TO THE CLASS OF SUMMER TWENTY-ONE Lo, another Commencement Season has rolled around; another class of lads and lassies stands with shining faces to receive our hail and farewell. Your faces are shining not entirely, we know, with joy at the vision of vanished high school years; regret at the severance of happy ties will be smothered away beneath satisfaction in your finished work and anticipation of a glowing future. You are right to be radiant — for you will form other ties of happiness and service. This year we greet you as a rainbow cloud — may it be the rainbow of promise! You, the members of the Class of Summer 1921, have the notable distinction of beginning the present epoch in the life of our school. As befitted pioneers you watched the construction of streets, sidewalks, the planting of lawns, trees, and shrubbery, and the extension of the carline to the very doors of the building. Progress has become a part of your thought. You have been a forward looking Class. Your editors have selected a topic in keeping with the history of the Class, a topic of the future; namely, the influ- ence of America upon the problems of the Pacific. Far-seeing world ' s statesmen are thoughtfully looking to the people of Western America for the solution of problems arising from the meeting of occidental and oriental civilizations. Occidental civilization has reached the farther- most lands of possible Western migration. Oriental civilization has extended as far east as it is possible for it to go. The meeting of the two civilizations, vastly different in development, is fraught with great possibilities for the future of the whole world. For the future peace of the world it is very providential that America has had such far- seeing statesmen as John Hay, Theodore Roosevelt, and William How- ard Taft, who established permanent friendship between the greatest nation of the Orient, China, and the most influential and powerful na- tion of the Western hemisphere, the United States. China has be- come accustomed to looking toward the United States to assist her in getting a square deal in world politics. Los Angeles, because of its geographical location and its position as the largest city in Western America, will have much to do in de- termining America ' s policy toward the Oriental nations. Our school has been noted for the public services of its Alumni. May you, the members of a progressive Class, steadily by the spirit of constructive service of your Alma Mater, assist your city in solving rightly the problems of the Pacific. May you give to the world many men and women whose influence for world betterment will be real and lasting.
