A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL In the forests of the Puget Sound area the Douglas Fir has no equal. It grows taller, stronger, more true than any other type of tree. It is able to survive the weather and in competitive growth is! the victor. It provides shelter and protection for many less hardy types of vegetation. Truly, it is the leader of the forest! In a world of chaos and confusion, of spiritual and moral degeneration, strong spiritual leaders, like the mighty fir, --tall, straight and true, --are needed. A leader, however, cannot have the abil- ity to survive the worldly storm unless his spiritual roots go deep and his fibers are tough. lt is our desire that this school shall be a place for you as students to learn this type of leadership. Here you must learn to watch, stand fast in the faith, and be strong. . . --to be aggressive, diligent and efficient,--that you might take your place effectually in the world and lead men and women in the paths of righteousness. WENDELL BECKWITH -I3 A MESSAGE FROM OUR SUPERINTENDENT As a rule, things that grow retain their beauty only as long as they have life. A dead tree, for example, is not only unsightly, but is also a hazarcl to life and property. These things are true also oi' one who professes to have Christ living in his heart. Jesus, who was the greatest of all teachers as well as the Redeemer, once said, I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The purpose of King's Garden Schools is more than to train young people to become worthy mem- bers of their home and community, living anormal, constructive life. In addition to thisimportant aim, we desire to assist each student to develop a vital, overflowing Christian personality. Our existence as a school is justified to the extent that we are able to achieve this goal. HAROLD HEMRY

KlNG'S, INC. BOARD tr MN.. Dr. DEMARAY, REV. INGLIS, REV. ATKINSON, MR. FREDEEN, MR. NOLANDER, MR. MARTIN We, the students of King's High School have greatly admired the life of the founder of our school. A man of great faith and vision, he has borne much of the responsibility of this tremendous undertaking. The 'secret behind the story of King's Garden lies in the fact that Mike Martin, in the early years of his Christian walk, began to know what it means to obey God in the small things and to trust Him in the large things. Oftt-ntimes the step of obedience seemed hard to take, but because of his devotion to his Savior, and his zealous desire to have others know Christ, he learned early to say yes to the Lord. Mike Martin's challenging Spirit-filled life reveals once again what marvels can be accomplished with an obedient heart that is right toward God.
