School History N 1902 the Constitution of the state of California was amended to the effect that high schools should become a part of the state system In 1003 Bonita l'nion High School became a reality. A vacant store building in I.aX'erne served as class rooms at first. ing was the next meeting place for the lburward llall, located at the present site was the first school building, the bonds for whith amounted to thirty thousand dollars, 'I'he seven acres upon I.aX'erne lleights school build- students. which this building was erected was chosen because of its central location. atcessible to the three surrounding towns. Mr. t . .X. Ninth was the first principal and ltr. QI. li. llubble, Lucian 'l'aylor, Ii. ll, Bixby, lfrank .johnson and XV. ll. Nlcllmoil were the first trustees. 'l'he first year there was only one graduate: tfho- nita l'alomares, 'l'he second year there were none and the third year there were six. The total graduates including this yt-ar's seniors will equal 782. In 1908 Mr. Arthur llurward was 'i .-,nf W iid' , ' X V in!

He served this post faith- fully and with exceptional results for twelve years, llis was an important work: that of laying a durable founda- tion. limma L. Hawks was elected to the board of trustees in 1008. She also was an important factor in setting the stand- ard of Bonita on a firm basis. Her experience and clear sightedness in select- ing teachers and carrying out her duties attained much. ln 1021 Principal NVilliam T. Randall was appointed. Since Mr. Randall's ap- pointment Bonita has grown from one building on seven acres, three teachers. and 104 students, to nine buildings on 23 acres, 20 teachers and 350 students. Credit is due to those boys who created our athletic field from a wilderness. llr. George ll. llell became principal this year, 1932. Nile know that he will carry on lionita's standards in a way that will do credit lo the school and to him. 'I'he struggles and hopes and dreams that have gone into the making of llonita l'nion lligh llchool are of interest, to each student. We also have dreams of the future as those along the way have had and we see that as the years go by Bonita will prosper, and grow, and be happy in the fulfillment, of her motto, I Sl'lRVl'1. 2-itil' .

LITERATURE .X PA R.-XBLE HIS is a parable. A parable in which a nation was so wise that it was foolish: a parable in which a man was such a great fool that he possessed all the wisdom of the world. This is a parable in which a nation was so strong that it was weak: a parable in which a man was so weak that. single- handed, he overcame and defeated the most powerful nation on earth. Long ago a kingdom was founded on a little island. 'l'he inhabitants of the kingdom were such a sturdy, healthy, stocky people that the kingdom grew to be very strong. 'l'he power of the little island kingdom gradually spread over the face of the earth. Many nations became subject to the little island kingdom. Une nation conquered by the kingdom was very weak. liecause of this the people in the island kingdom ground them down in poverty and hlth and ignorance, op- pressing them and causing them intense sutfering. But there arose in the weak nation a teacher. He went about teaching his people that the island kingdom had no dominion over themg that they were a free people, and that all they needed to do to be free was to realize that they were free. His own people mocked him. and the people of the island kingdom, because of their great wisdom and strength. called him crazy. But some interested people experimented and found his teaching true. And the knowledge of this spread until the fool had started a great movement. the object of which was to secure political independence from the island kingdom. The movement of the fool met with moderate success. and the kingdom was forced to grant many of his demands. The people of the island kingdom, in their great wisdom, conceived a plan whereby they would seem to be granting certain demands when they really were setting in motion machinery which would cause bitterness and dissension in the ranks of the movement for independence. The fool realized their purpose and said, Rather than comply with your agreement I will cease eating. 'l'he people of the island kingdom were wise. They reasoned that if the fool did not eat he would starve himself to death. Being dead he could no longer bother them or cause them trouble, so they said, Very well, don't eat. But the wise were so foolish they thought the fool would die if he had no food. And the fool was so wise he knew he could not live until he had died, and in his weakness he loosed a terrible force, worlds stronger than his two arms could ever have been, which swept the island kingdom and all its power off the face of the earth.
