LEONARD HATHCOAT Mr. Leonard Hathcoat, teacher of social studies and English, is co-sponsor of the Senior Class. Mr. Hathcoat came to Chilocco in 1944, having taught previously in Indian Service schools in South Dakota. He is a native Oklahoman, of Cherokee ancestry, who received his college training from Northeastern College, Tahlequah, and the University of Arkansas at Fayette- ville. He holds the Bachelor and Master's Degrees in his teaching field. During his years at Chilocco Mr. Hathcoat has sponsored every class from freshman to senior, and at one time assisted in sponsoring the Indian Dra- matics Club. The students at Chi1oCCO have learned to 1ook to Mr. Hathcoat for friendly, enthusiastic encouragement in all their activities. The Senior Class of 1953 seek to show their high regard for Mr. Hathcoat in dedicating to him the 1953 CHILOCCOAN. -2- FOREWORD As little babes we started out in life, and later to school-eager, trusting, and willing to learn. Through the years we have proven ourselves worthy and capable of taking our places in our various com- munities, our states, and our nation, as substantial, American citizens. The memorable days spent here at Chilocco will endure, and will ever bean inspiration to us as we go forth into our different fields of work. The experiences shared with our friends, our classmates and teachers, here on the campus, will -3- always remain treasured memories of our high school days. These memories will tend to make our lives richer, more whole- some, and more satisfying. But as we go forth from Chilocco with hearts and spirits lifted toward the future, may Chilocco never cease supplying its constant, advantage-giving opportunities for growth to young people such as we. And may it continue to leave a spot of tenderness in the hearts of all its gradu- ates for their beloved Alma Mater.

WALL Chilocco provides education, not merely in terms of books, credits, and diplomas, but education in terms of preparation for living and earning. It is generally agreed that such preparation is more important for the future of our nation now than ever before. We are living in an amazing world in which technology has altered the pattern of livingg and to live in this kind of world calls for not only knowing the three R's, but also a great many things which yesterday's youth did not know, could not know, had no need to know. It has been your good fortune to attend Chilocco, which offers excellent voca- tional training and effective experiences in citizenship. This school operates on the theory that good citizenship and pro- ficiency in a vocational skill are learned through action. Actual participation in -5. school activities and school government have given you a good foundation for be- coming constructive citizens in any com- munity where you may live. If you have developed a saleable vocational skill, this will help you to make a living. You are standing on the threshold of a new and exciting phase of your life. Some of you will continue your educationg others will go directly into jobs. Most of you will leave Chilocco. It is my hope that you will put into practice the training you have received, so that soon you will take your places in the communities of your choice as self- sufficient, contributing citizens.

L. E. CORRELL +3- GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1953 It is always a pleasure for me, as your .lf-lwol superintendent, to write a brief message of congratulations and advice for witir little class annual. In ,going back through the records year ,ilter year-, I am forcibly impressed with llie percentage of young men and young wxoiffieri who graduate from our school Jliat rrialaze a success and are absorbed in the stream of our American citizenry, l reryeivcd a letter recently from a young lxiflu' graduate of this school whose record lli lliis school was not among the most l-nf-fiiii-:iging at the time of her graduation. l l,','fllli to quote a small portion of her .l-ltflr to me under date of March 23 as .llllltJi.IliIlL1 for you young people who are I-lflililating, and other graduates, to think 'fliliiil,, and I quote: 'l realize I could have made much 11111113 ol' my opportunities there. How- 'xl-r, I profited much from my nnciation with the students and malty there. I'm deeply grateful for 'lll ol' the help and training I re- fli-iiff,-rl at Chilocco. It is a wonderful fllxwc of opportunity and the finest .wliool anywhere. It is too bad that llvli realization sometimes comes only lller the rich opportunities are past. ,wli year I am called upon more and invite by prospective employers to write it'lill'S of rl-commendation for graduates mil former students of this school. It is l' .ws a pleasure when I can go to a file itil xwitr- what I would consider an ex- Vlll, ill recommendation. It is regrettable ii llic tiles indicate such graduates will was not what it should have been 'lll' lil-re in school because you can only I ci recommendation based on facts l not sentimental statements. l -9- You may know how to do something well but unless you show our employees you can perform your duties efficiently, they will not be in a position to help you with recommendations for appointments, promotions, and advancements in years to come. More than anything else, employ- ers of today want to know Is he or she responsible? Time after time they say, We will train them if they are willing to work and are responsible and have the right attitudef' So, if you accept employment which I hope you will and if, for any reason, you have to be off duty be sure the employer is notified by phone, letter, or telegram or personal notification but prior to the time you are supposed to report for duty so other arrangements can be made for work to be carried on. Do not contribute to the belief of too many people that Indians are not responsible. We know that is an incorrect statement but too often I have heard that statement made by thoughtless people. Do your part to overcome this by proving that state- ment is incorrect. Deeds speak louder than words. I am proud of this year's class as I am of every class that completes their work here at our school. I wish I could sincerely believe that you would be 100fZ successful but history repeats itself. We will not be able to expect 100721 success. Why doesn't this class band together to explode that theory that you can never have 1002, success? What joy that would be to all of us that love Chilocco as well as to you and your classmates! L. E. CORRELL, Superintendent GREETINGS TO THE STUDENTS- MR. ERNEST C. MUELLER The 1953 CHILOCCOAN is a memory book for the students, employees and friends of Chilocco. You are now reading this message because you belong to one of those groups. Chilocco speaks for itself. I find that its graduates are a successful group of people. We can not say the same for those young people who dropped out of school, after attending only a few weeks, a month or even a year. At this particular time, I want to congratulate the seniors and the 5th-year Special Navajo Program students who are completing their education at the Chilocco Indian Agricultural School. No doubt, many of them will go far, because of the training that they have received here. Others will seek additional educational training in vocational schools, colleges, nurses training schools or through On the Job Training. But the foundation for their advancement was laid by them here at Chilocco. Had they not had the in- spiration, the desire and the aptitude to benefit by the opportunity offered them, I am sure that they would not have com- pleted their work, and so again let me congratulate the seniors and the 5th year Special Navajo Program pupils on the wonderful progress that they have made during their short stay here at Chilocco. You will recall the many happy days and appreciate them more as time goes on. ERNEST C. MUELLER, Principal. -101 1 Mr. fii37ll'if,'f' H.

Our freshman year was one devoted to getting adjusted to and acquainted with the rules and ways of Chilocco. The first freshman football team was organ- ized, Lillie Morrell was the high-stepping drum major of the school band. Class officers for the year were: Sequoyah England, president, James Schell, vice president, Lillie Morrell, secretary, James Bacon, Sergeant-at-arms. Sponsors were Miss Kay Ahrnken and Mr. Donald J. Royer. Our sophomore year was a successful one. We succeeded in winning the spring play day event. Nora Jean Hukill won girls' annual posture contest. Our class also placed second in the 1950 Amateur Hour program. Our candidates for Campus Princess and Brave, Zelma Warrior and Daniel Lee Williams, were the victors. Class officers for the year were: Luther Hunter, president, Andy Toney, vice presi- dent, Virginia Benson, secretary, Morgan Little Sun, sergeant-at-arms. Sponsors were Mr. Leonard Hathcoat and Mr. Owen C. Grant. In our junior year, we returned, ready to conquer anything. We overran fall play day and we later won the spring play day. The 1951-52 football queen was Nora Jean Hukill and the campus Princess and Brave CLASS PROPHECY- May 1, 1968 Dear Norma: I've been keeping up with most of the classmates since graduation and I thought you might like to know where some of them are. It's really surprising how tal- ented that Class of 1953 was and how famous many of them have become. First. let me tell you how surprised I was to hear that you've taken Miss Ross's place as instructor. How is Miss Ross since her retirement? I hear Andy Toney is principal there at Chilocco now, and has a staff of women in his Academic Department. How is his wife. the former Joan Fixico, these days? So Maynard Levi has replaced Mr. Col- glazier as boys' adviser. has he? I'm sure all the boys are as well-behaved now as Maynard was in those days. Also they tell me that Vann Isaac is coach there now and they are still trying to beat Ponca City in basketball. They say all other sports have been given up so they can practice basektball the vear 'round. Dallas Miller has opened up an ex- clusive dress shop in Chicago and has as four of his lovely models Norma Secon- were both juniors, Virginia Benson, a Cherokee from Tulsa and Junior Jackson, a Cherokee from Grove. Prom time-and Jean Bevenue was selected to reign over the festivities. Daniel Lee Williams served as vice president of the Student Council during the school term. Class officers were: Junior Jackson, president: Freddie Howerton, vice president, Lupe Gooday, secretary, Perry Wilson, sergeant-at-arms. In this, our senior year, we are well pleased with our record of being a win- ning class. To start the year out right, Emma Jean Hendricks was named Miss Chilocco and represented Chilocco in the annual Arkalahlah celebration in Ar- kansas City. Vera Gourd was chosen Foot- ball Queen for 1952-53. In the basketball world, four Chilocco cagers were listed on the Northern 8 All-star roster: George England, Junior Jackson, Dean Jackson and Fred Howerton. Jack Wilson and Fred Howerton were named to the second All-conference team in football. A loyal senior, Vernon Hunter was elect- ed campus Brave. The Chiloccoan King and Queen are Sequoyah England and Marion Cunningham. The mighty seniors won both the fall and spring play days, making this the only class to win five consecutive playdays. Valedictorian and Salutatorian honors went to Virgil George England, Jr. and Sequoyah England, cousins. dine, Betty Buckley, Ginger Coleman, and Lorene Cotanny. Bessie Ballou is quite an important woman in the Womens Air Force now. Pat Cannon sings on Grand Ole Opry these days and Zelma Warrior is touring the world as an opera star. George England, editor of the New York Tribune, has been filling his sports col- umns with former Chiloccoans lately. Donnie Cramp and Charlie White have the highest batting averages in the major league this year. Jack Wood was the highest paid baseball player since Di- Maggio. Luther Hunter won the top coach award for the year 1968. Jack Wilson was named the second hunchback of Notre Dame and Eugene Atkins, for the past several years, has been lightweight wrest- ling champ of the world. Incidentally Joan Miller is still around to help Eugene spend his money and count his trophies. Don Beaver is now managing the Tulsa Oilers. We were all so proud of Freddie How- erton when he swept the country in the last presidential campaign. Let's hope he knows how to carry on a parliamentary Procedure meeting by now. Mildred De- Poin and Beverly Wagoshe are his secre- aries. -24, Ralph Keen and Sequoyah England are partners in one of the largest law firms in New York. Jack Junior Jackson, now a resident of Hawaii, was recently elected U. S. Sena- tor from there. No doubt he will deliver some stirring speeches while in office. Barbara Luke, as you probably know is a missionary to Africa. Tom Keener and Junior Lewis are big rodeo stars now. For some time now, Warner Brothers have been trying to sign them up to replace those old Western stars, Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. Shirley Jones, surprising as it may sound, is now a chemistry teacher in her home town, Hugo. Arnetice Bigmosquito and Jean Bevenue are still sticking pretty close together as scrubwomen in Madison Square Garden where they can see the sporting events free. Do you recall how Elizabeth Brave used to wish to be a mortician? Well, her highest ambition has been realized. She has gone into partnership with the Ensley Morrises. Mary Louise Lena owns the Purity Cafe in Arkansas City now. She always did like to work there. Remember how Charley Chewey and the Clodhoppers' Band used to thrill us all with their hillbilly music at our assemblies? That band has really gone places. They have replaced Leon McAul- liffe on KVOO in Tulsa with Mary Ann Cochran and Carol Grigsby as their soloists. Levada Smith, Trudy Bigpond and Annie Ruth Ripley are serving as angels of mercy at the Memorial Hospital in Arkansas City. Gene Burris, the famous broncho buster, is one of their most fre- quent patients, Imogene Columbus lassoed a million- aire from Texas and has learned to brag like a real Texan. Margaret Lee and Margaret Wagoshe have formed a nationally known airline known as Margaret and Margaret, In- corporated, with Jane Taugelchee as their trim hostess. I was sorry to hear that that widely feared bandit, Lupe Gooday, had robbed Mr. Garrison and the Chilocco Bank of all their money last week before Police- woman Corrine Williams could come to the rescue. A nationwide alarm has been put out for him, so be careful. You know Lupe! Tony Wilson and Louis Green turned out to be preachers. Junior Ahdunko is now chief camera- man in Vernon Hunter's movie studio in Hollywood. Vernon purchased M G M and Gloria Batt is the leading lady in all his latest productions. Unbelievable as it may sound, Johnny Narcomey and James Ellis are dignified college professors now and the presidency of the University of Illinois is being de- cided between them. Ronnie McLemore has been named Romeo of- the 20th Century since he replaced Victor Mature on the screen. I Emmitt Bean and Charles Skinner have finally compromised and formed a duet very popular with the bobby soxers. James Nelson is a leading young doc- tor in Oklahoma City now and Lenora Littlecreek is his office assistant. Leo Roach, who re-enlisted in the army after graduation, is being considered by President Howerton to be Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the U. S. Armed Forces. Crosslin Smith is the sheriff in Musko- gee County and is doing a fine job of cleaning up the place as he calls it. On my vacation a few weeks ago I visited the State Fair in Muskogee. Many of our classmates have gone into the carnival business. Edith Wesley married the owner and was at the gate helping Frances Moreno and Sally Battiest sell tickets. They told me to be sure and see Johnny Lee Vance, the strong man who was making all the girls swoon with his amazing feats of strength. As I wandered around with a bag of popcorn I noticed Nora and Milford King and their eleven boys having a rip-roaring time on the merry-go-round. Nora Jean always said she wanted a football team of her own. The fat lady of the circus was none other than Minnie Jane Smith, now tip- ping the scales at 303 pounds. The funniest clown act that I ever did see was Donald Mendez, and all little Donald did was act natural. Jimmy James was the cute organ grind- er with Eugene Bohanan perched on his shoulder holding the cup. Perry Wilson had entered his prize Hereford bull in the stock show and be- fore the Grand Champion ribbon could be placed on the bull, it tthe bulll dropped dead of malnutrition, The honorable judge was none other than Dan Williams. Clara Pittman and Jimmie Gail Gourd were the tight rope walkers while Elissie Belle Celestine did a graceful ballet dance to the tune of t'Rocket 69 . In one of the side shows they were ad- vertising the two-headed man, but they couldn't fool me. I could tell it was Just Dean Jackson with Jack Jackson stuck down in his shirt. - Well, Norma, it's getting late. Recess is over. I have 25 children this year first graders, that is and I have promised to tell them a story about the Class of l953. Your friend.

Sponsor, Fifth-year students Leader, Special Navajo Sponfgl-7 Fitls-yigiegiiggnt Classroom teacher Program Classroom teacher S A place has been made for the second fifth-year graduating class of the Special Navajo Program at Chilocco. This class has achieved a goal, and fulfilled a desire. Fifty-four fifth-year boys and girls graduated this year. All of them will have jobs. They will make a good living for themselves. Through their dseire for the better things of life, they have become literate and are equipped with the necessary learnings and skills to earn a living. They have gained basic knowledges and skills that help them to understand general customs and manners that differ from their own, They are thinking in English as well as in Navajo. They will become a part of the community in which they live, able to take their place and make a contribution to the group. These achievements are the results of hard work. The boys and girls have shown through their efforts that they have made the most of the opportunities at Chilocco. Making a vocational choice and taking part in the on-the-job-trainin' rovid for them here at Chilocco altiadp nears? towns are part of the training that has helped the ,boys and girls master a voca- tion of their choice. This class has com- pleted training in home service, dormitory attendant, waitressing, hospital attendant cry cleaning and pressing, auto mechanicsl shoe repair, painting and carpentry. To the. Class: Going to school for most of you is over, but learning something new is always possible. You have learned many things in school and the things you have learned will help you to make good use of the opportunities you will have and help you to be good American citizens in the communities in which you live. What you do for yourself, from now on, de- pends on your own efforts. The time has come when Indian boys and girls must help themselves. They must become the leaders for their own people. They must solve their own problems of security, happiness and success.

Students of Cosmetology. Post graduate training provides an opportunity for the high school graduate to train in a vocational field of his or her choice thus qualifying for employ- ment. Post graduate training is of two types: first, it is a continuation of the vocational training started in high school, enabling the trainee to complete the training which was started during the regular high school career. This is often necessary because it is virtually impossible for a student to complete the requirements for high school graduation and for a thorough vocational V Q.,- James Billy, Shoe Repair and Leather- craft.

None of these boys finished high school at Chilocco. training certificate within the traditional four-year time. Therefore, it is often necessary for the individual to spend from a few months to a year in com- pleting the vocation of his choice. Second, high school graduates who have completed their regular high school course of study in the public high school where vocational courses are limited, oftentimes enroll at Chilocco to receive specific training in a vocation. Post graduate training is offered in agriculture, home economics and all trades. .461 l ! I 1 in l x I fl if 'L an K? J -icq V'-JL 12 ., --L52 L95 J sq C 'S' X A. u 1 W VGCATIGNS . wp , -' .

Kivett, Mr. Arthur Jones, Instructor of Department Head of Instructor of Agriculture Agriculture Agriculture Vocational agriculture at Chilocco offers a wide variety of opportunities for boys interested in farming as a vocation or as a sideline business. The course of study is set up for both its interest-arousing and its informational value. We offer competent instruction, a variety of farm activities, and an oppor- tunity for outside recreation. The boys interested in poultry have the opportunity of working in a modern poul- try plant that includes hatcheries, brood- ers, ranges, laying houses, modern killing and dressing equipment, plus many other conveniences of the poultry industry. In addition to this, they work with a trained instructor experienced in all phases of the poultry business. The Chilocco dairy can boast of one of the best herds of Holstein cows in the Southwest. It is complete in instruction and production, The boys interested in dairying can get practical experience in whole milk production. They learn, first hand, the processes involved in pasteuri- ging, homogenizing, bottling and deliver- ing to the student dining hall. They sepa- rate milk, make butter, cheese, chocolateg mix and freeze ice cream. They attend dairy shows to show the school's animals. It has become common to be at the top of the class. .Our livestock enterprise consists of a fine, large herd of Hereford cattle, Duroc -TGTSGY hogs, Hampshire sheep and Mor- gan horses. The boys actually do Such jobs at tattooing, vaccinating, registering the animal, and common veterenarian operations, as well as selecting, showing, shearing, and butchering the animals. When the Chilocco boys go out on the range to work cattle, they go mounted on Morgan horses. Our gardens, vineyards and orchards provide training for the agriculture boy, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables for the entire student body. The boys see and operate modern irrigation methods, spray- ing machines and dusting equipment. They learn the meaning of quality prod- ucts when they select, prepare and exhibit the produce of the garden at the county fair each year. Our field crop enterprise is large and diversified. The boys work with experi- enced farmers on modern machinery in a planned system of cropping. The crops we raise are varied, but the system of handling the crop and the soil is an exact science, figured out in advance for each field. Our program of Soil and Moisture Conservation is one of the most complete to be found on any farm, an place. The agriculture boys see this in operation and help make it work. A We have more than hard work studying at Chilocco. We enjoy hay rack rides, parties and dinners in a wholesome at- mosphere of good fellowship. We believe that farming is more than a way to make a living. It is a way of life itself. .43- AGRICULTURE PERSONNEL- f' I 1 X y bi .Iii , . if I 91 45 if i I-il Q 4 I i E M 1 pu FW y 41 ff:--,Z I geek M: , Q Q fa ' ' pf' f ..,- f 3' -. ,f .131 .5 .2 ' V A , . , 232 .

Some of the special courses which the Senior and Junior girls may select'for their training are Cosmetology, Weaving, Laun- dry, Pre-nursing, Tailoring, Matron Training and Waitress Training. Waitress Training is the newest course to be offered. There are currently sixteen girls in the class. The project is a part of the department trade school class, de- signed to train waitresses, pastry cooks, general restaurant and hotel cooks, and fry and short order cooks. They operate a cafe for the public seven days a week, serving three meals a day. It is located in the room formerly occupied by the em- ployees' club. The senior and junior girls who do not wish to select a special field, continue with the regular homemaking program. These girls have the privilege of living in a modern cottage for a period of five weeks, a privilege much coveted by the girls in the other chosen fields. The cot- tage is the scene of many interesting ex- periences. The girls especially enjoy participating in buffet suppers, dinner parties, slumber parties, and picnics as well as carrying on the duties of a well- organized home. One semester the cottage girls enjoy the Nursery School children, who are a part of the Practice Cottage MRS. PEARL COLGLAZIER, Department Head of Home Economics plan, especially at the noon period as the children have their dinner in the cottage dining room. In addition to Practice Cot- tage and Nursing School, the Homemaking girls have courses in Vocational Guidance and Practices, Family Relationships, Tail- oring, Special Foods Problems and First Aid. On completion of the First Aid course the girls who pass the Red Cross and Life Saving examination are given Red Cross Certificates. The Sophomore and Freshman girls take the regular Homemaking courses which are Clothing, Foods, Home Life, Household Economics and Personal Re- lationships. A majority of the girls belong to one of the six clubs sponsored by the depart- ment. The clubs sponsor an annual spring party which is one of the social activities on the campus anticipated by the boys as well as employees. This year the Home Economics depart- ment brought to the campus three foreign students, one from Formosa, another from Finland and a third from Venezuela, for their assembly program. The student body enjoyed hearing about the family life and teen-age problems peculiar to each of the countries. Each year the Home Economics staff, assisted, by three members from each of the junior, sophomore and freshman class- es, selects a Home Economics honor student from the senior class. This honor is coveted by the girls, therefore, it en- courages each to work just a little harder than she might otherwise. -52- HOME ECONOMICS STAFF- ! 1 1 ' a wlim ,,,V,g,.l Z, ,,, , f ,ai f ,mf ?

Schell, Instructor of Cosmetology The course in cosmetology is relatively new at Chilocco, having finished its first year in February. It is a pre-employment course of theory and practice offered to junior and senior girls. In order to qualify, a girl must be at least 16 years of age, and pass a physical examination with Wasserman test. She must then be reg- istered as a student with the State Board of Cosmetology at Oklahoma City. Upon completion of the required 1000 hours, the student is registered with the state board for one of the three examina- tions given in Oklahoma City the first weeks in January, April, and September, Ezlith Wesley gives a permanent. Elizabeth Coker brushes hair' 3 l s respectively. After passing the state examination, they are eligible to apply for operators' licenses. After being licensed. they are fully qualified to work in any phase of the work in any beauty shop. Cosmetology as a career not only de- manos a high degree of manual skill, but also demands exercise of such mature qualities as responsibility, courtesy, and emotional control. In addition, the ability to please patrons and make friends is a valuable asset. The cosmetologist who possesses these characteristics stands a good chance for personal advancement. iv uf 2 as , ir v f - , f-14 I A ' ,Lf fry L . .Ml f, ng 9' ii . . A nl, f ' M .

Chilocco graduates may be found in industry and professions throughout the United States. Plant operators, firemen, electricians, printers, shop foremen, lino- type operators, pressmen, trouble shooters, auto-mechanics, aviators, farmers, weld- ers, cleaning and pressing Workers, plumbers, carpenters, painters, cooks, r 5 to o Ja 1 , i Mr. Virgil England, Instructor of Printing Mr. James E. Joice, Instructor of Leathercraft Mr. Edgar Scroggins, Co-Chairman of Trades Engineer-Plant Operator bakers, teachers, nurses, lawyers, and professional men and women. This is all because they have learned a trade or a portion thereof at Chilocco. Some use this training to work their way through college or other schools of higher learning, some use it as a supple- ment to another field of interest, but most of the Chilocco graduates with three to four years of training in a particular field become skilled craftsmen and need look to no one for continued support. All they need is an opportunity to use their training. -U 5 ,gf gf 4 ,X 1 I Inlgr' Cjtlenn C- Limb, Mr. Louis Thompson, mc Of of Plumbing Instructor of Auto Mechanics -60. Mr. L. C.

The Constitution was written by a committee appointed at the annual meeting in 1916. It was read and adopted by the organization May 23, 1917. The first graduating class recognized is that of 1894, boasting 13 members. The first twelfth-grade class graduated in 1927 with a membership of 30. In 1928 there were 27, followed by 52 in 1929. Receiving diplomas in 1930 were 122 graduates, the largest class in the school history to that time. In all, since 1894, more than 3000 in- dividuals have received diplomas and have been received into the Chilocco Alumni Association. These graduates are now to be found following their chosen trades or professions in all states of the union and in foreign countries as well. They have participated in the two World Wars, and in the Korean Conflict.

Bro- thers and sisters, parents, sons and daughters, grandparents and grandchil- dren, are to be found on the list of Chilocco Alumni. Chi1occo's own employ- ees' roster carries a total of 22 who hold Chilocco diplomas. The Alumni Association is a closely- knit organization, always interested in its school.

CHALLENGES AND CHEERS- ll! CI - I Y 1 . Mr. James A. Choate, Coach and Director of Boys' Athletics Chilocco is a member of the Northern Conference, composed of the follow- ing schools: Blackwell, Bristow, Chilocco, Guthrie, Cushing, Perry, Stillwater, and Ponca City. That this is one of the strong- er athletic conferences in the state is shown by the fact that Ponca City, in football, was defeated in the finals of the play-off in 1952, and in the semi-finals of 1953. In basketball, Ponca City also was defeated in the finals of the state tournament in 1953, and they won the 1953 wrestling championship. Stillwater finished second in track in 1952, and recently won the 1953 state title in track. In the year just closing, Chilocco has done very well in the conference, win- ning two and losing five in footballg defeating Cushing and Bristow. In basket- ball, Chilocco finished even in conference play, with seven wins and seven losses, finishing with a .500 for conference play, defeating every team in the conference at least once with the exception of Ponca City and Cushing. In the season, 10 out of 23 games were won. We were second in the conference track meet in 1952, behind Stillwater, as well as being defeated only by Ponca City in baseball in the same year for the Northern 74- err' IPF p ..,k 2 .K I t , x . ,,, fa. I xx by H 4 V', -1 ti'i i tli S ' i A Qiif fi! I ' Mr. James A. Bearskin, Wrestling half of the conference. Ponca City was defeated in the regional baseball tourna- ment, however, we lost to Enid in the semi-finals. In 1953, we finished fourth in the conference track, and again were defeated only by Ponca City in baseball. Ponca City, again, went to the state tournament. The wrestling team did very well, how- ever, they were handicapped in the heavier divisions. The lighter boys did well, Albert Hood and Daniel Scott going to the state meet. The outlook for the year 1953-54 is not so good. There will be only seven letter- men back, however, a fairly good group of BH team boys will return. Being juniors, they should be much improved. There will also be about 10 squadmen back. The complete basketball team is graduating, leaving only one letterman. For the spring sports, track and baseball, the outlook is better. More lettermen will return than will be graduated and the track team should be much improved with the sophomores improving as well as several freshmen. The baseball team will lose Tony Wilson, one of the best pitchers in the state, however, a good team should be in prospect for next year.

The course is elective for junior and senior girls, who meet three class periods a week. Particular attention is given to posture and corrective exercises. A posture con- test is held in the spring and one girl is chosen by four judges out of all the classes to receive the Posture Award. Everyone must have some form of exer- cise in order to stay alive and be in good health. This is accomplished in girls' phy- sical education classes by calisthenics, wand drills, Indian club swinging, march- ing and tumbling. Coordination of every part of the body is stressed so that all forms of exercise may be performed with the least expenditure of energy in the most graceful and efficient manner. Basketball, softball, volleyball, shuffle- board, ping pong, badminton and tennis are also taught so that the students may W7 , .f ' K . 4 , v -g .. ,IQ- f', if .rf GRACE PLUS VITALITY- f- Mrs. Christine Scroggins. Instructor. Girls' Physical Education learn to play the games and to get along with their team-mates. These games de- velop leadership and good sportsmanship as well as furnishing enjoyment. Intra-murals in basketball, softball, and volleyball are offered for after-school hours to all the girls who wish to par- ticipate. There were 56 girls that took part in the softball intra-murals, 72 girls that took part in the basketball intra-murals, while 72 girls took part in the volleyball tournament. Every two years, the physical education classes present a spring program. All girls taking the course participate in the pro- gram, both as a part of their training and as a means of overcoming self-conscious- ness. Play Days are held in the spring and fall. All classes compete against each other and there is always a keen com- petition. F., , 1 : ' 4 2' ' .f. 3451? F 'Q - .. m i., I g , , . is v e? . A 2 -4 ., . - V J .W i i , ul i - f .

It has proved to be a satisfactory connecting chain be- tween the Administration andthe Student Body. Representatives from each grade and department are selected to the Student Council at the beginning of each school year. These students are elected members of the Student Council for one-year in- tervalsg thus, each year elections are held. One student may serve but two years on the Council. The Student Council now belongs to the State Association of Student Councils and the National Association of Student Councils. This is the second year that the Council members have been awarded the National pins. At the Installation, which was held after the Councilmen were elected, they were accepted by Principal Ernest C. Mueller and Superintendent L. E. Correll, after which each Council member was presented a National Stu- dent Council pin. Since 1936, each spring the Student Council at Chilocco has been host to all the Indian Schools in Oklahoma and from Haskell Institute at the Student Council conference. Along with the social events' of the campus which the Student Council plar1S, the school calendar is also made by the Student Council with help from the Ad- ministration. The main purpose of the Student Council is to discuss pr0b19mS concerning the student body and student government. Trees are planted each sprmg in remembrance of each Student -Council and the work it has achieved during that period. -.8 2- 1 f 4115, 1' Wx R iff ' 5 Y-,Nik Y 'A '44 L Q ANNUAL STAFF AT WORK: Seated: Nora Jean Hukill, Sequoyah England.
