Administration Works Hard For a Better School Bob Listen, President and Ray Winn, Clerk. Members: Harold Morse, James Foshee, and James Sturgill. Dr. Ted Wilkerson Superintendent B.S. Degree, M.S. Degree, and D. Ed. Degree OSU Challenge of Education Margaret Mead said it this way, “We are now at the point where we must educate our people in what nobody knew yesterday, and prepare in our schools for what no one knows yet, but what some people must know tomorrow.” It is evident in our recent curriculum and equipment ad- ditions that our school believes in relevant materials and in- novations. Changes pertinent to the times must be made for the adjustments of today and tomorrow. However, the past must not be forgotten or ignored as it is relevant to the fu- ture. The legends, traditions, and culture of a society have always been perpetuated by the elders of society, passed on to the younger generation. I believe education can be compared with the pyramids to the extent that the wider and stronger the base or know- ledge of the past, the higher we can build the pinnacle or knowledge of the future. We must however, not be content with the foundation of the past but press ever upward to- ward the future. We have often heard that “a building is no stronger than its foundation”; perhaps we should also stress that the value of the foundation is determined by what is built upon it. It is our fervent hope that our students build a strong foundation during their formative years here in the Jones School and continue to build toward the pinnacle of the future throughout their lifetime.

Mr. Preston R. Keely Sr. High Principal, M.S. Degree, Student Council Co-Sponsor In his spare time, Mr. Adams finds relaxation in listening to music. He said that while he likes different types, he prefers the older music to that of today. Another of his hobbies is gardening, which he does during the summer hours. He also enjoys going on weekend excursions with his wife, learning different facts about the history of Oklahoma, for they are both history teachers. Mr. Keely is a true lover of sports. He enjoys all sports, but basketball is his favorite. A participant in sports all during his school life, he was on the Oklahoma State Univer- sity basketball team. Farming is another of his pastimes. He lives on a farm near Luther, Oklahoma, and finds many hours of enjoy- ment there. Mr. Harold L. Adams Jr. High Principal, B.S.; M.T. Degrees, Social Studies 4
