Principal Ernest Warner Olii MiTo Oliver s M©§§aii© There come from Athens, the brilliant city of ancient times, greetings to our own beautiful city, Los Angeles, the capital of the great southwest empire now well established as a world center. From 776 B. C, the beginning of the Olympics, there come to 19.32 A. D., the year of the present Olympiade, messages of good will. Fifty countries are sending their best athletes to the Tenth Olympiade; and this world event will illustrate the highest type of sportsmanship, courtesy, and good fellowship. As a result, there will be an increased desire for better and a more active understanding of international problems, leading to a more permanent policy of peace among the nations of the world. The Olympic Games will call very forcefully to the attention of the boys and girls of Los Angeles High School the value of the highest ideals of international good will. These Games will be a stimulus for finer and better personal citizenship on the part of every student. We, your teachers, thank you, the members of the Summer Class of 1932, for your creative leadership, for the courtesy that you have extended to us on many and all occasions, and for your exemplification of high ideals for young manhood and for young womanhood. May I express a personal wish for the future happiness and success of every member of the class? Very sincerely yours.

Miss Wolveirtoe s M©s§aie These are the days when wars and rumors of wars Intensify the obligation up- on each of us to do our utmost for the peace of the world. Surely, when many nations send representatives to play to- gether, those nations are increasing in kind- liness toward each other. And, surely we, their hosts, may join in their kindliness, may consecrate our spirits to the encourage- ment of permanent peace. Your friend always. •-principal Sarah Foss Wolverton B MiTo Molble s M©§saii© Once in a generation will the Olym- pics be awarded to America. The Pacific coast may never entertain the world ' s ath- letes aga in within the lives of any of us now living. When we think these facts over care- fully, then we begin to realize the wonder- ful opportunity that presents itself to the citizens of Los Angeles and Southern Cal- ifornia this coming summer. The Summer Class of 1932 is to be con- gratulated upon completing its high school career in this epocal year. Your class, and Los Angeles as a whole, however, have not only a privilege but also a responsibility. Let us show to all of the visiting nations a spirit of friendliness and cordiality, and on the competitive field, nothing but good sportsmanship. In this way, we will justify the real reason for the resumption of the Olympic Games of old times. Very sincerely yours. Vice-pTincipal Ralph C. Noble
