We have it. Awe-inspiring, but not frightening. Culture? Authors, artists, musicians, and teachers account for a notable portion of our population. Our symphony orches- tra is one of the finest in the Southwest. lndustry? Our city is the industrial center of the state. Still, we've reserved ample room for clean, un-crowded residential areas. Transportation facilities? Ours of the highest in the nation. Our young people can choose from a plentitude of useful, satisfactory, well- compensated vocations. Climates? We enjoy approximately three-hundred flying days each year. We burn natural gas, and do not envy the coast- dwelling smog breathers. People? With due respect to the factors listed above, it is still the people who make the city what it is. We are friendly folk. We work hard. We raise cattle for the market and oil from the ground. We raise some cotton, too, and feed for the cattle. We mine coal and zinc, and log a lot of timber. And we play hard. We ride, and hunt, and fish. We golf a little, and we love to eat out. We spend a lot of our t-ime out of doors. We appreciate our old people, and we ably care for our sick. We are proud of our forbearers, and prouder still of our sons and daughters. We know that our young people of today will be our leaders, cultural, professional, political, and industrial, of tomorrow, We recognize the need of qualifying them for the tasks. We start them early and train them well. Because our faith is important to us, we synchronize it with education. We firmly believe that Christian education is our primary sustaining source of growth and achievement. Our centrally-located Okla- homa City University looms as a bulwark of this deeply- valued Christian education, and casts a shadow of abid- ing reassurance over the length and breadth of our city and our state.

George Emery Meador began teaching at OCU in the fall of l923. A Phi Beta Kappa himself he is chairman of the OCU honors committee. He orginated our Magna Cum Laude honor program and has supervised it since its incep- tion. He has operated it on the princi- ples of Phi Beta Kappa and made it a true honor. A mathematics teacher since his arrival here, he is a full pro- fessor of mathematics. To his associates and colleagues and to his students he brings the clear, clean understanding of logical thinking. A man of personal honor he is the right man to direct our honors programs.

We join your many friends with congratulations upon your graduation from Oklahoma City Univer- sity. Your unwavering determination, your academic achievement and your personality, give assurance of your future success. We shall follow you with confidence and prayers for your success. This volume is your memento of the years spent on the campus. The editors have reminded you of the faculty, the classes, the social groups, the sports and the many interesting things you have done and seen. We should like for you to remember also the progress of your alma mater during your four years here. You witnessed OCU become accredited by the North Central Association, by the University Senate, by the National Schools of Music and by the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association. You saw the opening of the Technical School and the Law School and the organization of the School of Busi- ness. You saw the building of the magnificient Gold Star Memorial Library and School of Religion, and the purchase of our great downtown school build- ing for the Evening College. We have tried to keep before you an example of progress. We promise to continue to improve your alma mater so that you may cherish with pride and profit the memory of the years spent there. Keep your vision, your faith in God, your ambi- tion, your courage and your health. Keep proper balance. Remember that the man who always has his head above the clouds finds it hard to keep his feet on the ground, but, the man who always has his feet on the ground finds it difficult to get his eyes off it. You will always be members of the OCU family. Come home as often as you can. May God richly bless and reward you and yours always. Cordially yours, 1.4 I 'PQ 'T Dr. Harry Hanson, Dr. E.

Smifh The President There is an old newspaper abbreviation that means correct The abbreviation is CQ Here at OCU that term is right. We have the Correct man to direct the operation of this thriving University. He brought a background-of experience with him on June l, l94l when he assumed the reins of OCU. Former vice-president of Southern Methodist and president ot Mc- Murry college, he built and directed operation of Harris Memorial hospital, Fort Worth, Texas, and was president ot the Texas State Hospital Association. A teacher with such experience and superintendent ot schools in Memphis, Texas, President Smith entered the ministry and served the Weatherford Street church, Mulkey Memorial church and Polytechnic church in Fort Worth and the First Methodist church, Brownwood, Texas. He also served as Presiding Elder of the Cisco, Texas church district and after his stay at SMU he became district superintendent ot Methodism in St. Louis. During his third year there he was elected president ot the Metropolitan Federation ot Churches of St. Louis which guides the com- bined program ot over 400 churches. Since arrival here, OCU has grown, in physical plant and in enrollment. The net assets have increased over 55,000,000 and there are now 75 buildings where there were six when he took over. A man of foresight and tolerance, with more experience than we can list, he is providing OCU with true leadership in educational as well as religious areas.

Niles has successfully filled the role of Administrative Dean of the University and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. A former college president and active minister and churchman he has spearheaded much of the academic reorganization of the University and kept the smile he has ready for everyone. y4,,,gq-vvwf-Q,w 'L , The Academic Deans Dean Roger L. Stephens headed the Law School when it was the Oklahoma City Law School and when that school joined OCU last year moved over with it to be Dean of the Oklahoma Cit Universit School of Law Dean Clarence Burg has been heading the School of Music since thefall of 1928. While the school had been growing fine prior to that time, it was after his arrival that the School of Music received the accreditations it now has and become one of the best known in the Southwest. N v-' The newest dean on the campus, Glen D Overman capably took the helm of the School of Business when the beloved Peter Swartz moved from Dean to Dean Y Y ' Many years of practical law experience and a brilliant personality qualify him for his position. Emeritus. A man of ideas and of action he brought new programs from his other executive posts to his job to supplement these already in operation. At one time or another nearly every student consults with Dean Lester A. Jones, Dean of Admissions and Registrar. Probably the one man who knows more about individual student re- quirements than any person at OCU. Josephine Bell, serves the University capably as Dean of Women and keeper of the school calendar. A kindly lady she advises the women students and keeps conflicts off of the Univer- sity calendar of events. Her other activities include teaching English. The Administrative Deans Dean George H. Ryden, Dean of Men, is an administrator and teacher. His main job, how- ever, is helping the men students with their problems.

Someone has to run the adminis- trative end. This entails everything from cleaning up the classrooms to planning buildings. Many things go on in the average day that a student never notices. This is all handled by the non-teaching administrative department. When pupils caught a first glimpse of their final test sheet, they didn't stop to think that the University Press may have printed them. After paying their bills, many heads and hands were required to make the money pay. Even be- fore entering school some people called for infor- mation, using the university switchboard. The field house has to be cleaned up after games and ve- terans must be taken care of. All of this is taken care of by the behind-the-scenes personnel, of the '09 University Press staff: Claudine Hef- ner, James Sherry, Verla Weiden, Charles Burnett and James Palmer, Seated.

Student Government ln the hands of the Student Senate lies the power for student government. Composed of representatives for each campus organiza- tion and each class. This group has the control of the program of student activities and the student activity fees. They are responsible for the allotment of these fees to the various groups and organi- zations requesting money from the budget. The senate also has the power to appoint members to various groups such as the Board of Publication. All student elections are in the hands of the senate also. This year the group sponsored the fresh- man-sophomore day, senior day and was in charge of the refreshment stand for the bas- ketball games, and co-sponsored homecoming with the alumni office. The senate is expressive of student in- terest in university affairs and functions in the interest of the students. The senate is largely responsible for the close harmony existing be- tween the administration and the student body. Standing: Franklin Crader, tlrst semester president.

O o Q o W7 Sv' I A 90 q2E???f Jfib. L33 The College of Arts and Sciences The heart of any University is its liberal arts pro- gram. The earliest educational institutions were devoted wholly to the so-called liberal arts and nearly all colleges and universities in the world have developed from that initial core of widespread knowledge. Without a strong liberal arts program, no college or university is eligible for the name of an institution of higher learning. Here at OCU we have a liberal arts pro- gram to be proud of, one based on solid academic back- grounds. This past year our liberal arts faculty adopted the name of College of Arts and Sciences. The five divisions were retained. They are Humanities division, Science division, Social Studies division, Professional and Voca- tional division and General Education division. Humanities strives to accent a balance between rights and duties, claims and obligations that the in- dividual must have in making his adjustment to society, both contemporary society and the history of mankind. The Science division in spreading the knowledge made available through scientific investigations educates the student in objectivity and substantial background for further education in advanced professional and graduate study. Nations have risen and collapsed on the ideas of people such as those stressed in the Social studies. To them the proper study of mankind, is man. For those people who want to directly utilize the knowledges of liberal arts in a profession or vocation, the Professional and vocational division gives training. Here students learn how to directly apply the knowledge gain- ed in their other courses in occupations such as teach- ing and journalism and office work. To make sure that students who specialize in a few departments of the University still get an introduction and understanding to all the phases of liberal arts, the General Education division offers courses in art apprecia- tion, music appreciation, the sciences, math, and wes- tern culture among others to help the student become well rounded in his education. is ,f Ml :J sf' LU l'l Q57 L. 1 O The Gold Star Memorial A growing landmark of Oklahoma City, the Gold Star Memorial Library and School of Religion, will be ready for occupancy when students return to their stu- dies next tall. The building, comparable to a ten story structure, will house the University's library and School of Re- ligion, Construction on the campus building was begun in December, l949. The decorative star atop the tower is a memorial to the dead of World War ll and the tower itself presents a stately symbol of progressive education, When opened next September, only the lower part of the building will be used. Present plans call for ultimate completion of the upper section for class and other use but work is delayed at this time, X Rx Ari Sfudios Library Field House The H umanifies F aculfy Speech: Jacob D.

Lee. At that time students at Washington, now Wash- ington and Lee University, worked at the printing trade and studied the classical courses of the school. Basically the same pro- gram is still in effect, that of gaining practical experience and learning about the world at large. However, here at OCU the program has advanced to the point where the students can secure their bachelor of arts degree and spe- cialize in such areas as editorial journalism, advertising, public relations and industrial journalism and get experience both on campus and in the city. At present, jobs available still outnumber qualified students. RICHARD J. A. STRUCK, CLIFTON L. GROSSMAN siZS.Q Aiki-'.' 'T' T' ' J ' SECOND ROW: Alfred E.

A American Chemical Society Dr. Stanley Lomanitz founded the Alpha Chap- ter of the American Chemical Society in l949, and has been its sponsor since then. Aiding in the purpose of acquainting the students with the latest advances in the field of chemistry, guest speakers from the industrial field addressed the monthly meetings. Seax Geferscipe Literally translated The Order of the Royal Dagger , Seax is the literary organization for all English majors and minors. The group meets twice a month in the home of Dr. James J. Hayes to criticize one anothers embryonic genius and to study the latest masterpieces of members in some phase of English. Psychology Club This group was organized in No- vember of l95l for students interested in psychology and in post-graduate work in that field. The members in- vited guest speakers to their meetings and with the aid of educational films, learned how to carry out their purpose, to inform, to acquaint, to advance and to promote the field of psychology. Methodist Student Movement Many charitable enterprises are spon- sored each year by members of MSM. Per- haps the best known is the aid and guidance given to Bethlehem Community Center for negro children here in Oklahoma City. Brotherhood in Christianity was ex- emplified by a successful fund raising cam- paign for underprivileged foreign nationals this year along with many other worth-while projects. Religious E ducaiion Club Members ofthe Religious Education club exhibit belief in Christian ideals every day which is the cardinal purpose of the organization. illustrating this purpose were the contributions which were donated by members of the organization to help de- fray tuition expenses of a displaced European student, who is now a religious education major here at OCU. Another important function of the club is to dispatch selected deputation teams to churches over the state who guest-conduct the religious services.

Press Club F Undoubtedly one of the most active groups on the campus, the Press Club sponsored a food- basket drive for needy families in Oklahoma City and the annual benefit show, Keshena Kapers. The Kapers is the biggest all- student activity of the year, and as in past years was a smash hit. Plans for a trip to St. Louis and Kansas City was the club's one setback when not enough of the members could raise the money, each was to pay his own way. Monthly meetings included food in huge quantities for emaciated journalists. Flash Crane led the first semester, with the pride of the AP, Nick Foltz, taking over for the second term. Other first term officers were Regina Rockwood, secretary and Nick Foltz, trea- surer. Second semester included: Bob Bartlett, vice-president, Ann Williams, secretary. .lar :rs sic: Q its cam, KESHENA KAPEBS FRIDAY THE I3 if xx v, A , la LS fmiyx-,Ei K ml ...'i'-f- ,, . ,A x '.

For the past nine months the ears of the pigeons that flit about the eaves of the Fine Arts auditorium have been subjected to untold decibels of sound, some of it cacophonous, most of it harmonious. Those hours of daily and nightly rehearsal by stu- dents of the School of Music were only a portion of their activities. Mindful that public performance is the laboratory of the musician, students and faculty of the School of Music participated in more than 600 perform- ances this past year. These appearances included tele- vision and radio programs, church functions, convention meetings, public concerts and numerous school activities. The appearance of the choir before educational groups and civic organizations have drawn heavy applause and raves. Happily located in the music center of the South- west, the School of Music boasts a highly competent, full- trained faculty which is ever alert to trends in music. Instruction is given in both instrumental and vocal music areas. The program in public school music certifies graduates for positions in music teaching. Positions available still outnumber the number of qualified gradu- ates our music school turns out. Many of the faculty members have many, many years of experience and study and represent a foundation for music in the area. Their reputa- tions have grown through the years and national acclaim has been show- ered on the school and faculty. A recent book on im- portant aspects of the United States gave our music school a solid pat on the back, one of the few schools in the country to receive such, and the only one in the Southwest. The student, also, be he groaner, scraper, toot- er, or thumper, deserves a measure of recognition, His contribution to the prestige and stature of the school of music has been in keeping with the highest traditions of sea- sons past. lt has been a happy, busy year. Now it is time to fold the music and case the instruments with a last caress. Tomorrow, horizons un- limited! But right now, largo, maestro, largo ........

Williams as a charter member, now has Mr. Williams as a sponsor. Any piano student is elig- ible for affiliation with the club. Orchesfra The orchestra of OCU enjoys a long-standing repu- tation as one of foremost college musical aggregations in the southwest. This year's organization accomplished a great deal toward augmenting and re-inforcing that reputation. The orchestra provided music for church activities, banquets, and .assemblies, and supported several famous musical personalities in concerts and programs during the season. Directed by Professor James Neilson, who wrote the score for the famous Christmas Pageant, the orchestra gained recognition for its partici- pation in this annual event. Conceivably posing no great threat to the prestige of the Philadelphia Philharmonic, neither does the OCU orchestra cause unrest in the graves of the master composers. In addition to its inimi- table treatment of popular music, this group is at its best when the works of the great classical composers are before it on the music stands. No small factor in enhancing the musical reputation of the school, the orchestra of the season past presents several potential luminaries in the field of good music, mwmwwwfr-.M . . 'sw 'sql 'll n'l ', pnnlll fs 1 5931 C hoir As Oklahoma Citians listened to the music in the annual Christmas Pageant, they heard the voices of the choir rise to- gether in lovely unison, singing the beauti- ful passages of the festival. This was only one of the numerous times the choir enthral- led audiences all over the state. ln addition to singing at the North Central Association state conference, held here this year, the Band choir presented a Christmas Caroling event on December l8. Officers for the past sea- son were Ken Gosselin, president, Charles Foster, vice-president, and Dianne Vander- griff, secretary-treasurer. Under the expert tutelage of Professor James Neilson, the OCU choir sustained a full season of re- markable performances. The OCU band had an active and highly successful season, which surprised exactly no one. Under the able direction of Professor James Neilson, the Band has long been rated as a national, top-notch, class-A or- ganization, with con- cert work as it's forte. Featuring the flawless clarinette technique of Dianne Vandergriff, and a trumpet quartet whose performance is as polished as their in- struments, the band made outstanding ap- pearances at concert tours, concert, parades, basketball games, and pep assemblies. Don Kramer, Frank Ristau, Walter Baker, and Joel Whitten are the trum- pet soloists whose de- pendability warmed the cockles of Neilson's heart. Highlights of the season were a concert at the First Methodist Church in Tulsa, and participation in the an- nual Christmas Festival at the Oklahoma City Municipal Auditorium. The OCU Band has one of the largest instru- mental music libraries in the nation. Q nw? Jil W 4 , .

The seven story building provided the class space necessary for many students. Last summer carpenters, plasterers, plumbers and painters worked over the interior. Walls came down, walls went up and last September classes began in the new building. Along with the downtown evening classes in the fields of business and arts and sciences, OCU's newest school went into operation. The newcomer, the School of Law, shared the building with their classes, all of which were held in the evenings. Life moved easier than before with the additional space. Even President Smith set up on additional office for his use in his many contacts with the men and women who operate Oklahoma City. Professor John T.

Robert Arn in charge of Downtown school book store. and education of the evening students. He was capably assisted by his charming wife, Betty Hedges. When classes let out downtown it looked more like 5 o'clock at an office building, for most of the students came straight from work. Not an easy task for people with families and full time jobs. One student received his Bachelors degree after l l years of evening classes. So now we have a building to be proud of for students we have always been proud of.

Th School of Business The primary objective of the School of Business is the preparation of men and women for successful careers in the various fields of business, Although professional competency is an acknowledged goal, special emphasis is given to the personality and character development of the individual student. OCU has offered courses in business subjects for many years. However, this division was organized as a separate professional School of Business in l95l. The faculty in the School of Business, under the direction of Dean Glenn D. Overman, has in the last year worked out a highly flexible program. The individual, under this new program, may choose the special field of busi- ness of his or her major interest and prepare for a career in this area. A student may choose to concentrate in accounting, economics, finance, general business ad- ministration, management, marketing, secretarial ad- ministration, business education or industrial arts. ln designing the course of study in each of these fields, emphasis was placed on the needs of a person entering this particular phase of business. Courses were selected from various departments based entirely upon their value to a student planning to enter that special field. A balanced program of specialized courses, basic business courses, and general courses is included in each area. To avoid over-specialization, each candidate for a degree in the School of Business must complete 40 per cent of his work in general or non-professional classes. Within each course of study there is ample flexibility to permit the student, with the help of his advisor, to select courses to meet his individual needs and interests. The School of Business provides an extensive sche- dule of courses both on the campus and in the downtown division of OCU. The larger part of the campus classes are scheduled in the morning hours to enable regularly enrolled students to engage in part-time employment ,g ,Q-an .ALV ' 1 ,illi.Tg's2?12:'.a'f.aa1222A 1 sg, ' . Mrs. Helen Anderson Secretary to Dean Overman during the afternoon. All downtown classes are held from 5 p.m. to lO p.m. thereby making it possible for persons engaged in full-time jobs either to take specialized business courses or to complete all requirements for a degree or certificate. Graduates from the School of Business find many desirable job opportunities available. Various business firms have made voluntary arrangements to employ students in the School of Business on a part-time basis while attending school, with the understanding that upon completion of their degree these students will be con- sidered for a more responsible position with the firm. The faculty takes an active interest in helping the stu- dent obtain a desirable position with a reliable firm. A student enrolling in the School of Business is subject to the general rules of the University, but pursues a course of studies as recommended by the faculty of the School of Business. Front Row: D. Starr Yeltman, Leona Dole Hulet, Sue Smith Saye and Rex M. King. Back Row: C. R. Roberts, Peter W. Swartz, 0. E. Shoemaker and Dr. Kon-Chi Mui. The School of Business Faculty With the University located in a cosmopolitan city, a student has a wide field of job opportunities to select from. A wise student in the School of Business chooses a job that acts as a laboratory for his regular class work. Many OCU students have begun successful lifetime careers with Oklahoma City firms while attending the University and working on a part-time basis. An intensive business training course of one year can apply toward a degree in business administration. Secretarial training includes concentrated courses in shorthand, typing, transcription, letter writing, filing, office machine operation, secretarial bookkeeping, word study and applied office practice. These courses along with business management and clerical practice courses will equip each student with superior training to place himself in the business world. FH First Row: Harry Nichols, O. E.

During it's brief existence, the OCU Tech school has trained thousands of craftsmen and trained them well. Good trade schools are no novelty in the Southwest, but ours stands out well by it's posession of a faculty of highly-trained ex- perts, and the most modern and varied equipment. Thanks to it's comprehension courses, industrial Okla- homa will receive scores of specialists this spring well quali- fied in the fields of automotive mechanics, cabinet-making, photography, radio repair, television maintenance, and many other technical lines. Military veterans constitute a preponderance of the Tech school's enrollment, and this raised the question, Which is the school accomplishing better, rehabilitation or prehabilitation? Both are highly important to the objectives and obligations of any institution of higher education. The power tools are quiet now, the hand tools are cleaned and put away, the benches are bare, and the floors are swept, yet, one can still detect the muted throbbing of potential growth and accomplishment in the Tech school of OCU. Lock it up for now, it has been a very busy year. w James Jackson and Director Fred Robson ,J- 'j Charlene Hefner, Tech office A nermoenmou f , INDUSTRLM QT . . ,..,.,, , .. ,..... - ...,.. .-, . ,.-...,.T A o Refrigeration and ln d u s t r i a I A r t-Emory Haynes, Frantz Ashley, Marion Mount, Wallace Smith, Uville Ogle.

The other candidates for Keshena Queen were Kathleen Robinson, Sammy ,Gore and Jeanne Thompson, 5 ' Mr. Arnold Shorf 's Miss Frances McMillen Princess and Chieftain The males of the campus got to- gether and elected themselves a Princess and the females elected a Chieftain. Fronces McMillan and Arnold Short were the lucky recipi- ents of the title this year. Frances is vice-president of Phi Delta sorority and Sigma Alpha Iota music soror- ity. The charming blonde is also noted for her singing ability as well as a sparkling personality. Arnold is our All-American bosketballer whose amazing jump shots are the envy otlcooches and players across the country. A member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, Arnold won the Chieftain title over Ken Rose, Ed Walker and Skippy McRee. Jon Bryant, Betty Jo Denny and lrvine Mayhugh also were Princess candi- dates. Freshman Queen Miss Mary E lizabefh Fowler The frosh on the campus did themselves proud when they elected Mary Elizabeth Fowler, better known on the campus as Lib , os the 1953 Freshman Queen. The other candidates in the election during which only frosh voted were Betty Sue Drury, Sara Gore, Cion Lynn and Nodino Loucks. Lib's time outside of school is token up with o record shop which she owns ond operates. Her college activities center around Phi Delta sorority, Tribettes Pep club and boys. She was crowned ot the Frosh dance at which the freshman class celebrated their day's victory over the sophomores in the othletic Field Day events, Like any other bustling co- ed college, OCU likes to parade its more-than-adequate share ot proud beauties and to have them judged by outsiders who know their stuff when it comes to beauty. So, the editors of the KESHENA arranged for Mr. Fred Waring to select, from the group of photographs which follows, a Beauty Queen, a runner-up and, a third to reign as ethereal heads of the l952-53 OCU campus.

Freshman Basketball Doyle Parrack Director of Athletics 'Af' W Completing their 23 game schedule with a l4 won, nine lost record, Assistant Coach Abe Lemon's freshman cagers give promise of continued greatness for the Chief varsity in coming years. Well balanced scoring was shown by the starting five and only lack of depth kept the Little Chiefs from posting an even more impressive record. Joe Kile, 6-3 forward, top- ped the frosh scoring with lOO field goals and 93 'free tosses for 293 points in 23 games and a l2.8 average. Don Shields, 5-lO guard was close behind with 78 from the field and 67 from the free throw line for 223 points in 20 games and an ll.l per game mark. Third in scoring was Gerald Hoeltzel, 6 foot guard, with 73 fielders and 75 charity tosses, a total of 22l in 23 Ed Nall Basketball Business Manager H Scott ugh Assistant Sports Publicity games and a 9.6 average. Troy Qualls and Don Jones, a pair of 6-8 freshmen who alternate on the post and at center, hold 8.4 and 7.8 averages re- spectively. Qualls had 47 field goals and 99 charity throws for l93 points and Jones hit 53 from the field and 64 free throws for l80 points. Both men played 23 games. Roundingout the squad were Bill Penwell, Eddie Harnmonds and Earl Johnson. The latter two joined the squad at mid- year and saw only limited ac- tion but showed considerable promise. Penwell dunked 64 points while playing as the number one reserve and aver- aged 2,8 per contest. Coach Lemons says the men most likely to see Varsity ac- tion next season are Kile, Hoeltzel and the two big ones, Jones a n d Qualls. Shields has left school and plans to join the service. A great deal depends on how Jones and Qualls develop, since the varsity next year will be lacking in experienced height. Both of these tall frosh improved considerably, how- ever, late in the past season and will be valuable aids next year. Kile has a one handed shot reminiscent af Arnold Short's, which many fans ex- pect to add to the Chiefs' scor- ing punch, and the hard-driv- ing, ball-hawking Hoeltzel is certain to be a big help. Another big help for the second semester next season will be John Copp, 6-9 transfer from the University of Okla- homa, who will become eligible at mid-year. Copp was inelig- ible for both the varsity and frosh teams last season but looked good in practice. if-Xi: if 'ii' li: 'fir , A ...Y PORTAL g 911 V' 4 t HDME A ix iv .iii Q E ' 2 , ZZ ii' i 7 .

X if 7545411512 can em Ken Rose The Season, 1952-53 Basketball at OCU definitely reached the big time during the l952-53 season as Coach Doyle Parrack's cagers racked up their most impressive season's record in the school's history. Playing a comparatively light 22 game regular sea- son schedule, the Warriors wound up with an l8 won, 4 lost record and received their second straight bid to the National Collegiate Athletic association tournament. ln addition, most of the scoring records were rewritten by Parrack's charges in this, his sixth, season of play. Arnold Short, flashy 6-3 forward, broke every in- dividual mark on the scoring chart and he and his team- mates broke the team high mark both for a single game and the season's total. Opening the season against Oklahoma Baptist Uni- versity at Shawnee, the Chiefs ran into an inspired Bison crew that gave them a stiff battle during the first half. The highly favored Parrackmen put the heat on in the third quarter and built a 37-32 half-time lead into a 54- 38 margin entering the final period. ln the last stanza the Warriors coasted while OBU cut their point spread to 68-60 at the final gun. Short led the scoring with a sizzling 26 point barrage while Ken Rose, speedy 6 foot guard, dunked 22 for second honors in the game. Drake University, a team that had just put powerful Kansas State, then ranked tops in the nation, into over- time before succumbing, was the next Chief foe at Des Moines, lowa, The Oklahoma Citians walked off the court 49-45 upset victors on theistrength of 2l points by Short and l3 by Andy Likens, 6-3 senior forward. Opening the home court season against New Mexico AGM, the OCU five swamped the Aggies 74-40 as Short again took scoring honors with 25 points and Rose added ll before leaving the game with a sprained ankle in the third period. The Chiefs blazed to a 37-l4 halftime lead and coasted the rest of the way. Fourth victim of the fast-rolling Chieftains were the Dons from San Francisco University. Short again led the scoring with 20 markers while Rose added l5 and Delbert Cearley, 6-7 reserve post man, dunked ll. Thompson got nine and Likens, still seeing only limited action, bagged eight. ln their home encounter with Oklahoma Baptist, the Warriors cracked two records in downing the Bisons 77-52. Their total was one point higher than the 76 scored against Wichita during the l95l-52 season and the 42 free throws attempted was seven more than they shot against Phillips University the year previous. Short broke Don Penwell's 3l point individual scoring mark with ll fielders and l0 free tosses and a total of 32. Hardin-Simmons Univeristy invaded the OCU field- house December 20 only to fall 74-55 to the powerful Parrackmen as Short hit 28, Rose l3 and Bolin ll to pace the Chiefs' attack. This win, their sixth in a row, put the Warriors into the All-College tourney with an un- defeated record, December 29 saw the defending champion Warriors facing a strong Bowling Green University quintet in open- ing round play of the All-College meet. Noted for their fast break, the BG Falcons failed to solve the tough OCU defense and they trailed all the way as Likens, playing l l s first full game of the year, took scoring honors with lpoints while Short got 2l. Final score 65-58. Any hopes that Chief fans held that the Parrack ew could repeat as All-College champs were squelched wen the Oklahoma A8rM Aggies had their hottest night the year and downed the cold Chiefs 75-58. The Ag- es took an ll point lead in the first quarter and the cal team could never close the gap in spite of 25 points f Short. Some consolation was derived the final night as the 'arriors downed Wyoming 49-40 and Short received the ost valuable player award, an honor usually reserved r a player on the winning team. Short, Likens and Rose combined to lead the Chiefs' tack against Houston after the holidays as they hit l, l4 and ll points respectively to put OCU past the Jugars 68-52 in the fieldhouse January 5. A small but fast team from Emporia State Teachers llege, Kansas, came to the fieldhouse January 9 and ayed the Chiefs a good game before losing 66-48, as :ort continued to hit above the 20 point level, bagging 5 for the night. Continuing their home stand, the Chieftains ran to an unexpectedly tough team from East Texas State llege and found themselves trailing l6-l5 at the end the first quarter. Yeoman work by the steady Likens in the rebound- g and scoring departments, plus an outstanding floor me, pulled the game out ofthe fire 59-47. Likens and ort tied for scoring honors with l4 each. This game Jrked the first time Short had been held under 20 ints in l2 games. Risking their classy ll-l record, eighteenth in the tion at the time, in two straight games on the road, 2 Chiefs were edged 65-62 at Tulsa and 66-62 at ichita. The Warriors tied in field Qoals made in both mes but in each case were nosed out at the charity e. Short climbed back above the 20 point level again 5 he hit 27 against Tulsa and 20 at Wichita and Likens ot l8 and l2 in those games respectively. Jack Key, -6 senior forward, became eligible for his final semester f play with the Wichita game and accounted for seven :Jints while playing only l2 minutes. ln the rematch with Drake on the home maples, me Parrackmen won as they had earlier at Des Moines 5 they edged the Bulldogs 64-60. Short hit 25, Likens 5, Key eight and Don Rich, who also rejoined the squad t mid-year after being sidelined with an injury the first emester, accounted for nine points. Coach Parrack took his squad to Houston February for a return bout with the Cougars, who had quite a eputation as giant killers on their home court. Although oth Tulsa and Oklahoma A8tM lost to the Cougars at louston, the Chiefs prevailed 64-58 to make it two in row over Houston, a feat no Missouri Valley club could o this year. It was Likens who dunked eight points in less than nur minutes during the third stanza to give the Chiefs i safe lO point spread after it had been nip and tuck ip until then.

Instead, they saw the Chiefs put up a well balanced scoring attack that downed the Kansans 75-69. Short had 24, Likens l5, Rose l2, Nath ll, Bolen seven and Key six for OCU but scoring honors went to Cleo Littleton, Wichita's spectacular negro forward, who scored 30 points for a new record for an opposing player in the Chief fieldhouse. Murray State college, Kentucky, hailed as a fast break outfit, surprised Parrack by playing a very de- liberate game. Murray led the Warriors for nearly three quarters, but once the Parrackmen got in front the coach put them into a freeze and from there on the Kentuckians managed only two points while OCU got seven to win 43-37. Taking to the road for a two game series with Wyoming, Parrack and his men were forced to make the trip to Laramie by bus after bad weather cancellation of their plane. Delayed by a blizzard, the Chiefs arrived only an hour before game time, and couldn't seem to get warmed to their task as they dropped a 49-45 decision in the first game. Key lead the scoring with l6, Short had l5. The second night's contest wasn't going too well either, until Couts entered the line up in the second quarter and promptly hit three straight from the field to break a tie and the Chiefs were never again headed. Couts ended up with l5 for the night, only one less than Short. Likens added l3 to the OCU total as they won 60-49. The Chieftains wound up their regular season with a decisive 74-60 revenge victory over Tulsa. Likens and Short tied for scoring honors with l7 each, while Rose and Nath hit l0 apiece and Key had nine. Their l8-4 season record put the Chiefs into the tenth spot on the Associated Press poll and marked the first time an OCU team ever made the top ten. They carried this ranking into the NCAA tourney at Manhat- tan, Kansas. CWhich is another story covered on page 75.1 U Corky Jones Tom Bolin Bill Couts All College Tournament While not successful in defending their All-College tournament championship, the Chiefs took third place in the power-packed holiday classic and Arnold Short broke a pair of records in bringing home the Most Valuable player award. Both Short and Andy Likens made the All-Tournament teams, with Short pulling down a first team berth and Likens getting a spot on the second five. During the course of the tournament, Short scored 70 points to top the old mark set by Oklahoma A8iM's Bob Kurland in i946 His second re- cord was established in the free throw department, where he dunked 26 charity tosses to break a record of 22 set earlier in the final day of the tourney by Al Sledzik of Penn State. Teams which participated, in the tournament, in the order in which they placed, were: Oklahoma ASM, Idaho, OCU, Wyoming, Western Kentucky, Penn State, Tulsa and Bowling Green. The Chiefs downed Bowling Green 65-58 in the first round, with Likens hitting 24 and Short 2l as OCU took scoring honors. ln the semifinals, Oklahoma ASM hit a siz- zling 80 percent of their shots in the first quarter to take a 24-l2 lead. ln spite of 25 points by Arnold Short, high for the game, the Chiefs were never able to overcome the ASM lead and lost 75-58. The Parrackmen outscored Wyoming l3-5 in the third quarter and lO-8 in the fourth to win 49-40 after being held to a tie at halftime to cinch third place.

C f ln spite of the defeats, Arnold Short was named to the first team for the,Manhattan regional. lt was Andy Likens, the steady 6-3 senior Chief for- ward, wno represented OCU in the All-Star game at Kansas City late in March. Likens hit 6 for 8 from the field and 4 of 5 from the charity line, a total of l6 points, while playing less than half the game. Only Kansas State's Bob Rousey and Dick Knostrnan, with 26 and 21 points respectively, topped Likens mark, and both of them played most of the game. Besides his scoring, the Associated Press account of the game said .. .Likens turned in an outstanding re- bounding iob on both backboards against taller oppon- ents. Baseball Baseball made a return to the OCU campus after a lapse since the spring of l948, with Les Metheny as head coach and Abe Lemons as assistant coach. Nine games had been scheduled for the lndians All of these games pitted OCU against Oklahoma Collegiate conference foes. The baseball team has been organized to strengthen the athletic program and to give the students a springtime activity, said Metheny. He also said that the addition of this sport would be a help if OCU were being considered for a conference bid. First practice sessions saw twenty-odd students out warming up and more are expected to turn out as the season progresses. Baseball will be a wide-open field for students having athletic talent, said the coach, Starting line-up for the lndians included: Gerald Hoelt- zel, pitcher, Harold Wolaver, catcher, Arnold Short, first base, Ken Rose, second base, Clyde Nath, shortstop, Max Goodman, third, J. T. Jones, left field, Dan Potts, center field, and Bill Marshall, right field. Others on the squad were: Howard Allnut, pitcher, Char- les Guerrero, first base, and Gene Malone, Chuck Hopper, Bob Cassidy, Jimmy Baber, Chesley McRee, Doyle Hastings, Gary Davis, Ronnie Bucks and Arlis Coy, all listed as out- fielders. However, several men played at most positions. Regardless of the outcome, faculty and students alike felt that getting the new intercollegiate sport started, even on a minimum scale, was a step in the right direction. Next year and in following seasons, baseball will take its place as a truly major sport at OCU. ...,..-- ' I niramurals Intramural and interfraternity sports, although still limited because of scheduling difficulties due to the large number of working students, have covered football, basketball and spring activities such as tennis, golf and baseball were on the agenda as the KESHENA went to press. Touch football last fall saw only the fraternities competing and Kap- pa Alpha won the interfrat trophy for the second year in a row by downing Sigma Phi Epsilon l8-l2 in a play-off game last December. KA will retain the trophy permanently if they win again next year. The Sky-Pilots were also repeat winners in Intramural basketball. Besides the Sky-Pilots, the Campus Wolves, CAA foreign students, Lambda Chi, Kappa Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon took part in the intramural play, ln the interfrater- nity basketball tournament, the Sig Eps won consecutive games from KA and Lambda Chi to take the crown. Bill Pulley, Gary Davis Howard Allnutt M . gn 3 3 Women's Athletics Under the guiding hand of Miss Esther Hobson, in her first year at OCU as head of Women's physical education, women's sports took on new life during i952-53. Archery, badminton, basketball, table tennis, tennis, swimimng, softball and even square dancing. . .if that may be called a sport, all found plenty of participants among members of the physical education classes and the Women's Athletic association. Competitive action for the most part con- sisted of intramural play, however, the women participated in a state college basketball tourney at Oklahoma Baptist University in March. With the coming of warm weather this spring, a corresponding increase in women's athletics was on schedule. Highlighting women's intercollegiate competition was the state All-Sports day at the University of Oklahoma late in April. This annual event drew entries from throughout the state and contests included all those previously mentioned except basketball, plus a number of others, such as deck tennis, aerial darts and horse-shoe pitching. ln addition to the state meet, plenty of intersquad ancl intramural competition was available in tennis, softball and archery. Miss Hobson scheduled further intercollegiate con- tests in various types of spring sports.

TribeHes The women's pep club, Tri- bette, sponsored the Miniature Float parade again this year to open the basketball season and the judges decision won the cup for Gamma Phi Beta's cake mix. Second place went to Sigma Phi Epsilon's merry-go- round and third to Lambda Chi Alpha's giant trophy, The group also sponsored the crowning of the Basketball Queen for the half-time cere- mony of the first home game. To close the season, the mem- bers held their annual spring picnic for the basketball team at Will Rogers park. Softball, hot d o g s, square-dancing, cokes, relaxing and cake made up the evening's entertain- ment. Tribesmen There are few things more gratifying to a basketball team than to be playing away from home and find a lot of their fans and supporters in the stands. The Tribesmen, OCU men's pep club, made this pos- sible for the Chieftans this past season on several occa- sions. This was in keeping with the traditions of the Tribesmen, who actively and ardently supported their team in many ways. Sponsoring pep rallies, bonfires, and chartered bus facilities for out-of-town games, the Tribesmen feel, and rightly so, that they were instrumental in the Chiefs highly successful season.

Delta Zeta's second year at OCU was just as wonderful as its first. The Chapter didn't win as many first place cups this year but everyone had fun trying. lt's Written ln The Stars was the theme of the mina- ture float parade entry this year. The chapter again chose an esthetic theme for Keshena Kapers. The stage was set in a garden of Greek statues that came to life when the heroine sang to them of her love. Cynthia Taylor, our girl in love, warbled through Blue Moon , Moonglow , Stars in My Eyes and Old Devil Moon backed by a vocal trio, a chorus of interpretive dancers and contralto, Pat Willis. Ten lovely pledges were presented at the All-Greek dance in the fall. The pledge class was resourceful, too, when they managed a successful walkout. Scholarship was an important factor of the group with Gene Ann Hall, Carol Hammers, and Betty Jo Denny elected to Cardinal Key and Who's Who in American Universities. Six made the Dean's Honor Roll. The Biltmore hotel was the scene of the annual spring formal, Melodies and Flowers was the theme. New offices for i953-54 were introduced and Betty Jo Denny succeeded Kathleen Robinson as president. Only mention can be made of the numerous parties- slumber, Christmas, Halloween, banquets, scholarship and friendships that made l953 another succesful year for Delta Zeta. is xouiigeh anaemia Q, BIG!

During 1951-1952, Delta Psi Omega, which had been founded here in 1920, petitioned KA for a chapter which was granted.

During the following grind of books time was discovered to win the interfraternity touch football trophy. Social events included pledge break- fast, Christmas Open House. The State Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy presented us with a beautiful portrait of Robert E. Lee. Second semester rush brought in 15 men. Our stunt in the Kapers did not place but we had a lot of fun doing it. We lost the interfraternity basketball trophy but had a good team. The social calendar brought the Robert E. Lee Birthday party, the KA Soiree given by alumni and many smaller par- ties. ' All in all, our first year under the KA banner has been challenging and interesting with fine promise for the future. Brother Jim 'Young became our new president during the second semester. Gamma Phi Beta Until l952, Gamma Phi Beta had devoted 78 years to de- veloping the highest type of womanhood in education and social life. This year saw the 79th year of continuation and embellish- ment ot that ideal by the OCU chapter. Sandwiched in between a Founder's day brunch fNovemberl and the Christmas assembly program fDecemberl, a Christmas party for underprivileged children was sponsored jointly by the Gamma Phis and their brother fraternity. A Mother's Day dinner in May was followed shortly by pre- sentation of the Senior breakfast to close out another active and successful year.

Theta-Delta Zeta came forward with 43 pledges this year and highlighted its social season with the crowning of Miss Jan Bryant, Gamma Phi Beta, as its Cresent Sweetheart. Service with a smile gave 70 orphan boys a field and track day with all the trimmings. Along this line was a Christmas party for 40 underprivileged children by Santa Claus and his gifts. Taking its place in campus leadership, Skippy McRee was elected to the presidency of the Senior Class, Harry Haines took over the Student Senate Treasury, and Bill Marshall captured the office of Junior Treasurer. Certainly a point of honor, nine Lambda Chi's were elected to Blue Key and twelve members to Phi Mu Alpha Sin- fonia. One of the season's highlights was the initiation of four faculty members: Dean Overman, Professor Hatchett, Professor Gates, and Dr. Harmon. Being socially prominent, the chapter delighted their mothers with a Thankgiving dinner at the chapter house and an Easter breakfast at Pier Seven. Presenting a misty dramatic production of John Brown's Body, the chapter captured third place in Keshena Kapers, and certainly not to be forgotten was the third place entry in the Miniature Float parade, which astounded all, since it was a I2 foot silver trophy cup. Athletic? Yesl ln superlativesl Arnold Short set a new varsity record with over 500 points for this season. Not to be forgotten is Clyde Nath, varsity star, and Don Jones, Fresh- man tall man . Taylor, it It has been a great year, and May Day Sing is yet to come, but win or lose, most certainly the Lambda Chi's are a truly fine group of men. Theta-Delta would be a credit to any school. .

Phi Delia With the consumption of gallons of alka-seltzer and tons of aspirin, the proud and exhausted Phi Delta sorority marked the closing ofa big, big year. This old-young H9075 organi- zation gleefully watched its ranks being successively tapped for Freshman Queen, Princess, two cheer-leaders, and Kes- hena Queen. An additional honor was the first-place award the Phi Delta received for their participation in the annual Keshena Kapers. This energetic matriarch of OCU sororities also pledged more new member-candidates than any other on the campus. Founded forty-six years ago here at Epworth University Know Oklahoma City Universityl, the Phi Delta membership originally numbered eight young ladies. ln view of this sea- son's honors, it is not surprising that through the years, this group has often been referred to as the Sorority of Queens , fi Joyce Mcbonnold Sigma Phi Epsilon With a lusty bowl and a defiant tug at its already too- tight three-cornered pants, a brand new infant fraternity was catapulted onto the OCU campus this year, Christening of the Oklahoma Delta chapter of the Sigma Phi Epsilon was im- mediately followed by an extremely active social life for the brat frat. Appropriately leading off with a Halloween party for other underprivileged kids, the Sig Eps completed the season with the Girl of the Golden Heart spring formal, a- hay-rack ride in the vicinity of romantic, aromatic Lake Overholser, a well-deserved second place award for their participation in the annual Keshena Kapers, and second place in the Miniature Float parade. The installation ceremonies of May 3, l952, saw the Oklahoma Delta chapter of OCU become the one-hundred seventeenth chapter of the national Sigma Phi Epsilon. Char- tered in l9Ol at Richmond College with twelve original mem- bers, the organization membership has now swollen to more than forty thousand. With a fond brief look at its first highly successful year, Sigma Phi Epsilon is confidently formulating bigger plans for the coming years.

Tau Delta The Kappa Tau Delta soror- ity was founded in l92l to, among other things, foster the bonds of sisterly devotion Though the phrasing is loose, the activities of this past sea- son indicate that the bonds are not. The fostering began early in December with a benevolence party. lKappa Tous are tradi- tionally slow starters and fast finishers? Business picked up a bit in February when the KTD's held their highly caloric Founder's Day banquet. Mother's Day, an auspicious occasion in any league, was celebrated with an afternoon tea by the Kappa Taus and their happy maws.

The study hours, rest periods and dorm meetings in the evening help the resi- dents maintaintheir grade average and plan their extra-curricular activities. .ss,sss4gp,L,J,ssszigtg..gs:smM item., , ,. ,W , A ,, ,M ,.,..s,t. .gf N ,W Left to Right: Ramon Santa Maria, Carlos De LaRosa, Gilbert Boyd, Galo Constante, Enrique Reyna, Hernan Bayer, Joaquin Him, Santiago Crispino, Jorge Escala, Hernan Alzuro, Al Reese, Milton Torres and Bernardo Garcia.

Put a penny in the jug was the way of the Foreign Nationals when a fellow comrade would slip into his native tongue. The men were eager learners and willing for the fine that would go for a party. Their sponsors, Dr. and Mrs. C. R. Roberts, had open house for them all during their stay, and social get-to- gethers helped them to get the hang of things. Between their class work at the Uni- versity and Will Rogers air field, the men learned our customs and taught us a few things too. Following their seven-month stay, they left for on-the-job-work at air fields throughout the states before reporting back home. Keshena K apers but only after long rehearsals. Keshena Kapers was a big success again this year, and the appreciative crowd filled nearly every seat available. The sponsors, the Press Club, put in many rough hours scheduling rehearsals, tickets, posters, and the change of posters when the organizations voted to change the date from Friday, March l3 to Thursday, l2th when the Chiefs received their NCAA bid. Seven social organiza- tions presented acts and the between act skits were given by the Talent Club.

The editor had his share of headaches with a staff that ran both hot and cold, but soon settled down to produce a paper that both faculty and stu- dent liked Cwell, most of the time.J The staff completed revamping the Student Publications office and added a darkroom for their own use, a long overdue need. By the second semester the staff was clicking and news coverage improved. Frequent trips to the POW WOW for coffee became the tradition that filled in time between running down facts and writ- ing copy. Many a story and other plot hatched over the tables and battered chairs of the POW WOW, Some of the staff went professional, among those were Editor Bartlett and Scoop Zschliemiel Crane covering the State Fair for newspapers over the state and Regina wrote a weekly cloumn in a local daily, The Oklahoman. John McCarthy cover- ed the state legislature for the Tulsa World, Nick Foltz put in nights with the Associated Press, and Bob Hauton was a full-time photographer 'for the Daily Oklahoman, James Zin worked on a house magazine. Under the guidance of Prof. R. J. A. Struck, The Campus became the only college newspaper in the state to win awards in every type of writing simultaneously and in every contest entered. Throughout the year new members kept join- ing the staff and good material for future years became available, if not quite plentiful. And the tradition of The Campus completed its 34th year with all banners flying. rv . as , L ,...,. ,..,,.... K --few Q Q tt l ' f. l'i ' l P l 'F R? ai 1 . in -X, .. A I 3. . 2. ,F g . j.

The officers are divided among the sororities, and the office of president is rotated to each group. With the sponsorship of Dean Josephine Bell, dean of women, the group has re-written its constitution so that it coincides with that of national Pon hellenic. The Pon hellenic Workshop, inaugurated last year, affords the members the opportunity to meet with representatives of the city-wide Pan hel- lenic and to work out problems. The group has the responsibility of regulating and arranging sorority affairs for the year. x co-ordinates fraternity activities on the cam- pus. They planned their Bid House and open houses and with the aid of Pen Hellenic, work- ed out the plans for the first All-Greek dance held last fall. The Council sponsors social events, encourages the fraternity members to higher scholastic goals and plans intramural sports. Four cups were given this year, one for first place in football, one to basketball, one to baseball and one to the fraternity with the best all-over game average. With all the fraternities being national, constitution revisions were worked out with Dean George H. Ryden, Dean of Men. The officers of the Council work on a rotation system with each fraternity holding the presidency every three years and the other offices being drawn for by lot.
