BETTY KREBS
"Girls with curls go passing by, dainty, graceful, bold, and shy,
But the one that takes my eye is Betty."---Robert Lewis
Fun personified--witty even in Physics II under Professor Schupbach. She's little in stature, but makes up for it in noise.
Bitter Truth: "She wears no man's collar."
EUGENE MINSHALL
We call him "Buzzy," though a more appropriate name would be Fuzzy, for his hair is powerfully curly. [Even this word is too conservative.] Buzzy's chief accomplishments are dating other fellows' girls and working problems in the Physics II class.
Bitter Truth: He loves the ladies--also a conservative statement.
LILLIAN SLUTZKY
Debate, Tom Tom, School Life.
Along life's way we find many good pals but none more faithful than Lillian. She has made her mark as a writer, orator, debater, and in various departments of journalism. She likes to go to shows and plays and her hobby is sewing and knitting.
Bitter Truth: Lillian likes boys who can debate.
JENNIE STEKOLL
We behold Mutt and Jeff approaching, alias, Jennie and Clare, the inseparable. With a distinctive foreign air, patterned after Rosa Raisa, she may some day become the noted prima donna's accompanist. The way she dodges around in her Dodge it's a miracle she escapes the 'orspital.
Bitter Truth: Look in the sweetheart section.
MILDRED GREENE
"Red is her hair, Greene is her name, but, gee, we all like her just the same," sang the little boy as he sauntered down B Beside Mildred. She belongs to the genus flapperitis, although she can sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam. Her pet hobby is spending coin, and we hear she has become quite skillful at this art. [?]
Bitter Truth: She wants to know why black-berries are green when they are red.
FLOYD CUMMINGS
Honor Society, Glee Club, T-Club, Booster Club, Football, Basketball, Secretary Senior Class.
Out of the deep, deep voices in the glee club come the music like that of the rocking billows. Floyd's music box is at the bottom of these. He made an excellent record in Tulsa high school as an athlete, student and friend. "Bo" has recently won a scholarship to the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Bitter Truth: He's in love.
GLENN ALDERMAN
A better baseball player than the immortal Jack Keefe, and about as well known. Glen has been the mainstay of the baseball nine for two years. Though he entered from Emerson four years ago as "skairt and green" as the rest of the class, behold, in this short period, our alma mater has molded a man.
Bitter Truth: When it comes to walking, he's "too tired."
MARCELLA SHAW
A great spirit attraction, no wonder so many boys are to be seen hanging around. Marcella knows how to use her with to the best advantage in any situation, whether it be showing someone where to get off, or bluffing and English teacher. Marcella's wardrove resembles that of Solomon's wives--all of them.
Bitter Truth: She belongs to the Archeozoic period. Oh, pshaw.
LUCILE OZBUN
Tom Tom, Art staff, Life Saver.
If Lucile doesn't make use of her string of Home economics credits very soon her commercial course will be her salvation. Then, too, she can always turn artist.
Bitter Truth: She has an iron jaw--also the characteristic that usually accompanies one.
ELIZABETH SHAW
Newcomers are numerous this year, but we like Elizabeth especially. She comes from Pittsburg high and her main interest in life is athletics. Cambridge, Mass. is her goal, as she intends to follow the steps of Miss Carlson.
Bitter Truth: Her favorite sport is chasing dates on the Sandwich Islands.
PAUL SMITH
Here's another Smith for you. This one is from Joplin, Missouri, and has been in Tulsa High one year. Paul is going to make a draughtsman. He will probably spend next year in college at Springfield, Missouri. He swims, boxes and wrestles.
Bitter Truth: He knows Paul.
EDDIE JOHNSON
Eddie is the model which all ingenues-in-the-making imitate. She saunters down the hall with an aristocratic air all her own, and has so many clothes it looks suspicious. Any T. H. S. boy who forgets his identity should consult Eddie--she knows 'em all.
Bitter Truth: her name used to be Edna.
FLOY BRIGHT
T-Club, Hi Glee,
"Smell the hair tonic--ain't it grand, and so penetrating." This is the remark heard just before our Bright boy makes an entrance. Floy has one of them there tenner voices--but he sings bass. And the contrast has obtained for him the presidency of the Boys' Glee Club.
Bitter Truth: He likes the Crerie brand best.
THELMA SCHEIG
During the last year Thelma has learned to love T. H. S. [There's a reason]. Her locker at the end of B corridor is as popular a hangout as jelly-bean center. She intends to be somebody's stenographer after she finishes school, if she can get a job. As she says, she's not much for work.
Bitter Truth: Thelma sets a record for long dresses.
