FOR THE FULL LIFE fine arts mean much to these teachers. Jo Goodwin Rice, a graduate of Louisiana State University, now teaches Speech and Drama and is Central’s librarian. Her son Ralph is in grade school. Very well known indeed for her oil paintings is Eighth Grade English teacher Edna Brecheen, Texas County Teacher-of-the-Year, a faculty member since 1956. GARDENING IS GREAT as a hobby for busy Myrtle Lois Bowers, already landscap- ing her new Goodwell home lawn. Mi’s. Bowers came to GHS in 1963 and teaches Mathematics. With Home And Hobbies HOME AND DOG LOVERS Alice Her- bei and Mary Martin fondle Mrs. Martin’s pets as they wait for their after-school coffee. Mrs. Herbel has taught American History here since 1943. Mrs. Martin has had the English IV classes since 1932, except for five years when she taught downstate.

HANDWORK ENTHUSIASTS are Georgia Ruth La Mar and Brenda E. Winters, enjoying their needlepoint and knitting after school at the La Mar home. Librarian La Mar came to GHS first as an English III teacher in 1953. Mrs. Winters, a graduate of Dakota Wesleyan University, has taught typing here since 1960, commuting daily from PAMC campus with her Junior son Steve. PURSUIT OF BEAUTY is reflected in the hobby of this talented group of Guymon teachers, displaying some of their original paintings. Hostess Jo Bennet Dunham, Tiger- land’s new Art teacher, is a graduate of Northeastern State at Talequah. She has a son Michael in grade school. Sophomore Eng- lish teacher Mayme Shaffer paints for relaxa- tion and enjoys her large GHS classes which she has taught since 1956. Mrs. Shaffer has a Junior daughter Susan. We Mix School Work “NOTHING SO RESTFUL AS READING,” says Seventh Grade English teacher Myrtle Wilt, just settling into her new Guymon residence where she posed for El Tigre’s photographer here. Mrs. Wilt, who has a Junior son Stephen, came to Central Junior High School in the fall of 1962. 10

THEY MUST BE BITING, so these faculty anglers heed the call of the lakes and streams for a week-end of fishing. Glen Phillips, a GHS and PAMC alumnus, has been teaching Woodworking in junior and senior high since 1961. Curtis West, who has coached both the Cubs and the Tigers since 1960 teaches Social Studies as well. U. P. Lindley, whose pet peeve is bad weather, came to Central in 1948 to teach Mathematics. He has a Senior son Pascal. OPENING GAMBIT for Davis A. Kroll! A faculty newcomer this year is chess player Kroll, the answer to Mr. Ward’s prayers for a faculty chess partner. A graduate of State College, Edinboro, Penn., Mr. Kroll teaches Science, Litera- ture, and speech to Seventh Graders arid acts as their assistant coach. HAVE YOU COME TO COLLECT? If you have, you will be in good company. These three teachers, wives, and moth- ers keep alert by following special interests. Louise Grammer and her family are arrowhead hunters. GHS Bookkeeping and Shorthand teacher since 1944, Mrs. Grammer has a Sopho- more son Gary and a grade school daughter Joyce. Lovely old musical scores delight Marion Jaunita Davis, Guymon High’s Vocal Music director, a faculty member since 1961. Patricia Gene Lee, a coin collector is now a high school Mathematics teacher and Na- tional Honor Society sponsor. Mrs. Lee, whose son Bryan Edward is in elemen- tary school, came first to Central in 1949. 12
