Thus he has record- ed on stone and brass and with pen and brush his joys and sorrows and hopes and fears that all may share with him. In this spirit of sharing we at Central express by picture and printed word the happy experiences of each fleeting college year and bind them together in a Bronze Book of golden memories. By the Central students of 1937-38 these memories will be treasur- ed as priceless reminders of the one period in their lives through which they will ever be willing to re- trace their steps. Alumni will in the pages of this volume relive their own college lives and vicariously will participate in the triumphs and thrills of many another person dear to them. With the realization that the contents of this vol- ume will continually strike the more tender strings of memory, I am happy to have the privilege of send- ing greetings to all students past and present. May future years bring to you the full realization of the aspirations of your college days and reward with an abundant harvest each sound thought and habit ac- quired at Central. All of us, faculty, students and alumni, express to the editors, the business managers, and the sponsors our sincere thanks for producing this beautiful and carefully prepared 1938 Spotlight Bronze Book, 1n its excellence so representative of the steady progress of the college which we love and serve.

Brown holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Central State Teach- ers College and the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy Degrees from the University of Oklahoma. For the past seventeen years he has been connected with Central, at intervals, in the capacity of student and instructor. Since June 1, 1928, Dr. Brown has been a regular member of the Social Science Department, teaching History and Political Science. In addition to his classroom teaching, he has served at different times as Rural School Supervisor, Alumni Secretary, and Director of Teachers Placement. August, 1937, he took over the position of Dean of the College and during the absence of Dean Wayne Johnson has also served in the capacity of Acting Dean of Men during | the past year. In these tasks, his administrative experience has helped fit him - to adequately serve the college. | Page Thirty-seven Dean of Men LLOYD WAYNE JOHNSON Dean Johnson received the B. A. degree from Central State Teachers Col- lege, and the M. A. degree from the University of Oklahoma. He is a member of the Mathematical Association of America, the American Mathematical Society and the Oklahoma Academy of Science. Dean Johnson is on leave of absence this year to work on his doctorate at Princeton. He is peculiarly fitted to act as Dean of Men at the College and during the years that he had served in this ca- pacity he has made an enviable record. Dean Johnson has presented original work in pure geometry before the Okla- homa Section of the American Mathematical Association. Dean Johnson is also Chairman of the Oklahoma Section of the Mathematical Association of America. Page Thirty-eight Dean of Women é ¥ ‘ ‘ 3 A DOROTHEA MEAGHER Dean Meagher received the A. B. degree from Central State Teachers College and the M. A. degree from Oklahoma University. She is a member of Delta Kappa Gamma and is President of Alpha Chapter, Pi Kappa Delta, Kappa Del- ta Pi, American Association of University Women, and has been a member of the Central State Teachers College faculty for thirteen years. The Dean of Women of the College should be primarily concerned with the education of women including that attained through gracious living and parti- cipation in campus activities. Her responsibility is to lead the young women of her campus to establish for themselves standards of fine living which will carry them actively into community life after they leave college. In many instances the Dean is a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a teacher, a social arbiter, a diagnos- tician, and a counselor. No problem is too small to receive careful consideration and a thoughtful solution. Dean Meagher by her own example, in living her charming personality and gracious manner, ably fulfills all these requirements. Page Thirty-nine Director of Training School ROLAND L. BECK Dr. Beck holds the B. A. degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, and the M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from the University of Oklahoma. He has been Professor of Education, Central State Teachers College since 1932, and became Director of the Training School in 1938. The Training School of Central State Teachers College provides actual teach- ing experience for Central students. “Through the direction of its practice teach- ers each department of the college has the opportunity to supervise teaching methods. The best teachers from the various departments of the college are se- lected to supervise the high school student teachers. Critic teachers of the ele- mentary and junior high schools have superior training in their fields as well as satisfactory teaching experience. [he philosophy of the school recognizes that a teacher must have a thorough knowledge of what is to be taught and the ability to teach. Page Forty Department of Education In IB TRUE Professor Ray holds the B. A. degree from Central Normal School in India- na, the B. A. degree from the University of Indiana, and the M. A. degree from George Peabody College for Teachers. He is a member of the ‘Alpha Chapter of the Phi Delta Kappa honorary fraternity and has once been awarded a state scholarship from Arkansas to George Peabody College. He has served on Central's faculty continuously since the fall of 1916, and has, since he was made head of the department, taught in the various divisions of it. The divisions are Standards and Tests, Rural Education, Director of the Training School, Psychology, History and Philosophy of Education, and Pri- mary Education. 2 The chief objective of the department is adequate training of teachers for effective work in the schools of the state. Page Forty-one Department of English FRANCIS CORAM OAKES Professor F. C. Oakes, head of the department, has been a member of the faculty since 1903. He holds the B. A. degree from the University of Okla- homa and the M. A. degree from the University of Chicago.

Hugh N. Comfort, a recent addi- tion, has had extensive preparation in several fields and is connected with nu- merous learned societies. Mollie Ruth Bottoms is an author of note, who en- joys much acquaintanceship with the literary lights of to-day, Grady C. Wat- kins spent a year in England recently. His knowledge of the English Litera- ture is comprehensive. Dr. Fred L. Fordice is a scholar of more than statewide measure. Willa Claire Cox specializes in Recent Literature. Lucille McGuire, assistant professor of English and Dramatic Art, has been studying in Yale- during the year. John Green, who has been in charge of the Speech and Dra- matics courses this year, has made a notable success with this work.

She is listed in Who’s Who in American Education, Oklahoma’s Who's Who, Who’s Who in the Women of the Southwest, and was chosen for the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. No finer tribute can be paid Dr. Harbour than that expressed at the banquet in the Spring of 1937, celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of her coming to Central. This banquet starting as a Senior dinner, honoring the beloved sponsor, was literally “‘taken over’ by former students, former faculty mem- bers and state executives who came to honor the unusual record of this lovable woman. The department offers work in History, Government, Geography, Econom- ics, and Sociology. With greater stress being placed upon the Social Sciences by 2 the National Government, this field promises to become more important than ever before. Members of the Social Science Department are: Loren H. Brown, Ph. D.; Lucy Jeston Hampton, M. A.; Guy A. Rankin, M. A.; Letia Davis, M. A.; and Edward E. Keso, Ph. D. Page Forty-three Department of Foreign Language GUy CURTIS CHAMBERS Professor Chambers received the B. A. and M. A. degrees from the Univer- sity of Oklahoma, and during the year 1937-1938 has been on leave of ab- sence completing work for his doctorate at the University of Toulouse, at Tou- louse, France. He is Vice-President of the Modern Language Association of the Central West, and Southern States. Mr. Chambers was interpreter to the Mod- ern Language and School Review Magazines during the World War. The Department of Modern Languages consisting of French, Spanish, and German, endeavors to give the student a practical working knowledge of the language as well as something of the history and the language of the people whose language he is studying. Seminar courses have been added so that students may continue their modern language courses indefinitely after completing the courses in the catalog. Other faculty members of the Modern Language Department are: Dwight M. Davis, M. A., Lowell Dunham, M. A., and Hugh Comfort, M. A. Page Forty-four rt en Department of Ancient Language JESSIE D. NEWBY Dr. Newby holds the B. A. and M. A. degrees from the University of Ok- lahoma, and the Ph. D. degree from the State University of lowa. She is a member of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South, American Classical League, American Numismatic Society, Phi Beta Kappa, Kappa Delta Pi, Delta Kappa Gamma and Eta Sigma Phi. In the department of Latin there are a number of courses which may be tak- en by any one who is interested in such topics as the dress, meals, and amuse- ments of the Romans; Roman coins; and the ruins and monuments of ancient Rome. The other courses are designed for two classes of students; those who desire to pursue the subject for general education purposes, and those who desire to become teachers of Latin. There is a Latin club called the Olympian Council, which offers an oppor- tunity for better acquaintance and friendship with all those who are taking or who have had Latin. The department is equipped with a laboratory and material for projects and poster work. A screen, stereopticon, and slides are used frequently. Page Forty-five Professor Wax received the B. A. and M. A. degrees from the University of Oklahoma. and was Superintendent of the Gotebo schools. From December, 1917 to February, 1919, he was in the Navy stationed at Harvard University in the Radio school and Officers Material School. He be- came a member of the Central State Teachers College faculty in the summer of 1919, coming from Central High School in Oklahoma City. The Department of Mathematics has as its aims, to offer courses that fulfill the requirements for entrance into engineering schools, to give students a com- prehensive knowledge of mathematics as a whole, and to prepare students to teach mathematics. The enrollment in the department has greatly increased, and at the present time a large percent of the entire student body is enrolled in some type of math- ematics. . Associate Professors of Mathematics are: Seborn J. Payne, M. S.; Dorothea Meagher, M. S.; and Lloyd Wayne Johnson, who has leave of absence doing work on the Ph. D. degree at Princeton University. Page Forty-six Department of Mathematics He served as Principal of the school systems at Snyder and Pryor, EDGAR A. WAX Department of Science CLIFF R. OTTO Professor Otto holds the A. B. and M. S. degrees from the University of Oklahoma and came to Central in the fall of 1919. Since that time he has played an active part in developing science teaching and an interest in the sciences in Oklahoma. He served as active President of Central, summer 1935 and Dean of Administration from 1935 to 1937. He is a member of the Am- erican Chemical Society and is a Fellow of the Oklahoma Academy of Science. The Department of Science at Central offers courses to many students who are doing the work for its general cultural value. At the same time the De- partment offers work to many more students who expect to use their science professionally in the fields of science teaching, home economics, engineering, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, agriculture and other related occupations. This dual responsibility to two types of students makes it necessary that the science courses be fundamental in their nature and substantial in their content so that the student who goes out from Central may be able to meet his competition as he finds it. Page Forty-seven Department of Art ANITA HOWARD Miss Howard holds the B. F. A. degree from the University of Oklahoma, has done Graduate work at Harvard University, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Broadmoor Art Academy of Colorado Springs, Colorado and the Fine Arts Center of Colorado Springs. She is a graduate of the University of Ok- lahoma, and is a member of Kappa Delta Pi, Kappa Pi, El Modjii, and the As- sociation of Oklahoma Artists. Art history affords a knowledge and enjoyment of works of art and a deep- er appreciation of the master workmanship of the artists. It instills an appre- ciation and a respect for the accomplishments of all people. It develops a sys- tematic insight into masterly work. Education has no more serious responsibility than making an adequate pro- vision for enjoyment of recreative leisure. “The art courses provide the joy one derives from expression and creating. ‘The study of design creates habits of or- derliness, and it’s principles possess the foundation for well-ordered balanced living. Dale McKinney, B. A., is assistant in this department. Page Forty-eight Department of Physics ERNEST LELAND HOWELL Professor Howell holds the B. A. degree from the University of Oklahoma. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Pi Sigma. The Department of Physics offers in all thirty-three hours of college physics leading to a B. A. degree and in preparation for medicine and engineering later on. It is the primary purpose of the Department, however, to train teachers and special effort is placed on this phase of the work. Page Forty-nine OLIVE B. THOMAS Professor Thomas holds the B. S. degree from Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College and the M. A. degree from Columbia University. She is a member of Phi Kappa Phi. The ultimate aim of the Department of Home Economics is to educate for better home making and inevitably for better ‘home living’’. The school of home economics has considered the needs of the girls to such an extent that opportunity for training is offered along almost every line which will be of interest to the professional woman as well as the homemaker. ‘The curriculum is no longer filled with mere practice work in cooking and sewing, as has heretofore been the prevailing idea. Rather it attempts to point the way to making healthy, happy, well groomed, normal individuals, who are prepar- ed to meet life situations. It attempts to create an understanding of the eco- nomic, social, and moral demands which are made of women, whether they serve in the capacity of the homemaker or the professional type. The Les Chefettes Club, which is the college’s Home Economics Club, is af- filiated with the National Organization. The other member of the department is Starr Otto Doyel. Page Fifty PR Rl JAMES FORREST WEST Professor West holds the B. F.

Organizations of the department include the Chorus, A Capella Choir, Wom- en's Glee Club, Men's Glee Club, and Men’s Quartet, the Women’s Quartet and Trio, the Band, and the Orchestra. This year ‘‘The Messiah’’, ‘‘The Holy City,’ and Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, ‘‘The Yoeman of the Guard’ were presented under the direction of Mr. West and Miss Plunkett. Other members of the department are Douglas Johnston, Jr., J. J. Gecks, and Mary Wrany. Page Fifty-one | Department of Agriculture FRED H. IVES i Professor Ives holds the B. A. and M. S. degrees from Oklahoma Agricul- tural and Mechanical College. | The Department of Agriculture continues to carry a large enrollment each | year in qualifying teachers for good practical service in the schools of Oklaho- ma.

Page Fifty-two Department of Industrial Arts VAN M. THORNTON Professor Thornton holds the B. S. and M. S. degrees from the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. He became Head of the Industrial Arts Department in the spring of 1931. The Department of Industrial Arts has three objectives: first, to train indus- trial art teachers; second, to give training to those students who do not desire to specialize in the department an opportunity to learn and appreciate this type of work; third, to give the student a knowledge of materials and finishing in order that he may select and buy more intelligently. Page Fifty-three Department of Physical Education for Men CLAUDE E. REEDS Professor Reeds holds the B. A. degree from the University of Oklahoma. The activities of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics for Men are dominated by Intercollegiate Sports, yet it is the aim of this depart- ment that every student shall have the oportunity to participate in some sport, either intercollegiate or intramural. Central is a member of the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference and has always been a consistent winner of championships in various sports. During the past year Central won championships in Football, Basketball, Baseball, Track, and Tennis. The intramural activities consist of competition in Tennis, Wrestling, Swim- ming, Basketball, Track, and Horse Shoes. Assistants in the department are: Dale Hamilton, B. S., Assistant in Foot- ball, head Basketball and Track coach; Eugene Smith, B. S., Assistant in Foot- ball, Director of Intramurals and coach of Wrestling; Odus Morgan, M. A., coach of Tennis. Page Fifty-tourc Department of Physical Education for Women EMMA WILLMENT PLUNKETT Professor Plunkett holds the B. S. degree from Georgia Peabody College and the M. S. degree from Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. She is a member of Kappa Delta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, Delta Psi Kappa and Delta Kap- pa Gamma. Education through physical education is the aim of the Department of Phy- sical Education for Women. It is carried out by means of a two-fold purpose; first, the welfare of the student is furthered by applying the following objec- tives: (a) providing opportunities for controlled participation in physical ac- tivities that will result in educative experience; (b) developing organic systems of the body so each individual may live at the highest level; (c) developing skills in activities and favorable attitudes toward play and recreation which will function throughout the individual’s life. The second purpose is to train major students in physical education to be teachers in Oklahoma schools and through their leadership carry out the above objectives. Every woman student at Central is given an opportunity to voluntarily participate in and learn the activities which suit her interests and capacities. Swimming, dancing, tennis, hockey, basketball, archery, baseball, badminton, and volley ball are some of the activities in which Central girls are engaged to find happiness, physical fitness, and fellowship. Page Fifty-five a Department of Commerce EARL CLEVENGER Professor Clevenger holds the B. S. degree from Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, the M. S. degree from Oklahoma Agricultural and Mech- anical College, and has done graduate work in the University of Denver, Teachers College of Columbia University, and New York University.

He has published a series of shorthand tests and has contributed chapters to several commerce textbooks. His text in Accounting is now used in the beginning Ac- counting course in the college.. The Commerce Department of Central State Teachers’ College has shown a phenomenal growth under Mr. Clevenger’s able direction. It is the purpose of this department to prepare teachers who can go out over the state and help stu- dents develop a better understanding of the principles of business as applied to everyday life. Odus Morgan, M. S., is assistant in this department. Page Fifty-six ES SSE EN HERR ST- TESTS SS SS a Ss ns ge STS pe rrr eer ce ee SVE Library Science LYNDAL SWOFFORD Professor Swofford holds the B. A. degree from the University of Oklahoma, and the B. S. and M. S. degrees in Library Science, from the University of Ill- inois. She is a member of Kappa Delta Pi, Sigma Tau Delta, Delta Psi Kap- pa and American Library Association and Oklahoma Library Association. Modern conceptions of educational methods require the student to spend many hours of his time in the college library. “To make these hours useful, and at the same time agreeable; to furnish the tools of the learning process efficiently and with as little obtrusion of formal- ity as may be possible; to train the student in their efficient use; and, above all, to make the college library and the hours spent therein an influence which will supply color and life to the framework of the formal curriculum—these are the aims of the ideal college library... ”’ Mrs. Vernon Johnson, assistant librarian, holds the B. A. degree from Cen- tral State Teachers College and the M. S. degree from Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. She is a member of Kappa Delta Pi and of the Amer- ican Library Association and Oklahoma Library Association.

We hope that these students will use their talents wisely and well and that whatever measure of success they may achieve will be a favorable reflection upon the breadth and scope of their training at Central. Page Six fy-seven CC ie Page Sixty-nine Dr. FRED McCARREL Dr. Harbour, the Mother of the Senior Class, is a ‘Mom’’ we are well proud of. She has been a great success in keeping us together and seeing that we have acted as Seniors should. This was a mighty big job and she has car- ried it out to the letter, proving herself deserving of much applause. We'll say she is first class! Let us take this opportunity to thank you, ‘Mom’, for a Senior year we shall always remember because of you and your generosity. Page Seventy Senior Advisors Dr. McCarrel is known to the Senior Class as “‘Dad’’. He has taken our af- fairs to heart and guided us to the best of his ability. To him we owe our sincere gratitude for helping us when it came to the all-important task of our making our grades, steering us in or out of the way of the Deans, and helping us out of our financial difficulties by bringing to our aid the Senior Loan Fund. To our ‘‘Dad’’, we offer you thanks for all the things you have so willingly and graciously done for us.

Dr. Keso was appointed to the position of Club Supervisor in 1930 and has held the posi- tion continuously since that time. Mr. Rankin was chosen to assist Dr. Keso in 1931 and he also, has served in that capacity continuously. The remarkable popularity of these two men is the determining factor in these extra-curricular activities which play such an important part in the College life. ‘ Page One Hundred Seventeen ES ee ee ee HATTIE SEAY BINION, Sponsor OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester PATSYeO? 511s jae President — ss _IRIS GREER EDNA JEANNE RAINES _____-.

The purpose of the club is to promote a better understanding of the works of Shakespeare and also to carry out the numerous social activities in which the club is always engaged. Among the annual events are the Homecoming Tea, the Christmas dinner, the Mother’s Day breakfast, the Garden Party, the Spring Formal, and various other rush parties and informal affairs. This year the Shakespeare Club was fortunate enough to have chosen from its members the band queen, carnival queen, one of the Bronze Book queens, and the Bronze Book editor.

C. Oakes as spon- sor. The purpose of the club is to promote interest and develop power in parliamentary law, debating and public speaking. During all its history, the Senate has won its share of club honors, and claims among its former members many of the men who have since become leaders in educational and political history. It is customary for the Senate Club and the Arena Club to hold a contest each semester of the school year. These contests consist of a debate and an oratorical contest between the two clubs. So far, this year, only one contest has been held. In this one Robert Capshaw and James Bushman won the de- bate and Glynn Carman won the oratorical contest.

Established upon the principle of promoting the cause of Democracy by furthering patriotic interest in government and governmental activities, training our youth for the lead- ership of their nation, and giving unpartisan support to the functions of the Democrat Party, this chap- ter has grown into one of the foremost organizations in our state. Evidence of the good standing of this chapter is shown in the various honors which its different mem- bers have obtained. Offices held were Secretary of the Fifth District, five times, and State College Secre- tary, twice. In 1937, Dale Mears was Secretary and Treasurer of the Fifth District. It is due to the careful guidance of our good pilot, Dr. Emma Estill Harbour that this chapter is known throughout the state of Oklahoma and it is to her that we give a vote of thanks for the splendid work she has done for us. Adding to the tradition of the Young Democrats is a gavel which has been the means of keeping or- der in many fiery conventions in Canada and the United States. “This cherished article, which is present- ed as a gift to the newly elected executive each year.

How well we have been able to do that is your privilege to judge. In these pages we have tried to include sketches of college life and outstanding events of the year. The Bronze Book is a Senior publication, but it is a product of the combined efforts of the entire student body. May we express our appreciation for the many valuable suggestions and the cooperation of the organizations and indivi- duals who have contributed their bits in the compilation of the material used for this book. We are especially grateful to President Mosely for his cooperation in every way, to Professor Howell for his thankless task of making pictures respresentative of life on the campus, to Mr. Bateman for his able assistance to the Staff and Business Manager; and to our Sponsor, Dr. Emma Estill-Harbour, we especially wish to express our thanks for her advice and criticism and the effort with which she has aided the Bronze Book publication each year. Our only alternative is to ask that your criticism be fair and just and that you constantly bear in mind that this volume is not being put forth for criti- cism, but to illustrate and bring out many of the sunny spots in our college life as a student body.

The semi-final and final matches on Saturday were exceedingly inter- esting} because of the evenly matched teams involved in each event. The tense moments of frequent extention periods, kept the excited fans on their toes ,and the pop bottle lids in the air: There was plenty of evidence that the leading teams were well re- presented. Three bus loads of Thom- as. townfolk were in readiness to make the tournament in the event their team went to the finals, however, the finalists did nearly as well. Semi-bald neophytes were officially initiated into the Lettermen’s club by keeping the hungry ‘fans supplied throughout the tournament with ap- ples, candy, and hot dogs from the Lettermen’s concession. Coaches Claude Reeds, Dale Ham- ilton and Gene Smith report that “everything went along smoothly and on schedule” and have expressed their appreciation to all who had part in making the tournament a success. The new electric score board and time clock recently purchased by the Lettermen’s club kept the spectators posted on vital data throughout the final games. All contestants received free meals at Murdaugh hall at the expense of the Lettermen’s club until they were eliminated from the tournament, A complete list of scores for every game and box scores of the final games can be found on the back page.

THOMPSON—Comanche ALLEN TURNER—Britton Halfback Halfback Page Two Hundred Eleven Football Review On September 1, fourteen returning lettermen of the 1936 Oklahoma Colle- giate Conference Championship team, along with a host of freshmen and new men, reported for practice. Coach Claude Reeds and assistants, Dale Hamilton and Gene Smith, immediately started drilling the boys to get them in condition for one of the toughest schedules Central has had for many years. The freshmen played Stourd High School on the Central field September 17. The Freshmen played a fine game and managed to gain a 7 to 0 victory over the exceptionally large high school team. The Broncho first-year men showed lots of pep and determination, which enabled most of them to make the varsity squad later on. The first varsity game of the season was with the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, being played at Fayetteville, Arkansas, September 25. The Bron- chos stopped the Razorback’s running attack fairly well but were unable to halt one of the greatest passing attacks of the Nation. The Southwest Conference Champions of 1936, threw a rain of passes all through the game to defeat the Bronchos 25 to 0. The next week, October 2, the Bronchos traveled over to Tulsa to meet the fast University of Tulsa eleven. The Hurricanes, having one of the best teams in the South passed and ran their way to six touchdowns, while the Bronchos managed to get only one. Without missing a single point-after-touchdown the Hurricanes scored a total of 42 points to 6 for Central. The first conference game of the season, with the Northwestern Rangers, was the next opposition for the Bronchos, being played at Alva, October 8. Both teams fought stubbornly the first half and neither team was able to score. The Bronchos came back in the last half with renewed energy to score two touchdowns and kicking one goal-after-touchdown. The Rangers were unable to penetrate very far down in Broncho territory in either half and thus failed to score. The final score read Central 13 and Northwestern 0. The following week-end the Bronchos went to Emporia, Kansas and met the Kansas State Teachers College Hornets, in their newly constructed stadium, October 16. This was an interesting game for spectators, with first one team taking the lead then the other, featuring long runs, wonderful punting, and a host of forward and lateral passing. The Bronchos lead at the half by a score of 13 to 7. They were still leading in the last quarter, by a score of 20 to 13, with but three minutes left to play, when the Hornets made an eighty-five yard run for a touchdown and kicked the extra point to tie the game 20-20. The game ended with this score. Returning home the next week-end, for the homecoming battle and the first home game of the season, Austin College of Sherman, Texas furnished the opposition. Central took an early lead by scoring a touchdown shortly after Page Two Hundred Twelve nen FISD the game started and were leading at the half 14-0. The Texans were not satis- fied with being so far behind and came back the second half fighting desperately. The Broncho defense would not give until early in the final period when the Kangroos ran and passed their way to a touchdown and kicked goal. Then with the score 14-7, and two seconds to play, the Texans completed a long pass which was good for six points. On the try for extra point, the kick was blocked by the aggressive Broncho linemen and another Central homecoming was won 14-13. é The Southwestern Bulldogs of Weatherford, came over to Edmond the next week to play the Bronchos a conference game for the entertainment of the Central Oklahoma District Teachers meeting. A host of Weatherford fans, along with the college band and pep club, followed the Bulldogs to Edmond with hopes of winning a game that might determine the conference champion- ship. After a scoreless first half, with each team trying to give the other a score by fumbles, which were recovered by the opposing team, and by passes which were intercepted, the Bronchos opened up with a seventy-five yard drive, at the beginning of the second half to score a touchdown. The Bronchos scored again in the last period adding seven more points to their lead, and the game ended with a score of 14-0. The Northeastern Redmen, the opposition the next week, at Tahlequah, had beaten the Bronchos more times than any other team in the conference during the career of Mr. Reeds at Central, and that being only twice of the seven games. Both teams played mostly a defensive game during the entire battle and each threatened to score once or twice. It looked bad for the Bronchos in the fourth quarter when a Northeastern back, from his own twenty yard line backed up and passed to a teammate standing in the end-zone, alone. But the ball trickled through the fingers of the receiver and that ended the scoring threat for the Redmen. The game ended with the Redmen very much pleased that they had held the defending champions to a 0-0 tie. The next week, in an Armistice day battle at Shawnee, the Bronchos came from behind in the last few minutes, making a storybook finish, to win from the Oklahoma Baptist University 16-10. The Bronchos scored in the first quarter by way of a pass for a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second quarter the Bisons worked up the field to the ten-yard line by passes and running plays. Then, after being held for three downs on running plays, a pass to a Bison end in the end-zone was good for a touchdown. The point- after-touchdown was good and the half ended in a 7-7 deadlock. The Baptist scored a field goal at the beginning of the second half making the score read 10-7. The score remained this way until the last three minutes of play, when the Bronchos, after playing in Bison territory nearly all the last half, went over for a touchdown and kicked goal, then scored a safety with but a few seconds to play. On November 19, the Southeastern Savages came over to Edmond to furnish opposition for the Bronchos in the last home game of the season. Although the Page Two Hundred Thirteen Savages had not won a conference game all season they refused to let Central have more than one touchdown. But they failed to score, themselves, thus giv- ing the Bronchos a 7-0 victory. The Broncho touchdown came in the first quarter and, although outplaying the Savages during the entire game, could not manage another counter. The Southeasterners threatened only once, and that being in the last quarter when a Savage back faded back and passed to a teammate, who was behind the Broncho secondary, only to have him drop it. In the Turkey-day game at Ada, November 25, and the last game of the season, the Bronchos ran up the largest score of any conference game for the season by beating the East Central Tigers 43-0, to take the undisputed Okla- homa Collegiate Conference Championship title. The Tigers stopped the Cen- tral running plays at first, until a Broncho pass was completed for a touch- down. Then the Bronchos could not be stopped. The first three passes thrown by the Central aggregation netted six points each. The ‘Tigers never threatened to score a single time during the entire battle. With another Oklahoma Collegiate Conference Championship to their credit, the Bronchos returned to Edmond satisfied with a fairly successful season, win- ning five and tieing one conference game. Outside the conference they won one, tied one and lost two. The two losses being at the hands of two of the strongest teams in the South: Arkansas University and Tulsa University.

From which to pick his starting five and reserve strength, Coach Hamilton had six lettermen from the 1937 Conference Championship team and a large number of squadmen and freshmen, who were reporting for practice daily, each striv- ing for a position on the team that was highly favored to repeat for the Con- ference Championship.

SHEPHERD Guard To start the season off, the Broncho cagers went to Denton, Texas, Decem- ber 8-9, for a two game series with the East Texas Teachers. When the two games were over the two teams were just like they started in every respect. The Texans won the first game by one point and the Bronchos evened things in the last game by winning by one point. After a short vacation during the Xmas holidays the squadmen returned to enter the Oklahoma City Collegiate Invitation Tournament, December 27-27- 28-30. After losing the first game to the North Texas Teachers the Bronchos pepped up and came through to win the Consalation championship. JACK LORENZ Guard BERNARD THURMAN Forward Page Two Hundred Seventeen The Bronchos started into their conference games the next month by opening with the East Central Tigers on January 7. They were sailing along nicely, without a loss until meeting the Northwestern Rangers at Alva, January 28, who defeated them 34-37. Then the Hamilton men never lost another confer- ence game until the O. B. U. Bisons, who had not won a conference game all the year, scored a 16-20 upset over them, February 19. However on the same weekend the Northwestern team, who was in first place, was upset by the Southeasterners. The next time that the first place Northwestern Rangers and the second place Bronchos met, which was February 26, at Edmond, the Central five won 45-31, to tie the Rangers for the lead. At the end of the season both teams bad won 12 and lost 2 of their games fo r a Co-Championship title.

Coach Morgan’s Broncho netmen have not been beaten by a conference team in six years. Texas University is the only team anywhere, that has managed to come out ahead of the Bronchos, with the exception of Oklahoma University once in 1937, since 1932. Besides Texas University, Oklahoma University and the Conference schools, some of the strong teams that the Central racket-slingers play are Baylor Uni- versity, St. Mary’s University, Denton Texas Teachers, Oklahoma A 6 M College, and Oklahoma City University. The team, composed of George Counts, Tommie Higgins, Captain Billy Hall, Gene Morris, and Kenneth Sandmire, entered the 1938 River Oaks Invi- tation Tennis Tournament, at Houston, Texas, which was composed of five of the first ten ranking players in the United States. Page Two Hundred Nineteen ‘ Wrestling Review Coach Gene Smith started the wrestling season with four returning letter- men and a group of squadmen and new men, with each man working hard daily, trying to gain a position on the team at one of the various weights. An intramural tournament was held, January 13 and 14, for all non-letter- men, for the purpose of determining the best of the new men. The winners were Raymond Allen, Erwin McKee, Benton Hart, Hal Adamson, John Juby, Alva Hill, Jack Taylor, and Charles Thompson. The Broncho matmen then started on their six-match collegiate schedule, of which they won two and lost four; winning from Northeastern Teachers and Oklahoma University. and loosing to Southwestern Teachers, Oklahoma Uni- versity, and Oklahoma A M twice. After completing the state competition, Coach Smith took five of his men to the National A. A. U. wrestling tournament at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The wrestlers who made the trip were Burl Thompson, 191 pounds; Gerald Barnett, 155 pounds; Ocie Anderson, 145 pounds; Morey Villa Real, 135 pounds; and Captain Grant Wright, 123 pounds, who won second place.

It is the oldest organization of its kind in Oklahoma. As the name implies, the Lettermen’s Club is composed of men who have earned letters in one or more of the various sports sponsored by the College. The purpose of this organization is to promote and develop a spirit of good fellowship among athletes of Central, to bring closer together the athletes in school and the alumni of Central, to strive to put good teams in the field at all times and to interest young athletes in coming to Central. One of the outstanding features of the year is the Annual High School In- vitation Basketball Tournament, which is sponsored by this club. The tourna- ment 1s composed of ninty-six Oklahoma High School teams each year, and it is the largest of its kind in the United States. One of the purposes of this tournament is to influence graduating high school athletes to come to Central. From the receipts of the concessions, during the tournament, the lettermen hold an annual steak-fry, at the close of each year, pay for their Bronze Book page, and this year they contributed an electric score-board to the athletic department. As a new event this year the club sponsored a high school track meet of schools of the central district. This meet is called The Broncho Relays, and is planned to be made an annual affair. Page Two Hundred Twenty-four Women's Physical Education EMMA PLUNKETT Director of Department of Physical Education for Women MARGARET TOLSTED Assistan t Professor of Physical Education for Women Page Two Hundred Twenty-five Women's Athletic Association The purpose of the W. A. A. is to further interest in the athletic activities and to extend good sportsmanship among the women of Central. The officers for the school year of 1937-38 are Virginia Cunningham, president; Texas Miller, vice-president; Fae Hilliard, secretary, and Frances Luke, treasurer. Any girl who has won one-hundred points is privileged to wear the W. A. A. pin and upon the completion of eight-hundred points by any girl in good stand- ing that girl is awarded the W. A. A. sweater and monogram. The Central “C”’ is awarded for fifteen hundred points. The W. A. A. elected nine all-around athletes to represent Central at the State Play Day which was held at Stillwater on April 8 and 9. The W. A. A. members were the hostesses to the representive high school teams on May 7 for the high school Sports Day. A day given over to playing, not as school teams but as color teams. The second annual Dance Recital was presented by the members of Orchesis, honorary dance organization, and the modern dance classes on April 14. Miss Margaret Tolsted is the sponsor of the Orchesis group. The activities of the W. A. A. include the presentation of the annual ADAM HINDPAW—BARNDOOR BAILHAY CIRCUS in Wantland Hall which is one of the outstanding hits of the school year. Page Two Hundred Twenty-six W.A. A.

Memories as I looked into the door of the reception room of the Dean’s office into the gaily lighted room and saw that line of distinguished looking faculty members; I caught my breath; this is the last year—the last reception. President and Mrs. Moseley assisted by their very capable faculty gave us a most hearty welcome back to school with their annual recep- tion. Memories of the rush season opened by the Criterions with a ‘‘Back to School’’ party in the private dining room in Murdaugh Hall. The dinner pails rattled and the note of ‘‘School Days” rang out strong. Mrs. Earl Flesher opened her home to the me mbers of the Criterion club when they again entertained their rushees at a tea. Grace Havlovic, their president, was a busy assistant hostess. . After going from tea to tea it made one wish he were English, the lovely tea tables and candlelight are always attractive. The Shakespeares entertained their rushees in the home of Mrs. Joe Hurt. The smiling laughter of Patsy O'Shea and charming personality of Peggy Northcutt complete the details of any party. Dinner on board ship and a show in the captain’s cabin at which the only invited guests were the Shakespeares and their rushees closed these girls rushing. The Triumvirates entertained their rushees at a Bunco Party where autumn colors and flowers were used to decorate the Murdaugh Hall private dining room . Then pink and green, pink and silver, and red and yellow ribbons flying on the beating hearts of some happy pledges. Memories of the ““Y-Mixer’’ which started with ‘‘Hello’’, ‘““What’s your name’’, ‘‘Where you from”. The residents of Murdaugh Hall were hostesses at the next dance, but now we were getting acquainted, and by the time the first all school party given by the Lasso-Stirrups came around the girls were asking the boys for the dates and doing their own tagging. They ae even got exclusive and as is their annual custom held their Manless Dance at the Girls’ Dorm. Memories of those most sociable gatherings on the campus when the departmental clubs meet. “The Sigma Tau Delta held open house for those students interested in writing. Miss Bottoms is their attractive sponsor; it is a temptation to be a writer to know her better. Les Chefettes, which to us means the hostesses of the campus, began their activities of the year with an up-to-the-minute style show. Les Metieres turned from Art to play as they were en- tertained at the home of Miss Howard with a picnic dinner. Tsa Mo Ga entertained with a true college party, enrollment, colors, names, cheers, pep songs and all. Page Two Hundred Fifty-five Memories of that night at home when the Arena men went into a cloud of smoke at the Faculty Cabin. An occasional sandwich and cup of coffee interrupted bridge games. The Senate men started their year by filling their presidential vacancy with a capable lead- er, Mark Hanna. OCTOBER Thanks for the memory Of things that were sentimental When old grads met at Central And chuckles when professors said, “this is only experimental.”’ How much fun it was. Thanks for the memory Of football goals Honor rolls And lovely queens at voting polls How lovely it was. Memories of Homecoming with teas and parties to honor our former graduates, and the crowning of Mary Louise Roueche as football queen. Her attendants were Jerry Campbell and Addie Louise Erickson. The class of 1912 were honored at the Alumni luncheon. ‘They were entertained in Mur- daugh Hall preceding the Homecoming football game. Alumnae of the Criterions were honored in the home of Mrs. C. W. Wantland. The Shakespeares entertained in the home of Mrs. Royce B. Adamson. Yellow chrysanthemums and red dahlias decorated the Dean's reception room where the members of Tsa Mo Ga poured tea for their former members. Memories of that hot chili, and oh, how good it tasted after the football game. It was served to the members and alumnae of Triumvirate when they met in the home of Miss Claire Cox. “Well begun is half done,’’ but the best came last when the fun of the whole day was sum- med up in the Homecoming dance. Hallowe'en was near which called for queer hats and ser- pentine. Among all the activities for the District Teachers Meeting and Homecoming, a few of the clubs managed to slip in initiation and pledging ceremonies; they included Tsa Mo Ga, Blue Curtain players, Tau Theta Kappa, and Triumvirate. NOVEMBER So thanks for the memories Of Thanksgiving vacation Feasts and recreation Motor trips, football kicks, and friendly ovations. How lovely it was. Memories of the tea for valedictorians and salutatorians given by Lamba chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma when they entertained in Murdaugh Hall. On the last day of the month the Alpha Phi Sigma’s initiated their new members as Novice, apprentice, and masters. Wood flew high and steaks disappeared quickly when the Senators and their alumni held their annual steak fry at the faculty cabin. Bob Capshaw's song was so bad he had to wash dishes. Memories of the first Freshman party, and what an affair! Under the direction of Miss Jones, Dr. Newby, and Dr. Beck, the party was a crowning success especially with the caps of bronze and blue. Dancing and contests were the entertainment of the evening. Imagine the embarrassment of the freshmen when they were called upon to tell the names and posi- tions of all the faculty members. Page Two Hundred Fifty-stx A The members of the Shakespeare said thanks to the pledges (a little ‘‘turn-table’’) when the pledges entertained with a buffet supper in the home of Harriet Clegern. Mr. West had memories when his former teacher, Mr. Frank LaForge was on our campus. A luncheon was given in honor of Mr. LaForge in the private dining room at Murdaugh. Memories of this day will always remain with Ernestine Weigand, Rose Martin, Ethel and Reta Ruth Von Thorn, Mary Wrany, and Hayward Florer who secured auditions. Memories of turkey’s gobbles to the tune of Fox Trots when the residents of Thatcher and Murdaugh Halls were hosts and hostesses at an all-school Thanksgiving party. William Gar- rison won the turkey given away during the evening. ‘‘Waddy’’ Watkins and his orchestra, the official furnishers of all Central’s dance music, played for the affair. DECEMBER Thanks for the memory Of festive winter balls Brightly lighted halls And Merry Christmas calls How lovely it was. Thanks for the memory Of Merry Christmas lore Holiday parties galore They might have.kept us from a class, but never from the ballroom floor, How lovely it was. “Never a dull moment’ in our memories wherein the seniors are concerned. We always have are fondest memories of our sponsors, those two ever-present helpers. Dr. Harbour and Dr. McCarell. They furnished huge red apples and nice sticky Christmas candy for our an- nual Christmas party. ‘‘Get the tallest tree in town,’ was the direction, and that one shown forth in all her glory in Pioneer Hall that night. Bells hung high and low, and the games and gifts were gay. Even the nightwatchman seemed pleased to be called in to open the door to the room where someone had so conveniently locked the wraps of those who had to hurry home to more Christmas parties at Murdaugh and Thatcher Halls. Memories of the Criterion Snowball dance when lovely Virginia Roueche (keeping up the family of queens) reigned on her throne, a gigantic snowball. Grace Havlovic and Earl Presley lead the grand march into the starlight of a snow scene. How lovely it was. Initiations for the year held sway, and Sigma Tau Delta and Kappa Delta Pi held initiation banquets. New pledges to Sigma Tau Delta were Marion Churchwell, Barton Gage, Quentin Garman, Paul Harding, and Drucilla Waas. Kappa Delta Pi initiated Misses Leta Davis, Margaret Halley, Margaret Horn, Myrtle Oak- es Jacobson, Blanche Nislee, Mary Schroll and Hazel Shinn. Bells rang, Christmas trees stood gaily decorated, and candies and sweets were passed when all Central ‘‘tuned’’ in on the Christmas spirit. All activity and departmental clubs had parties. A great many of them contributed food or toys to be given to others for Christmas happiness. The Nous Voila, French Club, were entertained in the home of Mary Agnes Wantland. Mr. and Mrs. Clevenger entertained for the seniors who are majoring in Commerce. ‘The decorations of their home carried out the note of the season. Page Two Hundred Fifty-seven Page Two Hundred Fifty-eight Senior Christmas Party Dr. Harbour and Dr. McCarell were the gracious hosts at the Seniors’ annual Christmas party which was an event of December 16. Pioneer Hall, where red bells and silver balls hung high and low, reflect- ed the gay holiday season. Dances and games were the diversion of the evening. Each guest found a red stocking filled with candies hanging on the huge lighted tree. Gifts were exchanged, and each senior left the party with a song in their heart and memor- ies that will never be forgotten. Society JANUARY We said goodbye to vacation Came back to the exams Oh how we had to cram But no tears—no fuss Hooray for us. And thanks for the memory Of balls that hit the net And showed us how to bet When other teams and Central met How thrilling it was. It has become the annual custom of President and Mrs. Moseley to hold open house on New Years Day for members of the faculty and friends of the college in Edmond. This year the rooms were decorated with roses, lilies, and snapdragons when they entertained these friends. A bouquet to those who made possible our two new dorms. The first anniversary of the opening of the dormitories was celebrated with a dinner in Murdaugh Hall, and a chat before the big open fireplace in Thatcher Hall. Memories of the first all-school social event of the new semester—the YMCA-YWCA party. [he theme was that of the pioneer, and games and dances of the frontier featured the evening's entertainment. Formal initiation ceremonies for eight Neophytes of the Red Red Rose were held in the main dining room of Murdzugh Hall. Memories of the W. A. A. Petticoat Prom.—the year’s second Manless dance when color- ful costumes of negroes, convicts, pirates, hicks, and pioneers were worn by the couples at the dance. Faye Hillard and Maxine Hubbard were dressed as Night and Day, Erlene Specht and Willa Evans as hicks, Ulala Harvey and Lenora Adams as South Sea Islanders, and Har- riet Clegern and Lois Wilson as Pierrot and Pierrette—these were all prize winners. FEBRUARY Thanks for the memory Of Valentine hearts Cupid’s darts When honor was paid to all sweethearts How lovely it was. Memories of the first honor students of the year. “They were honored at a reception giv- en by the Kappa Delta Pi. Miss Bottoms and Dr. McCarell were the speakers of the evening. The Social Science club entertained Miss Ursula Hubbard, of the Carnegie Foundation, at a luncheon in her honor. “s Pledges of Shakespeare and Criterions became full-fledged members this month. Both groups held their initiation banquets in Murdaugh Hall. A theatre party followed the Shakes- peare’s initiation services. [he Criterions honored their queens—Mary Agnes Wantland, Pearle Temple, and Betty Bausher at their initiation banquet. Memories of the all-school party sponsored by the boys and girls of the dormitories. Patri- otic decorations of red, white and blue adorned the dining hall in carrying out the motif of the season. Dances from the Waltz and Minuet to the Big Apple made fun for all. Page Two Hundred Fifty-nine Society MARCH Thanks for the memory Of windy afternoons When nature used her brooms Motor trips and weiner roast underneath the moons We did have fun And no harm done. At school no one had time to worry about blowing away with the March winds. A few brave hosts and hostesses, who were happy about the whole thing, overlooked the dust and dirt and continued to entertain and enjoy being entertained. The first wedding service to be held in the living room of Murdaugh was that of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Smith, two popular Centralites. She was the former Miss Fern Reed. ‘This event held the interest of the faculty, as well as the students, for many days. The guest list in- cluded President and Mrs. Moseley, residents of Murdaugh and Thatcher Halls, Central fac- ulty members, and the members of the Shakespeare club who assisted at the reception for the guests which followed the ceremony. We wonder if Fern and Gene haven’t started a sentimental tradition for Murdaugh Hall. “Just an old faculty get-together’? was the notice sent out for the Faculty dinner which was given in popular dining place of the campus, the private dining room in Murdaugh. With no serious purpose in mind the members of the faculty enjoyed their dinner, and an evening of entertainment. There will be many pleasant memories for those who attended the all-school party given by the members of Tau Theta Kappa. “‘Waddy’’ Watkins and his orchestra furnished the music for the event, and special features, new games, and old dances made us all have fun with no harm done. What a shame that mid-semester had to interrupt such a month of fun. APRIL Thanks for the memory Of veils of lovely lace Bonnets off the face When you joined the Easter parade in all your grace, How lovely you were. Thanks for the memory, Arenas, of a perfectly SWELL time at your annual Barn Dance. What fun it is to abandon formality out in the old barn, that the decorations in Murdaugh portrayed so well. Overalls and aprons and hay stacks on the floor made every one enter in- to the atmospher of fiddlers and square dances. No one would have a true memory of the C. S. T. C. campus in April without seeing in their old pictures that scene of green, green, grass, newly made leaves on the trees, and banks of snow-white bridal wreath. All this made the picture for the Easter Parade. Page Two Hundred Sixty Society Memories of the Shakespeare’s spring formal which was a Shakespeare Birthday Ball. The guests danced in the rose garden to the strains of music which came from the summer house and was played by the Shakespeare Swingsters. We wonder if Shakespeare didn’t look on with enjoyment from some place besides the place of honor just outside the summer house where his statue stood. A few modern Shakespeare players slipped in during the floor show—there was Romeo and Juliet, Titania and the Ass, Katharina and Petruchio. A Birthday Cake with 374 candles to honor William Shakespeare was cut by Miss Iris Greer. The cake was not a tasty morsel, but it did hold favors for the dancers. Memories of a lovely little brunette honoree—Mrs. Gene Smith, when Mrs. John Moseley entertained the members of the faculty and the Shakespeare Club at tea in Fern’s honor. She was still a blushing bride among the white blossoms which were used to decorate the Moseley home. It was an event in all circles, music, dramatic, and social , when pretty, blond Helen Jep- son came to our campus to sing. Her charming personality will long be remembered. “All I am or ever hope to be, I owe it to my Mother.” This well-known quotation was studied by the residents of the Dormitories, and the result was entertainment for Mother. The Mothers of many students spent the week-end on the campus. They were honored at a tea and dinner given in Murdaugh Hall. Page Two Hundred Sixty-one | ; ‘| Society MAY Thanks for the memory Of sentimental grounds Seniors, caps, and gowns Of marching with degrees from out dear Central’s bounds How regretable it was. We said goodbye as we parted From all the last events But we were intelligent students No tears—no fuss Hooray for us. Awfully glad I met you Cheerio and toodle-do And THANK YOU SO MUCH. Then all other events went into the background as the graduating seniors became the hon- orees at all the social events of the campus clubs and classes. The class was honored at a reception given by President and Mrs. Moseley. “This is an annual event which the seniors always look forward to and back upon. Juniors bid goodbye to the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior reception. Tea was served to the girls of the class by the American Association of University Women. This yearly event is given for the girls by the Edmond Chapter of this organization; this branch always gives thoughtful recognition to the girls of our campus. Memories of the supper at which our class sponsors—Dr. Harbour and Dr. McCarell—bid us goodbye. It was a delightful event given in the home of Dr. Harbour. Closing activities of the year were farewell breakfasts given to honor the members of the campus clubs who were too soon to become their alumni. May old acquaintance never be forgotten. Thank you so much. Page Two Hundred Sixty-two Twenty-fifth Anniversary EMMA ESTILL HARBOUR The outstanding event of the spring season of 1937 was the banquet given May 17, sponsored by the Senior Class, honoring Dr. Emma Estill Harbour on the 25th Anniversary of her coming to Central. Friends, former students, form- er presidents, as well as present, and the 1937 Senior Class gathered at Mur- daugh Hall to do honor to this beloved faculty member, who through the years has served Central well. Carl Fite, a member of the graduating class of 1937, presided as Toastmaster. The program consisted of speeches from Dr. Charles Evans, president of Central at the time Dr. Harbour came to the college; Su- perintendent E. H. Black of Bristow, as a representative of the student body at that time; former State Superintendent R. H. Wilson; President John O. Mose- ey and Dr. Fred McCarrel, also a Senior Class Sponsor, and Lee Murphy, a member of the Class of 1937. At the close of the program, Bob Trogdon pre- sented Dr. Harbour with a beautiful silver tray as a memorial of the happy oc- casion. At no time has there been such a true demonstration of the real feeling that people throughout the state have for Central and for this beloved faculty member who has taken such an active part in the growth and standing of the college.

Palms, ferns, and tall vases of pink roses formed a background for the bridal party in the main reception room. ‘The fireplace, banked with greenery and decorated with vases of pink roses, was topped by white Cathedral candles. Ropes of green and pink tulle formed an aisle through which the bridal party passed to the improvised altar, where the nuptial service was read by the rever- end A. C.. Hornbaker, pastor of the Christian church. While the candles were being lighted by Miss Mary Frances and Katherine Connor, who wore formal gowns of white net, members of the Shakespeare club sang the club song and Miss Mary Eula Wrany sang ‘‘O, Promise Me.”’ Miss Leona Hail played the Mendelssohn Wedding March for the recessional. An informal reception followed the ceremony, with Mrs. Marita Riggan, hostess at Murdaugh Hall, assisting in receiving the guests, these including Dr. and Mrs. John O. Moseley, members of the faculty, residents of Murdaugh and Thatcher halls, immediate relatives of the bride and bridegroom and their close friends. : Page Two Hundred Sixty-fiv Who's Who MARGARET O'SHEA Won the Freshman Scholarship award; President of the Shakespeare Club and has been Secretary, and a member of the club four years; President of Alpha Phi Sigma; National Secretary of Alpha Phi Sigma; Kappa Delta Pi; Secretary of Sophomore Class; Commerce Club; Accompanist for Boys’ Glee Club, Quartet and Chorus; Bronze Book Q ueen, 1937 and Band Queen, 1938.

Food for the average American family requires the expenditure of from 25% to 40% of the gross income. Home Canning greatly reduces the amount of money spent for food—thus permitting the saving of a considerable sum of money. The use of Kerr “’Self-Sealing’’ Mason Jars increases this saving because they eliminate mold and spoilage.
