EXECUTIVE PERSONNEL The Year in Review The evenTs recorded in This book are Those oT pioneers: pioneers who have promoTed a series oT acTiviTies during The TirsT year oT compleTe auTonomy Tor The Long Beach Junior College. While This is noT The TirsT year oT exisTence Tor The school, iT is The TirsT year The school has been compleTely and deTiniTely separaTed Trom any oTher school in our ciTy sysTem. The Theme oT This book is The Missions , a rnosT TiTTing one, because The Missions represenT The work oT pioneers. These greaT church cenTers were esTablished more Than one hundred and TiTTy years ago wiTh The ThoughT in mind ThaT They mighT civilize and chrisTianize The savages who dwelT on This land. IT was also believed ThaT These Missions would win a new counTry Tor The Spaniards. ScaTTered Trom San Diego norTh- ward To San Francisco The remnan'Ts oT These Missions may be seen in various localiTies Today: monumenTs To a socieTy. a culTure and a civilizaTion, The inTluence oT which is TelT even To This day. WiTh This hisTorica! ' background in mind leT us noTe The work oT pioneers. Vxfe should remember ThaT regardless oT The Time or place oT acTion, pioneers all have common characTerisTics. These characTerisTics are a spiriT ThaT drives, a purpose ThaT is worThy, and accomplishmenTs ThaT are lasTing. l.eT us examine our own condi- Tions and noTe how well our school measures up To These ideals. ThroughouT The pages oT This book is The wriT- Ten and picTorial record oT The spiriT oT our school. No insTiTuTion or organizaTion oT any sorT whaTsoever could carry on and do The Things ThaT have been accomplished by our school wiTh- ouT a True and consecraTed school spiriT. Even aTTer our school was compleTely disabled by The disasTer oT March IO iT carried on soon aTTer, in every acTiviTy, in The Tace oT almosT insur- mounTable odds. As The pioneers oT Mission days Taced hunger, pesTilence and Toreign ene- mies buT carried on To a glorious accomplish- menT, so has our school been able To do greaT Things during The pasT year. The SpiriT oT The MR. LOUNSBURY ' Long Beach Junior College has inspired us all wiTh The desire To accomplish greaT Things Tor Those who have been iTs consTiTuenTs. Again, if we scan The pages oT This book we can see in every acTiviTy The True purpose oT our school. ThaT is a characTerisTic oT The work oT pioneers. The purpose oT our school is noT narrow buT broad. The Missions broughT To The naTives here religion, culTure, and reTinemenT. Our school oTTers scholasTic achievemenT, social environmenT and a varieTy OT acTiviTy ThaT lends iTselT To The developmenT oT a well rounded liTe. We should noT consider TirsT knowledge alone, buT exTended knowledge. We believe ThaT iT is The righT and privilege oT every young man and woman To have and enioy ThaT educaTional Train- ing he can enioy and use proTiTably. lT is impossible aT This Time To Tell The exTenT oT The inTlu- ence oT This year's work on The years To Tollow. There is no quesTion buT ThaT iT will be greaT. Many . oT The pracTices and procedures begun This year will conTinue as our school progresses. There is no doubT buT ThaT The desire and deTerminaTion To carry on and To build a greaT insTiTuTion oT earning will conTinue. The same high sTandards oT accomplishmenT will always mark our eTTorTs. Again may l remind you ThaT This year's work like ThaT oT our Missions has been The work oT pioneers. LeT us remember ThaT The spiriT oT The year and The purpose oT our work is oT lasT- ing imporTance To The TuTure welTare oT our school. l Tirmly believe ThaT we can TruThTully say ThaT we have builT well on a solid ToundaTion. May This year's work and This book be an in- spiraTion in The years ThaT Tollow as The Missions have To The people oT our greaT commonwealTh. yusffes T241
