lorinherbold.jpg (32254 bytes) LORIN HERBOLD
T-Club, Honor Society, Orchestra, Dramatics.
He is an accomplished violinist, concert master in the orchestra and a consistent hiker in the band. In dramatics he deserves to be called Johnny-jump-up. He holds records both as champion master giggler and Sunday School attendant.
Bitter Truth: He will never lack publicity.
vivianharrison.jpg (35455 bytes) MARY VIVIAN HARRISON
The object of Lorin's affections. Vivian is taking a commercial course. Why? Why not? She doesn't disclose the reason. She seldom talks, but the scope of the questions she can ask causes even teachers to quail. Vivian likes music and cooking but her special weakness is for red hats.
Bitter Truth: It wouldn't do for her to teach gym.
robertgallagher.jpg (37790 bytes) BOB GALLAGHER
Boy's Glee Club.
Never happy unless he's snuggled up to his chum--can't even enjoy a class recitation unless he's in the right neighborhood. He warbles for Mr. Crerie, and is reported to be a Latin-de-shark. His pet peeve seems to be the fact that he was once the hero of a popular song, "Oh, Mr. Gallagher, Oh, Mr. Gallagher--."
Bitter Truth: If Fords could talk!
paulinegreen.jpg (39203 bytes) PAULINE GREEN
Pauline always looks for the silver lining, and somehow never fails to find it. She's one whom nothing ever worries, not even shorthand seems to phase her. She's a peppery little lady, just chuck full of fun.
Bitter Truth: It wouldn't do to put her last name first.
vivianallen.jpg (34701 bytes) VIVIAN RUTH ALLEN
Vivian Ruth doesn't prefer that she be called by her full name, but as she has received pink slips for two other Ruth Allens, she must bear the burden. Dancing and music combine to make Ruth's hobby and she also revels in the hope that she will be an expert stenographer some day.
Bitter Truth : Sh; Vivian Ruth is a tom-boy, she plays real baseball.
frankhangs.jpg (28597 bytes) FRANK E. HANGS
T-Club, National Honor Soc., Hi-Y, Debate.
Hard work and dependability are Frank's chief attributes. He is always full of fight and has a scientific turn of mind, and will go to Boston Technical School or West Point. Frank's brown eyes, jovial face, and bowtie all bespeak his good mixing qualities. Church work is his hobby.
Bitter Truth: Frank's war cry is "the proof's in the puddin'."
ruthbarr.jpg (34648 bytes) RUTH BARR
Her voice is sweet and low, an excellent thing in a woman. Ruth has the southern style of beauty; moonlight goes well with the type. Personally we always adored brown eyes, both in women and dogs, but especially in girls. Ruth has a very helpful nature; we believe she would even help a burglar take away the piano.
Bitter Truth : She will never live to be a full-grown Barr Maid.
ruthbarr_extra.jpg (22245 bytes) Ruth Barr
This is another picture of Ruth, sent in by a family member.  It was taken when she was 18 years of age. . . . jim
faeball.jpg (39304 bytes) FAE BALL
Fae wants the business world to know that she has begun extensive preparations for a career as a private secretary. She thinks she won't work for any man who hasn't a million or so with which to finance trips to Europe for his employees. Fae takes her daily setting-up exercises by chewing a package of Wrigley's.
Bitter Truth : Her best friend owns a beauty parlor.
gladysfischer.jpg (30279 bytes) GLADYS FISCHER
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.
maryfrazee.jpg (38496 bytes) 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.
wendellsmith.jpg (35711 bytes) 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.
clairminer.jpg (35765 bytes) CLAIR A. MINER
She believes explicitly and irrevocably in frankness. We'll say she is courageous: People think that Clara shows her bravery by taking Cicero and French VIII together, but she's going to Vassar. Clair is very up-to-the-minute in the matter of popular songs, clothiers, and shows.
Bitter Truth: When Clair goes to Vassar, West Point will be Miner.
leonafreeman.jpg (31421 bytes) 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?
davidbradley.jpg (30048 bytes) DAVID BRADLEY
"Red" and soap boxes go together like ham and eggs. The only time he stops orating is while he takes printing, and perhaps he tries a little persuasion on the printing press. He's a red letter man in salesmanship class. Can sell anything from Crimson pep to cerise socks. He's the tadpole's legs when he gets in H2O.
Bitter Truth : Mr. Tilton gets him mixed with the red ink can.
