take shorthand BUSINESS IS HIS BUSINESS. Another Oklahoman is our business teacher, Wayne Howland completing his second year in GHS this spring. Mr. Howland teaches shorthand, bookkeeping, and a combined civics-Oklahoma History course. He manages to keep his classes alert and busy, laying particular stress on the needs of the pupil when he is employed in office work after graduation. Mr. Howland is also one of three senior sponsors, giving his attentions particularly to the supervision of the senior interests in the con- cession stand. Wayne Lester Howland was born at Waukita and graduated from Gore High School, at Jeffer- son. After completing business courses at Ameri- can Business College, Wichita, Kansas, he earned a BS degree from Oklahoma A and M. He returned to Gore High School as an instructor and taught there four years before coming to Guymon. Mr. Howland and his wife, a surgical nurse at Guymon’s Municipal Hospital, have one small daughter, Frances Gail, born here last spring. The Howlands like travel and plan to see all of the United States at least when Frances Gail can enjoy the sights too. Mr. Howland’s hobby is photog- raphy, and he says. “If I ever make my first million, I m going to have all the photographic equipment I’d like to have now. “What is your ambition, Mr. Howland?” El Tigre’s faculty interviewer, Bobbie Sue Stewart, asked him. He flashed his very pleasant smile and replied, “I’d like to grow old gracefully!” MERLIN HOWELL Publications 4; Oklahoma Honor Society 2,3,4; Pep Club 3,4; Debate 2; N.F.L. 2; Con- cession Stand Committee Chair- man 4.

STRICTLY BUSINESS! Carried away by the recent SEP coke ad, the busiest pair in the senior class, Gail Crowder and Robert Northrup, try out the idea for their El Tigre Boy-and-Girl-of-the-Year picture. “But we can’t be on the honors page; we’re on staff!’’ they both protested, when they learned that the Class of ’56 had named them as this year’s favorites. However, the rest of the staff felt that they had richly merited this honor, so in spite of their protests, here they are! Gail, who entered Guymon schools when she was a third grader, has been in the thick of things ever since. Band, orchestra, drama, pep club, and publications all have used her great leadership qualities. Consistently an honor and All-A student, she is a member of National 1 lonor Society and Oklahoma I lonor Society. Last year her efficiency and orig- inality as associate editor of Tiger Talcs earned for her the big job of editing Tigerland’s largest yearbook, the 1956 El Tigre, a task she has completed with unflurried ease. “Corky” Northrup has been just as efficient with his assignment as advertising manager for El Tigre. I le made short work of the thousand dollar campaign and immediately plunged into sales and circulation. Every' faculty member knows that if there is some liaison work between school and town. Corky is the man for it. Popular with all of Tigerland, Corky also belongs to NEIS, came up with high eligibility for the U. S. team up with Gail and Corky —26—
