Foreword lust as Literature is said to represent the lasting impression in words of the meaning of Life, so is a school annual intended to represent a picture book of the life of a student group during the year it portrays. ln our school days, we think of our annual as .1 passing pleasure for the moment, but as years are added to our ages, and we approach the day when we begin to drift back in memories to earlier phases of our life, it assumes a far more important role for us. Scurrying through our newspapers before making a dash to early morning labors, we take note of items which pertain to our former fellows g and it is then that we have a desire to refresh our memories of olden times as to the former schoolmate who has gained public notice. As we look at his portrait in the annual, We recall our judg- ments of the fellow at the time we knew him, we ponder over the changes which time may have wrought in him, and we have a desire to renew old acquaintances with him in his new activities. It is then that the annual serves its most useful purpose toward contributing to our pleasures. This book is Volume Thirteen in the series which have been issued since the academy was created in 1919. From an original group of Forty Cadets, we have grown to a cumulative enrollment of over Four Hundred for this year. We can not depict these youngsters, the Cream of Oklahomals Youth, in their living quarters 5 but the transition should be com- plete when we state that our barracks were constructed to house 274 cadets. We have definitely reached the peak of our facilities for caring for the many who are here and the many more who desire to come. For their assistance in writing college class biographies and in steering cadets to the studio for their individual portraits in the class section, your Director is indebted to Charles A. Holden Ir. and Iohn I. Fitzstephens That this volume may be a source of pleasure and inspiration to all who read and view its pages is the sincere wish of all. Virgil E. Caldwell Major, Inf-Res.

.73 Dedication Wlieii a youth comes up through the ranks of life to assume the major office of his state, after having passed through all the schools of his native state, he is due special honor and recognition. He should know best what his state offers and needs, and how those needs should be metg for his experiences through the years of Working to the top must surely give him that wisdom and foresight which are neces- sary to the success of the state of his birth. To our new Chief Executive, the Honorable Leon C.
