EDITORIAL g g g g 21 THE CAMPANILE At the time this 1927 Caerulea appears, another high school annual is being issued in Long Beach. This is the Campanile of the Woodroww' Wilson High School. Many of the staff members of the new annual were former members of the Caerulea staff. The seniors, whom it represents, are our former classmates. To all these, we extend our congratulations upon this, their achievement. It is the earnest wish of the Caerulea staff that the staffs of the Campanile, present and future, may successfully meet all their difficulties and problems, and that the Campanile may enjoy years of prosperous publication. FORWARD STEPS ' HIS 1927 Caerulea is dedicated to the idea of progress. It is, there' fore, peculiarly gratifying to note the advancement which our school has made in the past year. As we consider student activities, we cannot help feeling a thrill of pride over the unusual record made by our football, basketball, and waterfpolo teams. Despite the fact that they were the lightest team in the league, the varsity football boys took the Coast League championship by winning eight out of the ten games played. The Fighting Five continued this record of victories by winning the Coast League championship in basket' ball, defeating every team in the league by enormous scores. And when the members of the waterfpolo team became Southern California champions, the hopes of the most sanguine were surpassed. In debate, in oratory, in stockfjudging contests, in chemistry contests, and in fact in almost every other contest, Poly has acquitted herself with honor to the school. Yet the triumphs and successes of this year show something more than strength in athletics or proficiency in debate. If it were not for the loyal wholefhearted support Which the student body has given to all school activities, no team from Poly could have won a chamf pionship. Many forward steps have been taken this year, but the greatest advancement has been made in the improvement of our school spirit. This is the finest achievement of all.
