Soil of Challenge We attempt to comprehend the theorems and formulas ... we ponder Freud’s psychoanalysis of the personality structure ... we attack the assignment of word derivations and usage ... we awaken to the discovery of protozoans beneath the microscope, but suddenly the instruments of learning are incapable of yielding all the answers we want to know. Seeking to expand the limits of our minds . . . striving to elude the attraction of mediocrity and procrastination . . . struggling to make each today worth the effort it takes to live it, we found ourselves eager to plant the seeds of enlightenment in the fertile soil of challenge.

Heart of Our Valley We are a people with roots buried deep in competition in sports ... in politics ... in the struggle to win the confidence of consumers. People whose ancestors began without substance . . . had ambition as their only tool and made a barren desert into the fertile valley we know today. Utilizing the gifts of nature brought forth the best man could offer. Skill pride and the knowledge of mankind. A free economy produces a caliber of goods otherwise not possible. As consumers we are fortunate to be offered only the best from our merchants in quality . . price . courtesy . . . and speed of service. The numerous places of business are truly the heart of our community . . . of our economy ... of our valley. 237 TRY TO REMEMBER Where were you when GJHS looked like this?
