(Continued from First Page)
in an artistic and systematic style
Lloyd is a senior in the Arts and
Sciences department and always has
something good to say when he ap-
pears before an audience The last
on the program was Jackman Gill
whose oration was “The Inspiration
of a Cause” This is Jackman’s first
year in the University and he shows
ability that will no doubt be heard of
by the students in the future
On the whole it wa a most suc-
cessful and interesting contest Most
of the Contestants had been spending
a great deal of time in preparing for
it and those who attended were well
paid for their time
On account of other events given
by the students and faculty of the
University on the same night there
was not as large a crowd present as
was expected but every one was an
interested listener
The judges were Judge Eagleton
Mr Edwards of Norman and Profs
Hadsell Kirkwood and Gittinger
Their ranking of the contestants were
as follows:
First Streeter Speakman of Wells-
ton Second Fred Hansen
Third Jackman Gill of McAlestcr
Fourth Lloyd Maxwell of Sparks
Fifth C C Williams of Norman
Sixth Charles Lee Smith of Kono-

Ralph Billingslea is Dead
Again the Maker of the Universe
has called one of our former students
from this world in the prime of life
Ralph Billingslea of Wellston died at
Phoenix Arizona on March 30th His
body will be brought to his home for
the burial which will take place in
Wellston today or tomorrow
Ralph was a student at the Univer-
sity in 1909-10 and ’10-’ll completing
two years in law While here he was
a good student and a congenial cla s
mate He was quiet in his nature al-
ways prefering to remain in the back-
ground but was never backward
when anything needed to be done
There was not a man in the law
school during the two years that lie
attended that was more popular than
he Always ready to do his part whei
called upon and never pushing himself
forward he soon won the profound
love and respect of all that came in
contact with him It is needless to
say that his many friends here are
deeply grieved at the news of his
early death and extend sympathy to
his family
Ralph Billingslea was born in
Kansas twenty years ago His fam-
ily moved to Wellston Oklahoma in
his real early life and has there lived
ever since During the latter days of
last school year his health began to
fail and last summer he was sent to
Arizona with the hope that he would
recover but he only seemed to grow
worst until he died last Friday His
brother Don was a law student here
