Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1969 volume:

MiWj i In understanding and deep appreciation this volume of theMed- ford Cardinal is dedi- cated to Coach Earl Allen. From 1964 to 1969 his guidance and friendship has stirred in the student’s the chal- lenge to succeed in life. As ineachyear, may his every endeavor have been worthwhile; may these seedlings grow tall and straight. 2 Board Of Education EDWARD J. CLARK, President GEORGE H. BOCOX, Vice-President DON MELKA Member MARVIN GREEN, Member HENRY KRETCHMAR, Member EVELYN KEITH, Clerk-Secretary This past year, it has been my pleasure to realize the successful fulfill- ment of plans originated by the Administration and Board of Education of this school. To accomplish these results, it has required the complete cooperation of a competent faculty, staff and a responsible student body as well as in- terested patrons of this school system. The Board of Education wishes to thank each of you for your excellent support. ED CLARK Pres., Board of Education ORRD OF £ oucprnoN 4 EUGENE V. KEITH Superintendent Congratulations to the student body for the many worthwhile contributions you have made during the school year. I am proud of the accomplishments of our student body. Many of you will be leaving our school after this year for additional experiences elsewhere. Success in experiences can be predicted if you have exerted yourself in our school program. There is an excellent basic education program available in Medford for all who will participate and dis- cipline themselves. Students leaving our school have compiled a fine record. I know you will continue this tradition. Thank you for your cooperation and enthusiasm. There is a great opportunity in our world today for those with sufficient discipline, courage, and character to prepare themselves well. 5 DON SCHUNEMAN Principal The youth of America is among the most outstanding resources of our nation. Unlike other re- sources, this one will not be depleted in quantity. Our chief concern is one of quality, we are con- cerned about the outcome of the total person, spiritually, intellectually, physically and socially. It is our aim in the Medford School System to- create the very best environment and atmosphere for the development of the total child. It is a privilege to work with the students and patrons of this community. You are most coopera tive and helpful in the operation of our school. 6 FACULTY CLEETIS BOYER Math N.S.C. , O. B.
