MR. SPRAGUE Superintendent The Semi-Centennial or fifty golden years for Oklahoma have brought many lovely years and happiness to the graduates of Claremore High School. For you, the Class of 1958, the former classes have blazed a trail and have shown the way for your suc- cess. May the years ahead bring increasing progress, satisfaction, and happiness to you and all who have had a part in making your school life a success. MRS. HART LINE Secretary SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS Left to right: Mr. Gilkerson, Mr. Sprague, Mrs. Hartline, Mrs. Gor- don, Mr. Redfern, Mr. Walker, Mr. Lingenfelter. MR. McKEEVER Principal When you receive this yearbook, not only will it be a record of your activities and friends of another school year, but to you seniors it will be the climax of four years of high school. This 1958 Zebra will always serve as a record of whatyouand your friends have done. It will bring back many fond memories of your associations in Claremore High School. 1 wish to congratulate the sponsor and the yearbook staff for the compiling of this ex- cellent record in such a nice way. Probably no one will fully appreciate the many hours that you have spent in making this volume possible. I think this is an excellent place for me to give my formal farewell to you seniors. I shall always cherish the memories of the many friendships that have been developed in this class; I wish you every success pos- sible. To you underclassmen, 1 hope that you continue to develop into happy, active, and useful citizens. OFFICE ASSISTANTS Front row: Judy Smith, Glenda Huneke.
