The held must be surveyed Oil prospectors have always used some device for locating oil veins. Some geologists used the doodle-bug method while others used the early surveying instruments,which were not always accurate. The story is told that the driller who brought in the first wells in the Drumright area didn't want to move his equipment over a steep hill where the survey indicated the oil vein lay so he drilled where he was. Thus the discovery well was outside the present city of Drumright on the Frank Wheeler farm. Since that time, methods of drilling are more scientific. Geologists investi- gate all possible locations by studying aerial pictures, rocks, and fossils. They also study the surface for clues to what's underneath. If good indications are discovered. the findings are marked on a map. Next,seismic crews make small earthquakes with dynamite at thedifferent locations. If the shock waves they record indicate that oil is underneath, the information is turned over to the drilling crew. In much the same way, the FRESHMAN surveys the field of education. With the aid and guidance of teachers, parents, and upperclassmen, he decides what courses will give him the best training in the particular field in which he is most interested -...v-vw af'-an 'ra favs - ' 'f . e- , fm.: 1' , '- ' - , s 1. . - nfl, -f 'r . 50 2--' 46+-1..5 'W .-.M -riivfgee-iz-.-it 'fy f V Q 1 a - f W. +- ' - - --- - - '. -' - N - t , , , - ga. 1, . .M - - ' -P ,f - ' , -wa--f l - ,- - ' '-Q '. .-1f'- .-w,- eau-S ' . 3 A V , A 1-.Y Z 'V it 151' jqgpmn.,-.-. , .- .wsu f.- j- ,- I,--' V, .fsjf .,..Q'f?.:'
