Duncan [6] FOREWORD IN AFTER years when time has mellowed the days spent on Sunshine Slopes delicious will be the retrospection, when pensive moments touch the chords of memory ' s sweet refrain. As the human mind is somewhat forgetful, even of the events and scenes most cherished by the individual, it is well to record the striking things we would like to remember in the years to come. For this purpose has this little volume been produced, and our hearts will he blessed if those who wander through its pages remember pleasantly the days spent on Sunshine Slopes. iS [7] SK ALMA MATER On the city ' s western border, Reared against the sky, Proudly stands our Alma Mater As the years roll by.

Stunt, as he insists upon declaring to the wurld, spent two ears of his life in Haiti, amid such hair-raising adventures and thrilling escapes that it is a wonder he is a member of this class. But Slunt is a whole-souled, capital fellow, and when not dreaming of Haiti is an interesting coiiversalicmalisl. I. nek with him in life! [19] S.R SENIOR CLASS HISTORY IN SEPTEMBER, 1917, there assembled on Sunshine Slopes a company of young men and women who have proved to be a part of what is now the Senior class of ' 21. We were ignorant, innocent Freshmen, just at the foot of the ladder of learning, although we felt that we were then standing on the top rung. Three of us were not exactly strangers on the hill at this time, since we had spent one, two and even three years in what is now the Simpson High School. While in this school we looked almost with envy upon the dis- tinguished college men, and our association with those noble fellows awakened within us high aspirations to go forward to these exalted heights. In 1918 came about the consolidation of Birmingham College and Southern University, which brought the Sophomore class from there to unite with the Sophomore class here. But in the struggles and trials of college life many worthy comrades have slipped from our grasp into various institutions of learning and vocations of life; until at the beginning of the first term in 1920 there were only ten in the class, and only two of these who started their college career at Southern. But at the mid-term three members of the Junior class were accredited with some work done on the outside of school which promoted them to the distinguished rank of Seniors. Now we stand thirteen strong — each a separate type of human being with his or her own individual characteristics, but all contem- plating the highest achievements in life. In our number there are three un- kn own quantities, one Student Volunteer, one Sunday School worker, five preachers and three co-eds. This is the last class which had its origin in the two schools under the presidency of Dr. Daniel at Southern and the acting presidency of Prof. Cole- beck at Birmingham. Our career has been continued under Dr. Daniel. Not only have we seen many changes in the faculty but the campus has been greatly beautified, the athletic field has been very much improved and a magnificent dormitory has been erected, also many other improvements have been made, which are great assets to the college. These four years have been long, so long, when we think of the time in years spent trudging along a rugged pathway filled with many hard problems and terrorizing examinations which took all the joy out of life; but they have been short, so short, when we think of them as filled, with pleasant memo - ries of our association, with the privilege of obtaining a college education which gives the future many possibilities to hold in reserve for us, thereby making our lives happier and more useful. Year by year as we have climbed upwards on the ladder of learning the horizon of our world has broadened, our view of life with its possibilities has expanded until now we can realize how infinitely small is our store of knowl- edge as compared to the many things yet unlearned. It is now that, our Freshman dreams, our Sophomore hopes, and our Junior prayers have been consummated and today we stand on the elevated pedestal of Seniority, ready to step forth and take our places in the world as college gi aduates. 1201 SR PROPHECY OF CLASS OF 1921 LISTEN. O ve men and women, youths and maidens, and little childr eMl Listen, all ye people, to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophet, who now speaketh unto you what hath been revealed unto him, even as it hath been decreed by the powers that be. For it has come to pass that the veil of the future hath been rent in twain, even as it was so rent in the days of the wise prophets of old, and the Spirit of Prophecy hath descended from the spheres to envelop my soul with her mystic power. Aye, I say unto you, men and women, youths and maidens, and little children of Birmingham, it hath been given unto me as the chosen one of this great and good people, the Class of 1921, to dream strange dreams, and to see strange visions of the glories of the years yet to be. Now it so happened when it was decreed that the future of the Class of 1921 was to be given into the hands of this, your prophet, to do with even as he listed, that he cried out in a loud voice of lamentation, saying: Whom am 1 that the future of this great and glorious class should depend upon me? What am I that the fate of these sterling young ladies and these gallant young men should rest upon the decision of one so humble of intellect, and so infirm (pf purpose? But behold! Even as the cry of weakness did ascend from the long- suffering soul of your prophet, a voice from the heavens spake unto him, even in the words of old, saying: Hear now my words. If there be a prophet among you, I will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream, and straightway, from the clouds of the centuries gone, and from the shadows already cast before by the coming events of the proverb, there appeared unto him the fair and lovely Spirit of Prophecy, the angel of Things to Come, and lo! she did with her mystic touch roll back the curtain of the dim Beyond from my prophetic vision, and did permit me to gaze at will down the long vista of things yet to be, that I might behold all things that now are, transformed into all things that they shall yet become even as it was so granted to the wise men of the past. And lo! as she drew back the curtain she pointed with a long, transparent finger down the avenues of a strange land, and opened her lips and spake unto me saying: Look! Listen! Prophesy unto the young men and young women of Birmingham-Southern College even these things which you herein behold. For as I looked into the land of the future I could see mighty changes that had taken place since our college days together. Great strides had been made along scientific lines, especially in the way of travel. I remembered what talent D. D. White showed along inventive lines, but had never dreamed that he would be able to perfect a torpedo that could carry several persons from Earth to Mars. Several of these torpedoes had been manufactured, but the news had not reached us that anyone had ever under- taken the trip. This country being overcrowded with inliahilaiils the ( overnmeni lliought :t best for some of the people to move to a planet that was le s inliaiiiled. Of course, it wanted to send some of the country ' s most noted people. And re- membering the Class of 1921 of Birmingham-Southern College a message was sent to White asking him to see if the Class would consider a move to this [21] ' ' ? . s.n new country. He and I were the only members of the Class that could be found, having lost sight of the other members for several years. White, being of an adventurous spirit, suggested that he and I undertake the trip by ourselves in his torpedo. After a little persuasion I consented to go, although I knew that Dana had never ventured very far with this machine. We set out on our long and perilous trip, which was very excitable. We were much more excited when we reached Mars, not knowing what might befall us in this new land. To our surprise we found a country and its in- habitants very much like the ones we had left behind. Our first object was to see the country. The first place we came to was the Capital, a city of several hundred thousand people. As it was Sunday morning we decided to go to the first Methodist Church. To our surprise Rev. S. M. Baker was the pastor. After hearing an excellent sermon we went home with our friend and classmate, and he told us that he was still running his candy and book store. And that he was having just as much trouble with it as he had at Birmingham-Southern College, and would very often have to show the invoice. We asked about the sort of government they had and, he told us that it was similar to the government in the United States. But that he was beginning to fear that it would become like the government of Russia, as Harry Denman had been elected president of the Republic. It being almost night we had to find a lodging place. Baker directed us to a hotel owned and in charge of Slim Neese and Mother Duncan. On the way down to die hotel we passed by a park. A great crowd was gathered here an d we could not imagine what was going on until a symphony composed of one hundred instruments began to play. We were standing there listening to the wonderful music when we spied Miss Annie Lee Warren play- ing a trombone. After the concert was over we went up to see our classmate, and she told us that she had not married yet, but that she was tooting her own horn to the tune of ten thousand dollars a year. After talking for awhile we made our way to the hotel, where we found Slim and Mother busy with their duties, but not too busy to stop and talk to old time friends. Slim told us that he was coaching the football team at the National University which was located in that city. Mother was running a barber shop in one corner of his hotel. While we were talking about the good old times we had had at old Bir- mingham-Southern College, W. P. Snuggs and J. Fred Sparks came in to put up for the night. Snuggs, through the aid of science, had been able to manu- facture a food very small in content, but containing a very high degree of food value. In demonstrating this food to us he said that a person going off on a long trip could carry enough in his vest pocket to do him for a week. We did not doubt Weyman ' s veracity, for we remembered how truthful he was in his college days. Sparks had just finished a political campaign for Mrs. Armstrong, who was in the race for mayor. He seemed to have no doubt but that she would be elected, as she had made a great impression upon the people in her city. In our conversation the name of S. L. Morgan was mentioned. Slim told us that Stunt ' s experience in Haiti had caused him to develop into the most renowned physician of that day. Having mentioned the different members of our class, it was now getting late, so we asked Slim to show us to our rooms, where we spent a peaceful night in a new land.

Since then our ranks have been depleted year by year, and now we stand on the brink of Seniordom with only a little more than a score. Not in the least dismayed, we are cour- ageous and will continue to do our part for Birmingham-Southern and through the Class of ' 22. Our record has been one of continual achievement and our men have made a record of being fighters to the last ditch. The three medals offered for track this year were won by members of our class. Some of our men have made a great record in football and other athletics. Nor is our record confined to the Athletic Field. Our fellows carry the same spirit into the class room. During the past year various medals were won. Our men have branched out into every phase of college activity and they have made enviable records. The Literary Societies are carried on the backs of some of our members, who have no peers in school in the art of debating and declaiming. Let us make our next year one of the highest in scholastic standing and noble achievement. And may this name remain with us after we have left this institution and entered upon the duties of life! We believe we can predict with safety that our men and our co-eds will in future years hold various positions of honor in the great field of the world. [251 S. l 50PHOnOR SOPHOMORE CLASS Officers F.

' Several editiors have sold like the proverbial ' hot cakes. ' They have amassed great worldly wealth. Gary Burchfield, J. H. Howell and J. D. Harris, on account of the early inspiration afforded by Professor Florent, have won world-wide acknowledg- ment for their musical ability. Burchfield plays a comb, Howell a Jew ' s harp, and Harris makes music with a dish-pan. Gordon Golson is the worthy author of ' My Success on the Old Park Bench. ' He says his only trouble has been in selling this fascinating piece of literature. ' A bad penny always comes back. ' Mike Norton didn ' t leave the athletic field for long. He now sells peanuts to the throng that gathers to watch the Howard bulldogs annually go down in defeat. Miss Miriam Milner ar.d Miss Ozello Glasgow have founded a home for old ladies who are mentally deficient and congenial to them. Among these old ladies are Miss Elizabeth Woodall and Miss Anna LaPpage. Miss Catherine Newsome won a blue ribbon last year for proving herself a truly great athlete. She says she attained her perfection by the ceaseless slinging of dishes and rolling-pins at her unappreciative husband. G. F. Roebuck, J. E. Barnes and M. E. Baker, out of their sympathetic, animal-loving hearts, are inaugurating a drive throughout Alabama for a home for bruised and badly torn up bulldogs. It seems that every fall, winter and spring, the number is prone to increase. Alvin Baker owns a hot-dog stand down in the center of the metropolis. Howard Stansell, a wonder critic, had an article in the paper the other night stating that Baker should add one more slice of pickle to his ham sandwiches, and that his hot-dogs are seldom hot. B. P. Hutto, through the great influence of one of the professors of olden days, has gained a position as instructor in the University of Chicago. He instructs a dozen janitors as to the most sanitary method of sweeping when the broom is lost. In his class are Demetruis Issos, P. L. Abernathy and Howard Yeilding. G. R. Stuart, Jr., Milton Griffin and Gaston Golson are carrying the monopoly of sign painting in Pratt City. They found their life calling when [28] SI ihey painted ' Sophs ' 23 ' on ihe lop of the Gym before the Sopli-I ' acully base- ball game back in 1921. Miss Lorena Norton lias started a Superannuate Home for superarniuate pet poodles. W. C. Green is her main support in this line. ' Miss Nelle Waldrep and Miss Pauline Sanders are exclusive niilliners in the thriving town of Squeedunk. They are a great help to the women of this community, for by their millinery the ladies are able to decide just what they don ' t want. In this same town J. W. DeYairipert has become a progressive business man. He is delivery boy for a corner grocery. Miss Elizabeth Crumley has monopolized the ' Busy Bee ' corner of a small town newspaper. Her talks are on ' How Married Women Can Put It Over Their Husbands. ' Miss Crumley has not married, but hopes some day to have the privilege of practicing what she preaches. Hurston Cooper has become a great merchant. He is the sole agent for a product of his own making, ' The Bald-headed Man ' s Hair Restorer. ' New- man Yeilding and S. V. Townsend are his co-workers. Yeilding holds the easy job — he is treasurer of the concern. Townsend is working much harder — he is chief salesman. W. S. Traweek and Redding Emens are the most faithful customers, and it is by their patronage that the concern is kept going. Francis White chose his life work in his early youth. He is conductor on the road that runs from Birmingham to Goodwater. His main duty, how- ever, is to inform the people when to get their partners for the tunnel. And I? Why, ' Foxy, ' I ' m taking a vacation for two weeks now. but next Monday I ' ll be traffic cop again. I [29] M —w - h s. SOPHOMORE CLASS POEM I ' ve a story to tell, if you ' ll listen. Of a class at old B. S. C. There ' s no use for ine to tell you. For this you can easily see. Yes, I mean the bunch of Sophomores, The liveliest gang in school; Though at times we leave bad impressions And some folks think us fools. I know we are always in trouble On account of throwing bricks; But what ' s a fellow ' s school life for If he can ' t spend it playing tricks? We always get caught in trouble, And then we have to run; But when we get a good piece off. We laugh and say: Gee! What fun! Of course sometimes we are blockheads. But take us one in all. We ' ll make the highest standard Unless we just happen to fall. We are a happy class of students, Striving to fight for the right. The teachers th ink we are hopeless, But we can be very bright.

Lanev [311 S.R [32] SR FRESHMAN CLASS PROPHESY I HAD SERVED for nearly six years in the Methodist llo pilal in IDkio. where I was associated in the work with two of my old schoolmates, Hale and Lefty Townsend, two eminent physicians, and also Miss Elizabeth Colvin, who had been my invaluable assistant in the operating room. Our work had been extremely trying and difficult, and I was reduced nearly to the state of nervous exhaustion when I received a cablegram from the Board authoriz- ing me to take a year ' s furlough to rebuild my strength in the States. So in the month of April, 1930, I packed up my troubles in my old kit bag and started. I caught the dinky little train to Kiobe, and upon arriving at the Ameri- can Hotel there a little short stocky chap rushed up to me, grabbed my hand and fairly shouted in my ear: Why, hello, Steve, you old crook, what in the name of goodness are you doing in this part of the world? I recoiled aghast from the violent demonstration of joy, and upon recovering my wits, recognized my old pal. Bill Anderson, who told me he was a broker in fish- poles, having just made a shipment to Smith, Burr Smith, of Frisco, who turned out to be the Andy, Roger and Herchel of B. S. C. days. Next morning I swung a taxi to carry me to the pier from which my ship was to sail. As I dropped a good American Iron Man into the mit of the smiling taxi-driver, I discovered beneath his sunburned hair the cheery face of Red Newsome, who greeted me warmly and asked me so many ques- tions that I could only say Yes, and rush on, just in time to get to the gangplank before it was raised. I shot a side-ways glance at the coolies load- ing baggage, and to my great amazement discovered Bill Saffarans and Grits Rice in the bunch, while Tom Sutter and Erwin Jackson appeared to be foremen of the gang. I was much surprised at this once debonair crew, who in years past had been the darlings of the ladies and caused the break- age of many a female heart. Fortune is a strange mistress, though, and her sons must obey her will. The voyage was made especially pleasant by a party of tourists, among whom I discovered Mr. and Mrs. Red Richardson I nee Hanchey 1 , Mile. Painter (our very own Myrtle, now a member of Metropolitan Grand Opera Co.), Mr. and Mrs. John R. Thompson ( Bitsy of Hill days), and last but biggest (in waist diameter, at any rate), my old time-honored, weather-beaten Iriend Sam Berry with his dearest about whom he used to rave and keep me awake at nights, with tales of love, etc. He insisted that Mme. Berry was a genius at hospitality, especially where good eats were concerned, and made me promise to visit him when I came near Camden, where he is now presi- dent of the Camden National Bank. We spent some very pleasant hours together, and found to our great amazement that Big Dave Evans was chief steward. Dave looked the part, with his big white chef ' s cap and black moustache, and he promised us a good feed; but some of us soon were wishing we had never seen anvthing to eat. The ship ' s doctor was sent to us, and we found the venerable pill-slinger to be none other than Port Florence. All he could do was to console us, and tell us that he was glad to see us and would send the Captain, who was Big Boy Hodges, in to see us. Sure enough, he did. but all Big Boy hail for us was a cheery smile and a brave Don ' t Weaken! (How could we?) The Golden Gate looked mighty hue to us. and upon our arrival at Frisco we took in the Pacific Coast Fair, then in full swing. True to life we found Cholly Walston and Cull Revel shouting Pea-nuts, five cents a bag! w , M . ■xT S ? ' C% ■ ■ a [34] vR vYith all the desperate energy with which they had yelled, ■ Holii ' em, Bir- mingham! , while Hix Howell and Miriam Black were running a red lemon- ade joint near where Homer Tyner had a Trip to the Moon. Knowing his earlier flights of fancy I didn ' t patronize him, my lite insurance having ex- pired, even though he insisted that in view of our old friendship I wouldn ' t have to put out for it. I found Allen Clark and Dwight Dark scheduled for an open-air Boxing Exhi-bishun, as the barker, Big Ellis, so loudly and valiantly proclaimed it. On the morning of the third day I swung a train to Chicago. The con- ductor (in whom I recognized Big Hoss Candy I gruffly demanded my ticket, and then broke into smiles on remembering me. He told me that Speedy Green, true to his name but false to truth, in the classroom, was engineer on the very train on which I was speeding toward Chicago, and that Henry Dark was fireman, and Pewee Abercrombie was Butch. Pewee offered me his whole outfit, he was so glad to see me; but I refused it all but a pack of chewing gum, in spite of my natural greed. We were eyed with keen interest by a portly gentleman who later informed me he was Homer Spelce, now selling cross-eyed needles for blind seamstresses. He told me that the Speer brothers were now pulling Big League stuff, as were also Chong Wheeler, Tanlac Burney, Ladies ' Man Stewart and Laney. Holliman and Jim Davidson were dentists, charging folks for hurting them, as he put it. It was a good joke, I thought — for him. In Chicago I found Boyd Crumley was clerk of the Imperial, where I stopped. He told me that Misses Lou Sloan, Mary Corley and Eloise San- ders, each under appropriate stage names, were appearing as Fairies in the Midnight Follies of the Winter Garden. He offered me a compli- mentary ticket in behalf of the management, Walter Wood, who it seems had laid his Bible down for the glamour of the footlights; and insisted that I go, as it would be specially good. I had to decline with regrets, as my train left at 7:00 P. M. and I had an appointment in New York for the following day. On leaving the hotel I bought a Herald from Genial Gene Waldrip, who told me he had married and divorced three times, his first wife being Bennie Howell, who left him because he insisted on chewing Mule. He said he was sick of love stuff and was quits for life. In New York I was driven to the Waldorf-Astoria by Cap ' n Eddie Lewis, of football fame. I expected him to say, Got anything to eat in here? as was his wont in days of yore; but instead he informed me that Barber and Cameron had just been put in the cooler for having engaged in a free-for-all in which all lamps involved had been smoked and Cameron ' s diminutive nose broken. He said the Vardaman brothers were in politics. Tank being now a real Senator, while Flat-Wheel was National Ag Commissioner. Bill Ellis was a veteran lawyer and Speaker of the House: and I could not but smile as I recalled his grandiloquent line of hoi air showered upon the class under ' Fessor Perry. Eddie also told me that Misses Myra Sharp and Ethel Mitchell were assisting Rat Redus in conducting a Rescue Mission on the South Side. While lounging in the lobby I ran across Benjamin Bohunk K?nimer, who told me he and the pious Abbott were running a chop suey joint in Chinatown, and that Still Hunter. Merrill. Kirkland and HoyI Levie were members of the otherwise Irish New York police force. In speaking before the National Conference of Stutient Volutileers, I was introduced by Mayo, who had for five years been a missionary to Africa. [35] 3 iT J SS I was bewildered to learn that the musical program was in charge of McBee, and that several special numbers were to be rendered by McBee ' s Merry Military Musical Menagerie. Was it come to this? I rushed out from the first conference and jay -walked across the street until stopped by a stalwart arm of the law with a curt Ye ' re pinched! On second look I found the worthy who held me so rudely to be Hoyt Levie, and upon telling him who I was (upon regaining my self-control I he changed his mind about pinching me and hustled me off to a corner drug store where be opened up his heart and pocket and bought me a dope. He told me that Mutt McCleskey was now the billionaire dope king, and that Rowland had made barrels of money in the Texas oil fields. He told me that he had married the finest girl in the world, pure Irish, and had a small family of thirteen. Of course that was an unlucky number: I didn ' t just get his drift here. He said Bice was running a sawmill somewhere in Arkansas, and that Theo Harris was a prizefighter, and Hobson Clark a traveling evangelist in the North Alabama Conference. Upon returning to the hotel I found a note signed by Miss Fay Hoover, secretary to Mr. R. Clyde Propst, now vice-president of Westinghouse Electric Mfg. Co., saying that Mr. Propst would call for me at 6:00 P. M. the following evening to take me to dinner at his home on fashionable Riverside Drive. True enough Shorty drove up at six on the dot in his magnificent Packard twin-twenty Kirmobile, which I later learned was designed by Mr. Leon Howard, chief consulting and designing engineer for the Packard Company. As I looked up into Shorty ' s cheerful face and felt my hand lost in his great paw, I could not but feel thrilled with a just pride that I had been his schoolmate in the Class of ' 24 and by my yells fought with him in the great games of the diamond and gridiron in the days of yore. He told me that Louie Sims was in charge of his legal department, and I rejoiced with him over the great distinction which Louie had attained in his profession. When I returned to the hotel I found a telegram from Rev. W. 0. Barrow, pastor of First Church in Birmingham, saying he knew I would pass through Birmingham on my way home and that I just must stop and speak at a special missionary service he was going to hold the following Sunday. This fit right in my plans, so I wired him my acceptance and left die next night, wending my way Southward, which I was really glad to do in spite of all my friends and former schoolmates I had encountered, as the weather though not severely cold was yet quite chilly, and I longed for the balmy breezes of the Gulf coast and my own little home town. Mobile. I duly arrived in Birmingham and spoke at Preacher ' s famous old First Church, where I had spent so many happy hours of work and worship; and as I noticed Bishop Scrivner and Rev. Davidson (our Perry and Arlee of Sunshine Slopes), I recalled with a smile the great mirth I had caused them with my gallant but unsuccessful attempt to address them as Friends, Romans and Countrymen in Freshman Declamation tryout in ' 21. I wondered if I should make such a break here; fortunately I did not. Having bid goodbye to my friends in Birmingham I swung the first southbound L. N., which I learned was still affectionately called Number One, and headed southward to see my best and only girl, not Mother, as some folks call it, but simply Mama, as she had taught it to me. Fate was peculiarly kind to me in giving me a chance to see so many of the old gang, but first love is truest, and my heart was thrilled with the thought of home and mama as the flagman bellowed Mobile! 136] -J ) f W SR L Au v r THE SIMPSON SCHOOL Preparatory [371 FACULTY John M.

Jenks, a hard and peppery worker himself, instilled the old fight into his proteges that made the Panthers fight to the finish in every gridiron struggle. Red Richardson Guard ' Red hails from Goodwater High, this being his initial appearance in Panther uniform. He played a consistent game at guard, keeping up the old fight from start to finish. We are expecting great things from Red during the coming season. Jim Baty Quarterback James Marvin completed his gridiron career with a spectac ular climax during the past season, giving valiant services to his Alma Mater. Jim, the heaviest of the backs, proved an excellent field general and was one of the best line plungers on the squad. He showed great stuff against the heavy Auburn line, especially in running the team. Cave Man Miller Fullback The only original hero of the 1920 season, was shifted from end to fullback. He pulled the greatest feat of the season by running 65 yards for a touchdown against Spring Hill, thus bringing home the bacon for our dear Alma Mater. Eppa Speer End This was Ewart ' s first year in college football, but his lack of experience was no hindrance to him, for he practically made the interference of the opponents tiseless by his effective blocking. Ewart was handicapped in the latter part of the season by a serious injury, Greek Griffin Halfback Greek ' s college football career started in the game with Vandy, where he made one of the most sensational runs of the season. Greek is one of our most brainy players and should go good with the learn next year. Dave Evans Guard This is Dave ' s second year on the Panther squad and he showed real stuff as a linesman. When called upon he never failed to deliver the goods. His greatest trick was reaching over the line and grabbing the opposing quarter before he could deliver the ball. Fred Brinskelle Halfback Brins hails from St. Bernard, where he made for himself a brilliant record. He continued his good work for the Panthers last season. When holes in the line were nix, he did not hesitate to rival Locklear in his aerial stunts. His loss will be greatly felt by the Panthers. [48] SR [49] W i.1 Shorty Propst (Captain-elect) Center Shorty is the wonder man of the Panther aggregation. If in any doubt of this statement consuh anyone who saw the Auburn game in Montgomery. Shorty was mentioned for all-Southern center, and in our estimation he deserves this honor. His ability as a leader stands out to the extent that his team-mates have chosen him as the 1921 captain. ' Eddie Lewis (Captain) Halfback Eddie was chosen captain of the 1920 team and has shown himself a very capable leader. Eddie proved himself one of the leading punters of the South as well as a consistent ground gainer. The «quad is placing great hopes in him for the coming season. Charlie Brown Coach Coach Charlie led the Panthers to the championship of smaller colleges of the South, a well-deserved honor to the team and its coach. Football is Brown ' s game, and he showed his knowledge by bringing his team to the forefront. Tanlac Burney Quarterback Tanlac proved himself a very capable field general this season. It is regretted that he will not be back next season. Grits Rice Substitute With this year ' s experience on the Scrubs, along with his size, Grits should become a star defender of the Gold and Black. ' Bill Saffarrans End Bill developed wonderfully in college football this season, holding down a wing position on the Panther aggregation in grand style. Much is expected of him in the future. HoYT Levie Substitute Although Hoyt did not make his letter this year, he has at least three more years with us and should develop into another Sig. Bear Hodges Guard Big-Un made a wonderful record in his first season on the Panther team. Never did he fail to stop the rushing backs of the opposing eleven. He is a veritable brick wall! Senator Vardaman Substitute Although Senator did not make his letter, he showed real stuff as a football player. [50] SI Bob Rowe End Bob is officially noniinateii and unaniniously elected lo llie office of the Original Hard Luck Guy! He ' s the human mishap on the gridiron. Bob was showing U[) well on the wing position wlien he popped a collar bone in the first quarter of the season. His place was extremely hard to fill. Maynard Baker End Baker showed exceptional ability as a gridiron performer this year. He is a product of the Albertville Aggies. He held down the wing position in great style and is expected to perform with greater style next year. He is death on receiving forward passes. ' Hoss Gandy Tackle Hoss is a linesman from his heart, being mentioned among the premier tackles of the South. Hoss is superior, both offensively and defensively, to most of his opponents. Coop Green Tackle Ma played a consistent game at tackle during the season. Many an opponent has been unable to solve the problem of getting around him. It cannot be done! ' Slim Neese Guard What ' s in a name, anyway? Slim, the sole wearer of four honor stripes, has rendered four seasons of the most valuable service. His work will live long in the memory of the Panther followers. Curly Clark , Substitute Curly did not make the team this year, as it was his first attempt at the pigskin game. However, he shows the making of a good player. Mike Norton Quarterback Mike handled the team with great skill and could always be depended upon to find a hole in the line when it was thought impossible that there was such a thing. Mike has two more years with us, during which time we expect him to hold up the reputation of his noted family. Bo Bagley Center Although Bo had stiff competition for the center berth, he did not fail to cinch himself a place on the 1920 gridiron eleven by his hard and enthusiastic work. GoLSON Substitute Golson is noted for his drop kicking. We believe that he will make good on the Varsity in the near future. Fred Burks Mascot. To Rattlesnake, the mascot de luxe, belongs the major portion of the credit for a championship grid coinl)inatioii, the Panthers themselves assert. Ever present on the practice field — the loudest rooter on the field of battle — this chubby little fellow will ever be the brightest jewel in the season ' s golden casket of memories.

THE STUDENTS who are interested in track work at Birmingham-Southern are particularly fortunate in having an excellent cinder oval on which to train. Thanks to the generosity of our true friend, Mr. Munger, this quarter- of-a-mile track borders the athletic field, making a veritable frame around the splendid diamond. We can now boast of having, perhaps, the best athletic field in the South.

ONE THING essential to a well-ordered educational institution is a library equipped and administered according to modern library standards. Students of Birmingham-Southern College are peculiarly fortunate in their library facilities. They have access to the College Library of 15,000 volumes and to the City Library of 80,000 volumes — the largest Public Library in the State. Both libraries are under supervision of an efficient staff. [54] S.K Lillian Gregory Librarian Graduate Dr. A. B.

Florent Director DURING THE year 1920-1921 a beginning was made toward the organiza- tion and equipment of a permanent brass band in Birniingham-Soutliern College. Realizing how great a contribution the band makes to the morale of student life and to college spirit, the Class of 1921 decided to leave a permanent memorial to itself in the life and love of the College by startim; the movement to equip the band with the more expensive instruments. It decided to buy the first horn and present it to the College as a nucleus around which the band should grow. The movement was taken up by the other classes, and by the faculty and friends of the Institution, so that already an ambitious beginning has been made toward the full equipment of a splendid brass band. Prof. Florent is an experienced and able director, full of lively musical pep. Under his able leadership the band has done splendid work in the short time of its existence.

Locke, Chief Pathologist, Emory University, Atlanta, Ga. My dear Bill: BY THIS time I suppose you and Mosley are getting a pretty good line on those Freshman Pathological Students at old Emory. My plans were to stop off and see you on the way home, but I found that I would not have time, without missing a train. You may be somewhat surprised to receive a letter from me postmarked Birmingham, after receiving those from Wembo-Niama, Africa. Since Still Hunter and I with our wives left here in June, 1928, Birmingham has grown so much I would hardly have recognized it at all. but of course there are some old friends and kinsfolk here whom I am delighted to see. It has been a rare privilege to serve suffering humanity out there in Africa, especially since we got our hospital established and Elizabeth Colvin arrived to have charge of the nursing. But I suppose Mother sent you a copy of the letter in which I told of some of the experiences we have been having, so I expect you will be more interested in our trip home. This was one of the most interesting trips you could imagine, especially so on account of the pleasant surprises. When we got to London we decided to visit the Walter C. Jones Hospital, since we had two days wait-over before our ship was to sail. You can hardly imagine my surprise when we found E. R. Emens as the Chief Surgeon there. He was in the midst of an operation, but rather than miss seeing one of our old college chums, we waited for him. When he came to his office, he seemed about as much surprised to see us as we had been to find him there. We had talked together only a few minutes when he received a ' phone message to come to the third floor for a short con- sultation. He excused himself and was gone only a short while. When he returned, who should be with him but Hershel Nolen, whom he advised us is Chief Orthalmologist and Roentgenologist. Needless to say, we had a jolly good time together, and the principal topic of discussion was the other fellows who were members of the Pre-Medical Association with us at old B. S. C. Emens told us that C. C. Russell had just recently been elected as President of the American Medical Society, and is located in New York, with an office in the Woolworth Building. Mother had written me that B. S. C. has become one of the leading Medical Colleges of the South, but not knowing that W. 0. Holliman was in College there at the same time we were, had failed to tell me that he now holds the Chair of Dermatology and Neurology there. Emens also said that E. L. Glenn is Physiologist there, and C. Q. Tervin the Obstetrician-in-Chief. Nolen took us home with him, and the wait-over in London, which we had dreaded, turned out to be a source of real pleasure. Not until we were about ready to board our ship, did I notice from our passage that we were to return on the Townsend-Isos. Naturally, my curiosity was aroused as to the meaning of the name of the ship, but it had to remain unsatisfied until we got aboard and I had a chance to speak to the [64] S.R Captain. He told me that this ship had been built and formerly used as a hospital ship, and had been named for S. V. Townsend and D. N. Isos, in honor of their great service in curbing the epidemic of yellow fever in the United States in 1930. Just before sunset the second day on board, Still came rushing to our cabin to tell me he had met up with W. D. Webb and R. A. Baker, who were on board, returning to America, after having been in Berlin for three years, where they had been engagd in research work in the Medical College which Helen Haggard established, and which bears her name. When we reached New York, we had only a few hours before time for our train, but ran up to see Russell for a short while and congratulated him on his recent success. He, too, seemed quite surprised to see us. Knowing that he and Dave Evens were formerly such good friends, I asked him what had become of Dave, and he told me that he is Consulting Physician at the Institute for Feeble-Minded at Tuscaloosa. He also told us that he had just received a letter from Dave, saying that Hoss Candy had just been sent there to recuperate. He lost his mind in trying to figure out the difference between the Mendalian Ratio and Mendel ' s Law of Genetic Purity. I had decided to stop over a day in Richmond with Still, and as we drove out to his home, I noted a sign which read: Crawford and deYampert, Undertakers and Funeral Directors on one of the nicest buildings in the vicinity. I called Still ' s attention to it, and we decided to stop and see if it could possibly be that this was the same deYampert we had known at B. S. C. One glance was sufficient to convince us that it was, and that his partner was none other than T. N. Crawford, who was also a member of our Pre-Medical Association. When I expressed surprise that they should be in the under- taking business instead of being physicians, they assured me that it was a cold business proposition, for they had decided that their present business would be more profitable in Richmond, where 0. B. Ellis and F. B. Riggan had established a hospital, than the practice of medicine elsewhere. The splendid building in which they were located and the splendor of the furnish- ings gave evidence of the fact that their business had been more than profitable. But my surprises were not yet ended, for when I got home and was glancing over the newspaper the other night, what should I behold but an article on the front page, telling of the verdict of suicide which had been reached by the Jefferson County Coroner, Dr. E. E. Waldrep, in a recent mysterious death case which had engaged the attention of the whole State. Please write me soon and tell me all about what has happened, for I have been away so long I have not been able to keep up with all the medical discoveries made in America.

Clark [67] sn COLLEGE ELECTIONS Most Popular Student: J. M. Neese. He won this enviable honor by being one of the most congenial chaps in existence. Dimples hits him right! When you are in the dumps, see Slim. Most Popular Co-ed: Marjory Craig. Oh, Muse, why do you scheme to make woman man ' s endless theme? This lady ' s manner and kindly smiles will traverse man ' s affections many miles. Prettiest Coed: Catherine Williams. From last year ' s most popular Co-ed Catherine has ascended or descended to this position. Several others counted a number of votes in this race. Best Athlete: J. M. Neese. If a sturdy warrior ever deserved this worthy place, Slim surely does! This lad of 200 pounds has played the old game consistently for four years, bringing upon his name honor and just fame. He will be sorely missed in the Panther squad in the future seasons. Most Desperately in Love: Beauregard Bagley. Call for Mr. Bagley. He is again thrust into the limelight, although Dan Cupid and I are not ready to pass judgment on which of the ladies it is. Man With the Biggest Feet: Clyde Propst. It takes a couple of traffic cops to keep Clyde ' s feet from running amuck when he goes to town. It is rumored that he will have to pay license on them. Man With the Brightest Future: Harry Denman. If the average man argued with the faculty as much as Harry does, his future would soon be sad history. Handle large things as well, boy, and your future will outshine the sun. Best Looking Man : Bob Rowe. Hodge was the next man on the list, but if you check over the list of votes you will find that Bob cornered the Co-ed market. Biggest Eater: O. B. Ellis. This lad has a horror of allowing any food to waste. He has no special dish, just eats . Slum Gullion and other mysteries of MacSwinney Hall disappear before his mighty onslaught. If Howard ' s football line were gingerbread he would lead our team to victory. Biggest Loafer: Jack Stuart. This chairman of the light committee is sorry that a man has only one appendix. The majority of his time is spent under the shade trees in front of Science Hall. His motto: Sophomore Forever. Man With the Best Voice: Albert Branscomb. This is the man with the raven lock. With a bass voice deeper than a Shanghai cock. When we lose Albert from the hill, A gap will be left that ' s hard to fill. In any activity he is no lout. And, as fellows go, he is a cracking good scout. Biggest Ladies ' Man: Beauregard Bagley. Although he doesn ' t wear his hair in curls. He has charmed the hearts of all the girls. Ugliest Man: J. W. deYampert. Buddy is holding this place now only by precedent. Many a guy gave a sigh of relief when they learned he was elected. Francis White was his greatest rival. Freshest Rat: William Richardson. The only reason Goodwater did not cop this place last year was because she did not have the young representatitve. If this boy holds his pace he will oust Bagley out of his job next season. Best Orator: J. F. Sparks. This man ' s silver tongue is used with all its might. Sometimes for the faculty, but more often for the right. Man With the Prettiest Eyes: Greek Griffin. Could any Greek have a more soulful look From the depths of his orbs as clear as a brook? It will bear to repeat, though the fact is well known, This is the reason young girls leave home. Most Popular Professor: H. C. Nixon. Sailor Joe brought over the latest trouser fad from gay Paree. He also brought one of the most likable personalities the faculty has afforded in many a moon. Man With the Best Line o ' Bull: Harry Denman. Cows may come and cows may go, but bull goes on forever. The possession of this marvelous faculty is a great gift, and Harry appreciates this fact. He cultivates it at every opportunity; for instance, every morning in Chapel.

ALWAYS PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS SUMMER CAMPS for YOUNG FOLKS WHERE? WHEN? WHAT? AT LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. C. For Older Boys (Ages 15, 16, 17) July 28-August 12 For Young People (Ages 18 to 23) August 12-26 The General Sunday Schuol Board will hold this summer at Lake Junaluska the two camps denoted above. This beautiful lake is an ideal spot for a camp, situated in the Blue Ridge Mountains, twenty-five miles from Asheville, N. C. Swimming, boating, nature study, athletics, games and mountain climbirg are among the attractions. The aims of these camps are: 1. Wholesome recreation in God ' s out of doors. 2. The opportunity to consider the great things of life under outstanding Christian leaders. 3. To provide for the fourfold needs of hoys and girls and to introduce them to the Wesley Class Program. 4. To train boys and girls for more efficient service in their own Church and Sunday school. These camps offer the richest possibilities of which we know for deepening the religious life, for stimulating ideals, fir capturing the leadership of the future, and for training for service. E. R.

[«7] He who first shortened the lal)unr of copyists Ijy device of movable types, was disbanding hired armies and cashier- ing most kings and senates and creating a whole new democratic world: He had invented the art of printing. — Carlyle. ONE OF THE questions Mr. Edison propounds to the college student is WHO INVENTED PRINTING ? Can you answer it? Neither can we— nor can Mr. Edison. But whoever he was we revere his memory, and strive to honor him by being worthy students of an illustrious preceptor. His workshop and tools were no doubt primitive, yet with these crude implements he crave to the world a priceless heritage. His spirit has lived through tiie centuries embodied in such immortal historical characters as Faust, Gutenberg, Franklin and DeVinne. to say nothing of their semi-historical and traditional Chinese predecessors of the dim prehistoric ages. The basic principle of the art as laid down by the inventor remains unchanged to this day. yet many improve- ments have been made: His types of clay and wood have been supplanted by more substantial characters cast in metal, as well as by the product of the Linotype; his little wooden press by the giant Goss and Miehle; his pulp-making tub by the Fourdrmier machine; his engraver ' s chisel by the photographer ' s screen. While honoring the memory of the inventor let us not forget those of the craft who have followed after him, perfecting the art. Like the Greek runners of old who bore in relays the lighted torch to the goal, so these have carried on, holding aloft the torch that l. ' as lighted the path of civilization. S. B. KLIPPELT.

It will be unwise for you to decide on a college until you have investigated the advantages offered here! The faculty: In character, Christian; in scholarship and experience, the equal of any in the State. Its course of study, including Languages, History, Science, etc., is complete and liberal, leading to the degrees of A.B. and B.S. Its recognized Department of Education secures complete recog- nition for its graduates from the State Board.
