GREETINGS TO THE STUDENTS IN BORGER HIGH SCHOOL: The passing of this school year will have a different meaning to each of you. To those of you who will seek your next educational step, may I say: Have a purpose. Do not go to college merely because of some friend who is going or because of the social opportunities it will afford. You will find plenty of friends and social opportunities without seeking them. Select a goal and work toward it with earnestness. Know what you want, and shape your course of study toward that end. To those who, through choice or necessity, are going into some other lines of endeavor, I say also: Have a purpose and work toward it. May your hopes and dreams be realized to the fullest extent, and in the years to come may your names reflect credit upon the institution that has been your home during the formative period of your life. Best wishes, I , u I Principal.
