johnbrooks.jpg (43044 bytes) JOHN BROOKS
John is a great sportsman. But alas, he is also "the most beautiful boy in Tulsa High!" His muscular frame, before which the mightiest foes on the gridiron quailed, has stood in blushing temerity before a "love-lorn" eye.
Bitter Truth: John knows how six boys can consume 250 eskimo pies.
mauricecarter.jpg (50487 bytes) MAURICE CARTER
Enter the collar ad! Maurice is a rival of Al Jolson and a social success in the circles of the most high. His "good looks" has made him the height of many a flapper's ambition. As a junior member of the Carter Brothers firm, he's a "howling success."
Bitter Truth: He has that grin that won't wash off.
marygerman.jpg (35581 bytes) MARY ELIZABETH GERMAN
No nicknames for this dignified young lady. Mary Elizabeth has lived in the limelight so long she is one of the pillars of T. H. S., and even the freshmen know her. As a personification of efficiency she takes first place.
Bitter Truth: She has only one waterloo so far--Virgil.
mariegwinn.jpg (33448 bytes) GUINN, MARIE   [Also spelled Gwinn]
The mischievous lady whose eyes bewitch unsuspecting knights. Marie knows how to vamp in such a modest way as to fool even the most immune to feminine wiles. Dramatics plays an important part in her career. Steak fries are her hobbies.
Bitter Truth: She loves to break hearts, but the goblins will get her if she doesn't watch out.
mildredmaxey.jpg (28944 bytes) MILDRED MAXEY
Mildred, as Freshman president, started this class out on the right track. She has what few people possess: natural dramatic ability. Who can forget her as Lady Macbeth or her dramatic appeal for the T-Club Hot Dog? There is no give-up in Mildred's nature.
Bitter Truth: She is a wicked, wicked vamp--on the stage.
evaedgett.jpg (27872 bytes) EVA EDGETT
Eva is one of our shining musical stars--from a voice in Glee to the gleeful cry of "peanuts" and "hotdogs." This enthusiastic work in the T-Club has made her one of the most prominent figures on the football field.
Bitter Truth: She composes never-to-be-forgotten melodies--with her eyes.
budbrandberry.jpg (26672 bytes) BUD BRANDBERRY [Editor's note; Also spelled Brandeberry]
Bud is one novice who looks beyond his years. He believes in results, not cause. He thinks that the future is more important than the formalistic book knowledge of the present, and his original remarks keep us on edge. His chief hobby is running from publicity.
Bitter Truth: Bud is just a tender young "bud."
marieschmuck.jpg (35534 bytes) MARIE SCHMUCK
Marie and Evelyn Hood are the original Siamese twins who invented the famous Ham sandwich and Ice Cream lunch. A dry wit, the hardest to soak in, is one of the best things about Marie. She takes to water but thinks sleeping the best remedy for classes.
Bitter Truth: She believes that in union there is strength.
williamfleetwood.jpg (29031 bytes) WILLIAM FLEETWOOD
His teachers call him William and every one says "William who?" Bill reminds us of a giraffe. Why? Look at his legs and neck, "how's the weather up there, Bill?" His student activity card looks like a cross-word puzzle with all the squares filled out. He is quite a B17 celebrity. Some one please notify David Belasco.
Bitter Truth: His waves make you seasick

HELEN GUNSTEN
Brown-eyed Helen Gunsten is going to be an English teacher and will spend next year at either Oklahoma or Tulsa University. She came from Illinois, has been in Tulsa High four years, and swimming is her hobby. Helen has a voice more enchanting than a mocking bird's.
Bitter Truth: She had rather take a high dive than go to a show.
sammarkowitz.jpg (36549 bytes) SAM MARKOWITZ [Editor's note; Also spelled Markovitz]
Orchestra, T-Club.
Sam is fat and proud of it. His varied talents have been displayed in tickling the fiddle in the orchestra, in public speaking, and in wrestling. Sam is especially fond of either a good joke or a good meal. One of his main hobbies is impersonating funny or peculiar people he meets day by day and he makes a good job of it, too.
Bitter Truth: Sam's voice entitles him to rank as a rival of "Foghorn Clancy."

REAGAN, ANNA
Girl Reserves, T-Club, Honor Society.Anna is so sweet that chemically she is C6 H12 O6, 6 parts of charm, 12 of helpfulness and 6 of optimism. Add up all these qualities and you have a mighty good pal and a girl worth knowing.
Bitter Truth: She's perfectly harmless until you call her "Annie Reagan" and then--.
jamesburhans.jpg (37393 bytes) JAMES BURHANS
Football and baseball makes Jim lord of all. "Society" is Jimmie's favorite food but between meals he manages to master the gridiron. He presides over the athletic Association and tells 'em what's what. He was "Beautiful Brooks' " contest manager.
Bitter Truth: Front Row seat at the Broadway
margarethayden.jpg (37132 bytes) MARGARET HAYDEN
Girl Reserves.
Casual acquaintances suspect Margaret of lacking the usual feminine gift of gab, but her friends know that is the gaff. The only times she dislikes talking are oral composition days. She declares that she condemns study, but her grade-card seems to reach the top.
Bitter Truth: She fears locker robbers, so she carries the contents with her.
