OUR PRINCIPALS TOURISTS Often we hear people speak ot tourists as if they were a separate race of human beings as are 'lasmanians or Kaftirsg as if they had always beenand always would be tourists. Nothing is farther from the fact. Mostly tourists are just ordinary folks like the Browns next door, or the Smiths who live around the corner. Most have traveled little before, and often they are on their first trip. For many the trip may represent an investment which has been made only by sacrific- ing other important values, perhaps the chance for a new car, or the clearing of the mortgage on the home. Wfhy do ordinary vine-run people make these sacriiices? They are actuated by the same in- stincts that carried our ancestors across the At- lantic to America, and later across the Great American Desert to our Golden State. It is the spirit of the pioneer which is in all of us. The yearning to know what is on the other side of the mountains which compels us now to travel back along the trails. Therefore, since we are all potential tourists, let us make a practice of treat- irrf all tourists as we ourselves would like to be 'x7 '1'catefl. Romzm' A. THOMPSON. F. 3: 'f:rI For the Burr S'38: We who live in Southern California prove no exception to the established fact that it is human nature to take for granted the unique and lovely things of one's environment. This beautiful sec- tion of the United States, similar in climate and the resulting natural products to the world- famed beauty of the Mediterranean Countries, is especially attractive to all who come to see us. As we see, with them, the orange and lemon and avocado groves, the mountains, the sea, our out- door life, and the numerous offerings to tourists. We are continually reminded of our good fortune in living here. May we always prove worthy and show a willingness to share in developing and preserving it. MARGARET L. SMITH, Girls' V'IiCG-P7f11Cff7Gl. GOOD 'WILL PROMOTED Modern methods of transportation have made it possible for many people from all over the world to share with us for a time the beauties of our glorious state. The increased understanding and good will which aretbeing promoted through more wide- spread travel must necessarily have important effects on our achievements and relationships. May we give these travelers an opportunity to see us at our best. May our courtesy and hospitality to our guests match our scenery, our climate, our industrial and cultural treasures. E. A. JARVIS.

i l i l l , l ,A in 9 W L wt ' FOREVVORD By HAXRRY BAUER, P1'csir1'ml1', flrrtomobile Club 0 Sozftlmrn California , f l Dedication of Tlzr BZ-M'7' to the Tourists of Southern California seems to me a happy in- spiration. These Sojourners from other states and lands are our good friends and welcome guests, and merit every attention we can showthem. They are appreciative. I am particularly gratified that your publica- tion is devoted to this appropriate theme, be- cause the great motorists' organization of which I have the honor to be the chief executive is instrumental in bringing here hundreds of thousands of visitors traveling in their own cars. and extending its courtesies and facilities to make their journeys pleasant and interesting. Representative of the entire nation's best citi- zenship, and educationally-minded, the visitors are invariably impressed with the large number, generous size, and high standards of our schools. Recognition of their interest is commendable. and I congratulate the senior class and the editors of its publication. Tourists are not mere sightseers passing through, but potential citizens of our sunny region. Today's casual caller at John Burroughs Junior High may be a pupil there tomorrow. One out of every ten men, women and children in Southern California on a trip ultimately re- turns to remain permanently. VVe entertain a million a11d three-quarter tourists annually, and one hundred and seventy-five thousand of them will make this their future home. Hail to the tourists ! And success to the senior class, the editors, and The Burr!
