JOE FREEMAN EDITOR MARIE TAYLOR MANAGER THE OAK LEAF for LOZ cone ne ee Editors Note.. iswatowns sateen Se Aaa Nace aes eee The editor should write his annual message in the fall, when he’s full of enthusiasm, grand plans, stupendous dreams, and unlimited trust in his staff-to-be and his annual-to-be. After seven months of down-to-earth (sometimes in the gutter) struggle, a lot of the shine has been taken off those early dream, so that the editor is not sure how printable a message he is likely ta write. In his editorial pessimism he wants to apologize ror errors he knows of now, and for those which will surprise him as much as they will you the day the book is published. But it would be downright dishonest for the editor to forget the less apparent, but more permanent, values in this years work. A few staff members have carried loyalty to an almost heroic degree, and the fun we have had in putting Weatherford College, 1938-1939, between the pages of this year-book foretells, we sincerely hope, a little of your satisfaction with what we have done. PRESIDENT G. C. BOSWELL In his three years’ service as head of Weatherford College, President Boswell has built more than physical improvements into the institution. He has instilled business principles into its operation, and has stamped its policies with an unmistakable progressiveness. His task has been an extremely exacting one, one which calls for shrewdness and versatility, industry and common sense of the highest order. The forward marches made by Weatherford College in these years have been at the command of his leadership. In recognition of the constructive qualities he has brought to the presidency of this College, the student body is proud to dedicate the 1939 Oak Leaf, to Grover Cleveland Bos- well, M.A. Oak Leaf 1939 Printed By Weatherford Herald Photography By Mrs. Kelly Engraving By Stafford Engraving Co. COVA SOWA Ss Couts Hall was built in 1926 and was furnished by the College Club. It was named for the late J. R. Couts. Couts Hall has accommodations for about thirty-five girls and the Dean of Women, Mrs. J. D. Works. Columbia Hall... . Columbia Hall was bought by Weatherford College in June, 1938. It was refurnished throughout and new rooms were added. Twenty-four boys stayed here this year, besides Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Jordan, manager and matron of the Hall. Gymnasium..... The Gymnasium was built in 1926, on a lot furnished by the Chamber of Commerce, the Gym is just across the campus from the Administration Building and has a _ seating capacity of about one thousand. In 1938 it was remodeled and a new maple floor put in. Administration ..... 5. President G. C. Boswell..... Prestdents Message..... Another year has gone. By your habits and high standards, moral and intellectual, | you have endeared yourselves to the faculty and the friends of the College. An insti- tution is measured by the high standards and achievements of its student body. We extend a hearty invitation to you to come back and be with us at our annual home coming and to feel that you are an integral part of the College, an institution that has played an important part,in the development of a high type of citizen. You are to be congratulated, and as president of Weatherford College, I extend to your hearty congratulations from the faculty and trust that you will carry into your various communities and into your life’s work the many fine lessons that you have learned within the walls and on the campus of this institution. It is our hope that your vision has been broadened and that you will find happiness in hard work and by extending a glad hand to all those with whom you come in contact. DeanW. B. McDaniel... .. a LI Deans Message..... Again we come to the end of a school year and a2?ain we must part company; some of you for only a brief period of three months, others for a long and rather indefinite period. Whether your stay in Weatherford College has been for one year of for two; your experiences here have added to your education. As you leave these portals, some to return, others never to return, my admonition is to choose your friends with care. Your friends will be your constant associates. From them you will choose your husband or wife. Form friendships with people from many walks of life for they will brcaden and enrich your character. Choose people for what they are and not for what they seem or what they have. Remember, one is judged by the company one _ keeps. Your happiness in the future will in a great measure by determined by the friendships you cultivate. aT) .) lak Leat IOG39 GOCHLL ae or aif] � Al if : oA |} i “e ul i , , | GROVER CLEVELAND BOSWELL, President ‘ey rn ie | History ey, | De yr ‘ yi i n YA B.

The 1938-39 forensic season was for Weatherford College a continuation of the prof- iiable work done in speech activities in the past by Weatherford Ccilege students. The debaters, beginning early a study of the efficacy cf New Deal pump-priming, engaged in a series of informal contests and competed in the Ouachita College tournament at Arkadel- phia, Arkansas, before entering conference competition. Both men’s and women’s teams won district championships at Ranger on March 30, but were eliminated in the quarter- finals of the state tournament April 18. Graves and Poplin shared the Knickerbocker and Zellers prizes, and Wentworth and Hazlewood were awarded the President’s prizes for best girl debaters. a DAT HS ITASSON, (2).

Once your electric service bill did cover only lighting. But today the average ELECTRIC SERVICE BILL for all uses of electricity in the home is about the same that was paid for lighting alone not so many years ago. It has taken thousands of dollars in additional invest- ment, great outlays of money for maintenance, and a num- ber of additional employes to provide you with the de- pendable electricity needed to meet your present demands.
