Mr. Gilkey, Vice-Principal; Miss Gilbert, Dean of Girls Administration Promotes Smooth Flight Smooth, successful take-offs and landings in and out of the school years of Avenal High School are attributed to our administration. By its care- fully planned program we, the stu- dents, derive the utmost benefits from our education. The culmina- tion of this school year again will be the take-off of another graduating class, and without the efforts of our administration, this smooth take-off would not have come into being.

MR. LUTHER WHITTEN, Principal MR. HARRY REILLY, Superintendent Space Age Demands Leadership Man is eternally motivated by tlie desire to protect the gift of life, prolong it and improve the environmental factors that play upon it. The space age, which is also known as the era of action, has emphasized improvement of en- vironmental conditions to the point that is ad- vancing society at a supersonic rate. The improvement of society at such a rapid rate has society and particularly the leaders. This rate of advancement depends directly upon the speed at which this society is able to produce capable leaders. As the demands increase, the rewards increase, both mater- ially and emotionally. May you accept the challenge to develop and perfect those qualities of integrity, responsibility, emotional stability, empathy, enthusiasm and gentility. These qualities combined with an abundance of energy and good sound judgement will enable you to become a leader and make your contribution to the rapid progress of society. This progress cannot and will not con- tinue without competent leadership. Best wishes to you in the future and may you find afresh each day the force, the inspiration and passion of leadership. This is a demanding task, but remember, problems are opportuni- ties for those strong enough to tackle them as challenges, so regardless of the vocation or profession you select; be the best. 7 ., L. toR.: Mr. House, Mr. Bradbury, Mr. Yenger, Mr. Hightower, Mr. Moore.
