Thelma Johnson DEDICATION Serving as secretary to Mr. Dingus, Thelma John- son also takes dictation from Mrs. Adams, Mr. Maryott and Mr. Churchill. She has had many jobs from the time she began her career inside A. V. Hi as general office girl. She was once Mr. Knapp's only assistant in the business office where she was pay clerk, warrant clerk, bookkeeper, supply clerk and secretary to Mr. Knapp. Working inside A. V. Hi as the Superintendent of Maintenance and Operation of the School, Os- car Johnson has proven his abilities many times, whenever they were needed, as carpenter, electric- ian or plumber. He is busy the year around, with ten men assisting him seeing that tho school build- ings and grounds are kept in good condition. Not only in their jobs have the Johnsons proven themselves tireless and conscientious workers, but in their home and community they have earned the respect and confidence of all who know them. In appreciation for the constant efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Johnson to help make this a better school for us to attend, we, the Yucca Staff, dedi- cate the 1951 Yucca.

'V. Wc. Before we proceed, however it might be taken of note a few fact about tho school. A.V. Hi has grown and progressed greatly in the thirty-eight years since it was built in 1913. There were then three buildings, eighty-one students, and two teachers. At that time students from out-lying districts lived in dormitories. Today sixteen buildings plus three athletic fields cover nearly ten of the school's sixty acres. The total school population including students, teachers, office workers, maintenance men, and bus drivers is 1163. Although its history and organization may be slightly different from other schools, A.V. Hi, in its overall purpose and plan, is the same as any school. Its purpose is to prepare young peoplo to enjoy life more fully through knowledge; to teach them to think clearly and be able to exorcise good judgment in their future duties as citizens; and to aid them in the earning of a living when they have finished school. Students present Gilbert end Sulliven operette. We'll start our trip now, after this brief stopover, with, a glimpse of those to whom this book is dedicated, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Johnson.
