EXAMINING THE PLANS FOR THE NEW GRADE SCHOOL Zddftdqg ' One of the major problems of the school board is providing adequate housing for our ever-increas- ing school enrollment. On January 26, 1954, our school system had 812 pupils in Grades 1 through 6, 342 in junior high qGrades '7 through 93, and 283 in senior high fGrades 10 through 123. This is a total enrollment of 1437. Through tl1e untiring efforts of our school board all veterans of long experience in school affairs, a new grade school is under construction and should be ready to relieve the overcrowding in the lower grades by next fall. In the future, another wing and an auditorium will be added to the present high school building to continue to meet our needs there. X.

Boys in short breeches and girls with pigtails tied with bright ribbons, teeth clenched and knees knocking, clung to their mothers' hands as they were taken through the south entrance of Broken Arrow Grade School to Mrs. Patterson and Miss Cox. The twenty still with us nery. I.C. Duensing, Janice Hudson, Bill Cobb, Shirley Bickel, Dawain McNabb, Eu- von Loyd, Jim Megee, Barbara Wagner, Clarence Drummond, Pat Ibison, Kenneth Par- nell,Carolyn Howard, Joe Montgomery, Louise Kemp, LeRoy Lemon, and Orpha Kellams Our teachers in the second grade were Mrs. Talbot and Mrs. Morse. Remember the rhythm band and how we dreaded those vaccinations? New members that year were Harold Poplin, Lendell Martin, and Dearl Watson. Remember the fire that burned part of the building before school started the next fall? Mrs. Hollabaugh had to look at our smutty faces in the basement for a while until we had a room we could call our own. Miss Winters had the rest of us. Molly Hollabaugh, Ted Barron, and John Mar quiess joined us that year. fTed, do you remember putting the ant down the little boy's back'?j The following year we really began climbing as Miss Helm and Miss Wilson urged us upstairs with loving hands. Added to our class of hopefuls were Russell Coates, Sidney Cummings, Gerald Blissit, and Raymond Neal. fRemember what happened when that fire cracker went off, Russ?j In the fifth grade several of us seemed to think that we were wheels but we learned different under the capable leadership of Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Smith. Lou Hocker, Philip Sparling, Gayle Livesay, Paul Hamilton, and Shirley Tarlton joined our class then. Remember the hair cuts, boys, and oun operetta, The Christmas Toys Woke ? As top men in grade school we thought we had the world by the tail until Mrs. Lee and Mr. Rhoades changed our minds. Re- member the boys with their long trousers and slicked-back hair and the girls with curls and frills? Added to our class were Joe Tom Reed and Wayne Ledbetter. Remember Mrs. Condon's Glee clubs and our operetta, Snow White ? How we enjoyed our geography scrapbooks with their South American scenes! ln approaching junior high territory, we were alert and added four reinforcements: Dwayne Harris, Irene Taber, Toby Blankenship, and Robert Ingold. Remember our bewilderment with lockers, different teachers every hour, new rooms to find? Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Helm helped us become adjusted, but upperclassmen laughed at us. Our eighth year started out successfully with the addition of two new faces: Susanna Couch and Lois McMath. Mr. Kennedy and Miss Blair were our sponsors. Remember Visitation Day and our play, Wilbur Faces Life ? Some of the girls wore their first formals usher- ing at graduation. Joining us as freshmen were Ronald Williams, Maxine Peterson, Melvin Douglas, Anna Belle Houser, Kenneth Kindley, Phyllis Kerr, Bob Winingham, Nancy Francy, Donald Lee, and our own set of beloved twins, Kay and Jay Jennings. Mr. Kennedy sponsored us the third year and Mr. White joined him. Our highlights were class day and grad- uation, with Robert Ingold valedictorian, Molly Hollabaugh salutatorian, and J. C. Duensing receiving the American Legion Award. Robert was class president and Molly reporter. The other officers have since moved away. As sophomores we were again underclassmen and felt very unnecessary. We were joined by Derald Kennedy, Bill Wheeler, and Jerry Crawford, with Miss Silva and Mr. Gwartney as sponsors. Remember our Dogpatch float, our play, Girl Shy and serving the junior-senior banquet blacked up as darkies? Dearl Watson and Shirley Tarlton were our first representatives to the newly-organized student council. Russell Coates was president, J. C. Duensing , vice- president: Susanna Couch, secretary-ueasurerg Lou Hooker, reporterg and Dwayne Harris, sergeant-at-arms. As juniors, we added Jimmy Dall, Joan Monroe, Perry Warren, Dennis Caldwell, Sheilia Hopkins, and Hershell Caple to our gathering. Remember choosing our class rings, dur Hawaiian banquet, and our play, The Campbells Are Coming ? Our sponsors were Mrs. Cupples and Mr. Mitchell. Melvin Douglas was president, Russell Coates, vice-presidentg Molly Hollabaugh, secretary- treasurerg Lou Hocker, reporterg and Mary Connery and Jay Jennings, student council representatives. Robert Ingold went to Boys' State, Molly and Lou to Girls' State. Now at last we became seniors. New enlistments were Frank Banfield, Barbara Olson, Hollis Murphy, and Deloy Pollard. Our sponsors were Miss Clason and Mr. Hays, with Russell Coates again president, Robert Ingold, vice- presidentg Molly Hollabaugh, secretaryg Shirley Tarlton, treasurer. Remember Tiger House, our mystery play? Melvin Douglas was student council president and Joan Monroe and Derald Kennedy, senior representatives. Nancy Francy was crowned Football Queen by Ted Barron: Sidney Cummings, Band Queen by Drum Major, Melvin Douglas: and Kay Jennings, FFA Queen by FFA President, Dearl Watson. Annual Queen and King were Anna Belle Houser and Dwayne Harris. Shirley Lemon was Cotton Queen. Molly Hollabaugh was Arrow-Life editor and Susanna Couch was journalism editor. Organization presidents not mentioned above were: Kenneth Kindley, Band: Melvin Douglas, D. E. : Irene Taber, Pep Club falso head cheerleaderjg Lou I-locker, FTA: Molly Hollabaugh, Fl-IAQ and Russell Coates, T8tI. Robert Ingold and Philip Sparling were co-captains of the football team, and Jim Lofton and L. C. Showman were co- captains of the baseball team. Donald Lee was listed as all-state end in football and Lendell Martin made all-conference guard. Now as commencement draws near, we are writing the final chapter of our history.

Hershell couldn't be that noisy unless he has changed a lot! LeRoy Lemon owns all of Union's up-and-coming banks. He became interested in banking while working in the office during his high school days. Well, that is all the news from the Class of 1954.

The sophomores were a bit scared, as were our new cheerleaders, but old- timers Irene, Toby, and Betty kept things rolling and everything came out super anyway. CLAREMORE--Sept. 18: Rain, rain, rain! Why didn't someone tell us it was going to rain? We were mighty proud of a certain sophomore who made our only score, and there were no ill effects from the soaking we took even though Mrs. Cupples was sure we'd all die from exposure. DEWEY--Sept. 25: The Pep Club and Band formed a DB for the Dewey Bulldogs. Shirley'Waller forgot her belt, but thank goodness the cheerleaders were wearing jumpers and not skirts. . . VINITA--Oct. 2: Finetta, Lanell, and Connie had the privilege of riding on the steps all the way to this game. But then everyone was crowded, weren't they, gang? The boys added another victory to their record, and our hoarseness was not in vain. Y '4 ' t '3nz..'fi-ffl.. an-'g 3-6' PAWHUSKA--Oct 9: Homecoming! Our mums were the I prettiest ever, and at half-time Ted Barron crowned a very V7 pretty Nancy Francy as Football Queen for 1953. Attendants were Judy Lyle and Sonja Showman. We had loads of fun at the soc-hop after the game given in Nancy's honor. SKIATOOK--Oct. 15: This was the night we left at the first quarter to do the half-time stunt. Who messed that up? NOWATA--Oct. 23: A crucial game! Remember our confetti? MIAMI--Oct. 30: This was the game we looked forward tc the most, even though it was the farthest away. A little shamefacedly we vowed never to mess up Ernie's bus again. WEBSTER--Nov. 6: Games were getting colder! Everyone tried to latch on to the nearest blankets. Finetta lost her hot chocolate and Barbara Wagner couldn't keep up with her lemon--but then did she ever? PRYOR- -Nov. 13: As Mr. Gesin played Au1d Lang Syne, the seniors suddenly real- ized that it was their very last game and eyes were none too dry. The Tigers came through with flying colors to win their last game, and we were proud of them. Thus ended a most successful year for the .1953 B. A. H. S. Pep Club.

To an old deserted mansion in the country come Elaine Blair, played by Pat Bachmann, her lawyer-fiance, Bill Clayton, played by Henry Brandtg her mother played by Susanna Couchg her cousin Euvon Loyd, and her little brother and sister, Joe Montgomery and Ella Jane Scott. Elaine has inherited the house but finds it in the possession of the crafty Dr. Fersig, played by Jim Dall, his maid, Dennie Crawford, and deaf son Many Connery, who are two detectives in dis- guise. Sheilia Hopkins manages to add thrills as she threatens to kill everyone. This along with a skeleton ln the house made this play a spine-tingling mystery that was enjoyed by all.

Our student council, now in its third year, is organized to advance high standards of education, to promote the right attitude toward good scholarship, to create and maintain a friendly and cooperative understanding among students and faculty, to develop a closer cooperation between school and community, and to secure student participation in school government. Each spring we elect a president from the junior class who serves the following year. Each senior high class elects a boy and a girl in the fall to represent it during the school year at regular monthly meetings and numerou- called meetings. Melvin Douglas was president for i953-54. Representatives were Joan Monroe and Derald Kennedy, seniors, Susanne Sherrell and Ronald McHenry, juniors: Sue Collins and Larry Box, sophomores. Mr. Ted Best served as sponsor. We gave out handbooks to all new students as one of our projects. Our suggestion box brought the student body and faculty closer together in discussing school problems. Our main projects were taking charge of all assembly programs, placing new nash cans on the campus, and undertaking a clean-up drive. We operated the soft drink and pencil machines in the high school building all year. All profits from these helped to run the council organization. An all-school skating party and periodic publication of a Student Council Bulletin were additional projects of our group. We also finished the constitution and took a trip to Tulsa Central High School to visit one of their council meetings. --Ioan Monroe, secretary NATIONAL Hduon so-:serv S 'Q S f 5 s 9 S 5 L l First row: DeAnna McCoy, Winnie Cotner, Francile Cowden, Shirley Streeter, Opal Billue, Shirley Hardgraves, Richard Gilliland.

Those substituting included Dearl Watson, Howard Williams, Susanne Couch, Sidney Cummings, Mary Connery, Jay Jennings, and Robert Ingold. One of our social projects was being host at the High School Open House during American Education Week. Those helping were Joan Monroe, Shirley Lemon, Mary Connery, LeRoy Lemon, Raymond Neal, Dearl Watson, and Bill Wheeler. Miss Clason accompanied the members to the F. T. A. Day at Tulsa University on March 2nd. A high light of our meeting on January 26 was our guest speaker, Superintendent G. L. Hollabaugh, who made a splendid talk. Two meetings were spent seeing the Educational films, Who Will Teach Your Child? and We Plan Together. A merit committee with Virginia Greer as chairman and consisting of Jim Dall, Toby Blankenship, Mary Connerygtdrew a merit system which was presented to the club. This system was used to give members points for doing various things. Jim Dall and his committee prepared a club rating card which was presented at the State Convention in April at Oklahoma City.

This audio visual group trains students to assist teachers in operating projectors in the classroom. Three projectors and three screens are available for the use of this club. They show on the average ten films a month, exclusive of the many slides and film strips used by classes. Projectionists are assigned to duty during their study halls or show films for classes of which they themselves are members. Often several films are shown during the same hour in various departments of the high school. As a source of income, this club sells cold drinks at the basketball games. Money is used to buy such things as blackout curtains and screens for classroom use. Thirty-five members were active throughout this past year with Bill Couch as president, Willard Treat, vice-presidentg Billye Marie Combs, secretary: and Frances Taber, treasurer. 7, ' va binds.

Or when Shirley couldn't even get the shuffleboard cue half-way down to the scoring area? When Donna Jean hit the bullseye every time she fitted an arrow in the bow? Janis looking so surprised when she ran up to tell Mrs. Cupples something, slipped, and landed FLAT on the floor? Developing physical fimess is far from being the sole aim of our Girls' Physical education program. The attitudes and habits of loyalty, cooperation, initiative, leadership, and self-control are just as im- portant. Our program includes such team activities as volleyball, softball, and basketball, and such individual activities as shuffleboard, archery, badminton, table tennis, tumbling, and exercises, as well as both folk and square dancing. Each girl attains enough appreciation of sports through knowledge and participation of fundamentals to make these sports a permanent part of her everyday adult life and learns a wiser and happier use of her leisure time.
