Cook, Trustees and Principal McNam a c ongratulations, Katella Knights With the beginning of the school year a new institution, Katella High School, came into being. Challenges and opportunities have presented themselves and many more will come. I am pleased to note that you have recognized the opportunities to achieve and to lead and that you have met the current challenges with victory. Academically our school has started on a firm foundation, clubs have been organized and responsibilities are being met, our Band and Drill Team per- formed with maturity characteristic of a much older school, competitive speech ac- tivities have proceeded with singular ac- complishment, our athletic teams have achieved as champions, and school spirit is high. We have reason to be proud of what has been accomplished and our sights are focused on goals of a high level, distant and difficult, but to be achieved if we have the necessary desire. It is about your goals that I wish to visit with you. You are now at that stage where your choice, accomplishments or lack of ac- complishment, take on added significance. Now is the time to learn and to achieve. You can achieve far beyond your present level or accomplishment. I would encourage you to consider this concept. Principal James E.

,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
