with Patience As principal of Escondido Union l-ligh School, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all teachers and students for their splendid cooperation during the past school year. During my seven years on the hill, I have admired Cougars for their spirit and that indescribable something which makes them pleasantly different, whether it be on the athletic field or in the classroom. Time after time, whether winning or losing, our boys have been commended by officials for their ability to act as gentlemen, irrespective of the situation, Other student groups appearing before the public have brought comments of praise that make us all proud to be a part of this high school Next year, Escondido will have two high schools. We feel certain that Vallecitos will develop and bring further laurels to our district. To these students and their teachers we give our very best wishes. Finally, students, try always to keep that friendly spirit and warm consideration for the other individual. lt has made you a group of outstanding students it 'll h f f' - wi elp to make you a group o ine American citizens Sincerely yours, BUD QUADE Principal 2 'YQ Mr. Quade, the former Keep, this year moved next door into the principal's office Combin- ing a background of experience with students, and personal qual- ities ot understanding, patience, and a rare sense of humor he has continued to be regarded as a friend ot the students l-lis ot- fice door is alxiaxs open to probe lems of the A S 5 , which organ- ization he also serx es as adxisor, K

One might well wonder whether this inter- esting group might be listening to the breath- taking loveliness of a Mozart Sonata, or to the scratchy scraping ot a scalpel along the spine of a dissected frog-since both men double in teaching music and biology. Who is going to the new school? Where will the English department be situated? These were only two of the many questions asked by the busy English teachers in their department meeting. Lett to right are Mr. Gray, English l and ll and Cougar Adviser, Mrs. Dove, Eng- lish ll and Eschohi Lights Adviser, Mr. Branch, English lll and Drama coach, Miss Breiden- stein, English l and Freshman Adviser, Miss Reuter, English Ill and IV and director ot the Junior and Senior plays, and Mr. Georges, English Il and lll, J V, Football and Wrestling coach, All seem pleased with the plans for the English department at the new school, One might wonder whether Mr. Cameron, who teaches Spanish I, ll, Radio, and English l, is recording a Spanish song tor Miss Brand, head ot the Language department and teach- ui ot Spanish l, ll, and Ill, Or perhaps he's giving Mis Vogel, our Latin l and Il teacher, a lesson in Greek,
