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.

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!!

.JY s ,.nfS4ffi:e.:Qz1fe.eaz-- ..:5ff 's GMA! Fw Tomowofw Redwood now must dedicate herself to betterment and self-improvement. She must set her goals for tomorrow. The school has come a long way since its doors were Hrst opened but has yet to attain the ultimate perfection. Only time, sincerity to this cause, and hard work can bring the school closer to these goals. One goal Redwood may choose is for a more unified student body, one who supports strongly all academic, ath- letic, and extracurricular events. Although Redwood's spirit is high, it often lags for certain sports. Programs such as A.F.S. need to be more actively and enthusiastically sup- ported by the entire student body, and not just a small segment. Another goal may be for the continuance of the newly conceived traditions such as Orpheus and the English Club. Such traditions provide an outlet for interested and tal- ented students and need to be encouraged. Redwood may choose as a goal the gaining of the respect of the surrounding communities. This respect may be gained by the attimde we put forth before the people and the type of behavior we exemplify. No matter for what the goals Redwood choses to work, if she works diligently, they will benefit the school. . W, , lull,
