Tucker, President of Austin College TO THE CLASS OF 1931: AS you leave these walls with the association of the years behind you, I would apply to you the exclamation of the great apostle, “Behold, a great effectual door is open. . . and there are many adversaries!” Verily, the door opening before prepared and ambitious young America is one of almost unlimited opportunity and noble service,—“effectual,” full of work, indeed. And the “many adversaries” are rather from within than from without—low ideals and unworthy ambitions. May you overcome them all through the vision to see, the courage to dare, and the patience to do,—serenely, happily, and with a high and holy faith that presses on toward the mark! E. B. Tucker. Edwin Kidd, President of Kidd Key College and Conservatory TO THE STUDENTS OF KIDD KEY AND AUSTIN COLLEGE: TT gives me great pleasure to call to the attention of the two correlated in' stitutions, Kidd Key and Austin College, the success of this correlation during the past school year. Undoubtedly these two colleges have been making history in bringing about this relation which has interested school authorities all over the country and I believe that you will agree with me that this plan has been a decided success. It is my sincere judgment that this relation especially for young lady stU' dents, more clearly solves the problem of proper surroundings of these students than any other plan devised up to this time. Let all the students of the two institutions aggressively enter the field this summer with the object of increasing the student body of the two institutions. Extending to you my best wishes, I am Most sincerely yours, Edwin Kidd. ixxl key ( CHROMASCOPEjR BOARD OF TRUSTEES Bacf{ Row: Fant, Rolle, Coleman. Middle Row: Gribble, Morrison, Roberts, Thompson.

Upon leaving the institution you will have feelings of mingled joy and sorrow. It will be hard for you to adjust yourselves to new conditions. You will really begin in a new sense, depending now more upon yourselves than ever before. May you go forth with real confidence in the value of your accomplishments, and feel that the years spent here call for better service out in the world. May you realize every laudable ambition. May your days be long, happy and prosperous. God bless you. T. S. Clyce. DEAN OF MEN, REGISTRAR AND LIBRARIAN WALTER HUGH DRANE Dean of Men and Professor of Mathematics University of Mississippi, A.

AUSTIN COLLEGE believes in the things that will help the students most in life both in and out of college. On this account, the government of the student body is turned over to the students, who, with the coooeration of the faculty, make their own laws and enforce them. The nucleus of the stu- dent government is the Mens’ Executive Committee and the Womens’ Execu- tive Committee which co-operate in handling the business of the student body. The Mens’ Executive Committee is composed 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 duties of the Mens’ Committee are to take charge of all cases of disobedience of the men of the Student Body, the procedure be- ing much the same as that of the courts of our land. Austin College has the Honor System because without the principle of honor in his life the work of a man is in vain, in so far as the greater and nobler things of life are concerned. The Executive Committee is also the center of the Honor System. Charles Shoultz, President, Student Body CHROMASCOPE JfeaOfeSSfcslQ GIRLS’ EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE U THE Girls’ Council, which is the governing body of the women of Austin College, is composed of all the girls of the student body who are classified as regular students. This orgnaization meets once each month to consider matters that pertain to the welfare of the co-eds and the College as a whole. One of the chief objectives of the Council this year has been the raising of money for the Girls’ Scholarship Fund that is being created, whereby some girl, each year, will receive a scholarship to the College. Under the direction of Naomi Giles and Martha Stormont the fund has been materially increased. The Girls’ Executive Committee, com' posed of representatives of the four classes, handles all cases of dishonorable conduct and discipline among the women of the Student Body. Besides working in every way for the welfare of the College as a whole, the Council has tried also to promote a spirit of good will among the girls themselves. The Freshmen have proved themselves good sports, and the upper classmen, cap able leaders. Page 31 Naomi Giles, President, Girls' Council MESSAGES FROM THE CLASSES MESSAGE OF THE SENIOR CLASS: The present graduating class feels that it has an honor which is of peculiar distinction to the class of '31 alone. Austin College proudly held her own during the period of development, which may be properly classified as the “Old Regime . The Class of ’31 entered and served under the “Old Regime”. The Soph and Junior years of this class wit- nessed a period of transition between the old and new Austin College. Consolidation and uncer- tainty were in the air but we did all in our power to see the consolidated schools located on the Austin College Campus. In our Senior Year we have seen Austin Col- lege in it new form, consolidated, and in addi- tion, co-operative in its work with Kidd Key. The College of four years ago and today seem like different schools, but this class has welcomed every change for the advancement of the school. We see nothing but bright things for the stu- dents of the future. Paul Sanders, President of Senior Class MESSAGE OF THE JUNIOR CLASS: The Junior Class of '31, the graduating class of '32, although not as large as some of the classes has been very successful. Members of the Junior class are leaders of every phase of campus acti- vities—athletics, musical organizations, publi- cations and scholarship. This year has been successful and the Junior Class feels proud of what it has done to keep the Kangaroo Spirit and the spirit of the combined student bodies of Kidd Key and Austin College. George Crosthwaite President of Junior Class MESSAGE OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS: The Sophomore Class of '31 has been repre- sented in all phases of college life. It has given support to the literary clubs, to the religious organizations, to the band, and all athletics; and many other movements which have been en- gaged in by the class.

O. Leath, Dean of Kidd Key College MESSAGE TO THE INSTITUTIONS: rT 'HE year of 1930 has come and gone. We view it in retrospect. We try to learn its lessons as a guide for the future. Austin College and Kidd Key College and Conservatory have co-operated in administrative affairs and in stu- dent activities. Among other things they have merged their college annuals. This plan of cooperation has resulted in enriching the curriculum and the social life of either school. It has brought added numbers, friendships, and financial resources to either school. By eliminating unnecessary overlapping of courses it has resulted in economies. The boards have decided to continue the plan of cooperation next year with slight modifications to the interest of main- taining the independence and identity of either school. Kidd Key will resume the conducting of enough literary departments so as to maintain her standing among junior colleges in the state department of education. In the adminis- trative affairs Austin College and Kidd students will be more clearly defined respectively. There will be no abatement in co-operation in student affairs. J. O.

Mr. Blitz kindly offered his services to the Rotarians of Sherman, to assist them in their movement for the aid of the poor. A record breaking crowd filled the Hall in an effort to see this eminent celloist give his interpretation of classical music. Prof. Blitz was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Blitz who has been filling the place at the piano during all of the recitals given by her husband. KEY VTOTHING draws the eyes of both institutions and especially those of Kidd Key, both old and new students, more than the annual George Washington Celebration. This takes place on George Washington’s birthday and lasts throughout the day. Teas, dinners for alumnae, and a formal recep- tion are the main features of the day. This year it seemed that there were about as many A. C. boys present as there were Kidd Key girls. This picture was taken during the reception in the halls of Main Hall on the K. K. College Campus.

CHROMASCOPE JfeaOfeSSfcslQ PEP SQUAD y rT 'HE Girls' Pep Squad was organized in 1927 for the purpose of providing the young ladies a chance to develop more pep on the side lines during the football season and to give special drill work on the field. Through the combined efforts of the girls from both schools, the squad has been able to accomplish more this year than they would have otherwise done. The success of this organization is phenomenal and should prove an asset to the college next year during the football season. During the past year Mrs. Grigg has sponsored and drilled the squad, and Helen Morgan and Hazel Menefee efficiently filled the cheer leader positions.

' I 'HE Pouchers did not have as many games scheduled this year as in previous years, although they enjoyed a successful season, by winning a majority of their battles. Many times during the year the Pouchers were outclassed, but they were not out'fought; and they showed the true Kangaroo spirit, battling every game till the last whistle. It is from the Poucher teams that the greatest Kangaroo material has devel oped, and from these new prospects that have shown up in spring training, it is certain that the next year’s club will have some mighty valuable men. key CHROMASCOPE JSsflOft SfeflOfes M AUSTIN COLLEGE 7 T.

We had a good team and the men were good players, but it just seemed that breaks were against us, and the team just couldn’t get going. Another thing that hurt was that we lost two games to Trinity. Coach Grigg since he has been here, had never lost to the Tigers, and it was pretty hard meat to try to chew, on both a defeat here and one in Waxahachie. There were several good teams in the Texas Conference race this year, and the Austin College team feels that its losses will not disgrace them in the eyes of their admirers.

However, later on the council found it necessary to drop the Girls’ athletics from their list, and the squad this year has almost dwindled away from lack of support, both financially and from the student body. The team loses their manager this year, but we are hoping that they will return with the hope and ambition next year of putting girls’ athletics back on its feet. The staff wishes to take this opportunity to apologize to Coach George Matlock for not being able to secure a picture of him, but it was not possible for him to be present when the pictures of the squad were being made.

While the paper has not attained the standards to which it had aspired, we hope that it has been to some degree satisfactory and representative of college activities during the year. We have tried to show no partiality in our publica- tion to any one or to any group on the campus, but to merely put in print what seems to us to be the Spirit of Old Austin College which we have all learned to cherish. We shall not give Shadow an opportunity to express any of his indulging pointers, but we hope that he has not been too severe in his uncanny efforts to place the individual student in embarrassing situations, both at home and on the campus.

Editors and Business Managers have said that their task of moulding a year book has been that of a hard one, but the Editor and Pusiness Manager this year believe that they can truthfully say that they have had one of the hardest jobs ever presented to a staff. That is, in trying to publish one annual to take the place of two. The plan of the combined student bodies was new to everyone and we didn't know exactly how to go about it all. There were many questions as to classification, et cetera, and yet we have tried to build it all in such a way that it will not lower the standards of the year books of either school that have been published in the preceding years. We have endeavored to refrain from mentioning money, as much as possible, and have tried to make the planning and developing on the book a pleasure for the students, the faculty, and everyone who was connected with the staff.

The membership is com- posed of the Sherman High School graduates and the graduates of other schools who live in Sherman and go to Austin College. The regular social meetings this year have been held twice a month with the members of the organization as hostesses. As the Sherman Co-ed Club is one of the leading organizations of the campus, insofar as it has carried out its social functions of the year, good results are expected of the club in the years to come. Ops SFsOl KEY CHROMASCOPE JfeaOfeSSfcslQ SHERMAN CLUB 0 rT'HE members of the Sherman Club are those students of the College who ■ - consider Sherman their home. The purpose of the club is that of organizing the town students so that they can more effectively support the college in all of its activities and that they may enjoy the pleasures of an enthusuastic organization. The Sherman Club has always been a firm supporter of the Kangaroos in athletics insofar as every year since its organization it has helped send some athlete to school. Members of the club are also active in other fields—such as, debate clubs, scholarship, dramatics and publications. The club uses its in- fluence in getting prospective students to attend Austin College. “Sis” Aston served as president during the past year. OfSSFsal KEY rT'HE purpose of the Student Y. M. C. A., of which the Austin College Association is one of the oldest in the State, is as follows: To lead to a belief in a personal God; to effect membership in a Christian Church; to de- velop Christian character and to make Christianity practicable. The motivating force of the College Y. M. C. A. is found in the cabinet, of which the picture appears above, as well as the student president and the general secretary, who serve as advisers and leaders in the work. The cabinet members have a double responsibility: To serve as initiators of the work of their particular committees, to constitute an executive committee which in addition to its official duties, exerts a positive Christian influence. The membership of the Y. M. C. A. consists of the men of the college who agree sympathetically with the fourfold purpose outlined above. Although most of the work of the Y. M. C. A. is accomplished by personal contacts that go unnoticed, interesting and tangible features have a prominent place. Outstanding among these for the past year were a series of meetings held by Dr. Lawrence Wharton. KEY Page 172 Y. W C. A. KEY ' I 'HIS marks the fourth year of existence of the Austin College Y. W.

This year the organization was very fortunate in having special speakers as their guests, those who were interested in personal work and young life, who brought very inspiring messages to the students.

TT has always been the aim of the Society to give each member a valuable part of his education which is not touched upon by his regular college courses, namely, the art of public speaking. The power of expressing one’s thoughts forcefully, and yet gracefully and in a cultivated manner, we may say, is a necessary qualification for one’s complete success. In such work one becomes familiar with parliamentary procedure, acquires ease in speaking, iim proves both one’s language and knowledge by oratory and debate, and in other ways prepares himself better for life.

The purpose of the weekly meetings has been to advance spiritual development, to promote discussion, and to give inspiration. Prayer and Bible study are stressed and the influence of this organization is a great source of strength to its members.

OUR CONCEPTION OF “SHADOW” “OHADOW , Shadowette, “I Hear and I See have laughed in the face of, scorned, ridiculed, broken up forlorn lovers, degraded the ideals of love, and delivered forth for public criticism the innermost secrets and vows of the students of the honest and straight-forward student bodies of both schools. These creatures on the two campuses basque in the merciless ridicule that they have passed down on the lovable student bodies, but then came the dawn and Shadow’s shadow has uncovered the identity of these emaciated pieces of would- be humanity. They have fed on the flesh and bones of the bodies of those who have died from broken heart. They like human hyenas and jackals have laughed at the inhuman and damaging statements of love, finance, faculty, and beer drinkers. They rest assured that they are rolling in wealth and hot pork sandwiches, but after the judgment day they will look UP into the eyes of the innocent student bodies who have assumed their place in the heavenly reward and cry that one drop of water may be placed on their tongue as they bathe in fire and hot brimestone. We would like to know who appointed them as the judge of this campus and the actions of the students on this campus. We find they were appointed by themselves. This discovery came only after much investigation by our staff be-whiskered detectives .... not to be mistaken for the Smith Brothers. After going into the character of each of these obnoxious and discordant members of this group of dilapidated and personified half wits we find that the only place that they could be a big shot would be in the war. We have had their would-be writings examined thoroughly and we find no trace of intelligence and their outward appearance is absolutely void of any human traits or actions and a test on their sound proof skull shows no signs that brains are housed on the interior.
