These ambitious souls were Shirley Hill Paul Fitzgerald, Maribeth Ford. Floyd Davis. Anne Oakes. Milton Smith. Reece McGee. Gene Rainbolt, Marjorie Allman. Leigh Ortenburger, Ernie Schultz, and Pat Luster. The Norman High School Band, recognized as one of the best in the state, provided an interest for the more musically inclined. Those senibrs who played in the band each year since their jun- ior high school enrollment were Gordon Conklin, Leigh Ortenburger. Ernie Schultz, Curtis Clen- dening, and Bob Carder. Leigh and Curtis deserve special commendation for the fine showings they made at district and state meets, receiving high ratings for their solos on the clarinet and the bari- tone horn respectively. Leigh has been concert master of both the tri-state and all-state bands. There were twelve bona fide seniors whose indi- vidual pictures do not appear on the following pages because of their late enrollment or other reasons.
