The Purcell Company, Publishers THE ENID EVENTS THE ENID SHOPPER Our Business is to Help Yours II7 East Broadway ENID 1 , Wei Born seven years ago, struggling for exist- ence against any number of odds, and Hnally coming out on top is the story in a nut shell of the 'KEnid Legionettesn. Now boasting a picked membership of 43 girls, more blue ribbons than wall space, four directors in the service, an alumni organiza- tion, and the Oklahoma State Drum and Bugle Corps Championship, the Legionettes are well on their way to becoming one of the outstanding musical organizations in the Southwest. The Drum and Bugle Corps was started in 1937 by Orville Books with the purpose of giving those girls interested in music and not engaged in school musical organizations a chance to develop their musical talents. With the aid of his brother, Carl, and Mom and Pop Books he soon changed those clumsy but willing girls into a hrst- class marching group. The Drum and Bugle Corps then proceeded to begin its short, suc- cessful journey to the front. Orville and Carl left for the Army in 1941 but only after guiding the Drum and Bugle Corps through a state championship at Muskogee. Their place as director was Hlled for the next year and one-half by Sidney David, who in Sep- tember 1942 accepted a position directing the Blackwell Band. Since September the Legionettes have practiced under the direc- tion of johnny Beach. In March 1943 john- ny left for the Navy, and the Corps was then taken over by Howard Bishop who left for the Army Air Corps in two weeks. And so, since the War, the Corps has been sort ini111xnxxxxxxxsxxxixxxxxxxxxx xx of with and without directors. Mr. Newman takes over in between directors. Since the beginning this organization has been under the wing of the American Legion Post of Enid. This Post sponsors the Legion- ettes and every year sends them on many trips, among which is the American Legion State Convention. Last year's convention was held in Tulsa. It was at the Tulsa Conven- tion that the Legionettes were billed The Pride of Oklahoma . Among the many activities the Legion- ettes take part in each year are parades of all sorts, conventions, special memorial days, Tri-State Band Festival, and they recently took a prominent part in the American Legion Bond Show. The Drum Corps has within itself a well built discipline order. This consists of a President, Maxine Dillon, Vice-President, Imogene Lovelace, Secretary and Treasurer, jean Schaal, and several Drum and Bugle Sergeants. Piloting the Legionettes down the street for the past year has been Drum Major Peggy Sanders and Twirlers, Ruth Ann Taggart and Earlene Weeks. Ruth Ann Taggart now has the position of head Drum- Major. Drum Corps consists of High School girls, but each year after Tri-State, Freshman mem- bers are taken in to train for the coming year. The Drum and Bugle Corps loses only four Seniors this year, but four very efiicient ones. Those graduating out of the corps are Evelyn Keepers, Elsie Mae Gillenwater, Dorothy Horrall, and Peggy Sanders. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxuxsiVg E CONGRATULATIONS, SENIORS! j I UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION I 4 4 E and SCHOOL or NURSING E I I 4 - -1- .--i 4 4 - - - v 4 I 4 I FIRE PROOF ScientiHcally : E Q Equipped E I I : Eirst Class Complete X-ray : : in Every and : : Particular Laboratory E I 4 4 I 4 I ' I : Daryl Church, R.

Since that time, her students have handed themselves into a veritable 'iarniyn of defense and have helped defeat the enemy by heaping up fifteen tons of scrap material---fold hair curlers, inner-tubes, flat irons, hot water tanks, model 'Ts and what have youj as well as purchasing 551,125 in defense stamps during the period from lvlareh 15-lvlarch 25. Stamps have been on sale in the office throughout the year, and students have done nobly in buying them. Nine hundred dollars of this 551,125 went toward buying a jc-ep . ln an assembly on April lf, the first three tickets to the Senior play were sold at auction for a total of 55249, defense stamps being given to the buyer according to the amount of his purchase. This phase of the school's defense program is perhaps one of the most outstanding in that it shows the studentis willingness to put much of his material wealth into the elfort. In addition to material contributions, Enid High offered new, vital classes such as Phy- sicial Fitness for all boys, Pre-Flight, Electric- ity, and several outside classes. Among these were Civilian Air Patrol, First Air, a class promoted by the National Youth Adminis- tration to which twenty-five Seniors availed themselves on evenings and Saturdays, and she has given fifty students to the armed forces during the '42-'43 term. Due to a shortage of labor in all types of industry and business in the city, hundreds of high school students found themselves answering calls to work in stores, businesses, industries far in excess of any previous demands for stu- dent part-time workers. The office was show- ered with calls for girls to work in homes and to assist with the evening care of chil- dren. Fifteen Senior girls began a training course for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company late in February, '43, and will work full time starting Iune il. Elsewhere in the book is found the story of the eliective Trade and lntlustrial working force now in this school and communitv for the fourth vear. ln addition to these manv things linid High School has lent her rooms and instruc- tors to a program of adult vocational educa- tion under the supervision of Nlr. DeVVitt VValler and T. A. Kennedy which has in- cluded: 1 l. Classes in Blueprint Reading, taught bv lvlyrl Kirk, The students of these classes have found much worth in the course, in that 50 ,, of them are now employed in war work. lncirlentally, the Wloodwork classes under hflr. Kirk have built over four hundred tuodel planes for army aircraft identification classes. These all have passed government inspection. 2. Two classes in Radio and one in hlath for electricians taught hy XYalter Hunter, l.ester Youngman. and Cilarence liarlver, re- spectively. 3. A class in lioremanship taught by Nlr. Cf. K. Lovelace from Oklahoma Gas and lilectrie Company. 4. Two classes in Safetv lfducation with lirank Thomas from Oklahoma Natural Cias Company as instructor. 5. A class in lndustrial Accounting under V.

Yes, Susanna, six sets of twins, signifying twelve inalivialual twins, comprising live Qcount 'emj boys anal seven of the so-calleal softer sex, which about summarizes the twin situation in lfnial High this year. Sopho- mores. luniors, anal graaluating Seniors, all are representeal in the alouble-or-nothing com- binations. From music to basketball, from art to archery, their interests range wialely, liirst you see the Giltner twins. leanne anal la-annette. popular, vivaeious Sophomores. Strawberry shortcake. Southern-frieal chicken Qcoolaeal correctly. says leannettej anal gooal times iuark the material interests of these two. Both leanne anal leaunette are aleeply interesteal in music anal play the violin anal cello, respectively. They are members of the linial High School Orchestra anal play in the lfnial Symphony Orchestra with an ensemble axial trio number as their specialty. Among their school subjects Ieanne prefers Caesar, while both are extremely fonal of stualy hall. Ia-anne is Treasurer of the Sophomore class, anal la-aunette is Vice-Presialent of the Orchestra. Dancing for Ieannette, football for both, these Sophomores are true Plains- men, anal we're proual of them. Corning up next is the only boy-girl com- bination in the bunch. Lilburn anal Louise Pierce. Louise, an attractive Iunior girl, col- lects bizarre, fantastically shapeal perfume bottles while ha-if brother, Lilburn, is intense- ly interesteal in sport. He plays the position of right half-back in his football anal is active in track. A prominent member of the track squaals, Lilburn participates in the relays anal the luinalreal yaral alash. Like many Plains- men he makes moalel aircraft his hobby anal constructs all alilferent kinals of airplanes, even to one gas moalel. Next. we have the Blanal boys, Dwain anal Richaral. The ialentical two are both aalept archers, anal their favorite pastime is to strike olit in the wooals with their bows. Currently, they are members of the track squaals with Dwain holaling alown the 880- yaral run anal the mile relay anal Richaral running the mealley relay. Dwain likes his l're-Flight while Richaral prefers wooalwork anal history. The Pmlanals are popular at lfnial High, anal we are proual to claim them as real l-Jlainsmen. Next in line are the Kesners, Thelma lean anal Velma Io. They, too. are gooal musi- cians, featuring chiefly in singing anal alanc- ing. Qlncialentally, tha-y're gooallj. Another avial interest is in the science of botany, anal they are active members of the Luther Bur- bank lflower anal Garalen Club. Basketball anal history are among the many favorites of these charming girls. Vllhen askeal if they haal any college in minal when they graalu- ateal, they lookeal at each other anal grinnetl, Vv'e haven't alecialeal ya-tm. Anal we are per- fectly satislieal to keep them in linial High for the next two years. Two more Seniors appear next, the ever- popular Laalusau brothers. Dean anal Don. Their aleaally anal ellicient hanalling of a basketball has maale these two both feareal anal aalmireal throughout the state of Okla- homa. Although outstanaling in basketball anal intensely fonal of baseball, QYou ought to see those boys pitchlj their regular school- ing is another important consialeration. Dean prefers his English class among his aca- alemics, a girl frienal, Iackie Thomas, sees to that, while Don likes his physics pretty well. As members of the state's championship basketball teatu, Dean anal Don are wialelv known in these parts, anal none know it bet- ter than their aalmiring classmates in finial High. Fellow Plainsmen, keep it up. Then come the Iohnson twins, Ieane anal Iayne, two twins of like appearance, but cer- tain alefinite alilferences. leane collects horses Qminiature, we gatlierl, anal loves to fish anal luint, especially arounal Lake hlichigan anal also Coloraalo. She intenals to put in a vear at Phillips anal then join ha-it sister at Texas University. Pre-flight is her special favorite in Enial High. She is taking Bible at school anal intenals to become a missionary. Now, Iayne prefers the gentler arts. ln school she prefers typing anal shorthanal anal has alreaaly taken in a summer term at Phil- lips, beginning to learn alrawing anal archi- tectural alesigning. At the University of Texas she plans to contiinie her typing anal shorthanal anal, possibly, her talenteal alraw- ing. lt's strange that two girls so alike in appearance shoulal be so utterly different in ambition. Perhaps they can cover wialer Helals of success that way. Lots of luck, girls.
