Between the covers of this Kinkaidian lie the results of close co- operation and the results of lessons Well taught in dependability as well as in responsibility. We took on the job of bringing you a bigger, newer, and better Annual. Through the hard Work of all we have achieved this goal. Because of the enthusiastic help of everyone we had lots of fun and We hope you'll find that this is a job Well done. MR. W. J. GOLDSTON JA- MR. H. M. CROSSWELL. JR. MR. ISAAC ARNOLD MR.

Houstonas population was now estimated to be in excess of 250,000. Houston had become the third ranking U. S. port. Emerging from the depression, Houston was in the midst of a building boom. She ranked first in the South and eighth in the nation in building permits. Population now estimated at 350,000. 31,000,000 Houston Coliseum was fin- ished, and Houston was host to the huge Oil World Exposition.

You have been prepared for the important college years ahead, and for the adult years which you will live as citizens in your community and your nation. You are now becoming a part of an alumni group which has contributed much to the leadership of Houston, and are assuming a responsibility to lead and to serve. Because you have experienced much of the recent growth of Kinkaid, and under- stand its needs, we invite you, in your new role of leadership and service, to give your advice and help in the preparation for Kinkaidas second half-century. Your ideas, energy, and enthusiasm are needed in supporting Kinkaid's new building program. Instead of a farewell, we extend to you the hope that together we shall see the suc- cessful beginning of our new campus by 1956, the 50th anniversary year. JOHN H. COOPER 5 fi: 'Sixers Q.

WYATT The school recognizes the importance of quantitative thinking in everyday life-not only for the engineer but for the housewife or clubwoman as well. And so, for more than a generation an outstanding feature of Kinkaid's college preparatory program has been the training provided in mathematics. All students take at least two courses in this subject and the majority are enrolled for three or four years. ln the mathe- matics or science clubs the interested student may explore the fields of calculus or the practical application and research in the fields of electricity and electronics. An important skill of the prospective engineer is that of mechanical drawing-a recent addition to the Kinkaidx urriculum which is ably taught by Mr. Wyatt. Z of I MRS. LAIRD if - 5 f - t MR.

KEELER 1 ,, For Kinkaid students, knowledge of the Wonders and mysteries in the world around us is developed through four basic courses: general science, biology, chemistry, and phy- sics. These are supplemented in alternate years by instruction in earth science and psychology. For those with special science aptitudes the lab door is never closed-the objective-training for tomorrow's scientists through the free exploration of the student's interests. ill if W ll' 1 Pr! NIR.

Pyeatt, the librarian, is always available to those who need help in securing in- formation on a serious assignment or who wish only a period of relaxed reading. Because patrons and students alike have taken a keen interest in building a library. it has received much strong support. We not only have much fine reference material, but also numerous books on the current best seller lists, a good collection of record al- bums and a tape recorder. Several years ago as part of the library program, Mr. Cooper instituted the Book Fair which is held each Fall. We look forward to the occasion be- cause it presents an opportunity for us to purchase the finest of the yearis selection of reading ma- terial and in so doing enlarge and improve the schoolis present library.
