S S N Seniors: You are graduating in exciting times. We read in our history about great events in times gone by, yet we are living right in the middle of man 's greatest construction projects--bigger than the world has known before and greater than the works of the ancient Romans or any other people of historic time. As individuals we are seldom in a position to achieve these great works, but we can engineer our life so that it will make a contribution to the total sum community well-being. Can you and I not take some inspiration from this greatest work of man and try to encompass within ourselves some of its greatness. God gave us a mind and a soul. A great mind and a great soul often does more for humanity than even the greatest engineering work. Could you be the one to make some contribution to this accomplishment? You have the mind and the soul--have you the will? l dare you. 0 9

xx, ,M,-I,--I I well remember when Mrs. Rice first came to the Oroville Union High School. It was in the year I936. I was looking for a good homemaking teacher, who cooked neatly and slicked up as an example for the girls. In Mrs. Rice I had found the one I wanted, not only in that respect, but a teacher intensely interested in young people and one with the preparation and know how to teach. For 2I years we have worked together. Now she has retired. Together with I7 years of teaching in other places, she deserves a well earned rest. Words often fail to express our appreciation for another's virtues. But I know, and hundreds of girls know, that countless homes are better today because of Mrs. Rice's teaching. The unsolicited testimonials that have come to me from many, many graduates verify my own belief in the great contribution she has made. No greater accolade can be given teachers than to say that they have woven a part of themselves into the life of their students for betterment of the students. This, Mrs. Rice has surely done in abundance. My highest praise is that she was a teacher.

The Board discloses the policies that shall control the school and can make any rule which in their opinion is important to the welfare, safety or moral standards of the school, so long as it does not conflict with a state law. lt is interesting to note that four board members are graduates of O.U.H,S., Dr. Robert Bethel, Mr. Raymond Leonard, Mr. Ernest Gibson, and Mr. Jack Andrews. Mr. Pank has had two children graduate and has devoted years of service to the school Recognition is seldom given to these persons, all busy business men, who are willing to spend hours on end of their own time with no reward whatever, other than the satisfaction of helping young people. ,fb DI s , R nv Www.
