Today I want to tell you about two more graduates of Corsicana High School who have done very well in their chosen professions, both of which are a bit unusual but very important today. As I have said many times, the mark of a successful school system is what its graduates have done in the business and professional worlds.

PASTORKT Get up with the chickens just once and never spend another night in a henhouse Andy Armistead Two more successful CHS graduates CSI approves projects in amount of $172,000 the petroleum industry. He has continued his career in this field until today he is recognized as one of the world's authorities in this important and specialized field.

Some of U)e evidences of this eminence include services as an active consultant in the field of drilling from floating vessels, services as consultant in this area with a number of major U.S. and foreign companies, services in presenting training programs in schools in America and in Europe. He has served as a guest lecturer at Institut du Petrole, Paris, in 1971, a high point in his distinguished career, besides authoring a number of technical papers on floating drilling operations and system designs. Perhaps the highest indication of his eminence in this area of work is the fact that he has authored a technical book entitled Introduction to Deepwater Floating Drilling Need Money for -Auto Home Improvements -Farm Ranch Personal Items? PUT OUR HANDY LOAN SERVICE PLAN TO THE TEST! FIRST NATIONAL SKF' bank said to be first complete book published on the subject of deepwater floating ms A matter of great pride to me that a young man who was a member of some of my early history classes here at CHS went on to great success in this very important area of energy production. Whether Corsicana High School contributed directly or not to his training is immaterial; the school did not handicap him and many others in rising to success in fields.

When Ijcldon was a senior at CHS, I also had a fine young man in my sophomore homeroom named Frank Dunton. I remember Frank as a very personable young man. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. E.

F. Dunton, 1715 Woodlawn. Mr. Dunton was an official of the Magnolia Pipe Line Co, Frank also was a very able young man, graduating in 1941 23rd in a class of 142. WHILE I do not have as much detailed information on Frank as I do on liCldon, I have been told items through the years of a significant trend.

He entered the medical profession, and today he is one of the outstanding specialists in Dallas in the field of plastic surgery. This is no run-of-the -mill areas of specialization, and his success in it is another star in our crown of successful graduates of Corsicana High School. After all, to develop good citizens in all walks of life is the one big goal of our educational program, but we also like to learn of successful graduates who have entered the very specialized fields and have earned eminence in those fields. We have to feel that these former students wear the stars in our crowns, and if this sounds like trying to bask in their reflected glory, so be it. By SYLVIA A.
