.. Senior ll-lliisitoiry OUR years ago the gardeners were much perturbed by the sudden ap- pearance of a host of very small and exceedingly green looking individ- i 'xi uals, After much discussion and use of microscopes by the foremost it tl X3 JLJ? kg? scientists of Stockton High School, it was concluded that the new i M l species actually belonged to the great group of homo sapiens, and called themselves Freshmen. Everything might have gone back to normal again if these new Freshmen had stayed in one place, but they didn't, they very decidedly didn't. They ran around and bothered teachers, they experimented in algebra and dabbled in his- tory, they exhausted the supply of elevator tickets, and above all they taunted upperclassmen. The erudite and austere faculty decided to lend a hand. They went into a conference and, with the voluntary aid of Miss Robbins, began the pink and blue slip barrage. But this failed to halt such sturdy weeds, for by now they had become deep rooted in the soil of Stockton High. They organized into a more orderly body and elected as officers, Jack Hancock as president, Violet Van Pelt, vice-president: Merle DeCamp, secretary-treasurer: and Joe Wells, sergeant-at-arms, The year quickly passed, and the class of '29 eagerly came back to books and discipline committees for the second year. This time they called them- selves sophomores and chose for their ollicers, Andrew Boscoe, president: Nor- val Hammett, vice-president, Alvin Crow, secretary-treasurer, and Kermit Com- stock, sergeant-at-arms. The sophomore class immediately proceeded to act up as much as they ever had, only this time they did some of it on the stage. Three one-act plays, Neighbors, Maker of Dreams, and Tickless Time were presented under the coaching of Miss Ida C. Green. During their sophomore year, they did their best to keep the incoming freshmen in place and at the same time delve into the mysterious cubes, triangles, squares and other intricacies of geometry. Another fall came around, and the class of '29 suddenly found themselves upper classmen and were forced to act accordingly. As they were now old and sophisticated juniors, they decided to abandon politics and not elect officers. Now the fourth and final year of this class has rolled around. They have at last attained the distinction of seniors. A play called the 'freaking Chair, in which many seniors took part, helped to celebrate their achievements. Later in the spring a play called So This is London, raised the dramatic prestige of thc seniors. The class of '29 has come and is going. Each individual has successfully accomplished the work necessary for a high school diploma. Whether or not the members of this class attain higher distinction for themselves and for Stock- ton High School rests with the individuals themselves. The class of '29 will be long remembered in the annals of Stockton High School.
