Foreword a BRAVK litrle band of men and women, fighting for a noble purpose in «an alien land, beset with every conceivable hardship, the shadow of failure constantly before them, persecution and cruelty behind them—these were our founders. Fighting with un- daunted courage the perils of cold, starvation, and savage enemies in an unending struggle for existence, the Pilgrims were not to be defeated. Had they been men and women of less sturdy character, they would have succumbed to the bitterness of the New England winters, and a significant chapter in history would never have been written. But they managed to survive despite privations and dangers, and began to implant a better life in this crude, undeveloped country. Only fifteen years after the landing at Plymouth Rock, the first high school was established, a testimony of the unfailing perseverance of these newcomers, It is a far cry from the little Boston Latin School of 1635, whose sole aims were the continuance of religious education and the preparation of its pupils for college, to the great, influential, many-sided institutions which our country boasts today. Three hundred years of progress have changed the concept of education to meet the changing needs of the nation. But the germ of all of today's wide-spread achievement was in that far be- ginning; the spirit which made the Pilgrims seek the security of educa- tion for their children has been the guiding spirit of three centuries of high school development. The foresight and perseverance of the Pil- grims made possible all the value and pleasure which we now derive from our years in high school. To these founders we owe unending gratitude, Because 1935 marks the three-hundredth year ot secondary schools in America, we have chosen this anniversary as the theme of the 1935 “Green and White.” We hope that the book will symbolize the appreciation our generation should feel for the faith and courage and aspirations of those pioneers, and that it will always bring to you wel- come memories of a happy year at Inglewood High School.
