Southeastern has fully realized her responsibilities in training the teachers of the future and has taken advantage of every chance to help them prepare for their life work. With the coming of Professor Conger as head of the Training School, that Department soon took on new life. Professor Conger has made the reorganization of Training Schools his special study and has made a name for himself along this line. If his plans for next year are put into operation, Southeastern will have one of the largest and best Training School departments in the Southwest. The Critic Teachers have also been interested and enthusiastic for the success of the teachers under them and their pupils. They have given freely of their spare time in promoting the best interests of their teachers and pupils. PRIMARY Mrs. R. E. Crump, the primary instructor, has put her heart into the work and the advancement of her pupils shows that her efforts have brought results. The student teachers under her have caught some of her enthusiasm for the work and love of the small children. THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES Miss McKinney has also proved an excellent critic teacher. She has the ability to get her student teachers interested in their work and give the benefit of good teaching. “THE ROSE DREAM” “The Rose Dream,” a beautiful little fairy fantasy, was produced by the Pri- mary and Third and Fourth Grades under the direction of Mrs. Dickerson, Miss Decker and Miss Searcy. This little operetta was thoroughly worked out by those in charge and was one of the best programs presented this year. The scene was laid in Fairyland where Elves, Roses and Fairies entertain the Queen and Little Rose, a child lost in Fairyland, with songs and dances. The proceeds were used for the purchase of draperies for the stage in the College auditorium. Page 78 NINETEEN HUNDRED rWENTY THREE HOLIS SO Pane 79 HUNDRED TWEN v the FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES The Fifth and Sixth Grades are usually classed as the difficult stages for the children to pass through in the grades, but Miss Leonard has the rare ability to overcome, this difficulty for her pupils. With them she is all that could be wished for in a teacher, a companion, and friend. The pupils in turn have caught her spirit and co-operate with her in making the lifth and sixth grade room one of the pleasantest places one could wish for. SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES Mrs. McAninch has had a very successful year witli the seventh and eighth grades. Much of this success is due to the manner in which she puts herself into her work, and her ability to instil into her pupils the desire to accomplish something. The Junior High folks are a mighty fine bunch. So jolly and happy and gay. And yet they study and work with a hunch. That surpasses all nonsense and play. They study all day in history and math. In grammar and spelling and all, They strive day by day up wisdom’s path. To prepare to answer life’s call. Then to add the activities all of them need, They have music and penmanship too, Manual training and science follows the lead And physical ed. comes in too. Our pride in this room is a pardonable pride, For the boys and girls are the best. As they pass to the high school on the crest of the tide The teachers and they will be blest.

All courses listed in the course of study will be offered. In most cases there will be several sections of each class. In this way students will be able to get the exact work that they need. There will be exceptionally strong courses in: School Administration, Educational Measurements, Intelligence Tests, High School Administration and Supervision, Primary Education, Rural School Supervision and Administration, Music and Drawing Supervision, Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Coaching and Playground Supervision. The Summer Term is a standard term of nine weeks beginning May 29th and closing July 28th. All courses offered are of standard grade and length and work completed during the summer quarter receives the same college credit as if done during any other term of the year. ge 88 1ETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE W __________________________________ v A SUMMER SCHOOL Instruction in the Summer Term will be given by all members of the regular faculty assisted by twenty-seven additional teachers. These additional teachers are among the most successful Superintendents and Principals in the State of Oklahoma. They will bring to the students in their class-room not only excellent instruction but inspiration and vision that comes only from successful experience under actual Oklahoma school conditions. In the last few years attendance upon the Summer Term has increased very rapidly in keeping with the larger facilities which have been offered. The attend- ance in 1921 was 1,442, a growth of approximately one hundred per cent in three years. A striking characteristic of these terms is the large number of mature stu- dents in attendance. Southeastern State Teachers College is a member of the North Central Associa- tion of Colleges and Universities, and the American Association of Teachers Colleges with Class “A” Standing.

This year the Young Women's Christian Association of Southeastern has progressed admirably under the able leadership of their president, Tillie Frances Young. The financial difficulties were overcome by the adoption of the budget sys- tem which was sponsored by the Financial Committee. The Y. W. C. A. booth was a great asset to the association in an advertising as well as a financial way. The association has entertained two welcome guests this year, Miss Rebecca Reed, one of the national secretaries from St. Louis, and Miss Ruth Muskrat, an Indian Y. W. C. A. worker and journalism student from Kansas University. The new cabinet will be elected in March and there is a bright outlook for next year. Page 94 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE L N HUNDRED TWENTY Page 95 HOLIS SO BEI.L-HOPS AND HOPETTES The Bell-Hops and Hopettes are the clubs that see to the distribution of “pep” around Southeastern. They live up to their ideals at all times and also see to it that the school as a whole keeps awake and full of life. They have given some very interesting stunts at the games. The Bell-Hops were organized last year among the boys and were so success- ful in tlieir attempts to keep the school full of pep that the girls organized a similar organization this year and called it the Hopettes. They were as successful with their organization as the boys.

By success we do not mean the decision of the judges, although some of them have been in our favor, but we give the word a broader meaning than that and include in it the development the debaters receive from their efforts. If we take this as the measurement of our success by the effort put forth then we can truly say that Southeastern had a truly wonderful year in debate. As a rule there is not enough credit given to our debaters in Southeastern, how- ever this year was better than ever before. The team and coach deserved all the credit given them and a great deal more. The Debaters have worked long and faithfully on their debates. Several of them were called in to take places made vacant by sickness and other causes. Air. Cannon also had to fill a vacancy at a late date but by hard work he was able to get into excellent shape. The teams were: Mr. Shannon and Mr. Donnel with Simmons, C. C. Dunlap and Vernon Snell with Denton, Rosa Robinson and Earnest Cannon with Talaquah, And Tillie Frances Young and Faye Kincaid with O. C. C. Hazel Tate and Rosa Robinson.

The Association has enjoyed a phenomenal growth during the past year. The Summer Session of 1922 saw nearly four hundred added to its membership. During, the regular session of 1922-1923 many others have joined its ranks, more than forty having become members in a period of two weeks. ACTIVITIES Home-Coming Day was observed on Thanksgiving. On this day many of the graduates and former students of Southeastern found they way back and were here to witness the defeat of the Ada Tigers by our noble Savages. After the game the Association entertained the two teams at a banquet. More than a hundred at- tended this banquet. This will be one of the feature events of next year’s activities. Many teachers have secured positions during the year through the efforts of the Teacher Placing Department of the Association. This service is free to all paid- up members. The present officers of the Association are: J. Lee Cunningham, President; Blanche Fontaine, Vice-President; and C. C. Dunlap, Secretary.

Stout, the supervisor of Music is on a leave of absence at Co- lumbia University, but Miss Stella Reynolds, assistant supervisor, has had great success with the organizations. The Men’s Glee Club has been very popular this year. They have made sev- eral trips this year covering a large part of Southeastern Oklahoma. They were warmly received everywhere which speaks well for their ability. The Chorus and Girls Glee Club have also had a very successful year. The Chorus, Orchestra and Glee Clubs gave a joint program during Music Week which was greatly enjoyed by all. They have also assisted in several other programs during the year. � f NINETEEN HUNDRED Page 105 TWENTY THREE HOLISSO Page 106 INETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE J Page 107 IN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE Hk Q r ; holisso Page 108 t NINETEEN __________ HUNDRED TWENTY THREE THE ORCHESTRA The Orchestra was organized early this year and under the efficient direction of Mr. Freeman soon developed into one of the best Orchestras produced in South- eastern for several years.

Some very fine work has been done this year in painting, poster painting, and commercial designing. The art de- partment has also been of great help in preparing the art work for the Holisso. We take pleasure in expressing our appreciation here for the kind help given by Mrs. Price and her students.

Special attention has also been given to the needs and conditions for art in the rural schools. Several attractive displays have been made of the work done by the training school pupils this year.

Help us grow so we can serve you better.” Page 121 % NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE Page 123 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE HOL1SSO ATHLETICS Perhaps the most significant tiling in Southeastern’s athletics this year is the high standard that has prevailed. The records of our teams in all forms of athletics have been set at a high mark that compares favorably with any other class ‘A’ col- lege in the United States. This is not boasting, for when a comparison is made of our records with those of other schools this statement is found to be true. Southeastern’s record in foot ball is perhaps the best in the Southwest. When training was started early in the fall it became evident that the College was to have a strong team. Just how strong it was to be no one could tell, but when we invaded Arkansas and defeated the strong Henderson Brown team it then became clear that we had a stronger team than we had given ourselves credit for, so we set up and began to take notice while our boys marched through a long schedule undefeated, and rightly claimed state championship. Basketball was as pleasing in its results for us as was our wonderful foot- ball season. When the call was made for men to start training there was an en- thusiastic response and Coach Hatley soon had more men out for training than he had courts for. Our early training was somewhat hampered by the lack of a good court but the business men of Durant came to our rescue, as they alwrays do, and soon they had a building erected for us down town that contained one of the largest basketball courts in the state. With this excellent court our boys could really develop team work and they showed their appreciation by walking over some of the strongest teams in Texas and Oklahoma. After they had overcome all op- position in this part of the country it became clear that they must go to the Na- tional Tournament. Again the business men came to our aid and sent our boys to Kansas City, where they defeated the strong K. C. Eagles, one of the strongest club teams in Kansas City, made sure of the Oklahoma Championship by defeating Weatherford, and continued on their way into the semi-finals for National Cham- pionship until they met the strong Two Harbors team, Professionals and Champions of the Northwest, and the team that held the K. C. A. C. to the closest score, but we were unable to overcome their three point lead and so had to wait until next year to bring home the National Championship Cup. Referee Leslie Edmonds said to Coach Hatley after the Two Harbors game, “You have the best College basket ball team in America.” Coach Bell is keeping up his old name of being a master at foot ball and track coaching by putting out a track team that has overcome every opponent it has been up against this year by a very large margin, and it looks as if his track team will repeat the action of his foot ball team and take off’ State Championship. NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE Page 124 Requa W. Bell Coach HOLISSO Southeastern is very fortunate in having “Indian Bell” of William Jewell fame as head of athletics. After producing very successful teams last year in football, bas- ketball and track, Mr. Bell came back this year to make good his promise to produce a greater team than ever. That he has lived up to his promise is shown by the wonderful records of his football and track teams. Brennan Witt Captain Quarter Witt came back this year greater than ever, which is saying a great deal. Much of the team’s success can be attributed to his leadership, for Witt is a field general and knows how to manage his team. His punting and passing was the spectacle of each game. He will be better next year. fPage 125 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE HOL1SSO Eubanks Full Weight 170 Height 5-11. Eubanks came to us for the first time this year, but we don’t see how we got along without him before. His broken- field running and ground gaining was the feature of every game. He at once became very popular here, not only be- cause of his wonderful football playing, but also because of his fine sportsmanship. We hope he will be back next year. Fontaine Half Gtt was our fast man in carrying the ball on fake plays. He has run away with the ball and crossed the line many times before the enemy could tell where the ball was. He will be back next year better than ever. Gladney Half If the season had gone on much longer and Gladney had kept on developing his special talent, which is smashing through an enemy’s line, he would have made an all-American man. We hope he starts out next year as he left off this. M. Currin Half “Feet” played some wonderful ball this year for he was faster than ever before. When he got started through a line he was hard to stop. In some of the games he was shifted to a line position. He showed up well as a guard. Page 126 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE 7ho HOL1SSO SSr w - Malone End Malone is one of the best ends South- eastern has ever produced and that's say- ing a lot. He was great on offensive work but his specialty was spilling the man with the ball when an attempt was made at his side of the line. We hope he comes back next year. Farmer Center Farmer was one of the best men on the team. He became noted as the fighting center of Southeastern. He was always accurate in his passing and without this our great backfield would have been ham- pered and unable to complete their pass- ing machine. In offensive and defensive work he was without a rival in the state. Boyf.tt Guard In this case Lulu was the elephant. Not only would he stop the enemy but he would cast him aside for great losses. If he weighs 15 lbs. more next year we will let him play both guards. Denniston Guard Denniston is another member of the Savage tribe who came into prominence by his ability to plajr a line position. Being rather tall and heavy he made an excellent block in our stone wall line. He will be back next year. Page 127 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE HOLISSO Beaty Guard If Bob had weighed 185 and had as much fight in proportion as he has in 155, it would have been unsafe to bring an opposing team on the field, as it was, he frequently tore them up. We hope he weighs that much by next fall. Diffie End Diffie’s hard luck started early. His shoulder was broken in the first game. If he had been able to play in all the games our scores would have been higher for he played foot ball all the time he was in. Williams Half Williams was a strong man in the strong Savage line. His best quality was backing up the line and stopping the man that did get through, which did not hap- pen very frequently. He will be back next year. Cleveland Tackle Cleveland was not in school when the season started but he was unable to with- stand the call of the Pridiron very long, so he came back and made his old place on the team. He was unable to play in all the games because of his late entrance, but he played good ball in those he was in. Page 128 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE HOLIS SO n Roberts End Robert’s guardian angel seems to have been on a strike this year for he was badly injured several times, however he gave a good account of himself when he was in. We hope he has better luck next year. V. CURRIN End Vergil played a good game all the year. He came at a time when there was a large supply of good material for ends, but he earned his place and made one of the best men on the team. He will be a regular man next year. Crook Tackle Crook was out every day helping pro- duce a good varsity by giving them a tough scrimmage. His lack of football experience kept him from making a reg- ular place on the first team, but with this year’s work he will be able to make it next vear. Otto Roberts End Otto was the baby of the team. By baby wre mean in physical size only for he had more fight in proportion to his size than any other man on the team. It was his lack of weight alone that kept him from making a regular place. Gibson End This year Gibson decided to mix a lit- tle football with his athletic activities so he went out and gave it a good trial. Gibson is a wonderful pole vaulter but he was a little too light for the heavy Savage line, however he always put up a good fight. Page 129 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE fflfflS mm Southeastern Foot Ball Squad FOOT BALL THE SEASON The foot ball season at Southeastern opened with a great deal of interest and enthusiasm. Old men, who had proved their worth on the gridiron, were coming back to fight for the Blue and Gold again. New men were also coming in and starting out with the old men. Soon there was strong competition for places on the team and from this material Coach Bell was able to select the best team that ever represented Southeastern. Added to this fine material and excellent coach there was more “pep” shown by the student body than ever before. It is due to this support, in a large measure, that the team was able to go through the season undefeated. After several weeks of strenuous training the Savages had their weapons sharpened enough for the first encounter so they took a great chance and invaded the territory of Henderson Brown, one of the strongest schools in Arkansas. Their self confidence was well founded, however, for they defeated Henderson Brown in a very thrilling game by the score of 12 to 0. After the Henderson Brown game the Savages went to Tishomingo where they defeated the Murray Aggies 83 to 0. Page 130 ) TWENTY THREE HOLIS SO -i Then came the Tulsa game. Tulsa had run over everything in the state and they finally got over us. However, we held them to a closer score than did any other of their opponents and even turned a defeat into a victory by holding them to their contract and making them forfeit the game for playing ineligible men. Score 1 to 0. We then took on the Oklahoma City College and after a very one sided game the visitors departed taking home with them the small end of the score, 102 to 0. The next game was one in which the Savages were very interested. It was with their old rivals, East Texas at Commerce. The Texians had great hopes of repeating their victory of last year but these hopes were soon blasted for the score was 32 to 6 in our favor, however, they were the only team that scored on us this year. The next two games were easily won by the Savages. First they tramped down to Dallas and defeated the Dallas University team by the score of 42 to 0. Then they came home and on the next week end defeated the Oklahoma Baptist Uni- versity, 63 to 0. The next game was with Burleston College at Greenville. This game was played in a hard rain and due to the bad condition of the field the Savages were unable to get their fast backfield in operation and were unable to score. But if the backfield was unable to show up at its best, the line was not hampered. It was their hard fighting that kept the heavy Burleston team from crossing our line and thus losing our record as an undefeated team. The last game of the season was played with our old rivals at Ada. More “pep” wias shown for this game than any other game in years and the team amply repaid us for our support by winning from the Enemy by the score of 41 to 0. Philips also claimed state championship but they were not willing to settle the matter by a game with us. They didn’t want to lose it.

At the beginning of the fall term President Bennett appointed Mr. Haggard as the man to handle all the finances of the athletic organizations. He carried the football team through the season without loss and then took charge of the basketball team and has carried it through without loss. We take our hats off to the man who can make athletics pay. THE SEASON The Basketball season at Southeastern started off with great spirit. When Coach Hatley issued the call for men there was a great response and he soon had more men than he could take care of. From this large number of players, how- ever, he was soon able to select an excellent team. The schedule was rather long and heavy but the team was able to go through it without a single defeat. Page 132 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE I— ' V; 7A HOL1SSO The Oklahoma teams that were met in the first part of the season were unable to solve our five man defense and thus were unable to get down within scoring distance of our goals, while Fannin, Witt and Leuty made baskets from all angles and distances. The Texas teams that we took on during the middle part of the season had no better success. Austin College and Dallas University alike were unable to break up our passing, or work through our defense. The team that came closest to our Savages in goal shooting and guarding was S. M. U., and we finally won over them by the score of 29 to 25. Then came the National Tournament and our boys set out to get the National Cup. Our first game was with the Kansas City Eagles, a strong athletic club that was running second to the K. C. A. C.’s in the Kansas City league. It was a hard game, but the Savages came out victorious with a score of 35 to 27. Weatherford was our next rival. They were the only team in Oklahoma that disputed our claim to state championship. This was perhaps the hardest contest of the Tournament. The score was tied several times and extra time had to be given but at last the Savages broke away from the Wetherford boys and ran up the score. Then the whistle blew and the game was ended 36 to 33. Two Harbors, Minn, came next. This team was champion of the professional teams of the Northwest. The Savages played excellent basketball and kept the Two Harbors’ team hard at work, but at last the Two Harbors’ team secured a three point lead that the Savages were unable to overcome and the game ended 21 to 24. Next year we are going back and win the Cup.

Hatley Southeastern has in Mr. Hatley the best basketball coach in Oklahoma. The fact that he took a number of players who had never been together before and in one year turned out a team that won the state championship, and went into the semi-finals at the National Tournament is evidence of his coaching ability. He has the habit of turning out championship teams. It was his coaching that caused Caney to win the championship of South- eastern Oklahoma for several years. He also coached the Lindale team that won the state championship of Texas by de- feating the great El Paso team, their first defeat in eight years. Next year Coach Hatley will take a team to Kansas City, that will win the National Championship. Captain Brennan Witt A true captain of basketball was Bren- nan Witt. He was always fair and never asked the advantage of any team. His telegram from Kansas City shows his true spirit, “We lost to Two Harbors, Minn., but we went down fighting.” Witt was a center in basketball that always got the tip and could hit the basket from the center of the court. He played great team work, always willing that his team mates might make the easy shots and score just so Southeastern won the game. Page 134 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE V A. B. Hatley Hatley was a guarding, team-working forward, making it his business to see that the other fellow had the ball where scoring was impossible. Hatley is fast on his feet and handles the ball well. He can hit the basket but prefers to play the court, using his head to win games rather than making a high score. Captain Elect Fannin Captain Elect Fannin received honor- able mention in the All America selection which is sufficient to show that he has no equal in the Southwest. Fannin is a wonder on the court, an excellent dribbler and an expert shot. He handles the ball with great ease. Teamwork is his great hobby. Leuty Leuty was a guard who deserved All America mention. He is one of the best running guards that was ever on a bas- ketball court both in handling the ball and dropping it into the basket. Leuty is always at his best and was never known to get excited. M. CURRIN Currin was a guard who wras always in the way of his opponents forward and never gave up fighting. In every write- up that the team got his work was praised. He is big and stout enough to guard the best forward. He was perfectly willing that the other boys should get the honor for scoring. Page 135 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE r.v? HOLISSO Tyree Tyree was one of the fastest men on the court in floor work and was fairly accurate in hitting the basket. He did not play in all the games but showed up well in those he was in. Kenneth Windes Windes was a forward who was al- ways found fighting and could hit the goal from all angles. In another year Windes will find few equals on the court. In several of the games this season he was a veritable whirlwind, scoring at the most difficult angles. Fontaine Fontaine did not play in every game but he was fighting every minute of the games in which he played. His floor work and basket shooting is good. Dillard Eubank Playing his first year on the court he made wonderful progress. He played in some of our hardest games and was not found lacking. He learned faster on the court and showed swifter advancement than any other man. Eubank is fast, handles himself well and passes the ball with extreme accuracy. V. CuRRiN Virgil Currin was forward-center. He played a good game and was accurate in his goal shooting. We predict a place for him on the team in another year for he has the ability and knows the game. This is his first year on a college team but he shows up well. Page 156 %j NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE HOLISSO' - TRACK When the first warm days of spring begin to send the warm breezes frolicing over the campus the boys with an athletic disposition took to the cinder path and under the ef- ficent coaching of Coach Bell the Savages soon had a strong Track Team in competition for State Championship. Perhaps the most significant thing in Southeastern’s track record this year is the general high standard that had prevailed in all events. In the 220, 440, and 880 Captain Harvey Cobb has no equal in the Southwest. South- eastern is always sure of three first places when Cobb runs. Fine in the weights has broken several records and his last toss of the 16 pound shot for 43 ft. compares favorably with any College record. Crawford in the high jump has also done good work for Southeastern. Durham on the mile and two mile has been a complete surprise to Coach Bell and the school. He came out for track the first of the year and began to show up well in the distances but the surprise came when he ran off with the mile and two mile races in the meet with Austin College. The first meet of the year was with Austin College at home. In this meet the Savages showed their ability as track men by running off with the meet. The final score was 67 to 51. The next meet was a return meet with Austin at Sherman. This meet was very closely contested throughout but Austin got a three point lead on us in the relay and won the meet 53 to 56. The next meet was a quadrangle meet at Shawnee between Southeastern, East Central, Oklahoma City College and Oklahoma Baptist University. The meet was held under very bad conditions. It wras raining hard and the track was covered with water. At last the meet was called off but not before South- eastern had run up 24 to 21 divided among the other three contestants. Southeastern has an excellent chance for State Championship in Track which will finish out an all victorious season.

Follow the walk duty. In fact all of you have been observed galavanting promiscuously across the athletic field augmenting your locomotion by relying for support on a boy’s arm. For this and divers reasons I give you these commands: 1. “Thou slialt not rely for support on the arm of any swain; Nay, though the wind be blowing a gale and thine eyes be full of flying hair and thy slipper be full of sand. Thou slialt scorn aid and trod on alone for in this way are good suffragettes developed.” 2. “Thou shalt not lean upon the arm of thy young man friend, nor on the arm of thy friend’s friend, for she might become jealous. 3. “In passing through the hall, or about town, thou and thy young man friend shall keep at a respectful distance apart, which should be wide enough for three persons to pass unhampered between you. 4. “In no case shall thou touch the hand of a man, nor allow him to touch thine, for that is rude. 5. “Thou shalt not sit close to any man. Ten feet apart is good, but ’tis bet- ter to be just close enough to hear each other without shouting. 6. “When thy friend of the opposite race call in the evening at the place where thou boardest, thou slialt ask all the family in to chaperone thee. 7. “Then shalt thou take thy chair to the opposite corner from thy lover, and not alter this position. 8. “Thou shalt then converse learnedly on the w’eather until the man of the house yawneth the first time. Then slialt thou dismiss thy friend in great haste. 9. “Thou shalt not follow him to the door; for who knows what dangers lurk in the darkness, nor give him thy hand, but thou shalt take thy stand in the center of the room and dismiss him in clear, ringing words. 10. “As soon as thy friend leaves thou shalt retire to thine attic where thou shouldst pore over thy books until three o’clock in the morning. Then shalt thou retire to rest. At four thirty thou shalt rise, wash thy face in cold water, slick back thy hair behind thine ears and resume thy study. 11. “And last of all I command that you hold a sisterly love each to the other, for I have heard spiteful sayings said. This should not be. “That will do. Pass out quietly, please.” Page 160 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THRE E i HOLISSO -| ONE REAL TRAGEDY Tandie McKinzie, the famous tenor, was singing “Little Mother O’ Mine.” The lights were bright, the Auditorium beautifully decorated and the people pleased. The atmosphere was one of suppressed gaiety, restrained exuberance. Ah, but who knows what bright lights, brave smiles and happy exteriors may conceal ? My attention was attracted by a man across the aisle whose nervous glance at liis watch belied the smile upon his face. Something seemed to be troubling him. was he to participate in a duel? Was some horrible calamity to befall him at the fatal hour? Did his incessant reference to liis time-piece mean that some crime, which he was powerless to prevent, was about to happen? I watched him closely, my hands clammy with cold sweat, my breath coming in terrible gasps. Time dragged on. My God! would the suspense never end? Would nothing happen to break the monotony of his fixed gaze on his watch. Slowly, slowly, slowly the hands of the watch moved. As they were nearing ten, that hour when so many murders are committed, that time when so many crimes are perpetrated, a pained expression came over his face. He watched more closely, more tensely every moment of the hand which tolled off the minutes—minutes which seemed eternities. The long hand now points to eleven, the short to ten. What would happen in five more minutes ? Gradually the hand moved until it reached twelve. It was ten o’clock! The fatal hour! With trembling hands, writh a pitiful expression he took a mysterious box from liis pocket. Suicide! Death! Tragedy! I clutched my companion’s hand which was as cold and lifeless as mine. We gazed in speechless horror too terrible to be expressed while---Mr. Houston took a pill! t Pape 161 NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY THREE HOL1SSO Southeastern Basket Ball Team at National Tournament THE SOUTHEASTERN Official Organ of Southeastern State Teachers College I DURANT, OKLAHOMA, MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1923 . NUMBER TWENTY-FOUR BASKET BALL TEAM AT NATIONAL TOURNAMENT Coach Hatley and Manager Haggard With Eight Elayers axe in Kan- sas City Ready for Play. The Southeastern State Teachers College basket ball team is in Kansas City this week representing Oklahoma in the National Tournament. We won the Oklahoma Inter-Collegiate Championship in basket bull and are out for honors at the National Meet. Coach Hatley said that his men were in the best of shape for the tournament and that he expected them to make a good showing for Southeastern. Manager Haggard ac- companied the team and will help Hatley keep them in fit shape for playing. The following players accompanied the coach and manager: Witt. Cap- tain, Fannin. Windes, Hatley, V. Currin, M. Currin, Eubanks and Leuty. Not a better bunch of boys ever went out to represent an insti- tution than these boys. They will put every ounce of energy they have into the game that Southeastern might, get the glory. The hoys and Coach Hatley are not working for selfish aims but are out to make a record for Southeastern. A large delegation of students were at the train to see this estimable bunch of basket ball players, coach and manager off and wish them well. It was a happy occasion and means much for the future of basket ball in the greatest teachers college in Oklahoma.

DURANT BUSINESS MEN SEND BASKET BALL TEAM TO NATIONAL TOURNAMENT The Durant business men, knowing of the great team developed at Southeastern by Coach Hatley, de- cided that the Southeastern basket ball team would make u good show- ing at the National Tournament in Kansas City. A representative of the Durant Rotary Club and a mem- ber of the Durant Lions Club raised the $000 necessary to send the team in about three hours time. It might be said that not a single business man turned them down on the prop- osition and many of them were like Rill iUtterback who said, “I con- sider it a pleasure to contribute tu such a cause, it does me good to send that team to Kansas City and I would have been mad if you had not given me a chance to contribute.’’ That was the spirit of all the men who contributed in raising t lie money. The Durant Business men believe in Southeastern and her basket ball team. • THE ROSE DREAM’’ By Fine Arts Dept. On Saturday evening March 17th, sixty children of the Fine Arts De- partment. under the direction of Mrs. Dickerson, Miss Decker and Miss Searcy, will present an operet- ta, “The Rose Dream.” This is a beautiful little fantasy and lias been so thoroughly worked out by those iu charge that it prom- ises to be the best program given this school year. The scene is laid in “Fairy Land’’ where Elyse Roses and fairies entertain the queen and little Rose, a child who is lost in Fairyland, with songs and dances. The public is cordially invited to see this production put on by these young children. The admission will be 15 and 25 cents. The proceeds will go towards purchasing draperies for the stage of the college audi- torium. Mrs. George Hatley accompanied her husband to Kansas City on Thurs- day with the basket ball team. FOURTH TERM BEGINS MONDAY. MARCH 19. 1923 Many New Students are Expected at Spring Term, Teachers Can Take Up Work Towards Graduation Tlie spring term of Southeastern State Teachers College will begin March 19th. The program will be arranged that students entering for the first time will be able to get work which will count towards grad- uation or on a teachers certificate. Teachers who have been teaching and whose schools have closed will lie able to enter and get work that they will want. The increasing of the members of the faculty will make it possible to offer much ad- ditional work to suit the students. Classification for the new term will begin on Thursday and con- tinue until all the students have classified. Students are expected to continue the work they have started which continues for the rest of the semester. Tlie enrollment will reach 1100 by tlie end of the first week of the new term which will make South- eastern the largest teachers college in Oklahoma. THIS IS CLEAN-UP WEEK Students of Southeastern, this Is to notify you that this week is dean up week. All trash such as hits of paper, fruits, chewing gum wrap- pers, candy wrappers, paper boxes and everything that you have been throwing upon tlie floor and on the campus must be thrown into waste baskets which shall be placed in various places for the purpose. To those who eat luncheon in the building, please put your waste paper in waste baskets which are placed conveniently in the auditorium and tlie basement.

Llehsawti (Staff Cuss Word) THINGS WE WERE PAID TO PRINT Ed Bennett is said to attribute his success on the track to the fact that he has on several occasions terminated his Sunday nite dates rather abruptly, caused from gazing briefly into the muzzle of a shot gun. We wish to right a great wrong. There is a general feeling that Dan Rey- nolds has entirely too many dates. However on several nights when he supposedly had dates he was seen riding alone on the pikes. At least that is the way it looked to us.

He lieth around the soda fountains and imbibeth the microbe of perverted taste, the book worm. He groweth in the knowledge of nothing save cigarettes and cusswords. When he attaineth the age of sixteen, he acquireth a pair of “sheik” breeches, two feet wider at the horn (bottom) than they are at the top. He displayeth a noisy pair of socks with purple background and violet to the front. He weareth low cut tan shoes and a green sash and looketh like a banana merchant in the streets of Cairo. The inside of his head looketh like the inside of a pumpkin. He falleth in love with a spindle shanked girl with pulled out eve-brows and bobbed off hair and longeth for an automobile that he may drive her forth in the springtime. His mind turneth to the vanities of life and not to the high cost of corn bread. He shooteth craps and giveth no thought to the multiplication table. He useth perfume and stacomb until he rivalleth a billy goat. Verily, verily, he needeth a board ap- plied to the southwest corner of his anatomy until he hollereth calf rope—Selah.

They talked of pants and passes Things which were rather tame Till Cupid put his nose guard on And butted into the game. Then he lined that couple up And made them toe the mark And soon he had them going with A scrimmage in the dark. As they sat there silent In their new found bliss The man thot the game Should end with a kiss. Thereupon he tried on An amateur affair But he lost it on a fumble And instead he bit the air. Then he tried another And the maid did shyly say You're penalized for holding Brennan Likewise for off side play. Then fiercely he tried another This time succeeding fine For he made a bully touchdown On that warm two yard line. As they sat there silent Communing soul to soul The parlor door swung open And father kicked for goal.
