'v .. i i if ,,v .1 n etrospect Dear Friends: Certain years become landmarks in the history of an institution. In the life of Monterey Union High School, the purchase of our campus, the improvement of the ath' letic field, the two periods of construction, and the beautification of the grounds set up such landmarks. In contrast to these, the present year will be known as the year of change. Recognizing the crowded condition of the school and the Peninsula's need of collegiate accommodation for its high school graduates, the hi h school board bought an additional site, held an election to raise money to improve' it, and applied for Public Works Administration aid in erecting the necessary buildings. But movements arose to have a separate high school in Carmel and to transfer some of the northern elementary school districts from us to Salinas and Watsonville. The netresult of these conflicting movements was to reduce our district by six elementary school 'districts and leave us with a student body that is likely to diminish by a hundred twentyffive, or so, students during the next two years. To add to the variety of student and faculty experience, a boiler room fire in September put the heating plant out of commission and compelled the dismissal of school for two weeks. Despite these temporary setbacks, there has been growth in various ways. In numbers, all previous years have been surpassed, and the day school enrollment has ex' ceeded eleven hundred. The adult school has again reached two thousand, in round numbers. In the more important matters of studentfteacher enterprise, joint effort has resulted in some championship teams, a long list of successful undertakings, a few new clubs to keep social and club opportunity expanding with the growing enrollment, and in the opening of some new or wider avenues for the expression of student skill and energy. Frequent radio programs are one illustration. Larger, more numerous, and more expert musical organizations are another. The Shop has reached a peak in its en' rollment, in the range of its opportunity, and in the fulness of its use of its facilities. Shop boys are following a new plan in their study of English and history. In student finances, there have been some disappointments, but the desperate measures demanded some years in the recent past have not been called for. All in all, therefore, this Annual helps record and signalize a year of happy accomplishment for both teachers and pupils. Faithfully yours, J. R. McKu.1.oP, District Superintendent 0
