TRIBUTES It is a distinct pleasure to add my word of appreciation to the many tributes being voiced in honor of Mr. Oliver, the retiring principal of the Los Angeles High School.- No former principal has had quite the opportunity granted to him of contributing effectively to the upbuilding of that great school, largely because he was educated in that school, served there as teacher, vice-principal of boys, and then in the passing of Mr. Housh, he accepted the principalship. The school has richly profited by these two long regimes under men of similar views on high school education and administrative policies. After graduation from the University of California at Berkeley, Mr. Oliver very wisely took up educational work in the Philippine Islands which proved to be a contin- uation of his own education in a different kind of world. During the World VVar, he served for a period as guide and helper to men in Camp Lewis. Mr. Oliver has been distinguished for his sympathetic understanding of the 'flong, long thoughts and ideals of youth and for his very great effort to plan activities to fur- ther the realization of their physical well-being and their mental wholesomeness. He may retire with the happy consciousness of having done a fine man's work for the youth of his country, his city, and his very own school. He will retire not to ease, for such as Mr. Oliver do not desire or seek ease, he will still seek the keen joy of hav- ing a real part somewhere in the world's work. SUSAN DORSEY Former teacher of Latin, head of the language department and girls' vice-principal of Los Angeles High School, former assistant-superintendent and superintendent of schools, Los Angeles, California. The United States can boast no high school with finer traditions than those of the Los Angeles High School. Few schools have as fine traditions. The traditions and the spirit of the school and the contribution to the lives of Los Angeles High School pupils have been born of the sacrifices, the gifts, and the great works of men and women. Ernest W. Oliver, Principal, has made an extraordinary contribution to the life his- tory of the school. His dynamic, practical righteousness, his influential leadership, his patient, vigorous, and kindly personality, and his sympathetic policy of administrative guidance are among the greatest of his contributions to education in this city and to Los Angeles High School. As Mr. Oliver notes these expressions. we all express the hope for great happiness during many years ahead. We extend words of congratulation upon his success. In simple words and modest manner, for myself and for many others in our schools who are his true, admiring friends, I would have him receive a Thank you, Mr. Oliver, for all you've meant to me. I know you as one of my best and understanding friends. VIERLING KERSEY V Superintendent of schools, Los Angeles, California. Appreciation No good work ever ends. The one who lays Aside with years the heavy tools of care Knows that his hands have helped to hew the stair That slowly spirals higher, above the maze Of hatred'g feverish heat, of somber days Dark with spent blood, into the purer air Of mountain summits cool with healing. There In God's own season, other hands shall raise The templed dome of peace. What is the word His deeds have spoken? What have we heard, Re-echoing still with deepening power to bless? Good friends, let love abide. We cannot make Bricks for the temple without kindlinessf' SNOW LONGLEY HOUSH Fellow-student, alumna, and member of the Faculty, Los Angeles High School, , 'W
