eniot fffemotiea lfolfn visaas ago we were standing on the threshold of a new adventure. We were shy and timid. as all Freshmen are expected to be. However. we survived the initiation from the upper classmen. In our Sophomore year we began to show signs of activity. The boys proved themselves to be promising athletes. XVe continued to hold a good record in our scholastic standing. Our Junior year will be remembered for a long time. It was then that we got our Junior sweaters. This was a definite departure from the usual cus- tom, and met with the approval of everyone except the envious Seniors. One of our most outstanding activities as Juniors was the decorating for the Senior ball. It was acclaimed the best in eight years. Living up to all expectations. we proved ourselves to be above average in athletics-four of our boys made the lirst string of the Northbay League basketball championship team. It was in this year. also. that the Dramatics Class presented the first three- act play to be given in many years. Little XVomen . The beginning of our Senior year was marked by a few minor disturb- ances which may be expected in any class. Despite this. we unanimously agreed on the design for our Senior ring. Due to the efforts of several of the Senior class. the Dragon's Tale was published bi-weekly during the school year. Now we are again facing a new adventure. We are eager to go forth. yet wish to linger. No longer will we have the security of our High School days. We must go on-not as a body. but singly. The opportunity to learn has been ours. but what goal we attain in life will be of our own making. 12
