Mr. Enos Gary Principal 11FE is an intriguing highway. Past human experiences have built J a roadway that you may safely follow. Long stretches of this road are paved and marked for travel. Other portions of it are still under construction abounding with sharp turns, unmarked forks, obscure bypasses and detours at irregular intervals. If by any chance you should leave the main thoroughfare for exploration purposes be sure to examine well the surrounding terrain. It may be thrilling and interesting to battle the clutching fingers of shifting quicksands and quaking bogs, but your smothered body and soul is apt never to be recovered. Beware of the precipices in your pathway. Best wishes to each of you Bracken ridge students for an enjoyable and profitable trip and a safe arrival at your chosen destination. Exos Gary
