LOM POC UNION f211 HIGH SCHOOL Editorial As we glance backward over the past year, we note a few things worthy of the notice of the school, as well as of the community at large. Last year there was an increased demand for the annuals,lso this year fifty additional copies have been ordered. This gives the staff encouragement, and makes them all want to do their very best. When we know people are enjoying our work, we want to be careful to keep up their interest. The most important event this year, unlike the years preceding, will be graduation. The largest class ever graduated from the Lompoc High School will receive their diplomas the coming June. This shows that, after all, school is being considered more and more worth while. Under the able direction of Mr. Nelson, the boys in the Manual Train- ing Classes have built a new shop, a new stage, and a cover for the boys' dressing room. However, we still feel the need for a new auditorium, as we are obliged to stage our dramatic works in the theater, although the theater has afforded us more conveniences than the Gym, it is a long way from the High School, and the cost of the theater is a great deal more. We feel that an auditorium would be a great asset to the school for the staging of our dramatic productions, and also for the holding of our A. S. B. meetings and our commencement exercises. The grounds around the school have been greatly improved. The Christ- mas tree presented to the school by the Juniors last year has made a splendid growth, and, also, each class has planted a cypress tree inside the court. The turf has grown rapidly under the care of Mr. Kimbel, and we feel that our football field is equal to any other field in the county. The Student Body meetings this year have been well organized, and some very enjoyable programs have been staged. The dances have been under the control of the different classes, and this system has worked out splendidly. In this way more lower classmen are encouraged to attend the school dances. Also, we have a few more organizations this year than we have had in preceding years. The Varsity L Club was really started at the beginning of the year, and it has done a great deal already toward making our athletic rules and regulations better. The Hi-Y was also organized and this group, although it was small, has developed surprisingly, and hope is held for a better organization in the near future. This year has been a very happy and enjoyable one in the school's his- tory. Its memory will be cherished always by those young people who are leaving its folds to fare forth into the world, with happiness behind them, and life, with its trials and difficulties, just around the corner. THE EDITOR.
