My original thought related to a “Jewish presence” in Emerson High School in 1917,
so I looked for locations and histories of synagogues in Oklahoma City

Emanuel Synagogue located at Reno and Dewey streets
was “…at the center of the city’s Jewish community…” in 1917

Temple B’Nai Isreal membership was located at 50 N Broadway Circle was
“by 1925 … over 160 families…overcrowded”

Both synagogues were within 15 minutes walking time of Emerson High School.

[Google Map search for Emerson High School points to Emerson Middle School]

Coincidences ??? Sure, but not impossible
