It has been a pleasure being junior high principal of a school whose staff and students are made up of such outstanding people as will be found in the pages of this annual. This year has been successful because of the work, cooperative ness, loyalty, and untiring effort of each faculty member and student. It is my sincere hope that all of your relationships with the Oologah School have been pleasant and have contributed to your being a better citizen in our great democracy.

HANDS ASSIST To acquire knowledge, to render service, and to prepare for a better way of life are goals at OHS. I am proud of a school that supports both a modem curriculum and modem ideas, students are appreciative that they have been instrumental in developing this advanced way of studying and learning. Certainly not a young institution, OHS has utilized its years of existence in building a reputation of being an educational center where knowledge is acquired and students are encouraged to develop their skills. The students themselves are everywhere, probing into new fields of interest and into new cycles of learning. The past three years as secretary in OHS will be fond memories in the future.
