At last Wednesday's home basketball game, which Fillmore won 49 to 47 over Santa Paula, Fillmore High School Principal John Wilber, Presented a plaque of appreciation to the Fillmore High Alumni Association for the assistance they have given to the school to help carry on some of the traditions in the 100 year history of the school.

     Singled out was the effort put forth by Marla DeZavala in the improvement of the gym, which consisted of refinishing the floor, repainting the emblem, providing pads at each end of the court, and the dividers placed between the balcony and lower level.  Marla contacted many alumni members to help finance these improvements and she is to be commended for her efforts.  Also provided by the alumni were the two banners in the gym, one with the words to the alma mater and the other with the words to the fight song.  It was rewarding to see so many students at the game singing both songs as they were played by the band.  Another activity being supported by the alumni association is the growing of Shasta Daisies for the graduation arches, which is being carried on by Kirk Ricther and his Horticulture class.  It is hoped that there will be enough flowers available for this year's graduation ceremony, which will be the 100th for this school.
