Jluz, u, ' . . Q 30411, nl mldflutf. The seniors of the class of 1939 of the Siskiyou Union High School District are gratefully appreciative of the fine system of high schools and the splendid educational opportunities the Board of Trustees of the Siskiyou Union High School District is providing for the boys and girls of the Siskiyou Union High Schools. We are ever mindful that the creative men who serve us as Trustees and give so much of their time and energy to youth and our schools, are themselves true symbols of youth and our progressive school system. When the Pilgrims came to America one of their first acts was to establish a school for their children. And when the early pioneer settlers came to Siskiyou County they early established schools for the benefit of their children and their children's children. We are grateful to those early Pioneers of Education, and We are deeply grateful also to the men who make up the present progressive Board of Trustees of the Siskiyou Union High School District, whose consciousness of the faithful and unselfish discharge of their civic duty can be their only reward, and through whose efforts we are enjoying the benefits of one of the finest educa- tional systems in the State. The first event in the history of the Siskiyou Union High School District was the formation of the Siskiyou County High School at Yreka in 1893, which included almost all the territory in Siskiyou County. The Siskiyou County High School later became the Siskiyou Union High School, but for about twenty years, the high school at Yreka remained the only one in the District. Then, due to an increas- ing need for high schools cmd the foresight of those who served the District as Trustees, provisions were made for the establishment of five additional high schools within the District, which were situated at Dorris, Fort Iones, Weed, Mt. Shasta, and McCloud. Subsequently, three additional high schools were added to the list, at Happy Camp, Tennant, and Tule Lake making nine high schools in all within a single district with a unified plan of administration and one admin- istrative head. The district, as above stated, is made up of nine high schools with a teaching staff of 73 teachers and an enrollment of more than 1,500 students. The Siskiyou Union High School District is said to be the largest school district in land area in California. The seniors of the class of 1939 are truly grateful and appreciative for the fine group of men who make up our progressive High School Board, and for the excellent system of high schools provided for us. --e F .H+ LJ S JS -4 -'J
