Instructor in Mathematics L LoAAjeA THE CLASS OF I935 T HE Seniors of 1935, now on the threshold of a new life, are more fortunate than their fello w students who have preceded them for the past few years. During the years of the depression wc have been safely tucked away at college while those who have preceded us have been striving in vain to find opportunities. Never before has any college student been faced with the facts as we have. We have realized that we must prepare ourselves more fully in order to make a credible showing in this new intricate, complicated and fast moving life of ours. Now that we are ready to go forth we feel that we are prepared and that the time has come when our ability will be realized and we will be given chances to show that our Alma Mater has prepared us for a fuller life. We have seen Southwestern grow and prosper. We have seen her sons receive national and international fame for their athletic and scholastic ability. We leave with a heavy heart and our one charge to those we leave behind is — as ever — onward Southwestern!

A. £ £ £ N A Forgotten Student 3 A WHINING and wailing of distant voices that simmer out from a deep un- der current of a pretentious student life tell us in no uncertain terms of the existence of a forgotten student. In every university in the country there is one, just as there is a forgotten man in common, every day life. The forgotten student goes to every football game that his team plays although he is not well acquainted with the game. He doesn ' t know the rules and finer points; and the changes and revisions each year tend to keep him still further in the dark. Despite that he still attends, cheers, and stands up with the crowd; but se- cretly he ' d rather be at home. He never misses an assembly and attends all debates; yet he ' s always in the background in social affairs. He never stoops to mix in campus politics, and is never nominated for an office. His existence is one of oblivion. He belongs to no fraternity. Nobody has ever asked him to join. He is a man of the future — not of the present. He is only a small frog in a small puddle; and when he drifts out into life ' s big ocean, he ' ll still know how to swim. The forgotten one is a good, average student, and naturally opposed to any kind of cheating at exams. Last session some one asked him a question during a mid-term test. He refused to give help and proceeded to explain why. Unfortu- nately the instructor noticed that the forgotten student was obviously either giving or receiving help, and his paper was rated zero. Even the odds are against him. In another year he will be a graduate with an elegant diploma and an equally elegant degree, but he ' s not looking forward to the occasion with any relish. Con- trary to the campus leaders, he knows that even then he will not have reached his goal. He realizes that then he will only be beginning. 1 Nor is he one particular student: he is the embodiment of many. I once knew a typical forgotten student; but I can ' t remember his name nor what he looked like. — Scribblers Script. (36) THE CLASS OF I936 npHE history of our class has been a most interesting and eventful one. As a Freshman Class, we first came into the campus spotlight when we were so cleverly represented at the Annual Stunt Night. This good work was carried into our Sophomore year. We received international fame through the efforts and athletic ability of our own Dudley Wilkins. This year, as Juniors wc have been busy making plans for our Junior Prom. The first one in years. Through the tireless efforts of our Ways and Means Com- mittee: Frederick Savoie, Chairman, Myrtis McCutchan, Alice Songe, and Louis Bourg, our Prom was made financially possible through the proceeds of the Junior Prom Fund Program, a most delightful program pres:nted in the auditorium. And, as a fitting climax of our Junior activities, is the entertaining of the Seniors at a very cleverly planned and arranged tea in the Cypress Grove. The of e greatness or our class lies m the greatness or its constituents. of ; ! - - OFFICERS Louis BoURG President Desmond Colvin Vice-President Pearl Bond Secretary mi Madeline Bienvenu Treasurer (37) Aylmer Adkins Homer i; n A Wilbur Allen Dry Prong A K Marie Ardizone leanerette Gaynell Beadle Lafayette AsHTON Beraud Lafayette James Alexander Opelousas 2 n A Emile Arceneaux Lafayette Ernest Ashurst Indian Bayou Jeanne Begnaud Scott N 2 K Allen Bernard New Iberia Mildred Bickham Jackson N 2 K Madeline Bienvenu St. Martinville A B i: Myrtle Billieaudeaux Eunice Pearl Bond Alexandria V ' V I (38) o I HUGHIT BOULET Crowley Louis Bourg Jeanerette T 2 A Aristide Breaux Carencro Paul Breaux Church Point Annette Broussard Breaux Bridge N i; K Beverly Broussard Lafayette Maurice Broussard Lafayette Preston Broussard New Iberia Justine Bruner Alexandria A E N Arthur Carmouche Hayes Edward Clements Rayne 2 ri A Edward Cloutman Lafayette IzoRA Cole Lafayette Desmond Colvin Dubach u Walter Courville Eunice Rose Culotta Lafayette Wirt Culpepper Crowley T ■ Robert Cunningham Lafayette T A Charles Cyr Jeanerette Louie Cyr Jeanerette Mildred Dauterive Breaux Bridge Marie delaHoussaye Jeanerette V V V Katie Delcamdre Derouen A E N Verna Delino Henry Norbert Deshotels Kaplan T i; A Marion Dickson Hattiesburg, Mississippi T i: A Marguerite Doerle New Iberia Richard Eastin St. Martinville a Lester Edwards Shreveport Daniel Egan Crowley 2 11 A Ethel Englade Lions Jeanette Etie Sulphur N 2 K Maurice Fall New Orleans Marcella Fatherree Lake Charles Flora Belle Faulk Crowley LOVINA FONTENOT Welsh Murphy Fontenot ViUe Platte Joyce Garlington Grant Mary Louise Girou rd Broussard Raymond Givens Lafayette Lewis Graham Jasper, Texas Beverly Guirard St. Martinville A 2 u (41) Randolph Hall DeRidder Leo Hebert Branch Wallace Ingalls DeRidder Lawrence Jacobs Reserve Elbert Jeter Crowley Louis Hanley Lockport Lucy Hoffpauir Lake Charles Earl Jackson Longville Paul Jernigan Lafayette 2 n A Anna Keever Sulphur Mines N i: K Grace Kisler Lake Charles Lois Knighten Lafayette (42) Genevieve Labbe Broussaru Lee Lafosse Crowley Greene Lambert Jennings i Elberta Landry Crowley A E Marguerite Landry Abbeville V V V ' Glen Launder Alexandria 2 ri A Francis LeBeau Hermitage Denux LeBlanc New Iberia Genevieve LeBlanc Lafayette Lloyd LeBlanc Abbeville i: 11 A Melva LeBlanc Lafavette Otho LeBlanc LeBlanc M ilH u (43) Sidney Ledet Abbeville Lawrence Levert Thibodaux John Lincecum Selma i; ri A John Love New Iberia Myrtis McCutchan Lake Charles A E N William Martin Gueydan Anna Grace Melancon Lafayette Margaret Melancon Lafayette Daniel Mestayer New Iberia Rhodus Morrison Zona ASK Mary Napoli Lafayette Sidney Naquin Lafayette R (44) Algie Nettles Dry Prong MiNOLA PaRRA Lafayette Martha Perkins Jackson Olen Reed Iota Joe Reeves Lake Charles T 2 A Clyde Rougeau Lecompte K A Waldron Oubre Darrow Paul Pavy Opelousas Sadie Proctor Jeanerette Bertha Reeves Lake Charles Edith Robertson Opelousas A E Martin Samson Crowley T i: A u (45) c William Sargent Morse : II A Erma Scott Oakdale N : K Russell Shirley Lake Charles A i: K Herman Sigler Grant Marie Louise Smith Ridge Alice Songe Morgan City Emilih Soulier Lafayette II A Edward Sl ' ir Erath K A Harry Snatic Lake Charles 2 n A Hilda Sonnier Delcambre Margaret Stewart leanerette A 2 Frank Summers Abbeville I K A (46) Carrie Sundbery Houma N i: K Earl Terrell Lafayette Lloyd Touchet Kaplan • Vivian Vidrine Opelousas Joseph Villien Maurice Orrin Wenzel Lafayette A i: K Samuel Wilder Crowley Dudley Wilkins Crowley T 2 A Heartsease Wood New Orleans William Woodruff Washington Esther Rae Young Dayton, Texas Martin Zaunbrecher Rayne u N (47) i WINGS Fledgling Wings — Soaring shak ' ly abore the airports As nervous apprentices fight the controls And wonder if they will ever solo.

THE CLASS OF 1937 T ' HE Class of 1937 in its Freshman year contributed to the general activities of Southwestern. This was due to the able leadership of its officers: Burl Logan, President; Marjorie Hartman, Vice-President; LaVerne Cooper, Secretary; Ed- ward Boutte, Treasurer; and Robert Caldwell, Reporter. During the year 1934-35, the Sophomore Class emerged from the ranks of Freshmen with the same spirit of helpful cooperation characteristic of it in the year 1933-34. The Class has taken an active part in scholastic and extra-curricular activities of Southwestern. One of these has b:en the organization of the Red and White Circle. This has been composed of Sophomore honor women students. Though the social activities were somewhat limited the members enjoyed a de- lightful Class party.

Its snugness and easy comfort Have meant much, these months, to me. But no verses of solid furniture And white curtains dotted with blue Can tell of the souFs satisfaction This room has given to me. This is a psalm of my love For the room that is more than a room. It is a sanctuary, and a friend — A Symbol of help and of kindness Extended to me by strangers. To me, a wealthless mortal. Yearning for more than existence. This room has been more than a lodging. This is a psalm of the four walls — The four walls and the roof of a room. I — Scribblers Script. THE CLASS OF I938 C ELLOW Freshmen, as a class we have done well, but self-praise is usually con- sidered as biased. Therefore, we will not expound upon our many virtues, but will state, as modesty, and, indeed, as truth directs, that we are yet young, weak and inexperienced. But what we lack in wisdom, age, or strength, we make up in loyalty and love for Southwestern. The cry of Bullpups was heard everywhere. To this responded the making of love to the gate-posts (and co-eds) , saying speeches, singing songs, and doing other stunts to the music paddles playing upon palings and other places. The Freshman Class made a brilliant record in all the sports they participated in, which were, namely, football, basketball, tennis, boxing and track. The main social activities were a weiner roast and a Freshman Dance. So ends the 1934 section of the history of the Class of 1938. Next year if the fates be willing, we shall be sophomores.

Wil- banks. A former resident of Homer, Louis- iana, Coach Wilbanks has been directing the Bulldogs for several years. The team got off to a slow start this year, being handicapped by injuries and sickness. But after midseason Coach Wilbanks changed his system of play, and at the end of the season, the Bulldog squad could hold its own with any team in the conference. Coach Wilbanks ' system of play emphasizes ball-handling and deception, with forward passing an important factor. The team ' s defense was practically impreg- nable when the going got tough. With the material he has returning next year, Coach Wilbanks Wilbanks will probably come into his own and be recognized as one of the better coaches in the S. I. A. A. At the beginning of the 1934 season Fresh- man Coach J. C. Reinhardt was promoted to the position of Assistant Varsity Mentor. Coach Reinhardt was consistently successful with his Fre.shman teams, losing only three games over a period of three years. Coach Reinhardt proved to be of great assistance to Coach Wilbanks and was an important factor in the development of the team into a power- ful aggregation at the close of the season. kblNHAKlM FOOT Tom Bickham Here ' s your man that could make the varsity at any college or university. Tom has been one of the mainstays on the varsitv for the past three years and he wound up his ca- reer this year in a hiaie of glory. He has proved that he is as good an end as he is a tackle. During his football days here at Southwestern, Tom has been picked on several all-oppo- nent teams and has received AU-S. I. A. A. mention. He was the winner of the 1933 Cambre trophy for the most valuable football player and his team-mates elected him honor- ary captain at the end of the 1934 sea.son. Luther Perrin Jinx is the name. Here ' s Southwestcrn ' s bid for national fame during the 1934 sea- son. Luther politely intercepted a Stephen F. Austin pass behind his own goal and raced 105 yards for a touchdown — even Red Grange recognized this great little player on his weekly radio programs. Perrin was noted for his snake-like antics on the gridiron ' cause when the Jin.x got loose his hips went flying. Perrin ends his career this year. Bert O ' Donnell Tarzan is one of the numerous members of any football squad who, as a guard, must bear the brunt of the attack and yet bi overlooked when glory is handed out to some elu- sive back for whom he has cleared the way. Coming to us from Pearl River Junior College in 1933, Tarzan has been a mainstay in the line ever since. He is extremely fast, and when he pulls out of his guard position to run the mtcrference, he paves the way for many long gains. O ' Donnell is one of the fourteen Seniors on this year ' s squad. HoYD Brock Crooner Brock is a real football plaver. He is one of those boys who puts everything he has in the game and he never says quit. Brock is one of the Homer boys who has fol- lowed his mentor. Coach Wilbanks, to Southwestern. Brock was handicapped this past sea- son with injuries, but when he was in the game he plaved his consistent, bang-up game at center and backing up the line in the fashion that onlv Brock could perform. Hoyd is one of the Seniors who finishes this year. Edgar Higgins The Bulldog from Homer, who has, for the past four years, been one of the outstand- ing players on the Bulldog squad will be no more at Sli, ' cause he is one of the Seniors who finish their football days at Southwestern. Bulldog is a remarkable halfback and it was in the Sam Houston game that he reached his peak and gave a performance of how drive and weaving should be done on the field. Bulldog will be sorely missed next year and it will be many a year before his beautiful work on the field will be forgotten by Southwestern. RvAN Jeansonne In his high school days, this boy was known as the Cottonport Flash . At Southwestern, he is known as one of the fastest and shiftie;:t men on the field. His dizzling speed and run- ning back of punts gave all of the enemy teams all that they could handle this year. He was noted for his excellent broken field running and his coolness in battle. Ryan terminates his football career this year. Buster McMurry Here is another lad that Southwestern will lose this year and will find very hard to re- place. Buster is one of the coolest quarterbacks ever to don a suit. His brainwork pulled the team out of many tough spots and his elusive broken field running accounted for a great many of the Bulldogs ' touchdowns. Buster , who is one of the most popular men on the campus, hails from Homer. .Albert Zock Zock calls Lake Charles his home town. A quarterback who always keeps his head and whose peppy chatter urges his teammates to greater effort, Zock has been outstanding. Zock runs with a galloping gait, and pa.s.ses while galloping backward, sideways or from any angle, yet his airline heaves are extremely accurate. The passing combination of Zock to Honey- cutt won several games for the Bulldogs this season. I B A L L (127) FOOT John Honeycutt Honeycutt, who hails from Bonita, is one of those boys who can do anything 0:1 the field. He speciahzes in kicking extra points and handUng passes, and he possesses the abil- ity to make a man who runs with the ball feel very inferior, ' cause when Honey hits them, they stay hit. Honey used to be a fine halfb.ick until the Thanksgiving Day game at Nor- mal in 1935, when he blossomed forth as a star end. Eddie Douglas Who said that a small man can ' t play football? Here ' s Eddie Douglas from Parrish, Alabama, and you ' ll have to travel far and wide to find a better end. Eddie is a deadly blocker and a hard tackier. He goes down on punts as it should be done and catching passes was one of the things that Eddie could do to the coach ' s delight. A. T. Delcambre Speed and plenty of it is what A. T. was noted for. Delcambre was a natural at skirt- ing the ends when speed and body control was needed. A. T. shows the Bulldog .spirit in a characteristically picturesque fashion. He ' s headed for his la.st session, but already he has blazed a path as one of the sweetest runners at SLY . Eugene Cella Cella is from New Rochelle, New York, and we think that his friends back home heard on several occasions when that extra vard was needed, the cry, Give it to Gene and Gene got it and you can bet that extra yard was made. When that barrel-chested, muscular, 190 pounds of fighting spirit got going, the opponents had plentv of respect for him. We know that the entire student body is sorry to see this master fullback wind up his career. Joe Stewart Joe Stewart knows football. Add to this knowledge speed, alertness, power, tremendous forward drive with mobility and we have the kind of tackle coaches pray for. Just such a tackle was Joe. But what was especially noticeable in Joe was his dependability. Stewart was no in and outer and could be depended on to turn in a good performance every time he stepped on the field. Joe Stewart has played his last game under Southwestern ' s colors. MosBY Lindsay Last year Mosby was one of the star ends on the Bulldog squad, but this year he turned out to be one of the star halfbacks. Reason? He ' s a mountain of power and speed and very capable of giving a good representation of him.self with the be.st men in the S. L A. A. circles. Lindsay played superb football until the Stephen F. Austin game when he had the misfortune of breaking his hand, laying him up for the rest of the season. Mosbv is from Lafayette. LaRue Donald It was never difficult to pick Slim out on the field for he towered over the rest of the boys in a big way. Slim was a bang-up tackle all during his career. The big boy could get down on that line and stop the best that the enemy had to offer. LaRue is from De- Ridder where they evidently grow them big ' cause he ' s six feet and a model of masculine build. Cassie Bass Of short, stocky, build, but making up with power and fight what he lacked in weight, Cassie Bass was the spark plug of the team. Football is something sacred to Cassie and when he digs his cleats into the turf he becomes a fighting dynamo. During his four years at Southwestern, Cassie ' s never say die spirit and his encouraging and peppv chatter have pulled the team out of many ruts. Southwestern will always remember fighting, versatile little Cassie for what he was — a great player and a great little guy. Aylmer Adkins The hardest and most important assignment on the football team is that of the block- ing back. He paves the way for the ball carrier, and, in spite of his importance, is seldom rpoken of. One of the greatest blocking backs ever to wear the Red and White is Shorty Adkins. He leads the interference and yet so seldom carries the ball that often he is over- looked when honors are given. Shorty also bore the brunt of punting this season. His punts averaged forty yards for the year. (128) B A L L OelckAtT b re Dorvevld (129) FOOT Beverly McCullough Playing his first year of varsity football this past vear, Beverly McCullough has gained quite a reputation. Although the team boasted of two veteran ends, McCullough broke into the line-up on several occasions and showed up well at the terminal position. Harry Saucier It would be hard to name a more likeable member of the team or one more popular with the Southwestern rootmg squad than Handsome Harry Saucier. Harry is a big and hefty tackle. He was only a Sophomore this season, but he made the regular tackles work hard to hold down their positions. Great things are expected from Saucier next year. Grefne Lambert Greene is the possessor of a muscular frame and with that frame he can do anything. When he blocked, he battled ' em completely, and when he charged he ripped holes in oppos- ing lines. This Bulldog has another year and we feel sure that next year he will be playing first string and his home, Jennings, will recall when he was a member of the famous Jen- nings Hi teams that burned up high school competition for many years. Clirry Moreau He is a sophomore and he has already played a goo d part of the games and has given an excellent representation of himself. Curry, whose position is end, could block out the op- posing tackle on offense in the way that it should be done and on defense, the enemy never rounded his end. This big boy has two years of varsity playing ahead of him. Russell Shirley Here ' s Brock ' s understudy who got his chance to show what he had this year at center. Shirley, who can shoot the old pigskin back to the backs like a bullet, weighs 180 pounds and everyone of those pounds are in there battling from the beginning to the end. He was a power on defense and the ball carriers were always confident that the ball would get to them in the right manner when Shirley was handling it at center. LeMoyne Plauche LeMoyne is one of those short, husky fellows who are known for their ability to take it and dish it out. Plauche was a fighter of the fearless type who was a thorn in the enemy ' s side when they tried to get through him. He was always relied on to be a good trainer and also to turn in a good performance in all of the games which he did in a big way. He hails from Piaucheville. Lawrence Jacobs Here ' s a tower of power, a 190 pound tackle, Lawrence Jacobs of Reserve, Louisiana. He ' s just another unsung hero of the line. Jake could really hold down that job and when the enemy wanted to come through his side of the line, the big boy would say NO! and he would mean it — and how. Sam Feriitta Fertitta Figure as he is known to those of us who have been around Sli for a number of years, is another of those big boys who knows how to play football. Sam is from Lees- ville, Louisiana. Frank Summers Here i ' one of Johnny Morriss ' boys from Abbeville who not only knows how to step over the hu-dles, but also how to handle a pigskin. Frank combines size, power, and speed to make one of the finest all around players on the squid. His strength wrecked anything in his way on defense and on offense he knew how to keep his men out of the plays. Sum- mers has another year on the team and we are sure that next year he will bz one of the shin- ing lights on Coach Wilbanks ' crack team.

He is from DeRidder, Louisiana. Slim is one of the best centers Southwestern has ever had. He never misses a tip-off. The basket is almost impregnable when he is in the guarding position. Donald com- pletes his career at Southwestern this year. Buster McMurry The human bundle of fire, fast, a good shot, and how he can dribble! The talker-upper of the team. Buster is an all around man, tucking under three letters at the close of the sea- son ' s contests. McMurry is a member of the wrecking crew from Homer, Louisiana, the home of the fast and furious boys. Another man who will be sorely missed. Buster leaves Southwestern this year, but we feel that he will always be in our midst. Luther Perrin One of the fastest and most versatile members of the squad. Kaplan, Louisiana, is the proud domicile of this young man. Perrin is one of the best forwards in the conference. He can emerge from any crowded situation. Does he miss any shots? Sometimes I must say that he does, but notice the answer remains nt sometimes. Raymond Rupert Rupert has completed the last and the best year of his college career. He was the spark- plug of the 1935 quintet, he is also a proud possessor of that never-say-die spirit. Rupert is one of the most aggressive forwards ever produced at S. L. L Again we are indebted to Kaplan, Louisiana, tor sending us this sterling performer. Raymond also terminates his col- lege career this year. Herman Sigler Sigler presents an almost impregnable guard to every opponent. He can cover half the court with one hand. Herman comes to us from Grant, Louisiana. Sigler seems to have an obsession for free throws, this is his customary way of adding points. Ah! We do not lose this man — he has another year, and should prove an important cog in the 1936 aggregation. MosBV Lindsay ' Purely a local product, that ' s what Lindsay is. He hails from the city of Lafayette. Mosby is a very good defensive man, endowed with the fighting spirit which is indispensable to any athletic team. He is a cool player and his shots at the basket seldom went foul. Lind- say has another year on the squad and we are sure that he will again star for the red and white. Raoul Landry Cow as he is known to his friends, is another Lafayette High man. He is the pos- sessor of a body beautiful and also has remarkable control over it. His shots at the basket were good and his ability to get down the court was unexcelled. Cow is a sophomore and he will before he ends his days, be one of the shining lights of Bulldog Basketball. Leon Smith Smith, who hails from Longville, is a guard of rare ability. He was noted for his abil- ity to keep a man from shooting and also for his coolness on the floor. He has been a faithful trainer and a loyal Southwesterner. It is men like Smith who make for better team- work and better sportsmanship. J. Y. Duncan Here is another one of those three-letter men. He ' s a crack end on the football squad, a trackster who will put in his bid for national fame this year, and a nifty basketball player. Dune has the ability to play and he puts his heart and soul into the game. He is from Ale, andria and he is a credit to both his home town and Southwestern. Harry Saucier Little Harry , who is another Lafayette product, is one of the most good-natured and best-liked men on the squad. Harry didn ' t get much chance to show his talents this year, but just the same he was always there and raring to go whenever Coach called on him. He ' ll be back with us next year, and I ' m sure you ' ll see more of him in action than ever before.

L A. A. circle in manv a year. There were many thrilling games in which that well-known last-minute turn-over, which unfortunately went too frequently against the local boys, was the deciding factor. The team played the fast-break fashion and it was the burning pace the boys set that kept the enemy and the grand- stand on their toes. The team work, passing and rhythm of the plays was good indeed. Old man Jinx was in there on the floor during most of the games, but all and all the boys gave a good representation of themselves and Southwestern.

Individually and collectively, the Frosh basketeers functioned as smoothly and ef- fectively as a veteran squad. Coach Naquin was sorely handicapped by a scarcity of material, but the team made up in spirit what they lacked in material. The boys worked hard on the floor and they had worked out a very good passing game, and the fast-breaking style of plaving that they used netted them many goals off of the unknowing enemy. CHAM ALONG with the name of Chris Cagle, nationally known football player, and Johnny Morriss ' internationally known hurdles star, the name of Dudley Wilkms will go down in the annals of Bulldog ce- lebrities, as one of the best athletes ever turned out by S. L. I. Wilk ' ns began his career as a Crowley, Louisiana high school sophomore in 1930 He broke the state high school hop-step- and-jump record in 1932, establishing a new record of 48 feet, 1 inch which holds to this day. Since then he has specialized in the hop-step-and-jump and the broad jump exclusively. He entered Southwestern in the fall of 1932 and was undefeated during his freshman year. r- H Dudley Wilkins Among the outstanding feats Wilkins has accomplished are the following: Won Southern A. A. U. Title, National Ju.nior Championship, establishing present record of 49 feet 4.8 inches, and the National Senior Championship, as a sophomore. When the time came to choose a track team to represent the United States in the Orient, the National A. A. U. did not hesi- tate to select this Stirling performer from S. L. L He toured Japan with a team composed of such notables as Glenn Cun- ningham of Kansas University, Charles Hornbostel of Indiana University, Walter Marty of Fresno State, John Anderson of Cornell Universitv, Gordon Dunn of Stan- ford, Frank Crowley of Manhattan College and several other internationally known stars of the track. On the strength of this enviable record, he was chosen as a member of both the All- American Track Team and the All-College Team. Southwestern is proud of this son who has brought such fame to her and she is looking forward to the selection of the 1936 Olympic Team with the hope that Wilkins along with Morriss will again wear the red and white as representatives of Southwestern and the United States of America. Coach Brown has a right to poke out his chest if he happens to be doing so. In 1934 he turned out one of the finest track teams that has ever represented Southwestern on the field. After having swamped all of the S. I. A. A. teams in Louisiana, Coach took his team to Pineville to compete in the Third District Meet of the S. I. A. A. This strong and colorful array of track and field !-tars piled up a grand total of 66 ' 4 points, the nearest rival being Louisiana Normal with 30 ' 4 points. The Bulldog tracksters P I O N S • placed in every event, and had it not been for the adverse weather conditions, the red and white would have undoubtedly taken the meet with the highest score ever to b made in its history. The Southwestern freshmen made it an All-Southwestern Day by walking away with their part of the meet, piling up a total of 80 ' i points to Louisiana College ' s 42. Coach tiien took his team to Baton Rouge to compete in the Southern Track and Field Championships and the boys again came through. The Bulldogs placed second in the Junior meet with a total of 48 points and third in the Senior meet with a total of 10 points. In this meet, S. L. I. set a new record for the 1600 meter relay with the team composed of Delcambre, Orillion, Clements, and Landry time 5:20.5 and a new record in running broad jump by J. Y. Duncan with a leap of 24 feet ' 4 inches. Season ' s Record Southwestern 80 ' : La. College 31 ' ,4 Southwestern 7 ' 5 La. Normal 42 Southwestern 88 ' , La. Tech 22 ' , Third District S. I. A. A.

Coach Browne While talking about the unusually successful track team of 1934, it is proper to mention the coach of this team, the guiding hand which led them to a cham- pionship — Coach R. L. Browne. In spite of his numer- ous duties as Athletic Director and in S. L A. A. circles. Coach Browne took the time to develop Southwestern ' s greatest track team. FRESHMAN TRACK The 1934 track season brought many good men to Southwestern and these men composed a team tint was characteristic of the fine teams that Southwestern has always been noted for. The Freshmen completely overwhelmed the competitors at the annual S. I. A. A. District Meet at Pineville with a total of 80 ' 4 points and Louisiana College second with a total of 42 points.

McLAur:iN Mrs. Joyce H. Dalferes Mrs. Vfsta R. Bourgeois Hcitd of the Department Instructor Instructor The Womcn ' .s Athletic Association of Southwestern cooperates with the Department of Physical Education by promoting a practical health program of sports for all wo- men students. In addition, the organization with its purely voluntary membership has a far-reaching purpose of its own. The association is concerned only with vol- untary participation in athletic activities, laying special emphasis upon those which may be continued after college days. As a member of the Athletic Conference of American College Women, the associa- tion is pledged to non-participation in inter-scholastic games and is active in the movement to abolish the highly competitive games which have been found to result in the physical detriment of adolescents in secondary schools. The Women ' s Athletic Association, through its varied activities, aims to cultivate an enduring sport habit in women students of Southwestern until all are participat- ing in sport — for health, for skill and for fun. Ruth O ' Brien, president; Myrtis McCiirchan, vice-president, and Marie Donlon, secretary, were the officers chosen last spring. 19 3 5 PHYSICAL EDUC On February twenty-second, the members of the W. A. A. were hostesses to all women students at their annual colonial ball which was held at the Elks Home. A formal garden scene formed an attractive background for the costumed dancers. The judges, Mrs. C. S. Gaiennie, Mrs. Helen M. Ogdcn, and Mrs. Paul Dclaup awarded costume prizes to Mar- jorie Fontenot and Virginia Ingram. Yolande Poche and Mane Young won the minuet contest and Ruth O ' Brien and Merriel Thcriot won the old-fashioned waltz contest. On February twenty-second and twenty-third, the association was hostess to the visiting high school basketball teams. Twenty-four officials were furnished for the games sponsored by the E. tension Division of Southwestern. c ION FOR WOMEN .AA r r f li sliliL Remaining events on the W. A. A. program include intramural tennis, basketball, and baseball games upon which occasions the dormitory and town teams will participate. Stunt N-ght, Gym Night, and the Cypress Grove pageant are all annual events yet to come. The awarding of the emblems at the final W. A. A. assembly in May will close the program of the association. Physical Education for Women includes the many and varied activities for the better development of women students. Tennis, basketball, archery, and dancing form the major activities of the department and the pictures above show the manner in which these are carried out. fwfi m- CHEER LEADERS Myrtis McCutchan Myrtis lead yells for three years. TIic little girl contains much pep, and is a loyal sup- porter of Southwestern. She is undoubtedly the mo.st representative girl on the campus. Whenever the crowd slowed up in p2p, Myrtis was always the one to give the students that leadership that is expected of good cheerleaders. Miss McCutchan wears a Delta Epsilon Nu pin, and is looked to by many of the or- ganizations on the campus as a natural horn leader. JiMMiE Lee Bishop Jimmie Lee is a very popular little girl on the Southwestern campus, and do the men yell for her when she appears wearing the Red and White to lead our boys to the top. Miss Bishop is a member of the Nu Sigms Kappa sorority. This is her first year as varsity cheerleader, however she led the Bullpups in her fre.shman year.
