PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION

NORTHEASTERN STATE COLLEGE TAHLEQUAH, OKLAHOMA I

The Cherokee Male Seminary, first institution of higher learning west of the Mississippi, was established in 1846 at a cost of $40,000. FOREWORD Nestled serenely in the foothills of the O/.arks, in the midst of one of the most scenic playgrounds of America, with rock-rihbed cliffs and sparkling springs, is Tahlequah, home of the Cherokee Indians, after their removal from the East, and capital of the Five Civilized Tribes. I lere in this center of Cherokee culture was founded the first institu tion of higher learning west of the Mississippi River-—the beginning ol the old Cherokee Seminaries and what is now our alma mater—North eastern State College.

This issue of TSA-LA-GI attempts to give, in part, the history of the Cherokee people from the time of their arrival in Oklahoma up to the present time, by the use of historical markers and Indian drawings and designs, as well as the adjustment of that Cherokee culture to modern education as it is typified by life on the campus of Northeastern State College today. V27 J

The ruins of the Cherokee Male Seminary are the result of a fire on March 20, 1910. DEDICATION In this hour of darkness, as war clouds shatter into temporary obliv

ion our hopes, our ambitions, our dreams, the ideal of education fos

tered by our forefathers shines as a beacon through the troubled

heavens. Education—often thwarted, never defeated, the bulwark of

all genuine progress—must not be belittled during these times of un

certainty. We must realize that our salvation for the future lies in our

ability to maintain a steady course toward those goals of world brother

hood and just international economics and politics which the beacon of

education signals for the world.

Thus to education, the very essence of civilization, we dedicate this

book, lest we lose that for which we struggle.

CAMPUS SCENE

Located in the region of the Ozarks, the campus of Northeastern is a scene of natural beauty which has gained the reputation of being "the most beautiful campus in Oklahoma". INDUSTRIAL ARTS

It is here that the builders and industrial leaders of the future receive their training. Lonely as sentinels the columns of the Old Male Seminary stand among encroaching trees—all that remains of the stately school af a proud race since the fire of 1912— the Cherokee National Male Seminary. ADMINISTRATION I Higher Patriotism for the New Day

"And when the bugles sounded war They put their games away."

So Winifred M. Letts wrote of Oxford men in 1914 who went abroad to die. Recently the red waste of war has spread again like a forest conflagration across the world where national hatreds, political strifes, and economic injustices had made outbroken war inevitable; college men by the thousands have put not only their games away, but their personal hopes and ambitions to serve the costly needs of a country at war. The wheel has gone full circle. First, the Italians pitched against the Ethiopians, then the Japanese against the Chinese; again, Europeans are hurled against Europeans; now Orientals against Occidentals and confusion has wrought his masterpiece. Recently since Pearl Harbor, two men of color, Chiang Kai-Shek and Mahatma Gandhi, have met in Calcutta and discussed together concerning the future of the colored races in Asia, and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, at least, came out of that five-hour conference to advise Great Britain! The white man's monopoly of the world's mastery is at an end. The world has changed before our eyes. We are in the costliest conflict perhaps the world has seen. Vast as is the cost in money, vaster is the human agony. Not long ago fifty-six orphaned children were brought to Tahlequah and housed in a new modern home in one of the pleasantest settings imagin able, under great over-arching elms and oaks, on a rolling two hundred acre area of good Oklahoma soil, punctuated by ever-flowing springs. Those children are being cared for as if thev were something precious—and they are. On far flung Eastern fronts millions of fierce men—many brave men—are dying for a dream of a better world for each of them, their loved ones, and their nations. They hope to win that dream by preeminence in mili tarism. But militarism only breeds more hate, more greed, more nationalistic blindness, despair, darkness. While American men and boys are seeking to put an end to ruthless militarism, try ing to make the world a safe place for good people, our minds and hearts at home need to be enlarged to forget our selfishness, our comfort. War is the hardest school in which the race ever enrolls. Its lessons are written in "blood, sweat, and tears." It is already evi dent that for all of us, for the duration and for multiplied years to come, the world is go ing to be a harder world in which to live. The American boys in Northern Ireland are becoming known as builders. College students particularly must make valid their claim of higher usefulness in these days. They, by self-imposed disciplines, must not only observe the creed of "live and let live" but help others to live; they must be builders. Gone with the war is our over-whelming self- confidence, the myth of white superiority, much of our American luxury, easy jobs, pre ferred positions, and easy sentimentality. In our own beloved United States, which is a hearthstone to Germans, Chinese, Italians, Lithuanians, Japanese, Negroes, Protestants, Jews, and Catholics, we must set ourselves with increased impetus to a new and higher patriotism of creating a world that friendship would build.

GOVERNOR LEON C. PHILLIPS

Leon C. Phillips is a man with the understanding friendliness of the Irish and the shrewd courage of the Dutch. Few states can boast a leader so person ally fitted to the task of guiding their commonwealth safely through the crises of this era, and a man so sincere in his convictions that he is willing to sacrifice even a political career in order to carry out his policies of economy and clean govern ment.

Phillips grew up a red-haired farm boy in Custer County, Oklahoma. After several years of preparation for the Christian ministry, he decided to become a lawyer and entered the University of Oklahoma Law School.

As a student he was outstanding. After his graduation, he opened offices at Okemah, Oklahoma, where he practiced law until January 9, 1939, when he became the eleventh governor of the State of Oklahoma.

PRESIDENT JOHN VAUGHAN

One of Oklahoma's outstanding educational leaders, John Vaughan was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, November 29, 1885. He received his A.B. degree from the Univer sity of Oklahoma in 1923, and his A.M. degree from the same University in 1927. He has been a member of the Oklahoma State Senate, dean and registrar of South eastern State Teacher's College, executive secretary of the Oklahoma Educational Survey, acting president of Southeastern State Teacher's College, Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and a member of the State Board of Education. President Vaughan has proved himself an able leader for the duties which he assumed in 1936 when he succeeded M. P. Hammond as president of Northeastern State College. He has truly typified the helmsman at the wheel of a ship in a storm. Through years of hardship and years of plenty, even as war has reared its ugly head to call many of our stu dents to service for their country, President Vaughan has shown his true character by re maining steady at the helm of our ship of education. Through his influence and leadership in the past, our school has continued to rise among the state colleges in Oklahoma, while at the same time establishing an enviable rec ord of economy. We feel that with John Vaughan at our head, we shall continue to rise in public esteem and national ranking.

(nving up his own class room for the staff of the TSA-LA-GI exemplifies the interest in students and their projects demonstrated by Dean L. P. Woods, beloved member of our faculty. Fun loving, a fine teacher, an honest friend, and a true Northeastern supporter, Mr. Woods, Dean of Men, has a firm claim on a niche in the hearts of the students to whom he has dedicated his life in aiding them to get a better start at the gate to life's high way. Dean Woods received his A.B. and A.M. from the University of Arkansas in mathe matics, after which he did graduate study at the Universities of Chicago and Missouri.

Coming to Northeastern from Iowa in 1940, Miss Bertha E. Supplee, Dean of Women has become an integral part of the faculty and is universally liked. Scorning any part of a program which removed her from daily contacts with the students, Dean Supplee has energetically put forth all efforts toward furthering campus organizations and good will. As literary critic for the TSA-LA-GI, she has been cooperative and efficient. Miss Supplee received her A.B. degree from Fletcher College and the University of Iowa, her A.M. in English language and literature at Columbia University and has studied in the graduate schools of University of Iowa and Boston University.

As Dean of the College and Registrar of Northeastern, Dean R. K. Mcintosh proves himself to be the person to fill a man-sized job which he has fulfilled to the full satisfaction of all concerned. No truer friend of all students or more formidable foe of rule violators can be found among our administrative officials. Dean Mcintosh received his A. B. and A. M. in social science at the University of Oklahoma.

TOM WILLIAMS KENNETH CULVER TREVA DAVIDSON President Vice-President Secretary

The Student Council is the governing body of Northeastern chosen to carry out the objectives stated in the preamble of the Constitution of the Student Association: "We, the Associated Students of Northeastern State College, in order to govern ourselves more wisely, to develop the profes sional spirit in education, to foster high ideals of conduct, to establish wor thy traditions for those who come after us, and to further unity and cooper ation among the students of our college, do hereby establish and ordain this constitution."

Two representatives—a boy and a girl from each college class are elected to fill the membership of the Council at the beginning of the school year.

Page 28 STUDENT COUNCIL f '. ?• The Council's executive officers, president, vice-president, and secretary are elected by popular vote at the annual April election for the ensuing year. Mr. Thomas Williams was president during 1941-42, Kenneth Culver, vice- president, Treva Davidson, secretary.

Cooperating with the faculty advisors, Miss Bertha E. Supplee, dean of ?< women, and Mr. L. P. Woods, dean of men, the Student Council sponsors recreational activities such as dancing, play night, skating, and numerous sig nificant student programs. It has complete charge of the homecoming activities, sponsors intra-mural sports, promotes school spirit, and publishes the student handbook.

Page 29 TSA-LA-GI STAFF

The 1942 TSA-LA-GI is dedicated to the Ideal of Education. The editor has sought to delineate in this book, asthematic material of the history of the Cher okee nation and its relation to Northeastern State Col lege from time of its origin in the old Cherokee semi naries to the present time. Edited at an expense of approximately $2500, this book represents the work not of one or two individuals but of a score or more. The editor wishes that special acknowledgment should be made to the able assistance and close cooperation received from the business man ager, Shelton Peebles; managing editor, Wanda Mar tin; our literary critic. Miss Bertha E. Supplee; and to Mr. R. C. Walker, president of Southwestern Engrav ing Company, without whose expert advice and personal supervision this book could never have measured up to the yearbook standard that it has attained. BILL BRIGHT Editor A study of former TSA-LA-GI publications has indicated that this book offers many improvements over any other edition. Among these improvements are the addition of composition leather- padded backs, a striking color scheme, a Who's Who section, bleed pages in opening section in duo-tone color on pebbled paper, the cartoon section, and various other additions and changes of minor importance, all of which have added considerably to the attractiveness of the book, with, of course, a relative increase in cost.

It is only after intensified effort by the staff that the largest number of book sales in the history of the institution was made, thus raising the funds necessary to the beginning of publication of this book. The staff won the first prize of $10.00 at the annual Stunt Nite in which almost all the college organizations partici pated. The harmony of the staff and cooperation and support of the student body was indicated by the success of the "Northeastern Lollies" sponsored by Tsa-La-Gi and directed by D. S. Gishwiller and J. D. McDonald. This production, acclaimed by many as the outstanding student entertainment in years, was also one of the greatest financial successes, since it broke all previous records as to the number in attendance at anv paid ' SHELTON PEEBLES Student entertainment.

As this is the first yearbook that Northeastern has had in six years, it is only natural

that we should have to blaze many new trails. The 1942 TSA-LA-GI is by no means per fect. However, we have tried to present a cross-section representative of every phase of college life at Northeastrn. It is the desire of the editor that this book will help to retain many pleasant memories of your college life and that it be a publication worthy of repre senting NORTHEASTERN STATE COLLEGE.

Sigma Tau Gamma, national social fraternity, was founded at Central Missouri State Teachers' College, Warrensburg, Missouri, June 28, 1920, by seventeen men who desired to perpetuate their student friendship in an organization dedicated to true brother hood. Zeta chapter traces its origin to an organization called the Senate which was active at Northeastern from 1909 to 1923, when it was suggested that the fraternity affiliate with the national organization of Sigma Tau Gamma. This union was accomplished in 1924. Today the fraternity has expanded to include 25 chapters located in colleges similar to Northeastern. The national office governing these chapters, is located at Buffalo, New York.

Sigma Tau is by nature both social and professional: social in the sense that it pro vides social experiences essential to the balanced growth of the individual, professional in its activities from an educational point of view. Sigma Tau chapters select their mem bers from men who are well-rounded in their interests, activities, and personalities, and who are at the same time seriously determined to make the most of their chosen pro fession. No organization can claim distinction for itself solely because of the achievements of its members. Zeta chapter is, however, justly proud of the records made by members this year in the various activities on the campus. J. D. McDonald, president, is also pres ident of Kappa Kappa Psi, a member of Who's Who, drum major of the Northeastern Band, and director of the dance orchestra.
