Teachers give years of service in classes at OHS Making a stencil is Mr. R. C. Bowman, teacher of industrial arts. Mr. Bowman has taught this subject for many -years at Okmulgee High. In- dustrial arts courses can begin as early as the eighth grade. Taking a little time from the teaching routine to become better acquainted are the teachers of Okmulgee High as they attend a faculty tea in the fall. Here Miss Lillian Brasher, chairman of the Homemaking department, serves Mr. Clell C. Warriner, Principal ,of Okmulgee High School. School Spirit in the many classes at Okmulgee High is evident each day in good class participation and a good sense of fair play in class work and tests. All classes offer opportunities not only in actual knowledge but also in human relations. Due to instruct- ors who have devoted years of time and experience to OHS students in various departments, School Spirit is kept high. One such valuable teach- er at Okmulgee High is Mr. R. C. Bowman who is chairman of the In- dustrial Arts department and a Seni- or class sponsor. Mr. Bowman retires this year and his help and guidance to OHS students will not be forgotten, for well-trained, experienced teachers are necessary to keep OHS and School Spirit working together. We are grateful to you, Mr. Bowman. fi . r 5 , wif Q .- s a r y.. Q 4 ' A Ei ,. , A .,, ,. V, ,MM X c ' ...l-.. - ...-f Q, 1.if-?fffi1Qf'iQar:r.S2- .. -161- .-'Q W.,
