It is exactly forty years since the first l'il.NI. a thin pamphlet of brown paper with a paucity of pictures. went out with the graduates of 1006-all ten of them. Une lmndred students and six teachers composed the school in those days. and the school itself was a little frame house on the estate then known as St. Margaretis school property-the top building in the left picture. fn the front yard of the school stood an elm tree around which the life of the school centered. and when it came to naming the first literary brainchild of the San Mateo High School. it was most fitting that it be called the ELM. The tree itself soon vanished. giving way to progress. even as San Mateo Hi progressed from the rented Dixon cottage on Ellsworth Avenue. where it opened on September 15. 1902. with three teachers and twenty-seven students. fTbird picturel Hut the fame and the concept represented by the elm-,the very heart of school activ ity-lives on. we hope. in our annual. The first editor of the ELM was Miss Winifred Burke. a gay little seventeen-year-old. hlled with enthusiasm for her editorial task. That is the same Miss Burke who is now the distinguished principal of Turnbull School. Since its humble beginning. the little pamphlet has grown into the present voluminous volume. expanding with the school and reflecting its progress and development. YVithin this issue your ELM staff has tried to show you some of the stages in this development. As you turn these pages you will be carried back to earlier days. There will be familiar faces in some of the pictures. and throughout you will be reminded of the transition high school boys have made from knickers to blue jeans. the girls from bloomers and blue serge to today's shorts and sweaters. Concurrently we have moved from an era when rules were laid down as law by a nmstached principal to student participation. Student government is permitted to function to full capacity. As the ability of boys and girls to emerge as individuals and develop their own particular talents in the fields that interest them most has become apparent. dramatics. music. journalism. shop activities. etc.. were provided for them. .Ns students manifested interest in student affairs and the desire to govern themselves. the Commission System of Student Government began. We are all familiar with the functioning of student government within the school and the training it gives us for intelligent participation in civic government later. Now. progress has gone a step further. Representative students take part one day a year in administering the actual govermnent of our city. Furthermore. for those students keenly interested in current affairs. national and international. there is opportunity to join the San Mateo Chapter of the California Junior Statesmen of America. affiliated with the state organization whose slogan is MMake Democracy Vlforkf' The Junior Statesmen form their own state government. have legislative conventions. and conduct their affairs on a state basis. This year several of the officers have come from our own San Mateo group. Glancing at the past. pictured in this ELM. you will be amused at the ideas and the clothes and the fashions. just as forty years from now the San Mateo students of the class of l986 will be amused at ours. The externals change, yet the same feeling must be common to all graduates about to leave this school. A part of that feeling is certainly regret at leaving the place where we have spent the major portion of our lives for four years. Vffe came in, kids from grammar school. and we go out young men and young women. A part of that feeling is certainly affec- tion for familiar places and things-the noisy. crowded halls, the desks. the gym. the athletic fields. .-X great part of what we feel is gratitude. too. to the old school itself. and to the country and community for having given us this opportunityg and gratitude, as well. to the teachers whose patience and understanding. and the spark that some of them have kindled in us, have been above and beyond the line of duty and not part of any job. Feeling all this in a very inarticulate way. we face the future. It is we. they tell us. who will have to cope with such things as atomic energy and world organization. iVe hope that our preparation and independence will make that struggle intelligent and honest. The next forty years will record even greater accomplislnnents at San Mateo High School. They will be written by classes of the future. Your ELM Staff has given you a brief look into yesteryear and has tried to set down your accomplishments. and your activities. and thoughts through this past year. Look at that record on the following pages! 1, u ff 'W'N .1 .. .V V G 4 4 w J V - ,fx 3 W , '. tt ,I 1 ' 'V 7. 'L '.r1 , VL nip 1' '. ta l w 44 - 1 W ' e-. 1 t, 5' 35. 1 . 1 A .'

The student body of four decades ago griped as we do. They danced to sweet sentimental music as we do. to many of the very same tunes -- and so these tunes head our ELM pages of '46, Looking back, they remember that their years in S. M. H. S. were some of the happiest of their lives, and so will we. The first ELM was published only four years after the San Mateo Union High School district was created in 1902. Since that 1906 ELM we have de- veloped from such small beginnings as a faculty of three and a graduating class of four. 1907-The graduates numbered ten. Joe Big Time drove to school in a hopped up horse and buggy. 1909 - Student body meetings lilld student government were given school time. The students took their work seriously: the ELM states, This year the oflice of yell leader has been purely nominal as there has been nothing to yell about except examsf, 1911 - We move to the site of the present J. C.. from a house in the ball- park. At dances students waltzed at arm's, length and referred. with raised eyebrows, to the Barbary Hug. 913 - Fords began to appear on tl1e streets of good old S. M.. frightening ,iorses and old ladies. The two-step was fast replacing the polka on our dance floors. Girls' skirts still nearly touched tl1e floor. Boys' collars were high, round and stiff. 1915 - The Hi was born. Birth of a Nation was showing at the local movie houses. 1918 -- Freshmen were admitted to the varsity this year fa man-power shortage then. tool. Several notables played on our championship Rugby team. There were 60 stars in our service flag. ' n I l Y it .X Are Forty Years eep 1919 - Students first heard the presidential election returns broadcast - through the headphones of a crystal set. The Co-op was organized. Girls still were wearing stockings. long and black. It would be several years before the famous bobby sock came into its own. 1922 - Burlingame Hi completed this year. Sorrowfully the student body separates. 1925 - Clubs boast gigantic memberships and many activities. Teen-age clothes start modernizing. 1927 - Alma Mater moves to Bellevue and Delaware. Rallies are impres- sive. A bonfire 35 feet high for the Big Little game. Girls cut their hair to boyish bobs. Shops are built. 1930-The flapper era sets in. Marcels appear everywhere. Girls sport madly swooping hemlines. Some boys wear knickers. 1935 f Cnr tower is sacrificed to safety when our school is earthquake- proofed. S. M. students spend afternoons at Burlingame Hi while repairs are being made. 1937 - Virginia Gilmore graduates. Did you see this Hollywood starlet in Gcwonder Manw? Edith Pemberton, of the girls' swimming team. breaks world records. 1939 - Mseniors vote that hazing is barbaric and must cease. 1940 - Sinatra age begins. Music building. Mickey Mouse and Mae Nvest poll the most votes in a student body election. fDeclared void. J 1941 - War! Again we prepare to save and sacrifice. Will' Bonds are bought. We say good-bye to seniors of draft age. A service flag is ordered. Our educa- tion takes on a new and vital importance as returning heroes advise us to study harder. 1945-Peace. with H00 stars in our service flag. Thirty-nine are gold. And here we are in the Att mic Ave! i U -By ,lane Foley d.l I1Oi0.l. '1Qmruyfs', figeeeygse ff W-f X Yesterday. a letter came from one of our boys who is still overseas. He wrote. I would give my right arm to be back in high school with the opportunities for an education and all the fun that goes with it .... M He meant what he said. and so do hundreds who have written or dropped in to say hello.M The returning veterans look back on their high school days as the best of their young lives. Ask them why tllose days were so good and they will say: Because of the op- portunities to study in various fields of learning. fields in which they now plan to earn their living. Because of the fun in high school, fun in moulding the spirit and tradi- tions we all so proudly talk and write about. Because of the friendships they made: friendships that are cherished. boy friends and girl friends. and romances. Because of the spirit of competition. the desire to make the tealn, to heat liurlingame. find because ol' carefree days when the nation was at peace and the future was bright. when plans could he laid to go to college or take up a job after graduation vsith a feeling of security and faith in the futuref' ll' all students who now attend high school could see and understand the attitudes of returning veterans towards education. then our present high school generation would he endowed with wisdom of great value.

VAN VHRIS SAN MATEO HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION We turn back the pages of time. and the past rises before us like a dream. The last forty years have presented many changes, and the credit for advancement is due largely to tl1e efforts of the faculty. At the end of World War l. Mr. George Wilir started our S. M. H. S. Band. and was advisor to the Hi. ln l922 Nliss Hedrick turned out a girls' champion basketball teamg and in 1927 Mr. Acheson began coaching basketball. baseball. and tennis. Mr. Blanchard was the advisor of an Engineers' Club in 1930. By 1936 the faculty numbered forty-eight. Twenty-three of these teachers are still teaching here. Faculty members were a part of school life in the past. but in the present they seem to be playing an even more vital part in the school's activities. In appreciation. we present this ELM to Nlr. Acheson for bringing to reality the dreams of an even greater school in the futureg to Mr. Blanchard for his decisive interest in this present ELM: to Miss Ruth Mantz. the advisor of tl1is yearbook: and to Mr. Wihr for his important part in our school's past: and to Miss Helen Cummings. and Miss Sarah Fisher. who are leaving San Mateo Hi. l l 1 1 Q Q giiwifnbi . 4 Af! , ' - U 4 ' naw I ,Q Sl i' A- g 2 ' at-...sell X , 1 The Faculty Directory W.

George Adams had passed away. Vive can be sure that he would have us remem- ber him perhaps walking to the baseball field with two or three bats in one hand and a first baseman's mitt in the other . . .perhaps running onto the basketball court shrugging off his orange jacket. Vfiedl remember what a great, fast-moving member of the varsity team he was this year. And again. perhaps we'll see him worrying for fear heid not make the team, but no one else ever worried about it. Even though the other schools feared him as a player, they liked and respected him for the kind of a fel- low be was. l can remember exactly how he looked. He had a perpetual good tan, which he acquired not by lazily sun bathing, but by practicing his golf, or shooting baskets, or playing base- ball. His eyes were twinkly blue, and his gen- erous mouth was kind, always ready with a grin. His build was manly and muscular far beyond his meagre years, and he often ran his bands through his short sandy hair. Who among us does not remember the sight of him walking down the hall toward a history class between Dick Ransom and Jim Trabucco for any two of that inseparable gangll wearing that white tennis sweater with red and blue stripes around the bottom? His head was bent slightly forward and his walk was singularly distinctive. Wvithout being trite, we can safely say that San Mateo has never seen such an outstanding all-around guy. He had a high B average, and was surely slated for the Student Body presi- dency. He just thoroughly enjoyed whatever he was doing, no matter how seemingly unim- portantfand since he enjoyed everything so immensely, you always found yourself laugh- ing, too.

ACTIVITIES The vibrant notes ofa bugle sentinel through the morning stillness. Students around San Mateo High School come to attention and face the flag. This is the flag-raising cere- mony that takes place each morning be- fore school. It has become as much a part of the school as the A. B. S.. which has been given the honor of performing the cere- mony. Back in the year 1930. the A. B. organized by Mr. Moore. started building traditions which now are a vital part of school life. A. B. S. promoted a greater interest in athletics by organizing inter- mural sports. One of the main features was a monthly boxing. wrestling. and tumbling exhibition, but these events were discon- tinued during the war. Another traditional feature was the Fathers' and Sons' Ban- quet. This activity. also discontinued dur- ing the war, will be renewed. Among the social events put on by the A. B. S. is the annual fall dance which meets with great success each year. The A. B. S. has also arranged noon hour dances and has pro- vided some outstanding assemblies for the student body. During the war the A. B. S. brought entertainment to San Mateo High's bond rallies. Recently. in keeping with their traditional support of athletics. the A. B. S. was assigned the task of main- taining the show case in the northwest hallway. A. B. S. OFFICERS fSpringl Left to right: JACK SMITH, President VINCE COSCRAVE.

They like the point of this square white cloth to come to the middle of their backs. and the fold around their face is pushed far back on their heads. held by bobby pins so it won't slip olT. Lots of pin-curls are visible. The girls all gather in front of the large mirrors and take downw their hair and gossip about last night's phone calls. The boys wear well-worn cords', or older levi,s. Either look as if they would stand up by themselves. and the 'hregsw don't like them if they've ever been washed!

Stuff. on Cur ELM Nineteen hundred six was tl1e year of the first ELM, published by the Hi-staff. with Winnie Burke fnow principal of Turnbull Schooll as editor. This thirty- six page quarterly. costing 25 cents per copy, was filled with short stories. editorials stimulating school spirit, and a survey of the Rugby season. In time, the short stories and editorials were eliminated completely, while Rugby summaries were replaced by features on football. The 1920's found organizations taking the predominant part in the ELM. Sports came into their own in the 1930is. and since that time they have held the spotlight. In 1908 it was decided that the ELM would appear only once a year: later, the number of issues depended on the size of the January graduation class. Advertising was discontinued in 1913, greatly improving the book. ln the tandem daysw printing was done by our own print shop: cuts were considered far too extravagant. In the 1920's, when the desire for pictures grew. they were taken by the advisor of the Camera Club. Finance has always been a problem. The 1929 editorial brought up the question of raising the ELM budget to 53141. The budget now is in the Wthou- sand dollar class, but the book is self-supporting. Different high school organizations have had a hand in publishing our yearbook. First, there was the Hi staffg in 1930 the Barker's Club was formed to pub- lish the ELM! then again the Hi sponsored it, for some time: in 1943 it was produced by a Creative Writing Class. under the direction of Miss Ruth Mantz, who has been the advisor since. The uncertain and pioneering days of the ELM are over, and it is now a firmly established tradition fafter forty yearsl l. Today it plays an important part in the life of all San Mateo students who take part in school life and activities and want to preserve a record of their school life.

For thirty-one years these many thou- sands of students have read. criti- cized. and enjoyed the bi-molithly publication of the Hi. their own school paper. The paper has gradually become an inseparable part of the school life of every student from the frosh to the high-and-niighty senior. To- dayis students take as matter of course the every-other Friday appearance of the Hi, as we glance at the feature column. read the head on the front page, and look for a confirmation of the latest football or basketball score. Then the school paper is thrust at the bottom of a pile of books or in an available trash can. To most of you it is just one more advantage that San Mateo High has to offer. Yet. in 1906 students clamored for a paper of their own. At that time it was a lack of funds that pre- vented the high school from having a paper. since to publish both a year book and a school paper was an unheard of extraiagance. Event- ually. in the spring of 1913. the first Ili was printed and students welcomed it with eagerness. At least they had a school-written and shop- printed paperf- one that was to continue to be published in the sehool print shop up to the present day. 'l'hrough the years this paper. relatively small in size, has become a tradition of San Mateo High School. It has reflected the views and opinions of a great number of students. 'llhis is why on the mast- head of the San glfateu Hi can be found the boldly printed words.

You probably have the usual mental picture of a dozen or so who yy rite poetry and walk around with their heads in a literary cloud when you hear Pencraft Guild. That supposition is easily dispelled by a quick glance at the picture on your right. You see some of your friends who are. above all else. laughter-loving. and they also have a very avid interest in presenting you with an limi that you will treasure for a long time-an l'iI,M through whose pages you can rifile and see your best pals as you know them. grinning those familiar smiles and sitting among friends they know best. And. of course. you don't exactly object to seeing your own picture once ill a while! ln this anniversary year we are briefing you on the Pencraft Guild. The first guild was started a dec- ade ago. It has been a continual source of good times. and since its members have been chosen for their writ- ing ability. they have found it an outlet for their ex- perimental first work and the comment and Criticism of their fellow members has stimulated them. ln I0 I3 the creatiy e writing class included produc- tion of the l'il.NI.. and its editors and managers were included in Pencraft Guild. Howev er. this does not mean that the members are merely ELM production experts.'i This year one member.

S. band. lt w as started in 1915. ln 1916 there were only two school practices a week. while now there is one every day. A military uniform was adopted in 1916. It consisted of an olive drah coat and cap. purchased hy the student body. and white duck trousers supplied hy the musicians. In 1918 the school hand was known as the NS. M. H. S. Cadet llandf' It played at the departure of the draft contingents: once hand and cadets accompanied the men to the Ferry Building in San Francisco. llntil ahout 1940. the band had to practice in the Art Building. as then there was no Nlusic Building. ln 1937. when Mr. lfugene Hrose led the hand. he divided his time hetween teaching Burlingame and San Nlateo hand students. The hand now has ahout eighty memhers. During the fall semester the hand keeps the spirit at foothall games at a high pitch hy the rousing marches it plays. and hy the routines it performs during half time. The uniforms of orange and hlack sweaters with white trousers lend spirit to the occasions. Each spring semester the hand gixes a joint concert with Burlingame and always draws large crowds. The spirit of competition is high. since there are continual tryouts for the top position in the diH'erent instrumental groups. Through the efforts of Nlr. Hrose. this hand ranks as one of the hest high school hands. ln llay. the hand competed in a Northern California music festival together with forty-seven other schools. :XS usual. our hand receix ed a rating of exceptionally superior.

Their popular music at the hasket- hall games and rallies has added a great deal of pleasure on many occasions.

San Nlateois mighty Bearcats took up American football in 1920. and in their second year came up strong to win four games by lop- sided scores. Before the days of American football. San Mateo went to this state finals three consecutive times - in 1917. 1918. and 1919. after winning the Penninsula title. The year 1926 saw a great San Mateo football machine smash all opponents and run away with the l'.,X.L. title. with the great Francis Meyers. now San Nlateois Fire lnspector playing. .Xfter this. they took the California lnter- scholastic Championship. San Mateo's first in American football. GGWag'1 Jorgensen. star of the 1930 eleven. helped keep San Mateo's goal uncrossed in P..-X.l,. competition. but even his efforts were not enough to keep the Blingum boys from booting a field goal to win the game 3 to 0 and steal an otherwise successful season from the Orange and Black. Nothing again exciting. in the eyes of Johnny Bearcat. happened until 1936. when we powerhoused a victory over Burlingame. under the guidance of Coach Brick Vlfilliamson. Again turning the pages back and knocking the dust off. we Gnd 1911's supermen. under the coaching of Q'Wag Jorgensen. That year saw Ozzie Mack. brother of Eddie Mack and also All-P. ML.. outplaying Burlingame. but settling for a 6-6 tie and a three-way deadlock for P.A.L. championship honors. ln 1942. San Nlateois juggernaut rolled over a highly favored Burlingame eleven to the tune of 19-12. after losing the other league games. This team was coached by Dan Lacy. recently returned from the Nay y. In 1943 Coach Quinn came to San Mateo. a few days prior to the opening of the football season. .els expected. San Mateo lost all of its games by small scores. 1n 19-H. the picture changed considerably. From the cellar to half- way up the ladder was San Mateois record. Vile won five games and lost four.

After hreaking even in four practice games. they began the season with a lose to Lincoln. They then took a game apiece from San Jose and Jefferson. only to lose to Sequoia. The next game was forfeited to them by Half Moon Bay. due to lack of players. Losing a surprise game to Palo Alto and then defeating South City, they were ready for Burlingame.

Coach Hank l.loy4lis track squads seemed sure ol' a lmright future when they turned out for their first practice session early in Fehruary. Nlain strength in this yearis team lay in the 'lihirties and l'nlinlite1l. which were composed mainly of veterans ol' last year's squads. Vlillf' lens and Twenties had to rely on freshmen. mainly. for their support. Special mention must he made of Eddie Nlack. sprinter and llI'0llIl-illllllN'I', who holds seyeral l'. A. l.. records. .-X track star at San Mateo for four years. Eddie has heen a trihute to the school in everything he has done and has lreen responsilrle for many San Mateo triumphs. A great athlete. Eddie hears the good wishes of all the students of San Nlateo. San Mateo finished a very successful season in track. The Varsity had one of the strongest track teams in the school's history. finishing Closely hehind l.incl0n High School. who took first place honors. Bolt Ratcliffe. lliek Leggett, lfiddie Hack. and Ches- ter Lax were the main point makers for San Mateo in tht- track finals. The baseball team captured a first plat-e this year. with the coaching of Dan Lacy. At the heginning of the season San Mateo lost an outstanding pitcher in George Adams. XY ith the loss of George, the team was without a pitcher. Frank Aquilar. only a freshman. took oyer the pitching chores. and during the sea. son he dropped only one game and won four. a sensational record. giinaflf liirof lfgiic?

A. L. championship team of 1945, San Mateo Higlfs Un- limited nine entered its first peacetime baseball season in four years last March under Coach Dan Lacy, recently discharged from the Navy. Able Remo Perotto and frosh Frank Aquillar took over and proved very capable. Coach Lacy assigned most of the receiving behind the plate to dependable ,lim Trabucco. whose hitting ability showed up well in the game box scores. The Bearcat inheld was launched with lanky, three-sport senior Ken Rose taking over in Adam's absence at first. Stan Larney and Al Cheetham vied for starting positions at second, while Tommy Fitzgerald, son of the late major league hero, Justin Fitzgerald. earned a berth at third with his flawless field play. Tall Ted Sterger rounded out the infield at shortstop. This season marked the fourth consecutive year in varsity baseball circles for leftfielder Dick Alt. His com- panion across the grass. Fred Silva. often used his bat to pull the squad out of tough situations. Lou Pergo dubbed for Ken Hose in rightfield. The Lacy men did their best work while out on the diamond demonstration defense tactics. A comparatively low error average was helped by several infield artists. Although hitting was the tallest obstacle in the path of the bearcats. the squad slowly inched out of its pre-season batting slump and batted out one of the most exciting seasons in years. Striving for its place in the San Mateo sports spotlight was tl1e tennis squad, coached by faculty member Ralph Steele.

Vfiith a group of hopefuls from the lower grades, Brick seemed assured of a well- balanced squad. The golf team this year, coached by Mr. Gill, had one of its best seasons in years.

Dancing, milling around the grandstand, drinking cokes, clowning in the hall, lolling in the stands-all these are never-to-be forgotten by most of us. This year we started with the 6'Bear Cat Ball 011 October 5th, Dress was sport, and we danced to the music of Mat Mateo. Nearly three hundred attended. Decorations were collegiate and the whole affair was handled by the Dance Committee. Commissioner Bev Brown and her committee ably arranged another dance on October 26th, when bedecked in jeans and plaid shirts, the students spent three very enjoyable hours dancing to the music of Maestro Mateo in the gym, which was decorated in the Hallowe'en spirit. In November, after the Big Little Came Rally, dancing a la juke-box remained attraction number one until eleven p. m. In order to wind up football with a celebration, the A. B. S. took over the gym on December Oth and presented the Fall Sports Finalef' Appropriate decorations and the old stand-by, Mateo's Band, round- ed out the evening very nicely for some two hundred and seventy-five San Mateans, dressed in their Friday night best. On January 25th, the upperclassmen donned formals and tuxedos and sallied forth to the library to dance and bid tearful goodbyes to their big brethren. Thus. with the 'LMidwinter Serenade, the fall season closed. By all standards it was one of the best. A quick change in dance committee was in order with the inaugu- ration of the new spring semester, and Hank Schneider adequately filled the bill as dance commissioner. His first big presentation was the March lvindsfl The feminine San Mateo-ites couldnlt decide if it might as well be Springf, so the dress was a combination of winter's stand-bys with a few young hopefuls in spring pastels. A bran' new band held us all entranced and the leader was none other than an ex-San Matean, Duke Campagna. He had lots of 11ew arrangements which included some cllatter-chorusesw-strictly a new note for the night life of our gym. San Mateo's mob of dancing feet met with alacrity the usual siege of formal dances. The crowded-as-usual A. G. S. dance, the Junior Prom, and best of all, the Senior Ball. Wie don't think a ball has ever been so gala, and you'll have to excuse us for having a large-sized lump in our throat at the Ball that means our goodbye. Maybe itis be- cause the war is over that the formals were prettier, the laughing eyes more sparkly and blue suits so impeccably brushed and pressed. Maybe they've always been that way, but we think it's because it's the last time that we will belong to this particular brand of gaiety. For most of you there will be more, but for those of us for whom these dances are the last of their unique kind, all that can be said is XX'e'vc had fun . . .M Bear Cali Bull Uclolwr 5 Scare-ily Cut Scool Uvtolwr 20 Full Sports Finale- Decellllmr o Miflwintvr S6'l'l'llil1l Devexlllwr 27 March Wvimls March 8 A.

The students probably arrived by horse and buggy. perhaps even in The Surrey with the Fringe on the Topf' 'l'he l'1l.llS show that the years 191 1-1916 passed pleasantly. and no one seemed concerned about the war until 191T- 1018. w hen our dances became patriotic affairs. Many of the students went off to war. even as in our time . . . and the girls promised to Keep the Home Fires Burning. ln 1919 the A. G. S. gave up its formal. and the girls danced around the Nlay l'o1e. instead. Xlong in the 1920's a new music found its way into San Mateo life. It was called Jazz. The students all loved it. but the parents thought that waltzes were more refined. No San Mateo guy would have been caught dead in a buggy . . . He either had or hoped to have a model T-but he dreamed ofa Stutz Bearcat or a Jordan Playboy . . . Dances and entertainments became more informal. Still no one wore easy-going. confortable sports cloiises, be- cause there were none. Girls wore middies and bloomers and long black stockings when they played basketball. There were no bobby sox and no Sinatra. There was a lot of good music and the high school gang bought hot .1 azz records for their victrolas. which would be museum pieces today. Think of them: St, Louis Bhlesf' 'GDinah. l2th Street Bag. Solid. We Hnd it hard to get a clear picture of the outstanding events of our school social in the early 1930's, but we do know that these were depression years: so perhaps t11e only thing to make us envious of this period was the price of used cars.

I hear only occasional laughs f i c asses. Sometimes 'they will sing 6'Happy birth- day to someone. and I imagine how embarrassed that someone is. I can almost see the slow red creep over his face. I wonder if teacher will be a good head and join in. or if he will penalize the well-wishers? The attendance slips are stuck in the doors. .IX boy walks down the empty. almost quiet halls. and g-athers them up. peering in the doors and waving to someone as he goes. Of course there is the short storm of voices and shuffling feet between classes. I hear warnings of impending tests and hurried consultations with the principal. I .Xt noon there is an amazingly rapid scatter of humanity. Some go to the cafeteriag some sit on the lawn or in parked cars or on the front steps. to eat: some go to the ,lay See fountain up the road. and some go around the corner down the road. Some go in groups of ten or eleven. and some walk slowly in couples. and I wonder how they ever find so much to say to each other. 7 ' . when the period is half over. Mr. .-Xcheson pushes me open purposefully andiwalks about the campus, talking to one or another as he goes. 4' 4 I ' c The afternoon passes more swiftly. and I hear tI1e boys shouting the count of their calisthenics in gym or yelling entliusiastically as they splash about in the swimming pool. Mr. Blanchard can almost be,seen sitting in his office. figuring out the schooI's complicated finances. Outside the sun is warm on my panels andthe flag blows about lazily in the faint breeze. The sprinklers turn everlastingly. with that familiar creak so peculiar to them. After school is my busiest hour. I am pushed and shoved a hundred different times. The parade of students frown from the afternoon sun. but they are glad. inside. The waiting busses fill rapidly with girls who carry their coats over their books, leaving one arm free to gesture. Boys pile into cars and hurry to Borden's. The streetcars are instantly filled. and I wonder how anyone else ever gets to North County. A few linger importantly for committefe meetings. More than once I have been the interested backdrop for invitation to a dance. It always goes about the same: the fellow tries to pretend that the thought to ask her had just popped into his head fas if he hadn't premeditated the very inflection of his voicell the girl accepts a little too readily. but with studied indifference. I always look forward to nights when tI1e Senior Ball is in the library. Then all the same ones who have tugged impatiently at me for four years. come. looking their best. The boys wear immaculate suits. and the girls have on beautiful long dresses. sparkling with newness. The strains of the music come faintly to me. and once in a while a reminiscent couple wanders down the hall between the green metal lockers. as if they had never really seen these things before. After the Ball. a few of the girls cry. and I like to think that I am a part of the things they will miss- when the Ball is over . . .M .ll I, X . , Z7 M if if fl 'Z .
