Elmsive Timm© A marvelous treasure, a priceless gem, Divinely placed within your hand Each morn — a gift of four and twenty Golden hours. For one lone instant, too soon gone, Time lingers, vanishes into That timeless, voiceless, silent age We call the past. Thus given like and like to all, More is never to be gained ; Once gone, sent far beyond recall — Lost paradise. Let it slip not through your hands, Unseen, unused, while idleness Consumes it wastefully. Be wise. Spend wisely. AXXE MARTINEAU, Bll

Principal Adimmastraitaoe The past semester has been one o£ the most notable in the history of the school. The official enrollment numbered over 3925 students. This is the largest number of students ever in attendance at Los Angeles High School during the sixty-one years of its history. A comparatively small Faculty of one hundred thirty-eight complete the organization of the school, making a total of over 4000 teachers and students. One of the very excellent features of the school is Its plan of student government. All the activities of the school are planned and completed by the students. This aids in the development of self-initiative and self-confidence w-hich will be of great use in later life. Through the co-operation of our principal. Mr. Oliver, the consti- tution of the school was revised and brought up to date and many new features added. This alone is a notable event. The athletic field was seeded, and a new tool house and new lath house were added to the campus. The R. O. T. C. was presented with the coveted Honor School rating for the eighth consecutive time at a review- held on Housh Field. The past semester presents a marked increase in the interest in mass athletics. L. A. is noted for its many types of teams. There is a team for every sport authorized by the Board of Education, and every boy and girl has the opportunity to participate in some athletic event. The school is now entering its sixty-first year, and the W31 Class will be the one hundred and second class to graduate from the old pioneer school. The high caliber of the school has been maintained by the excellent co-operation of the students and teachers. 23
