Jack Foster 1 he students of Norman High School have always taken the clean- E lincss of their buildings too much for granted. A great deal of appreciation is due our custodians, Mr. Mize, Mr. Stubbs, Mrs. Evans, and Mr. and Mrs. Cowan. There arc not many people who know’ that Louie L. Mize, the head custodian, was once a professional baseball player in a small league. He played first base with an Arkansas team was was many times winner. Seventeen years ago Norman witnessed the arrival of Mr. Mize to the place which he had selected as his home town.” Because of his ability and his leadership he was hired as superintendent of construction at NAT IC. better know’n to us as the South Base.” On June 1, 1943, he came to work at what we shall someday call our alma mater. Mr. B. B. Cowan, the head custodian at Junior High, has made his home in our fair city for more than two decades, and is still going strong. He went to work with the Norman school system in Febru- ary, 1934. He has been at “good ’ole Norman High however, just a short while, as he previously was located at Lincoln grade school. This year. Mrs. Cow-an has come to do her part in the war effort by working for her husband as custodian in the Junior High building. (Long may it stand!) Since they arc the only two working there, I wonder who the head custodian is now? Some time ago our custodian, Ray Evans, left Norman to go into the service of our country. Since then, Mrs. Evans has come to take his place. Her spirit is to be admired, considering she is a mother of two children. Mr. Stubbs is a newcomer to Norman High, but he is certainly not new in the local school system. He has been on the payroll for about eleven years. I don’t know about his capability, but when he came he replaced two men. [24] RELEASING A MAN FOR WAR Above: Mrs. Evans writing to her hus- band in the service, whose plocc she fills ot home.

Bill Price. qui of T now seems that it was only yesterday when we were quiet, sincere sophomores wandering through the halls Norman High and wondering if we would ever be- come seniors. During our first year our activities were not as numerous as during the following years. Some of us joined the band and Gingcrsnaps and some of the boys began to take part in the different sports. Our junior year was a little more exciting, because we were becoming more familiar with the high school ways and we had a little more voice and authority, at least we hoped we did, over the sopohmorcs. During that year we gave a reception at the Union Ballroom for the seniors. Most of the honors this year went to seniors. Roberta Smith, who was elected football queen in November, was crowned at the half during the Homecoming game by Bill Price and Bill Remy. The highlight of spring events was when Marty Mcacham was crowned band queen. This year the cheer leaders were three senior girls, Dixa Ann Wilson. Betty jane Smith, and Pauline Cook. The student body chose Kathleen Wilson as thier FFA Queen and she was crowned at the annual FFA banquet. Teen Town surpassed last year by awarding two honors: Pin-Up Girl, La Vita Wrinkle, and King. Lester Jensen. Tile more scholastic honors given by the faculty, such as Junior Rotarian, were given to three seniors, Clifton McGee, Jud Bailey, and Bill Price. Tire D.A.R. Award was won by Jane Davis for being the outstand- ing senior girl. The twelve senior members of the National Honor Society are Bill Remy. Bill Price, Ann Lockett. Beth Ryan, Pauline Cook, Nila Jean Caylor, Chester Ragsdale, Bob Hill. Jane Davis, Dorothy Schultz, Wilma Jean Ford and Lenora Hames. One of the reasons that we had such an outstanding graduating class was because of the officers. All of them had previous experience in con- ducting class meetings. Smifing Jud Bailey, president; blond Bill Price, vice-president; personality plus. Phyllis Hillery, secretary; and dahing Bill Remy, reporter, fulfdlcd our expectations as officers. The sponsors for this year were Mrs. H. V. McDermott. Mrs. C. P. Landt, Mrs. John Culp
