. . . . mfs. H. CE. SCI-IHEFER isrvmiisufwh To the staff, sponsor, and constituency of the high school year-boola l extend best wishes. It is a distinct pleasure to be associated with you in your worh. Seest thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings. The world's worlz must be carried on by ambitious builders as you-be that worla material, physical, or mental. The thought of the following poem may be talzen as a worthy ambition: LUe have builded magnificent bridges l.Uhere the nation's highways go, O'er perilous mountain ridges Hnd where great rivers flow. wherever a linlz was needed between the new and the hnown They have left their marlzs of Progress, in iron and steel and stone. There was never a land too distant, nor ever a way too wide, But some man's mind, insisted, Reach out to the other side. They cleared the way, these heroes, for the march of future years. The march of Civilizationfand they were its Pioneers. LUith lzindest personal regards to all, l assure you that my office is ever ready to extend a helping hand. Sincerely, H. G. SCHHEFER Business manager, Conroe Schools
