Q. 1 BILL ORTEGA DON CORRIGAN JEANNE SHARPE FRED STORM President Vice President Secretary Treasurer S35 CLASS OFFICERS THE CRUISE -OF THE GOOD SHIP S'35 ln the memorable month of September, 1929, 365 grammar school admirals prepared to sail on the sea of Venice High School for a fling at fame and fortune, Let the editor take the readers through the years and give you a log of the good ship S'35, -and a tale of its crew. September, 1929 to june, 1932: The two years were spent in preparing for a stormy but pleasant journey. New acquaintances were made, new interests gained, and little by lit- tle, the mass became separated into individuals with different interests and ambitions. September, 1932: ln this year a metamorphosis was completed. The members of the class were now distinct characters in the life of the school. Men like Don Owens, Frankie Gravante, Dud Liles, Bob Polk, Carl Brooks, Woodrow Haskins, Ben Bilger, and others be- came point-winning athletes, while Art Gottlieb, Marjorie Balter, june Gleason, joe Toyo- shima, and lerv jones represented the class in scholarship. September, 1933 to March 10, 1933: The class of S'35 was again ready to add honor to its name when the disastrous earthquake came to ruin its buildings. March 25 to june, 1934: The class of S'35 came back to find an education in tents and bungalows, and it was then it showed its true colors by sticking to the ailing ship and today has brought it safely into port. September, 1934: At last they were Seniors. Approximately 150 out of the original 365 had stayed with the ship, and after five years, were eager to finish the journey. The crew was divided into two divisions, in charge of Mrs. Morrison and Mr. Fordham, and offi- cers were chosen to govern each division. Frank Gravante and Don Murchison were chosen captains, lean Crocker and jane Riley acted as first mates, and Art Gottlieb and Fred Storm served as pursers. For 15 weeks the divisions had separate interests and activities, and' then came the change. The S'35 class became a unit at last. The choice of colors to be flown into port was blue and white. Miscellaneous business was taken up, and thus ended the first half of the last year of the cruise. February 4, 1935: Port was but a short nineteen weeks away, and with this thought in mind, officers were elected to steer through the most hazardous part of the trip. Bill Ortega was chosen captain, Don Corrigan, first mate, leanne Sharpe, scribe, and Fred Storm, purser. Although they passed through dangerous waters, the joy and pleasure of their last banquet and dance was not dimmed. june 19, 1935: Port was reached at last, and amid salutes and cheers, they landed, prepared to go on the longer and more adventurous journey of life.
