Text from Pages 1 - 110 of the 1951 volume:

Edited By Members Of Creative Writing Class El Reno High School And College Staff — El Reno College El Reno, Oklahoma PRIVATE ROBERT MORSE Jht Utrmoriam Approximately 275 graduates and former students of El Reno High School are now in the service of their country. Among the number of those who have served in Korea was Private Robert Morse, EHS’s only gold star man, to date, in the present emergency. Robert did his duty as he saw it, and on January 10, 1951, at the age of 18, he made the supreme sacrifice. El Reno High School students, who will never forget Robert, wish to pay tribute to him as a brave and true soldier, who loved freedom more than his life. Gontents Administration and Faculty Classes Fine Arts Organizations Athletics Features College page two Foreword a standing far out on the western prairie, has been the background against which we have laughed, played, toiled and struggled during the school year of 1950-51. Our highschool experiences have varied from classroom study, and music and speech programs to the excitement of athletic events and club entertainments—all of which are recorded in this yearbook. Through the years we shall, time and again, look through this annual and recall with wistful smiles this happy year spent in dear old EHS. Dedication The lives of all of us are enriched by our associa- tions with those who love us and with those whom we love. This is especially true in the case of our faculty members. Among these is a teacher whose devotion to her task of molding our lives, whose careful considera- tion of all our problems, whose joy in our successes, and whose ever willingness to help us have endeared her to us. To you, Miss May Shanklin, we the grad- uates of 1951 dedicate this Boomer-Collegian with all the love and respect our hearts hold for you. May happiness always be yours. MISS MAY SHANKLIN page three INDUSTRIAL ARTS BUILDING ADMINISTRATION BUILDING page four Mr. M. A. Mitchell, Jr. Registrar Hoard of Education MR. J. M. BURGE MR. STEVE LUCUS MR. L. E. HALE MR. RUPERT FOGG MR. MARION WATSON President Vice President Member Member Member The El Reno Board of Education has been named one of America’s outstanding school boards in a poll of state superintendents, state school board officers and professors of school administration. This distinction was announced through the Department of Education of Col- umbia University, New York. As such, it has been asked to describe and identify practices in use that make it exceptionally strong. Board of Education members receive no salary. They work for the joy of the working and because they believe that education offers us our chief hope for the survival of our dem- ocratic institutions. During the school year 1950-51, the following officers and members served on the El Reno Board of Education: Mr. J. M. Burge, president; Mr. Steve Lucus, vice president; Mr. Leonard E. Hale, Mr. Rupert M. Fogg and Mr. Marion Watson, members. Mr. Lucus is sen- ior member of the Board in point of service, having served continuously since 1941. Mr. Burge became a member of the Board in 1942, Mr. Hale in 1945, Mr. Fogg in 1946, and Mr. Watson in 1951. In their private lives these men set a splendid example for young people. Their willing- ness to work for the public welfare without personal reward or glory is in itself an example to youth. page six V MR. PAUL R. TAYLOR A. B., M. S. Superintendent During his sixteen years of service in El Reno, Superintendent Paul R. Taylor has not only gained for himself the respect and friendship of those who know him, but he has also become well-known as an inspirational speaker and a lead- ing school official in Oklahoma. His gentle humor, creative insight, unselfish- ness, and his understanding of school problems have helped make him a true friend of the stu- dents and citizens in this community. Serving as treasurer of the Board of Education and as custodian of all its funds is Mrs. Cora MacSwain. Mrs. Jeannette Mitchell, sec- retary, has served in her present position since April, 1946. Mr. Walter Wilson, clerk of the Board, was first appointed to his position in 1937. Mrs. Jeannette Mitchell Mr. Walter Wilson Mrs. Cora MacSwain Secretary Clerk Treasurer page seven MR. WALTER P. MARSH A. B., M. A. 1 Principal One of the most beloved educational leaders in the state is Mr. Walter P. Marsh, our principal, who has been in El Reno High School for sixteen years. Through his willingness to help at all times and because of his ability, he has won the admiration of all his students and teachers. A sincere friend of all, Mr. Marsh is ever ready to assist those who need his guidance, whether this be to correct or to encourage and praise. Mrs. Edna McMahan Kelly Miss May L. Shanklin B. A., M.

The rehearsals of the El Reno High School band began early— a week before the opening of school—since the first home football game at which the band marched was played on the evening of September 15. On September 23, the band marched in the Kids’ Day parade held in downtown El Reno. On October 21. the day of the annual “Battle of the Bands marching contest in Oklahoma City, the EHS band returned to El Reno with a superior rating and high honors. The band was one of four Oklahoma bands invited to attend the OAMC homecoming celebration in Still- water on October 28. EHS band marched and played at all home football games and traveled to two out-of-town games, one at Northeast of Oklahoma City on September 29. and the other at Putnam City on October 13.

Thirty-six students—fifteen representatives, fifteen alternates, two representatives at large and four offi- cers—comprised the executive council of the Students’ Association in El Reno High School this year. In addition to the council’s task of supervising and sponsoring the special assemblies, mixers, class elec- tions, football and basketball queen contests, poppy and March of Dimes drives, “Gifts for Yanks Who Gave” and the all-school play, it assumed other important responsibilities. This year a “campus pride drive” was sponsored, and the procedure of voting in homerooms for student officers was changed to a practical system of using regular voting places and ballot boxes. New ideas were brought back to EHS by the delegates who attended the annual meeting of the Federa- tion of Oklahoma High School Student Councils held in Norman. EHS’s representatives at the conference were Ernestine Ownby.

The Tribesmen won 17 of their 21 games this Seasonpowered by Jim Sherman. all-stater, and Bill Curtis and Herman Meinberg, all-conference choices, the Indians proved that they were a tough outfit, although only one “regular had returned from the 1949-50 team. Sherman, Meinberg, and Curtis were named to the all-star conference team, while their veteran coach. Jenks Simmons, was also honored by being chosen all-conference coach of the year. ..... Sherman, a smooth floor man, Meinberg, leading scorer for the team, and Curtis, who controlled the backboards, were always among the starters. Others on the starting quintet were Charles Cahill, who was described by Coach Simmons as a fighter, and Wrav Littlejohn, who was a “tough reboundcr and a team leader. Robert Palmer and Charles Wynes also saw considerable action. Abo on El Reno’s roster but failing to see os much action as tiie “regulars” were Jack Reuter, Arthur Croak, Bob Maine. Fred Lechtenberger, Paul Hauser, and Donald Jimerson. These boys were always on call, and most of them will don the blue and white again next year. 4 . . . . With Coach Bob Bodenhamer taking over the reins this year, the “B team proved to be a bunch ol strapping youngsters, winning 8 games while dropping 7. _ A. . , . Leading the B” squad were Thomas Hardwick and Bill Peterka. Rounding out the B team s usual starting lineup were Bob Vance, Chester Ovcrholser, and David Bergner. Other front liners were Ray Collins. Bobby Valderas. and Jimmy McGinley. Although only three boys returned from last year's squad, the “B” team had a good season. Much of the credit for the rebuilding of the squad goes to Coach Bodenhamer, who worked for many hours with the boys on the maple floor. page fifty-nine Lettermen’s ( lub First row—Jim Sherman, football two years, basketball two years, tennis one year; Michael Lokensgard, football two years; Bob Vance, football two years; Alvin Owens, football two years: Franklin Shive, football two years: Wray Littlejohn, president, football three years, basketball two years, baseball two years; Raymond Tillery, secretary-treasurer, football three years; Ray Collins, football two years; Earl Hunneman, football two years; Coach Jenks Simmons.

BAND (Continued from Page 38) The band played in a special assembly on Armistice Day for its first concert engagement of the year. Several members of the band were chosen to attend the all-state band clinic in Stillwater, December 14 and 15. On December 17, the band and the choir combined their efforts to perform at the annual Christmas concert. At basketball games, the pep band added sparkle. February was a month for clinics, as the band attended the OCU band clinic on February 9-10, and sev- eral members participated in the all-state band in Norman, February 22-24. However, on the evening of Feb- ruary 22, the group returned to El Reno for the band’s first annual mid-winter concert. The band attended a concert in Edmond on March 30, where it rated superior in concert playing. It also won superior ratings in the district contest, April 13-14. and in the state contest on May 4. The band, its soloists, and its ensembles, collectively, brought back 15 first divisions from state. Patsy Royse was crowned band queen for 1951-52 at the coronation concert on May 8. Tri-state music festival in Enid was attended on May 10-11. This group again furnished music for the graduation exercises on May 24.

Servicemen’s Roster The following list of names of El Reno High School former students and graduates who are now in the service of their country is as complete as the annual staff was able to make it at the time of the annual’s going to press on Tuesday, May 8, 1951. These men left their classrooms or their places of business to uphold American principles in the present emergency. We of El Reno High School want to express our sincere appreciation to these men, who are nobly and willingly sharing the trying experiences of war with men of many other countries so that the rights of men as individuals may be preserved.

They also came to know an even more important fact—that they be- longed to each other. Adversity taught the most rug- ged individualist among them that he had to depend upon the good will of his faithful neighbor. He need- ed this neighborly friendliness to afford him the ad- equacy of spirit so essential to his ability to carry on amidst the rigors of those wide open spaces. Although the nearest human soul was miles away, he was counted as his neighbor and there was great reassur- ance in the fact that he was there. Today, the world is our neighborhood and no world neighbor is any farther away in hours of travel than were some of the neighbors of the pioneer. NEIGHBORLINESS Tyranny that would reduce all men to serfdom has replaced wild animals, and the elements as our com- mon enemy. A common brotherhood among men, whether their skins be black or white, yellow, brown or red, must bind us together in human kindness and understanding in order that we may find the neces- sary reassurance to win the present world contest in behalf of human freedom and human dignity. In our day-by-day relationships with each other as students in the classrooms of the El Reno Junior College, may we build into our lives that necessary human understanding which will enable us to play our individual roles in this great present day act of history. Ray P. Porter, Dean A SALUTE TO Today less than six years after the world’s great- est and bloodiest holocaust came to a victorious con- clusion, less than six years after the mighty German and Japanese Empires crumbled to destruction, man is again casting troubled eyes to the sky each day be- coming darker with clouds of treachery and evil. War” is again on the tongues of the American people. The forces of the United Nations are carrying high the banner of freedom and democracy to those cring- ing under the whip of a totalitarianism so brutal a Christian mind can scarcely conceive of it. Here, at home, we are again witnessing and feel- ing the effects of mass preparation—the bracing of the United States for the blow that seems inevitable. Selective service has been resumed and the armed services are increasing their numbers at a breath- taking rapidity. From the beginning of the school term in Sep- tember of 1950, the military services have been de- pleting the ranks of the El Reno Junior College stu THE SERVICEMEN dents. Classes had only begun in September when Kendall Gholston enlisted in the Navy. Robert Thiel, Wclbornc Fire, Cleon Winslow, Danny Hobaugh, and Robert Johnson were absent from school starting the second semester; they had enlisted during the holi- day vacation. The air force was the choice of Thiel, Fire, Hobaugh, and Johnson, while Winslow picked the navy, as the best service in which he could do service for his country. Thomas J. Toomey was called to active service from a reserve status in the air force shortly after the second semester began and Bill Lechtenberger enlisted in the army. The El Reno Junior College is proud of the fine group of young men who have enlisted and of the record they are making. We. who are left struggling with school problems miss these former students; we miss the dry subtle humor of Toomey, we miss the fine basketball playing of Thiel, Fire, and Hobaugh, but most of all, we miss the comradeship of all of them. It is our earnest hope that all will return safely. page seven—A Obtaining Knowledge? Lunch Time Working Man Important Information Starting the Annual Pla� tered jfn Historians?

BASKETBALL The El Reno Junior College basketball season of 1950-51 opened with practice sessions around Novem- ber 1. Ten collegians turned out and although they were few in number, their hopes were high. Lack of reserves plagued the Chieftains throughout the season. An examination of the schedule and the scores on it would indicate that our hopefuls endured a very un- impressive season, but high spirits prevailed through- out the short season and fun and fellowship made up for our shortcomings otherwise. The season opened with the Chieftains invading the home court of the Amarillo Badgers in Amarillo. Texas, on November 31. It was the opening tilt for both teams and both played a sharp game of ball. The El Renoites led throughout the first quarter and put up a stiff fight throughout the entire contest fin- ally coming out on the short end of a 61-51 score. On December 1 our locals moved over to encounter the Clarendon Junior College quintet, again losing a rough and tumble scrap 51-47. On December 12, the Chieftains met the South- western Trade School for their first home contest. Our boys turned in a stellar performance and the local fans were delighted as the Chieftains rang up their first victory, 49-43. It was during the Christmas vacation that Uncle Sam decided he needed a few of our boys more than the Chieftains did. When practice resumed after the holidays, we found Welborne Fire, Robert Thiel, and Danny Hobaugh had answered the call to the colors. Suffering from this tremendous lack of man- power, the Chieftains encountered the Southwestern Bullpups on January 4 on the local floor. The Bull- pups had the decided advantage in height, reserves, and experience as we were overwhelmed 83-55 in a free scoring contest. The short season was closed out with a trip to Weatherford to tackle once again the tough Bullpups. This match was more closely contested and the score remained fairly even during the first half. The sec- ond half, however, found our Chieftains subdued 60-45. The El Reno J. C.’s wound up with a total of 217 points as compared with 298 for the opposition. Leading scorers, with their averages were Ray Bowling, 13.4; Bob Pisell, 12.4; Richard Preno, 11.0; Robert Thiel, 6.4; and Bill Propper, 5.5.

Dr. and Colleagues Surprise CALENDAR SEPTEMBER Come on gang, throw down your fishing rods and tennis rackets—leave the swimming hole till next summer and it’s time to forget these for awhile ana enroll in another year of school. There’ll be all the fuss of getting to class on time, passing tests, and paying tuition. But, there’s compensation for all these things, and school will be lots of fun, too. Canasta parties, dances, picnics, and banquets lie ahead and there will be the fun of meeting new friends and seeing old ones again. The first thing we do after we enroll is elect officers, and in our special meeting held in early September, Sam Davis was named president, with Cleon Winslow as vice-president. Wanda Royse was chosen secretary and Clifford Scott was made treas- urer for the year. Near the end of the month we had a hayrack ride and wiener roast on the Edwin Kirch farm, northwest of El Reno. Dorothy Mathis had brought her ukulele and played accompaniments for group singing. After eating, the remainder of the evening was spent playing games, after which we piled back onto the hayrack and headed for town. All of us felt pretty “stuffy” the next day in class. OCTOBER October was a cool, crisp month. Leaves fell everywhere, and rustled underfoot, band music blared out on the frosty air, football season was in full swing, and students studied for six weeks’ tests. In chemistry lab one morning, while most of the class were concocting strange solutions and odors. Dean Porter caught an entirely new smell in the air. He soon discovered that Charles Benson, Sam Davis, and Cleon Winslow had made coffee over their Bun- sen burner. They had cream, sugar, cups, and saucers, and even offered Dean Porter some of the coffee, but he was unsympathetic and put a stop to their refresh- ments, and made them get back to the chemistry ex- periments. That is an eight o’clock class and isn’t over until eleven, so the rest of us sympathized with the boys and their coffee making. NOVEMBER This was rather a dull month at college. Every- one was studying and trying to think of what subject to choose for a term paper, and whether to join the air corps or navy and when to join. The speech class was making extemporaneous speeches and learning to use correct gestures in speak- ing. Mrs. Porterfield’s art class was doing clay model- ing. Sam Davis, Allen Reding, Cleon Winslow, T. J. Toomey, and Mrs. Mabel Bomhoff made pottery pieces which were put on display the latter part of the month. DECEMBER A big month for everyone—Christmas holidays were close at hand—there were big parties to look forward to—lots of presents (we hoped), and shopping to do and everyone broke. Everybody looked for- ward to a week or so sleeping late, laying off lessons, and eating twice as much as usual. Mr. Durham’s psychology class went to Norman to visit the mental hospital. Dr. McCallister, their guide through the various buildings, explained the many different kinds of mental cases which they saw. Everyone reported a very instructive afternoon. Later this month, Welbome Fire and Robert Thiel left for the air force. We all felt lonely after they left, and the J.C. room was several degrees quieter. JANUARY This was a month of good-byes to the boys leav- ing for the army and navy. Our farewell banquet— OF EVENTS the first really “nice” party of the year was held one Friday night early in the month. Danny Hobaugh was leaving for the air force the next morning and Cleon Winslow was joining the navy. Sam Davis was marrying Ruth Blanton and moving to Stillwater to attend Oklahoma A M. We had the banquet in the VFW hut. When we arrived that night and stumbled into the gloomy recesses of the room, we saw white candles on the tables, and vases of white chrysanthemums around the room. Silver and yellow crepe paper were used in the rest of the decorations and on the tables. The food was delicious and we also had a good program. Miss Witcher gave the invocation, Mr. Porter made a speech, Joe Frank Marsh sang two solos, and Miss Marilou Myers gave a dramatic reading. Some of the boys had brought a television set from downtown. The teachers thoroughly enjoyed the wrestling matches while the students danced and played canasta. The party broke up around 12:30 and then almost everyone went out to a cafe for more food. FEBRUARY By this time, students were enrolled for the second semester and we had another election of of- ficers. Don Shuttee was elected president, and Joe Frank Marsh, vice president. Wanda Royse was re- elected secretary and Clifford Scott was re-elected treasurer. Three new students enrolled, which helped out, since we lost so many of our boys at Christmas time to the armed forces. Eleanor Little joined us from A M, Jack Buss came from OU, and Hugh Dempsey came from Arlington, Texas. The speech class began debates this month. The subjects were “Socialized Medicine,” and World Gov- ernment.” Speakers also took up poetry interpreta- tion and discussion. MARCH A canasta party was held early this month in the Jr. College room. Dancing and television were other forms of entertainment. The food committee provided plenty of sandwiches, cookies, and cokes. Miss Witcher’s English II class began a unit of American plays. Green Grow the Lilacs” and “Our Town” were read aloud by the class, and everyone enjoyed them very much. The study of color and abstract design was be- gun by Mrs. Porterfield’s art classes. Students also began a unit on clothing and home decoration. APRIL Well, there we were, gazing out the windows at budding trees and blooming tulips, and not even thinking about lessons. Thoughts of hiking down country roads, or lounging around the swimming hole kept stealing into our minds, and nothing was harder to concentrate on than math, history, or English. Miss Shanklin’s history and government classes suffered under the strain of frequent tests, but finally had to admit they were learning something. Algebra and trig classes were getting rougher all the time, and the boys said they really had to apply themselves this month. They think they deserve a vacation more than any of the rest of us. MAY The last month of school and a whole summer to look forward to. There was a big picnic this month and never had we seen so much food and such beau- tiful weather. There were south breezes, blue skies, and a temperature of around 80. We all tried extra hard to boost our grades for a good showing the last six weeks. Fortunately, most of us succeeded. page twelve PRINTED BY The Cl 'Reno J-tmerican EL RENO. OKLAHOMA X-
