We wish to state that with this, the third Year Book of Ohmulgee High School, we present to you the bound efforts of the Class of N ineteen-Fourteen. We have endeav- ored to portray Oknzulyee High School in the best possible manner, whether or not we have succeeded, you, our readers, will be the judges. If we have failed, it was not for lack of class spirit or interest. Our trials were even harder than those of our prede- cessors. W e know whereof we speak. , THE STAFF.

I believe I am really in that land inhabited by gnomes and faries, for-would you believe it?-there is a fairy right on that book, and listen! she is speaking: You seem surprised to see mef' she is saying, but I have been watching you for some time, and know of what you arc thinking: the future of the Class of Nineteen-Fourteen. So Listen, my child, and you shall hear Of the future days of your classmates dear. Look! Here is a magic mirror which will, with a few explanations from me, show you the exact life each 1914 graduate will be leading in years to comef' I take the small peculiar mirror she extends towards me and, looking in, I see an elderly man seated at a desk in a large law of1'ice. This man, though much older than when I last saw him, is none other than the Merwine Newhouse, who gradu- ated in 1914, and, as the fairy informs me, he is at the head of one of the largest law firms in the country. The scene in the mirror now changes to the principal business street in Chicago, and as I look I see a motor-car drive up before the largest wholesale dry goods house of the city and stop. A tall, business-like man alights and enters the building. This man, my companion informs me, is Sterling Williams, and I wonder that I did not recognize the erectness of the head and the elasticity of the step. Next the mirror shows a large, beautiful mansion on Fifth Avenue, New York. This is the city home of George L. Carlton, who is an oil magnate, having made a good investment in the oil-fields near Okmulgee. A moment and this magic mansion changes to a humble cottage, from whose window one may overlook the peaceful waves of the Pacino. I recognize in the snowy-haired matron in this house our friend and classmate Edna Shelton, and I am glad that at last her one ambition is fulfilled. This scene gradually fades, and the fairy speaks: 'fBefore a bright fire in a cozy room are seated two elderly ladies, one several years oldcr than the other. The younger of the two is-let me see-yes, she is the niece of the other and has lived with her aunt since she was a very small child. She ceases speaking, and I try to think who this can be, when suddenly I remember that Hazel Gourley lived with her aunt in 1914. Yes, this must be the Hazel of old, and I am greatly sur- prised to hear that she is still unmarried and with Aunt Mary. The fairy speaks again: f'In a pretty vine-covered cottage in the sunny South I find another of your classmates, a sweet-faced motherly little woman, who is recognized as the Southern beauty of '14, Galen Oliphant. Far from heree-'mid the snow-clad mountains of Switzerland, on the burning sands of Egypt or under the sunny skies of Italy--you will find Mildred Holcomb traveling, trying to forget that the Mark Twain of to-morrow, James Moroney, is opposed to woman's rightsf, As my companion finishes this sketch I look again into the mirror. At first there is nothing to be seen, but as I continue to gaze there appears a dim outline of what finally becomes the billboard of the Theatre Grande, Paris, announcing that Mlle. Decarde will be there for one night only. This great singer, I am told, is our own Lucile Deckard, who has mounted the ladder of Fame and has at last reached the highest rung of success. This pictured billboard slowly fades and there comes in its place a vast audi- ence sitting under the spell of a suffragist. As I look at her more closely I see she is no other than Oma Woods, our High School politician. As I sit musing on the many changes time brings to us my thoughts carry me 26 hither and thither. Suddenly I am recalled to the present by my fairy as she shifts the scene in the mirror. And now-wonder of wonders!-is it?-can it be?-Iona Goree of old, whom I see clearly and rapidly directing work for moving-picture films. ' As I gaze at this scene of activity the faces grow dim. There comes to my mind the hope that I may be granted a glimpse into my own future. Yes, figures begin to take form on the screen. And I see-but what is that? Ah! it is only the door-bell. And my fairy, Where is she? Well, here I 'Ve been dreaming-but, after all, dreams may come true. B. T., '14. Wi? Iaistnrp uf the Glass uf '14 In September, 1911, the Class of '14 came into existence. The class began as many other classes have done. We were just as verdant and just as important as most Freshmen. Those enrolled were Paul Amos, Milton Baker, George Carlton, Grace Cary, Elvira Embree, Mae Hull, Mildred Holcomb, Guy Irby, Harry Miller, James Moroney, Edna and Maude Shelton, Birthday Thompson, Clifford and Minnie Williams, Hazel Weimer, Aileen Gallagher, and Fred Roberts. About the second semester our circle was increased by the entrance of Albert Bender, Owita Davidson, Wallace Davidson, Galen Oliphant, Aubrey McElheny, Ora Wightman, Ima Jean Cameron, Willard Alexander, and Gladys Vickers. Through this year we pursued the even tenor of our way, nothing of any particular note taking place. By the time we entered our Sophomore year we were fairly good students, although we were somewhat saddened by the departure of Mae Hull, Harry Miller, Aileen Gallagher, Hazel Weimer, Fred Roberts, and Paul Amos. However, we soon enlarged our roll with the names of Oma Woods, Hiva Whities, and Clifford Moody. Juniors! Really we were getting up in the world and had already become the most studious class in O. H. S. During the first semester Grace Cary and Guy Irby left us, but we soon wel- comed Mildred Messenger, Iona Goree, and Lucile Deckard. On becoming Seniors, we attained our longed-for dignity, power, and glory. We also entered upon our inheritance of publishing an Annual. Nothing need be said of this, however, as it is able to speak for itself. As most classes do, we have made some mistakes in our high school days. We have also had many triumphs, and have reached our goal. In conclusion, I would say: Here 's to the Class of 1914! May your future be as bright as your past. Who could wish you more? L. F. D., '14.

Yes, this is .Mrs Brandon.-Mrs. McCrory? I thought so. You're going to Europe? Isn't that just grand! I do hope you have a lovely time. VVhere are you going?-You want me to help you decide? Oh! I see. Yes, I have traveled a little. Southern Spain is simply grand.-Yes, my sister is coming next week.-You 're going the first of July? I know you 'll have a beautiful time. I 'm just having a dreadful time. My butler attempted a coup d'etat, then my husband accomplished a coup de pied, so I am minus a butler. You remember when we had to look up words like that incessantly? Modern history! I forgot, though, you weren't in that class. Miss Graham was a dear, wasnit she?-It does seem centuries to me since the 'Golden Rule! days. I wish I might have part of it again. 'fWhy, my art teacher sent me to Spain to study a Moorish castle and paint it 5 said I was very successful, but you know how they do. Itm going again I think. There isn't any country so beautiful and with such a fund of interesting legends. 'tOh! you did? What does she look like now? Beautiful I know. Marian was such a pretty girl. Would you believe it? Vera is studying the natives of Dar Abu Dima, somewhere in the Soudan? She always was queer, you know. I don't see how she can stand it, but she just glories in trying to teach some little black urchin how to play the piano. I imagine it would be interesting.-By the way, Addison owns a packing-house in New York, I heard, and Michael King, according to the latest report, is going to run for the President's daughter-the presidency comes later, I suppose.-Russell Kimbley is the new oil king since Rock- efeller's death, I believe.-And what is the latest news of Mary?-Of course, I might have known. She keeps the dignified Austrian court laughing, doesnlt she? -Rev. Joseph Meyers? Yes, I heard that he became dangerously ill the other day, and Dr. Cott is now the attending physician. 'fAbout Spain? Why, I don't just know what to tell you. You simply must go to the Alhambra. The guide there is a very eccentric old man, but you 'll just love him after you know him, if you show a very strong interest in the legends, and there are some of the most beautiful legends. He told me about fThe Last Sigh of the Moor' and showed me the place. He certainly excels any history, and he persists in wearing the old Spanish garb, with a few Moorish touches, because he is part Moor as well as Spaniard and is proud of both. If he doesn't make it de- lightful for you, tell me, and I will compile a book of Moorish legends for your benefit. HOh, goodness! it 's nearly twelve! Good-bye. I hope you have a lovely time-know you will. Call me again before you go.-Oh! no trouble at all. Good-bye! Good-bye ! VIOLA WHEELER, !16. -.- PAWTUKA, NEW JERSEY, April Fool, Tango Year.

MARGARET MCCLELLAND 015132 water flllure 'fFreshie was considered one of the crudest Freshmen that had ever entered Roanoke College. Like all other college students, the boys were interested in his so-called childish manners, but all the time they were thinking of some way to break him in, as they termed it. There was one Sophomore among Freshie's'l acquaintances who had not entirely forgotten the woes of a Freshman. You will have to watch out for those Juniors, said Bob, the Sophomore, one day in a conversation with Freshie. They think Freshmen are merely victims of fun and jokes, but they are not so bad as the Juniors were last year. They were jealous of the Seniors, and the poor Freshmen suffered, but they are Seniors now, so I suppose you need not fear them. Speaking of the Juniors again, they sure are bad this- They seem to think, interrupted f'Freshie, that I am funny just be- cause I came from Arkansas, and they say, 'Everything is green and verdant in Arkansas' Just then the study bell interrupted their conversation. The following day as Bob was passing through the hall he saw two Juniors talking, it seemed to be something amusing, but he caught only scraps of the con- versation: That verdant Arkansawyern- the river to-night -4' he can swim. Then they passed on. But he heard enough to form his conclusion: that they were going to take Freshie to the river that night. Then he thought of something Freshie, had said the night before: I can't swim, and if they were to try the joke on me that they did on that boy, I believe I should drown before they thought the joke complete. That morning Bob gave a note to Freshie, and if anyone had cared to notice, he would have seen a Freshman looking rather frightened, and if he had followed farther, he would have seen three little zeros to 'fFreshiels credit, given in the next three classes. That evening Freshie entered the Sophomorels room with the frightened look yet on his face. He came directly to' business. 'fWhat was the important thing you had to tell me? he asked. Then Bob told him of what he had heard. Of course, as any other Freshman would do, he brought the teachers into the case. If you tell the teachers, said Bob, 'fthose Juniors will be sure to hear it, and it Will be worse than ever for you. But I have an idea that will cause them more trouble than it has you.', When Bob had told the plan to f'Freshie, he ejaculated: A dandy idea! That night five boys slipped from their rooms, and it looked as if they were not out for any good. About half an hour later they came from the building, but there was another person in the party. They were headed for the lake on the Campus. The hilarity of the mysterious party lessened as they neared the lake, for the last addition to the party seemed not at all overawed by the occasion. When they reached the lake their spokesman said to the prisoner, Now, as you are somewhat hot-tempered, we have decided to cool you off a little. When we say 'Jumpl' you go into that lake and swim until I say 'Readyf And if you don't go of your own accord, you 'll go anyway. Soon came the command, Jump! and, to their surprise and disappointment, their captive started without any hesitation. 'fSay, you 're too willingf' called the spokesman. Then, turning to his com- panions, 'fWe 'll have to stop that. You go across that lake, he called to their prisoner. It 's not very wide. When you reach the other side you say 'Pleasc,' and we 'll come after you, but if you donit go across, it will be a long time before I -52.- say 'Ready,' and if you do cross, but don't say 'Pleasef you will have a nice walk around the lake to the College building. The swimmer, paying no attention to the command and threat, Went on in his course as if he had a desired goal to reach. The Juniors stood on the bank laughing at the victim of their sport, but soon the boys' laughter ceased, and Worry took the place of mirth. I wonder why he doesn't say something, said one of the boys. 'fWhere is he any way? He 's not on the other shore, and the Water is peaceful. By this time they Were all frightened. Perhaps he couldn't swim, sug- gested one feebly. We 'll have to dive for him-but that Water is so cold! That 's a little thing. Suppose he is drowned, they would be sure to find us out, and then think what would happen! said another. 'fWell, here goes, H said the first. 'tI'll dive too H exclaimed two or three, and soon there were five boys in the Water. It was a frightened and water-soaked group of boys that returned to the dor- mitory that night. They could hardly crawl through the Window which they had left open, and all were dreading the morrow. 7F Pk ek PF Pk Dk Pk Bk Pk ik FF Pk Pk wk 7 7 It surely was funny, said Bob, when telling Freshie', of his adventure. They thought all the time it was you. The Water Was a little cold, but it didn't take long to get out of their sight, and I suppose they got as Wet as I did. And did you notice this morning how they jumped when they saw you? I suppose they thought they were seeing a ghost. And, by the Way, 'Freshie,' your bed sleeps almost as good as minef' L. J., 'l6. Q05 MKUTBWTUC Y 154.. QE Ulibe Girls' Glen Qllluh Although for some time during the first of the year Mr. Stabler, our Music Director, was ill, the Girls' C1lee Club of this year has been Working up some very diflicult pieces. NVith several good sopranos and altos added since last year, each section has been greatly strengthened. Instead of using the Whole chorus for Baccalaureate and Conimencement, as heretofore, this year Mr. Stabler has decided to use only the Boys, and Girls' Cflee Clubs. Some of the pieces which will be used are: Hark, Hark, My Soul,', by Shelleyg HWhen the Toil of Day Is' Over, by Hadley, and Praise Ye the Father, by Gounod. VVe hope by next year the Glee Club will be even better than it is now. Al- though all who have heard the Glee Club sing are well satisfied, We very naturally look forward to a great future. P.

One day anfox was bragging to his friends that he knew so much about the world and its tricks that he could easily teach twenty people what were good to do. .lust as the hunter's horn sounded in the distance, his friends followed his teachings and got out of reach, but the poor fox was caught. It is easier to give instructions to twenty than to be one of the twenty to follow your own instructions. W. H., '16. . l,-l...l.l..i--1 illibe Eaisp AN ALLEGORY. Among a great number of flowers grew a daisy. Everyone that saw it eX- claimed, What a beautiful daisy that is! It should have been happy, but it was not g it longed to see more of the world. One day a child plucked it, and how happy it was then! After carrying it around awhile, the child grew tired of it and threw it into the brook. It was carried on and on, where it saw many beautiful things. For a while it was caught among the leaves of a beautiful water lily. The daisy then thought itself to be in the land of Paradise, but it was finally loosened and carried on and on over stony places. At last it came in contact with many obstacles of leaves and sticks and was washed up on the bank of a brook, where it ended its life. R.

Its purpose is to raise and maintain a high standard of morals, scholarship, and sanitation in the Okmulgee schools, and to promote the co-operation of patrons and teachers. Regular meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month in the High School auditorium. Parents and teachers alike have profited by the exchange of ideas, and a growth of sympathy and interest is apparent. The social meetings also have been a pleasant feature of the year 1913-14. Aside from its influence for good-fellowship, the Club has contributed to ma- terial needs this year by furnishing 3Bl00 Worth of playground apparatus.

Ever since this organization was established in 1909 there has been a re- markable growth in general Athletics. The Constitution of the organization calls upon members to give their support toward the uplifting of O. H. on the athletic field. The membership fee assessed against each member is used in buying sup- plies and clefraying the necessary expenses. Each year has shown a growth in this organization and we hope that it will continue to do so. There has been organized a County Athletic Association, which unites the different School Athletic Associations of Okmulgee County. 4.1 5 9 Mm- 1 BARLOXV. Coach.

Blondy was the best quarterback O. H. S. ever had. He played the game from start to finish. He was especially good on fake plays and forward passes. -33- jfunthall imhietn The first game of the season was played at Kiefer, October 3d, and resulted in a victory for O. H. S. The score was 30-0. In this game Meyers, Rebold, and Mowry were the individual stars. Rebold was injured at this time. This was ay great loss to us, for he was one of our best linemen. We hope, however, that he Will play for O. H. S. next year. The next game was played at Tulsa, October 10th. Here, owing to the weight and experience of our opponents, we were defeated, with the score 58-7. How- ever, we did not let this defeat disappoint us, for we had played against the football champions of the State. In this game Gilmore distinguished himself by making an eighty-yard run for a touchdown. The third game of the season was played with Sapulpa High School at Ok- mulgee, October 17th. The score read 37-7 in favor of Okmulgee. This game was Okmulgee's from the outset, as our superior team-work won over Sapulpafs Weight. The next game was played with VVVetumka, October 24th, and resul-ted in a victory for O. H. S. of 28-7. This was said to be the best game of the season, as it was hard fought from the start. The next game was played at Sapulpa, where, owing to the injury of our players in preceding games, we were defeated, the score being 13-7, in favor of Sapulpa. . On October 31st we were opposed on our home grounds by the Kiefer High School. They came down expecting to redeem themselves for their earlier defeat at our hands, but we sent them home with the zero end of a 36-0 score. The seventh game of our football season is one that will go down in the history of O. H. S. as the day set aside by the Fates for our downfall. It happened at Sapulpa on Friday, the 13th, 1913. By the score 40-O, we were defeated by the Euchee Indians, whom we were expecting to defeat easily, as we had done the pre- ceding year. In this game our opponents were well supported by their Hrootersf' The last game of the season, played Thanksgiving Day, is one that will also be be remembered. We were opposed by Haskell High School. About the time the game started it began to rain and rained hard all during the game. However, when the game was finished it stood 56-6, in favor of O. H. S. Thus the season was finished with five games won and three games lost. We had a total of 203 points, while our opponents had only 131 points. Okmulgee's Team this year was the best one that has represented her Inter- scholastic Athletics. Next year practically all of this year's team will be with us, and our hopes are for even a better team. -8 5- Bupa' Basketball R. R. BARLOVV. Coach. Barlow Was the best Coach O. H. S. ever had. He aroused a fighting spirit in the boys that could not be kept down. We all hope to have him with us next year. JOHN FUNK fCaptainj. Center. John could outjump any center in the State. He has played With the Team for three years, but played a better game this year than ever before. GEORGE BRUNDIDGE. Left Guard. This was George's first year with O. H. S., and he made himself famous by getting clown the field with the ball. JOSEPH METERS. Left Forward. HJoe was one of the fastest forwards in this section of the country. His basket-throwing was 21 feature of all games. BAs1L GILMORE. Right Guard. Basil was another of the new men who made good. Hls appearzuice strength- ened the Team it great deal. I J onN CARY. If ight Forwa Nl . One of the veterans who helped build up the score against our opponents. -8 7... Easkethall ikehiem The 1914 basketball season opened with a rush for O. H. S. True enough, we had lost several good men from 1913, but still we had several experienced men on the squad. Practice started shortly after the football season was ended. Out of the veterans we had Meyers, Crunk, and Kimbley, While a large number of likely ones reported for the first practice. One ofthe best of these was George Brundidge, another was Gilmore. The advent of these two made our prospects look very good indeed. Later, John Cary was reinstated in Athletics and he strengthened the team considerably, as his basket-shooting was very good. The first game of the season was with Kiefer, a team consisting mostly of ex- perienced players. This game was played at Kiefer, December 13th, and resulted in a score of 32 to 14, in favor of Kiefer. On December the 9th the team Went to Holdenville, where they were beaten 26 to 24, which was a very commendable showing for a team that had had so little practice and which was playing away from home. The next team the O. H. S. quintet went up against was Checotah, on January 9th and 10th. The first game resulted in favor of Okmulgee High School, 22 to 18. On the following day another game was played, which resulted in favor of Checotah, 13 to 12. The Checotah Team was probably the fastest the O. H. S. Team had had to contend with thus far. January 16th the O. H. S. quintet met the fast Euchee Indian Team and defeated them by a score of 38 to 24. In this game Cary and Funk distinguished themselves by their basket-shooting. On February 30th a game was scheduled with Weleetka, to be played on O. H. S. Court, but, owing to the failure of Weleetka to report, a game was played between the Juniors and Seniors rs. Sophomores and Freshmen. This game resulted in a victory for the under-classmen, 35 to 17. The next victory for O. H. S. was at Haskell, where the Team took two games, the first 34 to 19 and the other 20 to 18. Owing to the inability to play of several members of the Team, the basketball season for O. H. S. ended a little early. But, considering the fact that all the games were played away from home, the team's record is a very good one, and as none of this year's team graduate, there should be a championship Team in O. H. S. next year. ,89- Baseball Easshall QButInuk We were rathcr disheartened at the beginning of baseball practice, for we had lost several good men in last year's graduating Class, but nevertheless a large squad reported for practice. Out of these have developed some good baseball material. The first game of the season was with our old rivals, Henryetta, and although we were beaten by them, We still do not concede to them the county honors' and before the season is over there promises to be some hotly contested struggles between O. H. S. and H. H. S. 191- Qirls' Basketball BEssE POTTER. BEULAH SPRAGEE. Manager. Captain. Weight, 115. Weight, 117. Besse se rv ed as second center.

QThat 's what she told us.j Susie Christine deserves credit for all our good playing of this season. It is by her careful training that we have made good. She is a jolly companion of the girls, and is one of us. HAZEL MCCRORY. Weight, 120. UMM has played a star game all season as right guard. Her agility, steady playing, and power of endurance are marvelous. VIOLA URI. Weight, 118. Vi always played a good game as left guard, and could always be depended upon. She was strong and good at every stage of the game. 1 V t. X. N, l ANNA ROBERTS. Weight, 118. Our left forward is the old standby. This is her second season in basketball, and we hope to have her with us next year. MAE BODINE. Weight, 128. Mae is our right forward.

She is not heavy, but is ex- ceptionally fast. She has the knack of being everywhere the ball is. I -94- A girls' Basketball Practice began early last fall, with hopes of a fine season before us. Our object was to keep up the good reputation that the Team of '13 had made for O. H. S. Miss Fischer has certainly shown her skill as a Coach in the good work she has helpedustodo. F F c c 'fr is .. . Our line-up for this year is as follows: Jumping Center, .... Beulah Sprague. Second Center, . Besse Potter. Left Guard, . . Viola Url. Right Guard, . . . Hazel JWcCrory. Left Forward, . . . Anna Roberts. Right Forward, . . Mae Bodine, Pauline H essick. Oma Woods and Marguerite Lunney, as substitutes, did some excellent work. Our first game was with Holdenvilleg this we hoped to win, in order to start the season oil right, but we tied, the score being 6 to 6. For various reasons, the tie was not played off. During the season we have played Tahlequah, lVetumka, and Kiefer. XVQ lost some games, however, the long side of the score is still ours. VVe have ahead of us a few games, which we expect to win. VVe are also con- templating entering several contests in the spring. r- ' -90- I A c . The iaunatnays Return It was a cold, dark night. Rain had fallen the day before, then the river had risen and quickly filled with cakes of ice. Because of this, the Robinsons were to spend the night with their friends, the Watkins family. But Within the Watkins' little home all was cozy and cheerful as the two fami- lies sat around the large fireplace and told stories. When Mr. Robinson began a new story, little Anna Watkins slipped across to her motherls lap, and when he reached the place where the ghost came right after Mary, little Jack, Anna's twin, wailed, Ooh-ooheoohl Please, Mr. Robinson, don'tl And Mary ran as fast as she could, but the ghost caught her and made her give back the golden ear, went on Mr. Robinson. Hurray for the ghost! yelled Dick Robinson, aged ten. Mrs. Watkins went out and brought in a plate of doughnuts. The ghost story soon ended, and then it was Mr. Watkins' turn. He denied any knowledge of ghosts, but told of a farmer who had struck a gold mine while digging a well. While this merry scene was progressing a stranger walked without a sound to the front gate, glancing first to one side and then to the other, sometimes crouching low, and then hurrying on, always making for the front door of the little cottage. As he drew near to the door he hesitated, and then, without a sound, walked to the low window and looked in, probably to get a better View of the little group within. The visitor wore stripes. He looked gaunt and hungry and there was a wild gleam in his eye. Whatever his object in coming to the little cottage, he was certainly interested in those within. After watching the merry group for some time, the stranger tapped gently on the window. Little Anna straightened up. I hear something, she whispered. Go and see what it is, said her mother. No, gasped Anna, it might be a ghost! Jack will go, said Mrs. Watkins. 4' Nog, Jack won't, said that young man, getting under the table. The children, already frightened by many ghost stories, were ready to cry if anyone so much as hinted that one of them should move. Mr. Robinson opened the door and in walked the strange visitor. He did not crouch, as he had done out of doors, but came with head erect, and there he stood among them as if he belonged to that happy circle-the Watkins, long-lost gray Tom-cat. After the first moment of surprise, all laughed gaily as the children affectionately welcomed their pet. HELEN VVANN, '17. Iiaisturp uf Gkmulgee Qnbnnls Thirteen years ago this fall the first white school was established through the influence of a few public-spirited pioneers, who donated suflicient funds with which to build and equip a small frame structure on lot No. 23 and pay E. E. Riley a small compensation for a six-months term of school. . The seven-months session of 1901-02, in charge of E. F. Pierce and one as- sistant, was financed by Okmulgeels first tax levy, which was on chattel property, amounting to 3527,440. The taxes were not payable until January 1, 1902, so Mr. Pierce and assistant taught nearly five months before receiving any pay. In 1902-03 Cell P. Fowler and three assistants constituted a Faculty. They deserve especial mention, because it was they who offered the first High School work and in a sense became the founders of the Okmulgee High School. The session of 1903-04 was also conducted by Mr. Fowler, and his teaching staff was doubled. The East Side had a school building and a teacher for the first term. During the summer of 1904 the old Central building was begun, but, owing to a rainy season, was not completed until the middle of October. The first Monday in November of 1904 C. T. Baker and nine assistants took charge of the schools and ran an eight-months term. The session of 1904-05 is memorable because Okmulgee had for the first time a suitable place in which to hold school. That Mr. Baker was successful is evidenced by the fact that he was re-employed for the session of 1905-06. During this session there were eleven teachers on the force. Thomas Scott and thirteen assistants took charge in the fall of 1906. Mr. Scott remained incharge for three and one-half years and during that time did much to build up the present efficient school system. Among other things, he introduced a definite course of study, definite rules and regulations, inaugurated the idea of keeping permanent school records, and got the Board to pass many desirable resolutions looking towards the raising of the standards for teachers. During his administration the East Side School building was erected and an ad- dition made to the Dunbar. When Mr. Scott resigned in January of 1910, there were twenty-seven teachers on the force. ' Upon Mr. Scott's resignation, N. O. Hopkins, the present Superintendent, took charge. During his administration the High School building and the building in Capital Heights have been completed. The schools have been organized on a ward-school basis, Manual Training, Domestic Science, and Art have been introduced into both white and colored schools, the work above the Fourth Grade has been reorganized on the depart- mental plan, the High School has been accredited byall the- leading colleges and universities, an Athletic Association and an Orchestra have been organized. The buildings are fumigated frequently with formaldehyde, and the floors are oiled from time to time. Drinking fountains have been installed in all the build- ings, liquid soap and paper towels have been placed in every toilet-room, an emergency cabinet has been placed in each office, and regular medical inspection has been carried on. Okmulgee was, according to Dr. Mahr, the first city in the State to inaugurate efficient medical inspection in the schools. The Library has grown from 300 to 2,500 volumes. New school blanks, new courses of study, new rules and regulations have been made, and new methods of instruction have been provided from year to year to meet the demands of our rapidly growing city. lg ni 5 Z 'Y' QNX ,,, u Qg2 - 'ff-E I ff-V2 1 5552, f :f ir AN M if 15 125 ' 1 Z. -- V, ..

W., ,14 Q9. 19. 9. wireless btatiun While in Muskogee two years ago I met Mr. Tom Reid, who had a Wireless station located at the Fair Grounds. Having had some experience in telegraph operating, he let me 'ilisten in. Hearing my lirst Wireless message gave me the fever, so when I came home I began to study the subject and also started the collection of instruments. From December, 1912, until January, 1914, I purchased the set, and now have completed the Whole outfit, at a cost of over two hundred dollars. I have had very good 'results in receiving, having heard Arlington, Va. CNAAJ, Key West, Fla. CNARJ, Havana, Cuba QMD, Colon, Panama CNAXD, Fort Leaven- worth, Kas. CFLD, Fort Sam Houston, Tex. QSAJ, and several other stations. I have not done very much sending yet, but have the power to send over three hundred miles. I have operator and station license, and should like to communicate with anyone Within my range. My call is 5 BT. CHARLES C. IXIEDLIN, 114 East Third Street, Okmulgee, Okla. -104- Boating Qllamp Me'n Pete wuz walkin' down Slater Street one afternoon, goin' after cows- Slater Street's a tow-path what's named after my paw, ain't nothin' on it but weeds, but I heard Maw say it wuz quite a honor. An' suddenly Pete-Pete's my best friend , we allus run off together an' get lickin's together, an' everything- Pete he just jumped up an' knocked me down. An' after I rolled over a couple 0' times an' rubbed my head, 'cause Pete's awful strong, if you don't believe it, you let him hit you once real hard an' you'll be converted -that's what Parson Doone says when wants you to believe everything he tells you. So I rubbed my head an' sat up, an' Pete almos' hit me ag'in, he wus so excited. I wus glad he didn't. Then Pete says: 'tTarnation! Josh- Joshua's my name, 'cause my grandmother insisted on a Bible name, so's I'd be good. So I got the Bible name, but the other ain't been ufulhlled yet, Parson Doone says, an' I guess he knows, 'cause he allus knows more about what I'm doin' th 'n I do. That's just how I come to be named Joshua. Pete says, t'Tarnation! Josh, why can't we go out in them woods back o' your paw's farm an' build a camp? I read a rippin' story th' other day, 'The Luck 0' Roarin' Camp,' an' we kin name our camp 'Roarin' Camp' lVhat d'ye say? I jumped up an' almos' knocked him down. An' Pete an' me we set t' plan- nin'. I knowed I c'd get a reg'lar picnic dinner from ol' Aunt Nanny, that's our cook. Maw says she's simply grand, an' I think she sure is bully. An' we de- cided t' borrow ol' man Riley's mule. He don't never use him, an' anyhow we got a grudge ag'in that ol' mule. Onct me'n Pete tried t' ride him an' th' onory ol' thing just laid down an' rolled over, 'stid o' tryin' by honest means t' get us off. We decided not t' tell nobody, an' t' go th' next night. WVc got ready all right. Aunt Nanny she says: f'Lawsy! honey, what's yo' up to now? Uv co'se yo' kin hab some bacin an' iczigs an'-a. fry-pan! VVell, fo' de good Lawd's sake, whut 'ud yo' want wid a ry-pan, chile? I told her, an' I says, Now, Aunty, don' you tell nobody, an' we're goin' t' have lots o' fun. All right, honey. Aunty don' tell nobody. VVe waited till after dark, 'cause ol' man Riley fools 'roun' late sometimes. An' we had the awfulest time with that consarn mule. Maw says it's naughty t' say consarn, an' Parson Doone says it shows an irreligious tendency that should be immediately checked. But Paw just laughs 5 maybe he knows I heard him say sumpthin' worse'n that one day out t' th' barn when he wus feedin' ol' Nick. Nick wus a awful mean horse Paw got on a bet. Maw wus turribly shocked when she heard Paw'd been bettin', an' Parson Doone he sed, It's the judgment of God on such evil ways. Pete knows all kinds o' beautiful words like that, he's been to the city. Tarnation 's a favorite o' ours, an' we keep it for special occasions, but we used 'em all 'fore we got that mule started. Things went nice an' smooth then. VVe had everything packed in a nice big sack, an' once we got Sam started we got along dandy. An' that night wus all right, too. Next mornin' we packed our things up ag'in an' meanin' t' go farther, an' all of a sudden Squire Duncan's big prize bull come out o' th' woods. When you see it in a car it's a fine-lookin' specimen, the Squire sed, but when we saw it I guess we didn't quite 'preciate it, an' it's a sure thing Sam. didn't. 'Ih' way we all started it might h' been a prize race. Sam wus leadin' an' didn't inten' t' quit, Pete an' I wus makin' it at various places 'tween his head an' tail-mighty uncom- fortable, but we didn't realize it at th' time.

Once, long ago when the world was new, two children wandered gaily out into the morning. Lured by bright flowers, butterflies, birds, and rabbits, they raced over lovely fields. And so the morning wore on. At noon the heat was oppressive, and the fields were not so fair, but they pushed on. All the early afternoon a stretch of green field was varied by a stream, which had to be crossed on shady rocks, or a bit of rocky road or a stretch of forest. It was late afternoon when they came to the shadow road and the unfriendly road. At the dividing-point stood two figures, side by side, with tablets in their hands. One tablet extolled the shadows, saying that one might have all and give nothing, the other told of dangers to be conquered and the prize at the end. Ohl cried one, 'AI will take the shadow road. See how fair it is! But I wonder where the shadow road ends? said the other. 'II will go by the unfriendly road. Will you go with me? It seems safer. No, I will go this way, answered the other, stepping into the shadows. As he journeyed on he noticed a snake among the roses that fringed his path, but as he looked closer it disappeared, and he was not troubled. He found thistles growing among the roses, but heeded them little. Farther on it was only a rose or two that bloomed among the many thorns, and he would have turned back, but a legion of nettles lay in his path. So he traveled on. A huge snake uncoiled from the shadows, frightening him. He started to one side and fell over the brink of the preeipice. And the night closed over him. The other turned, as his friend left him, to the unfriendly road, hastening, for the twilight was deepening. It was not far. He scarcely minded the bruises, the falls, the angry beasts, or the uncertain light, for he had seen while toiling a light far away and it had led him on and on. At last he reached a beautiful garden, where he rested from his labors. And there was no night for him. V C , '16 ilillemurp Verses l.

You will understand why I write you regarding a matter of such importance when I tell you how many happy hours and even many lives have been upset by similar troubles. Still I feel that you should know the worst at once, for, in all sincerity, it may mean life or death to me. I dare not communicate the state of my mind to my friends, for, as you know, they are not to be trusted these days, so in my distress I appeal to you, knowing your friendly feeling towards me. I know I am asking a great deal of you, but I have confidence in you, and have considered this carefully. I will ask that you put aside all your social joys and devote at least a part of your time to this question that interests me so very much. I dare not sign my name, as you know other eyes besides yours may see this. Now, once more and for all, I ask you to tell me, in the name of the friendship you bear me, do you think Jeff will ever be as tall as Mutt?

At that time it was a town of about 1,800 people, and the principal occupation of the whole county was agriculture. To-day this same Okmulgee is a bustling city of 8,000, but agriculture, while still as important as it ever was, is now the second greatest industry of Okmulgee County and particularly of the city of Okmulgee. First among our industries is the oil business. From the time that the first well in this district was brought in, in 1907, this part of Oklahoma has been the liveliest in the West. A proof of this is the scarcity of houses and the high cost of rents. Seven years ago the first well in the county was brought in, in the neighborhood of Morris, six miles east of Okmulgee. The famous Glenn Pool in Creek County had already proved that there was plenty of oil in the state, and within a short time after the bringing in of the first well an extension of the Morris Pool was developed in the Bald Hill country to the northeast. During the past four years the oil business has developed in all directions. During the year 1910 the famous Preston Pool was opened, bringing the territory to the north within six miles of our town. Within the last two years the Shulter, Henryetta, and Pine Pools have been opened and developed, completing the circle and making Okmulgee the center of the oil-producing region. Not only is this one of the greatest oil- and gas-producing communities of the State, but it is also the largest manufacturing center west of the Mississippi. This new industry is a direct outgrowth of the oil and gas industry, as gas is needed for fuel. There are three glass factories in our city, all of which have come here during the last three years. The largest of these is run entirely by machinery and employs about two hundred men. Our glass-workers are of the substantial kind, who come here with their families to live. VVhere there is oil and gas there are always supply stores and machine shops. There are four shops and six stores in Okmulgee which handle nothing but sup- plies for the driller. These bring a good class of people to any city. During the last year and a half the freight receipts have increased over 200 per cent, over iHS100,000 having been handled some months. More than half of the freight receipts were oil supplies and products from our refineries. There are two oil refineries, which handle most o-f the oil-production from the fields around Okmulgee. Both are working full blast constantly. These industries are considered the most important, but there are others almost as important and without which there would be no oil-production near here, these include teaming, tank-building, rig-building, and many others. Okmulgee is in just the same ccndition now as numerous other towns and cities in Ohio, VVest Virginia, and Pennsylvania were twenty-five years ago. When the oil-production died in those States, the industries died. Now the most import- ant oil center of the country is this part of Oklahoma. Okmulgee may follow the towns of other oil regions to decay. However, judging from the wide scope and pro- ductiveness of our oil territory, we have reason to believe our outlook to be for a prosperous development. -118- Bulnres 'Twas .a beautiful morning. The perfume-laden breeze softly stirred the leaves, while the sky overhead was an ocean of blue, Hecked here and there by lacy white clouds. Dolores Kendall stood in the old-fashioned garden, with its beds of marigolds, bleeding hearts, bachelor buttons, and forget-me-nots, drinking in the delicious fragrance. Her attention was suddenly arrested by the chug-chug of an approach- ing car, and, eager to see the occupants, she hastily walked to the edge of the garden, where she could command a view of the road. Robert Vane and his friend David Clark were enjoying a quiet morning spin in the former's new Overland, when David exclaimed: 'fBob, isnlt that a picture worth remembering?-the big white house with its tall pillars, the orchard, a swaying mass of pink and white, the trim lawn, with its fountain sparkling in the morning sun. Yes, replied Bob. But, David, look there in the garden: isn't that a picture? I must speak to her. Stopping the car, he leaped lightly to the ground. Ah! good morning. Could you tell me the way to Grenville? Yes, sir, said Dolores. Grenville lies ten miles to the southwest. Follow this road due west and then take the cross-road which lies to the left. Thank you. Isn't Grenville a sort of summer resort? Yes, sir, it is situated on the bank of Lake Gutan and is noted for its beau- tiful scenery and its fine hotels. f'Speaking of beautiful scenery, this is grand! 'fOh! thank you, sir. Kendalldale is very dear to me. I have lived here since I was a small child. t'Kendalldale! Is this the home of the great John Kendall, so famous for his great inventions? And you are- Yes, this is his home, and I am Dolores Kendall. Let me introduce myself. I am Bob Vane. I have often heard my father speak of Mr. Kendall. It seems he graduated from Harvard the same year your father did. Oh, isn't that grand! You must come to the house and see father. He 'll be ever so pleased to know you. 'fThanks, I will. But first let me introduce my friend. David was duly presented, and then they proceeded to the house. Mr. Kendall was pleased to meet the son of his old friend, and it is needless to say they all enjoyed the morning. After luncheon the boys persuaded Mr. Kendall and Dolores to accompany them to Grenville, where they spent the remainder of the afternoon canoeing-at least, Dot and Bob did-and late in the evening they had dinner at the Fostoria. Then came the ride home through the moonlight, which, Dot confided to Bob, wasn't half long enough. Bob became quite a frequent visitor at Kendalldale. Of course, he always managed to convey the idea that he wanted to hear all the old jokes Mr. Kendall could tell of his father, but soon after he arrived Mr. Kendall always found some important work he had forgotten to do, and so deserted them. Pk bk is Pls PIC Pk Pls Dk vk Pk Dk Pk Pk Pk Ik One moonlight night Mr. Kendall, tiring of work, walked out into the garden. He heard voices, and turning he saw Dot and Bob only a few feet away. Bob seemed to be pleading, although Mr. Kendall was unable to hear what he said. -119- Then all at once Dot slipped her arms about Bob's neck and turned her face up to his. Mr. Kendall turned away, thinking of another fair Dolores-how he had Woed and won her 3 how happily they had livedg then he remembered how he had promised her to make little Dot as happy as she had been. This was the hour he had dreaded so long, when his little girl would come and tell him she had given her love to another.

S., we remember in the first generation there were four descendants: Mamie Evans, Elsie 1Vheeler, Helene Baker, and Richard Jenness. Two of these, hlamie Evans and Richard Jenness, are still in Okmulgee. Richard completed a law course at the University of Oklahoma in 1912, and is now an attorney of note in our city. Helene Baker, after a long illness and a heroic struggle for health, passed away June 21, 1913. CLASS OF 1908. In 1907 there were none who had attained the goal of Seniorship, and the succeeding year there was only one graduate, Ona Marrs, who is now Mrs. Oliver Sparks. CLASS OF 1909. The Class of 1909 will be remembered as having seven members: Crystal Seider Cnow Mrs. VVilliam Gingerichj, Alex. Johnson, Myron Winslow, W'illis Winslow, Leland Stanford, Thomas Jenness, and Ralph Viersen. After a four- years course at West Point, Leland Stanford will go into active sevice in June. The VVinslow boys, having finished college last year, are now holding positions in Oregon. The other members of the class are all in Okmulgee. Alex. Johnson, having completed a law course at the University of Kansas, is now practicing law here. Each one has succeeded, and O. H. S. is glad to claim them as her children. CLASS OF 1910. ' This Class was greater in numbers than any other Class that had gone before, there being eleven Seniors: E. W. Marrs, Carrie Brydia, WVilliam Gingerich, Mabel Hull, Howard Andrews, Della Dickerson, Ollie Marrs, Louise Clark, Mary Brownfield, Raymond Ward, and Arabella Marvin. Mabel Hull and Arabella Marvin are both attending college, Mabel the University of Missouri and Arabella a college in Virginia. E. W. Marrs is working as bookkeeper for an electrical company in Grenville, Texas. Other members of the class are in California, In- diana, and Oklahoma, several of them living in Okrnulgee. CLASS OF 1911. The Class of 1911 was the first one to graduate from the new High School building. They probably had some advantages over the preceding Classes, as there was more room, and as a number of improvements were added whic the other classes had not had the advantage of. In this class there were: Janet lVIcCready Cnow Mrs. Thomas Jennessj, Arthur Swain, Edith Viersen, Bryant Carlton, Lena Evans, Guila Hulsey Cnow Mrs. Maurice Farrisj, Young Russell, and Everett Filley. CLASS OF 1912. Of the Class of 1912 there were seven members: Irene Skelton Know Mrs. Pancoastj, Neil Marvin, Bertha Skillen, VVilliam Schock, Lorene Dixon, Dorsey Funk, and Harry Preston. All the members of this class deserve our thanks as the first class to publish a Year Book. CLASS OF 1913. This class was the largest Senior Class in the history of O. H. S., there being twenty-four members. They were an unusually strong class, and a great deal of work was accomplished by them during their four-years course. There were in this class: Ruth Mabrey, Dean VVidener, Kate Milan, Price Starks, Vera Allen, Harry Wirick, Florence Milner, Hubert Uri, Helen Finch, Gilpin Sessions, Manell -125- Hamilton, Corley Smith, Blanche Smith, Leland Skelton, Leona Kimbley, Rose Clark, Clifford Moody, Helen Butler, John Allen, Dorothy Hessick, Hazel YVeimer, Jake Foraker, Zadia Hoff, and Beatrice Hoff. We are very glad to know that fourteen members of this class are attending colleges or universities. -126- Qlumni iganquet On Friday evening, May 23, 1913, the first Alumni Banquet ever participated in by the Alumni of O.

Situated in the center of the now thriving little city of Okmulgee, it stands where but a few years ago the Creek youth viewed it with admiration, and, filled with high ambitions, cherished the thoughts that some day he, chosen by his towns- men, would sit in the chamber of the House of Warriors or the House of Kingsvg or, chosen by his tribesmen, rule his people as Principal Chief. But destroyed are these his dreams, and fallen in ruin are these his air- castles. He wanders through the streets of his former Washington,l' lost and friendlessg seeing his own captol building, the center of his ambitions, occupied by the white man. He even hears the people who would be his friends talking of destroying it Cthink of it lj, even tearing it down, the one spot as dear to him as our dear Capitol at Washington. What would you think if foreigners should come to this country and dismantle and destroy our Capitol? t This two-story stone building, with the grounds, occupies a whole block, and is the most valuable property in the town. What an historical-looking building it is! Made of stone 5 the windows large and divided into many small panes, a spacious court containing many treesHoak, elm, cottonwood, sycamore, and maple, mon- archs of the forest, a large stone palisade around it g and over all hovering the American eagle with outstretched wings, facing every wind that blows, keeping watch over the town, and apparently defying any force that would attempt to destroy the building which it guards. The history of this building is very brief. It was not the first Creek Coun- cil House, for, previous to the erection of the present one, a log two-story one, with two rooms on each floor, a hall separating them, occupied the same spot. This became too small for their use, so the building was torn down and the logs used in building Indian houses, whilc the present stone one was built in its place. This was in 1878, when Okmulgee was but a small Indian village and trading post. The Indians used it as their capitol building. In it were the offices of -128- the Chief, National Auditor, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Treas- urer, while the Supreme Court held its sessions there and the National Counci held its sittings. The Indians permitted it to be used as a Town Hall, and allre- ligious bodies were allowed to hold services in it, none being excluded, for which the people were grateful. From 1879 until 1907 the Creeks used it for this purpose, but in 1907, Oklahoma becoming a State, and suitable quarters being needed for the different officers of the county, the County Commissioners rented it from the Indians, and it has been used for this purpose up to the present time. The building may be approached by four iron gates in the wall which sur- rounds it. This wall one may suppose was built merely for ornamental pur- poses, but not so. In the early days no fences existed and cattle were permitted to roam at will over the country. During the hot weather the cattle would, dur- ing the heat of the day, drift down into the timbered bottoms south and west of the city. When the day began to get cooler the cattle began to come back to graze upon the open prairie, so that many passed by and stopped to graze around the building as they made their way to the plains north, northeast, and east. Then, for protection, it became necessary that some kind of fence be built 5 and as a result, a year or two after the building was completed, the present stone wall was built. Another part of the surroundings which has not always been there is the little porches in front and behind. These were added some years later. The building may be entered by six doors! two on the east, two on the west one on the south Cbackj, and one on the north Cfrontj. The door towards the north on the east leads into what was formerly the office of the National Treas- urer. The south door on the east leads into the oflice of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The north door on the west opened into the office of the Principal Chief and the Second Chief. The south door on the west opened into that of the National Auditor. The north and south doors open into the large hall which runs through the building. Four doors lead from this hall into four rooms, These were used as committee rooms 3 the most important committees being the Financial, Educational, Judiciary, Foreign Relations, Claims, and Citizenship. One of the committee rooms was used for a while by Miss Alice Calehan, who conducted a private Indian School. A stairway ascends from the center of the hall to a sim- ilar hall on the second floor, which runs parallel with the first and also runs par- allel through the building. The stairway divides at the first landing and runs in opposite directions from thence to the top. At each end of this hall a door opens out onto the small porticos, where a good view of the town and surrounding terri- tory might have been obtained before the present surrounding buildings were erected. Four doors open into the rooms from this hall. The two doors on the east open into the large room where the House of Warriors formerly sat. The 'House of Warriors corresponded to our House of Representativesfl and its mem- bers were similarly chosen, according to population, from the forty-eight towns of the Nation. The south door on the west side opens into the room in which the well-known House of Kings tour Senatej assembled. These members were chosen in like manner to our Senators, one being chosen from each Indian town. The north door on the west side opens into the court-room of the Indian Su- preme Court. The chair in which the old Indian Judges used to sit was used by the first County Judge of Okmulgee County. In the belfry hangs the'old bell, -129- whose solemn note has called many a council together, but it has not been heard for many a day, few knowing it is there. In the yard stands the historical old tree known as the Old Execution Tree. Here, according to the old Indian custom, an Indian condemned to die, having visit- ed and associated with relatives and friends for a time, returned on the day ap- pointed, and, bidding friends and loved ones farewell, sat down on his coffin and was executed by being shot by a member of The Light-horsemen, the In- dian constabulary. In this yard have been held many Indian barbecues. Here the Indians have been addressed by members of their own tribe and representa- tives of the Government.. Here many tribal affairshave taken place. Even at present this spot is by no means deserted. , Here one may find the one spot in Okmulgee on a hot summer's day where it is cool. Here those who are hot and weary may find rest and refuge from the scorching rays of the sun, and under the shade of a nearby tree wipe the sweat from their brows and quench their thirst with the cool refreshing Water from the well in the yard. Here on a warm summer's evening we may come and rest while we listen to the band as it plays in the pavilion, or eat ice cream served by different organiza- tions of the town. Here are heard the speakers of the day. Here are held the barbecues of various occasions, and the exercises of various holidays. Shame on those who would seek to destroy this building or desecrate the spot whereon it stands! the place so dear to every Indian, the place where we teach one, no doubtb have spent many pleasant hours. Shame on them! I say. And may this building long remain, a memorial of a once prosperous and peace- ful nation. ' M. B.

Why can't I get out and fly around like other birds? he sighed. I know that I am fed well and I am treated well, but I long to see something of the world outside of this cage. A I He became sullen and would not sing. One day the cage door was open, and the canary fiew away Many sparrows were in the trees. Some were busy, some were not, and they frightened him with their chattering. A humming-bird passed him. Come with me to see the world, said the canary. I have no time, replied the bird, I am too busy feeding my young. A woodpecker passed him. Come with me to see the world, said the canary. I have no time, was the reply, I am too busy building me a home. And he fiew away. A hawk passed him. Let me go with you to see the world, begged the canary. The hawk started to fly on. Please let me go with you, pleaded the canary. You are such a grand fel- low, you are very well educated, I am sure, and you would make my journey verywinterestingf' I know I am a grand fellow, replied the hawk 5 I have many friends. The canary and the hawk flew off together. That afternoon the hawk told the the canary to wait in a tree while he went to a barn-yard to catch a chicken. The canary did not think a bird that would do this would have many friends. But, he said, he is such a grand fellow, per- haps people don't care for his catching their fowls. But this thought was soon forgotten, for the farmer came out and aimed a gun at the hawk. The hawk flew away, leaving the canary alone and helpless, for he did not know how to make his journey through the world. I have seen enough of the world, he said. That evening he was again in his cage, singing joyously. L.

When 'fHard Times had become most acute in 1893, when Almighty Dollar was skulking in his strong box, a delegation of Stein-Bloch salesmen called upon Nathan Stein, founder and upholder of this house. '4The public cannot afford to pay the prices asked for the clothes we are turning out, they1said,to him. t'The only way to keep this business going is to make clothes that cost ess. Nathan Stein listened patiently. When the salesmen had Finished, he sprang to his feet and fairly shouted the words quoted in the heading above. The meeting stood adjourned. Some years later, when manipulation of cotton in clothes fabrics had become a fine art, and when it was difficult to obtain absolutely all-wool cloths that could be put in popular-priced suits and overcoats, this same Nathan Stein was importuned to lower his all-wool standard in order to meet competition. 'That isn't competition, he declared, Hthatls plain stealing. I won't talk about it. Good day. These two incidents show how straight the Stein-Bloch trail has been through all the years-how straight it is to-day-how straight it will continue to be. And they show why it is that Clothes made by this house are character Clothes. 32000, 825.00 F R A li E 9 Formerly New Phoenix 83000, 835.00 Clothing C0. OKMULGEE, OKLA.
