The ancient Creek Antigone involves t sons and two daughters of mother-loving Oedipus, lately departed King Thebes, and his brother-in-law, Creon who has now become king. The t1 brothers have had a civil war and have killed each other, and Croen full righteousness and edicts, has ordained that one of the brothers be left t buried carrion for dogs and villtures. Antigone, a sister, defies the edict, heaps earth upon the dishonored corp and is buried alive for punishment.

Over the past 10 years Southeastern Oklahoma State University has developed one of the strongest NAIA baseball programs in the nation. There are 254 victories, 71 the past two seasons, to back up that state- ment. The competition has included some major colleges along with tough District and Area opponents. Hopefully, the 1975 Savages will add to that tradition. Dr. Don Parham is beginning his 11th year as baseball boss of the Savages and has yet to taste a losing season. Last year's mark of 41 wins and 14 losses makes a tough act for this year's Savages to follow. More major schools are on the schedule this time around, among them one of the storied names in collegiate athletics. On March 27, Notre Dame leaves behind the golden dome and comes to Little Dixie to test Doc Parham's Savages in a twinbiil. Notre Dame is just one of the top foes on a rugged 53-game slate for 1975. Oklahoma State, Southern Methodist University and Tulsa University are other major powers the Savages will face. Parham comments: We were our own worst enemies. We made too many errors and they came when we could least afford them . Coach Parham came within one run of the national playoffs. The club was dedi- cated and really worked hard. Our Seniors led the way all season and I feel they did an outstanding job —Parham. Seven single-season team records were set. The '74 Savages had new marks for most runs (369), hits (435), doubles (78), triples (25), bases on balls (295), runs batted in (314) and wins (41). I've had teams that hit better, teams that fielded better — but none that won more games. And that's what you really go by, All-OCC Conference 1974 — Joe Shaddix, Wayne Sagely, Bert Weryavah, Gary Gray, and Tony Cazzelle.

In fact, it hardly has any structure at all. It is an informal gather ing of people - many of them not Episcopalians—to think to- gether, talk together, accept each other, and seek Christ. Beginning with the annual wine and cheese party, topics for exploration may include the occult, chariots of the gods, mysticism, mir- acles, etc. Not a pressure group, but fellowship that is centered in the Church, Canterbury meets in apartments of members and the local Epis- copal Church, St. John's, with the leadership ofFr.Sudduth Cummings, its priest.

Sharmin McCreary Copy.........................Rudy Ellis Academics ................Linda Isbeil Classes.............Norma Standridge Honors ..........................Donna Clark Typist..........................Frances Gilbert It has become a tradition for this page to reflect the past year and to mention in passing hapless Sisyphus, whose eternal lot in hell is to push a boulder up a mountain, only to stand and watch it roll back down again. It seemed at times we might survive the year without reference to this troubled soul, when dead- lines were met on time and the copy was comprendable, but then there were days when the office was impassable When a whole idea had to be scraped because the photo work order was misplaced and days when the editors instructions were too hazy to make up for his absences. These days we knew we were pushing shoulder to shoulder with Sisyphus all the way. In the beginning of the year I set out to begin a yearbook. I had ideas and theories of what the book should be, but then I made an interesting discovery: all that glitters isn't gold. Gold, in its purest form, is a metal that has been cherished and sought after by man for thousands of years. Wars have been fought for it, loved ones have died for it and women have danced for it. But gold in this state is a physically worthless substance. Under tension it warps and breaks. Although golden ideas and theories are beautiful to behold and imagine, more often than not, they can't withstand the stresses of time. Iron and steel are much more permanent materials. Their strength frequently must be substituted for the glitter of gold. Even though a plan would be astounding formed from gold, it sometimes must be fashioned from a more structually sound metal. In this space I want to thank the little bit of steel I've found in life- my staff. To )ulia, who immediatly became my left hand (and at least three fingers of my right); to Darwin for spending many late hours in the photo-lab for no reward other than personal satisfaction; to Donna who provided the inspir- ation to continue when the future looked bleak; to Patty, the only one of us who knew why we were here; to Sharmin for keeping us on the right track; to Linda for spending hours playing the piano to soothe my shattered nerves; to Norma for just being Norma; to Francis for sense of loyality; to Rudy E. for withstanding all the harrassment; to Carla for being the only Baptist on the staff and surviving; and a multitude of thanks to my advisors, Rudy Manley and Kenneth Nichols, for letting me be my own boss. I also want to give special thanks and to dedicate my part of this book to Lela Lyons, who showed me that a grand piano is nothing more than an over- sized spinnet and for allowing me to discover for myself that all that glitters isn't gold.

SUMMER I remember when the summer sun glared down on us as we walked along the narrow, dusty country road four boys whistling the bobwhite'% song. By the time we reached the swimming hole we were tired, but restless, and had to see who could skip a stone more times than Tom Adams and the winner turned out to be me. We laughed and splashed in the once-still water no thoughts of the farm work that had to be done no thoughts of the long journey home four boys in the water under the hot summer sun. Our pond was an ocean, the field a scorched desert. I imagined mountains in clouds in the sky and turtledoves were eagles soaring over those mountains, though herds of buffaloes in Tom Adams' eyes. Our summer nights were full of lonely peace though lightning would sometimes scare us to death. We would stare at the sky to see falling stars and whisper prayers under our breath. Now 1 walk city streets all year round foolishly pushing my way along reflecting on summer days of ease I sink into the crowd like a stone. FALL He is not as forlorn as he may seem. His mind has no echoes or shadows just love for all he sees. He hears time pass through the sighing autumn wind and calls it his friend though he says he's never seen the wind. In the fall he's known as the pecan man. In the late autumn sky there's a silent struggle of blue fighting white wisps of clouds for control of the sky Or are they loving? He will tell you so while with rough stained hand he pitches pecans both large and small into his paper sack. He's seen at least seventy autumns and says he sees a new and different hue each time around. He is close to himself and understands nature and spiritual things but he'll likely tell you a little learning is a dangerous thing. The songs of spring are far away and the wind arises to warn him of winter. His feeble form will stand firm against a tree like a withered leaf flattened by the wind against an old wire fence. But the pecan man will not be as forlorn as he may seem. WINTER Winter, disguised by mild December Caught the people unaware Thrusting upon them cold and care And changing seasons to remember. Chilled by the thought of wintry skies Descending upon them like a snowy blur. How could this so suddenly occur? The people shivered in silent surprise. Imagination made nothing of ice and snow. They wore frowns like those on old sailors' faces Who forecasts a storm in the traces Of waves that heave the boat to and fro. Winter's power has weakened their men And lonely old rooms bring little relief Leaving them passionless and full of grief. The fire has faded, the cold creeps in.
