Hugo High School
Student Reporter Hugo is a tight-knit community. We support each other as we travel to the far regions of the world. We have many young men and women who are proudly serving in the military. Every month we at Hoof Prints would like to focus on one person. We will give their name, rank, location and brief job description. Please feel free to write an encouraging message from home to these dedicated citizens.
This month, our enlisted military Buff is Tyler Cody. He graduated from Hugo High School in 2007 and is now in the Marine Corps as a radio operator. His job is to operate the command center and make sure that his entire group of 2,000 marines have working radios.
Cody has just returned from an eight month tour in Okinawa, Japan and is currently stationed at Camp Pendleton, Calif.
Cody is dedicated to serving our country and we should all be thankful for his service. That is why Tyler Cody is September’s Buff in the Military.
If you would like to send him a letter or a care package, you can contact him at LCPL Tyler Cody, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Division, Camp Pendleton, CA 92053.

This week’s Black & Gold Standard is Dr. Clarice Clash. Clash is currently an assistant principal of curriculum and instruction in one of the largest urban school districts in the nation — Sahuaro High School in Tuscon, Ariz.
Sahuaro High is well-known for its high academic standards and excellence.
Clash supervises counselors, instructional quality and innovation, state and local testing, curricular standards, parent involvement and of course, discipline of students.
Clash graduated from Hugo High in 1989.
“Hugo High School is a special place for me. As a youngster, I learned the three Rs as well as life skills such as endurance, communication, patience and interpersonal skills,” she said.
In high school, Clash spent most of her time being active in student council, Oklahoma Honor Society, 4-H and athletics such as tennis and basketball. Clash also was the Hugo Lady Buffs coach for a year.
“Attending a private university on an athletic/academic scholarship opened my eyes to how competitive the world is outside of Hugo High School,” Clash said. “Once you see the other side, there is no turning back or feeling sorry for yourself.”
Reality set in and she no longer wanted to be a professional tennis player, instead she chose a degree in English education.
Her faith, kids and parents continue to inspire her to reach new heights. When asked about her life, Clash said, “I want to be a great role model for my children and other students. I also want to give back to my parents, who gave me so much.” |

Hugo High School Student Reporters
HUGO — Class of 1951’s Rolin McGuire has been involved with the community a great deal since his graduation. He’s been a member of the Booster Club since the mid ‘60s, back then it was known as the Quarterback Club.
When asked about his high school years McGuire said, “Pep rallies were a favorite because they were downtown.” He also remembers being a starting guard his junior year in both football and basketball. McGuire’s two favorite coaches were basketball Coach Doug Frederick and football Coach Simon Parker. Back then, Hugo only had two coaches, one would coach a sport and the other would be assistant coach and vice versa.
McGuire and other past graduates are known for helping put the buffalo statue up in front of the high school. Roy and Betty Lyles, Johnny Wall and Ralph Jenner were all involved. The classes of 1947-1951 paid for the project, costing them around $3500. After being purchased, Wylie Jenks painted the buffalo for free. McGuire brought his tractor and did the site work. They unloaded the heavy buffalo off the truck and hoisted it onto the slab. It was then drilled into the cement and remains a proud icon for the school and community.
When asked about a new school, McGuire said, “We definitely need a new high school with an auditorium that’s open to the public. I hope this happens sometime soon.”
McGuire believes the citizens of Hugo should not have to leave to look for a job. Citizens should establish more jobs for the town so people won’t leave. McGuire serves on the Industrial Authority and Zoning and Planning Board. It is his goal to help bring more jobs to Hugo and keep the city clean and attractive.
Rolin McGuire is one of the many alumni of Hugo High that take pride in being a Buffalo. McGuire’s advice to Hugo students was, “When you get out of school it’s never the same. You have to join the workforce for the rest of your life, try to enjoy your high school years.”
