The staff of the 1939 CHIEF- TAIN dedicates this twenty- fourth annual edition to Coach Robert J. Bob Cortright, who leaves us this year after 11 suc- cessful years as athletic director. Coach Cortright has coached the Rougher football squad to championships in the Oklahoma state conference three times, the Central conference twice, and the Oklahoma Six conference four times during his stay here in Cen- tral. He also has served as track coach. He issued the following statement concerning track: l consider George Johnson, a for- mer Muskogee track star of 1931, the outstanding all-round track and field man ever developed in Oklahoma high school circles. With the new stadium and its cin- der track, Muskogee will be able to overcome its handicap and will meet other teams on an equal basis. The Roughers' basketball squads have served under Bob and have been winners of the Central conference.

1 i Supwulnfencfenll l To the Student Body of Central High School: What have you learned thus far in school? To seniors particularly l should like to address this question. I realize that it is a difficult question to answer because you cannot very well separate the things you have learned in school from the things you have learned elsewhere. Also it is very difficult at any time to take inventory of the things we have actually learned. However, if you have learned to get along better with the people with whom you associate and have learned how to read, your teachers and administrators will be happy. By reading, I mean fair mastery of the reading study skills, which are: The ability to locate information, the ability to select that part which has c bearing upon your problem, the ability to evaluate what you read, the ability to organize it in a way that will make it more meaningful to you anc others, and finally, the ability to determine what to remember and how tc remember it. Armed with the ability to get along with people and with the reading study skills, coupled of course with wholesome attitudes toward life, its origin anc purposes, we predict for you success in all worthy undertakings. Such is oui wish for you. J. R. Holmes
