-t VXA! I I 'Y ZW SUP'T. E. W. MONTGOMERY has won the admiration ot educators every- where. This yea: he was elected president ot the National Association ot Secondary-School Principals and was also awarded an honorary doctorate by the College ot Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons at Los Angeles. Leadership Takes Courage, Foresight TIME AND PROGRESS will not Wait for those who prefer to Wait and see how things turn out. Leader- ship falls only to the courageous and farsighted men and Women who dare to challenge all negative forces and fight for the principles that have made our coun- try great. Our leadership at Phoenix Union High School is of this caliber. Headed by Supt. E. W. Montgomery, nationally-famous for his accomplishments in the field of education, our faculty is outstanding in every way. t13l More than three-fourths of our teachers hold the mas- ter's degree, a number have earned the doctorate, and all are specialists in their field. Our teachers realize the importance of inspiring each student to do his best, to develop initiative. For there is no lasting security in remaining one of a hugh, unthinking mass. Sooner or later, every student must learn to take care of himself . . . entirely on his own merits. And thanks to our teachers, We're learning how to do just that. J 1 ll

Our only hope that such evil can be averted lies in the brand of leadership the world brings forth. Atomic power can produce untold blessings if it is directed in proper channels. Greed, avarice, fear and suspicion must give way to understanding, unselfishness, and a wholesome desire to share the earth's goodness before the Atomic Age can mean anything worthwhile to the common man. Education, of course, is the answer. A free press, demo- cratic government, freedom from the fearful evils which still engulf the world can be effected through education. And our American system of education for all who de- sire to learn points the way. Our way of life promises iq X-RAY PICTURES are taken of civic leaders to start the campaign against tuberculosis. Being photographed by the X-ray is Mayor Fleming. while Superintendent Montgomery and other officials wait their turn at the Boy Scout Cottage. equal opportunity, training in citizenship, development of particular skills, a continuously happy existence. But we must work to maintain such a system. We must share the burdens if we are to share the benefits. BOARD Ol-' EDUCATION members are pictured here during a business session.
