Just as the missions of California were the center of community life in which the young were trained to perpetuate the mission culture, so at Mission High School are the students, as they carry on activities of life. following in the footsteps of the pioneers of old California. The padres taught honesty, good moral character, modesty, handi- crafts. trade and commerce, art, music, literature, history, and languages. So, too. does Mission High School teach these in the shops, commercial. music. art. technical, and academic departments. Throughout our journal we have attempted to show how our school, like the missions of old, prepares its memhers for life. We helieve that this theme is fitting hecause our mission heritage is an undying one. Our school is like the original Mision San Francisco de Asis. not in structure. hut in activity. It was the intention of the old Spanish padres to have the missions a day's journey apart along the coastal road called El C2llllill0 Real. FORE ORD The missions were the connecting points of California. The padres held clmrch services, taught school, instructed the natives in crafts and agriculture. and did many other things too numerous to mention. They have set a stirring example for all teachers who come to Mission High School. Therefore. we present as our theme the analogy between life as it was in the missions of old California and as it is today a M nklgligh School. , to . we in . va' r if 5 . 4 V V if gl V I if l I , .fs-by H jk-I u I f
