l'r w.xs a bright spring morning. tl2ditor's note: This is rather indelinite: there were at least two bright mornings this springj Classes had passed: late-comers had come off second best in their bouts with Aileen. A typical So- noma High day was under way. Up the front steps and in the door walked a tall, gray-haired man. He had the air of one who revisits boyhood scenes. XYalking into the ollice, he stopped to talk to Aileen. flood morning. .Xre you the secretary? Yes, l am Miss llansen. May l help you ? l would like to see Klr. Klarstersf' Please come in and be seated. lle will be able to see you shortly. lfive or ten minutes passed in which thc regu- lar office routine of checking attendance, etc.. was carried on. Then .Xileen said: Mit Klarsters will see you now. The visi- tol' rose. How do you do, Mr. Klarsters? l am Mr. Oldest Grad. .lust fifty years ago l was a stu- dent in the lirst class of Sonoma High School. XYe are always happy to have alumni visit the school, replied Mr. Marsters. Will you Pagc X please excuse me just a moment while l sign some letters? XYhile you are waiting would you like to look over a copy of my message to the Senior Class? Mr. hlarsters busied himself with his letters while Mr. Oldest Grad read the following UTCSSIIQICI Piuxcli-.u.'s lXlliSS.XGI2 In this year of lf?-ll, I wish to congratulate the Senior Class of the Sonoma Valley Union High School and the staff of lil Padre for this excellent yearbook. Nlay you always cher- ish this record of your high school life. This is the year in which education for na- tional defense has been stressed. XYe are now mobilizing all the energies of our people for the purpose of making .Xmerica the arsenal of democracy. Our schools are aware of the fact that the .Xmerican way of life must be preserved if the remaining free peoples of the world are to continue a free way of life. .VX great challenge confronts the youth of Xmerica. To everyone comes a clear call: L 'llow best can l serve my generation with my abilities ? Numbers of our young men have and will join the armed forces of our country

from Sonoma High fin the class of 'llj and later from U. C. Our dean of girls. Miss Doro- thy Godward. also teaches mathematics and Spanish. in which she majored at U. C. Stan- ford is the alma mater of Miss Edith I. Cog- gins. our English and social science teacher. Mrs. Agnes Blewitt can usually be found in the library where she is in full charge of all books. She also graduated from California and teaches English and biology. Mr. George C. Streifif flacking his usual shop clothesl is a graduate of the California School of Mechani- cal .Xrts. Mrs. james jensen surprised us all by her marriage in February and will not return next year. Her major while at the University of California was physical edu- cation. Mr. Harold Matthews. another Cali- fornia graduate. is an exchange teacher from Palo .Xlto High School, and will be with us this year only. He has taken over the science and mechanical drawing classes and the advisorship of El Padre. Miss Aileen Hansen you met this morning in her official capacity as our compe- tent office secretary. She graduated from So- noma not so many years ago and has been on our staff for five years. Perhaps since I am next in the picture I may mention that I graduated from X'Villamette Uni- versity and did graduate work at Stanford and at the University of XVashington. Mrs. Donald R. Hanson is leaving at the end of this term to take up the task of making a home for her hus- band. She has taught homemaking courses and is a graduate of the University of California. Mr. Arthur M. Mellor. who is at home with all kinds of animals is, very naturally, our agricul- ture teacher. He advises the F. F. A. and is a graduate of the University of California at Davis. I aiu very glad that I could see the picture of the entire staff. I hope to see them in person when I visit several of the classes. If you are not too busy. Mr. Marsters. I would like to meet your students, said Mr. Oldest Grad. I will be very pleased to introduce you to them. said Mr. Marsters. I am sure that they Pagv 10 would like to hear of some of your experiences as a student in the first class of Sonoma High. Our student body president. Heloise Dal Pog- getto, has just finished her term of office. Yes- terday, in assembly, she gave her farewell speech to the entire school. I am sorry that you were not here then. Perhaps you have a copy of it. said Mr. Oldest Grad. If so, I would enjoy reading it. NYhy. yes. Mr. Oldest Grad. I have a copy here on my desk. Mr. Marsters looked through a pile of papers and found this message: PRlESlDlENT'S Miassxoic September found us with a new principal and three new faculty members. Perhaps our school was quite new to them: however. I was familiar with both the students and student body activities. I found the student body or- ganization in good order and carried on from where we had left off in june. 1940. The en- thusiasm shown by the students in the sale of student body cards opened our year with suc- cess and spirit. During the course of the year we found it possible to buy new basketball and baseball uniforms. which enabled our athletes to make a much finer appearance. XYe were also able to add to the appearance of our band by outfitting four majorettes and buying a large banner. All the basketball games were reason- ably well attended. as were our dances. I wish to extend thanks to the student coun- cil and board of control. both of which aided so much in handling student affairs. The entire group of student body officers took their jobs seriously, and admirably handled their share of the work and responsibility. Holding the office was a memorable experi- ence and a pleasure, as well as merely a job. I learned much and enjoyed it in its entirety. XVhatever success was attained during the year was due to the loyal co-operation of the stu- dents and the faculty. to whom I wish to extend my sincere thanks. Hisroisis DM. PoooETTo. I enjoyed reading her message very much, Mr. Marsters. said Mr. Oldest Grad. If you
