Work First, Principal s Motto MR. HOMER M. JESSEE, Principal MISS CHARLOTTE CORSBIE, Office Clerk — -urtflth — ; m : = We may carve from marble a beautiful figure; in time it will perish; we may work in brass; time will efface that; we may rear beautiful temples; in time they will crumble into dust. But if we work on our immortal minds — if we imbue them with lofty prin- ciples, we engrave tablets which no time can dim but which brighten to all eternity. An ennobling character lives throughout all time. Homer M. Jessee.
