t ,mf ji Tuox' D. VVALKER, Principal, Senior High MR. VVALKER If the students of Baker High School go from their four years of education here with zeal for right living and with minds capable of forming unbiased judgments, enjoying good l'ortune wisely, but facing days of misfortune with fortitude, even. with grace, the will prove that a real high school can exist and does exist in the wor d and its gradu- ates. The above slatenuent from Mr. Troy D. VValker, who is conclud- ing his seventh. year as principal of Baker High School, shows his in- terest i11 the development of Baker High School and shows his interest in the development of education. This year he has spent much time and effort in instituting a guidance program for Baker High School, a program which is probably not paralleled in any other Oregon school. The smooth i'une.tioning of the club activities' program is monumental lo Mr. XValker's efforts. Mr. Walker, during his years of service in our high school, has always proved himself eager to do anything he could to advance the legitimate interest of the students, though at times it may have seemed difficult for some ol' these students to understand his firmness in making decisions. He is a real friend of faculty and student alike. BA1mAuA JUDY, Secretary

Hum: Couaufxx, Snperinleliflenl The building program and the reorganization ol' the Baker Public Schools that have taken place this past year are but steps in that con- tinuous improvement of one ot' tl1e outstanding school systems ol' the Northwest. This past year saw the estaiblishment ot' a senior high school and a junior high school each ol' which has been rated standard by the state high school inspector. By next year the plans are to have the junior high school with, an entirely separate faculty which will complete the ten required points for a regular junior high school. In both the senior and junior high schools committees have been organized to study what other outstanding schools are doing and what the best authorities recommend. In all this the superintendent has been more than willing to lend his aid and help to the end that we shall have progressive and up-to-date schools. l-Iron C'0l.l'IM.XN, Sll1II'l'lllfl'Ildl'l1f.

l f l I.1zs'rxza D. Hsmns, Principal, Junior High MR. HARRIS After a few moments of reflective thinking upon the IIC-i1.iCVCllTClltS of the past year, I believe that il can be honestly said that both the teachers and students of the Helen M. Stack Junior High School have made this, their first year, a unique success. XVe are primarily eon- cerned with the best possible training, both physically and mentally, for all our students. It is the policy of the administration to allow no radical changes but only those changes which are based on progressive ideas which have weathered careful study and consideration. Our policy for the future is not one of weeding out, but one that will benefit all boys and girls through a earefully-plaimed course of study, and a well-organized activity program. VVe must not lose sigh.t of the paramount aim. or objective, of our school, that of making bet- ter eitizens of ourselves and attaining well-organized study habits. The office will at all times consider the welfare of the student first. l Lrasrnn D. I-ltxlnns, Principal. Cinco Fuorr, Ernm. DisNn.xM, Seerelrlry Seerelflry
