Muslard Seeds The Mustard Seeds fill a most urgent need on our campus. Since the war people have gone crazy-why? we do not know-but the fact remains that the people have gone crazy about hot dogs, candy, chewing gum, and cigarets. At athletic events especially does the crazed populace give vent to its passion for these rare tidbits. And so the good Scotch Presbyterians have capitalized on this urgent demand and have created the Mus- tard Seeds to supply and peddle the goods. And so it is, gentle reader, when you have been to a football game, you, no doubt, met a youth with a box of sundries fcold hot-dogs to ciga- retsj who accosted you thus: Hey, hey, how about your hot dog, ciga- rets, chewing gum, or candy? Has the little lady had her Milky Way or Hershey? He will accent every other syllable and do his best to make you feel that your nickel will pull the college out of debt. If you have had the misfortune to bring a Willie or a date of other doubtful nationality, I 1 she will place her hand on your arm and look so ap- pealingly into your e y e s w i t h her big, blue, limpid pools of eyes that you will either yield or feel that you have become a most debased menial' WILLIAM BoWERs Yes,it is his duty to filch y o u of your share of the coin of the realm. And should you have a nickel in your pocket when the game is over, if the little Mustard Seed knows about it, his whole day will be ruined. Personally-I have never brought more than four cents to a game in three years-that gripes them. , ' Front Row-Ccmn, Brcttten, Fisher, Harlan, Gordon Miller, Bowers, McClure, Sears twenty-one

Of all the pe- culiarities of the f o l k W a y s and mores of the stu- dent life on our fair campus, per- haps there is no eccentricity so an- cient, so revered, and so ribald as the Razzberries. E V e r y fall at the beginning of the school year a discerning student will per- ceive His Magnificence, the Grand Elderberry, snooping about the campus summoning his lit- tle flock together to consider the prospective berries. , FRANCIS RANDOLPH Shortly thereafter some twenty freshmen are duly instructed to carry with them a can of raspberries. This is the pledge pin and must be carried to and fro for a week-be it classes, date, bed, or bath, the can must be lugged along. After a week of such degradation, the now thoroughly cowed pledge is seized one night at the mystic hour of twelve and led forth tothe Razzlnern-nes m o s t inimitably nefarious cere- mony ever prac- ticed in the fair city of Fulton. If the pledge lives through the next agonizing few hours he will be l a r i g h t r o y a l S Razzberry and en- H titled to all the privileges thereof, . which are six in number. , 1. He gets his picture in the BLUE JAY. 2. He leads in pep meetings. 3. He falls for a Willie at a pep meeting. 4. She reciprocates his affection. 5. The faculty overlook his oddities for they know he is a Razzberry. CThey realize he is not responsiblej p 6. He loses his inferiority complex after the initiation ceremonies. 4 But let me drop the dark cloak of obscurity and say for the benefit of the more gentle and uninitiated readers that the Razzberries is the pep organization on our campus and does its best to cheer the teams on to victory.

V. Porchey, Morrow, Books, Holman, Tolliver 1930 Foollrall Season-conlinuetl heavier and more experienced opponents. At the start of the game the Westminster team playing straight football swept down the field pushing the big Rolla team back into the shad- ows of their own goal posts. When a touch- down seemed sure, the Rolla line tightened and repelled every Blue Jay thrust, taking the ball on downs one foot from their goal line. The VIRGIL PORCHEY, Guard, Crystal City, Mo. Like his brother, Virgil has sought and achieved honor on the football field. With two years left his development should be fast and great. J. B. Moimow, Tackle, Jefferson City, Mo. Morrow, a freshman, demonstrated his capa- bility to fill a position by his good defensive work. Although not playing regular he was a consistent blocker and frustrated many of the op- . ponents' plays. J. B. has only one more year at Westminster. HARRY HOLMAN, End, Fulton, Mo. For two years Nellie has been a dependable wing man and with the experience acquired should develop into a more than dependable player. twenty-two Blue Jays were on the offense the entire first half always threatening to score, but the Miners stopped every attack when a slip would have meant a score. At the start of the second half the famed Rolla backfield stepped into action and on perfectly executed plays scored a touchdown. The try for extra point was block- Continueol on page 26 LURIN Books, Tackle, Fulton, Mo. Whenever a man in uniform jumped from the bench and ran up and down the side lines with knees high, the opposition could look for plenty of trouble, as Books was about to go on the field. For two more years the opposing teams are sure of facing Wildman. KEITH TOLLIVER, Quarterback, Springfield, Mo. When he first ran on the field they laughed, but at the end of live minutes they were spell- bound. Why? Well, they had just seen a small, blond-headed freshman run, twist, and pivot his way through the opposing team for long gains and scores. Not even the mightiest men in the conference could keep him from going places with the ball. Billy, who was outstanding in every contest, has reduced Coach Stuber's worries for a quarterback to zero for the next three years.
