TO STUDENTS OF DU PONT HIGH SCHOOL You may well feel proud that the Kanawha County Board of Education thought it advisable to erect this splendid structure which we now call our school. You must at all times be fully cognizant of the many things besides a building which are required to make a good high school. May l say to the graduating class that we shall expect great accomplish-' ments from you. We want to be proud of the fact that you were one of us. May you strive diligently that those who sacrificed for your opportunities will not have done so in vaing that you will become true and upright men and women in your communities. A To next year's students l should like to give this challenge. Promise yourself that you will do everything possible to make Du Pont High School a better school because of your attendance. ROBERT A. CHILDERS, Principal Du Pont High School.
