March 20, 1940 TO THE SENIOR CLASS, PARADISE HIGH SCHOOL, Paradiso., Texas. GREETINGS: It is a pleasure for me to have the privilege and opportunity of sending greetings to the Seniors of the Paradise High ScJ ool. It appears to me that boys and girls of your age, now finishing your high school work, can look upon conditions existing thro-- ought our country and throughout the world and see much to be done in the way of administering to the needs of humanity. Viewing the situation as I do from the Gover- nor's office, I can see that the future of our ci- vilization depends upon the boys and girls of to- day. and I want to encourage them in applying com- mon sense principles to their future activities, over bearing In nlnd the necessity of a well-ba- lanced education and the correct principles of re- ligion and morality. Sincere allegiance to these fundamental principles and a determination to per- form a service for humanity in this world will bring happiness an 1 I wish you all success. Sincere yours. VfLO'D

suits. The Senior Class of 1S39 presented a very enjoyable program. This was the high light of our junior year. Our senior year has been our be3t year in school. We have had more privileges, which we have used greatly. One of our greatest trips, besides our Carlsbad Trip, has been our trip to the Dallas Fair. We got Senior Day set aside at the fair and we used the great privilege that was given to us. We were the first seniors of Paradise High School to over got to make a trip to Carlsbad Cavern. This was a very educational trip to all of us. For the first time at our school, the senior class, with the assistance of Mr. McClintock, has undertaken the great responsibility of publishing a year-book. This is a very expensive project, but by obtaining advertiserannts from different business firms, we have accomplished our great task. On March 22 and 29 the curtain rose upon the enthusiastic players of our two senior plays Girl-Shy and Hen-peeked Husband . The plays were enjoyed by largo crowds in our auditorium. As we go to press, our most outstanding social event has just taken place--the Juuior- Senior Banquet. With the assistance of the Home- rrhking department, a very enjoyable evening was spent by the juniors and seniors. The Seniors presented the program for the evening. We appreciate the efforts of all of our teachers during our four years in high school. We know that had it not been for their kind assistance during these years, we would not have accomplished what wo have. Y.'e knew that if any of us comes to any great success, it will be credited to the training received at Paradise High School during our high school years.
