The eighth grade chorus had that splendid musical All Aboardn under the direction of Miss Mary Lou Finley. We were glad when Mr. Mac fthe little man with the projection machir1eJ returned from the Army.

The play, a story of growing up, is centered around Angie Morrow fMarlene Rathbun and Marilyn Sheltonj, who, although she is seventeen, has never had a date. Jack Duluth iJim Condreyl, the balcer's son, asks her for a date at the beginning of her seventeenth summer. Angie is very thrilled and would have spent a wonderful summer with Jack had it not been for her two so- called friends, Jane fKathyrn I-1ightowerJ and Margie fShirley Jamesj. When Margie and Jane innocently cause a misunderstanding between Angie and Jack about Tony fReginald Acree and Fred Spons- lerl, a wolf, Angie ends up going to the big country club dance with Tony, Jack goes with Jane, which is just what she wanted, and Margie goes with the ever-faithful Fitz fBarth Braclcenl. Angie is broken-hearted because she and Jack no longer see each other and she finds it easier to talk to her sister Lorraine fClare Ru Mueller and Janice Lockej about Martin Keefe fwendell Covingtonl, who dated Lor- raine all summer and then tool: some other girl to the big country club dance. Angie also finds it easier to talk to Mar- garet KJoyce Baker and Pat Allisonj, who is engaged to Art fJim Locker and Bob Eneffj. They told about growing up, falling in love, and what they planned to do with their lives. Angie prepares to go away to college, hoping that she will see Jack again before she leaves. Her mother, fDoris Colemanl tells Angie that, after all, seventeen isn't so very old and she must not lose sight of the goals set for herself-her life aims. Much comedy is furnished by blustering, good-hearted Mr. Morrow fJohn Capshawl and Angieis mischievous youngster sister Kitty fJanis Dieman and Iva Ellen Sheltonl. When Angie is waiting to be taken to the train, Jack comes to say goodbye. The mis- understanding is cleared up and Jack pro- poses to Angie. Angie takes her Mother's advice and tells him that seventeen isn't so very old and that they both have responsibil- ities to their families and to themselves. They will wait for each other. The wonderful Seventeenth Summer is over, and Angie has grown up. Senior Play was directed by Miss Sarah Kate Wood and the Student Director was Betty Jean Hinderliter. Freda Wood had charge of properties, Jean Douglass, sound effects, David Baker, curtain, Ralph Barber, lights. Ushers were: Sue deSteiguer, Nannette De- Vinna, Patsy Gorham, Patsy Kane, Julia Megill, Louise Noble, Margene Stabler, and Jo Ann Smith. Doormen were: Edward Coverdill, Bob King, Karl Miller, Clarkson Russell, N. C. Thomas, and Jimmie Winchester. KContinued on Page 621 Page nineteen Juoio We, as juniors, were to play a more im- portant part in school activities than we had ever done before. This fact was first impressed upon us when we met to elect class officers. We chose as president, Kenneth Tdsardi, vice president, Loyce Anne Smith, and secretary, Jerry Ann Forister. We realized that the officers we chose must be able to do a big job. Our sponsors, who worked with us in pre- senting our play and the junior-senior ban- quet, deserve a great deal more in the way of glory than the flowers which we sent them at the time of the play. We thank them heartily for their splendid cooperation. They are, Miss Lillian Brasher, chairman, Mr. Keith Benson, Miss Charline Lamons, Mrs. Jessie Martinsen, Mr. Laurence Becker, and Mr. A1 Paolucci. The council of juniors, who were elected to represent us and make decisions for us, is made up of Nola Arnold, Philip Kennedy, Clinton Cutsinger, J'ohn Nelson, Yvonne Rayl, Dolores Easom and Carolyn Dutton. Twelve of us were in the annual junior play, Star Light, Star Brightf, a comedy about teen-agers. Many more of us worked on the scenery, advertising, posters, ticket Page twenty Work for Tomorrow Uffioors KENNETH IDSARDI Prerident LOYCE ANNE SMITH Vice-Prerident JERRY ANN FORISTER Secretary Sponsors LILLIAN BRASHER C lmirman LAURENCE BECKER KEITH BENSON CHARLINE LAMONS JESSIE MARTINSEN AL PAOLUCC1 sales, reserve board, and as stage crew or extras. The success of the play, so dependent upon the efforts of our sponsors and of Miss Sarah Kate Wood, the director, was not any greater than the enjoyment we had in preparing it. Juniors who entered the finals of the an- nual intramural speech contests were: Kathryn Mason, who wrote an essay, Loyce Ann Smith, who gave a dramatic reading, jerry Ann Forister, original oration, and Joe Forbes, with a standard oration. Students having four B's or better make up the quarterly honor roll. Phil Arnold, Robert Cox, Jerry Ann Forister, Ida Frazee, Mary Lou Greene, Nancy Peavler, and Yvonne Rayl, juniors, have been on the honor roll three times this year. Six other juniors have been on the honor roll twice, and five others have been included on it once. Our Council decided that we would order the same type senior rings as former classes have ordered, and we ordered them this spring, so that they will arrive by next fall, instead of next winter.

Light, Star Bigj' Star Light, Star Bright a comedy about teen-age life in three acts was the Junior play presented Friday, December 9 at 8 o'clock in the High School Auditorium. Miss Sarah Kate Wood was the director and her student director was Juanita Rose. Tryouts were held Nov. 7-9 and nightly rehearsals began Nov. 10. A Senior class ring desired by vivacious Sue Townsend, Loyce Anne Smith, and in the possession of a certain reluctant Chuck Lindley, Joe Forbes and Bob Morris, is the main event in the play. Sue, with her bratty, 15 year old brother, Buzz, Phil Arnold and Bob Campbell, and their friends have invaded the study of their tender, but sometimes irate father, Jim Townsend, played by Robert Cox. Mr. Townsend, assisted by studious Gordon Hale, John Nelson, is working on an Eliza- bethan novel. However he has completed a rather libelous novel about his female pub- lisher, Nelle Macon, who is currently trying to persuade Jim to edit a dictionary for her. Nelle is a super-sophisticate whose daugh- ter, Lucy, Carolyn Dutton, is in a girls' school. During one of Nelle's brief, but harassing visits she remarks that she will have to break the date she had with Lucy to see a business associate. Sympathetic Mrs. Townsend, Jerry Ann Forister, tells Nelle to let Lucy stay over the week-end with them. Page twenty-.fix When Sue, who is busy completing plans for her sixteenth birthday dance, learns that a girl from New York will be a guest at her party, she is horrified. Sueis best friend, boisterous Jenny Clayton, Patty Thompson, suggests that Lucy will be smooth and have a line a mile long, and things look dark in- deed to the girls. Buzz is definitely against this Mlove stuffi' because he believes his parents are consider- ing a divorce and warns Chuck repeatedly not to take his sister seriously. Every time Sue has Chuck sold on the idea of falling in love fit wasn't difficultj Buzz appears to pour cold water on the whole thing. Not quite as subtle as Sue, Jenny is working on Buzz, but her efforts seem futile. Much to the surprise of all concerned, Lucy turns out to be about as interesting as yester- dayis salad. Lucy is shy, plain, and very self- conscious. Good-hearted Sue plays the fairy god-mother and after a round or two with a comb and brush, a little make-up and appro- priate clothes, Lucy is, as Jenny aptly phrased it, 'tdreamyf' Naturally Chuck falls for her on the first bounce. Mr. Townsend has worries of his own, financially, that is, but he refuses to sign Nelle's dictionary contract until he gets the final refusal on his book. Sue, Jenny, and Lucy are all lovely on fC01ztinuezi on Page 66j lluuntil Helps Unily Stlmnl School Spirit was the most prominent project of the 1949-50 Student Council. The council felt the need for unity and com- panionship between every group at Okmul- gee High School. President Russell Jones and the representatives went to work and did something about it. The representatives agreed that for a complete and well rounded school, OHS should have an alma mater. An alma mater has been one of the topics each year since perhaps the beginning of the council. Until this year, however, it remained to be a prob- lem for the following year. President Jones and Choral Club director Miss Mary Lou Finley, with the assistance of Principal C. C. Warriner and vice-president Jim Condrey, left to the school this year a finished alma mater for Olcmulgee students to learn and enjoy. Words for the alma mater were written by Betty Burruss, a graduate of 1947. The lyrics were tried with several songs without success. Finally Miss Finley wrote a tune to go with the words. The alma mater was first presented to the public in the OHS annual Choral Club con- cert held May 19. It will be the responsibility of each student to learn the words when he enters high school. Representatives from the thirty-three ad- visories discuss projects promoted by the council. They ask for opinions from mem- bers in their own group to report to the council. Many discussions have been held in the classroom to determine the outlook of the student body as a whole voted on by the organization. The council was in charge nation of the football queen in the fall. The each student before being of the coro- candidates were nominated by above the ninth grade. The three senior girls receiving the highest number of votes were eligible for the honor of running for queen, 'Back to school night was conducted this year by the council. Representatives from each advisory were stationed near their re- spective classrooms to aid visitors unfamiliar with the building in finding various rooms. Basketball pencils were sold by the council to boost the cager team. The pencils had a schedule of each Bulldog game printed on them. They were sold in advisories and also in the pencil vending machine near the main office. A scrap bool: was begun by the 1949-50 council to be used this year and many years to follow. The scrap book will contain the activities of each yearis student council. Okmulgee day at KHBG was led by the student organization. The day was granted to OHS by Mr. Harold E. King, KHBG manager. Students announced, sold adver- tisements, and wrote copy for commercials for the high school day. At the time of publication of the annual Torchlight, the council was discussing an amendment to change the procedure of electing representatives for the council. Presi- dent Jones said, 'ilt is worthwhile in producing a better student council next year and for preceding years. If discussion is carried on about this amendment as it has been in other discussions, then something will be put in the constitution to make our student council betterf, The Student Council President and Vice- President are elected in the spring by the entire student body. In order for a student to qualify for entering the election, he must have all grades above MCU, and a petition signed by one hundred students. An assembly is held to give the candidates an opportunity to express their thoughts and plans for the council if elected. Voting is by secret ballot with everyone eligible to vote, except the graduating seniors, after fC0ntinued on Page 601 Page twenty-ye1fe12 UHS Hand Un Parade 1 This school term proved to be a big year for OHS Senior high band.

Each member brought a toy to give to the Salvation Army for unfortunate chil- dren of Olcmulgee. Page thirty-four FTA members received first hand experi- ence in their choice of vocation.

The honor was the highest ever attained by an Okmulgee basketball team and it proved a fitting honor for the Bulldog Coach Leland Doc Milroy. The Bulldogs won 19 games during the season and lost only seven. The always tough Oklahoma 6 basketball conference was tougher than usual with three of seven teams making the state tournament at Oklahoma City. The Bulldogs also won the Regional title at Muskogee and finished third in the con- ference race behind Tulsa's Central and Will Rogers high schools. Members of the squad who played some- time during the season were Ed Johnson, Bill Noble, Harold Higdon, Everett Rea, Frank Whittaker, Jerry Smith, Bob Brown, Gordon Eaton, John Been, John Boyd, Melvin Red- dick, J. C. Tipton, Carl Provence, Kenn Mann. Okmulgee opened the basketball season against Bristow and returned home with a 41-26 victory. They then lost to I-loldenville 30-25, beat Bristow 34-23, beat I-loldenville 46-43. Then the Bulldogs entered a cage tourna- ment at Tulsa and whipped the Tulsa Web- ster Warriors 47-36 before losing to Central 44-35. Canines opened their conference season with a 30-20 triumph over Sapulpa. Muskogee and Bartlesville were the next two teams to Page forty-two se. L fall before the Okmulgeeans by scores of 40-28 and 41-28. Tulsa Central ended the win streak 51-35 but the Canines bounced back to whip Web- ster 26-25 and Sapulpa Chiefs 34-33. Tulsa Rogers and Tulsa Central then handed Okmulgee a pair of losses 51-29.and 49-41. The Canines then retired from the con- ference for a while to whip Henryetta, an- other team which made the Oklahoma City playoffs, twice on scores of 28-20 and 34-33. Returning to the conference scene, the Bull- dogs blasted Tulsa Rogers 57-51 to knock them into a first place tie for the title. Mus- kogee fell 36-29 and Bartlesville bowed 40-26 to the rampaging Bulldogs. Okmulgee then ended the season dropping a 45-35 thriller to Tulsa Webster. Entering the Regional Tournament at Mus- kogee, the Bulldogs were favored for the first time ever. The Milroymen proved to be the drawing card and crowd favorite as they ran up scores of 56-25 over Poteau, 50-31 over Checotah and 40-32 against Muskogee in the finals of the tourney copping the title hands down. A special assembly was presented by the high school students to send the squad off to the State Tourney at Oklahoma City where three other season opponents were also en- tered. The other quintets were Henryetta in non-conference and Tulsa Central, Bartles- ville in the 6-A or Oklahoma 6 circuit. At the state meet, the Bulldogs survived two close games before losing to the state champion O C Classen in the finals.

Harold Page forty-three Basketball Takes Spotlight CAGERS STATE FINALISTS fC0ntim4ed from Page 421 In their first game, the Bulldogs were rated as a toss-up with El Reno. Although the ex- perts picked Classen to finish first in the state, many were believers that the winner of the Okmulgee-El Reno classic would be top team. The game was a close one with Jerry Smith coming through with a field goal in the last five seconds for Okmulgee to win 36-34. The second game was against Bartlesville, the team which had upset Tulsa Central the night before. It too was a close game and this time it was Bill Noble who came through for Okmulgee, sinking two free shots in suc- cession with less than five seconds left to win. The Bulldogs fought hard in the finals but were overpowered by the height of O C Classen. The final score 39-48. David Basford and Larry Allen were stud- ent managers of the Cage team. Bill Noble, team captain, was chosen to the All-State Squad. Everett Rea was named al- ternate and Ed Johnson, the only Junior starter, was picked on the All-Tournament team. Okmulgee's B team also enjoyed a fairly successful basketball season, winning seven games and losing only five. The B's were coached by Verne D. Harris. Team members were Curt Simmons, Johnny Dahl, James Asher, Charles Costner, Wadell Griffin, Red Greaves, George Hunter, Lamar Berry, Jim Bell, Buddy Baker, Jim Kirk and Clyde Howe. Coach Paul Alley's Junior High squad missed repeating their 1949 Little Five Con- ference winning performance by a single point losing to Henryetta 26-25 after beating them 45 points in their first meeting. Page forty-fam' The Bullpups racked up seven wins during the season and lost only three games. Squad members were Bill Glass, David Smith, Joe Peavler, Nelson Wheeler, Berry Skinner, Monte Thompson, Roy Hamon, Phil Harris, Dick Harris, Randolph Karty, Benny Scott, Galen Turner, David Rowden, Don Cox, Bill Nantz.

First, Sue kisses Gordon to make Chuck jealous, which makes him fall for her. Chuck, who is now on the rebound, really goes after Lucy and Sue finds him kissing Lucy, and, to top it off, he gives his ring to her. But Lucy has her eye on Gordon, and Jenny is lost in the shuffle. Buzz is as unconcerned as can be. Blundering Lucy gives Mr. Townsend's book about her mother to Nelle, who is out- raged by the scurrilous manuscript. After her threats to Sue have cooled down, she realizes that the book is good and will sell. The romances are straightened out. Sue gets Chuck's ring, Gordon and Lucy find that they have a lot in common, and wonder of wonders, Buzz has a change of heart when he learns that his parents are as much in love as ever and a romance blossoms between him and Jenny. Things work out beautifully as they always do in a play. Mr. Townsend won't go bank- rupt, Lucy is no longer the ugly duckling, and Sue has Chuck's ring. To make the day complete, Mr. Townsend gives his study to Sue and the gang for a rumpus room.
