Oklahoma City University Women's Council was organized in l954. Their object is the pro- motion of a keener awareness and a deeper ap- preciation of Oklahoma City University as a dis- tinguished educational institution vitally impor- tant to the culture and general welfare of the community and state. Meetings are held the fourth Friday of each month in the home of a member. A faculty speaker is featured followed by a social hour. Every year an opera is sponsored by the or- ganization and the proceeds are donated to the betterment of OCU. l957's opera was The Merry Widow. Revenue from past performances has given the Student-Faculty Center crystal, sil- ver service, drapes, and furniture. The women al- so sponsor an annual reception for graduating seniors.

The primary purpose of the organization is to provide an opportunity for fellowship and intel- lectual stimulation. Meetings in the form of luncheons are held in the Student-Faculty Center Canary Room the second and fourth Thursday of each month. The programs presented are designed to promote culture and vary from prominent speakers to movies. Ladies Night Dinner, an annual event, was this year based on an international theme, even to the menu. The club is open to all male employees of OCU whether in a teaching or administrative ca- pacity. Recognizing a need, obtaining cooperation, and having vision to plan correctly have made the Oklahoma City University Men's C I u b seventy-five strong in l957.

The 5 1957 FACULTY Sclooolg Our Cla w Colle e of and its Departments ART The Art department of OCU offers beneficial and interest- ing courses from all angles, whether a student wishes to enter the art field professionally, go into the educational aspect of it, or merely learn how to better appreciate and enjoy the world's art for his own personal satisfaction. Both students and faculty from this department pat- ronize and often participate in local and neighboring art events such as exhibits, contests, private showings and the annual Art Fair held in Oklahoma City. One ofthe department's major projects this year was a remodeling of the studios. Students and faculty members painted, rebuilt and modernized throughout the building. An open house climaxed the project. Arty and Sczbmey MRS. EDNA B. STEVENSON General Art ROGER WHITE General Art Ann lngram offers Max Hibshman some good-natured comments. OCU's oil-paint- ing classes provide students with many opportunities for self-expression. -291 : Working on the art department's remodeling job are: Maurice Ferris, Barbara Bloom and Nancy Newton, with Ann lngram on the ladder. HOMER HIXON Biology BIOLOGY GEOLOGY The Earth and her living things-a vast knowledge en- compassed by our departments of Geology and Biology. Jack E. Blythe directs the department of Geology in which students study the formation and activities of the earth, preparing for careers in any geologic area. Field trips are made in conjunction with various courses, a fav- orite outdoor laboratory being the Arbuckle mountain range in southern Oklahoma, unique in its varied array of natural phenomena. Dr. Homer Hixson heads the department of Biologi- cal Science. Through extensive laboratory work, students grasp, as far as possible, the awesome idea of Life. Stu- dents preparing for medical school find ample prepara- tion at OCU. J. G. BLYTH E Geology Non-professional courses are available in both de- partments to non-majors desiring to broaden their under- standing and appreciation of our fantastic world. ..... .

Applied and general physics are enlarged upon in courses encompassing the subjects of accoustics, vector analysis, electronics, atomic structure and thermody- namics. Dr. Charles H. Skeen directs the department aid- ed by Omer L. Wilson. Dr. Alfred Ewing heads the department of chemistry assisted by John C. Thompson and John E. Wise. Courses in chemical study including those related to organic, inorganic, qualitative and quantitative analysis qualify the student for careers in biochemistry, chemical re- search in medicine and industry. CHARLES H. SKEEN Physics Paul Bickford indicates a salient aspect of an electronic device to physic students George Tanton and Bob Walston. ALFRED M. EWING Chemistry W. A. HALL Physical Science EDUCATION Planned to provide a complete and dynamic background in teaching techniques, the education department of OCU is built around a well-trained, capable staff of instructors. Degrees are available in both elementary and secondary education. This year over thirty student teachers from OCU gained practical, on-the-spot experience in Oklahoma City classrooms. This doing by learning theory is put to good use in all subjects and projects undertaken in the department. Among the courses taught are child psychology, storytelling, elementary and secondary techniques, the teaching of basic skills, and a dozen subjects aimed spe- citically at producing the best qual itied teachers possible. Graduates of OCU are always able to qualify tor teaching positions, and are eagerly sought after by local school boards. During the year a number of out-of-state talent scouts converge on our campus to interview future teachers. ln addition to classroom training, students partici- pate in the local chapter of Future Teachers of America, one of the most active in the state. This year both the state Co-ordinator and the state President were elected from our chapter. L. L. CLIFTON General Education GEORGE RYDEN Secondary Student teacher Yvonne Miller finds great satisfaction in her work with pupils at Gate- wood school. She assists the regular teacher with all phases of classroom work as a part of our teacher-training program. -52- VELMA RIORDAN Elementary WAYDE MCCALISTER General Education JAMES JUVENAL HAYES Departmental Head HOWARD J. HOLT Social Studies ENGLISH Keeping pace with Oklahoma City University is its Eng- lish department headed by Dr. James J. Hayes. This year Val Thiessen, author and scholar of English literature, became a full-time departmental professor. Great is the variety of courses offered: development of the drama, essay and short story, different types of poetry, and complete coverage of Shakespeare and his works, to name only a very few. Enrollment in the depart- ment was in the hundreds both terms this year. Courses in speech, modern languages and journal- ism may be counted toward an English major, making specialization in this field an inclusive thing. Students in the writing classes are urged to take part in contests and this year Joe Hall and Marylouise Dallal had original poems published in the Anthology of College Poetry.

ACTON PORTER History DANIEL CRAIG Political Science HISTORY POLITICAL SCIENCE Two new instructors, Dr. H. E. Kolling and Daniel B. Craig, have been added to the ever expanding history depart- ment at OCU this year. The department strives to develop in students an attitude of objectivity, by emphasizing the connection of historical trends and phenomena with the changing cul- tural, social, and economic conditions of each period and of each society. Every kind of history, tracing the lines of develop- ment of people and their culture from ancient to modern times, can be found here. Courses including the history of Oklahoma, Europe, United States and the Far East are offered, as well as the extensive opportunity for study in the field of political science. With world citizenship assuming an ever-greater em- phasis, an understanding of our national history and in- ternational geography is daily becoming more vital. Through classroom discussions of current events and lec- ture interpretations of political situations, OCU students gain an insight into the complex problems facing modern man.

Through a wide-assortment of supplementary reading material, history and political science courses are extended to span generations and continents. -54- IOURNALISM Clifton L. Grossman heads the OCU department of Jour- nalism with headquarters in the University Press. Mr. G is the guardian angel of every Jay Uournalistl and bravely sponsors all their undertakings including The Press Club, student weekly, The Campus, and the Keshena. Students of this department receive real training in the production of yea rbooks through work on the Keshena and each week The Campus tests the endurance and ability of its reporters. Courses in radio continuity writing, advertising, magazine fiction, editing and news writing give the stu- C. L. GROSSMAN Typography dent a broader outlook on the journalistic world, and the Press Club's annual all-school presentation of Keshena Kapers is a profound lesson in public relations. A curious student of journalism will find that every course offered in the university will aid him as a writer, both objectively and subjectively. A. H. HAZELWOOD Continuity CLAYTON ANDERSON Mr. G pounds proof on The Campus student weekly newspaper in the University Press while Public Relations Willis Weeks and Sacra Faull stand by to proof-read. Students of typography gain experience in the Press through working on 'Campus' composition and other real jobs, MATHEMATICS Mathematics, threshold to all the sciences, is available at OCU from basic math for non-majors, to advanced cal- culus for the equation-trained mind. The increased need for a substantial knowledge of math in any field of endeavor in our highly technical world, is to a great extent, realized in the department's curricula. G. Emery Meador, Clarence Pirrong, and James A. Matthews instruct courses of study in algebra, trigonom- etry, analytics, geometry and calculus, arming the stu- dent to enter the fields of science, teaching or research. ln fact, this versatile science of numbers is a useful friend in any profession. A two year course in pre-engineering is one of the departments most popular. Astronomy, finance and sur- veying are also offered. Professor Meador illustrates an alegbraic point to a suprisingly alert math class G. EMERY MEADOR Mathematics CLARENCE PIRRONG Mathematics 'QI' 3 A 2 That mathematics has its practical application in many fields is proven by these three drafting students. MODERN L GUAGES The OCU Modern Language Department provides not only a grammatical knowledge of French, German, and Spanish, but also gives the student an understanding of the character and culture of the people who speak these languages, and of their countries. Heading the department are Dr. Hope Housel and Mrs. L. L. Clifton who sponsor the language clubs on the campus. Besides the basic courses, instruction is offered in further study of civilization and conversation. Students going abroad are assisted with their plans and language difficulties. This department stimulates an interest in foreign countries and develops an intelligent attitude toward in- ternational relations. MRS. ETHEL CLIFTON French DR. HOPE HOUSEL German, Spanish Dr. Hope Housel leads her Spanish class in an elementary grammar lesson. Dr. Housel also teaches German. Some of the most popular classes on the campus are the French courses taught by Mrs. Ethel Clifton. H. A. HANSON Philosophy PHILOSOPHY RELIGION Man thought, and we have philosophy, man thought about God, and we have religion. Our departments of Philosophy and Religion are, of a nature, linked, since both are based on logical assump- tion. Dr. l-l. A. Hanson directs the Philosophy department, in which the field of study is based upon logic, the in- ductive, deductive, and analogical principles of reason- ing. The student is taught to unify his ideas, thus enabling him to see the relation of all fields of knowledge, and how they are all tied, one to the other, by the process of logical thinking. Dr. T. C. McGee heads the Religion department. l-lere, the student of religion is armed with the funda- T. C. MCGEE Religion, Greek MRS. LORENE J. FIELDS Religion mental background necessary to teach the theory of Christianity. Students in every department may acquaint themselves with the most general concept of religion since the beginning of mankind, to the basic truths found in the teachings of Jesus. '5 .g i Dr. McGee paints out the geographical significence of the biblical lands to Larry Jacobson and Janet Taylor, Visual aids, lectures and field trips make religion more clear to students of the Bible. -35- PHYSICAL EDUCATION Topflight training for students preparing for athletic careers is provided by the physical education department through professional and non-professional courses cov- ering swimming, bowling, archery, first aid, coaching, and personal and community health. Abe Lemons, Paul Hansen coach basketball and baseball at OCU and we are especially proud of our bas- ketball team, the Chiefs. Miss Esther Hobson directs the Women's Athletic Association, an organization serving as an outlet for in- tramural activity for the women on the campus. Contests in badminton, table tennis and Volley ball are offered during the course of the year as a part of the over-all athletic program for women. A. E. Abe LEMONS Varsity Basketball PAUL HANSEN Freshman Basketball Vkfichita guards giving Chief ace, Hubert Reed, a rough time in one of the home games of the l957 season in Municipal auditorium. ..59.. ESTHER HOBSON Women's Athletics LESTER METHENY Health PSYCHGLOGY SCCIOLCGY With the advance and complications of our modern liv- ing, a basic knowledge of psychology as well as sociology, is becoming increasingly important. Through the efforts of the departments of Psychology and Sociology, this knowledge is realized. Dr. V. F. Dougherty heads sociology and Dr. A. C. Cleveland directs the psychology department. Off the campus, students on field trips view various social conditions, always seeking new methods by which their generation might make the world a better place for coming generations. AUSTIN CLEVELAND Psychology Students participate in class experiments and discus- sions aimed at bringing the complex theories of psychology and sociology down to applicable terms. Problems assume a new dimension when related to one's own needs, and few class members leave the course without feeling that they have taken a step forward toward a better understanding of themselves and life. Education, industry, science and business all are growing in their realization of the importance of human relations. Most degrees now include a requirement in one or both of these dynamic departments. .3 WAYDE MCCALISTER Psychology Dr. Cleveland illustrates the course and effects of genes to Ralph Burns and Vada Mustion.

First se- mester of 1956 found the addition of two instructors, Mrs. Fern Smith and Alexander Hazelwood, new mechanisms, and a renovated studio. Among its varied activities, the department lists forensic debate, poetry reading, humorous reading and public address. In the speech studio, the public is en- abled to view the student-directed plays. Several full- length plays are given each year in the Fine Arts audi- torium. Annually an inter-city speech tournament is held on the campus. Headed by Jake Hoover, this department FERN REED SMITH Speech MARIANNA DAVENPORT Drama offers dramatics and interpretation, speech correction, and radio and television speaking. Amateur theatre groups received a good-natured ribbing from Peggye O'Connor, Danny Wright, and Margaret Sue Thomas in this scene from The Torchbeorersf' first play of the College Players' season. ..41.. 9 E' Dean Clarence Burg's Music Appreciation gets a chance to try their hand at conducting. Q an , x . Q. The .Skbool For those who wish to study music, the OCU School of Music has everything to offer, through classes taught by the faculty of competent musicians, as well as musical op- portunities for expression abundant in a city the size of Oklahoma City and through the advantage of OCU's central location in the state. Our students play with the Oklahoma City Symphony Orchestra, they give private lessons and direct church choirs. There are constant civic and social demands for the musical talent that Oklahomans have right- fully come to expect to find at OCU. One of the most active members of the music faculty is James Neilson who, this year, has done outstanding work in the field of musical research on a committee to de- velop an elaborate tuning device. Dean of Music, Clarence Burg, annually launches and conducts state auditions for gifted stu- dents of piano. Mrs. Vera Neilson is the pres- ident of the National Association of Teach- ers of Singing, and each year takes student singers to the NATS Voice Festival in Den- ton,Texas. FINLEY G.

Scott Fulton gives Carole Page a hand with her luggage. of Mufic Performance experience, group and indi- vidual, is gained through membership in the university band, choir, orchestra, Surrey Singers, Piano Club, Vocal Arts Club, Sigma Alpha Iota, and Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, to name a few. Learning by listening is possible through the efforts of the City Symphony, Great Artist Series and Civic Music Series. This last is presented in the OCU Fine Arts auditorium. Academic courses in applied music, writing and understanding music and peda- gogy are just part of the vast musical edu- cational opportunities at Oklahoma City University.

Amy Williams, freshman instructor in harp, gives a lesson to nine-year-old Susan Taylor, making an interesting com- bination as the youngest harp instructor and the youngest harp student in the state. Typing students find their long hours of practice pay off with high paying jobs. Donna Winters enthusiastically erases a mistake as the crowded class con- centrates on the lessons at hand. James Cowden, J. H, Hamby and Richard Spurlin enjoy coffee hour more than class work at a Delta Sigma Pi function. School of Our School of Business established in i946 of- fers men and women an invaluable opportunity to prepare for successful careers in the business world. Practical courses in accounting, economics, finance, general business administration, management, mar- keting, secretarial administration and business edu- cation provide the basis of a sound career. Majors are offered in most of these fields, with a well-balanced seasoning of cultural subjects, required for a degree. But these students don't stop with the basic, they constantly multiply their knowledge with experience gained through full and part-time jobs, off campus and on, in and around Oklahoma City. Successful business men and women visit classes keeping the students up to date with the latest in business trends and improvements. WILLIS J. WHEAT JOHN T. HEDGES Business Dean Law and Economics HENRY GOLD C. R. ROBERTS Marketing Economics .-441 urinary Local businessmen welcome OCU-trained employees. Graduates and students have little difficulty in find- ing good jobs. There is a pronounced need too, for teachers of the business skills in secondary schools all over the country. The faculty and the administra- tion of the School of Business realize these needs and do their part toward 'seeing them filled. Each year a new group of graduates leave their classrooms to ta ke over classes of their own in dozens of different sub- jects. Both day and evening classes are offered in all subjects and enrollment is heavy. Classes are held in the spacious School of Business Building located near the center of the campus. One learns by doing, and in the business school students attain the essential understanding of busi- ness practices and principles of the American eco- nomic system. l i O. E. SHOEMAKER R.

Graduates of the OCU School of Low have earned fine records in all phases of Oklahoma government. TED FOSTER Assistant Dean LONG HOURS OF STUDY ROGER STEPHENS The OCU School of Law underwent three major changes this year, John G. Hervey was named new dean and the entire school moved to the campus from its downtown location. Library and classrooms are now situated in the Gold Star Memorial building. A third big change is the revision this year of the OCU Students Association's constitution granting sufferage to law students. Previously, student law provided the right to vote only to those students en- gaged in l2 or more hours. This arrangement proved unsatisfactory since law students may carry only a lO hour maximum. Departmental instruction covers the basic prin- ciples and practice of law, and offers introductory courses in law study and methods, and advanced courses in insurance, labor laws and taxation. 'ln- structors use the case-book system which is em- ployed by leading law schools throughout the Country. BERT F. GRUBB 146.- o Law Law students take advantage ofthe modern, well-equipped law library. With the School located in the capital city, students have many opportunities to observe, first-hand, all kinds of actual legal proceedings. The chances of finding employment with legal firms are great, as well as legal positions in business. Endorsing the standards of the Association of American Schools and the American Bar Association's Council on Legal Edu- cation and Admissions to the Bar, the OCU School of Law builds a substantial program which is constantly being improved. vi 1 2' was Lx. Not Guilty seems to be the theme of this picture of OCU law students gathered for a mock trial, acting the part of observers as well as participant. wif' new- 'w TOM WILLIAMS Xpv ' Y' ' v , JACK SHEEHAN WY L,,,,............., WAYNE QUINLAN 2 ff CUARENCE GILLOCK Automotive ALFRED SMITH Automotive be School The School of Industrial Arts was established as a separate school in l954, when Oklahoma City University became the first university in the United States to offer a four year certificate in Industrial Arts. An able faculty, under the supervision of Dean Fred B. Robsen, offers an extensive selection of courses in radio, tele- vision, automotives, drafting, refrigeration, air conditioning, electronics, woodworking, body and fender, and Industrial Arts education. Since basic academic courses are essential for a university graduate, the college requires its students to complete a mini- mum of forty per cent of his work in non-professional courses. Interested students have formed organizations related to their fields of study. One of these, the Industrial Arts Associa- tion, began the year with plans to affiliate with a national group.

THE KESHEN A Up to the elbows in rubber cement, copy paper and frustrations the Keshena staff finally wound up another yearbook, and another big year for OCU. ln a special attempt to include a fuller schedule of school activities the final dead- line was pushed back an extra week to make room for late-on-the-calendar events. Midnight oil is old stuff to yearbook folks, but the general opinion is that in spite of the work, it's a wonderful experience. The excite- ment of watching the book unfold from the first rough sketches to the finished annual is an un- forgettable transformation. From the time the first pictures are taken to the day the last period is clicked in place no one knows just exactly how the book is going to look, not even the editor. Every school yearbook is different, tailored to fit the personality of the school and the staff. We've tried hard to make the OCU Keshena a re- liable guide to l957 on our own campus. Many, many thanks to all the folks who've taken part in putting it together, especially our poor brow- beaten photographer, Bill English who thinks dark room is another way to say home, sweet home. ,A W ... . .,,v-:sq 15' Editor DKB managed to sandwich in a wedding and other family projects between deadlines this year, proving that petticoat bosses can more than lt's been a wonderful year to remember, from start to finish, and it's been a wonderful experience sharing it with you. ...--v !5.x' 19 Dean Averitte and Sports Editor Kathy Harper put their heads together over some football copy in the journalism building.

THE OCU CAMPUS Trim that story on the Senate and slug it. This needs a two-column l8 point, and keep it close. Orders fly thick and fast as the Campus staff approach their final deadline after which there is a slight pause and everyone takes a deep breath before starting in on the next week's edition. C. L. Grossman sponsors the nine time all- American student weekly and rides herd on the unpredictable Jays in his charge. Every month, Campus stories are screened by the publications judging board, Mr. Gross- man, V. E. Thiessen, and editor Elloui Harwood. The ten best are then forwarded to a judging board at the Oklahoman and Times newspaper. The four best this time were rated and com- mented upon by professional writers, serving as a helpful guide for the OCU journalists. This practice was initiated last fall by the Press Club. Working on the Campus has been invalu- able experience for journalism majors and those interested in news writing. f Campus staff members meet in the student center to discuss assignments with with editor Elloui Harwood, Seated left to right are: Willis Weeks, Page Waller, Julianne Leonard, Elloui Harwood, Peggy Maddox, Elizabeth Moore, Leola Mathues, Lois Holm, Chris Pappas, -1 08- 'NF 5 'H' 5 Stott photographer Bill English pauses for a picture with reporters and editors from the Campus staff.

Long a bugaboo to the student govern- ment, the alterations marked a big step forward in more efficient standards for qualifications and man- agement within the organization, and in the school as a whole. The Student Senate, composed of representa- tives from all the official campus organizations is the governing body of campus eds and co-eds. Annually the Senate sponsors a Howdy Hop and numerous other social events. Senate members also operate the polls at all school elections and contribute time to a number of campus projects. Another major accomplishment this year was the release of an up-to-date student and faculty di- rectory. John Brandt, under the supervision of the Senate, compiled the directory. Pharis Harvey, senior religion major from Guymon, served as Student Sen- ate president. Composed of the most active students on the campus, the Senate handles a surprising number of projects during the year. tndent Government in Action -fi vp fl' i Row One: Ruth Brown, Carole Frederick, Mary Lasseter, Bob Bullock, Bill Hatton, Carl Brandt.

Many programs include families and mothers. ln the spring mothers of the girls are teted at the Mother-Daughter Tea and Ban- quet. This gives them the opportunity to get the inside picture ot how their daughters have be- haved during the year. The mothers stay in the dormitory the evening before the banquet, in their daughters regular rooms. This year the skit Choir Trip, a satire on the OCU choir, presented at the December birth- day party, was perhaps the most amusing enter- tainment ot the year.

We presented an assembly for the student body and served in the student government. During the March of Dimes campaign in Oklahoma City, we turned an artistic hand to poster-making, as one of our civic projects. For our own chapter, we took great pride in getting moved into our beautiful new apartment in the Panhellenic l-loll. Members and pledges pitched in to make it a lovely, comfortable place to meet. We think the wearers ofthe golden lyre will agree, it's been a wonderful year to re- member. ALPHA CHI OMEGA Since this yearbook is dedicated to memories, the Alpha Chi Omegas would be only too glad to share the events of a wonderful year with you. From Rush to spring finals we've been busy every minute, social events, philanthropic projects, campus honors and activities and just plain fun have given us a treasure-chest of nice things to remember. In the social field we held o Founder's Day Banquet lAlpha Chi is one year old at OCUD, a Christmas party with gift exchange, Christmas Dance, informal date parties, wiener roasts, the the Spring State Day, our Spring dance, and an early-in-the-morning Come As You Are party, complete with hair curlers, pajamas and shiny faces.

One of our biggest jobs was the complete re-furnishing and re-decorating of the historic old Rice House which will now be our permanent fraternity home. The KA social calendar was full of events, the Plantation Party, a smoker honoring Robert E. Lee, western shin-dig Pigalle party, Christmas dinner, a tea, and many informal get-togethers, including the coffee date hour held at the chapter house every Mon- day morning. The Dixie Ball climaxed the dance year and loyal Sons 'O the South grew beards for the oc- casion. Rush is an important event in any fraternity and KA is no exception. Here Don Lisle, Billy Joe Johns, Dwight Wasson and John Miller visit with housemother Mrs. Frances Curnutt in the chapter livingroom. Waleah Young, Oklahoma Maid of Cotton served as Kappa Alpha Rose for this school year. One of the more unscheduled events was a funeral honoring our demised turtle, the KA entry in the Pancake Day turtle race. The poor little fellow was the innocent victim of an over-enthusiastic spectator and received a state burial. ln scholarship we maintained an average above the all-men's average for the fifth straight year since the founding of our chapter in l952. Scholarship, ac- tivities, social life, it's been a wonderful year. OFFICERS President ............. .................. ...., E d Maimbourg Vice-President .... ....... E arl Powell Secretary s....

It was entitled, Shoot Lower, Sheriff, He's Ridin' A Shetland, a tragic western melo- drama, complete with outlaws, posses and pretty gals in distress. Social events on our calendar included the Spring Rose Formal, a faculty coffee, Halloween Black Cat party, a number of informal get-togethers and serenades, date parties, and slumber ftalking and eatingb parties. We gladly donated our time to help small patients at the Crippled Children's hospital and teaching Sunday School lessons to the bedfast. We turned out, too, to assist the March of Dimes. One of the greatest days in our history was August 23, l956, when Delta Sigma Epsilon merged with Delta Zeta. This merger delighted DZs with the addition of several more chapters on Oklahoma campuses. From start to finish, as far as we're con- cerned, it HAS been a wonderful year to re- member.

Points of progress in l957 were the completion of our new fraternity house plan and the acquisition of a Boxer mascot, tenderly known as Damnit. A national honor was bestowed upon Theta Delta Zeta chapter when our housemother, Mrs. R. E. Cheuvront, was selected as a candidate for House- mother of the Year. Another prominent event was the Inter-Zeta basketball tournament, followed by a dinner-dance for nine of our surrounding chapters. On the campus Lambda Chis more than held their own in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, Blue Key, Student Senate, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, national honor music fraternity, numerous school offices, and many other activities.

On the home front, we've had an exciting, eventful, and successful year. Besides taking part in just about every activity going on at OCU, Gamma Phis stepped into the spotlight to claim a fair share of the honors being handed out. We were chosen Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, Cardinal Key, OCU Princess, Third Place Beauty Queen, Miss Print- ing Week, Basketball Queen, Third Place Ke- shena Kapers winner, Sweetheart of Epsilon Pi Tau, cheerleader, and as candidates for Maid of Cotton.

From the football field to the warpath we have had a year to be proud of. Sportwise, we captured the intramural football and table tennis trophies. ln the field of campus honors and as the result ofa spirited campaign, GCU co-eds selected a stalwart Sig Ep to receive the Chief- tain headress. We were represented in Blue Key, na- tional honor fraternity, as head cheerleader, in class offices and of course in a number of organizations on the campus. Wide Wide World, our assembly for the stu- dent body featured Wyatt Earp shooting at bal- loons while candy bars sailed into the balcony. We also participated in Keshena Kapers with a calypso skit entitled Wha' Hoppen To The Flea, directed by Bill Shadid. Sig Ep Girl of the Golden Heart for this year was Sherlene Taylor, Delta Zeta, an OCU candi- date for Oklahoma Maid of Cotton. On the social side of the list was our annual Basin Street Ball, a sock hop, hayrack ride, tie ex- change and a number of informal date parties. We also held a Christmas toy party. Members contributed a toy each which were later given to Crippled Chil- dren's hospital for redistribution. lt's been a busy year behind the red door, and as far as we're concerned, a real fine one to remember. l 2 V W AAA, Q Beverly Booth gets the ultimate in chivalrous treatment from three solicitous Sig Eps, Duane Frisbie, Dale Webah and Bill Shadid.

With an impressive winning record behind him, A. E. Abe Lemons completed his second year as OCU's athletic director and head basketball coach. The Chiefs, under Lemons and assistant coach Paul Han- sen, ended the season with outstanding showings on the home court at Municipal auditorium, road trips, and in the NCAA and All-College tournaments. This is the tenth straight year at OCU for the 33-year-old Lemons, counting his career as a player and assistant coach. Hansen, also an OCU graduate, coaches the freshman squad as well as being assistant varsity coach. Groundwork has been laid for a new unnamed conference consisting of midwest independents. Teams considered for conference are Creighton of Omaha, Regis of Denver, Detroit University, Wis- consin's Marquette, and Depaul of Chicago. The loop may be underway in the i957-58 season.

Religion has a special meaning on the OCU cam- pus. Throughout the year it is a vital and con- stant element in activities of every type, from basketball to chapel. Under the sponsorship of the Methodist Church, and th rough the guidance of some of the great spiritual leaders and teach- ers of our day the college year unfolds in a dy- namic, realistic picture of Christianity as a vital part of each student and faculty member's life. Students find that a busy day that begins and ends with prayer is a happier, more productive one. MSM evening services fre- quently include a prayer altar. Religion means good times, too. One of the first events of the year was a get-acquainted party under the stars, sponsored by the Methodist Student Movement.

The brick, Colonial- style building was chistened Josephine Bell Pan- hellenic l-lall. A large oil portrait of Dean Bell was unveiled at the dedication ceremonies. The portrait was a gift from the sorority members, and will hang in the foyer of the hall. The three national groups are Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Zeta and Gamma Phi Beta. Long dreamed of by OCU co-eds, the new Panhellenic Hall is divided into four apartments, decorated in styles ranging from early American to contemporary. Each group occupies a sepa rate apartment. Dean Bell has been a member of the OCU faculty since l946, and is chiefly responsible for the realization of the building. She is supervisor of women's housing, Panhellenic council sponsor and a member of seven major university commit- tees, including the President's cabinet. She holds degrees from Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas, and Columbia University, and has studied at the University of Chicago. An active member in both civic and campus affairs, this honor was a well-deserved tribute to a truly fine and dedicated woman. Mrs.C. Q.
