LEIIERTO THE LDIIOR
You, who have seen our team play and especially
those of you who have worn cleats, who have moved from
boyhood to manhood by a bone-rattling block or tackle,
who have had your hearts broken when the last ounce of
energy was insufficient for a desired victory, or you who
have felt a stadium-full of elation after a well earned victory
can fully understand the sincere gratitude and appreciation
which I have for “Our Football Players.”

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY
By Bill Magin
There comes a time when all seems lost.
And people have turned against you in every way—
Well, fear not my youthful one.
Tomorrow is another day.
When day is dark and the weather is wet.
And you and your loved one have gone astray—•
Raise your head and look to the sky.
For tomorrow dawns the new day.
When things are askew and nothing goes right,
"Life isn't worth living”, you say—
Just sit down and think it over,
For tomorrow is another day.
When work piles up, and tension mounts.
And you don’t know whether to leave or stay—
Just lay down your head, and go to sleep,
And awake tomorrow with the new day.
Then at long last, things are just fine.
And you feel everything going your way—
Just watch your step o youthful one.
Tomorrow is another day.

Inexperienced, small in number and thoroughly
beaten in early contests by nationally ranked Tyler, Ca-
meron and Northeastern, these young men did not quit.
They worked hard, long and sacrificed much in gaining a
4-5 win. loss record.

An all school talent show spon-
sored by the League of Young
Democrats, was held Nov. 27 at
the college auditorium.
Master of ceremonies for the
evening was Carl Logan, fresh-

Soloists Listed
Those entertaining with vocal
solo’s were: Naomi McCollough,
sophomore from Keota; Loretta
Fisher, freshman from Stigler;
“Peace on earth and good will toward men" is a
phrase that is very misused in this day. Yet it is very sym+
bolic of the feeling that one has during the month of Dec-
ember. For it is during this month that we celebrate the
birth of Christ our Saviour. It is also during this month
that there will be a lot of traveling. The roads will be
crowded with drivers trying to get home in time to spend
Christmas with their families. Everyone is rushing here
and there shopping, and exchanging greetings, and genera
ally many are in a complete daze.
There will be a lot of accidents this Christmas, and
a lot of people will never spend another Christmas on earth.
There will be those who are lucky and those who are un-
lucky. Maybe you should thank the lord that your life has
not been taken by some reckless or careless driver. While
' u"—you are giving thanks, throw in a little special thanks for
other people who will not be killed, or injured. Pray fori D
the families of those who were unfortunate, and pray for D V I PAH HP
the world, that we may some day have everlasting peace. / 3

Faults Numerous
There are inany faults in this
area, also, as a result of the up-
lifting. One which is familiar to
the local inhabitants is the Choc-
taw fault line. It extends from an
area near Atoka on into Arkan-
sas. Other faults lying south of the
Choctaw fault are Ti Valley
fault, Winding Stair fault. Jack
Fork Mt. Fault, and the Octabia
Fault.
A fault is a fracture in the crust
of the earth along which there
has been a dislocation parallel to
the fractured surface.
Fossils Exposed
Fossils of shelled sea creatures
that existed during the Cambrian
and Devonian periods can be
found exposed in the sedimenta-
tion of limestone near the college
campus.
This geologic laboratory is in
use frequently by state geologists,
geology students from other col-
leges, as well as I. C. Gunning's
Geology class. The class has made
several field trips into the area
and is planning a trip into the
potato hills in the near future.

Speaking for the staff anti personnel of the "Moun-

New Year.

Many persons are unaware that
we are located in the heart of
Oklahoma's geologic laboratory
here at Eastern A&M.
The geologic maps of Oklaho-
ma show’ that south of Wilburton
to the Broken Bow area are many
exposed structures of the past his-
tory of the earth, particularly the
Kiamichi and the Potato Hills
This area serves as an "open
book” to the geologist
Structures Exposed
Some of the structures arc so
exposed that they can be studied
and traced back to about 280 mil-
lion years ago, during the Paleo-
zoic era. It was during this era
that the seas spread over land and
withdrew many times.
The area south of Wilburton is
often referred to as the Ouachita
Basin. This basin served as a
trough and held water when the
seas receded. Finally, during the
latter part of the Paleozoic Era,
which was the Carboniferous
Period, there was a great upheave!
in the area. This left on the sur-
face all the sediments that had
been laid down in the trough. The
results of the uplifting we now
know as the Kiamichi Mountains

student from Oklahoma City, last
month took the officers qualifying
test at Tinker Field in Oklahoma
City and now is qualified for air 1
Cadet training.
Thompson said the test was
very exacting and that he was
glad it was over. He also said that
he was given a very thorough
physical which is required in or-
der for men to enter cadet train-
ing.
Around February Thompson
said he would start his preflight
training at Lackland Air Field.
San Antonio, Texas.
