Cushing High School - Oiler Yearbook (Cushing, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1951 volume:

THE VIVACITY 1351 PRESENTS DEDICATION Efficiency, generosity, and serenity are terms which succinctly, but ac- curately, characterize the personality of our popular high school registrar. Miss Virginia Weaver, to whom we dedicate this 1951 yearbook. Miss Weaver came to Cushing High School seven years ago with a rich background of classroom teaching experience. She not only taught for a number of years before coming to Cushing, but spent two years teaching in one of our city grade schools. This classroom experience, no doubt, accounts to a great extent for much of the understanding and patience which Miss Weaver evidences every hour of the day in dealing with the problems of the faculty and student body. Miss Weaver's Alma Mater is Central State College at Edmond, where she graduated with a major in education and history. Extra curricular activities. Auntie Vir- ginia enjoys baby sitting with her young nieces, Barbora and Brenda Weaver. Always busy and friendly are two words thot describe Miss Weaver. She helps students solve their problems every day with her cooperation ond helpfulness. Ready for the day's work.

The members of the Board of Education are to be highly complimented for the building of one of the outstanding educational institutions in Oklahoma. A grateful Cushing gives high praise and genuine thanks to the cou- rageous citizens, who as members of the Board of Education, have done such a glorious job for education through the years. Reading from left to right: Mr. W. A. Giordo, Clerk; Lewis Corey, Member; Rex Hargroves, President; Allen Gould, V. President; Robert Davis, Member; W. D. Corr, Superintendent.

AUSTIN Vocal Music The newly organized Boys Glee Club is making rapid advancement. The interest and enthusiasm shown by the boys also are reflected in their work. This group consists of 32 boys, the largest per cent having had no previous musical training. During the year they made many public ap- peorances. The outstanding performance of the yeor was the presentation of Gilbert Sullivan's operetto, The Gondoliers. Junior Business is a part of our guidonce pro- gram. In this course we try to get the pupils to choose in such a way that they will develop into integrated ond well-adjusted personalities. In seventh grade science there is no evidence of shorp boundary lines between the various branches of science os biology, physics, and chem- istry.' We help the student to know obout the science of the world he lives in. Understanding, insight, generalization, and mastery are among the key objectives of -the course in seventh grade mathematics. Topics in arithmetic ond everyday geometry receive approxi- mately cquol attention. The fundamentals of arithmetic ore rebuilt from the very beginning and ore stressed continually throughout the course. During the second semester the meaning of per cent and its common uses ore introduced. In the odvonced course in Algebra we strive to moster the manipulation of the operations studied in the first course and to extend the use of this tool to applications from related fields. This course is used olso os o means of introducing the student to courses in higher mathematics such os Analytic Geometry, Trigonometry, and special topics from College Algebra. MISS CLICK Commerce The bookkeeping students will learn the im- portance of keeping records of their own financial affairs and how to keep those records. They will loy a foundation of fundamental information necessary in doing bookkeeping in offices or small businesses. A certain amount of business ethics is instilled in the bookkeeping student so that he will know that all public work is confidential, and thot cer- tain conduct is required of him on a job. La Close de espanol del segundo ano de la escuelo alta de Cushing Comprende? Habla espanol? We who live in the New World are becoming more and more conscious of our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere. Understanding of Spanish- speaking neighbors by studying their longuage is o sound approach to better relationships. The textbook materials are based on our own Spanish- Southwest, Mexico, West Indies, and the South American republics. The use of motion picture films ond phonograph records (music and Spanish language) adds interest ond at the some time in- creases knowledge and oppreciotion for the civili- zation and culture of our fellow Latin-Americans. MISS COLLINS Foreign Language The oim of this course is to increose the un- derstanding of the fundomentol ideos ond pro- cesses of mothemotics. Attention is given to accurate computation ond careful measurement, also construction of accurate figures and copying figures either full size or to scale. MRS. COOK Home Economcis MRS. DeMERITT Math Eighth Grade students are particularly inter- ested in themselves, their families, and their friends. They arc very enthusiastic and eager to begin their work in homemaking. It moy be a personal desire to receive increased recognition and privileges; to earn spending money by coring for small children; to help provide adequate family recreation; to improve home environment and to improve their appearance, health and personality. Eighth Grade students must learn to share re- sponsibility and to assume leadership within their group. This group of eighth grade girls ore planning their clothing unit which consists of making o place mot, a tea towel, an apron ond a skirt. The world history classes are chiefly for the promotion of better citizenship. Studies include ancient os well as modern histories of every country in the world. These classes help us to develop a greater understanding for the people of other countries. MR. DUE History, Drivers Ed. MISS FLUD Commerce In the Typing I closscs, the students hove two objectives which they hope to reach by the end of the year: One, to acquire enough skill ot the typewriter to enable them to apply it to ony personal use which they might hove need for; and second, to give them enough typing to enable them to determine if they have an aptitude for it and if they want to pursue it further in ad- vanced typing. In Typing II, students develop further in speed and skill and become more proficient in office routine ond work. They do jobs for the school, such os typing office-record cords, stenciling, typing reports, etc.; and community jobs such os addressing envelopes for Christmas Seals, and stenciling programs for organizations. MISS GILBERT Science This is the fifth period general science class; consisting of twenty-seven freshmen boys ond only two freshmen girls. This particular day we ore studying Why Sounds Differ from One Another. What makes o sound pleasant or unpleosant, loud or soft, high or low ond what gives a note quality, ore oil sub-topics of this problem. This course is largely a theory course designed to give the student on introduction to all of the different phases of science. We study some physics, some chemistry, a little biology ond physi- ology, and even a little astronomy ond horticul- ture. If a student hos on interest in science he should be able to determine in which field his interest is by studying the different phases in our generol science course. MR. GODFREY Woodwork Tobies, choirs, desks, ond cedor chests are just a few of the many things thot the woodwork students hove made this year. The students not only study woodwork books, but do the actual application of the job described. Skill and knowl- edge of woodwork will be an osset to any boy in his loter life, regardless of his occupation. English II provides bosic literory material which will enlarge the student's realm of interest, knowl- edge, and understanding. These classes also help the student to form hobits of clcor thinking; they stimulate him to greater effort in forming better speech habits and encourage him to write ond speak about things within his own observation ond experience. MRS. HOBBS Speech Drama Whether its setting hos been the marble col- umns of ancient Greece, the crude arts of the Middle oges, the cobbled innyards of Elizobethan England, the showboat oglitter on the Missis- sippi, or the ornate theotres ond picture palaces of today—the stage hos always had a peculiar foscinotion for the overage individual. The students of the drama moy experience the delights of both spectator ond octor, and at the some time develop themselves as individuals. The course strives to stress three phases of dramatic class work. The first is the study of the dromo as one of the chief divisions of the literature of the world. The second is the Actual Acting ond Production of ploys. The third is the develop- ment of the individuality. Ernie Combrink, Melvin Richeson, ond Jan Williams, members of the Boys Home Living Class ore trying out some of the equipment in the foods laboratory. They ore wearing their butcher ap- rons which they made earlier in the year. Some of the units studied by the boys are plonning ond serving meals; clothing, choice ond care; good grooming; consumer education; hous- ing ond housekeeping; personal development; ond health ond first aid in the home. MRS. McCUISTION English English I offers o wide ronge of activities. Stu- dents arc expected to utilize all those normal life situations in which orol and written English ore used to establish desirable skills and hobits of usoge. Word study is given an important place os well os spelling and punctuation. To improve reoding skills ond appreciation, the students read Treasure Island, a novel of adventure. MR. McGEE History and Physical Education The development of good citizens is the chief function of Social Science. The students become fomiliar with the geography, the history, the development ond the resources of Oklahoma. This is followed by a study in Civics. It is hoped that the students will become active in promoting the future development of their state. With The Cushing Oiler os their laboratory medium, the students in the journalism and print- ing departments collect, write, edit, and print the news about high school activities at intervals of two weeks during the school year. Through this practice they not only learn the mechanics of newspaper English but also how to appreciate and use the daily newspapers. MR. POTE Journalism United States History is a very interesting sub- ject, as most seventh grade students will agree. The history students have studied U. S. history from the discovery of America up until the present time. Current Event papers ore read often and films help to impress the events on the minds of the students. Pictured above is Harvey Slode's homeroom, 7-3, and history class consisting of 23 students. MR. SLADE History and Physical Education MR. SCHILDE Instrumental Music The Cushing High School Instrumental Music Deport- ment has enjoyed another very busy ond successful school year. The 65 piece Cushing High School Bond, during the foil, oppeored ot 8 footboll gomes, marched in the homecoming porade ot A. M. College, ond competed in the Stote Marching Contest ot Oklohomo City, re- receiving o very high roting there. The 40 piece orchestra was honored with on invita- tion to the Highland Pork Festival ot Dallas, Texas. The orchestra olso presented o Musical Extrovogonzo ot which the first Orchestro Queen of the Cushing Or- chestra was crowned. The extrovogonzo was very pop- lar with the public. There were some members of both the orchestro ond the bond chosen to compete in the All Stote Organi- zations ond in the Southwest Conference, the lotter being held in Oklohomo City, with Mr. Edwin Schilde, our own Instrumental Musical Director, os Choirmon of the All-Conference Musical groups. Librarians Pot Sullivon ond Jeonie Miltimore ore checking books to Jeon Gaunt ond Billy Pinion. Hove to study hard this hour? Would you like to read o while? Cushing High School students hove en- joyed for the second yeor the reorrongement of the library. Behind the desk ore located the reserve books, magazines, ond over 300 strip films on vorious sub- jects. Making a report on penicillin? Look in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literoture for articles on the sub- ject. Where is o mop of New Zeolond? Here is one in the Britonnico World Atlas. Who is Audubon? Found my answer in the Amcricono Encyclopedia. Do you wont a change of scenery? Then travel with the book Young Conada by Peck. Oops! the library hour is over; it's time for closs. ■■ The story of Americo is o thrilling revelation of man's determination to be free. American literoture draws its most outstanding characteristics from this rich heritage of freedom. From its literature we hope to enjoy its beauty and develop o deeper appreciation of its greatness. As we read of man's development we learn to live with our neighbors ond how we con use whot we know. MRS. WEBB English—Jr. High Our young people must build the control of language which they need in order to communicate effectively with others ond in order to think clearly ond logically about their problems. Many reoding difficulties ore language difficulties. To understood adequately the meaning of printed language, it is imperative thot one hove control of important language constructions. This is the first time for the Physics closs to hove o period for the text and o period for working in the loborotory. There ore eight students under the direc- tion of T. L. Webb, oil of whom ore boys. The first hour the students work ond discuss their assignment in the text Dynamic Physics. The sec- ond hour they do experiments in the laboratory. Each student hos on opportunity to do on experiment in front of the group. They hove hod o very successful year. MR. WOODS Agriculture The F.F.A. is composed of chartered stote associations which, in turn, are mode up of local chapters situated in high schools having deport- ments of vocational agriculture. The boys en- rolled in such courses constitute its active mem- bership but provision is also made for associate and honorary memberships. Membership is en- tirely voluntary. The primary aim of the FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA is the development of agricultural leadership, cooperation, ond citizenship. The American history closs has been carried on with great interest by both students and teocher. To moke history more vivid and color- ful the closs hos made coloniol newspapers, had panels, ond hove given some very interesting re- ports. Highlight of the year was the trip by bus to the copitol at Oklahoma City. At the capital the closs visited the House of Representatives, the Senate and wos introduced to the Governor, Johnston Murroy. The year hos been eventful and exciting to all. MR. FINK MR. SKELTON Science Physical Education Reading from loft to right: C. H. Richeson, Orville O'KclIcy, Melvin Richeson, ond Clyde O'Kelley.

Vice-President or college, can compare with this year. It is some- Dorothy Smith, Sec Treos thing you have worked for ever since you entered Eorl Berger, President the first grade, and now you hove accomplished that something. As we look back on our years of school, we regret that they passed so fast, and the time has come for us to graduate. We'll never be able to thank our teachers for their undying help or to forget the friends we have made. As alwoys, seniors ore looked up to, and we hope we haven't let anyone down in their opinion of us. During our school years we hove enjoyed ban- quets, football, basketball, and baseboll gomes, and in our junior year our class had the first Junior and Senior Prom sponsored by the school ever to be hod in CHS. Miss Johnson Lorraine Beckham, Vice-President Richard Cobb, Sec.-Treos.

Juniors JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS (Left to Right) DON KENNEY, Sec -Trees. AL WILLIAMS, President R B. HARRIS, Vice-President The future senior class of '52 has quite a record for itself. The class hos many students who are prominent in both our school system and commun- ity. In our school many of our boys are on the foot- ball and basketball team. Some of them. Gene Pound and Jess Largent, played regular line on our football team. And many others played a won- derful gome for us. On our basketball team Don Kenny, our tall center, has made loads of points for our champs. On our second team, Paul Schnack plays a very nice game. Of course, there are others who ore fine players, too. However, oil boys do not need to be Athletes to be known in our school. R. B. Harris is known for his excellent art work and for his outstanding performance in “Dear Ruth ' Al Williams, our junior class president, is known for his speech work, F.F.A. work, and acting in “Dear Ruth. JUNIORS OF 1950 AND 1951 Our girls are prominent, too. Leto Peyton has done very good work in this Vivacity. She also had a part in our ploy Dear Ruth. Another of our girls, Mantha Jane Bolton, is both prominent in school and community. She was named Best Actress at the Speech Tournament held here in February. She was also in our junior play Dear Ruth, which was named os one of the best and most successful comedies ever to be presented on the stage of C.H.S. Another one of our girls, Joan Skelton, was awarded honorary mention for her performance in the Cim- arron Volley play. She was also in the junior play. Many other junior girls are very well known and liked by all. Three of the greatest events of the class are the junior play, junior picnic, and Junior-Senior Ban- quet. We have loads of fun at all of them. OUR HATS ARE OFF TO YOU JUNIORS OF 1950-51 Besides these accomplishments they have Brains. From 20% to 25% of the closs make the Honor Roll every six weeks.

The coptoin of the winning team, Susonne Tewele, is serving the coptoin of the losing team, Dennis Brown, o pie in the face. The fact that the third goal of 265 Posts and Journals was reoched, also gives the general manager of the soles drive, Gerry Wyott, the privilege of serving tne bond director, Edwin Schilde, with a generous helping of pie in the face. Onlookers are two members of the bond, Sam Belloh ond Richard Foling. The vocational cabinet-making closs of Cushing High School, made the beoutiful lectern pictured, for the Cushing Education Association who presented it to the Oklahoma Education Association for its new building. Made of white ook, the lectern is of modernistic de- sign. A special added feature is a four-inch platform which folds into the cobinet. This platform when folded out gives four inches added height to short speakers or youngsters. The lectern has a five-inch level deck across the entire front for microphones Another feature of the lectern is the gallery-enclosed top to conceal the speaker's popers and to protect the audience from reflected light. The tables pictured here were con- structed by the vocational cabinet- making Closs for the Board of Educa- tion room. Solid walnut two inches thick was used in these tables which were fin- ished in o beautiful hand-rubbed finish.

Ah, now there is o picture coming into view, it seems to be o wrestling ring in Madison Square Garden. The wrestlers are under the bright lights of television. The picture is clearing, ah yes, now we see the faces of the wrestlers you will associate them with the names of Louwena David and Josephine Carter. Challenging the winner of this foil is the all time champion Maxine Savory. Another picture comes into view. We find that Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hughes, formerly Martha Mull, have reopened the Fon-Du-Lac. There's another familiar face, oh yes,, it's the bouncer Joe Peery. We see that o great world renowned opero team is appearing there for the floor show. Here they come now, you will recognize them os Earl Berger and Billy Barnes. Now the picture is changing, we see a stage and now entering ore Donald's Dancing Dozen, managed and owned by Don Hoymes. Hmmm! some of the faces of these fine specimens of bubble dancers look familiar, ah yes, now I recognize the faces of Janis Fairbanks, Ruby Moss, Jonese Patterson, ond Kathryn Tipton. The scene now switches to a quiet lake scene on Lake Texoma, o cove entrance at the right. It seems this is the home of C. L. Mizell, Jim Ladd, ond Walter Sims, who hove turned hermit and are living a life of ease fishing most of the time and talking about women the rest. The smoke lifts now leaving the picture of padded cell. Two dark figures are walking the cell mumbling to themselves, now the scene draws closer, We find it is Ernie Combrink ond Jock Houston and they seem to say over and over, Is this a dogger which I see before me? Here comes the warden down the hoi I, the name that goes with that face is Mory Marlernee, let's listen to whot she's saying. Shall I compare thee to o summers day. Could it be??? Now we see o truck rolling into view, we see it's a garbage truck and find that five graduates of '51 are quite prominent on the trash collect- ing force. You'll probably know them os Dennis Brown, Gene Wright, Leslie Binklie, Don Belveal, and Bob Bledsoe. The scene changes, we find two old maids bearing the nomes of Peggy Sue Morton and Connie Odom. They are seated at a desk writ- ing away on the manuscript for publication in the True Love Magazine, entitled How to Catch o Mon. Now we seem to be moving down the hall- way of old C. H. S. We look in the doorway of the English Literature room ond find that Charles Barnes is teaching this. As the scene sweeps over the students we find that Richard Cobb, Leon Matthews, Wilma Whipkey, and Barbara Clounch ore still grinding owoy at their studies. Now we look in the office door ond find that John Leftwich is now Principal, and who would be his secretory, none other than Dorothy Pounds. Seems John can't get up enough nerve. We also find that Jim Howell is the school bookkeeper. Hmmm, who'd a thought it? Now the scene changes to the library, we find David Cooke is the custodian. Wonder what ever mode him do that? Now the picture settles on a book, it's entitled How To Cook A Duck, by Marvin Lane, the big gome hunter. Again the scene changes this time on a maga- zine, the pages open and who should we see but Avis and Mavis Morris modeling for the phonev twins. Coming into view now is a circus, it seems the main attraction is the girly-girly show, we —122— find selling tickets Elmer Manatowa. Now we enter the tent and on the stage we see Lorraine Beckham, Gerry Wyatt, Mary Louise Pancoast, and Ardith Leavell. The star of the show is the one and only Fi-Fi Gibble (Earlene). Second Part This scene changes to a place in a courtroom, we find the Honorable Arthur Oestmann, Jr. presiding in the Brown versus Burke case. It seems that Jeanne Burke hit Lula Mae Brown on a curve and Lula Mae is suing her for assault and battery. Pleading the Burke case is the one and only feminine lawyer, Billie Bruns, who recently was admitted to the bar. Brown has hired on his experience in debate, the sensa- tional Don Kunard. We find in the next scene Mary Black and Dorothy Smith. They have chosen for their career, teaching the manly art of self defense to the dainty sex who are on the market for men. Some of the many who are enrolled in this course are graduated of C. H. S. Namely, Ruby Mayfield, Bonnie Miller, and Mary Lou Quick. (Ten to one they don't use this knowl- edge for self defense.) Now we see making a career out of army life, four of the graduates of '51. It seems as if they really spend most of their time peeling potatoes and washing dishes. They are William Sims, Lloyd Allen, Eugene Tidwell, and Billy Burden. Next we see the speedy Lyle Maynard and Gale Collins making a career in big game hunt- ing. Happy Hunting Men. The scene shifts to a grocery market. We find still happily married, Patti Peterson Williams, Betty Faubian Overfelt, and Wanda Luallen McAulay. When asked what they at- tribute to holding down their marriage, they reply, Good old fashion rolling pins. In the changing scene we find several fa- miliar faces in a local pool hall. We see that Tommy Hood, Benny Allen, and Robert Steele have chosen their vocations as spittoon polishers. We now see in a modeling agency, some of the graduates of '51 who have found their voca- tion modeling. We see modeling the latest thing in hip boots, the design to wear for that casual afternoon look and tea parties, Jean Mc- Crackion. For that new look in evening wear we find Beverly Hagar modeling a vogue number in tennis shoes. Another '51 graduate, Dorothy Grotheer displaying for that sophisticated look in evening wear, polkadot knickers trimmed with ostrich feathers. (What a racket) The scene, now at a hair pin factory, finds Betty Riggs, Mary Alice Ulrey, and Wilma Boles bending hair pins for a living. Nearby the factory, in a research lab, four of the '51 graduates, Janie Bryant, Marilyn Percell, Ann McGaha, and Juanity Darnaby are searching away, as they have been in the past several years, to discover what the dickens The Thing can be. We see that Charles Pickering and Allen Gayhart have started up a railroad. They call their railroad the P G. (Little do they know this washes them up.) Their chief engineer is Casey better known as Kenneth Case. Any similarity between these predictions and their true outcome is purely coincidental. —123— CLASS WILL We, the seniors of '51, being of sound body and mind, hereby moke our last will and testa- ment in Cushing High School.
