C I I First Dinuba High School Building-Now the Jefferson Grammar School. ?orewof-4 and Con ten tA This year of i949 is a memorable one for Dinuba Joint Union I-ligh School. Not only is i949 our state centennial year, but it is also our school's Golden Anniversary year. The staff of the Delphic Echoes has attempted to carry out the theme of Fifty Years of Prog- ress throughaut the yearbook. Footprints containing reprints of pictures from early edi- tions of Delphic Echoes mark each section of the book. Small footprints carry the reader through the annual, representing the beginning and the end of the anniversary year. This book is but a milestone to future great successes. We hope that this edition will serve as a memorandum in -the years to come. The l949 Delphic Echoes is divided into four distinct sections, titled as Classes, Cadets, Activities, and Sports. However, the book opens with the usual title pages and introduc- tory pages, including the administrative section. Then, following the Sports section, is an elaborate snap section, carrying the reader on through the sponsor pages to the end of the book.

C i Pzn pal and beam In spite of many discouraging sit- uations, such as no gymnasium, insuf- ficient funds, inadequate teaching fa- cilities, and numerous minor prob- lems, Mr. Morgan has made the best of the situation, and has kept the standards of Dinuba High on a level with other schools in the valley. The morale of both faculty and student body has remained high, due largely to his splendid leadershi l. D. W. N. PRlCE EDITH J. HAWKINS EDWARD D. MORGAN Under his guidance, plans have been completed for a new gymnasium and swimming pool, to be constructed within the next few months. So to you, Mr. Morgan, we say thanks. During his first year as Dean of Boys, Mr. Price has won the friendship and respect of all the stu- dents. He has done an outstanding job of keeping the boys in school, as well as helping them to solve their problems. Aside from being Dean of Boys, Mr. Price teaches Civics and Senior Social Problems. With this as her last year on the faculty of Din- uba High, Mrs. Hawkins leaves behind an enviable record ofa job well done, not only as a teacher, but more especially her more recent job as Dean of Girls. All the girls admire and respect Mrs. Haw- kins for her sympathetic attitude toward their problems, and her untiring efforts in their behalf. ln addition to her work as Dean of Girls, Mrs. Hawkins taught Sophomore English.
