The pages are in the seasons of a college year - FALL, WINTER, AND SPRING. FALL . . . it brings to mind the Freshmen, their orientation to Drury. You, the Freshmen, met the faculty and got acquainted with your counselor. You adjusted to dorm life and made friendships that will last through more than iust this first chapter of college life. Extra-curricular activities claimed your time . . . . you were beginning to know. This is the Fall, the Freshmen, the beginning. With WINTER . . . the year is well on its way. You Sophomores and Juniors' have adjusted, you know your way around, the mid-mark is reached. You've played and cheered at basketball games, you've won and lost together, you've voted for queens, a Joe College, you've lived together. Winter . . . the year is well on its way. And now SPRING . . . the end of a college year. Time for Sneak Day, river parties, torchlight parades, elections. The time for formals . . . and finals. The time for Seniors, and graduation. The end of a college year, this is the finale. Altogether, these are the people, the places, the experiences of l953. We, the staff, can only hope this Sou'wester serves you as a record of these FLEETING MOMENTS. Foreword Dedication annual staff is proud to dedicate the 1953 Sou'wester to Mrs. Charles Connie O'Connell. Mrs. O'ConneIl has been on the Drury Staff for four years, fulfilling the capacity of Student Union Director. She has charge of the CX and the bookstore, and with the students and faculty in mind has worked for improved facilities in the Student Union Building. Because she is concerned with the welfare of the students and faculty on Drury Campus and be- cause she has been a friend to all, the 1953 Sou'wester is dedicated to Connie. - A S.- :Yi U it --lun: Illllli L1 3 .

The leg workers and the brain workers. The statt for this year was made up of a board of editors, with Betty Sue Chapman pushing her blue pencil as chairman and doing paste-up. The staff ran Jim Hoskins, Carlee Claxton, Margie Clayton, and Carol Boehmer ragged getting information for copy. Pat Jones was kept busy arranging pictures, while Ken Munch breezed in and out worrying about men's sports. The ribbon on Viv's First Row: Betty Sue Chapman, Carlee Claxton, Pat Jones ,ypewrifer was pounded to shreds by Second Row: Della Faber, Jim Steinberg, Jim Hoskins, Ken Munch, Carol Boehmer his , Della Faber who fouled up the copy. Jim Steinberg, who now has rubber cement in his veins, did paste-up. Jack Edmiston, Cecil Keen, Ken Munch, and Sothern Stu- dios took pictures. The statt doesn't know how Charley Huddleston got in the picture, but he was usually around to run errands. Jack Edmiston pinched pennies as Business Manager, and-the staff ended the year with the Sou'wester Name Band Formal produced by the All-school Social Committee lbless their heartsl. P.S. The Sou'western staFF couldn't attend the Formal as they were still trying to paste the yearbook together. Business staff Carmen Olson, Larry Davis, Karen Compton, Jack Edmiston -140- Mf?
