News of Principal Emeritus Housh About fifty thouand persons in the city of Los Angeles are of the opinion that Los Angeles High School was very fortunate in having a man of vision, personality, and integrity as Principal— our fine fiiend. Mr. W. H. Housh. In the last thirty-one years, the first opportunity to do something personal for Mr. Housh was enthusiastically ac- complished by faculty, undergraduates and alumni, and the unprecedented Housh Around-the-World voyage was contemplated and so happily consummated that at this wilting Mr. Housh is surrounded by Chinese bandits somewhere between Shanghai and Peking, and is getting a much-needed rest. Our genial former principal sailed from Los Angeles harbor on the S. S. President Polk, 2 o ' clock, August 25, 1925. At San Francisco the Palace Hotel made of him a personal guest, and Will Webster (Winter ' 99), saw to it that nothing was lacking. Marvin McKenzie (AVinter ' 99), introduced him to a musical comedy. Dr. Morrison (S ' 07), led him into a .iewelry store and as a parting gift presen ted Mr. Housh with a diamond Masonic pin. Messrs. Webster and McKenzie and Miss Leviele (one time faculty), pushed the boat away from the dock en route to Honolulu. At Honolulu alumni kidnapped Mr. Housh for the whole time of his stay, and he enjoyed it. In Japan, Japanese graduates of our school entertained him in the usual high school way- wonderful. In China, wonderful visit and wonderful high school alumni, but a military campaign for presidency by three or four ambitious leaders apparently has caused a loss of six weeks ' time, which was turned into a much needed rest, and all is well. From now on it is overland through India, visiting Rabinadrath Tagore, Taj Mahal, Bombav to Cairo, thence two month in Europe via Holy Land, Athens, and Rome. He will be the guest of the government of France at L ' Opera at Paris. Homeward via New York, Havana and Panama Canal, he will probably arrive home April, 1926— a home where he knows without question that there are thousands who love and respect this man, who has lieen a wonderful leader and a high moral constructive force for the whole community. The executive committee delegated to carry out the idea consisted of Hairy H. Baskerville COO); Benjamin Harwood ( ' 00), and Sam L. Kreider ( ' 99). chairman, and it was their privilege, through the name of Mr. Housh, to reopen hundreds of school friendships. SAM L. KREIDER.
