We, the Yearbook Staff of 1961, on behalf of tb>e student body and faculty, wish to dedicate volume 19 of the Black Diamond Yearbook to e Board of Education: to those who have served in the past, to those who are serving now, and to those who will serve in the future. Our Board of Education works diligently to promote better ideals, facilities, and policies for our benefit. They work with undaunted perserver- ance. These men and women are the unsung heroes of our community. So, in our dedication, we sh to express our deepest appreciation to the vices rendered us by the Board of Education.

Progress with Pride, Patience and Policy, Superintendent

Seldom does progress come rapidly and in the field of education this particularly is true, but when we realize that a formal education requires from twelve to twenty years of our lives, then we appreciate the patience of those who take the time to acquire it. Not everyone will pursue this extended search for know­ ledge, and this is as it should be, but those persons who do find in it a certain feeling of pride that can come only after long and intensive study. This is one of the rewards that an educated person receives although it must be accepted with humility and humble­ ness. Any other acceptance would render it false. Looking back over the school years, we view with pride some of the accomplishments our school has attained in the past, but we must not be satisfied with these but, rather, wemust search cut continually those areas in which we need improvement and seek ways to accomplish it. I am especially proud of our student body, teachers, and other members of our staff for the fine cooperation they have given the administration in the development of our total pro­ gram. Without their staunch support, little improvement of progress could have been accomplished. But we still have work to do. Never before has the challenge to education been as great as it is to­ day, but we accept the challenge because we realize there are-frontiers in education ahead we must con­ quer if we are going to develop the kind of an edu­ cation system that meets the demands of our times. 1 hope each one of you, students, teachers, and parents, realize you have a responsibility in this challenge and accept it with the faith that it shall be met with the very best that is in each of us.

Progress

11 Senior Class of 1961 In the fa II of 1949a group of bright-eyed, eager, enthusiastic boys and girls embarked on an eventful voyage in pursuit of a Seniors public school education and the final reward, a nigh school diploma. Their first port of call was at Liberty School, where our skippers for the first year were Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. McDonald, and Mrs. Farmer, We Were somewhat wobbly and uncertain of our footing at first, but we soon got our "sea-legs and pre­ sently were stepping smartly along as members of the rhythm band, when not engaged in the more serious business of learn­ ing the three R s. Our next port of call was the Field House, after we had been promoted to the rank of "Seamen, Fifth class," Here we began in earnest the job of growing up. For the first time we came in daily contact with the upper classmen in our school and began to pattern ourselves after them. We also began to participate in competitive sports. Our junior high boys' basket­ ball team won the Sequoyah County Tournament in 1958, Out­ standing stars on this team were Jimmy Smith, Donald Casey, Martin Hawkins, and Jim Chuculate. Our ninth grade graduation in May, 1958 marked the end of one phase of our voyage and the beginning of the last and most interesting years. These have passed all too quickly. During these three years several members of our class have distinguish­ ed themselves in various academic categories as well as in school activit ies. In our Sophomore year our cand idate for football queen, Brenda Callahan, was chosen over the Junior and Senior candidates for the coveted honor of presiding over the Homecoming foot­ ball game. In our Junior year anumber of our class members won Balfour awards for superior achievement in various fields: Paul Agent, Mathematics; Margaret Stites, American History; Andrea Mayo, Biology Saundra Crutchfield and Ray Sparks, Citizenship. Two members of our class, Paul Agent and Jimmy Smith, were chosen to represent our school at Boys' State in Norman last June. Two N.O.A.A. Conference records in track were set by Martin Hawkins. Now the last year of our cruise is nearing the end. As the Not pictured; John time draws near and we begin to see the distant shore line on Ballard which we expect to meet unknown responsibilities and adven­ tures, we are somewhat reluctant to disembark from the good ship S.H.S., which has been our home for the past twelve years.

Under the able command of Captain Leeper we have made good progress and Freddy Woody Foot­ have achieved most of the goals toward which we have worked. Although some of the voyage has been stormy, much of it has ball, Wrestling, F.F.A. been pleasant sailing. However, new experiences are waiting, Baseball. and time does not stand still. We will step on shore withhigh hopes and eager anticipation for the future.

Mrs. Margaret Wilson from Liberty Grade School was presented the award of "Teacher of the Year" from Sequoyah County, on September 30, 1960. It is an honor given by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce from the Oklahoma County State Fair Board. Every county in the state was represented by one teacher. They were furnished with rooms in the Wells Hotel. They went to Skirvin Tower to register and then to a reception. They had their lunch in the Persian Room. Mrs. Wilson visited the Planatarian at the fair in the afternoon. Mrs. Wilson and the other teachers received the award, for teaching, at a banquet given in their honor. Mrs. Wilson has taught at Sallisaw for thirty-eight years.
