' 11-.1-'Z-'If'-.!'!'! L2:.22 ll'Ilarii 1-.i! llilI This year, the fourth in the life of the La Jolla High, has been on the whole a very successful one. It has seen many changes in and around our school. The in- creased enrollment made larger building accomodations necessary, and with the new buildings came new teachers, new departments, and new equipment. The equipment has not been sufficient in several departments, but it is hoped that there will be more additions made next year. The new Vocational Building, finished soon after the first semester ended, proved well worth waiting for. lt houses the machine, wood, and print shops on the lower floor, and the sewing rooms, cooking laboratories, laundry, mechanical and fine arts rooms on the upper floor. Our play-ground has been increased by five acres, two and a half acres being bought by the school board, and the other two and a half acres being donated by Miss Ellen Scripps. The land has been graded and part of it is now used for a football gridiron, basketball courts, a baseball diamond, md jumping pits, surrounded by a track. The system of student government, too, has taken great strides this past year. It was the :tudents who started the Merit System as a foundation for better things to come. Perhaps an Honor System and a Scholarship Society will be introduced next year or at some future date. It is only natural that with this onward movement, a bigger, better, and more complete Year Book is expected. The efforts of the staff have been directed along this line so that in coming years as we turn from the busy fields of life to recall the days spent together in La Jolla High, we can turn to our Annual and live again those days of our youth. This year, as well as the three preceding, has had its share of' hardships and obstacles, it is trueg but joy and play have been mixed with sorrow and work, until the hardships are forgotten and we find that we love our school the more. We shall miss our teachers greatly. As we grow older we will realize more and more the things they have done for us, and it is then that we will thank them for their patience and earnestness in preparing us for the battles of life. The Class of '26 will soon be no more, but as we go out into our chosen work, we know that very often we shall think of the happy years together in La Jolla High. Mes Camrades, Adieul To the Juniors who will take our places in the coming year, we wish joy and successg we trust that you will find the inspiration to carry on the tasks and traditions that we leave in your charge. To all our friends of the lower classes we offer a kind farewell. We trust that you too, will ever try to the best of your ability to serve your Alma Mater well and to love it, as we have done-the Class of '26.
