When we moved into this, we bequeathed our old home to the junior high school, and they have occupied it ever since. We now have a Shop Building, built in 1940, which houses the Industrial Arts and Mechanical Drawing classes. Seven years later we added to our buildings, a garage to accommodate the five school buses. -3-

Seven publications have appeared since that time. In 1930 the name was changed to the Yellowjacket, to correspond with the name given the football squad by Max Thomas who was then a reporter on the Kingfisher Times and Free Press. In 1948 the seniors sponsored the book, and it was a senior project for three years. In 1951 it became an all-school project. The book received a Merit award in the con- test conducted by the Oklahoma Interscholastic Press Association at Oklahoma University in 1951. This group having been discontinued, the staff joined the National Scholastic Press Association of the Journalism Department of Minnesota Uni- versity. In so doing, they hope to improve their book.
