On the preceding page: Ranger cheerlead- ers, decked out in splashy new garb, were ready to give all-out support to the year’s athletic efforts. From the top, they are Donna Riley, head cheerleader; Melodee Thomas, Nancy Ellis, Sharon Boruff, and Lynn Hammer. In the cold nights of winter, the lights of Jesse Dunn Hall came on early and oftentimes burned late for evening classes and students at study. On certain nights, the campus was almost as busy as during daylight hours. On a rainy day in the spring, Julia Graves, with umbrella at the ready, checks on the weather from the pro- tective alcove at the north entrance of the Fine Arts Building. and Joleta dorm party. “Oklahoma!”.

There’s Fun and Work From the time a student enters Northwestern, he becomes a part of its kaleidoscopic picture. He shares high moments of gaiety but learns, too, of the need for serious work. He makes new friendships, some of them permanent. He creates memories. many of which he'll always cherish. Hearty, contagious laughter erupts during a student assembly. First on campus in September were the freshmen, who arrived early for orientation and to enroll ahead of upperclassmen. Terry Mantz was one of the assistant residents helping newcomers get settled in Shockley Hall. Shown are Marion Moyer, Mantz, Jerry Hopkins, and Perry Pederson. Part of the orientation program was a mixer, into which most of the freshmen threw themselves with enthusiasm. The “bunny hop” got most of them going in circles around the fieldhouse floor. September Started Things September brings a new beginning for freshmen and a_ beginning again for upperclassmen. Enrollment, with attendant social events and freshman initiation, is, of course, a major series of events. This year, there was a million-dollar building program already under way to take note of. The football season brought the color and excitement of that sport. Students soon were settled into the semester’s routine of class- work. Barbara Mercer and Kathy Hubbart make sure their freshman beanies are adjusted to an acceptable angle. Sharon McCollum was one of many who found it well to make use of library study facilities. Workmen pour concrete for the expanse of floor, around which walls soon began to make the shape of the new library. eC Oe . a 4 a —— al: , a ce mt The girls stole part of the football players’ thunder by organizing a “powder puff” version of the game between freshman and upperclass women. Sponsored by the Women’s Recreation Association, the contest resulted in a 6-0 triumph for the freshmen. The captain of the winning team, Carol Hutcheson, breaks through here in a bid to tag ball-carrier Lorene Gardner. Others identifiable are Marjorie Feely, Corky Jewell, Marilyn Freeman, and Kay StahIman. In the rock-’em, sock-’em type of play typical of collegiate football, Ranger fullback Dallas Barnett (42) proved to be a hard man to stop for the Northeastern State College Redmen, as the Northwestern team turned in an early season win, 19-6. | October Meant Homecoming Time y a a) a] Homecoming was the big attraction dur- ing October. Color, excitement, pageantry, crowds, entertainment—and hard work— the students shared in it all. The drama Elizabeth Cole was in the title role, and Alice French department opened its schedule with “The was a principal player in “The Heiress.” Heiress.” and the annual faculty-student reception highlig hted a number of social occasions. Right: The big arch at the main entrance to Women’s Residence Hall was used to ad- vantage as the girls created this prize-win- ning display for Homecoming. j . my The 1961 Miss Cinderella, Nancy Ellis, puts the glass slipper on the foot of her successor, Vicki Fry, in a dramatic moment of the Cinderella Coronation at Homecoming. Other contestants are in the background. Right: Waiting along with about 20,000 others for the Homecoming parade were Roy Dennis, Jack Kippenberger, Bill Massey, Bob Stephens, and Don Sweat. Nancy Thomas shows her dormitory room and some trophies to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Thomas, Enid, who were on campus for Parents Day. Jokester friends credited Nancy Ellis with the tackle on this play that went out of bounds and into the crowd at the Northwestern-Langston football game at Langston. Cheerleader Nancy is being helped to her feet at left, while players and other spectators un- scramble. November Saw Progress November, in addition to Thanksgiving holidays, pro- duced mid-term grades—with some tests preceding. Edu- cation students were at work in a newly begun teacher aide program and took time out to note American Educa- tion Week. Northwestern won approval for a National Science Foundation summer institute in mathematics. On the sports side, football bowed out. and basketball made a beginning. Gerry Hendrick, one of the participants in a new teacher aide program, distributes workbooks to sixth grade pupils in Alva’s Washington Elementary School. He’s handing a book to Madolyne Lawson here. Northwestern students just beginning the teacher education program worked on a voluntary basis two hours a week with co-operating teachers in the Alva schools. December Was Cheery Month Much of December’s activity was related to Christmas— a choir concert, numerous parties, a special musical assem- bly—and the spirit of the season prevailed. a steady diet. Basketball was “The Spider” was produced on the Herod Hall stage, and a number of art exhibits were held. A busy month was cut short by yuletide holidays.

By the time his folks registered as sen- iors, Sammy, still making the enrollment tour with them, had grown into a 4%-year- old young man. January Gave a New Start Late-lighted dormitories and a notable step-up in study tempo signaled the beginning of final examinations before the end of the fall semester. Then it was time to start all over again. Spring enrollment set an all- time record. The new Education Center was put to use in what formerly had been Horace Mann Building, and students buckled down for the long semester ahead of them. This was the way out once a student had arranged all of his classes for the Dr. S. S. Stamper manipulates one of the control knobs on the |spring semester.

This is the south-side view. F ebruary Events Diverse Social events paid their respects to St. Valentine, the basketball season was played out, and the ending of winter began to be sensed. Religious Emphasis Week was ob- served, and the Ranger Follies was produced. As they had at times throughout the year, professional artists and en- tertainers visited, notably among them the American Jazz Ensemble. Flowers are presented to Cecelia Rose by her escort, Dale Valentine, just after Charles Fischer, who gave technical assistance in the program, Miss Rose had been named Queen of the Ranger Follies. visited backstage with John Eaton, pianist and one of the organizers of the American Jazz Ensemble. rh Jo Pettegrew and Don Brooks and nearly everyone else at a Sadie Hawkins Day ob- servance danced the limbo.

At left, Jan Fisher and Louis Ybarra talk with Mooreland seniors Jeanie Corley, Richard Kincaid, and Wanda Stubbert at a social studies display. March Activities Drew Crowds Hundreds of visitors were on campus in March for a science fair, a district music contest, and Senior Day. The speech and music departments scored an entertainment hit with “Oklahoma!”, and traditional social events were held. Campus building work moved steadily ahead. and the Baptists opened a new $70,000 student center. April Tempo Was Faster Activity picked up and, before the end of April, a feeling of the nearness of the end of the semester began to set in. A spring band concert, high school curricular contests, Aggie Day, and some other annual events were held. A first at Northwestern was the production of an opera, “Down in the Valley.” Track and baseball shared the sports headlines, the student senate organized for next year, and Greek Week was observed. It came time, too, for some now-or-never work on term papers, reports, and various other forms of study. Steve Allen was lodged in Birmingham jail in this scene from “Down in the Valley,” a folk opera. Abstract sets were de- signed by Charles Fischer. Piles of broken-up concrete, bulldozers, and dirt showed up in student pathways when landscape work began in connection with the campus building pro- gram.

W. Martin, Northwestern president, surveys progress being made in the million-dollar building program of the college. He stands before the north entrance of the new science hall. The President’s Message One has only to glance about the campus to see readily that this has been a year of great advance- ment for Northwestern State College. In many re- spects, our progress has been uniquely significant and of unusual proportions and is the fulfillment of long-standing needs and long-cherished desires for the institution. Our pride and satisfaction in the new buildings —and in other advancements that have been made this year—are equaled only by the pride and satis- faction we feel at seeing the educational growth of the young men and young women on our campus. Our enlarged and improved physical plant should provide a means for greater intellectual maturity and new levels of knowledge for our students. We hope you share our pleasure in the obvious progress of Northwestern, and we hope you interpret this progress as greater opportunity for you to be- come a more effective member of society. Sincerely, Liss Ay. Warted Jesse W. Martin President Lo ADMINISTRATION FACULTY-STAFF Responsibility for the over-all operation of the college and its program rests with the administration and the staff. Dedi- cation to that assignment is shown through conscientious ef- fort and successful results. Andy E. Clark, Jr., dean of instruction, explains to graduating seniors the plans for their part in commencement exercises.

DR. JESSE W. MARTIN Dr. Martin in Presidency Seven Years Dr. Jesse W. Martin, as president for the past seven years, has led Northwestern through one of the brightest periods of the institution’s history. Public regard for the college is high; the academic program has the best possible accreditation; and enrollment continued to set new marks at virtually every registration period. A major achievement in Dr. Martin’s administration is being realized this year in the completion of a million-dollar program. A public school administrator before com- ing to Northwestern, Dr. Martin has an educational background which includes a B.S. degree from Notheastern State College, an M.S. from Oklahoma State Univer: sity, and an Ed.D. from the University of Tulsa. 19 Andy E. Clark, Jr., dean of instruction, has been on the college administrative staff five years. He has a B.M.E., an M.Ed., and a professional diploma from the University of Tulsa. Administrative Responsibilities Are Diverse Varied duties vital to the college program are in the hands of administrative personnel. The dean of instruction is as- signed to the general supervision of all instruction, both gradu- ate and undergraduate. He leads in the development, improve- ment, and implementation of the curriculum, and takes care of numerous related tasks. The dean of students is charged with the administration and development of student personnel and the guiding of student affairs. The admission and registration of students, the keeping of academic records, and all work per- taining to those responsibilities are among the duties of the registrar. The bursar is responsible for financial records and the handling of college funds, plus other work in that regard. The dean of women oversees activities and organizations involvy- ing women students, and deals with matters pertaining to them. ea I [eu = S foal S pe = sa 2 oar ae oS nN _— is o as SS _ N — iS) is 3 o a) Se SZ INT ye) ee oe 6 A WE , CARMICHAEL ONNE Dean of Women MRS.

A Chrismtas party was brewing in Vinson Hall, not for residents but for chil- dren from the American Legion Home School, Ponca City. C. J. Conrady, Venetia Akers, and Fritz Nolting were among those helping to decorate the tree. 95 2 Faculty-Student _ | Reception Given Faculty members greeted students in a formal reception early in the school year, on October 4.

Punch Pours Freely Punch, by the hundreds of gallons, is consumed annually at Northwestern by individuals attending the numerous so- cial functions scheduled. The nature of the events may vary, but seldom is punch omitted from refreshment plans.

Vinson Hall Offers Variety of Activities Men living in Vinson Hall established associations and engaged in activities that made the residence hall much more than merely a place to live. Sports, both organized and in- formal, were major activities in which large numbers of dorm residents participated. Social events were carried out, with Parents’ Day and Christmas bringing two of the most noteworthy occasions of the year. The dorm council pro- vided leadership in conducting affairs of the residence hall. The major undertaking of the year for Vinson Hall was a Christmas party for children from the American Legion Home School, Ponca City. It was given December 12, 1962, and is planned as an annual event. An important part of the party was the opening of gifts purchased by dorm residents for the children. Participants are shown here immediately after this event. Standing in the rear are Jerry Lambertz, dorm vice-president; Chester Mason of the Home; Dr. J. W. Martin, Northwestern president; Ron Lemon, dorm president; Dr. Richard Caple, dean of students; Andy E. Clark, dean of instruction; Mrs. Annabell Griggs, dorm mother; C. J.

Campus Is Car-Conscious Auto registrations for the year showed that a large percentage of the students drove them. A look around the campus readily confirmed that as a fact. The new building program brought one prob- lem for auto drivers. While parking space was as plentiful as ever, it was farther away for some. In time, however, even those least inclined to walk became some- what adjusted to the conditions. A number of interesting conveyances showed up on campus during the year. Hot rod or bi- cycle, Model A or Cadillac, all were in- tended to facilitate student transp ortation with varying degrees of speed and comfort. From the start of new construction, campus traffic patterns were changed. Officer Everett Frazer backs up the information on a well-marked barricade west of the Student Center.

MUSIC — DRAMA ENTERTAINMENT A variety of cultural and entertaining programs presented by students, staff members, and professional performers fill a year-long schedule at Northwestern. For both those who participate and those who attend, the experiences are always interesting.

More thousands saw the Homecoming parade through downtown Alva. Parade theme this year was “Man, the Moon, and Music.” Many students were involved in float- building, and some kept late hours to get the jobs done. Students assisted in the staging of both the Cinderella Coronation and The Big Show, helped with a marching band contest held the same day as the parade. and, of course, turned out to cheer the Rangers on in their grid tilt. Delta Zeta’s “Moonlight and Roses,” top photo, was de- clared first-place winner in the beautiful float category. Riding the unit were Joyce Andrews, Donna Kirmse and Lena Smithson.

A lot of the amusement, drama, suspense, and, most of all, work goes on behind the scenes, out of sight of the audience. Anxieties are felt, nervous moments are shared, encourage- ments are voiced, and performances are commended. The atmosphere is never relaxed, even when it’s “Quiet, back- stage!” Unseen though it is, backstage is a vital and en- tertaining part of the theatre.

Ve Sports Activity Varies Intercollegiate sports may get the major attention in a college ath- letic program, but a lot of other activity also goes on among sports- minded students. Tennis, bowling, softball, basketball, golf, touch foot- ball, fishing, swimming, card games—the list goes on and on. The athletically inclined individual finds many opportunities for sports participation. Richard Craun lines up his cue for a shot on a Student Center snooker table, while Larry Hughes looks over his opponent’s pros- pects. These are well-used recreational facilities. i A not-so-strenuous game of dominoes is indulged in by, clockwise from the left, Don Tyson, Don Hoch, Walter Jindra, and Sam Jacoby.

Attending classes and studying are the largest part of that phase of college life, but there are related activities within departmental organizations and honorary groups and through special events.

Study Habits Differ Pursuing knowledge comes easier for some when study conditions are relaxed. Others find it to their academic advantage to take a more formal approach. All find it nec- | essary to study, in one form or anot her, for scholastic success. Study habits are as varied as the degrees of that success. Juanita Woodward, commuting from Fairview, found her auto a good place to study a bit between classes. _ An irrelevant idea occasionally may divert attention from studies when groups get together in the periodical room of the library, but mostly it’s serious work with a co-operative approach.

Year Is Historic ee Some of the most important work yet done in improving Northwestern’s classroom and instructional facilities came during 1962-63. A million-dollar building program was to be climaxed in 1963 with the completion of a new science building and a new library. An education center was de- | veloped in the Horace Mann Building. New equipment was added in different departments. An air of change and ad- et | vancement was evident throughout the year, and the end was instances, being carried out, and other ideas were taking shape. It was a year the college would look back on as a | ! not in sight. New plans for older buildings were, in some | | | key one in its history of progress. | One of several departments benefiting from the purchase of new equipment was industrial arts.

Business Students in Phi Beta Lambda The development of leadership and the creation of interest and understanding in the intelligent choice of business occupations were goals carried out in varied activities of Phi Beta Lambda in its third year at Northwestern. Open to all business students, the or- ganization met regularly for programs based on subjects related to business fields. Several members attended the state Phi Beta Lamb- da convention April 5-6 in Norman, and a typing team from the chapter here won first place in a contest conducted as part of the convention program. A number of annual awards were announced at a Phi Beta Lambda dinner May 17. Northwestern’s president, Dr. J. W. Martin, spoke at the awards dinner. Others shown at the head table are Shirley Nakvinda, Robert Jennings, and Miss Zelda Thomas. Kappa Delta Pi Adds Members Members of the organization and visiting speak- ers both participated in programs conducted in monthly meetings of Kappa Delta Pi, national hon- or society in education.

Graduation Day Was Approaching Graduation, itself a climactic occasion, was attended by some preliminary developments for degree recipi- ents. With the big day and, for some, their last final examinations yet ahead, the graduating students had some getting ready to do. There was time for levity, as when Rod Dunkin, Roy Dennis, Patty Reid, and Jack McBroom stopped off in the snack bar. The graduates also learned how and where to walk. Class President Floyd Robertson, followed by his wife, JoAnn, led the line of march. A time of elation as the hour of commencement nears is shared by Jim Pierson, DeAnn Pierson, Sondra Filson, and Rose Yoshida.
