As a symbol of youth's opportunities-that American heritage of a free and liberal education-the Campanile towers over the University of California campus. In ideal it guards over all public schools with its emblem of equality, leadership, and individuality among students, because upon education is placed the great responsibility for the guardi- anship of the democratic philosophy. wa fa ww aww mf

A..- ,,,,..,.... . fb-1 jim NVillinms Frank Stone The Seniors of 1943 have just completed a year of rapid changes and many innovations due to those changes. Starting out the year with an enrollment of 278 seniors, the class gradually dwindled to about 216. At the time of this writing 35 boys had left for the armed forces. Many of these were guests of honor at the senior farewell dance on January 19. The definite lack of senior boys this year necessitated the choice of a play with a few men characters. After searching for weeks the committee finally chose a comedy, Every Family Has One . Peggy Taylor, Bettie Moore, Jack White, and Merton Johnson were cast in the principal parts. Graduation was held on the afternoon of June 4 in the Salinas Stadium. Special mention was made of the senior boys now in uniform who were unable to be with their fellow graduates. fl OW . . . HQ?
