as Mr. Harold W. Key, Principal of Sam Houston High School F5 Mefokee Jeohafeo' fo M Hafah' Key Popping up 'most everywhere at Sam Houston is a tall, distinguished-looking man who seems to share students' interests in all phases of school life. This famil- iar figure can be found in the halls, visiting classrooms, or checking on the cafeteria nearly every day. He is in the stands at all school sports events and attends each social function of the school. In short, he can be found wherever there is student life. He is known to students and teachers alike for his ability to find humor in almost any situation. Students have readily recognized his in- terest in them and have been caught up in his enthusiasm to achieve greatness for Sam Houston. He has a colorful background, although his whole life has been dedicated to the teaching profession. His wife shares his profession by teaching fourth grade at Berry Elementary School. Both of his sons were grad- uated from Arlington High with outstanding records of Honor Society and Student Council membership and athletic participation. His younger son, Charles, has 4 followed his father's footsteps into the teaching pro- fession and is now a coach at Arlington State College. He and Harold, jr. have both found satisfaction in workl ing with young people as their father has. After graduating from Whitewright High School and earning his bachelor's and master's degrees atTCUthirty- seven years ago, this man taught math for five years in Ida, Graham, and Mineral Wells. He then returned to his hometown to serve as superintendent of schools for nine years. For the next twelve years he was superintendent of schools at Pilot Point. In 195 3, he moved to Arlington to teach. Two years later he became vice-principal at Arlington High. In 1963, he was appointed principal of Arlington's newest high school. It is for his kindness, sincerity, and devoted effort to make each individual feel and become a vital part of Sam Houston that the '65 Cherokee Staff dedicates this book to Mr. Harold Key.
