PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Long ago it was wisely said that a man's wealth con- sisted not in the abundance of his material possessions. Like- wise it may be stated that bricks, steel, mortar, and stone do not make a school. The theme of the Oracle. this year is centered around the building of our new Junior-Senior High School. When it is completed in all the splendor of its mod- ern facilities and architectural beauty, it is still only a build- ing. Figuratively, it assumes character as it becomes a true seat of learning. Its character and reputation is determined entirely by those who come and go within its walls. The Board of Education, faculty, students, and all other person- nel are presented with the challenge of giving a beautiful building the mantle of an outstanding school. We accept that challenge! Administration effigy, Mr. Slocum, Miss Hegman, Mr. Barber. Mr. Barber, District Superintendent of Schools, is ably assisted in the run- ning of our operation in Oakfield by Mr. Norman Slocum, assistant princi- pal, and Miss Marian Hegman, ele- mentary grade coordinator. These three people as well as Mr. Bain are chiefly responsible for the excellent and ef- ficient operation of our school. These people should be commended for the excellent handling of a very difficult situation created by the far-flung limits of the district and half-day sessions necessitated by our hitherto inade- quate facilities. The keqstone to ci well-run school
