li nn 9 Havm N i W' bg SUR PRINCIPAL NE has only to face northward on the Citrus campus to be assured of the appropriateness of the theme 'which La Palma staff of '35 has chosen-- The Mountains. An old Greek philosopher once said that we sometimes get so close to the mountains that we cannot see them. We have all experienced this in climbing mountain trails. Sometimes the old school becomes so familiar that we fail to appreciate its great- ness. Let us never lose sight of the real value of true, every-day frienclsg of the earnest efforts in our behalf of sincere, hardworking teachersg and of the magnanimitv of taxpayers and trustees who have given us Citrus' hall, her grounds, and her equipment. Another sage and philosopher has uttered a great truth in the Psalms. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my helpf' What could be more inspiring than Old Baldyl' and all of its com- panion mountains and hills to the north of us? There we see the ever- changing colors of the seasons, and there the sun from dawn to twi- light paints its various hues. May there ever be mountains in your daily life with an occasional experience that will stand OLIIC as a grand, old mountain peak. And to the stati, in closing, may 1.11 Prllum itself be a mountain that will challenge you to do your best in creative art. --Floyd S. Hayden 14

Sruacizs VICE PRINCIPALS HET1-IER blue-veiled with mist, clean-washed from rain, or roseate in sunset, the mountains from which our strength cometh here at Citrus stand steadfast and strong. Yet because of their habitual pres- ence, we become unconscious of their charm and inspiration, It often takes a prarie-dwelling stranger to rediscover our mountains for us, or perhaps a clear-visioned friend to awaken in us a new appre- ciation of towering grandeur and fresh-scented canyon. Such a friend is the 1935 La Palma, which will not only bring back these lovely mountains to our consciousness for a time, but will recall their beauty from time to time in remote places or here at home, whenever we open our beloved annual for pleasant memory. -Ethel B. Sheldon After a snowstorm in our mountains, one of the most depressing sights is a collapsed mountain cabin. An inspection frequently discloses walls of thinnest sheathing, flimsy underpinning on hastily laid founda- tions, faulty rafters supporting too broad a roof. One point is obvious -the owner had attempted to get too much shelter with an expendi- ture of too little money and less hard labor. One cannot help philosophizing a bit upon viewing such a scene, com- menting, W7ell! What kind of cabin are we building during these constructive years of high-school life? -David W. Sturges 15
