(15) 3 DC i][F A Sketch of Birmingham-Southern 1 f 1 ANY leaders of Alabama Methodism have for a number of years seen the great opportunity for a male college in which the united strength of the Alabama and of the North Alabama Conferences is centered. During the sessions of the above named conferences in November of 1917 a decision was all but unanimously reached to make use of such an opportunity through the consolidation of the Southern University at Greensboro, Alabama, and of Birmingham College situated in (he heart of Greater Birmingham. On May 30, 1918, the actual consolidation of these noted and worthy institutions on the former campus of Birmingham College was effected by the action of the Board of Commissioners representing bath conferences. As was eminently fitting, the name chosen for this new- and y t old mstitution is Birmingham-Southern College. At this time the president, who had been previously elected, was authorized by the Commission to proceed with the organization of a faculty, the preparation and publication of a cata- log, and to take other proper steps for the opening of the session of 1918-19. These essential steps of organization had scarcely been taken when the War Depart- ment from Washington placed before the colleges throughout the country new and ex- tensive plans or military training. Birmingham-Southern College entered heartily and loyally into these plans, and under government supervision prepared for the training of a unit of the Students ' Army Training Corps. This training along with the normal work of the college was carried on faithfully till the armistice was signed and the S. A. T. C. was demobilized. Following the demobilization of the S. A. T. C. a unit of the Re- serve Officers ' Training Corps was organized with First Lieutenant Albert L. Shuler as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. The Birmingham-Southern College with its inheritance from Southern University and Birmingham College of a large and increasing endowment, a splendid library of 15,000 volumes, a unified and enthusiastic constituency extending throughout the great State of Alabama and of West Florida, and, perhaps, greatest of all, the Alumni, his- tory, and ideals of Southern University and of Birmingham College, the strength and glory of which any institution might be justly proud, faces the future with bright prospects. The dawning of such prospects appears through the three new departments that have been added, the faculty which has been increased by one-third, the student enrollment, which is one-third greater than the combined enrollment of Southern University and Birmingham College last year, and the provision which has already been made for the construction of a new and commodious brick dormitory for the reception of students at the opening of the sssion of 1919-20.

(24) ilfall m B Senior Class History T was the first day of school ; how important, and yet how insignificant felt the Freshmen of 1915, destined to be the Seniors of 1919. How small and lost they seemed with all the old students staring curiously at them and mock- ing them with the degrading appellation of Rats. Then, too, they scarcely received the consideration due to such personages of unusual intelligence. Were they not college students? Why should every one regard them in the light of a joke? Oh, the sensation of that never to bs forgotten first day! Every preacher in the District (and some not in it) made speeches on Golden Opportunities, yet none of them so much as made an impression upon the un- ruffled brains of that all-important Freshman Class. But when a Senior, the silver tongued orator of the Student Body, delivered an oration, each word uttered went straight into the ears of every Freshman, and caused dreams of future greatness to flit across their vision. The benediction was spoken, and the crowd moved toward Science Hall, where punch was being served; but Herbert sat staring into space until Hugh Smith gave him a nudge and said, Wake up. Rat. Strange to say when the punch disappeared, the crowd disap- peared with it, and soon only a bunch of forsaken rats was left in Dr. Colebeck ' s room, to matriculate. George, most youthful member both in looks and actions, was handed his enrolment card; he opened his eyes very wide, and said, What must I do with this. Pro- fessor? After being told to get it signed and return it, he looked none the wiser, but said, Yes, Sir. Oh! The experience of that first week, poring over schedules, and getting lost every other minute. Some plotting contrivers would actually direct an inquiring Freshman to the Chem. Lab. when he was seeking the History Room. That unnecessary feeling took all the joy out of living. Jessie and Grace would not have gone down that long hall or across the campus alone, if someone had offered them a pass in every subject free of work. Being an extraordinary class, they soon unravelled the many mysteries However, Hinton and Hunt did not seem to learn the directions as quickly as the others. One afternoon they got lost, and after quite an extended search, Hinton was found aim- lessly wandering in the Jungle, and Hunt was discovered in the Garrett. This class, in its desire to be different, decided to wear little green ribbons the rest of the term. Trials and tribulations came too soon ; and wholesale misery was spread through the Fresh- man Class when the grades of the first Math, test were read. And when those terrible theme subjects were assigned, supreme despair ruled the hearts of every non-literary Rat who had made the awful mistake of taking English. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so the troubles of lessons disappeared with the last echo of the 2:30 bell. A light reaction took place at the mass- meeting before the game with Howard. The parade the next day, those yells and songs, and that white washing victory constituted the greatest experience in the lives of the no longer green rats. Pitts and Jones were so hoarse that they could not read in Latin Class, for a week. However their speaking ability returned in time for the Freshman (25) [gi DC 3 DC DC 3 DC HfF ' banquet, and such momentous questions as Ish-ka-bibble, were debated in thunder tones; deYampert, e ' en tho vanquished, argued still. Marvelous musical ability was demontrated by Hinton, Hill and Hunt, when they sang Tipperary to the tune of Old Black Joe ; and the whole class was amazed by the ability shown in the readings given by the Duck University. Their wonderful experiences as Freshmen aided them in becoming the know-all Sophomores, for they then gave directions to the unfortunate Rats, and ably took part in all that college afforded. The ranks thinned as they marched through the period of Sophomorism, for some were vanquished by such hardened foes as Horace, others became entangled in the deep mysteries of Science, and many were chained in heavy tribute to Math. The entire class attained a certain degree of excellence in athletics, for they exercised m the halls, walking there, in a nd out of season. Hinton and Byars became famous among the fans of the diamond and gridiron, for Byars was elected president of the Athletic Association, and Hinton, manager of Baseball. Hill and Jones became famous tracksmen; Hill by his record runs for Chapel, while Jones attained his skill in running from Mrs. Moore ' s to Mrs. Walton ' s. Having learned the true value of one golden minute set with sixty diamond seconds, they settled down to work in earnest. It was in this year that they became less im- portant in their own eyes and more so in the eye.: of others ( rats, f ' r instance.) Their labors reaped rich results for Coulliette won the Ready Writer ' s Medal, and deYampert, the Oratorical Medal. George, deYampert, Jessie, and Grace announced their intention of making the course in three years, and, by their excellent recitations, displayed their ability to carry out their intention. All work and no play makes Jack a poor student. So work and fun, we found were easily mingled on the Royal Road to Knowledge. Versatility became the outstand- ing characteristic. Jessie Stead possessed the rare accomplishment of perpetual motion, and Louise that of always being in a pickle. Hill displayed a marvelous ability of falling in love, and then out again. While Pitts and Jones remained the fixed stars, never swerving from their orbit of duty. Their unfailing resourcefulness in the ability to bluff has aided them in many unprepared recitations. So with ups and downs — mostly downs, the class finally reached the exalted state of being Seniors, but — I am firmly convinced that the Faculty entered an organized conspiracy for the purpose of persecuting the innocent Seniors. Just think of the way they were chased from the halls to the Library, and the enormous amount of energy consumed in writing essays and debates. And to add insult to injury, the rats have actually tried to disobey orders. With so many hardship:-, no wonder the Senior Co-eds never giggled. The fun and frolic has been overshadowed by the big things they have accomplished. And through the years, they have risen from obscurity to great individual importance, only to lose them- selvse in bigger and better things. Now they leave part of their hearts to the school through which they have fought and triumphed. HISTORIAN ' 19 I IIDIIC m i [Dld I!! n Senior Class Prophecy HAD the pleasure of startling the loungers at the roof aerodrome of the Waldorf-Astoria by landing unannounced after a short trip from my home in the South. It was late in the afternoon of June 6, 1 929. I went at once to the lobby to register for my room and to take some refreshment after my tiresome trip. I was very much surprised to meet Herbert Byars, an old classmate of mine. After greetings were exchanged I accepted his cordial invitation to his home. On the way out I was much surprised to hear that he had become very successful as a surgeon in New York City. I was delighted to meet his charming wife, and to play with little Herbert Jr., for the sake of old times and pleasant memories. After dinner we were discussing old times, and Byars mentioned the fact that exactly ten years ago to the day we received our diplomas from Birmingham-Southern College. This led to a discussion of our classmates. I had, on my last business trip as inspector of the Aerial Mail Service, visited the town of Waverly, Ala. There I found the wife of the postmaster taking care of the office in the absence of her husband. I was glad to remember her as our classmate, Jessie Stead. She told me that their beloved pastor was Brother T. L. Hill, who was doing a great work for the church and the social life of the community. Dr. Byars had been astonished the previous week to recognize in one of the opera singers our friend and fellow student, Miss Louise McCormick. He went behind the scenes, and was told that her wonderful success was largely due to the capable manage- ment of Elmer Hinton. We are sure that this success was due to his wide experience during his college days. It had been my pleasure recently to visit the city of Birmingham. There I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Umsted Pitts fill the pulpit of the First Methodist Church in the absence of the pastor. Rev. R. K. Jones. Dr. Pitts was having some trouble in holding down the eloquent brethren of his District. But he hoped to moke a favorable report from Birmingham District at the end of the year. That afternoon I visited our Alma Mater, which had grown to be one of the greatest educational institutions of the South. I was cordially received by the successful president, Dr. Grace Jones. She had, after a time spent in advance study, and work along educational lines, been chosen to administer the affairs of this growing institution. It was here that I also met two others of my old classmates. They were Messrs. deYampert and Hunt, who had built up a business in the wholesale hardware trade that was the envy of the merchants throughout the country. They found it necessary to employ a special attorney to take care of their varied interests. This attorney proved (27) y LHJ 3 DC ME w IlL JLOjiC mm to be no other than the Hon. George Reynolds. He had eslabhshed a great reputation for himself in spite of his youth. He spoke of entering politics at a later time. I assured him that I believed his success would be great if he should do so. Thus Dr. Byars and I found that all of our classmates had fulfilled all the promise of their college days, and were doing their part in the world ' s work . )enior CI ass oem YESTERDAY Look back, dear Comrades, to thai yesterday When we started this journey together; Four years we have trudged along the way. In calm and stormy weather: Calm — when we heeded what instructors had to say. Stormy — when we played our lime away Not all are with us who started that yesterday. Some heard their Country ' s call. And are in Flanders field — far away. Yet there ' s still a tie that binds us all. Cemented by associations of many-a-day. TODAY And now, look into your hearts this day. There lies a mixture of varied emotions As we part, — each to go on his way To carry out plans and notions. In laying aside text-books, worn and sere. We feel relieved, — we are really glad ; But on leaving Alma Mater and teachers, dear. Regret comes over us and we are sad. Feelings of gratitude well up in each heart, We cannot express, — tears almost start. As approaches the day we must part. TOMORROW Tomorrow? Who can draw the curtain from tomorrow And reveal what the Future for us doth hold? That gift belongs to a Higher, Greater Power, — Yet surely we ' ve learned what we ' re so oft told. That our tomorrows are the product of our yesterdays. So let us be steadfast to the principles we ' ve been taught: Be honest, conscientious, noble m all our ways, Set an example that cannot be bought; And with grateful hearts and memories that stay. Let us light tomorrow with yesterdays and today. Trust on, and think tomorrow will repay. f r? Alma Mater On the city ' s western border Reared against the sky.

Oliver (31) Odi fF □ c DC 3 DC 3D !1W Juniors HE majority of the class of 1920 have grown up with the school. Little Willie tells us that he can not remember when he entered the Southern University. John T. assured the writer that he had been through all the trials known to college life. We have an idea that there have been a few trials held by the faculty during the past three years. John T. ran a close race for the position of biggest loafer in school. Our dear little Willie, however, copped the honor. Baseball and one other game are his favorite sports. Lamb will surely lead a busy life looking after his flocks. Baty should lose an I if he would gain the best in life. He is an excellent football player, and by a sort of coup d ' etat, was the man who held down the position of quarter- back on the team of ' 18. He is also well known among the Co-eds for his fair coun- tenance and winning smile. Hatcher is famous for his brilliant work as tackle on the Champion team of ' 16. He has one idiosyncracy — talking to himself. Oft have we heard him vociferously enunciating, I believe in a Republic ' Howard typifies the studious man by his solemn look, and his long bushy hair. His motto is, Oh Sleep! thou art a gentle thing. The only trouble is that the sun, being envious of his golden hair wakes him too early in the morning. Malone is a synonym for laziness. He amuses himself by annoying the Co-eds. He has been in school since he was knee high to a paper-weight, and bids fair to finish college by the time he is thirty. We would not dare omit the famous John o ' Gaunt. Oliver has had a be-decked career in school. He plans to study medicine so that he will be prepared for any emergency. His major work will be done in Therapeutics de femmes. Many of these men are famous. Their names are inscribed on the roll of fame at the Rogues ' Gallery. They will revolutionize the art of detectives and spur the Police to their best efforts. Quite truly are their names inscribed on rolls of future fame, for they shall become leaders of reform. The old outrage of bribery will be discarded. Those officers who look askance upon crime will be deprived of their office through the powerful force of Public Opinion. This force will be remodeled by the members of this class. If Father Time would pull back the curtain we would see each of these men in a positon of great honor and influence. But the curtain obscures our vision. Since the writing of the above, two members of the class have by good fortune, taken unto themselves sufficient credits whereby they become members of ih-? Senior Class. While it gives us sorrow to know that they are no longer of us, we wish them the greatest success. These are Ira Pegues and Lomax Bates.

White Sophomore Class History HE consolidation of Birmingham College and the Southern University meant the combination of the Freshman class of the Southern University and the Freshman class of Birmingham College to form the Sophomore Class of Birmingham-Southern College. When we started out as Freshmen, little did we think that such would be our destiny, but such it was. On September II, 1 9 1 8, the opening day of school, began the career of this body of students as Sophomores in the Birmingham-Southern College. We were glad, of course, to find that we had with us two fair co-eds. They were former members of the Freshman class of Birmingham College. One of these, you will find, possesses the true poetic spirit, and is destined to become well known in literary circles. Our work as a class was not what it should have been during the first term. The conditions brought about by the Students ' Army Training Corps caused a somewhat loose connection between us. We could not work together with any degree of certainty. We are proud, however, of the scholarship of our class. For we are sure that it is far above that of other classes. Immediately after Christmas holidays we organized our class. We feel now that we are working together to make the Sophomore Class of this year stand out as a standard for other classes in the years to come. With Mr. Branscomb as president of our class we can surely march steadily along the way to the end of the year as a united body of students; taking every honor that comes within our reach. We have a number of men who will be members of the Glee Club. There is also an unusually large number of our fellows who will take part in athletics, and especially in trying out for the Baseball team. We shall not neglect the literary work of our class, for we expect to capture the Freshman-Sophomore Declamation Medal at the end of the year. As the first Sophomore Class of Birmmgham-Southern College we feel it to be our duty to set a standard for the following Sophomore Classes of the institution by making a record of which we shall not be ashamed at the end of the year. f rf r (37) □ C 3 DC 3 DC 3D Sophomore Class Prophecy LD Father Time is always on the job. He never stops one moment for the tread of the passing throng. His far-reaching eyes never gaze upon the dismal past, but look steadily mto the distant future. By his knowledge Father Time is able to discern the destinies of all men. As he continues his noiseless advance, you and I become the realities of our dreams and ambi- tions. I besought Father Time to give me the privilege of gazing upon his book, and observing through his eyes the future of the Class of 192 1 . The request granted, here is what I beheld: The first vision was of a magnificent and voluminous library. At the desk sat a handsome man whose undisturbed interest indicated that he was solving some deep question of theology. The news bulletin showed that Dr. A. L. Branscomb would preach at the First Methodist Church of New York the following Sunday. The next vision represented a stately legislative building where many statesmen and diplomats had assembled. The leading figure in the group was a tall, slender man whose oratory had astonished the entire world. This man was Hon. John Oliver, President of the Chinese-American republic. Then I saw a man with the dignity and air of a pedagogue. The fluency with which he enunciated words, and the originality of his expression marked him as Professor of Modern Languages in Bordeaux University. Yes, this was Dr. D. D. White. Who was the man with a high hat and long coat? Oh! yes, I remember, Rufus Stafford. After failing in a legal profession, and in matrimony, he concluded to preach, and was stationed at Frog Pond, Alabama. Here he has found the desired success. One of the illustrious names as revealed by Father Time was that of Harry Denman. He became a great leader in Sunday School work, and was head of the International Sunday School Association. My attention was directed to a group of earnest, dignified men in consultation. One of the assembly had held the others spell-bound for an hour by his discussion. This man was Rev. W. R. Tipton, reporting the results of his five years in Africa as a missionary. The others in the group were Drs. Middlebrooks, Baker, Duncan, Sparks and Bishop Barnes. The problem which seemed hard to solve was, whether they should send Tipton back to work among the cannibals of Africa, or appoint him to Sandy Ridge Circuit. Then Father Time showed me a great surprise. I saw a long parade of soldiers and civilians, displaying banners, waving flags, and shouting madly. The state elections had just ended and Hon. J. W. deYampert had been made Governor of Alabama. While I sat wondering at the strange things which had happened within a few years, there came to my ears the sound of a familiar voice. , If it could be compared (38) FT! .y iQ te 3 n c 3 D p with Caruso ' s voice, this voice was better still. The singer proved to be W. W. White, whose song hits had taken the world by storm. My heart filled with joy when I saw a man diligently administering to the needs of a suffering and benighted people in Southern Asia. Dr. C .M. Kelly had gone as a medical missionary, and had established a medical college in India. Father Time was about to bid me go when I reminded him that there were yet two members of our class. He showed me the Congressional Hall of the United States. The Congressman had assembled to he ar Madame Susie Rosamond, Senator from Ala- bama, on Political Eccentricity. The last scene upon which I should gaze was a school of Medicine and Nursing, with Dr. Lucile McCleskey at the head. She and her strong corps of nurses were bring- ing new life to the sick and suffering. I was anxious to know my own desiny as seen by Father Time, but he bade me go at once. i Ifil Sophomore Class Poem School days, school days — What do ihey mean to you?

Why, we were the ones who were to enter the Freshman class. We had graduated from High School the spring before. We entered with many a high ambi- tion and glorious hope. But we soon found that there were certain ones in the institution who were not inclined to look with favor upon our budding genius. This class was composed of Seniors. They bestowed upon us the odious name of Rats, and gave us our orders for the year. Oh, the torture of wearing those green ribbons I How we struggled to hide them when we went to town! But at length Rat Night was over; 45 (degrees) was a thing of the past and we quit the green to don the khaki. For you must know that we had joined the S. A. T. C, and were bona fide members of Uncle Sam ' s army. We viewed our uniforms and number twelve shoes with ill-concealed satisfaction. Then for many days we drilled and hiked, and rose at unearthly hours with an overwhelm- ing desire to murder the bugler. This process of making men of us was continued through cold rnd heat, rain and snow. It was a pathetic and touching sight to see the soft hands which had never before handled anything more weighty than a cigarette, twirling a mop. At length after many days of K. P. duty, and many lonesome tours of guard duty we received our discharges. Here some fell by the wayside. Possibly the exertion of washing dishes had wearied us. But those of us who were left settled down to work in good fashion. The style seemed to be for one ' s nose to be buried in a book. We produced themes by the dozen, and worked Math, problems by the score. Till at length by dent of a process known as cramming we went forth to encounter term exams. And with undaunted courage we pressed on through the next term. Some of us won a name for ourselves as debators, others won fame in the class room, while others proved their prowess on the athletic field. One and all we stood behind our teams and cheered them to victory. Now the time has come we are about to leave the Freshman ' s toils and pleasures for those of the Sophomore. We leave the office of Rat to those who are fresher, and therefore more fit to fill it. Next year we will come back in full force and startle you by something. n CD mp. (43) 01 g I IPC 3 PI IP D iU: 1919 Freshman Class Prophecy N the days of my youth, when only a barefoot boy, I often desired to have the flying abihty of a bird. When I entered college it became my ambition to take a tour over this nation of America and to the sunny island of Japan in a Ford aeroplane. On the first of September, 1914, I began this long antici- pated trip from the city of Pensacola, Florida. Thij trip will ever be a bright spot in my memory, since I met so many of my old friends, who had experienced with me the joys and sorrows of the Class of 1922 at Birmingham-Southern College. Having left Pensacola in the early morning, I made my first stop at the dear old capital of Alabama, Montgomery. I am especially interested in the education of young ladies, and I was glad to interview the learned president of the Woman ' s College of Alabama, Mr. Herston M. Cooper, in regard to placing my daughter at his school during the next year. I then went to the University of Alabama, at Tuscaloosa, to spend the week end with my son. I wai delighted to meet there my friends Robert J. Rowe, the football coach, and Cecil Hitchcock, the professor of Science. Sunday morning we attended church services and were pleased to hear the Presiding Elder of Tuscaloosa District, Rev. Perry D. Scrivner, deliver a delightful sermon on the subject The End of the World. That afternoon we visited the hcspital for the Insane. We met there Dr. Francis White, who was kind enough to show us the effects of mental strain in the case of one of his patients, J. L. Wheeler. This poor man, as poet laureate, had been given the task of composing a suitable epitaph for the tomb of Kaiscg William II. My next visit was to the campus of my dear Alma Mater, Birmingham-Southern College. I attended the Chapel exercises conducted by the president of the institution, William T. Moore. He introduced the Chairman of the City Board of Commissioners, Mr. B. F. Tate, who spoke on The Street Car Service, a Relic of the Past. Later I was introduced to Mrs. Davis, whom I once knew as Gladys Green, now the Dean of Women, and to Mr. Paul Norton. Director of Athletics. Mrs Davis told me that our friend. Miss Margaret McCoy, was new president of Athens College. She also showed me Miss McCoy ' s latest book, Love, a Lost Jewel. I left the Magic City for a long flight of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, and landed in the city of Richmond, Va., suffering from severe eye strain. I met a book agent on the street and he gave me a phamplet, which I later found was by W. D. Webb, telling of his famous discovery How to Remove Freckles, at the same time directing me to the office of Dr. John Akin, Eye, Ear and Nose Specialist. There my wants ,illHJli y '   1 □ CD. i t D! were supplied by the doctor ' s very amiable assistant, whom I had known as Miss Annie Louise Moon. After my eyes were repaired I flew northward, but was forced to descend at New York because of a sooty muffler. At the aerodrome I found manager Frank Ham- mett, advising Pilot H. M. Osborn, of the Air Mail Service, as to the care of his pneumatic stablizer. I observed that his plane sas carrying a poster reading Vote for Mcrgaret Henry, Suffragette Candidate for Mayor. ' I also met two young cadets who told me they were from the famous Smith Military Academy conducted by the retired War experts, G. R. and R. V. Smith. They were interested in discussing the star pitcher of the last game of the recent World ' s Series. They said that he was once known by the name of Merritt Shores. I visited Columbia University and the Basketball Coach, Shine Montgomery, told me that he was expecting a call from the star battery of the Boston Braves, Pitcher R. B. Bagley, and his backstop, Hugh Mosely. My machine had been well overhauled by this time and I took a long flight over the Central Plains to the mountains of Colorado. I landed in the city of Denver, suffering from a severe toothache. I was told that Dr. W. W. Locke was the leading dentist of the city. I was pleased to have him remove the source of my pain. I found that J. B. Fort had become a Life Insurance agent, and taking advantage of the opportunity, had established his office just across the hall from Dr. Locke. I visited his office and found him about to insure the life of C. S. Branscomb for a million dollars. Branscomb felt that this w as necessary since he was now a Forest Ranger in the Yellowstone National r Park and his cigarette ashes were likely to start a fire at any time. i: My next stop was in the city of San Francisco. I had a slight mishap in landing here _ when my left wing tried to amputate a lamp post. I was sued by the owner of the aerodrome, but fortunately I secured the services of Attorney H. G. Porter, and was awarded two cents for damages to my aeroplane. This decision was largely due to the testimony of an eye witness to the accident. Miss Diana McCleskey, now a well known optician in the city. After the trial I went to the Ford agency and exchanged my damaged plane for a new one. I purchased sufficient supplies for a long flight to the sunny land of Japan. I saw the lights of Tokio in about twenty hours after leaving San Francisco. I was much pleased to find my friends. Dr. Charlie D. Matthews and Miss Rosa Lee Walston, conducting a hospital for the peer people of Tokio. I visited the Royal observatory and found J. W. Bancroft studying a new planet which he had discovered a few days before. I completed my tour of Japan without further event and returned to Los Angeles, California. There I was pleased to hear the famous Loring Club sing under the direction of Mr. E. P. Richardson. I completed my trip home by the southern route, visiting Austin, Texas, New Orleans, La., and Mobile, Ala. In Austin I found Aubrey Miller coaching the football team of the University of Texas. At New Orleans I heard an excellent address by Dr. C. C 9 (46) in m 3D 3 DC S. Reynolds, president of Tulane. In Mobile I found Gen. E. W. Godbey putting his men on board a ship for an expedition to settle the Quartist Rebellion in Venezuela. I found that his Chief of Staff was Col. A. B. Davidson. I finished my journey to Pensacola without mishap, and greeted our Postmaster, Mr. J. C. Ralls, with great pleasure when he gave me my accumulated mail. I stored my Flivver Flyer and decided to follow the example of my many friends and do some- thing that would make a slight dent in the skull of the Old World. Fresh man CI ass oem Great Senior, said a lowly rat, What makes you look so sad? It seems to me you ' ve everything that Could serve to make one glad. i [JH No more to burn the midnight oil, Your college days are done. Alas for me, poor wretched rat, My trials are but begun. Foolish Freshman, the Senior replied. You know not whereof you speak. For you there are three more years of fun; My troubles — not yours — are just begun ; Henceforth, the battles of life I must seek. And as for you, young rat, I hope You ' ll strive for a place in the sun. Take pains and care all the time you are here. And when you leave you ' ll not have to grieve O ' er the things you have left undone. Study and work, and don ' t try to shirk The things it ' s your duty to do. Though you tremble and fear, if you do not despair In the end you will surely come through. (47) =] D C J C3 I I PI . I D CD % nJVIOjR. ' BsKj -ttr High School Seniors Officers E. J.

Lemke W. W. White I =1 □ c The Students ' Army Training Corps OW that the actual strife of war is over, we have come to the period in which we give honor to those heroes who fought our cause so well. Among these organizations which played their part in the work of the Great World War we wish to call your attention to that one which the college students of our country were especially concerned with ; the Students ' Army Training Corps. It was in July, 1918, that our government authorized the sending of a number of picked students from all the colleges of the nation to camp at Fort Sheridan, 111., and Plattsburg, New ' ork. These seven thousand chosen men received two months of intensive military training in these camps. At the end of the two months, appro.ximately two thousand of these men recived commissionj in the United States Army. The other men returned to their colleges, and assisted in the organization and training of units there. The quota from Birmingham-Southern College was five men, sent to Fort Sheridan. These men were Prof. J. B. Rorie, J. Roy Carlton, J. Horace Couliiette, Asbury H. deYampert, Hugh O. Smith. At the erd of the camp Professor Rorie and J. Roy Carlton received their commissions as second lieutenants in the United States Infantry. Lieutenant Carlton was assigned to Camp Grant, 111., for special training. He died there, a few months later, from influenza. Lieutenant Rorie was assigned to our S. A. T. C. unit at Birmingham-Southern College. First Lieutenant Earl E. Hodges was assigned to the unit as Commanding Officer. Second Lieutenant W. G. Asmus, H. L. Brinkley. and W. W. Dunkin were also assigned to the unit. The unit as originally organized consisted of ninety-one men, three of whom were transferred to the Coast Artillery, and stationed at Fortress Monroe, Va. The unit was given a very thorough course of training throughout the period of its existence. Though the period of its existence was brief — the unit being demobilized December 20 — the military discipline attained by its members was very high. The work was strenuous at times, but there was enough pleasure in it to make the work very attractive. The men were thrown together in close association, and developed a high regard for one another. We can truthfully say there were few who were not sorry when they received their discharges. Our officers were active, conscientious men — soldiers in every sense. They were men whom we could all love and appreciate. Their administration of the unit was such that the Government Inspector declared it to be the best in the Southeastern Department. The Students ' Army Training Corps grew out of the need for a higher type of officers in the army, and we declare it to have been an unqualified success, if for no other reason than that it demonstrated the ability of the American people to meet any kind of a situation that may be found in the time of need. n g I J DC D D t i n ' Reserve Officers ' Training Corps In view of the desirability of military training at the present time, and since the Students ' Army Training Corps has been demobilized, our faculty has arranged with the United States Government for the establishment of a unit of the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps. First Lieutenant A. L. Shuler, U. S. Infantry, has been assigned by the govern- ment as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. The unit has just been organized cind will be composed of all students who are able physically to take the training. Lieu- tenant Shuler is an officer of sixteens years ' experience in the regular army. We are sure the work of the unit will be the source of much pleasure and benefit to the boys. (61) r J r nrr.irr ' ' Intercollegiate Oratorical Association One of the more important organizations in which Birmingham-Southern is interested is the Intercollegiate Oratorical Association. We occupy a unique place in this Associa- tion at the present time. The Association originally consisted of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Southern University, Birmingham College, and Howard College. By the union of Southern University and Birmingham College the Association now consists of A. P. I., Howard, and Birmingham-Southern. In the early Spring a preliminary contest is held at each college, and the winners of these preliminaries meet to contest for the State Championship. Birmingham College was represented last year by Mr. C. R. Wolford, and Southern University was represented by Mr. J. L. Kelly. Mr. Kelly was successful in winning the contest, and placed another name on the long list of winners for Southern University. We are sure that Birmingham-Southern is going to keep up the high standard of excellence set by the speakers of Southern University and Birmingham College in previous years. l; . l m- Ei n Ministerial Conference Officers J.

HERE has been a time when the Young Men ' s Christian Association did not seem to be of so much importance in connection with a college. But that time is far gone. Men have come to realize that there is a work the Y. M. C. A. can do among men that no other organization can do. One of the main reasons the Y. M. C. A. has so much influence with college men is because they feel that it is theirs, and they do not object to taking part in it because of possible embarrasment. The Y. M. C. A. develops a phase of life that the majority of the churches leave untouched, that is the social side. Many a man has been attracted by the social occasions of the Y. M. C. A., and has been influenced for good. The Y has come to have a new and more complete meaning for most people since our entrance into the World War. Previous to that time many people looked upon the Y. M. C. A. as being an organization for the effeminate boy. But now the sound of Y brings to mind the thought of an organization for the benefit of humanity. We are a member of the Southeastern Department of the National Association, and it is necessary for us to keep in close touch with the leaders of the work if we would keep the organization full of interest and enthusiasm. Each summer there is held at the Blue Ridge Association Conference Ground a Conference of delegates from all the Student Associations of the Department. This Conference is the source of great inspiration for those who attend. There are gathered the more interested men of all the colleges of the South under the leadership and instruction of some of the best known men of our country. The influence of their wisdom, the fellowship with the boys, and the ideal climate of the Blue Ridge Mountains make an impression never to be forgotten. It is our hope that a number of the fellows from our local association will find it possible to attend the Conference this summer. i ' nl (65) ■Die fnlfi 5 Id] c 51fnlfE :]||n||c =3 D C 3 DC ?][d]0 mu ly MISS LILLIAN GREGORY The Library One of the things which are essential to th ' vpII- ordered educational institution is a well-equipf ed and arranged library. The library of Birmingham- Southern College is rapidly being put into shape. It is made up of the libraries of Southern University and Birmingham College combined, containing some twenty thousand volumes. It is now under the ef- ficient care of Miss Lillian Gregory. She is making the library a means of much assistance, and a source of great interest to the students. The collection of books is a very choice one, and in a few years our library will rival those of much larger universities. (66) IUlCd.

Hinton Miss Green Belles Lettres Literary Society ITH the union of Southern University and Birmingham College, the R. E. Lee Literary Society of Birmingham College was absorbed by the Belles Lettres Literary Society. The Belles Lettres Literary Society was founded in the same year that the Southern University was founded, and throughout the years of its history, has influenced the lives of a host of men. It is indeed fortunate that the Belles Lettres and her rival, the Clariosophic, have maintained their existence, or their members are known throughout the country, and they will always cherish the memory of these two organi- zations. The Belles Letters, as many other organizations, have done little work this year on account of the unfavorable conditions. But now that much time may be devoted to literary work activety, and establish her position again in her field of usefulness. The representatives for the various functions of the year have not yet been chosen, but the Belles Lettres can always be counted on to do their part. Commencement season will find the societies arrayed against each other with all the enthusiasm of former years, and the Belles Letters will come off with flying colors.

The members of the Eumenean Society automatically became members of the Clariosophic, so that the union of the two societies strength- ened both, since neither would have been able to continue as distinct socie- ties. The Clariosophic Society is a chapter of an organization at Oxford University, England, founded many years ago. At the Southern University the Society turned out many great orators and debators, who today remember vividly the training they received there. On account of the S. A. T. C, society work this year has been seriously hampered. There could be no regular time for meeting, and consequently, no social events. But with the beginning of the second term we will take up the work in earnest. The only event of the year was a debate between representatives of the Belles Letters and the Clarios, which occurred just before the holidays. Represented by Howard and Pegues, we were victorious. Men have not yet been chosen to represent the society in the various activities for the rest of the year, but with material in hand, the society will strive for even greater things than she has attained in the past. The society has a large enrollment and during the second term we are going to place the organization on the same sound basis of the past. (77) nim =nr7=nf7= HOC nrTTir? FloTneri Jack-in-Pulpit. R. L.

In this, the first year of Birmingham-Southern College, the Student Volunteer Move- ment is represented by two members, Mr. U. S. Pitts and Mr. R. K. Jones. These men are members of the State organization, of which Miss Clara Chalmers of Athens College is President, and U. S. Pitts is Treasurer. May this number increase during each of the coming years, and each giving his life or the evangelization of the world. lUJ (86) y Athletics T is the purpose of the Student Body and Facuhy of Birmingham-Southern College to make the school known throughout the country. We believe that one of the best methods of doing this is through intercollegiate athletics. Both Birmingham College and the Southern University were well known for their athletic teams. We certainly can maintain the reputation of both. Though our experience has not been very wide, our record thus far can hardly be surpassed. We have a most excellent athletic ground in Munger Field. You may expect to see there many a hard fought athletic contest, and you will be sure to see old B. S. C. bear up her part of the honors. Interest is also added to athletics by the loving cup donated by the Porter Clothing Company, of this city. This cup is given each year to the most popular athlete in college. Mr. Porter offers similar cups at all the leading institutions of the South, including Auburn, University of Alabama, Howard, Sewanee, Vanderbilt, and the University of Tennessee. Thus the winning of this cup is quite an honor. We are not prone to prophecy, but we have an idea that the winner of the cup this year will be the popular idol of the fans of Birmingham, Shine. I (89) [Li! Id; LUJ Football Baby HayNES, Captain Left Tackle We all call him Baby, nevertheless he is one of the best tackles. Hii varied experience, gained during his three years in athletics at Howard, helped him to make us a successful Captain and acting Coach. We are all proud of Baby. On account of the gigantic war program worked out by the War Department and the inauguration of the S. A. T. C. in the Birmingham-Southern College, athletics were relegated to a second-rate position. However, following the downfall of Kaiser Bill and the cessation of hostilities we were granted per- mission from our Commanding Officer to use the remainder of the season in turning out the best team possible. A game with Howard was quickly arranged and all men who had previous experience were requested to don their football togs and appear on Munger Field. We had some very promising material but very little time in which to develop it into a team. Haynes, who had played three years with Howard College, and Hatcher, a member of the 1916 Birmingham team, were the only men who had made their letters on r.rst-class college teams. We were very fortunate, though, in having such high school men as Montgomery, Baty, Miller. Greene and Scarborough as well as a few others. Haynes was elected Captain. Also the duties of coaching were turned over to him and he certainly proved his ability as a coach. After a hard week s work in running signals and scrimmaging we met our ancient foe in the annual game at Rickwood. and we forced her to accept defeat by the score of 26 to 14. Of course, we always consider that we have a successful season if we defeat Howard, but we were not satisfied this year with just one victory. So our popular Lieutenant and Athletic Director, Lieutenant Asmus, secured us a game with Camp McClellan at Anniston. Although outweighed by approximately fifteen pounds to the man, we defeated a team composed mostly of Lieutenants and Captains by the overwhelming score of 64 to 0. It was now December and since we had successfully vanquished two strong foes we were satisfied to let the season pass into history and begin planning for the one of 1919. (90) lailc 51fai[I lallt: y 1919 NS Football ' Yap deYampert ■ e ' ( ' ' Yap played a worthy role on the scrubs at Alabama in 1916 and made ' varsity at Southern the following year. He is well built and always plays a dependable game at guard. This is his last year and his place will be hard to fill. ' Bob Rowe e Cuari Bob put in two years ' hard work on the Talladega High School team and proved his ability here by making the team in one year. Rowe has three years with us and we are expecting great things from him. ' Sugar Scarborough ■R ' g ' Tackle Sugar hails from Tennessee, where he was a star in prep football. He was a consistent player in the line and could always be found in the thickest of the fight. We regret very much that he cannot be with us next year. Smily Hatcher Hatcher is the only remaiiing member of the famous Panther team of 1916. Smily weighs only 190 the little fellow wades right through them in center. experienced man and we are depending on him for next year. Although He is an (91) 31[nir Football y Cal Osborn Left End Cal started his football career in 1914 at Gulf Coast Military Academy, where he played star football for three years. He also made varsity at Southern last year. Although he is the smallest man on the team he is a very valuable player in every phase of the game. Cooper Greene Right Cuard Cooper is one of our heaviest men and when it comes to opening a gap in the line he is always there. He comes to us from Jefferson County High, where he played star football for two years. He is young and promises to be a wonderful player in the future. Mike Norton Right End Mike is keeping up the tradition of the Norton brothers at Birmingham Southern College. He is a dangerous tackier, and the man he hits generally needs relief. We are expecting him to make a wonderful little player for us next year. ! Tappy Bradford Right Half I ' l Although Jim Thorpe was a wonderful athlete he hasn ' t much on Tappy when it comes to speed. In addition to being speedy he is a wonderful man at intercepting forward passes. He is going to be with us one more year and we will be sure to feel his strength. ' Mit Greene R S t Half I do not know what we would have done without Mit this year, for he certainly played a consistent game for us. He hits the line low and hard and never fails to make a gain. We are glad that he is coming back next year. ' Cap Miller - ' ' ' k During his two years on the varsity at Southern he gained a thorough knowledge of the game. He is a wonderful line plunger and when he is called, it isn ' t How far did he gain? but Did they ever stop him? . He has three more years on the team and is expected to develop into a powerful full back . Shine Montgomery ■ ' ' f Shine comes to us from Central High, where he made a wonderful record as an all- round athlete. A better-broken field runner never played for Birmingham-Southern, and as a consistent man he was a Jonah to the opposing team. He led the team in scoring and we have made him Captain for next year. Jim Baty ; Q ' ' ' ' There is no wonder that Jim made such an excellent record this year. He put in two hard years ' work on the Birmingham-Southern scrubs and later played star football on the Bessemer High team. Jim is one of the best quarters we ever had and promises to play a wonderful game for us next year. ii=y J yi 5Sr«4-.- ' i-isi i !

We have played four games thus far this season and in every game our team had little trouble in defeating the opponents.

He guards his man well and is good in keeping the ball away from his opponents ' goal. He can also play forward as he was sub- forward on the great 1916-17 Southern team. ' Bo BagLEY Left Guard Bagley is the largest man on the team and his case seems to furnish sufficient evidence to prove that size has a great deal to do with playing basketball. He comes to us from Good- water, where he played two years on the high school team. ' TaNLAC BuRNEY Center Although Tanlac ' is only five feet and five inches tall he generally gets the tap off at center. Burney is also probably the most accurate shot on the team and has starred in every game thus far. The little fellow promises to make a name for himself in basket- ball. ' Ed Godbey Center Ed ' hails from Springville, where he played on the High School team for three years. He is one of the best shots on the team and is also good at passing. You will hear more of Godbey on the Birmingham-Southern team in years to come. ' Mike Norton Left Forward Mike first blinked in the morning sunshine away back in the late ' 903 and first came to public notice playing basketball on the 1916 Birmingham-Southern team. He is a crack shot and also is the best man on the team at passmg. ' Shine Montgomery Right Forward The ball was larger than Shine when he began playing in 1915 on the Central High team. He was a star on that team for the two seasons following and also on the B. A. C. team. He is an excellent player and is popular with all lovers of the basket game. Tappy Bradford Left Forward Bradford was wafted in on the wings of early morn from Atmore. He played two years at Southern and was manager during his last year there. He is making us a good man and we are all proud that he is going to be with us one more year. Bertha Shores Utility Bertha is perfectly at home on the basketball court, having played at sundry limes and places during the last five years. He played on the Y. M. C. A. Business Boys ' team last season. He is a good utility man and one to be proud of by any team. D JP l t PClTTN. ' 1919 Wm i Baseball Norton Qen[cr FielJ Stuart. W Right FielJ Bradford.

H P [Li ' Somewhere Over Here, Now. My Dear You: Every time I think of you my heart flops up and down like a churk -dasher ; sensations of unutterable joy caper over it like young goats over a stable roof, and thrill through it like a pair Spanish Needles through a pair of linen trousers. As a duck swimmeth in a mud puddle so swim I in a sea of glory; visions of ecstatic rapture thicker than the hairs of a blacking brush, and brighter than the hues of the humming bird ' s pinions visit me in my slumbers and hover on the invisible wing. Your image stands before me and I reach out to grasp it like a pointer snapping at a bluebottle fly. When I first beheld your perfection I was bewildered and my brain whirled round like a celler door in a country town, and I lifted up my ears to catch the silvery accents of your voice. Since the light of your face fell upon my life I sometimes feel as if I could lift myself up by my suspenders to the top of the church steeple. Day and night you are in my thoughts, when Aurora blushing like a bird rises from the safron colored clouds; when the jaybird pipes his melody in the apple tree by the spring house! when the chanticleers ' shrill clarion heralds the coming morn ; when the awakened pig goeth forth to his refresh- ments; when the drowsy beetle wheels its droning flight at sultry noontide, and when the lowing herd comes home, I think of thee; and like a piece of bum elastic my heart seems to stretch across my bosom. Your laugh rings in my ears like the music of a stray lamb on the hillside. The dimples on your cheeks are like the flowers in a bed of roses, or hollows in the cakes of homemade sugar. Away from you I am as melancholy as a sick rat; sometimes I can hear the June bugs of despondency buzzing in my ears, and I feel the cold lizzards o ' despair; uncouth fears like a thousand minnows nibblie at my spirit and my soul is pierced with doubt. If these few lines will enable you to see the inside of my soul, and assist me in winning your af- fection, I shall be as happy as a woodpecker on a cherry tree. If you cannot reciprocate my soul-mastering passion I will pine away like a poisoned house-fly, and fall from the flourishing vine like an untimely branch. And in coming years when the shadows grow from the hills and the philosophical frog sings his evening hymn, you, happy in another ' s love, can come and shed a tear and catch a cold upon the last resting place of Yours till death do us part. Me. lU [UJ (101) m @ :i a c fM } College Elections 1 f 1 GST Popular Student: Hinlon was awarded this well deserved honor. However, Coulliette ran a close second. Hinton probably won because of his popularity with the Co-eds. Most Popular Co-ed: This was another close race, for all the Co-eds received a large number of voles. However, Margaret Henry had a few more followers, and to her goes the honor. Prettiest Co-ed: Popularity and beauty usually go together, and here we find no exception to the rule. Margaret claims that the boys simply will not let her study enough to make a passing grade. Man with Prettiest Eyes: No one who has ever looked into the lustrous, luminous, pathetic eyes of ' aughn Howard could doubt for a minute the result of this election. Vaughn has such pretty eyes that the Co-eds almost die of envy, and are only content to sit and gaze into his soul-stirring orbs. Man with the Biggest Foot: Howard again. The only saving feature in Howard ' s physiological make-up is that the beauty of his eyes prevents an observer from considering his feet so unusual. The institution had to charge him extra for the construction of a special table in the dining room that he could get his feet under. Biggest Liar: J. M. Metcalf. ' ea, he rivals even Anannias himself. And yet to hear his sonorous voice, you would think that he was the spirit of truth itself. He had a very close rival in Hugh Porter. Biggest Spendthrift: Who changes collars twice a day? Who uses ten cent soap, and gets every other shave at the barber shop? Who recklessly spends money joy riding on the B. R. L. P. ? Answer: the biggest spendthrift in school, John Oliver. Best Looking Man: Look! Who says he isn ' t good looking? Ladies, hold your hearts now, or else you will sigh in vain for their return. Yes, that is Elmer Hinton from Prattville. Man with the Best Voice: Edward Richardson was almost unanimously elected. He comes to us from California, and brings melody with him. He has captured the whole community by his wonderful voice. Man with the Brightest Future: Osie Lamb was elected to this position, probably because he made such a fine start during the Christmas Holidays. deYampert and Tipton tied for second place, but they were too greatly handicapped for victory. Biggest Eater: Strange to say the smallest man in the Senior Class was almost unanimously elected to this position. By long experience George Reynolds has learned to make the grits and gravy, the hash and biscuits disappear as if by magic. Biggest Loafer: Call for Mr. Stewart! Call for Mr. William Stuart! You won ' t find him in the College Hall. Look for him in his room, or better still, on Crooke ' s (102) Corner. He is just as familiar there as is the Traffic Cop. He does nothing but eat bananas, and coney islands, and flirt with the ladies all day long. Biggest Ladies ' Man: Herbert Byars was elected to this position simply because it is unquestionably true. Ladies ' hearts are as common to him as thorns on a blackberry bush. He says that it comes natural with him and that he makes no effort whatever to be as he is. Biggest Sleeper: Hugh Smith sleeps so much that he has worn out two beds since school opened. The only thing that makes him get up at all is the energy of the pangs of hunger which make him arise and seek sustenance. | Best Orator: Best of all the eloquent ones is U. S. Pitts. He is a splendid orator, and has already made a wonderful record in the various Oratorical Contests. Ugliest Man: Webb deYampert, better known as Buddy Wampus, has a phiz that rivals that of de Monk da Monk. But it is also true that the diamond has a rough exterior. For Buddy is one of the jolliest, best natured boys we know, and he is always a true friend. Most Popular Athlete: Shine Montgomery of B. A. C. and Central High fame was unanimously elected. Shine is a star in every branch of athletics, and is whollp unspoiled by his popularity. He is the same old Shme everywhere you see him. He is known and loved by his school mates and by the people of the city as well. Best Writer: Just read this Annual and you will see why Coulliette was elected to this place. He has won several medals for his essays, and we predicted for him a bright future in the literary world. Most Popular Professor: Big, jolly Professor Bourne was the favorite in this ballot. He always has a word and a smile for every body. He takes a great interest in athletics, and is never too busy to lend a fellow a helping hand. Freshest Rat: There are so many fresh rats that we hardly knew which would win, but the freshest of the fresh is Francis White. Wherever he has no business, you will find him; when he should be quiet, you will hear him. Still he is a likable fellow, and we have no doubt of the ability of the vigilance committee to care for him. Most Desperately in Love: Several fellows wanted this place to prove to their lady loves that they were true. However, Tipton has spoken of his Juvinia so often that we have come to believe she will become his better half e ' er long. He sits upon a bench night after night, and gazes at the serene moon, while his sighs remind one of the wind whispering through the green tops of a pine forest. Man With The Best Line: Hugh Porter won this place, not so much on the quality, as on the quantity of his product. He has a simply inexhaustible supply, nor does he hesitate to use it at all times, and upon all occasions. We can only wonder that his voice has not failed long ago under the strain.
