B tt o cepts With pleasure the Sugar bowl trophy at our celebration in lanuary CEDTTOBS NQTE: Coming to Qlclahon A. of M. in l928, Dr. l-lenry G. Bennett has served as one of the best presidents that the college has ever had. Practically all of the major campus buildings are the re- sult of Doctor Bennetts efforts and fore- sight-resulting in a college that is one of the largest in the nation, both in educa- tional facilities and prominence. Students of Qlclahoma A. G M. are proud of their president and are aiding, and will con- tinue to aid him in making the college one in which thousands of Aggies-under- graduates and alumni-will always take pride. This year, as in past years, the BEDSKIN editor requested Doctor Bennett to contribute a message to the student body.l A MESSAGE This has been a great year, not alone for our College but for the World, as well. A year ago as l sat down to pen this page for that year's annual, the War Was still on full blast. Germany had just made what proved to be her last desperate lunge in the Battle of the Bulgeg lapan was still pro- claiming to her people her utter invinci- bility. Millions of young Americans were massed at many points over all the world. Now, victory is ours, complete, incontro- vertible, and most of the young Americans are back on their native soil. The debt which we owe these young men and Women will be discharged in full. lt has been a great year for our College, for With the ending of the War the need for young people in industry has subsided and also many thousands of veterans are avail- ing themselves of the opportunity for Page 3 4 EBCDM PRESIDENT l-l. G. BENNETT higher education which a grateful nation has made available. Not only have a vast throng of new students been welcomed to Qklahoma A. and M. College, but a sur- prisingly large proportion of those whose college careers were interrupted by the call to arms are back among us. lt is good to renew these old friendships, good to see the faces of old friends, may- hap bronzed and matured a bit, yet in no wise lacking the old-time youthful buoy- ancy and eagerness. For friendship, as the years pass over one, takes on deeper meaning and more significant value. Al- ways we have prized it, of course, but ma- turing, in spiritual and mental stature as well as physical, we come to see more clearly that we are very much what our friendships and our affections make us. The friendships of college years are es- pecially deep and binding. Eew are the friendships that you will make after you leave college that will be as lasting. Ac- guaintances, yes-by the thousands prob- ably, but few will be the rich, unreserved giving and taking of the self that charac- terizes the college friendship. lt cannot be confused with camaraderie, which sug- gests a superficial though jolly association, easily assumed and as easily dropped. Nor is it like a partnership, which suggests a rather formal relationship, an associa- tion assumed for business purposes only, from which deep personal ties are care- fully withdrawn. Because college friendships mean so much, and because they will last so long, it is most gratifying to see this year's BED- SKIN dedicated to them. lt is most fitting this particular year because it is one not only of new friendships but of the renewal of many, many old ones which have sur- vived the passage of several years, separa- tion in space, and the crisis of war. Doctor Bennett, President of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college. Page 35 4 l l During the years he has served, the gov- ernor of Oklahoma has more than justified the hopes of those who believed in his as- sertions of his belief in education, l-lis con- tinuous interest in the educational affairs of the state and the fact that he has had cour- age to take a firm and unshakable stand for the best interests of education, as Well as for justice and right in all matters per- taining to education in the state, have made the citizens of Oklahoma more than proud. A man of such broad intellectual and moral stature, as Robert S. Kerr has shown himself to possess, could not but pilot the affairs of state in the right channels so long as he has served in that eminent office. Basically a family man, Mr. Kerr climbed into the governorship of Oklahoma the hard Way. Born in a log cabin during the most picturesque era in the life of the Sooner state, he is the first native Okla- homan ever elected to an executive posi- tion. GOVERNOR ROBERT S. KERR This tall, distinguished, smiling Ameri- can, with his outstanding ability of oratory, is as unassuming as the proverbial school boy, and his personality radiates that com- mon touch. Listed in Who's Vxfho in America as a lawyer and oil producer, Big Bob has served as a member of the law firm, Kerr and Lambert, as a drilling contractor and oil producerg was president of Kerlyn Oil company: justice of the Oklahoma supreme court, and president of the Oklahoma County luvenile council. l-le is a member of the Democratic National committee. We, as students of Oklahoma A. and M. and citizens of Oklahoma, with mingled feelings of gratitude and respect, take this opportunity to express our appreciation of fealty to our governor.

School of Agriculture The division of Agriculture consists of three parts: The school of Agriculture, de- voted to residence instruction in all phases of agriculture, the Agricultural Experiment Station, devoted to scientific research aimed at solving various problems of Okla- homa farmersp and the Agricultural Exten- sion Service, devoted to disseminating use- tul and practical information on agriculture and home economics to the people of the state of Oklahoma, and encouraging its application. Agriculture, which is the basic industry of Oklahoma, is changing with the time, and changes bring problems. The soil is liable to become deficient in certain essen- tial elements even with the best of care. New insect pests, new plant diseases and new animal diseases make their way into Oklahoma in spite of all the good work of the regulatory agencies. Field crops, veg- etables, fruits, livestock, and poultry are all being improved at a rapid rate and must be fitted into Oklahoma agriculture. This all means that agriculture must be a very live science, working hand in hand with other basic sciences. The Agricultural Experiment Station spends its time finding new facts in agri- culture. The School of Agriculture takes these new facts, along with the older ones and the basic sciences, and teaches them to the men and women of Oklahoma who come to the college for either the regular four-year course in agriculture or for short courses. The Agricultural Extension Serv- ice takes the new facts and disseminates them to the farm people of the state who are unable to leave their work and come to the campus of Oklahoma A. 6: M. for instruction.

School of Arts and Sciences Mother of Colleges is the affectionate sobriguet often applied to the liberal arts college, or the college of arts and sciences, in recognition of its basic character, both historically and logically. For a good many years the mother seemed forgotten because her many specialized children-law, medi- cine, engineering, business, and what have you-were monopolizing attention. That interest now is moving back to fundamen- tals throughout the nation as evidenced by mounting enrollments in the basic college and by various steps taken by most profes- sional schools to increase their own stu- dents' pre-professional grounding in the arts and sciences. Oklahoma A. ci M. moves forward also in this wave of the future , for the liberal arts division of the college this year reached the highest enrollment in its his- tory, and appears destined to attract even more students in the years ahead. lt is of special interest to note that the greatest growth in the school is not toward specialized degrees, but toward general liberal education. The principal evidence of this is the increasing number of students who at entrance have no preconceived goal, but who enroll as general students. But faculty advisers also report growing breadth of scholastic interests as well, and the college librarian adds his bit of testi- mony that the reading habits of students are better, both quantitatively and quali- tatively. So here's hats off to the future of the Mother of Colleges . May she continue toward the level of leadership which so eX- cellent an institution as Oklahoma A. G M. and so promising a state as Oklahoma de- mand of her! Mrs. lack supervises Carolyn Holman and lanice Stewart in pot tery making.

School of Commerce Came September, l945, and lanuary, l9-46. Commerce men and Women by the hundreds returned from Wareback to books and laboratories. To men who had fought tough enemies, the opportunity to get back to the campus, back to books, and back to old college friends is a pearl of great price. We look backward with pride. We see Commerce men and women in large num- bers throughout Oklahoma cmd in other states occupying creative positions in pri- vate and public life: Owning and operat- ing business firms, holding responsible management positions with corporations, serving usefully in private cmd public ac- counting, managing insurance agencies, occupying top positions in secretarial and personnel work, serving in positions of trust in the civil service, performing professional services With social Work agencies, serving in appointive and elective positions in lo- cal, state, cmd federal government. We look forward with enthusiasm. Through the years ahead We see an enlarg- ing stream of graduates entering adult eX- perience in state and nation. We see the standards of Work done in classrooms and laboratories measured in terms of qualities of mind of our graduates-minds alert to social change, informed on Ways of the past worth preserving, conscious of the im- portance of balance between individual and social responsibility, tolerant amidst confusion of group contentions, courage- ous when Weak men falter. Business today demands expert, scientifi- cally trained men and women with a de- gree of versatility and ability to eventually occupy positions of leadership in the field of commerce.

De-an Thomas has a cheerful greeting for every' School ot Education The education of teachers is one ot the primary functions ot the Oklahoma A. and M. college. From 1930 to 1939 the institu- tion graduated 4854 persons With bache- lor's degrees, and ot this number, 1228 were issued certificates to teach. Not all ot these, ot course, were graduated from the School ot Education, but the majority of them Were. The School ot Education is proud of the record its graduates have made. They are located in schools scattered throughout Oklahoma and other states ot the nation. Not only does the school serve its own students, but students in all the other schools as Well. ln addition to offering the professional courses in education required by the state board ot education for certiti- cates, it otters a major in the field of psy- chology. The department of psychology also main- tains the testing bureau, which in addition to administering the various entrance eX- aminations, also provides a complete test- ing prcgram for students after they enroll, as needed. This department is also in process ot developing a child clinic for the purpose ot serving the child welfare agen- cies of the state, and also to provide a lab- oratory tor training clinical psychologists. lt is in this department that personnel and guidance Workers are trained. Not the least valuable service rendered by the school is the program of in-service training of teachers it conducts. lt We are to have a better World in which to live, it Will come through the education ot the people. This is a fact that is becom- ing clear to all. The School of Education is happy to play its part in bringing about this greatly desired objective.

Division of Engineering The engineer's function is utilitarian. lt is through engineering that a large share of the fruits of science become available to the individual citizen. The fact that the homes we live in are comfortable, the pro- cessed foods We eat are tasty and healthful and the clothes we wear are colorful and comfortable is due to the application of en- gineering technigues in their design and production. Our amusement through mo- tion pictures, radio, and our enlightenment by telephone and the printed page are de- pendent upon the application of engineer- ing. Since 1902, when a graduating class of three engineers left this campus to enter the practice of engineering, the division of Engineering has expanded its scope of activities in keeping with engineering progress. The choice of our division of Engineering for preparation in engineering resulted in a growth that places it among the larger engineering schools of the United States. Graduates of the division of Engineering have earned an enviable reputation for competence, thoroughness and industry throughout the land. lt is believed much of the success of our engineering graduates stems from the pol- icy of employing faculty members who have had experience in engineering ac- tivities. ln addition to providing training in its various branches the division of Engineer- ing embraces research in the Engineering Experiment Station, established 25 years ago, and carries on extension activities. These activities not only contribute to the industrial development of the state but also provide the students With an opportunity for research and to make contact with the problems of industry prior to graduation.

School of l-lome Economics Nora Amaryllis Talbot, dean of Home Economics, is largely responsible for the inspiration which has enlarged the scope of the school's training and established its high standards, nationally recognized. To think of home economics as a mar- riage course is an old-fashioned idea. lt may more truly be thought of as an invest- ment-one that will bring rich dividends in many phases of life. The department of home economics edu- cation, under the direction of Dr. Millie V. Pearson, trains students to be vocational home economics teachers, general home economics teachers, home demonstration agents, and commercial demonstrators. The department of home life, directed by Dr. Virginia Messenger, prepares students for social workers, family life consultants, and nursery school teachers. The department of household arts, under the direction of Mrs. Adaline Ledbetter, prepares girls for the fields of dress de- signing, styling, dressmaking, alteration workers and clerks, textile buying and re- search, and for interior decoration. The household science department, di- rected by Dr. Daisy l. Purdy, trains students for dietitians, nutritionists, cafeteria mana- gers, food buyers and managers, and equipment demonstrators. The department trains men for hotel and cafe management. The aim of the division of Home Econom- ics is to train one for Well-rounded living, and to give one experience as a home- maker, hostess, cook, buyer, and nurse- maid. lt gives students training for pro- fessional work, and training which pre- pares and inspires them to express higher ideals of Womanhood to the world.

The upward trend of graduate enrollment indicated the growing aware- ness of adults to the value of advanced education in preparing for ever-increasing demands and changes in their respective fields of study and occupation. The Graduate School emphasizes the de- velopment of individual thought and scien- tific research methods in its education pro- gram, which is designed to serve the needs of men and women who desire a broad understanding of modern scholarship. Since its inception, the Graduate School has encouraged the student to develop his initiative and do his own research. l-le formulates his plan of study with his major and minor departments on the basis of his own preparation and interest. Thus the graduate student returning from war serv- ice finds here freedom to refresh his knowl- edge of his field, develop additional skills, or increase his general cultural back- ground. The Graduate School has been able to meet the needs of most individuals by granting advanced degrees in many fields. Forty-one departments offer the master's degree, and six departments offer the pro- fessional degree in engineering. The doc- tor's degree may be obtained in the field of education. Administration of the Graduate School is handled by Dean D. C. Mclntosh, who or- ganized the school in l929. The graduate faculty is composed of the president of the college, the dean of the Graduate School, and members of the faculty who regularly teach courses for graduate students.

The county and home demonstration agents, in each of the state's 77 counties, serve as the field faculty in teaching and encouraging the use of agri- cultural findings of the college and U. S. department of agriculture. The Extension Division was established to bridge the gap between research work- ers and the farms and homes. Extension Division specialists work closely with the various departments of Oklahoma A. 61 M. college and with other colleges throughout the nation to keep abreast of the latest in agricultural developments. This informa- tion is given to county and home demon- stration agents where it is presented to peo- ple interested in agricultural improvement. Organized extension programs in counties are conducted with organizations of men, home demonstration clubs, and 4-l-l club groups. During the war years the Extension Divi- sion worked diligently in promoting home food production and preservation. Okla- homa farmers attained the greatest food production record ever established in the history of the state. ln addition to food pro- duction and preservation, the division, through county agents, placed special em- phasis on helping farmers conserve natural resources, equipment, and other essentials necessary to all-out farm production. With the war's end, the division is devot- ing much effort to the problems involved in changing from wartime production to peacetime agricultural production.

McElroy. Known to all as Dean Mac , he has aided men students in this capacity since 1928, and has been a leading faculty member since l909. Among his numerous other activities, some of which are not generally known, are chairmanship of the athletic cabinet, head of the department of veterinary medi- cine and bacteriology and the chairman- ship of the College council in the absence of Dr. Henry G. Bennett. Dean Mac has a most diversified rec- ord in that he was at one time acting presi- dent of the college and for many years was dean of the School of Science and Litera- ture, now Arts and Sciences. Dean of Women Whether their many varied and complex problems are of social, financial or scholas- tic nature, the young women students at A. and M. know they will find a sympa- thetic listener in Dean Iulia E. Stout. For young women coming to A. and M. for the first time, it is the duty of the dean of women to provide them with counsel and friendship, to make the transition from home life to college life as smooth as pos- sible. The job of advising, restoring confidence when needed, and looking after the physi- cal welfare of the women students, is one that requires a broad understanding of hu- man nature. lt is a job that Dean Stout ful- fills admirably. ln addition to her many duties, she also is the official hostess of the college. . . .

Alpha Gamma Rho was founded in the fall of l9O-4 at Ohio State university and Pi chapter was installed at A. CX M. in l92l. Since that time, many outstanding students of agriculture have made their homes at the chapter here, and have gone on to establish enviable records in agricultural Work. The spirit of the fraternity was kept alive during the War, to a great extent, by the ef- forts of Dr. H. C. Olson, our faculty advisor, Who did a great job of keeping the members in contact with each other. Sixteen members returned for the second semester and 25 men pledged during the year. The social functions of the year Were high- lighted by the annual Barn dance , a gala affair reminiscent of pre-War gaiety. Numer- ous dinners, parties, and smokers helped off- set the lack of a home. Members and pledges were again active in the various organizations and activities of the School of Agriculture, in varsity Wrestling, and in interfraternity sports.

Starting with a mem- bership ,bf eight, Beta Theta Pi, with rapid and steadfast strides, now has 92 active chapters and a roll of over 47,000 members. In l908, Delta Sigma, a local fraternity, Which later became Beta Theta Pi, was or- ganized on the Oklahoma A. Cc M. campus. Since that time it has constantly striven to help its members achieve the goals of in- tellectual improvement and the building of strong characters. Beta Theta Pi Was inactive during the War, but now with l3 members back and with 23 pledges, most of Whom will be eligi- ble for initiation this spring, the fraternity is prepared to launch itself into the prosper- ous post-War years with enthusiasm and proceed as before. The officers for l946 are Dick Wilber, president, Wesley lanes, vice-president, Sonny Warren, secretary, Clive Murray, treasurer, and Orvin lohn- ston, social chairman. Page lU3 A ..

Z' .LE , W 51557 -t-' Farm House Farmhouse is a semi-professional frater- nity, the purpose of which is to foster fel- lowship, scholarship, and high principles of moral character among students in agri- culture. lt was founded at the University of Missouri in l005 by a small group of stu- dents who were actively interested in pro- viding a home with invigorating environ- ment for worthy agricultural students. The name Farmhouse was chosen be- cause the founders wished to emulate the farm home and its life. As the colonial farm house of 300 years ago became the founda- tion of our present social, moral, and intel- lectual ideals, so was the name Farmhouse selected to typify the social, moral, and in- tellectual ideals of the fraternity and its members. Farmhouse was reactivated here on the campus this year after having been inac- tive because of war activities. The present officers are: Frank Spore, president, Elvin Bhoten, vice-president, Estel Cobb, secre- tary, Chauncey Schaller, treasurerg loe Gay, social chairman, Hugh Robinson, pledge-mastery Don Rader, corresponding secretary, and Dale Bloyd, historian. Page l04 Kappa Alpha Out of the chaos that followed the civil War, Kappa Alpha Was organized to pre- serve the beauties of southern chivalry, hospitality, and grace. At Washington col- lege in Lexington, Va., in l865, four young men banded together to form the brother- hood of the Kappa Alpha order. From this small nucleus KA has spread throughout the southland. Today, KA ranks tenth in membership among national fraternities. Sixty-six chapters are estab- lished on all prominent campuses through- out Dixieland. Beta Xi chapter of Kappa Alpha was the second national fraternity to be established at A. QS M. After three years of inactivity due to War- time measures, KA ushered in the spring semester with a myriad of social functions. These included a banquet dinner for each of the sororities, a spring picnic, and the 23rd annual presentation of the Dixie dance. Ever to be remembered are those Kappa Alphas who shall never return from the World's battlefields to the Aggie campus. lt is to the memory of these men-Bob Campbell, Don Blaicher, Paul Alvis, and Dick Holt-that this page is respectfully dedicated.

From that time it has consistently grown until at present there are ll3 active chapters, with some 50,000 members. The Gamma Psi chapter of Kappa Sigma was chartered on the A. ci M. campus May l0, 1920. Previous to that time it had been Gamma Zeta, a local fraternity composed of a few intrepid souls who desired to band themselves together in the interests of friendship and common tastes. After closing for the war years, Gamma Psi was reactivated on Ianuary l0, l946, and has again resumed its task of building outstanding men and leaders. Although the members of Gamma Psi chapter of Kappa Sigma are elated at their opportunity to return to their college and fraternal endeavors, they are ever mindful of their dear brothers-Will Roy Iames, Or- man F. Harlan, Edward F. Fox, Walter E. Downs, ,Edwin L. Ross, Archibald A. Mc- Pheeters, Thomas M. Powers, George E. Kleinsteiber, Iames E. Worthley, Bert A. Hill, and Donald Shaw-who lost their lives in World War ll. Page 106 Y i Lambda Chi Alpha Enthusiasm which marked all Lambda Chi activities in pre-war days is again the keynote of the Alpha Eta chapter on the A. ci M. campus since its re-activation this year. Selecting its new pledges with emphasis on scholarship and student leadership, Lambda Chi Alpha has established a solid foundation for assuming its position of leadership once again on the A. df M. cam- pus. Returning to guide the activities of the chapter are several outstanding mem- bers back from service in the armed forces. These include Bay Adler, president of Lambda Chi, who is also president of the A. CS M. lnterfraternity council. I On the A. CS M. campus, Lambda Chi Al- pha is laying plans for a well-rounded pro- gram of wholesome social activities for the coming year. These may include the tra- ditional Hobo dance, picnics, hayrides, and the annual spring dance. Alpha Eta Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha was the first national fraternity on the A. CS: M. campus. lt began its history as a local, Chi Alpha, in lanuary, l9l7, when mem- bers occupied their first home.

Origin- ally consisting of eight members, the frater- nity has grown until it now includes a to- tal of ll5 chapter houses throughout the nation. lts property valuation is over 55,000,000 Oklahoma Mu chapter of S.A.E. was or- iginally a local order, Chi Beta, and was granted a charter on February l-4, 1931. Scholastically, it has ranked high on this campus for the past decade. The chapter has always been strong in interfraternity athletics and has provided stiff competition in practically every sport in which it has participated. lts well-rounded activities include many positions in outstanding campus organiza- tions. Oklahoma Mu lists among its num- bers the president of Blue Key, the presi- dent of the Student Senate, the editor of the Aggievator , three outstanding members of the victorious Aggie basketball team, one first team member of the l946 Sugar bowl champions, and the president of Players club. Officers for the school year 1945-46 were Don Hudson, president, and lack Bailey, secretary. Page 1 08 Sigma Chi Gamma Delta chapter of Sigma Chi was established on the A. CS M. campus, De- cember 15, 1922, and owns its house at 1101 College. Founded at Miami university, Cxford, Ohio, on Iune 28, 1855, by seven men who rebelled from another organization be- cause of underhanded practices, Sigma Chi was the 19th college fraternity and a member of the famous Miami Triad with Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta. Truly international with its Canadian chapters, Sigma Chi is one of the oldest and largest of Greek-letter societies. Beactivated lanuary 1, 1946, Gamma Delta chapter held formal pledging early in the second semester for the largest pledge class in its history. Sig member and pledge lists alike now consist mainly of returned World War ll veterans-veter ans who worked and fought in all parts oi the war-torn World for the same ideals of life for which the white cross oi Sigma Chi stands.

From this small group has grown the pres- ent national fraternity, one of the largest in the nation. There are now over 40,000 members in its 98 active chapters located in 40 states. The total property value of the national organization is a great deal over three million dollars. On October l8, l920, Epsilon Epsilon chapter of Sigma Nu Was founded at A. 51 M. college. Dr. C. H. McElroy, dean of men, is among the charter members of this chapter. Since May of l943 Epsilon Epsilon had been inactive on A. CS M.'s campus. ln De- cember of l945, Men's lnter-fraternity coun- cil re-activated Sigma Nu fraternity. With a nucleus of l8 men, Sigma Nu began where it left off before so many of its broth- ers were called to the service of their country. Gfficers for this year were lames Tones, president, Lee Murray, vice-president, Mil- ton Emmons, treasurerg and Edgar Dayton, secretary. Page 110 Sigma Phi Epsilon Oklahoma Alpha of Sigma Phi Epsilon, founded at A.

The national fraternity, founded at Richmond, Va., in l90l, has pro- gressed rapidly and is now the l2th largest in the nation with 73 chapters and a mem- bership over 25,000 During the second semester of this year, 19 active members returned to the campus and 33 pledges were added to its roll. This chapter is strongly backed by alumni chap- ters in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Muskogee, and Stillwater. The alumni and founders of the Oklahoma Alpha chapter still on the campus are A. O. Martin, R. B. Thompson, H. W. Cave, S. R. Wood, Fred Ahrberg, Henry Dunlavy, ML l. Plice, and O. L. Nickells. Officers for the current year were Bill Fitzstephens, Bartlesville, presidentg S. M.

Theta Kappa Phi, an organization for Catholic men, had its inception on the cam- pus of Lehigh university, Bethlehem, Penn- sylvania, on Gctober l, l9l4. The founders were a group of under- graduate students Who were granted per- mission to found the order by Cardinal Dennis I. Dougherty, Archbishop of Phila- delphia and the new chaplain of the fra- ternity, who sailed for Home to secure the Papal blessing for Theta Kappa Phi. Theta Kappa Phi expanded with surpris- ing rapidity, spreading its chapters nation Wide, strengthening the backbone of col- lege life, fraternalism. The number of chapters has now reached 14. Nu chapter of Theta Kappa Phi has fol- lowed the footsteps of its mother, rising from the Beta chapter of the Friars to its installation as Nu chapter in the spring of 1937. As has the rest of OAlVlC's fraternities, Theta Kappa Phi had been inactive during the war, but reorganized in Ianuary, l946. Officers for this year were Pat l-loran, presi- dent, and Larry McCaffery, treasurer. Page 112 INTER - FRATERNITY CCUNCIL In Ray Adler, Bill Fisher, S. M. Hart, H. T. I-lazelrigg, Ir., C. I.

Before the official re- opening, the few fraternity members who had returned banded together in informal meetings to formulate the plans and poli- cies of the fraternities. With the ultimate decision to revive fraternity life as it had been, the official lnterfraternity council was effected. The council, more than ever before, formed a nuclear agency to provide for or- ganized pledging, rushing, initiation pro- cedure, interfraternity athletics and social activities. Membership of the council is composed of two representatives from each fraternity, one of whom must be the president of his fraternity, while the other is chosen from the active membership. Officers of the council are a president, a vice-president, and a secretary-treasurer, each of whom must be a regular delegate to the council. The presidents of the coun- cil are selected successively by and from the member fraternities in rotational order Page H3 of installation. The vice-president is se- lected from the fraternity following, in se- quence of installation, the fraternity from which the president is chosen. The secre- tary-treasurer is elected by a popular bal- lot from the membership of the council. A new constitution was written with pro- visions made in accordance with factors affecting reopening of the fraternity sys- tem. Due to the unprecedented problems confronting the council, little effort was made regarding social activities, as the council found its hands full in establishing rules and proce- dures in admin- istrational poli- cies for the re-es- tablished frater- nities.

Guided and en- c o u r a g e d by their college president, they held several meetings and chose the diamond as their jewel, the Kil- larney rose as their flower, and Vieux green and old rose as their colors. P o u n d e d on those traditions and achievements of pioneer days, Delta Zeta has grown to a membership of well over 10,500 with 54 active college chapters and 74 alumnae chapters. Among its interna- tionally known members, Delta Zeta counts Princess Martha of Norway and her Lady in Waiting. Other well-known personali- ties are Claribel Steinberg of the supreme court, Gail Patrick, Leslie Ford, Mrs. Ger- ald P. Nye and Major Marion Boyd Dryden. Delta Zeta, throughout the nation, carries on a unique project called the Standards IUNE CARSON, President program. Under the Standards program series, a meeting is held in each chapter house once a month, at which time the girls gather to hear an outstanding speaker on art, music, literature, current events, or any such subject of interest to the college woman. This has developed into one of Delta Zeta's most enjoyable and worth- while projects. Alpha Epsilon chapter of Delta Zeta was first installed on the A. of M. campus in l922 and reinstalled in l94l. At this time the new ranch house designed by Dwight Stevens, of the A. G M. architecture depart- ment, was opened. Officers of the local chapter are june Carson, presidentg Bettie l-latcher, vice-presidentg Lucille Blackwell, secretaryg and Ann Horton, treasurer. The local chapter has participated in all campus activities this year. Barbara Mar- tin was president of YWCA and vice-presi- dent of Wesley Foundation. Ann Horton found time outside her regular senior ac- tivities to be vice-president of Xi Mu, treas- urer of Sigma Alpha Sigma, and a member of the Commerce Student Council. An- other aotive member was Bobby lean Webb, who was chosen to be president of Peppers. Delta Zeta also has members in other scholastic organizations on the campus. Page 118 TZ? :Hit Zi 335'-53.

Theta it- self was born on lanuary 27, l87U, w h e n f o u r women students at DePauw university, Greencastle, lndiana, banded together and chose three Greek letters to identify their organization. The Kappa Alpha Theta chapter house, located at l323 College avenue, was con- structed in l932. A three-story building, the English-style architecture construction will house 40 occupants. Theta, led by Kitty Crth, president, loe Ann Champlin, vice-president, loyce Fran- cis, secretaryg and loan Vassar, treasurer, has as its purpose social, intellectual, and moral growth . ln addition to social activi- ties, Theta strives for high standards of leadership, scholarship, and friendship.

V Liga '-4 -1 white chevron on which are inscribed the Greek letters, Kappa Alpha Theta. The date of founding, l87O, is at the bottom in Greek. Theta's colors are black and gold, found both in the badge and in its flower, the pansy. Cne of the first chapter activities of this school year was its sponsorship of the for- mal ribbon dance, in honor of all new fra- ternity pledges. Kappa Alpha Theta was in charge of the Panhellenic project for the year, which provided drugs and medicines to needy local families. At Christmas time, girls of the chapter made 25 boxes to be distributed by the Bed Cross to soldiers in hospitals. Among the outstanding members of the chapter are Carol Lahman and loan Vas- sar, both Mortar Board members, who were chosen for Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges .

Four col- lege girls who had forethought enough to s e e that friendship could be carried on through the years, sought to create in this sorority a beautiful symbol for their aspirations and to perpetuate their friendship far into the future. Today the diamond shield of Kappa Del- ta has become the symbol of one of the leading national Greek letter women's fra- ternities, with chapters on many campuses. The purpose of Kappa Delta explains the high ideals of its founders, stating that the purpose of Kappa Delta sorority is to pro- mote true friendship among the college girls of our country by inculcating into their hearts and lives those principles of truth, of honor, of duty, without which there can be no true friendship. Nu, the local chapter, was granted a MARY IO WHILLOCK, President charter by national and officially installed at the college on August 9, 1919. Since then the girls who show partiality to the olive green and white have become lead- ers in all phases of campus and national life. After enrollment the girls found them- selves with another cheerleader, tiny Pat Taylor of Sapulpa. Besides taking part in the coed prom and the Varsity Bevue, and giving their whole-hearted support to cam- pus drives, KDs found time to have mem- bership in Peppers, Theta Sigma Phi, WAA, AWS, YWCA, Newman Club, Play- ers Club, Alpha Pi Mu, Delta Sigma Alpha, Phi Chi Delta, Kappa Psi, Home Economics club, Kappa Phi, and many others.

There are now 90 ac- tive chapters and approximately 32,000 members. The flower is the wine carnation and the colors are wine red and silver blue. Oklahoma Beta chapter of Pi Beta Phi was established on the A. and M. campus in l9l9. The easily recognized Pi Beta Phi pin is a slender golden arrow and linked chain with a pearl encrusted shaft, having the Greek letters at its base. The Arrow , of- ficial magazine of the fraternity, is pub- lished quarterly. Pi Beta Phi has as its ideal something more than to be a mere social fraternity. ln l922, a Settlement school was founded at Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The school of- fers child and adult training for the people of the Tennessee mountains, both in cur- ricular and vocational work. ft was the IANE COFFEE, President- first altruistic work of its kind and it stands as a memorial to the founders of the frater- nity, carrying on the ideals and standards which were their aim. Gfficers of Gklahoma Beta are lane Cof- fee, president, Doris lean Townsell, vice- president, Pauline Dilts, secretary, and Molly Bisel, treasurer. Rita I-luff, well known on the campus for her achievements, chalked up more honors this year. She was tapped for Mortar Board, selected for Who's Who in Ameri- can Colleges and Universities, and served on the Student Senate. The Engineering gueen's crown sat gracefully on the head of Betty Lou Wain- scott, who fulfilled the tradition that the Pi Beta Phi house was a house of gueens. 'Carol Merrifield was president of Pan- American 7 Betty Sue Bruce, Catherine Mof- fit, and Gloria Berry served with Iane Cof- fee on the YWCA cabinet. Catherine Mof- fit was chairman of the clothes drive for Europeans on the campus in December. Betty Beckham was editor of the beauty section in the BEDSKIN. The traditional Gypsy tea was held by the pledge class this year. This is an an- nual event which the Pi Phi pledges give in honor of the other Greek pledges on the campus. Halloween brought on a party which was complete with fall decorations. Page 124 l hear you knocking, but you can'f corne ini l. Adams, M. Adams, B. Amis, I. Amis, E. Anqerer, B. Beckham, G. Berry, M.

A , Zeta Tau Al- pha was official- ly founded Octo- ber 15, l898, at t h e V i r g i n i a State Normal school, F a r m - ville, Virginia, al- though first meet- ings toward or- ganization were h e l d in l 8 9 7 . The c o l o r s o f A the fraternity are turquoise blue and steel gray. The flower is the white violet. Alpha Upsilon chapter was chartered on the Oklahoma A. CS: M. campus in l928. Zeta Tau Alpha, one of the six women's fraternities that pioneered the south, main- tained four altruistic projects. These are the scholarship loan fund, the Maude lones Horner scholarship fund, the Hopkins fund, and the National Philanthropic fund. The object of the fraternity is the intensifying of friendship, the fostering of the spirit of love, the creating of such sentiments, and the performing of such deeds, and the molding of such opinions as will be conducive to building a nobler and purer womanhood. Zeta Tau Alpha has 80 active college chapters and is one of the few international DOTTIE SALE, President fmftfxier' fraternities, having an active chapter in Canada. The chapter officers are Dottie Sale, president, Dorothy lones, vice-president, Betty lo Glover, secretary, and Ruby Glenny, treasurer. Zeta Tau Alpha has been very active so- cially and athletically. The social calen- dar began with the Founder's day ban- quet, a Halloween hayrack ride, picnic and dance for the Hell Hounds, a Home- coming buffet dinner, Parents' day dinner, Christmas formal, and a Valentine formal. Zeta Tau Alpha was in charge of the Panhellenic yearbook which is published every fall. Spring initiations and the initiation ban- guet were held early in March. Mrs. L. G. Dooley, second vice-president of Zeta Tau Alpha, was one of the many alumnae who were present. The pledges of Zeta Tau Alpha, instead of their customary dance for the members, gave a hayrack ride. The chapter as a whole contributed one hundred per cent to the Qklahoma A. 6: M. college War Memorial Chapel fund, which was sponsored by Blue Key. lust before the Christmas holidays, Zeta Tau Alpha gave its annual party for the children of the ZTA alumnae, at which the house boys presided as Santa Claus.

Settle, N. Reeding, M. Whillock, B. I. Webb The Women's Panhellenic Council is comprised of the president and one dele- gate from each of the seven National Pan- hellenic Womens fraternities on the Okla- homa A. ci M. campus, and works directly with the dean of Women. The purpose of the organization is: To maintain on a high plane fraternity life and interfraternity re- lationships and to cooperate with the col- lege authorities in their effort to maintain high social and scholastic standards throughout the whole college and frater- nity World. Panhellenic sponsors seven projects dur- ing the school year. This year Chi Omega sponsored Iunior Panhellenic Council, a panhellenic training program for pledges. This organization, similar to the Panhel- lenic Council, is composed of the pledge president, a regular delegate, and an alter- nating delegate of each of the seven Na- tional Panhellenic fraternities on the cam- pus. Pi Beta Phi was responsible for the Pan- hellenic Workshop. This was designed to take the place of the annual panhellenic regional conventions. Page 129 One hundred and thirty-one dollars and eighty-six cents was collected from various campus organizations for the Panhellenic Christmas contribution to the Stillwater Mis- sions. This money was used for drugs and medicines for the underprivileged. Kappa Alpha Theta was in charge of this project. Alpha Delta Pi sponsored the annual Panhellenic dance this year. Proceeds of the dance were given to the campus War Memorial Fund. Other projects under Panhellenic's serv- ice p r o g r a m , and their spon- Pfesidem IANE COFFEE sors, are as fol- lows: Spring re- ception, Kappa Delta, rush book- lets, Delta Zetag P a n h e l le n i c yearbook, Zeta Tau Alphag and the altruistic pro- gram, I u n i o r Panhellenic.

Composed of the president and one representative from the pledge class of each of the seven na- tional sororities on the campus, the group is patterned after and works directly with Senior Panhellenic. The purpose of the lunior Panhellenic is to study the Panhellenic constitution and to prepare pledges for future work as mem- bers in the Senior Panhellenic council. The newly formed group also works to bring about close co- operation a n d f e l l o w s h i p a m o n g t h e pledge classes of the sororities.

RESIDENCE l-IALLS VICTCRY HALL NC. 1 Due to the wartime shortage of men and housing facilities, Beta Theta Pi became inac- tive in 1942 and, along with the remainder of the fraternity houses, became a victory hall. Prom May, 1942, until it was taken over by the men in the fall of 1945, women students re- sided in the house. At this time 44 eager males once more inhabited the house, much to the delight of the housemother, Mrs. O. N. Smith. Mother Smith has been on the campus for five years, two of these with Beta Theta Pi, two with the girls at Victory l-lall 2, and now back to her Beta house, where she will continue to be Mother after the fraternity men move into their houses. ln the group of students now living at the house, there are 16 veterans who have seen practically every major battle from Germany to the Philippines and won their share of glory for themselves and the country for which they fought. The rest of the group of 44 is made up of regularly enrolled students who were either in essential industry or were too young for the draft. Of this collection, five are football men, eight are going out for track, seven playing basketball, four wrestlers, and, to add balance to the roster, two bandsmen, a reporter of the O'Collegian , and three boys are members of the symphonic choir. Two open houses were held this year, which were presided over by Mother Smith and were deemed successful by all who attended. Row l: C. Bryson, G. Walker, R. Ashworth, G. Ogden, 1. Ross, C. Dean, P.

During the war the fraternity houses were used to house the women students on the A. ci M. campus, since the navy had leased the dorms for its war needs. The women moved out of the fraternity houses in the fall of l945 and the houses were made available to the returning men students, since the fraternities were not active on the campus. The houses were given the name Victory halls, and each was given a number. Vic- tory Hall ll has as its housemother, Mrs. Clare Williams. She has ably assisted the boys in all their problems, and has been especially efficient as hostess for their social functions. The officers elected to carry out the business and activities of Victory Hall ll are as follows: President, Douglas Chandler, vice-president, Dennis Ralph, secretary-treasurer, Lawrence Wilson, and publicity manager, Virgil Poulter. Victory Hall ll has been active socially this past year. Two hayrack rides were held, one in the fall, and one in the spring. A skirt-and-sweater dance was held this spring, with members and their dates attending. Among the active members of the house are Hal Hazelrigg and S. M. Hart, members of Blue Key, honorary fraternity on the campus. Row 1: B. Sherman, F. Arkison, G. Robinson, I. Cox, B. Garrett, G. Pogue, P. Herrin Row 2: Mrs. Williams, R. Galloway, D. Ralph, L.

During the previous two years, it was one of the fraternity buildings used to house women students on the campus. With the close of the war, however, these houses were opened to the returning men students. Many of the outstanding Aggie athletes lived in V-3 during the year. Among them was Weldon Kern, basketball player named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities . The social lite at the victory hall was anything but nil with open house being each Friday night tor the boys to entertain their dates. The housemother, Mom Hazel Hollings- worth, gave several hamburger teeds and arranged two parties for her boys during the year. Cfiicers of the house were Bill Parker, president, Henry Tankersley, vice-presidentp Eddie Iarvis, secretary-treasurer, Orville Macintube, social chairman, and Walter Ma- hanay, sergeant-at-arms.

During the War the fraternities housed the Women students on the campus, and since the fraternities were still inactive in l945, the houses were opened to all men students, Whether independent or fraternity. Victory Hall 5, as the Sigma Nu house is called, was selected as the home for the foot- ball boys for the fall term. Among the outstanding football boys were Bob Fenimore, all- American, Neill Armstrong, honorable mention, and Nate Watson, captain of the team. Watson, president of the O club, along with lim Keith, was named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities . Harvey Griffin was elected Prince Charming at the Sadie Hawkins spring dance. Officers of the hall were lim Keith, president, Nate Watson, secretary-treasurer, Neill Armstrong, vice-president, Bob DeMoss, social chairman, and Clarence Tulley, sergeant- at-arms. Mrs. Elnore Cfassaway, hostess for Victory 5, has been very helpful to the boys. She returned to Hanner hall when it was re-opened in the spring, and Mrs. Nelson then became housemother at Victory 5. Among the social events participated in by the boys of Victory hall 5, one of the most outstanding was their Christmas dance, with appropriate decorations for the occasion. N. Armstrong, l.

Fi- nally, the last echoes of femin- ine chatter and screams h a v e faded into the past. At last, males now live in their own world. Two years of women inhabitants have failed to faze the mag- nificent structure which was built to house the stronger sex. Now, even though it is referred to as V-4, the feeling of fellowship and deep respect, the ideals and principles on which the foundations were laid, are seeping into the lives of all those who are fortunate enough to live there. House unity and comrade- ship are strongly stressed. Typical even- ings around the piano with the usual amount of bad harmony and friendly horseplay, fellows buried in books in an attempt to study, bridge and pinochle in the sun room, unusually serious discus- sions in the living room in muffled, sub- dued tones-always concerning the latest BILL BELKNAP, President - JNQE4 l' 5 ,uf V fx N 4 girl or social event. All these combine to lend a hand in the re-creation of a home- like atmosphere which pervades through- out the entire house. The great amount of aid and assistance which we all receive from our own Mom Woods is immeasurable. She, and she alone, can and does add the final measure of good will and loving care to our house. She dotes on each and every one of us, seeing to our needs, serving as a mother to turn to in our little troubles, constantly watching over us with all the loving kind- ness and care of our own mothers. V-4 considers itself the most blessed of any house on the campus with such a house mother. Victory l-lall 4 has progressed rapidly in campus popularity under the capable guiding hand of its president, Sam Stone. Dean Tyler, the secretary and treasurer, has done a highly commendable job of money-handling, and even still there is a slight amount of cringing and digging for hidden caches of money when he ap- proaches. Every time a house meeting is called, the more financially embarrassed in the house usually find the first open win- dow and dive through it. But all is in fun and horseplay, he says, barring the win- dows, locking the doors, and spreading bear traps copiously throughout the house. Page 136 - 1 i Q if - ' -'-' tfklf' Whether it's art, hitting the sack or gabbing, it all goes to make up life in a V-hall. Social activities have taken a minor role in the house, as most of the occupants are freshmen and grades must be made. Only a few parties have loeen given, lout with a tremendous success. Second semester, Bill Belknap was elected president of the house. Now, with the war over and with many of the rightful owners of the house returning, a feeling of sadness creeps into the lives of the V-4-iters. For with the glorious reopening of all fraternities, the house must be returned to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter. With deep regrets for losing the house, but with thanlcfulness for the privilege of loeing a part of it, we return it with the very best of wishes for an even more successful future than in the past, to Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Having re- ceived our room assignments in Victory Hall 6, we asked the campus policeman for direc- tions and after hours of aimless wandering we arrived at 240 Hester Street and the house formerly occupied by the Kappa Sigma fraternity. We were warmly greeted by our gra- cious hostess, Mrs. Iulia Marshall, whom we now call Mother . She has certainly helped in making us feel at home. Our group consisted of seven veterans, two upperclassmen and twenty-three freshmen. The second week of school the house elected officers and began to function as an organization. For recreation, when the members could be coerced from their studies, they played football in the back yard, with the Kappa Deltas for a cheering section. The first social sponsored by the group was the outing at Fair park, followed by an informal dance at the house. Our dates and guests surely enjoyed the log fireplace at the end of our spacious living room. Good care was taken of the returning alumni and the parents of the boys in the house during Homecoming. Refreshments were served after the game. Climaxing the events of the first semester was the Christmas party for the men in the house and Mother Marshall. There was an abundance of good things to eat, a small gift and appropriate poem for each of the men. Row 1: H. Latham, L. Godley, l. Mathers, N. Boyd, C. Buffington, B. Conn, G. Nobles, G.

Being the isolationist type, the 20 boys of Victory Hall 8 will remember their stag Christmas party as the main event of the year. Aside from the fights in the showers, brawls in the halls, unwelcome visits during study hours, and the hoarse proctor, life in V-8 was private and homey.

College campus moved from Murray hall, the last of the dormitories to be released to the navy, in lune, 1943, to live in ll of the men's fraternity houses called victory halls. A Grand Council headed by the three girls who were elected as the Murray hall officers for 1943-l944 and composed of three elected officers from each victory hall was organized to head the V-halls. ln the spring of l945, an elec- f tion was held and the following l officers were elected for the school year l945-l946: Presi- dent, Margaret Bennett, vice- president, L o u i Z o n Killings- worth, secretary, Betty Clifton. During the summer of l945, plans were made for the girls to occupy Murray, North Murray, and Willard halls. lt was de- cided that a Grand Council would continue to function as it had in the past. Each dormitory organized as it did before the time of victory halls, with three officers-at-large and a floor president for each floor. These officers, with the three Grand Council officers, formed the Grand Council. This council met once a month to dis- cuss campus activities.

Amidst a barrage of l946 BEDSKIN prop- aganda posters and banners, students at Oklahoma A. and M. enrolled for the first semester. The BEDSKIN is a student publication ana is the official yearbook of Qklahoma A. and M. college. But, so much for statistics and history- The staff came to workC?D in the newly re- decorated BEDSIGN office, beginning about the first week of September, some came in November, some in lanuary, some to have themselves included in the staff picture- and there were some staff members that never even found the office. A REDSKIN ln the beginning, the staff was repre- sentative of the campus, being fairly well divided between the Greeks and Inde- pendents , but come second semester Cwhen the fraternities reorganizedl, the Greeks got greedy and pledged prac- tically all staff members that weren't al- ready Greek . But despite this calamity the l946 BEDSlilN staff rolled lazily on. lane Kelly aided the editor and the book by serving as student business manager. Many are the students she thrilled when she phoned them and dunned them for the money for their organization space. lack Boyd and Bill Seikel pounded the adver- tising beats both in Stillwater and out-of- town. The financial indebtedness of the l946 BEDSKIN is due to the padded ex- pense accounts of the firm of Boyd and Seikel. Bob Pilkington served as promo- tion and sales manager. Levita Kiker thrilled the business staff with her presence as business secretary. l-lowever, she served well on the editorial staff.

Georgiana Robinson was one of the staff members that really helped out. When she wasn't working, she amused herself by throwing books at Aggievator ad-man, Gene Allen. Over in another corner, we see Nanci Staines complaining to Stewart about the fact that more campus snapshots of Pifis have been taken than of ADPis. Betty Beckham is sorting pictures of the beauties over on the editor's desk now. Shefs getting them ready to mail to beauty judge john Robert Powers. Ring-ring-there's the phone and it's Rosemary Wright calling from her Murray hall office. She just called up to inform us that she finally succeeded in twisting the arms of all the deans with proper suffici- ency such that the schools copy would be in. Margaret Talbot was editorial sec- retary as far as the Board of Publications knew, but she surprised them and worked on the business staff also. The razz section of the l94B REDSKTN re- sulted in the appearance of a magazine, Uh-Huh , written by staff and non-staff members and for safety's sake, no credit is given for those writers. Marvin Whisman came up to the office , Page Q f of the Aggie- vator staff sneaked in REDSKIN staff up for their picture. all the time-but to loaf or to type out con- tracts for the Varsitonians, Dale Hampton and Charles Garst came up to listen to the radio and occasionally did a bit of typing. john Martin joined the staff shortly after Thanksgiving. We thought that since he was up here all the time that he might as well be doing some good. Several others that made up the largest REDSKIN staff in many years were Edwina Grant, Teni Goode, Preston lack Cook, l-lelen Simons, Norvetta White, Lew Cain, and Noma Nicky Emerson.

The O'Collegian broke its semi-weekly bounds the last two months this year and was published three times a week-a step toward the daily paper next year. The newspaper is put out entirely by stu- dents, with the exception of Elmer Wood- son, who is our advisor, and our old friend Smitty , back shop foreman. To say that The O'Collegian office happenings are a replica of movie ver- sions of newspaper life is not-in a way- true. Cn the other hand, there have been times when the routine of putting out the paper was broken. There were the acrid letters to the editor, the Extra about Fenimore when he was classified l-A, our Exclusive stories, the stands against Cowpokes , and unfair gueen elections. A banquet was given for the staff in May by the board of publications to throw bless- ings on those who worked on the staff for one full year. l-lonorees included the top staff members and Lloyd Murphy, Alice Lorraine l-leard, Wandalee l-linkle, Mildred Norris, loy Es- tes and Beverly Walsh. All students who worked on the paper at some time during the year were invited. Shirley Angle, editor, Mary Wilbanks, assistant editor, Barbara Schott, society ed- itor, Weldon Kern, sports editor, Mar- guetta Griswold, first semester advertising manager, Lola Word, second semester ad- vertising manager, and Leigh Sullivan, ad- vertising solicitor, got the chance to lohn Doe the payroll each month. The O'Colly staff waits for the AP flashes that never Page 158 The other students worked free gratis- just for the love of writing, they said. Many students' names appeared and disap- peared from the staff list, with the editor's attempt to retain only those who had the great amount of time between classes re- quired of a good reporter. No class credit was given for the work. I Throughout the year, weekly staff meet- ings were held. During this 45-minute ses- sion, the paper was cussed and discussed openly. News coverage and writing tech- nigue were talked about from the angle of improving the newspaper. Once a month two cash prizes were awarded to non-paid staff members-one for the best feature story, given by Angle, and one for the best coverage for the month, given by Woodson. ln an effort to better cover all campus news, the college was divided into sections, with each reporter assigned to specific de- partments. Identity of the writer of the gossip col- umn, My Day and Night , was kept se- cret. Lowell Harris, lim Critchfield, Mary l-lolten and George Boland took turns au- thoring it. Main reporters of the year were Norris, Page 159 A stir at the social editor's l-linkle, Heard, Murphy, l-lolten, Critchfield, Estes, Walsh, lanet Walker, Dick Beavis, Bosie Blackwood, Mary Crahan, Martin Cannon, Pete Taylor, Mildred Sample, Betty Brehm, and Gloria Wilson. Others who banged out stories were Waleta Stone, Bob Keegan, Ian Gosnell, Mary lo Botkin, Harris, Boland, Anita Bie- berdorf, Bill Love, China Drummond, Larry Bailey, lane Csterhout, Steve Stephens, David Smith, Eddie Ball, and Arthur Ste- phens. The proof reader's job was held at vari- ous times by Barbara Schott, Lowell Harf ris, and Bosie Blackwood. Mary Wilbanks has her day as editor. f fi y it A W J ' -ffl K I AGGIEVATOR Continuing with its Wartime publishing schedule of four issues a year, the l945-46 Aggievator maintained a policy of giv- ing to its readers the latest in campus events and placed emphasis on life in Ag- gieland by dedicating its pages to the Freshman Guide, Christmas, Sadie Haw- kins and Spring Elections. Reflecting the end of the war, the maga- zine found itself, as did many industries, back under the predominant supervision of members of the male sex. Under the supervision of Lowell l-larris, editor and manager, the Aggievator met with its changes in staff and continued to keep its place as the campus reporter of humor, gossip and the latest Aggie car- tooning talent. Together with contributors, the editorial staff-lohn Martin, lean Alexander, lim Critchfield, and Nanci Staines-presented satire in each of the issues of the magazine. lim Critchfield ably reported the gossip. l-lal l-lazelrigg, active in art work on the various student publications before his en- try into the army, Was unofficial art editor and contributed many of the stories ap- pearing in the magazine. His chief con- tributor was Al Stone. The aggravatir agitators of the Aggievator. Advertising was handled by Gene Al- len, Don Reynolds and Lloyd Godley. Working for the first time on a college pub- lication, the trio proved to be capable in maintaining the standards set up in previ- ous years in quality and quantity of Work. Secretarial Work on the Aggievator was the duty of Margaret Talbot. A great deal of the credit for a success- ful year of publication goes to E. L. Wood- son, manager of the student publications, for his advice and guidance. The magazine finished the year with a financial status differing greatly from pre- vious magazines-With a surplus. You'd think that Harris enjoyed his work. Page 168 PBESS CLUB HAL HAZELRIGG, President lnactive since the spring of l943 and the mass exit of the greater part of its members, the Press club, with one old member on the campus, reorganized shortly before the end of the first semester. Weldon Kern was the old member, while Hal l-lazelrigg, lohn Martin, Lowell Harris, Paul Stewart and Larry Bailey helped with the reorgani- zation. Elected as president for the year was l-lal l-lazelrigg, with Weldon Kern as vice- president, and lohn Martin as secretary- treasurer. The faculty advisors and spon- sors are Professor C. E. Trout, head of the department of journalism, and C. E. Bounds. The writing of a new constitution, pat- terned after the constitution of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism fraternity, was the first step in reorganization. This was in anticipation of petitioning the national fra- ternity in the near future. The purpose of the organization is recog- nition of outstanding male students in jour- nalism or who are active in journalistic af- fairs. lts membership is restricted to male students of junior standing or higher. The membership of the organization is limited to l5 active members. Activities this year have been limited be- cause of eligible prospects for membership, but professional meetings at which differ- ent phases of journalism have been dis- cussed by outstanding journalists over the state have been held. Plans for next year include continuation of the professional meetings and sponsor- ship of the Varsity Revue, which has been sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi, women's journalism fraternity, during the war years. Paul Stewart was the editor of the BED- SKTN, Lowell l-larris was editor of the Ag- gievator , lohn Martin was assistant edi- tor of the Aggievator and l-lazelrigg was art editor of the Aggievator .

Page 161 Tl-IETA SlClVlA Plrll An outgrowth of the old Fourth Estate club, the Alpha Chi Chapter was installed at A. ci M. in l942. The new chapter was the work of l7 young women journalists on the campus, with vision and ambition not only for their own careers, but toward fur- thering the interest of all women in the field. A Theta Sigma Phi must be a junior or senior enrolled in professional journalism. She must have a grade average of B in journalism and a C average in other courses before she is admitted to member- ship. An annual activity of Theta Sigma Phi is the freshman reception, given every fall to acquaint freshman women in journalism with their work and with the department. The all-school Varsity Bevue was spon- sored by the organization for the third con- secutive year, part of the proceeds going to Theta Sigma Phi's fund for financial aid to needy women journalists. The officers in this organization for the past year are president, Alice Holton: vice- president, Shirley Angleg secretary-treas urer, Carol Lahmany keeper of the archives, Beth Craig.

Each year Theta Sigma Phi gives an award to the outstanding freshman woman student in journalism. lncluded in the basis for the selection of the honoree are scholarship, leadership, and character, along with being the coed whose work dur- ing the current year has helped most in the furtherance of campus publications. PRESIDENT ALICE HOLTON Page 162 BCARD CF PUBLICATICNS PM. Trout and Woodson balance the books. The direct supervision of Oklahoma A. ci M. colleges three major student publica- tions- The C'Collegian , BEDSKIN and Aggievator -is the responsibility of the Board of Student Publications. . The publications board, one of the oldest student groups on the campus, is com- prised of four student and four faculty members. Two student members, of junior classification in college, are elected to the board each spring to replace the two grad- uating seniors. Student members forthe l945-46 school year were Iacgueline Barker, Louiezon Killingsworth, Betsy Chapman and La Verne Stephens. Faculty representatives -all of whom have served on the board for several years-are Prof. Clement E. Trout, Dean C. H. McElroy, Prof. B. B. Thompson and Prof. George I-l. White. Trout, head of the college publications department, is chairman of the board, and Elmer Woodson, general manager and faculty advisor of student publications, is secretary. ln addition to the editorial and business supervision of the student newspaper, yearbook and humor magazine, the Board of Student Publications also has the duty of selecting the editors of each of the three publications. An additional responsibility of the board is the O'Collegian printing plant, owned by The C'Collegian Publishing Co., a non- profit corporation chartered under the laws of the state of Oklahoma, with the entire student body as stockholders. The cor- poration is under the directors of the cor- poration, who delegate operation of the printing plant to the Board of Student Publications.

College Magazine , offi- cial publication of the Former Students association, first appeared in September, l929. For the past several years the maga- zine has been printed nine times per year, recording outstanding events and devel- opments at the college and giving current news about alumni and former students. Alumni and former students are enabled to keep pace with their alma mater, col- lege associates, and classmates through the medium of the magazine. lt serves as an indispensable means of contact be- tween the college and its graduates and provides a valuable record of institutional progress. lt furnishes the most effective and practical method of disseminating personal news. lt is difficult to realize how quickly one loses contact with his alma mater and his college friends after graduation, unless he has some way of hearing from them regu- larly. One cannot carry on a direct cor- respondence with many, and few have the opportunity to visit the campus often. The alumni and college news magazine there- fore is the answer to the prayers of the alumni, in fact, it is the answer that they have made for themselves. Upon graduation, seniors whose ad- lane ' Ami: F-me Warsa1'. Y.. ginia Flllliday A. C.

Among features of special interest to graduating classes each year is the class write-up pub- lished in the November and December is- sues, the marriage and birth announce- ment column, the panel of pictures of young sons and daughters of A. of M. alumni, and the sports summary each month. ln all, an effort is made to make the magazine read like a letter from home to alumni, covering phases of alumni and college activities that will be of interest to those who have attended A. of M.

Alpha Pi Mu stresses the ideal of service to humanity by those in this highly technical field through untiring and unceasing personal work and research. lts membership consists of those who are the medical technologists, doc- tors, dentists and nurses of tomorrow. As prerequisites to membership, one must be enrolled in one of the pre-medical courses, must have a grade point average of 2.5 or above, must have had at least one semester of college, and must be approved by a majority of those who are already members. The year's program consists of a series of lectures on technical medical topics by men specialized in several fields related to medicine. Each year an educational trip is made by all members to the school of medicine in Oklahoma City, and annually it offers an award to the freshman pre-medical student with the highest grade average. Dr. Sylvan B. Wood, of the chemistry department, is a member of Alpha Pi Mu, and Dr. l-larry W. Orr, of the bacteriology and physiology department, is the sponsor of this fraternity. The officers this year are: President, Pat Arnold White, vice-president, Mary lane Waldron, secretary, Doris lean Townsell, treasurer, leannette Bunch, pledge mistress, Donna Mae Kirk, and social chairman, Lorine Loop. With its ideals of humanitarian service, its purpose of medical brother- hood and its encouragement of medical knowledge, Alpha Pi Mu plays an important part in the college life of each pre-medical student. The women are now carrying on the purposes of the organization of pre- medical students who are now in the service. An activity which was launched last year is publication of a bi-annual Newsletter which contains news of, and is sent to all present and former members. Row lf D. Kirk, I, Bunch, P.

Faced with a specific problem of service to his own college, Major Biley selected a group of student leaders to help him solve that problem and make homecom- ing day a success on that campus. Later, the achievements of these men led the major to organize that original group of men into a permanent society. From that almost accidental-and yet somehow inevitable-beginning, Blue Key honor fraternity has grown into a national organization with 74 col- legiate chapters distributed throughout the United States. Since its foundation, the fraternity has not lost sight of the vision of service held by its founder. Blue Key had its beginning on the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechani- cal college campus on May l8, l932, when the local chapter was installed with l2 charter members. Neighboring chapters are located at Oklahoma City university, Southeastern State college, University of Wichita, Kansas State college, and the University of Arkansas. Civic service is the central aim of Blue Key, and is symbolized by the oath each member takes when he is initiated into the organization. Leadership is recognized as the principal prerequisite for membership. Blue Key members are prominent leaders in the student association on the A. of M. campus, active in specialized professional honorary societies in de- partments throughout the institution, and rank high in shcolastic leadership. Emerging from the war period intact and with hope for the future of Okla- homa A. QS M., Blue Key members are looking forward to a new era in the growth and progress of the school. ln doing its part in bringing this growth about, the local chapter, working with the college presidents office, spon- sored a campus drive to raise funds for the construction of a War Memorial Chapel on the Oklahoma A. 6: M. campus. Included with its program for the year was the resumption of traditional activities such as the Blue Key carnival and formal spring dinner dance, which were discontinued during the war. t KAPPA DELTA Pl Kappa Delta Pi, an honor society in education, was first incorporated as an honorary education fraternity at the University of lllinois on Iune 8, 1911. There are at present 125 chapters in the colleges and universities of the United States, with a membership of nearly 50,000 men and women. The purpose of Kappa Delta Pi is to promote high intellectual and schol- astic standards in the field of teacher education, and to recognize outstanding contributions to education. lt endeavors to maintain a high degree of pro- fessional growth by honoring achievement in educational work. lt numbers among its membership the outstanding men and women in the teaching pro- fessions in the United States. Kappa Delta Pi standards are high. Not only must a student have a high scholastic ranking, but he must possess high qualities of character, person- ality, and leadership. Eligible students must have completed or have in process of completion at least 12 semester hours of professional courses in education 7 and they must plan to engage in the teaching profession. Lambda chapter holds several social meetings during the year as well as business meetings. Officers this year included: Dean Conger as president, Marcelyn Matthews as vice-president, Doris Andrews as secretary, leanne Starr as historian-reporter, Vera lones as treasurer first semester, Dr. Edward Robinson as treasurer second semester, and Miss Kathrine Long as councilor. The freguent meetings of the fraternity serve to bind its members more closely in fellowship, and to give them opportunities for mutual help and inspiration. Local membership of Kappa Delta Pi is composed of both students and faculty personages. Elledge, Matthews, Y r riedemann :AN CONGER President Page 168 K 'V B mi?

Scroggs in the year l9l9. Since that time, the fraternity has grown into a national organization that boasts 45 chapters on its rolls. Due to war- time conditions, only a few of these chapters were active during the past few years, but the returning veterans to the campuses throughout the nation acti- vated many of the chapters by the spring semester of l946. The purpose of the organization is to give special recognition to outstand- ing members of the college bands, and to promote better brotherhood among bandsmen. lt is also the aim of the fraternity to provide a program for its members so that they will be better prepared musically, whether their special work be music or not. Since l939 the national executive secretary's office has been located on the Oklahoma A. ci M. campus with one of Alpha chapter's charter members, A. Frank Martin, as executive secretary. Also, since l939, the Oklahoma A. CS M. campus has been designated as the national shrine of the fraternity. Much of the success, careful planning, and guiding of the fraternity must be attributed to Dr. Boh Makovsky, who was for 28 years director of the A. ci M. band and head of the department of music. l-le is now serving as chairman of the board of trustees of the fraternity, and is head emeritus of the depart- ment of music. A third national officer of Kappa Kappa Psi on the campus, who has been instrumental in the success of both the local chapter and the fraternity as a national organization, is Max Mitchell, present director of the A. or M. band, who is grand second vice-president. Alpha chapter started the l945-46 school year with seven former members -Marvin Whisman, lohn l-laning, I. D. Keeling, David Cross, Keith McPheet- ers, Dale Hampton, and Louis Patterson. Members pledged the first semester included Don Reynolds, Gene Allen, Bob Fox, George Weldon, lim Critchfield, Lloyd Godley, Richard Vandewalker, Dennis Ralph, and Bill Thompson. 'W 4 MCBTAB BCABD Membership in Mortar Board is the highest status attainable to a senior woman on any campus. This honor is based on scholarship, leadership, and service on completion of five-eighths of the college curriculum. Each spring Mortar Board chooses worthy girls from the junior class to carry on its ideals for the coming year. Mortar Board strives to provide for the cooperation between societies, to promote college loyalty, to advance the spirit of service and fellowship among university women, to maintain a high standard of scholarship, to recognize and encourage leadership, to stimulate and develop a finer type of college woman. This national senior women's honor society was first organized as Acha- foa in l93U. A dream of lO years was realized, on November 16, l94O, when this local organization became a member of Mortar Board, the national body which ranks highest as a woman's honor group. Mortar Board has many projects and activities. lts service program in- cludes the sponsorship of Orange Quill, freshman women's scholarship group requiring a 3.5 grade average, and Grange and Black Quill, sophomore women's scholarship, leadership, and service group requiring a 3-point grade average. Each fall a Newsletter is sent to each alumna telling all about the ac- tivities of the active members, and introducing each new member. ln this letter is included an invitation to the annual homecoming breakfast for alum- nae. The new members are very interested in meeting former members and discussing Mortar Board's various activities with them. Carolyn Holman has led Mortar Board this year as president with a great deal of success. Assisting her were Doris Waldby, as secretary, and Bita Huff, as treasurer. The faculty members who have ably assisted and advised the Achafoa chapter this past year are Miss Valerie Colvin, Miss Bess Allen, Miss White, and Dean Stout. Row l: E. Uerkvitz, M. Bennett, C.

The only other chapter in Oklahoma is Psi chapter established in April, 1920, at the University of Oklahoma. The pur- pose of the organization is to recognize and promote scholarship, leadership, and research in the field of home economics. Qualifications for membership require that the student must be a junior or senior in the school of l-lome Eco- nomics. The membership is chosen on the basis of scholarship and leader- ship from the upper one-fourth of the senior class and the upper one-fifth of the junior class. Omicron is the first letter of the Greek word Oikon meaning a house. Nu is the first letter of the Greek work Nernein meaning to manage. The literal translation of Omicron Nu then is to manage a house. The full signifi- cance of the name is that of home economics. The official badge of the society is a key made of the two Greek letters Omicron and Nu, signifying member- ship in an organization maintaining honor standards. The outstanding activities carried on by the organization this year were fall and spring initiations, an honorary party for freshmen, and the annual Christmas party. During the semester Omicron Nu awarded a scholarship award for the most outstanding freshman girl, and also conducted a silver exhibit and survey for senior students. Mrs. Ledbetter, who received her M. S. from Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college, professor in household arts, is the organization sponsor. Active members are: Maxine Darden Farrell, Catherine Littell, Grace Finley, Mary M. Kimsey, Miriam Oliver, Carolyn Holman, Othella Acord, 1-lelen White, Mary K. Smith, Georgia Kitch, Geneva Cavener, loan Wood, Stella Scheirman, Margaret Bennett, l-lelen Eifert, Margaret Bieberdorf, Dorothy l-1. Adams, Adaline M. Ledbetter. Among our membership here on A. CS M. campus are many of the Home Economics faculty women who were active members of Omicron Nu. 1 l 'V 4 OBANOE 81 BLACK OUILL Having as its chief aim the promotion of leadership and scholarship among college women, Orange and Black Ouill is an honorary organization for sophomore women. Beguirements for membership are a scholastic aver- age eguivalent to B and membership in campus organizations.

Orange Ouill is the only honor organization for freshman Women on the Oklahoma A. ci M. campus. The organization is sponsored by Mortar Board, senior honor organization, based on scholarship, leadership and service. All college freshman women with a 3.5 grade average are invited to become members of Orange Ouill. Mortar Board chooses these girls from the six under-graduate schools and they are introduced at the honors convocation held each spring. Last year out of a class of approximately 450 freshmen, 39 were chosen for membership in Orange Ouill. Orange Ouill Works with Mortar Board in all of its activities, such as help- ing to make the vegetable corsages which are given at the Sadie Hawkins dance. This year Orange Ouill made a scrapbook of cartoons for a veterans hospital. During the war, Orange Ouill assisted in numerous activities of the Bed Cross. Also, it had a definite program for the selling of War savings stamps. This year, Orange Ouill, in cooperation with Mortar Board and Orange and Black Ouill, sponsored the March of Dimes drive throughout Womens organizations on the campus. Distribution of collection boxes as well as promotion of the drive was participated in by Orange Ouill. The chief aims of Orange Ouill are to promote leadership and scholar- ship among college Women. Attaining membership in Orange Ouill seems in- dicative of ability to attain still greater honors. Officers are Bobbie Amis, president, Erma Lee Denny, secretary-treas- urer, and Gloria Tanner, publicity manager. Members for the school year l945-46 are: Barbara Nicholson, Beth Har- rington, Peggy Hereford, Erma Lee Denny, Bobbie Amis, Gloria Tanner, Nila lean Vaughan, Mary Martin, Mary Elizabeth Porter, Essie Eaye Bay, Bessie Kaye Bay, Mary Anna Williams, Esther Ann Winterfield, lo Ann Mullendore, Mary Lou Clifton, Doris lean Townsell, Pat Hendrick, and Frances Bussell. S OMEGA 'FAU MU Players club, inactive since the beginning of the war, was reinstated on the Oklahoma A. 51 M. campus during the spring term of l945 under the official name of Omega Tau Mu, with charter members drawn from the cast and tech- nical staff of the play, lunior Miss , which was presented as their first pro- duction. Recognizing the need for an agency to foster the dramatic arts on the campus and an organization through which individuals with dramatic talent might find expression, Omega Tau Mu was created by its founders. To make certain that the organization should continue to function through the years to come with the same primary purposes, without interference of political or indi- vidual modification, a constitution, thoroughly indoctrinated with these orig- inal purposes, was prepared and adopted by the society. Membership in the society is limited to students who profess an interest in some particular phase of dramatics including acting, stagecraft, writing, directing and makeup. Prospective members are required to accumulate l2 points based on their work done in dramatics before being admitted. As Players club grows, so will grow the volume of dramatic activities on the campus. Under the increasing membership of peacetime enrollment, new and greater talent is being made available, which should provide an ade- quate basis for the promotion of the dramatic field. Former members of the club that are returning to school are expected to swell that membership to a considerable degree. Included on the program this year were business and social events well enjoyed by the membership. At the present tentative plans are being made for a complete program to be presented next year which will provide a variety of entertainment for the student body. Not only is the presentation of plays being considered, but musical numbers and variety acts are being sought as well. lt is hoped that in this manner a wholesome and interesting program can be made available to the students.

Phi Eta Sigma's requirements are high. A grade point average of 3.5 or better in a first semester schedule of at least l3 hours is necessary for mem- bership. The fraternity's purpose is to stimulate and reward scholarship among freshmen. The officers for this year are Frank Cross, president, Lloyd lones, vice-presidentg lohn Runyon, secretary, Roscoe lones, treasurer, and Walter Florence, historian. Required maintenance of these high standards resulted in greatly de- pleted membership during the war. ln l945 the organization carried on with eight members-smallest group since the chapter was established. A list of Phi Eta Sigmas who traded campus life for military life would be too long to quote here.

Oklahoma Beta chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon was granted a charter and in- stalled on March 8, l939. lt was the 35th of the 45 chapters of the fraternity. Since then it has progressed steadily and has initiated a total of l4O members. To be eligible for membership a student must have completed all mathematics courses through one semester of calculus with high distinction. The student's entire college work to date must have been done with distinction and he must possess desirable social characteristics. Each year Pi Mu Epsilon gives two awards. A free key is awarded to the new member who is most outstanding. The organization also gives an award to the outstanding freshman mathematics student. Normally monthly programs, open to any interested person on the cam- pus, are planned to instruct and interest students in the various phases and uses of mathematics. Programs are by the student members, lectures by members of the mathematics staff, other professors or visitors. Officers for this year were: lohn Runyon, president, Marjory Bisel, vice- presidentg Walter Florence, secretary-treasurer, and lames l-l. Zant, faculty sponsor.

Gladys Swarthout, Myra l-less, Lily Pons, Bose Bampton, and Kirsten Flagsted are among the 343 outstanding artists who have become honorary members of the organization. The fundamental aims of Sigma Alpha lota are to further the develop- ment of music in America, to raise the standards of music education in col- leges, universities, and schools of music, to lend encouragement and assis- tance to American composers, teachers of music, and performers, to give moral as well as material aid to its members, and to cooperate in the progres- sive program of the local chapter and the campus. National projects include the maintenance of Pan's Cottage in the MacDowell colony for creative ar- tists, a loan fund for the use of members, annual awards to talented American composers, and the establishment of headquarters in larger cities. This year delegates from all the chapters in this section of the United States met for a province parley in Oklahoma City. Another national objective is the peace- time continuance of Sigma Alpha lota's victory program. Sigma Alpha lota strives to develop in all her members responsibility and leadership. Members of lota Alpha chapter hold responsible positions in the Symphonic choir, Choral club, and the College orchestra. Membership is governed by musicianship and constitutional requirements. Each year nu- merous musical programs are given, including monthly musicals and a spring concert. A Get-Acguainted Tea is also given by the chapter for new women students in the music department. The year concluded with a Contemporary American Composers program featuring the modern music of today, initia- tion, Honors day, senior recital and the senior farewell. Sigma Alpha lota co- operates wholeheartedly with the college in promoting Allied Arts programs. Wanda King is the president of Sigma Alpha lota, Mary lean Smith, vice- president, Betty Faye Barnes, secretary, and Lorine Loop, treasurer. 4 SICMA TAU Sigma Tau, national honorary engineering fraternity, was founded at the University of Nebraska in 1904. lt has grown rapidly, now having 26 chapters in the leading engineering schools throughout the United States. Sigma chapter was installed at the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college in 1923. g Sigma Tau is the only honorary fraternity on the campus that includes students of all branches of engineering in its membership. The immediate objectives of the fraternity are the recognition of personal attainments-on the part of engineering students, the provision for a working organization for the promotion of the interests of the Engineering school, and the encouragement of fellowship among congenial colleagues in training for the engineering profession. Members, who must scholastically be in the upper one-third of the junior and senior classes, are selected according to their sociability and practicality. The pyramid and rail section, the symbols of the fraternity, symbolize stability and progress. These are proved in the strong alumni chapters and the advancement of its members in the field of engineering. Officers for the l945-46 year were Dick Ford, president, Ludwig lsenberg, vice-president, Roscoe Tones, secretary, George Chamberlain, treasurer, and Paul Stewart, historian. Sigma Tau has risen steadily to a position of unmistakable prominence in campus activity and scholastic leadership. ln its membership are men who have not sacrificed scholastic attainment in carrying out official duties, and who hold important campus positions. The final initiation for the first semester pledges occurred in the private dining room of the College cafeteria. Mr. I. E. Lothers, professor of architec- ture and faculty sponsor of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical col- lege chapter, presented keys to the new members. Row 1: W. Florence, I Runyon, P.

With the return of many of the old students and new freshmen the member- ship is again at about 600. lt is one of the oldest organizations on the campus, having its beginning about l900. Enrollment in the School of Agriculture automatically makes a student a member of Aggie society, and the dues are included in the enrollment fees. The primary purpose of Aggie society is to promote wider acquaintance and better cooperation among the students in the School of Agriculture. lt also gives the students an opportunity to learn to work together and take on the responsibility of governing and administering their personal affairs later in life. The monthly meetings of Aggie society usually include talks by men that are well informed in the field of agriculture. Motion pictures of currently inter- esting topics are presented whenever possible. The big events of the year for Aggie society occur during the spring of the year. One event is the promotion and election of the Aggie Princess, and the other is Aggie day. Aggie day takes place in the early part of the spring, and consists of a big school picnic in the afternoon, followed by the Overall-Apron dance in the evening. The Aggie Princess is elected during the spring some- time before Aggie day, when she is crowned. The picnic is usually held at Yost lake. Lois Blakey is the present proud possessor of the Aggie beauty crown. The Aggie council is the governing body of Aggie society, and is com- AVERY OSWALT President Page 188 HOWELL TAIT Secretary-Treasurer ACCIE SOCIETY posed of the officers of the society and representatives of the following agri- cultural organizations: Aggie-X, Agronomy club, Alpha Zeta, Poultry club, Phi Sigma, Collegiate 4-H, Dairy club, Block and Bridle, Horticulture club, F. P. A., Aggie senator, and Aggie Princess. The main function of the Aggie council is to arrange programs and promote the monthly meetings. These meetings are scheduled for the first Monday in every month. The officers of Aggie society for this year are president, Avery Oswaltg vice-president, Harvey Griffin 5 secretary, Howell Taitg treasurer, Prank Bakery reporter, Hugh Robinson. The Aggie society is one of the oldest organizations on the campus. lt was organized within the School of Agriculture to promote wider acquaint- ance and better cooperation of students pursuing the same line of education. The history of this organization dates back to about l9OU. Aggie society is an organization in the School of Agriculture, which, be- sides promoting education and cooperation, has as an objective to develop a spirit of fellowship among agricultural students. lt brings together the members of the various departmental clubs in an attempt to give guidance to the younger students in developing leadership. Through its many avenues of approach, the Aggie society is able to ex- tend a wonderful opportunity for leadership on the part of students in the School of Agriculture and better acquaint them with the problems confront- ing agriculture during the multifarious problems of today.

BAPTIST STUDENT UNION The Baptist Student Union is the connecting link between the Oklahoma A. 61 M. college campus and the local Baptist church, correlating all the re- ligious activity of Baptist students on the local campus, and of Baptist students throughout the south. Any student who is a member of the local Baptist church or any one of its unit organizations represented on the BSU council is a mem- ber of the Union. The group on the Oklahoma A. CS M. campus claims membership in the state and southwide Student Unions, under the competent guidance of presi- dent Anna lane Koontz. Most important Southwide event is the annual South- wide BSU Betreat at Ridgecrest, North Carolina. The BSU strives to meet the spiritual needs of the students by promoting loin the Church day the first Sunday following the students' arrival on the campus. Supplementing the Sunday church worship and other spiritual ac- tivities, they sponsor Morning Watch in the Baptist Student Center building every week, Monday through Friday mornings, from 7:30 to 7:50. Also spon- sored by the BSU, Monday through Friday evenings, are Evening Vespers, 7:00 to 7:30. High on the calendar of social events was the annual Baptist Student Union convention held at Stillwater this year. Popular with the students are the weekly Saturday evening parties held in the local Baptist church base- ment. Another popular event is the fellowship hour following the Sunday evening services. . The official organ of this organization is the Gleam , capably edited by Betty Badger, and is distributed to all Baptist students at Sunday school on Sunday mornings. The officers of the Baptist Student Union are as follows: president, Owen l. Finley, first vice-president, leanne Wilsong second vice-presidents, Chuck Edwards, Margaret Gardner, and Ernestine Payton, third vice-presidents, Clara Lou Bhodesg secretary, Dorothy lones, treasurer, Phyllis Darnold.

This society was organized eight years ago and has grown into a progressive honorary fraternity. Membership of the society was definitely increased this year due to the increased enrollment. Membership of the first semester was about thirty-five, and the second semester found the membership even more. All students in the school of architecture are eligible for membership. Officers for this year included George Chamberlain as president, Dean Manning, vice-president, Dick Ford, treasurer, Nadine I-leidbreder, secretary. Faculty sponsor for the Beaux Arts Society for the 1945-46 school year was Professor D. E. Stevens, of the department of architecture. The architect's social calendar is not left blank by the society. The Christ- mas party was one that could not be easily forgotten. The freehand drawing room was transformed from a drab classroom to a cozy club-like lounge. Many of the students worked to create the effect. By a cleverly designed imi- tation fireplace, popcorn was popped. Qther refreshments also were served to students and faculty and faculty wives in attendance. Unique gifts were also given each person present. Beaux Arts Society won second place in the Homecoming parade float competition. A picture of the float may be seen elsewhere in the REDSKIN. Members of Beaux Arts receive awards and prizes each year from the Beaux Arts lnstitute of Design in New York. These awards, given to those entering in national competition, are to the outstanding design students. The members of the organization excel in other activities as well as archi- tecture. lnasmuch as the students spend a great deal of time together in seri- ous study in the drafting room, a spirit of fellowship and friendship exists which is not to be found in any other department on the campus. This society has proven its worth in affording the students of architecture an opportunity to contact and keep up with the developments in practical architecture and provides a means of social recreation for the members. ' Cl-ICBAL CLUB Having 2l2 enrolled the first semester, the Women's chorus-sometimes referred to as the Choral club-was the largest it has been since male stu- dents were dropped from the rolls at the beginning of World War ll. The main purpose of this organization is not to give training to merely a select few voices but to allow anyone desiring an opportunity to broaden musical eX- perience and develop a greater appreciation of music by singing in a large choral organization. Under the direction of Mr. L. N. Perkins, the Women's chorus presented its annual Christmas concert in the College auditorium on December ll, l945. The program consisted of old and new Christmas songs, including Angels C'er the Fields Were Flying , an old French carol, Bise Up Shepherd an' Foller , a Negro spiritual with solos by Bernice Dells and Bonnie Wiggins, Christmas Lullaby by Charlotte Warren, with solo by Charles Wilbanlcsg l Wonder as l Wander , an Appalachian carol with the solo by Mary Ann l-lealyg All My Heart This Night Bejoices by Carl F. Mueller, with an echo choir, White Christmas by lrving Berlin, and The Hallelujah Chorus by G. F. I-landel. Miss Nadina Powell was the accompanist for the organization. Other special soloists appearing on the program were as follows: Mary Iean Smith, Mary Margaret Newby, Bunny Lane, and a guartette composed of Bernice Delk, Vera l-liebert, Marie Moore and Beverly Williamson. Members of the faculty appearing on the program were Miss Maurice Turner, who directed C l-loly Night by Adolphe Adam, and Prof. Carl Amt, who played two organ solos, lesus, loy of Man's Desiringn by l. S. Bach and Pastorale from Le Prologue de lesus arranged by Clolqey. The Women's chorus spring concert was received with much ovation. lt consisted of semi-classical numbers such as l Hear Your Voice by Tolchard Evans and a Victor l-lerbert medley directed by Mr. Perkins, with whom it is always a pleasure to work. Virginia Via served as president of the organization for the year. VIRGINIA VIA President Page 192 MB. L. N. PEBKINS Director Page l93 Cl-ICBAL CLUB Pictured in the group on the left are, row l: B.

The Symphonic band, which is the concert organization, reached a perfection under Boh which earned for itself and its director an outstanding reputation among the nation's better college and university bands. Upon Boh's retirement, Max A. Mitchell, who had been an assistant director for several years, became director of the bands. During its history the band has travelled widely over the state. ln 1937 and l938 it represented the state of Oklahoma at the American Royal Live- stock exposition in Kansas City, Missouri. The band also participated in sev- eral national and local broadcasts. Until l938 the band was strictly for boys 5 however, girl music majors were admitted that year. During the War period the number of girls in the band rose at one time to 67 per cent. The Alpha Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, national honorary band frater- nity, and Kappa Psi, local band sorority, thrive in the band. The College band of l945-46 was composed of 80 members, with a good instrumentation for concert Work. During the first semester, the band pre- pared its football activities and its concert for the l4th annual Oklahoma Band clinic. Also during the semester, the band participated in the All-State High School Vocal festival, held on the campus. With the return of so many veterans during the second semester, the quality of the band immediately improved. During the second semester the band presented its regular concerts, appeared at athletic events and read music literature.

Batoneers for l945-46 were Charlotte Shearer, Mary lean Battenfield, lda Mae Adams, lean Smith, Eva Hueston, Pat Beyer, Irene Coffield, and Sara lane Berry. BLCCK AND BRIDLE Block and Bridle is one of the most active clubs on the Oklahoma A. 61 M. campus and was reactivated in the fall semester under the direction of: Hugh Robinson, president, Howard Stratton, vice-presidentg Forest McClain, secre- tarY: lack Davis, treasurerg and Dennis Smith, reporter. The club is under the advisorship of Dr. H. M. Briggs. The local chapter of Block and Bridle was organized in 1920 as the Hoof and Horn club. ln 1922 it was accepted by the National Block and Bridle or- ganization, which was founded in 1919 by members of the livestock judging teams from Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and lowa at the lnternational Live- stock Show in Chicago. Purpose of the Block and Bridle club is to maintain a bond of friendship among students and professors of animal husbandry as well as livestock breeders. The club sponsors judging contests for freshman and sophomore students in agriculture and a judging contest for members and pledges of Block and Bridle. lt also sponsors The Little lnternational Livestock and Horse Show and an annual rodeo in the spring. The proceeds from these two events are used to defray the expenses of the members of the livestock and meats judg- ing team members to the American Boyal and the lnternational Livestock shows at Kansas City and Chicago. The livestock and meats judging teams are consistently high ranking teams in all contests. Before the war, juniors and seniors who were majoring in animal hus- bandry made up the membership of Block and Bridle. Due to the small num- ber of boys in the school of Agriculture since 1942, freshmen and sophomores signifying their desire to become animal husbandry majors have been initi- ated into Block and Bridle. Senior members of the club assist county agents and vocational agricul- ture teachers of the state in the 4-H and l?.F.A. judging contests each year by holding practice judging contests at the college throughout the year. a tm ! +iingwr-M i f . ,. 538 in HOWELL TAIT Vice-President Page 196 MARGARET BIEBERDORF President How l: H.

G M. campus in l9l9. ln l924 it adopted the name Collegiate 4-H club, which it held until 1942 when it assumed its original name of Delta Sigma Alpha. During these 23 years Delta Sigma Alpha has been on our campus the membership has an approximate increase of ten-fold. Although the only requirement for membership is one year of active 4-H club work before entering college, it is interesting to note that a large percentage of our members have had long time records as 4-H club members. The organization is a group of young men and women with a common interest who come together for the following reasons: To give further training in cooperation, fellowship, and leadership 5 to cooperate with county and state workers for a better rural life in this state, to keep in touch with the 4-H club movementg to continue friendships made with 4-H members. The program of the year has been one of varied activities. Several meet- ings were devoted to panel discussions in which various topics of interest were discussed. Other meetings were devoted to discussions of out-of-state trips made by different members of the club. Several times during the year visual education programs were presented. The many social activities have been enjoyed by all. A list of the members includes Helen Eifert, Margaret Bennett, Stelle Marie Morrison, Othella Acord, Betty Rhodes, Ebba lensen, Margaret Bieberdorf, Miriam Oliver, Betty Faye Barnes, Sara Perl Sheets, Gerry Keatly, Martha Nickels, Dorothy Pinkerton, Bob Wayman, Virginia Richmond, Iuanita Floyd, lune Conrad, lean Smith, Hazel Bonham, lrene Kinpley, Doris McClain, Ger- trude Bieberdorf, Josephine Oakes, Bogean Stallings, Carolyn Holman, Bill Strom, Sam Curry, Ioe lohnson, Bob Smith, Genevieve Long, Bow Bowles, Ethel Flechs, Donna Gigoux, Geneva Cavener, Vers Lou Perryman, Bernice Friend, Mary Bice, Helen lo Shotwell, and Lavita Mae Stevens. Mrs. Anna Stringfield has given freely of her time and efforts as the club sponsor. Paul G. Adams is the State 4-H club leader. l , ENGINEERING SCCIETY In fulfilling its primary objectives, namely the promotion of good will among student engineers of Oklahoma A. ci M. college, and immediate atten- tion and action on all matters pertinent tothe Division of Engineering, the Engineering society feels that this has been a very successful year. The En- gineering society is primarily a semi-social organization and was organized around l9U2. Membership of the society is composed of the entire student body of the School of Engineering. Meetings of the society were held on the first Monday of each month. During the first semester the attendance was small, but, due to the large en- rollment, the second semester attendance at meetings swelled enormously. During the year, besides the regular business meetings and social plan- ning meetings, many educational and varied programs were conducted. During one meeting, an interesting lecture on The Commercial Uses of Atomic Energy was given by one who was on the ground floor of atomic research . Other meetings have included educational talks by faculty mem- bers and films on varied subjects. The highlight of the Engineers' social calendar is the annual St. Pat's ball . It was held March l6 in the Cld Gym, with elaborate decorations in green and white-engineering colors. Decorations for the ball were under the direction of lim I-Iajny. He was assisted by the Beaux Art architectural society. St. Pat's chairman for the dance was Walter Florence. Other chair- men for dance committees were Dale I-Iampton, Sherwood Anderson, Roscoe Iones, and Mary Eager. At the St. Pat's ball , Miss Betty Lou Wainscott ended her reign as Engi- neering queen, and Miss Maggie Parks was elected to succeed her. Cfficers for this year were Andy Eoye, president 5 Ludwig Isenberg, vice- president g Maxine Carpenter, secretary g Wtalter Florence, treasurer, and Paul Stewart, publicity. Dr. Clark A. Dunn acted as Engineering society faculty advisor. binet of Engineering Society: Andy Roye, Lud wig Isenberg, Maxine Car ter, Walter Florence l Stewart.

There are no other schools known who offer fire service training in their curriculum. The club was organized to promote the principles and practices of improved fire protection, fire prevention, and fire fighting methods, and was organized in the fall of 1939 by the late Chief l. Ray Pence. The members of this club are active members of the Stillwater Eire department. They gain knowledge and experience through class room discussion, during actual fires, through manipulative drills, and other emergencies that they are called upon to per- form in the line of duty. Highlight of the Piremen's club each semester is Hell 'Week . The initia- tion produces remarkable results in the rookies' ability to learn in precise detail the use, location, and care of all equipment. The members of the l:'iremen's club are particularly proud of their spa- cious living quarters, well kept dormitory, and commodious lounge. A mu- seum of early firefighting equipment and respiration apparatus is highly prized. Asst. Chief Peery, Asst, Chief Davidson, Capt. Courtney, Lt. Weaver, Lt. Boughton tr- Q at . .

CLUB The Home Economics club is an organization of the school of home eco- nomics in which any student regularly enrolled may become a member. The Home Economics club was organized in l9lO. Purposes of the club have re- mained the same, but the themes have changed every year. A different, but thoroughly enjoyable program, was set up for the year l945-46. lt is organ- ized with an executive committee, lU activity chairmen, and faculty advisor and assistant advisor. Chapter meetings are held bimonthly, with appointed hostesses and requested speakers from the faculty and community. Annual activities include the style show, in which A. of M. students act as models, and the Ellen l-l. Richards banquet, which honors one of the most influential founders and promoters of the field of home economics. The l945-46 banquet climaxed the initiation of the first semester pledges. The l9-45-46 theme for the Home Economics club is This Life of Ours , and each program is planned to offer suggestions for better living and enrichments for better lives. The ob- jects of the club are many. lt serves as a bond to hold girls together while in school, providing a broader view of the field of home economics. The club participates in improvements of personal, home, and campus living and activ- ities for achievement, cooperation, and fellowship among the members. The ultimate purpose of the club is to stimulate the idea of home as a girl's natural environment, dignity and respect as her attitude toward life's humble work. The club flower is the Carnation and the club colors are blue and yellow. The first organization in l9lU consisted of nine charter members, but the l945- 46 organization has reached the peak of l9O members. At the beginning of second semester, the Home Economics club sponsors a tea for new students in home economics. At the bimonthly meetings reports are given on new fields in the division of home economics. The activities of the Home Economics club were directed this past year by loan Wood, president. Carolyn l-lolman served as vice-president, Betty Faye Barnes was secretary, and Dorothy Goodman served as treasurer. The club functions under-the able supervision of Dean Talbot. CABINET Bow 1: D.

R in NEWMAN CLUB The Newman club, founded on the Oklahoma A. ci M. campus on March 17, 1932, is an organization of Catholic men and women. The purpose of this group is to encourage cooperative religious activities of Catholic college students and to promote the social life among its members. The Catholic club movement in state colleges and universities, of which the National Newman club is a part, has completed the first half century of its existence. in October of l893, Timothy L. Harrington, with l6 fellow students, met to form a group, which they called the Newman club in memory of the great English cardinal, whose death had occurred three years previously. This was the first Newman club in the United States. The name chosen for this Catholic student club was an appropriate one. lohn Henry Newman was among the first to see the necessity of high spiritual ideals for university students. The ideals which guided Cardinal Newman were truth, sincerity, candor, intellectual honesty, and courage, combined with refined manners and an aversion to vulgarity and coarseness. Once a month the young people of this club receive communion as a group, and then attend a breakfast and business meeting in the Parish hall. A guest speaker is invited from the campus or from out of town to speak at the breakfasts. They also have at least one social activity during the month. ln the fall a hayrack ride was held for the group, and social hours were held on Sundays at the Community hall. E or the first time the club has sponsored a choral club in addition to the church choir. The choral club is under the direction of Miss Kathleen Garrett. Officers of this semester are: Eddie Esparza, president, Martin Cannon, vice-president, and Ann Seidman, secretary-treasurer. The chaplain of the Newman club is Reverend Victor I. Reed, Ph.D., pastor of St. Francis Xavier church of Stillwater. The sponsors from the faculty are Miss Katherine Maroney and Professor l. A. l-loefer. 476 ,,,. '.,.. ...,..7 A - - PAN-AMERN STUDT FCRUM The 50th chapter of the international organization, the Pan-American Stu- dent Forum, was founded on this campus in l93O. The scope of its interest is not confined to the Western hemisphere, it is a Worldwide scope. The imme- diate purpose of this club is to develop an understanding of the people of our hemisphere. To accomplish this we look to the past to discern the elements that have molded these people of today, we then look to the present to observe these people, the product of the past, as they cope with present problems, as they look toward the future, as they aspire. From this View of the past and present is extracted another factor which combines the tangible-such as soil fertility, climate, natural resources-and the intangible-such as the objec- tives, the aspirations of the people. To this factor is given the name poten- tiality. lt is our hope that this placement of the people in their historical, geo- graphical, and sociological framework of yesterday and today will render an understanding, an honest effort to develop the potentialities of these countries, to help each country become a useful, friendly world citizen in a world com- munity. During the school year of l945-46 the forum has made a general study of Latin-America, its geography and history with special studies of individual countries. Many of these special discussions have been given by students who have lived or studied in South America. These reports have been supple- mented by films and slides which help to give a more vivid picture of the sub- jects under study. At one of its bi-Weekly meetings, the Pan-American Student Forum held its annual Christmas party in the Y.W.C.A. rooms. Cn April l4 the members celebrated Pan-American day, a day which was proclaimed by both North and South America in l93l. The able sponsor of the Pan-American Student Forum is Dr. Anna Oursler. Directing the activities of the organization this year are Carol Merrifield, serving as president, Kay I-larrup is the vice-president, and Pat l-leadrick, who had the double-duty job of secretary-treasurer. These officers have given ex- cellent service to the organization during the school year 1945-46. Row lf l. Alexander, M. White, N. Partridge, G. Morton, C. Merrifield, B. Gilbert, B. Ennis, K.

An enthusiastic response on the part of young women of Presbyterian preference in Aggieland expanded the sorority from a group of five to a work- ing organization, in its first year, of approximately 50 coeds whose aim was to promote fellowship and growth in its membership. Starting the year with an invitation tea, Phi Chi Delta pinned the green and gold pledge ribbons of the sorority on 34 girls in October and on March 9 the neophytes were initiated at a Rose dinner, at which time the yellow rose was the central theme. A mission party was the highlight of the Phi Chi Delta year. Members and pledges prepared Christmas gifts and a play program for approximately 30 children at the Stillwater Mission and Santa Claus cheer prevailed during the evening with the youngsters. Christmas boxes were also sent to Still- water families and shortly after mid-term the members attended church together. Activities of all kinds are stressed in Phi Chi Delta as was witnessed by the varied program on the i945-46 calendar. Rev. Clayton S. Valder, Naomi lohn White and Thamazin Hutchins were featured on programs and reviews throughout the year and a Time To Be Gay picnic was held at Fair park in early May. Topping the year off just right, the traditional installation of officers, senior dedication and communion were held at the Presbyterian church in coopera- tion with the deacons and pastor. Une of the most impressive occasions of the year, these ceremonies were adopted at the chapter's inception as a fitting close for each school year. President lo Ann Mullendore, aided by an excellent staff of officers and sponsors, brought Phi Chi Delta to the close of the l945-46 term having estab- lished a firm .position on the campus. , 4 Pl EPSILON ALPHA Pi Epsilon Alpha, interdenominational religious sorority, was founded on the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college campus in l925 by a group of young college women from the South Methodist church who felt the need of a close Christian fellowship. At that time, the membership was lim- ited to girls who were members of the South Methodist church. Since 1940, however, the organization has been open to girls from other churches as well. The ideals of the sorority are expressed by the three virtues, Faith, l-lope, and Love. lt is the aim of the organization to promote a program which will further the development of these virtues in young women. The Bible studies and devotions for the year centered around the lives of the Disciples. Other programs included studies of great missionaries, parlia- mentary procedure, and etiquette. Speakers during the year were Mrs. M. A. Gilbert, Mrs. E. B. Shotwell, Mrs. B. E. Harrison, Mrs. P. S. Donnell, Miss Naomi lohn White, Mrs. T. T. McGuire, Mrs. C. A. Melton, Rev. Kenneth W. Copeland, Dr. Anna L. Oursler, Mrs. Alvin Scollay I-lock, Mrs. l-L W. Orr, and Miss Vesta Etchison. Annual social activities of Pi Epsilon Alpha include the Halloween party given by the pledges, the Christmas party, an entertainment for the honorary members of the sorority, the spring retreat at Yost lake, and the traditional Dixie banquet. Each spring, a newsletter, the Glowing Triad, is mailed to all alumnae informing them of the activities in which the active members have engaged during the year and also news concerning former members. The society, in offering this active program, attempts to help meet the present and future needs of the girls religiously, educationally, and socially. Much credit for the success of the sorority goes to Mrs. C. A. Melton, sorority mother, because of her interest, cooperation, inspiration, and splendid ex- ample at all times. The officers for this year are: President, Doris Waldbyp first vice-president, Margaret Dittmer, second vice-president, Ebba Iensen, secretary, Eleanor Olson, treasurer, Donis Park. R 1: P.

Now in its 25th year of activity on the Oklahoma A. and M. campus, Pi Zeta Kappa has united its efforts toward the bringing of girls of high ideals and standards into closer fellowship with each other, and to further all religious activities connected with student life. Together with its brother organization, Kappa Tau Pi, Pi Zeta Kappa has carried on social service projects throughout the year, joined in social activi- ties and endeavored to bring about a deeper understanding of the true Chris- tian spirit in campus living. Members are selected on the basis of their leadership in church activities, personal integrity, and scholastic standing. Officers for the past year were: Grace Finley, presidentg Mary lean Smith, vice-presidentg Bonnie Nicholson, pledge mistress, loan Wood, treas- urerg Onida Norman, recording secretaryg lo Ann Mullendore, reporterg and Mary Kimsey, inter-church council. To be a member of Pi Zeta Kappa, a girl must attain a certain grade aver- age and be active in some religious work. The character and personality of a girl are also considered before she is admitted to the sorority. There are 30 young women in the A. ci M. college wearing the Pi Zeta Kappa cross of rubies emblazoned on a black, heart-shaped background. These young women meet weekly for closer fellowship with each other and with the Master. They join in social activities and carry out social service projects throughout the year. Three women who are vitally interested in Pi Zeta Kappa and who, when- ever called upon, can give of their time for the benefit of the girls and organi- zation, are chosen as patronesses for the sorority. The sorority is growing rapidly throughout the nation, and will continue to do so because of its wide range of membership. l SYMPHGNIC C1-ICDIR The Symphonic choir had as its predecessor a group organized in 1938 and known as the A. and M. A Cape11a choir. This choir had a membership of 40 voices. 1n 1940 the name was changed to the Symphonic choir. 1n order to en- 1arge the fie1d of musica1 repertoire and to a11ow more voices in the choir, the maximum membership was set at 60 voices. During the period 1939-1940, the choir bought and paid by assessment and proceeds from concerts the beautifui burgundy robes which they now use. The choir continued to function through the war a1though the ma1e sec- tion was somewhat dep1eted. Two major programs were given every year in the Go11ege auditorium, one at Christmas time, which has become a tradi- tion on the campus, and one at Easter. Since its inception, the Symphonic choir has appeared on severa1 pro- grams of the Nationa1 Broadcasting company and on many broadcasts from Gkiahoma stations. For a number of years its programs were broadcast on station KVOO, Tu1sa, and were looked forward to by iovers of music a11 over the southwest. Besides the broadcasts, the choir gave many programs at cities through- out the state of G1c1ahoma. Gne of the most enjoyabie experiences that the choir undergoes is the reading of 1etters that are sent by former members from a11 over the wor1d. This was especia11y true during the war. The conductor of the choir, Mr. 13'au1 Khngstedt, regardiess of his heavy schedu1e, a1ways answers these 1etters and sends his regards to a11 former members. When the choir appeared on a nationa1 broadcast, comp1imentary 1etters were received from a11 over the countrywfrom Massachusetts to Cahfornia. Before the war the choir published a sma11 newspaper, and it is hoped that this sheet can be revived. The director has gained nationa1 recognition for the writing of his book on common sense and voice pedagogue which is used by major voice teach- Moody, D. He-rde Eagle, M. Buck, G. 1 d Row 1: A.

Iean Miller was chosen president, Bose Ella Kirkpatrick went into office as treas- urer-librarian, and Lucille Sneed as secretary-publicity director. Brain-child of its director, Mrs. Eleanor-Iean Carter, Panhellenic choir became a working organization on the Oklahoma A. 6: M. campus in the fall of l944. Inspired by a sheer love of music, the lO girls selected from each sorority agreed to meet one night a week in the Prairie Playhouse, and before long, programs were being scheduled on the campus and in Stillwater churches. Members were: Zeta Tau Alpha, B. Kirkpatrick, C. Sharer, I. Blackburn, W. I-lolt, I. French, B. Britton, B. Briggs, I. Dawson, M. Deering and V. Stallings. Representatives of Pi Beta Phi were L.

' These aims are kept in mind by those planning programs, and those tak- ing part in discussions, debates, or lectures. The Speakers club was organized on the Oklahoma A. ci M. college cam- pus in l936, sponsored by Ioseph C. Weatherby. lt functioned as a major organization on the campus with the members participating in debates, round-table discussions, and out-of-town programs. l-lowever, the Speakers club, like so many other organizations on the campus, became a war casualty. This year, with an increase in enrollment, came a group interested in re- organizing the club. Students responsible for the new Speakers club are: Iack Bobek, Iane Osterhout, Nadine Heidbreder, Iean Adams, Doris Waldby, Charles Mullens, Maxine Farrell, Margaret Stanley, Iune Rankin, Iean King, and Pete Tourtellotte. Members added since the first of this year are Gloria Tanner, Bill Iordan and Ioe Mathers. lnterest in the clubrfirst semester was inadequate, as the object of the organization was not known. All students of A. cSf M. showing genuine interest are eligible for membership. Applications are voted upon by present mem- bers. Returning veterans are adding new life, and the growth of the organ- ization is under way. The club is ably sponsored by Mr. Harry Anderson. The members and pledges take up various types of speech work which include radio speaking, debating, oratory, impromptu, extempore, and after dinner speaking. The membership recognition badge of the organization is a plain gold key with Speakers club slanting across it. The black and gold crest shows a gavel and crossed keys, the traditional speech emblem, which signifies the democratic spirit of cooperation toward other organizations in which members in Speakers club affiliate. 4. TAU GAMMA Because of the growing demand for an organization for young college women living off the campus, Tau Gamma was organized at Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college, first as Townettes, in the fall of 1939. ln the spring of l94l the present organization was formed and the name Tau Gamma was adopted. . Tau Gamma, Beta chapter, is not a national organization. lt has only one sister sorority, that being at the University of lowa. The purposes of Tau Gamma are to give the members a greater opportunity for participation in student government, to create a spirit of fellowship among the college women living off-campus and in private homes, and to create leadership among college women. This year the program of Tau Gamma has consisted of weekly social hours and informative business meetings. Social activities include Thanks- giving and Christmas parties, a hike and picnic, and a breakfast honoring all senior members of Tau Gamma. Tau Gamma has as its motto l would be True , and it is through follow- ing this motto that the organization fulfills its meaning to the member. Presiding over the organization this year were Erma Lee Denny, presi- dentg Betty Iune Bhodes, vice-president, Berneta Brumfield, secretary, and Doris Andrews, treasurer. Through their enthusiastic participation in the activities of the organization, the members of Tau Gamma, along with Mrs. Estelle Hammond, assistant to the dean of women and sponsor of the group, have made Tau Gamma one of the outstanding organizations on the campus. Doris Andrews is an active member of Kappa Delta Pi, Pi Zeta Kappa and Orange and Black Quill. Erma Lee Denny is a member of Kappa Phi and Orange Quill. Euteva Pugh was in the beauty section of the l945 edition of the BEDSKlN and is also in the present edition. ow 1: E. Adkins, M. White, S. DeWitt, B. Rhodes, E. Denny, V. Holliday, B. Brumfield, P.

Mrs. Estelle Hammond ERMA DENNY President Page 212 MARVIN WHISMAN Director-Manager Marvin Whisman with the Varsitonians set up and swinging out with a good number for one of th many collegiate dances this year. Page 213 VARSITONIANS With the ending of the spring semester of l946, Aggieland music follow- ers witnessed also the closing of the llth year on the campus for the Varsi- tonians. Originating at Stillwater back in l934, the band through successive years has never lost sight 'of its main purpose-that of playing the type of dance music that college students want and appreciate. The printed history of the Varsitonians is found to begin in l934-35 when Clemon CPinkyl Norcross headed a group of ll men. lnstrumentation in- cluded three saxes, two trumpets, a bone, tuba, guitar, drums and two pianos. The fellows made several nation wide tours that year. The fall semester of l935 found the Varsitonians back on the campus un- der the direction of trumpeter l-larry lames Knot the l-lorn D. The band used a 10-man instrumentation. Back heading the group during l936-37 semesters was l-larry lames, using a well balanced four-four-three instrumentation. ln l938, Phil Nabors, one of the original ll men of l934, took over the lead- ership of the organization. The band used l2 men and a vocalist, Eileen Ferguson, that year. l94l found l-lal Price fronting the new Varsitonians. Playing guitar that year was Barney Kassel, who is now featured with Artie Shaw. Price gradu- ated at the end of the year and lerry Poole was elected to manage the group the next year. ' lim Blazer was elected president in l943 of a group which was constantly changing due to draft calls. ' l944 saw the only inactive year for the organization, due to difficulties in keeping personnel. The tall of l944 saw the band's reorganization, however, with Marvin Whisman elected president of the group. Whisman returned to the campus this year to again head the band after spending a successful summer with a band at a resort in Missouri. The band during this year used an instrumentation of l2 men until the second semester, when a girl vocalist, Sharon Oliver, was added to the group. l yy l ? l Q' VETERANS AssoctAT1oN Approximately 75 veterans attended a meeting in November, 1944, and formed an organization they called the Collegiate Veterans Organization. A constitutional committee was appointed by the acting president with Lowell Harris as its chairman. lt was this document which stated the pur- poses-to join together men and women who have served their country dur- ing World War ll so that they, by joining together, may uphold the ideals for which they fought. Officers for the first year of its existence were Les Thrasher, president, who later withdrew from school 5 Lowell Harris, vice-presidentg A. C. Askew, secre- taryg Buck Turnbull, treasurerg and Andy Roye, sergeant-at-arms. Their activities for that year included sponsorship of a dance during a year that was without dances and active participation in intramural sports. Where meetings had been held in the Y-Hut during the first year, the Prairie Playhouse was needed the second year. During this year the meet- ings, which were held every two weeks, featured entertainment. Active backing of a campaign to persuade the OPA to place rent ceilings in Stillwater was the outstanding activity of the year. The campaign was successful. The veterans sponsored two dances and held -a smoker for veterans who continued or began their college careers at the beginning of the second semester. lmportant among the business conducted by the organization was the decision to remain an independent organization not to be associated with the two outstanding national veterans groups, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The constitution was re-written by a committee headed by Lowell l-larris. Don McClain was elected to succeed Pete Brown, who withdrew from school, as president. Other officers were Hub lordan, vice-presidentg Lowell l-larris, secretaryg Ed l-larn, treasurerg and lones Ptamsey, sergeant-at-arms.

Organized at the University of illinois in l9l3, the move- ment grew rapidly under the sponsorship of the Methodist church until it is now on the campuses of more than 100 colleges and universities all over the United States. The local chapter of Wesley foundation at Oklahoma Agricul- tural and Mechanical college was established in l926. The program, carried on by a student council and numerous committees, includes a variety of activities, such as the Sunday morning discussions, stu- dent forums and Saturday night social activities in the recreation room of the Methodist church. l-lighlights of this year have been the freshman reception, the youth night dramatic vespers, buffet suppers, the Christmas banquet, the Christmas and spring installation of officers, and the state conference at Norman. The officers of Wesley foundation for the school year l9-45-46 have been Wilma Mae Parsons, president, Barbara Martin, vice-president, Shirley De- Witt, secretaryg and Mable Spurgin, treasurer. Mrs. Dick Ford was acting director of Wesley foundation for the second semester of the year, replacing Miss Ruth Bachelder, who had been serving as director for a number of years. Y. W. C. A. The slogan Never underestimate the power of a woman has had bril- liant success in the advertising world-and with good reason. This is no longer a complete man-ruled world. Women are being recognized and are taking their rightful place as partners with men in shaping the destinies of all human beings. Most American women no longer doubt that they are directly affected by what happens to people in any part of the world. World War ll is a realistic and cruel example. Having shared in the tragedies of an imperfect world, women who never before have felt an obligation outside their own homes, now want a part in building a better society. Such a channel is the Young Women's Christian association-an organ- ization of, by and for women-with 90 years of experience in looking out for their needs. lts purposes are to meet both the practical and spiritual day-to- day needs of women, aiming all the while toward a women's worldwide fel- lowship, with the ultimate objective of a truly democratic world. The Oklahoma A. G M. organization is a member of the student division of the National Young Women's Christian association. This national affilia- tion provides fellowship in a national intercollegiate Christian movement. Membership is open to any college woman who expresses her desire to enter the fellowship and to uphold its purpose in her own life by giving and fulfilling this pledge: We, the members of the Young Women's Christian association of Oklahoma A. ci M. college, unite to build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. ln this en- deavor we seek to understand lesus, to share His love for all people, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. The officers of the Young Women's Christian association of Oklahoma A. G M. college are: President, Barbara E. Marting vice-president, Rosemary Wrightg secretary, Carolyn l-lolmang and treasurer, Delma ljloros. ln attempting to fulfill its purpose and pledge, the Young Women's Chris- Y. W. C. A. Cabinet: M.

A. tian association activities are carried out by the students under the leadership of the cabinet and the guidance of the general secretary, Miss Vesta Etchison, who has become a true friend of all who know her. The plan of separating the meetings of the freshman girls from those of the sophomore, junior, and senior members of the Young Women's Christian association was formulated and carried out this year with the freshman group committee planning programs for the freshmen and the program committee planning the meetings of the other girls. Under this plan, it has been possible to develop the talents and leadership qualities of both underclass and upper- class girls. The members of the freshman group were chosen from the girls themselves and were led and counseled in their planning by older members. Programs for the sophomore, junior, and senior girls were planned by and for themselves with the help of an active program committee. ln order to keep the organization unified and so that the members of both groups might become better acquainted, general meetings of the Young Women's Christian association were held one Monday night of each month. Other programs and activities during the year have included evening devotions in the girls' residences, cabinet luncheons, worship services, social functions, discussion groups, meetings with the Young Men's Christian asso- ciation, conferences, retreats, religious emphasis programs, and support and leadership in various worthwhile drives on the campus. Highlights of the year came with magnificent and dynamic speakers, ex- change programs with inter-racial groups, the impressive and inspirational candlelight recognition service when three hundred and eighteen new mem- bers came into the organization early in the fall, and the traditional formal installation banquet late in the spring. The members of the Young Women's Christian association of Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college humbly and sincerely give thanks for a wonderful year and look forward to years of progress when the statement shall be proved again- Never under- estimate the power of a woman. Y. M. C. A. The Young Men's Christian association is composed of a group of men on the Oklahoma A. 6: M. campus who voluntarily band themselves together to promote the ideals of Christian living and Christian service. The associa- tion furnished an opportunity for the development of fellowship and leader- ship in a way that is helpful in a training program. The objective of the Y.M.C.A. is to offer a well rounded program to the members. ln doing so, a program is arranged so as to represent the different phases of training. Two programs each month are given to entertainment presented both by members and non-members, which uses not only campus talent but other very interesting material from off the campus. One program each month is given to recreation wherein all members participate in an evening of informal fun and fellowship. One meeting each month is given to the religious upbuilding of the organization. Added to that are programs for special occasions such as Christmas and Easter. War-time conditions have affected the membership of the Y.M.C.A. Now that the war is won, it is encouraging to have the membership increase so rapidly with the return of the male students to the campus. The Young Men's Christian association assists in many specific projects, such as the World Student Service fund drive, Homecoming, Fathers' and Mothers' day, editing and distributing the Freshman Handbook, intramurals and many others. The membership strives to keep the Young Men's Christian association an indigenous, spiritual campus movement of students, who, under faculty supervision and the assistance and effort of our general secretary, Mr. A. Frank Martin, associate themselves with others to make the college more effective as a religious and character building agency. ln the l945-46 cabinet were Clarence Scherler, president, H. L. Lovelace, program chairman, Loftus Nunley, devotional chairman, Winston Patton, recreation director, Don Miller, Bill Seal, Carol Simons, Daryl Dishman, Boss Duckett, and Bob Foran. - CABINET Ross Duckett, Daryll Dish- man, Bob Foran, Don Mil- ler, Loftus Nunley, Bill Seal, Clarence Schedler.

It was also difficult to make my selection without seeing and talking to each contestant The winners, listed on a separate page, were selected on the basis of personality, character, and intelligence, as well as for natural beauty. My choice, of course, was influenced by my great interest in and admiration for the Natural Girl. If the contestants are ever in New York it would be a pleasure to see them.

A. and M. won the qame, l9 to l4, on a rain- scaked field before 10,000 thrilled, but chilled fans. The Cowboys were the dominant team all after- noon and were never behind. They drove 82 yards to score in the first quarter with Fullback lim Parmer carrying over from the seven. Mack Creaqer converted to put the visitors out in front, 7e0. But Alton Baldwin, the best back the Bazor- backs had that day, tied it up in the third period for their lone minute of qlory. Baldwin raced wide to his right and took a pass from Calvin Smith to pull in the Aaaie defensive. He then tossed a 30-yard pass to Mike Schumchyk for a touchdown. The Porkers kicked the extra point, and the game was all tied up. But Bob Fenimore quickly dimmed the I-logs' hopes with an 80-yard jaunt on the first play after the kick-off. The All-American sliced off right tackle, reversed his field and it was all over. Both teams scored after that, but the Aggies had the game in their hip-pockets. Two Down The offensive-minded A g g i e s made it two straight in Denver, Oc- tober 5, with a 3le7 trouncing of D e ri v e r university. A capacity crowd of 20,000 packed the Denver stadium to Watch Fenimore, Par- mer, lim Reynolds, and Franklin Spruiell dish up six-pointers that took the measure of the home team. Farmer placed the Cotton bowl champs out in front early in the first quarter. The big fullback crashed over from the one-yard stripe after an 85-yard drive. The second tally came after several Fenimore passes had brought the pigskin 80 yards up the field-to the Denver one-yard line. Fenimore Went over tor the score. Reynolds Went through the middle for a 34-yard run after the second-half kick-oft. The Blond Bomber tallied again with a 70-yard dash. The quick-opening play came around right end with a lat- eral coming off a fake line plunge. Little loe Thomas hurled a pass to Spruiell which Went for 34 yards, l. C.

Up in front, substitutes I. D. Cheek, Don Van Pool, Bill Long and Bob Hargrove were making the Denverites won- der which was the Aggies' first line. Three in cr Row State fans got their first look at the powerful and still undefeated Punchers, October l2, at Oklahoma City. The Mustangs from Southern Methodist university were the vic- tims this time, going down before the wrath of Lookabauglrfs speed- sters, 26--l2. For the second straight time, a capacity crowd was on hand for the battle-this time some l8,UOO jamming Taft stadium. lt was a fight between two of the fin- est teams in the Southwest as 53 aerials whizzed through the air. SMU pitchers connected on l5 of 32, and A. and M. was successful eight times in Zl tries. While it was Fenimore's running that again broke the opponents' backs, Fresh- man Bill Grimes came into his own this night. Grimes broke into the scoring column in a big way, break- ing loose twice with fast and slip- pery running which proved too much for the Mustangs. Most spec- tacular play of the night came when Fenimore intercepted a pcks, fell in behind a hastily organized interference, and put on a burst of speed unprecedented for the night. lt was a 66-yard scoring play, and his third in as many games which went more than 60 yards. Four Wins Grimes continued his sensational playing as the Cowboys completed the first half of their eight-game s c h e d u l e unbeaten. Grimes snagged two aerials and crossed into paydirt twice for his fourth six- pointer in two games. l-lis first came on a pass from Reynolds, and the second was a peg from Feni- more. Aggie reserves played a ma- jority of the time. Veteran center Marvin Wilkerson was unable to play and the next day underwent an appendectomy in Denver. Be- serve center Otis Schellstede started, and was relieved by Gene Fitter who saw much action. Neill Armstrong, G. O. Moore, Terry Monroe, Bert Cole, lake Colhouer, Thurman Gay, Schellstede, Nate Watson, Fenimore, Parmer, and Grimes started the game.

DON VAN POOL, LE rainfall. The Aggies' starting line- up stayed in just long enough to score once more, then left it in the hands of the subs. Utah finally scored against the third team. Five Straight Fenimore, after having kept thou- sands of A., and M. fans on edge with a slight illness, got out of the College infirmary in time to lead the Funchers past Texas Christian university, 25el2. Fenimore was confined to the infirmary for two days, and there was much doubt throughout the week that he would be alole to see action. Reynolds, who in this game, for the first time, seemed to be reaching his top l94O form, and Cecil I-Iankins, back in action for the first time this year, were the other two cogs in the Ag- gies' ground-covering backfield. Farmer was out of action with a knocked down shoulder. I-Ie en- tered the game, but lasted exactly two plays before rehurting the shoulder. Twenty-five points were scored in the thrill-packed first quarter. The Aggies drew first lolood with Feni- more climaxing a 72-yard march. TCU came back with two quick touchdowns, the first on a 51-yard pass play. Five plays later, after a pass interception, the Horned Frogs had scored again. This was the first time the Aggies had trailed in a game this year. But that power- ful Aggie offense came through, and it was five in a row. Six Wins November lU. What a -day in A. of M. athletic history. Never had there been such a demand for tick- ets. The ducats had been on sale for weeks, had been sold out im- mediately afterwards. More seats were built, more tickets sold-and still a tremendous demand. l8,000 filled tiny Lewis field stadium to more than overflowing on that chilly Saturday afternoon. lt was to be a replay of that never-to-be- forgotten 46-40 Aggie win in Tulsa the year before, and everybody in the country wanted to be there to see it. And those lucky l8,000 saw the Tulsa Hurricane hurry into a 6-O lead and hold on for dear life. Tulsa recovered their own kick-off deep in Aggie territory and a tricky double reverse play put them in the lead. lt wasn't the thrilling offen- sive game fans had seen the year before. Rather this was a game where the best defense paid off, l. D.

Score: Aggies l2, Tulsa 6. Seven Straight Ranked eighth in the nation by virtue of their Tulsa triumph and in View of an undefeated season, A. ci M. next trimmed Texas Tech, 46- 6, at Stillwater. Every man on the Cowboy squad saw action as Loolcabaugh swept his bench Clean of 44 players. The regulars saw only limited action, playing most of the first period and only a few min- utes of the third. Best play of the game came midway in the second quarter when Walter Schlinkman, highly regarded Tech fullback, fumbled deep in Aggie territory. Alex Loyd caught the ball in mid- air on the two-yard line, carried to the lU, lateralled to l-lankins, who went all the way. Loyd and Col- houer took out two would-be tack- lers with beautiful blocks. Bobby Meinert, third string fullback, oddly Q . enough, led the Aggies in ground gaining that day. The Tech victory left only the pesky Sooners from down Norman way as the only re- maining obstacle on the road to that unblemished season. Eight in a Row Fenimore, Reynolds and 33 other Cowboys played the game of the season in Norman, November 24, to send the Aggies into their second consecutive New Year's day bowl game, with a resounding 47-O thrashing of the Sooners. The vic- tory, which catapulted the Punch- ers into their first unbeaten season in 43 years of football, also consti- tuted the worst defeat ever rung up against a Sooner team. And for those countless Aggie fans who re- member that 41-O beating the Soon- ers handed out back in the late '3Us, it was sweet music. 33,500 scream- ing fans saw the unbeaten Orange and Black Aggies thunder past the hapless Sooners. For Reynolds, victory was especially pleasing. ln his former stay at Aggieland, the big fullback had sparked a late A. CS M. rally that fell just two points short of giving the Punchers the first win in several years. He played his best game of the year.

Y l 9 BASKETBALL Basketball Coach l-lenry P. lba. lba is noted through- out the nation for his outstanding teams and coaching techniques which have ranked the Aggies tops in the nation for many years. 1 Always a leader in intercollegiate bas- ketball, the Oklahoma Aggies took giant strides forward in l945-45 to assure them- selves of a permanent position near the top of the roundball sport. Coach Henry lba's precision-like cagers, for the first time in the history of the National Collegiate Ath- letic association tournaments, won two na- tional titles in a row. The Aggies from Stillwater had rolled to their first nation-wide triumph in March of l945, and although they stayed one-two in the country the complete season of '46, there weren't many who thought the Or- ange and Black could come through for another title. No team had ever won two titles consecutively, though some had come close to it. Even some of the Aggies' most rabid fans thought there must be some jinx in connection with consecutive victories. Those most sure that the Aggies couldn't do it were their opponents in the finals of the tournament played in Madison Square Garden in New York. A. and M. had to vanquish the Phantoms of North Carolina university, and the Phantoms had the best team in the history of their school-a his- tory that has included scores of fine basket- ball teams. The Phantoms did prove to be serious contenders, but they were disposed of, 43- 40, and lba's Aggies had that coveted championship in their hip pockets. A. and M. had taken an l8-point lead early in the second half, but North Carolina rallied gamely, and the three-point margin at the end of the game was the closest the Phan- toms had come in the final period. The North Carolina game came as a fit- ting climax to a splendid season. lt was the best record an A. and M. team ever had Sf d'ng, left to right: Leroy Floyd, assistant coach: Clarence Parker, Sam Aubrey, lames Moore, Robert Kurland, Ioe Halber meir, Bill Crowe, Henry lba, head coach.

BASKETBALL Q' 1 w 'lq.?,., fy A BILL CBOWE, F BOB KUBLAND, C WELDON KEBN, F hung up, tinishing with 3l wins and only two losses. Coach lba said his lf-346 team was the best he had ever coached, and as good a college club as he had ever seen. Another highlight in the year's schedule came late in December at the Qklahoma City all-college tournament. For the sec- ond year in a row, and tor the tifth time in the l0-year history, the Aggies were crowned champions, and carted back to Stillwater the first place cup. Beviewing the season game by game, we see something like this: Tinker field was the first victim. The Airproios visited the Fieldhouse Dec. l, and absorbed a SSA l7 licking. So stingy was the Cowboy de- fense, the soldiers were limited to a single tield goal in the second halt. A. and Mfs second game of the season brought the biggest crowd ever to assemble in Gallagher hall. A throng in excess oi 9,000 turned out tor the highly publicized game with the Blue Demons of DePaul uni- versity. The game was billed as a rematch ,1 of the l945 national champion of cham- pions tilt. The teams had met in March, l945, in a Red Cross benefit game after the Aggies had won the NCAA and DePaul had Won the New York lnvitational tourna- ment. A. and M. won the undisputed pos- session of top spot in collegiate basketball. But it Was a different story this year when :he Blue Demons came to Oklahoma. Big George Mikan was the big factor in the DePaul victory. lust how good he is can oe seen from the professional contract he Eigned later with the Chicago American Jears. His salary was 3312000 a year, one unprecedented in the annals of profes- sional basketball. Mikan hit 25 points against the Aggies to help in the 46e42 loss fianded to A. and M., one of the two the ibamen lost this season. The Aggies left the next day for their an- nual Eastern tour and beat Westminster, 15e23, in Buffalo, Long lsland university, 9e33, in Madison Square Garden, and emple, 384436, in Philadelphia.

Coming loaolc to their home territory, the Punchers entered the Qlclahoma City 'tour ney and disposed of Texas, 69434. ln the semi-final game, Dr. Phog Allen's Kansas Tayhawkers were the opponents. Aller had all-American Charlie Black back on his team, as Well as Otto Snellbacker front the l943 team, one of the best in Kansas history. The Aggies pasted KU, 4628, thd worst defeat in the Aggie-Kansas series. A. and M. beat Baylor in the finals, 6546. Then came easy victories over Creighton 53-34, Wichita, 52e4l 5 Ft.

At I A this point, Bowling Green knocked the starch out of the Aggies, upsetting them, 37248. lt was one of the three worst defeats ever handed an lha-coached team. lt was to be the last loss of the year for A. and M.

And for the first time, every man on A. and M.'s starting lineup was narned to the confer- ence all-star tearn. lt was the greatest year Cklahoma A. and M. basketball had ever i nown. I. L. PARKS, G SAM AUBREY, F LARRY HAYES, F BLAKE WILLIAMS, G PAUL GEYMANN, F TRACK After fielding only skeleton teams during the War years of l943, '44 and '45, Coach Ralph Higgins returned to a full track pro- gram, and the Aggie thinclads became one of the leading contenders in the Southwest for national honors. Higgins still had largely a freshman team, but such veterans as Ralph Tate, Bob Fenimore, and Neill Armstrong gave him something to Work With. The Aggies hurried to second place in the Texas Relays, and with only part of their team present, third place in the Bor- der Olympics. ln both meets, Tate Was high scorer, and was named the outstand- ing individual competitor. Fenimore, the Puncher dashman, did not compete in ei- ther of these meets. ln addition to these already tested and proved Aggies, Higgins came up with the find of the year in I. R. Teakell, freshman middle distance and distance runner. Teakell has been hailed as even a brighter prospect than Forrest Efaw in the longer races, and anyone knowing Efaw will real- ize that, if so, the Teakell youth is in for a great career. Even in mid-season, Higgins Wasn't sure as to just which event was Teakell's best. He is a great competitor, and put in any race, regardless of the op- position, the Aggie yearling is sure to be pretty close to the tape when it's broken. Cliff Dean, lr., son of a former Aggie great, was another freshman prospect. Dean was Texas state champion pole vaulter and set an A. and M. freshman rec-' ord With a jump of l2-8.

Baseball, another sport that had ceased in 1943, made a comeback with Boy Binger, Frank Kellert, and Boby Biggs at the helm of Toby Greene's' nine. With Boomer field also out of commission Cexcept for softball during the war yearsl the Aggies had to play their first few games on the practice field north of the Old Gym. Coach Labron Harris, one of this section's leading pros, was placed in charge of the college golf team, one of the minor sports th-at was given a rebirth with the first peace-time season since they were dropped. l-larris, with no lettermen on hand, had guite a job before him, but matches with neighboring schools such as the University of Oklahoma and Tulsa were played with favorable results. Coach Art Griffith, mainly of the wrest- ling team, was given the tennis duties, and he, like l-larris, had a tremendous rebuild- ing job to do. With no lettermen availa- ble, Griffith conducted a school tournament to determine the players who were to rep- resent A. and M. in dual and meet matches.

Never in any collegiate sport has a team ever dominated so completely as have the Aggies done in wrestling. Under Griffith and the late Ed Gallagher, A. and M. has run up a string of l4 out of the last 16 na- tional championships. They have never had a team to finish below third place and not since l936 have the Aggies been out of first place. By winning this year, the Aggies showed why they are on top. They hadn't fielded a team since 1942, so the' only experienced men they had were a few returned war vet- erans. The rest of the champions came from high school grapplers. Teams in the north and east had carried on competition during the war years, and this spring were as strong as ever. But A. and M. had to start at the very bottom, and it was a long haul to the top of the heap, but the Cowi- boys made it in as close a tournament as has been held. The winners barely squeezed out over the lowa Teachers in winning, 25-24. The tournament was held for the first time in Stillwater. Arndt and Dorsch won championships. . .

Membership is composed of men who have earned the athletic O in intercollegiate athletics. Before a man can be a member of this organization, he must be properly initiated and remain active in the activities. The primary aims of the O club are to promote good will and fellowship among the athletes and also to encourage and foster all activities and enter- prises that aid in the betterment of athletics and the athletic policy of Okla- homa A. CS M. college. The members assemble in the O club room which is located in the Fieldhouse. This room is magnificently equipped, including modernistic fur- niture, radio, drapes, ash trays, and potted plants. The club room is located on the second floor, in the east wing of the building. All the trophies and relics of the past years are exhibited in glass enclosed Wall-cases. The highlight of the year was the annual O club queen race. This coveted queenship was graciously filled this year by beautiful Donna Truitt. The coronation of the O club queen was held at the half period of the home- coming game with Tulsa university, with Nate Watson, captain of the football team, performing the honors. Men of this organization have been prominent in various campus activi- ties. Some of them are Neill Armstrong, president of the Student Association, Bob Kurland, president of the Student Senate, Weldon Kern, secretary-treas- urer of the Student Senate, and Bob Fenimore, president of the junior class. lnitiations are held annually in the fall and the spring of the year. Officers this year included Neill Armstrong, president, Nate Watson, vice- president, and Weldon Kern, secretary-treasurer.

Everett WOMENS ATHLETIC ASSN Now accredited as one of the largest organizations on the campus, the Womens Ath- letic association was founded at Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college during the fall of l92U. By encouraging interest in sports for women, offering recreational activi- ties to many, and instilling a love of good sportsmanship, this organization finds a definite place in campus life., All women students on the campus are eligible for membership in this association. During the war the membership increased greatly, and it has continued to increase. During the school year, the women students on the campus are constantly endeavor- ing to win the numerous tournaments sponsored by W. A. A. for their enjoyment. These tournaments are held between each sorority and between the floors of the dorms. The tournaments are held in tennis, table tennis, volley ball, swimming, badminton, archery, basketball, softball, bowling, and golf. Participation in two of these tournaments in one semester is the reguirement of membership in W. A. A. Once a girl has achieved membership in W. A. A., there is still further chance for honor and recognition. ln the spring of President the year, several very coveted awards are presented at the Honor Awards banquet: An award is presented to the most out- standing senior girl in sportsg the O award is presented to all girls having won three individual titles, played on three winning teams or a combination of three of these. The awards, however, that all coeds seek to win and prize most highly are those offered by W. A. A. to the independent dormitory and the sorority having accumulated the highest number of points during the year as tabulated from the outcome of the tournaments. Margie Stauffer, a junior in the school of Arts ci Sciences, served as president of W. A. A. this year. Assisting her were: Pat White, vice-presidentg Rosemary Wright, secretaryy Velda Blackledge, busi.ness manager, Mary Ellen Kurland, publicity, MARGIE STAUFFER lw 1. Francis Wood, independent sports leader, and Eleanor Roach, sorority sports leader. Miss Valerie Colvin is the faculty sponsor for W.A.A. Each spring the group spends a weekend out at Lake Blackwell, or at Yost lake. The girls participate in swimming, boating, golf, and other outdoor sports. At night a big bonfire is usually built and a program is held there. ln the fall an opening program is held for new students on the campus. Games are usually played and the students are familiarized with the activities of W.A.A. W.A.A. is the organization that tests each participants attitude, tactfulness, spirit of play and cooperation while mixing with others. lt gives the women students an op- portunity to display their skills in sports other than in class. Thus W.A.A. is not only an organization through which physical training is offered, but functions also as an organization through which acknowledge! ment for outstanding performance in sports among women students is acclaimed. ','v'A.l. creates intercst of students in the many sports su ch as liasketi all, trarmis, and swimming. UCCNIIIQUQH ltvninqg ll Ani 3355555553 f I -' ,g:.:::.u':gg3. g Kitt!

PEPPERS Since l92l, the Peppers, tirst girl's pep organization on the Oklahoma A. ci M. campus, has been active in maintaining school spirit and bringing pep to various athletic events which take place on the campus. The prime purpose oi Peppers is to stimulate interest in athletic events sponsored by the college. Since its organization the group has always been active in college pep functions, in the losing years Cand we did have somel as well as in the winning years. Originally the membership was made up ot seven coeds from each soror- ity on the campus, and seven non-sorority girls. During World War ll, when the other coed pep organization, the Aggiettes, became inactive, Peppers membership was opened to all coeds regularly enrolled at Oklahoma A. ci M. college who had an interest in athletic events. W'hen the Aggiettes were reactivated in the tall ot l9-45, Peppers once again put their membership on a representative basis, with each sorority allowed a maximum of l2 members. During the hectic period oi reorganization, Helen Hartley, Chi Omega, was chairman for the group, and led the various meetings which were neces- sary to form the plans for the club. Two Peppers from each sorority composed the committee which decided on the present plans and presented them to the organization. Perhaps the greatest problem was member representation, since some sororities had no Pepper members, and others had as many as l8, who had joined during the time when there were no number restrictions. Beverting back to the prewar constitution, oiiicers were again selected by rotation, with Bobbie lean Webb oi Delta Zeta selected as president. Other officers on the sevenperson executive council are Pauline Newcomb, Alpha Delta Pi, vice-president, loyce Frances, Kappa Alpha Theta, secretary, Helen Hartley, Chi Omega, treasurer, Mary Martin, Pi Beta Phi, social chairman: Barbara Schott, Kappa Delta, publicity chairman, and Bosella Kirkpatrick, Zeta Tau Alpha, sergeant-at-arms. ow 1: I.

Beaves Page 297 QIT PEPPE R S Phyllis Burkey, Chi Cmega, was elected Peppers cheerleader early in the season, and was one of the official ll-man college pep squad. Sponsor for Peppers is Mrs. Meador. Since membership is selected by sorority, Peppers have no pledging or hell week. The sorority membership is kept constant, with new members added each fall to give each group l2 Pepper representatives. Regular meetings for Peppers are held twice each month, on the first and third Monday at 5 p.m. in the Prairie Playhouse. Attendance at meetings, as is attendance at athletic functions, is checked by the council officer from each house. Excuses for absences are reported by the council member to the group at the first of the meeting. This year the Pepper uniforms consisted of black skirts and sweaters, with white dickeys. Because of a shortage of clothing materials, permanent uniforms were not to be selected until the spring of l946, with the hope that the outfits would be manufactured during the summer, and ready for the fall athletic season. The black-garbed Peppers were a familiar sight at athletic games, where a special section was always reserved by the girls for all members. Peppers joined with other pep organizations on the campus this fall in giving skits at the pep rally held before the Homecoming game with Tulsa. The Peppers skit was a mock fight between a T, U. Football Player , and an Aggie Player . Cheered on by pep sections for both sides, complete with cheer leaders, i'victory was finally won by the Aggies. Peppers also helped in the half-time entertainment at the Texas Tech- A. 61 M. football game Mothers' and Dads' day, when 25 members of each of the four pep organizations helped form HCAMCH, and Mom and Pop , on the field. Other activities in the year included participation in the homecoming parade, and a banquet given during the second semester. ,L i . -f ilffffffi V ww' 3' AGGIETTES We, the members of the Aggiette pep organization of the Qklahoma Ag- ricultural and Mechanical college, in order to form a women's pep order, es- tablish friends, insure loyalty and spirit to the athletic teams of this college, to promote a general enthusiasm among the students, and to secure the good will of fellow students and the faculty . . Returning to the campus after a much felt absence of four years, the Ag- giettes can now be seen as well as heard at all athletic functions. Decked out in their white sweaters and skirts and pert orange hair ribbons, the organiza- tion this year has undertaken to live up to the standards established by the first Aggiettes in l928. lt was during these first years that many of the tradi- tions used now were established. The club colors at first were orange and black, but later white was added and is now the predominating color. This year was started with hundreds of applicants seeking admission, and only after careful and thorough deliberation were the 90 possible new members selected. After this was taken care of, the campus could be heard ringing with cow bells and, Hear ye, hear ye, honorable Aggiette member approaches, as the pledges bowed their heads in reverence. Adding also to the general confusion were the two-minute pep talks which each pledge had to make in a public place. lt was here that originality took the fore and dis- courses were delivered on every kind of pep from cereal to songs. Another duty that was required of each prospective member was that of having coke dates with some football or basketball player. lt was at this point that mem- bers wished they were the ones wearing the required pig tails . Commem- orating the cessation of hostilities was a surprise breakfast at which pledge ribbons were replaced by the right to wear the official Aggiette uniform. The activities of this lively group were many and varied, but centered around the theme of gentility and participation. Aggiettes in cannibal cos- tumes boarded a float in the Homecoming parade and rolled through the judgment gates to chalk up a first place win. Also, the Moms' and Dads' day How l: M.

And where else could one find more pep than at a rally where the Aggiettes turned out lUO percent? Then again the club has shown its school spirit by giving its ardent sup- port to the Pep council. This council is one of A. QS M.'s major attempts toward campus democracy. lts purpose is to encourage all the pep organizations to work together as one, thus insuring the teams of greater and more unified support. Each pep organization selects seven members to represent it at the council. At the meetings a round table discussion of the various fallacies in policy and workings of the clubs is held. The decisions and plans of this gov- erning body are then presented to the members for ratification or refusal. ln the advent of the latter, the proposed question is considered before a joint meeting of the complete membership. ln this way, students are able to par- ticipate in and become acquainted with some of the problems of group man- agement. The Aggiette representatives to this council are: Leigh Sullivan, president 5 Wynona Harrison, vice-president, Louizon Killingsworth, secretary 5 Mary Ross, treasurer, Bettye Brehm, reporterg Margaret Terrill, and lane Wolf. Along with the other clubs' representatives, these members organize the pep rallies, manage cheering section seating arrangements at the games, discuss all problems that concern school spirit and, in general, help make the public Aggie conscious. All activities, however, were not restricted to athletic functions. One of the most gala occasions of the year was the Aggiette-Ruf-Nex formal banquet held in December. The banquet served a dual purpose: to acquaint the Aggiettes with their brother organization and to reward the members for their unsurpassed loyalty to their school. Whether it was before, after or during a game, the entire organization was working to help A. ci M. attain a higher rung on the ladder of accomplishment. -ABL- HELLHOUNDS ln january of l927, Hell Hounds received a charter from the national pep organization, Pi Epsilon Pi, and joined the group of outstanding pep organiza- tions throughout the nation. The Oklahoma A. G M. chapter of Pi Epsilon Pi is the only national pep order at A. QE M. The Hell Hounds have outlived all the other men's pep organizations that have ever been organized here, being the oldest organization of its kind on the campus. They have proven themselves to be outstanding in their purpose of creating pep, and also outstanding in their service to the college, both individually and as a group. During the first semester of this school year, the Hell Hounds held two in- itiations. Since the chapter was just reorganizing this year, the first group of pledges consisted of upperclassmen. The second initiation occurred during the Homecoming week on the campus. During Hell week, the pups Cname given to the pledgesj are required to wear orange shirts, a dog collar, and a wooden paddle made to resemble a bone. Hazing has been cut to a minimum but this does not lower the qualifications for entrance. Meetings have been held regularly throughout the year, but the meetings were held in campus lecture rooms instead of the various fraternity houses, as before the war. lt is the purpose of the organization to foster a spirit of cooperation in organized pep at all athletic events. To reach the ultimate of enthusiasm, thus setting an example for the general student body, is the goal of the organiza- tion. To accomplish this purpose, it not only takes a leading part in organized cheering, but presents stunts of varied nature at pep meetings and games. The distinctive orange jacket of the Hell Hounds has been the official in- signia of the order since l93l. Previous to that time, the members had worn a bright orange shirt, but with the activities of the organization developing into year-round proportions, warmer attire was necessary. Hence the orange corduroy jackets with the name Hell Hounds across the back.

During the half of the Oklahoma A. ci M.-Texas Tech game, the Okla- homa A. ci M. chapter of Pi Epsilon Pi presented to Nate Watson, captain of the football team, a dress suit, overcoat and gladstone. This was in recogni- tion of his faithfulness as captain. The Hell Hounds were also active in sponsoring most of the pre-game football pep rallies and bonfires. At one of the bonfire pep rallies, the Hell Hounds secured the music of Marvin Whisman and his Varsitonians for a street dance. The Hell Hounds, in cooperation with the other pep organizations, the athletic department and Mr. R. B. Thompson and committee, gave the Sugar bowl winning team, O. A. M. C., a gala celebration in the basketball arena of Gallegar hall. At this celebration, moving pictures of the Sugar bowl game were shown to a huge crowd. Members and officials of the Mid-winter Sports association of New Orleans were present. The event was broadcast over many major stations. ' Originally springing from an organization called the Aggievators in l92l, the Hell Hound organization maintained an active membership of from 50 to 60 members from l927 until the time it was temporarily inactive before the war. Now with reactivation, the membership is approximately 90. The Hell Hounds will always be found to be boosting for the Aggie ath- letic teams at home or abroad and their bright orange and black jackets have been the source of confidence to teams playing on an opponent's court or field. Good, clean pep and enthusiasm have helped to win many a sorely contested game, and the Hell Hounds are proud of the important part that they have played in supporting the Oklahoma A. CS M. Cowboys in their most successful of years on the field and the court. we gg- IL RUF-NEX The Ag-l-le-Ruf-Nex, better known as the Ruf-Nex, was founded at Okla- homa A. G M. in l922. lt was inactive during the war years and was reorgan- ized in the spring of l945. The period of pledging is one of rigorous nature for the pledges and amusing and entertaining for the members and to others on the campus. lt involves much wielding of the oak paddle and requires a real he-man to go through the period of pledgeship. The Rui-Nex today are still striving to magnify the club's purpose-bol stering the Aggie spirit for all athletic contests. The most important function is to instill a higher inspiration to win in Aggie teams, and to promote this feeling of victory. Although the candidates for membership are selected for their good fel- lowship and manliness and not for their social eligibility or grades, the society is sufficiently well rounded to number among its membership men who are as well known for the latter qualities as the former. The membership of this organization reflects the democratic spirit of our campus. Pledging for the organization is held twice each year, once during each semester. To fulfill pledge requirements the neophyte must be at least a sec- ond semester student, he must support Aggie activity firmly, and he must be a man of unquestionable character. Pledging of neophytes follows a seven-day initiation arrangement locally known as l-lell week . Along the mid-point of the seven-day period the pledges entertain dates at a Scurve Banquet held at Swim's campus hang- out. Qn the seventh day of the highly informal exhibition of pledge duty, the pledge undergoes the third degree of initiation and exchanges his pledge WW r.lrtl 2 53 ..1 .:,.,,l V' V HOWELL TAIT President Page 302 EUGENE WEDIN Cheer-Leader Page 303 RUF-NEX dress, distinguished by a hat of questionable merchandise with uneven brim, ropes and cowbells, for a more cherished orange and black jacket with the Ruf-Nex emblem across the front. Previously, the Ruf-Nex, as an organization, attended many out-of-town sport events. This was limited this year due to transportation difficulties. Several members did manage to attend the Sugar bowl game, the Kansas City tournament, and several other events. Howell Tait acted in the capacity of president of Ruf-Nex for the year and Eugene Wedin served as cheer-leader. A. W. Storer acted as cheer-leader for theqsecond semester. Activities this year included participation in all campus pep rallies, organ- ized cheering sections at the Oklahoma A. G M. games on the field and court. The Ruf-Nex assisted the cheer-leaders and cooperated with them for a special field show during the A. CS M.-Texas Tech game.

The military department of Gklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college was among the first of the collegiate military departments in the United States to receive new officer-type uniforms. These uniforms were received during the second semester, after advanced group pictures were taken. The uniforms consist of light colored trousers with dark battle jackets and matching caps. Page 309 RIFLE TEAM The Oklahoma A. and M. college rifle team is an organization made up of ROTC students who are interested in good marksmanship. Eor more than 20 years the teams representing A. and M. in that sport have been among the best in the nation. For the past few years the record has consisted of one made up almost entirely of wins. ln 1945 the national championship and first place in the William Randolph Hearst trophy for the 8th Service Command were taken. The team in l943, a-freshman group without a single letterman, won third in the 8th Service Command Intercollegiate match and third in the 8th Service Command Hearst trophy. They were national champions in l942, also. This year the team went undefeated through a 33-match schedule. Among the victims of the Aggie sharpshooters were Missouri U. 627, Henderson State Teachers college, Texas Tech. CZD, Ohio State, Michigan U., Lehigh U., West Virginia U., Virginia Military institute, 2nd, 3rd and 6th Hearst trophy, Cali- fornia U., lst and 8th Service Command, Michigan State, Wisconsin U., Syra- cuse U., ldaho U., Pittsburgh U., Nevada U., Utah U., Arizona U., New Mexico Military institute, Coast Guard academy, Clarkson college, New York U., Kemper Military school, Wentworth Military academy, Arkansas U. KZD, OMA, Nebraska U., and Texas Military institute. At the time of the printing of this issue, the team had yet to fire a match with the University of Hawaii. Members on the i946 rifle team are Robert Cline, captain, loseph Green, lohn Truitt, Dale Oldham, limmie Henderson, George Thompson, Arthur Eck- roat, Reed Galloway, Howard Peters, Tedrowe Caulter, Bob Smith, Frank Norton, Clem Vann, Hilton E.

With the war over and building materials available soon, the sororities will soon be building new houses, and foreseeing this they pledged as many girls as possible. Of course, the selection was on the financial basis twe say as Independent party leaders stand behind us with loaded gunsl. During rush each sorority hounded the Redskin editor and photographer for pictures- pictures-PICTURES!!! land don't think they didn't love it!! Sat- urday came the big announcement-Delta Zetas pledged so many girls that they rented an annex and stuffed nine members in it so that they could soak the new pledges for more things fhouse missleneys-you knowlp Theta pledged 29 girls, which included one convertible and two banks: ADPis pledged two staunch Inde- pendents tof last yearl, 29 girls, a voice, and a cheerleader: but those Pifis pledged some of the most be-u-ti-ful gals ever I did see-drool, drool. Chi O's went hog-wild also and pledged 30 gals which just happened tyou understand! to include a couple of cars, a ranch, and a few small businesses over the state such as the Headswewin, Tailsyoulose Oil Co. Now those Zeta pledges are really something and the house they moved into is something to boast about. And speaking of houses, the KD's went all out and redecorated theirs and this year they have some new gals in it that made themselves known in the journalism dept. of the college, as well as a couple of new cars and some goodlookin' chicks. Then enrollment-on Sept. 10-for freshmen toh, my achin' feet! but as usual all the upper classmen, including Pee Wee Williams, Don Stewart and Lowell Harris, were here early to heckle the freshmen and congratulate the new pledges Iloved it, didn't you, Harvey Griffith, Buddy Bruton, and lim Critchfield?!. So, finally, on Oct. ,twoopsl Sept. 14, we got down to the job of enrollmenteand of course there are always silly answers to tsilly?! questions on cards. Bill Iohnson scribbled on his card, where it asked for his organizations and activities,- to be ar- Agnes Main wrote Are you kidding? in the blank ranged . where it asked if you expect to graduate. Bud Miller, Gwyn Compton, and lack Rector stood in enrollment line all morning and afternoon waiting for their enrollment packet, while some fwho knew the right people! merely walked up to the desk and got theirs with a maximum Wait of 3 minutes and 2 secondsfnamely jane Kelly and Sam Stone. Whee! Through enrolling and that speech by Dr. Bennett- now for the mad scramble in the bookstore. Phillip Pipkin and Robert Dark stood in one book line for 2 hours, only to find that at the end of the line they were selling Home Ec. cookbooks-so to the end of another line. And then there were George Weldon and jack Nash who stood in line soooo long that they forgot what books they wanted, so each had to go all the way home to get his book list. Oh, school! Oh, studies! AND OH, 329! Yes, six dumb-not- knowing-what-was-in-store'' students enrolled in the only nine hour course on the campus. And as you might guess, these guys tChamberlain, Stewart, Isenberg, Burnes, jones and Patterson! were in Engineering. Three students of this class organized and founded the Happydale Steal company. This amazing company, with head offices in the senior room of architecture department, will design anything from steel girders to steel garters. With a near-record freshman enrollment and lots of vets back, many organizations which were dormant during the war reorgan- ized-among these was Pi Epsilon Pi, or more commonly known as Hell Hounds. Bill Seikel was elected Big Dog for the organiza- tion-but money-bags turned out to be Bill Seal. The K. D.'s entertained the Hell Hounds about the first week of October and they all had a big time CK. D.'s and Hell Houndsl. Sometime when you think about it, ask Shirley Moore about the poison ivy table decorations. I understand that she really had quite a time Iwith the poison ivy, we meanl. The Zeta's took the cue from there and gave the Hell Hounds a picnic a couple of weeks later. Aggiettes reorganized, too, and Wynnona Harrison was tickled to death over the new pledges and initiates-they pledged lots of strong Independents, and several BWOC's. At the first chance to express their wants, the freshmen elected Alex Lloyd president of the Frosh class, Buddy Simmons vice- president, and Ida Mae Adams, secretary. Incidentally, this Adams-Lloyd relationship is quite interesting. Page 321 The football games this year were really quite the stuff. To start the year off right land for other reasons! Bill Knight, Cecil Gibson and a gang of Aggies went to see A. U. get beat by a host of Aggie Aggregation . Of course some of them were car- ried out during the third quarter, but the real fun started about 8 o'clock in ye ol' Bubble club. I'm wondering if Marvin Whisman was there merely to observe the piano player. Woo-Woo! The theme song of this trip was Let's Take the Long Way Home - if you know what I mean. It seems that after each game there is some spot that everyone seems to make, given time. After the SMU game, Chop Sneed's house has been called the Sneed hotel. And Phil Whayle's aunt didn't miss out on the party in her house! Or did she? Mention the O. U. game and everyone groans Blossom Heath . Could it be a girl's name? As an outgrowth of the publicity we got after the first ball game, the honorableI?l O'Colly started a campaign to outlaw the title of Cowpokes. About the only results are that now we hear the sounds of Okie-pokie . After Bob Kurland's student senate finally got around to throw- ing a dance, one of the biggest mysteries wasfhow could the house be packed with only 87 paid admissions? This came as an aftermath of the Angle-Kurland feud. And speaking of politics, things came to a head after the Redskin popularity queen dance. Tsk, tsk, girls. Several other mysteries on the campus include: Eugene Wedin and the Ruff-Nex pledges are still wondering who set the bonfire off a night too soon. Could it have been T. U.?-I doubt it. Also, why is Iohnny Douglas called Suds ? Guzzle, Guzzle. Some amusement has been coming from the pledges of various organizations. Pup Godley's antics were rather unusual: and don't think the sororities didn't love A. W. Storer and the other Ruff-Nex Scurves . The Peppers got off light as compared to the Aggiettes who got a wee bit sore after their trip around Theta Pond. Also don't forget the Fireman club's rats . If you want to start a good argument, just ask which sorority sneak was the best. But, just between you and me, those ADPi's really caught it when they got back. Collaborators on several sneaks were the DZ houseboys. Wonder how they got in on this. Later in the year, the fraternity sneaks were scenes of big times. For particu- lars ask a Kappa Sig or a Sigma Chi. After the Co-ed prom, we learned some new things. Among the eds there were Ike Parnell, lack Tapscott, Ed Thompson, Bill Craig, lack Milner, Iohn Vogler, Bob Pilkington, and Don Rey- nolds-not to mention Iim Trimble, who didn't get caught. Halloween was celebrated on the campus in the old traditional way. Various and sundry things were found on the doorsteps the next morning including signs, garbage pans and some unmen- tionables. Those couples who make Theta pond a virtual hangout were a little dismayed to find syrup on the benches. How much did it cost to get your coat cleaned Ccensored by a staff memberl? One of the most-looked-for events of the year was Homecoming. Every organization went out in a big way to make the parade one of the best in years. One of the most outstanding floats in the parade, though it didn't place, was that of Willard hall. Perhaps Donna Stanbaugh did a lot for making it so. And did you see Andy Roye as St. Patrick?-brings out the Irish in me, lad! It was plenty cold that morning and our sympathy goes out to Margie Stauffer and the other girls on the WAA float. These gals, as you remember, were in shorts . . . brrrr! The game was one that people will talk about for years. The stadium was packed and after yelling themselves hoarse, many of the students managed to get to the dance that night. Others just managed to get home. All this time, we have heard of the houseboys at the various houses, but now we have a different story to tell. It seems that those lucky fellows who so faithfullyt?! serve the DZ's had the tables turned on them and were served in their own humble abode at the Goldbrick manor, by Lew Cain, Rosie Venerable, Maxine Reaves, and B. I. Webb. Incidentally, if you haven't heard of the Goldbrick manor you haven't lived. Also known as the House of Smith, there abide the characters by the names of Reynolds, Allen, Whisman, Pilkington, Hampton, and Stewart tthat name againl, and the best housemother and father. With all of those together, you can say that you have heard it all. On the campus are many slick cars . . . That black Buick of Pifi Nancy Norton, the beautiful blue one of Betty McCoy . . . to 'V WWW' 'In 1 LOOKING BACK-Continued mention only a few of the eye-knockers. But one of the best known, or maybe because it is seen more often in more places, is jack Cook's Pluto . I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the number of people piling out of it at the SMU game. Sorta crowded, wasn't it, Dockey ? Some people are lucky and some people just aren't. We aren't saying which, but Cupid did a little arrow slinging and as far as the general public goes, some perfectly good people can be counted out. Among those who returned to school with wedding rings were Noma jean Nichols and Pat Arnold. During the year, Cupid got many couples together. Lou Wilson and Ray Kirk were made one early in the fall and then several others. But the climax came in the form of a triple wedding- Bob Moore and Iuanita Thompson, Bill Willis and Ellen King, and Keith Derschimer and Ora Faye jones. Cocky Kern and Scotty are a couple that are not to be forgotten. Cupid had been work- ing on them for quite a time. Also, don't forget the second semes- ter wedding of jack Boyd and Mary Ellso. No story or history of school life at A6-M is complete without at least a mention of The Rock , which is often the center of night life fTheta pond, the exception, of coursel. Ye old Student senate pulled in some new blood this year which included Weldon Kern as secretary-treasurer: BWOC jane Coffee as new Education senator Uane is also Pifi prexy and Pan-Hellenic prexyl: and that gal with the wonderful personality, Maggie Parks, as Home Ec senator. This year we have been honored by serenades by various organizations. Perhaps the biggest was the one by the Hell Hounds after the second of the fall initiations. Oklahoma Hills was the favorite number. Hear tell that Pug Colpitt had some original ideas as to the proper way to wake up the KD's. KI-lave much trouble sweeping up the glass, girls'?l Santa Claus came in full dress this year and all the students took their sniffles and went home to treat the ol' boy right. It looks as if Santa had a corner on the fur market from the looks of the fur coats floating around after his visit. Or, maybe, he's been raising rabbits for a hobby this past year. Could be. Get your tuning forks out, girls. Whether you can sing or not, it makes no dif. Yes, the Christmas carols at the Murray hall Christmas party were led by no other than the Dean Stout. Could it be the Christmas spirit moving her and bringing out these talents from under the bushel basket? And speaking of Christmas parties, the Pifis had a swell time entertaining the little ones at their party. Not being around you fine people on New Year's eve fthank goodnessl we aren't in a position to say just how ye Aggies greeted the new year, but Ioe Pitt and Charles Kosier report that 1946 was started off in the right spirit. On january 1, most of the Aggies spent all afternoon playing the Sugar bowl game. A few lucky people saw the game in the flesh. The stories that Bob DeMoss and Marvin Wilkerson tell of the southern hospitality make this Yankee converted and from now on I'm singing That's what I like about the South! . Shirley Angle has been raving about a Scarlett O'I-Iara , and from what she says it's no girl! The columns of the O'Co1legian are filled with various and sundry things. The most amusing is the following want ad which appeared in the December 14 issue: Wanted: Two boys who would be interested in attending Murray hall formal. Both girls upperclassmeng brunette and blonde. Send applications to Coun- selor. What I want to know is who took advantage of this fine opportunity. Under the pressure of strenuous times, some new organizations have been formed. SLA, composed of two girls and one boy, was to salve two broken hearts. The SOTS were organized by two groups at the same time-Willard hall t3rdl and Frat Shop. Quite unusual to say the least. But the Sigma Omega Taus were put way-way back into kindergarten by the Sig Ep browery brall. When we first saw all the liquor bottles at the dance, we thought they were a part of the decorations-but they weren't. That's correct, isn't it, Wilkinson? My friends, there is a serious problem confronting all of us. It affects us all and is not really our fault. It seems the telephone operators in this section are threatening to go on strike again. Georgia Barker, Dottie Sale and Ann Atkins, I told you that the operator wouldn't like you if you didn't stop interrupting her until she finished Forever Amber. And speaking of telephones, have you tried calling ll03 lately? I Queen elections after queen elections! It's getting so that the person who isn't queen of something or other is the outstanding girl on the campus. Ho, hum. They come and go. But one crown rests on one head that is far from feminine-namely on the head of Roy Rosson, who was crowned King of the Snafu follies. While we're on the subject of the Snafu follies-the hula girl, juanita Clark, made quite an impression. In any discussion of sports, we Aggies have just right to be proud of our teams. Not only football and basketball, but wres- tling, tennis, baseball, track, and practically anything you can name. All during the football season, deep moans could be heard from all the widows who were waiting for the B. F. to bring home the bacon, so to speak. Some of these girls who were go- ing around with mournful eyes and a slow tread were Pat Scrog- gtns, Edwina Leonard, Doozie Batson, Frieda Berkenbile, and Margaret Talbot. The tales of the basketball players coming home from the big city will make interesting listening for their grandchildren about 30 years from now. There I was completely surrounded, nothing else to do but to shoot . . . Spare me, please, spare me! How- ever, my grandchildren will have to listen to the time I . . . well, I won't bore you now. Every Aggie will always remember Brook's, where you can go in with a nickel, order a coke and spend the rest of the afternoon and evening. In fact, you don't even have to have a nickel, just mooch off your friends as jay Seaborn does. Some people are at the corner every time you go in. After she was no longer a pledge ti. e., was initiatedl, Ioan Kelly was always to be seen moving from booth to booth, making new friends and influencing those she'd just met. Bob Barnes is practically a fixture there. In case you ever need to get in touch with jack Lynch, just call 315 and ask for him. After the basketball games, with plenty of pull and the help of three crowbars, you might be lucky to get in the place and rub shoulders with the maple greats. Rubbing shoulders with Kurlandethat's a laugh-I can't even see that high! On this fair campus, we have a newspaper, no hay! CI have heard corn expressed in relationship to it, thoughl. One way and about the only way to get your name in the paper is to look in every hangout until you find the inquiring reporter or Lloyd Murphy and then firmly express your ideas on some weighty subject, such as Do you prefer Aggies or Cowpokes? or If a man is six feet ten and has black wavy hair, what color are his eyes? . Simple-see? Final exams! Oh, teacher, where are my no doze pills and the potassium cyanide? The first for me, the last for you. Drinking gallons of coffee and smoking bushels of cigarettes and then flopping down in the Yehut with Well, that's another one down and I mean way down is Robert Rushing, Bob Keegan, and Clint Mitchell. Statistics are now being compiled on the number of suicides attempted during that week. The Pifis were probably the only group of gals that never have to worry about finals , The reason is obvious-looks and the ability to politic like sixty for thine own benefit . During the week of frat pledging, all the B. T. O.'s really made the rounds of all the good looking girls down at Brooks and the Frat Shop trying to impress the wouldebe pledges that they really knew their way around. Tom Weaver, A. V. Morrison, Bones I-Ierzig, and Charlie Simons could well be included in this list. Wednesday night, the phones started ringing indicating the fatal lContinued on Page 3331 COLLEGE CLEANERS REAL PITTS DRUG FEATURING Elizabeth Arden Tussy Yarclleys and Old Spice Cosmetics Whitmans Candy Phone 22 Safeway Cab Co. NUTS TO THE MEIVIBERS! When George Byer broke his ankle by escaping the Sig Alph pledges when they were going to dunk him in sh-h-hl Theta, there was only one alternative-pull a sneak that wouldn't stop. Chuck Cline, the brain from Tulsa, dreamed the deal up, and he wasn't by himself when he suggested it. Lowell Harris, the treasurer, got the old books out, but that end of the big scheme Wasn't so hot so Iohn Martin, the pledge prexy, and less Henson, the secretary, scouted around until economical lodging could be found in Tulsa and the bite was put on several of the guys to get their cars. For a month small groups discussed the situation thor- oughly. It takes a lot of planning to destroy morale of members! Promptly on the morning of Saturday, April 6, at lO a. m., members were startled by seeing clothes pouring out of windows. Bob Dickman was in the basement of the Sig Alph house and was wondering why the pledges hadn't pulled their sneak since that was the weekend before initiation and they wouldn't possibly do anything then when he saw a shoe come floating down out of space. Vernon Shockley pulled a slick one-up to a certain point. He barricaded himself in his room, but a tele- phone call and a husky shoulder against the phone booth door took care of him. From 10 until ll:3O the eager beaver pledges like Bill Belknap, Bill Mayfield, Ben West, Cline, and Fred Glas- gow hustled the clothes to every sorority house on the campus. They left them with instructions that they were not to be returned until noon Sunday. Of course, some of the housemothers felt sorry for the members and gave them back ahead of time. But the pledges swiped the duds back. Those clothes shouldn't have been left with- out a guard. The last stop on the list before taking off in member Fred Oglesby's car was an apartment at 1621 College where Warren Morey, lack Morey, Bob Schuetz and Bill Ford lived. Those fine characters had been gloating. Ford stayed at the apartment until noon. The pledges struck at l2:lO. The next stop was for deposition of the clothes at two sorority houses and then it was Tulsa, here We come! A good time was had by all, but oh! the next week!

They were real nice to the girls. Bettye Beckham and Shirley Moore kept a very close eye on the kids. They even guarded the powder room, not to mention the friendly little service they rendered by telephoning all the gals' dates telling them that their dates for the crown- ing of the frosh queen would be a little late. The expected happened when two of the females decided to take a powder. The cat was out of the bag. Several of the guys said that Casey should have gone out for track, and some of them said that McBur- nett was no slouch. From that time an uproar prevailed. Shortly after the attempted escape another of the candidates arrived. Her arrival brought loud screeches-not yells-from those who had fallen into the trap. She was capably escorted inside. At 5:30 p.m., with five of the Cherubs un- reported, the photographer arrived. That surprised them. They actually had their pictures taken. But what's a good kidnap- ping without pictures? ln comparison, before and after the beans were spilled were as different as a jeep and a Cadillac. When the telephone rang, every feminine lung in the joint, with the exception of Beckham and Moore, let out screams for help that must have con- vinced the neighbors that either the taxes should be raised or murder was going on.

Once upon a time H945 to be exact? there lived three maidens in a small farm house near the campus. Now there was nothing particularly outstanding about these girls except they lived alone a great deal of the time while the pater was away gathering greenbacks in an airplane factory in Kan- sas. There was, however, one member of the family that should be mentioned at this time and that is the young brother that all the fellows called Tim. l-le stayed at home also, hence contributing a certain pest value to the story. Mary was the youngest of the three daughters and was always the extra girl for a blind date. When the local lads went calling, they always had to find somebody for Mary. Many were the tales that spread over the campus about the beauty of this 1 didnt Come here for what you thought I did, states Raymond Jordon with hands up and looking at supposed dead friend. Leonard Wood fires the shot that sends the unsuspecting 'have-a-good-time' student running back to town. girl. Most of them, however, I must admit, were used for batting a third member on a trip to the farm house. Don't be misled though, dear reader, for the victim would always come back to tell others of the won- derful girl he had met. Yes, and in spite of the fact that many of them appeared to have been run through the proverbial threshing machine. Try as you would, never once could I ever get any other story from them. lt wasn't until I saw a campus character, lohn Ball, furtively making his way into town from that direction, looking badly beat, that l decided to investigate. Of course, I might add that Argyl Conners had lost his girl friend for the same reason just the week before and loe Shunkamola had come in with most of his clothing torn off. Here is what l finally found out about the strange events that took place at the small farm house. lt seems that a local group under the di- rection of Leonard Wood had cooked up the idea of having a bit of fun, so Mary and her sisters came into being as fictitious charac- ters for purposes just designated. Their home consisted of a deserted farm house with plenty of fences and obstacles be- tween.

Sadie had her day on the campus ot A6-M, and what a day! Rater week, for during that time the girls sguired the boys to all the local hangouts for cokes, candy, dancing and so forth. An occasional lucky fellow managed to get a steak out of some unsuspecting female. The dance that climaxed the Whole Week was an Al Capp's paradise. All characters from the Wolf Woman to Indian Ice along with several indescribable ones could be seen swinging and swaying to the music of those local corn cobblers, Marvin Whisman's Varsitonians. During this week, our dear ole Aggievalor staff put out the best humor magazine that we've seen in many a day. The Aggievator-gripes now became I-lggievator-compliments. About that time, spring thrust its fair head up and Keith McPheeters and Wanda Lee Hinkel and other couples could be seen making their way to Theta Pond and other such spots to make up for the time lost during the winter. With the grass turn- ing green, the trees budding, the birds singing, the bees buzzing, the Engineers decided to start spring off with another queen race.

Some of the dizzy dames were all for going on a hunger strike, but-from the notebook again-they didn't have the courage of their convictions. About 7 another escape was attempted. Yet Garen made her escape by Way of a Window under which there happened to be a rose bush with very sticky thorns. That slowed her down some. She was promptly caught.
