GODDARD, Assistant Principal l909-1919 Office of the Registrar STANFORD UNIVERSITY Stanford University California November 16, 1925. E Dear Yeatmanites 2 ' For years I have been looking forward to a celebration of Y eatman's twenty-fifth an- niversary. I have pictured myself sitting on the Auditorium stage with other members of the pioneer faculty, looking venerable but not feeling so, recognizing the sons and daughters of my old friends and students through family resemblances, and beaming on every one out of the sheer happiness of being once more at Yeatman. Sixteen Now comes the news that no such cele- bration will ever be held. The news brings a real pang of regret to all of us who as students or teachers have shared in the happy life that was the glory of Y eatman. I have been fortunate in meeting Yeatman- ites in many places-Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California, and on the trains between -and the impression that remains after each meeting is that Yeatman is a vital tie that binds. Y eatman as a Senior High School may cease to exist, but we of the Yeatman family, wherever we go and whatever we do, will continue in our old loyalty to Yeatman ideals and will treasure happy Yeatman memories. Faithfully yours, CHAS, B. Gonuxim.

'1 message to the Yeatman family of 1925 sets 111 rnotion a train of happy memories. The writer was a fortunate member of the small group who, in that far-away time of 1904, called themselves charter members. VVe regarded it as a rare privilege to be a Yeatmanite in those early years, and I be- lieve that the feeling came to be traditional. Something seemed to take hold of us, the intangible, invisible, but very real spirit of james E. Yeatman, whose influence was potent in the moulding of the new school. The privilege of working in such an atmos- phere gave us a new conception of our duties and our opportunities. Dear Yeatmanites: p gi: Q . Y. xjxi Q I It was the writer's privilege to know intimately and to work closely, shoulder to shoulder, with each Principal which the rapid changes brought to the school in the progress of its growth and expansion. It is a constant source of pride and satisfaction to me as a Yeatmanite to enroll among my list of warm personal friends the names of John VV. lVitl1ers, George Platt Knox, VVilliam M. Butler, and VVilbur N. Fuller. The honor of being chosen Principal of Y eatman in 1907-an honor too briefly enjoyed--gave me the right to confer upon myself the title of perpetual Yeatrnanitef' a title which the transferto another school could not take away. In the years that have intervened since 1909, early memories have not been effaced, nor the loyalties and in- spirations which still are mine. Fifteen

Mr. Butler spoke frequently of the com- radeship and loyalty of all its teachers who during the years had met each incoming group of students with unswerving devo- tion and had held them to high standards of scholarship. But even more often and if possible more affectionately did he speak of that great group of large sons and daughters who left the Yeatman each year to take part in the xvorldis affairs. During the war Mr. Butler was much touched by the devotion of all the pupils to their Junior Red Cross work, and with deep pathos and pride he spoke of the Yeatman men who there. In peace times Mr of the achievements and spoke of their standards. Nothing lost their lives over Butler was ever proud of his boys and girls, fine loyalty and high gave him more pleas- ure than to have one of these old boys or girls return for a visit to their Alma Mater. ' XVere he here now, he would urge each boy and girl who has been privileged to cross the threshold of the Yeatman High School to remember the fine traditions of the school, traditions created by generations of pupils, and to keep this spirit burning brightly long after the school itself has ceased to function.
