The year 1950 has been filled with many color- ful and memorable events. To some the thrill and suspense of that all important conference football or basketball contest will be the most outstanding event of the year. To others their first date or their first venture on the dance floor will be the moment they'll never forget. Each year we experience events of joy, sadness, and great expectations which are recorded in the mincl's treasure chest until reflection on them at a later time recalls them to mind. It is the sincerest hope of the staff of the l95O Chieftain that in future years when you are thumb- ing through its pages, the book will become a magic key which will open the past and call to mind the ff? P many invaluable Treasures of l95O. Q f 6 Q rf' ,W .. 1 no ,xg f' ' 3- l ,. fx rf Xf - lx l r ' X17 L-LEA all , ' Q R leg- A 4 e-ab 7 To Mr. B. L.

The class brought to a close their three years at Central with their annual picnic at Greenleaf, the senior banquet, the Baccalaureate Services, and that all important occasion, Commencement. 16 IN MEMORIAM Mary Alice Blakemore Born-July I7, l93I-Died January IZ, l948 I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead. She is just away. With o cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there. And you -- oh, you, who the wildest yearn For an old-time step, and the glad return, Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of There, as the love of Here. Think of her still as the same. I say, She is not dead -- she is just away. James Whitcomb Riley CHAIILENE CAPPS GLEN COHEA DONNA IELLE GOLDEN President of Future Homemaker!

With its two big objectives in mind, that is, the production of its annual class play and the junior-senior prom, the Junior Class met in September and elected Larry Maddin, president, Marjorie Love, vice-president, Lahoma Smith, secretary and Kurt Burris, treasurer, and Mrs. O. T. Gilbertson, sponsor. The first of its objectives was reached in February when the class presented their annual play, this year, the famous Bob Hope comedy-farce, Nothing But the Truth, which was climaxed with a ticket selling contest in which Jeanne Garmon was chosen Junior Class Sweetheart over sixteen contestants on the basis of the most tickets sold in her favor. Since the show proved to be a big financial success, the juniors raised enough money with this one event to pay for the prom. ln addition, the junior class was co-sponsor of the Junior- Senior play, Berkeley Square, in January, and several members of the class were leaders in the annual Curtis Sales Drive. At the prom in May, the class presented one of Central's most outstanding proms which was highlighted by the annual grand march which was led by their sweetheart and the Senior Class president. 36 , .

Both the representative and alternate must be dependable and qualified to present their ideas, voice their opinions in school matters to the council and to take back to their home- rooms the decisions of the council. The council functions as a House of Representatives with Earl Eddins, Speaker of the House, Betty Rogers, Speaker Protem, and Margie Love, Secretary. The main objectives of the council are to promote the welfare of the school in every way, to instill a feeling of greater devotion and loyalty into the members of the organization in the school, and to develop democratic ideals for the future citizenship. This year the council did an excellent job in supervising the students in the cafeteria. 6l Council members were host to the Crack Squad at a banquet given in their honor, March l, l95O. A float was entered in the Mardi Gras parade by the Student Council. Council members Margie Love, Gorma Woolard, David Shelton and Earl Eddins rep- resented Central at the Federation of Okla- homa School Student Council's ninth annual convention in Madill, Oklahoma, December l, 2, 3.

Delphic Literary Society was organized in l9l8 with only eight girls reporting for the initial meeting. The group was composed of girls who were interested in public speaking and debate. During the past thirty-two years the society has evolved somewhat, until today the girls turn their attention to charitable projects, rather than debating. This year the members of Delphic pre- pared a Thanksgiving basket for a needy family. At Christmas the girls had a party carrying out the holiday motif. A skating party was given by the members in February. The social highlight of the year was the annual banquet when the group bade farewell to their graduating members. Delphic officers for the year were: Earn- estine Wells, president, Mary Nevitt, vice- president, Edna Matthews, secretary, Maxine Phillips, treasurer, and Anna Bingham, pro- gram chairmen.

Each Thursday morning before school this year the members of Entre Nous met in Room 303 with their sponsor, Mrs. T. H. Moore and co-sponsor, Miss Bertha Stebler. Their 1950 programs w e r e centered mainly around the study of the everyday prob- lems of the teen-age girl and discussions on co-ed and women's colleges.

There are over 13,000 future farmers in Oklahoma and 300,000 in the United States. The Muskogee Chapter of future farmers was first organized this year under the direc- tion of Gene Beach. The local club envelops a vocational program for farm boys who are pri- marily planning to go back to farming and dairying after graduation from high school. Each F. F. A. member must have several projects during the year. The most popular among the boys seemed to be raising livestock. Ten boys had registered swine breeding pro- jects and two boys had registered beef pro- jects. Each year the F. F. A. members partici- pate in stock shows and judging contests.

Bradley raised a champion holstein cow which was awarded the first place ribbon at the Okla- homa Free State Fair in October of 1949. Not only being good farmers, the F. F. A. boys are also excellent salesmen. They won a wire re- corder and a radio by selling subscriptions to the Southern Agricultural magazine and in February they sponsored a donkey basketball game and raised enough money to buy a pick- up truck. The twelve aims of the chapter are lead- ership, character, sportsmanship, co-opera- tion, thrift, service, scholarship, better farm- ing, recreation, citizenship, honesty, a n d patriotism.

The Distributive Education Club of Cen- tral High School meets the first Monday of each month at 7:30 p. m. under the direction of Mrs. P. L. Gassoway. After taking care of their regular business, the students listen to lectures by a prominent merchant. The purpose of the Distributors Club is to develop such qualities as leadership, high ethical business standards, an intelligent choice of an occupation, and a respect for vo- cational education. Members of the Distributors Club take regular class work in the morning, which makes it possible for them to apply for a part time job. The Distributive Education course and job together give a student two regular units as well as developing his ability along future business lines. Central's club held the annual banquet at which the students played host to their em- ployers on February 2, and ended the year's activities with o picnic at Greenleaf Lake dur- ing the month of May.

Although one ofthe younger organ- izations in school, it proved itself this year to be among the most active. While membership was limited to those who had portrayed major roles in dramatic productions, students who had been active in forensics, and those who assisted in some man- ner with radio programs, fifty students met on September 19 and organized the club. lt was agreed upon by those present at the organiz- ational meeting that the purpose of the club would be to assist the school in all speech undertakings, including public speaking activ- ities, drama, radio, and interpretation, as well as to encourage the developement of speech education throughout the community. Those elected to guide the club's activities were Carl Ream, president, Jackie Kahley, vice-president, Bob Reitz, treasurer, Rita McGrann, secretary, Virginia Burleson, ex- ecutive advisor to the president, and Mr. J.

Seoul' By shoving copy two regular periods a day, and countless irregular ones, from reporter to editor to print shop, the Scout staff met deadlines on twenty-eight publications this year proving journalistic work to be a continuous job. One week's issue was not off the press before the next week's paper was being arranged. The Scout, which is a weekly publication, was published through the combined efforts of both the junior and senior journalism classes. Much ,credit goes to Mr. A. J. Geymann and the boys in the print shop and Miss Elizabeth Bonnell, sponsor, upon whose guidance the success of the staff and its product was entirely dependent. Staff members attended several conferences and clinics during the past year and sent three delegates to the NSPA convention in Chicago. Members ofthe Scout staff are as follows: Editor, Bob Lomax, Associate Editor, Willie Mae Lange, News Editor, Jean Arnold, Feature Editor, Anita Wood, Sports Editor, Robert Buster and Jake Wieland, Exchange Editor, Jeanne Williams, Headline Editor, Betty Englert, Car- toonist, Bob Noever, and Photographer, Earl Eddins, Business staff included: Advertising Manager, Ray Smith, Circul- ation Manager, Lee Roy Bondurant, Auditor, Bob Caskey. For the past 42 years the Scout has been published under the motto, Service and Truth . Appearing first as a monthly magazine in l908, the Scout became a weekly paper in l92O and has remained that, being distributed every Friday afternoon an the sixth hour. Central can be justly proud of the scout, in the years previous to i949 the Scout received the highest rating possible, that of All-American twice. Last year the Scout was rated All-American both semesters. Always on the job, the Scout is ready to boast of the schools under- takings, bringing about a feeling of co-operation and friendliness among the student body and faculty. 77 Robert Buster, Ronald Perry, and Jim Weeks.
