Some of them became famous actors, radio and television person- alities, college professors, Rhodes scholars, owners of big business and doctors, but all of them were important to us because they were a part of the Central spirit. We were anxious to prove that the last classes of the old Central were some of the best. We worked on stage presenting plays, assemblies, the musical, and the 50th Daze. We reported Central news on weekly cable TV broadcasts. In Art Club we made decorations, posters, and T-Shirts for the school and the community. Through our achieve- ments we shared a unity that brought us closer to Central. 'f-iii. J 'wc 4? 2 L gggg 1 ' Oh, Great Spirit at Thy call we have pledged our youth, 'ever climbing one and all seek eternal truth . . . Tradition at Central centers around a horse, an Indian, a hymm and the confidence that despite our changes over the years, we are the same. With thy stan- dards at our side, bound by pur- pose high . . . we have established a continuity which has affected Centralitey from 4904 beter the present. It is this tradition that will enable this old school to move into a new building without becoming a different school. We shall find thee truth and light. Thou art all we sought. p . , if Friends - sharing, caring, someone to talk to, an ally during hard times - a person you can know, like, and trust. 'nv' 'fi .- L 'affg' ,,...,.1.

But it's not really the end, just an end of a part of me. We promise each other it's not over and we'll keep in touch, even though we know we'll grow and change. I feel so many different things all at one time. I wish it didn't have to happen so fast. Then maybe I could get used to the idea that I am really leaving. I haven't been ab- sent for a long time and have to go to the dean to get an admit, but re- ally leaving. But in leaving I am going somewhere I have never been before, andl am beginning again. N ,VIL ACADEMICS was I , - ' b ., - Kwan - ,.....s.,. , For so many years Central has been a big brick building in the heart of down- town Tulsa with sidewalks for a campus and electrical outlets hanging from the ceilings. The sidewalks will soon be replaced by a rambling forty-seven acres, the hanging outlets by ordinary plug-ins. Students in l.E. will never again experi- ence the two-block treck to class. Rooms will be smaller, but more colorful in colors such as l'Valentine , 4'Really Rust , and Pigskin . One room for ad- vanced art students will actually be a 'lpit . Locker keys will be a thing of the past, for the blue, sunflower, and flame orange lockers will have combination locks. The library will be the Learning Resources Center with something vir- tually unknown to Centralites - orange and red carpeting. 19 i ,m,,.,,....,..W --- QQ 9 3 ,,, Seated: Mrs. Mary Warner, Carl D.

The members of the Board donate their time to make the exec- utive decisions of the school system. The decision to relocate Central at 33rd and West Edison was among our favorites in recent years. The board is led by Central alumna, Mrs. Mary Warner. Mrs. Warner serves Central as chairperson of the Community Focus Committee which is helping to restore and move Central's artifacts to our new school. She is also a member of Westward Ho! '76, a group which is raising money to help equip the new school. The Board works closely with Dr. Bruce Howell, Superintendent of Schools. Dr. Howell has supported Central in the Creative Arts program and the reloca- tion as well as other areas. Most of us didnt really get to know Mr. Tucker individually because he was always so busy keeping the school run- ning smoothly, attending meetings, having conferences, and being the Big Chief . We came in contact with him when he relayed the news about the new school to us, but you didn't have to know Mr. Tucker personally to get the feeling that he was genuinely interested in our school and dedicated to making its last years suc- cessful. 22 R.E.

They offered individual counseling and pro- vided students with other help. Mr. Alex- ander and Mr. Woodward worked hard at keeping things going smoothly. A major problem was motivating discouraged students to keep trying. Mr. Woodward walked the halls keeping track of lost students and making sure they got to class. In his office, Mr. Alexander was usually writing reports, signing papers, or talking on the telephone. Both of our as- sistant principals tackled big jobs, but they always came through.

I 'E 5 Counselors tried to help the student manage his life and solve his own dif- ficulties, hoping that this would help the student gain skills and self reliance for the future. Emphasis was placed on career education and the preparation of on-going students to meet future challenges.

So important, in fact, that years ago T's were awarded to those students with exceptional typing and shorthand ability. Courses such as these will no doubt enable the student who takes advantage of them to obtain rewarding jobs in the future. This pros- pect made the hectic years of struggling with timed writings, brief forms, and dic- tation alot more bearable.

They're all right for some people, but I'm not going to college and I need to start thinking about what I'm going to do the rest of my life. I like I.E. At least I'm doing some- thing about my future. I really don't mind walking a couple of blocks a day to the I.E. building, because it lets me get out- side for awhile. Many courses are offered in I.E., such as Auto Mechanics, Pho- tography, and Drafting. I'm glad I'm given the choice of what to take in school. It encourages me to try harder, because I'm doing what I want to do. 3 - Q rf? , , .., . 1, ,fs f .

Perhaps ithas been the sight of the wom books or just the word grammar which has caused the reluc- tance. Even knowing that we will be the last students to study English in this school doesn't lessen the pain. But as long as our school in name and spirit lives on, students will continue reading the books their parents have read, until Central High School, itself, is established within new historical literature books. Then today's students' activities will capture the attention of future students. iii ,Hy .- E '-f ' K Shirley Woods, Reading zf 'ff3y3gifs1:.r ,Q t s L, 'Tiki' 51 Q 'H 7 Les Dickerson.

German, French and Latin are also offered. In most foreign language classes, we study the history and culture of the country along with its language. It's not easy, but for me it's worth it. 37 IVIUSIC ln band we know what early is. We change clothes to go to first hour. But there's more to music than marching. ln piano lab twelve students may be playing different songs, but thereis no confusion. Only the student playing, or the teacher wearing earphones, hears the piano. ln- strumental music varies from guitar to orchestra. Vocal music offers students a chance to perform on stage in a musical producation. Opera Club presented a lively Oklahoma! to an appreciative au- dience. Central's favorite music has to be On CHS . It brings us to our feet and brings memories of football games and assemblies to us.

It's a great ego build- er to perform on the South Auditorium stage knowing you're doing a good job, especially when the audience likes you. SPEECH DANCEMRT Whether I wanted to learn about dance or art, there was always an opportunity for me to do so. I could be a member of Dance Club or Art Club, attend Creative Arts forums, or come in contact with per- forming artists like Bert and Sophie and the Cincinnati Ballet Company. I could try to copy what I saw, or with the help of Ms. Roll, try to create something of my own. Although dance and art are two completely different things, they both let me do the same thing: express my feel- ings. Whether with my hands or with my body, I can convey to others how I feel inside and improve my skill at the same time. I know I've accomplished some- thing when my actions stir the imagina- tion of others and make them feel some- thing inside.

I sometimes wondered how it could possibly be important for me to know how many wives Henry VIII had or who was in the Yalta Conference, but now that it's over I somehow feel those years of Ancient and Medieval and U.S. History weren't so useless after all, because they taught me about the problems of the past and helped me appreciate the present. .4Y' Tom Turnbaugh, Student Council, Government 84 Economics, U.S. History W ,, ,ga-M fjfjdfag awe fn A I l df, , yup?

It's only fair that she be relocated instead of closed down and eventually forgotten. The Great Spirit Hall of Fame will perhaps be the only means of preserving a bit of Centralls glorious past. It will not only be the new home of the Great Spirit, but it will also contain the precious trophies, plaques, and pictures that we have accumulated through the years. It will certainly never replace the Old Central , but it will hopefully make leaving less painful. 55 BOYS' STATE GIRLS' STATE , 56 Tamra Evans After staying up late every night, we had to wake up at 5:45 a.m. We had to literally sing for our breakfast, lunch and dinner . There were end- less assemblies. We di- vided into groups and called ourselves a town. We elected a governor, lieutenant governor, secre- tary, etc. Governor Boren and Lt. Nigh were there. I have to admit, it was dif- ferent. Mike Scott, Mike Brinkmeyer xxk .77 Leslie Pride, National Orchestra Award.

Ross Nguyen and An Nguyen placed first in a mixed doubles badminton game against two people from college. Ross took first place in the high school singles tournament and An placed second. Eric Martin, Amanda Frye and Farrell Thrasher competed against students from other schools after winning the NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing. 57 OUTSTANDING SENIORS OF THE MONTHS Jeanie Orcutt, Jim Hemphill December Being chosen as a Senior of the Month was really an honor, especially competing with all the people that were qualified for the position. Having my picture taken and being congratulated was a lot of fun, and it gave me a special feeling knowing that I had a whole month of being someone special. SENIORS OF THE MONTHS ,MUN New January, Masato Honjo and Vivian Lowery. February, Betty Murphy and Kevin Summers March, Tamra Evans and Clay Darnell, 'MX 53 April, Lenora Johnson and Osborne Celestain May, Rene Parrish and Ed Stewart. For the first time, the se- nior class elected King Daze. We expected Stan, the white part of the Oreo , to be one of the nine finalists because he was in everything. We hoped he would be one of the three finalists. When he was elected King Daze, we were satisfied, but not very sur- prised. Of course, it was a hard choice because both Joe and Ricky also qualified for this highest honor. We were proud that Stan would always be our fiftieth King Daze and the very last King Daze in the old building. He said it was a supreme honor and we knew he meant it. 62 Kiiiifiiiii L W if sw-4 X Ricky Colbert, Senior Attendant Joe Wiley, Senior Attendant Being nominated as one of the nine finalists for at- tendant to King Daze seemed like a good deal for a While.

James Collins The demands of the senior class were heard for the fifty-fifth time since 1921 when Gloria Moseby was chosen to reign as Queen of Central High School. Each year the Senior Lords and Ladies have selected from their realm a Lady - renowned for her beauty and wisdom. Gloria Moseby upheld the traditions and fulfilled her duties with dignity and pride. In addition to her role as Queen, she was an active participant in the promotion of school spirit and took pride in being a varsity cheerleader for our school. Her academic achievements were of high standards, and she ranked high in our class. With the help of herjust and deserving attendants, Radonna Stringer and Donna Ashley, Miss Central LV proved herself worthy of the trust and confidence placed in her by all.

Like many other people, my summer began just before school was out, when we started going to the lake in- stead of class. It was great. A radio station sponsored a bike marathon around Utica Square. Fireworks were sup- posedly '6banned again. On the 4th of July the whole state of Oklahoma was either at Keystone or Tenkiller Lake. The Great Raft Race II was postponed because of rain, but was rescheduled a week later. And then school started again. f nina:- AQQ .hz ' s L1 di 'ilu Nu . .

Some of my friends went camping in the mountains of Arkansas, but most people stayed in Tulsa. lt seemed like the whole population of our city was at Woodward. Desks and other -furniture were moved to be refinished for the new school. f'West- ward Ho-76 was a week in which we tried to raise IQBLIW, M M- money to buy equipment for the new Central. lt featured a dance, a Walk for Central, a chili supper, tours of the school, and the Alumni Daze directed by Al Martin. Spring marked the last days of school. We decided to cut class and go to the lake, but we were threat- ened by our deans to stay in class. There was something different about this spring. I guess it was knowing it was all over. K if Ei hwgtwf gli! vt ,f X 22? ,, ,ggi l i ,T 4 . , , . l Wim 1 Q :iam gsfi ' F! i ' fi all .-150' Mrfgsf , ..

There have been some very fine ones that have come to Tulsag Poco. Alice Cooper, Jimmy Spheeris, Shawn Phillips to name a few. p Almost everyone went' to the fair when it first started getting cold. Remember Gone With the Wind '? Ev- eryone made it to some shows during the year. When the leaves were falling, many of us just couldnt resist taking a peaceful walk at Philbrook. 1 f -f ob -1 ,tt , 0 r .I Q E 1 , f .L 1 wifi wen 5 zfgif ii l il' . ,.,.f-my U,-vf ffs .Q I ,v w ' - , gg Q 'W' M' 'nm Pi PART-TIIVIE JOB ,,.,J wwf Q nu v ..- al .- gd qw Q Ns a . l broke the monotony ot going to school by getting a part-time job. lt not only made school go faster. but also gave me money to spend.

CHRISTMAS Student Council sold Talking Christmas Cards , Camarata sold wrapping paper and NFL sold Santa Socks . Some homerooms decorated their doors. The art club made red and white decorations for the Christmas tree in the main hall. They also made a three- dimensional scene of the three Wise Men. There was the traditional Christmas as- sembly. As far as school was concerned, the best part of Christmas was getting out for twelve days. iw 4 f E T , JF -W ,N ,. ,gwffz ,HW H- may at . ,pf - ,W V 1 wg J I vw -g 6? v-ws' C, H W, .

The songs and dances that have been popular with Central students of the past 50 years were included. We even had Dazettes again. lt was nice to see our traditions back in the last DAZE at old Central. ',, Www, .,.,..,,,ff OKLAHOMA! was the Opera Club musical this year.

We put up the paper sculpture of the Three Wise Men. Classes and organiza- tions kept us busy by paying us to silk-screen T-shirts for them. sam' ,X Despite the hundreds of trophies and competitions won by Central athletes throughout the years, it's become harder and harder for us to compete with schools with more modern equipment and spacious practice fields. There will be many favorable changes next yearg an Olympic size swimming pool will replace our present small one. We'll have our own practice fields and tennis courts and an outdoor track. Hopefully this will help us once again experience years of victories and keep up thc spirit of Central. 90 ,nr A sim M. ....,,,,.MQQMmEQm ww, ,Q Q..W,,A . ,.g,,,....i , ,,.. .,,,, ,,,.,....,i,f.,....,.-,.1,...,,.,1. .am t ,,.:sfua.,,.,.,,,.-.-,, ,... .was Q.:-:wg . .,i,.sn.f. 1:-W., .

With a new Head Coach and some good returning players, many had hopes of having a winning season, but that fantasy was quickly laid to rest. Other than the All-City in which we defeated Washington 7-0, we came close to only one victory, and that was a 9-6 loss to East Central. Sometimes we would be close at halftime and third quarter we would find ourselves behind by twenty or thirty points. We did play good competition, however, Rogers, Kelly, McLain and Hale were all rated in the top ten when we played them. After the Muskogee game, many players left the squad due to a misunderstanding with Coach Goodsell. An O-8 record is cer- tainly nothing to be proud of, but we are K a young team and if it is any consolation we should improve with age. ,.,Q - 'W ,fi V ' . , , ,,., .

We beat Memorial in the season opener, but the season went downhill from there. We were 2-9 at mid season but after the return of Stewart, who led the conference in scoring with 22.1 pts. per game, the team seemed to gain new life going 7-l in the last half of the year. Most people were thinking about a State Playoff berth for the second straight year. After taking a ten point lead in the opening round of the Regionals against Washington, things were really looking good. But numerous turnovers quickly dwindled our lead, cost us the game, and ended our season. M Ed Stewart scores over a McLain defender.

This yearls juniors and sopho- mores will go to the new school with its colored desks and revolving seating in the auditorium and help to get it started. Se- niors will leave with the memory of this old building, as all seniors do. We'll all remember the old desks with the old writ- ing and the old cafeteria with the spitwad adorned paintings. We'll never forget the assemblies and the productions presented in our old South Auditoriumg we'll miss it all. The bad thing about being the last ones to go here is that we'll never be able to come back to this old school years later and see our old classrooms and teachers. It will be interesting to see what Public Service does with the building. But some- how, returning to pay an electric bill just doesn't hold the same charm. 123 Y 4 A A, i 11257 .V rg?

Secretary Mike Brinkmeyer, President xt W. 3, if Jim Hemphill, Vice President SENIOR OFFICERS As we, the final graduating class of the old Central High School, leave this year, we are convinced that we have truly shown what the SPIRIT of '76 is all about. ln keeping with the theme of the Bicentennial, we chose the Revolutionary story, Gramercy Ghost , as our play. When Mr. Teague jokingly threatened us with a senior prom in the boys' gym complete with juke box and popcorn machine after a bad start in our ticket sales, we straightened up and tried to sell more tickets. We made a profit on our se- nior T-shirts and finally won the Spirit Drum by outdoing the other classes in decorating our hall and showing lots of spirit at the pep assemblies. When we go, there will be no senior class to take our place in this building. We are the end of an era.

JUNIOR OFFICER Our class turned over a new leaf this year. We raised money! We sold lots of tickets to our class play, Up the Down Staircase, which finally started the kitty for our senior prom. Then we made more money by selling candy and Christmas candles. Spirit Week didn't go so well. We decorated the third floor, dressed in red and white, and yelled in the pep rally, but the seniors won the Spirit Drum. Since we'll be the first seniors at the new school, we chose new senior rings. Our class officers had an exchange day with the junior officers at Mason to get and idea of what a new school is really like. But, somehow it doesn't seem like much of a problem. I'm sure Weill be able to handle going to a new school.

And Mr. McHugh was best of all, because he really believed we were best. We entered con- testsg Mrs. Goode's homeroom ran away with the canned food drive.

Our band will be able to practice on the campus instead of at Lee Stadium at 6:00 in the morning. Red Feathers and Scalpers will have a place in the Commons area for hanging posters and banners. Stage Craft will have new equipment, and Opera Club and CAST will be performing on a brand new stage. All the changes will unfortunately no doubt cause some of our old and respected traditions to be forgotten and later replaced by others. 169 KEY CLUB We got off to an early start this year. By the time school began we had already held a pizza party, two car washes, and picnics with Camarata. A strong mem- bership drive was underway. We sold car- nations on days of the football games and held a pie-in-the eye contest to raise money. Our Sweetheart, Teresa Lassiter, was honored at a breakfast before school. At meetings, we planned service projects and upcoming events. Mr. Jaeger and Mr. Wightman, our sponsors, helped us get first in our division of Key Clubs.

We ordered uniforms and pom poms and learned cheers and chants. The twelve of us formed one squad so we could all cheer for wrestling, swimming, baseball and track. There was a lot of hassel, but there was a lot of reward too. SOPHOMORES: Rebecca Lowery, Gayle Almy, Ann Ingram, and Kim Schmidt. ,,,.,,..5 as-wa Row l: Betty Murphy, Mrs. Bennett. Jim Hemphill.

We included parts of the building that will not be in the new school and tradi- tions that will continue. To make the history section, we dug out old yearbooks to find out what had happened at Central in 60 years. We dedicated the 1976 Tom Tom to the old school and put its front door on the cover.

We never realized how much it took to make Hello Centrals until it was our turn. Homecoming required getting antique cars, helium balloons, writing a script and ordering flowers for Miss Central and her attendants. Our Halloween movie, Wait Until Dark drew a big crowd after the football game against Hale. Talking Christmas cards, eligibility rules, 50's day, senior of the month elections, skating parties, and Westward Ho! were some of our other projects.

Mr. Sittler and Mr. Wainwright helped us find jobs to further our careers and helped us plan activities. Being in VICA made school more worthwhile. DECA was a rewarding experience because I not only learned about manage- ment and distribution, but I had fun at the same time. I enjoyed participating in the many money raising projects, like the candle sale and the sale of the Dairy Queen books. The state conference in Oklahoma City and the Christmas party were both added pleasures.

One of our main purposes is to de- velop competent, aggressive business leadership. We started the year with candy sales to raise funds. For our Thanksgiving project we collected food for a needy family. We gave toys to the Salvation Army for needy children at Christmas. Our members entered competition at our state convention in April at the Cam- elot. We finished the year with a spring picnic. The girls who joined Camarata were anxious to make the club more active. Our new ribbons were silkscreened by Art Club. We sold Christmas wrapping paper and ribbon to boost our treasury. With some of the money, we bought food for a Vietnamese refugee family. We helped Opera Club sell tickets to Oklahoma! and ushered for class plays, the 50th Daze, and assemblies. Camarta challenged Key Club in a basketball game after school. We thought of ways to earn money so we could contribute the West- ward Ho! campaign and leave some money for next year's club. CAIVIARATA Y I :sn . sa.

We have envisioned our past dreams, and with their results fashioned new ones. The days of fame and glory were upon us maybe we deserve an encore. 209 THE TAFF Editor Betty Murphy Adviser Claudia Bennett Layout editor Jeanie Orcutt Opening Section Betty Murphy, editor Tamra Evans Academics Linda Yandell, editor Honors Julie Westland, editor Student Life Julie Westland, editor Sports Stan Geiger, editor Classes Linda Yandell, Senior Class Editor Jo Ann Gibson, Junior Class Editor Patsy Parker, Sophomore Class Editor Organizations Tamra Evans, co-editor Betty Murphy, co-editor History Tim Alexander, editor Index Linda Yandell, Editor Tamra Evans Jo Ann Gibson Patsy Parker Staff photographers Jim Hemphill Mike Keen Contributing photographer Pat Johnstone Professional photographers Don J urick Studio Glen Lawrence Enterprise School Photos Aerial photos Plane courtesy of Art Haggard INDEX AASS 203 Acrcc, Sherry 158 Acton, James 158, 186 Acuff, Bettye 146, 196 Adamson, Felicia 126,201 Adamson, Valerie 158 Adkins, Carrie 146 Ainsworth, Darrell 200 Alambar, Janie 126, 189, 196 Alexander, Chris 158 Alexander, Larry 24 Alexander, Timothy 206, 207, 178 Allen, Joy 200 Allen, Daniel 146 Almeida, Karen 146, 196, 198 Almy, Gayle 158, 177 Almy, Gene 146, 65 Alvarado, Antonio 158, 64 Amos, Ron 42, 46 Anderson, Cindy 158, 189 Anderson, Dale 146 Anderson.

The Turn of The Century A 5:4 1 Here is where our story begins, in an almost barren area in lndian Territory, a place without even a name. Here, in 1885, between the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge and the beginning of the Spanish-American War, a tiny combined church and schoolroom is opened to serve a mixed group of white and Indian children. Not until three years later, in 1898, will Tulsa become a city. Man was meant to fly! These were the cries of the world in 1903 when Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first suc- cessful airplane flights. Also, in this year, two new rooms are added to the originial Presbyterian Mission schoolhouse. ln 1905, the handful of students of this tiny building will graduate. While the terrible earthquake of 1906 is destroying the city of San Francisco, a brand-new yellow-brick schoolhouse is being built in Tulsa. lt is christened Tulsa High School and is the proud possessor of a small auditorium and a beautiful dome. ln 1907, Oklahoma becomes a state. ln years to follow, the South Pole will be reached, the first telephoneiconversation will be made, and the Prohibition act will be passed making the sale of liquor illegal. This, in turn, will bring about bootleg whiskey and bathtub gin. Also, plans will be made to replace the rapidly overcrowding Tulsa High School. Nineteen-eighteen is the first year of this new building. V lt is called Central High School.

The times are particularly hard during the early part of this decade and America tightens its belt, Bank robber John Dillinger is captured, the first quintuplets to survive beyond infancy are born, and in 1938, Central is the largest school under a single roof west of the Mississippi. The Shadow Knows. 216 Make Me A Child Again, lust for Tonight. -'Tom Tom '17 The Forties i World War Il begins. Many a Centralite is to die in this costly confrontation. ln 1945, the atomic bomb is dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima - we are not the onlfy ones to die. Peace is proclaimed. The Fifties The United States enters Korea. Again, along with many other Americans, many Centralities are to die. There is no war Plaque for the Korean War. Maybe we just became tired of counting our dead. Whatever the reason, there is no Korean War plaque for Central. Meanwhile, rock-n-roll is born, and in 1957, the first man-made satellite is constructed by Soviet scien- tists. The Sixties 1 V15 ?om'u CMN 5 NOT I Q4 I LD KEN. 1. K-4 Lt. Col. John Glenn becomes the first American to orbit in space in 1962. A year later, Dr. Martin Luther King becomes a national figure speaking for equal rights. In 1967, the Vietnam War is protested by a march on Washington. The decade comes to a climax with the landing on the moon. 51' The Seventies 5 0 W .4 Es 'N Ii. wo l The first women generals in American history are named in 1970, and the cries of Let Us Vote! are heard in 1971, making the national voting age eighteen, and 1976 marks the final year of the old red-brick high school in downtown Tulsa. Later, a new building is opened at 33rd and West Edison. It is called Central High School. 217 Win without Boasting, Lose without Excusing The history of sports at Central High School is long and varied. We could write a book - a series of books - and not come close to telling the story. Central holds more records, more state championships, than any other high school in Oklahoma. We have competed nationally and won. Our conference and district championships are beyond counting. Central holds the record of consecutive dual wrestling victoriesg Central holds an unapproachable record of 68 consecutive basketball victories. For decades Central owned the state cross country meet. Until one short year ago, Central had more all-state football players than any other Oklahoma high school. Several Braves went on to become college all- Americans like Perry Moss at Illinois and Jerry Coody at Baylor. Our 1930 wrestling team crowned six national champions. Henry Johnson was a high school all-American in basketball in 1972. Through the years Central has been led by many great and some legendary coaches. Names like Sam McBirney, C.C. Gracey, and Melvin Riggs appear in football. Wrestling greats were Rex Perry and Art Griffith who left Central to form a second dynasty at Oklahoma State University. Otto Endres was one of the best of Okla- homa's swimming coaches. Central basketball produced Grady Skillem, Eddie Sutton, and Jim Howard. William Lantz, who was inducted into Oklahoma's Sports Hall of Fame this part fall, forged an incredible record in track and cross country. . We choose to list only our state championships. During the early years the state champions were picked by newspaper sports writers, later there were play-offs and state tournam period of time Tulsa schools did not participate in the state play-offs in some sports and so other championships were conceivably lost.
