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

F]r©§idl©et § Messai© Time is the God-granted raw material of creative effort. It is plotter of failure or builder of success. Its slovenly use breeds the criminal, incites the anarchist, molds the money-mad era of shallow pleasure seekers. Its perverted use embitters nations, plunges mankind into the hell of war. Time, honestly appreciated and wisely directed, has built our cities, spanned our seas, sung our songs, dreamed our visions of achievement. Thus, we of Los Angeles High School work daily with the stuff of success, time and its by-product, the odd moment. In our regular study lies the opportunity of acquiring the success-building qualities of perseverance, accuracy, and honesty. Extra- curricular activities stimulate versatility and maintain balance. Participation in these may vitalize a latent talenc and may hasten, with new ambitions, the finding of one ' s self and his work in the world. To the Faculty and Student Body, I am deeply grateful for their ready co-operation with the plans of the Student Government officers. More than all else do I cherish friendships formed here and the hope that they will endure. To be worthy of them, to strengthen them, I pledge my loyalty to the idea ' .s enshrined in L. A. High ' s in- spiring heritage. Sincerely. COOPER DAVIS 26
