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.

This PAGE tells the story of our first school building and our first school teacher. Our first school building was the upstairs of a general store, and due to this fact the tall boys had to sit in the middle of the room and the small children sat at the side of the room as the roof of the store was slanting. The books of this time were varied and of many types because they came from other states and as yet Oklahoma was not a state and there were no standard books. The tea- cher taught her students manners and courtesy but the people of the town did not approve of this. The first schoolteacher, the former Miss Jennie Robertson, now Mrs. Jennie Brown, attended school in Illinois and came to Oklahoma with her parents where she opened her own school in her father's store. Her first school had only 67 students, ranging from the first grade to the eighth. This school was also the first Sunday school. Mrs. Brown is still living in Cushing, where, as a young girl, she first taught school. 010201020000020100020002070108
