However, with the boom in oil came the increase in popula- tion which made necessary an enlargement program which has been continu- ous. W. C. Mathis, Superintendent from 1930 to 1939, served the communi- ty and saw the beginning of the new building program. In 1933, the lower floor of the elementary school, the auditorium, the teacherage and the home economics building were completed. In 1934, the high school building was added. The Bumpus School became a part of the White Oak plant in 1936. The following year, 1937, the cafeteria and the top floor of the elementary building were added. In 1939 Lloyd H. Taylor became superintendent. The next year the library was constructed and the shop and commercial departments were added to the high school unit. With minor additions each year since then the plant is now valued at over S500,000. During these years, thirteen men have been elected by the people to serve as school trustees. The buildings and the standards of the school are a tribute to their work. From 1934 to the present, the names of Julius Tuttle, Jo Bander, Johnny Bumpus, Ray Fisher, Gene Sweeney, Tom Sturgis, T. G. Idom, S. L. Williams, J. A. Sessums, Paul Brower, Bill Bingham, L. E. Kern, and C. L. Shoupe have been signed to school docu- ments during their terms of office. Since 1942 R. E. Anderson has been the superintendent. With the war, securing teachers and maintaining the standards rather than build- ing additions have been the school problem. Gas and rubber rationing took away from the school many motives and incentives for scholastic attainment. Competition dwindled to that only on the football field. The readjustment of the school to the war program has been steadily in progress with mathematics and science classes becoming more essential and receiving more emphasis. The school term of 1942-43 brought about the 6-3-3 organization of the school The Junior High School met the state requirements during this year and received its due recognition. The library houses over 6,000 books which are used by the community as well as the students. Ninety monthly magazines and numerous weekly publications make the library a unit to point to with pride. The school area covers approximately twelve square miles and is made by eleven bus trips each morning to bring the 562 students to school. The cafeteria staff of five serves lunches to the entire school. These five, together with the bus drivers and janitors, bring the school employees to a total of fifty four. White Oak School has met the standards of the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges since 1936. The work of the students and the training of the teachers must meet certain requirements set up by the association to attain and maintain membership. Ten of the present teach- ers hold Master of Arts degrees from graduate schools. Nothing holds greater interest in the White Oak Community than the pride of the football team, the Roughnecks. Over and above one-act plays, inter-scholastic league, band and other school activities, the stories of the victories of the White Oak eleven can be heard around the globe as former Roughnecks rest between battle. Service stripes, cam- paign ribbons, silver wings and a few gold stars now take the place of football letters and awards. Letters come each week from former students who are serving their country. As White Oak has sought to keep and build citizens for peace, her activities now are diverted by the war, but the activities of the past still linger and bring pleasant memories to students, teachers, and patrons.

When this class entered High School, it was the largest Freshman Class in the history of the school, there were 72 in all. At once, the class of '44 became part of the High School end many of the clubs prospered by the new, industrious members. In '40 the Freshmen Class worked long and hard for their candidate for Football Queen, GLORIA HOLLEYMAN. When the votes were counted, the Freshmen won. First year in High School with a victory in the Football Queen Contest! -1-, .J Another victory for the class was the One-Act Play, WThe Pot Boilern. Two Freshmen, MARGARET GIBBONS and GLORIA HOLLEYMAN, were cast. The White Oak play placed first at District and second at Regional meet.

NORMA SHOUPE, Parlimentarian for the White Oak Homemaking Club, was elected Parlimentarian for this Region of the Club.

In 1941-42-the Sophomore Class was still a large and loyal class. The English classes compiled a book. UWho's Who at White Oahu, and presented it to the school library.

WINLON KNOWLES, class sponsors of the Junior Class. ' The Senior Class of '44 has 37 members, which is only about half of the number which entered High School as Freshmen in '4O. Eleven boys from this Senior Clase earned the school letter in football as Regional Champs. Eight of these were elected G3 Honorary Captains. Several of the boys also lettered in basketball. Five of the six Pep Leaders were elected from the Senior Class. GLORIA HOLLEYMAN was elected for her second year.

The ggggmbly program in the morning was devoted to the HKid Dayn antics and after the noon bell rang, the class went on a pcinic and spent the rest of the day enjoying their freedom with a show party and a class party that night to end up the fun.

Their sponsors, Miss Dorothy Cox snd Mr. Noble Williams, the class officers, President, Billy Rogers, Vice-President, Ray Lowry, and Secretary-Treasurer, Florene Francisco, led the Juniors to 1 victorious Roughneck gPeethesrt Contest with e winning totsl of S209,52 for candidate Nell Bumpus. The Sophomore officers were Billy Hart, President, Mery Ann Utzmen, 1 K 1 ' y- - Ad Vice-President, and Geraldine Cheek, Secretary-Treasurer. Doris Cole was the class' nominee for the Roughneck Sweetheart Contest. Mr. H. C. Cheek and Miss Elaine Carville sponsored the class. The Sophomore party in the Tyler State Park high-lighted the activities of the year. As Freshmen the class had the largest class roll in high school. Being unsuccessful in their attempt to elect Mary Ann Utzman Roughneck Sweetheart, the class became determined to elect Nell Bumpns to re- present White Oak in the annual Christmas Parade in Longview. The de- termination lasted and the class won. George Kutch led the class as President with Dan Williams, Vice-President and Gloria Moore, Secretary- Treasurer. Twenty-four members of the class were Band members-almost half of the total number. The Juniors of '44 are an intelligent, talented, and cooperative group of students. ifn f , 1 J 3 k fl ,r.

The football team nom- inates one girl from each of the top four classes. The respective classes sponsor their candidate and the votes are one cent each. Throughout the race it was a toss-up between the junior candidate, Nell Bumpus, and the Senior candidate, Margaret Gibbons, while the Sophomores and Freshmen gave little competition. The Juniors raffled a turkey, but the Seniors came back with a ham raffle All the classes gave plays. The Juniors sponsored a negro football game and the same night the Seniors sponsored a game tournament. Also on the same date the Junior's pep rally and the second performance of the Senior's play took place. When the contest ended, the Juniors had S209.52, and the Seniors were close behind with S202,17. The money was used to provide class activities and to help finance the annual. The climax of the contest was the presentation of the Sweetheart and the candidates at the half of the Pine Tree-White Oak game. The girls were ex- corted out on the field by members of the football team and the identity of the winner was disclosed. This contest was the closest race that White Oak ever had. The Beauty and the Beast Contest is sponsored annually by the UGauger.H This year Betty Sturgis was elected Beauty and Roy Miller, Beast. This '44 race held the in- terest of the entire student body, as keen competition between the contestants came to its climax. Runners-up in this contest were Fern Smith and Patty Boyle. The managers of the contest- ants good-naturedly battled pro and con--especially Nero Osburn and Gene Kern. As the ballots came in, first one, then the other would be in the lead. The HGauger'sH Beauty and Beast Contest of 1944 was the big- gest ever! BETTY JO STURGIS ROY MILLER V - 'vilw SGH!!! ,,g-'r' 'Mil Z Q5 R S .

This year with all the other shortages White Oak decided not to have a uniformed pep squad, but to elect six pep leaders to lead the entire student body in yells. Several girls tried out and Gloria Gene Holley- man, former leader Mary Lou Mason, Louise Mcwhirter, La Dot White, Earline Young, and Gloria Moore were elected Pep Leaders by the popular vote of the students. These girls praised our team to give them courage and cheered them on to victory when the going got tough, never tiring, never complaining of bad weather. These pepsters cheered not only the first half but untilthe whistle blew ending the second half. We're grateful to you,morale builders,for your 1001 backing of the Rough- necks and the fun you've provided. ru. sg L 5 L .. , . mn... .,..,,, . ef .-W f' , Q . 7 s Q ,a.,,, ' ' ,, e t 1 Q. wit f-,, Cai, gglilqv I yiagaw A, igQ 1 I Elia ,et ,5 2 EiA55H15tn 39665, t, QQDK vs' N : ,, sq ' .-.r A,-,, hw, ' ' V ,W f 4 1q.m-ii I ' Q':' , s ' .

White Oak, the only school to represent District 23-A in Regional play, won its second consecutive Region 6 Championships through the efforts of this year's Roughneck squad. Coeched by R. H. Dobbs, now Lt. fj.g.j in the Navy, and Johnny Garrison, soon to be one of Uncle Sam's favorite nephews, the 1943 club leaves an enviable record to be carried on by next year's boys, HUndefeated and untied in district play for three years.H SCHEDULE White Oak--12 Leverettls Chapel--0 The Roughnecks opened their season with a 12-0 victory over Leverett's Chape1's formidable eleven. The first tally came the third play of the game on a pass from the HLion's 40 yard line. The remaining score was direct result of a blocked punt by the White Oak line. White Oak--20 Gilmer--19 White Oak started the game by scoring on the third play but left the field at the half trailing the rampaging Buckeyes 19-14. Taking the field again they rocked the Gilmer eleven until the final gun and managed to push through the stubborn Gilmer line to make it 20- 19. White Oak--38 Brownsboro--21 The Roughnscke were behind for the second time of the season 7-6 at the half in the Brownsboro game. However, in the last two quarters the UNecksN hit pay dirt five times while the Bears scored twice. The game ended 38-21 for White Oak. White Oak--32 Sabine--6 The Maroon and White boys sub- dued a savagely fighting Sabine eleven by playing them off their feet to the tune of 32-6. If 100k- ed Hnip and tucku at the half with the score standing 7-6 but in the latter portion the White Oakiane ran roughshod netting four more touchdowns. White Oak--13 Jud99n 0 The White Oak boys edged past a stubborn Blue Devil team in a spiritedly fought tilt 13-0- The Roughneck counts came in the first and last quarters and the repre- sentatives of White Oak had to battle all the way. white Ogk--19 Union Grove--7 For the first time in confer- ence play the Roughnecks were com- pletely pushed around. While they did nothing for themselves they did hold the Union Grove boys to only 7 points the first half. In the lest section time had changed everything --White Oak, doing without thought of dying, scored three times and the game ended with the UNeck8N leading the conference. 1277. eve 99 fc- , 1 7 -.,- - -1. ---,-.f f2.H. DOBBS Qoack White Oak--26 Pine Tree-- The first period with White Oak's traditional rival found both sides threatening but no score. White Oak opened up in the second quarter to score twice in quick succession. The last half ended with Pine Tree still unable to cross the Roughneck goal line while White Oak scored two more touchdowns. White Oak--12 New London--0 The boys from White Oak drew first blood late in the first quarter. The first half saw no more scoring but both sides coming dangerously close at times. Late in the game White Oak scored again to pmt the game on the ice. It ended 12-0 in White Oak's favor. The Victors and 1943 District Champs. White Oak--2 Grapeland--1 White Oak met the invading Grape- land Sandies on a rain soaked field and copped their second Regional Championship by a bare 2-1 penetra- tions margin. The White Oak marks came in the first and third quarters. The Lone Sandy penetration occurred in the second quarter G 71 ll'1'UB'l'Vll'!P '4l9 V 5 ' V ' '-.L1'lllln.lC'1'U. The guys from White Oak ran wil-21 over the Lindale crew 40-0. The final score wasn't so spectacular but the fact that four of the HNecksH tallies came in the first period made it un- usual. White Oak--26 East Mountain--7 White Oak started scoring early and scored twice on passes in the first quarter. In the second quarter the wnire on eleven came back to score two more touchdowns which fin- ished the scoring for the first half. The only remaining score came when East Mountain blocked a White Oak kick and went over for a touchdown. White Oak--12 Mt. Pleasant--13 White Oak scratched first by pushing over early in the first quarter. So ended the scoring for the first half with White Oak 6, Mt. Pleasant 0. In the third quarter White Oak scored again followed by a 70 yard touchdown for Mt. Pleasant. In the final two minutes of play Mt. Pleasant caught a fumble in mid air and went 90 yards for the winning touchdown. Two facts make this game interesting. It was the first defeat for a White Oak team in three years, and the defeat was made by former Coach Knowles' team.

The war has affected the band this year as it has almost everythlng else. Because of the shortage of directors, our rival, Pine Tree, generously shared Nr. White wi th White Oak.

This seemed to help the good nexghbor polir-lv a great deal too bn-c-ausv at football gamea the bands romlained and cheered 1-arh other's teams. At the White Oak Dine Tree game though the two bands just naturally split up. The- bands also gave a joint epring wont-ert the highlight of the'xr year.
