So, without tears or remorse, we write these lines in fond remembrance of Professor Ulysses J. Griffith, for twenty-four years head of the Department of English at Northwestern. His well lived life ended on January 22, 1938. Page Eighteen 9 3.8 Wesley Beck A. B. Assistant Director Afton Bilby of Athletics. AB SA. Assistant Professor Ruth Boyce of Education. BS.

The mid August sun rose hard and sharp, shattering the slightly cool morn- ing air and leaving a hollow, flat sensation around the diaphram of a sleeping youth. Not hungrily he dressed and downed a cold glass of milk, then, with a long summer day before him he puttered about the house—glancing at the papers, checking over the latest magazines. He even moved the marker of a novel over one chapter. But that was not enough. He was lonesome and that constant glit- tering summer sun didn’t help matters. All day he moved from one place to another like a tumbleweed rolling list- lessly from one side of a small garden patch to the other. He needed room! The crash of the hard sun into the western hills seemingly inspired the fellow. Getting dad’s keys he jumped into the family gas-wagon. Now 40, now 30, and then 60 and 70 as he struck the highway. The clock on the dash crept over to ten o'clock and a beacon flashed against the wind-shield. Ah! Against the star-lit sky stood the Halls of Northwestern nestling back into the brow of the darkened campus, softened with shrubs and trees. There was stolid Jesse Dunn, the tower of Herod hall, Wyatt gym, Old Science, the tennis courts, and Horace Mann building. Yea, just as he had left them in May. A turn around the square and a quick drop-in to see who was at the Ark. Slowly, methodically, he wheeled homeward. Reassured ,satisfied. The next morning the sun wasn't so harsh, nor the day so long.

OF 1938 {oar NOAH BUILT THE FIRST ONE By Ross Strader ‘‘Meetcha ‘tha Ark?” he ventured. “Oke, “bout nine,’’ she murmured demurely as they parted for an evening meal or for countless reasons why people should part and then meet one anoth- er at the old campus hangout ‘bout nine in the evening. Don’t look for Ripley's by-line but actually, there are a few students who've never been inside the Ark. No sir! Their mothers won’t let them go inside— but then, there are some men students who live there. True, they leave to take their girls home, but if they linger on the front steps awhile they can come back for an early breakfast. To a pretty little freshman co-ed from Podunk, the Ark is a symbol of the college bright-lights, and it lures her away from her readin’ and writin’—they don’t teach arithmetic to first year co-eds here—and it's a place where those gay college fellows loaf, who might—well, they might notice her. To a seasoned collegiate imbiber of the pint, the Ark is just a place to stagger in and out of. A place where there is music, a friendly spirit, and a jovial at- mosphere. A place where he is unmolested and can sober up with—vwell, with whatever people use to sober up. But to the masses, that upper ninety some per cent, the Ark is a place where you go to see who's there, and where whoever’s there is there to see who's there, who's there to—— It’s a place with a swell manager and operated by a swell bunch of students, A place that will always remain in the memory of every Northwestern student. A place of color, and of friends. Se clinking your coke glass with mine, ‘‘Here’s to the Ark.’’ Page Sixty-four a SSS aS SS [ The RANGER | ile i 9328 GERNA LEE STAMBAUGH Ranger Football Queen RUTH HATFIELD Ranger Band Queen Page Sixty-five —a celebration of the return of friends.

The Rangers, sparked by Ensminger, Newsom, and Mitchell won top honors in the collegiate conference in 1935 and 1936 and tied for second place in 1937. In 1938 by virtue of winning twelve games and losing only two they be- came co-champions with the Central Bronchos. Three Rangers, Ensminger, Newsom and Mitchell were placed on the mythical all-conference team and En. sminger was named center on the all-state team. ‘The Rangers closed the basketball season with a two weeks’ trip to Mexico City where they played a five game series with championship Mexican teams. ‘They won three out of five of these tilts. 1937-1938 SCHEDULE Texas Tech. 3] Ran gers 4] At Oklahoma City Arkansas U. 45 Rangers 44 At Oklahoma City West Texas 40 Ran gers 43 At Oklahoma City Oklahoma City U, 38 Ran gers 39 At Oklahoma City Northeastern 29 Rangers 39 There Okla.

Re-organizing at the beginning of the fall term of this year, the lettermen have proved to the student body that this club has the most rigid entrance rules of any club on the campus, as it is necessary to letter in some sport in order to become a member. The “‘N” Club’s major social function of the year is known as the Ranger Round-up, which usually includes a banquet followed by a dance. The first year letterman receives a Jacket as an award. At the close of the individual’s eligibility, he has the choice of either a blanket or a jacket with ser- vice stripes.

Two years ago the women of Northwestern, inspired by the comradesh ip and friendliness they had experienced in participating in sports together, began to feel a need for a more organized program, and as a result thirty-eight women met and organized the Women’s Athletic Association of Northwestern. ‘The organization has grown and developed until it is recognized as one of the out- standing groups on the campus. Today it is affiliated with the Women’s Division of the National Athletic Federation. The Women's Athletic Association has for its goal the giving to each young woman in college an opportunity to form good habits of recreation and wise use of leisure time. During the year of 1937-38 the organization sponsored the following intra- murals: Team Sports:—soccer, basketball, tenikoit, volleyball, and _ baseball. Dual activities: tennis, badminton, table tennis, shuffle-board, quoitennis, horseshoe, handball, and archery. Awards of pins and sweaters go each year tc members active in sports. Recognition is made of hiking, campcraft, stunts, rhythm, officiating, and such leisure time activities as horseback riding, golf, skating, bicycling, and swimming. At Christmas time and near St. Patrick’s day the gym was the scene of gayety as college students participated in folk games led by W. A. A. girls. The money from the Folk Parties went toward financing the Play Day for girls in high school held on Northwestern’s campus, April 30.

Shake- speare was writing more than poetry when he said, ‘All the world’s a stage, and the people in it are merely actors.’ “[hat’s philosophy. But there are those who have accentuated “‘playboy’’ instincts and must give vent to their feelings in ways more dramatic than ordinary existence. These are the people in Little Theatre. It's not that actors live in a world of make- believe, but that they desire to enrich the drama of their own lives with the drama of a whole world that has lived a thousand times longer than they have. ‘Theirs is the experience of the centuries. But, there’s something of the commonplace about even such a ‘“‘playhouse’ as this. ‘There are long hours of gruelling rehearsal, there are frantic searches for ‘props’, there are the lights, the sound effects, the stage setting, the decor- aticns, the advertising, the ticket sales, and a thousand and one other things to see about. It’s just one big round of getting things together—and keeping them there. ' No, it’s not Utopia. It’s not even pleasant—at times, but it’s life—and its fun, so we enjoy it. We hate to see the last curtain as much as you do. Page Eighty-two [ The RANGER [ | tt 6 8 TS ALPHA PSI OMEGA ; ys First Row—Mrs. Mabel Murphy, Lois Jean Anderson, Edna Donley, Mrs. E. B. L.

Alpha Psi Omega is the honorary dramatic fraternity at Northwestern. It has the purpose of encouraging and promoting the highest standards of dramatic art. Membership gives one professional distinction, particularly as a_ teacher of dramatic art. Members of Little Theatre who meet the requirements of the Grand Cast are eligible for membership. Each quarter, professional meetings ar held. The group sponsored the production of “Little Women” on July 22, 1937. The national organization was founded August 12, 1925 in Fairmont State College, Fairmont, W. Va. ‘There are 150 active casts at the present time. Gamma Rho Cast was established at Northwestern May 4, 1931. The Cast Director is Edna Donley; the Business Manager, Durward Bor- den; and the Faculty Director, Almo Lois Rodgers.

Rush, a full program of forensic ac- tivity is provided for those who are qualified and interested in this particular field. For the past eight or nine years Northwestern has sent representatives to practically all of the major tournaments in this section of the country. The National Debate question for this year was, ‘Resolved, that the Na- tional Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration of all Industrial disputes.” In addition to preparing themselves to debate both sides of this proposition, the squad has done active work in discussions before civic clubs, organizations, and various groups in the community. Forensics, which includes debate, oratory, and extemporaneous speaking, is the only form of intercollegiate academic competition in which Northwestern participates. A glance at the trophy cases in Jesse Dunn hall gives some evi- dence as to the extent and success of this competition.

Organized in 1913, the fraternity now contains over 10,000 members. The Delta Chapter, which was organized at N.S. T. C. in 1922 has been quite active in forensic activities. During the past season Howard Harpham placed first in extemporaneous speaking at the Chickasha tournament. He and his colleague, Wayne Quinlan placed third in debate at the same contest. J. D. Foliart and John Smith were winners of third place in the Durant tournament. The National Convention of Pi Kappa Delta is held every two years. [his year's convention was held at Topeka, Kansas, April 17-22. In connection with the debate tournament in which Wayne Quinlan and Howard Harpham participated, there was held the First National Student Congress to which Ira W. Painton was sent as one of the three Senators from Oklahoma, with John Smith serving as a member of the House of Representatives. O. W. Rush, debate coach and sponsor of the Delta Chapter, is Governor of the Oklahoma Province. Page Etghty-seven er |] 1938 THE RANGER STAFF of The RANGER 1) JOHN W. V. SMITH PERRY IRONS Edttor-tn-Chief Business Manager We do not say that the 1938 RANGER is the creation of a genius: possibly it is not the work of an artist; and we doubt if it is the best book that has ever been produced. But we are quite positive that it is good. Regardless of the merits—or defects—of this book, the staff is mighty proud of it. We have had the pleasure of reviving a production that has been dor- mant for seven years. With the exception of the magazine annual which was published last year, the RANGER has not appeared since 1931, It is our sincere hope that, after leafing through the present book, you may conscientiously say, ‘““Not resurrected.

A large increase in the enrollment was shown this year, a manifestation of the increased interest in the musical organizations. A large number of new instruments were purchased by the college to be used by students who had no instruments of their own. A library of works by classic and modern composers is at the disposal of the orchestra, and the group looks forward to continued growth and finer musician- ship next year.

Kappa Delta Pi is an Honor Society in Education with one hundred fifteen institu- tional and three alumni chapters widely scattered over the United States. It has a national bi- ennial convocation which was held this year in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Miss Jean Holland represented Delta Eta Chapter. Members are selected from the junior and senior classes in the college, the fifteen per cent ranking highest in scholarship being eligible. The society has had the effect of stimulating efforts in scholarship and has spent a very prof- itable year, meeting once a month with programs consisting of discussions on foreign relations, government—-past and present, book reviews, and similar topics.

K. Wadley as faculty adviser. Its purpose is to promote discussion and understanding of the problems which must be solved before a peaceful society can be attained. The Northwestern club is a branch of the national organization under the auspices of the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace which supplies books for the I. R. C. library and sends prominent speakers to the Regional conferences. It meets bi-monthly for informal programs in which student and visiting speakers and members of the club discuss world problems.

Front Row: _Uh-er-primarily, the aim of the approximate thirty Wranglers is to emit sounds which might be classified in the category of stimuli to stir sportsmen into action and carry them to greater physical accomplishments. A Wrangler must inevitably be a rugged individual, else he could not endure the orientation and initiation processes, the major part of which is made up of a series of direct blows, of spec- ified paddle intensity, placed swiftly and scorchingly upon the nether extremity of the subject —the subject of course forming an enjoyable acute angle by grasping both ankles firmly. Concretely, the Wrangler is a rough, swaggering fellow, but there are times when he exhibits traits which might be ruled as admirable. He often serves as an official during campus celebra- tions and he is always on hand for sports contests. Finally, he sponsors an annual spring dance and it is then that he stands at the top of the social ladder, swaggering and nonchalant in evening apparel. Middle Row: Yea, Prof., this hop is held each spring and about forty, or fifty of ‘em get the best lookin’ fems on the campus and truck over in Varsity hall. But the day following, he is back into that comfortable red jecket—the same swaggering, wrangling individual who leads the life of a pep clubber and—enjoys it.

This organization, which is now under the direction of Mr. J. T. Lavin, provides active participation and drill for college girls who are interested in this particular phase of student life. ara And its an active bunch of girls. Most any time of :the day —or night—one is apt to hear a rat-a-tat-boom—boom, with a few bugle toots thrown in for good measure. It comes from over somewhere in the vicinity of the gym. Of course, to add a bit of spice, there are parties, Tag Days, and trips around all over the country. Wichita, Enid, Cherokee, Mooreland, and numerous oth- er towns have received visits from the Corps. A nice bunch of girls—tlearning a lot—and having a swell time.

Debating Club In 1907 a small group of young men formed an organization for the pur- pose of training themselves in the art of debating, public speaking, and parlia- mentary law. Soon the name of N. S. N. Debating Club became known in collegiate circles throughout Oklahoma and in neighboring states. In recent years the interest of the club in intercollegiate debating has been lessened by the organization of a college debate squad, to which most of the members of the club belong. The major purpose of the club has now become the discussion of public questions and the encouragement of public speaking among members of the student body. One of the major ways by which student interest in speech work is promot- ed is an annual Freshman Oratorical contest, in which any male Freshman may compete. Competition in the contest this year was keen, with final honors go- ing to Victor Capper, Donald Harvey and Lewis Cleveland.

Delta chapter annually sponsors a full program of activities, including the observance of Founders’ Day and Mothers’ Day, a Christmas Party, and a birthday party honoring the estab- lishment of the chapter, as well as publishing each; fall the Student Directory. ‘The Deltas also sponsored one of the best received chapel programs of the year in ‘The Pot Boils’, .a one act comedy. As an encouragement to thorough scholarship among its members, the Delta chapter annually awards a loving cup to the girl having the highest scholastic ranking. This year Mildred Sim- on was presented this trophy for the second time. The next national Conclave of the chapters of Delta Sigma Epsilon which will be held in Cincinnati in 1939 celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the organization.

The school has been organized with two major objectives in view. The first is to give children the most progressive and ideal educational opportunity that is to be had. ‘The second is to give college s tu- dents being trained to teach, an opportunity to make needed adjustments before entering the teaching field. Classes in Band, Public Speaking, Social Studies, and Physical Education have for one of their purposes the furnishing of an opportunity for making so- sial adjustments. Free activity is invoked. Pupils are encouraged to express themselves. Functioning as a teacher training unit the demonstration school proposes to present a normal, wholesome teaching situation. Progressive methods and live subject matter in keeping with real life experience is emphasized. “Thorough preparation, careful planning and good classroom management is stressed. The demonstration school is housed in the new “Horace Mann” building which was completed the latter half of the school year 1936-37.

Miller Vernon Hull Lucille Cunningham Jack Sidman Wilbur Ricord Page One Hundred Seventeen 153-3 +O Long, Long Ago An old man rose from the table and as his mate began to rattle the dishes he turned toward his den to stretch himself in the big leather chair before the fireplace. He stroked the head of his old bird dog as he scanned the evening headlines and then started searching through the pockets of his jacket for the the cherry-stemmed Meerchaum pipe. Slowly the old Dean looked from table to chair, and from smoking stand to mantle. Ah, there it was—on the mantle. Almost nimbly he reached for the pipe, but he faltered a bit and a book tumbled to the floor. After the pipe was lighted and smoke curled lazily toward the ceiling, he picked up the book which had fallen from its shelf and glanced at the cover. Al- though scratched and torn he could still make out the title, ““R-A-N-G-E-R 1938”. ‘Twenty-two years. By gum, that was a long time ago. The old fellow leaned back in his chair and regarded the annual of ‘38 close- ly. As he dreamed of students, of classes and friends, his wife came into the room and, glancing over his shoulder, she too read the title. Seating herself on the arm of his chair, they turned the yellowed pages together. Now turning, now hesitating—they reminisced. They grew sad or laugh- ed as the relived Northwestern's 1938, happily recalling familiar faces of stu- dents and faculty members. _ As the last page was turned the old Dean shook the ashes out of his pipe and exclaimed, ‘Ma, it’s not so bad getting old when you've got something like this to help you remember away back when—why, even Mr. Ward got around without a cane in those days.”’ Page One Hundred Eighteen : [ The RANGER [ pare 19 3 8 (es Curlee Suits Stetson Hats Tanner Brothers’ Clothing Co., one of Alva’s oldest firms, selling the Best Nationally Known Lines of Men and Boys wearing apparel to be had,— Hundreds of Students have graduated in our suits and furnishings.

BREAD AND BUTTER Three students with books in arm chatted busily as they left the bordering sidewalk and turned between the big brick corner posts and started for classes on yon side of Herod Hall’s front door. There not being room for three people to pass on one side of the tall lamp post stationed in the middle of the walk, one stu- dent was forced to part from the other two and walk on the op- posite side—muttering as they passed the post, ‘Bread and But- ter. “Ain't people funny?” ‘They say Bill always keeps his word.” ‘He has to.

WEBSTER A college education is that which enables a fellow to get a job as secretary to a fellow who never went to school at all. A vegetarian is a horse doctor. Worry is the interest people pay on trouble before it comes due. Mussolini is a patent medicine. A kiss is a noun, though often used as a conjunction. It is never declined—it is more common than proper and is used in the plural and agrees with all genders. A quorum is a place to keep fish. A bachelor is a selfish brute who has cheated some worthy wom- an out of a divorce. Nero means absolutely nothing. Public speaking is a dramatic art and has nothing to do with thinking. Homer is a type of pigeon. Blank verse is the result of a poet putting his whole mind into his work. Culture is nothing but studied indifference. A mugwunmpp is a person educated beyond his intellect. Rouge: the pink of perfection. Intuition—the strange instinct that tells a woman she is right, whether she is or not. Page One Hundred Twenty-five et The RANGER a) 1938 Ati Last Of all words in the English language the most maligned is the word ‘line’: When we line up all the implications it is really quite a line. For instance: The Wranglers and Zippers, as well as some of our athletes, are majoring in ‘sidelines’. Practically every girl on the campus is taking a course in ‘‘waistlines’’. (It is reported that some of the fellows are takiing this by correspondence and doing their homework-on front porches or parked cars—af- ter sundown). Prof. Rush, Dean Percefull, and Prof. Bush, although they do not anticipate a plumbing career, have worked out advanced degrees in ‘pipe’ lines. Cooper West, Cecil Robison, and some of the other “‘ball and chainers”’ have discovered that the little woman is taking a full course in the “‘line’’ of clothes. But here's the real point. Regardless of interests, desires, likes, or dislikes, an Annual Editor can concern himself with only one line—the deadline. It hounds him day and night. Like a shadow it hovers over him as _ he eats, sleeps, walks, or talks. It’s apt to goad him in the back just in the middle of— most anything. It’s a slave driver, it’s tough, it’s stubborn, it’s unflinching, and it's immovable—but we beat it, by Cracky. Here's the book. So, to the Editor of the’39 RANGER. ‘Beware! The ‘deadline’ will get you if you don’t watch out.” —JOHN W. V.
