AMERICA NEEDS YOUR HELP AND OURS TOO. ARE YOU GIVING A PART OF YOUR LIFE FOR THE ONES WHO ARE GIVING ALL FOR YOU? 1945 Sapulpan SyV Sapulpa High School am a TABLE OE ADMINISTRA TMOJV CLASSES ATHLETICS ORGAN TEA TIONS ACTIVITIES FOREWORD IN THIS VOLUME, THE SENIORS' FAREWELL WORD TO ALMA MATER, WE HAVE ENDEAVORED TO SHOW LIFE IN S.H.S. FROM DAY TO DAY THROUGH THIS EVENTFUL YEAR WE REALIZE AS MUCH AS YOU, PERHAPS, THAT THERE ARE MISTAKES. WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST. BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE, WE REQUEST THAT YOU ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION, “COULD I HAVE DONE BETTER WERE I ON THE STAFF? WE ASK THAT YOU BEAR WITH US THROUGH OUR BLUNDERS, AND ENJOY WITH US OUR TRIUMPHS, SHOULD PERCHANCE, THERE BE ANY. DEDICATION War will yet cease from the whole earth, for God himself has said it shall. As infidels we might doubt this, but as Christians we cannot. If God has taught anything in the Bible, he has taught peace; if he has promised anything there, he has promised peace, ultimate peace, to the whole world; and unless the night of a Godless skepticism should settle on our souls, we must believe on, and hope on, and work on, until the nations, from pole to pole, shall beat their swords into plowshares, their spears into pruning hooks, and learn war no more. We see, or think we see, the dawn of that coming day! We see it in the new and better spirit of the age! We see it in the press, the pulpit, and the school. We see it in every enterprise of Christian benevolence and reform! We see it in all the good influences of the age, now at work over the whole earth! Yes, there is a spirit abroad that can never rest until the war-demon is hunted from the habitations of men—the spirit that is now pushing its enterprises and improvements in every direction; the spirit that is laying every power of nature, as well as the utmost resources of human ingenuity, under the largest contributions possible for the general welfare of mankind; the spirit that hunts out from our cities' darkest alleys the outcasts of poverty and crime, for relief and reform,—nay, goes down into the barred and bolted dungeons of penal vengeance and brings up its callow, haggard victims into the sunlight of a love that pities even while it smites; the spirit that is, at length, weaving the sympathies and interests of our whole race into the web of one vast fraternity, and stamping upon it, or writing over it, in characters bright as sunbeams, these simple yet glorious truths! The Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man! To this spirit of Peace on earth, good will toward men we unreservedly dedicate our 1945 Sapulpan. With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right; as God gives us power to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the brunt of the battle, and for his widow, and for his orphan; to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations. PEACE FOR THE FUTURE Youth is paying and will continue to pay for this war to its end. Upon youth rests the added responsibility of the future peace. Those who started this war did not ask if youth would fight it; and those who write the peace will not consult youth; yet youth will be expected to know its terms and uphold it. Upon youth's shoulders rests the destiny of the world of today and tomorrow. Youth will bear the loss, if the new peace fails, and youth the gain—freedom, happiness, prosperity—if that peace is widely dictated and vigilantly guarded—youth and the generations of the future.

Terry BO A HD OF EDUCATION Mr. C. H. Hartman r- Miss Maxine DeLoe Secretary to Superintendent Clerk of Board of Education Eleven May I take this means of thanking you for your generous cooperation and support during this school term. It has been a genuine pleasure to work with you and I feel that you may well be proud of your record of achievement. You have been above every quota assigned to you in the war effort and I feel that your scholarship has been above average. Good luck to you all and more especially to all who have answered the call to the service. I shall always be glad to learn of your success. Sincerely yours, JAMES L. PRINCE Twelve Belief in the dignity of man constituted the incentive which gave our forefathers the ambition to create, to utilize, and strengthen the democratic way of life. That belief has never changed. Imbued with it, men like Jefferson became the virtual architects of our form of government. Only a democracy recognizes the fact that men should speak freely, not without fear of contradiction, but without fear of punishment; that they should worship according to their conscience; and that they should be free to earn their livelihood as their native intelligence and ambitions permit. Our way of life cannot exist, however, unless people are educated to appreciate and enjoy these freedoms. It naturally follows that we should understand them and know how to employ them. To teach each generation these beliefs is a fundamental concern of our educational system. CARL A. RANSBARGER Thirteen Mr. C. S. Anderson A. B.

And, 1 tell you, it was a miracle. Because I remember when broomsticks were our rifles and we threw tin can grenades . . . and propped up stove pipes and painted signs that said, “This is an eight-inch gun” . . . ‘T his is a howitzer” . . • and we threw tarps over trucks and made out they were tanks. And, though we laughed about it and kidded about it, we were ashamed. And then they hit us. . . . And America went to work and performed a miracle. I know because I was at Kesscrine when tanks and guns, American-made, rolled them back and broke their backs in the passes, and we and the British smashed their Mark I V’s and their 88’s under the weight of our attack, and drove them out and pinned them like rats between Cap Bon and the sea. And I was in the first wave in Sicily, and when we cracked the iron ring at Anzio and killed the hard spirit of their Elite Corps with more bombs and shells than they had ever dreamed of before. And I was with them on invasion day. It was a miracle. And now, seeing here the endless miles of tanks, the long railroad trains of guns, the flying fields carved out of every corner to hold the overflow of planes, I know my country has found again the strength that made us great . . . has found again in this mighty power to destroy, the power to create. And I saw how this miracle, this mighty power, this energy used now for war, can, after victory, create a new and finer life than we have ever known before. . . . New cities, new farms, new homes, new industries, new opportunities for me, and every man, to plan and work and grow ... to build a new and greater America. . . . The way we want it to be. . . . The way it’s got to be!

Mr. Prince, we will soon have to star you on another assembly. 5th—You’ve all heard the old saying, “There’s no place like home!” Our Forty basketball boys proved this when we won our first home basketball game with Cushing, 28-24. Jack Weaver was the high point man. Well, overrun, anyway. No kiddin’, a very talented group of students presented a very good assembly this morning. 9th—Our basketball team is really very clever, don’t you think? . . . They did a swell job of entertaining us at assembly and also at the basketball game, although we didn’t have the leading score. Okmulgee 18, Sapulpa 16. 12th—The Hi-Y boys again went through the usual excitement of preparing for the Hi-Y Sweetheart Banquet. It was well worth their trouble, though, because the banquet was a big success. 15th—Don’t be so shocked! The seniors aren’t really wild, they just received their senior rings they have been, waiting for so long. You can’t blame them for flashing their hands so vividly— the rings are something to make them proud. 16th—The great Chieftain team was again defeated by the Tulsa Central Braves, 37-22, in the basketball game. Chins up, boys, we’re not through yet. 19th—Will Rogers 29, Sapulpa 11. A large crowd has been supporting the Chiefs. Let’s not let them down. 23rd—A senior meeting was held to elect the D. A. R. girl for the class of 1945. Miss Suma Ann Bowles is the worthy winner. Congratulations, Suma. The basketball team journeyed to Bristow to again be defeated, 31-15. 26th—Mr. Prince again presented us with a very interesting speech at the assembly. “Know Yourselves’’ was the title, and—can you imagine?— no “jokes.” 30th—Tulsa Central 44, Sapulpa 16. We seem to be improving “backwards.” At least we’re improving. 12th—Today Betty Lou Davis and Clara and Sara Mauch were announced as Valedictorian and Salutatorians, respectively. 13th—Webster 23, Sapulpa 21. Thanks for the vitamins, but next time we’ll take just a little more. 14th—Colonel Jay Dykhouse gave an interesting talk on assembly. Anyone would know what his favorite hobby is—jokes and more jokes. He really had a wonderful way of putting his lesson over though, and it was very interesting to all. 16th—-We all enjoyed a very good program given by the Freshman class. 1 see they aren’t so green now. 19th—'Flic Oklahoma City University choir presented a very, very good assembly. We were very fortunate in being able to hear this program. 22nd—Today is Senior Skip day????? Yes, the seniors were very happily skipping around the halls. 23 rd—A special assembly was held for the crowning of the 1945 Bond and Stamp Queen, Miss Ruth Crow, It was very lovely, very lovely indeed. 26th—Well, can you believe ill? Did you ever sec po much snow in all your life? This Oklahoma weather is about as changeable as some of the Oklahoma girls! 28th—If you arc wondering why so many of the students are limping down the halls, I believe a sleigh ride was enjoyed (?) by the entire school. They must have forgotten they wouldn’t feel so frisky the following day! MONTH OF MARCH MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2nd—Our basketball game was very exciting, although the score was still very dull. Webster . 28, Sapulpa 18. 5th—A senior meeting was held to select the Outstanding Girl and Outstanding Boy for the Class of 1945. Beryl Chapman and Harry Greenberg were the lucky ones. Congratulations, kids! 6th—Tulsa Will Rogers 31, Sapulpa 17. Does anyone have some extra vitamins? 9th—Gee, our school is just overrun with talent! 1st—Bristow 37, Sapulpa 21. Yes, this is the last game of the season and we thought for a minute we were going to show those Bristow boys a thing or two. In fact we did, but not about basketball. 2nd—The sophomore play, “Let Me Grow Up,” was presented and, we must say, it was a big hit. Yes, it was a very clever play. 5th—Our halls seem a little more vacant all the time. It’s a pity some of our boys aren’t getting to finish school. 9th—The Science assembly was very interesting. What would the world of science do without us. Forty-one 13th—Watch your hats, ladies and gents! I’ve heard some pretty had rumors about Old Man March Wind! 16th—What would the world do without music? Our hand presented some of the beauty of music on the assembly this morning. 23rd—Gee, those juniors did swell on their annual junior play, “M’liss.” Kids, it was great! 26th—Dear old March came in like a gentle lamb and I can already hear the fierce growl of the lion, as it soon will be departing. 30th—The annual Easter assembly was presented today and it seems they get better every year. We should all be proud of our assemblies. MONTH OF APRIL 2nd—Umbrellas! Umbrellas! Yes, it looks as though wc all need the “Umbrella Man” at this time of year. Oh! These April showers! 6th—Another Hi-Y Father-Son Banquet was held and as usual they had loads of fun. 13th—We always look forward to the Booker 1 . Washington assembly. They certainly have a lot of talent in their school. 16th—Everyone has been struggling through another six weeks exams, and it looks as though wc need a cheering section. 24th—It seems good to see the students romping on the lawn after such bad weather. 27th—Boys, now you know! You can see what wonderful wives these girls will make. They made a very good impression in the F.H.O. assembly this morning. MONTH OF MAY 4th—The senior play was presented and wc must say that the actors did a very fine job. Keep it up, kids. Who knows, you too may some day be an Academy Award winner! 7th—Spring is surely in the air! Let’s all take our medicine and be very, very careful so as not to catch spring fever. I’ve heard it’s contagious! 11th—A beautiful music assembly was presented in acknowledgment of music week. A week is set aside every year in observance of music. 15th—The day has at last arrived when the seniors have smiling and proud faces that can come only when they receive their most welcome awards. They have waited long for them and have worked hard. 18th—Don’t they look swell! The caps and gowns were issued to all the seniors. The seniors were honored by the Junior-Senior Banquet given by the juniors. It was very lovely and will be an affair long to remember! 20th—Baccalaureate services were held at the Washington school and an inspiring address was given by---------------------—• Let’s all take heed, some very important points were stressed. 21st—Do the seniors look grownup now? Under all the makeup, I’d say “yes.” They put on their senior assembly and played young for maybe the last time. It was very cute. 24th—A few tears were seen sliding down the faces of the seniors as they received their diplomas at the commencement exercises. Under the tears were also seen proud faces, with the look that they had accomplished a great deal. 25th—Another school year closes and it will be the last day of high school for many of the students. As you go out into life, may you have the best that life can offer. —Ruth Evelyn Crow Forty-two Lending a helping hand “Campus Ology “S.H.S.

Can we have a ride? The second bell hasn’t rung yet Forty-eight CLASS PROPHECY OE 1945 How exciting! We, my husband, Bill Stone, and I, have an opportunity to go to Europe. I need so many things . . . my first thought is of clothing; so, I get my helicopter started and off I swish to Rector’s Dress Shop were Alice, herself, helps me to choose some dresses. Delma Kirkwood, Syble Davis, Wanda Sherman, Dorothy Linnet and Flora Bell Stroud model some of the latest 1955 styles for me, and jeepers !!! My next stop is the Deluxe 1 Iat Shop, the most fashionable in town. Jack Lunn is sitting by the window patiently waiting while Kathleen Teehee helps his wife select an appropriate hat. I see that Clara Jean Baxendale still has a passion for screwball hats. l ime for lunch — and here I am at Dinty Moore's 1'ood Salon. Across the beautifully decorated room is the Elderly Married Women’s Club: Venita Austin, Betty Crowder, Virginia Mabry, Shirley Nevin, Ann Shobert and Jeanne Cotton, having their regular monthly get-together. Beryl Chapman can really sing “The Crackerjack Blues,” and Vernon Shock isn’t doing such a bad job hitting those ivories, either. There’s Bill’s secretary, Betty Woodruff, gaily chatting with that eminent gentleman, Raymond Cooper. She really can pick ’em. On the way back to the hotel I turn on the radio in my helicopter to hear John Brock telling of the wonders of Berty’s Birdseye Bird Seed. Robert Dronberger is on after this elaborate commercial, and he sings one of his most popular songs, “Cowziet I lae,” while all the high school girls scream and swoon. I land my helicopter on the roof airport of the hotel where Anne Mae Ridenour pushes lhe button which sends my packages whizzing to my apartment. Later in the evening, with our close friends, Mr. and Mrs. James Cobbs (the Mrs. being the former Pat Atha), Bill and 1 go to the famed quips program, “Cruth or Tonsequences.” Betty Quinn, to her great amazement, finds herself riding a camel right down the middle of Park Avenue. I’ll bet Geraldine Courtney is practically swooning over her telephone conversation with the great movie actor, Kenneth Bristow. What a time we had last night . . . but enough of that. Everything is packed and on the ship. Here comes a taxiocopter, skidding to a stop a few feet from the gangplank. Who jumps out but the Mauch twins—late as usual. I Ioly Smokes I Look who’s here! It’s John Moody, editor of the famous Lonely Hearts Magazine with his pretty secretary and his bodyguard, Albert Scott. We go to the bar—for a soft drink, naturally—and here we see the soda-jerk, Helen Dose, whipping up a luscious Mourgalezistiose Delight which contains Vitamins L S M F T. Bettye Smith should know better than to eat one of these fattening concoctions, she being a dietitian and all. In the corner booth we see none other than today’s famous socialite Ruth Reynolds. She seems to have a well-baited hook set for Charles Terry. We hear a great commotion and pushing our way through the crowd we see Pat Dobson. She fell over-bored (as you probably are) and is being rescued by the heroic cabin boy, Gilbert Miller. We return to our cabin to dress for dinner. Upon answering a knock at the door, we are greeted by Merle Scott, a cabin boy, who presents us with a special invitation to dine with the Captain in the main ballroom. Bobby Baxter, the headwaiter, shows us to our table. We glance around and see Tommy Weathers of the F.B.I. taking advantage of the absence of the “little woman” (Marian Rusk) by flirting with the cigarette girl, Wanda Post. Mildred Berton and Wanda Morris are sitting at a ringside table with their Forty-nine husbands, both of whom are Admirals in the Navy. A very gorgeous lady just passed our table. It's Phyllis Brackett, and oh, what a dish! She is now editor of the society page of the New York Eaglet and seems to be mixing business with pleasure this evening. Jack Weaver, the Captain, has just risen to welcome his guests and announce the main attraction of the evening—the “1 lotsie Follies” with Jerry Zartaludes as director. First item on the program is the classy Trouper Duper Dancers. Incidentally, three of the dancers are Violet Daniel, Verla Harper, and Dorothy Young. The dancers soon mysteriously disappear behind a cloud of smoke and Harry Greenberg and his Not-So-Hotra Swingsters appear. Also with him is his unique quartet composed of Judy Grigsby, Helen Fos-burg, Ruth Crow and Charles Shobert. They call themselves “The Three Rights and a Wrong.” After three encores the quartet gives way to a comedian and acrobatic act by Wallace Brentlinger, Charles Vertrees, Bill Seyler, and Virginia Gant .. They certainly close the program with a bang. I spend the night rolling and tumbling, and the next morning 1 awake with a slight case of sea-sickness. I he ship’s doctor, Bill Pettit, is called and he arrives with his pretty nurse, Patti Phillips. Patti, the nurse, holds me down while he pours some Xyreosenitus down my throat and 1 began recuperating immediately. I feel much better now, so Bill and I go to the dining room for breakfast. We meet Suma Bowles and Bill Jones on deck and ask them to join us. Dona Burdick takes our order. June Fleming finds a wasp in her food and asks the waitress, Margaret Hobens, what it is. Margaret replies, “A Vitamin Bee!” Same old Margaret. Mr. and Mrs. Bodkins (Betty Coffey) seem to be having a knock-down-drag-out . . . and after only a year of married bliss. The waiter, Kenneth McDaniel, has just had an accident; he tripped over Ruth Carter’s foot and splashed soup all over Margaret Johnston, and she is very abashed about the whole situation. I.. Ray Crawford and my husband go to an important meeting after breakfast while Martha True, Nadine Bullock, Betty Mae Russell, and I try our luck at a game of shuffle board. 1 have an appointment at Joe Erwin’s Beauty Shop, so 1 step on the escalator and ZOOM—I’m here. Look at Dolores Adams and Minnie French working frantically on Carol Gaddy. She has a date with her one and only, 1 Ioward Randolph, at six. Beverly Jones, Wanda Kitterman, and Billy Campbell are under the hair dryer. Having thirty minutes to spare, I relax with the nerve-soothing novel, “The Blood Flowed Like Wine,” by Betty Davis. Ages later, Joe McReynolds is ready to set my hair. Betty Muchmore and I leave, after two hours of torture, to round up our husbands. Lola Dale tips us off to their whereabouts, and, sure enough, we find them in the boiler room. There is John Ausmus, Jim Daily, Paul Cobbs, David Bailey, L. Ray, and my husband all on their hands and knees. So that’s what that important meeting was! Donal Adams, Wendell Evanson, Marcella Crawford, and Waneita Cooper seem to have their regular post at the ship’s railing. The lookout, Robert McCormick, spots a life-raft containing quite a few survivors. Among these are three movie celebrities, Doloris Nichols, Arline Haught, and Margaret Smith; a world-renowned scientist, Patsy Weathers; and two foreign correspondents, Sammy Roach and Bob Wright. All from Sapulpa, too! Here we are at the movies. Joan Bennett is the usher. We sit down beside Joe Jones and Dorothy Sandeffer. ('They still aren’t hitched.) The picture now showing is “No Stoop, No Squat, No Squint,” produced by Catharine Hartman, directed by Catharine Hartman, and starring Catharine I Iartman. The boat has just docked, and having had a complete reunion with the senior class of 1945, we are off for a tour of Europe. So long! Who am I? Ask Bill Stone in 1955!

FOOTBALL Football practice was started September 1 with more boys reporting than last year. Don Phillips, a player of last year, broke his collar-bone the first day or so. Just a week before our first game one of our stars of last year broke his leg. This was Charles Vertrces. Nevertheless he came to the first game. He was brought out in an ambulance and carried onto the field on a stretcher. As a compensation for not being able to play this season, the team bought Vertrees a gold football and chain. Several of the boys also gave him gifts. Sapulpa 6—Stillwater 6 Before the game started, Charles Vertrees was brought onto the field and he received very hearty applause from the spectators. The Chieftains fought hard during the first quarter, and in the second quarter Scott smashed his way over the goal for the first tally of the game. He failed to convert. In the third quarter the Stillwater team, which outweighed the Chieftains, reached pay dirt but also failed to convert. During the last quarter both teams maneuvered for a position enabling them to try again for the goal. I he final whistle ended the game with a tie score of 6-6. Sapulpa 0—Henryetta 12 In the first quarter of the game both teams fought hard, but neither team was successful in scoring and the score at the half was 0-0. Then in the third quarter of the game the fast Henryetta team finally reached the goal, making the score 6-0. The Chieftains tried hard in the last quarter, but lost the ball and Henryetta again scored, leaving the official score at 12-0 in their favor. The outstanding players were Riedercr, Stone and Erwin. Sapulpa 8—Sand Springs 0 In the first quarter of the game the Sand Springs defense threatened the Chieftains, but the Chieftains took hold and in the second quarter Sapulpa scored a goal which was called back for an offsides penalty. In the next play Riddle threw a pass to Erwin for the real goal. This made the score at the half 6-0. During the last quarter the Sapulpa Chieftains made a safety, leaving the score at the end of the game, Sapulpa 8—Sand Springs 0. Sapulpa’s outstanding players were Scott, Riddle, Erwin, and Corgan. Riedercr displayed the best defensive playing seen this season. Si My-?seven Sapulpa 14—Webster 20 In this game the Chieftains played the best game they have played for some time. Webster was expected to win by at least three touchdowns. Webster scored in the first quarter and made the conversion to give them a score of 7. In the second quarter the Chieftains used a pass from Riddle to Erwin to score a touchdown. Sapulpa also converted making the score at the half a 7-7 tie. Next came two lucky breaks for Webster and the score jumped to 20-7 in their favor. The hard-fighting Chieftains scored in the last two minutes of the game. The final score was Sapulpa 14—‘Webster 20. Sapulpa 7—Bartlesville 7 'The Chieftains lost a hard-fought game to the Wildcats on first downs, although the score was 7-7. A new conference ruling gives a victory to the team having the most first downs when the score is tied. In the first half Bartlesville scored a goal after an 80-yard run. The score at the half was Bartlesville 7—Sapulpa 0. During the last half, the Chieftains scored and converted, making the score a 7-7 tic. Outstanding players for the Chieftains were Robbins, Scott, Briggs and Corgan. Riederer proved he is still king of the line and Wright with h:s educated foot kept Bartlesville decisively in the hole with his tremendous punts. Sapulpa 6—Central 27 The Braves scored on the Chieftains in the first part of the game with wide-sweeping runs and long passes. They tallied again in the second quarter, making the score at the half Central 13—Sapulpa 0. In the 1st half of the game Central, with several long passes and a few lucky “breaks,” ran the score up to 27-6 in their favor. This was the first team to heat Sapulpa by a very large margin. Sapulpa 6—Will Rogers 7 In the first three minutes of the game Sapulpa made a touchdown, but failed to convert. I wo minutes later Sapulpa had the ball on Will Rogers’ 20-yard line. The Will Rogers team took hold then and regained possession of the ball. In a short time they, too, had made a touchdown. Their kick was good and the score at the half was Rogers 7—Sapulpa 6. The rest of the game was nip and tuck with neither team scoring. Outstanding players for the Chieftains were, for the line: Corgan, Riederer, McFarlin, and Erwin, while in the backfield, it was Scott all the way. Sapulpa 14—Bristow 26 The Chieftains were defeated in their annual Armistice game with Bristow which was held in Bristow this year. After taking the opening kick-off, the Chieftains marched 55 yards for a touchdown. The kick for the conversion was good. Once again in this quarter the Chieftains scored after a sustained drive. They converted this point, also. In the second quarter the Pirates, with a tremendous wind at their backs, scored two touchdowns on passes. Bristow had the advantage of the wind also in the third quarter and scored two more touchdowns on passes. They failed to convert, making the final score Sapulpa 14—Bristow 26. Sapulpa 6—Muskogee 12 Although the Chifetains made several touchdown thrusts, they were unable to cash in on them, except for one, while Muskogee scored twice. In the first quarter, the Roughers scored one touchdown but the kick was no kood. The Chieftains also scored in this quarter and also failed to convert. The Roughers scored again in the second quarter leaving Sapulpa behind again. The half ended with the score 12-6 in Muskogee’s favor. During the last half,, the Chieftain’s tried desperately to score, however, luck wasn’t with them and they didn’t reach the goal line. The game ended with the Chieftains on the Roughers one-yard line. The score remained Muskogee 12— Sapulpa 6. Sapulpa 27—Okmulgee 0 The Chieftains scored almost at will to defeat the Okmulgee Bulldogs in our last game of the season. Sapulpa scored twice in the second quarter and converted both times. The score at the half was 14-0 in favor of Sapulpa. Starting the second half, the Chieftains again came out strong and scored on a pass from Riddle to Carroll. They scored again in the early part of the last quarter. From then on the Sapulpa substitutes took over and battled the Okmulgee team on fairly even terms for the remainder of the game. All the players were on their toes, fought hard, and played an excellent game. Football boys who made their last appearance on the gridiron for the Chieftains were: Joe Erwin, right end; Joe McReynolds, right end; Albert Scott, fullback; Bob Wright, tailback; Bill Stone, left tackle; Ted McDaniel, right tackle; Howard Randolph, left end; and L. Ray Crawford, fullback.

BASKETBALL I he basketball season opened with great enthusiasm among the players, students and townspeople. We had capacity crowds at all games played in our Washington gym. Our coach, Mr. Bomgardner, produced a very cagey team that was on the alert at all times. The team displayed good timing, splendid defensive and offensive playing, and above all, it displayed good sportsmanship. The team has lost Robert McCormick and Charlie Shobert to the navy; and there are three boys who are graduating this month. They are : Wendell Evanson, Jim Daily, and Jack Weaver. Although a large number will be missing from the team, we feel confident that Mr. Bomgardner will have a splendid team for next year’s basketball squad.

Dear God, I've a boy across the sea, A boy who means so much to me. He's one of many, just as his Dad Is one of many, to give up his lath To fight for freedom, for all mankind, To fight on the side we know is Thine, Many have died, as many more will. As the struggle increases in fury still. Be with them, we pray, dear God on high. Thy arm be about them. Thy spirit nigh, And grant that each one who lies so still. Is at peace with Thee, in accord with Thy will. And to those who are captured, dear Lord, be near, May our thoughts join Your spirit, our boys to cheer. Dear God, in heaven, please hear my prayer, For my only boy, a prisoner ‘‘over there. Comfort him, cheer him, and please keep him well, Till we come to the end of this awful “war-hell. And, dear Lord, if Thy will plans that it shall be, I selfishly ask, “Send my boy back to me.

A land of privileges, but with those privileges there must be certain responsibilities. 1'here is no nation on the earth which offers more opportunities than America. Our Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal . All citizens are personally obligated to prepare themselves to enjoy, to take advantage of and to contribute to the equality of man, and men’s divine right to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and to maintain authority over the powers of their government. Each person regardless o! race, nationality, creed or station in life possesses an individuality which is as essential to the working of democracy, as soil is indispensable to growing things. The soil determines the value of the crop. So does the degree of the unfoldment of the individuality of man control his own progress, prosperity and peace; hence the well-being of our land. Righteousness, kindness, courtesy, refinement, fair play and compassion enrich our individuality and help sustain the democratic process of our republic ideally. Our America demands that we seek happiness in the attainment of our individual possibilities. She teaches us self-government. She compels us to use our initiative, our creative facilities and our resourcefulness. Our America offers liberty and justice to all. In order to keep this liberty and justice we must learn how to vote and to vote intelligently. We must have unselfish citizens who elect competent people to office. We must consider voting a responsibility as well as a privilege. We must not let our country down by ignorance, indifference or neglect of this duty. America creates in us the responsibilities for the rights and interests of our fellow men. We must safeguard especially in time of war that superhuman document, the American Constitution. Our Constitution has been properly called the “blueprint for prosperity.” We have maintained it continually for more than 150 years. The Constitution was written for the post-war America of 1787. Our post-war period planning for World War II must fit into this same Constitution. The Constitution enshrined Liberty as the keystone of American progress. Our Constitution protects patents, thus protecting our great inventors. It also protects property, stocks and bonds and because it has done so we have thrifty investors who support our great inventors. Our Constitution guarantees trial by jury. It placed the citizen for the first time in the world’s history on equal terms with the state itself. Our forefathers studied the Constitution and did not hesitate to teach its principles to the youth of the land. “Educate and inform the people,” said Jefferson. “Let it be taught in the schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, in spelling books and in almanacs; proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in the courts of justice. Let it become the political religion of the nation,” was Lincoln’s earnest prayer. Our present ignorance of the American Constitution is profound. Records show that only one American adult in four knows what the Bill of Rights is, only three in ten can tell the difference between free enterprise and national socialism, and less than one in two can name even one United States Senator from his state. We must learn more about our Constitution. Our flag represents our nation, our nation of the past, our nation of the present, and our nation of the future. It represents the heritage given us by our forefathers. When we pledge allegiance to the flag, we pledge to the red of sacrifice, of suffering, of determination and of courage; to the red of valor and fearlessness. We promise to serve our country. We pledge to the white of hope and truth, Ninety-six to uprightness and honesty. We pledge to observe her laws and to carry our share of the load without complaining. We pledge to the blue of sincerity, loyalty, justice, honor, characteristics that have been prominent in American life in time of peace and in time of war. We pledge to the stripes of power and greatness, to the field of wonder and promise, and to the stars of light and glory. It is a serious matter and a great privilege to pledge to our flag. We have the best form of government yet devised by man. We believe in freedom of worship, freedom of press, freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of speech, freedom of education and the right of the people to assemble peaceably. Our freedom has cost a price in terms of toil and blood and life. We must pay these prices to keep our country free. No word in all of our history is more precious to us than that of freedom. We have been asked by our government to give up a few conveniences and comforts, and even necessities when occasion demands. We have been asked to pay higher taxes in order to support our government and the war. These taxes are still on a basis where we share equally. Sacrifices made on the battlefield are all too tragic for anyone on the home front to forget for one instant that we must back up our armed forces to the very limit of our ability and endurance. This is our responsibility. Our responsibilities are greater in wartime, and we must expect to give up a few privileges in order to share in the victory. The youth of today scans horizons broader than any ever known. They are studying, planning and working for a better world. They have much to learn in a short time because youth and adults alike will plan and put into effect the post-war projects. They must keep the peace. It is their privilege and responsibility. American boys are dying to keep our way of life living. And whether it is months or years, one day our armies will come back victorious. Back to a nation grateful with waiting arms and cheers and the acclaim of millions . There will be something in their hearts we have not known—something in their faces we have not seen. Today in far places these men question as they fight. Not the rightness of their cause, but what goes on at home. What plans we are making for their future. What of their fredoms, their opportunities, their rights as men born to a heritage of free living. Some of these will have given more than time; they will have spilled their life's blood on foreign soil. And so our task is one with theirs. To apply the ingenuity born of war to the purposes of peace. To guarantee to them, all who work, the right of opportunity that has made this nation the hope and vision of mankind. To resist, with every power at our command, encroachment upon the rights of the people—limitations —restrictions—regimentation. This is our clear responsibility. We must be prepared after the confetti and the cheers. To my beloved country I quote a short poem which sums uo most of our privileges and responsibilities as an American citizen: Keep the torch of liberty burning! Remember that on every day Men are killing one another, For they know not fredom’s way. And our flag, its lovely colors, See the red and white and blue Let us live or die to honor All things that are pure and true. We are governed by the people, For the people, one and all. Let us cling to truth and justice, If we stand or if we fall. Man may worship where he chooses; State and church must separate be, If we wish to keep our freedom In this land of liberty. We must keep the Constitution. Never has there been a plan That so graciously has taught us To respect the rights of man. Help us, God, to be most loyal To this nation that we love For it is a little sample Of your kingdom up above. —Dorothy Sandeffer Ninety-seven ACKNO WEEOGMENT WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE SAPULPAN STAFF, TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS OUR DEEPEST INDEBTEDNESS TO MR.
