The development of each age in American history has depended more upon the courage, the mental attitude, and the spiritual ideals of men and women than upon economic conditions. The faith of our Pilgrim Fathers has done more to make America a great nation than all the inventions of the Age of Technocracy. Individual initiative, determination, and a zeal for justice are as important now as they were in the pioneer days of the Forty-Niners in our own California. The New Deal must be a square deal in which truth and justice shall prevail. In the development of good government, every citizen has a duty to perform. The challenge for good government is vital today because all citizens realize the tremendous difficul- ties through which America is now passing. Your parents and your teachers have faith in your integrity, in your honor, and in your high ideals. We know that you are now preparing yourselves for active citizen- ship so that the America of the next generation will render more valued service to civilization than the America of the present generation. Our best wishes go with you. jg hse fourli

Miss Wolv©rtoim 9 § Message To the Winter Class of 1935— Greetings: You who represent the human resources on which our nation ' s future depends, you the more privileged because of your high school education, think well what kind of leadership you are about to offer to your country. For leaders you must be, whether of small groups, your relatives or neighbors, or of thousands. The problems of our times grow in complexity. Shall we surrender to Fascism because of increasing mental and moral atrophy in our individual citizens? To Bolshevism because of psychopathic un- balance in those same citizens? Or shall we retain our loyalty to the ideal of dem- ocratic government, which inevitably de- pends for its success upon the enlightened activity of earnest individual citizens? You will have your part in the decision. Sincerely your friend, Vice-principal Sarah Fobs Wolverton Mr, N©M© 9 § Messaii© To the Winter Class of ' 35: We give honors to the most brilliant scholars, cups to our winning orators, medals to our swiftest runners, and we make heroes of those whose courage has been tested in combat. We are sorry that we have no way of measuring the abilities of many hundreds of others who have tried and have given their very best in every activity that pre- sented itself and who deserve equally as much as the winners. I hope that the Winter Class of ' 35 will go on into other walks with that kind of an attitude — not merely to strive to gain honor or to win, but to work to the limit of their capacity, both mental and physical, regard- less of the outcome. Kindest regards, Vice-principal Ralph C. Noble fifteen
