GULLETT, Principal To the Students of Austin High School: In a few brief days the school year of 1927-28 Will have become a part of the glorious traditions of Austin High School. The history we have lived and made this year Will not soon be forgotten, for its impress is on our very souls. We have Worked together, hoped together, striven side by side for a common end, thrilled With a common pride. The bitterness of each defeat or disappointment has been allayed by the consciousness of the complete symg pathy of our fellows. Never have the forces of our school operated in such unison. When, as the occasion arose, you Went alone or With your fellows to repre- sent the old high school, you carried With you the hopes and prayers of us all. Now the time has come when we must send out one of our greatest and most distinguished groups of representatives the Senior Class of 1928 May every one remain unfalteringly loyal to the ideals of Austin High School May you never stoop for Victory nor quit fighting When faced by defeat.

MR. A. N. MCCALLUM, Superintendent ,e To the Graduates: In the oldest public high school in America, the English High of Boston, there is a statue, the work of Daniel Chester French. This statue portrays a boy going out into the pleasures and responsibilities of life. His face is youthu ful, but on it is the inspiration of hope and ambition. Behind him is the figure of the ufostering mother, his Alma Mater, bearing a shield upon Which are six Words, llBe clean; be courteous; be square.H This she is about to hand to the boy With the hope and expectation that these words Will be his guide all along lifels pathway. Not many weeks hence your Alma Mater Will bestow upon you a diploma, certifying that you have done your work well in the Austin High School. After all the sacrifices of your parents, after years of instruction, all of us have a right to expect you to be citizens of high personal character; that you Will fit into the social order and be of real service to your city and state, that you Will take interest in public affairs, that you Will cultivate the capacity of co-operat- ing With other worthwhile citizens for the public welfare. The Austin High School feels sure that you Will not fail, that in all the fer lationships of life you Will be clean, be courteous, and be square. A. N. MCCALLUM
