Roland High School - Ranger Yearbook (Roland, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 154 of the 1955 volume:

Sophomore Officers preparing to board a bus. As a record of a school which has pro- gressed from the covered wagon days to the days of modern bus transporta- tion we respectfully dedicate this book to the students and faculty of Roland High School. Presented by the Seniors of 1955 Superintendent’s Message The school year 1954-55 has been full of rich and dynamic experiences. Not all these happenings have been pleasant but almost all have resulted in definite and positive accomplishments. This accomplishment was made possible because the people involved were broad-minded and more concerned with over all good than selfish interest. It is gratifying to see boys and girls developing, even through difficulties, into strong characters. I would like to express my gratitude to our fine Board of Education members who in their quiet way have contributed such a stabilizing influence in this en- deavor. Also, our faculty members and patrons have been under standing and coopera- tive in all our efforts, for which we are grateful. Difficulties are Gods errands, and when we are sent upon them we should esteem it a proof of his confidence in us. B o a r d o f L. P. Dyer Clerk Arthur Lenington Vice President L. F.

Identity of the queen was kept secret until the crowning ceremony. A Halloween messenger at that time presented the crown to the pro- per escort. The same procedure was fol- lowed in the crowning of the princess and the duchess. Carnival Attendants Mary Ellen Wilson of the Fifth Grade was elected Princess of Halloween. Her Attendants were: Patsy Tippitt, Mary Ruth Edwards, Darlene Owens, Gary McAlister and Tommy Barthel. Bertha Lea Barnes from the First Grade was named Duchess. She here sits surrounded by her attendants: Phyllis Resch, Dennis Willard Rogers, Sue Tinney, Billy Conley, Roy Tex Lennington and Gary Don Owens. The little messenger to the right of the Duchess is Shirley Eubanks ONITA MIZE Annual Queen Annual Queen Attendants Upper left: OMA FAYE BURCHAM Upper right: LA VERNA TABOR Left: FREDA METHENY An exciting contest of the year was the contest for Annual Queen.
