Growing more and more impatient for Perry, the Plainsmen gave a preview of things to come in the game with the Chi- locco Indians and after giving a weak start in the first half allowing themselves to be held to a mere 7 points, came back in the second half to carve 34 more points from Chilocco's scalp and Put on a grand show for the spectators. The fans saw the entire Enid backfield, Winfield, Leierer, Keeton, johndrow and Kelly go wild. Clarence Paine gave an excellent account of himself by re- covering fumbles and blaring in to upset the Chilocco runners. After the smoke of battle cleared away, the score read Enid 41, Chi- locco OU. At last with intense preparation the game with Perry had been reached, The game was played in a stiff wind which held play on both sides from being of the open type. Perry was charging hard and low and got the first break of the game when they block- ed Keeton's kick and scored, getting a tem- porary lead but angered by the breaks the Plainsmen came back to feature Kelly in an off-tackle smash which deadlocked the game seven all. But Kelly scored again to put the game on ice and maintained Enid's Hrst place status in State circles. A new comer, jim Thomas, kicked both extra points. FLASH!!! Enid takes Mid-State Cham- pionship as Central Downs Shawnee. Enid High nearly took a holiday when this news came, and Coaches T. King and Leonard McCoy went around with huge smiles on their countenances. Since Enid had defeated Central and tied Shawnee for first place, Cen- tral's upset of the Shawnee eleven gave the trophy to us on a golden platter. But even so, all waited with but one word on their lips: Tulsa . Both teams being undefeated seemed to draw people like flies to sugar on that memor- able Thanksgiving Day classic, which prom- ised to be and really was, an epic. The day was a perfect one for football, and at 2:30 the teams took the field. The Thanksgiving game has always been the Seniors, crowning glory, and this was no exception. Enid start- ed off quickly with a battering offense fea- turing Winfield and the rest of Enid's back- field and soon bit pay dirt with Winheld carrying. jim Thomas made his only con- version of the afternoon. Tulsa came back hard with passes and quick, deceptive plays. Perry Moss, sensational halfback of Central, scared the Plainsmen time and again with his accurate passes, but Enid made They Shall Not Pass their watchword and dug in and started their own steam roller again, this time with tackle Leon Simmons inter- cepting a fluke pass by Moss and racing 30 yards for the score. The next half, Enid came back with fury and attacked Tulsa savagely, but the Braves were stubborn, and Enid was not able to get a foothold until again when Winfield started things by a punt return, and a long lateral pass play from Keeton to West to Iohndrow took the ball down farther. Then with quick smashes the Hnal talley was made by Winheld off tackle. The game ended, Enid triumphing 19-0 and also winning the THE QUIL1. MAGAZINE Mythical State Championship. Thus the season was officially ended, and everything was over but the shouting and a few more honors which had to be bestowed. The Enid Quarterback Club gave a cham- pionship dinner in the Youngblood Ballroom in honor of the Plainsmen and made the trophy awards and read the individual honors. Leierer, most valuable, trophy, Simmons, most valuable, Blanket, Gildea, outstanding lineman, Keeton, outstanding back, Kelly, best running back, Leierer, best blocking back, Gildea, best blocking lineman, Sim- mons, best defensive lineman, Sleeper, best tackler, Keeton, best passer, Keeton, best kicker, Luther, best team man, Pritchard, best pass receiver, These were honors bestow- ed upon outstanding players by their team- mates at the end of the year in the annual squad elections. These honors were disclosed at the huge banquet held in honor of the team at the end of the season. Sideligbts on Seniors: Remember the Clas- sen game-Harold Burdick's passing was really accurate and filled up admirably after Keeton was hurt-Sleeper didnit do badly either in the Chilocco game, Calvin drove clear down the field and didn't stop until he had scored a touchdown-johndrow, Hll- ing in as signal caller in Keeton's place in the Ponca game, quarterbacked the team to victory-Pritchard stretched his frame in the Chilocco game to snag three touchdown passes-Gildea played an outstanding game in . . . can't mention any special one. Bert played 'em all good.-Back Earl Luther kept the spirit high in every game, lots of pepper -Cummings went in, although injured, in the Shawnee game to help with a magnih- cent goal-line stand-Simmons at Shawnee rushed in and threw them for a four yard loss on the first play-Day, fighting guard, played his heart out in the Tulsa game, play- ing without replacement the whole time- Yes, we really had some outstanding Seniors in ,43. Enid High had a new addition to her faculty this year in Mr. Dale Holt. Dale was here in the capacity of Bee Team Coach, and he really had a tough job ahead, but coming through at the end of the season with a fine record for his first year. The 'iBees,' are vitally important to the football system and to the HA team especially be- cause of the preparation and experience that it gives the boys perhaps just playing their first game of football or developing new material for the Plainsmen squad. The Bees and Mr. Holt deserve a hand of con- gratulation for work well done. Later news came through that three Enid boys had been selected for All-State honors. Those being: Millard Cummings, tackle, james Leierer, blocking back, and Leon Sim- mons, tackle, All of these boys were three year lettermen. So there you have the story of the '42-'43 season complete with Mid-State Championship, State Championship, and an undefeated season. Credit goes to Enid's two great, inspiring coaches, Mr. T. King and Mr. Leonard McCoy and the squad of hard Hghting never-say-die boys. Truly this season will go down as one of the most suc- cessful in the history of Enid High School.

Green, put on that belt buckle! All right, soldier, let's have a look at ya papers. What a summer to look forward tol Why can't I stay in Enid High? Well, if I canit stay in the old school, at least I can take a last look before the war catches up with me. It seems as if you never appreciate a thing until you have to leave. When I think of the drafty barracks and the company street, and then look at the old high school, I long to be a Sophomore again. In my last glimpse of old Enid High I climbed slowly up the imposing marble stair- way to the main hall and stood there to take a long last look. From the noiseless floor of hundreds of thousands of small oak bricks to the cool pastel walls of green and cream I let my eyes wander slowly around the familiar surroundings. I glanced up over the trophy cases at the striking murals painted on the walls. They were painted by a former Plansman, Derald Swineford, and picture scenes from the old West, the true Plainsman country. I don't know whether they have murals in Africa, but I don't think they could equal those of an Enid High Plainsman. However, I imag- ine I'll soon find out. just one look at our trophy cases would convince any and all of the greatness of Enid High. Trophies dating back to the Hrst years of this century when Enid High was a going concern. Hundreds of honors dating up to the current year, a half a cen- tury later. But there's more than just trophies in the cases this year. The fighting planes of a dozen warring nations were modeled by Ed Hermanski and placed behind the glass. And another reminder of the war is the ramp in the other case that the war stamps and bonds of the students are hauling a jeep up. We have purchased two jeeps for our fighting forces and are working furiously for even more. Then I sauntered down the hall again to the entrance of the great auditorium where the huge honor chart of the fighting alumni of Enid High rears itself against the wall. Approximately two thousands of Plainsmen, many from this year's graduating class, are fighting the enemies of democracy. Their names are honored in Enid High as none have been honored before. Mine and scores of others from the Class of '43 will be up there next year. Since I'm this close I might as well go in and say goodbye to the fountainhead of Enid High, the office. It's formed in a suite of three rooms, the main office, the reception room, and Mr Selby's private office. The main oflice, as ofhces go, is truly artistic. The Hrst thing that struck my eyes as I entered was the huge red blanket that hangs on the opposite wall. There the great athletes of each year are posted. We have a couple this year that are greater than many of their predecessors. That huge desk-like affair that runs counter to the side walls of this office is certainly eflicient looking. It transforms the room into a real oflice rather than just another room with desks. Then there's the reception room, more like a living room than a school. A thick rug, a chandelier, modern furnishings, a divan, paintings, it's the per- fect receiving room for distinguished visitors. On the other side of the main oliice is that dreaded sanctum, Mr. Selby's office. Many's the time I have been in that room and not even noticed how tastefully it was decorated. Coming in, I hesitated on the carpet Cliter- ally, this timej and looked around. First, Mr. Selby's fine mahogany desk hit my eyes, then the filing cases and the stand of mys- terious electric equipment that makes up the headquarters of the public address system, in fact, unless you are too nervous to notice, the room is a good example of artistry and clockwork efiiciency. But let's get out of the offices, it's depress- ing. Guess I'll trot up and look over Miss Kretschls room, C-8. Itis easily the most beautiful room in the building. Dark, panel- ed walls, a heavily beamed ceiling, mediaeval Hreplace, diamond leaded windows lead one to believe that he is in the world of yester- day. Truly, the tasteful appointment of this castle-like room and the sparkling person- ality of Miss Kretsch make a twosome that can't be beaten. While I'm up here, I'll pop in and take a last goodbye of G-7 and its popular Latin teacher. Miss Ward's room, though not as bizarre as Miss Kretsch's, is different in its way. The beveled corners of the ceiling, the scroll of a Roman country villa behind the VV'ardian desk, the modern desk-chairs, any number of things strike a tangent from the usual school room. The winning personality and quiet humor of the Latin instructor, Miss Ward, lends even more to the attac- tiveness of the room. As long as I am on G-floor I guess I'll dash around to the two science laboratories and the museum of animal life, the chemistry and physics labs, and the biology room. Both the two laboratories have classrooms adjoin- ing the theory rooms where charts and desks are available for lecturing. The chemistry lab has two sections, one for the students to carry on their experiments with twenty-seven work- ing tables, eight sinks, and a huge demon- stration table complete with a large copper draft to draw off undesirable odors. The other room is the storeroom where hundreds of chemicals are kept. The physics lab is a very large room with many spacious tables with electrical appointments and large cabi- nets for the preservation of demonstration apparatus. This stuff is way above my head, I'm going to the biology room. Mr. Boyer's room is unique in E. H. S. It's crowded with scores of stuffed birds, animals, reptiles. Glass cabi- fffontinued on page 651
