Message from Mr. Branton . . . after whom our school is named! It is with pleasure that I write a message to the students of the Branton Junior High School for their first Year Book. The students of Branton Junior High School are in an unique position in that they are the first student body to be enrolled in this new school. This may be con¬ sidered an honor, but with it comes a challenge and a responsibility. The future success of this school depends much on how well the foundations are laid upon which a tradition for academic attainment, a high standard of fair play and sports¬ manship and a worthy school spirit are engendered into the minds and hearts of the student body. The accomplishment of this is your challenge and we sincerely hope that you, as a student body, will successfully meet it so that you may, in the years to come, be proud that you had a part in the founding of Branton Junior High School. I make a second challenge to you individually, as young students entering upon a high school career. You should be aware from the start that the way is long, the grade is steep, and you must be prepa red to give of your best. There is no substitute for hard work; there are no short cuts — no primrose path leading to the acquiring of a sound education. This comes only by your will to achieve. I commend to you that you set your sights high. Apply self-discipline to the end that first things come first — that is, that those things which endure and give qualityto life and character have first place in your thoughts and efforts. You are passing through the most important years of your life. Your future success and happiness largely depend upon how well you use these years. Some day when your high school years are over you will step out into a very competitive world, demanding a high standard of ability and efficiency. Be ready and equip¬ ped to meet this challenge. Mrs. Branton and 1 have noted with interest and pleasure the success that your school has already attained in the realm of sports and congratulate you. We wish you further success in the days to come. Sincerely, W. A. BRANTON Four
