50 years ago, May 25, 1972Eddie Manley Attends Course At OU CenterEddie Manley returned Thursday from Norman where he attended a four-day course on radiological monitoring for instructors at the Oklahoma University Center for Continuing Education.Attending the course were representatives of fire departments, police departments and civil defense directors. Manley was sent by the Tonkawa Fire Department.As a result of the course he hopes to teach radiological monitoring to Tonkawa Auxiliary Police, Volunteer Firemen, Civil Defense volunteers and interested citizens. He will also be licensed by the Civil Defense to use radioactive source of Cobalt 60.The city of Tonkawa is given 25 sets of monitoring instruments by the Civil Defense, and Manley is now able to instruct in the usage of the instruments. He said such knowledge is needed, not only for civil defense, but by the fact that many radiological instruments transport nearby highways. “If they should be involved in an accident, we would be able to determine if it is safe to go nearby,” he explained.Stanley Hicks, brother of Mrs. Pauline Fuller, is the director for Civil Defense Work at the OU Center, Manley said.Thirty-One Have PerfectAttendance At High SchoolThirty-one students at Tonkawa Junior-Senior High School had perfect attendance during the past school year, Jim Mihura, high school principal, has announced.The students are: 12th Grade: James Steichen, Sandra Linton, and Janice Griffith.11th Grade: Judy Pedigo and Joyce Jared.10th Grade: Mike Yelton, Charles Conaghan, Betty Griffith, and Teresa Gessel.9th Grade: Darrell Barns, Darren Goodpasture, Frank Klufa, Riley Shaull, Rusty Storm, Frankie Francis, Ann Fitzgerald, Sherrie McMillen, Mary Jane McKee, and Debra Ailey.8th Grade: Kris Smith, Dennis Ailey, Gary Fruits, Kevin Hillhouse, and Marion Williamson.7th Grade: David Shearer, Ricky Jeans, Sandra Simmons, Melvina Miller, Darla McMillen, Caroll Jared, and Maggi Burson.Charles Curl Received Theology Degree at SMUCharles Edward Curl, son of Mr. and Mrs. Marguerite Curl, 410 North Sixth Street, received his Master of Theology degree from Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, on Sunday afternoon.Some 2,400 degrees, including 63 Ph.D’s and more than 1,000 other advanced degrees, will be conferred during the 2 p.m. ceremony in Moody Coliseum by SMU Chancellor Willis M.
