[Pages:5]The Captain

and the Queens

Three lovely coeds and a courtly Navy captain snapped by campus photographer

Roy E. Heffner in 1944 appeared in the

December issue of the Sooner for that month's identity guessing game . They came perilously close to remaining unidentificd for all time .

The first clue came from Dorothy Hemphill Hamilton, '46, Bartlesville . She tagged a name on the dark-haired lass in

the center, Frances Mayes, '40bs, and the

course ahead seemed plain-find Frances Mayes and ask with whom she was pictured on that long-ago day.

It was much easier said than done, but after numerous talks with former sorority sisters (Delta Delta Delta), Frances was indeed traced to Tulsa and the riddle of the

coeds' identities solved . On the left in

(lark glasses is Althea (Thea) Ortman, '40bfa, and on the right Mary Martha Lo-

gatu, '43-'45. The coeds were attending a track meet. Earlier in the day Mary Martha had been named Track Queen. Thea

and Frances were serving as her attendants .

Mary Martha is now Mrs. Emery Swanson of Wichita Falls, Texas. Hailing originally from Hominy, she was a Delta Gamma and majored in education. Her hus-

band, a member of Pi Kappa Alpha, received his 13S in petroleum engineering in 1943 . They have four children, Sarah

Frances, 14 ; Ford, 11 ; Logan, 9, and Mary

Grace, 4 .

Frances is now Mrs. Robert L. Dow of Tulsa . She majored in business administration. Her husband is a Montana Univer-

sity graduate . The Dows have three chil-

dren, Bob Jr ., 5, and twins Marianne and Melinda, 3 .

Thca is now Mrs. Charles M. Heard of Lakewood, Colorado . A Chi Omega, she served her sorority as social chairman and

majored in fine arts . Heard, a track and football athlete, was an Acacia . He received his RS in petroleum engineering in 1947 .

It remained to reader J . A . Taylor, '45bs, '51nas, exploration manager for Magnolia Petroleum Co . in Oklahoma City, to supply the name of Capt . J. F. Donelson, di-

rector of the Navy V-12 program at O.U .

during the war . The program was the wartime version of the NROTC. Captain Donelson, Annapolis 1910, was the first nativeborn Oklahoman to graduate from the
