And, indeed, our memories do go back on us all too often. I-Iow fortunate we are. then. to have preserved for us within the covers of this annual the records o-f the highlights of the year that is past. Every page, every picture will recaII to us again and again the friendships we formed, the activities we enjoyed. the achievements we made, the ideaIs we struggIed for back in I939, in good oId Point Loma High School! CongratuIations to the Staff and the Class of '39 on having pro- vided us aII with such a delightful memory Ioook. It wiII serve to remind us of a fine class of bo-ys and girls for whom we wish every success and happiness in the future which Iies ahead. Wigwam, FAC Administration Clarence R.

S. B. Commissioners. Their enthusiasm and ability were so contagious that the rest ot the students were eager to support all their projects. The corrwmissoners began the year by organizing a new dernerit system and by putting over a successtul drive tor the sale ot A. S. B. cards. The programs tor assemblies and events ot the athletic season are to be noted tor their unusual success. The Commission planned the very well attended rally dance and the A. S. B. Ball at the House ot Hospitality. ln the spring an ambitious Clean-Up campaign and a skating party were sponsored by the Commission. Point Loma's commission torm t o student government has shown great improve- ment in etticiency and smoothness ot o er t' h p a ion t is year, and the student bod pride in it. Twelve y takes WINTER CLASS N FEBRUARY one of Point Loma's most unusual classes was graduated. The winter class of I939, the smallest in the school's history, was com- posed of nineteen members. Although their numbers were small, each member worlced so efficiently and cooperatively that the affairs of the group were planned and carried out with great success. The nineteen. favored by luck, found perfect snow weather at Cuyamaca State Rancho where they spent their Ditch Day. The fun of Ditch Day was equaled only by the Seniors' enjoyment of their party at Dick Montgomery's ho-me. The class initiated a type of graduation exer- cises which may become a tradition for winter classes at Point Loma. The exercises, informal but truly impressive in their simplicity, were held during regular assembly hours in the presence of the senior high students. Jeffries l-lall served as class president with Dick Gilliland as vice- president and Adella Wickham, secretary. The February class has at- tributed its accomplishments to the great enthusiasm shown by its sponsor, Ethel Henderson. by the teachers, and by Mr. Swenson. The class left a message of encouragement and good wishes to the classes which will graduate from Point Loma in the future.

Point Loma, with its traditions and opportunities, inspired the class to worlc toward this ideal, and Mr. Swenson, the teachers, and the class sponsor, John C. Lamott, have given untailing and invaluable aid. Each member ot the class has worlced to contribute in some way to the success ot the group as a whole, and some have received recognition tor their outstanding achievements. The class selected its otticers because ot their service and leadership in past years, and so well have they executed their duties that the class is proud to be represented by them. Russel Crane has served as president ot the senior class, Jaclc Palmer as vice-president, Ryo Morilcawa as scretary, and John Kearns as treasurer. Many seniors were on the tootball team which won so many victories this year, and John Kearns, Dave Cobb, and Chattey Weiber were chosen on the All-Metro League team. Seniors of outstanding scholastic achievement were Alice Casselman, Marcella Laddon, l-lollas Williams, Peggy Mayer, and Walter Gamble. Seniors chosen on the A. S. B. Commission included James Lowell, general attairsi David Porter, tinance: Jean Sherwin, girls' activities: Dorothy Davis, girls' athletics: Jaclc Palmer, interscholastic athletics: Jeanne Walden, historian: Barbara Cooper, clerlc. The seniors will never torget the caretree tun ot swimming and picniclcing at Del -Mar on Ditch Day. The Prom at Hotel del Coronado was the lcind that every senior dreams ot. Then with the Ford Bowl as a lovely setting, impressive exercises tittingly closed the high school lite ot Point Loma's I939 seniors. The one hundred and titty graduates have reached their goal. Now they are eagerly going torth to seelc the new desires and aims that their widened horizons will open to them. Sixteen Jack Anderson Herbert Hoover High, Pointer Statt 4. Baseball 4.
