For sixty centuries the vanguard of social advancement, moving with perceptible certainty, has been tra- veling westward from its original starting point on the Euphrates. Even in our country during the past four hundred years, like the front line trenches of an advancing army, our people carrying with them their customs, laws, and habits, have advanced across this continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Throughout the long period of recorded history west- . ward expansion has been real and potent. lVIaybe the innate desire in the human breast to do something bigger and better than that already accomplished, directed by the influence of the daily example of the sun's ever advancing westward, has brought about this persistent, human experience. The Orient and Occident clasp hands on the Pacific Coast. Either a new cycle of progress will be started here still traveling Westward, or western civilization will reverse the age-old order of things and begin to influence and modify eastern life. In some respects the latter is now a reality. The Pacific Coast, including Cali- fornia, is one of the most democratic spots to be found anywhere. The newer forms of government, the initiative, referendum, and recall, direct primaries, nomination by petition, non-partisan elections, and many others have virtually had their origin here. Some of the eastern and older states of the Union have adopted these prac- tices, and thus we are beginning to see already the influence of the West reacting upon the East. Washington High School standing on the shores of the Pacific, looking both to the rising and setting sun, with the experience of the past to direct her steps and with the age-old urge for better things beckoning her onward, should be an exem- plary institution. Students here have a unique opportunity of pioneering, of blaz- ing trails, of establishing practices which will become traditions, of setting standards, and of doing these things in a better Way than their predecessors have done them, because Washington has the accumulation of their successes on which to build. -THOMAS E.

We also have had our first pioneering period. Now it is a question of continuing our endeav- ors toward creating a finer school. Whenever life approaches a static condition little progress is possible. Such a condition is not to be toler- ated. To live a full life students of VVashington Hih School, particularly the members of the graduating class, should select, as a major pur- pose of their lives, constant progression. This objective may be achieved only through per- sistent effort-only through continually Ad- vancing Frontiers. -EDw1N F.
