ix EHUFPHIHYD In presenting this, the irst Crimson and Blue, the purpose has been to portray life' at the Garfield High School from the viewpoint of every student. An effort has been made to give proper consideration to every in- terest, to the exclusion or over-emphasis of none.

Grvrtingn frnm the igrinripalz Garfield High School opened its doors to boys and girls for the first time in September, 1925. This is only ten months in the past! It is fitting, then, that we have some permanent record of the activities and achievements of the students and faculty who have had such an important part in making Garfield High School what it is today. Therefore, this book our, first CRIMSON AND BLUE, is made. We have builded standards, ideals, and traditions that are a part of each of us-never to be cast aside. And, for the material things we cherish, this book will keep a faithful record. Life and achievement for those of us here at Garfield this year, have centered around the ideals of SERVICE, COURTESY, GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, WORK, SACRIFICE, and COOPERATION. In these ideals will be found the key to understanding all that has been done. To the continued growth of these ideals each may pledge his loyalty! May these ideals go with each of us in achievement wherever he may be. And may Garfield High School grow finer and stronger in each succeeding year! Sincerely, ROSCO CHANDLER INGALLS. In this our first year at Garfield, we have had many handicaps. It is gratify- ing to note the number of pupils who have overcome these handicaps and really achieved. You have learned the joy of service and have set a high standard of loyalty, good sportsmanship, and fair play which future students will he proud to live up to. You are pioneers and leaders. A leader must stand steadier, feel deeper and see farther than his companions and be willing to go on alone. ALICE REITERMAN. Vice-Principal. Every great school has traditions to which its members point with pride. These traditions serve as powerful influences to both faculty and student body. The students in Garfield High School have had a rare opportunity, in this hrst year, to assist in building a fine programme of service and achievement. We point with pride to our future rather than our past. It has been a real joy to see so many of our students eager to contribute their part to this growing spirit of service, achievement, and good sportsmanship. I sincerely hope that each boy and girl now in our student body may have the satisfaction in years to come of feeling that they have given something to make this school more nearly their ideal.
