Treasuring Our
April 18, 2015
Please join us for this exciting day to look back at the
history of RJ Neutra School. The staff, students, and
NAS Lemoore community felt that preserving their time
in 1965 was important. In 2015, fifty years later, we will
celebrate their time and preserve ours with a new time
capsule to be opened in 2065.

1965
SEALED APRIL,1965 - OPENED APRIL, 2015
A new library was dedicated in April of 1965 at
RJ Neutra School. Part of that dedication was
the burial of a time
capsule. The desire
was that it be opened
in 50 years.
“El Gato”
The Mascot in 1965
We are still trying to find out
information about the school’s
mascot. The yearbook indicated
that “El Gato” had won a color
T.V. Maybe the time capsule will
provide some additional
information.
New Library
Dedicated in 1965
Many guests attended the
dedication of the new library.
Diane Brown had the honor of
cutting the ribbon to open the
new library. Mrs. Jenkins was the
school Librarian.
Fifty years later the library is still
an important part of each
student’s education.
In April of 1965, RJ Neutra School students, staff,
and community buried a time capsule to preserve
memories of their time. Mr. Harold Mason was
the Principal and Mr. Jesse Clay was the Vice
Principal.
In 1965 U.S. Planes started combat missions
over South Vietnam. NAS Lemoore, its proud
service members and their families would be
called upon to defend the interests of the United
States in the Vietnam War.
On April 18, 2015, the students, staff,
community, and visitors of RJ Neutra School will
open the time capsule and place a new time
capsule in the same location that should be
opened in April, 2065.
RJ Neutra School would like to invite everyone to
visit the Aviator Memorial located on Reeves Blvd.
bypass between NAS Lemoore Mainside and
Operations side as part of our festivities.
The RJ Neutra Library will also be honored for its
50 Year Anniversary to RJ Neutra students.
