evamoran.jpg (14940 bytes) EVA MORAN
Behold Miss Moran, the future president of South China Correspondence School for Enterprising Business Women. We also suspect that she is a good cook. Oh well, everyone should have two professions. Success to you Eva, we hear that blondes are to be popular in 1926.
Bitter Truth: Give her More 'an she needs on the Eva 'a Xmas, and watch her spend.
eugenefisher.jpg (15806 bytes) 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.
janekirk.jpg (20038 bytes) 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."
princesschristie.jpg (23847 bytes) PRINCESS CHRISTIE
"Pert and pretty" is her royal majesty. Yes, and she is the local synonym for style, whether dainty and alluring in a filmy evening dress or a "Tomboy Tommy" in tweeds. She dances, drives a car like the speed Spook, never misses a steak-fry and likes the boys with balloon trousers.
Bitter Truth: She gets spanked when she's naughty as all little princesses should.
esterannhilford.jpg (24156 bytes) ESTHERANN HILFORD
T-Walkers, Girl Reserve.
Estherann usually has something new and humorous to "spring." In fact she's a continual surprise. She swims, dances, plays a piano, and generally enjoys school, but hates geometry like a small boy hates to wash behind his ears. Estherann can manipulate an organ or an easel with dexterity.
Bitter Truth: She takes off her shoes whenever she feels like it.
ruthbitterling.jpg (18466 bytes) RUTH BITTERLING
Booster Club, Athletic Association, T. N. T., Girl Scouts.
A real star in girls' athletics! Ruth's voice certainly is a contrast to her personality, as anyone would expect a deep, mannish voice to emerge from her. Ruth is an excellent example of the opposite of that old saying. "All saying and no doing."
Bitter Truth: She'd give anything to be a boy.
raymondcrowe.jpg (15528 bytes) RAYMOND CROWE
"Cockle doodle do" and we hear Raymond Crowe. He likes dramatics and his droll humor has brought down the house in front of the footlights whenever he is allowed to shine there. The stage has always called him for even as a freshman he shuffled the scenery around as a stagecraft boy.
Bitter Truth: What would happen if Ray were a parrot instead of a raven.
williamfox.jpg (13821 bytes) 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.
josephinepurdy.jpg (18791 bytes) 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.
edwarddimon.jpg (21056 bytes) 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.
leonagraham.jpg (21588 bytes) LEONA GRAHAM
Everyone likes the way Leona's hair curls about her pink and alabaster face. On that face there is an opening from which melodious sounds issue in Glee class. The only thing that music doesn't help her in is writing up the T-Club minutes and working physics problems.
Bitter Truth: She believes Adam's favorite song was "In the Shade of the Old Appletree."
robertgriggs.jpg (23621 bytes) BOB GRIGGS
Senate, T-Club, Boys' Glee.
Bob is Mr. Crerie's favorite Magnavox. His eyes are generally too full of fun to be deadly-however, his ability to look frightfully wicked and his deep voice won him the part of "Dick Dead Eye" in Pinafore. Bob also excels in mechanical drawing, chemistry and basketball.
Bitter Truth: He once argued in C9.
maryneely.jpg (23230 bytes) MARY LOUISE NEELY
Glee Club, Girl Reserves, School Life.
Extreme dignity--until you know her--and "curly cues" around her ears are characteristic of Mary Louise. She intends to devote her future to social service work for Girl Reserves. "President of her home room" and "Cicero shark" are some of her titles.
Bitter Truth: She has visited the paint shop so often that she can't get away from publicity.
alfredcrowell.jpg (13556 bytes) ALFRED CROWELL
Band, Indian Club.
"Aw guy listen to this mournful note--" a deep silence reigns and then a low howl pours forth from al's trombone. He is a wizard on the sob maker. His greatest success was made at the football game when his horn caught more peanuts than the rest of the band instruments combined.
Bitter Truth: His hair would be red 'twere not for bandoline.
