wafer ,915 flue mainfenance of Water and hard work, vision and the will to succeed- and the desert is reclaimed. Rich, broad acres, once useless and idle, have been turned into abundant green fields. Canals orderly reflects born in ter, the This water, that now flows so gently within canal banks, was carry the water that made all this possible. Flowing and placidly, this water is a thing of beauty as it the blue sky and mirrors the lush acres-yet it was rugged mountain crags with the deep snows of win- thaws of spring, and the wild cloudbursts of summer. once moisture laden clouds that swept in from the ocean to drop rain, then tiny rivulets and streams, mighty lakes im- pounded behind massive dams, then long winding canals and ditches that finally brought it to the lawns and fields. This is the miracle that makes possible the life here on the desert floor of the Valley of the Sun. Grim and forbidding as the rain clouds over Supersti- tion may look, they bring hope to the desert-and that hope is the very essence of existence. l Life here at Mesa High School runs along smoothly and quietly most of the time as does the lazy river or the quiet water of the irrigation canal. The gay, sparkling, laughter of boys and girls as they gather in the gymnasium for a for- mal dance is like clear bubbling water of a cool mountain stream. The fullback plunging through the opposing line for the winning touchdown, the straining muscles of the sprinter as he throws himself at the tape, speaks of power iust as much as does the rushing, pounding water that turns the mighty turbines as it cascades from lake to river bed. The energetic study of boys and girls that pushes them on to higher levels of knowledge is like water that leaves the canals to furnish moisture for the tiny, thriving, green plants. Water serves us not only as a source of economic sup- ply but also provides us with pleasure and entertainment such as fishing, swimming or boating. Small creeks play gracious hosts to summer vacationers and perform many tasks as they live out their short lives. It is wonderful to be able to leave the sweltering heat of summer days in the city to live by a swift cool mountain stream and breathe crisp fragrant air. lt is always a pleasure to sit on the shore of some quiet lake and marvel at the beauty of the last fiery rays of the sunset as it sinks slowly in the west. It is delightful to be able to seek out places of interest and have a rendezvous with Spring herself as she sets up her court in the desert and foothills. Small summer showers cause poppies to bloom, palo verdes to turn yellow, and small hills and fields to become rich green carpets. Yes, just the joy of gazing at some of nature's wonderful color schemes brings peace to the soul. School life too has its pleasant side. Just to be able to attend school events with friends and mingle with associates to talk over the happenings of the day is something to cherish. The many happy moments that are spent at dances, parties, and social affairs will bring back smiles of happy remembrances in years to come. FULII' Mirrored in the irrigation wat- er, which does a great deal toward keeping them at their best, are the stately trees and shrubs which make our campus the most beautiful in the state.
