FOREWORD HE influence of ancient Greece conies down to us like the light from a fixed star, whose glory may seem to have gone out, but whose afterglow still sheds its radiance upon the world. We look to ancient Greece for words of wisdom and undying works of art that live on with increasing value, and to Greece we pay tribute for the Olympic Games, the background of sports, which play so important a part in modern life. The sportsmanship, effort, and high ideals which char- acterized the Olympic Games have been sources of inspiration to all the youth of the land. In all its activities, ideals like these have been the goal of the Lodi Union High School, where the spirit of true sportsmanship prevails, whether it be in sports or in school work itself. The staff of the “Tokay” has endeavored to bring into this annual something of the spirit of Greece. Greek poets and writers have been the source of our quotations, Greek sculptors and athletes the models for our art, and the Greek Olympic Games the inspiration for our annual. Since this year marks the close of a modern Olympiad and since the Olympic Games arc being held in California, we hope that our readers will feel that we have appropriately chosen “Olympic Games” as the theme for the 1932 “Tokay.” — Betty Jean Ashley. And many a chosen youth stood ready To strive there in their sports —Homer [ 4 ]
