THEME Life is a song—in spite of the thousand worries which besiege it, life can be a gay affair. The troubles, although they seem important, can be lessened if thrust into the background once in a while so that one can concentrate on some of the more enjoyable aspects of living. The high-school student as he prepares for his future must decide upon a career. If the student is ambitious, he will point toward a goal which he some day may achieve. However, this young boy or girl must also form a philosophy. If he or she is working for success, this question must be decided: Should a person stick closely to his chosen path without stopping along the way for any sort of enjoyment, or should he slow down to appreciate the good things of life and to observe his fellow man? To make the most out of life it is necessary to keep on the job, but the world is filled with happiness that has been overlooked by those very ambitious persons who have had no time for personal pleasure. If such individuals could see that they were missing the whole of life, then perhaps they would slow down and really enjoy living. This book brings the students the happy memories of a year in school—a year in which much was accomplished, yet enjoyment was not forgotten. Here is an endeavor to point out that life has been a song for the students during the last year.

DEDICATION To the Music Department of Herbert Hoover High School, which has distinguished itself and this institution by its outstanding accomplishments, the 1940 edition of the Scroll'' is dedicated. Under the able direction and leadership of Mrs. Florence Hoover Rogers and Mr. George Shochat the musical organizations of this school have achieved fame and recognition. Mrs. Rogers, a graduate of Pomona College and post graduate of Northwestern and Southern California Universities, came to Hoover High as head of the Music Department in 1929. One year later Mr. Shochat, a graduate of the Uni- versity of Southern California, arrived at this school. Their efficient supervision and outstanding ability have given this department its sterling reputation. The Music Department has produced with outstanding success a series of annual operettas, including Pinafore, The Firefly, and The Red Mill. The Hoover Or- chestra has been awarded by the Southern California Band and Orchestra Asso- ciation the highest rating given to any high-school orchestra in the state. Furthermore it was selected to play as a demonstration group for the National Music Educators' Conference in Los Angeles in April, and six of its members were honored by being a part of the National High School Orchestra. Noted and frequently in demand by the various community, church, and civic organizations are Hoover's large choral groups and small vocal ensembles. From these, five exceptionally talented students have had the honor this year of being accepted to sing in the National High School Chorus of three hundred students. Grateful recognition is due to the achievements of the Hoover Music Department and its capable directors.
