PLAINVIEW PUBLIC SCHCICILS E. W. DAVIDSCIN, PRINCIPAL PLAINVIEW, TEXAS April 19, 1942 Dear Friends: As we part for a few months, years, or a longer time, I can only hope that our relationship has been as pleasant for you as it has been for me. For the Seniors I hope your school days in P. H. S. have been both pleasant and profitable. h For the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen my wish is that you may return to us for another term. We, the members of the faculty, pledge to you our best efforts to help you make the school better than ever. We canxnot make the school better or make you better than you want to be. To those who are going as well as to those who are staying, I leave this parting thought: Each of you has a body, a mind and a soul. You should be the master of your body, nurturing it carefully and preserv- ing it. Each person has a mindg exercise it, train it to think independ- ently, never invite a dictator to tell you what to think or believe. May your soul look up to God, the universal Father. Yours sincerely, R. W. DAVIDSON. TE ,Jai

F s Bl.. PLAINVIEW PUBLIC SCHOOLS D. J. LAAS, SLI PERINTENDENT PLAINVIEW, TEXAS April 22, 1942 To the Senior Class of Nineteen Forty-Two: You are closing an important chapter of your life with this school year. It is a valuable chapter-a chapteriizwhich are written rules and regulations and philosophies that will guide you in ndiggingn for the treasures of life. On the final pages of this chapter I would like for you to add the thought or resolution expressed by a well digger who had been employed to dig a certain well. The contract under which he assumed this job speci- fied that he would receive five dollars a foot provided he would find an ample supply of water. After digging many days through hard clay and stone for seventy feet-far deeper than any well in that neighborhood- he gave up. Another man took the job under the same conditions, went into the abandoned hole, dug only two feet deeper, found an ample supply of water and collected five dollars per foot for the entire depth. Upon hearing this, the first well digger exclaimed, WI will never give up digging again until I have dug two feet deeperln This exclamation contains the thought or resolution I referred to above. It is a valuable philosophy to guide you when you dig for the objectives you want to achieve. ' Yours very sincerely, 0. J. LAAS. XX
