The achievements of tomorrow will be accomplished by those who today, are preparing themselves for the tasks they must face. Competition will be greater, the duties more severe and success harder to reach as the years come and go. It is one thing to have health and ability and another thing to develop and use these great assets. Tomorrow will be too lateto get a good education. Today is the day. We can- not dodge the opportunity and the responsibility of the future. Those who prepare for it will have the faith, courage and training necessary for leadership. My greatest desire for you as seniors is to fully prepare yourself spiritually, morally, mentally and physically for that wonderful task that lies ahead of you. Very truly yours, QJLoxJLlj £ - d!u Charles E. Gourley Superintendent BOARD OF EDUCATION SOURCEFUL—RESOURCEFUL Once again we wish to give special recognition to our School Board for the work that makes our school system possible. Employing teachers and bus drivers and making it possible for the budget to be large enough to see us through the school year are only a few of the important tasks they per- form. Their efforts toward improvement seem untiring. Though they may not receive the thanks they deserve, we want them to know we realize that they are primarily responsible for making our School days possible. Members of our School Board are: WAYNE BROWN, President VESTER SMITH RUSSELL KERNES W. C. JENKINS, Secretary JAY BARTON R. B. TYSON EMANUEL SCHWAB cMuflt Scluxo-l dltid Qfiddle.

THE YEAR IS 1970: We, Bobby Joe Williamson and Lee Wayne Brown, have just made a million dollars selling Juicy- Burgers in Florida--thanks to the experience obtained during our Junior year at H.H.S. Not knowing what to do with our riches, we decide to tour the world and see how our old classmates of 1955 are mak- ing out. Our first stop is in Enid, Okla. where we find Laura Detrixhe in a two room apartment with 15 children crying. ( POOR JIM! ) We board our super jet and go to Kansas City to see the Kansas City Athletics play ball. To our surprise we find Lynn Jackson selling hot dogs and Bill Crites serving as assistant to the bat boy. At our hotel room we turn on the T. V. set. A face appears that looks familiar, oh yes, it’s Roger Haley dusting off Liberace's piano. We suddenly change channels and see Jimmy Hausler wres- tling Gorgeous George for Heavyweight Championship of the World. On our way to the airport, we see a large parade passing by. It is honoring Four Star General Floyd Steinle who has just won the conquest of Switzerland. We decide to leave the earth and go to the moon, as we board the rocket, we find Roberta Ying- ling as stewardess. (The first woman to go to the moon.) Arriving at the moon, we meet Hope Cloud happily married with her tenth husband--a robot. From the moon we speed to Mars where we tour a large factory. There we find Stanley Keen working as a professional Pretzel Bender. We travel back to earth and stop at Denver where we find Jim Bradney folding papers for the Denver Post. Returning to Florida we stop at dear old Higgins, We are happy to find Ronald Steinle who now owns Jones Food Store. No he didn't make his money working there, but he married C. L. Jones.
