'The Datmots ave ARRIVGO' This has been a familiar slogan in the Escondido community during this year.- -A highly successful Accreditation Report by the Western Association of School and Colleges, excellent academic achievement by students, vigorous participation in responsible student governmentg and rewarding exper- iences in co-curricular activities. All of this is very exciting and, indeed, important however, I submit that this 'com- ing of age' is most importantly expressed by a new sophistication which exemplifies the graduates of the class of 1968. Here and elsewhere we have been seeing an ever increas- g ing interest among students to become more directly involved in the operation of programs designed to meet student needs - and this is good! Excellent student talent, good judg- ment, and an abundance of genuine enthusiasm during the past four years have soundly established Orange Glen High School as a leading secondary school in this county. On behalf of the staff may I offer sincere congratulations and best wishes for a happy and successful future. We appreciate the part each of you has played in enhancing the image of the Patriots.
