GREETINGS from Jimmy Baker From: jimmy Baker Chilocco Indian School Chilocco, Oklahoma Chilocco Indian School is a name synonymous with success among Indian people throughout the country. The name is a tradition and near legend throughout Indian country. The name is a status among many older Indian people, people who represent the near 7000 who have graduated from Chilocco in its 94 year history. In 1978 the graduating class will add to the tradition of Chilocco graduating Indians who will readily take their place in society. The big question is, Will we add to the con- tinuing success that Chilocco graduates aspire to? Are we adding to those who aspire to uphold the richness, pride, and success of the Chilocco tradition? Realizing that much of the success of graduates of Chilocco is attributed to the joint efforts of the school, stu- dents and parents, these same principles must be applied to future success. In this respect Chilocco has altered programs to meet prevailing needs of its student clientele. In 1978 this need is prevalent. Thus, in its aspiration to meet prevailing needs, Chilocco will take on the endeavors of providing a concentrated vocational technical program to Indian youngsters who aspire to such training as a permanent means of a livelihood or as a stepping stone to higher goals. The comprehensive vocational program will be backed up by supportive programs designed to enhance the vocational success of each graduate. Graduates of Chilocco represent all walks of life in our country. Their success can be partially attributed to the discipline of vocational education. Many do not follow it to- day but will relate their story to the fact it was a stepping stone. Secondly, when we evaluate the travesty and pain of Chilocco, the beginning coincides with the beginning of de-emphasis of vocations at Chilocco. Ten years is long enough for a school like Chilocco to flounder and attempy programs all other schools throughout the country are providing. Chilocco always provided a uni- que program for unique needs. Now, in 1978 we have determined that this unique need is still prevalent and will strive to meet it as we re-emphasize a concentrated vocational and basic education program to add to the rich tradition and pride of Chilocco grad- uates so that the oldest of Chilocco graduates can identify with the youngest graduate as a proud legend. 8 jimmy Baker Superintendent, Class of 1960
