rHE Norman Board of Education, realizing that the world today is de- manding ivell trained men and women in all walks of life, is endeavoring to meet this challenge by furnishing efficient teachers and good equipment in our schools. The Norman City Schools now employ seventy-nine teachers. Of these twenty-three hold Master’s Degrees, fifty have Bachelor's Degrees, while only six have no degree. In our diversified, curriculum, the admin- istration has endeavored to meet the needs of those who wish to go out to their life’s work immediately upon being graduated from high school, as well as those who wish to further their education by attending a college or a university. Norman remains at the top continuously in curricular events as well as in athletics. For the past two years we have placed second in the state interscholastic contests against strong competition with all other Class A schools of Oklahoma. Thus we are producing winners in all fields of competition and are giving to all our pupils splendid opportunities to be out- standing in some line of endeavor. J. Don Garrison Superintendent of Schools

Diagnosticians of The Future By Vida Rae Wilson WE, the student body of Norman High School, have something to brag about. Not our outstanding awards, our superb athletes nor our beautiful campus—guess again. You’re right—our faculty. And no wonder we brag, just look them over. Mr. J. Don Garrison, superintendent, is truly the person to have at the head of our city school system. His ability to manage and run efficiently this large school system and his interest in all of us guarantee him a place in our affections. Mr. George M. Roberts is our principal, and nowhere could anyone find one better loved by the students and those who work with him. Mrs. Mary Alice Hampton, registrar, is Mr. Roberts’ right-hand helper. Never failing in her duty, she has set a fine example for all of us. One of the busiest workers is Mrs. S. B. Spradlin, clerk, who finds time also to teach a typing class and assist us in en- rolling and paying fees. Going by departments we find Mrs. Walter C. Richards heading the English department. She steers erring seniors down the paths of knowledge. Her assistants in English are Mrs. Allie Mae Ward, who hammers golden pegs of knowledge into sophomores, and Mrs. Charles Wiest, who cultivates in her young sprouts a true appreciation for American writers and classics. Miss Vera Lane heads the history de- partment and makes American history as interesting as a current event. Her co- worker, Miss Nadine Runyan, revives the days of yore in her classes of History I. Mr. Leo L. Robertson distributes social sciences such as economics, geography and sociology. His students really learn what makes the world go ’round. Mr. Emory Anderson has shown many students the value of practical education through his commercial courses. Miss Winifrede Burke guides eager fingers along the keyboard of typewriters BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. L. C. Lindsay. Mr. Lynn Bui.lard. Mrs. S B. Spradlin. Clerk, Mr. Key Boyd.
