Class History I This is S.S.S., Los Angeles, Radio Central Super Station of Sentous Junior High School, owned and operatednby the Sentous Student Body. We have with us tonight the A9 class, one of whose members will now relate to you their HISTIRY during their stay at Sentous. To the members of radio land I wish to 'say good evening. We, the A9's, are the oldest class at Sentous. Many of you in radio land have heard of our history, but put it all together and you will find that we have had a very interesting time here. Q - V - While we were B7's we were one of the 'largest classes in the school, and had one of .those infrequenththings' called 'mixed classrooms. This was C.'R. 311, sponsored by Miss Huebner. 209 was, as it is today, a girls classroom, sponsored-for Miss Stahmer, and Mr. Altheuer still remains in. 317. i5M14. Kerr, the famous story teller, kept order and advised the boys in 121. Miss Fazendin was in charge of C. R. 215. As B7's we were well on in athletics, both boys and girls. In the second live weeks ofuthe term a girl came to .school on crutches, whom we at once recognized as Marlyn Cravensg would you believe it? James Corbell, William Aguilar, Robert Hargrove and- many other boys were rapidly progressing as the class athletes. Betty Lovelace and Lenore Duggan did a cute little Irish dance. As A7's we had many students in the Optimus Club. Four of our girls were in thxe Girls' .Glee Club and one boy was in the Boys'. Many of the girls were eligible to join the Pacs and Sacs. We had a thrift campaign and, I'm sorry to say, We were defeated by the B7's. There was a playground meet during this term, and our school did folk dances. Some of us, that is, most of us, participated at the Coliseum. Q As B8's fI'm out of the seventh grade at lastl, we were very sorry to hear that Miss Huebner had left us to go to Fairfax and here we were, the pupils of 215 fformerly 3113, orphaned and lost. But soon a brilliant. young lady, Mrs. Daily, came to our rescue. My! but we were glad it was her. When summer came many had transferred, and so we had to have more students. Miss Stahmer, in her kind way, was sad about parting with some of her girls ibut she received them all back, as good as newl. Mr. Kerr also loaned some. - Many new members of the Optimus Club were from our class, but We have to say a few were dropped. E. Oh! Iforgot to tell you that 311 and 215- had traded home rooms. We had many games to our credit, and wehad a few to some other grades. Thefboys had won'many letters 'and starsf' . ' 1' 'I ' ' '. As A8's We had a very sad thing happen. One off the most beloved teachers, Mr. Kerr, passed away.' 'Not only 'was' henoted for his stories, butfor his kindnessand willingness tohelpfin many ways. ' 'Alfred Chaix Wont the boysf. track meet.
