Attakapas! A little better than Avatar! HE ATTAKAPAS LITERARY SOCIETY, the rival and companion of the Avatar, was the first society oroanized at S. L. I. I. It was launched in 1901 by a set of the iiiost earliest and studious boys and irls in the school, who put forth vigorous efforts to make it a success, and they did so. It was named Attakapas in honor of this section of Louisiana. Some time after the Avatar Society was oroanized it was de- cided to make of the Attakapas an exclusively boys ' society, and of the Avatai- a irls ' society, and this worked very well for the time, but public sentiment seemed to favor having the membership mixed in both societies, and in the following year the old status was restored. The Attakapas has always had a large membership and has taken a very active interest in the annual debates, winning the Julian iMouton gold medal as many times, if not more, than tlie Avatar. It also has interesting plays, I ' eadings and nnisic on its programs, and drills its members in parliamentary rules. It keeps awake the social element in the .school, and constantly improves the spirit of study and investigation among its members. The historian of the next generation will relate how some of the greatest men and women of the day got their start toward greatness through having in their youth b( en members of the Attakapas Society of S.

Wilson —26- L A c a d i e n Historical Sketch of the Avatar Literary Society HE word avatar, from Hindu iiiythology, means the incarnation of a spirit in some nuiteria] form, and the Society was so named to indicate that its organization was to be itself an embodiment of the spirit of educa- tion and jirogress — an avatar of intelligence and culture. So far as we know, no other society has over had this name, so we may claim its copyright. The Avatar Literary Society was organized in 1902 and has always had a goodly number of members, running along hand in hand with its sister society, the Attakapas. In its first year the annual debating contest with the Attakapas began to be held, for the Julian ] Iouton gold medal. This medal is given each year for the best individual debater of the two societies, and the Avatar has fairly divided the honors of winning it with its rival during the ten years of their lii.story. During that time nearly all the great questions of law and goverinnent, public policy, .sociology, history, philosophy and ethics, have been analyzed, di.scussed and illuminated, if not finally settled, by prominent members of the Avatar Society. And we have also had tine pi-ograms of music. literat;ire and histrionics, as well as practice in parliamentary j)rocedure. Later on, when we become members of the Legislature or of Congress, or perhaps militant .suffragettes, we shall doubtless have occasion to show the valuable training and experience we had in the Avatar liiterarv Societv at dear old S.

A lack of experienced men and the sudden changing fi ' oin high school to college games accounts largely for the apparently poor showing made by our gridiron heroes. The i().ss of Coley and the ' incents was keenly felt and their places were filled with inexperienced players. The showing made against the L. S. U. team, state champions, which was held to a 42-0 seoi-e and a week later against Tidane. which scored only 27 points in a longer game, caused fond hopes to rise for a successful season. Louisiana College shattered these expectations when we were given the short end of the score in a 9-0 contest at home. Later w e relieved the sting of defeat by holding them to a no- score game in Pineville. This was the best-played game of the season. Louisiana College having the ball on the six-yard line with first down and beinu ' thi-own for a loss of four yarcLs in the three vain efforts to put the ball over. The latter part of the game the ball v as in our enemy ' s territory continually, and after the game two of their backs had to be helped to the dress- ing room, so fierce were the attacks of our boys. The triumph of the season was the Thanksgiving game, when we took State Normal into camp to the tune of 31-5. The last game of the season was lost to a weaker team when, with Bei ' cegeay, Bourque ajid Williams on the side line, we held Jef- ferson College o-lL Our hopes for next year run high, and with our indomita- ble Bercegeay leading the team and a good supply of material developed by our Scrubs the past season, we feel sure that the scores of 1912 will be such that any school may feel proud to call theirs. —35— Track Squad (i.

Smaller meetinjis, are held frequently during the session and nuieh good work is being done. Our alumni are all si;ceeeding in their chosen profevssions : we have members in eveiy walk of life and each is a credit to his Alma VFatcr. As in all thin i ' s human, however, time does X the year 1903 tlie Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute opened its doors and .serit out into the world its fir.st cla.ss of graduates. This liandful of boys and girls, caii r to do anything in their power t ])n)- mote the welfare of their beloved Alma Mater, banded themselves together into an oi ' ganization which they named the Southwestern Louisiana In- du.strial Institute Alunuii A.ssociation. ] Ir. Pothier Voorhies was chosen as its first president. All graduates of any of the courses offered at the Institute were eligible for membership, and in a few years the handful had become a hundred : and now that the A.ssociation is in tlie ninth year of its exi.stencc the roll has been ino ' eascd until it contains sevei-al hundred names. The Alumni is a live body as can readily be seen by the enthusiastic meetinsis which are iield yearly. These meetings are attended by alunnii from all over the state, and are fol- not pa.ss witliout bringing us sorrow, (irim death has walki d among.sT us and cai-ried into the gi-eat beyond some of mv most pi ' omising alumni, but we bow before the decrees of the All- Wise, and thauU Ilim for having given us the chance to know these spk ndid boys and girls. The Alumni Scholarship Fuiul was started about two years aiio and is made up of voluntary contril)utions. The 43- MR.

The cause is a worthy one and tiood work has been done so far. The Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute Alumni .stands ready to act as a bodyguard to its Alma Plater — it is ready to defend her honor, uphold her reputation, and do all that it can to promote her welfare. The Institute is dear to the heart of all her graduates, who echo at all times this simple l)iit loyal wish : Lon!i may .she live and prosper !

The pur- suit of wealth is not only ligitimate but a duty, because there can be no appreciable social progress without wealth. And if a man be a man and his fortune be honestly won and applied, it will but increase his usefulness and multiply his power for doing good to his fellow man. And the lessons of self denial learned and the habits of thrift and economy he must form in his efforts to accumulate money beyond his own immediate need, do inevitably tend to develop and strengthen his character in good directions. :-: :-: :-: :-: :-: Officers N. p.
