Soul of an rtist by rank Collins Member Ostrrzleon Literary Society Wfalt Carter was self-admittedly the strongest man in Oklahoma county. The ha1'dness of his muscles was ex- ceeded only by the adamant quality of his heart. Con- science, to him, was only a word defined by Noah Weln- ster. W2llf7S proficiency with a revolver was remarkable. He was the proud possessor of a glitering aray of cham- pionship ribbons which he rubbed carefully once a week. The only thing in the world that could change his granite heart to a mellow sandstone was the bonny face of Myrtle Willet. My1'tle was a waitress with yellow hair, that she was considering changing hack to platinum, and feet that could span railroad ties. The most brilliant element of her con- versation was a kittenish giggle. But, to Wlllf, she was the essence of loveliness. Then Willt discovered Myrtle was consorting with a shoe salesman. Walt hovered about their rendezvous for weeks, the canker of jealousy digging always deeper in his heart. One night he took his favorite revolver with him, Wlien his rival appeared, Wzilt took aim and fired. He was shocked to observe that the only apparent damage was that the manls jaunty straw hat whirled from his head. Scarab Staff CContinued from page 215 of the opening page. Van Slayden, southpaw pitcher for the Bugs, did the full page of the caricatures of the baseball team. Also he drew the caricature of UBear,' Rice. The class editors are Eleanor Looney, seniorg Norman Glass, juniorg Nfargaret Mitcliell, sophomoreg and Harry Roberts, freshman. All have given their best in their own inimitable style. Virginia Estes as organizations editor has been given a chance to use her journalistic talents in the way that pleases her the most. She has been most efficient. Nlary Virginia Elliott is in charge of the sororities and fraternities, and has written an unbiased and good section. The section devoted to the student administration was written by Robert lX4ench, an excellent writer in spite of the fact that he is a science major. Paul Bennett, next year's Campus editor, wrote up the faculty section. This part also is written in a unique style. Stanley Pate, sports editor, has covered all the sports thoroughly and was most prompt with his copy. Phil Dessauer with his sketchy and subtle features helps to make the book a record of comedy along with achievements. The publications section is written by Norman Glass, newly elected student council president. Walt fired again and this time saw his target crumplc to the sidewalk. When the policeman arrived panting on the scene, Walt held out his gun, his ten-gallon hat drooping dis- consolately over his face. He impassively watched the handcuffs snap on his huge wrists. Ar the station, he broke a dull silence only to supply his name and address. He seemed in a morose stupor. ln the cell during the days before the trial, he sat limply on his cot, his hands locked on his knees. He let the bristle grow unmolested on his leathery cheeks. Dur- ing meal times, he picked apathetically at his food, disdain- ing to enter into the banter of the other prisoners. When addressed directly, he would stare hlankly at his inquisitor, then ignore him entirely. Everyone in the jail was interested in him by this time and watched his every mannerism. They observed that occasionally he would shake his head back and forth in a pitiful bewilderment. Even the hardened criminals felt for the sorrowing man. At last, his body was wasted to the point of emacia- tion. The officials, alarmed, persuaded Myi'tle to come and assure Walt that she forgave him, that he must perk up, must face his trial like a man. VValt only glared at her when she edged into his cell frightening poor My1'tle who had been preening and basking in her late publicity. She tittered nervously. Gee, Walt, lim awful sorry, she stammered. L'You shouldn't ought to have done it but I forgive you. You gotta--U Wtilt lurchcd to his feet. Say, you don't think l'm pininl about that?l' he bellowed. Well-T' said Nlyrtle coyly. All-lell- said Walt. HThat ainlt it. WTIHCTS eatin' me--I missed ,im the first time! 1889 1936 'TOM ns Olelalaormzu Newton Avey Agency General Inmranee . 2II Colcord Bldg.

Board of Publications, a joint student- faculty group, supervises the official publications of the university and selects the executives of the student publi- cations, The Campus, weekly newspaper, and The Scarab, yearbook. Traditional members of the board are the editors and business managers of The Campus and Scarab, the presi- dent of the Student Council, and five faculty members ap- pointed by the president of the University. Faculty members this year were Prof. W. P. Atkinson, head of the journalism department, Howard Thornton, journalism instructor, Prof. Peter W. Swartz, business manager of Scarabiag and Prof. E. M. Castleberry, who served as chairman of the board. Student members were Milclrecl Thompson, Scarab editor, Kieth I-lefley, Scarab business managerg I-li Doty, Campus editor, A. G. Meyers, Campus business manager, C235 and Qrville Kline, president of the Student Council. Miss Thompson was elected secretary at the first meet- ing of the year. Faculty members for next year, appointed in April, are Professor Castleberryg lVlrs. Brooks, English pro- fessor, Prof. L. A. jones, registrar, and Thornton. Four, rather than five, members were appointed because the board had previously voted to abolish the Scarab business managership, thus cutting the number of student mem- bers to four. The board approves all contracts having to do with publications and examines all bills before submitting them to the Student Apportioning Board. They also handle all matters pertaining to advertising. Next year a third publication, the Oklahoma Cityan, Scarabian football program, will come under the board,s control.

ur ntellegence est by Phil Dessauer Editofs Note--lVe'ue hated the sight of those sofcalied in- telligence tests for so long that we decided to make up one of our own. And so we are herewith presenting our Intelligence Test To lfnd Intelligence Tests. Kindly bear with us, DIRECTIONS Put down at least three answers for each question. Answer all the even numbered ones on the left hand mar- gin, and the odd ones on the right hand side. Yes, we know they're all a little odd, but even so, the odd are odder than the even, while some of the odders are even odder. Oh, welll If you still feel all right, itis your fault, not ours. TI-IE QUESTIONS WILL BE FOUND BELOW QBut not far enough belowlj I. King Kong is: Qaj Little Red Riding I-Iood's kid sister. Qbj A member of the European royalty. Qcj Public enemy No. I. II.

A Good Name- HA good name is greater than richesf' goes the proverb. True, and so does a good name lead a business on to success. Certainly the Good Name that Okla- homa City Eederal has always enjoyed is the foundation upon which its success has been built. It has been well earned through 38 years of able management and superior service to Investors and Home-owners alike . . . a record any- one must respect.
