Alumni Editor of the Blue and NVhite: The honor of being requested to write a letter to my Alma Mater is one that I appreciate, as the Los Angeles High School is very dear to me. I have watched with interest the-wonderful progress which the school has made since I attended. It has been gratifying to compare its promising record of the past with its glowing achievements today. I have noted the many changes since the days in the old Spring Street building, and the many privileges the students now have that we did not enjoy. However we made the most of what the school afforded and fostered a loyal school spirit. Both men and women prominent in business, professional and public life have arisen from these early classes. Vlfe may be sure that many others who are not so well known are striving to fulfill the ideals of their Alma Mater in their daily lives. Wfe shall now look forward with interest to discover who among the boys and girls that are soon to leave will accomplish most in life. To do your best in whatever vocation you may engage in is the only way of preparing yourself for the greater things of life. Until you have grasped the situation in the present you cannot reach out to better things in the future, and as some one has said, do your best and the world will do its best by you. Vtfith earnest wishes for the continued success of the Illue and XYhite, I am, Yours sincerely, Mixv C. HCJLI.,XNIJ OFFUTT, Class of '9O.

of a frosh kneeling to a sophomore. There are many other posters-most of them proving the superiority of the class of 1915 over 1916. But the faces are, after all, the funniest. They are painted and whitewashed every color in the rain- bow. Some are modest combinations, as a green face with red ears, but others make lndians in their war-paint look tame. Une of the frosh spoke to me, and after considerable difficulty, 1 recognized Bob Meyler with a face like an Easter egg. After the rush was all over, the frosh gave their class yell and started their pee-rade. They marched up past the library, singing and yelling, crossed the quadrangle and broke up in front of Sibley,-the college of Mechanical Engineering. 1t was a good rush, as rushes go. The weather was ideal, and spring in the east usually is, and the side lines were well sprinkled with girls-co-eds, town-girls, and a few that had traveled some distance to see the event. l spent most of the time in taking pictures from the side of the field and couldn't help thinking that 1 had enjoyed it more last year and the year before, when it was my face that helped spread the mud. CHixRLEs VVATT SMITH, L. A. H. S., VV. '1O. Dear llliss Miller: 1 was greatly pleased to receive your letter requesting me to write a few words for the Blue and Wfhite. Not that you asked me to say only a few words. but 1 take it for granted that is all you want. The reason 1 was pleased is that 1 am glad to keep in touch with the old schoolhouse on the hill. 1t is nine years since S. '04, as an institution, completed its four Cand in some cases fivel year pilgrimage at the shrine of Mr. Housh and Mrs. Dorsey. And as the years roll on, the memories of those days become more and more precious. You ask for advice. That 1 cannot give, except that you impress on those you leave behind, the necessity of keeping up the traditions of the past. What those who have gone before have done, let those who follow in the future do. Keep up the old habits and customs. Let those be the golden links binding together the future and the past, the alumni and the undergraduates. There is too much proneness in our age to overthrow and reconstruct, with the result that the old is entirely out of sympathy with the new. Keep this spirit out of our school. Thanking you for your courtesy, and with the best of wishes for S. '13, 1 remain, Yours sincerely, EDWIN I. Loiin, April 12, 1913.
