Outstanding
Music Alumnus
Oliver Hardin, a resident of
Perkins, was recently selected as
this year's Outstanding Music
Alumnus at Oklahoma State
University.
He was honored at the football
game on Homecoming Day, Satur-
day, Oct. 14 and at Alumni Band
activities.
Hardin is recognized as a person
who committed his professienal life
to public school teaching, often in
small communities. His teaching
career was characterized by quali-
ty, integrity and dedication-
A music educator in Oklahoma
for 20 years and inCalffornia for 14
y ears, Oliver H ardin's distinguish-
ed career is representative of the
pride and commitment to excellence
that mark OSU's music alumni/ae.
As a music education major at
OSU, Hardin was actfve in many
aspects of the department. He was
a stalwart member Of the band and
w as active in the band fraternity,
Kappa Kappa Phi,.
He worked his way through
school tuning pianos, and he recalls
the days of hot and dry rooms in
Crutchfield Hall where he was paid
the sum of $1,75 per hour for tun-
ing the upright piano. {Tuners are
now paid as much as $50 per plans)
Upon graduating from OSU in
1938, Hardin married the former
Irene Ross and together they
started the band program in Fox,
Okla.
This marked one of Hardin's ear-
ly successes, for he started 100
students on instruments in the first
year.
In the fall Of 1940, Hardin mov-
ed to Stillwater to teach the grade
school band. At that time, students
paid $2 to play in band, and Har-
din was required to pay the school
10 percent of what he made.
He was a bit surprised to discover
that initially only nine students
elected to participate, leaving him
with $16.20 a month to support a
wife and a one-month old SOrL
He was quick to start an ag-
gressive recruiting campaign and
by the end of the year had 75
students.
After serving as a tool and die
maker during the war, Hardin

Oliver Hardin
returned to Mulhall where he was
responsible for the music in grades
K-12. He served the Mulhall schools
for seven years and in that time
served as music teacher, high
school principal and
superintendent.
His bands, although small, con-
sistently won first division ratings
or first place.
In addition to his school
