There is a tendancy on the part
of many within our state to point
out the weaknesses of Our educat-
ional system without also point-
ing the strengths. We have been
made aware of the states low
ranking nationally in such areas
as teacher sa?aries, school con,
struction, total student expendit-
ures, district reorganization, and
~hortcomings in other educational
areas. The strengths of our state
system are often overlooked or
not mentioned.
Did you know, for example,
that Oklahoma has achieved more
by far in the past 14 years in im-
proving the scholastic qualificat-
ions- of its teachers than ,any other
state in the nation?
homa State university, , In fact in 1960~1, Oklahoma
' ' ] topped all states for the third
Rev. John Richards, .pastor of I consecutive year in the qualificat-
the church, gave the Benediction./ ions of its teachers. Of the 21,983
I
active teachers in Oklahoma,
There were seventy-two present 21,915 or 99.7 percent of them had
for the banquet.
The Courthouse Cafe in Chand-
ler was the scene of the Valentine
dinner of Theta Chapter Alpha:

Guests were the husbands of the
members.
PreSent were: Mr and Mrs Brix-
ey, Mr and Mrs T.J. Hampton, Mr

is the highest percentage in the
nation and places Oklahoma first
among all states in the qualificat-
ions of teaching personnel. The
fact that 36.4 percent of the Okl~.-
homa teachers have Masters De-
grees or better adds further
glitter to this record, Here in
Perkins 11 or our 21 teachers bold
Masters Degrees which is 52 per-
cent of the total staff.
