During the past several years many improve- ments have been made on the High School building and grounds. The present school year, however, has seen the greatest improvement of all in the replacement of the old shop by an adequate and modern plant. The building of this unit demonstrated that major improvements can be made without subjecting the District to heavy obligation. lt is hoped that the realization of this truth will result in the shop's becoming not the end at a program but the beginning of a series ct improvements that will give our school and community auditorium ond gymnasium iccihtie: equally adequate.

PRINClPAL'S MESSAGIE You will alwoys recall the R. l'l. S. generously distributed on books, jackets, and other paraphernalia during your high school career. I trust these recollections will evoke the happiest of memories. Since those initials represent a growing, living institution, it is consistent they should represent something vital and useful throughout life instead of an epitaph of by-gone days. Hence may I suggest that as R. l-l. S. calls to mind personal recollections, you also recollect that R introduces reality. lgnorance and cupidity always attempt to influence standards with pseudo-isms of various sorts. A course among such shcals is best guided by principles of real worth, Be genuine in all things, loyal to fellow-workers, faithful to ideals true to friends H initials happiness, best attained by seeking and earning good fortune. Also may that H remind you to strive constantly for that superlative happiness born from bringing joy to others. initiates self-activity. Today's engine does not have to be cranked Nor will the public bother to prod you. This is just, for such stimulus is not needed by one who uses his abilities as a worker instead of rests on them as a drone nor by one who has the good sense to realize that the world does not owe him a living but does furnish real opportunity for earning a living by proper initiative. We sincerely hope that discrimination for reality has been quickened, capacity for happiness increased, and ability for self-activity developed here so that recollections of R. l'l. S. will always bring fresh stimulus to their application.
