Into this Chromascope of 1928 we have woven a theme of another glorious period: the period of the French Revolution. We have not written for the present, but rather for that placid eventide of life when you and I shall turn these worn pages—and conjure up a thousand memories to keep us company. COHTE1VT8 Book I.

The Association has held regular monthly meetings throughout the year, at which time the business concerning the men of the college has been attended to. These meetings have been made doubly enjoyable this year by the intro- duction of musical numbers by members of the Association. The government of the Students’ Association is vested in the hands of the Men’s Executive Com- mittee, made up of four members of the Senior class, three members of the Junior class, two members of the Sophomore class, and one member from the Freshman class. The Executive Committee handles all the cases of dishonorable conduct which casts reflection upon the student body or upon the college as a whole. Qirti Qouncil THE Girls’ Council is the corresponding organiza- tion for the young ladies of the college, as the Students’ Association for the men. The Council has held its meetings throughout the year, at which time the work for the girls of the institution has been carried on. The government of the Girls’ Council is vested in the hands of the Women’s Executive Committee, made up of four members of the Senior class, three members of the Junior class, two members of the Sophomore class, and one member of the Freshman class. The Executive Committee for the young ladies works in the same manner as that of the men.

In September, 1924, this year’s graduating class met for the first time. There were many more of us then. How well we remember so many of those faces which we will perhaps never see again. Many changes have taken place since our first meeting. Some classmates have taken up their life work, some have gone to college elsewhere, some have followed this calling or that, and others have passed to the Great Beyond, from which no traveler returns. The remainder of us are now parting company, but indelibly impressed upon our memory are the four years we have spent in college together. In all of the activities this year, we have attempted to bring a fitting climax to our career in the college, and to be able to leave a name behind us which will be honored and respected; an ideal which other classes might follow. We know that we have left many things undone; much that we had hoped to do. It re- mains for those who are to follow us to take up the load where we have put it down, and carry on. To the future graduating classes of Austin College, we extend our sincerest wishes that you may always hold the name of the college high, and live by the noble ideals which it has set for you. —The Senior Class.

San Augustine ACTIVITIES THE CHROMASCOPF The 1928 Qhromascope THE production of the Chromascope is not an individualistic enterprise, either of the Editor or the staff. It is true that upon them falls the greatest task, but all that we may have attempted to achieve in this volume has been made possible by the co- operation of the entire student body. The 1928 Chromascope is the result of many months of labor and worry which the uninitiated is unable to appreciate. We have tried to make the book in its entirety as nearly mechanically perfect as possible, but in no way have we distorted the things portrayed to make them fit the demands of mechani- „ cal perfection. Throughout the entire volume we Ted Bomar , ° . . . Editor have attempted to present its contents in such a way that it will adequately mirror the student life, and breathe the essence of Austin College, its spirit, and its hopes. In our selection of art work, ink, paper, engraving styles, and in designing our cover we have in every way attempted to make the 1928 Chromascope a beautiful book, and in our treatment of contents it has been our purpose to make the entire book as representative of the whole as possible. The plan of the book has been to embody into the theme of the art work the French Revolution, and to build an annual around the students of the college. College life may be compared to the French Revolution. The French people had truly high ideals, and their revolt was an attempt to better themselves. In college we attempt to better ourselves, though in a much more sane way. The theme of the French Revolution has never before been used, so far as we have been able to learn, in any annual in any part of the country. McFadden Ballard Barganier Andrews THE CHROMASCOPF The 1928 Qiromascope THE Chromascope this year, as in the past two years, was printed by the Hugh Stephens Press of Jefferson City, Missouri. The engraving for the third consecutive year has been done by the South- western Engraving Company of Fort Worth. The photography was handled by Wear’s Studio of Sherman. The 1928 Chromascope has been pro- duced at a cost of approximately $4,000. Several contributions have been received from persons whose names do not appear on the staff. We wish to express our great appreciation to Mrs. C. H. Gillespie for her assistance in securing our football and organization pictures, and to Marcus Russell of the Sophomore class who is responsible for a great many of the splendid pictures of dormi- tory and campus life appearing in the feature section. We hope that our work will please you, for in greatest reward. Ted R. Bomar Ralph E. Hightower Fred L. McFadden . Paul D. Andrews . C. Virgil Ballard . Maggie C.

Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Associate Editor Organization Editor Athletic Editor Women's Activities Staff Photographer THE C.HROMASCOPK The Kangaroo THE Kangaroo is very glad to have this oppor- tunity in which to say a few words to the student body for the great interest, splendid co-operation, and earnest effort in the publishing of the student newspaper. It has been a great pleasure to all those con- cerned with the business end of the paper and those who have contributed to its columns and those at the head of its management feel that their efforts have been well worth while. The Kangaroo is a paper of and for the students of Austin College and it was with this view in mind Jack English that the work of the staff has been carried on. It Editor, First Term has been the aim of the paper to give each phase of student activity the same careful attention and not to lay more stress on one activity than the other. In this matter The Kangaroo has succeeded beyond a doubt. On account of the great interest shown by the students in the work of the paper the staff has constantly strived to better the publication in every possible manner and in the comments of the student body the general feeling has been that the paper is truly representative of the spirit of the College. THE CHROMASCOPE The Kangaroo WITH the close of the first term the editor of the paper transferred his work to another institution and there followed the election of a new editor to fill his place. The person who was chosen for this position has worked hard to keep the paper along the same commendable lines as the first editor. Both editors have had splendid work on the part of the staff and at no time has a member failed to do his or her work and a great feature of the year is the fact that only a very few times has the paper been published later than the regular publish- ing date. In the Christmas edition of The Kangaroo the staff put out a paper that has been highly compli- mented by other papers from over this state and also other states. Other special features of the year have been the April Fool number and the Organization and Class Editions published in the Spring. The Kangaroo takes this last opportunity to thank each member of the student body for the hearty support, and to thank all those who have helped to make the paper possible. —W. W. W.

It was decided that the combined talent of the two musical organizations would be more effective than the individual clubs. It had long been planned by Prof. George Case, Director, to present an operetta and with this in mind the Chorus was formed.

The organization has made many of the football trips, played at all the home games, and furnished musical programs in chapel on several occasions. This year the Band was under the able direction of Clar- ence Dodge. THE CHROMASCOPF. The Austin Qollege Quartette THE Austin College Quartette made its first appearance on the campus this year and it has become one of the leading entertainment organizations of the college.

It has been an entirely self-supporting organization with its funds coming from the membership dues and the proceeds from its productions. The plays have been staged under the direction of Prof. F. W. Emerson and those presented during the past year were “Polly With a Past,” presented in March, and a modern dress version of Shakes- peare’s comedy, “The Taming of the Shrew,” presented during com- mencement. The custom of offering three one-act plays written by students of the college was not carried out this year, the Shakespeare production taking their place. Regular meetings of the organization have been held every two weeks. At these meetings the members have been entertained by one- act plays, readings, musical numbers, and other features. The officers for the past year have been: Ellen Crook, President; Fred McFadden, Vice-President; Garner Drane, Secretary; Frank Taylor, Treasurer; and Carson Rubey, Technical Supervisor.

This Athletic Council, upon the recommendation of the Coach, awards the letters in the various kinds of athletics. Serving on this Council is also the Business Manager. This year Thomas L. Wrenn has served in this capacity and has done some very excellent work. The members of the Austin College Athletic Council are: Coach P. W. Cawthon Faculty Members Dr. Guy B. Duff Prof. Carl Schoggins Prof. Walter Lazenby THE CHROMASCOPF Head Qoach P. W. Cawthon THE athletic season of 1927-’28 marks the close of the career of P. W. Cawthon as athletic coach of Austin College. Coach Cawthon has been associated with this institution in the capacity of head coach for the past five years and it is with the deepest regret that we see him go. During his stay here in Austin College Coach Cawthon has been heart and soul in his work of bettering Austin College athletics and also in securing improvements in the athletic equipment. He played a great part in the building of Cashion Field, the beginning of the Trophy Room, and it was his untiring effort and hard work that saw the gymnasium started and completed. More than this; he has been a builder of men, and all those who have come in contact with him on or off the athletic field know him as “A man among men.” 1928 THE CHROMASCOPR 1Assistant (bach Eddie Dyer ASSISTANT COACH EDDIE DYER is a graduate of Rice Insti- tute where he was a four-letter man in football and baseball. He came to Austin College from the St. Louis Cardinals four years ago and has been associated with Coach Cawthon during the football season during these past four years. Dyer was a man who always found time to discuss any problem brought to him by the men of the student body and he is loved and respected by all those who know him. As in the case of Coach Cawthon, Coach Dyer, who is also leaving this institution next year, will be sorely missed. He was a gentleman—a builder of men of strong char- acter—and his absence will be keenly felt by the men of the football squad and his cheerfulness and ready smile missed by those on the campus. To find men to fill the places of Coaches Cawthon and Dyer will be no easy task.

With the exception of Dee, a brilliant newcomer, every man who started the game was a member of last year’s team. This game greatly aided the coaches in estimating the ability of the new material and also in noting the improvement in the playing of the men from last year’s squad. The second game of the season was played during the Red River Valley Fair with the Oklahoma City Goldbugs and ended in a 13 to b defeat for the Kanga- roos. It was a muddy game from start to finish with the Goldbugs outplaying the Kangaroos during the first half. During the second half the Kangaroos came back with a vengeance and late in the last quarter a pass from Keeling to Lingo placed the ball on the one-yard line, then Dee plunged through for Austin’s lone THE CHROMASCOPE Keeling Makes a Cut-back Over Right End—Howard Payne Game The first Texas Conference game played by the Kangaroos ended in a 23 to 0 defeat at the hands of the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets. The game was played in Brownwood and the Kangaroos failed to make a good showing, but nevertheless put up a good fight from start to finish. The passing was almost completely blocked and very little ground was gained by line play. In the course of the game Lingo, Price and Savage had to be removed on account of inju- ries. The Yellow Jacket scores were made on a field goal during the first period, one touchdown in the third period, and two more in the fourth. The loss of the first Conference game was a great blow to the Kangaroos, but the fighting spirit was by no means broken. They were back on Cashion Field the next week working harder than ever in order to be ready for their old rivals, the Trinity Tigers. October 28 saw the old rivals, the Austin College Kangaroos and the Trinity Tigers meet on Cashion Field, Sherman. The Tigers were outplayed THE CHROMASCOPF. Ballard Blocks Rhome, Morton Sweeps Left End—Trinity Game during the entire game but by good fortune were able to tie the score. They were unable to stop the drive of the Kangaroos until backed up against their own goal line, then they seemed to have additional strength. Both Kangaroo touchdowns were made by long drives down the field, end runs, line plunges and passes. The first came after a 65-yard march down the field, Morton and Dee carrying the ball. Dee carried the ball over the line. The second came after a similar march and Lingo raced through for a touchdown on a pass from Keeling. The Tiger scores resulted from an intercepted pass and a pass over the goal line. The final score was Austin College 13, Trinity University 13. Mor- ton, Dee, Keeling, and Lingo played outstanding games for the Kangaroos. The Austin line worked well as a unit with Milam, Blair, Ballard and Gaddis presenting a stone wall that was too much for the Tigers. Savage was exceptionally good at center. The next Conference game was with the Simmons Cowboys. The Cow- Page 132 THE CHROMASCOPF. Lingo Receives Short Forward Pass Behind Line of Scrimmage—Simmons Game boys emerged victorious with a score of 20 to 6. This game presented a puzzle to the Kangaroos and to the Kangaroo fans. The Austin boys gained at will in the center of the field, but when within striking distance of the goal always failed to net a gain. The Kan- garoo score resulted from a pass, Keeling to Lingo. The number of first downs made by the Kangaroos doubled the number made by the Cowboys. It seemed the Kangaroos lacked the final punch to carry the ball over the line after they had carried it yard after yard down the field. The Kangaroos relied mainly on their passing attack, although much ground was gained by runs. The Cowboys had a powerful backfield that gained much ground, and their passing was good. The University of Arkansas Razor- backs, with a record of losing no games on the home field for the season, were the opponents for the Kangaroos on November 19. The game was played at Fayetteville, Arkansas, and resulted in a defeat of 42 to 0 for the Kangaroos. “TiJIfP- THE CHROMASCOPE jJ„ A Completed Pass, Keeling to Moore—Arkansas Game D The Kangaroos were unable to check the Porkers and threatened the Arkansas goal only once when a series of passes to Moore and Gill placed the ball on the Arkansas 10-yard line, but the Porkers held the Austin team and kicked out of danger. Although the Kangaroos fought hard and long they were unable to make any headway on the wet and soggy Arkansas field. An outstanding feature of the game was the playing of Savage, Austin center. Varsity letters were awarded to Blair, Keeling, Savage, Lingo, Price, Ballard, Payne, Milam, Moore and Dee. Blair, Ballard, Savage, Lingo and Price finished their football careers in Austin College. Keeling lettered for the third year; Payne, Milam and Moore for the second, and Dee for the first. And so ended the 1927 season; one of heartbreaking results, yet showing that in the face of defeat after defeat the Kangaroo spirit did not waver. May such a spirit ever follow the Crimson and Gold, in victory or defeat, and may our standard always be “Sports- manship, then victory!” ‘Prof.” Worley Captain HE 1927 Vouchers Pouchers, again under the leadership of “Prof.” Worley, went through the 1927 season undefeated. This record is proof enough that the Poucher team will no doubt have several members on the varsity team next year. It is from this Poucher group that the greatest Austin College material has developed and looking over the new prospects it is certain that the next year’s club has some valuable men in the second-string group.

Basket Ball THE CHROMASCOPE The 1928 Season FOR the basket ball season of 1928, the Kangaroos had the use of the new gymnasium. The gymnasium was ready for use soon after the regular season started and was put into constant use for practice and for games. The season of 1928 was not as successful as might have been desired but it was indeed a good one in many ways. At the beginning, Griffin was shifted to the position of center to fill the vacancy left by Cavet, star center of the previous year. The combination of Lingo and Dee, guards, Griffin, center, and Keeling and Elmore, forwards, seemed a hard one to beat. Besides these, Charles Lingo there were Milam, Blair, and Moore, men from the last Captain year’s squad. Several pre-season games were played and won and great hopes were held for the season when it started. The first blow came with the loss of Elmore, one of the outstanding men, and this was followed shortly by the loss of Milam, who was forced to remain out of the game on account of injuries, and Keeling, who did not return after the first semester. With these misfortunes coming in such close succession, Coach Cawthon seemed at a loss as to the course to take, but with Lingo and Griffin as a nucleus, a new machine was built in mid-season. The first test of the new machine came when the Kangaroos met the Denton Eagles in a two-game series. The first game was lost to the Eagles by a score of 49 to 10, and the second by a score of 29 to 27.

Milam breaking through the defense The next few games played were practice games for the Kangaroos but in a two-game meet with the Commerce Teachers at Commerce the Austin team lost both games with the scores of 30 to 20 and 33 to 18. On the twenty-seventh of January the new gymnasium was informally opened by a game with the S. M. U. Mustangs, of Dallas, the Kangaroos being defeated by a score of 43 to 17. After several more local practice games the Kangaroos started on their Southern road trip. The first game was played with the Baylor Bears and was lost to the Bears by a score of 54 to 36. Dee was an outstanding player in this game, scoring 24 of Austin’s 36 points. The following night the Kangaroos met defeat at the hands of the Southwestern Pirates by the close score of 23 to 22. According to witnesses this game was poorly officiated. The next game was played with St. Mary’s in San Antonio and was won by the Kangaroos. The final score being 35 to 28. THE CHROMASCOPE The 1927 Season THE Track and Field Season for 1927 was in all respects the greatest that any Kangaroo team has ever enjoyed. A greater number of meets held with mpre men participating and a greater number of points scored were some of the satisfactory results of the season. The season to begin with saw only four letter-men back from the previous season, but it was not long until a number of promising newcomers began to show up to great promise. The first meet of the year was held with the Durant Teachers on Cashion Field. In this meet the Kangaroos were losers by seven points. During the course of the events Stormont, Austin letter-man, tore a leg muscle during the remainder of the season. The next two meets were in South Texas with the Stephen F. Austin Teachers College and the Huntsville Teachers. In the first meet Austin College was victorious by a count of 61 to 56. The second meet was also won by the Kanga- roos; Henderson, ill and in bad condition, covering himself with glory by winning the 100, 220, and broad jump. the chromascopf. 1927 Track Meet The Kangaroos next met the Horned Frogs of T. C. U. As in 1925 and 1926 the score was even with only the relay to decide the winner. The Austin College team emerged from this meet with the big end of the score, the final count being Kangaroos 61, Frogs 56. On April 23, in Dallas, the S. M. U. Mustangs, Denton Eagles, and the Austin College Kangaroos held a triangle meet. The Mustangs won first, Denton second, and Austin third. The Kanga- roos succeeded, however, in scoring in every event and by defeating the fast Mustangs in the mile relay won a neat honor. Elmore and Henderson placed first and second in both the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes and Price won the half-mile. Fincher won the javelin. The next meet, also a triangle meet, was held in Abilene, between Simmons University, Abilene Christian College, and the Austin College Kangaroos. Simmons took first place in this meet with the Kangaroos placing second. Davis Elder Fincher, M. Fincher, O. Elmore Henderson 1928 ? ? 9 Another meet with the Durant Teachers ended in a defeat for the Teachers of 63 to 54. The Kangaroos placed first in every event with the exception of the mile and two-mile races. The East Texas State Teachers College were the next opponents of the Kangaroos and they were defeated by a score of 80 for the Kangaroos to their own score of 30. The team from Com- merce failed to win a single first place. The season ended with Austin College being represented in the Con- ference meet at Howard Payne College. In this meet Elmore won second in the 220, Fincher won first in the javelin and second in high jump. Letters were awarded to Elmore, Morton, Stormont, Fincher, O., Fincher, M., Turner, Elder, Henderson, Davis, Milam, and Capt. Price. Stormont was appointed to lead the Kangaroos in 1928. The season ended after a very favorable showing had been made by the Austin College Kangaroos. THE CHROMASCOPF. The 1928 Season THE Austin College Co-Eds, under the careful coach- ing of Virgil Ballard, carried on the splendid work of the past few years and turned out a great team to meet the opponents for this year. Having lost three of the foremost players of last year, Ballard had to develop much new material before a competent machine could be put into action. With several practice games, however, a winning group was soon in evidence and the regular season started. The team was composed of Gwyn and Taliaferro, forwards; Whitehurst and Davis dividing time for jump center, and Captain Taylor and Warren at guard. Drane, the regular side center of the 1927 team, was also played at a newcomer, ran at side center, showing rare speed and ability in spite of her inexperience. Gretchen Benzel was played at guard, dis- playing some real ability at this position. Throughout the season practice games were played with the Denison Y. team and several practice games were played with the Oklahoma Presbyterian College team from Durant. ■ I • Jf « � I5-II� Hi HWw Top row—Ballard, Coach; Fincher, W.; Whitehurst, Warren, Davis, Clyce, Benzel, Business Manager; Drane, Taliaferro, Benzel, G.; Adrian Bottom row—Woods, Swan, Morris, Taylor, Captain; Dickerson, Fincher, L.; Atkinson, THE CHROMASCOPE Gwyrt shoots for basket As a whole the season was very successful, the Austin Co-Eds losing only a few of the games played, and with the development of some very valuable material for the team of next year. The Austin College Co-Ed letters were awarded to the following girls: Taylor, Whitehurst, Warren, Benzel, A., Gwyn, Taliaferro, Drane, and Atkin- Credit should be given to those girls who did not letter but worked hard and earnestly during the entire season. On account of the lack of experience and ability to play as the first team, they did not have the chance to play in any of the games, but the splendid work and spirit shown is evidence that these same girls will make the team during the next year. Aside from basket ball, the girls of the college have taken an increasing in- terest in other phases of athletic activi- ties, and the time is not far when ath- letics for the young ladies of the institu- tion will be developed to a much higher degree than at the present time.

The Club was organized to bring the town students in closer contact with the boarding students and the College in general. As it now exists the organization serves as a connecting link between the College and the city. The Sherman Club is a staunch supporter of Austin College ath- letics and during its existence has done more than any other organi- zation on the campus to advance the Kangaroos on the athletic field. Through its connections and influence here in Sherman it has helped to bring many of the local high school athletes to Austin College. The Club serves as a medium of growth to the College here in Sherman in that it encourages the Sherman students to seek their higher education at home and the success of the organization in this field is attested to by the fact that for the past four or five years the number of Sherman students attending Austin College has steadily increased, reaching a climax this year with an unprecedented percent- age of Sherman students among the Freshman class.

During the first semester two dances were offered in October and November. The second semester included a delightful Spring dance and the organization brought its activities to a close with a successful Commencement dance. The Sherman Club plans for next year are already being laid, and judging from past history it is certain that the new year will bring greater results than ever before.

THE CHROMASCOPF To Cj raduate Crip Livingston Holy City, Texas Crip is representative of his class—he expected to graduate every year—this year he made it. Maybe the faculty grew sym- pathetic when they saw the gray hairs ap- pearing in his head. Crip is very proficient at “bulling,” and was named for the All- American Bulling team for 1928. Muddywater, Miss. Bonnie Maxey Bonnie is a scholar. She is good at her books; in fact she is good all the time. She has shown some remarkable traits of char- acter, and others which weren’t so remarkable. She is studying to be a Dean of Women, and Buddy Savage Hogwallow, Texas Buddy made his first appearance on the campus six years ago, and the Co-Eds have managed to keep him here ever since. Buddy represents the Co-Eds’ ideal in sex-appeal. During his sophomore year Buddy won first place in the beauty contest. We could say i lot r 2 about him, but Choc Taylor Hogwater Flats, Texas Choc is named after the well known beverage and is one of the most promir students in the College. She has become a very proficient athlete. She starred in Track. Many is the time she has beaten the entire class to the door at the dismissal of the Apologetics class.

'T'HIS book, The Chromascope of 1928, gives you a searching, comprehensive moving picture of the College from the viewpoint of the one most vitally inter- ested—that is, the student. If you are interested in going to college, the book should tell you a convincing story. As this book presents the student’s view- point, so do the catalogue and literature present the viewpoint of the faculty, the official viewpoint. From this viewpoint you will examine the curriculum—the pre- medical, pre-law, pre-ministerial, teacher- training, engineering-science, business ad- ministration and journalism courses—and also matters of cost, regulations, etc., etc. It takes this to complete the picture, and it is yours for the asking.
