Ax,-ZlC'Il!lllj K3 reelzrzgs rom i A ' nel The students of Auburn Academy in preparing this annual have planned to give friends and prospective students a picture of the school in its various activities While for the last few decades character building has been out of fashion in most schools. the outstanding aim of Auburn Academy is character development and the instilling in the hearts and minds of young people a love and appreciation of Christ ian ideals One of the purposes of this school is to prepare students for college. Another purpose is to give a practical and cultural education to that large group of young people who for one reason or another will not attend college. Experience has shown that more than half of the new students who enroll each year will never have the op portunity to benefit by what the college has to offer. VW feel a real responsibility for these young people and offer. along with the regular college entrance curriculum. sev- eral courses such as commerce. agriculture, woodwork, and. above all, interesting Bible courses which will help students to become useful citizens and leaders in Christian service. As you glance through these pages. we trust that you will receive an inspiration to come to a school where students may practice the real business of living while pur- suing their preparation for greater usefulness. As a representative of the faculty. l wish to extend my personal invitation to you to come to our school. A. J. Olson.

While this dam is second in height to Boulder it contains three times the amount of concrete used there. This structure would build a monument as high as the Washington monument with its base covering six city blocks, or sufficient concrete to pave two roads twenty feet wide from coast to coast. This gigantic piece of masonry will hold in control the water of the mighty Columbia from its source 616 miles above. The power plant established here will generate 2,420,000 horsepower. The irrigation project in connection with the dam will provide for irrigating 1,200,- 000 acres. Before erecting this dam it was necessary to remove 18,000,000 yards of dirtg 1,000,000 yards of rock was excavated. In general from six to ten feet of weathered surface rock was removed to prepare for the foundation. This foundation was repeatedly tested by diamond drill holes. The engineers, recognizing that the en- tire super-structure depended upon the foundation, made every provision to assure the lasting strength of the foundation. So it is in life. Success for this world and the world to come must be based upon a proper foundation. Auburn Academy, founded to promote the cause of Christian education has proven in the lives of young people a mighty instrument in helping them to establish their lives upon the sure foundation of Christianity. The Board and Faculty purpose that this work shall continue to be the outstanding ac- complishment of this institution. C. A. Scriven. 6
