 The Santa Fe To the Students of Cleburne Hi h School I have an abiding faith in young people in general, and in the students of Cleburne High School in particular. Understand that “no keenness of wit, no shrewdness of bargaining, no plausibiltiy of reasoning, in short, that no trickiness of mind of whatsoever sort can for a single moment overcome, or offset, a fundamental weakness of moral fabric.” You should have an honest and pervading respect for work, and a preparation and a willingness to render a full measure of it. Your attitude toward your school tasks is a true index of what will be your attitude toward the adult tasks of life. Each of you should strive for an intellectual sincerity that will enable your minds to commune with the minds of some of the great thinkers of the world through their written and spoken words. He clean; be courteous; be square. Happiness consists in being busy with some useful work. “The cradle of liberty is the home; its training ground, the school; its dedication place, the Church.” Y'erv sincerely, W. S.

 The Santa Fe Trail The Men and Women of Tomorrow Only today in a conversation with one of our former graduates 1 was surprised at the frankness with which he expressed his appreciation of bits of advice (often unsolicited) we have given. He said, “If they only knew what is ahead of them and how necessary it was to thoroughly prepare, their point of view would be changed.” Never in the history of mankind were the possibilities greater than now; never has the world called with more earnestness than at the present time for men and women who are really fitted for leadership. This leadership can only come to the well prepared conscientious student. The world soon detects sham and hypocrisy and their exponents soon lose the footing and temporary advantages gained. How often we have wished to lay back the curtain and let you, my young friends, see the glorious possibilities awaiting you. That being impossible, we can only entreat and urge you, by faith, to press on and on. In the coming years, may you look back with pleasure upon our association in Cleburne High and with the conviction, that, though often abrupt and may be a bit crusty, we have had your interest at heart.
