A HISTORY OF SUCCESS Eleven years ago El Rancho High School op- ened its doors. Since that first day thousands of young people have passed through our halls- halls which are becoming hallov ed with the tra- dition of success. Often as I walk through the halls and classrooms in the early morning or late afternoon, I hear the echoes of these former stu- dents. I can recall the El Rancho student who is now a professor at Harvard; I can recall the pesky runt who is now a marine biologist, traveling the oceans of the world; the non-conforming, outspoken editor of the El Rodeo who is now a teacher at El Rancho; the vivacious, friendly girl in the second seat, third row of my U.S. History class, who is now a mother of six children and is a happy housewife; the rash, independent Don quarterback who was nominated for the college All-American Football Team; the impetuous, fun- loving boy who is now a champion rodeo rider. These are but a few of the many El Rancho stu- dents of whom we are justly proud. They are graduates of El Rancho. They are successful and useful citizens. Honors, awards, championships, and trophies in abundance have been ours; but these are mere- ly means of establishing patterns of, and expec- tations for success in the El Rancho student, for the hallmark of El Rancho ' s success is what the students do after they leave our classrooms. Nolan L. Noble, Principal

if ' ' :a J Mr. Gary Ness Mrs. Renee Smith Miss Lois Winter Mr. Richard Schwang Mr. Rodney Stepleton: Head Counselor THE RIGHT PATH This past year has been the first for three of the five counselors at El Rancho. The other two have become tried and true models of the type of guidance officers all schools need. Together they make a fine team for counseling and guid- ing the students along the lines of their future planning, according to the basic preparations de- veloped through the years of schooling. We all know that educational foundations have to be strong and well co-ordinated in order to enable us to choose and absorb future studies necessary to the final successful commitments to our chosen fields. (A house built upon sand cannot stand.) Tests are given to discover each student ' s best attributes, and strongest interests, and to help and guide the counselors in giving the right ad- vice. These tests tell them in which fields the students have an interest and in which fields their aptitudes lie, also enabling them to advise auxiliary studies and practical applications of such. Without this information and guidance, many students would never make the grade in the field best suited to them. We know that our counselors have our wel- fare at heart, and therefore they act always in our best interests. I SA P4 - '
