ADMINISTRATICJN AND FACULTY In 1896 Mission High School was dedicated, and its doors opened to the youth of our community. There is no record of the words uttered at the dedication ceremony, but in view of the contribution which has been made to the culture, welfare and development of our community by Mission High School, the fol- lowing dedication, which was written by William Henry Scott, would, indeed, have been appropriate for the occasion: Let us now with earnest hearts and with exalted faith and hope solemnly consecrate this building to its high and holy purpose. May the youth of this com- munity for generations to come gather in this place to receive instruction in knowledge and training in virtue. May they find here every condition necessary to a true and enlightened education. Especially, may their teachers be examples of excellence in scholar- ship and character, seekers after goodness and truth, lovers of children, enthusiasts and adepts in the finest of all arts, the development and inspiration of human souls. May these rooms always be pervaded with an invigorating atmosphere of mental and moral life, and may no child pass from this school to a higher school or to the outer world without having been made more intelligent, more thoughtful, more courage- ous, more virtuous, and in every way more capable of wise, just, useful, and noble living. It seems fitting on the occasion of the fiftieth an- niversary of the founding of Mission High School, that we, who are now privileged to be associated here, should re-dedicate our school to these noble purposes in order that the heritage which was left us by those who have gone before may be transmitted to succeeding generations.
