Many things are occasioned through the years. However, there is nothing which gives me more pleasure than to note the progressive expansion of educational facilities in Duval County. This advancement is indicative of the perserverance and untiring effort of the citizenry of our community. We are cognizant that the young people of today are the leaders of tomorrow and we owe these youth--the runners who will outplace us--the best means for securing wisdom. The destiny of our country depends upon an educated citizenry. We wish to congratulate our superintendent, members of the Board of Public Instruction. the patrons of this community and all other persons responsible for the vision in making Rufus E. Payne a reality.
