This magic word of achievement in school, in life, or in the home symbolizes our aims for the Trail and our hopes for the nation. So it is upon this inspiring word—the password of democracy, the foundation of the hope and the freedom that we Americans so love—that we base the theme of the 1942 Trail. We of the Trail Staff desire to crystallize the ideas of victory in the minds of our students to make this symbol a talisman to guide the indomitable spirit of this great country in her hour of distress that victory will be in- evitable.

TO OUR COACHES rO two men who have worked untiringly with our boys and who have imbued them with the true American fighting spirit, which is Victory, we dedicate our yearbook. They have brought victory to our school in football, in basketball, and in other sports on the athletic front. As a result of their excellent coaching, our teams have enjoyed many well deserved triumphs. Their teams have brought us renown and are known throughout the state for their good sportsmanship, winning or losing. This year we are especially proud of them for their ability to guide our football team to the championship of the Mid-State Conference, an honor not accorded to our school since 1935. We take pride in honoring these two men who can both lead and inspire those with whom they work. To Charles “Chalky” Stogner and Arlo “Skivey” Davis, our coaches, we affectionately dedicate the 19 2 TRAIL. Coach Davit i a graduate of N. H. S. in the class of 1916.

Gerald Hollman Principal Marching On By Ella Mae Dodd Mr L. C. Lindsay • Vice-President Mr. Key Boyd President Mr. Neil R. Johnson OUR school board is to be complimented on their choice of seventy-five capable teachers to serve the enrollment of 2,112 in the entire Norman school system. Under the faculty’s excellent supervision, Norman placed second for the sixth consec- utive year in the Interscholastic Meet last spring in curricular events, despite the fact that Norman High School does not offer four years of foreign language. N. H. S. students are always in the upper brackets in scholas- tics as well as athletics and each year leave an enviable record. Mr. Gerald Hollman, our new principal, and Mr. G. M. Roberts, superintendent of schools, are keeping up with time by adding new courses and im- provements to our curriculum, buildings, and grounds. The national defense courses that were added last year were repeated again this year with apparent success. The school board sponsored the rearrangement of both offices and the library, giving them a more modernistic air. They also repaired all school buildings and library books that needed repairing. This is only a brief resume of what our school board has done for us. With their impartial judgment and unbiased opin- ion in dealing with all matters, they will help N. H. S. to march on to victory in all our undertakings. M . G M. Roberts Superintendent Mx Roberts in His NlTWLT Rr. MODELED Ornes Mr. Ltnn Bollard Mrs. S.

Ben Doherty, librarian. Each regularly enrolled student spends one hour every day in the library reading and studying. A successful person is recognized, to some extent, by his ability to speak well. Miss Odeal Locke, as head of the speech department, teaches her students the fundamentals of choral reading, public speaking, debate, and drama. The choral readers demonstrated ability during the Armistice assembly by their depictions of eras in American history. Ol« Club In P actic Mr James Walk Band Director Mis.

Mrs. Hudson is en- deavoring to maintain this record. Under the guidance of Mr. Walker, Bryce McFall, trombone soloist, won a “superior” rating in the national regional contest, while the saxaphone and flute quartets won an “excellent rating. The band fairly gloats over its six newly added majorettes. Nor- man High’s band is strictly on the “upbeat”, thanks to Mr. Walker. 1 The Canal of Languages Latin is the carpet on the floor of every classroom; for over half of the commonly used English words have Latin derivatives. The Latin language is a canal that spans the width of Europe and both Americas and draws us together in these troubled days. Our teacher, Miss Coreen Wilkerson, gives a clear knowledge of the meaning of the English words, a better under- standing of English syntax, and a basis for the study of other languages. Mrs. J. Ben Doherty and Miss Wilkerson in Spanish I and II are so thorough in their instructions that students can read, write, and sing in this romantic tongue. Mbs.

During the ten months program, three outside projects, one completed in the summer, are done by each student.

Eugene Locke and Arthur Or- tenburger, who won first and second places respectively in the geometry contest at the Interscholastic meet at O. U. last spring, put to proof their supreme power of concentration. Mathematics has innumerable uses, not only in the professional world but also in military and naval strategy. Norman High School students are thoroughly grounded in trig- onometry, Algebra I. Algebra III, plane geometry, and solid geometry, by two very capable teachers, Mrs. Lulu Fairchild and Miss Florence Gan- stine. Art and Industry ★ Besides giving students an appreciation of the beautiful things of life, art has opened new vocational fields for talented young people. Students are given their first taste of these fields in advertising, story illustration, and industry through the application of knowledge gained through the advertising needs of school organizations. Industrial art is an impor- tant step in giving vocational training to high school students. Shop work enables the student to think clearly, exactly, and logically. For the last two years, the industrial art department has taken the trophy at Stillwater for winning the most points in contests there. Mr A B Bell Shop I.

During its eight years of existence the chapter has produced five Master Farmers and has won both state and national honors. This year the school and community are especially proud of the F. F.

The grounds must be kept clean of trash and mowed during the spring, the trees are pruned, and the flag raised every morning and lowered at sundown.

Ms. Dick Hat Ms Hrwrrr Mr Htwn-r In Boilcs Room Mr. Jot Hicks Ms. Dick Hill Clef Dwellers By Bobbie Dever The vocal music department of Norman High School has undergone some changes this past year. Milton H. Bradley, former music director who re- signed to accept a college position, was re- placed by Mrs. Geraldine Hudson. The music department has continued to perform and entertain for the delight of the ochool and the public. In the 1941 State Inter- scholastic Meet the girls’ glee club and Betty Bumgarner, alto soloist, won the rating of Superior” while the girls’ quartet, mixed chorus, and Phyllis Hale, soprano soloist, received an Excellent” rating. Superior” is the highest rating given in the spring contests and Excellent” ranks next. In this contest our contestants compete with those of the best vocal music departments from all over the state. The boys’ quartet was composed of John Foster, Billy Sam Thompson, John Terry, and Joe Allen Brad- ley; and the girls’ quartet was composed of Phyllis Hale, Betty Boyd, Betty Bum- garner, and Doris Stogner. The student body can verify that the vocal music department has all but strained their vocal chords in practicing for various programs. The mixed chorus is on its toes now, even though at the beginning of the school year the bass section sounded some sour notes and the tenors struck an off-note now and then; others sounded their do-re-mi’s louder than the rest; but put all these faults into the hands of an experi- enced director and a well-rounded organiza- tion will be produced within a few months. Our music department has proved the cor- rectness of the above statement. After the tedious practicing for contests is finished, the members relax with picnics and more singing!

It would not be a touchdown if the band was not there to play “Norman High” and it would not be a football game unless the band was there to parade at half-time. Besides playing at football games, the band is called on for all spe- cial occasions of the town or school. The marching band has been improved this year by the addition of half a dozen pretty drum majorettes dressed in white uniforms. The concert band has also been improved by the purchase of a bassoon and tympani. Mr. Walker, an alumnus of Norman High, has done an exceptionally good job during his short time as conductor. Last year he worked up six ensembles to enter the State contest, of which three went to the national. He entered nine solos, and sent five to the national, which is a good record in anybody’s league. The improvement of the band over last year can be seen in their better marching forma- tions, the new instruments added, and in the general di- vision into “A” and “B” bands. Early in the fall Mary Ruth McMakin was elected band queen. Coronation ceremonies took place at half time dur- ing the Norman-Wewoka football game. Mary Ruth was crowned by Leo Tarpley, president of the band. Later in the spring the band will participate in the state contest. The outlook for Norman this year is very good, this being their first real chance to win a “Superior” rating. If the band keeps progressing as it has under Mr. Walker’s direction, it will soon rate with the best bands in the state. Top Row: (left to right) Tom Shelton. Eldon Hatfield. Jack Patten.

Highlights of the year included an out- of-town football game at Shawnee, colorful participation in the coronations of the band and football queens and the annual Home- coming assembly. The most looked-for- ward-to event of every year is the annual Letterman’s Banquet, which is held in hon- or of all Norman High athletes who have won letters in their particular sport. This is a particularly memorable occasion for Coronation or the Football Queen all the seniors, as it is their last opportunity to participate in the activities of Ginger- snaps as a member. The banquet was held April 23, and following this program, a pic- ture show was attended. At this time the Gingersnap president for the following year is announced as well as the honorary foot- ball captain for the previous season. To aid National Defense this year, all the money collected from fines was used to buy United States Defense Stamps and Bonds, which in turn are to be left to ma- ture, and at maturity the club or some pre- viously arranged fund will benefit from these savings.

This national chapter winner had its origin seven years ago in the basement of the junior high school, and under the excellent guidance of Mr. E. F. Foreman, has grown so much and so swiftly that the chapter now has five buildings of its own, including the recently completed bunkhouse. During the past school year fifty-five boys were active members, twenty-three were associate members, and forty-two farmers and business men were honorary members. Leaders of the chapter were: Charles Smalley, president; Bob Thomas, vice-president; Joe Merkle, secretary; War- ren Meador, treasurer; and Chester Rollins, reporter. Knowing that the farmers would count much in the achievement of the final vic- tory in this trial of democracy more boys enrolled in the Vocational Agriculture De- partment with an even greater desire to do something worthwhile and are all doing their share. In the “Food for Freedom” campaign the boys outshone their parents by raising in their gardens an average of more than twice the district output. Twenty- eight of the F. F. A. boys own 147 hogs, twenty-six of them own 63 head of dairy cattle, forty-four chapter members have 5200 head of poultry, ten boys own 18 beef Preparing the entries for contests cattle, and twenty-six boys have butchered 82 head of hogs. The Norman chapter won five out of six trophies in the State Federation Poultry Show in Enid, Oklahoma. The judging team composed of Tom Nielsen, Buddy Smith, and Donald Ezzell won first place in the show. Ezzell placed high man at the show. Smith was first individual, showing the grand champion trio and grand champ- ion bird. At the Texas State Fair in Dallas, our boys placed 240 birds from the 300 shown. Charles Smalley showed the grand Champ- ion bird. Kertis Kuhlman and Tom Niel- sen placed first as a terracing team. The total winnings of the chapter for this year included: $600 in cash, fourteen plaques, six loving cups, one silver platter, and 1000 ribbons. Aside from their win- nings the boys have $7,500 invested in in- dividual and group projects. When school started, the boys set a goal of $1,000 with which to buy defense stamps and bonds. This they achieved by April 1. This year the chapter staged seven box- ing matches, with twelve bouts in each, to raise funds to pay for their new bunkhouse which was built by the boys themselves. For winning the majority of their bouts, Warren Meador, manager of team, Robert Morren, Harold Morren, Bob Thomas, Har- POLISHINC THE TROPHT SUPERVISED PRACTICE, which counted 150 points in the contest.

And They'll ry Roberts, Van Warren, and Wayne War- ren were presented miniature gold gloves. Each year new laurels are added to Norman High School’s importance through the many activities and honors won by the F. F. A. By winning first place in the National Chapter contest in Kansas City, Missouri, October 21, the Norman F. F. A. chapter became the nation’s number one chapter for 1941, surpassing 9,000 other chapters. Norman planned its entry in the na- tional contest last year after being chosen by state F. F. A. officials to represent Ok- lahoma. Governor Leon C. Phillips, speak- ing at an F. F. A. progress dinner chal- lenged the boys to go on to even greater heights than they had already achieved in rebuilding Oklahoma agriculture and citi- zenship. Essential to the competition was the submittance of an official scrapbook de- picting the year’s activities and containing In scoring COMMUNITY SERVICE activities, point considered were: farm Improvement, roll conser- vation. home Improvement and beautification, and other projects for community betterment. [34] Do It Again pictures, letters, contest results, and club individual’s records. The chapter competition was based on accomplishments for a one year period. Norman F. F. A. members set up 246 ob- jectives for the period and completed all but three of them. Only a few of the many objectives were: having individual pro- jects averaging $283.22 for each boy; ex- hibiting poultry and farm products at var- ious county and state fairs; sponsoring the sixth annual F. F. A. banquet and the sixth annual State Invitational Dairy contest; producing state champion teams and indi- viduals; maintaining a chapter loan bank; selling surplus stock for re-investment in the chapter; and the relinquishing of their building for use in the night National De- fense courses in auto mechanics, carpentry, electricity, and sheet metal. National Chapter officers were: Cecil Bowles, J. L. Martin, Ralph Matlock, Wayne Lessly, and Donald Capshaw. For points in EARNING and SAVING the earnings from farming, investment in farming, cash savings, chapter budgeting, and chapter thrift were con- sidered. In scoring SCHOLARSHIP, points were given for the activities attempted by the group to Improve scholarship of members in both academic and vocational subjects. LEADERSHIP points were scored by the amoun. of leadership training and the extent of develop- ment in school, chapter, farm, and community activities. Consideration of CONDUCT of MEETINGS was given on type of programs, length of meetings, time, frequency, attendance, equipment, and busi- ness conducted. 135] SCIENCE CLUB Lett Table: (left to right) Ray Wampler.

Courting Fame By Ella Mae Dodd TTnder the direction of Mrs. Allie Mae Ward, the Creative Writing club published its yearly magazine for the fifth consecutive year. Even the shortage of paper due to the war did not prevent the club from unfolding their original talents and abilities before the eyes of the students of Norman High School. Before gathering material for “Pen Points” the club must first have a conception of the four types of composition—de- scription, exposition, narration, and argumentation and other types of writing such as essays, short stories, poems, and sketches. This is brought about by the instruction of Mrs. Ward and occasional speakers who are authority on the subject. The activities of the club do not constitute all work. They have several parties during the year and an annual event which is the finale of each year’s work and achievement. This year “Pen Points” staff consists of Wanda Lou Wilson, editor; Lillian Joyal, associate editor; Vera Jo Young, humor editor; Sally Anne Webb, poetry editor; Anne Compton, busi- ness manager; Betty Finley, art editor.

They also try to de- velop an appreciation for Spanish culture by hearing reports and seeing movies on South American, Mexican, and Spanish countries. Natives of the aforementioned countries have been invited to talk before the club. SPANISH CLUB Standing Lixt to Right Mrs Bon Doherty, sponsor. Kenneth Smith. Paul Robinxon. Forrest Daughty. J.

Morale Builders w N Club By Nancy Ryan By Fred Cobb Helping members to adjust themselves and make the best use of what they have in the home, school, and community is the major objective of the Future Home- makers’ Club, guided by Miss Thelma Walk- er. The girls also strive for participation and cooperation in group projects, for achievement on the part of each individual, and for improvement of personal, home, and community living. Officers are Alma Meador, president; Nadine Yarbrough, vice- president; Yvonne Strong, secretray; Mary Wood, treasurer; Bernelle Dallmeier, his- torian; Louise Diehm, parliamentarian; Dorweta Wilcox, reporter: and Audrey Moten, song leader. Sponsored by Charles “Chalky” Stogner, football coach, and Arlo Skivey” Davis, Director of Athletics, a Lettermen’s Club was organized this year. The Lettermen's Club, first inaugurated in Norman High in 1938, went out of existence the following year. Any boy or girl who has earned a letter in football, basketball, baseball, track, golf, tennis, or swimming is eligible to be- come a member. The purpose of this club is to raise money to buy honor awards for championship teams. The officers are: President, James Franklin; vice-president, Norman McNabb; secretary-treasurer. Bob Berry. Call meetings are held, at which time a social hour is enjoyed. LETTERMEN'S CLUB Bottom Row: Ray McElroy. Russell Hill. Donald Jay Keen. Leroy Lawson. Guy Frltch. J. D. Simpson.

BOB MA 1 -4 Ediior MRS. Walter c. Richards Sponsor Two Jokers and A Queen The High Command By Kathryn Cooley T™ ,IE staff of The 1942 Trail determined A to bring to the student body of Norman High School a record of the so-called best years of their lives and of their activities during a year which will probably go down in history. To convince everyone of the absolute necessity of having a yearbook, the staff dramatized the lasting joy, a printed rec- ord, from one generation to the next by be- ginning in kindergarten with our healthy editor as the ‘Middle dirl” and progressing through the high school years to a solemn sincere wedding ceremony and the later married life, each skit ending with the pleasure derived by looking back on the days when—. Responding quickly, the students pushed over the quota of required deposits and the staff swung into action. Robert Mayfield, better known as “Doc”, began snatching at his hair and raving at everyone like the editors in the movies. Mrs. Richards, spon- sor, supplied aspirin and assistance as well as.criticism and drive, while Harry Landt, junior editor, and the other members of the staff labored over their assignments and kept out of the editor’s way. When pictures needed to be taken, one was sure to find Bonne Knight or Jack Birchum, staff photographers, flashing and clicking busily away. Fred Cobb, sports editor, had difficulty condensing all the im- portant feats the Tiger teams had accomp- lished this year into one story. The senior editors, Nancy Ryan and Rosalie Rayburn, used full steam ahead methods on forgetful classmates to get them to the photographer, while Bobbie Dever administered publicity to the student body and served as pinch hitter on the advertising staff. When the difficulty was with words, Ella Mae Dodd and Lorraine Hoy promptly came to the rescue with fresh ideas, while all the artistic inspiration was concocted by Betty Finley and Peggy Erickson. Possessing the pa- tience of Job, Betty Lee Bicknell kept track of all the stories, made assignments, typed the copy and attended to numerous small jobs. The financial success of the book de- pended upon the business manager, Bob Berry; the assistant business manager, Kathryn Cooley; and the junior business manager, Jerry Thompson. Selling adver- tising was only the least of their worries, since the staff helped sponsor three big projects, a picture show which was “The Chocolate Soldier”, the senior play, and last but not least the “Tiger Revue.” ( 40 I STAFF Standing, left to right: Fred Cobb.

Berry would like for Birchum to shave before their next love scene. All Out By Nancy Ryan In September, we the seniors of 1942 be- gan our last sojourn within the walls of Norman High School. We had fin- ally reached the coveted position of self- assured upper classmen, but to do this we had to evolve through three successive stages. First we were quite smug and im- portant in our own realm as the upper classmen of Junior High. The next year found us as sophomores, somewhat humbled and willing to kow-tow to those who ranked above us. But soon, becoming accustomed to the tricks of the trade in Senior High, we had, by the time we were juniors, re- gained much of our original pertness, and made our presence felt by adding our ex- uberance to various activities. In May we gave an informal reception and entertain- ment at the Sooner Theater for the depart- ing seniors. This year as succeeding inhabitants of the desirous state of seniordom, we elected Bob Berry our class president, Fred Cobb, vice-president; Bobby Dever, secretary- treasurer; and Rosalie Rayburn, class re- porter. Our prestige, as well as an abund- ance of pulchitrude in our midst, was man- ifested when Bonne Knight was chosen football queen in October and Alma Meador was elected F. F. A. queen in late January. Rosalie Rayburn. Reporter Fred Cobb. Vice President Bobbie Dever. Secretary Below Homhcominc Assembly Cheers the Team Bob Berry. President SENIOR SPONSORS Mr Aulo Davis.

Our Nor- man Chapter of National Honor Society was headed by George Ware, vice-president. In still another field, the night of the senior play, “Tomboy,” proved the acting ability of a portion of our very versatile class. In keeping with wartime conditions, we used the money customarily used for a memorial to buy a fifty dollar bond, which when it matures in ten years will then help pay for a memorial to the Senior Class of 1942. War also caused curtailment of some SENIOR SPONSORS Miss Vera Lane. Mrs Lewis Solomon. Mrs. J. Ben Doherty.

The annual Junior-Senior reception and the Senior Day excursion were less pompous, but the Senior Picnic was sched- uled for May 18, and occurred in true de- lightful picnic fashion. Next came Senior Week with its sighs and its congratulations, the Baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Joseph Ewing on May 17, and the Commencement address in Holmburg Hall by Dean John G. Hervey May 22, following which each of us received those precious bits of parch- ment as a reward for twelve years of pur- suing knowledge. I 43 1 Celt- ??. ADA MAE RIDER Future Homemakers' Club 40.

He lettered In three major sports. Wesley Higcins represents our honor roll in instrumental music. Quiet, diligent, unobtrusive, and talented, he toots many an inspiring melody from his tuba and eagerly takes part In school activities. Doris Stocner has thrilled many audiences with her nlghtengale voice. She unselfishly gives her talent and yet never misses an op- portunity to be a good friend and to have fun.

Their Goal at Last — Graduation Victorious Take-off By Jerry Lee Unaccustomed as we were to graduat- ing, we wake up this spring to find that we had been delegated to that self-same task. Zounds!—it was like a shot between the eyes; we had not the slightest idea as to how we were to conduct ourselves. This much, however, we did know — to the underclassmen we were highly-exalted and envied beings, to the teachers we were just one more task com- pleted, and to our adoring parents we were a composite of Einstein’s mathematical genius, Galileo’s scientific inventiveness, Shelley’s idealism, and General McAr- thur’s bull-dog tenacity. In the beginning, this school year was like any other, but then we noticed that we were being set apart from the rest of the student body—“pay your senior dues,’’ “get your senior pictures made for the Trail,” “order your senior announcements,” “Seniors, write your name as you want it on your diploma”—all notices having that awe-inspiring word, senior, tacked on some- where. Came the dawn—“Why. we are seniors!” “When we finally realized the full significance of this fact, we floated around on little pink clouds for weeks; then we settled down to the serious task of liv- ing up to our reputation, which was no easy matter, I assure you. We finally resigned ourselves to the fact that this was our last fling at high school life, and assumed the dignity of a departing senior. With a lump in our throat, we left our alma mater— unslept, much honored, and unstrung. Wilma Ruth Cole and Nanct Ryan Co-Valedictorians George Ware Salutatortan JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Joe ambristt . Vice-President Brttt Ann Spencer. Reporter Mac RurNow, Secretary-treasurer It Can Happen Here By Harry Landt The Junior Class of 1942 is known by all to be the most talented class of Norman High School. We placed entrants in all sports, activities, and honor societies. We have lifted ourselves above our backward sophomore days to rival the seniors for supremacy of the school. Our class embodies the essences of intelligence, sports- manship, beauty, ability, and even vociferousness. Records have proven to us that Bob Thomas, Albert Hall, and A. J. Turk have shown their prize winning prowess in the F. F. A. It is also to be noted that several juniors received football letters this year. They include John Nielsen, Bill Argo, Jerry Thompson, Norman McNabb, Harry Landt. and Bill McGinty. Several more juniors who have earned their basketball letters are Willie Bland, Wallie Bland, Russell Davis, and Bob Berry No. 2. From the scholar’s viewpoint we are especially talented, having numerous honor stu- dents; in fact, we placed more students on the honor roll than both the other classes, and Oreen Class Mettznc in Progress Norman McNabb. President Stage Instruction Bt Mac Rupnow Student Director of All-School Play Dorman, Eugene Locke, Jo Ann Garms, Darrell George, Eldon Hatfield, Betty Jo Kerr, Harry Landt, Mary Ruth McMakin, Arthur Ortenburger, Bill Patten, and Vera Jo Young became members of the State Honor Society; while Jo Ann Garms, Dar- rell George, Betty Jo Kerr, Eugene Locke, Arthur Ortenburger, Bill Patten, Harry Landt, Oreen Dorman, Eldon Hatfield, and Vera Jo Young were among the select few to become members of the National Honor Society. For the second year Mary Ruth McMakin was chosen by all to the honor of band queen and June Hodge and Harriet Hill faithfully led us to victory as cheer ! 55 J leaders.

As one of the looked forward to events of the school year, we cast off our last vistage of respect to the seniors with our giving of the annual junior-senior party which consisted this year of a stage show, motion picture, and refreshments for all.

Calvin Price Youth Finds a New Road By Carolyn Cooley IN 1940 we put aside our grade school ways and entered Junior High School. The group grad- ually developed after a long, lean year into verdant “Freshies”. Being unaware of our chlor- ophyllic qualities, we slowly learned of our bliss- ful ignorance of new people and exciting places by the trial and error method. Among the diversions of these two glorious years were baseball, basketball, and football, and some class get-to-gethers. The annual party for the eighth grade was at the Armory and we all had a hilarious time, square dancing, playing games, and of course, eating. In the spring of the next year, when we were sophisticated fresh- men. we enjoyed a picnic on the rolling hills of the Country Club. We did everything that was fun—bicycle racing, hiking, playing baseball, swinging, sliding, and roasting weiners. We, the class of ’44, on entering Senior High put our noses to the grindstone, not solely to up- hold our school and achievements but also to further that reputation. Presenting a united front we elected at the beginning of the school term Benny Singleton, president; Buddy Smith, vice-president; Carolyn Cooley, secretary-treasurer; and Evelyn Bond, re- porter. As our sponsors we chose Miss Corene Wilkerson, Miss Florence Ganstine, Mr. Charles Stogner, Mr. Fred Bement, Miss Thelma Walker, and Mr. James Walker. SOPHOMORE SPONSORS Mr. James Walker.

The gold star students from among us are Dorothy Harvey, Raymond Phillips, Tom Neilsen, Bobette Dott, William Schriever, Lorene Farley, Frank Alessandri, Kertis Kuhlman, and Jack Patten. Those who landed parts for the all- school play, “Growing Pains”, were Eddie Am- brister, Kenneth McCall, and Jean Merrill. Be- hind the scenes were more sophomores, busy mak- ing things run smoothly. These were Rhoda Jane James, Bobette Dott, Luella Stine, William Schriever, Sallie Teegardin, and Tom Neilsen. On the gridiron gleamed such rough diamonds as Lee Rosenberry, Tommy Kizer, Calvin Price, Eston McGee, George Harvey, Mokey Webb, Ben- ny Singleton, and Buddy Smith. Streaking over the basketball court like supermen are Kenneth Kemp, L. G. Owing, Eston McGee, Charles Howe- ry, and Sam McCall. Boxing happens to be a relatively new sport in Norman High, so the sophomores, being new themselves, contributed several impressive fighters in Harry Roberts, Calvin Price. Ted Wilson, and Jack Greenway. To back up these sportsmen, many of the girls became enthusiastic members of the pep club, “Gingersnaps”. Proceeding from the athletic arena to the aud- itorium, we find that numerous classmates par- ticipated in the glee club, mixed chorus, mixed quartet, boys quartet, and in the school band. Therefore, ascending from the door mat position as sophomores to the highly desirable elevation of juniors, we sincerely hope that we have been of some service to our school and that this service will continue through our “duration” SOPHOMORE SPONSORS Miss Thelma Walkxj .

An eighty-yard drive early in the third quarter proved to be the fatal thrust, as Johnny Moore dug into pay dirt from the half yard line for the six points; Fritch’s try for the extra point was wide. The following Friday the Norman Tigers missed winning their first Mid-State Conference football game against the Enid Plainsmen by one foot. After both the Tigers and the Plainsmen fumbled away several scoring chances, the whistle sounded and the game ended in a 0-0 dead- lock. In the closing minutes, Guy Fritch attempted a field goal from the six yard line, but the pigskin traveled a foot too far to the left. On October 3 the Norman Tigers met the Wewoka Tigers for a second victory. Norman McNabb skirted left end behind terrific blocks of James Franklin and Guy Fritch and traveled forty-two yards to chalk up the first score. Benny Singleton, a fast, shifty sophomore back, counted for the second, and when the final whistle sounded, Norman was on the right end of a 12-7 score. The next encounter was with the Duncan Demons on the Tigers’ home field. With both teams facing stiff oppo- sition, the Norman Tigers again fought to a scoreless tie. The Tiger pass receivers were held down with grease-laden fingers, which spelled the 0-0 deadlock. Friday October 17, the Tigers invaded Amarillo, where the Amarillo’s Golden Sandstorm blew too hard. When the final whistle sounded, the Tiger backfield found the Sandies’ line like granite and found themselves on the wrong end of a 20-0 score. The Shawnee Wolves had a good reason to howl October 24 after Bobby Jack Stuart, who took Bob Berry’s punt on the one-yard line, toted the pigskin all the way back to give Shawnee a 6-0 lead only to lose the ball game 7-6. Led by Russell Hill’s superb passing, the Norman Tigers penetrated deep into Shawnee’s territory, where Ber- ry plunged over. Taking no chances on footwork to knot the score, Moore smashed over for the extra point and that was the I 65 j Coach Stocner Sends in a Substitute Norman Tries a Reverse Against Chickasiia ball game. With the Chickasha Chicks as their opponents, the Tigers battled to a scoreless tie for the third time October 31. On a sloppy field, their offense was ham- pered almost to the point of extinction al- though the Tigers outplayed the Chicks considerably. The Tigers had three chances to score, two of them when J. N. Hooper, a fast, hard charging guard, broke the line to block two punts, the third being a heart- breaker when the Tigers, led by Berry, shifted into low gear and splashed steadily ahead through the mud for 77 long yards only to run out of gas on the Chickasha one yard line. The Tiger ventured to Classen, Novem- ber 7 and after fumbling around the first half, they decided it was time to engineer a victory over the Classen Comets and snatch away a Mid-State Conference title. Early in the third quarter Bob Berry, mainstay on the soggy field, opened up with a 40 yard touchdown splash behind Norman Mc- Nabb’s blocking. A pass from Berry to Remy, a fourteen year old, set up the sec- ond one, and a pass from Berry to Single- Bob Mayfield, center Guy Frltch. back man McNabb. tackle Bob Berry, back N.

The score ended with a 13-6 victory for the Tigers and shoved Norman into the Mid-State Conference lead. On the following Friday the Norman Tigers, to continue their chase of the Mid-State Con- ference pennant, butchered the Central Cards 23-0. The alert Tigers took ad- vantage of every break in the game. Nor- man McNabb counted for the first touch- down when he recovered a fumble in mid- air and chugged over the goal in the first minute of play. Bill Remy took a reverse from Berry and raced to the six-inch line, where Berry plunged over on the next play. Remy also set up the third touchdown as he hung on to a pass from Hill. Berry again plunged over. Guy Fritch kicked all three conversions. Venturing to Capitol Hill for the last game of the season, the Norman Tigers smashed the Redskins 31-6 to the Mid-State crown.

After that the Tigers came growling back to tie the score, and from then on completely dom- inated the game, scoring as they pleased. Johnny Moore, Norman’s little stick of dynamite, counted for three of Norman’s touchdowns. Remy, a tiny terror, plunged over the fourth, and Fritch the other touch- down. The Tigers kicked only one con- version. The season closed with the Tigers win- ning their first undisputed Mid-State Con- ference Championship since 1936 with four wins, one tie, and no losses. We are pleased to give recognition to some of this year’s outstanding football players of Norman High. Bob Berry, a senior back who started his football career when he was a sophomore, was selected on the All-State team and was also selected on the all Mid-State first team. Another sen- ior Robert Mayfield, center, was selected as an alternate on the All-State team and also placed center on the first string of the All Mid-State team. Donald “Blond Don” Marrs, a senior end, and Norman McNabb, a junior tackle, also received berths on the All Mid-State first team. Johnny Moore, a senior back, and J. N. Hooper, a senior guard, received berths on the second team in the Mid-State. These six should not be honored alone, for sixteen other lettermen played through slime, snow, and fair weather, and without their sin- cere efforts the team could not be Mid-State champs.

No Fifth Column Here By Fred Cobb PLAYING twenty-one games this year of which ten were conference and eleven non-conference, Coach “Arlo” Davis’ Tigers ended a fairly successful season with a total of thirteen wins and eight losses. Opening the season at Marlow, the Tigers successfully subdued the giants 27- 18. In the second game at Bethany, the Tigers trailed 22-18 at the end of the third quarter, but the spirited Tiger club put on a last quarter drive that knocked Bethany for a 32-25 loss. The next game was the first defeat for the Tigers, losing an over- time game 38-33 to the Ardmorites on their home court. Following this, the Tigers squeezed a 21-19 victory from Elmore City, a tall team. Playing their first home game and also their first conference game, the Tigers out- classed the Capitol Hill Redskins of Okla- homa City from bell to bell to hang up a 39-15 victory. Later another Oklahoma City team, the Classen Comets, came shoot- ing out of the sky like comets and shot around the Tigers 31-25. Then the “never- say-die” Tiger five pounced on the Shawnee Wolves, outscoring them 33-28. The next game proved to be one of the thrillers of the year. The Norman Tigers, on a return game, outclawed the Ardmore Tigers 40-38 in a game that kept everyone on his feet. The tall Marlow Club, after having lost one to Norman, had difficulty in convincing the Tigers that they could be defeated at home; however when the final whistle sounded Marlow was on the victorious end of a 28- 26 heart breaker. Out for revenge from the first game, a pack of Wolves from Shawnee grabbed a 46-25 victory from the Norman Club. De- spite this loss to Shawnee the Tigers bounced back to polish off the Oklahoma City Central Cardinals 28-13 in a game in which the smooth, hard-working Tigers clicked all over the court, in both offensive and defensive play.

Norman was lead- ing 15-10 at the half, but apparently some fifth columnist started a whispering cam- paign, and our complacency over a five point lead at the end of the first half coasted us to a sad defeat. In the next game the Tigers were evidently cold. The Norman club could never erase the 8-0 lead the Enid Plainsmen grabbed in the first quarter, and so they found themselves on the wrong end of a 32-25 score. In the following game the Tigers unleashed all of their power and ev- erything went wild except Elmore City’s score. The score ended with an 80-12 win for the Tigers. Also two scoring records, total points and the other in individual scor- ing, were broken for Norman High School. Next on the schedule was the Edmond Tour- nament. The Tigers won two games, defeat- ing Putman City 24-22, and Edmond 14-10, but lost in the semifinal round to Friendship 34-24. Reviving from the loss, the Tigers again outplayed and beat the Central Card- inals by a score 20-18 in two overtime per- iods but lost to the Enid Plainsmen 27-23 in their last conference game, making it five wins and five defeats in the Mid-State Con- ference. In the last game of the season the Norman club shattered Bethany 52-30. Bob Behry. Norman Guard, Drives in for a Set Up. A View or the New Time Clock in Use at a Game. Standing Coach Ario Davi .

I 71 ] Rationed Sports By Fred Cobb Spring sports in Norman High School have always included baseball, track, tennis, and golf, yet these have always been considered minor sports in relationship to football and basketball, our major sports. This year, with school finances running very low and without any revenue coming in from the minor sports, the School Board ruled to discontinue baseball and furnish equipment for track only, and to allow those students who would furnish their own equip- ment for golf and tennis to participate in these sports. Our previous baseball season’s games have always included the schools of the Oklahoma Central League, and our showing has always been creditable; however only seven lettermen were scheduled to report this year to Coach Davis. Baseball, having been on our schedule only four seasons, is a comparatively new sport in Norman High School’s athletics, yet the team went to the semi-finals at 0. U. in 1939, to the finals in 1940, and again to the semi-finals in 1941. We regret that war conditions have caused this excellent sport to be taken away from us. Golf has been a win-and-lose proposition here, mainly because we have no paid coach to teach the boys. Six seniors reported for golf and immediately they began to improve their style and strokes for the State Golf Tournament. Although there are no vet- erans, such players as Bob Perry, Humphrey Townsley, Harlin Sumner, and Leroy taw- son show promising ability; however, Nor- man has not produced a winner since 1939 when Jack Gray won the state champion- ship. Interest has been increasing in golf during the past two years and, with hard training and careful preparation, it is pos- sible for another state champion to be crowned from Norman High School. Swimming is another sport that will be dropped this year. Although we did not have a prospect as good as last year’s win- ner, Ray Boyd, we did have several boys who were planning to enter the 0. U. meet. Tennis is the only sport in Norman High School in which girls may participate. With three veterans, Jerry Lee, Jum Lee, and Nancy Knox, and a number of others re- porting for tennis, a campaign immediately was started for a better team this year. Due to finances, the State Track Meet is the only tournament in which the tennis team may enter. Another thing that is troubling the players is the shortage of tennis balls GOLF TEAM Ixjyd Van Deventer. Humphrey Townsley. Jack Blrchum. Bob Berry. Leroy Lawson. Harlen 8umner.

It is also difficult for every member to be present at a practice because Norman High School does not boast of home owned tennis courts, and. to practice, our team must rely on the over- crowded 0. U. courts or the Municipal courts in the City Park. The Track team is made up entirely of freshmen and sophomore boys. Bill Remy, brother to Albert Remy, who won the state low hurdles championship in 1938, won last spring’s State Junior High low hurdles and this spring shows ability to be another win- ner. He will be the first track winner that Norman High School has produced in four years. With a proposal on foot now for a new high school building, which will include in its project a swimming pool and tennis courts, the future prospects for winning teams in all minor sports will be brighter; and with the addition of the anticipated 700 new families moving to Norman on the opening of the new government Naval Training Base, we are looking forward to having adaed talent along these lines.

Okla. 48 2 48 FAREWELL TO the Seniors, 1942 will long live in our memories as the year in which we ad- vance from our carefree days to face the realities of manhood and to bear the extra burdens of a nation at war! In publishing the 1942 TRAIL, the staff has sought to produce a record of the year’s eventful happenings. We hope that you may find many pleasant memories of school days recalled. So, as we depart from the company of our classmates, we say “au revoir” to our friends and to the faculty of our alma mater, confident that our splendid preparation in basic knowledge and the privileges and rights of citizenship, which we treasure, will enable us to play our parts well in the all-out drama of Democracy.
