PRINCIPALS MESSAGE The theme ot our Traits Enct this year is very appropriate hecause a high schoot is ctevotect to progress through the ctevetop- ment ot each inctivictual. Progress, which may appear to he a group accomplishment in some cases is, in the final analysis, always an outgrowth ot inctivictuat contributions. There are many challenges for our tuture citizens to tace it progress is to continue. It is gratifying to know that our American schools are titled with young men and women who have their teet on the ground anct are looking torwarct to taking their place as tuture citizens. They are not afraid and have faith in our country and confidence in its future. Let us hope this Annual will always he a remincter to you of El Monte High Schools part in the future ot America. When you turn through these pages in years to come, white your minct will inevitahty turn hack to 1954, remember also that att your yester- days were intended to he a preparation tor the contrihutions you can make toctay.

MR. B. L. BERGSTROM District Superintenctent SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE Progress is not always easy to evaluate ancl it is only lay comparing the past with the present that we can tell whether we have movect in a direction in line with our hopes and plans. The Traits Encl affords us an excellent opportunity, through worcl and picture, of making this interesting Comparison. The events that went into the malcing of 1955-54 year hoolc have now been recorclect. They have heen written in inclel- ible inlc and cannot he changed. We cannot unclo a single act nor recall a single word. However, this recorcl is hy no means cleacl. We can in the future, ancl many times will, turn hack the pages to view the story from a new vantage point with greater appreciation. Perhaps it will help to point the way toward the fulfillment of our lite story as we have clreamecl it. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Nlr. Lloyd Dancer, Nlr. Alfred Von Nyvcnhcim, lxlrs. Esther Peake, Dr. J.
