Books are the most enduring monument of man's achievements. Only through books can civilization become cumulative. These lilies are carved on the facade of the Public Library in St. Louis. With the many interests and activities of our crowded days have we, the students of San Francisco's academic high school. really learned to read? We are justly proud of our scholastic, as well as our athletic achievements, but have we ever experienced the true delight, the deep joy, that comes with the reading of a good hook? Latin-America is the theme of our Red and White. Let us, therefore. take time to read books about the lands that lie south of us, and. through reading. learn something of their history, their culture, and their way of life: something of Cuba by reading Melamie Kei- serls Cod Returns to the Vuelta Abajof' of Guatemala from Louis Adamic's The House in Antigua, of South America from Peter Flen1ing's Brazilian Adventure. Ahove all, let us learn to read! Lenox' H. STEPHENS. Principal. 5

Il IE Il I l' ATO ll I A IDEDICATIONI Nineteen of the twenty-one republics of this hemisphere are Spanish-speaking. Thus, we cannot consider the lingual bonds of Pan-Americanism without paying trihute to those at Lowell who love and teach the Spanish language: Mrs. Bach, Miss Metcalf. Mrs. Oliver, Miss Osuna, lVlr. Vllillianis. The history of the great English-speaking nation of the Americas. the United States. has heen taught most often hy Mr. Cleghorn, the head of our History Department. and hy Mr. Alger. Mr. Moore. not only urges the importance of Pan- Amcricanism in his United States history classes. hut has guided the California Scholarship Federation toward this ideal. Nlr. Bass, teaching Economics and Economic Geography, stresses the ties of trade that link the Americas and the struggle for world markets that constantly renews their importance. To these nine men and women, and to those other disciples of Pan-Americanism among our faculty whom we have not had space to include. we dedicate this sixty- fifth edition of the Red and White, in grateful appreciation of their important isorlx. it

Glllllli Ili '0 IGOVERNMENTI SOL l'HWAItD we speed, along the highways of the skies, in great flying clipper ships which symbolize the an- nihilation of time and space and link the twenty-one Republics: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil. Chile, Colom- bia. Costa Rica, Cuba, San Domingo, Ecuador. Guate- mala. Haiti. Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay. Venezuela. and the United States. Wie visit lands of good neighborli- ness and friendship in the Wlestern Hemisphere where peace reigns-lands alike in their love of liberty, jus- tice and peace, and their respect for law and order. These are the principles of Pan-Americanism. Our American eagle iulites the emblems of her sister gov- ernments to symbolize the amity of peace-loving republics. The guardian of Pan-Americanism, the Monroe Doctrine. withdrew the Wie-stern Hemisphere from the field of European activities to a new and great destiny of their own. This historic document, a simple declaration of Ameri- can policy, insures the dignity and territorial integrity ofthe new world. From this new conception developed Pan-Americanism. Under the leadership of Simon Bolivar, the great South American Liberator. the first Pan-American Congress was held in 1826 in Panama. The headquarters of this permanent union are now established in Wasliington, D. C., a magnificent struc- ture. maintained at the joint expense of all the Republics. Thus - Southward to the lands of Latin-America and peace.
