 ''Dr. Jordan, teachers and students: Many years ago we worked hard to build this magnificent school When the plan was first adopted some thought it useless to even attempt this great accomplishment, but with the aid of the earnest and patient school beard, success soon came to us. Young ladies and gentlemen, I have been away from you two years, but not enc time have forgotten you. On the cornerstone of the Pine Bluff High school, and Sam Taylor school. is my name.
