THELO D. MOTES PRINCIPAL The future holds much for Northern Yuma County Union High School, as it is the single high school representing Northern Yuma County. Much progress and growth has been prevalent in the past few years and much more is necessary in the near future if it is to maintain its present high standard. Its present high rating was attained by the progressive, cooperative, and untiring work of the Board of Educa- tion, Faculty, Student Body and Community Supporters. Our high school offers a challenge to the youth of Northern Yuma County. If they would but avail themselves of this opportunity for an education their future would be richer, happier, and they would have more sustained lives as fruitful citizens. Education is the hope of the nation, the Savior of civilization. Education de- pends much on the effectiveness of the work of the teacher and the teacher's work is full of caution. One small cloud can hide the sunlight; loose one string, the pearls are scattered; think one thought, a soul may perish; say one word, a heart may break. So let us as citizens and students of Northern Yuma County be more mind- ful of our educational opportunities, and to that end dedicate ourselves to the future growth of N.Y.C.U.H.S. and education everywhere.

‘Saard ScCucatioK Oscar Francis, Member Guy McCain, President Alice West, Cleric EDITH VIOLA HAYDIS OROSCO Vice- Member President You will say Who are these people? We never saw them at school! This is your 1949 Board of Education, one comes from Wenden, one from Salome, two from Parker, and one from Parker Valley. We are elected by the people of Northern Yuma County Union High School District and serve without pay for a term of five years, one person being elected, or re-elected each year. The duties of the Board are to make the tax dollars go as far as possible, and though you may never know it, we know a lot about you, how you are getting along, what you need and must have and what we would like you to have if we had a tree out in the school yard with greenbacks growing on it instead of green leaves. We are all anxious for you to be- come stalwart, happy, industrious citizens, to build up our communities of Northern Yuma County and our country. We want each student to take something away from the school which in turn can never be taken away from you, and which will always be yours alone, to use and enjoy all through your life, and that is a fine high school education. ALICE WEST, Clerk. 3
