In this building, in the fall of 1920, Yakima Valley Academy opened its doors to all who wished to come. The management of the school has been under the direction of six principals: Professor D. Ochs, 1920-1922g Professor L. B. Losey, 1922-1925, Professor H. F. Weaver, 1925-1926, Professor F. E. Stratton, 1926-19295 Professor R. L. Hubbs, 1929- 19323 Professor W. G. McCready, 1932-1934. During these years the assembly hall, two cottages, and the woodwork shop have been built. The campus has been improved until it is the most beautiful spot in Granger. Many students have here gained a richer experience in life, and have gone on through college and out into the Lordls work, where they are faithfully bearing the banner of the cross. The early students found life somewhat difficult at times. The dishes had not yet arrived when school first opened, and they had to use bucket lids for plates. The laundry was all done by hand. They were not discouraged, however, in their determin- ation to obtain a Christian education. The buildings and equipment have been im- proved, but the lofty standards and ideals of education and Christian living are still being upheld. We are determined to keep Yakima Valley Academy a developing institution. RIZPAH BISHOP. 6
