WOOD Superintendent of Schools Although Mr. Wood has many other problems to solve, he still has time for the students of DHS. Many of us seldom have occasion to talk with Mr. Wood, but when we do, we know that he will help us gain our goal and will give us the guid- ance we need. sv ,2 ' h '.!

GREENHA W M' f X I EARL PRESLEY HARVEY GRIFFIN CHARLES SULLIVAN HUBERT BAY F. F. FRENCH DOYLE KING JIM SWOAP BILLY TOM WARD DON HENDRICKS HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 1954 SEASON MUSKOGEE I4 - DUNCAN O Two busloads of Pep Club girls accom- panied the Demons to their first game. The completely untried Duncan backfield didn't seem to have that spark which experience later gave them. Joe Crutchfield broke his finger and Bill Richey hurt his knee early in the first half. DUNCAN I3 - BORGER 0 Looking like a million dollars, the Demons hit the victory trail on the sandy soil of Texas. The Demon line showed the Texans that Oklahoma grows 'em iust a little rough- er and tougher. Monte Thrailkill made the sparkling run of the night, and Bill Richey began to show the polish of a great quar- terback. DUNCAN 20 - SEMINOLE 6 Seminole, which later became the Class A champion of Oklahoma, found the going a little too rough as the Demon line made short work of a fellow called Joseph. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 1954 SEASON ARDMORE 27 - DUNCAN 6 After two consecutive wins, the Demons met Ardmore. The Duncan backfield fumbled too many times, and the line was outcharged badly. The passing of Royce McQueen and the running of Glen Selvidge proved to be too much for the Demons that night. ALTUS 19 - DUNCAN 12 This game will be long remembered for the brilliant goal line drive the Demons made. Even though the films later proved that the ball crossed the goal-line on four occa- sions, the referee failed to recognize the touchdowns and the Demon victory. DUNCAN 27 - EL RENO O For the third consecutive year, the Demons mauled a very good El Reno eleven. Monte Thrailkill had one of his best nights.

Although the field was completely under water, the Demon players had a wonderful time. The Duncan line made mud pies out of the Classen players while the Demon back- field swam for two touchdowns and victory. SHAWNEE 28 - DUNCAN 6 Shawnee's two all-staters, Don Stiller and Floyd Greenfield, had the best night of their careers and the Demons suffered a crushing defeat. DUNCAN 25 - CAPITOL 14 The Demons reached their peak as they downed a cocky Capitol Hill team, later voted the No. l team in the state. Field General Bill Richey called the greatest game of his career, lcontinuedl CHARLES FRANKLIN JOE MACK HOWARD ? Exim' GAYNO SHELTON CURTIS MITCHELL LARRY Hill BILL NEAL JOHN SANNER JAMES MADDUX and the running ot Thrailkill, Kim Carroll, and Larry Hill was superb. The line turned in their finest performance of the year. Larry Dobbs was especially singled out because of the way he handled Benton Ladd, All- State tackle. DUNCAN 33 - CHICKASHA 7 Highly regarded Chickasha was next to fall before the Demon attack. lt was another team win as the Demons had little trouble in this Homecoming game. Jo Anne Walter was crowned Football Queen during the half- time festivities. 1954 A SQUAD tif' g1Yi7T 4 . -- - - X fu l 3 S ...K riiixx fl 'Fil' RONNIE HENDRICKS ROYCE GIROD X955 te-PM X955 VIE us 5 1 VPSXMBPW ix-X94 v.esxMS 3 'oo 101'- 0 1415 15 9082 vi?-rl O?

The lettermen are Grady Frizzell, Charles Prichard, Don Scott, Larry Blake and Arnold Fincher. TENNIS Tennis has been rapidly gaining interest in DHS for the past two years. There is much hope for a cham- pionship team in Duncan in the very near future. The boys' team was composed of two promising freshmen. The girls' team was com- posed of one freshman and three iuniors. Those lettering in tennis this year were Jerry Jones, Pat leonard, Judy Adkins, Barbara Morris, Pat leach, Jack leach, Phil Leon- ard, Will Willis, and Willard Thomas. alma Grady Frizzell, Charles Prichard, Don Scott, Larry Blake, Arnold Fincher Jerry Jones, Pat leonard, Charles Sullivan, Barbara Morris, Judy Adkins.

The Demons were a very weak hitting team until the Regional Tournament at Chickasha. They faced an extremely tough team from Norman in the first round, but shelled five Norman pitchers from the mound as the Demons scored 11 runs. In the second game they met Chickasha and continued to hit the ball well, but were defeated in the 11th inning.

State Champion Four-Man Team: Ronny Moore, Bud Babcock, Bob Richardson, Bill Dunn. 28 The 1954 edition of the golf team proved to be the strongest one in the history of golf in Duncan. Sweeping to their second consecu- tive Oklahoma State Championship, the Demons set new records at almost every turn. State individual champion, Bob Richardson, set a new 18-hole record of 70. Bill Dunn and Richardson won the state two-man title with almost record scores. The DHS four-man team set state rec- ords for 18 holes as they bettered their own record set last year. They also set a new 54- hole record, again bettering their old record by 23 strokes. The four-man team of Richardson, Dunn, Ronny Moore, and Bud Babcock finished the last three years of play unbeaten in a dual match or tournament. For the third consecutive year the Iinksmen won the Boomer Conference. At Fort Worth, the Demons won the four-man, two-man and came in second in the individual race.

VAN LAN DINGHAM VOTED OUTSTANDING PLAYER Robert Vanlandingham and Joe Crutchfield led the Demons to a very good basketball sea- son. The Demons started out with a very mediocre quintet, but as the season developed, the Demons began to work their offensive pattern much better and to score more points per game. The roundballers scored 876 points compared with their opponents' 781 points. School spirit reached its peak during the final game of the year with Norman in the Re- gionals. Although the Demons were defeated, this game was one of the highlights of the sports scene.

The members and their spon- sor are enthusiastic lovers of hunting and fishing and through their club work they learn more about our local wildlife and its protection. They also study lo- cal and state hunting and fish- ing laws and learn to practice rules for safety. The bi-monthly programs have included demonstrations, films, and lectures. These have been given by members of the State Fish and Game Department, lo- cal sportsmen's clubs, and other interested persons. One of the programs this year was a casting demonstra- tion given by Dud Yount and his mother, another was an ar- chery demonstration by Mr. J. E.

During the past year the band performed at all home football games. The band has contributed to the community by participating in civic parades and rallies. The DHS band is noted for its concert playing as well as its marching ability. Together with the vocal music depart- ment, it presented a Christmas concert. Music in the Modern Man- ner was the theme of its an- nual spring concert. The band made an excellent record at the district and state contests. Three soloists received superior and excellent ratings. The theme of the formal spring concert was Music in the Modern Manner. The band opened and closed their program with their theme song, Stairway to the Stars. 4. USM . i z ..,, , W '..,. . ' ra . VA W gb . 'U Ov 'ff -M J. ..

The council won the state secretary-treasurer post and will be host to the State Student Coun- cil convention at Duncan next year. The new publication ticket was the pet project of the council this year. Much hard work by coun- cil members went into this money- saving proiect for the students. Other iobs the council mem- bers completed in fine style were: supervision of the class elections assemblies, March of Dimes, Red Cross and Cancer drives in DHS. The new handbook and the stu- dent directories were produced by council labor.

To encour- age school spirit they held pep rallies and assemblies before each football game. They made three out-of-town football trips and several basket- ball trips. To finance these trips the girls sold mums, pencils and ribbons. The highlight of their social activities was a banquet at which they entertained their dates. The closing social event was a lunch- eon held at the Avalon Cafeteria. At this time the Pep Club awards were presented, and the cheer- leaders for next year were an- nounced. This event completed a successful year. ' - : 'Cl , G ':. ': Siu? 212.5'::.::f'z'::z.:,2z.:33.i15:.:::..':5e:i.2::, Paula Deavenport, Marquetta 0 GS, U 0 ln ' . . .

CLUB CHOIR HUGE SUCCESS The letterman's club is composed of boys who have lettered in any high school sport. Many of the boys have lettered in more than one sport. For relaxation from their strenuous hours of practice, the boys took a trip to Lake Murray this spring. Much of the fine spirit showed by the boys on the field and in the classroom is due to the influence of their coaches. Earl Presley served as head coach assisted by Harvey Griffin, Charles Sul- livan and Hubert Bay. -A vi 'J Jil I FNA BEGINS INITIAL YEAR The Future Nurses of America is one of the newest clubs at DHS. This is its first year. The girls have been very for- tunate because their sponsor has been Mrs. Richard Ellis, the wife of a local doctor. She has been invaluable in their club work and has made true friendships with each of the girls. The members have done com- munity work along the line of their chosen field, nursing. They aided in the Pre-School Health Clinic and have made holiday tray favors for local hospitals. Two of the three senior mem- bers of the FNA plan to make nursing their career. The FNA is certainly one of DHS's up-and-coming clubs.

It's giving a toast to our honored guests And this year it's a real pleasure Because I think you're the best. You are the best and in more ways than one. Working with you has been nice And it's also been fun. l'm glad you studied hard And are about to get through, But when you're gone . . . I know we'II all miss you. Working together has made you The best that's gone through. You surely learned it at home Because your parents cooperate, too. With students and parents working With all the rest . . . It's easy to see why I think you're the best. l've seen classes that were different And others that did just like the rest I thought they were good . . . But really, I think you're the best. Now, I'm not iust saying this Because you're all here today, But do you know what? I actually feel that way. Continue to be the best in all you do. And always remember that we'Il Stay a thousand per cent for you. We're expecting great things of this class of '54 So just make up your minds to be the best . . .

From the day of their appointment in No- vember, members of the annual staff spent many hours of would-be leisure and week- ends compiling the big story of DHS. Holding out until the end of school in order to include all the final activities, the staff spent many long hours in their quarters at 1536 North 'I3th working to meet the deadline. Those last frantic days were spent in cut- ting, typing, sorting, pasting, drawing and nursing tired eyes and aching backs. Due to the fact that the annual staff had no sponsor this year, staff members and edi- tor spent a lot of time gleaning information from instruction books and making decisions. Finally, on June 6, the weary but radiant staff carried their treasure to the publisher. This is the annual staff's big story. -wwf Editor confers with class editors.
