Disfricf Heads Planner! Tlzfrcl High School MOVING out ot the LaPHS Administration Building, the La Puente Union High School District established its offices this year in the remodeled White House at the west end of the LaPHS campus. This move was significant of the tremendous growth ot the district in the past seven years since Glen A, Wilson became Superintendent. He saw it grow from one school with an enrollment of 670 to two high schools with a combined enrollment ot more than 3,000. After building activities at Los Altos High School terminated except for a swimming pool and addi- tional landscaping, Mr. Wilson and the Board ot Trustees, headed by Mrs. Louise Hillenbrand, presi- dent, spent most of their time at bi-monthly meet- ings checking the master plans for the third high school, situated on Nogales in Walnut, which will open in l962-63. They also purchased a new site in the South Rowland area and will acquire at least three other sites to tit the educational needs of the expanding Valley. They likewise voted to appropri- ate money to remodel the LaPHS Auditorium and Gym and studied demands tor more science build- ings at LaPHS. To provide a place where adminis- trators and teachers could meet and pool their ideas for developing the curriculum, the district opened a small-scale curriculum center Other members ot the Board include: John A. Rowland Jr., clerk, Michael Pemberton, William Morehouse, and Leonard West- hott, with Miss Catherine Bidart, recording secretary. fad 4 r PRESIDENT Louise Hillenbrand presided over meetings at which members determined what was best for the rapidly expanding school system LA PHS BOARD OF TRUSTEES: Michael Pemberton, John A.

Congratulations to the Imagaga Staff for its choice of this year's theme, American history is rich with the Sounds of Democracy. Like a good continued story, the past and present have been background for the most critical part still unfolding. The sounds yet unheard will tell the real fate of Democracy. Sounds of the Past were those of a nation wishing to avoid foreign entanglements. Typically American were such picturesque names as Kitchen Cabinet, Know Nothings, Locopocos, and Bull Moose. Go West, Young Man seemed inspired by Mani- fest Destiny, while the public condemned Seward's lcebox as folly. Sounds of the Present clearly indicate that the concept of One World has largely replaced traditional American isolationism. The transition, though, was not an easy one. After fighting a war to Save the World for Democracy, the American pub- lic rejected Wilson's vision of American leadership by refusing to participate in the League of Nations, the Doughboy only desired to return to his iob. The Second World War, the United Nations, the Marshall Plan, NATO, and the Summit Conference - these are the sounds that signify a final and complete involvement in total world affairs. The Atomic bomb and Sputnik ushered in the Sounds of the Future. Suddenly it becomes im- portant whether they will be sounds for Democracy or for a foreign ideal, and the issue of survival or annihilation is paramount. The world designation of President Eisenhower as the Prince of Peace places the burden of leadership upon you who soon will inherit the responsibility of saving the world from self-destruction. May the Sounds you make for Democracy be worthy of your heritage.
