CENTER-Mr. Messinger is speaking at the cor- nerstone laying, October 8, 1955, of the new school plant. pay edriinger Everyone in our school and community is greatly indebted to Mr. Ray Mes- singer, our Superintendent of Maricopa Schools, who died suddenly on October 8 of this school year. Mr. Messinger took over the office of Superintendent in April of 1951, and had been an active member of church and community organizations as well as school affairs. He helped plan the new school and spent many long hours talking the bond issues, looking over blue-prints, and dis- cussing problems with the Board and with the architects. He was well-known in educational circles throughout the state and county. He was attending sessions of the Califor- nia Association of School Administrators at the time of his death. Mr. Messinger's accomplishments and outstanding record will remain with us for a long time to come. BELOW-Supt. Messinger is shown with Mr. A. W. Scott at one of the community meetings discussing the school bond issue. .7 Jw ' gm.- B, ..-..l'e1 W R Mfs ,M THIS is a year we must relate - The joys and sorrows of '58. This school year of '58 started with the election of new officers and high hopes for the success of the year in spite of the decreased enrollment due to the loss of Cuyama students. The sudden death of Superintendent Ray Messinger was a blow to the student body and the community. This was a year of illnesses-colds, measles, and Asiatic Flu, each took its turn. At one time in November the student body dwindled to half its size because of the epidemic of Asiatic Flu. Co-operation of the teachers and students made events like Senior Career Day, the Alumni Dance, and the Drama Club Play Festival enjoy- able occasions. After-game dances, assemblies, and the junior play were well attended by both teachers and students. Voting in favor of the special school tax election and attending school functions showed the community's interest in its school. Friendship among teachers, students, and the people of the community brought about the success of the 1958 school year. Of our work we are proud Ana' sing our praises long aml loud As we measure all lhe rex! W'e feel that this year was ibe lzesl. 3' 1 Q.

Their happy chatter could be heard from one end of the hall to the other. At times this led to detentions. Frosh got into the swing of social events by at- tending the Mardi Gras. They attended pep ral- lies in the Gym and proved to be very noisy. Dances and all kinds of activities were attended by the frosh throughout the school yea-r. But as the year gradually bore on, and the frosh bore down, they settled down to a good year of studying. FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Bark raw: Mack Breedlove, Vice-Pres. Sem. 1, Pres.

The largest beginners' group of thirty-five enrolled in September and progressed so well and rapidly that they, along with returnees from the year before, making a total of fifty, participated in late November and early December programs and parades. The director felt this was his finest first-year group in many years at Maricopa, most of them below high school level yet and offering bright future prospects for the band. Following the fall and Christmas programs and parades, the band appeared at the Recreation Hall Talent Show, then at the Bear Mountain Festival at Lakeside Grammar School. One of the more important local appearances was at the Public Schools Week Program. Participation in parades were made in the spring. Small instrumental groups were also formed from the band member- ship and they performed at various programs during the year. These in- cluded the saxophone duet of Barbara Sue Whitfield and Cher Ami Flake, who played at the junior Class Play and other events, woodwind group, brass group, and saxophone sextet. With the exception of one senior the entire membership of this year's band is expected to return for the next school year.
