The 1926 Annual Boomer has demanded those things too. and in using the pioneer as a symbol, the staff has hoped to make its book pertray the courage and patience that this generation has inherited from the last. iiMiiiwnMitiMiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiimiiiniimiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiHiiiiniiuiiiMiiiMiiiMimiiiniiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiNiiiNimiimiMiiiiiiiiHiiiniiiiiiiiMiiiiwHnHimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiimiiiMiiniiiiitii THE BOOMER NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX 7 BOOK I The School BOOK II Organizations BOOK III Good Citizens BOOK IV Sports BOOK V Literature BOOK VI SNOW MUSIC On the brown earth-drum, Lightly falls the snow, Now a whispered murmur, Then, with a blow. Slender, silver crystal sticks, On an ancient drum, Beat the mellow music, Bidding winter come. Chords of joy awaken, Notes from the heavenly blue Bise and fall triumphant Over all things old and new. Still those crystal sticks Beat the long tattoo— God, the great musician, Is calling winter anew. —Elsie Brown. LEON J. DEMING Dkmixg—synonym for loyalty, sports- manship and moral uprightness to all who know him, has carved a niche in the his- tory of El Reno High School which time cannot erase. His fine character and shrewd business ability have won him the respect and ad- miration of his acquaintances, but it is that rare sense of fair play, that delightful bit of humor, and that rare understanding which has won him the friendship of the students of El Reno High School. idiliiiilliiiliiiiiiniiiiiiii imiiimm iiiiiiixiiiiiimiiimni niiiiiiiiiti'iin n !innm m in in.in n in innui it n n tiii: n • .mi:k nim:ti:i: -t v i: tv-six n Qgg ■ mi 11111:1111: niuilliiiin i in i illunii 11 in iiiiitiini mi: uiiiiimiiiii mu mi i mi in in JOHN T. BUTCHER Mr. Butcher is one of the best known school men in the state, a man whose creed is co-operation and whose motto is success. By his untiring efforts and unusual inia- tive he has made the new building, former- ly a roseate, intangible dream, a rapidly growing realtiy. It was only by his per- sistence that he gained an election for the school bonds. He is well known as a speaker of much ability.

The glee clubs, tlu quartets and the orchestra have all co-operated with Miss Helen Crum- haugh, and in “Miss Clierryblossom” they proved how well they have learn- ed harmony. Miss Crumbaugh inno- vated a jazz orchestra this year, which is the first that El Reno High School has ever produced. The orchestra in- cludes five members who have enter- tained in chapel and shown great abil- ity in every performance. Miss Cruin- baugh has greatly improved the sing- ing of school songs in chapel and is hoping to have enough song books in the luture so that some assemblies may he turned over entirely to sing- ing.

Qood Citizens GOOD CITIZENS The Good Citizens were chosen by the popular vote of the school. The contest was changed from one of pop- ularity and beauty, because the stall felt that service to school should he re- warded. The four students were con- sidered because of the things they had done for the school in advancing any high school project, and a student’s popularity with his classmates and teachers was taken into account. The selection of the best citizens proved the contest a success in every way.

II. S. Boomer, a weekly publication, appeared on September 22, a result of the first two weeks’ work of the newswriting class. John Morris was elected editor and Wei- land Jeide business manager. The first “extra” was printed on November 24, when Thanksgiving was celebrated with a special eight-page edition illustrated with several cuts. On December 8 the Boomer was devoted to the advertising of “Miss Cherryblos- som” and pictures of the principals and two choruses appeared. At the end of the first semester, Weiland Jeide graduated and Allison Clark was promoted to the position of business manager. On January 26 pictures of the nominees for the Good Citizenship contest headed the paper, with publicity writeups for each candi- date. The staff celebrated St. Pat’s day with a Boomer printed in green ink.

MARION HKIBY lien Coach Grady Skillern sound- ed the call for the first pig-skin prac- tice of the season, only six lettermen of last year’s squad were present. There were five vacancies to be filled with a squad of promising, but unex- perienced men. And with four of the hardest teams in the state on their early schedule, the prospects for the Indians looked doubtful to the fans. But not so with Coach Skillern and his charges. By loyalty, co-operation and fight, the warriors developed rapidly in preparation for the opening battle with Kingfisher. In the first game at home with the Cardinals inexperience stood out against the Indians, as they fought Central and held them to a 12 to 0 score. The services of Claude Foster were lost to the squad in the Blackwell game as he received a fractured leg. Captain Higby, who was injured in a previous game, watched the Indians fight from the bench. After four straight defeats, the E. H. S. line fought the Enid line off its feet and two field goals by Armstrong paved the way to victory. In the Guth- rie game, Norvell scored a touchdown for El Keno and the Indians came out with the long end of a ( to 0 score. Although the Indians were out-weighed by the Chiokasha lineup ten pounds to a man, they unleashed an aerial attack and carried off the honors with a victory of 19 to 0. On Thanksgiving Day the El Reno gridsters resolved to end the season with a win and after battling the Enid squad for sixty minutes, emerged with a 12 to 6 victory. While the Indians lost more games than they won, all glory is due them for the come-back they staged after losing their first four games. Of the men who played in the El Reno lineup, nine will he lost by grad- uation and their absences will he keenly felt next season.

Fight and determination have marked his playing and his genial dis- position and natural ability to lead has fitted him for the role of captain, which he held for the past campaign. His line smashing, pass receiving and returning of punts has caused much comment from the coaches of the Cen- tral Conference. Hig” will receive a diploma in the spring. JOHN LIVELY HALF-BACK 1 year Freshman “Johnny” proved to the local fans that a Freshman can play football. He was small but used the old adage that the bigger they are. the harder they fall.” Lively’s speed and line plung- ing and his defensive play were out- standing. He is only a Freshman and will have three more campaigns to fight for El Reno. LEE JUDGE” PITMAN 2 years Senior Pitman was another of the few letter men available at the start of the sea- son. and although small in size, he could be depended on to take care of his territory. Snagging passes and breaking up end runs, as well as plung- ing the line were outstanding charac- teristics of his play. Lee graduated with the mid-year class. RAY “WETZEL” ARMSTRONG FULL-BACK 2 years Senior Ray has to his credit a record of having played in every quarter of every game. His playing has been con- sistent throughout. On offense his passing, kicking and line plunging was as perfect as ever attained by a high school player. Ray leaves the team this year with two letters. DAVE “IKEY NORVELL HALF-BACK 1 year Senior This past season marked Dave’s first fling at the gridiron game. Ikey was shifted around until Coach Skill- ern saw that with his speed he be- longed in the back-field. Dave proved to be El Reno’s Grange” and when started on a long run. was hard to stop. He was full of fight, was shifty and his long suit was a long run where he could get started. Norvell scored the first touchdown for the Blue and White. He graduates this spring. iMiiiMiiiiiimiiiiiiniiuiiiniiiniiniiiiiiinmiiiiniMMiiiiiMMiii iiiiimniiHimiiiiiiiiniiuimi.iiitiimmHmniiniiiinmuHiniiniiiuiiiiimi THK BOOMER- NINETEBN-TXVENTY-SIX •BUD BABCOCK CENTER 1 year Senior Babcock was another who found ways of getting through the opposing line and stopping cut-back plays. “Bud” was also a pass receiver and was the cause of many aerial attacks to fail. Although new at the position, the number of bad passes he made was few. CLARENCE TINY” ROYSE TACKLE 1 year Senior Tiny” proved to be the find of the sea- son. He had plenty of fight and broke up any play started towards his side of the line. His play caused comment from all coaches, and against the Car- dinals and Tom Churchill. Tiny” prov- ed his rights to an all-state selection which he received. ELMER MONK” BANNISTER TACKLE 4 years Senior Monk” had three seasons to his credit at the start of his campaign and gave promise of a good year, but in- juries in the early games slowed him up. Although handicapped by his size. Bannister had a knack of sifting through an opposing line and stop- ping opponent’s plays. W. L. BILL” THOMPSON GUARD 1 year Senior Failing to receive a letter last sea- son. Bill” came back the first of this season with about fifteen pounds more weight and this, coupled with fight and speed marked him as one of the best guards in the conference. Thomp- son’s play was consistent and he per- formed more like a veteran than a first year man. JIM B. “CYCLONE” SMITH END 2 years Senior Jim’s nerve and determination and his ability to get down the field, won favorable comment everywhere the team journeyed. When receiving a pass he proved that he could run through a broken field. Jim received his diploma Christmas and entered the marriage game. CHRIS QUIGLEY GUARD 1 year Junior Chris played two years on the Calu- met high school team before donning an Indian suit. He was a hard worker and a conscientious trainer. With a year’s experience, he should make a big hit in the Central Conference next season. Chris is a Junior. HARLEY BISHOP END 2 years Sophomore Harley was another of the banty” class but always proved a stumbling block to plays started his way. Harley fights from start to finish and should make a great showing in Central Con- ference competition next season. --- --� 1 100 THE BOOMER NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX lHimillMlimiluiliHiiniliiiiiiiiiiiMiiniiiniiimiiiiiiiiiii «iiiiiiiHiimiiiiiiinmniiuiiiiii:iiimi:miimiiiiiiiiim iiimiiiiiiiiim ii::iiii'iiiiiiii.iiimiiiiiniiiniitiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiniiiiiiii«iiiiii WILLIAM GLASS ■4 years Senior Bill is the veteran of the team, havinir Played four seasons for El Reno. Like Wil- lingham. he was eauifht by the elsrht sem- ester rule and became eligible In February. Bill was chosen captain of the team In '23 and has served in this position for two years. This is his last year. BASKETBALL The El Reno basketball season opened with seven letter men re- porting for practice, but only five of the seven were eligible to build a team which could compete with other teams over the state. Cap- tain Glass and Willingham being the two victims of the eight semes- ter opportunity rule, the team elected to appoint Higby as a tem- porary pilot for the team, until Glass could become eligible. “Lor- ry” Meyers was selected to play the center position while Armstrong and Norvell held down a forward position each, with Higby and Fos- ter as guards. The remaining play- ers on the squad included Reck, Cubbage, Sawallisch, Haley, Jack- son and Turnipseed. The second team has much praise coming to the members for their cooperation and hard work against the regulars. The team played thirteen games, three of which were conference games, before the two ineligible Indians were permitted to play. All these games were won by decisive scores. After the second semester was started, the Oklahoma Athletic Board held its annual meeting, and at this time annulled the rule which held Glass and Willingham from the game. The lineup was somewhat changed, Glass and Meyers plac- ing at forward, Willingham at center and Norvell and Higby on the de- fensive positions.

The air was heavy with the sweet fragrance oi lilacs, and the odor of tlie damp earth and the “springy smell was everywhere. Outlined against the clear blue sky, was a church steeple and over it white, fleecy clouds floated by. The trees were a soft, vel- vety green that spoke of newly opened leaves, and a robin, in an old maple, twittered happily to his mate. It was the Sabbath and in the little, old-fashioned village the peals of the church bells could be heard. A light, clear, musical sound came from the bell of a small, vine-covered church, that, almost hidden among the trees, rested one just to look upon it. Then a deep, mellow, bass “bong” from a stately, isolated chapel, followed by another and still another in the distance. The village seemed to awake from a sleep, and many people flock- ed from the old-fashioned village homes. Everyone, it seemed, was on the way to church—the sad and the happy, the rich and the | oor, the old and the young. Suddenly, as they had appeared, these people disappeared, and I, left to my dreams, could hear the hymns of the choir-bovs, the soft notes of the organ, the droning of voices, all intermingled with the twittering of the robin to its mate. —Opal Roberts. THE SLIGHTLY WORN GUM PROBLEM Step right up, friends, Romans and fellow gum-chewers and lend me your eyes, (Caesar poked mine out). If you’ve read this article once, read it again for I am sure with each reading you will find something new and positively educational that you missed before, for it contains food for deep thought and un- divided concentration. You can never thoroughly masticate what I am going to tell you about, and to prevent your trying to, I shall not even mention the room which served as a base for my investigations. This room was extraordinary—hence this article. There are thir- ty-seven desks in this room and a careful survey of each desk, indi- vidually, revealed a most startling and unexpected bit of information. There was a total of 387 wads of slightly used gum beneath these thirty-seven desks! This is by actual count, although any single wad larger than my fist, I considered as two wads. To be more definite there was an average of 10 17 37 wads per desk. The maximum record for a single desk was 28 wads. The minimum was two. V I ' I 11 . 11 I I � 11;, III i 111111 ( 11S THE BOOMER-NINKTBEN-TWENTV-8IX In actual money, counting each wad as a stick, this gum was worth originally $.'1.87. It was of all flavors. The exact ages cannot he put down because I had no way of determining just how old they were when deposited. As a rough estimate, though, I shall say they ranged from three days to thirty years. This is a conservative estimate. This discovery and above figures immediately open channels for interesting deductions for one intellectually inclined (pass the cake). For instance, did it ever occur to you that if all of this gum was rolled into one long roll an inch in diameter that it would reach from one end to the otherf And did you know that if used as putty, this gum would hold up nineteen small windows or two large plate glass display win- dows? Have you stopped to think if used as tar with sand in an as- phalt mixture it would be equal to seven square feet of paving? Can you conceive the material which has been lost, because chewing gum cannot be reconverted into rubber from whence it came? Think of the hundreds of pipe-stems that are not on the market because the gum is beneath those desks. Thousands of pounds of steel is lost each year through used safety razor blades and phonograph needles and along with this situation now comes the question of what to do with used and second-hand chewing gum. Surely it can re remodeled and again serve in some capacity as a benefit to man. It is a problem to be considered. —Leon Wayland. SADNESS AND GLADNESS OF GRADUATION In every person’s life there usually comes a time when he feels that he is at the beginning of the end of things. He has a vague long- ing perhaps for a few fleeting happy moments of the past, but never- theless, he is anxious and curious to see what a beckoning future holds. He, now in the crisis of life, stands on the inside of a great high wall in which there is a beautiful garden, yet even though he finds pleasures untold in the space, it seems the sky is just a little bluer out- side, the trees a little taller, and there is an intangible something that sends thrills of excitement through him as he opens the door to this un- known outside. To me there is no other time in an individual’s life that so symbol- izes this fact of the beginning of the end, like graduation. Up to this time life, hopes, and ambition have all been centered toward this one goal. A feeling comes to the student that he has at last come to that period of his life when he must take all responsibility for his future in his own hands. No longer can he feel that he can have the personal interest of the teachers’ friendly and sympathetic advice. However it seems to me that without our sweet and cherished mem- GW III III III III III HI ' 11II 1 mil LJ THE BOOMER - NINKTKKN-TWKNTY-SIX 119 OLA, 2’ (gp-.. ories, a life would not be worth the living. Even though some of the memories may seem sad and we students realize that many of the elass room friendships will no doubt cease after the different members of the class have gone their separate ways, still we shall never forget either the care-free, happy good times, the funny curl on Harry’s neck, the odd little way Mary had of saying “Teacher”, and many other little endearing characteristics of our friends will stamp themselves on our heart and mind never to be forgotten. Withal, graduation, even though one begins a new life as he leaves the old, is and will always remain the most exhilerating and soul-satis- fying time in a student’s life. It is not without a vague fear and doubt that he leaves childhood and its irresponsibility, lmt he would not have it otherwise. One hopes that he is a good sport with that taste for bat- tle. I believe the class of twenty-six will throw its whole energies into this new future and battle the world successfully. —Lor Edwin Smith. OH, THAT FRENCH! On a Friday morning before school began on Monday, Mamie Bur- nett, a senior, went to town on an errand for her mother. At noon as she was going into Miller’s Cafe for her lunch she met Alice, her best chum. Greetings were exchanged and then Alice whispered. “Our new French teacher is over there.” “Where?” asked Mamie. “The last table—left-hand side.” She looked just as Mamie had expected her to. She was small, dis- tinguished, dark and neatly dressed. Across the table from the teacher was Mrs. Brooks, a neighbor to the Burnett family. A strange young lady was with her who bore a faint resemblance to Mrs. Brooks. There was something about her that Mamie liked, perhaps it was because she seemed so friendly. Mamie finished her lunch and as she was about to pass Mrs. Brooks and the young lady, the two arose and Mrs. Brooks said, “Miss Bur- nett, I would like you to meet my niece, Miss Payson, Miss Burnett. She is a stranger here and would be delighted if you would show her around the town a little.” “I would be delighted to,” answered Mamie. “Won’t you come over this evening so that we may become better acquainted?” Miss Payson promised that she would and they parted. That evening as she and Miss Payson were discussing different topics, Mamie asked, “Did you see our French teacher? She sat across the room from you at lunch.” Miss Payson had noticed her.

I hate it and I hate everyone who teaches it. I get so disgusted sometimes I could just Hing my l ook right into the teach- er’s face!” Mamie told her a great deal more about herself and French and the school. She described the faculty members as being a very comical group. She imitated the principal and the superintendent. On Monday morning, chapel exercises were held during the first period. The seniors filed down the aisle and took the front seats. After prayer the announcements were made and the principal arose and began introducing the teachers. After awhile Mamie heard him saying, “One of the most important faculty members is they French teacher.” Mamie looked at her and wondered how on earth anyone could sit and look so calm when about to address a large audience. The introduction had ceased hut the teacher did not move. Instead, from the back row Miss Payson stepped to the front of the stage. All the color faded from Mamie’s face and then surged hack and left it scarlet. She felt weak all over. These words stood out in her mind: “She’s the French teacher!” She touched the shoulder of the girl by her side and whispered, “Who is that small, dark lady on the front row, there by Mr. Keats?” “Oh, that’s the English teacher, Miss Allen.” Mamie was nervous, sick and almost unable to move. She sat stun- ned until at last chapel was over. She slipped out and went to the rest room until the class hell rang. She attended the rest of the classes and went home as fast as she could. She told the whole family everything, llow she had made fun of everyone and most of all of the French teacher. They tried to comfort her and finally she was coaxed to go walking with Ann, her younger sister. When they returned, she heard voices coming from the sitting room. One of them seemed strangely familiar. She entered and there stood Miss Payson with one hand outstretched. “Miss Burnett—Mamie, I’m awfully sorry about what happened Friday and today. I tried to see you before chapel this morning hut I couldn’t find you. You seemed to be enjoying yourself so much when you were telling me about the school that I just couldn’t spoil it all. Let’s forget and be real friends.” As Mamie clasped the teacher’s hand in hers she said, “Miss Pay- son, something tells me I’m going to enjoy studying with you.” And she did. —Georgia Moore.

Pat was ambitious to own a mule, and, selecting a large pumpkin, he sat on it industriously every mo- ment he could steal from his work. Came a day when he grew impa- tient, and determined to hasten the hatching. He stamped on the pump- kin. As it broke open, a startled rabbit broke from its cover in an adjacent corn shock and scurried across the field. Pat chased it, shouting: “Hi thar! Stop! don’t yez know your own father f” The clergyman, absorbed in thinking out a sermon, rounded a turn in a path and bumped into a cow. He swept off his hat with a flourish, exclaiming: “I beg your pardon, malam.” Then he observed his error, and was greatly chagrined. Soon, how- ever, again engaged with thought of the sermon, he collided with a lady at another bend of the path. “Get out of the way, you brute!” he said. “What is it daddy?” asked Toots as her father came into the room where she was entertaining John. Her father held out the umbrella which he carried. “This is for John,” he explained. “It looks as if it might rain before morning.” THIS IS APPETITE It was shortly after Thanksgiv- ing Day that someone asked the lit- tle boy to define the word appetite. His reply was prompt and enthus- iastic : “When you’re eating you’re ’appy; and when you get through you’re tight—that’s appetite!” M IIIIIWIIMI MWIMIIWIWIWIWIIWIMIIIWIWIIWIWWIIWIMIIMniBniMIWIllWIWnWinWliniWIWIIIWIIWIWIWIIWIIWIII IIMIIIWIWIIWIIWMIMIWMIWIIWIWIIIIIIIWIMIIW THE BOOMER NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX 111 liMiliMllMiiuiiiMiiiniiMiiiiiiiiallinilMiiiitliMiiitiiiiiiiuHiHiitifiiiuiiuiiitiiiiiiiiniiitiiiitillHiimiiniiiniiiMiiHiiiHiiiniiMiiiHiimiinuiuMSiiiiiniiiiiiiuiiiniiixiiniiiMiiMiiiniiiMiiiiiiiMtiin The highly inebriated individual halted before a solitary tree, and regarded it as intently as he could, with the result that he saw two trees. His attempt to pass between these resulted in a near-concussion of the brain. He reeled back, but presently sighted carefully, and tried again, with the like result. When this had happened a half- dozen times, the unhappy man lift- ed up his voice and kept. “Lost—lost!” he sobbed. “Hope- lessly lost in an impenetrable for- est!” The instructor in the medical col- lege exhibited a diagram. “The subject here limps,” he ex- plained, “ because one leg is shorter than the other.”1 He addressed one of the students: “Now, Mr. Sneed, what would you do in such a case?” Young Sneed pondered earnestly and replied with conviction: “I fancy, sir, that I should limp, too.9 ’ The new play was a failure. Af- ter the first act, many left the the- atre; at the end of the second, most of the others started out. A cyni- cal critic as he rose from his aisle seat raised a restraining hand. “Wait!” he commanded loudly. “Women and children first!” A TOAST Here’s to you—as good as you are.

I just stooped over and there it was!” Adam: “Why does a chicken cross the road?” Eve: “Because she doesn’t know her eggs.” Adam: “Aha, so that’s the lay of the land!” When a newspaper reporter dies and goes to heaven, that’s news.

Although not quite so successful as last year, we have received wonderful support and the ut- most courtesy from the merchants, business and professional men of El Reno. Each succeeding year we have tried to make our advertising mean more to the advertisers and El Reno buy- ers. The whole situation has, of course, been made possible only because of your interest and co-operation and for this we extend to you our most grateful thanks. All of our business support and co-operation we gladly give you in return for the business, the support and the co-operation you have giv- en us; and in return for your loyalty and cour- tesy there is but loyalty and courtesy to give; that the 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 loyal- ty mean anything we hope to be able to repay the seven hundred and fifty dollars’ worth of advertising which has been put into the El Reno High School year hook.

THE BOOMER - X1NETKEN-TWENTY-SIX iii iiiiitiiiiiiaiiiiiiuiiuiiii iiiiiiiJtiiiiiiitiiiiniiiiiiitii GOOD-BYE The 1926 Annual is off the press! To the Seniors that means more than merely a finished book; it means the end of high school days and the beginning of something else. So many things are being left behind—walking from the school build- ing to chapel, watching the new building through the doors in the upper hall where one hoard has been left out, sitting out per- iods in the office, grading test papers in chemistry, and doing things with a sense of belonging. To the Seniors the Annual will be full of memories. And the staff hopes that it will be to everyone what it is to them, a book of fulfilled dreams and beautiful memories. iiiiiillllMMiiiiiiilliiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiHiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiMiiiiiiiJMiiiHiiniiiiiiutiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirimMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiMMiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiminiiiiiiiiiimiiimiimiimiiiQC xis-aj, 'mau-xhhj,hnm.n: - jimkoos miu oni w?
