5 52q Dr. Edmund Dandridck Murdauc.h 8 f CREETINC u? 8 In preparing this, the third volume of The HolisSO,” we have attempted to portray the hest features of the school. It is nut without some diffidence that wc place it in jour hands for inspec- tion. Our work has been earnest; but we do not churn perfection. All that wc ask is that you treat our virtues kindly and out faults blindly. If these pages are found to represent life in Southeastern. if in the future it will serve us the means of cheer- ing you, if in old age it will revive the scenes of youth, we feel we shall he fully repaid. We hope that this number will bind every graduate, teacher, and class more closely to our Alma Mater, With these words we greet you. 9 “An Appreciation TO THE HONORABLE WILLIAM A.

D.t and which is a potent factor in this portion of the universe not only matrimonially, but educationally as well; I believe in Dr. Mutdatigh who hails from the grand old state of Virginia; who has been the worthy recipient of many honors in this and other states; who was elected the chief executive of this institution; and who sitteth in the office, from thence he shall come to tell us to turn square corners, single hie to the right, keep out of the lockers, et-cetera; 1 believe in Thorndyke, the writer omnipotent of things psychic and pedagogical; and in Bagiev who has daily attempted to impress upon our minds the importance of Herbart's Five Formal steps in the art of injecting knowledge into the heads of the youth of this Land; who has faithfully and efficiently instructed us in the exercise of our duty toward those youngsters who are given to indulgence in the harmless diversions of lighting and throwing paper-wads, I believe in Monroe, Horn, and Williams, without which learned trio we should have escaped many happy and profitable hours of study endeavoring to absorb, assimilate and digest the teachings of the illustrious three, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle- I be lievc in Gieke, in Stamper and in Kirkpatrick, without whose works we should lack much of the wisdom we are supposed to possess; I believe in practice teaching, in appealing to the higher nature of the future citizens of tins land when that higher nature is present, but when it non est 1 believe in resorting to the old fashioned device, commonly designated as “Hickory Tea”; I believe in making lesson plans; in the Thursday afternoon teachers’ meetings; in frequent and amicable class meetings; in numerous and rigid examinations, and in a strict system of grading. 1 believe in laughing at all of the teachers' jokes even though they may be of the antideluvian type ; I believe in attending chapel exercises regularly and in listening attentively to the edifying remarks of visitors upon the beauty and magnificence of our buildings and grounds, I believe in singing “My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean” and other songs of like nature—their depth of meaning and the sentiment they express have a peculiarly inspiring effect upon the younger seekers of knowledge, besides affording great pleasure to the head of the pedagogical department, I believe in propounding the most irrelevant questions w hich only a Senior’s mind can solve; and debating every statement made—all of which takes up time. In conclusion, 1 believe the educational world should recognize the merits of our creed, and should award to us as followers of such a creed a cheese medal in recognition of our heroic efforts against the vicissitudes encountered during our educational career.

Dodson Ml ss Alice McKinney During the winter term, a few of the former members of the Delta Literary So ciety expressed a desire of organizing a dub for the purpose of studying the works of some of the English writers. With the ready co-operation of Dr. Murdaugh. Mr. Dodson and Miss Alice McKinney, this desire culminated in the organization of the Shakespearian Club—a club which has for its sole purpose the development of literary appreciation through the study of Shakespeare's best works. Although few in number, the members of the club make up in zeal and interest for their deficiency in number, and the club has been actively engaged in the work from the date of its organization. It is the purpose of the chib to study three or more classics, both tradegies and comedies, through the remainder of the year. The dub began work with Henry VIIL, and at each meeting one act was studied, the lesson being conducted by one of the members of the club, who followed a plan similar to that employed by teachers of literature. The next classic which the dub will take up is The Tempest. The only regret which the members of the club have is, that they did not organize sooner. 55 The Southeastern Debating Club Officers: M. U. Ltvfxy G. E. Dk:kerson Fail and It infer Term , . President Secretary and Treasurer R. V- Jennings Holus Hampton Spring 'Term . President Secretary and Treasurer The dub came together after a very pleasant vacation fully prepared to take up the work of the Fall Term. After many interruptions during the football season they took up the real work of preparing a debating team to take part in the triangular de- bate on the east side of the state. The tryout, or elimination contest, was held this year on March the ninth. The buys seemed to be so evenly matched that it was a hard matter for the judges to decide which four should represent Southeastern in the annual debate. There were nine who hoped to make the team, many of them new men. Even though the judges did decide who should represent the school, anj one of the five who lost could easily step forward and take one of the winners' places. The high standing made by the representatives nf last year shall live forever in the minds of those who love Southeastern. How dose we came to he the premier debaters of the state is only realized when it is remrmberrd that the team lost by one and one-fourth points; that one of our debaters made the highest grade in thr state; and that the opposing team had been in debating contests tor four preceding years. The club stands for honor, truth fullness, and manhood. Its purpose is to train young men to fight the problems that will confront them when they leave the school- room, That the club lives up to its ideals is shown hy the useful and capable lives of its former anJ charter members. These charter members are gradually thinning out now. but the present membership strive to preserve and follow the excellent examples of their predecessors- 5fi Top Row, Left to Right ('rudup, Noble, Rodgers, Ctidd, Helhach.

Secretary-Treasurer The Pierian Literary Society was organized in 1012, and since that time has been doing good work, having twenty-six earnest workers at the present time. The aim of this society is to furnish opportunity for practice in public speaking, debating and rhetorical training. The society meets on Wednesday afternoon from three to four o’clock, when an interesting and instructive program is rendered. These programs consist of readings, essays, current events, debates, orations, piano solos, original stories, vocal solos, and various contests. You will not need to be told of the excellence which has always characterized the work of this society if you will but visit us once w hile we are in session, or consider the high positions held by many of our former members in the Dramatic Club, Debat- ing Club and other societies. Let us as members of the Pirrian Literary Society strive at least rn retain what has hem established, and may kind fortune and worthier ambitions lead us all to iarger conquesrs and a nearer vantage view of our goal 1 5« 5 Place Aux Dames Motto: True art is to conceal art Colon: Baby blue and gold Flower: Jonquil Omcrrs: Gladys Davis Sue Petty Ruth Abbott . .

During the tail term the membership committee was busy seeking new and desirable members. As he result of their work the Place Aux Dames'1 is now the leading girl’s literary society in school. Members are limited to twentt in number. The club was full until one of its most popular members Miss Fannie Williams, married. This society is somewhat different from the regular literary society, that is, its work, is planned somewhat differently- This year’s work has consisted of the study of several of Shakespeare's plays; some of the works of minor playwrights; the art of story -telling; and occasional miscellaneous programs. As none of the girls are suf- fragette, the debate appears on the program only at times. The Place Aux Dames' is the name by which this society is known at South- eastern. Iri connection with other Normal Schools over the state it is known as the Young Ladies' Oratorical and Dramatic Association. The members lament the fact that one of their number was not chosen to represent the school in the reading contest at Edmond, hut are justly proud of the representation and showing made by the Utopian reader. Miss Abbott, Mrs- Jo Lou Adams, who trained Miss Abbott, is the Faculty member nf this society and takes great interest in it and its work About one-third of the present membership is composed of Seniors who will leave their places vacant in May. The society has the delightful custom of retaining all of its former members as honorary members. The Senior girls are especially glad of this, and in the future, when they think of their Alma Mater, they will also think of that society of which some of them were charter members, the Place Aux Dame .'

This is first of all, a good time1' club. Nothing pertaining to books, labora- tories. teachers or pedagogy is permitted to be present when the meetings are held.

While there arc other dubs in school, we Texans feel that we should rank first, for we arc proud of the reputation of our ancestors and the history of our native state. We love and revere the narnes of Sam Houston, David Crockett, Stephen F. Austin, Deaf Smith. Howie and the brave Travis. We hold very dear the Alamo—San Jacinto and Independence day. So we ask the rest of the Clubs 10 respect us, the loyal sons and daughters of the Lone Star State. 66 KliJO X 73 � 0 S I «■= I I L- 3 •r £ s ; s ■ 3 — 3- £' “■ 3 A 73 1 z a. n , ■0 s 5= 2 = 5; w. f J = „ x 5 o ft. t w s =3 c “ - =? ?

It was organized merely for spite and really had no social intensions whatever, hut their first meeting proved to be such a success that a continuation of these meetings was decided upon. “Les Soeurs” made their fifst appearance one bright morning all robed in green and armed with whistles, to show the world that this club would never die of lung disease. The sole aim of this club was to keep the meaning of her name from the ‘‘Boys.’1 Each member was solemnly “sworn in and hints of raw oysters and turpentine were spread broadcast as the dire punishment of those who proved unfaithful. Neverthe- less, it got out. and every corner we would turn we would either see or hear “The Sisters ’ our secret held so dear. The best detectives in the world have been secured to uncover this deadly crime, but so far, no clue whatever has been found. After hav- ing been so greatly disappointed we decided, after long and thoughtful meditation, as a cure for our broken hearts to take up the art of housekeeping as a more settled occu- pation. Wc are learning fast and have not been disheartened despite the fact of our slic ed fingers and our burn-ed hands. Eveo broken dishes and ruined dresses do not daunt us. So, thanks to the Rho Alpha Rho who started the fuss which angered the girls so greatly that they organized a club which ha? grown and flourished in the dear old school of “Southeastern. 70 71 Rho Alpha Rho Motto: Onward and Upward Colors: Green and Red Aim: To Better Ourselves and Society at Large Memht-rs: ”Eut ” Shuler, B.

Miss Alice McKinney has hern at the head of the department since the first year the Normal School opened� in 1909, For two years� during 1909 and 1911 the State Board of Fduration allowed an assistant in this department, but since then all the instruction has been given by the one teacher. The enrollment in the piano department has always been large, but at time 0 many have desired lessons in piano that the could he accomodated only after school l ours, and then a large number had to be transfered to a waiting list. Credits arc now received for work in piano the same as in other subjects. This indicate that the value of music as an educational agertC) i now becoming generally recognized. There are several students in school taking special work in this department who hope to go forth some day and teach other and smaller students the rudiments of the five lines and four spaces. Utopian Orchestia Southeastern 1ms no organization of which she is any prouder than she is of the Utopian Orchestra. After several fruitless attempts to organize an orchestra in preceding years. Miss Brown succeeded this year in organizing these excellently trained musicians into an orchestra. They are all very proud of being Utopians, hence their name. They never fail to give their time and efforts to any school activity which they can help make a success. By placing for this year’s opera, 11 Bui-Bui, they added greatly to the attractiveness of that performance. They have given several concerts in assembly which the students enjoyed. When Judge Williams made his initial campaign speech, the orchestra was on hand to furnish the music. Ac the Commence- ment exercises they led the long pocession of the Chorus, Seniors and Faculty. It is to he hoped that this organization will continue in its good works; That new musicians will find a place in their box; and rhat in a few years it may have the distinction of being the ''Utopian Band ’ 79 Bul-Bul A COMIC OPERETTA Presented b South kastfrn Choral Club Kin r iamit (Bass) CAST A well meaning, hut fussy little monarch Mr. Carroll Franks Princess Bul-Bul (Soprano) .....

However, the school has had the good fortune of having many good things this year. From left to right in the above group arc Misses Gladys Davis, ist soprano; Bess Davis. 2nd soprano; Sue Petty, alto; and Isabelle Brown. 2nd alto. The girls began practice m the fall term, and have been m training ever since. Their first open pro- gram was given before the students and invited guests on the twentieth of December. Perhaps their most successful effort was made on their visit to Idabel. Here, assisted by representatives from the Piano and Expression Departments, and by Miss Anna Paullin, violinist, they gave an evening's entertainment before the County Teacher’s Association convened at this place. 1 here has been a demand for their numbers on local programs, and they are always ready to help and assist any worthy cause.

Coach Laird has been with the Southeastern Normal School for the last five years in the capacity of Director of all athletics. In his work with the different football teams, he has shown his power of making iootball teams. He is kind, but firm with the boys and never has any trouble in getting the men to work. He shows his interest in the team and the boys and this makes him admired by the team and the school at large. He knows how to train a bunch of bo s to get the best work out of them. This is shown by the way he has taken the small squads that reported and made the winning teams that the Normal has had for some time. Everyone is proud of our coach, because we know that there is none better in the land. i W. T. Dodsoy. M linage r- Phis is the first year that we have had Mr, Dod- son as our manager, but he has shown himself to be one of the best in the state. From the first of the season, he had games arranged for the team that were of some importance. On account of his financial capacity, ihe iootball team of the closing ear paid all expenses. This is the first time in the history of the school that this has happened, al- though the team of last year was only a very few dollars behind. Manager Dodson would see to it that the hoys on the team had all tliev could ear while on a trip. This is probably one cause for the tact that the team all liked him so well. The school should be glad to have a manager like him. 87 Champions gf The Oklahoma Normal Schools Walter Chitwood. Right Half and Captain. Height, 5 ft., 9 in.; Weight, 150; Age, 22. Chitwood came out the first evening of practice and began to work for his old position. He held down his position so well the last season that he did not have an opponent in the race for right half this year, hut this did not make him work any the less. In fact Chitwood is a man that is in condition all the time. This was one of the points that secured the position of captancy for him for the closing sea- son- His quick “get away” and his fast running coupled with his steady head work made many great gains for the team. He not only played a great offensive game, but he was always in the right place to keep the opponents from making a successful pass. This was the Cherokee’s third year on the team, having played right half in ’ll and ’12. He made the position of right half on the All State Normal Team. It is hoped he wrill be back next season. 88 W. A. Durant. (Spot) Right End. Height, 5 ft., 6 in.; Weight, 140; Age, 20. Spot, the Prince of Football, has been with us for the last four years. He played at quarter and end for the three years preceeding this. He came out at the first day of practice and began for the position of right end. This he easily made because of his excellent head work in the interference and the re- markable way he would receive passes. Enough men could not get around him to make him miss the ball- He was good in the offensive game and if anything he was stronger in the defensive game. He was awarded the position of right end on the All Star Normal Team. I 1 1 Guy Dickerson. Quarter Back. Height, 5 ft., 11 in.; Weight, 145; Age, 22. This makes the fourth year for Dickerson. He played end in ’10, T 1, and ’12. This year he came out for quarter and proved that he could play at quarter as well as he could at end. Dickerson was the fastest man on the team and if the opposing team did not watch him very close, he would get right up and leave them. He made some very re- markable gains, once as much as 93 yards. Dicker- son is one of the best and fastest football men in Oklahoma. He was given the position of quarter back on the All Star Normal Team, and all who know him know that he is well fitted for the place. 89 Grady Wann. Left Tackle. Height, 5 ft-, n in.; Weight, 180; Age, 21. Grady came out for practice in the fall of ’ 11 and made the regular team with little effort. He has worked hard for the past three years and has always made good. Grady was never what you would call fast, but he was always sure. When in a tight the team could always rely upon his strength and level head to break through the line and stop the play before it was started. One of the remarkable things that can be said about his record is that during the three years he has been on the team he has played in every game. He was selected as left guard for the All Star State Normal Team for the past season. The team will miss him very much next year, but he will no doubt be a star on some University team. Floyd Hagood. Center. Height, 6 ft., 3 in.; Weight, 185; Age, 22. Floyd, better known as “Tiger,” was the star center for our bunch this year. He was not with us last year, hut was attending Missouri University. He was wdth us in ’io and showed up wrell at that time. “Tiger” is noted for his sure passes and for always butting the other center out of the game in a few minutes. He also did great work in the de- fensive game by getting about a yard behind the line and dumping the first opponent that tried to pass his way He w'as unable to play in the Thanksgiv- ing game because his arm was broken in the game the week before. We are sorry he will not be with us next year, but that will not keep him, for “Alas” he is a senior. 90 Oscar Palmer. Height, 5 ft., il 2 in.; Weight, 165; Age, 19. Oscar is a man who has been playing South- eastern football as long as any man on the team. He played quarter and half on the teams of ’10, ’ll, ’12, and left end this year. He was as steady as an old plow mule, and would never get scared no mat- ter how large the opposing team was. His slogan was, “The bigger they are the harder they will fall.’' From the way he would dump them you would think he meant every word of what he said. He is a good quarter and a better end. He will never allow a man to come around his end without get- ting him. Palmer is decidedly one of the best players we have. Look out for him next year. A 1 11 Rudolph Helbach. Right Tackle• Height, 6 ft., y2 in.; Weight, 175; Age, 21. This season makes the third for Helbach “The Dutchman,” having played in 10 and at left half last year. Because of his strength and power of tearing through the opponent’s line, he is considered one of the best men of the team. He was extra good in getting through the opponent’s line and breaking up plays and blocking kicks, and is good at receiving passes and in running interference. It was on his head work and receiving of passes that he was able to score so many points in the season. He is fast on foot and a sure tackle. He will be with us next year. 91 Imagine any kind of person whom you choose in this place. “Nut” was to “nutty” to have his picture made. Elmer Early. Right Half. Height, 5 ft., ii in.; Weight, 160; Age, 21. This was Elmer’s third year on the team- He played half in ’11 and ’12 and came out at the first of the season to try out for his old place. This he had no difficulty in getting, because of his excellent work in the previous years. It is hard to say just where “Nut’s” strongest points are, for he is an all-round man and always in the game. Early was sure to get every pass that came his way and indeed he was one of the best passers on the team. He never allowed the opposing team to “put one over him” on the passing business. He is also a senior. Alexander Bateman. Full Back. Height, 6 ft., Weight, 185; Age, 23. This was Bateman’s first year with us, but not his first year to play football, for he has played with some of the best teams in Texas. At full, Bate- man was a terror. He would plough through the line just like there was no one in his way at all. He is the man that invented the passing of a football. He could pass the ball so far that the opposing team would never know where to look for it- His inter- ference was almost perfect and he had a way of in- fusing new life into the team which helped in many ways. In the Thanksgiving game Bateman was unable to play the whole game, but the game was won before he had to leave. He was awarded the position of full back on the All Star Normal Team. He was elected Captain for the coming year. Please excuse Bateman for not having his picture made, for he com- mitted matrimony. 92 Waller Johnson. Guard and Center. Height, 6 ft.; Weight, 173; Age, 18. Johnson was a sub last season, but came out the first day and showed that it was in him to play foot- ball. Despite the fact that he had to take 10 rounds for smoking, he was in the game from start to finish. “Crip” showed rare ability in getting through the opponent’s line and tackling the man carrying the ball for a loss. His offensive playing was exceptionally good. He showed up good in the Thanksgiving game at center, the regular center having gotten his arm broken the week before, and he proved that he could play center as well as guard. Lookout for Johnson next season- Shawnee Browtn. Right Guard. Height, 6 ft.; Weight, 199; Age, 21. This was Brown’s first year to play at football. He came out with a determination to win, and despite the fact that he had never seen a game of football, he soon proved himself a football player. At plunging the line, there was none better. On the offensive he played a good game and would al- ways stop his man on the defensive. In the Thanks- giving game, he played the best game he had ever played. Everyone will be glad to know that Brown will be back with the team in the coming season. 93 Grady Johnson. Sub. Height, 5 ft., u in.; Weight, 230; Age, 17. Fatty came out at the first of the season and, on account of his weight, almost everyone thought he would not be able to make the team, but he stayed with the work and before the season was very far advanced he was placed on as sub. He did some excellent work in the line. In every game that he played, he never let a man get by him. All he had to do to stop his man was to lay down in front of him- He would never get around him in time to get anywhere. Despite his weight and his necessary slowness, he made a reputation in the Thanksgiving game by stoping so many men. Carl Helbach. Sub. Height, 6 ft-; Weight, 172; Age, 19. Carl came out the first day and was steady at work all through practice. He showed the right qualities to make a good football player and if he is in next year he will get a good position on the team. He played in several games and showed the fighting quality of an old veteran. When the call is made for volunteers in the coming year you keep your eye on Carl and watch his work. He will tackle even harder and faster than he did this year. Carl Maxey. Sub. Height, 5 ft., 10 in.; Weight, 155; Age, 20. This is the first year that Carl has tried to make the team. He came out and made the only all-round sub we had. He was an all-round sub in all that is in the word. He played at any position in the team and was equally at home in one as the other. He played mostly as sub quarter and did excellent work. At full, he would plunge through the line for great business. Lookout for Carl next year for he will make a good man in any position. 94 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Dates S. E. N. Op. Oct. 4th. Tishomingo A. M IOI O Oct. nth. Dallas University 6 7 Oct. 17th.

Ada State Normal 53 13 Total 325 23 The prospects for a winning team for the season of 1913 were very good despite the fact that several of the men on the team the year before failed to come to school. The members of the last year’s team who did not come to school were Atkinson, Hamil- ton, Bryant, Moore, Jones, and Collins. This seemed a great number to loose, but there were new men to take their places. For the vacant places, there appeared on the first day of practice more than enough men to fill all of them. Among the new men were Johnson, Brown, Maxey, Helbach, and Bateman. Also Hagood, one of the men of 1911, reported for a place on the team. On the first day out for practice, which was the first day of school, Coach Laird called his men together and told them what he expected of them for the season. There being so many new men, he gave the squad a lecture on regular hours of sleep and the things they were expected to eat as well as the things they were not to eat. After this, with a few rounds the field, the squad w as dismissed for the first day. For a few days there was not enough men to make two teams for skirmage work, but in a very short time there was a second team out that would hold the men trying for the first team tQ a very tight score- With the twTo teams. Coach Laird began the work of making one of the best and most successful football teams in the history of Southeastern. After some days of signal practice and team work, the second and the first teams were allowed to skirmage almost every evening until a day or two before the first game. The first game was with Tishomingo A. M., on October 4th. Their team came to our grounds a very formidable looking foe. They were all large husky Indians and of the type that do not care how hard they hit. When our boys came on the field, they were met with a loud yell from the large number of students that were crowding the grandstand. There is no use in going into the details of the game more than to state 95 that everyone on the team did everything that was expected of them. The score tells the rest, ioi to o for S. E. N. The next game was with our old time foe, Dallas University. Our team went to Dallas with the expectation of winning the game, but because of some “hard luck” were unable to make enough scores. Our boys were not discouraged because they did not win this game however- They came home with the determination to fight all the harder for the remaining games. Their success is apparent from the schedule. This being the only game of the season that did not come out victorious for Southeastern, the score was 7 to 6, in favor of Dallas U. On October the 17th, the team of the Tahlequah Normal came to our grounds. On the day the game was scheduled it rained so that the game was postponed until the following day. Our boys did fine in this game as is shown by the score of 26 to o in favor of the Southeastern Normal School. This was the second time our team has beaten the Indians from Tahlequah. On November the 1st, after many stops and misfortunes, our boys arrived in Wilburton about 3 :oo in the afternoon and played a game with the School of Mines at that place. The game was a hard one and in this game Brown got his head hurt. This did not seem to make any difference with him for when he got home he went to work as hard as ever. He was determined to get revenge. This game ended with the score of 33 to 3 in favor of S. E. N. The next game, November 7th, was with Ouachita College in Arkansas. This was one of the hardest games ever fought on any gridiron. Their team outweighed our team about 20 pounds per man- This did not scare our boys at all, but only made them play all the harder to win. The score was o to o. Burleson College came to our gridiron for the next game. This game was not so hard as the other games. Our men soon caught their signals and then it was easy to break up their plays. Everyone played a star game in this contest. This is evident from the score of 87 to o in favor of S. E. N. The next game was one that caused a great deal of excitement. Dallas Univer- sity came to our gridiron. She had beaten us some time in the first of the season and everybody was anxious to see the game. Our boys were in to win this game and re- cover the glory lost in the former defeat. The game was a hard fought one from the start. Dallas University had some of the hard fought one from the start. Dallas University had some of the best football men of the southwest, but that did not have any effect on our team. The boys were all in to get the bad men and in a very short time had got their best men to where they could do nothing that would hurt them- Greggs, the all-star halfback, was not given a chance to show any of his great work. Someone had him before he could get started. In this game Hagood got his arm broken. This was a great blow to us in the Ada game. The score of this game was 19 to o for S. E. N. 96 The last game of the season was the one that our boys and school had to win. On November 27th, we met Ada on our home gridiron and a battle royal was fought. Ada came a train load strong and with the intention of winning the game of the season. Although Coach Laird had to make a new center for this game inside a week, he was equal to the occasion and had Johnson in trim for the game. Again, we had bad luck for our star fullback had to go to the bedside of his sick mother and did not get to play ball all the game. When the game was called there was a great crowd around the fence at the fair grounds. Everyone was wild to know how the game was going to start. When the whistle blew, both teams were ready and wanting to go. Our boys had the best of the game from the start to the finish, because of superior playing and team work. Everyone on the team made star plays in this game and none could be criticised for the game of the season- The last thing of note was the manner in which Ada left town. They came in with their whistles blowing and colors flying, but when they left no one was able to tell. They came in like a lion, but went out like a hare. On the whole, this has been Southeastern’s most successful year in football. By winning the Thanksgiving game the State Championship of Normal Schools was secured. Without a doubt, Southeastern is on the map to stay. When the All Star State Normal Team was chosen, five of Southeastern’s boys won places on the team. Three of the football eleven graduate in May, but no doubt their places will be filled by men who will maintain the excellent records made in the season of 1913. 97 99 LOIS JA'ft'rt'EvU Girls’ Basketball Team S. E. N. Op. Atoka 26 9 Mad ill 33 14 Denton i7 14 Ada 16 8 The girls’ basketball team was one of the strongest in the history of the school. Most of the old team of last year was out for positions this year and ail secured their old positions. The old team girls were Lois Jarrell, Bess Nolen, Carrie May Stephen- son, and Elsie Wann. Others out for positions were Clarice Jenkins, Zavlon Yates, Anna Paulin, and Lottie BifHe. Clarice Jenkins is one of the old Sherman High School players and is well worthy of the reputation she had before coming to us. We are always glad to have a player of note from other schools come and play on our team. The other girls of the team are too well known to need much mention only to say that Lois Jarrell had her old time form at the position of forward. Everyone who knows her is aware of her excellent work. The two guards were always on the job and guarding the opposing players. Carrie May Stephenson and Elsie Wann were the guards this year. Bess Nolen, Captain, had her old form of playing with her this year. She is little, but “Oh so fast’’ that it is almost impossible to get around her. The center position was filled by Zaylon Yates, being the only new one on the team, it took her longer to get in condition, but nevertheless she was soon taking her part of the game. She is tall and well qualified to fill this position- Taking all things into consideration, the team of this year was a very successful one. The things that made this possible other than the excellent material to work with, was the excellent Coaching of Coach Laird, and the help of the Team Chaperon. M iss Hallie McKinney. 100 101 ' : i 1 Boys’ Basketball Team SCHEDULE S. E. N. Op. Atoka ...................................io 26 Denton ..................................30 36 Atoka ...................................34 23 Atoka .....................•.............23 18 Ada .....................................18 18 There were several out for basketball this year that did not come out last year. Helbach (Bros.) .Palmer, Durant, and Wann were the ones selected for the team. Rudolph Helbach played at center at his usual gait and made it hard for anyone to get the ball on the start. With Durant and Palmer for forwards, the team had a very strong lineup. The guards were both new men on the team. Carl Helbach, and Wann playing these positions. One thing that made it very easy on the Basketball team was the fact that every- one on the team was on the football team. They did not have to go in training for so long before they could play. Other things were the fact that there was a fast second team to practice with, and the fact that we have one of the best places and the best Coach to train the boys that there is in the country. Everyone was always in the game from start to finish, with all the vim and vigor that one could desire to see. The season was cut short on account of the fact that most of the team wTere in the play Bul-Bul and had to stay out of practice so much. But despite this, the team had a very successful season- 102 Southeastern Oklahoma Inter-High School Track and Field cTUeet The track meet held this year was the largest and most successful one that has ever been held in the history of Southeastern Oklahoma. More than twenty High Schools entered for the various events. Boswell defeated Hugo in the Girl’s Basketball finals by a score of 26 to 12. Freeman and Darrow, of Hugo, won in the students’ tennis finals, over the McAlister team in straight sets. Freeman, of Hugo, won in the students’ singles over London, of Ardmore, in a very hotly contested game. The Track and Field Meet was held Saturday afternoon under very unfavorable conditions.

The aim for this year has been threefold,— (i) to heighten the moral standing of the school; (2) to forward a social and friendly spirit among the girls; (3) to change peoples’ lives from self centered ones to God centered ones. The regular meetings have been held on Sunday afternoons at the homes of the girls. These meetings are devoted to bible and missionary study, and practical lessons obtained from talks given by influential men and women of Durant. A reception was given to all new students at the beginning of the year at the home of Miss Ola Human. During the holidays a bazaar and tea were given at the home of Mrs. A- Linscheid. This affair was very successful both socially and financially. The poor were not forgotten during the Christmas season. A mission class has been organized and new officers have been elected. The asso- ciation promises to be an efficient and helpful instrument in the school next year. 106 Young Men’s Christian Association Officers: Don Rodgers ...... President Harry Nobles ..... Vice-President Rudolph Helbach . . . Secretary-Treasurer Grady Wann .... Corresponding Secretary The Y. M. C. A. work in the Southeastern has been neglected for some time past. In 1911, the association was organized and kept in running order for some time, but it finally dwindled away until there was no association at all. The work was not again taken up until this year. Some time before Christmas, Dr. Murdaugh spoke of the excellent work of Y. M- C. A. organizations and sug- gested that the boys organize at once. Several of the young men of the school interested themselves in the movement at once and the organization was perfected the week be- fore Christmas. The president appointed his committees and a cabinet was formed. This body met and framed a constitution and by-laws. These were brought before the associa- tion, and after some alterations, were adopted. The work of the association has been good so far. Although the attendance has been small, the members show an interest in the work, and with Prof. A. V. Hamilton as advisor there is no doubt that before long the number of members will be larger and still more interest will be manifest. There is talk of organizing a city Y. M- C. A., that is, one among the boys of Durant. The Southeastern organization has added impetus to that movement, and it can safely be said that a city organization will soon grow out of this one which these Christian young men have organized. 107 Triangular Debate CHE true ideal of oratory like that of painting and sculpture is only at- tainable through culture.” The young men of the Southeastern Debating Club believe this and in order to rear stronger minds and develop sublimer heights of dignity and power, they have for several years worked toward victory in debates. Many of their members have won laurels and honors for the club as well as for the school and in later life will reap greater rewards. Their chief efforts have been and always will be to win the Triangular Debate which is held annually. Last year they won from Ada and Tahlequah. The twenty-seventh of March of this year was a great day for the Southeastern State Normal School. The debaters from the East Central Normal School, came, saw, and were conquered. The debating team accompanied by President Briles, was met by the students and faculty of Southeastern in a body. The Ada debaters evaded us during the parade given in their honor, but when time for the debate came they ap- peared ready for us. The question, “Resolved, that the United States Should Own and Operate All Railroads Within Our Territory,” was admirably defended by Messrs- Hale and Simmons of Ada. Mr. Shillings and Mr. Crudup so forcibly defended the negative that it made Ada feel bad. Mr. Peppers, of Austin College, the referee, decided in favor of the negative. This added another star in the crown of the Debating Club. During this time similar events were being held in Ada and Tahlequah and similar decisions were rendered. The negative won in every place. Our affirmative speakers at Tahlequah lost the debate, but they won the determination to win next year, so after all it was victory. The girls of the Southeastern likewise realize the value of public speaking and as a result of the preliminary contest in reading Miss Kathleen Abbott was chosen to repre- sent Southeastern in the annual reading contest of the six normal schools. The con- test was held at Central State Normal, at Edmund, Oklahoma, on the third of February, and Miss Abbott, although she was the last speaker of the six, in her usual charming manner gave the reading so well that she was awarded second place- Hurrah for Southeastern! May her sons and daughters ever be successful! 108 Debating Teams 109 The Alumni Association R. D. Hardy, President Officers of igi2-fJJ Mr. R. D. Hardy Mr. W. A. Thomason Miss Lola M. Harris Miss Haydee Ritchey President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Southeastern is proud of the fact that her first graduating class of 1910 organized an Alumni Association. Since that time the Association has not been forgetful and has accomplished much of good for its Alma Mater- The members keep in touch with the school by returning to Durant each ear at Commencement and attending the exercises. The most enjoyable affair which takes place at this time is the Alumni Banquet, given to the new members of the Association. The membership is steadily growing much larger and may every member of the Association always remain loyal and true to his Alma Mater. 110 The Alumni Association CLASS OF 1910 Mrs. W. F.

A. gave its annual reception to the students of the Southeastern State Normal School, on Monday evening, November 15th, at the home of Miss Ola Human. The reception halls were beautifully decorated with ferns, cut flowers, pennants and banners. At the door stood the receiving line, composed of the Y. W. C. A. members. After the guests had assembled, they were given little booklets containing the fol- lowing words, viz., School, Easter, News, Yesterday’s Wonders, Christmas Authors. After the programmes were filled, five minutes were allowed for each topic. Much merriment resulted from the conversations and the get acquainted contest proved a success in every way- Music and games supplied the entertainment for the rest of the evening. An ice course was served after which the guests departed wishing the Y. W. C. A. much success in its future work. Tahlequah Team Entertained The students of the Normal School gave the Tahlequah football boys a reception on October 16th, 1913, at the home of Mr. W. T. Dodson. When the guests arrived they were ushered into the large drawing rooms where music and games were enjoyed. In the south corner of the dining room, amid a pro- fusion of cut flowers and pennants, and pillows, the girls of the Place Aux Dames club served refreshing punch and frappe. As a fitting close for the evening’s entertainment. Miss Isabelle Brown had all of the young ladies to form in a line for the inspection of the gentlemen. The visiting boys were taken down the line and allowed to select a young lady as a partner for a Theatre Party. After all the young ladies had been taken, the party went to the Orpheum Theatre where they were entertained by the “Movies.” Throughout the evening, school yells and songs were given. After leaving the show a parade was formed, which traversed the business section of the city ending at the hotel where the visitors were being entertained- In front of the hotel much school enthusiasm was shown by the students participating in a snake dance and by yelling and singing. The Tahlequah boys put up a few Indian “stunts” after which a “good night” yell was given and the visitors were left to dream about the fateful score of the next day—26 to o in favor of S. E. N. 124 We o4nnual Football Reception As due honor and respect, as well as tokens of love and appreciation must be paid to all heroes, Southeastern State Normal School paid the highest tribute of love to its all glorious and victorious State Champion Football team on the night of November 27th, 1913. The guest assembled at the home of Mr. W. T. Dodson and from there went in a body to Sinclair’s Confectionery where a sumptious banquet was spread for them. The hall was beautifully decorated in cut flowers, ferns, pennants and banners. Dr. Murdaugh, in his distinguished manner acted as Toast-master for the occasion. Senator J. T. McIntosh and Mr. Victor Kelley very ably responded to toasts and each complimented both the school and the boys for the excellent record made during the season. Miss Isabelle Brown, the team sponsor, in her sweet and graceful way, toasted to “Our lovable boys.” Mr. W. N. Chitwood, the retiring captain of 1913, Messrs. E. E. Early and Spot Durant of the 13 football team, each gave a pleasing and appropriate response. The team Mother, Mrs. Joe Lou Adams, in her charming and beautiful man- ner, toasted to the captain, Mr. W. N. Chitwood. After the toasts came the business session. Mr. Victor Kelley, assistant coach of the team, presented each member of the team with a sweater coat bearing the monogram of the school. Mr. A- R. Bateman was elected captain for the 1914 team. Southeastern feels sure that with such an excellent captain that the record will be as good this next season as it was in 1913 and hopes may be safely entertained that in 1914 Southeastern State Normal School will have an ALL STAR STATE CHAMPION FOOTBALL TEAM. 125 At. C qU-C' vu '4 Q zA cTHidnight Feast The senior class of Southeastern State Normal was very delightfully entertained on last evening at the home of the class sponsor. Miss Alice McKinney. The guests, dressed as witches and hobgoblins, assembled at 11 o’clock. They were met at the door by a grotesque witch, who bade them enter her den, and, with her long bony hands motioned for them to be seated around a caldron in the center of the den. The weird light, coming from the jack-o-lanterns, revealed those things which are dear to the heart of every witch. In the center of the room was a large caldron, presided over by a black cat. Companions of the witch hostess stood in two corners of the room. In a third corner was a large spider web on which a spider was working. Bats, flying overhead and black cats everywhere, added to the weirdness of the scene. Small spider-webs and dirt daubbers, nests covered the wall. From his perch on the mantle a wise old owl presided over the scene. As soon as the guests became accustomed to the scene the hostess witch bade them remove their masks and partake of the witches’ broth. Ghost stories were told while the broth was being eaten. A knock at the door broke the stillness, and when opened, a wandering witch entered- At the invitation of the hostess she set the caldron boiling and retired to her den to await the development of the fortunes. The guests were then served with creamed chicken and beaten biscuit. The third course consisted of fruit salad and wafers. The last course served to the guests was apple cider and gingerbread. Ghost stories were told throughout the festival. At a signal from the hostess the guests arose and went in singly to receive the message from the caldron. The fortunes were varied and revealed many hidden talents and famous personages. Flashlight pictures were taken of the scene around the caldron. At about two o’clock the guests departed. The seniors are very fortunate in having Miss Alice McKinney as their sponsor. Memories of this Hallowe’en festival will linger pleasantly in their minds for many years to come. Holloween Party Miss Leila Hampton was hostess to the Place Aux Dames Club at the home of her mother on Hallowe’en night. The guests arrived in small groups, each dressed in a costume peculiar to the weird night. The spacious rooms were dimly lighted by jack-o’-lanterns and candles shaded with many uncanny shades. On entering the reception hall the guests were met by two ghosts holding a broom stick, over which each person had to jump. Go- ing on into the front parlor, many hobgobblins were seen moving noislessly around- After all of the members of the club had arrived, dance programmes were given out which carried out the spirit of the Hallowe’en. The dances were as follows: “March of Death,” “Skeleton Skip,” “The Devil’s Dip,” “The Cross Bones Creep,” “The Demon’s Drag,” “The Haunted Home Sweet Home.” Toasted marshmallows, painted to represent black cats, were served throughout the evening. After the delicious refreshments the Place Aux Dames declared Miss Hampton to be an ideal hostess and a charming member of their club. Miss Brown Entertains On the evening of October the thirty-first, Miss Isabelle M. Brown, head of the Department of Vocal Music, entertained the pupils of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades with a Hallowe’en party in the gymnasium of the school. Cornstalks, hay, leaves, and jack-o’-lanterns were used as decorations. The pupils were dressed as ghosts and as they played their games in the dimly lighted hall, the very air seemed filled with spooks. Refreshments consisting of candy, apples, fruit, nuts, and oranges were served. 126 Senior Party The Senior class of the Southeastern State Normal School entertained the Senior class of the Presbyterian College at the home of their sponsor, Miss Alice McKinney, on Monday evening, with a valentine party. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion. In the music room pink hearts, pot plants and pink ribbons were found in profusion. The room was lighted by pink candles. In the library were found the red hearts and red candles. In the dining room on the green felt table tops green candles set in antique bronze candle- sticks with hand decorated hearts furnished the decorations- Progressive hearts were played and as each person progressed candy hearts were given them in red satin bags. At the conclusion of the games it was found that Mr. Elmer Early had made high score and he was awarded a beautiful picture, which he in turn presented to Miss Winnie Lewis, president of the Senior class. An archery contest was next held. Red, green, blue, black, yellow and white hung between the dining room and library, and each person was given a chance to find his fortune according to the color he pierced. Brick cream frozen on hearts with white cake was served. Carnations were given as favors. Just before the guests departed, Mr. Morris Lively, president of the Senior class of the Normal, presented the Senior class of the College with a beautiful bouquet of flowers as a token of the true friendship felt by one class for the other. The Junior-Senior Party The Senior Class were delightfully entertained by the Junior Class during the Valentine Season. The house was beautiful in gala attire, and all decorations were suggestive of the spirit that prevails during Valentine festivities. The Juniors formed the receiving line and gave to each and every Senior a cordial welcome. Each guest was required to sign a card which later on in the evening proved to be his fortune. When these were read everyone was delighted as well as surprised to hear his future fate. Progressive Bunco was played during a portion of the evening. At the close of the games it was found that Miss Lillian Womble had made high score and she was awarded the prize—a beautiful boquet of carnations- A three course luncheon was served after which the guests departed declaring the Juniors to be charming hostesses. 127 We “Tap-a-Keg-a-Day ” Entertain One of the most unique and enjoyable affairs of the season was given on the even- ing of January 28th, by the charter member of the Tap-a-Keg-a-Day Club to the honorary members. The guests assembled at the home of the Misses McKinney and went in a body to the Gayety Theatre where they spent a delightful hour. After leaving the theatre they repaired to the Bee Hive where refreshments awaited them. These consisted of rye bread sandwiches, “weenies,” olives, root beer, ice cream and cake. Mr. Rudolph Helbach, in his usual gallant manner, acted as toastmaster for the occasion. Dr. Murdaugh, President W. B. Morrison, and Mr. Hamilton were the speakers of the evening. The Utopian Orchestra furnished sweet music throughout the evening which added greatly to the success of the entertainment. Debating Team Banquet On the evening of Saturday, March the twenty-eighth, at eight o’clock, a repre- sentative body of students and faculty members of Southeastern, with Hon W. A. Durant and Senator J- T. McIntosh assembled in the parlors of the Bee Hive for the annual festivities celebrating S. E. N.’s victory over her opponents in debate. The hall was fittingly decorated, the scheme being a mixture of Normal colors with those of the Debating club. At the close of a dainty three course luncheon the assemblage enjoyed very much the excellent music furnished by the Utopian orchestra. Wells Thomason was announced as toastmaster who proceeded to preside and a number of toasts followed. 128 129 Visitors Who Speak In c-Assembly' When a guest steps to the rostrum, How we make our applause hum, With fear and speculations grim And feigned joy we meet him. He smiles and nods and takes his seat, We then his greetings do repeat. Then all is calm until we hear Words of our president so dear, Saying that Mr. So and So Will speak to us. Oh words of woe. For to us it is always clear The same old story we shall hear, The speech of all speakers before Likely to be forever more. “Good morning to you one and all, I’m glad to be in this great hall, To stand before students so gay And help them on in life’s great way. You are working hard I see, So my remarks sparing shall be. Now, I must congratulate, You upon your buildings great, Upon your student body vast, And faculty whose youth is past- Your opportunities are rare, I hope for life you do prepare To move the world some future day Or hold all men beneath your sway. It is my earnest wish to reach, Some idling student by my speech, That he may live to bless the day, Kind fate sent me into his way.” In lengthy words the speech goes on While most of us begin to yawn. He discourses on in noble strain Until we wish he’d come again, For when time comes for us to pass, Hooray, we miss that eleven o’clock class. 130 F. N., ’15.

Physics Problems: If an elephant can climb a greased pole in an hour and 20 minutes, and Peruna costs 15c a pint, how long will if take a fly with a hair lip to eat a pimple off a dill pickle? If it takes three yards of calico to make a baby hippotamus a kimona, how long will it take a cockroach with a wooden leg to kick a hole in a turnip. Mr. Dodson: “How many wives did Henry VIII. have and how did they die?” George Mason: “Seven; he tickled the bottom of their feet until they died.” Mr. Hamilton: “What is a Harold Haynes: “A quantity you’re sure of.” There was a teacher named Jou Lou Who said to a student, “I’ll flunk you.” But that student did cram, And on final exam, Made even up seventy-two. Miriam Crenshaw: “Are we going to cook Miss Hallie?” Miss Hallie: “No indeed, wc will cook steak today.” Mr. Robbins: “When we commence the study of the head 1 will get some brains. Tr, School Pupil: “Why Mr. Robbins, haven’t you any?” Mrs. Adams: “What is the future of to love’ ”? Howard Jarrell: “Marriage.” “Oh downcast Senior, who so sad ?” Asked a little 8th grade lad. “ ’Tis only this,” the Senior said, “I’m afraid I won t be a grad. “I feel in my bones,” declared Millie, I never shall marry, alas.” “But not in your wishbone,” said '1 illie. And now they don’t speak as they pass. 131 Gleanings from the Training School Miss Gabriel: “What is the brain?’' Paul Faulkner: “It is a bone box at the top of the body.” Student Teacher of Roman History: “Who was Regulus?” Dewey Deck: “Regulus, the leader of an army, killed a large snake that was about to eat the army, with a stamp machine.” Two French exporers of the Mississippi Valley were Romeo and Juliet.

It’s her beau. Don’t you know nothing?” Miss Simmons: “Make a sentence with ‘excuse.’ ” Robert York: “You’d better hand in your excuse blank before Dr. Murdaugh gets you.” Josephine: “Mother, have you heard about Lucile Adams?” Mrs. Rainey: “No, what about her?” Josephine: “They say she has been composed to the smallpox.” Ola Deck (in relating the story of William Tell) : “William Tell hit the apple right square dab in the middle.” Mrs. Rainey: “Robert, did you throw any of those paper-wads sticking on the blackboard ?” “No,” replied Robert, “mine didn’t stick.” Petroleum is made from the sap of trees which have been buried. 132 Classified oAds HAYNES IN CUBATO RIAL SHOP.

The impulse probably originates in the cerebellum, is accelerated in the cerebrum, and, upon being transmitted by the proper nerves, is converted into the words, ‘Do you love me?’ ” Be not alarmed pray If any hour of night or day You see a person running round With his hair mussed up and his face afrown; He’s but trying to think of the easiest way To study his lessons and practice a play, Make lesson plans and write a rhyme, And a few other things at the same time. He thinks he is busy (O please don’t laugh) Because he’s a member of the “Holisso” Staff. 134 As we come to the close of this book, and look back over the long hours spent in its production, we wonder if it is all worth while; if the worry, the planning, the thought, and the time spent will result in any positive benefit. Then we remember there are many angles from which a person may view things, and that the angle he chooses will determine his attitude. Hence we, as the makers of this book, desire to choose the angle which will enable us to view things with a clear perspective, and give us an impersonal attitude. Then wTe shall remember that nothing reflects credit on a school as a year book does; that each new book serves to make new friends and bind closer old ones; and that in future years it will afford many happy reminiscences to those who call Southeastern their Alma Mater- Uppermost in our minds at this time are the remembrances of those who have aided us in this wrork. There was never a student body more loyal to a production than the one we are leaving. They gladly came to our assistance financially and otherwise. Without their aid this book would have been impossible. Although every line and picture herein has been contributed by students, many have been the helpful opinions, suggestions, and ideas given us by members of the Faculty. To all these, in gracious acknowledgement of their kindness, we extend our sincerest thanks. 135 136 137 Don’t Look!!! unless you want to see who are the real Friends of SOUTHEASTERN then Look them up and read what they say and when you need to buy, Remember our friends and treat them as you would like to have your friends treated. 138 ABOUT THIS STORE It is the policy of this store to provide in every line merchandise and service of the very highest type possible at a reasonable price.
