An avalanche, a concentration, a superfluity, a redundancy, a profusion, an exuberance, an inunda- tion, a surfeit of words, as G. Stern would say, is what I Kot when I asked the editor of the Stylus the theme of the book. A most lofty theme ... the stars, sky, sun, moon, planets, constellation, etc., etc., was his answer. And so it is not a matter of putting my thoughts into words, but the much harder one of putting words into thoughts in my message to the graduating class. Into what thought then can I put these lofty words with which our editor supplied me? The thought into which they form themselves for me is this: The theme of your book is symbolical of the attitude of mind today — no limit is set to our thinking. The old, well-worn, trite and familiar things of the earth are not enough. The mind is eagerly reaching out to play with new possibilities. I doubt if this generation thinks e en the sky is the limit. There is something gallant in this dauntless, infinite attitude of inquiry. For you graduating seniors, I am hoping that your thoughts may be hitched way up there, where the theme of your book is. And never forget that when bothered and distressed with the worries of this world, the most refreshing thing one can do is to take a star bath. Ethel Hume Flood iVIoyse In working with members of the Student Body and Faculty, this year, at Glendale High School, I have often been impressed with the spirit of friendli- ness and the friendships which exist in the group. I would encourage this. Without friends life would be practically intoler- able. With friends we have pleasure and enjoyment. They help us in business; through their patience and willingness to teach we learn. They are an intimate part of everything we do in life ; loyalty and under- standing are their watchwords. A distinction should be made between friendliness and true friendship; both have to be cultivated. It is not often that they just grow. In order to attract friends one must be friendly and cultivate the quali- ties of friendship — loyalty, trustworthiness, honesty, genuineness, tolerance, sincerity, even temper, faith- fulness, and ability to keep confidences. The best way to attract friends is through char- acter. It begets confidence. We follow the guidance of men of predominant character. Their influence is immeasurable. Who can gauge the number of friends, the influence of a single outstanding boy or girl in school ? Who can measure the power for good of men and women of character in the community? But strew his ashes to the wind Whose sword or voice has served mankind — And is he dead, whose glorious mind Lifts thine on high? To live in hearts we leave behind Is not to die. Eugene Wolfe [8]

GRADU ATI NG SENIORS In education today we hear a great deal about integration. The educator means by integration a bringing together into a unified whole those things which have a true relationship. I think we can have no finer goal for our whole school life than that of integration. Integration means a oneness. It means harmony. It means that one does not say one thing and do another; that the physical, the moral, and the spiritual all come together to strengthen one another and to make a strong personality. One could not have a finer ideal than that in his own heart and life he reach this oneness which makes for peace, serenity, and effectiveness, ' ' ou are each now building this personality of yours. I hope as the years go by that each one of you will become more closely in- tegrated and that strength, serenity, and firmness of purpose may characterize your lives. As your principal I with deep interest have followed you in your work in the high school. Naturally, it has not been my privilege to know each one of you as well as I would wish. The outside problems with which a principal must deal often denies him the real privliege of knowing intimately many of his students. It is my deep regret that I cannot have a personal friendship with each one of the students in our high school, for I prize deeply those student friendships which I have made. These friendships, however, I take as a symbol of the friendship that I have in my heart for each one of you. I want you, as you go out from this school, to realize that the very fact you have been students in Glendale High makes you close to me. Vill you not carry the thought with you that if at any time, anywhere, I can help you that ou will feel free to call on me as you would on a true friend? George Moyse [7]
