WELEETKA, OKLAHOMA School Year, 1962-63 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Inherent in the concept of Democracy, is the need for an enlightened citizenry. As our technology, population and problems increase, the necessity for education mounts. Just as challenges and opportunities are continuously recurring.events in our lives, so education and preparation must be continuous lest we fall behind. It has been our purpose and fervent hope that the opportunities offered by our school would provide the basic, essential preparation for the challenges of the immediate future - and that you would press forward and on in your persuit of knowledge; that the strength of your character and personality might be felt in lat- er life in an even greater way than it was here at Weleetka High School. Sincerely, Lewis Kennedy Principal

TO THE CLASS OF 1963: I cannot help wondering what awaits you as you leave these halls and become self-sustaining citizens in this world of ours. You face a world in which technilogical develop- ments have far over-shadowed the spiritual. We know that this ever-widening gap must be closed lest we annihilate ourselves in this misconception of prog- ress ! Nothing is so vital to the peace of our world than the spiritual and academic education of our youth. Yours will not be an easy task but we, who have worked with you these past twelve years, have the ut- most confidence inyou. We feel that you have the sturdy independence and unbridled initative of our fore-fathers and, will meet the challenge that confronts you. May God grant you the courage, wisdom, and self- reliance to maintain the great American heritage which is yours. Sincerely,
