Punishment of Evil Foundations for the NEW LEGEND established this year at Katella began long before the student body officially came on campus. Administration and faculty start- ed preparations for working schedules, new ideas, and various activities before Katella was finished. In the final weeks before September ninth, separate depart- ments met to make final corrections and add last minute touches. Our teachers at Katella could in many ways be compared to the cunning magi- cian Merlin. Merlin was an invaluable teacher and guardian to Arthur. He taught Arthur his first lessons in true un- derstanding and fairness. Merlin, however, did not merely wave a wand to make Arthur wise and knowing. It took long hours of patience and many working days to train the timid boy into a noble Knight. Merlin believed that the secret to suc- cess and to life was in being able to see all sides of a situation. He believed so much in this that he changed Arthur into a bird. From the air Arthur saw a new view of the world, all was beautiful and bright. Defense of Innocense, Punishment of Evil, was the motto by which Merlin lived and by which he taught young Arthur to live. Throughout the legends of old, Merlin and Arthur gave example after example of their belief in this motto. Here at Katella we too believe in the justice of Merlin ' s motto and strive to reach perfection through it.
