Adimieistraiitioini As ever, Los Angeles High School has been gaining in attendance. During the three years since this class of S ' 32 entered, the student population has increased from .3495 to 3770. Administrative organization and efficiency have kept pace. Many of the governmental functions usually devolving upon the Faculty has been intrusted to the students, and thus character and responsibility in citizenship have been developed. Steady growth in enrollment has brought corresponding need for larger facilities. With 1840 boys and 1930 girls now attending classes, the school authorities have well under way the plans for a new building of 18 units to cost $100,000. This structure will be in the same architecture as the main building, fitting harmoniously into the general picturesque group. It will contain a study hall to seat 150 students, two biology laboratories, two sewing rooms, the entire department of commercial sub jeets, including two recitation rooms for commercial law and salesmanship, three typing rooms, two bookkeeping rooms, and the administrative office. With the added conveniences of this new building, students will not have to study in the library or in the auditorium. Most important of the new equipment made available during the present semes- ter is the beautiful Oliver Pool, now ready and waiting for Olympic Games tryouts. Another improvement has been the concreting of the ground in the rear of the boys ' gym. This gives the department opportunity for efficient work even in wet weather when the athletic field may be in poor condition. Quite naturally, the gym department has had great popularity during this last term. With classes totaling 3575, this department led all others in enrollment. Second came the English department with 3342 registered students: and third the social science classes, with 2650 enrolled. The attendance of the other departments was: Spanish, 1070: French, 496; German, 61: Latin, 4SS; Greek, 7; art, 863; commercial subjects, 1685; journalism, 145; home economics, 610; mathematics, 1503; mechanical arts, 444; music, 1119; military, 275; biology, 1602; chemistry, 611; and physics, 267. Steady growth in personnel and equipment, together with ever greater usefulness in the community, characterize the history of our school. We look confidently to the future with its certainty of even larger service.
