Text from Pages 1 - 130 of the 1948 volume:

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SUPERINTENDENT To our patrons, student body, and faculty: We are pleased to present “The Gotebo Chieftain” our first year- book. 1947-48. 1 want to congratulate and thank the entire annual staff and the faculty advisors for the excellent job they have done. It is the result of the untiring efforts and co-operation of the entire staff, student body, facility, patrons, and business men which is typical of the Gotebo Comm- unity. It is an inspiration to work with and serve where such a wonderful spirit of co-operation prevails. I am thankful for such an opportunity. In your observations of the contents of this book which portrays in part the program of your school, ever bear in mind that every accomp- lishment, whether it be mental, moral, social, or physical, is the result of the co-operation of our good patrons, worthy student body, and capable faculty under the direction of your Board of Education, who gave so freely of their time and effort for the good of our school. So in conclusion, let us keep in mind that the child for whom the school was instituted is mental, moral, social, and physical. Consequently our program has for its pur- pose the creating of the opportunity for every child's development and growth in keeping with the great ideals and principles upon which our great nation is builded, “Democracy founded on the true principles of Christianity.' The demands of this new age are great. So let us continue the fine spirit of co-operation of all the forces for good in our community so that it may be made a better place in which to live. May God Bless us in our effort. 1 am with every good wish Your servant, GOTEBO HIGH SCHOOL CHIEF GOTEBO ANNUAL STAFF Editor Jolyne Penn Reporters Ass’t.

For it has come to pass that the veil of the future hath been rent in twain, even as it was so rent in the days of the wise prophets of old, and the Spirit of prophecy hath descended from the spheres to envelop my soul with her mystic power. Aye, I say unto you, men and women, youths and maidens, and little children of Gotebo, it hath been given unto me as the chosen one of this great day, the class of 1948, to dream strange dreams, and to see strange visions of the glories of the years yet to be. Now it so happened when it was decreed that the future of the Class of 1948 was to be given into the hands of this your prophet, to do with even as she listed, that she cried out in a loud voice of lamentation, saying, “Who am 1 that the future of this great and glorious class should depend upon me? What am I that the fate of these most fair and beautiful of damsels, and these most sturdy and noble and manly of youths, should rest upon the decision of one so humble of intellect, and so infirm of purpose?” But behold.' even as the cry of weakness did ascend from the long- suffering soul of your prophet, a voice from the heavens spake unto her, even in the words of old, saying, “Hear now my words. If there be a pro- phet among you, I will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream,” and straightway, from the clouds of the cen- turies gone, and from the shadows already cast away” by the coming events” of the proverb there appeared unto her the fair and lovely Spirit of Prophecy, the angel of Things To Come, and lo, she did with her mystic touch roll back the curtain of the dim Beyond from before my prophetic vision, and did permit me to gaze at will down the long vista of things yet to be, that I might behold all things that now are, transformed into all things that they shall yet become even as it was so granted to the wise men of the past. And Lo! as she drew back the curtain she pointed with a long, trans- parent finger down the avenues of a strange land, and opened her lips and spake unto me, saying: “Look! Listen! Prophecy unto the young men and women of Gotebo High School even these things which you herein behold.” So, even as St. John, the divine, said unto the world, so I, your prophet of the Class of 1948, do say unto the people of this audience, in this the twentieth century, “Blessed be she that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand! ” For as I looked into the land of the future I could discern moving among the dim shadows of the peoples yet to be, the familiar shapes of Class Prophecy (Continued) those fair and radiant beings who were once my classmates now changed and transformed into citizens of the world outside, even as they had long hoped so to be. And it came to pass that the veil before mine eyes grew yet more and more thin throught the intensity of my vision, and behold 1 could see them, even as if the intervening years were not at all. 1 could see our beloved President; yea; even as today, I could see him in all his dignity and majestic bearing, and his words were heeded by that day and generation even as we today of the Class of 1948 have heeded and attended unto them; for his ambition had led him ever upward and on- ward until he was even the Governor of this, his very own and native state. And it came to pass that I also looked into professional circles, and in a large office among many men of many minds sat a prosperous lawyer, the boy who in our High School days had not yet learned to lie. Nay, not even on the right side would Orlando say a word that could be untruly inter- preted. Thus are the mighty brought to lower planes.' And behold as I passed the John Hopkins hospital upon whose door was inscribed, We dress the wounds and God heals them. I saw Jolyne Penn an angel of mercy walking down the dimly lighted corridor. And I also happened to find myself on the inside of a large cathedral where a stately priest in his robes of dignity poured forth words of inspired instruction. Verily, it was Billy Miller himself, who had thus entered into the work of the church. Gazing over the skyscrapers in the great metropolis I could see Rollins Construction Co. in neon lights 6 ft. high and knew then that he was destined to become a chip off the old block. At it came to pass, while I pondered these things in my heart, the door of a home swung open before my vision, and I found therein a household made happy by a wife and mother who had found her: greatest ambition inthe highest of all worldly vocations--the maker and keeper of the home, verily was my soul rejoiced thereat as I gazed my last upon Ola Bee and followed my Spirit of Prophecy further on its quest of the Things To Be. Getting tired and thirsty and seeing a comfortable cottage 1 visioned I could see Colleen Ellis and her 3 children listening to the radio and remem- bering the old Speech Class of the year of 1948 when she had previously heard Chester who was now a great comedian having taken Bob Hopes place and very capable for he was bald-headed too. And it came to pass, even as I watched the home lights die away, that sweet strains of music held my soul entranced by the beauty and perfection of their harmonies, and as I looked about to know whence they came, behold I did find, even as the queen of the world's music, the same one who had so often played the marches for us in High School, Betty Jo, and I felt myself Class Prophecy (Continued) falling into line and keeping step with her martial airs. And as I visioned an unusual car flying low I recognized the driver as being Walter Linstead. It seems he was trying out nontip, rubber-fendered (to prevent dents) cars for Earl Gibson who was inventing them, at an enormous profit. It is a pity he couldn’t have invented them in his high school days. Again my vision changed to the shape of an old man who finally proved to be Mr. Dacus who was now United States Senator from Oklahoma. He was dictating to Roma Lee Shipman his secretary. And behold a change came over the spirit of my dream, and I felt within my heart a strange burning desire to see my old chums, Reta Jane and Anna Mae, till the Spirit of Prophecy, responding to my unspoken wish, conducted me to a bachelor girl apartment in a large foreign city where the two sat by a large fireplace, talking of the past. Reta Jane, now a famous violinist, was calling forth sweet strains from her polished instrument, while Tootsie danced a jig in delightful time to the music, her figure swaying from side to side at the appeal of the fantastic air. Verily, was my heart stirred within me as I saw the vacant chair and noted their frequent anxious glances toward the doorway for the coming of their prophetess to complete the charm- ed circle. And verily, as I beheld this scene and marvelled thereat, thingking Aye, even so shall it straightway come, to pass with each and all of us, lo, the strains of music died away, the veil was drawn over mine eyes, shutt- ing out from my vision the Things To Be, and I turned mine eyes back to the Things That Are, sure that as Coming events cast their shadows before,” only goodness and truth and prosperity shall follow all the days that are to come to the fair and talented members of the Class of 1948. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The history of the class of 1948 is so dramatic and colorful that it resembles a play--one of those modern plays that so skillfully disregard all the rules of the drama. With your kind permission, I, as dramatic critic of the Senior Class will review the play called The Class of 1948” in an absolutely unbiased manner. This is a play in four acts, with three all too brief intermissions. The play was written by the actors as they played their parts under the dir- ection of Mr. Dacus our Superintendent, and a band of capable assistants better known as the faculty. It is produced by the Board of Educaion with the co-operation of the taxpayers and is given by an all-star cast. As all appear at the same time we shall give their names in alphabetical order, A. J. DeBow, Eugene Goff, Orlando Krause, Walter Linstead, William Miller, Archie McCurdy, Floyd Parks, Marion Rollins, Chester Schmidt, John David Shaw, James Lee, Jack Ward, Colleen Anderson, Anna Mae Elledge, Betty Jo Geis, Pauline Hand, Betty Lou Huckalby, Jolyne Pann, Roma Lee Shipman, Wanda June Suggs, Winona Ward, and Reta Jane Hulett. Senior Class History (Continued) This play belongs to no particular classification, being, at various stages--comedy and tragedy. The scenes all take place in the high school building, in the halls, classrooms, auditorium, and gymnasium. The sett- ings are plain, showing signs of much use. Act I shows the arrival of the class in the halls of learning. Their initiation in Dogpatch style affords bright moments for the upper classmen. There is rapidly rising action as the villian puts in an appearance. The villian is called Study and is of alarming size and proportions. It is evident that he will interfere sadly with the enjoyment of the actors. At the close of the act, tragedy seems iminent, as there is a desperate affair a mental crisis created by Study's brother villian, Examinations. But the Freshmen win. The curtain of the first act falls on the rejoicing Freshmen. The actors are pleasing, but decidedly amateurish. After an intermission of three months during which the actors go away on vacations or stay at home and help with the work, the play is re- sumed. During the summer vacation the cast was changed somewhat. Those actors leaving were Archie McCurdy, Floyd Parks, Jaimes Lee, and Pauline Hand. Two actors made their appearance, but stayed on stage only a short time. They were Harvey Sawtelle and Frameis Neal. Act II shows the same scene, but they are now known as Sophomores. There are pleasant diversifications in the form of parties, baseball, and basketball. In this act the members of the cast seem to have achieved a charm, an ease of manner, and a feeling of security that were noticably’lack- ing in Act I. Love affairs are noticed, and the costumes are more elaborate. The action continues to rise until the end of the act, when we again have the inevitable struggle and the crisis brought about by Examinations. Again after a bitter exchange of hostilities, the class wins, thanks to the time spent in preparation. After three months intermission, we stagger in for Act III. The actors are so changed that each act seems like an entirely new play. They are now called Juniors. New actors are Jack Harley who stayed on stage only a short time, W. C. Rhodes, Earl Gibson, and Ola Bee Kimmel, Betty Lou Huckalby, and Gene Goff. The main director this year. Dr. Brewer helps the actors in the search for money for the trip which is to be the c limax of Act III. The de- lightful interludes in the play are the presentation of The Girl in the Fur Coat. parties, and sports. Before the trip is possible it is necessary to face Study’s emissary Examinations and is defeated again. The trip on which the Juniors were hosts and hostesses was enjoyed by all the actors except Anna Mae Elledge. They toured the historical places in nine Southern states. Again an intermission of three months which both audience and actors really enjoy, perhaps because they realize there is but one act to follow. Senior Class History (Continued) The curtain rises on Act IV to find the actors so matured, so at ease, and so changed for the better that they are difficult to recognize. We have grown honestly fond of all the case. There is more comedy that before and there is more delightful interpolations, such as Sneak Day, Hobo Day, Senior Day, The Senior Play, and the usual and unusual parties. The actors who showed promise of being stars now shine brightly. They are as follows: Colleen Anderson, Anna Mae Elledge, Betty Jo Geis, Ola Bee Kimmel Reta Jane Hulett, Jolyne Penn, Wanda Suggs, Roma Lee Shipmen, Orlando Krause, Walter Linstead, Earl Gibson, Billy Miller, Marion Rollins, Chester Schmidt, and John David Shaw. The actors that weathered the villian Study for 12 years were Colleen Anderson, Wanda Suggs, Betty Jo Geis, Jolyne Penn, Chester Schmidt, Billy Miller John David Shaw, and Orlando Krause. They have now finished Study and met face to face, is found to be a friend. The play ends in a burst of glory, with flowers, music, and congratulations, mixed with tears—in short graduation exercises; and we have the well known and ever popular happy ending. SENIOR CLASS WILL Upon behalf of my client, the Senior Class of 1948, of Gotebo High School, State of Oklahoma, I have called you together to listen to her last will and testament, and to recieve from her dying hands the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Realizing that she did not have much longer to live, she did collectively and individually deem it best to distribute these vices and virtures to those friends whose needs they best fill. Owing to the flighty condition of her worn out brain she may show apparent in- justice or partiality in the distribution of her effects. We trust, however, that you will pardon it and realize that it was caused by exhaustion of her brain, which was never over-active. I will appreciate your courteous attention while I read this duly attest- ed will. We, the Senior.Class of 1948, in the town of Gotebo, county of Kiowa, and State of Oklahoma, being in as good mental condition as usual and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this our last will and testa- ment rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. We are in such complete accord, sticking together and seldom think- ing, that in this manner dispose of our possessions. We give and bequeath to the Junior Class our sponsor Mr. Dacus, who hope will have a much easier time getting you through your last year with serious casualties than he did when he undertook to get us through. We also leave to the Junior Class our most important, and valuable properties namely our self-satisfaction, our importance and our wisdom all of which we possess in enormous quantities. We also leave the art of play- ing hooky and sometimes getting by with it. Senior Class Will (Continued) To the Sophomore Class as a whole, we leave our ability to swipe pencils and paper, also our patience. They will have to have some to put up with the seniors of next year. To the Freshmen Class we leave the hope that they will have as happy a four years as we have had. To the faculty we leave our sincere wishes and thanks for all the information that we have gathered from our examinations and papers and the said information may be used as they see fit. To Mr. Phillips, our Janitor, we leave all of our gum hid under the seats, desks, and ets., also, all of the mud deposited in the corners the last four years. To the lunchroom ladies we leave our appetites which they can dis- tribute out among the weaker generation. Besides these bequests of the class as a whole the various individuals also give and bequeath the following: Betty Jo Wills her personality and cute giggle to Tommy Spottedhorse. Wanda June wills her height to Eddie Reynolds and pretty clothes to Athalie. Jolyne wills her influence over Mr. Oacus to Daniel Lindsey ( she says it isn’t very hard all it takes is Psychology.) Reta Jane wills her ability to get Mr. Dacus off of Psychology on to Politics to Jake Wright. Colleen wills her size and temper to Jane Duty Anna Mae wills her intelligence and personality to Keith Peters. Orlando wills his place to being center on the Basketball team to Ronald Schmidt. Walter wills his ability to borrow Mr. Dacus car to Denny Haxton. Earl wills his good luck in driving and his interest in Carnegie to Willard Ward. Billy wills his Toni wave to Gearl Harris Johnnie wills getting by at throwing erasers to Charles Weiss (just keep them hid in your pocket Charles and deny it if you are caught). Senior Class Will (Continued) Marion wills his black curly hair to R. C. Shafer. As for Chester and l--we will the tiring brain work and writing of this will to the unlucky one who gets it next year SENIOR CLASS POEM The time has come for us to go Along a road we’ve yet to know; At last our goal is won. But our greatest task has just begun. We’ve had our fun, Days filled with pleasure; Each memory lingers on. One we'll always treasure. We shall never drift at ease Out in this world, this busy stream; For our school days are now over, School days filled with idle dreams. Exciting, yet it makes us sad To think of Graduation Day; To mix forever with the world outside Where friends will help us on our way. Each shall take his place in life With a heart for any fate; We must learn to work and strive, Strive to reach that labored wait. We must never stop nor falter When the storms of life begin; But with hearts, brave and cheerful We must work and fight to win. Out along life’s highways When our hearts are feeling low. We will smile as we remember The fun we had at Gotebo.

Jake---------God Bless ma, God bless pa, God bless me, Rah: Rah: Rah.’ Mr. Tuttle: Why do you call your wife angel? Mr. Humphries: Because she's always ready to fly, she's continually harping, and she never has an earthly thing to wear. Darrel Laufer had been very much occupied all by himself in study hall. Doggone, he exclaimed, if I haven't learned to write. Mr. Reynolds got up and looked over the paper. “What does it say?” he asked. I don't-know , replied Darrel, “I haven’t learned to read it yet.’ Reta Jane— I'm going to be a good actress.” Anna Mae— Are you taking dramatic lessons?” Reta Jane— No but I’m washing my stockings in Lux every night. SPRING Spring is sprung, The grass is rez, I wonder where the daisies is. Fall has fell. Winter’s went And it wasn't an accident. Betty Joe, nervously: Please, sir, I think you are wanted on the phone. Mr. Dacus: You think' What makes you say, I think? Betty Joe: Well sir, someone at the other end said: Is that you, you old Buzzard? Kyle Wallace came into the school room one morning plainly excited. Yes Kyle, what is it? exclaimed Miss Card.

Charles--------- Sure, Fairy Tales.” The examination.” said Mrs. Venard, Will be conducted on the honor system. Please sit three seats apart and in alternate rows. Oklahoma Weather Teenagers It's constantly changing and comes in a blast. That Oklahoma weather will always last. It’s speedy and frightful There'll be a dust storm or else a big hail. Sometimes it rains or sometimes snows, That Oklahoma weather it never slow. R. C. Shafer, Jr. Class The Mountains Did you ever live in the mountains, And look at nature's home Where the springs are fountains. That’s where I long to roam. The mountains haven't many trees. But there is plenty of brush. Where if you see many of these That's where a spring will rush. In the mountains where the wild life Roams free from any danger. Here the rabbit introduces you to its wife. This is place where there is no anger. When the squirrel returns at night, And finds you near his home. He invites you in for a bite. The mountains are where I long to roam. Alice Block, 8th Grade When the boys are broke, The girls all want a coke. Stocking caps that reach the floor. Oh! Loud socks are such a bore. All like to go to a show, No matter how hard the winds blow. The girls all swoon and sigh. When Grable goes passing by. The boys all beg, For another look at Grables legs. Girls like the new look. Boys would rather read a comic book. My! How teenages have changed. Blue jeans are gone. Boys are glad. Long skirts are here. Boys are sad. From shirt tails out to shirt tails in, From sunburned nose to nice smooth skin. Boys crew hair cuts are long gone by. Girls pin their hair up high. Gone are jitterbug days for a smooth waltz. Gone are banana splits also malts. Teenagers are now civilized. Advertising the new look merchandise. The good old days long since gone by.
