Seeking Q Greatness 3 f x , - FOREWORD On September 4, 1963, when the halls of Sam Houston High School first echoed with the sounds of shuffling feet and students' voices, a long tradition was broken, that of having only one high school in our community, Along with that broken tradition, a certain amount of unity among the youths of Arlington was lost forever. But as the weeks passed and we at Sam Houston became friends, the knowledge that the group attending Big Sam were members of an undertaking which had great promise more than compensated for any broken traditions and lost unity. As the first year progressed and the achievements of our students began to be recognized, the public became aware of a fact that had long since been common knowledge among the members of the Sam Houston student body, the fact that we, in our search for greatness, were beginning to find it. No school is without its pride-whether it be of respected and unbroken traditions or of some other intangible, something in which the student body unanimously takes pride. The student body of Sam Houston, at the beginning of this school year, had not a single tradition to honor. Did this situation place us at the disadvantage of not having anything of which to be proud? Of course not! When our school was given the name Sam Houston High, we were endowed with a rich heritage which far surpasses that of most other schools. Our heritage is of splendid deeds and of great men Whose ideals were noble, yet not out of reach. We can be proud to have our school's name associated with Sam Houston, Stephen Austin, Davey Crockett, and jim Bowie, and others who helped to make Texas what it is today. It is the everlasting spirit of these men and our pride in their deeds which are dominant characteristics in our school's spirit. It is this influence which shapes the overall atti- tude of our active student body. While many other student groups and individuals have been expending time and effort in their fields of endeavor, we, The Cherokee staff, have put in many hours on this annual. We hope that our efforts have resulted in a yearbook which displays quali- ty necessary to distinguish it from others, We have tried to utilize the historical heritage of Texas in presenting to you, the student, this picture of Sam Houston High School in its youth. 1
