H!J'!'0f9l' The class of '58 has the distinction of being the largest graduating class in the history of SHS. We are proud to say that we have stuck together and won more honors than any one other class in our school history. Proudly and humbly we submit this history of our class. We were a confident and sassy group as we marched up the steps of Washington and Cameron. Jr. Barton, Lyle Brooks, Glenda Callaway, Bob Chaffin, Flora Del Cotter, Terry Gentry, Lynda Lu Lewis. Kenny Lowrance, Kenny Robb, Linda Scott, Bernice Vickrey, Diane Wrenn, Allan Wynn, and last but not least, David Cox, started their school careers at Cameron. Washington had such scholars as Wilma Brown, Jerry Cagle, Rita Hill, Jimmy Hurt, Sharon Johnson, Don Kirby. Jim FrCdriCkSOH. Gary Godard, Lynda Wehtuit Lewis, Carol Parker, Sue Richards, John Runyan, Pat Spindle, and Jan Spradling. Jimmy Hurt had, and still has, a wonderful talent for driving teachers crazy. His favorite method of torturing Mrs. King was throwing his books out the window and then telling her he had lost them. Some of the kids didn't seem to like Sulphur. Jr. Barton moved to Barnsdale, John Runyan to Joy, and Gary Godard left us to go to Oklahoma City. In the second grade Cameron gained Dwight Brown from Wapanucka, Pat Stephens from Skiatook, and Sharon Johnson decided to see how she liked things over Cameron way. Glenda Callaway took Sharon's place at Washington. Washington gained Pat Clark from Stillwater, John Runyan back from Joy, and Glenda Vannoy from Oklahoma City in the third grade. Cameron gained Sue Kahlor from Palmer, Carolyn Watson from Drake, and Jr. Barton back from Barnsdale. Carolyn Watson, being slightlyfoot-loose, soon left for Arizona. David Cox seems to have been quite a little rascal that year. His mother always had to keep him in after school and give him paddlings. Wefinally learned enough of our multiplication tables to be pushed on to the fourth. This year we gained Mary Allen from Oklahoma City, Sue Pauley from Lawton, and Carolyn Watson back from Arizona. Jr. Barton came back to Washington and Billy Jack Moore came from Asher. This year it was popular to pay the boys to like you, especially with Sharon Johnson. We started our fifth year with a big fight between Pat Spindle and Jan. It seems Billy Jack was quite a handsome devil, and both girls wanted him to be their boyfriend. Jan won, but soon threw him over for Gary. Lyle Brooks and Glenda Vannoy moved to Washington and little fat Flo White came from Davis. Betsy Lewis also enrolled at Washington, coming from Granite. The great Bob Do-Do Donaho moved from Arizona to go to Cameron. Our only loss this year was Gary to Rocky, Okla. This was also the Romance Year at Cameron. Diane and Paul Danyeur started going steady and didn't break up for two years! Ah! Our last year in grade school. Washington gained Dewey Beavers from Ada, Jeanne Gallemore from Muskogee, Brenda Stover from Wanette, Almeda Day from Big Canyon, and Gary back from Rocky. Betsy Lewis went to Cameron one day and decided she didn't like it, so she went back to Washington. Sue Richards, Rita, Jerry Cagle, and Lyle went back to Cameron. Also moving to Cameron were Don Coyle from California, Phyllis Coats from Iona, and Jimson Nelson from Hickory. Carol Parker left for Oklahoma City. Poor Lyle! Mary Allen didn't seem to appreciate him, even with his good looks. He ran into her trying to catch a baseball at recess, and she slapped him for it. The seventh grade was quite the year. The bitter enemies were about to get together under one roof. We didn't stay enemies very long. After a few weeks we began speaking to one another and we were soon real good friends. To prove it, when a Washington girl, Jan Spradling, ran for football queen we ALL worked our -A--Arr - ei-nr-A -A-we V --

The Shady Shufflers are Herby Howe, Dwight Brown, and Johnie Reed. They pack a mean deck. Edgar Smith's addition to our little city was a furniture store. Joe Wright and Allan Wynn are his salesmen. Allan slaves seven days a week saving his 12 U24 an hour, so he and Phyllis can get married. Joe, a confirmed bachelor, is saving his eamings so he can go into the Bachelor Button business. Smith 's store furnishes Sue and Ir. Barton with their baby beds. CThey buy a new one every year.J Iimson Nelson and his wife, Wilma are also good customers. Fred Miller is head salesman for our most prosperous factory Spindle 's Doorknobs. They've made Pat a fancy free millionaire. We are sorry to say that one of our group didn't seem to like Mars. She is taking the only way outg walk- ing the tight rope back home. f Jeannie missed the green oldsmobile. J Leo West may be seen any aftemoon puttering around in his little garden. It seems he and his wife, the former Flora Del Cotter, met through a mutual interest of the sweetpea. Meanwhile back at the ranch. Betsy Lewis has staked out three million acres. She calls this little jewel Slokum's Stables. Paul Horton, Jerry Cagle, and Don Kirby are her cowpunchers. Don has just perfected a herd of mechanical cows. Punch a button and they give coke. Whoever heard of teenagers drinking milk? Station M-A-R-Z, located atop beautiful Mount Bromide, is owned and operated by Colonel Joe Hilliarda His Disk Jockey is Steve Dilbeck. The Symphony Hour , on every day from 4:00-5:00, features Sue Kahlom violinist, and Pat Stephens, flutist. The cats really dig that jive. Poor Sharon just couldn 't stand the trip. We had to build an old folks home for her when we arrived. We call it Granny's Gables. As everybody knows, no town is complete without a school. The school we built for our children is SLIGHT- LY different from our old Alma Mater. David Cox, our dignified principal, has declared there will be fifty-five minute coke breaks and five minute classes. The school candy store is run by Benny Shelton. My Stars! How can Mars make such wonderful candy bars? Study hall is now known as Dance Hall. Donnie Thomison and Don Coyle conduct this class. Ian Spradling is the music teacher. She always did like to direct the chorus. Glenda Vannoy is the wrestling coach. Lectures on How to Overcome Your Shyness , by Brenda Stover and Love-Making in Public by Linda Scott Gibbard are given each week. Rita Hill, who was always so fond of speech in high school has taken over the speech department. She also conducts special classes in How to Make Young Servicemen Feel at Home. Physical Development for Girls is taught by Billy jack Moore. That was always what he wanted most in life - 10tS Of girls. Bernice Vickrey and Diane Wrenn are the truant officers. They are experts at finding the hangouts of hooky-players since they had so much experience during high school. Our Board of Education is still lying down on the job. Bob Chaffin, President makes three speeches a day on Why Seniors Shouldn't Take Trips. George Lee, Vice-President and other members, Harold Cauldle, Kenny Lowrance, and Dewey Beavers agree with him 10070.

We also won Annual Queen and Sue Richards was Band Queen and Mary Allen, Rodeo Sweetheart. All the twirlers were Sophomores.

Our final touch of the year was the Jr. -Sr. Banquet, so beautiful that it will never be forgotten by those who attended. Our last year in High School.
