No stairway is complete without a guardrail to keep one from falling or straying. Our administration represents the guard- rail on our stairway. As we build this stairway, the teach rs make sure we know we are using the material at hand cor- rectly; the principal, and guidance counselors, and registrar make certain we take the best advantage of the h lp ofFered us. Our school board makes certain there are enough materials at hand to build each stair.6

II. W. JORGENSON MARLON S. BATEMAN Assistant Superintendent C. N. CRAWFORDSchoo[ Board CLYDE V. BUXTON Th school board has done everything possible to h lp us build our stairway without flaw or fault. They provide a schedule for us to follow so we will b abl to r ach our goal by gradua- tion. They also supply our administration with mal rials and advice so that th y can do their job mor fficienlly and more effectively.HARRY BOB JIMAS 9

A good school is more than buildings, equipment, books, supplies, and budgets; however important these may be. Even a carefully selected faculty p rsonnel and administrative staff do not complete the r quirements. The ultimate measure of the quality and success of an educational institution is the learning experiences provided and the degree to which these experiences m et the n eds and desires of the community which creates and supports it. Our democracy depends more on the quality of its schools than on the educational contribution of any other single social agency, with the possible xception of the home. This knowledge gives vision to our planning and tutus to our efforts. Jordan High School can be proud of its record and tradition. We must continue to develop and expand our educational cone pts and practices, to keep abreast of the accelerated patterns of present day thought and action. With our roots so splendidly entrenched in the past, w can look to the future with courage, con- viction and enthusiasm. G. Reed Sanderson10 Principal

Counse[ors Working with Mr. Sanderson, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Goldbranson have done their utmost to make sure all students make the most of their opportunities so they may attain graduation. Mr. Casper and Mrs. Fitzgerald have worked with students to help them overcome the problems that they individually meet. These four counselors together have kept records of the students' activities and achievements. They have capably handled a student welfare program which has proven very effective.DUNN L.

The foundation of our stairway is firm and faultless. We have built it this way only through the help of our faculty memb rs. Through the past year, they have directed us with much enthusiasm. They en- couraged student participation in all phases of competition and promoted good sportsmanship and loyalty which in turn brought many honors to Jordan. Chin up- chow down! BLAINE BROWN FAY B.
