Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, As I sit and write my final recollections of the four year at Long Beach High, the years filled with deep happiness and sorrow I suddenly realize how fortunate I was. It was here I learned to say Como se llama usted and understand the many complicated problems of math, history, and biology. Here I participated in and enjoyed the many extra cirricular activities, such as L.I.G.A., Honor Societies and Music Events. I saw democracy praticed and taught as I read our school pub- lication and watched operations of the G.O., Yes, not only did these four years increase my educational knowledge but instilled in me hopes and aspirations which in turn will help me to lead a happy and successful life. I.ea Slater Dear Editor, There are many things about high school life that could not possibly be put into a year book. One of the things which is most out- standing in my mind is the kindness and sin- cerity of our teachers. They have constantly and unselfishly been interested and helpfull in all of our endeavors. Their willingness to do extra work with us when exam time ap- proached is just one example of the many things they did for us. If thumbed through the pages of our high school day memories, I am sure each one of us would realize how much our teachers did for us and how much gratitude we owe them. Echoly Yours, Inez Koseff Dear Editor, When I am asked what High School has meant to me, I answer in terms of it's oppor- tunities. Opportunity is what has made our country great, and it is what has made our school a top-rate high school with so many advantages for young people. Its fine curriculum insures for us, the citi- zens of tomorrow, a wiser, brighter, and healthier outlook on life. Dorothy Green TEN Dear Editor, The importance of student government cannot be over-emphasized. Especially in Long Beach High School, the General Organization plays an important role in our school life. The student government trains us in the fundamen- tals of living in a democracy. It is evident in school and after school, with the G.O. staging dances, providing a student store, and leading all other extra curricular activities. If we did not have such a central organization, we should not have a full school life, or even a full adult life. David Bushler Table of Contents Echo Staff . . . 4-5 Administrative and Advisors ....

FOOTBALL TEAM STRUGGLES AGAINST ODDS The 1952 edition of the Football Marines was strong in both talent and spirit but weak in experience. Coaches Ilowit and Polin were forced to shape the squad around a core of five veterans, of which only two survived the entire season. As in the past Long Beach went all the Way with the standard single-Wing offense and its deceptive Back-Lateral series. Unlike last year the Marines did not use the T , On occasions they passed and ran from a very unorthodox spread formation with the backfield deployed far to the left or right. Throughout the season injuries were our strongest foe. They claimed twelve victims, seven of whom were on the first string from the outset of the season. Despite our record the l95l-52 season was far from a total loss. If nothing else we gained a lot of experience and many a good time. To quote the highest authority on the subject, Coach Roy Ilowit, If nothing else it was fun . SOCCER, A SIXTH PERIOD GAME There's a swift kick that looks good, it is, itis a goal for Long Beach. Well that's not the way it Went all season, but the team showed a few spurts of greatness during many of the games. Led by the tactful and inspiring coaching of Doc Galowin, we did win two games and tied one. The seasonis big game with Valley Stream fwhom we had already beatenl on the after- noon of November 2, l95l at home in the midst of a downpour. It got so dark that the flood lights had to be turned on to keep the game going. Long Beach broke the scoreless deadlock with a goal kicked by Bob Governale. Fighting their way thru mud and rain the spirited Long Beach team held Valley Stream until late into the third period when they tied the score. As time ran out neither team could score. At the end of the regulation 40 minutes of play, the two captains decided to play over- time periods. Slipping all over the field, neither team could score the precious goal for victory and it ended with a moral victory for both sides. All in all the team had a very good record. Tommy Snow, the captain of this year's team was voted to the All-Scholastic Soccer Team. TWELVE
