L ' lPrincipal's Message After four years of attendance at high school what are you taking away with you? Of course, you have some knowledge about a variety of subjects. Most of that is important. If that is all, however, you have missed your opportunities. Unless you have learned in the class room and on the campus that the biggest things are gained through cofoperation, you will have that lesson to learn later. Other people count. If you continually try to get all you can for yourself without regard for the rights of others, you may win iinancial success, though that is doubtful, but you can not secure happiness. Let what you do it in with the work of others that your combined efforts may secure success for all. V In .

. ,Cl ui - .,1.,.l . L 1 F Senior History - HEN MR. AND MRS. FACULTY reached for the morning paper four years ago, a screaming headline, or, rather, a line of screaming heads, 509 of them, announced the coming of orphans to Stockton High. And now F the adopted Class of '27 has grown and gone. For it was none other f A than this famous group that Mr. and Mrs. Faculty so kindly took in. The befriended waifs responded to the care and supervised study given them by the elders' of the household, nor did they quarrel among themselves, but chose as their leaders Mervin Garibotto, president, Georgia Manuel, vicefpresidentg Clara Catherine Hudson, secretaryitreasurerg and Mervyn Littlefield, sergeant at arms. fMervyn Littleneld and his playmates progressed so favorably that when they had been in their new homes but a year, they showed marked and alarming tendencies to cut their teeth on younger and newlyfdiscovered basket babies. They could find in the polished halls no dirt on which to feed, consequently, they resorted to tiny infants.. E H - H Full 'of unexpected developments in character was the second year of their stay. In the first place, they were just at that stage when impertinence shows itself in back talk , an art which they upheld to the satisfaction of debate fans and the glory of playfgoers. And in their showing off before their friends and neighbors they so amused' thecallers that Mr. and Mrs. Faculty began thinking they had adopted a road show, and so planned great things for the promising generation, each visioned picture framed in footlights. True, the youngsters had acted up creditably in The Charm School . V There is no record of a quarrel among the fastfgrowing orphans, but it is known that during this second year' they suddenly chose Elizabeth Blackmun president, J. Henry Smith, as vicefpresident, Helen Thornton as secretaryftreasurer, and Jack Eagal as sergeantfatfarms. And then they were happy again. How the time flew! Here was William McCoy running out to play, and there were the other boys with bloody noses. William once stated, on reaching the age of which we write, that there was no Santa Claus, and that, furthermore, he would just like to see Mr. McKay going up a chimney or down one, either, for that matter. After which'speech he, Bill Chun, Emery Lally, Van Wolf and some of the other boys went' over to pick a quarrel with some Lodi boys. All this doubting of St. Nicholas took place in the third year of life with the Faculty, a year in which the young men and women began to sense responsibilities and to look to the future. As a result they elected, as usual, class leaders. The choices were president, Norris Rebholtzg vicefpresident, Helen Yohnerg secretary' treasurer, Dorothy Ulrici, sergeantfatfarms, Howard Wells. While Wayne Hubbard was president, Three Wise Fools and A Full Housev' immortalized the family name to playfgoers, and Dorothy Ulrici brought honor to the house in speaking. Some morning next September Mr. and Mrs. Faculty will find more astonishing news on the doorstep, more orphans, but none can 611 the place of the departed Class of '27. They have left home. .7 we 5 'L -1,-pf-'il ',,l'viL,f A Nineteen
