We have tried, through television titles, to associate you with your school activity. Sometimes we hit the mark. Sometimes we're far-fetched. But always we're well meaning—as witnessed by the fact we resisted the temptation to associate ZOO PARADE with anyone. Come along and we'll show you. INTRODUCTION Our years grow better and our lives grow richer and the school year just closing is the brightest we have known. Within these covers, fellow students, is a cast of star-studded performers who have taken life at its high tide. Stars they are—and they are you! This, our life's best year, was spent reading, writing, computing and just plain learning about a troubled, mixed-up, but opportune world. It is a world whirling so fast that one might forget this year as it fades. For this reason we have slowed down the pace in these pages so that you may always vividly relive this year. We hope this Boomer-Collegian may be an echo of El Reno High School through the years, sounding our memories of things that used to be and treasures you do not wish to lose.

Their pur- pose is to improve methods of teaching and to advance steadily in the quality of instruc- tion they give us. To this end, they meet regularly on Wednesday afternoon of each week in workshop groups or in general session with all the teachers in the system. They call in experts from schools of education in our universities to confer with them on many problems affecting the life of the school and the welfare of the students. They believe the best teacher is the growing teacher and that growth comes through study ond experience. It follows when teachers on any given grade level meet to exchange ideas, to compare progress and to learn of the good experiences of others. Growth results when a good, workable idea of how to do better the desirable things that are already being done is passed along to col- leagues. Topics that have been studied since the in-service education program was begun in 1950 include: guidance techniques, better use of visual aids, creative discipline, the use of group dynamics, contemporary opinions on how learning takes place, mentol hygiene in the classroom, and self-evaluation. Many other topics are on the agenda for study in the future. 30 Judy Dovis Secretory Carolyn Morquordt Treasurer Otis Bruce Robert Bullock Billie Jeon Cocy Cleto Cormichoel Potty Chiles Margaret Colemon Leon Combs LeRoy Corn Williom Cox Lillian Cox Billy Craig Roy Crum Delores Curtis Sammy Curtis Jonette Davis French Denwalt Jeonne Doke Doreen Duncan Jim Dunn Katie Dunn Tommy Elliot Verno Adams Joanne Alexander Glenda Anderson Charles Anthony Mourice Ausley Bob Bornes Betty Bartlett Neal Baucom Doyle Biller Ethelyn Birdsheod Joke Bloom Dorothy Boling Phyllis Boyer Kay Boyles Nancy Brower 31 Lorry Engelhort Jerry Estes Karen Foucon Jerry Farrell Nan Flippen Charlotte Fogg Fronces Gaines Cloy Gilbert Don Goucher Randy Grady Corl Groy Sondra Gresham Edwina Grunewald Shirley Hall Ruth Ann Halocko Gayle Honks Martho Honnemon Billy Harris Dub Hartwig Koy Hoyword Dale Hays Charles Hoygood Irvin Heckes Sandro Heitzman Linda Hensley James Hickerson Maxine Hilburn Bobbie Jane Hill Peggy Hilley Mary Ann Huntress Koren Hutchemonn Allen Jensen Lavada Jessup Carroll Jones Dan Jones Nora Lee Jones Karl Keener Joy Kepler Kothy Kiker Joan Kincaid Ruby Kortemeier Veldon Koubo 32 Jomes Kubon Georgia Locefield Loura Liebscher Charlotte Long Barbara Lorenzen Florence Lucus Wesley Lumry Junior Lunsford Joson Morquordt Terry Moyrohofen Jeon McEvoy Bobby Meese Alice Foye Miles Betty Miles Gordon Miller John Miller Johnny Morris Ryan Morris Stanley Mulonox Jim Murphy Jo Ann Murphy Gloria Neothery Nels Olander Juanita O'Nan Koren Oneth Dixie Overholser Jockie Porker Joe Potrick Terry Petitt Harvey Plout Koy Porta Doyle Powell Moxine Red Buffolo Jock Reeves Louello Rickner Ralph Rickner Patricio Robertson Robert Sanders Johnny Schmoyer Stonley Seely Walderine Sexton Tommy Sharp 33 Ronald Shownee Gene Slaughter Freda Smith Bino Snelling Billy Stevens Melbo Stoner Karen Stout Marvin Terrell Jon Tillinghost Bob Tinsley Pete Tro Frank Waller Jr. Oscor Wehmuller Koy Wells Cynthia White Buffalo LoVern White Bird Kaye Willioms Melvern Wilds Bob Wineborgcr Peter Wright Joe Young Charles Vornell Barbara Viewig Joyce Zucksworth Charles Hardin Carl Roscher Ernest Crosswhite 34 Bunny Laughlin President Barbara Anderson Claretta Ankney Arnold Abner Ronnie Atchinson Noncy Bachelor Onita Bartlett Koy Barton Frayne Brennan Karen Boorsmo Barbara Boston Glenn Brown 35 Doris Choloner LoVonne Clark Oron Clemons Freddy Coburn Billy Cook Burilyn Conner John Cottinghom Janelle Crandell Noro Crowe Carol Sue Dovidson Lorry Deotherage Carolyn Delaughter Jerry Divine Dennis Dicke Dario Dies Thelma Dodd Karen Dorman Gene Douglos Bill Douglas Dorothy Duncan Carol Durham Glenda Dutcher Boots Effenbeck Patsy Entreekin Richard Fogg Potricio Fox Henry Frizzell Bob Garrett Judy Gholston Terry Gholston Carolyn Goad Jasper Golden Cecil Grohom Gront Greiese Jim Haun Glenn Greffin Bill Hall George Hamilton Gory Handley Lodonna Helm Herbie llles Monuel Heusmon Clarence Hix Margoret Hoard Shirley Hutchinson Billy Irume Phil Ivester Billy Jeffery Gale Johnson Shirley Johnson Verle Roy Jones Arthur Kinsey James Lucas Ricky Lake Barbara Leoch John Lee Arthur Link Jerry Lingle Richard Lorenzen Betty Sue Lunsford Lovern Madison Ronnie Maggord 36 Bob Meyer Donold Miller Donno Miller Pat Miller Roberto Morris Connie Moyer Kelly Murphy Mary Sue Nail Ruth Nichols Gala Niles Milton O'Bleness Patricio Oldfield Crystal Overholser Floyd Pate Melvin Payton Coro Lee Pennington Phil Pumphrey Bonnie Pierce 37 Ronald Porter Charles Posey Kenneth Potts Horvey Pratt Judy Remi Sherry Rogers Burrell Rushing Dorothy Ruess Gayle Ryle Charlie Sonders Shelby Schaefer Buddy Schroeder Carol Schumocher John Sedberry Bertha Segor Carl Sessions Marilyn Show Jimmy Shirey Billy Shrum Junior Sioux Clyde Stout Shirley Stowe Elaine Surleer Dorothy Swingle Beverly Tote Etto Tennery Richard Tillington Jeleeto Thompson Betty Smith Betty Jo Southern Ronnie Southern Coris Spencer Marvin Starkey Ido Stephens Mory Stephens Leniel Thompson Saroh Volderos Phyllis Voughn Lonnie Word Mamie Wohwosuch Jock Wolker Jonice Wallace Loretta Worren Morion Watson Jimmy Willioms Lonnie Williams Jerry Willingham Georgio Moe Worden Terry Wilson Kotherine White Herbie White Buffalo Foris Whitley Joe Whipple Donna Wood Keith Worsham Bert Yont William Yount Wilma Yount 38 SQUADMEN Front Row: Veldon Kouba, Jomes Mowery, Billy Croig, Jim Murphy, Sommy Curtis, Joe Smith, Ernest Cross- white, Johnnie Wagner, Jerry Estes.

After a rugged ten days at their Fort Reno camp, the Indians proceeded os expected by blanking the Watonga Eagles 33-0, and then revenged the King- fisher Yellowjackets 45-0. The next week found them defeating a scrappy Clinton crew 21-14. For their fourth victory and first conference win the Indians won a 7-6 thriller over the Norman Tigers on a mud-soaked field. The next two games found the Indians marching over conference foes. Chickasha fell 13-7 and the Duncan Demons were dealt a 13-6 loss, their first at the hands of .El Reno in five years. With a 6-0 record, the Indians played host to the highly regarded Lawton Wolver- ines, and after a hard fought bottle the Tribe found itself on the wrong end of a 20-13 score. Rebounding from their first defeat, the Tribe brought the Maxwell Trophy back to El Reno with a 21-6 win over the Pirates of Putnam City. While looking forward to the conference championship game with Ardmore, a weak Enid team surprised the Indians 25-19. In their last game of the sea- son with Ardmore for the conference champion- ship, the Indians outplayed the Tigers in every department but the score and the Tribe fell 14-13 The Indians wound up their season with a 7-3 record and finished in second place with Law- ton in the conference. El Reno proved to be the only team in the state to have two men, Jerry Tillery, end, and Joe Smith, linebacker, chosen as linemen of the week by the Daily Oklahoman which makes the award each week. Tillery, a junior, also won a place on the Duncan Banner All-Southern team and wos placed on the league's sportswriters' 22 man all- conference team along with teammates Bill Adams, Chuck Janssen and Walter Land. The season's highest honor came when Chuck Janssen was named All-State. In one of the final honors of the season the Indians placed five seniors on the coaches' all- conference team Receiving the honor were Bill Adams, Chuck Janssen, Walter Land, John Porter and Harold Johnson. Co-Coptoins Bill Adorns and Walter Lond receive instructions from Cooches Kenneth Komm and Bill Dovis. r r Guard Center John Porter Pat McCabe Halfback Gilbert Gholston SENIOR LETTERMEN- 1955 Gary Bornemann Halfback , „ Joe Smith Don Blockwolf Halfback Halfback Jody Farris SENIOR LETTERMEN-1955 Bill Adams Walter Land Quarterback End Burke Prevratil Fullback MISS MARLENA CHRISTOPHER, PEPETT FOOTBALL QUKN EHS INDIANS First Row: Jenks Simmons, Jim Boss, Jim Roblyer, Billy Bornes, Gilbert Gholston, Glen Hod- lock, Bob McDoniel, Chuck Janssen.

COLISEUM Nfl SEASON SUMMARY by Walter Land The 1955-56 basketball season proved to be another successful year for the El Reno Indians. Ending the season with a 21-5 record, the Indians possessed the best win-loss record compiled by any class AA team. With the return of three starters and ten let- termen from last year's Boomer Conference Chomps, and piloted by coach Jenks Simmons, who during his years as mentor at EHS has earned the title Maestro of Oklahoma Bas- ketball, the Tribe ended the season rated third among class AA teams. Dropping their season's opener to Tulsa Rogdrs, the Indians rebounded to squeeze by the Tulsa team 38-36 before entering El Reno's own Invitational Tournament. The Tribe breezed by their first two opponents, Clinton and Central, before edging Norman 45-39 in the finals of the State's toughest pre- season tournament. The Indians continued in their winning ways by downing Putnam City, Ardmore, and Duncan, before losing an over- time thriller 45-40 to Capitol Hill. The Tribe ran its conference winning streak to four with wins over Chickasha and Norman, but were upended 45-44 by underdog Lawton the next week. Following the Lawton loss the Indians 46 posted four straight wins over Capitol Hill, Ardmore, Central and Duncan, thus gaining a number one rating in the state. El Reno's conference hopes were smashed when Norm- an, twice beaten by the Indians, upended the Tribe 57-37. Looking forward to the state tourney, the Indians downed Chickasha, Put- nam City, Lawton, Clinton two times and Oklahoma City Central. Playing the regional tournament at home, the Tribe dropped Dun- can and clubbed Enid 54-36 in the finals. The Indians ended their season by losing to a red- hot Tulsa Rogers crew 61-57 in the state tourney. Nine seniors played their last year of basketball for EHS and were a big reason for the Indians' successful season. They include Jody Farris, Gib Gholston, Walter Land, John Porter, Pat McCabe, Jim Bass, Jim Roblyer, Harold Johnson and Bill Adams. The Indians placed two seniors on the sportswriters' team, Walter Land, first team, and Jody Farris, sec- ond team. Land won a place on the state tournament All-Star first team and Junior Jerry Tillery earned a second team berth. At press time it was announced that Center Walter Land had received the coveted honor of being named to the Daily Okla- homan's All-State Team.

What are you going to be? What are you going to do? The answer to these important questions ore being satisfactorily solved by the students who are pursuing part-time train- ing through the direction and supervision af- forded in th program of Trade and Industrial Training. This year thirty-five students were en- rolled in T and I classes. This program is designed to provide vocational education through classroom study and actual experi- ence on the job. In this type of procedure the students who are employed in local busi- ness end trade establishments make a daily study of the many technical and related things pertaining to their trade job in part- time employment. Thus the gap between school and employment is carefully and sys- tematically bridged. The training in which the students are engaged represents many interesting and worthwhile vocations. Auto mechanics, butch- ers, dieticians, legal secretaries, machinists, display persons, nurse aides, nursery men, sales persons, secretaries, service station man- agers, stock keepers, warehouse men, and parts men represent the trades being learned by these students. Students in Trades and Industry classes have exceptionally full doys, reporting to classes at 7:45 a m , remaining in classes until noon, then reporting to their various employers at 1:00 p.m. to work for the remain- der of the day. The highlights of this year's activities were out-of-town events. At the Western District T and I Youth Development Day at Duncan, El Reno T and I was well represent- ed. Another was the annual Trades and In- dustrial Field Doy at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds, Oklahoma City, in conjunction with the Science Fair, on April 10th. As in years post, El Reno T and I carried off their share of the honors in winning many of the trade contests in which they participated 79 Dr. Jomcs L.
