TEXAS Dedication To one who has endeared himself to all students and who strives for our educational advancement we affection- ately dedicate the 1934 Chromascope to Luther Ewing Petty % SHERMAN HALL THOMPSON HALL POWER HOUSE ENGRAVER PRINTER Administration f DR. E. B. TUCKER President of Austin College TO THE CLASS OF 1934 Much of the knowledge acquired with toil and pain will soon be forgot- ten, some will be out-mode;l and must b? learned all over again if you keep up with progress; many customs, habits, and attitudes of your day pass; but there are some things that endure, whose survival value reaches beyond the ephemeral knowledge and practices of the present and defies even the slow tooth of time. If you have not caught them, your college education is a fail- ure; if they are in the warp and woof of your being, you are already a success. Some of these things are—the willingness and the ability to work; the habit of honest thoroughness; the exaltation of worthy purpose; true devotion to noble ideals of life; scorn of the low, ignoble and debasing; love of truth and righteousness: a high resolve to serve God and man; and a spirit that knows not defeat by circumstance or condition. When the “New Deal” is but a memory, and the NR A a passed page in history, these things will remain of eternal value. Think on these things. EVERETT BRACKEN TUCKER. FACULTY Thomas Stone Clyce, D.

ATHLETIC REVIEW The 1933 football season proved disastrous as far as victories were concerned, but yet we must consider the handicaps under which the Kangaroos labored. At the beginning of the season new coaches faced new men. Coaches Morehart and Milam found it very difficult to as- semble a winning team from men who were new to each other and unaccustomed to new methods and styles of football. The games all showed that the Kangaroos are capable of turning in victories when evenly matched and in a fighting frame of mind. Even though faced with a series of defeats the boys were still willing to play each game fighting every second. This shows the true spirit of the Kan- garoos. A much finer spirit than that showed by the student body. Turning to the 1934 basketball season again we see the same hard- ships. Coach Milam had very little material with which to combat a tough schedule. Before half the season had passed there were only eight men upon whom Milam could rely. Again the same spirit of determina- tion which every club in the conference fears was manifested. The Austin College tennis team again proved itself one of the strong- est in the Texas Conference. For several years this sport has proved successful, bringing wide publicity to the College. Betty Turner Terese Lewis Elizabeth Pruitt Organizations THE CHROMASCOPE The 1934 Chromascope published by representatives of the Senior class takes this opportunity to thank Southwestern Engraving Company, Lewis Printing Company and Mrs. C.

THE BOOMERANG “FOGHORN” FOREWORD We, the Staff of the 19S4 Chrom sscope, do reverently and lovingly dedicate the Boomerang to our dear friend and fellow classmate, Phillip “Foghorn” Cockerham. Bottoms up to a gentleman (?), a scholar (?), and a crooner of note (? ?)! Foghorn has toiled with us, has listened to our cry of woe, has been a worthy citizen. As time draws nigh for “Fillup” to venture forth into this world of trials and tribulations, it is with a heavy heart that we part with him. A characteristic of “Foghorn” which we will always remember is his beautiful tenor voice and his ever present sack of Bull Durham (not to mention his supply of bull elsewhere). Undoubtedly this honored classmate will be a success in any field of life (providing it’s a cotton field). His splendid voice should carry him a long way—preferably to Sing Sing. So Adios, “Foghorn”! Best wishes! But by the way, please return my shirts, ties, etc., before leaving. Sincerely, Editor of the Boomerang. an oil well in th efamily (and I haven’t failed to le I've a position to uphold and five smackers isn’t go id so I eked out of it by saying tt Well, so long. Pop.

C. Gigolo bureau composed of: Prather, Buchanan, Cox, Mathews, Bryant, Crook and Clements. If they don’t turn a mediocre social function into a howling success, your money will be refunded. BETTY BIDS FAREWELL By Prexy Well, I’m finishing up this year much to my joy and if you’re glad to get rid of me don’t think for one min- ute that it’s not mutual. I suppose it does get pretty tiresome having to look and listen to me twice each week in chapel but as I said before—it’s mutual. I’ve had a good year—in fact some- thing for yo uambitious mugs to strive for. For instance—business manager of the Chromascope, student body president, manager of the football team, member of the quartet, and too other rackets that I haven’t space to write. Now I’m not one to brag but that’s a pretty good record for a little runt like me—besides, who started this argument anyway? Well, I’m in love and can’t be bothered.

Margaret must have had to go all the way to the college for Helen and Elizabeth.” Lankford: “I wonder what blouse Betty has on.” (Sorority sisters enter and greet affectionately.) Turner: “Say, did I have a good time at the dance last night! (forced smiles.) Especially after the football team got there. I was so mad when Clemo called and then Prather, and I couldn’t break my date with McKee. But he is the sweetest thing and you know, he takes me everywhere.” Kinsey (interrupting..: “Let’s get down to business.” Stout: “Max said to be sure to invite Cox,” Turner (whispering to Pruitt): “That Max. I could really go for him.” Kinsey: “Margaret, are you ever going to decide who you want; and you, Beetle?” Binkley: “Well, I thought if Betty doesn’t mind I’d invite Prather.” Turner: “I think we ought to invite High School girls. Jimmie Bryant likes them. Jid he tell you about the woodpeckers in Dallas, Beetle?” Hudson: “Yes, he told me.” (politely). Lewis (worried): “I wonder if the Phi Sigma Alphas will return this dance?” Turner: “I hope they have something else. I had the grandest time at their picnic, was with Jimmie and we really had fun.

CHRONIC GRIPERS Milton Buchanan from sunny Itasca— Oh my, Oh my, why did I ever come to this school? My socks are dirty, my suit needs pressing, I haven’t any clean shirts, I’m out of Bull Durham, I’m not getting enough to eat, the food is terrible, I’ve got to take a bath, and J. B. is working us to death in football. I’m behind in all my classes, the Profs, don’t like me, and my shoes need half-soling. I wish I was the son of the idle rich. Oh my, Oh my! Hal Moody—They don’t give tennis players any recognition—Why don’t all the girls fall for me? I’m athletic, a neat little stepper on the dance floor, and not half bad on looks. I attend all football and basket- ball games, criticizing every move they make. I never went out for either but at that they are too uncouth for me. It’s more fun to razz the players.—Prof., will you explain that case again—the one we had day before yesterday? Who said tennis wasn’t rough? Why, even ping- pong is dangerous—one time I got hit in the head while playing ping- pong and was unconscious. Well, anyway, I’m a good boy—I have nev- er given my father any trouble but at that he does worry about me. “Black Magic” BOUNCING BEHEMOTHS Each week there has been assembled at Kidd-Key a special dancing class with the sole objective of reducing. This array of aesthetically in- clined co-eds is composed of the fleshier members of our student body. In fact, more weight than the football team. This aggregation of femininity will soon give a recital as a celebra- tion of lost weight. The program follows: Spring Dance..................Marian Ricketts, Laura Scoggins Dance of the Elves........Kinsey, Hudson, Turner and Matlock Adagio...............................Sprague, Ernest, Slaughter Dance of the Seven Veils..................Tillman, Jean Stevens Carioca.......................Lewis, Lankford and Zimmerman Rhumba .........................................Denton, McClure This recital will begin promptly at eight o’clock at Leisure Lodge. There will be no charge—except insanity to the participants. Come early. THE WELL-DRESSED MAN DRESS WELL AND SUCCEED By Perrin “Mannikin” Smith I hail from the plains country where men are men and women are scarce. My success as the Austin College fashion plate is due largely to the clothes I wear. (Cute crack, isn’t it?) In all seriousness, I am quite fond of clothes and dressing neatly. My closest rival this year appears to have been McKee Yant; however, I “Mannikin could put on a gunny-sack and look bet- ter than he does. It’s not what you wear but how you wear it. Clothes don’t make the man but they help to make the women. Which brings us all down to one thing—Dress well and succeed. LEST WE FORGET The close of this school year brings to an end the college career of A. C.’s most colorful character, J. A. Patureaux. He who did his “wuk” well, “lonewolfed” four years, and shot “de boid.” HOW TO MAKE MONEY By John Hutt When I assumed the editorship of Kanga- roo I was in a very low financial position. But after editing a few editions I am now able to live on the fat of the land—new clothes, trips to Dallas, plenty of dates and a popularity which no one can ever attain. The only thing that worries me is the fact that I must release the goose that lays the golden egg. Many have asked me for my formula for financial success. Not being of a selfish tern- permanent I will divulge those innate traits. First gain the editorship of your col- lege paper. Then turn out several (I mean “Chesterfield” Hutt two) good editions. But the next four editions should carry three (four, if you can get thtm) pages of cigarette ads. In this manner so much profit will be reaped that anyone can obtain the afore-mentioned fat of the land. I’m not sure of my plans for next year. I had hopes of securing the Chromascope graft for 1934 and ’35. From this I could very easily glean the necessary funds to finish school. But I went to sleep and let the Beaumont Club steal the election. Now I guess I will have to work like the rest of you common mortals. Woe is me! But anyway I made chumps out of you for one year. Why did I spend all that money! Rosalie Fincher: “Did you dream that you were riding with Lyle Hill last night?” Sarah Ferry: “Yes. How did you guess it?” Fincher: “I saw you walking in your sleep.” Notice! For that school girl complexion use goat’s milk on your mug. Have a skin that n like to twitch! Yours for rosy cheeks and cute curls! Robert “Goldelocks” Bullock. Love’s Labor Lost Nancy Jane Williams Tom Petty Allen Gammill George Mason Burnett Cox Margaret Kudd Virginia Burgdorff What a Man The picture at the left is a true concep- tion of Clements—BLANK------------. Clemo, the man who expects to be the hit of everything, wants attention all the time, expects to go with the most beautiful and popular girls and yet has so little to offer. Clements came to Austin College with the one great desire to become the “Beau Brummel” of the campus. In his early days at A. C. he tried to use his wits to win the hearts of the fair co-eds (Turner, Matlock, Kinsey, Hudson). But it was cold stuff. Used by their grandmothers to rock them to sleep. His athletic prowess was the next subject he dealt upon. In putting his merits before the women he would write letters bragging especially about his “body beautiful.” Well, to end it all, if he were really good-looking, or not so skinny, or—oh, well, you think of something—it would be a different story. Watch him next year, ladies. Dream Days College Is where A young man in soiled flannels and Soft shirt Dreams of silver moon-glints On stately poplars. Dreams of strange zephyrs, errant, Blowing a pretty girl’s hair, Dreams of the strains of a waltz That played where the lanterns glow, Where the dark hold retreats He dreams of youth . . . He dreams of Life, and warm Love He dreams . . . As he pounds out a Seventeen hundred Word thesis On A dizzy typewriter. Advertisers It is to you that we owe the publication of the 1934 Chromascope.
