A DECADE HAS PASSED Foreword since the publication of the first HAWKS' NEST. To mark this important milestone, we have planned to share with you the treas- ured volumes of the past ten years. In doing so. we shall picture each book, and then we shall trace in brief the growth and progress of our school as reflected in the pages of these books. In the 1947 class of the Iowa Park High School were two energetic and ambitious seniors who did not rest until they had se - cured the permission of Superintendent W. R. Bradford to publish a yearbook for the school. These two senior girls were Jackye Newton and Swanelle Clements who became editor and business manager, respectively, of the infant HAWKS’ NEST, a name suggested by the fact that our athletic teams were already known as the Hawks . To guide and ad- vise these staff members. Mr. Bradford appointed as sponsor Mrs. O. R. Owens, a newcomer on the faculty that year. With these devoted workers, the new project could not fail! Their hope expressed in the 1947 edition that the HAWKS' NEST might be- come a fixture in Iowa Park High School as permanent as the Fair and the Craterville trip has been fully realized. Printed locally, the 1947 annual had a dark green cover upon which was embossed a hawk ready to pounce upon its prey. The lettering on the cover was done in white. As a theme, the editor used slanguage and hep-cats . Congratulations to the 1947 staff for producing a noteworthy book. We are proud to be your successors! 957 Sib 2
