Drumright High School - Gusher Yearbook (Drumright, OK)

The Gusher is an accurate printed account of the activities at our high school After graduation we no longer think of it as a project sponsored by the rnem- bers of the graduating class but as the seniors' con- tribution to the annals of Drumright High School. The members of the staff, through their work as such, have gained a much broader conception of the high school as an institution of learning and appreciate more fully the value of the training offered both from the practical and cultural points of view, lt is also hoped that through their efforts as members of the staff, they have learned the value of work Only through individual and group effort, wise and careful planning can such a task be brought to a successful conclusion, The present National emergency is re-emphasizing the value of the fundamental or tool subjects. Although our so-called extra-curricular activities seem more in- teresting and attractive, we cannot escape the intensive study and the tedious drill and practice connected with the mastery at English, science, mathematics, and other similar courses, if we would be of service to our fellow- men and our country. So let us dedicate ourselves to a program of rigorous mental, physical, and spiritual train- ing, so that when the time comes we shall be able to deliver effective blows at the enemies of freedom and lustlce.

.0- Again it is my privilege to congratulate the Senior Class, the Gusher Staff and Sponsors upon the courage, initiative, and co-operation they have shown in the production of this Year Book which will provide such on escellent record of the activities and accomplishments of Drumright High School during this school year, l ex- tend my sincere best wishes to all of you. Yhis world struggle against the forces of evil has caused all of us to change our thinking and plans for the future, but our plans would not be of any value unless the issue is settled in favor of Freedom and Democracy. Our high school is going through changes, as we individuals are, and the effort will be to make students strong for the offensive action we must take against those who would enslave the world. Amezica must be the Nation to determine the peace but to do that she must determine the outcome of the war and it will be those who are now in highschool or have recently been graduated who will make the greatest contribu- tion to this peace. What can we do? We can determine our abilities and develop them to the highest so we can be of real value to our country and others who are counting on us to help them. All branches of the armed service, as well as lndustry, are asking, almost demanding, that boys have a strong foundation in mathematics and science. Girls are being called into production and into many fields of service that demand good training. Each can be ready for that call that is sure to come. Let us no longer think of defense but of offense and determine that the best we can do is the least we can do. America and Freedom will win with the determination of students and graduates of Drumright High School and all other high schools dedicated to the ideal of the Freedom of the World. FRANK D. HESS

With this os our stoted objective the student council hos worked, this yeor, toward a closer re- lotionship between facul- ty ond student body ond between the high school personnel ond the Board of Education. This, we feel, is needed to accom- plish the most good for ourselves, our school, our community, our stote, ond our notion.
