Student Council by Louise Parker — I shall never forget a statement I once read in a speed test. It concerned a man who had been asked to count the bricks in a certain building because of an argument in which the company was involved. The man, who was undoubtedly quite surprised, said, “You want me to count them one at a time? The answer was, Well, that's the way they were laid, wasn't it? Everything is built one brick at a time. The Student Council, which was organized only last year, is a good example of this. Only a few bricks can be laid in a year, but this year of work has laid the foundation and we hope it is one upon which the coming students may build for many years. In the spring of last year a group of people began thinking of a Student Council at Northwestern. But these people did more than just think about it, they began making investigations of other schools. Finally, it was decided that a Student Council on our campus would be a good thing. Class meetings were called and each class elected two members, a boy and a girl, to help draw up the Constitution. The representatives elected were Nellie Burchfiel, Justin Bradshaw, Jamie Carol White, Dean Simon, Juanita McClaflin, Ralph Clifford, Hallie Morgan, and John B. Doolin. The teachers who helped were Dr, Morris, Dr. wadley, Mr. Bush, Mr. Cameron, and Miss Holland. Nellie Burchfiel was elected chairman, and then began several weeks of good hard work and much debate about the different features of the Constitution. After the Constitution was written and approved, the members were elected by the various classes. And so--a Student Council was installed on our campus. The members elected were to serve the rest of that year and the following year. The Student Council helps the college officials and takes care of some of the minor details, such as the setting of dates and the approving of parties and dances. This year, it helped the college and city with the Dedication Services, is sponsoring the Carnival and magazine, which is the first Annual of an y kind since 1930. ! Of course, the Student Council is young and has made mistakes, but it has set a basis upon which future Councils can build, and in | time, if each brick is laid carefully, it. should be a very worthwhile MEsiaehe ie organization.

Ye La AU te THE SPIRIT OF NORTHWESTERN by Ea Aud The opening of the Cherokee Strip within a few hours populated a great prairie land with a courageous, determined people. Northwestern State Teachers College is a true product of these hardy picneers. A bill creating the school was signed by Third Territorial Governor William C, Renfrow, about midnight on March le, 1897, James E, Ament, an Illincis educator, was appcinted president. The cornerstone for the first building, Administration, was iaid on July 1, 1898, Plans for this building were drawn up by Joseph Foucart, a native Frenchman, Its general outline was that of an old Norman castle. In Architectural design and superior werkman- ship, it was in advance of any other school building in the South- west. In June, 1906, a bill was signed by Fresident Theodore Roosevelt appropriating $50,000.00 for the erection of a Science , Holl. In 1918 a palatial president's home was erected on the campus | ay at a cost of approximately $15,000.00. | Been Se 4 $50,000.00 gymnesium was built in 1919, The seating capacity of the gymnasium is about fifteen hundred. In 1923 Herod Hall | | Auditorium, a large structure costing $100,000.00 was erected. This i naeee. building also contains nine classrooms, Pore onl Northwestern was one of the most modern teachers colleges in the Southwest until the destruction of the historic old Administration building by fire on March 1, 1935. This was an irreparable loss in eyes of the old settlers, but the fighting spirit of Cklahome's citizens asserted itself ond immediate action was taken to secure its replacement. A totel of $545,000.00 was obtained for the erection of Horace Monn Hall and mammoth Jesse Dunn Hall, named in honor of Bihar he one of northwestern %klahoma's errly settlers. | Ancient § Northwestern stands to-day «as a monument to the progressive Meer, spirit of Oklahoma's early settlers. ie? wai a eae RO mR em RE DINE WITH aN OLD aL- .
