GLENN C. LUNDEEN NEW TRAIL Not too many years ago, the school year book was entitled The New Trail I imagine that this title was as fitting then as it is now. As graduates, you will be leaving the old trail and entering the new. Some of you have realized, probably for the first time, that the old familiar trail has suddenly come to an end and you find yourself facing a new one leading to many strange places. This change in pace provokes serious thought from all of you and should be looked upon not with fear but as an adventure which will challenge you at every turn. For many years, you have been studying and preparing for the New Trail . Let me remind you that this trail will sometimes be steep, narrow, and very rough but never so rugged that you cannot pass. To date, you have not been labeled as a quitter . In the future, keep the spirit and drive that has always kept you on the move. Employers and schools of higher education are always interested in students who are ambitious and moving forward. Gradu- ation is merely the beginning of many great things to come. New and im- portant responsibilities on the job and as a citizen will soon be yours. As you assume these responsibilities, always remember that your education was made possible by loving parents, interested and devoted staff members, and sympa- thetic citizens of the community. We are counting on you! As you successfully -noster this new trail , it will be an easier one to travel for succeeding classes. Be a credit to yourself, your school, your parents, your tribe, and your society. God bless each one of you and may the years ahead be filled with happiness and success! GLENN C. LUNDEEN Superintendent G RE EIINGS FROM VO UR PRINCIPAL We are living in an amazing world—a world that is fast becoming more and more complex. Phoenix has offered you the kind of training that will help you adjust to the many changes so you will become self-supporting citizens and able to make worthwhile contributions to your community. You have been provided with a good foundation that should help bring you success. What you do to build onto that foundation is up to you . Phoenix provides a good academic program, strong courses in home economics and vocational shops, as well as practical experiences in dormitory living. Actual participation in school activities has tought you the kind of citizenship which is needed to get along in the community in which you will next live. Some of you will go directly into jobs. Others will continue as students in the commercial fields, in the field of practical nursing, and still others in colleges and universities. You have my best wishes for success and happiness.
