TO OUR MOST RESPECTED SCIENCE TEACHER, MR. LLOYD WHITE, WHO HAS BEEN OUR FAITHFUL SPONSOR, AND TO OUR MOST HONORABLE BOARD OF EDUCATION, WE, THE SENIORS OF 1017 of S. II. S., DEDICATE THE SAYANORA. LLOYD K. WHITE, SCIENCE Baker University, Baldwin, Kansas [3] PROF. A. C. COI1 AG AN, SUPERINTENDENT In the year 1908 Prof. A. C. Cohagan became Superintendent of the Sapulpa schools. Prior to 1908 very little had been done in regard to their improvement. At present the City of Sapulpa has four excellent grade schools and one high school. Due to the earnest work of our Superintendent the schools at present are in very good condition and are steadily improving. Next year we are assured that our new high school building will be completed and that Mr. Cohagan’s work in the future will only raise his present high standing.

When you were a bunch of Freshies, And many things you did not know, Of English, Geometry and Latin; From Algebra you sometimes shied, Do you think you’d ever been Seniors, If you had not determined to try? Why do you always laught at us, And treat us as if we were very small, Then come around and hunt us up, To help you play baseball ? We know we are nothing but Freshies, But just you wait and see; We’ve got the right stuff in us, And Seniors we’re bound to be In the Senior Class there are very few Who have failed in a subject the whole year thru; But wait till we get in the Senior Class, And we will show you how to pass. You’re four long years ahead of us, But we can catch you, though; Because with flying colors, Through High School we will go. Now let’s all be the best of friends, In school’s hard troubles and strife; Because we may need each other, In the harder battles of life. M. M. ’21.

[21 ] HIS morning when I awoke the glorious springtime enshrouded the whole earth in beauty and happiness. As I gazed out of the window 1 could see the enchanting Atlantic Ocean mischievously rocking the sail boats to and fro. I decided that this was an ideal day to begin a sequel on my latest book, “The Rose Path,” for which the public had been clamoring since I had given them the last one some few months ago. Two hours later found me at my desk, preparing to write, when all at once I noticed a lovely little calendar, evidently left for me by a friend, and as it was a depiction of spring, 1 examined it more closely. To my great surprise I found the name of the painter was Laura Carmoney, an old school-mate. Coincidence would have it that just exactly twelve years ago this very day Laura and I both graduated from S. H. S. Imagine Laura being an artist. I always thought she would be a missionary. Why, I have an idea: Why not start my sequel and have for the characters the members of my Senior class. Let me see— there was James Burgess, who always coveted fame; at last his wish had been granted. I read in the paper recently that he had been sent to Congress by the Woman Suffrage Party of Oklahoma. You never can tell about some individuals. Sometimes they give you the surprise of your existence. However, such is life. Anna McEuen and Beulah Mallory, the “gigglers of the Senior Class,” still giggle, giggle, and giggle some more. They are making quite a hit in vaudeville as the “Gold Dust Twins.” Adelbert Trotter, then known as “Deb,” has taken up Mormonism, and his doting Mamma is very proud of his slowly gaining fame and notoriety. Adelbert was always such a dear little lamb; so religious, too. Cpal Shafer is now head matron in the insane asylum at Norman. The last time I saw her she said that a man named Imel was confined in the dangerous ward, who all the time was raving over the greenness of a certain Geometry class. I wonder if it could be the same Mr. Imel------? Well, anyway the name sounds very familiar to me. May Scott, the genius of the Senior class, is still a genius. She is police-woman in our home city of Sapulpa, and latest Sa-pulpa papers say that she has a good chance of being appointed police-chieftess. Vera Perry, the tall girl of our class, we all thought she would be a stenographer, but she is now teaching classic dancing in New York City at Birtchiel Academy. Height doesn’t hinder everything. Beatrice McCrady, the “French beauty” [22] of the class, is now Mayoress of the great city of Beggs. Imagine Beatrice doing things of this sort when, with her beauty, she could have all the crown heads of Europe bow to her. 1 guess she thought her beauty would do more for humanity in governing city affairs than be responsible for duels fought and blood shed. Ruth Desmukes is now one of the world’s greatest pianists. I can’t imagine Ruth getting up enough courage to play before great audiences—she used to be so timid. Dan Brown, the efficient president of the Senior class, is now in a twenty-five cent stock company, where he has the leading role, a Japanese acrobat, and the newspapers say he interperts his part as well as a real Jap. Dan always was a genius, though. Ettagrace Spurgin is heralded as the most dashing American woman in England. She gained her universal fame by being called the “much married lady.” One of her victims died, she deserted six, then killed three. Her latest husband, Charlie Chaplin, says he has no idea how long his vampire wife will spare his life. I think Charlie had better be prepared at any time. Leota Morgan is being raved over, in all the leading newspapers. She is better known as “Babe,” the dancing doll, employed at the leading cabarets of Chicago and New York City. To think of Leota being a dancing doll—my goodness! I always prophecied she would be a dear little brown-eyed nurse taking care of the injured American soldiers. Brice Hickey is making quite a name for himself in the “sport world,’ as the greatest aviator now living,—flying on the ground. I predicted the career of a bird-man for him soon after he displayed so much talent in the Senior play. Georgia Winget is a great actress, called a second Sarah Bernhardt, all except for the wooden leg. Georgia hasn’t had any accidents yet with the exception of falling over the foot-lights and down onto the orchestra below. Lucille Hanrahan, the missionary, is doing excellent work in converting the heathens. The little Chinks seem to like her very much, as they call her “auntie.” Gladys Fox is a great sculptress in Naples. Her works are among the greatest exhibited, and her dumb animal characters are very real and life-like, especially the kittens. Lucille McCabe owns a chicken ranch in California, and she is very prosperous, too. Lucille never married—nevertheless she won’t be called an “old maid.” She emphatically asked me to remember her as a “bachelor-girl.” I can’t think of Lucille being a bachelor-girl. There must be some mistake. Anyway, I haven’t seen her for two years—maybe things have changed in the course of time. Recalling memories of my early life for the past two hours, I emerged from my reverie thoughtful and melancholy. As my thoughts drifted back over the early years of my life, many of their events interested me beyond words. First, there I was, a very little girl, sheltered from the activities of the world. Then, the years passed, one by one, until I came to the turning point of my life, graduation and the choosing of a vocation. As I sat thinking of my own vocation, and also the vocations of my eighteen class mates, I determined to write a story of memories, memories of school days and class mates. L. S. ’17. [23] CLASS HISTORY N the fall of 1913 about fifty Freshmen entered the High School and of course their ignorance was the source of great amusement to the older classes. Before long they had organized and elected as their officers: Walter Burgess, president; Edwin Payne, vice-president, and Helen Cantrell, secretary and treasurer. They enthusiastically chose their class colors, green and white, to represent the usual qualities of Freshmen—ignorance and purity. They held one social event during the year, a very enjoyable hayrack ride. They came back the next year more enthusiastic than before. Their class officers for the year were: Walter Burgess, president; Audrey Lindsey, vice-president, and Beulah Mallory, secretary and treasurer. This year they began to take a more prominent part in the school activities than previously. Some of the boys played on the football team, and in the spring, when a tennis tournament was held, in which each class was represented, the representatives of the Sophomore class won first place. After signing the “Pledge of Peace” they held a Hallowe’en party, and later a Forty-two party at the Domestic Science building. Needless to say, each was a success. As Juniors, they became known for their unusual number of class meetings they held and their fondness for electing officers. They had only five presidents— Anna McEwen was the last. As she became president so near the last of the year, no one was elected to fill her place as vice-president. The secretary and treasurer was Beulah Mallory. Considerable attention was given to school athletics by the class. Eight of the boys were members of the football team and three of the baseball team. In the county track meet some of them were among the winners. When the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs gave “Pinafore,” one of the leading parts belonged to Beatrice Mc-Crady, a Junior. One of the highest honors they received during the whole year was when Leota Morgan, one of their class, was elected May Queen by popular vote. After a great deal of hard work, in which their ingenuity and perseverance were well displayed, they succeeded in raising funds for an elaborate Junior-Senior banquet, one of the best that any class has ever given in S. H. S. Seniors at last! It sounded big, but not quite so big as it had sounded to them when they were Freshmen. Very soon after the beginning of school, they reorganized, elected their officers: Charles Bartlett, president; Anna McEwen, vice-president, and Beulah Mallory, secretary and treasurer. They began to study hard at the very first of school, as each one was so eager to graduate. Immediately after the holidays Daniel Brown was chosen president to fill the vacancy created by the former one who resigned and entered another school. As in the preceding year, the class was well represented in the school athletics. During the latter part of the year the class play, “The Sky Riders,” was given, and enjoyed by everyone. All through their high school course the class had the usual difficulties to meet, but they cheerfully surmounted each and every obstacle and it is to be hoped that each member will always be just as happy as he was in S. H. S. [24] CDEJ ) - ‘ LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT E, the Seniors of ’17, Sapul-pa High School, City of Sa-pulpa.

Signed, sealed, published and declared for their last will and testament by the above named testators, in our presence, who have at their request, and in their presence, and in the presence of each other. (Signed) HAM AND BUD. [25] TO THE CLASS OF ’17 Oh, here’s a toast to the Seniors, Who leave old High this year! Here’s to their prosperity. May each have a glorious career! S. H. S. has known us well, And we’re sorry to say good-bye, Since much of her joy and glory, We shared with dear old High. ’Tis for you we leave behind, To make our school still better; And whether you win or whether you lose Be loyal, and stick together. So now we Seniors bid “Adieu,” Wishing a word of joy to you; To Sapulpa High we give this paean, We, the Seniors of ’17. L. S. [26] [27] JUNIOR CLASS POEM Let’s give three cheers for this Class of ’18, We’re the jolliest class you’ve ever seen, We were Freshies once, and Sophomores, too. And in one more year we’ll all be through. Our path has not always been easy and smooth, But there has been plenty to cheer and to soothe, Our teachers have helped us in every way, A hundred times, at least, each day. We’ve had a good time as we’ve gone along, Though some of our lessons we all got wrong. The parties we gave were always such fun, W e’ll remember them all when school days are done. Our pennants were taken, and ruined for fair, But we can get others, so we don’t care. We’ve worked hard and faithfully the whole course through, And we hope next year to be Seniors, too. So let’s give three rahs for the Class of ’18, And then three rahs for the Freshies green, Now give three more for the Sophomores, And close with three rahs for the Seniors of ’17. R. J. M. ’18.

Quite condescendingly we allowed our fellow' students, the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, to have their bit of fun at our expense, and quietly bided our time, ’til, as Sophomores, we rather evened things up a bit. Next year, the Seniors were rather fond of displaying their supremacy at every opportunity, and w'hen a beautiful Sophomore pennant was proudly hung upon the assembly wall, and we departed feeling much elated, those Seniors — stately, dignified Seniors—proceeded to “confiscate” and destroy our emblem. This year we delved still further into search for knowledge, emerging from all-important Sophomores, to quiet, studious, Juniors. Our social activities opened with a masquerade party on Hallowe’en, which was held at the Domestic Science Hall. The hall was decorated with becoming Hallowe’en suggestions, such as leaves, pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and numerous cats and wdtches artistically arranged. A poor, little, old woman, bent and withered, told the fortunes of those present. Many unusual and becoming costumes were displayed. A light two-course luncheon was served at a late hour. The chaperones of the occasion were the members of the faculty. Many other entertainments followed. On December the eighth a play w'as given, entitled, “The Model Wife,” under the coaching of Miss Rieman, English instructor. The participants displayed much skill and talent. Again we endeavored to place a pennant over the entrance to the W'est wing, and to prevent the Seniors from destroying it, had it painted on the wall in our class colors. That night there w'as quite a pugilistic manifestation of the antagonism that existed between the two classes, and Mr. Imel, asserting his power, compelled the boys to scrape the pennant from the wall. So ended our second attempt to immortalize our class by decorating the study hall. This ends the past. We look forward to accomplishing great things in the future, when the success we achieve will depend on the efforts we put forth to grasp it. [31 ] JUNIOR CLASS PROPHECY T was in the spring of 1930 that 1 made my trip to “little old New York.” I left Sapulpa in the morning and went by southern route through Tennessee and Georgia. When I reached Atlanta I visited my friend, Mrs. V. Ray, formerly Miss Hattie Felkel, and had a good old-fashioned chat. She has kept in touch with several of our old school mates of whom I have long wished to hear. She said Olive Anderson is now in the aviation corps, working for France. She is at the head of the Paris branch and had been doing most excellent and daring work. Then of course, when we thought of Olive we thought of Ruth Moulder and the Ingraham boys. Ruth is now a very slender cabaret dancer and lives in Paris, Texas. Dan is governor of New Mexico, while Sam is “Ruler of the Queen’s Navy,” in London, his one great aspiration. I was glad to hear thus good news about old friends, but was somewhat surprised when she told me that W. W. Wise was general manager of the only hotel in Bingville, Missouri. He is also society editor of the Suffragette Magazine. Eulala Watson is an automobile fiend, having won in three international races at Chicago. Jane Pennington, now Mrs. Jack Marshall, and her husband are teaching school in Hobart, Oklahoma. Mrs. Gladys Hill Carter has charge of a hospital in San Francisco. Her husband is traveling salesman for the Buick Automobile Company. Poor Margaret Hennage lost the election for mayor of Syracuse, New York, but was later elected county sheriff and with her trusty deputy, Helen Nichols, has a notable record for catching thugs. Her sister, Mrs. Dorothy Hennage Van Renselaer, I oomis, Haines, has just been granted her third divorce, from Virteese Haynes. She will now travel for a moving picture association. One day while down town we were very much astonished to see three members of S. H. S. walking arm in arm down 23rd street. They were Curtis Lance, Lugene Hatfield and Raymond Carey. Lugene and Curtis had just been married and we insisted upon them all coming to the house for a wedding dinner. Then Raymond broke the news. He was to be married to Mrs. Zela Tubman Sheffield within a month. It had been a long chase between Mahlon and Raymond until Mahlon married her. Then she divorced him, so Raymond has at last nearly gained his heart’s desire. In the afternoon we went to the Ringling Circus, and whom did we see in the ring but Walt Burgess, now a first-class clown, and Evelyn Holtzclaw, champion at a standing high jump on a running horse. After the show we went in to see them and they told us of a few more friends. “Pres” Elliott, modern house-husband, is now lecturing for the cause, after many years experience. His wife, Helen Trone, goes along to show how efficiently the wife can be the wage earner. After a visit with her I left for Washington, D. C. On my very first trip to the Senate I discovered Merle Harrison, now chief of Oklahoma women representatives. Among Oklahomans were: Erma DeVillers, Dee Mose and Martha Robinson. As I was going through the White House, I of course must see that model of kitchens. There was the jolly old chef, the short Japanese waiter and Lilliam Broome and Harry Brown now married, washing dishes to the tune of a brand new Victrola. All White House employees now insist upon music while they work. I spoke to Merle while there and she told me about some members of S. H. S., while I related what I had heard of others. She had just received a letter from Mrs. Irene Summers Van Loon, now a happy miner’s wife with a brood of ten children. Irene was gloating over the news she had just received that Ona Ray had won the tennis championship for the United States. Opal Rynearson is conductor [32] in one of the aerial cars running between Chicago and San Francisco. When I reached New York I had a severe pain in my head, supposedly from traveling, and consulted the evening paper for a competent doctor. The advertisement which first caught my eyes, probably because the name was a familiar one, was “Consult Dr. R. G. Manning when in pain; the most scientific and noted curer of all necessary evils.” Of course I consulted my old friend. In the office was a very strange looking, short, wiry man with a very heavy long, black beard. I was frightened, but he spoke to me in a familiar voice and finally, after a great deal of laughter, told me that he was only an old acquaintance and a queer college professor. I later learned that he was Ruby Brown. His sister-in-law, Mrs. Louise Elkins Brown, had mentioned my name at breakfast or he would not have remembered or recognized me. (How complimentary). She is a member of the Washwomen’s League, an organization for the betterment of washing clothes and the exclusive use of green soap and soft water. In the evening I went to see the great Prima Donna, Mademoiselle Irene Valentine, who is now the modem Gluck. The next day I found the address of Miss Aleen Schall in the directory, and called upon her. She is the most expert speed typist in the world. The only person coming near her rate being Miss Delia Avery. Then we three went to the famous New York Zoo. We saw many wonders, some of them being. Sis Hopkins, “the only genuine Sis Hopkins in the World” and Sis Taylor, “the most phenomenal and daring acrobat ever owned by the Zoo.” But my happy times in New York were soon over and I received a wire from my brother to come at once to the plains of Arizona and attend his wedding to Marguerite Paour. On arriving I bought an evening paper and observed that the editor was “Stell” Wharton, a most ardent suffragette and man-hater. One day while on a general exploration tour of the country, I was on the brink of a deep canyon, my horse slipped and—“Mary, Mary, wake up! Time to go to school.

He wonders, will he master quite, The contents of those covers bright, That plauge his hearing and his sight With merciless exaction. But when the paroxism’s past The Freshman turns enthusiast, And works away until the last, Then Sophomore he becomes. As Sophomore, hard he works, you bet, And says, “I’ll be a Junior yet,” For on this goal his eyes are set, To nothing he’ll succumb. Now, that is just what we’ve been through; Of course, we realize, ’tis true, That our ambition’s raised anew, For Seniors soon we’ll be.

H. S. I heard the Freshmen boys whistling that old familiar song, “No More Childhood Books for a Freshman Now to Be,” and my thoughts traveled backward and I distinctly remembered my first day as a Freshman. But poor, poor little Freshmen! How my Senior heart doth pine for you, for once I was a Freshman, too, a green, timid Freshman. Freshie dears, if you won’t divulge my secret, I’ll tell you it wasn’t so long ago either. I, too, was timid, very timid, especially around those teacher-looking beings, whom 1 afterwards learned were Seniors. Nevertheless, you need not fear them, because they were Freshmen long before attaining that degree of Sen-iorship. Our little Freshmen filed into the auditorium at S. H. S.. feeling very much out of place, for every time they happened to glance around, they spied the Juniors and Sophomores looking at them, and they were laughing so hilariously that the ignorant little Freshmen were about to burst into tears. When Mr. Imel rang the first class bell the young Freshmen looked at each other and in frightened whispers debated the horrid old bell. One small Freshman boy began to cry so piteously that even the hard-hearted Juniors felt sorry for him. Dear, generous, sympathetic Mr. Imel went back where the Freshmen were seated, and explained the meaning of the bells to the youngsters. (Mr. Imel will always have a friend in the Freshmen), and as he walked back to his desk, a Senior of good standing told me that he wiped away a tear or two; was it possible that Mr. Imel remembered when he was a Freshman? The children, thinking all dangers past, marched to their respective class-rooms, feeling very brave. Noiselessly creeping into their seats, the little ones hardly dared to breathe. As they were sitting thus, they were awakened from their trances by the sweet voice of a teacher calling the roll. Miss Keiger told me an amusing joke about one little fellow. She said that she asked him his name and it almost frightened him to death. He burst into tears and said, “I have forgotten my name.” Of course Miss Keiger sympathized with him and gently patted him on the shoulder, for she remembered when she used to be a Freshman. As the Freshmen passed back to their seats from the class-rooms, the Seniors, Sophomores and Juniors nearly killed themselves laughing. Our little friends couldn’t imagine what the joke was, but some day they will know. Listen, Freshie dears, when you get to be Seniors you may laugh at your younger class-mates, but for goodness sakes, don’t display your characteristics by laughing and trying to appear cute when you are a MERE Junior. As for laughing at Freshmen when you are a Sophomore, well—the least said the better. Children, when you all get to be Seniors, laugh, laugh to your hearts content at Freshmen, Sophomores and last but not least, those egotistical Juniors. As a last word to you, dear little Freshmen, we, the Seniors, are very proud of our youngest class-mates, for in 1921 you will take your stand in S. H. S. as Seniors— just think of it, real, live, dignified Seniors. L. S. ’17.

S. organized two literary societies, the Delphians and Sigma Deltas. Of the Sigma Deltas we know very little, but as to the Delphians we are more fortunate in keeping their history, for they have made for themselves a record that will long live in the minds of the faculty and the members of the society. Under the leadership of Chester Coha-gan, our first president, the society gave program after program that met with much enthusiasm from all who heard them. The second year Herbert Bassett was our president and this year we decided to hold a contest with the Sigma Deltas. The Sigma Deltas won this contest and the following year, under the leadership of Loy Wilson, we were again defeated by our rival society, the Sigma Deltas. Idst year, 1915-1916, under the guidance of our president, John Cantrell, in the contest for the loving cup we defeated the Sigma Deltas, not mentioning the athletic defeats they had received at the hands of their opponents, the De'phians. This year, 1916-1917, we have elected the following officers, to whom we look to guide us to success in our annual contest with the Sigma Deltas: President Walter Burgess Vice-President Watson Wise See.-Treas.

H. S,. one of which was called the Delphian and the other the Sigma Delta. Many programs were given throughout the school year, and in this way much talent was discovered. The year 1913-14 was a very good one for our society. At the beginning of the year our membership and talent were both increased. In the spring the first contest was held between the two societies, the Sigma Deltas winning the loving cup, which was presented by Mr. Egan. This victory was made possible by the untiring work of the contestants and the president, Leo DuBois. The work during the year 1914-15 was equally as enthusiastic as that of the preceding one. Baseball games were held dur- ing the year between the two societies and the customary programs were given. The president was David Hilles. Again we won the loving cup in the annual contest between the two societies. Programs were carried on as usual during the year 1915-16. David Hilles was again our president. We let the Delphians have the honor of winning the' cup this year because we wanted to keep it in dear old S. H. S. Our interest in our society this year has not waned and all are now working hard for the contest, w'hich we hope to w’in.

We were all very much disappointed that the opera, “Polished Pebbles ’ which we had planned to present in April, had to be postponed, due to the revival meetings, in which most of our girls and boys were chorus members.

H. S. The student body, as a whole, has been noted for its talent, and a number of good plays have been staged. There have been several good comedies given by former classes; also a number of musical dramas by the glee clubs. The standard has bean kept up, this year, through the efforts of Miss Rieman and Miss Alger. They put forth a great effort to bring out the best talent and make every member of the cast a “star.” There have been two plays given this year. “The Sky Riders,” ’by the Senior class, and “His Model Wife,” by the Junior class. [(52 1 SCENE FROM “THE SKY RIDERS' “THE SKY RIDERS “The Sky Riders,” a three-act comedy, given by the Seniors of Sapulpa High School, well deserves the credit of being the most successful production given during the year. This play was indeed a great success. It was coached by Miss Alger, to whom great honor should be given. Every member of the cast deserves special mention. Each took his part well and rendered his interpretation with ability. This splendid work will long be remembered, and the Senior class of T7 wish the future classes good fortune in their attempts.

Rose Wilkonson [64] THE PASSING OF ARTHUR The passing of Arthur is sad but true, And if you’ve read it, you’ll feel quite blue. It was just on account of the sin of two, So be very, very careful what you do. Arthur was as strong as he could be, He broke the heathen and felled the tree. He loved his wife, but Lancelot won, Then Arthur said. “What’s to be done?” She went to a convent bleak and dread, He to his home, causing many a tear. She lived a life of pain and regret, And he. I suppose, regrets his sin yet. Arthur had trusted his friend and Guinevere, And his was the trust that had caused the tear. The kingdom after this soon went to waste. Because Guinevere had acted in haste. So in this civilized age, dear friend of mine. Be careful whom you trust or you will find— That he whom you love and honor the most, Will deceive you even if you are his host. H. T. ’19. [65] A STRANGE EXPERIENCE HAD always been more or less interested in the study of the ancient religions of Persia, but, thru lack of opportunity, was hampered by my ignorance of any of the languages in which the original documents were written. At last a chance presented itself—to overcome this impediment. My mere interest grew to earnest enthusiasm. 1 studied zealously for several years; gave my whole time to reading from the sources. As an outcome of my study, I was sent by Harvard College to take up more thoroughly the course I had chosen. I had been in Persia a comparatively short time, when, in going through the archives of the Royal Library at Teheran, I came upon a description which startled me, to say the least. My curiosity was aroused by this strange story, but I soon persuaded myself of its utter impossibility. I continued my work with ever renewed vigor. I used to go for days without food that I might finish some long-forgotten work of some long forgotten author. My earnest enthusiasm had grown to a wild desire to clear away the mist surrounding the learning of these early theologians. It was during one of my intellectual fasts that I came upon a later version of the same story that had so excited my inquisitiveness but a short time before. In comparison they agreed exactly. This second writing, in my mind, proved the first. I was convinced of their being the works of different writers; the wording, the phraseology, the dates in relation to contemporary historic events, all helped to strengthen my conviction. My curiosity, I admit, here overpowered me, and, not satisfied with the authority of others, I decided to investigate for myself. I obtained permission from the Persian government in my own words, “To excavate,” a certain piece of territory “in the interest of science.” I hired workmen, purchased the necessary equipment, and commenced the work. In my imagination I pictured the outcome of my investigations. Unfortunately that imaginary picture strayed far from the final, sad, reality. I read again and again the story and each time vividly illustrated it with the wildest of dreams. I seldom slept, seldom ate, constantly and hopefully worked. The feeble finances of the project shook under the heavy weight of the long and seemingly unsuccessful work. Dispar-ringly I gave up, yet my sub-conscience bade me continue. And not without avail. Upon the thirtieth day of March, in the year eighteen hundred and fifty-seven, a date that I would place second only to that of the Creation—my wildest dreams, my most vivid imaginings— proved false—Oh! but delightfully so. They were blasted by a sight beyond my power to justly describe. It was a city, not dead and decaying, not of ruined houses, of time-destroyed temples, but a living, thriving city, buried deep in the earth, peopled with a race as old as are the yellowed parchments in Teheran. You say “Impossible!” Believe or hold my story incredible, but is not sight one’s best authority ? And yet, as a reward, I spent my many precious hours in the MacDonald Sanatorium for the Insane, with, opposite my name in the records: “a most dangerous case.” [66] IT ISN’T TOUR SCHOOL, IT’S YOU If you want to live in the kind of a school That’s the kind of a school you like. You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You’ll fine elsewhere what you left behind For there’s nothing that’s really new; It’s a knock at yourself when you knock the school: It isn’t your school, it’s you. Real schools are not made by men afraid. Lest somebody else gets ahead; When everyone works and no one shirks You can raise a school from the dead. And if you make your personal stake Your neighbor can make one, too; Your school will be what you want to see, It isn’t your school—it’s you. D. B. T7. THE BAD LITTLE GIRL ’Twas in the Christmas holidays, And Marion must mend her ways, Or get no stocking full of toys, Nor play with other girls and boys, Which was her chief delight in life She was so very, very bad, Her sins were great in number She teased the neighbor’s old black cat, And sat on father’s best black hat. Which was an accident, of course, But mother did not think of that, And Marion cried till she was hoarse, She really did repent it. And said she had not meant it. She tried so hard to mend her ways. That father soon forgave her, When Christmas came she was so good, They praised her good behavior. She got her share of Christmas things, And made her parents glad as kings. R. J. M. ’18. [67] THE WEB OF LIFE N the far shore of an eastern country there stood a boy, tall, straight, and immovable, except his eyes, which were watching with admiration the sun just rising over the world, with it’s golden beams of splendor. Suddenly a mass of threads, silver, gold, strong, weak, new, and old, was thrust into his hand from out of the air. A voice spoke softly, “Weave carefully this day as you never have before.” The boy was struck with astonishment, but having nothing to do, he complied with the request. He wove, and wove, sometimes putting in old, or weak threads, and sometimes new and strong ones, until the sun sank in the west. At this moment a strong gust of wind caught the threads and took them out of his sight forever. Again the voice spoke, this time more soft and lower than before: “That, thou hast woven, will be thy apparel on the morrow.” The boy looked at the cloth he had woven. Gold, silver, mixed with old and weak threads composed his cloth. “1 cannot wear this,” replied the boy, but his weaving for the day was done and the opportunity gone forever. From this we get the lesson to always weave gold and silver threads, and never let our opportunity go by our door, unheeded. R. N. ’21. (What a Freshie absorbed from a lecture given before the high school assembly). MY FIRST AUTOMOBILE HEY all nagged me to get an automobile I ordered it out of a mail order catalogue and in about ten days it came, by freight. We hauled it up to the house and I tried to start it. I turned the crank until 1 was blue in the face. Then I got out the book of rules, and the more I read the less I knew about the thing. By that time all the town was up there giving me advice. Joshua Jones thought I didn’t have the right kind of gasoline and wanted to sell me a barrel he had at the store. Nancy said the bobbin was wound too tight or the shuttle was threaded wrong. Deacon Weatherspoon wanted to offer prayer. Johnnie Willis found a place for a plug. 1 turned that crank and you should have heard it shoot off. as I jumped in on the fly. It began to rare and snort, and started off like a thunderbolt. It went through a fence and set Weaver’s wheat field on fire. It kept right on going; I worked every lever it had, and every one made it go faster. It wouldn’t be right to tell what Ezra Hopkins was saying, but Nancy said it sounded like he was talking to the Lord. I managed to steer it on the turnpike road, but that didn’t help matters much as it only hit the road once in a long while. It took a side off the covered bridge and ran into a hay stack. That’s all I remember now. All I have to show for that joy ride is a broken leg, two rubber tires, seven law suits and a mortgage on the farm. I ain’t saying much, but I got a lingering suspicion that I will do all my joy riding in the buckboard wagon after this. J. T. ’20. [68 1 THE HAUNTED HOUSE SjllE night was dark and very very stormy when Agnes Lockwood rushed hurriedly into the Hotel DeMont-barry. She was on the way to her aunt’s, where she was to make her home; her thoughts being only with the circumstances surrounding her father’s mysterious death. Upon entering her room Agnes looked vacantly into the black space around. Her thoughts reverted to the miserable man she believed had wronged her father. A sudden fear of herself startled her physically as well as mentally. Throwing her hat down and pulling off her coat, she lighted the candles upon the mantlepiece, impelled by a sudden craving for light in the solitude of her room. Then she prepared herself for bed. She extinguished the candles, with the exception of one, which she placed on the table by the side of the bed. She sighed faintly—and sank into sleep. How long she slept is not known, but she awoke instantly, and without knowing why, sat up in the bed listening for, she knew not what. Her head was in a whirl; her heart beat furiously. While she had been asleep the candle had gone out. The room was in total darkness. She wondered what had caused her to awaken so suddenly. Had it been the influence of a dream ? She had not dreamed at all. The mystery was beyond all reason. She struck the match on the box and lighted the candle again. As the light spread its rays over the room Agnes turned around, a sudden terror gripped her around the heart. She was not alone in her room! There in a chair at the bedside was the figure of a woman reclining, her head lay back over the chair, her eyes were closed. Agnes’ courage returned to her. “Wake up,” she called. “How dare you come here? How did you get in? How dare you come here? Leave the room or I will call for help.” She did not succeed in rousing the sleeping woman. Her first thought was to call some of the servants, so she turned to the other side of the bed and reached for the bell. Her hand fell helplessly at her side. She shuddered and sank back on the pillow; she had seen another intruder. No supernatural change had passed over the room, or was perceptible in it now. The dumbly, tortured figure in the chair, and all the objects in the room remained unchanged. One sight more utterably horrid had been added to the rest. By the yellow candle light she saw the head, distinctly hovering in mid-air above her. The flesh of the face was gone and the skin dark and shriveled. The eyelids closed, thin remains of a discolored mustache hanging over the upper lip, made the head recognizable as that of a man. By slow degrees the hovering head began to descend toward Agnes. Downward and downward over her, until it stopped and turned slowly. The closed eyelids opened. Agnes saw the icy stare, which was fixed upon the figure in the chair, saw the eyelids of the woman open, and saw no more until she was awakened at her aunt’s home. But of the horrible apparition that she had seen, no explanation can be given, other than that the place in which she spent the night had long been called, “The Haunted Hotel.” A. M. ’17.

Mrs. Frank McCrady chaperoned the party. JUNIOR PARTY One of the most enjoyable events of the year was the Junior party, March the 8th, at the home of Miss Merle Harrison, on South Maple. The home was decorated in the class colors. Various games were played during the early part of the evening. Later, refreshments consisting of sandwiches. hot chocolate, salad, and dessert were served by the Misses Helen Taylor, Mary Redd, Gladys Hill and Merle Harrison. After the refreshments an automobile ride was enjoyed by all, after which the guests were taken to their homes. CHI OMEGA PSI The Misses Anna McEuen, Beulah Mallory and Georgia Winget entertained the members of the Chi Omega Psi with an eight o’clock dinner, March 22nd. At the appointed hour the guests were ushered into the large dining room of the McEuen home, where the dinner was served. The color scheme, yellow and white, was carried out to perfection throughout the dinner, which consisted of: SOPHOMORE PARTY On the night of February 24, the doors of the Domestic Science parlors were thrown open to the Sophomore Class. The evening was spent in playing games. A contest was held, the result of which was a tie between Walter Wilson and Byron Stinson, but was finally decided in favor of Walter Wilson. The prize was a box of chocolates. Refreshments consisting of ice cream, cake, coffee, and sandwiches were served to about sixty guests. LINE PARTY The Misses Ruth Desmukes and Gladys Fox entertained the members of the Chi Omega Psi at a line party March 7th. The members of the club met at the home of Miss Beatrice McCrady and from there departed to the Empress theatre, where seats were reserved.

[71] MUSKOGEE FOOTBALL DANCE The boys opened the social activities of the year with a dance at the Lee Hall, Friday, October 20th, in honor of the Muskogee football team. The dance was well attended, there being a large crowd of Muskogee girls present as well as Sapulpa girls. The Moulder Orchestra furnished music throughout the evening. JUNIOR HALLOWE'EN PARTY The Junior Class entertained with a Hallowe’en party November 26th in the Domestic Science building. The halls were dimly lighted and in the corner of one of the rooms was a booth, covered with corn stalks, for the fortune teller. All guests were masked. After some time of guessing, the masks were removed. For being the least known Miss Lillian Lynch received the prize, a candy box filled with dill pickles. The remainder of the evening was spent in various games and contests, after which a dainty two-course luncheon was served. SENIOR HALLOWE’EN PARTY Miss May Scott entertained the members of the Senior Class with a Hallowe’en party at her home about three miles northwest of the city Friday, October 27th. The guests were taken to the Scott home by Charles Bartlett and as he was unacquainted with the road, the first car load was landed about one-half mile from its destination. The crowd, consisting mostly of girls, was rescued by a courteous lady, who accompanied them as they stumbled over rocks until they eventually reached the Scott home and awaited the arrival of the second car load, which was more fortunate in finding the right road. The guests were met at the door by a ghost with icy hands. The walls were artistically decorated with black cats, moons, and witches. One of the interesting features of the evening was the grand march through the pastures, fields and cockle burrs. Then those noble Seniors danced the Virginia Reel on the lawn to the music of the Victrola, after which an elaborate two-course luncheon was served. At a very late hour the guests departed for their respective homes. SOPHOMORE PARTY Miss Hattie Felkel entertained the members of the Sophomore Class with a party at her beautiful home, on November 24th. Various games and contests were indulged in during the evening, after which a luncheon, consisting of sandwiches and hot chocolate, was served to about thirty guests. KID PARTY Miss Lucile Hanrahan entertained the members of the Chi Omega Psi with a kid party at her home on South Main Street, April 12. All guests were dressed like JUNIOR PARTY [72] small children, except Georgia Winget, who represented a governess. After all kinds of quarrels in kid fashion, and games, the guests were told to hunt for candy. A thorough search of every room was made. Georgia Winget and Ettagrace Spurgin received the prizes for finding the greatest number of sticks, while Lucile McCabe received the consolation prize. After being entertained with music, the guests were served an elaborate three-course luncheon. A number of flashlight pictures were taken of the occasion. Those present were: Misses Leota Morgan, Ruth Desmukes, Gladys Fox, Beulah Mallory, Lucille McCabe, Ettagrace Spurgin, Georgie Winget, Anna McEuen and the hostess, Lucille Hanrahan. HATS! HATS! HATS! The members of the Chi Omega Psi were delightfully entertained with an eight o’clock dinner by Ettagrace Spurgin and Beatrice McCrady, April the twentieth. The guests were ushered into the dining room of the McCrady home by the two hostesses, who were dressed as French serving maids. The dinner, which was served on small tables representing band boxes, was in the form of different styles of hats. The National color scheme was carried out to perfection. Sweet peas were given as favors. Those present were the Misses Ruth Desmukes, Leota Morgan, Lucille Hanrahan, Gladys Fox, Vera Perry, Anna McEuen, Georgia Winget and the two hostesses. [73] ATHLETICS APULPA High School, as in all former years, has taken an active part in athletics during the year ’16 and ’17. Although not so successful as in past years, Sa-pulpa still represents one of the strongest high schools in athletics in the state. The co-operation of the student body makes athletics possible, where, without their aid, failure would be certain. The success of the football team fell a little below the percentage of the team last year. This was due to the fact that the team was almost entirely composed of new players. The team, after starting late, suffered many mishaps during the season. But considering all that, and the fact that it was the lightest in the state, the school is proud to boost the “unlucky eleven.” Lack of sufficient room to play basketball makes it impossible for the school to support this sport. The baseball team, as last year, is known as a fast, hard-working nine. The unfailing support of the school and board are responsible for much of the team’s success. S. H. S. is well represented in tennis and each year wins honors at Norman. Next year Sapulpa High, situated in a new building, will have an advantage over the days of insufficient room. The Saya-nora of ’17 dearly hopes that S. H. S. will maintain and improve her former sports. [75] FOOTBALL [76] FOOTBALL TEAM FOOTBALL SQUAD FOOTBALL Although the 1916 football eleven of Sapulpa High was not as successful as in former years, the team, considering all misfortunes, was a great success. Seven of the “old timers” were exiled from Sapulpa High last year. The team this season was composed of new hands, excepting Bartlett, Burgess and Elliott. It also happened that the new enrollment to the football squad were all very light in weight, making the average of the team about 135 pounds, which is below any high school of the state. To alter difficulties more, the coach arrived three weeks late, and after the first game had been played. But in spite of all these drawbacks the little light team of ’16 established a record when it fought the Muskogee eleven four quarters and held them to only one touchdown and scored an equal number in return.

Atchley when once in possession of the ball, was almost certain for a touchdown. He was very fast on foot and had an eye for running: in an open field. Atchley will perhaps be with the team next year and will be a strength to its number. BARTLETT, LEFT HALF, (CAPTAIN) HEIGHT 5 FT., 10 IN. WEIGHT 100 LBS. Bartlett is admitted to be one of the best back-field high school “girdironsters,” in the state. He plays the game from the start to the finish, and never until the last whistle does he admit defeat. Bartlett is noted for his good nature on the field, and is always speaking words of encouragement to his team-mates. Bartlett was one of the surest tacklers that ever defended Sapulpa High. He finishes high school this year and is a great loss to S. H. S. in the way of athletics. BRUIN, LEFT TACKLE HEIGHT 5 FT., 5% IN. WEIGHT 135 LBS. Bruin was one of Sapulpa’s best defensive men. He always played against a man who outweighed him from twenty to fifty pounds, but nevertheless, he played the game for all his worth, and never a time did S. II. S. call time on account of “Dutch.” Bruin spends another year in high school, and will be one of Sapulpa’s supports next year. BURGESS, RIGHT HALF, (MANAGER) HEIGHT 5 FT., 9 IN. WEIGHT 140 LBS. Burgess has always held the love and trust of [ 79 ] his school and team-mates on account of his ability to know what to do on the field. He always acts in a way that his opponents least expect, thus putting them to a great disadvantage. “Walt” also has the speed and the dive for effective tackling, which he displays in every game. He spends his last year in S. H. S. this year, where he has so long defended successfully the blue and white. EGAN, RIGHT TACKLE HEIGHT 5 FT., 10 IN. WEIGHT 150 LBS. Egan was one of Sapulpa’s strongest factors in the line. He entered the game for victory and fought his opponents over every inch of ground they gained. Egan’s effective playing lay in his power to “break up” interference and to get the runner at the same time. Many a yard of ground Egan saved Sapulpa by his quick tackles on line bucks. Egan will perhaps enroll at Sapulpa High next year, and will be a great strength to her ranks. ELLIOTT, FULL BACK HEIGHT 5 FT., 8 IN. WEIGHT 135 LBS. Elliott, though the lightest full back in the state, played his position during the entire season with the best of results. Nobody ever accused “Pres” of playing dirty, yet whenever he hit a player, either in a tackle or interference, this player never had any desire for the incident to occur again. HICKEY, LEFT END HEIGHT 5 FT., 7 IN. WEIGHT 135 LBS. This was Hickey’s first year on the football team, and he more than made good at left end. On the defense he was a demon and held his own on the offense. A hard and sure tackle, he rarely failed to get his man. He graduates this year, but will continue his athletics elsewhere. DEE MOSE, CENTER HEIGHT 5 FT., 10 IN. WEIGHT 145 LBS. Dee, although playing his first year of foot- ball, proved himself to be one in which dependence could be placed. With his strength and speed he secured as many tackles as was possible for any one. He will be back next year to aid S. H. S. in football. RAY MOSE, RIGHT GUARD HEIGHT 5 FT., 7 IN. WEIGHT 131 LBS. Hay also played his first season this year, but developed himself into a wonderful defensive man. Working beside his brother, he rarely let his man get by. He also showed great head work in blocking interference. He will be back to fight the gridiron battles for S. H. S. next year. MORRIS, HALF BACK HEIGHT 5 FT., 5 IN. WEIGHT 130 LBS. “Hippo” displayed his speed and endurance in all the games of the season. Small but fast, he never fails to hit his man low and with all his weight. He is good in picking an open field and runs a splendid interference. He quit school just after the football season and is a great loss to Sapulpa in football, baseball and track. WILSON, RIGHT END HEIGHT 5 FT., 7% IN. WEIGHT 135 LBS. Wilson, at end, proved himself to be one of the best offensive players of the squad. He was quick to catch the signal and always knew his play. On passes to him, he never missed, but caught many that seemed impossible. He also made very effective interference on end runs. WISE, QUARTER BACK HEIGHT 5 FT., 7 IN. WEIGHT 140 LBS. Wise at all times displayed wonderful talent for head work on the field. He never once hesitated to carry the ball himself when the rest of the back-field were “winded.” At safety he is good as half a dozen men, and he never misses a tackle. He will be a Senior next year and aid in the victories of S. II. S. [80 1 J BASE BALL The 1917 baseball season opened with much more interest than did the football. There were two teams out for practice every night, this enabled the best practice possible. With the old signals and plays used last year and many new ideas introduced by Coach Powers, the team was quickly placed in condition for best results. Kiefer High, as last year, exchanged practice games with Sapulpa, which benefited the team work of both teams. The first of these practice games was played at Sapulpa on March 12th. Owing to the fact that Kiefer’s catcher was ill, and could not be present, the game was very much onesided, and ended in a score of 28 to 3 in favor of S. H. S. The next practice game was at Kiefer on March 20th. This was a closer game, but Sapulpa defeated her neighbors 13 to 9. HENRYETTA-SAPULPA On March 16th the baseball team of S. H. S. .journeyed to Henryetta for a two-day series. This was the first matched game of the season and therefore a disadvantage to Sapulpa, because they were away from home. The first game was a hotly contested battle. The score at the end of the fourth inning was 0 to 0, and each team knew it would take hard playing to win. In the first half of the fifth inning, Ausmus scored for Sapulpa. The next half Henryetta tightened up and sent two runners around the bases before Sapulpa could stop them. Neither team scored during the sixth inning, but Hickey and Miller of Sapulpa both scored in the first half of the seventh. Henryetta received their bats and scored three times in the last half of the eighth. The final score, S. H. S. 3, H. H. S. 5, was relatively speaking, a victory for Sapulpa. The diamond, not laid off to standard rules, was a great disadvantage to the visitors, but was an advantage to those used to it. Sapulpa had the bases full three times, but was unable to score all these three times, while all but three of Henryetta’s men who got on a base scored. The next day, March 17th, the second and last game of the series was played. This was not such a close game, Sapulpa lost almost all interest on account of the unfavorable weather. At the end of the eighth inning the score was slightly in Henryetta’s favor, but Sapulpa tied the score the next inning. The game was continued to thirteen innings, and ended as a tie. Sheffield pitched a wonderful game for Sapulpa, holding his opponents for five innings to two hits and no runs. BRISTOW-SAPULPA Sapulpa played the third game of the baseball season at Bristow on March 23rd. There was a high wind from the north, making it quite unfavorable for a game. At the close of the fourth inning neither team had scored. Both sides tightened up during the next three innings and succeeded in scoring three runs each by the end of the seventh inning. The score remained a tie, 3 to 3, and each team fought hard for victory until the first part of the eleventh inning when Burgess from Sapulpa poled one over left field for a three bagger with the bases full. Bristow came to bat for the last time, but was unable to get a hit from Sapulpa’s fast pitcher, Ausmus, and the game ended 7 to 3 in favor of Sapulpa. SHAWNEE-SAPULPA On March 30th Sapulpa High journeyed to Shawnee for a double-header Friday and Saturday. It was very unfavorable weather for a game, and on account of this and the long trip the team landed almost “played out.’’ Sapulpa lost the first game on account of errors, 5 to 10. The visitors played even as good a game as did their opponents, securing as many hits and fanning as many batters, but luck was against Sapulpa and victory seemed impossible. [82] BASEBALL TEAM [83] The second game was played in the morning and Sapulpa was not once interested in the game. The day resembled a December blizzard more than one on which to stage a baseball game, and S. H. S. gave the victory away, 8 to 2. The return game at Sapulpa resulted in a score of 5 to 4 in favor of Sapulpa. BASEBALL SCHEDULE 1917 March 16 and 17, at Henryetta—Sapulpa 3-15, Henryetta 5-15.

[84] PERSONNEL OF BASE BALL TEAM COLE CATCHER Handicapped with lack of experience, Cole surprised everyone this year with his work behind the bat. His only trouble is that he is weak in the “wing,” but with more practice he will be able to overcome this difficulty. Cole will be with the team next year and should be a strong factor. AUSMUS PITCHER Ausmus has been the mainstay of the team for three years; hurling steadily from the mound, he has won many a game for S. II. S. He more than likely will not be with the team next year, and the nine will lose one whom they could least afford to. MILLER (MANAGER) FIRST BASE Although weak at the bat, Miller has worked superbly at the initial sack, almost rivaling his predecessor. This is his first year on the team, and he will probably play on the team next year. GRIGSBY SECOND BASE Denver was the find of the season. At first it was thought that he was too small to play, but by his sensational work, both on second and at the bat, he won the applause of the players and fans. He is a Freshman and will take active part in baseball during his stay in High School. ELLIOTT SHORT STOP When Elliott made the team in 1915 it was strengthened wonderfully. He has played a consistent game as short stop since that time, and the school wrill need him next year. LINDSEY THIRD BASE Lindsey was kept out of most of the games this season by illness, but his performance in the games that he did play in displayed his baseball talent. This is undoubtedly his last year in High School. BURGESS (CAPTAIN) LEFT FIELD Burgess, the veteran of the team, having played since 1914, played a stellar game in left field. He also performed at the bat with the same steady stride. He may not enroll here next year. WILSON CENTER FIELD Wilson, with three years of experience on the High School nine, has developed to be one of the surest fielders that ever defended Sapulpa’s colors. Wilson is not a one way man either, for at the bat he handles the twisters with ease, and stands among the best batters of the team. He no doubt will be absent from Sapulpa’s line up next year. SHEFFIELD RIGHT FIELD Sheffield’s work in right field has been improved over that of last year. He has also developed into a pitcher, and when Ausmus is not at work he twirls them from the port side, filling the batters with awe. He will no doubt play with the team of ’18. ATCHLEY SUBSTITUTE Atchley played third base most of the time that Lindsey was on the sick list, and held the hot corner down almost as good as his rival. HICKEY SUBSTITUTE This is Hickey’s last year, and had he been a Freshman or Sophomore, instead of a Senior, the team would have been benefited a few years more with his playing. THOMAS SUBSTITUTE Although weak at the bat, Thomas is developing into a good fielder, and next year hs will hold down one of the important field positions. Thomas alternates with Hickey in right field, when Sheffield is pitching. [85] (I TENNIS SQUAD [87] TENNIS In spite of the fact that the interest of tennis is usually interrupted by baseball, the interest in the game this year has been exceptional. During the third week of April the Annual High School Tennis Tournament was held and over sixteen boys responded to the call. At this time the meet is not yet over but so far many exciting matches have been exhibited. In state meets of different kinds Sapul-pa has usually been represented, and the outcome has always been of mention. In nineteen fifteen the team was represented by Howard Fox and Dick Benson. The outcome was third place in the state meet at Norman. Out of a number of eighty teams third place is worthy of mention. Nineteen sixteen brought home colors by Howard Fox and Watson Wise, who won three medals in the State Interscholastic Meet at Wilburton. and third place again at Norman, out of one hundred teams. Howard Fox is now playing on the team of the Missouri School of Mines. The team of nineteen seventeen is Watson Wise and Jack Marshall. The state meet this year, which has not taken place up to this time, no doubt will meet competition of note from these boys in both singles and doubles. TENNIS TEAM [88] DOMESTIC SCIENCE HIS year has been a year of growth in the home economics department, a third year of work having been added. Besides the increase in enrollment in the first two year’s work. It has been necessary to add to the personnell of the department faculty. Miss Ethel Kelley has been teaching two High School classes in addition to her work in the grades. Frequently the girls have the opportunity of making practical demonstrations of their ability in serving, a matter of vital interest to the faculty. Visiting ball teams and some other equally fortunate organizations have been served. Several such memorial occasions deserve a place in the year’s calendar. [89] A SEWING CLASS COOKING CLASS [90] COMMERCIAL TYPEWRITING DEPARTMENT PHYSICS LABORATORY [91] MANUAL TRAINING CLASS THE ASSEMBLY [92] SAPULPA IN 1898 SAPULPA, OKLAHOMA APULPA, Oklahoma, is located in one of the greatest oil producing communities in the U.

Sapulpa has four large glass plants in operation, two brick plants, cotton gin and compress, and two oil refineries. Four banks are located here, three of which have over one million dollars on deposit. Recent buildings that have been erected are: The Creek County court house, the Waful,Walters, Casteel and Cowman buildings, Mitchell’s Undertaking Establishment and the St. Dennis Theatre.

Director ND thus we come to the close of the most successful musical year our High School has ever had in its history. Each department, under the leadership of our enthusiastic Miss Walter, has done splendid work. We are sorry Miss Walter has so little time to devote to the High School music, but, we realize that the grades keep her more than busy, and, therefore, we appreciate the more her untiring efforts in our behalf. We are, indeed, very sorry to learn that Miss Walter is not to be with us again the coming year, for she has become such a favorite with our students that her loss will be keenly felt. May good luck follow her is the sincere wish of the students. [ 102 ] Pete’s Candy Kitchen Peter Phillips, Proprietor 110 East Deuey WJii cater to select par-▼ ▼ ties, High School Students, Teachers.

This dew-fall is just like any other kind of dew. The polar winds are winds that blow around the poles. A mirage right side up is a lune upside down. One afternoon it rained all day. Toasts: “Coals of fire”: Heap coals of fire upon his head. Miss Alger: “Dan, you may discuss Milton’s works.” Dan Brown: “Milton wrote “Paradise Regained” before he married, and I think he wrote “Paradise Lost” after he was married.” Mr. Powers (in Commercial Geog.): “Now, since I have explained the term, “rhinocerous,” someone name another horned animal which is dangerous.” Gladys Sartori: “Toads.” Teacher (to small boy): “How are the teeth cared for?” Johnny: “Mine’s washed, and Ma uses a rag with ashes on it.” Views and Reviews: “Words of truth and soberness.” The Woes of Work: “Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening.” The Miss and the Misses: “Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” A woodpecker lit on a Freshman’s head, And settled down to drill; He bored away for half a day, And then he broke his bill.—Exchange. Evelyn H. (in Latin): “I changed that, and when I rubbed that out I rubbed the leader out too.” Mr. Powers (in Algebra): “We can’t let men stand for dollars, can we? Because some men are so worthless. He: “I haven’t taken a walk with a single girl this week.” She: “No; I suppose they were all married.” Teacher: “Where is moisture found?” II.

Walter Wilson laid back in his seat. Miss Reiman: “Walter, I don’t allow any gen- tleman to sit in such a position in school or without, as you are.” A Sophomore is a can of great expectations. Ruth M. (seriously): “Why do they call the Board a Board?” Vivian D. (puzzled): “Board?” Ruth: “Board of directors, of course.” Vivian: “Oh!

Ruth Johnson (translating Virgil): “They stood silently and looked on attentively with their ears.” Keep smiling for—no matter how things go To remedy sickness and blues, You’ll find one rollicking “Ha!

Didn’t you know I was put up there as a model for the Freshmen?” Mr. Imel (grading papers of first exam, in second semester): “Mr. Power, will you kindly en- gage Hazel in conversation.” Miss Green takes refuge in Miss Wenrich’s room. Then in half an hour she comes through the study hall and begins talking. Mr. imel: “Mr. Powers.” Miss Green tip toes down to the office with someone and comes back and begins talking to Mr. Powers. Mr. Imel: “Much oblige to you, Mr. Powers.” Miss Greene (as she is leaving the study hall, to Mr. Powers): “Don’t for get to call—778.” Miss Schultze: “Powell, you did not have permission to speak.” Powell grins. Leo: “I told him to jigger, but he didn’t do it.” Miss Schultze: “Oh! I guess he thought his hand was big enough to hide his mouth.” Walter: “Miss Alger, what are you snapping your fingers at?” ’ Miss Alger: “Nothing! I’m just thinking.” Miss Green (in history): “Ralph, in which of his battles was Gustavus Adolpheus killed?” ’ Ralph: “I think it was in his last battle.” Powell Boyd was explaining a certain passage in Sketch Book. Miss Wenrich: “What do you call that other place. I mean not heaven. Oh! You know what I mean.” A tiny bit of knowledge, A bigger bit of bluff, Gets you by a teacher, If you’re slick enough. “Excuse me for walking on your feet.” “Oh, don’t mind; I do that all the time.” Grace Purcell (in Geometry): “I can’t find where I’m at.” Answer: “That’s sad, Grace. I imagine you’re hanging on your at.” Freshmen—grassy. Sophomores—sassy. J uniors—brassy. Seniors—classy. If my name was McCarthy, I’d fight for the King.

Trotter will ever grow (a shave). Mr. Powers (to Bernard Hughes, after calling him down for talking to Laura Smalley, and being told that she was interested as much as he was): “I shall have to keep the little folks from talking.” Imagine! Calling a Senior “little folks.” Mr. White was bringing a wooden hammer in from the Laboratory. Gladys Fox (to Lucille McCabe): “Does he use that in your class?” (Commercial Law Class). Ambition (Freshman theme): I’d rather be a could-be, if I could not be an am, for a could-be is a may-be, with a chance of touching par. I’d rather be a has-been, than a might-have-been; by far—for a might-have-been has never been, but a has-been was once an are. Miss Wenrich: “Daniel, what are you talking about?” Daniel B.: “Oh. about five minutes.” The girls were talking together whether they wanted a book diploma or a flat one. Beulah Mallory: “I just hate to see a whole lot of diplomas framed, hanging on the walls, but I am going to have my wedding one framed. Miss Reiman: “Scott, cease reading this in- stant.” After casting a scornful, withering look at Walter Wilson, who slowly winds his watch, she turns to find Scott Carter still reading peacefully on as if nothing had happened. Miss Reiman: “Scott, did you hear me?” You are being interrupted.” Scott: “Ami?” Deathlike silence reigns in the room, and after Walter, with great unconcern, has wound his watch and set it, and carefully placed it away, Miss Reiman tells Scott that he may resume his reading. Brice (translating German): “He stood mo- tionless and looked over the top of the trees to his feet on the other shore.” “You must not eat any more tonight, Adelbert,” said his mother, “don’t you know you can’t sleep on a full stomach?” “That’s all right, Mamma,” replied the youngster, “I can sleep on my back.” If Gladys Fox(trots) would Adelbert Trot(ter)?

One day Mr. Imel and Mr. Powers missed the street car, and were walking to Kiefer. Mr. Powers asked the distance and found out it was six miles. “Well, Mr. Imel,” he said, “that’s just three miles apiece for us.” Walter Burgess and Glen Cole were offered a cot by Mr. Imel, so that they might sleep more comfortably in school. “Children,” said Miss Alger, instructing one of her Freshman English classes, “you should not attempt any flights of fancy. Simply be yourselves, and write what is in you. Do not imitate any other person’s writings, nor draw inspiration from outside sources.” As a result of this advice one bright lad turned in the following: “We should not attempt any flights of fancy, but write what is in us. In me there is my stommick, lungs, heart, liver, two apples, one piece of pie, one stick of lemon candy, and my dinner.” Problem given by Prof. Imel: “If a man has money in each of his pockets, how much has he? Write out proof.” Freshmen may come, And Freshmen may go, But Freshmen are green Wherever they go. “Well,” said the doctor, cheerfully, “how do you feel this morning? Any more aches or pains?” “Yes,” answered the patient, “it hurts me to breathe; but the only trouble now seems to be with my breath.” “Oh,” said the physician, still more cheerful, “I’ll give you something that will soon stop that.” Miss Slocum (in short hand class): “Walter, what in the dickens are you doing?” Walter Burgess: “Aw, nothing—only figering.” Mr. Imel: “Walter, what are you standing there for?” Walter Wilson: “Nothing.” Mr. Imel: “Well, just move on.

Miss Keiger (crossly, in German): “The Freshman knows not, and knows not that he knows not.” The Juniors and Sophs think they are it, The Freshmen think themselves quite a fit, But if you want to see a class that is there, Just turn your eyes on the Seniors, and stare. You cannot eat a doughnut, And eat a doughnut whole, Unless you eat a doughnut, And leave the doughnut hole. If Ruth was a model, would Phoebe Moulder? A teacher had been illustrating l efore her scholars, by holding out her arms, how the limbs of a tree grew. The next day she said, “Now, children, let’s review’ yesterday’s nature study.

Brice (in German): “He was young—well, he was a young man.” Mr. White (in Physics): “Give some example of non-conductors of heat.” Brice: “Radiators, when Shorty doesn’t’ get here on time.” Robert Lawrence (in History, the day before Exams.): “Miss Green, how many companions (in misery) are there of mine in this class?” Mr. Dorman, after explaining all of the advantages of a stenotype machine, says that everybody should have one. Aleen Schall (not quite determined whether he had explained everything): “Do you get a whole credit if you take it?” Brice (in German): “What’s our lesson for Friday?”’ Miss Keiger: “Written lesson.” Brice: “What is it for Monday then?” Miss Keiger: “You’d better get a calendar, Brice.” DO YOU KNOW THEM?

A friend told me he went into heaven and it looked like a golden throne inside, and as he looked around he saw the Germans on one side, the Austrians on another, the Swedes on another, the English on another, he could see every nationality but the Irish. “Where were the Irish?” I asked him. He said: “Oh, the Irish—well, they were the only ones that the Lord could trust outside—they were looking in.” Miss Reiman (to English Class): “Now mark off your feet with little lines.” Charley Bartlett (in Senior English): “These two fellows----” Miss Reiman: “It’s all right to use ‘fellows’, Charley, but l e careful that you don’t’ change the “w” to an “r” and say, “fellers.” ” Charley: “Well, as I was saying, these two fellows were studying law.” “A MELLOW POEM” Miss Reiman had an instrument, She called it a “Ukalale.” It was a suffering torment To hear her play (?) it daily.
