DEAR STuDENr BoDY Before leaving Valencia we would like to share some of our many experiences wth you. The first thing that comes to mind is our first day at kindergarten Bright and early on the morn- ing of September 1 1942 we the Class of '55, met for the first time There were twenty nine in our class and Miss Martel was our teacher Our trials and tribulations in learning to handle pencil and paper becoming acquainted with our classmates, and in improving our skill 1n reading make those beginning school days ones that will alwiys be re' mcmbered One of our first opportunities to display our presentation of HONEST ABE In the fourth and fifth grades while learning the history of Calif forma we visited the San Gabriel Mission and the Pony Express Museum As sixth graders we were at the hewht of our grammar school days By this time our class had increa ed to fifty one Six years ago today we at- tended our graduation exercises from Bradford Avenue Grammar School As a part of the prof gram vte presented a radio play with Mexico as the setting Those good old days when we d1dn't know vshat homework or detention was are still being recalled It was a big change for us to advance to the junior high level which was 1 part of the high school building Our annual trip to Irvine and our Chnstmas party in the gym dunng our junior high years have left happy memories mth all of us The following year as freshmen we began our high school education We honored the seniors and . , .

The selecting of our attractive lime green class sweaters was the highlight of our sophomore year. Throughout the year we had mixed gym and dance parties. Our Pacific cruise on the S, S. Valencian at the end of the year will long be remembered by many of us. Like all juniors we began working hard to earn money for the juniorfSenior Banquet. XVe got off to a flying start with our Dunk the Dude Booth at the Ag Fair. At Christmas we sponsored a Saint and Sinner's Dance . Later in the year we gave our successful presentation of the three act play NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. Due to these fruitful efforts, our junior year will never be forgotten by us or by the seniors of '54. At the Santa Ana Country Club on May 7, 1954, we honored the seniors with a banquet and dance that surpassed all other such affairs in the history of Valencia High School. Wearing our new class rings, we began our last year at Valencia. The year was packed full of activities. Outstanding among them were our class play I LOVE LUCY, ditch day at Snow Valley, and the presentation of the new senior bench as a memorial by the Class of '55, Today our stay at Valencia ends. Out of our kindergarten class of twentyfnine, thirteen are grad' uating with us plus thirty-three other students who joined our ranks over the past twelve years. We regretfully leave you, the Student Body of Valencia High School, and at this time sincerely wish you Good Luck for the future. CLASS OF '55.
