UNION - ' - -,% ' - EDITOR MARY JACK WINTLE ASSOCIATE EDITOR JUDY CONRAD if 114 Thriving under many flags. Louisiana has the distinction of being the only state in the union whose constitution is based on the Napoleanic code. Frenchmen and Spaniards. Creoles and carpetbaggers all have had a hand in guiding her policies. First governed by Bienville. Louisiana ' s is the fabulous story of fantastic administrators. One of the unique features of Louisiana government is the administrative unit, the parish, elsewhere known as a county. Louisiana ' s State Capitol, rising thirty-four stories above its landscaped grounds, is the tallest building in the South, and a particular point of interest since it deviates from the usual Greek-style architecture. From the rich alleuvial Delta land to the red clay hills in the north, Louisiana is a pan- orama of growth fields freshly tilled, tender shoots peeping out of the earth, young plants valiantly asserting their place, and mature ones rising solid and stable, while Brahman, grazing contentedly in vast pastures, propagate in an endless cycle. Though King Gotten reigns supreme, Louisiana leads the nation in the production of sugar cane and sweet potatoes, better known as Louisiana Yams, boasts the world ' s strawberry capitol, and is the world ' s only producer of perique tobacco. A virtual rice bowl, Louisiana supplies the nation with its second source of this widely cultivated staple. Everywhere diversity is the agricultural keynote. V ' i Ifttei From the vast earth ' s treasure store man extracts and utilizes the wealth he finds. From the depths he gathers minerals, takes power from air and water currents, and builds with materials from the surface. The earth yields up her riches, and man creates from them the necessities and the luxuries of life. Such abundance of natural resources exists in Louisiana, a state generously endowed by Mother Nature. One of the most important resources is water, used for transportation and raw material. A reservoir of one-fifth the nation ' s oil resources is located in Northwest Louisiana, and there are further potentialities in the widely disputed tidelands area. In spite of this record, forest industries rank first in payrolls and profits in the state. Louisiana can supply the nation ' s salt needs almost indefinitely, and has the largest single sulphur deposit located in a quarter of a century. Strangely enough, Louisiana leads the nation in fur production, and is one of the more important suppliers of seafood. r Smoke billows from chimneys where once only cotton fields stood; the whir of machines is heard where once only the buzzing of bees and crickets disturbed the calm; and free men ride to work where once slaves sweated under the broiling sun. This is the New South young and eager in its bid for industrial competition with its sister regions. And Louisiana is keeping pace. The Esso Standard Oil Refinery in Louisiana is one of the largest and most complete in the world, while Kaiser ' s plant is the largest primary aluminum plant in the United States. Louisiana is the second ranking producer of carbon black in the nation, and leads in the production of paperboard and containerboard. Along with numerous other industries, Louisiana is making its greatest gains in this field. JJMr Tantalizingly intangible, beautv wafts along on the scented breeze as a galaxy of flowers parade through the year in a never-ending procession. Quiet streams flowing under moss- laden trees, or gently rolling hills studded with tall majestic pines: these, along with memory-laden ante-bellum plantation homes, lend Louisiana its delightful charm. The state is dotted with parks renown for their natural beauty, one of the most interesting of which is the Longfellow-E angeline Park in the heart of the cajun country. North Louisiana is famed for its springtime Dogwood Trail, while graceful iron grillwork adorns the buildings of the French Quarter, a famed attraction in New Orleans. The haunting fragrance of the creamy white magnolia blossom, the state flower, symbolizes the exotic beauty that is Louisiana. This fun-loving sister of the land of stars and stripes is renown for her love of gay and carefree frolic. Jazz notes blow forth down on Basin Street, as the chanting of a Voodoo ritual still pervades the atmosphere. Pirogue races are held on Bayou Barataria, once the stamping ground of Jean Lafitte, the notorious pirate, and the ring of swords seem to echo still from under the Dueling Oaks. Mardi Gras, the culmination of the New Orleans carnival season, is the most famous of Louisiana pageantry. The State Fair is held at Shreveport, and there are innumerable harvest festivals throughout the state. The Sugar Bowl classic at New Orleans attracts visitors from all over the nation, while the blessing of the shrimp fleet is another event of annual interest. A highlight of the past year ' s festivities was the Acadian Bicentennial Celebration. With a history as colorful as her soil is rich. Louisiana, the nation ' s coquette, fascinates all imaginative minds. Sultry quadroons, aristocratic Creoles. impland Cajuns. clay-hill country red-necks they play a major role in the state ' s development as a veritable melting pot. not only of races but of temperaments. :ous tribes of Indians were the first inhabitants. History records DeSoto as the first white man to set foot on Louisiana soil, though it was left to the French to explore and colonize the territory. Buffeted about through political treaties. Louisiana was next under Spanish domination, and then back under French. They soon turned the restless lady over to the United States, and the Territory of Orleans became a state on April 30. 1 8 1 2. From an unbroken wilderness, through a great many growing pains, Louisiana has emerged as a modern and efficient organization, capable of meeting the ever-increasing demands of today ' s thriving world. Progressive leaders have inaugurated many programs for improvements and developments. One of the major phases of expansion has been in extensive highway construction. Numerous hospitals with the most modern facilities have been and are being built while efficient brick and steel buildings are springing up everywhere to replace and augment the little red school houses. As industries move in at a rapid rate, new factories and commercial buildings appear on continually changing skylines. Motivated by a driving spirit. Louisiana is expanding to meet the needs of her citizens. I Louisiana State University as a state supported institution is closely aligned with Louisiana government. The major economic factor of the state, agriculture, is emphasized, though students are prepared for positions in industry through courses of intensive study in allied fields. Considered one of the most beautifully landscaped campuses in the nation, the university also reflects the carefree spirit of the festival- loving revelers. Its history is colorful, having been founded in 1860 under William Tecumseh Sherman; this year marked the fiftieth anniversary of co-eds on campus. Under appropriations of the Legislature, various construction projects are being carried out. This is our alma mater L.S.U., product of Louisiana.

AS ONE OF THE FOREMOST UNIVERSITIES IN THE COUNTRY. GOVERNOR ROBERT F. KENNON Governor Robert F. Kennon began his ascent to the governor ' s mansion while a student at L.S.U. As a fresh- man, he had the highest scholastic record in his class and received an award for the best average in the university. He was a captain in the R.O.T.C., and he received a l etter in both football and tennis. Mr. Kennon was presi- dent of the Y.M.C.A., a member of the Honor Council, vice-president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, a member of the University debate team and of the Scabbard and Blade Society. After receiving his LL.B. degree from L.S.U. in 1925, Governor Kennon began his law practice in Minden. At the age of twenty-three he was elected mayor, the young- est in the nation at that time. Mr. Kennon served with distinction with the Ninth Army in Europe, where he was decorated by King Paul of Greece. Since his election in 1952, Governor and Mrs. Kennon have been residing in Baton Rouge with their three sons, Kenwood, Charles, and Robert Floyd, Jr., who is attending L.S.U. 26 GOVERNOR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS The Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors is composed of sixteen members who are appointed by the governor for a term of fourteen years. The governor is an ex-officio member of the Board. These citizens from all parts of the state function as a spokesman for the uni- versity in the state legislature from which operational funds are obtained. The Board of Supervisors has been urging the legis- lature for additional funds for building purposes. The Board has also encouraged a raise in university teachers ' salaries. Approval of appointments, resignations, and leaves-of-absence is another duty of the Board. FIRST Row: Theo F. Cangelosi, Oliver P. Carriere, Margaret Dixon, John J. Doles, C. J. Dugas, Tom W.

Middleton has been a member of the Louisiana State University Administrative family for more than twenty-five years. He began his dis- tinguished record of service to the University in 1930 when he was appointed Commandant of Cadets a posi- tion which he held for six years. During the last two years of his term as Commandant, General Middleton also held the position of Dean of Men. Since that time he has been Dean of Administration, Acting Vice- President. Comptroller, and in February, 1951, he became Louisiana State University ' s thirteenth President. In June, 1955, General Middleton was awarded an honorary Doc- tor of Civil Law degree from the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee. Born in Georgetown, Mississippi, on October 12, 1889, General Middleton attended Mississippi State Col- lege. Upon being graduated in 1909. he entered military service as a private. As Second Lieutenant, he was a member of the U.S. force which was sent to quell the border raids of the Mexican bandit Pancho Villa. In World War I, General Middleton became the Army ' s youngest full colonel, a rank he retained permanently when he retired from the Army in 1936. He was called out of military retirement in 1942 to serve as commander of the 45th Division. Additional laurels were bestowed on General Middleton ' s distinguished military career when, as commander of the Eighth Army Corps, he was praised by the late General George Patton for the decision to hold Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. His services as an educator and an administrator are evidenced by the positions he has held here at Louisi- ana State University and in several military institutions. General Middleton has had the distinction of instructing the President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, at the Command and General Staff School, Fort Leaven- worth, Kansas. Louisiana State University is proud to have as its President one who has distinguished himself in so many fields Lieutenant General Trov H. Middleton. 1 THE ADMIN CHARLES E. SMITH Dean of the University In any university as large as L.S.U., the burden of supervising the education of the students enrolled in that university is a tremendous responsibility. The many problems which confront the operation of Louisiana State University are dealt with and solved by an able group of administrators. The administration of the budget and the supervision of all financial affairs is the job which the university comptroller fulfills. Each year thousands of students must be enrolled in the university a task which is performed by the university registrar. Some of these students desire scholarships or part-time jobs and must, therefore, deal with the director of student employment and scholar- ships. The social and spiritual welfare of these students is the responsibility of the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women who act as general counselors to the men and women students. Co-ordinating the academic programs of the colleges and schools with general university policies and the ap- pointment and promotion of academic personnel is the DANIEL BORTH Comptroller JOHN HUNTER Registrar MILTON HARRISON Assistant to the President T. K. MCKNIGHT Director of Student Schoarships and Employment 30 ISTRATORS responsibility of the Dean of the University. The Assist- ant to the President works very closely with the Presi- dent of the university in order to relieve him of many administrative details. At Louisiana State University students are fortunate in having a well-rounded program of social activities. The Field House and the Gym-Armory provide many recreational opportunities not available at universities of comparable size. Supervision of the social program rests in the capable hands of L.S.U. ' s two directors of social recreation. ARDEX O. FRENCH Dean of Men HELEN B.

FRVE New Orleans, long noted as America ' s Most Interesting City, is experiencing a growth never before equaled in its long and romantic history. Keeping in step with New Orleans ' rapid expansion, the newly enlarged Louisiana State University Med- ical School has helped to make New Orleans the most important medical center in die Soudi. The LSU Medical School has recently constructed a diree and one-half million dollar addi- tion to die original school plant. A new auditorium seating six hundred and fifty, a new cafeteria, and an enlarged medical library are outstanding features of the new facilities. With the addition of these buildings, the Medical School can better fulfill its vital function of graduating more and better physicians each year. THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE YiNCEXT TfMMINELLO President A i 33 DEAN PAUL M. HEBERT The Louisiana State University Law School was estab- lished in 1 906 to carry out the general provisions of the Uni- versity charter authorizing the establishment of a school of law. In 1924 the LSU Law School was recognized as one of the lead- ing law schools in the United States and was elected to member- ship in the Association of American Law Schools. Individual law students are encouraged to participate in Law Review and Moot Court Activities. The Student Bar Association affords an opportunity for aspiring lawyers to meet outstanding mem- bers of the Louisiana Bar. SCHOOL OF LAW BILLY HINES, President; WILLIAM P.

SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WELFARE DR. EARL L. KLEIN Director The School of Social Welfare is a professional school of social work on the graduate level. It provides two years of professional education, encompassing generalized and special- ized preparation, leading to the conferral of the degree of Master of Social Work. The aim of the School of Social Wel- fare is to provide a complete, integrated, and dynamic program of social work education. The School is a charter member of die Council on Social Work Education . As a center of higher learning, the Graduate School pro- vides an environment in which research and free inquiry thrive and makes available to society the results of such activities. The Graduate student must assume an orientation toward scholarship which differs materially from that of most under- graduates; he is expected to gain from association with scholars and research workers many new concepts and a stimulation in ability to think clearly and independently and to develop zeal for adding to the sum of human knowledge.

The experiment station division was estab- lished in 1887 and the home economics extension division was established in 1914. The general aims of the college are to train agricultural and home economics leaders in all phases of agri- culture, to conduct a program of scientific agricultural research, and to take this information to the farms and homes throughout the state of Louisiana. Farm and Home Week, the 4-H Club. FFA district and state livestock shows, and the Spring and Fall convocations are annual events of the college. DEAN CECIL G. TAYLOR The College of Arts and Sciences is the division of the University which is designed to afford the student a liberal education emphasizing intellectual development and discipline rather than the acquisition of technical skills. Special attention is given to the achievements of the human mind, with stress placed on the development of Western Civilization. Students are instructed in national and historical cultural backgrounds the knowledge of which is essential to a true understanding of our world.

COLLEGE OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS DEAN ARTHUR R. CHOPPIN The College of Chemistry and Physics is composed of the Audubon Sugar School and the departments of Chemistry. Agricultural Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Physics and Astronomy. The curricula of the college are designed to give the students a broad general education and at the same time to train them in the fundamentals of science. The work in the classrooms and laboratories is supplemented by field work and intimate contact with a number of active research programs sponsored by agricultural, industrial, and government agencies. DEAN J. B. TRANT The College of Commerce is designed to offer students concentrated studies in business. Organized in 1928, the College is an outgrowth of the Economics and Commerce departments. In its first year it had only six faculty members and one hundred sixty-four students. Today the College has greatly expanded its faculty and facilities due to the tremendous increase in its enrollment.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION The College of Education has as its primary purpose the preparation of students for teaching positions. With the de- mand for teachers increasing each year, the College of Educa- tion performs a very vital function for the welfare of America. LSL education graduates are teaching in almost every state in the United States and in several foreign countries. Education majors are given very thorough training in preparatory courses. After classroom techniques are demonstrated at the University- Laboratory School, students assume teaching positions and re- ceive practical experience in being a teacher. DEAN E. B. ROBERT DEAN LEO J. LASSALLE The Louisiana State University College of Engineering, established at the same time as the university, is one of the older colleges on the campus. Its objective is the training of young men and women for positions of trust and responsibility in the engineering profession. This objective has been well ac- complished, for LSU graduates in engineering can be found in all parts of the world holding responsible and difficult engi- neering positions. Many of the college ' s graduates are working successfully in fields closely related to engineering which require the services of people trained to think and willing to work.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC The educational purpose of the Louisiana State University School of Music is directed toward assisting the individual student to the fullest possible development of his musical abili- ties and helping him to make the musical arts a constructive cultural asset in his own life. The school furthermore aims to provide opportunities to die greatest possible number of stu- dents, to share in the heritage of the musical culture of die human race and in turn to contribute to this culture. DEAN EVERETT TIMM DEAN S. A. CALDWELL The Junior Division of Louisiana State University pro- vides for the special needs of entering students and administers their work during the first year. High school graduates entering the University, transfer students who have not yet been admitted to one of the senior colleges, and second-year students who have insufficient hours or quality points to meet the require- ments of the senior college of their choice must register in Junior Division. Freshman Week has been set up to enable freshmen to become promptly and properly adjusted to their college life and to choose their course of study wisely. This orientation period is devoted to registration, conferences with advisors, physical examinations, special educational tests, assignment of classes, and discussion of subjects of importance to new students.

The main purposes of student government are to provide a means whereby students can gain ex- perience in self-government, to provide students the op- portunity to direct certain activities of their own, and to encourage the practice of responsible citizenship. The Student Body Constitution sets forth the responsibilities, authorities, and procedures of the various aspects of student government.

The Student Council makes recommendations to the University administra- tion and attempts through its program to contribute to the progress of the University. It also has representation on several faculty council committees. The Student Council sponsors many activities of general interest to the student body. This year the coun- cil inaugurated a student group insurance plan whereby students could obtain health and accident insurance at a very low premium. One of the most controversial pro- jects which the council promoted was the Student Union. After much discussion, the adoption of the Union was placed before the students for approval or rejection. Al- though a very small percentage of the student body voted in the election, the Student Union was approved. In addition to the insurance plan and the Student Union, the Student Council took an active part in freshman orientation, homecoming, and investigating the parking problem on the campus.

The Senate appoints many committees to investigate problems on the campus. The Campus parking problem, adequate lighting in the library, the United Givers Fund, and the Four Freshmen concert were problems and ac- tivities in which the Senate took an interest.

THE HONOR BOARD A significant phase of the student government is its Honor Council activities. The members of the Honor Council represent each college and are appointed by the President of the Student Body. The Council works with the honor councils of each college to help maintain a high standard of honor and community conduct among L.S.U. students. The principal duty of the Honor Council is to determine the guilt or innocence of any student charged with conduct which would bring discredit upon him or the Student Body and to impose a suitable punish- ment for such violation. HUNTINGTON ODOM Moderator MH? s The Associated Women Students, composed of all undergraduate co-eds in the University, promotes student participation in the government of women ' s residence halls, assists in freshman orientation, and co-ordinates the work of women ' s organizations on the campus. A.W.S. sponsors annually a leadership conference for women students and administers a point system which governs the number of major offices a woman student may hold in campus organi- zations. The work of the A.W.S. is carried out by its elected officers, the Advisory Board, the Govern- ing Council, and the Judicial Board. SEATED: Helen Saint, Oleta Collins, Carolyn Allgood, Linda Renfroe.

Founded as an outgrowth of the Pan American House in 1942, the Latin American Council is an organization whose purpose is to foster better rela- tions among American and Latin American students on the campus. The Council is represented on the Student Council and is an active participant in every phase of campus activities. Each year the council sponsors a Latin American Fiesta which is a very popular social event attended by hundreds of LSU students. Every year the residents of each of the women ' s dormitories elect a president. These officers are responsible for many of the policies of student gov- ernment within each dorm. Each president presides at the meetings of the House Council which is the representative governing body of the dormitory. The president appoints committees and represents her dorm at university functions. The presidents to- gether comprise the Judicial Board which handles cases of serious infractions of the rules by women students.

DORMITORY PRESIDENTS PROCTORS Since World War II the men ' s dorms have been served by a very effective leadership organization the proctor system. Each floor of the dorms is super- vised by a junior or senior student who has been carefully selected on the basis of scholastic rating, character standing, and interest in the proctor pro- gram. Each proctor is responsible for the personal conduct in the dorms of the students on his floor. He assists in the general administration of the residence halls and co-operates in the promotion of worthwhile campus projects.

To be considered are the student ' s scholarship: participation and leadership in academic and extracurricular activities: citizenship and service: and promise of future usefulness. After nomination, the students must then be accepted by the organization. Who ' s Who In American Colleges and Universities, the official directory, was first published for the school year of 1934-35. and now includes juniors, seniors and graduate students from 650 institutions. A certificate of recognition is presented to the student before or upon graduation. In addition to this, the nationwide honor organization maintains a reference or placement service which is free of cost to the student. Louisiana State University was given a quota of thir- ty this year, which could be exceeded by two. Therefore, thirty-two outstanding students from the undergraduate colleges, the Law School, and the Medical School re- ceived this recognition of their service. 113 Newman Club President, Sam Bergeron Marie Campbell, President of the College of Education At; senior Tared Evans.

So imagine how they felt when they walked into the L Building to find the carpenters at work transforming the second floor into two well-finished., business-like rooms. It was won- derful, and after they left, the painters were supposed to appear. However, time went by and no painters, so Jackie swept up the sawdust and set about getting a staff together. In the midst of this job, the painters arrived and since painters are supposed to paint, they did. Out came the turpentine for another clean-up session, this time to remove light green paint. With Junior Editors selected by the Board of Publications from the applicants, and the members of the freshman staff appointed, we finally settled down to serious work. Then there was the Staff Party, which was a good excuse to get everyone over in the office to make some We make merry and magnolias! of the decorations for the GUMBO BALL. The building really buzzed that night, as we held cokes and cookies in one hand and twisted paper magnolias with the other. The preliminary judging for the contest kept us busy as we followed Billie Carroll ' s directions, giving out num- bers and later, sweeping up the grass that remained on the stage.

The big election, in which only University men could vote, was held December 8, but the identity of the new Darling of LSU was not revealed until the night of the GUMBO BALL. From a setting of Moonlight and Magnolias the co-ed stepped into the spotlight to receive the honor. By this time, there was a mad dash to finish copy, schedule pictures and to make deadlines since the printer offered a prize to any annual staff which had fifty pages of copy in before Christmas. Our new typewriters were put to good use during those last weeks, but the pace increased even more after we returned from the holidays. At last the final deadlines were made, and the only thing left to do was read proof as it came back to us. What a great day it was when we could say, The GUMBO ' S out! 120 Mike Schulz, the military editor, look- ing over the last of his section. STAFF MEMBERS The freshman members round out the editorial force of the G I ' M BO. To them goes the task of filing all the class, organization, sorority, and fraternity pictures so that each face in the annual will be identified with the correct name. Besides this, they assist the upper- classmen on the staff when they are needed, which is just about constantly. After a year of walking over to the L Building (yes, it ' s the one ' way back there) on their free afternoons, they are in condi- tion to be considered for the Junior Editor positions. Surrounded by pictures, Mary Jane McAllister and Jenola Googe begin the task of matching cards and photos. FIRST Row : Ann Byrnes, Carolyn Campbell, Ann Gueymard, Barbara Rasner.

Work on a new issue begins at the editorial office with Managing Editor Mary McAlpin typing story assign- ments and discussing them with reporters and photog- raphers. As the stories start filtering in, News Editors Terri Tidwell, Dave Gosselin and Darrell Eiland read them for copy errors and estimate their length. In the meantime. Editor Lynn Garrett is writing editorials and co-ordinating all phases of the paper, while Sports Editor Jack Worthy is writing the sports copy. After the news editors make-up the paper, the copy is sent to the composing room where it is set on linotype machines and Charlotte Doane and Pam Moore proof- read for typographical errors. After corrections are made, the type is placed in the forms and page proofs are pulled which the editors check. By the time the paper is ready to go to press, the whole cycle has begun again. 122 Jo RHODES Photographer DAVE GOSSELIN News Editor TERM TIDWELL News Editor DARRELL EILAND News Editor STONEWALL DALE and ANDREW ZOLLINGER Advertising Managers CAROLYN BOLTON, JOHN PHILLIPS and CHARLES LINDSAY Reporters 123 SEATED: Patrick T.

It is edited by a board of student editors, with faculty co-operation. The student editors are chosen from the men of highest standing in the second and third year classes. 124 DELTA Delta, the Louisiana State University literary publi- cation, has for its purpose the promotion on campus of creative endeavor in literature and art.

This is a week of greetings and addresses, parties, meeting peo- ple, physicals and registration. For the boys, it ' s a week of desperately trying to adapt to the military. For the girls, it ' s a week of desperately trying to distinguish who ' s who among the bald heads. The 1955 Freshman class was given ample opportunity to do these things. Boys and girls alike were whisked through several dances and get-acquainted parties, orientation programs, and a Pig- skin Preview. Registration was a new and baffling ex- perience. L Books were distributed and the endless rules and regulations had to be learned. When it seemed they couldn ' t cram another thing into their schedules, the week was suddenly over, and the Freshman became part of the L.S.U. student body. Dog Alexander tries for no Satur- day classes. Do I have to buy all these books? Two freshman dogs to each freshman girl what a ratio! Let ' s not forget the Military. Beginning on a small tract of land near Alexandria, the University was soon moved to Baton Rouge, later merging with the Agricultural and Mechanical College from New Orleans. Today, almost a century later, L.S.U. is a rapidly growing educational institution. The en- rollment, having quadrupled in the last twenty-five years, is now soaring to new heights. It is conservatively esti- mated that within ten years the number of students will have doubled. Presently, vast expansion programs are progressing in all sections of the campus to meet the demands of a growing student body. Even more mechan- ized equipment to facilitate the registration processes is being considered as a necessary item on a future budget. The girls of Alpha Omicron Pi look just as sweet as the sweets they ' re baking at their Pie Party . Members of Alpha Delta Pi are sitting pretty ' at their rush tea carrying out a Greek theme. SORORITY Rushees are invited by Tri Delta to come aboard their show boat. A comical theme to ease the strain of rush week pre- sented by Alpha Epsilon Phi. Going back into storv book lore the Kappa Delta ' s enter- tained with The Wizard of Oz . RUSHING To rushees and sorority girls alike it was a week of fun and fatigue, of consideration and decision. From the moment they registered on Saturday afternoon, the new girls were whirled through a series of coke parties, din- ner dates, and teas. Making a lovely picture in their new early fall clothes, they circulated between Panhellenic, the reception rooms, the French House, and the Pan American House. Weeks of preparation went into the making of these parties, most of which were presented with a theme costumes, refreshments, skits, and deco- rationsall for the pleasure of the rushees. The early morning anticipation of the girls as they received their invitations contrasted with the late hours of discussion and decision for the members. On that fateful Sun- day afternoon, girls from all over the campus congre- gated at the Panhellenic office. There was an inter- minable wait in line plenty long enough to hear the sorority songs drifting out of the rooms when the doors opened to receive their new members plenty long enough to think how that small white envelope bearing the Greek letters in the corner might change a whole college future. Then, with the envelopes in hand, the new members rushed to their sorority rooms to be re- ceived with open arms and screams of delight. Delta Zeta presented a skit in connection with their Laughing Place part). Pi Phi ' s emphasize the international aspect of their sorority at their Ocean to Ocean party. ' 49ers were welcomed at Phi Mu ' s Gold Rush Party . Kappa cooked up a cute skit at their Kandy Kitchen . SORORITY Chi Omega members represented different per- fumes at their sophisticated Perfume Tea. These members of Beta Sigma Omicron danced for the rushees. RUSHING Immediately upon arriving in the respective sorority rooms amid screams, hugs, and tears the prospective pledges realize that among the familiar faces are quite a few unfamiliar ones. So a seeming continuation of rush week occurs, and again there are more introduc- tions, more Pleased to meet you ' Y, and more smiles. As though rush parties weren ' t enough, the sorority holds another social function, hen party style, chiefly for the purpose of everyone getting to know everyone else. The new girls begin to feel a little less like rushes when they hear You had us worried , uttered by the members. Whereupon these pledges-to-be breathe a little sigh of relief that all of their worry was unneces- sary. Finally it happens; the giddiness of rush week ends as the solemn pledge ceremonies begin. At last the rushees are pledges. Rushees were invited to come on board at the Delta Gamma Anchors Away Party . Members of Alpha Xi Delta, dressed as little girls holding their dolls, entertain the rushees. Out of the merories of childhood step Alpha Chi Omegas at their Doll Parade Tea . FRATERNITY RUSH WEEK Is that a Kappa Sig member dancing with one of the rush girls? Some prefer to dance; others prefer refreshments. Trumpets blared and drums resounded as the sweat- ing musicians poured out the music. It carried on the air and mixed with the sounds of laughing, talk- ing, dancing the sounds of fraternity rush parties. The noise and light spilled out across the lawns of the frat houses indicating that a week of fun was under- way. The rushees were greeted by the members and introduced to the attractive rush girls who had been invited in order to help the new boys enjoy them- selves. But rush week consisted not only of night parties. Rush dates were made for the purpose of getting to know each other better. Interested alumni gave parties for the rushees and the members. It was at these that the fraternities put forth their ideals and standards. It was at these that the boys began to de- cide in which groups they belonged. When the prefer- ence cards were signed and the bids distributed, the fraternities did the most natural thing at a time of celebration. They gave another party. Skits similar to this one given by Alpha Tau Omega pro vide more intellectual (?) entertainment for the rushees. f l And then there were none. Anxious politicians surround the polls hoping to solicit votes. ELECTIONS The crisp October air seemed to crackle with the electricity of coming elections. Ambitious candidates and tireless backers spent their waking hours in pur- suit of victory. Bulletin boards across the campus were a rainbow of pastel handbills urging support, and fraternity and sorority meetings became an open house for aspiring officers. On election day the ten- sion reached its highest point. No one who went to the polls that day could forget the excitement and color, the campaign posters and banners splashed across the Field House, or the eager voices trying to suppress their nervousness. At last the balloting was finished. Weary politicians haunted the Student Council room to hear the results. When they were announced, the waiting was over. For some, there were celebrations, for others, perhaps disappointment. And the polls were closed again until the next election. The Field House becomes a giant bulletin board decorated profusely with political banners. Pretty politicians hope to gain votes for their candidate by carrying trays in the Hatcher Cafeteria. This line of freshman politicians in front of the polls is harder to penetrate than the Maginot line. All that remains unkno s-n are the results. FRESHMAN Marching in step, regimented lines of freshman girls and cadets filled the Parade Grounds. They gathered there to watch the coronation of the king and queen of Freshman Day, 1955. As the royal couple, Aubrey McCleary and Marilyn Allard, knelt to be crowned, their court and subjects stood at attention. Following this ceremony, the Freshmen filed through the Campanile and to the Gym Armory where the annual Talent Show was presented. A dazzling array of acts, ranging from songsters to puppets to baton twirling, crossed the stage. Most Talented Freshman Girl and Boy awards were given to Sandra Scafide and Possum Dunn, respectively. As the crowning event, the Freshmen spent the evening at a dance given especially in their honor. When the exciting day finally drew to a close, the tired boys and girls headed home, and the dogs were dogs no more. Aubrey McCleary is crowned King of Freshman Day while his Queen Marilyn Allard kneels beside him. Cadets raise the banner signifying the official opening of freshman day. DAY This is Freshman entertainment??? The first delightful event of the day is the pairing off of coeds with cadets. The King and Queen followed by their court lead the freshman processional to the parade grounds. I f - LONG The cheers of L.S.U. supporters in the Greek Theater urge Tigers on in Maryland. Maryland, we are here was the theme used for L.S.U. ' s long distance cheering. A group of students realiizng that there would be few Tiger supporters in Maryland to urge our team on initiated the idea, with the help of the telephone company, of transporting cheers of L.S.U. students via telephone lines to Col- lege Park, Maryland. The day of the big game about two thousand Tiger supporters assembled at the Greek Theatre. Wearing sweaters and lightweight jackets for the seventy degree weather, the crowd listened over loudspeakers to a radio broadcast of the game being played in College Park. On the stage, decorated for the occasion, cheerleaders led the fans in yells which were picked up by microphones and sent to Maryland while the game was in progress. Even the Tiger band was on hand to add to the spirit of the affair. Though the Tigers were never ahead in the game the enthusiasm contin ued until the last play, and the Tigers in Terp territory didn ' t feel quite so far from home. Go, go, go for a touchdown! The backstage crew is busy transmitting the cheers of the students to College Park, Maryland. DISTANCE CHEERING Mable Richardson accepts the first place trophy ;;i en to Phi Mu for collecting the most money to finance the long distance cheering.

Mike is impersonated at the Homecoming Variety show welcoming grads . Miss Linda Fields, the first recent Homecoming Queen chosen by the student body, is crowned. I | HOMECOMING Never, perhaps, is the campus more collegiate than at Homecoming. Alumni from the corners of the country flock back to the Ole War Skule , and the cherished memories and school spirit that stir within them seem to spread throughout the entire student body. It is a day of excitement and celebration, of remembering and re- living. Homecoming this year rushed the alums and students at a breakneck pace through a series of events beginning with an open house honoring both alumni and Mississippi State visitors. The student stage show Tiger Holiday , was then presented by a cast of one hundred students. The lovely homecoming Queen, Miss Linda Fields, was introduced to the audience after the show. With much cheering and acrobatics, L.S.U. and Mississippi State held a joint pep rally on the Indian Mounds. Then, still breathless and enthusiastic, every- one returned once more to the Gym Armory for the Homecoming Dance and the music of Tommy Crews ' Orchestra. The climatic event was, of course, the foot- ball game, and thousands of Tigers and Bulldogs filled the stadium to watch the contest. When the ex- citing game was ended and everyone headed home, the campus returned again to its normal pace. The afternoon of Homecoming a spirited pep rally was held on the Indian mounds. The Queen is presented as she walks through an arch made bv members of Scabbard and Blade. The James A. Xoe sweepstake trophy is presented to Theta Kappa Phi for the best over all Homecoming These sponsors of the members of the Student Council decoration. comprised the Queen ' s court. Theta Kappa Phi ' s original idea of Marooned on the Moon won them the first place fraternity as well as the best over all trophy. HOMECOMING The first place trophy in Student Center division went to the Bapitst Student Union. One thing which makes Homecoming so colorful are the original decorations made by various student orga- nizations. Alpha Phi Omega sets up the rules of the affair and presents trophies to the winning and placing decorations in each division. Fraternities, sororities, R.O.T.C. squadrons, miscellaneous orga- niaztions, and student centers go all out to make their decorations the biggest and the best. The night before Homecoming the fraternity houses buzz with activity as the fraternity boys work all night ham- mering, sawing, painting and cutting crepe paper in preparing their decorations. Sorority girls work until wee hours putting on the finishing touches, then at dawn they set their masterpieces up in front of various buildings on the campus. For the student centers, organizations and squadrons the most talented get the job of designing the decorations, but all pitch in to help set them up. Theta Kappa Phi, Chi Omega, Baptist Student Union, Company A, and Alpha Chi Sigma took first place honors this year. Theta Kappa Phi also copped the sweepstakes trophy for the best over all decoration. .11 The pre-game student Variety Show provided good entertainment for L.S.U. grads. Both students and alumni were honored at the Home- coming dance. L.S.U. ' s expecting victory was the idea Chi Omega used for their first place decoration, and that ' s exactly what L.S.U. got. r MILITARY BALL Dub Gibbens and his sponsor Linda Lampin are those presented. The top brass in the R.O.T.C. are slightly outshone by their lovely sponsors. Music for the ball was provided by none other than the renowned Les Brown. Go, go, go!! On the evening of December 2, the coeds of L.S.U. underwent a transformation rivaling that of the silk worm ' s cocoon. From layers of cold cream and a maze ol pin curls emerged the beautifully gowned, lovely girls who arrived that night at the annual Military Ball. Clouds of net and tulle, sequins and flowers, broken In the tan uniforms of the military, swirled around the C. m Armory as the couples danced to the music of Les Brown and his Band of Renown . As one of the most popular dance bands in America, Les Brown entertained the crowd with several of his original com- positions and a host of old favorites. Preceding the dance, the Army and Air Force R.O.T.C. Sponsors were pre- sented on the stage climaxed by the appearance of the Little Colonel. Then the evening blended into the whirl of happy couples, floaty dresses ,and danceable music which will always be remembered as the 1955 Military Ball. These couples aren ' t quite so energetic; they prefer to sit this one out. Couples crowd around the stage to enjoy the music of the Brown Band. m r DANCES L.S.U. is by no means what students refer to as a party school . Now and then, however, to break the intellectual monotony students have a dance, better known as a blast . Two of the most successful blasts this year were the Barrister ' s Ball and the Hal Mclntyre-Pee Wee Hunt Dance. The annual Barrister ' s Ball, exclusively for students in the Law School, was held on the Heidel- berg Roof. Following in the true law tradition it turned out to be quite a party climaxing with Mr. Dainow leading Alouetta . The Inter-Fraternity Council spon- sored the appearance of two orchestras, Pee Wee Hunt and Hal Mclntyre. Pee Wee Hunt provided music for those who prefer jitterbug, and for those who don ' t dig Rock and Roll Hal Mclntyre furnished waltzes and fox trots. At midnight students scampered home Cinderella style, and with feet under desk and head in book begin dreaming up next year ' s blast . Ain ' t love grand (especially with the dreamy music of Hal Mclntyre in the background)!! I Students enjoy cokes (?) at the Barrister ' s Ball. Sorry, but I ' m not allowed to dance with students, says Jeanne Macmanus , lovely vocalist with Hal Mc- Intyre ' s Band. Pee Wee Hunt goes to town on the drums. The Barristers ' Ball was held for students in Law School at the Heidelberg Roof. Hal Mclntyre furnished music for those who prefer slow numbers at the I.F.C. Dance. The word, Mr. Dainow, the word! The pause that refreshes. DRAMA L.S.U. theatre-goers were treated to quite a variety of plays this year. A cast of hundreds was used in the Acadian Pageant which was presented in the St. Martin- ville amphitheater in connection with the bi-cemennial celebration of the expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia and their flight to Louisiana. Dr. Oran Teague was the director of this immense undertaking. Miss Sha- ron Anthony, a newcomer to the Speech Department, directed Barefoot in Athens based on the life of the Greek philosopher, Socrates. Words of wisdom by Soc- rates left the audience well satisfied. Tennessee Wil- liams ' A Streetcar Named Desire ' was by far the best effort of the year. Don Blakely did practically every- thing but act in the production, though his two most worthy contributions were his directing and his design- ing of the sets. The cast composed mostly of graduate students turned in a fine performance. Besides these ma- jor productions Workshop plays give actors of less ex- perience a chance to display their ability in hopes that their performance will win them at least a small part in a future major production. The first major production was the Acadian Pageant given in St. Martinville. The director of Barefoot . . . , Sharon Anthony, gives final instructions to the actors. Socrates (Norman Heap) defends himself at his trial in Barefoot in Athens . Eunice, the woman up-stairs, chats with Blanche in the Kowalski ' s shabby apartment. Blanche (Pat Baggett) frightened by thunder throws herself into Stanley ' s (Gus Staub) arms. Members of the cast put the finishing touches on their makeup at the Pageant. Socrates reminisces with his wife Xantippi. - One of Columbine ' s persistant lovers, Brighella, appears in the comic opera Little Harlequinade. Liberace has nothing on our Don Blakely. MUSIC For the musically-minded the School of Music furnishes a variety of excellent entertainment each year. Three comic operas were the first feature this year. Little Harlequinade , There and Back , and Comedy on the Bridge were presented under the direction of Peter Paul Fuchs, and consisted of an all-student cast. Don Blakely ' s sets and Edith Dabney ' s costumes added a professional touch to the three productions. Maestro Fuchs also directed the L.S.U. Symphony Orchestra, a group composed of students and faculty. The entire Orchestra presented Werner Egk ' s Overture to the opera Die Zanbergeige . A smaller group, the Chamber Orchestra, gave a concert later in the season. The A Cappellfl Choir rounded out the year ' s musical enter- tainment with their Candlelight Concert. Under the direction of Dallas Draper the choir performed in its flawless fashion. The A Cappella Choir under the direction of Dallas Draper presents a Candlelight Concert. Greta Garbo, playing the part of Columbine, and her two suitors, Harle- quine and Brighella, comprise the cast in the opera Little Harlequinade. Alice Lewi was the female soloist of the A Cappella Choir Candlelight Concert. The Bearded Sage from the opera There and Back remained un- known to the audience. Jane Damron and Hayden Blanchard had the leads in There and Back a modern opera set in Germany. The band made an appearance at the Long Distance Cheering Rally. BAND Many students do not realize the work that being a member of the L.S.U. Band requires. Frequently the performances of the band are merely taken for granted and little appreciation is shown. Actually the band is one of the hardest working groups on the campus, and if you stop and think of the varied performances that the band gives you realize what an enormous amount of time and work is required. The band ' s presence at all home football games adds spirit in the student section. At half time their excellent shows are sometimes more entertaining than the games. When possible the band also follows the team to out-of-town games. This year they furnished music and pep at the Long Distance Cheering Rally. To add to the spirit of Christmas the Tiger Marching Band presented its annual Christmas Carol Concert open to all students. Later in the year the Concert Band, conducted by L. Bruce Jones, performed for a public concert. The band is best known for half-time shows at football games. Members of the Varsity Band presented its annual Christmas Carol Concert in the Field House. I ni , Each year the L.S.U. Band plays host to high school bands from all over the state. Ji-i-H IHii One of the band ' s best performances was the half-time Homecoming show it presented. Members of the Concert Band gave a performance in the University Theater. f i ' ' M a ,O ( . Actress Constance Bennett portrays a distraught female waiting for a telephone call from her boy friend as one of her numbers. VISITORS Distinguished visitors to the L.S.U. campus ranged from those renowned in the musical field to a world news analyst. Dwight Cooke, foreign correspondent, news analyst and author was the first guest brought to the campus by the Artists and Lecturers Committee. Re- flecting the thinking of world leaders in international and foreign affairs, he asserted that the United States would be the center of world history. Actress Constance Bennett also sponsored by Artists and Lecturers pre- sented a one-hour program of characteriaztions and in- terpretive readings. Perhaps the most popular and well received group of visitors to the campus were the Four Freshmen who played to a full house of enthusiastic students. Their selections ranged from their hit record- ings to rock and roll numbers. Another musical group appearing here for the Military Ball was Les Brown and his band. With him was his featured vocalist Jo Ann Greer who dubbed the vocal for Rita Hayworth in the movie Miss Sadie Thompson . Witold Malcuzynske, Polish pianist, was urged to do three encores when he appeared on campus giving a piano concert with inter- national flavor. Dwight Cooke chats with Dr. Kistler after Mr. Cooke ' s enlightening lecture on America ' s part in world history. Jo Ann Greer, singer with Les Brown ' s Band displays the talent that got her the sing- ing role in Miss Sadie Thompson. The versatile Four Freshmen present one of their lit recordings. Witold Malcuzynske chats with admirers following his piano concert. One of the highlights of the annual rodeo is wild horse racing. As the rays of late afternoon sunshine fell over the campus, the quiet calm was pierced by an ear-splitting yell from the bandannaed throat of a Block and Bridle cowboy. The annual Rodeo parade was under way. Complete with clowns who, in true clown tradition, kissed all the pretty girls, the parade crossed the campus while a loudspeaker urged attendance to the Block and Bridle Rodeo. On the next day, which was declared Western Day by President Middleton, levis and boots broke out like rash, and excitement ran high as the rodeo began its three day run. The audience was pre- sented with a breath-taking array of wild horses racing, bareback riding, bullriding, calf-scrambling, calf roping, bulldogging, and ladies barrel racing. Equally as breath- taking was the lovely queen of this twenty-first annual event, Miss Mignonne Yancey. At the concluding per- formance, the winners in each event were determined by the number of points received. When it was all over, the cowboys brushed off the dust, put away their ten- gallon hats, and settled down to wait for next year ' s Rodeo. Cowboys loiter around the chutes waiting for the rodeo to get under way. RODEO Whoa boy! The chute opens, and the cowboy hangs on for dear life in the bareback bronc riding event. L.S.U. cowboy attempts to throw steer down in the bull dogging event. Charge! Preceding the business meeting, the R.E.W. Committee of 100 held a chapel service. RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS WEEK The Committee on Men ' s Dorms holds its business meeting. The Girls Dorm Commi e e P ns for the dormitory discussions. Your God is too small was the theme of the 1956 Religious Emphasis Week held on campus. Planning for the entire week of religious activities started in May of the previous year, almost ten months prior to the February 26 to March 1 date of R.E.W. The Commit- tee of 100 , the largest on the campus composed of students, with the help of the R.E.W. staff, planned the entire affair. Some of the highlights of the week were the all-campus Convocation which featured the main guest speaker Dr. John Entrikin, sorority discus- sions, fraternity discussions, dormitory discussions, semi- nars, Chapel services, a Bible study workhop, and Sun- day services. Dr. William Heyne, nationally known in the field of church music, held clinics during the week for students interested in that field. As a fitting climax to R.E.W. a festival was held. At the close of the in- spirational week many students came to the conclusion that their God was too small, and as a result of the in- spiration they received during R.E.W. enlarged their spiritual concepts. Members of the Executive Committee headed by Edith Meyer (fifth from left) chat with Hollis Hay- ward. This group of students dis- cussed the book, Your God Is Too Small which was the theme for R.E. W. VARSITY SHOW Gus Weill served as emcee for the all student Varsity Show. Wow, what room service! Jan Pelleran ' s tap dance added a great deal to the elaborate sets. These are L.S.U. coeds? The ' 55 Varsity show was in effect an experiment since one had not been held on the campus since 1941. The Student Council decided that a Varsity Show would be a worthwhile project, and as it turned out they were quite right. Gu Veill was appointed director of the show, and it was strictly an all student production. Even the sets and lighting, though they looked professional, were handled by the students. There was much doubt a to whether the show was going to be a success, and much time and effort went into its planning. The show plaved to a full house, and for the viewers it provided a full night of entertainment which included everything from Minnie Pearl to a sophisticated sym- phonette. Latin Amerian dancers, skits, satires, joke tell- ing, singers and even a rifle drill were received with great ovation. The Varsity Show was a success! A quartet straight from the roaring 20 ' s sang Angry. -. It ' s easy to see there was tough competition! PAN-AMERICAN FIESTA Si, si, Senorita , it ' s spring and time for the annual Pan American Fiesta! The fiesta is sponsored by the Latin American Council with assistance from the Stu- dent Council to promote better relations with students from South America. The night of the Fiesta students danced ' south-of-the-border ' style to the music of Bobby Quinton ' s Latin American band. Decorations of draw- ings from famous bull fights added to die Latin Ameri- can atmosphere. Flags of all countries decorated the entrance to die Pan American House for the festive occasion. The Queen, Cordelia Mora, was chosen from twenty-one candidates nominated from each of the Pan American countries and was crowned by Governor Kennon in an impressive ceremony. The Queen of the Fiesta, Cordelia Mora from Guate- mala City, is honored. Tonight the Queen governs! Dr. Charles Goss, head of the department of anatomy, points out bony landmark of the foot to some of the freshmen class. The sophomore class studies microscopic slides of dis- eased tissue and organs obtained at autopsy or surgery in Charity Hospital. Dr. Frye introduces the speaker for the Dean ' s clinic held every Wednesday at noon in the new auditorium. Dr. A. S. Harris, head of the Department of Physiology, and John Firesto ne, Assistant, check on one of the new pieces of apparatus. . ! . - I. C. Turnley abandons his usual reading matter (comic books i and checks on the recent medical literature. One of the branches of L.S.U.. the Medical School, is located in the ' . ' city that care forgot. New Orleans. For the Med students it ? not all work and no play it ' s just much work and little play. Thus, many of the student activities of the Med School consist of activities of a prac- tical value, those in which the students of medicine would benefit. An example of this is the Noon-time Clinic held every Wednesday where students have an opportunity to hear a guest speaker. Another center of student activity is the newly completed library where students spend time doing sereach. reading, and pust browsing around. Then there are after-class sessions with the professors, and try- ing out new equipment which constitute a great deal of extra time at Med School. In spite of this students find time for an occasional bridge game in the lounge, bull sessions in the dorm, and going out on the town. MEDICAL SCHOOL ACTIVITIES In the junior year students are given instructions in sterile and surgical technique by performing surgery on dogs. The Student Lounge is always a popular spot, especially for a spirited game of bridge.

With December came their Christmas orphan party given with the Phi Gams in their new house. The orphans had a wonderful time, and so did the Alpha Chis and Phi Gams. After this, plans began for their formal in January, the theme of which was Winter Won- derland. To end the school year right, the girls had their spring house party. Individually the girls stayed busy, too. Charlene Mon- tero and Sylvia Allen spent Tuesdays between one and two o ' clock marching with the ROTC boys; Jane Touch- stone, Pat McXeely, and Lynett Deming appeared in the Acadian Pageant; and Martha Nettles was a lady in the Homecoming court.

For the second year straight, these girls were the champs of the Powder Bowl. Sissy George could really handle that football at least so the Kappas and Chi Os thought. Out of the many honors that the Pi Phis hold on campus, here are a few: Nancy Jo Wallis and Barbara Triche, princesses in the Freshman Court; Ann Osborn, princess in the Block and Bridle Rodeo Court; Mary Ann McLaurin, Ann Pearce, Connie Garidell, Anne Schmidt, and Roan Geisenberger, ROTC sponsors; and Jane Ann Alford, Darling of L.S.l.

Each fraternity has two representatives on the council, one selected by the fraternity and the President automatically the other. As a group, these representatives set up rules and policies that the fraternities are guided b in such activities as rushing and pledging. Socially, the IFC did not lag behind anyone this year. Before Christmas the boys sponsored a concert by the Four Freshmen. Then after Christmas they sponsored a concert and dance with Pee Wee Hunt and Hal Nfclntyre furnish ing the music. The IFC knows that there is something else besides partying in campus life. This year the organization helped with the United Givers ' Drive and Religious Emphasis Week. This spring a Greek Week, sponsored by the IFC, promoted good relations between the fraternities, students, faculty, administration, and community. First Row: Fred F.

At Christmas time the boys held their Cinderella in Christmas Land party at the Jefferson Country club. Also, during this holiday season, the Pi Phi ' s and ATO ' s joined up to play Santa to some underprivileged children. Other significant events were the Founders ' Day Banquet and the annual formal. To close the year the boys got back on their Bayou Brawl spree and had a party just recently called, of course, the Bayou Brawl. Several outstanding ATO ' s are George Slick Sli- inan. named to Vho ' s Who in American Colleges and Uni- versities: John Gardner, awarded an aeronautical grant for outstanding achievement in Aeronautical Engineering; and Mike Schulz, appointed Morale Commissioner for the LSU student body.

President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Delta Kappa Epsilon was founded at Yale University in 1844; in 1923 the Zeta Zeta chapter was established at LSU. Throughout the football season the Dekes threw a party after every football game. At the close of the season they were invited to participate in the annual KA Charity Bowl. After several weeks of practice the boys emerged from the game victorious and proud owners of the Charity- Bowl trophy. Christmas season started the string of parties. The Dekes and Kappas joined together to give a party for some underprivileged children. Then the boys gave their annual Christmas party to end 1955. Besides the dancing, entertain- ment was provided by a skit that the pledges presented. With the beginning of the new year came a slew of par- tiesall great! They had the Dog-Patch party, the spring formal, the Bowery party where Miss Bowery of 1956 was selected, and the LSU-Tulane Covington Picnic. The good brothers fondly remember Trich ' s hill- billy music; the pledges kidnapping Ken Abington; Brew- ton ' s brain; Frank Whispers Foil and his politics; and Papa Johnson all these along with the other memories that go with a year in a frat. i First Row: Richard Hill Baker Albert M.

The KA ' s began the year by sponsoring their annual Charity Bowl at the end of the football season. This year the KA ' s and Dekes clashed on the grid. Other activities of the year include their Cnristmas party and their Apache party. Of course, the highlighting event of the year was the Old South Ball. At the beginning of the week-end of the ball the boys proclaimed their secession from the union, hoisted the stars and bars, and spent the rest of the week-end singing Dixie. For the ball the boys donned Confederate uniforms and their dates wore traditional ball dresses. First Row: Alfred Buddy Abdalla Henry F. Adolph Troy E. Bain George W.

In the way of parties the boys had their annual Christ- mas party, their Stardust formal, a South Sea Island party, and a Red-Head party. At Easter they sponsored an Easter Egg Hunt for some orphans.

The pledges gave a skit impersonating members. Two of the outstanding impersonations were Billy Billeaud ' s imitation of Sonny DeYillier and Buck Moran ' s imitation of Travis Harrison. Other successful parties of the year were the French Quarter party, the Founders ' Day banquet and dance, and their formal.

There was also the famous Beach- comber ' s Ball, and the Corral party. The party of all parties was their annual Black and White formal. Besides partying for dieir own enjoyment, the boys know how to sponsor a party that children like. This year they sponsored a Christmas party and an Easter party for some orphans. Many of the girls on the campus enjoy free meals at the SAE house; it seems this winter they suffered a terrific shock when they discovered SAE dinner bills in their mail boxes.

Among the brains of the fraterniu are Phi Eta Sig- ma members Clifton Hall and Truman Hawes. An out- standing fellow on the campus is ODK member. Bill M - Sigma Chi has a number of members representing them in varsity athletic events: Roger Sigler. Buddy Tudor, Pat Scanlon, and Kenny Carter. Then, of course, a few of the boys entered politics. Arden French Jr., w T as elected senior president of the College of Agriculture; Johnny Daiglc, senior president of the College of Engineering; and Dick Knight, secretary-treasurer of the freshman law class. These boys believe that social events help make a suc- cessful year. This year was no exception. They had a Bee Bop party, the traditional Milk and Doughnut pariv. and their Pirogue Derby and Sorority Field Day. The boys seemed to enjoy watching the sorority girls milk cows. eat pies, and throw eggs; they even enjoyed watching the Mi s Venus Contest.

In 1887, Phi chapter was established on the LSI campus. A charter house was built and later sold. In 1938 their present house on Fraternity Row was built. Socially the Sigma Nil ' s have kept quite busy this year. They had a Christmas party, their White Star Formal, and the annual Taxi dance. Perhaps one of the most important reasons for the success of the fraternity is the fact that the Creed serves as an ideal which strengthens and inspires the brothers. The first paragraph of the treed reads: To believe in the life of love, to walk in the way of honor, to serve in the sight of truth this is the Life, the Way, and the Light of Sigma Nu this is the Creed of our fraternity.

This year the Theta Xi parties have really called for a variety of costumes. At their Bowery party the girls were decked out in black silk dresses with red garters or some similar attire. Some of the boys were reallv groovy with their long watch chains. At their Mr. Esquire party the boys and their dates were dressed to suit the occasion. This party presented a definite picture of high society. Their Shipwreck party was a huge success. The interior of the fraterniu house was decorated to resemble the floor of the ocean. Costumes were either rags or sailor outfits. One of the Theta Xi pledges pulled a real bo-bo this year. He picked up his blind date for one of the foot- ball games. About an hour later, the couple discovered they had made a mistake. Meanwhile, their real dates had given them up for lost! First Row: Gerald M. Belisle Ayned M. Bell Raphiel J.

What a problem this presented, but in true Ole War Skule tradition, the men rose to the occasion and the few were chosen. Woman Suffrage was forgotten as only the men of the campus went to the polls. From the pictures posted on the bulletin board the Beauties, Favorites and Darling were chosen. The ballot-box was really full at the end of that day. An old southern mansion was the setting for the presenta- tion of our beauties, with the proper mood set by a tableau representing a little of that charm so loved in the south.

JlM CORDETT THE COACHING STAFF No matter how you look at it, a team is only as good as the coaches that field it. LSU ' s Paul Dietzel probably thought himself privileged to have such a fine coaching staff working under him, criticizing when necessary and praising when the occasion merited it. To Abner Wim- berly, Charles McClendon, George Terry, Doc Erskine, Pop Strange, Carl Maddox, Bill Peterson and Trainer Marty Broussard go a host of thanks for a job well done!

(r W 1 9 5 5 - T H E Louisiana State University turned economic-wise for the 1955 football season and purchased a personality-laden package deal. Main principals involved were James J. Corbett and Paul Dietzel. Corbet returned to direct the Old War Skule ' s athletic policy and Dietzel, the young Army man, came in to direct the Tigers on the playing field. With the advent of the Corbett-Dietzel system, LSU began to reap the benefits of hard work, hustle, determination, and goodwill. Dietzel ' s Tigers weren ' t great but they were little short of terrific hustle-wise. They won but three games, while losing five and tying two. However, they ran up against some of the most formidable opposition in the 318 BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA Pop ' Strange watches the hopeful closely at spring practice. country including Kentucky. Texas A M, Rice, Georgia Tech, -Florida. Mississippi, Maryland, Mississippi State, Arkansas and Tulane. The wins were chalked up against Kentucky, Mississippi State and Arkansas. The ties were with Rice and the perennial rival. Tulane. The rest went into the lost column. But always the Bengals of Paul I)i -t el played with spirit and determination and guts! In victory and defeat they ran on and off the field, never sluggishly, ever Spartan-like. So went the tale of LSU ' s football fortunes. With both Diet el, who got a raise in salary, and Corbett, who re- ceived the applause of everything and everyone he came in contact with, back again and a bunch of ready, willing and able Tiger footballers next season can ' t be anything but optimistic! JACK GILMORE Athletic Business Manager 319 ALL This is the way it ' s done, fellows JOE TUMINELLO All Southeastern From out of the line came Joe Tuminello and Earl Leggett to bring gridiron fame to tlie Old War Skule by being selected on virtually every SEC team in the country. The AP, UP and INS honored the agile end and the trouble-making tackle with first-string positions on the mythical dream team. Right end Joe Tuminello was everything an end could and should be and more. Although the enemy defense crowded him at times because of his excellent offensive ability, Joe came up with the type of defensive play that just wouldn ' t be denied. He batted down key opposition plays with unbelievable regularity. In hustle, he was the equivalent of a pair of ends. The 6 ' 2 senior from Brookhaven, Mississippi closed out his college football career with four letters. 320 SOUTHEASTERN EARL LECCETT All Southeaster! Left tackle Earl Leggett scared many an opposing lineman during the ' 55 season. The big 265-pounder with the pleasing disposition left his kind personality on the sidelines and went on to play some of the cleanest and roughest football seen around these parts in quite some time. The bulky junior from Jacksomille. Florida transferred from Hinds Junior College where he played two seasons of football and by the time die season was over. Tiger rooters were still thanking their lucky stars for the transfer. Leggett ' s handling of Man, land ' s All- American center. Bob Pellegrini, is enough to rank him as one of die best big linemen to ever come out of die Purple and Gold forward wall. 321 Mike and the cheerleaders hit the field L. S. U. 19 KENTUCKY 7 An Aggie steps too high for outstretched O. K. Ferguson TIGER STADIUM, Sept. 17 Paul Dietzel waved a magical wand in his LSU coaching debut, and the fighting Tigers opened the season with a stunning 19-7 upset of the Kentucky Wildcats. Dietzel fielded an expertly coached team that demon- strated lots of hustle and loads of ability. Joe May, Matt Burns and Vince Gonzalez proved offensive standouts, as did Joe Tuminello, Enos Parker and Ed Cassidy on de- fense. In the first quarter, the Bengals grabbed the opening kickoff and moved 79 yards in 16 plays for a touchdown. Burns capped the drive with a 13 yard toss to Gonzalez for the six points. Burns and Gonzalez were again instru- mental in a Tiger tally, this one coming in the third period. From the 28 yard line, Burns spied his sure-handed half- back and hit him with a pass on the 10. Gonzales skidded the rest of the way for the score. Durwood Graham made his only conversion of the night putting the Tigers way ahead. Then, little May took the kickoff following a ' Cat score and raced 96 yards up the middle for the final tally. The lithe track star was far ahead of even the fastest Kentucky defender. Kentucky ' s lone score came in the third period on a 24 yard heave from quarterback Bob Hardy to end Howie Schnellenberger. Joe Tuminello rushed Kentucky ' s ace passer, Hardy, all night, and the line play of Cassidy, Ziegler and Parker was most effective. 322 L. S. U. TEXAS A M 28 COTTON BOWL STADIUM. Dallas. Sept. 24 A native of Louisiana. John Crow, flew behind an over- whelmingly fast-charging line as the Texas Aggies trounced LSU ' s Tigers 28-0. The big A M line chopped holes in the Tiger forward wall big enough to drag a Texas steer through, and Crow and Jack Pardee. battering fullback, obliged with two touchdowns each. Highlighting the contest was a 77 yard touchdown effort by the speedy Crow, who almost cast his football lot with the Tigers. Crow ' s other touchdown came on an 8 yard dash around right end. Pardee ' s scores came on spurts of 3 and 2 yards respectively. The Tigers just couldn ' t get going. And when they did manage to get a drive rolling, alert Aggie defensive play stepped in and smothered die whole operation. The Bengals did move down to die enemy 2-yard line in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, but diis was mostly against A M reserves. O. K. Ferguson was the Tiger workhorse, carrying 10 times for a net total of 40 yards, more than half of LSU ' s net rushing total of 77 yards. M. C. Reynolds and Matt Burns did outpass the opposition though, hitting on 10 of 19 passes for 115 yards. The Aggies got only 25 yards through die air. Billy Smith. Tiger end. had a terrific night as far as punting goes. He kicked diree times and averaged 55 yards per boot, one of his kicks traveling 81 yards and out of bounds on the Aggie one-yard stripe. Something ' s up! LEVI Cnuc BILLY SMITH What price Bengal loyalty? L. S. U. RICE 20 20 RICE STADIUM, Oct. 1 M. C. Reynolds calmly dropped back and shot an 18-yard pass to Vincent Gon- zalez for a touchdown with only 22 seconds remaining in the game to enable the LSU Tigers to tie the Rice Owls 20-20. LSU took the lead on two occasions only to see the Owls fight back and tie the score and then go ahead in the last quarter. Reynolds put the Bengals in the lead when he snuck over from the one-yard line in the first quarter. A 23-yard pass from Reynolds to Johns set up the score. Rice came back with their brilliant soph quarter- back King Hill, who lobbed a 5 yard pass to Don Gee to even things up. Don Scully fell on an Owl fumble on the enemy 8-yard line, Ferguson taking it over in three line bucks. Rice marched right back with Hill passing to Marshall Crawford for 30 yards and a tally to tie the score. Both Durwood Graham and Jerry Hall made their first two placements but each missed on the third try. Don Stinson looks like he ' s running into trouble Durwood Graham spills Rice went ahead when Trask recovered an LSU fumble on the LSU 10 yard line. Three plays later, Hill ran off the middle for a TD. In the fading moments of the last quarter Paul Rebsamen gambled on a fourth down play and picked up enough yardage to start the Tigers rolling with a first down. Reynolds was then sent in and completed a 38-yard pass to Don Stinson to put the Bengals in scoring range. After the score, Graham had to hurry his kick and missed.

GEORGIA TECH 7 TIGER STADIUM, Oct. 8 Georgia Tech, a us- ually vauntful, razzle-dazzle grid power, was forced to call upon a pass play with a minute and forty seconds re- maining in the first half to squeeze by a group of stub- born and determined LSU Tigers. 7-0. More dian 60,000 chilly fans watched Tech, ranked No. 4 in the nation, use every bit of its repertoire, but to no avail. Time and again. Joe Tuminello. John Wood. Don Scully, Durwood Graham, and Paul Ziegler threw back Tech runners. Jimmy Scooter Thompson. Tech jet, did manage to return a Tiger punt 87 yards for a TD, but the officials called him out of bounds on his own 40. The Yellow-Jacket score came on a 46-yard pass play from quarterback Toppy Vann to halfback Gene Volkert. Burton Grant converted. Dietzel ' s Tigers didn ' t fare so well. Tech ' s mu lti- defense pattern kept them from getting a drive rolling. The Bengals did advance to the Yellow- Jacket 22-yard line in the third period, but a fourth-down pass failed to gain the necessary yardage for a first down. The Tiger kicking game was way off as they averaged only 36 yards as compared with 40.2 for Tech. The ' Jackets ' kept the home team with their backs to the wall most of the night. Offensively, Don Stinson. Larry King and Vincent Gonzalez were best for LSU. Defensively, for Tech, Cap- tain Jimmy Morris and All-American guard. Franklin Brooks, sparkled.

U. 14 FLORIDA 18 FLORIDA FIELD, Gainesville, Act. 15 LSU ' s possession style football garnered the Bengal 294 yards rushing to 197 for the Gators, but the boys from Tiger Town couldn ' t halt the touchdown duo of Roundtree and Simpson who out-sped the Tigers, 18-14. Jim Roundtree, Gator halfback, on his first assign- ment of the afternoon, swept around left end and galloped 60 yards to score Florida ' s first touchdown and set the tempo for the game. The Gators scored again early in the second period on a thirteenth scrimmage play brought about by a series of curious officiating decisions. A 1 2 yard pass from Dick Allen to Don Chandler rang the bell for the second Gator score. The third and all-significant Florida score was ac- complished by Mr. Headache himself, Jackie Simpson, who returned a punt 62 yards through bewildered Tiger defenders. LSU, after watching Florida show off for three quar- ters, broke into the scoring column with a 75 yard drive, climaxed by Vince ' Chico ' Gonzalez ' s 4-yard smash into the end zone. The don ' t count us out yet Tigers got their second score, when Buck Alexander blocked Dick Allen ' s punt on the Tiger 45, and Paul Ziegler snatched the precarious pigskin from a swarm of players and romped 33 yards to tally. The Tigers made a final desperate drive that died at midfield with the Scoreboard clock. 326 L. S. U. OLE MISS 26 29 TIGER STADIUM. Oct. 29 LSU scored four timely touchdowns to Ole Miss ' three but the Tigers came out on the short end of a 29-26 count in a wild and woolly scoring melee. The talented toe of Paige Cothren. Ole Miss full- back, proved the difference as he booted two out of four field-goal attempts and successfully converted after all Rebel scores for a night ' s total of nine points. The game was strictly a see-saw affair with the Rebs rolling off to a 10-0 lead in the first half. In the second quarter, the Tigers shoved across two scores to grab a 13-10 advantage. Another Johnnie Reb score made it 19-13 at half time. In the third period, Ole Miss led 22-13, increasing it to 29-13 early in the last quarter. With less than eight minutes to play, Paul Dietzel ' s Tigers hurried across two quickies to bring the count to 29-26. Unwilling to concede defeat. M. C. Reynolds pitched the Bengals from dieir own 1 7 to midfield in the final two minutes of the game. Quarterback Eagle Day, Ole Miss signal-caller de- luxe, and M. C. Reynolds dominated the game with their M. C. Reynolds goes for a good gain against Ole Miss passing. Day threw 16 times, hitting on 10 for 151 yards and two touchdowns. The Eagle ' s passes to Earl Blair and Bob Drewery accounted for TD ' s and Billy Kinard got the other one on an 8-yard plunge. Reynolds hurled 30 passes and completed 17 for three scores and 199 yards. He hit Chuck Johns once for 13 yards and once for 25 yards for touchdowns. Vince Gonzalez took in the other pass for 9 yards and a marker. Reynolds scored once him- self on a sneak from die one-yard line and also w-as dumped in die end zone for a safety and two Ole Miss points. Ed Cassidy (60, on ground ) didn ' t quite get the Rebs ' Blair on time. Buck Alexander (80 ) looks frustrated. - 1 i T Long-distance cheering from the Greek Theatre to College Park, Maryland L S. U. MARYLAND 13 BYRD STADIUM, College Park, Md., Nov. 5 LSU went up against the number 1 team in the nation, played them in their own home park and made the mighty Terrapins sweat a bit before bowing 13-0. Maryland ' s scores came in the second and third quar- ters. The Terps drove 56 yards in 10 plays for their first six points, with quarterback Frank Tamburello perforat- ing the ozone with a 32-yard TD aerial to Jack Healy. The second Turtle score came the first time Mary- land got its hands on the ball in the third period. This time the Terps moved 52 yards in 10 plays, with Ed Vereb skirting right end for 4 yards and the tally. Bob Laughery kicked the point to end the scoring for the game. The Tigers threatened late in the game, when Ed Cassidy smashed through and slapped down a Maryland punt, which John Wood recovered on the Maryland 24. M. C. Reynolds promptly took to the air, but the drive ended when his second aerial- was hi-jacked. Maryland picked up 170 yards rushing to LSU ' s 148. Johns picked up 94 yards on 17 tries for the Tigers. Big O. K. Bull Ferguson got 21 for 7, and Chico Gon- zalez picked up 14 for 5.

STATE 7 TIGER STADIUM, Nov. 12 A lean and hungry Tiger that had gone without a good solid homecoming meal since ' 49 tore into, ripped and ravished a crippled Mississippi State Bulldog to the delight of a victory- hungry old-grad crowd. Before the Tiger was through, the Scoreboard read LSU-34, Mississippi State- 7. The victory was doubly sweet in that it marked the first time the Tigers had beaten a Mississippi school since ' 51. Minus the services of the heralded Art Davis, and operating with the limited services only of steady halfback Jim Harness and clever quarterback Bill Stanton, State had to be content with a handout score from the Tigers. The handout was dished out in the second half after a bad pass from center went beyond Billy Smith and into the end zone. The Tiger got the ball out of the end zone, but by such a slight margin that State ' s Jim Bain was able to snake over on a third down. Thereafter, as far as the Tigers were concerned, charity began at home. LSU ' s first score came midway in the first quarter after Joe Tuminello jarred the ball loose from quarter- back Stanton, and Billy Smith recovered for the Bengal ' s Ted Paris and Co. mow down a Maroon! For whom the clock tolls? State! 330 DON STIXSOX Homecoming spirit Alpha Xi Delta style 01.1 State ' s 29. M. C. Reynolds passed to Smith from 12 yards out for the score. Diirwood Graham added the extra point and LSU led 7-0. In the second quarter, guard Ted Paris intercepted a Stanton pass on the Tiger 38 and returned it to the Maroon 31. LSU then went the 31 yards in seven plays with Jimmy Laiche ' s fine running setting up the score. Matt Burns carried it across. Gonzalez missed the try after, and LSU led 13-0 at the half. Early in the third quarter Don Scully blocked Molly Halbert ' s attempted punt and Durwood Graham spread- eagle on it in the end zone for the score. Graham then added the point to give the Tigers a 20-0 lead. Near the end of the third quarter alert LSU end Buck Alexander kidnapped Clyde Adams ' errant aerial on the State 34. LSU scored in five plays with Paul Rebsamen sneaking in, and taking the point to give the rampaging Tigers a 27-0 lead. The Tigers added misery to mortification in the final 20 seconds, when Larry King plucked a stray State lateral out of the hip-high zone and burst 87 yards for the final Tiger tally.

U. 13 ARKANSAS 7 WAR MEMORIAL STADIUM, Little Rock, Nov. 19 LSU and Arkansas nonchalantly played a waiting game for thirty minutes, but the Tigers came back to break ice in the second half and trim the favored Razor- backs, 13-7. Majorettes Ann Brown and Marie Campbell, sequin-clad for the Green Wave. Chico Gonzalez, Chuck Johns, and Bull Fer- guson led the way as the Bengals grabbed their third win of the season in a game featured by long runs and lengthy oohs and ahhs. Dietzel ' s fired-up footballers outgained the ' porkers on the ground by 235 yards to 65 yards. Main reason for the slack in the Pig running attack was the tremendous line play of big Earl Leggett, wary Joe Tuminello and Billy Smith, and cautious Paul Ziegler. Vince Gonzalez began making life a torture for the boys from Arkansas when he returned the second-half kickoff to his own 35-yard line. On the first scrimmage play. Johns slipped through right guard, was splattered by two big Porkers, but kept his equilibrium and darted 65 yards for the first LSU score. Graham converted and it was 7-0, Tigers. At the start of the fourth quarter the plucky Tigers paraded 74 yards in a dozen plays for their last score. Ferguson showed his preference for the guards by hitting over left guard this time and chugging 20 yards for the six-pointer. Graham missed his kick. Arkansas transformed her footballers from a bunch of mild Porkers to a herd of wild Hogs, as they stomped back with the kickoff for a touchdown. Ronnie Under- wood took in Billy Smith ' s kickoff on his own 12 and began to scoot. At the 35 he picked up two big Arkansas blockers and away he went in a beautiful 88-yard gallop. Walker converted for the Razorbacks. Wayland Roberts and Bill Fuller played best defen- sively for Arkansas. 332 The Rag borne up by Student Body President Frank Foil, and Morale Commissioner, Mike Schulz. L S. U. 13 TULANE 13 TIGER STADIUM. Nov. 26 The weary but wonderful Bengals, after trailing the Greenies 13-0 at halftime. returned to the field in the second half to sal- vage a tie from the ever encroaching Wave. While 60,000 bi-partisan fans sat with disbelief in their eyes, the Greenies converted a lousy Tiger punt and a fumble deep in Tiger territory,- into stunning scores. Ronnie Quillian. ex-Baton Rouge High School foot- baller, showed the hometown folks how a fullback should perform, when he ripped through die Tiger line from 18 yards out for the first Greenie score. Emmet Zelenka added the point after to give Tulane a first period lead of 7-0. The second Wave score followed Don Stinson ' s fum- ble on the LSU 21. Clever little Gene Newton, master- minding the Greenies from the quarterback slot, went in for tally number 2 on a cleverly executed keep play. Em- mett Zelenka ' s important placement attempt was blocked by Billy Smith, and the Wave led 13-0. The Bengals came back late in the second period to march 70 yards in 13 plays, with big Bull O. K. Fergu- son crashing over from the 1 for the score. Durwood Gra- ham added the point that would have made the difference, but the Tigers were found guilty of holding, and on a second try from the 1 7 yard line the kick was wide to give Tulane a halftime score of 13-6. LSU ' s game-tying score came in the fourth period after a punt slid off the side of Quillian ' s foot for a meager 12 yards up to the Greenie 49. The Tigers scored in five plays, with M. C. Reynolds pitching to Chuck Johns from 21 yards out. Vince Chico Gonzalez added the fateful point that gave the Fighting Tigers a 13-13 tie. GREAT EXPECTATIONS pregame warmups for the Greenies - $ , ; r 1956 BASKETBALL Troy Rushing and the big jump 334 Coach Harry Rabenhorst ' s Tiger basketballers start- ed the season on a sour note and ended it the same way. They dropped their first game to little Louisiana College 79-84 and their finale to Tulane, 68-81 and in the interim lost 15 other games while winning only 7. The Tigers ' SEC record was 5 wins and 9 losses. The cagers did manage to take on the consolation game of the Gator Bowl Tournament with a convincing win over the Georgia Bulldogs, 91-86. Their 91-90 win over Florida was a basketball dream! Another bright spot on the hardwood scene occurred when the Bengals reached the century mark, defeating Ole Miss, 100-76. While the season was not a storybook success, it did leave behind for the record books some very sparkling play by All-SEC forward Roger Sigler, guard Dom Merle, forward Troy Rushing and playmaker Don Sebastian. Sigler, versatile performer from Cleves, Ohio, led all SEC scorers with a per game average of 25.1 despite the fact that he missed the Tigers ' last four games. For his performance, Sigler was awarded a place along side other conference standouts like Alabama ' s Jerry Harper and Kentucky ' s Bob Burrow on the mythical SEC select- five. Sigler also led the Tigers in rebounds with a per game average of 13.8. Pressing Sigler for team honors were Merle, Rushing and Sebastian. Though displaying a dependable brand of ball all season, Merle really found himself late in the season and ROGER SIGLER DOM MERLE SEASON carried the brunt of the attack after Sigler was injured and forced from competition. A sophomore. Dom ended the season second to Sigler in scoring with a per game average of 13.6. Troy Rushing was third in scoring and second in re- bounds among Tiger cagers with 12.3 and 9.5 respective- ly per game. Rushing was particularly effective with his driving and floating layups. Don Sebastian. Baton Rouge ' s only contribution to the team and its only senior, was definitely the team ' s ballhawk and play-coordinator. His dribbling antics against Alabama and Florida were a pleasure to watch. His best shot, the semi-arched one-handed push, garnered him 1 1 .5 points per game, good for fourth place among Tiger scorers. Dick Holt, the Tiger tall man. never realized his potential but was a determined hustler all year and may yet develop into a A-l basketballer. Ably assisting the starting five throughout the season were forwards Ken Martin and Dick Bolton, guards Joe Fahey and Marty Kammer and center Joe Red White. Roy Vallery. the kid with the kangaroo legs, gave a good account of himself until an ankle injury put him out of commission. In the Louisiana College name, nothing less than a Minuet in G A big Billiken leaps and Roger Sigler gazes Ironically enough, the Bengals ' three best perform- ances of the season were in losing games. A hustling Tiger team came close to stunning a cocky Kentucky quint in the second game of the season when the Tigers scared the whiskers off the cats before losing 52-62 in the Ag Center. Later on, the Tigers came close to upsetting the touted Clemson club in the Gator Bowl tourney, but dropped a thriller, 95- 100. Playing without the terrific and prolific Sigler. a spoiler-minded Rabenhorst-crew came close to pulling one of the year ' s great upsets when they caught later-to-be SEC champ Alabama loafing on the job and nearly em- barrassed the Tide before going down. 59-77.

Tad Thrash, who fought his heart and body out while wearing the purple and gold of LSU as an under- graduate, returned to the scene of his many conquests in a new capacity. He stepped into the big shoes of former Tiger boxing coach J. T. Owen and led the batdin ' Bengals to a near-perfect 7-1-1 season, including a Sugar Bowl victory over Syracuse. Thrash and assistant coach Calvin Clary, both NCAA champions in the best possible sense of the word, took a squad of young and willing boxers and worked hard and long. The fact that the Bengals were minus Johnny Sublets. Crowe Peele. Andy Moo Moo Sciambra and Bobbv Pisarich didn ' t make the job any more feasible. But. Thrash was eager and Clarv intent, and the Bengals gave up only one dual meet, while meeting some of the best mittmen in the country. Gil McLane turned out to be LSU ' s golden boy as he boxed his way to a perfect season, nine wins and no losses. McLane ' s artful style earned him decisions over the cream of college boxers. He KO ' ed Houston ' s Don Sweenev in 26 seconds of the first round, one of the short- SiO ' s in LSU ring history. McLane also outpointed Nevada ' s Ted Coniri. Pacific coast champion and former NCAA runnerup. Bobby Soileau. out of Ville Platte, used his will-o- th ' -wisp stvle to combine a total of seven wins, a loss and a draw. The popular Soileau and his hard, chopping punches never failed to please the crowd. Bobby Freeman won his third Sugar Bowl crown but wound up the season with a so-so four-four mark, while huffing-puffing Johnny Dusenberry. the Tulsa whirlwind, managed to go two-two-two across die board. Dusen- berry didn ' t fight regularly but when he did it was alw.i v fast and furious.

Lefty Gil McLane punishes Pacific Coast champ and NCAA runner-up, Ted Contri of Nevada. 3 Bobby Soileau being comforted by some expert fight advice from Clary and Thrash Hopeful Listening To A Champ Gil McLane listens attentively and seems to be agreeing with Tad ' Thrash down in the Bengal practice room. Mac Buhler slams his man against the ropes A good little man and a good b: BOXING Mac Buhler was strictly a money boxer for the Tigers. His 4-3-2 record doesn ' t half tell the true story. Twice, against Nevada and Wisconsin, with the team score deadlocked Buhler came up with a win to enable the Tigers to take the dual match. His was a steady, con- sistent style of boxing. Baton Rouge ' s own Bill Clayton, Will Bill, had his best season so far. He won some good ones, lost some close ones, got robbed once and was by far the most determined fighter on the squad. He didn ' t pick his spots either, fighting such notables as Oklahoma ' s Dick Wall and Idaho State ' s former NCAA champ. Mike McMurtry. Cool and cautious Gary Bowden, always a competi- tor, turned in a competent 4-3-1 record. In one of the best battles seen at the Ag Center in quite a while, Bowden TKO ' ed the fabulous Dick Wall of Oklahoma, a rare feat as far as college boxers are concerned. The boy from Memphis was one of Thrash ' s best boxers. Milton, Louisiana ' s gift to the Tiger Thumpers came in the form of freshman Harold Hebert. This little Tiger didn ' t waste any time making a name for himself, winning seven, losing none and drawing once. Heavyweights didn ' t do so well. Doyle Spell fought once and lost while Jack Frayer took a crack at it one time and won. Buhler was sometimes called on for heavy- weight duties. Featherweight Dick Slaten wound up with a 1-3 record while Joe Thornton, at 132 pounds, fought once in the Sugar Bowl and lost. So went the story of a dozen LSU leather throwers and the man who stood behind them.

Dub Robinson, beginning his ninth season as head tennis mentor at the Old War Skule, found himself short on numbers, depth and experience in fielding a representative tennis aggregation. His Bengal netters had a hard time getting started and when they did, it wasn ' t always good enough to win. The season was a far cry from last year ' s record of five wins, six losses and a fourth place in the Southeastern Conference standings. Main reason for the team ' s rather weak showing was the loss of a trio of top netmen in Ronnie Fenasci, Hugh Baxley and Milton Walker, former number one man for the Tigers a few years back. Then too, Dave Rosenbaum didn ' t come through as expected. 342 JOHNNY HAMILTON Carrying the burden of a nine-match season were returning letter-men Buddy Tudor, Benton Preslar and Pat Scanlon.

The Tigers, under dean of SEC baseball coaches, Harry Rabenhorst, who ' ll be going into his twenty-ninth TOMMY BARFIELD year as baseball head coach, lost eight lettermen, seven regulars from last years ' club, and have only six return- ing lettermen. Those returning include three front-line pitchers, Tommy Barfield, Lenny Drude and Al Kling, and three infielders, first baseman-pitcher Roger Sigler, sccond-sacker Buddy Rogers, and shortstop Eddie Blanr- hard. To date, the Bengals have compiled a season record of three wins and five losses. Their SEC record is a pair of wins and a quartet of losses. Roger Sigler, magic name in basketball as well as baseball, has been the workhorse of the Tiger hurling staff, having appeared in four games and pitched 28 innings. He has a 3-0 record and an earned run average of 0.32. He struck out an even dozen while giving up only 14 hits. Through eight games, Gerald Hare leads Bengal batsmen with a total of nine hits in 30 times at bat for an even .300. Outfielder Don Hover is close behind with eight hits in 28 times at bat for a .286 clip. In third place is Roger Sigler with 7 hits in 26 times at the plate for an average of .269. 344 LEXXV DRUDE Roger Sieler and Coach Rabenhorst tall over game strategy A close play at second Hustle, Tiger, hustle! 345 R K Ready, Set, Go and Bobby Mack gets set to pace off the dash Sprinters Wayne Trieschmann, Bobby Mack and King Mott take off on a trial run THE 1956 SCHEDULE Date Event Site Mar. 24 Texas A M, Rice and LSU.

The LSU Cadet Corps is composed of an Army Regi- ment and an Air Force Wing. All first year ROTC students living on the campus are required to reside in cadet super- vised areas of the stadium which is commonly referred to by its occupants as the Rock. Cadets are assigned by squadrons and companies. Although the general objective of the ROTC is to produce junior officers who by their education, training, and inherent qualities will provide our armed forces with efficient, well trained officers, not all cadet corps activity is of a military nature. The extensive ROTC intramural athletic program and the two military balls are highlights of the non-military activities of the Corps. The Color Guard FIKST Row ; C Lt. Col. Bobby G. Blaylock, C Lt.

Bayonnet Practice 364 into the wild, blue yonder Summer camps are held each year for Army and Air Force ROTC Cadets who are entering their senior year. These camps are of six weeks duration for the Army and four weeks for the Air Force during which time the principles of leadership and teamwork are stressed to the maximum. The purpose of the camps is to give practical appli- cation to the theory learned during the academic years and to familiarize the cadet with the operation of a mili- tary establishment. At this time the c adets become familiar with al! types of weapons by firing them: vehicles and aircraft by riding in them : and tactics and techniques of lighting by practicing them.

The Mcllhenny ' s of Avery Island supplied our egrets and tabasco, while Al Wooley covered Mardi Gras. Also, the Morning Advocate and State Times let us rummag through their negative files, and the Louisiana Department of Highways contributed a construction shot. The coverage of ROTC summerlcamps is a result of the cooperation of Harlingen and Kelly Air Force Bases and Fort Hood. In connection with the Gumbo Ball, we want to thank the inimitable Gene Quaw for the Moonlight and Magnolias extravaganza; Frank Foil for MCing the preliminary judging; Penny ' s and Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority for loaning us props in the staging of the preliminaries. Last, but not least, we say Merci to our engravers and publishers for their ever-enduring patience. And now, mes amis, c ' est fini.
