Classen High School - Orbit Yearbook (Oklahoma City, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 98 of the 1932 volume:

HEXDREWORD The METEOR represents a temporary project, replacing the ORBIT, to meet the requirements and wishes of the students during a year of financial dif- ficulties. It is the sincere wish of the Staff that the magazine will merit the approval of the Class of '32 and the Classen student body and faculty. We believe that the METEOR, a new type of publication, will serve as well as the Orbit the primary purpose of a highschool annual, to recall' to pleasant memory the friendships formed and the experiences encountered during the eventful years ofa senior highschool course.

What a thrill and sense of joy the word brings to every sophomore and junior, and how proud are the members of the Senior Class to have attained the name! Classen Seniors of 1932 have just reason for being proud of their successes, both individually and as a class. Cf the numerous and worthy attainments of the class, one of the most outstanding has been their loyal and devoted leadership. This leadership has ever looked and strived toward the accomplishment of greater successes for Dear Old Classen High. The philosophy of Classen is typified by the spirit of service. XVhat an ideal! Our fondest dream is that students at Classen may develop unselfishness, for- bearance, grace, poise, courage, efficiency, ideals, vision, and thought of the people who need help in the solution of their problems that are common to all mankind. Then add to this the will and the power to serve. The past is not dead. In reality it lives for those who have the will and power to make it live. The past is constantly being reborn in our best plans for the future. We trust that as individuals, and as the Senior Class of 1932, you will draw freely and wisely on the past in behalf of a more glorious future which you will help to build. Classen has faith in you!

Representing the center of government in Classen, the Executive Council is composed of the major officers of the Student Council, the three class presidents and a representative of the Classen Life. Miss Etha Townsend and Mr. Fred Lyon are the sponsors for this important council. The Executive Council aids in problems of Student government by acting as the nucleus of the Student Coun- cil. Co-operation is sought in every possible manner in the governmental matters of the school. As a result of the team work between these two bodies we have the following movements, each one of which proved a great benefit to the studentsg the spon- soring of the Safety Drive, better order in assembly, and the new home room schedule. Classen was represented at Topeka at the Student Council Conference through the efforts of the Executive Council, by Carol Boone, Student Council president, and Karl Rusch. president of the Senior Class. lIn1tersfCittiy Council The Inter-City Council, which was organized to promote good will and to discuss problems which confronted the three High Schools of Oklahoma City, is composed of ive representatives and one sponsor from Classen, Central, and Capitol Hill. Meeting three times a year, once in each school, they seek to col- laborate with the three student councils. The members from Classen this year were: Carol Boone, Bill Bullis, A. Mull, Aileen Simms, and Frank Hamilton, with Miss Etha Townsend as their sponsor. The one important project to be undertaken for the coming year is the preparation of a code of Sportsmanship for the incoming Sophomores. 1932 Page Eight 7 X , ,104 K f e-5 fi f ' Y W lllzffem' Senior Ulliliiitcers l Kimi, Rest-u, pre.sin'm1f,- EDITH VVOOD, 5C'l'1'f'fl77'-X'.'

As its beautiful 'farewell gilt the class presented 21 cyclorzuna of blue to harmonize with the other zuiditoriuni furnishings. Aided by the sponsors and counselor, the officers planned the Senior Breakfast, at lovely ultziir given at the Skirvin Roof Garden exclusively for the gracluuting class. The prospects for the future success of the individuals of '32 are bright. Their record has been an especially fine one.

Undergraduate Classes The Junior Class of 1932 has the distinction of presenting Classen's tirst junior play, The Charm School, starring Emily McAlister and Paul Beach. Also, Chester Goggin won Hrst place in the state Interpretive Reading contest. The fine work done by the class could not have been accomplished without the splendid leadership of Bill Bates, president, Frank Hamilton, vice-president, Chester Goggin, secretary, and Aileen Simms, treasurer together with the cheerful guidance of its sponsors, Miss Vera Campbell, Miss Lucile Tandy, Miss Marguerite Rossington, and Mr. Richard DeLaubenfels. The Sophomore Class has more honors than is usual for a group so recently come to Classen. It boasted one-half of the thirty-six all-A students for the first semester. Two sophomores placed first and second in the Mid-State extempo- raneous speech contest. In the annual oratorical contest three of the finalists were from their ranks. The president of the class, Frederick Zahn, was recently elected school treasurer for the coming year. The vice-president is Neal Day, the secretary, Doris Wliite, and the treasurer, Ned Fry.

A BICITCJOI' The Coavching Sttaillf VVESLEY FRY, football and track, EARL COFFEY, miizor sportsg HAROLD MILLER, basketball and baseballg RETHA WAVE HULET, girls' sports. Under the leadership of an exceptionally line staff ol coaches and ZlSSlSlZllllS the athletic teams of the 1931-32 season have made another excellent record for the Classen tiles. Football, under Coach VVes Fry, proved to be another record breaker. The Comets were victorious in their eleven game schedule, winning ten games and losing only one. Assistant coaches Fred Lyon and Cy Young rendered invaluable assistance in their coaching of the line and backfreld. Coach Skimmer Millers basketball and baseball squads were successful. The basketball team won the major part of its scheduled games, while the diamond crew tied with the Capitol Hill Redskins for the city title. Coach Earl Coffey's golf, swimming and tennis crews turned in another record breaking count. The golf team won the city title, and took second in the Tri-State invitation tournament. The swimming team took the city title and won second in the state Fmals. The tennis team won five titles in the city, conference and state meets. Miss Retha Wlave Hulet's volleyball team set a new record in the race for the volleyball title. The Comet girls ran up a record score in the opening game of the season. to win the crown. undefeated. 1932 Page P zfty-Six Meteor Football CONNI13 AIfIRENS, En CASEY, GEORGE Moss, BOB TENNANT, Uris WAL1.1s.

The 1931 Football team, under the direction of Coach XYes Fry, turned in another enviable record, setting the pace for state high school crews, and piling up two titles during the season. The race for the city crown found the Frymen on top of the heap, with easy victories over the traditional rivals, Central and Capitol Hill. The other city crews failed to get to first base in the race for the Mid-State Conference title. Led by Captain Jack Sweet, the Fry brigade swept the conference foes for a straight stretch of wins, to take the crown and repeat their performance of the two pre- ceding years. In the opening games of the season, the Frymen piled up a record total. In each of the first two frays the Comets amassed totals of 59 to win. while the opponents made only seven markers. Guthrie went the way of the other teams in a 19 to 0 battle. In what was perhaps the most sensational game of the season, against a team with a much heavier line, the Comets came from behind in the last quarter to take the victory from Shawnee 19 to 7. It was the first time the Comets ever succeeded in licking the VVolves on their home field. After a slack in the record breaking pace the Comets took a three point margin Win from the Norman Tigers. The Frymen returned to their early season form to take a victory from the Tulsa Braves, Northern Conference champions. The Braves, doped to upset the Frymen in an easy game, found the Comets too tough for them, and took an 18 to 6 licking on their home field. 1932 Page Fifty Qeteri Meteor Basketball C1iAR1.i-:s l9INGIiR, lJlCK STONE, MAX MORGAN, TED BRIDGES, JOHN WRIGHT, GIQORGE Moss.

From Only a few lettermen and experienced squad members Coach Skimmer Miller developed a cage crew that came near to taking the city and lX'lid-State Con- ference titles. Although the Millermen faced defeat in some of their encounters, the Comet cage crew of 1932 succeeded in reaching the finals of the state tourna- ment, and breaking the all-time standing record with three consecutive wins Over the Central Cardinals. Coach Miller and his charges deserve credit for the splendid record they established. The opening game of the season saw the Millermen taking revenge on the Lawton VVolverines for the beating they inflicted on the Comet grid crew. The Classen five defeated the visitors 44 to 12. The new crew proved its strength when it defeated a team composed of the former Classen cage stars 33 to 31. In follow- ing games Guthrie went down 42 to 19, Shawnee 32 to 21 and Bristow 31 to 7. After a brilliant 24 to 23 win Ove rthe Central Cardinals, hard luck invaded the Miller Camp. Norman swamped the Classen team 18 to 12. only to have the tables turned in the next game and take a 16 to 9 beating. The Comets failed to click against the El Reno Indians, and took their second licking on the El Reno court in a 29 to 9 count. Capitol Hill went down 27 to 24, and the Tulsa Braves were upset for a 27 to 23 Win for the Comets. Chickasha turned the tables on the Classen team, to win in a 20 to 12 game. The Comets staged a sensational come-back to defeat Guthrie 32 to 15, and Central for the second time 26 to 16. Capitol Hill took revenge 28 to 16 and E1 Reno again downed Classen 32 to 18. 1932 Page Fzfty-Eight Meteor Baseball ff! 47 A 5 W ' TED IHUCKABY, OTIS WAI.I.Is, CONNIE XXHRENS, HARRY SVVIRCZYNSKT, BILL CUTCHALI., GENE NANCE.

Although the 1932 baseball team failed to keep their four year hold on the State baseball title, the Comet crew played consistent ball during the city and state schedules. Handicapped by a lack of material Coach Skimmer Miller moulded a team that deserves commendation for the excellent type of ball it played. Witli only seven lettermen returning to the squad this year Coach Miller took new recruits and made a baseball club that defeated the Central and Capitol Hill crews to tie with the Redskins for the city title. Witli only one experienced pitcher to toss the game, the Miller crew succeeded in winning all but one of the city round-robin games. In the City games the Millermen downed the Central Cardinals in the opening game, and gave the Redskins their first beating in the second. The Cardinals were defeated in the return fray with the Millermen but the Redskins, taking advantage of the absences on the Comet crew, turned a defeat into a victory to tie with the Classen brigade for the crown. The four year hold on the state diamond title was won by the Shawnee WVolves after the Millermen were beaten in the first game of the playoffs by Newcastle. In the Stillwater meet the Comets were again downed by the Newcastle team to lose another chance for a co-championship claim to the title. 1932 Page Fifty Nme Meteor Minor Sports L'nder the direction of Coach Earl Coffey the golf, swimming and tennis teams turned in winning records. Led by Jess Fronterhouse, veteran linksman, the Comet golfing crew captured the city links title, repeating their performance of the preceding season. Fronterhouse, Lucien McLaughlin, Art St. John, Malcolm Gill and Jack Garner took the crown, beating Central and Capitol Hill in the matches on the Lincoln Park course. The Comets won second position in the Tri-State invitation tournament at Durant, Qklahoma, April 25. McLaughlin was runner-up for the individual title in the city meet, while Fronterhouse won second individual position in the Tri-State lnatch. The swimming team turned in another record performance with a new city record and a second position in the State tournament. In the city meet the Comets won over the Cardinals and Capitol Hill in the Classen Pool. In the state meet the Comet relay team, lid Kostka, Frank Hamilton, Duane VVallace and Joe Llewellyn set a new record for the l6O-yard relay. The team lopped one second off the record time set by the champion Tulsans. The Coffey team took second in the state finals in the Classen pool with a one point lead over the Cardinals. The Redskins took fourth place with only five markers. The boys' tennis teams turned in record breaking marks for the season with five titles in the doubles and singles events. In the city meet the Classen doubles teams annexed the title against the Central and Redskin teams. The singles title was won by Fred Mitcham after a hard fought battle in an all Classen final. The doubles team, Mitcham and Fred Hare, took the doubles title by beating Hal Leaming and Emory Pedigo in an all-Classen finish. ln the Mid-State Conference games the Comets again won the boys' singles and doubles matches. Mitcham and Hare took the doubles event while .Pedigo won the singles title. ln the Norman state meet no titles were won, but in the Stillwater tourney the Comets took the boys' singles and doubles events. Mitcham and Hare won another title and Pedigo took the singles crown. Track, under Coach VVes Fry, suffered a set-back from the title winning record of last season. With no veterans back on the crew the running end of the squad failed to click in the meets. Jack Sweet took honors in all the city Mid- State Conference and state meets. In the city meet Sweet won places in the shot put, javelin and discuss throw. In the Mid-State Conference games he again scored in the weights. Sweet set a new record for the shot put in the O. C. U. invitation tourney with a toss of 48 feet, 6 inches. First place in the shot put, second in the discuss throw and third in the javelin made nine points for the Comets in the Norman meet. Phil Cope scored two points, winning third place in both the 220-yard low and high hurdle events. Sweets performance with the weights in the Stillwater meet made the Comets' only points in the events. 1.932 Page Nitty Meteor Swimming CHEADLE BIESSUSMITH, GEORGE GODDARD, HOWARD BIELTON, PIUBERT BIALONF, EVERETT GIBBENS, KEAT CARGILL.

The C. H. H., in connection with the Comes, the Blue Jackets, and the Student Council, have been responsible for the programs and stunts that have been presented at different games. In the earlier part of the year the Hell Hounds struck upon the idea of 1.932 Page Seventy Meteor Hellll Hounds I I I I BRANNIIN MCMILLAN, X7ANDliR B.xRI:E'I'T, KI'INNl'I'flI HI'INRX', -Inez: GREEN, JOHN VVALBERT.

Brown, the Science Club began the semester by undertaking the project of building a telescope. The telescope was presented to the school on May 4, at a reception to which all members of the schoolboard Were invited. During the school year the club made many Held trips for the purpose of collecting geological and biological specimens. The specimens collected by the club will be used as exhibits in the school during the coming year. A re-election of officers was held at the beginning of the second semester. During the past semester the club has attended various lectures dealing with geology and astronomy at the Shrine Auditorium and at Norman. The Science Club presented a series of science pictures in the auditorium at Classen for the purpose of raising a fund to present a medal to the student who was most outstanding in the science group. 1932 Page Se venty-Two Meteor Blue Jackets BOB MOORE, FRED ZAHN, REED COATS, FRED COOMBS, JACK DOLBIAN, VVALTER KAMP, KARL Rcscn, FRED TXTITCHAM, BOB KI.INEf, J.

The Classen Blue Jacket Club was organized late last semester by a small group of students who selected Mr. George SturnI for sponsor and the follow- ing officers: Jack Peterson, presidentg Sonny Sclmmaker, vice-president, Bob Taylor, secretary, and J. M. Key, sergeant-at-arms. The outstanding achievement of the club this year was its presentation of gold basketballs to each member of the 1931 squad in tlIe sports assembly. Probably the first task tlIat confronted the organization was the selection of a suitable uniform. It was decided that a blue corduroy jocket would be adopted for the Official emblem. They attended every sporting function of any importance, and gave the teams their whole-hearted support. Their social function was given in the form of a picnic held at a farm near Edmond, which featured a bean hole treasure hunt, and was followed by a social at the home of a member. 1932 Page Se venty-Three Meteor Latin - Ullympian Council NORMAN DAVIS.

Under the able guidance of Miss Bess Snell and Miss Lucille VVilloughby, the Latin Club, known as the Olympian Council, has been organized and has drawn up and adopted a constitution taken from that of the ancient Romans. Meetings are held semi-monthly when a program is presented by members of the club. The S. P. Q. R., of Central, was entertained by the Council in the latter part of April. The officers of the Club are named after the six major dieties, and this in itself is one of the highest honors that Can be conferred upon a member. They are: Bill Earley, president, whose title is Jupiter, NValleah Jones, vice-president. known as Minerva, Helen Leister, Secretary, Apollo, Cornelia VVhite, treasurer, Mercury, and Carl Cooper, sergeant-at-arms, Mars. 1932 Page Seventy-Four M eteor Modern Language Cllmlb PEGGY MILI.ER, PAUL MCLEAN, FRANCES MYERS, president, INIARGARETE HARDEGAN, JACK MII,I,ER, VIRGINIA HAEGAR.

The club also sponsored an Easter service, which was held in the auditorium, every morning' during the week before Easter, and a Mother-and-Son banquet. At the beginning of the school year Classen had two clubs: the senior, and the sophomore, but it was decided that one would be more eiectual. This neces- sitated a merger of the two groups. 1932 Page Seventy-Seven JI efeor Girl Reserve DOROTHEA EACQJCK, RUTH SHULTZ, PHYLLIS JONES, ELIZABETH THOMPSON, BIADYLYN CROFFORD.

The Goose Quill Club has had a change of sponsors this semester, and is now under the direction of Miss Ann Pearson. Members are making plans whereby they may be of assistance to tlIe English faculty next year. Because one of their members, Alice McAllister, won second place in the National XYitter Bynner poetry contest, the members have become particularly interested in prize works. By studying the qualities of winning poems, short stories, essays, and plays the members hope to gain more honor for Classen and benefit themselves in the literary held. Last semester ofhcers were Merry Chandler and Margaret Mueller. This semester tlIe places were filled by lYilma Jean Gethman, Madelyn Goldberg, and lYanda Russell. 1932 Page Eighty Meteor Classen iLife Staff VIRGINIA MARTIN, VVILLIS WILSON, busiizess 11zgr.,' Rose BIARIE COOLEY, cditorg VALMOUR NTESSER, cdz'z'or,' VVESLEY HAGEBL'SH.

I. We direct the payment of all our just debts and funeral expenses. II. VVe give and devise to the follow- ing Juniors and Sophomores the following property and attributes, to wit: To all Juniors we bequeath our uncanny knack of ditching classes and escaping the consequences, also the clever art of detracting our esteemed teachers from the prescribed outline of study. To all pernic- ious, vexatious, malignant, noxious, per- verting, noisome, deleterious, detrimental, insalubrious, pestilential, unwholesome, blatant, obstreperous, vociferous, abomin- able, anomalous, erroneus, foolish, ludicr- ous, ridiculous, stupid, obscure, Sopho- mores, we leave the hope that by some Heaven sent miracle they too, may be some day writing a last will and testament. IH. ln answer to a crying need, Loren Sage leaves his lithesome figure to Mr. liarl Coffey, and in all fairness to the faculty and for the betterment of the school, Bill Bullis wills his soft and per- suasive voice to that eminent professor of physics, Mr. Fred Lyon: Charles XVil- liam Gill, highly esteemed king of Classen class ditchers, bequeathes his black, foul and much coveted office record to C. S. XVallace, to be used as he sees fit: also Patsy O'Sullivan wills her pleasant dispo- sition to Undine Butler. That bewhiskered behemoth Jack Miller, leaves his set of Smith Brothers to Bron- son Lyon, who we believe fails to know who Mr. Gillette was. Jakie Lichtenberg bequeaths his natural eye for business to his ardent admirers, Jerome Abraham Gor- don and Felix Bath Levi. To the next president of the United States, Governor Murray, Karl Rusch unselfishly leaves his so-called executive ability. Sally XYest, Sue Schofield, and Louamma Edwards, generally spoken of as the un- holy three, will their combined dancing ability and good looks to small but mighty Shorty Shelburne. The feminine qualities and lady-like characteristics of Alice Miller are left upon the demand of the Student Council, the faculty, and the XYomen's Christian Tem- perance Cnion, to Georgia Looney. After careful consideration it has been decided that 'XYinston Harris is sadly in need of tennis ability and therefore with much coaxing and persuasion, Pat Arnett and Nancy jones have agreed to leave the secrets of their sport to this semi-athletic lad. Ted Bridges, John XYright, and Paul LeCrone, together with Jack Sweet leave their combined height and weight to Omar Oliver, Jack Byrd, John King, and last and least, Romping Johnny Robinson to be divided equally and impartially among each and all of them. As we near the end of this lengthy- and permanent record it is entirely fitting and proper that some mention be made of scholarship, in which the underclassmen are sadly deficient. XVe wish to leave the knack, ability, art or whatever it is that enables Frances Myers, john Cpham, and Coree Thomas to make Straight A's, to the whole of the Sophomore class for better or for worse. The class as a whole, in view of untiring efforts in our mammoth class play wish to hereby will and bequeath to Mrs. Tucker an even half-dozen nickel-plated widgets, no more, no less. TY. XYe hereby appoint and designate Father Time sole executor without bond of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof. we the Senior Class of l9.3Z, have to this our last will and testa- ment, consisting of three 633 sheets of paper, subscribed our name this 6th day of May, 1932, at Classen High School, in the city of Oklahoma City, State of Oklahoma.
