LA PURISIMA Editorial As we look around the school and think back over the past year we see many changes and remember many events which have taken place. There have been no startling events such as the explosion in the gym, but exterior improvements have been made. The biggest development is in the students and school life. We see new faces as we walk around, and we miss many' greetings which were so familiar in other years. Our school grounds have been materially beautified by the addition of shrubs and lawn in the courtyard and in the quadrangle west of the Junior High building. The -road between the two blocks of the campus has been re- moved mainly to prevent accident. This work has all been done under the direction of Mr. Kimbel. The construction class of the school is at present erecting some substantial bleachers on the edge of the football field. Mr. Nelson is in charge of this work. Our Student Body meetings this year have been less productive of busi- ness and legislation, but some really good class programs were presented for the entertainment of the students. Mr. Shirk, the new coach in charge of our athletic department, has proved himself a capable instructor as well as a personal friend of his athletes. He has made a good record in inter-school competition, especially when it is con- sidered that he had to institute his own individual system. The Girls' League drew much favorable attention this year, as all Girls' League organizations in the county were guests of the Lompoc girls at the county convention, which was held in Lompoc. The membership of the Scholarship Society showed marked increases over that of last year. Too many of us fail to realize or recognize the importance of high scholarship. Every student is at present, through education and study, building for the future. The person who accomplishes most in later life will be the one who built most carefully and conscientiously when in school. High scholarship is one of the early signs of later success. It seems that more stu- dents of our school should strive to make learning, along with athletics and general experience, a more important part of their intellectual development. Although this year has not been a year of major accomplishments in either learning or athletics, yet I am sure that we all feel that we have made good progress along the road of life. The Staff feels that with this progress there has also been some improve- ment in the Annual. We hope that you will enjoy this 1931 edition of La Purisima, and that in later years it will be a source of many cherished memories. l 23 l
