With the addition of the new building, Monroe has one of the finest agriculture and industrial arts buildings in the Pacific North- west. The agriculture department will be able to do almost any kind of repair work. The wood shop with its new equipment makes it pos- sible to build all kinds of furniture. The students of M.H.S. are most grateful to the board, their par- ents, and the state for the new opportunities thus offered to them. As Chairman of the Monroe Board of Education. I am glad to say we have had a successful year. We have made many improvements of our grounds and buildings such as the fence around our Memorial Field and tennis courts as well as the new shop and garage build- ing and many more general items too numerous to mention. Our District is in as good a financial condition as any district in the county and on inspection of the budget, even with all of the increased costs, the money has been very carefully spent so as to keep within our budget. We have worked with the Superintendent as a team and have found him very co- operative and business-like in all our transactions. The Board has had a very pleasant year and it has been a privilege to serve as Chair- man. The outstanding project for the year was the construction of our new vocational building which was formally opened on February 25, 1951. As Chairman. I feel this was a great accomplishment as it was so urgently needed and will be used by the coming generation. I congratulate the members of the Senior Class for having completed their high school careers and I wish each of you continued success. Mr. Percy Dyer Chairman, Monroe Board of Education

ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION—Life itself—is based on the Christian and Democratic principles we see so consistently displayed in our school life, those same principles and ideals which we sincerely feel to be the one hope for preserving our civili- zation throughout this Atomic Age.

You have been told that you are living in a very trying age and that you are graduating into a world ot turmoil and strife. This is all very true but a nor- mal period of time is historical fiction. The success or failure of your life depends upon your own abilities and efforts. I wish you the best of everything for the future and I shall glory in your success. Sincerely. Gerald D. Ladley Superintendent ?R C maa14 PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE We always look forward to the appearance of the Hayu Saghalie which is a treasured memento of the year's activities.
