tics, b o X i n g, wrestling, weight-lifting, association football, f e n ci n g, rowing, swimming, equestrian sports, modern pentathlon, cycling, yachting, polo, Held hockey, water polo, rifle and pistol shooting, and the fine arts will be witnessed by more than 105,000 spectators from every corner of the globe. George Washington High School feels a more personal relation with the Olympic Games, for they have claimed two members of its faculty. In the Olympic which was held in Paris in l924, Mrs. Clarita Neher was entered in the high diving events. The last Olympia, held in Amsterdam in 1928, found her representing America again. In the gym- nastics of this same Olympia, Mr. Glenn H. Berry of the physical education department was a competitor. When 3000 young athletes, the pick of the world's youth, assemble to take the Olympian Oath, another golden band of friendship will encircle the world. Then, when the glory of the aim has been achieved, the closing ceremonies will remind the youth of the world to display cheerfulness and con- cord, that the Olympiad torch may be carried through the ages for the good of a humanity more, eager, more courageous, and more pure, Thus will the Olympic Games become an oracle of men. , fl , fff Y?-f

With the passing of Greek culture and the advent of the dark ages, came a lull of centuries in the cele- bration of the Olympic Games. To the courage and zeal of Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France in com- paratively very recent times We owe their revival. In June, 1894, he obtained sanction of his plans for the revival of the Olympics and invited various countries of the World to participate. In the beautiful and famous city of Athens, the nations assembled and the O l y m p i a was revived. Prom that time, the Games have been held every four years, as they were in Ancient Greece. Colonel William May Garland of Los Angeles, a member of the International Olympic committee, With his untiring efforts and abounding patriotism played the major part in bringing the Olympic Games to Los Angeles. The calm Pacific will send its refresh- ing breezes and the sun will smile down as it, did thousands of years ago in Greece.
