Our Principal As we look back over the Fifties we see evidence of many changes — from a graduating class of 248 to one of 433, from a student body of 1299 to one of 2500, from one high school in the district to four with a total student population of over 6000. Many athletic championships and numerous awards in the fields of speech, drama, and music have been won by FUHS in- dividuals and teams. What do we see ahead in the Swinging Sixties ? The establishment of a state college within our district and the possibility of four additional high schools added to our district, greater op- portunities and challenges for every student, and we hope many successes in all fields of en- deavor.

Coordinators Idris (Rusty) Davies holds the position of coordi- nator of Informational services. Under the di- rection of the superintendent, he develops and coordinates news releases to the public. He studies research in the various schools in areas of curriculum, attendance, student activities, sched- uling, and other aspects of the school program with the view that public information releases will develop more insight and understanding of the work of the public schools. Serving as coordinator of psychological services is Margiebelle Brown. One of her duties is to screen candidates for the mentally retarded pro- gram. Administering tests, evaluating candi- dates, and investigating the candidate ' s educa- tional achievements, adjustment in school, and medical history are all a part of this screening. Another of her duties is to moke case studies of students who need special attention including classroom observation, testing, conferences, se- curing all available information, and written reports. Elton Ward studies the industrial education needs of the community and coordinates the program to meet these needs as coordinator of industrial education. He helps administrators interpret and initiate industrial art programs, assures com- pliance of local programs with state and federal regulations, and recommends facilities, equip- ment, supplies, and budget needed to carry on efficiently the industrial education program on all levels of instruction.

Dean o Girls This school year sees the beginning of the Swinging Sixties. The entrance to a new decade seems always to pr esent more challenge than the mere passing of one year and the coming of another. You are now writing the date 1960. Where will you be when you write 1970? What will you be doing? Who will be your close friends or your business associates? In 1949-1950 the peak enrollment in our district was 1303 students in one high school — ours. In 1959-1960 we have 6014 students in four high schools. No one knows certainly what the school population or the educational picture will be in 1969-1970. As we leave the Fabulous Fifties it is our wish that the ' Swinging Sixties be Fullerton ' s best years. CZy oro fh t a F 2a r Dean oi Boys As we- swing into the Sixties let us remember that yester- day was once a tomorrow. Then, let us resolve that the to- morrows of the Sixties shall become yesterdays proudly to be remembered. — Proudly for devotion to the ight, for our dedication to service, for our loyalty to the Indian traditions.
