Maintaining and extending the Pasadena High School tradi- tions of scholarship and school spirit, along with setting the new tradition of beating Muir, signifies the year T962-63. This year also marks the culmination of the first three years on our new campus. The seniors have endured and been challenged by the growing pains of our campus and have set goals for future students to achieve. However, it is up to future students to work harder and to set even higher goals as they too climb the ladder of education. To you, the student body, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks and appreciation for your support throughout my term of office. Because of your increased interest in student government, this year has proven rewarding and successful. Fw Que-M ln the history of our new school, T962-63 will be remembered as the year of culmination marking the first three year graduating class. The goals and achievements of a student body officer are con- gruent with the needs of the students. The maior goals pursued by this year's ASB Cabinets were an improvement of communica- tions and the further development of the Rep Council. Before you are other objectives, many as yet unrealized-improving the rela- tionships between students and faculty in extra-curricular activities and expanding the scope of student publications. On behalf of the spring ASB Cabinet, l wish to express to the entire student body our thanks and appreciation for the active support given us in pursuing our goals. 7 mop
