In many schools the last paper of the year is taken up entirely with the Senior class. However, as the last paper of the year means the only paper of the year with us, and since we realize that while Seniors may be of the greatest im¬ portance in their own estimation they may not hold quite so high a position in the estimation of others, we have tried to have all departments of school activities represented, the literary, the athletic and the social. As such a paper we present this volume to you hoping it will give you pleasure and uphold the fair name of the school. —29—

HIGH SCHOOL ENTERPRISE ’0 7. poser of songs; the busy little Miss Daniel, bending over some herbs and flowers. With a far away look in her eyes, Grace raised her head, and softly played the opening bars. Her clear soprano voice rang and re-echoed through the old inn. It raised the college spirit of the boys, who joined in the chorus, until all took up the strain: f ‘I will sing with delight of the Purple and White, Of Petaluma High.” LILLIS HEMPHILL, ’09. TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION A sailor named Taylor was wrecked on a whaler—the sea was about to prevail, When lucky for Taylor the foundering whaler caught up with a slum¬ bering whale “In order to sail her to harbor,” said Taylor, “myself I’ll avail o’ this gale So Taylor, the sailor, the sail o’ the whaler did nail o’er the tail o’ the whale.—Life. ILLUSTRATING THE DIFFERENCE “What’s the difference between vision and sight?” “See those two girls across the street?’ “Yes.” “Well, the pretty one I would call a vision of loveliness, but the other one—she’s a sight.”—Ex. JOHNNIE’S CRITICISM. “Say, pa,” queried little Johnny Bumpernickle, “are you a self-made man?” “Yes, my boy, and I’m proud of it.” replied the old man. “But, pa,” continued the inquisitive youngster, “why didn’t you use a looking glass?”—Ex. The Argumentive Man—But, my dear fellow, I tell you it’s impossible for the moon to be inhabited. When it is full it is all right but when it wanes down to a little cresent, where would all the people go to? —28—

He chief social event of last term was the farewell reception given ll to the graduating class of ’07. It was held in Elk’s hall, which was artistically decorated with P. H. S. pennants, greenery and crepe paper. There were about two hundred guests present and the evening was spent in dancing. Two farces have been given during the term, one by the Athletic As¬ sociation and the other by the Juniors. Both were very successful and there was considerable dramatic ability displayed. In the Athletic farce Miss Jo Mooney who played the leading role proved herself to a very clever actress. The Seniors are proud of their fair classmate. After her return last lear the Senior class gave Miss Perkins a recep¬ tion at the home of Miss Belle Rankin. There were twenty guests present and a delightful evening was spent. Several very enthusiastic rallies have been held this term, which were well attended by the students and their friends. Under the able leadership of Leo Hart the Petaluma High School rooters have acquired a splendid repu¬ tation and our “Whiskity” is becoming quite famous. However, if some original chap would write a few new yells or a new song they would be very much appreciated. On September 6th the Senior class gave a dance at Armory Hall which was a social if not a financial success. Leo Hart acted as floor manager. The Basket Ball girls gave an invitational skating party in February at the Dreamland Rink in honor of the Vallejo team. It was due to the kindness of Mr. Macnider that the visitors were so pleasantly entertained. —3fl—
