It was July 4, 1950. We, the Senior class of 194C, were anticipating our first reunion which was to be held in Cushing on that day. How exciting it was. preparing to meet all of our old friends, many of whom we had not seen since commencement ten year efore. We learned from the annual paper, published by Joe Thompson of Philadelphia, that a dinner dance, which had been arranged by some members of the class who had remained loyal to the old home town, was to be held at the Hotel Cushing. The mem- bers of the arrangements committee were Donald Pox. manager of the telephone company; Fred Simp- son. city manager; and Margaret Hitch and Billie Rose Isbell, co-owners of a dress shop. We found that Cushing looked much the same. The first person we met was Bill Montgomery who drove us in a cab to the hotel. While chatting with Bill we learned that our premonitions had been ful- filled—yes. he had married Thack. (Bill wanted to know If it would be permissible for them to bring their little genius to the dinner.) When we entered the lobby, we met our old fri- end B. P. Cook who now was manager. After we had freshened up a bit. B. P. told us that he would not be able to reacquaint us with the city as he had plan- ned. but that the former Mary Eathlyn Lathrop, his wife, would be more than glad to be our guide. After we had finished our dinner, which was very ably served by Laverne Evans, hostess in the coffee shop, she told us that Ova Farrow was the chef when we remarked on the exceptionally fine dinner. Mary was awaiting us in the lobby when we fin- ished. so we began our tour. We were quite surpris- ed to meet Taz Puckett who we found to be quite suc- cessful in oil dealings, thus providing for his wife, Catherine Jordan, in an elegant manner. Catherine was a leading society matron of Cushing. Her secre- tary and companion was also one of our old friends, Elverinc Isaacs. The first office we visited was that of Darrell Minnix. a wo1 promising young attorney. His wife was the former Miss Billie Ruth Bass. Booher. We were so eager to know who of our old friends had turned to teaching as a profession. The biggest surprise was that Nancy Stroup was a most successful instructor in physical education. And what was most fitting, we found the Le Sueur twins teaching commercial subjects. Once more taking leave of our alma mater, we returned to the notel and began to dress for dinner. After dressing hurriedly we rushed to the mez- zanine so we could be able to greet our old friends early. On the elevator, we met Kenneth Lauderdale, now a reporter and hie wife, Rosetta Cates, who were residing In Oklahoma City. With them was Buddy Miksch, also from the city, who was employed at the Fbrd agency. We noticed Bob Brooks and his wife the former Mary Prances Schmelzel. Bob was a dentist from that flashy little town, El Reno. Accompanying them was Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Standley. His wife was also familiar—Ruth Hogrefe They also resided In El Reno where Lloyd was man- ager of a chain of theatres. Glancing toward the elevator, we saw some uni- formed young men looking superb and gallant When they approached, we recognized Jud Johnson, a major in the army, and A. T. McClure captain of the Cush- Regiment. A. T.'s wife. Jo Lawrence, Leona Wood, who was at the head of the dietetics depart- ment at Stillwater A. ar d M.. and Floreine Swlggart also an instructor of home economics, followed. Different married couples who entered were- Doync Harber and his wife, Erma Ellis, from Still- water (Doyne was the truancy officer and Erma Ruin was girls’ adviser in the Stillwater High School); Joe F. Wilson and Ruth Ellen Adkins who were in the grocery business; Lewis Evans, district Judge, and Trcssa Barton; Ernest Jageler and Elizabeth Tidw’ell Erneit was employed with the Pan American Air- ways in San Francisco along with Harvey Iic-irv who was the -brains of the outfit. Having acquired some wealth, the Jagelers had with them Mrs. Jage- ler s secretary, Doris Bevins, and their chauffeur, Bcb Across the hall was the office of the mayor, one of our well known friends—Wayne Burns. And who should be his efficient secretary but Vada Green. We then saw a sign which read Drs. 8t 111 we 11 and Poffen- berger specialists In surgery. We were delighted to find June and Jean starting their first years out of intcrneshlp in their own home town. We finally asked Mary to direct us to a beauty shop. She immediately pointed out ‘'Mildreds.-- owned and operated by Mil- dred Phyfe. Her assistants were also class members —Ellanora Parks and Louise M enhelter. Our next stop was the high school. My. It did seem strange to walk into the office and gaze upon our michlevous classmate, Tommy Maloney, prin- cipal of C. H. S. His abb secretary was Evelyn suddenly we heard a crash down below on the street! Lo and behold we saw James JValker La very and Hubert Wells hailing over from Tulsa in La very's company drilling truck. It seemed that he had met with a slight accident, having removed the fender from Irvin Smith's milk truck. After the excitement was over, we approached the dining hall. Wayne Stinnett, former class president, who came !rom Texas Tech where he taught en- gineering. greeted us at the door. The invocation was given by Rev. Everett Larry, an evangelist, and his wife. Sue Prick, who assisted him in hts work. Of course w: could hardly eal for the thrill of meeting old acquaintances. At the close of the meal. Lowell Brandlc. a news Sen ion Clabb (Pnophecy commentator from Washington. D. C., ably served as chairman of the dinner and introduced Hugh Ben LaKue who made a very interesting talk. He was associated with a group of lawyers in Chicago. Betty Watkins, dean of women at Wisconsin University, also gave an enlightening address. Next came the introductions and we were reac- quainted with all those we had been unable to con- tact. At the end of the table was Russell Sadler and his wife, Exine Turn bow. Rusty” was now coaching football in Yale, Okla. Then Archie Cotton and spouse. Ernestine Campbell, who were at the head of an orphanage in Tulsa; Bernice Hamilton and Juanita Davis, nurses at the Cushing hospital; Winifred Slater, foreign language teacher from A. and M.; Ella Lee Taylor, reporter on the Daily Citizen; Hobart Trease and his wife. Emma Holland. Hobart being a highway patrolman. At another table. Ritchie Mur- rell. county commissioner and his wife. Betty Orr; Catherine Cheatham, who had been chosen Miss Okla- homa for two years consecutively; Emma Darnaby, home service correspondent for the Daily Oklahoman; Ola Cook, health adviser at the Y. W. C. A. in Kansas City; Austin Bolerjack. a very noted author and his wife. Sybil Beall, from Atlanta. Ga. Also in our pres- ence were two celcbrites from Hollywood—Kenneth Gillespie, who was 'tiling the place of Bob Burns, and Betty Jo Turner, another Martha Rayc. In- cidentally. they were married. Calvin Martin and his wife. Martha Vineyard, came next. Calvin was work- ing for the railroad. Eugene McMahan stopped to give a campaign speech since he was running foi stale representative. His wife was Juanita Henry. Margaret Roll had inherited a large department store in Dallas. Raymond Goff and Galen Holkir.ger were co-partners of a filling station in Cushing. Their wives were Nadyine Edwards and Juanita Benson, very active in womens clubs in Cushing. Next. Lester Robb, a great cattle man and his wife. Sybil Johnson. Quite an oddity followed—Melvin. Tommy. Eugene, owners of the Brookshire-Brookshire-Brookshire Cough Drop Corporation. Bob Abercrombie a fam- ous ballroom dancing teacher, and Doris Loftis, a petite airway stewardess were having an interesting conversation. Maxine Adams. Pern Campbell, and Virginia Wheeler were the owners of the largert bak- ery in the southwest. John Bamer. president of Ear- ner's Better Bam Builders Association, and his co- workers. Joe Nichols, and Robert Welch, were biisily engaged planning a new bam for Secretary Wallace. Raymond Jeske was following in the steps of his father, now being the owner of the cleaning shop. HLc wife was Lotha Wilson. Trellys Williams was now filling Dorothy Dix's position in the news. Her ad- vice to the lovelorn was surprisingly helpful. Donald Heidemann had become quite an authority on bridge while Leon Dethloff was a traveling magician. Ken- neth McVay, Ishmael Harvison. and Hubert McNair were managers of an escort service in Reno. Earl Cotton was the owner of a profitable garage where Carl Garrett was employed as chief mechanic. Alla Mae. Frances, and Elva were becoming quite success- ful in the Tipton-Walker Candy Company in Vinita. Jewel Franks was a well-known Scout Executive whose wife, Virginia Burris, was head of the Girl Reserves. Dashing in a trifle late came Harvey Stone and Noah Tuttle, the two leading glamour boys of America. Ray Dwinell represented another de- partment in American affairs, the navy. He was commander of the S. S. Slnk-or-Swim. After the introductions, that master of syncopat- ed rhythm, Bennie Bragg, led his orchestra in a brand new lyric written by Carl Phillips. Some of the mem- bers of the group were quite familiar. The drummer was the one and only Michael Blake; the tuba player. Edwin Carrico (we wondered if had acquired his blowing ability while taking debate); James Smith, clarinet player; and Wallace Gumm. a wizard on the trombone. Ruth Larry did a beautiful vocal selection while Lloyd Fritch entertained us with an operatic aria. After checking on the group, we found that only seven were unable to attend our wonderful reunion. One of these was Cousin Joe Goodman” who came on the air later In the evening. Two others were James Givans and Bessie Baker, a happily married couple who were now in South America. James was a successful engineer. Louise Brown had been injur- ed in a train wreck while touring the country. Wanda Reedy and Virginia Quick were on a cruise and Ponzy Waller, matron of the women's prison in Colorado, was unable to attend. After all was over, we bade our friends goodbye and continued the trip we had planned.

T aMey Titfe Tne Cushing High School football team enjoyed a good season this year as they went through the sea- son with only two defeats on their record and these by a small margin. The Tigers got off to a bad start against Hominy when the Bucks, led by Wheller Gayton. passing sen- sation. downed the Tigers 3-0. The victory came in the second quarter on an 18-yard field goal by Claude Terry. The following week the Bcngals Journeyed to Guthrie to meet the Blue Jays and came out of the game on the short end of a 9-7 score. The first score came when Merle Myers placekicked a beautiful goal from the 28-yard line. The Jays came through again when Clifford Scott intercepted a Cushing pass and ran 40 yards for the tally. Cushing’s only «core came on a 41-vard march with Ray Dwinell packing the ball over the stripe and Lester Robb converting the extra point. Cushing finally started their winning streak when the Chandler Lions roared into town for the annual fray. The Lions, however, were no match for the rejuvenated Tigers who ripped their opponents to pieces by a 46-8 decision. Touchdowns for Cushing were made by J. C. Martin. Ray Dwinell, Billy Mont- gomery, Lester Robb, and Harvey Stone. It was in M ’ came that Joe Wilson made his debut as a sts” Cushing’s arch rival, the Yale Bulldogs, came to town to try to down the Tigers. In this game the boys duplicated the performance of the week before and downed the visitors by a 20-7 count. Cushing made a 7-yard march in the first quarter and a 82-vard march in the second quarter to set up a good lead. It was then that the fleet Billy Gaskins got away for an 80-yard run to register for the Bulldogs. In the last quarter Cushing finished the scoring by moving the ball 80 yards to pay dirt. Cushing got into the habit of winning (so Drum- right found out) and when they took on the Cleve- land Tigers they found they were no match for the Cottonmen. The Tigers bowled them over in a 20-0 contest on the Cleveland field. Joe Wilson scored one of the Tiger touchdowns and Lester EooVrang the bell twice for the 20-0 win. Andy Dickson’s Oilton Panthers paid the Tigers a visit and returned home minus their chances for the Cimarron Valley championship when the hojrt forgot hospitality and rolled past them 20-6. In the second quarter Cushing marched 50 yards for the first score. Oilton got their only score when Robbie Biggs took the second-half kickoff 82 yards for the Panthers' only score. Biggs' run made the Tigers see red as they came back to march 40 yards and 65 yards for touchdowns with Ray Dwinell and J. C. Martin going over for the scores. Armistice day found half of Cushing in Still- water to see the annual Tiger-Pioijecr tussle. Still- water had gone through the season undefeated until a week before when Drumright ran the Pioneers aground. In the fifst half the Bengals got to the 21-yard line but could not move from there. In the second half the Tigers were a different team for in the middle of the third quarter Lester Robb knifed through center and ran 43 yards for the first score. On an exchange of punts Cushing found possession of the ball on Stillwater’s 43-yard line. Prom there Robb moved the ball to the 20-yard stripe and constant plunging sent him over into pay dirt. The day’s scor- ing ended when .Toe Wilson sprinted 45 yards to the St ill waters 10-yard line. Prom there Robb sneaked through for the touchdown. The final score read 19-0. Cushing took cn Geary the Friday before Thanks- giving and sent the boys from the short grass region home with a 35-6 defeat. Cushing scored two touch- downs in the first half on 84 and 52-yard marches. Billy Montgomery scored two counters when he scamp- ered 24 and 36 yards for scores. J. C. Marlin closed the Tiger scoring with a touchdown thrust. The Bison's only score came on a pass by Goold. On a cold and rainy Thanksgiving day Cushing rolled over Drumright to cop the Cimarron Valley championship. The Tigers capitalized on two breaks which, helped set up the victory. A Cushing punt was fumbled by Harry Frizzell and Hubert McNair re- covered to set the stage for the first score. Drum- right held momentarily but Montgomery’ and Robb pulled their famous squeeze play to register the first score. Drumright fumbled on their own 21-yard line to put Cushing again In a scoring pocition. From there Bill Montgomery circled end for the touchdown. The final score read 13-0. Outstanding on the Cushing team this year was Harvey Stone, who was selected on the Daily Okla- homan all-state team. Calvin Martin, Cushing end. vas nominated for all-state and was selected on the all-Northern conference team. Mr. Cotton. Cushing’s coach, should be congratulated for his hard work and his team’s superiority. ♦ ‘ft 4 7ootbaf( Schedule and Sconce Cushing 0 Hominy 3 Cushing 7 Guthrie 9 Cushing 40 Chandler 8 Cushing 20 Yale 7 Cushing 20 Cleveland 0 Cushing 20 Oilton 6 Cushing 18 Pawnee 0 Cushing 19 Stillwater 0 Cushing 35 Geary 0 Cushing 13 Drumright 0 ClL L (Ba ketbaf{ SckediuCt and!

After losing a crucial game to Drumright, the Tigers fought back to defeat Stillwater and beat Drumright 29-18 in a playoff for the Cimarron Valley championship The team won 14 games and lost 9 in their stiff 23-game schedule. One of the high points of the season was on January 26, when the Tigers defeated Pawnee 34-23, to stop the Bears’ 10-game winning streak. At no time after the first few games was the team at full strength. Because of injuries many of the regulars were forced to sit on the sidelines but the other players went ahead to make a creditable showing. C.
