COPYRIGHT 1937 WAYNE E. ATKINS Editor BILLY BLUNK Manager V V V V The nineteen-thirty-seven Vv CHROMASCOPE V ■ ; V AUSTIN COLLEGE Sherman, Texas V V A Published by I 1 The Senior Class There is a heap of living: crammed in college life and the pace is often so rapid that we fail to realize the labyrinth of forces that interact upon our person. A host of new friends are created, social experience dispels timidity with confidence, emotional impulses dwindle as intellectual concepts are given pre-eminence our actions, modes of thinking spring into being which convert bits of knowlege into wisdom, and in short, the old person produced in a limited sphere of experience vanishes as a new person is integrated into This Chromascope is committed to the purpose of reproducing the events of the year in permanent form so that you may look back on your college experience and assimilate the happy experiences and pleasant memories of life at Austin College. The staff has tried faithfully to adhere to the true meaning of the word “Chromascope” by assembling a “colorful view” of this year’s student life. DEDICATION v' Because he is a learned scholar yet possessor of wisdom far bej'ond the stated forms of learning; be- cause by sharing his keen religious insight he shows the truth in moral virtue; because for a third of a century his disposition has always been tolerant while his life has been a rugged sign post showing students the finer life; but above all, because in stu- dent slang he is a “regular guy,” we, the staff, dedi- cate this 1937 edition of the Chromascope to ROBERT RITCHIE HARWELL, Ph. D. ROBERT RITCHIE HARWELL, Ph. D. SHERMAN HALL As the mantled ivy Clings to thy sacred walls. So our memories Entwine themselves about thee. Much confusion thrice weekly—an un- raised hand—silence— then the inevitable chapel program which brings thoughts of lyceum speakers, devotionals, and student meetings. Borne on the wings Of low sighing breezes, Our thoughts will be Carried back to thee SOUTHEAST VIEW (above) WEST VIEW (right) of SHERMAN HALL THE NEW ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Visions of the new administration building-are becoming an actuality. The immediate future will bring to pass the fond dreams of college friends for the “skeleton” is com- ing to life, and ouly in our memories will we look back to the escapades committed within its shelter. That for which dreamers have dreamt. And eager hearts have fondly hoped. SCIENCE BUILDING Many hours have been spent in this building in search of truth. But scien- tific truth never makes one free un- til five o’clock. Knowledge is the lamp Which lights our pathway. Even unto the close Of Life’s brief day. The memory brightens o'er the past, As when the sun, concealed Behind some cloud that near us hangs, Shines on a distant field. A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS This is the first year of the “Social Se- curity Act,” a great experiment in govern- ment, economics, and sociology. Whether it succeeds or fails, let us never forget that ultimately there is no security except in the character, integrity, and unselfish devotion of the citizens of America. It is the ardent hope of Austin College that the class of 1937 is a real contribution to the security of church and state.

Although this has been an unusually small class, it has made Austin College history. Its accomplish- ments have been many and its contributions to the college are innumerable. We have contributed ten out of twenty-two lettermen to the football team. Among them being two All-conference selections and two being chosen to captain the team next year. We contributed five out of ten lettermen to the basketball team, among them being the captain of the team. Two of the four members of the tennis team were juniors and also many of Our contributions have not been only to athletics, but in every phase of college life. We contributed one of the pep leaders and many of the pep squad members. We published a very good Kangaroo and have placed an officer in each of the student organizations. In our resume of the activities of the past year we find that we have contributed leaders to all walks of the college life. It naturally follows that we will produce even more leaders to the campus life next year. We will be the seniors of the college and will be looked to for the leadership. Underclassmen will look look to us for guidance and for an example for their school life and activities. What will be our effect upon them and their future lives which will be in the molding? We must realize our great responsibility and act accordingly. We must give the right kind of leadership to those who are looking up to us and trusting us. The only way in which this can he done is to follow the teachings of the greatest leader of life, Jesus Christ. May the blessings of God be upon you and prosper and help you in everything.

Linda Wharton Kathryn Reynolds Lometa McAfee OFFICERS President Business Manager PURPOSE The Kangarooters were organized last fall, to meet a need that has long been recognized. For the first time in several years, the college has had an enthusiastic, well- uniformed pep squad, which has proved a colorful advertisement for the Kangaroos in “down-town parade” as well as in their carefully drilled formations at football games. The success of the Kangarooters has been due largely to the loyal support of the student body. The continued interest and support of the students is coveted, that the organization may be a permanent asset to Austin College. Joseph Marshall Keith Linda Wharton OFFICERS President PURPOSE The Pre-Medical Society is composed of certain members of the student body who are interested in the study of medicine.

Each day in Luckett Hall draws the curtain on a scene from the drama of life, comedy, tragedy, melo-drama, and episodes of every description are enacted in an illogical manner which betrays the mental attitude of the actors. Since room stacking, fish fries, noisy radios and roudy neighbors, and the like are past, we begin to realize that dormitory life isn’t so bad after all. KANGAROOS Coach Freeland came to Austin College in 1935 as Athletic Di- rector, Professor of Physical Education, line coach and football coach. When the need arose in 1936 for head football and basket- ball coach, he took on these extra duties and proved that he could handle what really should be a two-man job. Thinking always of the boys on the team and working for their best interest, he has endeared himself in the hearts of everyone in school. Under his coaching and guidance, Austin College teams should have successful seasons in the future, and no matter what the score may be his teams will be doing their best. As a sponsor she has been the best but as a place kicker she does not rate so high. Running with speed enough to kick the ball out of the stadium, she sent the ball exactly one foot from the spot where it was held in the opening Texas Conference game with McMurry at Dallas. Seriously, the football team was in- deed honored to have Juanita as its sponsor during the past scholastic year. MISS JUANITA DITTO Sponsor Backs: Steen, Gilliland, Johnson, Harris. RESUME OF THE SEASON By Coach E. Y. Freeland At the beginning of our 1936 football season we expected great things even though the morale was low because of the loss of our coach, Bill Pierce. We opened our season with the strong East Texas Teachers with only eight days work behind us. Commerce completed a long pass on us and succeeded in defeating us, 6 to 0. The next week we journeyed to Durant for our game with Southeastern Teachers. In the midst of a down- pour of rain, Johnson and Pruitt began to plunge behind beautiful block- ing to win, 19 to 6. On a hot Saturday afternoon in the “dust bowl” at Dallas, McMurry Indians eked out a 12 to 9 victory over the Kangaroos in the remaining five minutes. Failure of the backs to hold the ball and knock down passes proved the Freelanders downfall and they were trimmed IS to 0, by the Daniel Baker Hill Billies. The Howard Payne Yellow Jackets came to Sherman with only one defeat and continued their record as they stung a 14 to 10 win over the Kangaroos. The next week North Texas Teachers invaded Sherman and the night would have suited better for water polo as neither team tallied. We trek- ked to Fort Worth for a clash with the Texas Wesleyan Rams. The Kangaroos made a beautiful goal line stand and fumbling kept our offense from clicking and the contest ended in a stale mate, 0 to 0. Abilene Christian appeared on the Fair Park turf and on that night the Hoppers really got started. Thirty-two boys got in the contest and when the smoke cleared away, the Kangaroos were on the long end of a 58 to 14 score. The next week, Bill Pierce’s St. Edwards Tigers came to Sherman for the annual game. The game was a thriller all the way and the boys took great pride in showing their former mentor that they could still play football. Austin was ahead 20 to 0 when the melee ended. On Thanksgiving Day we hopped to Waxahachie to meet the all-time, ancient rivals, Trinity University. Under Steen’s able guidance we rallied from behind and scored two touchdowns and succeeded in defeating the Tigers 12 to 7 even though psychology and a senior team in Trinity’s own back yard handicapped us.

No man that ever wore the Crimson and Gold is more respected by coaches, players and students than “Big Mac.” Lynn playing his third year at tackle and as Captain led the Kangaroos with the utmost fidelity. The “Ape” hustled from start to finish of every game during his three years of playi ing and it need 1 not be said that he was a great tackier. , great blocker and smart leader.

The fact that he again ir tade i the mythical All-Texas Conferen ice team attests this. Aus tin will have to search long and hard befc re they will find another who can diagi nose plays and then stop them as he did. Ending a brilliant career at the wing position. Burr was dynamite to the opponents in every game. His ability to get down under punts, block, tackle and catch passes marked him as an out' standing wingman. Opposing ball carriers had to take the ball deep in their own territory on the kickoff due to John’s long kickoffs. This left-hander was the boy whom the enemy scouts went home and warned their coaches to look out for. “Turtle was an ideally talented man for the right half, being the most skillful passer on the team, a fine blocker, and hard running back. AUSTIN LINEMEN STOP McMURRY BACK IN “DUST BOWL” GAME JOHN WINFREY End “Red” was a scrapper from start to finish, and when the game was toughest he was “at his best. His vicious blocking and tackling made him a menace to the other side, and he loved to mix it better than anyone else. He has played his last game for Austin College and a diligent search will have to be made to fill his place. SMITH CAUDLE Guard W. J. MURDAUGH JOHN O. STEPHENS Guard Guard This big guard, formerly of Greenville High, was rugged and aggressive. Opponents found it hard to move him out of position. “Pajo worked and trained hard all of the time and his fighting spirit was noticeable when the battle was the toughest, and it will be greatly missed next year. Playing consistent ball at the time, “Stevie” was dependable no matter what the opposition might be. He played championship ball in every game and ball carriers found it hard to make yardage through his position. He has completed his eligibility and had worn the Crimson and Gold for the last time. May he have as big a success in life as he has had on the gridiron. Although faced with a hard assignment, especially for a man just entering the coaching profession, A1 came through in great style. After playing one year of freshman football and two years of varsity this former Kangaroo star player became just as good, if not a better Kangaroo coach. He knows football and how to teach it, and also the respect and cooperation he gets from the team is something to be envied. Assistant Coach St. John has bright prospect for a successful coaching career and his will, determination and ability will take him far in life. J. H. WEBB Tackle GARVICE STEEN Halfback AL ST. JOHN Assistant Coach “Joe College” was as gentle as a lamb on the campus but a demon on the football field. Very little yardage was made through his position and his tackling chilled ball carriers in their tracks. Because of his ability, spirit and friendliness, he was elected line captain for the 1937 season. Power to you, John Henry for an undefeated season. “Hip” who was probably the most versatile ath- lete on the team had another fine season the past year. Playing at right half, he was able to bring into use all of his versatility. He blocked with precision, passed with skill and toted the oval as it should be toted.

KANGAROOS MARCHING TO THEIR FIRST SCORE IN THANKSGIVING CLASSIC VESTUS POTEET Tackle JOHN LEWIS Quarterback Winning his second letter, “Roughy played good ball all year. Opposing quarterbacks always thought twice be' fore calling a play in his direction. His services next fall will be of great help to the Kangaroos. “Mutt was a dependable quarterback who played con� ' sictent football all year. He was best on defensive play, but also deserves much credit for his fine blocking. “Commodore,” the brilliant little field general, com- manded the teem with smoothness that would have been an asset to any team. Perry was a good defensive man and a fine blocker. Cy was a fleet-footed left half with a fine spirit. His blocking, punting and ball carrying were surpassed only by his passing. Cy chunked the oval with the utmost accuracy. FRANKLIN PERRY Quarterback C. Y. BARTLEY and CARL BARRETT Halfbacks CHARLIE GOFF End D. A. McCALL LENWOOD ORICK End “Kid Barrett exhibited a fine spirit all season and showed promising talent. Barrett, being only a freshman, showed all the promise of becoming a starring Kangaroo in future years. Lettering in his freshman year, “Links” has achiecked what few men are good enough to do. He can do all that a good end should do and has prospects for three very successful years ahead of “Shorty” has proved himself to be the best end prospect to enroll in Austin College in several years. His pass catching and defensive work were excep- tionally outstanding. He has three more years of competition and if he plays up to par will be the outstanding wingman in the conference. Although out part of the season because of a knee injury, “Pete got in lots of time before the season was over. Opponents had a hard time circling his end, and with a little luck with his injuries he will have a great year next year. Rags played consistent ball in all the games. Even though many times he was injured his fight and determination kept him going. He has one more year of eligibility and will be of much service to the team. “La Vegas had the stiffest of competition, yet broke into the lineup enough to show his worth. A man of fine spirit and dependability. MURRY BYRD FULTON WARE Guard H. L.

Of the nine lettermen on this year’s team, only one will be lost for next season, John Winfrey, senior from Sulphur Springs and a veteran of three years, who graduates this year.

Pruitt ousted John Smith, a team- mate, one up in nineteen holes. Another Kangaroo golfer, Howard Coch- ran, lost to Foy Fanning of McMurry, 5 and 3. The team was ably coached by Prof. L. E. Petty. He tutored the Kangaroo golfers to three victories over Southeastern Teachers of Durant, split matches with Texas Wesleyan of Fort Worth and led them to a dou- ble victory over the Paris Junior College foursome. The four veteran Kangaroo clubbers will return for another chance at the Texas Confer- ence team trophy. TENNIS TEAM Gladney Boyd, Harold Hester, Capt. J. T. Krattiger, Ed Sholl, Vernie Bowe. (George Irvine, No 2 player, was camera shy.) The Kangaroo tennis team won several matches this spring before entering the Texas Conference tennis play here during the month of May. The doubles team composed of Capt. J. T. Krattiger and George Irvine reached the finals of the doubles play in the conference play here. In the first round, the Kangaroos drew a bye and in the semifinals outclassed Proctor and Daniel, 6-5, 9-7, in the most closely contested match the meet produced. In the finals, the Austin netters were beaten in three sets by Kendall Jones and Murray Marshall of Abilene Christian College. In singles play, George Irvine lost to Tommy Beene of McMurry. 6-2, 6-1 and then Krattiger whipped Everheart of Trinity, 9-7, 6-4. The Kangaroo captain was lost from the singles play when he was drubbed by Daniel of Southwestern, 6-4, 9-7. Standing—Murry Byrd , D. A. McCall, Overton Jay, Abner Ragsdale.

Working: out only a few weeks, the Kangaroo track team made a repu- table showing; for the amount of time they had spent in prepration. Leslie Walden, junior, won fourth in the 100 yard high hurdles and 220 yard low hurdles. D. A. McCall, freshman, tied for second play in the high jump. The Austin mile relay team finished fourth. The Kangaroos were fourth in the conference meet, scoring a total of points.

COLLEGE EDUCATION A college education is four years of training in the great American art of filling three jacks to a pair of nines, and costs the old man more money than a string of race horses and five mar- riageable daughters. It is a complete study of hops—both kinds. Like Gaul, it is made up of three parts, gall, foot- ball and highball. Each stude, as soon as he matricu- lates, is pumped full of a peculiar form of imbecility known as College Spirit which consists primarily of opening his mouth as wide as that of a California climate-booster in Florida, and holding the high C of a steam calliope with a busted boiler from the opening of the football season in his freshman year until he totters through the Pearly Gates. During four years the young Col- legiate is supposed to store beneath his adored thatch every recorded deed and thought of man from Adam to Henry Ford, most of which is ab- sorbed on the night before examina- tions, and the remaining time is spent in a rapt study of three yards of pink silk wrapped about one hundred and three pounds of what ought to be in it. Then comes graduation with all its soaring ambitions, followed by a fifteen-a-week job at the hands of some obliging relative and disillusionment complete and final. Sic transit rah-rah! —H. M.
