The outstanding features of this administration are the increased membership, which is the largest in the history of the organization, and the welfare work, carried on through an efficient chairman and her committee. Each semester the pupil with the highest average for the four years was awarded the 3525 savings account. The Music Department was given a donation of S15 toward the purchase of a drum, S10 as a nucleus to a scholarship to be used by a worthy student of Sunset High Music Department, and S25 worth of tickets to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. The graduates of each semester were entertained. The Year Book was published and delegates were sent to the district and state conventions. 'x

Ideals of Sunset As the gates slowly close on our high school career, we pause to look back over the short period of scholastic endeavor. In that one brief survey of the gain and loss of our graduation, we suddenly find it is the ideals gained here which have left the deepest impression upon our minds and hearts. Somewhere along the way we found the ideal of Fair Play. Perhaps the lesson that brought us that ideal was the hardest we ever learned. A little farther on we stumbled upon the ideal of Friendship. That was the sweetest lesson of them all. Farther down the road we learned the ideal of Sincerity. That, too, was a lesson not so easily learned. One milestone we passed when we learned to accept the ideal of En- deavor. That ideal exacted grit and good fight to pull us through. Then the greatest ideal of all came when we learned the value of Good Sportsmanship. The true man will play the sporting game to the end. He will not quit nor flinch at pain, he will not take advantage nor deny the victor applause and the conquered cheer. These ideals cost us Pride and Love of Self, perhaps more. But in che end we learned how dear to us the ideal is. It takes Fair Play to point the pathway, Friendship to keep us on the way, Sincerity to guard against the dangers, Endeavor to with- stand the trials, and Good Sportsmanship to help us reach the goal-a Fruitful Life.

Tublieity The Sunset High Dads' Club is an organization composed of fathers who have sons or daughters in the school and who are eager to promote the welfare of all persons and activities connected with the school. The membership numbers one hundred and fifty, and the zeal and energy are far in excess of the numbers. This organization has been zealous in securing physical equipment for the school and in developing a favorable community civic spirit in this section of Dallas. The Dads have secured the paving of Jefferson Avenue in front of the school, the building of a full width sidewalk in front of the building and a new walk from the east side to Oak Cliff Boulevard. Upon the athletic field they were as regular in attendance as our teams, and during matches they were as enthusiastic in rooting as any of our boys and girls. At our dances and entertainments they have turned out loyally and assisted as chaperones and have given a distinct tone to those events.
