4 - I 4 -I-5,-57-,SGT IUNIOR YEAR At last! the class of '50 were upperclassmenl Soon after school started the junior class began to hold regular meetings. The main topic of these meetings was the selection of our senior sweat- ers. After much discussion and voting, it was decided that we would have blue sweaters with white blocks, and blue and white jackets. Something was happening around school that year. It seems we were to have our long-awaited swimming pool. November, the supposed month of completion, came and passed, but still our pool was just a hole in the ground. It was finally completed in March, but it was May before swimming classes were organized. Some of the high points of the fall semester were: The Frosh Reception, a big success: the Tam game, another loss C25-Ol: and an Inter- School Relations Dance, which seems to have become a friendly tradition. During this semester, Bill Russell was Student Body President. He is remembered as one of our reallY outstanding prexies. With the spring semester came elections. Con- rad Mueller was elected junior class president, and did a great job toward lifting the spirits of a dead-on-its-feet class. During that semester we held a junya Re- voo under the direction of janet Milani. This was a big success and some unknown talent was discovered. Later, the class sponsored a dance, the Trop- icana. Lots of hard work helped make this one of the nicest dances of the year. High points of the spring semester: Spring elections, Dick Reece elected S. B. President: Ra Ravas-Les Couts formal, Cupid's Fantasy: Nine Girls, put on by the dramatics class under Mr. MacChesney's direction: Barn Dance and Fair Day, always a big success: Tam-S. R. Basketball game fyup, we lost againj. With june came the Senior Ball, which was held at the Aquatic Park in San Francisco. As graduation drew nearer, there were the usual farewell parties to honor the graduation seniors. Although we all were happy to be the new senior class, many of us realized the old school would not quite be the same after the class of '49 had gone. SENIOR YEAR As we entered San Rafael High on that warm September day last fall, it seemed odd to realize that this would be our last year in high school. After a few weeks, however, most of us had become accustomed to being seniors, on our way to graduation. Aldo Dell'Era was our new student body president, and a really good one. jack Leonardi, meanwhile, was doing a grand job as senior class president. At year's beginning, the football season was in full swing by the end of the first month of school. Although our season was not one that could be called successful, we fared better in the Tam game than we had in the past few years. Our Ramblers won a victory with a score of 18-6, while our varsity lost, the score a close 7-0. As assembly commissioner, janet Milani cer- tainly deserved a good round of applause. Dur- ing her term of office, San Rafael enjoyed some of the best assemblies it has had for many a long Year. By the end of the fall semester, a new fad had struck San Rafael. How well we remember Mule Train and Ain't She Sweet, sung with the accompaniment of ukuleles, and the Uke Boys, who made such a sensation at several assemblies! In january, Winter Wonderland, the Ra Ravas-Les Couts formal, was given. This, we feel, must be mentioned, for the formals are always remembered long after the other dances are forgotten. Mr. Chourre was our senior class adviser. Election time rolled around several weeks before the end of the semester, with a great deal of filling out applications and campaigning. There were more students running for office than there have been in the past, and the competition was keen. When the voting was over and the ballots counted, it was announced that Ray Mcrrtignoli would be our president for the spring semester. Class elections took place at the same time, and Aldo Dell'Era was elected president of our senior class. The student council made a proposal that the school should buy its own graduation caps and gowns so that we would not need to rent them each year. This was put to a vote, and passed.
