Realizing the great need of an institution where our youth of this section could obtain a Christian education, the members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Phoenix, Arizona,in 1920 established the Arizona Academy. Salt River Valley, of which Phoenix is the com- mercial center, is iustly famous for its healthful climate which is especially cool and clear during the school term. The campus of six acres, beauti- fied with lawns, arbor vitae, and roses, the ample buildings, and the central location make it an ex- cellent place for the education of our youth. For many years the school has been handi- capped by lack of adequate classroom space. During the school term of 1945-46 a new admin- istration building was erected. Air-conditioned throughout, it provides excellent classrooms, ofhces, and a library-study hall. The beauty of the campus has been enhanced by this new structure. Purpose. The general purpose and obiect for which the Academy is established is to promote the principles of true education, to provide fa- cilities for the harmonious development of the intellectual, moral, and physical powers of the student, and to train workers for the various mis- Fzfty-eight sionary enterprises which the denomination is carrying on in all parts of the world. Recognizing that not every student who finishes the academy will enter the regular organized mis- sionary work, the outstanding purpose of the Academy is the building of character in the lives of the young men and women, the restoring of the image of Christ in those attending. The formation of character is the work of a lifetime, and it is for eternity. This Academy has been established to aid the parents in educating and preparing their children for the time just before us. It is one of the refuges for the sorely tried youth where they may be pro- tected and learn the ways of the Lord. of the enemy that we have established schools where they may be qualified for usefulness in this life and for the service of God throughout eter- nity. C. T. p. 295. The teachers employed are such who will en- deavor to inspire the students with principles of truth, obedience, honor, integrity, and purity,- principles that will make them a positive force for the stability and uplifting of society. vide definitely for the guidance of every student under the close personal supervision of a member of the faculty. These contacts are informal and friendly but are sufficiently constant for the student to know that his welfare is being looked after, his interests sought, and that there is one selected faculty member to whom he may go with his problems, of whatever nature they may be. Of course every teacher takes an interest in his pupils, but the counselor's interest includes and co-ordi- nates all these other interests. He is interested in the whole welfare and in the whole well-being of the student in a way impossible to any other teacher. This list for each teacher is kept short to insure these contacts, which should constitute no small part of the spiritual, social, and character building values of the School. Student Activities. The Academy fosters a num- ber of organizations which are designed primarily to promote leadership among the students and seek to develop the physical, mental, social, and spiritual powers. Among these organizations are included the Student Association and Y.P.M.V. Society in connection with the Phoenix churches.
