It was adopted as a name for rhe Annua) when the first volume was published by the class of toil. In preparing the present number we have tried to make it a good hook, faithfully reflecting the best activities of the school from a high and impersonal standpoint. It is a pleasure to express our appreciation to those who have helped us in various ways. First of all, to the citizens of the Stare, who have founded and maintained the school, and especially to the good people of Durant, whose interest anti encourage' merit have cheered us over many hard places throughout our entire course, and who have helped to make this hook possible. To Mr. A. YV. Gilliland , our class adviser, whose help ha been constant and generous, tn Miss Myra Williams, our class sponsor, whose influence has been a beautiful inspiration toward good work, tn Jr. M. M. Wickham who kindly has aided with the cartoon work for the Annual, and to other members of the faculty who have assisted financially or otherwise, we extend our sincere gratitude. Thanks are due, also, ti those members of the student and alumni organizations who have given us reports and write-ups requiring time and energy. Each new Annual is a link between the past and the future. We of the Class of 191 hope that our ‘ HolUsrT will bring happy reminiscences to the graduates and other students who have gone out into the world, and to the good teachers who have left us for ocher fields of usefulness. To the classes following us may it be an inspira- tion toward helping to make the greater history of our Normal, which, we trust, as the years go on will be written not merely on leaves of paper, hut on the lives of its students as they go forth from its doors bearing their rightful heritage of happy memories, broad scholarship, thorough training, high ideals, and undimined faith. 6 H O L I S S O Holisso Staff EDITORIAL STAFF.

To rule his land, Love justice and love honor. For them both He girds himself and serves her, nothing; loath. Although against a host in arms he stand. Ruling himself, the world he may command; Taught to serve her in honour and truth, Baby and boy and in his sturdy youth, He finds archangels help on either hand. The best the world can teach him he shall know. The best his land can give him, he shall see, And trace the footsteps where his fathers trod; See all the beauty that the world can show, And how it is that freedom makes men free, And how such freemen love and serve their God.” Alumni Notes THE FIRST GRADUATING CLASS Miss Mabel Nolen, io, is teaching in the city schools of Durant, M iss Clara Pettey, to, h now the w ife of Mr. W. h.

To people who do not know the achievements of our class, this fact may seem preposterous but people who know accept it as the truth. The members of this year class came in from almost everywhere. Many of them are from other schools, but the majority have been attending Southeastern for four years, and then suddenly became aware of their personality. Although the percentage of boys may be small, they are none the less faithful to the cause. They claim to constitute the brains of the class, granting the beauty to the girls. The latter agree (hat they possess ti e beauty, hut will not acknowledge that the boys possess all the brains. We are a class which is very much alive in spirit and action. Our particular pleasurr is in tormenting the class which is a year above us. However, we are sorrv to say that they take it goodnaturedly. and we have not been able to stir up a 'big class bawl. One day we were feeling extra gay, and took ourselves to the top of the building to eat our lunch. To our great surprise the Seniors immediately took offence and proceeded to lock us up. Suffice to say that we had a most excellent time, and enjoyed the missing of our classes to the fullest extent. Our class contributes much to the general activities at the school, whether ath- letic, dramatic, musical, or social. Some of our members have made various athletic teams for the past three years, winning the title of stars. One third of the Dramatic Club is composed of Juniors; yet we veritably believe we have one musical genius on our roll. Responsible Y. W. C, A. offices are held h ' Junior girls. Two member of last years debating team were enrolled in our ranks as Sophomores, One nf them is not with us this year, but the other has fair promise of making the team this year. We are given credit for possessing more dignity’ than the Seniors, What will be our grave and solemn appearance when we have VI year written on our cards? Since we are discharging our duties as Juniors so happily, we can say without fear of contradiction we will make the best Senior class in the history of Southeastern. 2S T H|flK I H O Lydi a May Collins, Durant, Oklahoma. 7 love the non-coms. hut oh! you Lieu tenants” Vice President of Class and of V.

The Association strives to surround the student with good Christian influences. The members are active and try to make the Y. W. C. A. a living factor for good. Devotional meetings are held each Sunday afternoon at the homes of the girls. Two Sundays arc devoted tit Bible Study; one to Missionary Study, and one to practical dis- cussions. The Bible Study is under the direction of the Chairman of the Bible Study Committee, Miss Edith McKean. In tlie meetings for practical discussion some member of the faculty gives a lecture. The Cabinet meetings are held each Tuesday at the luncheon hour. In these meetings problems of the Y. W. C. A. are discussed ami solved. The result of the committee meetings are reported by the respective chairmen of the committees. Meet- ings of the whole Association are held every Saturday, and questions concerning the Association are discussed. The girls have secured one of the rooms in the building and have furnished it nicely for a Y. V. C, A. Rest-room. This is a great convenience, for all girls are allowed the use of the room, A committee tends to the cleaning and new furnishings of the room. One of the chief aims of the Y. W. C. A. is to give it's girls social efficiency. When a new girl enters school, the members speak to her and invite her to attend the meetings of the Association. Frequent parties and receptions afford pleasure to the girls. It is a policy of the Association to give a reception to all new students at the beginning of the school year. At the home of the Secretary, Miss Xelle Haynes, one of the most successful receptions of the Y. W, C, A. of the Southeastern Normal was given in October. The President and the Vice President, Miss Edith Gragg and Miss Lydia Collins, respectively, were sent by the Association to the State Conference at Stillwater. This lias proved a great blessing to our Association. The young ladies were deeply interested in the work, and have been of great help and inspiration to all the girls. The State Conference has been invited to meet here next year, and the members plan to do much work and reap great profits. +6 Young Women's Christian Association CLASS ROLL ICciirh Gragg Nelle Haynes Lydia Collins I ois Jarrell Susie lYrrej Ruth Abbott Edith McKean Bertha Crrstvell Grace Dodson (jtace Wasson Gertrude Nelson )llic Simmons Fannie Williams Charlotte Malone Mary Nichols Lrlia Hampton Miriam House Meiia Smith Cnmmie Atkinson Bess Nolen Verna Washington Ola Human Ethel Harrison Gladys Davis Dimple Stone - Ella Gyr Georgia Parker Officers of Y.

Chitwood.................................... , . . Secretary Spring Term On January 7th, uji2 a group of young men from the Webstcrian and Senate literary societies of the Southeastern State Normal School met for the purpose of uniting the two societies and perfecting a new organization. To signify their definite arm they named their new organization, ,lThe Southeastern Debating Club. They chose as its colors Royal Blue and Maroon. It is not the purpose of this article to dwell upon the value of the literary society as an instrument in the development of the student. That it teaches him the art of self expression, acquaints him with parliamentary law, and broadens him intellectually has been demonstrated over and over again, and would apply with equal aptness to our own society as to those of other schools, What is of more interest to us is the work which the Debating Club is really doing, Bj their fruits e shall know them, runs the old proverb, and from the fruits already garnered in we may srw that our society is a success. Some of our members are winning laurels in other fields. Last year we won our home contest in the Triangular Debate although losing abroad. This year great interest is being manifested in the second Triangular Debate, which will take place in the spring. Practically every man in the club is working on this contest and a winning team is assured. Hut let us never he satisfied, f t us strive onward and upward. Let us be ready to make a sacrifice in order to do every task htat is set before us. Then, and then only, as year follows rear, will our society approximate ev en to perfection itself. W. N.

The final try-out for the annual triangular debate to be held with the Ada and Tahlequah Normals took place Monday, February 24th. at the Christian Church. Several young men of the Debating Club competed for the honors of representing the Southeastern in this debate out of which four were chosen. Following are the hoys who tried for places: W. N, Chitwood, Wm, Jones, Morris Livch, J. Custer Moore, Wells Thomason, Grady Warm and Dan Stewart ; and the above are pictures of the successful contestants. This debate is an annual feature arranged between the three normal schools on the east side of the state and the three on the west side. It is the principal event of the kind held during the school year, and great interest is always shown. Last year our representatives went to Tahlequah and the Ada debaters came here. This year the arrangement will be reversed, the Tahlequah team coming to Durant and our men will go to Ada. Mr, Thomason and Mr. Chitwood will discuss the affirmative side of the question at the Ada school, and the negative will he debated here with Tahlequah, with Mr. Lively and Mr. Stewart representing Southeastern. The school on tin- east side whose team makes the highest per cent meets the team of the west side which is chosen in the same manner. 51 HOLI S S O Delta Literary Society Colors: Black anti Gold OFFICERS FmvAROIXK Wilmot Crexshaw...................

The aim of this organization is to promote literary appreciation and interpretation, drvelop orginality and individuality, cultivate ease and grace in delivery, awaken an interest in current events, increase the general culture of its members, and provide in- tellectual ami social pleasure for them. Under the direction of Professors F. B. Robbins and A. W, Gilliland much val- uable work has been done this year, and many interesting programs rendered. These programs consist of readings, essays, debates, and currrnt events, interspersed with both vocal and instrumental musir. llie Delta has chosen for it's motto, Virtue, Perseverance, and Scholarship,1 and each year brings it's members nearer the realization of this ideal S2 H Mrs, Joe Lou Adams Hess Nolen Lois Jarrell Ruth Abbott PLACE AUX ROLL Ruth Dickerson Ruth Cox Julia BeaVert Gladys Davis DAMES Alma Fuller Gertrude Nelson Nelle Haynes Susie Pettey The exclusive ten, of the S.

In the spring of 1912, ten of the progressive girls of the Southeastern State Normal School of Durant, Oklahoma, met to organize a dramatic club. The en- thusiasm with which the proposal was received is worthy of commendation. The club was organized under the direction of Mrs. Joe Lou Adams, director of the Department of Expression. They began work immediately under the name of Place Aux Dames.” The colors adopted were baby blue and gold. The motto is: ‘G rue art is to conceal art, In June a commencement pla . complimentary to the senior class was given. Our Aima Mater, as the plav was called, was heartily received bvvDurant theatre- goers. f The programmes given by the Dramatic Club have been of a literary nature, though the materia was studied from a dramatic standpoint. Hamlet and Mer- chant of Venice were stuJied both analytically and dramatically. The monologue was then taken up ami Browning. the representative monologue writer, was studied. Several society monologues were given by members of the dub, A Travesty on Shakespeare’s Women has been worked out, also a little play ot a domestic nature called “Rebecca The Place Aux Dames was organized just one year ago with ten charter mem- bers. They have done good work in the past, and expect to continue their dramatic work during the coming year. For commencement the club will present a college play. 54 PLACE AUX DAMES 51 i THE PIERIAN SOCIETY Motto; The light of truth leads. Colors; Purple and White.

It regular meetng place is the library, where, at p, tit. on Saturday of each week, an interesting program is rendered. This program co isist principally of essays, declamations and musical numbers. The essays are usuali) literal) or historical in their nature, while all declamations are selections from writers of merit. Sometimes a parliamentary drill is conducted bv some member of the society, and occasional!) debates on questions of present day interest are heard, The Pierian Gazette, which is read at each meeting, adds a more personal touch by reporting even thing pertaining to the Southeastern State Normal School. Frequently, one of the facult directors of the society close? the program with an impromptu address, which furnishes the members with much that is valuable to them in their work. Under the direction of Professors Laird and Linseheid, thr Pierian Society ha? made great progress during the pasr year, and has accomplished much work along the lines laid down at its organization. At the close of the term it had about thirty member?, erch of whom manifests great interest in everything relating to the Pieria” , and an ever increasing eagerness to follow were “the light of truth leads.

We now have fifty-six enrolled, all active and interested in society work. Every meeting, however brings new applications for membership into our society and by the dose of the year we feel sure that our number will he greatly increased. The aim oi the Utopian Literary Society is to give every boy and girl a true knowledge of what literary work really means, and to prepare them to be accurate speakers and readers. We do not expect to make good speakers or readers of all our members but if we help just one boy or girl to he successful, in litcrarv work, we will feel that our time has not been wasted, or that the Utopian Literary Society has not been organized in vain. The work of the Society is indeed interesting. We have the last hour of the clay every Saturday set aside especially fur this work. The Programme Committee makes nut versatile programmes so that the interest of the stuJents will be maintained throughout the entire meeting. The programme is composed of reading, piano solos, essays, current events, orations, original stories, vocal stilos, debates and a variety of contests. Last year the Faculty of the Southeastern Normal presented the Utopian Society a handsome loving cup as a reward for the excellent work done throughout the vrar. 1, he members of the Society are working very industriously this year, and we hope that we may again receive this beautiful token of appreciation. 58 THE UTOPIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Rhetorical Group Literary Society The Rhetorical Group is one uf the most interesting societies of the Southeastern State Normal School. The purpose f� f this organization is to prepare the student tor the higher societies. In this group he is examined along different lines In determine in what kind of special work he is most competent, and is then recommended to the society for whose work he is best adapted. The work is carried on under the special direction of Mr. J. C. M Kruniptum and Miss Hallie McKinney. This Society meets once a week, on Saturday afternoons. A program lasting from thirty minutes to an hour is rendered at each meeting. The program consists of recitations, select compositions, and debates. Selections from the he t author arc used for recitations and the compositions are original. Various subjects of general interest are debated, fn case the program is short and does rot occupy the full hour, the extra time is spent in discussions and talk on the most interesting topics of the hour. In general, the work of the Society is to promote the appreciation of the work of the best authors, and to make the student more familiar with the happenings of the present day. Don Rouofrs.

According ro recent calculations there is little doubt that we are here, and the faculty take supreme delight in seeing that we are compelled to work, even against our natural inclinations.

For this reason the directors of the Department of Music have laid especial stress upon its interpretation. The choral work done by Southeastern State Normal School students is not mere singing, hut interpretative work Choruses are selected from the best operas and operettas that we have. A thorough knowledge is first gotten of the musical struc- ture; then the interpretation is sought. The final culmination is the presentation of the opera, Pinafore.” presented by the choral class, under the direction of Miss Isabelle M. Brown, director of the Department of Vocal Music, was conceded to be the best musical number ever given in Durant by a student body. Sylvia,” an operetta, met with wonderful success. The piquancy of the girls and the charming demeanor of the boys delighted an appreciative audience. The Choral class has been organized only two years; during this time they have furnished music for all public entertainments, staged two operas, and expect to present the “Mikado’' in the early Fall. 67 Golden Duncan Kathleen Abbott Gladys Davis Wells Thomason Elmer Early Howard Jarrell Ruth Mackey Ruth Dickerson Gertrude Nelson Isabelle M, Brown Fannie Williams Clifton M ticket Hollis Hampton Normat School Chorus Helen Haynes Ruth Abbott Lois Jarrell E, Lame Bartlett J, Custer Moore Edith McKean Dan D.

Durant Guy Potts Dorothy Gooding Ollie Simmons The Pedagogical Club 1 he faculty of the Southeastern State Normal School not only believe that students should study scientific methods of teaching but they have organized themselves into a club for the study of pedagogical questions. The club meets weekly and is under the direct supervision of President Mimlaugh, who possesses a fund of informa- tion in pedagogical matters not surpassed in the state. Each week some member of the faculty is appointed leader and the work is con- ducted in such a way as to afford a variety of treatment which se.ures renewed interest at each meeting. Last year a careful study was made of The Recitation, based upon the work by Hamilton. This year Hcrbart and the Merbartians by chat great apostle of Her- bartianism, DeGanno has served as the basis of the study. Since Herbart is recognized as the founder of the science of education it is fitting that he should he the daily companion of the faculty of a normal school. Much attention is given to the modern application of Herbart1 views, and the faculty make frequent tests of the efficacy of the c methods in the class-room. The Graduate Study Club The Graduate Study Club wa; organized during the school year 1911-12, All alumni of the school are members of the Club, and meet once each month for study. Mr. Hardy, now a member of the normal faculty, is president, anti Dr. Murdaugh directly supervises the work. Much good has come from the Jtffereir meetings. The work done is similar to that of The Pedagogical Club and is conducted along the same lines. This year Herbart and the Herhartiatis is being studied and great interest has been aroused in the founder of the science of education and his followers. 09 T M it § i I YELLS Ker-yi; Ker-yi, Ker Flippity liim.

When the call to practice came hut three of the 1911 team failed to appear, Moore at center, Hagood at tackle, and McNecley at fullback. In addition to the old members, there were about ten new candidates for the three vacant positions, the entire squad averag- ing over it)0 pounds in weight. With this material. Coach Laird proceeded, by per- sistant practice, to round into form one of the best teams that has ever represented Southeastern. The team had the great misfortune to be deprived of the service of Coach Laird a large part of the season on account of an extended case of typhoid fever. But by the strenuous work of Manager Gilliland, the team was kept in excellent form. The daily scrimmage with the second ream gave them a skill in defensive work and inter- ference that was almost irresistible, while the continuous work on the sand pile gave them wind and endurance which enabled them to outlast by far the best of their opponents. The god of luck seemed to consider Coach Laird’s illncs- punishment enough and otherwise favored the team in every possible way. Not a man was in iured throughout the entire season and not a man was kept out of a game because of low grades. The schedule was not so tfiM as it might seem, fur in every ease the teams were about evenly matched in weight, and in most cases S. E. N. gave her opponents their first defeat of the season, Wc look back with pride upon 3 season of victories without a single defeat. 7 n h mm - Haynes, Captain 41 RATS’' Montgomery Taulbce Woodward Thompson Miller Faulkner Rushing Jarrell AI a son Nolen Graham Shuler — Dickerson Taylor Yarborough The Rats The future football heroes of S. E. N. are the “rats’ and their work shows that many years will pass before the Normal will wish in vain lor a football team that can win games. Their average weight is about 90 pounds, but they can be depended upon to heat any team weighing less than 120 During the year 1912, teams of almost twice their size met defeat time after time at the hands of the “rats.11 They attribute their success largely to the coaching of J. C. M. Krumpton, who in spite of the lack of weight of the squad, developed a team whose interference and team work was equal to that of the first team. It was onl by hard and constant practice that they acquired the endurance to successfully withstand the superior weight of their opponents But what they lacked in size, they more than made up in speeJ, quickness and head work. Their use of the short .forward pass was wonderful and if a hole large enough for a rat to pass through opened iti their opponent’s line, a “rat” went through it with such speed that pursuit was hopeless. It is with pride that we review their season of victories unmarred by a single defeat. And we confidently predict that as long as S. E. N. has such material to Je- pend upon for her future football teams she will have no cause to be ashamed of her athletics in that line. 79 From Games of Season 1912. 80 Track Squad The Track Team of 1912 13 het'an prac- tice early in February. The first call was an- swered by over twenty men who were quali- fied for the different events. Soon after the practice began the old men were showing their old time form, and prospects for a winning team looked bright. R. H el bach was elected Captain and materially assisted Coach Laird in rounding the men into form. The first meet of the year was held with Armstrong Indian Academy on March 22. At the time this is written the result of the meet is not known, Another meet with the school on the east side of the state is being arranged for, and then Southeastern has suc- ceeded in becoming a member of the State Track Meet Association.

Southeastern Oklahoma Inter-High School Track and Field Meet—Piano, Declamation and Oratorical Contest These contests are held in April of each year. The first meet which was held in 1908 had only two schools competing, but since then the event has rapidly grown until last rear twenty-three high schools were represented. This year even a much larger number is expected. One of the greatest educational values of the Meet is that it brings the high schools of this part of the state together, and they become imbued with the determination to do something. It gives the student something to look forward to and hence, a desire to stay in school. The Track Meet is the biggest event, and has proven a very interesting one; the contests have been close and good records made. The eligibility rules are those adopted by the State High School Association. The Piano, Declamation and Oratorical contests are held on the night before the Meet. The declamation contest is open to girls only, and the oratorical contest to boys. These events have been very closely contested. RESULTS OF MEET LAST YEAR. Event— Winner— School— Records— 100 Yd.

Biologv Class Afikld 8-j Gone But Not Forgotten The members of the Class of '13 always will remember certain teachers whose example, inspiration anti ideals have made a strong impression for good upon the lives of their students. Unfortunate]) for the class and for the Normal some of these resigned before the beginning of the present year to take up work elsewhere. The class has lost, also, two of its members. Dr, J. F. McKean, Director of the Training School and Professor of Psychology and Pedagogy during our junior year, resigned shortly before the opening of school, greatly to the regret of the students and others who have the best interests of the Normal at heart. Dr. McKean is a man of master mind, strong personality, marked ability and high ideals, a man born to teach, horh teachers and pupils, and to inspire a love foT teaching. His influence will remain always in the minds and hearts made better by his presence among us and will be far Teaching in its effects for the children of the state. Prof, N. E. Winters, former head of the Department of Agriculture, resigned near the close of our junior year to accept an excellent position offered by the govern- ment in recognition of his success as a teacher. Prof. Winters1 many friends were glad to learn of his good fortune, hut regret his loss to the school. iss Minnie Ballou, former head of the Department of Foreign Languages, also resigned at the close of our junior tear and left for Berkeley, California, to take up graduate work at the University. She will be remembered as a very efficient teacher and a lady in the truest sense of the word. Her standards and example have left a marked influence for good upon the entire student body. Miss Ruth Atkinson former head of the Department of Physical Education, re- signed and left us the last of June. Miss Atkinson's work was thoroughly good and a pleasure to her students. The happy and beneficial times spent under her direction in the Gym will not be forgotten. The Training School lost two of its best teachers when Miss Josephine Fitzgerald an d M is Nelle Brady decided to leave. Miss Fitzgerald went to Oklahoma City last spring, leaving behind her many friendships and much appreciation of her work. Later Miss Brady became the bride of Mr, Daniel Murchison, of Charlotte, S. C. Miss NrlleV’ great popularity is equaled only by her great efficiency. Her recent visit to the Normal was a pleasure to all. Mr. J. R, Mahoney, Secretary to the President and teacher of Penmanship dur- ing our junior year, will long be remembered for his unlimited patience and his unfail- ing courtesy. Miss Eugenia Carter, one of our brightest seniors, early in the year became con- vinced that married life would be happier than school life and left us to become the wife of Mr. S. A. Smith, carrying with her the best wishes of her classmates and hosts of other friends. Floyd Hagood. another classmate, left in September for the University of Missouri where he is making good and is already prominent in musical and other organizations. 90 HOLI S S O SOCIAL EVENTS The annual . W. C. A, reception was given at the home of Miss Nelle Haynes in honor of the new students. The house was beautifuuiy decorated with pennants and cut flowers. The V. W. C. A. members and the members of the faculty were in the receiving line. A very novel form of entertainment was a state contest which made the new students feel at home by meeting friends from their home state. Delicious punch was served during the evening. American Beaut roses were given as favors. One of the most delightful entertainments of of the football season was that given by Miss Ella Gyr on the evening of October 28th, The elegant home of Miss Gvr was beautifully decorated with pennants and flowers and the normal colors were given to the visitors upon entrance. Games and guessing contests entertained the inerrv crowd and excellent music added pleasure to the joyful occasion. Just before the guests left for their homes, a delightful two course luncheon of salad, sandwiches, coffee, and ice cream and cake was served. At a late hour the happy guests departed and alt declared Miss Gyr an excellent hostess, At the close of the football season Mr. Laird coach of the team gave a weeny roast on the lawn at his home for the members of the team and the invited guests. One of the first social happenings of the Senior Class of this year was the candy pulling at Mrs. Verna Washington’s. Several members of the faculty were present to pull cand as well as to eat it. They, together with the members of the Senior Class, made a large jolly crowd. The girls who made the highest grades in Domestic Science cooked the candy while others had their fortunes told and played games. The candy was poured into plates, just large enough for two and set out on the porches. As soon as it was cooled we had a contest to see who could pull their candy the quickest, and the winner was to get all the candy. Everyone worked so hard that we all tied and each person atr his own candy. On the night of October 19th the Seniors of the S. L. N. met at the home of the class sponsor. Miss Williams. T here we found Inads of good things to eat, and we all filled our arms with chicken, fr ing pans, coffee pots, and hurried down to the spring. Tn just a few minutes the hoys had stacks of big logs blazing, and the girls were filling pans with chicken. By the time the chicken was fried the coffee was made and the cloth was spread with bread, pickles and fruit. French}” won the eating medal by eating twelve pieces of chicken. The fire was rehuilt. and we gathered round and listened to the good traits of the faculty of S, F. N, Then Miss Williams told stories and gave readings until the moon went down and the fire died out. 91 H © i I' S Shortly before the Christmas holidays Mrs. Adams entertained the members of tile Plate Aux Dames with a slumber party The ten members were all present. On arriving a large American Beauty rose was pinned on the left shoulder of each girl. With our hostess as chaperon we were given a line party at the Orpheum. Refreshments were served at Sinclair’s where our hostess had made arrangements for entertainment, with music. At a late hour we returned to the home of Mrs. Adams, where we made candv while listening to the sweet voices of serenader . In the morning a dainty break fast was served. Phc Juniors and Seniors of the Southeastern Nnrmel spent a most enjoyable evening at the home of Prof. V. T. Dodson on last Saturday. Some friction had arisen in the Junior class, which resolved itself into a court, so that the trouble might he settled and peace restored. Juniors invited the Seniors to come and serve as jurymen. The following was the order of trial: Defendant in Error-—Fannie Williams, Plaintiff— Morris Lively, Judge—C. M. M ackey. Sheriff— L. W, Thomason, Clerk—Dimple Stone. Bailiff—Nellie Haynes. Prosecuting attorney—Grady Warm. Attorney for defense—J. O. Moseley - Prof, Dodson was on the witness stand in behalf of the defendant and he lived up to his court oath when he swore to tell nothing like the truth, nothing pertaining to the truth and as far from the truth as possible.” Warm's pleading tor the plaintiff and Moseleypleading for the defendant ua the attraction of the evening. The plaintiff swore that Miss Williams had promised to write to him while on her Christmas vacation, and that she had rot lived up to her word. After the jury had pronounced the defendant guilty, hot chocolate was served and nil went away declaring Prof. Dodson to he a delightful host. An exceptionally well appointed party, appropriate to the season, was that given to the Seniur class of the Southeastern State Normal by the Sponsor, Miss Myra Williams, of the faculty. The event occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Berger, on the everting February 22nd. The guests were received upon entering by Miss Priscilla Utterback, who was dressed to represent ‘’Liberty, The guests were asked to wear costumes representing some colonial characters of note, and a number of these characters were easily recognizable front the costume worn. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. Faulkner who impersonated John Alden and 92 Priscilla, on their way to church. John, gun on shoulder, Priscilla, praverbook in hand, meekly marching by John's side, holding his arm. The praverbook used by Mrs. Faulkner was one which had belonged to her great grandmother. Dr. and Mrs. Murdaugh were guests of honor There were three contests. The first was a story with words omitted, which when the omissions were filled with the name of some well known Bower, com- pleted the story. For the second contest, which was tor the gentlemen, paraffin was given with a request to mold the White House, In this Mr. Faulkner was winner and was awarded a mirature hatchet for his architectural skill. The young ladies were to try their skill as sculptors by moulding a bust of Washington. Mrs. Murdangh was the fortunate contestant in this, and received a small cherry tree with cherries. Punch was served by Miss Priscilla L tterback, after which the guests were cun ducted to an adjoining room where Air, Gilliland, dressed as Uncle Sam, was doling out the fortunes of the seniors in an alcove draped in the national colors. The house was beautiful in its appropriate decorations of the national flags and fac-si miles of the proverbial hatchet. A cherry tree stood in one corner with a threatening looking hatchet hanging against its hast. Brick ice cream in the red, white and blue, in which a miniature flag floated, and white cake was served. The favors consisted of small red hats bordered in white, of colonial style. This function was one of the most complete and beautiful which has occurred in Durant this season, but the guests say that the most charming feature of all was their little hostess. Miss Williams.

Each one was then given a pencil and a large paper and it was now Cupid who reigned over the festivities. Each boy and girl were paired off by means of male and female characters of note in history and literature, written on small red hearts drawn from a basket. The hoys were to write a proposal and each word in the proposal was to begin with some letter in the word 'valentine The girl was to answer and under the same regulations. The proposals were then read with their answers, by Mrs. THE HOLI S S O Caudill, and much amusement was derived therefrom. For the best proposal and answer a prize was awarded. The prizes were won by John Anderson and Miss Grace Dodson, and were a large valentine box of candy anil a large valentine.

So, far away in the dim future there may be another class resembling us, hut that another class will be quite such a marvel is impossible. History repeats itself under such circumstances? Never! From the first we were destined to be a wonderful class. It you will come with me to the Palace of Time and go back as far as the loth of September you will find some of our great deeds and striking characteristics recorded. Now read these slowly and thoughtfully and you will agree with all I have said: “Clifton Mackey was elected President of the Senior Class, He has brought his class up to the height of his own highness. Selah. “The Senior Class spent many hours with Plato, Socrates and Aristotle during the fall term and the wisdom they received from these great men was immeasurable. The girls liked Plato especially , because——-he wasn't married. Selah. “J. Custer Moore has added to the greatness of the class by inventing a new wav of analyzing sentences.’1 Selah. “The class has the honor of having as its members two of the greatest arguers in history—Mrs. A. W. Gilliland and Mrs, Verna Washington. Selah. “The class has two talented musicians—Miss Edith McKean and Miss Mary Nichols. Selah, One of Durant’s prettiest society belles is a member of the Class of 1913—Mis Ruth Cox. Selah. The Class of 1911 has two of the biggest talkers anil greatest flirts in Oklahoma —M iss Cecile Pcrkinson and Miss Edwardine Crenshaw. Selah. “One of the members of the class fell in love with the eighth grade hoys during practice work—Cammie Atkinson. Selah, “Edith Gragg added to the ‘Getonthegoodsideofhim' by giving Dr, Murdaugh a piece of her domestic science cake. Selah, “One of the members of the class, Eugenia Carter, was struck by one of Cupid’s arrow's and never recovered from the wound, Selah. “Bill Jones, Dan Stewart and Wells Thomason proved to be great orators. Selah, “Nearly every member has had several love affairs during the year, All have recovered except C. M. Bennett and Mary Nichols. Selah. “Velma French and Ruth Dickerson are world renowned conks.’ Selah, Oh, it would take us years to read all these records, so let’s stop here and salute the Class of 1913. who have mastered Pedagogy and Teaching and have en- deavored not to add a single white hair to the head of President Murdaugh. 95 Almkda Ada vis. The Junior-Senior Fight You may talk about our classes. Fair Freshmen ami gay Sophs. And the uppish Seniors Who argue with the Profs; No hand of jolly students Can ever come or pass. Or even try to match The merry Junior class. The other classes of the school seemed very well pleased with the same dreary, monotonous program of the noon hour, but to us. the fun-loving Juniors, variety and enjoyment appeared more essential, so wc decided to take our lunches and a kodak and spend the noon hour on the roof. There is but one means of access to the top of the building, and that is by a ladder in a small room on the third floor. Our class president obtained the key to this and led the way to our fortress by ascending the shaker wooden ladder. When the Seniors entered the assembly hall to eat their lunches they missed the Juniors and enquired about them. Learning that thc had not been asked to feast with the Juniors, they grew jealous and planned to keep us in our fortress. Slipping into the room where the ladder was they removed it, thus making our escape seem impossible, but Juniors always find a way. M eantime we had partaken ot an enjoyable feast, posed for several kodak pic- tures and were planning to have some foot races, when we heard a commotion on the grounds anil saw that crowds of students were watching us. We decided that some- thing was wrong and oon found that the ladder Was removed, Considering this a huge joke we amused ourselves in several ways until the hell rang for afternoon session. The Seniors obtained permission to guard the door the remainder of the after- noon. so wc decided to make a ladder and send a few members down to hear what plans were being made. A long piece of wire was discovered on the roof and we set to work and made loops in it so that a person could climb down, 1 he wire wa-? fastened to an iron rod, and three of us girls succeeded in descending. We heard man) snatches of conversation, something like this: 4tO my, but 1 am tired, Those Juniors certainly are plucky.” Seems as u they would beg to get down ' Do you suppose we arc going to miss the ball game?’’ 96 T H H O L I S S O Then vvc heard a plan to send to town for cheese, crackers and pickles to give us as a feast. When the eatables were sent out a small piece of paper with the follow- ing verse was found attached� written by a former student: If the cheese is old, And the crackers stale, Just eat the pickles And do not wail. We transmitted news to those on the roof by tying our notes to the wire ladder and letting the others pull it up. Knowing that the class which kept its colors for twenty-four hours would win the tight, we decided to make a flag. A napkin from a lunch basket was taken for the white, and then the question of the gold bothered us a few minutes, but in one corner of the little room were someone's football togs (We don’t want to know whose.), and frum these we got the stripes of yellow, tied the white with the yellow, and sent the combination up to those on the roof, where it was hoisted. By tins rime the Seniors were getting anxious to go to the football game to he called at three-thirty, so they began begging the Juniors to come down, which we did not care to do as we could see the game from the roof. The Senior president seemed especially anxious to get one of the Junior girls down and still not make her angry. So through his influence they promised to pay our way to the game and to give us a feast. The latter was enjoyed immensely, the special course being a raw mutton roast which we mint eagerly accepted because it represented the mutton heads of the Senior class. Each Senior escorted a Junior to the game and a general good time was enjoyed. B some mysterious means the Seniors learned that our colors were on the roof, so in the early dawn next morning a very tall slim figure was seen to steal up the walk leading to the Normal and the same figure was seen to take the colors down and disappear. It is doubtful which side won but we think the Juniors did. A J UN 10ft. 97 Faculty “Take-off” ,4(.)li wad some power the giftie gie us To see ourseh as others see us. It wad from many a folly free us. And foolish notion.” One day in March when the faculty members exchanged places with the seniors they little guessed how much was coming.

HOW THE JUNIORS WON The Junior of Vaughn College were idling around their class-room in Godb Hall discussing the coming events of commencement week, and whom they should elect as their class president. This seems a funny time of the year to be electing a class president so I must explain that at the beginning of the year they had elected Sam Hants Koontz as their president, Mr. Koontz being good looking and extremely popular with the girls had gained his office on account of his good looks and pop ularity. Now some two weeks before the date above mentioned a number of the students of aughn College had been dismissed for willfully going to a public dance, given by the Moose Lodge of Kemper, Missouri, after they had been refused per- mission to atend, and when the names of this unlucky number were read out. it wa found that Mr. Koontz was among those who were dismissed. Of course this meant a new order of business in the Junior class and that a new president must be elected. Now, two weeks from the time mentioned above, tile annual base-ball game between the junior and Senior classes was to be played. At a class meeting a day or two before one of the girls had suggested and her suggestion was accepted by the class that the election he postponed until after the big game and that the honor should then be conferred upon the buy who won the greatest hnntn for his class. It was determined that the Vice President v ould preside until after the game. As Koontz was an excellent pitcher the class indeed felt his loss in that respect. But there was Clem Hedrick, who always acted as substitute for Koontz and a good mam in the class had faith in him, believing that lie could take Sam’s place. There was another member of the Junior class, a boy from the country, who was studious, hard working and had always stood as an “A” student in Vaughn College: but because of his unassuming way he had never attracted much attention —we must not say that he was unpopular for he was not—but he was merely unnoticed. This fellow’s name was Virgil Porter. It was now just tine week before the Junior-Senior game and the boys of both classes were tin the athletic Held every evening after school trying out for the team of their respective classes. Of course Clem Hedrick was out and the Juniors wen staking their hopes on him. Virgil Porter would come out of evenings and watch the hoys practice,—yet he never dared to participate in the sports but always sat off to one side and complacently watched the others. One evening the Athletic Coach, Professor R istinc saw Virgil sitting off to o e side; he went to him and said “Porter did you ever play base-ball?11 “I have played a little,” replied the latter. Professor Ristine looked at him a minute and then resumed “Where did ou play?” “I played on the nine at home; 1 have pitched some.” Professor Ristine then continued. “Well get off your coat and come out and let me see what you can do, just come out in your ordinary clothes, for you won'r have time to go to the gymnasium after a suit.” V irgil thought for a moment, “What do they want with me ; I can’t play ball tn a team like this?” n r Professor Ratine thc n hati Hedrick go to thr bench and rest a minute, while he put Virgil in the box. At iirsr Virgil was nervous, but in this he determined to do, as he had always done in his classes and everywhere else, his best. He put a ball or two over and showed the coach that he had control that lie had speed, and that with practice and training, lie might do something. After practice that afternoon Professor Ristine told him to report for practice every afernoon from then on. Virgil came out every evening as he had been told and he seemed to show' great improvement. It was Thursday now and the game was to he played on Saturday. The excite- ment ran high, and every evening the grandstands were full of students who came out to watch the practice. Porter had made good, but coach Ristine thought that Hedrick had better pitch the game while Virgil Porter should he first substitute. The teams were playing this evening and Clem was in the box, Clayton Evans, the favorite home run hitter of the Seniors, was at the bat. Clem threw an out curve over the base and Clayton hit it, driving it straight at the pitcher, Clem raised his hands to catch it, hut as he did so he fell. Several of the boys rushed to him and carried him off the Held. They found that he had fainted, and that his right hand was swelling rapidly, for the ball had seriously injured it. He was carried to the house and when the physician arrived, he said that three of Clem s fingers were broken. Of course lie could not play ball and “GLOOM was now written on the faces of the Juniors, for it seemed as though the) would he defeated after all. They knew all their hopes of winning lay with Virgil. Could he pitch for so great an event? All knew that he would do hi best, so they believed tti him. Saturday came at last and the day dawned bright and dear. Ristinc would not let the boys practice any that morning, but said that they must rest. Two o’clock finally came and the crowds commenced to gather on the field. The hoys were in the gymnasium dressing while out on the field they could hear the different classes yelling. I he Freshmen were with the Juniors while the Sophomores were with the Seniors. As the team started for the field V irgil could hear the Juniors giving him 15 “RAHS. They were yelling for him—a little country boy. Right then he determined that he WOULD win that game if he possibly could. Just before the umpire Called, “Batter Up. Virgil went up into the grandstand to shake hands with Hedrick, and when Clem said, “Go on Porter I have faith in you for T know that you can pitch the game and that victory is in our reach,’1 he was, tor once in his life proud of himself. The Seniors were the first to the hat and they got one good hit from Virgil—but what did that matter, for that was only he first inning. The game was a tie for the first four innnings; [t seemed as though neither team could score and that the score must stand three to three. Porter kept his speed and his control so that the Seniors were not able to gain 011 him; while the fielding for the Juniors was good also. Evans was not pitching as well us Virgil and the Seniors realized this fact; but he had better Held support than Porter. But neither side had lost con Hence and both still felt certain of success. It was now the first half of the fifth inning and the Seniors were at the bat. The catcher called fur an out drop, but it seemed as though this was just what the Senior hatter wanted, for he drove a long fly away over the head of the center fielder. Thar put the Seniors in the lead. The next batter fanned. The score-keeper called Virgil to the bat—the first two were balls and the next one over, he struck at it and missed,— likewise the next ball, now was he going to fan out? The picher threw the hall over the base; Porter hit it and got tn first base. The next man to the bat was a better out- fielder than batter and fanned out. The Seniors seemed to yell louder than 11 11 2 ever, ami their old yell “Y-I C-T-O-R Y rang our very distinctly. Virgil Porter heard it and it seemed to burn into his very soul. He then determined to win that game at all hazards. As he started for the pitcher’s box he could hear the Juniors giving—uKer-YiM—for him. The next Senior to the bat was easily fanned, and the second one met the same fate, while the third one knocked a high fly which was caught by the catcher. This cheered Virgil somewhat, for he was determined that if the Seniors won the game that they would certainly have to play for it. As the first Junior walked to the bat his class gave a veil for him, but to no avail — for he fanned, the next two Juniors up met the same fate. The Seniors now became frantic and were harrassing the Juniors by yelling 'Boom-BoQm-JuniorsJuriiorH- Gloom-Gloom. The Juniors were so crestfallen that they couldn't get up enough life to give a yell. They sat still for it seemed as though defeat stared them in the face. During the eighth inning neither team scoreJ, while the disappointment of the Juniors increased almost to dispair. Poor Juniors If! The umpire called the first batter up at the beginning of the ninth inning; as it happened he was Evans, the star hitter of the Seniors. Porter thought, 'Oh if I could only fan him.” But this seemed impossible, for he had fanned out but twice since he had been a student in Vaughn College; and that was when the college team had played a practice game with the City Professional team. Virgil threw an incurve over the plate, which Evans struck at and missed, Evans thought that he had a snap with this pitcher and made up his mind to let the hall hit him so that he could take his base. When Virgil threw the next one over. Evans stepped in front of it and let it hit his leg. Hr then starred to take first base; but luckily, the umpire had seen his little game, so he was called out. The next two men fanned out. It was now the last half of the ninth inning and the score stood four to three in favor of the Seniors. Over in the grandstand the noise was deafening—the Seniors were frantic with joy. Poor Juniors! Halt beartedly they concluded that they still had a chance, that wonders could be done in one half inning, and that the) were not o near defeat as they thought they were. A little of their spirit came back, such yelling, begging, and pleading with their placet's as they did. It seemed as though they would go mad. Their lir.-t hatter came to the hat; he struck at, and missed the first two, then as the third one came over he knocked it past the shortstop and reached first base in safety. The next man up was Porter; now the noise was hushed, for the Juniors were afraid that if they yelled it might knock out their hope of success by ‘’rattling” Porter. The Seniors thought it useless. Virgil missed the first one that was thrown over anti the next one was an out drop ; he stepped over and hit it squarely, and as he did so he saw that it was a long high fly. That was all that was nceJed, for the man on first left and by an overthrow at third base Virgil was able to run in home. The Juniors were wild. The next batter put up a hravc fight, but it was useless, for he struck our. The crowd was wild. Pennants were flying and the noise was deafening. The Junior hoys rushed after Porter and put him on their shoulders while the girls were tiling his name, as only college girls can yell the name of their idol. He had won. His soul's desire had been gained. That night as Por ter sat at thr annual banquet, given by the President of the school to rhe winning class, and found himself chosen President of the Junior Class, be felt that it was the proudest moment of his life.

Thou peepest from the shady dell o low And lendest fragrance to the air at morn. The streamlet's banks thy flow’rets sweet adorn. Of all the sweetest flow'rets that come and go. There is not one of sweeter fragrance horn. Did angels bright descend from skies above Tu pencil those dark petals rich and rare, To store in thy fair face the love of youth? Thou whisper'st low; “No, 'twas God’s own great Love. He painted thee in thy rich beauty there, And bade thee to grow an emblem of the truth, M. TO THE MOON O Moon, thou glorious Moon with beauteous light. Thy beaming face with lustre shineth down. The world is stilled in sleep; there is so sound Whilst thou in splendor rdgnest o’er the night. Assisted by the twinkling stars so bright, Thy beams of gold do all the earth surround ; The hills and plains in wondrous light abound. And though dost bring sweet gladness in its height. When thou behind the clouds thy face doth hide, Foul Darkness o’er the world her wings doth spread. While Folly broods and evil spirits talk.; But whilst thou in the heavens doth abide. The evil spirits vanish and are dead; And Love and Beauty hand in band do walk. M.

THE H O L I S S O Advice to Students—and Faculty “Keep straight on to the gate That leads the way to the tilings which pay. Sooner or late you’ll master fate If vour hr art stays right And your code keeps white. Isn't it great To grasp success And not confess you’re one whit less In self-respect—that's nothing wrecked Which men count high f That you didn't buy with trick or lie— Nor stoop to cheat Better defeat With honor elean than to have been a thing obscene For money s sake. When you can take your first ideals up and scan Them one by one—when all is done— And find them without mar or hurt. i'nsmirched by greed and clean of dirt. Then you’re sonic man.” POEM Our band is gay, hoth day and night. Our leader frank and bold ; And all Southeastern trembles As Juniors names are told. Our fortress is the high housetop, Our camp, the art room spare. We know the building which we haunt A lions know their Lair. Woe to the Sophistrous Sophs. Who little dread us near. On them shall come at midnight A strange and sudden fear. Well knows the learned faculty The class that Lively leads. The record of its earnest toil— The rate at which it speeds. Great pedagogues in all the land. Yes. man with knowledge great; Have ryes upon the Juniors At school they're never late, So know the present reaching world. You'll MK n be inside out. When our gay hand picks up the rod. Knowledge is spread about. 124 —B. N , '14.

The freshness of youth was ever possessed by those who made apples their principal diet. Certain it is that there is no food so valuable. Apples nourish the brain and spinal cord. They contain phosphorus, albumin, sugar, gum, chlorophyll� malic acid, gallic acid, vegetable fiber and water. They cure gout and rheumatic disorder and exercise a beneftcicnt influence on the liver and stomach. Ripe apples and bread as a diet will do more to restore health than drugs.

THE PSALM OF LIFE (Apologies to Longfellow) Tell me not in mournful numbers That an English exam’s due, For now long ago has left me All the wisdom 1 once knew. School is real 1 School is earnest! And a high grade is the goal! But our lack of quick remembrance Often puts us in a hole. Habits of these Profs, remind u We can't make our lives sublime For, departing leave behind us.

N Sing Muse the strife, the fierce strife, that arose when the well-formed men of East Central contended in football with the dauntless Southeasterners. For the hold Coy dear to Luna, led forth Ids well greaved men to do battle with the unconquerable men fit Guy, son of Dickerson; for he thought, fond man, to win an easy victory. Swiftly we sped from our prison-like dwelling to Ada, in the black hollow train, and when we had disembarked we roamed over the town rejoicing in our freedom; and full many cigarettes we bought and smoked them one by one. Then ate we our dinner, nor did any soul of us lack ought of a perfect feast. And when we had put away from ourselves; the desire of food and drink we arrayed ourselves in our well- fitting armor and hastened to the level gridiron, the delight of heroes. There fount! we the swift footed Jones and his dauntless East Central team eager to do us battle; and about them and on every side was a multitude of yelling men. Like unto men in a political convention were they yelling, even a Democratic convention which has met perchance in Denver or Baltimore and when the name of Wilson is mentioned they all yelled wildly and nominated him for president. Even thus they were yelling and Fatty the Cassidy was leading them and with him were Greenway the loud-mouth and Martin the empty headed. Then the two hosts drew near for battle and the fair minded herald blew his shrill whistle anil the dauntless Southeasterners rushed forward and kicked mightily the oval pigskin and it arose gracefully into the air. Like unto an airship it arose, even the most modern airship which at first arises into the air like a bird and the crowd assembled to see a castrophe, cheer but arc disappointed at heart, for soon it falls and is broken to pieces and the luckless aeronaut comes to black death; and the crowd departs satisfied. Even thus rose the oval pigskin into the air and as it fell an East Central man caught it and returned it ten yards. Then the East Central hosts bucked the Southeastern line fiercely even like wild Irishmen who have assembled fifty in number at a neighbor's wake and being full of bad whisky they begin lighting fiercely and continue until the patrol wagon carries them all away to the loathsome police station. Even thus fiercely they bucked the Southeastern line hut soon lost the coveted pigskin. The Southeasterners bucked the Fast Central line even so fiercely they soon crossed the well guarded goal for a touchdown. Then were the East Cen- trals amazed and the multitudes around about grew silent and some knocked on the ream but Fatty the Cassidy cussed in Irish, the mellifious tongue of his dear father- land. Then the swift-footed Jones aroused his men undaunted for battle and soon did his host cross the well guarded goal line. Then did the quarterback of the Fast Central host throw the oval pigskin to Brents, leader of the host, and he fleetly running dashed across our well guarded goal line. And ever the conflict raged on until the loud whistle sounded like the thunder of the mighty Zeus and the hosts drew 135 The State Normal School DURANT.
