Dr. C. Q. Smith President of the University Seniors of 'I953 .... 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. Stanley Jones and Presi- Dr. C. Q. Smith, Bishop W. Angie Smith and dent C. Q. Smith. Governor Johnston Murray.
