All students who have held an elective office at any time during their high school years are eligible to attend. The number of reservations this year was limited to one hundred. The mad scramble of at least twice that number trying to buy or beg tickets for the dinner this year surely attested to the increasing popularity of this function which is one of the largest of the year.

Following out the theme of i'Drums, the U-shaped cable was cleverly decorated with large and small drums, and the program was printed and presented with the same theme. Drummer Boy Bob Meiers presided as master of ceremonies during the program. Following the invocation by Ray Simmons Talking Drumsfy a negro dialect play put on by lean Barnett and Mary Io Vogt drew a spontaneous burst of applause. Frances Wt'bt-1' and Gerry Smith, Drum Beatsn at two pianos, were tops with their popular swing arrangements as were Iacqueline and lean Barnett and Dorothy Oldham as the Singing Drums . Vivian Baker with her drum solo rolled the program along to the high spot of the evening, an inspiring address by Dr. D. L. Edwards. Leaders in high school, Dr. Edwards said, 'Rare likely to be leaders in later life. Making poor grades does not mean you can't be a future president, but great leaders are the result of concentrated energy. Dr. Edwards with his quiet good humor and worth-while philosophy pointed out the value of youthful leadership as a sound pre- paration for the greater responsibilties of adult life. The program ended with orchestral selec- tions by Bobby Seese, NVayne Bundy, Iune Bauermeister, Herman Singer, Dorothy Old- ham, and Paul Kendall. The singing of Hail, Enid High Schoolii brought to a close the fourth consecutive meeting of Enid's leading citizens of the future, 20 Compliments of CHAMPLIN QDLS Stations Everywhere

Perhaps the place wliei-e they get their first actual training in this Held is during their high school experiences with elected governing bodies such as our Student Council. The council is composed of officers of the student hotly who act as ofhcers of the Stu- dent Council, the presidents of the three classes, and one representative elected from each home l'0OI11. The council members are selected for their qualities of leadership and in the capacity as elected representatives of their fellow classmates, they have the oppor- tunity to develop their characteristics of lead- ership even further. On the other hand, the students who do the electing gain another ounce of invaluable experience in governing themselves. Starting in 1930 as an advisory councii which was appointed hy the principal, the Student Council has progressed to its pres- ent form. The Constitution as well as the Courtesy Code were written by this time. 1933 was the year during which the name was changed to Student Council. VVhile the councii itself does a great deal of work, most of its duties are carried on hy standing committees. The Eligibility committee distributes half iots for the various elections, counts the votes. and posts the results. This committee also checks the grades of the council members each six weeks. Any member of the council who has made a failing grade or who has an incomplete on his report card is suspended from the council for the following six-weeks. If he does not bring the grade up on his next report card, he is pennant-nrly dropped from the council. This assures for the stuf dent body a council composed of students, who not only are leaders, but who also keep up their grades. The lsettermen's committee plans the an- nual homecoming day, sends invitations to former linid l-ligh lettermen, and keeps a record of new lettermen each year. The Utility committee puts up posters, schedules of games in the home rooms, and keeps the trophy cases clean and Iiezlt. 'lhe scrapbook, which contains all articles pertaining to hnid High Schooi published in either Enid paper or the Oklahoma City papers, is kept up to date by the Scrapbook committee. This book is kept in the com' mittee room and is displayed twice each year. The Assembly committee plans the second semester student assemblies and assists with the program for Open l-louse each year. The Proctor committee makes lists of eligf ihle proctors and presents it to the council. It also checks their grades each six-weeks to see if they are eligible to continue. A file of the constitutions of all the ciuhs in Enid High School is kept by the Ciub committee. They study each new constitu- tion and present charters to new ciuhs. Fach semester they send questionnaires relative to ollicers, membership and dues, to each club. The Diplomatsi' might he another way to refer to the members of the Reception committee. They welcome all new studen s to lfnid l-ligh. show them around the school. fCf171li7IlIt'Ii on page -MQ

SMITH, Proprietor 1sxxxxxxsxsstttxxxxsxxxtxstv l By sun To put it mildly, to say' the least, Enid en- joyed an epochal year in sports in 1940-41. Of all the years in Enid's sports history, this one will probably be remembered as the Olli- standing year. This year was indeed a year to be proud of and will long remain as the highwater mark in sports achievement. The beginning, and may we add it looked as if the beginning would be very dark, was way back in the summer of 1940, just previ- ous to the opening of school when two new football coaches, Wallace Lawson, and T. King, appeared upon the Enid scene. As far as their outlook toward a football team went, it looked dark, but appearances are often deceptive. From the supposedly run- of-the-mill football material they had to work with, they soon produced a team equaled by few in Enid history, a team, that for spirit and showmanship has been excelled by perhaps none. With this spirit and sheer will power, this Enid team drove through the best teams in the state and at the end of the season was only one rung from the top of the ladder. Out of all the teams they had played, only one, Tulsa Central, had succeed- ed in hanging a defeat on them, and that by a score of7 to 6. This one point is all that stood in the way to their claim to a state championship. However, in their first sea- son of Mid-State competition, the Enid foot- ball team, surprisingly enough to the other members of the conference, completely ran away with the trophy for this conference. Two members of this great team were chosen for first string positions on the All-State team. These were Elmer Simmons, in the backheld, and james Tebow, at end. Our hats are off to this great team and its two coaches who made this past season so great a success. Next on the list of sports at Enid High, was basketball, and again Enid scored a grand slam . For the second consecutive year, Enid was possessed with a champion- ship basketball team. Again coached by Les- ter A. Red Youngman who had done so well the year previously, the Enid quintet blazed their way through the best in a state where basketball is played as well as any- where else in the country, a state noted for its championship teams. Here, in basketball as well as football, the Enid boys romperl unexpectedly through the Mid-State Confer- ence, emerging at the end of the season with the trophy. They made their way through the preliminary rounds, into the finals of the state tournament only to have a one point defeat slapped on them, this time by Tulsa Will Rogers, thus keeping them on the second rung from the top of that ladder. Two men on this team were awarded All- State honors, These were Holly Pearce and Kenneth Buck Buchanan. Again we took our hats off. This time to the boys and the coach who made this bas- EVERITT ketball season such an outstanding one. The third major sport on the Enid High list is track, which is coached by Leonard McCoy. Here again prospects were not too bright, but these old appearances turned out deceptive again. The track squad came home from nearly every meet with a winner's trophy and a trunkful of medals. The Mid- State suffered here too because Enid's track- men brought home the bacon to complete a clean sweep of the major sports in this con- ference. Another of the sports in which we par- ticipate is golf. This year's golf team also scored an unexpected surprise on the Mid- State conference when they placed second in the conference tournament. Not being used to grass greens, they did remarkably well in trailing Oklahoma City Classen by only 12 strokes. Added impetus has been given to golhng in Enid by the construction of a new nine-hole grass green course north of town. At this point, let us add our word of appreciation for our four fine coachesg Wal- lace Lawson and T. King, football, Lester Youngman, basketball: and Leonard McCoy, track. These four men are largely respon- sible for any success that has come our way in the sports field. Three of the four are newcomers to the Enid High coaching scene. Two of them, Lawson and-King, arrived only this year, and the other, L, A. Youngman, was first seen in his position as head basket- ball coach at the beginning of the 1939-40 season. The other member of the quartet, Leonard McCoy, is a veteran of several years' experience. Weire mighty proud of our coaches, and the best that we can wish is that all of them will continue to serve and be successful here at E. H. S. It might be well to add also, that the city of Enid became the home of the World's and National Champion Semi-Pro baseball team, the Champlin Refiners, piloted by Manager Nick Urban. All in all, we think we had a mighty successful sports year, and one weill always be proud of and to use the words of Enid High's Principal, D. Bruce Selby, when asked about next year's teams, UThe Spirit of the Enid teams carries them through. These fine teams of Enid High School come from a program of training that's been in effect for a number of years, particularly that plan of playing full HB team schedules in major sports giving training and experi- ence to boys who will be next year's first stringers. Enid was among the first high schools in the state to advocate the adoption of the eight-semester rule which went into effect this year. Enid High School is the possessor of a School Spirit. Truly the Student Body, Band, and Pep Clubs deserve credit for their con- tribution in developing spirit and enthusiasm.
