IilBE.7Q1fmll II Miss Mattie Paine john Mangold DMINISTRATICN-This year the Woodrow Wilson High School celebrates the end of a five year period as a modern institution of learn- ing. During this time a galaxy of events has occured, two complete schools have arisen, and substantial advancements in the progress of education have been made. Criss-crossing the path of these achievements are the untiring efforts of the administrative staff, headed by Principal John L. Lounsbury. Under the guidance of these leaders, the Junior College has been housed in a separate plant during the past year, and a new athletic field has been started. A nationally recognized curriculum, constantly being improved by a corps of experts of the city system, is offered by the administration. It is exceptionally rich in the va-riety and usefulness of the courses which it extends. From aviation to Latin, from orientation to stage-craft, the old and the new are combined to present an unparalleled opportunity for students to equip them- selves for their life work. To the policy of keeping Wilson open always to experiments which will definitely advance education can be attributed this privileged and honored standing. John Mangold, Vice-principal, and Miss Mattie Paine, Dean of Girls, have direct charge of the manifold duties arising from the supervision of the great number of students who attend the Woodrow Wilson High School. Others serving on the administration staff are Dr. W. Klopp, Supervisor of Instruction, and Miss Sarah Mathews, Counselor- registrar. PAGE 22

THE THEME OF THE 'QDESERTN IS A MOST FITTING MOTIF FOR THIS EDITION OF OUR SCHOOL ANNUAL. THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS SECTION OF OUR GREAT COMMONWEALTH REPRESENTS THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF MEN IN OVERCOMING THE NATURAL DISADVANTAGES OF THE DESERT. OUR GREAT CITIES, FARMS AND FACTORIES ARE MONUMENTS TO THOSE PIONEERS WHO FIRST CONQUERED THE DESERT. THE SCHOOLS REPRESENT A PLACE WHERE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN MAY COME TO ACQUIRE THE ABILITY AND FACTS TO OVERCOME THE DESERTS OF THE HUMAN MIND AND BUILD MONUMENTS TO THE MEMORY OF WORK WELL DONE, TO THAT PURPOSE WE SHOULD DEDICATE OUR INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL EFFORTS. JOHN L. LOUNSBURY
