FOSSETT 3 THE QUILL MAGAZINE Tooflvall fconzi nued from page 10 j Fred Hazel fading toward the sidelines. Hazel gathered it in and streaked for the tally untouched. The Plainsmen packed in their second largest crowd of the season with an overfiow crowd of 5,000 attending. The game was highlighted at the halftime with the crowning of the 1951-52 Band Queen, Kae Major. Leonard Atkinson did the honors. For the fourth straight week Enid had a home game entertaining the Shawnee Wolves. Enid could do nothing wrong as they soundly trounced the visiting Wolves 28 to l2. On the first play from scrimmage Halfback Daymond Myers skirted his left end for 65 yards to the Shawnee one. Shaw- nee's stalwart line held, and they kicked out to their own 30. Enid again took over, and Myers carried over from the 10 in four plays. Eroese converted and the locals were ahead to stay. A few minutes later DeRoose Ray- mond added another tally for the Plainsmen cause on a 25-yard keeper. In the waning moments of the initial quarter the Wolves retaliated with Bill Lowry faking a pitchout on his own 26 and romping 74 yards to go over unmolested. Shawnee continued their scoring ways in the opening seconds of the second quarter scoring a TD on three plays to make the score at halftime I3 to 12, Plainsmen. That was all she wrote for the visiting Wolves as Enid caught fire in the second half. Enid took the kickoff on their own 12 and were on the Shawnee I7 in eight plays. Don Sloan carried the mail, and the local eleven held a 20-12 lead. Later in the same quarter the Plainsmen had the Wolves cor- nered deep in their own territory. A bad renter went past the receiver, and the ball bounced out of the Wolves' end zone. Enid clinched the conference game in the fourth stanza when alert Lineman Charles Purnell intercepted a Shawnee pass and rcmped the remaining 20 yards for the final score. The following Friday night the blue and white trekked to Oklahoma City to meet the powerful Central Cardinals. The Plainsmen with mostly Sophomore representatives plowed the Cardinals under with a devastat- ing passing attack to annex their second conference victory 13 to 0. After a scoreless initial stanza the Enid eleven began to click. Iohn Bell took a Bristow pass on the Central 27 and plowed his way to the four. Three plays later Don Sloan gathered in another Bristow toss to garner six points for the Plainsmen. The conversion attempt was no good. The Plainsmen added the clincher early in the third period. DeRoose Raymond gath- ered in a pitch from Aubrey Bristow on the Enid 23 and broke loose for 73 yards and an Enid tally. Haskins converted. The next week the Redskins from Capitol Hill invaded the local camp in a game that saw two entirely different offensives. Capitol Hill drew the first blood in the last Eve minutes of the first quarter scoring two touchdowns. The Redskins led at the first quarter mark l3-0. In the second quarter with the Plainsmen trailing 20 to 0 following a Huke TD by the Redskins' Bobby Dart, Rip Radcliff took a Bristow pass on the Enid 47, shook off two would-be tacklers and galloped 53 yards for the touchdown. Capitol Hill retaliated a few moments later to make the halftime score read 26 to 6, Redskins. From there on it was all Oklahoma City as the Mid-State cham- pions added on more score in the third quarter to wrap up the contest. Enid's TD in the fourth period was not enough to catch the Redskins. The final, Capitol Hill 33, Enid 13. The same fate befell the Plainsmen at Ponca City the next week as the Wildcats led by All-State Krider triumphed 32 to 6 in a game played in drizzling rain. The Plainsmen took the initiative early in the first quarter as a Bristow to Raymond pass was good for Z2 yards and a touchdown. Ponca rebounded with a 73-yard drive cli- maxed by Tom Selbey to make the score even at the first quarter mark 6-6. That was it as far as Enid was concerned. The Cats began in earnest at the second quarter whistle as big Iim Krider went wild scoring three touchdowns, one of them on a 60-yard sprint. The score at halftime read 26 to 6, Ponca. Ponca added another score in the third stanza to ice it and the Plainsmen were on the short end two weeks in a row. With a record of 4 wins and 3 losses under their belts the .Plainsmen journeyed to Taft stadium to do battle with the Classen Comets in a game won by ice and snow. The two teams banged to a 13-13 tie. In the second quarter Rip Radcliff gath- ered in a Bristow pass on the Enid 40-yard line and raced 60 yards down the middle to go over the double stripe unmolested to put the Plainsmen out in front 6-0. Classen opened up the second half with a devastating passing attack to score on nine plays with Tom Murphy scoring on a pass from Iim Miskowsky. In the Hnale Classen forged ahead on the fourth play on a keeper by George Miskow- sky. With time running out and things looking black in the blue and white camp, Daymond Myers took a handoff from Au- brey Bristow, skirted his right end and scored behind the beautiful blocking of Don Eroese. Haskins converted to knot the count. The homecoming game highlighted the next week's activities. The Plainsmen enter- tained the Northeast Vikings on the home field on the last game at home.

Continued Success to Graduates 'kc Hotel Youngblood AIR CONDITIONED Guest Rooms, Coffee Shop, Banquet Rooms Q49 YOUNGBLOOD FOUNTAIN jhrnom far Sandwiches and Drinks, Drug Sundries '65 Headquarters for all School Activities Bruce Wallace Owner and Manager Q E THE QUILL MAGAZINE ssemblies Meme Cromwell and Shirley Holt During the first week of school, Enid High students heard from the new coaches concerning the condition of the football squad at the first assembly of the '51-'52 term held in the Education Building. The formal opening of each assembly was performed by members of the Student Coun- cil with President Franklin Cooper presiding. Miss Pat Armould, Miss Laura Milam, Miss Ruth Moore, Miss Maurine Morrow, Miss Ruth Scott, Mrs. Nellie McCreary, D. Bruce Selby, Harold Duckett, and G. Ray Bonham deserve orchids for their well-spent time on the faculty assembly committees. Among the fall assemblies we remember best are: D. Bruce Selby's rope tricks, Bravette skits, the football team on the field running plays with Coach Gibson narrating, the cheerleaders' efforts, and the Student Council's example of Roberts Rules of Order. Enid High was privileged to have Roe Bartle, nationally known Boy Scout executive, banker, and world-wide traveler, in one of the best assemblies of the year. Mr. Bartle has a booming voice and a dynamic person- ality which kept his audience hypnotized throughout his talk on Americanism, citizen- ship, and our opportunities in school. With Iohn Dykes emceeing, the initial request assembly went off with a bang. Hillbillies Drue Meloy and Carole Gungoll sang Philadelphia Lawyer, Ronald Bobbitt played Deep Purple, Evelyn Leachman danced to Top Secret. Panhandle Ragi' and Quicksilver were strummed by steel guitarists lack Ritter and Neil Myers. Bill Patrick mystified the audience with two tricks, while Because of You was crooned by David Tarpenning, and Norma lean Hooveris reading The Speech Teacher's Nightmare, and Amateur Gum-chewing, which was done in characterization, showed that Enid High not only had a quantity of talent but also quality. The Enid High mixed chorus was in excellent voice as they sang in two assemblies first semester. Before Thanksgiving Ole Mose Put Pharoah in His Place and Gloria ln Excelsisi' were presented with a talk concerning American Education Weekl' by DeWitt Waller, superintendent of schools. As the Yuletide season drew near Song of Christmas and Hallelujah Chorus were given by the chorus in connection with the nativity scene portrayed by the drama class. Perhaps the Armistice Day assembly was the most impressive of the many asemblies during the year. The speech department's selection of They Serve Who Only Stand and Wait was appropriate while Mr. Selby read the American Legion Dedication for the formal presentation of the Hag which flies in front of our building. Taps was played by Bill Shore for all war dead and going back to classes, we seemed to grasp a new and deeper meaning of this thing called war. ln a lighter mood, the Christmas band assembly jingled its merry way through such numbers as Christmas Nloodsf' Sleigh Ride, 'lRudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and Here Comes Santa Claus. As a featured soloist, Vida Chenoweth played on the marimba. Second semester two programs by the radio class were heard over the P.A. One was of a humorous nature while the other had the more serious nature of Brotherhood after which the Washington elm tree, a gift of Iohn Vater and H. B. Bass, was planted by the student body and class officers in front of the building. One of the most popular assemblies of the year was a community sing put on by the mixed chorus. The students were led by the chorus as they sang such popular numbers as Slowpoke,U Cry, Because of You, Down Yonderf, The Little White Cloud That Cried, Sin, Tell Me Whyf' and lt Is No Secret. The Teen Town Band played several modern selections, and Helen Mixdgett closed this assembly with her interpretations of Rhapsody in Blue and Prelude in A Sharp. The request assembly was such a success that we had a repeater. Dick McKnight announced as Richard Merritt tooted out 'lLassus Trombone. Betty Smith sang i'My Iohannf' Narda Wilcox danced acrobatically to Stardust, Dick Godschalk jazzed his way through an original composition, Berna Lou Byers sang Never,' and The Lovliest Night of the Year, Marie Dudley twirled to the march Washington Post and Ion Caton crooned Please, Mr. Sun, and Slowpoke.', The i'American Patrol never sounded like that before! A Los Angeles blind boy made sounds come from an organ that we never knew could be imitated. A girl from Wichita, Kansas, also blind, sang Italian Street Song. Then the boy played any number the students requested. This program was spon- sored by Books for the Blind a free-will offering was taken up for the procuring of braille editons for the blind. Probably the most excited we ever got at an assembly was the Monday morning after our basketball team became the State Champions. Let 'er rip, let 'er roarln could never again be roared so loud. After we calmed down so Mr. Selby could be heard, all the coaches and the boys on the team were introduced individually. Mr. Waller was there to congratulate us, and setting on a table in front of the team was the tall, gleaming, gold trophy. There was wild fcontinued on page 92j
