.- L The Rev. Michael Martin, Headmaster 1947-1952 Class Hustorq Once upon a time there was an old fort, by name, Fort Casady. It was located in central Oklahoma, set apart from civilization, and sur- rounded by savage hordes of Indians. At the pleading cry for more people, our first trailblazers donned their buckskins and began the long trek. In '47 Richard Nettles, originator of the Girl of the Month Club, left his prize haven for a five-year stay. Long Tom Harmon then saun- tered in and took his post at the chapel door. Up rode Charles Garrison, dismounted, threw away his lollipop, drew his six-guns and savagely signed Jiggy Cin leadl on the dotted line. At last we were getting the kind of men we wanted. We can't exactly explain how this next charac- ter arrived. All we saw, after the dust had cleared, was City Boy step out of Hall's Horseless Carriage. He came from Northeast - in ZZ minutes. In bounced Bubb1ing Bob Lingenfelter , in time for lunch, and took his part on the rampart. DeVan Sharbrough staggered in and took charge of the Wampum dealings in the school store. From Switzerland came Chris Brauchli, with his moun- tain climbing equipment which he used to scale the pennacles of academic success. In '48 two more were added. Into the gates meandered a long drink of water who called himself George Records, the young giant. He was looking for a thirsty girl, but joined our small band of defenders. Davis jenkins ran all the way from Harding, beating off the Indians with his slide rule. '49 saw the 'Brains'of the outfit arrive. Judy Ames, arrived with a raft of blue books, teamed up with Elsie Paulus to give the male factions of the 'Fort' a lesson on scholarships. Harrison, I killed a b'ar on the spot Hayes entered the stockade to add a badly needed touch of dignity. Receiving the Bishops Bronze Cheevi- sate Medal at Classen. Bob Brazelton decided to try for the Golden Sideline Marker Award given exclusively at Casady. As to the success of his endeavor you will have to ask him. The next year saw the last of our recruits. Joe Obering arrived from Detroit with high hopes of starting a revolution inside the fort. It fell through but he stayed over. At mid-year we heard, Hold'everything, the All-American boy is com- ing, and in strode Pat Hyde, still clutching his Phi Lambda pin and his box of Wheaties. Thus the class of '52, as this group is now called, signed on to hold down the fort.
