PRINCIPAL JOSEPH M. TEWINKEL Westward Ho, the Wagons! It is good to discover that the 1957 Tamarack theme is- pioneer days in Spokane. These davs are closer than they might seem. My father, left an orphan at seven, worked his way West in the 1880 ' s and knew vigilante days, citizen posses, and the terror of Indian uprisings. He numbered dozens of Indians his friends and taught English to Chinese attracted by gold rushes. When we were youngsters, he would drive about Spokane on Sunday afternoons point- ing out historical landmarks. The most exciting visitor to our home was Samuel Augh, a long- haired, wmite-bearded scout, naturalist, and geologist who had fought many Indian engagments. engagements. The word pioneer has wonderful implications. The pioneer believed in law and order and felt that it was his personal responsibility to aid in dealing with wrong-doers. Today ' s exaggerated TV westerns distort Western life, but they correctly portray the willingness of every good citizen to back what was right. The pioneer always wanted good schools, good churches, and a good community. He sacrificed freely to bring them into existence and to make the West what it is. Whenever a community loses the basic pioneer ideals centering about the support of law and right, the maintenance of educational opportunities, and a man ' s responsibility to his Maker, it is on the trail to decadence. May we long live in the pioneer spirit in this fine community !

Se ti y%6, ttaev eve fa e wi leave . . . VICE-PRINCIPAL ROEERT J. HOESLY Tamarack Day is a happy, friendly day. a day when some students soberly reflect upon thi-ir educational achievements of the past four years. Americans have accepted the principle that young people are entitled to an education. Education is a term which should bring to the mind more than knowledge acquired from books. It creates a sense of responsibility and the ability to work with and cooperate with other people. It develops both tolerance and appreciation of the people we meet in our daily lives. May your achievements here reward you dividends in success and happiness in the vears to come. 12
