Our Faculty 'PHE year is almost over-only one week remains for the grad- uating class of 1916. VVe are saying farewell to the life and the old haunts we have known and loved for four years, to the class- mates with whom we, have spent many happy hours, and to the faculty with whom We have worked and who have been as friends and comrades to us. We, who are about to say goodbye, have come to realize what staunch friends we have had for four years in our loved, honored, and long-suffering teachers. How our consciences twinge at the recollection of our complaints, fault-findings, and short-comings! Now that we have the larger vision, we begin to understand and appreciate what has sometimes seemed an over-lengthy task assigned or an unjustly severe reproof given by wiser heads than ours as a trial of our strength or as a spur to the best in us--if we had any best. Senior classes come and go, but our inspiring faculty stay on- always welcoming the little stranger freshmen, as if each latest class alone was to become the best ever. And who shall dare to deny that each Senior class which has been welcomed, moulded, trained, disciplined, instructed, and inspired is not a little better and fewer than any preceding one? Our teachers must maintain the standard of all past classes, and as without progression there is retrogression, so it must be that each year the finished product of their devoted labor must surpass in quality all that has gone before -lest there be hints of failing faculty. Many of us have known them as comrades as well as guidesg as friends and companions. We have come to know them as men and women who are youthful at heart and ready for fun. Behind their reserve and dignity as the faculty, there is fun-loving fellow- ship, and those students who have been able to penetrate this- it was not a hard task-have been rewarded in many ways. When our escapades were serious or when we needed fatherly advice, Principal Cross was willing to help us, and to him we went Could you, gentle reader, hear the woes of so many Seniors, and yet remain cheerful, and retain your jovial laugh? We doubt it! Everyone knows that the fame of Pasadena and its High School spreads from ocean to ocean. And what is the school but the faculty? The two are synonymous. Hail and farewell, and long continued success to those who have been our guides, and friends-our faculty!
