And make me a student just for tonight. In the fall of 1923 the junior high classes were first admitted to Sapulpa High School in the new building. The eighth grade was one of the largest eighth grade classes in the history of the high school, and that class now forms the senior class of 1928. At the opening of the spring term the 8A group became Freshmen. Mrs. Maude H. Peterson and Miss Anna Moore were the freshman home room teachers. In the sophomore year, Mrs. E. L. Adams, Mrs. Miller (then Miss Moore), and Miss Ida Erickson were the home room teachers. During the early part of the year Mrs. Adams resigned and Mrs. M. L. Murphy came to take her place. Margaret Klingensmith was president of the class; Kermit Carter, vice-president; Raymond Wilson, secretary, and Ralph Stover, treasurer. The sponsors were Miss Carol Curtis and Mrs. E. L. Adams. Two projects were attempted by these ambitious sophomores. They were a play and a dinner. Neither of these materialized, and are still among the dreams of the past. As the juniors these students made a most enviable record. They had the same home room teachers with the addition of Miss Helen Garman. Mrs. M. L. Murphy and Miss Garman were elected sponsors. Marion Pickett was chosen president and other officers were: vice-president, Mildred Longmire; secretary, Elizabeth Howard; treasurer, Elizabeth Willis. All through the year the juniors worked hard and they became leaders in all activities, their members having prominent places in all organizations, clubs, athletic events, the newspaper, debate teams—everything worthwhile in the school. They maintained through it all a very high standard of scholarship. In the spring of 1927, the class presented its play, “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!” It was a huge success due to the untiring efforts of the coach, Mrs. Lucille Miller. The cast was selected from some of the best material of the class. It was as follows: Jack Crandall, cowboy author, Earl Patrick; Mr. Hooker, a business man, Gerald Brizendine; Stephen Hooker, college freshman, James Stewart; Ted Stone, football hero. Ralph Stroud; Alosius Bartholemew, college professor, Donald Fulp; Floy Hooker, vivacious debutante, Mildred Longmire; Letitia Brown, languishing dillettante, Alys Cornell; Mrs. Hooker, modern mother, Evelyn Jo Everly; Rita, pert house maid, Onita Fish. Page Twenty-two Another big event was the junior-senior banquet given at the Masonic Temple, May 23. A wonderful banquet was served by the Eastern Star ladies. The program was one to be long remembered because of the inspiration and fun it afforded. The program, carrying out the idea of the wishing-well, was as follows: Toastmaster: Walter Lampton. Greetings: Marion Pickett, president of junior class. Reliquier: Ovid Stivers, president of senior class. Music: James Cowman and Melbourne James. The Journey to the Well: Mrs. M. L. Murphy. The Arrival: Miss Zelma Tartar. Violin Solo: Evelyn Mitchell. The Keepers of the Well: Mrs. 0. M. Irelan. The Wish: E. H. McCune. The Wish Come True: J. R. Holmes. As a result of its steadfastness and hard work during the year, the class was allowed to have a picnic on the last day of school. Another happy and successful year began with the opening of school in September, 1927. This time we were seniors and our rings carried the date 1928! The first class meeting was September 14, when officers were nominated. The following Friday the following officers were elected by ballot: president, Walter Lampton; vice-president, Monta Wortman; secretary, Elizabeth Howard; treasurer. Earl Patrick. Mrs. M. L. Murphy was selected as sponsor and Miss Helen Garman as assistant sponsor. These two with Mrs. Lucille Miller, of the expression department, were the senior home room teachers. An executive committee composed of the sponsor, the four officers and two representatives from each home room were formed. The representatives were: Onita Fish and Charles Selby from Mrs. Murphy’s home room; Thelma Briggs and J. L. Forbes from Mrs. Miller’s; and Mildred Longmire and Lester Wilkonson from Miss Garman’s. On October 3, the resignation of Walter Lampton was read and accepted by this committee. October 10, Melbourne James was elected president to fill the place vacated by Monta Wortman, who had automatically become president, and who had been elected to the presidency of the Student Body Organization. Pauline Page was elected vice-px-esident. The biggest project of the class and the one of which they were most proud was the publication of a senior year book. Early in the year work was started on both the business and editoi-ial staffs of the book. The staff members were as follows: Pago Twenty-threo Business manager, Lester Wilkonson; picture editor, Marie Irelan; history, Elizabeth Howard; prophecy, Rena Hoskins and Alys Cornell; poem, James Cowman; will, Elizabeth Popkin; athletic events, Pauline Page; faculty, Evelyn Mitchell; clubs, J. L. Forbes and Bertha DeLong; calendar, Ruth Kimbrell; student activities, Thelma Briggs; dedication, Monta Wortman; kodak page, Mildred Longmire; jokes, Joe Finkelstein. As in the year before the members of the class were among the leaders of every activity. This year they were not called upon to give a junior-senior banquet, but they did give a senior-football banquet which was counted a success. More than 150 seniors and their guests were present. The dinner was served by the senior mothers. The following program with musical numbers between was given: Toastmaster: Sam Minsky. First Whistle: Melbourne James Kick-off: Captain Kermit Carter A Long Pass; Mr. McCune Intercepted: Mr. Holmes Rise and Shine: Coach Howard Flack Lost on Downs: Mrs. Murphy Hold That Line: Mrs. Irelan The Comeback: Captain-elect Ralph Stroud Final Score: Queen Louise Ralls. The Monday home room period was set by the class as the time set by the class for regular class meetings. Programs were given when there was no business to be discussed. Vernon Hands was the program chairman. At Christmas time the members of the class drew names and had a Christmas tree with Santa Claus as ruler of the hour. Thus closed the history of the senior class of 1928 up to the day when this book, our greatest achievement, went to press. L aye Twenty-four Class Propliecy By Rena Hoskins and Alys Cornell In May, 1955. we left St. Louis on a round the world flight to look up our former class-mates, Seniors of 1928. Our beloved teacher, Mrs. Murphy, was growing old and expressed a wish to know what had become of her former pupils. Curious ourselves, this flight had been quickly planned. We were flying in a Graham Special, the latest model out by the Eugene Graham Co. The road was fairly clear this early in the morning. Hut suddenly a bright red plane came down upon us at a terrific speed. We tried to avoid it but the plane hit our tall and spun us around but did not injure us. A police plane was alongside immediately. What’s the matter there? he yelled to the driver of the red plane. His voice sounded familiar. No wonder! Ife belonged to the Honorable Joe Finkelstein. All my fault, officer. I was rushing Dr. Robert Hayes to the bedside of an old friend, said a shrill voice that could belong to no one but Pauline Brown. Who’s hurt. Pauline?’ we yelled. Why. hello, you old dears. It's nothing serious. Lynn Cunningham, the champion pie-eater, got hold of a rotten cherry pie. But we must rush on. See you later. Nothing else happened until we reached Chicago, our first stop. We stopped a friendly appearing woman to ask for directions and discovered her to be Elizabeth Popkin. She told us she was society editor for a renowned Chicago paper. She was on her way to the wedding of the wealthy Ruth Casteel to the Supreme Judge. Gerald Brizendlne. Reverend Donald Fulp was to marry them and Chicago’s new proscuting attorney. James Cowman, was to be the best man and Elizabeth Willis, noted designer, was to be maid of honor. We accepted her invitation to attend the wedding. On the way home after the wedding we asked if she knew about any more of our old classmates. She opened her purse and handed us several newspaper olippings which read: Mildred Longmire. famous society woman, is presented at court. Edgar Ward, renowned poet, will have a reception at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Another read: Wilburn Dishon will appear in the musical comedy, ’Stove Lids.' The last one read: Evelyn Shoptaw, world’s greatest pianist, will broadcast rrom KHO tonight.” These, she said, were all that were in Chicago. The next morning we renewed our search. We decided to go to Washington, D. C. to visit the President. Monta Wortman. and to secure her help. Through her we found Senator Robert Briggs and Senator Mildred Hughes from Oklahoma. President Wortman's private secretary. Hallie Jones, told us that Thelma Briggs was governor of Alabama and Lewis Bell, governor of Oregon. She told us that Pauline Page was ambassador to Spain; Sidney Bates, ambassador to China; Victor Faulkenburg of Mexico; and Cecil White minister to Tibesti. And Hooray for the eats! Bernice Cash is the White House cook. This seemed to lye all that were holding government positions so next morning we left for New York but were forced to stop at the small town of Woodridge for repairs. The station man. muoh to our surprise, was Claude Davenport. He told us he had a wife and three children. He told us also that Mrs. Reverend Meed was our friend. Blanche Barnett, and that she was doing charity work in the community. His old friend. .Charles Selby. was a dare-devil parachute jumper. The wealthy I’aul Allen married a beautiful brunette and was spending his honeymoon abroad. In New York our first move was the city directory. Do our eyes deceive us? Wyatt Arthurs. Wall Street magnate. Shelton Beaver, famous artist and sculptor. Maine Cowart, cat specialist. Marie Irelan now superintendent of schools. Nellie Ruth Smith, a rising profes-sionel dancing teacher. Floyd Wright, chief of police. A week in New York and then—Paris! The Chevra attracted us the first night. The event of the evening was the wonderful singer. Mademoiselle Estahela Hartoni. The leader of the orchestra was none other than B. F. Wooden. As we were leaving we met the Duchess of Avoun. nee Pauline Gage. We learned from her that Vernon Hands had bought the title of Baron of DeVenue and that Marie Carson had married a Russian prince. Page Twenty-five On our return to the hotel we found Walter Jones, detective, waiting for us. And who would know more than a detective? He informed us that Mary Markley was head nurse in the St. Joseph hospital; that Sam Minsky was a doctor in the same hospital; that Oneida Vanderburg was married to a French professor; that Bessie Richardson was doing relief work in the slums of Paris: that Stella Nobles was police matron of London; that Elisabeth Howard was a cheese manufacturer In Switzerland: that Catherine Jennings was specializing in arts and novelties; that Marie Payne was coaching football at Oxford University. Two weeks later we were in Africa. We joined the great game hunter, lister Wilkon-son. in a' lion hunt in the deepest jungles of Africa. But our hunt was of no avail for deep in the jungles we found the lions being tamed by Warrlner Farnsworth for a moving picture company. He said he needed the lions for a picture In which Doris Hamilton was starring; Alvin Guthrie was playing opposite her. He said he would do better to hunt diamonds for Floyd Eldrige had a lat ge diamond mine quite near. In Egypt we found Professor Kermit Carter who was leading an expedition to find species of ancient mummies and remains of pre-historic animals. The great scientist. Dick Biddle, was accompanying him. Another surprise! Irving Crothers was writing a book on Ancient Egyptian Royalty. Faye Snider was studying Egyptian art. Bertha DeDong. a wealthy widow, was there on a sight-seeing tour. Cornelia Pickett was very busy painting the Egyptian deserts. From there we flew to India. Marieva Thomas, missionary to the poor heathens, made us welcome. Eorene Bacon was studying Indian music so that she might introduce it in America. Albert Thomsen was buying tapestries and rugs for a New York firm. In China Arbra Patton was trying to sell washing machines to the Chinks. Helen Clute was teaching dramatics in the schools. Geneva Jones was founding the Jones Institute for Girls. The most prominent photographer was Vernon Eldridge. Earl Patrick was taking jujutsu lessons. Austria produced only- one of our classmates; J. L. Forbis, who had a large sheep ranch. In Japan we hunted up Mlchi Maruyama, who was teaching the Japanese. From her we learned that Mrs. A. J. Mandox. wife of the wealthy iron magnate, one time Mary Evelyn Morgan, was visiting in Japan. With her was Francis King, noted author. Frederick Moore was now a famous shipbuilder. Thrills! Hawaii! and the old time thriller, Melbourne James, was governor of the Island. His old side kick. Paul Morris and his little wife were owners of a sugar plantation. Hortense Weakly was married to a Hawaiian singer. Onita Fish was director of the largest Hawaiian orchestra in the world. Wonders! Mildred Ives was writing a book on “Why the Hawaiians are so Enchanting.” Here we are in Alaska. Gee. it's cold, but we find Bennie Hagan capturing seals to train for a large circus. That high powered airplane is Charles Milroy’s who is trying to fly to the North Pole. Mable House was working to improve the conditions of the sanitation for miners. The best trading post in all the Northwest was owned by Minnie Bee Trayler, rich fur trader. Thelma Vandever is the wife of L. T. Whinor, salmon king. Down the coast, in Canada, we find Vernie Hayter the owner of vast wheat fields. Farther down, in the state of Washington, we found Ralph Johnson the owner of a chain of skating rinks.

THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1928 OF SAPULPA HIGH SCHOOL Pag Thirty enior Class In writing on the scrolls of time That give us history, We think of it as if we were One of the family tree. We’re going on away from school, Our Alma Mater dear, To wend our way from day to day And make our trail more clear. But now we’re in the prime of life We’re happy and we’re glad, That we’re the members of our class, The best one our school’s had. We have line leaders in our class And we are proud to say, If they keep on like they’ve begun They’ll lead tomorrow’s day. We’ve worked together through the years As educated bands, And wish to pass on our good traits Into the Juniors’ hands. There are many who are left out In such a small display Of words that try to tell about The class we have today. —James Cowman. Pago Thirty-on Jumiors This year’s junior class entered high school in the fall of 1925 as freshmen. Wake Dean Frank was elected president; Vernon Hands, vice-president, and Josephine Roberts, secretary-treasurer. The sponsors were Mr. J. H. Halderson, Mrs. Catherine Conway, and Miss Nettie Louise West. When sophomores, the class elected Ralph Stroud president, Louise Ralls, vice-president, Josephine Roberts, secretary-treasurer, and Mrs. Catherine Conway, Miss Anna Rearick, and Mr. E. L. Southard, sponsors. This term one hundred and one students enrolled as juniors. Leon Wagner was chosen to lead the group as president. Chauncey Conway was elected vice-president, Josephine Roberts, secretary, and Ralph Stroud, treasurer. Mrs. H. C. Bombarger, Miss Anna Rearick, and Mrs. Catherine Conway were chosen sponsors. The class ha l a winning basketball team. Two plays were presented, “The Hoodoo” and “That’s One on Bill.” The main social event was the annual junior-senior banquet given for the seniors. A junior party was given January 27 in the high school gymnasium. —Volita Patrick. Pag Thirty-two SopLomores The Sophomore class entered Sapulpa High as Freshmen in Sept. 192G, when Mr. McCune s administration as principal began. They exhibited unusual initiative when they formed a pep club and appeared in caps and streamers at the foot-ball games of 1926. They gave a hundred per cent subscription to the Moccasin Print. They gave a Christmas party in the cafeteria chaperoned by their sponsors and several class mothers. Their Freshmen officers were—Thell Robertson. President; Josephine Dunn. Sec. and Treas. From the 192 members of this class. 160 have returned as Sophomores. Many of these are making excellent scholastic records, emulating the tine example of the class of ] 28 Competition for election to the National High School Honor Society will be keen and close in this class. They have good athletic material, many with dramatic ability, and others who will try for the debate squad next year. They were bidders for concessions at th foot-ball games in ’27. winning four of them. Under the business leadership of Gerald Undike. Jack Doudtcan, and Swift Naifeh, they made a neat sum for their year book when they shall be Seniors. Their sponsors for this year are: Mrs. Jones. Miss Minich. Miss Wilkonson and Mr. Isley. When they have passed the chrysalis stage of Sophomores and find themselves, you will hear from this class. Page Thirty-three ISfiiie A Class One of the most interesting classes in school is the Nine A group. Although one of the smallest organizations, it is very popular. Since its arrival in high school in 1927, it has taken part in all educational activities. This class won a picture for selling the most tickets to an art exhibit. They started the honor sides in junior high assemblies. In 1927, they won a twenty dollar prize from the Moccasin Print, the school paper, because every one in the class subscribed to the paper. To show their school spirit they purchased a clock for the front hall. This group has also many honor students which have won prizes in school activities. It is known as one of the peppiest groups in school. The Nine A is sponsored by Miss Elsa Klein and Mr. E. L. Southard. Page Thirty-four IFresli man B Class Our present Freshman B class entered Sapulpa High in the fall of 1927 with a membership of 150. They were organized into three separate home rooms under the leadership of Miss Foy Ross, Miss Artemesia Coil, and Mr. Maurice Gormley. So far, in the history of the class no officers have been elected. The work carried on by this class has been done by three separate divisions. This class plans great things for the coming three years according to reports; they hope to give a banquet during their sophomore year, thus re-establishing the old customs of previous years.

Ralph’s consistent playing, however, was remembered well enough to win captaincy for 29. We wish you good luck. Stroud. EARL PATRICK— H. Back 28 One of the nerviest little men in the line-up.

Back '28 A second year man that makes a good substitute for any place in the back-field. because of his ability to carry the pigskin so efficiently. We hate to lose him from our lineup for next year. Our Coach As that old saying of some renowned poet has said, “Behind the brawn is the brain.” So, behind our team is Coach Howard Flack. From crude, unfinished material, Coach Flack has put a finish of courage, clean play, and clean living into the morals of our football team. By untiring effort and ever ready help, he has brought out the best in the manhood of the school who h ve come for sports, such as football, basketball, baseball, etc., a tribute deserving of any good coach. e Captain It is nothing but customary that every crew must have a so-called “Skipper”, and so it was with the Sapulpa Football Team, who chose as their “Skipper”, Kermit Carter. Captain Carter led his team in every scrimmage, always putting out the best he had, and making his men do likewise. Kermit was not only a clean player, but his leading was taken as law by the other players, quite a tribute to anybody. Not only was Kermit a leader on the football field, but he was also Captain of the 1927-’28 basketball team. This school should feel that it owes a lot to Kermie, for he is well deserving of praise, in the leading parts he has held in the activities of the school. Page Thirty-eight Onir Mate In Games—i lere and fliere The “pep” of the school was waiting for the first game of football to come as if it were some gala event. Everyone was up and on their toes, waiting for the signal to let their pep go. Pep squads were organized and waiting. At the first game, a large majority of the high school was out there, yelling, yelling for the team. SEPTEMBER 16— The football season for the Sapulpa Outlaws was opened by a game with the Jenks squad. After much hard playing, the score came out a tie, 7-7. SEPTEMBER 23— , . The Kiefer eleven were the next invaders on home soil; they were sent away with a score of 26-0, Sapulpa’s favor. OCTOBER 1— With heartbreaking misfortune to the players and hard luck in general, we lost our first game to the hardy Tulsa grid. OCTOBER 7— By hard playing and good backing our next game at home, with the Bixby men, came out as well as we could wish for, 26-0. OCTOBER 14— Our first out of town game was with Drumright. The Outlaws went determined to bring back honors, and they did; also a socre of 13-6, in our favor. OCTOBER 21— The Tulsa University freshmen proved to be more than a match for our team. They took back a score of 18-0 in their favor. OCTOBER 28— A jinx seems to have come over the team, for fight as we will, the score with the McAlester team piled up to 20-6. NOVEMBER 5— At Bartlesville the team met with a wall of iron men. who outweighed our men by many pounds. The score came back 31-0. NOVEMBER 11— Our next game we played with our nearby neighbors, Bristow. The game was a fight to the finish, and at the end the score was in Bristow’s favor.

NOVEMBER 24— The last game of the season, the Sapulpa Outlaws came to defeat at the hands o the Okmulgee eleven; score 45-0. Page Thirty-nine MONTA WORTMAN Student Body President Everyone is certain to remember Monta as one of the best leaders in school, despite the fact that she is a girl. She was awarded the highest position a high school student could attain—Student Body President. This position is handled by her in the most efficient manner. She may be called the real leader of the school. Page Forty ORGANIZATIONS Tear IBook Staff After several years absence of a yearly publication, the senior class of 1927 and 1928, decided to publish a Year Book.

The White Peppers are planning to continue their activities through the basketball and baseball seasons. Miss Amanda Morton is their faculty advisor and sponsor. Hoy Scouafs The Boy Scout organization in Sapulpa has been functioning for the past seven years. It was first organized with Mr. Fred Woodson, who resigned in 1926.

There are at present 160 scouts in Sapulpa, and 16 scout officers, council men, etc. These other officers are divided among the nine troops. A camp has been conducted every summer. A band has been organized this winter and has made several appearances. The program this summer will include two camps and a probable trip, of the more advanced scouts, to New Mexico to excavate the old Indian puebloes.

The Girl Reserves have pledged to further the best interests of the girls at all times, thereby carrying out the four fold purpose of the National Y. W. C. A., and creating a most helpful and interesting influence in Sapulpa High School. The Girl Reserves meet every other Thursday for a social and supper meeting. Their sponsors are: Miss Foy Ross, Mrs. M. M. Jones, Miss Belle Wilkonson, Miss Garman, and Miss Rearick. Marie Irelan is their president, Mildred Longmire, vice president, Marieva Thomas is their excellent secretary, with Alys Cornell as their treasurer. Girl .R eserves Page Forty-eight GIRL RESERVES Page Forty-nine Girls Glee Glut One day a visitor was heard to ask as she entered the Sapulpa Hi, Why, who is doing that singing?” Tne answer was, “Oh! that’s Dorothy Doda, the president of the Girls’ Glee Club.” Yes, we have a Glee Club, Mr. D. Donald Plum is their instructor. Don’t you hear tnat girl fussing about her dues? Well, Nita Hair is the secretary and she forgot to give Pauline Gage, the treasurer, the money. I imagine they are planning an operetta (with the aid of the Boys’ Glee Club) for they now have an enrollment of over 30 pupils. Yes. We give an operetta every year, but I don’t believe they have selected theirs for this year yet, although Mr. Plum said they were planning for a snappy one this year. Boys Glee Club The Boys’ Glee Club is composed of about twenty boys. It is for the purpose of giving those boys who are interested in music the opportunity of developing their talent. The members are selected by the head of the music department by try outs. The glee club gives recitals throughout the year and usually enters the county and state meets. Band The Sapulpa High School band is composed of those students who play an instrument sufficiently well enough to become a member. The junior band is composed of beginners. Mr. Plum is now instructor for both bands. The band has been very successful in county meets, winning first or second practically every time. Orchestra A monumental task was presented to Mr. Plum, the music instructor, at the beginning of this year, that was creating an orchestra. The greater part of the members of the last year’s orchestra were seniors who graduated, thus leaving “Cap. Lamb’s” Junior Orchestra to carry on which was greatly handicapped by the loss of several of its members. However, Mr. Plum cheerfully took the orchestra in hand and Sapulpa Hi can proudly claim that she possesses a fine orchestra which is willing to play for any concert or entertainment.

Mrs. Carter: You are at the foot of the spelling class again, aren’t you ? Please explain, young man. Kermit: Got too many “Z’s” in scissors. Sam Minsky: And Senator Atchison said, “I’d rather see Nebraska sunk in hell than become a slave state.” Claude Davenport: Ah-h-h-h! I thought that only preachers could say that. In Mrs. Conway's Home Ec. class Frankie Peters always makes it her business to ask all the questions she can. Frankie: Okla, is Homer Thorn ;urg that new boy up here this year? Okla: Frankie, he isn’t very new, he’s 18 years old. Dorothy Dodd: Miss Rearick I haven’t got fleas, it’s just itching powder. Miss Ross: What was the Triple Alliance? Melbourne James: Just three of us know and I can’t tell. Mrs. Murphy: Haskell, do you know any more jokes about the new Ford? Haskell Eldridge: Yes, but I’m using my best judgment and I’d better not tell them. (Charlsie Frear reciting poetry):. There’s a saying both witty and sage, We accept it without a demur, A woman stops telling her age When her age begins telling on her. The church was unusually crowded that Sunday. After the sermon Rev. James made his way to the door to shake hands with his congregation. Out they filed, one hand was grasped, then another. A raw Swedish woman came out last, and being a new-comer, Rev. James said: “Why, howdy do. You are new here, aren’t you? If you will give me your name and address I’ll call on you soon.” A cold light leaped into her eyes, she withdrew her hand. “I t’ank you, but I don’ already got a suitor an’ I no t’ink he like you to come.” Page Fifty-seven cs Sam Minsky informs us that George Washington was inaugurated the 32 of April. Dumb Student: “Miss Wilkonson, are you going to study the use of laughing gas in making dumb chemistry students intelligent?” Miss Wilkonson: “I doubt if it could help their intelligence but it might help out by making them more unconscious.” Paul Allen: My father and I know everything in the world. Claud James D: All right, wheri is Cape Town? Paul Allen: That is one of the things my father knows. Waiter: How will you have your eggs cooked? Earl Patrick: Make any difference in the price? Waiter: No. Earl Patrick: Then cook them with a slice of ham. Say, I heard that John died. How did he die? Well, he died in the spring. Died in the spring? Yes. Well, how did he die? Well, I don’t know exactly. Some say he died in the spring and some say he died in the fall. What? You don’t know whether he died in the spring or the fall? No, you see first came the fall then the spring at the end of the fall, so they don’t know whether it was the spring or the fall that killed him. You say the spring came at the end of the fall? Yes, you see he fell in the spring. Little boy after listening over radio: Daddy! I wouid like to go up to that Broadcasting Station and see that cross eyed bear.” Father: Why, what do you mean son, cross eyed bear? Son: Why, dad, I just heard them singing “Gladly the cross I’d bear.” Tago Fifty-eight 021 or SCENES IN SAPULPA The following firms and individuals have helped to make this book possible.
