Senior Notes Another year has passed-and another chapter is added to Tam's book of memories. Therefore, in the brief moment of our departure, let us, the grad- uating class, pause for a moment and recall just what has taken place dur- ing the past four years. In the fall of 1937, old Tamalpais received into its oaken halls a motley array of wide-eyed, very scared Freshman, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the experience of being transformed overnight from important eighth graders to the meanest, most unpromising creatures on God's green earth-High School Freshman. That first year was one of trial and error, in which we learned more practical knowledge than we ever had before. As we recall them now, the outstanding impressions of the year were our of being initiated, and our awe of those self important upper-classmen. With the advent of the next year, as Sophomores, came the thrill of ex- hibiting our wisdom before and lording it over Freshman. We were indeed getting up in the world, and we wanted everyone to know about it. During that year, several of our number began to show promise in vari- ous activities, and, strangely enough, the rumor went through the upper classes that maybe we might have something to offer, after all. Many were skeptical, however, for who could equal the record of those mighty Seniors? And then we were upper-classmen. What a thrill it was to be known as Iuniors! Our days of insignificance were over, and we began to enlarge our spheres of activity to include not only clubs and sports, but politics as well. We began to be recognized as the prospective leaders of the school, and with that recognition came a new feeling of importance and responsibility. The years hadlflown so fast that we were left breathless in the face of our last year at We looked about us and felt the rest of the school depending on us for leadership. We held practically all the positions of im- portance. Under-classmen gazed at us in awe, and our superiors considered us with respect. The world was ours. It was doubtless one of the greatest years of our lives, and instead of looking forward to graduating, we found ourselves unconsciously looking backward, wishing it could last just a little longer. With the prospect of being thrust out into the world on our own came the realization of all that we had gained from Tam, and what it means to us. And so, Tam, Thou of the Sacred Mountain, whose heart cherishes so many fond memories, and in whose wooden halls echo the hopes and fears of such countless numbers, the graduating class of Iune, 1940, Salute Thee!
