For our older alumni, the CHS Fight Song brings back fond memories. Raynelle Teeter remembers an active Pep Club where members all wore uniforms (blue wool pleated skirts and white shirts) and sat together at games. They would do all the cheers with the cheerleaders and sing the Fight Song after every touchdown, in the 60’s. The Cyril Historical Society helped us get some information through their Facebook page, that you can view at cyrilokhistoricalsociety. Within 10 hours, had over 40 replies with info & memories of it. According to Sharon Scoggins & Wilma Hiner, the CHS Fight Song was written in 1949 by two students from the Class of 1954, Carl Mahan with help from Ronald Madison. Cyril’s music teacher, Mrs. Bates told her class that they needed to write a school song and so they did! Most of the kids from the 90’s and all the way to the HS kids now, aren’t even aware that Cyril has a Fight Song. Somehow it escaped our generation, other than the few people like Teri (Carlson) Williams & Tia (Schneberger) Martin who followed in their mom/aunt’s footsteps as Cheerleaders for CHS. Cheryl (Schneberger) Carlson, was so proud to be a Cyril Pirate and especially proud to be a Cheerleader and she made sure that her daughter & niece knew that Fight Song! Now, thanks to Mrs. Becky Thompson teaching her students every year, the Fight Song is one more tradition that the younger generation of Cyril Pirates won’t lose! When researching info on the Fight Song in 2017, Mrs. Gray asked the kids in her grade school classes if they knew what a fight song was and showed the lyrics on her screen. To her surprise, the entire 5th grade class started singing it and said Mrs. Thompson taught them. With the help of social media & an active Historical Society, hopefully this is one tradition will not be lost in the pages of history!

Julie “Moser” Poteete says that Cyril’s first softball team was in the fall of 1975 and they made it to state. There was only one class at that time so they had to play Putnam City West! Needless to say, they win but they did their best to represent!

Softball Last year Jaycee Shaffer hit a homerun at Roff, over their big wall in centerfield and we don’t think it’s landed yet! There have been 12 All-State qualifiers. During the 2021 season, the Lady Pirates started out ranked 18th and finished #2 as State Runner-Ups! Their motto that year was “Nothing to Lose something to PROVE!” State Runner-Ups in in 2016 & 2021

Lester Robert Bland “Ope” was a 1999 graduate from Cyril, Oklahoma who played in the 1998, 9-2 Pirate Football team that got beat by the state champions 82-80 in the state playoffs. Ope was a huge part of the success of that dominate team playing linebacker and tight end. Ope lived his life like he did on the football field. He gave everything he had, had fun while doing it, but more importantly he played for the brotherhood of his teammates more than the scoreboard.

Ever wonder how we became the
“What’s Next…memoirs of a 20th century woman” In it, she shares what life was like growing up in Cyril in the early 1900’s. In it, she talks about being a student at Cyril High School. I can’t verify any of these details but according to her, this is how Cyril became the Pirates!
In June 1995, at the age of 72, Mildred “Billie” Ikard Bourgeois wrote her autobiography
“One must stretch the imagination to explain why kids in a little oil town on the Great Plains chose sea going thieves as a symbol. Let me confess that I influenced the choice. An avid reader, I was into the adventures of the main and fancied our ferocious will to win as much like the pirates in boarding a merchant ship and stealing the treasure aboard. Besides, that wicked man in a big black hat with a knife between his teeth did appear more threatening than any other logo in the athletic catalog. We felt we were more formidable than the usual mascot names like Bears, Tigers and Wolves. we were!”
