G ARDIANS As guardians oi the Emerald City of Knowl- edge, we, the members of the Board of Education, have been entrusted with a task of highest importance. To many of you stu- dents, the Board members have been un- known and just shadowy figures along the edge of the yellow brick road. We sincerely hope that with our unseen guiding hand we have successfully completed the various phases of the complex work, while helping you throughout the journey to graduation. This great job which we have undertaken has permitted us to joumey over a road also. Our journey has not been the happy of the Emerald City carefree trip that you students made over the yellow brick road, but a journey of planning for the betterment of your school and your education, of creating policies for the school, and of handling the financial affairs. In conclusion, we Board members hope that we have been wise guardians, and that we have fulfilled our positions to the best of our abilities, As the members of the class of 1954 journey somewhere over the rain- bow, may you live up to our expectations oi you.

fh DR. G. CLIFFORD SINGLEY Supervising Principal .5 79 1 1, 1, , flllllllllllllllllll llllln I llllllll 111111111 . cults wizmw 6 Z My congratulations to all ol you upon your recent accomplishment. For the past four years you have lived and reacted in a world which is only indica- tive ol the realistic world which you are about to enter. Like Dorothy, you have been confused and, at times, afraid. You have had, like Dorothy, an unusual experience not open to all young people throughout the world. Like Dorothy, you have been com- manded and moulded in your actions, but, unlike Dorothy, you have been given the opportunity to think freely, to make your own decisions, and to form the beginning of a pattern for your life. To live these four years in a schol- arly Oz has been an invaluable experience. Now the time has come for you to move on, away from the Emerald City of protected life and into a new realm, the real world of real people, more precious than any city constructed of gems. How well you apply the knowl- edge and ability to think gained in the academic enchanted world will determine whether you become a cowardly lion, a man of straw, a tin man, or a worthwhile person vital to a progressive world. Realize and utilize those things you have gained during your years in our academic Oz but also recognize that Oz is only a limited dream world. You are men and women now, not Dorothys skipping down a crooked road which leads only to momentary pleasures. My sincere best wishes to all of you.

They understood that a successful and happy life is an active life. Each new situation meant feeling, thinking, and acting in some new way. lust as the Scarecrow needed brains, the Tin Woodman desired a heart, and the Lion cherished courage, so each student seeks in some way self-realization and hopes to make his life more complete and satisfying, Because the conditions giving rise to any kind of development are infinitely complex, Regional has provided a guidance and counseling service to help the student understand his concept of himself, his readiness for action, his inner springs of conduct, and sometimes even his inner conflicts. Many things are involved in personal adjustment-physical conditions, family pressures, cultural and racial backgrounds, and the influence of friends. The aim of the guidance department at Regional is to help each student make the most of himself and to make certaln that the goals and ob1ectives of everyones l1fe are the highest attainable Guidance helps each student deal with the forces that make for the limitations relationships and demands of the present so that when goals and purposes are realized they are not found to be as Dorothy and her friends found the great and terrible Oz fmerely a ventriloquist from Omaha who was tired of being a humbugl but are the dynamic guide posts of a rich and satisfying life Sit down help you Im ready to f'.A Wait a minute Gordon Its all here in your record
