This is a personal book, a book of personal recollections. We hope the pictures presented will recall happy educational experiences and friendships of the past two school years. (Administration uptrinimdent and 1®oard of Education James Humphrey, Superintendent; Richard Cosner, Member; W. E. Payton, Member; Hastings Younger, President; Eugene Wood, Clerk; Arthur Lenington, Member. The men of our Board of Education are unusual in their ability to understand school problems. Some members have a high sense of value in transportation matters which is a vital factor in our fiscal picture; they have broad and competent knowledge in other physical areas, and it is refreshing to have the counsel of persons who are so well informed about what is good teaching. The members of the Board are experienced in the educational field—Mr. Lenington has thirteen years of experience, Mr. Wood, eleven years, Mr. Cosner, seven years, Mr. Younger, six years, and the newest member, Mr. Payton, two years. Over all, it would be difficult to find five people more capable or more dedicated than those members. It is a pleasure to attend board meetings.

The title of Ranger Queen is an eagerly sought-for title. Winners were decided for their beauty, and ability to get ads for the Ranger. Sharon Wilson, a petite charmer, was the pick of the Freshman Class. t JHnst popular Willene Freeman and Wade Turner were voted most popular due to their ability to get along with other boys and girls. They take part in all school activities and are important leaders in their classes. ISest Cooking This is lovely Ella Jeremiah and handsome J. W. Spain. Their good looks won them the title of Best Looking, but they are also highly thought of for their leadership in our school and in the Senior Class. Jflnst Athletic Connie Trunk and Arthur Beaty are valuable members of the Roland Rangers. Their ability to play basketball and their display of good sportsmanship won them this title of most athletic. This talented couple is Meredith Patterson and Bill Day. Their abilities are varied. Meredith is an outstanding accompan- ist for the High School Chorus. Bill won a lead- ing role in the musical Oklahoma. Alice Wilson and Bob Can are the ideal representa- tives of citizenship in our school. We sincerely hope to have many others follow their example in future years. Cheryl Riddle and Jerry Thornburg, seniors, were chosen as having the best personalities. Cheryl, a charming brunette, plays basketball; Jerry was King of the Halloween Carnival. They are both outstanding for their friendliness. (Citizens Hall o! Jfantc Mice Wilson, a sophomore, won first n geometry.

Learning to Do Doing to Leam Earning to Live Living to Serve Learning to do, doing to learn, has always been part of the FFA motto. The Roland Chapter has tried to ful fill these words. Each year our members participate in community service, supervised farm training, judging contests, fairs, shows, many other useful activities, and regular class work. 3F3TA Unus iUcriue Atnards Bill Bailey is shown receiving the highest honor be- stowed on a Roland F F A boy.

They serve during their study hall hours as a contribution to the progress of Roland School. duping 3s 3fun Where will these happy students be this time next year? Working in an office? Attending college? Serving the Armed Forces? Managing a home? No matter what the circumstances may be, the training received in the Com merce Department of Roland High School will be invaluable.

Humphrey is the instructor of the Biology and Botany classes. Two units of work are offered in the Life Science Department. General Biology is open to Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. The advance class may be any one or two of the following classes: Advance Biology, Botany, Zoology, Geology, High School Seminar, and Taxonomy or Meteorology. The first semester of 62-63 was Botany, second semester Geology, with Zoology during the summer. The Roland Science Department is developing a Nature Study Preserve which, it is hoped, will be a valuable outdoor classroom when completed. With the help of specialists from the University of Oklahoma the geological history is being read and written; the plant and animal life of the area is being catalogued; and ecological associations are being identified. The occurence of various plant species will be plotted on a map of the area and explanation as to why they are able to thrive in that area. Nature trails will be identified and, finally, taxonomic keys will be constructed to help visitors in identifying the various species present.

The 1962-63 edition of the Roland Rangerettes was composed of three seniors, five juniors and eight sophomores. What ever they lacked in size and experience was overcome by their keen competitive spirit. By midterm the Rangerettes had compiled an 8-6won-lost record, included in their victories were Cameron, Cedarville, Cave Springs, Gans, and Saliisaw. Five of their losses were by four or less points.

At midseason, the Rangers held a 500 percentage in the won-lost column, with a good chance to improve the mark. The conference championship hinged on one game between Gans and Roland, which Gans barely won by a single point. The Rangers were fourth ceded in the County tournament.
