Dynamic superintendent heads Enid schools Throughout the school year many innovations in education were initiated into the Enid school system through the efforts of Mr. O. T. Autry, school super¬ intendent. Due to his progressive planning, elementary education and adult training greatly advanced. This year Enid voters overwhelmingly approved the building of a vocational-technical school to better bal¬ ance the curriculum for students wishing on-the-job training or supplementary vocations. This school was available for students outside of the Enid district and adults wishing retraining. Members of the Board of Education voted unani¬ mously in their May 3 meeting to name the new voca¬ tional-technical school, The O. T. Autry Vocational- Technical Center. Mr. Autry was also responsible for the new person¬ nel added to the school program. Three registered nurses divided their time between the twenty-three Enid Schools. An elementary counselor and a speech therapist were added for grade school children. Chero¬ kee Park Special Education School and adult educa¬ tion completed the extensive school plan. As his second year as superintendent of schools passed, Mr. Autry saw preliminary plans of the begin¬ ning put into reality. MR. O. T. AUTRY, school su¬ perintendent, initiates many ideas into Enid’s school curriculum. MR. AUTRY speaks with Leon¬ ard White, Blackwell, Allen Rob¬ son, Ponca City, Tom Sullivan, Stillwater, Oklahoma State De¬ partment, concerning Title I. 9

Webb leads by tactful but firm suggestion Marking the second year as principal of E.H.S., Mr. Jack Webb recalled fun and advancements in the 1965-1966 school term. Mr. Webb worked conscientiously throughout the year with all faculty members. His pleasing person¬ ality and eagerness to help made him popular with teachers and students. The beginning of the year was marked by the vic¬ tory of the state football championship for the second consecutive year, a feat never before duplicated. E.H.S. soared high in student awards and group achievements in the various competitions throughout the year. In March, the North Central Visitation Committee toured Enid High. A committee representing the North Central Association visits member schools or schools desiring membership every seven years to determine whether standards set by the association are being met. The second year as principal proved quite eventful for Mr. Webb, and under his careful guidance and lead¬ ership, students prospered. As the year drew to a close, Enid High glowed in the bright light of an outstand¬ ing academic year. THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL year Mr. Jack Webb wisely directs curriculums and activities.
