Weleetka High School - Outlaw Yearbook (Weleetka, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1955 volume:

FOREWORD As the earth strata reveal the life of the past, so we hope that in the same way this volume will pre- sent to you a true record of the memorable events of this school year at Weleetka High School. We have chosen as our theme the uniquely interesting life of the past and the natural beauties of the present. Published by | Weleetka High . DEDICATION With sincerest appreciation for his ideals of scholarship, his whole-hearted devotion to his work and his long years of service to us and our school, we dedicate this 1955 Outlaw to our friend, THE SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE CLASS OF 1955: One of the things of wh'ch all of us need to be reminded is that one’s education does not stop at Commencement time. Education is a continuous process, and those who would stop l aming when they leave school are really taking a backward step. Think of education as continuous, never ending. Education does not end at four o’clock. It does not end in May. It does not end at grad- uation. Keep up with your reading of good books and, through your reading, continue to develop a keen interest in the world in which you live. Go on with your appreciation of good music, good art, and good literature. Try to find opportunities wherever you are to be of real service to your fellow men; affiliate yourself with those institutions and movements that have for their purpose the making of a better world. And remember that genuine and lasting success comes to him who can lose h mself in the interests of others. It is my wish that you have such success. Sincerely, C. M. JOHNSON . The Board of Education T. J. Lasater, president; Ed Gray, clerk; Homer Griffin, member; Murrei E. Cowherd, member, and J. T. Spence, member.
