Dedication
Dr. Glen D. Johnson and
Dr. Jesse Snowden
This book is dedicated to Dr. Glen D. Johnson and Dr. Jesse
Snowden for their contributions to Southeastern Oklahoma State
University. While serving his 9 1/2-year term as president, Johnson
made a big impact on Southeastern's growth. He helped get funding
for the new Student Union and paved the way for other building
projects on campus. After Johnson's departure, Snowden was
chosen as the interim president. He is continuing Johnson's work
and has served the university well in this transition period. The
university has benefited greatly because of these two men.

. r would like to say a special thanks to the university for allowing us to have a
yearbook and to everyone who helped make this yearlJook possible, especially
Dan Hoke, Dan Moore and rey Reed. It was quite a daunting task to produce t
first hardbound yearbook in five years, but our staff members, photographers a
contributors made this yearbook a reality.
I also would like to say a huge thanks to Ray Gaskin, newspaper and yearboo
adviser, and Karen Maple, managing edi!_o r of The Southeastern. When things g
tough and photos seemed sparse, they found countless CDs and files,
downloaded the photos, designed pages and stayed with me until the yearbook
was completely finished.
I also want to thank my sister Robyn, a December graduate, for coming up he
on a Saturday (when she could have slept in) and helping me for nearly 10 hours.
It was so thoughtful of her to give of her time and assist me in my efforts.
I would also like to thaRk all the organizations and individuals that sent me
photos. Without them, we wouldn't have had a very lively yearbook.
Thank you again to everyone, including faculty and staff, for making this
yearbook possible. I hope this yearbook will remind you of all the changes our
university has gone through over the past couple years and all the changes we
could see in the future.
