ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 work that was so successfully conducted here in that year, and it was largely through the efforts of the Freshmen that such a great task was accomplished. Two misfortunes appear on the calendar of that first year. The first of 'these was the long enforced vacation caused by the influenza epidemic, which so demoral- ized school work. The second of these was the abolishing of 'fllube Dayf' After having had a tantalizing taste of its joys, the Freshmen were robbed of it for the length of their high school careers by the misdemeanors of some of the upper classmen. The second year of the class' duration was marked by few events of distinction. Probably the most important was the appearance at this time in different sports of those athletes who have since supported their school so capably. It was during the third year that the class became a strong and established factor in school life. Much credit it due to Floyd Croddy, Junior President, and Miss Henry, factuly advisor, who inspired cooperation in the class, and enabled it to be- come what it has become. It was here that the Juniors appeared to be in evidence everywhere, in all lines of activity in school life. ln athletics, forensics, class work and in a display of school spirit, the Junior class established a standard which will never be equalled. A great event of the year was the Junior play, entitled Tangles Untangledff which was cleverly presented, and the Junior Banquet, coming after the play. The class of 1922 has been always honored. ln the third year, the Student Body Convention was held at Santa Ana, and during the fourth year, the football team, composed largely of 522 men, won the Southern California championship. That alone should distinguish the class, for though it does not claim all honor for the suc- cess of that enterprise, it was in a large measure due to the efforts of the class that the high morale of the team and the admirable support of the student body were maintained. Capable oHicers chosen from the class made the Student Body a success and con- ducted student government well. The whole year stands as a line of triumphs for Santa Ana High School and the class of 1922 is proud to have had a hand in helping. The close of the High School career of the class was as successful as its other en! deavors have proved. The Senior class play, Mrs, Bumpstead-Leigh,', was well presented to an appreciative audience, most of which witnessed the Commencement, and the awarding of well-earned diplomas, which were accepted by Newton Stark, the class president. The class of 1922 has tried to establish a standard which it hopes will be suc- cessfully maintained by all the succeeding classes. It feels confident that it is leav- ing the guidance of the school to capable hands, and it will long hold dear the memory of the four profitable years spent there. , NK iw lei, at fi V9 2 Jjxllifgfk 4- Steffi f ' if L 'ff' Le' he ',,,,,,f.g...--0- A-'--W ,V-,L .fwwfl f V Pag Ten

CLASS HISTORY In writing a class history, and even the history of the illustrious class of 1922, it appears impossible to escape from using the trite reference to the green-ness of the class as Freshmen. However, it will be conceded that the green-ness of the class of 122 when it entered Poly High School in 1919 was a less verdant hue than the usual collection of newcomers. At the very beginning of their high school life, the students of this class dis- tinguished themselves by plunging immediately into the tremendous amount of war Page Nine

ARIEL S ANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 SENIOR CLASS POEM Hail to the class of twenty and two! Buoyant our bark rides the crest, Argonants, led by lure of the blue, Out to the isles of the west. Land of adventure, the Future, we seek, Atlantes hope to explore, , Claiming inheritance promised the weak, Leave we the homelands bright shore. Shoulder to shoulder, a right merry crew, We've toiled, comrades all day by day, Manning our bark, in fellowship true, As we sail from the sheltering bay. Teachers have piloted, true to the course, Compass and chart to us given, Whether our quest brings us joy or remorse, Will be proof of the measure we've striven. Now the first knot of our voyage is near, The narrows will soon he passed. Forth cross the bar, through the breakers of fear, Weill sail on the ocean at last. Farewell dear S. A. High, beacon of light! As north star, constant thy Hame, As you guided us on through the fog and the night Weill follow the gleam in thy name. Forward-full speed ahead! follow the sun! Westward! unfurl every sail, Here,s to success of life's voyage, each one, '22 Classmates, All Hail! if f Page Eleven
