Class History . . . (Con. from preceeding page) chose for our banquet was a “Nautical Adventure.” Sammy Kysar, our class president was captain of our ship. 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? Janet I thought that the boy was supposed to ask the girl to go courting but it seems that you always ask Bob Afraid Bob won’t ask you? HS WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS W YOU CAN T mss.

CLASS PROPHECY — THE HOPES OF THE PAST Ring The Bells Of The Future Hey, Clara you remember me tellng you a couple of weeks ago that my daughter was going on a trip in which she was going to look up the graduates of 1950 and see how they were coming along in the world. 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.
