Pl CD. CQLHQUN, III. H. Principal of DENTON HIGH SCHOOL ,ff Y ' J: I 1 , I . 3? 9' -, lm-1 Students of l 936-3 7: In the early' days of our country when schools were scarce and the terms short, the physical equipment was extremely limited. Fortunate indeed was the pupil who could boast a nice slate and a good soft pencil. A sponge with which to clean the slate ranked one in a class by himself. This slate served the pupil for a black- board, as a copy book, and a theme tablet. ' It was upon it that all of the problems of the three R's were solved. Although denied much of the equipment which we to-day consider essential, many boys and girls met these restrictions and hardships bravely and overcame every limitationp This was due to the dogged determination of the few who would do and dare. Their hard work, constant and sustained effort, coupled with courage and strength of character produced a sturdy group of pioneers who set the pace in the different professions for succeeding generations. To-day is no different. The price that each of us must pay for success is spelled with four letters Nw-0-r-kf' In conclusion, allow me to say that I hope that we have been able to inspire you in such a way that you will be a success in your future life and work. Sincerely, A. O. 1CALHOUIfI o-' ' l .5 '-4 I

V L . L44 Superintendent of To the Student Body: The term Red School Housev is not only descriptive Of the type of building used for educational purposes in the bygone days, but is also synonymous Of the type and method Of education administered to the youth. We have made progress, at least we think we have. Our building and equip- ment have been improved. We have raised the standards and requirements for teachers steadily the last few decades, and offer a wider scope Of subject matter in the present day public school curriculum. Claire Williams in an article in the 'fFOruml' says, NI do not think that there is, in general, any clearly defined under- standing in America as to the real end of education. I think that the end of edu- cation is to improve slowly, steadily, decade by decade, the quality of the populacef' It behooves us in Our attempt to go forward, to recall that it is very difficult to improve upon those fundamental principles which were so strongly emphasized during the Red School Housen days. If in connection with our modern improve- ments we can build the importance and practice Of honesty, reverence, integrity, loyalty, patriotism, thrift, spirituality, respect for Others, and general culture as thoroughly as Our forefathers we shall make a real contribution to the society in which we live.
