It was formulated in accord with that growth and development m institution which seems to make it appropriate that the governing power ihool shall be vested in the student body and the Council has been appreci- by every faculty member and student of the institution. Upon the organization of the Council, each class in school was asked to se- one of their group as a representative member in the body and a presiding officer was chosen by the student-body at large. The Senior Class honored Edfred Shannon by appointing him as their representative; the Juniors honor- ed Honest vYallender; the Sophomores, A. W. Dagley, the Freshmen, Miss Priscilla W. Utterback; the Second Year Class, Miss Mary Elizabeth Crook; the First Year Class, Miss Faye Rolling; and after an interesting election it was decided that H. Grady Eaker was to fill the most honored position that may be held by a student in Southeastern and he was declared President of the Student wneil. The work of the Council was progressive and constructive in every respect. [A short while after the organization was instituted, a constitution with suitable [hy-laws was presented to the student body and accepted ; next the qualifications of athletes representing the Normal in matched games were considered and it decided that every player should carry at least three subjects and be in at- tendance in the school room at least fifty per cent of the time; following this, a basketball tournament with teams from the various High Schools in the South- eastern Disticrt participating was inangnrated; next, the Council had April 1 declared a legal holiday in Southeastern; and finally, the Council took care of the eight hundred visitors to the Annual Spring Track Meet. The Council is to be highly congratulated upon its measures. It worked without precedent but it worked wisely and a foundation has been laid for one of tin strongest and most influential organizations in Southeastern.

They have not been able to carry out the exact commands of the mysterious stranger but the organization is yet in its infancy and much is expected to be accomplished in the future.

The I) met twice each week at 7 :30 to 8 :30 A. M. during the fall and winter pirns, for the purpose of studying parliamentary rules and argumentation. At the beginning of the spring term the club took up the study of the question for tin Annual Inter-State Triangular debate. The members worked diligently and two members of the Forensic Club, Grady Eaker and Ross Quincy, were chosen to represent the school in the approaching debate with the normal at Denton, where a decision of three to nothing in favor of Southeastern was ren- dered. The Annual Try-out for the Interstate Triangular Debate was held Febru- ary 23, in which eight members of the Forensic Club took part; of these, Naomi Munson, A. W. Dagley, Honest YVallender and Ross Quincy were chosen to rep- resent the school in the state debates. The negative side of the question was de- fended in Durant by Ross Quincy and Honest Waliender and the decision of the judge was in favor of Southeastern. The affirmative side of the question was championed by Miss Naomi Munson and A. W. Dagley at Edmond where the decision of the judge was in favor of Edmond. ▼ X n Kimr 33 WlU'CN flwcto CREf fi' ljO TlN 3 reR Cmir CCRCLE FRANCES Vjttcrbrch, TaWvKHD HE HOH jP t PERSONNEL First Soprano.

SOUTHEASTERN CLUB One of the organizations of which the school has been especially proud is the Southeastern Glee Club. It has kept up the splendid rec- ord established by the members of the three previous years of its or- ganization and the Glee Club has won honors for the members individ- ually as well as for the organization and school. The Glee Club members were chosen from the chorus by the di- rector, Miss Julia E. Stout, at the beginning of the fall term and there were twelve voices instead of the eight as in the preceding years. They made their first appearance in the assembly and from the time of their first contribution until the close of the school they were a de- light and help to the various school and city organizations. Many in- vitatins were extended to them from over Southeastern Oklahoma.

During the past school session the chorus has been un- der the supervision of Miss Julia E. Stout and the organization has achieved particularly gratifying results. The chorus furnished delightful entertainment throughout the year. Early in November, the young women of the chours presented the cantata, “Pan on a Summer Day;” Thanksgiving night the full chorus sang for the Teachers’ Association of the Southeastern Dis- trict ; in February, the members of the chorus together with the stu- dents of the Class in Advanced English Composition, gave an original musical play, “That Reminds Me;” and in March the chorus sang at the Southwestern-Southeastern Triangular Debate. These engage- ments do not constitute an exhaustive list of the appearances of the chorus but they are representative of the many pleasurable moments which they afforded the school session.

How is life treating you, Jim?” “As usual.77 Hardly had the above greeting taken place between the two old acquaint- ances when a couple across the street from where the two were standing attract- ed Jim's attention and he exclaimed, “Do you know who that middle-aged man and that beautiful young lady are? See, they are leaving the car near the curb by the lamp-post.” “Oh, don’t you know them?” replied his comrade. “That man is Bruce Lester, one of the wealthiest and shrewdest business men in New York and the beautiful young lady is his bride. ” Then as if musing to himself he added, “And it is as interesting and romantic a tale as ever was told.” “Come into this cafe’, Melvin, and let’s have dinner while you tell me all about it,” responded Jim. “You know my fondness for a story. lJll pay for the ‘ beans. ’ Suit you ?5 ’ “Surely, come on.” Soon the two were seated at a table in a quiet cafe and as they commenced their leisurely meal, Melvin, with a dreamy, far-away expression in his eyes, began the story. “Bruce Lester has never known what it is to fail. Things for which others have sought and toiled have come to him as a natural gift. Unlike many rich young men, he went into business and made a success of it—business to Bruce Lester was family, religion, and everything. But he never seemed contented; his prosperity seemed rather aimless.. Upon one occasion when his doctor ad- vised him to take a vacation, he went to Europe for a few months but he could find neither glamor nor inspiration in the old country and he returned to Amer- ica as weary and listless as before. “Last year, however, a friend of Lester’s took him and a whole party of blase New Yorkers to the Mardi Gras festival in New Orleans in an endeavor to find something novel if the world could afford such a thing and Lester’s aim- lessness ceased. “The New York party sat in a grandstand and watched the procession which marked the opening of the Mardi Gras. A fat ox laden with myriads of tiny-flowers of many hues twined into wreathes and hanging ropTTs of color led T l« HOLIi3 P ---------------------------- the way followed closely by a beautiful child in a triumphal car. This, some- one explained, was the ‘King of the Butchers Then followed a long line of cars portraying the various nations and numerous other popular themes. A dense crowd surged close to the processional and gave vent to their feelings by loud applause and shouts of approval. But the party from New York found little that was pleasing and confessed to one another that they had not as yet felt the spirit of the Mardi Uras; and they parted with an agreement to meet again in the evening. “As the day waned the entire city was turned over to the rule of ‘King Rex’ who passed and repassed through the streets escorted by his bodyguard, the mystic ‘Krewe of Cornus Shadows began to appear here and there and the wayfarers all donned fancy costumes and masks and as it grew darker the crowd became so dense that no one could walk about without elbowing his way ( through the mob. Confetti, flowers, and ribbon were thrown about indiscrimi- nately in the air. Pistols exploded, shrill whistles blew, and the whole atmos- phere was full of the sound of a second Babel. “Lester stood aside wishing that he, too, might be a part of this seething and democratic mass and then, realizing that he could never feel the spirit of the occasion unless he entered into the game, Re bought a domino and hastily put it on and sauntered to a place where attractive tableaux representing noted matters of history, fiction, and poetry were being shown. A flower girl pass- ed him and he again entered into the game and bought a splendid white chrys- anthemum and pinned it upon his domino, llis gaze then returned to the pic- turesque tableaux. “Suddenly he turned; he had felt a light touch upon his arm. Standing near him was a tall, slender young woman dressed in a black costume with a single white chrysanthemum as an ornament. “She spoke with an accent unmistakably French. ‘It was very kind of Monsieur to wear the flower and keep his word. Follow me “Lester hesitated and then followed—perhaps there would be a real ad- venture, he decided. The girl led him through many noisy, crowded streets, around corners, and across grassy lawns and he walked behind her without a word. At last the spirit of the Mardi Gras had taken full possession of Bruce Lester. Finally they h lted. “Lester could see very little through the darkness but soon he was able to discern a large antique mansion without a single light. The girl produced a key from somewhere and opened the door. Lester stumbled over furniture and fell over carpets. The young woman, however, was very much at home ; nd found no difficulty in walking around objects. After what seemed to Lester to be an eternity of wandering about in a labyrinth of total darkness, the girl stopped in a small room and called softly, ‘Aunt, he has come The man heard a slow tottering footstep back of him. He turned as two caressing arms encircled his shoulders. “ ‘Jacques, my son, I feared you would never come back to me. 1 was afraid----- But the girl interrupted by spying that it would not do for him to stay longer. ................IP “Lester was pulled out into- the hall. Here he stopped and attempted to question her. ‘ Who is Jacques and what is your name?3 “Oh, Monsieur Alexandre, have you forgotten? It was so kind of you to meet me where you said you would. I hardly dared to expect it. Meet me again tomorrow at the same time and place. Now, not another word, it is not safe. Go.” And with this leave taking she slipped a bit of paper into Lester’s hand. “Needless to say, the party from New York could not find Bruce Lester when they were ready to leave next day. They expected to find him in New York at his business but they were mistaken. A week—two weeks—and even a month passed but no news of Bruce Lester found its way to New York and soon the newsp pers were filled with accounts of the disappearance of one of New York’s best known citizens. “And then just as the nine days’ wonder was subsiding Bruce Lester re- turned to his native city with a bride—a beautiful young woman with a marked French accent. That is all anybody knows about the affair—except Bruce Les- ter and he won’t disclose a syllable more. Romantic, eh?” “Well, rather. Wait here, old boy, until I settle the account and we’ll take a close look at the couple when they return.” “Sorry, Jim, but I’ll have to leave you here. 1 have a business engage- ment.”. “A tew minutes later Jim ran into Melvin, almost upsetting him. ‘Say, man, you’ve made a whale-sized mistake. They tell me that those people are an old lawyer and his private stenographer. Where did you get that story?’ “Did you like it? Well, it bought me a good meal. 1 didn’t have one cent :n my pocket.” A STUDENT’S LAST WORD (After Browning) Let’s contend no more, Books, Cram nor heap, Remain on the floor, Books, Let us sleep.

Davis, Right Tackle Max Schreiner, Captain Bill Moore, Left End Woodie Lee, Left End 1 HOU Jt f P. E. LAIRD Athletic Director and Coach. We feel that it is superfluous here to give an ex- tended “write-up” of Mr. Laird, because anyone who knows anything about athletics in the Southwest for the past nine years knows him as a prince of good- fellows, a peerless coach and an advocate and exemp- lifier of clean, sportsmanlike athletics. JNO. S. VAUGHAN Asst. Coach and Manager This is Mr. Vaughan’s first year with us, but we all feel that we have known him for years. Early in the season Mr. Vaughan made a reputation for him- self as a coach and the 1000 per cent record of his second string speaks eloquently ior him as an un- equalled coach and manager. THE HO LIX� p MAX SCHREINER Center—Ca ptain Age 20—Weight 156—Height 5-11 Max was elected captain by the members of the team at the beginning of the season and held down that important position during the season with credit to himself and to the school. He played center po- sition on the team and could always be depended on for a large opening in the opposing lines. REASOR CAIN Right End Age 20—Weight 160—Height 5-8 Cain started the season playing right end oppo- site Davis on left end and these two were known as “twins.’9 Cain showed up well at this position but was disabled prior to the Phillips game and was forc- ed to “lay off” for a while. However, he came back at the end of the season and showed up well in the back field. GRADY EAKER Right Guard Age 20—Weight 150—Heignt 5-11 Eaker came out for practice this fall for the first time and although the game was new to him made the position of right guard on the team where he played during the season. Eaker could be counted on to hold his sector of the front line and get his man in offensive work. HE- MOU ] ■ “HAWKERS DAVIS Right Tackle Age 20—Weight 170—Height 5-7 Davis started the season at left end and won for himself an enviable reputation in that position. How- ever, the fates and the coach willed otherwise and “Hawker” started down the line playing almost every line position before the season was over. Davis has the “sand” and with a little more practice will make an excellent line man. FRED EARLY Quarter Back Age 20—Weight 140—Height 5-6 While Early was the smallest man on the team this year he held down the position as quarter and the record of the season speaks for itself. Early’s duties as safety man kept him in the back line trenches but he was usually successful in throwing a sufficient “barrage” in front of an opposing back line man that he seldom finished his drive HUGH OWNBY Right Half Age 21—Weight 180—Height 5-8. “Hep” came out this year for the position of right half and the gold stripes on his sweater testify as to his success. Own by was good on offensive work and could be counted on for a gain through or around the opposing line and was especially success- ful in his defensive work. I «iioii acy HAROLD MOORE Full Back Age 20—Weight 185—Height 6-2 Harold, “The Big Black Indian” as he. was called at Denton always made a place for himself in the hearts of the “side-liners” and in the ranks of the opposing line by his level headed playing. As lull back he was always good for a hard center buck or a long run around the opposing line. ROBERT McCORCKLE Left Half Age 20—Weight 172—Height 5-9 “Bob” was easily the star of the back field and it is safe to say that he made more touchdowns than any other man on the team. McCorkle could al- ways advance the ball a few yards no matter how strong the opposing line and was known as one of the hardest tacklers on the team on defensive work. J. T. RYLE Left Guard Ryle was an all-round gooa man. He played the positions of left guard or tackle in almost every game of the season and never laid out of a game be� cause the opposing team looked big or because of an imaginary injury. Ryle was always on the job, a h..rd tackier and good on defense. HEADLEY ABBOTT Sub. HOU icf Abbott played several games during the season with the first team and showed that he has the qual- ities of a genuine football player. WOODIE LEE Left End Age 10—Weight 165—Height 5-11 Woodie Ben played during the season at every place on the line and at quarter during one game, therefore, he was known as the “all-round” man of the team. Lee showed up especially well at left end where he did some excellent work against heavy odds at Commerce. CLAUD MOORE Sub. “Little Moore’' made an excellent record on the second team this year and engaged in several battles with the first team squad. 2 HE HOLIXro p SIDNEY POWELL Sub m • Sidney showed by his work in the back field of the first team and during several games with the first line that he has the '‘makings” of a real foot- ball player. Watch him next year. FRANK FARMER Sub. Frank held down center position on the second string and then had time to engage in several skirm- ishes with the first team. Farmer will make an ex- cellent first team man next year BILL MOORE Left Tackle Age 23—Weight 175—Height 6. “Bill” played during the season at left end ana tackle at different times during the season. Moore seldom failed to get his man when playing at tackle and was fast in going down the field on a punt or kick-off. lie played a good, hard, all-round game of football. FOOT 191 The foot ball season of 1919 in Southeastern has been one of the most suc- cessful seasons in many years and it seemed that we were beating back to the days when Southeastern won the annual foot ball championship of Oklahoma. When Coach Laird stepped to the northeast corner of the gridiron and sounded “reville” some forty husky defenders of the athletic record of South- e. stern assembled about him. The coach then gave them a straight-from-the- hip talk to the men on the rules of the game, the honor of a foot ball man, con- cluding with some good advice as to physical exercise and precautions. He then suggested ‘‘two lapps around the gridiron, make ’em big,” the men “snapped into it” with vigor and enthusiasm, which, together with efficient coaching always spells success. After a short work-out two more lapps were taken and the first day’s practice was over. Quite a few former players came out the first day to contest for their old places on the team. Among these were, McCorkle, Schreiner, Early, Davis, Lee, Bill Moore and Ownbv. In addition to these several new men came out for their first.experience in foot ball, among whom were J. T. Ryle, Harold Moore and Grj dy E ker. Following the first day of practice a vigorous and systematic practice was begun in order to pul the men in shape for a hard schedule of games. The first game of the season was with the fast Austin College team which came down through Oklahoma and played us after a series of successful games with other Oklahoma Schools. While the score was in favor of the op- posing team, Southeastern rooters saw that we had the “making” of a good re m and that all that was needed was a little practice which came later. On Friday, after the Austin College game on Tuesday, the gigantic Phillips ▼ TUB IIOllHf University team came like roaring lions from several successful games with schools in Texas such as Texas University, T. C. U. and Baylor. They came with the avowed intention of running their score up into three decimal places or more. (Be it said here, however, that their departure was much less bam- bastic than their arrival.) Southeastern’s team was seriously crippled by the fact that almost one-third of the first team men were on “hospital duty” not having recovered from injuries received in the Austin College game. Despite this fact and the natural stage fright incident to opposing such a formidable team, the wearers of the Blue and Gold put up one of the hardest fights of the season. It is interesting to note that two-thirds of the points of the final score were made during the first quarter of the game, and that in the last quarter of the game Southeastern was able to hold the Phillips team down to a no-score basis. Phillips’ big back field men found Southeastern's line almost impene- trable as center rushes and line bucks were cut off in their infancy. It is fur- ther intresting to note that Phillips’ c sualty list was more than double that of South eastern. And then followed in succession a number of games with different schools. Some time after the Phillips game the team carried the Blue and Gold to Shaw- nee Baptist University and returned with a gratifying score. The Tishomingo “Aggies” then came down for a practice game with the first team which re- sulted in a 1. rge score for Southeastern. The team learned at Denton that it is a difficult matter to defeat eleven good foot ball men and a coach and referee included. rihe team journeyed to Commerce, Texas, where a no-score game was played with the strong Normal Team there. By the beginning of the month of November Coach Laird and Manager Vaughan instituted a campaign to recruit the somewhat depleted ranks of the team and to eject some much needed “pep” into the members of the team. Through their efforts a first squad was put into the field which looked like a w’nning team,—this, for the approaching Annual Thanksgiving game without friends from Ad . A large crowd assembled at the Normal gridiron on the afternoon of Nov- ember 27 despite the cold driving mist from the north, to witness the result of this event which has come to be an institution in Southeastern. The teams were apparently equally matched but a weight and height average showed Ada a few points in the lead. By the end of the first quarter it became known that the Ada team was not in Southeastern’s class as to head-work and team-work and by the end of the first half, Southeastern’s side-liners could hardly restrain themselves; and the conviction became firmly fixed in the minds of the Ada team and coach that they were beaten and badly beaten. A good first te m always requires as a prerequisite a good second team. This necessity was supp ied by Mr. Vaughan and his second team squad, and their 1000 per cent record for the season speaks eloquently for the work of the second team of South astern. The greatest difficulty of the season seemed to be the fact that at no time during the season was Southeastern able to put the same team in the field in fHE HOLIXA p two consecutive games. The necessary team work can never be secured, nor the best results expected under such conditions. However, viewed in retrospect, the results of the season were very pleasing despite a few defeats without which no season would be complete.

The old men to report for practice were Early, Cain, Ownby, Hewitt and Shannon and some of the new men were McFarland, Bates and McCorkle. With this line-up, the opening of the season was very bright for Southeast- ern, and Coach Laird secured an unusually full schedule of games. The first matched gt.me of the season was a practice game with the fast team from Canev, Oklahoma, and the game naturally resulted in a heavy score for South- eastern. ‘‘But the best laid plans of mice and men------ ” A second influenza epi- dmic attacked Durant, and among other things, the basket ball team of South- eastern was badly “shot to pieces” and the next few matched games proved disasterous for Southeastern. Owing to a shortage in the athletic funds and the epidemic with its conse- quent disorganization of the team, Coach Laird wisely cancelled the remaining games scheduled for the season. ■■■■ —— .

HALLOWE’EN PARTY The Senior Class of Southeastern Normal began their round of good times for the school year on Thursday evening, October 31, 1919, as guests of their sponsors and advisers at an unusually pie sing party settnig forth the Hallo- we’en se. son. The guests assembled in masquerade costume at “ye stroke of eight at ye sign of ye jack-o-lantern” which latter happened to be in the normal gmvna- sium. The proverbial broomstick was at the door and after each guest managed I THE- H to jump it he passed down the “deception line” in which stood Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Vaughan, and Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Laird, Miss Julia Stout, and Mrs. Floy Perkinson Gates. When all of the guests had been received, partners were found for a grand march. Clown and nun, gypsy and philosopher, shepherdess and cowboy, Hiw- iian and bandit, Turk and witch, and many other interesting characters paired off. Mysterious music from beneath the gymnasium grand-stand announced the march and the couples made their figures to the weird sounds of muffled drums and clanking chains. At the close of the grand march the guests gatherer around a beautiful oak tree where old-fashioned cider was served with gourds from rustic jars; and with the serving of the cider came the signal for unmasking. Cries of surprise came one after another as identities were revealed and no judge felt himself competent to say which disguise was the best. Following the unmasking a number of unique Hallowe’en amusements were introduced. rihe remains of a black cat which had formerly belonged to one of the hostesses were passed for inspection; luck was tried at a shooting gal- lery where apples were shot at with bow and arrow; hearts pinned upon a heartless ghost; a string and candy eating contest tok place; and quaint for- tune jingles with messages from the shades of departed celebrities were distrib- uted. Hallowe’en c p favors were bestowed and refreshments were served at a late hour. The decorations of the evening were unusually effective. Cats, owls, bats, 1'uterus, grinning pumpkins, scare crows, and a wealth of autumn loaves were used. The most attractive feature, however, was the sturdy oak tree fresh from the woods, under the branches of which the cider was served throughout the evening. Impish faces peered through the leaves of the tree and suspended in a prominent place from one of the branches was a genuine skeleton intact. It will be many a day before the Normal gymnasium is so effectively dressed for a party and it will be ingenious hosts and hostesses indeed, who devise a more delightful party. One of the most delightful parties of Hallowe’en was given at the home of Miss Helen Fontaine on the evening of October 31, with thirteen young girls of the S. E. N. apron club as hostesses. A color scheme of black and yellow was used in the decorations and witches, goblins, black cats and colored lights were combined so effectively that one might imagine himself transposed into the realm of dreams and visions. After the guests of the evening were assembled, most of the time was spent in journeying to fortune land. The guests traveled long and rugged ways and through mysterious passages to a far away gypsy tent hidden among ferns, mosses and vines and a wrinkled gypsy supplied strange and far fetched facts to the pilgrims. A d°rk cave in which an uncanny witch sat by a pot stirring a peculiar mixture of rabbits feet, bull-frogs and owls was also visited and fu- tures were read in the steam clord which arose from the mixture. Refreshments in keeping with the legends of the occasion were served and the happy guests departed carrying with them pleasant memories for the school year. olixi )r p ♦ HP HOLIXJO 'i? TUB IIOLI� P---- “THAT REMINDS ME5 The original play, ‘4That Reminds Me,” which was written by the stu- dents of the Advanced English Composition Class and presented by them to- gether with the Normal school Chorus on Feb. 17, 1920, was one of the most enjoyable events of the winter quarter. A large crowd was in attendance at the play and the Senior Class which was in charge of the business affairs of the evening is wearing a self satisfied smile because of the door receipts. Th play had a cleverly developed plot; the songs were excellent; the grand march figures were effective; the costuming was appropriate, and attractive; and the actors each showed evidence of careful training. Every character and incident in the play, from the appearance of Molly and Percy and the Presi- dent’s office to the final scene between the President and the Dean in the recep- t ion room of the girls’ dormitory furnished pleasure. The authors and participants who are responsible for the presentation of the refreshing comedy, together with the instructors in charge of the enter- tainment, deserve much praise. TEA FOR VISITORS Mrs. W. T. Ford, Miss Mella Bliss and Miss Nelle Hayes, of the Northeast- ern State Normal of Tahlequah, and Messrs. Ross Quincy and Honest Wallen- der, of Southeastern, were the guests of honor at a delightful tea the afternoon of April 23, given by the Forensic Club in the beautiful home of President and Mrs. Bennett on Sixth Avenue. Dainty wild plum sprays of unusual grace and bowls of lovely cut flowers were exquisite in the mellow glow of the candelabras. The flowers were all in white and a charming color scheme of green and white was carried out in all of the appointments of the evening in compliment to the guests from the Tahle- quah Normal whose school colors are green and white. Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Floy Perkinson Gates and Miss Eleanor Coulson received the callers of the Afternoon and Miss Bess Nolen poured the tea. The tea was served in English style with lemon and candied orange peel and accompanied by rolled sandwieKes jn.d.de.U‘?iwao ?rrappc. flien was assisted in the serv- ing by a number of young ladies from the Normal Domestic Science Depart- ment. A great calamity occurred, It will surely win great fame, The town was having a big race, And Third ran into Main. TSIS MAT PAGEANT The May Pageant presented by the students of the Southeastern State Nor- mal May 5 was one of unusual merit and a large crowd of spectators witnessed the entertainment. The beautiful green turf in front of the administraion building served as a stage and a royal throne and a semi-circle of fresh shrub- bery formed a perfect background for the pageant. The entertainment commenced withthe appearance of the lovely May Queen, Miss Eleanor Coulson, and her charming attendants and after she had taken her place upon her throne and been crowned by little Miss Jeannette Stone, her subjects honored her by depicting before her the fascinating story of Oklahoma. The salient events in the history of Oklahoma were set forth in a series of ten episodes and genuine interpretative appreciation of the situations was dis- played by the participants, in both costume and action. Episode 1 showed a group of Caddo Indians in search of a new camping ground; episode 2, depict- ed the picturesque departure of Coronado and his troopers from Mexico for the Oklahoma country; episode 3 showed Lord Clarendon authorizing the settlement of the Carolina territory which at that time embraced Oklahoma; episode 4 showed a French fur-trading post; episode 5 showed Jefferson and his cabinet in consultation after the Louisiana Purchase; episode 6 portrayed Fort Gibson as a military and social center at the time of Washington Irving’s visit to Ok- lahoma; episode 7 depicted the migration of the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Chero- kees and the Seminoles to the Indian Territory; episode 8 set forth the dis- tressing situation which developed in Oklahoma during the Civil War period; episode 9 depicted the memorable run of 1889; and episode 10 symbolic of State- hood, showed the marriage of Miss Indian Territory—the Red—to Mr. Oklaho- ma—the White—under the blue canopy of heaven, and as a grand finale the state flag of Oklahoma and the st ars and stripes were raised and they floated in splendor from the flag pole. It is interesting to know tha the excellent pageant was entirely original with Southeastern. It was suggested by President H. G. Bennett, and it was written by the class in advanced English composition under the supervision of Mrs. Floy Perkinson Gates. The music was selected and rendered by the Nor- mal orchestra under the leadership of Miss Julia Stout, and the whole was di- rected by Miss Emma Murry, head of the physical education department. SENIOR CIL Sg ENTERTAINED President and Mrs. H. G. Bennett of the Southeastern State Normal en- tertained the Senior Class of the institution together with thir advisors and sponsors with a delightful party at their residence on Sixth Street, on Wed- nesday evening, March 27. The party was apropos of St. Patrick’s Day and spring, and a skillful use of the shamrock and a wealth of delicately fragrant cut flowers gave an additional charm to the lovely Bennett home. Most of the evening was given over to various cleverly arranged contests. Miss Ella Townsend and Miss Stella Reynolds tied in a flower guessing “ex- amination;” Mr. Grady Eaker and Mr. Edwin Dickerson tied in an exciting rope-walking feat; Mr. Reasor Cain won first place in a closely contested sing- ing match; and prizes replete with the “Erin go Braugh” sentiment were awarded at the close of the series of contests. The favors of the veiling were unique and they were bestowed upon the guests amidst considerable merriment. The favors were nearly folded diplomas with artistic seiils of “the future,” and as Presdient Bennett presented the doc- uments he called out the field in which each student was most proficient and the pr i hesy of each seal was reve led. A delightful ice course carrying out the St. Patrick motif was served dur- ing the evening : nd the guests left at a late hour averring that President and Mrs. Bennett were indeed a most pleasing host and hostess. Mrs. Frank Hynds assisted Mrs. Bennett in receiving the guests of the evening. JUNlOl LARK Oh, those naughty, naughty Juniors! They went to the Bungalow_______I would never do that—would you ? The Juniors met at the house of Miss Lucy Leonard on the evening of Oct- ober 29 and went in a body to the Bungalow where they took possession of the first four rows of seats which had been reserved for their special use, and they were entertained for two hours. The show, however, did not satisfy the Junior’s love for the bizarre; they had to go to the Fish and Oyster Parlor and eat chili, and' then go to the home of Milton Cline, one of the class members, and dance to music rendered by the celebrated Cline orchestra before they were satisfied.

M. College and the first and second teams of S. E. N. with a party in the gymnasium. The rain and the cold prevented many from attending the party but the brave spirits who ventured forth had an enjoyable evening, playing games, eating sandwiches and ice cream, and drinking soda water in informal picnic style. Reasor bro’t Irma some flowers:— “Oh, they’re so very fresh,” she said, “There’s some dew upon them yet.” “Er-r, yes,” poor Reasor stammered, “B-but I’ll settle that soon, you bet.” THANKSGIVING JPARTY The Misses Georgia Stewart, Leila Mathews and Nathalie Powers gave a most enjoyable party in honor of the Ada and Durant foot ball teams on Thanksgiving night, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Powers on west Elm Street. There were about fifty guests present, dancing cards furnished the en- tertainment of the evening, and refreshments of punch and cake were served. Paul E. Laird and his bunch sought a train And like wild did they tear down Main But when they reached the point They were quite out of joint— All they saw was the rear of the train. R. C. A. PARTY The Seniors of 1920 were the guests of “Crawford’s Awful Gang” at 710 V. Pine St. on Oct. 21. The spacious music, drawing, and dining rooms were converted into one, and they were very artistically decorated with the Senior colors, pink and green. In the center of the large dining table a basket was placed with “quips” tied with pink and green ribbons. The evening was spent in playing informal games. After the announce- ment of the first contest the time flew quickly. There were many contests in which the winners were awarded appropriate prizes. That between Mrs. Gates and Mr. Bates created much merriment, Delicious refreshments were served carrying out the color scheme of pink and green. At a late hour the guests departed thinking that the time had de- parted too swiftly and a wish was voiced that the crowd might linger on even until dawn that the magic spell of pleasure might not be broken. H THE MO LIX- P EASTER PARTY On Thursday evening, April 1, the faculty members of the Southeastern State Normal were the guests of President and Mrs. Bennett at an enjoyable Easter party. Tables were prepared for seventeen couples and the evening was spent in playing a series of pleasant progressive games. Upon the final score count Mrs. J. S. Vaughan was awarded the ladies prize and Mr. J. S. Vaughan was awarded the gentleman's prize. The house was beautifully decorated wtih sprays of dog-wood and red-bud, fresh from the woods, and numerous Easter bunnies tied with tulle leashes. The favors were little egg shaped boxes containing spicy original Easter rhymes and they accompanied the dainty salad course which was served. COUNTRY Wednesday night, Nov. 16, the Juniors of the Southeastern State Normal gave a Country Frolic in the “Gym. Some of the guests came from the woods; some from the river bottoms and some from the city. The girls were dressed in everything imaginable, from the most delicately tinted $hk and blue evening frocks to coarse sagging skirts and the gaudiest of shirt waists. The boys wore everything from their great grandfather's dress suits to the most typical western cowboy togs. The frolic began with a grand march and the square dance and the Virgin- ia reel followed. Music was furnished by a negro fiddler and the refreshments consisted of cider and parched corn. There was a young man from Wassetta lie looked for Mary and he metta; He tried to hold her hand But Mary said. “My land! If you don't release me you’d betta. C. I. TUB HOLI JD M' 'W One of the most delightful musical numbers of the season was “Pan on a Summer Day, ” which was rendered, by the members of the Southeastern Nor- mal Chorus, under the able direction of Miss Stout, on Nevomber 20, at the Liberty Theatre. The members of the Chorus were dressed according to the theme of the Cantata. Sevral children who were trained for the part by Miss Murry enter- tained the large audience with dancing and acting. ■o- APRIL FOOL FROLIC The students of the Southeastern State Normal experienced the most en- joyable day of the school year on April Pool’s Day. As the student groups climbed the hill in the early morning toward the administration building they discovered a black and orange flag,.replete with mystery waving from the flag staff and questions were on every side; but no explanation came till a special assembly was called at the close of the first hour’s work. The Student Council was in charge of the assembly and the President, Mr. Grady Eaker, dispelled the mystery and evoked a storm of applause. He stated that the Council had decided to declare the first day of April a legal holiday in order to prevent the students from playing hookey, and he announced that the flag belonged to the Sigma Omricron Lamda and that the organization would have charge of the activities of the hour. The Sigma Omicron Lamda then extended an invitation to the faculty and student body to go with them to the famous falls on Schuckwa and the crowd responded en masse. Many merry games were enjoyed and a vast quan- tity of sandwiches and red lemonade which was awaiting the crown dis- appeared. Georgia Ste vart is a cruel lass,— Surely she’ll come to some bad end, She went down town the other day, And ran ACROSS A FRIEND. E. T. THE HOLI Of? THE FAULTY LUNCHEON The faculty members of the Southeastern State Normal were the guests of the Domestic Science Department at a delightful luncheon on Thursday, February 26. Covers were laid for twenty-five and the table was very attract- ive with its silver and snow-white linen and its center piece of white carna- tions. The following; menu was served: Fruit Cocktail Veal Bird Cream Sauce Parker House Rolls Combination Salad Apple Dumplings Duchess Potatoes Saltines Hard Sauce THE HOLIXWf Jeffie: “Do von know where Hugh is?” Irma: “No, what do you want with him?” Jeffie: “I don’t went him.

Irma Nolen: “Mrs. Gates, I wish you would answer that question.” Mrs. Gates: ‘‘Ancestors. ’ ’ Rilla (To gifted pianist) : “Play Liszt, please.” Barbara : “Oh, yes.” (Later) “Who wrote Liszt?” Miss Nolen: “How do you make toast?” Bonnie Mae: “You put in the oven and burn it and then take it to the sink and scrape it.” Mr. Vaughan: “If you put a young chicken on a glass floor for the first ten days of its life, it’ll never scratch.” Mr. Bates: “He would if he’d gone to France.” Cordelia Reeder (Discussing stage during fthakesfjere’s time) : “They us'd boys for w men characters because they were more effeminate. ” TUP HOLIJJP f------------ J.

Marion was so named because she was so ex- actly a second edition of her sister Mary, de- ceased, that you only tell the difference by the date line. There are those, however, who have been so unkind as to say that her father was disappointed and named her Marion so that people would think that she was a boy. Be that as it may, Marion was born and born a girl which she, herself, has often resented, right manfully. Place of birth just happens. Place of residence is of your own choosing. Marlon happened to be born in Arkansaw wh'ch in the minds of many is but to laugh. To escape the biight of such environment on her young life. Ma- rion, in company with her parents, emigrat 3d to the Indian Territory in the last year of the nineteenth century,coming to Durant which even at that early d y in its history was a “school town,” it being the home of the Calvin Institute, a Presbyterian Mis- sion. where they taught both the long and the short catechism and lead Indians to Christ. Marion began her public school cou rse in Durant under the instruction of these excellent teachers, Miss McC allister, Miss Moore,Miss Hockaday and Mrs. Platt e liainey and ended with those immortals U. w. Seely and I. S. Hinshaw. Then she be- gan a five year struggle to get along with Professor Morrison and his female facul- ty at the Ok’ahoma Presbyterian College for Girls, through prayers of bib Hotchkins and the influence of Miss Blake and Miss Oschmanshe won a B. L. which we suppose stands for “Book Learning,” be it little or much. With this diploma as a credential she entered the Southeastern State Normal, becoming a member of the famous class of 1917, whose young men volunteered to serve their country overseas and whose young women went out to help fill t he gre at world with thought. Taking a diploma from the Southeastern Nor- mal she started for Christian College, Columbia, Mo., what for. the Lord only knows, but she took another diploma from Luella Wilcox St. Clair- Moss armed with which she entered Oklahoma University from which we may reasonably ex- pect her to win another diploma in due time. Now, with sheep skins enough to start a peltry, what next. We would like to have her go to the Chicago Art Institute and learn to paint window signs for our Hardware Emporium, but perhaps, she will end her intellectual career like the most of womankind with a marriage license. Feminin- ity has a strange affinity for the masculine, but courage, brute strength and force of character are all that women admire in men. Who cares for brains?
