Noon in from of II1e Science I-IaII. QI BASIS OF AMERICAN LIBERTY DEDICATION IN THIS YEAR OF TOTAL WAR NO ANNUAL WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT A THOUGHT FOR THE BOYS WHO ARE SERVING THEIR COUNTRY. THEY HAVE GIVEN UP MANY THINGS THAT WE WHO REMAIN STILL TAKE FOR GRANTED. MANY OF THESE BOYS WILL NOT RETURN: SOME WILL BE UNABLE TO EARN THEIR OWN WAY AFTER THE WAR IS FINISHED. TO THESE BOYS, AND TO THOSE WHO WILL GO, BUT RETURN, WE, THE STAFF OF THE I944 MAGNET, DEDICATE THIS BOOK, AS A REMINDER OF THE THINGS FOR WHICH THEY ARE GIVING THEIR LAST BREATH. IT IS A SMALL GESTURE ON OUR PART WHICH MAY HELP TO CONVINCE THESE BOYS OF OUR SINCERITY OF PURPOSE AND OUR DESIRE TO KEEP THE LITTLE THINGS, WHICH MEAN SO MUCH TO THEM, ALIVE.

As we, The Class oT I944, say Tarewell To Selma l-Tigh, To our memories come ThoughTs oT our high school days. ln SepTember oT l94O, we enTered The doors oT This insTiTuTion as green Freshmen. The Then high and mighTy Seniors greeTed us eTTusively aT Their iniTiaTion, aTTer which we became Tull-Tledged members oT The Orange and Black. WiTh a lively Freshman parTy, we began our social liTe and became Tamiliar wiTh The ideals and sTandards oT our Alma MaTer. As Sophomores we TelT superior To The incoming Freshmen oT I94I and became permanenT Tigures Tor The ensuing Three years in classes and acTiviTies oT Selma l-ligh. This year, however, The aTTaclc on Pearl Harbor overshadowed our lives and made a deTiniTe change in our aTTiTude and world. i During our Junior year several oT our members heard our CounTry's call and enTered The Service. NeverTheless, wiTh The changes necessiTaTed by a world oT warflilce conTlicT, we carried on our regular acTiviTies. On December I7, l942, we produced our Junior play, iiDon'T Talce My Penny. As Mr. OTTO, our direcTor, enTered The Navy, Miss Cooper graciously Toolc over his duTies. We enjoyed several parTies, among which was a hay ride. The greaT evenT oT The Junior year is always The Junior-Senior BangueT, which we gave May I5, I9-43. Barbara SchloenvogT as general chairman, assisTed by her several capable commiTTees, enTerTained The Seniors royally wiTh a splendid BangueT, having as iTs Theme Wings Tor VicTory and being held in The MeThodisT Church. 'K ln OcTober oT TQ43, as Seniors This Time, we enTered The porTals oT our school To cornpleTe a busy, happy, proTiTable Tinal year. Our February Senior Assembly, depicTing The imaginary school days oT our TaculTy meme bers, was a greaT success. ln April we Thoroughly enioyed a sl4aTing parTy aT a RollaTorium in Fresno. This year we were The guesTs oT The Juniors aT a grand BangueT, May I3, having as iTs Theme The novel one oT VicTory Gardens. Under The direcTion oT Miss l-lorrocks, our Senior play, The Very l.ighT Brigade, was presenTed The evening oT May 27 To an apprecia- Tive audience. Our Tinal dance, a Tormal one, was held in The gymnasium June 3. WiTh baccalaureaTe and graduaTion June I i and June I4, respec- Tively, we said good-bye To Selma Fligh and are now ready To assume our responsibiliTies as young adulTs, graduaTes oT Selma Fligh School. 5 I f' . .

T 1 ' , K ' ,, . I tis? C955 .55 Girls, redheads, blondes, and brunettes waiting with anticipation tor the ball to come down-they were the Girls' Athletic Association, numbering one hundred titty-six in their annual volleyball tournament last tall. The girls played their games until at last one team had won, a team composed ot seniors, with Irene Perry as captain. . Some girls were selected to represent the G. A. A. in a volleyball game with Parlier in which our teams came out victorious. Next came the long awaited basketball tournament, which was played at noons. Every day a team worlced its way to the finals, which were again won by a senior team, with Karen Thygesen as its captain. Later there were also baseball and swimming contests in which one girl fought her way, or in which one team fought' its way, to the finish and victory. The G. A. A. sponsored various parties and the Girls' Jinks to which only the girls and their mothers were invited. This function was given in the guise ot a carnival, the proceeds ot which went to the Red Cross. The Girls' Athletic Association has been a very active and successful organization this year, and all the while individual girls have been getting more and more points towards the awards which are the emblems, numerals, Teddy Bear insignia, and sweaters. The sweater is given to only three girls who have the most points at the end ot their iunior year and so is the most' coveted award of the G. A. A. 49 Row I: Alma Alma- iian, Virginia Sudd- iian, Virginia Kaspaf rian, Laura Balakian, Mary Stepanian, Eve- lyn Green, Elizabeth Kooioolian, Jennie McDowell, Edna I-Iart, Alma Woods, Dessie Vincent, Pau- line Witt, Mary Bo- runda, Eunice Basma- iian.
