To the Senior Class: I would have you serve. Wordsworth says: “That best portion of a good man’s life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.’’ The world needs service. Texas needs service. And may not our State expect sendee from you? There were never so many kinds of service open to the willing as in our own day. But you cannot serve properly until you arc fit to serve. This is your period of training for serv'cc. You cannot have better training than taking this for your motto: “ Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things arc honest, whatsoever things arc pure, think on these things.’’ Your friend, Superintendent, Twenty-live

To the Senior Class: In selecting the early history of Texas as a motif for your annual, you have been led to study the fine courageous characters of these pioneers who have made possible the privileges that you and I are enjoying today. We are living in a wonderful age which offers opportunities greater than have ever been in the past; and if we would prove worthy of those stalwart men and women that blazed the trail in the early days of Texas, we must fortify ourselves with an education that will qualify us for our new duties and responsibilities. I have faith in the members of the Senior class of Brackenridge to contribute their part toward the development and progress of our beloved State. Your friend, Twenty-six
