TIES OF STEEL There was one of the courageous little band of men which first came to San Francisco Bay exploring for a place to build a town who said to himself, as his diary proves to us: Some day one of the World ' s greatest cities shall rise round this bay. He stood near the Golden Gate as he said this. Next day the party set out to explore the land across the bay — the Contra Costa they called it. After three and a half days of steady travel, they encamped near the Berkeley hills. Today one can come from where these words were spoken over to the Berkeley hills in half an hour — so terrific is the economy of modern times. Then, a good day ' s travel was fifty miles or less — today, five hundred, a thousand, two thousand. The Contra Costa and the cliff where Anza stood are one today; made so by a giant ' s steel string which holds a roadway up, and in between the two glitters an island fairyland. What would they say could they but see the town they dreamed — arisen there before their eyes and glistening about the bay! And arching there above the blue water, a league-long road of steel.

A SCRUB 99 We scrubs have enjoyed this first semester of ours at Garfield. It has been a new experience for all of us, and the time has passed too quickly. Many new friends have been made, new experiences en- countered, and new things to do have kept us busy and interested. It has been an enjoyable ex- perience to see our twelve hundred students, coming as they do from seven different elementary schools, enter into the spirit and tradition of Garfield with vigor and enthusiasm. Our faculty and our students are striving to make the lunior High School an institution placed between the Elementary School and the senior High School in such a way that the process of education shall continue in an orderly, interesting, and unbroken manner. We are not a college preparatory school. We are a school which should offer an abundance of exploration into many fields of study, many common experiences of everyday life, and many situations which demand the give and take so necessary in this game of life. We are one of the strongest instruments in existence which will do much to preserve and perpetuate the ideals and principles of a democratic form of living. To you twelve hundred Garfielders, and you forty-seven faculty associates, I am grateful for a warm and sincere reception. Your Scrub Principal, £Cunn oCe encdne
