HIS GREATIZST ADMIRICR and help through 25 years of principal- ship has been his wife lfsther. Mr. and lVlrs. Selby are seen together at school functions from hallgatncs to formal dancts. as thty art seen to- gether here. M. Selby To Continue ervitze in ew Capacity Enid High School is going to miss D. Bruce Selby as her principal. She is going to miss his big booming laugh, his an- tics on the stage during assemblies and his rough voice issuing from behind the closed door of his office. his audacity to speak for right, his fairness in dealing with others. Bruce Selby's romance with Enid High began the First time he entered the door in 1924 to organize Enid's first summer high school. teach science, and coach football. basketball. and track. He must have been a hit even then for the i925 QUILL annual had this to say about him: lVlr. Sclby's services to the school cannot soon be forgotten. Basketball season came in with spirit that has seldom been equaled by any team. He brought spirit to the student body and packed the gymnasium for every home game. During the past 25 years. he has endeavored to heighten the level of education, instill the student body with spirit through any disaster, the worst being the fire that destroyed Enid High School in IQ43. He saw her built back brick by brick and student by stu- dent. He strived to improve himself taking graduate work at Chicago University, completing his lVIaster's degree in administration at Phillips University, and serving in executive capacity on every single local, dis- trict. and state educational organization. Mr. Selby, always approachable, discussed many problems with students and helped with extra-cur- ricular activities, In discipline problems, he coaxed some, chastiscd others, but helped all Who desired it. He has helped hundreds of students With scholarships. positions. college choices. and time schedules. lVlr. Selby has twirled his rope and peppcd up many an assembly. He has been the first to have fun and the first to do work. Every day he found himself practically the first to arrive and often the last to leave. His devotion for Enid High and her students was indeed great. The graduating class of 1959 will be his last. With his new position. he will go on serving the Enid Public Schools as best he can. The oil portrait paint- ing of lVIr. Selby which the student body presented as a token of affection and respect to him is small com- pared With what he has given, but will serve as a lasting reminder to all who see the halls of E.H.S. lVlr. Selby is a most remarkable person. He has seen more of this fabulous land of ours. traveled farther. and enjoyed this swift-changing world more than most people because he has lived so abundantly through his interest in all the people he met. He has given himself to every worthwhile enterprise. He lived Enid High School spirit as one of his contemporaries said. I think personally one of the most enthusiastic persons I ever saw-has worked hard and contributed a lot to Enid High and the community-a very capable administrator. loyal. faithful to all concerned, and has had a tremendous amount of Work to do for one individual. He has done an outstanding job. very capable of planning and organizing things for the best of everyone. and I per- sonally am very thankful for the years had in associa- tion with him as a member of his faculty. AT THE DINNER given by the faculty members in Mr. Selby's honor. Robert Pyle presents hitn with a portable tele- vision set in behalf of the whole faculty.
