We greatly appreciate the efforts and genuine interest of the Board of Education in improving the Cushing Public Schools. GEORGE P. KI SH Our principal cheerfully counsels with the faculty and students to help solve the problems of daily advancement.. ■ T MISS VIRGINIA HEAVER Registrar .°ne of ,he busiest persons in Cushing High School but never so rushed that she hasn't time for a pleasant smile and a friendly greeting for everyone Her pat- ience. helofulress. and cooperation are demonstrated every day by her willing- ness to listen and to help solve the many problems that both the faculty and stu- dent body bring her. £ng,lUh BETTY STEWART Literature If in addition to teaching poetry, we can teach a poem, if in addition to teach- ing one how to speak and write more correctly, we can create a feeling in him to express only worthwhile thoughts, if we can help him become a better reader because he has decided he wants to read better and better literature, we shall have presented a masterful performance and feel confident that our boys and girls will meet the tests to come. MURIEL WEBB English Reading WILLIAM NORRIS World History -Mathematic NAOMI DEMERITT Junior High Mathematics MARIE CLARK Mathematics LYDIA CLARK Mathematics American History Voca lion a I Woodwork CHARLES GODFREY Woodwork The woodwork department offers the students an opportunity to do creative work. After the first year a student choos- ing to continue In this work may take the second-year course or enroll In vocational cabinet making. With this training he Is equlrped to work as an advanced appren- tice in his trade. ORVILLE D. POTE Printing and Journalism Cushing High School's printing depart ment is designed as an exploratory course for the beginning student. Those who have a particular liking for the subject are given opportunities for advancement in doing practical work such as prlnUng the school paper, the school yearbook, and a large number of Jobs for the var- ious departments of the school. M-eck anical Zbr awing .T? The purpose cf mechanical drawing Is to offer a delinite educational subject which strives to develop a power of visual- ization. to strengthen the constructive imagination, to train in exactness of thought, and to teach how to read and write the language of the industries. GEORGE ROSS Mechanical Drawing Commerce Note Taking in Shorthand Of all the commercial subjects now taught in the public high schools, none has a greater natural motivation than does typewriting. At least three factors HILDRED FLUD Typing LETRESS BERRYHILL Commerce J4ome £ ome economic4 LELA COOK Home Economics HOME ECONOMICS The tea table was prepared by the Home Living Girls as a result—of a study of table etiquette and table service. This course is designed for Junior and Senior girls who have had no previous home Economics Courses in high school. This is Just one of the phases of home living with which the class deals. This course has been developed to meet a growing consciousness of the need for more stress on the importance of the treasures of home and family life which we have always more or less taken for granted. The new cabinets installed in the Foods Laboratory of the Homemaki..g Department are an inspiration to all stu- dents enrolled in Homemaking. The fourth-year Homemaking students shown are taking full advantage of the new im- provements. The addition of these modern facil- ities is the first major improvement made since the department was started in 1921. The equipment includes . two complete kitchen units with double sinks, a new heating tank, two Magic Chef stoves, and a Bendix Automatic Washer. The windows above the two sinks are equipped with Venetian blinds. BILL F. SHARP Instrumental and Vocal Music D. H. FISHER Agriculture Mr. Fisher is a grand leader of boys. His outstanding F. F. A. Chapter is an example of his fine work at C. H. S. Physical Cducation Custodian We wish to convey our vote of apprec- iation to the Custodians of C. H. S. for their faithful service to the school. Mr. T. B. Hobbs «extreme left in the picture� has been here 5 years. Mr. Richeson «center� has served 22 years, and Mr. B. O. King «right is here for his first year. CmbtemA School The class ring of Cushing High School Is symbolic of many things in the school and characteris- tic of this territory. The genuine black onyx stone in the 10 carat gold setting represents the school colors of orange and black. In the gold square above the stone is the fighting tiger—the symbol of the athletic club of C.H5. Engraved around this square are small links which form a chain repre- senting the passing classes. On one side of the ring Just above the date is an oil derrick symbolizing the oil territory in which our school is situated and in the corresponding place on the opposite side is a covered wagon to show that it is located in the Sooner State. These individual characteristics for the senior ring were worked out by a committee of school authorities and students from all the classes and the ring was designed by William Lyte in 1926. It has varried very little since that time. The uniqueness of this ring was proved during the recent war. Returning veterans tell of recog- nizing other servicemen from Cushing on the far-flung battlefields of the globe by their class ring even if they did not know the individuals. THE CUSHING HIGH SCHOOL SONG (To the tune of Blind Bcone's Aurora Waltz) Oh. Cushing High School in the heart of the west. Cushing High School is the one we love best. Let s all give a cheer, for our High School so dear. Here's to old C. H. S. Dear Old School. Cushing High School. We know you'll win. in all you begin, Dear cld school. Cushing High School Let’s give a rah-rah. for Cushing High School. We have worked and played together many and many a day. We have worked and played together all alcng the way. Soon the time will come for leaving, but we’ll be loyal, yes! For well ne'r forget the school days, spent in C. H. S. THE CREED I believe in Cushing High School, and the high Ideals for which she stands. I believe in her lefty patriotism, true American- ism. and in her dominating spirit which gives us the incentive to achieve. I pledge myself to support the faculty, to strive to gain the greatest benefit from my classes, to respect my fellow classmates, and to uphold the traditions of my school.

LOAN ASSOCIATION HARDWARE Cla££ Prophecy, Today. June 15. 1948. will be a big day in thfc lives of the Class of '48 alumni of Cushing High School. This will be the day of the first class re- union which brings together many old friends and high school sweethearts. We learned from the Cushing Daily Citizen, managed by Kenneth Argo, that a program has been planned for the alumni. There will be a din- ner dance at the SKYLINE HOTEL owned and op- erated by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Pearson. Mrs. Pear- son was formerly Miss Janet James. On the following morning a bus tcur will be taken over the town. Arrangements have been made by the City Mayor. Hal Hughes, to rent a touring bus frcm the Boldt Bus Company” which is owned by Miss Bette Boldt. We arrived in this thriving Metropolis on the Cushing Limited. The conductor. Glen Whipkey. helped us collect our strewn belongings and de- posited on the door step of our old home town. We went into the station to check our tickets and you can't imagine whom we found behind the win- dow—the former Miss Donna Reiley; her husband Gordon Stillwell was cheerfully sweeping the floor. We turned to leave and caught a glimpse of Mar- ilyn Morgan calling off towns and train times. We hailed a cab and the driver. Robert Mor- ton, put our bags in and started the trip to the hotel. While cn our way he told us he was a swimming instructor in his spare time at the new RECREATION BUILDING. We arrived at the Cushing hotel and were greeted by the joint- managers. Helen Berger and Betty Murrell. We got into the elevator and there was our old school- mate Carolyn Harris still perplexing her customers with her lengthy words as she took us up to our rooms on the 62nd floor. On the elevator with us were a few of our old friends. Robert Forbes, oper- ator of The Shoot Mor Pool Hall. Rev. and Mrs. Bob Martin. Mrs. Martin was the former Kathryn Duvall and in one comer we found Loren McVay who looked quite seasick from his prelonged ele- vator ride. As we walked down the hall to cur rooms we were confronted by one of the stars of the current acrobatic show Swing About.” Janeal Armstrong. She said that her co-star. Jeanne White, would be at the banquet with her and their current heart- throbs—Clark Gable and Gregory Peck. Later after we were dressed it was time to start for the banquet. The sponsors were standing at the door. They were: Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Thomas of the Ringling Brothers Circle. Mr. Tho- mas is the strong man and Mrs. Thomas, the for- mer Barbara Gunter, is the Gypsy fortune teller. Miss Patsy Beiland is a lawyer for the Standard Oil Firm in New York, and Miss Joan Benson gave dramatic lessons to private students. We decided to stand by the door and see everyone as he came in. A few people were already there. In one group we noticed Roy Baldwin. Louis Butcher. Billy New. Jimmie Kirk. Raymcnd Hoop- er. and Ralph Guinn, executives on the Texas Pacific Railroad. Others we noticed standing around the hall were Delta Ladd, now a nurse: Betty Quigley and Esther Schlcgel. famous for their book on Why Skip School?” Lee Roy Bran- stetter. Eugene Clark. Jimmy Cobb and Richard and Billy Evans. The Five Traveling Magicians. Bill Retherford. editor cf the “New York Sun, Ruth Dye and Joane Wade who are life boy singers on station NUTS. Richard Dunbar, master of cere- monies of It Pays To Be Ignorant and Joyce Neal as a concert pianist. We turned to the do:r to see the one and only Kent Claybaker of Hollywood with his stand-in Jimmy Durante. Mr. Claybaker was discovered by the famous talent scout. Denton Brown. The first selection on the program was a semi-classical number. Kara Lee. My Kara Lee. written by the famous compesers Clinton Hinkle and John Bourell dedicated to our old class presi- dent. Kara Lee Sowder. This was sung by the Wilma Trio. whom we formerly know as Wilma Cleveland. Wilma Largent and Wilma Sheridan. A very eloquent speech was given by Miss Lois McMahan who is the president and outstand- ing leader of the kcal D. A. R. Chapter. She was introduced by the principal of Cushing High School. Verl Harper. A barber-shop quartet com- posed of Donald Endicott. Aubrey Hilyard Paul Jordan, and Leon Turnbow accompanied by Mel- vin Fick sang the old Negrc spiritual Get Thee Behind Me Satan. composed by a well-remem- bered classmate. Elmo Tipton. At one side of a nearby table we noticed three beautiful blondes who were the former Helen Pcery. Zita Lee Carlson, and Etta Jean Coleman—preprietors of the local Peroxide Beauty Shoppe. They were speaking with the former Ruth Evans ard Betty Gibble who seemed quite interested in becoming some of their steady customers. Cla££ Prophecy, At the close of the program Kenneth Richeson prcposed a good luck toast to the future. As we were walking down the hall we saw two high school teachers discussing problems of the present generation. These teachers were the former Mary Lou Hatfield and Perry Stokes. The next morning we took our tour over the heme town of Cushing. On our way to the bus station we met Robert Peercy who owns and oper- ates Watch The Birdie Photographer Shoppe in Cedarvale Junction. Jerry Bechtel, who is Mr. Peercy’s co-helper, was very busy setting up a camera to take a picture of the alumni. When we got on the bus we noticed cur bus driver was a former classmate of ours—Evelyn Wil- kinson. Polly was quite busy explaining every- thing to us on our tour. We found that Gene Wil- son is quite successful in oil dealings and Peggy Young is serving as secretary in his office. Our first stop was the high school. My. but it did seem strange to walk into the superintendent’s office and gaze upon our mischievious classmate— Gorda Hetherington. The able secretary was none other than Esther Greenwood. Superintendent Hethcrirgt.n told us that several of our old friends were teaching in C. H. S. now. Henryetta Lohaus was teaching home economics and Don Robison was very busy teaching chemistry. After leaving the high school we dropped in at Ma Powells. This place was being operated by Rankin Roush. Yes. none other than two of our former classmates Elizabeth Roush and Charles Rankin. They had a number of customers, two be- ing Fred Fitzgerald and Donald O'Rourke. While driving down Broadway we noticed a number of offices and shops owned by some of our classmates. They were Dr. Peery’s doctor office with Jack Peery as the experienced physician. Glancing down the street we saw two nurses who were the former Bonnie McCrackin and Dorothy Brown. We raw some uniformed young men lock- ing superb and gallant. When they approached v e recognized Jim Sharp a major in the army and Eugene Bell captain of the Cushing Regiment. Several of the girls went in to the Smart Sho pe and found that it was being operated by Dethloff Wilson. Inc. Wayne and Alzada were quite busy when we entered but they did find time to converse with us. While geing down Abercrombie Avenue Mary Thombrue. who is now a secretary, pointed out “Carol demon’s Kindergarten.” In the yard two little boys were scuffling. After closer ob- servance we saw that it was little Billy Summers and Bobby Mears. Joy McAulay. daughter of soc- ialites. is the former Gloria Walters. Pat Stilwell and Margaret Nicholas, advisers in the school, were hurrying toward them. As we neared the apartment house owned by Suzanne Coyne, the former Wanda Clemens and Jo Ann Pruitt greeted us cheerfully. Warren Smith was too busy to attend our alumni banquet because of his duties as manager of the local Ford Agency. Frank Sherrod is his star salesman and Alberta Hacker is Mr. Smith’s effic- ient secretary. We passed the fabulous home of Mr. and Mrs. John Martin. Mr. Martin was out of town on business pertaining to his petroleum refinery in Scuth America. Mrs. Martin is the former Norma Jean Harmon. We nearly ran over Mr. and Mrs. Orvel Mul- len who were pulling their little Hot Tamale Wagon with little Mullen Jr. seated on top of it. Mrs. Mullen was known in her high school days as Ernestine Cates. Word was received from Joe and Colema Jean Do:ley that they were unable to attend because of branding time on their ranch near Jerk Water. Colorado. Flora Jean Davenport and Marguerite Mason who are secretaries of a law firm in Chicago also sent word that they couldn’t be here for our big day. Betty Grandstaff wired that her absence was due to her previous engagement with the great opera conductress. Corinne Crain. Telephone calls were received from Mrs. Carl- eata Ramsey Horton and from Mrs. Coris Simpson Rogers regretting that they wouldn’t attend. Others who did not attend were Mary Beth Miner who is attending school in New York. Clara Anthis who is happily married in Arkansas City. Kansas, and Mrs. Don Macy. formerly Sue Baker, who is residing in Stillwater. After our trip was over, we bade our friends goodbye and planned for our homeward Journey.
