i..li. I 'age Six MANZANITA YOUTH Lithe of limb. on woodland path youths race, And hand in hand or each alone they trace The foam flecked line of waves upon the beach. Cn roadway far and air lane high they reach In minutes spent at murmuring motors' speed The goal of weary yesterdays. Nor heed They sorrow borne by flowers when in their haste They gather passing joy, nor count they waste Of mighty strength by Earth and Moon and Sun Long spent to wake the winds and cause the tides to That bathe the feet of loiterers on the strand , Nor reckon they the weary brain and hand And spirit brave that conquered space for man. And compassed hours within the briefest span. Maturity will bring them wisdom's sight: They then will reverence what is past and right. Now 'tis theirs to own the jeweled dew, And seek in lighted valleys beauty new, To bare their breasts to Natures lavish power. And scorn the ones who in her presence cower. Awake they dream and in each dream design Structures bright and rare, in Hlmy line. Tomorrow when as craftsmen they will lift Their arms in labor they will build a gift That they and God now plan and soon will give As heritage to those who next will live. WT. S. MACQUIDDY, .l1 full Superintendent of Schools I-9-3-l -.-.-

MANZANITA - YOUTH AND THE COMMUNITY EALIZING that, although they are nearly mature young men and women, the students of the high school can not carry out their work and goals without the assistance of the older heads and the greater resources of the com- munity, the Manzanita Staff has dedicated this page to the spirit of co-operation which has existed between the school and the community during the past year. The students of the high school represent a portion of the Youth of the community and in their endeavor to become responsible and capable men and women, are glad to receive the help and guidance of older people. We are very grateful to the local organizations, service clubs, firms, and individuals who sent our band to Sacramento: to the local clothing stores who assisted the senior and sophomore classes in selecting their sweaters and pennant, respectively: to the furniture and department stores who so generously lent materials for the presentation of the Oral English plays: to the Soroptimists who placed twenty-two commercial girls in local oflices during the Easter vaca- tion, giving them very valuable experience: to the newspapers. who have given the school much valuable publicity and also space for the Black and Gold, our school weekly, throughout the year: to the Police Department, who assisted greatly in getting the School Traffic Patrol on the road to success: and to the merchants. whose advertisements support the Manzanita year after year. The Chamber of Commerce has co-operated many ways with the school also. We owe sincere thanks to the many prominent men of the community who have so graciously responded when asked to speak at our assemblies, and to the community as a whole, which gave such Wonderful support to our ath- letic teams. I We also appreciate the kindness extended our various classes on their visits to commercial houses and industrial plants in quest of first-hand information on the methods and processes of the practical side of their studies. The Agricultural Department have also visited many farms throughout the valley where they gained practical experience very valuable to them. And the most devoted service of all has been given to the school by our good Board of Trustees. They have worked untiringly, efficiently, and intelli- gently to maintain high standards, to preserve the best of American institutions, to develop- Ideal Youth. -WARREN MCFADDEN, President of zhe Student Body.
