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

Text from Pages 1 - 164 of the 1949 volume:

To a man whose dream l ies in his program of cultural expansion— to a man whose unceasing concern held Southeastern together during the terrible war years—to a man who envisioned and worked out an expand- ed curriculum and building program to meet the increasing needs of returned service men and women and high school graduates in the post- war world—to a man who upholds the spirit, the inspiration, the faith of all his students—to our beloved President T. T. Montgomery, do we sincerely dedicate THE SAVAGE of 1949. Page 2 Page 3 Campus and Administration Professor E. B.

T. Montgomery, when he was not performing his many duties as president of the college, dreamed of a large women's dormitory and a student union for Southeastern in the postwar era. In 1948 the state board of regents of Oklahoma Colleges decided to let him have a student union-women's dormitory after they had received the approval of Governor Roy J. Turner. The regents are A. L. Graham, Broken Arrow, chairman; John 0. Fisher, Marlow, vice-chairman; W. T. Doyel, Oklahoma City, executive secretary; S. C. Boswell, Ada; Bert H. Brundage, Thomas; P. L. Clifton, Enid; Mrs. Maurine Fite, Muskogee; Dr. Oliver Hodge, Oklahoma City; Dr. James S. Petty, Guthrie; and Rector H. Swearen- gin, Durant. Page 8 The impressive ground-breaking ceremonies were held Saturday, July 3, when the Durant Chamber of Commerce, the regents of the state colleges, state college administrators, and other citizens gathered to celebrate the occasion. Dr. Montgomery, Southeastern “building president,” declared at that time, “The light that falls on the Southeastern State College campus still comes from a rising sun that is far from its zenith.” The student union, when completed in Aug- ust, will have a student union office, alumni as- sociation office, ball room with dressing rooms and stage, book store, coffee shop, closets, of- fices for the deans of men and women, foyer, ladies’ lounge, post office, reception room, stor- age rooms, and vestibule. The dormitory, providing rooms and dining accommodations for 330 women students, will have, among other rooms, dining rooms, study- bedrooms, rest rooms, post office, living room, telephone booths, terraces, halls, vestibules, elab- orate food handling facilities, hair dressing rooms, cleaning and pressing rooms, and storage rooms. The home economics building, approved by the regents, is being constructed between the li- brary and the science hall, and is scheduled to be completed by November 1, 1949. The two-story brick structure, 58-86 feet in dimensions, will contain all modern equipment for teaching of home economics, including foods, clothing, and textile laboratories. Albert Ross, Ada, is the architect for both the student union-women’s dormitory and the home economics hall. ; New Home Economics Building Page 9 Governor Roy J.

The instruction in the class rooms is of good quality. In general the interest of the students in scholarship is genuine, and many are striving for high scholastic attainment. Organizations carrying on extracur- ricular activities have been a credit to themselves and to the col- lege. The morale of the faculty and students is high. Real pro- gress is being made. To the entire personnel of the college for the year 1948-49, I extend hearty greetings and acknowledge my deep sense of ap- preciation for your cooperation. Sincerely yours, T. T. Montgomery, President President T. T. Montgomery Page 13 The Dean’s Message The history of Southeastern State College as recorded in the 1949 yearbook will through the years be one of your most prized possessions. It will continually bring back happy memories of the days spent on the campus. Each time its pages are turned, you will visit again with your friends and you will relive the rich experiences of your college days. This record will be a treasure not only for you but for your parents. By glean- ing the pages of this book, they will understand more fully the program of the col- lege; too, they will arrive at a more thorough knowledge and a keener appreciation of the student body. Further, your enthusiasm for the book will prompt you to share it proudly with many of your acquaintances who, also, may gain an insight into the many and varied activities of the college. The staff of this yearbook, the student body, and the faculty are to be con- gratulated on this publication and on its successful completion. Its printing has meant hard work for a large number of people. High praise is especially due to the editor and his immediate staff. May this book become another among the many familiar avenues along which you continue pleasantly in your love and appreciation of your school. Cordially yours, A. E. Shearer, Dean of the College Page 14 Dean Props A complete frankness of manner characterizes the guiding and coun- seling efforts of John L. Props, dean of men. Campus men know that whatever their problem is, Dean Props will offer sound advice, and his assistance will be straightfor- ward. Serving at Southeastern since 1927, Dean Props has direct contact with most men on the campus, enabl- ing him better to understand their problems and attitudes. Page 15 Dean Leonard Friendship, understanding, and assistance are certainly not idle words with Miss Sally Leonard, act- ing dean of women. Miss Sally makes those words live, makes them a part of herself. Her counseling is dispensed from a heart that is in Southeastern — that has been here since she was a student on this cam- pus. After studying at Peabody Col- lege, she returned as an associate professor of education in 1922, and has transferred her cheerful class- room approach to educational prob- lems to many future teachers. In 1944, when illness forced Mrs. Hettie Mclntire to take a leave of absence, Miss Sally moved into the little of- fice of the dean—where “her girls” are always welcome. She is an in- spiration not only to the girls, but to the boys as well, with her litle quip, “I’ll be making white magic for you.” Department Heads MR.

Miss Bond was named the SAVAGE Queen after a month-long con- test between freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior students. The contest, sponsored by the Student Council, and the staff of THE SAVAGE, was design- ed to speed the sale of yearbooks and as a means of selecting a queen for the yearbook. Each yearbook sold by a class meant one vote for their class queen; and each class, striving to obtain as many votes as possible for their queen, ran a pretty close race. It was the freshman class which won the contest, mean- ing that blond-haired Miss Faye Bond would grace the yearbook as the 1949 SAVAGE Queen. iRiss (SLox iss TSedst Hhitsnn Her Attendants Attendants to the 1949 SAVAGE Queen are the class queens of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes. Although these queens are not the SAVAGE Queen, they are beauties selected by the different classes as the queen for their particular class. Miss Patsy Cox, a senior from Durant, is an at- tendant. Miss Cox is majoring in music, and is one of the most active students on the campus. She is a mem- ber and past president of several campus organiza- tions. Miss Verlee Watson, a business education major, is a junior from Waurika. Miss Watson is also active in all school activities as well as social organizations. Mrs. Eugene Gwinn, sophomore queen, is from Achille. Mrs. Gwinn has made business education her major, and has been active in all school activities.

The runners up in this elec- tion are the attendants for the im- pressive affair. This year, Miss Betty June Stewart, a junior from Durant, was elected to the coveted position. Miss Mary Cochran, a junior from Ant- lers, and Miss Mary June Curtis, a freshman from Yuba, were the at- tendants. This trio held an honored place in the beautiful Homecoming Parade which passed through the streets of Durant. JNibs JJflaru Cucljratt Page 77 During the halftime of the foot- ball game between the Savages and Northwestern State, Miss Stewart was crowned Football Queen by James Harris, in an impressive cere- mony.

Established at Southeastern in 1933, the Southeastern A Cappella Choir has been an ever- faithful source of beautiful music. Annual cus- toms of the choir include the impressive Candle- light music at Christmas time, a spring opera, numerous out-of-town appearances, and singing at the Baccalaureate and Commencement pro- grams each year. This year in addition to these, the choir appeared at the Oklahoma Teacher's meeting in October, and also took an active part in the huge Noble Cain Festival. For Senior Day the choir presented the musical comedy “The Gondoliers by Gilbert and Sullivan. All students interested in choral music are eligible for membership in the Southeastern A Cappella Choir. Though the student enrolls m choir as a course with credits, the group is con- sidered an organization, electing its own officers each semester. The officers who at present head the choir are: Bob Pratt, president; J. L. Ragan, vice-president; and Jean Morgan, secretary- treasurer. M aroon and white are the organization colors, and the symbol is the lyre, which repre- sents “Music, the universal language. Page 82 Agriculture The newest club on Southeastern campus is none other than the Agriculture Club, which was organized on November 21, 1947. E. B. Rob- bins, professor of agriculture and landscape sup- ervisor, and William R. Weissinger, associate professor of agriculture, sponsor this club whose motto, march on with agriculture,” will 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 majors or minors with five college hours in agriculture. A C” average in grades is required. Odis E. Quaid is president, Alton E. Taylor, vice-president; Woodrow Clements, secretary- treasurer; Choc” Hull, reporter; and M. L. Tinsley, sergeant-at-arms.

For all students having a sincere interest and appreciation in art, whether it be in the field of painting, modeling, sketching, or just ap- preciation, the Art Club was organized. The traditional brush and palette, with its colors of red, white and silver, is the emblem of the club, whose motto is “Self-expression.” Field trips for sketching, trips to art mu- seums, holiday parties, and sponsorship of the annual Beaux Arts Ball as well as other social activities, take up a good portion of the time of the Art Club members. The Art Club finds time to sponsor art ex- hibits of both the student's products, and well- known artist's creations. The officers for this year are Max Harrison, president; Ann Griffin, vice-president; Sarah Barnoski, secretary-treasurer; Vernie Stallings and Dick Lawhorn are reporters. Miss Minnie Baker, professor of art, is the capable sponsor for the group. Page 84 College Band The college band, directed by Jack N. Green, has added color and harmony to many import- ant campus events this year, playing for football games, basketball games, band meets, concert, and parades. The band members received a real thrill when they gave a full half-time marching exhibi- tion, smartly clad in blue and gold uniforms, at the Texoma Bowl Game, December 10, while be- ing filmed by Pathe News cameramen. It was the same snappy bunch who marched in the Home- coming parade, played at pep assemblies, and presented two thirty-minute radio broadcasts over KSEO, Durant, and an annual spring con- cert on April 28. Lawn concerts given by the college band on Senior day help that day to be a great success. The band also participates in the annual band festival, and furnishes music for Convocation. At the Inter-High track, for instrumental music in April, band members assist in instru- mental contests as chairmen and as doorkeepers.

For those students who are interested in stage experience, in all of its phases, there is the College Players Club. This organization is open to any student with an actively expressed inter- est in dramatics and other speech activities. The scope of experience covered by the College Play- ers not only includes acting, but the other jobs of play production, like lighting, costuming, scene designing, and make-up. One of the most important functions of the College Players is to co-operate with the entire speech department in arranging and depicting the tableaux for the annual Christmas Candle- lighting program. College Players was organized in 1945, and their colors, black and white, are suggestive of the theatre. Officers are Donald Cox, president; Joe Wright, vice-president; Jo Vancil, secretary- treasurer. Miss Vivian Downs, associate profes- sor of speech, sponsors the group. Page 86 Disc Jockeys i dents enrolled in the first social dancing class become charter members. Membership is limited to students of good standing on the campus. Liggie Lee Cooper heads the group, with Verdine Trout and Ina Faye McCown 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. Left to right, front row: Miss Bertha Mae Treadaway (sponsor), Ina Faye McCown, Val Maples, Liggie Cooper. Second row: Joyce Creamer, Jo Vancil, Betty Bob Massey, Mary Anne Bennett. Back row: Cl eta Irving, Marjorie Davis, Reba Harbert, Rosamond Russell, Jean Mills. The social dance group known as the Disc Jockey Club, with the motto “all for fun—fun for all,” have lived up to expectations after their second year as a club. The Disc Jockey Club, the original brain child of Miss Bertha Mae Treadaway, has gain- ed much popularity as its second year has ended. The club is happy that they now have alumni. The club was organized in 1946. The stu- Page 87 Government Club Left to right, Front row: Bruce Blake, Betty Stewart, Betty Power, Ruth Hobbs, Val Maples, Patty Vineyard, Howard Wright.

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 soci- ological problems. Clad in the organization's red, white, and blue colors, the Government Club’s Cagers prov- ed a powerful team on the maplewood floors of the gym. The Government club has always had a good basketball team, and is certainly a threat to any team who plays them. The Government Club is active in all school activities including the Homecoming parade, Friendship Fire, and all intramural sports. Page 88 Lettermen’s Club The pride of Southeastern might well be the Lettermen’s Club. Reorganized in 1946, the old champions. Among these Savages athletes are men who have lettered in football, baseball, track, basketball, and tennis. It is these men who form the backbone of the Savage pace-setting teams. The club has not always been known as the Lettermen’s Club. Reorganized in 1946, 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 initiates 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, through, 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: Orbrey Wil- liamson, president; James Taylor, vice-presi- dent; Earnest Kennedy, secretary-treasurer. Coaches Bloomer Sullivan and Dave Stevens sponsor the club. Left to right, Front row: James Harris, Lenniel Rambo, Ben Earnest, Howard Wright, John Birdsong, Arthur Stewart, W. D.

One of the fastest growing and most talent- ed organizations on the campus is the Little Symphony. Since its formatioji in 1946, the Symphony has developed and matured with great rapidity. Professor Miles Demand very ably leads the orchestra in its undertakings and is ever present as its sponsor. The Little Symphony has played before the Oklahoma Federated Womens Clubs, and also for the District Teachers meeting this year. The string players from this organization participat- ed in the Band Festival and String Clinic in February. Their Spring Concert included the “Symphony number 40 in G Minor” by Mozart, and the “Coronation Concerto” for piano and orchestra. Miss Ruth Ludlow was soloist for the concert. Professor William L. Edwards, head of the music department, appeared as guest con- ductor, as he does on frequent occasions. President of the Little Symphony is Lucille Koontz, vice-president is Clarence Dyer, and the secretary-treasurer is Virginia Batchelor. Los Pan Americanos In 1927, the Spanish Club, was established at Southeastern and was installed as chapter 41 of Los Pan Americanos, the national organiza- tion, in 1936. The colors are typically Spanish, being green, white, and red. “Amistad entre las Naci- ones.” is the motto of Los Pan Americanos, and the symbol is the clasped hands, representing friendship among men. Dr. E. M. Haggard, professor of foreign language, is the sponsor. The officers for 1948- 49 are Valmeta Fry, president; Betty Dawson, vice-president; Delilah Clifton, secretary-trea- surer; and Sarah Green, reporter. The club is very active in all school activities such as the Homecoming Parade and Friendship Fire, as well as carrying on the varied activi- ties, both social and educational, of their own organization.

Edwards, head of the music de- partment, and has made numerous personal ap- pearances before civic and service clubs in Du- rant, the entire district, and North Texas. The members of the quartet are admitted by try-outs in September. Their repertoire includes spirituals, original arrangements of barber shop ballads, and well known classics for male quartets. Members of the quartet this year are Troy Reed, first tenor; Marcus Austin, second tenor; John Morgan, baritone, and J. L. Ragan, bass. Page 92 President’s Club All you have to do to be a member of this club is to be a president of some organization on the campus. 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 where- by the common problems and common interests of every club on the campus are viewed and logically solved. This is where plans requiring 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 the type of organized cooperation. The Beaux- arts Ball, Cardinal Key’s Arbor Day plan, and the Friendship Fire are also types of work which the Presidents’ Club tackle. The Presidents’ Club is sponsored by Presi- dent T. T. Montgomery. Inter-Fraternity Council The inter-Fraternity, 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 Fraternity, when the gals solved the problems informally. But as this is the third year for the men to be back in campus society, the council is the main power. Membership is composed of two repre- sentatives from each social fraternity and soror- ity, each member serving his organization in its best interests. The group manages the activities in a very orderly fashion and gains a well de- served recognition. Officers for the first semester were Floyd B. Mahaney, president; Lee Evans, vice-presi- dent; and Willie Bess Evans, secretary. Dean John Props and Mrs. Floy Perkinson Gates serve as sponsors and give the necessary backing. Page 93 Societas Latina Left to right, Front row: Bennett Freeny, Frank Wieneke, Leonard Clark, Jerry Hutchinson, Leon Reed, Don Talley, Dolores Jones, Edmarine Ward, Joyce Parker, Miss Isabel Work, sponsor. Back row: Gordon Vaughn, Richard Miller, Robert Jennings, Vernie Stallings, Ruby Brock, Vestal Bennett, Monroe Wood, Sue Potts, Billy Bryant, Martha Price, Jo Oakley, Don Cox, Rosalie Bennett, John Parker, Raymon West. Societas Latina is the official name of Southeastern's Latin Club, which, this year, has been headed by Bennett Freeny. Frank Tidwell, vice-president; and Rosalie Bennett, secretary, have supported Bennett’s efforts enthusiastical- ly during this 1948-49 term. Organized in 1919, Societas Latina has taken an active interest in all college activities as well as carrying out constructive programs at all meetings. The club motto “Carpe Diem,” which means literally translated “Take adavntage of the day,” seems to explain the satisfying results obtained. The Societas Latina gives an award each year to a member of the organization who is out- standing in scholarship or service to the club. Donald Cox, who was the winner in 1947, again received the award in 1948 on basis of both schol- arship and service, according to Miss Isabel Work, sponsor of the club. Page 94 Southeastern Dance Group The Durant-Southeastern Dance Group was formed in 1947 for the purpose of presenting dance programs to the students of Southeastern State College as well as to Durant and sur- rounding communities. The group is under the direction of Newcomb Rice, dance instructor at Southeastern State College, and is composed of 45 students. In their repertoire the group have a total of six ballets, namely, “Daydreams”, Jukebox”, “Scenes of the Gay Nineties”, “Peter and the Wolf”, and the two classical ballets “Mozar- tiana” and “Ballet en Vert”. The two classical ballets were performed in conjunction with the College String Ensemble under the direction of Miles Demand. The group has presented several programs at Southeastern College and has performed in Gainsville, Texas, and Madill. Pianists for the group are Mrs. R. W. Harkey and Miss Margaret Ann Dodson.

The music department’s answer to the need for chamber music is the String Ensemble. The String Ensemble does not always supply a back- ground, 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 heads this orga- nization and started forming it only a short time before he organized the Little Symphony. Page 96 Tribes Council The Tribes Council, a local organization for Indian students and faculty, is comparatively new on the Southeastern campus, but its ener- getic 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 won honorable mention in the college division. Tribes Council also sponsor- ed an all-school Hallowe’en Carnival and dance October 30, 1948, in the recreation hall. 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 Max Williams, president; Nieco Mar- tin, vice-president; Jo Ellen Vancil, secretary; Austin Phillips, treasurer; and Miss Anne Sem- ple and Mr. R. W. Fleak as sponsors, it is easy for one to see why the club has made such rapid progress.

Back row: Joyce Creamer, Cleta Irving, Jean Mills, Marjorie Davis, Rosamund Russell, Betty Bob Massey. The Women’s Athletic Association, better known to everyone as the W. A. A., is another or- ganization which has enjoyed widespread recog- nition and inevitable success, even though it was only established at Southeastern in 1940. Affilia- tion with the national organization came in the same year. Flying the colors purple and gold, the W. A. A. has seemed to be a natural at Southeastern. That may be the reason why these girls find working together is such fun. The spring retreat and the annual manless dance have already be- come traditional, and all 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. Tess McMains was the winner of the 1947 honor. Officers for the 1948-49 season are: Ina Faye McCown, president; Betty Bob Massey, vice-president; Jo Vancil, secretary; Reba Har- bert, treasurer; Miss Bertha Mae Treadaway is the sponsor. Page 98 Alpha Sigma The activities of the Alpha Sigs have con- tributed in a large measure to the over-all pic- ture of school life in the Southeastern campus during the past year. With the spotlight on so- cial activities, the members nevertheless give at- tention to major roles of fostering high ideals for young college women. They captured an honorable mention with their eye appealing Homecoming float, “A Sur- rey with the Fring on Top ’ which was decorat- ed in emerald and gold. The Alpha Sig “Sweet- hearts” won the first of an annual series of In- tersorority basketball games, to the tune of 33-8. Christmas and spring were ushered in by sorori- ty fomal dances. Informal parties honored Hal- loween and St. Patrick’s Day. And amid the confusion of pledeship, which caused no end of hilarious ordeals, Alpha Sigma showed its colors by proudly presenting its queens. Mary June Curtis, Mary Ann Bennett, Evelyn Nobles, Pat Cox, Verlee Watson, Evonna Guinn, and Vivian Daney, all won honors in this field. Eloise Maxey was the leading lady for the year’s activities, and LaRue Rodden was vice- president. Sue Wood was recording secretary; Betty Ferguson, corresponding secretary; and Charlotte Harbart was treasurer. Miss Linnie Ruth Hall and Miss Mildred Riling sponsored the group.

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 humilia- tions ranging from a wholesale clean-up on cigarette butts, to dragging wieners on a string wThile dressed in a ridiculous manner. 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 in- cluded their rush, float entree in the Homecom- ing parade, a banquet for members, a dance, picnics, and a fishing party. Gordon Vaughan is president of the Hell- hounds, and Verdine Trout is secretary-treasur- er. Hugh W. Lowe, veterans appraiser, sponsors the group. W. H. Underwood, associate profes- sor of economics, is honorary member and co- sponsor. Page 100 Phi Sigma Epsilon Eta chapter of Phi Sigma Epsilon, national social fraternity, one of the most active organiza- tions at Southeastern, had another eventful year in 1948-49. The Phi Sigs sponsored a banquet in the fall for potential members, an annual Christmas dance, and a spring formal. In November, the Phi Sig “Kilroys” clashed with Sigma Tau “Smoes” on the local gridiron, continuing 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. Frat 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 adviser. Mr. A. T. Moore and Mr. W. R. Weissinger are sponsors.

Inactive for a time, the chapter was re- activated in 1929. To wear the turquoise and gold, colors of Pi Kappa, a girl must be invited into membership by the majority of tne mem- bers in accordance with local and national rules of the constitution. Founder’s Day on November 17, Homecom- ing tea, Spring dance, Christmas dance, Big and Little Sister Christmas parties, and participa- tion in Homecoming parade are among the cus- toms and annual activities of the organization. Awards are made each year for high scholar- ship and efficiency. During the year 1948-49, there were many activities, among which were the initiation ser- vice, the ribbon service, the Homecoming tea, participation in the Homecoming parade by members and pledges, an inter-sorority basket- ball game, and a sock-hop. The officers of Pi Kappa are Margaret Ann Dodson, president; Jody Blanton, vice-president; Lee Cates, corresponding secretary; Barbara Friend, recording secretary; Deane Buckman, treasurer; Jane Rice, keeper of archives; and Jacqueline Campbell, reporter. Miss Sally and Miss Lucy Leonard are the sponsors of the soror- ity. Page 102 Sigma Tau Gamma Mu chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma, oldest men’s social and professional fraternity on the campus, celebrated this year, its twentieth an- niversary on the Southeastern campus. Sigma Tau is social in plan of organization, stressing social friendship and true brotherhood. Activities are planned to provide social experi- ences essential to the balanced growth of the in- dividual. This objective social training is neces- sary for professional success, but is impossible to obtain in formal education. The fraternity is distinctly professional in its activities, in its point of view, and its relation to the field of education. Members are selected from men who are well rounded in their interests, activities. and personalities. The fraternity stresses high scholarship and the supplement to the three R’s of education of the three C’s—Character, Co- operation, and Consideration. The Sigma Tau calendar for the year was highlighted by its twentieth anniversary formal and annual Ranch Dance, as well as wiener roasts, fishing parties, banquets, and all school activities. Officers are Earl Allen, president; Elmer Butler, vice-president; James Akard and Claude MacDonald, recording and corresponding secre- taries; and Verdine Trout, teasurer. Mr. 0. R. Bridges is adviser, and John Krattiger, sponsor. Left to right, Front row: Ben Earnest, Ben Brown, James Howard, Floyd Mahanay, Jim Park, Howard Wright, James Thompson, John Dyer.

Since 1946, when returning service men be- gan to pour onto the campus in increasing num- bers, a new campus organization called the Vet- erans’ Club has claimed the largest membership. This group of men banded together, elected of- ficers of their own choosing, for once, and have been faithfully active in all school activities. There are no restrictions on membership re- quirements, 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. The club is active in all school events includ- ing Homecoming Parade, Friendship Fire, and intramural basketball games. The club has had an outstanding basketball team every year. Pic- nicking, wiener roasts, dancing, of tne informal variety of course, are favorites among the Vet- erans’ socials. Dexter Smith has headed the campus’ larg- est club this year as president; S. B. Lively as vice-president and second in command, assisted by the secretary-treasurer, Marian Davis. Mr. Sam 0. Pool is the sponsor. Alpha Psi Omega Gamma Alpha cast of Alpha Psi Omega, na- tional honorary dramatic fraternity, was estab- lished at Southeastern in 1929, and is celebrating its twentieth year on the Southeastern campus. The fraternity’s motto, “Seek a Life Use- ful,” has been a well met challenge to the mem- bers of Alpha Psi Omega. 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. Among the organizations’ traditions, is entry in the annual Homecoming Parade, Friendship Fire, the beautiful Candlelighting ceremony, and contributing their help with the annual Savage Forensic, as well as all other school activities. Officers for this year were Theodore Nichols, cast director; Joe Wright, cast sub-di- rector; and Marilyn Holt, cast secretary. Miss Vivian Downs, associate professor of speech, sponsors the cast.

Page 105 Phi Alpha Theta J “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 or- ganization in 1934. A scholarship paying two semesters’ tuition to the outstanding history student in southeast- ern Oklahoma is given by Rho chapter each year. The winner is determined by the results of a competitive examination given in March of each year. The winner last year was Richard Smith. 0. R. Bridges, veterans appraiser, is presi- dent of the local Phi Alpha Theta chapter. Miss M. Ruth Hatchett is secretary-treasurer of the organization. Sponsor of the Rho Chapter is T. A. Houston. Pi Kappa Delta Theta chapter of the national honorary for- ensic organization, Pi Kappa Delta, has had nineteen 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 is known and respected not only in Oklahoma, but across the whole United States. Debate trophies line the trophy show case here on the campus, won by members of Uncle Tom’s team. It was two members of Uncle Tom’s that won the first intercollegiate debate championship of the Unit- ed States and the Territory of Hawaii, at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York, in 1947. Debating isn’t easy; it is hard work and re- quires a lot of outside study. It means keeping up to date on national and international affairs; it means the taxing of one’s mind to keep a clear head, think quickly when under fire by a team of the opposition—but these teams of ours can do it, and are gaining an invaluable experience to carry with them throughout life. Though they are not all members of Pi Kap- pa Delta, this year’s debaters were. Jack Carter, Collin Bowen, Frank Pounders, Richard Smith, Evelyn Nobles, Cecile Elkins, Jean Rogers, and Charles Wheeler. Page 106 Pi Omega Pi chapter for 1948-49. In all his plans for the fra- ternity he received the full co-operation of May Del Bass, vice-president; Marjorie Davis, secre- tary; Merlin Thorne, treasurer; and Marian Davis, historian. Pi Omega Pi membership requirements in- clude at least fifteen semester hours of business education and education with superior standing.

The Sigma chapter of Pi Omega Pi, a nation- al honorary business fraternity, was organized on the Southeastern campus in 1930. The chapter had been inactive since 1945, until it was re- organized last year. The Pi Omega Pi emblem is a shield at the top of which is a lamp of learning, and the fra- ternity colors are blue and silver. Wayne Ballew was president of the Sigma Page 107 Sigma Tau Delta Left to right, front row: Betty Bob Massey, Marilyn Holt, Patty Vineyard, Jacqueline Campbell, Delores Cryder. Second row: Dick Hobbs, Jimmy Hampton, Mrs. Floy P. Gates, Alan Amend, Sara Malahay, Joyce Creamer, Don Cox. The Tau Beta chapter of the national hon- orary 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 apti- tude for writing; and possess desirable personal characteristics. There are many customs, traditions, and an- nual activities of Sigma Tau Delta. The reunion breakfast, and annual picnic, and the participa- tion in the Friendship Fire, the Homecoming Pa- rade, and the Christmas Candlelighting program are among these traditions. Every summer, Sigma Tau Delta sponsors a regional writers’ conference on the campus, with one or two noted creative writers here to lecture and consult with students and others at- tending the conference. Sigma Tau Delta is headed by Patricia Vine- yard, president; Sarah Malahy, secretary-treas- urer; Donald Cox, historian; and Joyce Creamer, reporter. The colors are red and black; the motto, Truth, Sincerity, and Design. Page 108 Acacia 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 op- eration the world over, and recognize the import- ance of the order. The Acacia Club operates under the juris- diction of the Durant Lodge Number 45, which is a regularly chartered lodge under the jurisdic- tion of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ok- lahoma, A. F. A. M. In addition to the student members now listed on the roll, there are thirteen faculty Ma- sons serving as sponsors, advisers, and brothers in service. Officers for the Acacia are Perry Askew, president; Joe L. Lewis, vice-president; A. M. Smith, secretary-treasurer. Left to right, seated: Mr. E. B. Robbins, Dr. A. E. Shearer, Dr. T. T.

Compris- ing more or less the cream of the crop, this color- ful organization boa 5 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,” 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 organiza- tions 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 scholar- ship of this group, for its symbol has become as well known as its famous name. Every year Blue Key takes part in all school activities, and contributes perhaps more than its share. An example of this is the Blue Key Activi- ty Schedule. It also is the co-sponsors in staging the annual Blue Key-Cardinal Key reunion ban- quet. Officers are Alan Amend, president; W. D. Thorne, vice-president; Wayne Earnest, cor- responding secretary; Bill Seeds, treasurer. Dr. A. E. Shearer sponsors the fraternity. Page 110 Boule Boule this year enjoyed a continuance of their lasting popularity and success throughout twenty-four years of campus life. With its name pronounced “Boo-lay,” the order is rich in the lore of the ancient Greeks,' with much of its his- torical background attributed to the founder and sponsor, T. A. Houston. Just what happens at Boule meetings and during initiation no one seems to know, and mem- bers only smile in reply to outsiders’ questions, for Boule is the most secret of secret campus clubs. Among other things a prospective mem- ber must do is to declare an intention of graduat- ing from Southeastern. This assures a positive patriotism of members to their alma mater 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 term as well as in regular semester. Left to right, Front row: Joy Clay, Ruth Hobbs, Marjorie Davis, Val Maples, Sarah Green, Marian Davis.

These seven “Keys” were powerful and knew how to get their objectives realized. They entered a float in the Homecoming parade, and contribut- ed a king sized gold key to the Friendship Fire. They sponsored their annual Arbor Day pro- gram in assembly and received the donations of other organizations for Mr. Robbin’s tree fund. They presented “Ten Pretty Girls” in a beautiful extravaganza of song, color, and dance. Collaborating with Blue Key they served coffee at open house at Homecoming and climax- ed the eventful year with the annual Blue Key- Cardinal Key reunion banquet. Page 112 Kappa Delta Pi The Beta Delta chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, national honor society in education, was estab- lished at Southeastern State College May 14, 1928, and affiliated with the national organiza- tion at the same time. Each year the Beta Delta chapter gives a five-dollar award to Southeastern’s outstanding student. In 1948 the award was given to Joe Montgomery., 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. Alan Amend was vice-president, and Ruth West 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 concern- ing the number of college hours in the field of education which vary according to the junior or senior rank of the student.

SLAUGHTER Editor Sports Editor Advertising Circulation ADVISER Every other Wednesday, Southeastern students pick up their copy of “The Southeastern ' official publication of the College, and read news of student activities and campus life, society, sports, feature and editorial comments. This coverage of campus news and news affecting the cam- pus comes through the full semesters and the summer term. When “The Southeastern” was established twenty-seven years ago by Dr. E. M. Haggard, professor of modern languages, and Mr. Paul Laird, professor of chemistry, now deceased, it was printed on a sheet only half the size of today’s paper, and was written for the most part by Dr. Haggard and Mr. Laird. SLAUGHTER LAWHORN JOHNSON DANEY CUMNOCK Today the paper is actually a laboratory project for journalism students. Here students enolled in journalism can prget a practical working knowledge of newspaper work. The future journalists employ the same methods for gathering their campus news as the metropolitan newspaper reporters. Since its humble beginning in 1922, “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 circulated to alumni in South- eastern Oklahoma, and is sent to distant points in the nation. A member of the Oklahoma College Press Association, the paper is judged each year in competition with other state college publications for ranking in make-up, news, society, sports, features, and editorials. Dick Lawhorn shouldered the burden of editor and business man- ager during the school year 1948-49. Other members of the staff were Ben Cumnock, sports editor; Derrell Johnson, advertising manager; and Vivian Daney, circulation. The reporting staff for the first semester included Jacqueline Campbell, Leonard Clark, Joe Reece, Margy Robinson, Joe Wright, and Robert Glafcke; for the second semester, reporters were Robert Glafcke, Sarah Green, Jim Hampton, and Ralph Kyker.

During the fourteenth week of the second semester of each year, a school-wide election is held to determine the new president, vice-presi- dent, and secretary-treasurer of the Student Council. This group of officers go into office the following fall term. Then each semester, each class elects a boy and girl representative to serve on the Student Council. This council is per- haps the most democratic council made up of students in the United States. These students run the show. They formulate and carry out plans for the Homecoming Parade, intramural sports, recreation programs, an all school dance each semester, a freshman get-acquainted dance at the beginning of each year. They help with the Savage Forensics, the Friendship Fire, Senior Day, and nearly every school activity. Since, as a rule, they meet only once a week, their meetings usually have a lot of business to take care of. Of great assistance to the Student Council is Dean A. E. Shearer, adviser, and President T. T. Montgomery, sponsor. Membership of the council for the first semester included Bill Seeds and Betty Long, seniors; Theodore Nichols and Dorothy Maddox, juniors; Joe Machetta and Betty June Stewart, sophomores; and, Bob John- ston and Vivian Daney, freshmen. Representa- tives for the second semester were Mary Alice Atkison and Bill Seeds, seniors; Emmet Meraz and Betty Anne Power, juniors; Sue Green and Bill Tomme, sophomores; Johnnie Hooe and Garland Jackson, freshmen.

In those three years, 1946, 1947; and 1948, using Coach Stevens’ modified T formation, SSC teams have won 28 games, lost six, and tied one. During that time, the Savages rolled up 485 points against 225 for the opposition. Today’s experts, using this record of the post-war Savages under “Dave,” rate South- eastern as one of the finest small college elevens in this section of the country. 1948 Schedule and Results Score We They Date Location 7 0 September 17 Southeast Missouri at Cape Girardeau, Mo. 33 13 October 1 Northeastern at Tahlequah 2 6 October 8 Central at Durant 7 0 October 16 East Texas Baptist at Marshall, Texas 20 7 October 22 Northwestern at Durant 12 6 October 29 Mississippi Delta at Durant 12 6 November 5 Southwestern at Weatherford 6 0 November 19 East Central at Ada 0 7 December 10 Ouachita College (Arkansas) at Denison, Texas Texoma Bowl (First bowl game in history of Southeastern) Conference games Page 120 For the third straight season, the Southeastern Savages took top honors in the Oklahoma Collegiate Conference race.

Both teams dropped one game in conference play, Southeastern losing to Central, and the Broncs dropping an upset tilt to the Southwestern Tech Bulldogs. For the first time in history the Savages played a bowl tilt in 1948, clashing with the Ouachita Tigers of Arkadelphia, Arkansas, in the first annual Texoma bowl at Denison, Texas. The Savages dropped the tilt by a 0-7 score, after pre-game injuries deprived them of the ser- vices of James Taylor, starting tackle and team captain, and Lee Allen, regular fullback. In- juries early in the game also cost the Southeastern crew heavily when Forrest Stewart, reserve fullback, left the field with a dislocated shoulder. Primarily, the 1948 Savages were a defensive club, holding all opposition to a total of 45 points for the nine-game schedule. Arthur “Skinney” Stewart again led the Southeastern scoring parade in 1948 as the big sophomore halfback racked up 60 of 99 points htat the Sav- ages scored. All-conference honors fell to many of Southeastern players. Ten of the starting eleven were selected on the first or second “dream” team or given honorable mention for these elevens. Arthur Stewart, halfback; J. C. Dunn, end; Aubrey Williamson, tackle; and James Harris, guard, were first team selections. James Taylor, team captain and tackle; and Lee Allen, full- back were second team choices. W. D. Thorne, quarterback; Bud O’Dea, center; Bill Redman, blocking back; and Merle Harrel, end, were given honorable mention. Left to Right, top row: W. D. Thorne, Bob Howard, Buster Drew, J. T. Williams, Don Belt, Roy Stephenson. Bottom row: Charles Sullivan, Don Roberts, Ray West, Gordon Vaughan, John Simpson, Elmer Butler. Page 121 The Savages opened the 1948 football season away from home against the Southeast Missouri team at Cape Girardeau, Mo. Arthur Stewart iced this one away with a 45-yard touch- down gallop in the third quarter. Second game for the Southeastern team threw them headlong into the conference war with the Northeastern Redmen at Tahlequah. In a bruising battle, the Southeastern eleven took their second game by a 33-13 score. Stewart scored twice, brother Forrest once, Lee Allen once, and a pair of passes from Thorne to Dunn were good for the final markers. Tom McVay con- verted three of the PATs. i � Left to right, top row: Don Edelen, Curtis Green, Bill Redman, Gene Ligon, Earl Allen, Bill Chambers. Bottom row: Orb Whaley, Emmet Meraz, Dan Wilson, Dick Allen, Charles Miller, James Harris. Page 122 Central State furnished the opposition in the first Savage home game and the show by tacking a 6-2 loss on the Savages, their only defeat in conference play. Both scores came as a result of blocked kicks with the Southeastern crew collecting two points on a safety and the Broncs getting a touchdown when they recoovered in the Savage end zone. Dunn scored the two Savage points. The Savages again hit the win column in their next game against the East Texas Baptist in Marshall, Texas. In a sluggish game, the Savages finally shook Stewart loose to win, 7-0. Left to right, top row: Ovid White, Tom Vaughan, Earnest Kennedy, Bobby Cowan, Bennett Freeny. Bottom row: Wendell Hardesty, Leo Beller, Ray Haley, Paul Alley, Earl Prestage, Billy Stewart. Page 123 Northwestern’s razzle-dazzle Rangers played in the second home game of the season for the Savages. Stewart’s power in the line and Dunn’s pass catching gave the Savages a 20-7 win. In their third and final home game of the season, the Southeastern team turned in one of the finest ball games in the school’s history as they roared out from the under-dog’s role to beat Mississippi Delta, 12-6. In beating the Deltans, the Savages beat one of the finest small college elevens in the South. Stewart scored both of the Southeastern TDs. November 5 saw the Savages back in the conference scramble against tne tough South- western Tech Bulldogs at Weatherford. Stewart and Dunn punched across two touchdowns in the face of a norther to lead the Savages to a 12-6 win. Left to right, top row: Nelson Turnbow, Tom McVay, Ben Earnest, Merle Harrell, Frank Cornell. Bottom row: Earl Minter, J. C. Dunn, Orbrey Williamson, Forrest Stewart, Arthur Stewart, Bob Lemon. Page 124 Winding up the regular season, the Savages met the East Central Tigers at Ada in their annual grudge battle. Savage defense proved too much for the Tigers as they went down on the short end of a 6-0 count. Stewart scored the lone TD for the Savages. This win cost the Savages the service of Lee Allen and James Taylor. Both men missed the Texoma bowl as a re- sult of injuries received in this game. December 10 saw the Southeastern eleven journey down the Bowl game trail for the first time in the school's history. Playing in the first annual Texoma bowl at Denison, Texas, the Savages dropped a 7-0 game to the Ouachita Tigers of Arkadelphia, Arkansas. Riddled by in- juries, the Savages were unable to halt a fluke scoring drive of the Tigers in the third quarter. Left to right, top row: Lyndol I.by, Marlin Wanner, Wayne Aldridge, Lee Allen, Richard Harrison. Bottom row: James Taylor, Bud O’Dea, James Riddle, W. L. Hawkins, Warren Lewis, Ben Cumnock. Page 125 Basketball Coach Bloomer Sullivan Under the directing hand of Coach Bloomer Sullivan, the 1948-49 edition of the South- eastern State College basketball team finished a 31-game season with a record of 23 wins and 8 losses. During the conference wars, the Savages wound up in second place behind the two con- ference co-champions, East Central and Northwestern. The Savages finished the conference race with a record of 10 wins and 4 losses. Defending their title in the State AAU meet at Bartlesville, the Southeastern crew was defeated in the semi-finals by the OBU Bisons in the closest game of the season. The Bi- son defeated the Savages, 50-49, in two overtime periods. The Savages won the consolation match from Phillips University by a score of 57-48 to take third place in the meet. The Savages opened the new season December 3 with a five game northern tour, play- ing the Ft. Smith Boys’ Club, Caterpillar Tractors of Peoria, Illinois; and Arkansas State Col- lege of Jonesboro. The SSC five defeated the Ft. Smith crew, 55-33, dropped a pair to the Trac- tors, 44-30, and, 52-38, and won the final two games with Arkansas State, 39-38, and, 50-34. The Tractors were paced by Broom Womble, Southeastern guard, who left for the AAU berth after the 1947-48 season. Page 126 Following this trip, the Savages turned to the South and played a four game schedule on the courts of Randolph Field, Lackland Air Base, and St. Mary's University. The South- eastern crew made, a clean sweep on this jaunt defeating Randolph Field, 46-32, Lackland, 54- 52, and St. Mary's twice, 49-41, and, 36-32. Opening at home, the Savages played two games December 31 and January 1 against the East Texas Baptists and Hensley Field Air Base. The Savages defeated the Baptists by a 65-42 score and routed the Army quintet by a 52-19 count.. January 7 found the Savages entering the conference wars and opening against the Northeastern Rangers at Tahlequah. The SSC club won the opener 41-37. The following night, still on the road, the Savages tangled with their arch rival, the East Central Tigers. The Tigers held a jinx of the last two years over the locals and gave them their first defeat of the conference campaign, 59-46. Opening the conference season at home the following weekend, the Savages bounded back to take a pair of games from Central and Southwestern Tech. The locals defeated the Broncs by a 47-41 count and the Bulldogs by a 48-36 margin. Left to right: Johnny Parker, Howard Wright, Stacey Parker, Milburn Power, Don Scott, Bill Parrish, Warren Lewis, Bill Seeds, Kirby Minter, John Birdsong, Mark Winters, Ray Robyler, Troy Webb, Johnny Ogle. Page 127 Again on the road, the Savages ran their winning streak to three games, turning back the Phillips University Haymakers at Enid, 57-47. The following night at Alva, the SSC crew ran into the Red-hot Rangers of Northwestern and dropped their second conference tilt by a 54- 42 count. During the mid-semester break and the the idle week in the conference following, the Savages again turned south for a trio of games. The Southeastern team played a return visit to the Hensley Field crewT and dropped them for a second time, 71-34. Still in the neighborhood, the locals played a visit to Grand Prairie Naval Base and added another scalp to their belt in the process. The Savages trimmed the Swabbies, 62-51. After a couple of days rest, the South- eastern five journeyed to Texarkana, Texas, where they engaged the highly regarded Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks. The locals trimmed these lads, 49-39. - The following week found the SSC team busy on the road with a pair of conference tilts and a return game with the East Texas Baptists. The Savages bounced through a pair of contests with the OBU Bisons and Northeastern Redmen, turning back the Bison, 47-39, and the Redmen, 45-53. On their third trip to Texas returning a match with the East Texas Baptists, the Savages again went down losing to the Texans, 54-51. Page 128 Home again after the big ice storm, the Savages turned back another pair of conference foes, defeating Phillips, 71-59. The following evening, the Savages hardwood quintet played their greatest game of the season stopping the Northwestern Rangers, 60-47, after a string of ten � straight wins for the Alva team. Going down the home stretch of the conference race, the Savages again took to the road for a date with Central and Southwestern Tech. Finding the Brones on the rebound, the Sav- ages dropped their third conference game, 49-43, but came back the next night to defeat the Bulldogs, 50-36. Winding up the season at home, the Savages played the OBU Bison March 1 and a postponed game with the East Central Tigers on March 3. The tribe turned back the Herd, 33- 30, but dropped their final game to East Central, 50-48. In dropping this last one, the Savages drifted td second place in the conference and nanded the Tiger a share of the conference crown. The State AAU meet came next and the Savages went to Bartlesville to defend their title. The Enidaires, an independent team, dropped out and gave the locals a pass to the quarter- finals where they won from Southwestern Tech,72-57, for their largest score of the year. The following night, the Southeastern crew ran cold and were dropped from the meet by a 50-49 de- Page 129 feat engineered by the OBU Bison. The Herd went into two overtime periods to pull this one out of the fire. Winding up the year's activities, five of the Savages were mentioned for all conference honors, Kirby Minter, Southeastern’s sensational sophomore forward, made all-conference first team, Troy “Curly” Webb was selected for the second five, while John Birdsong, Warren Lewis, and Bill Seeds gained honorable mention. In the scoring department, the Savages were led by Troy Webb and Kirby Minter, a pair who finished sixth and seventh in the conference scoring race which Webb led last year. Defensive honors went to John Birdsong, Ray Roblyer, and Milburn Powers. Special mention should be made of the fine work turned in by the two Savage centers, Bill Seeds and Warren Lewis.'Seeds was third in team scoring and Lewis was easily one of the best defensive men in the conference. Of special interest were several Southeastern substitutes, who will probably be carry- ing a great deal of the basketball load nevt year. Jack Ogle, Don Scott, Vernie Stallings, Bill Parrish, A. J. Minter, Stacy Parker, Johnny Parker, and Howard Wright turned in several fine performances this year both in easy roles and when the going got rough. Page 130 Tennis Left to right: Bob Shelby, Bruce Blake, Coach Clarence Dyer, Don Nolan, Jimmy Nesbitt. Tennis prospects for 1949 had Savage Coach Clarence Dyer starting almost entirely from scratch. Losses from 1948 included Warren Womble, conference single champion; R. L. Johnson, who teamed with Womble to give Southeastern the championship doubles combine; and David Bryant, regular team member. These three men, with Don Nolan, comprised the Savage team that took second place in conference team play last season. The Southeastern team lost to Central of Edmond by one point fjr the team championship. With Nolan the only veteran on the squad, Coach Dyer is building a new team around Bruce Blake, Jim Nesbitt, and Bob Shelby. In addition to conference play, the Savage netters are planning extensive tours of the col- leges and universities in Oklahoma and Texas. Already on the calendar are a pair of matches with the University of Oklahoma and one with Oklahoma A M. Page 131 Track The Southeastern track team, second place team in the conference meet in 1948, was looking forward to a bigger and better season in 1949. Last year’s Savage team lost to Okla- homa Baptist university’s Bison in a thriller at the conference meet as the OBU team nosed out the SSC crew by a little more than three points. The Savage team this season was virtually the same, strong in every event. The 1949 edition of the Savage track team featured one of the strongest sprint combinations in the con- ference with Merle Harrel and Dick Allen burning up the cinders. Allen is the 1947 conference title holder, while Harrel took the same honors in ’48. Lee Allen was back in his old station lead- ing the hurdlers, as was Leslie Milson in the 440 and John Greer in the distance races. Weight men again were led by Arthur Stewart, Tom McVay, Earl Minter. The incomplete roster includes Dick Allen, Merle Harrel, Leslie Milson, John Greer, Arthur Stewart, Earl Minter, Tom McVay, Marlin Wanner, Nelson Turnbow, W. O. Hawkins, Lee Allen, Howard Wright, Charles Choate, Overton James, Don Cobb, Travis Fuller, Kirby Minter, Emmett Meraz, Bob Long. In addition to conference meets, the Savages under Coach Bloomer Sullivan, planned individual meets with surrounding colleges, as well as some of the larger meets offering several classes of competition. Baseball For the third year, the Southeastern Savages have launched plans for a baseball team to represent the school. While this team will not compete in the college conference race, Coach Bloomer Sullivan has announced plans to play as many games as possible with surrounding colleges, sandlot teams, semi-pros, and professional teams. Games have already been scheduled with Austin College of Sherman, Tfcxas, and Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. More are due to come in as this yearbook goes to press. The 1949 roster includes Don Edelen, Rex Rowe, Marceau Rowland, Charles Sullivan, Quinton Douglas, Tom Embree, Earl Allen, Harold Garrison, Wayne Aldridge, Forrest Stewart, James Powell, Ben Earnest, Stanley Patty, Ray Haley, Joe Machetta, Arthur Stewart, Don Scott, Emmett Meraz, Elmer Butler, Don Jones, Frank Cornell, Joe Hank, Edjuel Allen, Boyd Phillips, William Allen, John Walker, Neill Langford, Dave Abernathy, Overton James, Ray Roblyer, Bill Parrish, Tom McVay, Calvin Clary, J. T. Barrick, Bill Jones, Marvin McDaniel, Billy Ray Stewart, Mark Pike, E. W. Clemens, Frank Barrick, W. G. Cox, and James Taylor. 1948’s Savage team sent two men to pro baseball: pitcher Charles Clark to Pauls Val- ley and outfielder J. C. Dunn to the Washington Senators.
