Selected for Top Senior Honors Barbara Barfoot was chosen as valedictorian of the class of '49 at Anaheim high school and Celia Hamilton as salutatorian when they were given the highest senior class honors recently. The valedictorian and the salutatorian were chosen by members of the faculty and administration on the basis of past scholastic and citizenship records and on their grade points. The grade points are awarded as follows: three points for an A, two points for a B, one point for a C, and no points for D's and F's. High Standings Both girls are members of the Honor Society and both are gold seal bearers, which means that they have maintained a perfect merit record for all four years. Honor society members are given their gold seal on their diplomas for six semesters on the Honor society. Barbara is art editor for the 1949 Colonist yearbook. The valedictorian who ranks the highest in scholarship will give the farewell from the senior class while the salutatorian will be given the task of welcoming the audience to the school. Students Visit Redlands Campus Thirteen students from Anaheim high attended the Redlands Uni- 29th Birthday For "Anoranco" The Anaheim high school newspaper publication, the Anoranco, celebrated its 29th birthday as a printed newspaper, Saturday, March 19. Three years previous to 1920 the Anoranco was but a mimeographed page. Not until 1920 did the Anoranco appear as a printed matter. The Anoranco's birthday marks something that has virtually grown up with the school itself. When one says "grown up with the school" he probably does not fully realize the truth of the statement, for the Anoranco has indeed "grown up" not only in size, but in many other ways. The progress of the Anoranco is remarkable. The first published Anoroco appeared on March 19, 1920. It was only 10 inches high and four columns wide. But by 1925, just five years after its birth as a printed newspaper, without the name Anoroco printed across the top of the front page one could never tell that it was he same newspaper. The Anoroco is now and will remain so long as he school exists, a part of every student's happy and cherished memories of his high school years. It has also been a cherished memory of those who worked through the ups and downs of meeting deadlines and the "fun" they had when they saw their publication each week. Nominate Senior Class Speaker Nominations for the senior class speaker were held at the senior class meeting in the high school auditorium, March 15. Those nominated for class speaker were Ralph Jung, Jack Johannes, Terry Kilduff, Richard Hoffmann, Dolores Sehr, and Cornell Gray.

Visitors to the Garden should remember that it is primarily devoted to the study of California native plants for their botanical, horticultural and useful features. Every effort has been made during the years since the Garden was founded to bring together and grow as large a percentage of the native flora as possible. However, the plantings in no sense of the word comprise a park for recreational purposes, but are maintained in order that botahists, horticulturists and the interested public may familiarize themselves with the native flora of California gathered from remote as well as nearby areas of the state. A pamphlet giving detailed information with a map of the Garden and showing the best routes by which to reach it is available upon request.
