We were called to the auditorium by class sponsors to have our first class meeting. Where we were given our new’ name “Freshmen and there we elected our officers whose duty it was to lead us up the first thorny steps toward the ultimate goal of achievement. Victor Bracht was elected president; Edith Newblock, vice-president; and Robert Barhour. the secretary and treasurer; Miss Barhour and Miss Butler were our sponsors. The Freshmen were well represented in all activities. In November the class showed pep by having a Freshmen Party” in the “Old Gym. Outside of our ability to entertain ourselves we were outstanding in ability to put over a business proposition. We were the first to turn n money for our pages in the Trail. Fighty-two Freshmen remained faithful to the end of the term until our laliors of the year were over. Advanced in honor and title to Sophomores, we enrolled one hundred strong with promising prospects. Again Miss Butler and Miss Barlmur were our kind sponsors. With Lewis Day, presi- dent; Beatrice Folmar. vice-president; and Kohert Barlstur, secretary and treasurer, we endeavored to make our Sophomore year successful. There was more interest than usual shown in activities this year. Again our class was the first to turn in the money for the Trail. Our Sophomore year thus completed we looked forward to the coming fall with the hope of one hundred and fifty classmates. How grand it was to he a Junior! Most of our plans centered on making the class finan- cially able to have the customary Junior-Senior entertainment. In March a play was given, entitled “Safety First” to aid in this undertaking. We made about eighty-five dollars from the play. In April the Junior Carnival was the attraction of the month. This raised our financial standing forty dollars. In May we entertained the Seniors with a banquet which we know sur- passed any other ever given. We were glad to have had as our president. Herman Mitschrich; vice- president, Ted Keynelds; and secretary and treasurer. David Lindsay. Miss Barintur was still faithful as sponsor, the others were Miss Cralle and Miss Bieber. Our work, joys and disappoint- ments as members of the Junior class ended in the spring with the closing of the scholastic year and the magical name of Seniors was embedded in all our hearts and we were ready to enter our last efforts toward graduation - the Senior year. Our class officers who had been elected at the close of the prevous year, are: Thomas Armstrong, president; Robert Barintur, vice-president; Dorothy Downing, secretary and Egbert Clement, treasurer; and with these as leaders we felt confident that this would be our greatest year. Also at the time of this election Herman Mitschrich was elected Editor and Dick Downing Business Manager of the Trail. Our greatest endeavor this year has been to make the Trail the best in the history of our school. To help finance this publication “Ellen Elopes, a play was presented under the supervision of Mrs. Elmore and Miss Wiest. our sponsors. The closing class event was the annual Spring Senior Class Flay which was in April. The Juniors entertained for us with an informal Junior-Senior Event during the last of March. This is always given as the Senior Farewell. It will really not Ik Farewell for us because we will always return to our Alma Mater and ever as alumni of the class of '24 her praises will always be sung to the tune of “Norman High School.” twenty .19 2 4 THE TRAIL LJijiJlllIl: VELMA RICHARDSON Y.

I had lab- ored long and diligently over the “Who’s who in America. without finding a member of my Senior class among them. Angered at this rebuke to genius and ability. I had been fired with a noble and lofty inspiration which I hoped would win for me the fame and renown that had hitherto been ignored by an indifferent world. It was a worthy cause and one which I felt confident my class would feel grateful for. I intended by careful reward to gather a complete collection of the life records of my class mates and publish them in a book upon which I would bestow the flattering title “Great Personages of America which hate been overlooked. A sign almve a small shop which I was passing reading “Tea for the Tired” with the words written underneath in small letters “All problems solved here caused me to pause and the thought dawned upon me that here I might find some aid, and I entered. As I closed the door behind me I seemed to have entered another world. The room was decidedly oriental in its furnishings, and the atmosphere heavy and oppressive. The room was hung with heavy draperies which were designed with curious grotesque figures which completely concealed all openings. It resembled anything other than a tea room for there was only one table in sight, and it was of massive wood and heavily carved. I sank into a great chair placed before it. At this moment my eyes rested upon the opposite side of the room and I discerned a slight movement of the draperies, another moment and they were drawn apart and the most peculiar waitress I had ever seen brought a tray to the table and placed it beside me. She moved about with noiseless stealthy movements, one could not say she walked. This creature I firmly believe, was possessed with some demoniacal power, her face was calm and inexpressive of any emotion. Her eyes were fascinating and seemed to burn into your soul. They glowed with an evil mocking fire and held my gaze riveted into them. With a half smile, she placed the steaming tea before me and in low musical accents bade me drink. 1 drank and marvelled at the excellent quality of the beverage which had a strange sooth- ing influence making life very comfortable and the life story of the Seniors of 1924 very vague. 1 remember stating my request but my words were incoherent and speech was such a task. My vigor and energy were gone and a gentle inertia had seized me. This creature agreed to comp’y with my request and gliding to a farther end of the room she withdrew a heavy curtain. The lights were extinguished, hut from a huge shrine a vapor of incense arose, dense and heavy with a suffocating fragrance, and I would have rushed outdoors if the power to move had remained with me. At this moment the incense curled into definite form and spelled into feathery green letters, the words. “.Seniors of 1924 in 19-4-4.” Upon the stage a screen had been placed and the words were flashed. Spring fashions of 1944 designed by the famous Parisian authority, the Honorable Dale Wingate. I was not surprised to find Dale s vocation of this nature remembering his old admiration for feminine attire, and eagerly turned my attention to the scene. It seemed to be a garden plot of ancient Rome, so magnificent were the surroundings. Then a vision seemed to float upon the scene, a vision of misty loveliness and unmatched grace. She was draped, one could not say she was dressed without feeling they were doing an injustice to the perfection of Mr. Wingate's art. in a radiant gown, a creation of fashion and ethereal beauty. As I looked closer into the model's face. I recognized her instantly as Beryl Stone. But another figure now entered the scene clothed in dainty attire of super smartness. Her poise was familiar and I recognized her at once as Opal Green. After breathing a sigh of admira- tion and envy of these two favored ones. I looked again to see what would he revealed. Gorrine Rackley and Roy Perkins starring in “The Barbarian.” A Revised Production of David Lindsey s book of the West—Directed by Bethel Turbyfill. In the supporting cast are: I.ewis Dav. a drug addict: Ted Reynolds, an internal revenue officer: Dorothy Downing, social leader; Wilma Gorton, the other woman. I was deeply interested in the progress of the play and rejoiced in the dramatic conclusion when Corrine gave up the culture and social life in the East and returned to the Barbarian's log cabin in the West. The Barbarian, as played by Roy Perkins was an ideal movie hero. The next scene was heart rending. It showed a beautiful home with the motto inscribed upon the door, WVlcome Those who have Failed in I ve.“ A girl entered weeping, and two charming women hastened to meet her with outstretched hands and words of comfort. The girl, who was Myrtis Stockton, looked into the faces of her comforters and with a little cry of joy thirty-two 19 2 4 ass THE TRAIL recognized them as Blanche Bagget and I Dell Shives who were conducting this delightful home. Three other phantom faces arose on the scene and a question mark enclosed each of them. They were Lewis, Troy and Le Hoy, hut there was no explanation given as to what happened to these three lovers who were so ideal in Norman Hi. The scene left the three girls chatting over old days, their faces calm, sweet and Beautiful in despair. The next scene was almost too much. The words “First Woman President, stood out in huge commanding letters, “Bertha McCall wins victory over Republican candidate. Hamilton Green.” Her picture was then shown, taken with the Vice President and Secretary of State. I.ois Grim and Marylenc Moore. The next scene showed Carder Thornten, the popular dancing teacher conducting a class of amateurs. He and Elaine Kceble were doing a series of fascinating whirls, steps and daring antics of the ballroom. A huge cathedral lifting its lofty lowers al ove the common buildings was revealed now. AImiuI the spacious grounds strolled the devout sisters taking a moment's recreation from duty. Two of them struck me oddly as familiar. As I tried to place them a small child rushed forward and greeted them as Sister Lucille and Norma. A small cafe was now the center. The proprietor looked very dignified as he went almut issuing orders. His dignity instantly vanished when he came before the cashier. She flashed her beautiful eyes upon him and in scorning accents accused him of openly flirting wth one of the table hops, Dorit Turner. The scene faded leaving Carl Bashara pleading vainly for forgiveness from his wife, the beautiful Hermione. A Great High School structure was now seen. The interior of the building was perfectly equipped and the departments conveniently arranged. Behind the superintendent's desk Herman Mitchrich issued orders to Flora Belle Mitchell, the office girl. Other members of the faculty were Alice Houston, History: Edith Buush. Domestic Science; Pauline Brides. Commercial: Frank Flood. Athletic Coach and Egbert Clement, janitor in which capacity he was unusually capable. The next scene was a court mom. The judge. George Roberts, had pronounced two years’ sentence at Sing Sing upon Dale Vincent for stealing from the hot tamale wagon of I.e Roy Craven. The jury consisting of Omie Risinger. Ruth Stinson. Irene Miller, Hazel Ryan, and Naomi Dishman showed the relentlessness of women as jurors. A broad steamer embarked for voyage next flashed upon the scene. Two upon the deck showed plainly that they were just embarking upon the sea of matrimony and the first storm was ruffling the waves. These two were Verna Parham and her husband Wendell Barbour who was confident his fair wife bestowed her affection upon the Captain of the ship. Gay Hickock, and was threatening to plunge into the great deep below. Others on the ship were Edla Gaylord, Naoma Morris, Anna I«ee James and Alice Ralston, who were going to Africa as missionaries to the heathen. Dick Downing, the well known globe trotter whose nerves had l eon completely broken down, due to the excessive work which he de voted to the Trail, was also al oard the ship. A picture in the Senate House showed Robert Barour speaker of the House and Robert Hughes in active combat over the new proposed amendment. “Soft drink Prohibition. Next a car speeding ah ng at a rapid rate came to a sudden halt. A masked figure jumped from each side of the road and pointed a revolver in the face of the occupants, Doris Pearson and Blanch Vaughn, who were touring the country for diversion, were submitted to a thorough search and afterward released. The masked figures proceeded to examine their haul and determine its worth. As a flashlight revealed their features. I saw to my dismay that two of my class mates, Thomas Armstrong and Tom Blair had resorted to this occupation as highway bandits. At this moment the screen disappeared, the room resumed its ordinary appearance and the waitress came in and informed me that if I wanted to sleep I could go to a tea room where beds were offered. “But Dorothy and Patty, and the others,” I cried eagerly, “What l ecame of them?” You must be dreaming child, how should I know.” she answered and hurried me to the door. As a flood of sunshine entered the room I recognized the lady as Mildred Bumgarner who had played me such an evil trick. But the Seniors of 1924. I thought bitterly, their fates are what? And the question still hovers about my lips. 19 2 4 thlrty-thre« Class Will Know all men by these presents:— That we. the 1924 Senior Class of N. H. S., being of sound health and supposedly sane mind, do hereby make our last will and testament. We bequeath to the now insignificant Junior who longs beyond words to be like us, our sterling worth and shining example. We leave to the student body and faculty, a haunting memory and ever pleasant thoughts of our year at the head of the school activities. This building we leave to as many classes as it will hold, for as long as it will hold them. The following we name as our personal heirs to-wit:— To Miss Amhrister we leave an ample supply of chairs to replace those that might meet with mishap. We leave to Miss Ray a man to act in capacity of chauffeur. We assign to Mr. Gifford a study hall so quiet and attentive that they will hear and obey his slightest whispered wish. In case of his absence we bequeath his whistle to the person who is given his unruly Study Hall. We will Miss Davies egg beater and potato masher to her First year class to he used after her most effective method. Herman Mitschrich and Dick Downing leave their Trail alibis for getting out of classes to whoever holds their august positions next year. May this class be an inspiration to “Slivers McCargo, so that when he sees us go on to success and greater things he will endeavor to make the necessary sixteen (16) units to graduate. Byrne Gerhart, upon his departure, returns the affection of Florine Richards to Shcm Smith. Egbert Clement and Corinne Rackley leave to Clarence Frost and Retta Pierce all Chapel privileges such as announcements introductions etc. Retta, we wish you luck in making suc- cessful introductions for all male quartets Dale Wingate leaves all his manly qualities to Haskell Walker. We request the fulfillment of Johnny Catherine’s most ardent desire, that she be always a center of attraction. Last, not least, but inevitably, two of our most affectionate couples Blanche Baggett and LeRoy Craven. Mertis Stockton and Lewis Day, relinquish all rights of strolling through the halls giggling, etc., and pass these rights on to Gladyce Pierce and W illiam Fenn and Martha Lee Grif- fin and Chas Vowell. For Mrs. Johnson, we hope there may be some unusually brilliant boy in the Freshman class for her to foster. Witness our hands and seals this fourteenth day of February. Nineteen Hundred Twenty Four.

The Junior class has distinguished itself in school activities, three of its members having constituted the State Debating Team, and the Aff. wing of the Southern Conference Team. The class has been adequately represented in the athletic field, one of the members being elected cap- tain of next year's football team. In this, and in other respects, the Junior class of '24 has shown itself quite able and worthy of assuming the duties and responsibilities of this year's graduating class.

Freshmen Class History In the year of our Lord. 1921 a juvenile band, some one hundred and seventy-five in number entered Norman High School. This gathering of high school students, eager to know and exper- ience and unlike so many predecessors, entered school with calm determined minds, ready to meet any difficulty arising, with faith, courage, and ability. To begin with, under the sponsorship combined in Mr. Gifford. Miss Scott, Miss Bobo. Miss Jones, and Miss Rorahough we elected Alvan Muldrow. president; Willis Taylor, secretary and treasurer: and Pauline Stewart, vice-president. Under these able leaders all our problems have been settled successfully. As was to be expected, the class participated prominently in all activities, social, athletic, and in school discipline. It is unnecessary to say more of this incomparable class, as one need only wait to see the glorious career of it unfold through the forthcoming years. 19 2 4 flfty-four THE TRAIL TULLEY MILLER STEWART PRICE WHITAKER WILMUTH MULDROWC 4 KAIIOE CORRELL STOCKTON K-0- BINKLEY BEARD MOORE X V MANES TULLEY fifty-five 9 2 4 M I)|H) HENDERSON COOPER Afty-six CHAMPEAU HOOPER McCOY WARREN DRESSER HUGHES RICHARDSON v SEAY McCalls I E KI.INE DAUGHTERY 19 2 4 ' THE TRAIL VM.

With all of the events run off except the relay race, Lawton held a two point lead thus making the winner of this race also the winner of the meet.

Norman High had a very good debating season for 1923-24. In the try-outs for state teams Hermione Barker, George Roberts, and William Wharton made the team. The first debate was with University High School on the State question: “Resolved that tin U. S. should grant immediate independence to tin Philippine Islands. Norman High up- held the negative and won by a two to one decision. The next debate was with Lindsay. Norman High was not so suc- cessful this time, since George Roberts was graduated at mid-term and could not retain his place on the team; Hermione Barker, having gone in for Senior dramatics was also unable to debate for N. II. S. with the result that two new debaters were pressed into service, namely Jerry Simms and Lynn Bullard. Though the debate with Lindsay resulted in defeat, it proved that our defeat was onlly due to lack of preparation and they showed their cap- abilities in the Southern Conference. The Southern Conference team was composed of Jerry Simms, Yynn Bullard and William Wharton, affirmative, and all juniors; and Alfred Storm Dale Vincent and Olin Tyler, negative. Our first Southern Conference debate was with Purcell, in which our negative lost and our affirmative won, both by three to one decisions. Our second debate was with Anadarko, in which Anadarko for- feited to our affirmative and lost to our negative. Our third and last debate was with Marlow, in which Marlow for- feited to our Affirmative and won over our Negative. This gave us 13 points out of a possible 18 in the Southern Confer- ence. and left us with one a 11-victorious Southern Conference team, the Affirmative, who have nine straight points in their favor. 19 2 4 : - •Ighty-vven THE TRAIL eighty-eight THE TRAIL BOOK IV SCHOOL LIFE I THE TRAIL ninety THE TRAIL 9 2 4 utnety-one at - THE TRAI i ...

A telephone call to 3 or 1300 will bring a ready response from the typo- graphical designer and es- timator. Barnum was referring I the circus business, not 1« the printing industry when he made his famous statement. It is a queer quirk of human nature that a person will fall for the ballyhoo al out the Wild Man of Borneo, spend his good money to see it. be disappointed, grin sheepishly as he slinks out of the tent, and yet not be downright angry alniut it. But if he buys a $7 piece of printing for $3.23 and finds out that the job is poorly done and that the job was really overpriced at $3.25 he waxes warm and becomes profane. Printing that is worth every cent paid for it is the kind that gives both parties complete and lasting satisfaction. For years The Transcript has watched with pride and interest the growth of N. H.
