principal's message AN OBLIGATION Chico High School will change radically in the not too distant future unless we vitalize our traditions, strive to make these traditions a living part of all who enter our school. California is growing at a tremendous rate. People of all kinds, from all over the United States are thronging westward. A change has come over our state, a change for the worse. One needs only glance at the newspapers, listen to the radio to recognize the downward trend. This population surge will soon come to our community bringing with it all types of social problems including those of Chico High. We have an exceptional student body, students who respect their school, and who are extremely proud and fond of Chico High. Over the years we have developed high standards of school citizenship, of achievement in many fields. You have won the respect of all those with whom you have associated. On your various trips representing Chico High our students have brought honor to Chico and Chico High. This surge of population will bring with it those who would break down our standards, trample on our tradition and ideals, change the complexion of Chico High unless you, the students of Chico High, do all in your power to uphold those traditions, ideals, and standards, and imbue every newcomer to Chico High School so that he will become an ardent sharer in them, and that he will in turn transmit the ideals of this school to those who follow him. You and I have the obligation to "transmit this school, -- not les~, -- but greater, better and more beautiful -- than it was transmitted to us." This is our obligation, our duty, our privilege. Let us not fail! Carl ]. Schreiter
