SAVOY LOTTINVILLE Tom Tom. Savoy's the cleverest, quickest, hardest-hitting history shark that ever exhausted the department. He has another stomping ground in chemistry, and his intention is to gain a throughly symmetrical education, and to cap a civic career with the state governorship. Bitter Truth: He's so serious the grand canyon is nothing but a wide crack to him. |
 |
DONALD CALVIN Tom Tom. Don is largely responsible for the art work of this Tom Tom. Without his enormous amount of work Don gave to the book this year, it could not have been a success. He is known as a mighty dependable fellow and a talented artist. Bitter Truth: He, his Ford, and Ben are inseparables through thick and thin. |
 |
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. |
 |
CHARLOTTE ELLISON Extra! Extra! Beauty has been found to be more than skin deep. Oklahoma vied with Burbank in producing a perfect peach. Charlotte may be a peach but she works like a squirrel in a peanut wagon. She is studious, is an actress, dancer, would-be cook and a fashion plate rolled into one. Bitter Truth: When she's "sun-kist" the boys turn green with envy. |
 |
GERALD BILYEU Tom Tom. "See yersilf as ithers see you," by this noted cartoonist, Gerald the artistic. He has ample opportunity to practice his art while standing in the corner [dere teacher's orders]. Not even the strenuous games of the gym floor can alter the geometric precision of the dividing line in his locks. Bitter Truth: He hasn't found her yet. |
 |
KENNETH KNEPPER T-Club, Athletic Association, Band. Toot, toot, toot. That's either Kenneth's Ford or his cornet, it's hard to tell which. Kenneth is just another one of those woman-haters who fell hard of late. He started out with a bottle of hair oil, and now he's become a dyed-in-the-wool sheik. Bitter Truth: He wears suspenders. |
 |
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. |
 |
MEXA TAYLOR Booster Club, T-Club, Tom Tom, Girl Reserves. "Our little dream girl," we call her. She dances, sings divinely, spreads a smooth line of putty, yet manages to study and knock down good grades too. Then, oh, so may countless accomplishments add to the charm of this young lady. We wish her luck with her tea room. Bitter Truth: Oh, those hiking trousers! |
 |
WILLIAM MCCLAREN T-Club, Booster Club, Boys' Glee. "Have your map drawn. Famous artist will sketch your likeness for only a nickel, a half a dime!" How many of us have lost those cartoons Bill drew of us at the Tom Tom Karnival? His favorite song is "My Pencil and Me." Bitter Truth: Bill isn't really fickle--he just likes variety. |
 |
VERNON LICH Tulsa High School's happy-go-lucky friend of everybody. With a fine physique as an aid, Vernon has participated in all athletics, making his letter in wrestling this year and having filled an important track position for several seasons. Once he was a glee club warbler. Bitter Truth: We don't know any. Ask Mexa Taylor. |
 |
OPAL BROWN T. N. T. That girls should prepare themselves for something useful as well as ornamental is her belief. For that end, she is testing her ability at the teacher's desk. She has a vivid imagination which causes her distress after a romantic play or movie has been fed her, for she always lives over the life of the heroine. Bitter Truth: Love's Labour is lost with Opal so far as seniors are concerned. She likes sophomore boys. |
 |
NORMAN DRAKE Senate, T-Club, Honor Soc. Dramatics. Norman has been a little of everything in Tulsa High. He drew down the lead in "The Copperhead" the biggest tragedy play of the year. He is contemplating going to West Point. He is an exceptionally good mixer who has always been a leader in the social life of the school. Bitter Truth: He blushes like a girl in her "teens." |
 |
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. |
 |
MARGARET CONRY There are so many chances to praise this attractive miss, that we hardly know where to start, but there is no doubt that she is a little "kitten on the keys." There are some who faintly recall the time she studied in homeroom, so you see she does indulge in that pastime once in a while. Bitter Truth: She throws a line that would put Cleopatra in the shade. |
