With a varied program attended by several hundred alumni and many distinguished visitors from through- out the country, the session commemorat- ing the Diamond Jubilee of the institution was brought to a happy close. Few col- leges in this part of the country can boast of seventy-five years of continuous service, and consequently the Diamond Jubilee celebration was considered an event of more than ordinary significance in the his- tory of higher education in the Southwest, as well as the greatest occasion in the history of Austin College. Many colleges and universities of America sent official representatives to Sherman for the celebra- tion and the presidents of practically all the leading institutions of Texas were on the campus for this unique event. The Jubilee celebration was officially opened on Sunday morning, June 1st, when the Rev. Walter W. Moore, D. D., President of the Union Theologi- cal Seminary of Richmond, Virginia, preached the baccalaureate sermon before the Senior class. In the evening the annual commencement service for the Christian organizations of the college was held in Sherman Hall. Rev. William Crowe, D. D., pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Saint Louis, Missouri, preached the sermon, which was broadcast through station WFAA at Dallas. At six o’clock in the afternoon the college band rendered a sacred concert on the campus. Many visiting alumni and former students were present for the first day of the Jubilee. The second day of the celebration, Monday, June 2nd, was set aside as “get-acquainted” day, and found many of the students of other years renewing friendships begun decades ago, and others getting acquainted with one another for the first time. The initial gathering of this day was the final chapel service of the collegiate year. This service was attended by members of the Senior classes of several neighboring high schools. The presidents of the four classes, Rev. W. W. Moore The Diamond Jubilee of Austin College Continued Historic Float in Jubilee Parade R. B. Newman, ’24; J. H. Lain, ’25; E. M. Weir, '26, and V. L. Tuck, '27, spoke briefly, following which the regular class progressional ceremony was witnessed, by which the members of the Diamond Jubiliee class were trans- formed into alumni. At this service also the Diamond Jubilee Chromascope was officially presented to President T. S. Clyce, to whom the book was dedi- cated. Garland H. Land of the class of '07 addressed the student body after these preliminary exercises. Athletic events of “get-acquainted” day consisted of tennis matches between Trinity University and Austin College on the caq pus in the morning and an alumni game in the afternoon, between teams, one repre- senting the Nineteenth Century and the other the Twentieth Century. Monday evening in Luckett Hall a banquet was tendered all men who had won their letter in some collegiate sport. The second day’s program was fittingly closed by the Jubilee Concert presented in Sherman Hall by the musical organizations of the college. Tuesday, June 3rd, “alumni day,” was featured by the annual meeting of the alumni association, on this notable occasion greatly swelled in attend- ance, and many class and group reunions. At two-thirty in the afternoon an elaborate parade was staged through the business section of the city. This parade, in which the faculty, members of the student body, alumni and visitors participated, and for which the city had been appropriately decorated, depicted The Diamond Jubilee of Austin College Continued the various stages in the development of the college by means of a series of floats. On Sherman’s behalf the parade represented the celebration of both the seventy- fifth anniversary of Austin College and the successful completion of the hundred thousand dollar campaign for Presbyterian colleges in Texas, from which Austin College will profit so much. Following the historical parade, Austin College defeated the Southern Methodist University 8 to 6 in a baseball contest at Cashion Fidid. The Jubilee alumni banquet, one of the high points of the cele- bration, was held Tuesday evening, with Dr. T. O. Perrin of Dallas as toastmaster. A popular alumni meeting in Sherman Hall followed the banquet. The principal speakers were three men who attended Aus- tin College before 1876, while the institu- tion was located at Huntsville. Colonel A. T. McKinney, son of the first president of the college, and the oldest living ex- student of the institution, of the class of 1853, spoke on the early history of the college at Huntsville, and of the work of the early pioneers who made such great sacrifices to sustain the infantile college. President H. F. Estill, of the Sam Houston Teachers’ College at Huntsville, dwelt on the growth of Austin College during the middle period of its history, in his address on “The Accomplishments of Austin Col- lege Ideals.’’ The third speaker was Colonel Thomas H. Ball, who also attended Austin Thomas R. Marshall College while it was located in Huntsville. Commencement Speaker He addressed the alumni and visitors on “Denominational Colleges and Christian Citizenship.” The famous Athenaeum Quartette of 1907 was revived for the occasion and constituted a pleasing feature of the evening’s entertainment. June 4th was the final day of the Diamond Jubilee and consisted primarily in the commencement exercises. Prior to the formal occasion, however, a student body meeting was held on the campus, at which E. D. Grant, of Nash- ville, Tennessee, of the class of 1920, briefly addressed the assembled students. The governing authority of the student body was officially transferred from Board of Trustees EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE T. S. Clyce, Chairman W. M. Anderson W. F. Galbraith C. S. Roberts judge J m.

Let romascope The Bridge Builder History of the Junior Class Officers: President.________________________SANFORD GILLILAND Vice-President____________________JOHN ANDERSON Historian_________________________DOROTHY FINCHER Let those who will of Seniors sing or Sophomores steeped in glory, Or fatuous Fishes—arrogant things—who cares to hear their story. Oh sing to me of that peerless class and I’ll rest therewith content. Yet know ye by these present—'tis the Junior Class ’tis meant. ’Twere easy to write of the Junior Class, acknowledged by all as the best. For the most trivial events of its history are subjects of interest. We matriculated three years ago, and the college began to improve. And since that time we have done our best to keep things on the move. Our multitudinous achievements I should like indeed to review But I feel a certain hesitancy in portraying how we outdo In all respects the other classes. To tell of our heroes Were to portray future leaders—a president—who knows. Our marvelous feats on grid and track give rise to admiration. Then too in oratory and debate we have our representation. Of the melodious Gleeists we’ve more than our share Of the Kangaroo band boys too who are wont to declare Our glory. In short where there's constructive work to do You’ll find among those interested a Junior leader or two. And when situations have arisen that demanded loyalty and zeal We've assumed responsibility and placed our shoulder to the wheel. We’ve given the best that is in us—there’s nothing we can withhold When services, e’er so slight, aid the Crimson and the Gold. How could one doubt we're an all-round class—some few likely would But for such we smile and quote. “The great are misunderstood.’’ And so. ad infinitum, we could disclose such facts Yet why make other statements—to add were to detract. My Creed To live as gently as I can; To be. no matter where, a man; To take what comes of good or And cling to faith and honor still To do my best and let that stand The record of my brain and hand And then should failure come to Still work and hope for victory. To have no secret place wherein To be the same when I'm alone As when my every deed is known; To live undaunted, unafraid Of any step that I have made; To be without pretense or sham Exactly what men think I am. To leave some simple mark behind To keep my having lived in mind; To be an honest, generous foe. To play my little part, not whine That greater honors are not mine. This. I believe, is all I need For my philosophy and creed. ROMASCOPB History of the Sophomore Class Officers: President.................. Vice-President.............

Soon after the opening of school we gave a reception for the new girls so that all might become acquainted. The whole effort of the council for the past year has been directed toward the furnishing of the girls’ study hall. Up to the present time they have purchased a rug, draperies, cushions, and covers for the backs of the chairs. We realize that we have made only a small start, but it is our sincere wish that the coming years may bring even greater progress. Girls’ Executive Committee Fincher. A. Baxter Dicke Fincher, D. The Davis Foute Eagleton Scholarship Society OFFICERS President ............ .J. M. HARDY Secretary...............W. W. BONDURANT, Jr. Colors: Green and Blue Motto: “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’ The Davis Foute Eagleton Scholarship Society of Austin College held its first meeting in January at the home of Dr. S. R. Gammon. At this meeting four students were elected into membership: Jacqueline Bailey. D. F. Kerbow, Mrs. Beulah McCaughey, and Mrs. C. C. Hayley. At a later meeting Prof. Francis Emerson, member of the Faculty Advisory Committee, was elected to serve as representative of the Society at the annual meeting of the Scholarship Societies of Texas, held at Huntsville February 21st and 22nd. In the first week in March Prof. Emerson entertained the society and made an interesting and instructive report of the business transacted at the Huntsville meeting. At this meeting many of the enigmatic articles of the constitution were interpreted and doubtful points made clear. Later in the year, the Faculty having granted the society permission to use its discretion in the application of the ranking tenth rule for admission to membership, several additional members were received into the society. The society was originally organized for the purpose of recognizing and promoting scholarship in Austin College, and in its meetings this purpose was stressed. In the multiplicity of organizations and clubs, this society stands alone as one whose members are elected purely on merit, and the winning of membership in it is a coveted honor and a praiseworthy achievement.

OFFICERS President____________________FRANCES WILLIAMS Vice-President_______________MAURINE MORRIS Secretary____________________DORIS EAGLETON Treasurer____________________NANCY McELREATH The literary effort of the Kappas for the past year has been centered in the study of the drama and poetry, and in the observation of special days. Among the dramatists and poets whose works were stduied were: Bernard Shaw, Pinero, Galsworthy, Poe, Burns, and Edgar Lee Masters. Other pro- grams included such studies as “Clowns in History—Romance—Drama, “Patriotism,” and special Thanksgiving and Christmas themes. The outstanding social event of the year was the banquet given in honor of the foptball squad, coaches, and athletic director. This was the first time the Kappas had ever entertained the football boys, but it was the hope of the members that it might be continued from year to year. Athenaeum Literary Society Bessie Baxter COLORS: Garnet and White MOTTO: Aude Sapere Having a majority of its older members absent from the society for the first few months of the year, the Athenaeum Literary Society started work slowly. However, by the opening of the second term the membership had increased and the workers were further encouraged by having secured the French room as a meeting place. Several new members of considerable ability and experience were taken into the society and gave it new life and vigor. Through parliamentary drill and constructive criticism on the part of the old members, others, less expe- rienced, have made appreciable improvement during the year. Two members of the intercollegiate debating team were mejnbers of the Athenaeum Literary Society and throughout the year in intersociety contests the Athenaeums have valiantly upheld the honor of the Garnet and White. The society sponsors. Misses Doris Eagleton and Bessie Baxter, through- out the year have shown their supreme interest and loyalty to the society and its activities. In the early part of February they graciously entertained the society at the home of Mrs. Cornell. The organization felt itself fortunate in its selection of sponsors for the 1925 session. Polka Hill Bagwill Townley, F. Robertson Park, W. Patterson Lazenby Frnka Hanna Currie Smith Barganier Gallaher BONDURANT NANCE Philennoian Literary Society COLOR: Black and Gold MOTTO: Sine timore, sine culpa The worth of any organization is measured by the service which it renders to humanity. We feel that the Philennoian Literary Society measures up to this standard, since each year it sends out men to take responsible places in the highest ranks of society. Not the least important is the cultural influence which it brings to bear upon the student life of this institution. As an outstanding revelation of what this society has been, is, and shall be, we need only to look back upon the careers of such prominent men as Dr. Vinson, ex-president of the University of Texas: Rev. Motte Martin, a mis- sionary to Africa; Dr. William Anderson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Dallas, and Dr. E. B. Fincher, noted minister of Amarillo, Texas. These men helped to lay the foundation as well as the formation of the prin- ciples of the society as it is today. As further evidence of the fruition of its labors, we mention the fact that the first Texas State Oratorical Contest victory for Austin College was won by a Philennoian in 1908. Succeeding years have shown victories of equal importance. We are not the least hesitant to trust the future of the society to the manifest faith of its members in their motto, “Sine timore, sine culpa.” XJIROMASCOPE Owen Wheat Taylor Bridges Solomon Lloyd May Badgett Wilkins Akers Ballard Griffin Schmitzer Pickett Young WOFFARD PARTLOW Byers Russell Fincher The Strollers “GREEN STOCKINGS Following the election of officers for the scholastic year, the Strollers made their plans for the year’s work. Professor F. W. Emerson, head of the English department, was again chosen as sponsor. Being an organization devoted entirely to drama, the club immediately took under consideration a number of plays for presentation. “Green Stockings,’’ by A. E. W. Mason, was finally chosen as the first production, and the work of choosing a cast was entered into. Several tryouts were held for new students who desired to join the club, and a number of promising candidates were received into membership. On March 5th, after a month’s rehearsal, the initial production, “Green Stockings,” was given, in which the guiding genius of the director showed itself in a fine light. It was given a favorable reception, which encouraged the club and spurred it on in the production of its next play given the last of May. In many ways the year was one of the most successful the club has expe- rienced in the three years of its existence, and much credit is due to Professor Emerson for his efficiency in guiding and directing the work of the club.

Its purpose is primarily to establish a better understanding and a better working relation between the insti- tution and the people of Sherman and to further the interests of Sherman students. Much positive good is accomplished by the Sherman Club and it is one of the real active organizations of the College, being ever ready to serve in any capacity which will work for the improvement of Austin College.

Lightfoot Director Raymond Dixon President When it comes to noise, music, and pep, the Kangaroo band has it. During the past year the band has established an enviable reputation wherever it has gone for its clean sportsmanship, its music, and, above all, the noise it can make in the way of yells. The band accompanied the football team on several long trips, first to Dallas for the S. M. U. game, then to Waco for the Bear scrap, next to Hous- ton, and finally to Temple for the Southwestern game. In Houston the band got so good that it was even put in jail for a time, but on account of unpleasant environment soon left. The Kangaroo band traveled as far during the year as possibly any other college band in the state, making a total mileage of approximately 2,000 miles. Back at home the band played for basketball, baseball and other athletic games, and has always shown that its pep was one hundred per cent. The Kangaroo band won the unqualified good will of the various athletic teams. Raymond Dixon, president and business manager, and Harold Phillips, secretary-treasurer, directed the business affairs of the band during the year. Mr. E. A. Lightfoot again served as a very successful director, with M. E. Fincher as assistant.

President______ Secretary______ .Charles M. Hill .. Richard Price The Kangaroo D. E. Temple N. W. Harris Editor-in-Chief Business Manager The Kangaroo is the student publication and is edited weekly during the scholastic year under the direction of the Junior class. The primary purpose of the publication is to give the weekly news of the College and to promote and stimulate journalistic endeavor. The Kangaroo is also a factor in unifying the ex-students of the institution. The Kangaroo came into being on Tuesday, June 2nd, 1920, when the first edition was issued. Previous to this time the Alumni Monthly was the only publication directly serving the students, and it was edited under the direction of College officials. The Board of Trustees, the Faculty, and the student body immediately realized the need and the good that a student publi- cation might accomplish and supported the new venture. The publication has grown in size and literary quality and has reached a high standard during the past few years, branding it as one of the leading collegiate publications of this section. During the scholastic year just closed the paper was maintained on its previous high plane and merited the approval of the student body. The Chromascope Walter Lazenby, Jr. W. L. Golightly Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Editing a college annual is analogous to striving for an ideal. Some day this ideal may be attained, but that some day will in all probability be in the future far away. The present staff, in this respect, placed its ideal high, but now that the task is finished, it is obvious that the ideal has been missed con- siderably. Despite disappointment and disillusionment, however, the work has been a pleasure, and while mistakes have been made, the task has been done with an honest effort to catch the spirit of the College and to translate the happenings of the year 1924-25 into word and picture. The production of the Chromascope is not the work of aqy one person, but the result of united effort and thought. If any particular section of the book is appealing the one responsible for that department should know it; if faults are found the various ones were probably wrongly advised by the Editor. Everyone who has in any way aided in the production of the 1925 Chroma- scope receives the unqualified thanks of the management. The work of the staff is now practically done. If this volume has in some small measure depicted the spirit of Austin, and if in future years the contents of this hook make you live again in memory the days of the year just closed—make you long for old friends and companions, the staff will feel that it has not entirely failed.

ATHLETICS Sam son lore the '{ion in two pieces like a sheet of parchment The A Association The “A” Association of Austin College is an organization of all men who have won a letter in either football, basket ball, track, baseball, or tennis. As soon as an individual is granted a letter by the Athletic Association he auto- matically becomes a member of the “A” Association and the initiation follows. This organization has accomplished greater things during this scholastic year than during probably any other. The observance of Tuesday of each week as “A” day, the equipping of the Trophy room in the Y. M. C. A. with furniture and literature, and the reception of new athletes are among the out- standing accomplishments of the organization. A keener spirit and a finer fellowship have prevailed among the athletes on account of the work of the association. Coach Cawthon, who heartily endorses the work of the organi- zation, declared it to be one of the best letter organizations in Texas. Members of the “A” Association during the past year were: Reeves, Crawford, Rollins, Whorton, Moore, Miller, Frnka, Cone, Morgan, Hill, J. H. Rodgers. Golightly, Cox, Cooper, Outhouse, Nelson, Dickey, Hill, W. L. Wilmoth, Poe, Smith, Head, Allred, Lingo, and Baker.

W. Cawthon Head Coach Coach Cawthon rounded out his second year and was initiated into his third during the last scholastic year, confirming the respect and regard which he previously won and further establishing the lofty position Austin College holds in the athletic realm of the Southwest. Although Cawthon emphasizes sportsmanship and love for the game and places winning secondary, varsity teams under his tutelage have made exceptional records. Despite the failure of the 1924 eleven to win the championship of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the Austin aggregation defeated two strong Southwestern Conference teams—one the winner of the Conference championship. Cawthon has forced the attention of sport lovers of this whole section on his Kangaroo athletes. “Coacher” stresses hard work, consistent training, and team spirit, and the effect of this combination has been unmistakably seen in the spirit and the success of the various athletic clubs during the past few seasons.

Credit mi be given to him for his determination, which was a t G. O. Reeves Tackle; Wt. 178; Ht. 5 ft. 11. Reeves entered Austin as a Junior, coming from Way- land Baptist College. He served one year with the Pouchers, but in his Senior year staged a strong come- back and lettered. He played practically the entire season and was a power at tackle. His S. M. U. game will long be remembered. AUSTIN 7, BAYLOR 3 In the most sensational game of the season the Austin College Kangaroos kicked the “dope bucket” all over the Texas Cotton Palace gridiron and trounced the Baylor Bears, 7 to 3. Doped to lose by two touchdowns, the Kangaroos startled football fans by defeating the winner of the 1924 Southwestern football championship. In the first few minutes Smith recovered a fumble and ran 75 yards for the only touchdown of the game. Several times only inches separated the Bears from the Kangaroo goal, but the Austin team displayed almost superhuman defense. Team play featured. H. O. Crawford Left Guard; Wt. 170; Ht. 5 ft. 11. Molly Crawford made his third letter in football this season. He exhibited the same superior type of play that has been characteristic of him for two years. His ability and determination worked equally on the offense and denfense. Molly will play his fourth and last year next season. Macy Rollins Center; Wt. 176; Ht. 6 ft. 1. Rollins’ accurate passing was the feature of his playing during the 1924 season when he won his third letter tion. Macy is adept at outguessing his opponents’ plays. His coolness often saved the Kangaroos when in critical places. AUSTIN 0. TRINITY 0 A jinx of several years’ standing, aided by Tiger fight, enabled Trinity University to hold the Kangaroos to a scoreless tie on October 31st. This was the second T. I. A. A. game and completely upset dope. With only a mediocre team Trinity turned back the battering drive of the Kangaroos and held them scoreless. Austin outplayed the Trinitonians throughout but lacked the necessary punch at the right moment. Cooper’s attempted field goal in the last few minutes of the game missed only by inches. A let-down was noticed after the Baylor victory. H. E. Frnka Guard: Wt. 185: Ht. 6 ft. Frnka was a power in the line both on the offense and the defense. An injury sustained in the Trinity game impaired his usefulness during the middle of the season, but despite this handicap ‘‘Bull” played a wonderful game against Hendrix on Thanksgiving. Verde Dickey Fullback: Wt. 165: Ht. 5 ft. 8. After serving two years on the Poucher squad Verde lettered in 1924 at the fullback position. He was excep- tionally good as a defensive man, his work in this capacity saving many touchdowns. Dickey was also a consistent ground gainer. He will have one more year. AUSTIN 6, RICE 2 The Kangaroos journeyed to Houston for their third Southwestern Conference game, to give the Rice Owls a little wisdom concerning football. Playing on a slippery field neither team showed a running attack, but when the final whistle sounded the fighting Kangaroos were leading the wet and bedraggled Owls by a score of 6 to 2. A pass, Allred to Smith, was the means of defeating Heisman’s proteges. The Owls' only score came when Allred was downed for a safety. In desperation. Rice opened a passing game but completed but six of twenty attempts. This was the second Kangaroo victory over Southwestern Conference Taylor Nelson Half; Wt. 170; Ht. 5 ft. 11. Nelson rounded out his second year in the Kangaroo backfield in great style. Though not as strong on the offensive as he was his first year, Bobo frequently broke loose for long gains. Nelson played a strong defensive game and should be an important cog in the 1925 machine. Leo Allred Quarter; Wt. 135: Ht. 5 ft. 2. won his second letter at the signal caller’s posi- season. He was a good field general and a r, although his playing was below his standard In the Henderson-Brown game Butter showed his ability to circle ends, AUSTIN 10, HOWARD PAYNE 15 Suffering their first defeat on Cashion Field, the Kangaroos received a serious jolt in their championship aspirations on Armistice Day. Coach Dad Amis’ Howard Payne eleven proved to be the downfall of the Austin team to the score of 15 to 10. Both teams were rated as the best in the T. I. A. A. with the Kangaroos the slight favorite. The Yellow Jackets scored first and at the opening of the final period scored another touchdown. The Kangaroos i back strong and had the ball on Howard Payne’s four-yard line with three downs when the • man and made his letter at Hillsboro with a big reputation and lived up to the expectations of football fans. Tracy was a very good passer and one of the best place kickers in the State. He will fill Rollins’ shoes when this veteran finishes. Lamar P. Cooper Fullback; Wt. 175; Ht. 5 ft. 6. To Cooper fell the difficult task of replacing Saxon at fullback. He did this well and proved to be one of the hardest hitting backs on the team. His defensive work in the Simmons game featured. His punting and place kicking featured nearly every game. His injuries received in the S. M. U. game, impaired his usefulness somewhat. AUSTIN 9, SOUTHWESTERN 20 The Kangaroos’ last T. I. A. A. game, on November 17th with Southwestern University, proved disastrous. The game was played on Woodson Field at Temple. The Pirates resorted to an aerial game and in the first few minutes made two touchdowns via the the second quarter Hill plunged across for the Kangaroos’ lone touchdown. Austin outclassed the Pirates in offensive play but lost the ball repeatedly when near the opponent’s goal. The final score, 20 to 9, was received with surprise by football fans of Texas. The difficult schedule told on the Kangaroos. AUSTIN 9, TULSA 0 In the first game played out of the State, Austin played a stellar game to win from Tulsa University, 9 to 0. By the end of the game the Golden Hurricane had been converted into a calm and peaceful breeze and the Big Chief was ready to call it a day. The Kangaroos took the lead when Cooper booted the oval between the bars from the forty-three yard line. A costly fumble further proved the Tulsan’s downfall when Smith recovered the ball and raced eighty yards for the only touchdown of the game. From this period on the Kangaroos were content to play defensive football. Only once after the first half did they start a drive down the field, and this was halted on the ten-yard line where the Oklahomans held. The Golden Hurricane gained more ground than the Kangaroos, but did not profit by this advantage. The Austin club took advantage of all breaks by playing an alert game. Captain Poe sustained a twisted knee in this game, prematurely ending his football career. The Kangaroos journeyed to Arkansas on Thanksgiving to end their football season with the Hendrix team of Conway. The tenacity of the Bulldogs asserted itself when Austin threatened to score but were unable to shove the ball across until the final quarter. Near the end of the game Smith blocked a punt, Morgan recovered for a touchdown, Allred made the extra point, and the game ended 7 to 0. The Kangaroos uncovered a wonderful offense in the early part of the game, but were stopped when the Hendrix defense stiffened. Morgan, playing his last game for Austin, made a superb play that won the game for his teammates. On the offensive, especially, the Hendrix team was outplayed. This was the final game of the Austin schedule. The Kangaroos matched strength with the best teams in three States and compared favorably with all of them. AUSTIN 7, HENDRIX 0 Pouchers Taylor Nelson Celina Forward Nelson was one of the two-letter men of last year that formed the nucleus around which the squad of this year was built. Of six letter men of 1924 he and Morgan were the only ones to play through the 1925 season complete. Though erratic in his goal tossing at times Bobo had a very successful season and was one of the mainstays of the Kangaroo quintet. His speed stood him in good stead. Following the close of the season Nelson was appointed by Coach Cawthon to captain the 1926 aggregation, a testimonial to his value to the club Lamar P. Cooper Dallas Guard Cooper made his letter in basket ball in his first collegiate effort. From an inexperienced player “Gold Dust” soon became one of the Kangaroos’ most valuable players. Cooper and Lingo alternated at guard, each playing approximately the same amount of time. Cooper was a very good defensive man and showed excellent footwork on the court. His speed and passing ability made him one of the most feared guards on the whole squad. Cooper will have three more years on the Austin court and should develop into one of the premier basket tossers of the Charles Lingo Starting the season with a difficult task looming before him Lingo landed a berth on the Kangaroo quintet as guard. This position was one of the most difficult to win as Morgan, at the opening of the season, was practically certain of one of the guards. Lingo was a good defensive man, and developed into an accurate passer before the 1925 season closed. Charlie also showed uncanny judgment when shooting from the middle of the court. Lingo’s consistency was a bright spot in a very gloomy and disastrous season. With three years more to play, for Lingo it should be twinkle, twinkle little star. a Crowdus Baker Dallas To Baker fell the job of replacing Rogers at the center position. “Hog” came with experience from Terrell Prep and fitted nicely into the Kangaroo machine. Baker developed considerably during the 1925 campaign and was regarded as one of the leading players at the end of the season. His height enabled him to get the ball off from center and it was seldom that he was outjumped. Crowdus frequently made long shots, sometimes from apparently impossible angles. His defensive work was noteworthy. Baker will have three years more on the Austin court. Basket Ball Squad of 1925 LINGO JONES CAWTHON. COACH BAKER FINCHER MORGAN NELSON mr Baseball in 1924 Continued H. S. Whorton Outfield Scai players that the Austin nine could boast. “Cotton’s” fielding was good, very few errors being charged to him during all the season. His batting, however, was one of the features of the Kangaroo club. Whorton could clout the ball to all corners of the lot, and on many occasions he spoiled the opposing pitcher’s hopes for a victory. If Whorton continues to progress during his two remaining seasons as he did during the last campaign, he will be a great performer when he finishes. R. T. Smith Outfield “Dutchy,” after demonstrating wonderful ability on the gridiron, made his first “A” in baseball during the 1924 season. He was a sure man in the field and by hard work soon developed a very accurate peg. Although only an average batter, he fre- quently drove the ball for extra bases. He was one of the most consistent players on the entire club. Had Smith been able to play during the season just closed, no doubt he would have been one of the mainstays of the team. 1 I Adam Cone Outfield Cone, though a seasoned and experienced player, made his first letter on the Austin nine during the 1924 season. Adam played during most of the 1922 season, alternating with More- hart at third base, and after getting additional experience, came back during last year’s season as one of the dependable players on the team. Adam is a hard worker and a conscientious trainer and the result was evidenced in his season’s averages. His ability to play nearly any position on the team stood the Kangaroos in good stead. V. C. Rogers Pitcher “Doc” Rogers was a first year man and won his letter by his services on the mound. He took his turn on the mound with Fowler and Morgan, and although he was inexperienced and wild at times, he was a fair moundsman. Rogers started the season on the Poucher roster but by hard and consistent work earned a place on the 'varsity. Doc showed promise of developing into a real ball player, and his withdrawal from college is to be regretted. His place will be difficult to fill. 1905] — TRfiCK f .... ;11;;:,.:- : 2 romascope J. B. HEAD Captain By his sensational work in the dashes during the past three years J. B. Head has stamped himself as one of the out- standing collegiate track stars in the state. In the T. I. A. A. meet at Abilene last May he walked away with the first in the 440-yard dash and won second in the 10(T and 220-yard dashes. In addition to this he was Austin’s best bet in the relay. As captain of the 1924 team he was untiring in his efforts to advance the position of track in the college. Head is a hard trainer, a faithful worker, and a leader who has the welfare of his team at heart. He finished his fourth and last year during the season just closed. Walter O. Miller Miller devoted most of his time and energy on the track to the 440-yard dash and the relay, although he was skilled in hurling the javelin, and in broad and high jumping. 'Very few men in the State can excel Miller and it was due to a great extent to his running that the Kangaroo relay team had such a successful season. His work in the broad jump made him a dangerous opponent for any jumping aspirant. In 1924 Walter failed to place in the T. I. A. A. meet at Abilene, but he was handicapped by injuries. Miller wore his last spiked shoes for Austin in 1924. «, Verde Dickey Dickey’s specialty was in the low hurdles and he made won- derful progress in this department during the 1924 season. Verde was also a dangerous man in the 440-yard dash and the relay. Although handicapped in his track workouts because of being also a member of the baseball team, Dickey stayed in good condition, and at the close of the season won second place in the low hurdles at the State meet, losing the race by only a few inches. Dickey has two years more. V 4 Myron Outhouse j� e. Outhouse made his first letter in the half-mile and the relay. Previous to his entrance at Austin College he attended Sher- man High and was one of their best cinder path men. During the 1924 season Myron progressed rapidly, showing especial promise in the half-mile and the relay. His work on the relay team contributed to its success. Outhouse is another hard trainer and a faithful worker, and great things are expected from him before he is graduated. He has three years more. “Butter” made his first track letter in his work in the mile run. Allred was a distance man and devoted his entire time to the mile event. He trained hard and although he was only mediocre in this event at the opening of the season before the year ended he cut his time down to considerably under the five-minute mark. At Abilene in the Association meet Allred placed second in the mile. Butter will be likely .o break some T. I. A. A. records before his collegiate career ends.

Tennis in 1924 The 1924 Tennis season was opened on the home court on April 22 with the team representing the Southeastern State Teachers' College of Oklahoma from Durant opposing the Kangaroo netters. After the Durant team had won two singles matches the meet had to be called on account of rain. In a meet with North Texas State Teachers’ College from Denton the Austin team lost two doubles matches and a single match and won one singles match. On May 2 and 3 Austin College was host to the tennis teams of the T. I. A. A. in the annual meet of the association. Austin was represented in the doubles contest by Bondurant and Hill, and by Biggs and Ward. In the singles Hill and Bondurant were the representatives. The doubles teams were eliminated in the preliminaries, but Hill went to the semi-finals in the singles matches, losing to Willis of Denton who finally won the singles championship. The Denton doubles team also won high honors defeating Southwestern University in the finals. As a special Jubilee attraction the Kangaroo netters met the Trinity University team on June 2. Austin lost the meet to Trinity. The Athletic Council saw fit to award no letters, but the work of the Austin men should be commended, as a very creditable showing was made, and this under adverse circumstances. Review of 1925 Season After a lethargy of several years interest in girls’ basket ball was revived and despite discouragements the co-eds played through a schedule of games in 1925 con- stituting a season that was far from unsatisfactory. Hand- icapped in the nature of an unsatisfactory place to practice and with no one to coach, the girls consistently and faith- fully worked and placed co-ed athletics on a foundation heretofore unknown. Under the leadership of the Margie Taylor practice began shortly after the Christmas holidays and from a group of green and inexperienced players a fast and reliable team was molded. Following class games the season was opened auspiciously on February 20 when the Austin team defeated the team representing the city Y. M. C. A. girls’ gym class by a 24 to 12 count. In this initial en- counter the college team showed unexpected offensive power and exhibited an excellent brand of team play. Although playing on a foreign court and against a sea- soned team the co-eds cleanly outplayed the “Y” team and won a deserved victory. With the Carr Burdette College sextette opposing them in the second scheduled game on February 27 the Austin team offered a stubborn resistance to the versatile attack of the Christian team but came off with the small end of a 27 to 10 score. Carr Burdette showed superior coaching and training and with a strong offensive com- bination defeated the co-eds. However, one of the fea- tures of the game was the fight manifested by the Austin aggregation. In the last game of the season the Sherman High School team succeeded in defeating the co-ed team 18 to 10 in a game more closely contested than the score would indicate. With a continual stream of fresh players being sent in the High School team managed to keep in the lead although during the first half the two teams fought on an even basis. The team as a unit deserves credit for the success of the season. On the offensive Margie Taylor and Doris Eagleton were stars, both of these for- wards being adept at ringing baskets. Bessie Baxter played a strong defensive game at all times, while Marian Cox showed up well at center.

The occasion was the solemn and mysterious welcoming of all new members into the Girls’ Council. Arriving at the home of Margie Taylor, each Fish was ushered in and required to take the pledge of allegiance. The initiation proper was held in the barn. And a barn with such hidden possibilities that, like the nursery rhyme. Fish climbed one set of stairs, they climbed another set of stairs, and there they found a little bit of everything. The doors of the dining room were thrown open and much to the approval this time of the Fish-Co-eds. there presented itself a wonderful spread, which was enjoyed by all. SOPHOMORES GO ON OPOSSUM HUNT The Sophomores, chaperoned by Coach and Mrs. Cawthon. on Friday evening. December 12. left Sherman Hall in cars for a 'possum hunt. They carried dogs with them and. contrary to the usual custom, a ‘‘real, live ’possum” was caught. Later in the evening the bunch gathered around a big bonfire, toasted weinies and marshmallows, enjoyed stories, songs, and yodling till the waning of the moon reminded them that it was time for the homeward journey. DENISON CLUB BANQUET One of the delightful club entertainments of the year was the banquet given by the Denison Club early in October at Denison. The purpose of the banquet was to bring together all Austin College students from Denison into closer fellowship and to complete the organization of the newly organized Denison Club. Mr. McDaniel, representing the public schools of Denison, and Mr. J. D. Dickson. Austin College alumnus of the class of 1920. addressed the students, following the banquet. Each of the twenty-three Denison students were present. DEAN OF WOMEN CO-EDS HOSTESS ’Twas the afternoon of the party—and all through the house “The cretaures” were stirring—not because of a mouse. Now Mrs. Harwell had seen that the Dr. stay away. And you know the old saying—cat’s gone—the mice will play. A thousand pardons to Dr. Harwell. To the minds of the co-eds he typifies a model husband and while his presence would have enriched the party he would have felt slightly out of place among all the co-eds who were guests in his home. After having registered and after having been served punch, the guests assembled for the afternoon program. The “Faculty of Austin College” was called together, and in the presence of their wives, were revealed such things as the co-eds thought best to let them know. “Surely Dr. Clyce would never say that,” exclaimed Mrs. Clyce almost tearfully when she heard her husband revert, unintentionally, to one of the current slang expressions. Chapel having been dismissed, the guests were favored with a Lyceum course—a celebrated sextette and two dramatists known throughout A. C., if not a continent, rendered numbers that delighted the audience. “I have never heard a more clever salutatory or valedictory.” was the cur- rent expression as the two Senior girls gave their part on the program. Ex- Vice-President Marshall’s baccalaureate address was a source of much merriment. Diplomas from “Mr. Austin College” were conferred on the six Senior girls by Mr. Blanding, president of the Board of Trustees. One young lady was conferred the degree of the cosine of the angle A. B. C, on another that of M. R. S. The Senior banquet was the final and crowning event of the afternoon. To this all the guests were inivitcd. Brick cream and angel food cake carried out the pink and white color scheme. RECEPTION FOR NEW GIRLS The Girls' Council held a reception in the home of Miss Maurine Morris to welcome its new members at the beginning of school. After a delightful program, refreshments were served to some sixty-five guests. 1905] 1929] 1929 1905] Austin College Student Body in 1925 The student body during the scholastic year of 1924-25 showed an increase in numbers over that of the previous session, the Dia- mond Jubilee year, by several per cent. The total enrollment dur- ing the long session was 341, the largest on record excluding the abnormal numbers registered during S. A. T. C. years. The Austin College student body during the year just closed came from 76 counties in Texas, and from four other states: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, and Mississippi. One hundred three were enrolled in the Summer Session of the College, and thirty-five took work in the Normal, held during the summer under the management of the college. The combined enrollment for the year including the summer courses was 479. Some of this number, however, are duplicates, leaving a net enrollment for the year 1924-25 of 429. 1925 Lyceum Course in 1925 Sherman Hall Auditorium The Austin College Lyceum course in 1924-25, though shorter than those of previous years, was up to the high standard that has prevailed in past seasons. Especially were the closing numbers of this course, the tenth annual sponsored by Austin College, well received. The course was opened on October 16, when Harry Houdini, the famous magician and spiritualistic expose, appeared and in a highly intertaining and enlightening lecture told of the practices and tricks of spiritualists and mediums. Ralph Bingham, the noted humorist, was presented on November 20. Bingham was at his best and kept the audience in an uproar by his jokes, puns, readings, and character portrayals. Sherman and the College were honored by having as the next number a lecture by Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary pf the Navy in Woodrow Wil- son’s Cabinet. Daniels’ address gave his hearers new light on the affairs of the United States and international conditions. The Vernon Quintet drew a large crowd on December 16, and rendered a pleasing musical program, the first of the course. Of all the numbers of the season the Rainbow Orchestra was the best received and by the varied, artistic, and popular nature of the program won the admiration of all the lyceum-goers. Added to the charm of the personnel of the company, the lighting effects and costumes made the program most delightful. The Cinderella Man,’’ a clever three-act play was presented as the next attraction. The appeal of the plot of the play and the effective character representation made the play unusually appealing. That a quartette always attracts was again proven on February 26 when the Metropolitan Quartette appeared rendering a well blended selection of classical and popular numbers. The course was brought to a happy close by the appearance of the Cheney Concert Company, a group of versatile and highly artistic musicians. The Kappa Gamma Chi Fountain One of the most pic- turesque additions to the campus came in June, 1924, with the official pre- sentation of the Kappa Gamma Chi Literary So- ciety Fountain. A dream that has been living in the minds of co-eds since their, beginning at Austin Col- lege was realized in the fullest extent on the morn- ing of June 2, when in connection with the Dia- mond Jubilee exercises, the fountain was presented to the college. Miss Doro- thy Scarborough, ’24, president of the Kappas during the 1924 scholastic year, made the presentation address; Dr. Clyce speaking in behalf of the col- lege gave thanks to the girls, expressing the gratitude and appreciation that the college in general holds for the gift and for the never-failing loyalty and de- votion of the co-eds of Austin College. Following the addresses the corner- stone was laid, with Dorothy Scarborough in charge assisted by the other officers of the Kappa Gamma Chi: Samye Peacock, Bessie Grace Cunningham, and Adele Fincher. ANNUAL KIDD-KEY-AUSTIN COLLEGE SPELLING MATCH A large part of the student body of Austin College gathered at the Kidd- Key Auditorium at 8:15 on the evening of February 28, to attend the annual spelling match between the Junior Classes of Kid-Key College and Austin College. Much rivalry exists between the Junior classes of the two schools. This was manifest by the songs and yells given by students long before the contest was due to begin. The Kidd-Key pep squad, led by Miss Cleo Woolrich, at- tracted much attention and comment. Promptly at 8:15 the spellers marched down the aisle, two by two, and the contest was begun. Miss Cooke of Carr-Burdette College was enunciator. The judges were F. W. Emerson, J. Marshall, and Miss Cocke. At the end of the first 45-minute period the Austin Juniors were leading nine to eight. However, the second period ended disastrously for the A. C. boys, for when the time ended only three Austin boys were left, while Kidd- Key boasted of seven, thus winning the contest. Open house followed the contest. The contestants were: Kidd-Key, Nella Davis (Captain), Marvel Sandel, Emilie Egg, Anita Young, Dorothy Campbell, Mary Lucille Woodward, Bonnie Starbuck, Jean King, Elna Griffin, Mary Greer. Austin College, N. W. Harris (Captain), J. S. Gilliland, D. E. Temple, Don Bagwill, Robert Currie, M. A. May, H. E. Frnka, John Varner, Mason Lockwood, and T. B. Gallaher. The H. H. Thompson Prize FOR BEST ALL-ROUND MAN A cash prize of $250 in gold is awarded annually by Mr. Hoxie H. Thompson to the “best all-round man in Austin College. In 1920 Mr. Thompson, an Austin College Alumnus of the class of 1920, decided to make this award in order to stimulate in- terest in the all-round development of the individual and at the same time to offer every male student a chance to win a prize, even though he be unable to excel in any one division of college activity. Four qualities are considered in selecting the winner, and each is equal valence. These are character, athletics, scholarship, and leadership. The winner of this prize may indeed be con- sidered as an individual whose endeavors have been varied and who has developed his talents in a special manner. Nominations for the winner are made by a secret ballot of the student body at the final chapel exercises of the year, any student receiving as many as fifteen votes being con- sidered a nominee far the honor. From the list nominated the best all-round man is se- lected by a committee of nine composed of the president of the College, the dean, the coach, the Y. M. C. A. secretary, one other faculty member and one representative of each college class. W. W. Bondurant, Jr., of the class of 1925, was the winner in 1924. Bill was entirely deserving of the honor, being one of the real leaders of the school and vitally interested in all worthy student activities. His character is above reproach, for four years his scholarship has ranked among the highest. He has been a member of the football and basket ball squads and represented Austin College in tennis in 1924, and has been a real leader among the students, holding many positions of responsibility. Few students of any time have more deservedly won this title than did Bill in 1924. W. W. Bondurant, Jr. Cawthon’s Cup for the Best All-’Round Athlete Chromascope Cover Standardized What Austin College Has Done for Me William Thornton Read. Ph. D. To answer the question. What Has My Alma Mater Done For Me? is to attempt the impossible. The mental and moral make-up of an individual is not like the separable stones of a building, but rather a fusion and a blend- ing of many and varied elements. Hence to pick out definite gifts which a college bestows upon a man is a task which defies the most searching analysis, and the best and most honest answer to the question is in the nature of an approximation. There are. however, a few very definite ideas in my mind as to what Austin College has done for me and for hundreds of others, and these I shall set down as briefly and pointedly as possible. In the first place, this college gave me a sound and thorough academic training. Two decades ago six men made up the college faculty. Not one of these men boasted the doctorate degree, which now seems to be the first requirement of faculty membership. These men were not profound scholars, devoting their time to research and investigation. They taught fundamentals in a thorough way. They inspired the love of study and initiated their students into the feeling of strength and pride and satisfaction which comes with the conquering of hard and difficult subjects. Austin College gave me the opportunity of making deep and lasting friendships with men whose chief aim in life was to do good to their fellow men. The college was a friendly place: the town was a friendly town: and few friendships made since those bright college years have meant as much. Of all the gifts of my old college the greatest was the philosophy of life which her students unconsciously learned. The college was not so much a place to acquire information, to learn how to think, and to reason, and to study, however well this was accomplished. Likewise the college was not so much a place for the making of friendships, however, pleasant and inspiring and splendid these proved to be. Austin College was first and foremost a place to make men. There was no preaching done to the students, but a great deal of quiet, unobtrusive. Christian living. We college boys saw a group of devoted, underpaid, hardworking teachers giving their lives in the service of their fellow men and their God. We learned by example rather than by precept the lessons of loyalty, courage, clean living, fine purposes, lofty ideals. 1905] 1905] romascope Use This When You Write Home (Use check marks to avoid writer’s cramps and to allow time for classes) r Sweetheart: I Brother: •j Sister: t Family: Hot Cold Disagreeable r Enjoyable J Tiresome Rotten Picture show Poker game Studying I am attending Austin College of Sherman Well Hungry Lonesome I Poor not with you With love Always Cordially Respectfully More Hardy ( poetically ) : Whither away, my pretty maid?” Anna M.
