Y V. B. Armstrong, Superintendent Haney LeBlanc, Principal THE SUPERINTENDENT SPEAKS We learn poorly if we are working at the process only because some person or group in authority insists that we should learn. We learn much better if we really believe that we need an education, but we never fully test our capacity as students until the time comes when we get our hearts set on doing something which requires a certain background of knowledge. Then, as we attempt to build up this required background, we may approach our real capacity as learners. Therefore, my hope for the young people of Toppenish isg that, as time moves on, more and more of them may have their curiosity stimulated early in their high school years through having made an early and wise choice of a vocation. THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKS Poor indeed are the boy and girl who have no school to which they can be loyal, of which they can be proud and in whose achievements they can glory. lf, perhaps, some personal contribu- tion has made possible your school's accomplishment, then there is added cause for just pride. Herein is the record of you and your school for the year 1946 and 1947. Your instructor, your class, your team, your pal-they are all here. With them you will associate triumphs and defeats, your work and your fun, even, perhaps your hopes for the future. Keep this book. lt is you and yours-with the years its value will grow. To the seniors who are leaving-ma ou take some trace of intellectual enthusiasm with . . D lf Y, . . you. May your ideals stand the trials of lifes experience and may your dreams worth dreaming come true. 6
