BOARD 0F EDUCATION EARL SOWERS Left - a cup of coffee at Huff s DEDICATIO To Mr. Earl Sowers, president of our school board since 1929, we, the senior class of 1951, respectfully dedicate this Gusher. Few, if any, citizens of this state can boast a f1ner record of service to the schools of Oklahoma. Mr. Sowers not only served the Drum- right Schools faithfully for twenty-two consecutive years, but he also served two years as president of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association which he helped to organize in 1945. M. Sowers will be greatly missed by the board and school officials who have had the benefit of his leadership his great understanding of human nature and human needs his sympathy co operation, dependability and unselfishness BOARD MEMBER o g A C W me supe tendent of schools A J W ons membe N Bla e me ber S A Denye c V Ho o o y nt a es pesdet Mu L cle Ando on clek np..- STUDENT COU CIL BMO WK? went Pre' STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Left to right Esther Carter, treasurer, Bob Burris, vi:e-presi- dent, Milne Blose, president, Mrs. Hazel Apple, sponsor, Patricia Hitch, secretary, Ermale Borron, yell leader.

At the State Student Council Convention held on the O. U. campus, the Drumright organi- zation was represented by Mike Blose, Bob Burris, Patricia Hitch, Sue Fulkerson, and Bob Webb.

The faculty play was given for two reasons: First, in the hope that the citizens of Drumpight might become interested in adult dra- matics and thus start a little theatre movement here, and second, that the National Thespians might have money to purchase much needed furniture and trappings for the stage and dressing rooms, and additional dramatic materials for presentation at assembly programs. So far, approximately fifty dollars has been spent on these projects this year.

The art editors help plan the book and turn it over to the business managers who are responsible for its financial status. Our book is largely financed by advertising.

The duties of the kodak editors are to take pictures which lend a realistic touch of informality to the GUSHER. The sports editors were responsible for the athletic section of your book. As publication deadline draws near, the typists work turi- ously on the written copy and the make-up editors paste in the pictures.

We have been an outstanding class since our entry into D, H. S. in 1947. Not only has the class taken an active part in all school activities and organizations, but it also has produced students out- standing in all fields of endeavor. We face our senior year with mixed emotions - sorrow that we will be leaving faculty, friends, and the school to which we have become deeply attached, yet gladness that we will be fulfilling the ambition of our high school days, commencement, with the promise ofa richer, fuller life for us in the world of tomorrow. An uncertain world, it is true, yet full of hope for all those with a faith such as ours. OFFICERS AND SPONSORS left to right, seated.

Lack of size and exper- ience handicapped our boys when competing against larger and more experienced teams. The boys showed both spirit and determination as the season progressed. Our team consisted mostly of seniors. The loss of boys to the armed services will weaken the Tornadoes for the T951 season. DEAN BASNETT EUGENE CARPENTER C0 C0P'0i'1.
