We are ever mindTul ThaT The creaTive men who serve us as TrusTees and give so much oT Their Time and energy To youTh and our schools, are Themselves True symbols oT The American Way and our pro- gressive school sysTem. When The Pilgrims came To America one oT Their TirsT acTs was To esTablish a school Tor Their children. And when The early pioneer seTTlers came To Siskiyou CounTy They early esTablished schools Tor The beneTiT oT Their children and Their children's children. We are graTeTul To Those early Pioneers oT EducaTion, and we are deeply graTeTul also To The men who make up The presenT progressive Board oT TrusTees oT The Siskiyou Union l-ligh School DisTricT, whose consciousness oT The TaiThTul and unselTish discharge oT Their civic duTy can be Their only reward, and Through whose eTTorTs we are enioying The beneTiTs oT one oT The TinesT educaTional sys- Tems in The STaTe. The TirsT evenT in The hisTory oT The Siskiyou Union l-ligh School DisTricT was The TormaTion oT The Siskiyou CounTy i-ligh School aT Yreka in I893, which included a greaTer parT oT The TerriTory in Siskiyou CounTy. The Siskiyou CounTy l-iigh School laTer became The Siskiyou Union l-ligh School, buT Tor abouT TwenTy years, The high school aT Yreka remained The only one in The DisTricT. Then, due To an increasing need Tor high schools and The ToresighT oT Those who served The DisTricT as TrusTees, provisions were made Tor The esTablishmenT oT Tive addiTional high schools wiThin The Dis- TricT, which were siTuaTed aT Dorris, ForT Jones, Weed, MT. ShasTa, and McCloud. SubsequenTly Three addiTional high schools were added To The lisT. aT l-lappy Camp, TennanT, and Tulelake making nine high schools in all wiThin a single disTricT wiTh a uniTied plan oT adminisTraTion and one adminisTraTive head. The disTricT, as above sTaTed, is made up oT nine high schools wiTh a Teaching sTaTT oT 74 Teachers and an enrollmenT oT more Than l,5OO sTudenTs. The Siskiyou Union l-ligh School DisTricT is said To be The largesT school disTricT in land area in CaliTornia. The seniors oT T940 are Truly graTeTul and appreciaTive Tor The Tine group oT men who make up our progressive l-ligh School Board, and Tor The excellenT sysTem oT high schools provided Tor us.
