WILLIAM T. RANDALL For many years, as chief executive of our institution, XVilliam T. Randall proved his loyalty and staunchness to Bonita. From the time he assumed principalship in 1921 until his resignation in 1932 his accomplish- ments were ever progressive. His achieve- ments in the development of Bonita may be considered the worthiest memorial to his memory. --Mamie I-IERLIHY MEMORIAM

is DEDIC TION Sportsmanship on the Held is one of the greatest prizes a team can possibly possess. Bonita has not only won athletic contests, but has become known for a superior qual- ity of good sportsmanship. Both have been achieved through the constant endeavor of Mr. john C. Price. For this great work, therefore, we, the 1936 annual staff, dedi- cate to him this volume of the Bonita Echoes. -DONALD HAEI-'ER

Vt W? ft, ,wha H. jlzkiw Vooixms American life is far more deeply rooted in the soil of democracy than appears upon the surface. Glib talk about how democ- racy has failed and will shortly be super- ceded by some other form of government reveals a failure to understand that the habits of a great people, developed through centuries, are not easily destroyed. The fu- ture of America, therefore, lies either in a chaos of despair or in a regeneration of true democracy and an extension of it into new fields of national life. It matters little whether the average cit- izen of a nation under dictatorship is truly educated or not. Indeed, from the stand- point of its own preservation, dictatorial government should prefer an ignorant to an educated people. Not so in a democracy, where the citizen himself islthe final court of all appeal and the principal source of progress. To a democracy, an uneducated citizenry means the rule of political bosses,', corruption in high places, stagnation of industrial and social life. and ultimately death. TROD
