"The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best."

“Personally, I have always felt the best doctor in the world is the Veterinarian. He can’t ask his patients what’s the matter. He’s just got to know.”

Will Rogers High School can boast of a stellar group of graduates who have achieved fame or extraordinary success in their chosen careers.
The first class of honorees was inducted in 1989. With the exception of a single inductee a few years later, the program was dormant until the second class was inducted on September 18, 2009.

The 2011 honorees will include our 1956 Class' second inductee Russell Meyers who has a gift for art and humor and has shared it with millions for more than 50 years. He always wanted to do a comic strip, but first came 10 years (5 as an employee and 5 as free lancer) at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City where he had more than 1,000 cards printed. Not without rejections, he created Broom-Hilda, a short, green, occasionally loveable, 1,500-year-old witch, who debuted in April 1970. Myers (and Broomie of course) won the National Cartoonist Society Best Humor Strip in 1975. He draws the strip from his home in Oregon.
