How Can I Make My Interest In City Produce Best Results? By Thomas Holmes Walker Sooner of later every person in Anaheim—home owner or renter—answers the question as to his personal interest in the welfare of our city. The answer may be in mere words—boosting or knocking, or, it may be in deeds—constructive or destructive, but the answer will surely come. It is difficult for some of us to consider unselfishly the welfare of the city apart from our own success. But civic consciousness is essential if we would have our city grow, be happy and prosperous. My personal welfare is inseparably tied up with the welfare of the city in which I live and do business. There may be some who fatten on the city's degradation and poverty but they will be reeased with in time. The only question each citizen should ask himself is—How can I make my interest in the welfare of Anaheim produce the best results?" The honest answering of this question will lead to a consideration of the city's present resources and its manifest needs. Anaheim can offer advantages and conveniences in climate and location second to no other city in California. Business advantages and recreational opportunities suited to every ambition and taste; educational institutions among the best and homes most comfortable and attractive compel our approval and allegiance. Merely eating and sleeping somewhere without a thought as to environment or possible satisfaction of the intellectual and spiritual desires is not to be considered by one seeking the welfare of the city. Nor can we be truly happy and prosperous unless each member of the community shares with us our advantages and blessings. Is it nothing to you that your neighbor lacks your advantages or abilities; that he lives in a shack while you live in a comfortable home, that his children are growing up under evil surroundings while yours are carefully shaded and nurtured, that his roundings are vile while your beautiful? If selfishness is individual is reprehensible more so in the community that distinction make for the "and the human dump." Are we quite excusable we hold noses as we go by miserable dwellings of the city, act with an air of suspicion toward them and needles? God pity the city that fishily neglects any group of inhabitants, that hits a man cause he is down, or tamps him because he is weak. No blooded American would stand that as between individuals on street. Much less should we sit in our community activities "Dump" is a most unsightly usually placed in the environ the city—let us remove it. A man dump" is far more unlikely. Let us have courage end and sympathy enough and humility enough to remove that to the only effective way.

Neighborly sympathy and understanding it the outstanding need of our city today. It is not to be bought with money nor can it be displayed with pride. It is the free gift of service in sincere love of another. Where there is class selfishness there is bound to be discontent and unhappiness sooner or later, involving the whole com-munity. An epidemic may start where we have planted our neglect—an epidemic of disease physical or disease moral—but who will be able to confine its evil approaches. The avenue is equally in danger with the alley. "No man liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself." It may seem to the reader that he has no contribution to make toward neighborhood betterment and the removal of these happy conditions. Organizations as such cannot effect the change unless they reflect the sympathies of men whose hearts are consecrated to the uplift of the man who has fallen and the giving's chance to the neighbor who is burdened and handicapped beyond his powers. Every interest of the city joined together in a sympathetic intelligent approach to the city's problem and duties will be necessary for the accomplishment of this high purpose. To this end is the Chamber of Commerce. It is far more than a cold-blooded business organization looking only to the temporary advantage of business turnover. It is a real human interest in the welfare of the citizens—of all the citizens whatever their financial condition or the mental and social equipment with which they live among us. If it is true to the best interests of the city, the Chamber of Commerce will seek to make every citizen and inhabitant a contributor to the welfare of our city rather than a drag. A man never dies as long as his ideals live, neither does a city. Ideals worthy of a man cannot long ignore the other fellow. When as individuals we have learned the lesson of service and have practiced it, coming into something of th real joy of living, than we shall make worthy serviceable members of the Chamber of Commerce and be ready to "keep step" with the rank and file of the soldiers of progress; be ready too to lend when we are conscripted for hard service in the battle with the forces that would FILL AUDITOR AT GRADUATE Speaking before the uniting class of Anaheim a capacity audience, Dr. Klein Schmid, president declared that application of the big words that stressed by high school Application to one's wish portant if one wishes He said that a college was not particularly that one may be self-efficacy the right practice and study.

S., and a capacity audience, Dr. Rufus von Klein Schmid, president of U. S. C., declared that application was one of the big words that should be stressed by high school students. Application to one's work is important if one wishes to succeed. He said that a college education was not particularly necessary, that one may be self educated by the right practice and kind of study. Colleges and universities are more largely attended each year and, in a few years, it will be possible for all who desire to attain a higher education to do so. The speaker was very enthusiastic and supplemented his talk with many bits of humor. He had occasion to remark that this was his first trip to Anaheim H. S. and destroy our city, or, are asked to give our best in time and thought and purpose to the building of its enduring foundations of happiness and prosperity and welfare. As valedictorian and salutatorian, Miss Marie Meyers and Inez Morris expressed their appreciation in behalf of the faculty and parents who have labored to give the students the opportunity to go to school and to attain the goal reached last night. Joe Schwienfest presented to the student body, from the senior class, a beautiful stage set. Francis Bode, president of the student body for the coming year, accepted with graceful thanks, stated the set would be used to great advantage and would be a happy reminder of the class of '24. The solos of Elvin Grauer and Miss Jane Ostrander were very good as well as the duet of the Misses Constance Williams and Edna Baumgardner. An instrumental trio, "Told at Twilight," by Miss Otilla Mikesh at the piano, Alan Rafns, violin, and Elizabeth Donnelly, cello, was well received. Prof. J. A. Claye told of the record in scholarship made by the class and how proud he was to introduce the graduates to S. D. Winters, who then presented the diplomas. Rev. A G. H. Bode gave the benediction and with the class singing "Recessional" and departing to the lobby, the commencement exercises for the class of 24 came to a close. The graduates made an impressive scene, marching to the stage, with the girls in their attractive white dresses and the boys in dark suits. The stage was attractively set, with a huge wreath of gel carnations with green intertwining and on the back curtain, in the center were the letters "1924." Special mention should be given to eight of the graduates who are members of the California Scholarship Federation—Marie Meyer, Inez Morris, Willard Findley, Catherine Boego, Marjorie Pibel, Herbert Drake, Mildred Mauerhan and Arthur Boego.
