FOKKWORD The staff of 1925 takes great pleasure in presenting to the student body of the Fullerton Union High School this issue of the Annual Pleiades. In our endeavor to present the various happenings of the past vear. we have not aspired to produce a faultless volume: but we have hoped to please every reader by accentuating the spirit and atmosphere of high school life. The staff takes this opportunity to express their appreciation to the following persons for their aid and advice during the past year: to Mr. DeVries, who has given valuable aid to our business managers; to Miss Hinkle and Miss Easton of the art department, who have acted as our art advisors: and to Mrs. Stuelke. with- out whose interest and assistance we could not have published this book. We also wish to thank Mr. Whitfield, our photographer: Mr. Alexander of the Long Beach Engraving Companv: and Mr. Rose of the Bert Rose Publishing Company.

Committees are seeking to li ( liool graduates are entering colleges fiisf lii ' shman classes is becoming one authorities of our schools for higher it the number of students received by questioning the applicants as to their purposes in life. None but those whose pur- poses are high and serious are desired. Indeed one distinguished college president in Southern California said lately that it is doing a positive injury to many young people to encourage them to go to college. High school students ought to ask themsehes this questi in: W hv do ui- uani to go to college? Do we want an education, or do we just want to go to roUegc ' r ' A few weeks ago we heard a student in one of our Southern California colleges speak to a large company of high school boys on this subject: The kick we get out of college. He spoke almost exchisively of the kick to be gotten out of athletics and the social life of the lu(lrnl . Nothing was said of the fine game of getting an education. We suspect tiial allilrlic - lias an undue influence over the prospective college students. Perhaps students would listen to Theodore Roosevelt on this sub- ject as to no other man. Addressing students of Cambridge University he said: Sport is a fine thing as a pastime: but it is a very poor business if it is permitted to become the one serious occupation of life. President Roosevelt wrote this to one of his sons: I am delighted to have you play football. I believe in rough manly sports, but I do not believe in them if they degenerate into the sole end of any one ' s existence. I don ' t want you to sacrifice standing well in your studies to any over athleticism, and I need not tell you that character counts more than either in- tellect or bodv in winning success in life. Athletic proficiency is a mighty good serxant. and. like so nianv oilier good servants, a miglilx bad master. I ' rospe.tiNe roll. what really counts ii first things first. Let in major things.
