He was formerly a resident of Okmulgee. ln September 1925 he expressed a wish that Classen's honor might grow proportionate to the honor reflected on it by each individual student. This year he remarked to a Classen student, One of the most amazing facts about Classen's glorious progress is that the growth is all-round. There is absolutely no 'lopsidednessd From the scholastic side the growth is well roundedg your library has been enlargedg also your science equipment. Interest has increased in debate, and new subjects have been added to the curriculum. On the other hand, your numbers have increasedg you have developed line sportsmanshipg and lastly, but not leastn, he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'iyou have made great strides in the athletic world. 4'Although you have few traditions to uphold, there is such vigorous activity in the present and such vision for the future. that traditions are being made now.

The faculty has been increased by one, namely Miss Margaret Lindsay. And the enrollment which is now 1,160 shows an icrease of 200 over that of last year. There have been over 250 new books added to the library for use in the English department. Literary maps and victrola records, that have been furnished for the classes, have added much to the interest of the courses. Last year a study of grammar was added to the regular courses offered by this department. The English department has cooperated with other departments in carrying out the general activities of the school as well as those of other institutions.

Winners in this contest were: Mildred Smith, who won the first ten-dollar prize and Evalyn Early, Virginia Chandler, Elly Anderson, .lune Peterson, Fae Rawden, Dorothy McKee, and Lucille Mann, winners of the second one-dollar prizes.
