JACKSON PRICE, Disfrid Superinfendeni I+ has been remarkable how well members of Shasra Union High School Srudenr Body have responded 'rhis year +o 'rheir opporruniiies and 'rheir challenges. The rapid growih in enrollmenr, which has resulied in a raiher seriously overcrowded condifion, has presenled a crirical challenge ro 'rhe srudenl' body. Congesrion 'rends 'ro breed confusion. Classes 'foo large for efiecrive 'reaching somelimes lead ro problems of discipline, and obviously shifls more and more responsibilily for achievemenl' To 'rhe individual pupil himself. Mulriple lunch periods, duplicare assemblies, overlapping daily schedules and ofher such necessary innovarions all 'lend +o develop problems in decorum and school morale. In spire of all 'rhese handicaps, The sludeni body has 'rhis year held, and even greaily improved i+s high slandard of cirizenship. Those assigned ro classes in Memorial Hall have responded graciously. The cordial and cooperalive arrirude has prevailed in The classrooms and in 'rhe congesred corridors. Srudenls have 'raken increased inl'eres+ in beaurifying rhe campus and in school ac'rivi'ries. All. if seems, have ioined in building a more favorable repuiarion for Shasia Union High School. l should like lo exfend my sincere commendalion and good wishes ro our remarkable sludenl' body, and 'ro 'rhe Teachers who also make a mosf efleciive coniriburion lo our school. Our reachers make up one of Jrhe finesr facul+ies a Board of Trusiees could expect An adminisrralor would surely wanr no beHer. lr conrinues To be a pleasure To be a parr of such a friendly and cooperarive srudenr body and faculry. JACKSON PRICE. Dis+ric'r Supe rinlendenr.
