E T gt., W THE REVIEVY 1931 W The Principal NVhat changes eleven years under one administration have brought about in our school! In 1920, when Mr. Bowhay became principal, there was a student body of 200 and a faculty of 15 members. The school was a small white two-story frame building. Remarkable, is it not, that after so short a time a faculty of 41 members is scarcely large enough to carry on the work for a student body that has bee11 enlarged to almost 700 and continues to g1'ow from day to day. The editorial i11 the 1921 Review called attention to the need for increased housing and larger grounds. The board and citizens of the Santa Maria Valley felt the same need a11d with Mr. Bowhay's and the student body's help pushed forward until the building of a new school was an actuality. In 1920 there was no Junior College, but it became an issue in the election of school trustees that year and tl1e results showed that the people of the Santa Maria Valley approved the establishing of such an institution. Mr. Bowhay has been the principal since it 's inception. The growth of our Junior College has bee11 rapid, in- creasing from 7 to 125 students. This increase in High School and Junior College crowds the school unbearably and the editorial mentioned above might well be used again as our present needs show additional housing facilities are urgent. In all the aceomplislnnents sponsored by the Board of Trustees, eMr. Bowhay 's helping l1a11d has bee11 i11 evidence, and he has worked consistently with the students welfare in mind. NVe know no finer man to st.and for the right at all times than our friend illlll comrade Arnold A. Bowhay Jr. 7 Page Sixteen Ji qgsil PL. -Bing

1931 Wm - THE REVIEW W Board of Trustees F. McCoy, Clerk Porter S. Clevenger, President C. W. G. Murdock H. R. Saulshury Floyd V. Pitts Due to the unseliish efforts of a, broad-minded and forward looking board, our school is in every respect well abreastof the times. Two members, who were in no small way responsible for our progress, are no longer with ns. They are Mrs. NVinters and Mr. XValler. The former was succeeded by Mr. Sanlsbnry and, in October, when the latter resigned, Mr. Pitts was appointed to take the place. Mr. McCoy, Mr. Murdock, and Mr. Clevenger are still with us. D Vile hope that the new members' pleasure in serving ns is as great as our satisfaction in having them administer to us. Page Fiffeen u. A i'r'-+-egg E' ' i ,uh ,Us exihrkm
