It is a living thing pulsing with the throbbing ardors of humanity, glowing with the fervor of immortal hopes, leaping out in ecstasies of love and dream. It is a song-the song of upward looking men. It is an altar fragrant with sacrifice. It is a garden wherefrom a nation grew, watered by the pure blood of heroes. It is the home where freemen dwell. It is the battlefield whereon honor strikes its blow for the cause of God. It is the flame springing up to consume injustice and wither the hosts of wrong. It is the voice that speaks with the eloquence of the graves where sleep those who died to make it mean purity and righteousness. He who looks upon that flag with ransomed eyes beholds within its folds the valor and the faith of Lexington and Gettysburg—the blazing eyes of the embattled farmers at Goncord bridge—the fierce splendors of the ocean that was the cradle of John Paul Jones—the clarion death cry above the ruined Alamo—the prayer of Washington at Valley Forge —the agony of Lincoln as he passed the midnight hours—and crowning all, the windswept faces of the boys who died along the thunder smitten hills of France. The flag of the United States is the glory of God shining in the faces of those who dream of a world made clean enough to be the dwelling place of God. It turns our sorrows into exultation and our sacrifices into melody of service. I'or such a flag true men will always gladly die—-for such a flag good men will always nobly live! L. C. Hodgson, Mayor of St. Paul.

If in the future, in your perusal of this volume, it brings back to you pictures of by-gone days, we will not have labored in vain. We have tried to show vou the rush ot society, the j j7 romance of the class room, victory and defeat on the athletic field and platform, not as we would have had them but as they truly were. Be kind to us, gentle reader, and remember that even the best of men make mistakes. Board of Education C. E. Sharp J. L. Miles A. W. Anderson B. F.

TYLER SI PERINTENDENT Professor Tyler came to our school from Enid, where everyone held him in the highest esteem. We have not been disappointed in selecting him to continue the great constructive work started by his predecessors. Accuracy characterizes his instruction. We admire him and rejoice in his optimistic relations with our school. He delights in labors whose output is to be enjoyed by those who follow him. His profession is not only his calling but it is his pleasure. He always finds opportunity to serve those who look to him for help. We want to be like him—practical, thoughtful and optimistic.

It's oh! how much the fame Awaiting all those students. But they succeeded just the same. They left the towns and country, And rushed into the school. And when four years were over. They had learned most all the rules. It’s over history and language They studied hard, ’tis true; But when they took up science The lessons longer grew. Their grades, they kept descending. Their minds with care were filled. But when it was all over Their troubles all were stilled. When four long years were over, They left the school so dear And went into the nations To give them truth and cheer. G. M., ’19. 20 VICTORY BOOMER. 1919 GEORGE FRANK HOOPER George Frank Hooper came to our school in the fall of nineteen hundred and sixteen. His former home was in Sulphur, where he lived with his widowed mother and went to school. He came to Woodward to work his way though school by janitoring the school house. He soon endeared himself in the hearts of all who came in contact with him, and when he was called to leave there was a great sadness in those hearts, because such a friend cannot be replaced in this world. He was Editor-elect of the Northwest Wind and was President of the S. 0. S. Club. He was a member of the Y. M. C. A. and of the Christian Church. He was a companion, a friend, a classmate, and as such his attitude was always uplifting in the highest degree. He had a vein of wit and sarcasm which was never known to cut deep. He was logical and strong, yet he was meek and dared to do right. He was sympathetic and kind. He was an athlete and all round man and a Christian. He left his work and studies, his friends, his relatives, without one protest. He accomplished in his life of twenty-two years what millions of men have failed to accomplish in lives of almost any length. He gave his lile, his all, for those principles which he thought were right, that we, who are left, may enjoy the advantages of democracy and of equality. Although we owe him so much, we can pay nothing, because he has already gone from this world to fill that place which the Creator had reserved for him. We can pay nothing of this enormous debt. The best that we can do is to keep him fresh in our memories and profit by the strength of his character. So, to George Frank Hooper, our classmate, friend and companion, and to that spirit of right and justice which impelled him to the colors, this page of the 1919 Boomer is tenderly, affectionately dedicated. He is at the top of the list of Our Liberty Boys and his memory will always be part of our Alma Mater.

They were situated in the east wing of the old building which was destroyed by fire in 1909. They were under the leadership of Mr. Bert Langley, Superintendent, and Miss Garnett Kendall, Teacher. They were about forty in number and were of the average intelligence. By the end of the year a great number had quit school on account of an epidemic of scarlet fever and smallpox. The next year, the fall of 1908, this class, reenforced by more members, took up the work under the leadership of Miss Samuels. All went wrell this year and the youngsters lost some of their childish ways. By saving that all went well I do not mean to say that no corporal punishment was administered, for the author can well remember a certain piece of black hose in the hands of Mr. Langley. The next year the crowd was divided by the erection of the North Ward building, but the main bunch was under the guidance of Miss Beard, teacher, and Harry 0. Buzzaird, the new superintendent. In the spring the building burned down and the bunch was forced to finish in the old High School building which stood just west of the main building. The succeeding year we w'ere put in an old feed store on Main street and part were later moved into the Werline building, which is the present office of the News-Bulletin. Not much was accomplished this year because of the lack of equipment and room, but all looked forward to the opening of the new $65,000.00 building which now houses us. In this building we took up the duties of school under Mr. Erdman as superintendent and Miss Elder of Fargo as teacher. The following year Mr. Wakefield came to us, and it is to him that we owe the real success of our class. Under Miss Bay-singer we made great progress and in the fall of 1913 the departmental form of teaching was adopted and the fairer members of our class were put in rooms by themselves. One year more and we were ready for High School. Thus we became members of the organization from which wre are graduating this year. A green bunch we were, but we had the numbers and the determination to win, and win we did. We beat the class of '18 in a debate and furnished men to both the foot ball and basket ball teams. One Freshman won a first prize in track. This year with Mr. Halley was spent with profit to us all, and when Mr. Crosswhite came we were in better shape. It wras this year that Frank Hooper, the one member of our class who gave his life for his country, came to our ranks. The following fall Mr. Crosswhite was called to the colors and Mr. John Deininger took his place. This year the Class of ’19 came to its own in everything. They had their share in all the High School activities and in the spring proved beyond a doubt that they could stand together by stealing the Seniors’ caps and gowns. As a result the whole class was expelled. This year 1919 finds us still on deck with things coming our way and with a new superintendent, Mr. Tyler, and principal, Mr. Warren. We have worked and studied hard during these twelve years, but now that we are nearly finished we are glad and only pray for power to complete this year and four years of college. Our numbers are not those who started twelve years ago, and indeed we are not the same bunch. Only three of the original class are with us this year, Ada Sparks, Solon Burkett and Murray Holcomb. However, we are now one; we stand together for the same ideals that every graduating class has stood for, and that is to make our Alma Mater as proud of us as w'e are of our Alma Mater. M. A.

Is it the selfish love of things that belong to one’s country? No. It is that call of those departed heroes who have died defending the flag. It is the spirit ot ’76, of ’61 and of ’17, rising up and pointing to the glorious past, and commanding us to sacrifice our homes, our kindred and our lives upon the altar of liberty. It is the voice of the Creator as He urges you and me to live and die in the light of justice and of right. Patriotism concurs with the rights ol all and coincides with the law and is the product of civil law. It was born of our love ot toil and sheltered by our respect for our fellow men. It was strengthened by the principles of equality and brotherhood upon which the institutions of our country are founded. It is sustained by the knowledge that the people are the supreme rulers of themselves. It is broad enough to be shared by all and allows the immigrant to come, to settle, and to make our flag the symbol of his emancipation from slavery and from tyranny. Students of Woodward High School, there are the things before you which mean all to you. They are your Country and your Flag. You see your Country shrouded in civic liberty, in righteousness, and in military glory and splendor. You see the Flag, that beautiful emblem of the present and past, and looking back you realize that it is no mere cloth of varied colors. You have visions of Bunker Hill and of Y'orktown, of Gettysburg and of Manilla and Chauteau Thierry. You realize that you are one of the few of earth who are permitted to enjoy the advantages won at these times. Should the occasion ever arise when it will again be necessary to bear arms in defence of the country, it is to be hoped that none will slack what is obviously his duty in the eyes of God and of men. Keep alive that spirit that has always enabled us to win over any foe. See to it that no blood that has already been spilled in its defence has been spilled in vain. If in your lifetime there arises no opportunity to bear arms in defence of your country, do not think that there is no opportunity to serve that country. See to it that no institution shall overshadow justice and equity or the will of the people. Students of Woodward High School, now is the time to prepare to serve your country and to perform the duties which will surely confront you as citizens. The lessons which you learn well and true will be of inestimable value to the country in time. Observe the law, be honest, stand for your rights, observe the rights of others and never let the visions of our glorious past grow dim in your sight. The Class which graduates this year wishes you all success in the service of your Country. We have tried to uphold these principles and we believe that we have not failed. If we have not, we trust that those who follow us will profit by our example and help to hold America up to the view of the World as a perfect Nation. M. A. H„ ’19. 36 VICTORY BOOMER. 1919 Class Prophesy Last night, as I sat at my window. Looking up at the moon and the sky, I wondered, ‘'Where will our Class be When twenty years have passed by?” When suddenly, striding a moonbeam. A queer elf came to me And said, “I know what you’re wishing The Class of May ’19, to see. ' If you want to know what they 11 be doing When twenty years have passed. Just close your eyes and you’ll see them Each one from first to last.” I started in surprise at this elfin For I thought, It’s too good to be true,” But I closed my eyes and what I saw I’m going to tell to you. Sam Stone led the procession He cordially shook my hand. His brains and worthy ambition Made him president of the land. Horatio was the next I spoke to. He is teaching the Master’s word. To think ol that boy as a preacher It really seems quite absurd. Ada was among the procession I’ve been singing abroad,” she said Velma here plays my music. Of musicians she’s at the head. After them Heischel came grinning. You know he never looked cross, I asked him what work he was doing. He said, None, I’m a political boss.' Chauncey passed next as a rancher, Francis in a general’s suit, Avervt was dressed as a farmer. He owns fields and orchards of fruit. Angela now plays in London, Della’s a Poetess of fame, Gladys and Golda left long ago, And now both have changed their names. After them, Gladys Healey went by me. She owns a large millinery store; VICTORY BOOMER. 1919 37 LaRue. her head trimmer, was with her. They’re making money galore. Haggard and worn was Ruth Fenn The next who greeted me. She’s head of a fine school in China, She’s a missionary, you see. Herbert Dillon made a large fortune Perfecting the flying machine. Joseph owns a large dairy Where they sell butter and cream. Next was the honorable Bessie Who had labored without a day’s loss To uphold the rights of women. Now she’s a suffrage ’’boss.” Mettie’s a stylish dressmaker, Gila’s a journalist great. Rose Mott has been happily married, Lois Hughes met the same fate. Next, living up to his title. Athletic coach Hobble passed me; Delores and Vivian as teachers Each having an A. B.” degree. Now Charles and Paul passed as sailors; Their voyages equal Magellan’s. Vernon was clothed in broadcloth and diamonds. The proceeds of seedless watermelons. The line was nearing completion But a number hadn’t yet passed; Murray’s a famous electrician, Lilbern a professor at last. Harry owns a large bank, Lee is a lawyer of lame, Lael has charge of an orphans’s home. You know that was always her aim. The last in the line was Solon, Who had taken the place of John D. That was all so 1 turned to the elfin To ask what my fate would be. But the mischieveous elf had departed, I know not when he left me. What, you think I was dreaming? Wait till 194-0 and see.

We think of the time when a bunch of scared green Freshmen, about one hundred in all, came stumbling up the stairs into the House of Knowledge. We knew not what to do or where to go. If we walked up the aisle, every eye was upon us. One, Alfred by name, seemed to be ever treading on someone’s feet, thus losing for our class the good fellowship of the upper classmen. The next thing ot importance was a reception given to the Freshmen by their superiors, the upper classmen. Everyone confessed to having had a good time, but we would have felt better if so many of the dignified Seniors had not stared at us so hard. Somewhat later came the day when in assembly one of those said dignified Seniors jumped to his feet and openly jeered the Freshmen for not having returned the reception they had so kindly (?) given us. This started the Freshmen to thinking, and when we start to think something is sure to happen. In fact, the something did happen. Just about Santa Claus time the Fresman President (shaking like a leaf) stood before that vast audience and invited them to a reception to be given the following Friday night. In due time the night arrived, and the Freshies carried off the honors, because everyone went home carrying a gift. A sort of peace offering. Before long the awful year came to a close and we started a happier one. Now we would never suspect that during this period our most intellectual member, Ruth Gober, asked Miss Pelton what kind of plants grow from square roots, or that this was the year that Georgia nearly broke Herschel financially buying candy and gum. But now our class has made a name for itself, for it has gained the good will of all the faculty (?). We have added several new members to our roll. Among them are Alpha Shafer, Audrey Shafer, Joanna Bruix and Flossie Thomas. Audrey still remembers that which she was taught years ago: You shall be seen and not heard.” Howe ould we get along without Allan’s wit and humor (?) No class could be complete without a few ladies’ men, so we have Ralph and Lynn. We have great hopes for Webster, Richard and others to win honors in track this spring. Our library has already been started and the following volumes are now on hand: Vanity Fair,” by Cicila Shellhart; The Earth Trembled,” by Dorothy Miles, and A Little Bit of Heaven,” by Dimple Walker. We are anxiously awaiting other contributions. The Junior Class is proud of all its members on the B. B. Team and of the PEP” leader, Claude Leachman. So here’s to the Black and Red Fairest colors of the land. To be sure they are never dead, And by them we will always stand. D. S. E. N., ’20. VICTORY BOOMER. 1919 47 A Junior Party The teachers and students were greatly surprised and somewhat worried when on the afternoon of April first not a Junior was to be seen in the halls or class rooms of W.ooodward High School. What could have become of them? Where could they be? Could it be that they had won such a reputation for intelligence that the class had been kidnapped to aid the government to solve some of the perplexing problems which confront the world? Be that as it may, they were gone, and nothing was seen of them the remainder of the school hours. Although the Juniors are a very studious bunch, like the greatest of men, they like a day off from the regular routine. April Fool day happened to be the proper time for the change. That morning they got together and decided that a short vacation and a picnic lunch would harm none. Therefore they resolved to indulge in the pleasure of stolen sweets, by being absent. Had their fellow High School students had a very keen observation that afternoon, they might have seen the Juniors, with well filled paper bags, all hurrying toward a certain house southeast of the school building. There they gathered and indulged in the nervous happiness of a little child playing hookey. They dared not loiter for fear that Mr. Warren might discover them, so they scrambled into their conveyances, which ranged from a jitney to a truck, and started for the Greer Ranch, southwest of town. There they found some nice shade trees and after resting a short time they discovered a high hill which they must all climb, and they did so. Had it not been for the forethought of some of the boys the party might have returned to town a hungry bunch, because some strange looking mortals in the vicinity had their eyes on the eats. The eats were therefore guarded. After partaking of a good and bountiful lunch the Juniors came back to town. Everyone had had a good time. The next morning the Juniors appeared at the school house with an anxious and worried expression clouding their intellects, for they knew well that a punishment followed a misdemeanor. This feeling was intensified when in chapel Mr. Warren requested that all Juniors see him after school. They feared that tnis meant a forced vacation, but when he met the somewhat humbled Juniors he informed them that they were to remain after school until they had made up the lost time. Very obediently they filed into the study hall and joyfully began to study. But they were so overjoyed over the leniency of the punishment that the books were flung aside and the depressing quietness of the study hall was broken by the melodious sounds of the Juniors’ yells and songs. This program was followed for two evenings, but on the third day the humbled Juniors presented Mr. Warren with a large and delicious Cherry Pie as a token of their sincere repentance. The Juniors made the promise that never again would they play hookey on the First of April, 1919. The appearance of the pie so overjoyed Mr. Warren that he expressed his thanks by pardoning the misbehavior and cancelling the afternoon session. To the Sophomores: Next year the punishment may be heavier. Beware. A word to the wise is sufficient. Ruth Gober, ’20. WHO U r F Uoi fltsiD kis Nome, is pat mumps- nej' c. Li tfV1 -' N.

H. S. to assume the sonorous yet serious duties of the Freshmen. We counted ourselves and found that we numbered about one hundred green-hued Freshmen. After the first couple of weeks w7e settled down to take life easy, but lo and behold we were awakened suddenly by our beautiful grades. Grades which would wake the dead. We began to sit uj) and take notice and our grades came up to the passing mark. We finally became accustomed to this high life and began to follow in the footsteps of our ances-torial classmates, so well in fact that at the end of the nine months most of the green had worn off and our hairs had turned gray with much hard studying. Nearly half of the bunch had hatched into full fledged Sophomores. Again on Monday. September 16. 1918, we entered the halls the second time, with credentials of mightv Sophomores. Now we look at the poor, little Freshies and consider ourselves to be It . We were laid out for seven w’eeks by terrible Flu but returned better than ever. Now towards the end of the year we are doing our best to put the school over the top in everything and to pass into the places which we feel sure the Juniors will vacate.

Elhel Miller giggles and is asked to leave the room. 10:50 Ethel is getting her books together with as little noise as possible and having a last w'ord with Lydia Greer. 10:52 Ethel has left the room after knocking over a chair, while over in the corner Ben is asking Dopha for a date to the Basket ball game. 10:57 Goff is at the board trying to bluff Miss Shelton for a grade. Keith Brown is flirting with Nora Bell Byrd, and Marvel Harris has gone to sleep, snoring terribly. Everybody is laughing about nothing. 10:60 Marvel wakes up and yawns, much to the amusement of Ben, who laughs very quietly. Ruby and Oakley are asked to leave tbe room on account of too violent flirting. 11:05 Oakley and Ruby are leaving, which is the sign for a general discussion that is stopped by the Espionage Act. 11:10 The first bell rings, and everybody closes his book and moves his chair around, which makes much confusion, in which Anna May Sharp takes part. 11:12 Ormond and Felix are having a chalk duel with Ben and Keith. This is a quiet affair and detracts nothing from the class. Ben gets tired of dueling and yanks Dopha’s chair from under her. And great is the downfall thereof. 11:15 The last bell rings and every one jumps, runs, stamping, whistling and doing everything else in the superlative degree, so as to not disturb the grade kidlets. All leave the room but Dopha, who is still picking herself up from the floor, after learning a number of things about—well, anything but Geometry.

And to our common sense. And to the ones that helped us That we got over the first fence. There’s not a doubt that Caesar Was a good old-fashioned guy. But he surely wasn’t a Sophomore In our dear Woodward High. So let’s get down to business And be both proud and glad That we have some advantages That Caesar never had. Although we can’t be Caesars That need not make us sore; Remember Woodrow Wilson Was once a Sophomore. And if by any chance we reach The Presidential chair We’ll make our chief, Supt.

Hats and coats were flung off and preparations for the picture begun. The Photographer had expected them, so, taking an extra grasp on his patience, he proceeded to step around the caps, coats and so forth which strewed the studio. The girls in the meantime had discovered a mirror and, not one willing to wait, they all crowded around it. For gracious sakes, can’t some one wait a minute?” cried Marianna, getting a punch in the eye from a sharp elbow. ”Oh, Gee! What is the matter, Bailey?” chorused several of the girls. Oh, nothing at all: just stuck myself with a pin.” Miss Jones, do you want to monopolize the mirror?” asked Velma as she pushed herself in front of the young lady. Bessie, fix my hair. It all flops down in one eye and looks horrid,” cried another. Who has a hair pin? My kingdom for a hair pin!” rang out. Here operations were interrupted by the voice of the Photographer: Young folks, hurry all you can. The next bunch will soon be here.” I’m ready.” Hush, Maud,”.................. The boys had been standing ready for twenty minutes, already wishing the whole deal was finished. ............................................................... They were in the operating room. Won’t someone please straighten my tie?” I know I look a fright.” This conversation was very interesting, but the Photographer was a business man and remonstrated: Young folks, won’t you please arrange yourselves for the picture?” I won’t sit on the front row, if I am the littlest,” pouted Marcella. I won’t either,” chorused others. Please stand as I arrange you,” came the words from the Photographer, and please look this way,” he pleaded.” Now, all ready” ! . . . . Ker-ch-oo! !” Bee Brain, very red in the face, sneezed. Marie jumped nervously and all burst into laughter. Patiently the Photograper waited. Just then a tramping and a scrambling announced the arrival of the next group. Cora giggled. All became quiet. The boys were in the back row and the girls in front and the picture was taken which made The Boomer famous. Mary Quisenberry, ’22. T uO£ 5 Jc Z p Nc JflCKJ W hose' rhe. 3 ■ r i?

Most of the men were inexperienced, as there were only two regulars and a few scrubs left over from last year. Nevertheless, fed on raw beef and gunpowder, mixed with a strong solution of Captain Joe’s pep, and a desire to put the W. H. S. over the top in Foot Ball, caused them to develop into one of the scrappiest teams ever seen on the gridiron of W. H. S. The inter-class game which took place in the early part of the season proved that W. H. S. could scare up twenty men for Foot Ball. The season was greatly affected by the Flu and no games could be contracted for with any High Schools. But by the endeavors of Manager Dillon and the desire of the men for a game, a game was secured with Alva, who outweighed the Boomers greatly. The game was called shortly after three o’clock on Thanksgiving Day and was begun by Woodward kicking off to Alva, who advanced a short distance. The first touchdown was made by Hedrick, who caught a forward pass in an open field. The next touchdown was made by Woodward, who plunged directly through the line of Alva. At the end of the first half Mason was put out on account of injuries and Kysar substituted. No more touchdowns were made during the game, but the Boomers held them down and the game closed with a score of 12-0 in favor of Woodward. Some features of the game were: Claude Leachman’s fight through the entire game, the team work of Enlow and R. Leachman, Pat Dillon’s tackling and the general good work of the whole team. The lineup was: R. E., Hobble R. T„ Dillon R. G., Rutledge R. H., R. Leachman F. B., Mason-Kysar C., C. Leachman L. E., Hedrick L. T., Kysar L. G., Gustavinson L. H., Enlow Q. B., Hopkins C.

Track Team The above group of boys will be recognized as the ones who represented Woodward in the Kansas-Oklahoma Track Meet this year. The Meet w’as one of the closest ever held in Woodward, f ive schools were entered. Woodward led with forty points; Gnymon, thirty-nine points; Cherokee, twenty-five points; Marshall, eleven points; and Alva, 9 points. McLarty, of Guymon, was all-round man with sixteen points. The following is the record of the Woodward boys: Hussel 1 Enlow, eight points; Chauncey Mason, six points; Don Duncan, five points; Richard Hughes, five points; Webster Sharp, five points; Meile Bird, three points; Jesse Steele, two points; Clyde Nibarger, one point.

It is true that they lost the greater percentage of the games played, but the opposing team did not have an easy game on any occasion. There was a good show for a promising team the first night of practice for the boys had enough men out for four teams and the girls had enough for two teams. The first duty of the squads was to elect managers of the teams. Of the boys eBaby” Hobble was chosen manager and of the girls Cecelia Bouquot got the place. Both have proved their ability as competent managers. Before the first real game the teams elected captains for the season. Jesse Steele was awarded the place by the boys and Ella Mason was unanimously chosen among the girls, and neither has disappointed those who elected them. Our first game was played with Gage on our own floor and the boys sent the visitors home with the little end of the score, which greatly encouraged our team and showed the school that ffpep” was necessary to win anything. Then followed a number of games in the Kansas-Oklahoma league, the most of which we lost. The teams and the boosters ot the school can, however, be proud of their record when they take into consideration the fact that many of our old B. B. rivals were in this league. These were Cherokee, Attica, Kiowa and Alva. As few of our stars graduate this year we have all assurance of a successful season next year. Max Hobble and Herschel Street are the only ones who will not be back next year. Of the girls’ team Della Watkins and Mabel McCaslin will not return. Although we hate the loss of these players we are assured that there are others who can competently fill their places and we are looking forward to the championship of N. W. Oklahoma next year. Here’s to our teams of 1920 Mav their season have glorv a plenty. J C J t J 7 Mav they deem it their dutv, j j j 7 As we know they must. To keep our old banner out of the dust.

How did we get it? First, we are a peppy bunch to start out with and second, we have the keenest bunch of Yell leaders that ever led a school in song and in yell. What would we have done without them? Nothing. First on the roll is Angela Abbott, the little big girl. She has a smile that makes a fellow want to sing but when she rolls off the Rouser, The Black and Gold” and I’ve got a Sneaky Feeling,” on the old piano a fellow just has to sing or--- bust.” All the music Tubby can't play isn’t worth the playing. We feel that our meetings would have been failures without her. Next there is Helen Meloy, our midget. Helen is always full of pep and is enjoying herself most when teaching the school some new song that she has written. She knows all the songs and can write a new one as easy as she can talk. She puts all the spirit and soul which she has into that spirit that has enabled Woodward to win on many hardly contested fields. We are glad that she will be back next year to help the old school win. Claude Leachman is a real Master of Yells. He knows the yells and songs and makes use of his knowledge. Fifteen rahs, let’er go,” who wouldn’t be aroused by those words as the leader runs to the front of the room? When there is need of pep Claude is there. At a game he is the first there and the last to leave. He makes his presence count for ten men and that is something when the men are from Woodward. When he plays, he plays with the pep that he puts into others. He wins the cheers that he has taught to the students. He has done all that one man could do to draw the pep from the students. We have bright visions of the coming year because this pep demon has one more year to lead the Boomers to victory by yell and song. Bee Brain, the leader elected from the Freshman class, seems to be a bit bashful and has spent all of his timp in teaching the Freshmen to yell. However, we honor him as one of the pep leaders of Woodward High School. Rouser Woodward, Woodward, hats off to thee. To our colors true we will be, Firm and strong, united are we. Rah! Rah!

The last, Herbert Dillon, took no active part in the work of the season. They w'ere coached by Mr. Pope of the Commercial Club. In a three-day’s trip to Gearv they inflicted a crushing defeat of that team on their home floor by a vote of 3-0. The Question was: “Resolved, That all of the cities of the United States of over 5.000 population should adopt the City Manager Plan of Municipal Government.” This was the state question and the boys defended the affirmative. All the other schools in the district forfeited to Woodward and the team was allowed to go to Norman. At Norman they drew for places and sides. In two debates with Idabell and Henryetta they defended the negative and came out with flying colors. In the third debate with Shawnee they defended the affirmative and lost bv a vote of 2-1. This gave J CD them second place in the state among the schools of class A.

There was an unusually large crowd and everyone manifested much enthusiasm, but all looked forward to a successful year in view of the fact that all the old men were back except one. Debate had been brought to the front the year before and now ranked well up with Foot Ball and the other major sports. The Faculty were all interested, as was shown by their presence at this first meeting. Surely there was a bright outlook for the Debate and everyone expected a Woodward Team to go to Norman. The Flu5' broke up the meetings for six or seven weeks but we all came back still determined to win honors for the school. A motion was made and carried to have the tryout for the State Team and the County Teams on the third of January. The question as stated by the Oklahoma Debate League was: Resolved, that all cities of the United States of over 5,000 population should adopt the City Manager Plan of Municipal Government.” In due time the tryout was held. Murray Holcomb, Arthur VanDeusen and Horatio Vosburgh were the State Team, with Herbert Dillon as alternative. The County Teams were: Paul Leonhard, Newman Groves, Velma Curb. Mary Peebles, May VanDeusen and Averyt Gober. The teams were coached by Prof. Tyler and set to work to prepare for the oncoming contests. The record of their debates will be found elsewhere. Meanwhile, the second election of officers took place and the following were elected: Arthur VanDeusen, President; Lemuel Fenn, Vice-President; Ethel Miller, Secretary; Averyt Gober, Treasurer; and Charles Rutledge, Sergeant-at-Arms. The rest of the debate season was taken up with weekly debates in the club. M. A. H., ’19.

Well, Murray, I’m Senior President and Boss of the Senior Play and Manager of the Foot Ball Team and on the Debate Team and I’ve started to practice for track and a dozen other things, so I don’t hardly see how I can manage it. Of course I’d like to. Say, when are we going to have our pictures taken for the Boomer Staff?” Worsham: Can’t we cut down on something else and put in just one more page of snaps? I’ll bring them tomorrow.” Murray: We have cut as much as possible. You don’t seem to understand that we’re nearly bankrupt right now.” Paul: Suppose we adjourn.” Murray: We might as well. We have accomplished more at this meeting than any other meeting for a long time.” Mad rush for the door. M. A. H., T9. VICTOR'! BOOMER. 1919 87 The Northwest Wind The student body was greatly pleased and somewhat surprised, one crisp January morning, when the Juniors annonnced that a very breezy gale, namely 'The Northwest Wind,” was scheduled to arrive on January ninth. Usually a northwest wind is a thing to be dreaded rather than looked forward to, but this one is a cherished treasure in the heart of every W. H S. student. It is somewhat different from the ordinary northwestern gale, as it chances to be the annual paper which is published by the Junior Class. It is devoted to the school activities and expresses the gay as well as the more serious side of lite. Although published by the Junior Class, it is by no means exclusively a Junior paper. The Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshmen Classes unite in an effort to make it a larger and better paper than any the school has previously published. The Northwest Wind” published by the class of ’20 was a great success, as many pronounced it the best paper which the school has published thus far. It contained many original poems, both humorous and sincere, also jokes on students and teachers. A beautiful tribute was paid to the boys in service and a memoriam to the boys who so nobly sacrified their all for the great cause. Although the students submitted much material for the production, the responsibility of selecting that which was best, or that which best represented our school, was due to the splendid judgment of the staff and its able adviser, Miss Hayden. Although the work had been delayed until tbe middle of November, tbe paper was ready for sale January ninth. This proves that the staff was one of abilitv and industrious workers, as the Northwest Wind” was a credit to the W. H. S. 88 VICTORY BOOMER, 1919 Clippings From The Northwest Wind Our Paper In the latter part of 1914, the Class of ’16 put out a paper which they called the Northwest Wind. Each year the Junior Class publishes this paper. Now in 1918 our turn has come to put out the Northwest Wind. We have tried to make a greater success than has been made before, which is a rather hard thing to do. The Class of ’19 put out a splendid paper but we have tried to make ours one step better, and we believe that we have succeeded. The war, the government regulations concerning paper and the necessity of money for war purposes has made our work hard, considering that we are new at this and have practically everything to learn for ourselves. We know that we have made mistakes, but these were unavoidable, and we ask that you overlook them. Our work has been crowded into six weeks, which made it difficult to avoid every little mistake, but we believe that this fifth edition of the Northwest Wind will do credit to the Junior Class and the others who were a help to us in publishing our annual. Our Thanks to Miss Hayden We wish to express our thanks to Miss Hayden for the help which she has given us in publishing this paper, and we take this opportunity of doing so. In a large measure this paper has been made possible by her efforts. When it was material that we needed, she helped to get it; and when it was advice that we needed she had plenty of it in cold storage for any emergency which might arise. Taking it all in, this paper could not be what it is if it had not been for Miss Hayden. N.

The assemblage was favored with two numbers from the Alumni Sextette. Ice cream and wafers were served. After a rousing pep meeting the company disbanded. Freshmen Reception The younger members of W. H. S., better known as the Freshmen, showed their real spirit when they entertained the upper classmen on November 13th, at their return reception. For entertainment each member was presented with so many beans and on asking some one a question and receiving yes” or no” for an answer gave a bean in payment, the aim being to get as many beans as possible. When this had progressed the four fairest members of the party were auctioned off to the highest bidder for beans. The four gentlemen buying the ladies each formed a colony which tried to outdo the rest in songs and yells. Each guest found his or her partner by their card which, when properly matched, formed a turkey. Delicious refreshments were served and every one reported having had a most enjoyable time. Senior-Junior Reception On Thursday, February 13th, the Seniors proved their hospitality by giving their annual reception at the High School building for the Juniors and Faculty. As each guest entered the room he was presented with a tally card which determined at which place he was to play. Every table was furnished with a different game, a tew of which wex-e Rook, Valentines and Puzzles. Prizes of candy were given for the best original valentine and withall a very delightful and interesting time was afforded. Delicious punch and wafers were served during the evening and the party was adjourned by the Faculty giving nine rahs for the Seniors.

Practically, without coaching, these men went into this Meet and tied with Tulsa for first honors in the State. The beautiful shield which they have won, will always be a source of pride to the student of Woodward High School. Truly, we should be proud of these men and support them in all possible ways. The following is a table of the individual work: Russell Enlow: First, 220 yard dash; second, 100 yard dash; third, in the 440 yard dash; and third on relay team. Webster Sharp: First, pole vault. Richard Hughes: Third, mile run, and third on relay team. Don Duncan: Third on relay team. Jesse Steele: Third on relay team. VICTORY BOOMER. 1919 V Presbyterian Church Corner Eighth and Oklahoma L.

Perhaps there are a few pupils who have different opinions, hut we think that the majority will hold about the same principles, a few ot which we will endeavor to call to your attention. If you should walk into assembly and hear us sing Rouser” you would think that pep” is the main feature of the school, but this is only one ot our many interests. We have a student body that can enjoy class work as well as a foot ball game. This shows that we have a high standard and strive to maintain it. Our Faculty is peppy” and loyal too. Since our teachers have degrees from the different Universities, our school is placed on the basis of the best schools in the state. For this and the cooperation of the student body we were placed on the list of the North Central Association. While we belong to this association we are permitted to enter any college west of the University of Chicago without examination. Our school has established courses that will really help us in our future work. The same spirit of loyalty is manifested in all of our school activities. We have a State Debating Team which has won honors. We won 100 percent of the 1918 Foot Ball games. We have such enthusiasm over Basket Ball as is seldom perceptible in a High School. In Track we won second in the state and intend to beat this before long. The Northwest Wind, the Junior | aper, is one of the best little publications of any high school.

The burning question is, WHAT CAN YOU DO? Can you render SPECIAL SERVICE, or just service of the general kind? A good salary, with opportunities for larger things, are for those who have selected a definite and positive course for their life’s work, and have prepared to do supremely well that thing. The man or woman with only a general preparation will soon be outdistanced by the man or woman who has specialized—-who has prepared to do one thing and to do that well. Almost every man or woman who is holding an important position in business today, attained that position through the business-college-way. They mastered a practical course in a business college and procured their first position as a result of that training. They specialized in business; they made preparation the same as the Lawyer, the Doctor, and the Dentist. BUSINESS THE BIG FIELD You say you want to engage in a line of work that offers you an opportuity for accomplishment. Then you will engage in business. There are more men and women who are capable of making a success in business than in any other activity; then, besides, there is no line of activity that does not involve business principles— -therefore your business college training is a requisite if you would be superbly prepared. ENID BUSINESS COLLEGE Enid Business College courses qualify you to enter upon a business position, to conduct your own business, to be a business-like farmer, to work your way through college or to be a professional man. The technical side of bookkeeping, shorthand, stenography, and typewriting are incidental to the greatest ingredients of success-— initiative, positive action, determination, self-confidence, larger vision, a greater aspiration—-these elements are given preferment in our training.
