1 ‘ GwoJIm_Q Gt OyJ % t y £y s )ited by Members of Creative Writing Class El Reno High School and lege Staff —El Reno College El Reno, Oklahoma Shoes — the echoes of their footsteps Whisper many secrets down the Corridors of time. From the Days of Old, they have carried Men about their tasks of both Good and evil; and these deeds Have left indelible footprints In the sands of time, pointing the Way to glory and valor, or The way to cowardice and destruction. Shoes — many are the interwoven Pathways they have trod During our high school years. Their footprints mark the pathways To classes, to sports and social events. Shoe-skates, loafers, oxfords, tennis shoes, Football shoes, and the Staccato beat of high heels— All are a part of a phase In our lives that we shall never forget. Always in El Reno High School These shoes have taken steps In the right direction under expert guidance. So now, for memory’s sake, and Lest we should forget in years to come, We have recorded here, for all to see and read, A printed and pictorial record of the steps we took During the school year of 1951-52. J d • • «. .1 Jr- :- 75.' . ■ Wrf.' It ; m m (Dedication The corridors and the rooms of El Reno High School would be just a little less bright, just a little less cheery, and somehow just a little empty without the never-ending bright smile and the ever- understanding heart of our friend, teacher, and registrar, Mr. M. A. Mitchell, Jr. As a member of the faculty, he has given the students a better and more comprehensive interpretation of what the word'“life” really means and has been a close friend to everyone with whom he has been associated. Quietly going about his daily tasks, he has served our high school in a most commendable manner. In dedicating this 1952 Boomer- Collegian to you, Mr. Mitchell, we wish for you many, many years of happiness and many more success- ful years as the EHS registrar. Sn iJlfmnrtam To all of us who knew her, Miss Hodnett was more than an instructor; she was a sym- pathetic and understanding friend. Her personality drew the student into a friendship that led to everlasting memories. Her guidance was appreciated and cherished because the stu- dent always knew that she had his best interest at heart, and her advice came from a vast store of knowledge and experience. As our principal Mr. Walter P. Marsh has said, “Although she won’t be with us in our classes, we won’t count her absent, for she has a DCA from the Master Teacher.’’ MR. J. M. BURGE MR. STEVE LUCUS President Vice President Only those people who love little children and who'honestly desire to serve them should be members of a board of education. Board members should also possess intelligence of a high order and good business judgment. The El Reno Public School System is for- tunate in being served by men who meet the most exacting qualifications for membership on its board of education, and who, in all respects, work unselfishly and with sincere devotion in behalf of the community they serve. During the school year 1951-52, the fol- lowing officers and members served on the El Reno Board of Education: Mr. J. M. Burge, president; Mr. Steve Lucus, vice pres- ident; Mr. Leonard E. Hale, Mr. Rupert M. Fogg and Mr. Marion Watson, members. Mr. Lucus is senior 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. Under their guidance the El Reno High School makes steady progress. Envied by other communities, it is the pride and joy of both young and old who live within the orbit of its influence. 6 MR. L. E. HALE Member MR. RUPERT FOGG Member MR. MARION WATSON Member Superintendent Paul R. Taylor, one of the leading school officials in Oklahoma, has served as head of the El Reno school system for seventeen years. During this time, he has endeared himself to the alumni, faculty, and students because of his rare under- standing of the problems of boys and girls and his un- tiring efforts in behalf of the local schools and community. El Reno is fortunate indeed to have as capable and outstanding a man as Mr. Taylor at the head of its school system. His unselfish service for others is an inspiration to all who know him. MR. PAUL R. TAYLOR A.B., M.S. Mr. Walter P. Marsh, who is completing his seventeenth year as principal of El Reno High School, is a capable and ef- ficient administrator and an inspiring leader for his students and faculty. Under Mr. Marsh’s fine direction, EHS has produced many worth-while citizens. His eagerness and his willingness to help every student become his best self have endeared our principal to all of us.

OLA SE Shoes Shoes are coverings for the feet. There are many kinds. There are oxfords, sandals, loafers, boots, overshoes and Rom- an sandals; there are high topped, low topped, high heeled, low heeled, leather, cloth, wooden, red, white, and black, as well as those of doctors, statesmen, economists, poets, preach- ers. teachers, humanitarians, and philanthropists. Some shoes make foot-prints in the sand; others make foot-prints in the sands of time. Some shoes are easily filled; others are rarely if ever completely filled. Are your shoes of the description which give you a feeling of adequacy and satisfaction? It takes conscien- tious effort to make them so. Science department CAAj.

It is fixed in our minds, not because it was awe-in- spiring. but because, enjoyed or not, we remember it as being different from the school that with which we are all so familiar. A fellow begins to realize that this business of growing up is accompanied by a new feeling after all. That sense of re- sponsibility ... of knowing that what you do is a product of your own iniative; not of someone shoving you. The satisfaction of finding out that people do respect your judgment and aren't as- tonished when you actually come up with something good. Situations like these lead you to believe that you are on your way. It's a good feeling. You realize that from here on out you're an individual personality; one of a group, but an individual. 7 . f!

OHA OUR PRESIDENT FUN-SEEKING KIDS AGAIN THE ART OF EATING READY FOR THE GAME MORE ART CONCENTRATION? Qalenclar of Events SEPTEMBER “Where can I get a history book? Anybody seen my zoology lab book?” “Do you want to see what’s in the viscera of our frog? These and scores of other questions were being heard throughout the domain of the Jr. College. Do they sound famil- iar, dear students? If not you have missed the greatest thrill of going to school; that of being mixed up and confused in the everlasting chaos of those first few days of returning to books and themes and reports. Of course it isn’t all books and themes and reports; remember that swell hayrack ride we had on Sep- tember 25? Thanks to Allen Reding we had a place and transportation. Naturally at the beginning of a new semester we had to elect new officers of the Jr. College student body. After all the nominations and voting we came up with president, Ray Bowling; vice-president, L. E. Krause; secretary, Dorothy Mathis; and treasurer, Jo Ann Fuchs. OCTOBER With all the officers elected and most of the books found by their rightful owners, we finally got under way as a normal Jr. College should. Every- one now caught on to the idea that it was time to settle down and dig into his books. This came as a bitter surprise to most of us. Who wanted to study when he could be doing something worthwhile? Oh, well, going to school is mostly learning anyway—and we can’t learn without studying. This month also had a bit of amusement in it for the students, however, because we had the Hal- loween Masquerade party in the Jr. College room on October 25. Boy, was that a mixture of weird cos- tumes and funny faces! Charley Waller was the center of attraction on this occasion. He came as a sultry lady of distinction and had everyone guessing. This netted him the booby prize for the best costume. There were also teachers wandering around appro- priately dressed for the occasion. NOVEMBER This is the month for giving thanks and there occurred in the Rose Room a party bedecked with turkey and dressing and all of the good things to eat that just naturally go with Thanksgiving. After eating, which I might add, is always enjoyed by Jr. College students, we adjourned to the Jr. College room where we played games and danced. DECEMBER “Somebody grab that tinsel!” “Hey, where can we get some lights? “Does anybody have a star that we can use? Yes, it was Christmas time again and with it came all the joy of fixing the Christmas tree. The Jr. College room was really shining with tinsel and streamers. Everyone had at least a little bit of mistletoe, because a group of students made a venture to the South Canadian river and brought back a tremendous amount. Just before the Christmas holidays began, every- one enjoyed a party in the Jr. College room on De- cember 20. We had cake and nuts and Christmas candy and sandwiches. Remember those sandwiches? JANUARY With January came a number of things. Cold weather, semester exams, some old students leav- ing and some new ones joining us. Paul Myers left us during the first semester and Thom Brower started second semester at Oklahoma A. and M. One new student came to us second semester; Ronald Harper from A and M. College. Of course at the end of a semester there is always the bitter thought of those exams which are ever- present but when they are over we can always look ahead to another semester of parties, fun, and study. FEBRUARY On February 4, (we had a semester banquet and party at the Reno Rancho. True or not, some students made the comment that this was the best party yet. After the feed we cleared away the tables and danced, and those who didn’t care to dance had a variety of games and amusements to keep them busy. The teachers seemed to enjoy themselves. MARCH Blow wind, blow. Man, what a windy place! Is it because of the weather or just some of the dis- satisfied members of the Jr. College. All in all. we can’t complain about the weather we’ve been having this past winter. It’s been fair and warmer most of the time. What is the matter with you people? Could it be that the cause behind those limps and bruises was the skating party on March 18? My, how time does fly! It seems only yesterday that we were wandering around trying to get settled. Here it is the end of March with only two more months of school. There is a mad rush on Boomer work. Bob Turk comes to the rescue with his hand lettering. APRIL Well, here it is spring and time for that look to creep into the eyes of the masculine members of our group. It is also time for hay-rack rides, roller- skating parties, wiener roasts, and a lot of fun for those who partake in these things. Someone once said, “In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns—!” How well this is proven in the Jr. College now. People are lounging everywhere and it seems as if books are temporarily forgotten. MAY With May comes the joy of living to the heart of every student for this is the last month of school. Dear students, can we not regain our interest in our books for the last few weeks? Although our picnic on May 16 with a “study-stopper,” we still have that bitter thought of final exams. Although some of us were a little disappointed, perhaps, and some were overjoyed with final grades, everyone was glad that school had finally ended. Now we shall all go our ways. A few will return but the majority will travel different paths. Of course there will be new students to carry on in our place or should I say “pick up” where we left off? Fare- well, fellow scholars.

Running over 11 opponents while dropping but 2 tilts, the 1951 edition of El Reno Indians, built around 15 returning lettermen, won district, bi-district, and state quarter-final games before bowing in the state semi-finals to the Ponca City Wildcats. They racked up a total of 346 points during the season compared with 142 points scored against them by opponents. After two weeks of pre-season football training at Fort Reno, the hardened El Reno gridsters started rolling toward a schedule that would find them as one of the top 10 teams in the state most of the year. Opening the season on the home field, El Reno knocked over -Watonga’s Eagles, 32-0, and followed suit by whipping Guthrie, 34-20; Clinton, 34-7; North- east, 38-0; and Chickasha, 14-0. Duncan snapped the win streak, 20-7, but did little damage to the In- dians’ spirits, as they came back to sweep the remain- ing games on the regular schedule. Lawton fell by a 13-0 score, Edmond fumbled through a 46-12 defeat; Putnam City absorbed a 40-0 licking on a muddy Adams Park turf; and, in the final regular season game, El Reno, won the district championship by downing Anadarko, 27-13. The 1951 Indians, the first El Reno team ever to enter the state playoffs, won the bi-district game over Edmond, 20-13, in a Thanksgiving day classic; and, the next week, faced Stillwater’s Pioneers, who had been tabbed as likely state champs all fall, in the state quarter-final game. Unleashing a devastating air and ground attack at the cocky Pioneers, the El Reno boys turned in one of their finest all-round per- formances of the season, as they dusted Stillwater off, 21-13, and gained the right to enter state semi-final play against the Poncans. Although El Reno put on a fine display of foot- ball art, the Ponca City squad went home with a 34- 20 victory, enabling them to enter the state finals. Even though El Reno’s fighting Indians did not go all the way, they gained the respect and admir- ation of fans and opponents alike because of their fine, clean, hard playing; and they established themselves as a leading team in the state football power houses.

Playing on the home field, the Indians dropped the opener to Duncan's Demons 13-3. Chickasha clipped the Indians 8-6 and later took another verdict. Putnam City next pasted the Indians with a 7-2 win. Entering the Geary Invitational Tourna- ment, the Indians tasted their first victory, shellacking Concho 14-4. El Reno entered the South- western Tourney at Weatherford and defeated Sweetwater 14-3. In the quarter-final game the Indians ran into a tough Elgin team and came home nursing a 3-1 loss in one of their finest games of the season. Putnam City defeated El Reno again April 25, this time 10-2. Closing out the regular season, the Indians qrabbed their only conference win when they de- feated Lawton 7-5 on April 28.

Paul Bennett, pole vault; Marce Lee Watkins, mile run; Tom Stewart, high jump; Earl Johnson, weight man; Paul Hauser, weight man. El Reno High School’s track team has made an impressive record during the 1952 track season. Coach Bob Bodenhamer had four re- turning lettermen this season. These boys were Marce Lee Watkins, Earl Johnson, James Archer, and Donald Jimerson. El Reno entered three meets, bringing home Boomer conference mile champion, quarter-mile, and a tie for conference high- jump. Second in the low hurdles, fourth in shotput. and fourth in the mile relay were also added. In the Duncan Invitational Track Meet EHS grabbed fourth in highjump and fourth in the mile. At a triangular meet held in Chickasha El Reno won first in the mile, in the highjump, and in 440 dash; second in low hurdles, in high hurdles, in 880 dash, and shotput; and third in pole vault. Chickasha and Putnam City were also entered in this meet. Way up thar seems to be the expressive gesture of Tom Stewart, high-jumper, as he talks with other tracksters, James Archer, Marce Lee Watkins, and Jim McGinley. all first place winners in one of the track meets entered this year by EHS’s track team. — URLS’ TENNIS TEAM—Jill Shaw, Gloria Botts, .ynn Shaw, Gertrude Hix, Janet Johnson, and .ilia Beth Fisher. Tennis Schedule El Reno High School’s spring athletic program for the 1952 season of tennis started off with a bang. The boys’ and girls’ teams went to Lawton but were de- feated. Lawton made a return match to El Reno and again became the champion. Meanwhile the Boomer Conference time came, and the two teams went to Chickasha to compete with Lawton and Chicka- sha on April 9. Jill Shaw won the girls singles and David Bergner and Larry Masters advanced to the semi-finals, to put El Reno second in the Conference. Other matches were with Classen in Oklahoma City. The boys planned to go to the state tournament in Still- water on April 18 but were rained out; however they went to Norman for the other state contest. The girls went to Stillwater the following week with Coach Virgil Shaw. BOYS’ TENNIS TEAM — Jimmy Moore, David COMBINED FORCES Bergner, Larry Masters, Mitchell Riley, Travis Windham, Richard Cahill, and Richard Horton. [jolf Team El Reno High School’s golfers proved to be the “winningest” of the spring athletic teams as they proved superior to every team they met on the links. Five boys reported for practice to Coach Jenks Simmons .when the season opened and all had a big hand in the clean slate posted by the linksman. With all members of the team being upper- classmen, El Reno High School is promised another top-notch golf team next spring.

CHS (Diary for IQ52 Dear Diary, So that we may remember in future years the events of our schoolyear of 1951-52 that we recall so vividly now, we have written them down in this, our diary, and have published them in our Boomer to preserve them in a permanent record. SEPTEMBER Dear Diary, In September we happily—and reluctantly—came back to school from summer vacation for the beginning of the 1951-52 term. The girls were beginning to worry because they out-numbered the boys 328-267, and leap year was coming on. Everyone was noticing the changes in the building. There was a cafeteria where the old study hall had been, a new library on the main floor, the old library, now the site of a club luncheon room called the Rose Room. The Forum had the honor of being the first club to hold a meeting there. We really weren't accustomed to school yet when we found ourselves right in the middle of the football queen race. Cute little Doris Merveldt was elected in one of the closest races in EHS history. We thought we were seeing double for a while, but then we discovered it wasn’t our eyes at all, but twins! EHS hod four sets! Installation and initiation of FHA officers and members was held toward the last of the month. A half holiday for the State Fair made everybody happy. Well, dear diary, these were our activities for September. This is the first time we’ve kept a diary, and we trust we related the facts to you accurately. If our efforts weren't satisfactory, however, maybe they will improve in October. Dear Diary, tion for “green hands,’ OCTOBER October opened with a big musical production. The vocal and instrumental music departments and the speech and stagecraft departments worked together to bring to the stage of EHS the music from the Broadway productions of “Oklahoma,” “South Pacific, and “Showboat.” We were busy “looking pretty” to have our pictures taken for the annual. T I students took over Penney’s store for a day. In spite of the snow that caused many delays, six organizations decided to ob- serve the traditional hayrack rides. They were Phi, BMC, Art Club, Senate, Forum, and Service Patrol. Eighteen of our bright and shining journalists made a trip to Norman—to attend a journalism conference, that is. Perhaps the outstanding humorous event this month was the Pepett and Squaw pledge day. Many of our freshmen, who had never witnessed this before, thought the witches and goblins of Halloween had really come to life, but we managed to convince them that these hideous sights were really harmless pledges. The formal initiations were also held this month. And just so the favorite EHS pastime of upperclassmen—torturing the poor pledge—could continue, the Forum and Senate issued bids. The FFA held its initia- and October faded into November. Dear Diary, NOVEMBER One of the first social events of November was the T I hay ride. We were all very proud of Franklin Shive when he was named “lineman of the week” by the Daily Oklahoman sports writers. Finally, after many postponements because of snow and rain, Doris, our pretty football queen, was crowned. The BMC and Phi issued bids, and the poor girls who were just recently ini- tiated into the pep clubs found themselves pledges again. The art club also acquired new pledges, and the Adelante initiated theirs. During the two-day Thanksgiving vacation Miss Hodnett and four students at- tended a press conference in Topeka, Kansas. Mary Jane Joehnk and Peg Huston even got their pictures in Topeka’s daily newspaper. Big wheels. . . . The pep clubs gave the football boys a big send-off to the state quarterfinal game, at Stillwater, and November, 1951, passed forever from our midst. Dear Diary, DECEMBER Needless to say, even as the month opened, everybody had already begun to think of Christmas, and most of the December social events were planned around this holiday. Added to this excitement was the state semi-final football game—first semi- final in the history of EHS. Th2 all-school play, “The Night of January 16th, however, kinda jumped the gun on the new year. The BMC and Art Honor Society conducted initiations, and we entered the last six weeks of the first semester. Four of our student council members attended a conference in Stillwater, and Nancy Erbar was chosen 1951-52 FFA sweetheart. EHS students like to have some sports going on all the time, and almost as the football season closed, the basketball season opened. By now, the Christmas spirit was really in full swing. The music departments presented their annual Christmas concert, and holly-bedecked halls saw socials spon- sored by Pepetts, FHA, Senate, Forum, Adelante, freshman pep club, and FFA. The vacation for the holidays began, and students and teachers parted with shouts of “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” Dear Diary, JANUARY New Year’s resolutions were floating around the halls when we came back to school in January. Initiation was held for Phi pledges, and nine new students entered EHS as second semester began. A savings stamps booth was set up in the hall by the student council, with stamps to be sold each Tuesday and Thursday. We were entertained in assembly by the Norman trio from the University of Oklahoma, and our own EHS talent presented a very entertaining program later in the month. Fair weather put a hint of spring in the air, and we wondered if it were really February staring us in the face. FEBRUARY February changed to March, Valentine’s day set the theme for February. The advanced girls’ chorus presented an assembly entitled “Sweethearts on Parade, and comments of “What a sweetheart were heard when Lorene Garrett was elected basketball queen. Her majesty’s coronation was also this month. The National Honor Society made nineteen juniors and seniors very happy by issuing them bids. More music held the spotlight when the EHS band presented its annual mid- winter concert. Another annual event was the FHA parent-daughter banquet, and National FFA week was observed February 17-24. Something different in the way of social events was held when the BMC’s and their guests dressed up to go to a costume party. The Forum and Senate held a benefit basketball game for the March of Dimes. The score was tied at the end. The juniors received their class rings and seniors voted on graduation announcements. MARCH Dear Diary, In March a great tragedy overshadowed all other events here at EHS. It was the untimely death of Miss Josephine Hodnett, our Boomer supervisor, in an auto- mobile accident. School wjjs dismissed for her fqperal, and a great many students and teachers attended. (lAs lo 5 7, Earlier in the month some of A M’s students journeyed all the way from Still- water to present an assembly in the EHS auditorium, and basketball season passed to make way for spring sports. Track, tennis, and baseball held our attention. Students were rushing to get in their down payments on the annual before the deadline, and EHS made a good showing in inter-school competitions. The speech department placed second in the speech sweepstakes contest at East Central college in Ada, and Jane Bailey was runner-up in the state VFW oratorical contest. Judy Hud- dart won fourth place in the state essay contest, Employment of the Handicapped.” Musically speaking, the band attended a contest at Central State college, Ed- mond, and the vocal music department held its annual spring concert. We all rooted for our favorite team when the Senate and Forum held their second benefit basketball game, the victors being the Forumites. El Reno sent its share of Future Homemakers to the state rally in Oklahoma City. Campaign speeches were heard all through the halls just before student council election; it was all climaxed when we filed to the polls to elect our student leaders for next year. There were three parties during this month of the lion and the Lamb. The Squaws entertained their guests at a dance and game party and the cast of the junior play celebrated its success as Thespians. The Adelantc enjoyed traditional Spanish games at their social. So the March breezes ushered in the April showers. APRIL Dear Diary, The poor boy was reveling in the joy of twirp season” the first week of April when his billfold was spared by the generosity” of the girls. Climaxing this week of merriment the student council sponsored a sock hop in the gym. The freshman pep club also held a sock hop this month and the Phis enter- tained guests at their annual spring social. The school building literally shook with excitement the second week in April when an earthquake caught the entire student body assembled in the auditorium. We all enjoyed a day’s Easter holiday, and as part of our annual observance of Easter, devotional assemblies were held every day the preceeding week. The Thespians of EHS presented a one-act play festival the middle of the month, and the seniors took the spotlight with their play toward the last of the month of showers. One of the biggest social events of the early spring season was the Pepett athletic banquet, which is an annual affair and is always the occasion for a lot of preparation. Pretty Dorothy Whipple was elected and crowded 1952-53 band queen at the annual spring band concert. Another annual event was the school carnival which always has a large turn- out. This year was no exception. With all this activity over, we said goodby to April, and hello to a month that promised to be even busier. MAY Dear Diary. The band was quite busy this last month of school. They attended two festivals and held a banquet. The juniors were industriously making decorations for the junior-senior ban- quet, and the Phis held their mother-daughter tea. Senate members also stepped into the social spotlight this monh with a hayride. The seniors, at last reaching the goal for which they have long struggled, en- joyed senior class night and commencement immensely. And with all the excitement of these events over it became time for us to say farewell to school, some of us not to return again next autumn. When school closed, we knew some of our paths would never cross again, and that these faces and the events of this year would fade in our minds as the mists of time close about the years. That is why, dear diary, we have recorded them here, as faithfully as we possibly could. In this way the mists of time may be pushed aside in future years when we recall the school year of 1951-52. With many happy memories of our years spent in EHS, we bid farewell to the underclassmen and wish them success and happiness. —Seniors of '52 SENIOR CLASS Maine� Mari,yn Birlew� Patsy Royse, Shirley Flippen, Jo- lene Wi,c°x ....
