HE 1942 VIVACITY is dedicated to the people of Cushing; to the individuals who, separately, and through or- ganized groups, have been an inspiration and medium of guidance to the youth of Cushing High School. Through you have come the incentives that are so vital to the progressiveness of a high school. You have given us a heritage of American ideals to preserve and defend— may we keep that trust.

David Rubinoff is one of the world’s most popular violinists. His presenta- tion of classical, semi-classical, and popular music produced a delightful effect upon his hearers. His clever ren- dition of “Oh Johnny” literally “brought down the house.” Perhaps even a greater tribute to his art was the rapt and absolute si- lence with which over 900 exuberant young people listened to his beautiful and unforgetable “Rhapsody in Blue.” McVay, Loren Mears.

In 1924 The Oiler was established as the official high school publication. Since that time it has held as its policy: “To serve as a medium of expression for the students and faculty; to foster and promote good schol- arship; to encourage worthy activities; to en- courage and support clean sportsmanship in all things; to boost Cushing.” The Oiler is issued every two weeks dur- ing the school year by the journalism classes of CHS and is financially published by the ads secured from local merchants. The enjoyment and help the students, faculty and public get from the paper fully merit the time and effort the staff puts out to make it the successful paper that it is.

The highlight of the season was a thrill packed victory over the Bristow Pirates by a count of 7 to 0. Lawrence “Bud” Pound with the entire Tiger team cut- ting the way for him, scored the winning touchdown in the final minutes of the gameL The Tigers registered victories over Chandler, 18 to 0; Yale, 12 to 0; Oilton 24 to 0; Bristow, 7 to 0; and a win over Stillwater, 12 to 6. The Bengals lost to Hom- iny, 12 to 14; Guthrie 0 to 6; Cleveland, 0 to 20; and to our rival, Drumright, 6 to 7. The Tigers tied the Paw- nee Club in a mud contest on the local field, 6 to 6.

S. ended a fair season under the coaching of Bill Jennings. The Tigers, under a new coach and with a tough schedule, did all right. The Tigers won victories over Drumright, Perry, Pawhuska; defeated Yale twice, and Bristow twice. They lost games to Shawnee, Drumright, Perry, Pawnee, Stillwater twice, Guthrie twice, Oilton twice, and a loss to the alumni. Highlight of the season was a victory over the Perry Maroons, for as they defeated them they defeated a team which had beaten un- defeated Stillwater. The Bengal club loses five seniors: co- captains, Bernie Parker and Tom Carter, Law- rence Pound, center, Wallace Hoyt, guard; and Herb Ridley, guard.

Struan CHakk (Ptiapke i Gather ’round all you seniors, have your fortunes told for only a dime, only ten cents ladies and gentlemen, step right in. Madam Frizzle-foozle will gaze into her beautiful crystal and tell you all. Ah—now the pictures are clearer and I see Del- bert Meeker. Howard Harris, and Jack Barron, doddering old men of over 70 years leaning on their canes sadly going over the hill to the poor hourse.” This picture fades and I see in its place several complacent middle aged club women. Rita Huff. Violamae Grimes and Alice Jordan, who travel about the country making lectures on the very vital subject of. “The Relative Importance of the Hole in the Donut.” The scene swiftly changes and I see the former Donna Howard patiently rocking several little clods in a cradle. Now come nearer everybody, because I see in my crystal, a secret not known to the common man. I see Captain Marvel. Superman, The Flash, and The Bat Man going about avenging the wrongs of the world. But when they all say, Shazam!” they be- come Orville Floyd, Clyne Davis, Sonny Burkey. and Billy Phelps again. Now ’tls a sad picture I see. Clara Starnes and Shirley Ann Hargraves, one time geniuses of CHS, pacing their padded cells mumbling the Gettysburg Address and Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Headline in the world of sports! Betty Jane Hicks challenges the World’s Woman's heavy- weight wrestling champion, Jean Walter, at Madison Square Garden, at 8 o’clock this evening . In my crystal appears a large gathering. I be- lieve—yes it is— a preacher’s convention. In one corner are four former Cushing ministers. David Baird, Charles Foster. Dewey Davis and Gerald Hall, talking over old times. Greatest news on Wall Street was the marriage of Pauline Glover to Dewey French, merging the two great corporations. Glover’s Mange Cure, and French’s Bird and Mustard Seed. I hear soft music and see a picture of the world’s most popular dance band led by the aged fiddler, Bob Wills. I see that Millard Brigham. Marvin Christ, James McCoy. Billy Weir and Bob White have achieved their life long ambitions to become a part of the most versatile band in the land.” Nell Bland was also very fortunate in receiving the position as their vocalist. Plash! Mr. Joe Davis. Wall Street’s multimillion- aire who married the former Geraldine McMillin, plans to take a world cruise. My crystal moves to the world of politics and I sec Louise Clements. Jeraldine Darden, Mary Ellen Sanderson, and Madeleine Kirby, who are running for Representatives to Congress. In their platforms they plan to make bachelorhood illegal, to do away with schools, and to encourage the making of bigger and better hamburgers. Now a college campus appears, and coming out of one of the buildings are the eminent professors, Thomas Carter. Charles Trimble and Junior Nichols, of the English department. In the locals of the Citizen. I see that Pern Van- dever Rainwater now is the proud mother of little twin drips. As this picture fades, my scene travels to Holly- wood's most popular night club. Ciro’s. where Bernie Parker's famous troup of bubble dancers have a two week's engagement. Among these I recognize Bettie Bass. Faye Carter. Harvey Dell Caviness. Lo- Rene James. Sylvia Hartgraves and Fern Slater. My crystal darkens; I am about to reveal a great tragedy. Today Lois Cochran and Leona Mae Sherrod entered into a suicide pact because of their unrequited love for Leffel Hill and Earl Lambert. Ah—this is a very interesting thing I see. Ernest Webb. Charles Pierce. Dawson Brown, and Bill Adams have been very prominent in the organiza- tion of a Street-Sweepers and Garbage Men’s Union. This scene changes and I see the dreary walls of a morgue. The attendant. LeRoy Black, just brought in from the gutter a man who has met his fate in a drunkard's death. When the relatives were found they identified him as none other than Jack Has- kins. formerly of Cushing. Tis the Vagabond Life For Me. is the song of Jack Vaughn, the king of hobos and his followers. Earl Gibson. Alvy Gaither, Warren Reagin, Glen Mears and Edward Leach. Round and round goes the roulette table as sev- eral women formerly of Cushing. Laura Lou Ward. Betty Wilson. Wanda Findley, and Dorothy Taylor try to drown their blues by gambling their money away in Reno, where they have gone to divorce their husbands. Virgil Bradley. J. D. Carrico. Rich- ard Cochran and Wallace Hoyt, for desertion. A fanfare of color fills my crystal and I see the great hero of World War n. Sergeant Joe Morgan, receiving a rousing welcome in New York. A moving picture. “Sergeant Morgan honoring him will soon be released, starring Bessie Hutchinson and Clifford Parks, and directed by Everett Hubbard. Listen everybody. I now see four little pup tents all in a row. Coming out of these are Marian John- son. Helen Harshaw. Ann Cowell and Betty Ballard. Their husbands, having participated in World War II. are still of the opinion that a pup tent is .. Home Sweet Home. This thing I see in my crystal now makes me very angry. Madam Nell Ross and her assistants. Fronzie Neal. Earline McBride and Nellie King have established a fortune telling establishment and are charging only 5 cents in competition with my busi- ness. I see by my crystal that Jack Pierce has been appointed city dog-catcher. Norma Sue Holland, assisted by Charlene Heav- ener, is writing a very interesting love-lorn column. Here are some excerpts from letters they have re- ceived. I married Floyd Taylor while intoxicated. Shall I get a divorce or just stay intoxicated?” signed; Margaret Phyfe. Please tell us how to win wives and influence mothers-in-law.” signed: Alvin Winkleman. Lawrence Pound. Orlo Retherford and Kenneth Stowers. My crystal travels westward and I view the Triple-D ranch owned by Deloris Davis, who has in- troduced a new thing into ranching by using cow- puncherettes. some of which I recognize to be: Evelyn Crook. La Verne Dalrymple. Dorothy Conklin, Louise Ellington and Eileen Prescott. Again I see an interesting thing. Tommy Cobb has just won the election and is now the President of the United States. First Lady of the Land is the former Ruth Wilson. The President’s campaign manager was Harry Bill Worthan. Owner of the “Rock In and Reel Out hot spot is Forest Pruitt, and features Mary Ellen Perry as the toughest bouncer this side of the Bronx. Her latest victims were Hershell Morris and his safe- cracking pal. Kenneth Goodman. Bamum and Bailey’s famous hula chorus is one of the most popular circus side shows. Among the singers and dancers are Edith Huston. Florine Hink, Norma Mears. Neva Jean Ward and Patsy Moore. In my crystal appears an item from a newspaper in '57. F.B.I. members are searching for Herbert Ridley, famous counterfeiter, and his two-fisted gun moll. Mary Lou Hitch. The newest addition to Cushing is a woman police force. Chief of Police is Mildred Warren, and deputies are Ruby McFarland. Ihla McNeal. Alma Jean Nicholson and Thelma Stevens. Their records show them to be very successful in getting their man.” Wayne Durham and James Husted. having ac- quired a taste for lipstick in high school, are now manufacturers of the famous “Smear and Leer” brand. The salesmen for this lipstick. Bob McFar- land. Chester Milhorn and Eugene Parham, have been very successful in their sales since they have offered to allow the ladies to try it out on them. My crystal moves to the realm of science. I see the great inventors. Wayne Payne and Junior Parker, who have made a fortune in the invention of a better and more efficient mouse trap. Wanda Fultz and Jaculene Graham, famous in- ternational spies have succeeded in bringing Hitler to justice by tracing him to his mountain hide-out where he fled after his defeat in World War II. Neita Tioton and Pauline Schnack are well- known for their manufacture of superior glass eyes and non-slip wigs. Well children, that’s all their is. there ain’t no more. The charge will be exactly $12.60. Come in again some time. ----o---- BATHING SUITS When pompous people squelch me With their regal attributes.
