Graduating Class of 1925

14 Students from Page 58 of the Tom Tom Year Book for Tulsa Central High School, Graduating Class of 1925. Surnames on this page: Finley, Streater, Hendrix, Jones, Burgess, Malroney, Scott, Venus, Silsby, Warnock, Dixon, Guthrie, Miller, Godfrey

VIRGINIA FINLEY
Virginia entered from Fort Worth high school. She claimed it to be a good school, but, then as Columbus said "class will tell" [I wonder if he meant our class]. She likes English and is now in her fourth year of the subject.
Bitter Truth: She secretly admires jazz bowties.

HAROLD STREATER [Editor’s note; Also spelled Streator]
T-Club, Band.
Take Harold when the lights are bad and his hair will furnish enough light to get home on. He plays in the band so he will be able to drum up business in the future. Football and basketball games are hot and fiery when Harold's head is on the field.
Bitter Truth: He mixes Psychology and Commercial Law.

ELIZABETH HENDRIX
Some folks seem to speed through life on whirring wings. Elizabeth takes only three years to graduate. She must work like a Trojan to keep all those notes in two history courses.
Bitter Truth She may act like a lady, but she likes to ride on shoot-to-shoots.

IDA JONES
Ida is one of the Four-Hundred--who take history--it's compulsory of course. That public speaking course she shouts should help out bluffing in geology. Ida makes a keen pal, and if you like to swim she's right there.
Bitter Truth: Geologically speaking, she's no fossel.

ALLEN BURGESS
Allen is working in the high school bank in preparation for a future career as a banker. He expects to attend college and will select either Tulsa or Oklahoma University for next year. Allen is one of our old-timers in Tulsa High.
Bitter Truth: He juggles our shekels.

ED MALRONEY
Bugs and rocks, what a combination for a common sense boy. He must be preparing for married life. With Mr. Beck and Mr. Bolyard for advisors he ought to steer clear of all disasters.
Bitter Truth: Of all the King by Edwards, Ed resembles NONE.

GERALD SCOTT
A unique slicker, Bah Jove! Although not playing on the baseball team, he certainly makes a hit with the smart set. Gerald pitches a cute line and catches wonderful dates. In all, he's a sure home run.
Bitter Truth: He drives a Peerless.

JONTIE VENUS
Debate, Girl Reserves.
Chemistry, writing, debating--ye gods, she's a lady of many and diversified accomplishments. She reminds you of a wren when she talks, guess why. And when she debates she reminds you of a steam shovel in action, literally lifting the other argument out of the way.
Bitter Truth: To College through soapsuds and gold dust.

FRANK SILSBY
Frank is known about the "wilds" of B17 as Mr. Alhambra, but we don't care, he's a good fellow. The lad is starting out well, he is taking dramatics to learn all the ins and outs of the game. Then too, he plays a cornet so during the intermissions he could help in the orchestra. No doubt about it, he's a theatrical manager.
Bitter Truth: He thinks Barnum was right.

JACK WARNOCK
Jack has been with us but a short time, but he has managed to get acquainted in our village. Before coming to Tulsa High he attended high school in Hutchinson, Kansas. He takes social problems, we know he'd be a lion on etiquette.
Bitter Truth: Even the office staff know him.

HORACE DIXON
Teacher: "Here comes the lagging schoolboy with his shining morning face;" Class in unison: "Horace Dixon." "Ox" has the suave manners of an English duke, and like him, always has his foot in it, "doncha know." He has that mysterious air, the most subtle of charms; villains of melodrama, please note.
Bitter Truth: He uses shinola on his hair.

OPAL GUTHRIE
Opal likes to study the psychology of the human mind. Perhaps she intends to use it later. Her jolly, carefree nature and pleasant smile have won her many friends. "Still water runs deep"--watch Opal.
Bitter Truth: She came from Ponca City--we don't blame her.

ORVILLE MILLER
Some boys, like most girls, lead frivolous lives, but Orville seems to be preparing himself for a real career. He is following the custom of direct success on the throne of architects. His father hands down the crown to his son who is taking three courses in carpentry.
Bitter Truth: He is a direct descendant of Washington--School

MARY A. GODFREY
Girl Reserves, School Life.
Mary holds the senior title for a friendly smile as may be seen in her picture on page 134. We wanted you to know about Mary even if you couldn't see her picture, which was unavoidably lost. Her cordial manner is one of the qualities that have helped her lead the Girl Reserves through a very successful year.
Bitter Truth: She is the Copperhead's only rival.
