R. V. HILL 4 1, f. XXX Since the opening of Southwest in 1925, Mr. R. V. Hill, who retired last year from the teaching profession, earn- estly and successfully guided his students through the intricacies of physics and mathematics. All who knew him recog- nized his brilliant scholarship, his integ- rity of character, and his unswerving loyalty to his ideals. He won the love and admiration of his students and the respect of his fellow-teachers. Now that he has the freedom to follow the inclination of his heart, to enjoy the outdoor world which he loves, we, deeply sorry that he has left us, wish him long years of happiness. Physics Mr. W. Lawrence Cannon, teacher of science and mathematics, left us at the close of the first semester this year to become vice-principal of Paseo High School. As sponsor of the Student Council for many years, he guided the student body of our school through numerous trials and more numerous successes. By precept and example he taught us cour- tesy, tolerance, and loyalty, as well as efficiency in meeting our responsibilities. In both curricular and extra-curricular activities he always went to bat for us. In appreciation, we say to him from the depths of every heart, Good luck, Mr. Cannon, and thank you. Page Five W.

ENGLISH For a rounded education, no study can take precedence over that of English, our own tongue. By mastering its fundamentals, we develop the power of expressing what We think and feel. Through reading, we gain not only greater understanding of humanity, but also real personal enjoyment. Shakespeare, Tennyson, and others offer the intellectual pleasures which raise life above the commonplace.
