MAX DARLING
"Darling, will you make your report next?" said the president of the Christian Endeavor Society
at a city union meeting some time ago whereat Max blushed in perfectly Darling fashion. He
likes music and his hobby is radio and other branches of science. He has personally constructed
the largest telescope in the state.
Bitter Truth: Max's chief aversion is a "girl with a contagious giggle."
EARL DAVIES
A Willys-Knight dashes by, a blond-headed gentleman is herding the said conveyor and we
recognize Earl Davies, maintaining the speed that is manifest on the gridiron. Earl's main
pastime is shuffling groceries in his dad's store, and in the future he hopes to build up his
business even so far as to surpass Piggly Wiggly.
Bitter Truth: He has ample opportunity to spill the beans.
DOROTHY A. DAVIS
Girl Reserves, Athletic Association.
A private office of a large bank or business corporation labeled "Dorothy A. Davis, President," is
her day dream. As proof of her business ability she wears that boyish bob, mannish clothes and
seldom changes her mind when she once decides a thing. She speaks in a slow drawling voice
which discloses her excellent sense of humor.
Bitter Truth: She hurries only when she is hungry.
GUILFORD DAY
Hi-Y, Boy Scouts.
"Bud" is renowned for his deep blue eyes and bill-board feet. He hates Latin vehemently, but
throughly enjoys supporting the athletic teams with his whole heart, voice, and the nearest
cowbell. He classes himself as a notorious woman-hater, but has been known to weaken.
Bitter Truth: He has a turn for fluffy poetry, yet his favorite remark is "You big ox."
ANDREE DAVENPORT
If you have any pronounced feelings concerning red please consider Andree. She even wears
tight red beads that clasp her neck in a fond embrace. She is also a good swimmer despite the
fact that she is known as a "dainty thing." Her specialties have been home crafts and home room.
Bitter Truth: She's so curious that she equips her ears with detectaphones.
PAUL DENNY
Hi-Y, Athletic Association, Orchestra, National Honor Society, Interclass Athletics, School Life.
Paul is another of the famous Dennys, and seems to uphold the family escutcheon quite well. He
goes out for athletics, makes good grades, and wrestles with one of the second fiddles in the orchestra.
Bitter Truth: His voice is pitched as high as his aspirations.
JOE DENTON
Joe attended Sapulpa high for three and one half years. While there he was an accomplished
actor, participating in several plays. In his short time here he became known chiefly for his
public speaking ability. His chief wail is that he has not had time to meet as many good-looking
girls here as he knew in Sapulpa.
Bitter Truth? It takes more than one school to fill his brain.
EDWARD B. DIMON
Last fall, Ed led the T-Walkers in a bombing attack on the capital. His dynamic force lifted him
through English VIII. Some said his recitations like Quebec were founded on a tall bluff. Be
that as it may, Mr. Dimon is a prospective journalist and publisher and has already completed a
semester's work at M. U.
Bitter Truth: Ed needs just half the time to get twice as far.
HILDA DICKINSON
Glee Club.
A tonic of Hilda every morning would be a good eye-opener to the dispositions of some of us.
She's as cheerful as a chipmunk and as busy as a bee. She thinks the fountain of youth can be
found at the nearest drug store. Hilda made an ornamental and useful member of the Glee Club.
Bitter Truth: She doesn't need to use yeast to rise to the occasion.
HORACE DIXON
Teacher: "Here comes the lagging schoolboy with his shining morning face;" Class in unison:
"Horace Dixon." "Ox" has the suave manners of an English duke, and like him, always has his
foot in it, "doncha know." He has that mysterious air, the most subtle of charms; villains of
melodrama, please note.
Bitter Truth: He uses shinola on his hair.
FERN DOTSON
Girl Reserves, T-Walkers. Strange to say, although her name is Fern, her favorite color is not
green, but is lavender, which she can charmingly display. She specialized in drawing funny
pictures and giggling most of the time, and the rest of her spare moments she is used as an
audience by prospective arguers.
Bitter Truth: She rides a bicycle--at night.
HOMER DOWELL
Athletic Association.
A good-looking carefree lady's man. Homer isn't bashful, not at all. He manages the local
telegraph office. If the women don't ruin him, he hopes to be president of Western Union some day.
Bitter Truth: He waterwaves his hair.
DON DOWNING
Band, Athletic Association.
In spite of his ability to make remarks which have sent many yawning classes into laughter, Don
really takes life seriously. His secret ambition is to be a famous musician. Besides bing a
saxophone artist, he is a perfect dancing partner and an all around good student.
Bitter Truth: Saxophone and clarinet will do their stuff in his kitchenette.
WILLIAM DRAIN
T-Club, Football.
Bill and four football T's are a hot combination. Hail, the conquering hero comes. Bill's
adventures are as absorbing as Professor Blotter's, Flappers are hereby warned to keep off
because he is a man of few words but loads of action. People like Bill, and we'll say he's one
fine fellow.
Bitter Truth: "That's enough out of you," said Bill when he had a flat tire.
NORMAN DRAKE
Senate, T-Club, Honor Soc. Dramatics.
Norman has been a little of everything in Tulsa High. He drew down the lead in "The
Copperhead" the biggest tragedy play of the year. He is contemplating going to West Point. He
is an exceptionally good mixer who has always been a leader in the social life of the school.
Bitter Truth: He blushes like a girl in her "teens."
ALFRED DROUOT
Glee Club, Booster Club.
This trim little youngster is Al himself. He entered from Riverview, attended here for four years
and intends to further his schooling at the University of California. He'll be at home there
among the tall redwoods. Alfred is one of the big guns up here; he carries a lot of weight.
Bitter Truth: Oh comic Valentine Day--alas, dear teacher, 'twas Alfred who drew it.
GAY DRUM
Just a flower from an old Carolina garden, and quite as unusual as her name. She is both an
accomplished violinist and a pianist. Her hobby is horseback riding, and hiking [when she can
go in a car]. A gay little girl with a gay little way--and you have Gay.
Bitter Truth: She can't pass up an apple orchard.
JAMES DUCK
There is nothing dry about this "lil" boy, even his name is suggestive. He is a speedy half-back,
a clever basketball player, [once it is said he shot at his opponent's goal] and at classroom
stalling he's a champion.
Bitter Truth: Scene in locker room; We threw a towel but Jimmy didn't duck.
EDRIE DUNCAN
Sometimes Edrie seems very quiet and studious and sometimes she laughs and shows just how
much mischief she is capable of doing. She has studied a commercial course in high school, and
intends to follow this work when she finishes school. "Tillie the Toiler" will have to look to her
laurels when Edrie becomes a business woman.
Bitter Truth: Her strange fascination for roller skating will lead to her down-fall!
LOWELL DUNCAN
T-Club, Hi-Y.
Lowell is the young man who looks after the interests of the Thompson Motor Company. He
also managed the Texas Refinery before that. Hence you deduce that he is going to sit with the
captains of industry someday. Lowell is an industrious chap, but he is also human for we
remember when he was late once to home room.
Bitter Truth: Assembly programs are his hoo-doo [We said he was human].
EVA EDGETT
Eva is one of our shining musical stars--from a voice in Glee to the gleeful cry of "peanuts" and
"hotdogs." This enthusiastic work in the T-Club has made her one of the most prominent figures
on the football field.
Bitter Truth: She composes never-to-be-forgotten melodies--with her eyes.
GEORGE A. ELEGAR
George is known among his friends as one of the "Gold Dust" twins because of his inseparable
companionship with Don Downing. George once decided to be a woman hater for life
until--well he changed his mind.
Bitter Truth: He doesn't care for his "spot light" fame.
CHARLOTTE ELLISON
Extra! Extra! Beauty has been found to be more than skin deep. Oklahoma vied with Burbank
in producing a perfect peach. Charlotte may be a peach but she works like a squirrel in a peanut
wagon. She is studious, is an actress, dancer, would-be cook and a fashion plate rolled into one.
Bitter Truth: When she's "sun-kist" the boys turn green with envy.
COY FERGUSON
Coy is one boy who believes in combining art and athletics, and is an adept at both. But he has a
very retiring disposition, and even when he does emerge momentarily from his barrier of silence
it is only to deprecate his own accomplishments. He has a buoyant, healthy attitude towards life.
Bitter Truth: He likes to paint models from real life.
LOUIS FERGUSON
T-Club.
Louis is a little of "everything." He likes mechanics, music, and fast cars. Day-dreaming is his
constant fad. It brings to his floating thoughts visions of a fast aeroplane in which he can hop
over to California [wonder why] after dinner each day.
Bitter Truth: He's at home quite often.
KENNETH FERRELL
Kenneth is so small you have to look twice to see him at all, but his record in interclass athletics
compares favorably with that of any young Hercules twice his size. He also shines as a
conscientious reader of home room thrift bulletins.
Bitter Truth: He is a follower of Peter Pan--he will never grow up.
VIRGINIA FINLEY
Virginia entered from Fort Worth high school. She claimed it to be a good school, but, then as
Columbus said "class will tell"[I wonder if he meant our class]. She likes English and is now in
her fourth year of the subject.
Bitter Truth: She secretly admires jazz bowties.
EUGENE FISHER
Eugene has engineered Mabel through the crowded course of the corridors so frequently that he
has gained practice for a future career as civil engineer. With a well filled lunch box under his
arm, he can spend an entire day joyfully hiking. Moreover, he fairly revels in the mysteries of
higher math.
Bitter Truth: Just as "an Airdale" is a "one-man dog," so Eugene is a "one-woman" man.
GLADYS FISHER
Girl Reserves. Gladys is a Kentucky belle, who was only with us one semester. She was a
member of the staff of the school paper in Lexington and although she was quite a Lexington
booster, Tulsa held a warm place in her heart. Her funny laugh and her frequent accidents with
her car amused all who knew her.
Bitter Truth: She has movie eyes---------but no intentions.
MARGARET FISHER
Girl Reserves.
Margaret may be a common-place name but this Margaret is not a common-place girl. Her last
name is Fisher which might indicate her occupation. Well, it does, for Margaret is indeed a
Fisher, and lands many fishes though she carries neither hook nor line, and seldom sees a stream
of water.
Bitter Truth: Margaret's dream has a well-beaten path on B corridor.
WILLIAM FLEETWOOD
His teachers call him William and every one says "William who?" Bill reminds us of a giraffe.
Why? Look at his legs and neck, "how's the weather up there, Bill?" His student activity card
looks like a cross-word puzzle with all the squares filled out. He is quite a B17 celebrity. Some
one please notify David Belasco.
Bitter Truth: His waves make you seasick.
HARRY FORD
Harry doesn't rattle like his namesake the fliver. He eases along in a slow deliberate way like a
Ford limousine. Although he is reserved and serious, his sense of humor and resulting "remarks"
have been the cause of much enjoyment in his classes.
Bitter Truth: You can never tell what a Ford will do.
FLORA MAE FORE
A Dainty "somebody" with a contagious giggle, and a hint at dignity. She has high aspirations
for a commercial career [and maybe domestic]. She won't say whether she used Anti-fat tonic or
Camps reducing records.
Bitter Truth: She ain't what she used to be.
HARRY FORMAN
Hi-Y.
Harry stars in basketball, as he has played on interclass teams for two years. Don't you think he
has a stern look?--He is trying to decide his life occupation. All that he can decide on at present
is to be an advertising man but he's also interested in his father's overall factory.
Bitter Truth: The original "Blue-boy."
WILLIAM FOX
Woof--woof--ain't he foxy? This young Bill came to us from Oklahoma City Junior High School
in 1922, but has adapted himself splendidly to city life. We don't know where he got it, but he
likes to walk, so he joined the "T-Walkers" [the best looking bunch in school.]
Bitter Truth: He knows more Ford jokes than anyone else in school.
MARY FRANCISCO
T-Club, School life, Booster Club, Girl Reserves.
Mary is a breath from old "K. C." She dances, makes "A" grades, has freckles, reads, sticks her
tongue out, and sports a left-handed curl. After combing the world for a freckle remedy, she
gave up and tolerates them. We think they are adorable.
Bitter Truth: We believe that old song "Oh, What a Pal was Mary."
RUTH FRANK
T-Club, Senate.
Ruth is a born executive and manager. She never goes into anything before she has the outcome
planned, and she sure "makes 'um step lively." She releases her excess energy by hiking and her
excess sweetness and time on Pray[ing].
Bitter Truth: She reminds one of "Abie's Irish Rose".
MARY FRAZEE
Girl Reserves.. "Frazzie" declares she will never marry. She intends to be a woman
politician--a lobbyist for shorter school hours, less work, and more outdoor sports for the coming
generation.
Bitter Truth: She is the girl satirists have in mind when they write essays on giggling.
ARTHUR FREED
Arthur is a good-natured fellow who believes in waiting to see what will happen before he puts
forth much energy. Like Willie Baxter in "Seventeen" he is in the process of learning to dance.
He hopes to reach the height of perfection in the final course of events.
Bitter Truth: Naughty boy--he tries to smoke when dad isn't looking.
LEONA FREEMAN
Athletic Assn., Girls' Glee, T-Club, Senate. When it's time to sing call on Leona. Her voice is
her fortune, for it has been responsible for several public appearances, and a couple of trips to
Norman with subsequent T's. She seems reserved and dignified but it is rumored that it's only a
mask to deceive the faculty.
Bitter Truth: She's letting her hair grow?
ROSE FRIEDMAN
Rosa is taking a Crate of English, Orr maybe it's sewing. She makes a Noble attempt at typing
and shorthand. Moreover: Rosa knows a needle from the eye down to the point, and when it
comes to cooking, boys, she beats the old hash joint.
Bitter Truth: She comes from Emerson, but she hasn't any love for his essays.
HAZEL FROST
Girl Reserves.
Hazel came from Cassville, Missouri, and has blue eyes and pearly teeth. She has been here
almost one year and intends to go to Tulsa Business College next year. Kodaking, dancing and
music are her hobbies. She is one little bit of happiness who is good-natured all the time.
Bitter Truth: She put "Misery" in Missouri.
MAUD FROST
Girl Reserves.
She's as attractive in her way as the window pane Jack Frost, her first cousin, painted on your
window Christmas morning. She pages her sister, Hazel, both in and out of class. They both
enjoy hiking and dancing and can coax almost any tune out of a uke.
Bitter Truth: She walks in her sleep.
Back to Tulsa Central High, Class of 1925
