DEDICATIO To Mr. Earl Sowers, president of our school board since 1929, we, the senior class of 1951, respectfully dedicate this Gusher. Few, if any, citizens of this state can boast a f1ner record of service to the schools of Oklahoma. Mr. Sowers not only served the Drum- right Schools faithfully for twenty-two consecutive years, but he also served two years as president of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association which he helped to organize in 1945. M. Sowers will be greatly missed by the board and school officials who have had the benefit of his leadership his great understanding of human nature and human needs his sympathy co operation, dependability and unselfishness BOARD MEMBER o g A C W me supe tendent of schools A J W ons membe N Bla e me ber S A Denye c V Ho o o y nt a es pesdet Mu L cle Ando on clek
