Bob Cortright, who leaves us this year after 11 suc- cessful years as athletic director. Coach Cortright has coached the Rougher football squad to championships in the Oklahoma state conference three times, the Central conference twice, and the Oklahoma Six conference four times during his stay here in Cen- tral. He also has served as track coach. He issued the following statement concerning track: l consider George Johnson, a for- mer Muskogee track star of 1931, the outstanding all-round track and field man ever developed in Oklahoma high school circles. With the new stadium and its cin- der track, Muskogee will be able to overcome its handicap and will meet other teams on an equal basis. The Roughers' basketball squads have served under Bob and have been winners of the Central conference. Gonlenbi Moffatt.

To seniors particularly l should like to address this question. I realize that it is a difficult question to answer because you cannot very well separate the things you have learned in school from the things you have learned elsewhere. Also it is very difficult at any time to take inventory of the things we have actually learned. However, if you have learned to get along better with the people with whom you associate and have learned how to read, your teachers and administrators will be happy. By reading, I mean fair mastery of the reading study skills, which are: The ability to locate information, the ability to select that part which has c bearing upon your problem, the ability to evaluate what you read, the ability to organize it in a way that will make it more meaningful to you anc others, and finally, the ability to determine what to remember and how tc remember it. Armed with the ability to get along with people and with the reading study skills, coupled of course with wholesome attitudes toward life, its origin anc purposes, we predict for you success in all worthy undertakings. Such is oui wish for you. J. R. Holmes Tour l-leadauarters Through the courtesy of the Muskogee Board of Education, these tours of Central and the student activities have been made possible. This board is composed of four business men, who donate their time and efforts to school problems. All members are elected by the citizens of Muskogee and are re- sponsible for the operation of the school system. C. A. Ambrister has served on the board for four years and is an attorney-at-law. At the pres- ent time he is serving as city attorney. A six year member of the board is W. H. Cun- ningham, who is the Secretary of the Victor Build- ing and Loan Association. Arthur Catlett, manager of the Commercial Lumber Company, has been with the board since l926 and is now serving as 'the president of the board. J. A. Lathim, a five year member, is the secre- tary-recorder of the Masonic Building Association and the Grand York Rite Masonic Bodies of Okla- homa and also of the local masonic bodies. The clerk of the board for the past fifteen years has been E. D. Cave.

We should understand that education is a life-long adventure in self-realization, conditioned by our social and physical sur- roundings to the end that we may be more useful members of our group and that we shall find our individual ways to hap- piness through lives spent in service. Sincerely yours, L. M. Speaker General Business Staff Upon entering the general offices, scenes similar to these corne before you. The top shows Mr, J. E.

Central's Teachers Meet in Room 205 ln addition to teaching the students of Central necessary subect matter, Cen- tral's 67 teachers inculcate the highest ideals in the minds and hearts of their charges. To discuss the problems of adminis- tration and teaching the teachers hold their weekly meetings every Tuesday af- ternoon in room 205. After these ses- sions, the teachers go to the meetings of their respective departments where they further discuss the current school problems. The teachers hold a total of 65 degrees from universities near and far. The far- thest east of these schools is Cornell and Southern California is the forthest west. One teacher has even gone out of the country to the University ot Mexico. Generally, however, the teachers at- tended schools close to home. Central can well be proud of this splendid group who are in charge at the destinies of the Centralites. 207... Boys' Glee Club Bass First Row: Billy Phillips, Eugene Ma- han, Frank Mayne.

Behind the Footlights of the Junior Play Headed for Eden Headed for Eden was the Junior Class Play presented by two different casts on Thursday and Friday, December l5, and ,l6 in the school auditorium. The play had its beginning in Louisiana State University given by The Louisiana Players Guild. The director of the Junior Play, Mr. Holland Meacham, stated that the reason for selecting this play was that it combined humor, mystery, and happy endings . The action of the play all takes place in a southside boarding house in Chicago. ln the first act, Bob Roberts is arrested in the boarding house after being involved in a murder. Through the efforts of Henry Banks, a young truck driver, the real killer is exposed through the confession of a notorious gangster from Chicago. All's well that ends well, is again proved true by the happy endings of several love affairs in the last scene. , Above: An astonishing fact is revealed.

Seniors Get Spring Fever in Senior Play Mixing the very atmosphere in which they were in with the enter- tainment angle in view, the seniors, presented their annual Senior Play, Thursday and Friday, May 4 and 5, entitled Spring Fever. This three act play was written by Glenn Hughes. The force depicts the uproar in a college boarding house on the day before commencement. Much of the action in it approaches old fashioned slapstick antics. The story is woven around the last-minute troubles of the boys in the rooming house. .0 Below-Back row: C.

The Key Quadruplets l Setting the stage for some of the best enter- tainment of Muskogee, the Central High Auditorium has not only promoted Muskogee talent but imparted it throughout the state. Probably the most important celebrities to visit the dear old halls of Central were the Oklahoma Key quadruplets and the troup from the A. and M. College, Stillwater, Oklahoma. Muskogee talent included both the Junior and Senior Plays directed by junior sponsor, Holland Meacham. The Spanish Club, Los Amigos, presented its A, and M, College Quartet annual play.

H. S. Band's third annual banquet and dance held this spring. The Band has long been recognized as one of Muskogee's most public-minded civic bodies in that it is always ready to play for any affair which will boost the city's prestige. . At football games, basketball games, school assemblies, and other student gatherings the Band is on hand to add a musical zip to the occasion. Back of all these public appearances, lie many hours of hard work which often tax the boys and Mr. Goetz until the feathers literally fly . But at the next appearance in public the Band is again welded into that unbeatable combination Mr. Anton Goetz, director of the band for the past six- teen years, has made great strides in furthering the musi- cal activities of this com- munity. l '.f3 ' G.

' R. J. Bob Cortright, football coach, has made an enviable rec- ord for himself as coach of the cagers. Cortright will not be with the cagers in 1939. He will be coaching at Oklahoma City next year. . - Paul Marston, assistant coach of Cental's basketball team and foot- ball team of '38-39 is pictured below. A Built in 1931 for the use of the basketbali teams and gymnasium classes, Centra1's newest addition, her splendid gymnasium, is one of her proudest possessions. One of the best in the state, our gymnasium has a seating of 1800. It faces toward the north, with its entrance on Elmira Street. Just inside the door is the ticket booth and on either side of this are the doors to the gymnasium proper. The gymnasium's most important uses are for basketball games, gymnasium classes, coro- nations, and the all-school assemblies. 1 I s . Making one of the most brilliant records as a captain on record, Don- ald Howell has been ranked as one of the most important basketball players by receiving the honor and distinction of becoming a member of the all-state team.

Stigler- Holdenville- e , Through his untiring efforts and services to the team, Herbert Lut- trell has been selected to lead the Cagers in the basketball games of '39-40. Herbert, a junior, has played basketball since 1936 and has play- ed on the first team through these years. With even this start the team managed to win six of the fourteen games played in the Oklahoma Six Conference Tournament and advanced to the sen!- finals in the State Regional Meet at Mc!-Xlester after the Conference Tournament was ended. Merle Cahill Bobby Neely Eddie Davis Taking two losses before they managed to get into the groove, the Roughers defeated Sapulpa and Okmulgee in a row by rather large margins. Taking another defeat at the hands ofa non-conference team from Ft. Smith, Arkansas, they then retaliated by defeating the Tulsa Daniel Webster team. Defeated in the following two games, they secured revenge upon Ft. Smith and beat Sapulpa again by the score of 29 to 9. The last two games of the Conference were losses for the Roughers as they were vanquished by Bartlesville and Tulsa Central in return games. At the last game which closed the season, the members crowned Jean Claire Roberts as Cage Queen for l939. This season also marked the end of Coach Bob Cortright's stay at Central as he received an ap- Jack Ward pointment as head football coach in an Oklahoma City high school. Eugene Briggs J. W. Odom Joe Oliver . r ' . .5 Proper Settingf Many Gala Affairs . . Central's beautiful gymnasium, built in 1931 with a seating capacity of 1800, is the scene of many gala affairs. Her majesty, Jean Claire Roberts, was crowned Queen of the 1938-39 Roughers in an impressive ceremony in the presence of the student body in an all-school assembly held November 18. The Queen was escorted by the football captain, J. W. Crittenden to the throne about which the football squad were .-,, Q gathered. With Jean Claire Roberts were her attend- ants, Erminie Bell, Betty Ann Malone, Cleo Henry, Betty Lou Hamilton and her Maid of Honor, Doris Paul. ln its noble presence many basketball fans wit- nessed the crowning of the Basketball Queen, Betty Sherman, which took place before the Tulsa-Musko- gee basketball game. Captain Donald Howell of the team assisted the Queen to the throne where she received the crown. All home games during the basketball season were played in Central's gymnasium President and vice-president of the student body, Bill McLean and Cleo Henry, respectively, voiced their oath of support and allegiance before an all-school assembly in the gymnasium. After the president had taken the oath of office, he then administered it to the representatives and alternates of the House. During the Christmas season the gymnasium seated those attending the music assembly, under joint supervision of Miss Thelma Peters and Howard smith. ' Most gala of all gala affairs, especially to the seniors, was the all-school assembly held on March 31. This day marks the date of annual Hobo Day activities in which seniors presented original skits. Although the walls of the Centrl High Gymnas- ium have a barren appearance, they have witnessed some of the most spectacular events Central has ever had.

Raugiam .-S' ' Robert Cortright, Coach Pete Stamper Football One of the most eventful days in the life of a Rougher rooter was the day, November I9, when nearly five-hun- dred students turned their attention to the annual Muskogee-Tulsa football game. Some three hundred and fifty students left Muskogee by special train, while one hundred and fifty or more went by car to witness this im- portant classic. Among the first games of the sea- son was the Sapulpa game, in which the Sapulpa Chieftains were nosed out by two points by the Roughers. The winning score came when Sonny Rob- erts and Andy House fell on the ball tack of the Sapulpa goal post. l t' One of the main attractions in the parade before the Tulsa game was the football queen, Jean Claire Roberts, the maid of honor, Doris Paul. As an inspiration for the Tulsa football game the queen, Jean Claire Roberts, was crowned on November 17, 1938. ' Football lContinuedl The powerful team from Tulsa's new Daniel Webster high school was held to a scoreless tie in the second major game of the season. The Roughers outplayed Daniel Webster's Warriors by gaining l34 yards to Tulsa's l26 in running plays. The third game, played with Bartlesville's team, was won by the touchdown ot Gilbert Hooker, who hit the center of the line for a score of 640, The first defeat of the season was chalked up against the Roughers, when the McAIester Butts defeated them by a score of 7-6 in a fast game at Athletic Park. u Leading in the Muskogee portion of the Tulsa- Muskogee football game can be seen the band mascot, Lee Moffett Marsh, and the drum major, Bill Dougherty. Below-Upholding Central's colors in Tulsa parade were the green Peppers with their green and white uniforms. Sonny Rgbertg L6I'0y Wise J. E. PUFRCI' Gene Davidson Football lContinuedl Mack McGuire, substitute quarter- back, scored the point for the Rough- ers. He failed to kick the extra point to tie the score. Okmulgee's Bulldogs nosed out on the Roughers, with a score of 8-O. lt was the first time in eight years that they have defeated Central. Muskogee gained six first downs to Okmulgee's five, but gained only l36 yards to Okmulgee's l46 in rushing attacks. Handed the largest defeat of the season, Muskogee's Roughers went Bobby Neely with a score of 20-O, for that team's first victory over the Roughers since l93l. Two Grizzly scores were rnade in the second quarter, with the other in the first. Joe Oliver LeRoy Jones Football iContinuedl The final conference game of the Rougher's 1938-'39 season, the annual Tulsa Central-Muskogee Thanksgiv- ing classic, was played in the Univer- James Kilgore sity of TuIsa's Skelly Stadium, Novem- ber l6, when the Roughers out-played their opponents in one of the closest games of the season. The score was I3-l2. The game is usually played on Thanksgiving day, but this year for special reasons it was not. The de- ciding point was a goal kick, which hit one of the goal posts before bounc- ing over for the extra point. Musko- gee gained a victory over their annual rivals and brought to a close their last season under Coach Robert J. Cort- right. Andy House Howard Overby i Arthur Walton k R. T. if R. E. ff R. H F.
