Together-all together-we make Central what it is. Each beat must ring true, every pulsation throb rhythmically in its place, at its time. lt takes all of us working together to keep alive the spirit-the warm heart-beat of Central High School. As we help sustain this spirit, it, in turn, strengthens each of us. It forms each beat so true that even whep vye shall have left these halls, we 'lishall always be echoes from the .

From all parts of the country, the Indians settled in Oklahomag from all walks of life, young people come together within the halls of Central. To us the Indians left the land with its abun- dant wealth. To us, from generation through generation, they bequeathed their loyalty and courage, their steadfastness and stamina. These are our inheritance and responsibility. In appre- ciation of this heritage, we, the Tom Tom stall of 1947, dedicate our yearbook to the Oklahoma Indian. L ,..m-mfsrr W 'k lWf.

In addition to acting as a governing board, the various members serve on six standing committees: Budget and Finance, Building and Sites, Education, Business Relations, Health and Cafeteria, and Personnel. Each committee considers questions and recom- mendations related to its assignment before the questions are brought before the board. These public spirited citizens give freely of their time and ability, without monetary compensation, in order to make Tulsa a good place for the education of children. MR. BEN O. KIRKPATRICK MRS. C.

It offers the experience of dealing with the problems which arise in government. It prepares the student for active participation in the national gov- ernment. The Student Council has served the stu- dent body in numerous activities. It spon- sored the sale of school pennants. Several of those wonderful school dances after foot- ball and basketball games were made possible by the Student Council. One of the most appreciated contributions was the publica- tion, for the Hrst time in the history of Central, of a student directory. Published as a booklet small enough to be carried in a girlls purse or a boy,s pocket, it contains the names, addresses, telephfiae numbers and grade classification of all the students in our school. Central students may well be proud of their student government, for by function- ing smoothly and efficiently it serves to knit all elements of the school into a uni- fied whole.

Meetings of the Student Council, held on alternate Fridays, were conducted by the following officers: Tom Wood, president, Bob XVorley, vice-president, Walter Taylor, treasurer, Marguerite Eng, secretaryg Judy Beth Berry, corresponding secretary, Donna 35 mm:-ma: MJ Y fffczns L A ww X Indian, Heritage NDIAN heritage in Oklahoma is dispersed much more widely than is generally realized. Nor only is this heritage carried on through blood relationship, but also by the impact upon all Oklahomans of Indian arts, customs, and cultural inheritance. A 1947 survey of the student body of Central High School shows 475 per- sons of the 2,824, or one out of every seven of the students, to be of Indian descent. At least nineteen tribes are represented among these students at Central High School. There are some 285 persons of Cherokee blood, twenty- nine of Choctaw, nineteen of Creek and twelve of Osage in Central along with representatives of other tribes. The fol- lowing is an alphabetical list showing the kinds of Indian tribal blood to be found among the student bodyf: Algonquin Delaware Apache Kiowa Blackfoot Munsee Cherokee Osage Chickasaw Oto Chippewa Potawatomi Choctaw Quapaw Comanche Seminole Creek Shawnee Sioux If Central High School can be taken as a cross section of the city of Tulsa, then we may assume that the same proportion of Indian blood holds for the city as for the high school. One of every seven students is of Indian de- scent. Therefore, one of every seven residents of Tulsa should be of Indian descent. The Chamber of Commerce gives the present population of Tulsa as I 3 8 180,000, accordingly, there must be approximately 30,113 citizens of Tulsa who can boast of Indian ancestry. Before Oklahoma became a state in 1907, it was known as the Indian Ter- ritory and was divided into regions where certain tribes had their homes. These nations were the Cherokee, Tonkawa, Osage, Pawnee, Ponca, Oto, Missouria, Kickapoo, Creek, Arapahoe, Comanche, Kiowa-Apache, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Seminole, Potawatomi, Shaw- nee, Quapaw, Modoc, Peoria, Sac-Fox, Wyandotte, Kaw, Cheyenne, and Wich- ita-Caddo? As you notice, some of the nations include two or more tribes. This caused by the affiliation of tribes which had previously been associated together. Several of the more wealthy Indians have left large sums of money for the continuance and furthering of Indian lore. One of these is Thomas Gilcrease who established the Gilcrease Founda- tion, which has as its purpose the sup- port of a museum of Indian art and the training of Indian orphans. Mr. Gilcrease was educated in France and became interested in the training of Indian youth for college after return- ing to the United States. This interest prompted the establishment of the Foundation. A finer collection of Indian literature and fine art is not to be found elsewhere in the United States. Thus Indian heritage presents a noble perspective to a great number of our population and stimulates interest in Indian art, customs, and nature among all of our population. :fSpelling according to Swanton.

PLAY COMMITTEE: Ticket Sale for Senior Class Play . The Barretts of Wimpole Street -First Semester Play Jim Christopher Tommy Hatcher David Fields Margaret Sivers Dorothy Ward PLAY SELECTION: fcabinew 7 3 Seniors of 1947 Three short years ago the class of 1947 entered Central under the di- rectorship of Miss Gertrude Rector, who with Mansel Cowan, our sophomore class president, led us through an eventful year. Our class play that year, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtf' was a tremendous hit. Of special interest were the elaborate costumes and medieval scenery. With this first play we began giving the wholehearted and effective support which has characterized every project our class has undertaken for three years. As we entered our second year at Central the beat of the Tom Tom and all it symbolized grew stronger within us. Miss Ednamay Weeks was to be our Ticket sales are booming for the senior class play, The Barretts of Wimpole Street. Patsy Jones and Fleming Sher- wood rcport their room sales to Ralph McCormick, score- keeper. class adviser for the next two years. Gene Simpson was elected president. While we were juniors, we began to take a more active part in assemblies and the extra-curricular activities of the school. We presented as our class play the delightful three-act comedy, Don't Take My Penny. One of the most im- portant activities of our junior year was selecting and ordering the rings and pins which we have ever since been Haunting before the eyes of under- classmen. Now we have reached the last part of our career at Central. With Frank Wamsley as our president we have made the most of this year. We were proud to present as our class play, The Barretts of Wimpole Streetf' It was the first time the play had been given by amateur actors. Our Christmas party, class day, the annual Daze, Ritz Week, KVOO day, the senior class breakfast at Mohawk park, the senior dinner, vesper service, and commencement will not soon be forgotten. Neither will we soon forget the ex- cellent manner in which Central has prepared us for the future-whether it be for further study in college or for our chosen vocations. Preparatory courses such as trigonometry, psychology aero- nautics, geology, and our cooperative training courses, are only a few of the unusual opportunities offered to stu- dents in such a high school as Central. We have had a prosperous, pleasant, useful time at Central. And as the throbbing of the Tom Tom echoes and reechoes from the original beats, so will the inspiration of Central High School be carried by us into the far parts of the earth.

Junior Class Following the timeless practice of juniors before them, our junior class began the year by attempting to set the pace for their younger sophomore brothers and by looking, though somewhat reluctantly, to their more-experienced senior friends for guidance. But now, with the help of their friend and adviser, Miss Lulu B. Beckington, and under the leadership of their class officers, headed by President L. D. Teter, they have completed their junior year. Soon they will hold that long-awaited classification of seniors. This year was full of activity and fun for juniors. The class play, Spring Green,', was perhaps their most outstanding extra-curricular production, with fifteen students participating on the stage and the other nine hundred and sixteen members of the class selling tickets and generally helping make it the best junior class play Central had ever seen. Every few weeks there were class assemblies, which offered such prize entertainment as Mr. Robert H. Nutt, the memory trainer, and a Christmas nonsense play, Dolls And everyone liked having a chance to 'select the three beautiful queenls attendants, Ann Hasty, jill Athey, and Sally Millison. However, studies were not left untouched. Along with basic subjects such as mathe- matics, science, and history which are not restricted to any class, the juniors had courses peculiar to themselves. For example, Macbeth and his troubles were usual topics for conversation between any Ambitious juniors make good use of the school library. Here Ray Ferrell is preparing for a busy night by checking out several books from Miss Flossie M. Martin, librarian. two juniors, no matter how varied their individual interests, since almost all members of the class studied this master- j piece of literature during the year. Home living and physical educa- tion were also required subjects which added to the ever-increasing wisdom of the students, as they drew nearer their goal of completing their high school education. Now with eleven years of study behind them, the juniors are ready to take their places as members of the graduating class of 1948. But even after they have left Central High School, they will carry with them the knowledge, the high principles, the comradeship which came to be a part of them through experiences such as those shared by members of this year's junior class. The Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma The Choctaws-were the first of the five tribes to trade a part of their lands in the East for a country in the Indian Territory. The Choctaws had helped Jackson in the Pensacola campaign of the War of 1812. The outstanding chief of the Choctaws, Pushmataha, for whom che county in Okla- homa was named, was buried in the Con- gressional Cemetery with high military honors. The journey west, called the Trail of Tears, was a tragic one for the Choctaws. In addition to their being caused to grieve at leaving their old homes and ancient coun- try forever, they suffered much on the way and many died and were buried along the Trail of Tears. They were taken in groups of five hundred to one thousand by United States soldiers. The Creek people lived in forty-seven towns in the Indian Territory, many of the towns being given names of the old Creek towns in the East, such as Okmulgee, Tulsey, and Coweta. The Creeks long clung to their ancient customs. They had tribal ball games, which incidentally are the roughest games played in the world, and the busk or green corn dance in summer. Mrs. W. S. Robertson, missionary to the Creek nation, helped greatly in translating English texts into the Creek language. She was the first woman in the United States to receive a Ph. D. degree. Her daughter, Alice Robertson, was the first woman to be elected from Oklahoma to the United States Congress and was one of the founding teachers of Tulsa University, then Kendall College. In government fundamentals the Chero- kees were prominent. With Sequoyah's in- vention of the Cherokee alphabet, the print- ing of newspapers in Cherokee became com- mon. The first newspaper in Oklahoma, The Cherokee Advocate, was published at Tahlequah under Cherokee governmental Control. Stressing education, the terms of the Treaty of New Echota called for the establishment of schools after 1810. After the adoption of a new constitution in 1827, the public school system in the Indian Ter- ritory remained under Cherokee control. A Cherokee Council law made possible the election of a superintendent of education and the establishment of eleven neighbor- hood schools. By the time that the Chero- kee government was replaced by the state of Oklahoma there were some one hundred and twenty public schools in the Cherokee nation. The Chickasaws sold their lands in Miss- issippi at public auction and purchased the right of citizenship in the Choctaw nation in the Indian Territory. In as much as the Chickasaws had sold their Mississippi coun- try for money, they were the wealthiest of the southwestern Indians at the time when they moved into the Indian Territory. Liv- ing with the Choctaws, friction eventually arose over governmental procedures and after a short time it became necessary for the United States authorities to establish a separate Chickasaw nation in the Indian Territory. The Seminole people resented being moved to a new country and resisted with a seven year war. At last the United States authori- ties put up a white flag of truce, thereby luring the Indian chief, Osceola, out of hiding. Thinking that the authorities were wanting to make a treaty, the chief and his advisers were easy prey and were thrown into prison. The old chief died in prison, and finally the tribe was moved to the In- dian Territory. The war cost the United States ten million dollars and countless lives. These five Indian tribes, torn from their eastern homes and forced to move into the newly laid out Indian Territory, were to dot the landscape with farms, begin new homes and settlements, establish governments and schools, and their achievements and native habits were to win for them the name of The Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma.

As their representatives they chose Robert Kramer, president, Joe Gibson, vice-president, Sandra Forster, secretary, Fred jones, treasurer, jackie Conner, representative to Youth Incorp- orated. But leadership along the line of class officers was not the only held in which sophomores excelled. Sandra For- ster, Donnie Vaughn and Karin Vetter, queen's attendants, were selected as the fairest of the fair. Everyone will remember such re- quired subjects as American literature with its study of Meet an Americpmg United States history with the romance of the early pioneers developing a con- tinent, science, and physical education. For more ambitous sophomores Spanish, geometry, Latin, clothing, foods, draft- ing, and many other optional courses opened new vistas of learning. The year would not have been com- plete without class assemblies and the sophomore tests. There was great enthu- siasm over the class play, The Youngest, by Phillip Barry, and the cast was one of the best Central has ever seen. The Daze was a high light of the year, with sophomores having their first op- portunity to participate in the annual production. Under the guidance of the home room presidents and Miss Gertrude Rec- tor, class adviser, nomineesfor class officers for the coming year were selec- ted and voted on by the students, pav- ing the way for next year's work. Wfith the end of the year there is a feeling of closer friendship, greater knowledge, better sportsmanship, and truer love for Central High School in the heart of every sophomore-an ad- vance far beyond the feeling he knew when he entered school last fall. As Miss Rector stated it, This yearls soph- omore class is the best everf' SOPHOMORES Don Cihak and John Sartin using an effigy, do some strenuous campaigning for sophomore oflicers.

Besides excelling in hunting, he excercised ingenuity in numerous ways-as a fur trader, a silversmith, a blacksmith, and an artist. In 1809, Sequoyah realized that his race was under the disadvantage of being with- out I1 means of written communication. He therefore took it upon himself to devise for his people, an alphabetical system similar to that of the English. By using some ready- made characters, making others by modify- ing those, and obtaining still others from his own mind, Sequoyah, using eighty-five characters or letters, represented every sound in the Cherokee language. After years of patient work, he completed his invention in 1821. When tested by the leading men of the Cherokee nation, it was found to be an overwhelming success. This written languge was employed by missionaries and, partially, was used in the printing of a newspaper, The Pboneix. Most important of all, however, is the great service that Sequoyah did for his people, for within a few months of its per- fection, this alphabet enabled thousands of previously illiterate Cherokees to read and write their language. 117 uyJ-of-NSDYE, 0-J'-JSO-J'Ul 0-vs.:-U-'ax 3 if?

Basketball Basketball has been a favorite mid-Winter sport at Central for many years. The 1947 season proved to be no exception. Head Coach Grady Skillern, Assistant Coaches Walter Barham and Clarence Ehlers, and the squad produced a team that brought honor to the school by its expert playing and its fine sportsmanship. Central won ten games and lost ten with close scores all the way. Total points scored by our opponents were 645 as against 724 scored by the Braves. The games with Rog- ers, with overtime periods played both times, were the high lights of the season. The team elected Leonard Hughes and John Tanner as honorary captains.

Cross Country The cross country team of 1946, under the experienced direction of Coach William Lantz, took Hrst place in both of the dual meets and second place in each of the tri- angle meets this year. The team showed ine sportsmanship and spirit throughout the season and had a commendable record. Hale Staley, cross country star, runs with both feet, in ipite of the fact that it looks as if he has only one and one-hal legs. In the dual meets the boys took a smash- ing victory over both McAlester and Stroud, but their luck changed in the other meetsg for they lost to Rogers all three times. In the dual meets, the O. U. State Meet and the City Meet the high-point team wins, but the low-point team wins the A. 86 M. State Meet. The lettermen that started this team were Owen Irish and Hale Staley. Lettermen chosen for cross country of 1946 were Steve Bolyard, Glenn Hufford, Owen Irish, Ken- neth Logsdon, Bob Montgomery, Leo Rod- riquez, Bill Shuman, Hale Staley and Philip Viseur.

The Braves had only 45 points scored against them as opposed to their own 25 5. Although the Rogers Ropers defeated Central in the second game of the season, Central took the pigskin in hand and with courage and grim determination ended the season with the state championship. The Tulsa Worldls 1946 All-State Squad included Clyde Jones, Jack Shawgo, backs, and Floyd Phariss, tackle. Carl Bottenfield, back, and Joe Horkey, tackle, were on the honorable mention list. Dean Smith was elected by the boys as honorary captain for the 1946 season. f ff Central Hag Bartlesviile 0 Gggflfal Rogers 14 . Gesifrhi' 27 ,...' Okmulgee 0 'Cerif:-al 20... 1...,i,,, Q i..,,.

Two important players, Bob Benzel and Joe Horkey, were the game captains. Spurred on by the knowledge that a victory over Muskogee would give them a chance to tie Sapulpa and Rogers for the 6-A district title, the Braves played for keeps all the way, taking a smashing 41-to-O triumph over the Muskogee Roughers. 13 Oklahoma Clty Central Starting slowly against Oklahoma City Cen- tral's tricky TU formation, Central staged a thrilling second half to defeat the Oklahoma City Redskins, 25 to 6, in Oklahoma Cityis Taft stadium. Carl Bottcnfield carried the ball across the line for three of the touchdowns. Floyd Murphy was responsible for the last touchdown. Sparkplug Phil Smith was the game captain. The Oklahoma City game is traditional. ln years past, the Oklahoma City game was the game of the year. The last plunge over the line makes a goal.

Seminole Central and Seminole clashed in the first round of the high school grid play-offs as Central combined a devastating ground attack and a powerful aerial game to down a fighting Seminole team, 25 to 6, in the Chieftains' stadium. Central had control of the ball most of the game. Game captains were Carl Botten- held and Chuck Masters, two very capable teammates.

Each and cvery girl has the opportunity and re- quirement to find out whether or not she is up to par as far as weight, height, and posture are concerned. A record is kept of physical examin- ations given at the first and last of the year. To improve their posture. girls who can profit by it go into individual gym classes where they take corrective exercises, Hanging by their hands are Iona Searles and Inez McCurdy exercising their abdominal muscles, Mary Tarpley is reverse climb- ing, an exercise designed to help correct a hollow back, Here is what you have been waiting for, girls. It's a revolution, a way to reduce those hips and waists, without bother- some dieting, too. Miss Rachel Blackburn inven- ted this device which is to be found in room 107. Here Loyce Lassiter is helping Mona Nell Moses use the belt, 1. It's team work that counts. On down the field the ball goes, from one team mate to another. Sportsmanship and good healthful exercise as well as speed and agility are assets that can be gained from a well-played game of field hockey. A very active game, it is en- joyed by all. Nice hit! Lee Lind puts a Babe Ruth swing into it and does her best to make it a home run. By the time the year is over many of the girls. who had scarcely seen a base- ball bat before, emerge as apt softball players. Practice makes perfect, and it's practice they do in the girls' tennis clas-- ses. The training begins with the fundamentals- learning how to hold the racket correctly. Later comes active participation in actual matches with the score properly kept. One of the primary les- sons is that of learning the forehand drive, which is pictured here. All that goes up must come down. Yes, and Shirley Gordon goes up and down in good jack- knife form while other members of the swim- ming class look or-. Every girl in the gym classes must either pass an exemption test or take swimming. In this way, each girl becomes more accomplished in this aquatic sport. Marye Jo Hamilton shoots across a serve while partner Naydene Kelley waits for the re- turn. Ping-pong is an'- other beneficial sport in which the girls partici- pate when the weather prevents outdoor exer- cises. This is not only good fun in itself but is also helpful training in preparation for tennis. lt's a toss-up! All are in- tent on seeing that their team gets that ball. When rain or snow chases the girls inside, there are few com- plaints, for a fast game of basketball is a stimu- lating activity for the girls and one that is usually eagerly antici- pated. Over and back, over and back! Careful concentra- tion is a requirement in these relays that play another important part in the girls' physical education program. Such activities as this are ex- tremely useful in build- ing good muscle coord- ination and speed. Since certain privileges are to be gained by the win- ning team, each group does its best. Playing London Bridge? No, It's the cowboy loop, one of the many steps learned by the girls in the square dancing classes. Since Mrs. Mary Jo Bradford and Miss Rachel Blackburn are both experienced callers, this recreation is made even more enjoyable and interesting with realistic calls. A friend in need is a friend indeed. That this is true is well known by all the girls in the phys- ical education depart- ment of central. Mrs, Catherine Reis' aid to the girls ranges from check- ing out tennis rackets, balls, bathing suits, and towels to mending torn suits and opening lockers, Cf?

It is under the spon- sorship of Mr. Clarence Ehlers, who had the aid of Calvin Turner, president, Ralph Gambrell, vice-president, Roland Knode, secretary, and Herbert Putman, treasurer, after the veterans elected officers at the first of the year. Both Calvin and Roland were in the army while Hobart and Ralph were members of the Seabees. Mr. Ehlers was a member of the army air forces. Per- haps his being a veteran accounts for his ability to understand and help solve vet- erans, problems. For entertainment during the year, the veterans had several dances and stag parties. Since most veterans have a store of expe- riences to tell to any willing listener, there was no lack of entertainment, and every one had lots of fun. Guest speakers at the meetings told about such things as the G.l. Bill of Rights and their overseas experiences. The club helped members with a common interest to know each other, and the association together helped to make their return to high school pleasant.

Trade and Industrial Club The Tulsa Chapter of the Trade and Industrial Club, a state organization, is sponsored by Mr. M. Ruley and Mr. E. L. Southard. Some of the activities of the club were discontinued during the war because of the absence of many boys in the armed forces. Trade and Industrial Club members. grouped around the duh symbol, participate in their formal initiation ceremony. The purposes and objectives of the club are many and varied-to promote better understanding between employer and em- ployee, to awaken within the boy the desire to do good work, and to encourage respect in each boy for his vocation. The club sponsors many activities: among those carried on this year were a Christmas party and an employer-employee banquet in the spring. The state organization spon- sors an annual three-day convention after the close of school. The officers for this year were Jimmy Dick, presidentg Jack Welllieuseii, vice- presidentg Ed Moorman, secretary-treasurer5 and Harry Holbrook, sergeant-at-arms. A special honor has come to the club this year by having the state president. Charles Jones, chosen from the Tulsa chapter. The club is valuable to the community in promoting good work from the employee and better understanding from the employer. it DISTRIBUTORS' CLUB-Frasr Row: Jewell Cartwright, Ina Hightower, Mamie Bates, Thelma Dean Thompson, Martha Moon, Gwendolynn Sivers, Agatha Bullington, Phyllis Suden.

The last aim was certainly ful- filled, for every one of the students had a position in a retail store. Projects included field trips to factories and display advertising departments of plants, and the publication every nine weeks of a club paper, The Dm' News. Also each club member arranged a merchandise display. By way of social activities, the main event was a trip to the 1947 convention where the delegates spent three days at Prices' Falls. Besides the semi-monthly busi- ness meetings, the club had at least three socials during the school year. One of these was the annual Christmas dinner, which was held at Michaelis Cafeteria. The gifts and Christmas tree from the partv were given to the Salvation Army for distribu- tion among underprivileged children. :Y .,7?:,,j.. ..,aW,-j,k.,,?..sf 5.4 .,. . . .QM A .wa .. .. , .. .. . .,..,ffv,.,.., ,S ,, ,M ,. tl, ,A , ,,. , , , .

The student superintendent is Billy Twenty-live feet above the stage floor it's all-important to keep your feet on top of the grid, as stagecraft members Wayne Sams, Bill Hawman, Ted Sullivan and Kenneth Gandall can very well tell you, Hawman. The only girl member, Betty Martin, has assumed the duties of secretary. Because there are so many different types of work, there are several departments, with assistant superintendents in charge of each: Bill Graham, seeneryg Lilburn Valentine, electricity, Ted Sullivan, properties, Bill Teal and Bill Briggs, projection. Every member has his home room period on stage and at least one period during the day with Mr. Martin, It is, however, out- side of this time-after school hours-that most of the work is done, and hours toward credit may be recorded only for after-school service. The system that has been devised for giving credit to these stage workers is based on one credit for every 120 hours of work. Hard work and no play might make these Stagecraft members rather dull people if it were not for the annual Halloween Ghost Walla. With the facilities at hand and the talents of the stagecraft boys and Mr. Martin, anything can happen and usually does. The good times enjoyed by this group are well-deserved, for to them the students of Central owe more appreciation than they realize. Tulsa's full-time mayor Price swears in Jack Shawgo, 2.

The organization holds a meeting every Monday evening at seven-thirty at the Y.M.C.A. building for discussion and enter- tainment. This year there were four major discussion groups: Vocations, Boy-Girl Re- lations, The American Home, and Race Relations, each of which was prepared for, and discussed, in four consecutive meetings. The research and trading of opinions have proven beneficial to the boys. At these meet- ings Charles Carmack acted as presidentg Frank Ray, vice-presidentg Phil Schelb, sec- retaryg Glen Potter, treasurerg and Don Bobeck as social chairman. Mr. john Tipton was sponsor of the Sigma Hi-Y. Delmar Marston represented the organization in the Civitan Canteen as program chairman for the Canteen. . . For a bit of relaxation and fun the boys held a ranch party at Shell Creek and planned several dances. A joint party with the Alpha Keystoners at the Joan Haines farm was termed a grand success. He looked like a peddler just opening his pack. No. not Santa Claus, but close to him are these Sigma fellows who look over gifts to be taken to the Children's Home. '1v'.ei4-srwfpfazvsvffusfrv'.

Rifle Club Tulsa Centralas Rifle Club, having come into existence in April of 1946, is one of the younger organizations of the school. At the beginning of this year, there were twelve members in the club-the maximum possible at that time because there were only six targets. Toward the middle bf the year, the club was able to obtain three more targets, an increase which enabled six more boys to gain membership. The Rifle Club is under the sponsorship of Mr. Felix Vestalg Bill Keeler is president, Joe Wells, vice-president, jim Sherman, sec- retary, and Jim Manning, treasurer. Clar- ence Eng is the executive officer who is in charge of all ammunition and equipment used at each meeting. Mr. Frank Parks, in- structor, meets with the boys and advises them in the technical aspects of their hobby. Since each individual is a member of the Junior National Riflemen,s Association, the boys often enter postal matches in which any member of the national association may participate. They take part in competition foi prone, sitting, kneeling, and off-hand positions. All of these club activities are experience in the bank for the boys-experience in dis- cipline aind self-control if nothing else, that will enable them to be better citizens.

Pearson. the clubs sponsor. planned many intriguing activities Some of the most interesting and intormative meetings were those in which laboratory experiments were performed. Sometimes the Chemistry Club ventured forth on a trip to a near-by retinery, foundry, or laboratory. A somewhat less-in- formative, but never-to-he-forgottenepisode was the initiation. Rather atavistic in na- ture, this treatment made each member treasure well his place in the club. Also on the lighter side were the social activities. Each get-together was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and one of the most successful and memorable was the Christmas party. All the activities of the Chemistry Club enable the members to enjoy the friendship of people with common interests and to share knowledge that will help them be better informed.

Since the paper IUHSI be out every week on Thurs- day mornings, these days are filled with proofreading, typing, writing, headlining, covering newsbeats, and interviews. This year's co-editors from Central, jack Paden School Life Reporter Doris Foust interviews Rubinoif and his violin Just before the famous musician plays for assembly. 182 and Janet Spore, can verify this fact. Assist- ing them in reading galley and page proofs were the Central page editors, Joyce Mac- Farland, Jim Patten, Richard Gentry, Doro- thy Ratliff, Betty Pitts, Barbara Cihak, Lionel Gordon, and john Ross. Such page editors are often at their typewriters on Saturdays or on holidays to get the paper ready to go out the next Thursday. On Thursday mornings before the paper came out, Vfayne Plippo and Deryl Wzitson saw that the papers were counted and dis- tributed properly. Mary Carolyn Sample sent olut approximately one hundred papers a week in exchange, while Ruth Plummer, business manager, added the advertising inches and sent out the bills. The Tulsa School Life staff, under the direction of Miss Ann Crotchett, the effi- cient director of journalism, is comprised of some of the busiest people in Central, Rogers, and Webster. These people, who put out a great amount of energy in its publication, are responsible for our high school paper.

Tom Tom Staff The organization which makes it possible for you to be reading this yearbook is the Tom Tom, staff. Every day the busy mem- bers of the staff scurried about getting pic- tures, organization write-ups, and the many features which make up your Tom Tomg While the art staff, under the guidance of Miss Lucile Adams, planned and created the art work found throughout the book, Mary Jo Stahl, business manager, and Greta Stone, editor, kept money affairs straight and tried to prevent errors from slipping into the book. This year we who were members of the staff learned that there was more to getting out a Tom Tom than paying for one. Under the leadership of our experienced director, Mr. C. X. Dowler, We learned the ins and outs of preparing this yearbook for publica- tion. And though we found that there was a great deal of work and responsibility in- volved in making it, we felt privileged to be able to accept the challenge of making the 1947 Tom Tom the best possible. To counterbalance the work, the staff had several social events: parties, a dinner, a girls' slumber party, and for both the edi- torial and art staffs, a picnic at Mohawk, and a breakfast at Bishop's. The work and fun and fellowship have made serving on the Tom Tom staff a memorable experience. Greta Stone, Tom Tom editor, keeps her eye on a group of Juniors Mr. Almon Ash is the photographer. 183 .et - 5 Q is t . , sg. V X. at if ,,,....--- SAINT CECILIANS First Row: Marian Grieves.

Any girl in Central who has a good sing- ing voice may be a Saint Cecilian. Although most of the members are sophomores, there were a few juniors and seniors in the organi- zation this year. The reason for there be- ing so many more sophomores is that this is the first year that the organization has been active since 1944.

Cecilians The organization gave a Christmas pro- gram for the Rotarianls ladies' day luncheon, and one at the Boston Avenue Methodist Church early in December. ln April the girls gave their formal spring concert. The Saint Cecilians are the only high school group in this part of the countrv that has an orchestra as a regular part of its organization, according to Mr. Wfhitney, the director. This group will perform for any civic club or church group, since these per- formances inspire the girls to perfect their numbers. Before each performance there was a bevy of girls worrying about how they looked, whether their formals hung straight, and whether their hair was combed prettily. But during each concert the girls managed to look like what their name implies-little angels.
