ADKISSON has a long and extensive experience in educational matters. He received his A. B. degree at Central College, Fayette, Mo., in 1911. In the latter part of 1911-12 he taught at Stuttgart Training School at Stuttgart, Ark. Central Academy was his next field of endeavor, and he taught there for two years. In 1913 and 1914 he took his M. A. work at Michigan University. In 1914-15 he taught at Central College, and in 1915-16 taught at Howard Payne College in the same town. He was principal of the High School at Fayette for two years and was Superintendent of Schools at that place for the following two years, After a year's experience in the U. S. Navy he came to Okmulgee and has been Financial Secretary and Purchasing Agent of the Board of Education from 1919 until the present time. When Mr. Bruner left for Columbia University to gain his Ph. D. degree, Mr. Adkisson was immediately appointed by the Board of Education as Acting Superintendent and his appointment by the Board was acclaimed as a move worthy of much praise. He has filled the shoes of our beloved Superintendent well, and the perfect unison this year of all the different cogs of our great machine of education has been largely a result of his untiring and inspired efforts. 4 -W ' 1 A ' l M, if - ' F' ..r i :1iii. 1'-iAifQ1'i:f'f. t- Af f V4 Ai! 725-J I - - ---- --'!'.:-1'P-fiilfriu' Arf'.'L'1sI-55fes5g RIN' PVGP ceivi also did High Scl' lxoma, wt ssrrcrl as outbreak :lie l2r4tl' ., . vi this in linen Mr. - 1 tin-.anle liorsfiiess ra'li'llvi CY fu fl.
