Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1954 volume:

I The annual staff wishes to thank Mr. Price for his fine photographic work, and Mr. Woods and Miss Pierce for their fine supervision in making this annual possible. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the 54 Wildcat. Editor in Chief.................................... YVONNA WOODS Sales Manager.....................................EVELYN WAYLAND Photographer.........................................GAYLE KNOWLES Advertising Manager.......................................... BILLY NICKELS ‘DecUcatant We, the members of the senior class of the Arnett High School, wish to dedicate this 1954 edition of The Wildcat to the senior class’ parents in appre- ciation of the loyalty, thoughtfulness, and consider- ation shown to us and the inspiration they have been to us through our elementary and high school days. SctficnititCHd tt'4 Dear Students: As we turn the pages of this the 1953-54 edition of the Wild- cat, may I ask you to think of and appreciate the freedoms which work together to make these memories possible. There are no other peoples or nations in the world who have so much to appreciate as we have. Our democracy guarantees us the right to attend public schools without charge, own. and operate our own business, and to have freedom of speech and press, freedom to worship as we please and all the other free- doms with which we are so familiar. Our freedoms to do as we please have made it possible for the senior class to publish this annual. May it always remind us of our heritage and encourage us to support with all ourstrength this great nation of ours, the United States of America. Sincerely yours. D. D. Creech 'PitKCifiai' TfccMaqe It seems a healthy bit of progress when each new yearbook series portrays improvement over that of the preceding year. You seniors of '54 are to be commended for the way you have coninued this policy. Surely there is no memento or keepsake, that canbe purchas- ed by any student for the price of the yearbook which will so enable him to live again - in memory - his happy experiences and friendly associations in school. May the enthusiasm and faith that you have expressed here remain with you through the years to come. Sincerely, A. H.
