FLOYCE COLEBANK We, the Annual Staff, in behalf of the entire student body, take the upmost pleasure in dedicating this 1956 Wildcat to our advisor, Mrs. Floyce Colebank. Because of her undying efforts and never-ceasing patience, the editing of this annual was made possible. It has indeed been a great pleasure and privilege to have worked with her from those first few weeks of planning, throughout the completion of The Wildcat. The Annual Staff Earlsboro School wants the best for its students and takes pride in your accomplishments as you take pride in achieving them. At the same time it is proud to provide for you an opportunity to better qualify yourself for the society in which you will serve. To miss this opportunity so early in life, or not to take advantage of it, could severely handicap your advancement for many years. Watching students grow, both physically and mentally, brings self-satisfaction to one who knows that through his or her efforts, some contribution has been made to the curriculum that directed that growth toward bringing about a better prepared citizen. The student body, faculty, patrons, and School Board of Earls- boro are of the highest type, both intellectually and morally. I consider it both an honor and a privilege to serve as your Superin- tendent of Schools. C. J. Smith A. L. VANLANDINGHAM President Highest educational standards are found at Earlsboro. V. J. PRITCHARD Vice-President Our wish is to provide a school that the faculty and student body will be proud to remember. C. R. BOWLAN Clerk Let us all work together and make a good school even better. “ R. L. BARRETT Member Earlsboro School may not be the biggest, but it is one of the best. C. W. COLE Member I think we have one of the best faculties with which I’ve ever had the pleasure of working. ir- roooooo jOi 3OOO0r OOO 0030 3QQO JAMES YEISLEY F.F.A.
