APUIPA SAPULPA HIGH SCHOOL TABLE OF CONTENTS ★ ★ ★ ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ★ ATHLETICS ★ ★ ★ ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES FOREWORD Today we are involved in a struggle to preserve a heritage of liberty and freedom which has come to us through the sacrificial devotion of our forefathers. In answering gallantly the call to once again defend our right to freedom, the alumni of our beloved Sapulpa High School have taken up the torch of our forefathers. 11 is to these former students who are in the armed forces that we, the class of 1944, proudly dedicate The Sapulpan. As you move into the future, meeting with the problems of life, it is our sincere wish that this annual will be a pleasant reminder of your happy days spent at Sapulpa High School. ★ YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE ★ We dedicate this issue of THE SAPULPAN to oil of the boys and girls who have run laughingly through the halls of Sapulpa Hi in mufti and who are now in the uniform of their country, marching steadily onward performing a much grimmer mission than they ever dreamed would be theirs.

Girl Hi-Y Queen ANITA BLODGETT Page Forty Yearbook King and Queen Page Forty-three CALENDAR Month of September 6 School begins with all the usual confusion, especially on the part of the Freshmen 8 The Freshmen are catching on quickly. 14 First assembly of the year, in honor of Mr. Moore, our former Dean of Boys. 15 Student Council held their first meeting with Edmund Cotton taking over his duties as president. 17 The Hi-Y boys met electing Billy Grigsby as the “Head Flunky”. Regular assembly was held. Mr. Prince gave an interesting talk on the Constitution. The first football game of the year was played at Stillwater winning, 8-0. Oh, well, just wait till we get good and started. 21 Mr. Dougherty took over as Dean of Boys. 23 Election of class officers was held, with Royce McDougal reigning over Senior Class as President. 24 Our first home football game. 27 Now we will have some real pep in S. H. S. 1 he Pepooses were organized with Miss Barbee as their sponsor. Month of October 1 At last the “Smoke Signal” was distributed. Everyone rushed to read the latest “goings on” in Wanda Morris column. 5 After much eye-scratching and hair-pulling, the committees finally decided on the Senior rings and announcements. 11 'The Sapulpan Yearbook Staff was selected. Frances Moore was named editor. 13 Seniors started taking orders for the Sapulpan. The lower classmen responded fine. 15 Officers of the F. H. O. attended a conference in Warner, Oklahoma, and from what they tell us, they must have had a good time. 20 And now we are learning those funny middle names. Seniors sign diploma list. “Yes. your whole name, please.” •21 Hi-Y Dinner. 26 The F. H. O. and F. F. A. had a picnic at the city park. Now, I know 1 should have joined the F. H. O. 29 No school today!! Aren’t teachers’ meetings a wonderful idea? Month of November 2 The band elected Elizabeth Shirley as their queen. 3 1 he day Mr. Davis saw a certain curly-haired sophomore boy kissing his girl in the hall. My, my, haven’t the upperclassmen exerted a better influence on the lower classmen than that? 9 1 he F. F. A. received their jackets, and arc they flashy! Army and Navy tests were given to Senior boys. 11 The Armistice Day assembly was very effective. And now prepare yourself for a shock. Yes, we won a game! Sapulpa 7, Bristow 0. Happy day!! 12 Mr. Ransbarger was seen wearing a very pretty tie as results of yesterday’s game. 24 The Thanksgiving assembly, presented by Mrs. Miller’s first hour speech class, was very good. The last football game of the season was played with Okmulgee. Well, we almost won! The highlight of the game was the crowning of the Band Queen between halves. 29 Basketball season opens. At last we all get a good look at Dale Sutterfield’s manly physique. Month of December 3 The Yearbook Staff sponsored “Girl Shy,” which was a howling success. 10 1 he Pepooses entertained the football boys at a “feed.” 11 At last the Seniors must work for a change for it is none other than the traditional Senior Sales Day. 17 The Christmas Assembly was presented bv the A Cappella Choir, which was enjoyed by all. School is out for the holidays. 21 Santa Claus came early with a load of Senior rings. 29 With everyone a little more content to study, school was resumed. Everyone came back showing off his Christmas presents. Month of January 4 1 he Basketball Assembly, written by two of our fellow students, Daphne Henderson and Mildred Berton, turned out to be a great success. I guess we shall all attend the games now, that is if we don’t want to be tried in court. Bartlesville won the first game. But this can’t go on forever.

Our “X” Mark Hereunto, we as witnesses to the said will and testament of the Senior Class, without the permission of the said Seniors, with great happiness, have here below subscribed our names. Anne Lantz Janice Davis Norma Jean Laidley Page Forty-six Class Prophecy of 1944 ★ ★★★★★ -A It is now our extreme pleasure to look ahead and tell you what we see of the Senior Class of 1944 in the year of 1954. We find it very interesting to look into our future. It seems that, somehow, almost everyone of the class has drifted out to California; so, we shall follow them right along out there on the Choo-Choo, to see their whithers, whethers, and whereabouts. What a great surprise it is not only to find our porters to be none other than Carl Prater and Robert Nation, but also to discover Tack Haught as the engineer and Walter Bitsko as the conductor. We go into the diner and are waited on by Armilda Riser, Ursula Ledesma and Helen Chandler. We are amused to find Helen flirting with John Holtzclaw, a detective. We find Jimmy Wood and Earl Fox having a delightful game of poker in the Club Car. Bill Brooks is also enjoying this relaxing pastime. We change trains at Dogwood City, and run upon the famous Dickie Moulder simply surrounded by female admirers. He is on a nation-wide tour, playing the piano before large audiences, just as he did for us in dear old S. H. S. On this train we meet Cambron “Tut” Moore and Bert Hickman dressed in suits of various colors, who give us an entertaining variety of singing which they are going to do in the next town—Ghost Town. We also see Mary June McMahan going out to visit her husband for a while, even though the war is over. When we finally reach our destination, we get off and hear the familiar voice of Garland Ben Smith, calling trains. He also has attracted quite a mob of females because of his unusually loud and boisterous voice (and whistle). We purchase a newspaper and scan through it hurriedly at first; but as our eyes begin to fall upon some familiar names and faces, we begin to take more interest. We read in the society section of a meeting of the “Old Maid’s Society” held at Elizabeth Shirley’s house. Some of those attending were Louise Boaz, Janice Davis, Dorothy Hanks, Billie Davidson, Mary Louise Alexander, and Maxine Faupell. (We read that Donald Dickens and Irene Arnold, after many years of courtship are at last to marry.) We hear a great commotion and look to see a great parade coming down the street; Carol Jean Cotton is drum major and Maxine Bassham and Julia Marout-sos are twirlers. Whom do we see in the limousine but Edmund Cotton. He has had an exciting victory over Richard Hartman, who, we suppose, will keep attempting to “make” the opera. After the parade we hail a taxi. Who do you imagine is the taxi driver? Our old, faithful, high school friend, lorn Evans. Lie is a good driver but getting somewhat “reckless” in his old age. On the way, we spy Eula Mae Lovett and Leona Lee Gantz walking happily down the street with their husbands, former soldiers they met at Camp Gruber in high school days. When we finally reach our destination, a luxurious but antiquated hotel, we go up to the proprietor. He turns around. Holy mackerel!!! It’s Charlie Robertson. We talk over old times and he tells us that his wife, Eulalah Smith, is the head chorus girl over at the “Swank Club,” and invites us to atend it some evening with him. This we promise to do in the near future. He also tells us there are some other of our former high school associates in the chorus. We go up to our room to rest and listen to the radio. First, we hear the famous opera singer, Dorothy Simpson. We then hear some swooning and screaming; it is none other than Dale Sutterfield on the Hit Parade. Fie sings “Blues in the Night,” and all the ladies faint; after Page Forty-seven those screams we hear some ghostly ones as it is Allen Jeter’s and Joe Bill Pette-way’s “Mystery at Midnight Hour.” After that gruesome experience we decide to crawl into bed and rest our weary bones before starting on our tour of California the next day. We awake and recall our eventful trip from Sapulpa and how lucky we are to have seen so many Seniors of 1944, and hope that we will be that lucky from now on. We make preparations to go to Palm Springs where the movie stars go for a rest. Those on the sight-seeing tour with us are: Betty Bradshaw, Lorene Charles, Billy Clark, Jeannette Mitchell, Dorsey McCleary and Donald Ray Hanna. We soon lose the last two, however, when we come to Lover’s Lane. These people have all become very rich and influential and manage to get us in. We enjoy the morning as we see many movie actors and actresses, among whom are Geraldine Mayfield, Mildred Jackson, and Daphne Henderson. They tell us they are actresses, but someone later informs us that they are just personal maids. After a grand time there we decide to go to the Rose Bowl, where we witness an exciting game and see some of our football boys back in ’44, now heroes. These are Buddy Livingston, Vaughn Fairbank, Royce McDougal, and R. D. Davis, captain of the team. After the game we manage to confer with the boys. We talk over old times and discover Max Hickey is missing. We inquire about him and learn that he is a well-known oreacher and happily married to Martha Faye Deer, the famous trumpet player. We have to go to the hairdressers, where we find Goldie Haney, Louise Bassham, Alynne Nelson, Frances Ritchie and Dorma Warrenburg all working like mad on Lucille Thomas, Mary Margaret Treib, Patty McAffrey and Pauline Hay, who are going to take a screen test. Whom do you suppose we find in the corner? None other than John Lynn fixing Betty Jeanne Winn’s beautiful auburn locks. He is chief hairdresser at the “Hollywood Beauty Salon”. Page Forty-eight We decide to go to the Boxing Tournament of the world’s champion, Paul Ray Andrews. His opponent this time is, well, what do you know, Nelson Escue, who comes into the ring with two black eyes. He must have been up late the night before. It’s a gripping fight for three whole minutes, after which, Andrews has his opponent flat on his face. The referee is Eugene Robertson, but we find out that he can’t even count to ten. At this, his wife, Wanda Fenska, faints. They have to get another referee. The winner’s wife, Norma Jean Laidley, is seen feeding her kids candy and popcorn. We return to the hotel. On entering the hotel, we find Charlie waiting to take us to the “Swank Club”. We hate to refuse—you know how it is; so, we agree to go with him. He guarantees us a good time. We have just that. Upon arrival we are met by the hat check girl, Anita Blodgett, all dolled up in the cutest little outfit. We immediately become interested in seeing the show. We have a reserved table. I'he patrons are really excited as the curtain comes up, and onto the stage dances the “Cutsie Tootsies”. We identify many former schoolmates in this little number : Violet Gooch, Nina Brown. Dorothy Gish, Mary Jo Raby, Mary Powers, Etta Tean Williams, and Deloria Edwards. They supply us with a very delightful song and dance routine. After the show they come to out-table and we throw an “Auld Acquaintance” party. We finally drag home; and after about two hours’ rest, we start bright and early to go to Santa Anita to see Bing Crosby’s horse races. As we go to the stand, we find Bill Bolling and his wife, Helen Upshaw, Robert Edens and his wife, Viola Kay, having a “knockdown and drag-out” because Bill and Robert placed their bet on “Lame Foot,” one of Crosby’s prized possessions. We also discover some of the married woman of S. H. S. all in a group gossiping; they have just come from a bridge party. They are: June Terry McKnight, Colleen Carr, Billie Douglas, Helen Kirkwood Jones, Virginia Patton Davis, Virginia Willard Johnson, and Jeannette Hugo Simpson. We inquire about their little pink-cheeked cherubs. They tell us they left them at Vonda Lee Harper’s day nursery. We see a fight at the betting stand between Tommy Sawyer and Robert Rush. Their wives, Frances Moore and Valeda Van Horn, are standing off biting their teeth and gnashing their nails. Some of the spectators of this fight are Glenn Jameson, John Bennett, Katherine Fitzgerald and Mary LaVerne Moody. They have just finished a game of tennis. We notice the announcer is beginning the race. We recognize Bill Grigsby’s voice. Some of the jockeys are Bill Bonham, H. P. Bowles, and Dewey Johnson. It is a run to the finish, but H. P. Bowles wins by a nose (naturally). We leave the races and decide to go across the Golden Gate Bridge at San Francisco. It is getting dark when we get there; and after inspection by Amon Young, we start across. Some old friends we meet, now good stenographers, are Joy Rodgers, Peggy Swindle, and Rosie Ruth. We also meet Anne Lantz and Carol Snider, now script writers for radio station LSMFT. We are going across the Bay Bridge enjoying the beautiful view when, all of a sudden, a dreadful siren is sounded, and we see lights all over the Bay. We also see Alcatraz at a distance. Pretty soon some guards come, Dewey Phipps, Jerry Parker, Floyd Woods, Leabron Walker and Glenn Rose. They are searching for two escaped convicts; namely, C. K. Wagner and Jackie Miner. We are all aghast at the mention of these names. The guards depart, and soon we hear a noise. Two drenched figures emerge from the water. We help them onto the bridge. We welcome them and set about deciding how we are going to get home, happy that the whole Senior Class of 1944 has been reunited once again. ★ ★ ★ CALENDAR (Continued from Page 44) Month of January, Continued 6 “We Followed Our Hearts to Hollywood”, a book review by Lewis Meyer, was sponsored by the Auditorium Board.

And how it did rain! 18 Teachers went to Oklahoma City for the State Teachers’ meeting. These teachers’ meetings are still a wonderful idea. Okay, okay, the students agree with me, anyway. 22 War Service Board presented an excellent assembly. Vanessa Ponder was crowned Bond Queen. 25 Bristow journeyed here for a Basketball game and won! Oh, well, we beat them once this year, anyway. 28 'Fhc Seniors began to feel like real Seniors when they got their measurements for caps and gowns.

A. also presented a short program. 31 The Juniors presented “Gabriel Blow Your Horn”, a great success. Month of April 7 The Easter Assembly was presented by the A Cappella Choir. 14 What will these freshmen do when they become seniors? They certainly showed us they had talent in “Freshman Frolic”. 21 A band concert was given at night. Our neighbors from Booker T. school gave us a fine program. 28 The Senior play, “She’s a Soldier’s Sweetheart”, was an excellent performance. Month of May 5 The A Cappella Choir presented the assembly in connection with the National Music Week, which is observed eacli year. Bristow and Drumright bands were our guests at a mass band concert held in the auditorium at night. 10 Awards Assembly. Scholarships and loving cups were awarded to the honored students. 12 Junior-Senior Banquet. Thanks, Juniors, for a really swell banquet.

The end of four truly wonderful years. Each Senior was a little sad as he bade Sapulpa High adieu. 19 School closed. Farewell to all.

ATHLETIC COACH The Football and Basketball teams were very fortunate this year in getting Mr. Bomgardner as coach. He received his masters degree at Oklahoma A. and M. College. He was coach at Wagoner for two and one-half years, and then at Nowata for four and one-half years, where he taught before coming to Sapulpa. B. BOMGARDNER Page Sixty Hob Wright, Max Hickey, Fred Taylor Stillwater 8 - Sapulpa 0 Two points for being caught behind the goal line in the first quarter and a fumble leading to a touchdown in the last minute of the half cost Sapulpa a defeat by Stillwater in the first game of the season. Stillwater’s line was stronger, but the backfield of each team was about even. Coach Bom-gardner was very well pleased with the results of the game. Sapulpa 0 - Muskogee 6 Bright spots of defensive playing, great teamwork, and improving coordination of the Chieftains kept their opponents’ score to a minimum in the first conference game of the season. The Roughers were a heavier, more experienced team than the Chieftains, but well synchronized defensive and offensive playing by the Chieftains offset the tricky and speedy “T” formation play of the Roughers. Sapulpa was within a short distance of the scoring line when the game ended. Sapulpa showed very brilliant kicking in the game. Page Sixty-one Ermond Smith, R. D. Davis, co-captain; Bill Bonham, Wendell Briggs, Dale Sutterfield Albert Scott, Royce McDougal, Leroy Wilson, Wayne Carrol, Buddy Livingston Sapulpa 0 - Tulsa Webster 6 With increasing improvement, the Sapulpa Chieftains on October 8 came very close to upsetting the much acclaimed Tulsa Webster team, losing by the very low score of 6-0. Ihe Chieftains showed consistent fight and rushed the opponents’ line so fast that many fumbles were made by the Webster team, '['he Chieftains failed to make use of these fumbles, but often showed a potential threat. Henryetta 24 - Sapulpa 6 In Sapulpa’s most crushing defeat of the season, the Chieftains lost to the Henryetta Hens by a score of 24-6 on October 15. The Chieftains made only one touchdown after capitalizing on a fumble near Henryetta’s goal line. Page Sixty-two Don Ricdcrer, Howard Randolph, Vaughn Fairbank, Bill Robbins, Joe McRevnolds Tom Taylor, Charles Vertrees, Bill Jones, Bob Eshelman, Billy Stone Sapulpa 0 - Tulsa Central 19 The Chieftains, playing at Skelly Field in their third conference game of the season, bowed to the Central High Braves by a score of 19-0. The Chieftains were considerably outweighed by their opponents, but put up a very fine fight. Sapulpa 7 - Bristow 0 Climaxing the most outstanding Armistice Day celebration ever held by Bristow and Sapulpa, the Sapulpa Chieftains showed their mettle and defeated the visiting Purple Pirates by a score of 7-0. We got to keep the inter-city trophy for another year, and Mr. Ransbarger won a tie. It was a good game from the beginning to the end, hard fought and evenly played. Sapulpa 0 - Bartlesville 12 Hit by a new wave of strength in the last half, the Chieftains played a brilliant game and held the Bartlesville Wildcats until the third period, when Bartlesville tallied a score of 12-0 against them. The Chieftains outplayed the Wildcats in the first half and really shotved excellent form. Sapulpa 7 - Okmulgee 13 The Sapulpa Chieftains in the last game of the season on November 24th, lost to the invading Okmulgee team by a score of 13-7. I he Chieftains were ahead up to the last minute of the game, when Okmulgee made a successful pass, good for a touchdown. Page S.xtv-thrcc BASKETBALL Although the Chieftains did not always win, they were held in high esteem by their fans and by their opponents. They were especially admired for their sportsmanlike conduct on the court and the enthusiasm with which they played. Here’s hats off to you, Chieftains. May you hold up the traditions of Sapulpa High next year as you have done this year. Our games this year were as follows: JANUARY 4— The Sapulpa Chieftains in the first conference game of the season showed a lack of skill and experience, but managed to hold the invading Bartlesville quintette’s score to a minimum. Due to illness of five of its lettermen, the squad lacked experienced players, and when the last whistle blew the score was 12-27 in favor of Bartlesville. JANUARY 11—The Chieftains, showing very excellent defensive playing, invaded Daniel Webster and were routed by a score of 16-32. It was our second conference loss of the season, but our boys fought with true sportsmanship. Rovcc McDougal was high point man of the game. JANUARY 14—'The invading Sapulpa Chieftains were trounced by a score of 16-41 at the hands of the Will Rogers Ropers. The Chieftains were completely outmatched, but their outstanding teamwork was the highlight of the game. Buddie Livingston was our outstanding player with 7 points to his credit. JANUARY 18 — Meeting one of the conference leaders, the Central Braves, the Sapulpa Chieftains were defeated by the invading quintette by a score of 17-30. Royce McDougal was high point man with a total of 7 points. JANUARY 24 — The Sapulpa Chieftains came out with the short end of a 12-27 score when they played the Okmulgee Five on their opponent’s own stomping ground. The high point players of this game were Buddie Livingston and Royce McDougal. JANUARY 25 — Bartlesville upset the invading Chieftains bv a score of 51-19. The Chieftains played very good basketball and held the spotlight on several tricky and well coordinated plavs. The Chieftains made the first score and the Bartlesville aggregation later made their scores. Max Hickey was our outstanding player with five points, while Charles Vertrces led a close second with three points. FEBRUARY 1—The invading Okmulgee Pirates defeated the Chieftains in one of the hardest fought games of the season. The game was very thrilling and kept the spectators guessing as to the outcome of the game. Well—they won again by a score of 29-36. FEBRUARY 3 —The Chieftains suffered another heavy defeat at the hands of a strong Will Rogers team here in the Washington gym. Buddie Livingston was the Chieftains’ high point man with a total score of 8 points but Rogers defeated the Chieftains by a close score of 18-21. FEBRUARY 8 — Journeying to Bristow in the afternoon, the Chieftains won their first and only basketball game of the season when they defeated the Bristow Purple Pirates in a court thriller. Bill Bonham held the spotlight for the Chieftains by scoring 7 points. The score at the end of the game was 17-12. FEBRUARY 15 — The Chieftains were defeated here in the afternoon in a conference game with the Tulsa Webster Warriors by a score of 21-44. The locals showed very much pep and good defensive playing throughout the game. The outstanding player of the afternoon was Buddie Livingston with 7 points and close behind was Royce McDougal with 6 points. FEBRUARY 18 — The Muskogee 'Roughers defeated the Sapulpa Chieftains by a score of 31-15 in a court thriller here. Royce McDougal and “Pee Wee” Bonham were the outstanding players offensively', with Charles Vertrces outstanding on the defensive. FEBRUARY 22 — The Sapulpa Chieftains journeyed to Tulsa, where they were defeated by the Central Braves 47-17. Max Hickey turned the scoring honors his way by making three field goals. Again Charles Vertrecs was outstanding on the defensive. FEBRUARY 25—The Bristow Purple Pirates defeated the Chieftains in another hard fought game by a score of 18-14. The outstanding play'er of the evening was Max Hickey with 9 points, while Bill Bonham followed closely with a total of 5 points. FEBRUARY 29 — In the last game of the season the Chieftains made a hard atempt to win their last basketball game of the season but were unable to compete with the Roughers’ high scoring. Dale Sutterfield. Buddie Livingston and Robert Reed held the highest scoring honors. The scoring at the end of the game was 35-18, in favor of the Roughers. This ended the basketball season for the Chieftains.

Page Eighty-two Democracy’s Goals ★★★★★★★ Democracy, which was not anything like we know it today, was probably first practiced in Athens, Greece. All of the people in Athens assembled in one place and elected their leader—or president. The government of Athens has often been called a pure democracy. No country, however, has ever tried democracy on such a large scale as America. America has been the crucial testing ground for democracy. America has proven that democracy can work on a large national scale. Lincoln defined democracy as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Let us compare our present system of government with his definition. First, is our government a government of the people? To run for president a man must be 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and must have resided 14 years within the United States. Are these reouirements so strict as to exclude all but a chosen few? And remember, these are the requirements of the highest uosition in our system of government. Requirements for other offices are more lax than these. Second, is our government a government by the people? The people, in most cases are responsible for the actions of their leaders. These leaders know that they are directly responsible to the people, and if the people become dissatisfied with their leader—they will get a new one. Our forthcoming election might be just such a case. Lastly, is our government a government for the people? This question needs no discussion. Any government which is responsible to the people will naturally be a government for the people. Almost all successful governments conform to Lincoln’s definition of democracy to some degree. One of the most notable examples of this is the government of Great Britain. The people of Great Britain are allowed to elect the members of the House of Commons, and the Prime Minister can be called at any time for questioning by this house. This house is directly responsible to the people; there- fore, the Prime Minister is indirectly responsible to the people. Britain, then, has a government by the people and for the people, and a iarge part of her government is made up of the people. Much has been said of the total dictatorship of Russia, but did you know that Russia has a congress? There is no doubt that this congress bears litle resemblance to ours, but they do have a few things in common. The people are represented by delegates as in our congress, but the distribution of these delegates is somewhat distorted. Naturally, this congress is definitely communistic, but it does show even a dictator’s respect for the people. One fact stands out in our review of the different types of government. That fact is, that regardless of the form of government of a country, its leader must have the support of at least some of the people, or in other words, some peoole to lead. For after all: “What is a king without a country?” In the early part of this war, many Americans professed that they did not believe the German people wanted war. If they did not, then who gave Hitler his power? Was Hitler so powerful fifteen years ago that the German people could resist him? No! The German people did support Hitler because of the things he promised them. From these facts we can conclude one thing. This is the people’s war. The last World War was the people’s war, but the people did not make use of their opportunity. If this is a war between peoples, the people must decide what sort of a peace they want after the war. If the people definitely have in mind what they want embodied in this peace, our delegates to the peace conference will know exactly what we as a people want. Knowing this, they can proceed with a greater feeling of security and on a much firmer footing than otherwise. However, if the people are to dictate the terms of peace, they must be better informed. This in- Page Eighty-three formation should come from a reliable and, as nearly as possible, a first hand source—namely, our government. With this information in mind the public would be prepared to take part in any discussions of peace. We, as Americans, might well use our national history as a background for our peace problems. When America was yet but thirteen struggling states our forefathers were facing about the same problems we are today. Each of the states wanted its sovereignty, and yet each wanted a central power to hold them together. What finally evolved was a compromise. The citizens of each state agred to give up certain freedoms and powers for the good of the whole union. As our forefathers sacrificed for a union of the states, we, as present day citizens of America, will have to sacrifice to unite the nations. It is time that we stop blaming wars on armament makers and a hundred other scapegoats. These are nothing but an evidence of the innate tendency of human beings to be free of all blame. None of these scapegoats could have obtained their ends but for the poor relationship between the peoples of the world. We might as well blame ourselves for this mess we are in, for without our support and, yes, even our guidance, our diplomats can make nothing more than a mockery of peace. The last World War furnishes a most notable example of this. Our nation as a whole will have to sacrifice to obtain unity, but the people will be called on to make most of the sacrifices. We might well pause here and try to determine just what we mean when we use such phrases as “the people” or “the common people.” If you will look at the different classes of people in America you will see that none of them could succeed without the help of others. The common people, then, are really all of the people. We all owe a common debt to this country, and we would all suffer some common losses if this country were taken. Even the Negro who has been denied so many privileges would lose not a little. Should Germany have conquered all of Europe, including Russia, the British empire, and all of South America, she could, Page Eighty-four from her sheer preponderance, have dictated terms to America. It would have been almost as if Germany actually occupied America. All Americans are agreed that no such conditions must ever come about, and yet, these are almost identically the conditions under which we placed Germany after the last war. The Versailles Treaty placed certain restrictions on Germany. One of these was that she was not to increase her export trade which was her only source of income. Another was that she was to pay reparations to the Allies for reconstruction of the war-torn countries. She was, however, to pay only in gold. These three conditions made it impossible for Germany to comply and still exist as a nation. Does this explain why Germany complained so of her plight? Does this explain why she failed to comply with the conditions of the Versailles Treaty? Does this explain why the German people finally resorted to treachery under the leadership of a man like Hitler? It is small wonder that the German people conceived the idea that the only way to secure justice for themselves was to have the power to dictate their terms to us. If we are to prevent a repetition of these conditions after this war, we must ask Germany to join us in a government which insures equal rights for both conqueror and conquered. Many of you would ask at this time: Well, what about Russia? Will she give up her communistic ways for a democratic government? My answer is this. No, I do not think she will—at least, not in the immediate future. The Russian people are not highly educated enough yet to be able to govern themselves; but aside from that, when I said a common government, I did not mean a government which would control all of the powers of the nations. I only meant a government which would recognize certain inalienable rights of all the peoples of the world, and that any infringement of these rights by any party would be met with the armed resistance of a majority of the nations. To make sure that this government is not violated, a majority of the nations should pledge that an attack or violation of this government against one of them will be consid- ered an attack against all of them. I believe that as soon as the uneducated peoples of the world are educated to understand a democracy that they will care for no other form of government. For with education comes the desire for complete freedom. A uniting of a majority of the nations of the world could possibly be started from our own United Nations. This large body would form a nucleus around which we could add the entire world. Thus, we have a large majority of nations with many differences, but united in the cause of preventing wars and in obtaining the natural rights of the peoples of the world. Is it beyond the reach of human understanding to imagine that another Hitler would think more than twice before he resorted to arms? And, indeed, there would be little chance of another Hitler under such a government. I do not say this plan is a perfect one, but if this or any other plan is to succeed, it must first be discussed by the people and the time for the discussion is now— not after the war. That will be too late. If the free peoples do not discuss our postwar problems, we will see a tragic repetition of the conditions which existed after 1918. We must not only win this war but we must win the peace. If we fail in this task, we will have plagued future generations with dictators, spies, Quislings, national debts, taxes, and wars. If we succeed, this generation will be remembered throughout the history of the world. This, then, is democracy’s immediate goal: to secure for all peoples the right of discussion on any matters concerning this war or the peace to follow. Democracy’s ultimate goal is to obtain the just rights of every human being on this earth. —Joe Bill Petteway Goals of Democracy Democracy is one small word—but it stands for a way of life for which man has fought and died, since prehistoric times. It has been the one hope of the enslaved peoples throughout the centuries. But what is the meaning of this word, this word which has meant more than life itself to mankind? Upon referring to our dictionary, we find that a democracy is a government in which the supreme power is retained by the people. As Abraham Lincoln defined it, “A government of the people, by the people and for the people.” These are but cold facts—but behind them lie the stories of our gallant dead at Concord —at Valley Forge—at the battle of the Argonne and more recently, the battle of Bataan. These men have left us a great heritage. We must preserve this heritage and pass it on to our future generations as our forebears passed it on to us. To do this, we must first be victorious in this world-engaging conflict. We must make sure that such atrocities as Lidice— as the extermination of seven million European Jews, and, one of the most tragic, the fate of our men who were captured on Bataan, will never happen again. It is said, that the soldiers on Bataan would have fought on, even though weak from malaria, with supplies of food and medicine exhausted, if they had known their terrible destiny at the hands of the Japanese. Our civilized minds cannot conceive of such horrible and dastardly acts—but nevertheless, they have occurred. These are but a few of many of such acts that have taken placed in the last few years. These deeds have branded this war, as one of the greatest ordeals our way of life—our democracy, has had to endure. When this war is won, and the peace envoys sit down at the peace conference— we must put away our hatreds, and strive to make a just and a lasting peace. We must avoid the mistakes of the Treaty of Versailles, for we have seen its disastrous consequences. We can no longer be isolationists for we see now that the affairs of the outside world have a direct bearing on our way of life. We must cooperate wisely and honestly with our fellow nations to remove the causes of war. We must substitute fair, forthright dealings between peoples and nations; respect, love, and understanding for jealousies Page Eighty-five and hatreds. We must assure the conquered and enslaved peoples the rights of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom from fear, and, one of the most important, I believe, the right of independent enterprise. We, who live in the United States, have enjoyed these rights since the days of the first ten amendments, the Bill of Rights, was added to our constitution, and have been, up until this present war, inclined to take them for granted. This present conflict, has made us realize, individually and as a nation that we must be ever alert, ever vigilant to guard these rights against encroachment both within and without our nation. To do this, many of our fellow countrymen believe that we should organize after the war is won, some type of an international organization like the League of Nations, but with the power to enforce its bidding . Others propose a United States of Europe be formed. It does not matter which of these plans or one entirely different—is put into effect. It maters only that the plan bears out the principles of the equality of men and the rights of men. When this chaotic war is over, and peace is established on earth and we go back to our normal lives, we will find that we have many urgent problems to be solved in the United States. When our gallant men, who have composed our armed forces are released from their duties and go back to their civilian occupations, we must provide some type of insurance that they will not have to face the difficulties faced by our men in 1918. Also, our Congress is working now on a bill providing mustering-out pay to our armed forces which will help combat these problems. The American Legion has played an important part in combating this problem both in 1918 and at the present time. The Legion assisted the veterans of the last war with financial and medical aid. They created a fund for the relief of the widows of the men of the armed forces. In the last twenty-five years they have aided the crippled and wounded soldiers in the veterans hospitals throughout the nation. Their annual poppy day sales of poppies made by these Page Eighty-six men has been of great financial assistance both to the men and to their families. Throughout the years, the Legion has contributed to the support of hospitals and sanitariums throughout the country through their purchases of ambulances, iron lungs and other equipment ol which these institutions were in need. With all of these duties, our American Legion has found time to take on the responsibilities imparted to it by this war. Once again they are aiding veterans and widows in their application of claims. They have requested the federal government to shorten the period of waiting before the claims are settled. The Legion has taken into its ranks the veterans of this war and will do so when peace is declared. With their ranks composed of both the veterans of World War I and World War II, the Legion, though not a political organization, will probably play an outstanding part in making the peace. We must also take into consideration our growing problem of inflation, which, if not checked by taxes and enforced savings, will lead certainly to a deflation period which may be more tragic than the period of years from 1928 through 1933. In order to improve the lives of its citizens, Great Britain has passed the Beveridge Plan—a form of social security or life insurance which goes into effect at birth and does not cease until death. Many of our prominent citizens are in favor of putting a similar system in effect in the United States as they believe it has more merits than our present system which goes into effect only upon application. These are but a few of our goals of democracy, but I believe that they show the trend of thought of our countrymen. After the war—with the help of independent enterprise, which has been an outstanding factor in making our country the great nation it is—America will rise to new and greater heights as a nation of the world. Our course of action at the present time can easily be seen. We must buy War Bonds and Stamps and do everything in our power to speed the day when these, our goals of democracy, our dreams of today, become the realities of tomorrow. —Donald Sheffel Sapulpa High School ★ Remembers the Men anti Women in the Armed Forces Buying War Bonds Major Activity With Others As Secondary By R. Elizabeth Reynolds Life goes on in Sapulpa high school in the usual reading’, ritin’, ’rithmetic and romancin’ way, except that the boys are wondering just which branch of the service they will get into a few months hence, the girls are looking at the uniforms of the various feminine branches of the armed services, with ideas about joining and the entire student body has gone all out for furthering the war effort. All high school war service activities are coordinated under the supervision of the war service board, composed of students and teachers, with Victor Heusel as chairman of the group and the following persons as members: Don Smith, Joan McKnight, Rosetta Lee, Janice Davis, Beryl Chapman, Doyle Winn, Frances Moore, Carol Snider, David Bailey, Nina Brown, Buddie Livingston, Carol Cotton, Marian Rush, Varcell Herrin, Mrs. B. E. Bateman, Mrs. Opal Hellewell, Miss Ethel Kelly, Miss Mary Newman, Miss Correne White, Miss Elizabeth Reynolds, Gordon C. Davis, Aubrey Castles and Carl A. Ransbarger. The Student Council, under the supervision of M rs. Bateman and with Edmond Cotton, president ; Harry Greenberg, vice-president; and Carol Cotton, secretary-treasurer, has taken over the sale of war stamps and bonds. At a booth in the front hall stamps are sold every day at noon and numerous contests have stimulated the sale of bonds through the high school. A contest between the upper and lower class-men, called “The Road to Victory,” in which each group was given a destination, Tokyo or Berlin, to be reached by purchasing a certain amount of bonds, was so successful that the contest was extended to include the return trip which indicated the purchase of the same amount of bonds as was made for the trip to Tokyo or Berlin. The lower classmen won the contest with a total of $2,485.50 invested in war bonds and stamps, while the upper classmen had a total of $1,852.05. Another method of interesting students and their friends in buying bonds, has created considerable interest. This is the “Outfit a Person in the Armed Forces” project. Every time $150 in stamps and bonds is purchased, the name of some former student or teacher of the high school is drawn from the fishbowl in assembly by a person in the armed forces, in case there is one in the audience, and there usually is. Then a silhouette representing the branch of the service in which the person is serving, with his or her name under it, is placed in the display case in the front hall. As many as 18 names have been drawn in one assembly. If a person cares to honor someone in the service he or she may purchase the required amount of bonds and have a silhouete placed in the display case. So far, silhouettes bear the names of Robert I. Allyn, Webster Eugene Asher, Marvin Avra, Jesse M. Barnes, Bill Bateman, Bill Bennett, N. R. Bennett, Burdett R. Berton, Edward Black, IRoss Blaine, H. P. Bowles, Leroy R. Brim, William C. Brown, Richard Paul Bristow, Arthur J. Brumley, Leonard Cantrell, William N. P. Cazzell, A. L. Chenoweth, Thayles Cornwell, William R.

During the fourth war loan drive the bond queen contest was conducted and Vanessa Ponder was elected bond queen. By Washington’s birthday $10,797.30 had been invested in war bonds and stamps through the efforts of the Student Council. To honor graduates of Sapulpa high school further, an honor roll in a beautiful case with a hand carved wooden frame has been placed in the front hall. Considerable effort is made to keep the list of graduates now serving their country up to date. During the year, students have been most generous in contributing to the drives connected with the war effort and national drives making for better living. The school now flies the Red Cross flag, for every student in the high school joined the Junior Red Cross. There was a contribution of $56.02. To the “March of Dimes” campaign, to aid in the fight against infantile paralysis, they contributed $29.74 and they gladly contributed enough money to send each former student of the school now serving in the armed forces a Christmas card. Page Eighty-seven Not only money hut also good hard work has been contributed by many students to some of the drives. Girl members of the Junior Red Cross, under the direction of Miss Mary Newman and Miss Ethel Kelly, have made afghans, house slippers, bed jackets, game bags and layettes for the Red Cross. Twenty-two boys, under the direction of Aubrey Castles, vocational agriculture teacher, participated in the volunteer labor movement and worked on farms during their spare time in the fall. For doing this, they were given awards by the United States Crop corps. Students in the industrial arts classes, under the direction of Gordon C. Davis, have made many games such as checkers, chinker-check and ring games to lie used by the Red Cross in hospitals for persons in the armed forces. Copies of the Smoke Signal, the weekly publication of the high school, with Wanda Morris, editor-in-chief ; Robert Edens, assistant editor; Betty Lou Davis, feature editor; Buddie Livingston, sports editor; Dorothy Gish, advertising editor; Bill Grigsby, business manager; Paul Ray Andrew, mailing clerk, and Miss Elizabeth Reynolds, sponsor, are sent free to former students now in the service. In all, 173 copies of each issue are mailed, 73 overseas and 100 to persons in camps in the United States. Many other things of a patriotic nature have been done by students and teachers. The assemblies have stressed patriotism; students and teachers have helped with the rationing program; the band and choir have taken part in numerous civic programs and parades and each student has been made conscious of the fact that he, as an individual, can help bring the war to a victorious close for his country. Although the football team did not have too successful a season, the boys showed improvement as time went on and they never lost their admirable spirit to fight hard in spite of the odds. Nor did they lose the support of the townspeople. Coach B. Bomgardner, who came to Sapulpa this year from Nowata, where he had a winning team, shows promise of having a good football team next year. The Chieftains did win the one game of the year they wanted most to win, the Bristow game. Now the trophy is safely in the hands of Sapulpa High. It was a proud day for R. D. Davis, now with the marines in San Diego, when he accepted the trophy while Buddie Livingston, who played with the Bristow team last year, but with the Sapulpa team this year, looked on to sec that the job was well done. R. D. also made an all-state team. Scores for the year were: Stillwater 8, Sapulpa 0; Muskogee 6, Sapulpa 0; Sand Spring 12, Sapulpa 0; Tulsa Webster 6, Sapulpa 0; Henryctta 26, Sapulpa 6; Tulsa Central 19, Sapulpa 0; Tulsa Will Rogers 20, Sapulpa 7; Sapulpa 7, Bristow 0; Bartlesville 12, Sapulpa 0; Okmulgee 13, Sapulpa 7. The basketball season has not been a winning one cither; but, again, the boys arc showing Page Highty-eight improvement and continue to exhibit the old fight spirit. Again, Sapulpa was successful in defeating Bristow. Scores for the basketball games arc Bartlesville 27, Sapulpa 12; Tulsa Webster 32, Sapulpa 16; Tulsa Rogers 41, Sapulpa 16; Tulsa Central 30, Sapulpa 17; Okmulgee 27, Sapulpa 12; Bartlesville 56, Sapulpa 16; Okmulgee 36, Sapulpa 29; Tulsa Rogers 51, Sapulpa 18; Sapulpa 17, Bristow 12; Tulsa Webster 41, Sapulpa 16; Muskogee 33, Sapulpa 13 and Tulsa Central 37, Sapulpa 17. Games remain to be played with Bristow and Muskogee. Although boxing is not sponsored by the high school, a number of high school boys participate in a program sponsored by an organization downtown. When the Northeast Golden Gloves tournament was held in Tulsa, Johnny Babb. John Miles, Preston Copeland. Paul Andrew, Nelson Escue, Bobby Clark and Kenneth Livingston entered. All of the boys made good showings and the pictures of several of them were in the Tulsa World. Paul Andrew also helps coach the Sapulpa team. Assemblies continue to hold the interest of the student body and visitors. Armistice day was a banner day in assembly annals as well as in football annals. On that day a patriotic pageant called “Our Native Land Or the American Way,” written and directed by Mrs. Fred Manning, was given. Approximately 70 students took part in the program. At another assembly, a one-act play, written by two students, Daphne Henderson and Mildred Berton, was presented, much to the amusement of the student body. The plav, “Hear Ye! Hear Ye!” proved that students should support the sports program of the school. All assemblies are planned by the auditorium board, composed of Daphne Henderson, Anita Blodgett, Amon Young, Royce McDougal, Mary June McMahan, James Cobbs, Ruth Crow, Beryl Chapman, Mildred Berton, Billy Stone, Theresa Steichcn, Stanton Adams, Peggy Lawson, Bobby McGuire, Mrs. Elmer Carter, chairman, Miss Mary Newman, Mrs. Mary Fcgan, Miss Elaine Barbee, Mrs. Glenwood Miller, director of auditorium work, Mrs. Mildred Thomson, Lane Dougherty, Gordon C. Davis, Carl A. Ransbarger and Victor Heusel. During the first semester, Mrs. Fred Manning was director of auditorium w'ork. When she resigned, Mrs. Miller, who had returned to Sapulpa high school after having been connected with a school in Arkansas for a year, was given the position. Much credit for good assemblies goes to the stagecraft boys: Varcell Herrin, Robert Rush, James Cobbs, Raymond Cooper, Allan Miller and Roy Lee Ament. With Victor Heusel as their director, they have made beautiful stage settings. Especially attractive was the outdoor Dutch scene for the Thanksgiving assembly. This year the music department is under the supervision of Miss Elaine Barbe, who came from Yale, and has charge of the vocal music, and M. B. Means, from Dewey, who has charge of instrumental music. Both of them teach a class in music theory. The music department has been most generous in assisting in school and civic entertainments and projects. Many is the time students and their directors have participated in parades, have played at football and basketball games and have taken part on programs. Both divisions of the department have given outstanding assembly programs. For the Christmas assembly, the a cappclla choir presented Wilson’s “On Wings of Angel Song” and in January the band gave a most enjoyable program. The Yearbook, published under the direction of Gordon C. Davis, continues to be the big publication of the high school. Frances Moore is editor-in-chief; Janice Davis, associate editor; Dewey Phipps, business manager, and Mary Moody, secretary. Being bond queen, the outstanding boy or girl or just getting a snapshot of one’s self in the Sapulpan is still an event. Looking toward the time when the war will be over and men and women now in the armed forces will be wanting to make a living in or around Sapulpa, the Chamber of Commerce prevailed upon the school board to add vocational agriculture to the curriculum. Through their efforts a full time agriculture teacher, Aubrey Castles, from Broken Arrow, has been added to the faculty. Castles has had considerable success in all of his projects this year. The first time his poultry judging team contested with other teams, which was at the Oklahoma state fair in Oklahoma City on September 29, 1943, it won first place. At the state fair in Muskogee the same judging team, made up of Amon Young, Donald Dickens and Tom Evans again placed first and won a silver cup. At another poultry show in Oklahoma City, where poultry from 36 states was exhibited and 19 judging teams were entered, the team from Sapulpa placed third. In single judging contests Castles’ students have won over $100. Single judges are, besides members of the team: Varccll Herrin, Don Ricderer, George Bingham, Billy Hill and John Mobley. Twelve members of the Future Farmers of America, the club to which all of the agriculture students belong, are feeding 25 purebred barrows to be shown at the Creek county fat hog show, which will be held in March. Castles is supervising the feeding of the animals. Boys who will exhibit hogs are: Billy Robbins, Donald Dickens, Roy Lee Ament, L. Ray Crawford, Milton Jones, Tom Evans, George Bingham, George Beck, Norman Land, Donald Heath and Bob Henry Castles also teaches a class in farm machinery repair, which meets at night in the high school building. Another program which prepares students for making a living, is the Diversified Occupations program, a phase of vocational education, under the direction of Victor Heusel. The purpose of this program is to give boys and girls training under actual working conditions. Students enrolled in this project, attend school half a day and are employed in training stations the other half of the day. The time they spend in the training stations is under the supervision not only of their employers, but also of the school. They are given remuneration for their services by their employers and credit toward graduation from high school by the school. About 35 students have participated in the project during the year. Some of them work as many as eight hours a day. Their efforts have done much in Sapulpa toward easing the labor problem and thus have contributed materially to the war effort. The personnel of the teaching force of Sapulpa high, like the personnel of any other organization these days, has changed considerably lately. In the fall, J. B. Moore, dean of boys, moved to California, and Lane Dougherty, former science teacher, returned from working in Tulsa to take over the position of dean of boys and teacher of history. Miss Vera Robbins, who was a member of the faculty for a semester, joined the WAVES and A. M. Thomas, formerly of Bristow, took over her classes. When Mrs. Manning resigned, Mrs. Mildred Thomson, who had been here for a few weeks in the fall, returned to become a member of the English department; Mrs. Miller was made director of auditorium work, as has been stated before and Mrs. Carter took over the Latin classes Mrs. Manning had been teaching. Mrs. Rebecca Oakes, of Norman, is also a new member of the English department. Mrs. Erma Morris continues with her duties as registrar. H. A. Clark and W. L. Wells are still taking good care of the building. Almost daily another boy of Sapulpa high joins the ranks of Uncle Sam’s enlisted men. Recent additions from the senior class arc: H. P. Bowles, jr., Richard D. Davis, Donald Dickens, Vaughn Fairbanks, John E. Holtzclaw, Cambron Moore, Leabron Walker and Henry Cole. This year almost every day is old home day, for almost every day students and teachers are visited by boys from the armed forces home on furlough or leave. And everyone is happy to greet these returning people. Many a class has been made more interesting by the visit of a service man. The welcome mat is always out and persons from the armed forces are especially welcome at Sapulpa high. Page Eighty-nine A FLOWER AND A PRAYER I was walking through the meadow When I found a flower so small; It looked so sweet and beautiful It seemed to call to all. I stood and gazed for so long a time It seemed as though 1 could see This flower’s heart, so beautiful, So pure, so clean, and free. 1'his flower lives in this same World of sin as you and I, It cannot do sin or wrong But yet, it has to die. I breathed a prayer as I stood Watching this flower so sweet. “God, make my life as clean and pure As this flower which grows at my feet.” By Violet Gooch SPRING Now the Winter’s doomed, Now the flowers are bloomed.
