VIXSS 'Y-7 Qi FRESHMAN YEAR The Senior Class of I947 enTered San Rafael High School in I943, and anTicipaTed a happy four years ahead of Them. To welcome The class, The Freshmen were given The Freshmen RecepTion. As Freshmen we do remember our STudenT Body PresidenT, John Rossi, wiTh his brighT red hair. To beTTer lcnow our schoolmaTes, a Hello Day was held in which everyone goT as many signa- Tures as possible. The dances during our Freshman year included The Barn Dance, ChrisTmas Dance, and The COT- Ton Ball. The Girls' Jinx was given, and much enThus- iasm was shown by all who aTTended and had a good Time. The boys were given oTher lcinds of enTerTain- menT To familiarize Them wiTh The school. We all experienced our firsT formal in San Rafael High School and iT was a real success. lT was called The SweeThearT's Prom. Ed Dillman was elecTed PresidenT on February 3, when he deTeaTed Connie Morey, his final opponenT. So ends our Freshman year, wiTh everyone anTicipaTing The nexT semesTer when we would be THE SOPHOMORESH. OUR SOPHOMORE YEAR I944-I945 The sophomore year in high school and college, we recognize, as did lasT year's senior class, as The one leasT remembered in afTer years. There- fore, lilce The previous class, our Book of Mem- ories has liTTle To record during The monThs of our sophomore year. We reTurned and welcomed our new fall STu- denT Body PresidenT, Don Collins. San Rafael High Bulldogs defeaTed Tam 20-l2, and won The NorTh Bay League Championship.

An enThusiasTic group of sTudenTs formed a music club called The Nu BeTa Sigma . A memorial assembly was held on April l8, I'-745, in honor of Major CuTfe who, because of his friendliness, was lilced by everyone.

A member oT our class, Dave Ford, was chosen winner oT The Lions' Speech ConTesT and was presenTed wiTh a wrisT waTch. Three oTher com- peTed in This conTesT, Two oT Them being Juniors, Dolores Cooper and Cole Blease.
