Those interested in T. U. H. S. were greatly pleased with the Operetta, hVVindmills of Holland. The entire school took part in this and the Dutch costumes were very effective. The Domestic Science Class served dinner to the School Board and the Faculty, after which the guests enjoyed themselves with music and songs. The students began the Commencement week program by giving a sur- prise dinner to the faculty, which the whole school attended. Giving and receiving toasts formed a part ofthe event. On Sunday evening, Dr. XVhite delivered an inspiring Baccalaureate address. On Tuesday, the Seniors pre sented ttPolly in Politics? XVednesday afternoon and evening the Junior- Senior picnic furnished amusement to Seniors, Juniors and Faculty. Thurs- day evening came the long looked for event, Commencement in the new build- ing. Dr. Bonner of the College of the Pacific gave the address. Festivities closed on Friday evening with the Alumni dinner, given by the former gradu- ates to' the Faculty and Seniors. School opened September 20, 1920. Again we have many changes and im- provements. We have two additional teachers, Miss Hunt and Mr. Brauer, and again new subjects are added toour course of study. The first social affair was a reception to the new students and Faculty, . called the ttGet Acquainted Party? Our new courts were hurriedly made ready for fall tennis. Basketball, too, claimed attention. We were not fortunate enough to win from Sanger or Kerman, and Clovis forfeited. Spring tennis followed closely on the heels of basketball, We were able to win from Kerman and held our own pretty well with the other schools. Baseball was of great interest to both boys and girls. An awakening interest in track completed the list of our athletic events for the year. The public speaking class presented ttBess Goes to Europef Which was the first school entertainment to the public for this year. Early in the fall a motion was brought before the Student Body proposing that we publish an annual. Committees of investigation were appointed and after careful consideration we decided that Tranquillity Union High School should publish an annual. The Seniors were placed in charge and they organe ized and selected the suitable editors and assistants. The music class presented an Operetta, The Isle of Chance? on Saturday, May 7. The electric lights added to the beauty of the scene by bringing out the background and costumes, also, by furnishing color effects. Those interested in the success and progress of T. U. H. S. will notice many changes. School first opened in a makeshift building with three Fac- ulty members and fifteen pupils. Each pupil had to furnish his own convey- ance. Now we boast a tidy and convenient high school building. tWe owe much to Mr. Bohns, who has been our faithful and efficient janitor for two yearsJ Six able and willing Faculty members are always present to assist in our many tasks. Two White buses, seating, respectively, twenty-eight and thirty-four students, With capable drivers, go to and from the school deliver- ing the students daily. This is the fourth year of existence for T. U. H. S. and the Seniors this year are the last of the pioneers of the-school. The class is very proud of her loyalty to the school, for when Tranquillity Union High School has been men- tioned these students have been her staunch defenders and loyal helpers. They have always been willing to advertise T. U. H. S. and have every good Wish for her welfare. The Senior motto is, TtBe Square, and they have tried to live up 10 the motto made early in their school career. As a final tribute to T. U. e24es

T. U. H. S. Alumni In this our first Annual it is fitting that some word be said about our graduates. We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to say that while our little school is only four years old, we have had two graduating classes, and that all the members of those Classes have made good. We are very proud of our Alumni. The Class of 1919 consisted of Earl Dierking, Leafadel Miller and Dorothy Stricklin. Earl is now working in his fathers store in Vallejo, after having spent one Semester in the State University. Both he and Leafadel came back to us for one year of graduate work and were loyal and loved members of our student body last year. Leafadel is now working in C. H. Staplesi store in Fresno, while Dorothy is finishing her second year of work in the Fresno Junior College. The members of the Class of 1920 were: Una Curry, Volina Edgar, and Dorcas Gilbert. Una is now finishing her first year in the San Jose Normal. Volina is with us again and doing work worthy of her class. Dorcas is now Mrs. Harry Dennis and lives at San Joaquin; and to judge from Harry,s smile she is making good. Members of our Alumni, we wish you well!
