TO THE WINTER CLASS OF ' 24 Last semester ' s celebration of the Mid-Centennial with its wonder- ful spirit of accomplishment and of school loyalty has now become one of our most treasured memories. Your class begms the second halt of the century in the life of the school which has grown from seven students in 1873 to nearly 3600 students in 1924. Dunng the same period, the city of Los Angeles has grown trom a small Spanish village with a few American settlers, to total population which was less than 10 000 inhabitants, to a metropolitan city of a million people pulsating with an enthusiastic optimism. In the development ot the city, the educational and spiritual influences must be considered even more im- portant than the purely material ones. It is a tradition for past gradu- ates and an ambition for present and future graduates o he L s Angeles High School that its alumni shall go out into the ife ot the city and be leaders in its development. It is the purposeful desire of the school, its alumni, and faculty, that Los Angeles shall be known throughout the world for its material prosperity, for its architectuial beautv for its cultured homes, for its efficient and modern schools, for its complete enforcement of the law and for its sincere belief in civic ' ' MaTvoirmembers of the Winter class of ' 24, with the inspiration that vou have received from your Alma Mater, be individually active in making the Los Angeles of the next twenty-five years, a city that shall give to the world all that is best in the modern development of democracy. . ■ j From your sincere friend, E. W. OLIVER

TO THE CLASS OF WINTER TWENTY-FOUR While the old shall dream dreams, the young shall see visions. Pre- eminently the new Era belongs to you. You represent the intelligent young men and women of America, and your visions shall truly deter- mine the greatness or the littleness, the freedom or the tyranny, the idealism or the materialsm, of this new Era. We are receiving por- tentous tidings from distracted Europe today; rumblings of war; re- turn to monarchy; decadence of the education of the common people. There are those who still believe it possible for us of America to help Europe orient herself. If this is to be the fact, and in saving her we are to help to save ourselves, it will be because you and the thousands like you do not allow idealism to be destroyed by the stress and strain of the daily grind, and because by keeping in constant contact with the movements of the time in which you live, you remain intelligent citi- zens of the world. You have become very dear to us. Class of Winter Twenty-Four, and we shall miss you sorely. Yet we could not, if we would, keep you from progressing hopefully into your new Era, and in bidding you fare- well, we wish for you all the good that can come to human travelers. SARAH F. WOLVERTON
