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.

BRUNER Superintendent NDOUBTEDLY much of the prominence afforded to the Okmulgee School system is directly due to the efforts of its Superintendent, Herbert Bruner. A recognized leader in the ranks of education, Mr. Urum r has introduced ideas which have met with the approval of experienced educators throughout the nation. Mr. Bruner received his A. B. degree al Central College and his A. M. degree at the University of Missouri. llc was assistant in Educational Psychology, Missouri University, and Violessor of Education, Arkansas University. Mr. Bruner is on leave Of al-sence attending the University of Columbia, where he is Working on his !'li D. degree. Next year Mr. Bruner will be completely lost to Okmulgee, time he will take up his duties a member of the faculty in the Depart- 'iltlli oi' Education at Columbia University. Profound, indeed, is the iw ew-ct ol' all Okmulgeeans that the services of Herbert B. Bruner will no ffl!-95411 be available to the city whose schools have grown and expanded urnli-v' his guidance until they have become outstanding for their excellence 1fll'l rl'l'i4-ivlicy.

A. ...c 'f A PAUL N. CAMPBELL Principal RINCITKXL PAUL N. CAMPBELL comes to Okmulgee one of the best prepared and most experienced educators of the Southwest. He re- ceived his A. B. degree from the University of Oklahoma, where he also did his graduate work. From 1913 to 1915 he was principal of the High School at Hartshorne, Oklahomag in 1915 he went to Savanna, Okla- liomzi, where he was Superintendent of the Schoolsg the following year he -lr-iw cd as Superintendent of the Schools at Pittsburg, Oklahoma, until the oollmxzilq of the war, when he joined the army and became an officer in .lic l2Nth field artillery. Norman was fortunate in securing' the services ol' this man the two years before he came to Okmulgee. Although this has in-vi. lllr. Campbells first year at O. H. S. he has already established an iwialvlc- record for efficiency and unfailing' service. His unusual conscien- iiiwanicss and untiring effort have greatly added to the excellence of 0111' .feiiiiil syf-tc-in. We are fortunate, indeed, that Mr. Campbell will return to ll. ll S. next year and it is certain that under his capable direction the iilimiiioiial efficiency ol' the Okmulgee High School will become even more ,fi'ismLIllL'1'll than it has been in the past.
