+1 U r ? f--. K ,, , 6, l Putting finishing touches on remodeling job at the Council House by combined classes at OHS are Jack Castin, Alan Miller, and Jimmy Howell. Art and woodwork classes assisted in this work during Oklahoma's Semi-centennial celebration. As it is in any high school, at OHS the basic element, the fundamental, is the classwork. Okmulgee High, then, is not just the class- rooms, the thirty-odd desks, and textbooks. It is the result of patience from both teachers and students. It is the pure knowledge gained from science, math and language classes, the practicality stressed in D. O. and busi- ness courses, the thoughts of others used in literature and history classes. OHS is the classes. .x Interested in the Indian display in the museum at the Council House are David Goodman and Arlen Smith kneeling, Jim- my Howell and J. R. Hicks standing. Ready for a special performance celebrat- ing Oklahoma's birthday are our twirlers Myrah Coleman, Joe Candioto solo twirl- er, and Carol Ridgley during halftime at a football game. -10-

A very important place in every student's life is the library. The OHS library has been very busy this year participating in the National Book Week in November, separat- ing the Junior high cards from the Senior high in the catalog ,and adding over 700 books. They also keep an up-to-date supply of college catalogs for Seniors. Information for Seniors is posted on one of the library bulletin boards, while the other is decorated with book covers and drawings by David Tomlin to encourage more reading by stu- dents. Selectlng a book from the 700 new ones in the OHS library this year is Donald Mason. Using the reading lab to test themselves are Allan Johnson Carol Wilson Mary Ann McCauley, Rex Kay, and Leo Huppert. This lab is designed to help students gain more reading speed and ease.
