HAYS NAMED PRINCIPAL Dear Students: Never before has it been more necessary for young people to become well educated and be prepared to assume major responsibilities at an age unheard of twenty years ago. Today young people are becoming state representatives and senators, before the age of thirty. They are becoming presidents of corporations at the terribly old age of forty; and, perhaps by the time many of you graduate from college, you will encounter professors having doctoral degrees who are much younger than your high school teachers were. As you can see, the opportunities are numerous, but so are your responsibilities to be pre- pared to take advantage of these opportunities. The members of the Brush High School Faculty sincerely hope that we have provided each student with not only academic opportunity; but also the opportunity to become re- sponsible individuals. Mr. Robert Hays took over the prin- cipalship of Brush High School, after the resignation of Mr. Thomas Lally. Mr. Hays was a teacher, coach, and counselor at B. H. S. for three years previous to his acceptance of the administrative office. Raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr. Hays received his high school diploma from the Southeast High School in Okla- homa City. He went on to Oklahoma University, obtaining his Bachelor of Sci- ence degree and Master of Arts in Admin- istration. His interests consist of football, swimming and horses. The J-Staff of 1967-1968 welcomes Mr. Hays to his new position as principal of Brush High School. 7
