McCatterty Encourages The third year was the charm for Mr. Carl McCafferty, Central's companion- able administrator. Mr. McCalIerty com- pleted his third year as principal, his thirty- first year of public school service. 1966 saw the initiation of two unique programs un- der Mr. McCafIerty's supervision which no other high school in Tulsa can claim-a section of special counseling and guidance and a vocational special education class. Mr. McCaflerty expressed the belief that the new programs would prove invaluable to the students concerned. In addition to promoting scholastic progress by encouraging these and similar programs, Mr. McCafferty worked to instill ideals in student life. In a citizenship as- sembly at the first. of the year, Mr. McCaff- erty received a standing ovation from the student body for his impelling spirit of pa- Vital ew Programs triotism and respect for our countryis goals. Continuing his interest in civic af- fairs Mr. McCafferty was a candidate for president of International Civitan, missing this honor by a narrow margin. He served on a new Civitan committee, the Citizen- ship Day and Constitution Week Commit- tee, a group of distinguished scholars who worked to promote these national observ- ances in school and community. In accordance with his firm belief that sports develop a person physically and mentally, Mr. McCafIerty took advantage of every moment free from civic and adminis- trative duties to hunt quail and pheasant with his trained pointer, Carl's Boy. Fish- ing, another of Mr. McCafIerty's favorite sports, occupied his summer as he and two other Tulsa principals went fishing in Can- adian lakes and streams. Pursuing his 'Favorite sport, Mr. Carl McCailerty and his doq flush e covey of quail from the underbruslw. Recalling pasi' awards and honors, Mr. Carl Mcflarierry and his wife Helen fill a quiet evening with memories. l 23
