The Class of 1924 was a huge class, as Sayre Schools was growing.
Members of this class were imbued with the idea that an education was worth $27 per diem to the college graduate. Time offered amply opportunity to explode this myth.
Members of the class were: Jay M. Asbury, Vera Castleberry, Fred B. Cornels, Edith Crites, P.J. Devanney, Elbert Creel-vice-president of the class, John Engle, Russell Fisher, Virgil Green-treasurer of the class, Ethel Honshelt, Hubert Johnson, Roy Jones-President of the class, Ruth Johnson-secretary of the class, George Moore, Phillis Miller, John Martin, Ethel Nelson, Charles Oliver, Mary Ann Patten, Selma Pederson, Arlene Roe, George Stovall, Ethel Mae Sears, Iva Thrasher, Raymond Thomas, Ora Mae Whitten, Orval Wilson, Nell Watson, Russell Zeeck, Marie Mabra, Regina Sanders, Lillie Mae Conwell, Doyle Neff, Doris Linville, and Hazel Hutchinson.
Several of these graduates made wonderful careers, including Fred Cornels who became a lawyer. P.J. Devanney served as a doctor for many years in Sayre. Phillis Miller moved to Custer City and was a school teacher. Mary Ann Patten stayed in Sayre and was a stenographer. George Stovall owned the Magnolia Oil Company. Doyle Neff moved to Houston and owned an Insurance Company. Russell Fisher was a civil engineer in Los Angeles. John Engle was the assistant county treasurer. Virgil Green became a minister.
