February 8, 1954 To the Students and Faculty: The principal's message at this time is one of humbleness and gratitude toa group who exhibited sincerity and genuine interest in my welfare at a time when it was most needed. It is indeed gratifying to know that our everyday work can be done in such a spirit of friendliness. When corrections and adverse decisions have to be made, it is sincerely hoped that you will realize that the benefit of the whole group is what we are trying to achieve, for we are all interested in the same goal, namely: to make Donna High School one of the best.
