In time of crisis when the future is in the balance, we come to understand, with tull recognition and devotion, what this nation is, and what we owe to it. -Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Thirty-Second President ot United States, Commander-in-Chief of United States Army and Navy. 4...

'ff i, We who are the proud inheritors of a great nation and enjoy the privileges of its citizenship must carry also the obligations of its citizenship. Today this notion is faced with momentous decisions and no- tional problems which are for more complex and formidable than those which occupied the labors of its founders. The need for statesmanship and a rebirth of democracy was never greater than today, nor the call to patriotic service more pronounced. lf our democracy is to live, it must be through the unselfish service of its citizens today, tomorrow and every day. LEON C. PHILLIPS, Eleventh Governor, State of Oklahoma Upon the proper dissemination among the youth of today of the doctrines of tolerance, cooperation and patriotism de- pends the efficient functioning of the democratic society of tomorrow. Every right implies a responsibility: every oppor- f. tunity, an obligation, every possession, a duty. As long as youth remembers this, a government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. Q, R R, A, HEFNER, MOYOV, ' Oklahoma City l nt of the Board of Education extend congrat ulotuons to the graduating class of l942 theur parents and the faculty of Capitol Hill Senuor Hugh EDD L HISEL President Board of Education as preside The responsibility for the very pre ervatuon of a democratic form of gov ernment will fall h eavuly upon the shoulders of th S e present generation of hugh school students l have um plucut confidence and faith un them and believe that they will meet thus challenge with adequate courage and understanding to solve satisfactorily the problems that will confront them H E WRINKLE Superintendent Oklahoma City Schools Th nations were success ful in the initial phase of the present conflict because they w ere prepared We glory in the knowledge that the members of the graduating class of l942 have completed the step which will unsure success un the unutual phase of theur lives But unlike the aggressor nations theur preparedness is based on a different philosophy, a philosophy which will carry them to a full and permanent success. The youth of today is the gov- erning power of tomorrow, It is with high faith in their ability that we watch these students go forth to do their bit toward world freedom. W. C. HALLER, Principal, Capitol Hill Senior High School - e aggressor 3 FACULTY Government is not an endp it is a means. Edu- cation is not an end, it is the means by which youth can best prepare for participation in the most wholesome fruit of government . . . a com- munal life by all people and for all people's mu- tual benefit.

Members of CHHS pep clubs are required to attend all athletic events, to wear uni- forms on game days and to aid in every way possible to build school spirit. Ki-Yi activities through the years have included a ten-day trip to Mexico City, a four-day trip to Lubbock, Texas, overnight trips to Arkansas City, Kan., and to Amarillo, Texas, and this year the club followed the football team to Enid and the basketball team to EI Reno. ln past years the uniform of the Ki-Yi's has been maroon skirts and maroon sweat- ers with the club name on the sweater in cream color. This year the club changed to slacks and sweaters but kept the some color scheme. Ki-Yi sponsors are Miss Nobo French and Miss Bessie Matilda Wilson. The l94l officers of the club were-President, Betty Harrington, vice-president, Velma Mangham, secretary, Hazel Minx, pledge mis- tress, Thelma Neal, demerit captain, Mary Helen Kirkpatrick, reporter, Wanda Downs, treasurer, Louise Lowry, yell leader, Billie Dean Greer, assistant pledge mistress, Wanda Conley.

' nnnnnonejinnnoooonn but KNOBBERETTES There were fifty charter members in the Knobberettes pep club when it was organ- ized in l937. Their uniforms are cream colored skirts and maroon sweaters bearing a megaphone on them. Like Ki-Yi's their purpose is to foster school spirit and to create morale ,for the athletic events. They have made two Amarillo trips, went with the team to Mexico City and made the Enid trip last' fall. Their vice-president, Mary Ellis, was band queen this year. Sponsors are Mrs. Christine Fair, who helped organize the club in l937, and Mrs. Mable Kincode. ln l939 the club backed the sale of all school athletic event tickets. Doughnut sales, candy sales and even the performance of odd iobs, have been the means by which club activities have been financed. Each year the club entertains with a dance and with a picnic. This year's officers were-President, Wanda Poteer, vice-president, Mary Ellis, sec- retary, Betty Bloom, pledge mistress first semester, Lola Totoro, second semester, Robbie Lee Hall, yell leader first semester, Wanda Vallborn, second semester, Betty Morris, assistant yell leader, Dorothy White, mascots, Pat and Sara Lou Morgan, reporter, Thelma Stewart.

Selected from the membership of the entire vocal department, it was the tirst organiza- tion of its kind in Oklahoma City. Since its organization the choir has re- ceived ratings in high brackets in all contests entered. Robes were purchased for this organization by the Capitol Hill Athletic association three years ago, at a cost of approximately 5500. Branching out this year it became the first high school choir to make an extended tour singing in such places as Chickasha, Lawton, Walters, El Rena, Norman and Stillwater. The choir has maintained a high standard of musical composition and singing from its beginning. Radio plays, skits, drammar and melodrammar, not to mention LJ. S. O. performances, torch singers, debate and minute man speeches for any de- serving cause, are a few of the services offered the community by the S. O, S., dramatic club.

CLUB ATR iillllllli lli .i iiiiiomia 'imii The CHHS Alumni Association is sixteen years old this spring, having been or- ganized by the members of the first class to graduate from what, at that time, was Oklahoma City's youngest high school. The following year, the group held its first reunion, an event which has grown in interest until the l942 reunion was attended by 2,500 persons some of them from as far away as California and Florida. The reunion always is held on the Friday immediately preceding Easter, unless otherwise provided by the governing body, the cabinet. The usual reunion program starts off with registration. Then there's a baby show, a noon lunch in the school cafeteria, a special assembly at which the seniors of the high school are special guests, class meetings, an evening banquet and finally a dance and picture show. This year's president is Jess Calvery. Ed Cockerham is vice-president and Louise Holcomb is secretary-treasurer. The cabinet members are-1926, Roger Stevens and Lera Lee Young Dodd, l927, Marie Elsman Townsend, l928, Bill Morris, l929, Jerry Jahourek and Doris Bailey Morris, l93O, Geneva Johnson Arnold and Frankie Gilbert Manes, l93l, Iola Rose and Oleta Harris Aubrey, l932, Ruth Springer and Violette S.

Neuffer and Franklin Blair, I937, Audley Alli- son and Lucille McArthur, l938, Mildred Morin, l939, Louise Calvery and Elaine Hoskinson, l94O, Royce Nelson and Clydene H. Nelson. Teachers who have served as sponsors have been Miss Mary Selken, Mrs. La- vinia Dennis, Miss Velma Elam, Miss Inez Ellis, Mrs. Adaline Ball, Mrs. Mable Kin- cade and D. F. Cooley. One interesting project set up by the association is a student loan fund which has been instrumental in tiding many students over their school-day financial diffi- culties. Another project has been a fund which has paid fees and provided books for students in high school who could not meet their obligations.

Their purpose was to take trips by horse- back, to participate in parades and celebrations in order to keep alive the traditions of the old West. Their first trip was to Witcher, north and east of Oklahoma City, On their trips, if they are overnight journeys the boys camp out and cook over open fires, On one trip the boys mode camp after dark and woke up to find that the nice grove they had selected shel- tered a graveyard. Unlike many school clubs, membership in the Ramblers is not ended when school days are over, Even those members who move away from town remain members and through them the club hopes to get other cities interested in a similar organization. All of the boys have been members of the Future Farmers of America while in school. There are no officers of the group but all controversies are settled by a vote at the regular meetings which are held in the homes of the members on o rotating schedule, Their uniforms are tan shirts with a horse's head embroidered on one pocket, a steer's head on the other, blue levi's, boots, ten gallon hats, bandanas and spurs. They have organized a string band with Le Roy Case playing the guitar, Jack Han- ner, the mandolin and Le Roy Bryan, fiddle. Dale and Don Haney can assist with guitar and mandolin when needed. Bobby Blair and Le Roy Case are two who have left school. Seniors in the group this year are Jack Hanner, Bud Porter and Finley Harrington. ln addition to riding, members of the club like to dance, too, and list both formal and barn dances on their year's schedule. Ready to ramble over Oklahoma's prairies and through her canyon roads, the members of the Ramblers' Club are, left to right, Bud Porter, Jack Hanner, Finley Harrington, Le Roy Bryan, Dale Centers, Eugene Mullins, Don Haney and Dale Honey.

'E One cold windy day last October twenty Capitol Hill high school boys walked quietly into a deserted stadium and stopped rev- erently before an empty box. On the front of the box, set squarely on the fifty-yard line of the great gridiron, was a bronze plate which said that this box belonged to the great Knute Rockne, coach of Notre Dame. ln this box, at every Notre Dame home game, sits a quiet little woman with burning eyes that never miss a play She's the great Knute Rockne's widow, car- rying on for the football idol of the twen- tieth century who met death in a flaming aeroplane nearly ten years ago. And the twenty Capitol Hill high school boys were members of the l94l squad who were playing Waite High School at Toledo, Ohio, in a sectional game and visiting the shrines of great Americans en route. Leaving Oklahoma City in five cars the team went northeast through St. Louis, crossing the Mississippi at its junction with the great Missouri river. Then the caravan moved on through Illinois and the shrine of Abraham Lincoln at Springfield, through the industrial centers of the northeast to Toledo and home again through Ann Arbor. John Miskovsky, C. B. Speegle and John Scroggs were the three factulty members who accompanied the boys. The Toledo trip was the bright spot in a hum-drum season. What next fall may produce is still hypo- thetical. Fifty boys turned out, though, for spring football practice and eight lettermen will be back next fall. They are McCharen, Hunter, Walls, Holloway, Bonner, Lane, Fike and Carpenter. That is, they'll be back if their Uncle Sam doesn't need them worse than CHHS does. They'll have another mentor this year. Cliff Speegle joins the firm of Capitol Hill and Speegle, after two years' coaching ex- perience at Wewoka. Last year Cliff, who is'a former CHHS end and all-state high school player, lost one game, tied one game and won the rest of his schedule. After he was graduated from Capitol Hill, Cliff Speegle entered the University of Oklahoma. There he lettered in his sophomore year, was all-big six center, re- ceived honorable mention in the all-Amen ican poll, and played in the Orange Bowl game in l938. Capital HilI's letter men are: Henry Bonner, R H, J D. Rainbow, Roy Lane, Q, B., James Simmons, C., David Fike, E., Marvin Woodcock, E., Jerry Ford, L. H., and Richard Carpenter, G. Other letter men not pictured on these two pages are: Barrett Jones, H. B., Lawrence Corneli- son, T., and Junior Hayes, G. BAll X 'Qu' 'I .JY 2 Richard Peddycoart, six footer, captained the Redskins through their l94l season. Peddycoart, who is a senior, also is an honor stu- dent in mathematics, belongs to the National Honor Society, is president of the Senior class, member of the Student Council and an active par- ticipant in all school activities. A conference on strategy takes place on the practice field between C. B. Speegle, left, assistant coach, and John Miskovsky, coach. Miskavsky is an Oklahoma City boy who made good on the football field at the Uni- versity of Oklahoma. He went to Roosevelt junior highschool, to Central high school, where he was an all-city end in l93l. He was all-Oklahoma end for the University of Oklahoma in l935. After his gradua- tion he coached football at Konowa for two years before coming to Capitol Hill senior high school. He is now in the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant in the Reserves, stationed at Fort Sill. , Speegle is a Capitol Hill high school graduate who came home to coach basketball after graduation from the East State Central Teachers college and who will be joined next year by his brother, Cliff, also a CHHS alumnus, who takes Miskovsky's place as football coach. C. 8. went to school at Murray Aggies at Tishomingo where he played football and basketball and also was a track man. He also played basketball with the Oklahoma Aggies one season before going to Edmond to the teachers college. ln l938, '39 and '40 he was all-conference forward in basketball. There he duplicated his Murray record, playing basketball and football and making the track team. While at Edmond he was all-conference forward in basketball, and captain and all-conference end in football. He is married and young Speegle, Junior, arrived this spring for football and basketball material for his father's alma mater.

'ls' M DEPARTMENTS EVERY department in CHHS has been keyed this year to the needs of the nation. Curricula have undergone revision, emphasis on subject matter has been changed and a new conscious- ness of national unity is being developed as these changes are felt. Characteristic of this work is the model air- plane project which was carried on in the wood- work department. Students received material from the Board of Education. Plans came from the U. S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, in Washington, D. C. Part of the work was done in class, part at home and some of the boys remained at school until late in the evening to get the models completed as quickly as possible. So well was the work done that the examining committee accepted CHHS's models as IOO per cent car- rectly built. Boys participating in the project have received certificates from the Bureau of Aeronautics. From left to right, displaying some of the models, are Hugh Hardy, woodwork honor stu- dentg Ralph Thompson, Bill Bellamy and E. A. Hardy, woodwork instructor. SCIENCE The primary purpose of science os taught in high school, as seen through the eyes of the instructors, is to condition students to proper ways of thinking based on observed facts. CHHS offers chemistry, biology, geology, physics as four basic courses which attract between six and seven hundred students annually. War conditions seem to be occasioning rather changed demands in that the physical sciences have to be emphasized for the duration. By the physical sciences are meant: physics and chemistry. These sciences develop a technical ability which is at high premium in the present crisis. This demand has led to revisions in both subject matter and teaching methods aimed at speeding up the work and at developing those skills most needed to win the war. The fact that Oklahoma City's junior college is housed in the science wing of the building, has brought about more facilities for study than are to be found in the average high school science laboratory. That science has proved a stimulating subject is shown by the large number of junior college students who when they have finished their work at Capitol Hill, have gone on to get their degrees in other institutions and are scientists, engineers and geologists now. Members of the science faculty are W. H. Meigs, A. H. Tillottson, Carl Coleman, Miss Helen Biggers and Miss Bessie Wilson. X f---f-' v, We LG., - . fi, ,gk ' L Q 7 nj As, v-num 1 X., Marjorie Price and Hugh Hardy experiment with electricity. arc 1 , x r Quite certain, it is that the number of students enrolled in English is larger than the number enrolled in any other department, True enough, every student is required to take English, for, after all, English is the foundation from whichlall other subjects spring. lt is the privilege of the English staff, therefore, to help every student think for himself, express him- self accurately and fluently, and, through the study of literature, discover the basic principles of right action. The department is united in the belief that the better the expression the better the thought, that through literature the student can be led to discover delight in time and place other than his own, to develop a keener observation and sympathy for the things about him, and to cultivate an interest in reading material on a level higher than that to which he has been accustomed. This challenge is accepted by Miss lla Rogers, Mrs. Ruth Koerner, Miss Sara Cohen, Mrs. Christine Fair, Miss Lena Washichek, Mrs. Mabel Kincade, Mrs. Frances Garlick, Mrs. Norma Tackett, and Mrs. Adaline Ball. 1 -I Harold Black and Laverne Wyatt stand in front of the English show .t case. sms-e E Hi...

N!! 1 Honor mathematics students who are in- specting some at the math class figures and exhibits are Mildred Myers, Larry Johnston, Martha Groves and Richard Peddycoart. MATHEMATIC It is the purpose of the mathematics department to serve every student in senior high school. With that in view it offers a variety of courses one or more of which should be of interest to every high school student and should give him the mathematical background and training necessary for success in his chosen field of work. These courses include general mathematics, the usual academic or college preparatory courses and an interesting semester's work in engineering mathematics. Revision of the course of study in mathematics several years ago found Capitol Hill high school ready to meet the national emergency in training courses without any startling departures from the regular class room routine. The corps of teachers who man the department consist of Miss Velma Elam, Miss Zola Long, Mrs. Alice Morgan, Miss Marjorie Terry and John Scroggs. Each holds o master's degree and each has a successful teaching experience. The department is one of the strongest in any high school in the state. Patricia Malone demonstrates a proposition in Good Neighbor policy to Lee Landon, Colo Menefee, Virginia Spencer and Patsy Koock. llll ,,.,r,, ...M lllllll llllill llll ....l l ..illllll.. nf f ff? i The foregoing language department of CHHS has existed since the beginning of the school. Latin was the only language offered ot first, then after a few years Spanish was added to the curriculum and later on French classes were organized. However, the demand for French never was a steady one and for the last three years French has been taught only in the Junior College. At present the enrollment in Latin and in Spanish is about equal, with perhaps a few more enrolled in Latin. ln answer to the question, Which language shall l study? it should be said that each language fulfills a need. Latin is for the student who intends to follow his high school work with technical training that demands a specialized occu- pational vocabulary, as medicine or law or nursing, as well as for the student who desires to acquire a greater fluency in English and in understanding the structure of language in general. Much emphasis is being put on Spanish at the present time because of the increasing importance of Pan-American relations. Spanish will attract not only the student of Pan- Americon affairs but also the one who desires to speak another language, for the Pan-American countries offer us our only foreign contacts and during this emergericy a knowledge of Spanish is more valuable than ever before. Miss Inez Ellis and Mrs. Pearl Cook are the members of the foreign language staff. HOME ECONOMICS Q i -5 fy M55 g-vQ,,Em A recipe for a successful home economics department has as its main ingredient the supplying of the fourth R in edu- cation, Right Living, And in times like these that includes such courses as nu- trition, clothes remodeling, better salesmanship and o study of where the dollar goes. Keenly alive to the practical bear- ing of home economics upon America's war efforts, the depart- ment at CHHS has participated in Red Cross projects and this year for the first time has started classes in home economics for the boys. Those aromas! Yes, those aromas, the appetizing ones, that permeate the second floor halls are the results of just such activities as are illustrated by the picture above. Both boys and girls brew and stew and learn about the importance of nutrition and about what concactions will furnish nutrition. The home economics department no longer is just a place to sew and cook, but a department where every phase of home life is treated. Three full-time teachers include in their course of study such subjects as nutrition, consumer education, home furnish- ing and decoration, serving of meals, child care, family rela- tionships, clothing selection and construction, and budgeting for family finance. ln short, an effort is made to make home- living a business and a full-time business, too. Teachers in the department are Mrs. Florence Arnold, Miss Blanche Smith and Miss Noba French. Mary Beth Harrison, left, and Naomi Harbin right act chief aides for Chef John Hall in home economics class K ,CIYI -' Jackie Sparks tunes in on the latest news of The world while Harry Lees and Bernice Morgan follow the commentator on map and in book. SOCIAL SCIENCE ,fl ff: ll . QS S 'E' The high school student of today finds an op- portunity to make a diversified study of the world in which he lives and the influence of the individual upon the development of civilization. As a student of history he may study Europe from the ancient times to the present, then turn to the building of a democracy and its particular problems as he surveys the development of his own country. It one desires further study of the Social Sciences in certain special fields, he may select Latin America, England, Government, Interna- tional Relations, Psychology, Sociology, Economics and Geography. Thus by means of the Social Sciences one may survey those subjects which will broaden his hori- zon, deepen his understanding, and challenge his thinking concerning his obligations as a citizen of his nation an dof the world. INDUSTRIAL ARTS The two boys busy over a drawing board are characteristic of the all-out for war attitude of the Industrial arts depart- ment. Metal work, woodwork, electricity, auto mechanics, welding, radio, printing, carpentry, mechanical drawing, engi- neering drawing and crafstmanship are the courses offered with some fundamentals of aeronautics. Boys ga directly from the school shops into jobs. Ap- prenticed carpenters who have completed courses here are draw- ing a dollar an hour for their services. CHHS welders hold gov- ernment jobs in the airplane factories and defense plants all across the nation, drawing salaries of from a dollar an hour to as high as S300 a month, Several members of this year's class already have their defense jobs waiting for them. Electricity and radio technicians from CHHS are drawing from SIZS to S350 a month in the service and draughtsmen and architects are in constant demand, By the term engineering drawing is meant drawing, as used in the industrial world by engineers and designers as the language in which is expressed and recorded the ideas and in- formation necessary for the building of machines and struc- tures, and essential to any person connected with or interested in the technical industries. ln fact, it often is the skills and information acquired in shops courses that decides who shall become a foreman or superintendent or who shall remain in the same old place with little prospect of advancement. Teachers in the department are A. E. Phillips, D, F.. Cooley Leslie Sayre, E. A. Hardy and Elizabeth Coulson Wilkins. ll fo ,gui ff -H I 753 ' ff-7' M X ' 6 5. U .4 L1 ll Gertrude, the shop's cat.

Flying fingers quick minds-directed by sharply trained eyes-that's the business education department of Capitol Hill Senior High School. ln an economy such as the one which we find ourselves, the demand for highly trained workers is increasing daily. For that reason two hundred and fifty young people are work- ing each day to the end that they will find a place in our modern civilization where they can serve, live happily, and find an outlet for individual aggressiveness. Business Education naturally brings to mind specializa- tion in such fields as stenography, bookkeeping and account- ing, office practice and similar subjects, integrated with commercial law, penmanship and spelling, business arith- metic and business English. As the carpenter of today speeds his production with the aid of machines, so does the business worker. Related instruc- tion concerning the duplicator, machine calculating, machine record keeping is available to the prospective business student. These future business workers are receiving their train- ing from a specialized staff of instructors made up of: Mrs. Anne Coyner, Waldo Geis, Mrs. Bernice Hurt, F, A. Kim- brough, John Miskovsky, Mrs. Gladys Peltier, Finis Rippee, Miss Maxine Schlitt and Mrs, Marjorie Terry. I ARTS Mathematics for military science, shops for civilian defense, but fine arts for morale, That's what school men and women all over the country are preaching backed by the psychiatrists of the nation. For a nation at war must not lose sight of two important things. The fighting forces and the folk at home must find relaxation in the aesthetic and relief in playin order to keep up the fine white fire of war. And, after the war is over and the nation vic- torious, those arts must still be alive from which to kindle new fires of progress, spiritual, economic and social, This then is the service offered by the fine arts department of Cl-ll-lS. Band and orchestra are directed by T, A, Patterson, Pat to stu- dents and teachers alike. And this year at the Enid TrifState Carnival the bandwalked off with first place. Choir and choruses are directed by O. V. Houschildt. Capitol l-lill's a cappella choir was the first one organized in an Oklahoma City high school. The art department, which of- I n 4 I , X i V Eff .QQ I a 'tml .4 Qi' fers costume design and interior decoration in addition to regular art course, is taught by Miss Dorothy Mayes.

The work of producing a yearbook is arduous, Therefore it seems wholly fitting and proper in the concluding pages of The Chieftain to give credit where credit is due. Manned by a wholesome staff, some students emerge at the end of a holocaust like a typhoon or an annual, as outstanding in their loyalty and fidelity. Elaine Sullivan was elected editor-in-chief. John Steele was business man- ager and put across the advance sales and the athletic and organi- zation aueen contests. A Chieftain dance at the YWCA, sponsored by the staff, added further funds to the exchequer. Ed Brown and Marguerite Fischel, with Steele, made up the original annual committee from the Senior class. Bob Willoughby handled depart- mental information. Ve Ree Lee did the serious art work and Bill Dorris and Bernice Bryant did the cartoons. Cola Menefee was on the art committee too. Ellen Smith was high salesman for the year book, turning in more than fifty subscriptions. John Chaffin practically got a frozen pan from chasing photographers all over CHHS's twenty-two acre campus. Levita Potter was sophomore editor. Jack Lee helped with clubs. Hugh Hardy not only contacted the musical organizations but bought the first year- book subscription with ZOO pennies carefully saved in an old shaving kit. The shaving kit became the official depository for Chieftain funds. Opal Barker was chief-keeper-of-the-records and checker-of-subscriptions. Betty Cleveland repre- sented girls' athletics. Mary Wanda Venable looked after the senior pic- tures and Dorris Daugherty did any kind of an odd job anybody asked her to get done. Richard Peddycoart did a nice job with athletics. And then there was one more member of the staff. She sort-of happened into the job. With a pencil stuck through her hair, a smear of printers' ink on her nose, and a delightful sense of humor, she took over the tasks nobody else wanted to do, She waded through eight cans of rubber cement, pasting down pictures. She checked names in office files, she pg- tiently took dictation from every member of the staff who had something that just had to be typed today. She overlooked the vagaries of the sponsor. She could rescue the yearbook dummy from a curious sophomore without the sophomore realizing that there was motive in her gesture.
