ADMINISTRATION Mr. Carl M. Sebelius Vice-Principal THE Boys League is one of the major organizations of Redondo Union High School, and a few words regarding the work and aims will not be amiss. Many things can be accomp- lished in meetings of the boys alone that could not be as well done in joint meet- ings of girls and boys. We often have sings and pep meet- ings, which develop unusual enthus- iasm and good fellowship among the boys. Speakers come who understand boys and their problems to give talks especially suited to them. Our Boys ' Court aims to promote the welfare of R.U.H.S. by correcting boys who thoughtlessly destroy or mark school property, or litter the grounds. Many visitors have spoken of the neat- ness of our locker rooms, and we are very proud of the way our boys have taken care of them. We hope they will continue the good work and by the good example help newcomers and the very small number of thoughtless ones to care for our school and grounds. jourttrn The problem of planning a course of study for high school days, which will help a ' ter school days are over, is com- plicated by many uncertainties at the. present time. For those entering college the ques- tion is partially answered; but for the others, the situation is more difficult. Are you going to sit down and WISH? Alladin ' s Lamp is a myth. Wishing alone never furthered any one ' s plans. But WISHI NG and WORKING are an unbeatable combination. Substitute a backbone for a wishbone and noth- ing can prevent you from accomplish- ing your purpose. But have a PLAN! College, if possible; but libraries are convenient; books and magazines are cheap; and night schools are available. Make the best of what is offered you. I wish good luck in all you attempt to those of you who are leaving, as well as to those who remain. Miss Carolyn Kyes Registrar m

Prtnripal ' a iflUfiBage Dear Pupils of Redondo Union High School: ANY times in your high school days as you left the building, you passed along El Camino Real, the great and famous highway established by the Mission Fathers many years ago. This highway was the link between the various missions founded by Fa- ther Serra and his co-workers, who brought a rich inheritance from the old world and gave it to the Indians, the original inhabitants O- this district. The Padres established schools and became the first great teachers of the state. They gave to their pupils an acquaintance with the learning and experience of the past, and through handcrafts prepared them to take their places in a more gentle and refined society. Just so are the public schools of Cali- fornia attempting to give it to you, in these later and modern days, a glimpse into the history and background of modern life in order that you may pro- fit by it in adjusting your lives to the present day world. The community has spent ' large sums of money in giv- ing you a beautiful school, well-equip- ped for a varied program of work, and good teachers to instruct you so that you may lead larger and more fruit- ful lives than those of your fathers and mothers. Are you improving your time? Do you take every opportunity to widen your knowledge, broaden your sym- pathies, discipline your character? In such measure as you do these things, will the community feel repaid for its investment, and by the services which you render to others, both now and in years to come, will you be judged as a true representative of Redondo Union High School. Sincerely your friend, Aileen S. Hammond

ADMINISTRATION I 0 the Seniors and students of R.U.H.S. who are to bear the re- sponsibility of further building and de- veloping the standards of our school, I ' d like to give this word. There are so many things I might wish for all of you such as success, and happiness, and luck, but instead I think I ' ll wish you courage which is th e basis for all others. We are facing a complex world, but with its problems it brings a greater challenge . . . Thus giving us all an opportunity to give the best we have, and use all the ingenuity, strength, faith and determination we possess. The world demands more, but it gives more. If we are willing and able to demand the best, we will receive the best. For Life is either the master or the slave. He can be a brutal master or an obedient slave. It all depends on the individual. I have no fear I have no tear What u in store ' or me Shall tin J me ready, undismayed : God grant my only cowardice may he .I ' nud to be afraid. Miss Doris Shelton Girls ' Advisor Mr. C. C. Martin Director of Evening School The adult educational work of R.U. H.S. opened Tues., Sept. 19, 1932 and closed Thurs., May 18, 1933. Why the evening classes? It has been said that youth is not a time of li.e — it is a state of mind. Whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every being ' s heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement of the stars, and star- like things and thoughts, the undaunt- ed challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what next, and the joy in the game of life. The purposes of our adult education program are to help in the task of building ideals of personal excellence into the structures of our civilization, to combat the notion that maturity is or can be safely fixed or complacent, to keep active the curiosity which is our human glory, to salvage lost skills and to give wisdom a voice. This tends to create in citizens of a community an active appreciative understanding of and a critical attitude towards the so- ciety in which they live, fijtcen
