It is my wish that these accomplishments may be the inspirations which will guide you into a richer and fuller life. Sincerely Your Superintendent To The Students, Staff, and Faculty I am grateful to the Student Council for your courage in taking over the responsibility of this An- nual. You knew that it was a big task, but you seem- ed anxious to show us that you could do it. You have done a splendid piece of work and we congratulate you. You have proved again that you have the stuff it takes to win. To the Seniors, I would say that your coopera- tion has been splendid. Your spirit of working to- gether is encouraging.

To the highly esteemed members of the faculty who have spent many sleepless nights during this school year, fearing our failure to make the landing, we leave a promise that we will achieve more success in the next four years than we have in the past four. To the Juniors, with our deepest sympathy, we leave all our unlearned grammar lessons and do hope that they learn them. To the entire student body we leave our power (wielded by carrying flashlights) to get the lights turned on in the upper hall. To Mrs. Leach, our sponsor, we leave our gratitude in payment for the hard work on our play, the carnival, graduation exercises, and most of all for the interest she has shown in helping us graduate. Because of our sympathy for our fellow students, the members of our class wish to depart with the following talents in hopes that our fellow students will remember us in the years to come: I, Bill Allen, leave my ability as TV technician to Richard Lowe. I, Corkey Birdsell, leave my ability to always be on time to Mary Wedgeworth. 1, Rosemary Bohannon, leave my ability to play Bedilia” in the Senior Play to Alyma Price. I, Joe Campbell, leave my hopes to be an aeronautical engineer to Gerald Crabb. I, Mary Caudill, leave my ability to break training rules and get away with it to James Hodges. I, Darla Jean Ellis, leave my chair in Myrt's to Georgia Mae Green. I, Van Guinn, leave my blushes to Red Renfro. I, Merle Harris, leave my ability to say the wrong thing at the right time to Stanley Acree. I, Buddy Henry, leave my ability to get along with Coach Ingram to Claude Hall. I, Jimmie Nell Hester, leave my little red pencil used in Bookkeeping to Danny Raper. I, Frances Hopper, leave my ability to talk all the time to Sue Warren. I, Bill Lankford, leave my basketball suit to anyone that will have it cleaned. I, Dale Liles, leave my wrestling ability to Honey Martin. I, Dorothy Palmer, leave my knowledge of basketball to Pat Raper. We, Frances Mann and Laura Lindsay, leave our ability to go steady to Barbara Hutton and Linda Lindsay. 1, Florence Palmer, leave my typing problems to anyone who has the nerve to attempt them. I, Shirley Palmer, leave my record of Run 'Em Off to Donna Self. I, Jerry Rankin, leave my shorthand ability to Neomia Caudill. I, Janet Robertson, leave my ability to pickle frogs in Biology to Bernice Ryan. 1, Bettie Hart, leave my old parking spots to Barbara Garner. I, Buddy Sims, leave my ability to play football to George Davis. I, Doris Skinner, leave my ability to get engaged to Doris Castoe. I, William Tatum, leave my many girl friends to Jimmy Barnes. 1, Ted Thom, leave my ability to help people up and down the stairs to Jerry Bullard. I, Charles Villines, leave my Sing Sing cap to Richard Hale. 1, Mary Lou Wilcox, leave my driving ability to Jackie Swarb. I, Nellie Willbourn, leave my ability to milk cows to Frankie Snelson. 1, Rex Wilson, leave the left rear fender of my car to anyone that will have it. I, Sue Pate, leave my Bookkeeping workbook to Sue Noland. I, Bob Pate, leave my drip can” to Duane Collins. Besides these gifts, we leave our best wishes and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. We do hereby constitute and appoint Mr. John Snider, Mr. B. E. McCharen, and Mr. Tom Henry as sole executors of this our Last Will and Testament. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1954. Senior Class Prophecy The Circus was in town! I, a graduate of the 1954 Maud High School Senior Class, had just re- turned to the little old home town, and wanted to catch up on the whereabouts of the other grads. Hurrying through the main entrance of the Circus, I noticed a small tent to the right bearing the sign Your Fortune Read For $1.00. ” I thought for a moment and came to the de- cision that this would be a fine spot to find out all about my classmates. This is what I heard from the fortune teller: Mary Lou Wilcox, who was always noted for her driving, is now a famous motorcycle driver called The Daredevil. Her most famous trick is eight backward flips over David's house. Jerry Rankin finally got her beauty operator's license. She is now an operator for Bald Men, Incorporated. She dresses rabbits and chickens for Bohannon's Super Market as a side line. Jimmie Nell Hester always goes around saying, Mamma loves me, that I know; but Poppa says he fears some day, with some mean scamp I’ll not mn away. Charles Henry, a promising young lawyer, recently tried three cases—Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, and Grape. His famous court cry is, A bottle a day keeps the Zu Zu Bugs away. Believe it or not, the girl patrolling Broadway with the big gun is Laura Lindsay. She is now a big game hunter—two-legged game, that is. Janet Robertson, recently deceased, left her fortune to the foundation for Homeless Cats. See the woman in the cute uniform? That is Sue Pate. She and Bob are now rearing their own Army Division. Rex Wilson, a famous auto mechanic, offers a special rate on auto tune-ups. He never has any complaints about his work. His customers aren't able to complain—the bill he sends them makes them speechless. Charles Villines, following in the footsteps of Mr. McCharen, is now teaching Biology and Science. In his spare time he is experimenting with the goodness gland of a goat. William Tatum is a big game hunter and has hunted gophers on Salt Creek, oppossoms in Bruno Flats and is now hunting for his thirteenth wife. Merle Jay Harris must have realized part of his life long ambition. He has always wanted to be a dog sled driver--last night he came home from a date saying, Mush! Dale Liles, who recently starred in a hit western serial entitled, On The Trail, is now re- covering from over exposure to the cameras. He was on the trail six years. Rosemary Bohannon is now the head of a famous swim team. Her specialty is doing the high dive from a diving board one hundred feet high into a pool filled with buttermilk. Buddy Sims is realizing his ambition to have his own football team. He is naming the team The Asher Eleven and he is hoping to win the Dust Bowl. Joe Campbell, an excellent aeronuttical engineer, was testing the super-hidrogriper dumosidro- plane when a wasp lit on him. The super-hidrogriper dumosidroplane works, but Joe doesn't anymore. Darla Jean Ellis is proprietor of a sandwich shop on West Main. Her specialty is a triple-deck bread-and-butter sandwich. Frances Mann finally reached the height of her ambition. At the age of 93, she is a nurse in The Home For Aged Men. Bettie Hart Sanders, recently married, is the proprietor of Diapers, Inc. Her motto is Two hundred diapers a day keep the odor away. Bill Lankford, the head of United Travel Agency, is now offering cut rates to Punkin Center, and has recently issued a pamphlet on short cuts to Arkansas. Congratulations to Mary Caudill on the opening of her nursery for children from six weeks to six years. She has eleven pupils now, but no paying customers--they are all hers. Nellie Willbourn has graduated from four business colleges, and has finally settled down to a steady job--cigarette girl in Myrt's Cafe. Doris Skinner, whose marriage was planned for her when she was in the third grade, finally re- belled. She ran away from home and married a wild savage from the Belgium Congo. Van Guinn, one of Seminole Junior College's most promising young students, has finally re- ceived his degree. He has a Doctor's Degree and a BRAIN. Ted Thorn, who has received his farming degree from A M, has closed his mule barn and gone into the glue and fertilizer business. Dorothy and Florence are partners on a farm down in Texas. The farm is ten miles long and a half inch wide. They raise spaghetti. Shirley Palmer failed to make the grade with the famous Red Heads ball team. She dyed her hair with cake coloring—now she plays for the Bald Heads. That bashful little girl in English class by the name of Frances Hopper, is now campaign man- ager for the Make Maud Beautiful drive. Corkey Birdsell still thinks married life and her husband are wonderful, just wonderful! ” She Arliss, and Arliss Jr. are very happy. Bill Allen was.recently awarded a medal of honor for service above and beyond the clouds. He swore that he wouldn't come down until they disbanded the Marines. With this last bit of news, the light in the fortune teller’s crystal ball went out. I paid my dollar, thanked her, and went on my way rejoicing that 1 had once been a member of such an illustrious group.

The team went to the finals by means of their winning over Wanette (42-34), and Harrah (29-28). The finals found the girls playing Noble. Noble won the game by a score of 36 to 21. The team captain, Laura Lindsay, received the runner-up trophy from Mr. John Snider, Superintendent of Maud Schools. The County Tournament, held at Shawnee during the last week of January, found Maud winning over Wanette (44-34), Bethel (44-38), and playing Macomb in the semi-finals. The girls play- ed very well in this game, but the final buzzer found the score 34-32 in Macomb’s favor. Mary Caudill, guard, made the All County Team as a result of her fine playing in this tournament. There are four senior girls on the A team—Laura Lindsay, Shirley Palmer, Mary Caudill, and Dorothy Palmer. These girls will be missed of course, but there are some fine understudies to take their places. The Maud B Team entered the County Tournament held at Bethel the first week in February. They won their first game against Earlsboro 44 to 22. Their second game with Asher was for- feited. The semi-final game with Dale was won by 30 to 20. They played Harjo in the finals and won by the score 43-42. Needless to say, the team composed of Donna Self, Jackie Swarb, Carolyn Young, DeLoyce Lovelace, Florence Palmer, Ellen Lovelace, Johniece Noland, La- vonna Ragan, Barbara Hutton and Jackie Sue Goss were very proud of their trophy.
