MILi B.A., M.S., University of lllinjis. t 4 » 1 . - ' ' ■ Vtf Principal Notes School ' s Growth During the past twelve months, Rolling Hills High School has matured into a four- year high school with its first graduating class. We have seen our campus facilities reach completion, our grounds beautifully landscaped, our student body and faculty substantially expanded, and representa- tives of our school continue to establish a reputation for competence in such areas OS scholarship, athletics, music, student government, and publications. The senior class, our first group of graduates, deserves congratulations as does the entire student body for the way they have accepted and handled their responsibilities. To the Class of ' 66, may I, on behalf of the faculty and administration, wish you the very best in the years ahead. — David H. Miller Principal Leadership Role For Mr. Miller Often the course of progress is imped- ed greatly for lack of able leadership. At other times, leadership is available, but is of the type that brings out as much of the negative as the positive among the followers. Neither is true at RHHS, where the en- tire school follows the lead of Mr. David H. Miller, principal. It is he who oversees the total operation in the inspiring and dignified manner that has won him the admiration of all who have worked with him. Mr. Miller ' s dealings with students and faculty members are carried on in both a formal and informal basis. He fre- quently mingles with members of the stu- dent body during lunch and at co-curricu- lar activities in addition to his contacts with the staff in committee meetings, in his office, or over a cup of coffee in the faculty dining room. In a more official capacity, he directs the school ' s operation through meetings of the administrative council, composed of department heads and the assistant principals.

Dr. Butterbaugh In Eighth Year The mammoth task of overseeing and managing a school district containing 15 schools and thousands of students was handled for the eighth straight year by Dr. Wayne L. Butterbaugh, superintendent of schools. Under the superintendent ' s direction and guidance, many would-be problems of one of the fastest-growing school districts in the nation were met and treated efficiently and effectively. Concerned as always with the future growth of the peninsula and providing the best possible education for its students, the Polos Verdes Unified School District Board of Trustees made many crucial policy decisions during the past year. Among these were the purchase of sites for the district ' s fourth high school, the approval of plans for the construction of Miraleste High, and the adoption of a new and expancfed foreign language program in the intermediate schools. Some efforts of the board that were of immediate delight to Rolling Hills stu- dents were the authorization of the pur- chase and installation of the bleachers and landscaping and the formulation and approval of plans for the new campus swimming facilities.
