FOREWORD IF THIS BOOK, IN ITS CONDENSED FORM, CAN BRING TO YOU MEMORIES OF ONE OF THE NEVER-TO-BE FORGOTTEN YEARS OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL LIFE; CAN BURN DEEP- ER INTO YOUR SOUL THAT THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY THAT HAS MADE THIS INSTI- TUTION WHAT IT IS TODAY; AND CAN PIC- TURE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY THE WORKINGS OF AN INSTITUTION THAT IS THE GREATEST FRIEND AND ALLY THEY HAVE FOR PROGRESS AND HAPPINESS; IT WILL JUSTIFY THE LABOR EXTENDED IN ITS PRODUCTION AND WE TRUST WILL BE AN INSEPARABLE FRIEND AND A TREASURE INVALUABLE.

To the Port Arthur High School Students: As the Seagull goes to press, I take this op- portunity to say a few words to our high school students. I want to express my appreciation of the faithful efforts of the Seagull staff in publish- ing an annual that we may all be proud of; and for 1the assistance of the student body in this wor . The success of the school depends not only upon a splendid faculty, but upon the unfailing support of an earnest student body. I want, therefore, to thank all of you for your loyalty and cooperation during the past year. There are many things I might say to you. but as this school year closes, I desire that you take with you the following message from one of our American poets: TRUE WORTH IS IN BEING, NOT SEEMING, IN DOING, EACH DAY THAT GOES BY, SOME LITTLE GOOD, NOT IN DREAMING OF GREAT THINGS TO DO BY AND BY. FOR WHATEVER MEN SAY IN THEIR BLINDNESS, AND SPITE OF THE FANCIES 0F YOUTH, THERE'S NOTHING SO KINGLY AS KINDNESS, AND NOTHING SO ROYAL AS TRUTH. E. S. Carter, Principal.
