Rush Springs is justly proud of her boys. They are scattered all over the globe, and have gone “over the top” many times. Here’s fifteen rah’s for our soldier boys. 1919 THE RUSH SPRINGS SCHOOL HISTORY In the fall of 1908 everyone was anxious for school to begin for a new building was being erected. School started the first Monday in Sept- ember in the old building, but the pupils moved in the new one within a few months. There were two High School teachers. Prof. A. B. Herring, Supt., and Miss Ella Gooden, Principal and another year was added to the High .School. The next year Prof. Schiemann was elected Superintendent and stayed with us one year. Prof. Guy M. Woods was our next Superintendent. New subjects were • offered and more equipments were added to our school grounds. The Board of Education was very fortunate, the next year, in securing a faculty of unusual ability and efficiency, Prof. J. C. Stewart, Superinten- dent and Claude Collard, Principal. Prof. Stewart stayed with us three years and through his influence a new bunlding was added to our High School and our school fully accredited. We are glad to have with us this year Prof. H. F. Allen as Supreinten- dent, Fleda Rose Bird Principal, Carmen Hampton and Lillian Hart High School teachers. We are truly proud of our faculty and through the in- fluence of Prof. Allen and the co-operation of his teachers we have added three new credits and a splendid new library to our school. This year we also have an excellent Orchestra directed by Miss Ruth Hill, violin instructor and the Girl’s Glee Club, directed by Miss Hampton. The Senior class of 1919 is the smallest in the history of Rush Springs’ High School, but we hope to make good our motto. “Quality not Quantity.” 1919 1919 12 THE RUSH SPRINGS 13 1919 THE RUSH SPRINGS B Scicnc FLEDA BIRD PRINCIPAL Latin and Mathematics LILLIAN HART English and Mathematics THE RUSH S P R I N G S CARMEN HAMPTON History and English BURT SHERIFF Domestic Science RUTH HILL Violin and Orchestra 16 17 1919 THE RUSH SPRINGS % r yi r ’tc I ‘‘As is the teacher so is the school.” This old adage is familiar to every one of us—and, it is true. It is merely another way of stating that the faculty of a school is of the utmost importance. Fortunate is the school with a well trained efficient body of instructors. Such is Rush Springs In this, his first year at Rush Springs, Superintendent H. F. Allen, with his jovial smile and perpetual good humor, has won a place in the affect- ions of both faculty and student body. He is a true leader of his co- workers, the faculty, and a true friend to every student. The ability of Supt. A len as an organizer is especialy noticeable.. Never before has the school been organized so perfectly as it is at present. The “Rush Springs” extends to Supt. Allen congratulations for the success which has attended his work during the past year, and hopes he will continue to serve for many years in the future as Supt. of the Rush Springs High School. During the time she has been at Rush Springs Miss Fleda Bird has greatly endeared herself to the students by her spirit of being every willing to serve. Her gracious manner and dignity of bearing mark her as being of rare ability. Her class room work is always thorough and efficient and she demands real work from her pupils, yet, they all like her an 1 enjov hav- ing work under her. We take this opportunity of thanking Miss Bird for her help with the annual cartoons. Miss Carmen Hampton, history and english teacher, is also the class advisor of the class of 1919. Besides being very proficient in this line of work she teaches with a vim that is not surpassed by any one, and has her High. 1919 18 THE RUSH SPRINGS whole heart and soul in her work. We are all the more proud of her be- cause she is a product of Kush Springs and the Seniors say, there is no one quite her equal. Miss Lillian Hart is one of those industrious, cheerful instructors— continually working for the best interests of the pupils in her classes. Aside from her proficiency as a mathematic and English teacher, Miss Hart has helped the school in many ways being at all times ready and willing to serve and with her bright optimistic nature makes the atmosphere of school mere cheerful because of her presence. Miss Sheriff, domestic science teacher, is so interested in her work that it is only natural that she arouses great interest and enthusiasm in her pupils. Added to this interest is a thorough preparation which makes her a very efficient instructor. She is of a kind and gentle disposition, never too busy to advise or help in the preparation of some banquet luncheon, or reception. Miss Ruth Hill, our violin instructor, also has charge of the orchestra work. The interest and enthusiasm she arouses in her workers are large- ly responsible for the wonderful success she has had in attracting students into her department. She has been with us but a comparatively short time, yet she has made herself almost invaluable. Mrs. Charles Massey is a reader of unusual ability and we are glad to w. lcome her to Rush Springs High as our expression teacher. Her appear- ances at assembly are always greeted with pleasure as the repeated en- cores will testify. The reading programs given, and plays staged through- out the year, under her direction are other evidences of the efficient work she is doing. We are glad to add to our faculty this year, Miss Hazel Owsley, teach- er of voice. She is a talented musician and her musical numbers in assem- bly arc a treat to the teachers and student body. 19 1919 THE RUSH SPRINGS CLASS POEM PURPLE AND GOLD School life! ah!

Some came up form the eighth grade where they had for many months been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom: Some were green and fresh from a far country: some came from farm's, where they had been tillers of the soil: and some were from other halls of instruction. And it came to pass, as they did enter this land that they were received with malicious glee by a certain band of a wild beings who were called “Sophmores and who, because of their fierce taste for Freshman blood, did pounce them daily and nightly, and did cause them to suffer great things, and to say in their hearts: “Behold, blessed be the name of Education for because of it have we en- dured great torments both of the body and of the mind. Verily have we been martyrs to its great and noble cause! And as they dwelt long in the land they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof, and their strangeness wore away, and they became as one among the rest. And it likewise came to pass after some months that their eyes were turned toward the close of the school year and some began to make ex- cuses. One said “I am dull and cannot learn, I pray thee have me ex- cused.” Another said, “I must needs toil at home, therefore I cannot finish with this class. So thus the class did decrease two until at the end of the first year the whole number was ten. Chapter II. Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year that this class was ruled'over by one known as Caucle Collard, a professor of much 1919 THE RUSH SPRINGS wisdom; and at the beginning: of the second year, he spake unto them saying: “Go gather ye in a body, and organize yourselves into a class, that ye may gain in strength, and that your courage may wax hot!” And as he spake unto them, so was it done, and they chose their wisest ones to be their leaders and called themselves with much pride, the class of ‘17. And as the class did journey through the land, behold, there were five maidens who were fair to look upon, who had strayed far from the com- panies with which they had set forth, and were much sorrowful. And as the members of the class did look upon them in their loneliness their hearts were stirred in pity for them and did open wide unto them that they should be gathered in. And, likewise it came to pass, after many months had gone by, that two maidens of the class did depart, one saying, “I am going to be married and therefore I cannot finish with the class of ’17.” The other said, “I must needs toil at home, therefore I cannot gradu- ate.” And the whole number at the end of the second year was fourteen. Chapter III. Now it so happened that this class of 1918 found favor in the eyes of a wise and worthy professor called J. C. Stewart, and also a youn? lady teacher called Rena Arnold, who helped them wonderfully and piloted the through the rugged sea of knowledge. And after this success looked fair before them and they were much glad. Now, when the six and twentieth day of the sixth month of the year 1918 was fully come, this class did give a feast, and did send messages to all Seniors of 1918 saying, “Come ye, and make merry with us, for ye shall soon depart from this land and we shall see you no more.” And as they were bidden so came they in large numbers to the home of a certain worthy gentleman who was one of the directors of school, an 1 did rejoice at the good fortune which had come to them, in return for all their long and patient laboring at the tasks that had been set before them. 1919 THE RUSH SPRINGS And behold, as the class went on its way in great rejoicing through the land of plenty and of promise, they were made sad by the departure of six of their members, one black-eyed maiden who was called to her mother’s bedside to remain there during that year. And one maid blush- ingly said “I am going to be married, I cannot be with you next year.” Two other members departed to other halls of instruction, and the whole number at the end of this year was eight. Chaptr IV. Now, this the fourth year in the history of this great and wonderful class of 1919 has been one of much hard labor, and but little resting by the wayside; for preparations have been making ready for then to take their final departure from the land. They were deeply grieved to lose two more class-mates, one going out into life, and one departing to another school. Now it came to pass, as their minds were enriched by teachings of their Supt. H. F. Allen and advisor Carmen Hamp’ton that their pride grew to a great bigness within them, and they began to wish for ornaments benefitting their station; and many messages were sent to the big cities and all the towns round about for samples of their fine jewelry and at last after much considering and reconsidering, the class professed itself to be satis- fied with its choice and rings were purchased with which they rested well content. It now happened that one of the class members returned to his old class thus making the number at the end of this fourth year, six: JESSE WALRAVEN ALMA BAKER CLARA BERNARD OSCAR BECK ETHEL TONEY and SIBYL GLOVER who now speaketh these words of en- lightonment unto you. Now I say unto you, the members of this class must depart thence to go each a separate way, to lands they know not of, to do, they know not what. But let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. THE RUSH SPRINGS SENIOR PROPHECY Listen all ye men and women, youths and maidens and little children! Listen all ye people of Rush Springs to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophet who now speaks unto you what hath been revealed unto her. There appeared unto her the fair and lovely spirit of prophecy and lo! as she drew back the curtains she pointed with a long transparent finger down the avenues of a strange land and opened her lips and spake unto me saying: Look! Listen! and it came to pass that the veil before mine eyes was lifted and behold I could see my classmates in the future even as if the intervening years were not at all. I could see Jesse Walraven our beloved President in all his dignity ar.d self confidence even as today I see him; for his ambition had led him ever upward and onward until he was one of the most renowned lawyers of our fair State. And I looked again and in a large office among many men and mar.y women I saw our dear classmate Ethel Toney the controlling force of all these people for truly she has become a woman of business whose voice is heard and heeded, not only in her own State but throughout the Nation. And it came to pass that 1 looked again and I saw our dear Editor in Chief Sibyl Glover the center of charming and charmed circle. She is new the happy Wife of the most famous musician and the greatest lover of art of the present day and she is no way behind her husband in talent. To- gether they visit all the beautiful places of the world and charm vast throngs with their wonderful music.. And it came to pass while I pondered these things in my heart the doer of a home swinging open before my vision and I found there in a household made happy by a wife and mother who found her greatest ambition in the highest of all worldly vocations—the maker and keeper of the home spirit rejoiced as I gazed on our belooved Business Manager Alma Baker. As I gazed on this scene of love and beauty it gradually faded before my eyes and behold another vision was revealed to me that of our dear friend and classmate Oscar Beck, who we remember as one of the liveliest of our class and who was always doing something. His great ambition fer degrees has at last been gratified, and now he is the professor of foreign languages in Princton College. He has changed considerably under the 1919 ghbh THE RUSH SPRINGS influence of his ai-tistic and dignified young wife, who we all knew as Vivian Inman. Then the spirit of prophecy revealed to me my own future and I was no other than the State Superintendent of Oklahoma Schools, happy and busy I seemed to be and proud of the honor that had been conferred on me, and I seemed as if content to spend the remainder of my days in helping boys and girls to obtain a better education. Then the veil was drawn before my eyes, shutting out the things that are to be. Only goodness and truth and prosperity shall follow all the days that are to come to the talented members of the class of 1919.

We worked faithfully that year and the next proudly entered os Sophomores. We became more recognized this year, as we diligently worked making high grades and always fully represented on the honor roll. This year we met the second day of school with all our old officers and selected, with an unaimous vote, Supt. H. F. Allen as class advisor, who has proved to be not only advisor but our best friend and companion as well. We are ever champions to the Freshmen causes, and we have found in them willing and qualified helpers in both athletic and intellectual work, and with their help we are proud victors of the Literary Society Contest. We are known as the “Jolly Juniors” and we give full credit to the title. We enjoyed one big marsh-mellow toast. We pleasantly entertained and were entertained by the Freshmen and Seniors. But we have our hours of work as well as play, and are even now planning our Senior work, when with a grand effort we are determined to leave old Rush Springs High School, with one good record that shall be put down in school history as one of the many events to be forever remember by students and patrons of Rush Springs.

While usually on their tasks intent, sometimes on pleasure they are bent and one night in October the Freshmen class went on a secret marsh- mellow toast. On the twenty third the Freshmen royally entertained the Juniors at the Tidwell home. In athletics the Freshmen quite excel all other classes—basketball be ing their strong point. Having won in a serier of class games of basket- ball, we carried off the silver loving cup in triumph. With the help of the Juniors, our co-workers in the Aurora Literary Society, a victory was won from the Utopians in the year’s literary contest. The hope of the Freshmen class is that they may continue to excel. CLASS OFFICERS ......FLOYD ALLISON ...JABE TIDWELL ANNIE LESTER ..MISS HART 1 CLASS FLOWER White Rose. COLORS � Red and White.

Under Miss Ruth Hill’s direction, an excellent orchestra has been brought together and trained. Their first performance was at the High School play, “The Poor Married Man.” The music was good in selection and the rendering. Miss Hill is certainly to be admired for her tact and talent in this line of work. Other musical organizations of great importnce are the girl’s and boy’s Glee Clubs. Under the admirable directoroy of Miss Hampton, the girls put forth their best efforts to make their Glee Club a real success as it was. They placed second at the County Contest and the boys placed third. 64 6161 mmiw THE RUSH SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM G 3 1919 HISTORY OF RUSH SPRINGS ATHLETICS Athletics have played a very prominent part in the history of Rush High School. We have always been well represented in basketball, base ball, and track. Although the latter sports have been very popular in our school, and participated in by almost every boy in school, basketball seems to be the leading factor in Rush High Athletics. For the past four years Rush Springs has ranked as one of the very best basketball teams of the State, and for one year even excelling all others and winning State championship in 1916 Rush Springs has won the County cup for four consecutive years. This game, more than any other, has always had the hearty support of the town and school. They should be proud of the records these teams have made. They have been a regular scoring machine. At the first of the season, basketball looked shaky and blue as we had only one man who played on the team last year, but Coach Allen kept steady at work getting our new material in good condition. Tidwell and Hogue were placed at the positions of forward. Thsi composed our score- ing machine, with the addition of Coyle, our center. Mullican and Walraven composed our defensive which demoralized many teams and destroyed their scoring ability. From the beginning of the season Coach Allen has instilled into our minds that “The sportmrmhip o' athletics is clean playing.” and for this reason, we feel elated in the fact that we have one of the cleanest teams in the State. Here’s hsping that in the years to come, Rush Springs will receive the hearty support and co-operation of town and school, such as she has received in the past, which will enable her to pat oat winning teams of which they will be justly proud. 67 1919 COACH ALLEN JESSE WALRAVEN ERVIN MULLICAN A man of skill and athletic tactics unexcelled. He, who through his untiring: efforts has led our team to success. He worked hard and patiently, sacrificing time and means for the team. Undoubtedly his character and sportmanship is beyond reproach for his motto is, “After all it doesn’t matter so much as to whether you win or lose, but how did you play the game.” Jesse Walraven (Captain) and guard. It was an ex- ceptional thing for any forward to score on Walraven. He has filled his position with honor, and has led the team successfully. Walraven finishes this year and this will mean a great loss to the team. Ervin Mullican. A real fast guard that could easily guard two men at once. Mullican was presented with a six dollar pair of shoes for his star worx, against Chickasha. it is said of Ervin that he has the tenacity of a “bulldog.” 1919 JAMES FLEETWOOD LAUFENCE COYLE BRYAN TIDWELI James Fleetwood guard. Jim could always be de- pended upcn for his playing was swift, accurate and steady. When Fleetwood stepped on the court the spectators knew that some poor forward was going to be wrapped up. Laurence Coyle, center. A real strong man when it comes to playing basketball. Coyle is a good jumper, with good head work which made him known by all of his opponents. Bryan Tidwell, forward. Although Bryan is the lightest man on the team, his record is good. He played a fast game at the position of forward. R. H. S. is fortunate in that Tidwell remains for an .ther year. 1919 THE RUSH SPRINGS IlKliil - e vss(yv - CLAUDE HOGUE Claude Hogue, forward. Better known as “Tuflfy ” is a fast man. It was an exceptional thing for any guard to camp on his trail. His ability to get the ball is hardly equalled. THE RECORD Ninnekah H. S. 14 R. H. S. 54 Town Team 31 R. H. S. 34 Comanche H. S. 12 R.

A woman possessing all the qualities for a successful coach and with a character that any team should be proud of. Through her many o icrts. and knowledge of basketball she has led our team to championship. Mildred Glover, Secretary, center (captain.) Mildred is little but mighty, she can cover the court and play the ball more so than any player, with whom she has ever come in contact. Mildred has always distinguished herself by her accurate dribbling. Georgia Randolph, center. Georgia is tall, fast strong, and always in the game. Although she did not play in all the games her record is beyond re- proach. 71 :9i9 SADIE LONG WINNIE FITZHUGH Velma Harrison, forward. Velma is fast and de- pendable. Her ability to get the ball and dodge the guard is unexcelled. We could always depend on Velma putting the ball through the goal. Sadie Long, center. In a time of need we found Sadie always ready and willing to do her part; this is as much as can be expected from a regular player. Sadie is a strong believer in team work, and always took care of her part of the court. Winnie Fitzhugh, forward. Winnie was always in the game and whether the game was hard or easy, she played to the end which added great strength to our team. We are fortunate in having Winnie an- other year. BEATRICE GLOVER ORAL WALLACE Beatrice Glover, guard. Beatrice being left handed, was always a disadvantage to her opponent. She is a very aggressive and reliable player. Although this is Beatrice’s first year, great things are expected of her in the future. Opal Wallace, guard. Opal “Our Fighting Guard.” It was an exceptional thing for any forward to get more than two goals off Opal. She proved a great asset to the team,her grit and nerve destroying tier opponents fame.

The THE RUSH SPRINGS IW TEAM Coach H. F. Allen James Fleetwood Floyd Allison Jack Ross Bryan Tidwell Jabe Tidwell The base ball season opened with the spirit of the game running; high. Every boy was anxious to take his position, and declared his determination to win every game. Coach Allen being well versed in the art of the sport, easily determined what line up we should take, and immediately placed the players. A few games were played between the two societies also a game was matched with the town team. Although we did nto play many games, we feel that we have reached success. It is necessary for the Annual to go to press before finishing the season.

Must say, however, you sure made a splendid choice in choosing this Superintendent of yours as your advertising manager, for h? “relieved” us of the $16.00 to cover this page ad, with the sam “Barn-Storming” fashion as the “Old Timers,” and while in the beginning, we had no idea of running the ad yet after he be- gan working on us, the slighest chance never remained for us to get away. His way of getting the m ne 7 sure in presses us, and we tried to hire him but he woudn’t listen to it, promptly advising “Nothing Doing,” saying that Rush Springs was the only place for him Now, if ever you get tired of him, just send him on over to us, for he is just the kind we want to advertise and sell YUKON’S BEST FLOUR and YUKON’S FIFTEEN VARIETIES OF CEREAL FOODS.
