Page Twenty-Eight fi The Winds As Oracles H, voice of the winds give answer ; you who are passing to and fro, Foretell the fate of ' 23 ' s class, I ' m sure that you will know. What will the future bring to each one? Winds of the world declare. The north wind blew in answer, his voice resounding loud and clear : The class of ' 23 will go forth to face the trials of life With hearts courageous to meet attacks of envy, hate, and strife. The battle may be hard to win, the race may be hard to run ; But by the strength of their high resolves Victory will be won. So for each member of this class I would now prophesy They ' ll meet whatever fate may come, with courage to do or die. The gentle South Wind whispered low in a voice from far above : And I would prophesy for each a great and most abiding love. Love for each person they meet on the way, love for their fellow-men, Returning in bounty a hundred-fold to everyone of them. The East Wind then gave answer ; it seemed to chuckle with mirth : Ah, whee ! This class of ' 23 will bring a little more fun to the earth. I foretell they ' ll always find time to joke, always time to chaff ; No matter how hard tasks may be, there ' ll always be time to laugh. Ah, yes ! I ' ll prophesy for them, and I know I ' m right to say They ' ll know in their lives just how to mix with work a little play. The West Wind, who was passing, spoke with a sweet perfumed breath: I prophesy for everyone a boundless, deep, and sincere faith ; One that is great and grand enough, to offset Death ' s fierce sting; One that can move mountains, and peace to hearts most surely bring. Then the voices of the winds all ceased and a hush fell slowly down ; The prophesies echoed from the hills as the winds all settled ' round. Courage and Love, Mirth and Faith and then Victory n ' er could they miss. Voice of the Winds, God grant you ' re right; what more could men want than this? — Inez Neyland. n n n n Pago Twenty-Nine Last Will and Testament of The Pioneers ' of 23 ' E it understood that we, the Pioneers of Southwestern Louis- iana Institute of Liberal and Technical Learning, in the metrop- olis of Lafayette, Louisiana, being sound of body and spasmodic of oblongata, do make our last will and testament in the manner following, to-wat: To Carl Perkins, Peanut Jones leaves his Baylor debate. To Cecil Lovell, Earl Resweber leaves his dashing way with the ladies. To Geneva Prater, 1 Neyland leaves her pull with the Faculty and Librarian. To Agnes Comeaux, Mrs. Griffin leaves her consuming interest in English novels, especially those of Henry James. To Margaret Firnberg, Eve Mouton leaves her fiendish temper and frisky walk. To Ralph Lyon, Del Theriot leaves her perfection in the arts of chewing gum and lip reading. To Clay Dalferes, Red Morris leaves his athletic propensities and cast-iron grin.

I wish to say. however, that under no condition Can I afford to take your free-lance proposition. I shall begin to-morrow to turn the matter out. The copy will be ready by April 10th about. Material of this nature should not be rushed unduly. Thanking you for your favor, I am yours very truly. He took it down in shorthand with apparent ease and grace Miss Crigler says to us, He ' ll hold down any place. The Remington he tackled, we thought he went too slow. And after thirty minutes, he brought this in to show. Deer S ir: I have the feever and before I die will state That I except the offer as it is just too late; I want to say however that with the right condition I shall be glad to take the free lunch preposition. I shall be in tomorrow to turn your mother out. The cop is big and hard and is some awful stout. Material of this Nation should not be touched by Dooley Thinking you have the feever, I am yours very truly. Adieu! For many months we ' ve dwelt together. And shared in love, each other ' s pain; A brother band with one dear mother. We ' ve toiled through days of sun and rain. All brave and strong we ' ve tried to be. Though grave our faults have often been; As trifles now the griefs do seem. Only a shower of summer rain. Of you, our friend, who kindly bore The brunt of all our pranks so jolly. Forgiveness now we each implore; The paths of youth are hedged with folly. And now on thee, our dearest friend, Our parting blessings we bestow; May Red and Wliite float to the end. As through these hearts life ' s tides do flow Ne ' er from this loyal band may one Bring any shame on thy fair face; But rather may each loving one On thy dear brow a garland place.

Page Fifty-Seven n n n n n n Literary Why The Mississippi Murmurs (By INEZ NEYLAND) Long years ago, (so runs a legend) In this our land of Louisiana, There dwelt a powerful tribe of Indians. Great and fierce were they in battle. Fighting much and fearing nothing, Nothing but the river Mississippi Which passed their wigwams slow and soundless, Never, singing like the oak trees. Which, hung with moss and passion flowers. Threw their shadows, flcked with sunshine Down upon the grassbeneath them; But moving onward towards the ocean Without a sound and never pausing, It seemed to be an evil spirit. Waiting, watching to destroy them. In this village dwelt a maiden, Maunawova, good and helpful, Her voice was like the birds ' sweet singing, Her voice was like the sound of music; And all the people knew and loved her. Many braves went to her wigwam, Told her how they loved her greatly. Sought to win her by brave actions, But she shook her head in answer. Would not listen to their pleadings. But this child of love and laughter Was it seemed, at all times, ready To do for anyone a service. She helped the women with their babies. Told them tales of bears and spirits; Their childish hearts were hers. Then when the maize was ripe and ready. She helped them gather it and crush. Still to the wooing of a lover. She never seemed to care to listen. One day among them came a stranger Strong and tall and full of wisdom; I am Ishgiwana, said he, And I ' ve come to you, my brothers. From the land of the Great spirit; Come to teach you words of wisdom. So this stranger, Ishgiwana, Stayed among them to instruct them. Taught them better ways of hunting. Made them better spears and arrows; But when they questioned him at evening, Asked him for his source of wisdom. Warned he, all of them, in this way, Seek not to find out, my brothers. Whence comes to me all my learning, Enter not within my wigwam. To seek out my source of wisdom. For cruel death will come to that one Who thus disobeys my mandate. Then, too, I will have to leave you. Thus in peace they dwelt and prospered. Listening, heeding all his teachings. Nor did they wish to disobey him. Yet one day the braves departed All to hunt the deer and bison Which roamed and wandered on the prairies ; And Ishgiwana was amongst them. When three moons had marked their passing. The Evil Spirit sent a fever Down upon the Great Chief ' s baby. And all the women ' s herbs and grasses Did not serve to cure or quiet it. Page Sixty n n n 4 n n Then did they wish for Ishgiwana, For they knew his source ot wisdom Would show him how to kill the fever, Drive the evil spirit from the baby, But no one dared to search his wigwam For the fear of death was on them. Finally, as the life ebbed slowly And the baby ' s breath grew faint and fainter, Maunawova left the bed side, Entered Ishgiwana ' s wigwam. Searched, and found the source of wisdom, Learned from it the cure for fever, And brought it to the saddened mother. But as she passed the sullen river, Going homeward, sad at disobeying, Many watchers saw the water Rise and carry Maunawova Far away upon its bosom. Out upon the level prairies, Ishgiwana knew that in his absence Someone had betrayed his secret. Someone disobeyed his mandate; So, he called the braves together. Told them he was forced to leave them Never to return among them; Hade them hurry home without him. Thus, while speaking slow and solemn. Disappeared he from among them. When they reached their homes in sorrow, Told the squaws of his departure, And heard how Maunawova only Saved the babe by disobeying, And how the waters liad destroyed her; Then they wept and mourned together. But, ever since (so runs the legend) The Mississippi ' s mighty waters Which had passed so slow and soundless Seeming sullen and relentless Sang and gurgled in the sunshine Like a human voice and laughter Like the voice of the Maunawova. So, as on its banks at evening, Indian mothers told the story. You could hear them softly saying, Hush, my child, and let us hearken In the lisping tilt of waters To the voice of Maunawova, Who gave her own life for a baby ' s. Page Sixty-One n n n n n n n H n An Inspiration (By JESSIE POST) LADYS was a dreamy, imaginative sort of person, though you wouldn ' t have thought so to look at her. Sometimes she would sit for hours with her Rhetoric book on her lap, and her room- mates didn ' t know but that she was studying when in reality her mind was miles away. She would be walking in that dream world of hers where she herself was always the heroine. One of her pet fancies was that she was a great writer. She could imagine herself composing wonderful stories. She could picture herself on a higher plane gazing down to see the world shouting its praises of her. As I said before, Gladys was a very imaginative girl. But if she at times lived in a dream world, she also at other times lived in a real world. If she imagined herself a great personage, she also worked with all her might and main to attain her ambition. She was that way about her Rhetoric, because she said to herself, If I make good now, I may gradually climb up until I am able to write real ' sure enough ' stories. One day as she was going to a class in Public School Drawing, she was stopped by a Junior who asked her to write something for L ' Acadien. You know, just anything to represent the Freshies, she was told. Being the girl she was, of course, Gladys was thrilled at the idea that anything she could write would be put in the Annual. She was to represent the Fresh- man class. Eager to start work, she prepared that very afternoon to begin writing her composition. I guess I ' d better sharpen two or three pencils, because when I start writing, I won ' t want to stop to sharpen a pencil, and maybe I ' d better get a new tablet. These were obtained, so she turned on the light and sat down to work. But here is where the tragedy comes in. Her usually fertile brain just absolutely refused to work and she could not think of a single thing! It seemed that it wasn ' t so easy to write just anything after all. She chewed off the eraser of one of her pencils, but that didn ' t do any good. Then she decided that if she went up to the attic, maybe she ' d be able to think better ; so up she went. But still matters were not helped any, and her tablet remained as clear as it had been when Mr, Mac handed it to her. Page Sixty-Two n n n n ri It was a desperate situation, dinner bell, then gave it up. could not miss her dinner. She stayed up in the attic until she heard the Whatever happened or failed to happen she The next afternoon she decided that she would go to the library. Surely, she could get an inspiration there! But apparently she was doomed. Not one hint of anything usable could she find. It was the same old story, only worse. This matter went for several days until Thursday in assembly when Bateman Harrell announced that all L ' Acadien material positively had to be in by Friday noon. However, she was secretly informed that if she handed in her story by Monday noon, it would be alright. Still she could think of nothing that would do for the Annual. Sunday night at twenty minutes of twelve, she awoke with a start. She almost gave a yell. She had an inspiration. She would write of her trials and tribulations in trying to find something to write about. She felt around in the dark for her pencil and tablet and crept softly down to the work-room. It did not take her long to get started, and she wrote rapidly for three hours. That done, she began sleepily to climb the stairs, but it seemed that her trials were not yet over. Whom should she meet but — Miss Levy! Where are you going at this time of night? To bed, answered Gladys as she fled the room. Dat Cajan Crew! So far as for me younknow i don care but all de same i don see hoccum dose betes at de institute gotta go choose a name like dat, me I Gawd ! but day mak me mad yes. Go call deyself de cajan crew — fo wat dey do dat hien?

Why in the world did he write the Aeneid? But, suddenly, as she was looking at the printed page, trying to make out words she could not understand, it widened and spread out. She looked, but could not make out clearly what she saw. Where am I? cried little Mary. She listened and she heard someone speaking; yes, they ivo-e speaking that hated language, Latin — but strangest of all, she understood every word of it. She looked around her and felt insignificant in her gingham school dress, for she was now in a wonde rful room, heavily carpeted, beautifully curtained, and marvelously furnished. At one end of the room she saw the lovely Juno herself. Her golden hair was streaming down her back, and she gazed at Mary with eyes the color of the sky. Why this was the throne room, for Jupiter was sitting near Juno, just as she had always pictured him. Oh, I hate Latin. Why did I ever come here? exclaimed Mary. Hush, hush, she heard someone say near her back; don ' t you see you are in the presence of the Gods She looked around and saw a Roman slave coming up to her, dressed just as she had always seen their pictures. I don ' t believe there are any such things as dieties; I was always told that they were only myths, answered the stubborn Mary. You are entirely mistaken for this is Mars, the home of the gods, Roman heroes, and great men since they left Olympus, answered the slave. At once she began to wander around this strange place. The first person she met was Helen of Troy. How beautiful she is! I wonder if she would speak to me, thought Mary. As she approached, Helen spoke to her as a familiar friend and again she lost herself in interest, listening to the stories of the conquests of Troy. Soon she left Helen, for she saw Aeneas and wished to speak to him. He seemed happy, for he had gained great glory from his heroic deeds on earth. Mary stopped but a very few minutes to speak to him for she saw an interesting group. She joined them and immediately recognized Dido, Venus, Iris, and Mercury surrounded by many other gods and goddesses. Dido had been forgiven for the terrible sin committed in her madness on earth and was dwelling with her beloved goddess, Venus. Mary wandered on and on in this delightful place, thinking she could enjoy living here always, until she met an old grey-haired man. He was bent with age and walked with a cane. As she advanced, he addressed her in a very creaky voice, pointing his finger at her : You are the girl who makes me say things I never said. You make Dido the messenger of the Gods, Laocoon and the twin serpents his friends. You shall be punished Page Sixty-Four r n n for this. This was Virgil speaking and Mary grew very frightened, but she knew that she must obey so she quietly followed him. He led her into the throne room again where Juno and Jupiter presided for the trial. Jupiter, looking very dignified, stood up and pronounced the sentence, In the name of the gods, you shall stay thirty days in a dungeon, eating only bread and water. A slave appeared to take the pale-faced Mary to the appointed place. Chains were put on her hands and she was led out by him. Juno felt great compassion for this poor little girl and followed them until they were far from the court room. When they had gone far enough, she caught up with them and told the slave to go back as she would lead the girl to the dungeon. As soon as the guard was out of sight, she said, Mary, do you see that crack in the ground? Hurry to it and then step down and you may return to your earthly home. Mary did as she was told and as she stepped in the crack, it opened wider and she fell and fell. Would she ever stop falling? Bump! Mary hit her head on the chair. She had fallen asleep while studying her Latin. How glad she was that all of this was not true ! DISCONTENTED (By PORTIA FUNDERBERG) Discontented? And you ' re weary with this ivorld and all its tvays, All its trials and its troubles, and its many nights and days; With life ' s battles yet unconquered, and the ivorry and the strife, Of the coming years before you, in this game of ours, called Life. Discontented, and you feel in all this world you are alone, Though with people all about you, there are none to call your own; No one really understands you, you ' re a misfit in your place; And you somehow wouldn ' t worry, if you dropped out of the race. Discontented, yes and weary, just a trifle jealous too. Of the pleasures given others, that were never meant for you; Tired out with ceaseless longing for the things that cannot be, Never stopping once to ponder on life ' s beauties that you see. Oh, when you ' re in such a humor, and life ' s scarcely worth a smile, Push aside your troubles, and let fancy guide you for aivhile; Just pretend in life ' s great book that you are actiyig a part. Would your actions and examples cheer a weary reader ' s heart? Would your book of life be chosen from the many in God ' s store. To be read by those who, weary, struggle on forevermore? Sometime every book is finished, sometime every race is run; Would you drop out weary-hearted, ' fore your book of life ' s half done? Don ' t give up, the world is ours; discontent is but a cloud. That attempts to hide the sunshine, and life ' s joys and beauties shroud; Just remember as you journey, that you ' re part of God ' s great plan. And by simply being cheerful, you are serving God and Man! Page Sixty-Five m n n n n n n n H One Who Knows If you ' ve ever made Southwestern your home. And think that from her you ' d love to roam ; If you wish to labor in other schools, And try your hand at other tools ; If you think this place too long you ' ve tried, And believe you are getting dissatisfied; If you want to try ' em all Just go slow, don ' t heed temptation, Discard all your woes, And take the advice, Of one who knows. There are other schools, yes, I ' ll admit, But none for which Southwestern I ' d quit. They are all very well for freshies new, But if you ' ve ever been of Southwestern ' s crew. And helped the Attakappas through bitter wars. Or labored with the Avatars, Or helped coach the Dramatic Club, Or been in on the Pep, Oh! there ' s the rub! Well, live it all hard and fight its foes. Take the advice of one who knows. All the best of faculties, teams, pep and fight. Just who would you guess? Why Southwestern, that ' s right! I want to be back at Southwestern again. With all my teachers and all my friends, For I ' ve been away from it, not very long. But it seems an age and surely seems wrong. If I could, right now back I ' d go. And crave admittance from Doc at the door. And having arrived. It would end all my woes. This is an opinion, of one who knows. — Anonymous, a last year Southwestern student. vf vgi The Return Some day we shall come back along this way. And see again the places of our love: The buildings with their well remembered rooms Lifting thei r noble heads to skies above; The campus with strange sights perhaps will glow. Perhaps there ' ll be not one that we have known, Perhaps no voice call out a greeting there To us, who have in years much older grown. For old Southwestei ' n in the race of life With rapid Time must e ' er keep up the pace, So we may find no old familiar friend Nor meet the cheer of one familiar face. But friend of mine, fear not, time cannot change The heart and spirit of old S. L. I., Which only grows the more, as years go by. — Inez Neyland.

J. Davidson, Jr. One of the many instances of Southwestern ' s growth and progress along scholastic lines is the Tau Alpha Chi Fraternity, organized in 1922 by Mr. Johnston. It is an honorary organization for boys only, consisting of all those students of sophomore rank or above who have made a general average of B for at least two successive semesters. The members have thrown themselves into the work with vim, and we hope soon to become a chapter of a national fraternity and thus secure a wider recognition of our work. In addition to the work of promoting the interests of our organization, which is concerned chiefly with scholarship, we enjoyed a number of social affairs.

Many a month has come and gone, Many the year has rolled by Since I as a Senior with Dip. under arm. Left the folds of old S. L. I. But tonight as I sit here thinking And dreaming of days long past. Days that to me are a golden Memory ever to last ; Though I ' m old, now ' most grey, And have had lots of fun, Of all my years I remember one Distinctly: ' 23 at Southwestern. The canteen corner : I see the crowd At mail time waiting there Each expecting something. No one ever dare Leave for class ' till second bell has rung. Very often by a shower descending from above Out the laboratory window Was a charming lady-love And her gallant drowned. ' Twas a corner, though, of romance ; And many a one begun At that very canteen corner While hanging out for fun. ' Twas there that Nig met Goldie, That Harry saw Irene, That Perk made eyes at Thelma. The best I ' ve ever seen, Though, was the hush and rush and scramble Of the crowd collected there As just around the corner Came Miss Levy ' s bright blonde hair. Could I e ' er forget society, The closed debates and all. Could I but forget my campusments ! No matter what some call It, it was hard to miss a ball game Or a program for one night. Page One Hundred Four SXoL OEmrjr Pep ' s the word for Sou ' western : Those foot-ball games ! 0, My ! how we ' d yell and shout and sing For a touchdown from you, S. L. I.! With Max on the ball, Bill at guard, Tut making end runs, it was mighty hard — IJ On a visiting team. In baseball Tom Cambre starred When it came to hitting. But Wallace was hard To beat as a pitcher. Stunt night was great. ' Twas the very first time We had had one, But all turned out fine. Frank and his magic was splendid to me, But the judges rather P. D. E. So they got the candy. The Colonial Ball was as a dream, Nothing exactly as it seemed. But a whir and stir of gaiety From beginning to end. Colonial ladies and gallant gentlemen Danced until dawn. While the real gallant gentlemen Demurely looked on. Girard Hall was opened that year , And though many held old Martin Hall dear, All wanted to move — even Miss Dupre. Commencement time is always fun. VHI Gee! I wish someone would come So ' s I could talk about Southwestern; I ' m about to pop Right now : I have to stop And dry my tears. But if e ' er you ' re sad and lonely, The whole world ' s just gone wrong. You ' d love to go to some place where There ' s laughter, love and song. Of all the spots in this whole world 41 I know where you ' ll find the best one : Pack your duds and go along To school at old Sou ' western. — Elizabeth Lyman Page One Hundred Five A Freshman ' s Diary Swiped From Her Before Completion For This Purpose Sept. 11 — Came this morning — think I ' ll go home tomorrow.

Page One Hundred Ten n n n n o4 Page One Hundred Eleven n n n n n n n n n n n n n HEN the football season of 1922 opened on September 13, there was a large squad out for practice, including 13 letter men, veterans of past seasons. The material for a championship team seemed to be ours, but fate had decreed otherwise. Due to an unusual run of hard luck, including the breaking of the leg of our veteran half-back, Frank Rickey, and a similar mis- fortune to our fighting Bull Pup, Harry Thomas, we had to see the cham- pionship slip from our grasp. To take our season from a standpoint of games won and lost would not be doing ourselves and our team full justice, and would be overlooking the best part of football : The wonderful morale and fighting spirit of the Bulldogs. On the opening day. Coach T. R. Mobley gave the squad a talk of welcome and good fellowship, and it was due to his untiring efforts and invincible spirit that Southwestern was able to take a green squad and whip it into a machine that could tie the score with a team whose sources of material are inexhaustible and who outweighed us twenty pounds to the man. Those who ably assisted Coach Mobley in training the Bulldogs were Coaches Hughes, Johnston and Bolyard. The first game of the season was played with Patterson High School. It was a tryout game for the Bulldogs in which almost every man on the team was given a chance to show his ability. The Patterson team proved to be hard fighters, even though they never once threatened Southwestern ' s goal line. The final score stood 42-0 in our favor. The following Saturday the Southwestern eleven journeyed to Convent, La., where they met the strong Jefferson College aggregation in a hard- fought gridiron battle. Both teams were determined to keep the other from nosing the ball too close to the goal lines, and though the Bulldogs were within striking distance several times, they seemed to lack the punch to carry the pigskin across, the game coming to a close with the only scoreless tie of the season. Next came the Tulane Freshmen to meet the onrushing wave of red, and were swamped to the tune of 31-6. The game was fast and snappy n n n n n n n Page One Hundred Thirteen SXX Bgg from start to finish, both teams showing a great deal of spirit, having a dry field and a beautiful day. The Freshmen proved themselves good sportsmen and good football men, but they were far outclassed in speed and endurance, the Little Billows becoming only Ripples after the Bulldogs had waded through. The next was the most spectacular game of the season and one of the hardest fought grid battles ever played on our campus. The Loyola Wolves came to Lafayette with an undefeated record for the season and were filled with confidence. The game was one of intense interest from whistle to whistle, each side battling desperately for each yard won. The Bulldogs really showed in this game what Southwestern meant, as they fought against great odds in holding the Crescent City team to a 9-9 tie. The only event in the whole game to which we may look back with sadness was the breaking, during the third period, of Frank Rickey ' s leg. Frank was probably our best half-back in many respects, and this meant a great loss to the team; but in spit of this loss, it plugged ahead and made a wonderful showing. Frank showed himself a man in the hospital, just as he had on the field. The game with Louisiana College was a surprise to everyone, even though all old football men know the breaks of the game. The Wildcats proved to be full grown panthers, and not the mere kittens they have sometime been called. This was proven when they beat the Bulldogs by the narrow margin of 7-0. The Bulldogs next invaded Bay St. Louis, Miss., to get a few sand- burrs in their collection of trophies. The game was slowed up by the extreme warmth of the weather, but was made particularly interesting by the heavy line plunging of the Bulldogs. St. Stanislaus had a good football team — but better than that, a clean crowd of boys who could take their 14-0 defeat with cheerful faces. The game with the Louisiana State Freshmen at Baton Rouge was hard fought by both sides, the goal line being threatened repeatedly by both sides, but it fell to the lot of the Freshmen to put the pigskin across for the only score of the game. Spring Hill was the next team to meet Southwestern, and came to Lafayette on the Saturday after the Louisiana Freshmen game. This was one of the most brilliant games the Bulldogs ever played, in spite of the fact that they were defeated by the small margin of 13-12. The field was extremely wet and muddy; but, nevertheless. Southwestern scored in the first minute of play, giving the visitors quite a surprise as they expected Page One Hundred Fourteen n U n n f n n us to be easy meat for them. From that point to the last whistle, the game was fought all over the field, one side making about as much progress as the other, using line plunges almost entirely although both teams executed several beautiful forward passes. The ball was lost repeatedly by both teams, owing to the wet condition of the field. The final whistle blew with the score one point in favor of Spring Hill. The game was of the highest order from the standpoint of good sportsmanship and clean athletics. On Turkey Day the last game of the season was played in Natchitoches where Southwestern met her ancient rival, Louisiana State Normal. The game was hard fought and clean throughout the battle. Although the Bulldogs battled every inch of the way, they lost, the final score being 13-6. The Bullpups also proved themselves formidable rivals, romping about as pups will, and like young Bulldogs doing considerable damage to the pride of their neighbors, the surrounding high schools. The credit for arranging such a varied and extensive schedule belongs to Athletic Director McNaspy, who scheduled the games for the Bulldogs. To close without mentioning another outstanding figure would be an injustice to Captain Jim Morris, the man who was a real leader to the boys and who was always on the job side by side with Coach Mobley to carry out his instructions and help make football history. Page One Hundred Fifteen n n n n n r n n n n n n n n No one will doubt that the basketball team of this season was the best aggregation that ever played under Southwestern ' s colors. That was to be expected, for everything about this school is day by day in every way getting better and better , as Doc Coue would say. Our team has an enviable record and even though it did not win the L. I. A. A. championship, the Bulldogs played a class of ball that proved them to be a good team. Among the achievements of this team were : the overwhelming defeat of the Y. M. G. C, one of the best teams in the New Orleans Commercial League, in Lafayette and also in New Orleans; an even break with Springhill, one of the strongest collegiate teams in the South ; the winning of a doubleheader played against St. Stanislaus on the Rock-a-Chaws own court; and the scoring of twice as many points as its opponents. Eleven men were awarded letters and eight of these were freshmen. This shows what a task Coach Mobley had in whipping together a team of men that had never played together before, and the teams ' success shows how well Coach performed his duty. Much credit for the team ' s excellent record is due to Captain Goat (Arthur) Bresie who played well, fought hard, and set a good example to his men. Tut (Edwin) Richardson was elected captain for next year, and we feel assured that he will lead his team in proper fashion, for Tut played first-class basketball this season ; in fact, he led the team in scoring. It is our wish that his team of ' 24 may follow in the footsteps of the team of ' 23. n n n ni Page One Hundred Seventeen 13 CS •B to CO M 3 C « . o CIS S .Ho pt; . B . . c o o a oo Page One Hundred Eighteen n n n n n WE Southwesterners have just cause to be proud of the team which represented us in baseball. The dopesters claim that it is the best aggregation of ball-tossers that Southwestern has ever had, and there is a great deal of truth in that. The Bulldogs played fourteen games, lost three, tied one, and won ten. A more extensive season was planned for them, but several of the colleges on our schedule could not complete plans for the trips. The out- standing features of the baseball season were : the double defeat of Crow- ley ' s semi-professional team, which is rated as the best in Southwest Louisiana; winning four of the five games on the up-state trip; and the last game played with Normal which furnished more thrills than an aero- plane ride. In the ninth inning (this is not fiction), with two men out and Normal one score ahead, Wallace Dugas, our speed ball hurler from the Teche country, gave the ball a Babe Ruth blow and tied the score. In the same inning Richardson garnered a four-base hit, thus giving us another victory over our arch rival, Normal. Here is the record of the 1923 Bulldogs, may the team of ' 24 better it : St. Peter ' s College 1 Louisiana College 2 Louisiana College 6 Maurice 3 Crowley 2 Normal 6 Louisiana College 5 Louisiana College 1 Normal 7 Normal 3 Normal 5 Maurice 3 Crowley 1 Crowley 1 Totals, 45 S.

I felt that some- thing important was about to happen from the manner in which my tracks were scraped and rolled, but I did not suspect that I was to have the honor of seeing the L. I. A. A. championship decided. Of course, I expected Southwestern ' s Bulldogs to win, as they did, for who knows better than I the ability of her jumpers and the fleetness of her runners, and had I not seen them completely outclass the Opelousas High team and the stars of St. Mary Parish only a short time before? It is rumored that I am no longer to exist and that a new athletic field will be constructed to take my place, but it cannot take my prestige from me. I have felt the hard cleats of football men, the pointed spikes of the baseball and track men, the soft rubber soles of the basketball teams, and I have been the training ground for Southwestern ' s sturdy athletes since athletics has been initiated into her curriculum. I have seen them defeat L. S. U. in baseball, swamp the La. Poly, team by a score of 59-0 at football, and now the best of all I have seen my boys, Southwestern Bulldogs , win the L. I. A. A. championship. I am filled with joy that the last athletic event which I shall witness has given Southwestern another championship team. My farewell message is the wish that S. L. I. will have as much success on the new field as she has had on me, and my adieu is : Godspeed to all Southwestern Bulldogs. Page One Hundred Twenty-One id n n n n n V n L. 1. A. A.

The final score in points was as follows : Southwestern 68 points Louisiana College 25 points State Normal 19 points Thus ends one of the most successful years in Ole Sou ' western ' s athletic history, and she can say with pride that she has put on the field the best track team ever assembled in Southwest Louisiana. Page One Hundred Twenty-Two Volley Ball Volley ball is also a new sport at Southwestern. It is considered the most perfect form of exercise, in its general effects, of all the sports. There were two teams and match games were played at each meeting. Captain Lowden ' s team came out ahead in the number of games won.

Hikes are taken to places of interest in and around Lafayette. Many of these trips are educational as well as pleasurable. The Club has so far progressed in its hiking ability that it has walked to nearby towns, such as Scott and Broussard, returning in transfers. The girls enjoy their walks and are planning on ending their hiking season by giving a big picnic at Chargois Springs or at Beausejour. This may truly be said to have been one of the most successful and enjoyable of the sports offered at Southwestern this year. n 5? n n n n n AESTHETIC DANCING The Aesthetic dancing class, consisting of fifty girls, under the super- vision of Miss Joyce Hartzell, has made rapid progress in its work. Pro- grams have been presented at assembly, at Literary Society and at special performances. Members of the class have also assisted at benefit programs at the Jefi ' erson Theatre and other places. One very pretty and impressive pantomine, The Three Wise Men, was rendered at the Christmas program of the S-4 Club. At the Colonial Ball given under the auspices of the Women ' s Athletic Association a delightful minuet was danced. In the spring a pageant is to be presented at the Jefferson Theatre. It will portray an Indian story entitled A Legend of the Plains. The pag- eant is to be directed by Miss Hartzell, who is also the author of the story. Page One Hundred Twenty-Seven y TENNIS Tennis is one of the most popular sports of the present day. South- western has recognized this fact by laying off six new courts. They have been equally divided among the boys, girls and faculty, each receiving two. Much interest is being manifested, and some of our girls show very good form; in fact, they are becoming so skillful they even have hopes of com- peting, at some future date, with the famous Susanne Lenglen, and defeat- ing her, thereby bringing home the bacon for Southwestern. The par- ticipants, as well as the fans, are anxiously awaiting the match games which are to take place in the early part of May. BASEBALL n n n o4 A new sport has been introduced at Southwestern this term in the game of Indoor Baseball. It may boast of the largest enrollment of any of the girls ' sports. The players are very enthusiastic, and the quick way in which they have learned the rules and the game shows that baseball is truly an all-American sport. There are four teams, and match games will be played in the spring. Page One Hundred Twenty-Eight n n n n n o4 HUMOIL ,D IB 25 IK Page One Hundred Twenty-Nine HUMOR Important Questions on the Campus.
