3irbt 50 y[ear£ It wasn't long, however, until, in the year 1912, when the first oil was discovered near Drumright, that Cushing gained for itself the fixed place which it holds today in the oil world. Prom then on Cushing continued growing—its banks, its churches, its schools, its railroads, its post office, its many business firms—until today it is one of the mosi thriving towns in all Oklahoma. In this 1950 Vivacity of Cushing High School we have presented a record, not only of individuals and our high school life as a whole, but also one of the town in which we live. If we have succeeded in showing the various in- terests of all the students and a brief flashback of the his- tory of Cushing, we feel that we have accomplished our aim. 5. Churches of Cushing today. 6. Cushing's post oifice which was opened for busi- ness on Nov. 1. 1935. 7. Street scene of Cushing taken at Christmas time. 8. Cushing's municipal swimming pool, built in the summer of 1949.
