edlu— TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY DALLAS. TEXAS MEANS KTTER YEARBOOKS 'DecUcttiuut Since the theme of THE WILDCAT is School Days, it seems appropriate that we dedicate this annual to our Parents who have worked and sacrificed for us throughout our school days, without complaint or limit, to help us prepare for a happy and successful life. As the wheel of time moves along so does the wheel of progress, so it seems that the necessities of life become greater all the time. Certainly the progress of our nation depends on the progress of our pupils and the scholars of today. Now, more than ever before, the high school graduates must be prepared to meet an uncertain future. Another war has appeared on the scene which has created a greater need for young men and women who are qualified to face the problems of an unstable world. It has been my objective, and that of the faculty, to teach the fundamental subjects that develop skills, under- standing and aptitudes which will enable you young men and young women to live an active and useful life and be a credit to your parents, your school, and your country. It has been a pleasure to have worked with the Senior Class of 1952. I hope each of you will fill the place you occupy in a way that you can truthfully say, I have done the best I could.” Your friend and Principal, o . be . — ' acuity R. E. ALEXANDER L. W.
