We also wish to thank them for their cooperation, their interest, and their loyal support to Cushing High School. Wc extend our sincere appreciation to those who have worked with us on this book: Semco Color Press Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Parlett's Studio Cushing, Oklahoma Miss Nedra Johnson Mrs. Caroline Hughes Sponsors OCOiCiWlOrt The 1946 Vi vac i tv Staff is proud to dedicate this publication to Paul Powell, President of the Senior Class and outstanding student, who early in the first term of school was injured in an automobile accident. Until that time Paul had a perfect attendance record all through school. . . . He is captain of the 1946 basketball team, having lettered three previous years. He is Co- Editor of the Vivacity and has a high scholastic rating. Once again we salute Paul Powell, President of the Senior Class and outstanding student. Seaman i c George Clark, Pfc. James T.

V?c appreciate their genuine interest and earnest efforts to improve the Cushing Public Schools. Mr. Carr is the man with the friendly smile and cheerful greeting for all who pass his way. As Superintendent of Cushing Public Schools he is effectively promoting the cooperation of the administration and the student body. He will remain among the most pleasant of our school memories. Although his duty in directing the numerous activities of our school requires a great deal of time, Mr. Rush is never too busy to help a friend, advise a student, or serve any worthy enterprise. We admire his perseverance and appreciate his genuine personal interest in each of us. This is only Miss Weaver's second year as registrar of our school, yet she has already become a part of the tradition of Cushing High School. Her ready smile and helping hand combined with her endless patience arc always waiting for us in the office. Francis Aycock Maric Ci ark S. M.

Glede Vaughn. Gerroid Rector The Vanity at rate When the running star, Hubert Bay graduated, the responsibility for carrying on C.H.S.'s reputation for one-man track teams fell to Glcdc Vaughn, Junior High sprint star. However, we do not doubt Gledc's ability to accept this responsibility. Last year, after being out two weeks, Glcdc got second in the first race of his life, a 100-yard dash at Shawnee. A week later he won the 75-yard dash at Woodward. Then he set a meet record in the 75-yard dash at Fairview with a time of 8.3 seconds and in the 120-yard dash with a time of 13 seconds flat. In the big Aggie Relay at Stillwater, which might be called the State Meet for Junior Highs (since there was no official state meet for them) Glcdc won the 100-yard dash. His time of 10.9 seconds was the fastest time run by a Junior High member in the state last year. Here we see Glcdc getting a lesson on starting from his coach, John Bay. Although still in High School, John, through his inten- sive reading, observation of runners, and work- ing with his famous running brother, Hubert,. has proved a valuable aid in getting young runners like Glcdc started on the right track. With his body in the same position as when he goes over a hurdle, Glcdc practices one of his favorite exercises, ground Hurdling. Although Glcdc did very little hurdling last year, he plans on going “all out” for it this year. It is the opinion of many that Glcdc will find the timber topping” events his best races.

CUSHING MUNICIPAL LIGHT AND POWER Buick - Cadillac - G.M.C. International Trucks Gayley Motor Company SALES AND SERVICE 114-116 South Harrison Street Phone 823 Cushing, Oklahoma Anil now. in the year 1956. we find our interna- tionally famous traveling salesman. Leroy Oiborn. mak- ing an extenuve trip to all parts of the world, in order that he might sell some of those extra-sharp razor blades, put out by the Paul Powell Manufacturing Co. Since Paul and Leroy have been partners in nearly everything since 1946. when they collaborated to be editors of the 1945-46 Vivacity. Leroy peddles Paul i products to all end of the earth. While thus employed, he ran into several old cronies of his high school days. While on a tnp to Moscow lie decided to attend a Russian Ballet performance, only to learn that the teacher was none other than Bob McMahankowsky, famous ballet artiste. He was doubly surpnsed. after the performance, to learn that the leading ballerina in the act was our old red headed friend. Almira Bolton, who wore a powdered wig. Almira's husband. Billy Archeroff. is her manager and publicity agent. After the performance, he was invited to attend a dinner Cv given by the U. S. Ambassador to Russia. Wil- 1 (Bill) Fisher. He was driven to the affair by the famous personage. Mr. Fisher, in his own yellow and ted convertible. Upon amval in Pam. France. Mr. Osborn decides! to send his wife a hat from an Exclusive French mil- linery shop. He was directed to the best shop in Pans, ami recognized the name on the window as Made- moiselle Yandcll. Chic Millinery for Slick Chicks. He entered the shop, ami was greeted by the Made- moiselle herself. She told him that her most exclusive hats were designed by Mademoiselle Lois. Lots would have used her last name. too. but she thought that Holman” sounded too un-Frcnchy. They picked out two of the loveliest creations and asked for them to be modeled. Mademoiselle Yandcll called two of her most popular models, who Leroy recognized as Pat Paxton and Betty Box well While on a short tnp through Spain, he encoun- tered H stellet a Evans, employed as a Spanish dancer, complete with castinctt . in a Delores' restaurant. Her employer was Delores Kendall From the sunny climate of Spain. Leroy went to the cold, dismal Arctic Region, and found two explorers vainly exploring for cocoanuts. They were none other than Richard and Glen Parker. Joy (Speedy) Reid, delivery-girl for Arctic L'nion Telegraph Company, brought the urgent message for Mr Osborn to return home immediately. Leroy was naturally very much perturbed. While waiting in Lon- don for his Statcs-bound ship, he went to a lower da� taproom on the wrong side of the tracks. Immediately upon opening the door, he was amazed to hear a rough female voice yell. “Another beer. Cy. The voice proved to be that of Conise Moses, lady bartender, addressing the male bartender. Don Macy. Just then. Lewis Martin, and his dance band, stepped onto a platform, giving out with a smooch rendition of Lime- housc Blues. His well-known torch singer, lone Minor, then took over and sang, in a deep, throaty voice. Blues in the Night. She was appropriately dressed in a red satin strapless evening gown. After boarding the ship on which he was going to return to the United States, Leroy bumped into Basil Miller, captain of the good ship CHS of 46. There was quite a lot of excitement when somebody CLaa of 1946 cried out in a loud voice. Man overboard! However, it wasn't a man. It was Charlotte Leavell. returning from a trip to Europe, who was despondent and wanted to end it all because Norman didn't love her any more. After a hasty departure from New York. Leroy was anxious to take the quickest route home, and it ran through Missouri. While on a six-hour lay-over in the small town of Belle. Missouri, who should he run into but Dons Johnson. She invited him to spend those six dreary hours with her on her farm |ust outside of town. After going through her spic and span farm- house. she took him outside to look at the beautiful scenery. The only scenery he could see was acres and acres of pig pens and little pigs all over everywhere. (A pig farm'!?!) Then he saw Irma Lee Gooding, co-owner of the farm, carrying in two gallon pails of fresh milk. (The)- has-e cows on the farm, too.) Back on the train again, early the next morning Leroy turned on his portable radio just in time to hear the announcer say. Rise and shine, with Geqrgtc Kline. A popular program provided to provide pep. brought to you by Paul Powell Razor Blades.” George, popular young comedian, known as far back as his high school «lays for his remarkable pep. is the star of this program. Other entertainers on this program arc Beulah Eaton and Grace Farrow, who sing commercials'such as; For a clean shave, and money saves, you'll simply rave, so hurry. Dave, and buy some Paul Powell Blades today. As the guest on that program he heard that renowned poet. Pete Henderson, who read his latest bit of poetry. Love-lorn Louisa. This poem was dedicated to Louisa Fick. with no reflections. After stepping off the tram upon amval in Cushing, he hailed a cab driven by Robert Crook. Robert was recently elected to be a member of the R. R. C. D.. better known as the Ruthless. Reckless Cab Drivers. Leroy was met by hi wife at the door. That night, to celebrate his arrival, they went to a movie entitled the Cruddy Cutie from Cushing co-starring Jean Copplc and Keith Claybaker In Keith's spare time from the studio he is a playboy and fools around with politics. The next morning, Leroy browsed around the busi- ness district of Cushing. Unavoidably he wandered into the Pla-Mor. which is now owned by Ernie Harber. Lhere he saw Bill Boldt, pool shark who has to make his living shooting snooker. This always seemed the profession he was cut out for since his high school days. Hunger interceptesl at this point, and Lerov found himself being drawn to the bakery. It was run by three able bakcr-cttes. namely Mildred Dcthloff. Ruth Cranke and Belva Bobo. After filling himself on the delicious sweets, he decided to go to the Pink Bonnctt Shop and chew the fat with some of the gang for awhile. Kathryn Dean was doing a quick job of burn- ing some CHSer's hair, because they lost a football game and the whole football team was tioing it. Leroy jiad to get back on the job, and left for Hawaii via Clipper, with John Bay. the pilot, and Sara Lou Young, head stewardess on the ship. He was met at Pearl Harbor by Billie Lane and her hula- hubba-hubba girls, a company of dancers, who are employed all over the islands Her publicity agent. Charlotte Kirby, says they are really draggin' in tlie dough. After talking over old times an«l selling a few packages of razor blades here and there, lie moved on aero� the globe to India, and while riding a cow across the desert, he encountered Theda Baird and Mary Manor, missionaries, who were looking foe an- other place to set up their evangelistic meetings, be- cause they had )ust been run out of another town. From there Leroy went into the deep jungles of Africa—still trying vainly to sell razor blades. While (racking his way through the jungle one day. he ran into a watermelon patch. Just as he was about to get away with one of the jutcy melons, he heard a voice screech. Get out of them watermelons. Leroy, startled, looked up and saw Pat Heidcmann and Gtlda Fox. who are co-owners of a watermelon plantation. While still on his trip through Africa, he ran into Dale Lcwallen who owns a diamond mine. Dale said he found his first diamond while hunting for cigarette butts, and that was the beginning of his mine. Finished with the African trip. Leroy started back to the good oi' U. S. A., and upon arrival stopped at Harvard University. While calking to the president of the College, Claude Mullins, he was rudely inter- rupted by Dick Wnght. absent-minded professor of mathematics, who was tearing his hair because his problem-pupil. Vincent Larimore. just couldn't learn to add (not even a and a!). Just then the door opened and Vincent entered with a triumphant look on his face and a shout of I've got it! a and a is 5!” (Poor boy.) Delores Noltensmeyet is also teaching at Harvard: her exclusive course is History. Of course, you all know that Harvard is a boys' school, but the Advisory Board hired Delores just to be different, and have a woman teacher. Leroy stopped in Washington. D. G. for a visit with the first woman president. Alyce Rac Clark Coffee The chief executive is making her home in the White House with her husband. Bobby, and their two children. Cuppa and Potta. Although Bobby does not hold an executive position, he is a charter member of (he G O. B. Club, which is still going strong. A banquet was given for Leroy by the President and her hushand. at which all the Senators and Congressmen were invited. While there, he met the two Senators from Oklahoma. Paul Johnson and Herbert Johnston. Of course. Alyce Rac. being the proper hostess and thinking that all those men should have entertainment, invited Betty Dooley, prominent Broadway stage star. Before leaving Washington. Leroy «rent to a show, appropriately named the Cozy Corner, which is run by Don Coyne and Elloutse Allen, who arc now life- time partners. The show was named by Don and EUouise because it brought back old memories. Darn it' Another lay over' Leroy was really dis- gusted so he hunted for the nearest place to eat and saw that it was called the D Shop, which is run by Davu. Davis, and Deal. (Good deal!) Charlene. Marianna, and Georgia really enjoy this business of ninning a restaurant Leroy left Washington for Colorado to iccuperatc from his Washington tnp. While traveling he saw two people whom he seemed to recognize vaguely They were sitting on a rail fence. Sure enough, it was Gerry Vinson and Johnny, who are contentedly run- ning a cattle ranch. CLu of 1946 Since Leroy hadn't been home for several months, lie thought it was about time for him to go sec the little woman. He departed for Cushing, and upon ar- riving at the station he saw a brass band led by Faye Johnson. Thinking it was for him lie stepped off the train only to find it was for Dorothy Raffetv. concert pianist, who was stopping in Cushing for a concert performa nee. A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER Vivacity Osborn, son of Leroy and his wife, the former Clara Jean Chadwick, is now ajA years old and quite old enough to enjoy a circus. So. to the circus they go! The barker's voice can be heard far above the other noises of the circus . . . and no wonder' It was Betty Maloney, who got her start yelling with the Tigcrcttes. Their fust stop was the snake den, and who should be the Hindu snake charmer but Sue Gaunt. Oh well, she can charm anything! (Can't she. Duff?) Next they went to have their fortunes told; Louise Shaw, psychic reader, really told them a good story. They heard screams of terror from the onlookers as Kathryn Tennis threw butcher knives at Virginia Allen. But somehow she always managed to miss. Pretty good act, “ay ? Vivacity wanted some of that pretty pink cotton candy, so to the candy booth they went. The best cotton candy makers in the whole U. S. A. are Beatrice and Ruth Long, better known as the Long Sisters. Now—the big attraction. Into the big top went all the people to see the main feature—the trapeze artists. Seen swinging far above the eyes of the on- lookers were Charles Sala and Helen Meats, in their breath-taking act. The roar of lions was the next thing they heard, as Keith Boncbrake. the lion tameT. calmly dealt with the ferocious animals. In the old days. Keith was called Bones, but as yet Keith has had no bones broken, not even a tiny scratch. The two lady trick riders. Lavonnc Calvin and Carol Odom attracted their attention as they galloped smoothly along, standing on the hones backs seem- ingly at case. And Acuff and Henry Riley were seen juggling 8 plates. 4 oranges. 2 apples. 6 cups and 4 baseball� , all at the same time. But boy. was it a mess when they finished their act' Another feature attraction of the circus was the lady wrestling match. The two contenders were Jean Killer Cloud and Nila “Lady Dynamite Foster. The match ended with no broken bones, but with quite a few broken fingernails and pulled muscles. A lierd of elephants was seen approaching with Tommy Allen, the elephant trainer. Of course, this is a lot different than his former profession—that of raising rabbits. Damn Tipton was amusing himself by swallowing flaming swords and bending sted pipes into nails He is the circus strong man and sword swallower Alice Denning, owner of the circus, was very pleased at the big crowd that attended her circus. For all her billing and advertisement. AUcr goes to the Comey Cushing News, which is owned, edited, and printed by Margaret MacDonald. It has always seemed to be tile profession she was cut out for In providing procticol, scien- tific educotion with an ade- quate background in cultural and religious training, 0. B.
