A number of the boys of Cush- ing High School have enlisted in the Marines. Two of them arc Robert ••Slim Davis and Bob Raub . . . The now posters that were placed in the halls the last part of the year got a lot of re- sults . . . That students of C. H. S. are very happy that school is Just about out. Hauraches have just about solved the shoe problem for many of the girls of C. H. S. for most of the girls are wearing them. Talking about cQuples going steady in high school. We have a few in our high school. Some of them are Joan Vassar and Bill Seal. Jim Watkins and Betty Mauck Raymond Pounds and Wanda Read, and Jean Brown and Mosco Davis. Since school started this year a number of the girls have been wearing engagement rings. Some of them arc Norma Lee Woodruff and Georgia Malemee. Graduates Make Takes Poll for Their Likes As you all know, everyone has a favorite, and very few people are made enough alike to like the same things, but the Oiler held a poll to see what the great- est majority of seniors liked the best in the way of movies, books, actors and other likes. They had little trouble selecting a favorite color because blue and red received so many votes they left all other colors far behind. Another favorite they had little trouble in choosing was their favorite food, fried chicken wron by such a landslide it wasn’t ne- cessary to count the other foods. When it came to radio programs there was more rivalry. Out of twenty different radio programs different seniors said they liked best. Bob Hope's program came out on top. Henry Aldrich and Kay Kyser were close behind. Bette Davis, two times Academy Award winner, and Clark Gable, the matinee idol, were voted best actor and actress. Now Voyager is considered the best movie but Mrs. Miniver and Gone With the Wind got their share of votes. Harry James and his trumpet and Tommy Dorsey and his trom- bone. two popular orchestra lead- ers. can add the seniors of Cush- ing high school to their list of ardent fans because they were se- lected the top ranking bands in the land in the '43 seniors estima- tion. The commercial classes, typing, bookkeeping and shorthand, were voted as the favorite classes. Chemistry was also at the top of the list. You can't imagine the many different pastimes people have un- til eighty different people give you theirs. Reading and dancing had the largest number of votes but loafing, walking and just literally doing nothing were also on the list. Two fairly current novels. Gone With the Wind and Rebecca” placed first on the reading list of favorite books. Class Studies About Color Mrs. W. O. Cook's homemaking classes have been studying about color. Many people do not realize the importance of color in their lives. Whenever there is light there is color. It is about you everywhere: you see it in houses, in the skies, in trees, and in all nature. Colors appeal differently to different people: some persons prefer one color and some prefer another. If a color is becoming to you there is no reason why vou should not wear the color you like. The costume should harmonize with your environment, the season Seniors Select Best Liked Features Of Class Mates The years have come and the years have gone, it is now April. 1943. and the present senior class of C. H. S. is about to depart and go their various ways. As in every class each of the students will be remembered by their friends by some outstanding feature about them. So the Oiler held a poll to elect a few of the students to titles which best fit them. Some of the titles were pretty close and two students al- most shared them. Jane Ellen Coffee and Billy Seal were selected as the most all round boy and girl. They were chosen on the basis of popularity, looks, personality, ability and activities. Both have been active in various clubs and organizations throughout high school. When it comes to brains Emma Fick and Wallace Davidson walk- ed away with the title of best boy and girl scholars, there is no doubt but what the teachers will agree. Marilyn Morrison was close behind Emma. Jane Jones and Jim Brooks, two well liked seniors were chosen as the best dressed boy and girl in the class of '43. The question of who the most love sick and devoted couples were received many different answers but Betty Mauck and Jim Watkins, that inseparable couple were chosen the most love sick and it was a close tie between Ethel Greenwood and Wayne Chadwick and Joan Vassar and Billy Seal for the most devoted. Theodore Johnston, one of the senior, classes greatest assets, and Slim” Davis and Wayne Chad- wick. were selected best girl and boy athletes. Both Slim and Way- ne have played football through- out high school and were placed on Cimmarron Valley first team this year. Another senior whom everyone knows and likes. Mary Jane Mc- Coy was chosen as the sweetest girl. As for the beauty side of our class Peggy Davis, the gal with the gorgeous blond hair, was chosen the prettiest girl, and the tall, dark Ronald Hickox. the most handsome boy. Last, but not least. Billie June Hall, was selected as the person with the best sense of humor. Billie June will always be re- membered for quick wit and abil- ity to write amusing verses. Five senior members of the football squad received football jackets this year. Those receiving jackets were Robert Davis. Wayne Chadwick. Lee New. Jim Wat- kins and Kenneth Vandever. and vour occupation. Dark sub- dued color suggests business or other work: dainty colors are asociated with parties, while bright colors are associated with outdoor life. Inquiring; Reporter As a senior, having gone through four years of tedious high school work, wiiat would you advise the freshmen just starting out? Peggy Davis: Study hard but don't forget to have a good time. Betty King: Start out studying right now. don't wait—it's awful. Theda Overdeer: Flunk early and avoid the rush. Sammy Murphy: They have a long stretch ahead of them. Keep studying and don't get behind. For goodness sake don't take chemistry and shorthand the ■ same year. It's murder. Marilyn Morrison: If I had it all to do over again I would take all the curricular activities that I could possibly take because that's- where all the fun comes in. Norma Lee Jones: Take the ad- vice I didn't take, study while you ] have a chance, you'll never regret it. Billie June Hall: If they arc- really smart they'll turn around and go back, otherwise they'll Just; have to struggle along the best they can. Georgia Malernec: Get in there and pitch from the first. You'll never regret it. Ivalce Lamb: Be careful what they take. Solid geometry is too! much for me. Jim Watkins: Learn everything they try to teach you and study outside of class. You won’t real-' ize until you are a senior how much you don't know. Bob Bell: Don't be a fool and study. But also get yourself a girl. Ronald Hickox: Take all of the subjects that they will let then- take, be sure to take subjects that will help them later. Study hard and try to get along with your teachers. Billy Seal: Take your teacher.-, advice, they are always right. Take the best subjects and not the eas- iest ones. Learn all you can and it will always help you. Take part in many things. George Wilkinson: Have fun and work hard, only put your work before your pleasure. Don't be a killjoy, also don't try to be funny Jerry Allen: Carry enough solids every year and study. If. you wrant to make decent grad s you simply have to study some. William D.
