Mr. W. A. Sloan... This year, 1956-'57, marks the fourth year of Travis' existence. As we have progressed these past years, we have recognized the progressive leadership of our principal. Our senior year is now coming to a close and we are finding time more precious and the value of our education is realized. This has been possible only through your guiding hand that has been firm but friendly. Sincerely, Class of ’57

WILLIAM B. TRAVIS HIGH SCHOOL 1211 CAST OLTORF STAC IT Office of the Principal AUSTIN 1. TEXAS May 6, 1957 Dear Seniors: Four years isn't such a long time is it? You didn't act too much like you believed me when I told you as ninth graders that you would be seniors someday. William B. Travis is the school that it is because of you and those who have gone ahead of you. The world will someday be the kind of a world that it is because of you. Will you be able to say that you always did your best? Most of you should be planning further schooling. High school is no longer enough. It is increasingly important that you get more general education along with your specialized or technical training. You have had the opportunity to attend the best schools that have ever been known. The world needs highly skilled people to use all of the won- derful technological developments which we have. These developments are made possible by the scientists, engineers and technicians who are the products of our schools. May I urge that you remain strong in your belief that you live in the greatest country in the world and may you have an abiding faith in God and your fellow man. Sincerely W. A. Sloan
