Quote from Mr.Gordon M.Cotton, Principal, 1961 Yearbook

"Place your aims high, remembering that you can never reach beyond the point of your highest aim, but that success is the birthright of every human soul.  May each of you resolve, whatever your individual aim may be, to keep your eyes ever persistently "fixed upon the mark of your high calling" and live and labor that, when you have at last come to the end of the long journey, you may look back without regret over a well-spent life and say "The end crowns the work."

We are sad to report that Mr. Gordon Cotton, Waltrip's first Principal, passed away on September 30, 2012 in Trinity, Texas.
