G. KELLY The request has come to me to continue the series of stories on the topic, After Graduation XXfhat? In several of my previous messages, I have cited cases of boys and girls who spent their undergradu.ue days at Mission, and who are now filling important positions. In this issue of the journal, l shall cite the case of Peter Mullins, now Superior judge. Peter was President of the Associated Students, Manager of the journal, and President of the Debating League. After graduation, he attended the Legal De- partment of the University of San Francisco, passed the Bar examination, and became a full-fledged attorney. Then, Peter was appointed an Assitant District At- torney, and later he was elected a judge of the Superior Court. The example of Peter's rise to fame may serve as an inspiration to some ambitious graduate who may wish to emulate Peter's success. VAKJ IW lil YI' MR. NEXVMANS MESSAGE The high school graduate thinks he shall find his diploma an open-sesame to all the industries. And, indeed, with the gradual tightening-up of conditions in this country, we have reached .1 place where that piece of paper is necessary before an application is even considered by most businesses. But, while it helps to get a job, it does not help to hold one, or to obtain promotion. For this, something else is needed. The diploma guarantees a certain time spent in school, and a certain number of courses passed, but very little as to the content of those courses. When you are dissatisfied with your pay-check, as everyone always is, remember that an increase will come if you make yourself more valuable to your employer. Added knowledge, added power, added ability--schools were established to give these, and San Francisco has many types of schools, Graduation should not mark a limit, nor even a gap, but only a step in your education.

DREW, PRINCIPAL, MISSION HIGH SCHOOL The success of Mission High School is dependent upon the success of its graduates, based upon the excellent teaching which they have received from their splendid teachers of our faculty. In the past year honors have come to our school through our semi-annual journal and our bi-weekly news- paper, The West Wing , as well as honors in the music department, art department, and R.O.T.C, In fact all of the departments have contributed their share in establishing the excellent standing of our school. The following tabulation indicates that Mission High Schools record at the University has steadily advanced and that it has been consistently the highest for all five periods mentioned excepting that in the single year 1956-37 one San Francisco school rated 1.56 as against our 1.50.
