BUARD OF TRUSTEES Mrs. HARRIS y Working behind the scenes at Armijo, setting overall policy, approving the use of local school funds, making the decisions which say go ahead to the building program, is a group of public- minded citizens known as the Board of Trustees. These are busy men and women, chosen by the community, to serve the community and its future citizens. For the unselfish donation of their time, energy, and thoughtfulness the class of 1957 says, Thank you. Mr. HALE Dr. OLSON Mr. GRIMM Mr. SHELDON 3

Mr. LUCAS Principal Mr. SMITH PRIN CIP L'S MESSAGE The theme, Building for the Future, is certainly a timely one today at Armijo for the administration and the Board of Trustees. NVe are busily engaged in all the planning and detail necessary for the construction of a new Armijo High School plant. It will be complete with science laboratories, shops, library, and all the other facilities to make education more effective. This fine new plant will be ready in 1959 to meet the needs of the increasing number of students of tomorrow. But in a larger sense, Armijo does not consist of buildings, halls, or classrooms: these are but temporary structures. The REAL ARMIJO lies in the traditions, the spirit, the enthusiasms, the ideals, the industry, the co-operation, and the achievements of all the students and teachers, past and present, who have come this way. This is the REAL ARMIAIOg and although it defies defini- tion, analysis, or measurement, it is more real and enduring than any building or structure. I am highly honored at having the opportunity of being a small part of this GREATER ARMIJO. An Armijo which de- velops in its students a real sense of the democratic responsibilities well as rights and privileges: an Armijo whose students have a true sense of appreciation for the ideals of human dignity and individual worthg an Armijo whose staff and youth work together, in understanding and harmony, in the never ending search for truth, beauty, and knowledge. This is the REAL ARMIJO that I have found here and which we today are continuing to build. This is the Armijo which, in co-operation with all other like institutions in our nation and democratic world, is building in the youth of today, that character, self-reliance, industry, tolerance, patience, and understanding necessary for the solution of the unforeseen problems of that world of tomorrow. I commend you for your past work and have every confidence in your future. 5 Vice-Principal 5
