During the noisy days she would have to talk so loudly. that during the quiet days she would be so hoarse that she couldnt be heard. The building was not all roses. Since l had spent some of my earlier days viewing the construction work in the new wing, l was very eager for its completion: and had found a real love in my heart for it. Naturally l never expected it to wreck my home life in the cuff, which it almost did. Principal D. Bruce Selby had given me a clue which if I had heeded would have prepared me for the situation. He warned the classes about the lockers. and he was right it was almost my undoing. My mas- ter was in quite a rush when it hap- pened, He needed a hook for his next class. and the locker stuck. For- getting Nlr. Selby's advice about con- trolling his temper. he took a couple of practice kicks in the air. l had been resting at the time. and it was certainly an awful experience to wake Tint Qvut up and find myself swinging back and forth in a wide arch. For sev- eral moments l felt sure l would be sent flying from my home, but with all my strength I was able to hold on. lncidentally, he didn't kick the locker: Mr. Selby came around the corner, which possibly saved my master a broken foot, Due to my crooked body, l was able to hang over the edge of the cuff without any fear of falling. After living in a world where the only change in scenery was a new pair of shoes, l was a very happy nail the day that l got my first view of the cafeteria, By peering over the edge of the cuff, l could see that the floor was of white asphalt tile with green dashes of color in it: and there was a border of green tile with specks of white . . . very interesting country. Also. the walls. as far as l could see. were of cream colored cement bricks. By counting 3-l-l table legs. l was able to discover the number of tables in the cafeteria: 86. Since there were l-l chair legs at each table. I figured there were six chairs at each table. This information was made available through my mathematics course taught by Miss Ruth Kloore. The tables were of nice blonde wood. but l never got a chance to see the :olor of the tops of the tables . . . a -guff does have disadvantages. One lunch hour l was really very nervous, my master ate dinner with a girl: and after becoming accustomed to blue jeans l just couldn't relax. Oh. but this was after the auditorium was fnished, The happiest day of my life was the day Mr. Selby called all the sen- iors into the auditorium for a sneak preview. Those blue walls v.'ere so beautiful: two shades of blue, and trimmed with white borders. l'll never, never forget itf The seats had pretty red cushions, and they must have been comfortable because my master was awfully slow about get' ting up. The curtains were lovely. You could raise or lower them to any position by the press of a button. The loveliest :urtain of all was the grand curtain, which was usually a tannish rose color: but it could change colors when different colored lights hit it. i-Xt another time l saw the scene of a room on the stage. and it even had a ceiling, The room was for The Thespian Play. whfch l 'jTtJ77fIiI7lI6'tf on page -ill Tl

Of course, you might not be interested in the life of a nail, but my life tells the story of the building which played a big role in your school life. Remember you were just juniors when it all started. I guess, it was the first day that you noticed the noise that my life began. For some time I had been a prisoner in a keg of nails. Then one day a man reach- ed in with his hand and picked up several of my inmates and me. For Il second I didn't know just what was going to happen, the man had singled me out from the others and was holding me perpendicular to the wall of something or other. Just as I was about to relax, a large object 20 BY DONNA OINEII. which I later learned was a hammer came rushing toward me: but I duck- ed, My body was bent and the man was using the most terrifying lan- guage. I dare not repeat it, partly because I was so stunned by the blow that I doubt if I could be relied on to make a correct quote. I lost con- sciousness and when I awoke I found myself on a ledge. Since there was no escape at the time, I took a nap. For several weeks I remained on the ledge. I spent most of the time sleeping, but one day I was awakened by voices from below. I peered over the edge of the ledge and was able to see one boy. In order to see the other one, I leaned further over the ledge. As I lost my balance, I was glad that my life had been limited to the extent that I was unable to commit any grave sins. However, life was not overl I found myself in the cuff of the boy's blue jeans. Al- though I was washed several times, and ironed just as many times, I never lost my place in the cuff. From the cuff, I saw the life of Enid High School: and its growth. To me the noise of the construc- tion workers and their machines had always been exciting. How narrow minded I would have remained, if I had not fallen off the ledge. My visits to the classrooms broadened my education, and they also gave me my first taste of other peoples opinions, For instance, I found that most of THE Qtuti.

Saturday, June 5, ready for a wonderful week at Girls' State, five excited girls, who had come all the way from Enid, got off the bus at Chickasha. But that wasn't the be- ginning. It all began with the junior girls writing a fifty-word theme on XVhy l Want to Go to Girls' State . They also listed their achievements and activities in high school. The five lucky girls who were chosen to renre- sent Enid at Chickasha were: Pat Phillips, Deanna Spickelmier, Karen Crowley, Jerrie Pinkerton. and Cari- lyn Muir. When they arrived on the campus, the girls were divided into cities and 22 1 6' W 4 BY CAROLYN MUIR counties, and the two parties, the Boomers and the Sooners. Then they spent the rest of the day unpacking and getting acquainted with some of the three hundred and sixty-'two girls who had come to Girls' State. On Sunday, everyone attended church services and had their pictures taken, one picture of the entire group and one of each city. Sunday evening there were vespers conducted by Reverend Robert Noeve of Norman, then ref ports on Girls' Nation were given by last year's delegates, Governor La Vena Park and Lieutenant Governor Jane Bailey. Classes in government were held every day by Samuel W. Evans, the educational director, and every eve- ning each city held a devotional, which was given by one of its citi- zens. On Monday evening the girls were entertained by Richard Hudnut's Charm Hour . The demonstraters used two of the girls to show ways to use make-up and gave door prizes of cosmetics to a few lucky girls. Tuesday party conventions were to decide the candidates for state offi- cers for each party. Pat Phillips was nominated for Governor by the Sooner party against Judy l-lillier for Conlrntzed on page 101 'Tl-IE QUILL
