Today its alumni and former students are found in every type of useful occupation in our magic city and empire. For twenty-five years patrons and taxpayers have provided adequate buildings, equipment, and mainten- ance budgets. This continued support is certain evidence of the concern of Tulsans for the education of their youth. For twenty-five years altruistically- minded Board of Education members have administrated our high school. Their greatest reward has been in serving well their own day and gen- eration by giving youth extensive op- portunities to take a worthy place in the community scheme. For twenty-five years superintend- ents, principals, and teachers have di- rected instruction in conformity with the demands of adult life situations. Teaching efforts and the investment of personal influences have guided youth in discovering and acquiring life's abiding values. For twenty-five years loving par-- ents have yearned for the abundant success and moral well-being of their boys and girls and have often made extreme sacrifices to give them the privileges of a high school education.

S11fu'rir1!1'm1w11! of Ifiiy Srlmnls Looking fo the Fuiure T the close of this school year Central L ,High sends forth its twenty-fifth class of boys and girls, prepared for college and for service of the conimunity and the world in in- dustrial, social and eivie life. This school serves a progressive and rapidly ,growing coni- munity and has grown with the coniniunity it serves. ln the twenty-five years the size of graduating classes has increased 175 fold, from four to seven hundred. The total number of graduates is more than 41300. ln these years the school has won an enviable reputation for its organization, its spirit, and the range and character of its work. The past of school and city is safeg we are interested in the future. This future will be determined more and more by the graduates of Central High, and of other high schools that must help carry the burden when the city has grown beyond the capacity of this school, as it is now about to do. All Tulsa High graduates are still young. ln the next twenty-five years a host of the youth of Tulsa will join your ranks. The school has been good to you as it will be good to them, mak- ing possible niuch of the highest and best in life otherwise inipossibleg and it must never be forgotten that it is the city that in its generosity, pronipted by high ideals and purposes and guided by good business sense, has made the school possible, supporting it liberally, as its most effective means of service to itself and to the world. You and those coming after you niust and will carry on, setting for school and city ever higher and nobler goals, working ever more intelligently and earnestly for their iniproveinent. The city of a half niillion people at the end of another quarter century and the lllillfy thousands of boys and girls who will be in the high schools look to you and your comrades to help make theni what they should be. VVe have faith to believe you will not fail. 1 o
