Mitchell The development of Central State Teachers College, under the supervision of President _ Mitchell has been very rapid. The high standing of Central and the improvements in the system here are results of his work. The President's Slogan: Asquiscence to Authority, Obedience to law, Respect for others, Mastery of self, and Joy in service should be the slogan of every school and College in the United States. For his active part in the success of this College we thank President Mitchell and sincere- ly hope the same administration and good work may continue. eocwee ec e « a 5- Co i ee Sa BLTHE 1926 BRONZE BOOK |F — Heads of The Departments TRAINING SCHOOL The home of the Training School is historic “Old North Hall”. Here is furnished a typical erade and high school situation, where demonstra- tion work and practice teaching are carried on. The aim is to set a high standard of attainmeni for the pupils; and to arouse an attitude of alert- ness, interest and enthusiasm on the part of the teachers in training. The Training School also serves as a labor- atory for the department of Education. Classes in educational measures, methods and applied psychology make use of the rooms for studying ) educational problems in the concrete. j Central is looking forward to a much needed expansion of the Training School, which will be i possible with the completion of new class-rooms in the Administration building and the transfer of college classes from Old North Hall to these rooms. Photo by Watton Fred McCarrel, A. B., A. M. History DEPARTMENT The Department of History has grown to be one of the largest in Central. Believing that the history of past civilizations is of value to the student of the present, the instructors in this Department feel that a good foundation for fu- ture study and practical application should be made. We desire to make history and government real, to instill into students the fundamental principles underlying the social and economic problems which they must teach and will meet in every day life. Besides the required courses offered, many new electives are added each term. Some re- search work is done and current topics are stress- ed. We have a museum which contains many rare and valuable bits of material and information which could not be found elsewhere. Much stress is placed on United States government and Oklahoma government, since the students of to- day are the citizens of tomorrow. Photo by Watton A. Emma Estill, A. B. M. A. twenty-six 2 1926 BRONZ Ee NZE BOOK— | Ik COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department is no longer considered a novelty but is attracting an earnest group of students who realize that it combines an opportunity for emp'oyment while in college 1} 2 with a preparation for teaching in a field not 5 | yet overcrowded. But the utilization value is not the only one enjoyed. There is a distinctly cultura! element al- though in the past it has been se!dom recognized. Hd} The mastery of typewriting, for instance, necessi- Hal tates the exercise of the virtues of perseverance | and accuracy. Judgment is called into play in deciding upon the most attractive arrangement b| for a given copy. Each of the subjects offered in the department has many cultural aspects and a conscientious student will find himself reward- ed not only in a material way but also in an ‘| increased ability to master other problems. | ATHLETICS Photo by Watton Dorothy Fry, A. B. Physical Education is one of the oldest De- partments in the history of our Education. A l- } i} though the ancient Greeks seemed to have real- ized its value more, and ceniered their entire “1 education around it, the early American Institu- tions gave it little recognition. Of recent years, : however, no school is. complete without an active ; and serviceabie Physical Education Department. 1} |] Central State Teachers College has complete courses of training for women and men. More } stress is put on playing of games, as it is felt | ; that this development is moral as well as physi- cal. An opportunity is offered to all students to 1} learn the major College sports, and the most use- } ful Plays and Games for the school ground. The most interesting phase of the Woman’s loll Department is the Woman’s Athletic Association. Through competition in many sports, about twenty girls are granted sweaters each year. Although no Intercollegiate games are played, in- terest is very high and a great many girls bene- fit by this play. The men of Central represent the school in Intercollegiate Competition in football, basket- ball, wrestling, track and tennis. About fifty boys earn their letter in these sports each year, and about one hundred others tryout for the teams. These teams have won more Champion- ships in the last few years than any other Con- ference Member. Photo by Watton if | Charles W. Wantland, A. B.

M. twenty-eight = fe4LTHE 1926 BRONZE BOOK — | oe Ss Heads of The Departments MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT The Mathematics Department of Central State Teachers College, once occupying only a minor place in the curriculum, has attained a position of major importance on every schedule. The primary purpose of this department is to provide sufficient training for young men and women who wish to become instructors in this branch in high schools over the state or to equip them with a sound basis for higher mathematical training in Universities. Another aim for téach- ing this science is because of its importance in the other sciences. A noted educator said, “A science is exact only in so far as it employs mathe- matics.” Physics and astronomy are the most exact sciences but chemistry, geology, economics and physiology all use it in solving their prob- lems. Thirty-nine semester hours of mathematics are offered by this department, making it possi- ble for a student of Central to do his major work in this science. Music DEPARTMENT The purpose of the Music Department is two- fold; first, to prepare those going out to teach to meet the demands of supervisors and boards of education along musical lines in both the gerade and high schools throughout the state; sec- ond, to deepen in those who do not intend to teach their appreciation for music that is really worth while. Three kinds of certificates may be obtained: a life certificate, a five year state certificate, or a temporary certificate for one year. There is a marked increase in the number of certificates be- ing granted this year. Besides the theory courses such as public school music, harmony, appreciation and _ history, students may obtain private lessons in piano, voice, and violin for which work credit in the college may be received. The organizations in the Music Department are very active in the entertainment life of the school. Opportunity is given to students to enter these organizations through tryouts. Ee THE 192G BRONZE BOOK cS o- ss Heads of The Departments EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Since sound practice in any field of human endeavor must rest on sound and proved prin- ciples of action, the department of education is continuing its allegiance to these principles in educational matters. New principles are not finally approved until their validity has been tested out in class-room practice. Practice teach- ing in our Training School and observation in both the Training School and the public schools serve as laboratory practice for the department. The department has added a few new fea- tures during the past year. A junior high school for observation and practice teaching has been added and a full time Rural Education man has been added to the regular faculty. It is prob- ably not presumptuous to say that the department is now better able to serve the educational needs of the state than it has ever been in its history. HoME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT To instill into the minds of the girls a higher ideal of the profession of Home Making has been the aim of the Home Economics Depa:tment. To meet the increasing demand for training for work, which a large per cent of the girls will engage in, has been of later years more and more imperative. Since the girl spends much of her time in the school room from six to eighteen years, that is where the training must be. The department especially tries to emphasize the relation of the home to the community and the necessity for good homes before we have good citizens. The need of and opportunity for the development of the beautiful in relation to all the phases of home making is strongly empha- sized. The mechanical side of the work is taught so that the endless duties of the housewife may be lessened. Seven degrees in Home Economics were granted last year with an increase this year. Be- sides the degrees there were a numbr of Home Economics certificates issued. All of which tends to show that the girl of today i s just as interested in the home as was the girl of any other generation. Olive Thomas, B.

Chemistry and biology are rapidly gaining in popularity with the student body at Central. The outstanding problem of the Department this past year has been to get an adequate instruction staff to handle the numerous students who de- mand work of this nature. The classes are crowded to the limit and many more students could be easily had for the Department were it possible to offer more classes in these subjects. This growth has been brought about by sev- eral causes. There is an increasing demand on the part of students all over the country for more training in science. The demands on the part of the public that the schools take a leading part in health conservation have made courses in phys- iology and hygiene necessary for the successful teacher. Bionomics, which is a course in human biology, has been required for graduation in an attempt to awaken public interest and conscience in human betterment. These factors, coupled with an insistent demand for better trained science teachers, account for the Department’s growth.

Most of these courses offer some opportunity for study; but some of them are easier than others. The easy ' ones are ordinarily the most popular. Several of these courses are courses in English composi- q tion. These courses are for those who desire to 6 acquire a satisfactory personal English. In these courses the student does the work and gets the benefit. The courses in Literature are different. I Those who look for snap courses are most eager ) to take courses in Literature. Courses in gram- mar and composition are called “practical”. The 9 teachers of English urge you to take these prac- tical courses. Also, the teachers of English urge N you to watch your English in all other classes q and on all other occasions, always. It takes a considerable time to win a good speaking and writing English—usually from five to fifty years. Photo by Watton Francis Coram Oakes, A. B., M. A.

One type is symbolical minded and these find pleasure in expressing themselves in the abstract. Another class is the so-called motor minded and prefer to express themselves in some concrete way. These people find that the Industrial Arts Department is an ideal place to express them- selves. If they are of artistic temperament they can find a field that is unlimited as to the man- ner of expressing their ideas. If, as some do, they have a creative instinct, there is no place in the entire school curriculum that they can find as much opportunity to express their ideas. In mechanical drawing there is a chance for expression in both the concrete and abstract. It goes wit hout saying that the whole department is a practical and useful department in which are taught any number of useful types of work. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture offers courses in general High School Agriculture, Animal Hus- bandry, Agronomy, Dairying, Poultry, Soils, Fer- tilizers, Farm Management, Landscape Garden- ing, Vegetable Gardening and other phase: of the subject. The number of students taking the work at any one time during the regular year i3 between two hundred and two hundred twenty- five. During the summer term this number is about doubled. This school is fortunate in having a large demonstration farm within walking distance ot the class room, which the students in agriculture visit to study farm machinery, field crops, ter racing, barn structure, dairy management, poul- try raising, farm layout, soil conservation and fertility, and general farm management. While the emphasis is still placed upon human culture and the development of the individual, neverthe- less, there is abundant opportunity for the study of the practical in this Department.

Special genius is not required, but a determined effort is necessary for sucecss. “Labor omina vincit’—sums up the whole proposition. The increased demand for well prepared lan- guage teachers in the state, and the requirement of two years foreign language for the A. B. de- eree continue to keep the classes well filled. Furthermore, the requirement of at least two years in the same language, if the work is to be counted toward graduation, is certain to be uni- versally adopted in Oklahoma colleges in the near future. The Spanish classes have been so large this year that the service of another teacher for three classes have been required. Interest in French is graually increasing. Latin continues about on an even keel with a slight increase. co oo coco Oo om Photo by Watton Otto Jeffries, A. B., Ph. D. THE LIBRARY “The place that does contain My books, the best of companions, is to me A glorious court, where hourly I converse With the old sages and philosophers; And sometimes, for variety, I confer With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels.” The Library is an integral part of Central Staie Teachers College. It contains about 18,- 000 volumes of carefully selected books, pam- phlets, and bound periodicals, including a wealth of material on education and_ teaching. Al- though it is essentially a reference library, stu- dents are encouraged to learn the use of books as a means of recreation, amusement and inspira- tion, and to cultivate a taste for good reading. The juvenile library provides for the children in the training school and serves as a model for students who intend to become teachers.

Central, always a pioneer, was among the 0 first in Oklahoma to feel the need for extra- 1d 1} mural work among teachers. With increased de- 1d | mand, the Department has grown enormously in 14] the last few years. 1, |] During the past year this Department enrolled | || 912 Corresponence students and 659 Extension 11} students. New courses are now being offered in i Primary and Rural Education and Commercial work. i This work is especially helpful to students living in towns and communities where accredit- I} ed high schools have not been established and 1 to grammar and high school teachers who can not avail themselves of residence work. i ; Photo by Watton | | | Wee Scot bss: REGISTRAR The student may choose his course and his | instructors, but no student can complete a course 1 ) in Central without coming in contact with the | Registry Department. It matters not how much 19 a student may do, or how efficient he may be- | come, it avails him little unless there is an ac- 191] curate record of his work kept. Accurate records ly | of all the work done in Central, since the found- ing of the school in 1891, are kept in fire proof vaults. This office keeps the students informed of the requirements for the different certificates and degrees, and assists them in selecting — their courses to meet these requirements. Students should feel free at any time to consult the Registrar concerning their courses. Photo by Watton Ny WeeeDovwe- So wy thirty-three 2G BRONZE BOOK Puysics DEPARTMENT The Physics Department of Central State Teachers College has made a very decided growth in the last few years. There are at pres- ent seventy-five students taking some course in physics, in the College Department. The first year the school was made a College there were only five students enrolled in this work. There are several reasons that account for this rapid growth. In the first place the en- rollment in the College has materially increased. In the second place some physical science is re- quired for a degree. In the third place many students come here to do their pre-medic work to avoid the large classes in the larger colleges and universities. In the fourth place there is a grow- ing interest all over the world in all kinds of scientific work especially in physics and chem- istry. Lastly, there is a great demand for train- ed science teachers in the public and high schools of the State. Photo by Watton Ernest Howell. A. B. ART DEPARTMENT “The true purpose of Art of Teaching is the education of the whole people for appreciation.” The art course has two distinct aims. It must take the student’s instinctive creative im- pulse for self-expression and convert it into dis- crimination, refinement, and taste. At the same time it must give such technical training as will secure the student varied experiences. that later will be useful in whatever field of Art his life work shall develop. The courses are planned for a_ progressive growth in appreciation and power of expression, developing freedom and skill in drawing, paint- ing. modelling and construction. The work is in- tended to be primarily an exercise of the mind, aiming for power rather than superficially pleas- ing result. The courses include: Design, Draw- ing and painting from nature, cast and life draw- ing, landscape composition in charcoal and oil, History of Art, History of American Painting, and History of American Sculpture.

Q Central State Teachers College has recently added a new department—Rural Education and Community Activities—so as to do her part in the forward movement launched and directed by the State Department of Education for better rural schools in our great commonwealth. The head of this department will give half of his time during the regular school year to teaching classes at the college. The other half of his time will be at the service of the County Superintendents of ’ the fourteen counties in Central’s territory to assist them in establishing Model Schools in accord- | ance with the Score Card of the State Department of Education, and to assist them in promoting Q consolidation where practicable, and where impracticable to lend a hand in making the one- lo teacher rural school the best school it is possible to make it with a teacher adequately prepared. Rural dramas as “Back to the Farm”, “Kindling the Hearth Fires”, “As the Twig is Bent”, ’ and such patriotic pageants as “The Patriot of Mount Vernon”, “The Continental Congress”, 14 “To Arms for Liberty”, and “The Building of the Nation”, would put the rural people in possess- a ion of all the rich heritage of the race. } thirty-five =f.

He was the greatest all-round track athlete of the Southwest. Frank won fifth place in the National Decathlon meet held in San Francisco July 4, 1925. His best records in these ten events are: 100 yard dash, 10.1 seconds; high hurdles, 16 seconds: shot put, 45.2 feet; discuss, 125 feet; 440 yard dash, 50.8 seconds; high jump, 5 feet 10 inches; javelin throw, 131 feet; pole vault, 8 feet; broad jump. 22 feet 6 inches; mile run, 5 minutes, 10 seconds. Frank’s ambition was to make the Olympic Team of 1928. For this honor he was constantly training and working. He had already put the shot, his favorite event, over 47 feet, and the week before his death he put it 45.2 feet, which distance stands as the official school record. Frank was a good student as well as a good athlete. In 1925 he won the Wantland medal. Frank was 23 years, 6 months and 14 days old. He will be long re- membered as a fine, clean, outstanding athlete and his untimely death is mourned by his many friends. The athletic officials have placed his last pair of track shoes in the trophy museum in his memory. seventy-five Chapei Lecturers t | WEDNESDAYS 10:10 A.

There was great rejoicing, not only in Edmond, but all over the state, when the 10th Legis- lature of the State of Oklahoma, meeting in regular session in Oklahoma City in the spring of 1925, passed the Institutional Appropriation Bill No. 277, which provided for an appropriation of $150,000 to be used in the buying of ground and the construction of a new auditorium for Central State Teachers’ College. After the bill was approved by Governor M. E. Trapp, on April 10, the contract was drawn up and let by the State Board of Affairs to the Holmboe Construction Company of Oklahoma City. The architect for the new building was Jewell Hicks of the firm Layton, Hicks and Forsythe of Oklahoma City. Constructiom started soon after the contract was let and proceeded as rapidly as weather conditions would permit. On the evening of September 11, 1925, the ceremony of the laying of the cornerstone was held under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma A. F. and A. M. Rev. John R. Abernathy, of the Methodist Church of Chickasha, Oklahoma, Hon. Carl L. Rice, Chairman, State Board of Affairs, and Hon. M. A. Nash, celivere’ brief addresses which were followed by impressive Masonic ceremonies of the Laying of the Cornerstone. The building, modeled to some extent after the Shrine Auditorium in Oklahoma City, has a seating capacity of 2,000. Three double-doors and two single doors serve as front entrances to the lobby. From the lobby there are two stairways, one on either side leading to the balcony. Because of the steel supports there are no columns either above or below the balcony to obstruct the view from any seat on either floor. The building is ventilated by automatic devices. The size and beauty of the stage add greatly to the success of any play or operetta. The width of the stage from wall to wall is 62 feet 10 inches; depth, 25 feet 5 inches. The height of the lower side of the gridiron from stage to floor is 46 feet. The distance of the fly galleries from stage floor is 10 feet. The width of the proscenium arch is 40 feet; depth, 22 feet. The curtains, valanced borders, grand drapery border, tormentor wings, cyclorama borders and grand drapery are of blue sun-fast velour trimmed in gold bullion fringe and metallic braid. The valance is box-plaited with a gold monogram of C. S. T. C. in a gold wreath. The painted scenery consists of one woodlawn curtain, a garden scene, a horizon scene, an indoor scene, and three leg drops to “match the woodlawn and garden scenes. There is also one ground cloth reversible green. and brown. There are three border lights and three rosy-colored footlights. The fireplace and French door with three panels add to the beauty of the stage. The eae prepared by the Kansas City Scenic Company and was painted by the best artists obtainable. one hundred thirty-six [THE 192G BRONZE B00K— |e SS 4 6 b i) b i) 6 0 Feature Section ANONGCS {Prize { Home-comin da drade Shakespeares $§ ee Sahn ate ‘ at } Ue uy yi 4 Hh hal t ede pnt . ee ey “ryt pvr : DVL ALE SRS beet ad el Seniors az Gy ace “pst prize et Triumvirate Bed 5 Yaa Fame the nd. a old — he 6: ew nu The AK nit ny n beg + w = old Summer t Centrals Pep ome — coming lOnS— IOV iter r- ng Glib rownin l MB « Ps. eae Ni atures Miracle. Views about the Campus [THE 192G BRONZE BOOK |e sss | Central Alumni Association In 1921 the Alumni of Central formed themselves into an organization whereby there might be unity and cooperation of all the graduates. The first secretary was Mr. Fletcher Davis who started the work off in excellent shape. He obtained a great part of the information necessary for the first Alumni Directory, which was published the following year under the personal direction of Mr. Loren N. Brown, the second secretary of the association. Mr. Brown was secretary of the Wy] association for two years from 1922-24. During his term of office he perfected the Homecoming Banquet in the fall and the Central Luncheon during the State Teachers Meeting. The organization during the past year, which is the fifth year of its existence, marked an- other progressive step in Alumni relationship all over the state. Today the Alumni of Central num- ber more than 3,000, and each year finds its number growing rapidly. In order to keep every Centralite in touch with his “Alma Mater,” two reunions have been held. The first was on November 14, at the Homecoming game when Central defeated Oklahoma City University. Almost one hundred Central graduates attended the luncheon at this time. An- other feature of the day was the parade given in the morning. The second gathering was’ held || February 12, in the Claussen Dinner Bell during the State Meeting of the Oklahoma Education Holl Association. More than one hundred graduates attended the dinner and enjoyed relating many pleasant memories of the past. The Association officers this year are: Loren N. Brown, A. B., ’22, Cushing, President; Walter W. Isle, °09, Duncan, Honorary President; William B. Ragan, ’21, Carnegie, Vice President; T. R. McPheeters, °12, Edmond, Treasurer; Wheeler Simmons, A.

To what do you owe allegiance? For what thing are you willing to suffer, bleed, die—yes, even work? — If asked the above questions, Central students would doubtless answer in the words of the Irishman who was asked what he would do if a man should call him a liar. His answer was, “Faith and “bout how big a man?” The reply of the Central- || ites would likely be, “To what size thing do you refer?” All members of the college have the same faith where the interests of the college are con- cerned. Only one voice, that of Unity, is heard on the athletic field. Nor is there! a division of Hadi opinion as to whether Central should have a winning team in the Triangular Debate contests. If the conversation should drift, however, into a discussion of whether the Triumvirate or ea the T. O. K. is the better club there might be a slight difference of opinion. In fact, it is possible | that there might be a spirited debate. The girls who are members of these clubs have decided beliefs on this question which might not agree, and each has strength, although shorn of her locks, to defend her opinions. The very words “Senate” and “Arena” suggest contests to Central students—contests in the “living present”, more vivid than those of the ancient past. | To achieve excellency in debate and public discussion is the aim of the four clubs already 1 | mentioned, and judging from public exhibitions it seems that each has progressed excellently toward attaining this goal. In the first of the Semi-Annual Contests this year the Monroe Doctrine was the subject for disagreement. The girls’ clubs apparently settled this problem when Ethelyn Kiergan and Pearl Campbell of the Triumvirate Club opposed Ellen Hogan and Cleo Randall of the T. O. K. and won the judges’ decision November 23. Not satisfied with this, however, the Men’s clubs took up the discussion, Lee Wade and W. C. Rogers of the Senate winning from Warner Hord and Odell Palmer of the Arena. In oration. Oran Davis of the Senate won the decision of the judges, his opponent being Marcellus Johnson of the Arena. The advisibility of Tax-Exempt Securities was questioned in the second series of debates for this year. Lyda Roehr and Doris Sparks of the T. O. K. Club defeated Margaret Jones and Gertrude Wolfe in the, debate upon this question. Karl Brown and Louis Nance of the Arena, also debating the Tax-Exempt Securities question, won the judges’ decision. Their opponents were Oran L. Davis and Jay Kennedy of the Senate. Lee Wade of the Senate was victor in the oration contest. Earl Sullins represented the Arena. There are in the College two other clubs which oppose each other in public contests twice each year. They are the Lyceum and the Pioneer, the oldest clubs in Central. The Lyceum Club has been the winner in both contests this year. Those who have rep- resented this club in public efforts are: Truett Ross, Charron Payne, Margaret Tontz, Louise al Whitefield, Mary Gordon Mitchell, William L. Wantland, John Venable, Ethel Ogle and Mildred Henderson. - Senate Perry, Jerome Payne, Jane Moore, Ruby Ratcliff, A. J.

For seven terms it was passed from clib to club. During the eighth term the T. O. Ix. Club captured it for the third time and according to the rules came into permanent possession of the cup.

This annual was named the “Bronze Book.’’ The 114 book was to have a blue cover and bronze letters, the | | colors of the school, Bronze and Blue. | The Editor chosen was Vernon C. Crabb of Arcadia, 1} now a lawyer in Oklahoma City, and Hughes B. Davis of Paden was the Business Manager. This annual was | dedicated to the President of the Normal School, Charles Evans. f The various editions have been dedicated to the fol- kit lowing persons: 1914, The founders of the Bronze Book, t Vernon C. Crabb and Hughes B. Davis; 1915, The women 114] y of the Faculty ; 1916, Mrs. Charles Evans; 1917, President | be Grant B. Grumbine and Professor Nihart.

Forpice, Faculty Advisor d ny i] ) : : {| ‘ Tor the last three years there has successfully operated, in Central, j an organization known as the Young Women’s Christian Association. | j It has been serving its purpose in an excellent manner, radiating a j Christian influence throughout the campus. In view of this fact, a i wonderful opportunity presented itself to the young men of Central ; to organize in order to work cooperatively with this Association. ‘4 A small group of students, together with Mr. Chase and Mr. Fordice, met April 15, 1926, and took advantage of their opportunity by organizing a Student Young Men’s Christian Association. This proved to be a very interesting and enthusiastic meeting characterized by right-from-the-heart talks on “Why I intend to become a member of this Association.” ‘ Central’s activities offer opportunities to young men for develop- ment in literature, debating, music, speaking, dramatics, and athletics, and now we have organized an Association which will offer opportunities for development in Christian work. Its primary purpose is to influence ? young men to devote themselves in united efforts with all Christians to making the will of Christ effective in human society, and to extending the Kinedom of God throughout the world. This purpose is broad but y direct and will no doubt have its influence in directing the efforts of p ail young men toward a higher Christian life. ? While this Association is only a local one, still it is one unit in f the great, international Student Christian Movement which means so much to the life of our students here in the United States as well as other countries of the world. And we as charter members of this Asso- V1 ciation sincerely believe that our local unit here will take its place, and NW i assume its part of the responsibility along by the side of the other Mt} Vy Student Christian Associations of the world. iN 4 t AV} : ne = = ee ee one hundred seventy-nine Miss LEONORA STOCKIRD Feculty Advisor CABINET BA Re ATRIA yA Ty By Vee eee Pan ee?

All Oklahoma lovers of 4 the Gridiron sport were there to see these conference 4 b § rivals meet, for the fray promised to be a repetition of the 1924 post-season tilt between the Bronchos and Bisons. But it rained for a week preceeding the game and the field was slow. For this reason the game failed to be a repetition of the 1924 battle, although it was hard fought. The Bisons had vowed vengeance and were determined to conquer the Bronchos, for victory would probably make them the undisputed champions of the Oklahoma Collegiate Conference; but Central was as determined to win. The Bronchos play- 4 ed a strictly punting game in which Van Noy outdis- j tanced Fox on an average of five yards. This superior kicking was a margin of victory all through the game. Near the close of the first half Central received a punt near the Bison goal and Van Noy promptly turned this into a three point lead by kicking a perfect place kick from the Bisons’ thirty three yard line. On account of hot weather and a heavy field, Coach Wantland sent in a new string of linemen the second half, saving the regulars for the last part of the game. During the third quarter the Bisons made several : first downs but Van Noy’s punting still kept the ball : out of danger. JOE HOUSE, Captain; Delaware. Center. oe oo Oe KH two hundred one =e aH ah IN Ap AY] ip N YI With the Central regulars back in the game the 1 “ fourth quarter, the Baptist in desperation, launched an ‘ : I Ae p : - aerial attack; but this was broken up. ‘Time after time the fighting little Jap Wood broke the play up behind the Bison line. Ketch broke through the line consistently and Captain House intercepted and knock- ed down passes. The Bisons were constantly thrown back to their own goal until just before the gun Cen- tral blocked a punt, gaining two more points and com- plete victory, with Central 5—Oklahoma Baptist Uni- versity 0. PS i} | LESLIE VAN NOY, Delaware | | All-State Quarterback | | After the Baptist game the Central squad spent two weeks of hard practice in scrimmage and running signals, preparing to meet the Kansas State Teachers from Pittsburg on Wantland Field October 10.

Even the dauntless Central warriors be- gan to feel that they could not stop the onrush of the visitors when they saw them march onto the field. The Kansas team outweighed the Bronchos ten pounds to the man.

Courtney failed to make kick after goal. This caught the Pittsburg school unawares, and they never regained the fight they possessed in the JAP WOOD, Perry first half.

The final score was 6 to 6. two hundred three SSB AL THE 1926 BRONZE BOOK [Re SS i i ¥ i | This game brought out a fact that was noticeable all through the season. The Central line was inex- perienced and could not keep the opposing teams from scouring. The line was new from end to end. Not a man had ever p'ayed his position before. 1} On October 16.

Even with this handicap Central bore down across the Arkansawyer’s goal for the first touch- down of the game, when Kingsolover rushed down the field, recovered Van Noy’s punt on the Kansas fifteen yard line and carried the ball across the goal line. Courtney kicked goal for extra point. After this touchdown, repeated line plunges wore the Central line out and Arkansas crossed the Bronchos’ goal twice. In the last quarter Central began to pass and Van Noy, faking a pass, plunged through the line HAROLD CRAVEN, Oklahoma City Guard NORVAL C. KETCH, Edmond Tackle to the Arkansas two-yard line, but Central was unable to penetrate the heavy Razorback line and the score ended Arkansas Agricultural College 14, Central 7. This was the fourth time in thirteen years that the Bronze and Blue football warriors went down to defeat on Wantland field. The next week Central journeyed to Shreveport to play Centenary at the Louisiana State Fair on Novem- ber 7. When Coach Wantland and his charges ar- rived in Shreveport they found more muddy evidirons. Water was everywhere, so the game was played en top two hundred five ay uM 4 f Wha | VII of a little knoll. The ball stayed wet al! through the ' game. Here again Central met another veteran aggre- gation. The Gentlemen of Shreveport were especially good at line charging and plunging, but the slow field hin- dered greatly the speedy overhead game developed by Central. Time after time the Louisiana team failed to gain through the Central line, the brunt of whose | | ERNEST WILLIAMSON, Edmond Halfback attacks were borne by Baumgartner and Scott. Court- ney ran wild on the offense, gaining yardage consist- ently by end runs and receiving passes. In the second quarter Kent scooped up a thirty yard pass from Van Noy and ran twenty yards for a touchdown. The half ended in a 7 to 7 tie. But the J. D.

Wi AYN ty} i x NF IN NY, r two hundred six eS ra The aerial game of the Bronchos is very popular in Shreveport. Central has the reputation there of being a great forward passing team and have made themselves such a favorite with the Louisiana football fans that they have been invited back for the third consecutive time. The eight days from November 7 to 14 was a hard period for Central. After returning from the hard game with Centenary, and with only one night’s rest ARCHIE COURTNEY, Edmond Halfback WALTER CRAMER, Bl ackwell Tackle the Bronchos went to Tulsa and met Tulsa University, one of the strongest foes of the season, on Wednesday, November 11.

Bryant and Corr won the 1925 Intercollegiate Doubles , PAUL BRYANT, Captain, Edmond Singles and Doubles. Championship. Bryant lost the singles due to the fact that his racket was stolen a short time before the finals were held. Prospects for 1926 are equally as bright as those for last season.

D ' Central Lettermen’s Club | b i b : ut Re ’ b j The Central Lettermen’s Club was organized in the winter of 1922. The membership of 4 this club consist of all the men who have ever earned athletic letters in Central State Teachers 4 b College. The club roster dates back to 1899 when Central took part in her first athletics as a Nor- j 6 mal school. Since that time some three hundred fifty men have been added to the rolls by earning 1! 4 | b their letters. Of these three hundred fifty, it is not within the memory of the oldest letterman that 1 | any one has failed to succeed in a professional way just as he did in athletics while a student 1) 4 at Central. Some have been successful in occupations other than athletics; of these a few are y Claude Nihart, Principal of High School, Los Angeles; George Livingston, cashier, First National | : Bank, Philadelphia; Derk Vloedman, Physican, Chicago; Grank Cutsam and “Smoky” Johnson, a y oil operators of Oklahoma. There are names more familiar to students and athletic fans of today. | j A representative group of these are Everette Hafer, coach, Bristow; Mose LeForce, coach, Pawnee; Ralph Meyers, Superintendent, Yukon; Avon Potter, coach, Fairfax. These are only a few of the ly : members of the Lettermens Club who have gone out and have been successful in perpetuating and d developing the true spirit of Central sportsmanship in athletics. ‘ The purpose of the Lettermens Club as set forth by the preamble to the constitution, is : in part, as follows: ‘ 1| | ' 4 | i) 0 ? i] ‘ 9 q q 9 q i] q _—————— Se —_——$—$—$—$— two hundred twenty-five a.) To perfect an organization, the membership of which is perpetuated from year to year; to create a better spirit of cooperation among athletes; to induce young athletes to come to Central; and to regulate the conduct of athletes in school. The club very readily accomplishes these things as designated. As a means of inducing young athletes to come to Central, the Lettermens Club annually holds an invitation basketball tournament, open to all teams whose coach or Superintendent is a Central man. It is the custom for the club to give a banquet during each tournament for the coaches of the visiting teams, and for one man from each team. The tournament this year was the most successful the Club has held. Fifty-four teams entered, and fifty-two reported to parti- cipate in the tournament. This gave Central an opportunity to entertain 468 of Oklahoma’s best athletes, some of whom certainly will be added to Central athletic squads in the future. The an- nual Lettermens banquet, given by Hattie Potter and Mrs. Holmes in the Domestic Science rooms, was attended by one hundred coaches and players. Plans were discussed for supplying Central squads with ample material for the different sports from year te year. It was agreed that each coach present should send at least one good athlete each year to join the ranks of Central Bron- chos. Joe Williamson, president of the Club for 1926, set forth plans whereby the Club might be extended into an intercollege organization to control athletics in Oklahoma. Thus we have the history, purposes, and accomplishments of the Lettermens Club of Cen- tral. Its members join in the cry of “More and better athletics in Central—and Oklahoma.” SE eLTHE 1926 BRONZE G00K— |e Sem 4. = ——.

Formerly the custom has been such that the largest class elected its candidates without difficulty, for of course no loyal member of one class ever voted for the candidates of another class. This year, however, an innovation was made; in that the system of counting was so arranged, in respect to class size, that the smallest class was equal, potentially, to the largest. It worked. The Junior Class won, electing their representative, even though their membership was the smallest of the groups. Two classes, the largest and the smallest, had an expert salesman each, to whose efforts is due no doubt the fact that the Junior representatives were elected, while the larger class ran a close second. The staff wishes to thank the student body and their representatives for the active interest and hearty participation which has helped to make this publication possible. Its ultimate success has depended upon them. two hundred thirty-eight ces ee ot t BS ly Sd Popular ig sete cteeamecnenal ary M=Genee nh age eS ot ee ey WATTON sea od | Vain.

The President’s office, the two outer offices and the halls were artistically decorated with autumn flowers and school colors. The students were received by President and Mrs. Mitchell and the new faculty members. A program consisting of musical numbers and readings was given in the auditorium. At the close of the evening the guests were served with delicious refreshments, which carried out the school colors. The High School students were received from 7:30 to 8:30 and the College Students from 8:30 to 10:30. Criterion Tea The Criterion Club opened the Social season by entertaining their rushees with a bridge tea which was given at the English Hall. The color scheme, old rose and gray, was carried out in a charming manner in the decorations and the delicious refreshments. Just before serving the guests cut for prizes, the winners being Mrs. J. G. Mitchell and Dorothy Neal. Additional guests of the club were Mrs. J. G. Mitchell, Miss Willa Claire Cox and Miss Bernice English. Senior Get-Together The first “Get-Together” meeting of the Senior Class was a wiener roast held early in the fall term at the Edmond Tourist Park. Following the picnic feast, a typical political campaign was staged at which candidates for president made stump speeches. OTHER CLUBS ENJOY BARBECUE GIVEN BY SENATORS OF CENTRAL Despite the fact that a chilly autumn breeze was in the air, a large group of students gath- ered at the English Hall Saturday, October 17, at 7 o’clock, and from there hiked to Tourists’ Park where the Senators entertained with their annual outdoor barbecue. Old-fashioned games were enjoyed during the early evening. The laughter and gaiety re- minded one again and again that after all we are but children “grown-up”. When refreshments were served the guests formed a single line and passed by the stand where they were handed a plate on which was a barbecue sandwich, marshmallows, apples and a cup of coffee. Cups, bearing the word Senate, were given as favors. Mrs. Fred English and Mr. Jamieson assisted in entertaining. enna — i i a -— a — a — a, — i ee twe hundred forty-eight Tau Theta Kappa Club Rush Bridge On September 28, 1926, the Tau Theta Kappa Club entertained with a Rush Bridge in the home of Miss Dorothy Tool when over twenty-five guests were received.

At the close of the afternoon high score went to the club’s former president, Miss Ellen Tansel, and visitor’s prize to Miss Doris Sparks. Tsa Mo Ga Club Entertainments The Tsa Mo Ga Club entertained with an informal tea at the home of Mrs. Spearman, Wednesday afternoon, October, 7, 1925. Besides the new girls Mrs. John G. Mitchell and sev- eral faculty members were present. On Friday evening, October 30, in the Old North Tower the Tsa Mo Ga Club gave their annual party. The decorations carried out the Hallowe’en idea. After fortune telling and various stunts the remainder of the evening was spent in playing progressive “goblin”. Triumvirate Rush Tea The Triumvirate “Rush Tea”, was given at the home of Mrs. Wheeler Simmons, East. Sec- ond Street, during the first week of school. The color note of yellow appeared in baskets of golden glow, dahlias and yellow roses decorating the rooms. _ Yellow streamers fell from the chandelier to tiny fluffy yellow baskets which encircled the table, and were given as favors to the guests. The Misses Dan Louise Holler and Lesta Max Griffin presided at the tea table. The hostess was assisted in receiving by the Club Sponsor, Miss Lucy Hampton, and the President, Miss Lois Griffin. The guests included prospective members and friends of the Triumvirate Club. Shakespeare Rush Tea Honoring their rushees of the fall term the Shakespeare Club entertained in October with an informal tea at the home of Miss Mary Annette Earp. Guests were received by Miss Earp, Miss Colleen Jim Kivlehen, the club president, and Miss Canton, the sponsor. Autumn sugges- tions and the club colors, pink and green, prevailed in the home and on the table where Mrs. Earp poured tea assisted by Hattie Gray Potter. Piano and vocal solos and readings by mem- bers of the club were enjoyed during the afternoon. About twelve guests were entertained. Browning Club Entertains The faculty and the other clubs of Central were guests of the Browning Club at a Halloween Party on the evening of October 23, in the Old North Tower. The rooms were charmingly decorat- ed in Halloween colors. The guests arrived promptly at eight and entertaining through the “Chamber of Horrors” they arrived safely in the art rooms where they were entertained with games and fortune telling. At the close of the evening the guests were served with delicious refreshments which were truly typical of Halloween. Lyceum Social Events Club interest was aroused at the outset by a wiener roast, which was attended by the club members and an equal number of friends. There followed a party, held about the middle of the year, at the home of Miss Margaret Tontz, former president. Again the club’s friends were in- vited, and everyone had an excellent time playing games. Refreshments were served. The year was closed by another wienes roast, counterpart of the first. The year has been one of good- fellowship within the club and one of dual victory over her rivals. Pioneer Rook Party On the evening of November 20, 1925 Mr. and Mrs. Fordice entertained about thirty mem- bers of the Pioneer Club at a rook party in their home.

When the guests arrive they were each given attractive caps of orange crepe paper. They were then ushered into the art rooms which were beautifully decorated in the Thanksgiving colors. The guests upon entering these rooms were given tally cards. Each one found his respective table where the progressive game of “Turkey” was played. Prizes were awarded to the player at each table who won the most games. The Thanksgiving suggestions were carried out in the refreshments which consisted of neat sandwiches, cranberries, pumpkin pie and whipped cream, and hot chocolate. Mrs. Estill Entertains Club Members November 23, 1925, in honor of her birthday anniversary, Mrs. Estill entertained the mem- bers of the Tau Theta Kappa Club at a dinner in the lunch room of the Mitchell Drug Store.

On entering the room the guests were given a tally card by the hostess. The room was beautifully decorated with old rose and gray, and flowers. The entire evening was spent playing bridge, Mrs. Harrison winning high score. A de- licious plate lunch was served, carrying out refreshments which art typical of November. Shakespeares Entertained In November, 1925, the Shakespeares were delightfully entertained by Miss Betty McBrien, at her home on East Third street. The afternoon was spent playing Cootie. Mary Louise Fin- ley and Mary Gordon Mitchell received favors. Shakespeare suggestions were carried out by the hostess in her tallies and menu, and hand-made corsages of candy flowers were given the guests when the delicious two-course refreshments were served. The club mascot, Mary Gordon Mitchell, and sponsor, Miss Canton, were among those entertained.

Guests clad in overalls and aprons left their dignity at home and enjoyed a time which would be described by our parents as the “Good Old Days”.

The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, the music being furnished by the Arena Orchestra. At the close of the evening, the guests were served with delicious refreshments which carried out the old rose and grey color scheme. Punch was served throughout the evening. - Shakespeare Bridge-Dinner Thursday evening, March 18, 1926, Miss Alice Cochran entertained the Shakespeare Club members, pledges, and sponsor Miss Canton, and honorary member Miss Cox at a delightful six o'clock brige-dinner at her home on North Normal street.
