Tender, fair and trueg Grateful sons with love unfailing, All their vows renew. X fore As we watch our happy years at Oakdale High School pass rapidly by, we can reconcile ourselves to the thought of separation only with the assurance that we are storing up memories and associations never to be forgotten. Within the covers of this book we have tried to catch the spirit of our campus and keep it shinning and bright both for ourselves and those who are to follow us. That the memories of our high school days may live in print as well as within our hearts, we present this 1941 TOMAHAWK. ULIOYD T T .E E.. .5 C O N T E N T S W iii iii!!

Yet, even had she come from afar, her pleasant voice, her winning smile, her inherent honesty, her lovable personality, and her willingness to cooperate with any student and any teacher in worthy undertakings have wen for this young lady our undying respect and admiration. Because she so nearly approaches the ideal and still rsnains human, because she so unselfishly gives of her time and energy to our affairs, and because she is for us and one of us,we dedicate this 1941 TOMABAHK to our friend and teacher--Miss Rushie lae Butohee. 4 BEAUTIES- FAVORITES WHO'S WHO- -Chosen by a Student- Faculty Com ittee of Stephens College. -Chosen by Student Body of 6.

And once again we see written there by the sleated feet of our in- domitable Warriors a story of courage, perseverance, loyalty, teamwork and victory. Asking no quarter and giving none, the golden horde ran roughshod over nine of the eleven unfortunate teams that stood in their wayg and while bowing to Jennings, a top-notch AA outfit, and Dequincy, an all-senior team that went to the finals in 1939, the Warriors gave almost as good as they received and but for a few injuries and bad breaks, might have gone through these games undefeated. However, be that as it may, another Cook-coached team climbed the dizzy heights and has taken its place with the other i mortal pigskln paraders of yester- years. - Teamwork and great morale were largely responsible for the victories, but even these mainly stressed fundamentals of the Cock system could not blanket the in- dividual prowess of our quarter-backing genius, Earl Greer, the battering ram tactics of Captain Earl Hammock, the all-round offensive and defensive play of Co- Captain William Karamgand the stellar playing of Kenneth Burgess and Clayton Brooks. Others whose brilliance shone only in the eyes of those who appreciate hard, smart, brainy football were: Robert Linzay, Aubrey Millsap, Sam Solomon, Gene Pearson and A. J. Barton. Yes, it was a great season and a great temm. 15 9003513532 Z JACKIE JOHNSON DATE Sept. sept e Oct 0 Oct. Oct e Oot. Noi e Nov 0 NOV e Nov. FIRST TEAM S C H E D U L E OPPONENT Um?

THE SEASON Taking up where they left off in 1940, the Warrior basketeers danced, pivcted and looped thanselves into their second consecutive Southwest District Class A Championship. And in addition to the glory gained by winning the coveted trophy, they placed two star performers on the A11- Distriot first team, these were Earl Greer and Aubrey Millsap. Throughout the season the Warriors played consistently good basket- ball: basketball that was good enough to win twenty-three of the twenty-nine games played, basketball that was good enough to place them in the finals of the Oakdale High School Tournament, in third place at the Lake Charles Tournament, and that put Oakdale players on every All-Star Tournament team which was picked. lainstays of the team were: Earl Greer, Aubrey Millsap, Sam Thigpen, McCoy Ray and Curtis Ware. Others who were of great service were: Ralph Louis Callahan, D. C. Creel, Colon Welch, Laverne Chapnan and Henry Roberts. 17 Basin-3H3aH THETEAII Doris Ford, Leah Brabham, Hazel Brown, Louise Harris, Geraldine Johnson, Ruby Lee Pourteau, Beth Harris, Mailliw Hargrove, Ruby Lee Brown, Dorothy Lou Johnson, Gloria Greene. THE SEASON At the close of the 1940-41 season on the hardwood, the records give a very satisfactory account of the Girls' Basketball Team. Winning nine of their twelve match games, the girls lost to but two teams, Tioga and Jennings, both of which were exceptionally strong this year. Entered in five tournaments, the Squaws went once to the consolation finals, and three times to the sani-finals, there to be elimi- nated by the teams that won first place. Early in the season illness robbed the team of a very good guard in the form of Louise Harris. Despite this fact, Oakdale had one of the best defensive teams it me ever had with the veteran players Doris Ford and Jackie Johnson--two of the best guards on anybody's team--as mainstays, and with Hazel Brown, Ruby Lee Brown and llailllw Hargrove to back them up, the team's defense was consistent and efficient at all times. In the twenty-three games of the season no team defeated Oakdale more ttmn a few points. Each of the forwards in addition to being all-round good players was out- standing for sane technique. Slick Mason, being the most consistent shot, was high- pcint man of the season. Leah Brabham was right on Mason's heels, but Brabham was most valuable as a pivot men to feed the ball to her team-mates. Beth Harris made her mark as the best and most dependable foul-shot. The other forwards on the team--Greene, Pourteau, and Johnson--were playing their first year of ball with the team. They did an excellent job, and show great promise of being the stars of the future. The Squaws are reluctant to say farewell to their Senior team-mates for they know that it will be hard to find the equal of Harris, Ford, Brabham, Mason, and Pourteau in playing ability, personality and sportsmanship. 18 sf ig Be157QeHnaY'Z gm ' ...A--vffx., A. 11th GRADE Coach: Leah Brabham. gglll Q 9th GRADE Coaches: Ruby Lee Brom Ruby Lee Pourteau I, . rn ,f V 10th GRADE Coach: Beth Harris fo? if?

Li? + L ' N ,NJ l s HHH ln the Fall of 1940, the Gold NON Club was orranized. This honor orvanization has a definite purpose, which is to encourage higher scholastic achievements, promote participation in extra-curricula activities, and to serve the school at all times. Uembership in this club is rranted to junior and senior rirls: who attain and keep a HBH average, who have participated in one or more extra-curricula activities, or who have made a creditable showine for the schoolg and who have the approval of the faculty and members of the club. There are ten charter members--Doris Ford, President, Luticia Ann Cain, Vice- Presidentg Shirley Benge, Secretary-Treasurerg Margaret Helen Stapleton, Geneva Hiseg Alice Colliery Beatrice Hall, Eeth Harrisg Pearl Ashyg and Julia Collier--and two sponsors-Jjisses Ora Scott and Rushia Mae Butchee. Since its organization, this club has served in many nays. Its members have decorated the football field, presented flowers at the games, served on flag dayg ushered at school, and at basketball tournaments. No service is too great or too small for these girls to undertake. It should be the aim of every girl to make herself elligible for membership in this club. 54 Band CLARINETS George Calliham Alice Collier Julia Collier Earl Parish Alma Collier Mona Hagan Derrell Myers C.

During the 1940-41 Session a new organization--the Safety Council--has put in its appearance at Oakdale High. Fonned for the purpose of promoting safety, the Council has thus far established an enviable record. For to date not one preventa- ble accident has occured, this year, on or near our campus. In ccmiling this perfect record, our Council has depended not on haphazard, hit- or-miss methods but has worked out and followed a well planned safety program. Each school day, during the lunch hour and immediately following final dismissal, the approaches to our campus are guarded by competent student officers. These patrol- men so control the flow of automobiles and children as to provide perfect safety to all o At regular intervals, in spite of its perfect record, the Council meets and dis- cusses the various problems that have arisen. One of these--getting boys to remain on duty during the rain--was solved when the local Lions Club donated Safety rain coats and hats to the Council. Considered from every angle the Safety Council is doing a fine and necessary piece of work--the kind of work that will make it one of Oakdale High Sehool's permanent organizations. 56 MIXED CHORUS Row l--Pearl Ashy, Violet Miller, Joy Hargrove, Wanda Tubre, Doris Austin, Evelyn Mason, Esther Daily, Evelyn Welch.
