May you press forward until you have made a maximum contribution to human welfare. Fourteen JAMES L. PRINCE G. C. CORN ELI SON Principal HEN we let feeling determine our attitudes and actions and substitute emotion for thought, we do not like to admit it even to ourselves. To do so would be to lose self-esteem. So we rationalize our behavior. Even when we try the hardest to ignore our feelings and put aside our prejudices, we are apt to find logical reasoning difficult. If we are keenly aware that logical thinking is easier said than done, we shall be on guard against our own mistakes and alert for the errors made by others. G. C.

BOMGARDNER Mr. Bomgardner came to Sapulpa in 1942. He has been very successful in turning out football teams capable of giving a good account of themselves. He is our athletic director and head coach. When he is not busy on the athletic field, he may be found in the gym directing physical education classes. Mr. Bomgardner was a three-letter man in his high schools days at Minco. He is a graduate of Oklahoma A. and M. College. FOOTBALL FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 1947 Norman .... .

SOCKLER Mr. Sockler came to Sapulpa from Guthrie High School where he coached football. He was coach at Robinson, Illinois, prior to coaching at Guthrie. He is a graduate of East Illinois State Teachers College. The Chieftain line, under Mr. Sockler’s instruction, played some very good football. He teachers Oklahoma History in the high school. HARRY SOCKLER Assistant Coach Fifty-three The Sapulpa Chieftains went to Norman on September 19, for their first game of the season. Here, the Chieftains were handed their first defeat by the score of 14 to 0. The boys played a good game despite the fact that most of the team was inexperienced. On September 26, the second game of the season was played at Sand Springs. The Chieftains were again defeated, the Sandites chalking up a score of 6 against Sapulpa’s 0. On October 3, the Chieftains went on the warpath again, this time at Okmulgee. They were defeated by a score of 14-0. This was the first conference game of the season. Sapulpa football fans received their biggest thrill of the season when the Chieftains tied Daniel Webster by a score of 7-7 on October 10. However, Webster was given the decision on penetrations. Dennis Phipps surely earned a place in some hall of fame for making the first touchdown of the season for the Chieftains. On October 17, the Chieftains went to Bartlesville to play their third conference Fifty-four game. The Wildcats defeated our boys by a score of 19-0. After one week’s vacation, the Chieftains again started their mad fight for victory. This time they battled with the Will Rogers Ropers at Holmes Park. They again lost by a score of 12-0. On November 7, the Chieftains played the Bristow Purple Pirates. The team tried very hard to defeat the Pirates. They wanted this game and THE TROPHY. However, the Chieftains lost to the Pirates by a score of 13-7. Having lost eight games, the Chieftains were determined to win the ninth. On November 14, they met Muskogee in Holmes Park. The Chieftains put up a good fight, but Muskogee walked off with a 13-7 victory. On November 21, the Chieftains were handed their greatest defeat of the year by Tulsa Central. The team seemed to have lost all hope of victory. They were matched against great odds and were defeated by a score of 21-0 in the last game of the season. Fifty-five BASEBALL AND TRACK Sapulpa students once again were privileged to hear the crack of ash against horsehide—to hear pounding feet coming around the track. For several years Sapulpa participated only in football and basketball. The High School Athletic Association passed a ruling eliminating spring football practice, putting in baseball instead. Sapulpa has not had a track team in several years, all emphasis being placed on football and basketball. Coach Bomgardner had about thirty candidates for positions on the baseball team to report for practice. After cutting-down time, the following boys survived the axe: Kenneth Adair, Jack Arnold, Bill Ausmus, John Black, Bob Bassinger, Morris Brock, Charles Dodson, James Deason, John Dore-mus, Edward Fenska, Bill Hickey, Wayne Hurt, Billy Jackman, Bill Long, James Oldenhage, John Prince, Bill Ward, Bob Starr, J. C. Franks, Charles Oakes, Roy Deason, Bobby Bush, Floyd Ball, and Bobby Willibey. Coach Sockler was fortunate in having such a wealth of material reporting for track. We must keep in mind, though, that this material is inexperienced. Not a boy had been in any previous track competition. From this squad of green material the following boys have been selected for these entries: 100—220 DASH Ronald Hendricks Jim Kendall Elmer Warren Jack McCullough Bennie Linkhart 440 RUN Dick Hand Charles Rush James Snider Dan Lawson Edward Gilliam 880 RUN Willis Jones Jack McMorris Bill Odell Larry Scott Eulis Rogers MILE RUN Bill Coy Jack McMorris John Davis Kippy East James Patterson HIGH HURDLES Charles Smith LOW HURDLES Dennis Phipps HIGH JUMP Willis Jones Dan Lawson POLE VAULT Boyd Crutchfield Ralph Beasley BROAD JUMP James Snider Elmer Warren SHOT PUT Arlen Bates Kenneth Baxter Ronald Blodgett DISCUS Arlen Bates Bill Young Fifty-six FIRST ROW—Ronald Hendricks, John Prince, Edward Griffin, Charles Dodson, Charles Rush, Ronnie Beaverson, Howard Crawford, Ralph Beasley, Charles Spurlock.

Students will remember Freddie Ruhl's bow tie flashing on and off; also his memorable piano playing. Jerry Miller, as Randolph, caused many, many laughs from the audience. The cast included: Jackie Sutton, Dan Moore, Mary Jo Harrison, Jerry Miller, Martha Matthews, Vivian Rider, Freddie Ruhl, Joy Gilliam, Don Davis, Virginia Cooper, Helen Berry, Nettie Benfield, Ralph Parke, Marilyn Murphy. OUR TOWN A play without sets or furniture? Yes, that's what the senior class had. Students will long remember Bessie, the horse, who wasn’t there; upstairs rooms they couldn’t see; and dead people who looked like live flesh and blood. It all happened on April 22 and 23 when the seniors presented Our Town.” The cast included: Herbert Snider, Dan Moore, Bill Odell, Freddie Ruhl, Mary Jo Harrison, Cora Lee Pound, Bob Rivers, Marilyn Murphy, George Dixon, Gene Hiatt, J R- Johnston, Bill Ward, Julie McClellan, Joy Gilliam, Gene Brewer, Virginia Cooper, Ralph Parke, Paul Sumner, Bill Sheehan, Omar Naifeh, Roy Michael, Heinrich Schmidt, Dennis Phipps, Martha Matthews, Betty Jo Spurlock, Wilma McPhail, Margaret Much-more, Jackie Sutton, Marjorie Brown, Nettie Benfield, Helen Morelock, Dora Lee Rodgers, Georgealine Kinsey, Betty Clark, Betty Potter, Geraldine Roberts, Audra Upshaw, Margaret Simmermacher, Cloris Blankenship, Sue Ann Beatty, Joane Wade, Carolyn Whiteside, Rosalie Horn, Dorothy Brookshier.

Seventy-seven Blazing the underbrush Will she accept? The band played on— Three Gossipers Watching the cars go by Oh—that Look! Love at first sight The Farmers of S.H.S.” Seventy-eight CLASS PROPHECY We, the Do-Little-Duz-All” Sisters, have just concluded our survey of the local and far distant doin’s” of the old 1948 senior class of Sapulpa High School. In this survey we observed the great development of these characters' ” high ideals and ingenuity. We began our journey on our magic carpet ( Ole Faithful Hiccup,” having been unable to trade it in on a later model); our first stop was at a circus to which we were attracted by the voice of Sammy Lowe, the nightingale of the circus barbers. He was telling everyone to see the daring trapeze artists, who turned out to be Wilma McPhail, Joy Gilliam, Tommy Crisp, and Georgialene Kinsey. We decided to go in to see if there was anyone else there that we knew. There we saw Gene Hiatt, the fearless lion-tamer, taming a big brown cat—Tomcat, by name; Barbara Hammond, the lady who hangs by her teeth; Geneva Davis, the snake charmer; and Betty Lee, the daring bicycle rider. On our way to observe the fleas, we saw Helen Morelock tending to a baboon, an entry in a circus contest (his name was Gene). When we arrived at the fleas’ cage, we saw one enormous but shy creature crouched in the corner. Looking closer, we saw that it was only Bill Ward, now a toenail polisher in the flea section. As we passed a shooting gallery we saw that the target was none other than Dennis Phipps. We happened to pass Marjorie Brown who still spends all of her time worrying about what will happen next. She soon found out, as Audra Upshaw, a very attractive young widow with eleven children, came whizzing by riding horseback. We saw Geraldine Roberts selling dimple dolls, at Denny Esmond’s Dolla Day.” Next, we saw Helen Berry with a horsewhip, training gold-fish to swim backward. Shortly, we saw the world-famous ostrich jockey, Marvin Williams. On our way out we came face to face with Dorothy Brooner and Wanda Brooks, who finally persuaded us to let them black our shoes for one dollar. (They were in the black market business.) We stopped in Hollywood for a short time where we saw that Larry Parks is starred in the movie hit entitled The Life of Jerry Miller.” Mr. Miller, who still sings April Showers” and Mammy” on the side, is now busily engaged in publishing The Police Gazette,” an eyeful” of a magazine. We departed from sunny California and the circus and began our journey eastward. We decided to stop by old Sapulpa High and saw that it was progressing nicely with Vivian Rider sitting at a desk, her shoes off, teaching a class in Poise and Personality.” Her able assistants were Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Hellewell. Safety” is the school’s motto, as we soon found out when we started to get a drink of water. Paul Sumner and Dan Moore were on the job as lifeguards at the drinking fountains. The lifeguards were too busy to inform us about any of the remaining students still in Sapulpa, but Freddie Ruhl, who is now sole proprietor and owner of Wimpy’s Hamburger Joint,” told us the latest. He informed us that Bonnie Hamilton had become a radio star on the program, John’s Other Wife.” Roy Michael is her announcer; he advertises that famous Glo-Blo Bubble Gum.” Colleen Wilson and her husband, Bob Alberding, have made themselves a peaceful home on Apple Street-North Apple Street to be exact. Freddie also told us that half the kids in Sapulpa High School now are the children of Mr. and Mrs. Gail Laid-ley, the former Dora Jeane Weaver. Reba Mae Wadley and Betty Clark are now the star reporters of The Sapulpa Herald,” with Dora Lee Rodgers as their principal advertisers. She is trying to get her husband elected senator. Jay Rawdon is a football coach at the high school, but he still has a hard time keeping Pat Corgan and Stanley Wells, who expect to graduate within the next five years, off the field. Freddie also informed us that George Dixon and Rosalie Horn are living in South America, because of their health. To make things right, they took a nurse along—Betty Potter. About that time, Freddie was interrupted by a news flash over the radio. It announced that the Big Four” (Bill Odell, Heinrich Schmidt, Don Davis, and Wayne Seay) was trying to make peace negotiations with Premier Joseph Stalin and Premier Harry Patty; the latter is now the leader of Lower Slob-ovia. Jack and Dee Jones have put in a pet shop next door to Betty Spurlock’s cafe. The pets can easily live on all the good food she throws away. James Hibbard and Fletcher Guinn have a shoe repair store. They have plenty of business from Bobby Brents and Albert Bradley, who are insurance salesmen and can’t afford a car. Marvin Lutz and Ralph Parke have taken over the old Lawrence Cigar Store. People say they are about to smoke themselves out of business. Willa Mae Williams and La Verne Standley joined the Old Maids’ Club, but Joan Burdick and Lillian Mason are getting along just lovely as housekeepers for their husbands. Maxine Crawford and Betty Brock are still going in circles around the skating rink at Dixieland. This concluded Freddie’s report on our fellow classmates, and we got aboard Old Faithful Hiccup” and sailed toward Chicago. Here, we found Frances Brentlinger modeling the clothes Julia McClellan designs. You should have seen those clothes and what was in them. Seventy-nine Now, let me see—” Tree-boy They surely look ambitious Why so gloomy? I ain’t got nobody” Don’t let her fool you Don’t you go telling me how to—” Eighty We saw that our own Nadine Baker and Cloris Blankenship had made the headlines in the Chicago Times.” After a three months’ strike, they have finally consented to sign a contract with Herbert Snider, now head of the ULCG, which is the United Little Chorus Gals, agreeing to stay and dance in his musical show for three years! Now an old maid, Miss Mary Jo Harrison is the society leader of an organization to care for problem children. Upon entering a swanky restaurant for dinner, we found that the head waiter was none other than Bobby Groover. Soon the lights were dimmed, the air was quiet, and then like a meadow-lark's song, there came to us the sound of sweet music; it was our own Margaret Simmermacher singing that melancholy balad, It Ain't Gonna Rain No More.” Accompanying her were Daisy Messer and Floyd Schulte doing a nifty little ballet. Bobby Groover informed us of some very sad news just as we prepared to leave the restaurant. Sue Ann Beaty is going to the dogs” with her veterinarian husband, Bob Rivers. Bob was formerly an employee of the Slaveway Grocery Store” until they found out why all of the canned dog food was disappearing. The mad scientist, Calvin Ellis, is still fervently working on his Giggle Bait” to prevent people from laughing. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Lear (the former Helen Davis) are returning home from the west coast—but we missed them. The professor of the college in Chicago, Gent-Brewer, is recuperating from the mumps, as a result of too much strenuous work on the debate question, Is Bubble Gum Proper?” Walking down the- street, we saw a billboard with Donald Murphy’s picture staring us in the face. It was an advertisement announcing the annual concert to be presented by Donald and his Link-Lank Chorus Girls.” Three new members in his lineup were Pauline Hurt, Jean Jones and Lola Great-house. That night we attended a concert in Chicago and saw some more of our former classmates. There were Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Steaven-son (the former Ethel Nation) and J. R. Johnston, a handsome, wealthy bachelor. The first number was a dance by Marilyn Murphy and Omar Naifeh, accompanied by Martha Matthews playing the harmonica. We are sorry to say, though, that Omar’s performance was a little ragged—perhaps because of the kick his mule had given him the day before. The last number was a sensation, however; it was a performance by Gary Echols in The Flying Man.” The next morning, we left Chicago and journeyed to Washington, D. C., where we received a cordial welcome from the President, Ovid Stivers. Ovid is now completing a back porch on the White House, which was begun by President Truman several years ago. Billy James Taylor and Jack Williams are the President’s advisors. Upon visiting the Senate, we discovered the white-collar men, Dickie Baxter and Bobby Bell, filibustering to beat sixty! In the House of Representatives we found Dale Saylor representing our own state. In the Congressional Library we found two more of our old friends—Peggy Wells and Margaret Muchmore. We were surprised to learn that they were the head librarians. Peggy still has to use a step ladder to reach the books on the third shelves. As they showed us through the library, they told us many interesting events that we had not yet heard about the class of ’48. They informed us that Mr. and Mrs. Paul Alexander, the former Nettie Benfield, have made their home down by the Potomac River; and were very happy with Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Lear, the former Jackie Sutton, as next door neighbors. Margaret also informed us that the President had appointed a new Secretary of State —Bill Sheehan. It was heart-breaking, however, to learn that Mr. Sheehan had overworked his poor secretary, Joane Wade, who is now in Florida enjoying a well-earned rest. Miss Wade was replaced by Carolyn Whiteside, a member of The Forlorn Lovers’ Club.” After leaving the library, we tried to get an interview with Floyd Stephens, head of the Department of Agriculture, but to our disappointment, we learned that he had been called to Oklahoma to control the boll weevils in Farmer Brown's cotton patch. It was no other than Farmer Thomas Brown who still resides on his plantation in Kcllyville. We left Washington and departed for little old New York the next day. As we were walking down Broadway, a big six-door Cadillac stopped. A voice from inside the car (which belonged to no other than Dixie Lee George) told us to get in and go with her to the big boxing match at Madison Square Garden. We accepted her offer, and saw' a fierce battle between Cecil Ralston vs. Bobby Clark. However, we were very unfortunate in obtaining seats behind Virginia Cooper and Ellen June Dunbar. What time they weren’t jumping up and down in excitement they were cracking peanuts, so loud we could scarcely see or hear what wras going on. After the boxing match we went to the Waldorf Hotel for a chat and a bite to eat. The cutest little waitress came over to our table. Looking the second time, w'e recognized Freda Bogard. Freda told us there was to be a wonderful floor show. A w'onderful floor show' it was!! Juanita Hooker, accompanied by Dorothy Brookshier, sang two of the more popular numbers, There’s a New Moon” and Little Indian Never Die.” We also enjoyed a tap dance by Evelyn Alsup. The next morning, we arose early and departed for home via our magic carpet, Old Faithful Hiccup,” in order to be able to bring you this late analysis of the new's.” Eighty-onc What’s cookin’? Boy, look what we caught!” One for the money, Two for the show— What shape! This is ONE of my Jazy days Let’s all laugh Couple of Casanovas Eighty-two % . � LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the members of the senior class, 1948, Sapulpa High School, Sapulpa, Oklahoma, being of sound mind and physical alertness (mostly the latter), and desirous of making disposition of our characteristics before departing to that realm toward which we have been awaiting, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, cancelling all other wills made by us at any other time.
