SENIOR HIGH VISTAS TIGERLAND’S FRONT DOOR The big blue doors and spacious landing fronting on James Street invite GHS students to pause and sit awhile for a friendly visit or to wait for their school buses.

In the Fine Arts and Administration Building, Ike Darnell keeps the oldest building on our campus bright and shining. Central Junior High School has a special waxed and polished appearance with its new custodian, Taylor Childress. Another new comer to the clean-up group is Pat Patton, who is entrusted with the difficult task of caring for Tigerland’s House of Glass,” the new Senior High. Hank Cannon, who is wearing his hat so that you will know him, is here, there and everywhere—in the Band Hut, Cafeteria, and even in Grade School a part of the day.

SEPTEMBER SO SOON 16 ROY SLIPPED UP ON US Straggling in to opening assembly September 6, the Class of ’61 was not exactly ready for Cameraman Roy Quail's candid shot. Gene Reed looks dubious as Jim Yancey searches for a non-existent beard. Preston Thompson and his aching molar find a sympathetic observer in Jerry Samples. That snazzy Fall sweater is already choking Robert Jones, and his new pal Gerald Hamilton couldn’t care less. Only Mike Holland and Gerald Clcmans muster smiles for the birdie, while Lynda Tyler tries frantically to get an El Tigre pic.

If his luck holds out. Dale will never need to buy beef. QUEEN CONTEST IN THE BAG Although no one can ever be sure until the last votes are counted, weary senior workers who contributed their lunch money to the Queen Fund and brought sack lunches that last day, had already chalked up a decisive victory margin. IB ;S � • STRICTLY FOR THE BIRDS If Bob Buford’s beautiful Weimaraner, Fritz, could talk, he’d use some doggy swear words to tell Bob, Robert Jones, and Doug McDowell just what he thinks of their choice of a pheasant hunting ground.

Thanks to a far-sighted committee and hard working draftees like Judy Reese, Sharon Birt, Pat Meigs, Vernon Gotcher, and Rodney Childress, both stand fun and finances soared to an all time high for the football season. 21 ANYBODY FOR A COUPLE OF GOOD NIXON HATS? Class of ’61-ers. united on all vital fronts, split company in November to back their party candidates. No doubt about Gene Reed and Ann Belanger’s choice, while Nancy Pickett and Jim Mallard are vastly satisfied with the late returns. Republican or Democrat, Nixon or Kennedy boosters, David Krug and Judy Reece look happy, but from those grim expressions, Lynn Matzek and Jerry Samples may secede.

FROM SANTA AND IAOONNA 28 TRYING IT ON FOR SI2.E That impish grin on the faces of Dwaina Sanford, Clco Hoover, and Byron Gibson bodes no good for this City Park tree. However, never fear; they wouldn’t dare use the axe. Unauthorized cutting of public trees is another of the many sure ways of not getting a signed and delivered high school diploma.

SO MANY PLACES TO LOOK Good grades aren’t the result of reading just the assigned lessons, as these All-A seventh graders know.

Standing are Joyce Reedy, Cheryl Adams, Linda Jump, Janna Shackle- ford, Gary Moen, and Linda Cave. IF YOU KNEW SUSIE Susie Slater, so helpful to all her teachers and friends in the seventh grade, was an ideal Basketball Queen Candidate for the Class of '66.

Promising sophomores, as well as juniors, and seniors figured heavily in this year’s fine showing. TIGERS HOLD THAT LINE Again this year Guymon’s mighty Tigers gave GHS boosters a good season of football. Coach Dick Noble and Orville Tuttle’s 1960 edition evened the season at 4-1-4. They took the measure of and defeated four Kansas teams—West Wichita, Ulysses, Hugoton, and Liberal—to hang on to the O-Kan Conference title for the third straight year. Losses for 1960 were to four powerful Oklahoma teams—Anadarko, Woodward, Stillwater, and Elk City—all rated in the top ten of Class A and AA.

They played Liberal twice, tieing the first game 14- 14, and losing the second 12-30. They won the next two games shutting out Tcxhoma 14-0 and winning over Hugoton 30-22.

HALFTIME CROWNING CEREMONIES FOR QUEEN JOYCE Although inspired by Queen Joyce Ralstin and her lovely sophomore and junior attendants Glenda Spinden and Dorothy Cruzan, Guymon Tigers were unable to stop the stalwarts from Still- water for a )4-0 loss before a capacity Homecoming crowd in Memorial Stadium here October 14. Football Captain Buford Purser saluted Queen Joyce with the traditional kiss before crowning her with the coveted white helmet during half-time ceremonies featuring the team, the Band, and Pep Club. THE SUSPENSE IS ENDED At the annual Homecoming Day Assembly members of the Tiger team presented the three Football Queen Candidates. Buford Purser escorts the winner, Joyce Ralstin. J. C.

Senior leaders in the center arc Lynda Tyler and Sandra Bridwcll; juniors on the lower step are Nancy Behne and Dorothy Cruzan; sophies are Carolyn Jo Byerley and Glenda Spinden. GIBSON MEN DO IT AGAIN! After a very satisfactory, if up-and-down 12-to-10 season. Coach Coy Gibson’s determined but outpointed 1961 cage team amazed and delighted Guymon fans by copping the Alva Regional Champions’ Trophy March 3-4 to advance to the State Play- offs for the fourth time since our State Championship Team in 1957. Always at a disadvantage this year because of size, the scrappy little Gibson team had to bow out to the superior height of Seminole in the State Quarterfinals. Six of Guymon’s twelve wins for the year were over Oklahoma teams, the remaining six being four over Kansas teams and one each over squads from New Mexico and Colorado. Of the ten losses for ’61, four were to formidable Texas quintets, three to Oklahoma teams, two to Kansas, and one to a New Mexico team. In the O-Kan Conference, the 1961 Tiger cagers emerged as sharers of a three-way tie with Liberal and Ulysses, Kansas. Tiger B’s”, although falling two games short in the win side of the ledger with a 6-8 record for 1961, showed how narrow was their margin of loss by their total points—618-621 for their opponents.

Both Concert Orchestra and the smaller String Orchestra have made many appearances this year in assemblies, at the Fall and Spring Concerts, before civic groups, in contests, and at Graduation exercises.
