Our school has an en- viable scholastic record, is famed for its athletic prowess, and is recognized for the accomplishments of its students and their activities. We can well be proud of our school. It is built on a solid foundation. Its tradi- tions and ideals are splendid. It is renowned from coast to coast because of its standing and because of the attainments of the alumni. May each of us, in the years to come, add our bit to the honor and prestige of Coronado High School. Robert C. Titus, Superintendent m Wr. WicLeL dminid tra lion As the 1 945 yearbook, The Beachcomber, nears completion I find great pleasure in looking back over the past four years that you seniors have spent at Coronado High School. You have set a fine example of scholastic achievement, student leadership, athletic prowess and good sportsmanship. Long will I remember the weiner bakes at North Beach, the football rallies, the carnival, the Hi Jinx, the Saturday night Swingster ' s dances and all the pleasant hours we have spent in classes together. We the faculty and administration sincerely hope that we have done our best to make your lives as full of happiness and success as possible. It has been a true and lasting pleasure to have worked with you as your Principal, Teacher, adviser and friend. David R. Michaels, Principal.

With thse ideals in view I believe it my duty as a member of the Coronado hiigh School: 1. To regard my enrollment as a student, a valued privilege. 2. To consider it my obligation to take advantage of my school oppor- tunities and thus obtain as much knowledge as is in my power to acquire. 3. To take as my aim the building of a strong character and the de- veloping of a personality that will command the respect and affec- tion of my friends and associates. 4. To prove a good loser, but may I have always the will to win. 5. To do only that which is legitimate and ethical, and enjoy only those honors of which I am worthy. 6. To set myself as an example to those about me as one who is am- bitious, efficient, trustworthy and considerate of the rights of others, that they may find it profitable and conducive to happiness. 7. To respect the faculty, obey the laws of the school, cooperate in all the activities undertaken, be loyal to its teams, and prepared at all times to do willingly, and to the best of my ability, whatever there is to be done. 8. Lastly, realizing that he profits most who serves best, I pledge my- self a sa loyal servant to my school and its activities with ALL my strength, with ALL my mind, and ALL my heart.
