Due to the watchful guidance and untiring ef- forts of its most efficient board of trustees, Chaffey has been rapidly building a bigger and better school system to furnish its student body with op- portunities that are of priceless value. With the aid of the board, Chaffey ' s campus has been con- stantly growing, and the chances for obtaining a complete education in any specialized type of work are becoming more freguent. The students of Chaffey are indeed for Lunate to have such capable men on their board, who are willing to give so much of their time and interest to the activities of the school, working without any compensation ex- cept for the satisfaction of a job well done. The board is comprised of Mr. N. E. Trautman of the Real Estate and Investment business as presi- dent; Mr. N. S. Lawson, a rancher of Upland; Mr. D. E. Palmer, manager of the Magnolia Building and Loan Association; Mr. J. E. Bailie, Deputy Assessor and Fontana rancher; and Mr. H. S. Bailey, mana- ger of the By-Products plant of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. BOARD 16

MR. FISHER ' S MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS To the Members of the Graduating Class of 1941: You are completing your high school course in a time of national crisis. Several members of your class have finished their work for graduation as members of the armed forces of the United States. I feel sure that all of you are ready to serve the cause of freedom, with your very lives, if that be necessary. For most of you, however, the present need is that you continue your education so that you may be better pre- pared to serve the cause of humanity in the difficult years that lie ahead. America and the world need minds that can reason clearly without hate or prejudice, hands trained for efficient service, and hearts that will not swerve from the path of honor and truth. You are sharing the high privilege of citizenship in America. Chaffey counts on you to accept also the responsibilities of citizenship, as God gives you strength. Sincerely, your friend, ERNEST W. FISCHER

MR. SPRING ' S MESSAGE At the present moment storm clouds are gather- ing; and they are not those of the passing thunder- storm, but they are the kind which presage long and continuous, stormy weather. Europe and Asia have already been torn asunder; we know not at what moment our country may be drawn into the holocaust. Three things I would have each student at Chaffey remember at this time: First, that during such crises as this every man and woman has the opportunity of making life count to the utmost, as it is during such periods that the Washingtons and the Abraham Lincolns come to the front. Second, that each one of us is obligated to prepare with utmost dispatch for entrance into some field of work where our efforts may be of service to the nation. Third, that we may lighten the burden only by cul- tivating witin our hearts the sterner virtues of hon- est, self-reliance, and sacrifice. Gardiner W. Spring 17
