WHEN E-ig MD ME T91-xETER so YEARS joyful tears were shed fluen e-assemble meeting of the Winter Class of 1934. Friendly greetin bccupied the first hour in the cozy pent- house of Mrs, Esther Swart. After the old acquaintances had been freshly re- newed ffor you realize it had been fifty long years since many of these former classmates had seen each otherj a light luncheon was served. We'll not go too deeply into this, for it only consisted of fried rabbit for chicken if pre- ferredj, dumplings, artichokes, cocktails, caviar, etc. Adjourning to the ve- randa and into the garden, which fifty years ago would seem like the Yellow- stone National Park but is just a cozy garden of today, the class, settling themselves comfortably, appointed a temporary secretary to read the history of the class during its six years of high school to bring back those happy days once again. Irene Goul, acting as secretary, proceeded with the class his- tory as follows: Early on the morning of February 6, 1928, a great number of small, frightened faces peeped through the huge portals of Banning High, but were afraid to enter. After much persuasion by the juniors and Seniors the little mites were finally coaxed into the auditorium where they were assigned Miss jones and Mr. Yeoman for home room teachers. This first year passed with- out much excitement save for a successful Christmas Party given the day be- fore the Christmas holidays. They were then promoted to the eighth grade. And maybe you think that wasn't a relief not to be called a 'scrub' any more, interposed Franny Foster, probably unintentionally relating the senti- ment of the entire class. The class was too large for two teachers to handle, continued the sec- retary, paying no attention to the interruption, so it was divided into a third group which was given to Miss Clayton to rule over. Certain days out of each week were set aside for various activities. One day a week was given to telling jokes tnice ones preferablyj. Small debates were also presented to uphold the interest of the class. Continuing on into the ninth year, they began to make themselves known around the school. Did we and How! shouted Pete, Diharce, lying on the cool grass in the shade of a huge pepper tree. That'slwhen we entered all the sports. 'Tm coming to that, cut in the impatient secretary. As I was saying, she continued, 'Athe boys turned out in large numbers for all sports this year, Frank Newman alone carried the track honors for the class in the ninth grade, but in the tenth grade he was assisted by Francis Foster. The boys out for football this year were: junior Parks, Paul Richardson, and Lee Risler. One of their football heroes left them this year, which was quite a blow to the team as well as the class. The girls were also shining lights this year, for they took the champion- ship for volley ball under the captainship of Vada Peterson. The junior year was filled with several parties and small dances. The outstanding parties of the year were the Christmas party and the Valentines party. Everyone received lovely Valentines and inexpensive Christmas presents. The privilege of having a dance day was bestowed upon them as it usually was on every junior and senior class. In the A11 the girls had another championship team, this time in baseball, Consuelo Armento was the sturdy and able captain. A cup brimmed full of candy was presented to the team in a special assembly. The girls also won a basketball championship with Catherine Fernandez as their . NIOR B CLAQHISTORY Continued on page 34.
