RAY MESSINGER A.B., Chico State College M.A., Oregon State College ear 57 Oufdlantbng .70 .fdclminiafrafion The school year 1957 is outstanding to me because we live in a new school plant that has been an anticipated dream of the students and people of this community for many years. It is outstanding because we can be proud of our new school home and its surroundings. It is outstanding because we can be proud of the cooperation of the parents and friends in helping us get ad- justed in our new school home. Once in an average person's lifetime do they have an opportunity to experience moving into a complete new campus such as we have today. The school year 1956-57 is outstand- ing because we have had the largest en- rollment in the history of our school. It is outstanding because we have reached a milestone in activities. Our school activities have been fewer this year but much better. Our dances have been better attended and our students made outstanding efforts in the support they gave their teams while the teams were do- ing an outstanding job of representing their school in athletic competition. It is outstanding because it is the last year that Cuyama students will be in our midst. We hate to see them leave but wish them well in their own new school. We trust that we may be good neighbors. It is outstanding because this is another outstanding edition of the La Revista, and in the future when we count our memories we know that 1957 will have been the outstanding year. agzcrefariezi Gi Quia Jeb? MRS. EDITH SOLLEDER, school sec- retary, is always ready with a cheerful smile to assist students whenever they need her help. She is secretary to Mr. Messinger and takes minutes at the board meetings.
