Azcifali Cifizend We dedicate this annual to Building, because during the past school year we have been building a new school plant in which we expect to move this summer. It has been a long process, one which has taken many ideas and help from many people to com- plete. May I compare this building with the building of citizens which we are continual- ly in the process of doing in the Maricopa Schools. I have before me a very thick book called, Specifications for the Maricopa Uni- fied School, in which specifications for all the various phases of construction of the new school plant are included. This book deals only with materials, but the specifica- tions for building good citizens would make a much thicker book. The foundation for a building usually calls for something very hard such as concrete, a very durable mater- ial and not easy to move. Our foundation should be, similarly something that is stable and not easily moved. However, as the building progresses in the use of its ma- terial, so should we progress in use of mater- ials both mentally and physically in the building of ourselves to become good citi- zens in our community. Our community provided the new school buildings for us. May we in turn be better members of society from having used these buildings. Materials that go into a structure are fitted, molded, shaped and colored to get a sturdy building with artistic appearance. Each of us as indi- viduals go through the same process as buildings to be molded into useful citizens. May the new plant for Maricopa Unified Schools be a symbol to every student who attends it to be that kind of citizen worthy of graduation from such a fine edifice. Ray Messinger

Students, teachers, and townspeople cooperate in cheering at an important game. Yes! Here they are- the most important part of our school - the people. The students, teachers, and ad- ministration work, learn, and enjoy many activities togeth- er. They build character, good work habits, and last- ing friendships here. Their voices blend together at sporting events just as their ideas do in the classroom. Jdolminiafrafion, jacuhy, Cfadaea
