VIRGINIA FISHER Secretary to President DR. A. E. SHEARER President of College After serving Southeastern State College for many years as Dean, Dr. Allen E. Shearer last summer was chosen President. Congratulations from all parts of the country came to the college and to Dr. Shearer as the selection of the new president was made known. Continuation of the college's progress toward higher standards of service has marked President Shearer's first year in office and points to a distin- guished administration for the new executive. DR. GUY A. CURRY Dean of College Although he has been on the campus less than a year, Dr. Guy A. Curry has already made himself a part of Southeastern. Faculty and students alike always get a friendly welcome in his office and sympathetic attention to any problems which need solving. Effie Montgomery Dean of Women In her new position as Dean of Women, Miss Effie Mont- gomery continues to prove that she is always at the serv- ice of Southeastern students, the men as well as the girls. John T. Krattiger Dean of Students John T. Krattiger's genuine in- terest in Southeastern students and their activities has earned both their affection and re- spect.

DOAK WALKER All-American Football Player at S.M.U. WHO’S WHO Bill Hughes saved the day for the Savages many a football game, but his position on the campus was not due solely to his athletic prowess. A good student and an enthusiastic supporter of all worthwhile campus activities, he held the respect of students and faculty members alike. Beauty and Brains are combined in Doris Andrews, English Major from Denison, who has received more honors in her three years at Southeastern than most students receive in four. Doris was one of the ten pretty girls her Senior year, she was 1952-53 President of Kappa Delta Pi, held offices in her class and other organizations, was a member of both The Southeastern and The Savage staff, and was the 1952 Eloise K. Robbins award winner. BILL HUGHES During his Senior year he was President of his fraternity and other organizations, along with serving as Editor of The Savage. DORIS ANDREWS Twice in two years Joe Duggan won first prize at the Beaux Arts Ball with his mu- rals. Art was his prin- cipal interest and his most outstanding tal- ent, but his interests extended into many other fields. JAMES JOHNSON 0 Hailing from Cumber- land, Oklahoma, Diane Poole is a fa- miliar and welcome sight around the S.S.C. campus. Diane is getting practical ex- perience for her fu- ture work. Diane's major is secretarial training, and she is gaining practical ex- perience in this field Math and Chemistry may be the downfall of some students, but they were the best angles of college 'for red-headed James Johnson, President of Magic Pentagon. A member of Sigma Tau Gamma and an officer in Blue Key, Johnson was one of the best students on the campus. Nashoba, in Push county, is his home town. Good things come in small packages is daily displayed by Wilma Nichols. Though small of stature, Wilma manages to combine large quantities of work and study, as she scur- ries from the Dean of Women's office, where she has worked since first coming to Southeastern, to class. Wilma also finds time to serve as Secretary of Kappa Delta Pi and College Players. by serving as Secre- tary of her sorority. Pi Kappa Sigma. Diane is also a mem- ber of B o u I e, Pi Omega Pi and Cardi- nal Key. WILMA NICHOLS A family and a job down town kept Donald Collier from participating in extra-curricular activities at Southeastern, but he made up for it in his scholastic record. Chemistry and Mathematics were his principal interests on the campus; and his professors in those departments predict a gratifying career for this Hawood student. Music, music, music! —that's Verna Turnage of Gainesville, Texas, who was chosen for Who's Who in her Junior year. Although Verna sang on many programs, she will be remembered most vividly for her portrayal of roles in two operas, Down in the Valley, and Amahl and the Night Visitors. She was also a member of Sigma Tau Delta and worked in the President's office. VERNA TURNAGE DONALD COLLIER Lois Sutherland of Atoka made many friends on the campus dur- ing her stay at S.S.C. A music major and member of Pi Kappa Sigma, Lois found time for many B.S.U. activities and was one of the best-liked girls at Hallie Mc- Kinney Hall. | LOIS SUTHERLAND Bobbie Boothe, Mead, is one of the very favorite Southeastern campus coeds. Popular Bobbie was chosen Hellhound Sweetheart her Sophomore year and as a member of Alpha Sigma Tau, she is very active in sorority work. A business major, Bobbie takes dictaphone in hand and looks ahead to the future and the executive's position which she will someday hold. BOBBIE BOOTHE FRANK SPENCER Frank Robert Spencer of Cameron may not be so well known on the Southeastern campus—but everyone knows Buddy ! A basketball star and President of the Student Council, Spencer made a host of friends on the campus and won the affection and respect of students and faculty members alike. That old saying about still water running deep seemed to apply to Marilyn Watkins, Denison resident of Hallie McKinney Hall. But her friends insisted that she was not really quiet when you knew her well. Making grades was the least of Marilyn's worries—as a check of her scholastic record will show. A member of Pi Kappa Sigma, Marilyn majored in Business Education and minored in Spanish. MARILYN WATKINS Mary Helen Carlat from Denison, Texas is known by the nickname Windy on the Southeastern campus. Of course this is because she is such an enthusiastic con- versationalist, but not only can Windy talk about many things, she can do many things. She has both a practical and an artistic side, as she displays in her ma- jor, home economics, and her minor, art. Also socially minded, Mary Helen serves as President of her sorority. Alpha Sigma Tau, and Cardinal Key. JOHN DOMINGUEZ John Dominguez of Mercedes, Texas, was not on the campus long before he began making his name well known. His activities brought honors to him and to the college. He served as President of The Inter- national Relations Club two years and also was President of the Latin Club. He received awards in debate and in Latin, and was a member of Sigma Tau Delta, English fraternity and Phi Alpha Theta, history fraternity which sent him to the Puerto Rico national convention. MARY HELEN CARLAT Phil Mazor of Oakland, California, has made an important contribution to dramatics at Southeastern. His characteriza- tion of the Father in “The Barretts of Wimpole Street will long be remembered. Phil has been President of Alpha Psi Omega and College Players, drama groups, is a member of Sigma Tau Gamma social fraternity and Sigma Tau Delta, and was Advertising Manager of The Southeastern. PHIL MAZOR Another beauty 'n' brains combination was Ruth Ann Fleak. In addition to being a repeat in the beauty section of the year- book, Ruth Ann was named Blue Key fa- vorite her Senior year. RUTH ANN FLEAK Anna Lou Springer, Durant, proved herself an able leader as President of Pi Kappa Sigma social sorority. Business education and home economics gave her an interesting choice of careers to follow after college. Social life and college extras did not keep her from holding down a job down town. As President of Boule, an active member of Pi Kappa Sigma, and a member of other campus groups, Ruth Ann was one of the most popular girls at S.S.C.

Dave Stevens, head football coach, is a graduate and former athlete of South- eastern. He came to Southeastern in 1941 and has a very impressive record behind him. Coach Stevens' Savages have won three conference titles since 1946 and have finished second three times and tied for fourth once. In the past seven years he has won 42 games, lost 23, and tied 4. Coach Stevens also serves as track coach. Although the Savages have not won a track crown in the past six years, they finished second in 1947, 1948, and 1949. They were nosed out by OBU in 1947 by two points and again in 1948 by 1 3 point. The 1952 Savages finished the seas- on with four wins against four losses, but those who watched them play know that the team was much better than their rec- ord indicated . BLOOMER SUUdVAN Assistant Coach The highlight of the season for the Stevensmen was their 7 to 6 win over Austin College. Although the team won only four of their eight games, they proved themselves worthy with their fight, hustle, and sports- manship. Again this year as in the past, Coach Stevens was assisted by the very capable Bloomer Sullivan. m -- ■ The first game with Austin College, with the Savages the underdogs in all the sports writers predictions, was a thrilling opening for the Southeaste'm crowd which traveled to Denison for the Kiwanis-sponsored game. Stevens has every reason to hope for an outstanding team during the next few years, since many of this year's squad were Freshmen. 1952 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Austin College September 26 ________________________ Northeastern __________________________ Central _______ Northwestern Homecoming 24 ____________________________ Ouachita 31 ______________________ Southwestern ______ Southern State East Central September 19 September 26 October 3 October 18 October 24 October 31 November 7 November 14 Although their conference showing was fourth, the 1952 Savages gave their loyal fans their money's worth from the start of the season until that disappoint- ing loss to Ada-East Central's first win over S.S.C. in eight years.

DALE ERNST KENNETH ANDERSON HARRY DODD BILLY MILLS Guard—Drumright Tackle—Talihina Center—Ardmore End—Hugo Southeastern pulled the biggest upset of the young season, September 19 as the Savages defeated heralded Austin College 7-6. Little Herbie Adams, a Senior transfer student from Florida, brought South- eastern fans to their feet with a dazzling 75-yard punt return for the winning touchdown in the third quarter. The Central Bronchos, led by Quarterback Don Reed, fired three touchdown passes to lead Central in a 19-0 victory over Southeastern at Paul Laird Field October 3. The Savages' ground attack caught fire the second half as Dave Emerson, Her- bie Adams, and Bill Hughes ran the ball to the Central 20 yard line. That was as far as the Savages could go as a fumble again ruined the scoring opportunity. Led by Herbie Adams and Bill Hughes, Southeastern got its first conference win of the season as the Savages downed Northwestern 14-7 October 18. The homecoming crowd went away happy as the Savages fought off two last- period drives by the Rangers to sew up the victory. It was Bill Hughes and Herbie Adams in the drivers7 seat again as they led Southeastern to a 28-7 victory over Ouachita at Paul Laird field October 24. Southeastern moved a step closer to a second-place tie in the Collegiate Con- ference October 31, when the Savages shaded Southwestern 7-6 at Weatherford. Winning touchdown of this game was made on a run by David Emerson. George Barnett booted his eighth extra point of the season to give the Savages their margin of victory. Southern State, Magnolia, Arkansas, scored in the first quarter and was never headed as they took a 27-14 verdict from Southeastern on Paul Laird field November 7. The Savages were led by linebackers Bud Bahner and Buddy Tomme; ends, Billy Mills and Kenneth Anderson, and guard Loyd Ernst. A fired-up band of East Central Tigers took their first football victory in eight years from Southeastern as they downed the Savages 42 to 14 at Ada Novem- ber 14. George Barnett kept his 1000 average intact as he booted his 13th extra point in 13 attempts for the season.

CONFERENCE Ijfea Sawzfye Mc le £01 youf CLARENCE DYER Tennis Coach Clarence Dyer, Southeastern's dynamic tennis coach, has tutored the Savages' tennis squad for six years and has yet to finish below second place in the Collegiate Conference. He has en- joyed conference crowns in 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, and finished second in 1948. Supplied last year with only one returning regular. Coach Dyer's netmen captured the con- ference title in addition to every place in the conference tournament. Last year, with Kenneth Lewis, the returning regular in the number one spot, Max Prewitt, who saw limited action in the number two spot, along with two newcomers, Raydean Cotton Fryer, and Cecil Duncan, the team won every conference match. At the end of school the team traveled to Abilene, Texas, to the National Association of Inter-Collegiate Athletics Tournament and had the only double winner registered in the history of the meet. Lewis brought first recognition to Southeastern when he won third place in the singles, while the double team composed of Duncan and Prewitt won third place in doubles. With these wins, the Savage team is currently ranked third in the nation. AN this is due to Coach Dyer's great efforts to bring the game of tennis some recognition to Southeastern.
