Every regulation owes its existence to this spirit; every teacher cooperates to make it thrive; every boy and every girl understands that it is the basis of every school decision. This unseen, yet all prevading spirit is a thing of beauty, a precious possession that we would not let go; a benediction to our labor; a beacon on the road of life’s accomplishment. 9 And because that spirit has been his gift to El Ileno High School, the Senior Class dedi- cates its Senior Roomer of 1925 to PRINCIPAL LEON J. DEM INC JDCtpUUJ ‘SuiUldQ f UOd J Foreword. AN unfailing courage and a fight against ob- stacles, a striving for order from chaos, and above all, a reaching for perfection ever beyond grasp—these are the embodiment of the West. El Reno High School, too, has fought against obstacles, and because throughout it has held to its faith with the courage that does not weaken, the obstacles have been surmounted. It has striven for order and finally order has been attained; it has reached for perfection and in its reaching has more nearly achieved that perfection. And so, since these things which are character- istic of the Western spirit are symbols also of E. H. S., the Annual Staff has combined the ideas of the West with its 1925 Senior Boomer. It has at- tempted to shut within the pages of a book, as far as such a thing is possible, the ideals of a school— the serious, the humorous, the ridiculous and the sublime. May those who read this book find there- in the beauty, the visions, and the sublimity that mark the progress of El Reno High School.

During the entire school year they have display- ed their pep in every chapel, and no single class has been able to out-yell them. Gordon seems to put enthusiasm into his classmates when they haven’t any at all and it is largely due to him that the Freshmen have made up so many new yells and have been so successful in yelling. : iiiiiiiniiimmiiHiiniiiiNimmmiininiiimiiumimii'iiHiiiiiiiimiiMiiMMimmiHiiimiiiimiiiimimnMMiniiiiiii SENIOR BOOMER’25 37 .........................................IMI.....I..........Illlllllllll.....1111111......HI.....I.................................................•Illlll....1111111111....Illllll H IMI Hiimiiiiiummiimmmmiliiimiilliliuli.i inii m n i m mini n mi mi m i m i n urn 11 m iitim I mil tiiiinimm imimimi iiiiimmiiiiii iniiii u i-ni'u m i .1 n 11 inn n u n H J-J Freshman Class TOP ROW: Harley Bishop, Roy Joule, Kendall Pitman, Ruth Smith.

In After Days! IN after days when I come back, When I come back to school, I want to see the kids a-learnin , Leamin’ from my high school. I want to see some cheery faces, Faces laughin’ like our own, I want to see a thousand faces, Smilin’, as I return, alone. I want to see the honors soarin’ Higher than the highest cloud; I want to see the pop and ginger, The spirit that made us all so proud. I’d like to hear a good pep chapel, A chapel where they’d yell so loud, That old E. H. S. would just spread out, Great as ’twas with our fine crowd. —THOMAS CUBBAOfi. :iiiiiiMHlliliniaiiiiiiiiNiiiiiimiiitiiiiiiimiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiniiimiiiiiiimiiiiMiiinmiiiniii.imniiiiiiiiiiiM CO o EIGHTH GRADE GIRLS TOP ROW: Elizabeth Fisher.

President Florence McCay Secretary Vivienne Smith . Vice-President Mr. Doming .... Treasurer The duties of the Student Council during 1924-25 have been principally those of handling the money and making both ends meet.” an important position which it has filled admirably. „ The Duck Inn Carnival” was conducted under the direction of the Council, and all other projects of the school are subject to its jurisdiction. A great deal of credit is due f the members for the success of the entertainments they sponsored and the business finances of the school. BOOSTER CLUB As the Boosters are El Reno High School’s one pep organization, the membership is not limited to any particular class, but is selected in assembly from the entire student body. Those elected this year were: Thomas Cubbage. Pauline Weldon. Jim B. Smith. Mildred Streeter. Genevieve Johnson. Corder Paulsen. Lorene de Atley. Austin Minton. Kenneth Kalbfleisch. Sue Meadows. Gordon Rice. Pauline Rector, Leota Marsh, Wilma Heer. Edward Gates. Paul Moon. The Annual Pep Parade and several other activities were successfully directed by the Rooster Club, and the new pep club has therefore firmly established itself in active high school life.

Chloe Armstrong and Edna Myers, affirmative, and Ruth Mowre and Gladys Pavy, nega- tive. debated the question. “Resolved. That the President of the United States shall be elected for a Single Term of Six Years,” with two victories and four defeats. The first debate of the season was with Enid. The affirmative team journeyed there and the negative girls remained at El Reno. Enid won both contests, the decis- ions being 2 to 1 at Enid and 3 to 0 here. The second school to lock horns with us was Blackwell, whom we defeated with a 2 to l'and a 3 to 0 decisions. The last debate was with Oklahoma City who carried off all the honors, winning 2 to 1 at El Reno and 3 to 1 0 on their home platform. None of the four girls on the teams had had any previous experience in debating. and taking everything into consideration, this season’s work is one of the most remark - able in the history of El Reno girls' debate. 1 iiiiimiiiiiMiMimiitiitiiM ROYS' DERATE ('(INFERENC E The Boys’ Debate Teams, composed of Charles Armstrong and Robert Mecaskey. af- firmative. and Ray Bannister and Paul Moon, negative, were unusually successful this year with the question. Resolved. That All Immigration shall be Prohibited from the United States for a period of Five Years,” being the winners in the El Reno-Enid-Black- well-Guthrie quadrilateral. The teams began the season in the proper manner by defeating Guthrie in both de- bates. In the second debate, which was with Enid, the El Reno teams lost both with 2 to 1 decisions, our affirmative team making the trip to Enid. The third debates were with Blackwell, and the saying about revenge being sweet was amply demonstrated, ac- | cording to the debate boys, when five of the six decisions were in El Reno’s favor. These victories placed El Reno in the finals for the state title. Then came the triangular debates between El Reno. Oklahoma City, and Okmulgee for the state championship. El Reno went under, suffering a heavy defeat with both teams. She did not win a decision. Oklahoma City was the winner of the champion- i ship title. Miss Myrtle Brazil coached both team� , and all four boys declare that it was be- | cause of her interest and enthusiasm that they were able to do so well. gj il tlll.llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIMlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIMIIIMIIIIII:llllltMIIIIIIIIIIIIMIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIHIIIIIIimBI wft 58 SENIOR BOOMER '25 ......................mi......................... Vocational Agriculture Class MMNMINNMIMUMIINI The Vocational Agriculture Class, which is an entirely masculine organization, concerns itself primarily and almost exclusively with stock. The results of its activities this year, which were mainly tiie care and fattening of thirty-six baby beeves, demonstrates the relation be- tween theory and practice. The project had its beginning in July when I the company organized under the direction of Mr. J. B. Perky and bought the feed. The calves arrived September twentieth and were carried on full feed until March first when they were taken to Okla- homa City and exhibited at the Southwestern Livestock Show. They were sold at public auction. The calves took a prize of $70 at this show. The ten most uniform calves took fourth place at the county exhibit and fifteen entered in open classes placed third. The project returned upward of $700 profit and was equally as profitable in experience and I instruction. That El Reno ranks among the best in producing livestock judges is proved by the fact that the judging team won one state championship 1 and was beaten only by two teams when forty-four competed. The judging team, which is composed of Karl Wilantt, Charles Armstrong j and Clarence Royse, won $25 in prize money.

Membership in both is limited, and was chosen early in the year, the Glee Clubs beginning work practically at the opening of school. The Girls' Glee Club meets the last half of every fifth period, except Mnday. ami two activity periods, Wednesday and Thursday, are reserved for the Boys' Glee Club. The Glee Clubs, like all other musical organizations in the school, are under the supervision of Miss Helen Crumbaugh. and have been exceptionally well handled. ItllllMllimilinHHIlHMIK The Orchestra The Orchestra was the only musical organization of its kind In school this year, the band that was begun earlier in the year by an out-of-town director having been discon- tinued. It was organized soon after school opened and made its first appearance in chapel on October 31st with an exceptionally enjoyable program. Since then it has played for many school entertainments, several functions given by the citizens of El Reno, and for the students in chapel; and undoubtedly furnishes the most popular musical entertainment in El Reno High School. The Instrumentation of the Orchestra is as follows: Saxophone—Maurice Schroeder Arthur Potts. Beatrice Kenaga; First Violins--Everett McCully, Margaret Wlard, Mary Ann Staig. Paul Jensen; Second Violins—Pauline Rector. Marion Faris. Pauline York. Lavina Swanson; Clarinet—Cecil Meadors; Cornet—Wayne Leach. Marshon De Pols- ter; Trombone—Rex Gephart, Arthur King. Andrei Forness; Drums—Dick Musgrave; Piano—Miss Crumbaugh; Banjo—Fermon Allen. Elmer Bannister. Kenneth Kalbfieisch. miMtiniiMiiMimiMHMiti Quartettes The Boys’ and Girls’ Quartettes were not organized until the second semester, but since then they have been doing work that is more than enough to make up for lost time. Four of the Glee Club’s best singers. Bennett Musgrave. Horace Hall.

I eota Marsh. Helen Snodgrass. Ellen Rice, and Loretta Whitacre possess voices that blend beautifully In the Girls’ Quartette, and have given several enjoyable numbers dur- ing the past semester.

Though it was the first musical comedy the school lias ever given with- 1 out the assistance of an outside director, Miss Crumbaugh and Miss Brazil managed the production so deftly that no amateur characertis- istics were present, and the three performances brought satisfying fi- ll nancial returns. The stage setting in the first act was that of a Gypsy camp, and the lighting effect as the curtain rose was one of wondrous beauty. The second and third acts had the more formal setting of an English draw- ing room, a fitting place for the lost heir, Rob, to come into his own. Bennett Musgrave, as Gypsy Rob, later Sir Gilbert TTowe, was the hero of the story and his pleasing tenor voice made him admirably suit- ed to the part. Taking the role of Lady Constance opposite him was Leota Marsh. She was at her best in all three performances, her voice having a smooth clear quality that everyone loves to hear. The other leads in the play were acted admirably by Sylvia Rum- felt, as Meg; Orthello Noah, as Marto, her husband; Mildred Streeter and Dwight Stanley, as Zara and Sinfo, the Gypsy lovers; Allison Clark, as Lord Craven, the English fop; Weiland Jeide, as Sir George Martindale; Helen Witcher, as Nina; Horace Hall, as Captain Je- rome; LeRoy MeCay, as Sir Toby Lyon; and Allen Smith as McCorkle. The proceeds from the “Gypsy Rover” were used by the school to send contestants to the Interscholastic Meet at Norman, and El Reno High School is greatly indebted to the Glee Clubs, not only for a splen- | did performance but for making participation in these contests possible.

Here as you approach, I wonder Is your beauty lasting . . . here to stay, Or will your charms fall asunder As the flowers that bloom in May? I take a look more searching, And my answer I see clear, More fair than the rose thou’rt besmirching, It will remain to brighten thy bier.

H. S. Roomer and the Annual Senior Roomer. The class had a noble beginning, and has been progressing in the same way ever since. The two publications have been worked on faithfully, and the members of the class, assisted by Miss Rose Witch- er, learned many of the principles of journalism in the course of the process. E. H. S.

Business Mgr. ..Bud Babcock Financial Sec’y____Kenneth Kalbflelsch Circulation Manager_____Leon Wayland The first Boomer of the year was publish- ed on September 23rd. and continued to come out on every Tuesday following, promptly at the last half of the fifth period. Special assignments were given each mem- ber of the class more or less regularly, and in order to relieve the monotony of mere work, and to bring the pressure to bear on those not working, an editor, and special staffs were periodically appointed to put out an issue or two. Among those making a particular success of this business were John Morris. Bud Babcock. Earl Corlee, Ken- neth Kalbflelsch. Wanita Carpenter, ami Lee Pitman, who put out the Christmas edition. Earl Corlee was feature editor and Kenneth Kalbflelsch wrote up the society notes, which simply is another demonstration of the old proverb “You never can tell”. This Christmas edition, by the way. was the most ambitious enterprise attempted by the news writing class during the year. It was a six-page paper, and contained an un- usual amount of decorated ads. news, pic- tures. and literary material. Due to financial difficulties the Boomer was forced to transfer its printing from the El Reno American to the People’s Press, and in changing the form of Its paper, lost Its opportunity to compete In the meet at Nor- man. ANNUAL STAFF CHOSEN Work on the Senior Boomer is pro- gressing rapidly under the complete ! staff which is as follows: Clarice Ellsworth, editor-in-chief. Bob Mecaskey. assistant editor.

Smith, circulation. 8-----------------------------------------« For the first time since 1920 the weekly and annual publications have as their edi- tors two separate and distince individuals, and It is therefore to be expected that both publications and both editors would suffer less and publish more. Such is the case with the Senior Boomer. The staff was elected in October and began work immediately. It has been doing that ever since. The photographs were done by the Shuck Studio, the cuts were made by the Bureau of Engraving at Oklahoma City, and the print- ing is the work of the El Reno American. The business end of the Annual had like- wise an independent manager and the fact that she and her more-than-able assistants gave so much time to the project made pos- sible the realization of any new ideas the editorial staff may have thought it had. To Bennett Musgrave properly belongs the glory of the advertising section. (Were it less glorious, neither it nor Bennett would be mentioned here.) Anyway, it is all over; the reader has the results in his hand; so that is all. However, this has been a very fine news- paper year, so far as the Boomer is con- cerned. and the news writing class’s one hope is that those to come will creditably follow its shining example.

There have been many hard roads to travel, but with this faithful guide, the goal has been attained at all times. The world knows of El Reno because she has maintained a true spirit of sports- manship. It has been a pleasure to have been connected witn a school composed of young men and young ladies who can fight hard and fight clean for the things that are right. To those men who have represented E. H. S. in athletics anti fought the battles, not to have had the largest score at all times, but to always win in sportsmanship, I extend to you my sincere appreciation for what you have done and my heartiest congratulations on your achievements.

I Thomas Cubbage, the senior elected, held the position of gen- eral manager, and Bill Custer, Leland Turnipseed, Claude Foster, and Andrei Forness, the sophomore and junior managers, respectively, aet- Ied as assistants to Tom and the team. A few of the various ami sun- dry jobs falling to the athletic managers are: carrying water to the team, furnishing transportation to the field for visiting teams, meeting and entertaining the visiting teams, being in the dressing room before all games to assist the coach and see that all men are properly taped, making hotel reservations for home team in rival towns, finding the best place in that town for the team to eat, and all other duties (and some more) that fall to a business manager. Thomas Cubbage has made a most unusual success of this difficult position, and the high school, to express its appreciation presented him with a letter and sweater along with the basketball letter men. 1__________________________________________________________________________ .....................................................................iii.iiiiMiiiiimiiimiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiimimmiiiiiiiiiHiiiiitiiiuiininHiiitmiii Kenneth Kalbfleisch Yell Leader Kennie Kalbfleisch, El Reno High School’s 1925 yell leader, is the kind of a pep specialist that a school hates to lose, for a GOOD CHEER LEADER is the greatest asset that any school or college can have.

Here Sklllern faced his gravest prob- lem of the year, to pick from this throng of material eleven men, on whom the destinies of El Reno's football season would rest. Al- though El Reno did not win the title, she was not dismayed by hard luck, and was one of the most ardent contenders for the Con- ference flag. After four weeks of gruelling practice Sklllern’s warriors made their debut” on the gridiron with Kingfisher as their guests, and Kingfisher hardly proved the locals’ equals, losing to their superiors. 21 to 0. Jim E. Smith took the lead in the attack. Willingham carried the brunt of the at- tack against Thomas, the following Friday. Vln the most disagreeable game of the season, marred by high winds and dust. Despite these disagreeable conditions El Re- no proved that she was to have one of the strongest “passing machines” in the conference, advancing most of her plays in this manner and winning han- dily 19 to 0. The team worked like a clock in its second game, displaying Its superior- ity in all points of the game. The Indians skipped a week, before their final preliminary game, with Chickasha. pre- ceding their Central Conference schedule, and although the locals copped another game. 12 to 10. it was a costly victory, at the expense of Willingham, breaking a collar- bone when tackled by Chickasha’s safety after a spectacular 35 yard run-on a pass. Skillern’s warriors carried their chain of victories on and into the Central Conference percentage column, but at the same f) time carried with them their “injury ' Jinx, for they lost the services of Hig- by. quarter, in scrimmage with Shaw- nee. but at the same time found the services of Glass, who creditably filled the wide gap left by Willingham and shared honors in the 12 to 0 victory, on his return to the lineup. Captain Mc- Donald played the stellar role, by constant gains and effective punting. The next four games that followed were strictly conference games, a 6 to 6 tie with Enid, a scoreless tie with Guthrie, a defeat at the hands of Blackwell, 60 to 2, and a 14 to 0 loss to the Oklahoma City Cardinals. The remaining two non-conference games re- sulted in the short end of the 6 to 0 score with Ardmore and the final triumph over the Alumni, in the Turkey Day game at home. In the game with Enid that followed, with a crippled team it was a fight to down McLean, nevertheless they battled the Enid team for even honors to a 6 to 6 tie. Butler played the dynamo for the locals, for all plays were centered around “Bone”. In a still more weakened condition, caused by the absence of McDonald, the team still fought and held Guthrie to a scoreless tie in the last home game of the season, until the final Thanksgiving Day fray. Fighting their utmost, the local grid- sters. were unable to cope with the terrific scoring machine of Blackwell, in their first trip from home, and yielded for the first time of the season to the small end of the score. 60 to 2. Kennedy and Bannis- ter were forced out in the first half, because of injuries. Skillern’s men also dropped their last conference game to the Oklahoma City Car- dinals in a sea of mud. and in a hard-fought game resulting 14 to 0. Although Kennedy's and Pearl’s work was not spectacular, the Cardinals earned all the yardage made over and around them. As they carried in a winning streak, they also carried out with them a losing chain which followed them to Ardmore, the locals losing a close contest to the Tigers. 6 to 0. The Indians threw the jinx” in the final game, however, and took the long end of the score from the Old-Timers. 20 to 0. In the local park on Thanksgiving Day. The men who received letters were Cap- tain Alva McDonald. Hugh Wil- lingham. Edward Hunnicutt. Captain-elect Marion Higby. El- mer Bannister. William Glass. James B. Smith. Edgar Pearl. Roy Putler, Garland Porter. Earl Clark. Glenn Bishop. Clarence Kennedy. Harley Bishop. Ray Armstrong and Lee Pitman. Of these men four are lost by graduation and one by age. At the close of the season Mar- ion Higbv was chosen to captain the team for next year.

He was picked by the Oklahoman as fullback on the mythical All- West Central Conference Team, and as stated by sport writers he was a versatile triple threat man as he excelled in passing, kicking and run- ning with the ball. This is Bro’s senior year. JIM B. SMITH Jim B. played his first year during the 1925 season and was one of the nerviest men on right end yet produced. With next fall’s prac- tice experience. Jim will be one of the very best eleven on the E. H. S. team and the man- ner in which he will make things lively for the op- posing team is material for pleasant speculation. JIM E. SMITH Jim E. Smith’s services on left-end were also recognized by the Oklahoman, giving him an honorable mention on their mythical All-Confer- ence eleven. Country Jim” has had two years of service, always playing a superior defensive game and never lacking in the spirit of the game. El Reno High School loses Jim E. this year by graduation. GLENN BISHOP Glenn Bishop was the first on the broken- bone list, breaking his collar bone in practice, but came back for more before the season was over. Glenn was one of the biggest and most dependable subs carried for the line, and should be in a regular uniform next year. EDGAR PEARL Pearl was another old head in the line, hav- ing won letters for two years, and the line will again feel the weight of Boots”, since he will don the same blue-and-white for the same po- sition In the fall. “Boots” Pearl has already played a game that will be remembered, and his bulk will be a welcome defense. MARION HIGBY Higby failed to complete his third football season falling a victim to the broken-bone” jinx and was forced from the lineup early in the season. However, Hig was a crafty quar- ter, handling the team in marvelous shape, as well as being a heavy hitter and punting the line on every play. Marion was chosen to suc- ceed McDonald as captain for the ensuing year. ROY BUTLER Butler won a promotion from the second string and started the year as right guard. He soon won a regular birth by never shrinking from his job of holding up his part of the line. Roy is another loss through graduation and it will be felt keenly. WILLIAM GLASS Glass was a savior for the back-field at a critical time, taking Hugh’s place at left-half, and on his return netting a neat gain on prac- tically every play with equal credit to end and broken field runs. Bill was a one-year man and should make a big hit in the Central Con- ference next year. min mimi 11 mm ii i imi ii 11 min i mi mu i lini SENIOR BOOM ER ’25 83 immiiiiiMimiiiiiiiiiMMiiiimiMiiimiiimiiiiiiiiiiiidiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmimiiiMiimmMiiiiiMMHHiiiiiM RAY ARMSTRONG Armstrong was a new recruit, but played a creditable game after Hlgby’s injury, as the brains of the team.” Ray is a hard-hitter and will be one of the most remarkable players to return to the game next year. He is a junior, and El Reno High School is expecting great things of him. EARL CLARK Earl Clark played his first game this year at right tackle. Earl is a big “old boy” and al- ways stood his ground against the heaviest on- slaughts of the heavier back field. Clark would look good in the lineup next year. ELMER BANNISTER Bannister was a veteran of the line, playing his third year at left tackle, and was a man who could successfully block any attack. He is a man filled with the spirit of the game, and kept the team full of pep in every play. Monk” is only a junior and should make quite a rec- ord as a senior in his old place. GARLAND PORTER Porter played the general utility man of the squad, taking any position at any time. Gar- land had lots of experience as a second string man and was able to get one year with the best. “Porky” should go good next year, and the school expects to see him develop into one of the first men on the squad. CLARENCE KENNEDY Kennedy took up his position without much recommendation, but proved his stuff and be- came one of the most dependable centers in the western division of the Conference. Very few bobbles can be checked against him and he played an all round game. Clarence is a senior but in his single year of play he developed into a fine football man. LEE PITMAN Pitman was the strongest of the little subs” carried this last year for the back-field. Lee was another graduate from the second squad and made a good showing on his rise. Lee will be lost by graduation, but another year should see him in a regular position, could he stay. HARLEY BISHOP Harley was another little man of the first string subs but in the game he fought the big- gest to a draw. Harley usually took an end and never made a failing. He is another who will look good in uniform when he returns next year. EDDIE HUNNICUTT Eddie Hunnicutt tore loose on his second year as right half by riddling every line in the conference with his heavy line blows, ripping it open in every attack. Eddie has become over aged since last season, but he should be an as- set to the back field of any school he may enter. HUGH WILLINGHAM Willingham was another regular who fell a victim to injuries, but while with the team he was El Reno’s surest bet on an end run. being exceptionally fast and accurate with a ball. Hugh was a holdover with one stripe and will be back for play again next fall. 84 SENIOR BOOMER 25 ..................MIIIMIIIIIIIIMIIIIMI............................... HIM........................... .... Second Team Foot Ball HiniHininimiiiiuMinui In as much as the second team is for the purpose of training young- sters in the fundamentals of football, the season was a perfect success, having played several good games and acting as dummies for the first string bunch. The seconds opened their season with a reversal, administered by Union City, 32-13, but the score fails to give the credit where it is due, the locals having outplayed their opponents in every point of the game but failing miserably in the pinches. With a weakened team and few subs, Coach Nichol’s men again fell short of the 26-7 score, to the Green- field High. Captain Foster was outstanding in his play until forced out by injuries. Failing to break their jinx, the “Papooses” lost the third in a row to Minco, 6-0, in which luck played the biggest feature in the defeat. The team fought hard to overcome the superior weight of the opposition, and had outplayed them, throwing them for loss after loss in the shadow of the goal, until a lucky pass brought the losing score. XT- Nick’s eleven staged a comeback in the last game of the season and avenged themselves of the defeat at Union City, l eing masters of the game throughout, and winning easily, 14-0. Although its games were not all won, the second team helps ma- terially to make the future football men for the high school, and the school owes a lot to these fellows who make possible a first team. iiHiiiHiiituiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiianiiiiiitiminiM SENIOR ROOMER 2 5 85 ' PARING into consideration the combination A of Coach Skillern and the team, with their fight and determination, there is nothing sur- prising in the fact that these ten men hung be- fore the attention of every sport fan and high school in the U. S. a record that will stand un- deflable to every point in athletics, namely sportsmanship and teamwork. It is a great honor to win second highest honors in a tourna- ment represented by the strongest teams in America but it is a higher honor to be able to say that our team came through with an un- tainted record. The following, in brief, is a record of the season that can speak only for itself. The In- dians took the first three games, one from King- fisher. 28 to 14, and two from Norman, one here 24-11. and the other on the University court. 25-10: but there was somewhat of an up- set of dope when they dropped the first game of the Central Conference to Blackwell in a rough and tumble. 16-13. Skillern’s men next toppled the “Oklahoman” dope the following Friday when they handed the Central Cards a lacing 17-13. The defense was impregnable, holding the mighty visitors to only a pair of field goals, the other scores being made on free throws. The remaining games, until the national tourney, were complete victories for the tribe. Following O. C. El Reno took one from Guth- ♦ rie, 21-14. before entering an invitation tournament at Edmond, and started the tourney blasting Waurika's hopes in the first round 34-12. the boys repeated on Union City. 26-9, followed by Rush Springs. 36-6. Sperry. 30-16, and smoth- ered Fairfax. 22-9. in the concluding — game. In the first annual free throw contest, a feature of the tournament. Bill Glass tied Lewis Bullet of Dewey, it out of 25 Attempts. However Glass lost by the flip of a coin. Resuming their march towards Central Con- ference Championship where they had left it. the Indians trounced the Shawnee Wolverines” 31-15. (led in the scoring by Willingham with 15 points), and Enid “Eagles” in a whirlwind at- tack. 29-9. (led by the invincible three. Willing- ham. Glass and Higby). Here the season struck its first rut, for it was necessary to do without the services of Myers in both the final Oklahoma City and the Tulsa games until it could be proved that he was eligible to play, with the threat of having to forfeit all games in which he had played un- less a decision could be reached otherwise. Be- fore the decision was handed out and even with- out the services of “Lorry”. El Reno won the lead of the Western division from Oklahoma City on the Guthrie court. 19-16. in which Smith featured by his fight and determination, and the Central Conference crown from Tulsa. 19-14, and established the supremacy of the Indians in the C. C. for the first time since 1920. Sklllern’s men retained the district tourna- ment title the following week by winning from Watonga in the first round. 19-10. Omega. 34-19. and Kingfisher in the finals. 27-12. The Indians were nev- er forced to their utmost during the tournament and did not display the flash that featured their other games. But the team individually played as usual. Glass and Myers exhibiting spectacular floor work.. Willingham scoring and Smith and Higby pre- senting a stone wall defense. After rounding into shape following the Dis- trict Tournament and rather than take a pos- sible state title, when here was a question of eligibility El Reno voluntarily withdrew from the tournament at Stillwater, and established a precedent for true sportsmanship that will live forever in the eyes of state officials. Not dismayed by the happenings of the pre- ceding week. Skillern marched his tribe to Chi- cago and on through to the finals of the Na- tional Scholastic tournament and won second place for the school and state out of forty-two competing teams, including state champions and runners-up. with exceptional records. From the beginning the locals were picked as win- ners and were the favorites of practically every fan. All games played were featured by two main things—fight, sportsmanshio and taking the games as they were played, the scores showing the validity of this statement, five in a row—the Indians won easily from Lakewood. Ohio, in the opener. 16-8: repeated in the sec- ond by subduing Marshalville. Ga.. 39-13: same story from Greeley. Colo., in the third. 16-6. and found the most trouble up to the time in beat- ing the Wyoming Westerners, from Laramie, in an extra five minute period. 19-13: and they landed their fifth victory on Wheeler. Miss., in the semi-finals. 29-23. Wichita brought the Wa- terloo” but at the same time El Reno was forc- ed from the highest place by a bigger and older bunch, taking the small end of a harder fought game than the score really indicates. 27-6. For the second highest honors In basketball that the nation has to offer, the El Reno five were awarded a large silver trophy, a regular sized basketball, and individual trophies. These are to be placed along with two other cups for the season’s work—as leaders and from the Dis- trict Tournament. Beside all these are the hon- ors to three of the squad—Myers as all-Ameri- can guard. Willingham. all-American center, and Higby as guard in the honorable mentions. 86 SENIOR BOOMER’25 !

SMITH Smith broke in his lirst year as Higby's running mate, and Jim's end of the pair was nev- er found to lag. It is a shame that Smith will not return next year, for with all the exper- ience gained during the 1925 season, a � «I with his unconquerable light, there is no guard to equal him. Jim 15. is known as the man who smiles as he lights , and In every game he has won the admiration of the crowd by his sports- manship and his smile. CART.

The pillar of defense will fall on the shoulders of Hig next year and even greater things than the line stuff he has dis- played this season Is ex- pected of him during 1926. LAWRENCK MYERS Lorry” was chosen as all-American guard at the national meet In Chi- cago. Myers played a smooth game, has an eye for the basket, and is one of the most consist- ent youngsters the state has ever seen. With two more years of training Myers will have abso- lutely no equal in exist- ence. immMWMMIIIIIIIUMmiMIMIIl'MMIMIMNIIIINHj?

About Us! LETTER FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO (From Amos Alonso Stagg, Premier Coach and Sportsman of America) DEAR MR. DEMING: It is a matter of considerable pleasure to me to express my hearty congratulations to you. to your team, to your coach, to the members of your school, as well as to your city and state for the great triumph which the El Reno High School Rasketball Team achiev- ed in winning second place in the National High School Basketball Tournament. I want particularly to congratulate you on the universally fine conduct and sports- manship of the members of your team. Your boys made a fine impression as young gen- tlemen and sportsmen throughout the tournament and their great victory can therefore always be a matter of most genuine satisfaction. Sincerely. AMOS ALONZO STAGG, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. HONORING EL RENO (Editorial in the Daily Oklahoman) A LL Oklahomans should lift their hats to that brilliant squad of basketeers from El Reno High School who entered the national basketball tournament at Chicago Univer- sity and let all America know of their courage and their skill. It was no easy prob- lem those lads from El Reno faced; they were pitted against the best high school tal- ent on the continent. But the size of obstacle encountered only enhanced the glory they won and merely gives their friends and neighbors in Oklahoma additional reason for being proud of the El Reno team. Not only has the El Reno contingent learned how to win. but it has also learned how to win in a clean way. On their own motion they voluntarily surrendered a state cham- pionship when they accidentally learned that one of their players was over age. Per- haps that was a greater victory than those they won in Chicago, for in keeping their record clean they showed that they thought more of honor than of athletic success. All honor, then, to the El Reno team and to Its upright management. GLORY THAT WILL NOT FADE (Editorial in the El Reno American) TN olden days knights rode forth to do deeds of valor in strange lands, whereat poets A and singers wrote brilliant epics praising their prowess and recounting their achieve- ments. In this day ami age we are not given to perpetuating our great works in poetry, but the age of knighthood had no corner on the valorous things to write about. Last week a little band of warriors of a different sort from those who wore armor, sallied forth from El Reno and in a strange land gave battle to other bands representing the greatest in the nation, and after tasting victory for five consecutive times, suffered a heart-breaking defeat. But even the defeat cannot efface the brilliant record made, and In their battles the members have covered El Reno with a glory that will not fade. Present and coming generations will look upon the band as a heroic group deserving of a place of high honor. I El Reno’s basketball team threatened to carry off the highest national honors in the school tourney at Chicago last week. Only one team stood in the way of that goal. Worn from the strenuous grind of five previous games, the vitality of the Indians gave way in the last great struggle, but not until the representatives of El Reno had brought | national acclaim for their ability, their sportsmanship and their fighting qualities. To go to the final round of a national tournament is an achievement never dreamed of in El Reno up to a year ago. To have won one game in that classic was an achieve- ment of glory. But to have vanquished five of the champion aggregations from other states and then land in second place in the national contest is one of the proudest rec- ords which has been marked up by El Reno in her entire history. Coach Grady Skillern and his nine goal tossers have made a place for themselves In El Reno’s history. Next year they may reach their goal and carry off the national hon- ors. It is well to have such a goal in view. But for the present we are content to bask in the glory which has come to El Reno and say Well done.” to the youngsters who by their achievements made themselves the most popular team out of the 42 on the floor at Chicago.

Prize Winning Short Story. 91 IMIIIIIIHIIMMMIMIM • « = IV IARY Louise Johnson was dying for romance. All her life (seven- IVlteen years) she had longed for it. “Something really spiffy,” she told herself. “Something different, not the same old humdrum.” Ah, yes, it was really awful. She wondered if it would always he this way. Wearily she ran over in her mind a list of the hoys in her crowd. Jimmy Bates? No, he was too young. Boh Haven? He was rather fresh, and Mary Louise didn’t like fresh boys. So in a like manner she considered and disposed of all of the hoys she knew. “Oh, for a different kind,'’ she sighed, as she reached her seat in the Spanish room. Indifferently her eyes wandered over her desk and suddenly be- came riveted on it. There in pencil on the top of the desk Was written in hold letters, “Who are you? Who sits in this seat?” Mary Louise sat up and reread the note. “Hin,” she said to her- self, “Here’s something different, at any rate.” Glancing up to make sure the teacher was not looking, she wrote, “ ho wants to know?” She hit her pencil thoughtfully for a moment and then added, “Are you a boy or a girl?” In the rest of her classes Mary Louise was strangely abstracted. She could scarcely wait until the second period came the next morning, for that was her Spanish class. Involuntarily her steps quickened a little as she drew near the desk. There, beneath what she had written was the note, “E. M. wants to know. I’m a girl.” Disappointment spread over Mary Louise’s face. “Oh, shoot! Just a girl,” she said disgustedly, as though a girl were the nearest to nothing in the world. Then she finished reading the note on the desk. “I’m in the fourth hour class,” it said, “and have blue eyes and brown hair.” “Fourth hour,” thought Mary Louise, “then she must he a fresh- man. Poor kid, I expect she thinks I’m a hoy and is thrilled to death. Well, I won’t disappoint her.” What she wrote on the desk was, “I’m a l oy, rather tall, with dark eyes and hair, and am a senior.” “Thrills and little poky dots!” she laughed, “That’ll surely give her something to think about, anyway.” So the notes ran on from day to day until at last one from E. M. asked, “Where do you live?” nmrauMMMii {•5 cc to 50 rti 3 2 £5 o o 05 C 5 CO K Z o w cs o o 2 a � l !IIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIItllllllll iiilitni'it iimiiiiiii ■ limi...illimi......in 93 SENIOR BOOMER ’2 5 iiiiiiiiiiiii.iiiiiiiiiiiii...iiiiiiiiiiiii.Illimi...illuni..............................•■■iiiiiiiiiii • i lllll IIIIHIIIIHIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHItllUlHIHIHIIIIIUMMlINMIMIMIIINIIHIMIMHIIItllll Lighting The Dark Places (In memory of the National Lfk'Mintc Essay Contest) nrilK question of lights first came up when the sun went down. There were lights of I a certain kind even before King Tut’s grandfather was old enough to go out and play marbles with the other boys. However. I shall skip over those which have shone through the ages, from the camp Are to the smoky coal oil lamp, for such lighting methods are now considered old stufT by those who know. These lights went out with hoop skirts and buggy rides on Sunday. When the public recovered from the shock occasioned by the discovery of electric- ity, Mr. Edison and Mr. Mazda got together and put the well-known Mazda lamp bulb on the market. The bulbs were intended to be used to broadcast light but it Is rumored that in some cases they have been used to set hens on. This Is a most deceitful prac- tice and should be discouraged. This brings us to the question of just what is the correct usage of electric lights. The living room in my house is lighted by a drop and bulb which hangs from the center of the room approximately eight feet from the floor and three feet from the ceiling. This light is very convenient on dark nights and 1 wish there were a dozen of them just like it in this room. If I were relighting the place I would put a light behind each door and in all the corners which have the distressing habit of being dark. Our bedrooms are also illuminated by almost identically the same apparatus as in the living room. The only objection I have to this Is that It goes out entirely too quick- ly when I turn it off and leap in the general direction of the bed. If I were relighting the bedrooms I would be sure and put a light under the bed so that no burglar could hide under it unbeknownst to me. By some queer coincidence I find that the dining room has absolutely the same lighting fixtures as the rooms just mentioned. That is, a drop suspended from the cen- ter of the room by a double stranded cord with a bulb at one end and the ceiling at the other; upon this we depend for lights. Now as far as I am concerned, lights in the dining room are superfluous, for I can eat just as much in the dark as in the light. So I have nothing to add to improve the lighting situation in this room. The lighting attachments in the kitchen are so constructed that the entire light will shine from the center of the room and makes a very bright Illumination, provided, of course, that it is turned on. Were I relighting this room. I think I would experiment with a brilliant idea I have had for a long time. I would put an attachment in the oven of the stove. With this arrangement I could turn on the switch and the light would shine on the bread. This would make the bread lighter. The rest of the kitchen has my official approval. Now let us go out onto the sun porch. As a matter of fact we have no regular sun porch. The front porch and the back porch each work a shift at the job for our house very conveniently faces the east and west. In the morning the back porch is the sun porch and in the afternoon the front porch is the sun porch. We have no lights on the sun porch—because what is the sun for? If this enlightening little essay has thrown any light at all upon the matter discuss- ed, then my hours spent in ceaseless research will not have been in vain. —LEON WAYLAND. -------- KL BUXO------ Landing of The Pilgrim Fathers pOURSCORE and quite a few years ago in the early part of the 17th century, there ■ lived a select group of people in England called Pilgrims. They decided that the English Church was being run decidedly contrary to their beliefs and would consequent- ly soon land in the midst of the “bow-wows”. Shortly following this decision a meeting was called to be held at Westminster Abbey or the Court House. Children.” quoth the chosen leader. Abraham Standlsh Swiggle. I have a feeling coming over me which impresses me as being an evil omen. Let us leave this country of our fathers and see how we might fare in Holland.” So with half-joyful, half-sorrowful hearts they gathered up the old silverware, house- hold furniture, vanishing creams, light bulbs, victrolas and Bibles, and fared forth in their Fords for Holland, the land of freedom. They remained here for about ten years but for several reasons did not like the climate, etc. In the first, and most important place, the boys and girls, now grown, were dealing extensively in the matrimonial game, cum Hollandis”, (which means with the Dutch). The Dutch girls were all right, as they were easily civilized, but the boys were too horrid for words. They talked tulips continually and as bell-bottomed trousers had not as yet round their place in Who’s Who”, their styles were atrocious. . , „ Abraham decided the time was ripe for another mass meeting as his feelings iiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiitiiiiinmiiiiiiitii i iiiiiiiiiitiiiiaitiiii!jiiiiiiiiii!;iiii iiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiMitiiiitiiMiiiiiiiiii:iuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'i i miiiniiiiimiiiiuiiBiuiiuiiMiiimiiiMiuiiniiuiMitniiai ' 11HiMMMMHMlMlMmiMMMtii i II n nun mi : in ni: in mini itiJiiniiiiMiiniii [IIIIIIIIIIIII 'linn ..ill.iiiiiiiillliimiiimiliiliiill 94 Senior boomer '25 ...................................................

My children,” spake Abraham, our children will no longer be English but Hol- lenglish. Something must be done! Hast thou no perspective? Feature our children wearing clothes like that!” pointing to an unsuspecting Dutchman. I have heard there is a land about 85 miles west of here called America with Jimtown as a county seat. That Is an English speaking country, at least. Let’s go!” says Abie. After an inventory of the cash on hand it developed an alarming shortage of funds. However, that barrier was overcome by a touching scene which involved some close friends across the channel. With money available the next important issue was transportation. The only boat within reach was about as sea-worthy as the proverbial sieve which is a decidedly poor combination for an ocean voyage and still remain within the bounds of “safety first” teaching. Later, much to their comfort they discovered the S. S. Mistletoe was intending to embark so they just sailed over in it. They suffered many hardships on the steamship including sea-sickness and a few deaths, but the surviving members eventually arrived. Before arriving they had contemplated making their stopping place in Oklahoma but as a morning of 1620 dawned, the sight of the beautiful sun on the waves was too touching so they vowed they would stay near the water-side. This decision was made unanimous so they nailed up against a speckled rock a sign, Plymouth Rock—Visitors Welcome. Having landed the Pilgrims, I must necessarily desist otherwise the title of my story P will fade into insignificance, (whatever that is). —GENEVIEVE BRALEY. ---KL RENO---------- Essay On Paper (As it is not customary to write one’s lessons on the blackboard, since they cannot be handed in. and at the same time it is illegal and inconvenient to write on the floor, I have decided to follow the usual method of procedure and write my essay on paper.— Author's note.) 'M'EXT to a desk, paper is one of the most necessary factors in writing. In the days 1 of yore, before the advent of paper, writing was a most tedious process. Let us take as an example, the publication of the first news-papers. It took many days to ham- mer out one edition of the paper. Consequently the news was old before it got to the consumer. That, though, is only a minor consideration, since no one could read in those days, anyway. The utensils used in publishing a newspaper were as follows: One flat piece of rock suspended in a prominent place on the courthouse square. Several stone hammers. An equal number of chisels made of dinosaur’s teeth. The newspaper staff included at least a dozen expert sculptors of the type of The Village Blacksmith”. Typographical errors were frequent. This was particularly disconcerting since it caused a shortage in sport writers. The shortage came about in this way. The scores of the croquet teams would often be reversed through an oversight of some tangle-eyed linotypist. This would result in a mob of rabid fans surrounding the newspaper office and promptly but thoroughly slaying the offending sport writer. After the storm was over and the unfortunate editor was equally distributed among the multitude the sport section would be discontinued until the next spring when a new class of journalism stu- dents would graduate. But what I started out to say was this: Some bozo who was living about a hun- dred and fifty-thousand years before his time peered into the future and saw that mat- ters could not go on like this. This fellow with the six-cylinder brain was at once struck with an idea. He began collecting the pulps which these hard luck editors’ heads had been beaten into. From the pulp he concocted a substance which is known throughout the state as | paper”. Thus we find the first paper was made from wood-pulp. In this advanceed age we have paper of all styles and for all purposes. For no par- ticular reason. I shall name a few of them that I can think of. There is the loose leaf pa- per, newspaper, wall paper, cigarette paper, and shoe soles. Paper is used to carry some of the most momentous messages of the hour in which the very destinies of a nation may hang. Papers are what the villian in the melodrama is always in search of. Grounds for many a breach of promise suit are based upon a small bundle of papers tied up with a pink ribbon. As some fellow once said, A little paper is a dangerous thing if it is not destroyed after being read.” Among the thousands of uses paper can be put to probably the one which interests us most Is the pieces which are used to print bank notes upon. ilillillllllllllMIlillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllililllllllllKllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllltllllllllilllllllllUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIiniNIIIIIIIIIMIMinilllllHIHmHHIIMMWMMMNHMI A SENIOR BOOMER '25 95 ......,........................ innui...i...i� ................ i.......................................

THE PEANUT PERIL A MATTER of terrific Im- portance and seriousness has recently been called to my attention that can no longer be neglected by the press. It threatens to tear down the very foundations upon which this Glorious School rests! Matters have come to a pret- ty state when one sees a stu- dent stealthily gnawing pea- nuts to satisfy his desire. The school has become a nest of peanut fiends. Did you know that, like pyorrhea, four out of every five students are al- ready slaves to that vile habit which makes wrecks of our future manhood and woman- hood? They must have their peanuts when they enter the building or office or go even to take an examination! Not only students are ad- dicted to this horrible habit, but It is hinted that some of our faculty indulge to a cer- tain extent. To be plain. Mr. J. B. Perky is alleged to be a confirmed peanut consumer, and Is said to he on the inside of the Inner Circle” of prom- inent business men In this city who peddle peanuts and ruin the younger generation, to enrich themselves. Don’t misunderstand me. I am not at all antagonistic to- ward the use of peanuts, but since the sinister influence ex- orcised by Mr. Perky has caus- ed the supply of peanuts for the Boomer Staff to be cut off. I feel that something should be done about it. I feel that the staff is en- titled to peanuts as well as other students. Let’s get behind this situa- tion and do something about it.

Rosy was well pleased with the meeting. Bits of Glass, captain of the team, were swept from the gymnasium after the annual Basketball riot with the Cac- tus-Fed-Willy Goats here last Friday .night. This was the culmination of a hard fought game and the strategy of both teams was superb. In the first quarter Glass, Willingham, and Higby hid under the bench on the side lines until after the tip off. Then steathily they crept on- to the court and Higby slug- fred an opponent guard with a ead pipe which he had con- cealed in his sweater. Before the referee could blow his horn, Glass and Willingham had together choked a for- ward into supreme Indiffer- ence. So they went, contin- uing their rally until Myers grabbed the ball and with a line plunge gained the foul line where he received a shot In the arm which caused him to falter. Then with the amazing speed so characteris- tic. Captain Glass leaped up- on the hoop and braced him- self against the back board. Myers shot the ball to Glass who fell through the hoop, and ball went crashing into the crowd behind the backboard. The crowd went wild. Fresh ammunition was rush- ed to the players of both sides and Glass was quickly but ef- ficiently disposed of. Our team is to be congratu- lated on Its fight and spirit.

HINTS TO MOTORISTS Most motors will start quicker if the ignition switch is turned on. In case one of the cylinders is missing, a small ad should be inserted in the Lost” col- umn of the home paper. The principal function of the fly wheel is to keep flies off the engine. If the motor fails to start on a cold morn- ing. considerable action may be caused by building a bon-flre under the car. An effective method of discovering quickly whether the gas tank is empty or not is to drop a match or cigarette into it. If the match burns slowly the tank is empty. If the universal joint of your car becomes stiff, a few osteopathic treatments will remedy the trouble. GLOSSARY FOR FRESHMEN IN SODA JERKING Lemon Drops: The act of an old maid diving into a pool.

THIS has been the most successful season El Reno Hush School has ever had in so- liciting advertising for its Senior Annual. We have been given more ads, have been treat- ed with more courtesy, and have made our ad- vertising mean more to the advertisers and to the El Reno buyers than we have ever been able to do before. The whole thing has, of course, been possible only because of your interest and co-operation, and for this we offer you our most grateful thanks. All of our business, our support, and our co- operation we gladly give you in return for the business, the co-operation, and the support you have given us; but in return for the loyalty you have shown us there is but loyalty to give. That El Reno High School extends to the merchants who have advertised in her Senior Boomer . . . . full measure. So if our thanks, our business, and our loy- alty mean anything, we hope to be able to repay the eight hundred and thirty dollars’ worth of advertising which has been put into the El Reno High School year book. —Bennett Musgrave, Advertising Manager. —Weiland Jride, —Tom Cubbage, Assistants.

HIS IS GOODBYE. The Annual is off the press, and the El Reno High School stu- dents have read it through (we hope) to the last page. Our year’s work is complete, and like the other seniors, we are signing out for the last time. That is what hurts most. Sitting on the steps waiting for the first hell, making the drag between the front door and the annexes, getting excused and hearing Sadie say, “Room 17 at 3:15,” and signing out on the yellow sheet that hangs in the inner office—those are some of the things we never will do again. Publishing the Annual, like being a senior, has been a great deal of fun, after all. A brain searching, nerve rending, heart breaking, hair splitting proposition sometimes . . but that is like being a senior too; and now that it is all over, this is our parting shot, “We hope you like it.” If you do, far he it from us to say that our time has been anything but extraordinarily well spent. And if you don’t . . . we still contend that it has been a great deal of fun. Anyway, because we are seniors, and be- cause this is goodbye, forgive and forget our little errors and let the 1925 Senior Boomer, and the 1925 Senior Class, he to you what they are to us—unforgettable memories. yg miitimiiimiiiimiiMiuiumiiitiiiH iiiiiiiiuiniiimiiiimmmiiimuiHiiimiiimi
