1 Senior Class 1959-1960 Fort Meade High School To Our Miss Kittie” the Senior Class affectionately dedicates this year's FOMEHISO We realize that our home town has given us the heritage which will mold our future and shape our destiny. Regardless of how far away we may roam or how varied our tasks may be, we graduating seniors will always treasure memories of the cozy, friendly community of our school days. We can never repay our debt to this background which makes us what we are. To help us always to keep afresh tender memories of familiar places and cherished faces, this year we chose to feature Fort Meade, the best home town in the world. It is a wonderful town ... of churches, . . . of landmarks, J . . . of citrus groves and lakes, . . . and oj industry.

Okeechobee came back the second half with a strong rally that worried everyone - especially the bench. Fort Meade fought hard and tied the game up - 20-20. Okeechobee seemed to be running in luck when they pushed another touchdown across to win. Final score: Okeechobee - 26; Fort Meade - 20.
