Tulsa Central High School Class of 1925

P through S

MARJORIE PAHMEYER
T-Walkers, Glee, Girl Reserves.
Marjorie is the blue-eyed blonde who ushers you to your seat at the plays and makes such a fine end on the T at the games. She is the happy medium between the old-fashioned girl and the modern flapper. "Margie" ought to be wise--she's librarian for the Mendelssohn Club.
Bitter Truth: She hordes the books like a wise man hordes his gold.

KENNETH PASSMORE
T-Club
A few years hence, we'll hop in our winged flivver and skim over to Abyssinia of an evening to hear Kenneth play before the King. His scrapbook is filled with pictures of famous pianists. In fact, the stage entrance to Convention Hall is quite worn with Kenneth's footsteps.
Bitter Truth: Despite the fact that we expect him to be nothing but temperamental as befits a future impresario, he isn't at all. We like him.

MARIAN PECKENPAUGH
Girl Reserves, School Life.
"Know the news" is the slogan of this school lifester. Besides being a capable business manager she displays talent as a "Cub." Marian further distinguished herself as the winner of the Extemporaneous Speaking contest. If you want to hear a good debate just start an argument with her.
Bitter Truth: She thrives on compliments.

FRANK PETERSON
Frank spends most of his time wandering around pulling the trousers legs of his taller fellow seniors, trying to get their attention. His hobby is radio, as his empty pocket-book and full junk box bear testimony.
Bitter Truth: His voice changed just this year.

BILL PHILLIPS
T-Club, Captain of Basketball Team.
Bill certainly looped the loop when he came to shooting baskets. Yes, Bill, being naturally handsome and crowned a curly blonde attracts a pretty maid by the name of Pauline, but now, my friends prepare for the
Bitter Truth: He's married--.

HELEN PICKEL
Just any kind of day will do so it isn't raining. A lunch basket filled with goodies, a camera that works and two or three lively companions and Helen is off for a real hike. Even if Mr. Bolyard is along explaining the species of rock and soil, she enjoys it.
Bitter Truth: "The saints preserve me. I'm in a pickle," said Helen as she got in the cafeteria Jam.

EWART POTTER
Ewart's hair is beautifully curly, but he thinks in straight lines. He would have been a member of the Tom-Tom staff but for the intricacies of a T. H. S. schedule. He claims he is satisfied with life. He is known for his interest in geology, and hates no person or thing.
Bitter Truth: He didn't tell the truth--he hates girls and oral themes.

ALICE PRATER
Girl Reserves, Tom-Tom.
She likes such deep subjects as Virgil and chemistry, and stoutly maintains that they are harmless. However, she spends little time studying. Some people think that her name signifies nothing but they should withhold judgment until she gets enthusiastic about one of her theories.
Bitter Truth: She is happiest when the cafeteria has spaghetti for lunch.

CLYDE PRAY
Debate, dramatics. I'm a duck, watch me swim. Thus we can readily see that nothing dry appeals to Clyde. He's a good natured fellow, takes things easy, and lives life each day. Clyde is not so very big, but Wrigley says "It's the little things that count in fife".
Bitter Truth: Alas he loves a maiden fair: Where 'er she is, he's always there.

LORENE PRICE
Lorene's make-up is one of those rare combinations that always go over so big, that of red hair, and a very fair complexion. Although they say she's shy in the dramatics class, she surely makes herself heard in the swimming pool.
Bitter Truth: Lorene is a high "price."

JOSEPHINE PURDY
"Joe's" bright and smiling face, upon which it seems that many gents [not including assembly speakers] gaze is topped by a perfect marcel. Besides, her blonde beauty, she also possesses beauty of voice. The Glee Club has enlisted her as one of its warblers.
Bitter Truth: She has that Tulsa High school girl complexion.

CHRISTINE PUTNAM
Booster Club.
Puzzle: What is a name of six letters signifying why Christine was on Grant's side during the play "Abraham Lincoln?" The answer is "Harold." She is a cataleptic agent in a chemistry class because she helps the class to react, but isn't changed herself.
Butter Truth: Christine loves to play bridge, but making a safe passage over one is a different matter.

ISADORE RABKIN
He, Isadore! No, he's a jumping-jack. He is a tease, he'll help anyone in a test whether or not he knows the subject, and he'll talk your eyebrows off, but he has the kindest heart in the world and everybody is fond of him
Bitter Truth: "Sleep, chief nourisher in life's feast," how he loves it.

RUTH RABKIN
What Percy Grainger would be were he feminine. This clever little girl can gather in "A's", type perfect copy by the yard, keep house for her home folks immaculately, manage Isadore [?], keep smiling most of the time and maintain a likable personality through all of them.
Bitter Truth: She has the gift of gab.

MORGAN RANSDALL
Distinctive and famous, out of the gobs and gobs of seniors graduating this year, Morgan is the one gob who saw actual service aboard a submarine. For twenty-three months he showed the Hohenzollern that a Yankee was not to be fooled with.
Bitter Truth: We bet none of his absences are unexcused from the office.

ANN RAUB
When Ann entered T. H. S. we scored another victory over Oklahoma City. She has only been with us a year, but is already noted for her ability to ask foolish questions. Her good-looking clothes and unbobbed hair, together with her naive remarks, immediately class her as "individual."
Bitter Truth: She pines for a Frenchman to practice on.

SOPHIE RAVITZ
Sophie has a big heart in her "will" requisite of Commercial Law. She left a dear friend $2000 berries annually, besides tuition for every year she went to school. Sophie likes to argue and she always keeps her temper while doing it. Sophie has a cute smile which goes well with those big glasses she wears.
Bitter Truth: She expected us to say she was like a sofa.

REAGAN, ANNA
Girl Reserves, T-Club, Honor Society.
Anna is so sweet that chemically she is C6 H12 O6, 6 parts of charm, 12 of helpfulness and 6 of optimism. Add up all these qualities and you have a mighty good pal and a girl worth knowing.
Bitter Truth: She's perfectly harmless until you call her "Annie Reagan" and then--.

ELIZABETH REED
Elizabeth belongs to the species, Harmless Vamp. She has the usual characteristics of the type--tall and willowy figure, eyes under perfect control, and a manner to match. Thus she is biologically. Aquatically, she's the goldfish's fins--she likes H2O in quantities equal to Sand Springs lake.
Bitter Truth: She can't be true to her name, she hates books.

REGINALD REED
Happy is the man that has but three periods a day--Reginald is the lucky dog. He's the sort of a fellow you like because he has the same luck with Chem and Math classes as you do. There is a strain of the heroic in his nature though because he mixed H2SO4 and H2O in equal amounts one day in the lab.
Bitter Truth: He went to a Military school to counteract his first name.

FAY RENFRO
Faye is the fair lady whose hair is just a little more perfectly marcelled than the next one. She has adopter Peter Pan's policy "to stay young and have fun." When you are near Faye, you feel that there is a sunny side of life, even in classrooms. "Parties and dances are very nice things, " comments she. Well, she ought to know.
Bitter Truth: When little Roscoe gets bad, she can paddle him.

ROSCOE RENFRO
Renfro is his name, Sand Springs is his station. He picked an "S" out there in track. He's a fast guy both on the hoof and in a car. He loves to play cross questions and silly answers in Chemistry with Miss Hill. And as for filling in the corners in the dramatics procuctions, he is right there.
Bitter Truth: He believes Dervish is father to the thought.

WILLIAM RICE
Senate, T-Club, Hi-Y, Radio Club, Tom Tom, Writers' Club.
Bill is just like an antenna, always absorbing but never broadcasting. Few but effective are his sentiments. He is the Cosden Building on legs--tall and slim. Bill is indeed one exception to the rule of a preacher's son, sober, quiet and witty, if you know him.
Bitter Truth: Wait till next leap year and watch the Rice fly.

CLAUDE RITCHEY [Also spelled Ritchie]
Boys' Glee, Basketball, Football.
Claude always has so many outside activities that you can never find him. When he was home room president pupils became accustomed to his sarcastic "now cut it out," delivered in withering tones for the benefit of whisperers in the back of the room.
Bitter Truth: Words of wisdom flow from his mouth like water on the Sehara.

SARA ROBERTS
Girl Reserves.
Nothing awes her, nothing silences her. So she is always being called upon to do something that no one else dares. Like her older sister, Geneva, Sara is versatile. She likes and tries her hand at every art from life-saving to free-hand drawing.
Bitter Truth: She relishes books like a "Diamond Dick."

MARGARET ROBINSON
G. R., T-Club, Dramatics,
She's "Sally from our alley," the tomboy of "The Charm School." An alarming frankness, a mischievous nature, and a keen sense of humor lurk beneath a 'spiciously calm exterior. As "the fool" in "The Hour Glass," Margaret proved her ability to play a deep emotional role, and gave us a peep at the serious side of her nature.
Bitter Truth: She aspires to be a scientist.

ANNA ROSE
It's a sad, sad story, but true--Anna rose from bed but too late to get to school on time. Now, multiply this experience by sixty and you have the minimum number of times it happened. Alarm clocks mean nothing in her young life. Her whole existence is composed of notes--musical and otherwise.
Bitter Truth: She'll never marry a man who wears specs.

GOLDIE ROSE
Goldie looks almost too young to be a dignified senior, and she certainly doesn't act like one. She's just like a little kitten, full of all sorts of playful tricks. Her facial expression is so innocent, that we almost believe she could get away with murder [although we advise her not to try it].
Bitter Truth: Goldie Rose, she tell all she knows.

ROXIE ROSE
Roxie enjoys almost every kind of outdoor sport. She enjoys tennis, swimming and hiking--especially hiking--when she drives a car. She is a serious worker and practices steadily in her chosen field--music.
Bitter Truth: When she drives at sixty per, she always misses the telephone poles by at least an inch.

SHIRLEY ROSE
T-Club.
Shirley is the girl in blue who has been here so long that she feels free to make faces at anybody she wishes. Her friend, Winifred Stahl, guarantees her to keep any crowd amused for an hour. Shirley wishes to attend either New York Art Institute or Columbia University, where she will prepare herself for a career as a professional illustrator.
Bitter Truth: She secretly wishes she were a boy.

DAN ROWE
With his blue eyes, slender but athletic build and well-kept hair, Dan presents an appearance that is indeed enviable. He has been in Tulsa High four years and made the swimming team last year. He intends to go to either Tulsa or Oklahoma University. Boxing has a great appeal for him.
Bitter Truth: He is too modest to quarrel, but blushes instead.

FITZ RYAN
Tom Tom.
We learn from Fitz that charcoal is made from grapevines and he ought to know for he's a most capable charcoal artist. Portrait painting and Miss Robinson are his ideals. He is the laugh promoter of every class. Maybe life's no joke, but he makes one of it, anyhow.
Bitter Truth: That Dodge sedan has a weakness for women.

DONALD RYAN
"Don" promises to be a prominent psychoanalyst and studies the phenomenons that happen during somnambulistic slumbers, and he says he will never be bothered by the ferocious articulations of an alarm clock. "Don" has female tendencies that are as yet undeveloped, but they are there ready to be ignited at a moment's notice.
Bitter Truth: Sleep-z-z-z-z, and walking.

LILLIE SAMS
Tall and slender, Lillie fits her name. Like the Gumps she's a hundred per cent American--she possesses Indian blood, and lends her public speaking ability to the Indian Club.
Bitter Truth: She thinks Sam's an excellent name.

CLARA SANDLER
"Wee and wistful" is Clara, a tiny snowflake from old Russia [but not the least bit cold.] She came to us three and a half years ago, and during this time she has mastered both the English and French languages. Clare is an embryo pianist, also a species of the "Genus Mermaid."
Bitter Truth: She has about exhausted the national supply of Irish freckle cream.

MELBOURNE SAWYER
School Life, Honor Society.
Melbourne drags in A's with hook and line consisting of a typewritten notebook and a wise look. His favorite occupation is holding forth on the proper way to study history. His disposition didn't improve any while he was business manager of School Life because he couldn't make the girls behave.
Bitter Truth: He got the habit of saving money while he was a business manager, so now he runs a bank account.

BERNICE SCAGGS
Enter "Salesman Sam" from Noo Youk. At the same time she may be welling roller skates to a gouty olf man, she juggles a column of figures as tall as the Woolworth building and ;icks a merry tune on the typewriter. Although she's rather shy she is about the "most smilinest" person we know.
Bitter Truth: She's actually trying to get fat.

THELMA SCHEIG
During the last year Thelma has learned to love T. H. S. [There's a reason]. Her locker at the end of B corridor is as popular a hangout as jelly-bean center. She intends to be somebody's stenographer after she finishes school, if she can get a job. As she says, she's not much for work.
Bitter Truth: Thelma sets a record for long dresses.

MARIE SCHMUCK
Marie and Evelyn Hood are the original Siamese twins who invented the famous Ham sandwich and Ice Cream lunch. A dry wit, the hardest to soak in, is one of the best things about Marie. She takes to water but thinks sleeping the best remedy for classes.
Bitter Truth: She believes that in union there is strength.

GORDON SCHULTZ
Gordon is the precise counterpart of the famous Frenchman, Robespierre. He has a low sweet voice of an exceptionally soothing quality. His greatest ambition and fondest dream is to be tall and big and popular with the sex that used to be weaker.
Bitter Truth: He wiggles his knees.

GEORGE SCOTT
His attire is absolutely correct [he admits it.] But seriously speaking, every one knows and likes George. He is a great student as is shown by the fact that he passed Miss Bowman's history course. This statement alone should preserve him a fitting memorial in these corridors.
Bitter Truth: He is like the tom cat that sleeps all day and prowls all night.

GERALD SCOTT
A unique slicker, Bah Jove! Although not playing on the baseball team, he certainly makes a hit with the smart set. Gerald pitches a cute line and catches wonderful dates. In all, he's a sure home run.
Bitter Truth: He drives a Peerless.

ELIZABETH SHAW
Newcomers are numerous this year, but we like Elizabeth especially. She comes from Pittsburg high and her main interest in life is athletics. Cambridge, Mass. is her goal, as she intends to follow the steps of Miss Carlson.
Bitter Truth: Her favorite sport is chasing dates on the Sandwich Islands.

HASKELL SHELTON
Band, T-Club.
Since Shelton has a scientific trend, we beg to present the following data on his character and reputation. He played the baskets and the pigskins; he's a loyal supporter from the sidelines; he's handsome in his crimson band uniform, and his schedule indicates that he has heap much nerve.
Bitter Truth: His dramatic ability was almost discovered too late.

MARCELLA SHAW
A great spirit attraction, no wonder so many boys are to be seen hanging around. Marcella knows how to use her with to the best advantage in any situation, whether it be showing someone where to get off, or bluffing and English teacher. Marcella's wardrove resembles that of Solomon's wives--all of them.
Bitter Truth: She belongs to the Archeozoic period. Oh, pshaw.

ARTHUR SHERMAN
Arthur isn't very large in size; but he is growing. He improves his physique by swimming, increases his influence by persuasive arguments, and like the sunflower that grows by its fondness for the sun, he is growing more and more like his friend Sam Markovitz.
Bitter Truth: Work! Work! Go away, little Arthur wants to play.

VERNA SHIELDS
Verna shines forth as another star from Turley. The young lady knows how to handle a frying pan without getting burned, how to use a needle without getting pricked, and that isn't all--she can play basketball without hitting a basket.
Bitter Truth: She has discovered that one boy in Tulsa is worth six in Turley.

DARRELL RHEA SHREVE
Hi-Y, Athletic Association.
Darrell aspires to be a lawyer. He finds most of his recreation arguing with teachers. Just let him start discussing law with Mr. Swindell, and one perfectly good Geometry period is delightfully wasted.
Bitter Truth: He just put away short pants this year.

NANCY SIGMON [Also spelled Sigman]
Nancy has a reputation of being an A student. She is so good at school work that she qualified as a teacher and taught in Arkansas during the first semester. Although Nancy stayed away from T. H. S. at this time, she is finishing her requirements for graduation.
Bitter Truth: She believes in a wide course.

FRANK SILSBY
Frank is known about the "wilds" of B17 as Mr. Alhambra, but we don't care, he's a good fellow. The lad is starting out well, he is taking dramatics to learn all the ins and outs of the game. Then too, he plays a cornet so during the intermissions he could help in the orchestra. No doubt about it, he's a theatrical manager.
Bitter Truth: He thinks Barnum was right.

FRANK SIMLER
Interclass Basketball, Football, Track.
We heard at the Orpheum that "the bigger the car, the better the pick-up." Well, Frank has a whole squadron of Studebakers. He should find something pretty good, and it is rumored that sweet young things insist upon being transported. He says he's never had a date.
Bitter Truth: He is president of a Sunday-school class.

RALPH SIMON
Boxing.
Ralph takes after his uncle, the well-known Simon in the athletic department, with his light hair, sky-blue eyes and bent for boxing. The fans say that if his feet were much bigger, he would have a hard time getting over the resined floor.
Bitter Truth: "Simple Simon" doesn't fit him at all, so another nursery rhyme will have to be invented.

MILDRED SLATER
Mildred saves up her ideas for use in art class, so the reason for her customary silence is not that she has none. She merely has an aversion to reckless prolific advertising. Mildred believes in the old Mosaic Law, her slogan being, " a tooth for a tooth." That is why she makes you cultivate her acquaintance before showing you how interesting she can be.
Bitter Truth: Mildred's highest ambition is to help paint the Eiffel Tower.

MARY SLOAT
Mary is as quiet as a June afternoon. She has to be, as her powerful eyes and red-lipped smile would play havoc should she attract mob attention. Serious, too. Mary handles a Ford as well as her brother, John does, and usually gets a head start for the steering wheel.
Bitter Truth: She is hard to understand.

LILLIAN SLUTZKY
Debate, Tom Tom, School Life.
Along life's way we find many good pals but none more faithful than Lillian. She has made her mark as a writer, orator, debater, and in various departments of journalism. She likes to go to shows and plays and her hobby is sewing and knitting.
Bitter Truty: Lillian likes boys who can debate.

ALBERT SMITH
"Fate tried to conceal him by naming him Smith." His success may be attributed to his ability to make the most of the goods before him spread, even his unusual name. During the last year that such certificates were issued, he received a certificate for being neither absent nor tardy for a whole school year.
Bitter Truth: He wears a London lavender suit.

EDNA SMITH
She adores large people, especially tall ones. She thinks they have advantage. Salesmanship will never make her a saleslady, we fear. Chemistry will never assist her except in cooking.
Bitter Truth: Edna pokes her bonnet among the stars but her feet are more often in rippling brooks by the river of her dreams.

ETHEL MAE SMITH
She's like her middle name--welcome as the flowers in May. She can write exquisite poetry, almost as fluent as Willie Baxter in "Seventeen." And essays! She lives on 'em. No wonder she takes English VII and VIII and Journalism.
Bitter Truth: She's quite playful--on the piano.

PAUL SMITH
Here's another Smith for you. This one is from Joplin, Missouri, and has been in Tulsa High one year. Paul is going to make a draughtsman. He will probably spend next year in college at Springfield, Missouri. He swims, boxes and wrestles.
Bitter Truth: He knows Paul.

ROSANNA SMITH
Girl Reserves.
Roseanna is thankful indeed that study hall in the auditorium was abolished. She never could so much as utter a sound, for she is known for her ringing voice, and Mrs Polk didn't appreciate chimes in that place. She hates mathematics and can't understand why girls must dull their spirits in such torment.
Bitter Truth: She says she's interested in football but others say it's the players.

ROY SMITH
Senate, Booster Club, T-Club, Tom Tom, Hi-Y, Honor Society.
Roy is the capable president of the senior class. He resigned as president of Hi-Y in order to hold this important office. When prexy played the part of Matt in "Cappy Ricks," girlish hearts beat a quickstep, while the boys watched him enviously.
Bitter Truth: Sapulpa's beauties have nothing over Anthony's Cleopatra when it comes to Roy.

WENDELL SMITH
T-Club, Hi-Y, Booster Club, Athletic Assn., President Boys Glee Club, Boys Quartette, Football.
In the last district basketball tournament his robust tenor voice rose above all others in an urgent appeal for spectators of the games to try the Athletic Association's candy, pop, chewing gum and Eskimo Pies.
Bitter Truth: Some girls don't know he can dance.

PAUL SOLLARS
This boy of Swedish appearance is an accomplished banker, lawyer, tar-boy, poker shark and Franklin expert. He can talk on anything from geology to bear hunts. Paul can get in and out of any difficulty, and has the distinction of having toured Locust Grove Park in a full size automobile.
Bitter Truth: You can't forget him.

CLYDE SOWDERS
We never think of thoughtful Socrates without our minds reverting to his prototype, the Right Honorable Clyde Sowders, Esquire. Mechanics is Clyde's dish, and to be an Edison is his profoundest wish. We have often seen him strolling about the halls in "painful search" of "some important news" to report to the Tulsa Daily World.
Bitter Truth: Clyde oils his own hair!

WINIFRED STAHL
Tom Tom, Booster Club, Senate.
"Skinny" is one of the peppiest of Tulsa High's loyal workers--altho' she is so absent-minded about some things, when it comes to Art work, she's right on hand, as witnessed by her being chairman of the Tom Tom Art Staff. We all liked her hand-writing so well that she was the secretary of the class for two years.
Bitter Truth: Pink's her favorite color.

MARY LOUISE STALKER
T-Club, Girl Reserves, Honor Society, Tom Tom.
Smiles, dimples, work and Mary Louise. She is one of Tulsa High's most loyal boosters and scholars but no amount of responsibility has ever been able to overshadow her good humor. Besides being president of the T-Club, she is a member of almost all of the other organizations.
Bitter Truth: How the boys Stalker.

JENNIE STEKOLL
We behold Mutt and Jeff approaching, alias, Jennie and Clare, the inseparable. With a distinctive foreign air, patterned after Rosa Raisa, she may some day become the noted prima donna's accompanist. The way she dodges around in her Dodge it's a miracle she escapes the 'orspital.
Bitter Truth: Look in the sweetheart section.

MERLE STEVENS
Tulsa School Life.
Merle has been pursuing a college preparatory course and expects to be a civil engineer. At any rate Merle wears a golden necktie and slicks his hair back, and keeps his chest bedecked with fountain pens. He admits that his hobby is going to picture shows and he doesn't "stag" it neither.
Bitter Truth: " Joe" says he is "timid."

CLIEO STEWART [Also spelled Stuart]
Clieo still wears curls, and who can blame her? She is a Southern type girl in all respects. If you should enter a history class in which the Civil War was being discussed, you would hear the warm argument which Clieo puts forth in favor of the South.
Bitter Truth: 'Tis time she bobbed her hair.

OSCAR STEWART
He is so farsighted he knows just what he'll be doing five years from Friday at twelve o'clock. Oscar believes there is too much in life to spend so much of it in school. The only way he's different from most of us is that he expresses himself. He could have many dates but he prefers to spend his nights herding cars.
Bitter Truth: He's a second Conway Tearle.

RUTH STEWART
Raven hair but not a ravin' tongue. The only time she expresses herself freely is when she sings. When she does say something it is so subtle it takes a week for it to soak in. Ruth has a passion for horses, and she loves to ride them.
Bitter Truth: Seven letter word meaning lost culinary are--Stew Art.

CLYDE STONE
T-Club, Boosters Club.
"Pebble" is a nice geological specimen to have around. He is a clever artist when it comes to "spreading his burmuda" among the fickle gender. Clyde on many occasions has played the part of a romantic court singer. Socially speaking, he's a Dempsey.
Bitter Truth: In the minstrel, Clyde was looking for Sally--but he couldn't seem to find her.

LESLIE STRAIT
T-Club, Tom Tom, Dramatics, Booster Club.
Dramatics and Tom Tom are her specialities. This demure maiden can cry like a professional--[what?]. Proof--she played the weepy part of Susan in "Abraham Lincoln." "Hard work, and more of it", seems to be her motto. She always has her fingers in all the Tom Tom pies.
Bitter Truth: She'll never grow up.

HAROLD STREATER [Also spelled streator]
T-Club, Band.
Take Harold when the lights are bad and his hair will furnish enough light to get home on. He plays in the band so he will be able to drum up business in the future. Football and basketball games are hot and fiery when Harold's head is on the field.
Bitter Truth: He mixes Psychology and Commercial Law.

GAWEN STROH [Also spelled Gauen]
At last! A boy who is going to be a singer, one who intends to be a professional vocal gymnast. Gawen is also a member of the Junior Life-Saving Corps, and can perform like a coast guard. He has as many "dates" as Rockefeller has coins.
Bitter Truth: He's a long-winded dancer.

ALMA MARY STUEVE
T-Club.
Alma battles with straight hair with a hate which is counteracted only by her love for flower gardens. As far as we can learn she intends to lay down "de shubbel and de hoe" long enough to go to college. While she is not reading seed catalogues or talking to Florence McNally she pounds a piano lustily.
Bitter Truth: She actually enjoyed Aeneas' "Weary Wanderings Over the Sea."

RAY STUTSMAN
Dramatics, Football.
Daniel Boone seems destined to shine forth again in all his glory in the person of his devoted imitator, Ray Stutsman. Ray surely does have a gleaming calculating eye especially designed to function behind a trigger. Outside of his hunting togs Ray is afflicted with the Ford Mechanics mania.
Bitter Truth: Ray's nickname is "King Tub-on-the-ground."

WILLIAM SUMNER
T-Club.
He isn't Bill--just Willie. Yet he carries none of the stigma of Willie Baxter. When Willie plays the blase assembly crowd takes on a breath of life, for he can turn out creditable stuff, classical, jazzical, whimsical. He's a keen, hard-working studious lad.
Bitter Truth: He remains heart-whole and fancy free--yet.

GENEVA SUMMERS [Also spelled Summer]
Geneva is interested in bookkeeping and intends to make this her vocation when she leaves her "alma mater." She is not afraid to speak her opinion and her confident air assures her success.
Bitter Truth: Pearson's Chemistry is her acid test.

MARIE SUTHERLAND
Marie joined us in September, 1924, from Claremore. She has already learned the art of making friends in Tulsa High, for she has a smile for everyone. She can rival the left of "Minerva," with a needle and can expound the fundamental principles of the "Constitution" with equal ease.
Bitter Truth: She likes Peroxide [nit.]

MARION SWAIN
Marion sticketh to Math closer than a brother. He has taken all this high school affords, including college algebra. He won his numeral in basketball. The lad has been successfully vaccinated so he hasn't caught girl fever yet despite his good looks and intentions.
Bitter Truth: Will he always be --- "marryin?"

DOROTHY SWARTZ
Out-door sports for Dorothy Swartz! She lives through the day at school cheerfully braving the terrors of Chemistry and Spanish VIII to play tennis and swim afterwards. She is an excellent tennis player and has won her life-saving emblem.
Bitter Truth: She stands above the crown of medium stature.

Back to Top

Back to Tulsa Central High Class of 1925
