FOREWORD EDUCATION! This is the bold cry across the lands and over the oceans. Never since the golden age of the Renaissance has modem man, crushed by the weight of prejudices, hatreds, false 'isms and his own ignorance in the ever-widening frontiers of his world, wanted so much to know, to grow, and to be educated. Some of us have finished the first important step in this great quest for learning; some are only at the begin- ning. Within this book, the STAFF has tried to hold in store your days of this quest, to make for you - — YOUR TREASURE CHEST Within this book, a treasure chest we've made. But not for gems and gold. But filled with things more rare and fine, As full as it will hold. Into it we placed pictures of your deeds. Of friends whom you hold dear, Of the classes, the teachers, the happy hours, That filled your life with cheer. If along your way of life in the years ahead, Dark, gloom-filled days should come, Your hopes, your dreams, your plans and schemes, Your bright, shining prospects to mar, Open this, your TREASURE CHEST of days gone by, And see how very, very rich you are. Here it is--YOUR TREASURE CHEST THE TIGER OF 1966 Temple Oklahoma
