Katella High School - Legend Yearbook (Anaheim, CA)

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.

,eg is Began With Guidance of Supt. G ree , Kniehts: a pleasure for me to welcome you to the fraternity of senior high schools within the Anaheim Union High School District. Each new high school seems to have its own special personality. My first impres- sions of Katella High School students were girls practicing for the Drill Team, the Band getting in tune, and the football boys working out early in September. This is always a good omen for a school when the students are eager to begin school long before its doors are formally opened. As I write this letter, the football season has just clo sed — where you made an out- standing record — and I note that you have just won your first basketball game. We sometimes think of the pleasures of attending a school that has years of tradi- tion and yet, watching our new high schools build traditions during the past ten years, I think to be those who early set high standards of competence and achieve- ment for others to follow must be the most exciting experience that students can have. We could not ask for a school to put its stamp on the community any better than Katella has already done. I see only the sky as the limit to your future. Cordially, Superintendent Paul W. Cook greeted Katella Knights daily as he viewed students walking past his office. Paul W. Cook Superintendent The UHSD Board of Trustees established policies concerning the school district. In the 1966-67 school year John Barton, William U. Almand, Royal C. Marten, president; Dr. Kenneth Heuler, clerk; and Irving Pickler were serving as board members. 12
