BALBOA JOURNAL junef1930 ALBOA has witnessed a notable series of changes and developments since this journal was last published, not only in physical growth and adjustment, but in the school life and school consciousness as a whole, r The evidences of having worked and i walked together for an extended time in the common effort to improve our lives and to prepare for the future are showing them- selves now more clearly than they did a year ago. Self-confidence in competition with other schools, loyalty to Balboa, better rela- tionships among ourselves, that is, citizen- ship, and more serious class-room work are most encouraging signs that some of the les- sons we have been learning here are bearing fruit. Of the physical additions, the new shops and drawing rooms came first, enabling the boys to have a wider choice of subjects, but the greatest improve- ment was that of the line new gymnasium and cafeteria which were opened at the beginning of this term, so doing away with the hampering conditions pre- vailing since we first started school. We are fortunate that the facilities have been added almost as fast as our population has demanded. It would be impossible to think of getting on with- out them when our numbers are 1500 or over. And we are especially fortunate that they are so beautiful and perfect in detail. Our athletic field, modern in every appointment, must be mentioned here, for surely that will play an important part in Balboa history. The beginning of the junior or upper division year with all the courses be- longing there, such as United States history, chemistry, advanced language, new English work and algebra theory, is a pleasant mark of progress and reminds us that soon we shall be a full fledged senior high school. It is expected, besides an oral expression class, that one will be formed next term which will be responsible for the publishing of this Journal. The whole school feels very grateful to those who have been in charge of this edi- tion of the Balboa Journal and have done so splendidly with it. I would express my appreciation to all the faculty and students for their whole hearted work of the past year which this annual will attempt partly to portray. Eight f . if 9 we J
