asliingfon H 7-adm, September, l936, brought the sun in full glory. The build- ings were completely rebuilt and refurbished, murals and frescos made them beautiful, modern stream line succeeded Tudor architecture, and cream and buff stuccoed walls re- placed yesterday's red brick and concealed the reinforcements which make the school proof against another earthquake. Students, too, prepared to build a new future upon the foundations of pre-earthquake customs. Traditions were re- vived, some intact, some improved, some adapted to new conditions. Those who had met for rallies on windy bleachers or inside flapping canvas walls will never forget their first assembly and the first football rally in the new auditorium. They who had eaten their lunches for years in rain or cold or blistering heat according to the weather's whims were appreciative of the friendly shelter of the Cafeteria. Campaigns to restore orderly passing in the halls and to make the quadrangle a place of beauty were undertaken with due enthusiasm. Today we are vying for honors as one of the four largest schools in Los Angeles. Our scholastic record is well above the average. Our athletic teams are able to hold their own in city competition. Our student body and faculty have an en- viable reputation for being friendly, helpful, and efficient. So we finish our history of the past ten years-a record upon which we look with pride and which we hand unafraid as a heritage to future Washingtonians. May the next ten years tell a tale of continued growth. ll7l
