Vi ✓ V it TO OUR SENIOR TIGERLANDER, GEORGE ELLISON With the deepest feeling of affection and respect, the 1955 El Tigre salutes George Ellison, eldest member of the Guymon School Board, and dedicates to him this Tour Through Tigerland . For this is a Tigerland which owes much to his generation and to him, a devoted pioneer of public affairs in the Oklahoma Pan- handle. A veteran of the Soanish American War, Mr. Ellison was a young man in his early twenties when he came to Guymon in 1901. As a pioneer grocer and banker and active booster of early civic, fraternal, and business projects, he helped to shape the Guymon of today. It was on his retirement from active business in 1942 that Mr. Ellison first assumed his duties as treasurer of the School Board, a position which he has filled competently and carefully through the ensuing years. George Ellison and his charming wife, Carrie, are the parents of four daughters, all graduates of Guy- mon High School — Helen Ellison Ingles, Irene Ellison Sweet, Gaynelle Ellison Hood, and Delores Ellison Brown. Four of the Ellison grandchildren are also GHS graduates of recent years — Georganna Sweet Dix- on, Earline Henderson Meyer, Eleanor Sweet Faris, and Vernon'Henderson. To George Ellison, a hale and hearty friend and honorary Tigerlander, Guymon High School appoints a distinguished seat at its council table through many years to come. —5— FACULTY ANU CLASSES All Tigerland beats a path to the office of Superintendent George W. Spenner. In his graciously appointed new quarters in Old High, he handles the complex affairs of Guymon's school system with sagacity and dispatch. But, successful administrator that he is, always the best interests of the child come first. So he makes Tigerland a pleasant place in which to sojourn for twelve years and to remember always. Our wise awaits BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT! You'll agree that EL TIGRE'S Photographer Roy Qualls has outdone himself in this nostal- gically lovely camera study of Old Faithful , the former GHS. But follow your guides, G-Joe and Jane, through the main entrance for one of Tigerland's greatest surprises. Gone are the creaky floors, the cracked and peeling plaster! Instead, polished beige and ivory tiles ond rich-toned Honduros mahogany panelling lead down the east hall to Mr. Spenner's recep- tion room and office. Alumni who remember these rooms as the old comerce department will be amazed at the quiet elegance of the transformation. Present plans call for the re-finishing of all of Old High's ground-floor classrooms and auditorium Eventually the entire building is to be modernized and returned to use. CMPUREMI or c r Bom G-Joe and Jane—yes, and Tagger too—are very important to GHS' Princi- pal C. S. Hacker. His business is recognizing the problems of high school boys and girls and knowing how to guide his young friends toward the best pos- sible solutions. No student or faculty member ever hesitates to unload his burdens on Principal Hacker's broad shoulders. Six years' acquaintance with this genial gentleman has proved to Senior High and Guymon-at-large that Mr. Hacker is a real Tigerlander. SPACE IS SENIOR HIGH'S KEYNOTE. The brood planes ond long arms of the year-old Senior High Building seem to beckon you, as G-Joe and Jane lead you through the asphalt play area ond across the street to the west. Opening the big blue Senior High front doors, you survey one of the most unusual school interiors in the Nation. Tigerland's great block-long circulating area with its sunny, all-glass south wall lies before you! On most days the orea is completely bare for unimpeded movement, but it can be quickly furnished for free study, lounging, and games, or turned into an impromptu assembling place for pep rallies, devotiorals, or sing-songs. No Tigerlander will ever forget its star-spangled Wonderland appearance at the 1954 Junior Prom, or its homey holiday air at cur first Senior High Christmas party. Wide , tee as our prairies ! —9— The deep brown eyes of Central Junior High's Principal E. M. Alden light up as he sees us in his doorway. He remembers the time G-Joe skipped school and was sent to his office. And G-Joe recalls how firm Mr. Alden was, but how just, and how right. Tigerlanders are all better citizens for three years of association with quiet, spiritually minded Mr. Alden. an J cad on (Carrier. In Academy Elementary Building, we call on Mr. Frank Carrier, who in 1949 took over the principal's duties in Guymon's three—soon-to-be four—elemen- tary schools. Next year the first crop of Carrier Kittens will reach junior high as Tiger Cubs, bearing the impress of Mr. Carrier's kindness and under- standing, qualities he imparts not only to his boys and girls, but to the elemen- tary faculty as well. WHICH WAY DO WE GO? If Tagger has his way, G-Joe and Jane will sign up for sports directed by Tigerland's com- petent coaching staff, shown here in their cozy office in the campus garage. There's football coach Dick Noble, former Oklahoma City University athlete and graduate, ond Vernon Yates, basketball mentor, a Hank Ibo roundball star from Oklahoma A ond M. At the right ore our handsome coaching couple, Mr. and Mrs. Coy Gibson. Cub Coach Gibson has his B.S. from East Central at Ada. Mrs. Gibson, who directs girls' physical education in junior and senior high, is a Northerner from the University of North Dakota. THESE ARE SUPER SALESMEN! Observe the personality, charm, and come-hither our activity directors ore demonstrating for Joe and Jane! Will it be band with Oklahoma City University's George Ryan, or Pep Club with OU's Mrs. Grester LaMar, who also teaches junior English? Or shall our Tigerlanders go slightly long-hair in Mrs. Herman Henderson's orchestra or Hoover Fisher's choir? Mrs. Henderson has her B. S. in Music Education from Kansas State Teachers College, Emporio. Mr. Fisher has both his B. M. E. and M. S. from OAMC. Stillwater. Our teacherS Sponsor activities and edasses . . . OH, MONEY, MONEY! Those satisfied looks on the senior sponsors' faces indicate that the half way mark of $1500 has been reached, and the annual Lake Murray class trip is virtually in the bag. Mrs. Victor Martin, senior English teacher and publications' adviser, is a graduate of South- western College, Winfield, Kansas. Wayne Howland is one of Tigerland's nine Oklahoma Aggies and teoches short- hand and bookkeeping. Miss Aleida Robinson, typing teacher, has her A. B. from PAMC. WHAT'S THE PRICE OF PAPER? Mrs. R. J. Herbel and Miss Margaret Wright, both Pamsey graduates, hove quite a reputation as junior class sponsors. They have figured ban- quet and prom expenses to the fine point without sacrificing any of the splendors of these two Tigerlond main events. Incidentally they find the time and energy to teach innumer- able sections of American history and driver training. —13— SOPHOMORE CLASS SPONSORS! Robert Allison and Harold Hunnicutt show Mrs. Hunnicutt, re- cent bride and Old High office receptionist, the sophie Haze Daze pictures. Mr. Allison, sopho- more English teacher, is a Bethany Peniel College graduate. Geometry and physics teacher Mr. Hunni- cutt is a graduate and loyal booster of O. U. and the Big Red. Mrs. Hunnicutt has her B. S. from Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas. ENGLISH AND SPEECH ARTS ARE ALLIES. Mrs. D. K. Adams and James Roach explain tape recording techniques to Miss Alvena Brillhart and Miss Mildred Russell, ninth and seventh grade English teachers. Mrs. Adams, a PAMC graduate, divides her day between high school drama and eighth grade English. Mr. Roach, radio and debate coach, has his M. S. from Colorado University at Boulder. Miss Brillhart is an alumna of the University of Wisconsin, and Miss Russell, of Bethany Peniel. BUSINESS IS THEIR BUSINESS. R. P Duke, trades and industries coordinator, has his Master's degree from the Uni- versity of Oklahoma. Here he confers with Mrs. Grace Alcorn, first semester office receptionist, and Miss Ethel Deakin, custodian of Tigerland's funds. Miss Deakin, who also teaches ad- vanced algebra, has her M. A. from Colorado University. an uoca tions OUR LIBRARIES STRESS VOCATIONS. Vocational guidance materials are never locking in Tigerland. With her M. S. from Konsas State, Mrs. M. C. Ham- ilton is well fitted for her full-time job of providing books on all subjects for junior and senior high students and faculty. Here U. P. Lindley and Mrs. Scotte Hecht check the card files before handing in their annual book request lists for algebra and home- making. Mrs. Hecht graduated from Northwestern at Alva, while Mr. Lindley has a B. S. from South- western, Durant. THEY WORK HAND IN HAND. Robert Meisner, voca- tional agriculture instructor, and his shop teoching neighbor, Donald King, are both Oklohomo Aggies. They know boys, they would like to see every Pan- handle boy a successful former, and Mr. King would insist that every farmer make himself more self-suf- ficient by his shop skills. WHAT IS IT LIKE TO TEACH ART? Gerry Bartels, pub- lications' artist and prospective art teacher, chats with Mrs. R. L. Holland about the ups and downs of teaching this popular Tigerland subject. Mrs. Holland, one of our five PAMC graduates, is showing Gerry something that makes ony teacher's job more rewarding—new equipment—this time her favorite leathercraft tools. TWO CAN LIVE CHEAPER THAN ONE. Especially if both are teachers! Mr. and Mrs. Roger Davy and Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Lee are two of Guymon Public Schools' ten man-and-wife teaching teams. Mrs. Davy teaches science in junior high, Mr. Davy in high school. They are both Oklahoma Aggies, and Mrs. Davy also has an M. S. from OAMC. The Lees have degrees from Northwestern at Alva, ond Mr. Lee an M.A. from Colorado State at Greeley. Mrs. Lee has seventh and eighth grade mathematics; Mr. Lee, junior high social subjects. WE STAND READY! If a Tigerland teacher sprains an ankle, loses his voice, or just can't make it, we have some very competent substitutes to fill the gap. Mrs. Elmer Shackelford, a graduate of Northwestern at Alva, was a pinch- hitter during the first semester and joined our regular junior high staff as a speech teacher in January. Mrs. Joe Hilty and Mrs. Joe Lane, both PAMC alumnoe, are always available and able for teaching Tigers, Cubs, or Kittens. LET ER BLOW! Even the ever-present menace of a Tigerland duster holds no terrors for our custodians since the purchose of this new model Dust Dragon. Harry Burgess of Senior High finds it just the ticket for his louvred hall walls. And along about the last of February, Central's R. E. Yates, Old High's Harvey Ivie, and Academy's E. W. Sullens will be hustling the big dust gulper for their buildings. LOOK TO THE LADIES! Come 11:55 every day G-Joe and Jane get the food fidgets. If you are anywhere about, they will ask you to join them on a Tigerland safari to Academy Lunchroom. Don't let anyone tell you that too many cooks spoil the broth! Here are a bevy of cooks who make everything they prepare look and taste better—Mesdames Floyd Music, Henry Wilcox, Virgie Barker, Glen Ramey. John Sanders, and E. W. Sullens. an J matte Jicjerfand a qooc! place to L 9°°' place —17— teach erA orroiv. TEACHING TAKES A FORWARD STEP. In this dozen senior prospective teachers, you con see that the classrooms of tomorrow are going to be pleasant places for the G-Joes ond Janes of the '60's. Standing below the English IV stairs are Pat Higgins, Raylene Duke, Carrie Lou Langston, Lorna Grossman, and Trulia Spragins. Along the rail ore Becky Fowler, Alice Mans, Elinor Meigs, and Anita Lundgrin; ond behind them are Winona Johnson Geraldine Bartels, ond Nadine Calvert. LL SEE ABOUT THAT! Here is Tigerland's Vocational Agriculture Building and Shop, ond a bunch of boys who are going to make farmers' wives out of those prospective teachers above, or know the reason why. Women's place is in the home! STRAIGHT ACROSS FROM SENIOR HIGH! Just east of the new building, on James Street is Tigerland's boom and blow headquarters, the Band Hut, where Director George Ryon, G-Joe, Jane, and other budding musicians hold forth in concert or practice rooms. Elmer or one of his proverbial pals is in evidence, as olways, awaiting a marching session. WHAT'S COOKING IN THE COACHES' OFFICE? Speech Director James Roach, streaking through the September sun, is puzzled, since no classes meet in the Garage Building, but he decides that the little bond of Tiger tribesmen and women are simply seeking the cool shade provided by the Coaches' Office. EL TIGRE PROUDLY PRESENTS PAT WHITE. Guymon High School's sophomore, junior and senior classes deem it a very happy privilege to have the opportuity to express their genuine regard for Pat White by naming her 1955 El Tigre Queen. No El Tigre honoree of re- ce”f has been more deserving of this signal Senior High designation. Pat is treasurer of the Class of '55, member of National 30 u u u Honor S cie,ic and National Forensic League, an outstanding debater and dramatist, known throughout speech circles in high schools in the tri-state area. In March she was named by Anti-Misses, local women's civic club, as Girl of the Month . In the same month she brought additional honors to Guymon and GHS by placing first in the district American Legion Oratorical contest held a Enid. Through a high school career replete with distinctions, Pat has maintained the poised, well-ordered life that is the ideal of every Tigerlander. at lAJ iite, 1955 Jiare C uccn —20— ■deniori Swituj into it... Like their fellow Tigerlanders, the Class of '55 enjoy to the fullest Guymon's annual Pioneer Day, with the pleasant hub-bub and bustle of preparation for 'he thousands of quests who pour into town for the Panhandle's biggest fiesta. G-Joes and Janes turn out in droves for the well- conducted Old Time square dances, which for twelve weeks precede the actual Pioneer Day. Clad in the costumes that are de rigeur for the polka and schottische, senior presi- dent Mike Brown, secretary Geialdine Bartels, treasurer Pat White, and vice-president Larry Keenan wait out an inter- mission.

And as hard as flint toward the plaintiff is the heart of Darline Calvert, who is Nancy Lee Faulkner, the wife of the mur- dered man. With her at the D. A's table sits his secretary, Trulia Spragins. The Bailiff, Max Bailey, sits at one side of Judge Heath, who is Dennis Lile.

Well, well, the Chess Club finally enlisted Max Bailey, and now the problem confronting Donovitch Bromlowsky, senior chess expert, is whether to teach him a Mikhail Tchigorin or a King's Indian-Greun- feld Defense.

In tpite of all of that delicious banquet food, senior fav- orites Raylene Duke and Duane Edenborough, after four hours of prom swing and sway, think it is time for a mid- night snack of ham and eggs. But better get some more plates. Bud the gang is just outside the kitchen door! RAYLENE DUKE is a lovely girl, always smiling, always the same. Ever since she won the senior high nomination as best costumed sophomore at the 1953 Haze Daze assembly, every- one has known just who this tall, willowy beauty is. For the past two years, she has helped to spice the orchestra and Pep Band with her excellent clarinet playing, and she is a striking twirler in the Tiger Band. No less accomplished in vocal music, Raylene has appeared in two major operettas, this year singing the role of Peep-Bo in The Mikado . She is a member of the girls' quartette and gives much of her time to choral work in her church. Pretty, peppy, and ladylike, Raylene is a G-Jane of whom we are all proud. BUD EDENBOROUGH (no one calls him Duane ) is the kind of boy who gets things done. Sometimes the seniors thought Bud, who was senior concession chairman, was pretty hard on them when he fussed if they missed a work session. But when the votes for the most popular boy in the Class of '55 were in. Bud was the boy they liked best. Bud played football in his freshman and sophomore years and basketball for three years. He sang in the choir one year too, but this year he was a one job man, and that job was the senior stand. Aside from his unique attacks on the King's English, Bud is a good student. Things just aint going to be the same without him. —3S— LAVOY SHEPHERD - Girls P.E.2; T l 4.

He was always a game fighter who loved sports. If Ward didn't make a team, he was glad to serve as manager, because he had the Tiger spirit to the very last. Tuesday afternoon, March 29, all Tigerland — old grads, seniors of his Class of '55, his brother DeMolays, juniors, sophomores, faculty-- all who knew and loved him attended his funeral in the auditorium of Senior High, for his church could not hold his myriads of friends. And the Class of '55 knows that he will be with us in spirit in the auditorium again when, in cap and gown, we re- ceive our diplomas on Thursday, May 26. PEGGY WATKIN.

Oi saiiiAiiov WE GO WHERE THE TIGERS GO! Director George A. Ryan and the Guymon High School Band have ret new records this year for enthusiastic backing of our Tigerland sports program. Who can forget the wonderful pep assemblies, where the entire organiza- tion fired the student body and players with the old-time Tiger spirit. In addition to playing and performing in half- time demon- strations at all home football games, the big band made several profitable trips into nearby states. On September 24, they rep- resented the City of Guymon at the Amarillo State Fair. On October 15, the group were all on hand to back the Tigers in Ulysaes, Kansas, and again, in Alva for the Tiger-Goldbug grid- iron battle. Mr. Ryan a former Musician First Class in the U. S. Navy Band, took the Tiger musical aggregation to Liberal on October 18, when the famous service band played in the nearby Kansas city. Along with the Pep Club and football team, the band took part in tthe elaborate coronation Ceremony at the Tiger-Redskin Homecoming game with Liberal, Kansas, Friday, Nov. 5. As in years past, during the first semester, the group made a concert appearance at KGYN radio station for broadcast in this area. A BASKETBALL DRAWING CARD. As the roundball season got underway in December, tthe newly formed Tiger Pep Band, drawn from the larger organization, began to loom large on the Tigerland horizon. Very much in evidence at all home basketball games, with Director Ryan himself on the brass horn, the Pep Band had a great deal to do with the very successful Tiger cage season. When the new Guymon City Hall was dedicated on Jan- uary 30, the entire GHS Band was on the program at the re- quest of Mayor Fred Willoughby. One of the major accomplish- ments of the band was not an actual appearance themselves, but the presentation of the famous Tex Beneke Music in the Mood Band in tthe Senior High Auditorium, March 1. Band members put over a publicity drive, sold tickets, and packed the audi- torium, for a new high in attendance at a GHS musical event. The GHS Band rounded out their year's work with attendance at a Band Clinic in Liberal in March, participation in the District Band in the Senior High Auditorium, March 1.

With three such beautiful and talented candidates for their 1955 Choir Sweetheart, Director Hoover Fisher's Senior High vocalists must have had a real problem in deciding on the Lady of the Heart when they honored Betty Jo Wallin in their second Annual Sweetheart Concert, Thurs- day, March 24. Music and Betty Joe are synonymous. Where- ever there is music and song in GHS, you are sure to find hei, at the piano, in the band and orchestra, or singing herself. As an accompanist, she has been so qracious through he� years in junior high and high school, always ready for rehearsals, always willing to go over and over difficult parts with anyone who wants to im- prove in a vocal or instrumental number. Betty is as much a part of such groups as Tigerland's famous Phyldarae Trio as the singers themselves. Because even excellent accompanists often go unappreciated, we congratulate the choir on their lovely 1955 Sweetheart, Betty Jo Wallin. RUNNER-UP, OARLINE SUL LENS CAlVBtT The Da' ot the Phyldarae's, Mrs. Donald Calvert, is one of GHS' most accomplished vocalists, and violinists. RUNNER-UP. PHYLUS WOOD CLAY COMA.

Seated members of the cast are Raylene Duke, Betty Wallin, Carrie Lou Langston, Pat White, Becky Fowler, Darline Calvert, Phyllis Claycomb, Trulia Spragins, Pat Higgins, and Rosie Rye. c Speech kits its stride ! GIVE US THE AIR! No need to worry about the mike manners of this experienced team of newscasters from Jim Roach's radio classes.

WANT TO LOSE AN ARGUMENT? That's just what you'll do if you cross words with the 1954-55 debate squad. They were consistent winners in debate tourneys throughout the year, beginning with a first and second place rating at the October PAMC Meet, a second place at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee in December, a first at the KO Conference at Hays, Kansas, in January, a first in the girls' division at Amarillo, Texas, also in January, and a first and second place at the March Northwest Intact Tournament at Waynoka. Debaters shown here are Virginia Sturdivan, Tommy Medley, Lyman Smith, Larry Sturdivan, Judy Noonan, Lorna Grossman, Bob Neville, Pat White. Larry Keenan, Mike Belanger, Larry Morris, Jimmy Quinn, and Ernest Hight. TIGERLAND TROPHY TAKERS! Debaters Pat White and Rosie Rye and their coach, James Roach, make a practice of bringing home trophies from the KO Conference. The girls were adjudged best debaters in the Kansas-Oklahoma Meet at Hays, Kansas in January, the third such annual win for Guymon debaters, and the second win for Pat ad Rosie. For the 1954 -55 season, the two girls marked up a 20-2 record for wins and losses! A CLEAN SWEEP AT WAYNOKA! On March 7, GHS speech students, with Mrs. Adams, Mr. Roach, and PAMC student teacher, William Crisswell, won this beautiful sweepstakes trophy at the North- west Intact Meet at Waynoka. In addition to several second and third place winners, Guymon rated firsts in one act play, de- bate, girls' extemporaneous speaking, original ora tion, and humorous reading. —93- } f h NOT TOO OLD FOR DOLLS.

Coach Noble's fine training progrom did much to prevent major injuries in '54. Bobby Bromlow, stocky 160 pound senior guard, was a spark plug at '54 defense. Tiger center Raymond Buhl's heads-up play made the 1 55 pound junior a '54 star. Although out with injuries during a part of the season, 1 55 pound C. J. Wilkinson, a senior, was a rock on defense. (Below) Bobby Pickard, 1 50 pound sopho- more reserve, is an up-and-comer in the line. 54 just waMi t our year. Tigar fan� who kept their crying towels pretty well soaked over 1953's 2-7 football record didn't have their spirits raised greatly at 1954's 3-7 write-off. With a team made up largely of under- classmen and first year men. Coach Dick Noble and his assistant, Vernon Yates, were con- fronted with mighty KO and northwestern state opposition. Guymon Boosters hopes leapt high when the Noble men turned in a resounding 12-0 victory in their season's opener September 10 with the scrappy Wildcats at Boise City. But the Tigers established what was to become a habit when they dropped a home game with the rugged Dalhart, Texas, Wolves, 39-25 on September 17. Traveling seemed to inspire the Bengals, as they next blew away the Beaver Dusters in a thrill packed 14-12 game there on the night of September 24. Perhaps the best losing effort was turned in October 1 against the Wood- ward Boomers who, though hard pressed, came out on top of a 19-12 score. On the next week end at home, the Tiger fans watched what was rated a pre-game cinch turn into a debacle, as a greatly im- proved bunch from St. Mary's-of-the-Plains, Dodge City, Kansas, avenged last year's walloping by a 19-12 score. The now thor- oughly aroused Tigers bounded back and pummelled the Ulysses Tigers in the Kansas town 25-7 on October 15. Facing the first of the Big Four in their schedule on October 22, the Tigers were stung by the Alva Goldbugs there 20-7. Again on the road, the Bengals were turned back by a powerul Hays Cadet aggregation 22-6, on October 28. Completing a record of never winning a '54 home game, the Orange and Black gave the Liberal Red- skins the long end of a 39-12 Homecoming score and bowed out with a 52-6 loss to the Garden City Buffaloes on November 12. Statistic-wise the Tiger record did not look so black. The Bengals attempted 71 passes and completed 36, to a 45-24 mark for their opponents. The Tiger punt average was 32.2 to 31.2 for their foes. They tallied 115 first downs to 121 for the opposition, and had 374 yards passing to 399 for their opponents. But it was on the ground where the Orange and Black bogged down. The GHS tally shows 2658 yards rushing to a strong 3186 for their assailant . The Tigers' total score for '54 was 131-235 for their foes. TAGGER TRIES A TACKLE!

Two big sophomore reserve linemen with lots of fight and stamino are 170 pound Joe Rccsc and 175 pound Wallace Cluck, who will be out to get 'em in '55. 1 50 pound Don Carpenter looked good when he went in os a sophomore linemon this year. Sturdy ond solid, 165 pound sophomore reserve linemon Don Henderson looks ond acts like a future Tiger power plant. Bobby Denney, 125 pound junior reserve bock, is another likely candidate for a regular berth in '55. 130 pound Tommy Le Master, though still a little light, had that real Tiger start-and-go os a '54 sophomore end. Senior end Jim Samples, 170 pounder, mode his experience count in '54 on defensive play. 1 75 pound senior Den- nis Lightfoot Lite was the team's fastest runner, making touchdown jounts of 98, 90, and 50 yards in the Dalhart game. DALHART'S WOLVES GO BERRY HUNTING! But they find Tiger halfback Stanley Berry a hard man to pick, although the Loboes wound up by corrying a 39-25 win bock to Texas from the first home game September 17. Berry, a senior, moved from Guymon and did not complete the season. Fike Morgan, 165 pound junior quar- terback, did an outstanding job as field general of the Tiger forces in 1954. Ted Miller, 160 pound sophomore, will be ready to throw a block or cotch a pass like a veteron in '55. ALL HAIL, QUEEN CLEVA!

Although the Orange and Black also dropped their Festival game to Clinton, 43 - 32, the Tigerland spectators knew that this sophomore sparked home club wa3 going to be a team to watch in the months ahead. The Yatesmen had opened the season at home on December 1, when they took on a strong Capitol Hill Redskin team from Oklahoma City. The scrappy little Tigers played the Skins even until the OC experience began to tell, and tl game ended with the Tigers on the short end of a 53 • 45 score. The next night the surprising Tigers, playing their sec- ond Class AA team in two nights, bounced back to the de- light of Guymon fans, and scalped the highly rated Enid Plainsmen, 48 - 46. On a road swing December 3, the Tigers played one of their worst games of the year, losing to the Amarillo, Texas, Golden Sandies, 78 - 40. This game closed out a week of furious, big-time basketball. On December 7 the Tigers ventured to Ulysses where they were able to even up their Decefber record by clawing the Kansas Tigers, 61 - 54. On December 11, the Bengals again struck out of state, this time swatting the Clayton, New Mex- ico, Yellowjackets, 49 - 43. Returning home for two games, the Tigers clipped the Hugoton, Kansas, Eagles, 63-44, on December 14, but again took a pommelling from the Am- arillo Sandstorm, 43 - 34, on December 17. The Tigers, meeting the Plainsmen at Enid on December 21, were unable to repeat the earlier victory and were trounced 65 - 50. December's record, in spite of a rugged schedule replete with Class AA opponents, stood at five wins and six losses. TIGERS BOW TO BLACKWELL. The powerful Blackwell Maroons, wound up the season in the Class A state semi-finals, hit their stri early when they edged the Tigers, 40 - 38, in the local Christmas FeJ val, December 29.

K-O Conference play for the Tigers got under way on January 8 with a 63 - 50 win over the Redskins at Liberal, Kansas. The Skins were destined to wind up the season in the K-O cellar, while the Tigers went on to place second to a Hays, Kansas Cadet team later ranked in the Kansas state play-offs. On January 14 and 15, the Tigers dropped two straight games to the virile Kan sas Cadets, 66-49 and 59-42, the last Bengal losses of the season in regular play. With a resounding 81-66 win over the Hugoton Eagles on Jan uary 18, the Tigers moved into the win column where they were to remain for thirteen straight games, only to be toppled by Blackwell, the Maroon jinx, in the state regional play offs. Bal- ancing their K-O Conference record for wins and losses with a 61---53 defeat of the Buffalos from Garden City, Kansas, on January 21, the Tigers forged ahead with a second win over the same team, 57—51, on January 28. On January 29 the Yatesmen hosted an unknown quantity in the Scott City, Kansas, Beavers, but GHS had one of its best nights in the shooting gallery and downed the Kansans by a 66—46 score. This victory closed out the January accounts with the Tiger record now 10—8 for wins and losses. GOOD START IN THE K-O! Sophomore David Hale, Tiger high point sharpshooter, lays up a sure thing in the Liberal Red- skin local K—O opener January 8. Bengals, Max Dearing and Tim Neas are ready to ditto Hale's hooper to help pile up the final count of 63—50, a win for GHS. Jim Samples — Senior Forward. Team Captain. Six feet tall.

It'� Tiger eat Tiger, as Ulysses and Guymon battle for supremacy in one of the closest con- tests of the year in Central Gym February 1. Tiger captain Jim Samples is in the middle of the scramble with Max Dearing, number 30, and David Hale, 25, helping to pile up the slim 53—49 win for the Yatesmen. —113— The Golden Tigers in February stretched out their victory string to an even dozen wins and ended the regular season's play with an 18—8 win-loss tally: Going into the month, on February 1 the Yatesmen slipped by Ulysses in a return game with the Kansas Tigers here, 53—49. On the week-end of February 4—5, the Tigers sailed through the Northwestern State Tournament at Alva with victories over Alva, 59—37, Cherokee, 48—41, and Mooreland 72—59 to bring home the first place trophy (see next page). Returning home for a three game stand, the roaring Tigers proceeded to clinch second place in the K—O Conference with a 4—2 record by again defeating Liberal, this time by a score of 65—57 on February 8. Three days later, Clayton's Yellowjackets invaded Guymon and went home dragging a 61—51 defeat. The Bengal� rounded out the month's basket- ball play by sweeping out the Dusters from Beaver twice, •76—52 on February 19, and 53—42 on February 22. The Yates men had chalked up a perfect score and twelve straight wins for 1954-55. David Hale — Sophomore center. Six feet three inches tall. Average points per game 14.3. Free throws 49 per- cent.

TIGERS MAKE REGIONAL FINALS GAMFl C • r'9'rs 53 poi :' ,in.( nigr.f, counting 2? o CONGRATULATIONS, COACH YATESI In his six years as Tiger basketball coach, Vernon Yates has consistently turned out accurate hitting, fast breaking, well -trained cage teams. One mark of his ability to train roundball teams is that his boys invariably finish their schedule with a strong win streak, improving steadily through the season. The 1955 record of 19 games won to nine lost is one of which any coach could well be proud. THE NORTHWESTERN TOURNAMENT TROPHY. Tiger cag ers defeated Alva, Cherokee, and Mooreland to bring this handsome trophy home from Alva in February. Unopposed in the district, Guymon Tigers automatically moved into the Class A Regional Play-offs at Black- well, February 11-12. Riding their 12 game win streak, the Yatesmen exploded the unlucky thirteen theory when they drew a first round bye and then went on to defeat Perry in the semi-finals, 79—53. Senior Ralph Ralstin, with his precision at the free throw line, was high point man for the game. In The Saturday night finals, the Tigers were matched with the Blackwell Maroons, who had beaten Alva the night before. Although the Tigers had made a very cred- itable showing against Blackwell in December, the Yates- men were ice-cold at the basket and lost the game and the regional championship by a decisive 72—49 score. Much May be expected from this young Tiger team in 1955—56. Only Jim Samples, Ralph Ralstin, and Johnny Moreland were seniors on the first eleven. Three juniors Tim Neas, Percy Tomlinson, and Tom Fulton - - and four sophomores - David Hale, Max Dearing, Richard Dickerson, Ted Miller - - all of the first eleven, will be back on the birch boards when the season opens in GHS next year. —11 TIGER B'S WERE BUZZING TOO! Coach Dick Noble's B basketball team, with a good record of eight wins to eight losses, provided some scintillating clo e finishes to stir the pulses of pre-game crowds this sea- son. The boys posted two wins each over Clayton, Hugoton, and Beaver, and one win each over Liberal and Hays. They dropped two games each to Ulysses, Amarillo, and Garden City, and one each to Liberal and Hays. Kneeling are Don Carpenter, Gary Wingard, Robert Hutchinson, and Jimmy Claycomb. Standing are Jack Moreland, Dean Gribble, Wendell Williams, Jim Lee, Gerald Barker, and manager Ira Bromlow. CUBS MARK UP AN 18—1 RECORD. Coach Coy Gibson's dynamic little ninth grade Cubs year after year show up with fine season records.
