Thus iT is our sincere hope ThaT This boolc will presenT a clear, com- pleTe, and True delineaTion of school life.

To do This means ThaT The whole series oT liTe siTuaTions musT be looked over and Those besT suiTed adopTed Tor use 'in preparing sTudenTs Tor liTe. There are many problems OT curriculum making. oT sTu- denT adiusTmenTs To be meT. always wiTh The idea oT whaT is This individual To do wiTh his problems in The TuTure? We musT aTTempT To picTure him in The environmenT he will probably face in Those days ahead. Proper leadership musT be provided To give sTudenTs The help They are enTiTled To, boTh Tor solving cu rrenT problems as well as Tor anTi- cipaTing TuTure goals. l be- lieve ThaT sTudenTs appre- ciaTe good leadership and Through iT absorb proper ideals oT ciTizenship. There is a lasTing impression made upon The sTu- clenT oT high school age by his insTrucTOrS. Our hope Tor The TuTure lies in The parT These seniors leaving US are To play in Our F1EiiiOr16l li'Te, and 'They Tell Us wheTl'1er or n0T we have done our work well by Their direcTion oT our democracy. The number of high school and college graduaTes voT- ing in l94O will be almosT double The number who voTed in l936. For This reason we expecT Them To help awaken our ciTizenry Trom iTs leThargy. when They come inTo acTive liTe. There have been sevenTeen million who have enTered acTive liTe since T929 and eleven million who have leTT iT. Those enTering have kepT America Trom swinging To The leTT during our naTional crisis, as They were beTTer prepared To meeT The emergencies Than Those who have dropped ouT, Our hope for The TuTure is Tounded upon The gradual increase of Those wiTh proper ideals, who are being Trained by all The agencies Tor upliTT in America Today. The schools Today zealously Tollow The work OT Those leaving and are inTeresTed in Their success. We believe The school liTe oT This presenT graduaTing class has been happy and successful, and we have every reason To believe ThaT They will be happy and successTul in Their TuTure work.

UnTil The consTrucTion of The pres- enT building in 1906, school was held in The Tuolumne CounTy CourThouse. ln I9l6 The high school disTricT was organized wiTh a board oT TrusTees appoinTed by Mr. G. P. Morgan, CounTy SuperinTen- denT oT Schools. The TrusTees have The managemenT and conTrol oT The school. ln so Tar as The Tunds will per- miT, They are To place wiThin The reach oT all s+uden+s oT The disTricT every TaciliTy posible Tor The ad- vancemenT and proTecTion oT public educaTion. Through The principal They have inTimaTe knowledge oT The acTiviTy and problems oT The school. Through W. P. A. assisTance, Sonora l-ligh School has made improvemenTs in iTs planT, specifi- cally, by The consTrucTion of Three Tennis courTs and a grandsTand seaTing 4-,OOOQ compleTion of a TooTball Tield, Track and baseball diamond: erecTion of a garage To house buses, and The building oT drains, curbs and sidewalks. Because oT The exTreme overcrowding oT The school, The TrusTees have planned Tor several years To erecT a suiTable building conTaining an audiTorium, classrooms, and a science laboraTory, buT due To The lack of Tunds, iT has been impossible Toaccomplish This obiecTive. We hope To be able To se- cure a granT Trom The Federal GovernmenT and To ask The people of The high school disTricT To voT'e Tor a bond issue To cover our porTion oT The cosT oT This building.
