Dedication Our Champion Basketball Boys and Coach TO OUR state, regional, and conference champion basketball team and coach, who have pro- vided us with many thrilling moments and happy memories and who have brought honor and glory to El Reno High School, we, the seniors of 1919, dedicate this Boomer-Collegian in deep- est appreciation for all their accomplishments. This “dream team” of ours was a direct res ult of hard work and co-operation on the part of the basketball boys and coach. The best tribute that could be paid to them came from their coach, Jenks Simmons, when he commented, “This is the finest bunch of boys it has ever been my privilege to train.”
