E) Molino A lion moved out of Analy this year. Trailing a banner of red, black, and white, El Molino’s mascot led approximately three hundred stu- dents from their temporary quarters here into a new school building at Forrestville. Careful and extensive preparations made the transition a relatively smooth one. Prior to their move to new quarters, students had framed a constitution, elected temporary offi- cers, and were busy planning future activities and forming several clubs. PAGE 9

ROGER ADAMS Principal, EI Molino NORVAL ADAMS Vice-Principal, EI Molino Herbert Hoover once said, “If America is to be run by the people, it is the people who must think. And we do not need to put on sack cloth and ashes to think. Nor should our minds work like a sun dial which records only sunshine. Our thinking must square against some lessons of history, some principles of government and morals, if we would pre- serve the rights and dignity of men to which this nation is dedicated.” Freedom is a great principle for people and a country. It entails responsibility and a contribution by each individ- ual. We hear a good deal about confidence which means that people believe each other, keep their promises and make a contribution to the improvement of the world. No con- tribution is too small. We are fortunate to live in the United States, even for- tunate, again, to live in the West, in California and the beautiful Redwood Empire. Pioneers developed our area to where its residents can live in peace and enjoy the freedom the pioneers fought for. The Rancho El Molino is now broken up into many or- chards, small towns, and family homes. On land which was once part of the El Molino Rancho is a new and beautiful high school. You students will someday be known as the young people who started the school’s traditions and began its long history of educating the young people of the Rus- sian River country. You too, are in a sense, pioneers. Not only pioneers in a school sense, but pioneers in the develop- ment of what will be found in our country’s exploration of outer space. What a wonderful age to enter! And may I add that this would not happen in any country without freedom. The staff of El Molino High School and the Analy Un- ion High School District stand ready to help you make the progress necessary to make your contribution to society. We need your help. Our late President, John F. Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” In my humble way I would like to challenge you by asking you not to ask what your school can do for you, but ask what you can do for yourself, your school and your country. May your summer be of special interest to you and be profitable towards your goal in life. My very best wishes, PAGE 8

Youth Only a moment; a moment of strength, of romance, of glamour— of youth! ... a flick of sunshine upon a strange shore, the time to remember, the time for a sigh, and good-bye! JOSEPH CONRAD PAGE 10
