Forward A year - or a century. ln either event the historian makes an authentic record of all tha' has happened. So, too. the yearbook reg- isters each succeeding event as it occurs, thus building step by step a record for posterity. This year, in recognition of the one-hund- redth birthday of the City of Snohomish, the Kla-Ta-Wa staff has adopted the Centennial idea as the theme of its 1959 edition. Thus we shall portray not only what has happened in the past school year, but we shall present some facts of the Centennial observance that is occurring in our home town. A tracing back through history reveals that Snohomish originated in 1859, hence this year's Centennial Celebration. It became the county seat. established a newspaper, and went through a period of prosperous growth in the late 1800's. Even the influence of the Klondike fever was felt when, between 1897 and 1900, over three hundred townspeople headed for the Yukon. Paralleling the city's development, the school system grew from its original session held in the parlor of Mrs. Sinclair into its pree sent dimensions. First known as District 1, it eventually became District 201 through in- crease in population and additions from ad- ioining areas. Just as a centennial celebration not only marks the close of a period of history, and opens vistas looking to the future, so this year's Kia-Ta-Wa has recorded the main events and activities at Snohomish High, thus form- ing another link in the historical annals of our school, but it does not stop there - it, too, looks ahead and envisions what the fu- ture holds for succeeding generations of SHS students. Therefore, we, the yearbook staff, present this 1959 edition of the Kla-Ta-Wa: a record of what has happened during a won- derful year - and a prelude of events to come. Verna Volz - Editor TWO
