The enthusiasm with which the project was accepted and carried through to a most successful conclusion should be an inspiration to students of our high school for years to come. As we draw near the close of this school year I wish to extend my best wishes to the seniors who will soon leave our halls and to urge other students of Drum- right High School to accept the responsibility of raising the level of achievement in all school activities. Success in all activities will come after a realization on the part of all the students that those who participate must do so with all their determination and energy. and the 1939 Gusher Staff has provided an excellent example to follow. Page Twelve FRANK D. HESS Superintendent of the Drumrigh+ Public Schools Page Thirt A. C. WIEMER Principal Drumrighl' High School After an absence of one year, we welcome the return of our annual, The Gusherf' Its reappearance was made possible by the united effort of the mem- bers of the graduating class of 1939. Much of the hard work was done early in the school year during a campaign in which enough advertising and books were sold to guarantee the funds necessary for pubfication. Members of the class and particularly members of the staff have experienced great satisfaction in the successful completion of this project and they will find their reward in having had a part in it. Through it, also. they have experienced the results of organization planning and co-operative endeavor, Surely, from the standpoint of the training received can such a project or activity be justified. I extend to the class of 1939 my hearty congratulations and to each individual member my most sincere wishes for a useful and happy life. A. C. Wz'emer Page Fourteen OPAL CLIFTON A. B.

We have attained the desire of our high school days, have realized the fond hopes we cherished: graduation and a diploma. Now we go forth, some to col- lege, some to immediate participation in life with sentiments of happiness not en- tirely free from feelings of sadness that accompany us when we leave a phase of our work-an epoch of our lives forever. We regret leaving D. H. S., the scene of many of our joys, our sorrows, hopes and failures, for she has been a mother to us. But in later years we shall look back to our Alma Mater with joyful feelings unalloyed by sorrow or regret. Page Thirty-three The wisest word he often speaks: the rest he leaves He excels in all his studies.

We were immediately placed under the capable guidance of our first sponsors, Miss Mildred Parker, Miss Beulah Zimmerman and Mr. V. A. Pleasant . For our first class officers Roberta Huff- man served as president, assisted by Pat Shanks as vice president, Mary Earl Sow- ers as secretary-treasurer and Don Ryan as yell leader. After a most successful year the majority of the class passed on for Sophomore recognition. As Second Termers we selected Mr. A. W. Regier to guide us safely through 1936 and '37. Pat Shanks headed the class as president and Donald Ryan, Helen Martin, and Rex Starkey officiated as vice president, secretary-treasurer and yell leader respectively. We also had the distinction of electing two officers to the Student Council, usually dominated by the upper classmen. They were Marian Starr and Mary Earl Sowers, who held the offices of treasurer and secretary. We first began to feel important when we entered the fall of '37 as Juniors. Realizing we had a most important job of presenting a Junior-Senior banquet, we elected Miss Dorothy Richesin, new faculty member, as sponsor. To head the class as officers, Mary Earl Sowers was elected president and C. E. Moore as vice president, with Roberta Huffman as secretary-treasurer and Sam Denyer as yell leader. The class left the memory of one of the most successful Junior-Senior banquets ever to be given and the highest of standards to be lived up to by the succeeding Junior class. And finally the height of our school careers-Seniors! Many and noteworthy are the accomplishments of the class of '39. Elected as sponsors were Mr. Philip Bohart and Mrs. H. C. Means. It was through their untiring efforts that we have been able to publish this yearbook, and we feel that we as a class are deeply indebted to them. The class elected as their officers Gale Seigler, president, Char- les Stephenson, vice president, Roberta Huffman, secretary-treasurer and Jimmie Nell Homan, yell leader. We also succeeded in electing three officers to the Student Council, namely, Mary Earl Sowers as President, Bob Smith as Vice President, and Marion Starr, treasurer. Thus, taking with and leaving behind us many cherished memories, we ap- proach commencement-graduation from the Alma Mater of our high school days-D. H. S.

After a season's hard work, the mem- bers of this year's Gusher Staff feel that they have succeeded in reaching a climax in a long line of meritable annuals. Beginning with the 1915 issue, which was edited by a staff of four seniors, the Gusher has been published. with the exception of three years, Without inter- ruption. The present staff is one of the largest in the history of the Gusher For the success of the book, much credit must be given to all who assisted in the organization of this book. Personal credit should be given to Mrs. Hugh Means and Philip Bohart, senior class sponsors, and to the business men for financial assistance.

REGIER President Vice-Pres. Treas. MARTIN Sponsor Secr'y. Representing the student body at large, the Student Council of Drumright High School has rendered an invaluable service to the continued growth and progress of the school. lt's purpose is to supervise all school interests, plan assembly programs, pro- vide an usher squad, and serve as a link between the student body and the ad- ministration. The Council has had a most successful year, including the project of redecorat- ing the Gusher Room of the school in which the semi-monthly meetings are held. It is affiliated with the Oklahoma Federation of Student Councils. The type of student self-government maintained at Drumright High School is a splendid example ofia democratic and cooperative organization. As the gov- erning council of the Student Body, the ambition of the Council is to further the expression and execution of student opinions and policies.

Debate Squad was organized for the purpose of giving a com- prehensive and practical training to the student. who realizes the value of good speaking and sound argumentation. This organization. promoted and carried on under the competent coaching of Mr. Homer Ledbetter, has met with success at tournaments throughout the state: some of these being at Enid. Shawnee. Oklahoma City, Blackwell, Chick'- asha. Ada, and Edmond. This club is a comparatively new organization in D, H. S., but with the growing demand and necessity for this type of work we believe that it will event- ually become an inseparable part of Drumright High School.

L Band Queen Band In it's eight years of existence, the Drumright High School Band has stead- fastly maintained a high standard of excellence. The instrumental music depart- ment came into being under the capable leadership of its present director, Ronald E. Gerard. The music activities of the school revolve around approximately 200 students each year. The losses through graduation and transfers is keenly felt. but these vacancies are soon filled from reserve members who are in training. In a short time the gaps are iilled and a new group is progressing as remarkably as their predecessors. The instrumental groups are: The High School Band, The Auditorium Orchestra, Pep Bands. The Drummerettes. The Elementary Bands. and a num- ber of ensembles. The Band presents three formal concerts a vear: the Band Queen Coronation Concert, the Spring Concert and the Music Week Carnival Concert. Maior events the Band enters vearly are: Tulsa District Elimination Meet, the Okla- homa Interscholastic Music Contests. the All State Band and Orchestra Clinic, the Oklahoma City Band Festival. and the Tri-State Band Festival. The Band has gained notable attention for its outstanding Field Maneuvers given during the football season. They have been guests at several other high schools and colleges where they have given their fancy marching drills and demon- strations. All of these are original in the mind of the director. Students receive theilil marching instructions at the early morning hour of 7:00 A. M.. twice a wee . Always willingly responding for all occasions of civic interest in their town. the Band functions through the summer months givng weekly free concerts at the city park. They have come a long way in eight years. Starting when there was not even a chair provided. thev sat on horn cases. keqs. boxes. and manv stood up during entire rehearsals. Now they have one of the very finest band halls in the country, a fine set of complete uniforms. and a balanced instrumen- tation of which any director would be proud. Quite a distinction came to the Director this year when his daughter was crown- ed queen at the annual Band Queen Concert. Ruth Anne Gerard winning over several other candidates. Mr: Cverard is serving as President of the Oklahoma Band and Orchestra Association. which has as its members 200 directors of the state. The Band and other music students appreciate this honor that has come to their director. Page Sixty nme W' i N' . . xxx i A t E47 gil . X 2- ll ?r'1i'iy,S,- Swv, 2-43t2L T1',a. .A g 1' T---,..

It has gained state-wide recognition with its perfect marching and snappy playing. This group of girls is sponsored by the Drumright Junior Chamber of Com- merce and directed by R. E. Gerard. Officers in the corps are: president, Margaret Jett: vice-president, Mayme Swank: secretary, Marie Davis: treasurer, Sid Dace: historian, Doris Penning- ton: quartermaster. Oretta Holder: reporter, Katherine Johnson: drum major, Gwendolyn Martin: twirling drum majors, Ruth Eades and Wanda Cook. Page Seve-rztg, Orcheslra The Auditorium Orchestra was organized four years ago by the director of instrumental music. Mr. Ronald E. Gerard. and has shown steady improvement. It is a popular instrumental group made up of advanced students of music in our high school. They perform at all important school entertainments and different programs and banquets sponsored by our civic organizations. The orchestra has three scheduled rehearsals weekly and has had a very suc- cessful year: One of the outstanding concerts was that given for the benefit of the electric scoreboard installed in the new gymnasium. This concert showed the ability ofthe students to play popular as well as classical music.

With only six of last year's lettermen returning, it was neces- sary to use quite a few inexperienced boys in the games this year: but for the experience these boys lacked they made up for in spirit and fight and the fans will agree that Drumright turned out the fightingest team that they have had in years. Although the Tornadoes were not as successful in victories as they had hoped to be, they were successful in placing boys on two all conference teams. Dickie Hinds, guard, was placed on the All Cimmaron Valley first team, and Pat Shanks, fullback, was placed on the All Northern Conference first team. The Tornadoes were also successful by the fact that they scored points in every game with the exception of two. This shows that they were indeed powerful offensively. The future for the Tornadoes is indeed bright, for of the squad of thirty-live boys. only six will be lost by graduation. Page Seuentyffour Review of Season DRUMRIGHT 25-RIPLEY 0 The Tornadoes opened the season with a bang by trouncing a scrappy Ripley eleven. We outclassed them in every way. The new men in our line showed up well. DRUMRIGHT 6-PAWNEE 6 At Pawnee a fighting Pawnee team held us to a tie. Although favored to win, the Tornadoes couldn't seem to get started. Several fumbles by the Red and White boys set up the Pawnee score, turning victory into a tie. DRUMRIGHT 6-CLEVELAND 7 This was the first loss of the season. Although we completely outplayed the visitors, they still managed to eke out a victory over us. The Tornadoes had possession of the ball on Cleveland's one yard line twice, but failed to score. DRUMRIGHT 6--OILTON 19 Due to the weak pass defense, owing to inexperienced backfield men, the Drumright fighting team dropped this traditional battle, although the Tornadoes outfought the Panthers on the ground. DRUMRIGHT 13-HOMINY 6 Completely bottling up I-lominy's ace passer except for a few minutes in the first half, the Tornadoes seemed to click on every play and won handily. DRUMRIGHT 6-FAIRFAX 35 This was the first game in which we were completely outplayed. The game seemed more of a slugfest than a football game. Fairfax was penalized a total of 135 yards during fthe game. DRUMRIGHT O-STILLWATER 25 Stillwater, considered by many as one of the best teams in the state, trounced us the following week. The second string was sent into the game at the half and helf the Pioneers to one touchdown from then on. DRUMRIGHT 8--YALE 0 Drumright broke back in the win column with a win over the Bulldogs. The line regained their charge and played bang-up football. The game climaxed an Armistice celebration in Drumright. DRUMRIGHT 12-BRISTOW 31 This was our only game played in cold weather. For awhile it looked as if we were going to upset the powerful Bristow eleven, for in the first five minutes we scored 12 points, but with their strong passing attack Bristow soon turned our hoped for victory into defeat. . DRUMRIGHT O-CUSHING 7 We met our tradional rival on their Held and again lost a heart-breaker. Along in the fourth quarter when the game was tied, a costly fumbly by Drumright gave Cushing the ball, and they carried it on across for the victory. DRUMRIGHT 20-ALUMNI 19 In the final game of the year we turned back the old grads: however this year they were a younger bunch of boys than usual. In this space We would like to express our feelings toward the 1938 football team and its coach. We think that we have one of the best coaches in this part of the country and hope that we will be fortunate in keeping him. Much credit is due Mr. Freeman, for he took a bunch of green boys, some who had never had on a football suit, and turned out a fighting, scrapping team. Throughout the seasons to come we wish him the best of luck. Page Seventy-Hue A 3 If , ' . Z' 4 5 'P N' , R g',g4 fS:X' fx a QQQQJ.

After the Hrst few weeks of practice the squad was moved to the new gym. From the Hrst game the team developed rapidly, and with fourteen lettermen returning for next year the Tornadoes should put a line team on the court. Although the Tornadoes were not entirely successful as far as wins are con- cerned, they did show power in beating such teams as Hominy, Fairfax, Cleve- land. and others. A great majority of our losses were by close scores. In closing, let's all give a cheer for the l939-40 football and basketball teams of D. H. S. and wish them the best of luck. BEAT CUSHINGI I! Page Seven ty-eight Minor Sports TRACK Although the Gusher goes to press early in the season when track is just be- ginning, the athletes are already earnestly at work under the supervision of Coach Dumas Freeman. This year an exceptionally large group is at work, with plenty of line material. Q TENNIS Another new sport in Drumright High School this year is tennis. Coach Freeman plans to enter a five-man team in both Northern and State meets. Also several inter-city meets have been matched. GOLF This is the second year that Golf has been offered at D. H. S. About six golfers have reported to Coach Buck Weaver. The golf team is planning on en- tering several meets later this spring. Q FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Under the capable direction of Buck Weaver this year's Fresh. basketball squad won the majority of their games and presents some splendid material for the varsity next year. Drilling on fundamentals and scrimmaging frequently in the spacious new gym, the boys all ended the season in fine shape. Page Seventy-mne O .

After many hours of thought and careful consideration, Jack Alexander consented to leave his secret of how to develop Tarzan-like biceps to Chig Haley. Those glamor girls. Lois Calvin. Margerite Butcher, Carol Colvin, and Elda Brown, bequeath their most successful winning ways to the old maids of D. H. S. Because Franklin Dagnar's trombone playing looks hope- less, Billy Anderson generously wills to him his dancing drumsticks. Rex Starkey is the eager and needy recipient of the master mind of that man of all knowledge, the power behind the throne of D. H. S.-Warren Brown. Marie Jones. in order to simplify matters leaves her last name to Atticus Pendergrass. Reluct- antly, to be sure, La Ree Elliot, Betty Packer, Roberta Huffman and Ruth Donaldson, in fact the Whole quartette, leave poor, deprived Mr. Zumwalt-without their tremoring vocal chords. And w'hile leaving vocal boxes strewn about, Jack Coodey had planned on leaving part of his deep and sonorous one to Kenneth Slaton but upon realizing that Kenneth leaves also this year. Jack decided to keep it all. Sam Denyer Jr. merely leaves the high school and seems perfectly content with that: also Harry Dace, who was so dumfounded at receiving a sheepskin he couldn't think of a thing to leave anyone. Wendell Raffety with a stroke of tenderness toward Wahoo McPherson. he- queaths to him, her prize winning essays. Nance Newport, Doris Lee Pennington, Zella Pollard, Deolas Rhyne, Eleanor Wright, and Margaret Stockman leave their mild and pleasing dispositions to a few of those boisterous Junior girls including Gwendolyn Martin and Ruth Eades. Dephine Jones, after much persuasion, finally consented to leave to Joe Moore, her admira- tion of Mrs. Ruth fShaverJ Means. Donald Ryan wills his oom-pa-paing to Lowell Clifton and Junior Wash Thomas his extroadinary nickname to Mrs. Lou Ann Pinkston. Walter Posky, one of the pillars of the high school leaves his reputation as such to little Dickie Adkins. To J. P. Dorsey Cfor encouragementj go those forward, bullet-like passes of Archie Todd, while Pat Shanks leaves his line plunging for Mr. Freeman to dream of. Considering the more musically minded graduates, Billy Martin and Ralph Osborne leave their swing tromboning for swinging trombonesj to any two who can puff as hard as they do. Wanda Cook wills her mascot uniform to Doris Bernhart and Lloyd Lennox bequeaths his prancing feet to Betty Jo Hendrix Cshe hopesj. Marcella Pearson leaves all of those musical instruments she hobnobs around with to Miriam Sellers-who already possessthe accompanying blondeness. Gayel Dean simply refused to part with either her fiddling or her politicing , so leaves the high school Cand Mr. Ledbetterj with only her memory. I Altavene Straughn and Normadean Fuller, likewise Kathryn Speck and Lucille Johnson, being practically inseparable and so much alike, agreed that they would leave something. but emphatic- ally disagreed on what it should be-hence no printing matter. Helen Renfro and Zeta Vern Trisdale will their short, short hairdresses to Anita White and Glenagene Berger, while the Golddust Four -Goldie Ferguson, Hazel Rhodes, Vera Wilborn and Hortense Youker, bequeath their sandy tresses to all those hot-headed little Freshmen. Also in the skull-covering be- queaths, Mac Payne and Warren Gelushia to Jim Russell and Billy Williams leave their waves , and Eddie Webb thinks that Mr. Pleasant could use a bit of his curly locks. Page Eighty-eight Gale Seigler leaves his position of senior class president to that 'ole Junior standby--Jack.Nash. Bernice Newsom and Mary Emma Lowe bequeath their sparkling humor for somethin'j to Miss Griscom and Miss Flora. Kenneth DeShan parts with his lumbering, loping means of locomotion in favor of Vic Jones. Mary Betty Moore and Billy Helen Haven leave behind their: questioning minds and tongues to some two who Cwe fervently hopej have more answering ability. Jack Hennings has become so attached to the 'ole Alma Mammy that he's not quite sure but what he'll linger bodily awhile. Odis Hopkins and Lloyd Johnson the handsome brutes, leave their bashful ways with wim- min to those self made heroes-Bob Scott and Harry Frizzel. Carl Owen, Lloyd Seibring and ,Kenneth Ingram will to Mr. Ledbetter, their blushing countenances fon accounta' he has more to blush withj. Continuing with the bashful boy last bequests, Robert Jamieson, Harry Arnhart, and Willis Dysart, will their timidity to Bob Sheets, Everett Stockman and Elva Rich- ardson, Juanita Bly and Mary Alma Frees leave to Miss Elbertine Reeder their efficiency among the bookshelves of the library, Bob Gilliam, Joe William and Burt Swisher give their inseparable companionship to any three who think they can put up with each other. The complete mastery of the typewriter, so gracefully possessed by J. C. Lawson and C. F. Moore, goes to those needy sufferers, Mike Murphy and Paul McKnight, and shy little Ancil Settles is to be left the bom- bastic debating of Walter McAtee. Maxine Bruce and Juanita Derington leave their prompt arrivals at school to anyone who just thinks he can walk more slowly. Odell Giddeon and Paul Gibson leave their Sophomore janes to anyone who can mend their broken hearts. Kenneth Cook, James Arnold, Bobby Bump and Kenneth Brooks leave their I. Q.'s-?-to 4 little Frosh in order that they may be improved somewhat by time for graduation. Winifred McAtee and Marie Graham leave their secret solu- tion of How to Reduce and Like lt to Jeanette and Jo Kraker. Margery Farnsworth and Ethel Louise Gregor leave their sweet manners and dispositions to Vivian Wilhite and Neosha Rhodes. Jean Drake leaves her complete understanding of all instructions issued to her, to Mary Frizzell. Geraldine Durham didn't have any trouble willing her three class Cout of 45 to a very courageous person, but Marageret Jett couldn't think of a thing to leave-since Harry Dace graduates. Leo Gibson wills his uncanny, dog-like devotion to Mr. Wiemer and his office-to Wayne Cooper. Just to make his stay in D. H. S. a more pleasant one, Mary Earl Sowers wills the presidency of the student body to Roy Lee Ace Coburn. Charles Stephenson wants to get rid of his extaordinary Latin vocabulary to most anyone who will have it. Marian Starr, who threatened us if we said anything about sweet and simple Marian wills to the faculty her sympathetic listening prowess. Raymond Wise leaves his last name tol all the backward boys while Mary Singer can leave but her memory to all those pitiful deprived little Junior boys. Helen Kraker leaves her delightful barnyard imitations heard in the middle of a boring class, to Sid Dace. George McKee bequeaths that White twin to anyone who can distinguish between the two, while Bob Smith wills his seeming popularity with the weaker sex to that Casanova -Victor Scrivens. In all seriousness, the Senior Class leaves to the Student Body two of the most helpful and co- operative sponsors any class could hope for-namely Mr. Philip Bohart and Mrs. Ruth CShaverJ Means. We also wish to leave our deepest and most sincere thanks to the faculty and adminis- tration for our very enjoyable high school careers. Page Eighty-nine PROPHECY Fate deals a queer hand. We. Mess and I, found that while attempting a flight to Nowhere- in-Particular . We went to the airport to get last minute instructions. To our great surprise and bewonderment we found Mac Payne occupying desk and chair. A sign, lettered President causes Mess to nudge me. We learned. after recalling school days, that his uncle had retired and left the irport to- the nearest relative, Mac. As We came out of the building, Lois Berg Calvin was waving her arms, between kicks at halfa dozen offspring. to her reporter-husband, Scoop, who was off for a scoop. As we were about to leave, Carol Culp Colvin flew around the corner looking for her usband. Joe. Leaving Lois and Carol, husbandless for a day. we went on our way. Just as the propeller of our plane was sent spinning by John D. Goodman, mechanic, the church bell tolled and we attended services. Joe Williams, who had always dreamed of marrying a certain Junior girl, delivered a soul-inspiring service with a halo encircling his bachelor bald , Roberta Huffman. Betty Packer, Laree Elliott, and Ruth Donaldson lent a holy air with their hymns from the choir. Rushing back to our plane we were off. In New York City we stopped at the Broken Arms. a celebrated night spot. We were greeted with a low bow by the doorman. none other than Burt Swisher, one time sophisticated playboy at D. H. S. Gayle Gerard smiled at us from the first Clarinet chair in the orchestra of Composer and leader Warren Brown. Looking around us at the crowd we spied Bob Smith, successful Gigolo, bored by it all, for once. The floorshow had just begun as we found a table. Who. of all people, should we see, but Helen Renfro, Hortense Youker, and Zeta Verne Trisdale, in a graceful bubble dance. Surprised but pleased at the girls' success, we turned to leave. None other than Kenneth Slaton met us at the door, with Madamzells, ze show es jus' begeenf' We went out in the night and met Geraldine Durham on a soap box, delivering a forceful oration on Communism. I happened to glance up and there, strung between the Empire State Building and the Chrysler building in great red letters was a sign reading TRY ROWDEN'S HAMBURGERS! NEXT TO GRAND CENTRAL . As we went slowly by a peanut vender we heard Maxine Bruce disclose to Mary Singer that she had given her engagement ring back. Mary was sympathetic but confessed that she was still hoping for one, We stood listening until a tall handsome policeman approached us with On your way. you gals, no loafin . As he went swinging on his way, Mess and I expostulated, Kenneth DcShanl Landing in England we heard familiar violin music. It came from a free hamburger stand operated by Marian Starr. Gayel Dean was attracting the unsuspecting customers with her fiddle. Billy Martin, Ralph Osborn. Lloyd Sebring. and Ellis Pickens, with Willie Saxton, and Harry Arnhart rushed up to greet us. They were touring the country giving instructions on six-man football games. Jack Alexander was along directing exercise classes. Stanley DeLong, Sam Denyer, James Arnold, Warren Gelushia, Kenneth Cook and Bobby Bump were taking in the gaiety at Picadilly Square. Skipping down to the African Congo, we met Charles Stephenson and Pat Shanks, successful business men. Pat was selling blizzard insurance to the natives and Charles was profiting from a used car agency. Upon arriving at the Nile, we found Gale S'eigler and Jack Coody. attempting to dam the river for electrical power. We found Kenneth Brooks, with wife. Mary Betty Moore, operating a fresh water stand in the the Sahara Desert. Page Ninety El Sheikh Eddie Webb rode up with a masked band of horsemen, likewise masked, consisting of Jimmy Harty, Carl Higgins, Kenneth Ingram, and Robert Jameison. William Geyer was operating a dime dance hall. We found Wendel L. Rafftey, Zella Pollard. Nancy Newport, Ramona Ray, Deolas Rhyne, Vera Wilborn, and Eleanor Wright were selling their dances. Marcella Pearson and Billy Anderson were playing the weird accompaniment on the marimba and drum. . I We left Arabia to land in Omsk, Russia. There, Lloyd Woffard and C. F.Moore were handing out loaves in the bread line. Carl Stracener and Carl Owen were waiting patiently, near by. lt seems that they were waiting to sell Lloyd a back scratcher which they had invented for the flea- bitten natives. Back down to India, we saw Doris Lee Pennington. Kathryn Speck, Margaret Stockman and Jean Thompson throwing pebbles into the pool outside the Taj Mahal. In Shanghai, Elda Pool and husband leisurely enjoyed the sights. Marguerite Butcher, Altavena Straughan, Normadean Fuller, Lela Grace. and Addie Belle Hartline waved a greeting from a tea room just outside. When we landed on the Hawaiian Islands we saw many of our old friends. Ruth Swank and Bettie Jo Swanner greeted us with leis. As we neared the village we stopped to watch a hula dance. Hazel Rhodes was the performer. Willis Dysart, Odell Gideon, Lloyd Johnson and George McKee stood in the distance enjoying themselves immensely. Archie Todd seemed a favorite among the native girls. while Odis Hopkins stood glowering. not a girl giving him hrst glance. Alaska was our next stop. Leo Gibson was selling hair restorer to the Eskimos. Maurice Potts and James Purcell were attempting to raise pineapples in the snow. We enjoyed Hollywood most of all. Jack Hennings and Donald Ryan were standins for James Steward and Slim Summerville. Donald Shobe was famous as theuleader of the Midget Gang. We always knew his voice would get him some place. Wash Thomas and Raymond Wise served as beach combers. Juanita Bly and Thorval Cargill, Ethel Louise Gregor and Marie Graham played on the beach. while Alma Frees. Billy Helen Haven, Mary Fulkerson and Mae Crouch sat gaping at movie stars. Lloyd Lenox was racing on the salt flats in Utah. Bob Gilliam and Jean Drake were married and living on the Mexican border. We rested a few days in Texas. reading all the magazines we could find. In the Weekly Shout, Winifred McAtee had an article entitled How to Keep Your School Girl Figure. Looking on through the magazine we saw Thirty Years in D. H. S. by Harry Dace, edited by his wife. Margaret Jett. Looking through Look magazine we saw Goldie Ferguson posed as a model for Henna Hair Rinse ad. We found Margery Farnsworth lecturing on How to Keep from Marrying the Man You Love . In the pan-handle we found Mary Emma Lowe and Bernice Newsom hitchhiking with a sign. Hollywood or Detonatel Dephine Jones told us about her winning the U. S'. typing contest. P'aralee Largent, Lucille Johnson, Kathryn Johnston, Marie Jones. Mary Lou McIntyre, and Zola King were waitresses at the Casa Loma in Tulsa. Back home in dear 'ole Drumright, Juanita Derrington was teaching the little Poskys to -play the flute. After seeing so many sights, we went to the Tower Theatre for diversion. Walter McAtee and Wanda Cook were doing a family act with little Walter Jr. Page N inety-one Aug. Aug. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct.

Ask for samples and prices. The Carpenter Press 716 -lth Avenue Oswego, Kansas And Here ls How We Feel About I+ Somewhere, ages back in the annals of literary composition, it became the custom for writers to proffer their readers profuse apologies for the poor quality of their work, even though they secretly thought it to be about the most valu- able contribution ever made to the world's culture. High school yearbook edi- tors become inculcated with the little whims common to. their kind, just as or- dinary human beings do, and it became customary for them to compose dole- ful swan songs, emitting their pent up grievances, and explaining, in the pro- fuse style of their forbears, just why their little book happened to so closely re- semble a total failure. Then, since I am merely human, and since ancient cus- tom grants me the privilege, I feel that I undeniably have the right to the last word in this volume. If I had written this several weeks ago some harsh things might have been said. Now, however, I find that none of those harsh statements can be recall- ed. The belief that I would derive inexplicable pleasure from hurling barbed vindictives at the masses is replaced by the kindly Wish that you will in some measure like this book. The compiling of the 1939 Gusher has entailed an enormous amount of work, the burning of much two-o'clock electricity, the almost unpardonable neglect of other duties, and has threatened to lose us some of our most valued friends. Many times things have gone wrong. There are many things we would have liked to have done in this volume that were impossible. Our work would have been much more pleasant had we been able to secure the full cooper ation of those with whom we have had to deal. But, we can never expect to have things harmoniously our way : opposition can reasonably be expected in anything attempted, The fact remains that the 1939 Gusher is completed-the crime is commit- ted. Regarding the criminalities found herein, we are responsible for them, and there are no apologies to be made. We place this bit of work on the hard block of criticism. and you are the critic-you may do with it as you please. We shall feel that not all our efforts have been in vain if you have derived a little pleasure from this volume, and we shall indeed be pleased if you keep it as yours through the years. Again, the crime is committed: we are the criminals, and like another crim- inal of more consequence, one Macbeth, I am afraid to think what I have done., Look on't again I dare not. THE EDITOR.
