NOC Wilkin Hall rededication ceremony and
Foundation gift announcement set for May 13
A rededication ceremony and laying of a new time
capsule for the recently restored Northern Oklahoma
College (NOC) Wilkin Hall, and the announcement of
a gift to the NOC Foundation, will be held near the
front steps of Wilkin beginning at 11 a.m., Tuesday,
May 13. The public is invited to attend with
refreshments served.
Sheri Snyder, vice president for development and
community relations will serve as Mistress of
Ceremonies. Ron Chambers the Most Worshipful
Grand Master of the Masons of Oklahoma Grand
Lodge will preside over the rededication ceremony. In
addition to the rededication ceremony, an endowed
gift announcement from the Masonic Charity
Foundation of Oklahoma on behalf of the Masonic
Fraternity of Oklahoma will be presented to the NOC
Foundation.
Under the leadership of acting President George
W. Finley, the original Masonic cornerstone ceremony
took place on November 16, 1905, at that time the
second building constructed at the University
Preparatory School. The cornerstone laying was hailed
as the “Great event in the History of U.P.S.” by The
Tonkawa News, Nov. 16 edition.
“This will truly mark another historical day for
Northern Oklahoma College,” said Sheri Snyder. “Not
only do we get the opportunity to rededicate the
restoration of one of our historic buildings, we will
celebrate the announcement of an endowed gift to the
Foundation in support of our college mission.”
Most recently, NOC Tonkawa has invested over $1
million on the exterior restoration of both Harold Hall
and Wilkin Hall. As a result, the Oklahoma Historical
Society State Historic Preservation Office has notified
NOC that it will receive the 2014 State Historic
Preservation Officers Citation of Merit Award on June
5.

NOC Enid wins regional opener
Enid News and Eagle — May 9, 2014
Northern Oklahoma College Enid, which scored only five runs in losing three out of four games to Redlands in the regular
season, busted out in a 7-4 win over the Cougars in the winners bracket semifinals of the Region 2 tournament Friday.
The Jets (33-21) will play Murray State, a 14-2 winner over NOC Tonkawa at 7 tonight in the winners bracket finals.
“We have gotten better as a team,’’ said a happy Jets head coach Raydon Leaton. “We’re a different team than we were
then. We have matured.’’
Jon Littell highlighted a five-run fifth for NOC Enid with a two-run homer over the center field fence. Korbin Polston was 4for-5 with a double and two RBI. Russ Colgan was 3-for-5 with two RBI. Nik Gifford was 2-for-5.
“We got some big hits today,’’ Leaton said. “Their starter (Cameron Hill) had some trouble with his command and we took
advantage of it.’’
The Jets’ Patrick O’Toole opened the game with a walk. Singles by Gifford and Littell loaded the bases and a Colgan twoRBI single put the Jets up for good. NOC Enid added five runs in the fourth to complete its scoring.
Dillon Harp, Dyce Applegate and O’Toole walked to load the bases in the fourth inning. Polston followed with a two-RBI
single. Gifford grounded out to score O’Toole and Littell’s shot over the center field fence made it 7-0.
Jets starter Jon Chidester got the win. He allowed 10 hits over six and two-thirds innings, striking out three and walked two.
Scotty Harvill, normally a starter, got the save, allowing only one hit and struck out two over 21⁄3 innings.
“We knew we had to have this game,’’ Leaton said. “Scotty has that closer’s mentality. We were hoping Jon would give us a
complete game, but he had thrown over 100 pitches.’’
Austin Hilton is scheduled to pitch tonight’s game. If the Jets win, they are in the championship round Sunday. If they lose,
they need to win three games to win the tournament.

Ban of Western shuffles bracket for NOC baseball
Enid News & Eagle — May 8, 2014
The Region 2 baseball tournament, which was already set back by the weather, was hit by another disruptive element
Thursday.
After self-reporting multiple violations, Western Oklahoma State, the 2011 NJCAA Division II World Series champion, now
has forfeited all 54 of its games from this season and was removed from the Region 2 baseball tournament.
Western earlier had dropped to the No. 6 seed in the tournament because it had to forfeit six games for using an ineligible
player.
The Pioneers’ dropping from the tournament forced a new bracket to be put in place.
Northern Oklahoma College Enid now plays Redlands, a team which took three out of four games from the Jets, in the
opening week of conference play, at 3:30 p.m. today.
Carl Albert, which originally was the Jets’ first-round opponent, now plays NOC Tonkawa at noon. Murray State plays the
winner at 7.
“It doesn’t matter whether Western is there or not,’’ said Jets head coach Raydon Leaton. “We still have to win games.
That’s our only concern. We would have eventually had to play Redlands. We just have to take care of business.’’
The noon and 3:30 losers play at noon Saturday. That winner plays the 7 p.m. loser at 3:30. The 3:30 and 7 p.m. winners
play at 7 Saturday.
There will be another elimination game at 1 p.m. Sunday. The finals are at 4 p.m. If a second championship is necessary, it
will be played at 1 p.m. Monday.
“I think we’re a lot better team now than when we played against Redlands,’’ Leaton said. “If we put together three good
games, we can win it. If you keep winning, you’re in good shape.’’
Leaton said he was undecided about his pitching rotation.

Durant’s Loyd signs to play soccer for Lady Mavs
DurantDemocrat.com2 days 18 hours ago |196 Views
Durant’s own Caroline Loyd will kick her soccer career up a
notch when she joins the roster at Northern Oklahoma CollegeTonkawa this fall.
Loyd, surrounded by parents, coaches and teammates,
accepted an offer to play at the two-year school. A short
scholarship-signing ceremony was Tuesday at Durant High
School.
“It feels great,” Loyd said. “Everyone’s here to support me
and I’m thankful. This has always been one of my goals to play
at the college level.”
Loyd was a center midfielder for head coach Jeff Garrett’s
Lady Lions, who just wrapped up their season not long ago.
Now, Loyd will jump into the collegiate realm with the Lady
Mavericks, who play their games in the fall. First-year NOC-Tonkawa soccer coach Joshua Smith said he saw two outstanding
aspects of Loyd’s game.
“First, her vision of the field and ability to work passing lanes correctly,” he said. “The other is her tenacity. She isn’t afraid
of contact and can push people around if she needs to, even if they are five or six inches taller.”
The Lady Mavs reached the national soccer tournament in 2011 and finished ranked 16th in 2012 before an 8-6-1 season in
2013. Loyd looks forward to adding her skills this August.
“They have a really good soccer program,” she said. “It feels like a really good place to go.”
She credits Garrett and assistant coach Crystal Thompson for teaching her the skills to advance.
“The coaches here are really great, and the support of my teammates has been great too,” Loyd said.
Parents Gracie and Eddie Loyd pointed out that their daughter will be receiving a diploma of distinction and is an honors
graduate of the DHS class of 2014.

The Ponca City News — 5/8/2014

She also participates in track competing in four events.
Jackson was named to the Oklahoma Girls Basketball Coaches Association Large West All-State team, the Oklahoma
Coaches Association All-State team, the All-Lawton area team, and was named to all-tournament teams at Altus, Deer Creek
and Shawnee.
“Paj is an aggressive, athletic guard who fits perfectly in the style we like to play,” Krause said. “She’s a tough competitor
and outstanding team leader.
Jones is a 5-11 post player who competed at Moore High School.
She averaged 5.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
She was named to the All-Mid-State Conference Honorable Mention team, and won the Lady Lion Pride Award.
“Bry is a physical post presence who will
help our toughness in the lane,” Krause said.
“She can score left or right-handed on the
blocks. We expect her to contribute right
away.”
Harrison is a 5-8 forward who played at
Western Heights. She was named AllSuburban Conference honorable mention,
and to the Large West All-Region team.
“Dani will help provide depth for us at
the guard and forward positions,” Krause
said. She has a good understanding of the
game and plays very intelligent basketball.”

Graduation Exercises Honor Total of 882 At NOC-Tonkawa
By L0UISE ABERCROMBIE, News Staff Writer — 5/4/2014
TONKAWA – Major General (ret.) Rita Aragon, commencement speaker for Northern Oklahoma College (NOC),
challenged the graduates to “serve” their communities and country during the graduation exercises Saturday morning on the
Tonkawa campus.
A patriotic theme resonated throughout the ceremony in the filled to capacity Foster Piper Field House. The audience stood
as the Pledge of Allegiance was performed by the NOC Choir and Band. This was followed by an Armed Forces Salute by the
NOC Madrigal Singers and Concert Band, arranged by Bob Lowden ad Edward Dixon. Members of the military past and
present were asked to stand as the song branch of their military service played. The audience, recognizing each of the military
songs, applauded as the past and present soldiers stood.
Dr. Cheryl Evans, first woman president of NOC, in her opening remarks, recognized the largest graduating class ever of
NOC. A total of 882 graduates were receiving degrees today (Saturday). The graduation ceremony for the Enid campus was
held Saturday afternoon.
Evans mentioned this year both the Roustabouts and the NOC Foundation had celebrated 50th anniversaries. She also
announced for the third year NOC has been recognized the Aspen Institute, the only two year college to be so honored in
Oklahoma. She reiterated the theme of the college is “Life Changing”. Regarding the large number of graduates, Evans noted
they are in keeping with Gov. Mary Fallin’s graduate degree program. Fallin is the first woman Oklahoma governor.
Introducing Major General Aragon, Evans noted she was the first woman and the fourth Oklahoma Secretary of Military and
Veterans’ Affairs and a liaison to the Gov. Mary Fallin for all Oklahoma military and veteran’s issues. Aragon served as the
first female commander of the Oklahoma National Guard, the first female to command a state’s Air National Guard and the first
female of Native American ancestry to become a general officer.
Aragon addressing the students said “This is not the end, but the beginning.” She challenged the graduates to serve their
communities and country in some capacity. She spoke of the many conveniences the people of the United States take for
granted and how much of the world’s population does not have access to these conveniences including processed food, water
and private sleeping quarters. At one point Aragon, a native of Dale, Okla., noted her family did not have indoor plumbing until
she was 12 years old.
She noted that most of the graduates have access to refrigerated food, canned goods and packaging, while half of the world
goes to bed hungry every night. She also mentioned there are those in Oklahoma who also go to bed hungry. The retired
military general challenged the graduates to serve and to live up to their potential.
Aragon asked all the military personnel to stand, and noted there are 359,000 veterans in Oklahoma that have defended the
constitution of the United States. She asked the students to do the same to learn to work and to serve.
The graduates dressed in NOC red gowns and caps, added to the patriotic flavor of the ceremony. Among the many Ponca
Citians in attendance were Jeff Cowan, vice chairman of the NOC Regents, and Linda Brown, Secretary of the Regents and
their spouses.

Four Lady Jets on All-Region softball team
Enid News and Eagle — May 6, 2014
ENID, Okla. — Northern Oklahoma College Enid’s first-year softball program landed four players on the All-Region 2 team

Leitka was 24-9 with a 2.40 ERA and 220 strikeouts in 1871⁄3 innings. She was virtually a one-woman pitching staff the
final few weeks of the season after co-ace Kendra Coleman was dismissed from the team.
Shipp batted .393 with seven doubles, 16 home runs and 40 RBI. She had a slugging percentage of .800 and scored 35 runs.
Barrios, after reporting late from basketball, gave the Lady Jets a boost offensively and defensively behind the plate. She hit
.416 with 14 doubles, four home runs and 21 RBI. She had a slugging percentage of .708 and scored 20 runs.
Shives hit .340 with 14 doubles, one triple, nine home runs and 32 RBI. She had a slugging percentage of .610 and scored 31
runs.
Walker hit .320 with six doubles, two home runs and 15 RBI. She scored 33 runs.
Todd hit .302 with nine doubles, six home runs and 34 RBI. She scored 26 runs.
The Lady Jets finished fourth in the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference and had a 38-20 overall record.
“I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out and what the girls achieved,’’ Roberts said about the first year. “I was
proud how they represented the school and how involved they were in the community.’’

NOC‘s DMI Accepting Applications
The Digital Media Institute (DMI) at Northern Oklahoma College Tonkawa is now accepting applications for the 2014-2015
school year. Applications can be downloaded at http://dmi.noc.edu
The DMI program focuses on specific methods used to transform ideas and concepts of digital media into creative digital
portfolios and demo reels that show the skills needed for today’s competitive employment environment. Currently, DMI
students are working on a project for a company that is producing a documentary on the sinking of the Sultana, the worst
maritime disaster in American history. They also created more than 30 short promotional segments for the 25th Anniversary of
Remington Park and for the 25th Running of the Oklahoma Derby.
According to Brad Matson, DMI director, “The DMI program is designed to examine the technologies and techniques
commonly used in animation and design. We offer a comprehensive curriculum that can help students gain digital design and
animation skills as well as experience in the real world production environment. ”
All students are immersed into the essentials of broadcast design, 2D and 3D animation, visual effects, digital filmmaking,
video production and interactive DVD authoring, thus gaining the basis for the specialized instruction within the DMI.
“Students will gain the skills necessary not only to work effectively in the existing areas of digital media production but to help
shape the future of technology as an employee as well,” Matson said.
DMI graduates will have the knowledge and skills necessary to communicate their ideas through the art of advanced
computer graphics in order to gain entry-level work or employment that could offer greater challenges in gaming, motion
graphics, visual effects and video/film production.
Job opportunities in the entertainment industry exist in video game asset creation, broadcast design, visual effects and digital
film. Other opportunities are in the fields of government, healthcare, military and industrial professions with simulations and
animations, advertising, communications and marketing, commercial spots, bumpers, rebranding, social media promotions,
station identity and corporate identity.
Also, openings exist in web design and development, including streaming media, nonlinear editing for video production and
digital films. Several companies contact Matson when they have a position to fill.
“CVW Media in Norman has six DMI graduates working for them,” Matson said. “Kevin Hanley, CEO of CVW Media,
loves the creativity and the work ethic of DMI students, so he hires some of my students every year. Digital Tutors, world-wide
leader in online media, currently has five graduates employed at the studio.”
Coursework in the Digital Media Animation and Design program includes 3D modeling, texturing, animation and
rendering in Autodesk’s award winning Maya, 3DS Max and Mudbox; motion graphics for broadcast and film with Adobe
Photoshop and After Effects; nonlinear digital video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro; designing and creating web sites for
showcasing student talents using Adobe’s Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash; and authoring DVD’s for student demo reels
with Adobe’s Encore and Audition.
Matson studied film making and video productions at the University of Oklahoma and has worked in the media field for the
past 26 years with TV studios, film companies, Digital Tutors, commercial work for Remington Park, RSI, AT&T and
Cingular. Employed at NOC for more than 13 years, he has received numerous awards and award nominations recognizing his
achievements in higher education.
In 2009 he received the prestigious 2009 DaVinci Fellow Award, given to college instructors for creative thinking in higher
education. He was acknowledged for his creative approach to video design and for giving students practical work experience
during their educational program based on his partnership with “Game=Life,” a video game production company founded by
Northern DMI graduate Adam Grantham. Through this partnership, DMI students contributed to a medicinal video game that
teaches how diabetics can maintain healthy blood sugar. For more information contact Matson at brad.matson@noc.edu or
