Calhoun, M.A. Principal of Denton High School Remember me as one tv ho tried To make your uorld a bit more wide; As one who yearned to smooth the hills To flowing plains, and bridge the rills; As one who labored joyfully To loose for you the best in me. Remember me as one who sought To give you wings—white wings of thought A. O. Calhoun Someone has said that the most congested, timeworn street in the world is not Broadway or Fifth Avenue. The street upon which the greatest human traffic jams are to be found is Rut Street.” It is a broad, level, easy stretch which leads to oblivion. If you go through today just as you did yesterday, without new plans, thoughts, ambitions, and if you are satisfied with doing as you did last week or last month, you are pounding the pavement of Rut Street,” a thoroughfare which leads to nowhere. If you would avoid this street to nowhere, decide where you wish to go. Profit by past experiences; dream dreams; see visions; but above all, work hard. Work diligently. Do thoroughly and with a willing heart what you find to do hour by hour, week by week, and year by year. Then on some fine day you will find that you are where you wished to be. The sentiment expressed by Walter Adams in his little poem, TO MY PUPILS,” expresses my wish to you as you leave old D. H. S. for your life’s journey.

Dr. Spencer Stoker Otis M. King Deats Headlee Second Row: Lee Preston Fred Cobb Third Row: Lex Morris Carol Garrison School Board First Row: By R. C. Patterson Superintendent of Denton Public Schools To the Student Body: A year ago you and I were total strangers, and I was wondering what you were like. I knew a great deal about the Denton school system, for its records of achievements in variou activities are well known throughou the state. But there are so many types of student bodies that I was eager know you as a group and as individu I agree with Thomas Fuller, who sai A good school master studieth his scholars’ natures as carefully as they their books.” Your spirit of friendliness R. C. Patterson, M.A. from the first and your whole-hearted co-operation convinced me early in the year that here, indeed, was a student body of the highest type and, as I have come to know you individually, I have been gratified to find that you are young men and young women who are ambitious and energetic, and willing to co-operate with the authorities of the school. We all agree that 1935-36 has been a successful school year, even though we have suffered disappointments and have experienced some failures. Solomon in his wisdom said, A friend loveth at all times.” So now we love each other and Denton High School better than ever before. And furthermore, I hope we can achieve the fulfillment of that definition of friendship which says it is intimacy united with affection or esteem.
