A new class room building was finished and equipped last summer to take care of the needs of the pupils in grades ten, eleven, and twelve. This has relieved the crowded con- dition that has existed in the other two classroom buildings. The first six grades are hous- ed in the grade school build- ing. There are two teachers for each of the first five grades. Each of the teachers have from twenty-four to thirty pupils in her room. There are thirty-nine pupils enrolled in the sixth grade un- der the instruction of one teacher. The seventh, eighth, and ninth grades are operating as a Junior High School in which the subject offerings are de- partmentalized in each subject taught. The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade subjects, with the exception of music, home economics and agricul- ture, are taught in the new building. The Waynoka school plant consists of five buildings, ade- quately equipped to take care of the present needs. These buildings and equipment have an estimated value of $235,- 000.00. The school dstrict is com- posed of 243 square miles with a valuation of $2,333,976.00� . An additional 108 square miles are served by our buses in transporting transferred pupils to this school. The school has operated this year with a bud- get of $96,000.00. Of this amount $70,540.00 have been used for teachers salaries; $12,- 500 for transportation; and $12,960 for maintenance. The principle sources from which money comes to support this budget are local taxes, state apportionment, and transfer fees from rural districts. The Waynoka schools received $21,- 432.00 from the state appro- priation this year. A general school levy of 20 mills was made on the property valua- tion for school purposes. A sinking fund levy of three mills was required this year to be- gin paying the $95,000.00 indebtedness that was voted in 1948. The rural taxpayer in the Waynoka district paid a total of 30.8 mills on each dol- lar of assessed taxable proper- ty. Of this amount 23 mills were used to support schools and 7.8 mills to support Coun- ty government. The people SUPERINTENDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT Tenth Successful Year E. B. C A WOOD, Superintendent ★ living in town paid an addi- tional 28.35 mills to help re- tire city bonded indebtedness. A total of 210 pupils have enrolled in high school this year and 410 have enrolled in grade school. The high school has an average attendance of 193 and the grade school aver- age is 375. The average at- tendance has increased over ★ ★ last year by nine pupils. Twenty-five teachers are employed to instruct the pupils of school age and two instruc- tors, who have degrees in agriculture are instructing forty-eight farmers who are enrolled in the Veterans Agri- culture Training Program. Facilities of the vocational agriculture department are ★ THE NEW WAYNOKA HIGH SCHOOL used by the veteran classes. Textbooks and other supplies are purchased by the govern- ment for their use. Two of the above twenty-seven teach- ers have Master’s degrees, twenty-one have Bachelor’s de- grees, and four are teaching on certificates issued on less than 120 college hours. Two of the four teachers who do not have degrees will receive their degrees this summer. Only two teachers on the faculty will not have degrees next year. At least one addi- tional teacher will be added to the faculty next year because of enrollment. Two of the pre- sent faculty members will not return next school year. The district is operating six buses to transport children to and from school. These buses travel 136 miles twice a day and haul an average of 165 pupils. Plans for the future are to purchase one additional bus, when funds are available, to relieve the two buses east of town of their overload. The high school was accre- dited with thirty-one units during the past year. There were four units in English, one in Speech, three units in His- tory, four units in Science, four in Mathematics, four in Home Economics, four in Agriculture, four in Commerce, one in Democracy, and two in Music. Band, Orchestra, Boys and Girls glee club, Speech, Dra- matics, as well as Health and Physical Education are avail- able to pupils who want them. The. latest and one of the most important projects of tho school has been the school lunch program. With the great assistance of the P.T.A. equip- ment has been added so that the lunch room has adequately functioned this year. Three ladies, with the help of some students during the serving hour, have served lunches to an average of 150 pupils. A total of $2,000.00 has been spent in equipping the lunch room. Two men, who work twelve months, take care of the build- ings and grounds of the school. During the time school is in session, two boys have assist ed them with sweeping the buildings. We take this opportunity to thank you for your very hearty cooperation in building for you a fine school plant. Your school has a well rounded and well balanced curriculum and we are proud to serve you. WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS ★ WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS BOB MORGAN Son of Mrs. Inez Morgan.

After we had been tossed from one grade to another in grade school we all began working for one goal—to hurry and get out of this “place.” We had literally grown up over night”, we weren’t little kids any more. At last after eight long years we were freshmen. Those on the freshmen roll were: Vera Mae Stevens, LaVaughn Lak- ey, Wanda Fay McKenna, Florence Mast, Oleta Miller, LaVaun Nicholson, Dixie Lee Pierce, Beatrice Ramirez, Mar- garet Silvertooth, Berna Dean Seaman, Darlene Taylor, Dean Bolar, Carl Carberry, Eddie Joe Dexter, Max Ferguson, Billy Fritsch, Pat Fuson, Earl Gam- ble, Clyde Hill, Curtis Hoover, Casey Jones, Sammy Kysar, Darrell Lane, Jack Litzell, Charles McNally, Billy Mar- tin, Bob Morgan, Billy Murray, Bill O’Connor, Karol Pierce, Tad Thornhill, Kenneth Zook, Virginia Armour, Nona Arn- old, Patsy Bay, Ann Callaway, Patsy Brown, Dorothy Crusin- WHS WHS W CLASS HISTORY Passing The First Mi berry, Frances Darnell, Erpal Dean Davidson, Dorothy Dupy, Opal Ealey, Eva Jean Ellis, Colleen Fiscus, Jessie Franco, Aileen Gunning, Joan Harmon, Jean Keffer, Ella Mae Krob, Joyce Milledge, Carl Dodd and LaVina Milledge. The first week of our fresh- man career was one we’ll nev- er forget. We were a horrid sight, the girls running around with their hair pulled up through tin cans and wearing tow sacks. Best of all though were the boys who shook every time a belt whizzed through the air; of course there were a few brave ones that took the punishment like green freshmen should. During the year we also gave our first high school play “Billy’s First Date.” Our sponsors this year were Miss Joachims, and Mr. Flet- cher. After nine hard months of work and three months vaca- tion we entered classes again as big sophomores. We could set back and laugh this year, IS WHS WHS W lestone We were gradually becoming upper classmen. As the roll was taken we found we had lost: Joyce Mil- ledge, Curtis Hoover, LaVina Milledge, Carl Dodd, Erpal Dean Davidson, and Jessie Franco. t , The new classmates we gain- ed were; Derrell Benson, Doyle Bay, J. D. Sprague, John L. Sullivan, Rozclla Curtis and Elizabeth Bauler. A new thing was added to our school this year, Miss Clapper organized the boys glee club and choir. They all took part and seemed to en- joy it. To the most of us there was one class that was really ex- citing. It was in Mr. Dearing’s Biology class. He was actually teaching us how to look through the miscroscope and to cut the head off of a mosquito. Golly, but the class was proud of Charles McNally when he cut two heads off in one day. Our sponsors this year were Mrs. Briggs and Mr. Dale May- nard. HS WHS WHS W Well it’s May and school is out again. Just think next year we’ll be Juniors. 1948 and now we’re just one step from our goal. Our Jun- ior year was no different to us than it had been for the Junior’s ahead of us. It was our busiest year. This was the year we studied jokes the night before instead of American history so we could trade them with Mr. Turvey the next day. But we’ll have to admit he was a good history teacher. In March we presented our annual Junior play. After so much griping and hard work we finally presented “Strictly Confidential.” It was very suc- cessful. Early in the spring we were as busy as little beavers. For the most part we were run- ning up and down the I.O.O.F. Hall stairs trying to get things ready for our banquet. The rest of the time we were all trying to think of something that should be done during class hours. We hammered and painted and finally it was completed. The theme we (Continued on next page) HS WHS WHS co W £ co K £ co a £ CO a £ co a CLASS OF 50 EDDIE JOE DEXTER We hope you’ll float through life with the greatest of happiness.

The theme was carried out in blue and white and the windows were covered and made into port- holes. We can’t say it was a com- plete success the first night, as I'm sure we all well rem- ember, but after two tries we had finally launched our ship completely. We all had a grand time dancing to the music of Rex Benedict’s orchestra. As the heads were counted this year we found Doyle Bay, Clyde Hill, Patsy Brown, Dar- rell Lane, Dorothy Crusinberry, Frances Darnell, Beatrice Ramirez, Berna Dean Seaman and Elizabeth Bauler were not with us any longer. We gained Vivian DeVilbiss this year. Our sponsors this year were Mr. Turvey, Miss Joachims and Mrs. Harris. Again school is out and af- ter three months vacation we’re entering school again. At last! We made it! After twelve long years of laughter, tears, and hard work we’re Seniors. The big shots of the place. It’s funny but we had so many ideas about being dignified Seniors but we don’t feel a bit older than we did the day we entered high school. We were all pretty disap- pointed this year when we learned there would be no ini- tiation. The grades were split up and a Junior High was or- ganied. But we’re very proud to be able to say we were the first class to graduate from the new high school. In December we presented our extra colossal senior play, “Mystery At Midnight.” Our basketball team was something to be proud of this year, with a better than aver- age showing. Even though the score wasn’t always in our favor we’re proud of our boys. As we look out over the class we find that only eight of us have completed our full twelve years in the Waynoka school. They are: Vera Mae Stevens, Dorothy Dupy, Jean Keffer, Sammy Kysar, Darlene Taylor, LaVaughn Lakey, Pat Fuson, and Billy Martin. Now at the end of twelve long years we can close our books and go out into the world on our own. Some will continue their education and the others will choose differ- ent trades. In spite of all the heartaches we’ve had and shared we’ll always look upon our diplomas as a symbol of the happiest years of our lives. Hey Dean are you trying to teach Karma to drive? It might help if you would sit on your side of the car. Say Richard C., what is this we hear that Mr. Wright is saying about you and Lois B. sitting so close together? Any- thing to it? We wonder why Evan E., Kirk C., Donnie N. and Everett H. left at the end of the first game and went to Dacoma? It couldn’t have been because Freedom was over there could it? J. E., were you walking Bill O’Connor and Flora Good home Friday night after the game about 2:00 o’clock or was it because Jean Hullet was along? Bob Johnson, what happen- ed to your eye? What girl did that? Please tell us boys so we won’t end up with an eye like yours. HS WHS WHS W Mr. Wright: “Before we be- gin the examination are there any questions?” Charley McNally: “What’s the name of the course?” Miss Joachims: “I’d like to try on that hat over there.” Salesman: “I’m sorry mam but that is a lamp shade.” “Charles McNally”, said Mrs. Briggs, “Why don’t you wash your face?” I can see what you had for breakfast this Charles: “What was it?” Mrs. Briggs: “Eggs.” Charles: “Wrong teacher, that was yesterday.” Bob Morgan, can’t Janet say anything except “I ain’t going to do it.” Why don’t Elvin and Beth want a ride home after the dance Firday night? Are those streets pretty dark up that way Elvin? Say Marilue we see a far away look in your eyes. Texas is quite away off isn’t it? Janet have you and Bob been out to see the tool shed again?

I just received a letter from her, would you like to hear it? Dear Mother: I am having a lot of success in finding the graduates of 1950 and am enjoying every bit of my trip. As I drove into Waynoka the first thing I saw was a new sign in front of the fun- eral home. It seems that Pat Fuson has gone into business with his father-in-law. The sign now reads “Fuson and Darnall Funeral Home. As I went on to town I saw Patsy and Bill Martin and was surprised to see him still handing out cigars but it was an even greater shock to hear that he wasn’t a father this time but a grandfather. I found Tad Thornhill still a member of the Senior Class in good old Waynoka Hi. It seems that he didn’t get in his theme on spring fever. He is still trying to find out if it is some kind of disease. Bill O’Connor has become a great writer. He decided that the stories he told in short- hand were so good that he should put them into book form and have them publish- ed. The name of the book is “Spinning Yarns.” I saw Darlene Taylor still drifting around from one boy to another; she can not seem to make up her mind. J. D. Sprague has become head surgeon in the Clapper Memorial Hospital. We find Vera Mae Stevens as his secre- tary and Wanda Fay McKen- na as his nurse. Seems the readheads of 1950 stick to- gether. I see that Tootsie Lakey Carson has been doing her part to increase the population of Waynoka. Her children seem to come in pairs; she now has three sets of twins. It seems that Opal Ealey’s engagement didn’t work out. She is now an author. Her lat- est book is ‘How To Hold A Man.” I heard that Phyllis Keene is looking forward to being the First Lady of the United States since Duane is running for President. Bill Murray is now an em- ployee of the Waynoka school. He drives the school bus and is still just as much of a pest as he ever was. Joan Harmon is now Math teacher in the Waynoka High School and it looks as though she has about as many grey hairs as Miss Joachims did when she retired. Those stud- ents sure are hard on a person. Mary Lou Jackson is now proprietor of the Waynoka Super Market. Her sister, Marilyn was her assistant un- til she married Kenny Berg and moved to Guymon so he wouldn’t have to waste so much gas driving to Waynoka. Seems that Eva Jean Ellis has settled down to keeping house and the task of raising two little Kysars. Margaret Good and her hus- band have moved to the coun- try and are raising kids. Now don’t get excited, I mean goats. Earl Gamble is still a sailor, but there doesn't seem to be much future in it for he is still an Apprentice Seaman. Karol Pierce and Max Fer- guson have gone into partner- ship and are now owners of the Little Rock Filling Station. They are prospering so fast that they are thinking of tak- ing over the Coury Brothers Oldsmobile Garage. Colleen Fiscus who was so determined to become a nurse has abandoned all her plans. She met a cute intern and de- cided to make Homemaking her career instead. I see Verlin Harmon no longer dashing to Ringwood every week-end. He finally married the little gal and mov- ed over there. Mona Lou Tea’s homemaking classes came in handy as she now has two little girls to sew for. She is also president of the PTA this year.

Class Prophecy . . . (Con. from proceeding page) Dude Ranch. Nona Arnold is nurse at the ranch. Seems as though she has quite a few patients. Seems like Luella Barber is a person with a changeable mind as she is now telephone operator at the telephone ex- change in Waynoka. Virginia Armour and Dixie Pierce are now acrobats in Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. Seems they decided that they were pretty good at turning cart wheels while leaders of the Waynoka Pep Club so they got a job in the circus. Bob Morgan has made quite a success of himself. He is now coach at Cheyenne Valley and it looks as if his basketball team might go to state this year. 4 I found Casey Jones owner of the Jone’s Cleaners in Belva. He is still making trips to Waynoka trying to persuade Dorothy Dupy that being a cleaner’s wife isn’t bad at all. After all she’ll get all her cleaning done free. I see that Oleta and Sam- my Kysar have taken over the telephone exchange at Bouse ★ WHS WHS W I Junction. Oleta takes care of the switch board while Sam- my does the running around. I found Eddie Dexter chasing across the country with his coon dogs. To my amazement a little boy was trying to keep up with him. The little young- ster happened to be Eddie Dexter, Jr. LaVaun Nicholson has be- come a Powers Model. She likes to model bathing suits best of all; especially the two piece ones. As I was driving down the highway, whom should I see traveling by way of the thumb but Charles McNally. As I entered Alva I saw Rozella Curtis coming down the street. With her was a little redheaded boy. Now where would her son get red hair? Oh! I remember Carl Carberry does have red hair doesn’t he? Rozella and Carl got married and are now living on a farm near Alva. As I left Alva and crossed the Kansas line I saw a bril- lantly lighted Honky Tonk, The Four Aces, with Dean Bolar as proprietor. It had just been raided the week before for operating a roulette table in the back room. John L. Sulli- [ S WHS WHS W van is one of the Aces and he is just about to become what has always been his ambition, a millionaire. Aileen Gunning is now head nurse at the Hardtner Hospital. She still likes interns but she is just too bashful to make any progress so she is still unmar- ried. I found Kenneth Zook and his little blonde from Dacoma well established on a Horse Ranch in Kentucky. Jean Keffer is now book- keeper for a law firm but as usual she is out of luck since the boss is already married. Looks like she will remain an old-maid for a while longer. Well mother I was very suc- cessful in finding the graduates of 1950 as I found all of them without much trouble. Your loving daughter. Class Contributes To Stage Funds The senior class contributed $100 for new stage props. They had the props made at the be- ginning of school, which were used all year. HS WHS WHS W Say, Joan Harmon, who was that you were with Saturday night? Couldn’t have been Warren Bartlow, could it? Sure do like the boys new pep club jackets. We’ve al- ready seen some of the girls wearing them. While we’re on the pep club world, we’d like to mention how much we like the girls’ cheer leader’s new uniforms. Who are the gals who op- erated on Icke and Case? Who- ever they were they must like curly hair—Heh! Hannah and Jean H. Hey boys we have a new girl in our midst. She hails from Borger, Texas. Howdy Pardner! Brr-r-r that thermometer goes much lower the gals in physical Ed. are going to have to replace those shorts for something more convertable. Frankly we are completely baffled. Can anyone solve this mystery? Why has Marilue Sullivan missed the last high school dances. Now there was a time when Marilue never missed one. Does anyone know?

Therefore, we do write, edit, throw together and declare this to be our last will and testa- ment. GENERAL JUNK We, the Senior class, leave to the present Junior class our beloved faculty, in the hope that this class will be success- ful in persuading the said faculty that all types of home- work are injurious to a high school student’s mind and body. However, in view of the fact that we have failed ignominiously in this effort and, as it is quite evident that we are in every way superior to the present Junior class, we can only offer our deepest sympathy and breath a sigh of relief that we are no longer to be exposed to this harsh treatment. And finally we leave to the sophomores our ambition to beat Alva. It looks like they have the most prospective ball team. PERSONAL JUNK Bill Murray leaves his mec- hanical knowledge to Martin Swires in the hope that he will do some work and perhaps get his hands dirty at least once.

Tootsie Lakey Carson leaves all her old high school boy friends to Marilue Sullivan be- cause she has decided to settle down with her one and only, Wayne Carson. John L.

La Vaun Nicholson leaves some excess weight to Jean Vanderslice who could use some of it. Verlin Harmon leaves all his girl friends to Elvin King, so maybe he can get some sleep for a change.

HS WHS WHS W Miss Joachims, why did the seniors give you an alarm clock? Could it be because you are always late to third hour class? Say, Verlin who was the girl with you the night of the Alva game? We noticed you didn’t introduce her to anyone. Were you afraid someone would beat your time? Say, Elvin King and Beth Deweesc, are both of you deaf? We noticed that neither one of you noticed that the music stopped. Or is it loVe? Mr. Turvey is really getting places in this world; first a new baby girl and now a new car. Hey King, who’s senior ring were you wearing? We saw the initials V.G.A. Say, Oleta M. we’ve noticed that far away look in your eyes lately. You aren’t dream- ing of the future are you? Most of the juniors have been in deep agilation these past weeks trying to think of some- thing really different for the Jr. and Sr. banquet. We thought it was etiquette for the boy to call on the girl but it seems to be the other way around with John L. and Barbara. HS WHS WHS Son of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Ben- 1 3 son.

So you had a nice ride any- way, Gene J. and Patsy D. We heard you went to Alva to a dance Saturday night and we were wondering if you got home any sooner due to the fact that there was no dance. HS WHS WHS W Senior Sisters Are Entertained It was in the honor of their senior sisters that the fresh- man and sophomore maids gave a weiner roast on April 24, at 5:30 p. m. at the Spring- dale school house.

The sponsors were Mrs. Briggs, Mrs. Goranflo, Mrs. Nigh, Mrs. Olson, Mrs. Keffer and Miss Joachims. If anyone needs an explana- tion of a “tool shed” just ask Janet F. and Bob M. I’m sure they can give you a sufficient explanation. Several Jr. boys seem to find the thought of beautiful girls more entertaining than that drab English. How’s for it, Icke, Cue and Rayburn.

Jean Vanderslice then played a violin solo called “Stardust.” She was accompanied by Phyl- lis Keene, at the piano. Perry Hanan then gave the reading “Mabel at the Matinee.” It was very comical and everyone enjoyed it.

Sophomores Hold Skating Party This year the sophomores decided to try something dif- ferent in the line of class part- ies. Much discussion was giv- en the matter and it was finally decided to have a skat- ing party. Everyone in the sophomore class who could skate, attempt to skate or just relax on the floor, was invited. Games were played on the skating floor. Sometimes they ended in a collision, others turned out very nicely. Mrs. Briggs, Mrs. Damall and Mr. Meek also attempted their hand at skating. They carefully taught everyone how to sit on the floor without causing a vibration. Much fun was had and every- one went home with enough skating and spills to last them for some time.
