Since his days as a campus athlete in 1909 when he was a four-letter man, he has devoted his eritire career to education in Oklahoma. He has been teacher, principal, superintendent, and Assistant State Superintendent of Schools. In the forties he stumped the state for teacher-retirement. Successful, he issued the first membership and holds the No. 2 card himself. Since 1945 he has been associate professor of edu- cation as well as director of field activities, corres- pondence, and audio-visual education.

FORE ORD College is a time of searching. In the few years spent here, you, the student, sought to orient yourself to life. You sought enlightenment, understanding, and a goal for which to strive. You sought a personal philosophy that would guide you for the rest of your life. College played a vital part in aiding you in the search. Your experiences here-the triumphs and disappointments, serenity and frustration, pleasure and pain-were intrinsic to life itself. This made the years spent at Central State among the most important of your life. These things which so changed your future are recorded in the 1961 Bronze Book. We believe that in years to come this record of your college days will cause you to appreciate the part Central State played in guiding you in your search. We sincerely hope your years here-the good years-led you in some way to the goals you were seeking.
