Adams...............................................President Albert A.

C. C. from several states to begin their last sojourn here. At the beginning of the winter term five more joined our happy throng, and five more who have been teaching are numbered with the class. Numbers do not count so much within themselves, yet when the character and records of the individuals of the class are taken into consideration, the class feels that it is justified in con- sidering it a distinct honor to be the largest class that has ever graduated from A. C. C. Out of this group of fifty friends and companions, there are nineteen who have plodded, played and journeyed together through four years of pleasure In the class of ’25 one can find every type of student and scholar. Some have won distinction in fighting for the Purple and White in athletics; some have very creditably displayed their abilities in the field of forensics; others are journalists of note; some are graduates of expression and are actors and actresses Though the class has worked hard and faithfully, always striving to uphold as a group of happy boys and. girls, who can forget their “Senior Dignity” and get real pleasure from the many picnics, parties and meetings of the year. In view of the many happy moments spent in A. C. C., it is with much sadness and hoped that in the years to come, the success of the individuals, in their various fields, will pay the debt of gratitude which they owe to their Alma Mater.

Vice-President The Junior Class has for the past three years played their part in all phases of the life of A. C. C. with zeal and enthusiasm. Since only eight of the twenty-nine members of the class are of the “weaker sex,” the boys are not trodden upon, but rather manage affairs in accordance with their own ideas. The class of ’26 boast five football letter men, of the season of ’25, three of the purple and white cage men, two members of the A. C. C. quartette, and are equally representative in all other activities. Should the Junior Class continue as they have begun, we are confident that they will be reputable representatives of A. C.

From this assembly of more than forty students we have, therefore, athletes, debaters, singers, readers, preachers, musicians, optimists, and beauties to support the institutions of the college and to maintain the standards always set forth. We expect great accomplishments from the Sophomores and are eagerly watching them grow in knowledge and wisdom. —58— Frf.d Ashley Forrest Baker E. L.

Secretary The class of ’28 is the largest class in the history of A. C. C., not only in numbers but as representatives in all school activities. Four of the football lettermen, and three of the basketball, and three base- ball men are Freshmen. In the Fine Arts department the Freshman class is in evidence, having a number of splendid readers, talented singers and musicians. One of the members of the quartet is a Freshman and that is proof of their ability. The College Beauty is a member of the class of ’28. This class shows that in the years to come it will uphold the ideals and the reputation of the college and will keep pace with the growth of the institution.

It answers our soul’s deepest problems, reveals Jesus as our Friend and Saviour, and is spiritual food essential to life in Christ. In Abilene Christian College we wish to bring our students into a deeper appreciation of its Author. The courses are so arranged that all students who desire may pursue a series of studies which will give a survey of the entire Bible, emphasizing the background, contents and message of each book. This course calls attention to certain outstanding facts of history, impresses many .great lessons, connects the chain of books, tells the story of Jesus and reveals the plan of The second year’s work is a microscopic study of the entire New Testament. Special study is given to certain portions of the text and the student is urged to read all of the twenty-seven books three or more times with care. Much of the material is discussed in class and the spiritual interpretation of the person and influence of Jesus in the hearts of believers is emphasized. The more difficult problems of the Old Testament are presented in the third year’s work, the three terms being given to the history, poetry, and prophecy of the Hebrew people. Many lessons of permanent value are impressed and the way is prepared for a better understanding of Jesus as the Messiah and Saviour. The advanced New Testament courses deal with the deeper problems of the person of Jesus, the plan of salvation, the kingdom of God, and our work as Christians. A special series of courses deal with the teaching of Jesus and the Holy Spirit through the apostles and other writers. An analysis of the material is made and conclu- sions drawn from the text regarding many fundamental problems. Brother Baxter offers certain topic courses of value and the evidence of Christianity are considered. The Bible presents Jesus the Christ, the Son of God and claims our atten- tion as God’s blessed and eternal Word. Let us exalt this book and worship our Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit, searching the Scriptures that in them we may find a revelation of Jesus and coming to Him we may have life, keep God first, love our neighbors as ourselves and be saved eternally.

Basketball had its beginning in the early days of the school when inter-class and inter-society games were played on a dirt court. Then, with interest in the cage sport increasing, Wildcat Cage, a floor enclosed with wire netting, was built in 1921 and two match games with Denton Normal were played. The season of 1922 pro- duced a Wildcat team to be proud of. Every team met was beaten, though the series with Canyon Normal was split. Coach Payne had a high class cage aggregation in 1923, but was handicapped by having a limited schedule to play. The year of 1924 marked the entry of the Wildcats into the T. I. A. A., and A. C. C. made a very creditable showing. Six of the ten conference games were won, leaving the team with a percentage of .600 in the column of the association. The season of ’25 opened with a bright outlook for the Wildcat cagers. Five letter men were returning, along with some good transfers and more than the usual amount of experienced high-school material. Seven of the eleven games played were won; six of these victories were over T. I. A. A. teams, which leaves a standing of .600 in the percentage column.

Brown, a student in Abilene Christian College during the years of 1923 and 1924, we wish to show our appreciation for his an artist; and especially the splendid work he has done for the previous year books. He was a de- voted Christian, and though modest and reserved, he was very sociable and made the friendship of ness fell when they learned of his death on June 11, 1924. SxSSSZ 83S£ The Art Class Personnel of the Expression Class: Left to right, first row: Mc ay, Neill, N. Brown, Expression Class Each year the students come to realize more the need of expression for their future success. And the passing year witnessed a remarkable growth in this branch of the college curricula. The enrollment has increased so rapidly that it has become necessary to employ an assistant for the coming year. Together with the talent from the dramatic club, Brother Brewer has been able to present some excellent programs. Rebecca McKay is a senior in the work and is the only member to graduate this year. Lula Lawrence, a graduate of the department, has taken a post-graduate course throughout the year. Along with the regular outline of work, Brother Brewer is teaching a make-up class, and under his instructions, the art of character-making, for the stage, is defi- nitely emphasized. The College Quartet As an agency for the spread of Abilene Christian College’s fame, the Male Quartet has probably made more progress than any other student organization. Under the direction of Miss Myrtle Dunn, head of the voice department, it has been developed into a musical organization which is recognized as one of the most splen- did in Texas. Try-outs for places on the quartet were instituted three years ago by Miss Dunn. Prior to that time the faculty had boasted a good quartet. Members of the organization are kept busy filling engagements at banquets, community programs, conventions and giving concerts in many places each year. A radio concert is broadcasted from a Fort Worth station each year and scores of messages of praise are received. Ernest Witt and Ernest Walls have sung on the quartet for four years. Albert Walls has held his place for two years and Cullen Willis has just finished his first The Domestic Science Laboratory For several years Abilene Christian College has had a Domestic Science and Art Department with Miss Lylian Arledge as the able instructor. Prior to this year the Domestic Science Laboratory was in a small frame building on the northwest cor- ner of the campus where McDonald Hall now stands, and the Domestic Art Room occupy the entire space in Daisy Hall basement, fully equipped with new material consisting of a dining room, kitchen cabinets, stoves, desks, machines, cutting tables, measuring tables, and a library. The Domestic Science and Art classes are much larger than they have ever been. Among the subjects which are taught are cooking, sewing, home manege- ment, house planning, interior decorating, textiles, home nursing, diatetics, and designing. The Optimist The Optimist is a weekly publication, and is edited by students elected by the :ss Club. This paper represents all sides of the student activities in Abilene ristian College, and it ranks unusually high among the college papers of Texas.

Harding Literary Society SPRING TERM OFFICERS Leslie Neill.......................................President Eudell Blasingame..................................Secretary Herman Campbell...............................Vice-President The opening of the present school year marked the beginning of unprecedented growth of the Harding Literary Society. Heretofore the Hardings have been con- tent to run a poor second to the Zellners as to numbers. But this year there was an awakening, and a campaign was made, which resulted in the Hardings obtaining a membership almost equal to that of their sister Society. The rush for membership is not the only accomplishment of the Hardings. Dur- ing the present year their training in social and literary events have been unequalled by the past sessions.

During the session of 1919-’20 the society was divided into two sections, that of the boys, and of the girls, but held meetings in joint session twice monthly. This, after two years, was discontinued, and it now has a regular weekly joint meeting. in 1920.

Walls.....................................President Maude Lanford.......................................Secretary Aubra “Peter” Banowsky .... Vice-President The Zellner Literary Society, though an organization of which to be proud and to which to be loyal, stands for the advancement and development of the school as a whole. The primary purposes are to train the students in dramatics, forensics and literature, as well as the methods of organization and parliamentary drill. Its aims are, not to professionalize some individual or small group, but to give practice to the entire membership in these various forms of methods and entertainment. —138— The “A” Club The “A” Club is an honorary club in nature, yet it has a definite purpose. Only those who have creditably represented the school in some form of student activities are eligible for membership. However, it is the purpose of the “A” Club to include members, the “A” Club has enjoyed a growth of membership until it now has more than sixty names on its roll, including the graduated members. Last year the “A” Club assumed leadership of the drive to build a gymnasium which has been an eminent need of A. C. C. for several years. Working in coopera- tion with the entire student body, it has overcome seemingly unsurmountable ob- stacles; but with hard work and careful planning they have succeeded in building the modern gymnasium which stands on the campus today. This accomplishment will stand out as a living memorial to the “A” Club. And the leadership in the building of the gymnasium is a fitting climax of the achievements of the “A” Club. —140— College Debaters T. C. U. AT A. C. C.

The Dining Hall Club Eugene Kraner.................................President Nell Chism....................................Secretary The Dining Hall Club gained great prominene during ’24 and ’25, due to the fact that its personnel are the mediators between the food and the students of A. C. C. This organization surpassed all others in rendering real service to the student body. The members believe in work of the best type but their time is not all taken on duty for it is said: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” While this is their motto they do not carry it to the extreme. And the club is indebted to Brother and Sister McKenzie, who, through their efficient leadership, have made it a success. —143— DIRECTORS HONORARY MEMBERS Thomas Davis Riley Banowsky The Twin Six Away back in 1922 when ten of the above understudies of Jesse James were members of the Freshman Class, two of the number who had been counted with a similar organization in their high school days, came out of the land of Wichita Falls, here organized “The Royal, Ancient, and Scientific Order of The Twin Six, Klan No. 2, Realm of A. C. C.” Since that date the hours of peaceful repose en- joyed by Professor W. Earl Brown, keeper of the Mulebarn and the men’s new dor- mitory, it is safe to say. have been very limited.

The Concho Tribe Marvin Carr...................................President Maude Lanford.................................Secretary Mr. and Mrs. Scruggs..........................Sponsors The Concho Tribe includes all students in A. C. C. from the Concho Valley, and its surrounding country. This club was organized in the early fall of 1924 with about twenty members, some of which do not appear in the above picture. This is an in- creased number over any previous year, from that section of the state. It is the pur- pose of this happy group not to isolate themselves from the other students, but merely to form a closer connection between Abilene and the Southwestern part of the state.

Motto : “Climbers.” Callahan County, “The Eden of Texas,” has shown her interest in Abilene Chris- tian College by the large number of students she has kept in school. There has never been a year in the history of the institution when Callahan County has not been represented in the student body, and for a number of years she has had one or more representatives in the faculty. It is the purpose of the club to work together in such a way that it will make A. C. C. a greater school, and to do the most possible good for each of its members. —149— Left to right: First row—Jordan, Baldridge, Damron, Lovinc. Second row—Gilley, Neill, Locke, Humphrey.

C. C., and has furnished her share of the students. With almost every class there is one or more of its members leaving A. C. C. with the Sheep Skin, never to return again as a student. But others come to take their places and the club seems to grow instead of becoming smaller. Many of the leading stud- ents in the different activities of college life have come from this club and we are expecting even greater things of them in the future. It is the purpose of the club to keep A. C. C. before the people of Hill County and to keep Hill County well rerpe- sented in the student body. “Yaki Hula Quartet” Along with Paul Whitman’s orchestra and even the wonderful music of our greatest pianist, we think of this quartet of young ladies as being second to no one or group. Their entertaining ability is unsurpassed and when they finish a number there are always applauses that carry with them appreciation and desire for more. Being always ready when called upon, they entertain at society programs, social gatherings, and are always ready to serenade the inhabitants of the McDonald Hall. The Working Club The Sooner Club TlDMORE...................................................President Mattox....................................................Secretary Beginning with the days when A. C. C. was a Junior College, Oklahoma has contributed young men and women to her student body. Not a single year has lapsed that she was not represented. Some have spent only a few years here while others have been members of the various graduating classes, and this year the Senior Class counts five Oklahomans in its membership. In order to further the interest of A. C. C. in Oklahoma, and because of the mutual feeling existing among the fellow Sooners, the “Sooner Club” was organized. Throughout the succeeding years the organization has been intact, and all those, from the state to the north, counted themselves as members. This year the “Land of Sun and Flowers” is represented by sixteen sons and daughters, who take part in the various activities of the school. —156— The Z. H. B. Club OFFICERS Irene Tidmore..................... Thelma Young ..................... Miss Nelson....................... Motto : B. ? U. R. The Z. H. B.s were organized six years ago and have since that time been kept con- stantly before the student body with their leadership and enthusiasm. Ties of friend- ship have been made stronger by the association of these girls with the student body.

It was deemed by many as the dramatic classic of the year. There was nothing serious in the whole play but its success was due to the humorous scenes which were created, and to the unusual acting which was displayed. The splendid work of Rebecca McKay and “Lefty” Forrester in the leading roles was the feature of the production. They were ably supported by char- acters of importance in J. P. Gibson, Lula Lawrence, Merle Alien and others. The cast worked hard on the presentation and received no small merit for their accom- plishments. Senior-Faculty Game President Baxter attempted a great April Fool stunt when he led his faculty out to Wildcat Park on the morning of April Fool’s day in an effort to subject the Seniors in baseball as in other things but the stunt failed and great was the slaughter thereof. The Teachers never seemed serious, even in defeat, and in chapel the next morning President Baxter was heard to make excuses for the manner in which his team conducted themselves. When intellect is considered, the faculty may be su- perior, but in baseball the Seniors demonstrated to the satisfaction of the professors that they are getting old and were inferior specimens of the national pastime as was indicated by the score of 12 to 5. —175— F ish—Inter-Class Champions Class rivalry was high around the campus at the end of the college basketball season when the interclass tournament was under way. The different classes organ- ized teams that played a very creditable brand of ball, and put up some very interest- ing games.

Abilene 'as represented by Jewell Young, Henry Hogg, Burton Coffman and was able to win fourth place among the colleges of the TURKEY-DAY GAME AND BONFIRE Thanksgiving Day was a very enjoyable one for all A. C. C.ites and boosters. That was the day that a very interesting, and some say a hard luck, football season was brought to a very successful close. The Wildcats clawed to a three to nothing victory over the Daniel Baker Hill Billies, in a thrilling contest from beginning to end. It was in this game that every player was a star, but Eck Curtis, playing his last game for A. C. C., brought the many spectators to their feet time after lime To celebrate the victory, a large bonfire was built on the campus at eight o’clock and the happy boys and girls gathered about it, singing the songs we love so well and hearing the stirring, peppy talks by the wind-jammers of the pep squad. “ ’Tis great to be in college.” FIRST GAMES IN NEW GYM See the Wildcats and Buffaloes play in the new Wildcat Gym: What a happy feeling that announcement brought to every individual connected with A. C. C. And on March 2, when the first game was played, this desire for a gym Wishing to see one of the best games in West Texas, and two of its fastest teams to play, the building was packed before the first whistle blew. They were thrilled just before the game when about fifty boys and girls, in a unique college dress, formed a “C” on the court, around a Wildcat, and stood at attention as a salute was fired. They were thrilled again as the game started and the battle was on. We lost both games, but A. C. C. fans will never forget the fight that was put up by the scrapping Wildcats. Another consolation was that we lost to the best team in the T. I. A. A. MIDNIGHT LAMENT “President Baxter wires Wildcats not to return home.” “Forrester escapes to Mexico; Leaves wife.” Such headlines as these give a brief introduction to the Midnight Lament, issued on April 1st. This caused considerable uneasiness on the part of a number of Freshmen, with a result of near heart failure, until by some wise upperclassmen the situation was explained. In the indictments of the Lament; the baseball oquad was said to have gotten drunk, which was encouraged by the coaches; government detectives had arrested Brother McKenzie for not complying with the Pure Food the keys away.” Staff: HEZA LIAR, Editor, WEED SKINNUM, Bus.
