CLYDE JACOBS
Hi-Y, School Life, Tom Tom, Boy Scouts, Dramatics, Tennis.
"Jake" is a regular three ring circus plus the menagerie. His witty line, sublimely innocent stare,
and poetic [?] genius make up a matchless combination. In dramatics he goes over big, whether
in the role of a Noo York Dood or a capering Spanish bull.
Bitter Truth: He is, oh, so fickle.
HELEN MAE JACOBS
Helen is brown-eyed, curly haired and notorious as a giggler. She is so successful at teasing that
her friends are in suspense most of the time. In spite of her ability to portray the maid so
realistically, Helen declares her ambitions rise higher than the kitchen.
Bitter Truth: She expresses her artistic impulses in her signature.
PERCY JENKINS
As wild beasts seek their lairs, so Percy seeks the "Y." He has been active in the Hi-Y work
since his advent in Tulsa High and even now in his dreams, he finds himself wandering along the
Sapulpa boulevards on the way to the "Older Boys' Conference." Percy lives up to his ideal of
manhood, he plays football.
Bitter Truth: He lost his "land-legs" in "Pinafore."
CHARLES JOHNSON
"Haw! Haw! That's a good one, but listen to this one." Of course it would be none other than
jovial Charles chatting to his inseparable Shelby. While he eats, the cafeteria walls look down
and hold their sides in wonderment, for he can consume more hot dawgs, bowls of chili and
Eskimo pies in two minutes than you and I in two days.
Bitter Truth: His vociferous method of expression will get him heard in the cruel world.
DON JOHNSON
The most frequent frequenter of the Orpheum--that temple of exalted inspirations and
good-looking ushers. He's an inhabitant of basketball land, an ardent supporter of Three
Flowers' brilliantine, a lover of beautiful tuxedos, always on the front row in senior assembly,
and thus we portray Yonny Yonson.
Bitter Truth: A smooth number--ask Melba Brilliantine.
EDDIE JOHNSON
Eddie is the model which all ingenues-in-the-making imitate. She saunters down the hall with
an aristocratic air all her own, and has so many clothes it looks suspicious. Any T. H. S. boy
who forgets his identity should consult Eddie--she knows 'em all.
Bitter Truth: her name used to be Edna.
IDA JONES
Ida is one of the Four-Hundred--who take history--it's compulsory of course. That public
speaking course she shouts should help out bluffing in geology. Ida makes a keen pal, and if you
like to swim she's right there.
Bitter Truth: Geologically speaking, she's no fossel.
DONALD JORDAN
"Don" is a shark basketball and football player but refuses to admit it. He has a slender athletic
build, an engaging personality, blue eyes and fawn ears, and yet doesn't like to talk about
himself. He has been here four years, has pursued a commercial course, and intends to go to college.
Bitter Truth: "Don's" hobby is drop kicking--ask Mr. Travis!
WALTER JORDAN
Hi-Y
Walter breezes across the western plains from Montana. He likes the wide open spaces of the
wild west, but has found that Oklahoma can be equally as windy as the drafty mountain tops. He
is doing a specialistic job of math--perhaps that he may be able to measure the depth of Teapot Dome.
Bitter Truth: He won't tell the name of the girl of the golden west.
DOROTHY KEELING
Girls Glee, Girl Reserves.
Dorothy is a lively member of the flapper family, snappy and vivacious. Swimming, hiking and
dancing are her Daily Dozen, and a weiner, sizzling over a camp fire, is her best friend. Whe
wants to be a nightingale.
Bitter Truth: She'll never break her neck by over-work.
JULIA KEELY [Keily]?
"What are you writing, Julia?" asked her mother. "Love songs, mother," said Julia. They say he
lives in Oklahoma City, and that's why she has time to compose songs. You wouldn't think Julia
would indulge in such things for she is greatly interested in basketball.
Bitter Truth: She wants to teach the South American girls how to be graceful.
LEILA KATHERYN KEIM
Shorthand is her dish and typewriting her dessert. She likes to pound the keys in the sanctified
sanctum of a private office. We envy her shorthand because it comes in handy in taking history notes.
Bitter Truth: In her Freshman days she went to Oklahoma City high school.
HELEN V. KELLOUGH
Honk! Honk! Get out of the way of my Buick and me. Yes, it's Helen herself out for a spin in
her graduation present. Helen takes all hills on high, neither does she slow down for studies [she
stops]. She intends to continue her schooling at Vassar. Thus we conclude, a good girl for a
good school.
Bitter Truth: She may be fast when she goes past, but the cops are gonna slow her down.
JANE KELSEY
Tom Tom, Senate, Hi-Y, A. A.
Kelsey is her last name, we call her "Sunny Jane." She brings around our pictures that give us
many a pain. Jane is the "lil' boss" and she plays the part in admirable fashion. She devotes a
great part of her time to Tom Tom work but even then she manages to look after Glee Club interests.
Bitter Truth: She is "able" to look after Adam's son.
KATHERINE KERST
Katherine is a sweet little lady despite her name. What's in a female's last name anyway? It's
easily changed. kitty's bobbed head is the seat of many a mischievous prank and the "children of
her brain" have caused many a pedagogue to sigh.
Bitter Truth: She's high-powdered but she takes a lot of gas.
MARGARET KIMBALL
Although Margaret's brother has the same initials as she has [M. K.] they are as opposite as it is
possible for them to be. Margaret has taken Clothing in high school for three years, and as she
also takes Foods, we would suspect her hobbies to be of a domestic sort.
Bitter Truth: We believe she'd make a good nurse in her father's office.
MELVIN KIMBALL
Glee Club.
Melvin is well versed in the tricks of a romantic toreador, or a crap-shooting nigger, but is
destined to hang out an M.D. shingle. He's a prize winner as a noise maker, and will
demonstrate his prize anywhere. Melvin is enthusiastic when sport is mentioned, but should
anyone suggest study, Oh, well--he's only human.
Bitter Truth: He's a social whip-poor-will.
JANE KIRK
Honor Society, Girl Reserves, Booster Club, Tom-Tom.
The honor society has had a very successful year with Jane as it's leader. She is a serious minded
and capable young lady, as interesting and entertaining as she is industrious. Jane first won
fame, when she was a sophomore, for writing the school song, "Tulsa High."
Bitter Truth: She is a Marathon "Flea hopper."
GLADE KIRKPATRICK
Track, Booster Club, Athletic Association.
Glade is a mystery. Glade is quiet. Glade also quite likes a smiling face that is not so quiet. So
we think you will quite agree with us that although Glade is quite quiet, yet it is not quite certain
that Glade seeks absolute quiet.
Bitter Truth: Glade thinks it is not far to Tipperary.
GLADYS KISKADDON
She's dainty and demure. Against a background of hollyhocks in an old-fashioned garden, she
would make a lovely representation of a girl of the "sixties." Her shy little mannerisms enhance
her attraction and make her a favorite. Her scholastic record shows her to be a worthy example.
Bitter Truth: How incongruous if Gladys should some day land in jail!
ALICE MAE KISTLER [photo]
Sec. Sophomore Class, Booster Club, Senate, Dramatics, Tom Tom, Football Queen.
Born on Monday--the gods meant her to be just what she is --a Queen. The Prince of Wales
didn't make Tulsa, though, so we had to make her football queen instead. But we don't care.
Bitter Truth: It's too bad she got licked in the beautiful boy contest, but just the same, she filled
the Tom Tom coffers.
RAMONA KITTRELL
Tom Tom, Girl Reserves, Booster Club.
Ray, of pug nose fame, is as well-liked and as conscientious a student as the senior class has. No
matter when, where, nor how, she always manages to be able to find a thrill just around the
corner, in the shape of someone or something, usually someone.
Bitter Truth: We can't remember whether it's Lawrence and Winfield, [Kansas] or Winfield and
Lawrence.
TOM KNAELL
Tom is specializing in the manual arts, and intends to try South America as a field for
agricultural implement selling. This is his goal. Geology is his sideline and hobby, and he is
also a mappist of no mean ability.
Bitter Truth: He's girl-proof.
KENNETH KNEPPER
T-Club, Athletic Association, Band.
Toot, toot, toot. That's either Kenneth's Ford or his cornet, it's hard to tell which. Kenneth is just
another one of those woman-haters who fell hard of late. He started out with a bottle of hair oil,
and now he's become a dyed-in-the-wool sheik.
Bitter Truth: He wears suspenders.
PAULINE KOONS
Athletic Association, Aquatic Club.
Pauline is an energetic young person who can be graduated in three years without worrying
anybody. Her polite manner, her interest in her work, and her innocent, appealing way of asking
questions never fail to charm her teachers into giving her A's.
Bitter Truth: She aspires to teach Latin.
BETTY KREBS
"Girls with curls go passing by, dainty, graceful, bold, and shy,
But the one that takes my eye is Betty."---Robert Lewis
Fun personified--witty even in Physics II under Professor Schupbach. She's little in stature, but
makes up for it in noise.
Bitter Truth: "She wears no man's collar."
ARCHIE K. KRIETE
Hi-Y.
A blonde and dignified embryo lawyer from Kansas. Archie is a successful ex-home room
president and an enthusiastic Hi-Y worker. He has such an amiable disposition that he doesn't
even hate people who mispronounce his name.
Bitter Truth: He spends his evenings at home digesting chemistry books.
JUSTINE KUENTZEL
T-Club, T-Walkers, Girl Reserves, T. N. T>
Justine's lovely long hair has caused her a peck of trouble. She has even been attacked by mobs
of girls with scissors. If you want to know how to farm successfully, ask Justine, for she is said
to be a good farmerette.
Bitter Truth: She's never found a boy who could keep step with her.
DELVIN LAIDLEY
Interclass Basketball.
Delvin is known chiefly for his promiscuous use of hair oil. In fact the only things which keep
him from being a perfect sheik are a turban and a harem. He seems to be well started for a
complete harem, however, so his future looks quite promising.
Bitter Truth: Speaking of hair, he's "oil" right.
EVELYN LAMAR
Evelyn is that dainty little Titian blonde with the keen tennis stroke and ambitions to be a
teacher. She designs all those pretty clothes she wears, so we know she'll be a knock-out in
home economics, if the high school boys don't claim all her attention.
Bitter Truth: It's her marcel that keeps Clyde faithful.
LEE LAMAR
Lee is the fast-stepper who has created a demand for traffic cops in our corridors. He's a shark in
history but king of all he surveys in study hall. His chief characteristics are his freckles and slick
hair. When Lee goes after anything he gets it, even if he has to buy it.
Bitter Truth: He has the heebie-jeebies in his knees.
MAE LAND
Indian Club, Girl Scouts.
A vest pocket edition of this year's class and a mighty lively one too. She's like a tadpole in the
water and has plunged into the dramatics whirlpool. And, although she vies with the most wee
freshie in size she wears her mantle of senior dignity like the most solemn senior when she
wants to do so.
Bitter Truth: He was so bashful she had to propose.
ED LANNING
Athletic Association, Football, Boxing.
Tis' the physiognomy of Eddie Lanning you now must be scanning; for four long years he has
been planning, and tons of knowledge been canning; till at last he will be manning his way to
rescue his diploma some bright day in May. The wave in his hair will always be there.
Bitter Truth: A caveman in style, but he dislikes his onions wild.
LOLITA LANSDON
"Little Sis" has arrived at seniordom, exams, beaux, and diplomas. During the year she has
developed a craving for Social Problems and Foods [Wonder why?] And Miss Babe Ruth shows
the real stuff when she plays baseball!
Bitter Truth: She thinks she should reduce.
HARRY LANTZ
This Harry and Don Quixote have at least one thing in common, and that is a lantz. However
our Harry doesn't crave wind-mills in the manner that old Don did, but this victim takes his spite
out on the modern Scrip dance and often rides his old Walk-Overs to the scene of struggle.
Bitter Truth: This biography doesn't count. Harry ain't no senior, but likes to have his picture
taken.
LEOTA LASSITER
T. N. T.
It's an extraordinary event when Leota is seen without Bernice and Ruth; they rival the three
musketeers. Leota is another would-be teacher. She's a real booster, for she holds one of the
best records in school for never missing a play or game.
Bitter Truth: She makes her own hats.
JEWEL LEE
Jewell rides her hobby horse with a piano in one hand and an Orpheum program in the other,
while she juggles a volume of Cicero on her head. She reserves her "talk" for a few choice
friends who can vouch for her happy disposition. The A's fall into her lap like ripe apples.
Bitter Truth: The desire to discover the vamp in Caesar's life.
KATHRYN LEE
Kathryn's idea of a desolate world would be one in which jokes and chewing gum were barred,
so if you would be her friend for life, supply her with plenty of both. She keeps up with all the
new shows and song hits, and is always three stops ahead of the fashion magazines.
Bitter Truth: She hates boys who wear glasses.
WANDA LEE
Her idea of a good time is to have the dentist postpone the appointment indefinitely. Two years
ago, Wanda made ancient history by playing the part of old Lady Autumn in the hippodrome.
Clothes bother her to the extent of ruining her concentration on Commercial Law and French verbs.
Bitter Truth: A cheap skate doesn't cut any ice with her.
GEORGIA LEWIS
Georgia Lewis is one of the snappiest all-around girl athletes in school. She is kinda tiny but she
clears the bar at five feet six inches and plays ball like a whipping flame. Georgia is like a blue
steel spring when it's all wound up, since you just have to touch the right chord and away she goes.
Bitter Truth: You never get really acquainted with her.
ROBERT LEWIS
T-Club, Orchestra.
Bobby, renowned "Spaghetti dancer," is a real big light in musical circles. He intends to be a
symphony orchestra conductor, and his progress toward this goal has been great. Besides being
a musical genius, he has made astonishing grades in Latin and Chemistry. Sh--he carries his
love letters in his brief case.
Bitter Truth: He is a "poifect lady" with the proper costume.
PORTIA LEITENBERGER
Portia's giggle reminds one of a tramp's luck [up and down.] Portia likes her clothes done in
green shades. Her work on committees consists of assenting to ideas and always being on time,
two essentials in a good committee member. She is everything Shakespeare says a Portia should
be.
Bitter Truth: She doesn't know a thing about herself.
VERNON LICH
Tulsa High School's happy-go-lucky friend of everybody. With a fine physique as an aid,
Vernon has participated in all athletics, making his letter in wrestling this year and having filled
an important track position for several seasons. Once he was a glee club warbler.
Bitter Truth: We don't know any. Ask Mexa Taylor.
FORREST H. LINDSAY
Booster Club, Hi-Y.
The tall center on our famous basketball team. Forrest showed Sapulpa some of the finer points
in basket shooting. He is the faultlessly tailored individual whose hobby is loud ties. Forrest,
Kermit and Melvin are the three "wise fools," one for all and all for one. They are inseparable.
Bitter Truth: Twenty-two inch cuffs.
EVA LINGO
Girl Reserves.
Curly golden hair; sky blue eyes that peep coyly about. She enhances the faultless complexion
with frocks of dainty pastel shades. How she danced, our Eva danced the minuet in the George
Washington assembly long ago!
Bitter Truth: Eva likes for her "friends" to write romantic biographies in her memory book.
MURIEL MARGARET LINT
Booster Club, Tom Tom.
She is a regular little "golddigger" when it comes to raking in money for the Tom Tom [she says
she practiced it on the masculine members of her household]. Muriel ranks high as a student
and not only enjoys all kinds of athletics--but also athletes.
Bitter Truth: The boys call her "Hard Hearted Hannah."
GERTRUDE LIVINGSTON
Orchestra, Tom-Tom, T-Club, Booster Club, Girl Reserve.
Gertrude is a vivacious blonde with attractive dimples and a nose for news as well as an ear for
music. Being a talented violinist, she has played in the orchestra for some years and has chosen
a musical career.
Bitter Truth: She had her first "bow" when she bought her violin, and has been making 'em
useful ever since.
EARL LOGAN
Not to graduate.
Our dignified young nobleman with a remarkable taste for dances, pretty girls and geology, Earl
is the 1925 revised version of Valentino. A good-natured, never serious fellow who can always
see the funny side of things and even get a laugh out of Commercial law.
Bitter Truth: He won the city championship for amateur golf [African}.
SAVOY LOTTINVILLE
Tom Tom.
Savoy's the cleverest, quickest, hardest-hitting history shark that ever exhausted the department.
He has another stomping ground in chemistry, and his intention is to gain a throughly
symmetrical education, and to cap a civic career with the state governorship.
Bitter Truth: He's so serious the grand canyon is nothing but a wide crack to him.
BOYD LOWE
Interclass Football, Basketball, Baseball.
Behold the dashing young peanutsacker! Although Boyd steadfastly maintains that the only place
he ever sacked peanuts was for the T-Club, nevertheless, some have their suspicions. Boyd's
hobby is athletics. He plays basketball, football, baseball, and works for the ball park. During
off hours some say he plays billiard balls.
Bitter Truth: He orders his clothes from Sears Roebuck--Imported.
BILL LUNDY
Bill's tastes are widely separated--she favors arguments, artists, and aquatics. She might be a
fiery debater, if she did not prefer to spend all the time possible in D6. She owns a Dunton
painting and is prepared to defend it in person from fire, burglars, and self-appointed critics.
Bitter Truth: She won't be satisfied with anything less than an English nobleman.
Back to Tulsa Central High School Class of 1925
