Page Eight MR. ARTHUR G. ANDRESEN, Principal, is cost as our ZEUS, the ruler of all on MT. OLYMPUS, the promoter of moral law cmd order, of social virtues, of friendship, of hospitality, and of family ties. To know the history of early Greece and to understand the philosophy of her people is to appreciate fully the Wisdom of your editorial staff in their selection of the Grecian motif for this yearis Crimson and Gray. In ancient Greece were laid the foundations for many things that We today consider essential to culture, to learn- ing, and to life. Much in literature, art, and science had its beginning in her civilization, and the Grecian influence in these fields has been strongly felt through- out the centuries. The games and sports of the Greeks, and their standards of fair play and sportsmanship, are with us not only in the modern Olympic contests but also in every type of athletics played today. In Greece was the beginning of demo- cratic government and from her people came the first concepts of democratic citizen- ship. Even today the Athenian oath is used as the pledge of community service by the Ephebians of high school graduating classes. There were, to be sure, many defects in the ancient Greek form of government. and it was largely because of these that the glory of ancient Greece came to an endg but we today can build upon a knowledge of her shortcomings just as we have so firmly built upon all that was good in her culture and philosophy. Yes, your editors have been Wise in their choice of a theme for the publication which is to become a record of the activities in a school of today. A. G. ANDRESEN Principal Van Nuys High School
