REUEL LEMMONS
This week wo nro presenting a
pair of "Sooners." Tho gentlomnn
to my right Is Mr. Iteucl Lemmons
and tho one on tho left is Mr. Loglio
Trent. Reuel Is from T pton Okla-
homa whllo Lcsljc calls Okcmah
his home town.
Llko many other A C. C. stu-
dents Itcucl's major la Bible. After
ho receives his degrco here in June
ho plans to enter Bnylor University
nnd begin working on his M. A. de-
gree. Ho says A. & C. Is n "grand
place" and that he's enjoyed the
yenrs ho's spent here. Of nil tho
'professors on the campus he pre-
fers Brother Witt erstwhile chem-
istry "prof."
It seems that school work just
never takes up all of his time so
he has tried to find a few things
to fill Ida spare moments. Ho
works on both the publicat'ons
that is tho three publications the
Optimist the Prickly Pear and tho
Plckwlckcr. -He is business mana-
ger of tho magnzinc. Ho is active
In tho Mission Study groups and
tho Evangelistic Forum. Then he
also Ukcs part in the speaking
events having mado tho second
team of tho college debate squad.
Ho Is president of tho Press Club
and a member o ho Gavel "A"
Club and Soonu .J. '
Rcucl's most enjoyable form of
amuse.nent h fishing (we'd like to
know If ho's a good boxcr ho's
married you know). It looks us if
he m'ght get in some of. that fish-
ing of which ho is so fond from
the size of somo of tho puddles wo
see around the campus this week.

HYPNOTISM
Our weekly unconfirmed report:
"Can you shadow box 7" asked u
Northwestern University professor
of a student whom he had hypno-
tized. "Sure'' replied tho suppos-
edly sleeping student walloping the
faculty member on tho jaw. The
f-professor Is still trying to figuro
tout hWgeodahypnotlst ho Is
Your reading habits can
be improved through
synchropliscope training
bragging about his good fortune.
On tho other hnnd If ho had said
to contrary well let'a.just not talk
about that) '
LESLIE TREAT
And now for Mr. Treat. Lesl'e
la majoring In business administra
tion go It is natural that Mr. Lnw-
renco Smith would bo his "guldfng
star." He too thinks A. C. C. is
fino nnd evidences Indicate ho docj
for this Is tho fourth (or Is It the
flfth7)'ycar he has enrolled hero.
Leslie finds his interests n the
field of music. Ho plnys in tho
band If you can call It "playing"
and enjoys listening to band mu-
sic. He is a member of tho Mel-
pomenenn Players Club tho Sooner
and Span'sh Clubs nnd Is in tho
A Capelln Chorus.
Perhaps you're all wondering
why such a chnrmlng and talented
young man Is not married and
hero is his own statement: "I'd
hato to mnko thousands of girls un-
happy to please one."
So donr readers my sympathy
goes out to other poor girls like
myself who arc disillus'oned In
such a manner. There Is some hope
however for he's very fond of choc
olate cake and maybo one of us
can succeed In ensnaring Mr. Treat
through a mastery of the nrt of
baking: "They all fall eventually"
says his famous cousin Mr. J.
