Other years like it may l'ollow but they cannot hear more evidently the imprint of the great struggle of peoples. It is evident in the serious, purposeful student body.'.1Vlany have marched away to offer on the altar of country the supreme sacrifice; and those who were left are sobei'ed by their going. Others, restless and idle, have left school, im- pelled by the unrest 0f the times, but the remnant are preparing for a larger patriotic service in the future. What a list of new activities the war has brought. Pep becomes ttPuti-io- tism and effort for ttBonds replaces plans for tibanquets.

Thus Southeastern comes to the end of her first anr year, seeking with lager facilities and with a new consecration to meet the peculiar demands of 01!: times. Our F acuity As a house without a foundation so a senior class without a faculty. T0 students each faculty member represents some stone in our building- for life and for eternity. Sometimes we think we could do very Well Without so many faculty members but let us see. In the Training School Hunt, Rainey, Turner and George lay deep the fundae mental foundation which is builded upon by Millerls .lnathemutics; Pickens' pen- manship; Adamst english; and Dodson's history, Civics and jolly smile, Robbins makes us farmers and gives us practical arithmetic beides; Kl'umtum makes us skilled linguists; Tudor and Wickham teach us how to keep strong; Romig gives us formulas; and Berger sees that we build well. From Ritchey we get much good building material; from Echols help and advice; and McElhaney takes 0111- silver and gives us receipts in return. Our building nearing completion we come to Forbes for painting, Cox and :arleton for music, and Muikel for practical business work. 1, , ; r ' WV Doaama m i ' J ,, W PITCHE f 7:1 ENGLIEM Drlleacnmp W i muuuulflnu . , -CL mama CWN ALLEN , WM;ng XZ ZZ ZZZZ versity rv Uni T.

SOME OF OUR FACULTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Mr. Odam Every student before graduating must do work in this department equivalent to one hour a day for fem years. This includes work in Psychology, Pedagogy, History of Education, Philosophy of Education, Special Methods, and Practice. In addition to this elective course are offeied in Rural School Problems, Rural Sociology, School Administration. Child study and other special phases 01' education. Mr. Odam is the supervisor of this department with Mr Echols as assistant and Mrs. Hattie Rainey and Misses Edna George, Clara Tuiner and Norene Hunt as critic teachers in the training school. At the beginning of their senior year, students are assigned to teach or observe in the training school for one hour each day. The first days are spent in observ- ing the work of the critic teacher and becoming familiar with the work after which they are required to teach the classes themselves, For the use of the training school there is a collection of about 1,000 juvenile books anti pamphlets. Supplementary reading for all the grades is found in this wide collection. DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES Mr. Krnmtum-Mr. Romigz; The department of Foreign Languages has grown and developed in interest with the school. The students are beginring to realize great need for speaking and understanding more than one language. The classes are,.gaining in number and the interest is fast spreading. The classes in Latin and German are doing good work and the Spanish classes are increasing in enrollment. This being due largely to the increased demand in some parts of the state where the growing commercial and social in- tercourse with speaking countries making it necessary to have experienced in- terpretei's. French Which has been added to the course during the last school year has received due consideration from the students who have responded to the course very enthusiastically and much progress has been made. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Mr. E. B. Robbins The course offered in agriculture is designed to give the students training in the sciences of agriculture and the practical application of the scientific prin. ciples to the business of farming. Agriculture must be followed primarily for the gaining of a. livelihood, and therefore it becomes necessary not only to those who expect to teach but to those who engage in active farming to have a com- prehensive understanding of the business aspects as well as the scientific prin- ciples of agi'it-ullure The instruction in agriculture and geography is given by excursions, lectures, text and laboratory work. Emphasis is placed especially on practical work. With the existing war conditions it is imperative that teachers agitate the betterment of production. There has been much done toward the improvement of the campus and the children are displnyiig much interest in gardening this term. DEPAH'ITMENT OF ART Miss Forbes The department of art is for the purpose of directing and exercising the grit- ical powers, judgment, and skill, 01' its students in a manner that will deveIOp their power to appreciate the beautiful as well as their efficiency in teaching. In order to gait. this end our aim is above the mere training in drawing and painting and above the practical applications. The work is so organized that there may be steady growth in good judgment as to form, tone and 001mg through the various grades of the public schools. There are many interesting walks and sketching of different nature scenes all of which tend to increase the interest and arouse more initiative in the students regarding the course. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Mia's Markol The addition of this department in the Spring Terni inai'ks again the rapid progress of S. E. N. A thorough course is offered in bookkeeping, typewriting and shorthand, The room for this department is well furnished with every convenience for the work containing 10 new Smith Premier typewriters. tables and easy chairs, , The enrollment in this department is exceedingly large. Many new pupils were enrolled. taking the greater part of theit work in this department. This is just one of the many features of the school that links business and school life closer together, making a wider selection of elective courses and giving the pupils business opportunities at a minimum cost. Miss Ritohx-y The library has about 4,000 volumes accessioned up to this time in addition ,. -. , t to bulletins and periodicals for reference mmg: e 3 use. A very good collection 01' magazines gimtitt is kept on the shelves which are both :' popuizn- and technical in nature. A few new volumes have been accessioned this year besides the duplication of about one hundred and twenty The magazines on current history and items on Food Conservation are the most popular ones for readers now. it In: The Training School Library has been removed to the main reading room where each Class meets twice a week for reading hours. Considerable more retererce walk has been done this year than previously Following the plan of the library movement over the country the United States Food Conservation Campaign has been carried on here. Posters furnished by the U. S. Food Administration have been used, followed up by facts and lists of Government material and books on the library shelves. DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY Mr. tVickham Southeastern boasts one of the nest departments dealing with the natural sciences to be found in the southwest. It has grown from year to year until it IS crowded, both in pupils and in space. The laboratories are furnished with modern biology tables provided with individual lockers, counipound 111i- crostcopes, dissecting sets, stains fixing baths, imported charts, human models, skeletons, camera, field glasses and many Other essentials. New features in the way of modern equipment will be intalled during the current year, looking to the organization of advanced classes of work in field geoglogy. In connection with the work many field trips are conducted by the head of the department, establishing in the minds of the students a more intimate acquaintance with natural aspects of the sciences The Natural History Museum has grown considerably the past year. Various specin ens are among the collection. The Walking Club is an outgrowth of this department, boasting 01' some sixty members, making it the largest club in the schooi. Many interestmg hikes characterize the features 01' this year, establishing more firmly the name of the club. DEPARTRIENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. H. 0. Tudor It is the purpose of this department to encourage wholesome out of door sports, to provide an opportuiiity for the systematic and correctional exercises of the gymnasium, and to fit those who go out from the institution to teach to assume direction and lendethip in the various fro-ms of athletiCS commonly une dertaken in the public schools of the state. All kinds of athletics, gynmastics, fo!k games. and organization and Supervision of p'ayground activities are offered. DEPARTDIENT 0F HODIE ECONODIICS Bliss Hallie McKinney This department Offers everything pertaining to the business of house-keep- ing, making it One of the most inter- esting courses of the school. Many of the seniors of this year have specalized in this work. The present war conditions have caused many changes to be made in the perparation, kind and amount of foods used. Owing to this fact the Food Ad- ministration Course offereq by the Gov- ernment has been added. This is a very practical subject, teaching the use of wheat, hieat and sugar substitutes, as these are the food essential to win the war. DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT Mr. Dodson-Mr. Romig The growth in the department of history and government during the past year has been shown by the increased number of students who are specializing in this iine of work and the number who. Take these courses by correspondence. students are much interested in this work as is shown by the fact that the walls of this department are covered with pictures and maps, many of Wthh are there because of special student activities. The high schools over the district are beginning to call for students to teach the various lines of work on the departmental plan and they call either 911 the University or on the Normal Schools for these teachers. Thls is an Insplretion; to the student to make special preparation in some line to meet this speciaiifcalali During these war times, the study of present day history has become bothi interesting and necessary. The students and teachers in the history department have kept the walls of the history 1'00111 covered with magazine and newspapex articles, and cartoons and various kinds of pictures calculated to keep before the minds of the students the facts of history as they are occuring every day. Lessons atriotigm and in service for the cause of modern democracy are emphasized. THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT ! In this department it is the purpose to Offer practical instruction in gzeuri' years of preparatory English, this work ranking With that Offered by theybest' high schools. In addition ten units of college English are offered. To grad- uate from the Normal school, each student must take the equivalent of four years of high school English and at least one year of college English. There are several units of elective work in addition to this, and most students take more than the minimum repuirement. The teachers, courses in English are especiaily popular The elective courses in public speaking, story telling and reading also attract a large number of the students. One of the most valuable courses is English No. 53. In this course, much work of an exceedingly practical nature is done, and although the work is elective, there is an ever increasing demand for the course. The work of the English Department requires the entire time of two in- structors and a portion of the time of the third instructor. It is a matter of gratification to those in charge of the EngliSh work to note that there is a con- stantly increasing degree of merit in the work of the students enrolled in this inp department. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC? Miss Stout Music represents life instinstc. It is a natural expression or human feeling ang activities. Music in itself is an inspiration of higher and better things. The leftier and more profound the feeling the higher the class of music required to give it expression. The chief purpose of music in the public schools should be to create a musical community as a contribution to a musical nation, this result can be brought about only when the efforts to develop music in the schools are con- served and bear fruit outside, both during school life and in later life. It seems then as if the greatest duty before us is to uplift the standard of American music. It is not impossible to teach the boys and girls to appreciate the good and accept but the very best. The public school music not only will cultivate a taste for better music in school but will educate the community to demand higher standards through the Sunday Schools, churches, choral clubs, community singing, community orchestras, community festivals, and celebrations. The phonograph and player piano are a great aid in familiarizing the children in the school room with good instrumental and Vocal Illusic, and cultivates in them an appreciation of the very best of the art. The present day plea then must be for a more musical America, with the public school music to bring it about. PENMANSHIP DEPARTMENT Miss Pickens The department of pennmnship has been making rapid progress during the past years. The progress being due very largely to the awakening 0n the part of the pupils and preparatory teachers writing an accurate and legible hand. The instructor has seen the wide interest on the part of the many students and has exerted all her ffOI'ts to make the work more interesting and practible. This department is increasing each term and With the cooperation of the students and teacher, it proves to be among the leading departments of its kind in the State. RIATHEDIATI CS Dir. Millm- The Mathematics Department has had a steady grown during the past years Although the extraordinary conditions of the last two years have curtailed the numln-r ot the Sl'liljol and there has been a tailing trff Lf enrolmmn in su 1e 01 our: departments, this department has suffered least. On account of the value 01' the mathematical subjects to the present conflict the department has tried to coordinate as far as possible, its courses to the needs of the community and the nation. In addition to the regular courses in secondary school mathematics a course for the preparation of teachers to teach arithmetic and a course in higher, and commercial arithmetic have been added. These are intended to he of a great vocational value to the student. The equipment for the department is up to date, making it possible to teach geometry, trigonometry, and surveying in the very best Way. VIOLIN DEPARTMENT Miss Carleton One of the newest departments in Southeastern this year is the course in Violin music, which has met With excellent success. Many pupils have been enrolled in this department during the year, Even several little pupils of the first grades in the training school have made rapid progress with their Violins, The students of this department have taken active part in the orchestra. also in the Musical Appreciation Club avd Oblagato work. At different times the pupils from this department have rendered Very attractive programs at the assembly hour, which was enjoyed very much by students and visiting friends. The work this year has consisted of the study of several noted violinists and their writings. DEPARTMENT OF MANUAL TRAINING Mr. Berger It is the purpose 01' the manuals alts department of this school to give its students a broad and comphehensive view of manual training and at the same time prepare them to teach the subject in our rural and graded schools. In order that this purpose may be realized every course offered in this department will bend itself to meet the needs of those who are expecting to teach these subjects in the public schools. Much of the work is individual. In this way each students pmticular case is considexed 21rd such work offered him as will guarantee his satisfactory progress. The equipment of the depaltment includes forges, presses and drills for metal working, and a printing plant which is used to do a large amount of the printing for the school. Courses in primary handwork, mechanical drawing, cabinet construction, wood turning, and pattern making are offered. PIANO DEPARTMENT Miss Cox This department consists of two courses; Preparatory and credit courses. Students in the normal department who have completed at least three years work in the preparatory course, in a manner zztisl'ac'ory t-'.I the director of the department, may do credit work. The credit work consists of nine courses of splendid piano Lessons and study of noted composers. The lives of Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Schuman. Mendelsshon, Chopin, Schubert, and many other standard composers are studied and their compositions learned. The pupils from this department give many interesting recitals at the assembly period throughout the year. PH YSICS A N D CHEMI S'I R Y Probably no department of our Normal has felt so deeply the effect of the great war as this. Tilese subjects always of the deepest interest to boys enrolled only 15 students at the beginning of the year. This number was depleted by the usual causes, and then again several left for the patriotic duty of filling positions made vacant in the middle of the year bv those who were called in the draft. One, at least, so it is whispered, has fil'ed her pan with oats so full that well, oh so that she does not think it worth while to come to school longer. The gloom of the sadness caused by the absence of a loved teacher has been felt by all. Everyone hopes that with the advent of Mr. Laird perhaps the gentler sex will take a sudden inclination for the work with the apparatus,that the boys dropped in their haste to serve serve their country : .f. . i7 ..

YELL Seniors fuss, Seniors us, i ? l On September the twentieth the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred Eighteen sprouted. Twenty nine small sheets appeared above the ground. Of this number various kinds of plants have made themselves conspicuous throughout the school. Some of the plants threatened to die on account of over work or too much brain food. It was with difficulty that some withstood the cold winter weather. However, during this time a few of the plants reached maturity and went out into the world to make happy the domestic homes in many parts of the state. These wonderful plants have been seen in all parts of the city on various occasions. They have even graced the homes of many of Durant's most influential people, Many times they have been seen on the Streets bringing in the funds which make this book pessible. A peculiar thing about these plants is the way in which they have grown. None have tried to crowd out his nearby neighbor. The interest of one has been the interest of the whole. They have received the same nourishment though in different proportions. With the coming of spring, mere plants Sprang up until there were more than sixty altogether. As some of the rows had been thinned out, these new ones readily filled their places. Fed by the sunshine from the knowledge of S, E, N.'s worthy teachers and the gentle rains of encouragement sent by our good president, the outlook for a large harvest is very promising. However, all has not been sunshine and gentie rains. many times thunder and lightning have descended upon their heads. Some have been stunted by the frequent applications of Psychology, Pedagogy, and Training School. On the morning of May twenty second, what a beautiful sight to behold all the plants in full bloom. Sad to say most of them were White, some had a touching of pink and blue, while a few were almost entirely dark. The seeds of the dark flowers had been planted earlier in another country for Libertyts cause. These flowers are now prepared to send their fragrance throughout the world. Now is the turning point of their lives, each must stand for itself. Let us hope that they will do much good before they shatter and fall to the ground. E. S. ,18. km.

DEPARTMENT OF A RT Hietery ef the Semier CHeee A Treatise on the Life of the SeniOr Class 01' the Southeastern State Nonnal School of Durant, Oklahoma, With Emphasis on Their School W'ork. DEDICATED TO MISS HALLIE MCKINNEY The purpose of this history is to trace the deVelopment of the Nineteen- Eighteen Seniors as a class, in all lines of work, Fiat justitia, rnat, coelum The history of this class began Friday, September thirteenth, nineteen hum dred seventeen, when President Brooks. during assembly, read the names of the Seniors then in school. 011 September twentieth these Seniors met as a class, At once it was found that there were two factions; one, Republicans, composed of members from the Junior class of the preceding year; and the other of Sophomores and new and previously unclassified students, or the Democrats. When elections were mentioned the first faction thought that the important officials should be from their party because they brought with them some money which their class. the year hefore, had deposited for these Seniors. The second faction had no such'ideas and they determined to fight for the officers nominated by them. Finally class officers, sponsors and advisors were elected. Almost before the sponsors and advisers were notified of their election, the Seniors had their I.esignations. New sponsors were tried but alas, they too failed, perchance they were unqualified. There was a real reason, but Seniors do not tell all they know. Anyway, with dogged presistance, sponsorless, the class climbed to heights unsurpassed and unattained by former Seniors. October seventh at :1 t'le't-D meeting at Edna Lyday s the Democrats starred in lobbying an 1 in a general ttfmme upN decided on their Holisso officers. Every one there vowed to be true to his party nominees. The next day at a clasg meeting after some contentious and heated debates, Holisso officers were elected, both parties gaining some officers, the Democrats leading. With the class well organized it was decided that some work must be done. Money was needed by the Seniors and Mr. Echols needed cottOn pickers. Thus it came about that on October thirteen, nineteen hundred seventeen, all day long, some of the Seniors toiled away picking cotton on the Echolts farm south of Durant. Soon after this the publication of the annual was decided upon. Oh! October sixteenth, little did these. students dream of the work you would make them do. Can they know how you developed them? Pgmhaps more important than any other class act was the buying of a fifty dollar Liberty Bond 011 October twenty-second. The last day of this month was given over to selling coffee and ham sznvdwiches down town. During the following Weeks Lyceum tickets were sold, khaki was selected as the binding design for the annual. and the great seal of the State of Okhlhomu was chosen as the design for our Holisso. rings and p ns. In the winter term the rings and pins were selected. pictures were made. collecting was begun, and huge drifts of snow 2rd 21 world of ice were braved in order that we might reach in safety the cempd milestone in our Pouv'gp. Wlime flew by, the winter term's work was completed and the sprint: term was begun. The Operetta ttMiss Cherryblossonf' was given and brought profitable pleasure to the class, as well as to their mnnv school friends. The Lyceum course was finished, lectures were attended. the track meet nassed. and debate; were won. Now came a hard rough stretch of work comnleted onlv bv thoup who nut forth real energy backed by strong wi'l, nowerl The annual was outlined. The work of eaeh deuartment' was left to the sham'M committee elected to that part. Yet work piled up until it was impossible for some of the regular officers to get the annual out on time without help. A few nonconnnissioned Seniors stepped in and took up the load with so much vim and persistence that they became known as the tlFake Staff. The real staff members who were busy, and ltnot, knew that their work would be well done. It is impossible to tell how so many tasks Were accomplished in so short a time. How material was gathered, themes composed, pictures taken, and ar- ranged, work criticised and corrected, and all literary work typewritten, besides doing the work required to keep up four 01- five regular Senior subjects. Surely it was a happy time when these students of this history gathered to- gether for the last time as a class on May twenty-second, nineteen hundred eigh- teen and received their diplomas, knowing that their lessons and their Holisso had been completed with honor. From far and wide they came, steep and rough their pathway, yet notwithe standing- this the true ones, the workers. those whom Southeastern is proud of. were never too tired or busy to lend a helping hand when needed. Thus with the Seniors full of courage, determination, and patrictism we close this history, written because-- , Forsan et haec olim meminfsse J'uvabit GLADYS WELSH. '18. Patrieiiiien ef the Semiere E Q I.- x 3:. e As we study the patriotism of our seniors of nineteen hundred eighteen we realize that we must go deep into their hearts. Then we find that some of them are as true and faithful to our country as it is possible for anyone to be. The greatest acts of patriotism of any of the class members were when some of our boys gave their services to the nation. We miss these boys but oh. how proud we are of them. When the first Liberty Loan was being raised, we as a class bought a fifty dollar loan. W'e hope this can be used to buy a history of the present war for our library. For awhile we were idle, discouraged, because we could not go to France we thought our help was not needed. Gradually this idea was crowded out by the knowledge that if we would hold the front line trenches in France we must first held them at home. To do this we realize that we, who soon are expected to be leaders of communities must do more than our duties and go ttOver the Top in Liberty Loans, War Saving Stamps, Conservation and Red Cross work. We have sixty three seniors, only thirty of whom are in the normal at present, of these six have individual Liberty Bonds to the amount of five hundred t'.t'ty doi- 1211's and we ail expect to buy more as soon as we get to teaching. , The senims in school have six hundred eleven dollars and fifty cents invested in War Savings Stamps and we feel certain that our outside representatives are keeping up our standard in this work. The girls of our class are active workers for the Red Cross. Some of them spend two hours a week sewing, knitting and making surgical dressings at the Red Cross headquarters down town. Otheis who cannot go to town spend their snare titme in the smug room helping Miss Hallie McKinney make clothes for the Belgian children. Besides these important things we are learning to think before we buy food or clothee and trying to be as conservative as we can along these lines. We must 1nd shall do our best, not because we have to, but because back of us stand patriots who have never been surpassed in their patriotism and conception of true freedom and because we come from the most patriotic homes in the most patriotic nation of the world.

Soon other sponsors were elected and they in turn resigned after a few weeks work with us. Thus, left without any outside advice, we quickly glided 1'01 - ward past the milestones until now we are at our journey's end. Looking backward, we offer regrets to those who might have been our sponsors and have made this wonderful journey With us. Wonderful for us because we pass thxs way but once and in passing we have tried to make our stops pleasant and happy as well as instructive. Stops that we will be glad were. as they were, in years to come. As we mounted higher we could look across the plains and $90 the hills and valleys and realize, through our keener vision, Hwhat might be, over there for us if we put our undivided energy into our work. ttWhat might have been. if we had had the rifzht sponsors to lead us and to instruct us on this journey. This has been very much worth while to us and dare we make a suggestion. perhaps it would have been worthwhile to our sponsore. G. M.

The fighting will continue along the same lines at the Normal front, but, improved tactics will make possible larger gains and less skirmishing. The drive consisting of twenty six soldats, was small but will ever be remembered for its ingenious members. Through the magnificent generalship of Carrol Town- send many things of interest were provided at the cantonment. Madame Jarrell's Wax Works was one worthy of mention and served to divert the attenelon for the time being from the heavy volley of schrapnel sent by Kaiser Echols and Kaiser- ines George and Turner in the sham battles in practice work; but always above the din of the drum fire could be heard the stirring strains of the Star Spangled Banner, So long may it wave, O'er the land of the free, And the home of the brave sung by Captain Lillie Swartz of the Junior's forces, and every victory is attributed to the influence of this national air. The Sentries are doing vigilant watch and expect to meet the Great Summer Drive and capture from The. Rural Brigade new recruits for the Senior army. Bombardments of the classification committee will be necessary to secure some extra credit accountel'ments for incoming volunteers; however, the Junior Army is ready for the onslaught and hopes to make this the decisive battle of the year 1919.

The vacant seats at Southeastern are represented by over sixty stars upon the service flag which greets the eyes of students and faculty daily in the as- sembly hall. Those who remain are no less loyal and patriotic than those who have gone to the front as is evidenced by the uniform response of the faculty and students to every war measure which has been presented. In the raising 0t funds, doing hand work, and in directing wartime organizations Southeastern may justly take pride in the notable response and contributions which she has made. President T. D.

The Operetta was presented by the Southeastern Normal Chorus, assisted by members from the Junior Chorus and the Southeastern Orchestra. The three acts dealing with the present time, opened with a scene in a tea garden at Tokio, Janan. The musical features worthy of mention were the chorus of Geisha girls in Jap- anse costumes, who opened each act with a Japanese setting, giving a pleasing effect, the chorus, and the Orchestral numbers. The music sung in four parts by the girls was bright in melody and rich in harmony, The chorus numbers by the American men were clever and when they were joined in the refrain by the Japanese, the Chorus was brilliant. The American girls were beautiful in sport clothes in the first act, and evening dresses in the later acts. Their music was bright. catchy. and a credit to them and their tal- ented director, MiSS Stout. The part of ttMiss Cherry Blossom was carried by Misg Elizabeth Petty.

James Young. was well taken by Hall West. Togo, a Japanese political of high rank. in imported costume, was excepttonatly good. My how he did blow. His mustcal numbers were exceptionally wel1 ren- dered. His attendant, H. B. Prewftt, always within reach was well costumed and splendid in his part. Jessica, VVorthington's niece. Blanche Fontaine, was a perfect type of a beautiful American girl; Harry, who was very fond of, and in a way, jealous Of Jessica, was well taken care of by Cecil Mackin. The stage was one pretty glow of Japanese lanters, natural boughs, gor- geous costumes and smiling faces, as parents and friends watched the debut of the young actors. A11 evening the orchestra entertained the house with their perfect har- monies with Miss Edith Reynolds at the piano, Miss Carleton and Irene Pendle- ton on'the violins, Stella Reynolds on the cello and Emmerretta Wood on the drums. After the last act, the curtain was raised while the chorus sang the na- tional anthem to the audience, who paused in the aisles to hear the last words. + + + Junior-Senior Reception At the home of the president, on the evening of May 3, was tendered the annual reception to the faculty, seniors anl juniors by President and Mrs. T. D. Brooks. The delightful evening in keeping with the attractive decorations of the re- ception parlors and the spring gowns conspired to make the social event a happy number of the commencement program, which was inaugurated with the recep- tion. So kind and gracious were the hosts that the evening was one of delight and jolly conversation, music and the cementing- of friendship which have ripen- ed with the associations of campus days.

Under a big oak which nature had canopied with a beautiful coat of: green leaves the Senior class, twenty-tive strong, partook 0f the good sandwiches, ap- ples, bananas, and chocolate cake. The lunches of Mr, Dodson and Mr. Echols seemed to attract the attention of the class more than any of the others. It was not due to the contest but to the g'reivanoe which it would cause the educators. After the feast, the remaining time was spent on the big rocks in the bed of tShukwa. Splashing water, yelling, and telling funny jokes on faculty were the leading events. At 2:15 the president called the class together on a large rock and each member agreed to hang together until completely exhausted if the occasion de- manded it. The class then denarted fcv the Normal ready to meet any situation which might present itself. HL'RRAH FOR S. E. NS. JAKIJOELS Hurrah for S. E.

H1 wWECQEFJCSESQGQ m ; The litei'aryan phase of life in Southeastern has been very superior in every respect this year. Voluntary service is usually considered superior to that of conscripted, and all 0: the work accomplished by the literary has been voluntary. So- cieties were reorganized and perpetuated by the student body; heretofore eact student was required to belong to at least one literary society. The Alta Petentes, a dramatic club for young ladies, con- tributed in various ways to the enjoyment of the student body. A number of plays were staged durng the year. Of all student activities these have been most delightful. This is the oldest Southeastern Club and its perpetuation is due to the loyalty of its members. The Union Debating Club has shown greater activity than any other organization, for notwithstanding its ranks were al- most depleted on account of extraordinary conditions of our country, the membership equalled in numbers the previous year. This is the first year young ladies have been eligible to membership and four have had the distinction of represent- ing the school in the State Triangular Contests. The work was entirely voluntary and the maintenance of the club under such adverse circumstances, and the high character of work done by these volunteers is worthy of our best commendationsl The Musical Appreciation Club has been exceptionally active this year. They have furnished several programs of unusual merit at the Assembly period. This club is a federated club and contributes its bitfsin a musical way to the clubs of the state. This club has also been volnutary and the member- ship has even been larger than in previous years. Southeastern is very proud of the Musical Appreciation. They remind us ever that music is the only art That can lift a mortal to the sk'fes and draw an angel down.

The banquet was had as a final meeting of the Muskral Apprecia- tion Cfub. The members of the club representing the three departments in musiC, piano, Violin, and voice. were present and they had as their guests members or the faculty and a few members of last yearts Glee Club.

Elizabeth Pettey ............................... President Blanche Fontaine .......................... Vice-President E. 0. Warm .................................. Secretary With a membership of over sixty persons, including students, faculty meme bers, and citizens, the Southeastern Walking Club has maintained its novel career during 1917-1918 with unabated interest and devotion to the Spirit and ideal 0f a wholesome social democratic club devoted to the interests of friendship and phy- sical well-being among its membeis. With the opening of school last fall one of the first clubs to reorganize was the Southeastern Walking Club, and none entered on the new year with greater zest and devotion. A number of cross country hikes were planned and conduct- ed in the delightful fall weather. Among these hikes must be mentioned the cross-country expedition to Blue Falls by the most'difficult route through fields, over fences, by brambles and thickets, and even across streams where bridges were rudely constructed, till the party arrived at the destination for their big camp din- ner. No one who made the trip will ever forget either the strenuosity of the feat, nor the endless jollification which characterized the trip. The Southeastern Walking Club feels that it is now an established organiza- tion in the institution, and boasts of so meritorious an object in its inception that to be known to the students of Souheastern is to guarantee its perpetuity. One of the accomplishments of the year is the selection of a standard emblem pin which is being worn by the members of the club. iThe design is that of an English Walking Shoe, bearing the initial S. E.' W. C. and the year 1918. The de- sign is the gift of Mr. Clarence Allen. a talented pen artist. and a member of the club. The spring days. balmy air, latticed woods, 'babbling' brooks, mossy crypts, and sweet-scented meadows beneath cloud-islanded 'slfes invite the club to renewed ac- tivities and social pleasures during the closing ,days of 'this eventful session, as the vista of 1919 begins to 100m.

Petentes has the distinction of being the oldest literary organization in Southeastern. It was organized in the fall of 1911 and retains the same 10y- alty and enthusiasm which characterized it in the beginning. The work fo'r the year was confined to study of Dramatics. During the year two plays representative of the condition of the times were staged by the mem- her. The Girls in Khaki, and uThe Canteen Girls. The Girls in Khaki was a clever two act comediette, well planned, well staged and well costumed. Thrilling, patriotic songs and the spectacular life of the camp instilled into the lives of the players in khaki and the large audience, who witnessed it, an everlasting desire to be more useful to humanity who is crushed and beaten down by the gigantic tragedy now being played in the West- ern Theater hat the front. The ttCanteen Girls was the club feature of the year. It was a two act drama built upon and circling around the events that confront us each day. The play was original, being written for and by the members of Alta Petentes. Each character wrought out her individual part and imparted a charm and personality that could not be given by the playwright. The first act was representative of the Home Guards Work at the American Red Cross Headquarters; the second, shows the girls At the Front serving the boys soup at the canteen house. The play ends successfully and patriootically with the carrying of an important message from General Haig to General Pershing by a fearless canteen girl. Good bye, girls! I'm going over the top. Keep the house and if I return not don't greive. Itve gone 'tWest with the boys, but ,twill save the Flag! The Alta Petentes as a Club devote two hours each week to the work in the RED CROSS rooms. DEBA TIN G TEAMS EDNA LYDAY HALLIE BURRUS Defeated Weatherfm d JULIA MUNSON CECIL MACKIN Defeated Edmond Alva Won State Championship 'DICUGAR MOORE EARL VARD Defeated Denton. Tex. Dehatimg This year Seutheastern has had a. most successful year in debatiuge-perhaps the most successful year in her history. For the second time Within the last three years Southeastern has won the state normal school championship 0f Oklahoma, winning all four of the debates in which her three teams partiCipatedetwo Of them at home, and two in the home towns of her Opponents. The debating season began with a debate with Denton, Texas State Normal School, the debate being held at Durant. In this debate Messrs. Deuger Moore and Earle Ward defeated the representatives of Denton; Messrs. Adolphus Moore and R. C. Poole. receiving a unanimous decision at the hands 0f the judges. This debate took place April 5th. The good work so well begun by Messrs. Ward and Moore continued throughout the season. On the evening of April 27th, Misses Hallie Burrus and Edna Lyday defeated Southwestern at Weatherford, winning a unanimous decision. At the same time, Miss Julia. Munson and Mr. Cecil Mackin defeated the team representing Central Normal, at Durant. While these events were taking place in the Southern Triangle, Northwestern was Winning in the Northern Triangle, by defeating Tahlequah, Ada having pre- viously forfeited to Northwestern. This left Northwestern and Southeastern as contenders for the state championship. Under a rule adopted by the Council of Normal School Presidents, the winner of the Southern Triangle was compelled to defend the negative of the question: iiResolved, That compensation for in- juries sustained by workmen in the course of their work should be paid from a fund provided by employers and workmen and administered by the state ; and this rule automatically made Mr. Mackin and Miss Munson the representatives of Southeastern in the final contest for supremacy. The final debate took place at Alva on the evening of May 12th, Alva's rep- resentatives being Orlando Sweet and Roy N. Lewis. It was one of the best de- bates ever held in the history of normal school debating; both teams fighting hard in direct argument, and hardev in rebutal. While the oratory of Alvais men was in every way excellent, the convincing and logic and persuasiveness of Mr. Mackin and Miss Munson prevailed, and the judges decided in their favor. This victory won by Southeastern in the home of her opponents, completed her title to the championship for this year. Southeastern feels a just pride in the excep- tional record made by her teams consisting of Moore and Ward; Burrus and Ly- day; and Mackin and Munson, for these students carried Southeasternis banner through the debates of the season without the stain of defeat. A11 honor to these ladies and gentlemen, Who are not only splendid craters. but excellent students as well! UNION DEBATING CLUB The debating club was organized this year in the midst of gloom and dis- appointment; it seemed that everything pointed to failure. But under the direc- tion of Mr. Linscheid, the club began to consider what material they had, debates were arranged, assembly programs given until the club soon gained the promi- nence in S. E. N. that It always held. As the result of the faithful work and perseverance ot the U D. C. new ma- terial was drawn into deLdting and S. E. N. has reailzed the most glorious success in debating this year that it has ever enjoyed, thanks to Mr. Linscheid. ORCHES TRA Owing to the great crisis 01' war that is impending, oui' orchestra has been limited in number to certain extent, but this deficiency by the superior quality of the ones present. First violins have been played by Irene Pendleton and Gertrude McMahan; Second violins by James Morrison, PI-isczlla Uttei'back and Lee Narvelle; while our obligato part has been played by Miss Carlton. Reynolds, flute by Cecil Mackin, trombone by M1 . The violin-cello Crumpton, the drums by Miss by Stella Emmeretta Wood, the first and second pianos by Edith Reynold and Irma Nolen. The orchestra has assisted the chorus in rendering excellent programs, which is due to the excellent supervision of Miss Stout. SENIOR CHOR US The Senior Chorus of nineteen hundred eighteen has proved to be 0119 01 the best in the history of the school. The best voices were chosen from the stu- dent body and cbiiibined to form this chorus. Besides their programs given in the assembly they have filled other appointments, some of which haVe been for the benefit of the Red Cross. First Soprano: Lillie Swartz Stella Reynolds Etna Elmore Emeretta 'Woodi Second Soprano: Irma Nolen Ammie Mae Human Elizabeth Pettey Marguerite Jari'ell Second Alto: Blanche Fontaine D'Lile Jacques Inez Yates Mary Nelson Bass: Cecil Mackin Randolph McCuI'tain Basil Shilling Harry Severance First Alto: E. O. Wann Opal Crawford Gertrude McMahun Jeffie Collier. Bass: Roderick Rennick William Sexton Ernest Sturch JUNIOR CHORUS The members of this chorus have not worked for a credit, but merely for the pleasure which they derive from it. The chorus has been handicapped in a way from fact that they had so many unavoidable conflicts with their time of practice. Some of the members very ably helped in producing the Operetta tthss Cherry Blossom, given by the S. E. N. chorus. Several times during the year they sang in antiphonal form with the Senior chorus, making a splendid showing. They bespeak good material for the reg- ular chorus next yeai: ' Roll of anlwrs.

Iaekeit Balm Basket ball practice began at the very firSt of the winter term. As was expected, however. material was very short, less than a dozen men trying out for places. The Moore Bros. were the only old men out and around them coach Tudor managed to develop a very swift team. We were able to arrange for but four games; all of which, however, were with very strong teams. Our success in basket ball as well as in football was largely due to the excellent work of Coach Tudor who was ever ready to not only tell but to show the boys Hhow to do it. l The team was composed of the following; Fred Early .............................................

N. took on a very unfavorable aspect the first day of the fall term. When Coach Tudor called for volunteers he was answered by about 15 inexperienced men. Of this number only two, Duegar and Prentiss Moore were letter men. Coach Tudor, however, immediately began to whip the recruits into shape. After some three weeks of hard training the Durant High School was engaged for several scrimmages, which served to get the squad ready for the husky eleven of Wesley College. Our men were outweighed considerably, but by consistent playing and good team work were able to defeat the Wesley aggregation 12-6. We next invaded the territory of the Dentonites who tho only after a hard fought battle, were the victors by the score of 27-0. We were continually handicapped by the loss of men and consequently were unable to make very favorable showings against Ada and Edmond the two remain. ing games of theseason.

A severe storm had temporarily damaged the lighting sys- tem of the Normal Building, making it impossible to hold the program there as was planned. The damage was repaired, and the piano, declamation, and reading contests were held in the Normal Auditorium Friday evening. The field and track sports were held at the Fair Grounds Saturday. The entries in all the different events were large and exceptional ability was shown by the young contestants. The events at the Fair Ground occurred on just about the most unpleasant day one could hope to see. The Weather was so cold that the greater part of the spectators returned to the city after Witnessing one or two events, and it was very disagree to the contestants. The raw weather prevented new records from being made, the only new record being that made by McCorkle, 0f Madill, who threw the discus a distance of 105.1 feet. President Brooks presented each of the winners of first and second honors in all the different events. with Baby Bonds and Thrift Stamps, which is an innovat- tion this year in lieu of the customary medals. There were four contestants for the chorus prize, Ardmore, Antlers, Hugo, and Idabel, and each showed exceptional training and culture. The decision was ren- dered in favor of the Ardmore chorus. In the piano, reading and declamation contest the winners were as follows: Piano-first honors, Melba Lightsey, Idabel; Second honors, Evelyn Garrett, Heavener. Reading-First honors, Mildred Mitchell, McAlester; Second honors, Myrtle Banks. Kiowa. Declamation-eFirst honors. Gentry Lee, Hugo; Second honors, Tracy Daughere ty, Kiowa.

Had not, that young officer di'edlor mortal wound she would never have been our grandmother, for she was the second .wife, of a second husband when she left the Green Mountain state with our grandfather fur the far west tn help him hew out a home in the forest. To put aside this camouflage 01' supcrfluous words and reveal the Dul'liose nf this story, we wish to say that our grandmother never used a Mz'ljes'Jc Range. There were no Majestic Ranges in her day.

She lived to realize that the happiest time in :1 woman's life is while She is growing; up with her children and to enjoy the blessings and comforts due her in her old age. She was a soldier's widow. She was an old fashioned grandmother. God bless her memory. May she never know what she missed in this world by not having; a Majestic Range. A. L. SeverancegHardware Co. 209 xVEST IHAIN ST.
