A John Montoya Pre§M©eit 9 § Message Our generation must advance and create more than any other age since time be- gan. Let each of us of the 3875 students of Los Angeles High School, who are only a small part of the youth of America, make use of the valuable and unlimited human resources we have, in order that our generation may progress still farther than those preceding ours. Students, now, are being taught and trained by the most modern and scientific methods that man has ever devised. Such men as Pasteur, Marconi, and Edison be- came internationally famous in a generation which is considered far below ours in educational opportunity. Therefore, with the examples of these men before us, and with the educational advantages we are offered, shall not we, the youth of America, be equal to the task of taking control of the government, business, commerce, and education, and also of developing and creating masterpieces in the fine arts that we may make America a greater nation than it is now? The graduates of our colleges form a group which is a source of supply for the future great men of America who will lead our country out of the dark pits of the depression. The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. We may have the train- ing and the ability to be leaders, but will we take advantage of our opportunity? Opportunity. What a world of meaning there is in that word! Our fathers and fore- fathers had had very few opportunities for scholarship. On the other hand, the schools of America present hundreds of avenues for advancement to the youth of today. Let us, then, grasp these opportunities, and do with them all we can to better America. Speaking of opportunities, Romans, I want to pour out to each and every one of you the gratitude that is in my heart for the opportunity of serving Los Angeles High School. Throughout the term, I have received from you fine co-operation and the real Roman spirit, which have helped to make the semester of W ' 35 a success. With deepest sincerity, JOHN MONTOYA 1 1 i ni ii-l a a

Division Presidents 9 Messages During our stay at Los Angeles High School, we seniors have had many oppor- tunities for true development offered to us. Knowing that our advantages here will never be paralleled, we leave with the hope that we have used them well. I am sin- cerely grateful to you for the wonderful privilege you have given me to be of ser- vice to you this term. BETTY LEABO The true wealth and resources of Amer- ica lie in its youth, from whom must come the leadership needed to carry out the plans for an ideal country. May we apply the teachings and the knowledge obtained at Los Angeles High School to the end that we may possess this needed leadership. Your friend, H. DEAN OLSEN Board Presidents 9 Messages Leadership is one of the most important of human resources, and high school life offers opportunity for the development of this ability. Here a true leader is able to follow as well as to guide. Therefore, let us possess true leadership by following the dictates of our country ' s ideals, and by extending these ideals still farther to others in America. BARBARA DAVIES During this past term, I have derived much pleasure and gained valuable exper- ience through my work with the Boys ' Senior Board.
