The stress and strain of keeping a complicated financial budget was handled efficiently. Mrs. Florence Houck with her office knowledge would be difficult to replace, The administrators depended greatly on the assistance she rendered, Mr. Leo Calac, known for his bright smile, busy at his desk or away, was one of the outstanding Business Managers in the county, Such long hours of planning and detailed effort was invaluable to a smooth running system. Mrs. Houck and Mr. Calac ,, 4 ALWAYS READY and willing to tackle a tough or unexpected task, Mr, Ed Roy and Mr. .lim Ahler sparked each others enthusiasm as they shared the job of Vice-Principal The office arrangement was un- usual this year with Mr. Ahler situated in the band practice rooms at City Campus.

P anned To our Administrators we owe a hearty thanks for their unselfish efforts to make this year a bet- ter one. Thus at the close of another year at E.U.H.S. we may certainly point with pride to the alleg- iance of the people we have learned to know, not only as teachers, principals and board members, but lifetime friends to be re- membered in the years to come. ,Q af' J ,, J.

BILL RADNEY pauses in in the latest issue of the Cougar' front of the Administration office for .wqhr I a word of greeting to a new student All of us want to achieve success. We think and make Plans to gain future goals, We have the ambition to get ahead, This is a driving force that helps us to keep going. However, we sometimes see people with such driving ambi- tions that they become selfish and narrow in their goals. So, ambition needs to be tempered with kind- ness and concern for others, Actually this is worthwhile, because success is rarely achieved by oneself without the help, understanding and support of others. As we become concerned with what is best for our whole group, we are thereby strengthened and our wisdom is broadened until in the end we can meet greater achievement. ln parting, we wish the members of the class Of l956 all the Success in the world in their future endeavors. Sincerely, W. P. Rodney, Principal li elf W'li :ll f Q

Prog:-a A ffefeewrfvss A GROWING COMMUNITY created many difficulties to be met by our Board of Trustees. After defeat of the school bonds in l955, Board Members were faced with the problem of providing sufficient classrooms with very limited funds. During the summer a new wing was added and plans were made to house the Freshmen at City Campus. Another important decision involved the demolition of the vacant main building at City Campus. Decisions were reached only after care- ful study, and Escondido is grateful to these men for their untiring efforts to reach solutions which would guarantee a smooth running school, THE OFFICE STAFF worked quickly and efficiently to take care of the many assignments made by the administration. At left, Mrs. Bea Duncan worked at City Campus, while Mrs. Elmina Deal helped the different organizations with their financial problems. Mrs. Norma Casto served as attendance clerk, and Mrs. Ruth Pritchett kept the student records.
