foreword In the half-century of its existence from l904 to the present, Hollywood High has seen its youth face the most crucial period in world his- tory-World War I, the wild prosperity of the 2O's, the depression of th e 3O's, World War ll, the Korean War, and finally the explo- sion of the atomic and hy- drogen bombs. Through this critical period, Hollywood High has met the needs and demands of youth in a changing world. Teachers as well as administratorswhave emphasized growth in many areas - scholastic achieve- ments, good citizenship, and moral courage. These desirable g o a l s have helped to build the re- putation of Hollywood High School during the past five decades, and it is because of them and because of our belief that the School will continue to grow and excel in many ways that we feel proud and honored to pre- sent the l954 Golden An- niversary Poinsettia.

This year our beloved and re- spected principal, who has served our school for thirty-four years, will retire. lt is most fitting that the fif- teenth anniversary issue of the Poin- settia, depicting a half century of growth and progress, be dedicated to Mr. Louis F. Foley, educator, hu- manitarian, and civic leader. He was born in Newark, New Jer- sey and attended Ohio Wesleyan and the University of Southern Cali- fornia. He has held the position of mathematics and science teacher, coach, and physical education di- rector. Mr. Foley first came to'HoIly- wood High as a teacher and later was appointed vice principal. In 1929, he became principal. ln community affairs as well as in education, Mr. Foley is outstand- ing. He is onthe Board of Managers at the Hollywood Y.W.C.A., a mem- ber of the Easter Sunrise Committee at the Hollywood Bowl, and past president of both the Lions Club and the High School Principals Associa- tion. However, like most men of good will and strong character, he is not content to rest-upon past achievements but will continue his constructive activities after retire- ment. Hollywood High School as it is today is a perfect example of the truth of Ralph Waldo Emerson's statement that An Institution is the lengthened shadow of one man. Mr. Foley's vision and guidance have imbued both students and fa- culty with lofty ideals. ln scholar- ship, Hollywood has consistently won recognition from major univer- sities for the quality of its gradu- ates: in community service, the students have always filled a record number of Red Cross boxes, main- tained a bed at the Children's Hos- pital, and presented a Christmas Program for grammar school chil- dren, and in athletics, Hollywood has always emphasized honorable conduct above victory. Through years of growth and change, of war and peace, Hollywood High School, guided and inspired by Mr. Foley, has been the gateway to opportu- nity and success for the youth in our community. 3 Lg 352' 25fyi'i?
