151 I For Freedom of Thought and Hotion World events during the past year have increased our gratitude for America and the freedom of thought and action for which it stands. Nowhere else could we enjoy such privileges and opportunities. But then, that is our heritage. At Phoenix Union High, good citizenship has always been an ideal. Because we want the respect of our associates, we know that fair play, cooperation, clear thinking, active participation in civic affairs-all are essential, nor do we have to wait until after graduation to practice these ideals. We consider our school a com- munity in itself. Directed by Superintendent Montgomery, every teacher and student in the or- ganization plays an important part. Talented student writers, musicians, artists, speakers, mechanics-all are recognized. Everyone is encouraged to express his ideas and to participate in the successful practice of democracy. We like to take sides in political campaigns, and to participate wholeheadt- edly in local enterprises such as Fiesta del Sol, the Rodeo, county and state fairs, the Horse Show and all the others. These are our extra-curriculars in learning how to appreciate our fellow townspeople and the places we, as citizens, shall sometime occupy in the community. is the Academic Committee. Meeting each day, this board, consisting of administrators, teach- ' ' t ers, and students, has skillfully and tactfully guided many a perplexed student onto the right track. An important cog in our wheel of progress ACADEMICALLY speaking, this committee will fill the bill. From left to right are pictured Dr. Eastburn, Miss Sherman, Constance Xalis, Super- intendent Montgomery, Dean Stone, Mr. Barney, Charles Christy, Dean Rosenberry.

Each is Expert in His Chosen Field No corporation president could have gathered a more efficient board to assist in the administration of the firm's affairs than Mr. Montgomery has found in his cab- inet ofthe department heads at Phoenix High. And justly so. lnstead of working for the sale of manufactured goods to the public, the cabinet deals in citizenship, a rare and precious commodity indeed. Upon Dr. Eastburn, registrar and director of research and guidance, falls the responsibility of organizing class schedules, checking credentials and attendance, planning and evaluating new courses, examinations, scholarships-to mention a few of his duties! Business Manager l-l. M. Bargman directs the purchase of supplies and dis- bursements, supervises letting of contracts. Dean of Boys William Stone and Miss Ethel Rosenberry, dean of girls, are di- rectly in touch with over 5000 students through the Boys' Federation and Girls' League.
