Foreword SPINDRIFT--spray swept by a violent wind along the surface of the sea--this we have chosen as the narre for our yearbook. For each one of us is indeed a bit of spindrift swept across the tumultuous sea of life towards our destiny. The last yearbook produced in Oceanside High School was published nine years ago. The staff of this 1941 issue of SPINDRIFT has chosen as its aim the presentation of the most graphic and literal picture of Ocean-side High School as it is possible to give in the short time at its disposal. Since the decision to publish SPINDRIFT was made late in the year, the staff has been extremely rushed, and we have had to concentrate our efforts to the utmost. Nevertheless, we believe we have succeeded. There are nearly six hundred students in Oceanside Senior High School, each one a separate and individual part of the school. There is also a wide range of curricular and extra-curricular activities. Altogether their adequate presentation is a formidable task. We are certain that those of you who read this will understand. SPINDRIFT is the yearbook of Oceanside High, designed and edited by students. From the planning of the first dummy to the final paste-up of each individual page the staff members have been free to act and do as they have judged best. We would like toextend our thanks to everyone, including the faculty members, the students, our advertisers, and others outside of the school, who have helped in the preparation of SPINDRIFT. Without their aid and cooperation, the publication of SPINDRIFT this year would have been im-pos s i b1e. 5
