WhaT painsTalcing acTiviTy, whaT rislcs accompanied The laying oT The sub- sTrucTure oT The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge-The greaTesT under-waTer engineering iob ever underTalcenl EighTeen monThs of dangerous work, The loss oT Twelve gaIlan+ lives are wriTTen inTo The hisTory oT This bridge's TiTTy-one piers. These invisible sky- scrapers are TorgoTTen enTirely when we view The loTTy Towers proudly rear- ing Their heads heavenward, unmindTul oT The mighTy piers on which They resT. So iT is wiTh many oT The acTiviTies oT our school liTe. They do noT app-ear on our reporT cards, They are noT re- corded on our grade TranscripTs Tor college, yeT They play an all imporTanT parT in laying The -ToundaTion of our success as TuTure leaders in our counTry. Our Teachers, The engineers who supervise The varied worThwhile acTiv- iTies oT our clubs and who coach us in our dramaTic and musical producTions, realize only Too Truly how necessary This parT oT our school life is To our suc- cessful careers as useful ciTizens. LeT noT Those who view us only Trom wiTh- ouT our porTals be unmindful oT iT!
