A New Decade. . A Yearbook is Born A Yearbook is born. How did it grow? Seeds of inspiration. . . Creative ideas. . . Helpful encourage- ment. . . Active cooperation. . . Accepted responsibility. . . Eager enthusiasm . . and struggling staffers all working together toward intangible rewards to create the 1970 Saguaro SENTINEL. Such a creation matures through long hours of hard work and many sleepless nights. Each page is nurtured to depict an accurate account of the school year. Maturity is reached when the finished product records experiences, activities, friendships and the most detailed stages of Saguaro High memories. The production of this yearbook would not have been possible without the guidance and encouragement of our sponsor Miss Shari Forbes. To her we express our sincere thanks for making this year one of challenge and satisfaction. Our appreciation to our yearbook representative from Yearbook House, Julia Miller, cannot be conveyed through words. The time and effort she contributed was uabove and beyond the call of duty. Many thanks to Mr. Rockwell of Diamonds for the formal pictures in the Honors section. For their interesting innovations, a well-deserved thank you to our staff photographers, Paul Pelletier, Jim Hurtle, Jim Ray, Dave Moritz and Lyle Beitman. Their patience and skill helped us to meet our many deadlines. I extend my personal expression of gratitude to an exceptional group of yearbook staffers for their cooperation and hard work. The turn of the decade will be marked in the memories of Saguaro students by the 1970 SENTINEL which will help them recall their countless high school experiences. Remembering the 1970 school year, the entire student body can proudly shout, Hey Look At Us Now! 284-CONCLUSION .. , . M... SENTINEL Staff Editor-in-Chief ........................

Fred Pratt is Awarded Doctorate in Education 'tThe process of getting things done has exposed me to many fine professors and fellow students at all the schools l attended. lt is these associations that have helped me to become more understanding and aware of edueationf' The words above attest to the temperament of a dignified Saguaro instructor and administrator, who despite his advanced education and years of experience in the realm of learning, remains a humble and extremely open-minded individual. lt has been to Saguaro High Schoolis delight that such an outstanding man this year received his doctorate in secondary education. Dr. Pratt, who acts as both an administrative assistant and American history teacher, began his preparation for college in a public high school in lllinois. After graduating in l940, he served as a journey- man machinist in Wisconsin. Joining the US Navy, Dr. Pratt acted as a radioman cryptographer, and after this service to his nation, entered the University of Illinois. Under the auspices of the GI Bill, Dr. Pratt completed a program in physical education, social studies, and biological science, which led to a B.S. degree in P.E. and a minor in the other two disciplines. He then enrolled at the University of Wisconsin, where he received his lVl.S. in Education Administration in l954L. After the completion of this level, Dr. Pratt resumed his study of secondary education at ASU, work which was completed in August of 1969 and led to a doctorate in education. A vital and progressive individual, Dr. Pratt plans to undertake post- doctoral work. He rejects the stagnation which often occurs within high school systems and favors the dress code which Saguaro gladly accepted. lnnovation, he feels, is a challenge. Commenting on his accomplishments, Dr. Pratt states that even after the years of inten- sive study, he desires to discover more, and suggests that degrees are not always indicative of intelligence, instead, they reflect the indi- vidual's persistence and will to achieve. Dr. Pratt has a profound respect for the opinions of young people and is unafraid to acknowl- edge students' points. Now that the tension of a thesis, numerous tests, and oral exams has been relieved, Dr. Pratt senses a deep satisfaction and desire to apply his skills at all levels of student affairs. Under such fine leadership, Saguaro students are proud to exelaim, 'tHey Look at Us Nowln DEDICATION-283
