3Wi Admieistirataoe The administration of the Los Angeles High School is an excellent example of the success that can be attained by the co-operation of students and teachers. Much of the administrative organization of the school is entrusted to the students, who consequently develop a capacity for responsibility, which is the direct result of this democratic system. The experience and substance thus gained lorm a nucleus for warranted success in after life. The great scope of the task accomplished by students and teachers is better realized when the enrollment of the school is considered. At the end of the first month of this term, the offici al report showed an excess of 3800 students attending daily classes. Over 135 highly trained teachers made up the personnel of the many diversified courses open to the pupil. The Winter Class of 1933 will be the one hundredth to graduate since the old Pioneer School began Its Illustrious career. Turning back the pages of time, we find that the first class to graduate from Los Angeles High School, that of May 2Sth. 1S75, boasted of seven members, who made up more than a third of the entire high school enrollment for Southern California. At that time, three teachers were in our Faculty. The first winter class did not graduate until 1892, because prior to this date a school term was a year ' s work. While one hundred classes were passing through the school, the growth in attendance made changes in school site necessary. Finally, in 1917, the present group of buildings became the home of our great institution of secondary learning in Southern California. Since that time, vast improvements have added to its beauty and efficiency. Most noteworthy of this new equipment are the Oliver swimming pool and the concrete east bleachers. Naturally, the large sums of money that paid for their construction left the school treasury somewhat depleted. However, plans have been made for the landscaping of that section of ground directly in front of the swimming pool entrance and between the two gymasium buildings. A concrete walk will be built that will be lined on both sides by turf. Trees and shrubs planted by the pool entrance and along the edges of the gymnasium buildings will complete these plans. Landscaping is but one of the many accomplishments that bare witness to the onward march of events in Los Angeles High School. The past semester saw the Romans engaged in many fields of endeavor. In addition to the Senior Vod and the delightful school dances, various types of assemblies helped to make the school year enjoyable. The football and basketball seasons were a source of pleasure to Student Body and Facfllty alike, for the Romans were once more taking the lead in these popular sports. The last football game of this season, the contest with Poly- technic, resulted in the coveted city championship. The school continued its gen- erous philanthropic policy toward the less fortunate boys and girls of other sections, and succeeded in bringing to the hearts of many the joy that otherwise would have been unknown to them. In reviewing the many achievements of the past term, we feel certain that the successful manner in which the administration was handled will act as an inspiration to the classes of the future.
