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.

by home rooms. This scheme has been well'worth while. During the latter part of the A8 term the members of 215 moved to 301A. As B8's the girls in 215 and 301A combined won the volley ball championship. Many B9's received Optimus Club pins or awards, some received emblems or letters. During the latter part of the term Miss Parmalee, our well liked sewing teacher, passed away. Masa Sugahara was elected Thrift Captain and led the B8 army to victory over the A9 army. This year there will be, perhaps, ten who will receive gold pins in the Optimus Club. They are Othello Brown, Lenore Duggan, Augus- tine Holanbek, Patricia Horgan, Bettie Maas, Betty Lovelace, Keithia Wicks, Geraldine White and last, but not least, the only boy, Howard Rodgers. There are many others who will receive Optimus pins and awards other than these. 'There will be quite a few girls to get complete emblems. Several are positive of theirs. And, of course, there are others who will get theirs, but they are not quite positive of them. Many boys will receive letters or stars for playing or captaining teams. That is, IF they don't fiunk. They are, namely: Willie Aguilar, Bobbie Hargrove, Brick Tucker, Arthur Mollner, James Cor- bell, and others A9's, of course, hold most of the high offices. The most popular and ablest were elected, for who other than Arthur Mollner and Augus- tine Holanbek could make better Student 'Government presidents? Othello Brown and Howard Rodgers were chosen for second vice-presi- dents. M. Yamate is secretary of the Boys' Student Government and Geraldine White, the daughter of our principal, was chosen as secre- tary for the Girls'. 'N then came the day whenpyyke Qegted our class officers, and after careful search we discovered that Edward Hodge and Keithia Wicks could fill the places as president and vice-president the best. We then chose class colors, and after carefully considering them decided that, as this was the spring of the year, green and white would be most appropriate. This same day held many joys for Keithia Wicks, because she was elected president of the Optimus Club. Violet Jackson was elected secretary of the same organization, - The class parties had the co-operation of every member of the class and both proved to be very successful. Then came the night when one by one we marched to the stage in spotless White and dark suits, decorated only by our colors, green and white. Commencement! That glorious night which we may look back upon for many years to come and remember our happiness and yet a touch of sorrow -was mixed within, the thought that never again would we march on the Sentous stage as students of Sentous in that manner. We cannot leave Sentous without saying a few words of apprecia- tion to our classroom teachers, Mr. Wilson, Miss Stahmer, Mrs. Daily and Mr. Altheuser. And to our former teachers, Miss Fazendin and Miss Huebner, we wish luck. We leave Sentous with the memories of two teachers dear to us all, Mr. Kerr and Miss Parmalee.
