' c ' 1 FFA- nw ' 0 Uv F41 I H ello, there! I am going to be your host and show you and tell you all I can about the Wewoka High School of 1951-1952. Who am I? Oh, well, that really isn't important. l'm nobody really, and yet I'm everybody. You can call me Jerry, or Don, or Jack - it doesn't matter. l'm a student at WHS. This airplane View of the school was taken by Mr. Loyd Nash, Yearbook photographer. Dr. E. E. Ogle was the pilot. Wewoka High School is easy to photograph. It sits on a hill overlooking Wewoka. It has so many trees on its campus, however, that Mr. Nash had to wait until frost to take the picture. l I I See, here is the table of con- tents, which includes a list of the things I'm going to show you as we go along.

Smith, are responsible for our new gym- nasium, the improved football field and stadium, the cafeteria's new steam table, and a recent paint job throughout WHS. As school board members they always have in mind the welfare of the students and the school. Our superintendent, MR. CALVIN T. SMITH, to whom the 1950 annual was dedicated, was principal of the high school from 1942 until 1949 when he succeeded Supt. James R. Frazier. MR. C. H.

Ed. in city school administration and school finance, O. UQ is completing his third year here. He is helped in the office by his secretary, Mrs. Hazel Mc- Clure, and a group of student office assistants. These people are, bottom right, seated: Mary Fox, Virginia Ford, Bonnie Bailes, Jane Haunschild, Mollie Chaney, Wanda Bishop. Standing: Mrs. Hazel McClure, secretary. Mrs. Emily Palas QM. Home Ee. Ed. O. U.l came to WHS this year. She has started a vocational homemaking program. Mr. Loyd Nash QM. A. industrial arts, Olcla. A. and M.l teaches shop and mechanical drawing.

Mr. Halley. the man with over a hun- dred ties, is intently warbling for his students. Under his direction the mixed chorus has grown and improved in past years. The Messiah by Handel was the main mixed chorus accomplishment of this year. Miss links is explaining the weekly KWSH radio program to Ann Peebles and Don Burris. The debate teams have won nine trophies since she has been the instructor, and she has directed some outstanding plays at WHS. She also has a wicked forehand on the tennis court. where she coaches tennis or instructs her physical education class. Miss Latham shares a joke with ,lane Rowland and Mack Burnett. She always sees the funny as well as the serious side of history. Her students usually win the lionis share of honors in interscholastic contests. Clell Burnett, our coach, takes time out from football practice to pose for the camera. He is also an instructor in geometry and driver's training. MR. CLIFFORD CHRIST, B. S. Voc. Agri- culture. Okla. A. Si M. MRS. LUCY B. SITTON, M. A. English, 0. U. MISS GERALDINE HOUSER, M. A. For- eign Language and English, Okla. A. 81 M. MR. E. B. MOORE, M. M. Education, O. U. Mr. Christ is lost in one of his many agricultural lectures. lf anybody needs any information about raising a hog or what to feed a three weeks old chicken. Mr. Christ is your man. Under his direc- tion the agriculture classes have won prizes at many live stock contests and fairs. From Mrs. Sitton, Frankie Saladin and Nanci Boothe learn how to correct a stencil. l believe this woman could proofread a dummy faster than Theo- dore Roosevelt could. Mrs. Sitton has an exceptionally large journalism class this year. She also teaches sophomore English and expounds to seniors about English writers from Shakespeare to Shaw. Miss Houser is enjoying a Spanish play given by George Rupe and Ronald Holley. Miss Houser teaches Spanish. Latin. and American literature. 'Clie sure to take Spanish. ltis more funlw upper classmen advise enrolling freshmen. Mr. Moore listens to a duet played by jerry Segroves and Ronald Holley. Mr. Moore is a busy man: he directs the high school band, has organized a junior high western band, and starts young musicians on their tooting career in grade school. MR. BUD MCCOLLUM. B. S. Physical Edu- cation. Kansas State College and T. U. MRS. MERLE MULLEN, B. S. Commerce, Southeastern State College. MISS MAXINE WALKER, M. of Ed., Social Science. O. U. MR. CURTIS GLASSCO, B. S. Biological Science, 0. U. l . A LL 'fe . Mr. McCollun1 enjoys coaching girls' sports as well as boys'. This good- looking coach and physical education instructor also teaches freshman Eng- lish. He is assistant football coach and head basketball coach. Mrs. Mullen is pleased to find that Ineanne Cunningham will be a good prospect for the interscholastic meets. This is Mrs. Mullen's first year in WHS. but she has already won the hearts of all the students. She is head of the commercial department. From Miss Walker. Danny Chris- topher and Mary Lou Erwin learn the proper procedure for checking out books. Miss Walker returns to WHS after being the principal at Central Grade School. She is head librarian and teaches high school geography and problems in democracy. Mr. Glassco shows a plastic model of the ear to Kenneth Barbre and Joy Bell. As one of the new teachers, Mr. Glasco has aroused student interest in science and has proved to be a good student council sponsor. .hifi f' in 4 95 STAFFS PROJECTOR STAFF WORKERS are Jim Nash, William Prewitt, Don Posey, Tom Criswell, Jim Cox. and Stephen Grover. LIBRARIANS are Patsy Arnold, Betty Tay- lor, Lula Mae Coker, Ann Patterson, Rose- mary Vinson, Patricia Ledgerwood, sponsor, Miss Maxine Walker. Cora Lee Pryor.

STUDENT CAFETERIA HELPERS are Enid Cunningham, Lucille Bates, Myra Tut- tle, and Keith Kashwer. These boys who operate the projectors had a lot of experience this year with such films as lane Eyre and Pride ana' Prejudice, besides the various shorts that were shown in the classrooms. Librarians, too, learn as they work with books. Perhaps the hardest workers and least recognized in WHS are the faithful custodians. They have done their best to satisfy the needs of the students and teachers. And last but by no means least are the most popular women in WHS, the best cooks in town-our cafeteria work- ers. SEN IDRS WHS is more than the people who teach and the peo- ple who serve, it is the students-the classes. The last round on the ladder is completed in the senior year. Graduation and diplomas, caps and gowns, that last foot- ball game or that last 100 yard dash-itls all a part of being a senior. Seniors of 1952 entered high school like lions but did not leave like lambs! No matter what direction you might have looked that year of 194-8-49, you got a glimpse of an industrious freshman. The next year found the class still bubbling with talent and ambition. They supplied the school with foot- ball and basketball stars, track and tennis whizzers, and promising debaters. When the class of '52 became juniors, they acquired a winning streak by taking the annual queen and king contests with candidates Doris Streater and Keith Kashwer and successfully electing David French first WHS Chef-of- the-year. Their play, LITTLE WOMEN, was a big success. Junior scholars won honors in district meets. This, their last year in WHS is a year of both sorrow and joy to the seniors. But as those in the past have gone on, so must these seniors-not, however, until l tell you of some of the incidents of this class which will be remembered in the future years. ,lim Howell, Loydell Nash, and Leroy Nelson make up the Student Council officers. Barbara Walker was a football queen attendant. Co-captains of the football team, ,lack Wood and ,lack Thomas led the team to an 8-2 season. Jeannalie Cook, winner, and Elmer Ogle Jr., runner-up, were sensational in the Going To College program. Our seniors have done so much this year that we had to use abbreviations to include all of their activities. The abbreviations are f.b.-football, b.b.- basketball, base b.-baseball, wrest.-wrestling, ten.-tennis, tr.-track. Natl. Hon. Soc.-National Honor Society, State Hon.

Cl.g jr., sr JUNIORS When a class reaches its junior year. it has a place all its own in WHS. It isnlt much fun to plunge your hands into an ice-filled coke box or plod up and down the stadium with a heavy pot of coffee or wait and wait while someone decides on his favorite candy har. But the juniors work hard at their football concession stands and at their first class play in high school. This year the whole school laughed at the esca- pades of Emily and Cornelia in Our Hearts Were Young and Cay. Money from all these projects goes to finance that all-out production, the junior-senior banquet, at which the juniors are the traditional hosts. Need anything in particular? ,lust sit back and survey the juniors, and you'll find it. Pat Cotner has a way with music. Sue Cook wields a mean paint brush when it comes to postersg and Lonna Whittington and Leon Pearce always come through to hold up the scholastic end of school. Charles Scott puts his speech and debating talents to work by heading both Hi-Y and the 1953 Nation- al Honor Societyg Earl Campbell is Teen-Town president. As for beauty-ah, beauty! Sharron Smith tops the list with football queen and Hi-Y sweetheart to her ereditg Mary Fox preceded her as sweetheart. Edna McCleod, many times a queen candidate, rep- resented WHS in the Northeastern A.8M. Basket- ball Tournament. We've already mentioned brains and beauty- now about brawn. Elliott McCosar has been first- string quarterback for two years. Erwin Coleman and Digo Saladin have also been backfield stal- warts. ,loe Harbert is said to have more power per pound than any other man on the team. Now for basketball, What-that McCosar boy again? lt's just impossible to mention any sport without bringing up this juniorls name. He and Don Scott play on the red-hot WHS basketball team. On and on the list of junior Whois Who could go, if space permitted.

Officers are: sec- ond semester vice president, Virginia Garrettg second se- mester secretary-treasurer, Shirley Hensley, first sem- ester secretary - treasurer, Cara Lee Pryor, president, Marilyn Aldridge, second semester president, Frances Staggs, and first semester vice-president, Lanny Ander- son. SOPHOMORES The sophomores are like the seniors. There isnit anything in school that some sophomore doesn't have a part in. Paul Huser, ,lone Yandell, and Bill Epton lead the class in speech and debate work. Lanny Anderson, Tommy Williams and Richard Reyes are returning lettermen in tennis and Lanny teams with Travis Jackson, Robert Parris, and Jerry Gordon all promising cagers. Future gridsters John Leitka, Robert Parris, Jerry Cordon, and Don Hopkins will be helping to carry the torch next fall. Fifteen musically-minded sophomores are in the band, and eleven in mixed chorus. Under the sponsorship of Miss Geraldine Houser, Mr. Clifford Christ, and Mr. Clell Burnett, the sophomores won the Yearbook queen and king contests with candi- dates, Joletta Peck, and Hank Dotson. Cheerleader, Virginia Ralston, was football queen attendant. Frances Staggs, Cara Lee Pryor, Shirley Hensley, Rosalie Roff, Marilyn Aldridge, Patsy Arnold, Charles Johnson, Betty Roberts, and Ronald Holley are some old faithfuls on the honor roll list each six weeks. Mechanically-talented Tom Criswell, and Stephen Cover operate the movie pro- jector. First semester president, Marilyn Aldridge, who in her freshman year held a student council office, spear-headed the king and queen contest for the sophs.

The border symbolizes more informal times during Twirp season, skating parties, picnics, play rehearsals, blue jeans dances, and stage skits. By these pictures you can plainly see that all work and no play is not the theme of WHS students. E fi 4 5 t YEARBOOK ROYALTY The 1951-52 Yearbook king, queen and attendants are on these two pages. The queens are nominated by each class during the contest for raising the yearbook money, and the winner of the contest is the class which raises the most money. The king is elected by the most subscriptions to the annual from each class. Winners this year are sophomores ,loletta Peck and Hank Dotson with seniors Wanda Bishop and ,lack Thomas coming second, juniors Nina Nichols and Leonard Davis and freshmen Peggy Lackey and Joe Gunn following. Reading left to right above are Joe Gunn, Hank Dotson, ,lack Thomas and Leonard Davis. The highlight of the queen contest was a football game between the seniors and a team composed of juniors, sophomores and freshmen, with the seniors winning by a margin of 4-1-7. The surprising contest was during the king election when the sophomores brought in 100 percent subscribers to the annual one minute after the contest was officially opened. The secret is they had really worked on it for about a month with such schemes as rummage sales and scrap iron drives. 'K 'bf' im. -an., 1-..- x' . ,as ,l 9-+ wav men 1 A . as T 'Q DU' , mv me Q, - v PUBLICATIONS Have you ever visited the staff room on Friday afternoon when the paper was supposed to be out, and there were two pages that hadn't been run yet? Youid be amazed, l assure you. We were always late with the paper, no matter how soon we started on it. But there's an organization back of all this, to honor those who have done exceptionally well on the paper staff. This organization is the Quill and Scroll. If you think the paper sounds like work, try writing the continuity for the annual or bleeding a page or some other duty of the annual staff. lt's a long hard job. but the journalism class and the student council combine forces on the task to raise the money needed and to get the pages done. Quill and Scroll also gives recog- nition for work on the Little Tiger yearbook. and Joe Foresee. in neil. Some QUILL AND SCROLL members are vice president Jerry McNally pledge Jim Nash, secretary treasurer Loydell Nash, president Sandra Smith and pledges Nancy Chaney,.lim Howell The planning board attending the first staff meeting at sponsor Mrs L B Sitton's home are sophomore page worker Barbara Walker, artist Ann Patterson, head typist Loydell Nash co-editors Sandra Smith and Jennalle Cook, sports editor Dick Shunatona and continuity writer Nola Ann Bar Quill and Scroll members discussing the annual are Ann Patterson, Jerry Se-groves, ,lt-nnalie Cook, Sandra Smith, who is state president of the Oklahoma lnterscholastic Press Association. and Loydell Nash. On the wall behind the group is the certificate of all-American Award to the Little Tigger bi-weekly from the National Scholastic Press Association for first semester. 1950-51. Reporters Elmer Ogle, Sharron Smith, Nanci Booths. Charles Scott, Frankie Saladin, Lloyd Holding, Mariellen Bat- son, and Keith Kashwer are busy typing their articles for the L. T. be- fore the deadline. This is the first year for these students, hut already they have proved that they have a nose for news. The production staff is made up of Ann Peebles, Phill Christopher, Patti Russell, Mollie Chaney, Rosemary Vin- son, Barbara Walker, Bob Bishop, Jack Wood, Doris Streater, and Dick Shu- natona. Charles Johnson, fourth from left. is a sophomore Quill and Scroll cadet, who's seeing what's ahead for him. A busy looking bunch, isn't it? Even though the journalism class was large this year, there was a job for everyone and everyone did his job well. STATE AND HONOR I'm not much of a scholar myself, but l really admire those people who insist on mak- ing nothing but A's. The Oklahoma Honor Society includes stu- dents with an A average, the National Honor Society is based on leadership, dependability, and character as well as scholarship. Miss Geraldine Houser sponsors these so- cieties. Sandra Smith is president, Jennalie Cook vice president, and Loydell Nash sec- retary. Senior members-Upper left, who are looking at the National Honor Society emblem, are Jerry Se- groves, Ann Peebles, Loydell Nash, .lennalie Cook, Lucille Bates, Frank Saladin, Dale Boren, Jane Haunschild, Sandra Smith, Rosemary Vinson, and Jneanne Cunningham. Juniors-Middle left, conferring with the sponsor are Edna McLeod, Sue Cook, Leon Pearce, Miss Geraldine Houser, Lonna Whittington, and Charles Scott. Sophomore cadets-Lower left, who are admiring two of this year's additions to the trophy case, are Patsy Arnold, George Rupe, Shirley Hensley, and Ronald Holley. Newcomers to WSH and to the National Honor Society, the FRESHMEN, lower right, are stopping for a few minutes at the library window. They are Lynn Biggers, .lim Nash, Robin Coleman, Shirley Fish. Freddie Hughey, and Sharon Phillips. NATIONAL SOCIETIES At right are some of the members of the State Honor Society. Here talking to Superintendent of Schools, Nlr. Calvin 'l'.

Edna Mc'l.4-oil, Charles Scott, Shirley Hensley, Shirley Fish, Jamie Brown, and Mary McClure, LAUREATE HONORS Being a member of these societies is a high honor, but the greatest honors of all are the four given to outstanding seniors to climax their high school activities. Last year Pat Orr was valedictorian of the class of 1951. Betty Kiker was salutatorian. Shirley Stewart and Dick Wrangle received the Outstanding-Girl-and-Boy awards. Pat Orr is now employed by the General Motors Acceptance Corp. in Oklahoma City. Betty Kiker works for the Bell Telephone Company, and Shirley Stewart is majoring in speech at East Central State College. Dick Wrangle is at Southern Methodist University studying to be a minister. t ROSTER STUDENT COUNCIL First semester officers, tfirst picture left! treasurer, Leroy Nelson: vicc pres- ident, Ann Moore: president, Jim How- ell, secretary, Loydell Nash, display the tigers sent to WHS by alumni from Japan. The pictures are hand-painted on silk. Decorating goal posts, sponsoring dances, raising money for the annual and sponsoring the lyceum assemblies are only small parts of the work of the WHS Student Council. Under the supervision of its new sponsor, Mr. Curtis Glassco, the organization at- tended the state convention in Stillwater, served on state committees, and were named to send a representative, Leon Pearce, to the national convention this summer. But the members had their fun, too, along with the work. They governed the city for a day, with Mayor ,lim Howell issuing some good advice in his proclamation to climax the day. During a city council meeting the young officials passed the important bond issue for the city's purchasing Grimes's hospital. Later the people of the city voted and passed the bond. 1' 19 Rx , First semester: seniors-Jerry McNally, Don Ridgeway, June Jones, and Nola Ann Barnett, juniors-Lonna Whittington, Leon Pearce, Sue Cook, and Richard Reyes, sophomores- Hank Dotson, Betty Roberts, and Jerry Cor- dong freshmen-Lynn Biggers, Virgil Nelson, and Gerald Kyle.

This was a job for the student council before each home game. TEEN TOWN Only a thing of the future - that's what teen town was, a few months ago. But now we have one of the nicest youth centers in the state. thanks to such fel- lows as Gerry Calhoun, Dick Wrangle. and Lory Poynor. The teen town is located over Black's Studio and is open after school and on Saturdays for the convenience of stu- dents not only of WHS but of neigh- horing high schools as well. Officers elected for the new youth center were president. .lennalie Cookg vice president, Earl Camphellg secre- tary. Sue Cook: and treasurer. Kay Royalty.

Now here is our band, the pride and joy of WHS. They're 60 members strong with all the talent and enthusiasm that it takes to gain 96.7 points out of a possible l00 in the state marching contest last year. To be a band member in this school takes work. During the marching season you can hear our drum major, Jerry Holmes, blowing his whistle. That's he in the picture on the next page, all decked out in white, and calling the kids to attention at 7:30 in the morning. That means rising and shining at 6:30 a.m. During the concert season, the students on the second floor can hear the members tuning their instruments and playing all sorts of concert numbers. The high point in the band year is the annual spring concert. This year there are only four seniors in the band. For the first time in several years a novelty band, composed entirely of boys, was formed by members of the high school band. This band which calls itself The Barnyard Dozen is directed by Dickie Dooley. Members ,lerry Segroves, Ronald Holley. David Hill, Charles Johnson, Joe Gunn, Richard Reyes, Tommy Williams, George Rupe, Don King, Jerry Holmes, Lanny Anderson, and their director have performed for several social clubs, in an exchange assembly, and several others. l WEWOKA BAND RGSTER B-F LAT CLARINETS-Jerry Segroves, Ron- ald Holley, Lonna Mae Whittington, Loydell Nash, Rosalie Roff, Roberta Snider, Mary Dell 0'Bannon, Jean Arthur Chamblee, Lynn Biggers, Donna Carder, Andriana Klentos, Tom Huser.

They are Earl Campbell, member- ship chairmang Paul Huser, co-chap- laing lim Howell, secretary, and State vice presidentg Dale Boren, presidentg Jerry Segroves, treasurer, George Rupe, point chairman, and Charles Johnson, co-chaplain. HI-Y Hi-Y, a branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, is in its fourth year at WHS. Hi-Y was organized under Mr. Edmund Cotton, science teacher four years ago. Now with Charles Scott as president, Sharron Smith, sweetheart, and sponsor, Wayne Halley, the club has 75-members. Senior Jim Howell was elected vice president at the state convention last March at Tulsa. Dale Boren, Charles Scott, Leon Pearce, and Earl Campbell attended the first Youth and Government meeting in Oklahoma City in January. The Hi-Y mother is Mrs. Marshall Huser. On the board of directors are Hicks Epton, Marshall Huser, the Rev. Eugene Brown, Mrs. P. L. Sitton, and C. B. Howerton. Last year, 1951 seniors, Dick Wrangle and Lory Poynor, received the highest possible Hi-Y award for outstanding service. The YMCA, sponsor of Hi-Y, presents this award each year. The 1952 officers exchanging a joke with sponsor Wayne Halley are Charles Scott, presidentg ,lim Nash, point chair- man, Leon Pearce, first vice presidentg Herbert Poteet, sergeant-at-arms, and Bill Epton, treasurer.

They will be contented wives and mothers of their homes. The FHA girls, under their new director, Mrs. Emily Palas, and in their re-organized vocational home economics courses, have already begun learning about homemaking. Red Cross and home nursing classes are a part of this training. ln their assembly program this year the girls modeled some of the clothes they had made in class and others from Ann's and Myles' stores. Dolores Cook represents the Wewoka FHA Chapter as the 194-1-52 district vice president. The honor went to Dolores at the convention held in Holdenville last fall. Money making projects make it possible for all the girls to attend the State Rally in Oklahoma City.

FUTURE FARMERS CDF AMERICA Can you tell a Duroc sow from a Jersey heifer or a Plymouth Rock chicken from a Mediterranean hen? Well, maybe you can't and neither can I, but our farmers can. During the Seminole County Fair last September the boys walked off with six first places and one third place. At the Interscholastic Meet in Ada last spring Wewoka FFA boys won first, second, and third in agriculture. An interesting adventure of the boys when they went to the Tulsa State Fair was getting to see the movie actress, Greer Garson. They also attended the Oklahoma City State Fair. WHS boys, along with others across the nation, believe that the successful farmer of tomorrow is the Future Farmer of today.

You go to the football games to see the boys play-thatis only common sense. But how about those Pep Club people who screamed their lungs out for the team? They really have the spirit and that's what it takes. l think we had the best looking cheerleaders in the state. too.

Now in WHS our N. F. L. and Thespian members don't have to be outstanding actors, actresses and debaters. They learn how to build stage sets, do make-up work, prompt, and be co-operative in stage crews. The junior, senior and Thespian plays are all a part of their work, and so are the usual speech and debate tournaments. Many think the 1950-51 junior play, Little Women, was perhaps one of the best plays we have had in several years. The Thespian Society- honors work in dramatics. The N. F. L. gives recognition for public speaking and debate.

These beauties are the 1951 football queen and her attendants, chosen by the football boys. They are: lleftj senior attendant, Barbara Walkerg lupper centerj Queen Sharron Smith, juniorg llower centerll sophomore attendant. Virginia Ralston, frightj freshman attendant, Jackie Franklin. This was an 8-2 season for the football team, which finished second in district and conference play. About eight lettermen returned to make up a good basketball team. Dick Shunatona, state finalist in track, was WHS's outstanding man on the cinders. In its second year, baseball was a popular sport among the boys. Much interest was taken in tennis this year, as five girls and four boys returned to the courts. WHS holds the highest sportsmanship record of any of the schools of this district, according to the Oklahoma Athletic Association. What boy wouldnit be proud to play on such a high rated team with outstanding coaches to teach him and co-operative business men as sponsors? These men are the back bone of the quarter-back club, which sponsors the boys during the football season. Jerry Mainard, 18 yrs., 6' 1 , 145 lb. end, 1 yr. lettermang Jim Howell, 18 yrs., 6' 3 , 170 lb. tackle, 2 yr. lettermang George Ensminger, 18 yrs., 5' 9 , 170 lb. guard, 1 yr. lettermang Jerry McNally, 18 yrs., 6' O , 14-5 lb. tackle, 1 yr. lettermang Kenneth Terrell, 18 yrs., 5' 11 , 135 lb. quarterback, 1 yr. lettermang Bob Bishop, 18 yrs., 5' 10 , 180 lb guard, 3 yr. lettermang Dick Shunatona, 18 yrs., 5' 10 , 145 lb. end, 3 yr. lettermang Phill Christopher, 18 yrs., 5' 10 , 165 lb. quarterback, 3 yr. lettermang Coach Burnettg Keith Kashwer, 18 yrs., 5' 10 , 160 lb. fullback, 3 yr. lettermang Leroy Nelson, 18 yrs., 6' 2 , 190 lb. tackle, 2 yr. lettermang Jack Thomas, 18 yrs., 5', 10 , 145 lb., 3 yr. lettermang and Jack Wood, 19 yrs. old, 5' 8 , 170 lb. guard, 3 yr. letterman. SENIOR GRIDSTERS Senior lettermen are pictured on the left. Most of these boys have played through junior high and high school together. I don't think Kashwer has ever carried the ball and lost any yards. Christopher is an outstanding defensive man. Nelson and Bishop, the unsung heroes, played their hearts out in all games. Burnett grew and matured from a skinny little kid on the bench to a dependable center. The co-captains are ,lack Wood and Jack Thomas with Thomas calling signals. Since their football career began back in junior high, they have a record of 36-5-2. All the senior boys will be missed, but we hope they'll find places on college teams next fall. Coaches Burnett and Mc- Collum discuss new pros- pects and next year's team. JUNIOR PLAYERS SGPHOMORE AND A Many of the sophomores and juniors made up the scrub team this year. They deserve praise and recogni- tion, for the fellows have helped to make the team. Hy next year these hoys will be ready to take over on the gridiron with a lot of en- thusiasm and experience.

Dick Shunatona is known as our one man track team. The first of the season he went to the Ft. Worth Invitational Track Meet, competing with boys from four states, and placed second in the half-mile run. At the Ada Regional Meet, Dick broke the half- mile record with a 2:03.9 mark. Despite a sprained ankle, Dick finished fourth in the state at the Meet in Stillwater. Freshman, Kenneth Barbre fnot picturedj placed second in the half-mile run at the Oklahoma Baptist University .lunior High Meet. For the first time in several years four WHS boys, Ervin Coleman, Tommy Tucker, Herman Tucker and Dale Boren, participated in golf. They met Hold,enville, Seminole, Capitol Hill, and Still- water, in duel matches and entered the State tour- ,w.,g,,,.,,, ai e 'iri- M Mi ney at Oklahoma City. r . a s ,,, Tennis aces Elmer Ogle, Richard Reyes, Lanny ,, Anderson, Tommy Williams, Stephen Cover, and Gerald Kyle battled it out with Seminole and Hold- enville in duel matches. Lanny Anderson won Soon- ', - ff er Star singles and teamed with Tommy Williams 1 Q to take the doubles crown.

Grad Dav id Wood is handing down to his little cousins ad vice on the hard ways of the high school world Of course these next two pictures show that the straight and narrow way of high school study pays off for many. Jerry McNally and Barbara Walker received journalism awards, while Jeanne Cunning- ham won outstanding senior girl in home eco- nomics and tied for salutatorian. Lucille Bates was named outstanding commercial student. Sandra Smith was the outstanding senior girl, star journal- ist, outstanding girl in speech, and co-salutatorian. ,lennalie Cook was valedictorian, outstanding girl in speech, and received the star journalism and Daughters of the American Revolution awards. This picture is of Loydell Nash, Nola Ann Bar- nett, Ann Peebles, and Rosemary Vinson, all of whom received the journalism awards. Jim Howell was the outstanding senior boy and was elected by the class for the American Legion Citizenship award. Dale Boren was outstanding boy in speech, ,lane Haunschild received the girl's citizenship award from the American Legion. Jerry Segroves was the outstanding senior band member. The last picture shows the finished product, caps and gowns. Jane Haunschild and Barbara Galla- gher seem rather pleased at their accomplishment. but Nola Barnett is either yawning with boredom or continuing Davidis lecture on the hardships of high school life-especially for a senior. JUNIOR - SENIOR BANQUET and PROM Aloha Oc, the Hawaiian love song, was the theme of the 1952 annual junior-senior banquet. The banquet tables were placed in the shape of a palm tree with murals on the' walls, thatch huts and sand piles in each corner of the study hall. Palm leaves and coconut center pieces topped with purple and yellow iris high-lighted the table dec- orations. The decorations for the prom centered around a Hawaiian night club, with palm trees and crepe paper flowers and paper lanterns. Kenneth Peters, orchestra from East Central furnished the music for his Alma Mater,s prom. Jim Howell, Mary Fox, Nina Nichols, and Jerry Holmes ltop right! were some of the lucky few to get souvenirs from the banquet. The second . l and fourth pictures are shots of the banquet in full swing. In the third picture, couples lleft to right? Jerry O,Neal and Lois Ralston, Pete Klentos and Nanci Boothe, Patti Russell and Jerry Mainard, Geraldine Hodge and Mack Burnett and Pat Cotner and ,lack Wood enjoy the music of the East Central College orchestra.

A whole school year from September to June has slipped into the realm of yesterdays. The fun we had with the friends we knew will be part of our memories. But all the memories of this year w0n't be happy ones. There have been sad moments for us in Wewoka High School, too. We have left behind us this year friends we will never see again. Death has taken people who have been a vital part of our high school. Mr. L. W. Stanberry, the head custodian for several years, died suddenly of a heart attack on January 10, 1952. Mr. Stanberry's four sons all graduated from WHS. One of the sons, Jackie Stan- berry, also met death as he was returning home for his father's funeral from military duty in Japan. On January 19 the plane Jackie was aboard crashed into the sea during an emergency landing at British Columbia. The forty-fifth division left for Japan and Korea last year with several graduates from WHS. They are returning home now, but one of them is not returning to take up life where he left it. Wheeler Pethtel, Ir. was killed in action in Korea, March 16, 1952. Though Wheeler's friendly smile is gone, we can only feel proud that he follows in the tradition of the other young men who have given their lives for their country. Wewoka High School is losing another familiar figure, also. Principal C. B. Hower- ton resigned at the end of this year. The students have expressed many regrets over losing our fine leader, and these few words are another small tribute. This, then, is good-bye-good-bye to our friends whom death has claimed, good-bye to a fine principal and an honorable gentleman, and good-bye to another year. 15 armmzm O3 lim Win F no-:ol S?

These tour- nament trophies are the first wins in basketball at WHS since 1939. Boy, if I could whistle on paper, thatis exactly what I would do.

Jack Thomas f33J, who is rather amused now, picked up the crown when it fell off, just as this picture was made, and re-crowned the queen. Here is a more formal picture of Edna with her co-captains Jim and Jack. That's little Sudie Moore holding the crown pillow. Smiling Mary Fox is at her side. Loretta Hill's glasses are shown over Sudieis head, with Gwen Ensminger, Shirley Shiflett, and Robin Coleman sitting along side. Disinterest- ed Don Scott is standing with Patti Russell, who,s hiding all of Keith Kashwer except his nose. Patsy Arnold and Barbara Wells look rather blank, and Ann Peebles looks the other way. p, ifrggfg. + . SPRING SPORTS Now as we carry on through our spring sports, we come to track, golf, and tennis. Dick Shunatona is known as our one man track team. The first of the season he went to the Ft. Worth Invitational Track Meet, competing with boys from four states, and placed second in the half-mile run. At the Ada Regional Meet, Dick broke the half- mile record with a 2 :03.9 mark. Despite a sprained ankle, Dick finished fourth in the state at the Meet in Stillwater. Freshman, Kenneth Barhre Knot picturedj placed second in the half-mile run at the Oklahoma Baptist University Junior High Meet. For the first time in several years four WHS boys, Ervin Coleman, Tommy Tucker, Herman Tucker and Dale Boren, participated in golf. They met Holdenville, Seminole, Capitol Hill, and Still- water, in duel matches and entered the State tour- '- 'Mx J Sify' M J6,,gn ' ney at Oklahoma City. Tennis aces Elmer Ogle, Richard Reyes, Lanny Anderson, Tommy Williams, Stephen Cover, and Gerald Kyle battled it out with Seminole and Hold- ' enville in duel matches. Lanny Anderson won Soon- J er Star singles and teamed with Tommy Williams if .Q to take the doubles crown.
