Show Courage: An Example For Every Student The parents of a former South high student did not realize that he was blind, until they sent him to school at the age of six. There they found that he was barely able to distinguish objects. So, his parents sent him to a school for the blind in California. Cali-fornia. There he got a foundation suitable for eli-mentary eli-mentary education. When he reached high school age, he enrolled in classes at South high school. It was made possible for him to study here by the help of the NYA. For most of his studies, he would have a reader. In the typing class, he would make up his stories in the time lessons, with correct punctuation, spelling, etc., and he wrote at the speed of fifty words a minute. He had an interest in music, and for a while was planning to become a piano tuner. Today, he is a third-year student at the University, and his chances of success are great. When at South, he would never miss the school dances. No handicap could hold a person back who had that much determination to succeed. |
