Class I Iistory Turn back again, oh Time in thy flight. 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.

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
