E ,is A- x. 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

3 l Caught in an informal pose on the front campus are the junior class officers for the current school year, Albert Pierce is the secretary-treasurer, Douglas Lott is vicee- president, and Derald Lebow is the president JU l0R- E IOR BA QUET There is a certain thrill from being 9, junior in high school that never comes again. 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
