Weather- ford 1898' Ded1cat1on 'E H -23 -bbw' KIOWAS--This visiting tribe of Kiowa Indians from the south were photographed ln Weatherford in 1895. Kiowas visited frequently with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes in this area and many of them intermarrled. 'K THE CRUCIAL HOUR--HIGH NOON, APRIL 19, 1892 ---- It all started with the riders who lined the borders of the Chey- enne and Arapahoe country in 1892 . The vast buffalo and antelope hunting ground for wandering tribes of Indians was being opened to white settlement. Hundreds of people were gathered to wait for the Run of 1892. Although the run did not attract so many people as the Old Oklahoma Run of 1889 or the No Man's Run in 1890, some 5, 000 were at the starting points on the morning of April 19, 1892. THE RAILROAD--came to Weatherford in 1898. Like everyone else, the Indians went down to the depot to watch the train come ln. MISSOURI SCHOOL, 1898. Standing in front of the school house are Henry Lowry, E. R. Lowry, and I. P. White. The race was for the choicest land on the river and creek bottoms . At a point about four miles east of the present city of Weatherford, a line of vehi- cles and mounted riders extended for miles to the north and south. There were other starting lines adjacent to the present east and south boundaries of Washita county and on the other boundaries of the new territory When the hands of the clock approached high noon, the government starters raised their arms . . .and fired their guns! The race was on! Civilization followed in the footsteps of those who made the run--not rapidly but gradually, and not without hardships which those who did not experience them would even understand. In a matter of hours after the first home steaders arrived, tents began to spring up over all the prairie . just a small distance from the county line where the race started, a William j. Weatherford came, the day after MANSION--This frame house of the P. P. Bunker family, southeast of Weatherford was considered 'modern' in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country in early days. Ji.. PLENTY OF HORSEPOWER-'Horses were numerous in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country when the picture above was taken on Weatherford's main street ln 1904. The crop going to the market here is broomcom. the run, to establish a home for himself and for his family. Mr. Weatherford was a Southerner and a long time peace officer. He started the first town of Weatherford on his land which was located a mile east and a mile north of the outskirts of the present town. The first Weatherford was never very large. At its peak it was composed only of the Weatherford buildings, the postoffice, a general store built by T. P. Press Keen, the Cottonwood Saw Mill, so named because this tree provided most of its lumber, and a blacksmith shop which stood near the trail leading from El Reno to Arapaho, then G county's biggest and most active town. Traces of this trail still remain in the vicinity. Mrs. Mary Rainey, daughter of Bill Weatherford, remembers vividly the day the troopers from Fort Reno on their way to Arapaho, where trouble with the Indians had EARLY STORE--The Harness Shop pictured below was doing business just south of the present site of Wright's Station in 1906. Miss Nannle Sm1th's father was the proprietor. ! - 1 BUILDINGS GOING UP on North Broadway. 1898-1899. A VIEW OF BROADWAY, 1906--Paved streets were unheard of and if you walked down this hill flocking southy you would probably find yourself knee--deep in mud and slush! v- -, l - 4. 1704 State Bcchange Bank, now the Eaton Drug Corner. BEER DEPOT! If you can read the slgn on the front of this building you can see that the Anheuser Busch Beer company got here early. Standing near what is now the armory, this saloon was one of the many which appeared on Broadway soon after the town began. The house is the Carl Stettler residence. ivfqg if I' developed, came along this trail to stop at the Weatherford home for refreshments . She also remembers a cloudburst which occurred on May 5, 1892--washing away many of their belongings . Weatherford had four pretty daughters and his place was the social center of the region, where roughly clad homesteaders, spurred and booted cowboys came to dances . Peace officers frequently called at the Weatherford home for advice and assistance in chasing outlaws and in getting along with the Indians . Bill Weatherford started Baptist church services and his daughters taught school. His wife was the first postmistress, and the girls would put the postoffice receipts Qthey were rather small,sometimes amounting to only S15 a quartery under their mattresses for safe keeping. During the first years, the homesteaders had to convey their crops to E1 Reno by horse and wagon, to bring back most of their supplies from that railroad terminus. This trip meant fording the South Canadian River, often a dangerous task. One old timer remembers a man trying to bring a steam engine and threshing machine across the river only to lose both in the quicksand. In the summer of 1898, when the Choctaw railroad began laying its tracks westward from Geary, the present Weatherford was created. The rails would miss the old site by about a mile and a half to the south, it was found, and so the official town was platted where it now lies. iv ' E H fijiiit 2 K . , 1 gg.,-iq, - - 7.9 gg, ' sails'-gwf , - Beeks Erick's house on the hill where the high school now stands. BUSY SPOT --Weatherford was a booming frontier town when this picture was taken. l-lORSE'N BUGGY DOCTOR. Old Doc Wllllams ready to make a call. In early days, doctors traveled on horseback ln two wheeled sulkeys or as times got better, team and buggy. They went at any hour of the day or night. REMEMBER WHEN? Many people now living will remember this early day drug store in Weatherford. was one of rejoicing and celebration. Hun- dreds of persons were on hand to welcome the train. For some time the town was the western terminus of the railroads in Oklahoma and business boomed as home- steaders brought their crops and livestock here and eastern wholesale houses used the town as an outlet for their goods. Meanwhile Press Keen had moved his store to the new site. During the first months. tents housed almost all of the businesses . Ed Sulllvan's restaurant and hotel seem to have been famous . Gamblers crowded into the town and badger games were frequent occurrences . The first newspaper was established by W. O. Mounts . Shortly afterward the paper was purchased by Adolf Bollenbach, who called it the Weatherford Booster. Under Bollenbach's vigorous editorship the Boos- ter made such a name for itself that some old timers still call the present weekly news the Booster. The first church services were held for all denominations in an unpainted small wooden structure. The first Methodist Church, half wood and half canvas, stood where Dr. T. A. Boyd's home is: its pastor was the late Rev. W. A. Randle. The first brick building constructed still stands on the corner of Main and Broadway and houses the offices of the Davenport Insurance Agency, Dr. E. W. Cotton, and the Eaton Drug Company. The second was diagonally across the street and is the present site of Hutto's Dry Goods Store. The first of these went up in February 1899. and the second in Sep- tember of the same year. Sixty-five years have lapsed since the firing of the eventful shot signalling the opening of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country. Sixty-five years since our town let out a lusty yell at birth. . .and it's been moving ahead, growing, . . .gradually and steadily . . .ever since . QThe staff is indebted to the Weatherford News' tor the story of our town and to the pioneers of this community who contributed the pictures of early day Weatherfordj. Northwest part of Weatherford, 1898. , O . The Weatherford School Story The story behind the Weatherford schools is a story of evolution from a one-teacher, no-building, no- budget school to a system of thirty-four teachers, twenty-six other employees, nine buildings, and an annual budget of 5190, 000. Now ranking among the best, the growth of the Weatherford school system has been gradual and steady. This growth has not been one-sided since the broad program of activities and the curriculum offer variety for the well-adapted students who are graduated each year. ln the fall of 1898, the first school was opened in a two-room frame building on North Seventh Street. The population of the town increased so rapidly the first year that a much larger building was needed. ln 1900 a several room two-story brick building was erected on the present grade school site on North Custer. This building was constructed from brick made at a brick plant one mile south of Weath- erford. Because of poor construction, in 1909 this building was replaced by the present junior high school. This new brick structure was considered among the best of its kind. It housed all grades from one through teng in 1915 the eleventh and twelfth grades were included. The first graduation class was in 1917. The three members were Forrest Harris, Mabel Keil, and Leora Stirman. The present senior high school was erected in 1926 at a cost of 546,000. The gymnasium was built in 1935 at a cost of 531, 469, primary frame building in 1921 at 514, 700, shop in 1939 by NYA, home economics cottage in 1940 by NYA, Thompson Elementary School in 1950 at a cost of 5113,000, liast Elementary in 1956 at a cost of 559, 000, and Winn Elenunnary U11956 ata costci 559,000. During this history covering fifty-nine years, the eight superintendents who have served are: 1898-1900 . Pike 1900-1907 . . Lackey 1907-1911 . Faust 1911-1915 Cowart 1915-1920 . .

Behind The Scenes They Work To Improve Our School The major accomplishments of the Board of Education during the years of 1955-1956 and 1956-1957 are as follows: 1. Purchase of two elementary building sites, one on the east side of town, the other on the west side. 2. Con- struction of two new elementary buildings on these sites, known as East Elementary School and West Elementary School. 3. Purchase of two houses just south of the high school grounds. This expanded our school site from 7 112 acres to 21 acres. 4. Letting a contract to build an auditorium on this site south of the high school, and an addition to the high school. The auditorium will have an up-to-date band room under the stage, and the high school addition will have a modern science department. This contract will be completed during the summer of 1957. 5. Combining the junior high school and senior high school in one building with one principal. 6. Co'ord1natlon of the elementary program with one principal over the three schools. 7. Development of the new athletic field, 'Cecil Field, for football and baseball.

THE STUDENT COUN- CIL always has one prin- cipal objectlve. The organ- ization works on this as a body instead of the usual committee procedure . This year's goal was to buy new flags for the audl- torium. The need has been felt for several years, but financing this seemed al- most lmpossible. During this year the groups a- chieved thelr goal. Another annual project ls the unique Career Day in which WHS participates . A committee selects eight experts in vocational fields voted upon by the student body. After a short assembly held to introduce the visiting authorities, each hold meetings where students can attend their first or second choice . 'WE WANT THIS TO BE THE BEST CAREER DAY' - - - Richard House, sponsor, gets the Career Day com- mittees under way. Those included ln the council of '56-'57 are Ioy Gover, Riley Kerr, Linda Frost, Elmer Million, Janice Eaton, Billy Bergner, Wanda Bozarth, Tlm Doughty, Carol Zacharias, Betty Steiner, Eddy Berrong Janet Van Duyne, and Rich Ratcliffe. 1 PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG Riley Kerr leads off the flag assembly with the Pledge of Allegiance The raising of the Colors was a moment of proud achievement for each member of the student council as well as the student body 'ii ff 3' 922 .If A' M -'2 f - ' K.

Senior The Eagles of 1956, under the excellent coaching of Steve Graham and Gerald Daugh- erty, came through with a record-breaking season. The Eagles won the district, the regional, and went to the semifinals in the state Class B playoffs. They defeated Yukon and Newkirk before bowing to Frederick, the ultimate state champion, in the semifinal game . The Eagles returned only two starters, Ramon Kerr and Bob Morris, from the 1955 team which shared the district title with Watonga. The outlook was very dim as the tough district grind loomed ahead. WEATHERFORD 18 - THOMAS 27 An inexperienced Eagle team hit the field for the first time against a powerful Thomas team. With the score 20-18 in the third quarter, it was still anybody's ball game. Bob Morris, Pat Griffin, and Ramon Kerr tallied for the Eagles. Riley Kerr, Eddy Berrong, and Smith Wyeoff were standouts on defense. WEATHERFORD 25 - YUKON 7 Showing marked improvement, the Eagles moved in to trim the Yukon Millers to the tune of 25-7. Griffin took a short plunge through the line for the first touchdown. Bob Morris went around end for the second score and David Heathcoat scored on a 64 yard punt return. Ramon Kerr made the Eagles final score and also kicked Weatherford' s onlv conversion.
