THE TIGER PARKIN HIGH SCHOOL PARKIN, ARKANSAS MeM ae This 1950-1951 school year has been a very busy and eventful year for all of us. We are seeing one one of our fondest dreams come true—the construction of a new high school building. This beautiful structure will be ready to occupy at the beginning of the next school year. As we move into our new home next year. I would like for you to remember that the educational opportunities offered to you in America are unmatched by any other nation in the world. These opportunities involvo a tremendous investment in buildings, equipment, teachers' salaries, etc. The taxpayers of your community have voted and oro paying the highest tax rate in Arkansas in ordor to provide these things for you. As students and citizens of this community, you have an obligation to protect and help preserve ♦his beautiful new building. Make it your job to help protect all school proporty. Prove to yctfr parents and other taxpayers that you appreciate what they are doing for you. In closing. I would like to urge you not to negiect your school work. Your educational opportunities come to you only once. Take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of your years in school. faculty NEWTON MORRIS AUDREY CROOK LABON HARDEN Principal English History L.
