To the workers who so unselfishly came to the Garden, scrubbed, hammered, painted--who prepared the way for us, the students, who were later to enter these portals--to these noble ones we express our gratitude, knowing it was done for the Master's sake. We can hardly visualize what our building was like two or three years ago, with floors warped, paint peeling from the walls, classrooms unfinished, desks to be made, partitions to be changed, walls to be painted. We look at our building now., with its recent improvements: our new chapel, recreation room, art room, science laboratory, all symbols of a love which no man can comprehend. A We thank you, one and all, for your labors which have made this school possible. ..9-

Not one tree, but many, growing in rich soil, reminding us that the love of God gives US the right kind of soilg in it. not just one P QW,-UL 52 MW tree but many are rooted. We stop to realize that these giant trees, so tall and straight, were wee saplings once. Each Christian life here at King's High began as just a sapling, some not yet having grown very farg others are well on their way in Christian growthg all have been carefully nurtured, trained, and even pruned. We look up to some of the great spiritual giants, so tall and straight, desiring too, that we might grow as tall and straight as they. Always to keep growing is our goal. We agree that there is still far yet to go before we, even as the tallest tree, reach God's heaven. ...3..

There are well over a hundred varieties of trees and shrubs covering the sixty-three acres of the King's Garden. It's hard to realize that each of these began from a tiny seed. Truly, it is one of the continuing miracles of growth that a great tree, with its roots deep in the ground and its branches spread so wide, should have grown from a seed so small. It is yet a greater miracle of spiritual growth that a life 'rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith' should have grown from the seed of the gospel. Even as there is power in the seed of a tree to bring forth life in abundance, there is much more power of growth in the gospel of Christ. 'I'he faculty and administrators of the King's Schools are seeking to plant the seed in the lives of young people that they may grow in the nurture of the Lord. If you are going to plant for one year, plant grainy If you are going to plant for ten years, plant' trees: If you are going to plant for one hundred years, plant men.
