As was The case wiTh The band, They had a very shorT Time in which To prepare Their program. The winTer program puT on wiTh The band was a big success, and was a Tine demonsTraTion oT The work ThaT can be done by This organizaTion. AT The daTe OT This wriTing, plans were being considered Tor enTering The Glee Club in The TesTival aT Oakland, This To be a conTesT Tor high schools Trom all over NorThern CaliTornia. 0 Because The orchesTra was noT organized unTil The second semesTer, iTs acTiviTies were confined To The annual play and To BaccalaureaTe services. AlThough In an exchange assembly program wiTh Tv1anTeca High School during The spring semesTer, The Glee Club presenTed a program which was well meT by The TvTanTeca sTudenT body. Also in The spring. The choral group presenTed anoTher concerT wiTh The band. This was The crowning poinT oT The year's work. Under The able direcTorship oT Mr. Melvin Wey- and, The Glee Club sang iTs way Through a very suc- cessTul year indeed. Like lasT year, and in years previous, The group was an all-girl chorus. Socially, The season was a success, Too. A Tew goT married, some became engaged, and The resT iusT had Tun! The organizaTion did noT meeT regularly, iTs work was greaTly appreciaTed, and showed The resulT oT serious inTeresT on The parT oT all.

As juniors, They won championships in baskeTbal.l, volleyball, and baseball. As seniors, They losT The volley- ball championship by a very narrow margin buT They came back again and won The baske+balI championship. Lavola Bussing was capTain oT The volleyball Team This year. OuTsTanding players on The Team included Alice TosTe, Arlene Schaapman, Rose TosTe, Jo Anne SlaTe, BeTTy Showers, and Lavola Bussing.

WiTh Flossie Allen as baskeTball capTain, we won all buT one game, nearly upseTTing The seniors. The score, I2 To l I, was The closesT any class came To beaTing ThaT Team. The girls look Torward To baseball, where we hope we will again give The seniors anoTher scare. SOPHOMORES-Experience was a greaT help To our Teams This year, Tor aTTer losing every game lasT year, we were able To come ouT wiTh wins in boTh volleyball and baskeTball. Dolores Gomes was capTain Tor volleyball, and Eleanor Schaapman Tor baskeTball. The Team headed by Dolores is seen in The picTure, buT The Team ThaT backed Eleanor consisTed oT Marilyn Ashcom, Marily Travaille, and Maxine Taylor as Torwards, wiTh Dolores Gomes, Marian Vieira, and Eleanor as guards. We wanT To Thank The girls OT The Teams Tor Their eTTorTs, and we are looking Torward To even greaTer successes nexT year. FRESHMEN-The Freshman Class produced some Top aThleTes This year, alThough we didn'T win a game. WiTh another year or Two oT pracTice we Think ThaT we will be as good as The upperclassmen oT This year. MosT oT The girls didn'T know how To play volley- ball very well, buT aTTer a liTTle pracTice. The Team showed surprising improvemenT. On our baskeTball Team were Mary FurTado lcapTainl, Edna VinceleT, Josie EsTeves, 'Mary Lou Rackley, Marlene Blackman, and Sadie Williams. Dolores Silva, Mary Saabye, Charlene Dalman, and Wanda WhiTmore were subsTiTuTes. We Think They did very well.
