THE ECHO tain of the school teams were glad to get Junior athletes, and again we received high marks in our studies. We worked hard that we might not miss anything that was happening, and we were usually able to help in some way. In fact, Juniors were prominent in every school activity. But our Senior year has been the most eventful, for we have worked hard and played hard. Besides being members of the school team, the Senior boys won the interclass track meet, a hard-won contest, Both on the athletic field and in the class room Seniors have been conspicuous. Gayle Johnson was our President during the fall term, while Byron Mc- Cormick was the leader of the class through the spring term. ? Throughout these four years, we have given our best to the school, and have loyally upheld its traditions. We have played on its teams, kept up its standard of scholarship, and participated in its society and government. We have done well in this high school. May we do as well after gradua- tion, and be as successful in later life! Louis Mounts '23 ReMuonds I walk among the trees to-day. The tall and graceful redwood trees, While Nature leads me her own way, To hear the sighing of the breeze. She leads me past a clear, cool spring, Where laughing waters dance and play; She leads me on to birds that sing, Mid radiant sunbeams free and gay. Where golden poppies nod and sway By sparkling streams the livelong day. Until at last, when shadows creep, They gently nod and fall to sleep. Margaret Coon, ‘23.

We have fostered social and governmental activities here, and have done our part in maintaining the high standard of scholarship and of athletics always held by the Santa Rosa High School. As Freshmen, although we were often called ‘“‘greenies’’ and ‘‘children,”’ we were received and welcomed. At a reception given in our honor we were delightfully entertained by the Student Body. We decided then that perhaps Freshmen life was not so bad as we had thought. However, though we gained in self-confidence as the year advanced as Freshmen we attained little prominence. ; We were kept in submission during our Freshmen year, but as sopho- mores we learned our true relation to the school. Sophomores were on every team that year; our scholarship was good, and we took part in the government and the society of the school. By that time we were accus- tomed to its traditions and customs, and began to take part in its various activities. In our Junior year we were even more active in school affairs. The cap-
