L . QPULPQ S C4ruj-CrL_ sqpulpo, OKLnhomo For God hath marked each sorrowing day And numbered every secret tear, And Heaven’s long age of bliss shall pay For all His children suffer here. ACKNOWLEDGMENT At the closing of this year and with the publication of another Sapulpan, we, the members of the yearbook staff, would like to express our thanks to those who have made our book possible. We will always be indebted to Mr. Davis, our sponsor, for his work on our book. Without his patient guidance and helpful suggestions we would surely have failed. We are deeply grateful to Mrs. Oakes who contributed her time in helping to proof the written copy. We also wish to thank the Senior sponsors who were always willing to help. We are truly grateful to our patrons, whose contributions made our book possible. To everyone who had a hand in the production of this book we would like to say Thank you!” _______________________...___________...____________ .._______________________________________ .__________________________________________________________________.............................................................................................................................................• • • • •• • •• .. ............. ............................ .........................................................

HARTMAN Vice-President MISS MARJORIE BROWN Clerk MISS MAXINE DELOE Secretary to Superintendent MR. C. W. WILLS Treasurer This has been a year of good progress. I have enjoyed watching your advancement. As you have grown toward the achievement of your full capacities and the development of your personalities and powers, I have been made happy with the feeling that your generation will be better than was mine and that you will win in the struggle for a better world. Twelve The measure of a person is not determined by mere wealth or fame or by his interests. We measure the greatness of a person by his loves, generous deeds, his attitudes toward life, and his spiritual attainments. To meet the test we must develop true Christian character and show by our everyday actions that we are putting into practice those things that will make life worthwhile. Thirteen MR. R. E. WHITE M.

Sixty-four CHIEFTAINS LOSE SEASON OPENER 13-6 This season’s production of Sapulpa Chifetains opened the season on a none too happy note, as they fell before the claws of the Norman Tigers 1 3-6, at Holmes Park, September 17. The Chieftains started as if they meant business, punching the ball within scoring distance, but they failed to push the ball on over, as on several occasions. The Tigers broke the scoring ice in the second quarter, scoring from twenty-eight yards out, and fail' ing to add the extra point, left the field at halftime with a 6'0 lead. The Chieftains came back in the third quarter to tie up the game. Jimmy Kendall took a deflected pass on the two yard line, to step on over for the touchdown. Ronald Hendricks missed the tie'break' ing extra point. After battling on even terms throughout most of the third and fourth quarters, the Tigers fought their way to the Sapulpa six, from where an end run netted v them six yards and the game winning score. The ♦conversion was added to make the score 13'6, Nor' man’s favor. The Tigers held on to their lead to preserve their victory. CHIEFTAINS SNEAK BY SANDITES 19-12 IN A CLOSE CALL The Sapulpa Chieftains won over the Sand Springs Sandites, in a non'conference tilt, at Holmes Park, September 24th, in a comparatively close game. The Chieftains held the Sandites on the ground, but failed to hold them through the air. The Chieftains drove from their own forty yard line to register their first score, as Jimmy Kendall scored from the twelve yard marker. He failed to convert, but it was enough for the Chieftains to lead 6'0 at half time. The Sandites roared back on a pass that covered forty'five yards to tie the game up in the third quar' ter; they failed to go ahead when their try for conversion was no good. The Chieftains rolled right back to go ahead, when Floyd Smith went through the line from five yards out, sending the Chieftains ahead 12-6, as the conversion was missed. Floyd Smith chalked up his second touchdown of the evening, going over from the five, after the Chieftains drove fifty yards to set up the score. Jimmy Kendall came through with his try for the extra point, to make the score 19-6. With time running out in the last frame, the San-dites again scored through the air from the fifteen yard line. They failed to add their conversion try, as the Chieftains went on to preserve their victory. CHIEFTAINS TRAMPLE OKMULGEE 26-0 The Chieftains clearly outclassed the defending state champion Okmulgee Bulldogs, at Holmes Park, October 1st, as the score will verify. The Chieftains cashed in on Bob Willibey’s nice run back of a punt to set up their first touchdown from the Bulldog 17. Bill Long tripped across the goal line from fifteen yards out. Early in the first quarter, after recovering an Okmulgee fumble on the Bulldog thirty-two, Jimmy Kendall scored from the one yard line. Hendricks converted to make the tally sheet show Sapulpa ahead 13-0. Capitalizing on an intercepted pass by Charles Rush, the Chieftains drove to another score in the same period, as Floyd Smith slipped off tackle for a tally. Kendall’s try for conversion was blocked, leaving the score 19-0, with the Chieftains on the long end of the score at the end of the first half. Floyd Smith capped a drive that started from Sapulpa’s own thirty-nine, by driving over from the two yard marker, as the Chieftains Juggernaut really rolled early in third period. Hendricks split the uprights to make the final score 26-0, Sapulpa’s favor. With Chieftain reserves taking over in the last frame, the Bulldogs still could not score. Sixty-five CHIEFTAINS SUFFER 21-14 DEFEAT AT HANDS OF WEBSTER WARRIORS The Chieftains, in their first game away from home, fell before the Webster Warriors, at Webster stadium, October 8th, to the tune of 214 4. In the first quarter, the Warriors drove from their own thirty-five yard line to their first touchdown. They converted to make the score 7 0, Webster’s favor. Early in the second quarter the Warriors again tallied after intercepting a pass that was run back to Sapulpa's twenty yard line. The conversion was good, leaving the score 14-0. The Chieftains came back in the closing minutes of the first half to roll up six points. Bill Long passed to Floyd Smith, who slithered over from the ten yard line. Ronald Hendricks converted to make the score stand at half time, 14 for the Warriors and 7 for the Chieftains. The Warriors wasted no time in the third quarter to score, taking the opening kick-off and driving for their last touchdown. They also kicked the extra point, to take a 214 4 lead. The Chieftains took the following kick-off and rolled to a touchdown, sending Jimmy Kendall around end and through the whole Webster defense for fifty' five yards and a score. Kendall also converted to make the scoreboard read 214 4 in favor of Webster, the game ending this way. CHIEFTAINS BATTLE WILDCATS TO A 13-13 DEADLOCK The Sapulpa Chieftains and Bartlesville Wildcats treated the huge crowd at Holmes Park, October 15th, to a real battle of offense and defense, winding up in a 134 3 tie, but the decision went to the Wildcats on first downs. The Chieftains got off to a flying start in the second quarter, taking a Bartlesville fumble, and marching to a touchdown, Jimmy Kendall going over from the one yard line. Kendall also converted to let Sapulpa lead 7-0. The Wildcats marched right back for their first Sixty-six score, using a sleeper play to advance the ball to the Chieftain's one yard line, from where they crashed over for a touch down, but failed to add the extra point, leaving the score to read Sapulpa 7, Bartles villc 6, at half time. The Chieftains were not to be denied though; John Dorcmus on a quarterback sneak, scored from the one foot line. What would have been the winning point was blocked as the desperate Wildcats poured through and blocked Jimmy Kendall’s try for extra point. The Chieftains were threatening to score again as the final gun went off. CHIEFTAINS UPSET ROPERS 13-0 The Chieftains smashed the Rogers Ropers 13-0, before a good crowd at Skclly Stadium, in Tulsa, in a striking display of offensive power on the part of the Chieftains. Wasting no time, the Chieftains drove to a score midway in the first quarter and added the clincher in the fourth stanza. When the Ropers got within striking distance, the Chieftain defense tightened up, throttling the Roper scoring chances many times. Taking over the ball on their own thirty-five, the Chieftains sent Jimmy Kendall through the line for sixty yards, to the Rogers three, where a fleet Roper defender hauled him down from behind. After two plays took the ball to the one yard line. Bob Willibey smashed over for the score. Ronald Hendricks added the extra point, letting the Chieftains assume a 7'0 lead that held to the half. The Chieftains iced the game in the third quarter, when they marched seventy-five yards to tally again, never relinquishing the ball. The Chieftains again sent Willibey over for the counter. Hendricks missed the extra point, but the 13-0 lead was sufficient, as the belated Ropers could not connect with their desperate passes. CHIEFTAINS SINK BRISTOW PIRATES 25-0 The Chieftains journeyed to Bristow November 5, to take on the Pirates in their annual game; in doing so, they took the Pirates for a merry ride to the tune of 25-0. Whether the cold weather was the cause, or some other unknown reason, it took the Chieftains three and a half quarters to warm up; but when they did, they surged on for three quick scores and added another in the fourth quarter. Half way into the third quarter, John Doremus returned a Buccaneer punt from his own forty-five to the Pirate thirty-five. On the next play Bill Long shot a pass to James Snider who was in the clear on the Bristow 15, from where Snider ran the pigskin over for the first of the Chieftains' lightning like touchdowns. Jimmy Kendall failed to convert, leaving the score Sapulpa 6, Bristow 0. After taking the kickoff, a Pirate aerial was intercepted by Bob Willibey, who returned it to the Pirate forty-six. After advancing the ball to the thirty yard line in two plays, Bob Willibey waltzed into the clear, and on over for a tally. Bob Starr's conversion attempt was wide, to let the Chieftains lead 12-0. Hardly getting their breath, another of the Pirate's passes was pulled out of the air by Long, who then outran the Bristow secondary for fifty-five yards and a tally, the third in about four minutes. This time Starr split the uprights, making the score 19-0, with the Chieftains on the long end of the score. Even Coach Bomgardner's second team had too much scoring punch as James Deason pulled in another wild Pirate toss on the Bristow thirty-nine. After passing to Dan Lawson on the Pirate twenty-three, Deason then hit Bill Ausmus with a pass on the Bristow two, and Ausmus lugged it on over. The extra point was missed and the Chieftains held their 25-0 lead 'till the final gun. MUSKOGEE SQUEAKS OUT 14-7 WIN OVER CHIEFTAINS With the district 6A crown at stake, the Sapulpa Chieftains went down before the Muskogee Roughers at Muskogee, November 12, by a 14-7 decision. Playing on a fog shrouded field before 7,000 fans, the Chieftains scored first on a sustained march of seventy-three yards, but they couldn't hold on to their lead as the Roughers took advantage of two breaks to sink the Chieftains' hopes on two tallies. The Chieftains rung up the first tally marching seventy-three yards to cross the last chalkmark. After apparently being stalled on the Rougher thirty, John Dorcmus hit James Snider with a pass on the Muskogee three. On the next play Long went through the line for the last three yards and a touchdown. The Chieftains took the lead 7-0 after Jimmy Kendall converted. The Chieftains’ hopes dimmed when an alert Rougher pounced on a Chieftain fumble on the Sapulpa thirty-two; from here they cracked over the Sapulpa goal in six plays and added the extra point to tie up the game. Coming back after a 7-7 halftime score, the Roughers fell on a blocked Sapulpa punt on the Chieftains’ six, and three plays later tacked on their six points and extra point to lead 14-7. The Chieftains could not connect with their passes, so Muskogee held their 14-7 lead to capture the District 6A title. BRAVES SCALP CHIEFTAINS 33-13 Rallying to tie the game at half-time, and then rolling on to three more scores in the second half, the Tulsa Central Braves slapped a 33-13 defeat on the game but outclassed Sapulpa Chieftains at Holmes Park, November 19. The Chieftains' pass defense stopped any hopes of the Braves of passing as Jimmy Kendall intercepted two Tulsa passes in Sapulpa territory. The Chieftains took advantage of both of them as John Doremus hit James Snider with a short pass, to let Snider outrun the Brave secondary and score on a play covering fifty-five yards. The conversion try was missed. After Kendall intercepted another Tulsa aerial. Bob Willibey tossed a pass behind the line of scrimmage to Bill Long who went the remaining sixty-five yards to score. Kendall kicked the extra point to let the Chieftains assume an early 13-0 lead. But the lead was short-lived as the Central offense began to click, and they clicked for two scores, tied the game at the half, and then punched three more tallies past the weary Chieftain defenders to round out their triumph.

BASEBALL Ct Prospects for a good baseball season were good as forty athletes turned out for the spring sport this past spring, twelve lettermen returned to bolster the Chieftains’ defense in the baseball wars. Due to the huge turnout, Coaches Bomgardner and Carr were forced to split the large squad into two groups, with the letterrrten and better looking prospects heading the no. 1 club, while the freshmen and less experienced boys dotted the no. 2 squad. The baseballers drew the curtain on a rough twelve game slate March 22, when they journeyed to Okmulgee to open the season. I hey finished the season with a game with Sands Springs. The season of 1948 found the Chiefs winning three while losing six. The no. 1 club and positions played are as follows: Jimmy Kendall, James Patterson, catchers; Ken Adair, John Prince, first base; John Blacky second base; Bob Willibey, shortstop; Bill Hickey, Charles Bilby, Bob Starr, third base. In the outfield were: Bill Long, James Deason, Bill Jackman, and Rudy Venator. Heading the pitching staff were: Morris Brock, Charles Dodson, John Doremus, Tykie Patty, and Roy Ellis. 1949 Schedule Tv L i P t } C March 22 Okmulgee - there March 24 Tulsa Central - here March 29 Tulsa Rogers - here April 5 Muskogee - here April 8 Broken Arrow - there April 12 Okmulgee - here April 14 Tulsa Central - there April 19 Tulsa Rogers - there April 22 Sands Springs - there April 26 Muskogee - there fJ April 29 Broken Arrow - here May 5, 6, 7 Regional Playoffs May 9 Sand Springs - here i Seventy FIRST ROW — Eulis Rogers, Jim Haught, Gene White, Jim Kendell, Willis Jones, Paul Stamps, George Morris, Vernon Land, Bob Casto, Paul Land.

WRESTLING The manly art of self defense was brought out in the high school athletic program this past season as wrestling (on a competitive scale) was introduced to the fans for the first time in about fifteen years. The boys fared well for first year men as they finished the season with a one won, three lost, and one tied record, engaging teams with more experience than the Chieftains themselves. The squad was under the direction of R. E. White, a protege of the immortal Ed Gallagher. Before coming to Sapulpa he tutored the Bristow grapplers. Mr. White graduated from Tulsa University, and attended Oklahoma A. M., where he studied the techniques of the mat sport. The team lost to Tulsa Rogers, Bristow, and Wewoka, while they whipped the Tulsa Central B, and tied the Rogers B in a return match. Seventy-one TRACK As was the case with the baseball team, the huge turnout for track brought many smiles and also many worries to Coach “Buddy” Brewton in his first year as track coach at Sapulpa High School. With the announcement of the opening of the track season, Coach Brewton was faced with the unhappy task of breaking a 45 man squad down to a well-molded unit to compete in the numerous events scheduled for the high school Harriers. On the menu for the tracksters were the Tulsa University Relays, the Bison Relays at Shawnee, the Okmulgee Relays, and the Aggie Relays at Stillwater. Interspersed between these contests were plans for meets with Tulsa Webster, Bristow, and Sands Springs. 100 AND 200 YARD DASH Jerry Von Gonten John Egan Jack McCullough Don Harrington Norman Montgomery Ray Naifeh 440 YARD RUN Bob Haves Bob Hufft Wesley Vinyard 880 YARD RUN Bill Johnson Dick Hand Bill Coy MILE RUN Bill Coy Charles Rush Bob Turner Bill Harris Gerald Upshaw George Morris Bill Huie Pete Gann Kippy East Bob Hufft 200 YARD LOW HURDLES Dan Lawson Don Harrington Charles Smith 120 YARD HIGH HURDLES Boyd Crutchfield Charles Smith HIGH JUMP Jim Nave Willis Jones Elmer Warren Bobby Hayes Kenneth Cacy POLE VAULT Boyd Crutchfield J.

JUNE 2 The great day arrived. It should be a happy occasion, but for us it was a sad one. We know now that we are on our own. Eighty-five Gimme Where is he? What am I bid for? The two way stretch Eighty-six CLASS PROPHECY Greetings, my dear little friends of Sa-pulpa High. This is your old Uncle Snoopengozzable with another of those quaint little bed time stories that you dearly love to hear. Now, listen, my children, and you shall hear, the exciting tale of the outcome of those brilliant students of ’49. Once upon a time there was a very tall lad named Bob Alsup (to his friends, Shortstuff). He married his childhood sweetheart, Ruth Bond, (to her friends, Lanky), living happily ever after. Then there’s the not-so-happy story of Professor Van Altenburg who teaches English Literature in S. H. S. He has a student, Richard Barbee, who can’t seem to get out of the 12th grade. He can’t find time. One day while your old uncle wandered around the halls of S. H. S., I accidently stumbled into the basement. I wanted to see if the radiators worked any better than they did when I went to school. I saw, of all sights, John Doremus, Wayne Harbord, and Charles Williamson janitor-ing. Appalled at this horrible sight, I stumbled up to! the first floor. Thinking I had seen enough of school, I set out on my dog sled. There was snow on the ground so thick that my dog team had to be let out of the traces so they could help one another out of the drifts. Coming to the bright lights of Sapulpa town, I found Pat Gallagher screaming to Wanda Rush, who was leaning out of the top floor of the Berryhill Building, that she didn’t have any more shorthand pads. By the way, Pat and Wanda have risen in the world; Pat is head seller of greeting cards at the “Democrat News,” and Wanda works for Ralph Beasley’s factory which makes buggies for Bouncing Baby Boys. I missed seeing Kay McKinney and Adelia Dean Shock—(by the way, Adelia and Earnest Bishop have broken up on account of a quarrel they had over whose turn it was to buy popcorn in the movies). Ernie is selling Bishop’s Frost Bite Cure (to the Eskimos) in Alaska . But to resume our little tale, Kate and Adelia are thrilling spectators by the thousands by going over Niagara in a cracker box. They got this original idea from George Morris and Barty Cavendar who used to do this for thrills. However after losing all their back molars, and deciding it wasn’t worth the thrills, they have become respectable. They now carve poems on the heads of straight pins. I learned from the proprietor of the B N Billards (I only stopped in for a chat), that Wesley Vinyard and Bill Burris had made a huge fortune out of billiards. James Deason and Aubrey Watkins, always behind the 8 ball, were sunk financially and were now selling pencils on South Water. Tiring of the big city, I hopped over to the thriving metroplis of Kellyville to take a gander. I found Paskel Wadley and Donald (Casanova) Stanley cleaning up the streets. About the same time, Joyce Naifeh, dressed in overalls, galloped up on a mule, (she’s gone back to nature) and told us that Nancy Chapman was living here, too. Hopping onto Oscar’s back —that’s the mule’s name—I was just in time to watch Nancy feed her sixteen children. Her husband, Marvin Murphy, after retiring from writing the life history of the tsetse fly, has now become a gentleman farmer. Boyd Crutchfield has his own radio program here also, “Laugh or Drop Dead.” Dan Lawson, co-operating with James Oldenhage, makes a bare living with their “Ye Olde Nudist Colony” on the outskirts of town. While ambling about, I learned that Bill Young and Bennie Linkhart, (weren’t they connected with football some way?) are employed by the Busy Bee Knitting Club as head instructors. Bill Burgess suddenly got into the limelight; seems he became so enthusiastic about Tarzan pictures that he has gone native, and you can now see him hanging from a grape vine in darkest Africa. Jimmy Frear and Dick Hand sell wash- Eighty-seven boards for the Easy Washing Wash Board Co., whose slogan is “Try our washboards and you won’t be content with everyday washboards; our washboards are guaranteed to cause an aching back or money back.” Roy Jamison and Bill Johnson have become millionaires. They invested in corn plasters and live in Blue Bell, where another of your old Uncle’s flames, Paula Stivers lives. Paula has set up her Poor Plouse for Pensioned Teachers. Charlene Cacy has dyed her blond hair black. She has the starring role in Carl Wells and Glenn Hatley’s new musical “Pse Coming Mommy, But I Can’t Get My Britches Undone from this Barbed Wire.” Quite a name isn’t it? Tommy Hobens, J. C. Kelly, and Bob Basinger put all their money into a skunk farm out at the city pump station. Been wondering why the water has had such a funny tang nowadays? Now, you know. Marian Brecht, after falling off the diving board at the city park, has become deathly afraid of water. She has been living for the past 2 34 years on the Sahari Desert with Nelly, her cat, her sole companion. I visited Virginia Moses and Julia Morgan at the city dump. They are the proud possessers of two wooden legs which they claim were given them by Robert Morford and Paul Carner, who don’t need them any more, as they have new ones. Remembering my dear old departed grand uncle’s nephew’s boy, I thought I would run over to the cemetery to pay him my respects. What to my wondering eyes should appear but Virginia Linnet and James McCabe, who make a living repairing beat-up tombstones. Ronald Hendricks and Bob Randolph have a company of trained seals who balance balls on the tips of their noses. We have heard that Ronnie and Bobbie take over the act when one of the seals is sick. I found Anita Nichols and Carl Osborn running a popcorn stand in front of the bank in town. They say they make pretty good money from it. In Tulsa, I ran into Carmen Ripley and Joanna Stroud who Eighty-eight told me they had a half interest in the gymnasium business. Eleanor Thompson, Zella McFarlin, and Denna Lu Warren still can’t get down to their normal 202. Howard Crawford, the perennial bachelor, is living with his pal, James Snider and his famous Power’s model wife, Hazel Gantz. Visiting at the hospital, I heard of the sad accident that befell Roberta Thrasher. She broke her leg in an intricate dance step called “Put Your Little Foot.” Roberta bought herself a wheelchair (on the installment plan) and has only two more payments to go. Don’t give up Bertie, you’ll soon have it paid for! Leaving the local news, I heard that Alberta French and James Patterson are living abroad, painting old medieval castles in Siberia. Dixie Dodson and Wanda Ausmus (lucky girls) are in the movies. Yes, now they’ve moved the ticket booths inside instead of outside. Carrol Baker, Paul Scott, Barbara Banks, and Billy Luker joined a band of traveling gypsies and are telling fortunes all over the country. Oh, woo is us! 1 was walking down the street and standing on the corner was Joe Ann McKinney selling apples. She had to start this terrible fate when tier husband, L. T. Golden became a racing fan and spent all of his money on rat races. While galloping through Glenpool, one day, I ran into Alice Johnston and Lorreta Wilson. Both of these girls are really getting along. Alice is married to the city manager anti Loretta is working for the “Glenpool Yearly Blatter.” Edward Van Arsdale, Charles Spurlock, and Flo Swaim were seen at the Flamingo. Asking what they were doing, I found they had pooled all their pennies and invested in a fish worm farm. It seems they were’nt doing so well, as practically all the worms died in their infancy. However, with the help of Bill Long and Dick Hand, famous scientists who have perfected a magical chemical that makes fish worms live longer, grow longer, and catch longer cat fish, they think they will pull through. The only news I could get of John Baker, Roy Bassham, Morris Brock, and William Criswell was that they had joined the foreign legion and were now colonels. James Toliver is a guide to bridal parties at Niagara Falls, but it seems that he accidentally pushed a couple over the Palls. He is now searching for another job, preferably at some distance from New York state. The saddest thing of all, though, was to learn that Jo Anne Kling-ensmith, after going to a very sedate girls’ school in the east, had set up a Chinese laundry. Jo Klingensmith, Laundry while you wait! Dianna Mote, becoming a successful dealer in antique match covers, has also become a successful old maid. Ann Mercer, finding the Navy still pretty good, has married a sailor and joined the Waves; Helen Ren .elman is a brilliant horse doctor and the proud owner of ten cats, nine dogs, and one cow. I saw Juanita Carson, June Bowen, and Evelyn Brannon shopping at the Safeway. They seem to he happily married, but I noticed a package of rat killer in their bags. Maybe they have rats or they’re unhappily married. Could be? My story has almost come to an end, my dear little friends. Well, what d’ya know, they’re asleep! Could I have been boring them with this little tale ol Sapulpa High’s students? Time to go, and if these prophecies don't turn out as your old uncle Snoopengozzable predicted, blame old Dame P'ate, not your poor uncle. That’s all for tonight, kids. Good night, and don’t let those stories ruin your sleep! Your uncle, Snoopengozzable. P. S. The radiators don’t work any better.
