A RING, A SENIOR . . Only one short yeor ago, when we received our class ring, we realized for the first time that our high school days were rapidly coming to a close. Now it's time to turn the Tigers'heads out to face the world, but before we do this, let's look further into the meaning of our ring. The genuine black onyx stone in the 10 carat gold setting represents the school colors of orange and black. In the gold square above is the Tiger—the symbol of the athletic club of C.H.S. The small links which form a chain around the square represent the passing classes. On one side of the ring, along with the number, is an oil derrick which symbolizes the oil territory in which our school is situated; on the opposite side, along with the class year, is a covered wagon indicating the fact that Cushing is located in the Sooner state. Nineteen sixty marks the thirty-fourth anniversary of Cush- ing High School students wearing this design. We feel honored to be able to wear this ring which not only represents 34 years of tradition but olso sug- gests a sense of loyalty to C.H.S. With pride, yet with a touch of sadness, we, the Seniors of 1960, turn our rings to face the future in hope that we will find success and happiness as we each go our separate way.
