It was simply hilarious and filled with so many clever things that we shall always remember it. Dur- ing the senior week one of the highlights was the picnic. All of the seniors were afraid that it wouldn’t lx- a success because of trans- portation and rationing. We knew we wouldn't get to take a long trip, as sonte of the previous classes have, but I'm sure no other class had as much fun as we did on the old school bus and at the picnic. It doesn’t seem ttm but it is—we finally graduated after four years of struggling, but far from unpleasant experiences. Our baccalaureate ser- vice. which was held in the McFarlin Church, and our commencement exercise were more impressive than ever before. Possibly it was because we were realizing that soon we were to be turned out in the war-torn world to face the problems of life. How we missed the fellows who couldn't be present to receive their diplomas. It seems rather unfair to them; after they had worker! so hard for this glorious achievement. However, many of them felt the patriotic call to serve their country in the time of its greatest need. Their accomplish- ments have been great and an honor to the high school which they repre- sent. These boys were not privileged to walk across the commencement stage and receive their diplomas at the hands of our worthy school officials but they courageously walked across decks of battleships and areas of No-Man’s-Land to safeguard our rights to receive a high school edu- cation. It was therefore our firm resolution upon graduation to assume our responsibilities and perform our duties as citizens so well that we would merit the sacrifices made by some of our classmates and to justify the splendid preparation and training received during the years at Norman High School.

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
