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.
