The lone set-back came in the Cimarron Valley loop, to Oil ton, 14 to 0. Cushing opened the season away from home. Coach Cotton':; untried grid eleven marched up to Hominy to sec just what the boys had. Cushing pushed down to the Buck’s one foot marker but failed to score, the outcome being Cushing 0. Hominy 0. Yards gained from rushing. Cushing 145, Hominy G5. The fireworks began when the Guthrie Jays en- tered Cushing. The Cushing eleven, with blood in their eyes, were set for the Jays since their defeat last year. The Cushing’s fore-wall were blocking with effect. C. Martin. H. Stone, and K. Martin being the standouts in the line. J. Gelbhar and T. Cruzan punched the line for counters. Yards gain- ed from rushing, Cushing 236, Guthrie 133. The locals won, 20 to 7. The deadlock, regarded as a near “moral vic- tory by Chandler, didn't hurt half as badly as tiie loss of Quarter-back Johnny Gelbhar. Midway in the first heat. Gelbhar suffered a shattered collar- bone. Tommy Cruzan played another pile-driving role. Great defensive work by S’tone, Calvin and Kermit Martin and Ray Howerton combined to stop the one Chandler drive. Yards gained from rushing, Cushing HO. Chandler 97. Cushing 3. Chandler 0. A Cushing pass put down Yale, 7-0. Slowed to a stand-still on the ground. Cushing got air-minded. The night's prize opportunist was John Tuttle.

Martin were standouts in the line. Yards gained from rushing. Cushing 71. Yale 62. Finding the habit a hard one to break, Cush- ing played its third scoreless tie this season. Cleve- land's cat-backs looked! like ondlnary humans. The prize opportunity came in the third quarter, when Ray Dwinell shot tire ball 35 yards to C. Martin, who was cut down at that point. L. Robb clicked off 6 yards more but the Tigers lost the ball on downs. Yards gained from rushing, Cush- 107. Cleveland 65. Cushing advertised to pin its prayers on the pitching of a watch-charm back, but Oilton unveil- ed a bruising running game that paralyzed Cush- ing. 14-0. John Tuttle, regular right end and bootcr for the Tigers, missed the encounter because of illness. Yards gained from rushing, Cushing 126. Oilton 134. Staging a wild and wooly touchdown enter- tainment in which Cushing scored almost at will the second half by Jabbing the line, while Pawnee countered with showers of bull's-eye passes. Empty Cotton’s Tigers emerged on top of a Cimarron Val- ley scramble. 21-13. Dwinell hammered the line consistently, while Stone. C. and K. Martin were the outstanding linemen. Cushing picked to fall in line and become the ninth victim of Stillwater's mass massacre of state foes, and a slightly regarded Cushing high school even rose up to fight the pioneers to a 0-6 standoff before 3.000 amazed spectators. A 75-yard run-back of the opening kick-off by Donald Duncan. 145 pound Cushing back, for a touch down, as the sec- ond half opened, had Jack Brown steppiug out in front as a defender. Stillwater bounced back with Us score a few minutes later. Yards gained from rushing. Cushing 75. Stillwater 80. Cushing tripped its Turkey-day foe. Drumiight, 7-0. Cushing’s Tigers made one sustained drive to take the Tornadoes to the cleaners. Jack Brown plunged from the 4 yard line to climax the drive, and Johnny Gelbhar made the extra point. Tills made the 8th consecutive year Cushing has kick- ed Drumiight around. Stone. Calvin Martin and John Tuttle did fine work for the Tigers on the line. Yards gained from rushing. Cushing 144. Drumright 53. Selected from a poll of coaches and sports writers, Cushing high placed 2 men on Valley loop teams. Right Guard Harvey Stone and Right End Calvin Martin. Stillwater said Stone was responsible for the 6-6 tie. Captain Stone's great- est value was as a defensive man and an inspiring leader. He was second-string all-state guard, and co-captain of the Cimarron Valley conference team. Right-end Calvin Martin, for the second year won a first-team berth on the Cimarron Val- ley conference team. Despite his light 155 pounds, he fashioned the record of seldom having his end circled. Calvin made the second string Northern conference team, the first string end being an all- state man. C.

First National Bank Cushing, Oklahoma Senioi CHaM (fWjpkacty It was one July afternoon as I, Virginia Baker, doing my duties around the Blair hosDit i that. 1 was called to Dr. Jack Brown’s office. As I enlereu his office I saw Beaulah Pearl Morgan, who was a nurse on the fourteenth floor of the same hospital-Dr. Brown told us that we were now being dismissed for a three week's vacation. Of course it was pleasant news to us and we decided to take a trip together and thus recapture some school memories. After we had made our preparations and were buying our tickets, we learned that the ticket seller was Joe Wilson, a chum of ours in high school. We had progressed only a short distance when the conductor came down the aisle. We immediately recognized him as Wayne Rafferty. Wayne told us that he was married to Juanita Johnston. He also told us that Franklin Jordan worked in the engine room, but that we would be unable to see him. We arrived in a large town and decided to leave the train to eat. We walked into a small cafe called Agnes’ Place, and recognized the efficient waitress to be Agnes Pritchard. Agnes told us that she and Hermit Martin were married and had a small boy named Hermit Jr. While we were waiting for our order Donald Duncan and his charming bride of a few hours. Holly Jo Stroup, walked into the cafe. We immediately began a conversation and they told us that their attendants were Harold Grant and his wife, the former Patricia Drake. They also told us that the Grants had a small son named Blaine Mar- tin Grant after their neighbors. Blaine Imel and the former LaVern Martin. They were all doing good business in the Dur.can-Imel Coffee shop. After we returned to the train, we recognized Waiter Carnes Jr and Dorothy Vaughn. They were on their way to a buyers’ convention in St. Louis. They represented a large department store which was head- ed by Frank Allen. We learned that Frank was married to Madeline Colclazier. Several classmates were employed in the store. Dorothy Flint was the head of the baby department. Ray Biles head of the hard- ware, Irma June King was in the cosemtics department, and John Fick was manager of the men’s depart- ment. Our Journey held little interest until we rounded the curve into the old refinery city of Cushing. We decided to walk around awhile and passed the old school building. At we walked into the entrance, we re- cognized the head of the school as Raymond Howerton. He seemed pleased to see us and offered to intro- duce us to some of his faculty. In his office sat Roberta Paine, who now took Mrs. Millie Lair's place. The football coach was Johnny Gelbhar, who was married to an old school mate. Virginia James. Connie Jo Minor was the bookkeeping instructor, and she told us that Betty Tippin was a great toe dancing teacher in Paris, France. As we had spent only a short time in Cushing, we decided to continue on our way and go to Hollywood. California. Late one afternoon we stopped at a large city in Texas. As we stepped from the train we heard the siren A a Red Cross ambulance which was passing close by but above the siren we heard Winifred French, the nurse, yelling like she did in the old days, to Robert Reavis, the ambulance driver, “to please go slower. We rushed to the scene of the accident and found that Floreine Brundage. Irene Parker. Ruth Meyers, and Lillian Shadowens had run into a telephone pole when they were on their way to a teachers’ meeting held in the school where they all taught. Since they were not seriously hurt, we hurried on to find a hotel. After some debating we entered the “Bolinger Hotel”. A young man that seemed very familiar stood behind the desk in the lobby. It was Cleo Atha. He talked with us a few minutes and told us that George Ridgeway was staying In the hotel as a guest. Clifford was playing the leading role as a male singer in the opera “Friday”. The leading lady in this opera was the former Marry Garrett, now Mrs. Hays Carter. Hays is now Mary's business manager. Later in the afternoon we rented a car from an agency which was owned and operated by Wilbur Deahl. We drove out into the country just to look at the scenery and Just as we were immensely enjoying it, we had a blow out. After some time we hailed a passing farmer who, much to our surprise, turned out to be Chester Lewis. Chester fixed our tire and then invited us to come to his farm to spend the night. Juanita Goodno Lewis, Chester’s wife, had dinner all ready when we arrived. After dinner we attended a dance which was being given at one of the neighbor's houses. Upon arriving at the dance we were very surpriseed to see some of our former classmates. The first we noticed was little Billy Brown, the band director. We were talking to Billy and he introduced us to the following members of his orchestra: Oliver Armstrong, Pat Berry, James Brickey, and Warren Erown.

He also told ns had had � he world's greatest tap team—Charlotte Frichot and Wayne Butcher. As we were walking around the dance floor, we met Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Eastwood—Mrs. Eastwood is the former Lorraine Huff—and stopped to talk. Our attention was attracted by the clash of a fanfair from the orchestra. The announcer told us we were going to have a Maltimore Bubble D%nce.“ The leaders of the dance were Richard Chance and Ola Addle Stearr.es. After spending the night In the Lewis home, we took a cab to the train, and discovered that the cab driver was Newton Crlner. He told us that Howard Gandy. Carl Garrett. Bobby Gif fin, Lloyd Gray. Al- bert Hazell, Edward Hinkley. Eugene Hobart. Oliver Holderread. J B. Irick. and Fred Isenberg were still playing football for O. U. And. oh yes. he told us that Winston LeSueur wes the water boy. As we got on the train, we saw a group of young ladies, beautifully dressed, and we inquired and found that they were with the Russian Ballet. They were our former classmates, Emogene Johnston. Dorothea Mayer, Pauline Powell, Geneva Pierce. Doris Parks. Lucille Munday, Tess Miltspaugh, Margie Blackburn and Margie Kirchmeyer. We talked to them and learned that their director was Orlan Coffman who was married to Margaret Horany. After singing our old school songs and having a great time talking over our past school days together, the porter In our car called Hollywood, California.” We thought that we had seen about all of our classmates but were greatly surprised to find that one of the cab drivers at the sta- tion was Gene Austin. He told us that he knew just the guide to take us over Hollywood, who turned out to be Harold Showaiter. Harold took us first to a cafe called The Rita , which was owned by Ralph Madden. He took us all over the place and introduced us to Russell Sadler who was the head waiter and bouncer. Russell’s wife. Bobble Hagooti, was the snappy hat check girl. Ralph entertained us with a very delightful dinner, which was prepared by his French chef, Monsieur Jack Ryan. After dinner our guide took us to the Templeton theatre, owned and managed by Buford Templeton. The chief characters of the play which was then showing was Marie Bridgman, Gladys Corber, Robert Cochran, and Bill Davis. The next day Harold took us on a tour of LheBurkey, Dethloff and Jageler Movie Studio. As we were walking around the studio, we recognised scveial dancers to be former ciassmates. They were Edward Johnston, Kenneth Johnston. Robert Levan. Fern Dwyer and Marjorie Escott. On one of the sets we recognized the two young people making an Important love scene to be Bobble Lee Stokes and Deward Brinson. Our guide then introduced us to the greatest radio announcer In the world who turned out to be G. A. Price, married to the former Betty Etchison. After we left the studio, we decided to dc some shopping and entered the Slick Dresse Shoppe which was owncu by Gladys Proctor. Gladys introduced us to some of her mannequins who were Mary Bello Prescott. Louise Lowe. Dorothy Kostcd. Barbara Holderread and Bonnie Heavener. The next place our guide took us was to a very clover little tea room which was owned by Lindell Mar. chant and Eugene McFall. The boys Introduced us to their wives who were Juanita Etherington, and Mar- jorie Escott. respectively. That evening we went to a radio bioadcast at the Malernee Studio, which was owned by John Maler- nee. At the studio we heard Harold Jeske broadcast the nows, and then we went home to dinner with Hnrold and Ills wife, who was the former Lucille Fugate. They told us that Hayden Percoli was director over at the Nuts Studio.” They also told us that Clem Stinnett. Enin Sellars, and Phil Myers were play- ing the “Three Stooges In a picture that was Just about completed. We made our visit short in Hollywood as we wanted to visit our friends Buddy Lewis and his wife, the former Ruth Sweeney, on their lovely ranch just ouislde of Hollywood. The young man who drove us out to the Suzit Q Ranch” was Clarence Hutchinson. We greeted Buddy and Ruth with pleasure. They told us that they had a little girl who was named after Mary Jane Wolfe, the Lewis cook. Buddy and Ruth planned a camp fire gathering in our honor and attending neighbors were Kenneth Russell and wife, Eloise Turner, and Clem Stinnett and wife. Dorothy Timmons. The next morning when we started back to New York on an airplane we recognized the charming hos- tess as Mable Crumbly. Mable told us that Mildred Stowers was now married to Richard Sheridan, and they were running a chicken farm in Ohio. On the plane with us were Lois Ward, Irene Taylor, and LaVc.rn Turner who were on the way to marry three noted Frenchmen in Paris. The pilot on the plane war Clarence Smith. Our next stop was Southbend. Indiana. We had looked forward to this stop as the president of Notre Dame was one of our friends. Clarence McFariand. Clarence introduced us to his chemistry professor, who was Jack Williams. In the halls we saw Dale Maret and Albert Moore, who seemed to be having a little trouble with their studies but were going to graduate this year. Before we returned to the plane we went to a radio station to hear the broadcast, of the Finger Bowl game. The announcer turned out to be, much to our surprise. Troy Turnbow. We arrived in New York City the next day and Immediately reported to the hospital for duty. Doctor Brown, after hearing our adventures, called the airport and made reservation:-; tomake the exact trip that wc had just made as he wa3 growing very lonely for some of his old school males.
