OFFICt Or THE PM»IDIf.NT

December 14, 1953

To the students and staff members of Northeastern State College:

It is a pleasure and a privilege to include a note of greetings to each of you for the 1953-54 school year.

As the years go by and you are sitting by your fireplace in the living room thumbing through this annual, I want each of you to know that my work at Northeastern with its staff and its students becomes more pleasant and gratifying each year. I can say this because of the loyalty which is constantly being revealed by students and alumni members day after day.

If it were not for this loyalty and devotion to the cause for which Northeastern was established, it would be impossible for us to have any type of worthwhile program. The realization of purposes and the establishment of new goals are continuous parts of the program and achievements are possible because of you and your attitudes.

As we look at each of your pictures and reminisce, we cannot help but feel that living has been good and will continue to be good because of the small part we have had in helping each of you to be successful in your endeavors.

May the green and white of Northeastern become more colorful to your lives and mine in the future.

Very sincerely yours,

Harrell E. Garrison President X m^^f "^^K

DR. L. H. BALLY Dean of College Dean Deneke has proved to be more than a friend to every student on the Northeastern campus. If you ever have a problem, the Dean of Student Per­ sonnel is ready to help you in any way he can. The school calendar, stu­ dent files, and the much talked about Freshman tests are also part of his responsibility. Dean Deneke is pro­ bably one of the busiest men on the campus, but he is never too busy to help a student.

Dean Bally is the link between the fac­ ulty and the students. As Dean of the College, it is his responsibility to ar­ WESLEY A. DENEKE range classes, check absences, offer Dean of Student Personnel guidance, counseling, assistance with individual problems, and do anything he can to help the students in any way. His office is always open, and there is a standing invitation to come in and visit.

Dean Berkshire is a part of the foun­ dation on which Northeastern stands. As Dean of Women, Miss Berkshire has a chance to become personally ac­ quainted with all the girls on the campus. She is always ready to help solve their problems. She shares their joys and hardships, and her door is always open to students or anyone who just wants to come in for a friend­ ly chat.

ALICE BERKSHIRE Dean of Women EXECUTIVE COUNCIL The Executive Council is a group of faculty members composed of the Dean of the College, the Registrar, the Dean of Student Personnel, the Director of Student Teaching and Placement, and an undesignated number of faculty members whose purpose is to advise with the president on matters con­ CM> cerning the administration and operation of the College. The first Executive Council was organized at Northeastern State College about twenty-five years ago. Mr. L. P. Woods was a charter member, having been appointed by President Hammond, and since then has been a member each year. The Council generally meets once each month during the regular school year. Much of the success of Northeastern in educating young people comes as a result of these meetings. \

WESLEY A. DENEKE LUTHER BROWN L. P. WOODS FACULTY COUNCIL

The Faculty Council is an elected sub­ sidiary body of the Faculty Association, created to facilitate the democratic participation of all members of the Association in formulating its policies. It tends to promote faculty participa­ tion by encouraging all staff members to submit suggestions to the Council, which in turn may place such items on the agenda of regular faculty meet­ ings.

THE NORTHEASTERN was put to bed as scheduled during the school year, sometimes in spite of the feeling from the editor, staff and sponsor that "we'd never make it."

One of the highlights of THE NORTHEASTERN for the first se­ Nf^t1| mester was the special Homecoming edition which included six pages. This paper was sent to the alumni and various high schools over the state, the same as the regular editions.

The paper look on a new look second semester when for the first time in its history it started carry­ ing commercial advertising. We joined the ranks of other papers using national and local ads.

The editorial staff was under the direction of Sally Ford, a junior from Tahlequah and Gene Lawley, also a junior from Cookson. Irene Mor­ gan, director of public relations, served as faculty advisor.

Miss Morgan also taught the journalism classes from which most of the staff assignments were made.

In the print shop Jack White along with his assistants patiently worked hand in hand with the staff. T H E

SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF NORTHEASTERN Far and wide over this fair land of ours, the Sons and Daughters of Northeastern are builded into its citizenry—a part and parcel of this Great American Republic. In the professions—Doctors, Lawyers, Teach­ ers—in the fields of Commerce and Industry and the Arts, all—they have found their place. Northeastern has every reason to be proud of the young men and women who have passed through its portals. And it is our conviction that they, too, are proud of Northeastern and its es­ tablished high place in the field of Education and Character Building. Long may it live!
