14 Students from Page 41 of the Tom Tom Year Book for Tulsa Central High School, Graduating Class of 1925. Surnames on this page: Neptune, Benzel, Courtney, Hawkins, Lamar, Bagwell, Willcockson, Lee, Murray, Van Schaik, Appleman, Sander, Booker, McMorris

JOHN NEPTUNE
John is a member of the firm of Neptune and Baker; those two fellows who go together most of the time. He is interested mostly in basketball and hails that season each year with a loud voice. In spite of rather ponderous attachments to his lower extremities he get over the court in a hurry.
Bitter Truth: His voice is quite sweet and chawming , girls.
ROBERT BENZEL
Bob is long, lean, lank and sometimes he might sing "My Heart's in Italy, but my Hair's in Greece." When asked how long a man's legs should be, he observed that they should reach to the ground. Strange to say, his legs are a perfect example of his reasoning.
Bitter Truth: His Cranium would dishearten any phrenologist.
RAYMOND F. COURTNEY
T-Club, Hi-Y, Senate, National Honor Society, Tom Tom.
Ray won't tell what the "F" in his middle name stands for, but we are sure it must have something to do with history. He's that long, lanky, sleepy looking fellow you see wandering about B corridor. When a great naturalist first saw Ray's face he muttered something about Darwin.
Bitter Truth: He is afraid to ask a girl for a date.
ARGO HAWKINS
He owns a laurel wreath for being so tall. Because of his studious nature and love of reading, he reminds one of Abe Lincoln. His reading is generally scientific and particularly directed toward radio. As for basketball, he can just reach up and tip 'em in.
Bitter Truth: Eventually he'll be bald--from sleeping in short beds.
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.
WANETTA BAGWELL
Writers' Club
Meet Miss Bagwell from Blackwell. Wanetta arrived this year and is finishing her preparations for writing exceedingly modern short stories. She is full of pep and very friendly, as all her friends will testify. Her fatal weakness records that she can't get along without teasing everyone she meets.
Bitter Truth: She has a past.
MAX WILLCOCKSON
Tom Tom
He's very closely connected with tardiness, detentions, and pink slips. He, however, handles all such delicate matters with unusual tact. The editorial table is calling, calling to him, so he is getting in training by watching a Sundayschool paper thrive under his scrubbily hand.
Bitter Truth: His hobby is shadowing class sponsors.
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.
DAVID MURRAY
T-Club
A Beau Brummel by day and a mechanic by night. Dave succeeds in keeping in the good graces of all girls without losing cast with his rivals. He's a comet on the basketball court. T-Club hot dawgs and pop bottles still haunt his peaceful slumber.
Bitter Truth: He drives a different car every day, but it doesn't mean anything.
FRED VAN SCHAIK
In the spring of '22 the T. H. S. woodturning department won first place at Norman. Fred's nut bowl was an artistic addition to the collection of lathe worked articles. Fred's hobby is the thing he can do best out in the great open spaces. As an angler, camp cook, or a hunter for big game, he is to be sought by wood companions.
Bitter Truth: He'll make some girl a good wife.
MARION APPLEMAN
Let us present Nate Appleman's "lil" sister, [pardon the staff] we mean big sister, because she no longer rushes down the halls to escape a pink slip as in freshman days; but instead, walks calmly and in true senior style into class, willing to be late rather than lose the dignity that so characterizes an upper classman.
Bitter Truth: When it comes to dancing she makes the Zeigfield folly girls back numbers.
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.
LOUIS BOOKER
Hi-Y
"Kid 'em along" is Junior's motto. He revels in teasing his teachers. As an appletree bursts into full bloom with the first spring days, so Louis's face bursts into beaming smiles whenever he meets a friend. And "e'en though vanquished, he can argue still."
Bitter Truth: He uses his slide rule to draw straight lines.
MAUDE MCMORRIS
The last one in captivity. She prefers hiking boots to dancing slippers, although we hear she can trip the light fantastic like a professional. This amazing creature is very artistic, athletic and democratic. She likes all kinds of ball-games except the baby kind.
Bitter Truth: She's hard to hold.
