JMtce Jl teele JKnbcrts The Rose Beyond the Wall Near shady wall a rose once grew, Budded and blossomed in God ' s free light, Watered and fed by morning dew, Shedding its sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, Slowly rising to a loftier height, It came to a crevice in the wall, Through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with added strength, With never a thought of fear or pride; And it followed the light through the crevice ' s length, And unfolded itself on the other side. The light, the dew, the broadening view Were found the same as they were before; And it lost itself in beauties new, Breathing its fragrance more and more. Shall claim of death cause us to grieve, And make our courage faint or fall? Nay, let us faith and hope receive — The rose still grows beyond the wall. Scattering fragrance far and wide, Just as it did in days of yore, Just as it did on the other side, Just as it will for evermore.

EARL ADAMS Garden City, Louisiana I K A Candidate for B.S. As Business Manager of L ' Acaiuen, Earl has proved his worth, and the student body is deeply indebted to him for his untiring services. Earl is the king of the mound in baseball, and received a letter in foot- ball during his Senior year. Sarah, old boy, we salute you as you pass out from South western ' s fold. May you have a glorious future, and we are confident that you shall.

EWART ADAMS Minden, Louisiana SUA Candidate for B.S. Fatty leaves an all-round big place to fill. He leaves a gap in the football line which we challenge an ordinary person to (ill. And — O, yes, girls, don ' t get discouraged. If you try long enough and hard enough, maybe Fatty will grant you a smile or a letter. Football, ' 22, ' 23, ' 24, ' 25. [Fifteen] ROBERT LEE ARCENEAUX Carencro, Louisiana Candidate for B.S. Robert is a quiet chap, but we understand from those who know him well that beneath his outward tim- idity is a generous, manly heart, and we are all proud to have him as a member of the Class of ' 26. Demeter Club, ' 25, ' 26. GEORGE ELLIS BERNARD Carencro, Louisiana p K A Candidate for B.S. Peek. has been with us since the summer of 1923, and we realize that next year he will leave a place that only a steady and reliable person will be able to fill. He has been very active in keeping alive the agricultural department. President, Demeter Club. LELIA BERNARD Broussard, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Lelia is a wise little Senior. She doesn ' t say much around the campus, but she surely struts her knowl- edge on examination papers. There is no danger of any one ever being able to accuse us of lacking schol- ars here as long as such a student as Lelia exists. [Sixteen] L ' RCHDIEM SMhS MILDRED L. BOURDIER Lake Charles, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Mildred is one of those people who always look as if they are in a hurry ; but stop her, and she ' s will- ing to help in anything, and in the course of her years at Southwestern has done much to make it a better place.

[Seventeen} ARTHUR BRESIE De Quincy, Louisiana I K A Candidate for B.A. Goat has been with us quite a while: but, then, when you put it all together, it hasn ' t been very Ions after all. We are all proud of the L. I. A. A. records which he ho ld in the mile and half-mile runs. He is a splendid all-round boy, and it is with deep regret that the Class of ' 26 says : Good-by, ' Goat, ' old boy, and good luck.

Nig is one of those athletes who delights in one and all sports. In 1923 he was awarded the Upton Athletic Medal for being the best athlete at Southwestern. He also ranks high in scholarship, and we will sorely miss him on our campus next year. And if you dont believe he can tease, ask Potter.

[Eigh fern ] •Ml L ' HCRDIEN W ROLAND J. CAMBRE Reserve, Louisiana K A Candidate for B.S. Tom is a four-letter man in athletics, a hard worker in student activities, and a heart breaker among the girls, although he is very proud of his membership in the Royal Order of Bachelors. Tom deserves the highest kind of praise for the success he has made in putting himself through college. Adios, ' Tom, ' and good luck.

MRS. LOUISE CHIASSON Lafayette, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Mrs. Chia-sson has a home just across the street from school, and treats us all as her own children. She is an ofT-and-on student, attending Southwestern oniy in hzr leisure hours, but she is a conscientious worker. Newman Club. MARIE LOUISE COMEAUX YOUNGSVILLE, LOUISIANA Candidate for B.S. Boys, she ' s one of those cooking girls, which means that she is finishing in Home Economics. Marie Louise drives in to school each morning from her home town ; so she naturally does not have much time for campus activities : but we always know she ' s around in the daytime, and we ' ll miss her bright face next year. Home Economics Club; Avatar Debating Club. [Nineteen] ETHEL DANIEL Washington, Louisiana Candidate for B.S. Ethel is the small, dainty girl on our campus whom we always think of in connection with one of our famous athletes of last year. From the first Ethel has shown up well in her class, making creditable grades and making a name for herself as being willing and reliable in any task assigned her. Senior Representative to W. S. A. Senate; Color Guard, ' 25; Home Economics Club; Y. W. C. A. ALBERT DELANEY Greenville, Texas 2 n a Candidate for B.A. The Texas Longhorns will rally around the flag after assembly. Albert is thus noted for his almost daily announcement, because the Texans seem to be always up and doing. Albert is also noted for his splendid work in debating, and we welcome from Texas any more students of such great merit as he has. Avatar Debating Club, ' 25; Y. M. C. A. VIRGINIA LEE DUNHAM Hattiesburg, Mississippi A E Candidate for B.A. Virginia has danced her way into the hearts of many during her college days. Whether on the stage or on the ballroom floor, she is the essence of charm and grace, and is included in the list of the Seniors of whom we are most proud. She has handled well her large share of responsibilities as a student leader. Art Editor, L ' Acadien, ' 24, ' 26; President, Attakapas Debating Club, ' 24- ' 25; Vice President, Y. W. C.

She went to Newcomb for two years and then came to us. She has never given us cause for worry or disappointment, and we are happy to have her as a member of the Class of ' 26. Newman Club. GUSSIE HEFFNER Crowley, Louisiana Candidate for B.S. Southwestern is always glad to send such students into the world as Gussie, for she is dependable and willing in every sense of the word. Gussie is the kind of student who has helped to make Southwestern the great, glorious place it is. Y. W. C. A.; President, Home Economics Club, ' 26; Acadia Club; Honor Council, Foster Hall, ' 26. MELBA KNIGHTEN Lafayette, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Melba is an A student. We welcome her back into our fold after an absence of several months ; but all the A students naturally become Seniors, and it is with regret that we bid Melba farewell, wishing her abundant fruits from her efforts and wisdom. Y. W. C. A.; Home Economics Club. [Twenty-one] MAXIE E. LANDRY Lafayette, Louisiana 2 II A Candidate for B.S. Gee, but we hate to part with ole Max. It ' s really appalling when we stop to think of the job we ' ll have filling his place as center on the Football Squad next year. In 1023 he made All-State center, and has been, and always will be, All-Southwestern Maxie to us until the end of time. Football, ' 22, ' 23, ' 24, ' 25; Dramatic Club; Business Manager, Newman Club Hand- book Committee, ' 25- ' 26. RAOUL LANDRY Lafayette, Louisiana 2 II A Candidate for B.A. Here is a boy from Lafayette who has set a standard in scholarship which is to be envied by all. Raoul has worked hard indeed to serve his Alma Mater. He also deserves a great amount of praise for earning a letter in football during his Senior year. President, French Circle, ' 25- ' 26; Newman Club; Football, ' 25- ' 26; Glee Club, ' 2:3, ' 24, ' 25; Dramatic Club. HENRY LEVOIS Lafayette, Louisiana « K A Candidate for B.S. Who ' s going to fill Henry ' s place next year? O. that ' s going to be a hard place to fill! Henry is an old timer, having finished his high-school course here before Southwestern had graduated. The way he clam- bers down to those bass notes in the quartet numbers makes our throats hurt, but the way he clambers up in the realm of the student activities is the pride and envy of every student. To our student body Presi- dent we wish a lifelong success. Track, ' 21, ' 22, ' 23, ' 25; Captain, ' 22; Secretary-Treasurer, ' 22; Wearer of S Em- blem; Avatar Debating Club; Engineering Club; S.

LEVY Plaquemine, Louisiana A E N Candidate for B.A. One of the girls of whom we are most proud is the Editor in Chief of L ' ACAUrBN. Selma has always worked hard and faithfully in all college activities, and yet has never been too busy to make scores of friends. She gets pe-ved if we call her witty, but we all agree that she is, anyhow.

LODA MAY LIGON Baton Rouge, Louisiana a e n Billie is about to leave, too. We can ' t think of a soul who will be glad except Ned. Billie has earned for herself a name that will ever inspire others to be up and doing. She has kept the Vermilion going in spite of many obstacles, and is just about the busiest little person we know of everv minute of the day.

EHSK [Twenty-three] HAZEL L. LOWE Iowa, Louisiana Candidate for B.S. We will always remember Hazel as one of the girls who was there on the job when it came to the man- agement of the Tea Room, and goodness knows that means a lot to us ! Then, again, Hazel was a leader in all dormitory affairs. Here ' s to her a successful career, which we are sure she ' ll have after she ' s left us. Y. W. C. A.

MABLE MALLORY New Iberia, Louisiana Candidate for B.S. Here is another one of those Home Economies girls of whom we are so proud. We are all confident that liable will be a success in life, because when it comes to preparing a good meal, keeping a nice house, and sewing beautifully, Mable ' s the girl for the occasion. We have no doubts as to her future. Home Economics Club; Y. W. C. A. HARRISON C. MEAUX Kaplan, Louisiana K A Candidate for B.S. Always a cheery smile and a hello from T Meaux ! He never fails us. He has been with us since our high-school days in 1020. and has never yet given us cause to be anything but proud of him. O, T Meaux. how many smiles less will be seen on our campus without you here next year! Football, ' 21, ' 22, ' 23, ' 24; Track, ' 22, ' 23, ' 24; Record Holder in L. I. A. A. in Low Hurdles. [Twenty- four] isms L ' nCHDIEN • vf : jk ' , ' A - CARLTON MILLER Sunset, Louisiana Candidate for B.S. Miller came to us as a Junior from Tulane last year, and our only regret is that he did not join us sooner. He holds the A. A. U. Junior Day championship in the 220-yard dash, and has worked hard and laithfully in track at Southwestern. Vice President, Demeter Club, ' 25; French Club; Newman Club; Track, ' 24, ' 25. GUSSIE MILLER Carencro, Louisiana Candidate for B.S. Gussie is a hard and faithful worker in the Home Economics department. She motors in to school each morning, and we, therefore, see her and enjoy her ready smile only in the daytime. Home Economics Club; Newman Club. MABEL L. MILLER Abbeville, Louisiana a e 2 Candidate for B.A. Parting time has come, and the Class of ' 26 feels proud to have had Mable as one of its members. Her scholarship has always been of the highest rank, and what Senior class doesn ' t welcome and hold dear a Minerva? Life cannot help being kind to our Mabel. President, Pan-Hellenic Council, ' 26; Avatar Debating Club; Newman Club. [Twenty-five] VIVIAN MONIES Lafayette, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Vivian possesses the wisest little head in our class. She is a little quiet and shy, but always ready to help a student in the library and out. She possesses a wonderful personality, because she has remained popular in spite of the fact that she has to fuss at us constantly in the library. Y. W. C. A.; Wearer of S Emblem. LEONARD MONTALBANO Lafayette, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Old Nod! Everybody knows him, and he hasn ' t an enemy in the world. He has become so much a part of this institution that nobody has stopped to think that this year could possibly be his last one with us. Manager, Basket-Bali Team, ' 21; Manager, Baseball Team, ' 23, ' 25; Football, ' 25; Wearer of S Emblem. MARY MOORE Lafayette, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Mary is a daring little athlete on the gym ladder. She has a generous heart, and many a weary wender from town has found her way into Mary ' s big Studebaker. Such deeds of kindness are never forgotten, and the Class of ' 26 wishes little Mary all possible success and happiness. Newman Club; W. A. A.; Town Club. [Twenty-six] NORMA MOORE Lafayette, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Norma has attended Southwestern constantly for the past three years and summer sessions as well. She will, therefore, be finishing her college career at an early age. May your life reflect as many successes as your father has reflected faces of our class, Norma ! Newman Club; W. A. A.; Town Club. GUSSIE MOUSSET Lafayette, Louisiana Candidate for B.S. Gussie came to Southwestern, left, and finally returned to us again, realizing that S. L. I. is the best place after all. We ' re mighty glad she ' s back, because we are all proud to claim such a good student as Gussie is. Newman Club; Home Economics Club. WILLIAM MOUTON Lafayette, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. We have never had a Mouton fail us yet ! William is a brilliant student, a faithful worker, and a gen- tleman. We welcome him as a member of our graduating class, although this is his first year with us. He will never want for an audience, as his vocabulary and his knowledge charm us all. Newman Club; Avatar Debating Club. [Twenty-seven ' ] ijig ffM, L ' HCRDIEN -|fW? OLIVE NOLAN Lafayette, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Olive seems to be an easy-going Senior, worrying no one, at the same time gaining much knowledge and greeting all with a smile. In leaving us she will leave a host of loyal friends who will always remem- ber her. Town Club; W. A. A.; Lafayette Parish Club. FANNY WISE NORMAN Patterson, Louisiana -AT (L. S. U.) Candidate for B.A. Fanny Wise is, indeed, a wise little Senior to have chosen Southwestern as the school to graduate from after much traveling back and forth between here and L. S. U. Can you imagine Fanny Wise as the pro- verbial Senior, with books under arm and a serious face? Well, no; we can ' t, either. Attakapas, ' 23; Dramatic Club. LELA ORANGE Iowa, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Whether Lela talks to you on the campus or whether you hear her debate, somehow you are always con- vinced. She has done a great deal in the last two years to further interest in debating and oratory, and she is also an A student. We can ' t keep her always, however ; so we wish her Godspeed for next year and all the years that follow. W. A. A.; Calcasieu Club; Y. W. C.

A., ' 25. [Twenty-eight] KATHRYN ELIZABETH POLK Abbeville, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Kathryn is a new girl at Southwestern this year, having migrated to ns from Normal. Already a Sen- ior, it amazes us that so small and dainty a mis; should be able to carry all of the knowledge which she possesses. She is friendly and full of pep, and we are only sorry that she didn ' t come to Southwestern ' s fold sooner. Dramatic Club. JOSEPH A. RIEHL Lafayette, Louisiana 2 II A Candidate for B.S. Just call on Joe any time, anywhere, and for anything you want done, and you may rest assured that it will be done immediately and right. Joe has probably been called upon to do more of various duties than any other person in college, and to say that he has done all things well is still too little praise.

MABEL MARIE ROY Lafayette, Louisiana A E N Candidate for B.A. For the past two years Mabel has been voted in the popularity contest to be the prettiest girl on the campus. We all agree with Shots that she deserves such a place. Mabel amazes us at every turn, be- cause she is not only pretty, but sweet, kind, and, above all, intelligent. We all have to part with our fairest ornament, but in so doing we give to the world a very wonderful person. May luck and good for- tune follow our Senior Rose !

Well, here is another of the Old Gang passing from Southwestern ' s world into another. We can ' t feature Southwestern without Beanie. He is one of our heartiest athletes. Good luck, Beanie!

JEWEL SHAW De Ridder, Louisiana Candidate for B.A. Jewel is also a new girl at Southwestern. She came to us from Louisiana State this year, and has been successful in making a host of friends while here. Dramatic Club. LEON SIADOUS Siadous, Louisiana K A Candidate for B.A. Duck is our star shortstop. He has his own car, is very generous with it, and is an all-round good fellow. We can ' t conceive of his being old enough to be a Senior, but our class is full of surprises. Baseball, ' 24, ' 25; Newman Club. SUE S.

Seven victories, two de- feats, is what we find after look- ing over the past football program In the athletic field ; and further considering the size and ability of the opponents of the Bulldogs, we are more than satisfied with the showing they made, and congratu- late ourselves on having had such a wonderful team to uphold the honor and glory of our Alma Ma- ter. Much credit for the success of this team may justly be given to Coach Mobley and Coach Browne, who did everything in their power and racked their brains for new plays to make each game a success and to make finally a championship eleven. With the assistance of Captain Cagle, the Red Grange of the South and the backbone of our team, who led the eleven to vic- tory consistently, the Coaches finally realized their Utopian dream of another championship eleven. When the first roll was called on Girard Field on the first Monday in September, fifty candidates were present to answer the call of Coach Mobley, mentor of football, and to do their stuff. Practically all the 1924 championship team were there, and Coach Mobley, with the assistance of Coach Browne, soon uncovered material to fill the places of the missing stars of ' 24. After three weeks of intensive training, Southwestern resumed athletic relations with Loyola Uni- versity. It was a great game. Loyola was the first of a string of victims, and ended up on the short end of a 17-0 score. NOD M0N7ALBANO HALFBACK TOM CAMBRE HALFBACK MAX J CE. LANDRY CENTER [Sixty-one] BEAN1 RUtiER IEFT ENO a CECIL PC RIGHT CHO The winning streak of South- western was to be halted, however, and the following Saturday she emerged from the hardest fought game in years, when the L. S. U. Tigers pounced upon her with the actual ferocity of a tiger and cap- tured the game by the score of 38-6. South Park College came from Beaumont, October 10, to avenge on the field the humiliation that her team had undergone the two pre- ceding years. She was again to be disappointed, as Captain Cagle was right that day, and he sent them down 14-0 at his leisure. One of the biggest earthquakes the world has ever known came Oc- tober 17. The sun was eclipsed and the whole world was astounded. Southwestern lost her second and last game of the season to Sam Houston College by the heart- breaking score of 7-2 ; but the grand welcome the team received on their return was enough to cheer any loser, and it was decided that that was to be the last game lost. There was one mistake in Mis- sissippi Normal ' s schedule — i. e., having a game with Southwestern after the defeat in Texas. The Mississippians put up a great game, but Coach Mobley had made a prediction that Southwestern had lost her last game, and it was left to the team to decide that Coach was right by something like a score of 46-0. Cagle and the others did their stuff ; and, besides, who couldn ' t play football for South- western with the support the Bull- dogs received that day? SHOTS STAFFORD RIGHT {NO BEN HOCKEY GUARD ■ [Sixty-two} The Football Season of 1925 RAYMOND AUCOIN GUARD The Louisiana College Game October 31 will long be remem- bered by the crowd that stood on the rain-drenched field and watched the Bulldogs tame the Wildcats from Louisiana College. This is one of the games that is looked for- ward to with the same fervor that Harvard awaits the annual tilt with Yale. The day was a com- mendable one. On a field that was of slush and mire the Southwest- ern Bulldogs bucked the line, passed, slid around, through, and over the line until the final score proclaimed Southwestern again victorious over the Wildcats by the score of 31-0 — one point for each day in that month that the Bulldogs had toiled awaiting this game. Cagle had again made his- tory for Southwestern and for himself. Each time he carried the ball for a substantial gain, but most of the time for a touchdown. There was no game the following Saturday, but on November 14 the Bulldogs made amends for their HENRY ACHE! GUARD JACK STRAUSS TACKLE RAOUtu LANDRY END EWART ADAMS Center GLAOU DUPUiS [Sixty-three] Texas defeat at the hands of Sam Houston, by defeating Austin College, another Texas team, by the score of 26-7. This was a great game, but the Texas boys just couldn ' t stop the scoring that was going on all around them. On November 20 the Bulldogs invaded foreign territory on the Louisiana Tech field and came home with another slab of bacon. In the excitement that followed the kick-off, some Tech fan shouted: Where ' s Cagle? Ca- gle, a very accommodating young man, stepped forth about this time with the world-famed pigskin under his arm, eluding tacklers on either side, and the chase that followed reminded a disinterested bystander of the old- time fox hunt in England. In this scene the fox got away — with a 90-yard broken-field run. The final score was the old story retold — Southwestern, 22 ; Tech, 13. The Turkey-Day Game The final game was at hand. State Normal had a string of victories longer than the tail on Hadley ' s comet, with but one small defeat of 7-6, handed them by Austin College. Southwestern had a Home-Coming Day, and all the grads were there, ffiMft [Sixty-four] L ' HCRDIEN riMSBS with friends and families, and the campus was as gaily bedight as a gal- lant knight. Pep was in the air, and the supporters from Normal be- lieved in their team. Bouquets were presented to the eight Seniors of the Football Team by the Cheer Leaders, Mabel Lewis and Ralph Boyum. It was indeed sad to know that such men as Captain Cagle, Tom Cambre, Earl Adams, Fat Adams, Nod Montalbano, Max Landry, Raoul Landry, and Nig Bujard were playing their last football game for Southwestern. Normal was playing for Cagle that day, but they did not watch Stafford and others, who made touchdowns while Cagle helped them with his beautiful passes. The only score Normal made was when Turpin, star back, broke through for a 30-yard run and touchdown. This was soon eclipsed, as the Bulldogs piled up a 24-7 victory for old Southwestern. Again we say that the 1925 season was the best yet. The victories prove that all the training and the efforts of the team and Coaches were worth while, and all the support and the loyalty of the student body was not misplaced. The 1925 record was worthy of Southwestern, and that ' s say- ing a lot ! [Sixty-fi ve] The 1925 Freshman Football Squad The Freshman Team made for itself one of the best records of any yearling team in the South, going through the entire season, copping victories here and there, and ending up with a perfect season. Under the efficient coaching of R. L. Browne, the South- western Frosh swept all opposition aside and trampled over all the strong high-school and prep-school elevens within reach, playing havoc with all their opponents, caus- ing their football season to appear to many of their opponents and rivals as The Reign of Terror. In three games Coach Browne ' s boys piled up a total score of 140 points against their opponents ' 0. The whole outfit resembled a well-organized, systematic plan, functioning with equal smoothness and ease either on offense or on defense. Captain Nichols was a very dependable man at center, and was in every play with his heart and soul. Courmier, a new man at the game, was a Trojan for punishment on defense and a battering ram on offense. Other luminaries in the Frosh squad were : Thomas, Abramson, Lacour, Boggs, Rolufs, Sonnier, Bernard, Reeves, Dupuis, and Willis. These men were always found to deliver the goods when they were called on to do their stuff. From the smile that Coach Mobley, of the ' Varsity squad, wore while watching the Freshmen tear up their opponents at every game, it may be concluded that much prom- ising ' Varsity material should be gotten from such a splendid aggregation of Frosh gridmen. THE SEASON Frosh 27 Jennings 0 Frosh 61 Opelousas 0 Frosh 52 Louisiana College 0 140 0 ' Gall [Sixty-six] Basket-Ball Review of the Season The 1925 season started with wonderful prospects, and King Basket Ball ruled the sports column for winter in all his glamor and glory. Basket ball was in the air, and every one was waiting to see if Coach R. L. Browne would turn out a championship team. With a total of eighteen games with colleges and independent teams, Southwestern weathered the hardest season of her career. Of this num- ber, only two games were won, both on the home court ; but the majority of those that were lost were by a margin of a few points, which fact shows that the games were hard fought. This may be exemplified in the opening game with Baylor University, in which Southwestern was ahead until the last few minutes of play, when, with a sudden spurt, Baylor came out leading — 27-25. The majority of the games played ended in the same close fashion ; and although the Bulldogs did not have a championship team, they always played the champions a hard, clean game. [Sixty-seven] The first victory was over Louisiana State Normal, when, after having been defeated the night before in a hard game, the Bulldogs came back with fighting spirit, characteristic of their name, and won a riotous victory over the Demons. It may well be stated that that was the only game Nor- mal lost during the season of fifteen games. She had a string of victims from all colleges, crowned by two overwhelming defeats handed to Louisi- ana State University. The second Bulldog victory was annexed at the expense of Louisiana College, the Bulldogs emerging from the fray with the Wildcats victorious by a score of 40-39. This was another grand display of fighting spirit, for the Bulldogs had lost a number of games, and although it seemed as if there was no hope, they put up a wonderful fight and won their last game. The Bull dogs ' season from the viewpoint of games won and lost was a failure, but the never-say-die spirit they held until the final game was commendable of any quintet, and the sportsmanship with which they played exhibited a far higher merit than the championship, because, as we all know, any one can be a good winner, but it takes a thoroughbred to be a good loser. [Sixty-eight] Baseball Review of ' 25 The Baseball Team of 1925, although badly wrecked by graduation of several of the stars of 1924, came through with a splendid season, and won the second State champion- ship in succession. When it seemed that there was practically no hope of having a great team in the national sport. Coach T. R. Mobley resolved that Southwestern could win even with a dark outlook, and the record that was made by the Baseball Team brought his resolutions to fulfillment in another State championship. At the beginning of the season everything seemed to go wrong, making the outlook to darken and the prospects to dwindle away on the horizon. With the consistent coaching and gruelling practices, however, Coach Mobley succeeded in whipping into shape a representative team for old Southwestern, one that could uphold the honor and spirit of our College and fight all the harder in the pinches. The first games at home, preparatory to the long road trip of the team, in which the Bulldogs would invade foreign territory, were successful, and the team had begun to gain that confidence which always leads to a determination to win. The first invasion of foreign soil was begun in earnest. The Bulldogs met the L. S. U. Tigers on the first day, and came out victorious over that strong team by the over- whelming score of 11-4. The hearts of the Coach and players were now set on a defi- nite reward — a dim, yet beautiful, image on the far-off horizon, the dream of another championship nine. The team was rained out the second game, and they continued their conquest into Mississippi. In a total of six games on this trip Southwestern was vic- torious in three, making a very good average for a trip on the road. Immediately upon returning, the Bulldogs set about to make amends for the three losses on the road by winning two games of their series with Louisiana College, Jeffer- son College, and South Park College in rapid succession. By this time the Bulldogs were sure of their strength, and, with more preparation, headed to Northern Louisiana on their last trip, which would ultimately determine the State championship. [Sixty-nine] On this trip, which was a glorious one for Southwestern, the Bulldogs first met the State Normal Demons and defeated them by the score of 11-4 and 8-7. The next ad- versary was Louisiana College, who, with the help of fate and the elements, won the first game, which was only five innings long, by the score of 6-5. Next day, Earl Adams, pitching ace of Southwestern, pitched his second no-hit game of the season and defeated the Wildcats 12-0. From Louisiana College the team went to Ruston, where the Bulldogs met and de- feated the strong Tech aggregation in both games. The State had begun to realize that Southwestern was then the highest contender for the championship, and had begun to watch the work of the Bulldogs on the diamond. Louisiana Normal came down to play the final two-game series of the season. Each team emerged from this series with a victory, which concluded the season. In the meantime L. S. U. had met Tulane in a four-game series, the only team that South- western had not played, and they each won two games. Therefore, since Southwestern had beaten every other college in the State, and since Tulane tied L. S. U., whom the Bulldogs had outclassed 11-4, Southwestern claimed the honor of having another State baseball championship.

[Seventy] Forecast of the 1926 Season C5 HE prospects for a team to hold up the record of the 1925 champion- jflgj ship team looks unusually bright, and all indications point toward another highly successful season on the diamond. With Captain Bob Steiner, veteran catcher, who is known throughout all the colleges of the State for his mighty arm, leading the Bulldogs, with all the other vet- erans, and with new material graduated from the Frosh ranks, Southwest- ern should have a team to uphold her name on any diamond. These promising men appear to hold the following positions with ease and assurance: Steiner, catcher; Foley, first base; Landry, second base; Sia- dous, shortstop; Cambre, third base; Bujard, left field; Ruger, center field; E. G. Adams, right field; Stafford, Cagle, Sanders, pitchers; and such men as Emory Adams, Tabor, Willis, and LaCour to fill any vacancy. The following is the schedule for 1926 : March 13, Southern Pacific .... at Lafayette April 7, Southern Pacific at Lafayette April 8, Southern Pacific ... . .at Lafayette April 9, Louisiana State .... at Lafayette April 10, Louisiana State ... at Lafayette April 14, Louisiana College ... at Alexandria April IS, Louisiana College at Alexandria April 21, Louisiana Tech ... at Lafayette April 22, Louisiana Tech .... at .Lafayette April 26, Mississippi College ... at Lafayette April 27, Mississippi College ... at Lafayette May 6, Louisiana College at Lafayette May 7, Louisiana College .A . . .at Lafayette [Seventy-one ' ] Track for ' 25 The Southwestern Track Team of 1925 was a complete success, and it established some records in the L. I. A. A., S. I. A. A., and A. A. U. that will not be broken for many seasons. These records were made by Richardson, who broke and still holds the A. A. U. record for the high jump, and A. Bresie, who lowered the S. I. A. A. record in the mile. . . . „ The season ' s record for the team consists of two victories — one over bam Houston College, of Huntsville, Texas, which ended 70-31 in the Bulldogs ' favor, and the L. I. A. A. meet at Natchitoches, the final score being: Southwestern, 60%; Louisiana Col- lege, 28%; Normal, 24. The crowning victory came when a few of South western ' s select stars went to JNew Orleans for the Junior and Senior A. A. U. meet. Such men as Richardson, R. Bresie, Cagle Broussard, Meaux, Toland, Miller, and Levois were called upon to show the South what Southwestern could do upon the cinder path and field. The results were clearly shown when these few men won second place in the Junior A. A. U. meet and took sev- eral places in the Senior meet. In all, the team brought back sixteen shining medals in reward for their exhibition of skill and ability in the Junior and Senior meets. Southwestern is proud of her Track Team of ' 25. In the first two meets the victo- ries went to Southwestern, and any college would be proud to support a team that had established a record of that sort. It is needless to say, however, that the great success which the team met in New Orleans is nothing short of wonderful. It is a dream that is not often realized, a feat seldom accomplished; and Southwestern attributes its splen- did success of the team to Coach R. L. Browne, who held up the standards of South- western by turning out the fourth championship team in four consecutive years. [Seventy-hvo} L ' RCRDIEN Track Outlook for ' 26 ITH practically all of last year ' s letter men back and with many addi- tions recruited from last year ' s Frosh cinder athletes, the outlook for a strong and winning ' Varsity Track Team during the spring of 1926 is the most encouraging that Southwestern has been able to look for- ward to since 1923. After winning second place in the Junior A. A. U last year at New Or- leans and placing in the Senior meet, the Athletic Department of South- western bid for the meet to be held on Girard Field in 1926. Since South- western was opening her wonderful stadium, the bid was accepted. So this year all of the track stars may have a chance to do their bit for the old school. This is the first time that the meet has been held outside of New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Among the men around whom Coach Browne is building his hopes are: Captain Meaux and Broussard, in the low hurdles ; Cagle and Miller, in the dashes ; Cambre and Dupuis, in the pole vault ; Broussard and Bujard, in the high hurdles; Achee and C. Hanchey, in the weights; R. Bresie, A. Bresie, and R. Aucoin, in the distance runs; with Potter doing the high jumping. The Freshman outlook is one of the finest in years. From some of the strongest high schools in the State, Frosh material for track and field has come, making an aggregation of track men who will be hard to beat. Such men as Boggs, Cormier, Sonnier, Roy and Ray Buce, Mallett, Morse, Plais- ance, Bernard, and boys of that type, are a credit to any college team and will be sure candidates for the ' Varsity Squad of 1927.

VOW [One Hundred Forty-three ' ] Gossipy Gazette O F SOUTHWESTERN Published By the Clabberheads Vol. 9-10 MAY 31, 1926 No. 1 1-100 Game Was Lost by Hysterical Crowd Amid the shouts of the hysterical crowd, the Bulldogs lost their game to Chicago University, by the close margin of one point. They showed that crowd, however, what high class football is. Never was there such brave tackling, and such spectacular touchdowning. The Chicago Univer- sity players were baffled; they seemed never to have come up against such lightning players. Excitement was more tense during this game than at the last meeting of the Women ' s Chatting Club, not a whisper could be heard, because everyone was shouting at the top of his lungs. Hair was pulled, collar buttons jerked off; one boy tore his shoe strings into shreds with his teeth; finger nails were bitten to the quick — excitement ran high. The football players rushed around the field with broken arms dangling; one fellow ' s ear was barely hanging, but they all refused to be put out of the game. They rushed from one end of the field to the other. As soon as Southwestern scored a touchdown, Chicago U ran right down, and in spite of the wall of iron and Bulldogs, they too made a touchdown. The final score was 7-6 in favor of Chi- cago University. The state of high excitement ceased — the tension was over and the crowd broke into tears of relaxation — tears flowed copiously as the crowd dispersed. The Largest Loco motive in the World We, the engineers of S. L. I., have noted descriptions of large locomo- tives in this country and foreign countries; and after four years of hard studying and research work, we have decided to design the largest locomotive in the world, the one that Fatty Adams will drive. This engine will have five acres of netting in the smoke box and it will (Continued on page 4) Southwestern is Full £ledged Collegiate It is a very well established fact that Southwestern is now collegiate. This existing condition has been grad- ually affected by the new elements brought in from other colleges — Wofford Sanders, Washington and Lee; Buddy Quirk, L. S. U. They ' re so collegiate! You see they ' re seen the world and now they come and show Southwestern how to do it! We even give inter-fraternity (Continued on page 5) Riot in De Luxe Restaurant Quelled Two prominent students of South- western became engaged in an un- timely fight yesterday evening. They were, namely Henry LeVois and Jack Strauss. They had eaten a hearty meal of beans and stuffed peppers at the dining hall at Southwestern, and had then come down to the De Luxe Restaurant for dinner. They had al- most finished, but when the mince pie came in — that ' s when the trouble began. They began to fight over the piece of mince pie. Jack Strauss insisted his piece was larger than Henry Le- Vois ' s. The fight really began to look serious after a few minutes of grap- pling. The crowd began to gather, women began screaming, and Mr. Theriot ran out of his restaurant in an agony of fright. However, Orton Besse happened to be passing by; he saw the commotion, sprang into the restaurant, and tore the two fellows apart with no effort at all. He got a big writeup in the New York Times the next day, and Jack Dempsey wired him to come up to consult him immediately. Shorty has decided to run up and look business over. The brawl ended rather quietly and Jack and Henry went their ways, af- ter having consumed a couple of pies. Dr. Stephens Has Issued New Laws The most important event of the year at Southwestern was the as- tounding proclamation of Dr. Steph- ens, which literally took the campus by storm. The Gazette takes this opportunity of placing this proclama- tion before the eyes of the students, and of letting them realize the full significance of these new laws, which are as follows: Article I. Any student who de- sires to have a Ford to run around town in, and to and from classes in, may apply at the business office for a loan of desired amount of money, to purchase aforementioned Ford — the loan to be granted immediately and paid back within twenty-five years. Article II. There will be no more assembly, due to the fact that the faculty is getting tired of it, and have declared it katoosh. Article III. Classes will be held from this date on from the hours 10:30 to 12:30, and from 2:30 to 3:30. Three classes a day have been pronounced the maximum amount of work to be done. A degree on this basis will be granted in three years time. Article IV. Any student who at- tends all classes in one day without cutting any of the three will, at the end of each day after having achieved said act, be rewarded by dining with the President at the exact hour of (Continued on page 6) Debating Club Meets — No Quorum The president of the Debating Club waited two hours for a quorum last night and only Sudie Peters came. They discussed the important topics of the day, and then the presi- dent suggested that more students be present at the next meeting, and Sudie said she would do her best, because she was interested in debat- ing. A motion for adjournment was made and the President approved of the motion. The meeting was then adjourned. 2 GOSSIPY GAZETTE.

It is a noble thing to start out on a college career after having gone to all the trouble of graduating from High School. We extend a hearty hand of welcome. We are glad you came. We will show you around, and tell you what a wonderful thing is college life, and make things pleasant for you, so you ' ll come back. After all you know, we need you. You ' ll get back in the same old rut next year, probably bring someone back with you. Bring ' em on — we ' ll make them think it ' s all a happy dream too. We thank you. This Faculty At the last meeting of the Student Body it was decided that an entire new set of teachers will be imported to Southwestern from Hollywood. It was moved by Mr. Ralph Boyum that the old set be done away with in some inconspicuous manner. At the suggestion of Miss Minnie Lee Thompson, Mr. Boyum amended this motion to the effect that an exchange plan be adopted. After much cor- respondence the following exchanges were arranged with the Hollywood players. Wm. S. Hart Mr. Fletcher Mary Pickford Mrs. Girard Lew Cody Mr. Norton Thomas Moore Dr. Bolyard Gloria Swanson Miss Hartzell Adolph Menjou Mr. Morrison Lon Chaney Mr. McNaspy Norma Shearer . . Mrs. Montgomery The rest of the faculty will be changed for the mob scene in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. ADVICE! Miss Barefacts: Maybe you ' ll think this is funny for me to be writing you — but even if I am a freshman, I have a vital question to ask you. My name is L. J. and I am a perox- ide blonde. I have brown eyes. Would it be all right for me to dye my hair black or dark brown? I have a fair complexion and don ' t you think that would be a good back- ground? Very truly yours, L. J. My dear Miss J. If you really want to dye your hair, I would suggest the dark brown. It is lucky that you live in Lafayette. Get some of Roy ' s High Grade Coffee, boil it for two hours, then rinse your hair thoroughly. It will prove a good experiment, and your hair will be a bright glossy brown. I think the effect will be satisfactory. Miss Barefacts: I ' ve decided to reduce! No — I haven ' t told a soul! But I ' m going to reduce. Now the question, which I want to ask you is — How?!!! Every- one tells me something different and I know you ' ll know the right way. Nig told me to roll around the circle 15 times from the hours 1:00 to 2:00 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but I believe the better way would be to just drink milk and eat well iced cake. What do you think about it? Let me know, Miss Barefacts, so I can be reduced for Commencement exercises. Tell me quick, lady — while I ' m in the reducing mood. Perspiringly yours, B. W. My dear Miss W. I advise that you never enter the tearoom, roll around the circle 30 times at night, eat one meal a day, and never drink water. Dear Miss Barefacts: I ' m in a terrible mess. Nobody asked me for a date last Saturday night and that ' s the first time since I ' ve come to Southwestern that I ' ve been without a date. I think I ' m rather popular and I ' ll die if this ever happens again, or gets out on the campus. Hpw can I keep it quiet? Agonizingly, B. P. My dear Miss P. Wear a new dress every day for a week and then notify the assembly that you will hold dates open for the following week, because you are all dated this week. Dear Miss Barefacts: I am a young college girl and am pretty and a blond. I a.m very popu- lar; but there are only two men in whom I am a whole lot interested. They both profess to love me pro- foundly. How can I keep them both on the string? They think I have a pretty mouth, have I? I think so. Please write me right away and let me know what to do. One is a brunette, the other a brunette. m.iv n GOSSIPY GAZETTE. LAFAYETTE. LA. ADVICE! (Continued ) Shouldn ' t I have one blonde suitor? Yours till your answer arrives, H. L. My dear Miss L. No, not necessary to have a blonde. Center your attraction on most desir- able brunette and marry him some- time in June. Dear Miss Bare facts: I can ' t seem to keep out of the office of the Dean of Women. I try to obey rules, and they tell me I ' m thoughtless. I attend the office of the Dean of Women as regularly as I do my classes. Will you tell me how I can drop this attendance inconspicuously? Yours in suspense, R. F. My dear Miss F. : You say you attend the office of the Dean of Women regularly. The way to drop this attendance incon- spicuously is to resist the temptation of being in the limelight. Don ' t be seen in conspicuous places. Refrain from dances, the tearoom, canteen and assembly for a period of two months — and see if that helps mat- ters out. Never speak out loud, and whisper gently when spoken to. Finances of the Average Man Per Month Frat.

In that year she has become a star business lady, her sal- ary has been raised several times. She was homesick for Lafayette and now that she is back will spend most of her time visiting friends. Miss Mabel Roy who went up to Montreal last month for a house party returned yesterday with five guests. Incidentally, her hair is cut short, and it is shingled up the back. Billie Ligon left yesterday to at- tend the Bathing Beauty Contest to be held in Atlantic City two weeks hence. It has been whispered her gorgeous bathing suit is a perfect fit. Ben Hockey and Buddy Quirk left several weeks ago for New York where they have by now assumed the duties of secretary and treasurer respectively to the Mayor of New York City. We don ' t know what the Mayor will do if they decide to come back to Southwestern, or how he will manage. Mr. Donald Kemper left last night for Cuba. Mr. Tom Cambre will leave tomor- row for Pittsburg where he will as- sume his duties as manager of the Western Electric Company im- mediately upon his arrival there. 4 GOSSIPY GAZETTE. LAFAYETTE. LA.

It will take nine carpenters four months to build the pilot, and a steam shovel will be used to feed her coal. (Note this, as this is where the most essential part played by the engineers comes in.) The tank will hold 27 carloads of water and every time it is essential to wash the boiler it will be necessary to drain the Mis- sissippi River. The pony wheels will be as large as an ordinary turntable. There will be provision made for the roundhouse force to hold a picnic in the fire box every sum mer while the engineer and his crew are oiling up for the next trip. This locomotive will carry 860 lbs. of steam pressure and 360 lbs. of air train line, and will run from coast to coast on the S. P. line. According to the tabulation made of S. L. I. en- gineers, the wind from the train will knock down gigantic trees of the for- est along the line, as the run will be made in 3 hours, 7 minutes and 32 seconds. If ever this huge locomotive leaves the track there will be an earthquake in China four days after. The lubri- cator itself will hold four barrels of oil. This train will be going at such a rate that when it stops it will still be going at the rate of 10 miles per hour. In other words it will meet itself coming back. The engineer will be compelled to blow the whistle six miles ahead of each crossing and this engine will be going so fast, that it will get to the crossing three miles ahead of the whistle. Every time the safety valve pops off there will be a fog in London that will block traffic for thirty days. Every time the fire box is cleaned, if the dirt is dumped into the Atlantic Ocean it will be necessary to add another state to the Union which will make the Florida real estate boom look like an old maid. (There, but not wanted.) When this engine starts it will leave so fast that it will deceive your eyes so that if you were looking at it, you would see it for ten minutes at the same place. The only reason we didn ' t design it to go faster is because we don ' t want our headlight to shine in the back. The engine will be so long that it will have hinges in the middle to go around the curve. The Largest Locomo- tive in the World (Continued from page 1) take a man a day and one-half to walk through the cylinder, every time this particular engine will exhaust it will run for 20 minutes after the echoes subside. There will be an elevator so constructed as to go to the headlight to hoist the oil be- cause it will require five barrels to fill it, and the time calculated for the engineers of S. L. I. to light one signal lamp is two hours and forty minutes. Our driver Fatty Adams is making a careful study of X-ray as he will be compelled to use it to watch for signals along the line. It will take two astronomers who will most probably be Leon Siadous and Alton Bujard, well-equipped with powerful telescopes to watch it go The glare of the headlight will be Raise Chickens in Own Back Yard No, you don ' t have to bother with incubators.

He lectured on and on and on and on, etc., and two students got up and left. Mr. Claycomb finished that topic and started lecturing on and on and on and on, etc. Three students crawled on hands and knees out the side door. Really, Mr. Claycomb was terribly interested in his lecturing; he didn ' t notice anything out of the way. He started on the third topic which was about the digestion of the earth worm. Ten students stalked out. Mr. Claycomb made no comment, but seemed slightly perturbed thundering forth, however, with his lecturing. He lectured on and on and on, and then said, Now we ' ll skin the cat to study the nervous what — well — er. The whole class got up and left. Mr. Claycomb sank down in a deject- ed manner and began pulling his hair wildly. These Southern students — Lazy! NO pep! Can ' t get any work out of ' em. Huh? He looked up and saw Emma V. Turner. Mr. Claycomb, what about the cat, she asked demurely, did curios- ity kill it, sir? Mr. Claycomb dashed out of the room, calling for Dr. Stephens to get Dr. Voorhies, he thought maybe he was going to faint. JOKES Christine: I wish you would not chew gum. Don ' t you know it is made out of horses ' hoofs? Nona Odom : Sure, that ' s why I get a kick out of it. Mrs. Taf t : How many calories in this soup? Mr. Theriot: Have a care, woman, this is a clean place to eat! Pee Wee: Since you won ' t marry me I ' m going to California. Alice: Real estate, or movies? Alice Pearl Harrell wrote home and asked her mother if she got a pink slip. A pink silk one arrived in the next mail. Reporter from the Advertiser: And in what state were you born, Mr. Dearmont? Dr. Dearmont, (wisely): Unless my recollection fails me, young man, it was in the state of ignorance. Irene: Let ' s play tennis. Pee Wee: Can ' t — net ' s broken. Irene: Fine, the net ' s always in the way when I play. Clinton: Say old man, sorry but I lost your gloves. Ben Hockey: That ' s all right, I lost your muffler. Clinton: Fine, the gloves were in the pocket of the coat I borrowed from you. I shall tickle the ivories, said Kearney, as he fingered a toothpick. No, Freshman they don ' t call it drip coffee because it drips off your chin. Something that runs in the best of families hose ! ! ! ! ! Mrs. Frere : Alas, my child it is cold without. Helen Lewis: Without what, Mrs. Frere? Every knock is a boost, said Tubby Nichols, as his car pounded noisily down the drag. Wofford S. : Did you spend a profitable vacation? Jack S.: Well, I ' ve done better— The three shirts I got were nothing to write home about. About the only way to insult a girl from Newcomb is to tell her she needs a haircut. Freshman: Have you seen Hazel since she ' s been reducing? Alice: Yes, she ' s so skinny she ' s afraid to even eat Limburger for fear somebody will think she ' s a cheese straw. Look, Skinny, I weigh three more pounds than you do, said Shorty. Aw, you ' re cheating. You ' ve got your hands in your pockets! ex- claimed Skinny. Southwestern is Full- fledged Collegiate (Continued from page 1) dances, and we give the tearoom a good rush. And also it is a recognized fact that we do more collegiate things, and wear more collegiate clothes. Baby! We ' re the stuff! Well, my goodness — Genevieve Nelson wore her Sunday shoes to school the other day — and Florence Streater let a dress up two inches — and Ralph Boyum wears a different pair of trousers every day. Of course, we lost the golf trous- ers when Loy Olivier went to North- western — and a mourning bench was established when the hog law ruled out some of the arrow collar models. Oh, them balloon trousers! But we have hopes of more ad- vancement; and, as it is, things are doing very well, especially since Miss Joor bobbed her hair, and Miss Hayes came back with the latest Paris models. Anyone with half an eye for Charleston socks and slick heads, stay-combed and hat-less, can tell that Southwestern is a real institu- tion of learning. Jimmy: Hand-painted China is expensive. Wofford: Yes, but hand-painted America keeps me broke. Sudie: What ' s your room mate like, Bush? Bush Hale : Nearly everything I ' ve got. Who gave you that black eye, Freshman? Nobody gave it to me, I had to fight for it. Billy: Your driving is atrocious. Why don ' t you stay in the road? Tubby: I ' ve just had the car washed, and I can ' t do a thing with it. What does that picture repre- sent? Caro: I don ' t know, I painted it over an hour ago. Bernice Babin : Alice, what stunt was Bernice Puckett in? Alice Sims: Why, she wasn ' t in any. Bernice: Well, why was she wearing that kimona then? Alice: Freshman! That wasn ' t a kimona. Don ' t you know they ' re wearing Spanish shawls now? 6 GOSSIPY GAZETTE. LAFAYETTE, LA.

Dr. Stephens Has Issued New Laws (Continued from page 1) eight, to discuss ways and means of advertising the fact the next day. Article V. It is desirable that students attend at least three dances over the weekend in order that they may forget their studies of the past week, and be able to start all over again the following Monday. Article VI. Contrary to previous rules students will be allowed to have dates every night in the week. They may have dinner dates at the Gordon Hotel if they wish to do so. Article VII. All students are here- by required to walk on the grass, because the wear on concrete is ex- pensive to the institution and the grass can take care of itself. CLASSIFIED ADS Buy From Me — !!!
