Mgr., Chromascope, TO; Preliminary Oratorical Contest, TO To Our Sisters HE class of 1910 must now part, our interestsmustchange from one to many; but each of us will retain that same | priceless heritage, memory. Sweet memory, of the days of our Senior year which you, our sisters, have made the happiest days of our life. To say that your kind words of sympathy have sweetened our bitter disappointments and lightened our trials, that your homelike hospitality hich burst forth in each of our hearts, gratitude we can never hope to repay, but may this un- n us be to some slight degree recompensed by the thought ;ide each of our lives better and happier, that in each of e a friend whose memory of you shall grow sweeter with passing years. That naught but health, happiness and prosperity may accompany you through a long life is the fondest wish of your brothers of Senior Directory History of the Class of 1910 is merely the record of an institution’s devotion to a le. Every organization has some purpose in view— ireeminent ideal, to which are shaped all other ideals, -on which are concentrated all its powers. As it departs from, or adheres to, this ideal, so its threads in the pictured tapestry of history weave a more or less fluctuating course. In such of smaller organizations, as college classes, the principle is usually put in concrete form, and to it are moulded the actions of all the members of that class. Then standing upon the last step of their college career, they may look back, marshalling before them memories of the past, and silently judging of their adherence to the faith. So we, the Class of 1910, having mounted the hill of college education, pause for a brief mo- ment before commencing our journey over the broad plateau of life, to re- consider our acts, filing them past in silent array, for your praise or your censure. “Not quantity, but quality.” We began our College life with the usual quota of men. Some have dropped out, voluntarily or not; some the cease- less revolving wheels of Fortune have forced from our path. But as in the body the loss of a member is compensated for in the increased activity of the other organs, so in our Class the loss of a member has been the cause of a corresponding concentration of energy and determination in the others. The names of our Class may be found enrolled in every department of college activity; very few, to be sure, in each; but each with a record. There is not a member of the Class who has not represented it in some honorable contest; perhaps unsuccessful, generally otherwise. But all this lies behind us. With the help of many kind friends, with many stumbles and mishaps on the way, we have reached this, the first stage of our life’s journey. We stand now at the steps of the Temple of Fame. Looking below, we see many others toiling along our recent road; looking up, we see the bright pillars of the Temple of Fame gleam- ing in the rays of the morning sun. Shall we stop and mingle with those who throng around us on the plain of every day life, or shall we ascend the lofty flight of steps which shall place us at the doors of the Temple of Fame? It rests with us. —Historian. Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class ? ? ? ? ? Junior Class D. H. Mebane J. S. Sleeper President Vice-President R.F.Cleveland R. F. Gribble J. W. Boyle C. A.

Olsen, w'hom God in His infinite wisdom took from our midst, on the 29th of January, 1910, this page is dedicated. Mr. Olsen was born in 1886. He became a member of the student body in 1907 as a candidate for the gospel ministry. By his loyalty to the various organizations to which he belonged and his sterling character, Mr. Olsen won for himself the friendship and admiration of the faculty and the stu- dent body. In his efforts to secure an education he was pressing forward in face of many difficulties to a goal which promised a life of usefulness to his fellows and credit to himself. Mr. Olsen was a lover of music and an adorer of flowers which stand as a reminder of his life and character. It can be truly said of him that he was always diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving his Lord. The many friends whom he has left to mourn his departure stand as a monu- ment, testifying to his worth and his nobility of character. 65 rKi:stmi Freshman Class W. H. Foster L. D. Amis H. C.

YE EDITORS OF THE CHROMASCOPE: HONORABLE SIRS: It is with great pleasure that the Freshman Class asks for a little space in your most excellent annual that they may give to its readers a few of the many events which go to the making up of the so-called “History of the Freshman Class.” On the morning of September the fifteenth, nineteen hundred and nine, we charged upon the campus and pressed forward until we had reached our goal, the Chapel. Here we heard the commanding voices of the instruc- tors who were to preside over us for the next few months. Ere we escaped this place we had scratched our signatures in the “BIG BOOK” under the oath of obedience to the rules and regulations of the College. Our march continued until we had crossed the “Hall of Fame” and entered the Library. Here we met the various duties which confronted us as to classification. On with the march into the adjoining room which later became our horror, the Math Room. We were feeling “down in the pockets” when we were re- leased from this place for in some way we had been relieved of our surplus cash by the most extractious “BUSTER.” After arranging our classifica- tion we were in readiness for the midday eatables. On the following morning the students assembled for regular Chapel exercises and steady work has since continued; and now credit is given the Freshmen that they have the best English Class which ever faced our emi- nent instructor. Realizing this fact he has placed upon us a new and heav- ier course which we are ably carrying. Again we are leading in the path of progress when we decided to in- troduce the wearing of Freshman hats. Heretofore the classes above us had proudly marched around with their colors topping their corporeal anat- omy ; and so it was not long until a Freshman was equally distinctive. In Athletics we have done our part. We are represented on the Foot Ball squad by six men, two of whom also represented us on the First Team. In Baseball we took the honors from the Juniors who had never lost a game. Were I granted the space in your Publication it would require many pages to give the principal events which have occurred among us. For you, the Seniors, the Class of ’13 wishes a happy and successful life. lOderly, yours in the flesh, —H. I. Storian. Sub-Freshman Class Aude Sapere R. D. Richards President M. H. McDaniel B.

Successful and popular cap- tain. 90 Football Sponsors Baseball Season of 1909 The 1909 team made a remarkable record in number of games played, length of trip and the consistent work which they did throughout the sea- son. They were handicapped by lack of a heavy hitting outfield and by the fact that the coach was compelled to leave them before the season had fairly started. On their long trip they lost two catchers, an outfielder and their second baseman and captain on account of injuries or illness of relatives, and this told heavily on their percentage of games won. But on the whole, the team of 1909 played high-class ball and made an excellent reputation for itself among Texas teams. Two of its pitchers have gone to league teams and are making good. Following is a record of their games: Austin College 0—at Austin, 6 in. rain Austin College 3—at Austin, 11 innings Austin College 1—at College Station Austin College Templeton, Mgr. Read, Press Agt. Parker Weatherford Gribble Malloy Salm, Coach Rigler Ramsey Wilson Henderson McDaniel Cary Perry Colville Baseball Season 1910 Baseball Squad, 1910. Track Team. As the Chromascope goes to the printer, the track team has begun its workout under the efficient direction of Coach Rix, and gives promise of being a credit to the institution. This will be the first year that Austin College has gone in systematically for track work, and in spite of the fact that the work is new to many of the students, considerable interest is being manifested. A number of men are out for the runs, distance events, jumps, pole vault and weights. The State Track meet is to be held in Sherman in May, and it is hoped that this will so stimulate interest and enthusiasm that track work may be made a permanency in Austin College. Officers D. H.

Owing to the fact that it was impossible to hold match games in the gymna- sium because of its lack of seating capacity, and hence finances made it impracticable to bring other teams here, or for the team to secure games elsewhere. A good squad worked out through January and February, and excellent material was developed for the coming year, when it is hoped that the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium will be open. A number of promising players were found among the students, and an excellent showing was made. The squad was coached by Athletic Director Rix, for two years captain of the Dartmouth basket ball team. Officers W. H. H. Moores ,1. H. Gillespie Captain Members McDonald Neilson H. Parker W. E.

Tennis The Austin College Tennis Club at present consists of a few enthusias- tic followers of the game. The lack of funds due to small membership and the low fees is responsible for the existence of no more courts than at present. Last year sufficient interest was manifested to hold a creditable tour- nament among the classes. Plans are being made for a college tournament to be held during commencement. We look forward to a great increase of in- terest following the advent of a general instructor in Athletics. Officers J. K. Alexander G. T. Robinson Clyde Eagleton J. B.

From a mere handful of en- thusisasts, it has grown year by year until now it comprises a chorus of thirty voices, among which are two quartettes and an octette. Every year two or three trips are made. This year it is the purpose of the management to arrange several trips and to give concerts in a num- ber of the leading cities of Texas. In addition to this the Glee Club assists in the various public programs of the College Literary Societies and gives at least one public entertainment in Sherman during the year. During the Fall term the Club practices faithfully and by the time of their first public appearance have mastered their repertoire in a very creditable manner. No other one thing has so materially assisted in advertising the college throughout the State as this organization. Aside from the value of the Club in assisting in the public programs and entertaining the public, the training received by the individual members in voice culture and the ability to read music readily at sight is of inestimable benefit to its members. Great credit is due to Prof. G. E. Case for his untiring efforts and skillful training which has made possible the success which the club has attained. The Glee Club Officers C. H.

Cabinet The Young Men’s Christian Association aMONG the many organizations of Austin College, the Y. M. C. A. stands foremost because of its uplifting and cosmopolitan in- fluence upon every organization which it touches. It can, doubt- less be said that there is no one in the student body that has not in some way been affected by its energetic leaders. Thus, it can easily be seen that a body of students banded together for the betterment of their associates is a most important factor in the life of an institution. In the twenty years of its experience many changes have taken place. Profiting by the!r knowledge each Cabinet has tried to excel its predeces- sors by better devised plans and more definite work rivaling its competi- tive colleges. Its splendid development has kept pace with the college, in- creas'ng not only in power bi t in prosperity, furnishing leaders and work- ers in all enterprses. Strengthened by the splendid leadership, it owes much to the support of the many friends who are untiring in their efforts for its advancement. It is but due courtesy that the names of Prof. D. F. Eagleton should be mentioned for his constant and energetic assist- ance at all times. Without this our Association would not have the excel- lent standing it The existing condition theless, present themselvei and the immense barrier Those who attend at pres number. The students conduct the m distinguished visitors to address tl The Y. M. C. A. has under its immediate control two very strong or- ganizations, the Ministerial Candidates’ Association and the Foreign Mis- sion Volunteer Band. The former, twenty-eight in number has the man- agement of two very fine missions and a weekly service in the county jail; the latter, an organization consisting strictly of students who have dedicated their lives to foreign missionary service, eight in number, superintend three foreign mission study classes. There are also outside the college curricu- lum three Bible classes. The Volunteer Band is an entirely new feature in the life of the institution having as its aim the introduction of every student to an adequate knowledge of the great world fields and the influenc- ing of students to that service. Partly as a result of their ecorts, five of the above eight have thus been influenced. Between the dates December the 29th, and January the 2nd, the Y. M. C. A. had four representatives at the extremely wonderful and remark- able Convention of the great Student Volunteer Movement at Rochester, N Y. In these few days in an assemblage of 3200 students representa- rs is encouraging. Two problems, never- oor regular attendance of our meetings the indifferent and Christian classes, hough faithful, are extremely small in anselves having frequently tives from 700 institutions of Canada and the United States, they were able to become imbued with the great theme of The Evangelization of the World in this Generation” from the lips of experts from all over the world. The effects of this quadrennial national convention of Rochester cannot be overestimated. Among the several enterprises which the Y. M. C. A. and its organiza- tions are trying to promote, few are of so much importance as is the erec- tion of our splendid Association building. After many months of hard work by a traveling representative and the many prayers and constant aid of the host of friends of many years, the building now stands within a few weeks of completion. This will place our Association among the first in the State, being the first of its kind to lay a cornerstone. It will contain social parlors, reading rooms, a gymnasium, a natatorium, and other features of the best equipped Y. M. C. A. building. The past year is of intense interest to the life of the Association. The erection of our building and the introduction of the spirit of missions are the two most important results. The Cabinet, with the aid of the enthu- siastic president, has been alive to its responsibilities and serious problems. It is now to its hearty co-operation we invite the students and friends to a more definite and zealous support, that the different problems may be over- come and that men may be trained for God in the great avenues of life. —Secretary.

Wilson •Deceased Sketch of the Athenaum Society ERSEVERANCE conquers ’ how nobly is this old saying i proved as we glance for a moment at the evolution of the Athenaeum Society. Far back into the dim past, yes as far back as ’89, all Ath- enaeums look with admiration at the noble fight that was made by their predecessors to establish their beloved organization on a sure foundation. Truly may our hearts be filled with this admiration and love for those brave warriors who fought the good fight and placed us on a footing as of solid rock. Our foundation was sure and therefore our success was inevitable. For twenty-one long years have we struggled upward drawing at all times closer and closer to that coveted goal, perfection. It is true, these years have not always been bright, in fact things have at times looked very discouraging, but all have worked, and worked with this aim in view, the fiercer the contest the more glorious the victory; how could we have failed past, that the Athenaeum Society of today stands as a living monument of those who have done their duty and gone forever. It is the present with which we stand face to face and in which we must work if we expect to raise the name, “Athenaeum,” to the next round in the ladder of success. We realize more than anyone else that there are several more rounds of this ladder to reach, but the topmost one is in view, and it is worth our strongest effort to push on until we reach it. But why is this true? In a few words—the world today is calling for men, men who can talk as well as think. The class room trains the man to be a ready thinker; the Society, to be a ready speaker. The class room furnishes the theoretical; the Society the practical. Combining these we have the ideal College man, a trained leader of his fellows. This, if nothing else, should be stimulus enough to spur us on to attempt greater things for our beloved Society. It is true we are not sleeping, in fact we are accomplishing greater things than ever before in our history, and things that would have caused a shudder to pass over our predecessors had they ever thought of undertak- ing them. But let this not cause us to become too proud and over-confident; let us remember that we are only reaping what others have sown; and may our victories render to us only the necessary inspiration, and our defeats cause us to work with more zeal. When such is the case, then it is that we must grow with never slacking speed until we shall reach the very heights of success; so, rise dear “Garnet and White” to thy topmost round where you may be seen and adored by all.

Ramsay Turnbull Wood The Philennoian Society c 'HE heart of every Philennoian is justly imbued with pride and nobly inspired by the history of the Philennoian Society. A retrospective view reveals the history of our society written in the hearts and lives of its Alumni members and in the college life of those now marching under its banner of “Black and Old We are proud of our home where we meet from week to week, and we open wide its doors to those who will make our spirit and purpose theirs. Nor would we forget to express our sincere thanks to our friends and honor- ary members for the active part they have taken in our society work, and for the inspiration and encouragement we have received from their pres- ence. Our hope is that they may continue to make our lives those of hap- pier and more useful Philennoians. In regard to our society work in general we are convinced that if we should neglect it we would be deprived of the best and most profitable part of our college life. From the time of the founding of our society its mem- bers have inherited from year to year that spirit which prompts an honest effort and knows not the meaning of “I can’t.” The programs of our so- ciety, consisting of papers on current events, essays, declamations, ora- tions, debates, and music, offer ample opportunities to every member for a thorough development of his talents. Aside from this is the opportunity of becoming proficient in the knowledge and use of parliamentary law. We count it more than a duty—yea, a privilege—to gather in our hall each Saturday night and strive for that knowledge and development which can- not be found on the pages of textbooks. Those who have gone out from our walls and have taken upon themselves the responsibilities of life are bearing witness to the fact that society work, done in the true Philennoian spirit, means the production of broader and better men whose lives shall be crowned with success. Our ambition is not gratified merely by our victor- ies in contests, but by victory in the broader sense—that of doing our best with whatever talent we may have, for the broader development of our minds and for the glory of Austin College. In recalling to memory the record of our achievements we would not forget that true success lies in doing our best, and that is it really the brave man who accepts defeat gracefully. And, as true Philennoians, let us remember that our motto is—“Sine timore, sine culpa;” and whatever we may do in the future let us do it “without fear and without blame,” that we may ever bring honor upon the “Black and Old Gold.” —A.

The two literary societies which have been organized for many years were not capable of accommodating all the new students who were desir- ous of entering into the literary work. Under such conditions a new society was planned by Prof. Delaney and carried to a successful Quite a number of preparatory students met in the college chapel for the purpose of bringing into existence the plans formerly made. The meeting was opened with great enthusiasm on the part, of those gathered for such a noble purpose. The question of a name for the society came before the house and after a warm discussion the name, “The Thompson Literary Society,” was adopted in honor of Capt. J. M. Thompson who had contributed so generously to the support of our college. The purpose of the Society need not be dwelt upon. Our motto, “Great oaks from small acorns grow” fitly describes our purpose. It is to instruct young men in literary work, to raise up men to a high degree of knowledge, to cultivate their taste so that they may go forth into the world and ac- complish great things in every branch of human endeavor. This Society which has been in existence for only a short time has ac- complished much in the eyes of those who laid its foundations. The weekly programs show wonderful improvement. Declamations, orations, readings, and last, but not least, the debate, test the ability of the students engaged. The debate is perhaps the most instructive and inter- esting part of the program. The students engaged, with an earnest desire for victory, go to the deepest sources of knowledge for their argument. As a result, the spirit of investigation is developed as well as the faculty of oratory. Our prospects for the future are even brighter than the past. We realize that to acquire knowledge is not to waste time and to acquire a diversity of learning is our greatest ambition. Our work for this year is done. The foundation of agreat work has been laid. The efforts of our founders have been recompensed and the noble career of our Society shall be written in letters of fire in the golden pages of its history. 124 —Sr. R. T. G. W. R. Hall L. A. Wight Intercollegiate Debaters USTIN COLLEGE and Trinity University have for a num- ber of years been rivals on the Athletic field. That the physical development might not be too strongly emphasized and to encourage literary effort, a debate between the two institutions was arranged to take place in Sherman, No- vember 25th, the date of the annual Thanksgiving Football game. The debate was held in the Sherman Opera House; a large audience greeted the contestants and enthusiasm ran high. The question for debate was: “Resolved, That the policy of substantially increasing the Ameri- can Navy is preferable to the policy of maintaining it at its present strength and efficiency.” The affirmative was ably defended by Messrs. D. H. Templeton and F. A. Chapman of Trinity University, Austin College being represented by Messrs. W. R. Hall and L. A. Wight, defending the negative. The Judges, Hon. Tom W. Perkins of McKinney, Prof. W. F. Barnett of Van Alstyne, and Prof. G. W. Austin of Whitewright, rendered their decision in favor of the negative. It is expected that this debate will be an annual affair. 125 R. F. Cleveland J. W. Hickman 126 Winners of the Inter-Society Debate The season of contests between the two I'terary societies opened on February eighteenth in the annual debate, the contest which, next to the Preliminary Oratorical, is most highly prized. This year it showed that same enthusiastic interest and friendly rivalry which has always made these contests such an attractive, important factor in student life. The winners, R. F. Cleveland and J. W. Hickman, representing the Athenaeum Society, defended the negative of the question: “Resolved, That our present policy is preferable to a more extended system of shipping sub- sidies.” The affirmative was ably defended by C. S. Ramsey and Alexan- der Gray of the Philennoian Society. The Oratorical Contest The Preliminary Oratorical Contest is held each year on Texas Inde- pendence Day for the purpose of choosing an orator for the State Contest. In the contest of 1910, first place was awarded Mr. W. R. Hall, Philennoian. Mr. Hall won the Preliminary Contest in 1909, securing second place in the •State Contest at Waco, his subject being, “Lee at Appomatox.” He will represent Austin College in the Texas State Oratorical Contest which meets at Waxahachie, April 15th, 1910, with his oration, Education and Reform.” The Mothers' Club Kangaroo Kourt Desiste non uti flagro COLORS FLOWER Black and Blue Bull Nettle Officers His Honor......................

Kangaroo Kourt XF you have tears, prepare to shed them now while you list to a tale of woe unfathomable.” So remarked J. William Shakespeare in h;s touching and pathetic little ditty entitled Tails of a Wayside Hen. Speaking of tears brings to mind the method of irrigating used by the farmers of Southwest Texas, and, as the primary ob- ject of this production is to fill space, kill time and to beat Ananias at his own game, it is in order to give it with apoplectics to all who have been so m'sfcrtunate as to have heard it. They plant a row of potatoes and a row of onions, then another of potatoes and another of onions and so on. “But” you may say “how does that irrigate?” Well, to elucidate and expedite, the onions cause the eyes of the potatoes to water and exude sky juice and this, overflowing on the adjoining land, keeps the ground moist and enables mother earth to yield her increase prolifically. However, nevertheless, notwithstanding, on the contrary, though, it is sincerely hoped that this, to speak diabolically, paregorically and metaphorically, may not be such an onion to the eyes of those who may have such degraded tastes and propen- sit;es as to read this, as to cause them to turn to Niobes and dry farmers. But the story to be told is merely an account of the proceedings of the Supreme Kourt of Kangaroos as narrated by a criminal marsupial who was subpoenaed to appear before the aforesaid bench. As truth is stranger than fiction, the endeavor will be made to deal only with the familiar side of the question “at bay” lest any one should be confounded. To prove the foregoing, the exact facsimile of a letter written in the unfortunate victim’s own handwriting (you need not laugh and say that that last is tautological; n , was not Uncle Tom’s Cabin written by Harriet Beecher’s toe?) to his father on the cold gray dawn of the morning after, is given herewith. Dear Pa:—The awful night is past. I have gone through the ordeal, - rd I am but little the worse for it, except that I am branded for life, that I am rais’ng a new crop of skin, and that I am taking my meals off of a mantel. Excuse me a minute while I go expectorate. I was just remem- bering the soap I had in my mouth last night and every time I think of it, I have to spit. Well, myself and a number of other new students received a very cor- dial invitation to be present at the waiting room adjoining the handsome (???) court house of the Kangaroos. Of course we all, with fear and trembling, accepted, especially since we would be compelled to go anyway if we didn’t go of our own unfree wills. I was among the first called in to stand trial. I was blindfolded and led into the presence of the August (or September I should say) assemblage, stepping about like a cat on whose feet are paper boots much to the amusement of the crowd of onlookers. After being branded, I was unblindfolded and made to put my hand on the Judge's foot and swear “to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you over the fence.” I touched his pedal extremity rather gently especially since it was very muddy, but His Honor must' have an awful large crop of tender corn growing on his feet for he threatened to .rack my cocoanut for pressing so hard on his number elevens. The Judge then interrogated me as to my capability and eloakability for performing and, onbeing told that I could do nothing, ho commanded same. Although I did not quite comprehend the trend of his remark. I performed the turning around part and unintentionally did the rest by do- ing nothing. Whereupon he ordered me to deliver an oration on The 4«- � ««l Cansamptim, of Chiyger Rib , Gnat Whiskers, ami Snake Leys hi Ame rica.'' I was standing on a little platform and was just opening my mouth to do my best on the subject, when some one said “Close your mouth, we can see your sox” and at the same moment I received a good sprinkling of Wiggletail Soup—alias, water—in my physiognomy. Simultaneously with the aforementioned events, my feet were suddenly taken with a pious thought and showed an unexpected propensity to soar heavenward to their celestial abode, my center of gravity shifted, due to the sudden removal of my terra firma, and I quickly found myself studying the beauties of astron- omy, discovering a second milky way and several new comets. I was gently (?) lifted and told to justify the report being circulated that I was a mocking bird. I explained to His Honor that if I were a mocking bird, 1 was a female, for I couldn’t warble. He replied that if I couldn’t warble, maybe I could wobble. I didn’t quite discriminate be- tween his two words and thought he was crazy or didn’t know any better. However, I began to give them a very pathetic, as well as peripatetic (for it was truly rambling), rendition of “Home Sweet Home” hoping to work on the sympathies of my auditors. But evidently they were not in the same frame of mind as I and their thoughts must have been far from home; for they drowned my angelically seraphic melody with hisses,shouts and groans. His Honor asked me if I called that singing. I said that it was the nearest approach to it I could give. He answered by hurling an enthymimic syl- logistic condition (by permission of Noah K. Davis, the great logician) at my cranium as follows: “If music be the food of love, and if that be music, then may love die of starvation.” I was also told that I had a good butter- milk voice. What that is you will have to infer for yourself. I cannot en- lighten you, except to tell you to remember my voice and maybe that will help vou. 1 was then asked if I had ever had ancestors, antecedents, or predeces- sors. I said, “No, Your Honor. I have been vaccinated and take a bath once a month, whether I need it or not. That is why I am free from them.” He next asked me if I had ever had any trouble in legal matters. I replied Only once Your Honor. That was when on my way to Austin College. 133 The train ran over and cut off the tail of a little dog and I picked up the piece of tail and with bandages, glue, etc., managed to fix up his tail again. When I got to Sherman, they had me arrested for retailing dogs without license.” “That was a very heinous crime,” said the Judge “and I expect I ought to add five hundred more to your penalty when settling time comes.” I was next requested to give a specimen of my official cognomen, using my nose as the writing instrument. I strenuously objected to thus em- ploying my proboscis, but suddenly recollecting that the pen is mightier than the sword and that the Judge’s paddle is mightier than either, I did it to the best of my ability. When I had partaken of some very peculiar turkey which didn’t set well on my stomach and had made love to a boy who had Rameses or Socrates skinned a city block in their peculiar style of beauty, I was put to sleep over a gym horse to the tune that “reading and writing and ’rithmetic” were taught in “School Days. During this pro- cess, I thoughtlessly opened my flytrap and succeeded in voraciously ac- quiring a healthy chunk of that wonderfully palatable Grandpa’s Wonder soap. I got up foaming at the mouth but quaking at the knees. His Honor then told me to go back and sit down, if I could. I preferred, for reasons you may guess, to stand. So I went back and watched the other victims receive their degrees. After all had gone over the path I trod before them, the Judge called for special cases. Many grievous offenses received their just punishment. For instance, one boy charged another with sitting down in a chair on which he had his eye. I thought I knew a little something before I came up here. But the only thing that I do know now is that I don’t know much. I went to the math, class and the Prof, gave me the problem, “to square a circle.” I had to take my nickel out. I went to a Greek class and the Prof, asked a boy to give some letters of the Greek alphabet. But, Great Jumping Giraffes! The boy answered, “Alfred lammed a mule and ate a pie” and the teacher said “alright. I was getting balled up, so went to a Latin class and there I heard the Prof, say “Caesar sic cur at a post.” This was too much, so I tried chemistry. I was pretty well “bumfuzzled” by this time and I don’t exactly remember what a boy said in naming the elements, but I think this is something like it: “Gold, silver, copper, are gone (argon), Bis’ mouth (Bismuth) had tongues ten (tungsten.)” This knocked me out, so I went to my room and crawled in the hay, corn cobs and shucks. But the mos- quitoes are very large here and I was forced to protect myself by covering with a blanket. Three of them tried to bite me through the blanket, but, becoming frightened and being unable to extricate their bills, they flew off Ja ......... Speaking of bills reminds me that my cale seed are —Son. Officers R. R. Harwell E. S. Moseley p. A. Bryant N. O. Body T. S. Clyce P. O. Lice .

Wilson Pocola Untuckalo Oklahoma c HE new year of nineteen hundred and ten has ushered into the realms of college organizations a new and very interesting one called “Pocola Untuckalo Oklahoma” better known as “the twelve red men.” The Red Rose” State has for some years been represented in Austin College and her numbers have been gradually increasing until at last we are able through the War Whoop to remind the Long Horns” of Texas that the Oklahoma Red Skins have not all yet been transplant- ed to their happy hunting grounds. We would write for you our history but rather like the history of our own State, we prefer for it to unfold its own in choosing those who shall be so fortunate as to follow the War Paths which we have trod. In ’04-’05 Oklahoma was represented by only three members in the student body, while the next year saw our number double. From this time on to the present day one may notice a steady increase of the warriors who surround our camp fire. During the session of ’06-’07, although no increase, yet we held our own and the last two years show an increase of twice our former number, all eager for the betterment of themselves and the pushing forward the glory and honor of their beloved State. Today we have on our rolls the names of seventeen braves from the Red Rose State. Our Red men have shown their alertness in the persons of McDaniel and Little Tom Moore. An active part has been taken by the fellows in the Literary work of the college. Our Chief having appeared on several Inter-Society con- tests and this year with a pale face colleague won the Inter-Society debate on the night of February 18th. In fact you will find a representative of our tribe in every form of student activity in the college. Our motto “every Oklahoma man a brave” is self explanatory but it may be wise just here to give briefly our aim and purpose for the future. A club of this kind stands for a closer fellowship among the students from Oklahoma thereby binding us with stronger ties of filial affection and in- spiring us to yet higher achievements in all lines of work in which we may Through the “Pocola Untuckalo” we hope to inculcate a spirit of enthu- siasm in our band that should the time again come when we must string our bows and point our arrows to protect ourselves from the gore of the Texas Long Horn” we shall be prepared for the conflict. —Historian Dimensions op the Student Body Width Thickness Length Morris Neathery McFarlane Sex Pedes Motto Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature? flower colors “Highacinth” Chrome Green and Olive Yellow FAVORITE DRINK OBJECT Highball The Milky Way Club Song Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute endeavor By the side of the pale faced moon.

Smith Alumni Association BT the time we go to press, arrangements are being made for the Home-Coming which was authorized by the Alumni Association at their last meeting and endorsed by the Board of Trustees at their Mid-Winter session. An effort has been made to locate every old student whether a graduate or not. The Alumni have been somewhat hampered from the fact that the rolls of the college do not extend further back than 1892, and little record is had of the students who attended it in the early days at Huntsville and when the institution was first moved to Sherman. But many have responded to the request made by the Secretary that old students send in their names for literature and information. A strong program has been arranged for this event. Prac- tically one whole day is to be devoted to the Alumni including the Alumni Banquet and Address, class reunions, the business meeting of the Alumni Association, memorial services for members who have passed away since the last meeting, and the annual baseball game between the college team and the Alumni. At the last meeting of the Alumni Association, plans were made for the erection of an Alumni Auditorium, and the sum of $3750 pledged for this purpose. The plan is to complete the subscriptions on the occasion of the Home-Coming and begin work as soon as possible on the Auditorium. A number of other schools in the South have held successful reunions of old students, and everything has been done to make this event a thorough success. The Austin College Alumni Association contains many able men who are taking a leading part in the religious, educational, politi- cal and commercial activities of the Southwest. It is hoped that the spirit of loyalty aroused at the Home-Coming will continue to grow and that it will mean much for the college in future years. The Alumni Association is thoroughly organized, and is becoming a powerful factor in the life of the college. Following is the personnel of Pat E. Hooks, Itasca Hayden W. Head, Sherman W.

He has done much in his ceaseless efforts to beautify the place where we spend the happiest days of our lives. Volume XI, as a memento of our college days, would be incomplete without a por- trait of “Grandpa.” His cheery nature and ready willingness to perform the least service have endeared him to every student of the institution and to many of us he will long be remembered with the best friends of our college days. Yells College Election era] uncleanness, it was decided that compulsory bathing would be the most expedient and effective means of extermination. Mandy Owen and Turnbull hold the record as “hot air dealers.” Da- vies and Slaton were voted as the biggest eaters. Jack Lewis, Jack Ramsey and the rest of the jacks were the cause of Miss Lizzie Cleveland being elected as stable cleaner for Hinds Noble. In casting a look over the care worn, bewildered and wounded crowd of victims who had been pierced by the poisonous arrow from Cupid’s dart, every one with a keen discernment had to admit that Walter Elizabeth Long was nearest the grave. Walter admitted this fact but not without impunity as he was lectioneering for the votes on “dimples” but lost in favor of Jno. L. Alexander. Downs uses the most perfume; Abernathy the most soap and Neathery is without a parallel in history when it comes to being a “bore.” Jno. L. Alexander has the biggest feet and Donk Eagleton is the sweetest singer in A. C. In answer to “What is your favorite book?” pocket and check books seem to be most in demand but least in reality. Dreaming was voted the favorite past time. A number of answers were given as to the intention of students after leaving college. Some as astronomers carried us into their offices and pointed to us the net work of canals which they had discov- ered on the planet Mars; they measured to us the space through which the twentieth century air ships were to penetrate and carried us through such stages of research that caused us to forget that this was the earth. Others led us to the doors of the Senate Chamber where familiar voices, once that of college boys, were debating such questions as to whether or not air ships should be used in transporting battle ships in time of war. Still another intends to invent a way whereby his fellow students shall cease to live by the sweat of the brow but through the love of their friends. Such are the sworn results of the election of 1910, held on the memor- able 14th day of February. Grinds LiiTK- -RART Education and Reform © HE Twentieth Century is a century of promise. A few days ago Gov. Hughes crystalized in fitting speech the spirit of our generation: “The most signi- ficant feature of American life is not the widespread existence of evil, but the organized effort to check it; not political manipulation, but the indigna tion of the people at its abuses: not faithless legislators and administra- tive officials, but the resentment which they arouse and the narrowing range of their illicit activities. To the man who lives today, it is possible to expect for humanity: possible to have faith in every success for justice, truth ble to labor for the ultimate good with the cheerful incentive of a we should not forget that a mantle of ignorance is smothering the n: not tolerate a corruption that is rotting public enterprise; and we sh shudder at the spectacle of legislative halls and administrative offices, turned into market places, where the sacred rights of a free peo ‘ ' .................... hood and integrity of the American people; fi During the last century serious issues have thrust themselves upon us the ever-increasing tide of a world's emigration flows.

To such a conclave, few friends. In such a confederacy, where wholesale corruption is to the power of moral principle is no longer the guiding star.
