In future years old friends can greet old friends once again by turning these leaves, which may by then be torn and faded but which will still bring back those happy, never-to-be-forgotten days when we were young. '-GLORIA STURGE E, the seniors, are preparing to climb higher rungs on the ladder of life, and step into the future of which we know nothing.

BUILDING EXTERIOR Students of Will Rogers High School feel it an honor to attend a school named for one of Okla- homa's most outstanding and beloved citizens, our own Will Rogers. It is with a feeling of pride and humility that we. in our school, wish to uphold the name of the man who never met anyone he didn't like. In looking forward to becoming the future citizens of America. we find an added inspiration during our school years in the honesty and sin- cerity of such a citizen as Well Rogers. VVhcn the doors of Will Rogers High School swung open for the first time in September, 1939. there were three hundred fifty-nine seniors. five hundred twenty-four juniors, and six hundred eighteen sophomores enrolled. with fifty faculty members. Before the close of the year the faculty was in- creased with three additional members.
