Much of the former growth and development of our country resulted, directly or indirectly, from our territorial expansion westward from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. Now most of our territorial frontiers have disappeared. Therefore, the ambitious youth of today are less likely than formerly to profit from the advice Go West, young man! Our future development is likely to be in quality and not in size. This is desirable. If we are to progress steadily toward this latter goal, we must preserve the American form of government. Furthermore, we must find ways to increase the number of informed citizens who actively partici- pate in making our government - local, state, and national - function honestly and efficiently. This calls for better schools than most communities have heretofore been able to provide. In the Orland community, the people are increasingly aware of this need for superior educational opportunities for all the chil- dren. Some of the steps in this direction are portrayed within the covers of this book. Virgil Henry

Faculty. . . The faculty this year con- sisted of ten members. We were happy to welcome three new teachers to the staff. They are Miss Emma Stigall in the English De- partmentg Mrs. Velma Ben- nett in the Commercial De- partmentg Mr, Bill Adams in the Physical Education Department. The newcom- ers fitted into the system nicely and the faculty en- joyed a particularly har- monious year. Personality plus is the rating due Miss Shirley Goodman. She keeps our tribe's records up to date, handles correspondence, and does many other secretarial tasks. She is a cheerful friend to the tribe members who stop at the office. l MISS SHIRLEY GOODMAN School Secretary BILL ADAMS Administration Assistant and Physical Education VELMA BENNETT Commercial Studies WILLIAM BROWN Sciences HILDA GEUTHER Home Economics JOY HISER English and Social Studies JOHN J ORSTAD Industrial Arts and Athletic Coach DELPHINE LIPECKI Mathematics I ELSIE ADAMS PAULSEN Music Department WILLIAM PRITCHARD English and Spanish EMMA STIGALL English and Physical Education
