The Sutter Creek Union High School is one of the high schools of the state that has a record to be proud of. Its record of progress and remarkable achieve- ments covers the short period of twelve years. For it was just twelve years ago that the high school began. It was begun on a small basis, the attendance being small and the educational advantages limited. Year by year, however, improve- ments have been made so that now the high school has unlimited educational facilities and stands in the A list among the high schools. At the beginning of the fall term the attendance was greatly increased by the extension of free transportation to the Volcano, Pinegrove, and Shenandoah districts. Although these districts have always been included in the Sutter Creek Union High School District and have helped to maintain the school, they have never been able to enjoy the benefits of the school on account of the lack of conveyance. This year, however, three new Graham Bros. busses were purchased to accommodate the students, making a total of four busses operating. Not only has the year l926 shown an increase in attendance but also advancement in all lines. The greatest development, however, has occurred in the athletic field. Three years ago the school joined the California Inter- scholastic Federation. Thus our teams were given an opportunity to meet teams from outside the county. The first year, through lack of football Held, gymnasium, and other athletic equipment, our school teams could do but little more than enter school contests, but with the preparation of a good football field and the building of a locker room and showers, a more active competition was insured. - The second year showed great improvement. Due to injuries and sickness the football team won but half of its games. In basketball, we won our league championship and advanced to the third round in the state elimination contest. - The third year brought forth a team that was unequalled both in this county and in surrounding counties. After many victories, the football. team won the C. I. P. trophy for the Northern and Central California championship. The basketball team did no less notable workg although they did not win the northern championship, they were runners up in their event. Athletics this year have created a wider interest in the school than was ever before displayed. Through this means the Sutter Creek Union High School has received a place which we hope to hold in the future. School spirit has also played a large part in the school life. The students have worked diligently to make records for themselves and consequently to place the school in the highest rank possible. -The Editor. lNi11cj

PRINCIPALHS' MESSAGE As each year closes and the time for graduation is drawing near We pause to look back over the results that have been accomplished, to gauge the measure of our successes with the ideal we have held before us. We recall good times, our social affairs, our athletic victories, in Which we took so much pride, and our successes or failures in the subjects we have taken, and then We should attempt to discover what it all means to each of us as individuals. Each of the groups mentioned has contributed something, each has been important in its way, each has its purpose. Our good times and social affairs will soon be but pleasant memories and the actual events will eventually be forgotten, but they have a moulding effect on our characters, teaching us the social duties. as well as promoting our friendships. Our athletics have promoted clean living, clean sportsmanship and team work. Our studies have opened vast fields of possibili- ties, stirred our interest and increased our ambitions. ln all of these we are laying the foundations of our characters. Good citizenship, honesty, loyalty, dependability, sincerity and service to others are the mileposts along the way. If our years in high school have promoted and the future will unfold beautifully and successfully. -J. A. Bryson. l'I'en1
