Cn The Trail Of Peace oreward There are many who say, To work for peace is folly, an impossible dream .... but all progress has started as a dream-a dream with a practical idea as its basis...To our scoffers we answer, Look about you. Look at our own five civilized tribes, the so-called war-like lndians, who have lived together in peace these many years .... Why have they been able to achieve this which has elud- ed others? Because somehow each tribe has devel- oped one quality necessary for peace, and has shared it with the others .... But the most encour- aging news is this: here within our school we have these some qualities of friendliness, culture, gov- ernment, faith, skill, and service which our lndians have developed to create a life of peace for them- selves .... Let no one call this an impossible dream. Already we see the first shoots pushing their way to the surface. Our plant must be nurtured with care, but it can develop if we want it-And peace can be ours-if we truly want itl Table Of Contents l. Chickasaws lFriendlinessl -- .... Page 6 ll.

BATES DR. E, RALPH Membe' Memberl' COACHMAN H. H. HOGAN Member 70 'I MEMBERS OF CLASS OF l949: All of you are to be congratulated upon the task you have performed so well in preparing yourselves for graduation from high school. The information that you graduates have received and the skills that you have developed will count for more in this generation than any previous one if these skills and knowledges are put to their greatest use. The atti- tudes that you have developed thus far toward your nation and its people may be far more important than any other tools that you have acquired through education up to this time. Attitudes are the things that make you what you are. Therefore, the devel- opment of the proper attitudes toward your fellow- men should be further nurtured with a deep sincer- ity of purpose. Employers today are not asking as much about what young men and women can do as they are about what kind of young men and young women they are. The present times present critical problems for almost everyone and each senior of this graduating class will be called upon to help solve these prob- lems in the immediate years ahead. A rise in the educational level of the American citizen will make for the security of our country. You have helped to raise this level and you will be counted in the group that is better educated, a fact of which I am sure you should be very proud. I wish you Godspeed in all your future under- takings. Jang 2. Simmcufm Superintendent TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS: Please accept my sincere congratulations on your graduation from Central High School. The honor which you now bring to your school will con- tinue in ever increasing importance in proportion to your own future growth of character, your heal- thy, wholesome enjoyment of life, your growth in knowledge and wisdom, and your service to your fellows. It is my wish that you may, Know the Truth, which is the motto of our school, and that you may find your way to greater happiness in that know- ledge. May your influence in the world be always for good to the end, that ours may be a better world. May we fully realize and act upon the reali- zation that education is the final safeguard of de- mocracy and civilization. I want you to know that l consider it a great privilege to serve a group who so cheerfully and effectively have used their opportunities to self- improvement. May you always continue to grow-physically, mentally, morally, and spiritually in the eyes of God and your fellowman. A 1 wwe Principal Mr. G. C.

Now as the class reaches the last milestone in its journey through high chool, many members feel that the sentiments expressed in the school song have a special meaning for them: ....
