My name is Kometa and I'm a cat -- a real gone cat!  I have just returned to San Diego after 20 years an I'm dying to see how the class of '53 has done in the world.

On the P.-T.A. are housewives, Mercedes Gonzalez, Sylvia Graham, Joanne Hopkins, Darlene Jones, Doris Milligan and Mary Robinson. They are planning to have Jay Hudson construct special escalators, designed by Larry Echlin, to travel around school faster.

   The new Community Building, designed by architects Vallory Harrison and Don Harger, is now under the direction of Recreational Advisers Fermin Mejia, Bob Russell and Bob Meals. Due to the size of the city of Linda Vista, Mary Mundell, Minnie Peck and Erline Rice have erected a Street Information Bureau to take the pressure off the Lost and Found Department which is operated by Edward McLeod and Sam Mankins. Managing the bowling alley are Edward Bilyeu and Ruth Conklin who spend their time re- pairing the alleys after Elissa Alter, Pat Ashburn, Alice Barnes, and Ruth Cole practice.

her lifeguard, Pauline Mora is writing a book
