HAROLD L. GEAR, Superintendent of the Phoenix Union High School and Phoenix College District, addressing a capacity crowd at the Phoenix Tech Open House. gamma! this aulere group of pglicy makers. As all news stories can- not be happy ones, they gave us a real jolt when we read Tech was to be merged with Phoenix Union. We know they have our best interests at heart, though, and their decisions more often bring us added opportunities and privileges than heartbreak. The School Board represents the ultimate in service, for its members meet weekly and re- ceive no monetary compensa- tion. They are subject to more criticism than praise for watch- dogs of the treasury get it from one side or the other - for spending too much or not pay- ing enough. Their leadership and guidance is responsible for the national acclaim enjoyed by the Phoenix Union High School and Phoenix College District. MRS. F. A. BONS Clerk JAY HYDE DR. CHARLES s.

377044494 EVERY TRADE AND PROFESSION has its masterpieces. A story in the Arizona Republic Uanuary 24, 1955? told about a master watchmaker who had produced a thin, ornamental watch that runs backward. The master designed it and made every wheel, every shaft, every tiny part. It is a masterpiece of skill - the ultimate in craftsmanship - an inspiration to those Who are fascinated by creative mechanics. Yet, it cannot, by its counter- clockwise movement, recreate one moment of time. Books like this TECHNICIAN are like that watch - they can only retrace the past. Even though one cannot relive days that are gone we have memories of people and places, events and achievements, pleas- ures and pain. So backward, turn backward these pages of thine. Enjoy them. Think about them. Think not about what might have been, but about how experi- ences of the past can improve the future. Consider both failures and successes as milestones of progress toward an objective - the first, a stimulus to greater effort, the latter, a caution against rest- ing on the oars. Time runs out-We near the end of a road we have been traveling together. As we part may I wish each of you the best that life has to offer, may each of you find success in your chosen field and be a master of masterpieces. Aim,-Z77ZEh4q 6 l
