To the staff that has been responsible for compiling this book, I wish to extend special con- gratulations because I know you have spent many hours in completing the task. It is a job well done. I always obtain a great deal of pleasure in being as- sociated with our institutions of higher learning be- cause it is here that our future citizens are getting il major portion of their training to better equip them- selves to carry on our form of government. It is becom- ing increasingly evident that you must have a college education and be trained to take your place in life if you hope to be successful in the competitive world. It is my hope that many of the senior class of this year will become teachers in our Oklahoma schools. It is a noble calling and one in which much satisfaction is gained. I have faith that the teaching profession will soon achieve the recognition, both as to salary and pres- tige, to which the teachers are entitled. Sincerely yours, Ufiam Jfocfqe A State Superintendent 25
