Frank Tatum Rose Surtseri Betty Browne Larry Bradley We, the youth of Los Angeles, salute the memory of our forefathers whose iniiu- ences are the very standards upon which our school is founded and who saw the birth of the ideals for which it stands. We, the Class of S'38, are like a driving force that is rapidly moving ahead in an effort to realize those ideals and perpetuate those tra- ditions. The rich gifts we have inherited give us the coniidence and inspiration to go forward. . May I now extend to all of you, my friends in the Student Body, deepest apprecia- tion for the splendid co-operation and spirit of enthusiasm you have given to me? In closing, I sincerely say Thank you, for you have made it possible for me to realize the greatest ambition in my life. Sincerely, ROSE SUNSERI Girls' division president The youth of today is faced with rapidly changing economic conditions, and so must play a vital part in the readjustment to this new era. Now, every democratic form of government is being put to a severe test. Elsewhere, other forms of govern- ment, brought about by conditions within the countries themselves, have come into existence. It is my belief that the corrections of the existing maladjustments of con- ditions within our own borders are gradually being made, and that the efforts of the present generation will enable democracy to resume a normal course. How youth will meet these problems remains to be seeng but I, for one, believe that the members of the younger generation with the spirit of their forefathers will arise to meet the problems of today. Sincerely, LARRY BRADLEY Boys' division president Student government is the heritage of the youth of L. A. H. S.g and it has been a predominant factor in making this school the institution it is recognized to be today. In this age, when democracy is fast disappearing from the face of the globe, we should feel a keen sense of gratitude to those educators who made student democracy possi- ble at L. A. High. Our heritage becomes a responsibility that rests with us, the stu- dents. If we want this present method of government to survive, continued co-operation and support are necessary. Thank you, my friends, and may you lend your nne spirit to all future oflicers. Sincerely, BETTY BROWNE Girls' Senior Board president The theme of S'38, the Heritage of Youth, is one about which we could write volumes and still not compass all of its important issues. It is not suiiicient to say that our heritage is a golden opportunity. We must add that ours will be the problems left unsolved by those who have gone before us. These problems constitute a chal- lenge which we must answer not only with eagerness and confidence, but also with a stubborn determination to succeed where others have failed. The time has come to say farewell to my friends here at L. A. I can only hope that on the long pathway of life we may often meet and recall the happy years brought to so abrupt an end by graduation in S'38. Sincerely, FRANK TATUM Boys' Senior Board president

STU DE T EXECUTIVES MESSAGES to Dick Fuller, Student Body president The Heritage of the Youth of Los Angeles! What a wonderful and appropriate theme of our term's work and our Semi-Annual! The youth of Los Angeles does have a wonderful heritage, but for what are we going to use it? Shall we employ it to real- ize even more the visions of our city's founders and to create even better ideals of civic government and community happiness? Or shall we accept our heritage as a matter-of-fact affair which we are merely fortunate in having presented to us and make for ourselves a community in whose foundation lies our own selfish interest? Already efforts have been advanced to overcome evils of our civic governmentg and we, who have been acquainted with the students of Los Angeles High School, have every reason to believe that the graduates of our school will progress along the same lines and promote the culture and ideals of Los Angeles. We have made friends here with eo le w shall l - - ' p p e aways be pioud to know, people who are accepting our fine heritage with open eyes and open minds, people who are going to be the leaders in the future greatness of our city, Los Angeles. Southern California is unusually endowed by rich, natural resources, many of which have probably never been discovered. We have grown so accustomed to our riches that we often do not realize how fortunate we are really. We owe to our predecessors our deepest appreciation for their additions of science, culture, and education to Cal- ifornia and to posterity. We, the youth of Los Angeles, accept our heritage and its accompanying chal- lenge to create, to progress, to discover our latent resourcesg and, confident in our endeavors, yet humble before the superior efforts of our city's founders, we will do everything in our power to make this city truly deserve its name. Sincerely, DICK FULLER STUDE T BUDY
