Since the first year, 1953, new faces have come and familiar faces have gone. Each left a part of himself to Pacific ' s strong unity. This year thirteen instructors found their places at Pacific; each added his own quali- ties and talents. Our faculty represents 1185 teaching years, 470 taught at Pacific. From the twenty-four founding members, to the 105 today, Pacific has embodied a faculty, well-.seasoned by time and experi- ence. 1953: 24 out of 42 remain loyal Pacific High remained proud of its 24, out of the original 42, faculty members who have been at Pacific since its founding in 1953.
