2 ]na ~b.IJ.al }JtWul In recognition of the tireless endeavors of Mr. Homer E. Cleary to direct and enlighten the destinies of students of McCiymonds High, the Indian staff takes pleasure in dedi – cating this annual to him. As a resident of Oakland since 1915, Mr. Cleary obtained most of his education here.

He completed his education at San .lose State College. Following graduation, Mr. Cleary taught at Havenscourt, then called Lockwood, later at Lincoln and Pres cot+.

Upon his retirement last fall, Mr. Cleary left this message to the students: My years at McCiymonds were the most rewarding of my life. The faculty has always been one of good fellowship, which makes for a happy school. During my 18 years I served under five principals. I shall never forget my stu– dents, some good, some not so good, some quiet, some noisy, but all fine kids and each contributed something to my life. I hope in some way I contributed to theirs. My great est wish is that they attain the best that life can offer. " The firm, friendly leadership of Mr. Cleary will forever kindle a glow in the revering hearts of all Mackites.

Dr. StuartS. Phillips, Superintendent of Oakland Public Schools Mr. Barney E. Hilburn Mr. Alan A. LindMly Mr. Melvin J. Caughell Mr. lorento N. Hoopes, President Robert l. Nolan, M.D. Mr. Carl 8. Munck Mrs. Jane McCaffrey The responsibility for administering a complete education is assumed by every high school in Oakland. A complete education involves much more than passing a few examinations through a couple of days of hard study. Education cannot be measured by grades alone. It must be measured by the over-all growth of the student. It is the policyof the schools that every pupil be educated on three levels : scholastic , physical, and moral. Only when attention is given to each of these phases, can a student become a complete well-rounded individual. Education can never be completed. It must extend beyond the relatively few hours the student spends in the classroom. To govern the needs of every student, the adminis– trators approve a well-balanced schedule of recreation and classroom instruction. The best, most thorough education possible, is offered at McCiymonds High School. It is indeed a privilege to say that every student entering McCiymonds can be assured the opportunity to grow scholastically, physically, and morally. 5
6 Counselors Miss Caro l Howe Mr. Edward Drya Mr. l illy Webster Dr. Edward France Mr. Sherman Hauser In helping students become successful, the largest part of the credit goes to the counselors and teachers for the time, thought, effort, and work devoted to the students. The administrators and faculty do not limit themselves to regular everyday work, but put themselves out to aid each individual student. They help many find jobs, acquire scholar;hips, and obtain financial assistance for many who are interested in going on to school. The counselors and teachers study each individual student and find his major interest so they can schedule him into the right classes. They are especially interested in what a particular student intends to do after graduation. The students at McCiymonds are very proud and appreciative of the fine guidance the counselors and teachers have given them.
