My country, ’tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing, Land where my fathers died! Land of the Pilgrim’s pride ! From ev’ry mountain side, Let freedom ring! My native country, thee, Land of the noble, free, Thy name I love. I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills: My heart with rapture thrills Like that above. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom’s song. Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break,— The sound prolong. Our father’s God, to Thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing. Long may our land be bright, With freedom’s holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King!

Perhaps you know this school better as Tulsa University. He cared little about further school education and became an electrician, being one of the two men who wired Sapulpa High for electricity in 1918. Being a ball player, he was interested in athletics, and was persuaded by a coach to attend college for the purpose of studying coaching. He graduated from Northeastern State Teachers College at Tahle-qua-h with his A. B. degree, and from Stillwater A. and M. with an M. A. degree, having majored in English, history, and education. He also did work as substitute teacher. After graduation he held positions at Wagoner and Nowata, teaching English, history, mathematics, and science; coaching in athletics, and being principal of the high school. Then he came to Sapulpa as Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Prince’s teaching career has filled eighteen years, eleven of which were spent in coaching. He would still like to coach athletics. James L. Prince The quality which distinguishes man from animal is the capacity for learning. The span of difference is measured by intellectual accomplishment. One man neglects to cultivate his mental powers and degenerates to bestiality. Lacking the guidance of an enlightened mind, he spends his life in darkness and sinks, at last, into oblivion without ever having tasted the true joy of living; without ever having really lived. Another man seeks to realize his full capacity for mental growth and attains the heights of human achievement. He walks through paths of glorious endeavor. He leads because he has vision to see the way. His productive ability blesses mankind and sustains the weak. He has capacity to appreciate, to feel, and to respond to life, so that his joy in living is complete and his life continues in the memory of his fellows long after his departure. —James L. Prince. Maxine DeLoe Secretary Page Fourteen PRINCIPAL Mr. Ransbarger is a pioneer Oklahoman, having been born in Canadian County, Oklahoma, in 1901. When he graduated from high school he was offered a job as teacher in a rural, two-room school in Grady County. He thought he would like to be a teacher so he accepted the position for a year. He was offered the job again the next year but, wishing to get a higher education, he refused and went to Phillips University at Enid for four years, graduating in 1923. He majored in arts, science, and education; receiving his B. A. degree. Then he held the position of principal of the high school and superintendent of schools at Lahoma, Oklahoma, for six years. Wishing further education, he took summer work at the University of California at Berkeley, and Colorado State College at Greeley, Colorado. The next two years he held a Carl a. Ransbarger position as graduate assistant instructor at Oklahoma University while he was studying for his M. A. degree. 1 here he majored in mathematics. Then, in 1932, he came from Oklahoma University to Sapulpa to be the first dean of Sapulpa Junior College. He served in that capacity three years, becoming principal of the high school in 1934. Friendship is one of life’s most valuable possessions and attainments. Few things offer such a stimulus as a wide circle of friends. Each one has his particular charm. Each does something toward building one’s intellectual, social, and spiritual stature. Perhaps most important of all, true friendship requires that one think not only of getting, but also of giving—giving of one’s time, good will, kindliness, encouragement. Each of us has seen in his own experience this principal working out to the mutual benefit of all. For many happy associations, for faithful services rendered, for kind words and deeds, for acquaintances and friendships, I express my sincere appreciation to the students of Sapulpa High School. —Carl A. Ransbarger. Page Fifteen ADVISOR TO BOYS High school is only one phase of one’s life, where useful information may be had, and desirable habits may be formed. Thus, it behooves each student having the opportunity to attend high school to sincerely set his face towards information which he can use and habits which he can practice as he lives on after high school is finished. —J. B. Moore. Page Sixteen COUNSELOR TO GIRLS Mrs. H. C. Bombarger M. A. Tulsa University Dean of Girls English Sapulpa High will not be quite the same without you seniors of 1941. Apparently these years of association have been mutually interesting, pleasant, and profitable. You deserve to be congratulated. Henceforth each will continue your education along your chosen line. May your lives be active, happy, and purposeful. I shall always be deeply interested in you and your activities. —Cora A. Bombarger. Page Seventeen FACULTY Mr. W. L. Dougherty B. S.

That’s one thing about this school, we have always had good lunches and what I mean good ones. Mrs. Ford has been working and helping to prepare lunches for thirteen years and should know quite a lot about the business since she has been in the service since 1909. She has lived in and around Sapulpa for many years as she came here in 1928. Mrs. Mathewson is also a great benefactor of our school. She has been here for three years, starting in 1938 and has lived in Sapulpa since 1934. We hope they will be here for a good many years longer. Mrs. Lee Ford BUILDING CUSTODIANS A A f 1 v Mr. H. A. Clark Mr. R. L. Buckley Probably many of the inhabitants of Sapulpa High School do not appreciate the hard work and successful efforts toward efficiency of the two building custodians, Mr. H. A. Clark and Mr. R. L. Buckley. Not only do they keep the building as clean and in order as could be expected, with a herd of cattle running through it all the time; but when programs of any kind are given at night in the school they are the last to leave the building because they must see that everything is shipshape before they lock up. Let us all be more appreciative of the service these two indispensibles perform for the school. Page Twenty-one AMERICA! AWAKEN! Half the world is at war. Hate’s hour is here. Greed is having its day, astir from its lair. The midnight of blood and terror is upon us. Will the morning come? What of the day! Is the test of Christian civilization to be made by the youth of this generation? “Nero fiddled while Rome burned.” Has America been fiddling while horror has been devastating nations, homes, and human hearts? Is the home today as great a force for American idealism as it was a generation ago? Are mothers today as intellectual, as spiritual, as firm in high moral ideals, as appreciative of the sweet home atmosphere of the American life as for generations back? Has the mad rush for gold, the strife of competition, the hurry and bustle of the present life swept men from their towering qualities of great citizenship ? Are we drifting? Are these marks of decay? Are parents and the homes of America prepared to train, mould, and inspire the youth and childhood of today for the tremendous leadership open to them in the great world day that is dawning? Do we sense the high honor that is ours in being the pilot nation of the world ? What if America fails? Would it not mean a world collapse? If America fails the world, to whom may humanity cry for help ? World needs are intellectual, spiritual, moral, social, industrial. We may dole out our millions for bread when people are starving, but what the world wants is to feel that America is living the life that Christian Democracy proposes. If America fails the whole scheme of Christian civilization fails. Is it not the highest type of honor and patriotism for each and every American to make the very most of his life as an individual citizen. The leavening power of such a life is amazing. Are you willing to build a great life for yourself? Human hearts are the same around the world. Properly awakened, nurtured and trained they become efficient, practical, musical, home-loving and home-building peoples with beautiful lives and wonderful ideals. Will the darkened peoples of the world, through the horrors of war and other agencies, get to know that there are better ways of living? The youth of the world have a right to a chance. There is need for help, a marked awakening and a concerted international movement of youth toward mutual friendship and helpfulness. May they refuse to receive the inheritance of hate which they are supposed to receive. May they shake off the social, intellectual, religious and industrial suffocation. May they demand a chance. Who is to lend a hand to these teeming multitudes ? Is it up to the American people to lead the world out into the new day just ahead? America has a glorious past. We love our country for what it has been and what it is to us. It is our glorious country and we love it. A new day is dawning in which we need to be patriotic, not only for what our country is to us, but for what we can make it mean to the whole world; a world patriotism rooted deep in the brotherhood of man. —Anonymous.

No Picture Douglas Bryant Helen Carver Mildred Johnson Thayline Grey Harold Lauderback Hunter Mauldin Page Thirty-one WHAT IS THE DEMOCRATIC WAY OF LIFE? THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE Since coming over to high school I have written an essay each year. In the ninth and tenth grades I struggled with either alcohol or birds. Last year my paper was about the pursuit of happiness. I don’t care for alcohol at all; birds are pretty but they don’t interest me particularly; and as for pursuing happiness, there are so many crazy ways you can look at that. But this year I feel that my essay is going to be different. I love the Democratic way of life— the American way. It interests me; it is how I want to live. And, —there is only one way you can look at it: that is with respect, admiration, fierce longing if you don’t have it and a greater desire to keep it if you do. Why? Because in America you get out of life what you put into it. “In America, we have freedom, individualism, and a God’s plenty of everything.” That’s the way life should be. That’s the Democratic way of life. I speak for the youth of today. I have read about the German schools, about the lies and propaganda which they teach. I want an education, but one that is exempt from government dictate and fancies. I choose the American education— the kind you get under a Democratic government. I have heard about the German newspapers and the German radio. I know that there are concentration camps for men who say what they think. I cherish America’s freedom of speech and freedom of the press. I have seen pictures of the faces of the German people living under Hitler. They are unhappy faces—dull faces,— lifeless faces. I love the face of freedom —eager, ambitious, full of life and happiness. That is the kind of face you see in Page Thirty-two the streets of a Democratic country. It is the American’s face. All Europe says Americans are money minded. I want to run true to form, if that be true. The average American is better off economically than the average European. He has more land, more money in the bank, and more luxuries. The American laborer is a millionaire compared with the peasant in a land governed by a dictator. Religion,— We all know what our religions mean to iis. In that country where Judaism flourished and Christianity was born, religion is now buried— buried deep under an avalanche of hate and intolerance. These conditions prevail in Germany today. In America, religion is what each person wants it to be. I’ll take the Democratic way, the American way and worship God as I please. I have read and heard about dictatorships. One fact stands out clearly in my mind: the people in a dictator-infested land are slaves. They are not free as I am. They must do what one man forces them to do. I must do what the majority of the people vote is right. I look forward to that day on which I shall cast my first ballot. Living in an age whose modern conveniences bring disaster so near from across the sea, 1 shall vote in “fearless courage” to preserve that which I know is right. All that I have written here has been written before and will be written again. It has been expressed more fluently than I could hope to do, and in the future better words are yet to come. Yet I believe that none could say it with more sincerity. I cherish the Democratic way of life. I salute America. I love her. She gives me the only life worth living. “God Bless America” and the American way of life. —George Goss Smith CLASS of 1942 John Younc President Harry Brackett Vice President Elaine Young Secretary Katheleen Carroll Treasurer SPONSORS Earl Todd Mrs. Fern Bateman W.

Page fyjrty-one i WHY I SALUTE THE FLAG The flag of the United States is to me a symbol of democracy of the country in which I wras born. Out of respect and belief in this country I salute the flag of the United States. Every person should be proud to live in so great a country, free of the war mongols of Europe. It is only fitting that these people should show their gratitude by saluting the flag that is a symbol of the struggles our forefathers went through in order to give the free and the brave a land in which to hold up the standards set down by our constitution. The flag stands for National Unity. The symbol of the forty-eight states, waving gently in the morning air, cannot help but stir the blood in every patriot’s veins. Why then should he not salute his own flag, the flag of forty-eight free and independent states united in the common cause of liberty. Whenever the people of the United States stop saluting their flag, no longer will we remain united, for a government can only be maintained when the people support it. —Junior Elder.

We had lots of patience and stayed in school all winter, studying hard as good little students should, but Lo! came spring—and we got spring fever. The Junior College, our leading light and example, couldn’t stand it either, so they planned a “sneak day,” all very well-chaperoned and sponsored. This gave the seniors a bright idea. They would sneak too. Well, the juniors, not to be out-done, got the same bright idea. And the sophomores who would he juniors someday too, put in their two cents worth, and then the news leaked out— The pictures found on these pages were taken before the eventful day that the faculty announced their knowledge of “Sneak Day.” Afterwards the impression you would get from looking at everyone would be that everybody’s best friend had just passed out. After the teachers said what they did, what were we to do? All in all, school is a pretty swell place and we’re convinced that the annual, sponsored, senior picnic is worth waiting four years for. After all is said and done, it will seem pretty bad to leave. To think that everyone will go his separate way and not be with his classmates ever again, (Unless the class prophecy comes true). The fun I’ve had in my four years of high school is something that isn’t easy to put in words. Like all freshmen, I thought quite a lot of myself and my talents upon entering high school. But then it seemed to be a pretty serious business being in high school and being around those brilliant seniors. It even seemed to Page Fifty-six First Row—Joe, High steppers, A good one!

Fourth Row—Young love. be a good idea to study. But in spite of the hard work and the terrific burden of being a freshman, I had a grand time going every place children are allowed. When a sophomore, the fun began increasing in leaps and bounds, for I was growing up. At this time, even the teachers became more human and at times it was fun to play practical jokes on them. Learning to raise one eyebrow while the other one was down was about the most important and useful thing I learned while a sophomore. The thrill of football games was one of the highest points in life and oh! those good looking drummers—all right, maybe it was the drummers rather than the football game. At last a junior and activities began to loom up in importance. Joining this club and that was something big all in itself. Then being in programs and everything made you feel—well, you know. The junior-senior banquet was about the best thing of the whole year. And now the four glorious years have slipped by, much to quickly and the time is growing short for fun in high school. Oh, I know you say you’ll be glad for your time to come, but just wait until you are a senior. Yes, summer vacation is something to look forward to and so do I. But to think of being out for good and not be-looking to that certain grand time that comes first in high school, is something to bring a lump in your throat. So as a senior I say have all the fun you can, because it doesn’t last half long enough. Page Fifty-eight BABY DAYS 1. Mary Ellen Harper 2. Jackie Rule 3. Mary Stallard 4. Imogene Rainwater 5.

THE AMERICAN FLAG Bv Joseph Rodman Drake When Freedom from her mountain height Unfurled her standard to the air, She tore the auzure robe of night, And set the Stars of glory there. She mingled with its gorgeous dyes The milky baldric of the skies, And striped its pure celestial white With streakings of the morning light; Then from his mansion in the sun She called her Eagle-bearer down, And gave into his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land. Majestic monarch of the cloud, I'ho rear’st aloft thy regal form, To hear the tempest-trumpings loud, And see the lightning-lances driven, When stride the warriors of the storm, And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven;— Child of the Sun 1 to thee ’tis given To guard the banner of the free, To hover in the sulphur-smoke, To ward away the battle-stroke, And bid its blending shine afar, Like rainbows on the cloud of war, The harbingers of victory! Flag of the brave 1 thy folds shall fly, The sign of hope and triumph high! When speaks the signal-trumphet tone, And the long line comes gleaming on-—-Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet, Has dimmed the glistning bayonet— Each soldier eye shall brightly turn To where thy sky-born glories burn; And as his springing steps advance, Catch war and vengeance from the glance. And when the cannon-mouthings loud Heave in wild wreaths the battle-shroud, And gory sabers rise and fall Like shoots of flame on midnight’s pall— There shall thy meteor-glances glow, And cowering foes shall shrink beneath Each gallant ram that strikes below That lovely messenger of death. Flag of the seas [ on ocean wave Thy Stars shall glitter o’er the brave; When Death careering on the gale, Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail, And frightened waves rush wildly back Before the broadside’s reeling rack, Each dying wanderer of the sea Shall look at once to heaven and thee And smile to see thy splendor fly In triumph o’er his closing eye. Flag of the free, heart’s hope and home 1 By angel hands to valor given! Thy Stars have lit the welkin dome, And all thy hues were born in Heaven, Fore’er float that standard-sheet! Where breathes the foe but falls before us, With Freedom’s soil beneath our feet, And Freedom’s banner streaming o’er us 1 Page Sixty-two MENTORS Tom Grisham graduated from Okmulgee High School in 1928. The following year he entered Tulsa University. He played football there for three years, and then became freshman coach and assistant varsity coach. He came to Sapulpa from Elk City, where he had coached four years. He has also coached at Henryetta. This year Coach Grisham will complete his third year as head coach of Sapulpa High. He has had a fine team this year, and we are looking for another just as good next fall. GUIDE ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES Jack Cox, our assistant coach, graudated from High School in Quannah, Texas, in 1929. He attended Southeastern College at Durant and graduated in 1939. His record at Tecumseh as a coach showed eight games won and only one lost. This is his second year at coaching in Sapulpa. He is in charge of the back field. Jack Sutliff is our B squad coach and also our end coach. This is Jack’s third year at Sapulpa. He graduated from Blackwell in 1934 and from the Central State Teachers College in 1938. He is the one who is building our future teams and helping our varsity ends.

THE CHIEFTAINS The Sapulpa Chieftains started practice for our fall schedule on September the second with only five lettermen back. They were: Parker, Knipp, Duckert, Riley, and Alexander. The team made up for lack of veterans and smallness of stature in ability and willing-noss to fight. After three weeks of hard work, the team was ready on September the twenty-first, for our first game with Wagoner. We had a very good season but were on the short end of many of the scores. Douglas Duckert, our triple-threat halfback, was placed on both the Tulsa World and Tulsa Tribune’s second all-state teams. Bobby Duckert, our center, Wayne Alexander, our tackle, and Carroll Parker, another triplethreat halfback, were placed on Bristow’s all opponent team. Parker and Duckert w'ere both placed on the second all-Oklahoma Six team. Jackets vrith letters were given again this year to all men eligible to receive them. They were presented to the boys by the Athletic Board. CO-CAPTAINS Carroll Parker Half-back Douglas Duckert Half-back Page Sixty-four FOOTBALL Opening the season, the Chieftains entertained the Wagoner eleven. Because of lack of experience and weight, we barely defeated them 6-0. Duckert, one of our veterans of last year, was game captain. The first conference game was played at Muskogee with the formidable Roughers, who later captured the Oklahoma six crown. We were narrowly defeatedly in a hard but clean fought game 6-0. Alexander, another letterman, was game captain. Bouncing back from our defeat, the Chieftains literally ran over our friendly rivals from Sand Springs. The score was 26-7 with Parker, our leading scorer of the season, game captain. First Row—Earl Saner, Steven Terry, Pearman Herrin, James Hopkins, T. J. Haney, Dean Heming. Secorul Row—James Redding, Lon Jackson, Pat Riley, Norman Matlock, Bobby Duckert, David Knipp. Our second conference game was at Skelly Stadium with the Daniel Webster Warriors. This game proved to he the most exciting and thrilling game of the season. The Warriors finally defeated us with the tally 19-13. David Knipp, our quarterback, was the game captain. Henryetta was our next foe. We met at Holmes Park in a close and bitter struggle which ended in a 6-6 tie.This was our only tie of the season and made us even at the end of half of our games, 2 won, 2 lost and 1 tie. I he highly favored Tulsa Central Braves defeated us the next week but not in the way expected bv sports followers. The game, marked by an exceptionally large amount of Central penalties, still gave them the edge in scoring 26-7. Duckert was game captain. Back in Skelly Stadium we cteariy outplayed the Will Rogers team, but passes which prov d to b£ our downfall (3 passes for 3 touchdowns) I irsl Row Garland Kclin, Joe Bias, Winston Rose, William Taylor, Dclmar Bailey, Pat Riley.

Our traditional rivals, Bristow, were our foes in the Armistice Day game. They rang up another statistical victory. The Purple Pirates, led by LeForce, out scored us in a tight game 13-6. Parker was game captain. On a field covered with mud and water and during a steady rain, we snatched our only conference victory from the Bartlesville Wildcats after playing a quarter with a twelve point lead. The final score was 25-12. Knipp was game captain. Our final game of the season was played at Okmulgee with the Bulldogs. Although we were handicapped by marriage and sickness, we nevertheless played a hard game. We finally bowed to the Bulldogs 20-0. Parker was game captain.

BASKETBALL Underour new basketball coach, Dick Krueger, who was an all American forward at A. and M. College, the Sapulpa high’s basketball team showed a marked improvement over last year’s team. In Coach Krueger’s first season at the helm of our team we won 9 and lost 13 games. In seven of these defeats we lost by less than four points and three of these were in overtime which proved a jinx to us as we were unable to win a single overtime. We ended the season well though by winning five out of the last seven games. We also were eliminated from the district tournament by Will Rogers, the State Champs, by only one point. The team showed plenty of fight and we expect big things of Coach Krueger and his team next year as we lose only a few lettermen. First Row—NormaiLMatlock, Sam Naifeh, T. J.

The Jumbilee was under the direction of Mrs. Glenwood Miller and Mrs. Harry Croston. FRESHMAN DAZE The Freshman put on a variety show which they called “Freshman Daze.” The date set for this was January 31, 1941. The freshman Glee Club participated and there were also three short skits given. The program was under the direction of Mr. Towery. Page Eightv-seven I’M GLAD I GO TO A DEMOCRATIC SCHOOL First Row—Goin’ some place? Second Row—Smile pretty. Third Row—Watch the birdie. When I entered Sapulpa High School as a freshman it was, definitely, the turning point of my career. At first, the new methods and routines were very discouraging, but then, practice makes perfect. Looking back now, I can see the good times we had in class, even if some teacher did pick on me in Oklahoma History class and had me running around in circles trying to keep up with my other studies. In my sophomore year, things were different. I had finally become familiar with rushing in and out of doors, beating the bells by seconds. And even if Latin is a dead subject, those parties we had couldn’t be called dead. And Geometry Class! If there’s anything to the statement that “Bees make honey,” our class was heading in the right direction. By my junior year, I knew the teachers well, and oh, how well they knew me! My friends had been made and it was more like one happy family instead of a building full of strange people. At last, I dared to try my luck at Spanish. It didn’t hold. And those biology nightmares were enough to make any worm turn. A dignified senior at last, or, that’s what they tell me. This year the glamorous freshman girls stole the show from us. But all’s fair in love and war. And that sneak day! It was lots of fun planning even if we didn’t make a go of it. I am still struggling through English class and so far, Hamlet seems to be winning. A molecule of this and an atom of that certainly doesn’t add up to much more than chemistry class. In Spanish, I finally learned to say “Good morning.” Some day I might learn to say, “Good night.” This is a portion of my experiences in our own democratic Sapulpa High School, and joking aside, I think it’s really been fun. I’ve appreciated the efforts and democratic ideas of my teachers in making my four years in high school happy and memorable ones. I think Sapulpa Lligh is tops. Page Eighty-eight First Row—Confab, Professor, Oh my! Second Row—Close courtin’, Why Todd, Unidentified. Third Row—“Doc”. Fourth Row—Who are you lookin’ for?, Alma mater, New gym. First Row—Musical Beauties. Second Row—Or shall we? Third Row—Thinkin’s got him down Here’s to our high school days Shout till the rafters ring Stand and give a toast once again. Let every loyal man now sing Then here’s to all the happy hours To all the careless days To her our alma mater; The school of our hearts always. To the trees, to the sky! To the spring in its glorious happiness, To the youth, to the fire, To the life that is moving and calling us, To the gods, to the fates, To the rulers of the men and their destines, To the lips, to the eyes, To the girls who will love us some day! Here’s to our high school days Shout till the rafters ring Stand and give a toast once again. Let every loyal man now sing Then here’s to all the happy hours To all the careless days To her our alma mater; The school of our hearts always. Page Ninety First Row—Waterboy, Pills or pals?

To have both a vacation and fulfill the longing to return home, we find the class of 1941. On our bus-ride to the fair, our first surprise is to find that Peggy Emerson is the bus-driver, and we learn from her that Betty Jo Walker also drives a bus. As we enter the gates we are met by a guide who turns out to be our old friend Stanley Land-rith. He informs us that Douglas Bryant and Lon Jackson are also guides. As we pass through the elaborately designed and beautifully constructed entrance, we are informed it was planned by architect Bill Myers. We pay our entrance fee to Hunter Mauldin, the gate keeper, and enter. We obtain rickashays and find to our amazement that David Knipp is our driver. As we start our trip, we see Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Parker, the former Glenna Franklin, with their triplets. We enter the art gallery which is sponsored by Klingensmith and VanAltenburg, known in their school days as Lula Mae and Betty June. Inside we gaze on the most beautiful and modern art. We were spellbound by Mildred Stroud’s “Tomorrow’s Man.” As we turn from the picture, we see the twice divorced Nelson Thoos with his third wife, Arlene Heath. We continue through the art gallery and see that inseparable threesome Wanda Rhoades, Mary Louise Crum, and Jean Stowers. They tell us about the airplane crash which severely injured its test pilot, Juanita Gray. As we leave the gallery, we run into that Broadway playboy, Roy Scott surrounded by chorus beauties, two of them being Jane Ann Gilbert and Betty Patty. By this time we have seen lots and heard lots and are beginning to get hungry, and where do you suppose we happen to stop? At Mary Douvas’ who is following in her father’s footsteps. After eating, and a long talk with Mary, we go to the horse races to put our money on Sorrowful Sue, a beautiful old sway-back nag owned by Barbara Jean Johnson, and the jockey is Leo Carson. After finding our seats, we look around and see the famous hat designer, Miss Jacqueline Rule, wearing her latest hat creation called “The Fruit Bearer.” Boy, does she look like a million, escorted by Jimmy Routsong, who is said to be engaged to Betty Bassham. Gee, here comes Oklahoma’s favorite senator, Olen Kelin and with him is his wife, the former Virginia Evans. As their guests, they have with them that old maid Susan Potter who is a prominent playwrite. With Susan is her secretary Doris Hamlin who is known for her speed in taking dictation. As the usual thing there is a popcorn, peanut and soda pop seller, and this one happens to be the genial Robert Gish who fits his profession so well. The race is on. Boy, will we ever be in the money if Sorrowful Sue wins this race, so we relax and chatter among ourselves till the race ends and what do you know, we won. And as our horse is decorated with the horse shoe of flowers, we quickly run down to get our money and who should we meet at the ticket office but Burdette Burton, whose face is longer than ever because he bet on “Sea Horse” and now has to pay us off. We take our “thousands” and rush over to the telephone exhibit just in time to hear Sarah Hodges’ name called and she gets to call Hollywood. Who do you suppose she calls, Benny Baker, the star and song bird of the air. We linger here, in hopes that our name will be called but we can’t be lucky all the time. Gosh, look who just walked in, none other than those 1942 debutants, Juanita Boushee, Toy Frazer, and Minnie Moore. Following them are the uncatchables, Douglas Duckert, Earl Saner, and Jimmie Deer. As we rush out we hear that new arrangement of “Only Fools Rush In,” rearranged by Jelly Martin and sung by the former blonds, but present brunettes Doris Clark, Betty Mack, Patty Ann Ligon, and Martha Wilcox. Everybody is getting hungry, so we go to the French “Cafe Exterieur” which means an outside cafe, and our Maitre,, commonly known as a waiter, is none other than Harold Lauderback. We hear that famous all-girl orchestra lead by George Goss Smith, with Ursula White playing a solo clarinet and Betty Jane Robbins playing the violin, and on the drums is Mary Lou Wilson, and the featured soloist is Etta Petty. At the table next to us is Helen Carver and her husband, Charles Mowry, who look very happy together. When Harold brings us our food, he tells us it was especally prepared for us by the chef, Bobby Wilkinson. As we regretfully leave, we catch sight of those old maid school teachers, Twilla Carter and Ella Mathewson, who are here at a teachers convention. We learn from them that Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Slater, the former Joy McGrew, are also teachers. While walking on the grounds, we are surprised to see an excited group of people, but we are more surprised than ever to see Guv Fitzsimmons and George Weaver fighting. They are soon stopped by policeman Billy Rogers. We learned later their scrap was over Zelma Lee Turner, now one of the sales girls in James Newman’s five and ten. Page Ninety-four We see at a water fountain, Helen Williams with her assistants, Maxine Cue and Lahoma Crow. Helen received an outstanding medal for her work with the Red Cross this year. They all were anxious to tell us that outstanding boy Billy Bateman is engaged to marry Jane Sidwell soon. Jane has selected interior decorator, Melba Ob-born as her maid of honor. Hobart Robertson is to act as best man. We go over to the carnival grounds and as we start to get on the ferris-wheel, we see Nell Bradley, Mary Ellen Harper and Ila Mac Post trying to bum a ride. We also ride on the merry-go-round, operated by Forest Hinderer, and we see Irving Bartlett and wife, the former Vivian Fitzgerald, and their two small children. Here comes Lois Jackson and Mary Haught eating cotton candy, and do they have it smeared all over their faces ? We hear news of the parachute wedding and we rush over to see it. With Paul Bailey as minister; J. B. Cox, best man; Betty Lou Brim, matron of honor; and Dorothy Jane Morris, bridesmaid. Dorothy Naifeh is becoming the bride of Robert Leachman. As we are crowding nearer, we see Georgcnc Tait and Lcla Morford busily engrossed with their foot-long hotdogs, which they tell us they bought at Clarence Ezzell’s hot-dog stand. We mosey along and see Betty Carman and Lillian Jones, and not far behind is O. R. Bennett still chasing beautiful girls, although engaged to Betty Jeanne Turnbull. Our guide now takes us to the General Motors display and we see the president, Jesse Powell, his secretary Rosalie Nation, a salesman, Junior Elder and his secretary, Blanche Moses. Also we see Marjorie Miller and Betty Jo McClung busily typing away, and through the door of an office we see vice-president Charles Hartman. Hunger overtakes us and we are guided by the smell of fried chicken into a nearby restaurant where we partake of a southern cooked meal. Our waitress is Thayline Gray and she tells us the cook is Betty Burdick. The entertainment consists of a famous dance team made up of Imogene Rainwater and Joel Campbell. As we glance out the window we sec Juanita Harvey and Jane Kelly walking by dressed in their beautiful summer clothes that look like creations of the famous dress designer David Killian. Yes, it is, for Mary Stallard, David’s secretary has just come in with her two good friends, Doris Magee and Jane Charles and told us that he had retired from his extensive business. While we are all eating, Joe Willhclm and his wife Mary Ann Thrift, go by with their spoiled child, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Upshaw, the former Katherine Posey. Evening is here and now we enter the great night show. It is Billy Rawdon’s aquacade. And just before the show we see some of our former school mates, who are sauntering by in their bathing suits. They are Georgia Houston, Margaret Phipps, Marian Michener aquacade beauties. Seated to the right of us are Ralph Murphy, the well known editor of the “Free Press,” and his equally well known wife, the former Jacqueline Remy. The class of ’41 may well be proud of Billy Rawdon; his show was a great success. As we leave the aquacade we see that well known comedy team, Gibber McKee and Lolly, the former Patricia Aitcheson and Robert Bailey, accompaned by Freda Nell Riser, dean of a women’s college and her fiance Billy Langford. Something quite different catches our eye. “Delaine’s”. A beauty shop operated on the fairgrounds by Delaine Henderson. Looking we see hair dressers Mary Engles and Chester Brown closing up, and janitor Bobby Cleveland ready to clean up. As we rush to view the fireworks display, we bump into Myrtle Lear and her husband Frank Stainbrook, and they come along with us. What a terrific crowd! The mob surges on and the first thing we know, we are joined by that well known team of tennis stars, Georgene Allan and Eugene Henderson. They have just come back from California where they won all honors in tennis doubles. They tell us that Mildred Johnson is just taking the country by storm with her tennis game. She has won countless trophies. Are we proud to know such outstanding people were in our very own graduating class. We are now comfortably seated to watch the beautiful fireworks display. And what beautiful things! Harold VanArsdale is sponsoring the fireworks each night. Harold is quite a wealthy man. He owns a munitions plant on the outskirts of Sapulpa. It is said to be the second largest munitions plant in the world. However, it is second only to the one owned by multi-millionaire James Redding, also an old classmate. After the display is over, we are pushed with the crowd towards the huge entrance. We have been so glad that we were able to see all of our former classmates, but as we have checked them off of our list, we find that we didn’t hear about or see three of them. However, we are soon to see those night owls, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Howard, the former Frieda Bohanon, cruising round the city in their new convertible. We are so tired that by the time we reach the hotel we can hardly stay awake. But we are soon brought out of that as we see that glamourous movie star, “Myrna Patrick,” known to us as Mary Jo Pirtle, enter at the same time. We hear she kept her own initials so that the initials in her senior ring would correspond. She’s still wearing it too. As we tell “Myrna” goodnight, we know we shall never forget the most wonderful day of our lives; meeting our school chums again. Page Ninety-five THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1941 Hear ye!! Hear ye!! That we, the seniors of 1941 of Sapulpa High School, being sane in mind and realizing that our scholarly existence is about over and that we are soon to pass through the portals into the great wide world, and desiring to leave behind us some token, do hereby make this our last will and testament.
