Miss Welvertengs Greeting To the Class of Summer '36: When men speak of peace, al- ways there is a sinister contrast hovering in the background+war. No one of you is too young to real- ize the vibrant words of Tenny- son, spoken seventy-six years ago regarding war. The children born of thee are sword and fire, Red ruin, and the breaking up of law. These two lines might Well be a text for the world history of the past twenty years. Tennyson, to be sure, was a poet and a philosopher. But what of the words of a victorious gen- eral - Wellington - spoken one . hundred and twenty years ago? Nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. Let us all write in our hearts and minds, and externalize in our lives, this inevitable truth: peace is not merely the absence of war, as light seems to be the absence of darknessg peace must be an active, dynamic, spiritual quality in the individual, multi- plied till it becomes the spiritual quality of the nation. For after all, countries are only citizens in the mass. Let us each one, then, be looking to our own consideration of the rights of other people-of our family, our friends, our neighbors, and emphatically, also of our enemies. Peace rules the day, Where reason rules the mind. e Your sincere friend, Girls' Vice-principal Mr. Nebllegs Greeting To the Class of Summer '36: The failure of the League of Nations to maintain peace in Europe makes the problem of international peace the most vital question before the world today. Treaties, agree- ments, and secret diplomacy previously have proved unavailing. The problem must be solved by the coming generation. The high school students of the present are the ones rnost d'irectly concerned, and i f they must succeed where their E elders have failed. Our country holds a commanding position in ' the matter of international rela- tions, and it is her duty in the interests of humanity to help formulate some hitherto untried and effective method of prevent- ing needless loss of life and suf- fering. . May some of you graduates of our high school be concerned directly in bringing about this most important factor in the development of mankind. Sincerely yours, Boys' Vice-principal nineteen .4 1---t 1, li ,

Principal Ernest Warner Oliver Miro Cilliivergs Greeting To the Class of S'36: A definite hope for ultimate and permanent peace is today stirring the minds and hearts of young people of America. The age-old thought that war is necessary in the settlement of international disputes is no longer believed by many of the younger states- men of the world. The frightful price of war in the loss of human life, property, and friendly relations is causing the leaders of today to insist that wars must cease. The necessity of a better understanding and more sympathetic attitude among nations is being considered as sane, wise, and absolutely necessary. The youth of today realizes that World peace will not come in a day, but that definite progress will come in the process of evolution. America and Canada today are living examples of the advantages of peace and mutual understanding. Friendly relationship among young people is taught through such agencies as the Olympic Games and the interchange of stud'ents among universities of the world. Education must teach the righteousness and reasonableness of peace, When the world realizes that geographical conquest and national selfishness shguld cease to be the predominant thoughts and activities of the human race, then a new age of constructive, friendly relationship will inevitably follow. A better world for boys and girls and men and women will come and' definite progress towards a richer and fuller life will prevail. To you, the members of the summer class of 1936, the largest class to graduate from Los Angeles High School, we are presenting a challenge that you become active participants in the campaign that will make America a leader among the nations of the world on behalf of ultimate world peace. With each succeeding generation there will come a greater sense of kindliness, social security, and prosperity. May God grant you the vision to give your best effort and thought to this noble purpose. Very sincerely yours, O . D eighteen
