King and his new assistant, Dale Holt, were faced with the task of developing a good ball club in the 1943 season. All of the opposing teams were pointing for Enid High due to the fact that they were not only Mid-State Champ- ions but were also holders of the Mythical State Championship from the previous sea- son. The Plainsmen opened the season with a smashing victory over the Fairview Yellow- jackets with a score of 26 to 7. As antici- pated, Floyd Winheld, veteran back, sparked the play of the Plainsmen in this initial con- test. Also 'Leroy Holloway, 155 pound Sopho- more, rammed the Fairview line for gain after gain, registering Enid's third touchdown after setting it up by plunging for two successive downs. Clarence Paine and Stanley West, veterans from last year, were named Co-Cap- ICLIIIIS. ' The next week we lost a heart-breaking game to the Norman Tigers in our first Mid- State Conference game. Enid had the strong invaders tied at the half, 6 to 6, but the Tigers came back to score again in the third quarter, thus handing the Plainsmen their first loss since 1941. The old familiar cry of ow-o-o-o echoed and re-echoed at Plainsmen Field when the Plainsmen met the highly-trained Shawnee Wolves. Still suffering from the defeat the week before, they were determined to take Shawnee. This they did scoring a touchdown in the Hnal minutes of the fourth quarter to turn them back 14 to 7 after the visitors had knotted the score in the same period. Quarterbaeks Floyd Winheld and Leroy Hol- loway again shared honors for the Plainsmen. The Plainsmen then took to the road to play their first game of the season under strange lights with the Oklahoma City Cen- tral team. But the Plainsmen, displaying superb form at passing, running, and block- ing, broke a long jinx and defeated the Car- dinals on their home field 20 to 12. This was the first time that Enid had beaten the Cards on their own field during their 32 years of grid warfare. Enid's touchdown in the first quarter came on a beautiful left end sweep by WinHeld from the Oklahoma City 29-yard line. Ar the half the two teams were knotted, 6 to 6, but Coach T. Kingys pep talk to the Plainsmen during the rest period soon began bearing fruit. Enid made the second touchdown on five consecutive plays featured by a 41-yard pass from Winfield to Bogert. After a short punting duel the Cards tried a run from punt formation, but Bob Buxton, one of the scrappiest Guards in Plainsmen history, hit the Card right half so THE QUu.i. MAGAZINE By1oHN MCMAHAN hard the ball flipped away into the hands of Stanley West to recover for Enid. Winfield again unlimbei-ed his arm tossing two passes to West for a 23-yard gain. Win- field then took the ball around short left end for the Hnal two yards to pay dirt. Expecting the toughest competition they had met all season, the Plainsmen met Capi- tol Hill in a contest that drew a crowd of 4,000 to Plainsmen Field. But the squad was willing and ready to turn them back 13 to 0 for their third lvlid-Conference win. Floyd VVinfield passed the Plainsmen to vic- tory over the Redskins, firing a 15-yard toss to Halfback Don Bogert and a mighty heave to End Stanley West in the first quarter to set up the initial touchdown. Fullback Leroy Holloway scored the Hrst marker off right tackle with a plunge from the four-yard marker. Clarence Paine, Bob Buxton, and Stanley West spar-kled in defensive play. ln the following game Enid dropped a close decision to the Ponca City Wildcats, 7 to 0. Enid, hampered by not having Win- Held and their scrappy, hard-driving guard, Bob Buxton, could not break down the Wild- cats, Enid again journeyed to Oklahoma City to meet the Classen Comets. Although Clas- sen was reported to have a good team, the Plainsmen sensing their underdog role, scored an upset in the Mid-State Conference by nudging the Comets from second place in a hard-fought 6 to 0 victory. Enid's touch- down came early in the fourth quarter olf a spectacular 69-yard march started late in the third period. Tailback Floyd Winheld carried the pigskin to pay dirt with a smash from the two-yard line. Richard Bell, who had been doing a bang-up job at center all season, turned in a brilliant performance for the Enid defensive, time after time throwing a Classen back for a considerable yardage- loss. Also Clarence Paine, Bob Buxton, and Stanley West were outstanding in their de- fensive playing. After six consecutive hard battles in six weeks the Plainsmen turned their attention to their next foe, the Blackwell 1V1aroons. The entire Plainsmen squad of 30 members made the trip, and nearly all of them were used as they ran rough-shod over the Ma- roons 44 to 6. End W. Beckham, Plains- man kicking expert, set some sort of record when he lifted five consecutive conversions straight between the crossbars. lim Thomas kicked a 21 yard field goal at a difficult angle. Enid was next host to the Guthrie Blue- jays. Taking the ball across the goal line for their Hrst counter in five minutes of play, the Plainsmen started an attack against the fConzim4ed on page 6U

This was heard along the halls as one rushed to student assembly. Where are they going? All right, letis find out! By pushing our way to the auditorium, we Hnally reached our assigned destination, and after carefully examining ourselves to see if there were any broken bones, we settled back in our seats ready to take in what the peppy Plainsmen could give out. The three outstanding joint pep assemblies of the year were for the Norman, Shawnee and Perry football games. This enthusiasm started the year off with the usual vim, vigor, and vitality that all Plainsmen possess. Regardless of our being separated, everyone had fun at joint assemblies, and nothing was lacking in the spirit of old Enid High. Emerson's first student assembly was the morning of February 4th. Acting as Master of Ceremonies, Frank Howard introduced Dwight Minton to play at the piano. The next feature of the program was Dorothy Friday singing Oh, What a Beautiful Morn- ing,', and Lullaby of the Bellsu. Charlene Gunning gave a reading entitled The Trap- per' and His.Dog, followed by a solo by Iohn Kumli. Two selections on the accordian were presented by Ruth Lillibridge. Closing the program was a marimba number by Iune Rose Scott. hfiiss Charlotte Kretsch was in charge of this program. The morning of February 4th found the Longfellow section of our student body set- tled in their specially assigned seats for another assembly also. Bob Gregory acted as Master of Ceremonies. The first part of the program took place in the broadcasting station C-O-R-N-Y where we found Ted Chaney at the microphone and Robert O'Rourke at the piano. Several musical selec- tions were played. The second part of the program was a Hindu Stunt by two mystics from Enid High School. A womanless wedding was put on by the boys from the Industrial Arts Department, and it was quite the social affair of the sea- son. This assembly was presented for both parts of the student bodyg and was under the direc- tion of Miss Ruth Moore, Miss Lois Brad- ley, Mr. Herbert Seem, and Mr. Ray Brown. February 25th found us participating in an entirely new and different assembly. This assembly was dedicated to the boys who had gone into the Service at the close of the first semester and to those who were to leave at the close of the school year. Iohn Kumli sang the Marines Hymn, followed by Don Milligan singing The Army Air Corps . Iohn Burdick sang Anchors Aweighf' and together the three boys sang The Artillery Song . Dorothy Friday sang Say a Prayer for the Boys Over There . The program was concluded by the three boys singing Over Theren. Miss Dorothea Houghton and Mr. Cecil Gott were sponsors of this program. The Science and Home Economics Depart- ments presented their assembly on February 25th. Donald Yates and Ervin Goertz were responsible for this assembly which was pre- sented as a radio program. The first part was advertising Coyotes' breakfast food, and the last half was sponsored by Gurgleheim- ers' Liver Pills. Between the commercials there were several musical numbers by the swing band and individuals. The Science and Chemistry Departments had several interesting and colorful experi- ments. The Home Economics Department showed through a display of posters the im- portance of a well balanced diet with the use of the seven basic foods. The English and Speech assemblies were combined this year, and we had double the usual entertainment at one time. A vocal trio, Wilma Lawter, Grace Hronopulos, and Dorothy Wilkinson, introduced the program followed by a Spanish song by Barbara Moots, a tap dance by Betty Malone, and a piano solo by Iune Robbins. The most outstanding thing was Virginia McGinnis' tap dancing on roller skates. QHOW she did it, we'll never knowj. Miss Margaret Edwards concocted a clever chorus composed of eight boys from our Iunior Class, Dave Hume, Bill Tom Sheets, Bill Harlan, Bill Richardson, Lawrence Mar- vin, Bob Hays, Don Waters. and Bill Stramp. The last part of the program was a synco- pated court scene, and when the students left the assembly they were all talking with that syncopated accent. Included were Don Hndrie, Iudgeg Maude Scrivner, Court Clerk, Lois Hobart, Barbara Iones, Bob Eddleman, and Ioe Woelke, lawyers. Iurymen were Andy Hronopulos, Efy Hronopulos, Martha Hronopulos, Bill Hemingway, Mary Lou Lambert, and Lou Ida Lookabaugh. QYou oughta try it, itis funj. March 3, a one-act play entitled His Father's Gone South, was staged by the Iuniors in a special assembly program. Those in the cast were: Oleta Clinesmith, Iane Ash, Nancy Frantz, Patty Iayne, Naoma lean Crews, Winston Miller, Bob Bingham, and Robert Childress. Frank Davies, Class President, announced the pro- gram. Miss Ruth Moyer and Mr. Myrl Kirk were in charge of this program. On March 24, a patriotic assembly was given by the History Department under the direction of their sponsors, Miss Ella Iohnson, Miss Helen Stewart, and Professor Shane. Bill Masters dedicated the program and told of the many boys in the Service from Enid High School. Grace Hronopolus sang A Prayer for the Boys Over There . The Student Body had a hand in the program, too when they were asked to join in on fContinued on page 62j
