PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Buried minerals, are of no value to the world unless energy is so directed that they are brought to light and turned into channels of usefulness for mankind. Every person is a mine filled with infinite possibilities and he has a contribution to make to the world which no other person can make. Education is the process whereby an individual discovers his possibilities and brings forth the treasures from within his own heart, mind, and life. The school as an institution should offer abundant opportunity for worthwhile experiences in self-discovery. Inspiration and guidance is necessary if the individual is to develop into a good prospector. Schools may offer opportunity, as do the hills of Antelope Valley. Teachers may furnish the inspiration and guidance so much needed by every good prospector, but only the individual himself can furnish the determination, the energy, and the confidence necessary to bring forth the riches within his own soul.
