Duncan High School - Smoke Rings Yearbook (Duncan, OK)

Page 7 text:

In choosing a theme for the 1949 Smokerings, we have merely rescanned the pages of our history books. This year marks the rooth anniversary of the notorious gold mining days of the 49er era. Since that time, four wars have entangled this country in a series of events that today are but a mere record in encyclopedias and reference volumes. Perhaps people have forgotten, which is not unusual with such a lapse of time, or else failed to realize the importance of such happenings. But looking again, we see that that era of history is not dead pastg but rather it can be likened to another search today with a prize more valuable and inspiring. That quest is for the attainment of values which make for good citizenship and a wholesome, happy life. With the more serious aspect in the search for knowledge is interspersed the everyday pleasure found in sports, classes, clubs, and social activities, which this yearbook has tried to portray.

' 5 The students of the yearbook staff looked about for only a moment before deciding upon the person worthy of the 49er's Smokering Dedication. The first name which was called to their attention motiva- ted a reflection on the years the young man had spent here-a man whose sense of humor, love of teaching, fair-play on the gridiron, fineness, and manliness in all his activities permeated the atmosphere of the school plant he served. This person is Iohn Davenport, the foot- ball and track coach, and science and mathematics teacher of Duncan High School. It is to him we wish to express our appreciation for his awareness in develop- ing finer and more wholesome youth. IOHN DAVENPORT H .
