DEDICATED TO DEAR OLD CHICKASHA HIGH SCHOOL... . . . around which center many of the happiest days of our lives. Through its doors, enter generation after generation to find within an inexhaustdtble supply of opportunity. Many will supply themselves thereof and leave, prepared to pick up the responsibilities of manhood and womanhood and become an asset to their coun- try. Many others have left and will continue to leave empty-handed to become a liability. lit is for each to decide on entering whither he Shall go on leaving. f The High School, nothing but senseless brick and mortar, remains deaf to- our shouts i; jeyebiihd to our tears of disappointment, offering its wealth of opportunity to those Zr J; wtse enough to partake thereof. As we enter its doors for the first time, we are to CI great extent, master of What we hail write on the next three pages of our lives. As we leave, three pages later, what we Tie written is to a great extent, master Of us. win

STREETER Sponsor and Business Manager tion of ANNUALS for our High Schoo1. The Staff was e1ectedl being composed of one Staff member from each C1ub and C1ass. Suggestions for a name were submitted by a11 who cared to do so and from these se1ections was chosen the name HCHICK CHAT. Having no experience and not wishing to over- estimate our ability, the 1946 Annua1 was strictly a photographic process, even the printed matter being photographed. A nice book was produced for its kind. The 1947 book, profiting from our experience, has a better type of cover, more satisfactori1y bound and the printed matter type-set. The 1948 book was the first of the padded back covers and reached the best we can expect from the $2.50 price we Charge. JOYCE KENDRICK Editor-in-Chief The 1949 book as you can see is the same type. The book now produced annually for $250 is about a $5.00 or $7.50 book in other schoo1s. Mr. Streeter says the staff this year has been unusua11y unse1tish, untiring and 1aithtu1 in the preparation of the book and the en- tire Stait wishes to express its appreciation of the cooperation which has been generaHY given us.
