With only one regular, quarter- back Bill Adams, back at his original position, the outlook was none too bright. The other two holdover starters from the 1953 team, Fred Singleton and Jerry Welch, changed positions. Singleton moving to guard from end and Welch from fullback to left-half. After ten rugged. days of training at Fort Reno, the Tribe, under the tutelage of new head coach Kenneth Kamm, made their seasonal de- but at Watonga and squeezed past the stubborn Eagles 20-12. The following Friday Kamrn's Kids visited Kingfisher and bowed 14-13 to the more experienced Yellowjackets. Next week found the Indians playing host to the powerful Clinton Red Tornadoes and although giving the undefeated club a scare the Tribe fell 13-7. Journeying to Northeast the Indians rebounded with a mudsoakod 13-0 triumph. Returning home the Warriors began conference play and dealt Chickasha a 14-0 defeat and ran their record to 3-2. The next week found the Demons of Duncan dueling the Tribe to a 20-20 tie in a thrill-packed contest. Lawton, the big one, was next for the Indians and in a roughly played game the Tribe prevailed 12-7. Traveling to Putnam City to engage the powerful Pirates in a non-conference clash, the Warriors were handed a 20-7 setback. The Edmond Bulldogs prov- ed to be the next victims as the Tribe soundly thumped them 27-6. Returning home to engage Ardmore in a confer- ence championship showdown, the Warriors found the once-beaten Tigers just too much and were beaten 21-6 In the season finale the Trible rambled past a strong Enid squad to the tune of 21-7.

Dubbed as a loser at the beginning the Tribe more than once proved them- selves no exception to the winning tradition established by other standout teams is the school’s history. It was an uphill climb all the way for the Indians as they won a share of the Boomer conference title from Chickasha after they had been doomed to the cellar. Coach Simmons molded a group of in- experienced boys into a team of top-ranked veterans who finished the season rated seventh in the state. The Tribe started fast by upending Shawnee at the Norman tournament but bowed to Capitol Hill in a semi-final game. After winning over Weatherford and squeezed by Putnam City 51-49, the Tribe picked up second spot in the Enid tourney as they edged Enid but were beaten by top-rated Classen 50-40. Returning to the small EHS gym the Warriors picked up two conference wins by down- ing Duncan and Ardmore. Journeying to Capitol Hill the Tribe once again fell before the powerful Redskins. The Indians suffered their first league loss as they were clubbed by Chickasha 73-51. Re- turning home the Tribe walloped Weatherford only to be upset by Lawton 48-43. The Tribe rebounded by soundly trouncing Ardmore to begin a six-game winning streak. Besides posting victories over Central, Duncan and Putnam City the Indians also avenged two earlier losses by edging Chickasha 51-50 and pasting Lawton 69-59 on the Wolverine court. Meeting a powerful Clinton five the Tribe was subdued 64-45 but finished the season in a flourish by downing Central and Clinton. The final two games were played in the new Coliseum the Tribe’s new fieldhouse. Entering the regional tourna- ment at Classen the Tribe was eliminated by Classen 45-26, thus concluding the season. Five seniors were playing their last year for the Blue and White and it was with their help that the Tribe was so successful. Seeing their last action were Bud Babcock, Gary Smith, Fred Singleton, Don Wallace and Jerry Welch. 7enAc 7?l Mte it4 'Soom i (? ie£ f)c A SCmm t4. (fle 'ZfadtficA. 7 eH c f @tevCK$e . 6 THc okIcI.

The Trade and Industrial Education program was inaugurated in El Reno Highschool in the fall of 1937, and has continued since that time as an important subiect in the curriculum of the highschool. Its pur- pose is to educate and train boys and girls of employ- able age for advantageous entrance into skilled trades and occupations. This type of part time training is carried on through the coopciation of representatives of business and industry with the vocational departments of the school. The students who wish to learn a trade are found employment in establishments representing the vocational choice of the students. Here th � y are as- signed to a tradesman who instructs and supervises the student trainee while on the job. These students are paid by the employer for satisfactory service, at- tend school one half day and work the remaining half day, usually in the afternoon. Many students take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded to learn the basic skills of a trade while they are in highschool. By learning trade skills and receiving technical instruction and information the gap between school and full time employment is care- fully and systematically bridged. This type of education has many advantages for highschool students who plan to enter full time em- ployment upon highschool graduation. The most im- portant ones arc: Students receive trade training and experience; Students earn while they learn; Students are encouraged to complete highschool; Students are afforded an opportunity to develop their aptitudes and abilities; Students receive vocational counseling and guidance. Advantages to the school are many. Were it not for this plan it would be prohibitive for the school to afford training in such a diversity of occupations and trades. Each year students receive training in a doz- en or more occupations. Under this plan the trainees have access to the facilities and equipment of the various trades in El Reno. The place of business af- fords a real laboratory for the student and the school has gained the services of competent trade instructors without cost to the taxpayers.

Sduca oti fin an Atomic A$e One of the dominant questions of the present day is concerning the purpose of a college education for an atomic age. For service to our country, the training of scientists, technicians, social workers, po- litical scientists, and economists is important. For the betterment of the welfare of the individual, some of the objectives are vocational skills, ability to express oneself clearly, and the art of getting along with people. The greatest need of all, however, is one of ideals and a deep inner desire for the higher and finer things of life. The entire human race today is gripped by a spirit of revolution. People all over the world are demanding greater opportunity and greater dignity. Our Creator endowed all men with certain inalienable rights and the law of right and wrong is indispensable in human welfare. Atomic power places upon all mankind a new responsibility and the highest sense of trusteeship and worldwide brotherhood. Therefore, the greatest overall purpose of education today is to inspire to great ideals. Edu- cation must create forgiveness, tolerance, friendliness, generosity, hu- mility, helpfulness, trust, love, and sympathy for others. I believe that a reconciliation to God and our fellowman is a mental state that will enable us to live up to the trusteeship placed upon us by an atomic age. It is far more powerful in human affairs than the brute force of war, which has never solved any problems longer than tem- porarily. e ssss ? leviri 7 7 6.61 Boomer Editor t%lCH SfatlcCH C6$6t K Secretary, Second Semester Su?e e TU tOlcuti GUI Tttc tUc %iu —ii— j)ac6 R6cc President, First Semester TPCcCvCh 7{ 66tacx€ R uf 'Tft'id.

Many old friendships were renewed and still more new friends were made. After getting acquainted, we held our election of officers for the first semester. They were: President, Jack Rice; Vice-President, Dean Niles; Secretary. Karen Searcy; Treasurer, Ray Dill; and Reporter. Shirlecn Leighton. OCTOHEIt It was perfect weather lor a hayrack ride, so for our first social of the year we had a combination hayrack ride and wiener roast at Olive’s farm. With the help of Bob McNew and his mandolin the eve- ning was a grand success complete with burnt marsh- mallows, singing around the campfire, and the tra- ditional ghost stories. After looking around the lounge, we decided some redecoration was badly needed. With all the group pai ticipating, two chairs were reupholstered and all the furniture. was re- al ranged. What a difference it made! HOVER II Ell Turkey dinner with all the trimmings followed by a party in the Junior College lounge — that was cur social for the month of November. Ruby Thorp, our after dinner speaker, entertained us with a de- lightful talk on “How to be a Social Flop in E. J. C.” It was during the month of November that Mr. Dur- ham’s psychology class made its annual trip to Nor- man to visit the Central State Hospital. Upon :eturn- ing, Eugene gave an extemporaneous report of the trip to the rest of the Junior College in the lounge. It was Christmas season and we all had the Christmas spirit. We decorated the lounge and even put up a tree. With everyone contributing, we bought a family a turkey and all the trimmings so they could have a Merry Christmas too. A lot of hard work and planning went into the Christmas social which was given for all the graduates of E.H.S. who were at the time attending college or serving in the Armed Forces. It was held at the Elks Hall and sponsored by E.J.C., the Rotary Club, and the B.P.O.E. Along with the mad rush of Christmas shopping and party planning came the realization that the semester was about to end. Term papers were due, and finals were beginning. The one thing which kept us all going was the thought of the week and a half vacation. With the arrival of January we cannot escape the bitter thought of those approaching semester exams. Let’s hope that our teachers are refreshed from their Christmas holidays and arc in a very good and len- ient mood. We are all in our places, with bright shining faces and looking around, we see a few new ones. Welcome! for we have entered a new semester of parties, fun, and study. Elections were held again and the new officers were: President, Dean Niles, Vice-President. Bob McNew; Secretary, Shirleen Leighton; Treasurer, Bob Abel; Reporter, Jim Win- slow. FE Him ARY “Yea, Team, Fight! Yes. that was a familiar sound around the gym. for there was a lot of enthusiastic- boasting and cheering for our Junior College boys basketball team. The game was not only enjoyed bv all. but the proceeds went to help finance the school trip in May. ITA 1! C FI March was supposed to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb, but it was a sheep in wolf's clothing. March 21. the first day of spring, we had snow and a temperature of 14 degrees. All during the first week of “spring” we had colder weather than during the winter months. The weather bureau said that a new low recot d was set for this March. 1955. Faith and begorra, if we didn’t have a lot of “greenhorns during the wcarin' of the green. More Irishmen in E.J.C. than on the Emerald Jade itself. To really make the Irish feel at home, Jean Flagg brought a big cake to the college lounge and all gathered around for cake and cokes. Talk is already going around on what we will do the last of school, a trip, or a picnic. ATHTTL Aptil showers bring May flowers. Just think! school is out next month, but several weeks of hard wotk are still ahead of us. The inspiring Eastei season telling the story of the crucifixion and resur- rection of Jesus was much in our thoughts. The one day holiday following Easter will give us time to catch our breaths for the long pull until the last of May. Wm. ’ n a. v Semester tests, term papers. Junior College trip, and graduation. Everything came at once, but it was soon to be over for a while. We were all very proud of our five students who graduated. We know how much hard work had gone into it. Okay, students! school is out! pick up those fishing rods and let’s go. Good-bye, wonderful college friends.
