Sifuix THEY WRITE THE SCORE In all activities there is usually a governing body behind the scenes-one which wishes to be known by its deeds and not seen. This is true of the Caruthers Union High School which has behind it the boost of five men who compose the board of trustees, the backbone of the school. All of the school regulations are set by these capable men. Through their kindliness Caruthers High has received many improvements during the past years-the most recent of which is the addition to the shop. They report to their duty in all kinds of weather to carry out their business transactions each month. The trustees give of their time uncomplainingly and make painstaking efforts to serve in such a way that they might best carry out their aims. It is their desire to see that Caruthers lies among the top-ranking schools of California. The tasks and responsibilities which rest on their shoulders are not easy. For example, they have many applications from teachers for positions in the school. When vacancies occur, these applications have to be studied very carefully by the board. Even late into the night they may work deciding on the most capable and best suited teacher for the position. These trustees have been selected as representatives of the people in the high school district: J. A. Butler, Alvinag H. P. Stark, Caruthersg M. O. Pisor, Monroe, R. L. Gray, Princetong and C. S. Moore, Raisin City. It is the desire of the students of Caruthers, through this page, to express their appreciation to the trustees for the sincerity, willingness, and deep thought which they have given to make the school a remarkable success. It is expected that the trustees of the future will write the score as well as those of the past and present have done. 8

Wmroiw, l'rineip.il, Geometry HE HOLDS THE BATON When an audience is thrilled with music of a great symphony orchestra, they are likely to give the conductor most of the credit. They should not overlook the fine musicians who play the music and the sponsors whose contributions have paid the bills. The little man in front with the baton cannot get very far without the help of all the other people. The conductor is not able to put on the show by himself. His job is to bring order and harmony out of the group under his baton. Even in swing bands the individualistic outbursts of the trumpet and the rippling runs of the clarinet must not fail to fit the pattern of the piece being played by the entire group. Some of the school principal's assistants correspond to the first-chair men of the orchestra. Others just play as their turn comes. Among these helpers is the young lady whose picture appears on this page. She is the one who does all the chores for this important institution. Many people do not appreciate the great variety of work she does such as recording attendance and grades, writing letters, cutting stencils, keeping sundry accounts, checking bills and the general accounts for the trustees, attending to all the financial records of the Future Farmer Loan Fund, and answering questions over the counter and over the telephone. She is always serene and capable, even when some of these questions seem trivial. Nothing can cause discord so surely as to have things go wrong in the office. Such harmony as we are able to have is due in considerable measure to our office secretary. ln our symphony the tax-payers are the sponsors and the school trustees are the board of directors. When all of us work together in full cooperation, we have the proper condi- tions for a real harmonious result. 9
