The Juniors have been prominent in all student body affairs both this year and last. Bob McDaniel was student body president last year, and Walter Elliott is treasurer this year. The Juniors were well represented in Dramatics, Jane McColloch tak- ing a prominent part in the student body play 3 and virtually every other member of the class took part in one or other of the plays given during the year. In sports We were also very well represented, Bob McDaniel being one of the outstanding members of the football team, and Donald Griffin also a player. Bob also played basketball and baseball. Jane McColloch was captain of the girls' basketball team. Next year when We return as Seniors, we hope to make an even better showing than this, and to have our names go down in the annals of the school as a memorable Senior class.

SENIOR CLASS PROPH EC Y AQ.. It was in the Winter of 1948. I had just returned from a successful musical tour of Africa, where the dark audiences had shown the greatest appreciation of my ability. Arriving over the good old U. S. A. in my Zeppelin, The Bologna, memories of my old school days in Tehachapi came to me. I decided to make that flourishing city a visit. In a few moments the great ship was sailing over the tall and lofty spires of my old home, and the airport was soon reached. The ship being safely moored at the municipal airport, I proceeded to alight and look for a taxi. What was my great surprise on entering the first one at hand to find the driver was none other than my old school chum, Woodrow Farrar. I noticed immediately that his once fiery red hair was becoming quite gray. I found out the reason later, when he took me to his home. On entering the door I found seven bright topped little urchins playing tag under their mother's Cmy old friend Mary Myersj feet. I learned from Woodrow that Violet Azbill had finally succeeded in roping a husband, and that she was happy and contented, now that he had traded his old Model T coupe in on a new Ford. After our evening meal, Woodrow announced that he had a surprise for me. We entered his taxi, and after driving for a while reached our destination, which was a fashionable ibut ah! rather questionablej night club where Bill Downs Know the leading gangster of the townl reigned supreme. We were led to one of the best tables in the house, and told that the evening's entertainment would soon begin. While waiting for the fun to start, we heard a voice at our elbow calling fcigars and cigarettsj. To my astonishment I saw that the voice belonged to none other than my old classmate, Dorothy Yorba. I learned that she had been married quite frequently, and was even now engaged to another old friend of mine, the well known banker and financier, Walter Elliott. After an enjoyable visit with all my old friends, I again took ship, and soon was in New York, where I was to give a concert for the benefit of frogs who had lost their croak. .
