There was weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth in this noble crowd, while trying to select the respective programs amidst jeers and fun poked at them by the other classmen. But this was a brave bunch, and they all survived their freshman year unhampered and conquerors. Another year has passed. We no longer wear the green ribbons, we are sopho- mores, and have joined the merry throng to help make life miserable for the incom- ing freshmen. It took us the entire year to realize the near kinship of the freshmen and that there were still higher classmen on the campus. Juniors! We could hardlv realize this fact, and it was now that our brains showed the first signs of real development. Time had completely removed the hereditary troubles of our freshmen and sophomore years. We now began to render service to our college, we were on the Conglomerate and Yoncopin staffs. The duties of the Literary Societies, the Glee Club, and Fraternities which helped to make college life profitable and pleasant, memories of which will forever live in the minds of the Junior class. There is sadness which comes with the realization of becoming a Senior, of leaving your school, the faculty and your friends you have learned to love and admire. We do not take to ourselves all the honor and knowledge which we have attained, but to the faculty who have been so loyal and patient with us. We hope that we can render as great and appreciable a service to others as they have rendered to the Class of 1924. There has been a great many changes which have taken place since our entrance to Centenary. Each change for the better and always progressive. We have seen a new Centenarv born and on its way to maturity and success. And when we have become Statesmen, Poets, Theologians, Pedagogians, we will be proud to mention our Alma Mater. Centenary, and always proclaim membership in the Class of ' 24. • — Louise hide. i ii iniMiiiiiuiniiji ujiijxLUJLL a iTrii MMnTrrTrrriiiunM wtnnnnTTTTfsitiiiii iiit iiii i ih tnnnii iiiiumn S ' f. mm nr m Carl R.

The world was theirs; they had few serious thoughts. Knowledge and achievement were theirs for the claiming, and they came to claim all. Rushing forward, they were too anxious and met the natural rebuff from those above them. Properly trimmed, however they buckled down to become the pride of the school. Sophomores in 1922 were not so fresh in their enthusiasm, but just as enthusi- astic as when a year younger. Thev entered the fray with a greater and deeper purpose. Frivolity was passing and more serious thoughts possessed their minds. During the second year they worked for even a higher purpose than ever before. The making of real men and women was in progress. Some students have achieved prominence in one line, some in others. Scholar- ship, Athletics. Glee Club, and Band have had their share of today ' s Juniors. Never has Centenary College seen a class that was more loyal to their Alma Mater. The class of ' 25 will be the first of the New Centenary. ' ' Through four years they will have worked with and for the school. At present the Junior class of twenty-eight members is just as staunch and strong as they ' ve showed themselves before. They ' re still achieving success in many fields. They are growing in loyalty as their scanty store of knowledge is gradually increased. They grow more serious as they approach closer to graduation and the pursuit of their individual careers. They will be fit to attain their aim. Centenary will be proud of these men and women and their records. They are real Centenarians. — Sallie Mat Clingman. mimiiitiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiii, jnuiiniliiiiiiiiimmn P r: %eYO ' KCOPiyr W24 i f a 1 Sallie Mat Clingman Shreveport, Louisiana Phi Omega So well known to hold her own. that wht -the wills seem? wisest and best.

' The sophomores did shine that night as they always do. As thev sat around the camp- fire a spirit of loyaltv and school love enveloped them as a cloud, and thev realized anew the wonder and glory of working together for a common end. During football season it was the Sophomores who filled the rooters benches and yelled the loudest for ' Centenary and sang with the most fervor Alma Mater. When hour long speakers come to chapel it is the Sophomores who keep the quietest and yawn the least. When collections are taken up it is the Sophomores who are asked to pass the hat. The Sophomores are the students whose names fill the honor rolls, they are also prominent for their pep on picnics and swimming parties. Everywhere the Sophomores take the lead; they rush in and do the work that Seniors fear to tackle. Next year when the Sophomore class reaches the dignified Junior stage, even greater things are predicted. For with the profound love of Centenary they have in their hearts, and that up and doing spirit which is the homlier name for prog- gressive, what things cannot a year bring forth for the greater honor of Centenary and the Sophomore Class. — Helen Funderburk.

As a rule that man is looking for something that nets im- mediate returns. He is the man who, if he makes an investment in business, looks for that sort of speculation or investment that promises not only abundant returns, but immediate ones. The trend of present day business is in that direction. We are living in a fast age, men want action and want it quick. The fewer the pre- liminaries the better. It is doubtless a fact that the average college student can ' t point out anv im- mediate compensation that he will derive from his four years of study. The purpose of college is to train for greater and more intelligent service to mankind. It is true that many college graduates do not render much service to society, but that isn ' t the fault of the college. To counter balance this element, however, we have men, who with their native ability cultivated and trained in col- lege, are able to give far more than if they had not been educated. There is the skeptic who can show you men prominent in church, state and business, who are self-made men. Men who never darkened the threshold of a college. All honor to these men. They have proved to the world the stuff of which they are made. But, it is beyond our range of vision to estimate what these men might have been, had they been fortunate enough to get a college education, to smooth out and cultivate this great natural ability. Speaking of education we are asked, if what we get in books is all, why not get the books and not go to college? In the first place, the college provides men to teach the subject matter of a book, who are specialists. They can give to the student invaluable side-lights on the book that are not included in the book itself. Further the student gets the benefit of the teachers experience and knowledge of life. The teachers ' influence very often helps the student find himself and choose the right road in life. Then, last but not least, comes the association of student to student. One meets the bovs and girls in college, who in a few years will be the leaders in society. Friendships are made that will last throughout life. Student life is fostered through the various organizations on the campus. It is in the organization that team work is practiced, just as on the football field. The views of others are heard and ap- preciated. The student learns the value of councilling together with his fellows; of knowing that sometimes the opinions of others are as good as his, and that very often the greatest good is done by taking advantage of the council-room. There is much in books, but the organization lends to the education of a man the opportunity to practice what he learns and gives him experience that will stand him in good stead through all his life. ll l llllllllllllllim i l[lH l lli ' :iM Jl[Mi l lllli|l|Miuiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i Mlll i iiMn iiii n ii ii ii n iii ii ii! iiiiliiiiiiiii i Ministerial Club The Ministerial Club is an organization of young ministers in the college with a three-fold purpose: 1. To help the college in every way it finds possible. 2. To develop the spiritual life of the membrs. 3. To aid each member in the preparation of his life ' s work. Founded in the year 1921, it only has a short history, but a prosperous one. Judging by its short past and its accomplishments thus far, we prophesy that it will play a great part in the building of a Greater Centenary. MEMBERS G. H. Corry _ _ . . .

We try to acquaint ourselves with the most worth while things of life and to promote good in the college and among the student body. We endeavor always to be loyal and true. We are hoping that as the years pass each succeeding year may find us doing more effective work in stimulating an atmosphere of friendliness and sincerity at Centenary College.

In a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths Where highways never ran; But let me live by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Let me live in a house by the side of the road. Where the race of men go bv, The men who are good and the men who are bad. As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner ' s seat, Or hurl the cynic ' s ban: Let me live in a house by the side of the road. And be a friend to man. I see from my house by the side of the road, By the side of the highway of life, The men who press with ardor of hope. The men who are faint with the strife. But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears, Both parts of an infinite plan; Let me live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead And mountains of wearisome height; That the road passes on through the long afternoon And stretches away to the night. But still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice. And weep with the strangers that moan. Nor live in my house by the side of the road Like a man who dwells alone. Let me live in my house by the side of the road Where the race of men go by; They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong. Wise, foolish — so am I. Then why should I sit in the scorner ' s seat, Or hurl the cynic ' s ban? Let me live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. anxj-LLL UMinininu i M i iH uuum m mut m i 1 1 1 m n mih u mii i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 t qiojiiinxi: w 1 1 n n m i ui it YONCOPnr fl v TfZZzZZ ti The Yoncopin Staff C.

McComb. The club struggled along and were hard to please and very little was done until Mr. Arkwell was found and consented to take the directorship. Mr. Arkwell is an accomplished musician, having been under some of the foremost artists in this country. He has a wonderfully rich baritone voice and is as well endowed with the ability to teach others the art of singing. Under the leadership of Mr. Arkwell the Club took new life, they had found a man who was more than equal to the task before him and every one buckled down to real work and in a short time the Glee Club was well on its way toward success. Although last year ' s Club was a wonderful success and made much progress it is not to be compared to the work that has been accomplished this year. The ex- perience most of the members received last year has stood them in good stead this year and they have taken advantage of this previous experience. The Glee Club is one of the College ' s best advertising mediums. Wherever the Club goes they always carry the town away, at it were, and the people of the state who have heard them on tour concede them best Glee Club in the state. Centenary is proud of it ' s Glee Club, for it is an example of the real high class of work that is going on here. Those who hear the Club, hear and see a brand of entertainment that will rank along with any of the up-to-date amusements afforded by the theatres of the land. There are many throughout the state who appreciate this. They recognize the work and the ability necessary to put on such a first class show and thanks to them, they are not backward in giving Centenary the benefit of their just praise. ilium I k yonc opiyr iff W.

But soon after Prof. Morehead took charge the boys all became interested. All members from last year ' s band reported for work along with many new ones. Prof. Morehead was so well liked and the boys worked so hard that by the time our football team played its first home game the band was ready to function. And it did function, not only at the first game but at all home games during the football season. The band helped the pep of the team to such an extent that when the team went to Conway, Arkansas, to play Hendrix College, the band was taken along. Later in the year the band accompanied the football team to Fort Worth, Texas, for a game there. At each accasion the band showed so much pep and school spirit that the men of the team said that is the peppiest bunch of fellows we ever saw. After the football season was over the band did not stop work. There were rehearsals at least once a week preparing for a concert tour. The band and glee club combined forming the Centenary Musical Club for a concert tour of the state. Everywhere the concert was given it was received with great appreciation. The work of the band received many individual compliments as well as the hearty support of every audience before which it played. The Chamber of Commerce of Shreveport is planning a Good Will tour of the state in the latter part of May in the interest of the Commercial enterprises of the City. Of course they wanted the very best band that could be had to lead them in their parades and to give concerts for them, so the Centenary College band has been engaged to accompany them. imiiiimiiimimiiniiiiin mfe fiHimiHiiiiiiiiiitiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiMiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimi until £ 5pmiiili|.i.iiniiinim rT % S.

HHHIimillMJimTTTr : 1924 Choral Club The Choral Club was organized in November, 1923, and marks a decisive step forward in the activities of the college. The college has made amazing strides in the last few years in every department. The number of students has been increased four-fold: the faculty has been made to be superior to many and equal to all; the class of work done is A grade in every respect; in athletics Centenary has ranked first place among the colleges of the South. Last year the Glee Club was organized and proved itself a wonderful success, only to be continued this year and made far superior than our fondest dreams. All this activity naturally led to something special for the girls. Hence the organization of the Choral Club. The club is under the efficient and capable direction of Miss Nina Gene Shelby, who is teacher of voice in the college and a finished musician. The club is very fortunate in securing the talent and services of Miss Shelby and great things are expected from them. Although many of the girls had never had their voices trained they have made rapid progress in the few months they have been organized. It is certain as the time draws near for the road trips, interest will be intensified much more than it has been. The club has appeared in recitals throughout the city and before a number of distinguished organizations, and will give concerts in several adjoining cities before the close of the school year. The programme and repertoire of the club includes classical, popular and sacred numbers. Duets, stringed instruments, quartets, readings, and comedy acts. ilMIIMnMlllllllllllHMIltnilllMI II MIM I MIII I IUllliUlilJJI lMl l llllll l M liUUiiU y eYONCOPIlTT ffa ft V ■ ii i nH i n ii Hium i i ii i «i '  i n lUf iiiminii itininiiiiiiiiimnii itiimitftim limill IIMflf i H mTTTT TTP SfreYONCOPIir g Musical Activities Although we are not going to dwell on the laurels of past glory, it is well to mention what we have done in the past. Last year Music, as a Department, was taken up in earnest and a very talented young lady, Miss Catherine McComb, undertook the task of putting over a real program for the year. All honor to Miss McComb, for she toiled and labored until she made a grand success of the Glee Club. The success of the Glee Club of last year was due largely to her efforts. In fact she was such a favorite with the members of the club that it was a difficult task for any one to step in her place this year. When we settled down to business this year and had a little time to look around we found that we had a Music Department with, three splendid workers. Miss Shelby, in charge of the voice pupils and the Choral Club, Mr. W. J. Arkwell, director of the Glee Club; and Mr. Morehead, director of the Band. There is a good deal that could be said about each of these organizations. Miss Shelby has proven herself a favorite on the campus. Mr. Arkwell has filled what seemed to be an unfillable position, as director of the Glee Club, and with the experience of last year added to his fine ability has made a Glee Club that any college could well afford to be proud of. The Club making its spring tour in connection with the band, made a big hit in the towns and cities visited. In the Fall a young college man ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of football, the great college sport. Someone away back in the days of Rome must have dis- covered that martial music fires the soul, as well as soothes the savage beast. Mr. Morehead, started out right in the beginning and organized a band. Being an ex- perienced director the preliminaries were short, and the first thing we knew Cen- tenary had a real band. At every game the band was there and sounded off, filling the air with music and making each heart light. Those were great old days, when the spirited playing of the band announced that Centenary had made another touch- down. The band soon became an auxiliary to the team, for on several trips the band went along to show the foreigners we were all behind the team. After football season and with the beginning of a new term the Band and Glee Club were consolidated. The two organizations being under separate directorship but many of those sining in the Glee Club, also played in the band, hence the com- bination was a happy one. As Centenary grows and each year takes more her rightful place in the Educa- tional Arena of Louisiana, every department is keeping pace, and as one compact whole, the college is moving forward, doing better work and making more friends every day.

These young huskies came from throughout the surrounding country and from unheard of towns. Filled with am- bition they made keen competition and were doing all possible to wrench a position from one of the fifteen letter men who were back. Things started off slow, Jupiter being unwilling to permit fair weather, how- ever all were determined, all had but one end in view. While we were not on the football field working we were in the class-room having skull practice. We talked football, thought football, ate football and dreamed football; and for three long weeks we were hard at it twice a day. Then came school with grades to make, but with it, came what we had lived for; that opening game, and thirty-five well con- ditioned, super-coached, Gentlemen left with a band of supporters for Lafayette where we were to open the season. It was a good day and our team was in condition and all were anxious to hear the starter ' s whistle. Cal Hubbard kicked off and the season had started. We wanted that first taste of blood and we got it, but only after twenty minutes of hard struggling, then went the fire-works and before dark could catch us we were leading 35-0. The next was our first home game, with Henderson-Brown. We wanted the people of Shreveport to know we had a team; we wanted to show the effects of our good coaching and if a 40-3 score will do it, we did. Then came the University of Chattanooga, when bang right off the bat they scored a touch-down. It was the first time our goal line had been crossed and made our boy ' s blood boil, and pound, pound they did until the final whistle gave relief to the much battered band from the Volunteer State; another victory, and this time 46-7. Away again and this time to open the new stadium for Hendrix College at Con- way, Ark. We hung crepe all over that town when we walked off with a winning score of 33-13, thanks to Glenn Letteer. The Fair game showed us forty-six points better than Louisiana State Normal with the scrubs doing most of the work. Undefeated we went to Fort Worth and undefeated we returned, but not until Muriel Hogue proved himself too much for those Horn Frogs. This battling Texan kept the T. C. U. forwards smeared in the mud all day. He did all a coach could as k and was instrumental in our 23-0 victory. Matty Bell coached T. C. U. and was with Bo at Centre, another reason why we had to win for Bo. Our thoughts then turned to Boston and with enthusiasm running high we ran over Kentucky Normal 75-6. Howard Reynolds, sporting editor of the Boston Post witnessed this game to get a line on the Gentlemen for the Boston game. Then we are off and before 23,000 frenzied spectators we lost to the Boston Eagles 14-0. It was a bitter battle and our defeat was, as sport writers say, due to over-anxiousness and in-experience. We gave our all and were not ashamed even in defeat. We lost but never stopped fighting. Time after time we were in striking distance only to loose the ball. To remove the sting of this defeat we came home and beat Southwestern Uni- versity of Texas 34-0. Then jumped to Atlanta and left Oglethorpe on the small end of a 14-0 score. This was a Jonah to Jim Weaver. The night before the game {Continued on next page) imiiiimiiiinn||)inmiinnir j aillilliuuiiimuiiiumiHiinimiiniiuniiinmimmiiitnminnniii £ 5 nMiiih|.umiiiimu ' m Z%eYOttCOT?ttT lS 2g he was run over by a pop-corn wagon, (Moral Never try to pick up a lady ' s hand- kerchief). And in the game he received a fractured bone in his right leg. Turkey Day and L. P. I. Here was the real battle, the one all North Louisiana had been talking about. Cal Hubbard made his first appearance since an injury received in the Boston game. And he furnished much added fight to our team. Doctors had told him that he was through for the season, but he said only when I help beat L. P. I., and those several thousand fans who packed the stands can testify as to what he did. But those thousands could not know the spirit which went on the field that day. It was our last and we knew it. Some were playing their last game, and these big huskies stood dressing with tears streaming down their faces; they had to win and knew it. They knew it would be a battle but were unwilling to think of anything other than victory, and when they stepped on the field determination was written on each face. As they fought one would have thought that their lives de- pended on the outcome. Back and forth they battled, now Centenary with the ball, now L. P. I. Then from the side-lines in goes a substitute quarterback, a signal is tailed, the ball snapped and a touchdown scored. The stands went wild, but in all probabitity out of those thousands only a few knew how it happened. On the side lines sat Coach Bo McMillin, the man behind the gun. He had seen the weak- ness in the defense and when the opportunity came he had taken advantage of it. Before the day was over it cost L. P. I. a 27-0 defeat to learn that there are yet un- solved tricks in an old game. But true to all tradition they went down fighting with every ounce of soul and muscle they had. It was over and we called it a successful season. With ten victories to one defeat, we think with all the fans of North Louisiana, that we have a just claim to the State Title. Any disputes arising from this question will be gladly and quickly settled by the Gentlemen at any time and any place. This cordial invitation is open to all. The fact that nine of the Gentlemen were given places on the Mythical Louisiana All State Eleven should strengthen our claim. Played a good game boys, was heard by many, and words of praise were frequently for those who raced up and down that oft-time blood-smeared gridiron. Cheers were given time after time and that lineman who tumbled the opponent for a loss had his name broadcasted all over sportdom. Fans were few who really knew the secret for our success, of course they knew of Bo, but they never realized what it. meant to one of his men when he said, Fight for me boys. And Coaches Norton and Minton both had their hearts wrapped in the souls of our team, but was this it, yes, but not all. While on the field we battled there was another battle on the side lines, for Doc George took every knock that one of his boys took, and each game was a terror for him, till we had it safely stored away in the Win Column. Other reasons for our success were many, but in our own praises let us not forget him who the fans see not, but he who makes the team possible; the Scrub. He is never heard of, yet he takes the bangs, pains and all the varsity knocks, and when they leave he remains and yet comes back and fights again. He knows he is not the best but still he goes on and throughout the season, day by day he works. It is he who fashions a winning team. Anyone can play a winning game, but it takes a man to keep coming back when all hopes are nearly gone. It ' s the Scrubs the coaches appreciate. It ' s the Scrubs who have the team at heart, and it is the Scrubs who we take our hat off to, for there is many a varsity who can carry on for fame, but the Scrubs are the ones that in their souls must know that the single deed, with its touch of thrill doesn ' t tell us the man you are. There is no lone hand in the game we play. We must fight for bigger need, and the thing that counts in the world today is how do you pull with the team.

Of course you remember, but have you ever put the blame for defeat on any single cause? Just keep the echo of all that jabbering in your mind while we talk about the trip to Boston and around. The boys will never forget that practice on Monday, a few hours before we left for Boston. It was doubtless the most severe acid test we had undergone the whole year. Colonel Bo kept his mouth open the entire practice, and failed to break the monotony with a single kind word until he called them all in and announced the names of those who were going to make the trip. Their hearts were light but their feet were stone heavy, as they draggd off to the club-house. Shortly before 6:50 o ' clock on that Monday afternoon, they all gathered at the station, and will never forget the send-off given them by their enthusiastic ad- mirers, and how sure they were casting off to gain a greater pigskin success. All aboard ! Good-bye, so-long, good-bye. Pour it on ' em! Bring the bacon home boys. ou boys are the best. Good luck. Good-bye. Poor Ole 1- Boston! This with many other Good-byes and good lucks, mingled with the martial send-off of the band lingered with them throughout the entire trip. The following morning they rested for a few minutes in St. Louis, and left there in the afternoon for Buffalo. The party arrived in Buffalo early Wednesday and on the same morning practiced at Niagra Falls. After practice Colonel gave orders not to try and barrel tricks over the Falls, and to be sure not to miss the train that was to carry them to the city of Beans. The boys didn ' t try any barrel tricks and further, they didn ' t miss seeing a single thing of interest in these United States or in Canada. One of the boys wondered if Canadian Club was a part of one of the trees. Thursday at noon they arrived at old Back Bay station, and dismounted. They were haltered and led directly to the Lenox Hotel, where they spent the remainder of their time while in Boston. The entire afternoon of Thursday was spent in thorough practice. Being Gentlemen they were conspicuous, and nobody could dispute the fact that they were Gentlemen because each countenance was well hidden under the brim of their ten-gallon hats. Thursday night found most of the boys at the theatres, enjoying everything from burlesque to Hamlet. Upon checking the ■■nniiini rooms that night, the coaches were greatly surprised to find out that no one had been lost. On Friday morning they practiced again, putting the finishing touches on the plays that were to defeat Boston College. That afternoon the keys of the City were turned over to Bo and Mrs. Sexton; the first time in the history of Boston that a woman had been so signally honored. After this they enjoyed a lengthy trip, involving all the historical points of interest in the vicinity of Boston. They traced the very footsteps of Ole ' Paul Revere, and viewed the homes of several of the well-known New England authors. After this trip the boys were more than willing to retire at an early hour, and to obtain a good night ' s rest before the mighty battle. Early Saturday morning it wasn ' t necessary to awaken some of the boys for some of them had slept with one eye open, determined not to let the foe slip up on them. At last it was taping time, and at last they were certainly tapped. A stranger would have thought they had gone in for toe-dancing. A few minutes pas t lunch they were ordered to don their war .garb and make ready for battle. They were hurriedly conveyed to Brave ' s field and turned loose in the arena. Our boys were painted up in the latest war colors and so were the boys of B. C. Both teams were very anxious for the game to start, but everybody had to wait a while until they could tear some of that war tape off the hands of the Bostoners. The band then played The Star Spangled Banner, while the crowd stood at attention. Immed- iately following this the ball was put into play by Hubbard, who kicked it a hundred and twenty thousand feet high. Such a boot enabled old Ironsides Weaver to get down under it and get the man in his tracks. Darling punted to Letteer on Cen- tenary ' s forty-yard line, and before you could bat an eye, the Gentlemen had carried that skin forty yards, only to drop it into the hands of the receiver. First it was nip, then tuck, but tuck finally won 14 to 0. The Boston boys had a peculiar ex- pression on their faces until Hubbard was forced from the game with a wrenched knee. From then on their chances became greater, and they fought with a greater determination against a weaker team. It was a sad-faced bunch of boys that boarded the train for home that night, for they felt that they had lost all that meant success in their football endeavors. They felt that they had greatly disappointed many friends, and did not anticipate the joy of facing them again. They did not sleep a wink that night, but talked over the defects of that game, as the train rolled southward, toward our Nation ' s Capital. They spent Sunday sight-seeing and visiting all the historical points along the Potomac. At sundown they resumed their journey homeward, and on Tuesday morning reached the home town. Although they had met with defeat they could not have been honored more had they been victorious. Now let us revert to the jabbering which we heard before the game. All that confidence and over-confidence was not formulated into a combined determined force by all the individuals of the team alike. This does not mean that our boys did not play a high brand of football, but it does mean that some of them under- estimated their own ability as compared with the ability of the opponents. — Swede Anderson milium iiiiiiiiiiHitmiimiiiitii fe S mmmnmn Captain Wafer — C Tackle, Captain Half-Pint ' lead the Gentlemen and a noble Captain was he, his heart was with his team, and he won the respect of all his players.

All State halfback ' 22 and ' 23; Mention All Souther ' 23. HlLDEN C . ,End Pap has been with us two seasons and is a defensive wonder; he can catch passes in any shape or form ; prefers difficult chances. To send him down under a punt meant they were never to be returned. He has a foot- ball heart and is a clever player. All State End ' 23. York— C .End A deadly receiver of foreward passes, and a fine defensive man are the outstanding qualities of this player. He is a firm be- liever in the saying, that dead men tell no tales. Hogue — C . A Ball hawk and a defensive terror. There never was a loose ball all season that he wasn ' t on it before it reached the ground. This is his first year of college ball and is a going thing. All State Guard 23. Ellsworth — C Tackle Sloppy the Uptown boy who always wore a smile. He was a man the coaches love because he could always be counted on. Our greatest lament is that it may not be possible for him to be with us next year. Davis — C Tackle Jelly another contribution from Texar- kana high was slow getting started but de- veloped wonderfully as the season progressed, and on Thanksgiving Day closed his first year of college tootball in a blaze of glory. Pierson — C Guard It is seldom that we find a player with the qualities which this player posses; on the offense he has plenty of drive and is a wonder at leading interference; on the de- fense a quick charger and a very vicious tackier. All State guard ' 23. Rebsamen — C Center A bad knee gave him a slow start but before the season was very old he had proven to the coaches that they could not do with- out him. He is the most accurate passer we have ever seen. On defense he has an uncanny ability to diagnose plays. Anderson — C Halfback Swede ' is the most consciencious trainer we have ever seen and with wonderful per- sonality he has always kept the team in the best of spirits in the bluest of days Besides playing he was trainer for the team. toh Letteer — C Halfback Man ' O War came to his own in the Hendrix College game. He circled their ends for many yards and hit the line as though shot from a gun. In the L. P. I. game he proved himself a great passer and a reliable tackier. All State Halfback ' 23 White — C .Quarterback Whitey is a triple threat man, and on defense he is about the hardest tackier ,you can imagine. His spirit is wonderful, and best of all he has two more years. Miller — C Fullback Mule ' was a steady, ever dependable, slash- ing, smashing, fullback. Any time a few yards were needed he would hurl himself through the line with the same result as that of a big steam roller. A great fighter and a wonderful interferrer. All State full- back ' 23. Stone — C Fullback Last fall Stoner looked like a new man. He had the same old fight with more deter- mination, and it was by that never say die spirit of his that he is entitled to wear that coveted C .

At all times he showed that he possessed the quali- ties of a seasoned quarterback. It won ' t be long till coaches can relax and view a finished product. Ben nett — C Center Coming to us from Texarkana High he played his first year of college football, and a more willing worker could not be wished for. He has three more years is the best part of it all. Lawrence 1 — C Halfback Reel. the Texarkana Flash proved to the football world, in Boston before 23.000 fren- zied fans, that he could do all that could be asked of a football player. In a few min- utes this red-headed, freckled-faced deminu- tive could steer many faces in the ground. Bush — C Guard The height of his ambition was to help beat Ruston. A broken collar bone prevented this last year, but this year his ambitions were realized when the Gentlemen ran over the Bull-dogs 27-0. Prospects of 1924 Centenary and her loyal supporters throughout the State are looking forward with a great deal of interest to the 1924 football season. If our team is to keep abreast with the progress of Centenary we must forever advance our standing, the prospects for 1924 are indeed very bright and indicate a season of unsurpassed possibilities. The ' 24 schedule is much harder than any schedule ever attempted by a Cen- tenary team. This schedule was arranged with the idea in mind to give the people of North Louisiana a brand of football which they have never witnessed. Each team we play is a match for any college or university; there are no easy games on the schedule. By ' easy, ' I refer to a team that Centenary could easily lord it over. In every game we play there will be a fight for the title and honor of the game, and the team who wins will say they fought hard and with determination for this honor whether the team be Centenary or the opponents. The first game of the 1924 season is with Loyola University. The Gentlemen defeated these boys in ' 22 and they are coming back to Shreveport for revenge. The next game is with Trinity University of Waxahachie, Texas. This team has made a wonderful record in Texas athletic circles and they will try to keep up the good work this year. On October 18, Centenary will play Butler University at Indianapolis. This game will be one of the hardest of the season. October 18, is home-coming day for the Butler boys and you know they will fight hard for that game; however, Cen- tenary will be there when the fighting takes place and we hope to bring the game back home with us tucked safely under our arms. The next Saturday back in Shreveport we play the Tennessee Doctors. The Doctors gave Centenary her only defeat in 1922, and in 1924 we hope to avenge the score and even things up. After this game the ' Gentlemen will journey to South Texas where they will meet Howard-Payne of Brownwood. Then we return home and play Central College of Oklahoma. After the Central College game preparations will be under way for the game with Boston College. This season we go to Boston with more experience, a better knowledge of the Boston team, a better knowledge of our own abilities and with a determination to win. On Thanksgiving Day we meet St. Louis University at St. Louis. Then we re- turn home, begin to train hard and condition ourselves for the Lombard game on December 4th. It will be remembered that Lombard is the college that lead Notre Dame through the first half of their game last year by ten points and not until the third quarter did Notre Dame take the lead. The schedule of 1924 has been carefully prepared and studied, the games are scheduled in order; the experience of one game leading up to the other. The schedule arranged in this manner keeps the men on edge and in a high key. To you, Varsity men who played with Centenary against Boston, must remember we have at least four games equal to Boston and the remaining games right at that class of football. Every fellow will have to come back and train harder and play better than they have ever played or trained before. In Jim Weaver you have a captain and leader of whom you can be justly proud, one who knows the game, even to its most intricate details, and one in whom you can personally confide in. — flo. iiiinMiHiBiimiimmimnifcfv- . .. ! iiiiiiiimuiiiniiiinmnninr iiinmiiwdw— ww— Biinm iiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiu fe inimiiiiiimmiiiitvu fSn The Game of Life Bill Jones had been the shining star upon his college team; His tackling was ferocious and bucking was a dream. When husky William tucked the ball beneath his brawny arm, They had a special man to ring the ambulance alarm. Bill hit the line and ran the ends like some mad bull amuck; The other side would shiver when they saw him start to buck; And when a rival tackier tried to block his dashing pace, His first thought was a train of cars had waltzed across his face. Bill had the speed — Bill had the weight — the nerve to never yield; From goal to goal he wizzed along while fragments strewed the field — And there had been a standing bet, which no one tried to call. That he would gain his distance through a ten-foot granite wall. When he wound up his college course, each student ' s heart was sore; They wept to think that husky Bill would hit the line no more; Not so with William — in his dreams he saw the field of fame, Where he would buck to glory in the swirl of Life ' s big game. He tried to run the ends of life, when lo! with vicious toss A bill collector tackled him and threw him for a loss; And when he switched his course again and crashed into the line, The massive guard named Failure did a two-step on his spine. Bill tried to punt out of the rut, but ere he turned the trick Right tackle Competition tumbled through and bl ocked the kick; And when he tackled at Success in one long, vicious bound, The fullback Disappointment steered his features in the ground. But one day, when across the field of Fame the goal seemed dim, The wise old coach Experience came up and spoke to him, Old boy, he said, the main point now before you win your bout Is keep on bucking Failure till you ' ve worn the lobster out. Cut out his work around the ends — go in there low and hard — Just put your eyes upon the goal and start there yard by yard; And more than all, when you are thrown or tumbled with a crack, Don ' t lie there whining; hustle up and keep on coming back. Keep coming back for all you ' ve got, and take it with a grin When Disappointment trips you up or Failure barks your shin. Keep coming back and il at last you loose the game of Right, Let those that whipped you know at least, they too, have had a fight. Keep coming back; and though the world may romp across your spine, Let every game ' s end find you still upon the battling line. For when the one Great Scorer ccmes to write against your name, He marks — net that you won or lost — but how you played the Game. Such is alumnus Football on the white-chalked field of life: lou find the bread line hard to buck, while sorrow crowns the strife; But in the fight fqr name and fame among the world-wide clan, There gees the victor ' sinks to naught before There goes a Man. — Grantland Rice. .IIIIIIUIIUIIUIIUillMIIIIUlU ■■.:■■■- ■ ' Basket Ball Front row: Norton, Coach; Beam, Forward; Horton, Guard; Fletcher.

Weaver — C Center Slow starting due to football injuries and it was not until late in the season that he get hot. Weaver is an all-round athlete and h s fine spirit never failed. Host on — C Guard Jim is a guard of rare ability and was the main ecg in our defense. He had that never-say-die spirit and didn ' t know the meaning of defeat. Captain elect for ' 24- ' 25. A wiser choice could not have been made. Beam — C Forward Abbie started off like a whirlwind and kept it up throughout the season. It couldn ' t have been luck or it wouldn ' t have lasted, but he sure had an eye for that hoop. Crawford — ' C Center Glenn played every position and played. them well. He ' s a man that a team can ' t do without. Send him in anywhere, anytime and he starts off like clock-work. Lacy — C Guard The older the season got the better Joe cot. In the last few games he got so hot he had to remove his shoes. About the hardest worker in the world, and with this year ' s ex- perience he ' ll bear watching next year. Fletcher — C . .Forward A seasoned veteran, a good floor man and though handicapped by injuries, Buck played fine ball throughout the se a snn. His greatest asset to the team was not his always brilliant playing but the confidence he crested among his team mates. Boydston — C Guard, Captain Was high point man of the season. Every day was his day, he never knew what it was to have a had day. An excellent shot and a wonderful dribbler combined with his thorough knowledge of the game made him a valuable man and a capable leader. S$ «s H. H. Norton Coach Words of praise here fitting are not to be found. He is a man we would all fight for, a man we would all die for, a lover of good sport and talked nothing but true sports- manship. Loved by all he got our hardest work and closet co-operation. i Season Write Up With the Football Championship safely stored away, all eyes were turned to the Cage Game and the prospects were such, that they brought delight to the hearts of all. There were six letter men back and the new material looked fine; a great team in the making. Then came the winter exams and the Christmas holidays. After that the dark, for after all that was over the ruling hand of that joy killing discipline committee had claimed four of our best. A winning combination had to be re-built. One can imagine how this tore at the heart of our coach, and it hurts us every one. But with more determination we set out again. Another captain was elected, another team formed, and again we started fighting with our backs to the wall. Our first game came after two days practice for some of us, but we won and kept on winning. Our offense was built around Captain Boydston, and it was largely due to his fine work that our success was so great on the defense. Jimmie Horton ' s work stood out in every contest and he was recognized as the best guard in this section. These were not all; Red Lawrence, of football fame, though he did not play many games, showed the qualities of a finished cage artist in all his performances. Others whose ability assisted these stars were: Weaver, center; Fletcher and Beam, for- wards. The individual scoring of each player showed his ability to hit the hoop and accounts for the largeness of our scores. Captain Boydston ' s work here again stands out like a Beacon Light. For the season he scored a total of 164 points. Following him came Beam with 87 points, Weaver was third with a total of 77 points. The others scoring in rather close order: Lacy 41 points, Crawford 18 points. The closeness of these points scored indicates the high degree of perfected team play which was noticeable throughout the entire season. y yoncopimtim mn% c Base Ball 1924 Prospects Coach Norton is a good hitter as well as plays third when Long pitches. In the Spring time a young man ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of baseball. And Centenary is no exception, as some thirty candidates are out rushing the eight , „ letter men who returned. Coach Norton is fortunate in the fact that he has so many of last year ' s team back. This enables us to get an early start and are all ready in mid-season form. The infield is intact from last year, as none of the new comers seem to be able to dislodge the letter men from their positions. Captain Weaver will in all probability do the receiving, although Dobson and Dasher furnish plenty of competition. White, Long, Davis, and Guice will bear the brunt of pitching. Hilden, Tooke and Pruet will take care of the infield, with Long playing third while not pitching. In the outfield its a real struggle. Cal Hubbard is playing on his hitting ability, the big fellow cracks them all over the lot. Beam fielder, while Bush is looking like a million dollars; he Crawford and Boydston show exceptional ability in fielding. On date of going to press our team has played nine college games and have yet to taste the cup of defeat. On the road we turned in a perfect trip and each team played has been given a set back. As it looks now there can be no slip-up that can take from us our claim on the L. I. A. Cham- pionship. White, a veteran of last years squad has two wins to his credit. Davis also has two wins in as many starts; one game he allowed only one run; the other was five innings due to rain, but until that time he had not al- lowed a run nor a hit. Only one man reaching first, and he by an error. Ikey Long was not to be out-done by this rare feat of Davis, so he indelibly carved his name in the Centenary Hall of Fame, and gave her base- ball fans a real treat when he held the hard-hitting St. Edwards nine, not only scoreless and hitless, but did not allow a man to reach first base until the ninth, when Capt. W eaver one was given a free pass. It was a beautiful contest in which Long had the best of Porter and Centenary won 1-0. Thanks to Pap Hilden ' s timely hit and clever base running. ' ■ i i iHU ' i mi 1 m % mn iliHMMinnimiiiiiiiiinii|iiimnnm Pruet — C Second Base This is Jim ' s third year on the varsity in which time he has proven himself quite an asset, a reliable fielder and an exceptional base runner. His hitting has been timely and very effective. Weaver — C Catcher, Captain This is Weave ' s second year on the varsity. He is a good steady player and will admit his ability without the third degree. Nuff said. Tooke — C Shortstop His second year on the team and has at all times proved himself a classy little fielder. Although diminutive in size he has an arm of iron and with two more years to play he should make a class A shortstop. Long — C Third Base Ikey made his letter last year when he lead the team in hitting. He is a good fielder with a wonderful arm. He has pitched several games and has many wins to his credit. Bush— C Out Field This is Bush ' s second year on the team, plays in-field when Long pitches and has at all times proven himself a real ball player. He may be little but he ' s loud. £S iiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiniiiiiinmiiir lllUllliiiumiHuiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllliii XX Boydston — C Out Field Made his letter last year as an out fielder and to date is showing great ability this year. He is an all round ball player and good in a pinch. Hilden — C First Base Pap is a last year ' s Varsity man, says he ' s a pitcher, but looks good enough to us where he is; handles all kinds of chances and makes them look easy. Beam Out Field Although this is Abe ' s ' first year, he is fielding like a veteran and hitting well, has a good eye for the ball and makes a pitcher work. A long list of stolen bases speaks for his ability as a base runner. Crawford Outfield They can ' t hit ' em where Glenn can ' t get ' em and he is looking better each day. Has all the form in the world and a good arm. GlUCE FlTCHER Pat ' s a blonde headed pitcher with more stuff than a Jew peddler. Works with ap- parently no exertion, but slips them by with the dark side up. He is an exception to the rule that pitchers can ' t hit. innnK 1 Baseball Schedule March 21 Shreveport, at Gasser Park March 28 Shreveport at Gasser Park March 31 Louisiana College at Shreveport April 1 Louisiana College at Shreveport April 21 Louisiana Normal at Natchitoches April 22 Louisiana Normal at Natchitoches April 23 Louisiana College at Pineville April 24 Louisiana College at Pineville April 28 St. Edwards College at Shreveport April 29 St. Edwards College at Shreveport May 1 Louisiana Normal at Shreveport May 2 Louisiana Normal at Shreveport May 5 Loyola University at Shreveport May 6 Loyola University at Shreveport May 16 Loyola University at New Orleans May 17 Loyola University at New New Orleans May 18 and 19 Dates pending fcss I W L l i nm l ll l i HUI I lim i Hf 1 1 1 1 t t I ) M 1 1 Mil t U ll F ■ '  nt i m n 1 1 n 1 1 n ' i t ' n i ' ■  n 1 1 n 1 1 n i n n i f ixLLLLJJJLLIJLI S T ' ' ' ' ■ ' ■ ' t ' l ' 1 ' IIHIIH flM Ws to ■ jjfP 1 iiimni iiuiin | nmiiniMirii | |lHiiiiiuiinr in T Athletics for Women msmrfZhx? The College aims to give both boys and girls the benefit of physical training, and to that end the services of Miss Hazel Cline, a graduate of Northwestern Uni- versity, of Chicago, were secured. Miss Cline having taken special work in physical training was especially adapted to the task of giving this work to the girls of the college. Another factor in making this department a necessity was the fact that just in the last few years has Centenary been open to women, and as this fact has become more widely known, girls from all over the state, as well as the girls of Shreveport, have taken advantage of the opportunity to attend Centenary. At the present time approximately one hundred girls attend the college and hence it was deemed wise to give them the advantage of systematic physical training under a capable and efficient director. The girls have organized tennis, indoor baseball, and volley ball clubs. The many tennis courts on the campus give ample room for the playing of tennis and they are doing well in this line. It is expected that a tournament will be arranged about the last of the school year and much interest is being manifested over this coming event. The college gvmnasium affords the space and convenience for the playing of indoor baseball, as well as volley ball. In addition to these sports which promote interest in the work of the girls, they have the regular exercises which are conducted every day and lend greatly to the building up of strong womanhood. This department fills a long felt need at Centenary; giving the girls the same opportunity as the boys in making the body active, alert, and healthy, and clearing up the mind as only good wholesome exercise can do. As an added feature to this work and something new in the college, the girls of this class will put on the May Festival this year. Much interest is being shown in this coming event by the girls especially, and by the college in general. The young lady who is to be Queen of May will be elected by popular vote and her name an- nounced the dav of the festival. It is planned to make this department of our work at Centenary much more intensive next year. Too much cannot be said for the progress made this year, but as with everything at Centenary, we will not be satisfied unless each year every department excells much more than it did the year previous. Progress is the watch- word of the Campus and with the girls, great things are expected from them next year as they launch out at the very start of the year and make their part in athletics and physical training better than they had dared to expect. IHIUUimiuiiiiiiimHlllllHUiimmioHimimiimiinmiitiiigiiH ft nHllllil liimilllHIUTTTT I The Academy At the conclusion of the school year, 1924, the Academy will cease to exist as Centenary College Academy, but will become Centenary Academy, under the direc- tion of a new Board of Directors and under separate management from Centenary College. It will be quartered in new buildings, on grounds contiguous to Centenary College and will be closely affiliated with the College. The Academy will not only maintain the standards it has established in the past years, but in most respects will raise its standards. The personnel of its faculty will be composed entirely of teachers who are college graduates and experienced and successful in the particular lines of work they do. It will maintain all its qualifications necessary to insure its continued membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Accerdited High Schools and will strive to render a service superior in most respects. It is proposed to make the school entirely selective in the matter of its students, and next year all 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 student, 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 studv and analysis of the mental ability and trend of each student to the end that it may help him to discover him- self 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 him- self; 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 Christian to the end that his life may become saturated with a Christian spirit.

It has been the aim and desire of the Staff in the preparation of this volume to represent in a manner as true to life as possible the pecularities, and characteristics, of happenings and peo- ple which have made this year the greatest in the history of Centenarv, and contributed to making Centenary during the year. To this end we have labored long and late, with the hope ever present that we might accomplish our purpose without offending the sensitive, nor flatter- ing the conceited, nor embarrassing the modest. If you, gentle reader, have been mentioned by name or otherwise in what has gone before, and especially if you are mentioned in what is to follow, bear in mind that it was because we thought such mention would serve at some future time to bring back to you memories of those days when jokes and the like of a personal nature, often neither clever nor appropriate, but always given and taken in fun, served to bind us together in a never to be forgotten fellowship. — The Staff. EVOLUTION y THE R 53. The Kiss He: What would you do if I were to kiss you? She: Shut your mouth! The kiss to the voung girl is Faith; to the married woman, Hope; and to the Old Maid — Charity. It has caused wars; it has been the muse of poets; it has been the down fall and the uplifting of many men; It has spread disease; in fact it has been a decisive fac- tor in social history. As the poet sees it: Or leave a kiss within the cup, and III not ask for wine. As 1924 Jellybean sees it: Hey, kid, open your mouth an ' gimme a kiss ' They are thrown, smacked, or smeared. 1 XX Ode to a Jellvbean Dweller of yon corner park Conceit of all creation, mark Who in latest style appears Laden not with sense nor years. Standing with an empty purse On his lips a deadly curse. View the handsome Jelly ' s face Cornered beauty of the race. Note that eye with mirth o ' er flows Setting off that upturned nose See those hands that never save Hands that took, but never gave His place is on his mother ' s breast An animal pitied and unblest. Heart breaker of flappers lift your eyes Away with your torturing sighs Change my lad, forsake your mate Lest you too will be doomed to share his fate. — Louise Lide IIIIIIIIIHII I HlUIillllMlLLU tmnci fcs ™ mmn $ la. Ks LEAP YEAR, 1924 Loved One: With the clear blue eyes. Dear one, I must tell you how I love you. I can hardly sleep for thinking of you. I am sure you will be a successful man, for you are so very ambitious. I waited long for a proposal from you dear, but as you were so very timid I WILL FORGIVE YOU. Did you ever hear this little verse from Locksley Hall? Love is love for evermore. I loved you at first sight. You are the only man I love, or ever will. Let us build a sweet little nest out in the west and let the rest of the world go by. Doesn ' t this appeal to you? Love, I have kept every one of your sweet faded love letters. And I shall never forget that perfect kiss, underneath the mellow moon, on a mid-summer ' s night. Good night, but not good bye. I shall ALWAYS LOVE YOU although you evoluted from a MONKEY. Just, ME. Editor ' s note: The above is reported to have been writ- ten by one of our fair co-eds to one of our younger professors. Their names are withheld by mutual consent. There have been some changes in the map lately. Donald Lavine said that Italy and Egypt, were on the continent of Greece. Charlene Palmer, said Asia and Asia Minor were no the same continent. It won ' t be long before we find them slipping off of Greece, onto some other continent. Bill Phelps: I heard Mr. Palmer say ain ' t today. But, I suppose it ' s just his environment. Pat Brown: Yes, I guess so, Bill. Bill: Listen to that. You don ' t even know what environment is. Pat: Certainly I do; Mr. Palmer ' s en- vironment is aint , mine is that there. Mr. Hardin was telling the class about germs one afternoon, and he said, Why, there are thousands of germs in ice cream. Oh! said, Cross, I thought they were straw- berry seeds? Mr. Morehead once got on the train, and when the conductor asked for his ticket, he said, Why, my face is my ticket. The conductor punched it! Wasn ' t King John, a wicked man, he used to run over people with motor cars, said Jonny to his mother one day. Surely Mr. Cline didn ' t tell you that, said Johny ' s mother. Oh, yes he did, said Johny. He told us, King John ground down the people with his taxes. Harry E. : I tried to serenade Francis, with a mandolin, but she wouldn ' t come out. Chris B. Well, what did you do? Harry: I brought her out with an auto horn. HANG ON When days are long, when plans go wrong. When worried this or that, Don ' t let things slip, but take a grip on anything you ' re at. If tempted then, like many men, to let the blamed thing go, Remember what a bull dog ' s got that makes us love him so. It ' s not that phsiog of his that always makes a hit — We like that bull because he ' s full of good, old-fashioned grit. That dog wins out, without a doubt, how- ever things have gone, Because that pup will not give up, but just hangs on — and on. — Selected. iii iii ii i iiii ii iiu ii liiii||liiiinr ii i iiiii i iiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiMHii)iiiMiii i iiiin i i i i i i i i iii ii iii i ii )i ii iiiii i iiii i j K , IR I XX H iim i ii ii i i iuii i H || i TmmTTm7 niiMniuiiiiiiHiinuiiiiM ' iiiiiiiii 7A RING MOUNTINGS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION WHITE GOLD, GREEN GOLD, YELLOW GOLD BULOVA WATCHES As Beautiful as They Are Serviceable A.

Thinking that hoboing to Monroe would be Duck Soup, being in a happy frame of mind not paying any special atten- tion as to the direction I was taking, I caught the first thing smoking and straight away hid my tiny form so that no prying brakeman would spoil my trip. Gee, but I was having a wonderful time congratulating myself on my A No. 1 tac- tics, when after about thirty minutes ride I g ' anced out to view the surroundings and to find that I hadn ' t moved an inch. Fact of the matter was I had caught a steam shovel by mistake. Straight away I thought of many smart men. I thought of that memorable trip to Washington, as the bunch of fellows started out to visit Arlington Cemetery, to pay homage to the Unknown Soldier buried there. How Swede Anderson had persuaded me to look up the relatives of the same and speak a cheerful word or so, and straight away I knew I was not to be listed with the smart men like Edison, Ford, FRESHMAN CROSS or Doc Green. The day being young. I thought I would walk a bit and see if I could lessen the distance to Monroe in a more legitimate way. On my hike another ' bo fell in line with me, he told me confidentially that the places he had failed to visit were not worthy of mention and from his general appearance he must have passed through torment. We walked until I started catching soul kisses each time I put my doggies down, straight away I knew that this would never do. I kidded my companion into catching a blind. He catches a blind like I field a ground ball, not so good. I thought to see Monroe then would be duck soup, gee but I was beginning to yearn for my groceries. Had I made my trip without all this I would not have kicked, but no such luck — this dusky lad from the jungles of Africa, who was playing the role of brakeman, tipped off the porter, who in turn told the flagman, who put the thought into the baggage master ' s head to tell the engineer who whispered to the fireman, who went to the conductor with the news that there were two men on the blinds in which he made short work of the two of us. Put us off 18 miles from a water tank and straight away I felt very much alone. This hobo turned to and built a fire, saying that on the morrow we would carry on. Knowing how bad Centenary would need me in Monroe, I couldn ' t sleep and it is a known fact- — you can ' t eat when there is nothing to eat, but cross ties, spikes, iron rails and frog tonic (same being muddy water) in sight. I tried in vain to make my comrade realize the situation we were in was tragic, and he kept heaping on more wood and inviting Morpheus to have a wedding. Glancing back toward the magic city, I saw a wee light which straight away reminded me of an ancient story and as the light grew larger and larger, I almost caved in with excitement. As Kipling, Poe, Billy Sunday, FRESHMAN CROSS and others not quite so famous have often said, Every dog must have his day, believe your sweet xantippe, I was fixing to have mine. She was a thru freight, travleing with a lengthy stride. I gathered up the speed that Bo searched for all the fall, gathered in tow an armful of box cars, turned them every way but loose, whispered to my campaign pardner, I ' ll be seeing you straight away. Then I leaned on the breeze for Monroe, arriving one day ahead of schedule, a worn out knight of the cinder path.

Dr. Morehead ' s class in Sociology has been working for several weeks on this problem and the results of their research give us the following more or less interest- ing facts: Freshman q from Georgia had five good reasons for with drawing from our midst.: Math, Latin, English, History I and Spanish. A pathetic case was that of Bro. Corry, at dinner with the Dean, when asked if he would have some corn, absently-mindedly passed his glass. Then there is Mex, whose father is a cattleman out in N. M. wearing boots, etc., returned home wearing his street-sweeping trousers, an ingrowing brimmed hat, and a cigarette holder. Our popular friend is now chamber-maid to a flock of bovines. Loot Grounds, a man of many func- tions, and Roost hound, while going to church with his parents for the first time in many months, thru force of habit ap- plauded when the minister gave the bene- diction. THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE A hat for the brow of a hill. A belt for the waste of time. A pair of suspenders for the breeches of trust. A pair of gloves for the hand of Fate. A sleeve for the arm of the law. A ring for the finger of conscience. A pair of shoes for the foot of a moun- tain. A cap for the head of navigation. Voice of Mother: Emily, it is very cold down there. Have you something around you? Emily: Yes, mother; Stewart ' s here. I only kissed her on the cheek; It seemed a simple frolic, But I was sick in bed a week — - They called it painter ' s colic. | | nii i mimmiiumi i i 211 tl ' ll lll l llllllll ll JIIIII lltlllMI111 IIIIIMI ■■■ iitriTrTTTTTTn j riM inm i n nn n n nmn n L-. y eYONCOPIN ff White Way Shoe Hospital Quick service while you wait Give Our Place the Once-Over Frank Peritore, Owner 424 Milam Street Old Phone 4227 Read-to-Wear and Millinery That is Always in the Height of Style.

Cotton: Those that have been kissed and those that are just about to be. Under the swinging street car strap A homely old maid stands, And stands, and stands, And stands, and stands, And stands, and stands, and stands. Though they affirm A deadly germ Lurks in the sweetest kiss; Let ' s hope the day Is far away Of antiseptic bliss. So, pray, let me philosophize; To sterilize a lady ' s sighs Would simply be outrageous; I ' d much prefer To humor her And let her be contagious.

FALSE IMPRESSIONS An old main likes a parrot because that is the closest thing she can get to a stork. To wear rubbers is to admit you are a potential invalid. Most poets can write better verse when they are drunk. The first way to become a genius is to go into debt. A rolling stone gathers no moss; but a tramp always has a two day ' s growth. There is no such thing as superstition, but it is pure foolishness to walk under a ladder. Every person who sits in the third gal- lery at the opera house and smells of onions is a musician. All widows are very susceptible to col- lege boys. The quickest way to become a clever fellow is to say something disagreeable concerning an established fact.

A peach came walking down the street; She was more than passing fair; A smile, a nod, a half-closed eye. And the peach became a pear. A young man with a pretty, but flirta- tious fiance, wrote to a rival: I h ear that you have been kissing my girl. Come to my office at eleven on Saturday; I want to have this out.

No. 1 CENTENARY COLLEGE, SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA Price, Free Mammoth Gusher Comes in on Campus Students Share Equally on Net Proceeds frain from sharing in the proceeds of this flow of dollars. However, it is contended by still other sages and species of genius mingled in the student body, that the sin- cere devotion each and every member of the faculty has for his particular depart- ment would allow for no consideration of the filthy lucre. This latter attitude seems to be preferred among the students and a meeting of the student council on admin- istrative activities has been called for the purpose of drawing up resolutions re- questing the reinstatement of the faculty and the resignation of the president, it being deemed the o pinion of this council that any man who would accept a fortune is not a fit man to teach in an institution where true learning is the sole objective. Although the president has labored for many years sacrificing his personal inter- ests and permanently injuring his health in order that the college might live through the various periods of depression when it seemed that the college would go under. It is deemed advisable by such rare stu- dents as Eatman and Cross that the action of the council requesting his resignation be ratified, because it is certainly not to the best interests of the students to have as their executive, a man who showed in- clination to accept some reward for his years of unselfish service. It is expected that the well will be under control 4n a few days and the students of the college will be able to devote the re- mainder of their lives to study and re- search, each having an independent fortune at the disposal of the faculty. It having been decided that the faculty shall hence- forth and forever direct the affairs of the students. Wizenheimer Oil Company with head- quarters in Yaldosta. Georgia, which has been drilling on the campus for the past forty vears brought in a gusher the other dav. Although the students are stockholders in this concern it was next to impossible to drag them away from their classes to view the huge gusher which spouted the greasy fluid thousands of feet in the air. The students would never have known that the marvelous enterprise which they fostered had reaped such immense returns in so short a time had not it been for the fact that after a few hours the campus was covered with a film of oil. The skies were darkened and the sun shone not upon our fair and beautiful campus. Trees withered and died before some of the most august members of the student body ven- tured from their realms of study to find that they had come into their own. The president of the college fired all members of the facultv for insubordina- tion when they, to a man, refused abso- lutely and point blank to share with the students in the receipts. The students were very indignant that the president should have shown such a dogmatic spirit in canning the facultv without consulting the students. It is a known fact that the benevolent students would have done and sacrificed anything to have kept such a disaster from disturbing the tranquil fel- icity of the college community, because the students would not only rather die than live without their beloved faculty, and it is thought by several of the sages that the power of persuasion might possibly have been used long enough to cause the fac- ulty to rescind their first decision to re- . iiiiiiiimiiininiiiiniiiiiiiii 13 55 iiiHuiiiiiiiimiimiiniimii KCOPIMTsfc The First National Bank And Its Affiliate THE CITY SAVINGS BANK TRUST CO.
