He Liked WorkA willingness to work, which caused a

tall, lanky highschool boy to strain his backlifting pianos and barrels of vinegar, hasearned the office of vice president of theCarter Oil Company for Forrest M. Dar-rough, '21ba, '23Law .

A member of the Carter board of direc-tors since 1944, Darrow was elected to thenew position early in January . In additionto the executive responsibilities of his newoffice, he will continue in his present capa-city as general counsel of the company andas head of its legal department .

The January, 1951, issue of The Link,Carter Oil publication, summed up Dar-rough's career :"Born in Wyandotte, Indian Territory,

in 1898, he attended public schools at Vin-ita and Hugo, enjoying the pleasant lifeof a typical American boy in a small Okla-homa town in the early 1900's .

"It was a busy boyhood, too, as Darroughexplains it ." `I was the youngest in a family of three

brothers and one sister, and my older broth-ers quickly shifted all the chores aroundthe place to me.' The chores included milk-ing a cow and caring for horses which hisfather used in his real estate and bankingbusiness .

"Darrough's losing bout with the vine-gar barrels came during a summer vacationfrom Hugo Highschool . He obtained a job

APRIL, 1951

FORREST M. DARROUGH. . . Carter Oil Veep

Sooner Portraitsas a freight handler on the Frisco railroaddocks. Hugo was a division point and therewas much loading and unloading of heavyfreight throughout the day and far into thenight. After four or five days of heavingon pianos and heavy barrels . . . he bentover at home one night only to discoverthat he couldn't straighten up . His parentsput an end to his youthful career ."Two summers on a wheat ranch in

Western Oklahoma and another summermixing concrete on a construction job atOkmulgee helped him battle his way to theOklahoma highschool tennis champion-ship ."At the University he teamed with

Claude Monnet, '20ba, '22Law, to win ten-nis honors throughout the Missouri Valleyand Big Ten conferences . It was a continu-ation of a tennis dynasty established earlierat O.U . by their older brothers, Paul G.Darrough '13ba, '15Law, and Eugene O.Monnet, '16ba, '20Law .

"Following graduation Darrough be-gan the practice of law at Purcell. In IndianTerritory days his father, W. H . Darrough,had been appointed a U. S. Marshal byTeddy Roosevelt, so it was only naturalthat the young lawyer should run on theRepublican ticket when he decided to seekpublic office as county attorney .

"Republicans, however, are conspicuousby their scarcity in McClain County, andthe young attorney, in his only politicalcampaign, was soundly defeated by hisDemocratic opponent .

"After a year and a half at Purcell, Dar-rough spent six years with a law firm atHoldenville and then joined the Carter le-gal department where he has worked thelast 20 years."A private in the first World War, he is

a member of the Tulsa County, the Okla-homa, and American Bar Associations. Heis a member of Phi Delta Phi, Phi BetaKappa and Sigma Nu fraternities ."During his residence in Tulsa he has

been active in church and communitywork . He is now chairman of the officialboard of the Boston Avenue MethodistChurch and has served as president of theTulsa Y.M.C.A . He recently directed acampaign which raised a million dollarstoward a new "Y" building in Tulsa.

"Darrough married Ruth Cordell atHoldenville in 1928 and they have threechildren, two boys and a girl .

"Still as warm and friendly as when he

wrestled vinegar barrels on the freight

docks at Hugo, Carter's new vice president

has an uncanny memory for recalling dates

and an unlimited capacity for hard work."

He Wears WellL. W. Kibler, '16ba, '17ma, recently

quipped: "1'm not old, but I have a lot of

miles on myself ."

He was referring to the fact that his jobs

during the last 25 years have required a

lot of travel . Kibler estimates that his po-

sitions have caused him to cover 500,000miles in the quarter century.

Now lay director of Medical Educationfor the Tennessee State Medical Associa-tion, Kibler graduated in 1912 from Camp-bell College Academy at Holton, Kansas .Then he attended Campbell College atHolton and Kansas City University fortwo years before coming to O.U . where hereceived the B.A. degree in 1916 and anM.A . degree in 1917 .

At the University he was a member ofKappa Delta Pi, Phi Mu Alpha, the Web-ster Literary Society and participated inY.M.C .A . activities in addition to playingtrumpet in the University band . During hisstudent years he was a salesman for theKeystone View Company and worked inthe registrar's office . But outside activities

Objections Over the Union

20 Years Ago

Senate investigations at the University

are not recent innovations . Normanproperty owners objecting to the operationof the Oklahoma Memorial Union, Unionofficers and University officials were heardby the state senate investigating committeeto see whether the Union enterprise wasconducted according to state laws . The lo-cal property owners were limited almostwholly to owners of shops facing the cam-pus. At a testimony before the investigat-ing committee, it was stated by one indi-divual that he had seen students gamblingin the pool and bowling alley room of thebuilding . He gave as a typical example astudent saying "I'll bet you a dime I putthe nine ball in the side pocket ." An Okla-homa City reporter remarked soon after-"Think of the depth of depravity to whichthe young men who infest the place havefallen when one of them has been heardto say, `I'll bet you a dime I can put the nineball in the side satchel .' " President Bizzellstated that he had investigated charges ofgambling at the Union and was convincedthat there was no gambling practiced there.He stated further that he had been doubt-ful of the advisability of establishing a poolhall at the building, but "since there arepool halls in Norman, where the studentscould go, I decided that it would be best tohave one run under the proper super-vision ."Bonner Hooks, '33, Norman, helped to

solve the unemployment problem tempo-rarily for 20 University students . Equip-ping the boys with brushes and paint cans,Hooks arranged to paint the house num-bers on the curbing. Each number sopainted cost the householder 25¢, but it wasdecided it would be worth more to themessenger boy delivering a message in thedark .
