Here we are big Seniors at last, but it really doesn't seem like any time since we were all charging up the steps of Cameron and Washington. Boy, we really thought we were big, QI guess we still doj because really we haven't changed much. Those who made it up the steps to Cameron were Dwain Binderim, Tom Crouse, Bob Doty, Mickey Dunn, Happy Jewel, Jerry IOTIH, Jimmy LOFCUZHIO. Joe Lvwrance. Jimmy Murphy, Richard Schwake, William Reagan, ' ' s, Gena Braden, Mary Beth Chaffin, lkey Denman, Linda Dudley, Donna Johnson, Pat Little, Dorthy Pope, Mary Ann Potes, Gayle Watson, and Jerry Wells. Those to Washington were Mike Carr, Cecil Davis, Eugene Edwards, Jim Girod, Burl Peveto, Earl Dean Ratliff, Dee White. Linda Beller, Dorothy Caves, Sylvia Clary, Virginia Dilbeck, Dianne Dugger, Margaret Kirby, Patsy Lawrence. and Dorothy Suther. I guess Dianne Dugger just never did get over liking boys named Jimmy, because remember in the first grade when she and Pudgy used to fight over who would get to walk Jimmy Girod home from school? In the second grade, Ikey, Donna, Bob Doty, and Jerry Williams decided they didn't like Cameron, so they went to Washington. We also lost Tom Crouse to Dougherty and Jerry Wells to Chickasha, Cameron was not at much of a loss though because they gained Jerry Runyan from Joy, Cecil Davis from Washington, Earlene Blagg from Los Angeles, La Donna Jones from Drake, and Linda Beller from Washington, but Linda hadn't seemed to settle down yet and she was soon off to Albuquerque, New Mexico. f' H A The third grade was really an exciting year! We didn't lose anyone out of our class this year and Jerry Wells just couldn't stay aw ay from us. He rejoined us at Cameron, while Barbara Nelson came to Cameron from Armona, California, and Jerry Williams switched from Washington to Cameron, William Reagan and Dorothy Pope switched from Cameron to Washington this year, also. . Well, we finally made it to the fourth grade. Joining us this. year was Jerry Lee from Lubbock, Texas to Cameron. Washington must have acquireda pretty new teacher or something because switching from Cameron to Washington were Dwain Binderim, Jerry Well, La Donna Jones, Pat Little, Gayle Watson, and Barbara Nelson. In the fifth grade, nothing much happened . While Cameron was recuperating, Washington was gaining some cultural background . Joining us this uneventful year were Tommy Crouse from Nebo to Cameron, Glenn Haines from Velma -Alma to Washington, Gary Hefner from Oklahoma City to Cameron, and Russell Lewis from Granite to Washington. Dwain Binderim, William Reagan, and Jerry Wells changed back from Washington to Cameron. The sixth grade and twelfth were somewhat alike in that girls played ball both years. Coming this year to help us out were Karen Leming from Oklahoma City to Washington, Tom Wade from Byng to Cameron, Reba Payne from Mill Creek to Cameron. Delores Parker from Muskogee to Cameron and Pat Denney from Duncan to Cameron. Glenn Haines and Dorothy Caves decided Cameron needed some help, so they swapped schools. If we thought we were big in the first grade. well, that didn't even compare to how big we thought we were in the seventh. Our only addition this year was Gaylene Gaylor from Dougherty. Here we were, at last in High School, of all things. Joining us our eighth grade year were Jack Reeves from Tampa, Florida, Reba Payne from Mill Creek, and Barbara Reynolds from Prairie View. Mary Beth Chaffin had a yearn to go West this year and moved to Empire, California, but then she decided she liked us again and returned in the same year. Ffa-lf' -'

Gary Hefner is one of the top ten singers from Oklahoma. He, along with Reba Payne, who opened the Copenhagen Cabana Restaurant at Canaveral Port in Florida seven years ago, will furnish refreshments. Pat Little and Gayle Watson were called away from their annual Ping-Pong meet to come to our reunion. Pat and Gayle were both awarded the All-American Ping-Pong Championship trophy by the referee Glenn I-laines. Glennhas been recognized by the Sportsin Shorts Association as the best referee of 1970 since he is able to see all Evil--hear all Evil--but speak no Evil. Sylvia Clary seems to be doing just fine as secretary to the secretary of the treasury on Splendor Island where dreams came true for Dorothy Caves who is now editor of Caves' Lovelife, and Lipstick Romance Magazines. We got permission from Bill Rutledge who is now the warden at the penitentiary on Devil's Island to allow Dwain Binderim to come to Bimbombay. Dwain was on the Line Up in 1960 for aiding a known criminal to escape by means of a stolen vehicle. i The Kork Dankees welcomed Jerry Lee, Joe Lowrance, and Jim Lorenzino to their team this last summer and since that time they have been known to win every game they played. But of course it could not have been possible without the expert guidance of the present day manager, Denny Dutch Hudson. The curtains are opened and the spot-light is on Joe Jewell, our M,C, for the evening. Joe has traveled all over the country announcing in his 3 ring circus La La 8a Lo Lo the elephant girls, Patsy Lawrence and Linda Hale, once voted Miss Yak-Yaks of '59.

-,W Y-nw J ' ' ' 1194? H ' 511455 H!5'!'0!?l' In our Freshman year, we gained Bill Rutledge from Elk City, Judi Wood from Greenville, South Carolina, and Patsy Watson from Dougherty. Well, here we were, back in High School again. In our Sophomore year, we were used to being in Senior High School and had settled down somewhat, In our Junior year, we just didn'tdo anything except lose Student Council elections and gain Larry Chandler from Oklahoma City, Don Lee from Anadarko, Gaylene Gaylor from Davis, and Bill Rutledge back from Elk City. This year we were thinking and couldn't remember ever having the Queen of anything from our class. We felt this was somewhat of a bad record, so we went after them and got nearly all of them. Coming to help us win these this year were Kenneth Low from Davis, Bill Rutledge from Elk City, Linda Beller from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Linda Hale from Mill Creek, Reba Payne from Mill Creek, and Barbara Reynolds from Bridge Port, Texas. We have also been very active in clubs and organizations this year with the Seniors being the leaders of many of them. Up to the present we stand as follows: seven on the Bulldog Staff with Mary Ann as Editor, ten on the Hi-Ways Staff with Ikey as Editor, nine in S Club with Jerry Runyan as President, twelve in Pep Club with La Donna Jones as President, seven in Band with Ikey and Gena as Twirlers, eight in O,H,S, , eight in N,H,S., nineteen in Girls' Glee Club, fifteen in Mixed Chorus, eleven in F,F,A, with Joe Lowrance as President, eighteen inF.l-l.A. with five officers, eight in Spanish Club, six Librarians and Student Projection- ists, nine on the Football Team with Happy Jewell and Jerry Runyan as Captains, also Jerry Runyan and Jerry Wells made All -District 3A, six on the Baseball Team, six on the Basketball Team with Jerry Wells and Denny Hudson as Captains, three on the Track Team, seven in the Photo Klicks with Ikey Denman as Presidentg Jerry John and Joe Lowrance as Vice -Presidents, and Patsy Watson as Secretary of Student Council. We were not to be left out of the smaller groups by any means, we had four Cheerleaders, three in Girls' Quartet, two inGirls' Trio, one in Boys' Quartet, and the F,H,A, Sextet is composed of all Senior girls. Now for our Queens: Gena Braden started things off by winning F.F.A, Sweetheart, then Ikey Denman was elected Band Queen, Donna Johnson took Football Queen, then Delores Parker was unanimously elected S Club Sweetheart, Perry Como liked the looks of Mary Beth Chaffin and chose her as Annual Queen, and Barbara Reynolds was chosen as Photo Club Queen. H So you see, we started out with a bang and ended up with one and of course there were a lot of happy times and memories in between. So now, it is about time for us to leave your midst and also for our history as stu- dents at Sulphur to come to a close. We the Senior Class of 1959 willfully and a bit sorrowfully, falthough we won't admit ity submit this history to you and wish you the best of luck, and hope in the rest of your school days you have as much fun as we did.
