Herring, Supt., and Mis Ella Gooden, High School teacher. Two years High School work was offered. In 1910 Prof. Schieir.ann was elected Supt. and stayed with us one year. Guy M. Woods was our next Supt., and staid with us during the year of 1911-12. He spent a great deal of his time in beautifying the school grounds. Prof. J. C. Stewart was elected Supt. in 1913 and Claud Collard Principal. Prof. Stewart stayed with us three years and during his adnv.r. i'traticn a new High School building was built and the school accredited for fifteen units. Strong athletic teams were developed and the school made great advancement in all lines of work. Prof. H. F. Allen was elected Supt. 1918 and daring his first year the High School was fully accredited for eighteen units. A splendid new library was added. This year 1919-20 Prof. Allen was re-elected Supt., O. A.

Murphy, C. V . Harper, J. J. Mayfield, We owe much to the Eosrd of Education for their splendid co-operation and willingness to serve the school loving people of Rush Springs. Through the effort of Supt. Allen and the Board, many new features have been added to our school. The schools of Rush Springs, are well equipped for General Science, Physics, Domestic Science, Agriculture and Manual Training. The Beard is planning a new High School building which they hope to see erected for next year’s school. 9 — T H E R U S H SPUINGS 10 THE RUSH SPRINGS Vi J920 TH E KUSH S VRI X G S RUTH HILL Violin and Orchestra 1920 THE RUSH SPRINGS Never in the history of our school have we had a more efficient body of instructors than now. Supt. H. F. Allen has lead our school through another most success- ful year. Words can not express our appreciation of his work. His effi- cient administration has won advanced standing for us and our accomplish- ments have made us known state wide. Mr. Allen's lofty ideals are held in highest esteem not only by the members of the faculty and student body, but by the community as a whole. His pleasant smile and kindly manner makes him foremost as a leader of young people. We were pleased to know that Mr. Allen was elected to his position as Supt. of the Rush Springs school for a third year, but regret to learn just before putting our annual to press that he declined to accept the position and has accepted a position as County Supt. of Grady County Public Schools. During the time he has been at Rush Springs, Mr. Gasaway has proven himself a valued instructor. His class room work is always thorough and he believes in real work. We appreciate the support he has given us at all times. We hope he may continue as the Principal of Rush Springs High School for many years to come. Miss Lillian Hart, History and English, is very proficient in this line of work. She is always willing to do her part when it comes to mak- ing R. H. S. a bigger and better school. She is always cheerful and con- tinually working for the best interest of the pupils. She was a great help to the pupils in winning the Grady County Intellectual Cup. She is direct- or of the girls Glee Club, who has entertained us many times in chapel during the year. Miss Margaret Michaelson, Latin and English. Her class room work is always thorough and efficient, she demands real work from her pupils and she is never satisfied with anything less than our best endeavors. She is well liked by all that comes in contact with her. We hope she may continue with the work in R. H. S. next year, for we feel that a better teacher for this position can not be found. Miss Ruth Hill, Violin and Orchestra, has been with us the past two years and has developed many musicians, while the orchestra is a new undertaking for R. H. S., we hope the good work may continue that we :he County Banner another year. 1920 11 THE RUSH SPRINGS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT...................................BRYAN TIDWELL VICE-PRESIDENT..........................LUCIUS LONG SEC.-TREAS...........................ELIZABETH CROWNOVER ADVISOR................SUPT.

After four years of diligent work as grade pupils we entered R. H. S. with a flurish and flying of colors. During our Freshmen year we were only able to withstand the Sophomors by the aid of Prof. Collard. As Sophomors we spent many hours of delightful study and were filled with higher ideals and ambitions through the influence of Miss Arnold. We ever sought revenge on the Freshies. Our Junior year was one of work and pleasure, with Supt. Allen as advisor, who proved to us that we could have found none who would have been a better friend and teacher. Our Senior year has been one of work but arranged and supervised by Supt. Allen. It has been one of our greatest pleasures as well. With an enrollment of the largest class that has ever graduated from R. H. S. We have our work here finished with our banners still flying. Although we have stumbled and fell we have always risen again and have gone forth with renewed vigor. We hope R. H. S. will continue to grow as it has done the last four years. Thus with memories that will ever remain dear, we leave you.—R. H. S. 1920 22 THE RUSH SPRINGS SENIOR PHOPHECY Since everyone in striving: for the goal must tart out in life in a different ship, and no two set sail from the same port, a great longing is realized in later years to meet dear faces along the harbors. Will you go with me into my world of wonder, and let me tell of some of my personal experiences while on a tour meeting my dear school mates of twenty years ago? In thinking back to the year 1920, can any one here imagine a girl who at that time weighed two hundred and thirty pounds being now head instructor of art in Chicago University? I learned in the reception room of this great Institution that she was still Naomi Harris, and after a few minutes conversation I following the crowd passed on. The unexpected comes, or seems to come at a time when least expected. As I was strolling down Broadway New York reading the signs, the natural thing for every Rush Springs lassie to do, I came to the leading store on this particular «treet, and was attracted by a touch on the shoulder, and, I beg your pardon, lady. “Will you please walk in?” spoke a courteous young Jew, and as I did so whose face should I look into but Elizabeth Crcwnover’s. the blue eyed, rosk cheeked girl, whom I had not seen since the closing of our Senior year in High School. To be truth- ful, she looks five years younger than in former year«, and upon her left finger shines a large solitaire diamond. One need not ask any questions, just watch the glances of the black eyed male character who greets the people into this stcre. Yet on I pass. With every wind comes a new life, a new thought, a new hope. What would she do? Everything in life worth while seemed here, yet, the human mind is not content. Some suggested the school room, others the matroness at a summer hotel resort, but Opal Wallace considered not these things as affording life's greatest pleasure, so unto herself she took a husband, being one of the first of our class to marry. This was made known to all members in the year 1921. Mr. and Mrs. Forbes now live at 212, 48th St., New York, and their home is called the Forbes mansion which I visited the same afternoon, after meeting Naomi Harris The deer in the forest knows not why it roams, neither does the bee which gathers it predestinated wealth. So it was with an ambitious J oung man from the Sooner State. It was necessary for me to obtain a foreign cheque in order to make living comfortable in an unknown country. Going into a Federal Reserve Bank before leaving New York. I was re- cognized by the president of the bank who was leaving the door for his car, in which was waiting his driver and his youthful companion. “Why is it possible to meet one of my cla s mates,” he asked. On coming up and taking me by the hand, do come with me there is someone out side who will be as much surprised as I to see you. We walked to the car. “Lucille,” said the now familiar voice of Lucius Long, “Do you knew who this is?” After a moment of thought a little scream she pulled me into the car. In their home I stayed for two days before leaving for Brest, France. 1920 There v a feeling: of loneliness that comes to one on entering: a large steamer fo rthe first time but remembering: one of Supt. H. F. Allen’s favorite expressions to the Senior Class was: ‘‘Seem contented though you despise the world.” I seated myself and tried to act according- ly. As I was observing, collecting material fer the United Association of American writers, naturally I wc s interested in all matter pertaining zo the public welfare. On entering,to my left was seated two very distinguished looking young men, talking upon the subject of The Merchants Marine. One, the smaller of the two, I ascertained by listening closely was president of the International Mercantile Marine. An American Company owning and operating several important Trans-Atlantic liners under the Unitel flags. It was thought by this man's untiring efforts that the United Merchant Marine lines were made possible. In order to obtain the inside information upen ther subject, I approached them under the disguise of an Associated Press Reporter but before I could clar my wants. I had found an old class irate. The gentleman of whom I have spoken, explained to me � n a very diplomatic manner that he was Bryan Tidwell, former President of the Senior Class 1920. He could remember all the girls in our class but contended that he was the only boy that ever finished from R. H. S. until after 1920. Bryan told me his home was in Florence, Italy. Of course I couldn’t understand why a red blooded American could leave, ‘‘Clover Land,” or in other words, “God’s Country,” for a foreign one. “Well,’ he said, “my wife, you will rember Georgia Randolph—Mileur. Her first husband was Alfred Mileur. Georgia came to Italy to study voice as Alfred left her with a large estate. Four years later we were manned anti she believes that life away from the Nightingale is flung to the winds.” Ten days upon the unknown waters brought the large steam Monster into the harbor cf Brest. I was very weary and wanted rest, that comes Upm real homelike comforts. After discussing with the proprietor cf vhe leading caberet I learned that for the person of the common place, .here was a much haunted room on the leading avenue of this great sea pert. At last I located the place, a young lady with the pleasing appearance .net me and said, “Arn’t you an American girl?” “Yes,” I answered. “When did you arrive?” “Just a few hours ago.” “Pm from the State of Oklahoma, the leading oil State in the world,” I replied. “Oh, you are?” she asked, “I am from Oklahoma too,” and then and until then only, did I recognize the blond girl of my Senior class, Earnie Baker, doing just the kind of work one would expect a missionary to do who was sent by the citizens of Rush Springs to this place. Well, since time im.morial there have been many things unknown, many profits have appeared, but with the beginning of written history the teacher has been the Servant of man. He or she has pulled the ox from the ditch and transformed it into a domesticated animal. Yet, without lifting the betrodden soul of the doen only in the human heart. “Why did you choose this profession?” I asked a young lady, after my arrival in America while going to my home town on the Rock Island from Chickasha. “Oh, my mother' people were all teachers and it just THE R U S II S P H I X G S ( i fell my lot since Prince Charming did or has not come my way yet. I am getting forty-five dollars a month teaching at Agawam as principal,” she said. I couldn’t believe my own eyes and ears. So I asked her to repeat what she had just stated. She did, it is true. The Valedictorian of R. H. S. of 1920 clasp my hand and said, “Well-----Heck-----what are you doing?” She was on her way home the same cheerful, light hearted El ie Miller of twenty years ago. I landed in Rush Springs after an absent of five years, to visit my childhood home town before going to my mother’s home out in the far west, Colorado. There are always interesting incidents that come to each life that are never told. I have given you a glimpse of my former classmates as the screen cf action passed by. To me it is a picture never to be for- gotten, to you. only a Prophecy. BESSIE JCYCE, I mo : I I 25 THE RUSH SPRINGS ==- v CLASS WILL We the Senior Class of R. H.

We had by far the best class, both in quality and in quanti- ty, that had yet entered the High School here, never the less in spite of our brilliancy, we were considered very insignificant by our rivals, the Sophomores, who gave us all the trouble they could, however, we went bravely on and the following year triumphantly entered the Sophomore class. We now had for our comrades the great and honored Seniors, so, with the help of our class advisor, Miss Bird, we finished that term with colors flying and this year entered the Junior class. On the first day we met and organized, -selected for a class advisor, Mr. Gasaway, who has proved himself to be ever willing, loyal and helpful. Under his supervision we have worked as gladly as we have played. We have been royally entertained by the Freshmen, enjoyed a hay ride to a pie supper at Acme and spent one delightful evening at the Glover home. Next year we hope to finish our High School career with the highest honors heretofore granted to any Senior class. 1920 T H E R U S H S P R I N G S ys CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT......................................ERVIS LESTER VICE-PRESIDENT........................ERVIN MULLICAN SEC.-TREAS...................MILDRED GLOVER ADVISOR..................O.

H. S. in the fall of 1918. Some of the best talent in the R. H. S. is found in this class, and with the help of our co-workers, the Seniors, we won the annual literary contest to the mild wonder of the Freshmen and the regret of the Juniors— but we can say that the Utopians were strong competitors for the honors. We lost a number of our members back in the Freshman class but the ones we now call Sophomores are the “peppiest” students in school. We tried to follow our motto B2 through our Freshman year-- as Sophomores we still have it in mind and a glimmer of it left when we come to be Juniors.

S. on September 1st, 1919 were thirty-five ambitious Freshmen, longing to drink the cooling draught of education. They organized themselves as a class, electing Miss Margaret Michaelson as their advisor and proved their worthiness and ebility by the good grades made and their ever ready “pep” in assembly. But these noble Freshmen did quite excell all the other classes in “midnight rivals” and early in the fall royally entertained their dear class brothers and sisters, the Juniors, at the High School building. Later in the year, they participated in numerous marshmellow roasts and parties, etc. But these Freshmen excell not only socially but educationally as well. So here is predicted a brilliant future for the “Freshies of ’19,” and the “Seniors of ’23.” CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT..........................................THOMAS RICE VICE-PRESIDENT........................KATIE MITCHELL SEC.-TREAS....................VIRGINIA WALLACE MOTTO Upward, Still and Onward.

We feel that the Domestic Science class made up of Junior girls have been really an important factor in the life of our school. At one time they served lunch at a public sale, another at ‘‘The Limit,” the proceeds going for the benefit of the Junior-Senior banquet. Thear instructor, Miss Lillian Hart, has proven herself to be ever ready and willing to help in every occasion. 54 1920 THE RUSH SPRINGS WINNERS OF INTER SOCIETY CONTEST VOCAL SOLO VIOLIN SOLO DECLAMATION ...PIANO SOLO .....ORATION .....DEBATE ......DEBATE ....READING PIANO DUET PIANO DUET (Second place).

In the election of officers Bryan Tidwell was made President while Georgia Randolph was made Secretary each being well able to fill their places.

The winning of first place in Grady County Intellectual Contest is placed at the head of our list of achieve ments for the year, and goes to show that the high standards of scholar- ship emphasized by the present administration is achieved its aim, namelj to make the school known and praised by its deeds. From the very beginning of the program our contestants won the administration of the audience by their skill and thMr confident manner in which they presented themselves. At no time during the evening were we uneasy about the outcome and when the final score (was announced we had won easily with almost twice as many points as any other school.

We hope to see the good work in the department continue as U -ill add materially to the comforts of R. H. S. another year. 64 G3 THE RUSH SPRINGS HISTORY OF RUSH SPRINGS ATHLETICS Rush Springs is one of the leading schools in athletics. We won the State championship one year in basketball and gained permanent possession of two basketball cups in Grady County boys and girls. One district cup for boys basketball and one tract cup. Coaches Allen and Gasaway have made a wonderful show up with their teams this year. The girls have made great improvement, they have lost only two games in four years and have never lost a game on their home court. 1920 07 THE RUSH SPRINGS Athletics have always been wonderfully supported by the people of Rush Springs and we owe much of our success to them. We feel confident that they will continue to help us and we shall continue to be victorious. Mr. Gasaway, Coach. We could never have found a better coach or friend than Mr. Gasaway. He was always more than willing and anxious to devote every possible moment of his time to coaching the girls. The team made a greater improvement this year than was ever made before. A friendship always to be remembered was formed between each girl and Mr. Gasaway. We also wish to offer our appreciation to Prof. Geeslin who was present at every practice rendering great assistance to coaching both girls and boys. He accompanied the girls to Watonga, hi-s home town, and gave his ever support to R. H. S. girls. Miss Bryant, Chaperon, expected each girl to have the very best time possible, but also carried on in the best way. She proved to be a 68 THE RUSH SPRINGS clear friend to every girl. We appreciate her companionship, pleasant and entertaining personality. We feel that no group of girls ever enjoyed a truer and more jolly chaperon than Miss Bryant. Opal Wallace, Captain and Star Guard, played invincible ball during thks her last year for R. H. S. She can boast of what we believe no other guard in the State can, and that is not allowing an opposing forward to score a field goal over her throughout the season. She is a heady player. Exceptionally good at charging the ball and always in the game. Ruby Herndon, Forward, is noted for her light weight and speed, weighing only eighty pounds, she is acknowledged by all guards as the fastest forward they have ever met. She has scored aa high as thirty points in one game. She will be on R. H. S. team again next year. Velma Harrson, Forward, with plenty of life and pep, is always on the job. We feel as though we can always depend on her. When hope is lowest, Velma makes herself known. We are glad to know Velma will be with us in the future. Beaulah Hogue, an all around player shines as ide center, she has a basketball pass that cannot be surpassed and which puts the ball only in the forwards hands. Beaulah will also be with us another year. Mildred Glover, jumping or side center, is an old trusty and classes with the fastest players in the State. We feel fully confident when Mildred is there, for we know how seldom the ball passes center field without being secured by her. Mildred has one more year to represent R. H. S. Sadie Long, jumping center, is always on the job with determination and fight. Sadie has been on the team two years and we feel secure knowing she will be with us two years longer. Sibyl Worsham, as guard, cannot be surpassed, strong, competent and always striving for victory. We are sure that we have secured nr« efficient player who will be with us several years. Grace Warren, guard, is ever ready and willing to do her part when the time comes. She gave an additional success to our team. We are proud of Grace and know she always did her best. Grace has three years yet to represent R. H. S. Annie Lester, guard, competent and ever ready and willing to do her very best. Her spirit and ability are examples worth taking note of to all others. She will be with us again next year. THE RECORD Pocas et 14.......................................R H. S. 17 Norge 1...........................................R. H.

We eel as though we were very lucky in securing him for coach. His motto is. “Clean Playing” and all his players certainly understand the meaning of that term. Martin Caywood (better known a Red) Captain and Guard, is pro- bably better remembered by the visiting teams than any other member of the team. Red could always be depended upon, for his play was swift, accurate and he was always found with the ball when R. H. S. needed a score. Ervin Mullican, a fast Guard that never found a forward who could 70 THE RUSH SPRINGS give him a dodge. He was always on the job, his passage was accurate and in many games he held his forward to a zero score. He will be on the team another year and we are expecting more things than in the past. Bryan Tidwell, the lightning forward, was the lightest man on the team but his accurate shooting and ability to dodge his guard made him a valuable man and one that his opponents could easily remember. This is his last year to represent R. H. S. as he is a member of the Senior class of 1920. Claud Hogue, Forward, better known as “Tuffy,” was always there when it came to beating his man to the ball, receiving passes and long shoots. It was an exceptional thing for any guard to camp on his trail. Hogue will be on the team another year and should make an all State forward. Ervis Lester, Guard, got a late start, but at the close of the season he represented R. H. S. in two State Tournaments and he proved himself worthy of his position. He is a good jumper with good head work. He will be a valuable man for R. H. S. next year. Paul Bailey, known as a “Giant Center,” out jumped and out played every center he came in contact with this season, his size made him a hard man to guard and it was an impossibility for his opponent to keep him from scoring Bailey will be with us another year. Logan Baker, the all round man, could play any position. He will be one of the strongest contenders for a position on the team next year. He showed up well the first of the season, but had to drop off the team after a severe attack of the flu. He has three years to represent R. H. S. Floyd Allison, Guard, a real strong man, not fast but always in the game. He never fergot to pass the ball and his team work made him one of our most valuable men. He has two more years to represent R. H. S. Charlie Barry, Forward, never had much to say but cauld deliver the goods when called upon for a score. RECORD OF BOYS BASKET BALL R. R. R. R. H. S. 28 H.

We came out victorious and the proud possessors of the silver loving cup presented by H. F. Allen. « 1920 73 liinpij THE HUSH SI1 KINGS ?— HOGUE COUNTY’S REST TRACK MAN Claud Hogue, who it is said has the reputa- tion of being able to run down jack rabbits has lived up to this reputation for another year. He has run second to none in every race he has en- tered, and can boast of showing his heels to every track man, who entered against him this year. We are certainly proud of Claud and his record and expect him to do greater things next year. At the County Track Meet he easily won the all round medal entering six race-s and placing first in each. The events were, fifty yard dash, one hundred yard dash, two twenty yard dash, four forty yard dash, two twenty low hurdles and one hundred twenty yard high hurdles. 1920 J 74 Harold Huntley Gerald Harper Lawrence Coyle Lucius Long James Fleetwood Floyd Allison Jack Ross Bryan Tidwell Jabe Tidwell The boys were anxious to begin base ball this year.

They also had to “dry crack” a few of the boys. In memory of the departed brethern and sistern, Mr. Allen ren- dered, “I didn’t raise my Ford to be a jitney.” After which Ervis Letter gave his monthly report on the good work in Brazil, saying, Brazil Nutts were plentiful, only a dollar a pound.

Miss Hart: (with her bit of temper) I beg your pardon, Mr. Allen, but I think I have a perfect right to u-se this phone to order music for my vocal class. Miss Michaelson: What latin word does peddal come from—we get pedestrain from that too. Georgia: We never had that in latin, Miss Michaelson, no, I sup- pose not, that is an English word.

Mr. Allen. “What way?” he asked, frowning. Mrs. Allen: “You said then you’d go through fire and water for me, and now you refuse me money.” Mr. Allen: “But I never said I’d go through bankruptcy for you.” “Willie Dear,” said Miss Michaelson, “I have been informing myself on current affairs.” “Have you indeed?” “Yes, I know the difference between a standpatter and a progres- sive.” Willie: “I should like to have your idea of it.” Miss Michaelson: “A standpatter is a person who comes to a stop and can’t be started, and a progressive is one who gets started and can’t be stopped.” DEDICATED TO OUR FACULTY 80 THE RUSH SPRINGS SB Annie Lester: “Do you think I could ever sell any of my poetry to a magazine?” Mr. Gasaway: “Well of course some day your batch of stuff might arrive just after a fire, when they ha dto have some poetry and have it quick.” Sophomore: Writing home for money.
