FR£fifDENnAL fNMlzmON Mr. Satterwhite examines the White House telegram as Nathan says simply, I can ' t believe it! June 3, 1964 was no ordinary day for one of the top seniors at Soutfi Houston. On this date, Nathan Isgur received a telegram from the White House saying that President Johnson had chosen him as a Presidential Scholar. The wire requested Nathan ' s pres- ence at the White House on June 10. Na- than was the only boy from the entire state to receive this honor. We, at South Houston, believe that President Johnson could not have made a more perfect choice. We are all proud of the recognition Nathan has won for himself and for South Houston. 33
