I-IEREAFTER It's up to you. The coming generation of Manual Arts. We are on top, let's stay there. Will it come to the time that Manual will not be able to lose. Will the time come that you will not turn out unless your team is victorious. Remember Los Angeles High School, there is your example. Play the game hard in your studies and athletics, and play it straight from the shoulder. Manual Arts is an infant, five years olcl. What will she be at ten years? It's up to you, the stuclents of Manual Arts. For all of us together, in all sorts of weather, For you and I together, will try To establish for Manual Arts the reputation of a High School for work, a good winner, but a better loser. Your President, LANGDON SMEAD.

NOW You know what Manual Arts is today. The leading and finest- equipped l-ligh School in Southern California. What more do you want? Look around you at the facilities, the equipment. Beautiful, spacious, clean, white buildings, surrounded by beautiful lawns and flowers, that will soon be a tangled Fairyland. With the largest seat- ing capacity and stage of any high school in the world. Our athletic field, manual shops and print shop, tennis courts, truck gardens and cafeteria. Anything else. Yes! Two things which, without them, Manual Arts would not exist, our Faculty and our Student Body-the best set of men, women, girls, and boys ever gathered together under one roof. i What a change! We appreciate the artistic and beautiful things of every sort. In conduct, we are ladies and gentlemen. On our school was thrown the dregs of the other high schools, those that were to be given another chance. Can you imagine what Manual Arts had to labor under? But the garden is weeded out and Manual Arts has a clean reputation.

To successfully edit a book with these proportions it is necessary that much time be put on its preparation. The staff earnestly believes that it has spent all the time necessary. There are some mistakes. There are some places where, if the book were to be printed again, some revisions would be made. We have tried to treat everyone fairly. No one who has asked for recognition in the present Artisan has been refused unless the staff has believed it has had sufficient reason for doing so. No attempt has been made to produce a laugh on every page. We believe that those magazines which have humor reduced to a science should have the Held. An annual is not one of these. The pages of the Artisan are filled largely with the activities of the gradu- ating class. This class is too full of the responsibilities which they are so soon to take upon their shoulders to wish that their annual be an enlarged edition of a popular humorous weekly. Many thanks are due the members of the faculty who have so enthusiastically helped us.
