, ' 125'-21 P' ---. f if us mamma it -' 1 9 2 5 To the Senior Class of Brackenridgc High School: No school is justified that does not servo its immediate community. Above J all things Brackenridge High is interested in developing each pupil according to his individual capacity. In this way We serve the community and the state. We keep ever before us certain objectives which we think of great value. One L of these is to train our young people to function as good citizens. To do this I they need to be trained' physically, mentally, and morally. All activities of A this school work toward these ends. Vi The class of 1925 is to be especially commended for the helpful co-operation it has given the executive in maintaining the ideals of Brackenridge High School.

Boy-s who have faith, grow up to be determined and useful meng girls who believe, become the women of influence and power! But faith, belief, will,-are not alone sufficient,-they must be accompanied by indomitable courage, great fortitude, and a persistent,-even stubborn,-determination to do and to become. You do not live in a Well of Eternity out of which Father Time draws you, on your signal, bedecked and bespangled with jewels! No, you make life real by being yourself life . You light your own candle, and protect somewhat its flame against sudden blasts. Do not make the mistake, my dear friends, of imagining that the Future is the Promised Land! No, i for the only Reality is the Present which means that every Day is life: and is at the I 1 s-ame time a preparation for life. G0 forward, but don't go too- fast! Heed the warn- ings of experienced guidesg but be not too afraid to blaze trails of your own! Do not say I was born under a lucky star and am therefore content! Say rather My destiny is in n1y own hands, I will not falter nor complain! In the meantime realize that there NY f , f are dark days, even very black ones, and that you will suffer and be beaten down: but f know that for every one there is light enough for the day's task: sunshine enough for - the most timid soul! It is dangerous to stay at the Fool's cabin. ki- Your friend, ' 1 X A , , rt - 5 . K X? ' ' XS is i I' ' ,xx V1 xc f- iff X ,ff--we-N, vu .N '!1y?ll! I ' I .. Q X Agdjlg, , . R W x 'W . -its X .

Q 5 fildh Sehvvl To the Senior Class of Bmclfmridge High School: Any farewell message that I might extend to the class of 1925 must of necessity be very personal, for I cannot think of you collectively without thinking of each of you individually, without thinking of the many happy experiences we have shared with each other. You are leaving Brackenridge: some to take your places at once in society, others to make further preparation by attending higher institutions of learning. Most ot you will eventually become leaders in some community, for you represent, to a great extent, the survival of the Httest. You have finished your course, while each year has seen numbers of your comrades fall by the wayside. You have made a record in scholarship and conduct that will be difficult for other students to surpass. Show the world that your high school training has meant more than mere scholastic attainment by taking your places as leaders and organizersg and, above all, show the world what fine men and women you are by living clean lives, inside and out. I have faith in you always to stand for the best. Your friend and sponsor, IX , i 1 K- My 1. X X i F -.ww 4.
