SEXrOH BOOMER 1 Foreword! Asa narration of school life in E. H. S. for the year 1922, we pre- sent this, our Senior Boomer. It is the aim of the Senior Class, in this publication, to portray life as it is in the class-room, the societies, and the outside activities of the school. Our purpose is to show the advancement and progress of El Reno High particularly through the progress of the largest grad- uating class ever seen in El Reno—the Seniors of ’22. 2 SENIOR ROOMER YOUR BAKING PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED ...WHEN YOU USE...

She signed herself “Alvsse Jones.” Thus designated she entered a new school. The head mistress asked her her name. “Alvsse Jones,” she replied. “A-l-y-s-s-e.” “Thank you,” said the teacher, “and how are you spelling Jones now?” “And the father of the prodigal son fell on his neck and wept.” “What did he weep for?” the Sunday school teacher asked Hayward Wright. “I guess you would weep, too, if you fell on your neck ’ replied Hayward. “Why are the muscles in my head smaller than the muscles in my ear?” asked Miss Maass. “Because you don’t use them as much,” an- swered Dick J.

Wog Rice and Hubert Smith were having an argument over their names. Then Hubert said, “When the world began all people were named Smith, but every time a person committed a sin he had to change his name.” THE 0X1 FORD ROOMS EATS “Without a Smiling Face Do Not Become a Merchant” Ir an old Chinese proverb. For picturesqueness, shrewd common sense and penetrating vision, the Chinese excel. A smile, a kind word, a sympathetic helping hand, costs nothing; they unlock the gates of untold happiness and success. Without these human qualifications, man, indeed, should not become a merchant. Service as expressed by salespeople who smile, who are courteous, attentive, efficient, who render helpful assistance to their customers, is an oft-men- tioned characteristic of this J. C. Penney Co. store. We strive to be worthy merchants. And we shall continue to deserve your patronage only to the extent we continue to render you this greater service.

II. S. Seniors! Are you sure you’ve got your mon- ey’s, worth from E. II. S.T You have worked and •studied for four years;—now, what have you gained ? This is one of the most important questions of your life, at this time. Those who are leaving school should lie satisfied that they have obtained the most possible good from their high school education. Those of you who are not yet ready to leave school should ask these questions, too, and then resolve to do better. You should have gained, from your studies and class-room activities, a knowledge of the world, as it is, and as its problems must be met. From your club and social activities, you should have gained a desire for clean amusements and good fellowship. From your athletic, debate, and contest work, you should have gained the ability to be good winners and equally good losers. You should have learned the elements of citi- zenship, and how to become a good citizen. You should now have an ambition to do greater and higher things than ever before. You should have learned to obey all the rules and codes of civilization. You should have learned to help others and re- vspcet yourself. You should have learned your lessons. You should have gained a school spirit and a love for E. H. S.—her activities, teachers, and students. Your four years in high school should have been the most joyful and profitable ones of your life. You should have gained all these things and many more. lx ok over your school life and try to enumer- ate all the benefits you have derived from high school. You will find that you have gained just as much as you have put in, in real, honest work. If you have not obtained the above-mentioned things, then E. II. S. has not done what she should have for you. You have not allowed her to help you. The fault is yours alone. If you feel that you still have something com- ing to you from El Reno High, come again. Francis Irving has been a valuable man to the Senior Boomer, in helping secure advertising. Much of the financial success of the publication is due to his efforts, and the Boomer staff wish to express their hearty appreciation of his work. Shake, Tug, we’re for you. DAWN! One morning I arose at dawn The sun was coming up; And I went out upon the lawn, Its beauty there to sup. An hour I lay and watched the light Illumine all the sky; The clouds were there, but like the night, Were slowly gliding by. And while I lay out on the lawn, The light came from the gray; And then I saw a perfect dawn Change to a perfect day. And like the night, our class is gone, Has left El Reno Hi. But in our lives only the dawn As yet has glided by. El Reno Hi, a perfect dawn Before us caused to lay; And may this turn when we are gone, Into a perfect day. It dashed the clouds and cleared the sky, And trouble, too, refrained. And in our lives, to this dear high, We’ll owe all that we’ve gained. —Emmett Thompson.

S. with verdant brilliance. Can you believe it? They were, we, the Seniors (we now say it with pride) of ’22. But even as Fresh- men we Iwjgan very early to show signs of pep. We were the first class to secure Mr. Bradshaw’s con- sent to have a class meeting. We assembled in the old Study Hall and the following officers were elected: President—Vinita McDonald. Vice-President—Anna MacSwain. Secretary-Treasurer—Ronald Bailey. Sponsor—Miss Lee. The first social event of the year was a picnic at stop thirty-six. We all arrived safely but no one had enough money to pay fare back. It was a dire predicament but we were rescued from the peril of walking home by Mr. Randle, who assist- ed us financially. Later in the year we gave a party in the Gym and for once in our history the eats were left in- tact. When the summer was over, our career as Sophomores began. A more conceited, dignified bunch had never graced these halls of learning. We smiled tolerantly and condescendingly down upon the poor little Freshmen and gracefully hid the fact that none but we ourselves had ever equal- ed them in their amazing ignorance. Mr. Randle and Miss Shuttee agreed to attempt sponsoring us and we elected inita McDonald, president; Emmett Thompson, vice-prcsid?nt; Vernie Fales, secretary-treasurer. We began the year’s social activity with a pic- nic at Tourist Park. Maybe you can’t have good times when you’re Sophomores! We also had a Christmas party with a Christmas tree and every thing. Everyone received a valuable (?) present. After another vacation we returned to school as Juniors. We again selected Mr. Randle and Miss Shuttee as sponsors and elected Marshall McDougle, president; Francis Irving, vic?-pres- ident; Alice von Merveldt, secretary-treasurer. As Jolly Juniors we set about having a good time at once and we began the year with a very suce ss- cul picnic at the brick plant. Now that we were sufficiently important to as sociate with the Seniors, we began to look forward to the banquets we would have. Our hopes reced- ed a blow when we came to the realization that neither class had the funds to give a banquet to the other. So we decided upon the only reasonabl • course of action—pooled our funds and had a won- derful May Day banquet at the Methodist church. Our Junior year was a very eventful and very happy one, indeed. At last we are in sight of our goal. We are Seniors. We arc trying our best to assume the dignity seemly in those who have reached our sta- tion in life. At our initial meeting Sanford Babcock was elected president, Harold Sawallisch, vice-presi- dent; Vernie Fales, secretary, and Robert Harri- son, treasurer. Miss Witcher was chosen sponsor. A picnic was held north of Ft. Reno and we had a wonderful time. Only the ice-cream arrived late, and we began to think we were going to re- turn without dessert. Close upon the heels of the picnic came the Kid Party. The Seniors assembled in the Gym and proceeded to forged our dignity. Childish games were played and Miss Witcher sent the little dears home at an early hour. A society for the promotion of school spirit and pep in athletics was organized by the Senior Class. The members of this society were called “Razzle Dazzles”. Leo Miles was chosen as .veil leader. With our last picnic, social activity will lx aban- doned until banquet time. Our career as students in E. II. S. ends May nineteenth, but we will not soon forget our four happy years there and we hope to be remembered as loyal supporters of the “Blue and White.” IMA PENNEBAKER.

SENIOR ROOMER 10 THIRTY YEARS I,ATER On April 13, 1952, while in New York waiting for my private car to arrive from Philadelphia and bear me to San Francisco, I went into the Zeigfeld Follies in an attempt to while away an hour or two in seclusion from the business world. To my surprise, Miss Rhoda Harrison was the central figure of the ballet. Regardless of a slight- ly advanced age, she still entertained an apprecia- tive audience, daily, in the premier hall of amuse- ment. After the show, Lewis McIntyre, Harold Sawallisch, Leslie O’Brien and Hubert Smith en- tered in keen competition to see who would take her to an exclusive cafe and later, home. While making the trip across the Continent, I saw on the Banner (Okla.) City Bulletin, beside the depot, that Helen Hanson, Prima Donna of vaudeville fame, was soon to appear on a two-day stand in the Banner Opera House. The next day was rather windy, and when I changed cars at Hcaston, Okla., I obligingly chas- ed down a hat for a lady at the station. 1 found that the hat belonged to my old classmate, Edith Mohnike, who is in partnership with Iris Rutledge, engaged in the wild business of locating oil wells in Greenland. They were at the time, trying to persuade Fred Wewerka, the chief of police, of Hcaston, that they really did not need a license to sell stock. By the following extract from the Squashville Gazette, “Jim Rowley, local fire department, gol darn neer lost his job last week. While he wus usin ’ the new red fire waggin to haul away the trash from his yard, the Harrington General Merchan- dise Store come neer burnin’ up afore Jim cud git back. Wog Rice, mayor of the city ’lows as how he’ll let Jim off this time, but he’d better not due it agin. It is believed that his wife, who used to be Fawnette Witcher, had something to due with the dicision.” I found that J. Rowley is now Adonis of the fire-fighters, Kitty Harrington is engaged in the merchandise business, and Wog Rice is mayor of Squashville. After transacting my business in San Francisco, I went to Hollywood, where I found that Zella Arnold and Glenn Crawford were, at the time, working location on the six-reed thriller “The Vile and Villainous Village Vampire’s Vanity Vanishes.” I arranged for an evening with them. In the course of the tele a tele, we discussed the various members of the Class of ’22. Vernie Fales and Harriet Rector, it seems, are missionaries to Afghanistan. J. Stackpole is collecting strange fossils of pre- historic animals in the Australian Wilds. E. Thompson, noted physicist, recently discov- ered the Solar System, the base of which is the (______ THE NEW SYMBOL OF SERVICE ...THE... EL RENO ICE CO.

Hayward Wright, boxer and heavyweight cham- pion, was, and is at the present time, making a theatrical tour through the Irish Free State. His sparring partner is one Lucille Ruiter, who it might also he said, is his partner in life. Marguerite Clarke, Ethel Shaw and Ruth Muzzy are active advocates of “Rights for Women”. Their most recent triumph was obtaining the rigid to vote in the South Sea Islands. This makes the third country they have induced to grant to wo- men their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; the others being Patagonia and Li- beria. Henryetta Rebman started in this world with the idea of maintaining herself in a position of single blessedness, as a school teacher. But what can a poor girl do in opposition to the combined efforts of George Miller and Dan Cupid? Miss Rehrnan became Mrs. Miller in June, 1951. During the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 1951, Charles Schaeffer led the state of Arkansas in the production of cauliflowers. Ilis wife, formerly Miss Catherine Compton, was a large factor con- tributing to her husband’s success. By virtue of his store-made clothes, Robert liar rison has, for a number of years maintained his position as Beau Brummel of Union City. Grace Reynolds, his wife, takes great pride in the ap- pearance of her life mate. Ralph Lamb, however, is disputing Fat’s right to his title and a period of competition is expected. Betting is 5 to 3 in favor of the present Arrow Collar Man, around “Ruth Palmer Beauty Emporium and Barber Shop.” John Calhoun is known the country over as “The Man of Multiple Marriages”. His first mat- rimonial attempt was with Agnes Flippen. This resulted in a divorce because she was too pugilis- ticallv inclined. He next married Ethel Molmike; but the mental strain of distinguishing between her and Edith was too much for his mentality. Olga Powell was the next of his known wives. Six months after the marriage John was arrested for bigamy. Leona Johnston was the third party in the case. While serving his three-vear term in McAlester Mr. Calhoun met and married Eliza - lK th Ping. This last embarkation it is hoped, will be more permanent. Bernice Cobbs and Anita Frerking, daring avia- tresses, recently shattered all altitude records, at the Ariel Frolic in Los Angeles. Paul Sterba and Morris Simonson are doing a thriving haberdashery business on Fifth Avenue, New York City. Helen Hicks and Edythe Witcher arc operating a chicken (poultry) ranch in the Hawaiian Islands. SENIOR ROOMER 21 Malcom Phelps is a lineman for a trans-Atlantic wireless company. Vera Bergren is a “grandma” of the approved variety. Her principal occupation is assuring her grandson, Reginald, aged two, that there really is a Santa Claus. Grace Jackson and Frances Beckett, immediate- ly after leaving E. II. S. took a solemn vow to remain single. They are now operating a fox farm on the outskirts of Nome, Alaska. Marshall McDougle and Leo Miles are wealthy counterfeiters. They received their training as janitors in the U. S. Mint at Philadelphia. Alice von Merveldt is a stenographer. She chews each of the Wrigley’s three styles with equal favor—Juicy Fruit on the left side, Spear mint on the right, and Doublemint with great agil- ity in either jaw. In fact she has become quite a connoisseur of good gum. Gladys Hawkins and Laura English are famous movie actresses. Dorothy Buss married a multi-millionaire. She now devotes her time to registering ennui at all the large social functions at the pleasure resorts. Victor Bunch is the American Ambassador to France. He leads the world in the consumption of “Old Crow, Bottled in Bond.” He patronizes Car)- Lyon’s bar in Paris. Catherine Kinsey, Mabel Baldwin, Linnie Jim DuLaney, Hazel Eagle, Velma Gholston, Ruby Mc- Allister and Clara Sharp recently completed their tour around the world in a small steam yacht. I la Wyman, Helen Zeidler, Pauline Gilbert, Ce- cil Smith, Anna Thompson, Ruth Mount, and Amy Maxey all ultra-modern authoresses, are touring the South Sea Islands in search of local color so that they might continue to contribute to the liter- ature of the world. Corwin Dick has capitalized his idea of philan- thropy. He built several colleges and other insti- tutions of higher learning and is now reaping a fortune selling mid-night oil to the students at a monopoly price. The Class of ’22 is particularly well represented in the journalistic world. Kenneth Cosby and Louise Schroeder are part- ners in matrimony and also in ownership of the Pumpkin Morning Clarion. Ima Pennebaker is editor and Herbert Bondur- ant, business manager of the Snappy Stories Mag- azine. Lucy Ann Babcock and Helen Butts have suc- ceeded Captain Billy as editors of the Whiz Bang. Helen Railsback and Hazel Church are the guid- ing geniuses of the Police Gazette. After all the members of the class had been ac counted for we still could find no trace of Sanford Babcock. We particularly wanted to account for him, he being president of the class. We shared our desire with the sheriff of Sumner County, Kansas, Cook County, Illinois, the Royal North- western Mounted Police, and the Gendarmes all over France. No trace has been found of him, as yet. Now I have no apologies to offer because, in fact, none are needed. If you don’t like the write-up you got, you can just put in your com plaint to Miss Witcher as sponsor of the class— and see how much good it does you.

MED A SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY The El Reno chapter of the Meda Scholarship Society was organized in November, 1921. The grades of Sophomores, Juniors and Sen- iors are averaged for the time they have been in school and if two of the grades are above ninety and two above eighty, for every year, they are eligible to membership. About forty students qualified during the first semester. Miss Berg was our sponsor until toward the end of the year, her duties became so strenuous that she was forc- ed resign her leadership, and Miss Eubank kind- ly consented to assume responsibilities. At the first meeting of the year, the following officers were elected: President--------------------Emmett Thompson Vice-President -................. Corwin Dick Secretary......................Helen Hanson Treasurer----------------------------------Ima Pennebaker The purpose of the society is to promote high standards of scholarship, and has provided from its membership several of the contestants to the Interscholastic Meet at Norman. We have had a very interesting and enjoyable year and we hope that our chapter has been es- tablished on such a firm basis that its work will be continued for many years to come. The Meda Society was established with the idea of accomplishing work and therefore we made it one of our rules to have only one social affair a semester and this was made the occasion of our semester initiations. We have had only two but they were worth the abstinence from other affairs. About the first of March, a Junior Meda So- ciety was organized under the auspices of the senior organization. The qualifications for Junior Meda are the same as for the other organization and the society has about seventy-five interested, enthused and peppy members, who promise to make it a success and an inspiration to all students to keep up their grades and “get in”.

That is the story of El Reno High School’s 11)21 football season. The year was a successful one, with triumphs over balancing the losses. It brought forth a glittering group of individual players. After defeating Kingfisher 12-0 in the initial game of the season and trouncing Yukon 60-0, Edmond 25-6, and Fairview 48-0, El Reno angled with Oklahoma City Hi. El Reno opened and a real attack connected with a series of line plunges which resulted in the first touchdown. But the weight of the opponents proved too much for the light El Reno team, and as our players were forc- ed from the game by injuries and substitutes took their places, the City l egan to score. The game ended with the score, El Reno, 7, Oklahoma Citv, 21. The following week, the badly crippled team met Duncan and lost the game 14-0, the first time they had been held scoreless. “Have Randle’s men lost their punch?” was the question everywhere. The next game, El Reno tied Guthrie, 0-0. Guthrie earlier had held Oklahoma City, 3-0. Then came the cheering come-back—a 18-0 triumph over McAlester. The passing machine got into action and the back field showed it had developed a punch. Next, the dope was upset again when they lost to Shawnee, 27-14, at Shawnee. The last game of the season was played with Enid, at Enid, on Thanksgiving day. Fumbles were costly to El Reno, in this game. Enid scor- ed 21 points in the first quarter on fumbles made by El Reno. After that, El Reno tightened down and held Enid from scoring a 53-0 defeat as they had predicted. The game ended with Enid 35, El Reno, 14. Next year will show a wealth of material, ac- cording to indications. Only four men will Ik lost by graduation, and the line promises to be one of the strongest in the state. El R« no 12. El Rono 60.

THE TEAM Robert Harrison, (Captain, and right tackle, played his fourth year on the team at that posi- tion. “Fat” always stood for “They shall not pass.” He is a Senior this year. Charles Hall, played his second year at left tackle. “Chuck” is a sure tackle and can open a hole large enough for a covered wagon. He is a Junior. Alva McDonald, “Bro,” was playing his first year on the team, at center. His accurate pass- ing and aggressive work on the defense made him a valuable man to the team. “Bro” is a Fresh- man and will be back for more next year. Floyd Butler, “Cowboy,” as they called him, played his first year on the team, at right guard and he surely did hook them, too. He is a Soph- omore. Roderick Rice was playing his third year on the team. “ Wog” was the most versatile man on the team. He was a reliable ground gainer, good kicker, true passer, called signals, and played half or fullback. He is a Senior. Harvey Harrison was playing his first year on the team, at left guard. “Slits” could be de- pended on to hold his part of the line. He is a Sophomore and ready for a come-back next year. Lawrence Cooper was tin find of the season. Cooper played right end. He was fast, a sure tackle and a reliable receiver. He is another Freshman. George Edgar was another second year man, making a reliable ground gainer at left half. “Doug” is a junior this year, and should prove a very valuable man next year. Fred Hutson, was also a second year man. “Fritz,” otherwise known as “Tarzan,” was a reliable ground gainer at right half. He was chosen as half-back on the second all-state team. He is a Senior. Gustavus Funk, playing his first year on the team, was the utility man. He played end, cen- ter, tackle, half, or full, showing great ability at any one of them. “Gus” is a Junior and should be a valuable man in the back field next year. Hubert Smith, was another playing his first SENIOR BOOMER 27 year on the team, He was a reliable tackle and receiver. “Smitty” is a Senior and therefore will not he hack next year. Ray Pemvright also playing- his first year, play- ed a steady and reliable game at quarter. “Pen- nie” is a Junior and will be back next year. Sanford Babcock was a substitute for any place he was needed and always delivered the goods when he broke into the line-up. “Steve” is a Senior. Earl Penwriglit, John SJiaw, and Chester Mowre showed up well this season and should make somebody work if they beat them out of a place on next year’s team.

Bickford THE LEGES I) OF THE DA SEE OF PEACE Many, many years ago, there was constant war between Red Cloud and Black Serpent. Red Cloud’s people lived in the Land of Painted Mountains, while the tribe of Black Serpent lived far away in the Land of Peaceful River. V cry, very often, Black Serpent was defeated in these attacks because he was growing old and was no longer able to lead his warriors as suc- cessfully as he had once done. Also, there were more young braves in Red Cloud's tribe and the bold chief himself was young and brave. For a long time the attacks continued, for Red Cloud was carrying on the feud that had arisen between Black Serpent and Tall Bear, the father of Red Cloud. Then one day a great disgrace fell upon the Peaceful River people. Red Cloud’s warriors carried away with them, Morning Star, the daughter of Black Serpent and loveliest of Indian maidens. The heart of little Morning Star was very sore when she was taken, a captive, to the tents among the Painted Mountains. From the large tent where she was watched by an old squaw, called Walking Water, she could see the sun as he sank into the depths of blue, paint the dark mountains that seemed to lower so threateningly about her all day long, until they were radiant with color. And then the heart of Morning Star was comforted with hope and she prayed long into the night for the Great Spirit to deliver her. And thus, for many moons, the Morning Star waited for a rescue-party and as the winter wore into spring the hope grew stronger, for the ice on Peaceful River would be melting now and per- haps a band would come down the stream in their canoes. One day the great chief, Red Cloud, himself, who was returning from a long hunt, passed by her tent. He stopped for a moment and gazed in wonder at the lovely maiden. The warriors had told him how beautiful she was, but lie had never dreamed of beauty like this. Her hair was soft and black as the raven’s wing, and her dark eyes, like those of a startled deer, looked up at him as though begging mercy. The heart of Red Cloud, for the first time, was softened. The next day a message was brought to Morn- ing Star. She was to have her liberty if she would become the wife of Red Cloud. She pondered over this. It would seem very terrible to her own people, who hated the young chief. But Morning Star had long admired the young brave from the tent of her father and though she pined to be back again in the Land of Peaceful River, she ad- mitted that she loved Red Cloud. When the chief learned that the maid had ac- SEXIOK BOOMER 2!) cepted, he set the marriage for the day after the new moon, only a few days distant. He ordered preparations made for a great feast and celebration. When the sun had gone down up- on the scene of merriment and Morning Star had followed Red Cloud to his tent, she gazed up into his face in great fear and spoke softly. “Husband, may you not now, forgive my peo pie? Now that our tribes are united, let there be peace between the two great chiefs. As a gift to me on our wedding-day, this is all I ask.” Red Cloud smiled uj on the maid, an amused, relenting smile. “Let it be as you wish, Little One. There shall be peace between us. On the morrow I shall send a messenger to Black Serpent and tell him to come and bring the warriors of his tribe to smoke a peace-pipe. And thou, Little One, see that there be merry-making.” As he had said he would. Red Cloud sent for Black Serpent to come to his tents and make peace. On the morning of the peace-day, Red Cloud rode to the crest of a nearby hill to watch for the ponies that should l oar the chief and his war- riors to the Land of Painted Mountains. Slowly the line of ponies approached. When they drew up to the hillock on which Red Cloud had placed himself, Black Serpent dismounted and went to meet Red Cloud, who also dismount- ed and made the customary signs of peace. They approached the fire and took up the peace pipe which each smoked. Then it was passed to six of Black Serpent’s warriors and afterward, to six of Red Cloud’s braves. Then, as they gathered in a circle about the fire, a group of maidens with Morning Star at the head, approached and began to dance. Slowly they weaved in and out, chanting softly, then fast- er and faster they went, singing more gaily. Tt was a dance of pure joy and happiness. Round about the circle of warriors they wove faster and faster, then each fell to her knees and a chant arose to Manitou, for his blessings upon the al- liance of the tribes. When the last echoes of the chant had died away among the Painted Mountains. Red Cloud arose from his place by the fire and spoke, his dark face softened with a new light. “I proclaim the Dance of Peace a festival for ever)' twelfth moon. Each year we shall meet, here among the Painted Mountains, to celebrate together the day when we became brothers.” Thus goes the legend of the Dance of Peace as it is told in the Land of Peaceful River. —Ima Pennebaker SMART FOOTWEAR for Choice Occasions Let us cater to your Gradua- tion Wants.

The Club That Keeps the Cup” We opened for business last fall with a good number of old members present. Lewis McIn- tyre was chosen as president and Robert Harri- son as vice-president. ' Under their leadership the club soon had a full quota of members. There was quite a bit of competition in the club between members, striving to make the club debate team. At a final try-out Lewis McIntyre, Ellis Hannon and Frank Schmoyer were chosen to represent the club at the inter-club debate. The Forum won the cup and defeated the Senate team by a three-to-nothing decision. The next important event was the Forum banquet, which was declar- ed to be one of the best ever held in the high school. The club expects to win the cup for “keeps” next year, with the help of Mr. McGill as debate coach.

C. has been thorough- ly enjoyed by every member of the club. Rea- sons for this might be the character of the work and the work and the interest taken by all mem- bers. We have had as programs this year the lives and stories of various authors, such as O. Henry, Margaret Deland, Irvin Cobb, Mark Twain, Mary Robert Rinehart, and John Galsworthy. But our programs are not confined to stories for we also have musical programs, debates, and even story writing. But all work and no play makes Jack a dull hoy, and of course we have our social events. The first of these was the initiation of new members, held at the home of Frances Murphy. Then on the evening of October 27, we had a steak and cheese roast, at Legion Park which was greatly enjoyed. At the Christmas season we celebrated with our annual Christmas party. Games were played and everyone received a dainty present. On Tuesday, January 31, the B. M. C. enter- tained the Forum and Senate with a program and party. We arc sure the girls enjoyed it but the boys will have to speak for themselves. The Mother and Daughter banquet held April 22 ended our social events and was a fitting cli- max. Just ask any B. M. C. member if it wasn’t “grand.” Now, to the girls of the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior classes: As many of the members are Seniors this year and will not come back, there will be many vacancies to be filled next year. Let becoming a member of B. M. C. be one of your ambitions and may you derive from it the pleas- ure and benefits that the girls of 1921 and 1922 have enjoyed. 34 SENIOR BOOMER At Fryberger’s We are at your service for ORGANDIES, SWISSES —and all the items you may want in your preparation for this, the second “great event” of your lives. —Let us help in this second “great event.” At Fryberger’s THOMAS BENSON FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND EMBALMER Lady Assistant Private Ambulance Picture Framing Phone 120 101 No. Bickford PRESCRIPTION Service unbeatable, because unequaled. Quality drugs and character service, at MILLER’S DRUG STORE GIRL RESERVES OF THE Y. W. C. A. There have been three really important days for the Y. W. C. A. of E. II. S. Two have been during this year. The first was the day of its organiza- tion, the second, when it was changed to the Girl Reserves, and the third, the day it was divided into the Junior High and Senior High organi- zations. The Girl Reserves has been especially alive and peppy this year, under the sponsorship of Miss Berg and through the efforts of Helen Railsbaek, the president. At the first of the year a series of Friday night parties were given in the gym, which were high- ly successful and appreciated by all who chose to come. Every year each Y. W. C.

For this reason, only two repre- sentatives will l)e allowed from El Reno, and the lucky girls will have to absorb enough knowledge, information, fun and ideas to last all next year. The market value of the G. R. is prophesied to be higher next year, as the help of all the wo- men’s clubs of the city, who are interested in G. R. work, has been enlisted. Miss Witcher will again be the main connecting link between this year’s club and next year’s and we appreciate her interest in us. If all of this year’s members will get acquainted with the new members of 1923, and welcome them into the school, a new interest in the G. R. will lx built up, and the dreams of 1922, for a larger and, if possible, more successful organization may be realized.

J. G. TOMPKINS, Mgr. THE MUSK’ DEPARTMENT El Reno has never done much in the way of music until this year. But with Helen Berg as in structor the high school has put on a great many excellent programs. She started with short selections given in chapel by the different chorus classes. Almost immediately after school started a girls’ Glee Club was organized, which has worked hard throughout the year. The Glee Club sang several times in Chapel, and then contributed to the pro- grams in various places outside of the school. The Boys’ Glee Club has also been working hard although it has not made a public appear ance as vet. We expect to hear from it soon. Later in the year a Girls’ Quartet was organiz- ed and the girls have given several good numbers. The Cantata “Pan on a Summer Day,” was our one big thing of the year and was looked forward to by everyone. It was a Cantata in three parts, given by all the girls’ chorus classes. Tt. was the story of Pan, the god of music, awakening the world at dawn, when night flies away and the sunbeams steal down and chase away the dew- drops. A “Summer Shower” ends abruptly. At noon Pan, by the riverside lulls the world to sleep, and later in the afternoon a Great Storm frightens him. After the storm, Pan, coming through the woods, laments over a fallen oak. In the twilight, Pan pipes a serenade, only to hide when the moon slowly rises. Then all the world listens breathlessly while the spheres praise “Night.” We feel that the music department has made a great step forward over what it has been doing, and that we owe all our success to the wonderful ability plus the efforts of Miss Berg. A minister, with two lovely girls, stood en- tranced by the beauties of the stream. A fisher- man happening by and mistaking the minister’s occupation said, “Ketchin’ many, Paid?”' “I am a fisher of men,” answered the preacher with dignity. “Well,” replied the fisherman, with an admir- ing glance at the girls, “You sure have the right bait.” Pauline Gilbert : “What country has the short- est year?” Kitty Harrington: “I don’t know.” Pauline: “Italy. Every time you turn around you see a ‘Day-go’.” Helen Hanson: “What was that noise?” Lewis McIntyre: “Just someone falling asleep.” 36 SENIOR BOOMER You’ll Like these Points about our Shirt and Collar Service— •—a neater fit about the neck and shoul- ders. —a smarter looking cuff. —collars that allow the tie to slide easily.

S. 1ms engaged in more Forensic contests ;this year than ever before: .There have been eleven debates, six on foreign floors, and five at home. Four of these have been girls’ conference debates, four boys’ conference, one state district debate, and two invitation debates. The girl debaters broke even, winning from Oklahoma City and Shawnee at home, these two being the strongest in the conference. They lost to Guthrie and Enid away from home. The ques- tion that was debated by the girls was: “Resolv- ed, that the President and Vice-President of the United States should be nominated by a Direct Primary. The girls who were on the teams this year were: Marjory Dick, Leota Marsh, Lucy Ann Babcock, Louise Schroeder, Lottie Williams, and Mary Jane Babcock. Only two, Lucy Ann Babcock and Louise Schroeder, are Seniors, leaving four ex- perienced girl debaters for next year. The boys debated the question: “Resolved, that the government should own and operate the rail1 roads.’’ The boys did not come out so well as the girls, for the boys won oply one out of four de- bates. They lost to McAlester and Blackwell away from home, and Okmulgee at home. Their one victory was over Guthrie at home. All but one of the boys on the two teams were Seniors, Emmett Thompson, Fred Wewerka, Jos- eph Stackpole, Lewis McIntyre and Kenneth Cos- by being Seniors. The other one, Frank Schmoy- er, is a Sophomore. This year a silver loving cup was offered to the winners of the State debate contest on the Open Shop question. El Reno was matched with Yukon for the first debate, El Reno upholding the closed shop and Yukon the open shop. This team was made up of boys, Ellis Harmon, Sanford Babcock and Corwin Dick. Unfortunately for the boys, Yukon’s team was composed of three girls. By losing this debate we were eliminated from the contest. Two invitations were received from Marlow and Chickasha inviting El Reno’s debaters to debates. The one at Marlowe was forfeited by Marlowe. Ellis Harmon, Glenn Crawford and Corwin Dick were the team that went to Chicka- sha. They came home, however, without the de- cision of the judges. In spite of the fact that favorable decisions were not always given to El Reno’s teams by the judges, E. II. S. has produced some exceptionally fine debaters this year. Miss Misener, the debate coach for the last three years, has been a very fine coach, giving much of her time to the coaching of the teams, and it is SENIOR BOOMER 37 112 E.

When the call for basketball material was sounded, about six- ty reported, and only one of this number was a letter man. Randle’s final selections for the va- cant positions were: McDonald and Sawallisch, centers; Smith, Wheeler, and Funk, forwards; Hutson, Crawford and Ilarrison, guards; and McDougle, utility man. His selections proved good, for they won three of the four games on their trips and five of the six games at home. They won five of the seven conference games, playing the strongest teams in the conference. This gave them third place in the conference. The first game of the season found them play- ing with Yukon. They won this game easily—34- 14, but it gave Coach Randle a chance to pick out the defects and correct them. The neat week, Kingfisher came down with great expectations of a victory, but they went home with the little end of the score of 43-14. With this for a start the team went to Clinton for a game. The year before, Clinton was the seventh district champ, but after a fast and hard- fought game, El Reno came home with the big end of the score, 30-15. The next week, the first conference game was played, with Shawnee, at El Reno. With the memory of a defeat in football, at the hands of Shawnee, the boys were determined to win. The game was fast throughout, and ended with El Reno, 40, Shawnee, 27. With a thousand per cent in the conferencce standing, they went to Tulsa, for the second con- ference game. At the end of the game the score was a 20-20 tie, and an extra five-minute period was played, at the end of which El Reno was 31 and Tulsa 30. The following week, with a three-game sched- ule for that week, the team went to Okmulgee, winning 30-22. They crossed over to Blackwell for a game, and at its end, they stopped to realize that it was an- other of those tie games, 16-10. In the play-off they lost their first game of the season, 18-17. SEXTOR ROOMER 39 That Friday, they played Oklahoma City on El Reno’s court. After the long trips of that week, the team was not at its best and lost the game, which was very hard fought, by the score 40-22. Oklahoma City played a brand of ball seldom shown by a high school. They later became state champions. The next game was with Guthrie, at El Reno. It was a fast game, but lacked the thrills of some of the games before it. El Reno broke its losing streak and won, 38-27. The last scheduled game was with Blackwell, at El Reno. As Blackwell had earlier in the sea- son defeated El Reno, the team was bound for revenge. The game was the fastest of the season, and E. II. S. never stopped until the last whistle blew and the score was El Reno, 36, Blackwell, 28. 1922 RECORD: El Reno 34 El Reno 13 14 El Reno 30 15 27 El Reno 31 Tulsa 30 22 El Reno 1? 18 El Reno 22 40 El Reno 38 27 El Reno 36 28 El Reno 321 Opponents 235 The sixth district tournament was heh 1 at El Reno for the fourth consecutive time.

The prospects were not very bright, as there was not a man in school who had ever made a track letter. The first track meet was with the Concho Indian school. Al- though El Reno lost the meet 55 to 41, it proved that El Reno has some real track men, they placed first in all track events except tin hundred-yard dash. The weak spot in the team seemed to be the weight men. Raymond Kitzmiller was the individual star of the meet, with first in the 220- vard, dash, first in 440-yard dash, second in the 100-yard dash and finished the relay 14 yards ahead of his man.

We started the year right by electing Joseph Stackpole, our old re- liable leader, as president. The other officers, Leslie O’Brien, vice-president; Corwin Dick, sec- retary-treasurer; Fred Wewerka, reporter, and Emmett Thompson, sergeant-aLarms, also did much to bring about the dignity of the Senate. We began early acquiring the feasting habit, devastating twenty-five watermelons at the third meeting. Not more than a month later, we tried our luck at the weiners and marshmallows, and did very well, indeed. Preparations at once began for the downfall of the Forum, and the winning of the cup. Six boys were chosen to contend for the places on the Sen- ate team and training began in earnest. Finally, Malcom Phelps, Corwin Dick and Joseph Stack- pole were chosen by the Senate to represent them in the inter-club debate. Alas, the story is too sad to tell. At any rate, on the twenty-third of Jan- uary, the judges disagreed with the Senate and the cup was doomed to wear the red and black colors for another year. The Senate banquet was a well arranged af- fair and went through nicely. We felt proud that night that even though the Forum could win the cup, they couldn’t gather as good-looking a bunch of girls together as we could. The beginning of the second half of the year marked a great improvement in the manner of preparing to win the cup. A long system of de- bates among the Junior members preparing them to cop the cup next year was scheduled with a valuable prize to the winners. The race is now drawing to a close and Hay Bannister and Wayne O’Neil will debate the two victors next week for the prize. We re-elected Joe as president and placed our younger members in the remaining offices. Frank Clarke, vice-president, Harold Johnson, secre- tary-treasurer, Hay Bannister, reporter, and Earl Stone sergeant-at-arms, completed the staff. The B. M. C. set up the eats to us and did al- most as well as the Senate could have done. The Father and Son banquet was a success, thanks to the ingenuity of the Senate, and the help of the Public Speaking class. The eats were very well served and were good, those being the Ijcst we had had since our own banquet. Talks by Mr. O’Neil, John Pierce, Sanford Babcock, William White, Miss Misener and members of the faculty were enjoyed. A snappy debate featuring Mr. Bradshaw was also decidedly interesting and informing. We are planning to have one more feast on whatever we can find in the Senate coffers and then we Senators will have to bid goodby to the Senior members. We are full of confidence for next year’s suc- cess and pity the Forum. Our sponsor, we are sure, will put the Senate over for a victory. We thank Mr. Bradshaw and the Public Speaking class for what they have done for us and bid them goodby until next year.

ROBERT FARRIS WINS THRIFT CONTEST Ranking first place in the entire state in his es- say on the subject of “Thrift,” Robert Farris, 16-year-old son of V. S. Farris, real estate dealer of El Reno, has received the state prize of $100 for his composition which won first place in the county contest. As he won $7.50 as a prize for the best essay in the county contest his total earnings amount to $107.50. The essay contest on the thrift subject has been carried on by the Oklahoma thrift committee in order to encourage habits of thrift among the school children. Forty-eight counties participated in the contest, each county selecting its three best compositions to enter in the state contest. In the county event, Robert Farris won first; Sanford Babcock, second; and Boyd Simpson of Piedmont, third. Robert Farris is a junior in El Reno high school and he resides at 802 South Williams. He is stu- diously inclined, and since the death of his moth- er about a year ago, has had almost whole care of his two younger brothers and a sister. He ex- pects to enter the University of Oklahoma after graduation from the local high school, and in spite of his literary attainments, has an ambition to become a chemical engineer. The winning composition as submitted by the El Reno boy, tells in narrative style a story of how a few simple thrift rules brought about a change in the life of a failure, with ultimate suc- cess as the result. So well was the subject han- dled that the committee of judges sent two of their number over here to investigate, on the grounds that the essay was too mature in thought for a high school student. They returned satisfied that the boy was deserving of all of the credit. AND THEN THE SUICIDE Gus: “Do you know, Harriet, you look simply charming this evening!” II.: “Nonsense. Stop your spoofing.” Gus: “No, but you do, really.
