14 Students from Page 33 of the Tom Tom Year Book for Tulsa Central High School, Graduating Class of 1925. Surnames on this page: Rabkin, Gore, Haggard, Lundy, Sollars, Card, Ravitz, Sowders, Cline, O'Hara, Drum, Weitz, Strait
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.
RALPH GORE
Tennis, School Life, Banking, Class Treas. 1921. Ralph is a smooth sort of fellow who would make a good politician or diplomat. Ralph is one of our leading "Pot-Boilers." If silence is golden, then no wonder Ralph is so often the object of a feminine avalanche similar to a "49" gold rush.
Bitter Truth: Up where the vest begins, Ralph wears a necktie with the blush of an aurora borealis in full flush.
LAURA HAGGARD
Girl Reserves, Athletic Assn., Girls Glee.
Bubbling over with life and good times all of her days in school. Laura is a tiny, blue eyed, brown haired girl, whose voice has been responsible for her being on T. H. S. map.
Bitter Truth: Topic of conversation with Laura --boys and more boys.
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."
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.
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.
DOROTHY CARD
National Honor Society, Girl Reserves.
Dorothy reminds us of a girl in a shampoo ad because of her curly auburn hair. She makes "A's" in school work and would make "A" in picture show attendance and novel reading if only grades were given. Tennis and swimming are Dorothy's favorite recreations.
Bitter Truth: She goes to bed at 9 P. M. but when she goes to sleep nobody knows.
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.
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!
ANNA CLINE
This young lady is happy as long as there is "pep" in the crowd. Therefore she continually inspires enthusiasm whether at a dance or at a football game. She doesn't believe in working too hard for there is danger of acquiring the habit--anyway Anna manages to get through and make good, and that's what counts.
Bitter Truth: She has a weakness for cokes published by "Watts."
WILLIAM O'HARA
Boy Scouts.
This is Bill's third high school, having gone to Rogers high school in Rogers, Arkansas, and Soldan high school in St. Louis, Missouri. At Soldon Bill was president of the Philatectic, or stamp collecting society. At Rogers, Ark., he was a member of the "24" debate team.
Bitter Truth: He collects stamps from Lavender scented envelopes sent frequently from every town once graced by his bewitching face.
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.
ROBERT WEITZ
Hi-Y.
A girl is a "rag, a bone, and a hank of messy hair," to this confirmed young bachelor. He likes to tease the girls but when it come to dates, he's missing. Typewriters were made for Robert to romp all over. He's a nimble kitten on the keys.
Bitter Truth: It takes a good man to persevere more willingly than he.
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.
