This year, because the strain of war has been lifted and priorities have been lessened, we are happy to bring you a larger book than last year's LARIAT. We shall feel that our efforts are not in vain if, at some future date when browsing through this book, you will recall pleasant memories and faces of your Will Rogers High School friends in the year of 546. With this thought in mind, we present to you THE 1946 LARIAT. ft ,I JM in ' H Jud fl AM oululv 1 fl alfecficafiorz 67 ALL ROGERITES who gave a period of their lives and left their homes and loved ones to help bring peace and understanding between nations and to help promote World Brotherhood. Following the example of Oklahoma's famous Will Rogers, who was our first Ambassador of Good Will, our classmates, alumni, and faculty members have done much to bring about a spirit of friendship and under- standing between the peoples of many lands throughout the world. Now when the world is again at peace and the guns are silent, we must learn the value of friendship with all peoples. It is with sincere feeling and hope for a new and better world that we dedicate this l946 LARIAT. fill 1 S-N K, X N, ii? 5? ik ORDER OF BOOKS ff?

The Guidance Staff has, in the past several years, Worked extra hours to send our students to war with good records. Now that Victory has been Won, and the former students are returning the Guidance Staff has the added responsi- bility of adjusting the returning veterans to school activities. The aim of this staff is to better the student as a whole and this task does not rest in the hands of one individual but is the responsibility of the entire faculty. It is to them and the faculty that We, the students of Will Rogers High School, owe a debt of gratitude, for they have strived to give us the hope and inspiration with which to meet the future. Mas.

This discussion concerning covers was just one of the many held by the Rogers Publica- tions Board before the 1946 Lariat went to press. Page 75 In their morning meetings the Board mem- bers discussed suggestions brought from the yearbook class and also served as the final voting group in making decisions about the Lariat. The board was composed of five faculty members and ten senior members. Miss Caro- line Copeland served as chairman. Other faculty members were C. C. Pruitt, business manager, Mrs. Myrtle Spillman, art, Mrs. lone Kubik, commerce, and E. G. Setliff, photography. Senior members were: Barbara McKay, secretary, LaFleura DeShan, student business manager, Irene Taylor, Donna Briggs, and Alan Denny, student art representatives, Ray Bergman, photographer, Emil Schoenfeldt, representative from thte Senior Board, and Helen Cantrell, Joan Palmer, and Norma Jean Lindsay were representatives from the year- book class. up Here's Your Lariat Ready to Sign It's T00 Mach Work to Make a Rhyme Fourth hour in 405 was really buzzing all year and as a result you are now the proud possessor of the 1946 Lariat. The seniors really dressed up for the first time to have those glamorous senior pic- tures taken . . . the boys as well as the girls! And then a few weeks later came those sopho- more and junior pictures. Oh, what fun to cut, paste and occasionally chop someones head off . . . fin the pictures, of courselj The photographers finally thawed out from tak- ing football boys pictures in the snow on the coldest day of the year . . . only to be met by stormy blasts from the faculty wanting re- takes on their pictures. We are still wondering and will always wonder if the sophomores and juniors have turned in some of their pictures. The authors of some of the Yearbook write- ups and clever remarks under the snapshots, still prefer to remain anonymous!

While half of the staff dashed out to inter- view the same teacher, the other half tried to type on the three battered old typewriters that should have been discarded long before the war. But by some miracle fand a lot of hard workj the paper always got to press. Sample of original headlines, feature stories, and other literary masterpieces often appeared on the bulletin board in the Publications Office.

Page 77 QP lt's a Grand Group for Singing A Cappella Choir was organized at Will Rogers in 1940 for the study of music with- out accompaniment. It is an outstanding musical organization and is frequently called upon for performances in assemblies and for civic organizations. Choir performances have been less frequent this year than in the past because of a change in directorship. Since the retirement of George Oscar Bowen the choir is under the capable direction of Wyatt C. Freeman. They appeared on several assemblies this year, and sang in the annual Messiah. They attended the state choir meetings at Stillwater on January 31, and February 1 and 2. They also appeared at the annual Spring Festival at the Coliseum. The choir which is open to any student in school, who can qualify in ability, scholar- ship, and citizenship, includes training for the proper use of the voice. The best in choral literature is studied and presented by the choir.

The officers were elected from the members of the board who volun- teered their services. With the war now over, rehabilitation for peace will have to take place and the young women of today will have a very active part to play. The Girls' Forum is helping the girls of Rogers to accomplish this task. The Girls' Forum is composed of all the girls enrolled in Will Rogers. They have monthly meetings which are presided over by their officers. At certain intervals the classes meet separately and are presided over by their respective vice-presidents. This year the Girls' Forum made arrange- ments for a hair stylist, an interior decorator, and a style expert to speak to the girls on their careers. The organization is sponsored by Mrs. Pauline C.

Echoes In Halls as Hi-Y's Give Weird Calls To create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community high standards of Christian character is the purpose of the Will Rogers chapter of Hi-Y. This chapter was founded in 1940, and has been an active group since that time. Hi-Y and Kappa Keystoners enjoyed a wonderful week-end at camp this year, and then, after they returned, all we could hear was Dingee-yo-ho! echoing through the building. When you heard this weird cry you knew someone in Hi-Y was near. This call introduced their annual membership drive. The roof of the Y. M. C. A. building prob- ably raised about three feet in the air and the walls vibrated every Monday evening, at the gay gathering with the Kappa Keystoners, that took place after meetings.

Stage Crew Learn New Tricks as They Help Produce Rogers Show Armed with paint brushes, hammers and an assortment of carpenters tools, this army of boys put real color into the Rogers stage productions. One of the hardest jobs they have is chang- ing scenery between acts of the various plays and the annual Round-Up. The club is to be commended on accomplishing such a tre- mendous task so effectively. In addition to all this the Stagecraft boys take care of assemblies by setting the stage, putting up the mike, and by performing many other duties which are known only to the stage hands Qwork, work, worklj. The hours that each boy Works are record- ed and when he has 120 hours he receives one credit. John Black, who returned from the Coast Guard in January, took H. A. Allenderis place as sponsor and director of the club. Mr. Black was Stagecraft director at Will Rogers before he entered the service. Page 90 STAGECRAFT Front Row, left lo rigbt- H. C.

Long be- fore the opening night, the Round-Up Board was as busy as a group of beavers. They re- viewed the lovely choruses, laughed over un- reasonable comedy skits, and attempted to weave the various parts into one beautiful finished production. The theme for the show Rhythmerica was I Hear America Singingf' It depicted the various types of moods in the music of America.

The membership drive was held during the first two weeks of November and Will Rog- ers was the first high school in Tulsa to reach 100 per cent. A few weeks later the home rooms began filling Christmas boxes for overseas. A total of 110 boxes were filled. Even though the war had been won the Red Cross continued its service to others by collecting paper, entertaining crippled chil- dren, furnishing gifts for the people at the county home who had birthdays in March and collecting old clothes for the old clothes drive.

Another big job they have is taking pictures for School Life. Often there is an audience around the dry- ing room, in the small closet space on the stairs-especially when some pictures of foot- ball heroes, Sadie Hawkins beauties, or other such interesting subjects are coming off the electric print dryer. In the dark room, located on the third floor, during each period of the day, you'll find some photographer mixing hypo, print- ing and enlarging pictures, or doing one of the many other jobs assigned to him by the sponsors, Miss Caroline Copeland and Mr. E.

Dudes officers this year were Margie Rust, president, Geraldine Graves, vice-presidentg Martha Poyner, secretary, Leta Mae Holt, treas- urerg Carolyn Montgomery, student council representative. Their sponsor is Mrs. Frances Frankenbery. Marjorie Rust appeared in our assemblies this year to receive the trophies from the defeated Webster and Central pep clubs. From Webster she accepted the Warriorette Doll, and from Central, she received the Tomahawk rattler. These 300 girls, also, have the heavy responsi- bility of planning and organizing the Sadie Hawkins Day affairs. QP CC ur Team ls Red Hot! just Look What Weave Gotfv- The Ranglers UTEAM!! TEAM!!! echoed from the boys' gym at Will Rogers many a Wednesday morning as the sixty-odd members of the Ranglers exer- cise their vocal chords. How do they get so much pep so early in the morning? The Ranglers have contributed a real service to their school, since the pep club was organized in 1939, by promoting friendly rivalry between YVill Rogers High School and other schools. During the year they had two hayrides and a dance, and attended several out-of-town games. Oh! those buses! Never again!! were the cries heard as they came rolling home from these journeys in the wee small hours of the morning. Mr. Kenneth Seamans was replaced by Mr. Frederick Webb as the sponsor of this group of boys when Mr. Seamans left the Rogers teaching staff in November. Then they lost Mr. Webb when he returned to the F. B. I. in January. To earn a letter the Ranglers must have 200 points. These are obtained by attendance at meetings and athletic events and by ushering at plays. Eleven boys received letters this year. Officers of the club are Martin Richards, presidentg Don Haeberle, vice-presidentg How- ard Whitlatch, secretaryg Phillip Sears, treasurer. The officers for the year 1946-47 were elected early in May.

This affair resulted in a three way tie with none of the Tulsa prep schools scoring a touchdown. Wfill Rogers met and defeated the Okmulgee Bulldogs 24-6 for their first conference victory of the 1945 football season. The much prepared for Rogers-Central classic was one of the best games our little grid- iron greats played the current season. A game the Braves would undoubtedly like to for- get. As the Ropers from Will Rogers handed the Centralites one of their worst shellack- ings in their history. Our boys scored to victory to the tune of 19 to Of, The following week Rogers journeyed to play host to the Sand Springs to compete in a non-conference game which proved to Tulsa prep fans thatithe Roperg were definitely a team to watch.

The Rogers-Muskogee game came out as expected and the Tulsans finished with a total of 19,points to the Roughers 6. Muskogee Was never able to offer a real threat during the entire game. We expected Sapulpa to be an easy victory, but the Chieftains made a close game of the fumble marred contest. However the team rallied to punch over a single game Winning touchdown. This years Ft. Smith game was a real thriller. Determined to take this game despite the fact that nearly the entire team Was suffering from the flu epidemic our boys did just that. The final count Was 12-0. Next came the Bartlesville Wildcats. After holding the Will Rogers Ropers to a 'score- less half, they were out classed during the last twenty-four minutes.

On their own court the hustling Ropers were victorious over their cross-town opponents Webster, 28-16, This game kept the Ropers in first place for championship. The scrappy Roper quintet suffered its third defeat of the season when they journeyed to Muskogee and there bowed to the much-favored Roughers, 37-19. In a return engagement with the Okmulgee Bulldogs, Forward Tom White scored a free throw to break a tie and win the game 29-28, on the Ropers' home court. Playing this time on Tulsa Central's home court, the Ropers were knocked out of the city championship with a score of 22-34. Faced again by the revengeful Webster Warriors, on the Warriors' court, the Ropers were downed, suffering their fourth defeat, with the score 37-33. With Will Rogers the guests of Sapulpa, the Ropers went to work to avenge an earlier defeat by triumphing over the Chieftains, 32-26. Again, on an out-of-town court, the Ropers played a fast and furious game with Paw- huska. The game was tied 46-46 and at the end of the overtime period, the Pawhuska Huskies had edged over with a one-point lead, leaving the final score 49-48. Page 120 In Support of the Gold and Blue The Ropers gave an excellent account of themselves against their most high-powered rival, Muskogee. However, the Roughers overpowered them in a hard-fought contest, the last Conference game of the season for the Rogers quintet, by a score of 43-29. In the regional tournament, held in the Rogers gymnasium, February 28, March 1 and 2, the Ropers were defeated by the Pryor quintet, 32-36.

Page 122 Yea Trackmen - State Champions Again Last spring the Will Rogers track team made an excellent showing for themselves capturing first place in all but one meel. The season got off to a smashing start when they traveled to Shawnee, placing first with 85 points and holding the Wolves to 33 points. The following week the Ropers team defeated its city rival, Central, 69 to 51. March 31 brought victory for the Rogers team at Stillwater, capturing first place with 64 points. Again the Ropers traveled to Shawnee to the invitational meet coming in second to Central. Arriving home, the team proved its caliber in winning the team title at the Tulsa University relays. On the return to Stillwater on April 28, the cinder team again proved their well roundedness in winning the relay meet with 45 points. The city meet, with all three local high schools was next on the schedule and Rogers again emerged first, with 63 points. One week later the Ropers won both the Conference and Re- gional meet collecting 75 points after the smoke had cleared away.

The Ropers tennis team had only two local matches last fall, bowing both times to Central. Their one out-of-town engagement was the Kansas - Oklahoma Inter - State Invitational Tournament at Winfield, Kansas, where the Ropers played second. With the let-up in transportation difficulties itil? 'a is CHAMPION RAY ALVERSON - Rogers Wrestling Captain the scheduling of matches was made much easier for spring. This year there were four returning A squad men and one letterman. These were Louis Lundquist, Don Burns, John Greenstreet, with Buddy McCune the returning letterman.

Page 124 Groans and M oans Echo From Gym As Wrestlers Show Vigor and Vim Coach Jack Gott's Rasslin' Ropers started off this year's wrestling season with a victory over the Cleveland High School team by a score of 39-5. Their efforts were then spent in defeating the Ponca City Wildcats for the first home match, 34-6. The next march resulted in the third straight victory with the Bristow Purple Pirates being the victims. Rogers' first defeat was suffered at the hands of their cross-town rivals, Central, on January 18. This was a thrilling battle, which saw the lead change hands many times, but with Central's power in the heavier weights becoming evident as the Braves triumphed 23-11. Following the Central clash, the Ropers met their second cross-town rival, Webster, and showed their improved ability with a score of 28-7. The next week a turn-away crowd of over 2500 fans watched Central score a repeat per- formance by the identical score of 23-11 on the Central mat. It was an upset packed match, with Rogers taking an early lead. It appeared for a while that the Ropers might win but Cen- tral's power finally asserted itself. On February 7, the Ropers defeated Webster again on the home mat with the Warriors going down before the Rogerites by a score of 24-12. The next day the Ropers traveled to Okla- homa City to defeat the Oklahoma City Central Cardinals by a score of 23-15. This completed a successful season with a record of six won and two lost.

Page 125 Figure - - atively Speaking Following a balanced and varied sports program, many Rogers girls have been striving to attain the peak of physical fitness. Instead of working on a physical fitness for victory project, they have now turned to physical fitness for peacef' Carried out in a year-round program, there are two divisions. One is the indoor sports, and the other is the outdoor sports. During the winter and bad weather, the gym classes still enjoy themselves in swimming, volley ball, calisthenies, basketball, tumbling, and modern dancing. Consideration is also given to better improve posture through special classes. Posture pictures are taken, which enable each girl to know how her posture can be improved. In the fall and spring much is done out-of-doors. They get plenty of fresh air and sunshine while playing softball, field hockey, and speedball. Ably directing the classes are Miss Frances Holton, Mrs. Frances Frankenberry, and Miss Lola B. Trusty. Altogether these gym classes are working together to make healthier, happier America. Page 126 Dear Seniors . . Hallelujah -May 25th, and school is finally out. This has been a year that we will all re- member - ? ? ? ? September the fifth started off with a bang. New books, new schedules, new friends, new rules, but oh brother! -Same old teachers. First day of school in the cafeteria was really a dilly - kind of like Sears' basement on dollar day. We ran out of forks and ended up eating our cake with spoons. That poor last lunch hour couldnit do anything but look at the empty plates. Miss Gartman,s office, full of people wanting to get their schedules changed, was really a sight. The office crew had a crowd in their midst also. It ended late in January with everyone satisfied f ? ? ? ? J with his schedule. Coach Lieb Richmond's Ramblin' Ravin' Rogers Roper played the Muskogee Roughers for the first game of the season. The Ropers ended up on top by a score of 19-0. September 17, 1945 at 3:3 S p.m. DETEN- TION BEGAN-Oh boy-some of the Fellas will be at home down there until the last part of May. Those poor detention teachers had to wrestle with guys like Logan Mann - at 205 pounds. The second football game of the year found us at Skelly Stadium facing the Central Qnot soj Braves. By the end of the first quarter, they were ready to go back to town. We fairly stomped them, yep-19-0. Captain Bill Goon Garner really led us to some swell victories.- The morning before the game, Tulu QMCJ Kirk- patrick came to our pep assembly and challenged Marjorie Rust with the customary implements of challenge. Starry-eyed sophomores had their elections of class officers. They were so scared, they still don't know Whom they elected . . .! Speaking of officers, our senior class had a president who really went to town, that was Jim McGuire. He and his able crew certainly did some good things for our class. Senior class play really went over with a bang. You Can,t Take It With You, starred Louis Lundquist, as grandpa, Jane Pobst and Norma Lou Lawrence shared honors for the main part as Alice. Mary Elizabeth Tucker, as Rheba the colored maid, brought the house down in a roar. Coronation of Football Queen saw the Roger- ites putting their votes for Miss Joyce Jones. Her Royal Highness' attendants were, Seniors, Patty Anderson and Madeleine McKinney, Juniors, Claris North and Sammye Whaley, Sophomores, Jody Gibson and Carolyn Rinner. Senior pictures, wow!! . . . sweat and toil was all there was to it. Poor Mr. and Mrs. Tip- ton, it sure was a tussle for them. First takes, retakes, and more retakes, and still unsatisfied customers. Finally everyone got a picture taken. Cafeteria, after a fashion, was getting to be a little less crowded. It seemed that a lot of the kids liked to go to the Pig-Stand and Silver Castle. Of course everyone that left the school campus had a lunch pass. The football team was really going to town by now. Let's see, we had beaten Muskogee, Ok- mulgee, Ft. Smith, Central, Webster, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Bartlesville, Henryetta, Still- water, Ponca City, and a few others. Finally after copping the Oklahoma 6-A Conference Title, we were defeated in the-Oklahoma State Championship game by Duncan, and held the title of Runner Up. The score for this game was 17-7. Talk about places being crowded . . . remember the town of Norman, Oklahoma? P ? ? Rogers students fairly occupied that town. Royalty was again the thing in mind when the time came for the loyalty night football game. Band Queen was the position in ques- tion, and Joyce Bradley, senior, walked off the field with the honors. The sophomores are finally getting the hang of the school. They are even walking down the middle of the halls instead of edging along the walls, with their eyes all bugged out. Page 127 Students didn't know just where they stood half the time around the old school this year. The faculty was changing regularly, with three marriages and one teacher leaving for another job. First was Miss Marguerite Smith, English teacher, who was married in November and left school to live in Texas. During the Christmas holidays Miss Catharine Crissey and Miss Frances Jones both changed their names. Frederick Webb, Science teacher, left school in January to take over his old job with the F.B.I. His position was filled by H. E. McPhail. Just before the Christmas holidays, the seniors were oobing and ahhing for their cap and gown measurements. These were taken in home rooms. Some of the boys grew a little, and theirs didn't fit when graduating time came around. About this time, unsatisfactory slips were sent to the parents of failing students. We started to wonder if the measurements were going to do any good. Coach Hiram AleXander's basketball quintet started off a plenty good season, beating CEN- TRAL and a few others. The wrestling team, coached by Jack Gott, pulled a few plenty good ones, when we beat everyone but Central. Oh, well, everyone can get a little lucky . . . Oh, Yea! Ray Alverson won his match at the State meet. Q Sadie Hawkins day is one we will never forget. Gals were putting the snatch on the guys as they came through the door, and putting a corsage of onions and other fragrant fruit on their prey. Some of the boys were easy to catch, but some of them played hard to get. and really played havoc with the little ladies. That's the day one class threw some shoes out of the window. Brother, talk about bad grades at the end of float semester . . . . WOW . . . MYSTERY. A Grumman Navy Hellcat zoomed onto the Will Rogers rear parking lot at a speed of eight miles per hour Thursday morning, January Sth, towed by a truck and escorted by the police . . . After sitting there for a couple of weeks, the words Central were written on it in bold type with white paint . . . We wouldn't Dut the blame on anybody, but it does look kind of evident. Page 128 Now that the war is over fthe fighting partj , we quit collecting tin cans and bent our collec- tion efforts on waste paper and old clothing, which we could send to the devastated countries, where it could be put to use. Another good deal was when the meat ration- ing ended, and people started eating ham sand- wiches in the cafeteria instead of peanut butter. The biggest waste of flash bulbs and photog- raphers, nerves started when they began taking faculty pictures. Those teachers were worse than the student body! QHow about that, Miss Moran and Mr. Gunderson?j All-school forums seemed to be the thing students wanted after our first one, sponsored by the Student Council, in January. John Gor- man and Louis Lundquist nearly came to blows over the question of leadership. Shirley Barton was fuming at Charles Dickerson and some of the sophomores because of some remarks about the Round-Up. Finally Phil Wyrick, Council Presi- dent, managed to close the meeting, after several attempts. Following the forum, students col- lected in the halls to continue their arguments that had been cut short when the forum ad- journed. Students who were planning to be in the Round-Up, practiced from nine o'clock in the morning until 3:30 p.m., then didn't come to school until 10:00 a.m. the next morningf The title for this year's Round-Up was. Rhythm- emricaf' with I Hear America Singingf, as the theme. We hate to end this before including the Prom, Commencement, Senior Week, and all that comes at the end of school, but this thing has to go to press early, so everyone will have a Lariat to sign before school closes. Well, Seniors, keep in touch with your Alma Mater, and she will do the same thing for you. And, remember, whatever business you go into, here's wishing you all the luck and success in the world. Your faithful friends, THE LARIAT STAFF. Page 129 Y m, 7,,Y 7 - 4... , ...... if ... 0 i n E t?- Q .u vnu Write By Hand 42 il? Sk ,N Say It With Words Si? ik JL,,,LM . y I - 8 K - ,f - .
