THE YONCOPIN PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT BODY OF CENTENARY COLLEGE Shreveport, La. LIBRARY CENTENARY COLLET Where the Yoncopins Grow In the sunshiny land where the yoncopins grow, Where there ' s seldom a freeze, and more seldom a snow, Where the sun shines all day and the moon shines all night, And girls are all lovely, anil men are all right- No matter wherever my fortune shall fall. My heart shall still hear and still answe ' the call Of my dear Southern homeland, where er I go- The sunshiny land where the yoncopins grow. LILLIAN HALL TRICHEL. Yoncopin Lilies Southern breezes softly blowing, Moss hung cypress drooping low, Warm, bright water, gently flowing. Where the tall white lilies grow. Held on stems so straight and slender, Beautiful beyond all art, Blossoming in stately splendor, Creamy cup and golden heart. Lights and shadows swiftly playing, Leaves and blossoms seem to sway, Every fragrant flower paying Homage to the new-born day. LILLIAN HALL TRICHEL. M 7 t ' Nelumbiums Nelumbium is the technical name for the American lotus, which is found in lakes near Shreveport and is commonly called the Yoncopin. CC VNE of the most strikingly beautiful plants in all the aquatic world i§ J the Lotus, or Nelumbium. The great concave leaves often over two feet in diameter like wonderful green shields borne on stout stems high above the water, are beautiful enough to win general admiration even without their ' thousand-petaled flowers. ' Then too the brown seed-pods, remaining after the flowers have blown, are so decorative that none can pass them by without observing them. A symbol of evolution, it springs from the mud, lifting its golden hearted bloom high over the water that it may open pure and spotless to the sun. Held sacred by the Buddhist it is to him emblematical of the soul of man, resting always in calm above the surging activities of the world; existing in the sunlight pure and undefiled; rooted in a world of experience. Its personal beauty is appealing in leaf, bud and opened flower, its poetic charm in its poise above the water, its perfume, and its symbolic appeal of religious thought. One can readily slip into the past when brought face to face with the open flower. He can in fancy see the kings and queens, the courts and courtiers of ancient Egypt; the priests and devotees of the temples, the scholars and poet6 of that long-ago time; a great company who paid homage, who worshipped and who sang of the royal plant— the Lotus. The spell of the Nile still hovers around the blooms, even while their glory add to the charm of our twentieth century gardens.

ORDER OF BOOKS THE COLLEGE THE CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS FACTS AND FOLLIES ACADEMY ■St- nSS Main Buildinj In rose-and-silver, fronted towards the West, Our college hears the bustling world swing by. Shyly withdrawn she crowns her sun- gilt crest; Come, seek ye Truth and Light, her holy cry; The careless hearts of lads her ceaseless quest. The Woods Because THAT boy walked here, THAT prankish faun, Who loafs through our classes, stomps our shadowy lawn, Men shall come here to worship and to shout — When you and I to long, long night are gone. Academy Building 1 heard young laughter through the grim gray pines: I saw white pillars gleam, a solemn row; 1 felt the noonday sun upon me glow — Then boys came bursting from their long confines. President ' s Home Flooded with sun and laughter, floor by floor, With open doorway whence gay greetings pour, Surely his very home with glowing eyes Grows like the man it hides and we adore. Facts and a Message to the Students of 1923 THREE years ago, members of the Board of Trustees of Centenary College and other outstanding business and professional men of Shreveport had an informal meeting, and agreed that Centenary College should be firmly established and provided with adequate faculty, equipment, and endowment. These men pledged their continued support and made large contributions to the Emlownment Fund. The Rotary Club of Shreveport soon afterward officially adopted Centenary College, and under its direction a campaign for en lowment was successfully completed. The whole city seemed to awaken to the great opportunity, and men and women of all faiths contributed generously to the fund. Many times since, the City of Shreveport has shown itself to be solidly behind the College. Matching Shreveport ' s liberality, the General Board of Educa- tion in New York made a gift to the College. The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, through the Christian Educational Movement, provided a liberal quota for the College. The institution has had phenomenal growih since this forward movement was launched. The student body has increased from 140 to 346. New buildings an 1 much equipment ha e been added; the faculty has been increased; Centenary has been reborn, rehabilitated, and re-vitalized in a comparatively short time. This forward movement, of which you students are the beneficiaries, is due to the untiring efforts of a few broad-visioned men who felt the need for a great college in Shreveport. The recent progress which has restored the Old Centenary to her high place of influence brings great responsibility not only to the citizens of Shreveport and the authorities of the College, but also to the great body of students who are and will be in attendance upon the institution. It is of this responsibility that I wish to speak through the pages of your College Annual. A College may have its campus covered with great buildings and have unlimited sources of wealth, ft may ha e unequalled administrative officers and faculties, but if it is to be a great College, it must have a student body of boys and girls who love their College, have loyalty to their country, and faith in their God; who respect her authorities and traditions, who are anxious to learn; who are builders of a wholesome morale; who are, in short, good citizens of their college community. These are necessary characteristics of the students of a great college, and much depends on their being maintained. Your responsibility does not end when you leave these college walls, but you must through life measure up to the high standards that have so long characterized Centenary men and women. The men and organizations that have contributed to the upbuilding of Centenary College rightly expect you to assume these responsibilities. The real test of the usefulness of an institution is in the product that comes out of it. The Alumni of a college are indicative of the character of work and the kind of spirit which prevails within the College. To justify its existence, a college must develop and send out into the various affairs of the State and nation men and women who are capable of serving in a large way. The responsibility remains with you, and all through life you must be a true son or daughter of Centenary. Centenary College has produced many great men of which the institution is justly proud. Today she is endeavoring to instill into the present student body these same ideals which have been ever present in the hearts and minds of her Alumni. My message to you, students of 1923, is to ever hold fast to the three great Centenary ideals— love df Alma, Mater, undying loyalty to country, and faith in Almighty God. Maintain them in your present student body and pass them on to the next generation of students that these great principles may be burned deep into their hearts and make them great citizens, as they are making you.

Talk about discipline, there ' s where I ' d shine And each pupil would his own business mind, I ' d demand unity, action as a whole And try to help good character to mold. There ' d be holidays — but only a few And their memory would linger long with you, My pupils would be honest, truthful and kind With lessons prepared and recited on time. There ' d be no truants nor such as the like But each to the school in the morn would hike.

Gutteridge Vice-President Bernice Phipps Secretary-Treasurer Mattie Adelle McClenaghan .... Historian Wilson H. Young .... Reporter To the Senior Most envied, yet most pitied, of mankind; What dignity and wisdom grave is thine, Yet, as exams pass by, you sadder pine- To think these days must soon be left behind! To thy high state the lowly Fresh aspires; The Soph, of thee alone, in reverence stands; The Junior, too, some good advice demands; The seg-ed thy proud bearing oft admires. No more thy books, for pleasures, wilt thou shirk— You ' ve learned at last, to settle down to work. Dear college life, in reverie, now unfurled— What contrast to the coming battling world A tear from off the last theme then you wipe, And seek for consolation in your pipe. irm Senior Class Wilson Ewing New Orleans, La.

It did not take us long, however, to find that he had much ability, esi)ecia r ly in art and music. We are sure that he nil! find smooth sailing in whatever career he chooses to follow. History of the Class of 1923 A NOTHER year has passed and another class goes forth from the doors of its Alma Mater. ■ Four years have been spent there— four years full of toil, but toil mingled with enough pleasure to make all four of these years the happiest of our experience. As a class departs, it is customary for the class historian to lea. e some record of the ex- ploits of the class. While we., the Class of ' 23, are sure that our actions may safely be left to speak for themsel es, we La e this record, realizing that in after years it may serve as a remi.ider of these arious achievements and recall memories of former classmates. The Class of ' 23 entered college life in the fall of ' 19. We claim the honor of being just like any other class of young people, who have just recei ed their high school diplomas and entered into their college life— green, and by all means fresh enough to deserve the name of Freshmen. We had our full share of conceit, too— being almost as much so as the present Freshman Class— for we thought there was no task which we could not perform. However, most of our number managed to weather the hardships usually encountered by Freshmen and e en now look back with the greatest of pleasure on those days, which then seemed so full of trials but now seem so trivial. The next year, in the natural course of e.enLs, we were Sophomore. Then it was that we proved a great law—that there is only one thing more comical than a Freshman, and that is a Sophomore. That year we were highly indignant that no one seemed to take us half as seriously as we took ourselves. Why— weren ' t we full fledged Sophs— and didn ' t some of us even bear the distinction of being officers of that most distinguished band? It seems that ihis year, during which we were so completely ignored, served its purpose, for we began to realize that we were not the only ones on the campus. The next year we had advanced one step farther in classification and we hope in wisdom; we were Juniors. Indeed, during that year we proved our superiority over the lower classmen by not making such a display of it. We were engaged in more important affairs than that of giving some Freshman a black eye— we were active members in the literary societies, editors and associate editors of the college publications, athletes and everything which goes to make up college life. We will not try to recall the individual activities but will leave those to each member of the class. Now we are Seniors, mighty Seniors, respected by under-classmen but realizing down deep in our hearts that we are only Freshmen grown a little bigger and a very little wiser. We acknowledge that what wisdom we may have attained is not due altogether to our own efforts but partly to the efforts of our faculty, who have at all times shown themselves true friends to all the classes but we believe more especially to the Class of ' 23. Important things have happened at Centenary in our day. It is no small thing to say that we were students there when Dr. Sexton took charge. Under his administration, we have witnessed and we feel even taken something of an active part in the second era of the College life— the era of New Centenary. During our time we have seen many of the alumni of the early years come back and marvel at the wonderful growth since their time, and we hope that in the days to come when we return to Centenary we, too, shall marvel and speak with husky voices of the days when we were young and hopeful candidates for bachelor de- grees at this time-honored institution. A Tribute The month of June is here at last Let ' s praise the Seniors before they pass. All honor to whom honor is due For loyalty and true courage belong to you. You ' ve done your duty — your level best, Constantly toiling with vigor and zest, Each task well done — each reaching the goal No failures recorded — your future ' s foretold. When things were put through with dignity and skill And alertness was needed the place to fill, Our Senior ' s were ready as soldiers are Playing the part of the guiding star. As for honor, vigilance and class spirit too, You ' ve displayed them all the way through, So when you have chosen your life work to do I ' m sure you ' ll prove Seniors true blue. All the good deeds you ' ve sown you ' ll reap In harvest of friends a very large heap, And as you climb the infinite stairway of life Be sure to hold on to the truth with your might. Fair Seniors — brave Seniors, ne ' er turn from the path Where duty shall lead you— be loyal, steadfast Be true to the ideals you ' ve sought in your youth By patient endeavor make them a truth. And with courage march onward — with success you ' ll be crowned For only to the faithful there ' ll come renown, So strive on with a purpose in view, But remember to thine ownself be true. D. B.

Speaking of talent, there ' s a Junior named Jimmie Devine, Reads everv thing you can call for, in poetry, prose and rhyme.

Let ' s give fifteen rahs for Cotton, the cheerleader for the bunch, In his yells there was never lacking the snap, the pep, the punch.

Walton Shreveport, La, Sophomore History T N THE year of 1921, a jolly band of Freshmen assembled in the halls of Centenary College. ■ Undoubtedly they were as green as most but just as undoubtedly they were unaware of this fact and conducted themselves as though they were the gallant youths and ladies who made education an achie ement worthy of consideration. After being properly assured of their place in the college mechanism, they asserted themselves and made all realize that in them was the material for good Sophomores, better Juniors and the best Senors that have ever walked proudly away from their Alma Mater, holding their sheep-skins in an everlasting embrace. One of the most notable achievements of the class in infancy was the reorganization of the Old Franklin Institute. Under the guidance of Miss Laura Bishop, then head of ihe English Department, the spark of the old organization was fanned into a flame that leaped high enough lo grasp the signal honor of the year, the Hypalia Loving Cup, to say nothing of the several ahtletic contests staged between the Union Literary Society and themsel.es. Although all Freshmen are rigidly bound by constant study these unusual new members of Centenary ' s student body found some time for social activities— parlies of various natures, terminating in a swimming party when spring had warmed the woJd sufficiently to permit. And now that Freshmen days are past and as thoughtful Sophomores, these faithful stu- dents traverse the campus with knitted brow, all look and wonder what the future holds in store. What man might trace his assent into realms undreamed of back to his college days, back to this Sophomore year in Centenary College? We have them all, the doctor first, with never dying love for humanity and an insatiable desire to mend all creatures and save them from the cruel pangs of pain; then the minister, who shall go forth to all the world; the lawyer, struggling and studying to hinder controversy and prevent injustice whenever humanly possible; the farmer, the native son of the soil, who studies to make the earth produce ib best and benefit the worlJ; the civil engineers; men of commerce; bankers; teachers, possiblj a great inventor, who knows? They all will come from the Sophomore, the class of 1925 Being in the majority the boys claim the most prominent places, but, nevertheless, the co-eds claim their places in the world of achievement. From their midst may be picked nurses, bus- iness women, probably doctors, lawyers, dietitians, social service workers, missionaries, or what not? Their field stands wide, welcoming them where they choose to come. In the years to come, in the great unknown future, there lies the test for all endeavor; there all will be proved good or bad, but let those beholders of the class of 1925; let them and their children ' s children ' s children stand up and say, They are the best. Department of Commerce THE Department of Commerce is only two years old, but it is one of the most popular in the school. More than half the students are enrolled in at least one commercial course. This department has always aimed to give worth-while instruction which would be of practical value to the student in after life; and the members of the department take great pride in the fact that the leaders in practically every phase of school activity are selected from their number.

Courses in accounting, stenography and other business subjects were of- fered for the benefit of business men and women, who, on account of their work were not able to attend the day sessions of the Department of Commerce. While the members of the extension department were not as closely associ- ated with college activities as were the other students, they take as much pride in the accomplishments of the Marocn and White, and I feel as mu°h love for Centenary as the students who live on the campus.

Transue Organizations f OLLEGE LIFE can never mean to us all that it should unless it builds - within us a spirit, a feeling, or sentiment— call it what we may— that will linger and make us relive our college days long years after we have graduated. The creation of this sentiment, or the building of these memories, is one of the most delicate and difficult as well as most important objectives in the adminis- tration cf colleges. To be sure we could not love a school that exacted from us no labor, but when we behold our achievement we forget the toil of per- formance. When the heat and burden of the day have been borne we remember it only with pleasure. Among the most pleasant memories we will carry away with us from college are those associated with the organizations of which we were members. They too have helped to create and also to crystallize and perpetuate that sentiment which means so much to us while we are here and more after we have gone. Whether the organization has as its purpose some serious work or social recreation, or, as is true in most instances, a combination of the two ideas, it affords us an opportunity to know each other better and from a new point of view. Most of the organizations represented in this book are com- paratively new at Centenary and have only begun to do their work. Through the coining years of growth and power for the college their influence will be felt as a building force of college spirit and wholesome sentiment, necessary alike to the institution and its members. Those who are privileged to have membership in these young and promising organizations can have the inspiration and responsibility of knowing that they are laying a foundation upon which others will erect the completed structure and be impelled to lay it well. They are making the path where the thoroughfare will follow and can bless those who are to travel here in the future by making it straight. Y. M. C. A. Officers J. V.

It was organized in November, 1922 when fifty men applied for membership. Twenty of the most efficient musically were chosen for training. The club has made splendid progress for the first year and is doing great ihings for Centenary. It has sung in all the leading churches of the city, before a number of distinguished clubs and national organizations and during its first year will make a concert tour of the State besides several special concerts in Shreveport. The club is under the direction of Miss Catherine McComb, Director of Music for ihe College, a young lady of rare musicianship and training. Miss McComb is a graduate both in piano and voice of the following colleges, Hillman College, B. S. degree, Cincinnati Con- servatory of Music, B. M. degree, and the Chicago Conservatory of Music. She has done special work with the faculty of the Chicago College of Music, being an artist pupil of Percy Grawyer, Herbert Witherspoon, Florence Hinkle and Dr. Tery Lulek. Miss McComb was a member of the Facul ' .y of Music of the Louisiana State University for two years and has had large experience in teaching and directing. The programme and repertoire of the club includes popular, classical and sacred num- bers, including special solos, reading and impersonations. The male quartet is a special feature and their singing has always been a hit on all programmes and especially their inter- pretations of the Negro Spirituals. E% 1 F wL ' 1 ft.

The real foundation of this chapter was laid at Camp Standing Rock in the Ozarks, where a small group of fraternity men from o.her c3lleges worked out the plan of formulating an organization that would be a benefit to both the college and to themselves. The 01 iginal plan p was to make this a Stray Greek ' club which would be composed of only Greek letter fraternity men, but later assumed the character of a local and slowly enlarged by initiating men who were not already mcmbe.s of a Greek fraternity. Among ihe founders the following fraternities were represented by one or more membes: Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Deka, Pi Kappa Phi Sigma Chi, and Sigma Nu. Chapter Roster Car t .

NORTON, Athletic Director ' BO McMillan, Coach Review of the Football Season T time among the many pleasant memories of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-two. At the beginning everything was of an unknown quantity and there was much doubt among the skeptics as to whether or not the season would be successful. A new coach was at the head, fctis system was different from the one the old boys had been accustomed to and of course everything had to be started anew. Several of the lasl year ' s letter men had not re- turned and a g eat deal was to depend upon the freshman class for material. The schedule was much stronger than usual and we gaineJ litile encouragement from the fact that die heavy Loyola eie.en had defeated the great Staie Uni.ersity by se.en to nothing at the start of the season. After receiving several encouraging letters from unknown writers telling of the pleasures of camp life— the great fun in fishing for mouniain Uout, the cooling baths of ihe Blue Hole ' which was often visited by the Mena beauties, and the pleasant hikes through the Ozark Mountains— we were asked to report to the K. C. S. depot for the journey to the Mena Sum- mer School. And never will we forget those days spent at Camp Standing Rock. It is true that the greater part of the time was spent in intensive training. When we were not out on the field in the hot August sun we were up in the class room listening to a lecture— or pos- sibly lucky enough to be on K. P. for that day. But we did have some time to ourselves and many of us got a good knowledge of the Ozarks before leading. The moon-light nights in the Ozaiks are wonderful and they were especially impressive from the top of Standing Rock— no one could blame the crowd for congregating there after supper. A special word of praise should go to the fine people at Mena who did everything possible to make our stay there a pleasant one. They would even go out of their way to see that we had everything for our comfort. And then the homecoming— e. en greater than when the oversea veterans reached old New Yoik harbor. When we arrived in Shreveport it looked like a million and we all felt as equal. The week following the return from camp all preliminary training was given the siding and hard woik was begun in earnest. The boys were beginning to round into pretty good form by this time and as se eral recruits had been recently added we were beginning to re- semble a real college football team. Yet there was some doubt on the eve of the first game. Reports from the Marshall camp had them recruiting from the boiler factories and we were made to believe that the Marshall teain was coming to Shreveport to mop-up with ihe Gen- tlemen. (You see we had just taken the name of the Centenary Gentlemen and far be it from us to start a dispute just at that time). Well, we put on our best manners but just couldn ' t help from running up a seventy-seven to nothing score. This was all done in honor of our new coach. You see it was his first game as our coach and the boys wanted to make a good impression. We thought it might put a little scare into the rest of the teams on die schedule and make easy sailing. But it didn ' t. From the first game the boys went good. Eight games were played and there was only one set-back. This was at the State Fair game with the University of Tennessee Doctors. The score was fourteen to nothing and the Doctors were on the long end. There is no need to offer an alibi for this game as only the coaches knew of the condition of the team at that time. We will say that the better team won and the Doctors are due a lot of credit for ihe wonderful game they put up. At any rate it took a good team to beat us. The Gentlemen ' were rather slow in rounding into form and were not at their best until the game with the Loyola Wolves on November fourth. Centenary knew that the result of this game would have a big bearing on th e state championship and the way our gang ran through that heavy Loyola bunch was a pleasant sight to the local fans. Not until Thanksgiving Day did we have the big game ' ' of the season. All others were of minor importance. From the first call to the moleskins the boys had been looking forward to the Ruston game. It was the talk of the gang while at camp and it continued in the class rooms and on the field every day during the season. Everybody in he school had but the one thought— Beat Ruston — right the wrong of 1921. The day of the game finally ar rived and the weather was ideal for football. A bright sun sent its warm rays down on the stands and made a fine protection from the chilly breezes that were in the air. The crowd was the greatest that ever gathered in Shreveport for an event of this sort and the capacity of the park was taxed to the utmost. The Ruston rooters came over strong, bringing abou ' twelve hundred on the two special trains. When the whistle for the kick-off sounded there was not even standing room left. The game was a fight from start to finish and much praise is due the Ruston players for the wonderfully clean game they put up. They were in then fighting all the time and did not stop until the final whistle blew. But the better ;eam won and the outcome was never in doubt after the first few minutes. Just as a matter of recorc we might mention that the first touchdown was made around Capain Walker s end— the end around which no team had been able to gain a single yard, so boasted the Ruston sup- porters. Well, only time will tell. From the time of the first touchdown the rest was easy. The Bulldogs could not stand up under the heavy punching of the better coached and the better trained Gentlemen, and had to return to their Kennels on the short end of a 20-0 score. With this victory went the state championship and so far no one has seen fit to dispute this claim. Centenary and Shreveport should be proud of the splendid record made by these boys during the past season. They have not only brought glory upon the college and themselves but have gained national prominence for Shreveport as well. Two of our members were given honorable mention for all-Southern and if some of the games had been played in ihe football centers of the South these boys would have been on the first team. Five men were chosen on the All-L. I. A. A. team and the men making the selections stated that Centenary should have all eleven men but it wouldn ' t look right. Ain ' t it a shame you can ' t give the devil his due? Coach McMillan will be back on the job next year and so w ; ll Coach Norton. With these two men on hand another successful season is assured for the Gentlemen. Clyde Wafer will head the team of 1923. He was a valuable man in the line this past season and in him the fellows have made a wise selection as captain. The majority of the old men will return so everything is all set for the curtain to rise on another glorious season.

A. Peavy Student Manager Coty Rosenbzath, Captain and Cente-, Weight 180 pounds Shre.eport, La. Coty was handicapped at the sari of the sc.ini by irjuries and did not got gcir-g until late. His loss wis keenly felt in the ear ' .y games. He is a veUran at the very important pivot posi ion, a hrrd fighier and ever willing to give his all for :he good of the team. Playing his second yeir on the team and good frr two mere years. Clyde Wafer, ( Half Pint ), Tackle, Weight 210 pounds Coushatta, La. Captain elect, ' 23. His name would indicate something sma ' l and flimsy but say boy you just ought to watch this big boy play in that line. On the defense they simply can ' t (-,■ thru him and on the offense he is a great help to the backs by the big holes he opens in the opposing lines. During the absence of Rosen- hlath, Clyde was acting captain most of the year. Ho is a quiet unassumirg scrt of a chap and always in there fighting hard and saying nothing. Mickey Lyvers, ( Mickey ) , Halfback, Weight 180 pounds Kansas City, Mo. Fast, powerfully built, experienced and shifty. lyvers is a peach of a halfback. He is one of those players a loam has to have, the kind you can ' t do without. He is a terrific lino-plunger and on defense charges like a runaway horse. Ho is a good receiver of passes when they come in his direction. Mickey is a high class Gentleman, a fine athlete, and has wen a secure place in all of our hearts. Iohn Preston, ( Johnny ) , Fullback Weight 170 pounds Shreveport, La. The greatest little lino plunger in the South. Although light for a fullback Johnny never failed to make the necessary gain when called upon. We ' er sorry to see you leave us, Johnny, but the best of luck from the bunch goes with you in your chosen profession. W r H St Les Phillips, { Les ) , Halfback, Weight 175 pounds De Queen., Ark. Considering his aciive experience at football Les put up a wonderful exhibition this Fall. He is fast and shifty and got better and better as the season progressed. Les is the sort of chap that makes coaching worth while-- -he just gets out there and plays like he was taught to do. James H. Weaver, ( Kerf ), End, Weight 198 pounds Monroe, N. C. Red knows the game from A to Z and is one of the smartest players we have ever seen. His spirit and loyalty is something wonderful. Is an ideal buil for the end position and very few plays were completed around his side. Very good on receiving passes and as good a place kicker as any team could wish for. He missed very few trys for points after touchdowns this year. ,Iim was always in tip-top condi ' ion and his motto seemed to be keep your mouth shut and your eyes on the ball. Herman P. Hilden, ( Garry ), End, Weight 190 pounds Booneville, Mo. Hilden came to in late in the year but it did not take him long to prove to the coaches that he was a fir l class end. When it comes to breaking up interference he is a bear. And how he would take out his man when the backs ran plays around his end was certainly a pleasing sight to the coaches. This boy has about the finest spirit going. His football knowledge is deep, well grounded and thoroughly a part of him. We ' l fjve our watch to the man that beats him next year. Bryan E. Bush, Guard, Weight 180 pounds Huston, La. Although claiming his home to be at the same place as the famous Bulldogs, Bush is a staunch Centenary Gentlemen. He played a great came until he had the misfortune of breaking his collar „bone in the Loyola game. He showed his fighting spirit by his words of fight and encouragement when forced to leave this game. Our sympathy went out to this man just at this time as his injury was doomed to keep him from playing in the one big game of the year in his heart. His one ambition w as to play that game against the Rustou boys. Not to be outdone on that day be was acting in the official capacity of time keeper where he could follow closely Centenary ' s triumph. Bush has that never-say-die spirit and we are counting on big things from him in 1923. k : V f i Maurice Ellsworth, ( ' ' Heavy ), Guard, Weight 215 pounds Willoughby, Ohio A bulwark of slr--nglh both en the offense and the de. ' ense and one of the very be l linemen of the year. He was fearless in whatever he did an was an inspiration to both his coarhes and his teammates when things looked dark. He is one of those fellows you ean always eount on. Sam York, { Duke ) , End. Weight 180 pounds Kansas City, Mo. York ' s long suit is catching passes ou! of the dark. Am afraid to say where ge got his early training. He said that he knew he wou ' .d fit into the style of play here this year as he was at Centre for a couple of days last year and knew McMHHn ' s system. In the games in which he p ' ayed this year he showed that he had the stuff and can be depended upon fcr a regular berih next fall. Cal Hubbard, ( Big Boy ), Weight 245 pounds Keytesville, Mo. Big Boy is a fi.ting name for Cal. He is just a big boy out there chewing gum and enjoying the game just as a kid docs playing marbles. He is a football playing piece of furniture, loves the game and thev can ' t be too big and slrong and ugly to suit him. Cal plays tackle on the offense and backs up the line on the defense and his uncanny abi ' .i ' .y to diagnose and smear an attack was a thing to wonder at. Cal says he was slow in getting s ' .aried this year but if he gets going any better in 1923 they had belter call out the ambulance for the opposing team. Harry B. White, ( B ' hitey ), Quarter and Halfback, Weight 155 pounds Tyler, Texas This boy just weighs abaut one fifty but when he hits you would think he was loaded with lead. He is mighty good on defense and seems to come out of nowhere and break up play after play. He can direct the team play in fine style and his forwar passing is on a par with any of them. His greatest asset is his won- derful learn spirit an we wish we had more like you, Whitey. Bard Farrell, { Mexico ), Halfback, Weight 198 pounds Albuquerque, N. M. If you want to get Bard out on the campus just pilch up a foo;hall and he will be right (here. If thrre was ever a man who loves the game belter I have never seen him. Farrell can do everything possible wiih a football. He is a sure nuff triple threat. His time in the hundred is ten flat and when he perfects Ms side step he will be unstoppable. Il was Mexico who started things at Mil ' saps when it was looki-ig blue for the Gentlemen, it was Mexico who made a touchdown against Louisville on a muddy field on the first two plays of the game and it was this same halfback who gained the first yard around Mr. Walker ' s end of L. P. I. The coach says he is the greatest prospect he ever saw in a uniform. James Fierson, ( Jimmy ) , Guard, Weight 195 pounds Natchitoches, La. Jimmy was a little slow in gelling recognized by the coaches. At the first of the year he just worked hard and said nothing. It wasn ' t long befcre he was known as about ihe best lineman on the squad. A man that any coach will like, Jimmy was always in there giving his very best. A hard tackier and a great defensive man. Can be shifted in the line to play any position and is of great value to the team. Not but eighteen now but when he grows up he will be a bear. Chas. Dutton, { Long Shot ), Guard, Center and Tackle, Weight 202 pounds. .. .Minden, La. Chrrlic is a brother of the great Dutlon boys from L. S. U. and just naturally had to be a football player to live up to the family name. He can do more wi h a foo ' .ball now than his brothers ever thought of doing. He played at center, guard, tackle, cr end with equal success. Also did the kicking off for the learn. If the opposing lineman tried laying down in front of Dutton he would just reach over him «md make ihe tackle. Plays the game because he likes it and is always in good condition. R. L. Brown, ( Dugan ) , Quarter, Weight 170 pounds Jonesboro, La. It was a pleasing sight to sit back and watch the way Dugan ran the team this year. He made a study of the opposition and his plays were well directed. He did much of the passing and was goodat either line pinging or running the ends. Dugan made several long runs this year and is a shifty broken field runner. A depend- able safety man and dangerous in running back punts. ■ H. L. Bridges, Halfback, Weight 165 pounds Minden, La. Bridges seemed to lack confidence in himself al the first of the year but was going fine when the season closed. Fast as a deer he could cer:ainly ' carry the mail when called upon. His development was faster than most any man on the squad and great things are expected of him next year. He ' s a teammate of Charlie Dutton — isn ' t that enough? George Pattison, Halfback, Weight 165 pounds Mitchell, La. Pat was captain for two years and when again reelected last year he thought it time some other fellow had a chance at his job so would not accept. One of the hardest workers on the field he had but one thought in mind---get Ruston. Well, Pat had his chance that day and was satisfied with the result. Although light he was as hard as nails and made up for that lack of weight by sheer determination and grit. We are sorry its your last year because we hate to see you go. The best wishes of the squad go with you in whatever you at;empt. Carl Anderson, ( Swede ), Halfback, Weight 155 pounds Ft. Worth, Texas. Anderson is playing his first year of football and if he improves next year as he did this he will be a wonder. If we only had more men like Swede on the squad there would be little for the coaches to worry about. He is never out of training and they don ' t make them with any better spirit. He is always thinking of the best interest of the team. He did a doub ' e duly, besides being a member of the team he helped keep the other players in good condition by his training methods. Marion H. Wills, ( Doc ), Guard, Weight 175 pounds Ridgefa rin. Good old hard workin never over look. If a best physical condition and ne 111. Wil ls. When you talk about loyalty, faithfulness, and team spirit here ' s a boy you ' ll man gave his all for the team and the school it was Doc. He was always in the had to have lime called. We ' re mighty sorry that your studies have taken you elsewhere but the best wishes of the Centenary Gentlemen ' go with you. .Q jNk Harold Dillman, ( Cutie ), Tackle, Weight 175 pounds Champagne, 111 Dillman might be called the gentleman of the squad. He could go thru a fu ' .l game and not t;e ' ihe par ' out of his hair. But don ' t think from that that he was not in there fighting all of he ime. Ha was buih right on the ground and was an ideal tackle. He had been out of football for a couple of years working in an office and this handicapped him in getting started. Look out for him next year. He is bound to be a star. Richard Denman, ( Dick ), Fullback, Weight 173 pounds. Waxahachie, Texas. Dick is one of the finds of the season. A good punter, he did much of the early season kicking for ihe team. He could tear up any line and was a wonder in running interference. He showed up well in every game and in the most of them he starred. He had a keen knack of sensing the opposition ' s forward pass attack and made several long runs on intercepted passes. Albert Harper, ( King ), Halfback, Weight 150 pounds Shreveport, La. Harper gained fame for the squad when he pi ched the great Mena team to victory while we were at camp. A fine broken field runner and a good sidestepper. If you give him the ball with a fair chance to get started he would run some team ragged. He did some of the punting at the first of the season. The Louisville Trip WE HAD been practicing very hard all season but the we k bafore the Centenary-Louis- ille game was harder than most all the rest, because no one could tell how stiff the game might be. We had read paper dope about the Louisville team unlil we could think of nothing less than a mighty battle— a battle that would mean that Centenary was a back-yard player ana a fresh upsiart that would pass on without being noticed or that she had really been doing work, work that shows up best when the baale is the thickest. Our coaching staif had gi.e.i us enougn uope ana Otner sort? to stop the best of any team and we :elt ery good over what had seeped in during the past practices. We also agreed that skull-practice was quite the proper manner in which to break the ncvs to boys gentiy. In other words l emenary was ieauy to start for Louisville where the battle was to be staged and she felt as thougn she was prepared for nothing less than victory. Tuesday afternoon broke a long suspense for many members of the squad for up until then many of us were wary of what verdict the coaches might have reached. After twenty- three names had been read, train time was announced for six-thirty o ' clock of the following morning and the twenty-three happy boys packed their uniforms for the journey. Wednesday morning opened rather gloomy in the sky, but we couldn ' t stop to blend in wiih such nonsense because we were off to conquer a new field. Everyone got to the station before the appointed hour so as to hear the friend ' s story of how good we could play and that they were counting on us to carry the ball out of sight on th first play. We were in- formed that we coud beat John Harvard or any of the big boys and Louisville as well. We didn ' t miss a word of praise and everyone promised that they would take dead aim at that covey of Kentucky red birds. The train crew must have been playing for overtime because we uidn t leave the station uniil seven-thirty o clock Wednesday morning. And let us state here that we certainly appreciate the friends that came down to the station, it makes no dif- ference what they might tell us, the send-off is what helps to bring the bacon home. Everybody seemed satisfied for the train was whistling and the wheels rolling towards ihe battleground, ana everyboay was ready. Nothing was said about the rome ahead of us until we discovered that we were going over tlie same rails that had carried us to Jackson, Miss., a lew weeks previous. We coulu not be saastied for we kne,v we had conquered all of that lerritoiy, and bcsiues this we waiueJ to meet new fields of friends. We were not quieted i.uw.i uikii u was made plain mat wo were getting more ride for our money by going the Jackson route, and besiues we had failed 10 ngure in the pleasure of crossing Uld Miss at Vicksburg by ferry. Shortly after die disluibance was settled by promises for a longer ride and after the conductor, agents and other owners of the railroad had passed inspection of the train, we proceeded to pull our comrades out for air. The game of hide and go seek was over for a spell at least and now everybody might play at any game he might choose; for many games were being played— bridge games mostly, but black something was also being played. I never did learn just what Black he was but later learned he was a veteran of the World War. Later that day a convention of the Gentlemen ' elected one of its members to run for governor or president of any state that the train might drag us through. After the speaker had carefully written his campaign speech for Mississippi, he picked a most psychological moment for the opening address. He waited until the whole train was loaded upon The f ' elican, ' our trusted ferry, and until the clanging of every bell and the blowing of every whistle was at full blast before he opened his address. He told of the many ways of im- proving the commonwealth and especially of a better way to cross that creek. His speech was a success because he gathered in many bottled friends and gave more confidence to his party. i j j We were due to make connections at Jackson at some early hour the next morning but the engineer ' s wife needed a new pair of shoes and we didn ' t arrive until nine a. m. Our campaign reporter had stayed up all night sending the celebrated speech to press agents and trying to put a new wheel on the engine. We had a snappy practice that morning at Millsaps field and they were very nice to us, but why shouldn ' t they be?— we had conquered them into submission. This new train that they hung our hangout to was fast and carried us to Memphis on time. We looked at Memphis two hours that night and were off for the battle ground. The next morning something sloppy came crawling out over the top railing of an upper berth , just as if he didn ' t know those curtains would separate enough to crawl between, and he declared he had been riding trains for years. It was cold up in those parts and we dressed rather hurriedly for once but not much too soon for all of a sudden the train came to a stand still— we had reached Louisville. Many of the boys had made friends with dozens of people before the rest of us could get off the train. Mr. Brown met us at the station with all his cars which were painted to match his name. He took us to Mr. Seelbach ' s place which is up town in among all that city noise. Mr. Seelbach has a fine house and it is a nice place to visit, he didn ' t crowd us into small rooms but gave us rooms large enough to stiff- starch or play leap-frog in. He also let us eat with his other guests in his large and elaborate mess hall downstairs. We didn ' t break anything so I guess he will ask us back again some day. We practiced that Friday morning on Red bird held and felt very good that afternoon —almost as good as winners. After a restless night everybody got up early for breakfast then went up to room 522 to get all taped up from head to foot so as to make people think we were being well cared for. Time rolled around and before we had time to belie e it, it was time to go to the battle grounds. As we walked out of Mr. Seelbach ' s house people began to shout and carry on like they were long lost friends of ours, I assure you I did not know a single one of them and later we forgot our flattery and decided they were friends of Mr. Seelbach ' s. We almost dropped dead when we walked to the e.lge of that Red bird field and saw and felt that black, slippery mud. It looked familiar to some of the boys— a good place to hunt frogs, but it was the place where the Louisville talent were planning to wallow us. It soon dawned on our feeble, slow-moving minds that we were slaLed for a mud daubing game of football, so in practice we ran a few formations— such as, music formation, slide trombone back, which is good for ten yards on any slippery field, old string b3an formation chile back, but the best of course for that day was mud formation dauber back, before the game was opened with the usual yells, everybody was so muddy ihat it was hard to recognize who they were yelling for. Well, our side won; we rolled that flock of Cardinals into a picture and framed them into a thirty-nine to thirteen and had more framing left. After the game we met more friends and more Colonels; we wished for our Dr. George— he would have enjoyed those Colonels. Some of the boys went out to dinner that evening but we all rode the same train out of town and back to the same level. We stopped for Sunday in Memphis, most of us went zooing; out there we found an animal that looked most like a college professor of by-gone days. Our speaker delivered a wonderful speech from a baggage car and took Memphis like Grant took Richmond. After a rather restless Sunday night we all got out of our private car to pass judgment on Texarkana and incidently to eat breakfast. We had hardly passetl judgment when the whistle blew and the wheels began rolling towards home. At eleven o ' clock promptly the train pulled in at our home station and I declare to you that before we would utter a word of protest we were placed upon the biggest fire wagon in Louisiana. We couldn ' t quite understand what it was all about but we passed the bacon around to our many friends. We had hardly got hold of that fire wagon when it started rolling and it rolled all over the uptown streets and a string of friends followed Us that reminded me of a 1917 preparedness parade. After we had settled down for a day we sent Mr. Seelbach a letter of appreciation :?or his hospitality and made everything square with our running mates at home and now the stage is all,, set for other battles. . Swede. ... • . Pl iBESHli ' - ■.. ' ; ., l ' :J. ..1 , ' ,J ' :- ) ' : All Honor to Whom All Honor Is Due THAT a chain is as strong as its weakest link is an old adage we have often had preached and diilled into us. Interpreting that from a football standpoint we would say that a team is as strong as its substitutes. No one realizes the truth of the latter more than tbe coach himself. On e.eiy football team there is always a group of men who seem to lack just a tittle something that prevents their making the varsity letter. These men are out there on the field giving their best every day in every way trying to get better and belter. But it seems that no matter how hard they try and how much energy they spend they just can ' t get over. In this group you will usually find the hardest working fellows on the squad. They realize they have a fighting chance to root someone out of a regular berth and they never give up that hope. Tbe Scrub ' is truly the hardest position on the team to play. When the time comes to pick the men who will be taken on the trips and someone has to be left at home it is always the Scrubs. When the coaches want a team to give the varsity a good hard practice scrimmage it is the Scrubs who get the call. The outsider doesn ' t realize what these men go through during tbe course of a season. Only the coaches know of their real value. And one of the pleasant things that makes coaching worth while is to have a faiihful bunch of men, who, although they do not make the team as a regular, are doing one of the biggest things possible towards making a winner for the school. These boys catch many hard knocks from the varsity without a murmur. While the game is on they sit on the sidelines with their heart an J soul in the work of the men who are out there in the thick of the battle— they know there is little possibility of their getting in unless the game is safely tucked away by a comfortable margin or perhaps some of the varsity get winded and there is a cry for reinforcements during about the last twenty seconds of play— Oh! what a thrill. They sometimes wait a full season to realize it. The hardest job of a coach has is to select the letter men. It is especially hard to leave some of the men out who have been tbe hardest workers. Those who have been out every day fighting and giving their best efforts for team and college. But there must be a dividing line. Too much tribute cannot be paid to those boys who give so much towards the develop- ment of a winning combination; those boys who have to take the kicks and the cuffs with the realization that they get no credit after it is over. There is no chance of seeing their name in print as making a long run for a score or in making a fine tackle possibly prevent- ing the tieing or winning touchdown. They know this will ever be but does it discourage them— never. It just makes these real men fight all the harder. Boys your time will come yet. It may be next year or it may take two but anyone who puts their all into it as you have done is bound to win a place. Carry on. So, varsity scrubs, in behalf of your President, Captain, Coaches, Faculty, Student Body, and Well-Wishers of Centenary I want to thank you for the part you played in making the team what it was. We know you did your best. You are not quitters— you are real men. Bo. Basketball Coach Norton has developed one of the strongest teams in the South. Too much praise can not be given him for his work. He has put out championship teams for the last two years. He is con- sidered the best basketball coach in the South. He has a knack of getting the best out of the boys. Clyde Wafer, Half Pint, captain, is a real basketball man. He was Norton ' s right hand man and deserves great credit for the success of the team. ' Half Pint was handicapped during the last of the season due to an attack of flu. Jwf Basketball Squad Frank Boydston ..Guard Lloyd Townsend Forward Buck Fletcher Fonvard Francis Morse Forward Jimmie Horton Guard Skinnie McGeath. . .Forward Jim Pierson Guard Jim Weaver Center Harry White Guard Review of Season THE 1923 basketball season at Centenary was one of the best experienced in many years. The championship of the Louisiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association was easily won, and a tie for the state championship was gained by splitting the two game series with Tulane on the latter ' s floor. On top of this, a northern invasion was made during which some of the best teams in Kentucky and Tennessee went down to defeat before the onrush of the ' Gentlemen. The majority of the games were playeJ on foreign floors and this should add all the mare to the glory of the season ' s results. This was due to the lack of a suitable playing court and also by se.eral of the opposing teams cancelling. When the first call to practice was issue J by Coach Norton there was a large squad to report. However, in a short lime this dw ' ndled down to about twelve men and they carried the work on during the remainder of the season. Six of last year ' s letter men were back and the recruits showed enough class to keep all theie men fighting to hold their positions. The first games of the year were with Normal and the Centenary Gym was packed to capacity both nights. The first game was close and hard fought but on the last night the Gentlemen seemed to find their stride and were able to double the score. After Marshall College was smothered under a fifty to seven score the boys were ready for their first road trip which was to take them to New Orleans for a two-game series with the Tulane Greenbacks. According to a misunderstanding of the S. I. C. rules Centenary was not permitted to use first year men and this deprived them of the services of one of their best point makers. From the results of the first game it looked as if we were in for a couple of good beatings as the Greenies came out on the long end of a 33-18 score. But after a good night ' s rest (?) there was a complete reversal of form and the Gentlemen evened up the score and went into a tie for the state championship. The next games were on the home courts of Louisiana College and State Normal. Normal again proved easy picking and the team journeyed to Pineville full of confidence. Here they were forced to play on a large outdoor court which was something the boys were not accus- tomed to and the game was lost by the close margin of one point. The next night the result was never in doubt and the Gentlemen came within a few points of doubling the score. Due to the fact that Southwestern lost to Louisiana College and the latter was defeated by Normal a clear claim to the Association championship was granted Centenary. The big trip of the year carried the team into Kenucky and Tennessee where some of the best teams in that section were met. After an all night and all day ride on the Pullman, and the usual late arrival over said railroad, Chattanooga was reached over an hour after the scheduled time for the game. Play was started at almost ten o ' clock and with two regulars just up from a recent sickness it looked like a runaway during the first half. With a changed lineup in the last part, Chattanooga was given one of the biggest scares of her career and was only able to win out by four points. From here we passed on to Lexington, Kentucky, where the State University was downed with a fair margin to spare. Townsend. who had been carrying the brunt of the scoring in the other games, received a badly smashed nose which handicapped him for the remainder of the trip. Great passing and teamwork was evi- denced in this game and it was carried on to Centre College for the next night where the famous Colonels were handed a clean beating in their own back yard. Centre was by far the best quintette in their state last year being both collegiate and independent champions. Carson and Newman College was the next stop and in one of the cleanest and fastest games the writer has ever seen the Fighting Parsons were victorious. In the opening minutes it looked like a walkaway for Centenary when Pierson dropped in three from the middle of vhe floor before the opposition had a chance to try at their goal. Townsend added two more points on free throws and it lookeJ like it was all over. But the long road trip began to tell and by the end of the first half we were on the short end of the score. After a good day ' s rest and a visit to hear Billy Sunday it looked like smooth sailing at the University of Tennessee. Here the pass work was fine but so many crips were missed under the basket that it almost gave the coach heart failure. We had twice as many shots at Tennessee but just could not find the basket, anil another game was put on the Wi ' ong side of the ledger. The last game was at Sewanee antl in order to make it fifty-fifty for the trip we had to take it out on them. After slowing up in the first half a more serious attitude was taken and the score was more than doubled. Too much credit cannot be given the players for the successful season. However, the most pleasing part of the season was in the clean, soprtsmanlike conduct displayed at all times. It cannot be said that there were any outstanding stars because it was ihe teamwork and not the work of individuals that went as far to make the year a good one. Each man had a particular part to play and each man carried out this part to the letter.

Prospects for Baseball THE old football field, made famous by the 1922 Gentlemen is no more— in its place is the new baseball diamond. The goal posts have been removed, the fence torn down and the east side bleachers transformed into seats for the sunfield gang. The ground keeper has been hard at work getting the playing field in shape for the forty odd candidates who answered Coach Homer Norton ' s first call to practice. Full equipment has been issued with the exception of the new uniforms which will be on hand by the date of the first scheduled game. With only five men, Captain Pattison, catcher; Read, second baseman; Pruet and Dowling, outfielders; Porter, pitcher from last year ' s nine to start with, Coach Norton was confronted with the tedious task of building an entirely new team. Porter, the pitching ace of last year, is back and Coach Norton is depending on him for most of the hard work. Porter ' s development last year was wonderful and the knowledge of the game gained then and with Coach Norton grinding him again he will be a thorn in his opponent ' s side. White and Phillips have been doing most of the work in the box during the practice ses- sions wilh Mattison coming in as a relief man. Phillips depends more on his speed and con- trol with a fine change of pace. White has a good curve and is able to control it but has not developed the necessary change of pace to make him a consistent winner. He is a hard worker and is developing fast into a very promising moundsman. Mattison ' s curve goes good for a few innings and makes an ideal relief man but hardly looks able to go the entire route. The ca ' .ching department will be well taken care of by Weaver and Ellsworth. Bush also looks like an ideal man for this position if his shoulder does not interfere wilh Tiis throwing to the bases. All three of these fellows are of husky build, have good throwing arms and arc vicious hitters. The infield looks strong with two or more men fighting for each position. Pruet, one of the outfielders of last year, is being used at first along with Hilden, a new comer. Bob Read will be at second with Tooke and Long, two more first year men, at short and third respec- tively. Tooke and Read will make a fast combination around the keystone bag and are mighty fast in getting off double plays. Long will take care of the hot corner in fine fashion and both Hilden and Pruet will alternate at first. However, Brown and McGhee of third and short respectively, will be missed in this year ' s lineup. Brown was a heavy hitter and a good fielder. McGhee also was a good hitter. The outfield seems the most uncertain at this time as there is a large number of candidates for the three positions. George Pattison is a certainty in centerfield and he can be used be- hind the bat in an emergency. The other two positions will be decided between young Bush, Boydston, Bridges, Lacey and Peavy, with Bush and Boydston getting the call in the early games. The team as a whole will be some better this year. Coach Norton is well pleased with the prospects. He says with a few weeks ' practice his team will be able to cop the pennant without any doubt. The squad is showing the same kind of spirit that you saw on the grid- iron last fall and have set their goal for a clean slate this year. The schedule calls for some twenty-odd games with college teams and several practice games with Hirsch-Leman, American Legion and the Gassers. There will be two long trips. One of four games will be taken in the southern part of Louisiana and the other calls for six games and will go into the northern part of the state and into Southern Mississippi. w y % M Ni . y t 1 e i .cx Freshman Class Officers Chares Dutton President Sam Carter Vice-President Norene Wiuvins Secretary Mary Kaiherine Holder .

SAM YORK Kansas City, Mo. 11 fil m 111 The Academy CENTENARY COLLEGE has always maintained an Academy or High School Department, but until last year this department has always been a part of the College in all its activities. In 1922 President Sexton completed arrange- ments to have the Academy completely separate from the College in the matter of buildings, equipment ,and teachers, and on September 26, 1922, the Academy began its first session as an entirely separate school. Throughout the year its boarding department has had every room filled with boys and its attendance which is set at 150 students has been practically full the entire year. In December, 1922, at the annual meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges and Accredited High Schools in New Orleans, Cente- nary Academy was approved as a fully accredited high school, thus becoming recognized as a standard preparatory school whose graduates will be accepted by any college in the entire South. It is proposed to make the school entirely selective in the matter of its students and next year ail students entering the Academy will have to present a certificate not only of scholarship, but also of correct habits and character. It is the purpose of the school to serve each stu- dent, especially in the following ways: first, to give physical attention and training which will develop in each student so far as possible a sound, healthy body; second, to make a careful study and analysis of the mental abilitiy and trend of each student to the end that it may help him to disc3ver himself and point his career in a path of his greatest possibilities; third, that it may arouse in each student a great ambition to accomplish the very best in life for himself; fourth, that it may give a type of instruction that will instill the habits of mas- tery in his life; fifth, that it may surround him with an influence that is Chris- tian to the end that his life may become saturated with a Christian spirit.

Hassell Facts and Follies (Continued) Not long ago the well known au- thors, Nathan and Mencken, assaulted the public with a book called, The Credo of American People. In the preface of this volume they explained that the purpcse of their Credo is not to present a series of beliefs or super- stititons which are common to Amer- icans, but to forward a group of ideas which are not necessarily true but which the American people believe in. In imitation, the makers of this Centenary Credo do not wish to re- sort to an experiment at spoofing, but in contrast hope to present a few beliefs which are sacred to every Centenary student.

The Old Fable ™ With A New Meaning In the old fable an Axe challenged a Scythe to a contest to prove which had the greatest cutting powers. Before the test both rushed to the grind-stone for keener edges. As the stone revolved, grinding itself away, on the Axe and Scythe, it groaned, and this is what it said: cut nothing— because I grind myself away making others sharp. Whereupon Axe and Scythe humbled— stopped their dis- pute saying they had naught for which to boast— for with- out the grind-stone neither would have an edge. CENTENARY COLLEGE is a great grind stone— whetting the wits of its students— prepar- ing them to cut and carve their way through obstacles and diffi- culties to success. Because of the gratitude of former students, and the gen- erosity of other friends, the old grind stone is renewed (by means of endowment) and kept revolving. On account of its reputation for finely finished edging Centenary has had to do unusually heavy grinding this year. From great distances they have come and Centenary has sharp- ened them into keen Lawyers, Doctors, Dentists, Ministers, Mer- chants, Planters and others. Its a fetching story— this of the work of Centenary— ask for it. Address PRESIDENT, GEO. S. SEXTON, D.
