MOVE-UP

One of Balboa's most memorable traditions, occurring twice a year before graduation, is that which is called Move-Up,a tradition started in 1929. Here is an account of the action which occurred at the Spring Class of 67's Move-Up.

The Graduating Seniors were seated on
stage in the usual "Cap and Gown"
attire. Our principal Mr. Kauer said he'd
like to welcome in the new class of Spring
'67. The high'n'mighties, with guys holler-
ing, and girls screaming, came running
down the aisle like a herd of buffalos. The
seniors filed into their new seats, singing
the traditional Senior Song. In the midst
of the assembly, a trumpet was sounded,
and a special committee presented the
outgoing class with a 70 foot garland.
Following the presentation of the garland,
the Galleon, symbol of leadership, was
raised into the air by the High'n'Mighties
new president. Bill Magidson. Within the
next few minutes. Bill Magidson and Linda
Federighi presented several leis to outgo-
ing S.A. officers. Next, the overwhelming
spirit of the new high'n'mighties was
shown, when they sang several songs.
Near the end of the assembly, several
scholarships were granted in addition to
several trophies. The assembly finally
came to an end with the high'n'mighties
singing the traditional senior song once
again.  (MORE on Next Page)
