Administration Working to excel in conduct, scholarship, and character, the Los Angeles High School has continued its record of advancement. We, the Student Body, are striving toward the ideal state where teachers, parents, and students are on the fine basis of friendship and respect. During these troublesome times, when war or peace is in the balance, our high school, having promising material, should produce leaders. The fine records of graduates should inspire us to greater deeds. We wish to thank our Hne Faculty who under the able guidance of our principal, Mr. Oliver, has fathered this school in all its activities. Our aud calls, this term, were as line as ever have been known in the history of the school. One of Mr. Geoffrey Morgan's fine speeches, which are always so appreciated, was given at the beginning of the term. Our new sound screen was given its initiation on March the 5th when Naughty Marietta was presented. On March 11, 12, and 13th, the Federal Theater Project presented the Bishop's Candlesticks, a classic drama, which was keenly enjoyed by the school. The 10th of March, we were honored in being able to entertain the Romilly Boys' chorus from Wales. They had been making a tour of Canada and were returning to England through Los Angeles. They gave us a fine program after which we showed them our school. This contact enabled us to become acquainted with these iine lads from across the sea. Later, Judge Leroy Dawson opened our Safety Drive with a very stirring talk, which aroused many of the students to our grave dangers and great responsibilities. Our annual R. O. T. C. honor inspection was held with hopes of again gaining the coveted distinction of being rated an honor school, which we received for the ninth time last summer. The enrollment of this school has been increasing until today we have 3937 students. The 105 English classes have set a new record of 3145 studentsg second are the 70 social studies classes with an enrollment of 2395, and the R. O. T. C. numbers 286 men. The Senior A class this term is the largest to ever graduate from L. A. with 782 members. Probably this will be the largest that will ever graduate from the halls of Rome because of the West Adams High School, soon to be built, which will draw some of our students to its doors. After our happy productive years here at Los Angeles High School, We now look with hopeful eyes toward a peaceful future in which we shallwork steadily toward our high ideals. Increase in size of graduating classes for every ten years. Date Boys Girls Total 1875 2 5 7 1885 10 16 26 W. 8: S. 1895 40 40 80 W.
