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.

As a senior class, yours has been the task of upholding first traditions and re-evaluating first practices and procedures. Your goal this year has been to strengthen Calhi's framework of great- ness, and this you have done well! Putting firsts to the test is a difficult and unglamorous task, and Calhi will always be grateful for your leadership. This year Calhi has emerged as a mature school and, despite rapid growth and over crowded conditions, has established itself as a leader among high schools! The entire student body should be con- gratulated for its part in the continual building pro- gress of our new school. The 'iCalhf Way is now an established pattern, the challenge to next year's stu- dent body is to make it the unanimous pattern! Balhi Administrators GEF' Miss Florence Timmermon
