DEDICATION lt is not only regret at leaving old friends among teachers and students which makes us pause and glance once again, a bit wistfully perhaps, at the same rooms and lawns and halls. Something of the years' slow ripening is reflected in all that we glimpse about us, somehow we are leaving o part of ourselves, the whispered triumphs which never quite came true, the soft glow of hopes fulfilled, the quiet vows we kept and sometimes broke,- voices which will greet us when we return, and greet others who will come after us. Near Monterey High School stands the Royal Presidio Chapel. There too, when you are still, you can hear the rustling of voices vibrant with thc glittering romance of the fiesta, and the charm and hospitality of the ranchos. They speak of patience and heroism, of spiritual exaltation, of unselfishness, of tolerance, of a medieval ardor for guidance. lt is with the hope that we too may some day tell as warm and vital a tale as do these ghostly voices of the past that we dedicate the 1937 El Susurro to the Royal Presidio Chapel of San Carlos de Borromeo de Monterey.

6 X r l FOREWORD Along the California coast, in green glades overlooking the seo, on rolling hills, windswept and cool, on arid, parched plains, or amber-colored slopes in a setting of wild flowers, the traveler may chance upon one of the old mission buildings. Ponder a moment the primitive building methods, the inaccessibility of materials, the unskilled, undisciplined workmen,-and the ancient walls become a triumph of construction. But the spirit displayed by the early fathers in the settlement of these California missions was really greater than the courage necessary to carry through their ambitions. Hardships and heartrending experiences through which they had to pass were in the end rewarded by the peaceful and enjoy- able existence which come to them for all these efforts extended. Such is life. As we struggle with our studies, we, too, meet with pitfalls and disappointments, but we must carry an as did the founders of these missions. As the fathers were rewarded, so will we meet with success. The path is not always sunshine and roses and though dark clouds may at times shadow disappointments and rough going ahead, we must be courageous and determined to carry on.
