Ferndale Union High School - Tomahawk Yearbook (Ferndale, CA)

Eclitoria as INCE FERNDALE HIGH SCHCOL is the farthest western high school in the United States the western idea has been used in conjunction with the natural function of a yearbook-a history. An effort has been made to give the book si western tinge through art work and general atmosphere. And, as the members of the class of 1928 near their goalfgraduation-it is sincerely hoped that they will carry with them the knowledge and high ideals inspired and molded by their four short years of study and fung and greater yet, the ability to use these qualities to the best advantage. It is hoped that they will take with them the sportsmanship, endurance, health, clean concisive manner and quick thinking that characterize the west. Even as they take these things they will leave behind a lasting contribution to the credit of the school. As their range of thought and action widen, let the graduates find or make a place for themselves that will be an honor to their counf try and to themselves. They will then be on the winding trail that leads to peace and happiness. However, the remaining and future classes of our high school have one ad' vantage over the graduating class. This advantage is the new gymnasium, a build' ing that will be spacious, modern in every respect and presenting glorious opportu- nities. When the future basketball teams play on other courts they will not feel lost, nor will they feel cramped for space in their home gymnasium. The new gym, not only being adequately equipped for athletics, will contain a stage and all high school plays and festivals can be given there. Furthermore, the new build- ing will be very convenient and useful in meeting community needs. The students of the school thank the trustees and taxpayers for realizing our need and making the gymnasium a reality. And as the class of twentyfeight watches the corner stone fitted into place it also wishes, a bit enviously, perhaps, the school and community the best of enjoyment and accommodation from it. 2 A Page Six

he Staff mlm Ei The staff for this year was chosen by a different method than the one usually employed by this school but familiar enough to other schools of the state. Only juniors and seniors were considered eligible for staff membership. The staff was smaller than heretofore and if a staff member failed to do satisfactory work a new member was appointed in his place. This year the staff has succeeded in publishf ing an annual which may be classed among the largest in the history of the school. Since an annual is primarily a picture book, as many pictures as possible have been used. The industries of this immediate locality have been described and pictures illustrating them inserted. For the benefit of students and parents the various courses offered in this school are outlined. The colors of the graduating class are green and gold and these colors have been used on the fabricoid cover. The editor wishes to thank everyone who contributed in any way toward the making of the annual. All the members of the staff have been agreeable and will' ing and have done good work. The advice and help of Miss Knoles, Miss McKee and Miss White are sincerely appreciated. Special credit is due Hazel Christensen who aided the art editor. Leo Sullivan is to be complimented on his volunteer work as assistant business manager. Marjorie Kausen also deserves mention for being poet laureate and assisting in reading proof. Bernice Brown's timely assistance in typing is greatly appreciated. Last, but not least, the editor wishes to thank the assistant editor, Edwin Clausen, for his dependability and aid and Mrs. Kiefer for her splenf did cooperation and neverfending enthusiasm.
