H. S. we started out much the same as any other. We came up, small and scared, mostly scared, to face that whole maze of rooms, teachers, and other students. The only things that cluttered up our little minds were grades, grades, and more grades. Our little eighth grade class had an election. Dick Bailey was elected presi- dent, C. F. Bryant, now in the Navy. vice-presldentg Barbara Burns, secretary, and Shirley Anne Routt, treasurer. Of course. they dldn't do much of anything, but at least we had officers. We started to give an opcretta, the one the eighth grade gave this year, only we didn't have enough good voices. During the seventh and eighth grades we had the largest honor roll in school. The. ninth grade was really a big year for us, as well as for the school as a whole. Our football team was state champion, the band walked off with all the honors at the different music meets. We had several of our class in the band: Ralph Beene, Kenneth Biggins, John Hutchinson, Kenneth Shouse, and Dick Bodenhamer. Warming the bench for the Bulldogs were Bill QCasanovaJ McLeod, Jack tSteam--Rollery Kyle, Pat tlrarmerj Mc-- Larty, Harley QOriginal Hard Luck Kidb Harris, Sam fLemJ Frevert, and Kenneth tRed Grange, Jr., Biggins. We did O. K. in the field of the Drama, too. Besides the plays which Miss 0rr's advisory gave every year, some of the students who were in Miss Rone's public-speaking classes had the honor of being in contest plays. Rae Ann Col- chensky went to the Semi-Finals in the Dramatic Reading Contest. Something of the greatest importance happened this year to dear of 0. H. S. A student council was started once again with Walter Maupin as President. This brings us up to the time we became Sophomores, The Sophomore class, rather one of its members, became an object of curiosity. What was that little blonde thing dashing around the halls? Animal, vegetable, or mineralQno, only half-pint Carolyn Gannon, who made an instant hit with the whole school. Band Soloists were Kenneth Shouse, Ralph Beene. John Hutchinson. Alice Ann Ramsey and Carolyn Richardson won First and Second respectively in the art contest at Stillwater. At Commencement Alice Badger did us up proud, for she won the Latin Award given to the student who had shown the most interest and progress in two years of Latin. The year we became Juniors really made us feel up in the world. As class officers we had Harley Harris, president: Carolyn Gannon, vice-presidentg and Bill McLeod, secretary. The Junior Play, Midnight , starr- ing Mary Virginia Haley, Jane Harris, Harley Harris, Carolyn Gannon, Sam Frevert, Jack Kyle, Shelby Gibbs, Bar- bara Burns, John Hutchinson, Nadine Rose, Bill McLeod, Dorothy Anne Wise- ner, and Carl Boatman, was the biggest success yet to be seen at 0. H. S. The play was given December 5, 1941. During the next two days the life of every student was changed. We were at war! It was strange to sec the intent expression on the faces of everyone at school. Everyone was talking about Pearl Harbor and the two Okmulgee boys who lost their lives in that tragedy. War was a pretty serious business, realizing the student council started the promotion of War Stamps and Bonds. However, you can't keep good people down, so we were soon at the cheerful task of planning a super Junior-Senior Banquet. We were determined to give the Seniors a banquet they would not for- get. It was a beautiful banquet if we say so, and we do, VVith Maytime as the thenve, Carolyn Gannon as May Queen, Bar- bara Burns, Molly McCoy, Dorothy Anne Vvisener, Dixie Powers, Mary Jo Good, and Betty Musgrave as attendants, and Harley Harris as master of Ceremonies, everyone was duly impressed by the amount of beauty in the Junior Class. To top it all off, Bill Frey and Eleanor Chase sang Maytime with background of music provided by six junior girls. Then all those present sang Memories of O. H. S. written to the tune of White Cliffs of Dover by Shirley Ann ltoutt. At Commencement Carrol Tarvin won the standard oration award. Alice Badg- er won the American History award, and Nil Kcnan received honorable mention. Nil also won the award for the best grades of the year, and the Clean-up Drive award for the best theme on that subject. We received the Torch of Learning and thus ended our fifth year of high school. Although they started our football Season late and with a new coach, one Bulldog made all-state. Our hero was Pat Mcluarty, tackle. Football players receiving football jackets were Jack Kyle, Kenneth Biggins, Bill McLeod, Harley Harris, Dick Bodenhamer, Sam Frevert 'Pat McLarty, Arthur Holleman, and Roy- ' .' continued to page 34 C0111 yn nn funn out S!VjLlkOI' .lost-ph A.

The people are, left to right, Alvin VViggs, Shirley Ann Routt, Ruth Ruzza, Mary Virginia Every child that read nursery rhymes and enjoyed them loved Mother Goose very much, for lf-gt-nd has it that sho is the one who wrote them. Tlut all the citizens of' Okniulgee loved William David- son cv:-n more March 19, because that was tho date when his play, Brother Goose, was presented in thc high school audi- torium. Brother Goose, a comedy in thrcc acts was this year's senior play. It concerned tho life of a slightly cockeycd family, the Adams, Jeff, better know in OI-IS as Alvin Wiggs, was Broth'-r Goose. a, young arch- itect, whose profession was slightly hind- ered by the fact that he had to be house- keeper, seamstrcs, and general cook and bottle washer for his flock, composed of Carol, -VVcs, and Hy. Virginia Brooks and Thelma Kitchen were Carol, the teen agc girl who just loved to cntcr contests. John Hutchinson and Delbert Liles were Wes, always wild about some girl, and Rae Ann Colchensky and Carolyn Gannon both completely stole tho heart of the audience away as Hy, a tomboy who loved to play football with the Palace of Sweet's Saber Tooth Tigers. Life in the Adams family was just one continual uproar. Helen, Ruth Buzza and Nadine Rose, was only one of a long 24 Haley, Rae Ann Colchensky, Billy Jean Riley, Murray Garnorf Virginia Brooks, Joan Ros'-berry, Phyllis Kay Robinson, and Delbt-rt Liles. But, as anyone can tell you that saw the play ,thcy certainly tlidn't act a nice, old fashioned family. line of maids that quit, but when Peggy, played by Reba Vassaur and Shirley Anne Routt, appeared on the scene selling hosi- ery, the audience knew that she Was de- stined to become the Adams permanent housekeeper. However when Lenore, Nu Kvnan :mil Phyllis Kay Robinson a snooty millionairvssi-s, saw Peggy, she doubled her cforts to win Jeff for herself, whether by fair inf-ans or foul. Mrs, 'Frimmr-r, Dorothy Anne Wise- ner and Billy Jean Riley, builder of Wee Blue Inns, wanted to have Jeff build her next Inn for her, but Lenore had other plans, Eve Mason Patsy Sue Rebold and Jean Rosebcrry and her colored maid, Sarah, Mary Virginia Haley arrived to help with n football party at the start of the hilarious second act. whose climax was football scene that still makes peole laugh to think about. When an angry truck dirver, Murray Garner, arrived to tell them that Hy has prevented him from starting work on Lenore's house, Hy left, pushing Lenore into a chair of poison ivy! All ended well, with everyone getting what they wanted, except Lenore, who had poison ivy, and Hy, who didn't get to be captain of her football team, but Hy was just discovered Stuffy as her true man when the curtain closed. .IS BIG SUCESS Filled with laughs all the way through Brother Goose was a success from the start to finish.B0th performances played to pack ed houses, and the night performance sold two more tickets that were sold to Mid- night last year. But, like any play, it could not have been a success with out the aid and cooperation of a tes-lmif-al staff. Harry Baxted, stage manager, David Frakcs and Murray Garner, stage crew. Patricia Ke- bold and Billie Jean Riley, Properties, and Rae Ann Colehensky and Nadine Rose, book holders, all worked together to make the outside production FUII smooth- ly. Then the ticket takers, Ralph Bcene, Dick Bodenhamer, Lee Manley Brown, Ben Harned, Burton Mann, Don McAdams, OF 1943 CLASS. Kenneth Shouse, and Carol Tarvin, and the ushers, Barbara Burns, Eleanor Jean Clement. Ruth Cross, Mary Frances Dooley Burniece Jantzen, Mary Pitts, Geneva Robinson, and Evelyn Shelton also halped to get the audience in and seated as quickly as possible. The play was directed by Miss Sarah Kate VVood, a senior sponsors. The other lensors are Miss Martha. Dillman, Miss Norma Dunlap, Mr. Henry Foth, Mrs. Myrtle Thonison, and Mr. I.. L. Wright. After the play the entire cast, senior sponsors, and anyone that wished to come were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Wlggs who grave a party in the Parkinson Hote Ballrooni. The money that the play earn- ed bought a school flag and the remaind- er was invested in War Bonds. i Mm Although the scenes pictured here of the annual senior play, Brother Goose may seem rather confusing, you must take into consideration that there are two different casts of characters fhown. Also, as anyone who saw the play can tell you, it really was a wee bit 'confoosing' but certainly 'ammosingf M Q td L.

The juniors were right in with the good neighbor policy because the theme of the banquet was A Mexican Fiesta . The annual Junior-senior affair was complete from the colorful decorations to the south of the border program. The job they had started in November was well done. After the invocation by Mr. Boatman, Bill Ridgeway, junior president, extended a Bienvenido fwelcomey to the juniors.: This was answered by a Muchas Gracias from the senior president, Carolyn Gan- non.
