Residents Anticipate Future City Growth Tragedy struck the night of February 7, 1965, when a maior part of Jarman Junior High School ithe original building of 19441 was destroyed in a S500,000 fire. Midwest City's school system was among the first in the nation to receive government aid under defense legislation. Much of the legislation can be traced to the efforts of Superin- tendent Oscar V. Rose, who also inspired the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, affecting nearly every school system in the United States. October 28, 1967, was 'Appreciation Day' for Oscar V. Rose, celebrating Midwest City's twenty-fifth anniversary. Din- ner was held at Rose Field and included recognition of mem- bers of the original staff who are still teaching in the system. These include Mr. and Mrs. Oscar V. Rose, Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Sutton, and MCHS teachers, Mrs. Florence Jenkins, Mrs. Bertha Looper, and Mrs. Mildred Webb. Guests included Lieutenant Governor George Nigh, U.S. Representative Tom Steed, U.S. Senator Mike Monroney, State Senator H.B. Atkinson, Mr. W.P. Bill Atkinson, founder of Midwest City, and an address by the Honorable Carl Albert, maiority floor leader of the U.S. House of Representatives. This dinner climaxed the festivities of the Silver Anniversary celebration, reigned over by Joyce Mansell, MCHS senior who was crowned Miss Silver Anniversary on October 19. With the theme 'From Wheat Fields to America's Model City in 25 Years' a giant parade heralded the Saturday festivities. Mrs. Edna Haynes joins Mr. and Mrs. W.P.
