Mr. Hughesis Message HE Olympics, the particular interest and study of the graduating classes of nineteen hundred and thirty-one, is a very timely and appropriate theme-subject. Local, state, and nation-Wide interest is being taken in the Olympic contests to be held in Los Angeles next year. Mental and physical preparedness for this great event is, therefore, indeed fitting. The renaissance is not yet over. Ancient civilization continues to iniluence modern life, if not directly, at least by application. If by a study or restudy of the contributions made by the Ancient Greeks to the care, training, and perfec- tion of the human body, either through literature or art, and the youth of our time thereby can acquire a deeper interest in health, Wholesome living, and longevity, much has been accomplished, and We are still in a renaissance. The Greek motto Nf'f'L04 0-S31K0ff0v H - 'ivictory through diligence, expresses not only the basis of success in Olympic contests, but it also states a fundamental necessity for success in life. We congratulate the class of Summer '31 upon their choosing this motto. Perhaps the greatest contribution the Olympic contests make to modern life is that of international friendliness and understanding. A c q u a i n t a n c e- ship through personal contacts is the greatest force by which international mis- understandings and prejudices can be eliminated. Since the crying need of the nations of the world is a sympathetic appreciation of and a wholesome attitude towards the problems and dilferences existing among them, the Olympics can do much to meet this need. The students and faculty at Washington High School are Willing and stand ready to do their part toward making the Olympic Games at Los Angeles, 1932, a great success. To this end, they, all of them, pledge their undivided interest and loyal support. THOMAS E.
