Spotlight VIVACITY it ii CUSHING HIGH SCHOOL We, the Vivacity staff of 1959, dedicate this edition of the Vivacity to Mr. Edwin Schilde, whose hard work in our instrumental and string departments throughout the past eleven years hos mode him a vital part of C H S. As a result of Mr. Schilde's work with our high school musi- cians, our band, orchestra, school, and town have received many honors. He is a member of Phi Beta Mu and has served as its president. C H S. truly regrets losing our friend and teacher who is resigning his position this year to enter a new field. As Mr. Schilde leaves our school, we wish him much success and happiness in the future. ■ MONTGOMERY WARDS TATE CHAMPIONS BILL BAKER'S BODY SHOP “STATE CHAMPS” FIRST ROW: Gory Hormon, Dole Smith, Glen Willioms. SECOND ROW: Jim Andrews, Vol Reneou, Erskinc Moore. Proudly C H S. swings its 59 Spotlight on the Class A State Football Champions. Our boys defeated the Oklahoma Goliath when they downed Ada 9-7 in the State Playoffs. Most of these senior boys, as well as underclass- men, have had the state championship in their dreams since their Jr. High days, and their hard work and desire to play to win finally culminoted in our first C.H S state football championship. Mr. Skelton's dreams have also come true, for not only have his boys won a state championship, but also he has won the coveted coaches award— Coach of the Year, Mr. Skelton, Hemphill, Ridley, and Due (pic- tured. on the opposite page) also stand out in our spot- light because all have helped shape these boys into champions. We proudly shine our spots on our senior players who have well performed their duty to C H S., our coaches, and that all admired toe of Jim Andrews (pictured at right) who kicked the final decision of the state championship game ... a field goal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Activities A_.j__•_.! _____ 00512270 Symbols of A Senior These are the marks of a senior—the class ring, cap, and diploma. Each person from the moment he enters the seventh grade anticipates these articles. To the seventh grader it seems very far in the future before he may attain these symbols of a senior. Time goes by very fast and soon you are a junior. When the class rings arrive in the spring, the prospective senior wears his ring with a great deal of pride. All through his senior year, the prospective graduate wears his ring with the school symbol, the tiger, facing inward. When he becomes a graduate, the ring is turned around; and the senior as well as the tiger looks into the future. In the spring the caps and gowns are se- lected and worn with pride. As he receives his cap, the senior anticipates the night of gradua- tion when he may switch the tassel on his cap to the opposite side. This will signify that he is a Cushing High School graduate. The most priceless symbol of a senior is the diploma. The graduate will cherish this valuable piece of paper for the rest of his life. The diploma not only represents twelve years of hard work, but it also stands for all of the fun we have had and the wonderful friends we have enjoyed. As we the Seniors of 1959 shine our rings, select our caps, and anticipate graduation night, it is our hope that all seniors-to-be will remember these symbols and strive to make their school proud of them. With pride, but with a touch of sadness, we turn our rings outward with the hope that we will all find happiness in the future. The '59 Senior officers ore : Judy Hedges, Secretory; Gory Harmon, President; ond Lloyd Culver, Vice-President. SENIOR CLASS As we look through this book, we the seniors of 1959 are reminded that this is the last Vivocity we will receive. We will miss all the good times at C.H.S., but we are comforted with the thought that we are taking much more with us than we have left behind. Upon leaving C.H.S. we realize that our years in the game of life have just begun, and we are areatly indebted, not only to the foculty, who has instructed us, but to all who have helped us develop team work, character, and sportsmanship. In behalf of the Senior Class of J 959 I would like to say thank you to our marvelous faculty, administration, and other students of C.H.S. who have made our years most enjoyable. We bid forewell to C H S. and to the seniors of future yeors whose memories, I'm sure, will not compare to those we hold of our school.

This is a community that has always answered Yes in response to school needs. Quite beyond whot has happened to us personally, as teachers, we can be grateful for the opportunities we hove to influence usefully the lives of others. We ore in a position not only to odd to the blessings our pupils currently enjoy, but more importantly, to help them strength- en in themselves the urge to know ond the power to learn. To exert such influence is to hove o port in the endless search for en- lightenment ond understanding, to be o link in a sequence that began with the down of humon consciousness ond will go forward os long os men ore able to ask ond willing to inquire. Those of us in your schools join hands with you in teaching the values which will make our children and America Now thot this school year is drawing to o close, we teachers hope that the students will evaluate their experiences to discover their progress and to measure growth in terms of some worth-while aim. We hope thot they have token advantage of the opportunities offered by their class schedules, textbooks, libraries, lab- oratories, field trips, discussions, films, conferences with parents and teachers and all the other tools of learning placed at their disposal. A good education, like most other accomplishments, must be planned in terms of abilities, interests, needs, and the opportunities at hand We encourage each student to count these os blessings and to use them to get where he is going. Best wishes Your Principal Members of the Boord of Education along with our superin- tendent ore Mr. Vincent Cobb, Vice-President; Mr Troy Benefiel; Mr. W. A. Giordo, Clerk; Mr. Allen Gould, Presi- dent; Mr. Som Carpenter; Mr. W. D. Corr, Superintendent; Mr. Bill Allton; ond Mr'. R. G. Boatright, Treasurer, who is not pictured. Serving without pay, the Board of Education represents a fine example of the governmental efficiency that can be attained in a democracy. The members have given liberally of time and effort in assisting to build a most excellent school system for the boys and girls of Cushing. Their untiring efforts, loyalty and confi- dence hove made this year one of our most suc- cessful Mrs. Edolcc White, with her charming smile and person- ality, makes dealing with octivity funds a pleosant tosk.
