Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1916 volume:

i' FOREWORD The first Holisso was published by the Class of 1911. Though excellent in material and workmanship, the volume was small, as was to be expected in a young school which had not yet made a record and acquired traditions. The record has now been made; the traditions are in the making. Each year the school has grown and improved; each succeeding issue of the Holisso has been better than its predecessor. Each year there has been more material with which to work; more people to work upon it; more precedents for guidance; more records of experience, warning from the pitfalls that entrap the unwary; more encouragement from an ever-increasing number of friends. So Holisso V now takes its place in the illustrious line, surpassing those that have gone before, and to be surpassed in turn by even greater successors. 4 Greetings In the preparation of Holisso V the class of '16 has had advantages over former classes. In the first place, the school has made great progress since last year. In the second place, the class is a record-breaker in size, (whether or not in other respects, modesty forbids us to mention). In the third place, the excellence of previous issues has inspired us to our very best efforts in order to raise the standard. All members of the class have done their part. We wish to thank also the faculty, the student body, and the people of the city, for their co-operation. Faculty, students, classes, and organizations of the school year 1915-16 are all here together as they can never be again. We feel, therefore, that this book will be an invaluable souvenir of school life, increasing in value as the years roll on. We, then, the class of 1916, take pride in presenting to you the latest and best volume of its kind, Holisso V. I DEDICATION To one who, strong and courageous, has marked the road we should follow, and guided us along it with both patience and firmness; who has never failed in sympathy and helpfulness, however weighed upon by other cares; who has given us, by precept and example, the keynote of all that is true and honest; who has toiled long and faithfully in the interests of the higher and better education; who has won, as no other has, the love and respect of us all;—to our president, Andrew S. Faulkner, as a slight token of appreciation for all these things, this book is dedicated by the class of 191G. APPRECIATION TO Miss Willie Vivian Luck AND Mr. Mallalieu M. Wickham A ship may be well built, and may have an excellent captain and crew. But when she ventures among unknown reefs and shoals, only an experienced pilot can insure against wreck. A caravan may be richly laden and well guarded. But without a guide on the desert, wealth and strength avail nothing. A firm may engage in business with all the advantages of location and capital But if they fail to heed the advice of experience, bankruptcy may follow. We, the class of 1916, wish to express our most heartfelt thanks to our sponsor and advisor, whose kind advice and practical assistance have been of inestimable value to us.

We watched the sunset, she and I. The shadowed lights that gleam and die, And changing, ever lovelier seem, The substance of an artist’s dream. Was heaven ever yet so blue? Or clouds such soft, deep gray in hue? Can earth show gold so purely bright? That cloud,—is even snow as white? What was but now the palest rose Like heated ashes darkly glows; Each outline clear as touched with flame. Though ever changing, still the same. How can we tell the absent, one The beauty of the setting sun? The painter’s warmest tints are pale; The poet's best description fail. Can we translate, or hope to try, What God has written in the sky? The wondrous waiting of His hand We see, but do not understand. We watched the beauties fade away. But though the clouds once more were gray. The glory of the sunset skies Was still reflected in her eyes. 12 —WHITNEY ’16. 13 A. S. FAULKNER Psychology and Pedagogy 1G MRS.

S. F. We’ll dispense with the regular program today. Because I have something important to say About the way you behave in the hall And clapped at the church and that isn’t all. The way you stand up and the way you sit down And your general appearance in getting around. When you come to assembly you musn’t chew gum. You miserable idiot I have seen some Eat their lunches in here and throw down the meat And trample it into the floor with their feet. And only yesterday out east of the house Sat two boys and two girls as still as a mouse The boys, ah the boys, they hugged and kissed ’em So I’m going to install a demerit system. You must ask permission to enter your locker And don’t lounge around like your chair was a rocker. Walk on the right when you come down the hall. Do you think it’s a place for a game of football? Don’t stand in the entrance there wrhen you arrive, Because if you do I’ll skin you alive. Stand up when we sing, bow your heads when we pray, Be sure that your conduct is always “O. K.” Two demerits are bad. three demerits are worse When you get ten demerits I’ll send for the hearse. Then out you’ll go from the walls of this school An IGNORANT, ILLITERATE, RIP-ROARING BLAME FOOL, And then on your brain there will be no convolution To mark your brief stay at this institution. Now you’d better take notice, for this is the LAW, Zip Bang for Southeastern, RAH, RAH, RAH. “Happy” De Jarrelle. 56 57 Yes! WE Are The FRESHMEN, But Watch Us Grow Next Year 58 SECOND YEAR CLASS FIRST YEAR CLASS Utopian Literary Society President, Bryan Nolen Vine-President, John Leonard; Secretary, Ray Hannon The Utopian was at one time the largest and strongest society in school, but the others have secured most of our former members, and left us with only a few. around which we are building an organization of which the school will be proud. We won the faculty cup three straight years and are the only organization in school which possesses a gavel. PIERIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Motto: “The life of truth leads. ’ Colors: Purple and white. Flower; White rose. Pierian Literary Society OFFICERS: President: Alice Cole Yager Vice-President: Laura Rankin Secretary: Bertha Reeves Parliamentarian: Mavme King In this the fifth year of its existence, the Pierian Literary Society shows itselt well able to enter the lists with any of its rivals, and promises a long life of still greater .usefulness. At the beginning of the year, great alarm was manifested by the members at discovering that no boys were present. It was therefore immediately moved, second- ed, and unanimously voted to remedy this shocking state of affairs. The results were all that could be desired. We got the boys. The society now numbers forty active, working members—no has-beens included. Though several other members of the faculty have aided us on different oc- casions, we feel especially indebted to our advisor, Mr. Krumtum, whose loyal sup- port has contributed in great part to our success. 65 Science Seminar President, Erskine Fontaine; Vice-President, Clarence Allen; Recording Secre- tary, Opal Moorehead; Corresponding Secretary, Elizabeth Pettey; Treasurer, Cecil Barnett; Critic Lolah Chesnut; Keeper of Archives, Elsie Wann; Door- Keeper, Paul Faulkner; Attorney, Bernice Pendleton. Responsive to an insistent and growing demand on the part of the students of science at Southeastern an initial call was made October the eighth, Nineteen Fifteen, by Mr. M. M. Wickham, head of the department of Biology for the organization of a representative science club embracing all arms of science in the school. The SEMINAR is composed of the following seven divisions: Biology, Physics and Chemistry, Geography and Agriculture, Psychology, Domestic Science and Arts. Manual Arts, and Mathematics Motto: Upward, Downward, Outward, Inward. WEBSTERIAN DEBATING CLUE President, R. D. Beane Secretary, A. B. Dagley. Coach: W. T. Dodson. Motto: “At The Foothills Climbing.” Flower: Red Rose. Colors: White and Blue. The Websterian Debating Club was organized on October the Eighth, Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen. This club is composed of a bunch of hard working, energetic young men who desired to improve themselves in public speaking. It is a young organization, having been organized this year, but it has already pushed itself into prominence among the clubs of the school. R. D. Beane and Earl Ward represented the Websterian in the Denton and Kendall debates and G. P. Beane was chosen from the Websterian on the Oklahoma debates. Southeastern Debating Club OFFICERS: President, Clarence Crudup Vice President, Eugene Faulkner Secretary, Harrold Haynes President-Elect, 1917, Howard R. Jarrell The Southeastern Debating Club The Pioneer debating club of the Southeastern State Normal School is the Southeastern Debating Club. This organization was formed in the early days of the School's history, the purpose of the organization being the practice of debating and all the associated arts. Membership in the Club is limited to thirty men in good standing in the Normal School, men who will do their part when they are placed upon the program by the program committee, appointed by the President of the Club. Regu- lar meetings are held every Friday afternoon and special meetings are held subject to the call of the President. Parliamentary drills, orations, essays, reviews of current events, and extemporaneous speeches form a part of the work of this organization; but the principal efforts of the club are directed toward formal debating, in which line of work the young men who compose this Club have made commendable progress. This year, four of the seven men who composed the various inter-collegiate debating teams representing this School, were members of the Southeastern Debating Club, viz: Messrs. Crudup, Hastings, Morgan and Lewis. 68 69 Inter-Scholastic Debates Interest in debating has been stronger than ever this year. This interest is shown in the organization of a class in argumentation and of a new debating society. Also, an unusually large number of students participated in the try-outs for the inter- scholastic debates. The first great debate of the year was with the Normal at Denton, Texas, on the question: “Resolved: That immigration into the United States should be further restricted by the imposition of a literacy test.” R. D. Beane and Earl Ward defended Souheastern’s standard. In spite of excellent work by our boys, the decision went to Denton. The annual triangular debate among the Oklahoma Normal Schools is always hotly contested. This year the question chosen was: “Resolved: That the plan for military preparedness, as outlined by President Wilson in his recent message to Con- gress, increases, rather than decreases, the possibility of war.” After some confusion in the fixing of a convenient date, the event was finally called April 18th. On that date J. F. Hastings and C. P. Crudup carried the war into the enemy’s country at Edmond, while G. P. Beane and William Morgan defended home territory against Tahlequah. Loyal fans were disappointed, but not discouraged, at an adverse de- cision in both places. But fortune smiled in the last debate, when R. D. Beane and Grady Lewis met representatives of Henry Kendall College at Tulsa, and won the victory by unanimous consent. The question was the same previously debated with Denton. Loss of the former debates is in no way to the discredit of the Durant teams And the last victory has revived enthusiasm for even better work next year. 70 DEBATING TEAMS 71 Alta Petentes Motto: Seeking Higher Things. Colors: Green and White. Flower: Carnation. OFFICERS: Mrs. Mackin,—President. Buenos Phillips,—Vice President. Vera Williams,—Secretary and Treasurer. The idea of a dramatic club was conceived by eight young ladies in the fall of 1915, and arrangements were soon made for the organization and by the first of Octo- ber all plans were perfected. The club started with a membership of fifteen and soon increased to the membership limit of twenty. The work of the club has been confined to the study of the ‘ Technique of the Drama,” using Freitag’s text. The technique was followed with the practical application of the technique of the drama. “Every Man to His Humor,” by Ben Johnson, was the representative comedy. “Joan de Arc,” by Shiller, was also studied in detail, then three Shakesperian plays were considered. The work of the last semester has been of miscellaneous nature. Russian, Polish, and Norwegian literature has been studied, considering such authors as Sienkiewicz, Tolstoi, and Ibsen in such representative books as “Quo Vadis,” and the “Doll’s House.” Members: Ruth Mackey Edith Moore Mabel Canutt Beulah Emertt Augusta Pardone Mrs. Mackin Minnie Collins Roxye Williamson Fannie Munson Buenos Phillips Mrs. Bennett Ruth Smith Maxey Hart Wilma Mason Jetsey Harmon Mattie Mae Cole Louise Adams Vera Williams Fannie Nelson Perle Arnold 72 73 Music Club “Music is art and all art is expression.”—Perry The Southeastern Music Club was organized on the third of November, nineteen and fourteen, under the direction of Miss Alice McKinney of the Piano Department who has this year been assisted by Miss Vivian Luck of the Voice Department. The purpose of this Club is to give to Students in music a wider scope of knowledge of music, musicians, and current topics with the view of inculcating a deeper appreciation and stronger love for music. The work of this year has been the study of the piano and its music; Grand Opera and the Orchestra. 74 75 Alumni OFFICERS President _______________________________________________________ Dan Stewart Secretary _______________________________________________________ Lois Jarrell Treasurer ___________________________________________________ Edwardine Crenshaw Southeastern is proud of the record made by her Alumni. In the 1910 class, Miss Joe Yerion is head of the Domestic Science at the Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas. Oklahoma University boasts of these “A” students: Isabel Works, C. M. Mackey, Dan Stewart, M. U. Lively, W. A. Thomason, Mary Ritchey, and John Moseley, who further distinguished Southeastern by winning the Rhodes Scholarship. Miss Virginia Howard, ’15, is the Critic Teacher of the Fifth and Sixth Grades at Edmond. Wm. Jones of the ’13 class is attending the University of Kansas.

We only intend to enumerate a few of the merits for which our organization is noted and let the reader draw his own conclusions. We are going to tell of some of the things that we have accom- plished and let you judge whether or not we have a right to feel our importance. FOOTBALL: Since the organization of this society, the R. A. R. have been rep- resented on both Southeastern’s teams. Last season Crudup, Hampton, Jarrell and Matthews represented the R. A. R. on the first team. The rest played on the “Scrubs.” SCHOLASTICS: Crudup, the only R. A. R. in the Senior class, was elected Class Business Manager. In the Junior class Taylor was elected President, Jarrell was elected Business Manager and Hampton was elected Sergeant-at-Arms. The “Sophs” elected Morgan as President and Shuler as Treasurer. In the Debating Club Shuler, Crudup and Jarrell served one term each, while the Secretaries have always been members of the R. A. R. ORCHESTRA: The Orchestra of Southeastern is composed almost wholly of R. A. R. Haynes and Miller on the Cornet, Morgan on the Clarinet, Taylor on the Violin and Yarbrough on the Trombone, form the nucleus around which Southeastern has builded one of the best amateur Orchestras in the State. DEBATE: Our reputation as debators is well know. Since our organization we have furnished 75 per cent of the debators for Southeastern. In 1915 when South- eastern won the State championship in debating, three of the four men on the cham- pionship team were R. ,A R- Crudup has carried the colors for three years, Jarrell for two years, while Morgan and Fayes have only served their initial year. TRACK: Morgan and Yarbrough have a brilliant future before them. MATRIMONIAL: We compose 90 per cent of 2-4-G-8 Club. Gumm and Miller committed Matrimony and are steering a pretty straight course. In looking over our past record we cannot but feel proud of the things we have accomplished at Southeastern. As a School society we disorganize this year, but as a bunch of good fellows, never! 78 79 S. E. N. CHAFING DISH CLUB A great big can of oysters— A dozen eggs or more A great big box of crackers Fresh from the grocery store. A group of girls all gathered To have a little fun— Gibbling—gabbing—gobbing— Gee! But how the hours do run. —“Oh, he’s the cutest fellow” —“The moonlight was so clear”— —“Miss Hallie—can I stir this?” —“That dress is just a dear”— —“My but I’m feeling ‘Happy’ ” - - “Give me a ‘business’ man”— Laughing—fussing—giggling— Wh en! Just stop them if you can. At last the feast is ready And fifteen girls or more. As hungry as a black bear, Sink, breathless to the floor. The feast all seems to vanish The girlies cease their blub —“Goodby”—“next Friday?”—“Be on time.”— S. E. N. Chafing Dish Club. 80 K A. ’17. 82 ORCHESTRA The Girls’ Sextette has occasioned quite a good deal of interest. It is a new organization. The members all have good voices, and this, together with the training Miss Luck has given them, has made the Sex- tette a success. Besides the many entertainments in the school and city, in which they have taken part, they sang at the Teachers’ Meeting in Hugo and at the Womens’ Club Meeting in Madill. Their sucess in their first year speaks well for what they will do in the future. Four of the members will be back next year. The other two are Seniors. The Orchestra is an old organization in Southeastern and this year’s success along this line has kept CHORUS up our reputation. The music at all school entertainments is furnished by the Orchestra and it is always first-class in every respect. Some of the members have been in the Orchestra since its organization but there are several new members this year. Miss Luck is the director this year and has proved to be an able leader and instructor in every way. The Chorus is an important factor in all schools, but in Southeastern it plays a particularly prominent part. It always assists in the Commencement exercises and adds greatly to their beauty and impressiveness. PIANO Southeastern has many talented piano students and many of them have already acquired considera- ble proficiency in the execution of technique. The class is always large, but all of the periods are full this year and there is a demand for more. There are two annual recitals given by this department, one on Hallowe’en and one during Commencement. Besides this, there are many short recitals given during the Assembly period through the year. Miss Alice McKinney is the instructor. Athletics No school curriculum is complete without some form of athletics. With “Clean athletics” as the slogan, Southeastern takes the field with confidence and enthusiasm. Inter-class games have furnished much interest this year, but outside teams were not allowed to think themselves neglected. We have always had strong teams in football, basketball, and track stunts, and this year tennis has become a feature. No one can deny that our boys and girls have courage and ability (all our opponents can testify to this) and are not to be spoiled by success or discouraged by the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” % % % %N- ■ % % % % x % ■% % % % %% 1 V- '4 v. ''•I.' ' Southeastern Football Team OSCAR PALMER Quarter Back and Captain Age 21, Weight 170, height 5 ft. 11 ins. Oscar has played Southeastern football for the past five years. He has prac- tically grown up with the team. He has played nearly every position on the team, and has played every school of any importance in the State. He has been a very valuable man to Southeastern. He was elected Captain of the team this year and piloted the team through a very successful season. He is a steady player, never blows up and is always good for a gain and is a good man in defensive work. His punting was a sensation every where he went. We hope Oscar will be back again next year and take his old position at quarter. 88 WALTON RYLE Guard Age 21, Weight 175, Height 5 ft. 9 in. “Fatty'’ is a heavy man both physically and in the game. This is his first year in football but that doesn't bother him. He is hard to get around or through. His method of tackling is unique, he lets them run into him, bounce off, then lies down on them very gently. CLARENCE CRUDUP Fullback. Age 20, Weight 165, Height 5 ft. 10 in. Crudup is the fu’lback and he is some fullback too. He is a young bat- tering ram mounted on two feet, carrying its own engine. H e receives short passes well and is also good on running and breaking up interference. Though not very fast he goes hard enough to make up for speed. Tack- les low and hard. FON LEE Tackle Age 19, Weight 170, Height 5 ft. 9 in. Fon is the find of the 1914 “Rats” and has cer- tainly proved of value, He takes all comers and handles them pretty roughly, yet plays clean ball. He gets into every play that comes his way and into a good many that don’t. He tackles with his whole body and his favorite spot is the ankles. 89 HOWARD R. JARRELL Sub., End, Half and Quarter. Age 19, Weight 145, Height 5 ft. 10 ins. Happy was just a little light to make a regular position on the team this year, but look out for him next year. He has the science, ability and “pep” now, and next year he will have the weight. Although “Happy” was light, he made good show- ings in all the games he played this year. There is a bright future for this youngster under the prop- er coaching. EARL HOTCHK1X End Age 20, Weight 155, Height 5 ft. 10 ins. “Hock” has had lots of football experience and that, together with his natural ability, make him an exceptionally strong player. He plays well both on the offensive and defensive and pulls down passes with ease. “Hock” is a member of the “Scor- ing Committee,” the other members being Crudup, “Crip,” and Palmer. SHIRL SHOFFNER Guard Age 20, Weight 160, Height 5 ft. 9 ins. Shirl came out to join the “Peppers;” He work- ed too hard and was soon on the first team. He is a good tackier and shows up best in offen- sive work. His work in the Ada game was parti- cularly noticeable and brought forth many com- ments from the specta- tors. When he gets more experience he will be a man to reckon with in any game. 90 EDDIE BAT TAI LE Half Back Age 20, Weight 163, Height 5 ft. 10 ins. Ed proved in the tur- key game last year that he was a football player. This year he came back with the same old “pep” and made one of the most valuable men. You could depend on him when there was a gain needed. He was a reliable player at all stages of the game and was always good in defensive work. He will be the “Hub” around which Coach Laird will build a strong winning team next year. CECIL BARNETT Center Age 19, Weight 165, Height 6 ft. Cecil came over from the High School and stuck. He is big in body and in the game. He passes the ball well and manages to keep his op- ponent from running over him. His teeth sometimes rattle, but it is not be- cause he is scared. He blocked a kick in the Ada game. WALLER JOHNSON Left End Height 5 ft. 10 ins. Age 21, Weight 170, Although W’aller was his society name, “Crip” was the only name by which he was known on the gridiron. “Crip” play- ed left end and was the terror of all men who came his way. Could catch the ball at any an- gle and enough men could not get around him to make him spill one. He plays a good offensive game. We are in hopes that “Crip” will be back with us again next year. 91 SPRAGUE Sub Age 21, Weight 170, Height 5 ft. 10 ins. Sprague is a country school teacher. He came out for football and after a work-out was adopted by first team as a sub. His main ability as a player consists in his getting in the way of his opponents. After he gets over his fear of being sunburned he will become a strong player. This change will probably oc- cur early next year. HOLLIS HAMPTON Half Back Age 19, Weight 145, Height 5 ft. 9 ins. Hollis is a product of the “Scrubs ’ and an ex- ample of what the “Scrubs can do. He is a fast Indian known as “Red Ankle” and holds his own with the best of them. He is especially good on breaking up plays. Tackles hard and plays best when slightly angry. He is a Junior and will be back next year. HARRY FAULKNER Tackle Age 23 Weight 175, Height 5 ft. 11 ins. Faulkner (no relation to Andy) is a new but welcome man to our school and team. He is big and stays with the game. Is a good all around player. He got his arm hurt in the Ed- mond game and was kept out of the rest of the games on that account. He plays a heady game and is a good man in the line. 92 Football Football prospects at Southeastern took on a bright aspect the very first day of the Fall term when Coach Laird's call for volunteers was answered by about thirty husky gridsters including many of the last year’s team such as Palmer, Hotchkin, Crudup, Maxey, Battaile, W. and C. Johnson and Hampton. This formed a nucleus around which to work, and signal practice started in earnest the second day. By the beginning of the second week, the bunch of thirty had been divided into a first and second team, Mr. Brown taking charge of the second team and scrimmage against them and the strong team from the High School was one of the secrets of our team’s defensive strength during the entire season. Although from the standpoint of points made, this year has not been a very suc- cessful year for Southeastern, but most of the men will be back next year and their experience acquired against the many strong teams with whom they played this year, coupled with the prospective new material for next year indicate in every way, an all- victorious team for Southeastern in 1916.

There were about fifteen big, husky, boys who worked hard every day throughout the entire season. After several days of hard practice the team was picked which was composed of Moore, Helbach, Battaile, Palmer, Rushing, and Nolen. With these men, with the aid of a strong second team, Coach Brown was able to build up one of the strongest teams Southeastern has ever had. Although we did not win many games this season, we can boast of a very successful season because we played some of the strongest teams in the State and made good showings in all these games. Most all the boys on our team this season wrere new men and will be in South- eastern for several years. This makes the prospects for future teams very bright. With these men, with the experience gained in the hard games this season, Coach Brown will be able to build up a basket ball team next year that will be un- equaled in the State. The Schedule: — s.

Early in the year class spirit rose high and gradually grew stronger. All classes, be- lieving in the survival of the fittest, decided to meet in a common place to defend the honor of their clan and battle for supremacy. A schedule was made for both the boys and girls, and every class in school began with the organization of teams. These reported to Coach Brown for scrimmage with the strong first teams. Finally the time came for the games to start, and as the different teams were called, they entered the court with sharp finger nails, clubs, sticks, and rocks, and fought with blood in their eyes to protect the honor of their class. At the end of the schedule it was found that the Seniors had defeated all comers in both the boys’ and girls’ contests, and thus demonstrated their supremacy over all other classes in school. These inter-class games were very successful and were of a great benefit to the school as they gave many students the chance to participate in some form of Athletics. 98 TENNIS PLAYERS,, Tennis in Southeastern During the last ten years tennis has grown extremely popular in the secondary schools of the southern states. Even the high schools meet annually in friendly tournament at stated times and places. During the 1916 season, Southeastern has devoted a great amount of time to this sport and her team has proven worthy of the hearty support the students and faculty of the institution have given it. Three fine clay courts were added to the playground equipment and these af- forded an admirable place for the try-outs in which the team was selected. The elimination system was used, two tournaments being held during the first weeks of April. A large number of players participated and many good matches resulted. Those of Roach and J. Helbach, and K. Helbach and J. Helbach, deserve special men- tiort. Freeman won the tournament for singles place from Roach in straight sets and J. Helbach teamed with him in doubles by defeating his opponent after the sets had gone the limit with two of them deuce. At the invitation meet for secondary schools which was held at Norman last week in April, Southeastern made a clean sweep of the tournament. Freeman won the singles from London of Central in straight sets; 6-2, 6-2, 6-1; and with Helbach won the doubles from Central Normal by the score of 6-2, 6-2, 6-2. It is too early to give reports of the inter-collegiate tournament but it is sufficient to say that Coach Brown expects to have his team there with lots of “pepper.” 99 Southeastern Track Meet This year makes the seventh ye ar that Southeastern has held a Track and Field Meet for the High Schools of this section. Eveiy year the meet has been carried off in a manner satisfactory to all A High School must win the cup for three consecu- tive years before it becomes the permanent property of that school. So far, Ard- more is the only possessor of a permanent cup. The Armstrong Indians won this year, making their second log on the cup. In the piano contests, Miss Eloise Cunningham of Hugo was declared the win- ner and Miss Lucile Miller of Poteau and Miss Dewey Collins of Boswell tied for second place. In the declamation contest. Mr. Kennedy of Ardmore took first place and Gentry Lee of Hugo won second. In the reading contest. Miss Dorothy Arnold of McAlester was the winner and Miss Georgia Stewart of Durant was second. The East Ward Girls’ Team won the basket ball tournament. They won over Idabel in the finals by a score of 20 to 18.

J 00 To The “Scrubs” It’s awfully hard to be a “Scrub,” To daily take a grilling drub. But if, in doing so, fame Is added to Southeastern's name. Gladly is this drubbing taken. Unknown powers seem to waken In the “Scrubs” and in the first team As if all had dreamed the same dream, Dreamed of games, and dreamed of glory As of old, in battles gory Knights fought for their honor’s sake. Life, its true, is not at stake, But there are bruises to go ’round, And where elbows hit the ground There are round red spots And painful swollen knots. Yes, the “Scrubs” enthuse, As a cannon cracker’s fuse Lighted, causes it to “bust.” May the school, become dry dust, That to the “Scrubs” no honor shows. This is from a “Scrub” who knows. 101 102 103 Coming! Coming! Coming! The Great Combined Concaccenated Circus Exhibiting the wildest and strangest combination Of men and animals ever assembled since Noah’s Ark. You will have to HURRY, HURRY, HURRY, If you get tickets for this performance. Nero pronounced it the greatest attraction Since the foundation of the city of Rome. HURRY, HURRY, HURRY. Flying acrobats, dexterous horsemen, ferocious beasts. All will perform for your satisfaction In the famous Southeastern gymnasium. Don’t fail to see the “Gold Dust” Twins A real live chimpanzee from Africa. The House-Flys dressed in costume, The Human Incubator, a Human Calliope Played by a Baboon. All will be smashing attractions. Senior Circus The circus given by the Senior class of 1916 broke all records for student per- formances, being unsurpassed by the Ringling Bros, or Sells-Floto circuses. At the appointed hour w'eird and grotesque sounds issued from the basement announcing the coming of the “Hoodlum” band. Following the band came the rough riders clad in western costume, cow girls, acrobats, comedians, clowns, weird animals, and trained dogs. The parade was followed by the big Negro minstrel performance. Star features of the minstrel were the songs and dances of the “Gold Dust Twins,” jokes, songs, and dances of the other members of the troupe. The minstrel closed with all the darkies singing to the rythmic tune of “Old Black Joe.” The minstrel over the circus began immediately in the gym. Various features of the performance were Japanese rope walkers, chariot and sack races, broncho bust- ing contests, base ball game by the clowns, acrobatic stunts, and trained dogs. At the conclusion of the circus the crowd then surged into the side shows to see the human incubator, the fat lady, the smallest woman in the world, fortune teller, and the dance of the seven veils. Senior Class of ’16 Believes in Civic Improvement Late in the afternoon in the spring, all the members of the Senior Class as- sembled around that old stump, familiar to all Normal students and visitors. The boys had armed themselves with the proper implements of war fare, picks, axes, shovels, etc. The girls were laden with the necessary articles for the feast which followed the victory. The next morning unsuspecting underclassmen rubbed their eyes in astonish- ment wrhen, instead of the old stump, a smooth walk greeted them. 104 Seniors Promenade With Dogs and Canes The Seniors made their first appearance in the way of class organization and ha- bilaments signatory of their rank, Feb. 1st. The Seniors filed into the gym. from the west door with lock step, canes being carried by the boys in the right hand, and “Poodle Dogs” by the girls of the class likewise, while the left hand was placed on the shoulder of the member in advance of the line. Several class yells were given and a good time was enjoyed by all. R. A. R. Banquet On the twenty-first of January the R. A. R.s entertained with a number of their lady friends with a banquet. They met at the home of the Mrs. T. A. Blakeney, spent about an hour and a half in various social pastimes, and then adjourned to the beau- tifully decorated parlors of the Bee Hive. Here a sumptuous repast, to which every one present did full justice, awaited them. After the feast, there were many witty and brilliant toasts and responses. How- ard Jarrell acted as toast master and introduced the different speakers with true Irish wit. “Rebecca’s Triumph” On March 17th the annual Normal play was staged under the auspices of the Senior Class. The cast -was composed of first year students under the direction of Mrs. Joe Lou Adams. The charming three act play was beautifully carried out and was a great suc- cess in every respect. Special features were given between acts which added much to the evening’s entertainment. The house was full of students and visitors and the many friends of the young artists predicted a bright future for the talent exhibited that evening. Junior Fashion Show One of the most original and successful student stunts was the “Fashion Show” of the class of ’17. Following an announcement made by Harold Haynes earlier in the -week much curiosity was displayed by the student body as to the nature of the entertainment, and when the curtain wrent up they were all there. Many new,striking, and startling costumes were displayed on living models. (All the models -were exceptionally good looking and handsome.) Many forms of evening costumes, street costumes, school costumes, and sporting costumes were shown. The uses and prices of all costumes were explained by Monsieur Howard du Jarrelle. Re- productions from Grand Opera were given throughout the entertainment. Alta Petentes Entertain The Music Club The Alta Petentes entertained the Music Club with a Valentine party at the home of Miss Ruth Mackey. The house was beautifully decorated in hearts. The game of hearts and other contests were engaged in until a late hour, the successful contestants each being warded a Cupid, one called Alta and the other called Petentes. A delightful two course luncheon was served in the colors of the evening. Chafing Dish Club Has First Meeting The Chafing Dish Club had its first meeting of the year with Misses Mary Lou Boyd and Ethel Whale.

He was cons- cious of a peculiar odor, but as he had just come from the biological labora- tory, thought, his hands were the cause of annoyance. In his embarrassment he put his hands into his pockets, wrhere he found several dead crayfish. We hope this first appearance of Mr. Haynes will not be his last, but sincere- ly trust that the next will be more pleasant. Mrs. Admas: “What humor is this essay written in?” Robert Human: “Post-humous.” Mr. W. was eulogizing Mr. Robbins for beautifying the campus, poultry sheds, coops, etc. Ilal: “Yes, I know all about that. He made me paint the inside of those old coops.” “I am delighted to meet you,” said Mr. Seeley shaking hands with Mr. Miller. “Gae took algebra from you, you know.” “Pardon me,” corrected Mr. Miller, “he was exposed to it, but did not take it.” GREAT EXPECTATIONS. A Senior expects to make a credit in “course” (chorus) th:s year. Miss Hallie: “Give the method for making cottage cheese.” Kathleen: “You beat the clabber and hang it out on the line to dry.” Mr. Wickham (advising the Seniors): “Now Seniors, we must have more money for this Annual. We have fail- ed to get it honestly so I suggest that we have a circus.” (Continued on page No. 122) 117 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The history of this class must be written individually, for we are truly “one from many.” Eighteen of this class entered the doors of Southeastern this last year for the first time as regular students. Three only, who were in the Normal depart- ment the first year of the institution’s existence, have survived until this year. Even these would not be present to hark back to the early days had they not spent part of the time elsewhere. Carrie Mae Stephenson, Clarence Crudup, Bryan Nolen, Wilma Mason, Mattie Mae Cole, and James Miller have practically grown up with the school, having been here ever since they left the grades. Miss Stephenson, Mr. Crudup, and Mr. Nolen have distinguished themselves in athletics and in musical activities. Miss Cole spent last year in Rogers, Arkansas, and graduated from the High School there. Five girls from Oklahoma Presbyterian College, Dorothy Whitney, Ethel Whale, Maxey Hart, Camilla McKinney, and Gladys Severance, invaded these precincts this year and proved the worth of the student body from which they come. Miss Sever- ance and Miss Whitney have shown their literary ability, the former as Editor in Chief and the latter as Assistant Editor. Alice Cole Yager and Mary Lou Boyd came to us from Durant High School. Both jhave specialized in Domestic Science, so we entertain no doubts about their future. Hugo High School has sent us three graduates who did postgraduate work there last year; Wyatt Freeman, Lucy McMahan, and Florence Rivers. Mr. Freeman is class president and a tennis champion besides. Walton Ryle and Grady Lewis are graduates of Bokchito High School, who spent one year in the State University and then returned to S. E. N. to prepare for teaching. Thomas H. Reynolds, Fannie Nelson, and Gertrude Nelson have attended the Normal in what time they could spare from teaching, since the first years of the school’s existence. Mr. Sneed and Mrs. Sneed, who have formerly attended only summer sessions, returned this spring as regular students. It is Mr. Sneed’s boast that the most im- portant thing he ever did was to get married. Perle Arnold, William Lloyd Roach, Faye Dodson, Ben Cudd, and Roxye Will- iamson have been with us for several years. Mr. Cudd has been a member of the orchestra three years. Miss Williamson has on many occasions delightfully enter- tained her schoolmates -with her readings. (Edith Moore and Buenos Phillips, 1914 graduates of Caddo High School, have been students of Southeastern for two years. Harry Faulkner, a graduate of Checotah High School, entered this institution last fall. Wade McAlister entered in 1915, from Kingston High School, where he gradu- ated the year before. Mrs. Mary Ethel Johnson, after being out of school several years returned to S. E. N. in the fall, 1915. We have with us four natives of Arkansas; Jetsey Harmon, A. A. Westbrook, G. Preston Beane, and Robert D. Beane. Both the latter have won honors on the de- bating teams. Truly we are “of all kinds and creeds,” but however diverse our previous ex- periences, we have henceforth a bond of fellowship, as we go forth to win new honors for Southeastern. 118 NEEDS All men have their woeful needs And women all have theirs While there are things that men can’t help And women have their cares All men NEED full pocket books The farmers NEED the rain Durant has its straits and crooks Our Normal has its fame We NEED our schools of state and town We NEED things great and formal We NEED some things we do not have We NEED them in our Normal The SENIORS had one NEED one day To put them in their station But the greatest NEED the Juniors have Is some more EDUCATION. —W.

Mrs. Beane: “How was your speech received last night?” Mr. Beane: “Well, when I sat down they said it was the best thing I ever did.” Miss Stephenson: “How did Ameri- ca get its name?” Pupil: “Columbus came over here and didn’t know what else to name it so he called it for his wife, Amerigo Vespucci.” ADS STUDENTS HURRY!

Mr. Dodson: “How many amend- ments are there to 'the constitution?” La Vere (scratching his head): “Two from each state.” Mr. W. “Do you know why?” Ha1. “Naw.” Mr. W. “So the hens will not peck the grain out of the wood.” Monkey: “Why don’t you pass?” Flunky: “I do. I haven’t raised the bid for two years.” At the Tahlequah debate, when it was announced that the judge would retire to make his decision, Robert Rhea rose and left the room. When the decision was announced, the Tahle- quah boys tendered Mr. Rhea their hearty thanks, which he gravely ac- cepted. 122 p p ET M n G 5 ru '1 73F{Sb(t T fiEW v5TUDEHT VfS T nCi B OLOGY GfB.

The moon shone full and clear on the nobleman’s garden. It had once been a splendid garden, but the stone basin of the fountain was cracked, the paths were cov- ered with grass and fallen leaves, and the flowerbeds were choked with weeds. It was grandeur fallen into decay like the nobleman’s own fortunes; and the castle which had once been so beautiful was dark and gloomv as his heart. It was late, but from one window a light beamed. In that room sat the noble- man’s daughter, alone. She was the one bright and lovely thing left to the man who had once been the friend of a king. She sat now with her chin on her hand, her dark hair unbound, waiting,—for what? Under her window a nightingale began his song: low, soft, almost sadly sweet. And yet he knew nothing of ruined noblemen or fair maidens, The girl did not hear; at least, she gave no sign. 131 ALL FSOTOS IN THIS ANNUAL WERE MADE BY T1D1Y STOLE© Their work is high class and guaranteed STUDTO LOCATED UP STAIRS 108-g- North Second Avenue Durant, ....

A tall figure had silently crossed the garden toward the lighted window. His velvet cloak was drawn closely around him, so that he could not be recognized, but when he stood under the window he loosened it, and showed a strong, active form, and a very handsome face. The strange cavalier struck a few soft chords on his guitar, and began to sing. It was an old, old song, but it might have been written for this very occasion. “I implore thee, my lady, to come to the window, for one glance of thine eyes is heaven. Thou are the fairest in the world; the loveliest and the best. Thy voice is divine melody; thy smile, the warm, life-giving sunshine. Wherever thou goest, all bow and hail thee queen, gracious lady. Birds sing for thee their sweetest songs, flowers breathe for thee their sweetest perfume. I saw thee, and became thy slave forever, and yet thy meanest servant is more happy than I, for he can see thee and serve thee daily, and thou smilest upon him. If I were but thy cloak, how close and warm would 1 wrap thee, to shield thee from every rude blast! If I were but thy neck lace, I could lie upon thy fair throat, and thy own hands would clasp me there! Ah, how happy would I be, for I could serve thee, and thou wouldst be pleased with the service!’ The nobleman’s daughter listened and wept, but she did not stir. So at last the cavalier departed, and the nightingale again began his song. It was much more beau- tiful than the cavalier’s, though he knew nothing of cloaks cr necklaces, servants or fair ladies. Not long after, a second dark shape crossed the garden to the same place, hush- ing the bird. This other cavalier was not as tall as the first, but more no one could say, for he kept his cloak wrapped about him. He, too, brought his guitar and sang. “I love thee, sweet lady. Thou bringest blessings wherever thou goest. Thou art a friend to the needy; the unfortunate never call upon thee in vain. Thou hast gladness for the joy of others, and tears for their sorrow. All who know thee, love thee. I am happy in having seen thee. T would not be thy necklace or thy ribbon; thou smilest upon them, they adorn thee, but thou lovest them not, and they are cold and cannot love. Be happy, lady, as thou hast made others happy ” Guitar and song ceased, but there was no movement in the room above, so the cavalier at last went away. The nightingale sang once more, and his song was sweeter than the cavalier’s, though he knew nothing of tender charity or human misery. The nobleman’s daughter had dried her eyes, and she was smiling, but the smile was too bitter for so young a face. What was she thinking ? Whatever it was, she never told, and there was no one there to see. In the morning she married the rich merchant. He was fat and ugly, but he could pay her father’s debts. He loved her truly, and was kind to her in the moments when he forgot his counter and strongbox. The nobleman’s daughter was a dutiful wife, as she had been a dutiful daughter; and if she sometimes had strange thoughts, when she heard the nightingale sing, no one never knew. 145
