Hzggfz Sofzool, Who has Watched with a heartfelt interest the progress of Central High School and its students, Who has given us a publication that has no equal, Who has mothered and Worried over each student with whom she came in contact, And who at all times has placed the interest of Central High School and Central High School students above her personal desires, Tfzzlr volume qfifze 1924 Cbzwazh zlr dedicated. Jr l Tforeworo Q A famous man once said adverse publicity is bet- ter than no publicity at all. 11 Believing this to be true, it has been the purpose of the staff of this book to place within its covers the name and picture of every student enrolled in Central High School. 11 We have tried to make a pictorial history of our school in which frivolity has linked arms with pathos. 11 Forgive us, dear fellows, if we have said anything that might hurt you. In the years yet to be torn from the calendars of man, if this well meant vol- ume should ever be removed from its resting place, we sincerely hope that it will take its reader back to that time during which material for the book was gathered, bringing smiles and tears of many happy days which, once passed, can only be recalled. ESE 1 HISTORY OF CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL URING its career of eighteen years, Central High has occupied five different dwelling places. Its beginning was modest, but it has developed rapidly, thus attaining its present size and importance. A real need for a high school was first felt in the fall of 1905. There was a public school system at the time, and had been since 1898, but taxes were uncertain, and no attempt to organize a high school had yet been made. In response to this demand five freshman subjects were offered. The northeast room of the Jefferson school was used for the class of nineteen pupils who desired to take the course. One teacher was ob- tained who taught four of the subjects, while Mr. Redd, principal, taught the other subject. The five subjects were, algebra, general history, Latin, rhetoric and Zoology. The teacher was Miss Iduma Hughes. The work was organized under a four year system, but students could graduate with three years work. Those who made ninety in their grades or over were exempt from the examination. This room had to be abandoned shortly after however, for the number of students increased rapidly. In the fall of 1906 there were one hundred and twenty pupils enrolled. Then during the summer of 1907 Kendall College was moved to Tulsa, and as the town was growing rapidly the autumn of 1907 found over two hundred students enrolled for high school with six teachers. Consequently it was necessary to move to a larger place, and the Franklin school building was chosen as the place. Splendid school spirit marked the time spent in this place, the girls sold candy and started a school library with the proceeds while the classes set out trees on Arbor Day which still beautify the Franklin grounds. During this third year of high school work, physics, chemistry, American Literature, German, solid geometry, Latin, and English history were offered. Mr. Ira L. Cain was principal at this time having been elected to the position in 1906. During this year there was no room large enough to have an assembly, and as a result a piano was placed in the large hall upstairs in Franklin school, and here the students met once a week to sing. The pleasant school life was not destined to last long however, for in the spring a large crack appeared in the front wall of the Franklin building, and the school was declared unsafe. Thus the high school students found themselves homeless again. The Kendall building was next to house the growing high school. The site had been bought by real estate investors who were tearing the buildings down in order to sell the land. They offered the main administration building to the high school and possession was taken during April. This school structure was three stories high. It had many class rooms, one assembly room, and was situated on twenty acres of ground. The high school passed the year of 1908 and 1909 in this building. During this year, manual training, agriculture, and American history were added to the list of subjects of- fered and the faculty was increased to nine members. Although the real estate men had been willing to let the school use the building, they were nevertheless anxious to sell the land, and early in the year, requested the school board to have the building vacated by June. They did not wait until June how- ever, for long before that month they began laying off blocks and putting in streets. About this same time the school board began planning for the erection of a perman- ent high school building. There was no place known however in which they could have school during the year 1909 and 1910. Selling bonds, settling details, choosing a loca- tion, and doing other things necessary to build the school would take too long to hope to finish in time for that year. It was decided late in the summer to rent the Sawyer and Bostic buildings on South Third street and conduct the school in them. The whole thing was rented for 8225 per month. Thus in October, 1909, after some preparation on the building, the high school began what turned out to be the most unique and interesting phase of all its career. The rooms had been made by putting thin board partitions up which permitted each class to hear the disconnected jumble of the discussions going on in the other classes. There PAGE EIGHT was also a small room for an office, and three more for a study hall on the upper fioor. Two of the most important events that have ever happened to Central High School occurred during the fall of 1909. The first was the organization of a football team which passed through a very successful season, winning four games out of five played. During December of the same year the Scout made its first appearance as a monthly magazine. Jane Rockwood was the editor. The present student body can readily see the extent of the Scout's growth, which has kept apace with that of Central High School. The following spring the second graduating class passed from the portals of the school. Bascom Smith, besides being president of the class has the added distinction of having chosen the Green and White colors which have followed Central High School through victory and defeat since that time. Mr. John T. Helley was the principal. School opened in the new building on Dayton and E streets September 26, 1910 for the winter term. The student body and faculty were overjoyed because of the new building. It was likened unto a palace by those people who had been forced to attend classes in the make-shift rooms of the buildings which had been used up to this time. The first and original building consisted of but half of the present building. The north wing was added some years later. Mr. L. E. Weatherwax was principal of the school and had been since 1909. By virtue of the additional room, new subjects were added to the curriculum. Three more departments were also added, Art, Domestic Science and Physical Education. The Scout prospered under the editorship of Howard Upton. The second football team of Central High School ended the season with five victories and two losses. Miss Ellen Russell formed the first high school orchestra during the school year of 1910. The first play ever to be presented by a school or organization was given. The junior class gave two during the year as entertainments for the seniors. A Proposal Under Difficulties was given during the first of the year and another, Thank Goodness the Table Is Spread, was given before the close of school. A basketball team was also organized this year and the Green and White cohorts were victorious in seven games and were trampled on in but two. In the spring the baseball nine won four and lost one contest. Two debates were held and Central High men proved to the state that they were at last on the map by winning both contests. In the Spring 37 students graduated and for the first time diplomas were presented. The next year, 1911-12, was also a very successful one for Central High. Subjects in the commercial department were offered which included bookkeeping, typewriting and commercial arithmetic. ' The Entre Nous club was organized as a Girls' Literary club. The Scout continued its growth with Rilla Duncan as editor. All the athletic teams enjoyed a comparatively successful season. Work continued in the music, class, and chorus work. The first opera was presented by the chorus, The Pink Parasol. l During the year of 1912 plans for the enlargement of the building were started. The great increase in classes and attendance made this a necessity. The north side of the building was added at a cost of 375,000 Another worthy move was the organization of the Boys' Glee club which took place during the year of 1912-13. The senior class also presented a play, which has been made an annual event since that time. The name of the play this year was Charlie Aunt. The graduating class used for the Hrst time the conventional cap and gown. The football team suffered a series of reverses that were due partly to the schedule entered upon. The debate teams finished victorious for the third straight year. Harold Pemberton was the president of the senior class of 1913. Forty-nine people received diplomas this year, the same number as in 1912. In the autumn of 1913, work was started on the addition to the building. The faculty numbered forty members. The football team was much improved in the fall of '13 and won seven games. The other athletic teams made excellent showings, but the debate teams suffered defeats, due to the illness of two team members. With the coming of spring the fancies of the seniors turned from work to play and on the morning of April 1 appeared at their classes dressed as Hobos. This custom PAGE NINE 3 ...g-1 1: W' W' T has since been followed by each of its successors. The graduating class of '14 was the largest in the history of the school, numbering seventy-two. The year 1914-1915 was an unusually good year in athletics. The basket ball team only lost one game out of fourteen, and better, still, the football team was undefeated, having won eight games. Among other high points of the school's activity at this time were the victories of the debating team, and the presentation of The Nautical Knot. Roy F. Hannum was the principal of the school. Each year it had been the custom to publish a special edition of the Scout at the end of the term. In the spring of 1916 however, it was decided to put out, with a dif- ferent staff, another publication to take the place of the annual edition. It was proposed that the senior class publish it, and that it be called The Chieftain. It was started and has become one of Central High's most cherished traditions. During the fall of 1918 the girls being interested in debating, the Delphic debating society was organized. As for music, the orchestra had increased to twenty-nine mem- bers and the 'tMikado was given by the two glee clubs this year. The following spring, that of 1919, was the high point in the history of the publications of Central High. By the efforts and cooperation of the staff and the students, the Scout returned from Nor- man with the shield for first place. This was also the end of its existence as a monthly paper. It became a weekly from then on, and in the fall Miss Bessie M. I-IuH took charge of the work. The football team of 1919 was unusually successful. Nine games were won, while a post season game was the only one lost. A good basket ball season followed. The base ball team in the spring of the same year had been state champions and the debating team came off victors. In this school year the student body government was organized and put into use by Mr. C. K. Reiff who was principal. Also the number of faculty had been gradually increased year by year, and at this time consisted of sixty persons. The senior class roll included eighty-seven graduates. The football team in 1920 again won nine games and tied one. The debating this year was not quite so successful, although the basket ball and baseball teams had fairly good seasons. The advisory system was introduced into the school. This has become one of the most important of Central High's institutions. This year was also marked by a change in the English courses, one of the changes being that Journalism was made one of the English subjects. Two of Central High's clubs came into existence in 1920. One was the Stagecraft, and the other was the Mirror Club. The Mirror Club really sprang from the older Dramatic Club, in the fall. Both clubs have continued to develop and are thoroughly established parts of Central High. In the following fall, in 1921, the football team lost two games out of nine. The basketball team was not extra, and the base ball team only fair. After an unusually successful year, a school will take a set-back and this is what Central High seemed to have done in athletics. In the spring of 1922, the Junior college was organized in order that students might have the Freshman year of college at home, and thus save part of the expense of getting a college education. English, history, and mathematics were the subjects taught. Also in the same spring, the Scout won at Norman, The Green and White Book was published, and one hundred and forty-six seniors graduated in a class of which Ralph Britton was Sponsor. In the following fall the football team started the season by losing. Then came 'iBig Bill Rennie who whipped the team into shape and caused them to have a success- ful season after all. In the spring, that of 1923, the list of graduates was the largest that it has ever been-two hundred. Britt was sponsor again, and Lawrence McAllister was president. The following autumn found the football material much lighter than usual. By the eH'orts of the coaches, however, a good team was formed. At first all Went well, but toward the last misfortune fell upon them, and they lost three games. Not long after this, Central High suffered a great loss. Ralph Britton was offered a place in California, and left just before Christmas. His never failing good humor, and friendliness had made everyone his friend, and in turn he was friend to everyone else. Thus we draw up to the present. The Central High of today is much different from that struggling school which originated eighteen years ago.

Katherine Rupert, who played the part of Dulcy , captivated the entire audience with her natural simplicity and the ease with which she handled her part. Neville Slagter, as Gordon Smith, the well meaning husband of the light headed Dulcy, handled his part extremely well and was supported admirably by the entire cast. Dulcy is a young married woman who tries to help her husband in business by in- viting the Mr. and Mrs. Forbes and their daughter Angela for the week-end. She also invites several other prominent people, including Vincent Leach, a scenarist, Schuyler Van Dyck, a dreamer, and William Parker, her brother, who is very much in love with Angela. A Mr. Sterrett also comes to the party to see Mr. Forbes. He is another young man who is in love with Angela. During the evening Dulcy succeeds in practically ruining her husband's business interests, starting Angela and Leach out on an elopement, and causing a quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Forbes. While this is going on Henry, the butler, who is an ex-convict, has stolen Angela's pearl necklace, and Van Dyck has promised to finance Smith in setting up a business to rival that of Mr. Forbes. But in the final scene every thing is straightened out. Henry returns the necklace. Mr. Patterson has come to claim 'Van Dyck, who is crazy and imagines he is a multi- millionaire. Angela marries Bill, Mr. and Mrs. Forbes make up, and Dulcy and Gordon are happy. A PAGE SIXTY FIVE , WW.. . - V Baker Pickerell Overbaugh BULBUL RINCESS BULBUL, which was presented by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs of - - Central High School May the 2nd, was a great success. In the opening scene Princess Bulbul is to marry Prince Caspian, a man she has never seen, at the wish of her father, King Iamit. A perfume peddler appears and wins the love of the princess and she decides to marry him rather than the unseen prince, whom she is to meet at the wedding. But when the time for the wedding arrives she discovers that the peddler is the Prince. Everything ends happily in a triple wedding of King Iamit and Ida, Alain and Lilla and the Prince and the Princess.

V Y lilly' . W ith the Rennie pr0duCti0nS, 21 2 championship or an all victorious - team is not as great an achievement as the production of robust, clean- minded boys who don the colors of Central High School for the love of the game. Such a team represented us in 1923. Although the boys met with several defeats, by an overwhelming score, the boys who earned their M at the sport demand the respect of the Whole community for having fought hard and fought square throughout the entire season. Paul Ward, end and quarterback, was elected to captain the Roughers for 1924. ' PAGE SE E T WA1.'rE1c VANDIVER C IIARLICY GOBIN TAL-Km., 'l'.u'KI.l-1 0yVEN Blslfgp PAVI.

Hinson, who is a member of the Junior class, played guard on the basketball team. He succeeds Paul Ward as captain. Ward will also return for another year of basketball at Central High. This year Muskogee played a five man defense game. Cole and Hinson were always given the two best scorers,of the opponents. The men that Hinson guarded during the season scored but seven field goals, while Cole's forward scored 19 field goals. For Hinson this is an average of 2 5 ,,f' 7 points a game. Cole was standing guard while Hinson was running guard. Muskogee won the championship of the seventh district this year for the first time in four years. The team of 1920, captained by Leroy Deck, copped the district cup by defeating Stigler and Checotah in the finals. It was also decided that Muskogee would enter the final elimination contests at Norman, and after winning a loosely played game from Ceiling, were nosed out by Hollister before reaching the semi-finals.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY ENTRAL High School was admitted to the National Honor Society in 1922 and ' since that time the graduating students with the highest grade average have been admitted to membership in the society. The larger high schools throughout the United States are members of the National Honor Society and the graduate members are recognized in all parts of the country. This year a popularity contest was held with the ten girls making the Honor Society as contestants. Irene Croom was adjudged the most popular and talented girl chosen from the society, with Charlie Lou Pittman, Margaret Parker and Helene Tighe following g Margaret and Helene tied for third place.

L r PAGE NINETY-FOUR L- 1-1 N LEFQ5 -J' , A ntl SERVICE CLUB ILLING a long felt void in the student life of Central High School, the M Service club was welcomed by those students of the school who were not able to earn a letter in athletics, but who had rendered a meritorious service to the school. After several years of planning, the project was placed before the Student Council for the first time last fall. A constitution was drawn up and ratified by the House of Representatives during the latter part of the first semester. It was voted that all students who made debate teams, members of the student council, athletic letter men, publication editors, and Norman individual representatives would automatically become members of the Club. Other services were awarded points, depending upon the magnitude of the service rendered. An emblem of a green outlined Old English HM on a white background is to be awarded to each student fulfilling the point requirements of the Club. Any student who has received an M and who at any time fails in one or more subjects will be required to return the insignia to the Student Council, the controlling body of the club, until the grade has been brought up to passing. This plan has been tried with much success in many of the larger cities of the West and North. It provides an incentive for the students in working for debate and other scholastic endeavors for which heretofore there has been no award other than the honor at the time the service was rendered.

Each year the Forum has, despite the competition of other clubs and the student body at large, managed to place Forumites on the debate team. The number placed each year has varied, but never has the club failed to account for itself in the forensic field. In other fields the Forum has always managed to come into the front rank. During the past year the greater part of the executive positions open in the school were held by members of the Forum, including the president of the Student body and Senior class and the editors of both publications, The Chieftain and 'The Scout . The loss of Ralph Britton, who has served in the capacity of faculty sponsor of the club for a number of years, was a severe blow. However, Darrell Shinn, who was chosen by the club to succeed Britton, has filled his place remarkably well and is ex- pected to hold the position for another year. This last year the Forum adopted a pledge system of electing new men into the club. All prospective members are voted into the club on a probation of six weeks, after which they are voted on again.

The meetings are carried on in Spanish so far as possible, thus making practical the knowledge learned in the class room. The programs consist of stories, songs, games, pronunciation matches, etc. Once each year the club has an open meeting to which everyone interested is invited. This year a Spanish play, t'La Muela del Juicio, was presented in an assembly for Spanish students only. One of the features of the club is the awarding of certificates at the end of the year to those who have done exceptional work and have taken an active interest in all phases of the club work. A student must be making a grade of C in Spanish in order to belong to the club.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED EIGHT SENATE HE SENATE was organized primarily for the promotion of debate, but has always been instrumental in the strengthening of school spirit, and the better- ment of the school in general. The club has been one of the most active school organizations since its establishment in 1919, when it was started under the direction of R. B. Thomas. The club consists always of not more than thirty boys, who are voted in with or without petition. The Senate this year placed three of its men on the school debate team of six. The Senate again followed its custom of decorating the goal posts during football season, which has been done by the club every year since its organization. On February 23 the Senate entertained the Gunaikes club with a novel party. In Hot Tamala Land, a two act musical comedy, was presented in the high school auditorium on April 4, as the Fourth Annual Senate Vodevil, and made one of the hits of the school year. P. A. XVallace was faculty sponsor until the date of his leaving, April 1, when W. H. Mothersead became the club adviser. Will Amelia Sterns was the student sponsor of the organization.

Books and pencils were thrown - about the dust covered rooms with utter abandon. It was plain to see that years had passed since this sanctum of learning had last been occupied. A row of desks was covered with cobwebs, and dust, and hornets had nested in the corners of the old clock which had eased the hearts of hundreds of anxious children by chiming the dis- missal hour. I stood for some time in this old room, living again the days of my childhood, recalling traditions and memories that were woven around these same old desks and rooms. From room to room I passed, every stop making my heart grow heavier and heavier or lighter, depending upon the memories recalled. I wandered through the old audi- torium, the gymnasium- and the athletic dressing rooms, the places where battles had been refought time and time again. Stepping into the former front ofiice, I found that the high counter had sagged and rotted away, a portion of the ceiling had caved in, allowing a ray of sun light to make its way through a screen of dust and cob webs. A bulky roll of paper protruded from a drawer of a ramshackled old desk near a window. Curiosity prompted me to pick it up and scan the faded writing it contained. It was so familiar that names of class mates fairly jumped irom the dead sheet. It was the last will and testament of the class of 1924.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN ZQLAD gh, , ,4zra, THE BLACK CAT fBy Robert Butzb S Arthur Harrington walked homeward through the- darkness, his mind roamed - back over the events of the past evening. The troubled frown on his face showed that these thoughts were far from pleasing, for again he had fallen out with his best friend over a matter that, in his own mind, had no grounds for argument. The facts in the case were these. Arthur Harrington was a dramatic critc on one of the large metropolitan newspapers. He was acknowledged to be one of the foremost in the country. That evening he had witnessed a mystery play Written anc presented by his friend, Charles Norton. He had been displeased with it. This opinion he had expressed to Norton himself and had given his reasons. Harrrington did -not believe that the play had any dramatic value, the plot was impossible, it was not true to life, and was an insult to the art of acting. He had also stated to Norton that it was his intention to follow out these ideas in his criticism of the melodrama for the following Sunday's paper. In vain had Norton attempted to compel his friend to see some merit in the play. In vain he had tried to show the possibility of the plot to Harrington. And vain were his efforts to dissuade the stubborn critic from his determination practically to kill the play by his condemnation of it. The upshot of it all was that they had parted in bad blood. And the quarrel was not to Harrington's liking. . These thoughts rankled in I-larrington's tired brain as he turned into the walk leading through the grounds of his home to the mansion itself. A gloomy and for- bidding place was this home of Harrington's. It was a great three-story stone edifice with many wings and inside, many passageways. The large, oaken door that marked the entrance served still further to impign upon consciousness the impression of se- clusion and aloofness. The place had been built and willed to Harrington by an eccentric grandfather, who had at one time been extremely rich. Rumors of hidden treasures in the building were still alioat, and many regarded the abode as haunted. And -true enough, the realistic outline of the gables and chimneys against the moon-lighted clouds did give a rather gruesome aspect. Harrington himself had never taken the trouble to notice anything peculiar about the place and he took no stock in the wild talk concerning riches concealed there. Home to him was mainly a place to spend the night and to eat his breakfast. His only companion was the old butler, Jenkins, who had been with him for a number of years. So on this night, as usual, he turned in early and slept soundly till morning. At breakfast the old butler complained of noises he had heard in the night which had kept him from sleep, to which Harrington replied that it had probably been the wind blowing through an open window. He then departed for the newspaper oiiice where he put in a hard day's work. He labored late, so it was about half-past ten o'clock when he turned in at the gate of his residence that evening. A number of extraordinary things happened as he made his way up the 'walk to his home. First, just as he stepped inside the gate, his eyes almost unconsciously lifted themselves to one of the gable windows on the third floor. There on the pane he beheld a circle of light, such as is generally made by an electric searchlight, which held steady for an instant and then blinked out. What did this mean? He himself never visited the third Hoor and het could imagine no reason for Jenkins being up there at this hour of the night. The critic's curiosity aroused, he hurried 'toward the door. As he neared the steps, his foot came in contact with something that caused him nearly to fall. Lighting a match, he bent over to examine the object which had impeded him, and there, lying prone on the walk, was a black cat, stark dead. With a start, Harrington straightened and almost ran up the steps. PAGE ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN Now what is there about a black cat that causes human beings to fear? What- ever it is, it seems to bring man's primitive superstition to the top. The effect on Harrington was not as it would be on a person of a more fearful nature, but as. he entered the door, he found his mind dwelling upon thoughts strange to his fearless nature and his body was shaking with nervous excitement. For the first time he was noticing the ghostly atmosphere that surrounded the house. He thought of the many nights he had slept there by himself, and he shuddered. He hesitated for a moment on the threshold and then stepped forward. Behind him the door suddenly slammed to with a crash that almost shocked him out of his senses. He flew to the door and attempted to open it, but it would not budge an inch. Collecting himself little by little, Harrington began to think how silly his actions had been. Making a mental note to call a carpenter in the morning, he braced himself and stepped forward into the large hall. From the hallway he turned into the library. He stopped a moment to consider. A few chapters of a good book and a good cigar ought to go a long way toward steadying his jumping nerves. Suiting his actions to his thoughts, he rang for Jenkins, picked up a late novel, drew up his smoking stand, and seated himself in an easy chair by the floor lamp which was the only light in the room. By this time he had completely forgotten the incident of the light in the upstairs room. A minute passed. Then he heard the shuiliing step of old Jenkins slowly making his way down the passageway leading to the library. Suddenly the footsteps ceased, a scudiing sound came from the passageway, and Harrington heard a muffled cry of Help! A sound as of a door closing was next heard and then all was still. Har- rington sat for a moment as if petrified, then he leaped to his feet and ran full speed across the room to the doorway. One glance showed him that the long paneled pas- sageway was empty. There was not time for pondering here. He knew that poor old Jenkins must have been dragged through a secret doorway, many of which were said to exist in the house. But why? By whom? As he moved to investigate the panels, a feeling that he was being watched made him jerk around. He moved just in time to see a head snatched back from the doorway on the other side of the library. Harrington's mind was working like lightning by this time. Swiftly he walked over to the floor lamp and switched off the light. Whatever agency was carrying on this devilish piece of business, he had no intention of letting anyone grab him and pull him through a trap-door. Silence prevailed in the pitch darkness for a few minutes, then Harrington heard the sound of quick footsteps crossing the room and entering the entrance to the passageway. Only after the footsteps had died away did Harrington move. In the hall he stopped to listen. From distant parts of the house he could hear sounds as if steel were pounding against stone. Then light dawned upon him. The villians were after the treasure supposed to be in the house. Well, he would show them. Quietly he ascended the stairs to the second iioor. Hearing a noise in one of the rooms to the right, he turned in that direction. As he drew nearer the doorway he co'uld hear a man cursing and the sound of falling furniture. Then a pistol shot re- sounded through the hallways of the house and a man, strange in appearance, stagger- ed out into the hallway with blood streaming from his head. He fell in a heap before the amazed and terrified Harrington. This was too much! Although he had lived one of the most peaceful of lives, the blood of some fighting ancestor must still have been flowing in his veins, for he tore off his coat and savagely stepped into the room ready for any assailant that might offer himself. He was not attacked, but the sight which met his eyes left him so stunned that he would be unable to offer resistance to any antagonist that might appear. There, leaning PAGE CNE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN . h .1 ,Q-n.1.. I against the wall on the opposite side of the room, was a beautiful young woman, with an expression of horror on her face, and a smoking revolver in her hand. As she lifted her eyes and saw Harrington she fainted, and he ran to her asistance. She revived rather slowly, and While waiting Harrington's wonderment in the strange course the events of his life had turned, during one evening, increased more and more. Ordinar- ily he would have been asleep long ago, but already tonight his butler had been kid- napped, a man had been murdered in his house, and he was now holding the beautiful murderess in his arms. With a start the woman sat up and looked around her in a bewildered way. When she saw Harrnigton she let her eyes rest on him for a while and then began 'to speak. You are the owner of the house, are you not? Then at his nod, I will explain this all to you, and then I hope you will help me. My father is the leader of the famous Trenton gang. For over a year he has been studying this house in the hope of finding a treasure. Tonight he decided to strike. As we entered we ran into that gang of Gallagher's, father's most bitter enemy. We arbitrated and decided each to go our way, trusting to luck. I came to the second floor alone. That man you saw in the hall followed me up. He belongs to the Gallager's gang. In protecting myself from him I shot him. That is all, but I want to get away. Will you help me to get out of the house? Different emotions struggled for supremacy in Harrington for a moment. First fear had to be put down, then doubt, but finally the courage came to the 'top and caused him to assent. Taking the woman by the arm, he lead her through the hall and they started down the steps. It was so dark that Harrington could see nothing in front of him and the responsibility he felt for the woman made him doubly careful in choosing his steps. At the foot of the stairs he hesitated, but feeling the pressure of the woman's hand inhis, went on. He reached what he thought to be the middle of the hall, then turned toward the faint blue spot where the moonlight came in the door. As he did so, he felt aiheavy hand grasp his arm, and heard the woman scream. The lights were switched on and he found himself surrounded by the most villainous group of men he had ever seen or could imagine. Lunging wildly, he tore himself from his captor and ran for the stairsf His foot slipped onthe first step and he went down, his head crashing against the hannisters. Then everything was dark ........ T. . He awoke with the smell of cigar smoke in his nostrils. Sitting up, his head almost splitting with pain from the effort, he discovered his friend, Charles Norton, seated by his bed quietly smoking and exmaining him with a quizzical look in his eyes. As Har- rington opened his mouth to speak, Norton interrupted him with, No, no, old man, you'd better keep quiet while I explain it to you. I'm sorry it had to end as it did, but maybe the accident has softened somewhat that hard head of yours. The story in short is this, he continued. I merely brought a few of my actors up here to prove to you that such unusual things can happen to a man. I hope it has changed your opinion of my play. That's all. Think it over. At first Harrington's surprise was not equal to his anger. But he checked himself and refrained from laying violent hands on Norton, and thought it over. The result was that he hopped out of bed and started across the room. ' Here, shouted Norton, where are you going? I must phone in and kill my criticism on that play, smilingly replied the critic, Pm going to rewrite it. PAGE ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN A ...Y 'iw' CLASS HISTORY HE little town of Gore had turned out bodily for the opening of the recently constructed bridge. The band, enthroned under a big oak, was bravely endeav- oring to play in spite of the intense heat. Wilbur Drake, town mayor, cleared his throat before striking his customary Napoleonic posture. Feller citizens, we air gathered yere on this occasion to celebrate the opening of this magnamerous, collyosal, stupendious construction. This strong, well built- at this inopportune moment a board, none too strong, gave way under the weight of the mayor, who, quite unexpectedly and somewhat unceremoniously disappeared from the astonished view of the assembled townspeople. Splash!-Blub, blub, the air bubbles rose as Drake descended to the muddy bottom of the Arkansas. Thrashing about, his hand came in contact with a round object that recalled mem- ories of pre-prohibition days. Grasped in his hand as he rose to the surface, was a corked bottle, containing a document, which proved to be a history of the class of '24 of Central High School. Before the wondering crowd he read the following: Now most class histories begin with how green and scared the senior class was when it entered school as freshmen, but the editor insists that this one be original. I'll start the ball rolling by telling the truth. 'Tis true a fresher bunch of freshies never entered Central than the class of '24, from Bob Anderson on up. Having been initiated into high school routine in the eighth grade we felt no awe, in fact, we looked on the seniors as a specie of humans given to arrogant airs and bossing. However, true to form, we rather envied them. We were the first to stage a sophomore play, When A Feller Needs a Friend, featuring a floating cast. The year passed without many of us breaking into the limelight. That summer the class sustained a great loss when Clarence Lynn, sophomore president, was killed in an accident. Junior year. We literally preened our feathers in the thought of being upper classmen. The year started with a bang when we chose Ed Burks as president. The junior play, The Charm School, was given December 7 and 8. We even became so presumptious as to beat the seniors in the cross country run. John McManus was the hero of the hour. On April lst we thought longingly of the time when we would hobo and startle the school with our unique costumes. Senior year! Adna Cole, Allen Allinder, Harold Redding, John Gore and Albert Overton starred in football. The Fort Smith vs. Muskogee was a never to be forgotten game. There are some traces of mud and slush still left from our Tulsa trip on Thanksgiving. At the beginning of the second semester we joyously realized that we could be exempt on a HC . After some discussion, we chose a seal ring, hoping it would be adopted as a standard. Hobo day rolled around. Jim Henley and Fletcher Baker took the house down. The senior play, Dulcy, starring Katherine Rupert and Neville Slagter, was a huge success. Then came the graduation exercises. As we walked across the stage to receive our diplomas we endeavored to present a very dignified front, but our knees were just a little wobbly and it gave us a sickening feeling to look out at the sea of faces and realize that they were watching our every move. Last but not least-how handy that little phrase is-was the junior-senior banquet and dance. Under all the gaiety it was just a bit sad because we felt it would be the last time the old gang would all be together under the same roof. The mayor sniilied and shed a tear. So that's why there Wasn't a class history in the Chieftain-it was lost here. PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY ' V' ,:'QEfj,.x1lu8 1923-24 CALENDAR Sept. 10-M. Doors of C. H. S. swing open to 1700 students.

This was one of many startling revelations made in today's trial. The attack made on the grafters was led by Allen Allinder, chairman of the committee. Senators Harold Redding, Tom Hardin, and Raymond Finley, were also found to be involved by the estimony of Howard Bassham, editor of the New York Tribune, and his news director, Charlie Lou Pittman.

Hough, film star who has figured in many sen- sational divorce cases, has come into the lime light again by applying for a divorce in Judge Bumgarner's c o u r t, from her fifth husband, Wil- liam Hough. Her maiden name was Claudia Robertson. The first victim to fall into her matrimonial clutches was Lawrence McAlister. Follow- ing in quick succession were Albert Overton, John Mc- Manus, and Reed McAlister. Each stayed with her less than a year before being cast off. Though only twenty-four years of age she holds the di- vorce record. Miss Robertson claims di- vorce on grounds of cruelty. She says her husband stuck her with a pin while he was endeavoring to fasten her dress. PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE Page Two THE OUT-OF-TUNE May 15, 1939.

We, who have watched the passing of the telephone and the automobile, the advent of the radio and the airplane, have at last been called to arms! The radio is the greatest menace that civilization has ever had to contend with. Our fathers have spoken of the yellow peril and the flu but it is up to us to cope with radio. Millions of the good people of Muskogee are contaminat- ed by the mere use of the radio. Thousands of hours of sleep are lost by the bug who still has a desire to listen in on the conversation of his neighbor. To arms, fellow radio suf- ferers! To arms! PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-SIX MELVIN RACES TO VICTORY ' IN HER YO-CHUM SPECIAL 'P LET'S BE SPORTS. Last night the attention of the editor was called to an accident which occurred just over Forty-fifth and Okmul- gee, when James Booth, driv- ing his two-seater, collided with Donald Harder's Carry- all. Booth was alone at the time of the accident, while Harder and his entire family were aboard the Carryall. The accident, so it seems, was un- avoidable. Harder resorted to very unsportsmanlike tac- tics when he made a threat to discontinue Booth's inter- national radio service. Let's watch our planes and tempers. Accidents will be accidents. l.,24..i.

LESTER HARDIN COMES IN A CLOSE SECOND Indianapolis, Ind.-Maxine Melvin, woman race-track driver, driving a Yochum Special, swept down the track to victory today in the International Auto Races. Lester Hardin, in his home made car, followed close be- hind. Bob Clark was third. The race was thrilling from the start to the finish. Miss Melvin narrowly escaped death when her car skidded and turned over during the 40th lap. Using marvelous presence of mind, Miss Melvin ducked her head while the car kept on turning and final- ly righted itself. Clark hit a bad bump on the 350th lap and was jolted from his car. Being a form- er cross-country runner he started after the car. Hardin had the same kind of an accident in the 421st lap, but instead of running after the car, he waited for it to come around and then jumped in. l'24--i SHIRT TAIL KING BREAKS GAMBLERS Monte Carlo was thrown into an instant panic late last night when it was learned that Milton McDonald, a Kansas City laundryman, had broken the bank. McDonald, who started out with a capital of 3510, attrib- utes his success to a method upon which he has been work- ing for the past twelve years. Herbert Gregory, bank president, offered McDonald 5B100,000,000 for his method. McDonald refused, saying that he was not going into the poultry business. Poultry business! ex- claimed Gregory, insulted. Certainly, I have no use for such chicken feed, Mc- Donald replied. - 9.1273 May 15, 1939.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT AMERICANS WIN OLYMPIC GAMES Former Centralists Annex Prizes. Two former Central High School athletes, Marcus Cur- nutt and Wallace Barry, have gained national recognition this year by their showing in the Olympic Games. Curnutt annexed the booby prize in every event, while Barry came out far ahead of his oppon- ents in the Htiddledywinksn tournament. Carnutt has the remark- able record of having won booby prizes in every event he has entered. His slogan is, If you can't place first, place last. Barry, remembered in Mus- kogee as a husky athlete, at- tributes his success with the wary chips to his training rules. He lives on a rigid diet of jello and whipped cream, with an occasional meal of ice cream and cake. He keeps his fingers strong by sewing and knitting two hours a day.

COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. 326 soUTH FOURTH STREET HOBO DAY FTER watching with envy the antics of the Senior Class on Hobo Day for three long years, it was but natural that we, the class of '24, looked forward to Tues- day, April 1, with great anticipation. Unjust criticism by a few well meaning citizens threatened to deprive us of this day of pleasure but the broad minded administration felt that we deserved the day of fun making. March ended its career in the year of 1924 with a combination of the elements which imbibed fear into the hearts of every Senior that April would start off with the characteristics of March. But happily, the morning dawned, a little cloudy 'tis true, but old Sol was smiling behind a bank of fast moving clouds. It was at last All Fools' day, and it may be said, each of the 152 Central High Seniors had little trouble in making complete fools of themselves. Bedecked in costumes that would have put the most trifling of that large band of real weary willies to shame, the senior class of '24 started the day. An assembly, in which the Seniors displayed their costumes to a large delegation of parents and former graduates, started the frivolities. A mock teachers' meeting and a vaudeville act were voted the best of the day. A picnic at the old pickle eating grounds at Honor Heights lasted well into the afternoon. Mr. Reiif and his family and mother were guests of honor as well as our beloved Jerry Sullivan and Mrs. Sullivan. Miss Grigsby also was on hand to help us consume the stacks of fried chicken and gallons of real ice cream. A dance at Leighton Hall followed, while a number of the vainer members of our Class made a special trip home to change clothes for the hop . All in all it was a grand old day, and it ended with the entire class welcoming the enfolding arms of Morpheus. T. E. Bassham L. L.

HILL, Manager P O H F THE MAN OF STEEL By Edward Burks OHN BILLINGS, balance sheet in hand, glanced over his shoulder at the clock, noted the hour, which was 4 p. m., and shuflied slowly toward a frosted door bearing the words, Private in ominous black letters which fairly jumped at Billings from their cold base. It was the portal of the mighty, the den of the lion, the oflice of old Frank Hay, hated wherever wheat was grown and feared for his bearish tactics on the market. He was the man who had squelched the life and ambitions of thousands, who had ruined smaller moneyed interests with a great insatiable relish. As Billings, bookkkeeper and general yes man of the Hay firm, rapped timidly on the frosted glass as if his actions defied the warning the door bore, he was merely repeating an act that had become a habit through years of forced observance. The hoarse cracked voice of Hay himself boomed a snarling, wolfish growl that Billings interpreted as Come in, and he sidled fearfully through the half opened door. Well, what it is? the Man of Wheat queried. Billings quaked and managed to give the half-assertion, The balance sheet, sir. His nervous, vein-marked, sallow hand laid a large sheet, covered with a maze of well planned figures relative to the market and Hay and Company's actions in wheat, on the glazed surface of the large desk. What does this mean ? Hay rumbled, a two thousand dollar deficit on last month's exports? And the Man of Wheat turned upon his faithful employee with a gutteral, That will dog you may go. Billings shuffied noiselessly toward the door, but as his long fingers closed over the door knob, he was halted by Hay. Cut all salaries ten percent and you take the same cut for the coming month, and without further ado or explanation, Hay resumed his earnest and thorough study of the balance sheet. Once again in the outer office, Billings looked helplessly about him. His wandering glance rested for a moment upon his fellow workers, yet unmindful of the salary cut, then upon rows of figures representing the accumulation of thousands of dollars for the firm of Hay and Company, and finally the actions of hundreds of bin employees who were working like ants in their feverish haste to load the vessel now in dock with its tons of wheat which were destined for a European market. Wheat! Power! Millions! and if such an action were even possible, Billings re- lapsed into a secret and long cherished dream of power and wealth. He was securely barricaded behind the frosted door of Frank Hay and, yes, it was Hay himself who was grovelling at his, Billings' feet, with a balance sheet showing huge profits. Construction of an additional warehouse had started and the sharp ear-piercing ex- haust of the stone crusher brought Billings back from his land of make-believe. The stone crusher still occupied Billings' mind. He watched its giant maw open and swallow the huge rough stone, created by God, and thought of Frank Hay. A large hopper of stones was fed into the crusher, and after playing with them, tossing them around and even finding great exultation in its act, the crusher turned them out a mass of broken, spiritless nothing. Yes, he thought more than ever of Frank Hay. He thought of the numerous faithful, but never trusted, who were cast out into the world, a mere nothing, after having dedicated a life time of service to the beck and call of Frank Hay. His bony hands clenched and he walked to his cubby hole desk to write out the notice of the salary cuts. Why should a salary cut hurt Billings? It would mean little to him, for he was responsible to no one but himself, and a tidy sum, that in- creased month by month, reposed in the vaults of the National Commerce awaiting his need. No thought of food entered his mind as he sallied forth into the street, after having posted the order of Frank Hay. He had made the last rounds of the office to assure him- PAGE ONE HUNDRED FORTY SEVEN self that all was in readiness for the night. Food for the body was a mere triiie com- pared with food for the mind and spiritual self, and it was to such a feast that Billings was starting. Grimacing, he fought his way through the surging crowd of clerks, like himself, who had but recently slipped the leash of labor and were on their way to homes and wives, or were hurrying to keep an engagement with a sweetheart who also worked in the wholesale district. Billings stopped for a minute, back to the raging, piercing wind, and watched the faces that passed him. Happy, care-free faces, faces lined with sorrow and worry, shoulders stooped and faces lined by burdens too heavy for a human being to bear. Out of the multitude, he was but one. Thanking God for his new found and recently asserted freedom, Billings hastened on. He jostled good naturedly with his fellow pedestrians, although inwardly he hated them and ridiculed them for their meekness. At last the air no longer reeked of perfumes and pomadesg the crowd had thinned greatly, and Billings stepped into a trolley safety to wait for his car. The car whirred rapidly through the residential section of the city, and Billings became more and more pleased with himself. He was secretely elated and his shaggy, heavy grayish eyebrows failed to hide his elation. Billings was home! After having alighted at the bottom of a rugged hill, Billings drew a deep breath and prepared for the long hard climb that would reward him for the day's labor and more than repay him for the short climb. The entire city lay below him, irridescent in winking lights, every hue known to man. Soft and pleasing to the eye, and blended in a miraculous manner by the low hung mist which enveloped the business district. As it lay, shimmering below him, huge and serene with unlimited power and wealth, the city was his God. Man had aided Nature in giving to Billings a masterpiece that money could not buy for any one. To Billings the city had a soul, especially when he was allowed to view it from his own point of vantage. It lived and breathed and moved with every whim of man and even seemed to talk to him in a quiet and peculiar way of its own. By day it was a grind. He hated every filthy inch of it and most of all, the sordid offices of Hay and Company. He hated its miles of shiny steel tracks, its ribbons of paved streets, and its thousands of wires that bound it into a whole. But day had vanished and all was wrapt in the soft folds of night. The city as it appeared after the sun had vanished was the one and only one love of John Billings. It was a living Whistler by night and a dirty, evil smelling sweat shop by day. The trip back to town caused the mask of satisfaction to drop, and once more Billings was the stoop shouldered, soft willed yes man of the Frank Hay and Com- pany ofiices. He was once again the slaving employee who had received a fifteen percent wage reduction after thirty years' of faithful service. Sunday came and went. To Billings the day was unnecessary. The sun made a visit and look at his secret God impossible. The ofiices were closed and the day always hung heavily on his hands. Why should one rest? he asked himself. And as if in keeping with his frame of mind, Billings never emerged from his dark, drab rooms on Sunday. Yes, it was indeed a day wasted. But the night! The night was so different! Billings could again find peace and solace while gazing in silent rapture at the laughing, dancing lights of the city. After a night of fitful rest, Billings was up and on his way to his work. A full week of drudgery and glory lay ahead of Billings. For, although the days held nothing but the hardest of work for him, did not the sun set at night? And with the thought of another seance with his beloved, Billings was sustained and bouyed for another day. Nothing of consequence happened that morning, for fate, as if wanting to spring her surprise all at once, shrouded the working of Billings' heart from his mind, and Billings went about his usual morning duties. During the lunch hour, as was his habit on Mondays, Billings snatched a hurried lunch at a self server and then made for the bank-a big bank, which was probably the reason that Billings cached his savings at that institution. He was fearful lest a failure would wipe out his savings. fContinued on page 1515 PAGE ONE HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT FRANKLIN MARKET AND GROCERY 175 - PHONES -- 1058 FRESH MEATS DRESSED POULTRY H. C.

Hope Lumber Co. ,.4--.-, - THE MAN OF STEEL fContinued from page 1483 After waiting several precious seconds awaiting his turn at the window, he finally shoved his shabby and much worn pass book, accompanied by a small sheaf of bills, through the open window of the teller. He received a curt nod of recognition from the clerk who entered the amount and passed the book back to Billings. Billings, isn't it about time that you quit slaving and started spending some of your money? was the idle, jesting question of the clerk as Billings hesitantly turned from the window. Guess you might be right, was the rejoiner of Billings, as he edged further away from the window, only to be snatched from a self imposed lethargy by the figure and appearance of a man standing directly in front of him. Billings was at first startled at the sight of the man who was so strange, yet so familiar. His clothes were shiny and thin and the small hat bordered on shabbiness. Where had he seen that hat before ? Neither of the men spoke or moved, both being momentarily stunned by the sight of the other. At last Billings moved, the sunken jawed, ashen cheeked individual in front of him moved also. It was strange to Billings, and as he reached in his pocket for a handkerchief, his adversary did likewise. Ah, a good joke, Billings thought to himself, for he had been standing in front of a long mirror in the lobby of the bank. So the man, so shabby, so brow beaten, who had confronted him, was not another person, but merely an image of himself. With a shrug of his bent shoulders and tossing his head in the air, Billings walked out of the bank with a firm tread and a resolve to change the order of things. He hesitated for a moment on the sidewalk in front of the bank, and then lifted a beckoning hand to a waiting taxi, To Hay and company, he commanded in a firm voice. It was a new voice, and it came from a new man. Upon alighting at the ofiices of Hay and Company, he bade the cab to wait, and actually stalked up the steps that his shuffling feet had sliffered along for years. The door at the head of the stairs offered little opposition to a firm turn of the knob and a push, gained from the well directed blow of a well blacked boot. His fellow clerks raised their heads in amazement, and as he continued his march up to the very door of the sanctum of old Frank Hay, their wonder and astonishment grew by leaps and bounds. Was he crazy? Had some new dish at luncheon gone to his head? and many questions of like nature rushed through their minds. Billings paused upon actually reaching The Door and his arm half raised as if in an involuntary attempt to observe the custom of many years. Yet he had decided to change things, and grasping the knob, he ushered himself unannounced into the presence of Frank Hay. Hay was surprised and shocked at this outburst of his oldest and hardest working employee. Was he crazy? I have quit! I am through! I tell you I am through! And before Hay could recover himself fully from his shock and surprise, Billings was gone-gone on the first lap of a journey to which there was no return. Well, let him go, and Frank Hay laughed as he snarled for young Brown to be brought to him. Brown was a deserving lad and had been brow beaten to that stage where he had no spirit. Yes, Brown could well handle old Billings' place. Billings left his old position with a light heart and stepping into the waiting taxi, he was driven to a small but reputable firm of brokers who made an honest living off of the stocks they handled. Bracken and Son had been in the brokerage business for several long years, but had failed to make an overwhelming success of the venture. Billings had often watched the board in the lobby of the firm but had never felt free to risk his hard earned money on the market. - As the new Billings sat in the lobby and watched the movement of the stocks, he felt a longing to become a part of the investing public. He was especially partial to steel, and as he noticed the activity of Union Steel he decided to risk a part of his savings with it. Old Man Bracken was surprised when Billings sought him out and after some PAGE ONE HUNDRED FIFTY ONE V 1.-VF'---.ev - -.., Y- -- inquiry purchased ten blocks of stock at S100 a share. As he signed his name to the check for S10,000, Billings felt lost and helpless. What if the stock failed him? He had a balance of less than three thousand dollars and that would soon dwindle. It was too late to worry now at any rate, and he pocketed the stock certificate with a self satisfied air. Billings lingered at the board for an hour or so and was gratified beyond measure to notice that Union Steel had advanced three points while he watched it. As he started to leave, he drew Bracken aside and gave him orders to reinvest his margin at the end of each day in Union Steel. It was an unusual request, but then Bracken received magny of them during a day's time. Union Steel, however, proved to be especially healthy. It thrived as a result of a fight over a directorate and Billings' stock increased in value and size each day. Clothes and a barber had done wonders for Billings. He was no longer typical of the over worked, under paid clerk. Whether he was or not, he looked the very picture of success. Each day found him at his place in front of the board, with its vast columns of Hgures. Each night found him at his secret shrine of worship and throughout both day and night he steadfastly refused to part with his Union Steel holdings which were still increasing. Bracken knew, or thought he knew the markets, and he hated to see Billings lose his all in one foolish plunge. He made vain efforts to show Billings through the use of the law of average and the record of the various stock activities that Union Steel was bound to fall and fall hard. To all of this sound and well meant advice Billings turned a deaf ear and commanded, Invest all margins in Union Steel. Billings was now worth approximately S100,000 and held 1000 shares of Union Steel stock which was being quoted at 79 and rising rapidly. Still Billings clung to Union Steel. He dreamed Union Steel, talked Union Steel, and lived in Union Steel. His account grew out of the firm of Bracken and Son in a short time and Billings found himself but one of hundreds of investors in a larger downtown oHice. The cries and noise of the Street could be heard above the excited cry of a man who had sold for a decided profit. Yet none of this interested Billings. Union Steel was jumping and he was happy, even elated and with the hunger for power growing with each small increase of Union Steel, he yearned for a seat in the Exchange. It meant money and it meant prestige, but he must have it. The market was feverish and Union Steel jumped into the lead of a restless field. It touched 90-92, then 95, and finally closed at 101. Billings was made. Success was his, and yet he continued to live off of his small balance and reinvest his holdings in Union Steel. He was no longer just an investor on the street. He was an individual and men who had succeeded and men who had failed pointed to him as the Man of Steel. His shrine in the outskirts of the city was no longer a barren rocky hill. An impos- ing mansion had recently been built on its peak by a financier, John Billings by name, a drab, queer creature whose cold, cracked voice rarely returned a salutation or ad- vanced a greeting to any but his beloved city, city of steel, bound together by long shiny bands of hard, cold steel. The war brought increased riches to the Man of Steel. He now controlled the holdings of Union Steel and had appointed himself president of the vast holdings of the company. Billings was many times a millionaire and was still buying steel-all of it-Federal, Consolidated, and Blaire. Orders from the Allied governments increased his cold hard wealth. Now foundries were built and he was forced to assume control over additional companies due to his investments. Frank Hay had fallen, a victim to a revenge that Billings had promised himself, along with other early enemies of the Man of Steel. Without care or worry, Billings broke men as easily as his smelter plants sapped the valuable iron from the tons of heated rocks, and with much less effort. Billings had hardened and had changed. Wealth and power had treated him far differently from what he thought. He was a QContinued on page 1581 PAGE ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO -41'-1 .2 .r -was .

He was feared and hated on the market and in the street, for he had cornered Steel single handed. At last, tiring of the monarch who sat alone on the throne of Steel, a Combine was organized for the express purpose of putting steel back on the market. Vast sums of wealth were pooled. Foundries set up and prices were cut in an attempt to crumble and topple old man Billings from his throne. Orders were plentiful for the Combine and Billings felt a large number of war orders slide from his grasp. Having an advantage of larger ore holdings and greater trade facilities, Billings opened the first broadside against the Combine. He cut his prices and bought leases from over the Combine with such ease that the Combine itself soon found its business where it had set out to put Billings. The Combine was a stark failure. After signing a check for a ridiculously small amount which was payment in full for the entire property holdings, leases and contracts of the Combine, Billings rubbed his knarled old hands together and licked his lips in the manner of a man who has just recently finished a bountiful feast. But then power was food to Billings and the fact that a score of men had followed in the wake of Frank Hay and others who had dared stand in the path of his conquests, made the feast more delectable. With the Combine safely out of the way, the Man of Steel increased his output and bartered day and night with mine owners for greater holdings in the mining industry. The coming of each night brought great joy to Billings, for the city, his city, his one love and master, was larger, much larger now. Where the lights had been soft and well blended, the angry glare of the blast furnace had marred an otherwise perfect picture. The foundries, the blast furnaces, and thousands of sundry ovens belching forth tongues of fiery fiames painted the sky for miles, hiding from sight of man by day and night the sky and works of God. Yet the night still held an attraction for Billings. The day of November 10, 1918, found Billings in his height of glory. A contract from the United States government which had just been signed for the completion of war stuffs, would net Billings close to three million dollars. And that would help him buy some mine holdings. His city, which might be called Billingstown, was wonderful the night of the tenth. Never had it appealed to him before as it did that night. It was wonderful. A peaceful night, and Billings was ready for another hectic day, a day that held far more in store for him than he realized-one that was to be guided by fate in the way of the one that started Billings on his wonderful and awe inspiring career. Long before the extras were on the street Billings had heard the news. The news that mil- lions and millions of fathers and mothers had been hoping and praying for since the declaration of war. The Armistice was signed! Billings first heard of the act when he received an order which cancelled all government contracts he held. It was a blow to him financially and a blow to his well laid plans. It had been a long time since Billings had bothered with a ticker tape. His brok- erage firm attended to that for him, that is until all need of them had passed. In fact Billings had not watched the markets for several months-perhaps a year. As he passed the stand on his way out to lunch, he picked up a strand of the tape from the floor. Steel had fallen three points since the news of the Armistice was signed. But why should he worry about that? An hour at luncheon and the afternoon to golf left Billings too tired to return to the oiifice. He ordered the car to be driven home and gave his driver the night off. And after changing into his lounging robe, he left for a good-night view of his city. 'Ahl It was still there! The handiwork of man. Hated by the millions who made it their home, cursed by all humanity, the city found love and respect in the heart of old Billings. The next morning steel had dropped an additional five points and was quoted from the Exchange at 307, a drop of 8 points after holding a high record for over a year.

THE BANK FOR ALL THE PEOPLE O H S 9' THE MAN OF STEEL fContinued from page 1581 frown creased the face of Billings for a few minutes and then passed as he walked to his window and gazed at the busy street hundreds of feet below him. He reached in a desk drawer and scanned a list of names. Frank Hay was the first one the list and the names of the men who had formed the ill' fated Combine appeared last. It was a novel idea. It was the idea of a Man of Steel. It was a complete list of the men he had broken, of men who had interfered with his plans, or caused him some discomfort at some time or other. Frank Hay had ended his life as had a number of the men whose names appeared on the sheet, by a tragic means, leaving a family behind him. Steel continued its fall throughout the day, slowly at first, then faster-faster- faster-and faster. It was down to 200, 199, 197, 195, and down, down, down. Not able to understand the actions of the market and unable to sell even a small part of his vast holdings, Billings went home. He was a sick man, and as he got closer to his mansion, he felt sicker. Upon reaching the house, he made a rush for the ticker and as the afternoon got well under way, he was reeling off the tape by the yard, following Steel down-d0wn- down-50-49-48-47, and lower, lower, and lower as the day ebbed. Billings was ruined! Not only ruined, but in debt to the extent of his original investment of S10,000. He made his way feebly to the room from which he was wont to watch his city. His hand reached in a desk drawer and drew forth two objects. One was the list of men that Billings had ruined, the other--but that is something else. The lights in his town were not yet turned on, and the sky, usually thick with smoke from the furnaces, was once again the blue that God had intended it to be. Billings watched and waited. He waited for the city to clothe itself in a mantle of angry, threatening, red light. He waited to see the city that he loved, the city that had been his dream and that sustained and soothed him through poverty and riches. But the city that he had grown to love never came. The tongues of flame that shoot from the throat of the blast furnaces was absent, and in the place of the angry flame and fire, the city was once more as Billings had known it as a clerk in the firm of Hay and Company. He drew the lounging robe closer around him and reached for a pen. Slowly and painfully he scribbled a few words on the bottom of the sheet and reaching for the other object he had taken from the desk, he jerked down the window blind with a muttered curse. The terrible sight was shut from his view, row upon row of sickly gleaming lights, meaning nothing but power and wealth. And a shudder passed through the frame of Billings. There was a stab of flame and a muiiied report. The next morning the newspapers carried the life history of the famous Man of Steel. They told the story of how he had fought and conquered, and published a list of the people that he had ruined. The list was headed with the name of Frank Hay and ended, ended with the scrawled signature of John Billings. X 1 .

There is no more efficient, loyal and enthus- iastic body of young women to be found anywhere. Did you ever watch the operators coming from the telephone exchange at the end of their day's work? They are a congenial, happy lot, reflecting the pleasant nature of their work. We would like to show every girl of Central High School through the Muskogee Exchange. The office is at 113 South Third Street, and Miss May McDermott. will welcome you any afternoon from two to five. 4,i,Ml0NIg I.
