Then, too, the Banquet which they gave the Seniors on the evening of April thirtieth was indeed a beautiful and1 elaborate affair. THE DRILLER SOPHOMORE CLASS President, Leatrice Goodell.

Mildred Barnett, Junita Dowdy, and' Thelma McDonald were among the nine girls who won a loving cup for our school in Glee Club.

Mildred was elected in a contest in which six other girls were candidates, all from the Freshman Class. The Queen chose Oather Yeatts as King and the two presided with great pomp and ceremony. The Freshman Class hopes to establish the St. Patrick party as an annual affair for all succeeding Freshmen. You may be sure that they were a joyful bunch when they learned fiat their Beauty Queen, Mildred Taylor, won in the contest for the most ponular girl in Wilson High. Mildred’ was well supported by her classmates and the Freshmen have certainly shown an ability to hold their own in W. H. S.

This is not a secret organization, as the name would imply, but it is an unusual Club. When this Club was organized at the beginning of the Second semester of 1926 and the name submitted to the High School, everyone laughed, but as the school year closes, the laugh goes the other way. The word “Ikikilkie” means, “Striving for success,” and every member of this Club has lived up to the name to the extent that it is one of the outstanding Clubs of Wilson High School Everything undertaken by this Club has been a success. One of the greatest benefits derived by each member of the Club has been in the memorizing of Kipling’s “If.” Another successful undertaking was the play “The Hicksville Bungler” in which this Club with the Scribblers went “over the top” and made it possible for the Basket Ball Girls of ’26 to have sweaters. The Ikikilkies say: “He who laughs last laughs best.” TiHiirrrfiiiiiiiiiiiiinTMfn THE DRILLER SCRIBBLERS’ CLUB (LEFT TO RIGHT—BACK ROWS) Mary O’Donnell, Lucille Williams, Dow Jack-son, Jo Whitaker, Mosa Mettry, Mabel Watson, Ruby Lee Richeson, Thelma Martin, Ollie Watson, Deva Watson, Miss Keller, Edith Nichols, Valita Tadlock, Georgia Branham, Pearl Riggs, Bernice Lee, Audrey Gandy, Gladys Walton, Edith Swan, Ruthie Lee Gilbert, Mary Squires, Lillie Mae Doty, Wilmer Raleigh, Iola Jones, Ida Holden, Edward Phelps, Irene Parkhill, Miss Cordill.

In order to arouse competition the members were divided into two groups, “The Rattlesnakes,” and “Blue Racers.” Much information was obtained by studying Maps, Rivers, Mountains, Islands and Large Cities.

Where could one get better training or experience than in acting as a “Care-taker of Books ?” It is certainly worth while training one receives in a library, it means the association with good literature; it teaches the conve nience and necessity of filing things with precision and accurateness. One is familiarized with standard authors, their ideas and mode of expression. This is the first year “W. H. S.” has ever had a completely organized library. The facts: 950 volumes are aranged by classification, according to the Dewey decimal system. The fiction, 455 volumes are arranged alphabetically by the authors’ surnames. The books total approximately 1,405 volumes. We also have an extensive subscription to many good periodicals, which enables the students of Wilson High School to keep themselves well informed on current literature and modern views and discussions. The club is still in its infancy having only been in existence two months. However big things are expected for next year. Just watch the Warriors Drill next year.

THE DRILLER HAZEL CATES Senior Class Queen RALPH OWENS Most Popular Boy in Senior Class THE DRILLER TRACK TEAM Track being introduced into W. H. S. only three years ago is not as popular with the student body as Foot Ball and Basket Ball, but the track team has been better this year than it ever has been before and is expected to be better next year than it was this year. The members of the team are as follows: Carl Goen, (Captain) is the best mile and half miler Wilson has ever produced. Carl took third nlace at Madill last year and a third place at Ardmore this year in the county meet. Ralph Owens is the champion dash man in school this year. [Ic ran the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes and won them all for the Seniors in the class meet. Reese McCord was not so successful in track as he was in football, though he did make his letter. Reese is High Jumper and High Hurdler. Wilmer Raleigh is a two year track man. He is also High Jumper and made Broad Jumping, Discus, and Relay. Theodore (Sticks) DeBerry is the only man who won a First place this year and he took first place at the Southern Conference Meet at Chickasha, in Pole aVulting. Sticks is also a 100 and 220 yard man. Herbert Jones is a new man for Wilson but he made some of tt«e boys steo for the 440. He won Low Hurdles in the Interclass meet. Tom Jacobs is the representative Half Miler for W’ilson in the meets and took second in that event in the class meet. Also Relay manTOther members of the squad are “Titles” DeBerry, Carrie Watkins, “Jelly ’ Coleman, and Reese Owens. Tho success of the track team is due to the coaching of Mr. Eubank and Mr. Clement, who worked every evening with the beys li,' told t 'em what nir' when thev were supposed to do a certain THE DRILLER niiiiiiiiiiilllllllllfiniB THK DRILLER FOOTBALL Wilson Drillers emerged this year with the most successful football history of their short career in their wake. A hard season was in store for them from the very start. Teams such as Ardmore, Walters anil Purcell were on the list. Love Jones, fleece McCord, Joe Jacobs and Otto Hankins were the outstanding stars of the team. To Reece McCord go the supreme honors. This versatile athlete is one of the very first from Southern Oklahoma to make an All-Star position on the Mythical eleven. He was a unanimous choice of all the papers in the state for the left guard position. Not only is this man a star at football but he has mad'e letters this year in 1 rack and Basket Bail as well. Love Jones was chosen as a half back on the Red River Valley team and he well deserves the position. This man was a determining factor in the outcome of several of our important games of the year. Joe Jacobs as previously held down the All-Valley centers position. This makes the seeonr year for Joe to land this coveted place and we are sorry to see him leave us. Otto Hankins the giant left tackle made a name for himself in several cf the season’s games hy charging the passers and kickers. This man was the dread of back field men thruout the southern part of Oklahoma. A total of 108 points were scored while only ten were scored against them.

The Driller five endec4 the season with a very good record considering some misfortunes that happened during the year. Perhaps the most serious calamity was the ruling of Love Jones, stalwart guard, ineligible after Coach Eubank had perfected his team organization. Injuries caused the loss of one or two games also. At the end of the season the score-book accounted for eleven victories for the Orange and Black, and five defeats. The abbreviated schedule was occasioned by a late start due to the action of the State Athletic Board in suspending the school from the Association during the football season. A great deal of credit for the showing made by the Wilson Hi basket--eers is due Coach Dillard Eubank who spent much time and effort every C'ay endeavoring to develop a winning combination. The record was not as good as that made by the football eleven but the handicap was much greater. Captain Tom Jacobs did most of the stellar work for the team. He led the scoring and in addition played a good defensive game. Tom is one of the best dribblers in the state and works the ball down the court with uncanny regularity. Tom will captain the squae again next year. Ralph Owens bore the brunt of the defensive work being the most effective man under the basket. Ralph finished his fourth year under Wilson High School colors this year and his record as an all-around man compares favorably with that of any man ever to graduate from this institution. Space does not allow comment on the ability of all members of the team, hut they are all deserving of worthy comment. All lettermen, with the except'on of Harry Jcnes and Ralph Owens, will be back for another year with the team. Those awarded letters and sweaters at the close of the season are: Captain Tom Jacobs, Ralph Owens, Harry Jones, Roeee McCord, Herman Jacobs, Then Pollock ar..rl Sticks DeBerry.

Gwendolyn Lanthripe, Guard. Iva McCabe, Guard. Mable Patrick, Substitute. The Basket Ball Season this year has not been’unsuccessful. Neither has it been inglorious, although thfj girls did not win a victory in every game. The outlook at the beginning of the year was very discouraging, but all obstacles were Overcome, and at the end of the year a good team rounded out the season. in the Oil Field Tournament at Healdton the Drilj leretts won a victory over Dundee and were permitted to play in the semi-finals but were defeated by Wheeler. By far the best game of the season was the last one. The Drilleretts met Healdton in the County Tournament here. This was the only game the girls were permitted to play with Healdton during the season, and each girl on both teams played fyer best. The blowing of the whistle at the end of the fourth quarter sounded a victory for Wilson, and, incidentally, the most beautiful cup of all those awards, was presented to the Wilson Girls. In appreciation of the Basket Ball Girls of ’26 the High School presented them with beautiful sweaters. THE DRILLER J nTllllllllllllllllllllllll llllliTMM MILDRED TAYLOR Most Popular Girl in Wilson Hi h School THE DRILLER EDWARD PHELPS Most Popular Boy W. H. S. n|) THE DRILLER 11111 “MUMPS AND MORE MUMPS” Another brilliant success to add to the laurels already won by the Class of '26—such was the opinion of those who saw the Senior Class play, ‘Mumps and More Mumps,’ which was given at the Thompson Theatre Tuesday, March 16, and again at the Ambrose Ward school Thursday evening. Friends and classmates cf the members of the cast feel that their class could not have been better represented than by those who took part in this annual play. Each individual fitted into his or her part perfectly, consequently it is almost impossible to mention individual stars. However, Jirl Campbell, in the role of comedian was one of the favorites with the large audience which attended Tuesday evening; while Mary O’Donnell was superb as the Western girl. Hazel Cates, as Miss Laidlaw, founder of the most exclusive girls’ school in New England, played her part to perfection. Wilmer Raleigh, the oat-eating English archeologist, Mabel Patrick, the New England society girl, Ruth Cahoon, beautiful popular student, Berry Hudgins, pleasure-loving and at ease on the stage, Graydon Bigham, who quickly won his way into the hearts of stage comrades and' audience alike, Mary Squires, the busy reporter, and Buren Potts, who did his “dooty” as Sheriff—all did extremely well, as the numerous compiments from all sources attest. Ralph Owens, Nell Allen, Harry Jones, and Lucille Williams, in white costumes, with red accessories, class colors of the Seniors, were ushers; while Jo Whitaker, Joe Jacobs, and' Thelma Martin served as stage managers. Specialty numbers before the curtain and between acts were furnished by Miss Genevieve Courtright, Mrs. Winston Brown, Mrs. Karl H. Moore, Mr. Dalton Voss, Graydon Bigham and Bernice, Davis. Mrs. P. S. McGuire and Miss Florence Keller coached the play. s W iniiiiii 1 mSL III A v ‘-•s ' • . e iMIlllilllllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIII THE DRILLER THE DRILLER Senior Class Calendar September 8th Tuesday (First day of school.)

CLASS HISTORY (By Graydon Bigham) In the year of 1922, about 65 of rs entered the Wilson High School with the hope and strong determination of being one of the greatest classes Wilson High has ever produced. Our first year was a very successful one, except fori the loss of some of our member's who were afraid of failing in such subjects as Algebra, and Latin. Nevertheless most of us pulled through with satisfactory grades and on September fourth of the same year we entered school as Sophomores, but with a much smaller group, still inspired, however, by the strong determination to become Seniors. So we worked faithfully to reach that much-coveted goal; although at times it seemed, when v e had hard lessons in Geometry or Latin, that there was no future for us. But at th' end of the year, to our surprise and delight, v e were notified that we were full-fledged Juniors. At the beginning of our Junior year we elected Miss Winifred Phelps; as our Class Sponsor. This was perhaps, our most enjoyable year, as we felt proud to think nhat next term would' be our Senior and last year of our H;gh School course. So we .did our best to make this a successful one. Our first class play. “What Happened to Jones,” and the Operetta, “The Gypsy P.over,” added many laurels to our Class. Even though we were Juniors, we were perhaps the best Class in school. At least we won several honors, s”ch as the Annual Inter-Class Meet and Class Fight, and at the close of school gave the Seniors a Banquet which was reported to be the best ever given in W. H. S. , Aft'w mnnv long and studious days, and many hours of worry we reached that much-desire ' goal of our High School career, our Senior year, not the same jolly, care free sixty five who began them career four years ago, but thirty two more serious-minded and wiser students. Being wiser we now realize that our education is net complete, but iust begun, a d that life is only what we. make it Although we hate to leave Wilson High School where we have spent so many l happy hours, we are eager to take our places in the busy world. Let us share oui part of the world’s work, and as we do so, let us remember those lines of Henley’s - which have inspired millions: “It matters not how strait the gatc-How charged with punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.” gjmw liiiiiiW % •r-J i8 f� Mi!!! w % f THE DRILLER PICTORIAL REVIEW Ma BtL Meo, Tt Ti of AT H QM E H'OB A vo £4 3r TO ST V«T W th Tfrl Y S TU£ FAMIlV Cl ?C Lf glllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll' EnnHEinEinniEiEjEEE SENIOR CLASS WILL (BY RALPH OWENS) I, Berry Hucgins, do bequeath my business ability to Lawrence Coldren. 1, Mary O’Donnell do bequeath my sweet disposition to Estelle Foster.
