because the "forgotten men" of our office join hands with efficien-
cy every day, our standards and scholastic activities are near the

the importance of accurate daily records. Completing this group

What fun, what troubles, cmd what romances we have had. Yes, the time has finally come when we
can say, "Those high school days are gone-butnot forgotten." The seniors of 1941 had their share
of honors-also worries. From this class could be found the top-ranking scholars, athletes, and
orators of the school.
Leading these seniors was George Ellis who was always ready, willing, and able to do his part.
The scholars are too numerous to name, but outstanding among these are Bobbie Norvill and Mary
Louise Suggs.
During the year sports caught everyone's eye especially those of the senior boys. Iames Crowe,
Billy Freeman, Robert Hutchins, Hiram Keith, Hubert Heron, Vernon Stanley, and Durwood Pate
were the senior football lettermen. The basketball players consisted of Hubert Heron and Dur-
wood Pate, and the wrestlers were Edwin Ewell and Hiram Keith.
While these different sport activities were in full swing, the Ardmore High School Playhouse pre-
sented the senior play, "American Passport," in which eighteen seniors participated.
At the end of the first semester, a number of honorary plaques were awarded to the different classes
by the Student Council. The seniors won several, two of them being for scholarship and attendance.
Nine represented the seniors in the Student Council, of which Martha Colvert was president, Bobbie
Norvill, parliarnentariany Nancy Gray, secretary: and Carol Ptisser, treasurer.

Intelligent looking? I should say so. In fact, all the seniors
of 1941 look that Way, and these on this page are even more
so because they are the officers of this year's graduating
class. Holding one of these offices is quite a responsibility
and also an honor. The president is George Ellis who is one
of the most outstanding persons in this class. Other officers
are Flora Belle lvie, secretary: Evelyn Moore, vice-president:
and Martha Mclntire, treasurer, while the Student Council
representatives-at-large are Walter Coin and Nancy Gray.
Advisor for the senior class is Miss Muncy Piece, who has for
three consecutive years held that position, and helped to
make all activities successful.

If the junior Class had won nothing but first and second places in the Oratorical Contest, it would
have been honor enough to last one class all year. But these perky juniors, scorned at first by the
seniors and ignored by the sophomores, again left their rival classes far behind in the race for the
much-strived-for Service Cup, which was awarded at the end of the first semester. On top of all that,
the juniors got away with the punctuality award which was given with the Service Cup.
For weeks now, since these honors befell the "great middle class," the sophomores and the mighty
seniors have lurked in the dark corners of the building in a half-bewildered, half-ashamed state. To
add to their misery, Mrs. Schenk's junior home room won the home room Basketball Tournament.
In addition to this, three of the nine members the juniors have in the Student Council are execu-
tives-namely, Elmer Klein, vice-president, and Helen Fletcher, corresponding secretary, both Stu-
dent Council representatives-at-large, and jimmy Duke, reporter. Elmer, incidentally, was elected
vice-president of the Southeastern District Student Council Congress at Madill, November l, 2.
Marjorie McNees put up a good fight in the Band Queen Contest, not to mention that the juniors,
winning the competitive assembly, made their chances for the next Winning of the Service Cup even
better.
Miss Ethel McClure is sponsor and class officers are: Margaret Gilreath, president: Kenneth
Payne, vice-president: Gwendolyne Moyers, secretary: and Stanley Woodruff, treasurer.
All in all, this has been very definitely a junior year!

This, Mr. Reader, is the Iournalism Staff of the l94l Criterion. Those
worn out looks are not from senior activities, not from national defense
problems, but rather from the saying "Lite beqins and ends in one year
of journalism." We do mean the "end" tor some twelve poor, care-
worn souls-those who have sacrificed their "youth" to the editing and
publishinq of this book.
Bobbie Norvill, editor-in-chief: Carol Risser and Mary Louise Suqqs, as-
sistant editors. The other members of the editorial staff are: Frances
Ann Dunlap, class reporter: Tommy Norman, sports editor, Margaret
Riddle, news editor: Iarnes Crowe, Dorothy Davis, copy readers: Othella

Above the roar of national defense and senior high activities a com-
pany of students drafted for work on the Criterion entered the journalism
room late in Ianuary 1941. Among those drafted were: Kennith
Frakes, Business Manager, Frances Ann Dunlap and Myrtle Stamps,
Assistants, Kirk Dyer, Advertising Manager, Ronald Housley and Dar-
rell Whitehurst, Assistants.
After many Weeks of soliciting advertisements the financial goal was
reached, thus these few emerged from a mental huddle with the finished
product, and on May 22 this staff, numbering 17, delivered the 1941
Criterions to 325 high school students.

Eighteen seniors, each with a bad
case of iitters awaited behind stage
the rise of the first curtain of "Ameri-
can Passport," last November four-
teenth and fifteenth. Afterwards,
however, sighs of relief were heard
x. plus two long groans from Mr. Io
- Russell, director and Maria lane
Hall, assistant, for the first night of
the play was over and a success at
that. The same story may be told of
Friday night's presentation which ful-
E filled and completed the tradition of
the annual senior play of Ardmore
High School.
The cast included George Ellis,
Manette Lowenstein, Virginia Isbell,
Crawford Rogers, Nancy Gray ,
Martha Colvert, Bill Galt, Bette San-
ders, Carol Risser, Darrell White-

"What a Life," a Henry Aldrich play, was pre-
sented last April as an all-school production under
the direction of Mr. Io Russell, with Mary Louise
Suggs, Bette Sanders, and Nancy Gray as student
directors. Henry Aldrich, who was portrayed by
Robert Scruggs and Thomas Norman, emerged
from one mix-up to find himself in more confusion.
However, the entire trouble was traced to George
Bigelow, a bully and trouble-maker. And so the
curtain fell on another "Oh-but-I'm-in-a-mess" plot
which ended happily, leaving an audience just
as happy.

The pride and joy of Ardmore Highschool this year
has been its snappy sixty-piece band. Under the
supervision of E. Paul Enix the band has done more
than its part in bringing distinction to Ardmore High-
school.
At the Ada Band Meet in February Drum Major Billy Galt
marched his high-stepping red and Whites straight to top honors.
In front, leading the parade With Billy were prancers Dorothy
Engelhardt, Betty Io Scott, and diminutive Bobby Gene Scott.
The band was presented in two outstanding programs this year,
the impressive Band Concert March 20, and the Spring Recital
given jointly with the mixed chorus May 2.

Twenty-two members seem like a small organiza-
tion, but the Work the orchestra does and the
technique it displays proves that recognition
comes from quality rather than quantity.
The orchestra furnished the accompaniment for the
all-school play, the Baccalaureate and Commence-
ment services.
The repertoire consists of standard symphonic or-
chestral literature.
E. Paul Enix is the conductor.

naments. Also, he served as an official in the Alumni game.
Walter Rappolee, wrestling coach, is the B-team football coach, and, incidentally, a new member of

Atie forthe Big-Five Conference basketball championship befits the Tiger basketball team of the
playing season 1940-41. This year'.s Tigers featured dogged defense, consistent scoring, and ex-
cellent teamwork.
The Tigers were comparatively small in stature but big in playing heart. Their real fight and de-
termination became apparent in the last game of the season against their present co-championship
holder, Ada High School's Cougars, in a game that went into three overtimes.
Lettermen this year were: Charles Baker, Don Cummings, Lynn Gilstrap, Hubert Heron, Willie Ioe
Hightower, Kenneth Humphreys, Durwood Pate, Max Pinkard, I. L. Walker, and lack Williams.
With the close of the wrestling season, three of the squad's members were brought into the lime-
light after winning various honors at the regional meet held in Pauls Valley last February. They
were Leland Weichbrodt, heavy weight championship, Hiram Keith, third in the 154 pound class and
Albert Stringer, third in the l65 pound division.
The boys, under the direction of Walter E. Rappolee, math instructor, and present coach of the
wrestlers, who were given let-
ters, were: Captain Kenneth
Payne, Carl Barnett, Bob Davis,
Laurence Dunlap, Elmer Klein,
Edwin Ewell, Bobby Under-
wood, Tim Berryhill, Hiram
Keith, Albert Stringer, and Le-
land Weichbordt.

Edited bi-monthly and on special occasions, the Tigerite has succeeded in furnishing up-to-the-
minute news and unusual feature entertainment this year to some six hundred students. The
selection of editors, who are changed at intervals, is based chiefly on the amount of enthusi-
astic effort and Work put out on each issue. This year's editors have been Tommy Norman,
Carol Risser, Frances Ann Dunlap, and Myrtle Stamps.
Following the pictures at the top of the page We see the Tigerite in its six main stages. The
first of these steps is getting the facts on the hot "neWs-tip," which may come in the form of an
athletic event, an important school election, or merely a Friday night at the "Y." After se-
curing his information your reporter settles down to the Herculean task of Writing the article
in such a manner that it catches and holds the interest of the reader from beginning to end.
Next comes the tedious job of stencil cutting, the finished product often turning out to be more
correction fluid than stencil. The special touches and heads are now ready to be cut. This
step is not half so drastic as it sounds but does require an abundant supply of time and pati-
ence. After being mimeographed, it goes through the last stage of being stapled, and it is
now that your copy of the Tigerite, as you see it, is ready to go on sale.
Thus the editing and publishing of the Tigerite is just another phase of glorifying the poor,
insignificant news-tip.

The little red schoolhouse has undergone a great change. lts hard wooden benches, its old
wood stove, and its small hand bell have made way for more modern things. The building
itself has grown in size to provide room for an increasing number of minds eager for knowl-
edge. The specialized training required for today's successful life demands that the old cur-
riculum of readin', writin', and 'rithmetic be supplemented by various forms of physical de-
velopment-as both are necessary for a well-balanced school career.
A special expansion of our school is the brick, tile, and concrete gymnasium located be-
tween the junior and senior highschool buildings. This structure is to contain the school ad-
ministrative offices, a maplewood basketball floor, coach's quarters, equipment rooms,
locker rooms, and a practice room for the band.
Seating 1,500 people, heated by four motor-driven fans, and possessing a basketball court
that will better its model, the court at Classen highschool of Oklahoma City, in that it will have
the best locker room obtainable. Our gymnasium will be the best of any such structure now
owned by any school in southern Oklahoma.
The construction of the building is under the supervision of Mr. A. C. Brown, superintendent in
charge of construction, and Mr. Harold Flood, architect.
The seniors are moaning because they won't be able to use the gym this year, but it will be
ready for the present junior, sophomore, and freshman classes this fall.

Dear Gert:
Well, here I am making my usual dry report. Being a
census'taker in a place as large as New York City ls no
fun, but today I saw so many of my old schoolmates that
it made me think of the good old days.
Remember what a record-fiend Clarence Bivens was? Well,
he and Betty lane Harris have a shop of their own, now.
Richard Couch's familiar name was mentioned in our con-
versation. He is really famous, now that he is starring in
the title role of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Cleburne
Cude is doing all right, too. Bobbie Norvill and Kennith
Frakes finally became editor and business manager, res-
pectively, oi "Mademoise1le."
I happened on a theatre where Bette Ruth Sanders was
directing Shakespeare's "Macbeth," with Dan Mahoney in
the title role. Othella Gordon was Lady Macbeth and
Iackie Sandlin was disguised as Hecate, Queen of the

Witches. Mary Louise Rawson, Gladys Whittaker, and
Rotha Stubbs were "honorary witches." This came as a
result of their wonderful performances back in Mrs. Mad-
den's English classes. As promptress Betty lane Fields
did an excellent job.
F
As it was late and I was nearly starving to death, I dropped
into the first cafe I saw and came face to face with none
other than George Nail, chef du cuisine of his own restau-
rant at last. Employed as chief dishwasher de luxe were
Raymond Howie and G. C. Shaw who really get the job
done. While waiting to be served my Gray's Granulated
Food Tablets, originated by Nancy Gray who directs the
functions of a New- Foods Plant Ltd. of London, Vienna,
Toronto, and Ardmore, I glanced at a newspaper lying
near by and in Winchell's column I saw the names of
four of my old friends, Oleta Davis, W. D. Hall, Mary
Frances Sumner, and Gerald Bright who are still double-
dating. Will the boys never say "yes?"

On the front page in headlines I discovered Maurice Temer-
lin has at last captured the largest snake in captivity, and
Iohn Lucian Hoard and Charles Hale Parker, also big
game hunters in Africa, have just returned from their latest
expedition successful with the capture ot Thomas "Tarzan"
Norman, who years before on account of Mrs. Madden's
reporting his unexcused tardy and therefore causing him
to take all his exams, threw up his hands in despair and
fled to the dark continent to get away from it all.
I also saw where Iva Dee Murphree, Lucretia Stoutt, Bobbie
lean Caudle, and Alicia Whitenberg are assistants of Mary
Fern Patterson who has lately become keeper of the Art
Museum. Miss Patterson, with the aid of her assistants,
has just completed an art project she started under Mr.
Russell in senior high school which has unanimously been
named the ninth wonder oi the world.
Then turning to the sport's page I discovered Hubert Heron
and Iohn Fisher have become a professional basketball
team with Guy Brewster as their manager, and have writ-
ten a book on "How to Become a Basketball Team in 10
Easy Lessons or One Hard One." Also read where Fran-
ces Ann Dunlap now stands in for Katherine Hepburn be-
cause they look so much alike. "The Ardmore Story,"
which tells of life in Ardmore, Oklahoma, back in 1941 is
Frances' latest hit. Billy Freeman has become head fore-
man of a brand new ranch a few miles from New York
City. It was christened "El Rio Rancho de La Grande"
and I hear Bill really makes those cows hustle! And
Martha Colvert has been recently appointed President of the
Presidents Club whose members include people who are
President of so many things they have to keep a record of
it! Kenneth Boles made his debut into the Metropolitan
but hasn't sold any insurance, as yet!
After my lunch as I walked through the park I saw David
Hancock plucking the petals off a daisy as he mumbled,
"Earlene Watson--Betty McLean-!?" l-lasn't he made
up his mind yet? Then here came De Maurice Prater with
her happy little "tribe" behind her and stopping by the
skating rink at the far end of the park I recognized its
owner to be Homer "Sonja Henie" Longino. I noticed Earl

Iones putting air in someone's tire and Vernon Stanley, who
always has adorned uniforms, has a filling station of his
own now. And saw Betty Io Scott on the street, but the
crowd was so thick she didn't hear me call to her. I
heard she never became a dancer, having been sidetracked
by love, but is now training her family of seven daughters
to take the place of the "Rockettes."
Charles Coe was teeing off as Ipassed by his miniature golf
course, where for l0c an hour he teaches small children
how to become the world's greatest amateur junior champ-
ions. As I was walking by the Little Church Around the
Corner I saw someone on the steeple. At first I thought a
repair job was being done but then I recognized my old
friend of high school days, Walter Coin, getting an angle
shot ot Mary Ann Taylor's and Tom Loughridge's wed-
ding. Incidentally, this was a romance dating back to high
school days.
As I crossed Fifth Avenue I was accidentally tripped by
Lowell Bransford who was standing in the middle of the
street waving his arms frantically. Don't misunderstand-
he finally realized his ambition and is now the assistant
to the assistant of the third traffic cop of New York City. A
loud scream startled me and I turned to see Randell Long
a block away, carrying on his duty in vain. Randell is
likewise employed.
Saw Mildred Underwood walking down the same street
with a book on her head-she was practicing poise. Mil-
dred was on her way to Conde Nast's studio where she is
gradually taking the place of that famous model Iinx

Glancing up I saw a sign which said "Neysa Son-Music

see Neysa herself making a successful sale of one large
nickelodeon. She still loves music, I see!
I was nearly run down by I. D. Scearce as he sped along
Broadway in his Mistletoe Express Truck. He's running the
whole works now and really didn't mean to slaughter
me. I-Ie was merely fulfilling the slogan: "You say it,
Mistletoe, I can't express myself."
Heard a loud commotion and turned to discover Flora Belle
Ivle and Durwood Pate having it out with Einstein over the
eighth dimension. In case you'd like to know, Flora Belle
and Durwood beat Mr. E. to the Sth, 6th, and 7th,

Baker cmd his touring Model Secretarial Training Corps
were making a personal appearance in this city in a few
days. His secretaries are Mildred Adair, Ruth Iackson,
Ioyce Conger, Margaret Riddle, and Kathryn Leis who
openly admit that their training was tn good 'ole Ardmore

supervision of Elnora McMurry, Maidette Oakman, Mary

the time went on I noticed my old pals Ruth Phillips,

Ruth also demonstrated the art of using the product, which

Mary Cannon, cmd Bertie Edna Allen introduced the first
act with a song and dance number, "OhI You Nasty Man"
ia 1930 hit brought back in modern fashion by Glen El-
more, who always told Mrs. Rawlins he would, someday,
be a songwriter, or writer-overerlll Later I recognized the
beautiful show girls who paraded gorgeous costumes across
the stage to be none other than Reta Ruth Son, Mary lean
Sprekelmeyer, Emogene Dickerson, and Betty Io Vaughn.
Upon leaving l noticed Morris Allen, elaborately dressed
doorman, flirting with Dee Adrian Buchanan, Novella
Cypert, and Dorothy Davis, which was perfectly all right
except that they were part of the show across the street.
Eva Marie flew into a rage but was soon calmed down
when the girls departed, Novella having seen Hubert fa
childhood romance still bloomingl entering their show build-
ing across the street.
Saw Dorothy Engelhardt, Mary Belle Folsom, and Dwatn
Greenwood had opened a new beauty parlor named
"Toupee de la Blondeeeee." They also appeared in medi-
cine shows out in front of their building, which was for the
sole purpose of drawing customers, in which they sold
"Golden Gleme" hair tonic and gave free demonstrations
twice a day.
And, as a branch of this Beauty Shop, Myrle Watts and
Vallie Fern Crosthwait are now running a "Reduce-While
You-Wait CFor-Your-Hair-To-Dye-Or-Dry!J Department." They
ought to know. Best customers are Dorothea Leys and
Leona Yates, who must weigh 98 pounds each, by this
time!! I picked up a paper and read where Marjorie Oll-
phant finally went into the business of offering her popular-
ity secret to every girl in the United States. Her ad read as
follows: "For sale: books telling about my sure-fire line.
Can be easily altered to fit blonde, brunette, or redhead.
Well-used, but still good."
Prominent in Washington, D. C. are Loretta York, Kath-
leen Williams, and Faye Williams, who are the only three
Women senators. Their latest bill is the "WXYZ Affair"
which had to do with the reversal of the present day alpha-
betical seating arrangements. Kathleen, Loretta, and Faye
agree that they never could hear a thing because their
names begin with the last letters of the alphabet.
I stopped in a drug store for a cool drink and looked up
to see that this was Rudolph Hutchins pharmacy I had
heard so much about! Another old friend, Travis Heron
was helping Rudolph, and Eulela lobe was tending to the
feminine interests of the store. Looking over their maga-
zines, I saw an interesting picture which caused me to
read within where the regular 4-H Club had recently
gained an extra H or 2 and now the Club is called 7-H be-

cause George Ellis, who is the newly appointed president
of the organization, has put his progressive program into
use, and you all remember how progressive George was
when he was senior class president '4l. On the back of
another I recognized Louise I.uckey's picture. Louise, liv-
ing up to her name, can now be seen on any magazine
cover advertising "Luckies 2 to l."
Coming out of the drugstore I decided for a bit of relaxa-
tion I would drop in the fashionable "Palace de la Savoir"
and came face to face with Crawford Rogers who, after
working his way up from third usher, now owns the place.
This theatre was recently completely done over by Iuanda
Brady, successful interior decorator. The smiling face of
Mary Cole greeted me from the ticket window and Cleo
Nolls with his new uniform and shiny gold epaulets, showed
me to my seat. To my surprise the picture showing was
"Romeo and Iuliet" starring Estelle Maude Barnett and
Roland Bumpass. Then flashed across the screen was an
advertisement from the Solon of Senor Elmo and Monsieur
Royce, or Elmo Veal and Royce Means who, on account of
Elmo's ability to wave hair perfectly and Royce's beauti-
ful golden locks, have collaborated and are doing a profit-
able business in hair-dressing.
Unable to hear the movie clearly because of q heqged
argument behind me I turned around to see Kirk Dyer,
who is now a successful lawyer in the firm of Dyer, Dyer,
Dyer, and Son, and David Bostwick still debating the
same old issue fincidentally, I never quite understood
what it wasll.
After the movie I strolled along the street and noticed the
Theatre where I had heard Robert "Boogie-Woogie"
Mobley and his Bugle-Woogie Boys oi Co. O, which in-
cludes limmy Collins and his trombone and features the
low-down rhythms of Myrtle Stamps and her typewriter,
express their musical thoughts. Myrtle beats out their eight
to the bar as an excuse to keep time until the group can
afford Fred Stayton's newest price--52.00 a beat! I had a
short conversation with Mr. Mobley and inquired about
some other old friends I hadn't run across, as yet. It
seems that Edwin Ewell, who used to be the leading spirit
of all "Y" dances back in Ardmore in '4l, has retreated
to his secluded cavern, where he leads the peaceful life
of a hermit. Blood brothers of the cause are Charles
Bigbie, Ralph Collins, and lames Crowe, who cheats oc-
casionally by sending up smoke signals to Nancy. This
group is giving Andrew Iackson's "Hermitage" a run for
its money. And still hoping against hope that I-Iedy

Walking out into the street again I noticed tar from the

those all-too-true words were hung: "Abandon hope: all ye
who enter here," or, "This will do until the real thing

tion, this is the restful haunt of such ex-charmers as Mar-
garet Ryan, Elizabeth Merrick, leanne I-licks, and owners
of the Bachelor Girls' Home, Carol Risser and Mary Louise

see my old friends again so I went in and imagine my sur-
prise when Katherine Rainwater checked my hat. I was
still more amazed, however, when Robert McCrory, head
waiter, showed me to my table. The floor show had
already begun and the Hartnitt Sisters had just finished an
acrobatic number as the Love Duet came hurtling toward
me in the midst ot their original version of the La Conga.
Next, in contrast to this modern number, Edona Mae Ful-
lingim and Lencious Courcier did an old-fashioned version
of "Put Your Little Foot."
