University of Southern California Senior High Boys' Counselor DEL WARD, Principal AB. and M.A. Arizona State M.S. in Education University of Southern California Junior High Boys' Counselor For most of us this school year has slipped away all too rap- idly. We have been very busy with school work and student projects. Those who have given so readily of themselves in carrying out school activities have gained in friendships and loyalties to school and classmates. We have built on to the traditions and ideals, established through the years, that give our school distinction and character. Now those who are leaving will carry with them some meas- ure of that distinction and character and a rich collection of memories that will always spellfAlma Mater. We wish them success and those of us who return next year will renew our efforts to keep the banners flying. WILLIAM J. WRIGHT, Principal Downey Senior High School Qui Principals and Deans As we glance through the pages of this ex cellent yearbook, we have an opportunity of preserving the happy memories of the school year which is now history. We have had trying times, but have come through the year in a characteristic Viking spirit. We started the year with crowded con- ditions which hampered our studies, and throughout the term we had a building program in progress to make way for future expansion. I wish to thank the student body for the way they have helped put on the many activities this year. There were the assemblies, the Open House night, the operetta, the MOthers'-Daugh- ters' annual tea supervised by Miss Gwendolyn Flack, and other such events upon which we now look with fond memories. All these events would have been failures had it not been for the willing cooperation of the Junior high school students and their able teachers. DEL WARD, Principal Downey Junior High School MRS.

LEE R. DICKERSON President With Lee R. Dickerson serving as president, the Board of Education gives tree time in determining the general policies and various programs of the school with the help and ad- vice of the superintendent. The budget is a major problem and authorizing expenditures, setting up salary schedules and a much-needed building program, often keeps these public minded men at meetings until the midnight hour. But to make se- cure the educational interests of the students is the goal ofthe civic-mind- ed board. -l-hey Lead Us lzorevva rd OTTO T. BOYD ROY L. TOMPKINS NEIL T. ROGERS SAMUEL F. UNSWORTH 5 l
