Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1955 volume:

Published by the SENIOR CLASS OF 1955 ARNETT HIGH SCHOOL Arnett, Oklahoma FOREWORD We, the staff of Arnett, have tried to make an annual which would present our school as you would like to remember it. In years to come may you turn through these pages and recall the happy months at old A.H.S. THE STAFF MERRITT HUNTER......................................Photographer EARLA JEAN DICKSON..........................Advertising Manager SHERILYN SUTHERS..........................................Editor REX CORAM Assistant Editor I SUPERINTENDENT’S This Annual contains many memories of your first journey down the road of life. You have reached the first major crossroad and may your choice of roads be one that will bring you happiness and success in the years to come. It has been a real personal pleasure for me to have known you as students in this school. I shall always treasure these memories. Yours truly, D. D. Creech In your dreams of tomorrow, and In your mem- ories of yesterday, don't lose today. It is not what you have lived, nor what you will live that should be your greatest concern, but how you are living. Live! To live is that preparation for life. Be alert. Be aggressive. Be energetic. Be considerate of fellow man. Be ever mindful that the foundation of your tomorrow is now. Live Today!
