Horizon Is Symbolic To Principal Coins and currency of the United States serve not only as a medium of exchange, but also as an expression of the ideals and aspirations of a people. They contain a symbolism which should be understood and prized by every American citizen. Our HORIZON also has symbolic significance because it too is the medium through which our students and faculty have concretely expressed their ideals, aspira- tions, and achievements. It is a treasure-house of memories, friendships and accom- plishments, more highly prized with each passing year. The faith and confidence of Americans in their ideals and democratic lile give the basis of value for our currency. Your high school experience is the medium through which students have had the opportunity, each to his own ability, of increasing his faith and value: not only in himself hut in his school and countiy. I wish to express a deep personal pride and appreciation to those who were directly responsible for the editing and production of this beautiful yearbook. M ss Marilyn Hey as facultv editor. Mr. Clarence Kline as faculty business manager. Edna Wash- ington, editor, and Janet Seymour and Charles Bowdish, co-business managers. In addition I wish to thank the entire yearbook staff and all others whose hearts and hands have so diligentlv toili cl to apture in these pages the.experien(cs r have shared this past year.

Superintendent Expresses Confidence in Youth The year 1958 may well be remembered by graduates and parents alike as marking the beginning of a new era. Progress in scientific achievements has focused all of our thoughts upon the future and the significant place that the education of youth plays in our future. More than ever before we share in the responsibility of helping youth to set standards and to affirm with them our fundamental belief in the basic values in our educational program. This 1958 HORIZON records the achievements of the student body of Encinal High School. It honors the graduating seniors who have already demonstrated that as individuals they have been able to profit from their experiences here. To them will be given the task of making critical judgments which will contribute to the welfare of this world, to finding new ways to solve new tasks. We feel confident that their affirmation of the permanent values in life, of integrity, of self-discipline, of social responsibility, and of a cardinal belief in the necessity for the development ot men and women who have the power to live richly, will provide a sound foundation for decision making. We know that their decisions will be to that end that the dignity of the in- dividual and the good of society as a whole may be protected. Donald M. Roderick Superintendent of Sehools
