Zrjr ?£Z£zZ- P Dear Students: As we near the end of this school year, we can truly say this has been a year of change at Fair Park. Mr. Herron’s untimely death in April I960 and Mr. Turner’s leaving to direct a new school have brought about a change in the administration. Because of the opening of a new school, a change in membership came about; our school population dropped from 2000 students to 1650 students; this, of course, was a welcome change to relieve crowded conditions in our physical plant. It has been gratifying to me as a new principal to experience the manner in which change has been accepted and the complete cooperation given to the administration by both student body and faculty. Without your seriousness of purpose and acceptance of responsibility, this would have been a difficult year indeed. It is this seriousness of purpose and acceptance of responsibility that make Fair Park the institution that it is. I feel that you are ever changing to set higher standards and better goals for your school. You are learning to face the tasks that lie ahead of you, and as principal I can sense that you are working hard to lay a solid foundation for a better community and a better world. This job of being your principal is one I accept in humbleness and I feel it a great privilege to serve Fair Park. The responsibility is a heavy one, but the reward of satisfaction gained in working with you is great. To each senior, I give my sincere best wishes that you shall achieve the goals you have set for yourself. To each underclassman, my wishes are that you have a good and successful career at Fair Park. Sincerely yours, Earl A. McKenzie
