“The Moose Lodge has prepared an extraordinary program for tonight’s meeting and the officers will urge that all of the members be present, for there will be something doing.

Sunday, October 16, 1955, Sapulpa Sunday Herald: Enrollment in SH School is Problem Now
“Contemplating the added load devolving on South Heights School with the tremendous boost in housing in the area, school officials are desperately seeking a means to handle the population. In the South Heights area, already, the Crowley Heights additions have given a terrific boost to the population and both Gardner ark and Susie Q additions will add still more. Saturday, Gene Reed, developer of the Susie Q addition, and Ralph Stroup, sales agent, invited school officials to an open house in the addition to show them the housing and explain the size of the addition…The two Crowley Heights additions have 132 houses in them. Gardner Park is laid out for 66 and construction is well along on many of them, and Susie Q has 37 with a number already completed. This makes a total of 235 new houses in the South Heights area and places a tremendous school load on the present facilities there. School officials are well aware of it, but the solution is not easy.”
