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. If in the years to come this volume will enable you to live again on the campus, to pass through the halls of learning, to view again the faces of friends and cause you to appreciate old memories, the fondest hopes of the editor will have been realized. If we have erred in portraying you, if aught has been said that had been better if it were unsaid, kindly consider it an error of the Head and not of the Spirit.

Nina BOARD OF EDUCATION Upon the administration, wise or unwise, of a Board of Education the school system of a city rests. In view of this fact the citizens of Norman have been very careful in their selection of the members of that important body. During the past year the members of the School Board have efficiently and intelligently dealt with the problems of school management presented by the public schools of Norman under their jurisdiction. They have recog- nized our needs, social and intellectual, and have to the limit of their power endeavored to supply them. This was done in a large measure by careful selec- tion of instructors and by close study of the problems to be met in our every- day life after school days are over. The Board of Education is composed of six men, prominent in business and professional life; men who are interested in Norman and her schools; progressive men who have the vision and foresight to bring to Norman the best instructors and the best system of education possible that we may be edu- cated to the highest ideals of citizenship and service toward our fellowmen. Five of these men, Mr. Shannon, President; Mr. Stanley, Clerk; Mr. Reed, Mr. Simpson and Mr. Moomau, represent the city proper, while Mr. Shives represents the outlying district. When our athletic interests widened to basketball a gymnasium was pro- vided where practice might be held and wehn conditions demand it even better facilities will be obtained. We are able to realize the value of our Board of Education and we feei especially fortunate in having these men in control of our school system and to them, by our lives after school days are past, we hope to show our sincere appreciation for the excellent educational advantages they have provided for Norman Ten I9Z0I FACULTY p 00A T s vou r [Y ,Xk) hhsCL A. Cloven llifliiriiiriti OUR FACULTY To most of readers of this Trail these patient, long-suffering friends of ours need no introduction, but to those persons as yet unacquainted with the teachers who have guarded our footsteps thru the devious paths of know- ledge the past year we give this short, inadequate introduction. Mr. Faulkner, superintendent, is our sympathetic friend and advisor at all times. He has quite a reputation as an instructor in the chapel songs of which we are so fond. Mr. Ward is the H. S. principal, and also the physics teacher. Since “everybody’s business is nobody’s business’’ he himelf is measuring the volume of air given off as we sing our “school song.” Miss Barbour, besides teaching mathmatics, sponsors the renowned class of ’20. She simply “can’t tolerate this loafing in the halls” and is a joy to Mr. Ward’s heart in asking us to pass on to our class rooms. Mrs. Dillard is our D. S. teacher and she has a smile for everyone unless they ask what her sandwiches are composed of. Her pupils’ constant prayer is “have a heart,” for she is devoid of that or van. Mrs. Johnson teaches the “abnormal” training class and sponsors the Freshman class, also the Forensia. Her great difficulty is getting herself and her cause reported right. Miss Harlow presides at the piano during chapel and sometimes favors us with a song in addition to teaching general literature and history. Mr. Knight’s past, present and future are very dark, and all we know of him is that he is a very efficient science teacher and admires “someone” whose ancestors date back to the Bradfords of Plymouth. Miss Black is sponsor of the Junior class and she also teaches English. Her pleasant smile and good looks convince us she is not a “miss” from ne- cessity. Miss McCall has her classroom in the “dungeon” where she teaches math- matics. She is also sponsor of the Royal Dramatic Club. Mr. Watson teaches M. T. in the annex and his greatest desire is for per- fect attendance at one class. He has several ladies in his classes. Miss Butler is authority on science and “bugology” and sponsors the Phil- omathean Literary Society. She is a former graduate of N. H. S. Miss Theresa Gibson is a most efficient English teacher and is very pop- ular with the student body. She often threatens to “chastise” the boys. Mr. Denbo pursues his modest and quiet wav grinding out stenographers, but he is always ready for a good time as the P. D. C. sponsor. Miss Ray of the modern language department is a recent addition to our faculty, but she has already won a high place in our esteem. Mr. George Abbott is our “town hero” and N. H. S. athletic coach. He often scolds the girls B. B. team, but never says more than “My, My, My!” Miss Schaul, our Latin teacher, has such a slow, easy drawl (?) that it is recommended she “speed up.” A preacher’s daughter is all right, after all. Miss Malinda Gibson teaches history and civics. Her insatiable desire for “historical current events” keeps her students distracted. Thirteen We oVt FACULTY G DUcK.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Three long years have passed since we began our journey on the Trail and this year we meet you as Seniors on the last length of that journey, but as we meet again on that same Trail let us ask you to stop and look back on the gleaming history of our class. In September’nineteen hundred and sixteen we entered Norman High School as Freshmen, green it is true, but with a resolution to overcome this and to be the best class ever known in Norman High. With this purpose in view we elected the following officers: President, Fred Berry; Vice-President, Ed- ward Johnson; Secretary, Christine Alexander; and with Mr. Williams as our sponsor. At the close of the year in looking over the honor roll it was found that our class had more representatives than any other class. With hopes higher we started our Sophomore year. A few of our class had fallen by the way, but others took their places, thus our class was just as strong. We organized with the following officers: Edward Johnson, Presi- dent; Christine Alexander, Vice-President; Evelyn Cralle. We placed more men on the football team than any other class and not only in this, but in many other lines of work we were not surpassed. Beginning in our career as Juniors we elected as President Weldon Bum- garner; Vice-President, Isabel Duffy; Sec-Treas., Helen Vincent. We even made our records better this year by endeavoring to help again in school organiza- tions. We placed a large percent of men on the football eleven and in debat- ing we did our part. In order to keep up with our expenses and our standards we put on a Squeedunk Fair which was very successful. We were well repre- sented in Woodbee’s Carnival, The Operetta and on the Tiger Council. From our class was chosen the most popular boy in school. Junior Day was the best ever known in Norman High School. This year we meet you as Seniors. At our first class meeting we elected as officers: Harrell Bailey, President; Helen McCoy, Vice-President; Mildred Holland Sec. Treas. In school activities we must just repeat the same story. In basket ball our boys and girls were champions in the class games. In debat- ing this year we won the new silver loving cup given by the Board of Educa- tion. To our sponsors, Miss Barbour and Miss Gibson, we owe many thanks for guiding us through this year. We now leave it to you to decide whether we have carried out the resolution we made when we entered Norman High School. We have now passed over the four years of our school life and have, shown that In each and everything we have held first place. We now make our unwilling departure— farewell. NELLIE BEAVERS. Twenty-one SENIORS ■ Uti I Agnes Wolf (“Pete”) Forensia; Normal Training. “I’d rather be bad than commonplace.” We think she will be a detective looking after the welfare of young way- ward girls.

S. girls. Those blue eyes and auburn hair are sure to win for her a bungalow just for two” in the near future. George McKinney “Long Boy”) “Built for speed and not for comfort.” George is one of Mr. Denbo’s most brilliant pupils, and as George’s father is a grocer, George will probably act as bookkeeper in the store for a short time, after which we think he will set up a store and family of his own. Marguerite Newblock (“Fat”) Philomathea Pres ’18; Royal Dramatic; Y. W. C. A. I’m tired of books. I’m tired of balls; where’s my Jerry?” One of N. H. S.’s most talented elo- cutionists.

Hiram Perkinson (“Fatty Arbuckle”) P. D. C. ’19, ’20. Turn back, oh time, in thy flight, and give me Mellon’s Food again for tonight.” The fact that Hiram is the most sought-for man in the Senior class is probably due to the fact that every- body loves a fat man.” g Fern Perry (“Tiny”) This youthful maiden of dimunitive Size Is very quiet, but very wise. If called on forty-Meven times a day She’d always, always make an A.” Twenty-four SENIORS Viola Abbott (“Vie”) Tiger Council; Basketball ’20; Royal Dramatic Club. She’s as present as the air.

Of birds and trees and honey bees. This maid doth often write. Longfellow and Poe should hide a shamed face When she comes before our sight. A poetess she is of high degree. She’ll be a success, take it from me. Ersa McLennan (“Bob”) Debating Club ’19. ‘‘Always comes up smiling.” Ersa is very much liked by all N. H. S. students because of his sunny dis- position. A future business man. Tinne May Knighten (“Teny”) Normal Training ‘‘A youthful maiden, blooming and hardy. With only one fault—she’s always tardy.” Tinne May confesses to us that her greatest desire is to live in New York and to be a leader in society circles there.

A. ’19, ’20; Forensia. There’s a gift beyond the reach of art, and that is being eloquently silent.” Marian is blonde, demure and quiet —a rare and pleasant combination.

Helen Vincent (“Mite”) Orchestra; Royal 3- Philomathea ’17; Dramatic Club. She proves the old adage: “Giris are made of sugar and spice and everything nice.” Helen has charmed old N. H.

But Audra is so nice That the latter does not to her apply. •vy • r Elizabeth Armstrong (“Lizzie ) Trail Staff; Normal Training; Forensia. “Let us attempt to lighten care by drowning reason.” Bess has perhaps the most nimble tongue in N.

Lawrence Snapp (“Larry ) If this boy will live up to his name His will be a future of glory and fame. For. dear students, listen, begorry. It alwa s takes “snap” to win the glory.

A movie actress she'll be, and grand. And we’ll be glad she’s from our band. Thirty-five 9ZD iiiimiiiiiiiiiiiuiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiririiiiifififiimtfiifiiiiF t SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The hobo homeward plods his weary way. But the shadows of night creep over the pastures and he is forced to seek a resting place. Looking about, he saw a beautiful farmhouse, surrounded by many well- filled barns. As it grew darker, he made his way to the nearest one and crawl- ing into a convenient corner, the sleep of the just came to him and he slept soundly until morning. Early the next day he was awakened by a woman’s voice bidding her husband goodbye as he went to his daily work. The voice had a familiar note and peeping around the corner, who should he see but Margaret McKinney and that Price boy whom she went with in those good old days when she was a senior in old N. H. S. “Oh! Dave, a tramp!” and then, “Harrell Bailey!” she screamed. “Howdy, folks, can you give me a bite to eat?” After being properly fed, our former class president resumed his journey. And in due time he reached the town of “Traveler’s Dream.” Traveler’s Dream was a “one-hoss” country town in the state of “Futureland” and above its deep and dreamless sleep the silent years go by. Harrell was about to pass this town when his eye was attracted by a glaring poster announcing the one night stand of the “Berry-Bumgarner Cir- cus.” The idea of applying for a job as clown struck him and with quickened steps he went in search of the circus tents. “Well, I’ll be gosh-durned, the name of that sign-board looked familiar— “The Ruth Roark School of Dancing.” I believe I’ll just go in and see if it could be the Ruth Roark I knew in N. H. S.” “Come in,” called a deep voice from within, as he knocked at the door. Entering a brilliantly lighted room, he came face to face with Dwight Whit- well. After cordial greetings were exchanged they sat down to talk of the old times. “Well, Dwight, why do you call this the Ruth Roark School? In honor of your old sweetheart? What has become of her?” “Ruth is now Mrs. Whitwell. At present she is out of town. What has become of your sister, Ouida ? ” “Oh, she is in Alaska, helping George Roane, a civil engineer, build railroads. I met Byron Van Camp a few days ago. He is peddling ‘Nelson’s' Hair Tonic and Dressing.’ We now know his secret for glossy straight hair. Thirty-wix SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) He told me that Birdean is advertising manager of the latest ‘Fads’ in a leading store in Pumpkin Center.” “By the way, Bailey, if you are still single, Mildred Holland is running a matrimonial bureau, guaranteed to bring results. Townsend McClure, who teaches physics in our high school, won his wife, Peryl Jennings, through this agency.” “Oh, boy, I’ll try. Well, so long, trying to get a job is hard work. Oh, yes! I nearly forgot; one day I was laying by the railroad track. Paul Faulk- ner, a news butch, threw me a copy of Mabyl (Fox) Snapp’s latest novel, ‘Moonlight Nights.’ Keen book.” Harrell proceeded down the street until he came to a large canvas tent, which he knew was a circus. Walking boldly up to the manager’s tent, tnerc applied for and got a job as clown. While distractedly hunting for his dressing room, he ran onto Birdie Hicks and Earl Chesher patiently practising their “specialty” dancing act. They could not tell him where his tent was, so, wandering until he came to a small tent marked “Pete and Tiny, Shimmie Shakers,” he went in, think- ing it might be empty. There sat Agnes Wolf and Thelma Walker. They told him that his tent was the one adjoining. Bailey darted swiftly into the next tent, and to his horror became en- tangled with a mass of wriggling snakes. Thinking that his last moment had come, he began to pray. Margaret McClure, the snake charmer, stepped in, “just in the nick of time” and quieted the snakes. Our former president hurried out and going a little way further, he came upon a beauty parlor and was met at the door by Miles. Cecile Miller and Olive Ogborn. When they recognized Harrell they willingly loaned him a “friendly” screen and he hastily donned his clown suit. A few hours later, with Vie Abbott in the box office selling tickets and Flora Walker stationed at the door, the performance began. Bailey, peer- ing from behind the band wagon, could see the entire audience. Sitting in the “reserved” section, for they had “comp” tickets, were Ross Rutherford and his wife, formerly Jewel Eley. Sitting next to them were Helen McCoy and her husband, Edward Barbour, the city dog-catcher. Hearing a commotion they all turned to see the town marshall, Harry Fla- hearty, in the act of catching three old men, Robert Durkee, Cliflord Bowles Thirty-seven I9ZD ii I min 111111111 ■ 1111 ii i mi 11II ■ i li 11 III 11111 inn iiiiiimnm SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) and Jack Engleman, slipping under the tent. This scene was greeted by shrieks and shrill screams of laughter from the top row of “the chicken roost.” There, eating popcorn and peanuts sat a whole row of old maid school teach- ers: Nellie Beavers, Erma Thompson, Metaline Cathey, Hazel Ullman and Addie Wilson. All the uproar suddenly ceased as a stately and dignified procession entered the tent. It composed the firm and office force of Buchanan Cap- shaw, famous small-town lawyers, and their stenographer, Hiram Perkinson. Who next should Bailey see but Mattie Muldrow dancing on a tight rope and Margaret Newblock performing acrobatic stunts. The thought instantly came to him that these girls had taken these performances as life work to re- duce their weight. Harrell’s gaze went to the other ring where Grace South- ern was putting her educated baboons through their tricks, while Roxey Fitch, the human butterfly, was whirling through the air above. There were many people that wore bouquets of “ferns and evergreens” which had been purchased from Sybil Webb and Susie Smith. Darting to and fro among the crowd were Opal McNamee and Elizabeth Armstrong sell- ing “Juicy Fruit” chewing gum. Close behind followed Alberta Guthrie, Bertha Maple and Lucile Snapp selling peanuts and popcorn for a Y. W. “benefit.” Henry Hunt and George McKinney, fakirs, caused much wonderment by their sleight-of-hand performances. But at this point the show was inter- rupted by a mad inrush of high school students who were holding a “pep meeting.” Carried high on their shoulders sat Edward Johnson, their athletic coach. The students were led in several rousing yells by James Buchanan, Jr., who was quite as enthusiastic as his father, the N. H. S. yell leader in 1920. The last act was advertised as “stunts” by a trained giraffe. But after a few stunts, a pin broke, the giraffe skin slipped, and there, exposed to the sinful gaze of man, stood Earl Hazel and Albert Brauer. With shrieks of laughter and cries of indignation the crowd surged from the tent. Passing the box office they demanded their money back. The show went broke, leaving our hobo to the lonely road once more. And again the Class of ’20 was scattered to the four winds.

Forty-two HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS The men and women of the good ship Junior watched for many days and nights for the first glimpse of land. They had been sailing for three long months on an unknown sea and knew not where it was to lead them. Rumors had reached the ears of the captain and crew of strange people, known as teachers, who dwelt in this unreached land. Others thought them wild beasts who lived for no other purpose than to devour all humans who ap- proached their kingdom. Thus, much worried were these young people, who had lived for eight long years in the land of Grade, when on or about the 9th of September, 191 they landed on a strange land, which they immediately christened High School. After advancing a little inland, they found this new land to be, not of the stone age, as they had expected, but a land that had seen more advanced tribes. These tribes had built a strange though beautiful building, now al- most in ruins. Explorations showed this place to be even more strange than all mystic Egypt. The grounds about the queer construction were much beaten and trodden. Vaults were found in the building that contained all of the dead languages. All might have been well had they only left when the exploring was done, but some of the boys and girls insisted upon sitting on the great stone steps to talk, and before they realized what had happened two men came up, and after coaxing them into a little room, began to talk to them in a strange language, asking them what course they were going to take. When they attempted to escape the children were seized and held captive under the government of the School Board Tribe. Here they have been for.three long years, but their time was not wasted. These little people took as their mis- sion to educate the natives. Some of the tribes accepted their learning and teachings with open arms. With the tribe of School Board they could do nothing, they were a stubborn tribe and refused to be taught. Not so with the tribe teachers; these natives were ready to learn. They even kept these little people in long after their camp should be closed that they might learn more of their ways and customs. And it is because of the help of the Juniors from the land of Grade to the Tribe of Teachers that their work has not been in vain. Only one more year and they will be free to set upon the seas and explore further. —EVERONY. Forty-three SDZfil mm jaoj-XjJoj pr O M vvR; u aW v .

Bequeathing our rattles and comforters to our successors and laying aside our mantles of green we presented credentials for entrance as Sopho- mores at Norman High School one fine day in September, 1919. When we had reviewed our ranks we found that most all of the ninety odd Fresh- men had come safely over the top and made a splendid record. As Freshmen under Mrs. Fitzpatrick our class was running over with pep for we distinguished ourselves not only in classes but on the gridiron. The most interesting feature of the year was the picnic. In May, a short time after the finals the Sophomores and Freshmen classes decided to have a picnic together, but despite of the downpour of rain it was a great success. As Sophomores of 1919-20 we started out to do our level best and to accomplish something that we would be proud of later, thus leave foot- prints on the sands of time. At the first class meeting Elvita Minteer was elec- ted president, and Mattie Shives was chosen secretary and treasurer. Before the Christmas holidays the try-outs were held to determine who should be the Sophomore debators. Ethyl Walker, Marshall Hart, and Clement Mayo were selected to represent the class. Although we were beaten by most worthy op- ponents, yet we took it in the proper spirit. Later the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams were organized and caused much enthusiasm in the Sophomore class. We defeated the Freshmen in one game, but our victory was snatched away by the Junior and Senior teams. Some may say that the Sophomore class is dead, but they should remember that “Still water runs deep.” LOUISE LITTLE. Fifty-one SOPHOMORES VYl. AY On. BturVcC.

This brilliant class, known as the “Evergreens,” has been an eager and most able participant in all of the worthwhile activities of Norman High. Hal Muldrow was the president and Zurah Steer was vice-president. To- gether with Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Denbo, the class sponsors, they conducted the class affairs very successfully. The Freshman debating team won over the Sophomore team, but in the end the Freshmen were defeated by the Seniors. In athletics this class figured conspicuously. It had men on the high school football team and two letter men on the basketball team. Also the class was extra well represented on the base- ball team and on the track. This class was the largest in the High School and was, most assuredly, one of the “peppiest” classes of any in school. This was shown in the fact that in class meetings our yell was heard all over the campus while all the other classes listened in awe The Freshmen bid you now adieu, Till next year when we meet anew. Not as Freshmen, that we late have been, But a step higher, will we be seen. Yes, Sophomores we then will be, Laughing and dancing in joyous glee, Because we are farther away from the tail. And nearer than ever to the end of the Trail. ELIZABETH PRICE, ’23. Fifty-seven FRESHMEN B ca.Yo w 'I RewtepoVUey BaiVLe ■ cun rrv.A.rt n ccK IXOU 1 a.YriYi toYx.

The Boys’ Parliamentary Debating Club met soon after the first semester began and elected officers. Dwight Whitwell was chosen as president and Mr. Ward as sponsor. From the start there was “pep” in every line of work. The club meets every Monday night at seven thirty in the auditorium and many and in- teresting are the discussions that are held. Besides giving a comprehensive and practical learning of how to conduct parliamentary drill it affords the members education on the most important questions of the day. As the world approaches the highest standard of democracy the necessity for expression of the individual increases proportionately. It is a conceded fact that the leaders of tomorrow will be those who can put their ideas before the public. In preparation for this thing the club is doing its work. It is preparing future leaders. The Girls’ Forensia Club has not been inactive during the year. Under the efficient leadership of Mrs. Johnson, sponsor, and Miss Ruth Reed, presi- dent, the club has progressed wonderfully. The standard that the girls have set is one that Norman High School has a right to be justly proud. The efforts of these two clubs has been not only to supply the instructive and educational debates, but to add to the social life of its members. The For- ensia held their annual Saint Patrick’s Banquet in the ball room of the Tee Pee, on the sixteenth of March. The toasts and speeches that were made would have done credit to people of far greater experience. In return the P. D. C.’s gave a banquet and dance in honor of the Forensia. The High School try-out was the first Friday in February. The following teams were chosen to represent the school: James Buchanan, James Ryan, and Chester Capshaw were selected for the League Team, and Miss Nellie Beavers, Dwight Whitwell and Marshall Hart were chosen for the State-at- large Team. In the first debate of the League Norman met and defeated Ada. After Purcell forfeited our team went to Pauls Valley where, in one of the closest debates ever staged, we lost to our opponents by a two to one decision. To the 192 1 debators we extend our best wishes for success and we hope that the clubs will be even better next year than before. J� lxly-two Chester Capshaw James Buchanan James Ryan (Capt.)

DEBATING TEAMS FIRST TEAM CLASS DEBATING TEAMS Sixty-four !9ZQ SENIOR DEBATING TEAM Ross Rutherford Dwight Whitwell Nellie Beavers CLASS DEBATES The class debates of ’20 were especially interesting because of the com- petition that arose between the classes. Immediately after the Christmas holi- days the preliminaries were held in each class to decide who should have the honor of representing the classes. Those chosen were: Seniors, Dwight Whit- well, Ross Rutherford and Nellie Beavers; Juniors, James Ryan, Clemma Cor- bett and Salone Smith; Sophomores, Clement Mayo, Ethel Walker and Mar- shall Hart; Freshmen, Lois Nethery, Robert McCall and Elizabeth Price. After much preparation the first contest was held to see who would debate in the finals. After the dust of oratory had cleared away it was found that the Seniors had triumphed over the Juniors and that the Freshmen were victorious over the Sophomores. Both winning classes were very jubilant over the out- come, and both loudly predicted that they would be the winner in the end. So with both sides strongly supported the Friday came when the Sen- iors clashed with the Freshmen. The question that they debated was: “Re- solved that Universal Military Training should be adopted in the United States.” There were many logical reasons brought out in the discussion that showed that the question had been comprehensibly studied. The judges re- turned a decision of two to one in favor of the Seniors, who were upholding the negative side of the question. This left them in undisputed possession of the field. So the team gained the honor of being the first to win the new cup that was offered by the Board of Education. Sixty-five U.JAOS-AJXIS p-pzi Back Row: Hart. Capshaw.

Only allow us to attach our boat to the ark. Mr. Ward: Oh! woeful day, say that we may stay or we may drown. Mr. Faulkner: There will be no great load, mind you.

Noah: Prepare to leave in a short time. Mr. Faulkner: I have it! Allow us to change places with the doves. Noah: That is not easily done. Mr. Ward: Do let us do that. It’s common sense that tells you we couldn’t use the doves’ perches. They enter the ark’s apartments. Mr. Ward (near the doves’ cages) : What are you doing? May I come in? Noah’s children (feeding the doves) : We are feeding the doves. Mr. Ward: Why so much noise? Why don’t you assign that task to a certain person?

George is a Norman boy, he learned his first football in the grade school here, then played four years on the high school team. After this he received one year’s coaching under Owens at the Uni- versity. Besides playing Abbott learned every principle of the game which was shown in his ability at coaching. Abbott at all times held the confidence of his men. George will coach here next year and will put out a fine team. “Je Le Chilst.” ntiimiiiiiimiiiiiriiiififiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiifiimjimiiiiiiim Eighty-five FOOTBALL BOYS Bowles is the heaviest man on the team.

Edward Johnson (“Bratch”) Weight 142 lbs. Quarterback (Capt.) As captain of the team Eddie showed great ability. He was one of the best brok- en field runners in the state. He was out the last of the season because of sickness. He graduates this year. Henry Hunt (“Oily”) Weight 165 lbs. Right Tackle Henry had hard luck this year, for he received a fractured knee and was out of the last games. He was fast and a very hard tackier. This is his second and last year on the team.

Halfback Harry was out most of the season on account of a broken collar bone, but after getting in the game he showed up well. He was an excellent line plunger and forward passer. This is his last year. Robert Durkee (“Tulsa Babe”) Weight 145 lbs. Center Although this is Bob’s first year on the team, he proved to be a valuable man at center. Durkee’s strong point was break- ing up passes. Unfortunately he graduates this year. Earl Sadler (“Sod”) Weight 119 lbs. Center Earl started the game strong, but re- ceived a fractured wrist in the second game which kept him out of most of the remaining games. He was an accurate passer and good at intercepting passes. He has one more year. KlKhty-seven I19Z0 iiinnnniiiiiniinn«umiiiinnmminmim� Htmimurr FOOTBALL BOYS Earl Langford (“Chick”) Weight 152 lbs. Right Half This was Langford’s third year on the team at half. He was noted for his line plunging and broken field running. Lang- ford will be back next year as one of Nor- man’s mainstays. Malcolm Shead (“Grinner”) Weight 142 lbs. Fullback This is Shead’s third and last year on the team, as he is a Senior. He showed marked ability at fullback, especially in open field running and defense. He was captain during Johnson’s absence. Eighty-eight I9ZD Dee Williams (“Horseshoe”) Weight 132 lbs. Left Guard Although the lightest man on the team he played a brilliant game at guard. Dee was in every play fighting hard all the time. Williams has two more years on the team. Lester was shifted from end to half, and because of the newness of the job he did not gain his stride until the latter part of the season. Stout will undoubtedly be an all-state man next year. Eighty-nine Weight 139 lbs. Right End Fred Berry (“Andy”) Weight 161 lbs. Berry started the year as guard, where he showed up very good. Andy was a stone wall on defense, an exceedingly hard tackier and a tine man at tackle. He graduates this year. Tom Taylor (“Kid Kief”) This was Tom’s third year on the team. Tom was a fine receiver of passes and good at carrying the ball, as he was very fast. He played quarter during John- son’s absence, where he showed great ability. Lester Stout (“One-Yard Wonder”) Weight 133 lbs. Tackle Left Half ; FOOTBALL BOYS Louis Lindsay (“Sindsay”) Weight 58 lbs. Mascot Louis proved a valuable man on the squad because on the trips he was always ready to beat his way. Louis proved an all-American selection in crap shooting. He will be with the team next year. Loron Martin (“Snooks”) Weight 156 lbs. Guard Martin started the season at half, but was shifted to guard, where he showed great ability in breaking up the opposing plays. He could be depended upon to open large holes in the line. He will be back next year. Frank Locke (“Fritz”) Weight 137 lbs. Left End Locke was shifted from half to the wing position, where he showed up wonderfully on the defense. The opposing teams gained only twenty yards around his end this year—’null said. He will be captain next year. Ninety I9ZD Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiifiiiiiiiiiiiiittifiiiiiiiir piiiHii miiiinimiiimiiiM THE FIRST TEAM As usual, Norman put out an excellent team. Although being a team that was outweighed in every game, yet they lost but one game of the eight played, this being the time when the team was badly injured, having four men out of the game either with injuries or being sick. Norman won second state honors. Coach Abbott started his squad practicing on August 27. After five weeks of hard practice, Norman met Guthrie and defeated them, 34-6; next came Ponca City, as one of the strongest teams in the northern part of the state, and they returned home beaten sixty-eight points. The games from then until the Oklahoma City games were easy victories. Norman went against Okla- homa City in a crippled condition, and there met her first defeat by a score of 21 to 7. The support of the student body and the townspeople was a large factor in putting out Norman’s team, as they were backing the boys to the limit. THE SECOND TEAM Norman High’s second team this year was as good as the average high school team. This team was composed of the men who will uphold the grid- iron honor for the next few years. The men on this team were McCall and McElhaney, ends; Capshaw and Crownover, tackles; Crisp and Ferry, guards; Davis, center; Ince, quarterback; Cottrel, fullback, and Ryan and Anderson, halfbacks. These men. when used on the first team, showed the old Norman fighting spirit.

Among the thirty men that will report for practice, only four letter men will appear. These are Captain Henry Hunt, third base; Eddie Johnson, second base; Byron Van Camp, short stop, and Clifford Bowles, left field and pitcher. Among the new material that will appear is Rutherford, pitcher; Snapp and Gomez, infields; Price, McCall, Fairy and Flehearty, field. Last year Norman won second place in the tournament at Stillwater; also second place in the state tournament at the University. Norman High School will have as good a team this year, and from the amount of material should have a better one. TRACK For the last few years track has been one of the minor activities of Nor- man High School, but Coach Abbott intends to revive the old track interest this year. Out of the material that will be available a very formidable team can be built. Among the most promising men are Braur and Flahearty, dashes; Williams, distance races; Johnson, hurdles; Brauer and Bowles, weights, and Price in the pole vault and high jump. TENNIS Tennis bids fair to be one of Norman High School’s most popular activ- ities this spring. The tennis work is in the hands of James Buchanan and Paul Faulkner. The court has been repaired and smoothed and a large num- ber of contestants are hard at work improving their skill in preparation for the coming meet at the University. Announcements of the preliminaries have been made. The winners in this will represent the school, and we are sure that they will uphold the standard of the school faithfully.

Although almost a new kind of athletics in Norman, yet the team showed up very well, having won four of the live games played and totaling 209 points to opponents' 69 so far in the season. The men composing this team are Captain Rutherford, guard; Snapp, guard; Price, center; Johnson, forward; McCall, forward; Bowles, guard; Ferry, guard, and Fleming, forward. Of this team the ones that will graduate this year are Rutherford, Snapp, Johnson and Bowles, but on the second team we have men who will very ably till the positions left open by the ones that will graduate. The girls, not to be left behind, organized a basketball team with Sybil Webb as their captain. This proved to be a very excellent team, as is shown by their scores. They have not lost to an out-of-town team yet. The girls on this team, are Captain Sybil Webb, forward; Dorothy McCall, for- ward; Lydia Haigg, center; Maude Kitchen, side center; Pauline Slover, guard; Margaret McKinney, guard; Betty Adkins, forward; Vie Abbott, forward; Leta Martin, guard; Reland Britt, guard. CLASS BASKET BALL After a period of six years, in which N. H. S. has had no class basket ball, it was again taken up, and there was much interest shown in the games by both the students and people of the town. Good playing marked most of the games, yet some of them were more of a fight than a basket ball game. The Senior boys won flie championship by defeating the Sophomores in the final game. The Juniors were second, the Sophomores third and the Freshmen fourth. The Senior girls won the girls’ championship, the Juniors were second, the Freshmen third and the Sophomores fourth.

No other profession can claim one- fifth as great a demand. In fact, this proves that there is a greater demand for business training than all other trades combined.

Some Freshmen are looking so far ahead that they are continually stum- bling over their own feet. Lawrence Snapp: “I’ll bet a kiss that 1 kiss you.” Dwight Whitwell: “Oh, my darling, may I be your captain and guide you down the sea of life? ” Ruth Roark: “No, but you may be my second mate.” “Charlie,” said Miss Barbour, “what is the term ‘etc.’ used for?” Charlie Scott: “It is used to make people believe we know a lot more than we do.” In an American history exam, this question was asked: “If the president and the vice president should die, who would officiate? ” After much thought Albert Brauer wrote, “The undertaker.” Miss Black: “Dave, write a ‘short’ theme on baseball.” David Price handed in the next day: “Rain, no game.” “Weldon, what is a polygon?” Weldon Bumgarner: “A polygon is a dead parrot.” WANTED A complete set of baby things.— Apply Clifford Bowles.

If he can’t catch on the baseball team he can land a job as professor.” Fred Berry: “How did the whale that swallowed Jonah obey the divine law?” Edward Johnson: “Jonah was a stranger and he took him in.” “G-g-goood evening,” said Ross, who had come to speak to Jewel’s father. “Good evening,” said Mr. Eley. You look a little nervous, how do you feel?” “Flattered,” replied Ross, “I was afraid I looked scared to death.” Clifford Bowles: “Where are you going at this time of night?” Robert Durkee: “I'm—hie—goin’ to a lecture.” One Hundred Twenty-five C) O' — o o — in m cc CC cc ' 1 tT Tf o o O tv. cc o Cs Cl C o O o o o o o c o ■M c rj r w -- O o tv. iO rc ’’T r � o sO o Cx CC cc 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i i 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Cs X UJ Q 2 9 h a M m u.
