For U ,AWide Freedom of Choice FREEDOM OF CHOICE-that's one of our freedoms at Phoenix Union, too! We have wide choice in courses, teachers, subject mattery and if We are unhappy With our first selection, we have tt the opportunity to consider sf other choices. Granted that iQ Q' 6 6 our judgment may not be too -r sound at times, we're reliev- I. ed to find expert help in the Registrar's Office When it comes to changing schedules, completing requirements in particular fields, or other problems relating to school programs. Years of patient practice have made the office staff expert in expediting the changes needed to make us happier. These Workers keep accurate count C J of our credits, our debits, and our goals. Without their watchful attention, we'd get into many a difficulty. BOOKSTORE COURTESY goes further than the smiles and quick service We often accept as routine. The Book- store, directed by School Accountant Allen, is also a bargain store of values that stretch our allowance happily. School supplies reach us at minimum costs. SPONSORS OF CLUBS are grateful to Accountant Allen and the Bookstore personnel for many helps, including handling of funds. Thousands of dollars are tabulated and banked for the school plays, follies, publications, and athletics. Advertisers are billed through this office, also, and their payments recorded.

Educators In A Bustling Metropolis ALTHOUGH CELEBRATING more than 57 years of success in educating the young, Phoenix Union High School recently has undergone its most dramatic ad- vancement. VVith the change in Phoenix from a small desert town to a bustling metropolis has come a system of high schools and junior college that has won nation- wide attention. Teachers from the nation's leading schools have joined the faculties here, our superintend- ent has received highest honors as Phoenix Union High Schools continue to point the way in education. WHERE ONCE THERE was a small high school with a handful of seniors, there now are five high schools and talk of another one to meet the needs of expanding Phoenix. The Three R's get full attention, but so do many other subjects such as home making, shop work, speech, sciences, business and social education . . . necessary to prepare young citizens for a place in a complex society. With the complexities of such a wide system are myriad problems of finance, curricula, edu- cational standards. We are fortunate in our leaders. BOARD OF EDUCATION: From leit to right are Dr. Norman A. Ross, Frank Burch, lohn E. Herrscher, Dr. E. W. Montgomery, Dr. Trevor Browne, and Mrs. E. A. Bons.
