LIBRARY BIRMING SOUTHER COLLEGE LI BR OF lA ' MINGHAM- COLLF. E UTHERN Little Charlie Barnstone, the pride of Jenkins County, who is headed for a collegiate career, determined to write his name on the rolls of fame. Come with him; go to ' Southern with Charlie THROUGH THE PAGES DP • • E V Published by the students of Birmingbam-SDutbern College CopyrightEii 1939 — Charles W. Barnes. Editor — William D. WhetstonG, Business Manager U E Q]Q Charlie Comes tu ' Southern 3L BURSAR ' S office puts the finishing and official okay on freshman Charlie Barnstone by presenting him with a neat, itemized account of how much his edu- cation for the next four and a half months is going to cost. Charlie is a little bewildered by the important-looking, sophisticated persons who lurk behind the little brass bars and who look like the animals that were in the circus that came through Oskwedunk three years ago. They just don ' t pace up and down quite so much, Charlie thinks. But now for the bill .... Library fee — $5.00. Gosh! I just want to use some of the books, Charlie exclaims, I don ' t want to buy ' em. Poor Charlie! He ain ' t seen nothin ' yet. Wait until he starts letting some of those books get overdue. Anyway, bet it ain ' t such a good liberry. Bet there ain ' t a Sears Roebuck c atalogue in the whole durn shebang! .... Down the list . . . Laboratory fee. Now, what ' s that? Oh, yeah. I remembers, Charlie says, laboratory. That ' s a place where y ' wash yore hands. Shucks, they even charge yuh for that around here! X U R.S A R, BUlR_ 101112 w D d i c a The 1939 La Revue To the pappies, the poppas, the dads, the old mans, and, pos- sibly, the fathers, that untiring, unflinching, and generous group who have little to do in life except sit around and wait for the first or the fifteenth to roll around, this, the La Revue for the year 1939, is dedicated. To all the pappies we would extend congratulations for having survived another year with a kid in col- lege, for if it is true that a young man or young woman is changed by his or her years in college, it is equally true that a parent changes during those same years. Not only does he change his hard cash for a little white receipt rubber-stamped by the bursar ' s office, but he changes his opinion, his attitude, with regard to his kid. Our little Charlie has his pappy, Ebenezer Barnstone, but just Pappy to our Charlie. Pappy has spent many many days staring out at the horizon, wondering what his Charlie has been doing off at college. We hope that the days on the ' Southern campus haven ' t changed Charlie too much. Anyway, if they have, we ' re pretty sure there ' ll always be a Pappy who can jerk him down a notch or two. c. IHARLIE has been orientated and now knows that there is a school constitution, that there is an honor system, that he is on the road to becoming a cukured Christian gentle- man, and that the weight of the world will fall upon his broad, sun- tanned shoulders as soon as he graduates. But that is a long way off. Charlie wants to make the Barnstones proud of him, so he buys the nec- essary books and looks through them — but there is a disturbing element on the campus. Charlie is becoming aware of the fact that there are girls galore as ' Southern. And what girls! They look so sporty and pretty that poor Charlie can ' t keep his mind on anything — except them. He watches them as they cross the campus; he watches them while he is in his classrooms; he watches them. At the bookstore Charlie learns the technique of sitting around, waiting for mail, eating ice-cream sand- wiches, and rushing into the cafeteria for meals. The campus attracts Charlie. It ' s lovely, but wasted. There an ' t even a ten foot hunk of it planted in corn! ZIL Board of Trustees Officers O. V. Calhoun - President Ed. L. Norton _ Vice-President Edgar M.

Stockham, LL.D Birmingham President Raymond R. Paty In nine months Dr. Raymond Ross Paty has won the loyalty and support which only a veteran college president usually has from the stu- dent body and faculty. If, twenty years ago, a man had been chosen to be trained to take over the presi- dency of our school in 193 8, he could hardly have secured better training than Dr. Paty has had. Every position and activity of his life in the field of education has con- tributed to better qualify him to be head of a liberal arts college. Dr. Paty received his undergraduate training at the University of Tennessee and Emory University and has done graduate work at Columbia University and the University of Chicago. He held the position of Dean of Men at Emory University from 1933 until 1937, when he resigned that position to accept the p lace of Director of Fellowships for the Julius Rosenwald Foundation which position he held until we were so fortunate as to have him accept the presidency of our college. In our first La Rcviic since Dr. Paty ' s arrival we want to express our deep appreciation to all those who were instrumental in bringing so fine a man here to be our president, and we want to reaffirm the loyalty he won from us in his first vear here. President ' s Home Uke First Family of The Campus Dr. Paty brought with him to our campus an ideal famiily. His lovely wife is already a charming lead- er in Birmingham. There are three young daughters, Martha Ann, Mary and Jane to whom we look for additional honors for our academic and social record. Dean Wyatt W. Hale Dean Hale ' s achievements are listed in Who ' s Who in America , America ' s Young Men, and Leaders in Education . He ' s an O D K, a Phi Beta Kappa, a Kappa Phi Kappa, a — but since the entire Greek alphabet is involved, why go into the matter any farther? His strongest characteristics are absolute loyalty and dependability. But there is one shady spot on the Dean ' s record: In the summer of 1921, he actually studied at Hovk ard College. This bit of work is, however, well hidden in an avalanche of fellowships, scholarships and resulting degrees. 1923 — B. S. de- gree from Birmingham-Southern; ' 24- ' 25 — graduate work, Johns Hopkins; 1926 — M.A. degree from Birmingham-Southern; 1927 — graduate work at Columbia University; 1950 — graduate work at the University of Minnesota . . . and his Ed. D. is from Stanford University. We are wondering if Dr. Hale did not have for his slogan See America while being educated . Dean Hale knows, from his own experience, the strug- gles of men who arc workinj their way through school. He has been cashier, bookkeeper and salesman, fie has done secretarial and clerical work and is always eager to assist undergraduate students in finding part-time employ- ment. M. Paul Phillips Library Y=-H?V Dean Eoline W. Moore Possessing a variety of interests, Dean Moore remains quiet, demure and dainty. Her picture is constant- ly in the papers as leader of Camp Winnataska, a bigwig in the Ameri- can Association of University women, an outstanding Educator. Students who study education under Mrs. Moore, or who chat with her over a cup of Sunday tea, have no idea how much she really knows about the campus. She never prates about my girls in the approved fashion of deans, and never snatches an uncongenial group together with demands that they enjoy each other on a picnic which simply reeks with Planned Recrea- tion. Her way is better. She quietly tells someone about someone else, or quietly introduces a girl to a club, or quietly sees that this girl gets help on her studies or that one gets to join Belles Lettres or Alpha Gamma, and there you are. Dean Moore is listed in Who ' s Who in American I ' ducation , has an A.J5. and A.M. from Birmingham- Southern and a Ph.D. from Peabody. She is a member of Mortar Board, Kappa Delta I psilon and Delta Kappa Gamma. Stoclihtim Woman ' s Buildiiirj Bursar N. M. Yeilding Mr. Yeilding is the kind of person who thoroughly enjoys life. Being completely sincere, he throws him- self into every enterprise to the ex- tent of converting any responsibili- ties it might offer into pleasant tasks. One of his friends recently remarked that everything Red Yeilding touched turned to money. It is unfortunate that this ability can not be applied to students who are in arrears , a classification which includes all of us at one time or another. Although Mr. Yeilding has a difficult position, he remains a kindly and comparatively painless extractor of fees. A good executive, an excellent business man, a cordial personality . . . Mr. Yeilding is all of these and more. He is interested in individuals and is a shrewd observer of human nature. Although he expresses his opinion cautiously, once expressed, it is well based; his words are consistently dependable.

JlX ' ' Student Senate Student Guided by Pope Meagher as President of the Student Body and Lilhan Keener as President of the Co-Ed Council, the students enjoyed their most ac- tive leadership in several years. The Student Senate provided the biggest sen- sation of the year when they sponsored a student dance in order to raise funds for the student center. Their cooperation made this center possible. Other mem- bers of the Student Senate included Fred Spence, vice-president, Earl Sanders, secretary, and Ward Proctor, treasurer, and Thomas Dill, Billy Doggett, John Howard, Eddie Kain, J. D. Kaylor, Richard Morland. James Cooper was elected after mid-semester to fill a vacancy created when Eddie Kain left school. This group also made surveys of other student governments, the cam- pus honor system, and, to its particular credit, instituted a series of student fo- rums, where students were able to express their opinions freely. The Election Board, the arm of the student government, which last year created a furore on the campus, continued its aggressive policy. This year, led by Pope Meagher as president, Fred Blanton, ODK, vice-president, Margaret Anne Wilmore, Mortar Board, secretary, and Dr. Raymond R. Paty, Dean Wyatt W. Hale, and Dr. Walter B. Posey, and Lillian Keener, the group called nearly every petitioner before it and ascertained their qualifications. Only by this method, the group felt, could high quality leadership be maintained. L Co-Ed Council Governmeiit Lillion Keener was assisted in her work on the Co-Ed Council bv Bettv Hasty, vice-president, Mary Margaret Price, secretary, and Margaret Hubbard, treasurer. Other members included Anna Louise Beatty, Ann Hale, Josephine Harris, Elizabeth Patton, Betsy Royce, and Virginia Van der Veer. This or- ganization, as in the past, showed its willingness for cooperation in any student enterprise, and, knowing the effort that was expended to make the May Dav Celebration a success, they deserve the utmost credit for being a hard-working group. It was definitely a year of adjustment in student affairs and student gov- ernment. The new Committee on Student Life, composed of several facultv members and two student members, found opposition from some quarters, but managed to make itself one of the foremost organizations concerned with stu- dent affairs and student organizations. Delving into fraternities and sorori- ties, the general campus setup of honorary organizations and other societies, and particularly with the extra-curricular activity credit, the Committee had as its goal more active student participation in the various organizations. By its recommendations extra-curricular credit will be eliminated and the number of hours necessary for graduation reduced. Organizations showed a renewed vit.il- ity, and a Student Night in the student center proved a tremendous success. L a R Charles Barnes, Editor Lillian Keener, Associate Editor The editors of your 1939 La Rciiic, having traditionally made the Gold and Black office their headquarters and thereby having gained the spirit of the press, have tried to make this edition of your yearbook a true student publication. Even though they realize that all La Revues are handed down heavily to posterity, the editors have inserted a light note as their theme this year. From page to page they show you how they ' d take a freshman through Birmingham- Southern. And don ' t scorn this young man if he ' s just a bit on the green side. Once you were probably as he is now.

Bill Whetstone Business Mainigcr Assistant Editors Gordon Atkeison E. L. Holland Virginia Blair Beginning by having the annual printed by a Birming- ham company, La Reiiie has stayed at home this year and claims to show more work contributed by the students than in any previous issue. For the first time in annual history all photographic work, except class pictures, was done by student camera experts. This independence from commercial photographers was extended to the art depart- ment; what appears to be professional artistry in this book is not that all, but is the work of some of our very gifted campus artists. Even the writing classes were recognized in Lci Rcnie ' s student labor draft, and a favored few from these classes have thought long and hard to collect enough words to make up this book. The 1939 La Rciiw announces for this vear the largest circulation in ten years.  ;Rrsss..-i Jit- ' V - a ' ® ™ 3 lh.H.

Business Manager Murray McCluskey d a B 1 a c k It has been the privilege of The Gold and Black in 1938-1939 to record the hap- penings on the campus of Birmingham-Southern in a pivotal year in the history of the college. It has been a period which has seen a new leader take over the helm of the school, and, through the columns of its newspaper, students and friends of the college have been looking over his shoulder into the long future and asking in their hearts what that future holds for their alma mater. It has been a good year to ask such things. The answer to these questions has been the consuming interest of those who have had charge of The Gold and Black this year. They have spent their time on the paper not alone in telling what students here are do- ing. T jc Gold and Black was also at considerable pains to find out what students here are thinking these days. The paper conducted several polls probing into the collegiate mind to see what — if anything — that perennial phenomenon on the Birmingham- Southern campus was deciding about the world ' s too numerous ills. When the answers, as they often did, pointed to youthful confusion or equally characteristic youthful in- difference the paper was disposed to think that significant too. For optimistic college journalists it was a good year in another way. T jc Gold and Black had the happy task of covering the work of a new President as he dug in and found himself at a strange desk among new faces. And from the first he was good copy. A bit unpredictable, perhaps, but what of that? There was always something doing. i __--- Paint Dr. Evans ' unfailing sense of good hu- mor stands him in good stead when the going gets murky or when someone tries to play horse with him. It is a rare treat to see this chubby gentleman hurrying across the campus with his coat-tail strung out behind him like a kite in a stiff breeze. To date no one has seen him walking as if he had plenty of time.

Munger Hall took on all the color and en- chantment of a big-time court room when The Night of January 16 was presented. They got away from the usual pattern of dramatic effort, and ran people up and down the aisles. Red Holland and Shelby Walthall, attorneys - at - random, had the poor witnesses in the proverbial dither with their raving and machine-gunning of ques- tions about what happened on the night of January 16. Alva Wade ' s Swedish accent was so realistically done that she went around for a month talking that way. A novel effect was gained by picking a jury, which was not fixed, out of the audience. At the end of the play, the jury retired, and brought in a verdict. Not until then did anyone, not even the cast, know how the show would end. Which meant learn- ing two endings. Great fun. Dr. Evans directed, with the assistance of Atkeison, who also did a part.

Its young men dreamed their dreams, and the long trip brought back its full quota of road signs and de- tour markers. This year Tau Kappa Alpha returned to the straight and nar- row and admitted no women to its ranks. President Murray McCluskey Vice-President Tom Edwards Secretary-Treasurer Dr. M. F.

In class, the pride of the Barnstones sits quietly, not stirring — much, except when the seats get too hard and his stummick starts growling close to lunch- tmie. Charlie learns the technique of nodding at the right times, of looking as if he knows the answers when he doesn ' t, of laughing at cer- tain professors ' jokes, of passing notes skillfully, and which profs want you to take notes and which don ' t. Charlie gets into the feeling of the real college student when he grows accustomed to the pell-mell rush for the eight-thirty class: get up, shower, dress, breakfast at the cafeteria, dash across the campus to the classroom where — blessed haven — he can resume his slumbers undisturbed on the back row. Laboratories interest Charlie slightly. He can do something. But even that becomes difficult when he has to make a drawing a certain way and no other, when lab instructors scowl, squint, and say Nope and send him back to try again.

Wynn Perm an L. Young Ly ' nda Young J- L lOVE came into our Charlie ' s life at ' Southern. It was quick, sudden almost to the point that it happened before Charlie was aware of it. And our noble young man, staunch, brave upholder of the rights of Jenkins County, was soon groveling in i j the dirt, throwing himself at the feet of a cute little girl whose soft brown curls forced him to think up ways of attracting her attention. Charlie was that way. The boys in the dorm started kidding him. The girls in his classes giggled at hmi — poor Charlie, he tried to hide his emotion but it was impossible. He was the rawest form of Cassanova. But it all came out all right when she asked him to go an a hay ride with her, a function given by her sorority. And Charlie — good ole Jenkins County — was at home in the hay! He was on home ground. He knew his way about. So — need more be said? All fixed up with a femme with whom he could loll about on the campus green and pick daisy petals, Charlie was at last a real college man! CO c LU 4 gLAIR - -r: !

His shoulders looked like half the span of the Washington bridge and his tall rangy- body spelled good beef to the coaches. So our gentle little friend was torn away from daisy picking in the afternoons with his love and set to chasing footballs all afternoon. They gave him more harness and equip- ment than both Nell and Mable, the two mules back home, could scrape up together. But Charlie felt justified when he got it all on. He looked like some of the pitchers he ' d seen in the Jenkins Comity Weekly Iff Record. He wasn ' t so much at kicking the football — couldn ' t never seem to hit it just right with his foot. It always went crooked, and one time he picked it over his own head, backwards. But he was a good blocker, leastways, that ' s what the coach said he was. So they put him in the backfield and let him lead the way whenever they wanted some- body to tote the ball. Then came the big game and Charlie intercepted a pass and went across the goal line with five men hanging on him. He was a hero.

One which will probably revolutionize the whole social scheme on the Hilltop, as well as cause a few minor changes in your carefully planned layout for the annual. THERE IS NO B CLUB. However, just to fill the space requirements I will list below the men making letters in the various sports. Forty-one young men are promenading about the campus this spring sporting theoretical letters, their reward for athletic achievement. The mythical monograms, which in past have been large golden B s, were awarded to the athletes in three fields of sport. J. T. Aldridge, Lewis Holliday, Del Guthrie, Tom Cabellus, Clay Sheffield, Roy Lasater, Molly Swindle, Charlie Ware, Rutherford Key, Bob Strain, Walter Wolf, Harold Jackson, Howell Mclnnish, Leo Hicks, Gus Noojin, Dick McMichael, Ward Proctor, Herbert Huie, Charlie Vines, Joe Petrite, and Fred Spence were men who qualified for football awards. Eldridge Mote, Herbert Peterson, Bill Cleage, Dickie Morland, Cecil Williams, Joe Petrite, George Wright and playing manager Pat Hutto, were named for basketball letters. McDonald Turner, Al Morton, Fred Vance, Ed Neill, Wilfred Sands, Charlie Vines, Jimmy Gandy, Kit Ware, Eldridge Mote, Hugh Corbin, Dick McMichael, and Cecil Williams were elected for baseball letters. ' MILES DENHAM, Sports Editor. [; 111 ' Coach J e 11 k .s G i 1 1 p, m |— I ANDICAPPED last fall by a small squad, injuries and miscellaneous ill luck, Birmingham-Southern ' s Panthers emerged from the 193 8 football campaign a bit frayed around the edges and slightly on the losing side of the ledger book. A fact, gen- erally overlooked by followers of the Hilltop team, however, was the record the Cats com- piled within the Dixie Conference. Against teams of their own class, the Panthers won four games and lost but three. Southern opened its season with a great defensive showing against a powerful Au- burn team, holding the Plainsmen scoreless through three quarters of the battle only to yield two tallies in the final period to give Font their superior foemen a hard earned 14-0 victory. The moral victory was a costly one, however, for lanky Jimmy Cooper, sopho- more end and the best pass snagger on the squad, suffered a fractured arm which put him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season. This bad break was the first of a steady succession of misfortunes which dogged the Panthers ' heels all season. Wal- ter Wolf went out of the lineup for a time with a broken hand; Andrew Luster sus- tained a fractured arm; Ben Royal went to the sidelines with an infected leg; Joe Pe- trite was forced out of activity temporarily with pulled muscles in leg and side. In short, Lady Luck, who had smiled so beam- ingly upon the Hilltop squad in 1937 when A,s.sistant Cnaches Wnndy Bratcher and Lex Fullbright -- -JI: ball It came through, almost miraculously, to a 21-20 victory over Howard and a Dixie Conference championship, completely de- serted the Panthers. Of the campaign, suffice it to say that the Panthers lost the opening game to Au- burn, were defeated by Loyola, 19-0; were trampled by Southwestern, 44-0; and hu- miliated by Murray State, 40-14 ... on the other hand, that they won from Mill- saps, 20-0; Mercer, 7-0; Chattanooga, 12-6; and Spring Hill, 7-0. The Panthers were all even in the stand- ings, four won and four lost, when the Sat- urday before Thanksgiving, the day of the annual Battle of the Marne arrived.

D Q t b a 1 1 Southern had its chance to make or break the season. The strain of a rigorous cam- paign proved too much and the Hilltoppers cracked, bowing to Howard, 2 5-0. No amount of looking back can change List season. It ' s in the books. But this year things are going to be different. One of the big troubles last season was the lack of material. During the major portion of the season the squad nu mbered less than 20 men. As a consequence Head Coach Jenks Gillem was afraid to scrimmage his men for fear of further casualties on his already de- pleted team. And the Panthers deserve credit, rather than condemnation for win- ning the games which the) ' did win, with- out this very necessary phase of training. Next Autumn, with a larger squad, suf- SouTHERN Fails to Gain Through Center ] - McMicHAEL Gains Around End ficient experience, enough speed and an abundance of weight, Southern should again be a dangerous contender in the Dixie Con- ference race. Two of the finest players on the squad, Dick McMichael, All-Conference halfback, and Rutherford Key, stellar guard, were chosen by their mates to lead the team as co-captains in the 1939 season. Other experienced players who return for duty next Fall will be Joe Petrite, Gus Noo- jin, Ward Proctor and Peck Sands, backs; Dell Guthrie, Lewis HoUiday and J. T. Al- dridge, ends; Roy Lasater, Charlie Ware, Clay Sheffield and MalloySwindle, tackles; Bob Strain, Walter Wolf, Ben Royal and Fred Jackson, guards, and Flowell Slivers Mclnnish and Leo Flicks, centers. Add to these dependables a promising group of sophomores who will be in the bat- tle for starting berths next Fall and you get a fair idea of the kind of team that will bear the Gold and Black banner into action in 1939.

Rangy Jimmy Cooper, who had been forced to the sidelines during the football season with a fractured arm, was back in shape and ready to do his bit toward replacing Center Kenneth Tip Morland, main cog in the title-winning team. Sam Pruett, who won a regular berth on the team the year before as a sophomore, was counted upon to be back, better than ever. They were to furnish the height. Cooper towering some 6 feet 4 inches, and Pruett standing six feet two in his stocking feet, and were to team with the brilliant Eldridge Mote, Herbert Peterson and George Wright, all veterans. Before the campaign was past the opening game, however, the rosy picture was blasted utterly and completely, never to be patched. During the Christmas holidays, Pruett was stricken with pneumonia and was declared by physicians to be definitely out as far as any basketball activity was concerned. Leaving Pruett behind, the team set out on that first ill-fated road trip to open the sea- son with Millsaps. They lost the game, but that was the least of the direful consequences of that struggle with the Majors, for Cooper fell under the basket and suffered a refracture of his healing arm. Despite noble relief work by Joe Petrite, Cecil Williams, who became one of the Panthers ' leading basket-makers, and Dickie Morland, the Panther cagers never recovered from their early setbacks.  Ai. ball at Souther n Altli,.u, h tlu-y won g.mics from University of Chattanooga and S jutiicrn College of Lake- r n- ' ■ ' ' ' , ° ° ' ' ' ' ' ° P ' - y ' ' ' bnlliant basketball, the Panthers were never consistent. In the Big I-,ye they spht two games with the Boys ' Club Comets, dropped two to the Sixth Avenue I reds, and then surprised local fans and supporters with a victory over the YMHA Blue jackets second ranked team in the circuit, to split the series with Walton I.anev ' s team. 1 hey didn t have a show against the Howard Bu:idogs, who were undefeated in league p ay, however, and went down in the annual series in three straight games. A feature of the Howard series was the work of Playing Manager Pat Hutto. who dribbled through the entire Howard team and whipped one through the netting for his first points of the season Yeoman service was turned in by players Bill Cleage, Tom Cabellus and Ben Roval who v-erc frequently subbed in the Panther lineup to give the regulars a breathing spell. ' Al. that can be said is, Better luck ne.xt time, Coach Ben! B a s e ball With the termination of baseball season, the Panthers dropped their third athletic title of the year to the Howard College Bulldogs. With the exception of the hurling staff, the Hilltop team returned intact from the 193 8 club which won the city collegiate title from Howard in three straight games. But that hurling staff was to prove the difference in the two teams, for without the fire- ball tossing of Woodrow Bratcher, who is now playing professional baseball, and John Pittman, the series result was exactly the reverse. The Panthers dropped the first game, 5-4, m 11 m- nings, when Howard ' s long-knocking outfielder, Clyde White, lifted one of MacDonald Turn- er ' s pitches over the fence for the winning run. The Panthers played host to the Bulldogs at McLendon Park for the second game and again lost to Howard in extra innings by the score of 7-5. Morton started as pitcher but was re- lieved later in the game by Turner. In the final game, the Panthers held a three run lead going into the ninth inning when Welch hammered out a home run with the bases loaded to tie the score at 9-9. In the first of the tenth the Panthers put across one run to step into the lead once more, but Howard came through with two runs in their half of the inning to win the game, 11-10, and take the series, 3-0. The Panther outfield was the strongest unit on the team, with blond Hugh Corbin, vet- eran of three years standing; fleet Dick McMichael, and Lefty Ed Ncill, all turning in good performances. In the infield, Charlie Vines held down first base with Jimmy (the Red) Gandy on second; Kit Ware on short, and Eldridge Mote at third. Behind the bat was one of the best players on the squad, Wilfred ' Teck Sands, a capable backstop and a powerful hitter. Hurlers who turned in good performances during the season were MacDonald Turner, Al Morton, and Cecil Williams. Turner and Morton divided dutv in the Howard series. n n 1 s With a number of new and talented players entering school and with a solid nucleus of veteran material en hand this Spring, Birmingham-Southern turned out one cf its strongest tennis teams. Eugene McCain, former state high school champion from W ' oodlawn, won the No. 1 berth m the elimination tournament with a straight-sets victory over Brooks Shirley, defend- mg champ, 6-1, 6-2, 6-1. Another former All-Stater, Fred Brown, was also enlisted this spring and made another valuable addition to the club. Such dependable players as Shirley, Frank Osment, Herbert Downs, Robert Johnson and Horace Stevenson, all of whom played on last season ' s team, were also back for duty Red- haired Johnson, a Ramsay High School product, who was undefeated last season on ' the Pan- them team, won two matches this season before losing to spoil his perfect record. The Hilltop netmen opened their season with a victory over Mississippi State ' s team four matches to three, and showed real championship form in trimming the Southeastern Conference aggregation. They ran into some of the country ' s best collegiate court talent in their next three matches however, and were beaten. They deserve no condemnation for this, however in view of the fact that they were up against such top notch players as Joe Davis, rated Xo 1 in the South last year, on the Vanderbilt team; Lou Faquin. Spring Hill ' s Xo. 1 man from Memphis, who is considered one of the South ' s best and who holds victories over such players as Arthur Hendrix and Wayne Sabin; and the Wayne University team which had one of the best records in the country last year, winning 21 out of 22 collegiate matches.

They regained winning stride against Millsaps. however pin- nmg a 7-0 defeat on the Majors, and then won from Marion Institute. 7-0. and Southwest- ern, 4-3.

Charlie took his new tuxedo out of the cleaner ' s bag and brushed it off, just in case they ' d missed some dirt. Then he put it on, rubbed a little slickum on his unruly hair and started out with one of the other boys in the dorm. Charlie was awed inside the ballroom. Gosh! The colored lights, and more gals in long slinky dresses, and everybody talking and laughing . . . Say! This was all r ight. ' Bout good as one of ole Chigger Murphy ' s barn dances. Then the music started and Charlie ' s troubles began. His feet were housed in a new pair of shiny black shoes; his stiff shirt scratched his chest. Charlie sweated. Then, suddenly, his feet loosened up and he began throwing them out erratically. Alas! Our Charlie was a natural Jitterbug!

At mid-term a new set of rushing rules was adopted for trial. The fra- ternities submitted to the Dean ' s office a list of students who were extended bids. Hot-boxin? was thereby eliminated because the new men were allowed to state their preferences in order.

They were in first place among the fraternities on the hill at mid- year and also at the middle of the Spring semester. The Scholarship Cup has worn a nice little ring on the top of the House piano, and it fits perfectly there. As for personal scholarship standings, X orthy Master Billy Barks- dale set a record or something. In fact, he did so well that he was awarded a scholarship to the University of Virginia, and also a position as Assistant Big Shot of Something at Duke. Barksdale, come to think of It, IS a fraternity accomplishment in himself. He was president of the Interf raternity Council, member of Omicron Delta Kappa, president of the late-lamented honorary economics society, and a member of the Toreadors, new economic society. He even played a trumpet in the last row of the Football Band. In sports, Beta Beta of Alpha Tau Omega boasts Fred Spence, var- sity hot, and Donald (Pig) Brabston, almost a baseball player. Captain J. Sidney Pittman led the A T O ' s to the semi-finals in interfrat football last Fall, while LeGrande Passmore led the Beta Beta Fighting Five to the finals in basketball. Barksdale is at the head of the baseball squad this Spring. Eddie Kane, who went to Auburn in January, was a Student Sena- tor, and Mitchell was the guy who was all over the campus with the camera this Spring taking pictures for U Revue.

With men in the Y, Glee Clubs and nearly all of the honor- aries the chapter made its influence felt in nearly all campus circles Jack McGill IS the new president of the Y. Scholastically, the chapter has some improvement by climbing up one place, to second. Bob Luckie continued to do his good work by providing the college with plenty of publicity.

They have raised their scholastic average from .8 to 1.2, thereby coming up from seventh place to fifth in the Book and Bone League. By 1949, you won ' t know the old bunch! Politically, they boast the President of the Senior Class. Robin Huck- step, and the loudest voice in the Student Senate, Tom Dill. Huckstep is also president of International Relations. Bruce Johnson, president-elect of the Student Body, vice-president of O D K, and manager of the school band, is another Theta Kaop politician. Joe Kirby is president of Skull and Bones. Martin Knowlton and Tim Moriarty share the honors as as- sistant business managers of the Gol.l and Black (Knowlton does all the work). Moriarty is Business Manager-elect of the rag. Theta Kappa Nu has two men in O D K and they also managed to place two men in the Interfraternity Council. In athletics, they ' ve got the captain of the football team — Charlie Vmes, and Louis Holliday, mainstay of the line. They placed second in interfraternity football, and repulsed three Howard raids on the campus just before the Howard-Southern game. Knowlton and Moriarty are in the school ' s Museum of Natural His- tory. They are president and vice-president respectively. They are the ones on the outside of the cages, not within. Wilfred Reynolds kept the editorial and feature columns of school paper busy. They ' re a musical bunch.

Usually the president and the rush captain of the sorority are the lucky (?) ones. The membership of the president is easy to understand. But why the rush-captain? Simply because the main function of the organization is to make foolish rush rules that nobody, including the members themselves, under- stands. In fact, the only time a Pan-Hellenic meeting can boast a full house is when one of the sororities is being brought up for dirty rushing. Then the interest is keen indeed. Officers of Pan Hellenic are determined by rotation — secretary becomes vice-president, vice-president becomes president, and so forth. Under this sys- tem each sorority holds the presidency every seven years. All of which should eliminate a lot of unnecessary wrangling and politicking.

The reason for this special notice: New Amazon initiates wear black cotton stockings, and huge white bows in their hair. For a whole day the campus has the pleasure of looking on while old Amazons make the new members go through a full- fledged ceremony of goating — singing songs on the library steps, begging for pennies in the Bookstore, and other such antics. The Amazons ' dance is distinctive in that it is the regular girl-break dance of the year. Here the long-suffering femmes get a chance to pay back their men friends, and to give them a dose of the well-known medicme. And mav- be you think they don ' t take advantage of it! Amazons is made up of twenty-one members, three from each sorority. The aim of the Amazons is a worthv one — Get Your Man.

OPi is holding its own on the campus among stiff compctitiijn. The) ' pledged some of the most outstanding girls of the freshman class. A few more groups like that will give them top rating, say the ones in the know. They ' re doing very well in scholarship as they have a Mortar Boarder in Cookie Postelle and sister Sarah proudly displays a Phi Beta Kappa key. They are very well represented in campus organizations with mem- bers on Co-Ed Council, Y , K D E, Paint and Patches, Belles Lettres, and numerous others. AOPI does more in a quiet way than most organi- zations with a lot of fanfare. They had the presidency of three iimor- tant organizations — Co-Ed Council, Kappa Delta Epsilon, and Margaret Dominick headed Paint and Patches — an accomplishment to make anv of the sisterhoods green with envy. They have some of the prettiest and most popular girls on the campus and, aside from some unfavorr.ble pub- licity that one of the members got that would have squelched one of a less robust constitution, — are regarded quite highly on the Hilltop. They are well represented in the Beauty Section and have three May Courters — two repeaters, Cowart and Patton. Their float won the parade cup. The group seems to be the most congenial sorority on the campus, however, they had the misfortune to have their worst problem child elected to a high office in the organization. The AOPi ' s are always active in a social way. This year thev have had two tea dances and their annual formal in December besides numer- ous other parties.

This year the K D ' s very definitely squelched any such ideas and stomped on them forever — they hope. Their most welcome achievement was the rise from the depths of apparent stupidity to second place on the campus in scholarship. Then too they silenced all rumors of K D neglect of extra-curricular activities. Betsy Royce and Josephine Harris filled Co-Ed Council offices; Norma Jean Tomlinson did her share as secretary of Pan-Hellenic; Alice Jones and Josephine Harris held major offices in Paint and Patches; Mary Elizabeth Simmons wielded the gavel over Amazons; Betsy Royce worked on the Y.W. Cabinet; and Bobbie Kelly was president of Pi Delta Psi and secretary of International Relations Club. Aside from the officers in these organizations, rosters bore manv a K D name as did the staff of the paper and annual. The more scintillat- ing side of Hilltop life was as adequately handled as previously, with Betty Dunn as Miss Birmingham-Southern, Doris Pepper as leading lady of the Fall Inter-frat dance, plenty of sisters in lead-outs, beauty revues. May courts, and fraternity parade floats. And the chapter had some first-rate social functions — not to mention the big dance February 2. Despite the loss of three or four valuable members due to with- drawal from school, the K D chapter promises to flourish for many a happy year on the Hilltop. Not every sorority can boast a membership above twenty-five with the second highest scholastic average on the campus and still manage to do more than its share of the fun-having and running around.

Although the individual members have been outstanding, the soror- ity as a whole has lost its usual self-instigated aura of perfection m the eyes of the campus. In order to maintain their reputation as the fastest-marr ing so- rority on the Hilltop they had to pledge a girl already married — espe- cially since there were no signs of any members getting married any time soon. Rebecca Gray ' s honky-tonk hussie in the Paint and Patches extravaganza was more than adequate for the part. Bartlett made a very good president although she remained rather superciliously indif- ferent to affairs on the campus. Aside from a tendency to snatch one another ' s men they got along very well together. They had members on the Co-Ed Council, two representatives in the Beauty Section, and one May Court member.

With this head start it has man- aged to stay among the upper sororities ever since. They have the most outstandmg and longest line of alumnae on the campus with one as a faculty member, two faculty member ' s wives, and Mrs. Paty. The Zetas have had their place in politics this year, being repre- sented in the Co-Ed Council, Beauty Section and May Court, and hold- ing offices in organizations such as Alpha Lambda Delta, Belles Lettres, Phi Sigma Iota, Alpha Gamma, Kappa Pi, the Y, Pi Delta Psi and Amazons. The active chapter has been proud of its pledge group for the prom- ment place they have taken on the campus. The actives themselves have been sailing through this year with flymg colors under the able guidance of their president, Mary Hobson. Zeta Tau Alpha has always been noted for its good social functions with the year ' s best informal parties being a sweater party and a house- party in Florida.

Prexy Sue McNeely was the most outstanding member on the campus this year. Al- though they were left out of the sorority clique and didn ' t get posts on the Co-Ed Council as a result, they did very well in other phases of campus activ- ity. The Theta U ' s put out their greatest efforts in jobs that didn ' t get much publicity but that were vitally necessary nevertheless. They have the neatest kitchen of any sorority in Stockham (that ' s prob- ably due to Sue ' s influence) , although they ' re still wishing that whoever bor- rowed the tray that Mrs. Moore gave them would return it. Thev did all right with representatives in the Beauty Section and also took parts in Paint and Patches only effort this year. All the girls were quite docile about going to their annual dance because it was the first Spring — and therefore the first in- formal — affair. J- c IHARLIE soon learned one thing at ' Southern: the more organizations you belonged to, the more impor- tant you were. So Charlie began to sign up with everything he could. He joined the Y.M.C.A.; he jo ined the literary societies; he was rushed by and pledged a fraternity; he paid the boys in the Bookstore fifty cents for his first month ' s dues in the Bookstore Dwellers Society; the boys in the dormitory sold him a life membership card in the Third Floor Ehte Club. One of the fellows told him he could join Phi Beta Kappa if he made his application to the Dean in time, so Charlie hurried up to the Dean and told him he wanted an application blank for Phi Beta Kappa. He never could understand why the Dean asked him what the joke was. Charlie ' s fraternity told him he could make O D K if he was a leader so he politicked his way into the presidency of his pledge group. Charlie settled back and pipe-dreamed. This was easy. Durn it! He ' d make the Dean let him apply for Phi Beta Kappa! Y. W. C. A.

Bathurst Pi Delta Psi has calmly withstood the investigations of the Commit- tee on Student Life and has remained fully intact. The organization, which is strictly on the honorary side, is composed of students who are psychology addicts and have proven it scholastically. This year the programs were planned solely for the entertainment and intellectual betterment of the fraternity. An outsider would have been lost in the haze of thought-transmission, subconscious theories, and methods of applied psychology. This is as the group would have it. Pi Delta Psi ' s members and Dr. Bathurst are seeking to forward the interests of psychology, and, in so doing, to strengthen the organization. Skull and Bones This organization, composed entirely of pre-med students, serves a most useful existence. Twice each month the members meet at the Hotel Tutwiler to hear local physicians lecture on some phase of medi- cine of their own choosing. The group always lends its bit of humor to the Southern-Howard Parade with its stunt.

This year the meetings were usually preceded by dinner in the Student Activities Building, and the after-dinner speeches dealt primarily with outstanding writers and lin- guists of France, Spain, and Italy. Theta Sigma Lambda Martha Malone was president of the Hilltop ' s honorary math society this year, and she held the gavel over a series of interesting and entertain- ing meetings. The program topics ranged from an address by an invited speaker on Relativity to an eating and problem-solving party. This organization, as do some others, seems to be comprised of a comparatively small group of students who are genuinely interested in the club pro- grams but who care little about building up an impenetrable honorary landmark.

Their pet project for the year was the construction of a barbecue pit on the campus. The pit was constructed behind the dormitory and may be used by any or- ganization. Sarah Postelle, Mary Eleanor Bell and Mrs. Moore journeyed to the national convention at Springfield, 111. Mrs. Moore was elected as National Vice-President and secured the next convention for Birming- ham-Southern. To raise money the group sponsored a silver exhibit in Stockham. Belles Lettres Belles Lettres is not the sort of organization to dabble around in cam- pus politics or student enterprises. It is a club whose members have some degree of appreciation for good literature and who are seeking to develop their appreciative qualities. This year, the programs have been con- ducted solely by students and consisted mainly of reviews of various cur- rent best-sellers.

Alpha Gamma The sturdy gals of Alpha Gam had a lot of fun this year and a good many interesting programs. Very sporting fun and rather sportanic programs. Swimming, riding, tennis, and the like were subjects for their discussions, and they utilized the ability of members and of outside speakers. The pingpong tournament which they sponsored was success- ful, and suffice it to say that the Alpha Gams are the physical culturists of the Hilltop rather than the cave-women.

Under his direction the Band did much to lend color to our football games. With Mr. An- derson at its head we predict that the musical portion of the Fine Arts will continue to show improvement and enjoy increased interest within the succeeding year as it has durmg 1939. T HE first year for the A Cappella Choir has been an eventful one. The group made its first appearance at a Formal Dinner Concert. Every ticket was sold two days before the concert. This recital netted the group enough money to pay their expenses to Louisville, Ky. While en route to and from Louisville, the Choir gave concerts in Nashville and Huntsville and thereby gained for the college considerable recognition. The members are still talking about the trip and looking forward to another next year. Besides their Spring Concert, which was well at- tended and marked by excellent singing, well presented, the Choir has sung for the numerous civic and luncheon clubs which frequent our campus and to prove their local recognition they were invited to sing with the Birmingham Civic Symphony. The A Capella Choir is destined to become the outstanding vocal organization in Birmingham. p p e 1 1 Choir Raymond Floyd Anderson — Coin iuf Firsf Row Leila Wright Phyllis Elms Rosa Stuart Kathleen Draper Frances Hayes Miriam Freeman Elizabeth Powell Rebecca Gray Barbara Calloway Leslie Thorpe Frances Smith Jane Davis Second Row Julian Bishop Thomas Childs Lucie Ford Wyllene Murphree Eleanor Gray Patricia Robarts Betty Davidson Emma Dean Booker Joanne Thorpe ROSALYN ScaRBROUGH Mary NS heeler Mary Garrett Gladys Gaines Julian Guffin Third Row J.

More Alabama People sleep oil Perfection inaf- tresses and springs than on any other kind! When the editor of La Revue asked me to write something for this year ' s edition, I asked him what sort of something he wanted. In that rather vague way that editors have, he said, Oh, something from the faculty point of view. So that was my assignment. On a slip of paper I jot- ted down the words, Write something for La Revue, and put the slip on my desk with a paperweight on top of it. From time to time, in attempting to find some- thing among the accumulated debris on my desk I have come across that slip of paper. Each time Fve seen it, I ' ve paused momentarily to rack my brain for some- thing from the faculty point of view, have given up the attempt as futile, and have gone on with other tasks. This morning, I lifted up a pile of fresh- man themes and came across the slip of paper again. As I stared at it, an idea be- gan to form, slowly of course, as my ideas are wont to form. I will write, I decided, on the shortcomings of college students. After a dozen years of teaching I should be sufficiently well stocked with ideas to write on that subject. So I sat down to my typewriter and tapped out a few sen- tences. Students should take college courses more seriously. After paying good money for a three hour course in Shake- spear, a student is guilty of criminal ex- travagance if he sits in the back row and reads the college paper or works on his French lesson for the next hour instead of listening to his instructo r dilate on the sub- tleties of Flamlet ' s character. And there I stopped, for that last sentence had struck a faint chord in my memory. My mind went back to a spring day many years ago. Sitting in the relative obscurity of the back row, I made cross marks on a sheet of paper, while the instructor began to pre- sent one of the many interpretations of Hamlet ' s character. At first, in between the making of cross marks, I listened, but soon the intricacies of the game of tit tat too which my neighbor and I were playing became more absorbing than the intrica- II: cies of Hamlet. At the end of a game, a margins could make a three page paper cover six pages. I might elaborate on that, silence over the room caused me to look once more at the instructor. He had fin- ished his exposition. His eyes passed over a dozen students and came to rest on me. Mr. Ownbey, don ' t you think that is a sound theory? Very sound, I replied. Someone on the other side of the room tittered. The instructor smiled pleasantly, and proceed- ed with devastating logic to show how completely unsound the theory was. I gave up tit tat too after that. I reread the two sentences I had written. Perhaps, I thought, another approach would be better. I tapped a row of x ' s through the second sentence and concen- trated on the first. Students should take college more seriously. . . . They should not resort to petty subterfuges with the intent of deluding the instructor. Only yester- day f had had an interview with a young lady who by dint of writing in a bold, sprawling hand and leaving extravagant I decided. But once again a chord stirred in my memory. It was a glorious day in April, and then as now I was sitting at my typewriter. I was finishing the final draft of a paper on Jonathan Swift for a course in English Literature of the Eighteenth Century. 1 finished the final sentence, took the sheet of paper out of the type- writer, and began to arrange the other sheets, counting them as I did so. The re- sult of my calculation was pleasing. I had a twelve page paper. The first draft from which I had been copying ran to only seven and a half. And that final draft was a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Wide mar- gins at top and bottom and on either side, and triple-spacing gave my work an at- mosphere of spaciousness. I was pleased with this spaciousness, pleased also with the fact that my dozen pages exceeded by two the ten page minimum set by my instruc- tor.

Words wouldn ' t come. I propped my feet on my desk, lighted my pipe, and tried to think. As the smoke drifted upward, an idea be- gan to form, slowly, of course, as my ideas are wont to form. I will write, I decided, on the short comings of college students, and I will hold myself up to them as a hor- rible example of one who failed to heed the advice of his elders, Students should take college more seriously. I put a fresh sheet of paper in the type- writer. Students should take college more seriously.

A little dubiously I read those words. I think I can truthfully say. . . . No, this sort of thing wouldn ' t do. There was no use being hypocritical about it. I couldn ' t truthfully say what I ' d said. So I told the editor of La Revue that I couldn ' t write anything from the faculty point of view, because my memories of the stu- dent point of view were still too distinct and disturbing.

Wee McCluskey, as he is usually known. That tale is so good that it should be written in solid letters and pre- served for eternity. Murray McCluskey was the business manager for The Gold and Black the past year. He was a live-wire, a hot-rock — as opposed to a Wetrock, (which is an idle pun.) In the course of his duties as busi- ness manager of the paper, Mr. McCluskey found it necessary to go out and contact gentlemen in the business world in order to persuade them that the advertising serv- ices of the Hilltop paper were of a quality which the gentleman (well, most of them were gentlemen) couldn ' t afford to miss.

I pulled out my pipe and settled down in the big chair, my feet on the footstool that used to belong to — but that doesn ' t mat- ter. It was good to be sitting quietly, whuffing clouds of blue-gray smoke up towards the very dirty but pleasant look- ing ceiling. I sighed contentedly, very cow-like, and looked fondly down at the thin, red volume in my lap. It was my high school annual, my very own copy, complete with signatures of my friends. I opened it to the first fly leaf. Yes, there were those signatures. Every one a friend. There was Willie — who borrowed that dollar from me for a date and never paid it back — and Jim whom I hold dear in my memory because he swiped my best green tie one night, and Herbert whom I almost had a fight with but didn ' t because Herbert was my friend and also weighed some forty pounds more than I did.

Phone 3-3211 Did You Know- On the night before the Southern- Howard game, four Hilltop students went down to Legion Field and wrote BEAT HOWARD in large letters on the grid- iron. The incident was performed in the dark of the night. The boys carried a sack of lime to the North wall of the stadium and while they were lifting it up to the top of the wall, where they had boosted one of their number, the sack of lime broke and a goodly portion of it descended onto the face and body of one unfortunate adven- turer. In order to pick up the lime which had fallen to the ground when the sack split, a journey to one of the Hilltop fraternity houses was necessary. The result of the JEB ' S SEAFOOD HOUSE The only complete seafood house in Birmingham 420 No. 26th St. Free parking lot Terminal across from us. trip was the discovery of the fraternity garbage can. Not an ideal conveyance for such valuable lime, but not to be scorned in an emergency. After the boys had gotten the lime onto the field, via the garbage receptacle, they wrote BEAT HOWARD in large let- ters in the center of the playing field. The journey homeward was not with- out adventure itself. On leaving the grounds of the stadium, they suddenly spied a night watchman. Quick, one of the boys shouted, into that ditch! It was no time to be discovered in such a compromising situation. The four headed for the ditch which was some six feet deep. In they plunged, dauntlessly. Rain had fallen recently. There was six inches of water in the ditch. It was very wet water. Time passed antl it became safe to ven- ture foi ' tli. They did, only to be encoun- tered by an alert police patrol car. The four boys were not exactly clad for Sun- day meeting; their faces were filmed with a white substance which was not powder but lime. Old clothes had been in order for the occasion: they were even older as the police stared at them. Where you boys been? was the ques- tion put to the marauders by the gend- armes. Oh, we ' ve been working on the fra- ternity float, was the reply. Yes, working on the float. The fraternity float. The float. There was nt; disagreement amrjng the boys. The pcjiice did not take them into custody. It was a glorious and noble undertaking. The only trouble was that the watchman at the stadium was an alert fellow. He was a keen man with an eye to his duty. He was a man with both eyes to his duty. His two eyes saw the letters on the field the next morning and covered them up with dirt. That is why they were not on the field when the football team trotted out to meet Howard the next afternoon. Perhaps that is why the football team did not defeat Howard. It is as good an e. - cuse as any. ROLLER CHAMPION TIh Flour the Best Cooks Use COSBY -HODGES MILLING CO. Compliments of BROWN-SERVICE INSURANCE CO., INC. Home Office, BIR NGHA I, Ala. FRED S.
