Indians lived here, unmolested exccpt for an occasional white exploring par- W. Legends of our country say that once Vkfashington Irving was on such an exploring party. When night came on. the scouts selected a spot for a camp, and on that spot today stands Okmulgee high school, erstwhile Washington Irving high. Though there is no proof of his presence, this folk- lore is believed by many authorities on his life. When Oklahoma became open for settlement, white people moved in to take their place beside the red. At the turn of the century, need was felt for better facilities for this rising town, capitol ot' the Creek Indian nation. Jacob Bozarth, a city pioneer, in 1901 offered a block of land to the city for educational purposes. A one-room frame building served as the first school. As the town grew, a two-story brick building replaced the original one, But even this was soon outgrown, In 1915, the original cost being 597,- 100, the present academic building was constructed. The high school had been inadequately situated in the old Lee high school, now used for junior college purposes. Back all the classes moved to the old lot. A short five years elapsed: Ameri- ca was in and out of the warp pro- hibition was passed, prosperity was coming, Okmulgee was growing rich in oily our population increased rapid- ly in the 'teen period. The vocational building with all its fine eouipnwnt was built at a cost of 5256175 in 1920, Offices, library, cafeteria, and 3, few clasrooms were built between the two buildings in 1927 for an additional S107,255, Dealing in figures, this makes an initial investment on the block at S460,530. A truly staggering total! The Indians no longer roam the plains: the frontiers are gone. But as normal Americans we may look back upon our school's romantic history and be proud of the progress and mo df-rn ideals that have characterized it through four decades. DEDICATIIL Six years of our lives have passed. Six short yours, full of study, learn- ing of new things, and wonderment at this world in which we live, Though wi- may live long, we shall novvr for- got thi-su years of our high school, and its mm-morios will vndurg- 'til We die.

LDON HU'I'CHINSON+Clerk of the School Board, Business mgr. CLASSIH TOR 0F Qby George Milnerj The class of 1941 has always been an illustrious one. From the time we first entered the halls of Ol-iS we were arbitrarily given the distinction of be- ing the most stupid CILLSS in the his- tory of the schoolg and after the llist few days of bewildei-ment we LLSSIQI- uously set about meriting that distlne.. tion. We frittered away our time, dashing about the halls toppling lofty juniors and seniors from their uig- nity, skipping consultations, and in general driving our instructors to dis- traction. But, then, one day in tile eighth grade, there came a hint of dramatic successes to come. The eighth grade operetta, 1-lansel and Gretelj' with George Lee and Melva Jean White and Edgar Boatman and Ru- dene Friddle in the stellar roles com- pletely astounued the faculty and ut- terly disproved the dire prediction that there would be no graduation in 12441. .l-lowever, it 'was not until we wire fresillllen and looked upon the lowly seventh and eighth graders in scorn that we realized that ours was not to reason why, but to live and learn. lt has been said that more than one teacher has had a nervous breakdown while trying to discover the underly- ing reason for this complete meta- lnorphosis. I would here like to take the time to discuss this strange phen- omenon, member but alas, even I who ama of this august graduating class am at a complete loss of words. Frankly, I know not the reason. Let it suffice to say, though, that as fresh.. men we studied, We even had one of the largest honor rolls in the recent history of OHS. At last came summer, and in the page ten :D ff 1941 fall we returned to further astonish the incredulous school board by re- peating the success of the previous year. XVe rose high above our some- what insignificant beginning, and as We rose, hopes again soared that there would be a junior-senior banquet in 1940. ou, miracle of miracles, we did not disappoint our wellwishers. Across the sky flashed the most brilliant drama- tic production in the annals of OHS. The Late Christopher Bean, the un- forgettable story of a lovable servantfs undying devotion to a poor painter, with Patsy Cole and George Milner in the leading roles. A few weeks fol- lowing the play the high school cafe- teria was transformed into a. lustrous, spectacularly lighted rainbow for the annual junior-senior banquet. And lat- er, when we received the torch from the graduating seniors at commence- ment, we knew that we were not just students, but rather part of a glorious tradition which was our duty and pri- vilt ge to continue. Against the terrific odds of an epi- demic of influenza we starred Carme- lita Trammell and Alfred Disiere in Seventeen, repeating our previous successes, Hansel and Gretel and The Late Christopher Bean. We have worked hard this last year, both happily and a little sadly, for most of us are to leave OHS for the last time, Our six years at Okmulgee high school are nearly completed. It is with regret that we leave our work and our pleasures hereg yet we are eagerly awaiting the future, to carry out our theories with the energy, enthusiasm, and originality characteristic always of the class of 1941. page Glovon J, R.

V z The honor of being senior class officers fell to 'Fed Hurst, vice-president, Crystal Nay, secretary-treasurer, and Guy Steele, presi- dent. IOR WI D--UP Likened unto a victorious athletic team the members of which have co- operated in an attempt to win, is the class of '4l. Its students working to gain the essentials of education and a foundation for future life have been striving always to make their class significant in the history of Okmulgee high school. Since its organization six years ago, this group has produced several stu- dents outstanding in scholastic as well as in athletic fields. The class of '41 is admired for its fighting spirit, always forging ahead to achieve and to surpass goals set by its predecessors. Under the splendid leadership of our class officers, Guy Steele, president: Ted Hurst, Vice-pre- sident, and Crystal Nay, secretary- treasurer, we have gone further along' the road to success. As a group We all owe Misses Finklea, Allensworth, and Ingram, Mr. Brady, and Mr. Farris a great deal of thanks for their un- tiring efforts in our behalf. This outstanding class naturally wished to leave a memorial to the school of which they could be proud. The senior play Seventeen was pre- sented on December 13. In spite of a flu epidemic, there was a very nice audience, and the seniors were proud of this fine dramatic production. Miss Jewell Rone, public speaking teacher, coached the play to its perfection. The proceeds from the play were counted, and great ,debate was held on the subject of what to leave their alma mater. Near the end of the year a vote was taken, culminating in the selection of a very fine beaded movie screen. It was arranged so that an in- scription to the class of '41 will be flashed on the screen each time that it Ccontinued on page 332 .gg g ,A , 'iii N S sg ,Q I Cast of 'Seventeen' WILLIE BA X'l'I'IIi , ..---------..---- A l,I IilCD DISIERIC 3II,I.IlC LOU SIMMONS JANIC l4AX'l'l'IIi ..............

The crop of juniors in Okmulgee high school seemed to have more energy, and more enthusiasm than has been demonstrated for a long time, The excitment of being impor- tant in the affairs of our school Was an impetus to their already glowing run of achievements. The headline event of their year's activities was the splendid play, The Youngest. Featuring 9, double cast, the audience were enthralled and a large amount of money was taken in. The climax of the year's activities always is the junior-senior banquet. Though we may not tell of it in detail, for the seniors are supposed to be kept in the dark, we know that it will be a night of fun and frolic for everyone, Exotic, tropical scenery will be the background, and soft lights, music. good food, and amusing speeches will all be a part of the program. It isn't easy to be a junior, for the very name itself implies hard work to have attained this rank. Activities seem to increase in proportion to the hardness of studies. Okmulgee is proud of her up-and-coming juniors, and wish them the best of success during 'heir senior year. page twenty-nine .IU IOR PLAY CA T PA 'I' O I ,IVIC I1 MRS, NVINSI .ONV ...... .------4--- ---v- O I .I VICR XVI NSLONV IJIXIIC I'I'IiVINI'I KI'INNI'I'l'I-I l'I.INI'I J ICRRY ,DA VIS IJOIIGLAS I,lJ'I'T MARK VVINSLOW ..... .........M-..

They parliamentarian, and John Callahan, pre are left to right, John Boydston, vice-presi- dent, STUDENT COUNCIL The 1940-41 student council got off to an early start in the fall of October, 1940. Following a blazing campaign in which five capable senior boys were nominated to run, John Callahan was elected by the student body as the president of the student body. The council was first organized in 1922, but in recent years had been terminated, Student government was revived in 1939 under Walter Maupin, the student president. The council is composed of a. representative from each advisory group at OHS from the tenth grade to twelfth and two stu- dents from each grade in junior high. The purpose of the council is to foster and advance all school activities and interests of high school in general and above all to promote school spirit. Under the direction of the student council several new programs were adopted this year at OHS. A flag bear- ing ceremony was installed at the be- ginning of each assembly. The mem- bers of the council also undertook to promote a hand book to be presented to new pupils entering OHS. The coun- cil takes up all problems presented by students and decides upon the best course to be followed for the benefit of the school. Officers of this year's student coun- cil were John Boydston, vice-presi- dentg secretary, Vera Mann, parlia- mentarian, Derald Lebow. Miss Norma Dunlap was sponsor of the student council. page thirty-four page thirty-five ,CI +3 Q2 1: :: GJ 524 J z: cd S- U E O L Cd III L: QI Cd .-.
