New puzzles, games andLeap Frog brand learningdevices for children gradesPre-K thru 3rd have beenmoved to the children’sarea and three new shelvesadded to the juvenile area.

A yearlong project of re-cataloging has been com-pleted in the juvenile non-fiction.

The Dewey DecimalSystem is out and Com-mon Sense Categories has

been implemented makingit easier for our younger pa-trons to find what they arelooking for.

All of the large printbooks have been integratedinto the collection therebyincreasing their circulation.

Adult DVDs and audiobooks have been moved tothe shelves behind the com-puter desks. The DVDshave been categorized intogenres in an effort to helppatrons find the movie theyare looking for.

Freshmanat OU

By Sydney Schwichtenberg

Analyzing 3 chairs across the room

(Continues on Page 5)

My life-force for an en-tire month were 16 OZ cupsof frappes from the on-cam-pus Starbucks.

I mournfully sipped onthe countless cups as I re-viewed for my finals inOU’s library, the BizzelMemorial Library.

Distantly, I think of myhometown’s Wonder CityCoffee, and how theywould never commit theultimate sin of putting hotespresso in cold drinks.

I spend the majority ofmy time outside of mydorm. Once I leave myroom, I don’t come backuntil night.

In the mornings, fullyaware of this, I pack all ofmy chargers and books andelectronics, and I hide in thelibrary.

The library is a monsterof a building. There arerooms I never enter, like theGreat Reading Room,where people glare if you

breathe too heavily or typetoo loudly. In the basement,a Google-esque row ofchairs are lined up; walls di-vide them and give studentsprivacy, a desk, and even afoot-stool.

On each level, glassfloors from the originalwing host countless shelvesof library books.

One night, my friendEmily and I spent hoursfinding old books.

Some were wrapped inparcels of thick paper andtied by ribbon untouchedfor half a century.

We would open thebooks, and in our handsthey would crackle and thepages would break off ofthe spine without warning.

Most days, I take the

stairs and I sit on one of thefour giant red and orangechairs on the bottom level.I’ve slept, eaten, laughed,cried, and written countlessessays and stories inits too-soft pillow.

I sit here becauseit’s the best seat inthe house. Down thehall, a clean bath-room with a powderroom exists.Through an archival hall ofbooks, the library’s conve-nient store sets just beyondif one is brave enough towalk through tiny halls andtight fits.

Sometimes, I imagine

what most people must seeas they pass me. I think thisbecause I stare at the oth-ers who sit across from mein the three other empty

chairs.Once, I sat in the

company of threegirls sleeping, un-aware of the mov-ing world aroundthem.

They didn’t stireven when I spilled mydrink over the coffee table.I think they’re engineers.

I assign majors to mostof the people I sit acrossfrom.

(Continued from Page 4)The man who sits across

from me wearing anAlaska-state beanie is anEnglish major.

He’s probably in Okla-homa because of family; hismother moved here maybe,and he followed. He’sworking on an essay of thebook he keeps highlightingand huffing about.

The girl who stood upfrom across me moved tothe other side of the roomto a desk because I type tooloudly. Probably. She can’tstand noise, but the GreatReading Room is too silentfor her. A nameless lobby

most people walk by shouldprovide enough naturalsound for her.

A stranger pulls me outof my frantic typing as I curlup in the chair like a bed.His accent is thick from acountry I’ve never seen,and he’s handsome.

Spoiler, most people atOU are uncommonly at-tractive, or at least, it feelsthat way when they allcompile together and be-come one giant mob ofvery-good-looking-people.

He asks me where I gotmy hat. I tell him the book-store and quickly go backto my typing, answering all

of his questions politely.Only after ten minutes ofquestions and he had givenup on my future as aconversationlist, do I real-ize he was attempting to hiton me.

My favorite times arewhen Baley, my roommateand best friend, sits in theseat across from me. Baleymakes a home out of herchair. She sets her laptop,latte, supplies, and phoneon the coffee table like she’ssetting a table. She doesn’tlet me talk to her; that’s theone condition we have. I’lldistract both of us if she letsme talk about the idleness

of my day.I know Baley’s major,

what she’s working on, andher coffee order. Because,coffee orders matter. Baleysips on a hot chai latte af-ter she realizes she hatesmost espresso.

I drink my own mochafrappe, the only thing I canactually stomach fromStarbucks, and continue onwhatever assignment I ig-nore when I stare at strang-ers. I speak, and every timeI do, Baley glares at mefrom over her laptopscreen.

I wonder if people see awriter in my chair.

Coffee bag challenge. . .

Roxann Yates makesgenealogy search discovery

Roxann Yates has been doing research on her great-grandmother’s Younger side of the family, and recentlyfound a surprise. Or two.

It seems that her 6th great-uncle’s son, Joel OwsleyCheek, a famous coffee man, is of interest because sheworks in a coffee shop owned by her sister, Kelly Palmeron Locust Grove’s Main Street. Rather surprising.

Cheek developed his recipe for a blend of premiumbeans in 1892 and it led to his inventing the MaxwellHouse Coffee brand. The coffee was first introduced ata Maxwell Hotel, and the hotel gave permission for Cheekto produce his coffee under its name. The surprise goeson.

Allegedly, the phrase “good to the last drop” wascoined by President Theodore Roosevelt after he sippedthe coffee at the hotel.

So it seems that Palmer’s decision to open a coffeeshop must be tied to her great-uncle’s son’s decision tomake coffee and call it Maxwell House and to the factthat her father drank Maxwell House Coffee throughoutall of her growing up years. Couldn’t be anything else,could it?


Abandoned buildings become artThe photos were first

published on Facebook, andthey were beautiful. Thesubject matter is abandonedbuildings, unhinged doors,and crumbling walls. Thebeauty is shown through theeyes of photographer BeccaAdams, and her art trans-forms what might be seenone way into another. Beau-tiful.

“It all started the night ofthe town Christmas pa-rade,” Adams recalls. “I wasmeeting up with my familyto eat at DJ’s, and as Ipassed the Phillips Loungedoor, I just thought howbeautiful its colors and let-tering were.”

That first picture was thestart of it all, but the ideafor the photos began earlier.

“I had been meaning toget pictures of the old pawnshop (on Broadway), andthe Sam’s Corner bar foryears, Adams said. “It allstemmed from there.”

She added that she hadbeen surprised at theamount of interest that has

been shown since sheposted the pictures online.She said she enjoyed “hear-ing all the stories and whatthose buildings meant toothers.”

Adams is a purist as faras the photos are con-cerned. “I don’t edit thepics too much because Iwant their present state toshine through. I justwanted them to look brightand bold.”

Asked about her plansfor the photos since inter-est has been so high,Adams said she planned tomake a calendar for 2019.But it won’t just be thephotos alone. She plans toinclude facts and informa-tion about the town.

“I’ve taken 12 pictures,so the suggestion from afriend to make a calendarseemed like a sign,” shesaid.

She also added that shewas kicking around an-other idea for their use.

Adams is not resting onher laurels though. She

plans a second series of pic-tures of thriving businesses,and a third of town land-marks.

Becca, 35, graduatedfrom Locust Grove HighSchool in 2000 and re-ceived a degree fromNortheastern State Univer-sity in Health and Kinesiol-ogy.

“Before I did anythingwith my degree, I startedmy family,” she said.

Becca is married to LeviAdams, and they have twosons, Jeffery, 12, and Cane,9. She has extended familyin this area, including her

parents, Jeff Rogers andMichelle Rogers, grandpar-ents, aunts, uncles, cousins.

Becca is not a trainedphotographer, but haslogged hundreds of pic-tures since her first childwas born.

“I wanted to documenteverything. I went througha couple of cameras beforeI got my first Canon,” shesaid.

Surprising fact: the 12pictures she took for thisseries were all shot on heriPhone, a testament to thequality of cameras found innew phones today.

FIRST. . . The bright red door of the former Phillips Loungewas the first picture Becca Adams took in her series of aban-doned buildings in Locust Grove. Pictures are copywrightedand should not be reproduced.

BECCA ADAMS said she thought the Green Acres stainedglass window belonged to a church when she was a child.The haunting image, right, is inside Sam’s Corner Store.
