TRIBUTE = TO OUR SCHOOL WHEN WE, THE STUDENTS ANDO THE TEAGHERS, FIRST BEGAN SCHOOL IN THE NEW PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDING, WE WERE FACED Wi TH MANY HARDSHIPS WHICH MADE iT DIFFICULT FOR US TO’ CARRY ON OUR WORK TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITIES. HANDICAPS WERE EXPECTED, OF SOURSE, BUT THEY COULD HAVE SEEN LESSENED BY THE EARLIER COMPLETION OF THE BUILDING. IN CONSIDERATION FOR THE WORKMEN, SCHOOL WAS RUN ON A SHORT SCHEDULE FROM 8:30 To 1300 UNTIL NEAR THE END OF THE FIRST SEMESTER. ALTHGUGH WE WERE PRESENT {iN THE BUILDING ONLY HALF OF EACH DAY, WE MISSED SUCH CONVENIENCES AS ELECTRIGITY, HEAT AND WATER. AS FOR OTHER INCONVENIENGES, LACK OF LAB AND SPORTS EQUIPMENT, BLACKBOARDS, AND EVEN ROOM SPACE = THEY WERE MINOR, WHENEVER A PERSON ‘COMES INTO POSSESSION OF ANYTHING VALUABLE, HE TREASURES IT, TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF PRIDE IN 1T, AND 1S INTERESTED IN ITS WELFARE. OUR COMMUNITY IS NOW IN POSSESSION OF SOMETHING PRICELESS = OUR SCHOOL. ALREADY THE PEOPLE OF OUR GOMMUNLTY HAVE BAGKED US IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, BY ATTENDING THE GAMES AT HOME AND AWAY, BY FURNISHING CARS FOR THOSE BASKETBALL TRIPS,.AND BY PUTTING ON BARBECUE SUPPERS FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR CAFETERIA. We HOPE THAT IN THE FUTURE THE PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOL WILL BE A TOKEN OF GRATITUDE TO YOU, OUR PATRONSe OuR SCHOOL IS AS A NEW-BORN BABE$ SUPPORT IT, CHERISH IT, AND WATCH IT GROW. . WiTH A BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE IN MIND, THE TEACHERS HAVE STRUGGLED ON THROUGH MANY HARDSHIPS IN HUPES OF BETTER CONDITIONS iN THE NEAR FUTURES THE FACULTY AS A WHOLE HAVE BEEN AND ARE CONTINUING TO BE READY To DO THEIR BEST TO MAKE THE GOOD BETTER,AND THE BETTER THE BEST. WE HAVE ENJOYED THESE PIONEER DAYS IN THE NEW SCHOOL = THEY HAVE BEEN A GREAT CHALLENGE To us.
