? - L. H. RITCHERSON V. HICKS SA LUTE YOU COACHE M. A. DAWSON R. H. HARDMAN 1 Planners for the future, architects of victory, molders of moral courage, the coaches of Moore High School teams are the worthy possessors of these attributes. Their untiring and unrelenting efforts have led the Lions to many great moments in athletic competition. They are an uncommon breed, who have compiled fifty years of coaching experience at Moore High School. By their unselfish devotion and patience, they have instilled within the boys not only basic fundamentals of the game, but a high standard of ethics to follow through- out their lives. We, the Seniors of 1964, take the greatest pride in saluting our coaches as a token of our deep affection. - - Jimmy Summers

DEDICA TION JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY 1917-1963 On November 22, 1963 the thirty-fifth President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was the victim of an assassin's bullet. The tragic news of that dark November day made an indelible stamp on the memory of every American. For hours, days, weeks, and even years it will be difficult to un- derstand the why of this senseless tragedy. To the young American, John F. Kennedy was a symbol of hope. Particularly did he capture the imagination of the young with his vigor and vision - a vision of a noble, free America - a world of peace. To him opportunities for all Americans had no boundaries and to this cause he dedicated his life, A profile of courage has been etched in our memory and from this profile we gain renewed dedication to the ideals for which our great country stands . . . life, liberty, and pursuit of happi- ness.

ROBERT JOHNSON, Editor-in-Chief The senior class of Moore High School presents the 1964 edition of The Lion. In it we depict the stu- dent life of Moore High on the campus, in various organizations, activities, classes and athletics. In choosing the theme, We Salute Our American Heritage, we can visualize the obligations we, the younger generation, face in inheriting citizenship in afree and democratic nation. We must be grateful to our leaders, from our first President George Washington to President Lyndon Johnson, who have made great strides in achieving a democratic. government. Likewise, we are grateful to the administration and teach- ers in our public schools. We are optimistic about our future. We agree with the American novelist, Thomas Wolfe, who said, I think that true fulfillment of our spirit, of our people, of our mighty and immortal land is yet to come. Speaking for the annual staff and- senior class, I wish to express my gratitude to all who aided in the publication of this, The 1964 Lion. - -a Robert Johnson
