S ally Johnson Helen Barnes Sue Giddeon Joanne O'Kelley Ruth Tippit The city of Drumright sprang up amid the gushers in the oil boom days of 1913. Two years later, in 1915, the high school introduced the first yearbook, which the staff named the Gusher. ln 1939 financial difficul- ties forced temporary suspension of the book, but publication was resumed again in 1940. Many times our book has been recognized as outstanding in the state contests, For the past two years it has rated high nationally. Our aim is to be iudged ALL-AMERICAN.

Standing there since it was presented by the class of 1920, it has been a symbol of our hopes and dreams. To the football and basketball player, it is symbolic of an inward drive to win, a desire to represent his school to the best of his ability. To most of the students, it represents an ambi- tion to attain success in the future through hard work today. To the faculty, it stands for guidance as they instruct their students and watch them take their places as future citizens. This year, 1952-1953, was an eventful year. The inspira- tion symbolized by the statue lingered with the students as they hurried from class to class, went to this meeting or that, or made their own plans for the games and the student mixers. During the fall evenings, the spirit symbolized by the statue motivated high enthusiasm as the pep club gathered outside the gym to build a bonfire and lead the students in a victory rally. As they ambled past the statue in the winter evenings to attend a club meeting or play rehearsal, the students were urged by a spirit of encouragement to do their iob well. The year went quickly for some members of the student body, moreslowly for others. But with the approach of spring, the students began to realize that a spirit of achievement had accompanied them through the year, for they were now leav- ing behind a successful basketball season and a better than average record in almost all other activities. Apparently a spirit of contentment was hovering close, too, for the freshmen were at last accustomed to the high school routine and felt more at ease. The sophomores were happy to realize that they were about to be advanced another year. The juniors were kept busy making plans for the annual iunior-senior banquet. In the meantime, the seniors relaxed as they saw a major task of theirs completed when the Gusher was sent to press. But they didn't have much time for leisure. Within a short time, it was graduation day. When commencement was completed, the seniors, now alumni, left the building with 'the congratula- tory crowd. And the Indian on horseback,with his arms outstretched in a plea for guidance,was left alone in the halls, a symbol of all the fond memories that are carried by the many students and graduates of Drumright High School. -3-
