Sotan HUnuinj Cm t rplfmbrr It's back to school again, with old E. H. S. once more buzzing with gaiety, activity, and excitement. On Sep- tember 2, the familiar doors opened to the steady stream of students—some old, some new—with everyone glad to be baek. It seemed quite impossible that all had advanced a year, and it seemed strange to hove all of those little grccnies” rushing through our halls with hopeless, lost expressions on their faces. We all enjoyed seeing our friends again after the long summer vacation; and, almost before we knew it, the first week had flown by and we were beginning the second. . The most eventful thing about our first week was that, because of the heat, school was dismissed each afternoon. The second week, however, we were not so fortunate and the regular six-hour schedule started for us. Burke Mordy was chosen as the first student Kiwani- an to attend the local club meetings, and to joke and cutup with the jovial members. In fact our own Princi- pal Walter P. Marsh holds membership in this club. F. H. A. girls and F. F. A. boys had a rip roaring good time at their joint watermelon party held September 9. As usual at this time of year, the annual state fair was held, and 19 entries were made by the boys in E. H. S. There were many blue-ribbon winners. All students who attended the fair enjoyed it and, for some time after- ward, were still wearing or carrying around souvenirs and relics which brought back memories of a gala time. On September 22, the annual football queen race began. This was a hot and exciting contest supplemented and made gay by rallies and exhibitions, which the various clubs held in support of their candidates. After the end of an exhausting week, weary members of the clubs eagerly listened for the results of the contest. By an overwhelming majority Mary Elizabeth Morris was elected queen. And did the Pepctts rejoice over this glorious news! Nancy Weed, Squaw candidate, was second; Shirley Rowe, freshman candidate, third; and Billie Penick, independent candidate, fourth. This con- test really boosted the financial resources of the football team. Forumitcs held their first social event on September 27, the occasion being a weiner roast at the sand hills. September really flew fast. And before we knew it, we were at the end of the month looking back with won- derful memories at our first month of school. (Orlnlirr The mighty El Reno Indians did themselves proud when they defeated the Northeast Vikings in an exciting football game, the first game of the season. It was during this month that the funniest looking group of characters came to school one day, wearing the oddest garbs. After a close inspection we discovered, however, that they were only the pledges of the Pcpett and Squaw pep clubs going through one of the phases of becoming a member. The day of days for the Pcpett pledges came on October 2, when the initiation banquet and formal initia- tion were held in E. H. S., with Bernadinc Adams con- ducting the initiation ceremonies, assisted by the Pcpett officers. The next day the new members proudly wore their new Pcpett signs. F. F. A. boys had a big day on October 7, when they initiated a group of Greenlumds. The following day, the Greenhands were barely able to move, but this was con- sidered a trivial matter by F. F. A. ers. B. M. C. members piled into a truck on October 13 and headed for Capitol Hill, where they held their annual celebration for members. A debate clinic held at Norman, October 16-18. found E. H S debaters trying to master the technique of de- bating. Reports about the clinic reveal that a gay old time was had by all in spare moments. What a thriliing day was October 17! For it was then that the powerful Indians gave the Putnam City Pirates a beating and won the coveted Pop Maxwell trophy that is given to the winner of the El Reno-Putnam City game each year. Mary Elizabeth Morris was crowned football queen during the half of this game by Jack Cullcy, co- captain of the football team. The pep clubs and the band made a colorful spectacle as they marched on the field and formed a large heart in honor of the queen. Several days later representatives from Putnam City came over and formally presented us the Pop Maxwell trophy. Everyone had a light heart and a happy face as our own principal led us in school songs and yells at this assembly. Bids were handed out on October 23 by the Bonita Marica Catta and Philalathcan literary societies. The girls were excited, and the happy pledges proudly dis- played their new pledge ribbons. The best band in the state is our own E. H. S. band. On October 25 they came home from Norman with first place honors and a trophy. The next week, the new band uniforms were received and band members were in their ‘ seventh heaven.” Future Homemakers started big plans for the World Christmas Festival, to which E. H. S. students always con- tribute way over the top . Well, what’s this? Yes, it's Burke Mordy’s name in headlines again when he defeated Patsy Bross and Har- lan Hobgood to become El Reno’s disc jockey for broad- casting over station KOMA. During the week preceding the program, we all studied to the tunc of music—some classical, some jazz, some just any kind of music! Then the day came when we chose the tunes we liked best and the ones we wanted Burke to play. Preceding Hallowe’en, the B. M. C.’s held a hayloft party in honor of the new pledges and dates. The group was taken via truck to a farm, where they entered a gaily decorated barn. Apples, apple cider, popcorn, doughnuts, and the likes filled everyone to capacity and a little over too. All forgot their full stomachs when the old haystack out in the pasture suffered a catastrophe by fall- ing in. All in all. the party was loads of fun. Following in line as the second student Kiwanian of the year was Harlan Hobgood, alias Harlan Flopgood . Rehearsals for the all-school play, “Reserve Two foi Murder, were begun, under the direction of Charles W. Overton, who selected the cast. From the sound of things, our curiosity was aroused about the play—but the cast kept still. F. F. A. boys and F. H. A. girls welcomed F. F. A. boys and F. H. A. girls from Yukon and Union City to their Hallowe'en party, held on October 30 in the E. H. S. gymnasium. About 400 boys and girls were present and all had loads of fun. To climax the evening, a movie. Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, was shown. We shall always remember how scared we were when we left the high school. Leaving behind us a month full of fun, we moved into November, looking forward to more fun and activity. Nuurmlirr This was the month of falling leaves and cold weath- er. To start the month, the Squaws initiated their pledges formally on November 3 in the homemaking department of E. H. S. Nancy Weed, president, was in charge of the initiation. Mock initiation was also held, and everyone had a good time. The following day pledges proudly wore their new emblems. Twenty-five pledges lived to tell the tale of the Forum initiation, which was held in the E. H. S. gym- nasium on November 4. On November 7. Mi's. Avant Taylor, senior class sponsor, announced the arrival of offers for four differ- ent scholarships open for graduating seniors. A lively time was enjoyed by the Senate debating society when the group initiated 12 pledges into the club on November 10. On Armistice day, a very inspiring program was presented by Charles W. Overton’s speech class. Miss Helen Martin's vocal music groups, and the band, under the direction of Mclbcrn W. Nixon. (Continued in Club Section)
