A great school has been built at a cost of 351,500,000 on the site of the original building. A It has been said that San Francisco, which was destroyed by fire and earthquake in 1906, has risen Phoenix-like and triumphant. Like- wise has Mission High School risen from its ashes, Phoenix-like and triumphant. In the matter of a playground, our struggles and patient work, at this writing, seem to have been rewarded. The Board of Education on the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools has secured an appropriation of 585,000 for tl1is purpose. The Mayor, the City Mana- ger, and the Board of Supervisors have co-operated splendidly here. The Governor's Tree, the araucaria excelsis, was planted by Gov- ernor James Rolph. Jr.. on the school lawn in February, 1932, in honor of the bi-centenary of the birth of George Washington. By accident, or by a ruthless act. the top of this tree was broken off and the tree appar- ently destroyed. However, in emulation of the indomitable Mission spirit, the remaining small tree trunk. a mere stick, was planted in a box, nurtured and cared for in the girls court, until today it has re- grown a beautiful new top with a spread of about three feet-another example of overcoming discouragement and defeat. For years the din and roaring noises of the street cars as they pass the school have greatly interfered with all recitation and class work in the rooms fronting Eighteenth Street. After more than a decade of pa- tient endurance and argument with the street car company, we have to announce fwonder of all wondersj that, on October 7, 1935, the old street cars were removed and replaced with splendid modern, rubber- tired, trackless. trolley coaches. This innovation is the first unit of a modern noiseless street car transportation system which, we devoutly hope, will be extended to our entire city. Finally, the latest and most marvellous accomplishments in the world are taking place at our own gates: namely, the building of the gigantic Bay bridges. spanning greater expanses of water than have ever before been bridged, and the aerial conquest of the Pacific Ocean by the great China Clipper ship in a glorious round trip between San Fran- cisco and Manila. These are brilliant examples of overcoming obstacles -the result of Success with Character through Work and Education. THE MISSION 0 JANUARY 0 1936 Page Nine
