QBIihe1f'5 Message , To the Members of the Class of Summer '27: In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him and in that I am his Dupil, says Emerson, the great American essayist and philosopher. If you know a per- son, he becomes your friend. He has faults, but has sp many good qualities that you are happy to be tolerant of the qualities not entirely approved by you. So it is with nations, All people have their good and bad points. There must be developed an intelligent un- derstanding and a bond of sympathy among the nations of the world in order that there may be an ever-increasing inter-change of the arts, sciences, and commerce, and that world peace may prevail. Intolerant ignorance means diplomatic troubles and often war among nations . In these days of rapid transit and radio communication, the whole world is our neighbor. It is therefore possible for us to know far more intimately the various peo- ples of the world than if we had lived in the 19th century or even a decade ago. We are making the world one neighborhood-East is now next door to West, and all peo- ples dwell in one continuing city. America, as a nation, has been most successful in establishing a high degree of prestige among the nationsrof the earth. With that prestige has come to many of our citizens a feeling of security, of isolation, and a little of aloofness, The Chinese version of the Golden Rule, given in their famous classics, is applicable to all peoples, What you do not wish others to do to you, do not do to others. If this respect for others were carried out, there would be a real tendency toward world democracy, and there- fore a realization of common high ideals of government in the very near future. How is this attitude of respect for others to be attained? We answer that the great public school system of America is leading and must lead in the development of this attitude. Let us, at the Los Angeles High School, the name school of this great city at the western frontier of American civilization, be leaders in a world movement that Will. pave the way for a greater good will among men. Your sincere friend, I ,'ir 11
