PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE A sense of humor is a valuable asset in making adjustments to the com- plexities of life's problems. This is especially true in the world we live in today. The pace is quickening, for we must devote our energies to be first in the space race, first in education, first in defense, and first in many other fields of endeavor. As individuals, we become acutely aware of the demands of society. These demands cause tensions to be built up which often have a detrimental effect on our health and well-being. A laugh, a chuckle, a smile, the ability to appreciate the humor of a situation, to laugh at our own shortcomings, to refuse to take ourselves too seriously — these are all ingredients found in a sense of humor. As a vital force in making us appreciative of the people around us and the world in which we live, there is nothing so valuable as a good sense of humor..| believe that the Horizon staff has selected a theme for the 1961 yearbook which is, indeed, timely for it has contributed gaiety and verve to this publication at a time when the world is in need of happiness and laughter. | wish to thank the members of the Horizon staff for their devoted service in giving our students such an outstanding yearbook. To Miss Hol- land, editorial advisor; Mr. Kline, business advisor and Martha Sneary, editor, | extend my personal thanks as well as the thanks of the Encinal High School faculty and of the student body for the many hours of work spent in bringing the Horizon to us. Donald J. Bell

Dr. Donald M. Roderick, Superintendent of Schools. SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE The theme you have chosen for the 196! Horizon is a refreshing and stimulating one. Learning should be a happy, wonderful experience. The memories that you have recorded in your yearbook will be constant reminders of those carefree days. But however delightful these days may be to you, they should be coupled with the serious business of equipping you for purposeful living. One thing that you may have discovered is that learning in itself can be a most satisfying pleasure. To solve a difficult problem, to create a beautiful picture, to compose a good, well-organized theme is in itself a satisfaction. Thus it has been revealed to you that the means and the ends are not distinct entities in themselves. They coalesce; they become one. Your yearbook then, with its many facets of high school life is a tangible and valuable reminder of those serious and pleasurable aspects of your school days. May your future be as rewarding to you as these high school days have been. Donald M. Roderick Superintendent of Schools
