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

Great White Fathers You are lucky young people. Compare your lot with that of a teen-ager one hundred years ago. Radio, television, and iet planes were undreamed of. Your future is bright. You will see greater changes in the next twenty years than occurred in the past hundred. But let's not think of material things alone. Certain principles remain constant. Honesty, integrity, love of country, God and fellow- man will be iust as important one hundred years from now as they are today and as they were one hundred years ago. Remember that even in these days of scientific wonders, man still tells time by the sun and stars. HAROLD B. MOE FOUR Difficult as it is to imagine what Snohomish must have been one hundred years ago, it becomes even more of a problem when we attempt to look into the future. Yet each one of you will have an opportun- ity to contribute to that future. What it be- comes is going to be conditioned by attitudes, the habits and the way of life that your gen- eration is developing today. lf you are willing to make the necessary sacrifices to prepare yourselves adequately, and accept the responsibilties that should ac- company that preparation, then the changes could exceed our wildest expectations. G. A. MOORE Our country was established as the result of the vision and courage of our early pio- neers. All of the past history of our country has been written by men of vision and cour- age. The future history of our country will also be written by men of vision and cour- age who will take advantage of the oppor- tunities made available to them. Many of you will be taking part in our centennial celebration this year honoring the people who founded our community. Every- one of you will contribute to the progress we make in the next century. Your contribu- tions will depend on your taking advantage of the opportunities which are afforded every- one in our free society. MR. HEDLUND
