South Pasadena High School - Copa de Oro Yearbook (South Pasadena, CA)

MR. JOHN E. ALMAN, Principal I am impressed each year with the originality of the class in the choice of its theme for the Annual. In the year 1930, the year when the nations are meeting in conferences to establish world peace, how timely the theme, Travel. How easy it should be today to have the peace the world seeks for when we can talk to our neighbors around the world, when transportation has almost annihilated space, and even now they are telling us we will be able, before the year is up, to see our friends face to face as we talk to them on another continent. The people of America are going each year in increasing numbers to Europe, to the Orient, to our Spanish neighbors south of us. just today I was talking to a South Pasadena High School graduate of the Class of 1922 who had returned from Central America, having been down there several years. He said, You know, you learn to like those people when you can talk their language, and after you have lived among them a while you begin to sympathize with them in their ambitions. lf you are friendly with them, they return your friendship. Travel, then, should mean more friendly relations between nations, because we learn to know them face to face. But how careful we should be when traveling to exemplify only the best that is in us and.in our country. We are ambassadors of either good will or ill will, depending upon our attitudes and actions. Lindberg was an ambassador of good will because of his friendliness and modesty. He exemplified the best in American young manhood, and the best in the people of France and Latin America was given him. Travel, then, whenever and wherever you can, but remember you are ambassadors of your home city, your state, and your country. V- Sincerely, JOHN E. ALMAN. Page Fourteen

ii TO THE GRADUATION CLASS OF 1930 You have reached another mile-stone in your edu- cational journey and are no doubt very happy over the prospects of embarking upon another leap in life's pilgrimage. Some of you will take further excursions into the fields of learning and training, some of you will actually travel afar, perhaps abroad, in search of a knowledge of lands and peoples, others will do neither of the aboveg but, still, travel you must, if you would make progress, for you cannot stand still 4.1-.-.l+ in this advancing civilization. You either go forward or backward. MR'GE0'fGE CRUSH You would not be true to the ideals of our High s1lIVL'l'l7lfL'7ldt?7lf School if you were not ambitious to go forward. The fact that you have chosen Travel as the theme of this year-book indicates your forward-looking policy. Travel of a purposeful kind is a wonderful experienceg but, like your journey through High School, it may or may not contribute greatly to your future success or happiness. You will get from travel as with other things just in proportion to what you put into it. As the Spanish proverb says, He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him. So, says Dr. Johnson, it is in travelling. A man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge. A visit to Rome, the cradle of most of our civilization, will simply thrill one who is familiar with its story. Others will see and remember onlv ruins, hotels, and strange foods. Travel in any field is profitable or even interesting only when one has a background or foundation knowledge of the field to be explored. The masterpieces of art of Europe yield most to those who know most of art. A course in the field of aeronautics yields most to those who have already travelled in the fields of sciences and mathematics. The best travellers are those with many interests, those who know and enjoy history, architecture, music, art, nature, and peoples. Wherever they are, they find something of interest and enjoyment. This same thing is true of life in general. I sincerely hope you will find your further journey along life's highway one of many interests, enjoyment, and profit. ' GEORGE C. BUSH Board of Education Superintendent Very sincerely, MR. F. W. HEATH Mas. W. W. WILSON MR. G. A. Hoovsn
