Senior Aye Song
(To the Tune of " 'Till Then")
Farewell to three years spent here with you.
Farewell to all the fun that we knew.
We leave, and yet our thoughts linger on -
As does our song.
Goodbye to friends and teachers we've had,
Goodbye, and though it may make us sad,
We know the time has come now to go -
We'll miss you so.
These three years of high school have sped by,
Yet much is there to be done.
And so we must give to other hands
The tasks that remain, and also the fun.
Farewell, though oceans keep us apart,
Still hold your thoughts of us in your heart.
Someday, perhaps we'll meet once agaIn;
Farewell, 'till then.
Sheila Fox

Senior Vanguards Laud
Sponsor, Mrs. Evans
How would you like to be a mother, teacher, confidante, advisor, and nursemaid to 400 or more Senior Ayes, twice a year? This is the job so willingly and ably filled by Mrs. Edna Evans, who has been all these things and more to 486 high-spirited Vanguards this past term.
Mrs. Evans, who is fast becoming an almost legendary figure in North Hollywood's annals, has taught Senior problems for over eight years. She not only has her class routine down to an exact science, but she has developed an extensive knowledge and understanding of the workings of a l7-year-old mind. Mrs. Evans has three children of her own, and her frank class-room discussions of family and social problems have helped many a Senior Aye to make better adjustments to his surroundings and to lead a happier life.
Administrative Job Hard
Besides dealing with numerous personal difficulties, Mrs. Evans supervises the many activities planned and carried out by the Senior Aye class. It is a well-known fact that one's senior year-while usually the most difficult-is also full of fun and extra-curricular outings. During the course of a semester, Mrs. Evans comes into personal contact with al- most every graduate. She works hand in hand with the council, and long lines of applicants on registration day bear witness to the fact that her classes are always crowded. She takes a personal interest in her students, and many of them find it hard to leave such a truly wonderful friend.
In saying goodbye, one senior expressed the views of many of the Vanguards when he said, "She makes a classroom seem like home, and the world seem like a friendly place in which to 1ive ...I never knew anyone who didn't like Mrs. Evans, and if I had, I'd have been sure I was dreaming."
