U His level head keeps a balance between factions, so that the combined energy of the college is directed in unison toward good ends. 9 He stays in the harness. The realization of his worth in no way retards his ability for action. 0 He knows the pulse ot the college.

Lven in those days Guthrie was no new experience for young Aaron George Wil- liamson. lt was really his home, and from it he had gone tour years earlier to enter the Methodist academy at Marionville, lvilS- souri. Graduating there in 1911, William- son taught a year at Guymon, but declined a second contract. A university education was calling him, and besides, the 21-year-old teacher had resolved that the pulpit rather than the classroom was to be his forum. From Guthrie, where his parents still lived, Wil- liamson was receiving letters which told of the new Methodist University just removed there from Oklahoma City. Somehow the thought of casting his lot there appealed to him. At O. M. U., A, G. , as he was familiarly known, made his way by working in stores, selling insurance, and snapping up odd jobs which widely varied abilities placed in his way. On weekends he went out to preach at nearby Navina, and during his junior year was president of the student body. With a sheepskin in his trunk, off he went in 1916 to Boston University where he gained an S. T. B. three years later. Memories of Oklahoma still lingered, however, and in October of that year he was back in the Sooner state, serving the M. E. church at Shawnee. Pastorates at Blackwellg Kansas City, Mo., and Salina, Kansas, followed be- fore his call to Wesley Church, Oklahoma City, in 1932. Before going to Kansas City he had served briefly as superintendent of the Oklahoma City district, but long enough for O. C. U. to award his LJ. U. in me spring of 1925. Williamson reach.ed the O. C. U. presi- dency December, 1934, in the darkest hour of the schools 16 years at Oklahoma City- less than two decades after he left it as a student. Dr. Walter Scott Athearn, two months in the presidency, had suddenly died in St. Louis where he was attending to business of the University. How Wil1iamson's firm hand steadied Scarabia's falling fortunes, revived the con- fidence of students and bolstered her finan- ces is now a matter of history. Where crit- ics predicted short-lived failure, his success has been complete. Nothing so graphical- ly portrays this fact as the increased enrol- ment of the past two years. Today there are nearly 200 more regularly enrolled stu- dents on the campus than in May, 1935. The end of his third administrative year finds him still at work. He has wrought greatly in the building of a New Scarabia. And succeeding years, wherever fortune may take him, will find A. G. Williamson still laboring for a greater Oklahoma City University.-Paul Bennett. -'Fr 11 -4' THE FA LTY EBED A.

That's a Student Council member on the other knee. They can talk. Really! Ot course they can't think, the ventriloguist does that, but they 'really can talk. You don't believe it? Then watch their mouths move. Scarabia has a half-dozen ventriloquists. They operate their dummies, who are the class officers, the Apportioning Board mem- bers, and such, with ease and dexterity. l-lead ventriloquist this year has been Willard Wee Willie Boone, who is the Delta combine's little man with big stutif' For a time, Boone shared with Norman Peter Pytr Glass the dubious honor of be- ing Scarabia's political boss, but a shitt ir' combine membership early in the first see mester stole Pete's thunder and Boone became boss of the Scarabian ward. Pete's last vestige of authority was stripped When, at the end of the twelfth week, the com- mittee of deans removed him from the Student Council presidency and put vice- president Boone in his place. Six weeks later, Wee Willie Was elected by the stu- dent body to till the vacancy. Glass was elected last spring by a Delta combine which included Delta-Psi Omega, Phi Delta, Kappa Phi, the Barb organization, Alpha Omega, and Phi Phi Phi. This com- -?-' 16 -? bination swept every office in the spring election from the opposing Phi combine, composed of Theta Kappa Nu, Beta Alpha Phi, Phi Chi Phi, and Kappa Tau Delta. And the summer passed. September came and Glass an- nounced that the Delta combine would support him for the Yell-O- jacket presidency. The Delta Psis, who had a majority in Yell-O-laclv ets, maintained that Glass couldn't fill the job and elected Fred Marsh, a political foe. Glass took his trou- bles to the Kappa Phi chapter and they withdrew from the Delta com- bine, taking Tri Phi with them. There was a scamper for political allies and, when the smoke had blown away the Barb organization had withdrawn from politics, and the new Delta combine consisted of Della Psi, Phi Delta, Alpha Omega, Theta Kappa Nu, and Beta Alpha Phi. The Phi Chis and Kappa Phis, alas, found that temper- amental differences kept them from unite ing, so the Phi Chis astutely announced their withdrawal from politics, and did the political maneuvering under cover for the rest of the year. The new Delta combine has, as The Scarab goes to press, swept all elections of the year, except the Campus queen- ship. lt holds overwhelming majorities on the Student Council and Apportioning Board, dominates the class offices, and holds a slim majority on the Dance Board. The situation may change, however, for in the Scarab queenship campaign the Kappa Phis and Phi Chis managed to unite, and Eleanore Stauffer, Delta candi- date, defeated Mary V. Elliott only by the close score of 169 to l65.-KH. C. DJ Qtr ABOVE: The Phi combine huddles up on a park bench.

Treasurer CARABIAN student government in its most hectic year-in this manner better than in any other may the story oi the 1936-37 council be sum- marized. When Norman Glass assumed the student council presidency last Sep- tember there was nothing to foretetl the stormy passage that awaited ine ship of state, its crew, and its pilot. Elected on a reform platform, Glass early put forward a l7-point plan for reform, but amendments and blue pencils wrecked it. Before Glass could renew the campaign on another front, he and Billie Davis, Dance Board president, were removed by the committee of deans, be- cause of low grades. Thus exited the most colorful student political figure in Scarabia's short saga. Stepping into the breach, Willard Boone, senior member, and vice-presi- dent, took charge of the council and, assisted by Paul Bennett and George Kramer, directed the constitutional revisions which had been recommended. Leading points of this new document Were: ill the demand for majority elections, QZJ definition of the vice-president's functions, Q33 written ballot tor constitutional amendments, fill voluntary assumption of student dicipline, Q51 vitalization of the constitutional preamble which calls upon the council to take the initiative in developing student expression, These measures passed the student body with only two dissenting votes on Ianuary 19. With this matter over, the council started salvaging what remained of the year for constructive enterprise. ln the second semester election ordered to fill the presidency and three vacant council seats, Willard Boone, the act- ing president, Won the presidency from Virgil Downing, l5l-lU8. Carol Shaw, freshmang Hi Doty, junior, and G. Weldon Gatlin, senior, also won seats.

Secretary HE Student Apportioning board, which handles the spending of approx- imately 55,000 each year, in student money, came into being in l930 as an administration acknowledgement of the fact that those Who pay activity fees should determine how those fees are spent. Horace Robinson, student council president at the time, conceived the idea and put it into effect. Only Scarabian institutions representative of the entire student body may share in the activity budget. These are the Student Council, The Scarab, The Campus, the Y.P.C.A., the athletic department, and the College Players. ln consideration of this grant of funds, every student who pays an activity fee is admitted Without charge to all athletic events and dramatic productions, and receives The Campus, Weekly, and The Scarab, annually. This year the Board contributed S300 toward the purchase of band uniforms. fron Man of student finance for the last two years has been Willard Boone, completing his second year as secretary of the Board and his first year as chairman, Under Boone's administration was evolved the system of allotting money to the athletic and dramatics departments, in return for the blanket admission of students paying the athletic fee. Boone is the first man to hold the chairmanship and the secretaryship at the same time. The institution of free all-school parties came under the administration of Orville Kline, two-time chairman in '35 and '30 The Board is composed of five student members and a secretary, who may or may not be a member. Members are elected for one-year terms by the Student Council and are responsible to that bodyff -Paul Bennett. es- 19 -4' ance oard TOP ROW: Margaret Mit- 'Tg chell, Christine Chattin, ' l I ' Bob Lobaugh, Margare.

T reasurer ANCE BOARD meetings, at election time, are little more than an open comparison oi strength by the rival combines, but there have been few heated battles this year. Phi combine was in power when school opened, and Billie Davis was elected Dance Board prexy. When the committee ot deans removed him, twelve weeks later, Delta combine had come into power and Margaret Mitchell was elected. The Board promoted the annual Leap Week hop, and an all-school dance alter the men's and womens banquets. Scarabians were good boys and girls this year, and the Board was not forced to take any disciplinary action. Only one really big battle, other than the matter ot elections, occurred this year. It started when the Kappa Phis protested that they shouldn't have to pay any on the Leap Week dance, because none ot their boys would be asked.-Virginia Estes.

C. DJ Qu 21 fr- Margaret Mitchell and Hi Doty, Co-editors. SC TBANGE to tell, putting out an annual like the Scarab is an all-year's job. That's what 25 staff writers and co-edi- tors Hi Doty and Margaret Mitchell learned during nine months of work that went into the production of the i937 Scarab. From the call of the first staff meeting in late September until the moment the book was delivered into your hands, there was plenty of work for all. School had hardly opened before Tom Heggen, Miller Hays, Pamela Prigmore and Norman Glass, class editors, were jingling phone dials to remind negligent Scarabians that they must make the deadline for having their pictures snap- ped--that is, if they wished to see their likenesses in the annual. By Columbus Day, 525 stooges who ap- pear in this book had stepped before the Rembrandt camera. Next came long hours of drudgery-fas- cinating at that-for the editors as they worked to get panels to the engraver ahead of the November l5 deadline for the 407, discount. And they did, too, thereby saving almost S400 on the engraving bill, more than ever before had been saved. This neat chip off the estimated cost went into added pages and more pictures for groups that were formed on the campus later in the year. And then, while they might have been resting but werent the editors skipped about the city in hurried conferences with leading typographers for bids on printing the book. ln late December Clarence Page and company were awarded the contract and the race to produce copy was on. A real race, against time it was, for nothing is more uselss than a book that doesnt come out. From a tentative staff of more than 40, an- nounced earlier in the year, the editors an- nounced their choices and passed out as- signments with reminders that deadlines must be met ,... or else. Named assistant editor late in the year be- cause of his slave-like devotion to copy grinding on numerous last minute assign- ments, was Paul Bennett, Campus editor. When Bennett was moved up, his original position of student administration editor was filled by Romney Philpott, who also writes features. Crganization copy flowed in under guid- ance of Wishard Lemons. Virginia Estes and Mary V. Elliott, Campus society editors, found that Greek writeups for the Scarab worked in well with their newspaper assign- ments. As Greek editors these girls gave the '37 Scarab a refreshing slant on copy that usually is notable only for its dullness. Marian Buchanan, though laying no claim to journalistic ambition, did an exhaustive job in running down faculty degrees, honors, and other statistics and incorporating them into readable shorts. Esther Mae Wymore did the same service for the fine arts section. But most remarkable of allestill a source of wonder to the whole staff, was the way Stan Pate found time to turn in sports copy, what with his staff job on The Campus, stint at The Oklahoman, and editing The Gold- brick. -exp.. Hio- lt was hard to decide who should produce the feature section with two such funsters as Phil Dessauer and Bill Beasley hanging around anxious for work. lf we get along as co-editors of the whole book, reasoned Hi and Margaret, the idea ought to be tops with the feature section. So features by Phil and Bill became the order of the day. Helen Snipes, always an individualist, further set herself apart by getting every as- signment to the editors on time. When she was commissioned copy editor with orders to hunt down and seize delinquent manu- scripts from slothful scribes she was none the less successful. And then there were a number of unhon- ored and unsung individuals whose satis- faction in work well done must be about their only reward. These are the folk listed under the nondescript moniker of Staff Writers. These are the folk who really make a representative annual possible, by their affable Willingness to produce, on short notice, facts or copy on a subject with which they are more familiar than anyone else. These were Virginia Williamson, Spec Way- land, Bob Spooner, Bay Doty, Orlan Lago, Charline Garrison, and Peter Kamitchis. Artists were scarce on the campus this year, so there were none of the home-grown cartoons and character sketches that have delighted readers of former Scarabs. Co- editor Doty designed the cover, Flight of the Scarab. I Howard Thornton, public relations direc- tor and guardian angel of O. C. U. publica- tions, served as typographical advisor to the editors.-Romney Philpott. -:avg .33 ll 'Pe -, in GF 'S Q , TOP ROW: Paul Bennett, Esther Mae Wymore, Romney Philpott, Howard Thornton, Bill Beasley.

C. U. students scowled at the name and tried in vain to associate it with the face of its owner. For, though Bennett had spent two years in an inconspicuous position on the paper, it is probable that no O. C. U. student ever has been named to a major responsibility so little known as was he. Opposing com- bine members were quick to call the selec- tion political and students from both sides yawned and agreed that they were in for a very ordinary newspaper year. But before the ink was dry on lssue No. l, the campus realized that things were to be entirely different. For here was an editor who believed that an editor should edit. An early series of articles challenged the fra- ternity rush system in use at O. C. U. Soon the former Kaw City printer's devil was railing against manipulation of the Barb organizations by fraternity politicians. Throughout the whole first semester much TIIE CAMPUS of the papers editorial force was directed at establishment of a strong union for inde- pendent students respected on equal foot- ing with the nine Greek organizations. Other issues challenged a point plan for activities recommended by the deans of the University. Another series of editorials brought about the rewriting of the Student Council constitution. Without hesitation Bennett has attacked traditional concepts of party and combine loyalty, and members of all social and po- litical factions have been quick to applaud the 1937 Campus as an impartial publica- tion, both in theory and fact. ln his year at the helm, Bennett has made no concession to either student or faculty pressure and at no time has anyone had cause to question who was editor of The Campus. The real success of the paper has been built upon a skillful and energetic staff of student Workers. Spec Wayland, business manager, has kept a good amount of dis- play advertising flowing into the forms. Wayland was assisted periodically by Tom Heggen and Ieff McDonald. Completing his third semester at the job, Stan Pate has given The Campus a sports page that is distinctly collegiate in its hand- ling of Goldbug sport events. Pate knows athletes and athletics over Oklahoma and holds a staff position with The Daily Okla- homan. Social events are covered by two exper- ienced journalists, Mary V. Elliott and Vir- ginia Estes. Estes's A la Mode column of +P- 24 -+- campus social chatter is written in a light, airy style that will send its author far to- ward journalistic distinction. Staff columnists, Phil Dessauer and Hi Doty have kept Scarabia in fine humor with their weekly offerings, l'Goldbuggy and l'Snap Shots. Goldbuggy, under Doty's clever authorship is in its third year, and deals in choice campus small talk. Snap Shots, started by Dessauer this year, pre- tends more to literary finery. Doty is em- ployed by The Oklahoma News and Des- sauer works in the editorial room of The Daily Oklahoman. The Campus is a four-page tabloid of five columns by 16 inches in depth and is pub- lished 31 issues during the school year. The University Press, school owned and operat- ed printery, 25lO Blackwelder, has printed the paper most of the time since founding of the plant in 1924. On December ll, Bennett stepped aside to let Freshman Editor Melvin Shepherd take the paper for an issue. ln lanuary The Campus conducted a poll to determine popularity of its policies. ln this check, covering opinion of more than 300 students, it was found that the 'lGold- buggy humor column, the most popular de- partment, was read by 90 '70 of O. C. U. un- dergraduates. Editorials were followed reg- ularly by more than SO 70. Clever feature copy has appeared under the by-lines of Romney Philpott and Tom l-leggen, freshman journalism find of the year, who also writes excellent news copy. Others who have Worked on The Cam- pus are: Bonita Carpenter, dramatics, Bob- ert Bowles and Bob Spooner, interfraternity sports, Wishard Lemons, Margaret Mitchell, l-lerbert Siegal, Opal Haymes, and Marian Buchanan, campus news, Editor for the following year is named in May by the board of publications. There is no attempt on the part of the administra- tion to censor Campus editorials and news copy. Several members of the Oklahoma Colle- giate Press association, of which Bennett is vice-president, have followed The Campus method of sponsoring student polls.-Rom- ney Philpott.

HERE was nothing to suggest the important position which the Press club was presently to assume when seven members of the near non-existant order gathered about a Var- sity Shoppe table one Friday noon last September to elect officers. ln fact, the anxious scribes did well to hear each other above the competing noises so loud that no one ever knew for certain who the nominees really were. At any rate, when the votes had been counted, the tally sheet read: Hi Doty, president, Margaret Mitchell, vice- president, and Virginia Estes, secretary-treasurer. Doty started the year off with a precedent-smashing pace that would do credit to the rankest New Dealer when he announced weekly meetings-which actually came off. After three months of preparation, the Press club presented its Gridiron show, March 24. The members wrote ten skits, none too gently chiding the Vanities of student leaders and faculty big shots and the show was on. Phil Dessauer, director-manager, turned out a production that even exceeded the state Gridiron Show in some respects, downtown news- paper men were quick to acknowledge. With the curtain hardly down on the Gridiron, the Press club took over the supervision of Scarab Stunt Nite, May 8. This they did in fine style, and to faculty advisor Howard Thornton should go the lion's share of the credit. For it was Thornton whom the club named as its general manager and coordinator for the event. ln November, seven members attended the State Collegiate Press convention at Still- water where Paul Bennett, Campus editor, was named vice-president of the state association. As such he will preside at the convention next year. Membership in the Press club is an honor coveted by all, but attained by only a few journalism students since membership is limited to fourteen. Pledges must write a speci- fied amount of copy for The Campus or Scarab, and cannot be taken into membership until their sophomore year.-Paul Bennett.

Chairman MARGARET MITCHELL ...... ......... S ecretary EN years of highly successful faculty-student administration is the record of the Board oi Publications, which supervises all matters concerning production of The Campus and The Scarab. Prof. E. M. Castleberry, faculty chairmang Prof. L. A. Iones, University registrar, and How- ard Thornton, public relations director, are faculty members appointed annually by the presie dent. Editors of both The Campus and The Scarab, and The Campus business manager are automatically voting members of the board. This year's students are Paul Bennett, Hi Doty, Margaret Mitchell, and Spec Wayland. Willard Boone, student council president, is, by virtue of his office, an ex-officio non-voting member ofthe group. Besides the task of seeing that publication work runs smoothly, the board meets to award photography, engraving and printing contracts for both the newspaper and the yearbook, and it periodically inspects and passes upon bills and salaries incurred in the production of both. This year the board has had the delicate job of financing The Scarab without aid of advertising revenue. The book is now paid for entirely out of the student activity fund. By board action last September, the football bulletin was combined with and run as a part of The Campus on occasions of home football games. Other publications of the University, not under management of the board, are the month- ly O. C. U. Bulletin, published by the administration, and the Student Handbook issued each fall under Student Council supervision. Ostrakon, the organ of the Ostrakon poetry club, is mimeographed several times during the yeary and the Barbangle, also mimeographed, is re- leased every other week by the University's organization for independent students. The Gold Brick humor magazine is not connected with any branch of the school,-Paul Bennett. 59,1 TOP ROW: Margaret Mitchell, Spec Wayland, Willard if Boone, Hi Doty. BOTTOM ROW: Paul Bennett, L.

CARABIA was astounded in April, 1936, when the good yeomen of the faculty did not suppress the current undergraduate evil, which was the new-born Gold Brick, O. C. U. humor magazine. A humor magazine at a Christian college! Horrors! One of the good yeomen explained the tolerance: The faculty has dis- cussed it and decided that it soon will die a natural death. So was the first crisis passed. But it takes more than tolerance to publish a magazine. There's the matter of advertising, for instance. Late in August, 1936, the W. B. Bradbury advertising agency, New York City, received a special delivery from The Gold Brick, It began: Gentlemen: This is our last Word. Either you get us two pages of ads or we go broke and you lose a customer. Short and terse! Bradbury came through, Ameri- ca's leading undergraduate monthly resumed publication, and the second crisis was passed. There was turmoil on the campus when Vol. 11, No. l, of The Gold Brick ap- peared in October, 1936. Some of the jibes and jests were-well, really nowl The axe, the axe! cried the sterner of the profs. Prexy, and the city newspapers, took heed. UO. C. U. EDITORS CALLED ON CARPET. But Prexy was pacific. Promise to keep it clean and you may stay in school. The editors promised and the third crisis was passed. Since then the sailing has been comparatively smooth. The Gold Brick was established in April, 1936, by four freshmen and a sophomore, working together as a communistic organization. They were Phil Dessauer, editor: Stan Pate, managing editor, Hi Doty, feature editor, Harry Roberts, business manager, and Vernon Dennis, advertising manager. The first number, 24 pages, was dedicated by Walter Harrison, Oklahoma City editcr. lt was published in April, May, and Iune. Last September only Stan Pate and Hi Doty were left of the founders. They be- gan the year as co-editors and took in Eob Spooner as business manager. In De- cember Doty withdrew as co-editor and became associate editor and Spooner resign- ed 'from the staff. Editorial assistants named were Margaret Mitchell, right hand gal, Virginia Estes, thinker-upper and Ruth Fears Harris, artist and heartist. Editor Pate and The Gold Brick were the subject of a skit in the Press Club Gridiron, presented in March. Cigarette Song, a light verse by Hi Doty, was re- printed in the April number of College Humor.-Ray Doty. -6- 28 'wL- ,aw Q-. 5. O. C. Ufs BEAUTIES uk FIRST .............. ........

Letters had been writ- ten to the selected judges early in December, the pictures had been taken, but no judges had volunteered. Came a reply from Robert Taylor saying that his studio would not let him choose beauty queens, then someone had a brilliant idea, Why not put to test Dean Replogle's theory that if you want an accurate judge of any- thing, appeal to a number of people, thus it came about that Phyllis Taylor, Rebecca Harrison, and Ruth Mathis toured the city and asked fifteen of its most prominent men to pick the most beautiful girls at O. C. U. The judges were Mac Q. Williamson, Attorney General, who followed the blond route and chose Charolette Postelle, first, Doris Andrews, second. Iames E. Berry, Lieutenant Governor, called from the House of Representatives where he was presiding, selected Virginia Iudah, first, Andrews, second. T. G. Gammie, of the State Planning Board, liked Postelle, first, Billie Newton, second. Post- master Morris decided he'd better start back to school if there were so many good-looking girls, and chose Andrews, first, Postelle, sec- ond. M. B. Galloway, of Galloway Clothing Co., Eileen Parker, first, Newton, second. I. C. Birge, manager of the Midwest theater, Andrews, first, Parker, second. Basil, artist for city Standard thea- ters, studied each girl with careful deliberation and selected New- ton, first, Iudah, second. lack Waterman, assistant manager at Harry Katz, declared: l know beauty when I see it, and chose Andrews, first, Parker, second. I. W. Neuffer, sergeant of traffic violation bureau, police station, exclaimed, What kind of a gag is this! and chose Andrews, first, Postelle, second. I. C. Mersfelder thought they were all nice looking, but to be specific it is Andrews, first, Postelle, second. Ancel Earp said it could be any of them very easily and pointed to Andrews, first, Newton, second. Dr. K. F. Rodgers, who married a former O. C. U. beauty queen winner, selected Newton, first, ludah, second. H. Dorsey Douglas, lr., was pensive, then, Postelle, first, Newton, second. Wayrnond Ramsey, program director at KOMA, Newton, first, Postelle, second. First place was given two points, second place one. lt was May 7, 1937, the day after the beauty queens had been judged. ln the Scarab mail box were two letters: One from lack Benny, the other from Iames Montgomery Flagg, saying that they would be glad to judge the beauty queens at O.

TIIE ITUBIIIGRAPIIY f 9 By Norman Pytr Glass, Senior Historian HE morn of September 12, 1933, differed from other morns in that on this now historical day, 232 Freshmen enrolled in the great Institution of Christian Learning at the Capitol City. They, fellow members of the Class of 1937, are us. Don't ask where the rest are hiding. Two-thirty-two, minus 57 lthat's us, nowl, leaves .... let's see, 175 missing. A terrific mortality ratel Must have been dropsy, or sumpin'l Mr. Robert M. Constant, president of Delta Psi Omega and, incidentally, president of the Student Coun- cil, presided over our first meeting . . . and we nominated, and later elected, Bob Harrison, president, Naomi Gayer, vice-prexyg Rosemary Taylor, sec., and loe Baker, treasurer, Fred Marsh and Fay Lester, the latter known as Funeral Face, were our councilmen. The elder Delta Psi Harrison CArt, by namel said, Bob's going to be a Barb for a year. lust after the election, Bob pledged Delta Psi Omega. We had the traditional fight with the Sophies and won by sheer brute force, for we sicked twenty men on each Sophie. Next we had our Frosh Queen election, with the Kappa Tau Russian torso, meaning Miss Myrne Mullman, being crowned. Zelma Rice was elected Feetball Queen. Thus ended the scholastic year of 1933-1934, with Hi Doty giving us all a razz in the feature section. As the year 1934-1935 began, we found that half of our class had taken a runout powder. Goggin still was a Barb. When we enrolled, we saw a sign reading, Hi Doty is an unaffiliated fellow, so in the first election we named Doty presidentg Goggin, vice-lordg Mildred Redding, sec., and Sanford Palmer, treasurer. Goggin and the inevitable Fred Mash went to Student Council. lust after the election, Doty pledged Delta Psi Omega. Goggin tried a new brand of tobacco in Council meeting, and after the ashes were scrubbed away, Leap Week was innovated. Later all the males were to regret this inversion, Then came the dreaded fight with the silly Phreshmen. Half of the class turned pacifist, leaving 13 men to protect Doty. Glass broke Phreshman Kennedy's arm and Keith Kelly's nose, to even up for the scratches they put on Doty's back. We fought manfully and our prexy didn't go in the pond, although Phrosh Prexy Bill Maril did. Statistics show that only two of us, Fred Marsh and lohn Hobbs, rated Leap Week dates. On the night of the ball, Ozzie Culmer, Willard Boone, George Meador, and others of their ilk, went to Hi Doty's room and, after gargling some questionable soda water, began to sing Sweet Adeline. We were saddened when we lost President Walter Scott Athearn. Classmate Doty struck off a com- memorative poem which was read in a special assembly and we steeled ourselves to go forward alone. We were saddened again when Dean Williams left us, but with our new President Williamson, we felt bols- tered and started forward, Five of us, Wayland, Talley, Newberry, and Olvey, Won the state baseball title for O. C. U, for two years straight. We finished our Soph year by electing Orville I. Kline Student Council prexy, and Katherine Smissen and leanne Francis Hoggard to the Council. Came a summer of limeades and tennis. In September, 1935, we elected Norman Pytr Glass, president, with Willard Wee Willie Boone, vice- prexv: Zelma Rice, sec., and Ozzie Culmer, treasurer. ,M Glass became prexy of the Dance Board, as well as Lord of Kappa Phi, and Doty edited The Campus. Iohn Thornton ran the Goldbug, with credit accountS Open to all. At the close of the first semester, No Credit signs adorned the Goldbua. We first noticed the buccolic bundle of muscle, Cleo Beavers, at this time, for he was stealing the show in a play called The Fool, although Orville Sherman was supposed to be the fool. Newberry and Tuttle made themselves all-state football players. Queen Marie Strahl reigned over the first all-school dance after the Wichita game. Beavers gained in popularity and was elected Leap Week Royal Ram. Only four of our boys rated Leap Week datesg they were George Moss, Bill Halitosis Cutchall, Fred Marsh, and Beavers. Miss Snipes wanted a date with Hobbs, but he went back to O. C. W. at Chickasha. One of the perfectly nice things done by our chappies during this busy year was Book-Store-Gratten Downing's rehabilitation on the Interfrat constitution. He insisted on Phi Chi getting a cut, Then the prize scoop of the year, an announcement in The Campus saying, No Politics Plan Adopted for Scarab Queen, . . . The Kappa Tau beat Phi Delt, with screams from all that Delta Psi double- crossed. As the year closed, Eleanor Dunivant and Iames Vanderpool were named Isis and Osiris, and Ron Ohro Ines honors came to leanne Francis Hoggard, Fred Marsh, Virgil Downing, Mary Virginia Elliott, Nor- man Pytr Glass, Cleodus Beavers, Willie Boone, and Owen Puss Gragg. Then came spring elections . . . fOminous silencel . . . According to the Delta Psis, Glass double- crossed all, and was elected prexy, with Boone and Galyen representing our class. Boone became Appor- tioning Board chairman and secretary, and president of B. U. S. and Delta Psi. Hi Doty and Margaret Mitchell became Scarab editors. The summer came and passed. We're now to the current year. Glass became Yell-O-Iacket prexy on Monday, was demoted on Tues- day, and returned to the Fire Department on Wednesday. Cleodus Beavers was elected Senior president, as the B. A. Phis helped, and the Delta Psis cursed. Glass was beheaded . . . or abdicated . . . at the twelve weeks, and Boone resigned. We've had a decent year, so far. Eleanore Tad-pole Stauffer is our latest queen, reigning at Scarab Stunt Nite. To culminate the four-year loaf, signal honors were given to Boone, Chaffin, Collins, Dunivant, Eddy, Elliott, and Vanderpool, The honors were blue, white, and yellow ribbons, and they are members of Magna Cum Laude.

The sky was splotched with stars, like white on a mechanics overalls. Under the gray coverlet of morning, the Sophomore flag was waving like an insult from a greased pole on Scarabia's campus. In my steel steed, lights extinguished, Galloppi and I drew up alongside the bushes in front of the college. Two couples fled like startled beetles across the dewy lawn. The night-watchman's beam winked around a building corner and then, so I thought, the night was left alone to silence and to me. Disengaging myself from Galloppi, a twelve-gauge pump, I pulled him by his black snout after me from the car. I coughed two shells into his throat, and strode forth through the inky campus, as Daniel Boone strode forth after bear. Another couple rabbited from the bushes. Tell your father not to shoot, croaked a voice that was left behind. Again the night was left alone, so I thought, to silence and to me. My graceful gait jogged Galloppi into my collar bone. Suddenly I heard scuffling. A skin-clad form was climbing up the greased flag pole. He slid, climbed, slid, climbed, up and down like an Oklahoma thermometer. Ah! there was a fellow with a heart even nobler than mine. When I was about as close to him as a blind date, Galloppi rustled the bushes. The climber sguirreled down and sped off, his apple-cheeked posterior bobbing off into the shadows. Above waved the hated insignia of the Sophomores. When it saw Galloppi, it let go the breeze and clutched at the pole. Many have asked whence came that moment's courage. Youth is an excuse for anything, you are young only once, I immortally reflected as I swung the cannon vertical and centered it on the enemy. BOO--OO--OOM! Silence covered his ears and fled over the roof tops, and Boom, hopping on echoes, stomped in close pursuit. Like the bad egg I am, I scrambled to my feet with difficulty, and began to dig the grass from my ears, and feel which part of my shoulder had been kicked loose by my Inuskef, Galloppi. The shoulder was still there, and so was Galloppi, and, Behold! a fragment of flag remained, hanging like a beggar to the pole. Switching Galloppi to the left shoulder I poked him at the flag fragment, and blew it into the moon's face. The night-watchman's light came jumping over the campus like a huge white cricket, and neighborhood windows flew open as quick as a spinster's mouth. Galloppi and I fled to my stream-lined steed and away we went, fast on the heels of silence and the two Booms. And I swear by the sacred Freshman Class that the ghost of old Dan Boone followed me home through the gray morning, and stood over me, and shook my hand. We, to- gether, admired me until it was time to begin being late to an eight o'clock class.

The Blue Key football excursion train to the O. C. U.-Wichita game, October 24, carried ll8 students. During the Christmas season, Blue Koy gathered dis- carded toys for city firemen to repair and distribute to the poor, Tap day for the two Keys was held in chapel, November 24, and l2 men were tapped. They were initiated February lU, at the annual Key banquet in the Y. VJ. C. A. Venetian Boom. February l2, Blue Key held the first an- nual All-Men's banquet in Wesley Church, with 99 present. Blue Key, Car- dinal Key, and Dance Board sponsored an all-school dance afterward. Hi Doty and Paul Bennett attended the state Blue Key convention April 2-3, in Durant, where they conferred with Dr. lohn Clark Iordan, national president. Blue Key's interurban excursion to the Edmond basketball game, March 2, car- ried, by coincidence, ll8 Scarabians. Blue Key members acted as campus guides on Highschool Senior Day, April l6. The two Keys held election of the Most Bespected Seniors, April 28-29, and Willard Boone and Mary V. Elliott were named. Two Blue Key projects are scheduled for May, the selection of the outstanding senior man, and fingerprinting of the en- tire school, in cooperation with the state crime bureauf-Paul Bennett. C RDINAL KEY OFFICERS ZELMA RICE .................................... President REBECCA HARRISON ........ Vice-President MARY VIRGINIA ELLIOTT .,........ Secretary IEANNE FRANCES HOGGARD..Treasurer MARGARET MITCHELL ............,... Reporter ARDINAL KEY, national honorary leadership soror- ity, is the sister organization of Blue Key. It was organized in 1933 for the purpose of rendering ser- vice to the university and to encourage extra curricular activities as well as scholastic achievement on our campus. This year four girls were tapped on November 24, in recognition of their outstanding leadership ability. Pledges are selected by the unanimous acceptance of the chapter. Only junior and senior girls are eligible for membership. Initiation was held at the joint banquet of Cardinal Key and Blue Key, February IO. Cardinal Key has sponsored three projects this year Its members served as hostesses at the first open meeting of Sphinx literary club and have continued to help this society all year. An October style show for O. C. U. girls and mothers was also sponsored by Cardinal Key. This program was followed by a tea at which the faculty women presided. The success of the Women's banquet this year, with ISU present, may be attributed to the fine spirit of co- operation shown by Cardinal Key members and the faculty women who supervised this annual event, under the direction of Miss Mary Harris, Cardinal Key member. In cooperation with Blue Key, the most respected senior boy and girl are awarded honors by this group. Other faculty members who are affiliated with the sorority are Miss Ruby Wortham and Dean Lena Misener. -Mary V. Elliott. -+-' 63 -4' TOP ROW: Zelma Rice, Rebecca Harrison.

Brooks conceived the idea oi a professional order for undergraduate biologists. Since then, Tri Beta has expanded to 35 American and 3 Chinese chapters. Eight Scarabians have been initiated this year. Tri Beta meets semi-monthly, with al- ternate lecture and social meetings. Oificers of the year are Bill Fluhr, president, Elwood Heilman, Vice-president, Douglas Yeager, secretary, Keith Kelly, historian, and Dr. Arne V. Hunninen and Ruby Wortham, sponsors. Until he lett O. C. U., last September, to assume the chair oi biology at Cornell College, Dr. Brooks, founder, was ior 14 years Tri Beta's sponsor. He has been national secretary-treasurer since nationalization in 1924, and editor of Bios, the quarterly magazine, since its founding in 1930.-Paul Bennett. -:M 64 --a- , TOP ROW: Helen Snipes, Sally lo Clark, Elizabeth McNeese, Zelma Rice, Clara Neal Smissen, Fern Moore.

Reporter CABABIAIS kindergarten department lost its human guinea pigs this year, but the Kinder- garten club, undaunted, carries on. When the kindergarten department was forced to vacate its separate building, across Blackwelder, last summer, close its kindergarten, and move into the Ad building, the Kindergarten club Went to Work With benefit bridge parties and candy sales, and raised money to decorate their new home with drapes, rugs, pictures, and an artificial fireplace. Money raising seemed so easy that they kept on, and raised enough to buy Thanks- giving dinner for fifteen needy children at Wesley Community l-louse, and to clothe three poor pupils at Riverside grade school. Miss Mary E. Harris, oldest faculty member in point of service, founded the Kindergarten club in 1919, and has been its active sponsor ever since.

ETA UPSILON SlGMA, Scarabias honorary business fraternity, spent two years a' born- in', then Willie Boone came along. Nobody took much interest in B. U. S. until last year when 'lWee Willie was elected secretary. Boone wrote a constitution for B. U. S. No re- sponse! Then came the big idea, he designed a golden B. U. S. key, to be worn by every member. The response was terrific. Every man who ever had taken an economics course wanted to join. The fraternity even was able to make and enforce a set of entrance re- quirements which exist even today, to-wit: Second semester freshmen who are majoring in business and making a HB average may be pledged. Sophomores are associate members. Full membership, and the tricky little key come only to juniors and seniors. As a reward, Willie is president this year. Prof. P. W. Swartz Cknown during his absence as Swartzyl is B. U. S. sponsor. Promine ent business men of the city have been made honorary members. One of them, Lee Y. Langston, annually presents a key to the outstanding senior in the department of econom- ics. Purpose of the organization is to create departmental spirit and foster a closer associas tion of students and city business men.-Miller Hays. -'2'- 66 'fr- TOP ROW1 Elizabeth McNeese, Martha Mathis, Ieanne Frances I-Ioggard, Tom Hilborne, Willard Boone, Margaret Huckaby, Maxine Lyon.

During a recent meeting, a distinguished speaker was well launched in an exciting dis- cussion ot The Socialists Are Willing To Divide Because They I-Iave Nothing To Divide.

PIIINX OR Scarabian girls who love good books, but yet don't have time to read them, there is but one solution, and that is to join Sphinx literary society and hear those Works reviewed. Sphinx, oldest organization on the campus, was founded in 1907 at Epworth University and now numbers in its membership daughters of the 1907 founders. Rebecca Harrison was re-elected presi- dent at the beginning of the year and has carried on an interesting program for the thirty members, Membership is open to all girls interested in literary pursuits-and be- 2.- r lieve it or not, neither the girls nor the meetings are the least bit dull. Hitherto dependent on outside reviewers and speakers, Sphinx this year has depend- ed on programs planned and furnished alto- gether by its own members. Virginia Estes, Esther Mae Wymore, lane Lyons Ladd, Eve- lyn Hook, Ruth Heggen and Mary Virginia Elliott have all successfully tried their hands at the art of book reviewing. Mrs. Bunn Booth, only guest speaker, read Dickens's Christmas Carol at the annual yuletide party Where gifts were exchanged. Sponsor and guardian angel of the club since her first connection With the Univer- sity in l922 is Dean Lena Misener. Prof. Ruby Allen Wortham and Mrs. Mary Hays Marable are also faculty members. Sphinx's fall membership drive is annual- ly a project of Cardinal Key leadership fra- ternity Whose leaders are all members of Sphinx. The last meeting of the year is the picn'c held late in May Where literature is not the subject of discussion.---Mary V. Elliott. 70 '+- 0 Po Co Ao T is the custom for the Y. P. C. A. slowly to die during the school year, then, in early September, rise, Phoenix-like, from it own ashes. This year is no exception. Last spring the Y. P. C. A. Was, in the crude ver- nacular of the campus, as dead as a profes- sor. Then in early September came the an- nual Y. retreat, at Camp Kickapoo, and the members were fired with a fury that carried the organization Well into November before it began to sag. A freshman orientation program, based on a system of upperclass advisors, was lustiest product of the retreat. lt collapsed soon, but not until the freshmen were fairly Well intro- duced. Other projects Were the sending of delegations to the Southwestern Student Christian Conference at Springfield, Mis- souri, and to the Collegiate Peace Confer- ence at Enid, where the O. C. U. delegation came out flatly against war. The Y. surprised the campus by retaining a vestige of life and vigor during the second semester. lt used most of its allotment from the student apportioning board to bring three eminent lecturers to the campus, Stan- ley Baldwin, religious educator, Paul Weav- er, authority on marriage, and Paul Pope- noe, director of the lnstitute of Family Rela- tions, Los Angeles. After one of its perennial fights with the apportioning board, this time regarding the sending of delegates to Hollister, Missouri, the Y. set out, in April, to raise some money itself. Birch, The Magician, was imported and he entertained 250 Scarabians and little boys in the auditorium. Mostly little boys. Financially, the evening was not a great suc- cess, but, due to some backstage slip-up, the audience did learn how the great Hindu rope trick is performed.

Charter members were chosen by a faculty committee. President A. G. Williamson, Dean Fred A. Replogle, and Camp- bell volunteered to act as spon- sors, lunior Coleman was chosen as temporary chairman, and the Speaker's Bureau apparently was off to a flying start. But you know how those things go. By Febru- ary, Speaker's Bureau bore a great resemblance to Ai, the two- toed sloth. Now, in early May, it seems to have folded its tents.

Nationalized only 14 years ago, it now has 143 chapters throughout America. Under the presidency of Elizabeth Mc- Neese, theorder holds meetings at the homes of members on the first Tuesday night of each month. An authoritative speaker has addressed each session upon some topic of social significance. Dr. I. W. Moffitt, secre- tary of the State Historical society, was the main speaker at the Pi Gamma Mu spring dinner in the Y. W. C. A. Venetian room, April 17. Boy Bryant, president-elect, served as vice-president this year, and Evelyn Hook was the secretary-treasurer. The club is sponsored by Prof. P. W. Swartz.

P rof. Iames I. Hayes CREWY fusually pronounced sceeee- reweyI, is the general opinion of Ostra- kon, Scarabia's union of eccentric authors. This term is not lightly applied. Since its founding, in the balcony of the First Meth- odist church, Hobart, Okla., in 1934, Ostra- kon has striven right manfully to earn and polish this title of Screwy. lt was in the springtime, when mad poets are in heat, that Scarabia's touring A Cap- ella choir stopped in Hobart for a concert in the First lvl. E. There, in the church bal- cony, Ostrakon was born out of a chance meeting of four balmy ones, who decided to publish an O. C. U. literary rag. The four founders were Fred Koschman, Iane Bil- lings, and Peter Kamitchis, A Capellans, and Hi Doty, business manager of the choir. Lat- FRONT ROW: Hi Doty, Prof, I. I. Hayes, Peter Kamitchis.

The following Sep- tember Ostrakon was formally organized with the five founders and four initiates, Robert Lingenfelter, Pete Glass, Orlan Lago, and Prof. I. I. Hayes. First officers were Ka- mitchis, president, Hayes, secretary, and Doty, treasurer.

U. clubs, and one of the most progressive. Members have started a fund to buy an enlarging machine, and three club dark rooms have been built, Ostrakon, Scarabias literary fraternity, served as a model for Cyclops. Members are required to bring original work to each weekly meeting, where there is frank criti- cism. During the first semester, weekly contests were held, for such specified sub- jects as an interesting doorway, or a city -.Fu Alvan Stubbs, Claude Mel- ton, Miller Hays, Prof. I. l. Hayes. skyline. Feeling that amateur cameramen are weak on fundamentals, the group be- came a study club during the second se- mester. Photographs entered in the weeke ly contests are preserved in a club scrape book. Members have a wide variety of equip- ment, ranging from the 35 milometer cam- eras, like the Memo and the Argus, to post card size kodaks, and including plate and cut film cameras. Cyclops started life as an all-mens organization, but late in the year it was decided to admit girls. To date, none have applied. Tentative plans call for Cyclops to be sponsored next year by the journalism department, which is con- templating a course in commercial phof tography. Alvan Stubbs and Pedro Luna built the Epworth Church dark room, Rolland Swain built one in the auditorium projection room, and Prof. james I. Hayes, furnished a small closet dark room in the tower.-Icxmes I. Hayes. 75 ri' H0 IIB O THE victors belong the spoils, and here in Scarabia the spoils are loving cups, and plaques, and medals, and cash prizes, and certificates of membership, and such. And the victors are the lads who crack books the best, or play the ruggedest game of foot- ball, or dupe the voters most. Recipients of the annual honors of lsis and Osiris, Most Respected Seniors, Bon Ohrc lnes, and Magna Cum Laude are presented in this section. A few other honors have been awarded this year. The scholarship cup for sororities was won this year by Kappa Tau Delta. The similar Co-operative cup for fraternity scholarship went to Delta Psi Omega. Mary Virginia Elliott has been announced as winner of the l937 Mersfelder trophy for senior scholarship. Zelma Bice will be awarded the Lions club cup for the most outsianding senior girl of l937. Key membership, perhaps the most sought after honor on the campus, came to fifteen students and one faculty member, November 24. Blue Key tapped foe Baker, Bill Beasley, Paul Bennett, Boy Bryant, Orville Tuttle, Cleodus Beavers, Bob Harrison, Preston Smith, lames Vanderpool, Spec Wayland, less Eronterhouse, and Prof. W. P.

Cecil lones, football captain and baseball player, was presented with the annual cup for the most valuable athlete.4Ray Doty. lSlS: Mildred Simpson OSIRIS: Duane Weinert HE highest honors that may come to members of the junior class are those companion distinctions of Osiris and lsis. Forty centuries ago the people of the Nile bowed before these twin deities, the god and goddess of learning. So it was that when O. C. U. adopted its Egyptian motif in l925, these honor offices should receive names that further carry out the Egyptian theme. Selected for the l937 Osiris and lsis were Duane Weinert and Mil- dred Simpson, Mr. Weinert is assistant manager of the University book store, and for three seasons has been a member of the A Cape pella choir. Miss Simpson also is an A Cappala member and has served as Y. P. C. A. secretary. Both are identified with the Barb group. Together the Osiris and lsis will lead the senior class in the activif ties of commencement week. The Osiris carries the mace of College Marshall and the lsis wears the sacred key to the Golden Scarab. The faculty annually elects Osiris and lsis from among the ranking scholars of the junor class.-Paul Bennett. ighest onor at 0. C. I es- 77 -4.

Selections are made by the Bon Ohro lnes members of the year before, and the organization has no other function than naming of the group which succeeds it. This year the 1936 members making the choices were: Fred Marsh, Mary V. Elliott, Norman Glass, Virgil Downing, Owen Gragg, Wil- lard Boone, Cleodus Beavers, and Ieanne Frances Hoggard. Four men and two women who have achieved accomplishments of outstanding merit during their three years in the University, compose the new Ron Ohro lnes. less Fronterhouse, four-sport letterman and state collegiate golf cham- pion, is also president of his fraternity, Kappa Phi. lohn Bose was selected because of his Y. P. C. A. administration coupled with a year's service on the student council.

Elliott are considered the most respected members of the 1937 grad- uating class. This fact became known April 28, after O. C, U. students and their profs participated in a joint selection for this three-year-old honor, most coveted by graduating leaders. In a ballot sponsored by Blue Key and Cardinal Key honor fra- ternities, submitted without preliminary announcements, students were asked to pick the three men and three women nominees for the honor. On the following day these names were carried to all faculty mem- bers who were charged with the final election. Boone is president of the Student Council, president of Delta Psi Omega fraternity, president of Beta Upsilon Sigma, business fraternity, and both chairman and secretary of the Student Apportioning board. Miss Elliott, besides serving as president of Kappa Tau Delta sorority, is associate society editor of The Campus.

AGNA CUM AUDE ROUDEST moment in four years of college came April 25 for seven members of the l937 Senior class when they were notified by President Williamson of selection to Magna Cum Laude. What national Phi Beta Kappa is on many college campuses, Magna Cum Laude is to Oklahoma City University, for the rules of this famous national organization are rigidly folf lowed in selection of members. Some day, not far in the future, when Scarabia attains af- filiation with the Phi Beta Kappa organization, past Magna Cum Laude members will be- come eligible to wear the key of Phi Beta Kappa. This coveted prospect of recognition for Work well done is the spur driving many stud- ents through sacrifices of four year's sustained academic accomplishment. This recognition more than repays those who must miss participation in campus enterprises, for extra-curri- culars play small part in attaining this membership. Selections, made entirely by the faculty, must be entirely from the upper eighth of the graduates. Four-fifths of the number finally named are automatically chosen because of ranking grades. The remaining fifth is found among scholars who have combined good Q class scholastically. The seven named for Magna Cum Laude this year are all residents of Oklahoma City rades With Work in extra-curriculars. But these, too, must be in the upper eighth of the and matriculates from its highschools. Here, as in Ron Ohro lnes, men outnumber Women. The l937 Magna Cum Laudes are: Willard Boone, lames Vanderpool, Eleanor Dunivant, Christine Chaffin, Mary V. Elliott, lohn Eddy, and Frank Collins. Vanderpool and Miss Dun- ivant were Osiris and lsis in l936. Magna Cum Laude was brought to Oklahoma City University in l924 When the junior honors of Osiris and lsis were inaugurated, and these have been selected annually by the faculty since that time.-Paul Bennett. +P 80 -+- 950 fXN 6 X11 ko Xl-GGQ Q06 009001 Q-Z009x6s 6100 .

I AMES VANDERPOOL HE Pan-Hellenic and Interfraternity Councils form the governing body for the rules and activities of all campus sororities and fraternities. Each organization is represented by two members. Some changes were made this year in both councils. Instead of having a rush tea for all prospective students, Pan-Hellenic decided to spend that money for the publication of the Pan-Hellenic constitution in the Student hand- book. Candidates for the Royal Ram contest, one boy from each fraternity in- cluding the Barb organization, were selected by Pan-Hellenic members. This has been a very quiet year for Pan-Hell-in fact ve-e-r--y quiet-no fights and no fines-and that's something. True to prediction, there were some changes made in the men's council this year. First of all there was the matter of a new constitution eliminating noon day pledging, which has been an anathema all these years. Fraterni- ties held their first formal bid house at Wesley church, September 20, the same day on which sorority bid house was held in the Fine Arts Auditorium. The main function of Interfrat Council is supervision of inter-frat sports: baseball, basketball, tennis, Wrestling, softball, and track. Sorority representatives are: Beta Alpha Phi, Esther Mae Wymore and Ieanne Frances Hoggard, Kappa Tau Delta, Elizabeth McNeese and Mary Virginia Elliott, Phi Delta, Zelma Rice and Virginia Estes, Alpha Omega, Mar- garet Galyen and Margaret Milby, Tri Phi, Mary Ann Roesler and Anita Stewart.

Chaplain HI DELTA sorority has so large a chapter that they have difficulty in find- ing houses big enough for meeting-especially when the alumnae chapter turns out. The Phi Delts are suffering from an acute attack of showeritis- The chief characteristic of this noble group is Marriage, moans Charline Garrison. They're all broke buying wedding presents. This speaks well for the girls, however, for they must have that certain thing. Zelma Rice, president, is one of the busiest people on the campus and yet she's so calm about everything. You never see her getting excited over anything. She has been president of Ladybug for three years, president of Cardinal Key for two years, and is also treasurer of Pan Hellenic council. What will the Phi Delts do without Zelma? That's what they're wondering. Making journalism their vocation are Virginia Estes and Margaret Mitchell. Besides being associate society editor, Virginia writes A la Mode' for The Campus, in which she continues to chastize and deride the men t?l on the campus. She is also secretary of Press club, and a member of The Scarab staff, Sphinx club, Dance Board, and Cardinal Key. Margaret Mitchell is co-editor of the Scarab, vice-president of Press club, president of the Dance Board, and a member of The Campus staff, Sphinx club and Cardinal Key. Other journalists are Marian Buchanan, Clara Neal Smissen, and Nell McGibony. Marian Buchanan, perhaps the most prominent Phi Delta, is vice-president of Sphinx club, and Y. P. C. A., secretary of Student Council, member of the Dance Board, a Scarab staff member, and O. C. U. Charm Girl. Beautiful Margaret Dunn was crowned freshman queen at Freshman Stunt Nite. Hellena Fox, petite brunette, Who has all the boys at her feet, is our Band Queen. Ruth Fears, who has now changed heri name to Harris, was chosen queen of the Bug-A-Neers, newly organized men's pep club. And that takes care of the Queen situation. Whenever the Phi Delts Want anything done they look for Charline Garrison, and she's not hard to find, that is if Nim Newberry is around. Maurine McKnight has something to say about this situation, however, as she also has her hat in the ring for Nim's affections. Maurine, Beauty Queen two years ago, gets prettier every day in every way. Billie Newton represents the chapter in the dramatic art department. She is a member of College Players and has taken part in several plays. Lucylle Shipley and Paula Lain have distinguished themselves this year in piano.-Mary V.

Don't get us wrong-theres no connection intended between Kindergarten and B. A. Phis, except that so many Beefies plan to teach. Helen Snipes is president of the Kindergarten club, Esther Mae Wymore is treasurer. Other members are Christine Chaffin, Eleanore Stauffer, and Ruth Havens. Members in Pi Delta Kappa, educational fraternity, are Esther Mae Wymore, Christine Chaffin, Helen Snipes, Eleanore Stauffer, and Ieanne Frances Hoggard. Beta Alpha Phi members hold many responsible positions on the campus. Esther Mae Wymore is vice-president of Pan Hellenic, treasurer of the Iunior class and Kindergarten club, and a member of The Scarab staff, Cardinal Key, Sphinx club, Y. P. C. A., and Pi Delta Kappa. She can usually be found working in the library or playing practical jokes on someone with Ruth Havens as her head stooge. The efficient Helen Snipes is Senior class secretary and a member ot Sphinx, Pi Delta Kappa, and The Scarab staff. She is a soft-hearted cynic. 'l'he two main attractions in the science department this year are Doris Franz and Barbara Hughes. The enrolment has greatly increased this year. Could their charming smiles have had anything to do with this? What, no answer? Elizabeth Preston, a parcel of sweetness and daintiness, is Freshman Student Council representative. leanne Frances Hoggard, former Beefie president, is treasurer of Cardinal Key and a member of Pi Gamma Mu, Bon Ohro lnes, Y. P. C. A., Pi Delta Kappa, and International Relations. Vice-president of Ladybug pep club and the Sophomore class, Dorothy Munn is following in the footsteps of her older sister, Catherine, who was a campus leader in her day. Dorothy is also a member of the Pep Council. In the writing field we find two promising poetesses, Dorothy Baines and Katherine Low.

Custodian APPA TAU DELTA sorority is sweet sixteen this year and distinguished itself by having the largest membership in the history of the organization. The Kappa Twerps started off their social activities in a drenching rain, September 20, when they introduced their I7 new pledges to the campus and Old Man Weather has been making faces at them ever since. It snowed the night of their mid-winter formal, it rained the night of founders day banquet, and there'll probably be a dust storm the night of their spring formal. The scholastic supremacy of K. T. D. has been uncontested for four coni secutive semesters now, which entitles them to permanent possesion of the scholarship cup. Clncidentally, we've never seen this much coveted award. Anyone knowing the where or whyabouts of this cup, please notify us im- mediatelyj Sally Io Clark did the unbelievable this year when she won the honor of Campus Queen with NO combine support. She was crowned at the Press Club Gridiron show by Campus editor Paul Bennett. Elizabeth McNeese runs Zelma Rice a close second for the Busiest Belle title. She is president of three active campus organizations-Pan Hellenic council, International Relations, and Pi Gamma Mu. She is also vice-president of Kappa Tau and a member of Cardinal Key and Kindergarten club. Outstanding in debate and dramatics is that girl with the distinctive personality and poise, Ruth Heggen, Pi Kappa Delta member. She has won two cups for extemporaneous speaking in tournaments at Chickasha and Winfield, Kansas. Ruth and Phil Howes won debate honors at the South- western tournament, Durant, and the Big l-'our tournament, Shawnee. As vice-president of College Players, she has had important roles in Cradle Song and Spring Dance. Other Kappa Twerp dramatists are Dorothy Mc- Manus, Marian Coffman, Gwendolyn Clift, and Odie Tims. Mary Virginia Elliott, whose mind runs to journalism, is associate society editor of The Campus and Greek editor of The Scarab again this year. She is also secretary of Cardinal Key and Ladybug pep club and a member ot Pan Hellenic, Sphinx, Press club, and Ron Ohro Ines. Vera B Hays is vice-president ot Sigma Alpha Iota and a Piano club member. Other pianists are Eloise Bebout, Velma Ruth Hubbard, Marjorie Germany and Emily Powers. And, speaking of Emily, she's about the most versatile person we've met in these heer parts. She teaches piano-is Ioanna Downs Lee's pride and joy in interpretive dancing-a divine ball-room dancer -makes pottery-and is an excellent swimmer and diver.-Mary V. Elliott.

They're going in lor the more interesting things in life, and have become adept in the art ot loating at the Goldbug. But they have their more serious moments which testify to their versatility. In this organization are three of the grandest actresses ever to grace the O. C. U. stage. Ot course you know ol whom We're speaking-Anita Stewart, Iune Thompson, and Bonita Carpenter. Stew, as Anita is larniliarly dubbed, had the leads in Cradle Song and Spring Dance, College Players productions. Iune, whom we think of as South because of that slow drawl ol hers, stole the show in Spring Dance with her comedienne's ability to be the lite of any old party. She makes our American Lit class so-o-o interest- ing with her wit. Bonita's portrayal of the young girl in Cradle Song was outstanding. There is a Winsome charm about this little girl. You should hear her read poetry. Mmmmml And still she's so shy she's almost afraid to recite in class. She is an Ostrakon member. These three girls are all members ot College Players. The Fie Pie Pies had two presidents this year. When Mary Ann Roesler, this year's Football Queen, dropped out of school, Virginia Williamson was elected to replace her. A junior in the School of Fine Arts, Virginia is a Piano club member, and as an accompanist she is much in demand. There have been three marriages in the active chapter this year-Ruth Foster Neal, Emma Lou Mahnker Brown, and Iulia Iustus Linan.

T reasurer OPAL HAYMES .................................................. Historian HE fishy eye, the knowing leer, is no longer directed toward the Barb organization. For college generations, it has been the custom for ambitious ones to organize the Barbs, and to exploit them, using their votes for selfish ends. The day of exploitation has passed. Scarabia's present Barb organization is a vital, active factor in the life of the university. lt provides a social outlet for students who do not care to join the Greeks. lt is the most intellectual, deepest-thinking group in school. And the reason is-this Barb organization was made by Barbs, for Barbs. George Kramer started the year as Barb president and Student Council representative. When he resigned at mid-year, G. Weldon Gatlin replaced him on the council and I. L. Martin was elected Barb president. The Barbangle, an occasional mimeographed publication edited by Peter Kamitchis, is the most ambitious group project of the year. Fighting inertia and politics in student administration, Kamitchis threw his columns open to Greek and Barb alike, and set the campus to thinking of its government. Opal Haymes, Lamora Blick, and Orlan Lago have been editorial assistants. Rebecca Harrison, who is said to have been bid by every Scarabian sorority, is a Cardinal Key, dance board member, Y. P. C. A. worship chair- man, A Cappellan, Scarab Queen candidate, and Sphinx club member. G. Weldon Gatlin is treasurer of the Barb council, president of Fellow Workers, Y. P. C. A. member, and a student minister. l. L. Martin is another student minister and Y. P. C. A. member. Pete Kamitchis is most famous as an eccentric poet, but he finds time to sing in the A Cappella choir and preside as Amen Ra of Ostrakon literary fraternity. Orlan Lago and Frank Speedy Collins are other Barb Ostra- koners. Charlotte Lewis, secretary of the Barb council, is a pledge to College Players and a Y. P. C. A. member. Those two mellow cronies, Dave Paris and Louie Guss, who came all the way from New York City to inhabit Scarabia, were the brains of the embryo Barb organization. Gerry Shaw is a Tri Beta, and a Ladybug. Billye Robinson rocketed to fame when she stole the show in Spring Dance. She also is vice-president of P. K. club, secretary of College Players, a dance board representative, Y. P. C. A. cabinet member, and a member of International Relations and Sphinx. Mildred Simpson is secretary of both Y. P. C. A. and P. K. club. Opal Haymes, trouble-shooter of the journalism department, is Barb historian, Barbangle assistant, and a member of Sphinx and Press club. Lennie Cavener is Sphinx and College Players. Dorothy Wilkinson was first semester Barb secretary. Herbert Siegal, who says he comes from Bahston, did a whopping job of running off the intramural horseshoe pitching tourney. -QM. L. M. and H. C. DJ +P- 95 9- 5 CI .UN YZ tk 6' 'Y N...

Historian ELTA PSI OMEGA fraternity, of journalistic, political and scholastic fame, is com- posed of a group of individualists whose formula for success consists in maintaining an attitude of complete indifference toward all things-particularly Phi Delts. They believe this attitude gets them what they want, and it usually does. Yearly, the Delta Psis grow more intellectual, this being the third year the Delta Psis have won the Co-operative club scholarship cup. Politically speaking, the Delta Psis remain the most formidable group on the campus, Usually making sure that they control every board on the campus, this year they elected one man to control it all. Wee Willie Boone is Delta Psi president, Student Council president, Apportioning Board chairman and secretary, Blue Key member, secretary of practically every other campus organization except the Phi Chi fraternity and the Sphinx club, and guiding star of the Delta combine. Hiram Doty, the young man who holds Margaret Mitchell in the palm of his hand and vice versa, is president of the Blue Key and Press club, junior Student Council mem- ber, veteran columnist, and co-editor of The Scarab. And he writes very good, but understandable poetry. That country boy who came to town, Paul Bennett is becoming quite well known around these parts. In addition to being Campus editor, Student Council member, Blue Key, he possesses an excellent sense of humor and unquestioned dramatic ability. tGridiron achievementll Other Delta Psis in Blue Key are Fay Lester, former president, loe Baker, Professor Howard Thornton and Orville Tuttle, assistant football coach, and A. G. Myers, chamber of commerce member, fireman, athle'e and a sucker for a pretty face. Stanley Pate, the boy who took Paul William's place on the Oklahomanf' is the sole editor and proprietor of that collegiate humor magazine, The Goldbrick, which, we fear, was rightly titled. By s'aving off the creditors from edition to edition, Stan managed to put it out all year, and occasionally was nearly put out with it. Keith Kelly burns the midnight oil only in the labs, Doug Yeager is a campus Cassa- nova, who doesn't take advantage of his opportunities treferring to the Buickl, Elwood Heilman is a smooth dancer, and how, and Iimmie Brown put his pin on a highschool doll, and settled down to making a B average. Tri Beta members in Delta Psi are Hugh Byler, Bert Weeks, Elwood Heilman, vice-president, Doug Yeager, treasurer, and Keith Kelly, historian. Lynn A. Boykin is probably the best all-round fellow pledged to any fraternity this year. He thinks fast and talks slowly. Enough said. Wishard Lemons, College Players member and president of the sophomore class, is another Delta Psi with journalistic aspirations, Incidentally, the entire male constituency of the Press club is Deltc Psi, which makes it slightly akin to the Student Council. We can't overlook those two perpetual pledges, Phil Dessauer, of a broad grin and a broader sense of humor, and Iulius Sas, who could be a campus shiek but does nothing about it. Pledge Paul French won the individual title at Frosh Stunt Nite, and the Delta Psi stunt placed second. Holland Swain, only recognized when carrying a camera, is the Delta Psi electrician who went with and without Urath Huckaby all year. Due to his and Bert Week's work the Delta Psis won the float prize in the Homecoming parade. Last but not least is N. Earl Smith, the junior who still looks like a freshman, and is the Delta representative for the Varsity Shoppe.-Virginia Estes. -4- 97 'ff zu F, it te' 0. ,nl br xy K 't '- 7w,.- A J TOP ROW: Roy Bryant, Lucien Sneed, Owen Gragg, Bill Beasley, Preston Smith, Russell Harris, SECOND ROW: Donald Stolz, Ioe Lewis, Gaillard Peck, Iohn Eddy, Billy Kitch- ens, Eugene Bray.

U. campus, is unique in several other ways. Not only do they have a house, partly paid for, and live together in comparative harmony and much fun, but they have fewer enemies than any other campus fraternal order. Owen Gragg, Blue Key, has been treasurer of the fraternity for four years. VVe always knew Owen had an honest face. But on the other hand this fraternity has had three presidents this year. President number l, Roy Bryant, is a new Blue Key member, president of Pi Gamma Mu, vice-president of the junior class, and a very respected young man. Tommie Hilborne was president number 2, maybe because he is un- questionably the biggest talker in the house. He is president of the Inter- fraternity council, and was elected to the Apportioning Board this year. Preston Smith, president number 3, was tapped by Blue Key this year, is a member of the International Relations club, and has served on the Student Apportioning Board. Pres says he'll never fall in love, because he can't afford it. No one thinks of Theta Nu without thinking of Bill Beasley, whose claim to fame lies in having the biggest feet in the house. He is president of the junior class, Blue Key member, and a star of every stunt night. The athletic prowess of Theta Nu is upheld by Bob Lobaugh, who dabbles in politics to the extent of being a Student Council member and a wicked treasurer of the Dance Board. Bob hadn't shaved and hadn't shaved. The brothers were pretty worried, so he thought of a swell excuse, the '89ers club. To show the real versatility of the Theta Nus, those Harris boys got the idea, and drew straws to see which would do which. So Rusty got married and joe is making payments on a ring. Lewis Fannell, recent pledge, provides the boys with an object for jokes, because he never catches on. It seems there are a number of people like that around here. The present freshman light of the Theta Nu chapter is Cecil Lowrey, who was bashful when he came to O. C. U. Theta Nus are known as the most mannerly men on the campus, and their numerous house parties are anticipated by the campus girls.

P ledgemaster CLEODUS BEAVERS ........................ Publicity Manager APPA PHI, the oldest fraternity on the campus, according to Kappa Phis, recruits most of its members on the basis of athletic ability and attractiver ness to Tri Phis. Kappa Phi members have a table reserved for them in the Varsity Shoppe near the nickelodeon, and mernbers frequently are seen dropping nickels in said machine. Nim Newberry, in addition to being a football hero deluxe, is one of the best truckers in school. Most Kappa Phis are at home either on the football field, or in the O club. Kappa Phis and Delta Psis compose the membership and fill the offices. Iohn Trapper Talley is president of this organization. The HO club spon- sors the sale of freshman caps each year, and how those sales increase when Cleodus Beavers followed by ten other Kappa Phis appear wielding paddles. Incidentally, the senior class is doing great things this year under the guidance of President Beavers, new Blue Key member, and ardent Y. P. C. A. worker. less Fronterhouse, president of Kappa Phi, was also tapped by Blue Key this year, plays football, baseball, basketball, and golf, keeps himself intact and, as has been poin.ed out before, has no enemies. Those Kappa Phi's who are not athletically minded seem to be pre-meds. Beta Beta Beta members are Bill Fluhr, president, Edgar Cook, and Richard Wifi. The Kappa Phi stunt, which won them the Freshman Stunt Nite cup, also resulted in the abolition of Freshman Stunt Nite due to indecent level of some of the stunts, this one particularly. Kappa Phis are well represented in the Camera club, formed under the direction of Professor I. I. Hayes, Kappa Phi faculty sponsor. Alvan Stubbs is president, and Miller Hays, secretary. Of course the most famous Kappa Phi, and probably the most colorful figure yet to appear in Scarabia's short history is Norman Peter Glass- intellectual, politician, fireman, pre-med, and Student Council president for the first twelve weeks. No one knows what Glass will do next, except per- haps his private stooge, Wallie Dietz. Pete's portrayal of Dean Lena Misener in the Press club gridiron show will be remembered by all who saw it, including Dean Misener. Kappa Phis are persons of similar tastes and, without much effort or much assistance, they seem to enjoy life.-Virginia Estes.

T reasurer IAMES VANDERPOOL ........ ................ C haplain FRED MARSH .............................................. Pledgemaster H1S year there have been more Phi Chis on the campus, in the Varsity Shoppe, and occasionally in classes than in any previous year. The Phi Chis' chief claim to fame this year lies in the great movement they originated to abolish combine politics which practically resulted in their abolition from school offices. In the middle of a Kappa Phi-Delta Psi struggle Fred Marsh was elected president of the Yell-o-Iackets, and Billie Davis chair- man of the Dance Board-but not for long. For 12 weeks. Billie also served on the Student Apportioning Board the first l2 weeks. Fred Marsh's graduation this year will leave a decided dent in Phi Chi prominence. He is vice-president of Blue Key, had charge of the Homecoming parade this year, is an lnterfraternity council member, a rugged player in interfraternity football, and had the male lead in the College Players pro- duction, Spring Dance. Fred is a very nice boy, but this year he dated Phi Delts. Virgil Downing, Phi Chi prexy, is a very fine fellow, and we sincerely believe he runs that book store on the level. He is a Blue Key, past presi- dent of the lnterfraternity council, and belongs to Beta Upsilon Sigma and Pi Gamma Mu. Iames Vanderpool is one of the best liked active Phi Chis. Last year lie received the high honor of Orisis and this year was tapped by Blue Key. He is a chem-lab instructor who gets results from his Stooges, at the same time making them like him. Phi Chi's lohn Barrymore, known here as Orville Sherman, is renowned for long legs, his trip to Hollywood, his toe dancing, his melancholy moods and his desire to be an actor-which made him College Player's president. He has the lead in the Oklahoma City moving picture, Deadline Not to be overlooked are the Palmer boys, Sanford and Donald, whose home has been the scene of many Phi Chi stag parties which Dean Misener did not chaperon. Sanford is a Blue Key member. Pat Dunlop is drum major of the famous O. C. U. band and is quite a high stepper--when leading the band. When Tom Heggen matures, he'll be one of the smartest seniors in school. He and Ierry Smith form a combination as well known as Paris and Guss. Better luck next leap week, Tommie. But the Phi Chis get a great deal of moral support from their three faculty advisors, Dean Roy Maxwell, Dean Lena Misener, and Dean Fred Replogle, who, combined, are enough to put any frat on the map.-Virginia Estes. -'P 103 -4+ PHI DELTA Founded ...,.......,. ,. ,.,.. ,May 8, 1907 Colors .,..,.,.,.... .,.........

' Sigma Alpha lota, the oldest national of its kind, was founded at the University of Michigan in l9U3 and at present has 67 chapters. Alpha Zeta chapter was installed at O. C. U. in 1928. Requirements for membership are faculty recommendation, a high scholastic standing, and an active interest in music. Gertrude Eraus, of lthaca, New York, was a guest of Alpha Zeta chapter in October, l936, and a reception was held in her honor. Other events of the year were the Founders Day banquet, Christmas musicale, MacDowell silver tea, and a garden musicale. All chapters have an annual MacDowell silver tea and the proceeds go to the support of Pan's Cottage, the S. A. I. house at the MacDowell colony, Petersborough, New Hampshire. S.

First, it provides the amateur emoters with an audience, and, second, it provides the audience with a crew of amateur emoters. All ot which is simply a hightalutin' way ot saying that the College Players is a dramatic laboratory, as Well as an entertainment unit. This has been going on since l923, when Prof. Wayne Campbell got the big idea. Everyman was the first production ot the season. Too deep, breathed the vapid audience, so Spring Dance, a light thing with a campus setting was next. As the l937 super Scarab goes to the printers, Campbell has just finished casting Death Takes a Holiday, to be produced the last day of school. Oklahoma City's second Easter Pageant, written and directed by Camp- bell, was almost a College Players project, although there was no official connection.

Meeting once monthly, the club affords its members the opportunity of playing before a sympathetic, and at the same time, critical audience. The meetings also establish a more comradely social relation between students and faculty members who offer valuable sug- gestions in preparation of programs and spring recitals of the students. The Piano club was founded in l924, by Frederick Libke, then head of the piano de- partment. Finley G. Williams, one of the charter members, is now its sponsor.

Treasurer SK anyone what they consider is the best thing the A Cappella choir has given the campus and the answer, in many variations, is one word, Cheeseyl The choir is no new institution on the campus, but a working group of friendly persons, beyond pettiness and superficiality, is brand new around here. Whether in athletics, social relations, or the arts, you find one thing vitally important: How does this area help the person? Well, Cheesey has come suddenly on the school like a human being. l-le is earnest, unsophisticated, intelligent, and a product of tough experif ence. The Man from McPherson College has 27 singers as we go to press. On March ll, l937, the choir gave a night performance, its first official appearance. Subsequent programs were sung in student assemblies, and over radio stations KOMA and KTOK. lts staff is not a significant thing, except that it is highly co-operative. To the members of A Cappella Choir in general the changed atmosphere of the group became vital and real during and after their picnic held April l8. lf you want to shout, shout! That's the idea. But shout constructively! With that in mind, the choir has one main purpose,-to be real beings,-not hotly robed sophisticates. Plans for l938 include a week vacation-practise before school starts. This is something of a remarkable thing at O. C. U,, but excellent psychology. The group will penetrate into the wilderness of America-the Arbuckles, or Craterville, near Lawton,-somewhere,-and have one swell time. With more than thirty voices in the offing for l938's choral group, it will be demanded by the A Cappellans that Cheesey get a trip far beyond the state.-Pete Kamitchis. -+R 112 -4- TOP ROW: Greta Faucette, lla Zoe Bickell, lanice Rayburn.

U.'s long hope for a first-class band came true last September. lames Neilson, director, set out last summer with a limited number of scholarships and a very few instruments, but with the enthusiastic backing of Prof. WV. P. Bill Atkinson, journalism depart- ment head and daddy of the organization. membership Charter was 35, by the end of the first semester it was SU, and now, as we go to press, there are 75. Uniforms were an ear- ly problem, but Atkinson went to work, searching for a godfather. He found his man in Ancel Earp, philanthropist and head of a prominent city insurance agency. Earp donated SLOUU toward uniforms, and it bought just as much morale. Atkinson and Howard Thornton, journalism in- structor, directed three band benefit programs which added 3700. Fifty- two uniforms were pur- chased. A Band Queen race was held in connec- tion with the programs and at the close of the third program it was announced that Hellena Fox, freshman student and candi- date of Phi Delta sorority, was elected. She named three girls to be provided with uni- forms and serve as attendants, Peggy -A.. r ANCEL EARP, Godfather of the Band Moore, Alpha Omega, Virginia Metz, Kappa Tau Delta, and Barbara Hughes, Beta Alpha Phi. When Miss Metz withdrew from school at the end of the first semester, Betty Mc- Galliard, Kappa Tau Delta, was named in her place. Russell Harris was elected first president of the band, but was succeeded during the second semester by Nor- man Hubbard, following Harris's withdrawal from school. Other officers are Marvin Mclnnis, vice-president, Pat Dun- lop, drum major and secretary, Harry Hahn, treasurer, and Howard Thornton, business man- ager. Director Neilson is a man of much experi- ence. He was graduat- ed from the Chicago Musical College after having attended North- western University for four years. He has played with the Chicago Staff Band and the Chi- cago Civic Orchestra. ln order to assure Director Neilson all necessary assistance, Frank Evans, a Phil- lips University graduate, was named assist- ant band director. Evans studied with Temple Bush in Chicago and played with the Glendale, California, symphony orches- tra before coming to O. C. U. 114 --sg Tassels, Gold Braid. Queens, Bass Horns, Color - Scarubids Band Lines Up Ambition and enthusiasm were not lack- ing in the new band as shown by their promptness at rehearsals, which were held at seven o'clock every morning during the first semester. This schedule was reduced to four mornings weekly during the second semester. With the opening of the second semester the membership of the band reached a new high of 73. Public appearances were numerous dur- ing the first semester with the band playing 33 programs before approximately 52,800 people. During the second semester it is ex- pected this record will be beaten. ln addition to public appearances, many radio broadcasts were added during the second semester. These broadcasts will to- tal approximately 35 with the close of the school year. Twelve of these programs were broadcast by WKY as actual rehears- als of state contest numbers for the benefit of more than l2,000 high school band mem- bers in Oklahoma. During April and May regular Wednesday and Friday morning broadcasts were car- ried every week over KTOK and the Okla- homa Network of eight stations. Several pro- ..?.. grams also were broadcast over station KUMA. Band activities will be carried on into the summer with frequent radio broadcasts and public concerts. With the opening of school next Septem- ber scholarship contests will be held. A college band excelled by none in the south- west should result by next tall. O. LJ. U. students first saw their band in glittering tassel when it accompanied the Blue Key Goodwill special to the Gold- bug-Shocker football game at Wichita, Kan- sas, October 24. A cruel break lost a well- played game to the Kansans, l3-7, but there was a happy moment at the half when the O. C. U. bandmen far outshone the 80-piece R. O. T. C. unit of Wichita U. How do you do it, asked admiring Marvin Tarkman, the Shocker drum major after he had witnessed the twirling of Classen alumnus and recent state champion, Pat Dunlop, Scarabian drum major. ' ln a single day the Goldbug band trav- eled 380 miles and played before l4,000 people with street parades in Guthrie, Per- ry, Ponca City, and downtown Wichita. 115 '+- Six days after the Kansas trip, the band led the annual O. C. U. Homecoming parade swinging through metropolitan Oklahoma City on Broadway from Twelfth to Main street, and then down the business district to Western. lf you like our uniforms, thank Ancel Earp, shouted a huge banner carried by two bandmen, as they passed 5,000 spec- tators. ln November Neilson and his musicians occupied the honor position in two history making occasions for Oklahoma City. On the tenth they furnished music for the Civic Center dedication ceremony and on the thirtieth the band, . now totaling 45 pieces, took Q . . . ment, program bookings and broadcasting schedules. Thornton also writes all continu- ity which goes over the air concerning the university during these weekly programs. Without the aid of statistics other than those stored in his mind, Thornton can recall the date and number of persons attending al- most every appearance ot the band. Another marvel to everyone outside the organization itself, is the success of Director lames Neilson in getting his 75 musicians to early morning rehearsals.

Now he's got the whole band saying it to each other, and there is a sort of social disapproval of the member who comes in late, A fine idea, 'lSwede, and there are other campus organizations who could profit by his example. Since its organization, the band has served the Oklahoma City Chamber of Com- merce as, for all practical purposes, an offi- cial Oklahoma City band.

Coach Toby Greene The athletic year of 1936-37 will not go down in Scarabian history as one which saw the Goldbug teams gaining many honors, but it will be a long remembered year. For l93'6 saw the rebirth of athletics on the Goldbug campus, and the inception of an athletic renaissance. ln every department of sport the Goldbugs were improved, and prospects for future years were exceedingly bright. Under the steady guiding hand of Toby Greene, director of athletics, the Goldbugs slowly began the task of rebuilding prestige they once held in the middle west, and al- though their season's records brought no new awards to the trophy case they did indicate that 1937 should be a banner year, Chief among the developments in the athletic department was the addition of Mel- vin I. Binford, of McPherson College, Kansas, x--,Q Ass't Coach Orville Tuttle GULDBUG GRIDME as head basketball coach and director of intra-mural athletics. Under the excellent guidance of this young, progressive coach, the Goldbug basketball team was the finest the school ever has produced and the changes made in the athletic department were the most far reaching the school has known. lntroduction of a supervised intra-mural pro- gram was only one of the new ideas incorporated in the depart- ment. Orville Tuttle, star football play- er on the i935 team, aided Greene as assistant varsity coach and freshman mentor. Under his guid- ance the line was unusually strong, and the new players he developed will fit well into next fall's team. Late in the foot- ball season, Tuttle signed a contract to play professional football with the New York Giants for the 1937 season. -F-118-4+ Osborne Tennant Hays Turrill Droll Oklahoma A. G M. College-September 25. The Goldbugs opened their season against the Oklahoma Aggies, and with only a vic- tory in mind they set out early in the game to accomplish it. Playing the entire second half in a sifting rain, the Bugs ex- hibited excellent football and showed a great deal of power in winning, 9-6. A battering backfield demon in the person of big lack Sweet, who had returned after a year's absence to play his final season of football, led the Bugs to victory. More than 8,000 persons jammed into Goldbug field to see the game, and saw the Bugs come from behind, 6-2, and win. Sweet led the attack with his plunging, driving and twisting through the Aggie line, and fleet Wayne Austin, a newcomer to the Bugs, who was substituted for Nim Newberry, vet- eran quarterback, raced across the Aggie goal for a touchdown in the third quarter. The Aggies scored first in the first quarter, but the Bugs threw them for a safety to pro- vide the final margin of victory. The victory was revenge for a 6-0 loss the Aggies handed the Bugs in 1936 at Still- water. Texas Tech University-October 3. Unable to cope with the spectacular style of football played by the Red Raiders of Texas Tech, the Goldbugs went down be- fore the slashing West Texans at Lubbock, 34-6. The versatile attack which the Tex- ans threw at the Bugs completely bewilder- ed them, and although the local eleven had a 6-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, they later faded. A brilliant 50-yard run by Newberry through the entire Tech team carried the ball to the two-yard line from where lack Sweet plunged it over. Then the Scarabians let down, and the score was 20-6 at halftime. For the Goldbugs 'iTrap- per Talley, tackle, George Moss, end, and Newberry were outstanding. Bacone Indian School-October 8. Snapping back from their loss to Texas Tech, the Bugs exhibited a fine brand of football to banish the Bacone College ln- dians from Muskogee, 19-0, in a game play- ed to empty stands in a driving rain. The scoring started in the second quarter after Sweet had mauled his way to the two-yard line. Cleodus Beavers, subbing at fullback, slithered across for the counter. Late in the period George Moss recovered a fumble on the Bacone 15-yard line and Sweet carried over. Taking the ball on his own five-yard line after exchange of punts, Newberry sprinted 95 yards for a touchdown for the longest run turned in by a Bug back during the season. Central State Teachers-October 15. The bucking Bronchos of Central State Teachers College charged entirely too fast for the Goldbugs, and their unerring pass- ing brought them a l9-0 victory. Complet- ing six out of seven passes the Bronchos had things very much to themselves as far as scoring was concerned. The scoring carni- -4?-- 119 rs' Austin Dunford Griffin White Greenhaw Mathews Woodworth Traughber Holstein McGinnis val started in the first quarter when a long pass placed the ball on the Bug four-yard line. After that touchdown the rest were easy, and for the only time during the season the Bugs were shut out. The closest the Bugs approached to the Central goal was the seven-yard line just before the end of the first half. Wichita University-October 24. With a special trainload of Goldbug fans, includ- ing the new band, on hand to watch the game the Bugs played excellent football, but bad breaks cost them a 13-6 defeat in their annual game with the Shockers of Wichita University. Two attempts to pass from behind their own goal line cost the Scar- abians the game. The Bugs outplayed the highly touted Wichita team, but the two mistakes proved costly. The Bugs scored when Frank Henderson, halfback, took a pass from Newberry which origi- nated on the 35-yard line and travelled, untouched, across the goal line for the first score of the game. George Moss, less Fronterhouse, and Henderson stood out in receiving passes, while Newberry, Wayne Austin and Sweet were conspicuous backs. Talley, Clark Hoing, Dee Coley, and Hugh lohnson were stars in the line. St. Mary's of San Antonio--October 30. Playing before a nice homecoming crowd, the Bugs exhibited the finest brand of football of the season to score a thrilling l3-7 upset over the far travelling St. Mary's University Rattlers of San An- tonio, Texas. Although the visitors were a constant threat with their wide open style of play, they were kept from the goal-line except on one occasion. The Rattlers scored first from their spread forma- tion when fleet Doug Locke, an all-American small- college selection, sifted through the Bug line for a 45-yard solo dash to the goal line. The Bugs pushed over a touchdown before the end of the first half, however, when they marched straight down the field to the four-yard line, where Newberry charged over. The Rattlers led at the half, 7-6. ln the final period the game was furiously played, and it looked as if the Rattlers would win, 7-6. However, late in the quarter Hlumping George Moss snared one of Newberry's long passes on the St. Mary's 14-yard line and raced over. Austin converted and the Bugs maintained their 13-7 advantage the remaining few minutes. -'sr 120 44- Baylor University-November 7 The strong Baylor Bears of the Southwest confer- ence, showed too much speed and power, as well as a versatile passing attack, and the Bugs went down to their worst defeat of the season, 48-6, on the Waco gridiron. From the first the game was a rout, and although Coach Toby Greene's team did not give up, they could not match the Bears' power. Long passes for touchdowns, long runs for touch- downs, and straight power plays for touchdowns spelled defeat for the Bugs. Passing accurately to Moss and Iulius Sas, Newberry led a drive down the field which, aided by a 25-yard penalty for slug- ging, netted the Bugs a touchdown. Newberry flipped to Moss over the goal-line for the counter. Haskell Indian School-November 26. The Goldbugs dropped the curtain on their toot- ball season Thanksgiving day with an l8-0 victory over the Haskell Indian Institute of Lawrence, Kan- sas. Showing a world of power against their for- midable lndian rivals, the Bugs, with Sweet, New- berry, and Austin leading the way, had the upper hand all the way. Austin scored first in the second quarter when he took a lateral pass from Wallace Holman and dashed 35 yards untouched for the touchdown. Newberry scored the second touch- down on an 18-yard gallop through the center of the line, then in the third quarter ripped off a 67- yard touchdown run on a lateral from Austin on a Haskell punt. Newberry, Sweet, Beavers, Talley, and Coley closed their collegiate careers by playing their best game of the season.WStan Pate. - The Season's Record O.C.U.

Coming to Scarabia from McPherson, Kansas, where he had an enviable record as basketball coach, Bintord promptly went to work to develop basketball at Okla- homa City University.

Orvis Red Dunford, Chester Bryan, Woody Rent- fro, less Fronterhouse, and Lewis Behrens carried the Scarabian burden most of the way, although they had able assistance from Bill Slaughter, Norman Strahan, and others. Dunford was the team's leading scorer for the sea- son, with Bryan and Rentfro close behind. ln the national tournament, the first that a Goldbug team ever has entered, the Scarabians won two games before losing in the third round. ln their first game they came from behind in the closing minutes to tie the Uni- versity of ldaho, Southern Branch, 30-30, then go on to win on a basket by Bentfro, 34-32, in the overtime period. The second game saw them playing excellent basketball to defeat a husky team from Shipbuilders Ap- prentice School, Newport News, Virginia, 24-16. The third round found them matched against the strong Kan- sas City Trails quintet of Kansas City, and the former college stars had an easy time winning the game. The Goldbugs opened their season December 1, and continued playing until the middle of March. The 31 games were an even dozen more than a local quintet ever has played before. Dunford will be the only man not returning for the 1937-38 season. Binford already is making plans for an even more successful season during the next campaign, with some of the outsanding teams in this section of the country on the home schedule.-Stan Pate.

There are plans for an official team next year. Hayes Iunior O'Neal, freshman student, and Gordon Casey, senior, established themselves as the finest boxers in their divisions in the South- west. O'Neal is a bantamweight and Casey is a light-heavy. Both boys won championships in their respective divisions in the second annual Golden Gloves tournament sponsored by The Daily Oklahoman. Following the state tournament, the Victors entered the national tourna- ment of champions in Chicago. Casey was beaten in the opening round, but O'Neal punched his way to the semi-finals before losing a close decision. O'Neal was invited to box on the Chicago team in its inter-city matches with the New York champions, but broke his hand in a training bout. He was voted third place in the nation. The same hand injury kept him from entering the state A. A. U. boxing tournament at Chilocco. Casey entered, won the state title, and went to Boston, Mass., with the team for the national A. A. U. meet, only to lose in the second round. O'Neal has been selected to box in Chicago, May 28, on the American team against a team of European champs.-Stan Pate. -'FH 125 ri' FRONT ROW: Chester Bryan, Frank Binda, Coach Toby Greene, Don Utt, Nim Newberry, Chester Steinbock.

ASEBALL NCE kings of all Oklahoma collegiate baseball diamonds the Goldbugs baseball team lost all its glitter, and tarnished badly during the 1937 state con- ference race. Victorious in the loop in l934, and again in 1935, the Bugs slipped a little in 1936 and came in second, However the current sea- son saw them without one capable hurler, and they won only two of their first six con- ference baseball games of the season. Although they were not up in the running for the baseball crown, the Bugs, neverthe- less, did have a smooth ball club, except for the mound staff. Veterans, with new men enough to keep up the morale of the club, formed a defensive group which was hard to better in state competition. Nim Newberry, last year's state collegiate conference batting king, was shifted from his centerfield position to become first string catcher. Frank Binda, a freshman star from Central highschool, held down first base, while Chet Bryan, a basketball star, was on second base. Spec Wayland, senior captain of the team, was at shortshop, with Billy Murphy, as classy a third baseman as there was in the league, holding down the hot corner. ln the outfield, Coach Toby Greene used lim White, a newcomer from Texas Tech, Chester Steinbock, Don Utt, Morris Newman and Riley Black. The only two pitchers on whom Greene could depend during the season were Roy Iohnson, a stocky freshman righthander, and lim White, the Texas Tech fastballer. Neither of the boys had ever done a great deal of hurling before, and while each was willing to try, they could not last in the fast collegiate competition. The Bugs opened their season with an easy 16-6 victory over the Guthrie Merch- ants, strong state sandlot baseball club, in a game played at Guthrie. The Scarabians showed plenty of power at the plate, boom- ing out more than 20 hits. This seemed to serve as a warning to state collegiate teams, but it was more or less a dud, as it turned out later in the season. ln the initial conference game of the sea- son, the Chilocco Indians went on the ram- -'?'- 126 -'fr -Si page at the expense of White and lohnson, and a bit of erratic fielding, to score a IU-8 victory. The first collegiate victory of the season was registered at Durant against the South- eastern Teachers College Savages. The Bug pitching seemed a bit more steady, and the heavy hitting artillery found the range to turn in a 13-3 decision. Their opening home game saw the Bugs bitten badly by the Southwestern Bulldogs in a free hitting, wild fielding tilt, 20-13. The Bulldogs started out early on White and fin- ished up on Iohnson. A six-run Bug rally in the ninth inning only prolonged the game. The Bugs were playing erratically and seemed to be in a lethargy which they could not overthrow. Following the Southwestern game, the Bugs took a week's rest, which they may have needed or not, before they opposed the tifle winning Oklahoma Aggies. Boy Iohnson started on the mound for the Bugs. He lasted four innings, during which time the Aggies gathered only nine runs. When Iohnson was finally yanked it was a surprise to everyone in the stands to see Boyd Nation, star hurler for Kappa Phi in runs during that time, it was errors by his mates which kept Nation in trouble. But something always seems to happen, and something did happen. Attempting to spear a hot liner Nation got his hand in the way, and came up with a broken hand which will keep him out for the remainder of the season. Coming to life, really for the first time, the Bugs turned the tables on the Southwestern team in a game played at Weatherford and with excellent fielding behind the hurling of lohnson turned in a 9-5 victory. Continuing this same type of play, the local nine redeemed itself once again when it scalped the Chilocco Indians, 8-4, with Iohnson again doing the pitching. Well timed hitting, with fine fielding made the Bugs look once again like the pennant win- ning teams of previous years. Baseball was not a success, but it seems that everything moves in cycles. Baseball has been strong here for years, now it is cooling off. Other sports have been cold, now they are picking up. So, after all, this is still the year that Scarabian sports made their biggest comeback!-Stan Pate. THE SEASONS RECORD the interfraternity league, take the mound.

GGLDUBBEB ESS FRONTERHOUSE, smiling basketball star and golf ace, scored the only major championship victory earned by a Scarabian in the last two years when he outlasted a field of well known stars to win the state intercollegiate golf cham- pionship in a Lincoln Park tournament sponsored by The Daily Oklahoman. Not even considered among the pre-tourney favorites, Fronterhouse ended the required 54 holes, in a tie with I, D. Norton, of Southwestern Teachers College, for the crown. ln the l8-hole playoff, Fronterhouse won by two strokes. The Goldubbers, as Scarabia's golfers are known, were undefeated in dual competition, at the time this book went to press. They opened their season at Ada, April 6, when Fronterhouse staged a sensational comeback to take the fea- ture match for a team victory of 3-2, over East Central. Their second conquest came on the Lincoln Park course, April lO, when the team won 7-3 from Southwestern Teachers. ln this series, Fronterhouse divided the main match with Norton, whom he later defeated in the state tourney. When Mcliflurry College's touring golf and tennis teams visited the city on April 21, the Goldubbers were easy win- ners at the Lincoln Park course, taking the Texans into tow, 6-2. The team was composed of Fronterhouse, Iimmy Brown, Worth Farmer, and lulius Sas. Entered in the four-man team event in the state collegiate tournament, the Bugs finished fourth, for the best showing a local team ever has made. Coach Melvin l. Binford had charge of the team.fStan Pate cmd Paul Bennett. -+- 128 '-4' TENN ENNIS, a sport which perennially springs up on the Scara- bian campus only to die more or less a natural death, made a comeback dur'ng the l937 spring season, with Prof. I. I. Hayes turning out a team which has scheduled 12 dual matches. Although the team did not prove to be a world beating com- bination, the boys did keep going right along and did not quit in the middle of the season as so often teams have done in the past. Hugh McBirney, a newcomer from Oklahoma Military Acad- emy, lack Aldridge, a freshman from Capitol Hill highschool: Lewis Behrens, only returning Bug veteran, and Bill Porter, a Classen graduate, made up the four-man squad most of the season. Behrens, also a basketball player, showed up well during the season, turning in victories more consistently than any of the other players. i The netsters got off to a bad start with a 4-U loss to Spring- field, Missouri, Teachers, who visited Oklahoma City on April 9. On the following day a trip to the University of Oklahoma netted Goldbugs a 4-l loss, with only Lewis Behrens winning his match. At Oklahoma Baptist University, April 16, hard luck still dogged Hayes's charges, but they showed improvement, win- ning 2 of 6 matches. But the following Wednesday the netmen hit a winning stride against McMurry College, here from Abi- lene, Texas, and tagged the Texans with a 4-U defeat. On Friday, April 23, the tean encountered Southwestern Teachers on a Durant court and lost 4-2, with Behrens winning number one singles and Behrens and Aldridge teaming to take No. l doubles. At Ada on the twenty-eighth, the East Central squad handed them a 5-l beating, and once more it was Behrens who saved the team by winning No. l singles. ln two matches this spring, the girl's tennis team has broken even, losing to University of Oklahoma, l-3, and defeating Okla- homa Baptist University, 4-0.

TOP ROW: Don Utt, Brutus Terry, Tom Heggen, EERS EPTEMBER 22, l936, should be an epoch-making date in O. C. U.'s history. For on that date Carl Phelps Smith gave birth to the idea of a new men's pep club on the Scarabian campus. That evening Carl and his brother, Donald Valdeen Smith, called together a group of prominent campus lobbyists, who met in the Smith home. ln that little gathering, the Bug-A-Neers, nee the Goldbugs, was ushered into the world. First officers of the infant club were named at that session. lts founder, Carl Smith, was installed as first president. Don Utt, one of its more enthusiastic promulgators, was named vice- president. Tom l-leggen was put in as secretary and Donald Smith, treasurer, After a certain amount of thought on the matter, the mem- bers blossomed out wearing brilliant purple gabertex, decor- ated with all the gold trappings the manufacturer would in- clude for S4. From the first, it was rather a cruel and chilly world in which the embyro club found itself. The club fathers found it a trying job to obtain pledges. But by flashing the subdued new shirts, boys were gradually signed up, until the member- ship reached its ultimate figure, 30. A highlight of the Bug-A-Neers' first year was their float in the annual Homecoming Parade. Doug Smythe's car was decorated with plumes and feathers for the occasion, and the Bug-A-Neer queen, Mrs. Rusty Harris, decked in a flowing Bug-A-Neer cape, rode proudly on the deck. The Bug-A-Neers hibernated during the winter months. The only sign of life about the club was Phil Howes, who con- tinued to wear his shirt faithfully every school day, and twice on Sunday-Tom Heggen. Q? 132 H? RESHMAN rules are the life of the O Club, Scarabia's union of athletic lettermen. Each autumn there is a meet- ing of the men of might, and they start out to enforce disci- pline among the first-year men, using stout oaken staves as a means to the end. Along about the second week of October, the thwacking sound of wood meeting freshman begins to grow monotonous, and the O Club reverts to status quo, there to remain until September comes again. V Most of this group of promising young athletes live in constant disorder in the Rice I-louse, across from the Intra- mural Gym. They are known, unofficially, as the Rice House Rats. The house-father is Reo Bear Rice, who teaches them plain and fancy cuss-words, and how to act around ladies, Mother Rice is the house-mother, and also the bill collector, because these are promising young athletes. Several former UO club members have taken places in the sports spotlight. Ace Gutowsky, who made one all-Amer- ican team while a Scarabian, is fullback on the Detroit Lions professional team. Last season he was the leading ground- gainer in pro football and was named on the second all- American pro team. Orville Tuttle, president of the O club last year and assistant O. C. U. coach this season, has just signed a contract to play football with the New York Giants. Besides their perennial efforts to make the Freshmen wear frosh caps, and trot on Fridays, the O Club elects officers in the autumn and initiates new musclemen in the spring. Twelve men were initiated this year. Iohn Trapper Talley reigned as president. Other officers were Spec Wayland, vice- presidentg and Morris Newman, secretary-treasurer.-Vivion Spec Wayland. -:-- 133 --z- ee 99 CLUB TOP ROW: Shirl Wood- worth, Trapper Talley, Or- ville Tuttle, George Moss, Morris Newman, Dee Coley, lulius Sas, Elgar Olvey, Iohn Anderson, Nim New- berry, Woody Rentfro.

HESE Yell-O-lackets, like the insect which their title connotes, have a habit of persisting in what they want until they get it. Last September, for instance, they had to choose two presidents before certain mem- bers were satisfied, but elect them they did. lt all started last September when Norman Glass was named to lead the pack. But some of the absentee brothers were not sure about it, and they called an abortive movement with the verdict this time-Fred W. Marsh. Mr. Glass gracefully bowed out. Most men's stunts at football games were joint work of the Yell-O-Iackets and the Bug- - ?-- 134 ' .......Vice-President ........SeC'y-Treas. A-Neers. ln other demonstrations both groups joined with the Ladybugs. Yell-O- Iacket leaders, working with Blue Key tra- ternity, did much to promote athletic excur- sions to Edmond and Wichita during the year. Another traditional task, guarded jealous- ly by the club, is enforcement of freshman cap rules. The Yell-O-lackets usually act as spotters for violations, calling upon the O club for heavy measures of punishment. Yell-O-Iackets is the University's oldest pep organization, having following an un- broken existence since l922, when it was founded by Victor Harlow, Ir., its first presi- dent.-Bob Spooner. '+- We have learned T0 LAUGH LIIVE AT URTGAGE MANUR By Bill Beasley, Who Hath Plighteal His Truth AW, I always will get a buzz outta this love stuff and talk l'm alluz hearin' around this dive. lt appears certain to me that there's so many different kinds of feelin' and actin' about it all, l just can't seem to get uster all that stuff. l remember my friends ole Ernie Miller, and Smut Harris, and Graft Hall alluz looked right pert and happy-like, but now since they got them- selves chained to a slot-machine they look like ole Candle-light which is my pet raz- or-back hog with the belly-ache. lt began to worry me some, so l reckoned l'd best ask some questions about this love business. The boys tole me that to get this stuff you had to have personality, and they pointed out this Bob Wade to me asayin' that he had a magnetic personality. l fig- gered and figgered and the only reason 1 could see that he had a magnetic personal- ity was because everything he had on was charged. Wal, l got to sguintin' at this young'un in particular, but right off l see he doesn't do so hot. He gambled off his dresser against his girl with x'Race-Track Dunnica and lost his dresser, then he lost his girl, then he lost his moustache, then someone shaved his head, and now he's in the army. l 'low l don't see no advantage to that. Then l got to watchin' the carryin' on of this Puss Gragg and Elizabeth McNubs, fig- gerin' l'd study the sick-lookin' type. Waal, they looked sick enough all right, so l got to askin' 'em questions. Puss said he loved her all right but she's so awful fat but he thought he could get around that. He said when she was forty he'd trade her for two twenties. But the thing about her that made him mad was that she kissed him like she had her tongue stuck in a beer bottle. Now McNubs says you'll have to forgive Puss because he's from Pryor Creek and that's a town where a single haircut chang- es the looks of the whole town. But she said ..K.. r what she hated about him wuz the fact that he wuz so conceited. She said that on his last birthday he sent his mother a telegram of congratulations. Then l passed on to the just blank-lookin' type, and there l ran into this Seesaw Low- ery and Martha Raye Curnutt Cl don't think her real name is Martha Raye but Every time l see her that's who l'm reminded ofl. Now they ain't the sick type at all, their's is sorta the come-and-gitit, or jump-and-hittit, or jumpin' jitters sort. l saw 'em at one of the school endurance contests and they acted as how they wuz standin' on hot coals. He tole me confiden- tial that he knew it was bad form, but he'd take her at her face value if she'd only learn to hold a cigarette like she wasn't askeared it wuz goin' off any minnit. So you see that's the way it goes. They're al- luz arunnin' each other down all the Way through. But somehow, l just can't forget my lil ole Goosey Mae back in the mountains.-Gosh but she's rugged. l know my last trip home l tole her l had bought some calf shoes and she said after lookin' me over, Waal, l shore pity the cow that had the calf Whot would make you a pair of shoes, and that's what l liked about her-she's so thoughtful of others' feelin's. al' ir ir PHROSHOSOPHY Oh, Brethren, all there is to life ls eat and sleep and take a wife, Nearly all the food we get ls better left alone. We have reason for regret When freedom once is gone. Can we know While we are living What a nightmare death is giving? Brethren, make the best of life Eat and sleep and cuss a wife. -Romney Philpott. 136 -+- m H ,x A YIDUNG 'MAN'S FANCY TOP BOW: The silence is golden type, Mary Maude Godfrey cmd Red Duntord, Love on the run, Bert Weeks and Pat Webster, the paws that refreshes, Bob Lobaugh and Betty Armstrong.

SWEED SEDIMENT FBUB DIVSEWEB Phil Dessauer Surveys Greeks and Barbs AST year we panned the fraternal and sororal organizations and got our- selves threatened with actual physical violence. This season We are seeking to prove that there are some things a person can't learn even by harsh experience. Our southern chivalry says Ladies First. lf you think we mean the sororities, don't be silly. The Phi Chis, the girl's fraternity, of course. The boys, and we use the word reserved- ly, started off the year by breaking all polit- ical ties, as they phrased it . . . What real- ly happened was that they couldn't get any- body to be on their side except the Kappa Taus . . . Or didn't they want Pete Glass? . . . Downing lost the student council pres- idency by eight votes and the Delta Psi chapter . . . The fellows signed up all three deans, mostly for protection, and are out looking for another to make a fourth at bridge . . . Nope, no crack about the dum- my. Now the femmes, with the Phi Delta lead- ing the pack because we feel sorry for 'em. . . . They lost so many members by mar- riage and withdrawal that they scarcely have enough left for a good game of soli- taire. . . Zelma Bice called a meeting one Monday night and the only persons who showed up were five Delta Psis . . . Funny thing, though, the professors scarcely missed a one of the members who dropped out of school . . . The gals got the dropping out habit so bad they couldn't stop, and drop- ped out of two queen elections . . . Then they dropped out of Scarab Stunt Nite com- petition . . . Personally, we think they just wanted an alibi . . . The one important contribution of the year came about when they cost the Delta Psis the interfrat base- ball championship by coming out to watch the games . . . Some folks say, though, that a little hitting would have helped the D. P.'s, too. Kappa Elliottau Deltas are just about the QS.. r top of the feminine world to the Kappa El- liottau Deltas . . . Mary Virginia lost Scar- ab queen when the student council told her she couldn't vote six times .... The fac- ulty felt bad about such a raw deal and voted her most respected best girl of Bill Beasley . . . lean Field grabbed so many guys by the neck during various elections that now she can't find one brave enough to have a date with her . . . Sally Io Clark was crowned Campus queen at the Grid- iron, even if she did have to take the tiara out of Editor Bennetts ten thumbs and put it on herself .... The club lost two mem- bers at mid-term . . . Virginia Metz and Elgar Olvey. Next, the Beta Alpha Phis, and friend, when you say them woids, say Beta Alpha Pheeze, to rhyme with fleas . . . But it's B. A. Phize, to rhyme with flies . . . Eleanore Stauffer became Scarab queen, but only af- ter the gals almost had to call in the alum- nae . . . Helen Snipes had to live down a name like that, so she buried herself for three or four years in the registrar's office . . . . Stauffer, Snipes, and Christine Chaffin, together with Fred Marsh and a couple of others, sold pop and candy during Senior day to raise money for the senior memorial. The girls of Phi Phi Phi, better known as Tri Phi, and there's only one Way to pro- nounce it, represent the unknown quantity HX . . . Their chief claim to distinction during the year is in the fact that they fur- nished one of the prime all-important ques- tions of the century . . . Banking with the Supreme Court issue, the National League pennant race, CIO sit-down strikes and oil extension as the most pertinent problems of the day was that all-overpowering question, IS RACHEL ALLEN DUMB? . . . Her sister Tri Phis would not be quoted until they talk- ed to her, and she couldn't talk to anybody, being too busy shouting, Noi at every- body she saw, whether the persons shouted at knew what she was talking about or not. 138 fr- Next, the A. O.'s, which could stand for Any Oldthing, but which really means Al- pha Omega, we think . . . The members as a rule kept pretty quiet during the year, pre- ferring to sit back and let Peggy Moore and Howard Thornton do the talking . . . Prexy Margaret Galyen Cas in Galyen of gasolinel went into the finals of the Campus queen election and the gals all agreed they almost had something there . . . If she had been elected the chapter would probably have broken up and rested on its laurels for all eternity . . . The club finished second in the scholarship cup competition, being top- ped only by the Kappa Taus, who must study ALL the time . . . The A. O.'s had no trouble finishing second, however .... They could beat the Phi Delts without even going to class . . . Maybe they did. And now for the frats, those big boys with little stuff. The Delta Psis, good ol' Delta Psis, who give all the poor little girls a great big break, are all alike, at least in the estima- tion of the Phi Chis . . . The boys go around trying to get honest looks on their faces . . . But they still look like combine lads . . . Except Willie Boone, who looks like a student council president, which is much worse . . . He stepped out as tem- porary prexy to give the pee-pul another election . . . He knew all the time he'd get it again . . . And then there's Spooner, who has the slickest line for a pledgemaster you ever heard . . . The boys heard the Phi Chis were coming to the D. P. dance drunk . . . . If they had, it would have been just too bad at the P. C. formal, because the LJ P.'s have by far the best time when in that condition of any clan this side of the Antarc- tic . . . Editor Bennett spent so much time wondering whether people would like him that he kept the Campus from being parti- san, or even radical . . . How did he ex- pect to get it read? The Theta Kappa Knus are the lads with a debt whose size rivals that of the year's unpaid tuitions . . . Beezel Beasley is the most unpredictable guy in school . . . Bob Lobaugh and George Dunnica started the -.- 'lf ,J-B no-shave 89ers' club when they ran out of razor blades . . . They got a week's start on the rest of the field and still couldn't beat Bill Branum's crop . . . These Theta Nus are the lads who are just one big happy family until time to use the phone at night . . When somebody said there's no place like home, he must have meant the T. N. house . . . He was right . . . There's no place like it . . . The Bell sisters are president of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Theta Nus . . . Add cracks: When Lobaugh and Dunnica shaved their beards, they looked like Theta Nudes. The Kappa Phis are definitely the he-man type . . . Don't go in for mental giants much . . . There are some smart guys in, though . . . The 89er club was meat ior Petrovitch . . . Hasn't shaved since . . . Said he was growing his foliage for a rc.- of Henry Vlll in a Scarab Stunt Nite skit . . . He wrote the skit so he wouldn't have to shave . . . One guy brought a date to the club's spring formal, and they Ciliixuo. L... -W him out . . . Only trouble with Miller Hays as a yell leader was that the crowd could always see and hear him . . . Some day the club will put on a clean act in a stunt nite program, but Glass won't write it . . . The club was in political doldrums but Bea- vers was elected senior president . . . The seniors must have taken the Ram by the horns. Who threw that? And last but certainly not fleeced are the Barbs, who got in the thick of things at the first of the year . . . And forgot to stay there . . . Barbangle was a good piece, but the editor didn't keep it up . . . The Barbs didn't enter intramural sports . . . They didn't enter stunt night competition . . . All they entered were loud and frequent howls . . . Phil Howes and Pete Kamitchis waged a furious battle of five-syllable words in the Campus . . . lt looked for a while like a preconceived campaign to crowd some of the columnists out on the margin .... Which might have been a good idea . . . The Barbs are planning big things for next year . . . They always do. -6 139 'RL- BRICKBATS and BUTTERCUPS Bill Beasley Expostulates at Length AY, for our boy Phil d'Sewer. When he took over his job at the Oklahoman and Times what did he do?

Vife had best move on. Heres an interesting place. This used to be Bed NiX's Bar-B-O, but now it's known as Segie Mason's. The elite all stop here. See! There in the back booth are Perry Grittin and Dolores Mayhall. What's that they're drinking? Oh, why that's just sar- saparilla. lt comes in big green botles. Look, in that booth are jeanette Levins and Dorothy McClain, just a couple ot stray Phi Delts. just a tew blocks down the booleyvard is de toughest joint in town. lt's known as Fairrnonts.

That's the great Orville Painting Sherman. There in that corner with Pat Webster is Virgil Downing. Yeah, l know she goes steady with Bert Weeks, but Bert isn't scared of Downing. While were out here in the disreputable section of town, well drive by the Cicero ot the city, known as the uLittle Gray Home in the Bed, where the Theta Nus live.

My mistake. l was just looking in a mirror. Say, that looks like Truman Snookerball Evans and Star Miller in the second booth. Hero comes jess Fronterhouse and Doc Arne Hunninen, so wed better leave now before the party gets rough. The last, and hottest, spot on tonight's card is the Silver Dollar Nite Club. This is a notorious place, so look at all the Delta Psis. joe Baker and Doug Yeager are get- ting out ot the car. That's a sweet blond that Doug has with him, Wonder where he picked her up? Looks like Lois Coy with joe. Look, theres Perry Griffin againl He must be about halt-shot, because he usually ends up here. There are Carl Bobinson, jack Pallis, and john Fireman Firby, a dangerous Delta Psi-Barb-Kappa Phi com- bination. They must be building a house, because they are doing a good job ot plas- tering. Don't look now, but l think that Willard l'Little-Man-VVith-Big-Stutt'' Boone is behind us, so don't say too much. Oh, goodness me, here comes the whole Theta Nu chap- ter, with Bill Beasley in the lead. The party will be getting rough, so it's time to leave. Come again tomorrow night and well go slumming.

YE , I9 THE G0 T By Vivian llfayland and Ghostwritar Iieazel O all you carriers on of the masculine pride of this, our great university, l shall pour out my soul, and bare the truths of attaining that most coveted position of Royal Ram. lt was in the spring of l936 when l first conceived the idea that Royal Ram was a title just created for me alone, and it was then l started my campaign to attain it. That year l stood by and watched mighty Bevo Beavers walk off with the butting hon- ors, and l became cur- ious as to his techni- que. Two pieces of pickled herring and a bottle of beer loosed the tongue of the great Beavers, and he said that the secret of his success was his friendship with Zelma Rice Cwho want- ed to be queen of something elsel and the fact that he was just a plenty swell fel- low anyhow. Well, l knew l didn't have a chance with this Zelma. Besides she had a job and didn't want to be queen any- more. So l began to look around for a nice gushy little girl who wanted to be queen of something, and who had a following. After carefully picking over the crop of Billye Robinson, Rebecca Harrison and Esther Mae Wymore, l decided Wymore should be my campaign manager because she was gushy and she had a following. l scanned my field of opponents. Now there was 'llsove Drop Meyers whom the girls would never elect because when the girls love a man, they want to do most of the lov- ..'- ., r dm 'Q Vivion Wayland, Royal Ram ing, but Meyers loved A. G. more than any gal who ever breathed. Then there came Beasley whose feet were to big to attract anyones votes, so l knew there were two of the candidates out of the way. Now this Red Dunford worried me considerably. Girls like to chew on a boy's ears, and this Red was just the lad to let them. The Phi Chis had up the one and only Dick Talbot, but the girls couldn't make up their minds whether or not he was an eligible candidate. With the exception of Red Dunford, l felt pret- ty secure, but l bought the cokes for at least two hundred girls one morning at the Bug. That's what won the race. Dunford was broke. Then came the rush. Photographers, con- tracts, endorsements, benefits, stage offers, etc., came pouring into my modest home Cljire Station No. 65 by the armload. Would l let this great honor turn my head? Gosh, no! l would keep right on working at the packing plant and selling ad- vertising for the school paper. And then the great plot entered my mind. Yessir, l would stay right here and groom myself into position for Scarab Queenship. This time l had a real job. The boys of course could vote, too, on this elec- tion, and that's what defeated me there. The boys don't love me like the girls do-l don't know why, either, for l'm awful sweet to them both. Next year l am going to begin with Freshman Queen, and run for every queenship right on down during the year. 146 Hi' . ,I We yi Tfespwit JUST US GIRLS TOP ROW: Reserved by request, Phyllis Taylor, Private Property, No Trespassin' and a fifty dollar fine, Pat Webster, For sale, but not for lorn, Lillian Newton.

TIIE FINISH, BY G Sll . By Freshman Romney Philpott HE longest distance between two points is a line waiting to be enrolled. We Freshmen don't know how it happened but We have a bill for it. Like men who marry their landladies for rent, we are at last a part of the O. C. U. household, and consequently no longer honest complainers. The upper classmen kept us in tow and we steamed after without recess to our in- tellects. Freshmen follow directions about as well as little Bo Peep's sheep, but we learned the general idea was to kick the heels of the person ahead while your own were likewise being trod upon-a sort of pass it on game under the guise of ne- cessity. A Freshman mixer was held, or rather let loose, in a place called the gymnasium. lt was exactly like a basketball court. At the door was Marian Buchanan, on the lookout for what she later found was lanky Tom Philpott. A group of girls, grinning like 'possums, pinned little cards on the Fresh- men and wrote their names thereon. Bar- bara Everidge wrote on her card, Call me -when it's time to eat. To save us from being lost, a covey of girls tagged us in a pleasant manner and we began to produce our personalities. The assembly, as before said, was advertised as a mixer, but there wasn't a drink in the house. There were plenty of lemons and sour jokes, among them being Truman Evans of the hyprocritical name. ln the bal- loon bursting contest, the group of Norman Glass lost. His was so pretty he kept it. Pat Dunlop slipped through the punch line three times before he discovered everyone could have all they wanted. While Pat fished the final seed out of the punch bowl, the remainder of us lined up for a worm dance to make everybody feel at home. lt was a natural. The freshmen made a chain-gang to represent a thousand legged centipede, ferry Smith brought up the rear. The object of the worm dance was to count up to 999 in pig-latin, hopping on one foot all the while until the lost leg was found. St. Vitus was said to have turned over in his grave. President Williamson, fthe same who looked for a collection plate after his fresh- man assembly speechl, was grinning a dentists paradise. He wanted to play but the game was too complicated. The mixer broke up like a railroader's picnic, and all of us, to the man, including Carl Smith, went directly home to our studies. ln our wanderings one day we found our- selves in a furious madhouse labeled the Varsity Shoppe. Everyone was dropping pins to see who could produce the highest pitched tone. Now and then we heard an elbow rasping on a table and, occasionally, the uproarious gurgle of a straw being milked for the last few drops. Lexey Cragin, Emily Powers, and Betty Angle were standing around like buzzards, watching for someone to buy a coke. Now and then, A. G. Myers elbow rasped hide- ously on a table. lla Bae Curnutt caused plenty of saucer eyes. You lost her, said Tommy Hilbourne to his accomplice whom we were afraid of mis- taking for Bob Lobaugh. CBob can withdraw under his eyebrows like a turtle and his nose got the growth his brain should have hadl. Well, saved us a nickel anyway. That is a quarter we have saved in the last hour, said the unidentified, with an undertaker's cheerfulness. While the person at the cash register was telling us the boy the girl lost was Bob Lo- baugh, one group of boys, appropriately at a corner table, became sacriligious. You old teetotalers and lames Brown rise to the de- fense of the jug! Arise and cry aloud. Be furious like the breakfast club on your neighbor's radio. 15 148 4- FR ESIIMAN FIGHT Freshmen must lightl lt's tradition, besides the sophomores, who have just escaped the green and have acquired a bit of dignity, also must let go and tight, A swell excuse and anyway it means one less chapel a year lwhich is a good reason to do anythingl. You can wear your old clothes to school and get all dirty and the girls squeal, and every one has a ducky time. These pictures show the two brave classes engaged in glorious combat for the cause ot higher education REMNANTS, RIGAMABIILE AND STUFF By Romney Philpott, Who is Faithful at the Key Hole OLUMNAB Orville Sherman feels a real interest in everyone . . . real as in real estate. Cosmopolitan Stan Pate, scribe of sports immorals, thinks his hand fits Betty Sulli- van's back like a glove. CTl'1is will give lack Talbott fitsl Gale Gotebo once underwent a blood transfusion with a phonograph needle. Candy-haired Marian Coffman, luscious ballet dancer, figured in many a fine arts program this year. They changed the name of the Goldbug to the Varsity Shoppe, but Orville Tuttle wasn't confused. Bob and Bill Grubb, basketball brothers, spent two days in the library reading Brit- anica before they discovered it wasn't a history of England. George Moss's mother will help him enroll again next year. George Storms, to impress the Frosh in geology class, volunteered that the four sea- sons of the year are spring, summer, fall, and autumn. When it registered, he felt like a mill waiting for change. lla Bae Curnutt, live ringer for Bette Dav- is, is from Muskogee, that mail box on the highway between Sapulpa and Poteau. Francis Clark thinks that if Iefferson grade school has a traffic policeman, we ought to rate one. Richard Carson does a lot of lying on the grass when on the grass he lies. Phil Howes is so clumsy that he uses a blue print and compass to scratch his back. Herbert Siegal, of the Bahston Siegals, says he has no respect for a young man who can't skin and quarter a hog. Hugh Byler sets the alarm clock in his mothers room so she will get him to school on time. Do you wonder why all the girls have chapped cheeks? Doug Yeager has grown a luxurious doormat for the '89er run. Tommy Heggen gets up early to beat his ,gn 150 sister, Ruth, to the pink underwear. Warning: Don't ask Don Utt and Chick Davis to play poker, especially if their pal Eddie Davis stands over your back and tells you how to play your hand. ir i' 'A' lt was in Delta Psi meeting one night - Willie called for personal criticism and A. G. Myers politely stood on a chair. Why, he asked Lawrence Meyers, do you go around telling everybody we are brothers' We are brothers, aren't we? and the guilty Lawrence's eyes began to mist over. l don't want to hurt nobody's feelings, but I have spent years establishing myself and you go around hanging on my reputa- tion. A. G. put a kindly hand on Law- rence's shaking shoulders. The Walk the Straight Path committee, headed by Earl Smith, reported on church attendance, and bitterly accused limmy Brown of drinking at the last basketball game. 'tl was not, pouted limmy, ul acted that way because l got Grandma's glasses by mistake and couldn't see very well. lt wasn't Grandma's glasses we smelled in the huddle, insisted Orville Tuttle.
