FORMER STUDENTS ASSOCIATION AFTER spending four happy years together as students, what happens to gradu- ating classes? VVho keeps up with them and can tell where the various indi- vidual members are and what they are doing when five, ten, fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five years have passed? How can they be found? What means is provided for maintaining contacts and disseminating personal news among the alumni? ls there any machinery set up or any means or agency whereby the alumni of the Oklahoma A. and M. College can associate themselves together in a body for service to each other and for the upbuilding and betterment of their alma mater? Since the first class went out from Old Central in 1896, an answer has been sought to these questions in some kind of an alumni association. ln 1920 the Alumni Corporation was formed and for the first time in the history of the college a secretary was employed. The realization of the need for a more inclusive and comprehensive organization was felt, and the Former Students Association was founded and incorporated in 1928 as the successor to the Alumni Corporation. Today, the Former Students Association represents all the former students and alumni of the Oklahoma A. and M. College. Its program includes the publica- tion ofthe A. and M. College Magazine, the maintenance of files and records of former students and alumni, the , fostering of class reunions, and homecomings, the opera- tion of a Placement Bureau, the preservation of his- torical materials, and the support and advancement of the interests of the institution by seeking to encourage the attendance of the best students and by backing the institutional program in every way possible. The Association being made up and governed by alumni and former students themselves, can only become what they make it. Its services will be expanded or con- tracted in proportion to the support given, and the Okla- homa A. and M. College itself will grow in inliuence and usefulness only as those who go out from her halls remain loyal to her and to each other and as they reliect credit Z upon her fair name and upon themselves.

DEANS OF MEN AND WOMEN DEAN Ci.,xiuaNc15 H. lX'lcE1,uov OLUTION of all those problems of student life, and especially those concerning men students on the campus, is the task of Clarence H. McElroy, Dean of Men. Through his personal contact with the students, his judg- ment of human nature, and by sympathetic understanding of their problems, the Dean of Hen has helped build and maintain a high standard of student life on' our campus. Dean McElroy serves as chairman of the Discipline Committee, and approval of the rooming houses for students is among the many duties of his office. The high place that Dean McElroy has won in the affections of the students is partially traceable to his belief that college students are capable and should have a large part in governing themselves, and if given this opportunity, need supervision only to keep them from acting too severely in cases requiring discipline. Dean McElroy is himself a graduate of Oklahoma A. and M. and since 1909 has been in the continuous service of the institution. lf it can be said that any one man contains within himself all the aims, ideals, and tradi- tions for which our college stands, then that man is A'Dean Mc. Of a similar function as the ofhce of the Dean of Men, is the office of Dean of VVomen. XYithin her office must be found the correct solution to the many perplexities confronting the A. and Nl. College co-ed. The Dean of XYomen supervises the living conditions of the women students, both in the dormitories on the campus and private residences in the city. She acts as advisor to every Xvoman's organization and is a member of the Discipline Committee. Dances and other amusements must be approved by the Dean of XYomen, and women students must secure her permission to leave town. So, to Dean of XYomen Julia E. Stout, we must give much credit for the high moral standing of A. and Nl, As a counselor and advisor, the Dean of XYomen has helped the co-eds make contacts, seek worthwhile goals, and realize ambitions that are most beneficial to a worthy life.

Another activity worthy of note sponsored by the SENATE HE Student Senate is the governing body of the Student Association, which is made up of every regu- larly enrolled college student. The duties of the Senate are: To pass legislation concerning the activities of the college students, to bring about a closer relationship among the college administration, the faculty, and the student body, to make rules and regulations for the government of the student body as a whole, to supervise the election of association and class officers, and to make recommendations on appointments of students partici- pating in the athletic cabinet, the discipline committee, college social committee, and other college committees on which the Student Association has representation. Although composed of an almost entirely new personnel, this year's Student Senate had an active year and accomplished agreat deal. sponsored the Homecoming 1933-34 Senate was the successful campaign for the pur- pose of financing the Varsity baseball team after the athletic cabinet had announced the abandonment of a baseball team for the current season due to lack of funds. A 3300 goal was reached, and the money was turned to the athletic fund for use in rounding out the spring sports program with baseball. Probably for the first time in the history of student government, the Senate exercised its impeachment powers and removed from office several of the class officers. l GRAY CORGAIX XYILLIS DoL'o1.,xs ALEXANDER Sums CLIEMENT JOHN soN OAKLEY Luv I.1'r'r1.icjoi-IN CIHLDERS Fow1.LR NIILLS Page 2-I
