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.H.S. 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 nas 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.

Joe Cantrell, concert pianist, arrived in Cushing. I was to give a concert during the last week of the month but I had come earlier in order to visit with some of my old classmates. Although I had been warned by Jack Sayers, train conductor, of the changes that had taken place. I was not at all prepared when I stepped off the train. As I got into a waiting cab. the taxi-driver’s face seemed to strike a chord. After a polite con- versation I learned that he was Dick Smaltz. an old classmate. He must have known how lost I felt for he immediately proceeded to show me the new parts of town. The first place we visited wfas the high school. It was as it had always been only a little dearer now. We decided to stop and look around. I was amazed to find Jack Williams acting as principal. He informed me that his brother Jerry was now a football coach at U. C. L. A. We were discussing old times when Marjorie Goodnight, the school’s registrar, came in. She Joined the conversation and related how she had recently come across a book of cartoons drawn by Kenneth Endicott. Dick showed me the room that, in my day. had been Mrs. Stewart’s literature room. We walk- ed right in and found Patti Parris reviewing her class for a test. After a brief chat with her. I learned that Joan Brown had married Adrian Dickson, and that Adrian was the football coach of the Cushing Tig- ers. Their next game was to be with Muskogee and I thought to myself. “I hope they run circles around them.” As we stepped out into the main hall, Dick and I saw the familiar figure of Dick Kirkpatrick who was now assistant custodian. He waved to us and went on about his work. We left rather hurriedly as Dick had to meet another train. I asked him to drop me off at a drugstore and we agreed on a time and place to meet later. When I entered the drugstore, operated by Richard Hauschild, I heard a familiar drawl. Its owner. Donnie Clark, was behind the counter, jerking sodas. Donnie finally made it from behind the counter and started telling me about our old classmates. Mrs. Haymes. formerly Kathryn Clemons, now operates a Bendix laundry with her husband. David. The phene rang an j as Danny Cargill, the druggist, was out. Donnie left to answer it. When he returned he said. That was Dr. Bryant calling in a few prescriptions. You remember him, don’t you? He was the president of our senior class. Jackie Self has been his receptionist for almost three years now.” People started drifting in. Among them was George Gould, mayor of Cushing. He was accom- panied by Paul Day. an oil executive of the Stan- olind Oil Co. and Donald Ryan, president of the People's Bank. I told them about William Stephens singing at the Metropolitian Opera House and what a hit he made. Paul stated that Billy Roe is the Chief of Police. Mike Coyne is the owner of the Citizen, and Melvin Tidwell is a streetcar conductor. Ralph Fisher and John Levan have a used car lot outside the city limits. Irene Corey is now ser- ving her second term as Oklahoma’s first lady senator and Ernie Cates owns a large ranch. “Fly- ing 59.” Stepping outside to look the town over. I met an old friend. It was George Privett. manager of the Plaza Theatre. He was directing some workmen. Robert Riley and Bill Moody, where to put a bill- board. I not'ced that he was showing Donald Pound's new picture. The Weed.” He told me that Glede Vaughn and J. L. Martin had made good on the Broadway stage and they could cur- rently be seen in Birds of a Feather Flock To- gether’’ by the famous playwright. Moses Linn. George directed me to a bookstore owned by Ethel Brown. While I was looking it over Ethel brought me the latest edition of Charles Schultz’s and Albert Einstein’s theories. I met Dick as planned and he took me direct- ly to the Waldorf-Retherford where I had reserva- tions. It’s owned by Gwendola Retherford who had struck oil and set up a cha'n of hotels. Bellhop Martin Gerfen took my bags and led me to the elevator where Leota Rentfro was waiting to take me to my suite. I was resting when I heard on the radio, the Tiger Trio of Beatrice Stinnett. Threca Newman and Deloris Wells. They were accompanied by Evelyn Miller. A little later during the program of the all-girl orchestra under the direction of Raymond Wilson. I heard Jeanene and her magic violin. It was Jeanene Bowdlear. of course. Radio Cia Ai Prophecy announcer, Jake Hardesty, announced her num- ber. As I looked over the evening paper I found Vocille James’s name at the head of the society page as its editor. I also noticed Jane Minor’s col- umn, Advice to the Lovelorn. There was a knock at the door and in came Ron Castleberry, waiter, v ho brought me a dinner prepared by Melvin Sager, the hotel’s chef. Ron told me that Melvin’s sister. Mary June, had mar- ried an alumnus of Cushing High School and was now a proud mother of a baby girl. After my light supper I decided to take a walk and see the town. Sherrie Stonecipher, who is now a torch singer at the new 33 Club told me that Jerrold Rector was the bouncer there. I ask- ed about some of her friends and she seemed to have kept close track of them. Joyce Blevins is a second Jo Stafford and is s’nging on the Ma Pow- ell Supper Club. June Blackford is working at the Mayo Clinic. Ina Smith is doing a Gypsy Rose Lee act at Louie’s 29 Club in Oklahoma City. Carolyn Bay has a beauty shoppe in Tulsa. All this was too much for me so I decided to turn in at Bunny’s Drive Inn and calm my nerves with a malt. The propr etors. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Wolf. (Mrs. Wolf is the former Georgia Grubb) were eating out on their sixth wedding anniversary. Patty Williams and her close chum Roberta Bumpus were there. Patty is head librarian now and Roberta has a cute little print shop. I was very peacefully sipping my malt when someone hit me on the back and I looked up to see Gen. Tommy Green. We got so absorbed in our talking that we didn’t hear Mark Hardick take our pictures. Tommy was telling me that Jack Acklin was an all-American football player now. J. Lyall Smith had his dad’s Ford gar- age. Don Lloyd has a barber shop, and Bill Barth was just loafing around. After we discovered Mark we asked him to Join in on our conversation. He told us that he is the local photographer for the Citizen. He also mentioned that Sylvia Cates is with the P. B. I.. Frances Carpenter is a typing instructor in New York City, Dortha Morton Is sales manager at Woolworths and Pat Murrell is a telephone operator. (You might know Mark would know about all the girls.) I asked about Charline Oglesby. He said she married her sailor and they have two children. I wanted to know what hap- pened to our band queen of ’49 (Virginia Moser, of course) and she has also married and has three sets of twins. We got into Tommy’s car to take a ride and something went wrong with it so we turned in at the Don Foresee garage. As a result of our talk with Don we found that Wanda Mc- Nally was a nurse now and Belva Belveal is a math expert in Washington. D. C. Off we went again for more news. We decided that if we found Dale Robison, local bootlegger, we would surely learn some information. Luckily we found him home with his wife, the former Mary Jo Cope. He named off a few of the married girls: Janice Hockemeyer Mullins, Deloris Ward Christy. Joyce Bruns Whitlock, and Lita Hetzel Morton. All of the girls have children except De- loris who is a secretary for her husband. We were try ng to catch our breath Just as the phone rang. It was Paul Bell trying to persuade Dale into giv- ing up his profession. (Paul is a minister now.) We turned on the radio Just as George Barnett’s program was going off. He is a second Dennis Day. The next program was a soap drama starring Wilma Blackburn. The sponsor was T. J. Floyd’s Beauty Salon for Men. We took our leave and decided to drop in at the drugstore aga n. Loretta Wilson, who is a plumber, was working on the pipes while Francis Fisher was telling her what to do. Francis is the local undertaker. Ralph Cockrell came in. Ralph struck oil in Wyoming and is sponsoring a string band on the radio. Next. Jo Gaunt came in. She s a very successful model in Houston, Texas. It looked as if everyone in town was around our table exchanging bits of news. Nila Thompson, who is still interested in ”berries. Floyd Lamb, who has a farm east of town. Katherine Lohaus (a politi- cian by the way) all joined us. We found that Charles Lyman has Long-Bell Lumber Co.. Lillie Baker Is a make-up artist in Hollywood, and Neva June Sadler has a ladies fashion shop which Rita Hetzel helps with. Pat Back has an Arthur Mur- ray dancing studio in New York and Colleen Cou- teau is working in Dallas. Texas, as a cigarette girl in a night club. We learned that the Robert Ridenours (Nelda Rice) and the Frank Sherrods (Letha Sadler) had gone together and purchased the Fon Du Lac. They have Just engaged the famous orchestra leader, J. D. Pote. for the w nter season. I called it a day for I knew I had a big day ahead of me tomorrow. As I was going back to my hotel room I thought how small the world really is. ■tt ■X ■x •X •X ■X ■Cr x •tr • x x x • X ■ X ■ X ■ X • X ■ X •X • X • X ■ X •X ■X • X SENIORS....
