We believe that each phase in the develop- ment of the Casady student should be equally stressed, whether it be lnstructional, Organiza- tional, or Physical. The first result of the pro- gram of expansion, inaugurated in l955, mater- ialized this year in the form of our Physical Education Plant. With this addition, the physi- cal life of Casady attains the same level as its 5. ui -P 'I c n 2. o : 2 Q :J cc o '1 no Q E N Q 2. o :s o 1- llllltll .4- f '- ' 4 , ri A iff -XY-4q1.iS6l',t'f.f'. 41? fi i'li il If wif- .

Connolly, Mr. Clifford L. Frates, Mr. Frank J. Hightower, Mr. Donald S. Kennedy, Mr. Edward H. Miller, Mr. Vjilliam P. Morrison, The Rt. Rev. Chilton Powell, Mr. Charles R. Walbert. The chief concern of the Board during the past year has been financial. The money was raised for the buildings through a private fund-raising organi- zation. However, more money will be needed. The gym has been the material feature this year. lt has been in great demand during the past and is certain- ly a welcome sight now. lts modern facilities and the beauty of the building itself will add much to school activities. As Casady grows the need for more buildings increases. The next big step in this building program is the plans for the elementary school. This is not only to be a help to Casady, but also to the impera- tive needs of the community. lt will provide its students with a better foundation to meet Casady's high school requirements. Many parents also want a better and more advanced elementary school for ...10.- their children. The library is to follow the elemen- tary school and it, in turn, will be followed by the installation of the new organ, given to the school by Mr. Reginald Auchincloss. The scholarship program has been an important proiect this year, too. There are, at present, twenty- three students on scholarships at Casady. The more the scholarship program can be enlarged, the stron- ger the school will be. One of the greatest problems, however, involves the faculty. We need a good retirement program, an annual salary increase, and possibly a means to furnish summer employment. We are exceptionally pleased with the fine iob the Board has done this year and we know that they will continue to do as well in the future. Dads' Club The Casady Dads' Club, which was organized in the fall ofl954 to further the interests of the school in anyway it could, has undertaken one main proiect this year. lt is to install lights on the football field so that night games may be played at home. This proiect was originally started in the spring of l955, but because of the construction of the new gym, it was necessarily delayed. The Dads' Club felt that lighting the football field would be the most worth- while proiect they could undertake at this time, and that it would have the most benefit to the greatest number of people. Construction is expected to get under way sometime late this spring or early sum- mer in order that the lights be ready for next fall. Ralph Bolen, chairman of the Clubs AYl1letiC COIN' mittee, is in charge of the proiect. ln addition to lighting the football field, the Dads' Club has been active in studying means of promoting better public relations for the school, and in bringing about better understanding between students, faculty and parents. It has also under- written several smaller proiects such as paying for filming several football games this past season. Any father who has a son or daughter at Casady is invited to become a member of the Casady Dads' Club and nearly all of them are. Dues are 5l0.00 a year and all money is used to help the school. Of- ficers of the Club for the past year were: Lowe Runkle, president, John Nichols, vice-president, Kenneth Ellison, treasurer, Dr. Charles Wilson, secretary, Directors are: Del Rentzel, O. K. Butler, Dr. Wm. lshmael, Dr. Fred Hood, Ralph Bolen, Glenn Clark, Kenneth Draper, Tony Calvert, Howard Glasgow, J. S. Montgomery and Robert Spahn.

The Right Reverend Thomas Casady The Right Reverend Thomas Casady, D.D., S.T.D., secrated the 3rd Missionary Bishop of the Missionary Oklahoma on October 2, T927. ln l937, Oklahoma diocese. For 26 years, before his retirement on .lune he lead the Episcopal church and left it strong in was con- District of became a 6th, l953, the faith. ln i946 he expressed his desire for a church school, repre- senting the cultural and spiritual standards of the Episcopal church. This was the foundation of Casady. Bishop Casady was a member of the Board of Trustees from T947 to l954, at which time he became Trustee Emeritus. From i952 to the spring of 1954, he Served as our school chaplain, coming each morning for the 8:30 service. Only his severely failing sight forced him to drop his responsibilities as our chaplain. The informality of his talks in Chapel proved in- spirational to each of us. His wisdom and concern for us set an example which we all should follow. Since his retirement he has returned to Casady for several morning services. We are all very proud of Bishop Casady for whom our school is named, we are proud of him as the founder of our school, we are grateful to him for his spiritual leadership and his pioneer- ing couiogep we appreciate his genuine friendship. We wish him the best of luck in his well deserved retirement. The Right Reverend Chilton Powell The Rt. Rev. Chilton Powell has been doing an excellent job for the benefit of Casady School since he was consecrated as the Bishop of Oklahoma. Not only does he take an interest in the school by being an important member of the Board of Trus- tees, but also in our Chapel services. The School is interested in developing the religious spirit of the students, the kind of spirit which binds person to person and all to God. ln this broad, yet important sense, Casady is a Church School in which the students are able to achieve a more mature way of life on the campus, at home, and in the commun- ity. Because ofhis leadership, the students hold Bishop Powell as a great guide for their spiritual life. -12-- FHCUII ln the spring of l952, Casady was informed that it was to have a new headmaster, Shaun Kelly, Jr. He was coming to us after four years of experience as headmaster of Woodberry Forest School in Virginia. ln the last year, Mr. Kelly has participated in the wel- fare of groups outside of the school. He is on the member- ship committee of the development board of the Y.M.C.A., and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma Symphony Society. A member ot the Headmasters' ASS0Ci- Gfion, Q member gf the Country Day School Headmasters' Association, Mr. Kelly is also on the executive committee of the National Council of Independent Schools, and the Board of Trustees of the Council on Religion of lndepen- dent Schools. All of us are proud of the progress of Casody under the leadership of Mr. Kelly. We are fully aware of his ability as a teacher, counselor and friend. We wish him every blessing in the important task which he has undertaken. We know he will further Casady in the field ot education, and continue to develop his students for the responsibili- ties of life. i ,gem-sf - ' x .e- Q K 5 HOWARD TABER, Assistant Headmaster SHAUN KELLY, JR., HEADMASTER Mr. Taber arrived at Casady School six years ago to head the Mathematics Department. A graduate of Yale University, where he received his B.S. and M.A. degrees in Mathematics, he is now also the assistant headmaster of the school, and does an excellent iob. Mr. Taber has always provided the student body and thefaculty with many laughs from his repertoire ot stories which always helps to keep the school spirit high. His classes are an experience for every student, because he never fails to laugh at a ioke or to come back with one of his originals. His col- lection of mathematical puzzles are an excellent example of his youthful spirit, these puzzles not only keep students guessing, but also some of the faculty. As far as sports are concerned he is the coach of the track squad, as well as an outstanding soccer player. He also coaches one of the intra- mural tootball teams. His bubbling personality and boundless energy have been the start ot many successful proiects for the school. The zeal and determination which he infuses into all he does has been the reason for their great success. Mr. Taber is an inspiration to the students and the faculty and we hope that his leadership and understanding will be with us at Casady for many years to come. KMRSJ GLORIA WALKER University of Oklahoma B.S. Dean of Girls Mrs. Walker has two great spheres of activity. At school she must cope with waxing maidens who have recently shown a marked predelic- tion for chewing gum, ditching afternoon ex- ercise, and getting married. At home she must cope with Herrmann and William, and it is difficult to tell which is more taxing. At all times, however, she seems to have the situa- tion well in hand. SAM BOTKIN Oklahoma A and M B.A. University of Chicago M.A. University of Oklahoma Bible Chaplain Advisor of Newspaper Mr. Botkin arrived this year to assume the position of first full-time Chaplain at Casady School. ln addition tothese duties he has made numerous contributions toward the better or- ganization of extra-curricular activities. ln addition to serving as newspaper advisor Mr. Botkin has been the guiding spirit in the forming of the lower school boys Pep Club. ARTHUR GIBSON Oklahoma City University B.A. Oklahoma University M.A. Driver's Training Athletic Director The arrival of Mr. Gibson has infused new life into the Casady athletic program. During the short time that he has been with us he has reorganized the entire sports program so that it functions both smoothly and efficiently, and he is never without constructive ideas for the betterment of the student body as a whole. His calm and even disposition is always in evidence even in his dealings with referees at basketball games. -14... untrue! vllltlllv I ISUIDIG FRANCIS BLOODGOOD University of Wisconsin B.A. University of Oklahoma English, Head of English Department Registrar Mr. Bloodgood is the histrionic marvel of Casady whose appearances with the Mayde- Mack Mummers have spread his reputation throughout the length and breadth of Nichols Hills. Also a director of no mean ability, we are indebted to Mr. Bloodgood that some of the great Irish tragedies have been less tragic than they might otherwise have been. He is also a champion of culture and gentility, and it is due entirely to him that Marilyn Mee now detests gum chewing. GEORGE WHITNEY Harvard University B.A. Harvard University L.L.B. History, Math Head of History Department Baseball Coach, Assistant Coach of Football To this gentle, soft-spoken admirer of Andrew Jackson and Harry S. Truman we are indebted for knowledge of the History of our Country and other miscellaneous information. Mr. Whitney is also a sort of Father Confessor to the young maidens of the Tenth Grade who can be seen daily, gathered about his desk like pigeons at feeding time. SAMUEL POWERS Dartmouth College B.A. Harvard University M.A. Latin Head of Language Department Chairman of Committee of Advisors A gentleman of diverse interests and talents, Mr. Powers has done much to arouse in us a love and appreciation of the classics. Al- though of a placid nature, he has been known to erupt, like Vesuvius, every two hundred years. We also never cease to marvel at his ability to fold himself up and roll away in that midget Morris. WILLIAM WALKER Williams College B.A. Harvard University Ed M. Biology, Chemistr , Drama Head of Science lgepartment Mr. Walker, the Cecil B. DeMille of Casady, has a secret life, but it isn't a secret any more. He is a trainer for Herrmann, his wife's prize bull dog. When not engrossed in the preparation ofa dramatic spectacular or giving Herrmann the air, Mr. Walker may be found in the Science building tending his mice or pre- ventigng the Eleventh Grade from atomizing itse . PETER AREND University of Colorado B.A. University of Southern California Ancient History Tennis Coach Mr. Arend is Oenmark's answer to Lend-Lease and his arrival at Cas- ady has helped to convince many that foreignaid should be terminated immediately. A man of parts, Mr. Arend is a fountain of wisdom, a connoisseur of beauty, a teacher of history, and, in his youth, a fair tennis player. We sincerely regret his departure and envy Hollywood its acquisition. That town will sure- ly never be the same- MR. THEODORE BRADLEY Harvard University B.A. New Hampshire M. Ed. English Headmaster of Elementary School Mr. Bradley was lured to the plains of Oklahoma from the rarified at- mosphere of the Harvard Campus. The bait was the proposed Casady Elementary School. We are pleased that the Elementary School will ma- terialize next year and we regret only that it will remove Mr. Bradley from our immediate proximity. BAYARD AUCHINCLOSS Harvard University B.A. Westminster Choir College- Elementary Science, Choir Head of Music Mr. Auchincloss, Orpheus's personal representative at Casady, has done wonders to make even the tone-deaf among us conscious of the beauty of good music. lf he has not entirely succeeded, he is not at fault. lt is simply that too many of us who are not tone-deafare lust not conscious. Most commendable are Uncle Bay- ard's efforts in promoting hobbies among the younger students. ROBERT W. GERICKE Columbia B.A. Columbia M.A. History and German Yearbook Advisor Poor Father Gericke is one of those benighted souls who has yet to learn the value of local life. He still prefers to sit at home in the evening, smoking an Uppmann Ha- vana and sipping Gumpoldskirchner 48 , while reading Goethe or lis- tening to Mozart or Schubert. Oh well, we suppose there is one on every faculty. -16- MRS. THEODORE BRADLEY University of Maine Reading Mrs. Bradley was lured to the plains of Oklahoma from the rarified atmos phere of the Maine Campus by he husband who came to head the Ele mentary School. Mrs. Bradley has done an excellent job in assisting those of us who can't read and i she should leave us next year fo the Elementary School some of us never will. lMRS-i FRANCES NAGLE University of Oklahoma B.A. University of Oklahoma M.A. University of Wisconsin English That Allen Hall still stands on its foundation is due in no small part to the efforts of Mrs. Nagle, who fights the good but seemingly hope- less fight in behalf of law and order in Casady's Siberia. We remember especially her pleasant manner while dispensing after-lunch coffee, without which afternoon classes would have been an even greater chore. SYS: Middlebury B.A. University of Grenoble Sorbonne French Head of Dining Hall Do you recognize the kindly old gentleman whose paternal interest and infinite patience have seen us through the last year of French? We bet you don't, for we have in mind none other than Mr. Nicholson who is NOT an old man. And it is due entirely to Mr. Nicholson that the Casady Dining Hall has been over- looked by Duncan Hines. EDWARD SLOAN University of Wisconsin B.S. English, Art Advisor to Camera Club The leader of the Casady avant- gardist minority of one is Mr. Sloan, surrealistfcubist, impressionist and eclecticist all rolled into one. He is also a photographer of unusual ability whose pictures have won numerous prizes. His talent and cooperation have been a God-send in the preparation of this tome. TOWNSEND RAWLINS Princeton B.A. Columbia University Latin Mr. Rawlins, the Flushing Cicero, after a brief hiatus at Princeton, arrived at Casady quite by mistake. lt seems he confused the Turner Turnpike with the Appian Way and a hasty glance at the Capitol con- vinced him that he had reached the Eternal City. Three years at Casady have now conditioned him for the fall of almost anything. MARGARET TUCK University of Massachusetts B.S. Queens College Columbia University of Maryland Oklahoma City University Math, English, Physics Mrs. Tuck, the Czarina ot the after- noon gfudy halls, holds imperious sway over her cringing subiects. Her iron rule is not without benefit, for the little demons under it are gradually learning to study in study hall, for many a very novel idea. We Seniors are especially appreciative of Mrs. Tuck's enlightened despo- tism in our tenth grade year for, in some cases, it enabled us to be- come Seniors . . . ..171 RANDOLPH SHARP Trinity College B.S. Math Our mathematician from Nantucket, Mr. Sharp, has a life unknown to most of his students, for he is an ardent sailor and fisherman who spends most of the summer in pur- suit of the denizens of the deep. As a coach of the soccor team he helps to inspire it wherever it hap- pens to be going. Football and base- ball also get fair share of Mr. Sl'urp's attention. fa' GILBERT TUCK Union College B.A. Harvard University M.A. New York State College for Teachers Middlebury College University of Paris Spanish, French Head of text book store The Casady Matador, Mr. Gilbert Tuck, would seem to be the local authority on bullfighting - with real bulls! A Mexicanophil of rare knowledge, he can be easily led astray to digress upon lite south of the border with zestand enthusiasm. Nor must we overlook his enduring patience while initiating even his most obtuse students into the mys- teries of the Romance languages. BURRAGE WARNER Harvard University B.A. Harvard University Ed. M. Math Advisor to Bird Club Mr. Warner, it would appear, is the faculty dead-pan. He laughs at nothing, unless it is funny. Then an explosiveguffaw escapes him which would be hard to duplicate these days in the Chem lab. Mr. Warner, we may add, is the nattiest dresser on the faculty. Decked out in his bright red vest and plaid tie he can be seen from Capitol Hill on a foggy night. MRS. CLAUDIA M. CHAPMAN Financial Secretary MRS. DORTHEA GENTRY . MRS.

His philosophyof life would seem to be living speedily, loving not so speedily, and sleeping, sound and long. This outlook, plus a general optimism, should fit him well for a sparkling career as an indus- trious anchor-clanker . GEORGE BARRY Varsity Football '55 Football Manager '56 Choir '55, '56 Twister' General Staff Georgie Porgie, Casady's answer to Milton Berle, impresses the class with his charming smile and nose for news.

MARY ANN BUTCHER Choir '56 Gales '56 Twister General Staff '56 Crier Circulation '56 Dramatics '56 Butch has electrified the Seniors by her suave sophistication which she final- ly centered around the circulation de- partment of the Casady Crier.

JOHN COAT ES KENNETH BINDER Class of I95 Wherever the juniors are you can bet there is excitement. All you have to do for proof of this is to walk down the halls, into the lab, or on to the sports field. But with the fun comes leader- ship. We take part in every phase of school life. We are well repre- sented on the Student Council by Bob Thach and Johnny Bozalis, who is the secretary. Mark Connol- ly was given the Most lmproved Lineman Award at the Annual Foot- ball Banquet for his excellent job of centering. As roof of their dili- gence and skill Bert Messenbaugh and Johnny Bozalis have been chosen co-captains of the '57 foot- ball squad. Ken Binder was seen at the mid-stripe of the basketball court as he and a senior represen- ted the team in the capacity of co- captains, and Sylvia Glasgow and Sharon Brown did a rousing job of leading cheers at the games. ln girls' sports Nancy Lamb, Phyllis Johnson and Sperry Jones were constantly exerting their energies against our rivals. Pat O'Donoghue with the aid of his staff did an outstanding job, in the time consuming task as Editor, of expanding and improving the Crier, while Max Weitzenhoffer helped out as the 'shutter bug' of the paper. Lending their voices to the choir were Gail Little, Judy Jones, John Draper and Bill Bon- ney. If there were a contest for the friendliest girl we're sure Vir- ginia Gill would win it. We don't want to fail to mention Layton Runkle who made his acting debut in The Dear Departed, our 'prima donnan, Linda Griffing, and the back stage hand, Ben Turner. The last two have been 'card car- riers' of the Dramatics Club for a long time. Judy Johnston had a hard time deciding every morning whether to drive her new air-conditioned Mer- cury, or the T-Bird, and Sergeant Hud traded his dog team and sled in for a Fordomatic Truck, fthe better to haul mermaids inj. Unfor- gettables are the 'witty and uncul- tured' puns of Mac Owen, the per- fect character sketches by Mary Edwards QMEJ of Mr. - -, and the absentmindness of Pat Nagle. lHe even forgot to come to class one dayj. We also acquired two female additions, Sharon Dooley and Pat Kelso, who added beauty to our class. The 'steady guy', John Coates, came back to Casady and Dick Wright joined us during the second semester. Last but not least is the tribute to Linda Adams who was absent this year on sick leave. Even though we haven't been the best junior class, we're well on our way to becoming one of the best senior classes at Casady.

BARBARA BRADLEY BARBARA BENHAM KAY BINGHAM FRANK BOLEN Class of I958 Another Casady year and as each one comes and goes, our class be- comes a more clearly defined per- sonality! An addition to our school! We contributed five lettermen - Larry Brown, David Clark, Gordon Rainey, Bill Swinford, and Roy Williams. Swinford distinguished himself in football, making the Little All City, All Conference, and the Most Valuable Lineman Award. Larry Brown made All Con- ference and the Most Improved Back Award. Basketball found the tenth grade boys out in strong force with Rainey and Williams making the 'A' squad. Our red shirted L.P's did an outstanding job in sports this year, ably managed by Marcia McGee. Linda Petree, Diane Dawson, MQ,-. tha Nagle and Sue Ann Snetcher sparked in Hockey and Soccer, Spirit and determination have kept us fighting hard in the Intramurals. As for the entertainment field, Dodge Hill, the tenth grade comed- ian and drummer, kept the school in hysterics when he played the leading roll in 'The Crimson Co- coanut . For the first time in Cas- ady's history, the Sophomore Class inaugurated a 'Match Me Hop , spearheaded by Diane Dawson, .lack Street, Alan Davis, and Su- ellen Senter. There's nothing wrong with THIS Tenth Grade! Go! Go! Gol, but please, not in circles! LARRY BROWN JONATHAN BURCH DAVID CLARK -57..

This has been a year that few of us will forget. We will remember it for a number of reasons. lt will be remembered as our first year in the upper school. Another thing that will keep it fresh in our minds is that this is the first year that we knew Mary Ellen Hammond, Mike Lisle, Di- ana Bachrach, Eliot Stanley, Cristopher Hopps, and Harry Wolo- hon. The gain of these five people has helped to make up for the loss of Kate Abbott andAlmeta Haggard. l'm sure that the boys will re- member this year as one of victory. The six ninth grade boys on the Varsity Football team were a great asset to it. Undoubtedly the nine freshmen on the Varsity's B team will remember the game with Hard- ing's 'B' team. We won that game 35 to 6. Another great victory was when the Junior Varsity beat our old rivals, St. Mark's, 27 to 0. The twenty-two ninth graders on the .l.V. team were certainly doing all right that day! Football is not our boys only calling, though. There are twelve freshmen on the Varsity Soccer team. The freshman girls have not faired badly this year. Betsy Savage, Martha Bell, and Carol Hood were named to the White Team of the Girls' Soccer All Stars . Diane Howard and Betsy Savage represent- ed our class on the White Team of the girls' Volleyball All Stars' This means that almost one-fourth of the girls have been placed on an 'All Star team. ln Archery, the ninth grade placed 3rd in the intra- mural contests, in Volleyball they were 4th, and they were 3rd in Soccer. We were ably represented in the Casady School Little Theatre by four of the girls from our grade. Our class is not all brawn and no brains, though. Holding up the academic end of our class, we have Nina Wade-Dalton, Tom Barnard, and Ronal Bonebrake. However, we do not get so buried in our books and sports that we forget to have fun. There are always iokes and wisecracks flying around the class of '59. We have many young George Gobels in our class. Extra curricular activities included for the first time this year a Fresh- man Girls Glee Club. Eliot Stanley has proven to be an able president of the Bird Club. The new Science Club has three freshman represen- tatives. Although this has been a year to remember, we are looking forward to three more years at Casady which will be even more memorable, as Time Marches On .

We are a class that contains wise-crackers, pop-offs, and gum-chewers who are capable of getting in the teacher's hair. Also we have many versatile members who can do anything from starring in a football game to winning top scholastic honors. Our class would not be the same without the droll tongue of Bill Robertson, and the constant chatter of Rawson Bucher. The sparkling personalities of Laura Parrish and Jan Paschal are greatly admired. Watching Linda Bass blush brings much enjoyment to her classmates. Nancy Adams is the cutest genius we've ever met. One of our more intelligent individuals is Jim Street, who also is our Student Council representative. With Jim Street, Nancy Adams, Tom Parker, Gaye Anthony, Laura Parrish, Sally Ames, Jan Paschal, and Bill Thompson making the academic honor roll first semester, our class is making out- standing scholastic achievements. This year's eighth grade has welcomed newcomers David Blair, Nancy Burch, David Stinchcomb, Bill Thompson, Mary Glenn Yeary, and David Hopps. These and others have made the class of 1960 an integral part of Casady School.

Of course, this class is as well rounded as any other class at Casady. Take the honor roll for example. On thisthere are such scholars as Virginia Thomas, Beth Kennedy, Genie Stanley, Kerry Roach, Eddie Allen, and many other future possibilities. When considering the Bird Club, one can detect great enthusiasm coming from such people as Nick Wilson and Carol Moore. Another achievement of this grade has appeared in sports. With the help of such players as Lance Rentzel and Eddie Allen, the seventh grade team was able to beat the eighth grade team. The girls, although they had never played soccer before, were able to tie the seniors once. Sharon Butler and Marilyn Swan were the stars of the team. Peter Russo did a fine iob representing his class on the Student Council. He and Petrina are the first set of twins ever to attend Casady. As a whole, this grade works when it is time to work. Yet, when it's time to play, they don't waste any time! Just watch them at the Casady dances! The members of this class give an up-and-coming example of the elements needed to make a good Casady class. We have enioyed this year tremendously and look forward to the many more enioyable years at Casady. EDDY ALLEN MIKE BEALS MARGUERITE BLEYBERG GARY BLOOM J V5 1?

It has begun to spon- sor school activities. A soft drinks machine was installed to the satisfaction of both the student and faculty. For the first time, the council exercised its authority over other school organizations by awarding concession booths to the most deserving organizations at the Casady Country Carnival. Other items also sponsored were supporting Cho Bong Cook, a Korean boy whom the school has adopted , and donating Christmas presents to a local orphan- age. The Council has made great success reiuvenat- ing its spirit. It hopes that in the future prestige rather than mockery will be associated with its name. The perennial problem of acting as a func- tioning group for the good of the school rather than as a figurehead has been its main concern this past year. In trying to map this problem out, it ap- pointed four influential students from each grade to meet with their representative to discuss ways to better the relationship between the student body and the Student Council.

This association is a nation- wide organization whose membership is made up of school papers. The association offers a critical service. This means that a group of expert newspaper men will grade the member papers and evaluate each section of them. However, the main purpose for ioining this association is to make use of the informative arti- cles and new ideas on journalism which the group supplies to its members. Joining this association is a step in line with the policy of this year's Crier. The Crier has tried to improve its quality in many ways and, although still in the process of evolution, has made great changes. The paper has been enlarged so thattwice as much material appears in it. The Crier has increased its number of issues from 8 to 16 and the number of subscribers has been doubled. Included in the new subscribers are all of Casady's alumni, the student body, and many people interested in the school. The advertising has been quadrupled as a matter of necessity, since the paper is in no way school subsidized. Their improvements along with continued mem- bership in the Oklahoma lnterscholastic Press As- sociation and the preparation for the first items of a style book to standardize grammar and punctua- tion are some of the other obiects to make the Crier a more informative and interesting paper to its readers.

Honorary Journalistic Club Accepts CRIER as Member The Crier has been granted permission to form a chapter of Quill and Scroll at Casady. This is an international honorary society for high school iour- nalists specifically designed to honor individual work on high school publications. Two national movements grew from the universal interest in iournalism in the l92O's. First, press associations such as the National Scholastic Press Association, of which the Crier is a member, were organized on a coast to coast scale. Second, hon- orary iournalism societies such as Quill and Scroll were formed to reward individual achievement. The first type of organization serves the staff by judging its work as a whole. The other kind, repre- sented by Quill and Scroll, serves the individual staff member by recognizing and rewarding his particular talent and abil ity. When a student becomes a member of the Quill and Scroll society, he ioins an international organ- ization, which lists on its rosters such honorary members as Robert Frost, David Lawrence, and John Hersey. ln addition to rewarding an individual for meritorious work this nonprofit corporation gives S500 iournalism scholarships to a select number of candidates each spring. ln order to become a member of Quill and Scroll, a student must pass the following requirements. First, he must be at least a iunior in high school. Second, he must be in the upper third of his class in general scholastic standing at the time of his election. Third, he must have done superior work in some field of iournalism. Fourth, he must be re- commended by the adviser or the committee govern- ing publications. Fifth, he must be approved by the executive secretary of Quill and Scroll. Quill and Scroll also offers two non-member awards to cover deserving service on the part of staff members who cannot meet the requirements of the society in one way or another. The staff merit certificate is awarded to make-up men, solicitors and other non-writers, and the silver creative writ- ing key to reporters and editors. NJXIFEIK RECEIVES LIEYUIIEU Criticism on Early Issues This year for the first time the Crier entered both the National Scholastic Press Association's and the Oklahoma lnterscholastic Press Association's critical contests. ln the NSPA's first semester con- test, the Crier was given second class honor rating. ln statewide competition, the Crier was placed in the OlPA's second highest qualification, with honors . The newspapers are graded by the organizations in six maior sections: content, department pages, make-up, heads and printing, and photography. The Crier's coverage was rated slightly above very good . The iudges felt that the Crier had 'good local news coverage and systematized alumni coverage , but lacked interpretative articles about education and the academic side of school life. They also criticized the newspaper for not follow- ing up all its feature opportunities. The Crier received its highest ranking in the con- test section chiefly because of well-written news stories and consistent style. The iudges said that the Crier's leads ffirst paragraphs in each storyl were 'rather drawn-out' and instructed the news- paper to say what needs to be said in summarizing a story and to say it briefly and colorfully.' A high ranking on the editorial section boosted the Crier to a very good' rating on the departmen- tal division. The newspaper's editorials were rated superior and the iudges said they indicated the maturing iudgment of the editors. The Crier's writ- ing was also praised by Leonard Jackson, winner of the Haywood Braun Award, who commented that generally speaking, writing in this paper, particu- larly in the editorials and the play review, was mature avoiding the Pollyanna approach so many high school papers like.' The Crier's features were criticized as not being of school-wide interest and not being varied as to subiect matters. The gossip columns were attacked as being total waste of time and effort. The Crier's sports' department was criticized because it re- ported at length on past contest instead of creating interest in future games. The NSPA iudge, said that sports coverage should be well organized rather than scattered through the paper.' The Crier's make-up was rated a whole class lower than the literary side of the newspaper. Crier make-up was criticized on not being bright and lively enough, and also of being weak and unattrac- tive in sundry areas. ln order to evaluate these criticisms it is impor- tant to remember that only the first four issues of the Crier were iudged in these contests.

It has been under the able guidance of Barney Stewart, President, Kent Frates, Vice-President, and Jay Russell, Secre- tary-Treasurer. A major policy concerning lettering was de- cided upon this year. lt was the classification of maior sports as football, basketball, and base- ball. The remaining sports to he classified as minor sports. A boy let: 1 o ininor sport on the recommendation of his c th. le then has the right to a letter Sweater ' on fhici his sport isdesignated. lt someone is consiac redoutstand- ing in one of the minor sports, he is recommended for a maior letter. If accepted by a 3f4 vote of the C Club, he then is allowed the privileges of the major letterman. It is the hope of the school athletic committee and the C Club that this policy will give recognition to the minor sports and, at the same time, keep the UC' Club an organization whose membership requires hard worlc. It is certain that the C Club will continue to grow and promote further recognition for the school through its policies of good will and sportsmanship. 4' A? . N , ,64- .

Members of the White Eagles look forward to much activity in supporting the varsity teams. Composed of boys in the lower school and sponsored by Samuel L. Botkin, the Eagles ed the varsity team onto the field at home games. ln addition to this, the Eagles pre- sented games of their own during halftime to Heading the new club in its first year was Jimmy Street, eighth grader. Relying on Upper School girls such as Odelia Russo for coach- ing, Street rounded up a cheer leading corps which included Dan Tubb, Dee Replogle, Eddie Allen, Lance Rentzel, and Jimmy Brad- ley. None of the leaders had had previous experience but all of them showed develop- ment during the football season.

The Gales The Gales' i956 career started off with a style show for ll the pep clubs of the city, given the latter part of the sum- mer, by Brown's Department Store. The Gales were represent- ed by Jo Ann Davidor and Odelia Russo. As the school year began, the Gales experienced some ad- ustments in organization. The thought behind these changes was to organize different committees so that the work and re- sponsibility would be distributed. The Executive Commit- ee, which discussed club problems, and suggested and .lanned activities, was one of the most important committees. During the football season, with Judy Johnston as the able :hairman, a concession stand was set up. The Gales are grateful to Mr. Walker for the construction of the stand. The ncome from this stand enabled the Gales to buy silver foot- xalls which were awarded, at the banquet given in December, 'o all lettermen. Sally Herrmann was the chairman of the pep assembly com- mittee which functioned during football and basketball sea- ons. Since the school was handicapped by not having home masketball games, this group tried to make everyone more ware of this sport. Although this newly established group mad its ups-and-downs, the Gales feel it was an improve- ment over the past years. Another new addition to the Gales was the wooden scrap OFFICERS b k hich was made by Mr. Walker and assembled by Nancy oo w Lamb. lt will soon be put on display.

Vice- Pre s ident The drama season of l955-56 for the Casady Lit- tle Theater began with a presentation by the facul- ty. There hasn't been one since Where the Cross is Made, by Eugene O'Neill, was produced in l952. The Male Animal, by James Thurber and Elliot Nugent, and starring Mrs. Kelly, Mr. Powers, Mr. Walker, Mr. Nicholson, and Mr. Bloodgood, was re- ceived with much enthusiasm. Although not a dra- matics club operation, it was staged with the coop- eration of the club. They succeeded in their aims of a benefit program by donating, from the proceeds, Sl,O00.00 towards the building of the new gymna- slum. As long as we are on the subiect of cooperation, I should like to mention the Operetta. Mr. Auchin- closs was extremely excited about his March 22nd and 23rd presentation of The Mikado. The staging and lighting were done by the Little Theater but all the credit for the excellent vocal work goes to Mr. Auchinclosrs and the choir. On February 2nd and 3rd, theater-goers were en- tertained by 'An Evening of Comedy' - the third annual series of one-act plays.

Joe Rountree Treasurer Gregory and directed by Mr. Botkin and Mrs. Nagle, was a comedy with a lesson. The 9th and l0th grades decided to do a 'rerun' of one of the plays put on in l952 - The Crimson Cocoanut, by lan Beith. The Dear Departed, by Stanley Houghton was chosen by Mr. Bloodgood as director of the llth and l2th grades. Under the very able direction .of Mr. Walker, the the Little Theater took Master Dudley to Edmond for the District Contest. There were a few moments of panic when Mr. Walker suddenly became ill three days before the contest but, through the wonderful cooperation of the entire cast, they were able to successfully show Mr. Walker a 'superior' rating which enabled them to take the contest to Norman for the State Contest. The cast included Mary Gor- don Ferguson, Jo Ann Davidor, Sperry Jones, Pat Kelso, and John Draper. There was a wonderful reaction to the one-act play writing contest sponsored by the Club. Seven plays were turned in out of which three were chosen, Blowing Away by Max Weitzenhoffer, Birthday Bust by Jonathon Burch, and Whenever You Are by Ann Porch. are-. Q.

The first event of the year was the annual Christmas Eve service. The choir sang sev- eral anthems besides the usual Christmas carols and hymns. The big production of the year was the Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta, The Mikado , which was presented in the spring. The principles were sunq by members of the choir and the remainder of of the choir made up the chorus. This was the first attempt at a production of this type at Casady and went off remarkably well. Each year the choir grows larger and better. The experience gained this year will help it to do even more next year. Mr. Auchincloss has been a patient and able leader, and is the sole cause for the choir's success. h I QUARTET, Left to right: Barney Stewart first h Kecilniii Beige., tenorg Bob Thach, second bassg Ben Wrighf, first Eegfedrggi bassg Bert Messenbaugh, second tenor. Naam 1355935 mr' Stamp lub Two members of the Stamp Club, John Har- rison and Nick Wilson, admire a prize collec- tion. The Stamp Club is a relatively informal organiza- tion at Casady without regular meetings. This year there were many members of the club ofwhich Eddie Allen is the president. Meetings usually take place during study hours, and the emphasis is on examin- ing new and different stamps, and enlarging the collections of the members. Stamps are procured on a non-profit basis for the members and occasional- ly auction bidding takes place in the same style as the regular commercial auctions are held. If the bidding gets out of hand, as it sometimes does, a re-auction is held in which cautionary explanations are made on how to bidl Most of the members are interested mainly in United States stamps, and in this way members are occasionally reminded of United States history commemorated on the stamps. Geography appears more often with the foreign stamps, of course, though at present concentration seems mostly to be on the many forms in which United States stamps appear: blocks, sheets, en- velopes that have been sent on the first day of issue, and interesting freaks that sometimes show up. Unfortunately due to the lack of time, the stamp activities are restricted to the lower grades, but some day it may be possible to have a stamp club for all ages in the school. Bird Club Front row, left toright: Jimmy Street, Beth Kennedy, Virginia Thomas, Petrina Rus- so, and Beverly Ed- wards. Second row, Billy Robertson, Larry Nichols, Bill lshmael, Charles Cushion, D0- vid Harden and Nick Wilson. Third row, David Stinchcomb, Chuck Freeman Elliot Stanley, Tom laarker, Allen Greer, and Mr- Warner. The Bird Club started off the year with about a dozen members. They elected Eliot Stanley presi- dent, Larry Nichols treasurer, and Bill lshmael and Allen Greer as secretaries. With all members in- volved in football, field trips didn't get under way until mid-November. These field trips were ably guided by Mr. Warner, who devoted much of his time to making them a success. ln the seventh grade, however, Mr. Auchincloss started his bird study program early and when the field trips started, the membership of the club grew tremendouslywith the addition of nearly twenty new members. For the first time, girls ioined the club to the delight of the older male members. One maior step forward this year has been closer liason with the Oklahoma City Audubon Society. This year's Christmas Census was a ioint effort and proved to be most successful. Six separate groups took the field for this venture. Alumni Phil Griffing and Wendell Long returned to lend their aid. With the larger membership, certain new problems have arisen, the maior one being to get the club into the field as often as we would like. Neverthe less, we look for continued growth and hope to sus- tain the interest of older members until the day when older boys will be able to take out their own groups. -72., group of faithful Camera Club stalwarts admire the annual exhibitions of hotographs. Art Mr. Ted Sloan, English and Art lnstruc- tor, introduced sculpturing this year. Stu- dents in the llth and l2th grades enioyed this educational and fun-loving class. ln offering sculpturing, Mr. Sloan hoped to give the students a new appreciation of art. All students of the 7th and 8th grades are required to take one semester of Art. This year the boys were enrolled for the first semester, and the girls for the second semester. These classes were taught many of the finer points as well as the basic fundamentals of Art. During the course of the year, ninety-one students were in Mr. Sloan's studio. This year's program differed slightly at the various age levels. ,r og, Camera Club The Camera Club has had a very promising year. It has been on two field trips - one to the gas plant in Edmond, and another to the State Capitol. Al- though the membership is small, the club has done a fine iob in the pictures it has turned out. Thanks to the gifts of Mr. Auchin- class, the darkroom equipment is vast- ly improved, and so, too, the quality of the pictures. Max Weitzenhoffer, the Camera Club representative to the Yearbook and the Newspaper, is assisted by Clint Rogers, a promising eighth grade photographer. We wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Sloan, who is our supervisor. Pictured here is an example of the Art Club's main proiect of the year - sculpturing. -73- KQNAQUXQ fff Mm 4- X X 5, 1 0 'X 1 'Q Q!-av 94 K 49 pun ff 'V Q , Q., I I 4.

'?3 ??i51 5 Casady's football teun overcame a group of cost- ly early season iniuries this year to forge a 4 and 4 record. The Cyclones lost their four games by a total of l6 points. Casady defeated two of its arch rivals by big scores, winning over St. Johns 40 to 6 and St. Marks 47 to 6. These two victories gave Casady second place in the Southwest Preparatory Conference, the Cyclones only conference loss coming at the hands of the undefeated champion St. Stephens eleven with a score of 7 to 6 at Austin. Six Casady players received outside recognition in football. Barney Stewart, senior quarterback, and Bill Swinford, sophomore guard, were both named to the Little All City Team chosen by the Oklahoma City Times. Bert Messenbaugh, iunior end, and Pat O'Donoghue, iunior tackle, were chosen on the honorable mention list of this same squad. On the All Conference Team Larry Brown, sophomore half- back, and Kent Frates, senior end, were honored along with Stewart, Swinford and Messenbaugh. The annual football banquet featured a speech by Cliff Speegle, head coach of0klahoma A.8.M. Stewart was presented with both the Fenimore Award and the Most Valuable Back Trophy while Swinford re- A ceived the Most Valuable Lineman Award. Brown and Mark Connolly, iunior center, received the Most Improved Back and the Most Improved Lineman Awards.

Casady's Junior Varsity football team compiled a fine record of three wins and one loss during the past season. The team, made up almost entirely of ninth graders, defeated Crooked Oak 20 to 0, Hard- ing 'B 34 to 6, and St. Marks 27 to 0. The lone loss was to Moore, l3 to 30. The team led by the hard running of Ronal Bone- brake and Phil Ross ripped Crooked Oak in the opener. The second game saw the Junior Varsity, with the aid of a few tenth graders, defeat Harding UB . The only loss came to Moore when the Cyclones werehobbled byiniuries in the backfield. The Tradi- tional game with St. Marks was a rout as Casady's aggressive team shoved the hapless Lions all over the field. The Junior Varsity fielded a potent backfield, quarterbacked by David Upsher, with Bonebrake and Bill Butler at halfbacks, and Ross at fullback. The line was bulwarked by Mickey Lisle at center, and Steve Toland and Shaun Kelly, lll, at the ends.

Although they drew a 6-6 tie and a 6-0 loss from an excellent and larger group of seventh graders, they made a fine recovery and defeated St. Mark eighth grade 7-0 to climax the season. Coaching was handled ably by Mr. Sharp, Mr. Taber, Mr. Walker, and Mr. Warner. The boys of the seventh grade under the super- vision of Mr. Gibson, had a fighting football team this year. ln five games played, a record of two wins, one tie, and two losses was considered good. Of these, one tie and one win were registered against the eight grade team with scores of 6 to 6 and 6 to 0. Other opponents were John Marshall and Nichols Hills Grade School. lt will be no surprise to anyone if many of these boys will be playing on the Varsity in a few years from now. ' .35- Q W.

For the first time, Casady fans could go to basketball games and reasonably expect a victory. The Cyclones com- piled a 9 and 13 record and grabbed fourth place in the Conference tournament at Houston. Bert Messenbaugh, 6'2' Casady pivotman, led the Cyclones scoring attack with his driving lay- ups, short iump shots and deadly accuracy at the free throw line. Roy Williams was Casady's other big scoring threat and also showed up as a fine ball handler. The season was highlighted by several team and individual records. The 63 points scored against St. Stevens at the Association of Texas Preparatory Schools Conference tournament was an all time -88- Guard high for theCycIones. Messenbaugh also set records for both the highest single game scoring and the highest points per game average with 32 and l7.I points respectively. Another school record was set when the team played its first double overtime game losing to Del City 52-50. All Conference honors were awarded to Messen- baugh, who made the first team, and Williams who was named to the Honorable Mention group of the A.T.P.S. The prospects for next year's team are good with Casady's B team, sparked b David Clark, com- piling a IO and 8 record. With the B team players moving up and five Iettermen returning, the Cyclones may well have the first winning season in the schooI's history next year.

Mr. George WhitneY Coach The Baseball Team got a fast start this season winning- loosing 2 and tieing l. Casady's problem of pitching seems to be solved with four capable hurlers, lead by steady senior Neil Barton. The other pitchers Coach George Whitney can call on are right handers Layton Runlcle and Roy Williams and left hander Bert Messenbaugh. The infield shapes up with Gordon Rainey at third, Barney Stewart at short stop, Larry Brown playing second, and Bert Messenbaugh on first. John Bozalis, Mac Owen, Roy Williams, Ken Binder, Bill Bonney, and Pat O'Donaghue have all seen service in the outfield. Barton and Bill Swinford are the Cyclones two catchers. ln the early season games Williams, Owen, Messenbaugh, and Stewart have all hit consistently, and Runlcle and Barton have pitched well. Barton is Casady's best all-around player this year, the best pitcher and catcher on the team, he has also come up with several timely hits. His best pitching per- formance was a win lO-5 over favored John Marshall. The high point of the year will be the Norman baseball tournament and the team has a better chance than in past years because of the pitching depth, which is essential in this grueling tournament. -90, ...nn y 1 k Y? ll I l 191.- f , ,553 .Y - .QV SM ' O .

The team played St. Marks twice and also had several games with the Corpus Christi lnternationals, a motley group of local soc- cer enthusiasts, and an encounter with the Alumni. The Cyclones split the series with St. Marks, winning l to O at home and losing by an identical score at Dallas. The team defeated the Internation- als, bolstered by Casady masters, three times in informal contests at Casady. An Alumni Soccer qame was played over Christmas vacation. The old grads, lead by several college soccer players, were too much for the young varsity and the Alumni tri- umphed 3 to O. The outstanding players on this years squad, made up largely of 9th and 10th graders, were full- back Bill Bonney, center half Roncl Bonebrake, and forwards Dodge Hill and Pat Nagle.

The squad, whose best feature is probably bal- ance, got oft to a good start in defeating Yukon and Minco in a tri-meet and in attending a Class A meet at Northwest Classen. The 880 relay team won its heat and the mile runners were third in theirs with only Northwest and Capitol Hill in front of them. -96- Casady is running Layton Runkle, Pat O'Donog- hue, Roy Williams and .lohn Bozalis in the sprints.

Among the team sports were volleyball, soccer, hockey, basketball and softball. ln the individual sports were archery, badminton and tennis. There were also some corrective exercises worked in dur- ing the year with the other sports, as well as a posture contest. The climax of the year's program comes at the senior banquet in May. There the awards are given: one per grade awarded for sportsmanship, on the basis of skill as well as working well with others, and the intramural trophy, given to the grade which has accumulated the largest number of points throughout the year. This is the second year the intramural program has been in effect. lt was organized to create more spirit and enthusiasm in sports. lt is completely student governed, with Sally Herrmann and Ann Porch as manager and secretary respectively. Each year there will be an election by the girls for these two offices. ln each sport points are given for winning, being runner-up, or for iust winning a game. The points throughout the year are added together, and at the end of the year the class with the most points wins the trophy. This program has done a lot towards encouraging teamwork, but is separate from the usual sports program in that the girls practice with other than their own teammates. Also added to the regular program is the all-star team. ln each sport a group of the best players are chosen for the all-stars and the alternate team. At the end of the intramural tournament the all-stars play the winning team, the alternates filling in where one is a member of both teams. The all-stars are nominated by the students, and decided on by Mrs. Walker and Miss Gentry, on the basis of individual skill both in practice and in the tournaments, and also on sportsmanship. Teamwork is one of the primary factors in this also. Next year they hope to have a group of the students choose the all-star team. Mrs. Walker has done an excellent iob in creat- ing enthusiasm and spirit among the girls in their sports program. She has done it with the help of Miss Dorothea Gentry, who was a new addition to the faculty this year. 104- FRONT ROW Barbara Bradley Barbara Benham Sylvia Glasgow NOT PICTURED: Sue Suffield Diane Dawson BACK ROW: Sharon Dooley Phyllis Johnson Linda Pefree Nancy Lamb Volleyball All Star Team Al ternate Team -105- FRONT ROW Martha Nagle Sharon Brown Befsfy Savage Jan aschal NOT PICTURED: Diane Howard Susan Stewart BACK ROW: Sperry Jones Myra Frederickson Mary Edwards FRONT ROW: Rl Sylvia Glasgow RW Sharon Brown Ll Phyllis Johnson LF Judy Johnston CF Sally Herrmann NOT PICTURED: LW Odelia Russo BACK ROW: G Linda Griffing CH Sperry Jones RH Virginia Gill RF Sue Ann Snefche I' Alternate Team -106- FRONT ROW: G Mary Ann Butcher RW Betsy Savage Ll Sharon Butler L-W Pefrlnd Rugsg NOT PICTURED: RI Susan Schweinle RH Jo Ann Davidor CH Marcia McGee BACK ROW: CF Trisha McGee RF Kay Hardwick LH Martha Bell LF Carol Hood FRONT ROW: Phyllis Johnson Martha Nagle Sharon Brown Linda Pefree Sylvia Glasgow BACK ROW: Martha Bell Trisha McGee Sperry Jones Marcia McGee Hockey All Star Team Alternate Team --l07- FRONT ROW: Mary Ellen Hammond Barbara Benham Sally Herrmann Mary Edwards SECOND ROW: Mary Montgomery Virginia Gill Diana Bochrach BACK ROW: Marcia Jones Linda Griffinq Sue Ann Snefcher Nine Wade-Dalton Swimming LEFT TO RIGHT: Marcia Jones, Petrina Russo, Mary Johnson, Sperry Jones, Diana Bachrach.
