These Are Mine In my old, but useful halls and class rooms are you, my students, who have come to learn. For what am I here, but to teach, develop and mature you to go on either into the world or to higher education. Through .my almost sixty years, I have seen students come and go. Some are gone forever, like my beloved Zedo Ishikawa. Some have gone and returned to teach those who have followed. But all of them and you here have learned to love and respect me. It is through this love and respect that exceeding spirit has been developed, tears have been shed, courage has been built, fine examples have been set, and humility has been taught. You have learned to accept both victory and de- feat, honor and humiliation. It is through this love, that the cry You can't beat Mesa High, has come into ex- istence. Meaning not so much in score and victory, but through strength, courage, and good sportsmanship. To you, my students, the Superstition has been dedicated.
