JUNE CLASS FOUR YEARS AGO, a flock of little scrubs entered the folds of Stockton High School. Ah! How well the now mighty seni- ors remember those first hectic days of ad- justment. A guilty blush would spread on their faces when they jumped up at the forty minute bell in study, only to cower down under the jeering call of Scrubs! However, these freshmen, made of strong stock, survived the heckling and asked about the laws of the school from the deans. After hearing the rules of the game, out brave freshmen settled down to the hard grind. Came the day of the N. R. A. parade. Nat- urally, the freshies were stuck at the end of the line, but in the final reckoning they showed up the mighty seniors. Ending their first successful year, the freshmen donated several valuable players to the football team. At the close of that first year they heaved a sigh or relief upon at least having lost the stigma of scrub',. Back at school again after a summer of sunburn, our class became the haughty sophomores. Remembering their treatment as freshmen, they worked off their long stored-up resentment by giving the in- coming freshies a run for their money. Dis- dainful of the lowly frosh, the sophomores felt pride in themselves. They had good reason to be proud. Had not nineteen of their members made the Honor Scholarship Society? Were not some of the class very able officers of the student body? Several sophomores tried out in the Shakespearean contest and won honor for their class. The next exciting event was the Sports Carnival The faculty bicycle race proved to be hilar- ious. Imagine the sophomore's delight at seeing their dignified teacher speeding around the track, dignity thrown to the winds. And so closed the second year with our class satisfied, and proud of themselves. Ding! Ding! sounded the school bell and our class came back a very dignified group of upperclassmen. They were still represented on the Honor Scholarship, and were drill active in school politics. With a look of pity they sympathized with the little greenhorns who were taking the usual beat- ing from the sophomores, who in turn had had their dose from the now superior juniors. Feeling that they wanted to be represented even more in school athletics, the juniors contributed a few more players for the foot- ball and basketball teams. After the athletic season, the school turned its attention to a new idea which emerged in the form of the Masc-Fem Review. The juniors felt that they ought to participate, so they sent their ablest representatives, who again upheld the class's high standard of achievement. When the final day came, the juniors, knowing that they had worked hard and had won, put aside their books. Now enter the seniors on their last lap. They chose Wayne Bird to lead them as 12B President. A new department called Play Production was made up mostly of low seniors who had a yen for the theatre. Sen- iors, beginning to think of music, sent some of their members to Mr. Smith. Many public speakers sprang up from the 12B class, in fact the Armistice Day program consisted mostly of low seniors. As the fall term drew to an end, the student body election took place. For the last half year the sen- iors, now high and mighty, elected for their class the following officers: Bill Biddick, president, Wayne Bird, vice-president, Tom Eslinger, secretary-treasurer, Rolla Garret- son was elected president of the Student Body, Rowena Satterburg, first vice-presi- dent, Nicolina Fickovich, president of Girls' League. As anyone can see, this class has been active throughout its high school car- eer, and as the three hundred seventy- seven students close their books for the last time in dear old Stockton High, they know that they have done their work well.

FEBRUARY CLASS PLAY CCTHE NEWSPAPER BRIDEH under the di- rection of David Ritchie, was chosen for the Senior Play of the February Class. Those taking part in the play were janet McGinnis, Monroe Langdon, Gail Scheere, Maude Alyce Metcalf, Priscilla Hatch, Howard Thurston, and Lewis Ford. Vandelyn Harper, portrayed by Janet McGinnis, was an artist's model whose pic- ture taken as a bride for a newspaper ad- vertisement caused the ensuing action of the play. A publicity stunt for advertising the play took place when Janet, attired as the Newspaper Bride, and her husband, How- ard Thurston, rushed out of the main build- ing under a shower of rice into a waiting car decorated with large signs showing the bride and advertising the play, and accom- panied by loud horns of following automo- biles was driven about the downtown sec- tion. The High School Orchestra, playing several selections in keeping with the mode of the play, was directed by Virginia L. Short. .s.,.aw..,..wa., .ya J f Above: Stunt Advertising February Senior Play Left: Cast of Newspaper Bride
