Wallace S. Wiggins BIIARD IIT TRUSTEES To provide the best possible program of education for the present 8500 high school pupils and the anticipated 20,000 within a few years is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees of the Whittier Union High School District, In their hands lies the authority, granted by the California State Legislature and Constitution, to establish the policies under which our high schools are operated. The decisions they must make are many, often complicated and complex. However, their decisions must be based on what is best for the pupils, the de- sires of the community and its financial resources. To keep up with the tremendous enrollment increase since T950 has been an out- standing achievement which has been recognized by top state and national authorities. We salute their spendid efforts.
