Published by the Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian Church, this large, double-sided poster solicits funds to “help Indian youth” by constructing a new high school building at the Ganado mission.

One side of the poster shows idealized views of “student life,” with montaged scenes of campus accompanied by cheerful captions like “science is absorbing to the high school set.” The other side of the poster lays out the financial breakdown of funds needed to complete the 64,000 endeavor, and specifies how a donor can participate in the drive.

The Ganado mission, which was developed alongside J. Lorenzo Hubbell's already active "Hubbell Trading Post," served as a center for education, healthcare, and cultural exchange between the Western Missionaries and the Navajo community. The Ganado Mission grew to become the largest domestic mission of the Presbyterian Church and the largest Native American mission in the United States. Shortly after the mission was founded, a school for Navajo children was opened, and a decade later, in 1911, the Sage Memorial Hospital was opened. This was the first non-governmentally funded hospital on an Indian reservation in America. In 1930, the hospital founded its School of Nursing. The school provided a professional nursing education, which until the founding of Sage, had been denied to women of racial minority groups. It was the first and only accredited nursing training school for Native American women in the United States.

The Mission and the Hubbell Trading Post were designated as a National Historic Site in 1960.
