IVE years ago on November 2, 193 3, the first gym committee of Wat- sonville Union High School was established under the advisership of Miss Ruth Paulding for the purpose of representing the Student Body in preliminary planning for the gymnasium. Student Body President Cleon Smith led the committee in beginning the annual gym fund dances, the last of which was held in April, 1 9 3 6. Every year the activity of the gym committee renewed public interest in the great necessity for a high school gymnasium. However, though it was interest, it was not active enough to produce concrete results. Finally on September 17, 1936, the long hoped for gym bond was passed, whereby the taxpayers of the local school district promised to pro- vide 570,000 of the SI26,45S necessary for a new gymnasium. A wild cele- bration of joy-mad high school students rocked the town that night. Hopes gradually slipped down into the old groove again, however, when it became apparent that the federal appropriation necessary to start construction was not immediately forthcoming. For an entire year the matter seemed forgotten. Then a telegram from Congressman McGrath to Mr. MacQuiddy in September, 1937, ended the long, long wait. The ap- propriation had been passed, and our mythical gym was at last to be realized. The new building will be ready for use in September, 1 938. MIIIIIHSIUIII

HE theme of our life, the goal of our day Is the speed of light, the grace of its ray, And the break of the molecule's prisoned power- We hasten the seed to the full blown flower. Our sign is the tear-drop, emblem of sorrow For wreck of the past, of joy for tomorrow, And lives that are lost are meteor dust That sinks in the sea of our billowing trust. We are modern as God in his first creation When he spiraled the stars in swift rotation, When he set the streamlined comets free- For shepherds a midnight mystery. The fishes, the birds, in water, in wind, Without our virtues, have never sinned, Yet taught by the ages, they move secure In curving loops of beauty pure. May time lead men, God's groping race, To power, and speed with safety, and grace. -T. s. MacQUIDDY , 4 A 152.41 . 14,1 of 155 . G, . --ff ,V hm ,I ' 'fin ' f? , ., . I., , -is 2 ' if .
