Molivaliadw om L66'V1Ni-4A All learning must be motivated. The primary motivation for students is their youthful eagerness and enthusiasm to learn new things. By offering a diversified but penetrating curriculum and inspiring teaching, Redwood stimulates this quality in the student. The curriculum and teach- ing motivates a student to see how much knowledge he can accumulate. This motivation is further whetted by competition with fellow students. The col- lege bound student has to meet the ever- rising entrance requirements and must constantly keep up with his contemporar- ies. The job-bound graduate must learn successfully the subjects he now takes in order to build a foundation for the new knowledge he will be accumulating in the world of business. The composition is manifested in the abundance of scholastic honorary clubs and academic awards. If the curriculum, teaching, and compe- tition remain at their present level, they will continue to inspire a great motivation for learning in the students and Redwood will continue to rank high academically. 4.15 2. ifiii' '. iifiiiii iili lHfR'!Q2,Q!l',E!!

There has been at Redwood this past year an underplayed lot of individuals who have been ob- scured in the busy life and times of school. Nevertheless this ambitious group has worked hard to make that name of Redwood a meaningful one and with little or no recognition for their efforts. Our little gianti' may be the fleetfooted anchor man in the 1600 meter relay, the indispensible team manager, the ready and willing committeeman, or even the dauntless canteen assistant facing up to his demanding customers. Our little giantess may be the first in the downhill and deciding time for Redwood's claim to the junior Ski Championship trophy, the Log ad salesman out bargaining with hesitant prospects, or the skilled poet writing of an anonymous poem in answer to the pleas of the Orpheus II staff. Whatever they may be engaged in they may be assured that their efforts are not in vain and that they are appreciated as vital cogs in the machine that is Redwood. 0 0 is I

NAM O6 Vedwiay Wu XJ' .... ,,,..v-an ,l When Redwood came into being in 1958, the student body and administration had many ideals and hopes for the school. These were converted into the plans of yesterday and as these plans have been completed they have inspired plans for tomorrow. In 1958 one and all planned for a unified, spirited student body. Today Redwood has successfully accomplished this primary plan of yesterday. As proof she can offer the spirit trophy won at the Tournament of Champions. Another primary plan of yesterday was to make Redwood outstanding academ- ically. This plan, too, has been realized. The curriculum has been broadened and the students have actively participated in scholastic organizations and have gone so far as to form an English club and publish the second edition of their literary maga- zine. Wlhen Redwood began, they made plans for athletic supremacyg throughout three years of existence she has maintained just that in one sport or another. The biggest plan of yesterday was to build a school which its students could well be proud of. Through the realization of plans in the fields of spirit, scholarship, and athletics, Redwood has become such a school.
