Mrs. Deal is our librarian. We always find her when we want something special in readings and reports. She teaches some junior high classes in social studies and science too. She holds a B.S. with high honors and a masters degree from Pitts- burg State College, and has taught at P.H.S. for thirteen years. This year she is a sponsor for the eighth grade. She and Mr. Deal live at Treece where he has retired this year after thirty-five years as a hardware merchant. They are pictured with their little dog Mike who has a very special place in their he arts. Who is the star of this show? The center of attrac- tion? The attention getter? It is Larry Puryear III, just sixteen months old. Mother KariZoe and Daddy Larry II just look on with admiration and shouldn't everyone? I-Ie's just great! Dad Larry has been teaching here for seven ears. He teaches science in both 'unior and Y J senior high school. The student council looks to him for advice and leadership. His Alma Mater is Northeastern State where he took his degree. The smiles here tell the story of a family who just plain like each other. Both Burl and Nadine Mullins are teachers, but we can't claim Nadine, she teaches at Treece. Pat, at the right of the picture is a sophomore at NEO AGM at Miami. Mr. Mullins claims two degrees, a B.S. from East Central State and M.S. from O.S.U. In his eighth year in our school, he teaches classes in vocational carpentry and sponsors the senior class. The Al Hamils make up this handsome family group. Mr. Hamil is shown with his wife Jenny, and Kenny, seven, who is in the second grade, Linda, three years old, and brand new baby Ronald Joe, who is the center of all activity at the Hamil house right now. Mr. Hamil is our music teacher and has built the music department into one that commands great respect all over the state in the three years he has been at Picher High School. I-Ie received his Bachelor of Music degree at South- eastern State.

In the Spotlight Dear Mr. Spoon, This book is dedicated to you because you are one of our favorite people. You have our love and respect because you are a good , teacher and a good coach. In both of these very exacting duties, you have proved yourself firm, kind, and very interested in the things ac- complished by the students under your super- vision. We know that you gave up a career in pro- fessional athletics to teach and coach. That you would have been successful is proved by your history fsome highlights given belowy in high school, college, and in the service of your country. We do appreciate what you teach in the classroom and what you have done for our boys and our school in athletics. When you are gone, the memory of you will linger on in the halls and on the playing fields of Picher High School.

The Southwestern Collegian, Sat., Oct. 30, 1948: It was strictly a Bo Spoon show as the reliable quarterbacking ace clicked off three touchdowns to pace the Builders attack. Winfield Daily Courier, Wed., May 5, 1949: It was strictly Spoon's game as he struck out nine, walked three, and in addition to smacking the game's only round tripper, he drove in three South- western run.
