With crude tent structures for classrooms and of- fices, all took the trick of fate of the March ]0, 19, 3 earthquake with a smile and prepared to push on in search of greater academic knowledge. Fired by the inspirational and untiring leadership of Principal Harry J. Moore, Wilson moved into the new quarters at the opening of school last Sep- tember. A change from last year ' s informal patio classes was made in Army fashion. Tents wete thrown up over night; equipment was hastily mov- ed from condemned buildings, and trenches were dug for the installation of heating facilities, in the mad rush to provide suitable winter quarters for the Wilson army, as state authorities declared die regular buildings were unsafe for occupancy and could not be rebuilt for some time. A total of 54 high school tents fluttered in die breeze on the athletic field in conjunction with the Junior College tents. The cinderpath straightaway furnished an avenue to the classrooms.

This year has seen the initiation of several new courses in an already extensive curriculum. As part of a city-wide plan of Integration under the genera! supervision of Superintendent of Schools H. S. Up- john, Wilson has developed two integrated courses, an English- World History course for all Sopho- mores, and Sociology-Public Speaking course for advanced students. The World History and Sophomore Fnglish teach- ers, with Miss Marv Hansen in charge, worked ouc a course wherein the contents of the two courses were combined and given a practical value. The combination Public Speaking- Sociology and Family Relations courses, directed by Wellington G. Pierce, provided courses of special interest. Mod- ern sociology formed the basis of topics for training in public speaking that took form ir five minute talks on current topics before city service clubs. Forty students were in constant demand for these assignments. The Long Beach school system has long been the subject of much interest due to its dauntless progress for a better education.

Those of the administrative body who performed outstanding services were Harry J. Moore, princi- pal, who through untiring effort supplied the im- petus which was essential for the success of the system; Miss Sarah L. Mathews, Counselor-Regis- trar; John Mangold. Vice-principal; Miss Ida G. Nolds, Dean of Girls; and Dr. W. J. Klopp, direc- tor of education. RECONSTRUCTION— Cooperating with the local school officials, P.T.A., and aovernmental agencies. Principal Harry J. Moore, has done much to hasten the reconstruction of Wilson buildings. After months of delay at Washington, Sacramento and Los Angeles, the local district patiently awaits the rebuilding for the opening of school next Fall. Wilson ' s reconstruction is part of the citv-wide re- habilitation of schools made necessary by the March 10,1933 earthquake. Rehabilitation was con- firmed by a 3,930,000 city bond election. Final figures for all c ity schools place the cost of work at 6.282,924. As this goes to press bids are being re- ceived for strengthening the Junior College science building and the shops.
