D. Kirkland by dedicating the 1953 Treasure Chest to him. Mr. Kirkland is finishing his third year as superintendent here. He came to Putnam City High School the same year our 1953 Senior class entered its halls and he has been an inspiration to them and to the other students by his continuous efforts to improve our school. Some of the accomplishments since his arrival are: Our school has been admitted to the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Collegesg A new junior high school has been erect- ed and plans are now underway to modernize the Arnett building and a new eight room addition is to be added to the primarv buildingg the cafeteria is to be enlarged and agriculture is to be added to our curriculumg much additional ground has been added to our school. Mr. Kirkland has brought to us a deep' background of school administration. He has served as president of the Oklahoma Education Association, president of the State School Administrators, and president of Teachers Retirement Board for four years. He is a tireless worker for our school. It is with many wishes to him for continued success that we dedicate this annual. Here Mr. D. D. Kirkland and Fred Hitzer are meeting for the first time in the Superintendenfs e office. What will an American school be like? Will the kids accept me? A million questions like these must have been in Freddie's mind when he was walking into our school for the first time. -..tv g, ,e'.- I K1-..,,,kJ.:, u -X , , . -1-me -G Qonfen fs if sf Qfwukdv ' Qffylm f.xmv?MI Pictured here are the members of our school board with the Superintendent Mr. D.

He has A.B. and M.Ed. degrees. 4-fzalmzfn fair a..ii'0rv Dear Seniors: May I take this opportunity to say for you what I believe many of you are thinking? I am referring to the experience that has been provided for all of us by having had on our campus this year a student from another country. I know that you are thinking that the experience has been pleasant for us since we welcomed this friendly lad to our school in Sep- tember. He has won a place in all our hearts by his willingness to participate in our activities, to do things, that on many occasions must have seemed odd to his way of life. He has certainly kept up his end of the bargain by his work, attitude, and co- operation in the classroom. As the time comes for him to leave our halls and classrooms Cas it also comes for you, dear Seniorsl, may we wish him God Speed in his journey. May we also hope that he takes as good an impression of us to his country as he has left with us. Yes, Seniors, in years to come you may say I graduated from Putnam City High School in 1953, the year we had Fredrick Hitzer, the German boy with us, you know. t year w pra i.ce ter- national Democracy. C Mrs. Marjorie Hubbard is Mr. Klrkland's secretary and has been here three years also. She is a grad- uate from Southeasterr College and has a B.S degree. Mrs. Erllne Sedberry, has been Mr. Mayf1eld's secre tary for only one year, but everyone has learned to ap- preclate her. She attended Baylor University at Waco. Texas .and Central City Commercial College. .-Y Q. ' Mr. Leo C. Ma field has been principalat Putnam City High School foiy six years. Hereceived his A.B. at North- eastern State College, and, his M.Ed. at O.U. Mr.. May- field also did graduate work at the University of Southern California. ANNUAL STAFF Editor ,....,....

Will you open the typing room door for me?,' and many other such questions are faced by these two very nice gentlemen, Henry Martin and George McMinn, our custodians, who besides their routine duties of keeping the school neat and doing a few repairs do favors for any of us if we ask anything of them. was A skinned knee. or a cut finger is nothing to Mrs. Ettie Van Horn, the school nurse. She is a very patient and ei- ficient person as you have to be when you deal with as many chil- dren a day as she does. There once was a boy from a land far away Who came to America for a year to stay And study at Putnam to learn what he could About people and places both bad and good. He wrote back to Germany to a very dear friend , Of people he'd met and places he d been, He wrote about studies and teachers and sports, Of clubs and societies and things of all sorts. He told his Mother and two sisters over there. About all the great fun he had had at theifair. And when he became secretary of our senior class He wrote back and told them it was too good to last. Tobyou who can't guess who this person might e He's FREIDRICH HITZER from Ulm, Germany, Who arrived in New York one July 31st Planning to stay for better or worse. For world peace he's striving in every known way And now he's the head of our school's I.U.A. Yes many nice things have come to this boy. His father ,a merchant, claims he's his pride and joy. Seriously though, let's get down to brass tacks. Tc? legn more of Frederick lets stick to the ac . One day in December of '51. ' He was reading the paper land thus it beg J. He discovered a plan, which thrilled him so He inquired of it further to see who could go To America and study with their pecgrle there And see how his country and our lan compare. Forms and more forms he filled out by the score. As he finished one he was handed two more. Soon the time came to take the big test And, as would be expected, Fred did his best. Freddy's new motto was So far so good. But still crossed his fingers whenever he could. His parelnts and sisters were more than just llprou ll When Freddy was picked as The One from the crowd. Who wanted the privilege 'as much as did he To prepare themselves to sail the blue sea. His letter of acceptance he read with true joy. As one would expect of a teenage boy. Appointments with American Field Service men Began to keep Fred in a constant spin. At last the day came for Fred to depart. He boarded the ship with a happy heart. Look Out! Or you'll get run over. This is what. happens in the halls of old P.H.S. six times a day, and if you don't know your way around you're liable to get trampled. Name: MYRTLE E.

We, the Senior Class of Putnam City High School in the year 1953 A.D. declare the above doctrine to be our last will and testament assigned, sealed and delivered. To become effective in September: We jzfzee - As I turned on the artificial sunlight in my room this morn- ing, and stared blankly at the calendar on the transparent plastic wall, I realized for the first time today that this was the super duper month of May, in the extra. ultra, super-duper, atomic year of 1978. My, was I surprised!! It had been exactly 25 years since my release from dear old Putnam. I decided right then that I would look up my old friend Larry Kirkland and spend the day reminiscing back at my old Alma Mater. As I stepped forth from the door of my home on the 175th floor of the Putnam Arms Apartment and floated gently tothe sidewalk below, I practically fell into the arms of truant officer, Leo Raidt, who told me that he had heard that Larry Iwas, at the present time, practicing law with his former debate friends, Phil- lip Kapp, and Rod Norberg. One of their classmates, Kenneth Ol- ler, who had given up directing a theatrical school in the East and started undertaking, helped me dig him up and we were soon on our way to the school. As I skidded my three wheeled, jet propelled, convertible to a stop at the principal's office, we were ejected through the front door. Grandfather Mayfield waded through the luxurious foot thick calriet to meet us. We were introduced to his personal sec- retary, ary Ella Krahl, her office girl, Sally Porter, and Mr. Mayfield's bodyguard, Jim Coln. We were then taken on a tour of the building, WOW, WHAT A PALACE!! Private elevators for each individual student ,coke ma- chines at each desk, and taxi service from room to room. They even had fraternity and sorority houses. Of course, the housemothers for the fraternities were Avis Fuller and Ruthie Gardner. Care- takers for the sororities were Kenneth Fern and Wallace Cox. Helping to keep the school tidy were the janitorsg John Giles, and James Small. In the joumalism room we saw editor Billy Smith setting up the next edition of the Pirate Log. This 200 page paper now has a circulation of 200,000 and is still growing. We settled ourselves down to read some back copies. On the front page of one we learn- ed that two old Putnamites, Patsy Francis and Virginia Hicks are studying in Europe on Rhoades scholarships. It seems the audio-visual training that Dan Walters, Eugene Wil- liams and Tex Gary received from Mr. Zimmerman has really paid off. They have formed a movie corporation in Hollywood called Desolate Productions. Their pictures have starred such all time greats as Anita Ward, Shirley agner, and Marilou Brodell. In the fashion section of one paper we- read that Marilyn Mc- Evers, world reknown for her clothing designs, had just created a new low in necklines. In the divorce column we learned that Shirley Gilpin is re- marrying for the fifth time. She'll never give up trying to find as perfect a husband as Shirley Wheelis's. In Louise Turner's obituary column we were sorry to read that Bill Cook was recently murdered in cold blood by a man who didn't know that the real bandit is dead. In the lovelorn column, edited by Dorothy Long, Cara Lee Segler, and Carolyn Cobb, we were not surprised to hear that Tom Edrincindls died of a heart attack when a certain Junior girl agreed to a e im. On the sports page of one paper the big news was that Put- nam City's wrestling team, three time state tournament winner, had wrestled Classen the night before. Strangely enough Putnam's team is composed of five boys named McCaleb and five boys named Keely. Cheerirgi them on were their dads, Neal and Alvin. FLASH -NEWS FRO THE HORSE RACING WORLD was one headline. The news was that Clara Kincaid and Colleen Woods had tied for top jockey of the year. In the 500 mile Indianapolis speed race of 1970, the ending was a hoto finish. In the picture were Dudley Johnston, Robert Allen, Ralph Cherry, and a girl. We were surprised to read that the girl won. I'm sure you've heard of her, she's Ann tcrumpled fenders! I-Ioye. We found several interesting items in the want ads, such as: WANTED: Attractive girl to sit with old gentleman in the eve- nings. Bob Pringle. WANTED: Blonde show girls to help promote the sale of spare Cadillacs. Bob Gilmore. FOR SALE: One slightly draggin circus wagon. Don Holzberlein. Paul Reed and J. D. Stone have gone into the service station business together. Their attendants are Karl Whitacre, Max Terry and Ronald Klopfenstein. Their business slogan is: If we can't fix it, give it away. ' Gene Hopper and Gary Kimsey are operating rival used car lots. Gene Hdgper seems to be doing the best business with his specialty for e year. A glass bottomed car, convenient in, that if you run over a pedestrian you can back up, look down, and apol- ogize without getting out of the car. Coming to the conclusion that everything was fine with the paper we decided to next inspect the science lab. Hidden back in one corner, we noticed three very unusual biological specimens. They wore glasses an inch thick, their hair was down to their shoulders, and they were surrounded by immense stacks of books. Upon closer examination we discovered them to be Edwa-rd Shadid, Jim Igadtgock, and Dennis Thorne, still trying to pass those chem- istry es . ' We also found several alumni teaching. Down in the art room we found -Frank Fowler directing the annual staff, Nancy Isreal was teaching Home Ec., Malcom Rischard had the debate class. Charles Bevill was coaching girl's basketball and Corene Ward was coaching the boy's basketball team. Ida Jo Mankin was teachin plhysica education. Norma Parchman had the Spanish class ang ynda Pyle with Mr. Burney was struggling with the driver train- ing students. Mr. Mayfield reminded us that it was near time for com- mencement so we went into the ultra-sonic auditorium where rep- arations were being made for the services. We saw Charles Thom- as, Dorothy Weldon, Harry Miller, Glen Thomas, Eugene Nemecek, Jean Morrow and Barbara Holoway practicing. They were finally getting out on good behavior. The superintendent D. D. Kirkland came down the hall with a I want you to speak at commencement -look in his eye and Mr. Mayfield quickly suggested that we leave on a student exchange trip to Europe. We told him that we had the afternoon off and would be delighted to join him. Leaving my three wheeled, jet propelled convertible outside the building we whizzed over to the Atomic Ship Lines and bou ht our tickets from the receptionist, Mildred Keller and board- ed tie Su er-Sonic Rocket very pleased to learn that our pilots were Carl Ielitchell and Charles Martz. What a trip! In two minutes we were in London. There we visited Jack Smith and his assistant Edward Dixon in Scotland Yard. They were trying to uncover an undercover man. Betty Gillespie and Mary Lou Dee have found nice quiet jobs as companions to Queen Elizabeth's children. News of Earl Thomas and Dallas Reed's clock watching ability must have spread to England for we saw them repairing the Big Ben Clock in Westminster Abbey. On to Paris and we saw a line of Parisian chorus Nfirls. Among them were Marilynne Kennedy, Wilma Sadler, Ruby inson, Nath- alie Crockett, Betty Williams, Twila Reed, Janet Watson, Darla Gallamore, Barbara Rush, Barbara Schmidt and Virginia Penn. Our next stop was India. where we saw the old Fakir Bill Perry sleeping on a bed of spikes. Nearby in the Ganges River.we saw Mike Pugh and Ernest Farrah rescuing Beverly Lawson and Jeanne Munday from drown- ing. Arthur Fortner and Gene Huey were herding the sacred cows. From a fortune teller we learned that Earl Dean Robinson has put indhis application for a harem, although it will probably be rejecte . In the market square we talked to the snake charmers Phil- lip Rattan, Harlis Underwood, and Don Adams. Don was smoking one of those Persian pipes with the long hose and he asked us if we'd care for a puff. I-Ie said the tobacco was made from well seasoned cheat sheets, Miss Baker's marriage license, juice from the gossip box and forged checkout notes col- lected in the office. As we began smoking the Jzipe everything went black - and out of the blackness we hear a loud trumpet blast. Through a gate studded with rubies and saphires appeared the king of Siam, Max Wallace, with his Arbiter Eleiantarumn tchief pipsqueekl Don Thompson. While we spoke to is Majestey, a special page, Johnny Camp, brought news that our old friend Jimmly Stone fell into his tuba and drowned while practicing in a Turkis bath. We soon tired of India and journeyed on to Germany where we attended a.1ecture given by Fred Hitzer entitled American Girls? With him was his inspiration for the speech, Jo Ann Stone. On returning to the United States we ate dinner at a local store called Goodes and were delighted to learn that the ci arette girls were some old friends of ours. They were Wanda Roiinson and Greta Lucas. En route back to Putnam the news came over the radio that the Grandma Bandits who robbed the bank of wealthy Texas cattleman, Jack Hoffman, had been aggrehended by Martha the Sheriff Sheriff. The gang proved to none other than our old colleagues Louie Lynn, Lefty Hedges, Slugger Abel, Rookie Davis, Toughie Nichols, and Bubbles Beamer. Upon leaving.Mr. Mayfield at the school, we saw Donna Wilson out in front arguing violently with Mr. Burney Believe it or not, she still has hopes of passing her driver training 'road test. Suddenly we heard a terrific explosion and smoke billowed out of the chemistry lab . . . Mrs. Mullinax is free at last. Ah well, a perfect ending to a perfect super-sonic day in the ultra modern year of 1978. fe?-S . R Q. 3 W ,, ,. amy, K Mfg c 1+ j,,gjfwQi,ff my fg.

The winner of this year's talent assembly was Fred Hitzer for his ren- dition of Hot Canary on the violin. The picture was taken when the show was taken to Southeast Highschool as an exchange assembly. The All-School Play presented this year was UARSENIC AND OLD LACE . It was very well received and full of suspense, hilarity and drama. The cast was made up of members from each class and was sponsored by the Student Council. Before the Coronation of F.H.A. Sweetheart the members of the club presented a short skit and fashion show. The models were flown direct from Paris C77 to show the students of P.H.S. the latest styles and styles of the future. Needless-to-say the show wasn't the most serious one presented this year at Putnam. Don Thompson, elected F.H.A. Sweet- heart by the club members, was crown- ed by Shirley Wheelis, President, at the annual F.H.A. assembly. Shirley was escorted by Fred Hitzer. The run- ners-up were Billy Smith escorted by Pat Byrd and Wallace Cox who was escorted by Joann Nichols. The Putnam City School Faculty pre- sented a delightful colored minstrel. This presentation was sponsored by the Classroom Teachers Association and four performances were needed to al- low all the students to see it. Everyone enjoyed himself and current comment is, teachers are human after all. 'Mp On the subject of American girls, Fred says you cn see no great diference between them and German girls by looking at them except that in America girls wear make-up. He also says that in America girls are more equal to boys and are more informal in school Whereas in Germany boys and girls are genzrally in separated schools. In general he says that American girls are very nice and friendly.

The pictured formation is the Split-T which has the following advantages: Requires only average personnel, averages more yards a play, springs backs into the open field more readily, and puts greater pressure on standard defenses. ACTION! A shot of the opening: Pirate game. Put- name irates defeated the Bethany Bronchos 12-6. - , 1 . SECOND STRING: FB R. Avants, B1k.B V. Colley, TB D. Watson, WB E. Shadid, RE H. Miller, RT B.

It is versatile, effective for end sweeps to the strong side and for spinners. . ii. i itcci S ,, . ,... u yn, Q gwsrlmrw 'f 1, if Q I' tunnel. W 'Q' cryin Fourth row: N. Smith, R. Judkins, A.

Keely 'yW'csfZL'ncg Wrestling is a sport that requires skill, stamina and perfect physical condition. We of Putnam City High School are proud .of our Wrestlers and coach who have brought honors to our school. A sport is never well played unless it is cleanly played and we know, from the favorable com- , ments our team has earned, that we play a 4 H good game. f Let us hope that the future wrestling teams use i the 1952-53 team as a model for sportsmanship, and the will to win. COACH T. J. SNYDER Through the tireless efforts of Coach Snyder, the wrestling team has won laurels for our school this year. He is a coach loved and respected by the whole team. - Our sprinters . . .
