(Our ffityli rlurnl HuHMuy It is not built of marble white as snow. With painted windows or with gilded dome. And yet we love it’s plain brown walls you know. Since it has been for four long years our home. A home where we sought to gain great fame. And by actions we have won our name. And when our footsteps here no longer ring Around us still will sweetest memories cling. In future years our thoughts will often turn To this the scene of happy days gone by. And all too oft our hearts will sadly yearn Fcr friends and school mates of the Norman High. i

cilu' SoarJi of iEiiuratimt One of the most essential features for a progressive school is a board of education. Not a board composed of men as hard hearted as an oak tree but one whose members know child life and are in sympathy with its various phases. A school-board must not think of personal honor or gain but of the school reputation and advancement. In the City of Norman are to be found two grade schools and one high school. For the past few years the children have been blest with having some of the finest business men of the town at the head of their school matters. S. A. Ambrister, president of the Security State Bank is deeply interested in all the school activities. M. B. Shives has done much to improve the conditions of the state sanitarium. R. H Pendleton is well known as an efficient dentist. The office of county judge has been filled by B. F. Wolfe. E. A. Foster is a capable manager of The Carey-Lombard-Young Lumber Company as well as president of the board. One may call on R. E. Clement for real estate. R. L. Risinger is the proprietor of several buildings and a barber shop and W. F. Flood is a contractor. S. K. Westervelt is an efficient farmer. Charles Standley is in the employ of the government and is one of the most conscientious members of the board. These men have labored hard to raise the standard of the Norman schools. The courses of domestic art together with advanced courses of domestic sci- ence and manual training have been added to the curriculum this year. The students of 1914-1915. desire to sincerely thank the board for their gift of the beautiful loving cup presented annually to the debaters. Even as the fountain has taken on a brighter and a whiter appearance so have the many depart- ments in the school. The board has quietly and considerately managed several disagreeable matters and have just as considerately and kindly given much attention to the happy affairs of school life. For the many tiresome hours that have been spent in school We, the students of Norman High School, and especially the Class of 1915, desire to express our great apprecia- tion to the school board. We say, “for the tiresome hours” yet we hope that the board enjoyed doing for us what is beyond us as yet and in years to come we will try to repay in full measure by aiding the coming generation as this board has helped us.
