A rtist Practice makes perfect. Carrying the burden of an Annual is no task to be scotfed at, but a place of no mean standing is gained, if the staff of editors succeed in putting out an Annual of quality. Wle, trusting in the truth of the above quotation, feel that we have made an improvement over the '13 Annual, both in amount of ma- terial and in quality. This is the fifth time that the respec- tive editorial boards have carried corrected and recor- reeted material to the print shop. 1Ve give credit for much of our success to the student body and the business men of Muskogee, who have helped us toward the end we are seeking. Believing that we have put out a better sample of our progress, our enthusiasm and our intellec- tual attainnients than our predecessors, and with hope of a greater progress in the eoniing year, we submit the 1914 t'Ci11EF to the judgment of our readers.

24 THE BACONE CHIEF OHATORICA L CLUB for their II11l0l1 speaking, deeided that an 01'Ql'iIlllZiltl0l1, for tl1e study of oratory, was needed. So tl1ey assembled and organized and now the Clllll is an entlinsiastie, work- ing' body of boys. Our chief object is to promote tl1e art of public speak- ing. XVe believe that orators are made as well as born, so we are busy making' them of our raw niaterial. Mneli l1as already been aoeoniplished. Some who have never spoken before i11 pnblie have broken the ice and now are beeoming efficient speakers. Exten1poraneo11s speech- es are 111I:'tdQ at our weekly 111eeti11g's. From this praetiee our members are gaining the ability to think readily while on their feet. WU: hope by tl1e work in the elnb to improve our literary society. A pla11 is now being carried o11t by which we aim to donate a set of books 011 oratory to tl1e College library. XVe do not tell of these aeeomplisliments simply to boast, but that tllQ ones who doubt the good of our elnb may be convinced that it is 21.11 excellent movement. Vwle who are the beginners of this organization hope that the Oratori- cal Club 1nay go on for many years and develop orators who will stand i11 tl1e most PI'OlHlllQ1'1t places in America. PAUL S. PHILPIN.
