HOOFBEATS I VOLUME 10 THE HIGH SCHOOL BOY AND GIRL OF 1949 North Phoenix High School PHOENIX, ARIZONA

Page 11 text:

Foreword In 1939 North Phoenix opened its doors to high school students. Since that time there has been an endless procession of boys and girls entering as freshmen, advancing into the ranks of upperclassmen and, eventually, earning their diplomas to join still another class — the alumni. These students all shared some things in common — a highly qualified faculty to guide their footsteps, a beautiful campus to use and to be proud of, new buildings with modern equipment, and all the extra-curricular activities the school had to offer. During the years many changes took place in our school and country. Our school was enlarged by an addition of a north wing to the Science Building. The cafeteria under- went many changes to become the up-to-date establishment it is today. And, last, but not least, the Mustang Corral came into being. Our students served their country In the midst of all this growth came Pearl Harbor! with the same fierce loyalty they served their school. That war is nothing but a rapidly fading memory to us now. Four years have passed since then. In that time a United Nations was set up bringing with it the problems of every country in the world. Great scientists split the atom, unleashing hidden stores of atomic energy. And we, in America, became thankful of our democratic government, as we watched Communism seep into Europe. Yes, this last decade in which we have lived has brought many changes. But have these changes affected us? Could we stand by, watching all this, and yet keep our minds focused on our own scholastic affairs? Have we been deaf to the cries for help from all over the world? We can answer those questions, but we would rather have you find those answers for yourself in the pages to follow. And so with that purpose in mind, we present to you a living picture of youth today — The High School Boy and Girl of 1949.
