Old Norman High jyfc£-Zfz e? HC1 I A.1 cr)jz-7J Mr. N. H. Edwards Superintendent of City Schools —6— Mr. M. S. McMurtry Principal of Norman High School FOREWORD ggfwSHE sphere of school life gradually narrows BhmI itself down to this, the last year of concen- trated activity on the part of the graduating class It is a year fraught with many possi- bilities. interests and distractions with little time for sober thought, but still, how many are the reminiscences which rush to our minds in moments of quietude; mo- ments now and then, or perhaps in that far distant future when we may look back with so much longing to these now present and careless days of youth. How invaluable then must be that vehicle which cannot fail to bring to you subtle memories of bygone days; the queer pranks of companions, intimate friend- ships. petty frivolities and choice bits of jolly times that will always cling. Through this medium we have endeavored to portray in a large degree, our lives, as they have been lived in the four years of our sojourn here at this school. We have endeavored to relate our experiences as they have occurred, our joys and mayhap our petty sorrows. If we can do this and leave w'ith you an impression of what they have meant to us. we shall then consider our labor not to have been in vain —8— JOMMiCft OHtIft • RuSSC-xCoMUjifc f (pflLETKtD' i Mft.v W FNKi NiOn f o | )fcw rflCnw ctuc' • AS5T.BuStfifSSMGR J RjinB«p!.e } ISfVdR h 3TWtlAM, JjGtmieSa p Assolo.'r - ■ ' The Board of Education HE real foundation of a good and up-to-date school system is the Board of Educa- tion The Norman school system is no exception to this rule. We have on our school board five men taken from the business and professional world, whose whole hearts and souls are in the purpose of making the Norman school system second to none in the state To what extent they have succeeded we need only to say that they have built up in a town of but five thousand inhabitants, a school system having two ward build- ings and a high school employing a total of thirty-three teachers and in this respect surpassed by only such cities as Oklahoma City and I'ulsa. These five men with administrative and progressive abilities, arc not only quick to see every defect but to propose the remedy and carry the remedy to a successful conclusion. One year ago it was found that the East ward building was unfit for further use The School Board at once began to make plans for a new building: a bond measure was proposed and accepted, and at the beginning of the present school year the East ward children were able to enroll in a new. magnificent, and up-to-date building. This building was constructed on the unit plan, so that when addition became necessary it could be done without necessitating a new structure In order to make it possible for quick exit in ease of fire, the Board has also placed escapes on the High School and West ward buildings. They have taken much interest in our school life and have made it possible for us to hear many celebrated lectures A few years ago the Board of Education gave to the High School a silver loving cup to be presented to the class winning the inter-classic debating champion- ship. At the same time of the presentation of this cup. the Board gives its annual message to the student body. Also, they have encouraged athletics by their presence at our games and by their co-operation in making the football banquet a great success. In the way of school departments they have greatly helped our school. They have added many new improvements to the Domestic Science and Manual Training Departments. Again, they have made of our school what is known as a Normal Training School, placing in the curriculum certain subjects, after the mastering of which our graduates receive a two year certificate which enables them to teach anywhere in the state. In the Physics depart- ment. through the efforts of the Board, much new' and valuable apparatus has also been added. The Board of Education has laid dow'n some much-needed rules concerning social func- tions. which have been very readily obeyed by the student body. Our Board of Education is composed of. as we have said before, five men. Dr. Pendleton, our well-known dentist: Mr. E. A. Foster, manager of the Carey-Lombard Lumber Com- pany: Mr. M. B. Shives. who is connected with the State Sanitarium. Mr. Fred Reed, one of our most efficient druggists, and Prof. Shannon, a member of the faculty of the University All of these men arc recognized as educators and school-builders. Our city is to be con gratulatcd upon its possession of this efficient Board. No more need be said of these men yet we cannot stop without expressing our appreciation of their attention to our needs. We as the departing class From Norman High School, take this means of thanking you. the mem bers of the Board of Education, for the interest you have shown and the time you have given to our development. We realize the value of a good Board, and consider ourselves especially favored with the most excellent opportunities you have given us for our mental development We trust that when the class of Seventeen goes out into the struggle of life we will by our lives show that your kind help has not been in vain and that the present members of our school will show by earnest endeavors their appreciation of your services rendered. 10— Faxiilty ii— c tT A -. xy 7 The Faculty ORMAN High School has been particularly favored through the selection of its faculty personnel. We have had during the past year a corps of teachers of which a much larger school should rightly be envious. Our good fortune is due perhaps however, to our proximity to the University, which must necessarily attract the more ambitious and those who arc also anxious to take advantage of its opportunities for high school training. This will. also, in a large degree, account for the general youthfulncss of our faculty, to which our attention was called by Mr. Edwards at the beginning of the school year. This feature in a general way promotes comradeship and understanding between student and teacher, which is so essential to the bringing about of the desired result. Again, that progressive spirit which always accompanies youth, insures modern methods of teaching, and a recent knowledge of the subject to be taught which cannot help but place that body far above the mediocre We arc proud of our faculty because of the type which they represent. Nevertheless, while we have here assembled the better element of teachcrdom. humanity is never perfect and here we have endeavored to record the chief characteristics by which each is marked. Mr. Edwards, by his all-conquering stare, his departing cranial thatch, and mania for mathematics and athletics. O Death' Where is thy sting, when I have to take Solid Geometry?'' Mr McMurtry. by his Irish sense of humor and the taking of plenty of time to do a thing.” The man with but one enemy, and he is about dead. Miss Eva Clifton by her wit. diminutive figure and marvelous store of jokes. She is also an authority on domestic relations and matrimony We understand •'he will be using this knowledge to an advantage in the near future Mr. Carpenter by his slow grin, perfect composure with the exception of an inadvertent reddening of the cars, and an always immaculate person. Miss Hurst by her ready smile and dcmurcncss of manner. We never saw her frown. Mr. Williams by his cowboy stunts and occasional strokes of acute peevishness. Also a dare-devil driver of a high-power Saxon Miss Davison by her formality and holclcss doughnuts. Mr. Turner by his erect little figure, ease of manner and pleasing personality. Now adrift on the matrimonial sea. He was such a promising young man—too bad' Mrs. E. Oatman Blachly by her suffrage propensities and introduction of Boston Baked English into N. H. S. She never saw such a bunch of ignorant infants in all her life. Mr. Lounsbury by his efforts in instilling pepper into a dormant Junior class, and the careful nurturing of future Oklahoma teachers. Mrs. Goode by her honest attempts at injecting algebra into Freshman heads. Also salvaging German note-books and general sophistication in the ways of the wayward student. Mr. Stevenson by his horror of being nibbled, his vitriolic sarcasm and rendition of chapel music. Never assigned over twenty pages for one Physics lesson. Mr. Collins by his suaveness, conversational oratory and combativeness. Miss Hamar by her efforts to attract masculine voices into the Glee Club. Never known to stay through an cntac chapel period. We don’t blame her. Mr. Miller by his lack of any particular peculiarity. Miss Vandiver by her graceful gestures and sorrow at our failure of imitation. For Heaven's sake don’t ever call her a school-marm. Mrs. Clifton by her sprightlincss and. of course, she is little too. as all Cliftons are Miss Scrucx;s by her aversion to having her picture taken, and just to think, she now has to teach some of those big old boys she used to go to school with.

It seemed as though the heavens took this means of showing its gladness at the advent of the one hundred and fourteen members of the Class of ‘17 into Norman High Though this day was dark it was not an omen of our future High School standing. Of our Freshman year we need only to say that with Mr. Todd as our advisor we were su- preme in everything We were pitted against the Sophomores in our class fight and were defeated only when the other classes went against us also. In the intcrclass debates we won the cup We placed many men on the football team and a memtxr of our class has been the talk of the state throughout our THE FOUNTAIN career Again, in the classroom, our records surpassed those of any other class. With class spirit running high we began our Sophomore vear. ITic first thing that oc- curred was the class fight and we exposed the craniums of the hreshmen to the violence of the elements In football we placed four men on the team, the best halfback of the state among this number In debating work we defeated the Freshmen, but because of bribery of the judges we lost in the final contest. One of the members of our class won the essay contest prize A class basketball contest was arranged and our team defeated everything, only losing one game throughout the whole schedule An inter-class meet was held and our represenatives carried off more points than all the other classes put together Nor did we fail to live up to our reputation in the classroom, but better, we even raised our former record. We began our career as Juniors with the intention of having the best class in school. I o start with, we again made the football team take on the appearance of a Junior team because of the number of Juniors upon it In debating, our class placed three of the six members on the High School squad, as well as again winning the beautiful silver cup in the inter-class debates The basketball series again was started and after the Junior team had run up a score of thirty five points over each of the other teams, the championship was given to our class We won the inter-class meet and Abbott, our representative, was a great point-winner in this meet We instituted a school magazine. The f'oeus. which no other class has ever undertaken We also instituted a Junior Class Week which was so successful that it has now become an established feature In scholarship it is needless to say we far surpassed all other classes. With the memory of three successful years of High School life as a basis, we began our Senior year with the purpose of making it a fitting basis of our course We confess that we cannot help but look with pride on our present class and its record We have a Senior class composed of eighty-seven members, of which seventy will graduate, which will be the largest graduating class in our school history In football we have again mude it our class team as three of our men take State honors We as a class or as a High School did not have a basket- ball team this year because a satisfactory schedule could not be arranged We expect to have a baseball team and it is certain that our class will be as well represented this year as last We won over the Juniors in our class debate, but due to the over-confidence of our team, we lost to the Sophomores I lowcvcr. of the six men that form the High School debating team, five are Seniors, which we do not think so bad In classwork have we lost our reputation' Most assuredly not Even though we are undergoing the trial of Physics our educational standard is still supreme As the Senior class, it falls to our lot to put out this issue of The Trail Of our success in this we leave it for you to decide We have now passed over four years of our High School life and as we have shown you. we have been first in ahletics. in debating, in scholarship, unsurpassed in class spirit, and now we make our reluctant departure—Adieu! — 19— 1 AI T) z; 7HI ■ — WALLACE ABBOT I Wall.

I sometimes follow certain cases as a sort of diversion, and in my spare time I have taken it upon myself to determine the fate or fortune of each member of the renowned Class of '17. Candidly. I doubt that there ever has been or ever will be a class graduated from any high school from which such a number of illustrious persons have been drawn. Lxx k about you in the world of finance, business, law. politics, and the different professions—but still we must admit that there arc some who have not acquired a creditable portion of this world's goods, for in human nature there arc many surprises in store because those seemingly least capable of making a mark in the world have forged ahead and those who at that time seemed the most brilliant have pursued only a desultory course and never have risen above the mediocre.

Never Late!! —38— | 5P I7prj gssjdK3i| Jimior Class History BT33N September, nineteen hundred and fourteen, a new spirit was brought jl] into Norman High School by one hundred and fifteen somebodies. This tribe soon became known as Freshmen Under the careful guidance of Mr. Edwards we were led with few injuries through the first stages of our infancy. Of course our first thoughts were of a social spirit and very much was done to bring the members into closer relationship with each other. At the beginning of the second year, some of our number remained in the blissful state of Freshman ignorance, but in spite of these few. there were about one hundred and ten who were able to enroll as Sophomores; a record, by the way. which has never been broken. In this year very much was accomplished. One of our greatest achieve- ments was the making of the Norman High School football team, with a few exceptions, a Sophomore team, for even Bill Howrad, the captain for the coming year, was one of their nubmer. It was not only in athletics that we excelled, but also along literary lines. It was a Sophomore who wrote the prize essay and thereby received a silver cup. Also, it was a Sophomore w ho won a box of candy for writing the best story on Buying a Nickel s Worth of Candy at Carter s. We also showed much talent in debating. Many social functions again showed that there was much pep in the class. Now that we had conquered Caesar and his appendices, had laid Plain Geometry in a secluded resting-place, had learned from the men of Ancient History to put away childish things and had acquired higher ideals, we were ready to become upper classmen. Many months had passed since the timid band first entered and looked with awe upon the walls of Norman High School. In 1916 we again enrolled as one of the best and largest Junior classes that had ever entered the aforesaid walls. Our activities began early this year when, at a class meeting. Dewey Foster was chosen president, with Mr. Lounsberry as his superior guide. Parties, marshmallow and wienie roasts were very popular entertain- ments. but more time was spent in acquiring that longed-for knowledge than play. We need not mention our glory in football—it is again enough to say that our president was chosen captain for the 1917 team We had an excellent debating team, also but owing to the more experi- enced opponents, our team was unable to win the decisions of the judges. We are progressing all the time, and just wait—when we graduate we will have the best all-around class that ever received their diplomas from old Nor- man High Shcool. — 9— £5 c- T Si g - • - . - ; W H • s Smi H ft'! a 10 .JUU +r —11 — Juniors —12— Si n r 1 9- r i -' -- ' .

First stands Scholarship. the largest and most important monument on this long road which we arc told leads safely through the mysterious portals of Norman High School to the land of fame and honor. Next is Athletics We won high honors on the track and in the inter- class basketball games, but our greatest pride is in our boys who did so much to make the football team of Norman High such a success. Then comes Oratory.' We won three votes from the Sophomores in the inter-class debates, but though we struggled heroically, our team won only one vote from the Juniors in a later contest. Defeated out not discouraged, we have tried again, and we now ask you to view the achievements of this class as Sophomores. Along the trail arc bright memories of our success. Again, we stand first in scholar- ship and again our fame in athletics has spread abroad, uncqualcd and unsurpassed. We feel that out former defeat by the Juniors only strengthened us for the mighty battles which have been engaged in this year against the Freshmen and Senior debating teams. In both debates our team was victorious. We feel that our success is due not only to these hard- working Sophs and to the support each member cf the class has rendered but to our worthy Sponsor who has manifested so much interest throughout the year and who has always been ready and willing to help in our every undertaking With a word of thanks for his kindness and patience, we bid you farewell until we meet again on the trail as Juniors. The Defeat of the Seniors Two long years the Seniors held the Cup; The Sophomores said Time to give it up. So Thursday night, at ten till eight. The Sophs and Seniors met to debate. On each Senior's face was a confident grin As if to sav We know we ll win. Herbert Hyde was the first one up. He seemed to be so sure of the Cup And with his oratory most clever He tried to frighten the Sophs the worst ever. Then came Milton, a very nice chap Whom the Seniors call a little Jap He gave to them a very fine speech Which not one of the Seniors were able to reach Next came Parkhurst. who thought he was witty Because he was a Freshman in the Uni. City. But though they shouted themselves hoarse by speaking. It counted no more than a pig a-squeaking. When Rov arose with his eloquence All those Seniors sure did wince. Conrad Mount was last for them But any Soph could surpass him. Merle's speech, so fine and grand Made Herbert's rebuttal resemble sand. Herbert extolled the Seniors to the skies And said we had fallen, never to rise. But alas' When the decisions came around Only one for the Seniors could be found. (A moral for the whole Senior batch) Don't count your chickens before they arc hatched. 17— GfilMWOOD Melton Harrington OORE StonCR- Net s Pmlups Smitiv to ?i 3 4, ita . .iuy — 18— PfNoerroN ONTOori ry Gu: N Hunt SriiTh Con i ‘MO Daker E DWAA05 Sophomores 1!)

Freshmen!!! —54— The Freshman Class History HFTER toiling for eight long years in the grades, one hundred forty- two pupils, mostly graduates from the Washington and Jefferson schools, with several newcomers to Norman, enrolled in Norman High School on September 24th and formed the great Freshman class of 1916-17. After one week of school had elapsed we were called to a class assembly where our class sponsor. Mr. Williams, was introduced to us. At this meeting we organized and elected officers and began our real high school career. Ever since enrollment we have been taunted by some of the upper classmen, but in looking over the records we find that the Freshmen have made a better showing in school work than the taunters made in their first year. Soon debating came upon us and candidates for the Freshman debating team were given a try-out. As a result of this contest Orlin Sellers. Chester Capshaw and William Duff were chosen to represent the Freshman class in the inter-class debates. Although we were defeated by the Sophomores this was not due to the inability of the debaters, but to the lack of proper coaching. Nor discouraged by this defeat, we promise to produce one of the best debating teams in the future that has ever represented a class in Norman High School. We will not only have the good material composing the present Freshman team, but we will have an abundance of new material which failed to make its appearance in debating this year. The Freshmen rank high in class work and were well represented on the honor roll of the first semester. Very few members of the class failed in their work. But our brilliant scholarship has not interfered with our taking parr in all sorts of students enterprises and activities. There are members of our class in almost every society in school. Our class was highly represented on the athletic field, placing several men on the battling gridiron squad produced by N. H. S. this year. We also placed three men on the second football eleven, a feat of which we are par- ticularly proud, as the Sophomores were unable to furnish a single man con- sidered worthy of a prosition on the team. It was the star defensive playing of the Freshman left end that helped Norman High School plough through her all-victorious football season. Our class should and will place equally as many stars on the track, basketball and baseball teams. Next year our athletes will be relied upon to uphold this school's established reputation. We might continue this history for several more pages, telling of the beauty of the Freshman fair sex and the valor of the Freshman boys; but the lack of space forces us to discontinue our history until w'e appear before you as Sophomores. —o5— Freshman Top Row—Duff.

Here. too. arc held the different High School organization meetings and Chapels which occur on Wednesday of each week. The chapels this year have been under the direction of Mr. Carpenter, and the student body as a whole must extend its thanks for his diligent efforts in securing for us much valued instruction and entertainment. Many prominent speakers have been obtained, and at other times members of the faculty of the University have given us valued lectures. These have been supplemented by the different classes taking charge of the chapel period and rendering original programs. However, we must not fail to voice our appreciation of our song leader. Mr. Stevenson, who so valiantly strove to irrbuc in our hearts the melody of Sweet Afton. The yearly influx of new students is gradually taxing its capacity and also that of the whole building, so that it is safe to say that the agitation so prevalent last year for a new building will in the near future culminate in the securing ol the necessary expansion. —60— Ac? ..TP , • . Ti J Norman High School Debating Club Young Women’s Christian Association Norman High School Band The Belasco Dramatic Club —61— The Debating Club IF Debating Club of 1916 expressed its hope that the next year might sec an even greater and better society, and that more boys become interested in public speak- 2 ing This wish we mav say has been lully realized, for never in the history of our school have we had more success and interest than this year. The class as well as the school debaters have show-n great talent and these have received the loyal support of both student body and citizens. By earnest efforts on the part of the old members and our director. Mr. Turner, interest was early stimulated At the suggestion of Mr. Turner, a very successful banquet was given and such speakers as L. Q. Campbell and Josh Lee made addresses relative to g xxJ debating. The club was very fortunate in having such an efficient man as Mr Turner to lead it. Having had wide experience in this field, he showed great ability as an organizer and leader, and was instrumental in bringing about many improvements in the club It was Mr Turner who made it possible to develop the Congress within the club. It is impossible for us. as members of the club, to express our appreciation of the services rendered by Mr. Turner as director of this organization. Upon the resignation of Mr. Turner, the leadership was assumed bv Mr. Stevenson, who. although he has been with us only a short time, has proved helpful in many ways, and the club promises to become even better under his faithful direction. The class debates were held directly after the Christmas holidavs and in I HI-: INTKRSCHOLASTIC.

This cup is awarded by the Board of Education and is competed for by the class teams annually. The meetings of the club this year have been full of interest and the programs rendered have shown the result of earnest effort put forth by the members themselves. In parliamentary practice the mem- bers have been benefited by taking part in the proceedings of the Con- gress. which is modeled after the National Congress and conducted in a like manner It is our hope that the work which we have done may prove to be of some benefit to next year’s club and to it we extend our best wishes for a successful career. 62 ,OP Wash?

C A. organization have been to attain higher ideals; to serve ethers and also to bring the girls of the High School into closer relation and friendship The meetings due to the untiring efforts of the President and the (Cabinet have been made verv interesting. The programs vary in their nature, sometimes being musical and at other times the society has been favored by addresses from members of the University Faculty. Missionaries. Ministers and bv different members of the University Y. W. C. A. Miss Gertrude Sidcncr. the President first elected, had to give up her office because of conflict in work, but her place has been efficiently filled by Miss Hattie Poyntz Moomau Miss Hurst, the Latin teacher in the High School has aided the Y W. C. A in every way and it is chiefly through her efforts that the organization is now enjoying such a state of ex- cellence. From a very few members in its first year, the organization has grown to more than one hundred members, each girl adding to the interest of the society. Norman High School Band Just look at these rows of smiles. Who says we haven't got the pep? We’re a Jolly, confident bunch and we make it contagious Perhaps Norman's success on the gridiron this year was due to this noisy (for we have to say noisy) crew more than any other one thing. It was this Band which led our pep meet- ings. our student processions and led the rooters on the bleachers They led us in our mid- night orgies after a triumphant game and took along and inspired our boys with the old time Norman pep when they invaded foreign fields. This is especially note-worthy when it was oftimes necessary that they stand their own expenses. Few persons realized the amount of dormant musical talent which existed in our school until the plan of organizing a High School Band was announced, whereupon a surprising vol- unteer response was noticed A great deal of practice was at first necessary, of course, but some of the University Band members came to their assistance and the final result exceeded our most brilliant expectations. This Band without doubt was largely instrumental in raising ourselves in the estimation of the visiting teams, as they oftimes voiced voluntarily. The results were surely worth the effort and while a large number will graduate, it will be continued next year, with possibly an enlargement, but administering the same brand of pep. —67— The Belasco Dramatic Club HIS year the Bclasco Dramatic Club came under the supervision of the High School faculty. The aim of this club has been to develop in those students who show ability, a better expression and a certain characterization. This ability has been developed in a surprising degree as was shown in the club play. The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary. Dean Howard had charge of the production besides taking the leading role. All the members of the cast acquitted themselves splendidly, especially Froma Johnson and Elizabeth Keller. The play as a whole was a decided success.

Robert Louis Stevenson. was the unhesitating reply. Perhaps we laugh at the child, but after a careful study, we agree that Stevenson was really one of the Apostles—an Apostle of cheerful living. His name is not in Holy Writ, nor sung about in stately anthems, yet how many thousands of people has he won to his religion— the gospel of cheerful living. An old work-worn negro was laughing heartily at his cabin door. When asked by a passer-by what was the cause of his merriment, he replied Oh. I'sc jes' glas I'sc livin'. This was Stevenson s creed. Although he went through life with death in his heart, he uttered no complaint and after a great struggle gave as his verdict at the end Sick or well. I've had a splendid life of it. The conventional biographies of great men begin with the history of their mothers, but this is not a biography and the only interest we have in Stevenson's mother is to prove his claim as one of the Apostles. Although it is true Stevenson inherited from this wonderful Scotch mother the tendency toward tuberculosis, she also gave him his cheerfulness: his refusing to see the unpleasant side of life. This sentence of death which hung about him affected his whole career. says one author. It drove him as an exile from his native land and determined his choice of literature as a pro- fession. Yet he worked furiously under conditions where o'.hcr people would have failed. He writes thus to a friend: For fourteen years I have not had a day's health I have written in bed and written out of it. written in hemorrhages, written in sickness, written torn by coughing, written when my head swam from weakness. The battle goes on—ill or well is a trifle, so as it goes on. I was made for contest and the powers have willed that my battle- field should be this dingy, inglorious one of the bed and the physic bottle rhis was the dark sky that served as a background for the brightness of his character. His optimism was contagious. I he stamp of his personality in all of his poems is so great that he will alwavs be a living presence. See in the following I he world is so full of a number of things I 'm sure we should all be as happy as kings. Happiness was a study with him and this was his message of life. And to accomplish i he must have had a martyr s spirit. Surely he was one of the Apostles. Hear this prayer —61)— Si e? T ;’ • A.I - a..‘ ’•- Give us to awake with smiles. Give us to labor smiling. As the sun brightens the world, so let our living kindness make bright this house of our habitation. He found much of his enjoyment in simple pleasures. This is plainly shown by a bit from his diary he was keeping while staying in an old French village. He writes that he is greatly taken up by the antics of a town clock and that he misses no performance unless necessary. This same child-like spirit is shown in his Child’s Garden of Verses. Of speckled eggs the birdie sings. And nests among the trees: I'hc sailor sings of ropes and things. In ships upon the seas. The children sing in far Japan The children sing in Spain: The organ with the organ man Is singing in the rain. His latter life was spent on the island of Samoa, where it became necessary he sould go to benefit his health. He wished often that he might return to his Scotland home, but it would have been fatal. Yet he writes laughingly of himself as a poor benighted son of a bedpost. But at last Nature took her penalty. He did not die. he simply gave up life. He did not come to death in an arena, nor was he crucified as some of the other Apostles have been Yet with the same spirit he laughingly looked in the face of Death and sang: Under the wide and starry sky. Dig the grave and let me lie: Gladly did I live and gladly die. And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse that you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be: Home is the sailor, home from the sea. And the hunter home from the hill. The Stars and Stripes By Bess Clement fl: ) many times have the Stars and Stripes been displayed on land and sea. in peace and war. since that first time in the Battle of Brandywine? In war it has always ffi| H meant victory without oppression to the defeated. It was this flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write The Star-Spangled Banner Our great Civil War was fought in order that no stars might be blotted out from this banner. When a new star is added it means that another territory has come under the jursidiction —70— of this great land. To this territory it means churches, schools, and better education for its people. In foreign countries our flag is supreme protection for any United States citizen. And what do the Stars and Stripes stand for in our great America' They stand for Christianity. Liberty. Nobility. Purity. Physical and Moral Education and Patriotism of the highest order. In the present crisis we should think of the great heroes who have fought so nobly for their flag and their country. America is a land blessed with many great and good men; Wash- ington and Lincoln being those to whom out thoughts turn most often. There is not a true American in this country who would not gladly lay down his life for the land of the Stars and Stripes. And so let us say with Francis Scott Key: The Star-Spangled Banner. Oh. long may it wave O'er the land of the free. And the home of the brave. SCEMBS Crrays m 3 Oooru IcL. Jf ‘ ‘U U «ry u ey - tht « -r opr f, _ -- ow r m ---—sj (o4 his towns to Mush. « Hseeri.

These two departments arc well equipped in comparison with that of many larger schools and the work done has been of the highest standard. Many beautiful pieces of furniture and woodwork have been turned out by the boys; and the girls, while there is not much of a material value to be shown, have fully demonstrated their ability along certain lines by the wafting of savory odors into the upper halls. Each of these departments has a large enrollment and is under the direction of Mr. Carpenter and Miss Davidson respectively, who deserve highest commendation for their work. ' fi c? TP Valedictory Address Gertrude .. Sidencr N the journey from youth to old age there arc a few events about which wc connect every important undertaking of our lives. Tonight wc have reached one of the milestones of life. Our youthful years arc spent in training that last days may be more profitable and pleasant. Our high school course, our primary preparation for service, is at this time speedily drawing to a close. Why should this be called the primary preparation of service1 Because there arc higher institutions of learning than the high school accomplishing their desires: while our school work thus far has only laid the basis for the vocational and specific training We have acquired a true and firm foundation upon which wc can build, and thus men- tally. morally and spiritually develop our lives until they may be of great use to those around us. who have not had such golden opportunities as wc. And since it is my happy privilege to dedicate this foundation, which has taken so much painstaking effort to build. I can think of no greater purpose to which it can be devoted than that of Service. Perhaps at no other time during the life of our nation or that of the whole world has the idea of service been so vividly impressed upon the minds of the people All around us we can see the great need of service, as the nations of the world plunge deeper and deeper into the broils of the terrible war that is now being waged. But before w-c go forth to build this temple, let us lay its cornerstone in memory of those who have contributed so much to its construction. Tonight wc extend to you. patrons and friends of this school, our thanks for the willing and generous service which you have rendered us during these years of preparation. We wish to express our hearty appreciation of your kindness and encouragement, which have strength- ened us in our efforts to gain that goal of greater life, which comes after this hour. To gain the goal of a higher plane in life is like unto the climbing of a mountain: which reminds us of the words of the poet • Heaven is not reached by a single bound. Wc build the ladder by which wc rise. From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. And mount to its summit, round by round. Although wc may experience many hardships and failures, still through perseverance and faith, no matter how rough the road, may be wc will at last reach that long sought for goal. So let our march be ever upward with a determination to win. and an aim to render to humanity the best that wc have. Dear classmates, wc have passed the foot-hills and just here, in the glory of our youth, arc about to enter upon a field of service. Let us rise early to the labor of the summer day and with unflinching endurance, patience and obedience, go to our tasks—knowing that each act of greatness will add to out temple of Service. Kind teachers, we realize that you have not only striven to develop an intellectual being, but have also nurtured the moral side of our lives. We thank you for pointing out this greater and better life in the universe and in the after spiritual world. To us many of the principles w'hich you have endeavored to impart, which were for our development, have been hard to understand. But at last your vision has been revealed to us and we arc now determined to climb higher for the perfecting of our temple. Before we try our feet upon this adventure our hearts go out to you. honorable Board of Education, for we feel deep in our hearts the untiring service which you have rendered each and every one of us by choosing with careful thought the corps of teachers who have been our guide and stay through this high school. Not only for this, but for the many other favors which you have bestowed upon us. do we thank you. To you. our Alma Mater, we pay our deepest respect as we. in the name of the Class of 17. look for the last time upon your sheltering walls which have for so many years shielded us from the storms and perils without. If. by service in after years our names arc penned upon the gilded scrolls of fame, to our dear school we will owe a portion of the honor, and to you we will render just praise. To the alumni whose ranks we shall soon join, we wish to express our appreciation of the support which they have given us in our school activities. Dear classmates, for years we have stood hand in hand: together we have enjoyed many privileges and pleasures: but soon we must part and never again as a class shall we stand within these walls. Classmates. I will not. I cannot say that final word—Farewell. But as we arc all entering upon a life of service and our thoughts will be on the same task. I prefer to use that unobtrusive but familiar word—Goodbye—which means God be with you. So—goodbye—to each of you—goodbye! —76— ASummary of Things that Did Happen and Some that Didn’t HERE WE GO Wc arc sorry, kind friends That wc can’t roast you all.

Harve is a Norman boy himself He played on the Norman High team several years ago. After graduating from Norman High, and playing out his allotcd time on the team, he entered the University and took instructions under Bennie Owens for two years. He made his letter on the Uni. team ini 14. Harve coached the state championship team last year at Pawhuska He started his coaching career whipping the Norman West Side boys into shape in order to beat the East side boys in the kid games. He will very likely put out the champit nship team here next year. Harve is noted for his ability to instill the pepper into the boys. Get the idea?' —87— [•ST z e «, • .T WALLACE ABBOTT Wall...1'horpc Allstate half He is without a doubt the fastest man on a high sch(K)l team in the State of Oklahoma This is his fourth year on the team, which is the longest experience of any man on th team WILL A I.VI HOWARD Bill Snake Captain—Right half Bill is the kind of a player that makes a winning team He is a consistent tackier and a sure gainer. He will be with the team again next year. He is one of those Terrible Injuns. THELMO KEENER Full-hack and Guard He is a versatile player. He was a good full-back, a hard hitter, and a good gainer He (oujd use that educated toe to good advan- tage. This is his last year. Thelmo had hard luck, for he was laid out about the middle of the season with a bad knee. —88- - --dj ALVA MILLER ‘Puss' Left End This is is first year on the team. Miller is an excellent receiver of passes and a flood interference runner. CARL INCE ' Chins' Quarter-back Th s is his first year on the team but he proved himself to be an excellent field general, a good passer, and a sood open field runner EDGAR SKAGGS Mahan” Right End He was a deadly tackier and a terror to his opponents in receiving forward passes. This is nis first year. —89— Zz c? DEWEY FOSTER “Dude “Tiny All stale Guard—Full back He was also a gcxxj hack field player, made long gains and completed many long passes He could kick. too. ELMER WAILS Fat All-slat: Tackle george McDaniel Red Bricklcy Full-back His second year on the squad and played full-back in Keener's absence. He can play most any place. He starred in many games this season. His part of the line was as strong as a wall. This is his third year on the team. A human bull dog. —?K T_J S ' - - ' FLOYD WALKER Squawk A Star Center Squawk is a strong player on the defensive and at intercepting forward passes. Very few men walked through his portion of the line. This is his last year. ROBERT HOWARD Doscy Fudge Left-Ruard This is Doscy's first vear on the team but one of the best linemen Norman has ever had. He is a good man on the defense ani with his weight he presents a veritable stone wall to his opponent. Brother to Bill and some Happy Injun. JAMES GREY TUBBY Tackle Grey is one among the best tackles in the state. He was in every play and always made us g x d gains. Tubby is a strong, heavy man and played the game. This is his third and last year on the team. He will be a hard man to replace. —91 — The Team J gjjORMAN High has always put out one of the leading football teams of the state This year they brought back the old record by defeating all the large teams of Okla- homa. No I ligh School team was its peer At the beginning of the season our men caught that disease called rep. and by Thanksgiving they had piled up six- hundred-one points, the best record ever made in this state We went and defeated‘Cherokee, the team that defeated us last year, by a large score. Pawhuska. who had been under the training of Pete Hauser, besides their home coach, came to Norman with a large crowd of rooters with the intention of wiping up on us. but went back feeling mighty blue In the Lawton game. Lawton finding that she could net go through our wall tried kicking field goals, and after several attempts, put one between the posts. Our closing game on the day before Thanksgiving was with the Freshmen Aggies. The big far- mer boys tried very hard to beat us but it could not be done Our boys piled up a big score on them All of the other games were very one-sided The yell leaders. Herbert Hyde and Randolph Chancellor, together with the Band, instilled the necessary “pep' into the boys and rooters I he Band boys rendered invaluable aid in accompanying the team toother places and keeping up the home ground courage. THE SECOND TEAM We have very good material for next year s team developed this year in the second team. Our material this year was plentiful and even our second team was equal to several of the first teams of other large schools. This team played and defeated Purcell by a large score and several other teams were defeated in a like manner. The men composing this team were: Captain Raymond Kennedy. Frank Starkey Lynn Gcycr. Fisher Muldrow. Duvall Harold. Claude Cottcrll. Thomas LcFlore. Clifford Boles. Jack Anderson. Moses Endicoti. and Marcus Burt. What Do You think of this for a Season's Record.

Norman is not only known for foot- ball. but for its track team and other forms of sport as well As we go to press, it is still somewhat early to predict just what kind of a team will be developed but so far it is very promising. Wallace Abbott and Herbert Hyde have already won much honor for themselves and for Norman High, this year at the Southwes- tern Meet at Dallas. Texas. Abbott who has proven to be one of the best athletes of the Southwest, took all-round place at this meet. On account of a contestant getting an ad- vantage at the get away he lost first place by a distance of six inches in the 100 yard dash, but won first honor in the other three events in which he entered, making him eighteen points. Herbert Hyde, the orator of our school, won first honor in the oratorical contest The oration was on the life of Aaron Burr, entitled. A Splendid Failure. WALLACE ABBOTT Others who arc out for places arc There arc others who arc working hard to win honors at the meet at Stillwater and also at Norman. Walker and Ricdescl arc heaving the javelin to a considerable distance. Conk- ling is a contestant for the mile and the half. McDaniel. Endicott. Howard, and I nee Baseball Baseball, like the other sports, was sadly disrupted by the canceling of schedules by all the major schools of the state. Collin's crew however have been working hard and as we go to press the team Is to play at the Stillwater Meet, with a good chance of showing the old time Norman pep. —94— Military Training IRECTLY after the declaration of a state of war as existing between the United States and Germany, and during the crisis immediately preceding it. a wave of patriotism swept over our school Military training was put to a vote as to its adoption, and was carried to the Board of Education for their approval Immediately about one hundred and ten boys were signed up with the consent of their parents by Prof N. H Edwards who underwent the training at the Kansas A M ( allege at Manhattan. Kansas The course was not made compulsory but was left entirely to the dis- cretion of the student body. An Army Officer was detailed by the U. S. Government to inspect the company and de- termine as to whether we should receive government equipment The inspection was satis- factorily passed and the school will receive full equipment in the near future excepting uni- forms which must be furnished by the individual. Examinations were held as to the selection of the corporals, and sergeants but the higher officers were appointed by Prof Edwards who holds the position as instructor together with Prof Williams who has had experience as an instructor in a military school. William Howard was appointed Captain. Elmer Wails. First Lieutenant and Rodcriquc: Childress. Second Lieutenant. Military training promises to become a permanent course and offers much strong argu- ment in its behalf, as obedience, discipline and a healthful cxccrcisc besides a preparation to serve one's country to the utmost. Basketball Norman High School did not put out a basketball team this year for several reasons. Primarily because a satisfactory schedule could not be arranged and because of lack of a place to practice. The material available was splendid and our last year's record shows our ability along this line Next year perhaps the conditions will be changed Norman High School has been handicapped in these indoor sports by the lack of a gymnasium and made dependent to a large degree upon the accomodations of the University. Horse Shoe Norman High School made progress toward developing an undefeat able horse shoc ca™ as well as football team this year if the clanking of steel and perseverance on the part of the players could have attained that end. George Davis and Frank Starkey stood forth as in- herent geniuses in the accomplishment of the ancient art while several others industriously followed in their footsteps. Those worthy of mention, arc C.hing Incc. Joe Hicks. Russell Smith. Slyke Hvde. Henry Rcidcscl. Raymond Kennedy and Charlie Wilkcy. 1)5 The Senior Class Play S we go to press, the class play is still to be selected. A number of plays have been read and reviewed by the committee but with no definite decision as yet given. Two plays however have met with . . t ,av°rab,f approval and which give promise of serving as the best vehicle for the talent in the Senior Class. These two plays arc The Import- ance of Being Ernest, and “His Excellency, the Governor. with the gen- eral sentiment in favor of the former. The Coach is also to be selected by the committee with three persons available for the position These are Miss . lane Anderson. Dean Howard, and Miss Grace Vandiver, the Public Speaking Instructor in Norman High School. Miss Vandiver will in all probability be the one selected but because of conflict in her University work it has been difficult to prevail upon her to attempt it. Her record as an instructor and as a debater give promise of the best play yet to be staged by Norman High I here is no doubt as to the ability and latent talent in the Senior Class for this has been fully demonstrated in the work done by the Bclasco Dramatic t.Jub in their presentation of I he Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary. Commencement Exercises The plans for the commencement exercises are still somewhat immature but it is known that Aldyth King will deliver the Salutatory Ad- dress with Gertrude L Sidener as Valedictorian. It is not known who will dehver the Baccalaureate Sermon as we go to press. The Senior Class Play will be giyen Wednesday night of the last week.

This being true every wise merchant should guard his customers interest with as much care as possible; must know this customer receives with each purchase full value; must know that each customer gets courteous treatment; must see that they get the goods called for; must know that your establishment would not allow a misrepresentation to effect a sale; must know that your employees are polite, willing and ready to serve and must know that your price is right. For fifteen years this store has made an effort to live up to these requirements; have sold only dependable merchandise; merchandise that will appeal to your better judgment; merchandise that will sell you today, tomorrow, next week, next year, in fact as long as our doors are open. These methods and these policies have won for us the largest business in our line in the county and has held this business for the past fifteen years. We will appreciate your patronage along these lines and will assure you it will be of mutual benefit. cjMcCALL'S Norman s Greatest Store When in Search of AMUSEMENT REST and RECREATION Try obe Kniversit?

(Subject to a change without notice) ASKETBALL is the science which teaches vou how to throw a ball twelve inches in diameter through an iron ring three inches in diameter fastened high on the wall, while standing on your neck The game is played by four men and a bean- pole I wo arc called forwards and the other two are called guards I hp object of the game is to sec how many fouls can be made without being object ' rc crcc Skill is shown by both the players and the referee in gaining this The bean-pole (commonly called center), consists of four points, known as knees and elbows, joined together by slender members called arms and legs At the point of intersection is mounted a small sphere usually filled with signals A good center can jump ten feet into the air swat the ball with one arm and send it in a straight line through the basket while his other three points arc in contact with his opponent's stomach I he forwards hold the lazy man's place on the team. In fact anyone with little or no practice may become a forward All a forward has to do is to make points at the rate of six a mrnutc This is done in two ways: by gently tossing the ball through the basket while gracefully eluding the embraces of the guard, or by punching your guard in the eye and having him called for blocking. When basketball was first invented a person had only one free throw but as there wasn t sufficient number of points the number was increased to two on the re- quest of several forwards The good guard presents a long arm with a compact fist He must be fast (not morally) and must lay out a forward every ten minutes A good team carries a mascot called a referee He usually is pessimistic: in fact he alternately blows a whistle and finds fault with the players.
