oar Silver nniversary Scarab 0 Staff Speaks Your Silver Anniversary Scarab awaits your approval or your rejection as a lot of new-fangled folderol. It is not put together in the style of the usual college yearbook. Neither is it written in the old manner. It is semi-feature style throughout. There is little of the formal or stilted about it. Ir is, however, the record of one college year. ln this it is like other annuals. VVe have attempted to lighten its tone throughout. For instance we have eliminated, for the most part, tire- some histories of the many organizations both social and departmental, and have substituted merely the record of the school year just past. You may think we are poking fun at revered tradition, but we are not. We have given credit where credit is due, but we have made no attempt to give to half-dead organizations an appearance of great- ness. We give you an opportunity to get really acquainted with your faculty. We believe that Professor So-and-So is a personality, not just someone who has been attempting with more or less success to cram knowledge into our more or less unwilling heads. VVe have told you as much about your profs as space will permit. Our class sections are distinctly different. lnstead of a picture of john Iones with a simple list of activities, we have given you john Iones as you have known him and as you will remember him long after college days are past. lf Susie Smith is the extra-curricular activity in which he has been most interested, we see no harm in letting you know about it. VVe have given you your fellow students as you have known them. They are not just so many people, they are personalities with good and bad points, likes and dislikes, just like you. Believing that too much of the same thing palls up- on a reader, we have interspersed the more serious sections of your book with feature articles and feature pictures. We want you to enjoy your Scarab. We thought that we would like a yearbook like this, and since we are stu- dents just like you thought you would like it too. ilu We have made frequent use of cartoons throughout the book, because we wanted nothing stilted in it. As to the arrangement of clubs, fraternities, faculty sections, class sections, etc., we have atteiupted to place them in the most logical positions. Organizations which have grown out of the Liberal Arts department of the University, we have placed together. Then, we have placed those organizations which have grown out of the Fine Arts department together in another section of the book near the Fine Arts facultv section and the Fine Arts building picture. 1 The Greek-letter fraternities and sororities have been arranged alphabetically. We did not consider that the oldest group on the campus deserved first position, nor did we think the newest should be so honored, if indeed it should be considered an honor. Nor did we consider it our duty to attempt to settle disputes about which group really had been founded first. There are three fraterni- ties on the O. C. U. campus each of which claims to be the oldest. VVe did not care about that. The athletic section of the book is as nearly com- plete as we could make it. Complete records are given of all sports which had been finished at the time the Scarab had to go to press. We have placed them in the order of their relative positions on the sports calendar of the school year. Football comes first, then basketball, etc. So much for that Part of your yearbook. Now, just a word about it typographically. VVe have used the latest thing in type faces and in general typographic makeup. We wanted it to be pleasing to the eye. liinally, we did not expect to please everyone. We did want to satisfy as many of you as we possibly could. If you like your book, that's fine. We have done our best, and iuany are the hours we spent doing it. If you enjoy reading it half as much as we enjoyed writing it for you, you are a well pleased student body. Anyway, here it is. emuriam llllilnizt 322111 CEvtli11ia1111 1914 - - - 19315 C63 i
