Roland High School - Ranger Yearbook (Roland, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 162 of the 1956 volume:

A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned The thoughtful care of our resources will result in more profit than expending a great amount of effort. As our resources increase so does the need for care of those resources. Our talents are given to produce pleasure for ourselves and others. Unless we care for and develop those talents the converse of happiness will result. So, seniors, in particular, and all students in general, let us care for and develop those abilities we possess.
