Being back in the good old u. S. recalled many memories of the past and especially of the times spent in Southeastern Oklahoma. One thought leading to another brought vp the school days at S. E. N. and particularly memories of the nineteen-nineteen graduating class. I began to think and wonder where ezch member had wandered and while meditating on this subject, a sign confronted me saying: Thinking this would be a pleasureable past time, I entered. “What is it for you this evening, Mademoielle’? she asked. “I have some friends whom I have not heard from in a long time and I should be glad if you could tell me something of their whereabouts and what they are do- ing at the present time.” I replied. “Gladly”, she answered,” but may I ask you to name them for me so that I may keep each one separately in my mind; Before I begin, please turn this cup of coffee grounds upside down and leave them for a few minutes—now you may remove the cup.” Immediately I began to think of them as we used to sit in the Senior meet- ings. Of course I thought of the Class President first. “You may begin with Cecil Mackin.” After a few minutes of waiting, she replied, “I see a large auditorium which is crowded to overflowing. The occasion is the opening of the Concert season. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is to be the specialty of the evening. The cur- tain rises and the Director appears to make a few introductory remarks. He is a slender man of about thirty years, and has a mass of long, curly red hair. The programme begins with a composition of the Directors, and the audience is held enraptured by the wonderful skill with which the Orchestra performs.” “That is certainly he, because he came from a long line of musical ancestors,” I commented. “Marguerite Jarrell please ma’am.” “In the Sena 3 Room of the United State’s Capitol Building, I see the Presi- dent of the Senate call the assemfilage to order, and the clerk call for new busi- ness. About the middle of the room a d rk haired woman arises and is recognized as Senatress Jarrell of Oklahoma. She desires to be heard upon a Bill introduced by her providing for universal Woman Suffrage as a means to Presidental female candidacy. Her greatest ambition, however, is to further the cause of WOMAN SUFFRAGE.' This last sentence reminded me of Marguerite’s ability to stand up for her rights in school. “Alright the next one is Vallie Fox.” “Ah,” she said. ’T see my own country in this. There is a village which is being rebuilt by the good Americans. The woman who has charge of the work is rather heavy set, an drea headed. She is accompanied by her husband, who came to France in nineteen hundred and eighteen to help free our country, and MADAME de COOHELET SPIRITUALIST READER. READINGS $5.00 EACH. who shows marks of the pain he suffered to rid the world of the King of Pots- dam. Do you recognize the man, Madamoiselle? she asked. “Yes, Thank you, I replied, I believe I do. Now tell me about Sallie Leo- nard. “Wait just a minute, She said, “These people are so far apart that I must have time to make the transit. Now, I have it. I see this young lady in a western state which I believe is California. She is connected with the work that she has always loved. Her position is that of Head of the Department of English in the State University. “Oh, good, I replied, “Now tell me about Alice Apple. “She is a dark eyed girl. She is now happily married, and has her summer home in the Rocky Mountains. At present I see her in an artist’s apron with her easel painting a landscape of the neighboring mountains. She has become world famous for her mountain landscapes. Thinking of Alice caused me to think of her friend who I named next. “Ettie Gibson, now if you please.” “This woman is doing a work for which there has long been a great demand. I see her ministering to the need3 of the suffering natives of India; but her prin- cipal work is teaching in the Methodist school located at Calcutta. She will re- turn to the States within two year’s time after celebrating her marriage abroad. Her husband to be is a native of North America, and is engaged in the Chewing Gum business in India. After a visit in America they will return to India to make their future home. “How interesting! Clyde Clack is next in line. “Clyde Clack (with a smile). Down a long dusty road comes a tall man, un- der his arm I see a number of books and in his hand is a lunch basket. As he comes nearer I see he is wearing spectacles, he is slightly gray over the temples, and has a tired look on his face. With him are a number of dirty faced urchins. With a moan I said, “Poor Clyde is still teaching school. “Is he the last one? “No, no , I answered. The name of James comes to my mind and I say “I want to know about Gail James. ‘T notice a column of a leading New York society paper. Mrs. J. V. Kane, nee Miss Gail James, one of the latest brides of the season and one who promises to be a society leader of New York was the honoree of a reception yesterday at the beautiful country home of Mrs. Van Buren.’ Oh, I am about to forget Irene Harris! “This takes you back to your old home town, Durant, Oklahoma. It has greatly improved during your absence. The town now has several sky scrapers, the largest of which is twenty stories high, known as the Ritchey Building. I see a three hundred pound man being ushered into an office on the last floor. On the door I see a sign painted: IRENE HARRIS REAL ESTATE DEALER. The big old man wants to trade some land to her for a house and lot in Durant, She does not think it a good trade. Tells him so, and refuses. He argues and insists. She comes down with her fist on the desk, with an “I have told you once. Sir”. He persists and the little lady ushers him to the door. “One little woman makes me think of another. What has become of Winnie Raines?” H “Tis a sunny ville in Southern Italy. A young woman is sitting out among the flowers of her garden enjoying the invigorating air of a beautiful fall evening. She is now the wife of an Italian Count whom she met while he was an ambassador to the United States. “Umn humh, and where is Pearl Shull?” The little woman stirred the coffee grounds and looked closely. Then she said, I “A concert is being given by a great Hawaiian orchestra. The Star Spangled Banner is being played. The pianist is standing while she plays; she must be an American j although she wears the garb of a Hawaiian. Here my memory failed me and I sat studying. “All right are there any more?” she asked. “Really, Madame, “I said, “there are several more but I can not think of but three. There are first, Dollie Ritchey.” “Not far from here there is a charming little beauty parlor. The proprietor is without doubt as lovely as her beauty parlor. She has become rich on account of the popularity and the excellent standards of her parlor. “Second, Robert Sprague.” “This gentleman was elected, during the year 1925 as President of a society known as the S. P. L. W. F. S. T. (Society for the promotion of Little Work for i School Teachers). He has filled his position with much skill.” “Third, Carrie Head.” “During the time so many soldiers were recovering from wounds, a great French scientists invented a compound which eaten during a voyage on the Atlantic Ocean, would increase a person’s original height about one-fourth. Miss Head took the treatment and on the voyage the young lady came near losing her life twice. Once she fell overboard, and the other she had not gotten use:) to the locking of the boat. She gained the desired height, and is now living happily at 9645 Twenty-third street in this city.” “Well, I never heard of such luck. 1 11 go immediately to see her.” Whereon I left , and to my surprise and wonder Carrie was really taller than | I was. After much rejoicing at seeing each other and relating of our experiences, Carrie proposed that we go to the theatre to see Carman played. A new star was to make her debut, but neither of us knew who it was to be. We arrived too late to see first act, but got there in time for the specialty be- tween acts. The one for the night was a most wonderful toe dancer. Directly 1 Carrie exclaimed. “Well, I wish you would take those glasses and Took who that is.” “I almosj; fainted, because—to by utter amazement it was—Carol Townsend. The curtain was raised for the second act, and the scene was between Carman and Don Jose. This time I said: “Carrie, wish you would look who those actors are.” Oh, I can scarcely believe my eyes. If that isn’t Anna Lee Baxter and Clenn Laffoon.” ; We sent in our cards and dined with Miss Baxter and Mr. Laffoon, after- | wards. During the conversation they both admitted that they got their inspira- tionfor singing at a Junior-Senior party given at the heme of Mr. Brooks who was President of the school during their Senior year. T. R. ’19 N. G. ’20 Last We, the Senior Class of the Southeastern State Normal School, situated in the city of Durant, County of Bryan, State of Oklahoma, in the United States of America, being sensible of the uncertainty of life and of the certainty of our exit from the aforesaid school, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and test- ament, hereby revoking any and all former wills and codicles by us made at any time.

In addition, we wish to bestow upon them a part of the tal- ent in music which is left after the Seniors depart. Fourth: We do hereby bequeath to the Junior class the friendship of the Sophomores. It is our will that they may enjoy some of the thrills of delight we experienced in the History of Education class; some of the love and respect for the practice teachers which we installed in the training school for children; last but not least, we wish to leave for them the privilege and pleasure of pub- lishing “Holisso IX ' Fifth: We do hereby give and bequeath to the critic teachers in Training School a corps cf good natured practice teachers who are willing to work while they enjoy the good programmes in assembly. Sixth: We do hereby bequeath to the training school children our abstracts and themes which we wrote ourselves in the History of Education class in order that they may be preparing for the difficulties we encountered. Furthermore, we wish to give them our ability in controlling our tempers which we developed while teaching them. Seventh: We do hereby bequeath to the student body our zeal and enthu- siasm which we manifested in athletics; and in addition our faithfulness and fond- ness in burning midnight oil. Eighth: We do hereby bequeath to the Biology Department all of the in- sects in our back gardens, all the stray “felis domestica” which pester us, and last of all too “Strongy Locentrotus Drobachiensis.” Ninth: We qo hereby bequeath to the Education Department all the new discoveries in pedagogy we make in our fields of work and the books and pam- phlets we write on the same to be placed in the library. Tenth: We do hereby bequeath to the English Department all the new words we have coined to express the ideas we acquired during our so-journ in Southeast- 1-1 ern Normal School plus all the classic poems and essays which do appear in our Holisso. Eleventh: We do hereby bequeth to the Music Department the duty of mak- ing more proficient musicians out of the coming Seniors. Twelvth: We do hereby bequeath to the Faculty a body of Seniors who are entirely unfamiliar with the aforesaid jokes; for their hard work we leave them all due credit for what we Seniors are and may ever be; for next year’s Holisso we will provide each one of them with a new cut. Thirteenth: We do hereby bequeath to the Southeastern Normal School our love and gratitude for what she done for us; may she in some future date have a more efficient corps of janitors; lastly, we leave to her our volume of the Holisso as a lasting remembrance of our work and lives in this school.

In the halls, and in the doorways Thinking and dreaming of more school days. Numberless as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky-way, They came two at a time, Freshmen and Soph’mores on that day Peered in corners with side-lin gl ;nces Looking for credits lost In advances. The Juniors with them mixed, but they Had outdone the teachers, with apology; Schemed out credits in the fray And become Seniors because of Psychology, 1 wondered, and wondered, but little knew Of full heads, there were few. The Seniors with grins on their faces In line with Diplomas took their places, Then all in a flash everything grew still For some one made mention of Military drill. Then the same thought rushed into every head. Be still beating heart—we’re through with History of Ed.” —Alice Apple ’19. lTIONS fublmttttms Editor-in-Chief.

The paper is “Of the students, by the students, and for the students.” One of the classes in the Printing Department sug- gested the idea of a school paper, and within less than three days after the suggestion was submitted to the student body, a complete staff of editors and reporters was chosen, and the paper was named. Each student in school feels that the paper is of vital concern to him and we think we shall have a sheet that will be a credible reflection of our school activi- ties. NA NA NO WA S(M TiiKASTi;u.

This year under the supervision of Mrs. Joe Lou Adams and Miss Haydee Ritchey as sponsors the club pro- fitably studied the short story and the art of story-telling. “Loyalty is the watchword: and as long as there is a Southeastern, there will be an Alta Petentes Society to lead the literary activities.

It came into existence in February of 1919, as a result of a group of young men ap- proaching Mr. German, head of the history department, and suggesting the forming t a club for oratory and debating. The glowing roster of members of the recent session compose the latest born club of young men, and it is believed that it is destin- ed to be the best of Southeastern’s oratory societies. With a model constitution adopted, the first officers were L. B. Pritchett, president; C. Mackin, vice president; Hugh Ownby, secretary; Euelle Choate, ser- geant at arms, and G. Mackin, press reporter. The inaugural address by the presi- dent, required by the constitution is an important feature of the installation of of- ficers at th . beginning of each term of three months. Only those students of good standing in classes, and evidencing literary talent and inspiration, may be voted into .membership At the weekly meetings several interesting programs of addresses, talks on current topics, orations and debates, were rendered during the four months of the Club’s existence; the debates on the United States entering the Leigue of Na- tions and the independence of the Philippines, being among the best. The Club was honored by having furnished three of the debaters on the teams against the two Normal schools, on the question of government ownership of railroads. The Government had in the army and camps about all of the experienced debaters, Dickerson being the only man with college experience. All were heavily loaded with work making up for the loss of the ‘Flu’ month. But, Dickerson, with one week’s preparation, accompanied Miss Fay Kincaid to Edmond; Hubert Dees and Hugh Ownby fought Alva at Durant. Both teams had to meet experienced debaters from the other colleges, so they were hard fought intellectual battles. It was the judgment of those present that our teams debated in a forceful, skillful and manly way, reflecting great credit on the Club and the institution. Their experience will enable them to prepare and fight their next battles even more efficiently than in the past year. The spirit prevailing in the Club is, joy of the contest and the profit therefrom. After the Club had been established, it began to look around for friendly rivals. Not finding any, it turned Its face toward the Alta Petentes, a written mes- sage of good will and co-operat on in literary activities of the Normal was sent. The spirit was reciprocated, and ever since the two clubs have had the sentiment of friend- ship and the idea of team work in literary activities of the student body. The two clubs joined talent and efforts in presenting the regular commencement play of the Nor- nal, and on an evening later, celebrated the league of literary interests and cemented the feeling of friendship, in an elaborate banquet at the Presbyterian Church. The officers to be installed at the first meeting in the fall of 1919, are as follows: Grady Eaker, president; Gilman Mackin, vice-president; Claude Eaker, sec- retary; Harold Moore, press reporter; and Arthur Denniston, sergeant at arms.

THLETICS 1-1 I =7 Football The 1918 foot ball season started off In excellent shape with plenty of good material and lots of “pep.’’ There were several experienced players on thef team and several promising high school men who showed up fine. Coach Laird was using a new formation, and the men were getting off like veterans. Just before the first game, when the men were in the pink of condition, the influenza broke cut and foot ball was suspended. The doctor in charge, of the men who were candidates for the S. A. T. C. forbid the men from playing or practicing foot ball for fear it would make them more susceptible to influenza. School was closed for several weeks and then the men were inducted in- to the S. A. T. C. The time allotted to foot ball on the schedule was only an hour, the men being required to be present at retreat at 5:30 in their uniforms. This rime was entirely too inadequate to whip a foot ball team into shape and get them lo playing real foot ball. The men wrere unable to get their minds on foot balll Thev were never in proper physic .1 and mental condition to play real classy foot ball. Coach Laird said that the season was the most unsatisfactory one he had ever worked through. While the men played good foot ball, yet they did not show up nearly as good as they should have. McCorkle was elected captain of the team and proved a very good leader. He was the best player on the team, making most of the gains for the team. Pickens, Otterson and Grider, the other back field men played good foot ball all of the timey Battle and Mackin held down the end positions in nearly every game and were always found in the game and fighting. Earley played quarter and was a heady quarter back. Rose, Ray, Deane, Schreiner, Cain, Bigham, Bloom and Boyet held dowrf the line positions on the team. Two or three of them were crippled most of the time so that they could not show their best. Rogers had his leg broken in the first game at Austin College. He was a fine player and had he played the whole season the opponents would have learned to fear him. Schreiner took his place at center and was always found in the thick of the play. There are several of the boys who will make good foot ball players and it ;s hoped that they will be found on the Southeastern team this f ill fighting for places. Coach Laird hopes to have most of them back, and if he does, we can pre- dict lor Southeastern a state championship team. 1-1 ASKET BALL The basket ball team of Southeastern was a wonder, making the best record for the school of any team which has ever been turned out. The material for basket ball looked so poor at the start of the season that Coach Laird decided not to play any outside games but organized four teams for inter-class basket ball. The teams started late, not beginning practice until the sec- ond week in January. They developed so very fast that Coach W| Laird decided to try a game so as to try them out. The team was I made up of men who had but very little experience in the game. I The Commerce Normal came for the first game and took a severe beating. They were followed by the T. C. U. of Fort Worth which were able to nose out the normal boys in the last few minutes of play. Edmond Normal came for the third game. The Edmond boys had played many games and were in their best form. The game was fast and hard fought neither team scoring a point for twelve minutes. Edmond won the game when Pritchett was put out of the game near the beginning of the second half. Ada came for two games and lost by very large scores. The best game of the season was with Austin College. Austin College de- feated our boys at Sherman by a good score but they took the short end of an ex-� cellent game on the home court. The boys challenged the Weatherford team for the state championsip and all arrangments were made satisfactorily to both teams championship in doubt. Cain and Bivens developed into of the best guards that have ever repre- sented the normal school. They were always found facing their opponents making scoring almost impossible. Hewitt was a center hard to beat. He developed into a great shooter. Earley was elected captain and was always found in the game fighting and his dribbling was wonderful. Pritchett played a good consistent game. The same team will represent the normal next year. Ownby a sub. will make a place on the team this coming year. EARLY CAPTAIN AND FOR- WARD 1-1 I MACKIN Sub. PRITCHETT Forward BIVINS Guard •a r HEWITT Center CAIN Guard Base Ball Base ball was tried in the normal for the first time in the history of thd school. A team was turned out which made a very creditable showing. Coach Laird secured a berth for the team in the city league of Durant. While the team did not win the first series yet they were feared by every team in the league, in fact the normal team succeeded in defeating every team and never lost a game to Roberta. In the second series the normal team looks like a winner. Austin col- lege won two fast games from the team on Austin College grounds but they did not come to Durant for the return games. Farmer developed into a fast pitcher and with Earley as catcher they made a battery that was feared by all of the teams. Farmer has plenty of smoke and much speed. Earley is a good hitter and the other teams soon learned that stealing} second was out of the question. Cain and Jackman were two of the best infielders id the city league and both are good hitters. Cain was elected captain and made a good) one. Davis on third played a good game and was always there with “pep.” Garner, Sprague, Pritchett and Malone covered the outfield in good fashion Sprague covered a world of ground. Coach Laird covered the first sack in the citv leigue and played good ball. Miller played several games in the outfield and fielded good and was sure hitter. The coming year should see the normal with an excellent base ball team. Pritchett, p. Laird, lb and coach. Sprague, c. f. Farmer, p. Bivins, p. Earley, c. Jackman, 2b. Cain, s.s. Davis. 3b.

U. met in Dallas the team won 35 points and second place. At the Oklahoma Inter-Collegiate meet they took 12 points and fourth place in the meet. Dickerson was an excellent runner taking the mile and half mile in the Dallas meet and in the state meet he took second in the mile in fast time of 4 min. 43 sec. He started training late but made good records. Bivins was an all- round athlete. He tied in the pole vault for first place both at Dallas and thef state meet. He won the shot put at both meets. He placed in the broad jump, high jump and discus at the S. M. U. meet. With a little more training he will make a wonder. Gibson won the polevault at the S. M. U. meet and made a good record in the hurd- les and high jump. Moore took a third in both pole vault and high jump and shot put at the S. M. U. meet. He also tied for third place in the high jump at Oklahoma Conference meet. Tyree took a point in the mile run in the S. M. U. meet which; was his first meet. The normal should have a great track team another year with all of thes o men back and a few others who are promises. Coach Laird said that he was well pleased with the track men and their work. jBraufii's MISS SALLIE MAY LEONARD MIS3 WINNIE DAVIS RAINES 1-1 I 13- 19 £0- 1 id o- 2 4- -Registration and classification begins—Everyone talking and shaking hands with everybody else. -Great encouragement for the girls.

HOME COMING BANQUET OF S. E. N. GREAT SUCCESS The home coming banquet of graduates and former students of the Southeast- ern State Normal school last Saturday night was one of the red letter events of the institution. A great many graduates, former students and faculty were present and enjoyed the occasion. They went away from the banquet feeling that S. E. N. is the most loyal institution in existence. They left with a determination to do great things to help make the school the best of its kind in the West. The real college spirit was present and permeated everyone present. The toasts were perhaps the best that have ever been delivered at a banquet in Durant. They were all masterpieces of literature well suited to the schcol and occasion. Those toasts which have a true laudable spirit of the institution which make graduates and former students happy that they were one time affiliated with Southeastern. P was combined with sound judgment and future predictions of great things for this great school. The Girls Glee club and orchestra of S. E. N. under the direction of Miss Stout gave a very entertaining program. President T. D. Brooks acted as toastmaster, and made all feel at home. Southeastern was the heading of all toasts. P. E. Laird re- sponded to the toast “Her Former Students.” Supt. George W. Coffman, of Carter County spoke on “Her Influence;” Miss Bess Nolen on “Her Associations;” Prin. Houston, of Idabel on “Her Summers;” Mrs. Howard Jarrell on “Her Part in the War;” Supt. J. T. Sneed of Talihina on “Her Empire;” and Senator John Vaughn on “Her Future.” The banquet, a delightful one, was served by the ladies of the Christian church. Those present voted to make this an annual affair to be given at track meet times. JUNIORS AND SENIORS ENTERTAINED On the evening of February 13th the Juniors and Seniors were grac- iously entertained by President and Mrs. T. b. Brooks at their home on the Norn al Boulevard. When the guests had all assembled, Mr. Brooks created universal de light by announcing that the classes would be given a chance during the evening to complete their credits for the school term; and then a unique progressive game of “credits was introduced. After nine scores the Juniors were given Senior ranking and the Sen- iors were graduated being presented with diplomas which on being opened revealed the following program: Chorus “It's the way we have at Southeastern--------------Junior Class Quartet, “Old Black Joe”___________________Clemm Laffoon, Clyde Clack, Thelma Ritchey, Pearl Schull Duet, “K-K-Katy”______________________Ettie Gibson and Annie Lee Baxter Trio, “Yankee Doodle’ ______________Carroll Townsend, Cecil Mackin, and Marguerite Jarrell. Quartet, “Long, Long Trail”__________________Vallie Fox, Irene Harris, Mr. Laird and Mrs. Gates Solo, “Juanita”____________________________________________Alice Apple Miss Alice Apple, who made first honor in the game, was presented with a bouquet of carnations and ferns, daintily tied with pink maline. As a commencement climax Mrs. Brooks gave a “banquet” to the classes and the students lingered at the tables to relate their credit ex- periences and sing Alma Mater songs together. S. E. K GIRL WEDS On last Friday at the home of Mrs. A. A. Kirby on Main street, Misses Carroll Townsend and Emma May Trimble gave a miscellaneous shower for Miss Jo Crudup, who was married to William McVeigh of McAlester. Jo will be greatly missed by the students and she takes their best wishes with her for a long life of happiness. EASTER Misses Jane Markle and Clara Turner entertained the women members of the faculty a number of nights ago with a most delightful Easter party. A poster contest in which “eggciting eggsperience’’ of the company were de- picted in an eggcentric” manner and forty-two were the chief diversions for the evening. Miss Forbes, as was verry. appropriate for an art teacher, won first in the. poster contest;_and Miss Hunt won first prize in the forty-two rounds while Mrs. Gates was awarded the booby. The prizes were amusing Easter favors. The party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Saunders at 807 N. Seventh street and all in the rooms was a wealth of wild dogwood and numbers of little brown bunnies, some of them real live ones, set forth the Easter season. Mr� . Saunders and Miss Armilda Saunders assisted the hostesses in serving delectable refreshments. The Sophomores were the happy guests of their adviser, Mr. Berger, and their sponser, Miss Bernice Carlton, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Berger several evenings ago. Many interesting and original games were participated in. but perhaps the most enjoyable and exciting was the complicated problem of dressing up an egg. Many rare examples of art ability were displayed making the rice a very close one, although the decision was finally given in favor of Mr. Brook’s speaking likeness of the familiar and wellknown “Jiggs.” Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake in the Sophomore colors, pink and green, gave the f'nishing touch to a most pleasantly spent evening. A MID-SUMMER NIGHTS DREAM Programs rendered by the children of the S. E. N. Training School never fail to please the audience but the little operetta, “A Midsummer-Night’s Dream,” pre- sented on last Wednesday by the Third and Fourth grades, under he direction ofl Mrs. Rainey and Miss Stout was particularly appreciated. Merry laughter from the branches of a beautiful green tree announced the presence of Shakespear’s Puck, and his little friends Peaseblossoms, Starlight, and Sandman, together with the Fireh flies, the Seedbabies, the Bees ect., appeared and the charming group of dainty crea- tures sported in the moonlight before King Oberon and Queen Titania of Fairyland. Starlight’s frolic with Robert Louis Stevenson’s Shadow child was especiallly pleas- ing. It would be hard to find a dreamfantasty any more enjoyable than the operetta; it set forth many of Francy’s famous children and many nature-truths in a most ef- fective manner. The musical dramatization of Mother Goose arranged by Misses Hunt and Stout and presented by the children of the Training School from the First and Sec- ond grades has been voted the most enjoyable assembly program of the quarter . The Mother Goose rhymes have formed the basis of much of the constructive words of the two primary grades during the school session and the sipirited dramatization testified that the children have been skillfully guided in their educational steps. The rogue and heroes of Mother Goose land were depicted with genuine imaginative little comvent'ons such as “no, not I,” seemed t ospring from habitual diction. Every person who witnessed the program felt the significance of the statement of the eminent educator who said he could invariably detect delicate suparlorities among pupils who had enjoyed their Mother Gocse legacy. BOX SUPPER STUNTS The stunts presented by the various classes of S. E. N. at the Senior box-supper were thoroughly enjoyed. Much talent was evidenced and the spectators were ap- preciative of every effort. First, appeared the Freshies in a circus and such a circus was never before seen in Oklahoma. The ring master exhibited tight rope walkers, a snake charmer and a real live tiger, but best of all were the monkey and organ grinder and the twin clowns. Next, came the First Year in a depot scene and the hurry-scurry of the handsome men, beautiful women and spoiled children were typical of New York it- self! The dignified Minister, the deserted baby, the blind man and his dancing' daughter, the newly-weds, the dudeish salesman, the husband-hunter and the negro porter were all there. This was the prize-winning stunt. After the First Year the representatives of the Sophomore class greeted the l udienc?, and they showed extreme ability in bringing out the soft “low’” tones of the Hawaiian Ukelele and in rendering the Hula Hula dance. Then came the Juniors who were kind enough to restore som eof the Seniors’ lost books. Among the books found bearing the Senior labels were “Goldilocks, and the Three Bears,” an abridged “Mother Goose,” and “Freckles.” Following the Juniors were the Seniors; they appeared in a style show. Fash- scenes originated by the Caesars and it seems that improvements have come w’ith every passing generation. No doubt people would be glad to read detailed descrip- tions of the costumes but it would take columns of space to do justice to the crea- tion. Then last, but not least, came the Second Year in a country school of the1 old fashioned type where the rod held sway. Fifteen Rahs for Southeastern! 1-1 NORMAL SENIORS ENTERTAINED Saturday morning May the tenth at ten o’clock the seniors of the Normal were happily entertained by Miss Haydee Ritchey with a unique party, the first of the sason. Being in a morning mood, that is gay and happy in spirit, the time passed only too quickly at progressive games. The decorations were of the spring time flowers and roses, with pennants in the center of which was the Senior ‘19” penant, in gold and white. The hand painted score cards carried out the class flower, shasta daisy, and the class colors, with ’19 artistically woven in as leaves. The young ladies' prize a ‘‘Lavender Book” went to Miss Gibson and the young gentlemen’s prize, the companion “Lavender Book’ went to Clyde Clack. Even the lunch cloths and napkins carried out the motif of the de- corations ‘1919” in class colors.

We feel the need of some of those pies we had for supper although we ate! a whole one each. “Keeny Bowden,” whispered Bill Anderson, my best pal, “I’ll bet you that old cook ate those pies before he went to bed.” “Hold your tongue, Bill,” said Jack Chally softly. “I say so,” added Rob Clinton, “You guys sound like a steam, engine. You’ll wake the lieutenant or the old cook and you know what there’ll be to pay.” “Oh, boy, what joy!” exclaimed Jack in an undertone when we had reached the pantry safely and found the pies. “Well, Keeney,” Jack ventured, picking up. his second pie—he could always be depended upon to lead the conversation—“I’d like to know what made you desert Ruth tonight at the dance and go sky-staring mad over that Miss Carolina Ann Larkspur. I must say she is some lark. She is perfect, a specimen of the newly rich oil-magnate’s daughter. Ruth is worth about a hundred Miss Larks. It would be a good joke if Ruth would not have a thing to do with you.” “I wish you’d have the manners to keep your bill out of my business, Jack Chally,” I replied angrily. “It is not for you to but' into my business. Ruth is noth- ing save a little peach-blossom while Miss Carolina Ann Larkspur is a real sport. I don’t suppose Ruth will make up with me and I’m not worried. I then added a curt, “Good night, gentlemen, I am going to bed,” and bolted out. The bugle shrilled through the fresh morning air. I hated to hear it but I got out of bed for the sake of maintaining my old reputation of always being prompt. Just as my feet hit the floor the top-sergeant came into the room. “You will be given an extra hour to dress,” he announced, ‘but that does not mean more sleep; it means extra-ordinary attires.” “Wonder what’s up?” said one of the boys as the sergeant left the room but no one seemed to care to answer. I spent the whole time in dressing and I was ex- ceedingly proud of the result of my labors. I could not detect a single flaw as I gazed into the cracked mirrow that went the rounds among theboys. Directly after breakfast we were ordered to form in line for inspection and after roll call the lieutenant came up with a strange officer wearing the insignia of a! major whom he introduced as Major Hasdale. “Gentlemen,” began the Major, “it is my great pleasure to come among you today to confer the lieutenancy,upon one of your number and to select a few men to accompany him across the seas for immediate service.” The information came like a sudden thunder bolt. Each man gasped; then ferverent prayers for the highest honor flew aloft. “The following men will please step forward,” continued the major, “Bow- den, Clinton, Hale and Brown.” My legs shook insrde their casings but I managed to step forth. The Major eyed me from head to foot and then he named the lieutenant. “Mr. Keeney Bowden has been honored with the lieutenant’s commission.” My legs iremDled still more violently and I heard nothing more until he said, “You four young men will be prepared to start for New York in five hours.” The hours flew away on wings. Soon we were speeding north. At Kansas City we got on a special train loaded with selected S. A. T. C. m,en. Wie arrived at New York one day before our ship was scheduled to sail and that night a big' dance was given for us. The eastern girls were charming—I though of neither Ruth nor Miss Larkspur. As each S. A. T. C. man boarded the transport, he wished that he might' en- joy a bout with a German-sub and the wish was not in vain. One morning about day- break, I got up and walked out to the deck rail. I raised my field glasses and all at once I saw a dot out on the water. It was a submarine. I ran to the men who were on guard but to my utter astonishment I found them all asleep. What would havd become of us had I not been there? Even at this late moment we were able to avert the pending disaster and we sent the old German-sub to the bottom, amid much whole- hearted American rejoicing. The commander declared that I deserved a special ser- vice medal. We landed at Brest and then went on to a rest camp. Here I was assigned my company and in a short while we were at the front. Finally, the long-looked-for day of our German offensive came. We knew it was the day but we had not yet learned the hour. To lessen the intense excitement of the waiting period I gave myj men a talk in which I told them what I expected of them and what they could expectl of me. An orderly approached. “Lieutenant Bowden, saluting me, “you are or- dered to take your men over the top at five after three. I took out my watch and patiently counted the passing minutes. At the end of the allotted time I gave my orders and led my men over the top without a bit of fear or excitement. We got into the fiercest part of the battle. Shells were falling around us like hail. Above the clouds airplane battles were raging. Men were lying on the ground either wounded or dying but I could not go to tbeir aid. The air we breathed) was filled with smoke from the guns and cannons. Darkness came gradually. After, some time the blackest darkness I had ever known covered the land. In the darkness I became lost from my men. I had no idea where I was. Suddenly the place where I stood was illuminated by a weak light and I peered about. I was alone—neither a friend nor an enemy near—and I was within the enemy lines. No, I had been mistaken! Only a hundred yards away was a machine gun with a group of men surrounding it and the men were Huns. The light went out. Had I seen as shell hole about fifty feet' away from the machine gun? I crawled toward the spot. Yes, there was a crater. In it I could get chances a tthose Potsdam lovers and not be discovered and perhaps I should not be hurt by their shots since I was close to them. I felt their foul breath on my face but I knew it was only imagination; and too, I seemed to hear evil whispers. The earth beneath me jarred and bullets whistled over my head. The HunsI were directing shots towards our line but some blessed American was returning the compliment. Now was the time for me to use my gun. My first shot must have gone wild but at the second discharge I heard a curse and a groan. I knew that the bullet bad lodged in the body of a boche. I pulled the trigger again and again with the game success. At length, I heard a loud curse and t threat coming from near the man 3hine gun. I aimed. In an instant the machine gun ceased. Surely the last Germani had been killed. I crawled out of the shell hole and stood up in my self-centered glory. Ah, something cut my leg. An American bullet had struck me. I sank upon the ground. I must pay for those Germans. Well, I was willing very willing. I just wondered how Miss Larkspur and Ruth would receive the news. Gradually things became con- fused in my mind and I lost consciousness. W'hen I revived a soft tongue wras licking my face and there was a silence over the land. It was one of those brave sentinel dogs. I stroked its head and whispered to him for a few minutes. Then he picked up my hat and walked out of the hole. I was relieved somewhat for I felt that I should be saved if he ever reached our lines. A few minutes after the dog had gone an empty laugh rang out. I mechani- cally picked up my rifle. I discerned two forms in the darkness come nearer. “Who comes there? I called out. - No answer followed .‘Halt! I yelled. They refused to stop. I fired and one German fell. The other raised his hands. “Give me your gun; sit down here; and keep your mouth shut, I ordered, and he instantly obeyed. Then came the waiting period. Such a strain! It was not an easy task for me to get control of my shattered nerves. After ages of waiting, so it seemed to me, I heard a tramp, tramp, tramp, of soldier’s feet and I almost' sang for joy. Something told me it was my friends. “Who comes there? in a sprightly tone. “Full blooded Americans, was the answer. The dog had faithfully fulfilled his mission and as a result the soldiersi had come to aid me. I told them of the machine gun, its “accompainments and the last German I had killed. Part of the party stayed to guard my prisoner while the rest went on to make an examination of the machine gun. This latter group returned shortly and reported that I had ended the lives of ten Germans. Several of the sol- diers were left with the machine gun and the others conducted my prisoner and me away; the one to prison, and the other to a hospital miles removed from the screamy ing shells. I was very ill for some time, in fact, so ill that the doctors alm,ost despaired of saving my life. During the crisis the Commander-in-Chief of the American army General Pershing, came in person to decorate me with the “Distinguished Service Medal” of my own country, the “Croix de Guerre” of Prance, and the “Victoria Cross” of England. When the medals had been pinned on my pillow their power seemed to call me back to life, for from, that moment I got better. When I could get about again, a little French girl named Nanon Grandet came over every day to walk in the hospital garden with ine. I liked her for she was good company and listened with childish sympathy to my reminiscences of Miss Larkspur, Ruth and the S. A. T. C. One day, when we arrived at' the grilled door of! the garden wall she pushed it open and asked me in her charming manner if I wished to go out side. I nodded my head in approval and we went out. There was a tall hill before our eyes. The path which we took led up £his hill. When we reached the top Nanon was eager to go down into the valley and I finally consented to please her. I was thinking of the time when my hospital days would be over and V could go back to my men when Nanon shouted, “Oh, Lieutenant Bowden, look down there in the valley! Oh, isn’t it beautiful! Did you ever see such! It must be a, fairy castle! Let us go down! Come on, and taking me by the hand she pulled mer along. “But, Nanon, what are you talking about? That is merely a French chauJ teau. And really, you do not believe in fairies?” I asked, laughing. “Not believe in fairites? I believe in them as much as I do myself. A French chauteau? Pshaw. That is a fairy castle and perhaps a prince lives there.” “Well, I believe you are right; it is a realm of some kind but not' a fairy,- realm, I am sure,I I answered. I see a walk, we will follow it until we find a gate.” After following the walk for a few minutes, we were halted by a stern, “What are you doing here, meddlers?” “We were taking a walk and by chance happened into your vicinity,” ans- wered I. “We would be gla dto know who you are and what this place is.” “I,” he promptly replied, “am a servant of the most high King Noel Josephus Brutus Caesar Carornia—” “Oh, I just knew it! What did I tell you? How grand—a fairy king,” broke in Nanon jumping up and down with joy. “—King of Pieland,” he continued after Nanon’s outburst, “and who are you, may I ask?” “I am Lieutenant Bowden from the nearby hospital. But the king—of whatj did you say—” “What a fatal mistake! I shall be killed! You can save me. Don’t tell the king how I received you. We were getting ready to greet you and here I have treated you like a common person.” “But, man, explain yourself. What do you mean by ‘You were getting ready to greet me?’ How did you know I was coming? You will not be harmed, just un- ravel the mystery ’ “The old court fool, a reader of the future, informed us of your visit and we wanted to welcome a war hero graciously. You must be taken up to see the king. Does the little lady go with you?’’ “Yes,” I replied, “but tell me of this king. I am very sorry to confess that I have never heard of him before.” “He is just a great and good ruler,” wincing as if it hurt him to say it. A number of servants came and ushered us into a great room through a line of guards. 1 never saw such a magnificient room. There was gold under foot and pearl and jewels were over head. Indeed, it went far toward being a real Fairy land as Nanon had wished. At the end of th long room I saw a throne and a little, old, ugly, withered man sitting upon it. As I came into his view he rose and held out his hand in an open friendly manner. “We ar.e indeed honored by your presence, Lieutenant Bowden,” said he� and before I could answer he was presenting me to her majesty, the Queen, and to the beautiful Princess Corinna. Both acknowledged the presentation and made me wel- come in the same friendly manner of the king while I treated all three as graciously1 as my democratic training would permit. Little Nanon was recognized and then the King took a small box out of his pocket, opened it and picked up a beautiful gold medal and pinned it upon me by tha side of my other three medals. “I want you to wear the highest medal for bravery or distinguished service I can give,” he said. “I appreciate the honor, your Majesty,” I stammered. “Honor! Huh! that is nothing compared with my next gift. See my daugh- ter over there. I want to give her to you in marriage. Will you take her? T vrfill give you five minutes to decide.” I looked at the girl. She was blushing but holding her head up proudly. She reminded me of some one I had seen. It was Carolina Larkspur, the belle of my last dance in Durant when I had deserted Ruth. The Princess had hair like Miss Larkspur; really, she seemed to be Miss Larkspur, but of course I knew she was not since she was a royal princess. I liked the idea of marrying her because of her rank and beauty. “I am perfectly willing, Your Majesty, but has Princess Corinna been taken into consideration?” I asked. “She is satisfied and I want the ceremony performed at once. Here, Heza,” calling a servant, “show Lieutenant Bowden to his rooms. Princess Corinna, get ready at once for your nuptials. Queen Mae, don your gayest dress and see that Miss Nanon is suitably attired as a. wedding guest. The rest of you prepare the house,” ordered the King. The suite of rooms that had been allotted to me was equally as beautiful as the throne room. I found an attendant and an open trunk filled with all the ac- cessories of a soldier’s wardrobe waiting me. I arrayed myself in a new uniform, dis- missed my attendant, and sat down to dream of the life that was before me. Here I was in my youth a success in my first employment, that of soldier ing, and on the verge of marriage with a royal princess. Surely my lot had fallen in pleasant places. My day-dream was interrupted by a knock. “Come in,” I called. The door opened. An old humped woman with hair as white as snow came slowly into the room. She was the ugliest and most abominable creature I had ever seen. “Will you have a chair?” 1 asked holding one for her. “Thank you, my young man. Yes,” in answer to my look, T am an (Old ugly woman but I have always had a great happiness in being the god-mother of Princess Corinna. You’re getting a jewel whose lustre will become brighter each day. But beware of the trust the King of Pieland has placed in you in giving you his daughter. If for an instant you swerve remember T am her protector. Beware! Beware! Beware!” and she slowly vanished from the room. I was very glad to be rid of her for she had made the cold chills chase up and down my spine. I glanced at my watch. It was not long until the hour set for the ceremony but I had to remain where I was as I did not wish to intrude upon my host. There was a fluttering against the window. It was a beautiful little blue bird. The blue bird, I thought, has come to bring me happiness. It seemd to want in. I opened the window and the bird flew to my shoulder and pecked me on the ear with its bill. Much to my surprise it began to speak. “I am the Blue Bird of Happiness. I have come to save you from snares into which you are fast falling. You think you are making a rare match but you will find out that many things in this life are camouflaged. Do not marry Princess Corinna. Let me point you to the iioad of happiness. Back in the United States you, deserted a girl whom you termed a ‘peach-blossom’ for one you considered a ‘good sport.’ Princess Corinna and also the ‘Sport’ will bring you nothing but sorrow'. The ‘Peach-blossom’ is the only person who can lead you to contentment. Come with me;.leave this castle; and when the war is over go back to Ruth.” “No,” I answered, “I have no fear and besides I have given my promise.” At this the bird darted like an arrow out of the window. Presently I heard a heavy tramp; the door was thrown open; and there stood the king and a group of his guards. “Is the Lieutenant ready?” asked the King, bowing. “Yes,” I replied and followed him out. With the retainers leading the way we went into the throne room which had been transformed into a fairy garden by a profusion of flowers and ferns. A somber churchman stood in the middle of the room. Princess Corinna, Queen Mae, Nanon, and several other guests entered the room from another door. Our two parties met and Princess Corinna took my arm and the churchman in a very impres- sive manner said the nuptial wrords. When I raised my eyes they fell upon the Princess’ god-mother who was coming toward us. I unconsciously turned my eyes away from the hag to the beauti- ful girl by my side. I was charmed with her. She was even more beautiful in her bridal finery than when she had stood blushing as her father offered me her hand. The god-mother came up to congratulate us. “Best wishes, my daughter and son,” she chirped, “for a long and happy life. Good youth, behold the woman you have promised to love and protect as long as life shall last.” What could the old witch mean? Her voice had an ominous tone. I turned to the Princess and I saw the delicate bloom fading from her cheeks; her eyes were 1-1 losing their brightness; wrinkles were coming into her face; and streaks of gray were appearing in the golden hair. She was no longer young and beautiful. She was even snaggle-toothed. I put my hand to my forehead and the old god-mother’s voice rang out in a shrill laugh. “You are married, young man, to an old maid German princess,” she piped. “Will you live with Princess Corinna or not? Will you?” How this loathsome crea- ture glared at me. “My country will not permit me,” I answered coldly, involuntarily clutch- ing the hilt of my dress sword. “You must remember that I am an American sol- dier.” “Ah, why did you not think of that before? Will you go or stay?” “I will go, madam.” Little did I realize that T was coming under the spell of the wicked witch. “Come, Nanon,” said I to my protege, and the frightened child grabbed my hand. “Don’t be in such a hurry,” the god-mother intervened, putting out her hand and touching me. “Ha! ha! Now you are a fit mate for your old wife. Look in yonder mirror.” I saw a feeble old man with a long gray beard. He was stooped and lean- staff. “We have had enough of you,” broke in the King, “here guards, throw this dog out.” Nanoon screamed and I was picked up and hurled from the wnidow. “Why Keeney, wake up! What caused you to roll off the bed? A whole pie for supper doesn’t agree with you.” The voice came to me faintly and it was Jack’s. “Call me Lieutenant and salute or you’ll be sent to the guard house,” I answered sleepily. “I will when you get your commission but in the meantime if you don’t want on K. P. you’d better get ready for breakfast.” I grabbed Jack around the neck and kissed him. It was all a dream—except that I had managed for a whole pie for supper and that I had though of making a raid upon the left over pies in the kitchen, and that I had been flirting with Caro- lina Larkspur a little and slighting Ruth a litle. My heart was contrite. And Ruth and I met in the corridors of S. E. N. for many a day.

Her father is a hi IT biTly, which is to say that her home is in the mountains. She is, therefore a mountain belle, which is the femi- nine of hill billy. Hattie Ann was named in honor of her grand mother who was our sister until she married that hill billy and went to live in Arkansas where as long as the Moon shines there will be whiskey still. Now, our dear niece has decided that her daughter Hattie Ann, has got to be educated and have social advantages, if it takes a farm. So she is coming to Oklahoma to go to school where they have Nor- mals becaus her mother says those Normal faculties are bound to be smart, other- wise they might pull a bone or get on the wrong side in the primaries. When Hattie) Ann is perfectly Normal she has got to go to the University where she can learrV to 1 ell the time of day by the clock and to read the calender so as. to tell hte day of the; week and she has got to take Physics so as to know how to keep her self healthy and study Domestic Science so as to know what to put in a man’s gizzard. She must also be a member of the Glee Club, because Hattie Ann is a right smart pretty girl and can sing some and she must make a Sorority so as to help win the Scholarship cup and wear good clothes and she must be a D. A. R. because her three times great maternal grand father was killed in the Revolutionary war and must join the U. D. C. because her paternal grand father fought for Jeff Davis in the war with Stonewall Jackson, Robert Lee. With these advantages Hattie Ann ought to gain social equality in Oklahoma and maybe by the time she is gradu- ated Lrom that A minus institution, called O. U., she will have made up her mind to marry, as most sensible women do. and decide to take a post graduate course on the Great Majestic Range. US TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT AT OUR STORE A. L.
