E. W. THOMSON CHOSEN BY SCHOOL BOARD TO LAUNCH NEW DISTRICT Prior to his career as superintendent of Brush High School, Mr. E. W. Thomson started on his ladder of success when he received his diploma from Appleton City High School in Missouri. After attending Southwestern Teacher's College in Springfield, Missouri, he moved to Boulder, Colora- do, where he finished summer school to receive his Master of Arts Degree. Mr. Thomson taught at Ignacio, Colorado, before moving to Brush. Here he was appointed as principal of Central School. During the depression he held the position of principal and also taught eighth grade math. Mr. Thomson was principal of Central for four years. When Mr. Thomson is not occupied with our welfare he enjoys his spare time working with his ham radio or photography. TO THE GRADUATES OF 1965 The question for all the graduates to settle for themselves is not what they would do if they had the means, time, influence of other advantages; the question is, what will you do with the abilities you have? The road to success is not a smooth way over which someone is going to carry you, but usually is a rugged path filled with many obstacles. I would not wish it otherwise, but hope you have all the desire and determination that is necessary for each of you to be a success.
