FOREWORD As little babes we started out in life, and later to school-eager, trusting, and willing to learn. Through the years we have proven ourselves worthy and capable of taking our places in our various com- munities, our states, and our nation, as substantial, American citizens. The memorable days spent here at Chilocco will endure, and will ever bean inspiration to us as we go forth into our different fields of work. The experiences shared with our friends, our classmates and teachers, here on the campus, will -3- always remain treasured memories of our high school days. These memories will tend to make our lives richer, more whole- some, and more satisfying. But as we go forth from Chilocco with hearts and spirits lifted toward the future, may Chilocco never cease supplying its constant, advantage-giving opportunities for growth to young people such as we. And may it continue to leave a spot of tenderness in the hearts of all its gradu- ates for their beloved Alma Mater.

GREETINGS FROM THE AREA DIRECTOR OF SCHOOLS- -sf p ,guara- Mr. HENRY A. WALL Chilocco provides education, not merely in terms of books, credits, and diplomas, but education in terms of preparation for living and earning. It is generally agreed that such preparation is more important for the future of our nation now than ever before. We are living in an amazing world in which technology has altered the pattern of livingg and to live in this kind of world calls for not only knowing the three R's, but also a great many things which yesterday's youth did not know, could not know, had no need to know. It has been your good fortune to attend Chilocco, which offers excellent voca- tional training and effective experiences in citizenship. This school operates on the theory that good citizenship and pro- ficiency in a vocational skill are learned through action. Actual participation in -5. school activities and school government have given you a good foundation for be- coming constructive citizens in any com- munity where you may live. If you have developed a saleable vocational skill, this will help you to make a living. You are standing on the threshold of a new and exciting phase of your life. Some of you will continue your educationg others will go directly into jobs. Most of you will leave Chilocco. It is my hope that you will put into practice the training you have received, so that soon you will take your places in the communities of your choice as self- sufficient, contributing citizens. HENRY A. WALL, Area Director of Schools
