Doubtless no institution of similar nature ever experienced a more rapid growth of college spirit than that which has so gloriously budded and blossomed in the school this year. In this annual every department of the school, every phase of the college life has been given space. But how to represent each part in its due proportion has indeed been difficult. While we have found it easy to exploit our achievements in athletics — scores talk for themselves — we have discovered how nearly im- possible it is to transcribe in black and white that deep, earnest spirit of true fellowship so prevalent at Centenary. But in sending forth this little volume we hope that the reader may catch something of this spirt of New Centenary. Liili YONCOPIN, 1922 DR. GEORGE S.

Page eight pprmatinn THERE was an Old Centenary College, from whose halls came hundreds of the most stalwart men of the nation. From Centenary came men who in pre-war days de- fended Anglo-Saxon liberty and states rights against the ever encroaching ideas of communism and Centralization. From Centenary, after the Civil War, came men whose undaunted souls became a bulwark against an overturned social system and the more dangerous political menace of Reconstruction. Then her strength abated until her past was only a memory of other days. Her glory was only a dream. There is a New Centenary College on the verge of taking its place again among the leading colleges of the South. Men have put the old dream into reality. These men, coming from all denominations, bonded together in the Rotary Club of Shreveport, have raised for the college an endowment fund that has put the school on a firm foundation and made possible a future that shall outrival the past of this Southern institution. For largeness of vision, for untiring zeal, for personal sacri- fice and effort, the students of Centenary College render thanks to the Rotary Club. Students 1922. Page YONCOPIN, 1922 History ox Centenary College ENTENARY COLLEGE has a most historic past and the brightest of pros- pects lor the future. It received the name Centenary because its history as a Meth- odist institution reaches back to 1839, the one hundredth year after the organiza- tion of the first Methodist society in England by John Wesley, when the first centenary offerings were taken for Christian education. The college was first located at Brandon, Miss., but as this location proved unforLunaie in every respect, it was moved in 1845 to Jackson, La. In moving to Jackson, Centenary College had selected a most historical spot, for there, years before, Ponce c!e Leon in his search for the Fountain of Youth had camped upon the crystal waters of Thompson Creek, naming it Rio Feliciana. The spot on which the college was built was never owned by France, as Mr. Horton, the owner of large tracts there, had purchased it from France. After the battle of New Orleans, General Jackson, with his Tennessee army, camped on the banks of the Rio Feliciana, and the citizens, in patriotic ardor, changed the name of their town from Bun- combe to Jackson. The state of Louisiana, in 1825, had founded a state college at Jackson. This college, however, had proved a failure, and it was this property that the Methodist con- ferences of Louisiana and Mississippi purchased in 1845, when Centenary College was moved. At Jackson, Centenary entered upon a brilliant career. During this period the college was well known throughout the South, nearly every family of prominence in the public life of the state being represented there. Indeed, the hrtory of this old pioneer college of the Southwest is commingled and interwoven as warp and woof with the history of the country, many of its alumni being men who have been distinguished in the affairs of the state, the South, and the nation. There is a tradition that Jeffer on Davis took a special course in Spanish at Centenary, and it is certain that Judah P. Benjamin, secre- tary of state in the Southern Confederacy, was a student in its halls. Charles Parlange, lieutenant-governor of the state, and C. J. Boatner, a brilliant lawyer and member of congress, were both students at this school; also E. John ElHs, Unitel States senator and a national figure in his day. Judge Ben Spencer was an alumnus of old Centenary, and while at school there wrote many of his famous speeches. Judge J. C. McVea and Judge Charles McVea, distinguished jurists; Dr. C. W. Carter, one of the brainiest men the Methodist Church ever produced; Dr. L. C. Perkins, Judge Anthony Sambola, Dr. Whyte G. Owen, Judge Charles Kilbourne, Judge George Wcodside, the Fullilove brothers, Amos J. Ponder, Judge A. J. Murff, and the Pharr brothers all received their degrees from old Centenary. The Holcombe brothers, too — A. R. and W. P., now located in New York, one a writer on a big New York daily, the other a prominent electrical engineer — graduated at Centenary. Members of the recent constitutional con- vention who could call Centenary their Alma Mater were Paul G. Barron, Charles Page ten YONCOPIN, 1922 Holcombe, E. A. Pharr, and O. H. Simpson, the latter being secretary of both State Senate and constitutional convention. A list of the prominent Methodist ministers of the state includes these from Centenary: N. E. Joyner, R. N. Harper, R. H. Wynn, C. C. Miller, A. S. Lutz, S. J. Davies, P. M. Brown, and others too numerous to mention. As all Southern institutions did, Centenary suffered from the hardships of the Civil War and the poverty of the reconstruction days. Collegiate work was almost entirely suspended, there being no graduates from 1861 to 1868. During the war a company of soldiers was organized from the student body of the school, and most of these young lives were laid down in behalf of the state and the South they loved so well. The build- ings were for a time used as a hospital base for the Confederates at Port Hudson, and were later occupied by the Federals. Back of these old buildings, under the spreading branches of great beeches, there was a Confederate graveyard. During the reconstruc- tion period Centenary College had a struggle for its very existence, and its salvation was due largely to the personal work of Bishop Keener, who secured money to tide it over the crisis. After Centenary had successfully weathered this period, it began again its great work, maintaining a place of commanding influence in both Louisiana and Mississippi. In 1 892 Millsaps College opened its doors in Jackson, Miss. With the loss of sup- port and changed conditions, it soon became evident that it would be impossible for the church of Louisiana to permanently maintain Centenary in Jackson, though excellent work was done there until the doors were closed in 1905. The previous year the Shreve- port Progressive League had made a proposition to the Louisiana Methodist Conference Page eleven to move Centenary College to Shreveport. Negotiations were conducted, and Mr. J. W. Atkins ' offer of forty acres of land in Gladstone Heights was accepted. Work was begun immediately, and the doors of the college were again opened in the fall of 1908. The first president of the institution in Shreveport was Dr. W. L. Weber of Georgia, under whom gratifying progress was made. Dr. Weber was succeeded by Dr. Felix R. Hill, who served until his death in 1918. Dr. R. H. Wynn was elected to fill the vacancy. During his administration the college passed through another difficult period, but he succeeded in interesting the people and led an endowment campaign which was successful for the amount asked — $50,000. Dr. Wynn resigned the presidency in 1919, and Dr. William R. Bourne was elected. Under his leadership a program of expansion and construction was begun. At the beginning of his second year Dr. Bourne was released at the earnest solicitation of the director-general of the educational campaign of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, to assist in the larger work of organizing the alumni of various colleges. He resigned in January, 1921, and was succeeded by the present incumbent, Dr. George S. Sexton. Under Dr. Sexton ' s wise leadership Centenary College has already made most remarkable progress. With such a man, who has already proved himself a natural leader, at its head, and with the increased endowment through the educational campaigns of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and through the munificence of the General Education Board of New York City, the future and perma- nent usefulness of the institution is assured. The history of Centenary would be incomplete without something of the library. It contains over three thousand volumes of both ancient and modern literature. There are books of science, history, philosophy and literature that date back into the past centuries, there being a few old editions of 1680 and hundreds of others of the early part of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Also among the priceless possessions are huge folios of rare engravings of Shakespearean literature. In their day these folios were worth thousands of dollars, and today, as there is no longer another such copy extant in America, no estimate can be made of their value. These folios are an American edition from the original copper plates of Boydell ' s Illustrations of Shakespeare, which was a collection of steel engravings from sixty-seven painters of the eighteenth and early nine- teenth centuries. England put out an edition of these folios by an act of appropriation of parliament, but as this appropriation was not large enough, the edition was inferior to the one put out in America. The original plates were brought over from England in 1842, and the American edition was brought out in 1848 under the signatures of Wash- ington Irving, Audubon (naturalist and artist), John Van Buren (later president), Robert Morris, Horace Greeley (editor), Harper and Brothers, James W. Gerard, S. F. B. Morse (inventor), Wm. C. Bryant (poet), Alexander H. Stevens (M.D.). and about twenty other famous Americans. There are enough of these folios to have a Shakespearean gallery, which is soon to be constructed. When this gallery is completed it will be the only one of its kind in America. In addition to these, there is a collection of hand-colored prints of all the Indian tribes of America, and some excellent prints of Page twelve YONCOPIN, 1922 the matchless Audubon drawings. In Centenary ' s library is also to be found a polyglot Bible, which contains the whole Bible in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, Gaelic, and English. While at various times in her history Centenary College has been greatly in need of money and the value of this old library would have tided it over many a crisis, it has been preserved for the classic old institution, Centenary College of Louisiana. The presidents who have served at Centenary from 1841 are: Rev. T. C. Thorn- ton, D.D.; David O. Shatuck; Judge A. B. Longstieet, LL.D.; Rev. R. H. Rivers, D.D.; Rev. B. M. Drake, D.D.; Rev. John C.

Weber; Dr. Felix R. Hill; Dr. W. R. Bourne, and Dr. George S. Sexton. Much could be said of those who have taken part in the building of Centenary and tho:e who are still lending a helping hand, but Centenary Co ' lege, which stands for such high degrees of morals and righteousness, is a fitting reward for their tireless efforts.

We believe that we have achieved a degree of success that will inspire us on to greater achievements. As freshmen our path was darkened by two external event;. Quile a few were called from our class to military service during the great war. Some of this number paid the supreme sacrifice. It was during this year that the influenza plague swept over our country, and because of the gaps made by this scourge our ranks were weakened. But after being daikened by these two events our path was brightened by one of the greatest victories ever known to a naticn of people — that cf the defeat of Germany. We are saddened because of those in our class who could not return to our class from this conflict, but we are proud of the fact that we were represented on that greatest bat ' lefield in the world ' s histcry. Aside from these external influences that left their impress upon us, there were the usual discouragements that come lo the freehman. But the very fact that we had these things to confront us made us the more determined to go higher in literary endeavor. We said among ourcelves, We like to be freshmen, but we want to show those sophs that we can be sophs, too. As sophs we were small in number, but we had grit and courage. Then it was that we began lo feel our impoitance. It fell our lot to lay down the rul;s to the freshies and mak? those juniors watch their step. As juniors we continued to make the most of our opportunities. As seniors we gained in individual prestige what we lost in mere numbers. Our stay at dear old Centenary seems to have passed loo hurriedly. We sometimes wish that we could live again these four years. The memory of those thing; that once seemed drudgery is the fondest of our pleasures now. The midnight hours that were spent in study were pleasant hours after all. Oh, that we only knew that all life ' s journey would be as smooth traveling as that portion over which we have just traveled! May we always be engaged in those pursuits that will bring us much gladness with as little toil as those pursuits that have occupied our attention during our college course. Beyond a doubt the happiest days in any of our lives have been spent within the walls and around the campus of our dear old Alma Mater. It would be extremely difficult lo mention the occasion; that were of greatest interest to us. There are the socials and weekly programs given by the Union Literary Society. The memory of the contests on the athletic field will doubtless linger ' for a time in our minds. Not a few are the conflicts in which we fought courageously for our Alma Mater. We believe that the participation in ihese athletic activities has a certain quality within us that would not have entered our lives through any other avenue. The memory of each member of ihe faculty is dear to our hearts. Whatever we achieve in life will be due largely to the principles of high and holy living that were instilled in our hearts by them. Our words refuse to express our feeling toward them. We have purposed in our hearts that we will live such lives as will reflect honor upon those who were our patient instructors in college. There is one name that is revered by us — the name of one who was a sharer of our every joy and every sorrow. His advice was always final with us. When a problem confronted us that was loo difficult for us to solve, in him we could confide. He understood us, cheered us up, fathered us, and always held the highest ideals before us. This was Dr. Smith. We have reached the height that has been before us for a long time. But today we do not look upon that height in the same light that we once looked upon it. We no longer look upon it as the summit of life ' s mountain side, but merely a step toward that summit. We feel that we are now betler able to climb to that mountain top. We believe that our task has been faithfully performed, because we are more eager to climb today than at any time in our past history. Page in enty-five YONCOPIN, 1922 Senior Class R.

Page thirty-three YONCOPIN, 1922 The Student s Soliloquy (Apologies lo Shakespeare) To study or not to study, that is the question. Whether ' tis nobler in the mind to suffer The fatigues and toils of outrageous study, Or to defy the order of the prof.. And by cutting class end it all? To cut; To study no more; and by cutting to say we end The class and a thousand natural shocks The student is subject to. To cut, to study no more; Perchance to fail — aye, there ' s the rub. For on that report what grades may come. When we have flunked the term exam, Must give us pause; there ' s the respect That makes our cutting class of so short life, For who would bear the tortures of study, The prof ' s frown, the hours of labor. The pangs of studying, pleasures delayed For five little demerits? Who would these book; read. To grunt and sweat for the sake of learning; But that the dread of something at the term ' s end. That awful exam through which No cutter of classes passes, puzzles the will ; And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus the prof, doth make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o ' er with the pale cast of fear. And many a one whose inclination is to cut With this regard, he sta,ys in study hall, Bending over the book. Mattie Adelle McClenaghan.

Page forl ' j-four Page forty-five YONCOPIN, 1922 HMiiiiiiiiitiiiipsfiffiiirs pi s a Uncle Phil REMEMBER well when I was only a little girl in p na fores and lived on the plantation in a big colonial house. The house was almost hidden, so thickly grew the masses- of tall and stately evergreens and shrubbery and the oaks which bordered the long, winding driveway. Even to this day the odor of magnolia and lilacs awakes in my memory the good times I had playing hide-and-seek and making doll houses under those shady boughs. The face of old Aunt Susan, my black mammy, who watched over me in those early years, is often before me; but the cne colored person on the whole plantation who meant most to me was Uncle Phil. Grandfather often took me with him up on his horse as he rode through the fields of cotton to see how the crops were maturing. He kept his arms around me while I sat in front of him, holding on tight to the saddle. And I always begged him to stop by Uncle Phil ' s before we went home. One Sunday afternoon, when I was about seven, just as we were leaving the table, grandfather whispered to me: Run get your hat and meet me down at the stables. ' ' As we were pals, I never needed a second invita- tion, and, joining him a little later, we rode away on his fine Kentucky thoroughbred, Lexington. The fields were white with ripening cotton, acre after acre looked just as if it had been snowed under the night before. After we had ridden several miles we could see the chimney of Uncle Phil ' s log cabin in the distance. I said at once: Grandfather, please take me by Uncle Phil ' s for just a little while. All right, said grandfather. Did I ever show you where Uncle Phil ' s master and mistress lived in the days before the Civil War? No, grandfather; where is it? It ' s just about half a mile through these pines. There ' s not much left to show you where the house stood — just piles of brick here and there — but I want to take you to the spot. And as we rode over the carpet of brown needles he talked of Jacob Smith and his wife, Chatsy, and their lovely home, which had been the scene of so much revelry and mirth before the war. The home, being situated about halfway between the settlements of Keachie and Greenwood, was the center of gayety for the young people. Just before grandfather bought the plantation the house had been torn down. The windows and doors were of solid walnut, imported from France hand-carved in a design of vines and flowers. These were used in the new home then being built by John Hall at Keatchie, a little town ten miles distant. In a grove of oaks just below the spot where the house had been we saw the tombstones of Jacob and Chatsy, now fallen and overgrown with mosses. Nearing Uncle Phil ' s, we found the dear old man down in the corn field. If dat ' s not the little missus done come to see old Phil! Honey, I shore is glad to see you dis evenin. How are you feeling. Uncle Phil? I asked. Your Uncle Phil am not very spry no more, child. I had the rumatiz so bad last night never slept a wink till I used some of dat leniment your gran ' pa gimme. Laws, Page fort )-six YONCOPIN, 1922 massa, I thought I never would find dat stuff to go on my laig! I got up and struck a match and it went out, and I fumbled all around my cabin trying to find nutter one. Did you find it, Uncle Phil? No, honey, if I hadn ' t kivered up a coal o ' fire in de ashes I never would er struck a light with dat fat piece er kindlin ' I alius keeps handy. As we talked we came up to his little house, around which he had planted jonquils, narcissus and old-fashioned princess feathers. I can see him now, as we talked there in the tiny yard, gathering flowers. Uncle Phil was not very tall, but he was well propor- tioned; he had the blackest face I ever saw — it really shone like ebony. His eyes were a piercing brown, with ever a merry twinkle of mischief and good humor. His white hair, uncut, stood out all around his head like a fuzzy ball of cotton. Looking up at him, I asked: How old are you, Uncle Phil? Why, honey, I wuz nineteen years old when de stars fell, and dat ' s been a m:ghty long time ago. At this time everyone thought he could not possibly live longer than a few years, but each spring found him as interested as ever in his flowers and making his small crop with his old horse, Ebenezer. Ebenezer had only a wisp of a tail and was so thin that every rib could be counted. Every fall Uncle Phil took great delight in bringing his white folks the very first sweet potatoes. Coming up the walk with his double sack hung over his shoulder, he would call out: Little miss, come here! Just see these nice tat?rs I brought you! Oh, I didn ' t know they were ripe yet, Uncle Phil. Aren ' t they early this year? Yes, dey ' s early, but dat ' s ' cause I g.ve ' m plenty a-wurkin ' . Opening the sack, I cried out, What great big ones! Now run tell Aunt Mandy to git dem hambones fo ' me. The hambones were always saved for Uncle Phil, and he knew that whenever he came they would be ready for him. The time came when Uncle Phil could not make a crop. Somehow, in the early spring, he found the strength to plant a little corn, but as he was not able to work it, it grew up tall and spindling. It did not make corn, only a little fodder. Then he would ride over to the commissary for his provisions, and everything he asked for would be given him. Uncle Phil was naturally very religious and was much disturbed because the crew on the oil well that was being drilled near his home worked on the Sabbath day. He told them: You-all hed better watch out, for the ole bad man is shore comin ' up dat hole some night an ' git the last one ov yer. Last summer dear old Uncle Phil passed away. It was a privilege to have known him, and he will always be remembered for his cheerful words and loving deeds of kindness. Delia Munday. Page forly-scven Playing the Game If you ever feel sad and lonesome. If the world seems dreary and blue, If your last friend leaves you forever, And no one is thinking of you, Just throw up your head and smile on, boy; The world ' s full of struggle and strife, And you ' ve got to play single-handed If you sit in the game of life. If you ever stand out on the corner In the drizzling rain and sleet, With never a cent in your pocket And nothing at all to eat, Just tighten your belt and fight back, boy; If you can ' t get a club, use a knife. For you ' ll find that the odds are heavy When you ' re playing the game of life. But if ever you come out on top, boy, And fate starts dealing you trumps. Remember that someone is losing. And help him along when he slumps. Don ' t tilt back your chair and be selfish; Remember that trouble is rife, And a real man ' s kind to the losers, If he wins in the game of life. John Purnell. Pcge forly-eighi YONCOPIN, 1922 Sound Mind — Sound Body ENTENARY COLLEGE just at present is laying more emphasis on the training of the body than ever before. The college has secured Bo McMillin, and that has emphasized sports in such a way that Centenary College, nine months ago an unknown in stitution, has now a name heralded from one end of the United States to the other. There has been some fear expressed that Centenary might stand merely for athletic?. There need be no fear. Physical education is not enough emphasized in America. Look at a group of business men ; see how fat and flabby they are. Their mus- cles, as well as their energies, are wasted, and a large number die annually for the lack of exercise. There are only two living ex-Presidents in the United States, one a physical wreck, and the other, alarmed by his excessive weight, began a few years ago to take daily exercises and to walk four miles every day that he might be a stronger man. The magazines are full of pictures of Mr. Taft before and after he took physical training; before, the obese President, and after, the man well built and strong. When we look at our own college men we are impressed with the need of physical exercise. They get stale, and then spoil in some soft lounging place in the college. These men are not leaving their footprints on the sands of time ; they are pressed gently upon the soil and tasks of the day, and then blown away by the light winds. What these boys need is not only to study, not only religious instruction — they get that in chapel every morning — but they need to take care of the bodies which Gcd gave them. We look back at the Greeks. There has never existed a race of men of such high intellectual average as there did under Pericles. Three of the greatest tragedy writers that the world has ever known, the world ' s greatest comedy poets, the two most wonderful sculptors the world has so far produced, and Socrates and Plato, the two greatest philos- ophers in history, except Jesus Christ; all these lived together, passed each other on the streets, and toiled incessantly. We have the record of their bodies kept in deathless marble, and brilliant as were their minds, high in spiritual things as were their ideals, their bodies were every bit as remarkable as their brains or their souls. Every muscle was developed to the fullest extent. The body of Sophocles, preserved for us in a full-sized statue, is the model of what every American body should be; and as for the brains of Sophocles, no man living in the world today possesses its like. Like Greece of ancient days, America is beginning to realize that the fine arts must come after a strong, robust manhood has been developed. At Centenary College today we, in our own way, are attempting to fall in line with this new movement for better bodies — better bodies not as an end but as a means to the greater end of greater minds and greater souls, N.

And ' all the pine cones Have fallen, and the bright blue squills, Whatever they are, are blowing. A downy bird runs down a tree trunk, A woodpecker raps for silence. In my old brown shoes. With my cootie puffs, And my ruffs, I, loo, am a rare Pattern, as I walk down The new plank walk at Centenary. My dress is low-necked. And the train Is cut off at the knees. I make a figure long and thin On the gravel. Before I get to the college building. I am just a plate of current fashion, Tripping by in high-heeled shoes, Not a softness anywhere about me, Hard-boiled, And I sink on a seat On the porch of the college For my passion Wars against hard work. The grandstand Rises against the horizon. And the new-plowed earth Lies soaked in Hydrogen monoxide. Athletes and co-eds Flutter in the breeze As they please. And I weep; For the bell rings, And I must pull through another Recitation. I would be the pink and silver as I run along To class. And he would stumble after, Bewildered by m,y laughter; I should see the sun flashing from his head Piece And the buckles on his shoes. I would choose To lead him in a daze along the Patterned new board walk To the dining hall At noon. Ah, me!

Williamson Page seventy-five YONCOPIN, 1922 Fellowship INCE the beginning of the race, human relationships have been conducive to fellowship. In fact, the very nature of man ' s dealings with his neighbor has been such as to necessitate a certain degree of fellowship. The develop- ment of this spirit, this principle among men, has, of course, been slow, but it has been normal and steady. And from its infancy to its present complex state it has been a compelling force that has brought the day when all men everywhere are beginning to enjoy the benefits from brotherly relationships. Fellowship is a sane and beautiful working principle for all human relations, but it is possibly strongest felt as a binding force in religious faith. Our fellow- ship with God is stronger than love of parent or child, and, next to the family ties, the bond among men of the Christian church is closest. Furthermore, the spirit of good-will among men is found not only in the church, but, through the work of the organized church, it has permeated the whole civilized world. Christian fellowship has made business fellowship; has made professional fellowship; has made fellowship in the armies and navies of the world. It has even compelled a certain degree of good-will among opposing forces. In war a brave deed is applauded from the trenches of the enemy, as well as from the ranks of the hero ' s own men. The results from this fellowship, which in some degree is universal, cannot be esti- mated. Hand in hand with the progress of civilization, and, in fact, its chief aid, has been the spirit of good fellowship. It has facilitated better individual relationships, better group relationships, till today it would unite the nations of the earth in one spirit. It has brought the hope of annihilating war with peace on earth. The Paris peace conference and the disarmament conference at Washington are convincing evidences that men are at last coming to realize the value of fellows hip and a common purpose. This spirit is irresistible. No man or nation can long withstand the force of this movement, once its influence is felt. The time is near at hand when all men everywhere shall be united by the bonds of fellowship. When that time shall have come, men will behold the spirit of the Lord, the leaven that has worked the miracle of good-will to men. N. Page seventy-six 6 A YONCOPIN, 1922 6 m m i s©.

He fulfilled our fondest expectation. He built a first-class fighting machine out of raw material, and he did it in one year. Coach Hebert A real coach, and it ' s only his first year. When he gets his stride his name will be men- tioned in the same breath as the greatest coaches of the country. Not only is he a first-class coach but a first-class scout. Capt. Pattison Patt has made All-State for the last three years, and there is not a Centenary man who does not thrill with pride at recollection of his brilliant playing. His generalship is of the highest quality. Patt is a born leader of men. Page eighty YONCOPIN, 1922 Football RESENBLATH, Center Cotie held down the center of the line. He was in every play that came his way, and was the steadiest and best snapperback that ever wore a Maroon and White uniform. McDADE, Left Tackle Mac was in every play with all his heart and soul, and many an opponent has wished that he had not been on Centenary ' s team. He is a steady and sure tackier. Wafer, Right Tackle Half Pint was the bulwark of strength on the right side of the line. His hobby was tearing through the opponents ' line and breaking up the plays before they got started. All dur- ing the season he wrought havoc in the lines of the opposing teams. Page eighty-one YONCOPIN, 1922 Football BROWN, Quarterback Dugan at quarter is a splendid general and gets a hundred per cent cooperation from his comrades. His broken-field running ranks him as one of the best backs in the L. I. A. A. LOWERY, Quarter Red was a capable quarter, with a cate- gory of plays always on the end of his tongue. His punting pulled the Maroon and White out of many tight places. He was unable to finish the season on account of injuries sustained in the Pmeville game. HORTON, Halfback Jimmie is a hard worker and his spirit is admired by everyone. With very little experi- ence, he played his position splendidly. He rtlso played quarter and handled the team like a veteran. Page elght )-lTvo YONCOPIN, 1922 Football Williamson, Right Guard Willie is quiet but aggressive. He holds like a steel wall on the defense, and his tackling has made him a terror to all his opponents. Le Blanc, Left Guard Frenchie is a fighter and was always full of pep. On the defensive he stood like a stone wall, and on the offensive there was always a hole where he was. MANHEIM, Left End Haywood was the first man down on the punts and always got his man. He broke up every play that came round his end. He was the hardest and surest tackier on the team. Page eighty-three YONCOPIN, 1922 Football Worley, Right End If Red missed a tackle this year nobody knows it. There was not a more faithful worker on the squad. His motto seems to be Say nothing and saw wood. Preston, Fullback When a few yards were needed, Johnnie was sure to carry the ball through the line for a down, with several men hanging on him. His grit and determination, coupled with a powerful physique, made many opponents tremble. Harper, Left Half Albert ' s steady work around end and through the line made him invaluable to the team. He is fast, aggressive, and has that do- or-die spirit which helped to win many games for Centenary. Page eighty-four YONCOPIN, 1922 Football TOWNSEND, Fullback Loyd always played a splendid game when called on to fill any position in the backfield. With a little mere experience he will rank with the best in the state. Read, Halfback Bob is a hard worker. His tackling and end runs were good, and he has all the quali- ties of a wonderful football player. Armstrong, End Keg is a tall boy with hands built righl to snatch the most allusive passes from the air. Page eighty-five YONCOPIN, 1922 Football Bynum, End Stith was small, but made up for this handi- cap by his speed and accuracy in receiving passes. Hendrick, Tackle J. V. did not get to play in many games. But those he did play in he made a record for himself. Conger, Tackle Sid was light, but, oh, how he could down his man, and he gave the varsity many a hard knock. Page eighty-six YONCOPIN, 1922 WHAT IS THE SCORE ?

A. for the first time in the history of the college. Coach Norton was blessed with plenty of good material to practice with ; the scrubs and varsity were often equally matched. The Coushat.a boys, due to former teamwork and experience, had the edge on the other men, and around ihem the squad was built. The first few games showed what possibilities were wrapped up in the squad. The results were gratifying, and both coach and players worked overtime to develop the wonder team of the state. After splitting with Normal on the home floor, the test of the season came with a gruelling trip through Mississippi and Tennessee, meeting the best college teams in those sections. We won two from Millsaps and split with Mississippi College. Then came the greatest victory of the season when we defeated Ole Miss for the first time she had been defeated on her home court in many years. We lost the last games because the team was worn out by the long trip. The team returned home, and after a few days of rest they defeated Louisiana Col- lege and. S. L. I. I. two games each. Then came the last games of the season with a trip through South Louisiana, winning two games each from Louisiana College and S. L. I. I. College, then to Normal to battle in the crucial game for the state championship of the L. I. A. A. They won, after a hard-fought game, by a good margin, and the championship was ours. Page m ' nefp-one YONCOPIN, 1922 The season closed with a defeat because the boys were jaded and tired, and knew the result would not affect the standing as state champions. The entire squad will return next season, with the exception of Armstrong, who grad- uates this year, and Centenary is assured of another championship. Games and Scores C. C. L 18; Normal 24 C. C.

If those mentioned are not pleased with our inter- pretation, see us. H. ■E Campus Clubs of Note The Toothpick Club Officers B. C. Taylor President R. W. GoDBOLD Vice-President J. V. HENDRICKS Secretary and Treasurer Faculty Honorary Members Professors Cline and Honeycutt RULES AND REGULATIONS 1 . Members must always have toothpick on person in case of emergencies. 2. Must be used after every meal. 3. If possible, extend its use into the class immediately after noon. 4. If members are caught using toothpick in private they will be fined by the com- mittee on rules and regulations. 5. A prize will be awarded to the member who manages to ply his toothpick in the midst of the largest crowd, who uses it the most gracefully, oftenest, and stays with it the longest. From all present indications we feel safe in saying that the reward will be won, and indeed earned, by the club ' s president. Page one hundred seven YONCOPIN, 1922 The White Sox Club Officers E. V. Levie President Pete Mitchell Vice-President H. H. Norton Secretary Albert Harfer . . - Treasurer RULES AND REGULATIONS 1 . Members are required at all times to wear their snowy emblem. 2. They should wear their trousers as short as possible and low dark shoes, so that the brotherhood may distinguish each other at the distance of at least one mile. 3. If sox are not kept pure and white at all times, the wearer will be forced to wear dark ones in their stead. Thus far this severe ruling has not had to be enforced. They are indeed a loyal and staunch group. The Courting Society (Only faculty members eligible; students eliminated on account of inexperience and the amount of forbidden honey involved.) There are no permanent officers, the members rotating into prominence according to headway made in room No. 6. RULES AND REGULATIONS 1 .
