Early afternoon, June lo, could easily be con- sidered a turning point in the history of Okla- homa City University. Fire ravaged the center of the campus destroying the Student Union, Gymnasium, book store, physical plant, and In- dustrial Arts building, Stalked by high winds the flames rapidly spread from the basement of the Student Union to consume the newly varnished gym and jumped to the adjoining IA building and heating plant. Immediate reaction was felt by the university when churches, businesses and individuals staged a simultaneous campaign to raise funds for reconstruction. This challenge was met and in less than a year three new buildings have re- placed those destroyed, Today a new Student Center and Book Store, a new Industrial Arts building and a modern heating plant have shown that OCU can meet any disaster and triumph.

You have brought many honors to the campus of Oklahoma City Uni- versity, and we shall follow your careers with interest and prayers for greater achievements and higher honors, You helped to open the mag- nificent Gold Star Memorial Building, the Central Heating Building, the beautiful Student -Faculty Center Building and the extensive campus landscaping program, We should never forget that buildings and ground do not make a university, however, permanent buildings give articulate expression to confidence in an enterprize. They dramatize faith that the enterprize will be carried on. Let us build on in spite of a cynics scorning And in spite ofa coward's warning, On in spite of the cheap suborning, Firm on the rock of ages, Cities of Saints and Sages. And laugh when the tempest ragest As head ot the university, Dr. Smith Let Us bulld On' H has many serious moments. Cordially, Here he relaxes for a moment with Student Union manager Bud Mansfield. a..,,,f-L it A,-. e MM, ,A Y ' t f , H , ,syr K M ' gg BSI! WIBPIB LEONARD L.

EDWIN D. WALTER B.A., M.A., University of Missouri rt Art courses are arranged to meet the needs of those desiring to study art for its cultural sake, begin professional art study while pursuing a college course or to meet the state requirements for elementary teachers and secondary art teachers. With the assistance of professors Ed Walter and Richard Trickey, the art students produced in April their annual Art Features Ball. Theme of this production was DaDaism: nonsensical art presented in a nonsensical manner. Throughout the year, members of the staff judged art exhibits in every section of the state. Walter, past president of the Oklahoma Art Association and honorary member of Kappa Pi, has promoted wide interest in things artistic in the Oklahoma City area. Kappa Pi, national art fraternity, is spon- sored by Edna Stevenson and meets monthly to foster the appreciation of art. Marcia Black gets a tip from Professor Trickey in figure drawing. EDNA B.

DORIS BAGLEY lnstructor in Elementary Education. ducation With the increased concern about the na- tion's elementary education system, has come a stepped-up program ot teacher education at OCU. ln the college classroom new techniques and basic tundamental principles, along with practice teaching, were ottered to students in preparation tor the time when they would be responsible tor instruction in the secondary schools. Qualities ot leadership are stressed at Okla- homa City University tor those who will be the teachers ot tomorrow. With the thought that un- derstanding leads to close relationship in the practice class rooms, the education department has met, and is continuing to meet, the challenge of responsibility. Carolyn Jenks explains a story from her practice class's reader.

English is conceded by many to be the most important academic course in this country be- cause of its extensive use in almost every field of learning. lt is one of the few courses required of all freshman students, both at OCU and practically every other institution of higher learning in'the United States. OCU's English department is considered to be one of the outstanding departments of the institution, with many years of experience behind its staff members. Dr. James J. Hayes, head of the department, has been at the University for 22 years. Each year Dr. Hayes presents the out- standing student majoring in English with some good book. Many of the University's pre-ministerial stu- dents major in English rather than some course more closely associated with religion. Dr. Hayes holds an informal English class. fi LEC' istor ACTON PORTER B.A., Northwestern State College, M.A., Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, studied, Univer- sity at Oklahoma, ROB ROY MacGREGOR BAA, M.A., Southern Methodist University, l3h,D., Clark University, studied, University ot Minnesota. The history department seeks to turnish a well-rounded historical foundation, an essential part ot cultural education, and to awaken in the student a keener sense ot his responsibilities as a citizen. A major in history and one in history and political science is ottered. Graduate work is also available. Courses in medieval, Oklahoma, Euro- pean, English and ancient history are included, among many others. Dr. McGregor shows where a historical incident took place. J ournallsm Hard-working and hard-hitting, the OCU journalism department guides production of both the Campus, weekly student newspaper, and the Keshena, the yearbook. Staffed by Mr. l-l. Bagley, department head, Mr. Clifton Grossman, superintendent of the uni- versity press, and Mr. C. C. Anderson, night school instructor, the department offers a full curriculum tailored to provide a major in jour- nalism. Courses include advertising, magazine fic- tion writing, company publications production, Cl.lFTON L GROSSMAN B.A., B.S. in Business, Oklahoma City University, studied, Garrett Biblical lnstitute.

Religion plays a very influential role in the campus life of the University. Recognized as one of the outstanding parochial schools in the na- tion, OCU's School of Religion offers a variety of courses pertaining to Christian doctrine and faith, Bible history, Christian missions, religions of mankind, religious denominations of Amer- ica, and general religious education, Approximately l5O students on the campus are preparing for full time religious work, many of whom are majoring in courses not directly re- lated to religion. About 6OW9 of the pre-minis- terial students are Methodists, the rest represent- ing various Protestant denominations. THERON C.

HARRY A. HANSON B.A., Hamline University, M.A., Syracuse University S.T,B., PhD., Boston University, DD., Hamline Uni versity. Dr. Theron C. McGee, head of the depart- ment, has held high administrative positions in numerous religious institutions. He is assisted by Dr. Harry A. Hanson, Dean of Chapel and Pro- fessor of Philosophy and Religion, who spent 30 years in India as a missionary. Other staff mem- bers include Dean Lester A. Jones, Dean of Ad- missions and Registrar, and Mrs. Lorene Jensen Fields, new part time instructor in religious edu- cation. High points of the year were the Willson lec- tures and Religious Emphasis Week. Dr. Louis Hadley Evans, for l2 yea rs pastor of First Presby- terian Church in Hollywood and one of the l2 outstanding religious leaders in the nation deliv- ered the Willson lectures. Dr. G. Lemuel Fenn, OCU alumnus and pastor of First Methodist Church in Tulsa, addressed the student body and faculty daily during Religious Emphasis Week. S eec Cups, trophies and an excellent past record with a bright and promising future best describe OCU's school of speech. The school has produced outstanding orators in both individual speaking and debate teams. Among its string of victories last year, the talkers brought to the school a first place in poetry read- ing, humorous reading, and public address. The debote team was judged excellent in debate at East Central university, received two cups at a mai? debate at St. John's university in Kansas and went to the semi-finals competing with 96 teams at Durant. Believing that visual aid would help students to a more thorough understanding of speech and debate, Jacob l-loover, head of the speech de- partment, constructed charts showing the var- ious structure and plans of attack for debaters. His theory proved true by the quality of the teams he has produced. ln the way of entertainment, the College Players, under the direction of Wayne Campbell, produced Papa is All, a story about the Penn- sylvania Dutch, and l Remember Mama. ln a spring recital, Professor Campbell gained the praise and applause of his audience with his anecdotes, humor and serious spiritual readings from the bible, Shakespeare, Kipling and some modern writers. Campbell's dramatic students also have valuable assistance in assemblies throughout the year and in the Keshena Kapers. A BA degree is offered by the school in public address, dramatics and interpretation, speech correction, radio and television speaking and speech.

Oklahoma City Symphony Or- chestra's Sunday night international broadcasts and the Artists Series of the Ladies Music Club emanate from the auditorium in the School of Music Building. This affords students contact with the professional world thereby widening their horizons. The Chorus Choir, University Band, University Symphony Orchestra and String Orchestra add inspiration and zest to school life. Through radio and TV this school is reaching into the far corners of the state with a message of encouragement and beauty that could be shared in no other way. 'IW NANCY L. RAGSDALE B.F.A., M.

Students have flocked to the school, increas- ing the enrollment from IOO students four years ago to more than l,3OO at present. The growth of the IA school has been so rapid that even with the new, spacious building, completed late in the I954-55 semester, students and instructors are overflowing into the basement of the Business building. The 8Ox225-foot Industrial Arts build- will accommodate only 600 students, leaving the remaining 700 crowded into inadequate quar- ters. ELVIN J.

Among the most important objects of the Senate was the liaison it established between fac- ulty, administration, and student body. This year thoughts and ideas were exchanged freely and accepted by all concerned which led to smooth operation between the branches of the univer- sity. The close harmony which exists can be di- rectly attributed to this group. Another important phase of student govern- ment is the Student Court. Members of the court are appointed by the Executive committee of the Senate and serve to stabilize the balance of power under the same system as the national govern- ment operates. Students or organizations can appeal any decision to the Court for fair apprais- al and verdict. Also included in the phase of student govern- ment is declaring the eligibility of the students to run or hold class or school offices and to be nominated for queenships. Without this integral part of the Senate it would be impossible for the Students Association to operate in a functional manner. Members of the Student Senate represent all the recognized campus organizations, both so- cial and departmental. Two Senators are elected at large from each class and the president is chosen during an all-school election. Other members are picked by the various clubs and the number of representatives is determined by the size of the group. No club, however, is entitled to more than two senators. From this government, comes the reassur- ance necessary to the student body that their ideas, plans and desires will be heard and con- sidered in the operation of a growing university.

Gaining experience as weekly deadlines ticked off the 36th year of publication for the paper, they exhausted news sources and hacked out stories until the midnight oil burned into the early morning hours. Perhaps no other year offered such oppor- tunities as this one, for newsbeats covered one ummm of the largest building programs ever undertaken by the university. Election of a Big-Man-on- Campus, safety campaigns, and editorial cru- sades sparked journalists to establish precedents to be used as guides in years to come. To those who can think above the roar of rolling presses and still echo student opinion there will always remain the challenge to tell a story, and tell it right.

Those who had their morning cup of coffee, crammed for exams, entertained their feminine friends, or preoccupied themselves in other ways, missed some fine lectures, musical programs, or- ganizational skits, and various other types of programs. Outstanding programs of the year included a dance review by students of the Rex lngraham studios, Sigurd Rasher, world famous saxophon- ist, Robert Rudie, violin virtuoso and concert- master of the Oklahoma City Symphony, a vari- ety program by freshman music majors, a group of religious and semi-classical numbers by the University Choir, novelty skits by Delta Zeta and Gamma Phi sororities, also the Independent Stu- dents' Association, and a very fine concert by the University Band. 179- Keshena Kapers The Sig Eps almost lost four members to the cannibals in their south sea skit. Marking the 27th year of Keshena Kapers, l 955 was possibly the most suc- cesstul production ever staged by the Press Club. Playing to a standing room only crowd the seven social organiza- tions presented skits which would have been a credit to professional theatrical troupes. Taking tirst place tor the second year in a row, was the Lambda Chi Alpha musical extravaganza entitled Carni- val Day ln New Orleans. Right on their heels were the Delta Zetas with their circus theme, black-light presentation which gave them the second place tro- phy, ln the third slot were the Sigma Phi Epsilons and the comical Robinson Curso. A highlight ot the tootl ight tollies was the crowning of the Keshena Queen tor l955. In a close race, Sky Paegle, Delta Zetas' candidate, was elected. Eddie Coontz, local radio and tele- vision personality, provided entertain- ing comments and carried the 'Between- acts' ceremonies along with excerpts from the Classen Highschool Classen Classics. Calendar Girl Skit by the Gamma Phi's showed what the well dressed gal will wear for each month of the year. ,fn :las ' -' V n ' - , - V - - .
