We Dedicate Coach Kenneth C. Moore The senior class has chosen to pay tribute in its dedication of this annual to a former student on the 20th anniversary of his gradu- ation from Chilocco, as well as to an employee who has a great part in moulding the future of our young men. Mr. Kenneth Moore, instructor of physical education, is a member of the Creek Indian tribe, and attended Euchee Indian school be- fore enrolling at Chilocco. While a student here he participated in football, basketball, baseball and was a member of the National Guard, Aggie club, and president of the Stu- dent Council. After leaving Chilocco he attended Okla- homa A and M college, Stillwater, and re- ceived both his Bachelor and Master's degrees from that institution. Because of his high ideals for good sportsmanship, friendliness, his loyalty to Chilocco and the students, the Senior Class takes pleasure in making this dedication. .5-
