Jourdanton High School - Chief Yearbook (Jourdanton, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 94 of the 1953 volume:

We pause near the end of our high school days—And clasp the treasured hand which has guided us thus far—We lift our hearts and voices in a song of praise —To honor you, OUR PARENTS, for love, for faith, for principles--Imbued in us from birth, for all that builds us—gifts from you------------ OH, THAT WE PROVE OUR WORTH! � 4, ct tycKtit Dear Students: This is the first annual to be issued from the halls of our beautiful new school. I am sure that each of you is proud of this building and its surroundings. In this new school plant you have been provided with the best of facilities for furthering your education. Your parents and the citizens of the community have worked hard to r ealize this achievement for you. It is for you to decide whether to take advantage of or to turn your back upon the opportunity offered you. And I am sure that success will come only to those who go out to meet this challenge with a diligent heart and a will to learn. Finally, may I congratulate the Staff of THE CHIEF and their sponsors for the production of a well-rounded yearbook.
