El Reno High School - Boomer Yearbook (El Reno, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1943 volume:

ALMA MATER Far out on the western prairie, Standing plain to view, Is our dear El Reno High School, Towering toward the blue. CHORUS Hail! All hail! Our Alma Mater! Hail! El Reno High! We bear thee a love so fervent It shall never die. In her halls we’ve toiled and struggled, Many tasks begun, And for her, our Alina Mater, Many victories won. Greet we, then, our foster mother, Noble friend so true; As we strive in world and college, Still we’ll think of you. TO THE READER $ This, the 1943 edition of the Boomer-Collegian, has very appropriately been designed to record the accomplishments and the progress that El Reno High School and Junior College have made toward production for victory. Never before in the history of our school have the students been called upon so often to render service, and they have answered the calls. They have started the school Wheels of Production rolling, and their aim is to keep these wheels rolling until a final victory for democracy is won. To us, the 1943 Boomer-Collegian is not just another yearbook. It is a record of deeds, both great and small, that have been per- formed by the faculty and students, a tribute to all the graduates and former stu- dents now in the armed ser- vices of their country, and a memorial for those who have given their lives for their country.

McGINLEY Member The Board of Education of the El Ileno City Schools is composed of men who set patterns in fine citizen- ship and devotion to the public welfare. They give unselfishly of their time and energies in the service of the youth of El Reno. It is their ambition, in cooperation with the school patrons of the community, to make their school system function with maximum efficiency. The one criterion applied by them to every proposal affecting the schools is this: Will it improve educational opportunity for our boys and girls? It is their purpose to make every school dollar expended yield full educational returns to the community they serve. Our city views with pride the accomplishments and the high standards of the men who compose its Board of Education. MR. J. A. RINEHART Attorney MRS. C. S. MacSWAIN MR. WALTER WILSON Treasurer Clerk ADMINISTRATION Director of the Wheels of Production in the El Reno city schools is Superintendent Paul R. Taylor, who has kept the school pro duction lines rolling smoothly and swiftly for the past eight years. Admired and respected by faculty members and students, Mr. Taylor inspires those with whom he works by both example and word to render the greatest possible amount of efficient service to their country. Among his numerous activities this year has been that of serving as state chairman of the Schools- at-War program, Oklahoma War Savings Staff. His is the wisdom, the foresight, and the spirit of cooperation that keep the wheels rolling ever on toward a better tomorrow. SUPERINTENDENT PAUL R. TAYLOR A. B., M. S., Oklahoma A. and M.

Marsh is head foreman of the El Reno High School production line. Under his directing hand, students are encouraged to master the art of figuring accurately, of spell ing correctly, and of working harmoniously with one another. Graduates returning to El Reno High School, most of them now in the service of their country, go directly to his office— evidence that they appreciate the lessons of fair play, consid oration for others, and interest in the welfare of all that he held up before them when they were in high school—ideas for which they are now fighting.

History is in the making. No living person can escape the impact of the strug- gle and no worthy person desires to be outside its orbit. It is a fight to Uie finish between those who believe in the rights of man and those who do not. There will be only one answer to the struggle: Certain victory for our side because if is the right side. Once upon a time, a man fashioned the first wheel and thereby changed the current of human existence. Faster and yet faster, man has traveled on wheels of his own designing. He has used them to roll ruthlessly over the prostrate forms of the helpless: he has used them to bear him swiftly on errands of sweet mercy. They can be har- nessed to do evil or good. In this hour, decent humanity has set in motion its vast machinery to crush forever, by sheer force, a tyranny that threatened to engulf the world. The wheels are rolling as the power of America impels them onward. It is your privilege and mine, in the armed forces and as civilians, to be identified with the machine that is America. It is mighty and it shall prevail! We cannot stop; we cannot turn aside; we cannot falter until this war is won. With a singleness of purpose and an unfaltering trust in God who has “. . sounded forth the trumpet That shall never call retreat, let us go forward together, marching and striving as one, to victory and through victory to an abiding peace among men.

McGill CLASS HISTORY I4 OUR years ago a group of wide-eyed, bewildered fresh- men entered the halls of El Reno High School to explore the mysteries of science and mathematics, to thrill to the beauties of music and art, and to learn more of the me- chanics of reading and. writing, little knowing what vast world changes would come, how rapidly the wheels of pro- duction would turn, and what challenges would be thrown out to them before they left the portals of their alma mater as graduates. During the sophomore year, this class first disclosed the dramatic abilities of many of its members by present- ing the play. Don’t Ever Grow Up. Leaders this year were Bobby Leo Morrison, president: Mary Jane Waldron, vice president: Iris Jean Sheets, secretary: and Marjorie Perkins, treasurer. In the junior year, the members of the class again displayed their dramatic talent in Pride and Prejudice. Aware of the fact that the wheels of production for victory were gaining momentum, they entertained the seniors at a junior-senior banquet, featuring the patriotic motif. Once more Bobby Lee Morrison headed the ever-ready and willing class, assisted by Marjorie Perkins, vice presi- dent, Mary Jane Waldron, secretary, and Leslie Roblyer. treasurer. And then came the senior year. Seniors of 1943, main spokes in El Reno High School’s wheels of production, com- bined their talents in an all-out effort to further the in- terests of their high school and to do their part to achieve ultimate victory for their country. Each radiated pride in his personal attainments on the production line. All gave generously of their time and energy to keep th' great war machine of the United States rolling, by buildin« stronger bodies through participation in sports and in commando training, by striving with renewed diligence for higher scholastic marks, and by ever learning new wavs to con- serve the material resources so necessary in the war effort. The seniors began the real task of living on May 17. after they walked across the stage in their caps and gowns and received their diplomas. Theirs is now a new world, in which each will take his place where he is mo;t needed But as they go out to meet the tasks that lie ahead, mem- ories of their achievements along the production line in El Reno High School will linger through the years to come.

PORTER MISS MAY SHANKLIN Dean Sponsor THE JUNIOR COLLEGE PROGRAM The El Reno Junior College, in this time of war. is doing its part to give the young people of the com- munity an opportunity to gain an education, with which they can fight for the very ideals which they have been taught. Being a smaller school, the instructors have a per- sonal interest in each student and special emphasis is placed on problems confronting the young people of to- day. The student body of the Junior College carries on its business in a truly democratic form with officers elected to head the student organization. These officers in turn plan the student activities and act as a medium between the faculty and the students. A spirit of co-operation brings the student body to- gether both in curricular and extra-curricular activi- ties. with all students working together to build a machine in which the cogs turn together. f.€.

The officers of the club were chosen early in Septem- ber. when the first meeting was held in the home of Miss Nellie Marie Shultz. Girls elected to be officers of the club were Miss Louise Spears, president; Miss Nellie Marie Shultz, vice-president; Miss Doris Roundtree, secretary; Miss Lillie Mae Schumacher, treasurer; Miss Helen Ruth Seamands, reporter; and Miss Mary Anne Detention, ser- geant-at-arms. Miss Anne Noble was selected by the members to sponsor the club for the second year. The reception given by the members of the club for the freshmen girls of the Junior College was the first social event of the year. Motion pictures of several western states were enjoyed when Miss Shir Lee Henderson enter- tained the club at her home at Fort Reno. Miss Lxmise Spears was hostess for the annual Christmas exchange and party. One of the most extraordinary meetings of the term was held in the home of Miss Helen Ruth Seamands. where each member was amazed by the fortunes that were told by the hostess’ mother. Due to war-time conditions, the group did not make a trip to Oklahoma City to see a stage play but had a dinner and attended a local theater. 1.

The establishment of the college was brought about by a petition signed by parents of a number of high school graduates living in El Reno. A governing body was ap- pointed with Mr. Paul R. Taylor, president: Mr. Walter P. Marsh, vice-president: and Mr. Ray P. Porter, dean of the college. The college was located in the El Reno High School and was formally opened in September, 1938. Sev- eral years of planning were finally a reality, with fifty-five students. This first student body showed initiative and enthusiasm. With 1933, the second year of college openeJ in El Reno, and the student body had grown to sixty-nine. In the spring of that school year, 1940, the first graduating class had eight members. In the fall of 1940. the college re-opened with the high- est enrollment in its young history, ninety-nine students. Civilian Pilot Training was inaugurated and approved by the United States Civil Aeronautics Authority. Of the men in that graduating class for Civilian Pilot Training, five are now commissioned officers of the United States Army Air Corps. With he war near and increased employment being evident, tne enrollment decreased noticeably in 1941. Fol- lowing December 7, enlistments in the armed forces dug deeply into the ranks of the male enrollees of the college. This year saw special emphasis placed on terminal curricula for those students who would go no further than the junior college with formal education. A work experience program came into being this year, giving experience for those en- rolled in skills training courses in the college. 1942 saw only nine men on the rolls and, with the passing of the year, only four have finished. Two of these four are in the Army Enlisted Reserve. In 1939, the college was approved by the State Depart- ment of Education, becoming a full-fledged college insti- tution. The El Reno Junior College has always been on the list of approved institutions of the University of Okla- homa and the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Col- lege. College publications include a yearly bulletin and an annual. The first annual appeared in 1938, under the name of the Collegiati. Incidentally, this made El Reno Junior College the ony municipal junior college in Oklahoma to publish an annual. In the past years, there has also been a publication called College Quips, but this year it was discontinued. Student assemblies and meetings are held occasionally, when all students are expected to attend. Students have found ample time and opportunity for developing extra- curricular social activities, also. Students elect officers from the student body, who co-operate with the faculty and the dean, Mr. Porter, in carrying on wholesome and beneficial activities for the majority of the students. The Tes Trams, girls’ social organization, is open to all girls of average and high scholarship in the college. Delpha Alpha Iota, which was the first boys’ social club, was formed in 1938. The Kappa Beta Pi. boys’ social organization, was organized in 1939 to accommodate the increased enrollment of men stu- dents. A basketball team was organized in 1938. It was nam- ed the Chieftains by the student organization. The coach of the team was Mr. C. R. Horton, and the team played under the colors of blue and silver. Most of the games played in 1938 were with colleges in western Oklahoma. The final tally showed the Chieftains winners of three games and losers of six. In 1939, the college became a member of the State Municipal Junior College Athletic As- sociation and of the Mistletoe Conference. The Chieftains’ record was one win. and nine losses that year. 1940 saw the Chieftains in second place in the Mistletoe Conference. They also won the consolation bracket in the state basket- ball tournament. A wealth of opportunities has been offered for develop- ment of forensic qualities in members of the college. Under the able direction of Miss Lucille Hicks, in 1940. the El Reno Junior College debate team placed second in the na- tional tournament at Charlottesville, North Carolina, and won the Oklahoma state championship. From a vantage point, inaccessible to any but students in the college, we can see that attending El Reno Junior College has been very valuable for many alumni who might never have gone on to a formal college education had it not been for the junior college. Many alumni have gone into the armed forces, where they have received commissions as officers, while others are at work in other organizations and businesses, but all are doing their part to help build a greater America and to keep the wheels turning for a quick victory for their country and its allies. COGS THANKFULNESS We in America seem to take too much for granted, at least that seems to be the case with me. As I sat down to think over the things I have to be thankful for, I looked at the lessons to be learned, that dress to be made, the dishes to be washed, and I couldn't see very much to be thankful for. Suddenly a news flash came on the radio and it brought vividly to my mind the state of the world today and I readily changed my ideas. Just think of the multitude of things I have to be thankful for. I have a home, my parents and my sister with me. I have plenty to eat and to wear, I have no fear of freezing to death, and I am not alarmed by the wail of a siren warning me of an air raid. Bombs are not, as yet anyway, destroying the places and people I love. I am sure that as long as others like me praise these treasures with thanksgiving, we who must stay here in America will not be compelled to endure such horrors. But, most of all, I am thankful for my most precious possession—freedom. I don't have to “Heil Hitler”, or bow to any power-crazed maniac. I am. free to speak, to wor- ship, and to act as I please so long as I do so within the limits of conscience and common sense.—B. B. BEAUTY AND IMAGINATION In writing a theme I am free to put down on paper the thoughts I have that are begging to be expressed—my opinion about various topics, my chance to tell of my im- pressions of the beauties around me. I say the beauties around me because I do not like to write about ugly things. I do not mean, however, that I try not to acknowl- edge the ugly and unpleasant things, because I know that they are there and have to be faced: but I don’t like to emphasize them any more than they have to be. Imagination is a theme. When an artist creates a pic- ture. he has first imagined it in his mind's eye. His thoughts are a theme. He then proceeds to paint a picture, a picture of that theme. Often when I see something beautiful I write a theme about it on the tablet of my mind. Writing this kind of theme helps me to enjoy nature’s lovely pictures to the fullest.—M. Af. HAPPINESS If you don’t enjoy life now you never will.” What is happiness anyway? I would say happiness is making the most of what you have and being able to enjoy We have often heard it said that our high school and college days are among the happiest in our lives. We who are in college now perhaps don’t realize that. W are always wanting what we don’t possess or wishing something to be changed. The war has brought many changes into our lives. It has taken away many of the enjoyments and privileges of our generation. But didn't our Mothers and Fathers have the same problem just one generation back? It isn’t our fault or the fault of our forefathers. It just happened, and we must make the most of the situa- tion. We must grasp what happiness is given to us.—E. T. REGRETS I have been a waster of time. I have squandered the most valuable of all precious things. I have tossed to the the four winds the unrecoverable element. I have been a procrastinator. Spare moments are the gold dust of time.” I am filled with remorse as I recall the scandalous amount of Old Father Time’s “gold dust I have scattered heedlessly as I have trod life’s path. I am astounded as I calculate the number of twenty-four hour periods which could be made of the hours I have sat in idleness through- out the past year, hours when I sat and longed for time to pass. Time has passed—passed and left no reminder of its visit. I am ashamed and humbled- before God that I have wasted His most useful gift. I shall be punished, for surely such squandering can not be allowed in a world so poor. I shall be despised by those who use their allotted time and long for more. I shall be scoffed and scorned as one who knows not value. Unless—unless I can wrestle from forthcoming hours some- thing of that which I have let slip by. I must use each moment given to me to accomplish that which is meant to be accomplished in the life of the moment, plus that which was meant to be accomplished in moments long gone by. 1 am behind Time.

Funk IN APPRECIATION I-IKE a strong, patient mother, El Reno High School stands on the broad acres of Oklahoma waiting for her sons to return. Each morning as a blaring bugle resounds through the corridors and the flag is raised, the minds of El Reno students turn toward the many fronts where the alumni of E. H. S. are engaged in conflict. A feeling of deep pride and admiration for their heroic deeds an! for their sacrifices then steals over the school. Yes. alumni, we know about your bravery and your accomplishments. We know about Bataan and Corregid r. We know about Tunisia. There is a feeling of mixed joy and wonder when we realize that you once sat at the desks where we now s t and that you walked in the halls where we now walk. Once you were an integral part of El Reno High School. Now you are an integral part of a great nation at war. El Reno High School is proud of her soils who have unselfishly answered the call of duty and are carrying the l fty ideals of this school and this nation to the four corners of the earth. Some of our boys have fallen. Amid the booming of cannon and the shrill screaming of bombs, they have gone out to the Great Command-r-in-Chief. We know that the sta:s stand as silent witnesses of their courage and that r surging life in the spring declares that these boys have journey d to a land somewhere in the beyond, in which they have found the peace and fraternity they failed to find on earth.

This flag has 600 odd stars, representing the graduates and former students of El Reno High School now in the service of their country. The service flag, purchased by the students of the high school in the spring of 1942. as a Students Association project, was dedicated at an assembly given on May 18. 1942. as an expression of appreciation to the mothers of the El Reno High School boys then serving their country. Since many more boys joined some branch of the ser- vice during the summer months and the early part of this school year, the flag was not large enough for all the stars. In a mast inspirational assembly in February, the students voluntarily and spontaneously contributed to a fund for enlarging the flag. The 9x12 flag, double its former size, now has adequate room for all the stars. Among the dozens of white stars, there are seven gold ones for the seven El Reno High School men who have given their lives for their country. The enlarged flag was re-dedicated on March 12. 1943. and now hangs in the prominent place in the El Reno High School auditorium. The temperature on this unusual thermometer is rising and will continue to rise, for this thermometer reg- isters the amount of war stamps and bonds purchased by the students in El Reno High School. To help scrap the Axis the students of El Reno High School united in collecting all the scrap they could find. “Oh! Say can you see the Stag-Spangled Banner waving over the campus of our school. Every morning Old Glory is raised to the sound of the bugle. The scrap collected by high school students had a double duty. The scrap went to build ships and tanks, and the $119.78 the high school received for the scrap was given to the Red Cross. This scrapbook is a record of all the activities in which El Reno High school has engaged in order to help in the war effort. Every student had a part in making this record, even if it was only the purchase of one war stamp. Come early and avoid the rush. The students of E. H. S. are more than 90 per cent in the purchase of war stamps and bonds. At Hitler’s birthday party, April 20. $2002.75 was invested in stamps and bonds within two hours time. Victory through conserving! These girls arc learn- ing new and easier ways of preparing attractive and healthful meals. “Building for Victory! These boys are learning to do a man-sized job—the job of building—building tobies today—building bridges tomorrow. Girls in El Reno High School wish to “Keep ’em smiling.” They help to do this by making cookies and donating them to the Red Cross canteen, where they are given to our servicemen. Save! Conserve! These arc the key words of this sew- ing class—a class that is learning to keep in fashion even while saving by remaking old clothes. Future American builders—builders of planes and ships—are now learning to read blueprints. These boys have made model airplanes, which have been sent to government stations to be used to teach air corps cadets to identify different types of planes. i Thirty-seven dollars was presented to Mi's. L. A. Garner, executive secretary of the Canadian county chap- ter of the American Red Cross. This money represented the proceeds of the Forum-Senate donkey softball game. “Take me out to the ball game, particularly when it’s a donkey softball game, sponsored by the Senate and Forum debating societies. Workers for Victory! These girls helped to collect 475 pounds of fats and prepared them to be turned over to the government. These boys arc actually assisting farmers who are short on help to care for their land and cattle. “Want to buy a ticket? Pcpetts and Squaws assist- ed in selling tickets for a number of benefit basketball games. Keep ’em happy” with scrapbooks and magazines. These scrapbooks and magizines will be sent to army and navy hospitals for our servicemen there. A new course, added primarily to speed victory, is the machines course, a study of the fundamentals of ma- chinery. That’s a B-17. “Over here is a pursuit ship.” That’s the kind of class discussion that was carried on in the aeronautics class when the members took up the study of airplane identification. Learning to navigate a straight and accurate course is the job these boys are mastering in aeronautics. A change has been made in the type of work done in physics this year. The students arc learning more about war machinery and war materials. Lavoisicrs in the making! These are chemistry stu- dents who are learning how much our civilization de- pends upon chemistry. The shortest way to Guadalcanal is through Alaska This is just one of the many interesting and vital facts that the aeronautics class learned while studying naviga- tion. Our country gentleman.

BASKETBALL REVIEW El RENO basketballers, in their scheduled games this season, won 11 out of the 18 games they played. They were defeated by the Bethany Broncos, 26-23. in the local gym, and 29-23. in the victors gym. The Putnam City Pirates then paid a visit to the Indian gym and went home nursing a 33-23 defeat. This marked the first victory for the Tribe. Three days later, on Friday evening, the boys from Classen came over and trudged home on the short end of a 36-31 count. Along came the Duncan Demons, next; but they didn’t live up to their names as the local cagers pinned a 45-29 defeat on them. This was too good to last, however, and the Plainsmen of Enid beat the Indians at Enid, 44-20. The Indians then fought off the Northeast Vikings. 36-26. in the local gym. Another Oklahoma City team was turned back at the hands of the Indians, when the Central Cardinals came out on the short end of a 28-21 count. The Capitol Hill Redskins ( hot shots ) then took a game from the Indians by the score of 44-22. The Indians next paid Northeast a visit and came out winners. 28-26. Along came Pryor and company (Capitol Hill) again. It was 37-24 this time in favor of the wrong team. Next, the local cagers won over Norman Tigers. 35-22. They then nosed out the Chicks of Chickasha, 30-28, in the local gym. To add another victory to their winning streak, the Indians defeated the Comets of Classen, 28-22, in the “most brutal” battle of the whole season. Two days later, on Thursday night, the local maple floor stompers could not hold the Chickasha Chicks down and came home on the small end of a 27-20 count. The Indians then traveled to Oklahoma City the fol- lowing Tuesday night to win from Central Cardinals, 36-35. This was one of the most thrilling games of the season. At the last home shindig of the season, the quintet’s rally nearly downed the mighty Enid Plainsmen. Numerous fouls were called in the game, and the Indians just could not make a large enough score to turn back the 1943 state champions. However, the Enidites went home with a scant 28-26 win tucked under their belts. In the final game of the season, the Norman Tigers were halted by a score of 31-29. In the regionals, the Indian five conquered Edmond. 34-26, and defeated Central by a score of 38-28, before los- ing to Capitol Hill in the finals, 43-19. The captain. Jack Roblyer. and the whole team deserve congratulations for their fine performance during the season, and E. H. S. wishes all of them success in the future. S% i T rTTcu Nr V_ a v � y c. s L.Pob lye FOOTBALL NOTES I HIS year's football season has marked an epoch in the history of football in El Reno. The Tribe, under the skill- ful tutelage of Coach Jenks Simmons, won six out of eight games for an average of .775. The smooth-working team also produced an all-state selection in J. I). Roland, half- back and co-captain. Gordon Brown and J. L. Barry served as the other captains. In the opening kickoff, the Warriors met the Clinton Tornadoes and were stunned by a score cf 12-7. The Indians outplayed the Tornadoes all evening, bi t the Tornadoes cashed in on two breaks in the game to win. When the final gun went off, El Reno was on the Clinton 1-foot line. Two weeks later, after rigorous drilling, the Indians blew into Kingfisher, and trampled the Yellowjacki ts 47-0. Boys making touchdowns in the walkaway wore Norman Sybert, end: Bill Jennan, substitute back; Elmo Hulbert. tackle; J. L. Barry and J. D. Roland, backs. The Indians, in a winning spree, lan over the highly touted Chickasha Chicks, on the local gridiron. 20-7. J. D. Roland was the standout on this occasion, thrilling the crowd by his long downfield punts. He also made two of the three touchdowns and all three conversions. This game marked the first Boomer conference tilt of the season. The following week, in another non-conference fracas, the Weatherford Eagles fell before the Indians’ barrage, 7-0. The lone tally was marked when Gene Wilkerson blocked a punt, and J. L. Barry scooped it up and scampered 40 yards to pay dirt. In the next conference battle, with Lawton, the War- riors were defeated because of lack of speed. During the first half the Wolverines were stopped cold in their tracks, but the second halt was a different story. Two well-placed passes by two of the Lawton men set the Indians back on their haunches, 13-0. The pigskin eleven, the following Friday, demoralized the Duncan Demons, 14-13, in a tooth and nail fight all evening. The highlight of the game was a pass from Calvin Strate to J. D. Roland, who galloped CO yards for a touch- down. The coronation ceremony lor the football queen, Jeanne Allison, took place at the naif. Next on the Warrior’s list was a non-conference battle with Yukon. The Millers were soundly drubbed, 26-0. Three touchdowns were made in the first half the first an end sweep by Hugh Wilson; the second resulted from a blocked punt, on which Kenneth Quimby fell; and the third plunged over by Roland. The last touchdown, in the third quarter, was made by Weldon Smith. The last game of the season took place with Anadarko, the following Friday afternoon. The Anadarko boys were no match for the Indians as the score, 34-0, indicates. The combination of Roland's passing and Jack Roblyei’s receiv- ing wa$ the main cause of Anadarko’s downfall. The Indians should be very proud of themselves for winning four out of five Boomer conference games fo. second place in the conference. All E. H. S. wishes the graduating athleLs luck in their careers as servicemen. .. in—— mmmmm tr mmmm mu ■« FOOTBALL S C H ED U L E Sept. 12 There 19 There Oct. 3 Here 1� There 24 Here Nov. 14 Here 21 Here 28 Here El Reno 7 El Reno 47 El Reno 20 El Reno 7 El Reno 0 El Reno 14 El Reno 26 El Reno 34 Total points 155 •Boomer Conference Games Clinton 12 Kingfisher 0 •Chickasha 7 Weatherford 0 ♦Lawton 13 •Duncan 18 Yukon 0 •Anadarko 0 45 .......... ...... .........� ' � '� � .

SQUAWS AS WE WENT ROLLING ALONG SEPTEMBER: Well, here ’tis time to oil up the wheels of old E. 11. S. nnd start this brand-new school year rolling. The boys have started out in high with the commando train- ing they are getting in gym. The entire building was va- cated within 77 seconds in the first fire drill of the current school year. Enthusiasm greeted the spe- cial program of war pictures we saw at a local theatre. Class rings featuring Indian heads on the sides were chosen by the seniore. OCTOBER: The huge scrap pile on the campus claimed everybody's at- tention for several days. Those monstrosities you see are only pledges—it’s pledge week. Isn’t it wonderful to get to sleep fifteen minutes later every morning? A record crowd at the first home football game left more or less permanent bulges in the stadium. American Red Cross received $37 and spectatore many good laughs from the donkey softball game sponsored by the Senate and Forum debating societies. Incidentally, the players wore hats for purposes of identity. NOVEMBER: E. H. S. was all in a dither over the three charming football queen candidates—Jeanne Allison, Constance Poor, and Ruth Birlcw. Jeanne, Pepctt nominee, came out in the lead and made a royal queen indeed. Study and then more study was the topic of conversa- tion for this week—National Education week. Besides “stuffing” on Thanksgiving day, we wandered out to the football stadium and watched our Indians defeat the Anadarko Warriors. Some of us even succeeded in sunburning our noses. “Why, that looks like----’’ could be heard as students leafed through the collection of old annuals being assembled by the creative writing class. DECEMBER: What’s up? Bet the seniors arc having their pictures taken for the Boomer ’cause all the boys are wearing coats and ties. Graduation announcements have been selected by the seniors. Quite attractive, we’d say. E. H. S. fairly burst its buttons when J. D. Roland was chosen for the all-state football team of Oklahoma. On December 7. the first anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, a very effective assembly program was given, paying tribute to the graduates of El Reno High School who have given their lives in line of duty. Basketball season has begun with promising results. By the by. the all-school play, “Inside the Lines,” rolled over the top in a big way. Santa Claus must have dropped his bag, we mused, as we gazed at the assortment of colorful packages on the stage. But no, it seems that E. H. S. students are sending Christmas presents to the Red Cross canteen to make some servicemen feel more at home on Christmas day. Something new has been add'd in the west corridor m the form of a red. while, and blue thermometer, on which to register war stamps and bonds sales. JANUARY: Quantities of midnight oil were consumed as every- body settled down to that last minute cramming” for sem- ester exams—with the seniors biting their fingernails over the arithmetic reviews. Oh! That glorious feeling we experienced when our Indians dimmed the Classen Comets, 36-31, in our own gym! “The Nifty Shop,” the homemaking department oper- etta, gave the lasses of E. H. S. a unique opportunity to view the up ’n coming cotton styles. Students came gallantly forward with their contribu- tions for the March of Dimes to keep our health wheels rolling in the right direction. FEBRUARY: Patriotism was the main spoke of our wheel more than ever this month. An entire edition of the newspaper was de- voted to E. H. S.’s war activities. llomemaking stu- dents are knitting for the Red Cress. On February 14. Dan Cupid traveled about and shot a few arrows at some of our unsuspecting folk. On the whole, though, the little fellow has been quite busy all year. This month saw the students and facul- ty industriously toil- ing on our Schools- at - War scrapbook. Newspaper clip- pings, graphs, snapshots, and art work arc included in this handsome record of our war activities. Hideous and “frightful mildly describe the popular burr haircuts. EL RENO HIGH SCHOOL BAND A new director, Mr. Leo C. Murray, took charge of the El Reno High School band this year, with many ideas and plans for a successful year. The band began its numerous activities by playing at the football games and performing clever drills between halves. Flag twirlers were instituted this year and were certainly an attraction at the games. The band added much to the pep assemblies, and the special band played for all home basketball games. The band played for several benefit programs during the year. These included the donkey softball game, the Armistice Day program, and the junior play, proceeds of which went to the Red Cross. The group also played for the largest crowd El Reno High School has seen in a long while, the one that gathered to welcome Lieutenant Colonel Charles Clark Kegclman home. Governor Robert S. Kerr and the first lady were also present for this program. Highlighting the year’s activities was the third annual band coronation concert on April 2. when Lois Williams was crowned the Band Queen of 1943 by Kenneth Proctor, drum major and president of the band. The attendants and escorts were Jackie Whinery, Dorothy Shumate, George Cullers, and Leslie Roblyer. Officers of the band for 1943 include Kenneth Proctor, president and drum major; Darrel Lord, vice president: Gene Cannon, secretary-treasurer; and Bob Modrall, stu- dent director. TWIRLERS — Gcorgann Guth. Patty Penwright, Pat Farley, Marjorie Perkins, Constance Poor, Kathryn Hurst. VOCAL MUSIC DEPARTMENT Vocal music department of El Reno High School began the year with the determination of finding its place in the war effort. Among its many projects, it chose to train student song leaders to lead singing on various occasions. One of the first songs the music groups learned was the patriotic, Ode to America”, in which Mary Helen Marsh took the solo. They gave this number on many programs. The yule season was made more Christmasy when the choral club and choruses prepared and gave their annual Christmas concert. Two of the numbers on the concert were the Hallelujah Chorus” from “The Messiah and the ever lovely Ave Maria.” band accompaniment. These numbers were Angels of Mercy”, Beautiful Dreamer , and a patriotic prayer, God Bless Our Land . The choral club also served as a choir for the pre-Easter school assembly services. Prominent in the music department this year was the girls trio, composed of Loretta Forquer, Constance Poor, and Betty Jean Jackson. Outstanding soloists have been Charlotte Linville. Betty Jean Jackson, Mary Helen Marsh. Mike Crowley. Beth Bakewell. who. although not a member of the music department, assisted many times, and Richard Carter, who left for college the second semester. Philip Higginbotham and Leon Smith, both junior boys, appeared several times as piano soloists. In the spring, the choral club assisted with the band coronation concert. The group sang three numbers, with Ethel Rugg and Elizabeth Johnson served as accom- panists for the choral groups during the year. GIRLS CHORAL CLUB THIRD-HOUR GIRLS GLEE CLUB Well!

They have decided that the ideal airplane would have: A dynamo like Bob Davis’ A glide like Carl Little’s A fuselage like George Cullers' A prank shaft like Max Clark’s A radio like Leon Smith’s A wing span like Norman Sybert’s A computer like Leslie Roblyer’s A beacon like Kenneth Taylor’s A stabilizer like Walter Knoblock’s •Poelic license. :: :: PATTERSON DRUG CO.

The Future Homemakers of Oklahoma, with the help of the homemaking students, collected -475 pounds of fat for the war effort. Finis the basketball season. Dame Hilarity reigned at the presentation of the junior class play. The Very Light Brigade. Incidentally, a bou- qUet should be given to the juniors for donating the pro- ceeds of the night performance to the American Red Cross. Principal Walter P. Marsh’s trip to Washington is a favorite topic of conversation. APRIL: Well, we didn't have to come to school today—April Fool! At last El Reno Hi has crowned a blond band queen. Lois Williams, at its annual band coronation concert. The absence of senior boys that certain morning was caused by the army-navy tests they were taking. Those Senators and Forumites have boon at it again and in a debate worth remembering. Oh, yes, the Forum won by a 2 to 1 decision. Charlotte Linville set an enviable record when she passed a five-minute shorthand test at 140 words a minute. MAY: As the wheels of El Reno Hi roll on into the last month of the School year, we find that the green of the freshmen has paled, the sophomores have added some to their stature and knowledge, the juniors are practically ready to assume the duties of the seniors, and the ranks of the seniors have thinned as some of the boys have gone to serve Uncle Sam and the rest of the sen- iors have acquired that ex- tra dignity that marks the graduate. Distinction of being the babies of the class of 1943 went to Lila Hopkins and Alfred Hofmann. The Little Foxes,” the senior class play, lived up to the tradition of being the dramatic hit” of the year and will be remembered in the years to come. “Streamlined” was the word for the junior-senior banquet this year—conserv- ing for the war effort was the reason, you know. Mary Jane Waldron. Dor- tha Ellerd. and Leslie Roblyer tied for highest scholastic honors in the class, with Betty Moore Dennis as a very close second. The very last turns of the wheels came for the seniors at the commencement service, on class day. and at the graduation exercises on that night when we thought of the four years spent in our dear Alma Mater and then walked across the platform to receive that coveted diploma. Jt A GLANCE AT '63 As the wheels of time roll by twenty years we find th.it our alma mater and her alumni have changed. Some of the current chit-chat then may be as follows: Miss Lois Stephens has assumed the position of dramat- ics instructor in E. H. S. • A true salt.
