SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE DONALD M. RODERICK Superintendent of Schools Since the advent of the space age, we, as citizens of the United States, have become more and more aware of our most valuable resource—time. News commentators have measured in years the distance between Russia and the United States in the race to the moon. In years also do medical scientists calculate the number of persons whose lives will be saved, if cures are found for such deadly diseases as cancer. From all areas we hear the cry of, ‘’Time, time, time.” To high school students it often seems unrealistic to hear others say, ‘Time is valuable.”’ Yet, when one considers that a minute passed can never return again, time assumes the aura of a precious stone. Time alone becomes the measure of one’s goals and ambitions, one’s achievements and failures. Only time well spent can advance our wildest dreams, our great- est needs, our highest hopes. Each person, therefore, must answer for himself this question about his own time: Is the activity which | am about to undertake worth my time? It is man’s most important resource which is being spent by each of us, every second. Is the purchase worth the price? DONALD M. RODERICK Superintendent of Schools BOARD OF EDUCATION Sitting: Donald D. Lum, M.D., President. Standing: Mr. A. H. Moffitt, Jr., Vice President, Mrs. Lee H. Cavanaugh, Mr. C. D. Ramsden, Mr, Walter V. Howe.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Time is the theme of our 1962 Horizon— let us explore a few of the implications sug- gested by the theme. Each of us begins the day at a certain time, the determination of which is dependent upon a variety of measuring instruments or physiological factors. We adjust our daily lives to a schedule based upon the time fac- tor without which our days would prove rath- er chaotic. SRR PTY The importance of time is dependent upon DONALD J. BELL what situation is to be met. Who cares about =e a lost millionth of a second? Space scientists do. Among high school students, who cares about a lost tenth of a second? A track man trying for a record does. Who cares about a lost minute or hour? Great men of music, art, literature, science, business and industry do because to them time is a valuable adjunct to their productivity. Who cares about a lost day or week? Everyone with a purpose in life does. The point is simply this—each student at Encinal High School should regard time as important to his daily life. He should use it judiciously, realize its importance, and never waste it. To each graduating senior | wish happiness and success. It is my hope that the time spent at your Alma Mater will help you to make a better world, a stronger nation, and a finer community. | wish to thank each member of the staff of the 1962 Horizon for his part in producing this outstanding yearbook. It is through your effort and cooperation that we have been able to present something new in printing and format which makes this the best book in the history of our school. To Miss Holland, editorial advisor; Mr. Kline, business advisor; Lillian Anovich, edi- tor; and Janice Wilhelm, business manager, | express a sincere thank you from our fac- ulty and students for providing a yearbook to remember.
