H Sherman Institute, the mother school, en- deavors to serve, train and help its students de- velop into leaders and worthwhile membefs .of their communities, Indian and otherwise, Sher- man can but present the opportunity. No school can pour education into its students. It is up to each student to learn by trying and doing, all under wise faculty guidance and counsel. The one regret expressed by former students and graduates is I failed to make full use of my opportunities while at Sherman. V Our annual this year mentions the work of a few of Sherman's successful graduates. More will be included next year. It is quite evident that they made good use of their opportunities. May all of you likewise be as studious, in- dustrious, worthy and successful. Sincerely, DONALD H. BIERY Superintendent p1oih:o-1D4r-1Dcrin-iol4n1ol010i4r1ol1n10i1ri0ll
