Expanded edition of the 1941 yearbook for the students and employees of the Phoenix Indian School.
"Since the printing of the yearbook in 1941, some changes have occurred in the enrollment of students at the Phoenix Indian School. At the present time, the children from the Navajo tribe comprise about forty per cent of the enrollment and therefore, a section on the Navajos has been added to the original book. Contributions to this section were made largely by students in the Five Year Special Navajo Program because seventy-five per cent of the Navajo students in our school are enrolled in this program"--Introduction (second half) by Glenn C. Lundeen.
