"To stall or not to stall.— That is the question." 50 Senior Day ENIOR DAY! Long may it be remembered! Long may the antics of the class of 16 stand as a model for the classes that follow it. Such costumes! Such bril liant nonsense! Even the teachers were at times surprised by flashes of wit. The costumes were "there." Who could withstand the winsome maid in her checkered apron? No one!—and those fascinating curls! Whe-e-e-e—! The boys came as "hoboes"—that is most of them did. It was a costume affair and they did their best. Ed Lockard didn't come as a hobo. Oh, no! He sought effect by coming dressed a i student. For nine months Ed has lived a flaming lie and for one short day he came as a student. 'Tis the essence of wit! Joe Sterling Morris, the black-face comedian. What a headliner! Truly we must give the devil his due, so here's to you, Joe. Drink it down. Boys did you get "hep" to the Spanish Dancer? Her name is Mildred Grace and her phone number is — but shucks, I ain't going to tell that, because you would worry her to death. We must not forget the Roman, yet what can we say about him ? Hardin Nelson H Bin Hir, Seizeher, or Sissarow was a howling success. He was long on originality but short on attire. Nuf Bed, Assembly was turned over to the Seniors. Resistance, at times is futile. The big stunt on the program was the awarding of a cake to Mr. Fordice, the eminent faculty member. The cake was given to Mr. Fordice as a mark of appreciation of his dexterity in having skilfully evaded all Huffy bits of femininty up to his last birthday. We would also like to add that Mr. Fordice gave in return "some" quinine wrapped in marshmallows. Some one had put him next! The other things on the program were clever. Yes. clever is the word. Padwhisker was immense; so was the dancer. Then there were the elocutionists and the orchestra. But we must close. It is impossible to tell all that happened. Senior day is a happy day and a short one. May the succeeding classes enjoy it as only we have. 61 A Toast to the Class of 1916 Oh. here's a toast to the Seniors Who are leaving us this yearl lh re's to their health and happiness. And the glory of each career. We hare known you long, oh! Seniors; And we're loath to say "Adieu." For much of our high school's glory Was brought to her by you.

The Board of Education must have had some idea of what a remarkable class we would be for they built a fine addition to C. H. S., especially for us, when we entered the "kindergarten." When we came back the next year, we probably played the part of the traditional Freshie. (Even if we didn't, it would not do us any good to say so, because the Seniors would endeavor to inveigle us into a winding argument which is very tiresome.) We organized the latter part of the year, and elected Wayne Cameron president. George Francis was selected to lead us in developing our lungs for the good of the school. By the way. when we arrived at the triangular debate in a body, we yelled with the best of them, and no doubt it was our yelling that wpn the decision for the school. This year, the Faculty leagued together in a conspiracy not to let us organize. Once there was a report that we were at last to be given this high privilege, but it was evident that the Faculty merely thought we were babies and must be given soothing syrup for our wounded feelings, for, when we were all assembled, somehow, the meeting took on the properties of a bubble and blew up. (We now know that the Juniors were behind this, for they feared if we organized, we would throw them entirely in the shade.) Nevertheless, we have distinguished ourselves wonderfully. Wayne Cameron, Dow Hamm, Stockton Porter, and Harold Leroux represent us in the athletic field. On the Scout staff we have Catherine Patterson, Anna O'Shea, and John Gibson. One other thing: Wayne Cameron, either because of his athletic prowess or his blonde hair, has attracted the reluctant ( ?) attentions of a certain popular Senior girl. We mention this last because we consider that it ranks among the other high honors of our class. We must add, to do the Faculty justice, that that honorable body at last permitted us to organize, for the purpose of attending the triangular debate as an organization. At this meeting. Catherine Patterson was elected temporary chairman, and George Francis was appointed yell leader. Committees were selectetl and given charge of the executive part. But now you must say farewell to the Sophomore Class, and prepare yourself to meet the Junior Class of the century, next year.

This class according to the majority of the students, es- ^"^ pecially the Sophomores, has not in any way changed this old conception. Yet we can lay claim to some honor and renown, for not one of us has ever asked a Sopho more if he were a Senior, or a Senior if he were a teacher. (The greatness of this can only be conceived when one realizes how many times we have been sorely tempted.) I her distinction is that we are the last Freshman class of Central High. N'.. other class can surpass us in greatness because there is to be no other class. Thi because the school has adopted the Junior High School plan. Henceforth the student will enter the Senior High as a Sophomore. The greatest honor that has fallen to our class has been through debating. The Forum Club has generously opened its doors to our members and one of these—Freeman Burford—made the triangular team in a walk. Only one other Freshman class has ever boasted of such an honor, and no other one ever can. Now we must close. We have lived our Freshman year, and when we again return hool it will be as Sophomores. We are not sad because we feel that we have ac complished something; yet at times we are not altogether happy for we remember that our Freshman days, which, after all are the best, are over.

The prime object of the Club is to study Industrial Problems, to become acquainted with the business men, and to be boosters for the school and city. Besides meeting at the school, the club has been entertained in the homes of some of its members. Under the auspices of the club a series of four contests was arranged in order to promote speed and accuracy. The names of the winners are given on the opposite page. After an investigation which showed that many of the pupils were working outside the school, the club in co-operation with the Greater Muskogee Association has started an Employment Bureau, which promises to become a permanent feature.

Besides being our all around booster for the club, Mabel carried away the honors in the three day sweepstake speed contest and inciden tally has her name recorded in the trophy case at the High School. While others were speedier at times they fell before her in the grilling grind and Mabel set the record for the first annual contest at 55 words net per minute with an accuracy of 99f'r. Floyd Garland and Nettie Fuller won second and third, re spectively. Charles Walker upheld the reputation of the boys in the Department by winning the contest for Stenographic Efficiency. Here is his record: Dictation 85 words, tran scription 24 words, straight copy 54 words, and familiar copy 131 words per minute. Favoretta Sullivan was second and Mabel Harris took third. The first annual Quick Figuring contest was won by Ada Nye. According to the Curtis standard tests her speed was 60'/i above the normal pupil in work, which was 96.63 Hazel Cory was awarded first place in the contest for Bookkeeping efficiency. Finnis Huber ranked second and Walter Jackson third. Mr. P. B. Kennedy of the Ex change National Bank acted as judge.

Its purpose is three-fold: the study and prac- ^^ tice of parliamentary procedure, the practice of public speaking, and the study of the United States Congressional Current Events. Its primary purpose, however, is the study of parliamentary law. We have not been unduly ambitious in organizing this society, expecting phenom enal parliamentary achievement, but we had hoped that it would have some influence in better qualifying us for the responsibilities of democratic citizenship and if it accomplishes this end, even in the slightest degree, we feel that its organization will not have been in vain.

But alas! that superior feeling proved fatal to the Forum, for when the first inter- society contest was held, the team representing the Demosthenic won the decision of the judges. The club thus came into possession of the inter-society cup. Since its first meeting the club has grown steadily in membership and in the quality of its debating. During the last two years, eight of its members have represented the school in debating. During the last year, six of the twelve men chosen to represent the school came from the followers of Demosthenes. 85 (£ h i r f t a t u Forum Debating Society MEMBERS MARVIN CROOM FREEMAN BURFORD FRED WOOD.-ON HARDIN C.

When I P L the need of debating became apparent, the Forum was organized. Since then she has sent forth a long succession of warriors to battle for the glory of her school. On her books one finds the names of only the most illustrious in the history of the school. Tradition is very dear to the Forum. When school opened, there were but two active members. By careful selection, this was increased to fifteen. No one not interested in debating was admitted through the portals. To insure a long lineage, Freshmen were allowed to enter for the first time. Two debates other than the regular club debates have been held this year. Both were victories for the Forum. The last one was a two to one decision over a club called the Demosthenic. This Demosthenic Club is the same one from which the Forum won the inter-society cup last year. Taken all in all, the Forum has passed an extremely successful year. Out of a membership of fourteen the club placed six of the twelve men on the debating teams. This is a record equalled by no other society in the school. 86 d h r (£ b i r f t a i u . . 1 U 1 fi Public Speaking Club OFFICERS FRED WOODSON President HENRY STOUTZ Secretary MR.

State Debating League NETTLETON LEECH PAYNE STOUT/, The Debates ^•THIS was Muskogee's first year in the Oklahoma State Debating League. Thomas if J, Leech, Tully Nettleton, Henry Stoutz, and Edgar Payne were chosen for the ^"^ team, Stoutz and Payne alternating. The subject debated throughout was: "Resolved, That the Deposits of All Banks Should Be Guaranteed by a Fund Raised by a Government Tax on Banks, Proportional to Deposits." The first debate was with Okmulgee, in which Muskogee upheld the negative. Stoutz, Leech, and Nettleton composed the team and were awarded a unanimous de cision. Three weeks later Muskogee debated on the affirmative against Porum. Payne this time replaced Stoutz and again we won a unanimous decision. In our next contest two weeks after this we met Stigler, who took the negative of the question. With Stoutz again on the team the Muskogee representatives probably delivered their best debate of the season, but the decision was three to nothing in favor of Stigler. Since in these contests the loser of each debate is eliminated from the lists, this defeat closed our season in the State League. All three of the debates were held at home. The results were not all we could wish, but as this is our first time the record is not bad. We expect to win the champion ship next year. 88 Triangular Debating Team BURFORD GIBSON CROOM ASTON AFFIRMATIVE TEAM TRIANGULAR DEBATE—April 28, 1916, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Muskogee.

Neither team had much the advantage in the main speeches, but Muskogee came back much the stronger in rebuttals. The Tulsa team, composed of Pope, Washington, and Fitzgerald, fought to the last, and were the be t losers that were ever in Muskogee.

The winner of the debate is awarded the possession of a cup for one year. In 1914 the Demosthenic Club succeeded in winning the cup but in 1915 it changed hands and is now held by the Forum. In this debate the Forum upholds the affirmative while the Demosthenic are of the opposite opinion. The debate will not be held until the last of May. This is after the book has gone to press. The Forum team was chosen too late to secure a picture of its members. 91 C. H. S. Dramatic Club FTER the annual play given by the Gunaikes Club was over, those who took part decided to form a club that would make a lasting name for itself and at the same time receive both enjoyment and instruction along the line of dramatics. A To this end the C. H. S. Dramatic Club was organized, with the following officers: HENRY STOUTZ President IAVORETTA SULLIVAN President REYBURN FEARNSIDE Vice-President WILLIAM F. CHAPPELL Secretarv LILY MAE DAVIS Treasurer MISS LUCINDA B. NEFF Conch The first play given by the newly organized club was one which had been previously given. The play with the original cast was staged at the Hinton Theater during an amateur contest and easily carried off first prize. In September the club was re-organized with the following officers: HOSHAL DUPUY Vice-President EDITH JOHNSON Secretary NORMA HORTON Treasurer PAUL McMASTER Business Manager REYBURN FEARNSIDE Assistant Business Manager ESTHER BURTIS Wardrobe RUSSELL STEELE Electrician MISS LUCINDA B. NEFF Coach Before Christmas two plays were given, "The Best Man" and the "Teeth of a Gift Horse" with even better success than former plays. The next production of the club was a five-act comedy entitled, "The Modern Merchant of Venice." The play is a farce on Shakespeare's original production. This play was presented before a large and critical audience and was pronounced one of the best amateur plays ever presented in Muskogee. On April 14, of this year the club presented to the patrons and teachers of Central High School a very enjoyable and high-class program, consisting of three one-act plays. All scenery and the electrical apparatus used in these plays were made by members of the club. Although organized less than two years the club has found and developed some real ability among its members. The club is a member of the Educational Drama League of New York. 92 C H I VJ. 11 I I Thalian Club OFFICERS ESTHER BAILEY President MATTIE KELLO Secretary LUCILE WILSON Treasurer MISS BROWN | MISS STEPHENS Coaches MISS DeLAY 1 MEMBER8 JENNIE ANDERSON MARTHA GOSTLING LILLIE REISBERG UDELL BOEN HELEN CINSKURG RUTH SWANSON ELIZABETH BOXNFl.I.

He was Captain of the Alma College (Mich.) football team in his sophomore year. m He was also a member of the track team. Upon leaving college he went to Ferris Institute as coach of football. In 1912 he took the football team of the St. Louis (Mich.) High School and won the state championship. The team was undefeated. In 1913-14 he was supervisor of Physical Training at Danville, Illinois. In 1914-15 he was assistant instructor in physical training and also assistant coach ;'.t the Michigan State Normal. Here he held several elective offices of state-wide importance. The season of 1915-16 has not been all that we could desire, yet we feel that it was one of those unavoidable things—an off year. Besides this we feel that there are three legitimate reasons for the poor showing. They are: (1) The players unwillingness to adhere to the strict training rules laid down by Mr. Von Thurn. (2) The Board of Education has given the coach of the High School too much work to do. Central High's athletics are important enough to have a special coach. If Mr. Von Thurn is to oversee the Physical Training of all the city schools he should have an assistant. (3) The gradual decline in the spirit of athletics. This is perhaps the greatest reason. It does not mean anything to be on an athletic team of today. Mr. Von Thurn is attempt ing to overcome this feeling by making the "M" harder to obtain and by awarding it formally.

Cartwright, Mur- ^"^ chison, Francis, and Captain Neubauer back in harne The first game was with Tahlequah. and re sulted disastrously for Muskogee. The score was 46 to 0. The only excuse we have to offer is that Tahlequah had a team that was not to be denied. Next came the "Waterloo" of the Warner Aggies. Central High out-played the visitors in all departments. Mayes, Cartwright, and the backfield showed up well. In this game Neubauer and Malone were slightly injured. On the 15th of October the mighty aggrega tion from Tahlequah descended on our fair do mains. Coach Von Thurn's warriors played them to a standstill. The final score was 6 to 6. HENRY NEUBA1 ER Captain Only a week before Muskogee had been handed the little end of a 46 to 0 score. The wonderful playing of Lyles and Mayes for Muskogee, and Powell, Choteau, Welch, and Ferguson for the Normals, featured the game. The fourth game was a victory—our last one. It was an 18 to 0 whitewash on Sapulpa. Mayes played a great game. This time Murchison, Creager, and Smith gave more than their usual amount of kind assistance Irvin, Spagogee, and Rymer upheld Sapulpa's honor. The game with Tulsa on the 29th was one of those "if" games. Tulsa was lucky—the teams were evenly matched—but Tulsa got the big break. The final decision was 10 to 7. Mayes played his customary game, and Francis got in the limelight by his offensive and de BYRON McFARLAND fensive work. Cai.tain.Kl.. I 99 FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1915 — Continued On November 5th, Fort Smith made a special trip to Muskogee for the sole purpose of handing us a 14 to 0 wallop. The Fort Smith crew was fast and could play the little ol' game of football. Muskogee made her only score on a field goal by Creager. Mayes played his usual game. The next defeat was by another team of football players—there's no doubt about that. Claremore was fast. Her interference was impregnable. She deserved to win. She did! McFarland and Smith played a good game for Muskogee. We might add that Mayes played his customary game. The final score was 7 to 19. Down in Arkansas there is a town. Its true name is Little Rock, yet for Muskogee it was a very big rock. The score was 40 to 0. All we can say is that we take off our hats to Little Rock when it comes to football. Her team was a bunch of compressed speed with an extra helping of lightning. Besides that, she treated us royally. Thus closes the 1915 football season—a season of defeats. Yet we can look forward with great hopes for a winning team next year. Mr. Von Thurn will have twelve "M" men as a foundation. With these he will be able to turn out one of those old time ihampionship teams. Get together and help him YE WEARERS OF THE "M".

With these gone the outlook was rather dismal. Yet with Neubauer, Smedley, Cameron, and Cap tain Francis of last year's squad back, Coach Von Thurn set out to win the state champion ship. The season, from the standpoint of a coach, was very hard. Cameron was out of the game for the first few weeks through sickness He had barely recovered before Smedley, one of the fastest forwards that ever played on a Central High team, graduated. The third stroke of ill-luck was the forced retirement of Toir because of a weak heart. HAROLD TRAM IS Captain Muskogee was defeated only four times. The first was at Atoka. The second and third were at Fort Smith. Muskogee broke even with these two teams, splitting series with each of them. The fourth defeat handed out to Coach Von Thurn's cagers was by Chelsea. In this game Cameron, a coming sensation, was forced out of the game by a broken wrist. This year Muskogee again upheld her proud record of never having Buffered a defeat on her home court. May she continue to do so! The prospects for next year are wonderful. Cameron, Leroux, Cartwright, and Captain- elect Neubauer will be back. What Coach Von Thurn wont do to the state championship rag HENRY NEUBAUER with these isn't worth telling. tain-Dad 103 Girl's Basketball Team BROWN KWINC IWN) COOK PEDEN McKTNNEY WILLIAMS LEEKLEY CULP VERKIMAN MILNE 104 Baseball T. ^y.

Nelson, Grubbs, ar Cameron, Iliff, and Captain Creager should have been the foundation of a winning team. Another thing of great value was that W. O. Forman, an instructor in the school and a man who knew baseball, having once played on the Washington Americans, consented to coach us. Spring practice was delayed by wet grounds, yet we suffered no more than other teams. The first game was with Pryor, and resulted in a victory for that town. The score was 7 to 4. Muskogee led up to the eighth with a good margin. The team got rather rotten umpiring but not enough to make a difference in the final count. Iliff in this game starred with the •tick, getting three hits out of four times up. The second game was with the Bankers, a fast amateur team of Muskogee. This was also a defeat; the score 5 to 1. It was in this game that the team demonstrated just how rotten it could play. It seemed that the men were incapable of getting off of their feet, were tongue-tied, and ran bases like a night mare. The only ray of hope that was allowed us was the fact that Wade fanned sixteen of the hard hitting Bankers. Strange to say Coach Forman did not give up hope. Instead he got busy and devised a U plan whereby the team might enter the tourna BARON CREAGER Captain ment at Norman for the State Championship. Just before the team left a shakeup occurred. This was because the team as a whole refused to take its practice seriously. The team left for Norman on the 5th. It lasted one game. Its victorious opponent was the well-balanced team from Hollis. The game was a seven inning affair and the final score was 7 to li. As at Pryor, Muskogee was in the lead up to the final inning. In this case it was 6 to 4. Hollis, with one man on second by the grace of an error, slammad out a home run, and then followed it in a few minutes with another. The players, as usual, advanced several reasons for this defeat; but the principal one seems to be that they did not have enough scores. Yet the team can draw some consolation from the fact that Hollis finally won the championship by defeating four teams. There were nine runs scored against her and Muskogee got six of tin Taken all in all, we have a good team, and it has seemed at times that we have un justly received the little end of the breaks.

Lies within thy lovinK arms ^^THE last lines of Tosti's "Beauty's Eyes" floated through the balmy evening air I I V into Emily's ears as Jim came leaping up on the porch and into the sitting room ^*^ without even the formality of ringing the door-bell. However, Emily Lane un derstood Jim Baldwin so well that she merely laid aside her paper and smiled a wel come. "What's troubling you. Em?" (Settling himself in a huge chair.) "Your forehead is tied in a terrible knot. What are you bothering about,—Woman Suffrage and all that 'equal rights' stuff?" "No, Jimps, it's not that right now. I've just decided that Leap Year is a good thing. I believe women have as much right to propose as men." The corners of Jim's mouth twitched—but his eyes looked gravely into hers. He asked seriously. "And what is your reason for such a belief, my dear?" "It's fair, and sensible, and er—eugenic; it really is, Jimps." Jim coughed violently (though in truth he was not subject to colds), but soon re gained his composure and enquired, "Just whom are you thinking of proposing to? Of course you can take your choice." "What a question! Do you think I'd ask someone who didn't care for me? I'll just propose to you. Will yo—" she began, but her face went suddenly pink and she was unable to finish. Jim looked as if he were going to have a mirthful convulsion. But he immediately changed his tactics—assumed a school-girl attitude and—giggled. "Really, Em," he gasped, "this is so sudden. You will have to ask papa." Emily was uncomfortably conscious of his ridicule, but being a girl with a good bit of "pep" she quickly determined to see it through. "Please excuse me until I get my hat." she said, rising in great dignity, "Then we will go speak to your father." When they reached the sidewalk Jim calmly took the inside, making her take his accustomed position. In answer to her questioning look he said: "If you are going in for equality in some things you must be consistent. You have as much right to walk on the outside as 1 have, you know." "O, very well." So she trudged bravely on, though she felt rather unpleasant every time they passed anyone. And Jim didn't give her the slightest assistance in crossing the streets and at one time curtly asked her if she would mind assisting him, as "you have a RIGHT to do." She found herself feeling very glad that they had not very far to go. Of course she couldn't see the twinkle in Jim's eyes and she was fast growing very miserable. Her courage was nearly gone when they reached Jim's home—and she trembled when she faced "papa." All. Baiuwin greeted them very pleasantly, but he scented something extraordinary in the atmosphere. He was thoroughly surprised when Jim gave him a significant wink and fled from the room. After begging Emily to be seated, he said, "Now, little lady, will you tell me what on earth ails that boy?" Emily's courage was rapidly revived by his gracious manner, so she launched into a recital of her "new ideals" and stated her main purpose in calling. Mr. Baldwin was (Continued on Pagw llxi AimrrttBtng THE ADVERTISEMENTS ON THE FOLLOWING CL PAGES ARE OF RELIABLE FIRMS AND DESERVE VOIR PATRONAGE WHEN IN NEED OF AN1 THING IN THEIR RESPECTIVE LINES. IT: ~ :: :zirz~~ zzzzz :::::::: <^ ii t r i i i y i u suddenly seized with a severe sneezing spell—a spell that Emily deemed of unneces sary length. Finally he glanced at her rather sternly and said: "Before we discuss this proposition further, young lady, will you tell me, please, what means you now possess for Supporting a husband, and what your future prosp are? My son has every advantage now and 1 would be most unwilling that he should give up anything. Of course, you. with your modern ideas, can appreciate a fond par ent's feelings on such a subject." "But, Mr. Baldwin, you don't understand." She remonstrated, her eyes growing wide with amazement. "Yes. my dear. 1 understand perfectly: Women are men's equals in everything. They have a perfect right to propose and it follows that they have the same right to support." Two tears gathered in her round eyes. As she glanced around she caught Jim's grinning face as he peeped into the room. "O. Jimps, please take me home. I'm—" "What! Take you home? Why you have an equal right—" "Don't say 'equal rights' to me again—I don't believe in it at all." By this time she was weeping comfortably on his shoulder. Father and son were laughing to gether, quietly. When the sobs ceased. Jim took a tiny square box from his pocket, opened it. and held a beautiful solitaire before Emily's delighted eyes. "1 wonder if this will fit the third finger on your left hand. Em; would you mind trying it? Give me your hand." She obeyed instantly. "There! It fits beautifully, and now will you marry ME'.'" Her eyes glinted mischievously as she mimicked him: "Really, Jimps, this is so sudden. You will have to ask papa." Their merry laughter rang out. Then Jim tucked her hand beneath his arm. and said. "We'll go now and ask 'papa' just as I intended to do when you interrupted me. Good-bye. Dad." Mr. Baldwin's eyes grew misty as he watched them walking very close together down the street. Jim was walking next to the curbing. 118 OLD LINE LEGAL RESERVE COMPANY Writing All Modern Ap proved Forms of Life Insurance Contracts.

IRENCE TORR ROSE GIBSON ORI'IIA ROBERTS LUCILE LE8TER UDELL HOEN JOE MORRIS LUCILE KELLY 1 WUKKITA SULLIVAN Enter Rose: Ten years have passed since last I stood in old C. H. S., but even now it has that old familiar look that once we knew so well; the friends who came here then and the classmates that once strolled through the halls, where are they? Scattered now to the four corners of the earth. What wouldn't I Rive to know what all the class of '16 are doing! Enter Clarence Torr (much engrossed in newspaper), excited: By Jove, to think that this could happen—horrible. Hello, who is this? (Seeing Rose.) Listen, here's SOME writeup about an old classmate of ours. (Reads): "Gen. Marvin Croom narrowly escaped death in Philippine revolution—Captured by band of insurgent cannibals and sentenced to be burned alive—Miraculous escape due to his oratorical ability—Hypno tizes natives and holds them spellbound until troops rescue him—In escaping he sets world's record for the mile run, doing it in four minutes, flat. Rose: And how do you happen to be here? Clarence: Oh. I just ran down from Jonesville in the Ozarks where I am editor of the Jonesville Weekly Journal. It's some paper, too—circulation list of twenty- three complimentary papers. I am going to call on Lucile Lester while in town. Rose: Oh, yes, Lucile Lester. She was the one who bequeathed her name, "Long Distance," to Hattie Lee Chesnutt. You know she has developed into a famous actress of the Theda Bara type. Her leading man is Ed Dunigan. Enter Lucile and Joe: Why, Rose, this is such a surprise! I just heard a rumor from the Biology department, that the body which arrived today from Egypt was yours which you bequeathed to the C. H. S. laboratory. I'm glad it really wasn't. Joe: Well, Rose, did you ever give up your anti-matrimony ideas? Lucile: Yes, she really did. She is now married to a chief in the Fiji Islands. Clarence: WThat became of the other Gibson of our class? Joe: You mean Jim Gibson? Rose: Jim left Muskogee and went to colli ge. He woa nation-wide reputation by a book entitled "How It Feels to Be Married." He is now in the South hashing in a chop house. Poor fellow, we thought he'd turn out better. Lucile: How about his friend Ross Robe? Clarence: Oh, yes, he of the engaging jriggle. Strange to say he lost his popu larity with the fair sex in Muskogee and has retired to his home in Arkansas, where the country lasses are well pleased to have him for he is popular there in spite of his size Joe: Has any one heard about Virginia Ogden? Rose: You remember that she bequeathed the care of one Boyd Lewis to the Junior Class with the request that he be kept away from certain fair ones of the female persuasion. Since then she has studiously avoided all men and has devoted her entire time to study and meditation upon cause and cure of fickleness, particularly that kind indulged in by males. Lucile: That reminds me of her old enemy, Wm. Johnston. Clarence: I heard about William the other day. He has just completed the enormous task of placing a suspension bridge over Coody creek and is now thoroughly imbued with the idea of bridging the gap between this world and the moon. So far he 138 Jor the graduates ATERIALS for the girl's frock for Commencement Week.

Joe: And Geraldine? Rose: You mean Gerry? You remember she left the privilege of monopolizing all the dim nooks in the hallways to Norma Horton. Well, Gerry is now a daring trapeze performer in Ringling Brothers' circus. Has anyone heard from Cessna Poage? Clarence Torr: He went down to Mexico hoping to sell the Greasers a few of his substantial Cessna Autos retailing at !I!U>8. but the bandits stole his beloved liberty. He is reported to have given that thrilling ultimatum, "Give me liberty or give me death!" Lucile: Yes, and he is still one of the famous "17" since he hasn't had time to kiss a girl—much less marry one. Joe: And Hardin Nelson who was another of the famous "17"° Clarence: He tried out. unsuccessfully, with the Boston Red Sox, then turned to politics but was defeated for county treasurer in Stex County, Arkansas. This defeat was due to his reputation gained as editor of the Chieftain. Now does sport writing with an occassional short story for yellow journals. He hopes to write a novel— a la Edgar Allen Poe. Lucile: I'm anxious to know what became of Dorothy Hare. Joe: She was such a hair-brained creature. Rose: She bequeathed her care of the Sophomore Class to Esther Burtis with the request that she look after as many individuals as she herself had done. Lucile: Why, 1 had an engagement to meet Eavoretta here. Rose: Well, here she comes now, and she has several friends with her. Joe: Orpha Roberts! How is the world treating you? Eavoretta: Joe, anyone would know that you had spent your time in some place like South America or you would know. Lucile Kelly: Yes, indeed, Orpha Roberts has just returned from a successful season in a large London Theater. Joe: I read about that just before taking the steamer, but never suspected it was an old classmate. Your critic rated your ability with that of the late Sarah Bernhardt. How did you ever do it? Orpha: I started out teaching school but found that I could not make a living. Charity is never appreciated so 1 resigned and bequeathed my ability to manage child ren to Peggy Patterson. Then I went on the stage. Udell: Well, Joe, someone told me last week that you were in town. Joe: I'm coming back to the U. S. A. sometime to live. Favoretta: W'hen you wrote your thesis on South America we knew you were in terested. But we hated to see you go, even if your concern did ask you to manage their South American branch. Tell us who inherited your love of tennis. Joe: Oh, yes, it was Myron Steele. Rose: But Udell, what did we hear about you? Orpha: I'm going to tell that. You know Udell is quite a club woman. The other day she called on the mayor at the head of a party of women and asked that the traction company give us better service. The papers all gave her a great write-up for her high minded purpose. Clarence: I heard about that. Udell: We just met Lucile Kelley. She has not told us of herself yet. Lucile Kelly: I haven't much to say. I have traveled a good deal. The last place I went was Valpariso, Chile. I was much surprised to meet an old friend there— Delta Paris. Perhaps you remember her. She is learning how to make chili.

Dunlap Brothers MUSKOGEE CLASS PROPHECY — Continued Louise is now the fat lady in Barnum and Bailey's circus and Ruth has put on enough weight to make it safe for her to venture forth on a windy day. She is also with the circus, and is heralded as the greatest living thin woman. Clarence Torr: Has anyone heard of our comedian, Floyd Warterfield ? Lucile L.: Oh, Floyd has gone where it doesn't snow. You know he was such a dear little lamb at school and so religious. He took up Mormonism before he died. Joe: He was married then? Lucile L.: Yes. I should say he was! The paper reported six wives in mourning for him. Being a cattle rustler and a Mormon was too much for him. Poor fellow, they caught him stealing cattle from an adjoining ranch. The sight of the rope killed him before he even saw it. Clarence: His shadow, Dixon, what became of him? Orpha: It is impossible for me to tell you of Dixon without telling you of Bessie Konworthy. The stately halls of this High School seem to have a very romantic atmos phere, especially for Seniors. Bessie and Dick were the quiet kind and preferred to be by themselves. After leaving C. H. S. they completely surprised all of us. Just at the last they hail a fuss over whether Bessie's wedding dress should be white or blue and what color socks Dick should wear. It fixed the whole thing. They are now- happy, though divided. Udell: That reminds me of another sad case. 1 was reading in the paper the other day of Winnie Miller. Lucile K.: Who was she anyway? Udell: Oh, you remember her. She used to wear red striped hose and a green checkered skirt. She was a victim of a love affair that played havoc with her studies. All this was set at naught though for she finally ran off with Pratt Wade. Joe: What of the Robinson sisters? Orpha: They are running a millinery store at Fort Gibson. They reported busi ness fine. Mabel has several new fashions to her credit. Those two are inseparable. Rose: What of the Smiths? Clarence: Charles achieved his greatest ambition when, as captain of the West Point basketball quintet, he was elected to the all-American team. Joe: And Lawrence? Lucile L.: Aye, and Ickabod. to be sure. The poor lad was mistaken for a scare crow in Pauline Clayton's cornfield. He is now teaching the minuet to the countryside near Rex. And he sings fine—like a New Zealand "jack-ass." Clarence: Then there was Helene. She is now lecturing to teachers' conventions to establish the difference between various phases of religion. Favorite: And Nannie is a bare-back rider in a circus. The snake charmer is Margaret Pulliam. Udell: Speaking of charmers what has become of Esther Bailey. Lucile L.: I saw her the other day in Chihauhau. Joe: Did she marry? Lucile: I should say so. She has been married twelve times and ten of her hus bands are living. She swore she would never marry—but she did. You know she was always a booster at school and in her Senior year she was president of the Thalian Club. She started into the movies but didn't have much luck. Then she married Charles Chap lin's double. That poor man "stepped" himself to death. The second landed in the pen. The next, a preacher, died. The rest are living—somewhere. Udell: That reminds me of the REAL old maids. Fay Burch and Marguerite Koch.

Kay is now running an airship through the clouds to the land of her dreams. Marguerite is her mechanician. Clarence: And their friends, Gladys Riehn ? Udell: Oh, yes, the president of the History Club. Someone read a paper at a meet ing that there was an over supply of men in Panama and she decided she wanted to teach there. Orpha: And that reminds me that I saw Pearl McFarland. You remember Pearl Ritchie who finished in the class of 'Hi. She was missed more by the teachers than by any one else. Teachers like odd people. She was a suffragette, too. Favoretta: Speaking of suffragettes, I saw in the paper that Ruby Hall led a suffragette parade down Fifth Avenue the other day. Clarence: She is the girl who used to come to class late with the excuse that she'd been working in the garden. Orpha: But no one has mentioned Pauline Clayton, who used to be interested in the suffrage question. Rose: After bequeathing her giggle and bad deportment to Mary Payne Chapman she settled down and became matron of an orphan asylum. But she had many troubles. Clarence: Yes, but that is past now. Miss Clayton is a social success in Labrador where her tales of her "Deah South" are received with wonder and delight by Eskimo society. Orpha: The other Pauline—Pauline Chappell—is also in a far country, China, and she is doing a great work there as a missionary. She writes most interesting letters from there. You know she was a literary genius in High School. Rose: And there was the society crowd— Lucile K.: Yes, Kathleen Belky. In the paper the other day I ran across this: "Lost, strayed, or stolen—a Peck. Anyone having any information please address Kathleen Belky. Reward and no questions asked." Cruce Warmack is in New York society where his style of dress is copied by the younger set. Clarence: You know Hubert McDonald wavered between society and politics but finally got elected to the Senate where he has just made his maiden speech, taking as his subject a long passage from "Robert's Rules of Order." Lucile: How is Paul McMastor? I saw his picture in front of a local theater the other day advertising a tight rope dancing performance. You know Paul always did like dancing, but I little dreamed he would go as far as to risk breaking his neck trying to dance on a rope. Another favorite of Paul's was Olives. Never failed to fall for them. While in C. H. S. he followed in the footsteps of Forbes Robertson, but left all that talent with Julian Brewer. Orpha: Speaking of actors, or actresses as I should say, recalls one of my fellow workmen. Of course you remember Lillie Mae Davis, a sweet, timid, smiling beauty. She is greatly missed from C. H. S. because you know she did have wonderful ability for entertaining on the stage, and by the way, she bequeathed to Esther Burtis her great dramatic ability. She came to us from Alabama and is now traveling in Europe with the Scapegrace, Scarborough, and Son shows. We who helped her in the be ginning of her stardom never see her any more. Joe: Talking of traveling with shows, there is Jennie Anderson. Orphia: She has certainly done creditable work for a Chicago girl. She is missed more by the Freshmen of C. H. S. than by anyone else, for she seemed to have a very great sympathy for them. Didn't I tell you that she is traveling under the name of Sallie Sue for a large specialty show. Favoretta: No one has mentioned Berniece Bliss. Udell: I know about her. She was the little girl who was so popular during her 144 PIANOS: VICTROLAS RECORDS, SHEET MUSIC and MUSICAL MERCHANDISE If It is Bought at Kroh's Its Good Qua lite is Assured r KROH MUSIC COMPANY ™ 215 NORTH THIRD STREE1 ** 206 West Broadway Sometime, Somewhere Ynii will need a reference.

H. S. We thought she would be a school teacher, but she is teaching dancing in the Birtciel Academy in New York. Rose: I heard from Catherine Bruce the other day— Udell: Yes, Catherine and Edna Ackley wished to be famous in their school days. The years rolled along and at last they became Seniors. Yet they realized it would not be long until the inhabitants of the world would point out their names and be proud of them. You know that Catherine has a second "Hull House" in San Francisco, and Edna one in Boston. Joe: But, Favoretta, what about your old friend, Katherine Osgood? Favoretta: She is a nurse now. Joe: Her High School thesis was on a medical subject, wasn't it? Favoretta: Yes, you remember when the European War broke out a good many years ago, in 1914, wasn't it? She was very anxious to be an army nurse, but her family compelled her to finish school. Lucile: I walked into an employment agency the other day and who do you think was there? Our dear friend, Fred Woodson. Upon inquiring what he was doing there I found he was tired of his own cooking, which he learned with the Boy Scouts, and was looking for a "cook." He had bequeathed his career as a professional entertainer and fondness for girls to Melvin Aston. Lucile: Have you heard of Maggie May Randle lately? I dell: Maggie May Randle and Ed Dunigan in their school days were very much interested in baseball. They got to betting on the games and carried it so far that they agreed the loser should write the shorthand lesson the next day after the game. Maggie Mae always had to get the lessons and she is now putting her knowledge into practice down at Attorney Burckhalter's office. Joe: Do you know I always wondered why James persisted in spending the last six years of his youthful life in C. H. S., but did you know, he has made a great prep aration for the bar ? Lucile: Say. I received the announcement yesterday of the marriage of Dewey Moffet and Ethel Roberts. Its about time I think— Clarence: Yes. it was about time. They were married by Rev. Felix Chapman in the parish house at Wagoner. Felix did not want to leave Mississippi, you know, but finally decided to devote his life to his chosen work. He bequeathed his popularity among the girls to that far-famed gentleman of the Junior Class, Hon. Tully Nettleton. Rose: I haven't heard from Florence Odell in ages. Lucile: Florence Odell, better known as Valeska Suratt, is now with the Vitagraph Co., playing Vampire parts and making $1,000 per week. She is leaving the stage to take charge of the home of Mr. Wm. K. Schmitt in New York City. Joe: Well, there's Forrest Duncan. He'll certainly make something of himself. He is devoting his entire time on Saturday nights to the study of the graceful art in which Vernon Castle has made himself conspicuous. Favoretta: Oh, say, wasn't it too bad about Harold Francis. But everyone says he was driven to it by the demands and extravagances of his wife, Athene Francis. Lucile L.: Why, I haven't heard anything about it. Favoretta: Why, the papers have been full of it. He was cashier in a bank at Warner and absconded with a large sum of money. He was caught, however, and is now serving a term in the penitentiary. It is rumored that the third person in the case was Admiral Canfield, an old friend of Mrs. Francis. Udell: Orpha, I heard that you were visiting Harriet West the other day. Orpha: Yes, she is living in California now. Her husband owns a fruit ranch. Her first husband, an aviator, was killed in an accident. Rose: What has become of the silent members of our class. 116 CLASS PROPHECY —Continued Joe: I heard that Mary Payne had settled down for life. She owns a chicken and peach farm near Agency Hill. There was a write-up in the evening paper the other day commenting on her wonderful success. It seems that she is making quite a reputation fer herself. Her greatest renown, however, is gained from the fact that her chickens die a "painless" death. Clarence: Helen Kell is reported to be engaged to a young newspaper reporter, but no confirmation of the story can be found. I've just been worrying my head off— Rose: Too bad, Clarence, but maybe it isn't true. Lucile L.: You remember Laura Kitchel, that unassuming, studious Senior. No one would ever think it, but she is a policewoman in Denver, Colo. She is giving good service. Joe: Speaking of service, you know Maud Livingston was always fond of military service and things, especially cross-guns from the Texas A. and Mj. She was dis appointed in love and joined the army as a Red Cross Nurse and her special duty is to soothe the hearts of soldier boys. Udell: What became of the fair headed Senior, Mildred Grace? Orpha: She was in the Mexican war as a Red Cross Nurse and while taking care of Ed Lockard was shot through the heart, but her heart was so large she recovered without much trouble and is now living in Chicago. Clarence: Did you know we had a representative in the agricultural line? Earnest Thompson owns a farm at Pryon—three acres, I believe—and is reported to be quite successful. Lucile K.: I ran into Bee Worcester the other day,—you remember her as the pal of everyone in our class. Same old chatter. Favoretta: What of our friend Hester Waters? Orpha: Hester tried very hard to distinguish herself as an actress, but finally de cided that she had missed her calling. She began worrying over her one serious prob lem: whether to marry in leap year or to be an old maid. She decided in favor of the latter. Lucile K.: Where is Nina Hancock now? Favoretta: Haven't you heard? Lucile: No, not a word. Favoretta: She is teaching school in New Mexico and there are rumors that she is engaged to a wealthy Mexican. She writes to Virginia Peyton occasionally and tells her the news. Rose: By the way, where is Virginia, now? Favoretta: In Little Rock, Ark.—raisin};: Angora cats. Lucile L.: The last time I heard about her she was engaged to Ed Lockard. Favoretta: Well, they agreed to disagree some time ago. Ed had a bull dog that didn't make friends with Virginia's cat. Ed insisted that she dispose of the cat. She wouldn't, so their romance ended. Joe: Ed isn't married, is he? Favoretta: No, indeed, he is through with all women. He says they are obstinate and fickle. After leaving High School he lost his fortune and had to go to work. As he could do nothing but talk he became an auctioneer. He can sell anything from a beauty pin to an aeroplane. Lucile K.: Chas. Walker is also a salesman. We don't hear much about him, but he is quite successful. It is said he sells a hundred Fords a minute—more or less— in my opinion. Joe: Truman Harsha is also a successful business man. He was president of the Commercial Club and after leaving school, entered business in New York where he is now at the head of Harsha & Co., the great junk and second-hand store.

Well on the 10th floor of a rickety old tenement house in Chicago you can see Billy, bending over a washtub. She married Dew Eberle shortly after graduation and removed to Chicago. Dew supported her magnificently for a time, but finally realizing that his creditors were going to prosecute him. began playing poker. His first winnings caused him to skip. His one desire was to see Wm. Chappell take his place with the girls. Clarence: I found in the Scout, the other day. a poem which one of the students wrote about our great singer, Nance Gilmore. It reads: She sings in grand opera The opera is grand But as for her singing That no one can stand. She sings for assembly. Nobody knows why; And all that I know is She made 'em all cry. All hail to the singei Of old C. IL S. Of course we all like her. We like her—oh, yes! Joe: Speaking of ambitious people; there was Sherman Kirkland. I saw him last week up in the forests of Michigan working in a planing mill. Rose: By the way, what has become of our athletes. Clarence: I can tell you about Gordon Smedley. You remember him—that good looking chap so popular with the girls. He bequeathed his basketball ability to Wayne Cameron and after a successful college career has become an engineer. Lucile Kelly: Let me tell you about the last Senior— Agatha Kinney. There can be little said about her except that she had only one destiny—although she graduate:! — she waited. Incidentally she left her ear 1 obs to Mary deGraffenried. Joe: Wasn't there a Senior named Thomas—Thomas— Clarence: Oh, yes, Thomas Leech, wasn't it? Lucile: Yes, yes, the Hon. T. B. Leech. I suppose you realize that little Tom was an ambitious chap. After leaving school he went to Yale. He didn't like the climate in Muskogee. He drove a lumber wagon for two years at Yale—Yale, Okla. He is now a spieler for a side-show. 150 HRTi/TS ENGRAVER/ HALFTONES ZiNC ETCHING/ COLOR PLATE/ SCHOOL WORK OUR /PECi ALTY 214 WALL ST.
