PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The main purpose of the Sea Gull is that of recording the year ' s activities of the entire high school. This history will not be as much appreciated by you now as it will be ten, twenty, or thirty years hence. Since the memories of school will be recalled more by pictures than by stories, the year¬ book is largely a picture book. The facts in relation to the respective happenings of the year are briefly and interestingly presented. The aim throughout is to record by pictures, re¬ views, and messages a true estimate of the year’s work and play. For you, the students who are making this history, I wish many things. I wish for you a happy, carefree youth, guided withal by wisdom and honor. I covet for you a zest for learning which manifests itself in consistent study to the point of mastery. I would have you study your abilities and interests, learn of occupations and professions, in an endeavor to determine your life’s work. I desire for each of you the motive of the life-career, which gives purpose and meaning to your study and activities. I am confident that each year will find our school hap¬ pier in work, that my desires for you will be more fully reali¬ zed. It follows that we may expect each year’s Sea Gull to have a more vital story to tell than the previous issues. The Sea Gull should be improved yearly in quality, not in size 01 costliness. Cordially your friend. - 4 a Qtyuju. Principal High School x . F.n.c.
