WILLIAM B. TRAVIS HIGH SCHOOL 1211 EAST OLTORF STREET Office of the Principal AUSTIN 1. TEXAS March 9, 1956 Dear Seniors: As you read this letter for the first time, you will be much more keenly aware of the fact that you are seniors and that you are soon to graduate, than you are today, as I write it. It is becoming tradition that seniors in Wm. B. Travis High School make their greatest contributions to the school and to the activities of the school during their last semester. This exhibits a characteristic that is admired by everyone. It is well to be known as a strong finisher. Graduating from high school is one of the first steps setting you apart from those you will find about you later on. Less than half of the young people of your age are gradua- ting from high school. We urge you to take advantage of this favored position so far as education is concerned. This should not be the end of your school career. You have demonstrated that you have the ability to learn and you are urged to take advantage of it through other advanced or technical training. Your attendance in Travis as charter members in the school has been thoroughly en- joyable to the faculty and to your fellow students. Your contribution to the school spirit and traditions has been noteworthy. As you graduate we believe that you will continue to reflect credit to yourselves, your families, and to your school. Sincerely yours, W. A. Sloan WASjwm 14
