Future reveals exciting plans. In the past, Pacificana staffs have taken pride in saluting faculty members whom they felt had taken a special in- terest in the school. It is in this respect that we wish to honor three retiring in- structors who have given the maximum in time, effort, and interest to you, the students of Pacific. In a sense, these edu- cators are taking with them a part of Pacific itself for it is not only bricks and mortar that constitute an institution such as this, but also the fine character of each faculty member which pervades the very foundation of the school. It is with great pride that we salute Miss Marie Lind- blom. Miss Blanche Preston, and Mrs. Jo- siphine Vaughn, each one of whom have been at Pacific since its opening in 1953.

Extensive growth seen in future Reaching an anticipated zenith of 4,500 stu- dents, Pacific ' s continually growing student body will necessitate more and more new facilities. In- cluded in present plans are 1 8 new classrooms and a new auditorium, all amounting to $900,000. Over 170 qualified faculty members will be need- ed to man the overloaded Pirate Ship. The growth and progress of Pacific itself reflects the continuing growth and progress of San Bernardino, the United States, and the world. As long as people receive an education, the progress of the world will con- tinue; for enlightenment does and always will nourish progress. We will have all the necessary ingredients of enlightenment as long as there are students who want to learn and those who are willing to spend a lifetime helping them realize the true value of knowledge. MARIE LINDBLOM Tripping around the world to see the places known to her through many years ' study awaited Miss Lindblom next year. Also included in her itinerary was time to read the things neglected during her long teaching career. BLANCHE PRESTON Naming an around-the-world trip as foremost in her after-retirement plans, vagabond pirate Miss Preston planned to visit such famous and alluring places as Tahiti, Bangkok, Mandalay, Spain, and the Kingdom of Swat.

Deserving commendation for the outstanding job done in preparing students for adult life, faculty members created the friendly teacher- student relationship so con- ducive to learning, earning the respect of every student. No instructor was ever too busy, or too uninterested to spend extra time giving spe- cial instruction to any stu- dent in his area of difficulty. Since the founding of Pacific ten years ago, the faculty has increased from 43 to 1 25 members. With this increase has come a growth in the quality of instruction, train- ing, and spirit. Teachers en- thusiastically supported all ASB functions like true Pir- ates, turning out in numbers to sport events. We com- mend the faculty. 12,
