FCREWORD RIENDSHIP between nations is one of the shortest roads to peace. It is the people who feel the sting of war and the desti- tution of a ravaged country, but it is also the people who feel the warmth and security that amity brings. Now the American people, whether they be ambassadors speaking for their country or eager individuals seeking personal alliances, are striving toward a moral tie throughout the world of nations. Such individuals are we at Westridge, as we learn to under- stand and appreciate other peoples and their countries. During this year of international tension, as the world tottered on the brink of war, a step was taken toward this goal. Through our German exchange student from Berlin, Rosemarie Istel, West- ridge and its students have made many new friends by way of mutual school organizations and letters sent between Pasadena and Berlin. As the school year ends, we are content in the knowledge that, in this way, Westridge has contributed to the universal campaign staged by peace-loving people in every nation of the world.
