WE, THE CLASS OF '43, entering Tustin Union High School with a smaller enrollment than usual for freshmen, have striven to uphold the tra ditions of former classes. At the freshman initiation we were defeated in the sack rush by the sopho- mores, but we took it in our stride. In our sophomore year we really entered into the spirit of Tustin Union High School by presenting the Sophomore Variety Show. Composed of two one- act plays, music and dancing. It was well received by the audience. As Juniors we showed our acting ability by pre- senting an amusing and entertaining play, Love and Aspirin , which was outstanding in the fact that it was written by Miss Borum and Norman Mennes, class of 1935. We were guests of the seniors at the traditional May Breakfast held in the cafeteria and were sorry not to be able to be hosts to the seniors at the an- nual Iunior-Senior Banquet. Our first act of the last year of high school life was to initiate the freshman properly. Since the money was not spent for the Junior- Senior Banquet, being generous, we gave one hun- dred and fifty dollars to the school to buy football pants for the boys and gave an additional fifty dol- lars to buy equipment for the girls' gym. For the first time in our high school, a small group of us Seniors, outstanding in speech and oral work, joined the nationally known high school so- ciety, Masque and Gavel. Through this society many good assemblies were brought before the student body that otherwise would have not been presented. The event of the Senior Ditch Day was unusual this year. Lack of transportation hindered ditching as a group; so each senior just took the day off to do as he pleased. In May we were hosts to the Juniors at the May Breakfast. Our timely theme, the victory gar- den, was cleverly carried out with scarecrows, straw hats filled with spring flowers, seed pack- ages, and vegetables. With good food, speeches, songs, and dances the May Breakfast will be a gala occasion long to be remembered. In the last week of June, boys in dress suits and girls in flowing formals were royally enter- tained at the annual Itinior-Senior Banquet. The juniors, who had worked long and hard in the preparation of the event, succeeded in presenting us with a memorably enjoyable evening. Out of our small class two students, Uretta Latham and Edward Burrter, have obtaned Lite membership in the California Scholarship Federa- tion. The class of '43 has undergone hardships this past year, but has borne them honorably and pa- triotically. Seven seniors have left to go into the service of their country. These seniors are Richard Park, Charles Hillmcm, Denny Hayden, Bob Pollard, Paul Etzold, Bob Wolfe! and Perry Cook. Most of the boys that are left are in reserve and will leave very soon. Now that we have reached our goal of, gradu- ation, we are facing a world of conflict but we are not afraid, for the class of '43 has plenty of tight. We are challenged and we shall accept this challenge with courage and tolerance to make the world a better place to- live in.-
