S., wish to express their appreciation for the work and time given by the members of the Board of Education to help make our high school the pleasant place it is for us to prepare to take our places in the world’s work. What’s this we see that stands so grand Amid the trees in dress, Where we’ve completed worthy tasks And pleasure none the less? A beautiful place We’ve loved as a home; ’Tis the home of W. H. S. Here’s where we find just what we want And when we want it, see? With dear Miss Woodward’s willing help. We could not happier be. Where friends meet friends And pals meet pals— Cur City Library. And this is where the seniors meet The graduates one and all For the last, the best day of the year, The Class Day’s urgent call, The cheering smile, The sad farewell— Our town’s Convention Hall. l r y} -' 71 ' a. Black and Gold Come and join in song together; Shout with might and main. Our beloved Woodward High School, Sound her praise again. Here’s to the Black and Gold, the banner of the' finest high school in Northwestern Oklahoma. The Black and Gold has been carried to fame by many boys and girls who are now engaged in many forms of pleasant and profitable work. It is interesting to note that some of those who have carried the Black and Gold may be found in the Philippine Islands, New York, Chicago, Paris, and there is one who hns gone.to India to bring the light of education to all with whom she comes in contact. The Black and Gold has ever inspired us, who are yet in high school, to stand for the principles of honesty, courage, truthfulness and good sportsmanship. We have the example before us of many graduates who have entered with enthusiasm into their chosen work, after they have finished school. Indeed, many have risen to no small fame. As each class .graduates from W. H. S. they hope to carry with them all of the principles for which the Black and Gold has stood: Honor to the Black and Gold Banner that we love. It will lead us in the conflict And our triumph prove. GRACE HAYES History A. B.

Mr. Pettyjohn: Don’t ask Petty for an excuse unless he has had three rolls for breakfast. Mr. Pemberton: Don’t you dare chew Juicy Fruit in Mike’s class, or you’ll find yourself in study hall after school. Miss Walker: If you want to be Miss Walker’s friend, don’t argue with her .all the time—debate. Miss Bloominger: If you want a part in a play, have your English lesson and “Say it with flowers.” Miss Wilkinson: To iget on the basketball team, don’t talk much. Miss Wil- kinson likes things quiet. Mr. Kennedy: To be Mr. Kennedy’s friend, “Hit the nail on the head.” Miss Von Hagen: If you want Miss Von Hagen to like you, use your reasoning power and “See stars.” Mrs. Rose: Mrs. Rose is sympathetic. To gain her friendship, enroll as a freshman and carry lots of books around. Miss Hayes: Miss Hayes is peaceful but to get along with her, talk “War.” Miss Moyer: Learn to speak in terms of algebra and Miss Moyer will always help you out. Mr. Homberger: If you have to give Mr. Homberger an excuse, don’t use the one “I didn’t have time.” It .absolutely will not work. Mrs. Kysar: Go straight to the point, make stitches that count, and Mrs. Kysar is your friend. Miss Rice: Tell Miss Rice her blarney stones are delicious and she will eat off your hand. v- B- G- ’25 Thus We Part As the school year 1924-1925 closes and the duties and responsibilities of school work are one by one disposed of, the students of W. H. S. look forward to the coming vacation with hearty anticipation and oar hearts are filled with happiness but for one thought: “Petty” will not be with us next year. “Petty,” who has been with us for five long years; who has guided us through all the trials and temptations of school existance with ever a fair and noble decision; who has made W. H. S. what it is in athletics, in popularity, and in scholastic attainment; who will always be remembered by the students and well-wishers of W. H. S. as a true sport and a good leader. “Petty,” we can never expect to return by act or deed the things which we feel we owe you; we can never give back to you what you have so unselfishly given to us. But this we can do: We can strive to be better students, better citizens, better men and women from the things you have taught us. And, “Petty,” remember that wherever you may go, whatever do, the students and faculty of dear old W. H. S. are behind you, loving your memory and wishing you luck. Some years ago a calm, pleasant little woman walked into the English department of our high school and took possession. Since that time she has been a foster mother to the whole high school. She has been to us a friend, a teacher .and a companion. She has mothered many broods of freshmen and they have become better upper-classmen because of her. But the freshmen of 192 6 will never know the loving care that we others have received, because Mrs. Rose is going away from our high school. The old school will not be the same without you, Mrs. Rose, and while you and the doctor are enjoying many happy years to come, do not forget your boys and girls of W. H. S. When the students of the commercial department learned that Mr. Pemberton would not be here next year, great was the wail of anguish and despair. The click of the typewriters failed to resound with the usual merriment and good will and the bells did not ring with the old time happy-go-lucky air. For two years he has labored in the commercial room. His students get their credits because he is interested in them. Mr. Pemberton, we appreciate your good work in football, basketball and the other activities of our high school. When school opened last fall, the students were made acquainted with a new teacher. The calmness and sedateness with which she viewed life would bring shame upon any follower of haste and agitation. School commenced, work began in earnest, and with the passing of weeks and days Miss Walker had won the love and admiration of all W. H. S. She has (always been willing to help and ready to encourage us. It is with real sorrow that we learn she will not be here next year. We shall miss your smile, Miss Walker. Your good work and willing help we shall have to do without, but we shall never forget you and we make the wish that happiness and success shall follow you always. We must also say goodbye to a teacher who has been with us for three years. Wherever is found happiness, joy and jollity, one is sure to find Miss Von Hagen in the midst. She is the kind of a person who knows a little bit about everything and a whole lot about a few things. She loves her work and therefore her students love her. Miss Von Hagen, as you leave us and make new friends, do not forget the boys and girls in W. H. S. A new-comer to Boomerland this fall was a charming young teacher whose nan e was Ruth Moyer. Our first impression of her was that she could never be cross. First impressions are generally lasting and she was not an exception to the rule. Her winning smile and entertaining personality won her a host of admirers. Keep on smiling. Miss Moyer, and there will always be a little bit of sunshine in the small corner of the world which you occupy. Last, but not the least important, we come to Miss Rice, instructor in the domestic science department, and a teacher who has given all that she could for W. H. S. She has been an older sister to the -girls of the school; the boys have found her a good sport. She has kept the whole school in a good humor by her feeds and banquets. Next year another will fill your position, Miss Rice, but no other can take your place in W. H. S. In conclusion, teachers, to all of you we say: “We need you in study, we need you in play; Teachers, dear teachers, don't go away.” AM Senior Glass Tom Lyng---------------------------------------------President Henry Pope--------------------------------------Vice-President Edna Bassett--------------------------------------- Secretary Mary Elizabeth Rutledge______________________________Treasurer Pauline Feese, Nathaniel White_________________Student Council Wyman VanDeusen-----------------------------------Yell Leader Mrs. Kysar, Miss Rice, Miss Wilkinson________________Sponsors Colors---------------------------------------Green and White Motto--------------------------Up the Rugged Hills We Climb Class Yell: Woodward Rah!

It’s delightful to start roaming At the early dawn of day— Climb, until the stars are peeping And the shadows steal away. One day while I was roaming Through the woods and up the hills, My journey seemed so endless, And I kept on, climbing still. Some of the paths that led to hilltops Were so rough and hard to find. But while saarshing out the dim trail. This is what came to my mind: Seniors, yes, you have been climbing, You have reached the twelfth hilltop, Hills We Climb But all the world around is saying This is not the place to stop. When you reach your destination And look out so far and wide You may sse the world before you And look back with joy and pride. You will see so many valleys, Fields of service awaiting you, In this world of high ambition There is something you must do. Now that you are on a hilltop. Can’t you see, ’way over there; See that hill, so high and rugged? There’s a path that’s plain and bare. For this path is broad and beaten; Many feet have climed its way. Up the rugged hills then, Seniors, WTorking, planning, day by day. V. B. G. ’25 History of Senior Class Four years ago, early on that fall morning of September 8, 1921, over one hundred enthusiastic, adventure-s;eking freshmen entered the halls of W. H. S. Of course they were not very wise—no one expected that quality—but their fine high ' school spirit soon made the upper-classman realize that the class of ’25 was going to do its part. Football season passed successfully, with the loyal support of the freshmen. Basketball and track closed with a due amount of honor falling to the freshies. Two freshman boys won letters. In every high school activity this class had its part, so the first year ended gloriously for the freshmen and they eagerly looked forward to the coming fall and the next step in the ladder. Of course, they swept out into the sophomore year more smoothly, because each had his place to fill in the school program. Two belonged to the “W” club, others were “Peppers” and many places on the football and basketball teams were dependent on the sophomores, which they capably filled. When juniors, new responsibilities came; high school was half over and they must measure equal to the role of future seniors. Accepting these responsibilities, the juniors plunged into what proved to be a wonderful year for them. One by one they enlarged both boys’ and girls’ “W” clubs. Months passed swiftly and the senior class graduated and ushered the class of ’25 into its last year of high school. As leaders of W. H. S., they are its loyal supporters in every phase of school activity. Over half of the football team was composed of seniors. They also gained honors in basketball and distinction in track. In fine arts the seniors had their place among the first. But the year in ending only too quickly for the class of ’25, as it does for every outgoing class. As the term draws swiftly to a close they realize themselves as victors over many games of high school activity and they realize, also, that these games have bean fitting them for the one most important game—the game called Life.

In nineteen twenty-two, And entered here as freshies To see what we could do. We waded through the tiresome Math. And through the English, too, And passed as struggling sophomores, Though we were feeling blue. But now that we are juniors grand, You watch and see us climb; Why, we’ll be where the seniors are In just “no time.” We’re loyal ever to our school, And to our dear class, too, We get behind our classmates all, In everything they do. And now, another little year And we, too, on shall go, And that our records will be good, We hope, and think we know. We’ve toiled always faithfully; We think we’ve earned our name, And sponsors kind have aided us To win and keep our fame. csOcA: A oC. c_ % BETHEL KEMPF VEVA BRUBAKER HENRY BOWMAN RICHARD DUDLEY PAULINE ROGERS MYRTLE MAULSBY MARION SMITH KENNETH BERG VIOLET MOAD LOIS BOUQUOT _ § foXol UXJIL LEAH ROGERS ROBERTA CARTER NOLAND PEARSON ROLLIE HAAS VERA MAE WELCH ETHEL ADAMS RAYMOND MITCHELL PAUL PEARSON LEON DINES FLORENCE MARIE NICHOLL GLADYS CHENOWETH GENEVA HASTINGS DOROTHY BAKER FAYE SHELEY SIBYL BLACK VIRGINIA STUART BEULAH NORTH.

They put their beauty queen over second an’ gave a dandy reception ter their “uppers.” An’ they chose a motto, “Labor wins everything,” an’ it shure must of because they jest took an’ exam which they passed and were freshies no more. Then they was sophs an’ you orter heard them make fun o’ the freshies. Thev had picnics an’ they had parties. The boys went out for feetball an’ the igirls played basketball an’ had a purty good team, too, so’d the boys but they jest didn’t win that there cup. What they wanted a cup fer I can’t calculate. Dick ag’in went out to run aroun’ an’ what do you think, he got to go ter Chicago. (I always did want ter go there an’ will maybe, if my literary ability will help me.) They put their beauty queen inter the race an’ she got third. Oh yes, they did lots of things, but I jest got ter tell ye about when they was juniors. Now they’re juniors an’ they ’lected Dick Dudley as president. (What they need another president fer when Cal Coolidge is, I jest can’t see.) They come out big an’ strong in feetball. John Herring was capt’in o’ -the team (Gran’ I’ll say) an’ Jean, Arthur an’ Bill shure smashed thru that ’ere line. Babe an’ Dutch shure played basketball, so’d Faye ’til she got sick but she got a letter nohow. An’ now Dick’s a runnin’ hisself ter death aroun’ that there ring, humph! Guess he’ll go ter Chicago, again. They put on a junior play which everyone sed was fine, an’ also a nigger minstrel, an’ say, why them there juniors would o’ made a nigger ashamed o’ hisself; sing an’ jig an’ cakewalk ’n everything. Made a whole lot o’ money which they’re goin’ ter use ter put Caroline Huntzinger, their beauty queen, plum’ over the top. They’re enterin’ the social life, too, by igivin’ the seniors a banquet, which is shure gonna be a grand affair. And this ain’t neer all what they’re goin’ to do. Jest watch ’em next year! y g � 26 Junior Glass Play “THE GOLD BUG” By WALTER BEN HARE Convention Hall, Friday, December 12 a -4------ CHARACTERS William Legrand, the Butterfly________________________________________Richard Dudley Jupiter, the butler___________________________________________________Henry Bowman Barry Linton, the friend----------------------------------------------Raymond Irwin Eugene Kipp, the Carolinian_________________________________________Kenneth McGibbon Noll Phelan, the mystery------------------------------------------------Kenneth Berg Mr. Job Merrimac, Esq., the Bostonian-------------------------------------Nobes Nicholl College Boys________________________________________________________Everett Cay- wood, Jean Cooper, Rollie Haas, Raymond Mitchell, Olan Munson, Marion Smith Kate Horne, the stenographer____________________________________________Ethel Adams Dollie Slattery, the romantic-------------------------------------------Sibyl Black Old Hagar, the vagrant_______________________________________________Virginia Stuart Isaac Milligan, the grafter-------------------------------------------Gilbert Meloy Jo Cherry, the .girl______________________________________________Caroline Huntzinger Mrs. Horne, the mother________________________________________________Veva Brubaker Mrs. Farrington-Foster, the aristocrat------------------------------------Eva Moore Beulah Farrington-Foster, the debutante-----------------------------Geneva Hastings SYNOPSIS Act I.

Characters: The Freshman Class. Time: May 15, 1924. Place: Woodward High School. Jack: “Well, we’ll soon be freshies no more.” Earl: “Say, I’m kinda’ sorry, but I’ll bet we were a green bunch.” Dorothy: “Yes, but remember that green things always grow and flourish, and I guess we’ve flourished this year.” Eva: “Of course; look at our sponsors, Rose, Bloominger and Hardy; they were so interested in us.” Veva: “Even tho’ none of our boys made football letters, they are ready for next year and they helped make our team this year.” Maude: “Our beauty queen, Doro- thy, went across second. I think that is great.” Evelyn: “Just look at the basket- ball teams. The freshman boys won the inter-class contest, and Jack Lively and Earl Baker made first team.” John: “I think we’ve done fine but we’ll do better next year.” Jay: “I move we adjourn.” Marcella: “I second the motion.” (All rush for the door.) ACT II Scene I. Characters: Sophomore Class. Time: September 8, 1924. Jack: “Please come to order now. We have our officers already elected, as you know. Hugh Rawdon, vice-president; Ruby Dugger, secretary; Attie Lou Gamble, treasurer; John Leonard and Pauline Gillenwaters, student council.” Herbert: “Let’s choose our spon- sors. I nominate Mr. Pemberton.” Ruby: “Miss Walker and Mr. Pem-bertpn are chosen ias our sponsors.” (Bell rings. All leave meeting.) Scene II. Time: May 20, 1925. Place: Woodward High School. Hugh: “We’re through another year of our high school.” Evelyn: “Yes, but think of the things we have done. The sophs and seniors won the inter-class football game.” Marcella: “Don’t forget that Char- ley Owings, Dean Alexander, Clarence Garrett, Fred Hudson and Jack Lively won letters.” Dorothy: “Yes, and Charley is next year’s football captain. Aren’t we proud% of him?” Ruby: “Well, look at basketball; we won both inter-class games and this makes the second year for the boys.” Margurite: “Dorothy and Evelyn won letters this year, and Ruby Dittrich got a numeral.” Pauline: “Ruby Dugger, Attie Lou Gamble, Blanche Harris, Marcella Robinson and Irene Scovell are in the Honor Society. I think that means a lot.” Kenneth: “Well, even if Dorothy didn’t win the beauty contest, this year, it’s not because she wasn’t pretty.” Jay: “I should say not!” Blanche: “Say, we are about to forget that Charley’s on the track team. You know, in practice, he is right near the state record in several events, so we will surely get something in track.” Garnet: “I think we will leave a mark behind us in W. H. S.” Mud: “So do I.

B. STEWART HAZEL McCOLLUM W ALIENE NIBARGER IZORA NIBARGER ROSA GORRELL, GLADYS HOWLAND HAROLD WELLS JUANITA MORRIS MARGUERITE KIRKPATRICK, JOE POPE t History of Freshman Ciass Early in September, about one hundred fourteen queer looking, little, greenish individuals made way up the steps to Woodward High School, which was for the first time beckoning to the young. They went into the grand auditorium, there to sit in awe and wonder—not knowing how to begin to plan their classes. With the reassuring tone of Mr. Pettyjohn’s welcome speech and his advice concerning our courses, we became a little more at ease and some of the green faded. Finally all the programs were finished and we departed to wait until we could start for sure. Then came the first day and a group of freshmen, a spectacle to all eyes. A breathless hunt for class rooms. The ring of the period bell. Our high school life had begun. It was not long until our shyness left us. Friendship sprang up between the classes. Soon the “Baby Class’’ realized that they were a part of W. H. S. How glad we were! We were full of class spirit. Athletics claimed our support—football, basketball and track were treats to us. Some of the freshman youngsters were represented on the teams. Then the Freshman Reception, in the form of a wiener roast, was one never to be forgotten. M. E. B. ’28 Freshman Class Poem Some folks leave school for money, And some leave school for fame, Some seek skies always sunny, And some depart in shame. I care not what the reason, That men travel east and west, Or what the month or season— The freshman class is best! The freshman class is the glad class, Where something real abides; ’Tis not the money-mad class, That all its spirit hides. Though strangers scoff and flout it, And ever jeer its name, It has a charm about it No other class can claim! The freshman’s sky seems bluer Than a sky faded and far away, The freshman’s friends seem truer And kinder through the day; And whether glum or cheery, Light-hearted or depressed, Or all tired out and weary, I like the freshmen best! Let him who will, go wander To some other class to live; Of some things I am fonder Than all they have to igive. The gold of distant places Could not repay me quite, For those familiar faces That keep the freshmen bright! Our Beauty Queens The primary purpose of having a beauty contest is to raise funds to finance the publishing of the high school annual. It must be admitted that this is not a very good method of selecting the prettiest girl in the school as it is strictly a matter of class rivalry. The votes are sold and the voter naturally votes for the queen of his class and not necessarily for the one whom he honestly judges to be the best looking. But this method does prove how the classes rank in regard to high school spirit and enthusiasm. The juniors, of the Class of ’2 6, and the freshmen, of the Class of ’28, especially, are to be congratulated on their splendid showing in this contest. JOHN HERRING—Right Guard—Captain—Junior—Weight 165 The first .game of the season was played with Mooreland, at Mooreland, September 27, and the Boomers were defeated 20 to 0. Our team had had only two weeks practice at this time but Mooreland must be given credit for having had a nice bunch of players. ROBERT PIERSON—Right Half—Senior—Weight 140 On October 3, Waynoka played here. We won this .game by a score of 13 to 0. This was our first Conference game. Waynoka held Cherokee down to 6 points. The Boomers played Lacy, winners of the Skeltur Conference, on October 10, and we were held scoreless, while Lacy managed to get 20 points. MARVIN (MIKE) PEMBERTON—Coach To “Mike” goes a great deal of the credit for making the team what it was. At every practice he was with the boys, trying to make a presentable team out of a bunch of green material. In this he was successful, for when the Boomers defeated Alva and made creditable showing against other teams with high Conference standing, they more than made up for the games that were lost. RAY HAAS—Center—Senior—Weight 140 Vici played the Boomers, on our home .gridiron, October 17. We scored two touchdowns and kicked one goal to our opponents' one touchdown, which they got on a blocked punt. This made the score 13 to 6. JEAN COOPER—Fullback—Junior—Weight 160 The second Conference game was with Fairview, the winners of the Conference, at Fairview, October 24. This was one of the best games of the season, regardless of the fact that our opponents won with a 13 to 0 score. JOHN STARK—Left End—Senior—Weight 155 We played Cherokee, at Cherokee, October 30, and were decisively defeated with the score of 26 to 6. HENRY POPE—Center—Senior—Weight 155 The Wood ward-Alva game on November 7 was by far the best game of the season. Our boys went to Alva with a determination to win and knowing that W ood-ward Hi was boosting them to the limit, they defeated their opponents by holding them scoreless and making a touchdown and kicking goal. Woodward never made a substitution during the entire game. J foXoUStjm CHARLES OWINGS—Fullback—Captain Elect—Soph.—Weight 170 On Armistice Day, November 11, we played Seiling on our own gridiron. Our goal was never in danger and the Boomers pushed the ball over for six touchdowns and kicked three goals, giving them 39 points. LEROY WEGNER—Left Tackle—Senior—Weight 170 Our boys went to Kiowa on November 14 and were defeated there 14 to 0. This was the most disagreeable game of the season, being played in mud and rain. TOM KENNEDY—Assistant Coach Kennedy did his share toward making the football team. Nearly every afternoon he would put on his outfit and scrimmage with the boys. And he caused much misery, too, for when he hit the line someone hit the ground, not any too gently. He was liked by every man on the team, even though he did give them some awful shakeups. Jet played Woodward, at Woodward, Friday, November 21, and had it not been for a freak play—Jet intercepting a pass and running nfty-five yards for a touchdown—the score, from iJl appearances, would have at least been tied. The Boomers were beaten 19 to 6. MILLS RAY—Quarterback—Senior—Weight 140 The final game of the season was played with Carmen, on our own gridiron. Carmen won with a 21 to 7 score. The Boomers scored the second touchdown scored against Carmen during the season, the other being made by Fairview, who recovered a blocked punt and ran eighty-two yards to Carmen’s goal. DEAN ALEXANDER—Left Half—Sophomore—Weight 160 The season could not have been said to have been a really successful one, although fourth place in the Conference is rightfully claimed by the Woodward team. If all of the games had been lost except the one with Alva, the season would still have not been in vain. ARTHUR MITCHELL—Left Guard—Junior—Weight 180 The other members of the team, who have no picture in the Boomer, are: Wilbur Miller, right tackle, senior, weight 163; Clifford Miller, left guard, freshman, weight 180; John Johns, right end, senior, weight 160. BILL JONES—Left Half—Junior—Weight 160 Tillman Burkett was elected by the team to be next year’s manager. To The Team Here’s to the Woodward football team, That keeps its standards high, For in any old place, on any gridiron, It can’t be said that they didn’t try. Just to look at the second team, One would think them a bunch of hicks, All dressed up in second-hand clothes, But just wait until twenty-six. Honor, they say, must be won, But the best, of course, must come first; So don’t ever think for a moment That our second team could not be worse. All over this great world of ours Many work just for a name; So, to get anywhere in our short life, One must work to acquire honor and fame. There has been a problem worrying me, But now I have settled my mind As to why we lost most of the games, this year; It was just hard luck, every time. V.

TOM KENNEDY, Boys’ Coach This was Tom’s first year as basketball coach but he handled the position well and did his best to make a winning team. Every night he was on the court coaching the plays and correcting the mistakes. On account of the unexpected departure of one of the forwards, together with the illness of two or three of the men, the team did not have a very good season but with most of the men and Coach Kennedy back next year a much better team is expected. PAULINE WILKINSON, Girls’ Coach This was Miss Wilkinson’s first year as coach and teacher in W. H. S. but her pleasant disposition, “dreamy” eyes and irresistible smile made her the friend of both the boys and the girls. She did her best to make a real girls’ team and certainly succeeded in doing it. MAURICE WALKER, Girls’ Coach Cj ■ - Ao Although “Mauldy” is not one of the faculty or on the school board’s payroll, he takes a great deal of interest in all of Woodward High’s athletic activities and especially basketball. With Miss Wilkinson, he coached the girls and developed a fine bunch of players. 2 ' — 'U Cl JL L' A- . 'v S . ' ,t Cr JL Slj r 'Mh'c J2 liA-JKs , si iia Jo ilM OLA SMITH—Forward—Junior—Manager-Elect “Dutch” was speedy and accurate. A stellar player and to be relied upon any time, any place. All-tournament forward at Mutual and Alva meets. Captain of Alva Tournament team. MARY MASON—Center—Senior “Speck” was, without a doubt, the best center ever in Woodward High. A valuable asstit to the team. All-tournament player in Mutual, District and Sharon meets. LOIS BOUQUOT—Forward—Junior—Captain-Elect “Babe” was a “natural born” forward. She loved the -game and could always be depended upon. All-tournament forward at Alva, District and Sharon meets. All-Northwestern forward. DOROTHY ROBERTS—Second Center—Sophomore “Dot,” although small, was fast and always fighting. With two years left in W. H. S. she should prove to be a wonderful player. GLADYS SESSLER—Second Center—Senior—Manager “Happy” played every position on the team. Had experience and a thorough knowledge of the game. Another big loss to next year’s team. FAY SHELEY—Guard—Junior Known to the team as “Shakespeare,” her long reach remindful of “Longfellow,” but to opposing forwards she turned out to be the “Dickens. FERNE SCOVEL—Guard—Senior—Captain “Fernus” was one of the best guards in Northwest Oklahoma. Always reliable and steady. All-tournament guard in District, Sharon and Mutual meets. Captain of district team. EVELYN ROBERTSON—Guard—Sophomore Evelyn’s first year on the team. Won herself a name In the last two games of the season. urn JESSE HUDSON—Guard-Senior Steady, cool and always reliable. EDWARD ANDERSON—Forward—Junior—Captain-Elect � . Game just in time to fill the vacancy left by Creel. Looks like an all-Conference forward next year. JACK LIVELY—Guard—Junior All-Conference guard. Jack will be with us next year. MARION SMITH—Center—Junior Not much for looks in a suit, but when it comes to playing “You’d be surprised.’’ CLARENCE GARRETT—Forward—Sophomore “Kiddish” at times but played a good game of basketball when he tried. BILL MOORE—Guard—Senior Little but loud. Many a forward misjudged him. They all took a second look. FRED HUDSON—Forward—Sophomore Played a consistent game the whole season. Always in a good humor. The Games The first games of the season for Woodward basketball teams were Conference games with Okeene, at Okeene, January 9. In a hard-fought battle, which resembled a football game, the Boomer girls won 14-0. The boys did not fare as well, losing to their opponents by :a 16 to 10 score. On January 16 Cherokee’s teams came here for Conference games. Both the boys’ and girls’ games were close but Cherokee managed to “scratch out’’ on both of them. The Woodward girls lost by 19-18 and the boys by 2 3-19. The next games were Conference games with Fairview, at Woodward, January 23. The Boomer girls won this game 22-14. Even with this score it seemed to be the -girls’ off night, for they did not play well. The boys with the loss of Creal, a forward, did not do as well as the girls, losing to their opponents by a score of 16-11. Our teams went to Gage for their next matches. Tne girls’ game turned out to be a “picnic” for Woodward. They defeated Gage 50-7. The Boomer boys could not manage the fast Gage players and were defeated 27-12. On February 6 Alva’s teams played Woodward, on our own court. The first half of both games were close and interesting but during the remainder of the games Alva’s boys and girls made steady gains in points which our teams could not keep up with. The girls’ game at the end of the first half was 14-13 in favor of Woodward. The final score was 33-22. The Boomer boys lost 38-15. The last Conference games were with Carmen, at Carmen, February 20. The Boomer girls won a decisive victory over their opponents with a score of 32-12. The Woodward boys also won their game with a 31-22 score. Mutual Invitation Tournament The Boomer girls entered the Mutual Tournament and won it by defeating Vici 37-16, Moor eland 22-21 and Fargo 53-28. Alva Invitation Meet At the invitation meet at Alva, Helena forfeited to the Woodward girls and Capron was easily defeated 49-5. On account of injuries, “Dutch” could not play-in the semi-finals with Alva and we were defeated 33-25. “Babe” starred in this game, making 19 of the 25 points. District Meet The Woodward girls went to Fargo for the District meet. They played Supply first, defeating them 31-17. In the finals they played Fargo. Unfortunately Mary Mason was put out on fouls, for the first time during the entire season, and “Dutch” was not yet well from her injuries and not able to do much goal shooting, so we lost the game, 20-17. Sharon Invitation Tournament Both the boys’ and girls’ teams were entered at the Sharon meet. The girls won the cup but the boys failed to place. Panhandle Invitation Meet A Panhandle invitation meet was held at Woodward, with all of the schools of Northwestern Oklahoma invited. Many teams, both boys’ and girls , were entered and a good crowd was in attendance. Neither of the Woodward teams competed. The Gage boys won over Sharon in the finals and the Seilin.g girls won over Goltry. W. H. S. Track Team First Row: Charles Owings, Dean Alexander, O. A.

A bronze plaque, won last year by Northeast High, Kansas City, a bronze running figure and four gold medals are the trophies of this trip. Dick Dudley, Rolla and Ray Haas and Ed Anderson comprised the winning team. On account of the illness of the track captain, Richard Dudley, the team was not able to go to the state meet this year but we are confident that if they had not had this misfortune the Woodward boys would have won the meet. MISS RUTH WALKER, Coach WYMAN VANDEUSEN PAUL PEARSON. HAZEL WATKINS XtbuL XL ljd I V The Debate Season The aims of the debate work of the season were to give the debators a broad knowledge of 11 phases of the debate question, and skill in using that knowledge to make a consistent case which would be hard to attack and necessitate no sidestepping. Trickery of any kind, which by some might be considered skill, was discouraged, while skill in building a consistent case was stressed. Three debates were scheduled for the season. The Beaver-Woodward debate schedule was unavoidably cancelled. Woodward met the other two, Mooreland and Vici. These two debates just placed the team on the alert and in shape for an interesting season. Seven tried out for the first team. All those who placed on second team showed a splendid spirit in contributing ideas and material for work of the first team. Noland Pearson deserves especial mention for, while he did not take part in any debate, he was prepared to substitute if he should be needed. Wyman VanDeusen, Hazel Watkins snd Paul Pearson composed the team. Of this trio, two were seniors who had had some former experience in debate; the third a junior, from whom we expect much next year. Wyman’s strong point is in delivery. It seems to come without much work. He works hard, however, in gathering material and constructing a speech. Hazel has a natural aptitude for constructing a logical speech. She has made much improvement in delivery and has worked for it. Paul is a steady worker and never says “quit.” The seriousness and convincingness with which he makes his points is the strongest feature of his debating. 1 W. H. S. Honor Society Woodward High School and other high schools in the state, felt that we should have an organization in which the students of high scholastic standing should receive recognition by means of some emblem. This would give them a distinction such as members of football, basketball and debate teams receive. The school men of the state, through the educational department, made a study of the different systems and recommended to high schools the present honor system. This system provides that an organization composed of ten percent of the students enrolled shall be formulated into an Honor Society. This ten percent shall be selected from the different classes according to their ranking and according To the regulations provided by the state. The following were selected for this year: Upper Row: Ruby Dugger, Carl Telford, Edward Wiggins, George Boswell, Herschel Patterson, Kenneth Berg, Jean Cooper. Second Row: Hazel Watkins, Bertha Lehman, Margaret Dugger, Irene Scovel, Attie Lou Gamble, lone Dockerty, Marcella Robinson, Blanche Harris. Third Row: Geneva Littrell, Rebecca White, Juanita Morris, Dorothy Baker. Sibyl Black, Virginia Stuart, Alice Coover, Lela McGriff. Lower Rovr: Bethel Kempf, Marie Hedrick, Ruth Greer, Lillian Jackson. Pearl Marrison, Mary Berg, Grace Mullenax. A SOCIAL CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 8. The agony begins and, though it seems quite impossible, we are all in our places with bright and shining faces. Page Oklahoma representative. New teachers think law should be made which would not allow speeches to be made by teachers. We don’t; we find them quite thrilling. 9. More classes changed. Petty goes around muttering “Forty-eight in English; six in Art.” Not football signals; just the number of victims in each class. 12. Agony continues, this time in the form of seat assignments. So many blissful couples separated by a mere alphabet. 27. Mooreland gets a little rough with our poor, dear football boys and musses them up a bit.. Score 20-0 in favor of Mooreland—but it could have been worse. 30. Heavens! New teachers (.and old ones, too) are already thinking about these nightmares called tests. It’s really cruel, especially to the freshmen. OCTOBER 2. Circus day; the most important one so far. Even got out of school to go— a quite unheard-of thing—and they had eleven elephants. 3. Waynoka plays Woodward. Better luck this time, with everyone behind the team. 13-3 in favor of Woodward. 7. Inter-class debate appears on the horizon. It looks like a hot time, too. Gold medals, maybe, and all the other thinks that make a fellow want to go. 8. Rev. Fite gives us a talk which was greatly enjoyed. 14. Dr. Tuller, of Buffalo, N. Y., gives an extremely interesting talk. If all speakers were like him we wouldn’t mind having them often. 15. The Methodist conference folks are giving us some fine talks. This time two of Petty’s classmates gave short talks and gave away some of Petty’s bright activities in college. 18. Woodward’s football team plays Vici. The score is 13-6 with the long end toward us. 20. The best address that has been given in the last three years in Woodward High School is given by Mr. Dunning today. Every person in Woodward High who was not stirred by the fine talk is just a little unappreciative. 23. Dr. Poole, of Kingfisher, made a fine address. 2 4. Dr. Antrim, of Oklahoma City College, gives an address which was most interesting as he told iabout, the studious (?) pupils who hav.s graduated from Woodward High. In the afternoon. Bishop McConnell spoke—an address no pupil or teacher will ever forget. This was an eventful day. Woodward plays Fairview at Fairview and lost, 13-0. 29. Woodward plays Cherokee and loses, 26-6. Sad, but truth is stranger than fiction. NOVEMBER 4. Election at school and in nation, too. School goes Democratic. 7. Woodward plays Alva. What do we care now if we did lose a few games? Score 7-0, in favor of us, of course. JStfSXoVXJXJZL 11. Everybody tears loose; it’s Armistice Day and the football game comes out 38-0 in favor of us. But what could you expect? 13. The teachers all go back to school for a few days, so we don’t have any. 14. Woodward plays Kiowa. Score 14-0 in favor of Kiowa. Better look to your laurels, boys. 19. Mayor Renfrew talks in assembly, inspiring all who heard him. 21. Jet wins over us, 19-6, Woodward scoring only touchdown made against Jet this year. 26. Thanksgiving, and we .get out to eat the traditional turkey. 27. Carmen wins final game over Woodward, 21-7. Better luck next year, we hope. Our optimism is all gone. DECEMBER 1. John Herring, orator and football player, gets on the mythical Northwestern star team. 3. Inter-class basketball begins and the sophomores and seniors come out victorious. 8.

The fatal word, it seems, for the boys and girls both lose to Alva. 11. Honor Society formed and thirty-one lucky ones are happy. 13-14. Panhandle basketball tournament.

Class Day and the seniors will all their habits, books, grades, hard luck and other mementoes of high school to their dear classmates. 22. Commencement. Now, maybe some of the juniors will be sorry they treated us so mean. (We don’t mean as a class.) 23. It’s all over and the last day of school is the very last for the seniors. V mm Freshman Picnic Woodward, Oklahoma, April 1, 1925 Dear Meryl: Since you seem to think so much of your darling Wichita High and its marvelous .activities, I have decided that it is my duty to tell you about the reception the upper classmen gave the freshmen the first of the year. There is a very pretty place about two miles out from here that is used very much for picnics. It is called “King’s,” and that is where we went. Of course we took eats. You know we don’t eat, as a rule, down here (Oh, no!) but just so it would be a picnic or weiner roast we took weiners, buns and marshmallows and, also, pickles. After the happy children had played around a while we ate our grub, Mr. Kennedy eating us out of house and home, and then the best part came. We all sat around the campfire and sang songs. I don’t suppose you poor unfortunates ever did that but you might try it for a change—it’s piles of fun. And then we went home (it was compulsory and not that we wanted to.) I’m going to write you again in the near future and tell you about a real social event, the junior-senior banquet. Your Woodward friend. Beryl. Junior-Senior Banquet Woodward, Oklahoma, April 6, 19 25 Dear Meryl: Here’s the promised letter about the banquet and you can just imagine yourself in my place for a little while, so as to get the effect. You are now all dressed up and are on your way to the basement of the Carnegie Library, where you are to meet your host or hostess, some poor unfortunate junior. After you have found your affinity you wend your way to the basement of the Methodist Church where a beautiful wigwam greets your eyes. Really, I can’t make you appreciate the beauty of that scene. The stairway leading down to the basement was lined with Navajo blankets, fur rugs and everything else pertaining to Indians. The whole thing was in circle effect and in the center was a fire. The place cards were clever little tepees with our names on them, prefixd with “Warrior” for the seniors, “Young Bra e” for the juniors, and “Chief” for the faculty. The menus were in the form of moccasins with clever Indian designs on the front and inside were printed the menu in the Indian language and the program in English. By the way, that program was carried out in a very clever way. Two little girls danced an Indian dance, a junior girl sang an Indian song and another one gave a beautiful Indian reading. The toasts all carried out the same idea, warriors, braves and chiefs taking an active part in it. The last thing was a peace pipe by the officers of the class, a very fitting finale for the whole thing, ,and then we all sang our high school songs and, believe me, it was some banquet. In haste, Beryl. JSjSXotfgUVzl w High School Play “MARY’S MILLIONS” By FREDRIC G.

A Word From the Staff The staff herein expresses its thanks to the members of the Class of ’25 for the trust reposed in us by selecting us to have charge of the task of shaping this year’s annual, and we sincerely hope that they may not regret their choice. We have presented the activities of the past year in W. H. S. to the best of our ability and we pray that our labors have not been in vain. We have found it necessary to reduce the Boomer, this year, to smaller size than it has been for some time, hence we have endeavored to include only that which we considered the most important material, and it is our sincere hope that the reader miay agree with us in our judgment. kSU a .

(7 In looking at the birds and flowers There is springtime everywhere; But when you look at big, dark clouds, Can you catch the sunbeam there? ’Tis hard to see the sunbeam If the cloud is dark and low, But you can see one peeking thro’ If you would have it so. And if this sunbeam you do capture, Bind it not with bars and chains; Pass it on, that it’s bright rapture Some fellow passenger might claim. Oh, listen to this little secret The sunbeam to you tells: “If you would have my joy stay with you Pass it on to someone else.” Hazel Watkins ’25 SIslsislS Qr Si •• L .
