OUR TRUSTEES Every tree standing straight and tall in the jungle has beneath it unseen roots which make it grow, but which are never made beautiful or benefited by their own efforts. So is the task of the board of trustees. Like the roots of the tree, the board of trustees provides the foundation and means for advancement that make the school grow, Like the roots of the tree which give their aid unstintingly, they labor long and ardu- ously that we may have the best possible 'op- portunities for carrying on. The board was ,composed of Dr. C. C. Hunnicutt as president, Mr. C. A. Withey, trustee, and Mr. W. S. Duncan, clerk. Though We may seem ungrateful, we really do appreciate our opportunities, and realize the part the board of trustees has in making them possible. 'x

You will note that the theme pic- tures here in the jungle, and the scene of this jungle may very well have been the site of your own athletic Held or Whittier Boulevard a hundred thousand years ago. Certain it is that the very spot on which you are now standing was once the tragic hunting ground of the giant sloth and the saber-tooth tiger, in that dim, remote past out of which all of us somewhere have mysteriously come. From that to this! And by this I mean the annual you now hold in your hand, this marvelously interesting collection of photographs, art sketches, athletic records, school plays and all the other activities that go to make up the life of the average high school student. What a long, long road it is from that to this! So here is a thought that l would leave with the more seriously minded stu- dent to ponder. For some it may inspire respect for their own achievements and that of their fellow students. And that thought is this- That long, long road leading from our ancient jungle to our modern class- room was traveled at an untold cost. Wars, pestilence and famine through a thou- sand generations marked the road, but it always led upward until we encounter such men as Moses, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Lincoln and all that they stood for. All this past with its tragedies as well as with its achievements has been the price paid for the opportunities that offer themselves to you at this moment. The big question! What do you propose to do with this superlative legacy? IVIARKVR. IAcoBs.
