Southeastern Oklahoma State University - Savage Yearbook (Durant, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 166 of the 1948 volume:

Dedication... To a man who has proved his ability to make the beauty and wisdom of past ages live again for us—to one who calmly faces life and gives his very all to those who are fortunate enough to receive it—to an inspiring professor who coached his debate students into national recognition—to one who almost became a minister instead of a teacher—to our own T. A. Houston, do we sincerely dedicate The Savage of 1948. J7 3 CAMPUS ADMINISTRATION Mr. Richard Thomas Superintendent of Buildings Professor E. B. Robbins Landscape Supervisor LIBRARY ADMINISTRATION GYMNASIUM t. ’ttr A C � • % 4. A' Due to be completed and ready for occupancy by September 1, 1949, is this beautiful and roomy women’s dormitory and student union building for Southeastern’s campus, as pic- tured above by an architect. It will provide rooms for 28G women students and recreational facilities at a cost of $650,000. Funds will be provided by issuance of dormitory bonds to be retired from revenue in lental of the rooms and space. The project had been recommended by the board of regents at a meeting in Durant early in December, and final action and approval was the principal item of business at the board meeting on January 16, 1948. Members of the board of regents who with President T. T. Montgomery worked out plans for the building and provided means of raising funds for it are A. L. Graham, Broken Ar- row, chairman; John C. Fisher, Marlow, vice-chairman; W. T. Doyel, Oklahoma City, secretary; S. C. Boswell, Ada; Bert H. Brundage, Thomas; R. L. Clifton, Enid; Mrs. Maurine Fite, Muskogee; Dr. Oliver Hodge, Oklahoma City; Dr. James S. Petty, Guthrie; and Rector H. Swearengin, Durant. The motion for the proposal was made by Dr. Petty and was seconded by Mr. Fisher. The state board of regents gave their unanimous approval, and Governor Roy J. Turner gave his hearty approval.

OLIVER HODGE Page II The President’s Message This volume of the Savage records a summary of a year of college life in book form. In future years we believe it will bring back memories of golden hours spent at Southeastern. To all students of 1947-48 I extend hearty greetings and ac- knowledge my deep sense of appreciation for steadfast and loy- al cooperation. The steady growth of worthwhile activities and achievement on this campus is due primarily to the spirit of the students. It is my fervent wish that the rewards of the efforts you have expended in acquiring a college education will be abundant and satisfying. To the Savage staff I extend congratulations for a good job well done; I thank the business men of Durant who have purchased advertising space and, above all, the students them- selves for their generous support. Sincerely yours, T. T. Montgomery, President The Dean’s Message The college treasure that your friends will praise most highly when you leave the Southeastern campus will be the college yearbook. In it are recorded the activi- ties of the college during the year that you attended it, and in it are assembled the pictures of your friends and acquaintances. Last year for the first time in several years the student body produced a yearbook. This year the student body has again undertaken the publication of one. The staff of the “Savage” is to be congratulated for the fine work that it has done in connection with the yearbook. The producing of the yearbook is a student project, and without the untiring efforts of a small group of students, together with the cooperation of the entire student body, this yearbook wTouId not be possible. We hope that you not only use this book yourself but that you show it to others who are interested in Southeast- ern State College, so they, too, may understand better and appreciate the activities that are taking place on our campus. Very cordially yours, A. E. Shearer, Dean of the College Page 14 Dean Props 1 Straight forwardness, frankness, and friendliness are a marked characteristic of Mr. John L. Props, Dean of Men. He as- sumes the father-son attitude in guiding and counsel ng young men of the college. His favorite hobbies are hunting and fish- ing. Dean Leonard Thoughtful, considerate, and helpful to all the girls is the Dean of Women, Miss Sally Leonard, better known as “Miss Sally” to all the students of Southeastern. She is an inspiration not only to the girls but to the boys as well with her little quip, “I'll be making white magic for you.” Department Heads MR, ALLEN BERGER Head of the Department of Mathematics DR.

The newest club oil Southeastern’s campus is none other than the Agriculture Club, which was organized on November 21, 19 -:7. E. B. Robbins, professor of agriculture and land- scape supervisor, and William R. Weissinger, associate professor of agriculture, sponsor this club whose motto, “march on with agriculture,” wall no doubt grow to mean more to these men who fly the colors of gold and green, as the years go by. There is no monkey business in this club which limits membership to agriculture ma- jors or minors with five college hours in agriculture. A “C” average in grades is required. Alfred Byrd was elected the first president, aided by Vice-President Bert Lana, Secre- tary-Treasurer Harvey Clifton, Reporter Jesse Walker, and Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Alley. Agriculture Club Page 82 Art Club One of the most popular organizations on the campus is the Art Club. When art work of a really artistic nature is needed, students and faculty rush to the club to obtain its aid. Besides their work in helping other organizations with their banquets, formals, and other events, the Art Club students find time to hold art exhibits in which the products of their minds and hands are on display. Activities of the Art Club other than exhibits this year were trips to art museums, a Christmas party, and sponsorship of the annual Beaux Arts Ball inaugurated on the campus last spring. The motto of the Art Club typically is ‘Self-expression ’ its emblem is of course the brush and palette, and its colors are red, white, and silver. Donald Cox in the president's chair, and Jean Brown Clark and Dick Lawhorn hold- ing the official offices of vice-president and secretary-treasurer, and Marianne Azzarello, reporter, explain the Art Club's great popularity. Jessie Sims was first elected but resigned after nine weeks to teach. Miss Minnie Baker, associate professor of art, is sponsor of the group.

With its name pronounced “Boo-lay,” the order is rich in the lore of the ancient Greeks, with much of its historical background attributed to the founder and sponsor, T. A. Houston. ( j Just what happens at Boule meetings and during initiation no one seems to know, and members only smile in reply to outsiders’ questions, for Boule is the most secret of secret campus clubs. Among other things a prospective member must do is to declare an intention of graduating from Southeastern. This assures a positive patriotism of members to their alma ma- ter and helps Boule carry out its main interest, which is “for the betterment of Southeastern.” Helping to uphold the traditions that are a part of Southeastern, Boule played an active part in the Friendship Fire, and in the annual Homecoming Parade. Boule usually operates during the summer terms as well as in regular semesters. Boule Page 84 College Players For all the lads and lassies who yearn for a bit of stage experience, there is the College Players. This club is open to any student with an actively expressed interest in dramatics and other speech activities. The scope of experience covered by the College Players not only in- cludes acting, but the other jobs of play production, like lighting, costuming, and make-up as well. The Players contributed to the annual Friendship Fire, and operated a fortuneteller's booth at the Hallowe'en Carnival. They participated in the Homecoming Parade, and posed the picture scenes for the Christmas Candlelighting programs. • Organized in 1945, the College Players is a comparatively young organization. Their colors, black and white, are suggestive of the theater. Officers are Jay Curry, president; Lee Roy Hicks, vice-president; Betty Freeman, sec- retary treasurer. Miss Vivian Downs, associate professor of speech, sponsors the group. Left to right, front row: Theodore Nichols, Carroll Staton, J. C. Curry, Lou Barnett. Joe Wright, Donald Cox, William L.

Disc Jockeys Page 85 The social dance group known as the Disc Jockey club, with the motto “all for fun—fun for all,” have lived up to expectations in their first year as a club. The Disc Jockey Club, the original bram child of Miss Bertha Mae Treadaway, has gained much popularity as its first year has ended. The club is happy that they now have alumni. The club was organized in 1946. The students enrolled in the first social dancing class i become charter members. Membership is limited to students of good standing on the campus. Claude Massey heads the group, with John Bass and Betty Bob Stewart at his left and right. Music, rhythm, leadership; these ideals are pursued by the good-natured Disc Jockeys, and they have made their club a campus favorite.

Los Pan Americanos In 1927, the Spanish Club, was established at Southeastern and was installed chapter 41 of Los Pan Americanos, the national organization, in 1936. as The colors are typically Spanish, being green, white, and red. “Amistad entre las Na- ciones,” is the motto of Los Pan Americanos, and the symbol is the clasped hands, represent- ing friendship among men. Dr. E. M. Haggard, professor of foreign language, is the sponsor. The officers for 1947-48 are: president, Mrs. Dorothy Carter; vice-president, Valmeta Fry; secretary-treasurer, Shirley Kuhn; and reporter, Billie Jean Gibson. The delight of the group is Mexican food prepared under direction of Dora Delgado, herself from close to the border, and expert in this field. Lett to right, front row: Dr. E. M.

Established on the campus in 1928, the organization is now sponsored by Dr. Simon B. Spradlin and W. H. Underwood, social science professors. With the enrollment in social science courses at an all-time high, the membership rolls of the club are bulging with names of students who are interested in governmental procedure and sociological problems. Clad in the organization's red, white, and blue colors, the Government Club's Cagers carried away top honors in the Intramural basketball tournament last year. Officers of the club serve as a committee for social functions. They are: Billy D. Berry, president; Pat Hardy, vice-president; Lois Hobbs, secretary-treasurer; and Faye Castle- berry, reporter. Government Club Page 88 Hell Hounds With the birth of the Hellhounds on April 21, 1947, a new social pep club was born. With them came all the fight and spirit of Joe College. This couldn’t have been more clearly shown than by the pledges who suffered all sorts of humiliations ranging from a wholesale clean-up on cigarette butts, to that hilarious hockey game performed during the half at one of Southeastern’s football games. Though belittled at times, these boys who wear the black and orange were largely responsible for the spirit and pep obtained at Southeastern’s games. The Hellhounds’ activities for the year included their rush, float entree in the Home- coming parade, and a banquet for members. A. J. Palmer is president of the Hellhounds, J. C. Morgan is vice-president, and Theo- dore Nichols is secretary-treasurer. Hugh W. Lowe, veterans appraiser, sponsors the group. W. H. Underwood, associate professor of economics, is honorary member and co-sponsor. Left to right, front row: Floyd B. Mahany, Marcus Austin, Don Talley, A. J. Palmer, John Morgan, J. L.

But don’t think you are missing out socially if you don’t happen to qualify, for the Presidents’ Club life is full of problems. Actually the club serves as a medium wherby the common problems and common inter- ests of every club on the campus are viewed and logically solved. This is where plans requir- ing the cooperation of every campus organization are launched. One of the first big-size jobs for the year, the Homecoming Parade, is an example of this type of organized cooperation. The Presidents’ Club is sponsored by President T. T. Montgomery. Presidents Club Page 90 Lettermens Club The pride of Southeastern might well be the Lettermen’s Club, which is in itself a parade of champions. Among these Savage athletes are men who have lettered in football, baseball, track, basketball, and tennis. It is these men who from the backbone of the Savage pace-setting teams. The club has not always been known as the Lettermen’s Club. Keorganized last year at the beginning of the school term, the old “S'’ Club became the Lettermen’s Club. Along with reorganization came a new jacket design. An “0” standing for Oklahoma, with the three small letters, “SSC” embossed on it, replaced the large “S.” A sort of tradition is the annual camping trip in the spring, where lettermen and in- itiates take to the woods and enjoy the great out-of-doors. Also tradition is the laughter and pity which the initiates meet when they first exhibit their new hair-do. They can take it, though, these men who wear the blue and gold, just as they can dish it out. Head men for the club, which is claimed to be the oldest on the campus, are Odis Goodrich, president; James Taylor, vice-president; Gilbert Smallwood, secretary-treasurer. Coaches Bloomer Sullivan and Dave Stevens sponsor the club. Left to right, front row: John R. Birdsong, Nelson Turnbow, Dick Allen, Don Nolen, Robert L. Johnson, James L. Taylor, Bill Cwen Seeds.

Societas Latina is the official name of Southeastern Latin Club which was ably led by Donald Cox this year. Bennett Freeny, vice-president; Betty Heard, secretary; and Ruth Parker, reporter, supported Don's efforts enthusiastically and helped make 1947-48 one of the best years the club has experienced since its organization in 1919. “Carpe Diem , meaning in a literal translation “Take advantage of the day, is the club motto. Some of the activities in which the club participated were the homecoming parade and friendship fire. Societas Latina also had a Christmas banquet followed by a party on December 11, 1947. The Latin Club gives an award each year to a member of the organization who is out- standing in scholarship or service to the club. Donald Cox, the 1947 winner of the award, was chosen on the basis of both scholarship and service, according to Miss Isabel Work, sponsor of the club. Societas Latina Page 92 Tribes Council The Tribes Council, a local organization for Indian students and faculty, is compara- tively new on the Southeastern campus, but its energetic officers and members have made it one of the most outstanding clubs in the college. Tribes Council was organized in 1946. Its motto, Strength—Cooperation—Progress, is most symbolic of the club’s efforts. The float entered by Tribes Council in the homecoming parade in November won first place in the college division. Tribes Council also sponsored an all-school Hallowe’en Carnival and dance October 31, 1947, in the women’s gym. To be a member of this organization one must be at least one-eighth Indian and an en- rolled student, faculty member, alumnus, or former student of Southeastern. With Joe Taylor, president; Max Williams, vice-president; Doretha Roberts, secre- tary; Marilyn Wells, treasurer; and Miss Anne Semple and Mr. R. W. Fleak as sponsors, it is easy for one to see why the club has made such rapid progress. Left to right, front row: Joe Taylor, Robert Drew, Norris Dunson, M. L. Tinsley, Jack Dyer, R. W.

(jNot pictured are Alois Wilson, Frank Wade, Max Williams, Nieco Martin, Sarah Barnoski, Betty Heard, Eliza- beth Lynch, Mary Whitfield, Sue Hoskins, Frances St. Germaine, Miss Anne Semple.) Since 1946, when returning service men began to pour onto the campus in increasing numbers, a new campus organization called the Veterans’ Club has claimed the largest member- ship. This group of men banned together, elected officers of their own choosing, for once, and have been faithfully active in all school activitities. There are no restrictions on membership requirements, other than that men or women must have been in the armed services during either World War I or World War II. The club colors are red, white, and blue. For the Homecoming Parade, the Veterans’ Club entered a float with the theme, “Lest we forget,” which was beautifully carried out. The Veterans’ Club’s basketball team in the intramurals have been outstanding every year also. Picnicking, wiener roasts, dancing, of the informal variety of course, are favorites among the Veterans’ socials. Bill Redman has headed the campus’ largest club this year as president. Dexter Smith as vice-president and second in command, and right there handy the secretary treasurer, Marian Davis. Mr. Sam 0. Pool is the sponsor. Veterans Club Page 94 W. A. A The Women’s Athletic Association, better known to everyone as the W. A. A., is an- other organization which has enjoyed widespread recognition and inevitable success, even though it was only established at Southeastern in 1940. Affiliation with the national organiza- tion came in the same year. Flying the colors purple and gold, the W. A. A. has seemed to be a natural at South- eastern. That may be the reason why these girls find working together is such fun. The spring retreat and the annual manless dance have already become traditional, and ail the additional picnics, wiener roasts and all-girl parties find a place in the W. A. A. activity calendar. Also, each year an award is made to the most outstanding member. Mrs. Betty Moran Ward was tne winner of the 1946 honor. Officers for the 1947-48 season are: Miss Tess McMain, president; Miss Rosamond Russell, vice-president; Miss Willie Bess Evans, secretary-treasurer; Miss Betty Long, state treasurer; and Miss Bertha Mae Treadaway is the sponsor.

Established at Southeastern in 1933, the Southeastern A Cappella Choir has been an ever-faithful source of beautiful music. Annual customs of the choir include the impressive Candlelight music at Christmas time, a spring opera, numerous out-of-town appearances, and singing at the Baccalaureate and Commencement programs each year. This year in addition to these, the choir appeared at the Oklahoma Teacher's meeting in October, and in November they appeared before the State Board of Regents meeting, and also took an active part in the huge Noble Cain Festival. All students interested in choral music are eligible for membership in the Southeast- ern A Cappella Choir. Though the student enrolls in choir as a course with credits, the group is considered an organization, electing its own officers each semester. The officers who at present head the choir are: Joe L. Fryhover, president; J. L. Ragan, vice-president; and Mrs. Yo Beth Penny Whitworth, secretary-treasurer. Maroon and white are the organization colors, and the symbol is the lyre, which repre- sents “Music, the universal language.” A Cappella Choir Page 96 College Band The college band, directed by Jack N. Green, added color and harmony to many import- ant campus events this year, playing for football games, basketball games, band meets, con- cert, and parades. During the fall term, the band, clad in smart blue and gold uniforms, played and marched in the Homecoming parade, and produced music for the Friendship Fire and foot- ball games. The spring term saw the band take a trip to Ada, February 19, for the crucial basket- ball game between the Savages and East Central. No doubt, their music helped to inspire the Savages. . The band youngsters practiced industriously for three days of rehearsals during the band festival for high school students in February. Then they participated in the final concert which was presented to the general public. Another event which the band helped to a make success was the annual Senior Day on the campus, March 19. The band presented an outdoor concert on the lawn of the library building for the entertainment of the high school seniors. At the Inter-High track, curriculum meet, and art exhibit in April, band members as- sisted in instrumental contests as chairmen and as doorkeepers.

One of the fastest growing and talented organizations on the campus is the “Little Symphony.” Since its formation in 1946, the Symphony has developed and matured with great rapidity. With only a few months behind them, in 1947, the Symphony tackled the difficult task of perfectly playing the first movement of Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto, with Miss Eloise Maxey playing the solo instrument. This year the Symphony went on its own and mastered the Haydn “Surprise” Sym- phony in its entirety. Professor Miles Demand very ably leads the orchestra in its undertakings and is ever present as its sponsor. Professor William L. Edwards, head of the music department, appears with the Symphony as guest conductor on frequent occasions. Little Symphony Page 98 Mens Quartet I The Men’s Quartet was established at Southeastern in 1912. At present the members of the quartet are Ralph Whitworth, baritone; Gaylen Earnest, second tenor; Marcus Austin, first tenor; and J. L. Ragan, bass. The Quartet, sponsored by Mr. William L. Edwards, head of the music department, has made over one hundred personal appearances before civic and service clubs, and a number of out-of-town appearances. The Men's Quartet played host to a large number of college quartets at the annual col- legiate sing, which was held for the first time this year. Left to right, front row: William L. Edwards, Marcus Austin. Gaylen Earnest, Ralph Whitworth, J. L. Ragan. Violins: Miles Demand, Virginia Batchelor, Clarence Dyer, Sarah Floyd, Barbara Howard, James Morrison, Lucille Koontz. Viola: Cecil Turner. Cello: Lynn Moore. Piano: Joyce Grimes. String Bass: Jim Guy. (Not pictured is Kathleen Dorrah, violin.) The music department’s answer to the need for chamber music is the String Ensem- ble. The String Ensemble does not always supply a background, for in many instances they have taken the spotlight and presented a very entertaining program. The members of this organization have taken the meaning of the word ensemble to heart and have worked hard to produce their works with nothing short of artistry. Though small in numbers, as an ensemble is, the String Ensemble has proved itself capable of playing compositions requiring great tonal and technical skill. Professor Miles Demand also heads this organization and started forming it only a short time before he organized the Little Symphony. String Ensemble Page 100 Phi Sigma Epsilon Eta chapter of Phi Sigma Epsilon, national social fraternity, one of the most active organizations at Southeastern, had another eventful year in 1947-48. The Phi Sigs sponsored a banquet in the fall for potential members, an annual Christ- mas dance, and a spring formal. In November, the Phi Sig “Kilroys” clashed with Sigma Tau Gamma on the local gridiron, renewing that annual game, which has been tradition since “way back.” Established at Southeastern in 1931, Eta chapter has as its purpose the promotion of the bonds that exist in the profession of education and to promote the ideals of intellectual, social, and physical development. Fiat colors are old rose and silver, and the motto is “friendship and brotherhood.” Requirements for membership include the completion of the pledgeship activities with an average grade of “C” in 12 hours of studies. Dr. E. M. Haggard is the chapter sponsor. Left to right, front row: Johnny Dillard, Earl C. McNutt, William Sims, Gene Willcoxen, Bill Sallee, Paul H. Alley, W. O. Hawkins, John R.

Mu chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma, oldest men's social and professional fraternity on the campus, spent another year filled with honors and social events. The season was started with the rush banquet and smoker, and was soon followed by a big wiener roast party at Blue Dam. Then came the Friendship Fire, and later the news that three Sigma Tau boys had been selected for “Who's Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges, an honor for anyone to be boastful of. TiaJuana West blossomed out as the Rose of Sigma Tau in the Sigma Tau prize-winning Homecoming float in the annual Homecoming Parade. An alumni smoker after the parade was accompanied by informal talks by the alumni. In the closing days of November, the Sigma Tau “Smoes defeated the Phi Sig “Kilroys on the Paul Laird football gridiron to the tune of 13 to 6. A big Interfraternity Council Christmas dance ended the semester with low lights and soft music. Founded in 1929, Mu chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma has continued its work in promot- ing friendship and true brotherhood in an ideal way. Mr. 0. R. Bridges, sponsor, is also a proud wearer of the ‘blue and white.' Sigma Tau Gamma Page 102 Alpha Sigma Tau “All sisters together” is the idea symbolized by the anchor emblem of Rho chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau which has been an outstanding society since its establishment here in 1928. Rho chapter joined the national organization in July, 1932. The traditions and activities of the local chapter are numerous, among which are Na- tional Founder's Day, Chapter Founder's Day, Homecoming, In Memoriam, Daughter's Club, and Candlelighting Service. Boasting the motto of “Active, Self-reliant, Trustworthy,” Rho chapter has as its re- quirements for membership, the pledgeship, the initiation, and a grade average of “C.” The emerald and gold colors of Alpha Sigma Tau were woven into the formal pin pledging service, the formal initiation, the Christmas dance, and the spring formal during 1947-48. The national organization of Alpha Sigma Tau presents annually a scholarship cup and ring, and an efficiency award to deserving members. Officers for 1947-48 were Royce Choate, president; Yo Beth Penny Whitworth, vice- president; Loyce Choate, recording secretary; and Mary McIntosh, treasurer. Sponsors for the group are Miss Mildred Riling and Miss Ruth Hall. Left to light, front row: Mary Frances Jackson, Delilah C. Clifton, Mildred L. Whisman, Ruby Jayne Mason, Royce O.

Kappa chapter of the national social sorority, Pi Kappa Sigma, was established at Southeastern in 1920. Inactive for a time, the chapter was reactivated in 1929. To wear the turquoise and gold, colors of Pi Kappa, a girl must be invited into membership by the majority of the members in accordance with local and national rules of the constitution. Founder's Day on November 17, Homecoming tea, Spring dance, Christmas dance, Big and Little Sister Christmas parties, and participation in Homecoming parade are among the customs and annual activities of the organization. Awards are made each year for high schol- arship and efficiency. During the year 1947-48, there were many activities, among which were the initiation service, the ribbon service, the Homecoming tea, and participation in the Homecoming parade by members and pledges. The officers of Pi Kappa Sigma are: Paula Ridgway, president; Betty Long, vice-pres- ident; Ann Griffin, corresponding secretary; Lynn Gibson, recording secretary; Ellen Fort, treasurer; Rosamond Russell, corresponding editor; and Mary Alice Atkison, keeper of arch- ives. Miss Sally and Miss Lucy Leonard are the sponsors of the sorority. Pi Kappa Sigma Page 104 Inter Fraternity Council The Interfraternity, or Panhellenic, Council serves as the go-between, or governor, of the campus fraternities and sororities. Established at Southeastern in 1931, the council has served in that capacity every year since, except during those years when the Phi Sigs and Sigma Taus were in Uncle Sam's Frat. The gals solved the problems informally. But as this is the second year for the men to be back in campus society, the council is the main power. Membership is composed of two representatives from each social fraternity and sorority, each member serving his organization in its best interests. • The spotlight of the year was the football game between the Sigma Tau Smoes and the Phi Sig Kilroys. The sororities had no favorites, and everyone enjoyed the game. W. D. Thorne was president of the group, and Jack Goodman was vice-president. The secretary-treasurer job was handled by Mrs. Clara Frank Caldwell. The group manages the activities in a very orderly fashion and gains a well deserved recognition. Dean John Props and Mrs. Floy Perkinson Gates serve as sponsors and give the necessary backing.

There are Masonic groups to be found the world over, and Southeastern is no exception. Active on the campus since 1946, the order was founded at Southeastern when a number of young Masons desired to remain active in spite of being away from their home lodge. Many of these men served in foreign countries during World War II, have seen Masonic Lodges in opera- tion the world over, and recognize the importance of the order. The Acacia Club operates under the jurisdiction of the Durant Lodge Number 45, which is a regularly chartered lodge under the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Oklahoma, A. F. A. M. In addition to the student members now listed on the roll, there are thirteen faculty Masons serving as sponsors, advisers, and brothers in service. Officers for the Acacia are Wilson Edelen, president; Eldridge F. Coker, vice-presi- dent; J. J. Musser, secretary-treasurer; and James H. Anderson, reporter. Acacia Page 106 Alpha Psi Omega Although the Gamma Alpha cast of Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fra- ternity, was established at Southeastern in 1929, it has suffered several periods of inactivity, so that when it was reorganized last fall, there were only three members in school, which made reorganizing rough, since membership is usually small and select anyway. “Seek a Life Useful” is the fraternity’s motto; amber and moonlight blue are the fraternity colors. These two colors were selected because it is these two colors which are used for stage lighting more than any other colors. Being small in numbers didn’t seem to dampen the spirit of any of this group, and they were right there at the Friendship Fire big as life. Getting a truck delayed their start on their float, but once they got started, there was no stopping them. The balcony scene from “Romeo and Juliet” in the Homecoming Parade got an honorable mention for the group. And at the Hallowe’en Carnival, Alpha Psi Omega furnished a booth for the gala affair. Jay Curry was elected the cast director for the year, and Theodore Nichols the cast sub-director. The cast secretary is Carroll Staton. Miss Vivian Downs sponsors the cast.

Thorne, Lee Roy Hicks, and Donald Cox.) One of the most outstanding fraternities on the Southeastern campus is Blue Key. Comprising more or less the cream of the crop, this colorful organization boasts the fulfillment of its brand, a national leadership fraternity. Since 1932, when Blue Key was brought to this campus, it has continued to hold high its ideals, so that now it holds an honored and respected place among Southeastern organizations. The motto, “Serving I Live,5' holds today the same secret to success that it did years ago. Taking a look at the kind of men found in this group, we find leaders in all sorts of or- ganizations and campus activities. And these men are not only leaders, but they are scholars as well. There's no mistaking the blue key that serves as the symbol for the leadership and schol- arship of this group, for its symbol has become as well known as its famous name. The Friendship Fire, the Homecoming Parade, and their Southern California booth at the Beaux Arts Ball, all proved crowning successes. Blue Key, besides taking part in all school activities, is a co-sponsor in staging the annual Blue Key-Cardinal Key reunion banquet. Officers for the year include Belton Williams, president; Gaylen Earnest, vice-presi- dent; Bob LaGrone, corresponding secretary; John Clark, treasurer. Dr. A. E. Shearer sponsors the fraternity. Blue Key Page 108 I r Cardinal Key Established at Southeastern in 1936, and recognized by the national organization one year later, Cardinal Key, national leadership sorority, is designed for women who exemplify qualities of leadership in campus activities. To be eligible for membership, a girl must be a junior or a senior, have high scholastic qualifications, outstanding leadership ability, and participate in campus activities. At the beginning of the current year, there were so few members, that all the keys were officers. But being small in number did not prevent Cardinal Key from being tops when it came to getting something done. Entering a float in the Homecoming parade, and contributing the four Cardinal virtues, prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude, to the flames of the Friendship Fire, were performed with the “Key's” usual dignity. Collaborating with Blue Key, they served coffee and tea to the educators at the district OEA convention, and climaxed the eventful year with the annual Cardinal Key-Blue Key reunion banquet. Dean Sally Leonard serves as adviser, and Mrs. Floy Perkinson Gates, Miss Isabel Work, Miss Elizabeth McKinney, and Miss Effie Montgomery are sponsors.

The Beta Delta chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, national honor society in education, was established at Southeastern State College May 14, 1928, and affiliated with the national or- ganization at the same time. Each year the Beta Delta chapter gives a five-dollar award to Southeastern out- standing student. In 1947 the award was given to Miss Lou Ellen May, a senior English major. The emblem is a key composed of a scroll, stylus, and beehive with the stylus piercing the scroll and the beehive imposed on the scroll. The scroll also forms the background for the symbols of the Kappa Delta Pi motto: Knowledge, Duty, and Power. President of the Beta Delta chapter for this year was Dr. E. M. Haggard. Mrs. Evelyn Wood was vice-president, and Mrs. Betty Moran Ward was secretary. Miss Bertha Byrns and Mrs. Hazel Morrison Morgan held the offices of treasurer and reporter. The organization holds monthly program meetings and a formal initiation twice each year. To become a member of the Kappa Delta Pi, one must have a B-plus average and be at least a junior. There are certain requirements concerning the number of college hours in the field of education which vary according to the junior or senior rank of the student. Kappa Delta Pi Page 110 I Phi Alpha Theta “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” meaning “The voice of the people, the voice of God,” is the motto of Phi Alpha Theta, a national honorary history fraternity. The Rho chapter of this organization was established on the Southeastern campus in 1930, and became affiliated with the national organization in 1934. A scholarship paying two semesters' tuition to the outstanding history student in south- eastern Oklahoma will be given by the Rho chapter each year beginning this year. The winner is to be determined by the results of a competitive examination given in March of each year. The first examination will be given in March, 1948. ’ James D. Morrison, associate professor of history, is president of the local Phi Alpha Theta chapter, and Joe Montgomery is vice-president. Miss M. Ruth Hatchett is secretary- treasurer of the organization, and J. W. Logan is historian. Sponsor of the Rho chapter is T. A. Houston. Left to right, first row: President T. T.

Theta chapter of the national honorary forensic organization, Pi Kappa Delta, has had eighteen years of life at Southeastern. It has boomed and sagged in the number of members, as the years have passed, but it has never sagged in the powers of persuasion. In fact, it has been due to this organization, and to the capable and patient efforts of Professor T. A. Houston, that the reputation of Southeastern State College has spread not only across Oklahoma, but across the whole United States. Debate trophies line the trophy show cases here on the campus, won by members of Uncle Tom’s team. Debating isn’t easy; it is hard work and requires a lot of outside study. The gift of gab doesn’t mean much if you don’t know what you are talking about. These members do. They keep up to date on national and international affairs, so that when the time comes, another trophy will be placed in our show case won by a team of Pi Kappa Delta. Pi Kappa Delta Page 112 Gerald Sanders and Scotty Nobles, Southeastern senior men debaters in 1946-47, cap- tured the first intercollegiate debate championship of the United States and the Territory of Hawaii May 4, 1947, at the first national tournament at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York. In the tournament, 32 teams, picked by virtue of their accomplishments for the 1946- 47 year, waged oral warfare for the official national title. Southeastern received the first nomi- nation to the tourney from a district comprising Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Last summer the sterling silver Sigurd S. Larmon trophy, which goes annually to the college with the top debaters in the nation, arrived at Southeastern and was placed on display immediately on the college trophy case in the library.

The Sigma chapter of Pi Omega Pi, a national honorary business fraternity, was organ- ized on the Southeastern Campus in 1930. The chapter has been inactive since 1945, until it was reorganized this year. The Pi Omega Pi emblem is a shield at the top of which is a lamp of learning, and the fraternity colors are blue and silver. Gaylen Earnest was president of the Sigma chapter for 1947-48. In all his plans for the fraternity he received the full co-operation of Joseph Taylor, vice-president; Verla Faye Davis Byrd, secretary; Doretha Roberts, treasurer; and LeeRoy Hicks, historian. Pi Omega Pi membership requirements include at least fifteen semester hours of busi- ness education with superior standing. Miss Linnie Ruth Hall and Mrs. Mary Louise Glenn are Sigma chapter sponsors. Pi Omega Pi Page 114 Sigma Tau Delta The Tau Beta chapter of the national honorary English fraternity, Sigma Tau Delta, was established at Southeastern in 1920, and was known as “The Scribblers” until 1928, when it was affiliated with the national organization. The requirements for membership are: the applicant must be a good student; have an aptitude for writing; and possess desirable personal characteristics. There are many customs, traditions, and annual activities of Sigma Tau Delta. The reunion breakfast, the annual picnic, and the participation, in the Friendship Fire, the Home- coming Parade, and the Christmas Candlelighting program are among these traditions. Every summer, Sigma Tau Delt sponsors a regional writers' conference on the cam- pus, with one or two noted creative writers here to lecture and consult with students and others attending the conference. Sigma Tau Delta is headed by Alan Amend, president; Bessie Bullard Long, secretary- treasurer; Jack Carter, historian; and Ann Nichols Mason, director of press relations. The colors are red and black; the motto, Truth, Sincerity, and Design.

Publications SLAUGHTER LAWHORN THE SOUTHEASTERN FIRST SEMESTER PATTY GOSSETT Editor DICK LAWHORN Assistant Editor WILSON EDELEN Sports Editor G. W. REED Advertising SECOND SEMESTER DICK LAWHORN Acting Editor BEN CUMNOCK Sports Editor FERRELL JOHNSON Advertising DR. E. E. SLAUGHTER Faculty Adviser GOSSETT REED Students at Southeastern stroll up to “The Southeastern” distribution points twice each month, bend down, pick up copies of the college “scandal sheet,” glance over the front page, turn to the Campus column, and become firmly engrossed in the gossip. Hardly an issue passes without some heated criticism of an item which unintentionally steps on the toes of an individual or a group. But usually the paper receives only chuckles at some juicy tidbit which has been uncovered. The Southeastern was established in 1922 by Dr. E. M. Haggard, professor of modern languages, and Professor Paul Laird, chemistry professor, now deceased. It was printed on a sheet half the size of the present paper and was written for the most part by Dr. Haggard and Mr. Laird. Since its humble beginning, “The Southeastern” has grown by leaps and bounds until today it is considered one of the best college tabloids in the state. The paper is widely circulat- ed to alumni throughout Southeastern Oklahoma, and is sent to distant points in the nation. Journalism students work as reporters, and as editors on “The Southeastern.” The future journalists employ the same methods for gathering their campus news as the metropoli- tan newspaper reporters. Patty Gossett shouldered the burden of editor of the campus journal during the sum- mer session and the first semester. Other officers for the fall semester were Dick Lawhorn, assistant editor; G. W. Reed, advertising; and Wilson Edelen, sports editor. Dick Lawhorn assumed the top position the second semester due to the graduation of Miss Gossett. Ferrell Johnson took over the job of advertising, and Ben Cumnock, sports editor. The reporting staff included Shirley Lively, Robert Loper, Betty June Stewart, Billie Jean Gibson, Jesse Gaylon Beeson, Mary Creswell, Valmeta Fry, Robert Glafcke, Ann Griffin, Thyra Smith, and Rosamond Russell.

His long hours on the gridiron paid off in touchdowns and a clean slate in conference games, going through a tough conference schedule without a defeat. On all championship teams there must be players that are leaders. This year the Sav- age football team had more than a normal share of leaders to help win a second conference title. After due deliberation the coaches, sports writers, and players in the conference picked five Savages on the All-Conference dream team. Howard Guyer and Arthur Stewart were picked on the All-Collegiate team in the backfield, and Bill Caldwell, J. C. Dunn, ends; and Bert Lana, tackle. Williamson’s Little All-American team placed James Harris at the guard position. SOUTHEASTERN STATE COLLEGE 1947 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Sept. 20 .....................

The Savages opened their 1947 season with their arch rivals, the Austin College Kangaroos, at Sherman, Texas, in a slow game played in a sea of mud, and both teams wound up in a scoreless tie. Returning again to the Lone Star state, the Savages took one of the worst beatings that a modern-day Savage team ever took at the hands of a fighting band of Hardin College Indians who won 46-0. The Savages returned to open their 1947 schedule at home in an Oklahoma Collegiate conference game against the Northeastern Redmen from up Tahlequah way, and the Savages and Redmen put on a high scoring game, with the Savages winning 25-14. The next week-end the Savages were up north battling with the Central State Bronchos in the number one game of the week. The Bronchos opened with a bang, scoring a touchdown on the opening kick-off, but the Savages came fighting back and won the game 19-13. The East Texas Baptist Tigers came to Durant for a non-conference tilt. In this game Coach Stevens used all his squad as the Savages opened up and scored in every period, and chalked up three wins in a row; the score 26-0. By this time the Savages had begun to take on the shape of the championship club of 1946, and with their second journey north, before a large homecoming crowd at Northwestern State, the Savages and Rangers put on a thrilling battle for a huge crowd, with the Savages winning 19-13. Next on the schedule were the Murray Aggies, and this was, as usual one of the hardest fought games of the season, played in Tishomingo; the Aggies put up a passing attack with Bill Ayres and Sid Beams furnishing the spark for them. The Savages chose to stick to the ground attack with Howard Guyer and Arthur “Skinny” Stewart furnishing the ground gains, with an occasional pass to J. C. Dunn and Bill Caldwell. The whole forward wall of the Sav- ages worked to a great advantage that night, and the Savages won 18-0. Playing before one of the largest homecoming crowds ever to appear on the Southeast- ern Campus, the Savages did a double job of beating the Southwestern Tech Bulldogs 20-0— avenging the 1946 defeat by the Bulldogs and bringing the championship back to Southeastern for the second year’s running. The 1947 season was brought to a close with the annual grudge battle between the Savages and the East Central Tigers here at Paul Laird field in another mud battle that saw the Savages defeat the Tigers 13-0 before several hundred rain-soaked fans. Thus the Savages won the title without a defeat in the conference, a second title in two years of play. Page 121 Oct. 3, Paul Laird Field, Durant. The Savages opened their 1947 foot- ball schedule at home against D. M. “Doe” Wadley’s Northeastern Redmen from Tahlequah in their first Oklahoma Collegiate conference game of the season. In this game, that saw long runs and plenty of action, the Savages came out on top, 25-14. The highlight of this high scoring game was an 80-yard run by Arthur “Skinny” Stewart, 195-lb. freshman from Wilson. A few minutes later the Redmen sprung one of their fast backs, in the person of Bill Roberts, loose for a 68-yard touchdown jaunt. The fans went away from the game well pleased with the Savages, and hoping that the Savages could win the Oklahoma Collegiate Championship again as they did in the 1946 season.

Oct. 10, Edmond—Coach Dave Stevens took the Savages north to bat- tle the Central State Bronchos in the number one game of the Oklahoma Col- legiate conference. The Bronchos coached, by Dale Hamilton, really scared the Savages in the early moments of this game by virtue of a 90-yard kick-off return by Gene Dees of the Bronchos to put them out front in the opening moments of the game. But the Savages were not to be denied their chance to prove that they were the champions, as they came roaring back to wear down their heavier foes and win a thrill packed game that saw Howard Guyer spark the Savages to a 19-13 victory on his heady signal calling and his sparkling end runs against the Bronchos. Bill Caldwell, Savage Captain and pass-snagging end, helped the Savage cause greatly in this game to prove later that the Savages had the best wingmen in the conference.

Newby's Northwestern Rangers were next on the Savages list to taste defeat. In this game the Savages had to put out all they had to prove that they were again capable of being the champs of the confer- ence, in the wildest gam eof the 1947 season for both teams. In this game, played before a huge crowd of Northwestern State alumni, the Rangers played at least two touchdowns above their heads to hold the Savages to a 19-13 score. In win- ning, the Savages scored three touchdowns. Howard Guyer scored twice for the Savages; one of those touchdowns was a96-yard sprint with a Ranger kick-off that opened the second half of the game. Arthur “Skinny Stewart counted the third touchdown, and Tom McVay added the extra point. Savages 19, Rangers 13.

Nov. 14, Durant—Coach Frank Crider, brought his Tigers down for the annual grudge game of the year. Each year these two teams always play their hardest against each other, due to the rivalry of long standing. In this game played on a muddy field, the Savages scored twice on bril- liant runs by Howard Guyer, and Tom McVay added one extra point to make the final score read Savages 13, Tigers 0. Thus the Savages had won their second championship, and had gone undefeated in conference play during the 1947 football season. Savages 13, Tigers 0.

Basketball t COACH SULLIVAN Coach Bloomer Sullivan, director of athletics, was the driving influence behind the Savage basketball team. His alert thinking and directions helped to keep the Savages in the upper bracket of the conference standing. Sullivan has turned out five Oklahoma Collegiate championship teams and brought the 1948 edition into second place. The Savage attack was built around the five men listed below who are all members of the 1947 Championship squad. Powers and Womble did a good job of covering opposing hot- shot forwards from their guard positions. Seeds played the pivot slot with the best in the conference. Birdsong and Webb held down the forward positions. Webb, with his unstoppable jump shots, and Birdsong, with his wrist action sho£s, kept opposing guards on their toes.

Coach Bloomer Sullivan's Savages opened their defense of their five consecutive championships in basketball for the 1947-48 season with ten returning lettermen from the 1946- 47 team, and with four first-year men on the squad. With these men the Savages placed second in the Oklahoma Collegiate Conference race for the season. The Savages had the honor of winning the State A.A.U. championship in the tourna- ment at Bartlesville, and from there they went on to the National A.A.U. tournament in Den- ver, where they won two games and lost one against some of the finest basketball talent in the land. The team that eliminated them in the Denver tournament went on to the finals before de- feat. The Savage team had another honor to come to their squad, when Troy “Curley' Webb won the scoring title in the Collegiate Conference with a total of 248 points for 14 games, averaging 17.7 per game. Then Webb was picked at the forward position on the All-Collegi- ate dream team for his second straight year, then made the first five in the state A.A.U. meet, and also won the most valuable player award for the meet. The Savages opened with Phillips University here and took the Haymakers into camp to the tune of 44-26, and on the following night scalped the Northwestern Rangers 56-44. Next came the Oklahoma Baptist University Bison which the Savages defeated 48-39. Making their first swing north the Savages defeated Phillips University a second time, 41-31, at Enid. Next night the Savages romped on the Northwestern Rangers to the tune of 73-58, and during this game Troy Webb racked up 35 points during the evening to break a modern day scoring record for a Savage player. Webb broke Bok Laughlin's record of 32 points that had stood since 1928. Next came the O.B.U. Bison in their home lair, but the Sav- age team took the Bison for a second time 44-32. The crowd came early for the game against our arch rivals the East Central Tigers of Ada, and before game time there wasn't standing room. The Savages out-scored the Tigers from the field, but fell short at the free-throw line to go down in defeat for the first time against East Central at Durant in seven years, 48-44. The following night the Savage quintet bounced back to take the Northeastern Redmen 60-43. The next week end found the Savages playing their greatest game of the year against the Central Bronchos in Edmond, and winning 54-52. This game saw the Savages fighting the backboards on defense and offense. The following night the Savages found a fighting band of Southwestern Bulldogs primed and ready for another kill, and when the buzzer sounded the end of the game the Bulldogs had won 46-39. The Savages were open for one week getting ready for the invasion of the East Central Tiger territory. By 7:00 o'clock the East Central gymnasium was packed and jammed, with about an equal number of boosters for each team. Both teams played cautiously during the first half, and the scoring was also close. But in the second half the Tigers began to hit both from field and at the free throw line, with Grimes furnishing that much needed spark for the Tigers, and the Tigers won a second time over the Savages 46-39. The Savages moved on over to Tahlequah and took the Northeastern Redmen by the score of 47-23. Returning home for their final two games the Savages defeated the Central Broncho team 32-25 in a defensive game. And the last game of the season saw the Bulldogs and Savages battling it out in a rough game which the Savages won 52-49. Page 127 Jan. 30, Durant—Coach Bloomer Sullivan's Savages played host to the East Central Tigers before a packed house in the Southeastern gymnasium in the first meeting between the two teams of the 1948 basketball season. Coach Mickey McBride brought his hot Tiger quintet down to try to unseat the five- times champions of the Oklahoma Collegiate conference. The Tigers really had their eyes on the basket during the evening, mak- ing 19 free tosses out of 26 tried, and scoring 14 field goals; while the Savages were out-scoring the Tigers with 16 field goals, but fell short at the free-throw line, making only 12 out of 14 attempts. The East Central fans had the plea- sure of seeing their Tigers defeat the Savages on their own home court for the first time in seven years: East Central 48, Southeastern 44. Left to right: John Birdsong, James Bowers, Warren Lewis, Guy Luscomb, Tom MeVay, Kirby Minter. Feb. 19, Ada—Coach Bloomer Sullivan took his Savages north to Ada to try to upset the Tiger's march toward the first championship since 1933. Playing before one of the largest crowds in the history of the East Central gymnasium, the Tigers and Savages started out very closely and cautiously during the first half of the game, with the Tigers having a one-point lead at half time. The Tiger defense kept the Savage scoring ace, Troy Webb, covered during the first 20 minutes of the game, and Kirby Minter, freshman from Durant, was doing the scoring for the Savages; while the fine defensive work of Warren Womble kept Claudell Overton throttled, with only eleven points for the evening. During the second half Troy Webb found the range to make a total of 12 points for the evening, and also continue his leadership of the individual scoring. The hero of this game was a former Durant boy, in the person of Grimes, who made some very unusual shots to register 11 points. u Feb. 6, Edmond—Coach Gerald “Cowboy” Barnett’s Central Bronchos played the Savages all over the court and matched them shot for shot during one of the finest games ever played in the Central gymnasium. The Bronchos were really hot, even though the weather outside was very cold and bad. Featuring the Broncho attack was Bill Ballew, Bud Nichols, and Bill Smith. Ballew led the scoring, while Condron worked well on the post posi- tion, and smith did a bang-up job of covering court. On the Savage side of the ledger were the uncanny jump shots of Troy “Curley” Webb, the leading scorer for the Savages, with a total of 19 points for the evening. On the defensive side was Kirby Minter, who played a bang-up game by clearing the backboards when the Broncho team shot and pass- ing off to teammates to score. In the closing moments with only 30 seconds to go, James Bowers iced the game for the Savages on a fast break for the basket and a field goal, as the time was almost gone, to give the Savages a 54-52 win. Left to right: Paul Storey, Troy Webb, Raymond West, Warren Womble, Howard Wright. Tennis Left to right: Warren Womble, Don Nolen, Clarence Dyer, R. L. Johnston, David Bryant. The Southeastern tennis team this year had three men back from the Oklahoma Col- legiate conference championship squad of 1947—Warren Womble, Don Nolen, and R. L. John- son. These men helped Coach Clarence Dyer bring one of three conference athletic titles to the college during the 1946-47 school year. The other member of the 1948 team was David Bryant, who lettered in tennis at Austin College in Sherman, Texas, last year. This was Bryant's first year with the Savage netmen. During the spring season, the tennis team played members of the Oklahoma Collegiate conference, along with several other colleges, including the University of Oklahoma and Baylor University. The victories and losses were not ready for publication in the 1948 Savage. Track Front Row, left to right: Bill Atkison, Chester Fields, Leslie Milson, Jimmy Beyer, W. C. Hawkins. Second row: Ruel Johnson, Earl Minter, Nelson Turnbow, Lee Allen, John Greer. Third row: Fred Belcher, Ed Jones, Overton James, Bob Long, J. C. Dunn. Fourth row: Howard Wright, Travis Fuller, Coach Stevens, Billy Dan Parrish, Vernon Riberia. Coach Dave Stevens had several stars back from last year’s track team, which finished second in the 1947 Oklahoma Collegiate conference, to build this year’s squad around. The cindermen had added strength in sprints, weights, and distances. Carrying the blue and gold into the track meets this spring were Jimmy Beyer, Nelson Turnbow, W. 0. Hawkins, Chester Fields, and Leslie Milson, lettermen; and Merle Harrell, state high school sprint champion of Lawton; John Greer, distance man; Bill Atkison and Arthur Stewart, in the weights, newcomers. The 1948 Savage went to press before the wins and losses were counted. Baseball For the second consecutive year, Southeastern fielded a baseball team with Bloomer Sullivan, athletic director, again as coach. The baseballers played Oklahoma Collegiate con- ference teams, as well as other teams in southern Oklahoma and northern Texas. Coach Sullivan had among his 1948 players J. C. Dunn, Charles Clark, Jack Seabaugh, Arthur Stewart, Charles Hewitt, Overton James, W. D. Thorne, and Forrest Stewart. To assist these veterans were several men who tried out for the baseball team for the first time. The play was too late to chronicle in the 1948 Savage.
