These men represent the busiest men in the city, and their presence is an honor that cannot be over estimated. Having shared in their generosity, the interested members of the high school student body appre- ciate having such men in this capacity who spend so much of their business time in our interest, without the expectation of an ounce of financial gratitude, or even a simple apprecia- tion. These men of the Board are willing to assume the responsibility and suffer the criticism of a few of their less- informed fellow citizens in order that South Pasadena may have a genuine school system of efficiency that shall realize results. But the parable of the Sower holds good here and the School Board does have sincere friends in the Student Body, and we wish most heartily to extend our appreciation to the members of the Board of Education. The Faculty Scholarship is the weather-vane of efficiency in an educa- tional institution. In this achievement our high school con- tinues to hold an honored place among its fellow schools. Any school can appreciate such a standard before the eyes of business men, and can lay their claim to the honor; but any school cannot draw a check on the convictions of South-

Such authorities have placed South Pasadena in her present position. ern California educational authorities. This high grade of scholarship is dependent upon the Faculty, and when we realize our position, we cannot help but realize our responsibility to the standard which the Faculty have made possible. The Faculty’s interest in the student is not limited to the curriculum, as is often supposed by those who are not acquainted; but situated as they are, and having hearts of human sympathy or “understanding,” they hold as a funda- mental part of their business life the newer maxim, that they are here “‘to teach boys and girls, not to teach Latin and arithmetic’’; they have a vital interest in our welfare. If you are thinking that specific examples of the faculty's genuine interest in us are lacking, recall that time last winter when the teams, dusty and “‘all in’’ from the campus, had to clean up in a frosty shower and dress by the light of a couple of candles. The head of the Physics department put in the lights and secured the water heater; we, who wanted a bul- letin-board, have had our desires satisfied by the Manual Training department; our principal also presented plans for motion pictures, and in spite of the indifference of the students in regard to the proposition, he had enough initia- tive to put student indifference in the shade, and today the “movies” are a vital part of the school. This comradeship and spirit of helpfulness, manifested by the teachers toward the students, however, is having its effect, winning many good converts to co-operation. Stu- dents are inspired to grasp the purpose of lessons and to enjoy higher ideals. The Principal’s position in regard to MM ok Wace TA iy Bi Mle a » wai Wilden the “‘movies’’ reminds us of a few lines of poetry; read them over slowly and gather in their story:— ‘The world does not always rely on the chaps Who put up the smoothest appearance; They are often indeed very commonplace yaps, Sans intellect, just perseverance. After all, we are judged in our journey through life By the gray matter under our hoods, And the men who win out in the strenuous strife Are the men who deliver the goods.” Whenever we have the opportunity to put in our little word for the Faculty of our school, let us not forget our duty to them and what they have done to make ours a profitable education. WHY THESE DUTCHMEN Many readers of this Annual will wonder why this Senior Class decided to publish a Dutch Annual rather than the stereotyped Americanized publication so characteristic of ordinary high schools. The Dutch motif was the result of much study for an original, artistic and harmonizing element that would appeal to the average student without straining his somewhat overworked imagination. It is a singular fact that in high school annuals originality has hardly scratched the first strata. The origin of the Dutch idea dates back to June, nineteen fourteen, at the Junior-Senior Banquet. The zesthetic and gustatory appreciation of this occasion was so
