Glass Hisfofz In 1944 we first entered the halls of Henryetta High School. We found our classrooms and lockers Without too much trouble. For our sponsor we chose Mrs. Stafford. Marceau Roland was our president and Don Silvey our vice-president. Earlene Russell was our secretary and treasurer. We elected R. L. Willi- ford and Jack Miller for our yell leaders. Dorothy Palmer was our reporter. We chose green and whit-9 for our class colors. During our freshman year the senior girls wore pins on the bottom of their sweat- ers and the senior boys had crew cuts, and naturally we imitated them. We ended our year by going on a picnic to Inspiration Point. September, 1945, we returned to school--no longer green freshmen- but sophomores. No longer did we have to think about which floor was which or even to look at the num- bers on the doors. This year Miss Wampler was our sponsor. Jack Mil- ler became our president and Pep- per Payne our vice-president. Doro- thy Palmer was our secretary and treasurer the first semester and Carl Livesay the second semester. Gertie Simmons and William Stur- devant were our yell leaders the first semester. Cora Jo Bowman took Gertie's place the second sem- ester. We elected Betty Sue Watzke for our reporter. This year, too, the girls wore sweaters and skirts, but now they Wore small pins on the left sleeve of their sweaters. Some girls powdered or chareoaled one curl of their hair if their boy friends had a crew cut. This also was the year the school-building fell. The southeast corner cracked, and we got out of school for a day while it was being repaired. 1946! Ah! This year we were juniors! We chose Miss Watkins for our sponsor. Harold Prewitt was president the first semester, and Buddy Ginsberg the second semes- ter. Benny Leonard was elected vice-president. Earlene Russell be- came our secretary and treasurer. Our yell leaders were Jerry Nell Hart and James Potts-we almost outyelled the seniors. Marceau Ro- land was our reporter. This year we gave a play- Tom Sawyer. There was also the junior-senior basketball game to raise money for the banquet. We were very, very proud . . . we won! We worked very hard decorating for the ban- quet. We chose Roundup for our theme. We had cactus, and cow- boys sitting on corral fences all around the room. Blue streamers across the ceiling represented a blue sky. For favors we had small copper cowboy hats. On the place- cards were tiny guns and boots. GINSBERG'S DEPARTMENT STORE 306 WEST MAlN PHONE 936

Glass Histofuf The serving girls wore beige skirts, boleroes with fringe on them, and bright-colored blouses. September, 1947, we came back to school-as seniors. This was the year we had been looking forward to for eleven years. We kept Miss Watkins as our sponsor. We chose Fred Dean for president and Benny Leonard for vice-president. Ruth Crofut became secretary and treas- urer. Jerry Nell Hart and Jack Miller were elected yell leaders and Earlene Russell was eletced reporter. Marceau Roland was president of the student body. Our first senior event was the senior dinner. It was just before Christ- mas, and we had a Christmas tree and a Santa Claus. Most of the gifts were toys, and everybody had a wonderful time playing with The Twentieth Century Club gave them. a tea for the senior girls of our high school and of St. Michael's. Mrs. Griffith gave a very interest- ing book review on India. April 1, 1948, was senior day. How we had envied the seniors last year when they got out all day! We met at the Baptist church at 8:30. Then we went to Nichols Park. There we played baseball, swung, talked, and took pictures. Some went boat rid- ing. After lunch we went to Ok- mulgee. Many of the seniors just drove around, but some went shop- ping. From 3:00 till.5:00 we skated. After all this, many still had enough energy to got to the dance at Teen Town. Some of the fads in our senior year were plastic bubbles, colored bubble gum, and long skirts. Last year we had sworn we were not going to wear those long dresses- but this year we're wearing them, and liking them. The boys have started wearing blue - and - white striped overalls. - Our play this year was Nothing but the Truth. Everyone worked very hard to make it a success, financially and otherwise. On May 14 we were the guests at the junior-senior banquet, for the first and last time. This was also the day for our semester exams. The last week will be a busy one for us, with Baccalaureate on Sun- day, May 16, class day on Tuesday, and Commencement on Thursday night. The time between will be filled with rehearsals and last-min- ute details. For many years we have looked forward to getting out of school, but this year we wonder if we really want to leave. We hope that we can use the experience and train- ing we have had in school to be- come better citizens in the world. HENRYETTA FLOWER SHOP 616 WEST MAIN PHONE 117
