Page 8 Mr. Laurence A. Duffield, Principal A famous poet once described the present as A narrow isthmus 'twixt two boundless seas, the past, the future, two eternitiesf' To carry the analogy further, a study of history reveals the seas of the past to have been storm tossed, and a look into the crystal ball of conjecture shows turbulent seas ahead. Thus our isthmus of the present would seem to be awash on both sides. lt is rather surprising that the theme chosen for this yearbook should be one which turns your eyes backward, for young people are usually too concerned with the present and future to be interested in the past. Looking back even in fun will help you look forward with clearer eyes, for the past is a prologue to the future. Learn how the mariners of the past navigated those stormy seas: why some ships of state sank or were wrecked: why some won through. You may shrug your shoulders and say, I'm just one sailor among millions. Nothing that I do or leave undone will make any difference. lust multiply that careless indiffer- ence by the hundreds and thousands of other people too small-minded to see the whole picture, and you find out why some ships of state were wrecked. lust as careless indifference multiplied a thousand times will sink the ship, so will your industry and intelligence multiplied a thousand times bring it into port. Narrow it down to your own level. Start with yourself, and start now. The storms of the future will not capsize a ship where every sailor knows his duty and does it. -

The first Board of Trustees, fifteen in number, was elected in 1908, from the districts comprising the high school area. Among the first tasks to face the new Board was the erection of a high school building. A site, the present one, was chosen, plans were approved, and construction began. A little over a year later, the students gathered their books and marched, in the order of their classes, to the new buildinrg. Analy Union High School had progressed from a dream to a reality. NOW... Now, as then, our present Board of Trustees is concerned with a building program for Analy. The Board has been working very hard, in special meetings, as well as regular ones, to handle the multitudinous details involved in school building. It is expected that construction on the new gymnasium will begin in the fall of 1953. Mr. Crump, our vice-principal, is an exceedingly busy man. His duties and interests include nearly everything that pertains to Analy. Keeping the attendance records, faculty advisor to the student council, and handling student finance are among his more important duties. Regardless of his many dugties, however, Mr. Crump, first and fore- most, is the students friend-and cggnselorf this he considers his most important and most pleasant' duty. Page 9
