El Reno High School - Boomer Yearbook (El Reno, OK)

El Reno High School’s Official Emblem Symbolic of the traditions and purposes of El Iieno highschool is the official emblem, a result of long and careful planning. A com- mittee, composed of Principal Walter P. Marsh and home room repre- sentatives, has worked since the early pail of the second semester on the design for the emblem. The guiding light of knowledge is symbolized by the flame of the torch. Upholding the torch, representing our school, is a hand suggestive of the social order which maintains the educational system. The four specific purposes of the school are signified by the four sides of the diamond—skills, knowledge, citizenship, and character. Typifying the traditions of the school is the arrowhead outline, which is associated mainly with athletics. The creation of so appropriate an emblem has inspired in the student body a keener feeling of respect for the traditions and purposes of El Reno High School.

FOREWORD THIS EDITION of the “Boomer has been created to preserve the memories of the happenings of this school year—memories that are as pleasant, exciting, and interesting as those incidents in the life of that ideal Indian character, Hiawatha. Just as: “Forth into the forest straightway All alone walked Hiawatha Proudly with his bow and arrows;”— so shall we Seniors of 57 walk from our alma mater to face life with bows of wisdom and arrows of endeavor. In days to come we shall recall, in reading this annual, many of the teachings of our Nokomis, El Reno High School. We shall recall how we were taught to direct our arrows of endeavor at targets of accomplishment. Long shall we cherish the recollections of parties enjoyed, honors won, plays participated in, and classroom activities that were interest- ing and enjoyable. To us the “Boomer, 1937” will be not merely another yearbook, but a memory book, a wampum belt of treasured memories for years to come. (3)
