SEPTEMBER Approximately 550 El Reno High School stu- dents entered a newly decorated school building, September 7. Improvements catching the eyes of the students were the pastel walls in the class- rooms, the cool-looking Venetian blinds, the new floors, and the green chalkboards. Especially appreciated were the attractive new, convenient quarters that had been provided for the band and the art students. New faculty members in E. H. S. this year have been Miss Hope Wood, homemaking; Mrs. Marie Moore, girls’ gym; Max Kirkland, de- bate; Floyd Durham, social science; and Roy K. Smith, mathematics. Henry Jo Von Tungeln served as the first student Kiwanian. The week preceding the opening of school the football boys went to Roman Nose Park to begin their football practice. Coach Jenks Simmons, Jake Land and Roy K. Smith, assistant coaches, accompanied the group. OCTOBER Catherine Reichert, Pepett candidate for 1948 football queen, was crowned at the half- time period of the El Reno-Northeast football game, Friday, October 1. The creative writing class visited South- western Engraving plant, Oklahoma City, to “snoop” around and to view a display of an- nuals. Debate class attended the debate and discussion institute at Norman in hopes of gathering material to use this year. Miss Willa Dean Nicholson and Miss Hope Wood attend- ed the annual meeting of the Oklahoma Home Economics Association in Oklahoma City. Wasps also like to attend school as Miss Rose Witcher found out one day when some wasps took possession of her classroom. As the students couldn’t keep their minds on their studies, a war on wasps was launched, with DDT and brooms as weapons. This was one of those “never a dull moments.” New radiators were late in arriving. On several chilly mornings, teeth chat- tered and it seemed as though icicles were attending class. What a welcome sight those radiators were the day they arrived! Social events this month were enjoyed by several organizations. Squaws and the B. M. C’s both had skating parties. The Phi literary society and the a cap- pella choir enjoyed picnics, while the Senate gave a steak fry. Future Homemakers of America held their annual initiation—this time for 59 members, a record number.
