A CHALLENGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL IRA A. MURPHY “Education is the training of our mental and moral powers by a system of study, discipline, and life experiences” says Webster. Our high school, through its faculty, school plant, and organization, expects to create an en- vironment where the above is available in full measure to each and every student. A well-trained faculty with excellent facilities now give us a firm basis to challenge and guide the mental powers of our young citizens. This guidance must ever remain such that study, discipline, and experiences in life will enable our children to have a better and fuller tomorrow. To utilize the facilities, personnel, and organization of our school to best advantage, a student body with a desire to meet the challenges that must confront those who would become “educated” is needed. The challenge to each and every student to participate in our activities is the invitation to educational growth. You, the students of Antelope Union, must answer that ever continuing invitation which is extended with the knowledge that it is your open door to mental and moral growth. 7
