In 1825, just thirteen years after her admission into the Union, the State of Louisiana founded her first college. Thus was established at Jack- son, Louisiana, The College of Louisi ana, as Centenary was then called. The aim of the school then, as it is now, was to provide an educa- tion for a maximum number of deserving young men and young women; and as an expression of that aim, the Board of Trustees, as one of the first official acts, passed a resolution to the effect that Any number of children of indigent parents, not exceeding fifty at any one time, may be educated in the college or preparatory school, free of charge. ,, This resolu- tion is still effective. In 1839, the Methodist Episcopal Church South celebrated the centennial of the work of the Wesley brothers by providing for and stressing the importance of Christian education. In that year, the Louisiana and Mississippi conference established at Brandon, Mississippi, a Centenary College, which, six years later, purchased and absorbed the College of Louisiana. This consolidation of the two colleges was mutually beneficial. By locating the combined schools at Jackson, Louisiana, Centenary obtained good buildings and an excellent site, while the Col- lege of Louisiana profited by better financing. 5 j Page eighteen 5 ncomx) = EGINNING with her establishment at Jackson, Centenary took her place as one of the great educational institutions of the country. By 1860 her reputation as a leader in the cause of Christian edu cation had become so wide that she was used as a pattern and her standards were adopted by institutions founded with an eye to the future. Then came the period of the war between the States, during the duration of which Centenary was closed. All her students answered the call of their state; every member of the graduat- ing class of 1861 died on the battlefield in defense of the Confederacy. During the conflict, the college buildings fell into the hands of the Union forces, and for some time were used as the headquarters from which were directed a number of military operations. During their occupancy, the Federal troops de- stroyed many of the priceless books, art treasures and museum specimens. The only rooms left unmolested were those here- tofore occupied by the Union Literary Society; these no doubt were protected by the name Union engraved on the doorway. Notwithstanding the losses incurred as a result of the war, Centenary resumed her educational activities in 1868, and, during the Reconstruction period, played an important part in the life and progress of the South. V I ' UL C eQJo 02 copm ■= HE YEARS following the Reconstruction period were prosperous ones for Louisi- ana: population increased, and new in- dustries developed. This progress was especially notable in northern Louisi- ana. Centenary, therefore, welcomed the invitation of the Progressive Young Business Men of Shreveport to locate in their city. To make this location possible, Mr. J. B. Atkins, Mr. J. W. Atkins, and their associates in the Gladstone Realty Company gave to Cen- tenary, in 1907, forty acres of beautifully wooded land on the outskirts of Shreveport. In 1908 Centenary was formally opened on her new site among new environs. Here the college secured new friends and additional assets. Ten years later came the World War, bringing in its wake financial stringency and financial strain. The year 1921 pre- sented a real crisis, and immediate assistance was necessary. In January of that year, a group of ten earnest, far-sighted, civic-minded, public-spirited men undertook the solution of Centenary ' s immediate future. Those present on that occasion were: E. A. Frost, F. T. Whited, Geo. S. Prestridge, J. C. Fos- ter, J. B. Hutchinson, T. C. Clanton, Dr. John L. Scales, R. T. Moore, Dr. Geo. S. Sexton, A. J. Peavy. The immediate finan- cial needs of the college were met by this body of men, and Dr. George S. Sexton was selected as the President of the insti- tution. Shortly after this, the business men of Shreveport raised a fund to help endow Centenary. i 2 5 Page twenty q I 2 5 =C iheHJo tjcopiz) = ENTENARY ' S greatest growth has oc- curred since 1920, during the years of Dr. Sextons incumbency as President. The total enrollment in 1920-21 was 43; in 1923-24 it was 404. For this session the enrollment will approximate 500. Since 1920 the productive endowment and total assets have also increased materially. On December 31st, 1920, the productive endowment was $90,000.00; by May 31st, 1924, this had reached a total of $653,657.93. On De- cember 31st, 1920 the total assets were $426,400.00; on May 31st, 1924, they were $1,217,206.30. The future seems very bright for Centenary. During the present year an endowment fund of $1,000,000.00 is being raised as a centennial gift. With this money new buildings will be erected and additional equipment will be provided. The administration and the faculty are bending their efforts toward making of CENTENARY a college second to none. We are looking forward with confidence toward the realization of their hopes. — S. A.

Yet fled away on hurrying wings. I ' ve seen the Red Man pass away, And where his wigwam lately stood The white man ' s temple stands today, A city for the silent wood. II And in that change I ' ve borne a part; How nobly, let the records tell. My creed was written in the heart Of those who bravely fought and fell. My loyal sons have borne my name On fields of conflict far and near; I make no other bid for fame Than this: they always held me dear. My strength has been in the hearts of men, Men who have walked in the ways of the great; Wielders were they of sword and pen, Builders were they of church and state. A hundred fateful years have passed, And yet, in truth, I am not old; Another hundred like the last Will leave my story half untold. IV I stand for God, for life, and truth, I face the daybreak, not the dark: Beneath my banners dauntless youth Still marches forward toward the mark. A hundred years stretch out before — Years full of deeds for those who dare. I stand beside the open door And lift my banner in the air. i 9 5 if! v Fall in! The triumphs of the past Are naught beside the ones to be; I ' ve nailed the pennon to the mast, I know no fate but victory. By God ' s own grace I ' ve led the field On many a glorious day; Youth cannot fail, youth will not yield, While Centenary leads the way. = J I ' nue twenty-seven Page twenty-eight Page twenty-nine Annie Edwards Barcus Professor of Expression B.

Harris Vice President Delia Munday Secretary and Treasurer HISTORY As Seniors at Csntenary College we look back with mixed emotions on our four years within these walls. We feel proud that we have successfully completed the work prescribed by our Alma Mater as well as that we have had a very small part in building the great institution we are so soon to leave. Even so. our hearts are filled with regret at having to leave dear friends and familiar haunts. Four years ago the wisest Freshman class of the century entered the doors of Centenary College. Each boy and girl was filled with that do-or-die spirit that is always significant of success. After many rebuffs, they settled down to hard work, not only along scholastic lines but upon every phase of campus activity. Throughout the years, athletics, bands, Glee Clubs, Literary Societies, all have claimed their share of the class of 1925. In each case they proved themselves leaders i n their own circles. As Sophomores, even though feeling themselves exalted above common students, this class began to think deeply and soon were striving harder to gain a more intimate knowledge about their fellow men and their surroundings. The midnight oil burned longer and brighter. When the Junior year was reached, the jaunty Freshman of two years previous had become sobered. Life began to take a more serious turn. Problems presented themselves daily to be solved and these students put forth even more earnest efforts toward their solution. In September, 1924, this group again entered these halls of learning. This time they came with a new joy, a great hope. Centenary College was rounding out her one hundredth year and they were to go through it with her. Upon them rested the responsibility of keeping her standards high and her record clean. With bowed heads they pledged themselves anew and began their work. Now the Seniors of 1925 are ready to leave their Alma Mater and seek success out in the world. She has taught them much. She has taught them the value of truth and honor; she has taught them that earnest effort alone is worthy of the goal of achievement. For this they love, remember and cherish her. They will look back to her with pride, and when passing under the shades of her lofty pines will again bow their heads and say: We thank thee for such a school.

Hortoin Presidenl George Meadows Vice Presiden: Norene Wilkins Secretary and Treasurei History In the fall of 1922 into dear Centenary there burst with a flare of energy a most remarkable class. Things immediately began to pick up around old Centenary. Where there had been a passive willingness to work before, these new people brought with therm enthusiasm. Never before had lessons been learned as they learned them; never before had pleasures held such joy as did theirs. Centenary was so well pleased with this unusual Freshman class that they urged them to burst back the following fall. The majority of them complied with the request, and brought with them very interesting additions which had been attracted to them from other colleges. This was such a glorious year and the Sophomore class so grew and prospered in the rich atmosphere of the college that, while still retaining their eagerness and enthusiasm, they began to take on such new dignity that by the 1924-25 season they had prepared themselves to become stately Juniors. The Juniors — as they have been since Freshmanhood — are leaders in all school activities. They are of the dependable character that is the joy of the often exasperated teachers existence. They never leave to others what they can do better themselves — hence the foregoing modest praise. — Helen Funderburk. i 9 5 T X J Page fifty-two Page fifty-three Page fifty-jour Page fifty-five Page fifty-six Page fifty-seven Page fifty-eight Page fifty-nim q i ins Page sixty ' C eQJo ncopiz) = i 2 5 = i 2 5 z i 9 5 J Page sixty-one 2 5 dpd ticomx) = (7P Officers of the Class of 1927 Bentley Sloane President Walter Colquitt Vice President Regina Taylor Secretary and Treasurer History Vengeance is mine! shouted the Sophomore as he pestered the innocent little Fresh. Such is the motto and motivating factor of our illustrious class. But that is partly due to heredity and also partly due to environment. Memories hardly a year old prompted us to act in such a manner. In the interclass games the Sophomores outshone the rest. In every phase of work — Athletics, Scholarship, Glee Cluh, Band, Oratory, Literary Societies, Social affairs, even in imitating the faculty, and all the rest — the Sophomores have con- tributed even more than their share. Ever loyal, ever true to their class and their Alma Mater, can be justly said of the Sophs. Enthusiastic, ardent, eager, impetuous, energetic, peppy, are all applicable to the Sophomore class. The Sophisticated Sophomores have a most promising future. The entire clas is imbued with the Centenary Spirit, that love and admiration for their Alma Matet and her ideals. With such standards before them it is certain that the class of 1927 will be the finest and best of all.

In the fall of 1924 the college enrolled the largest class in its history. The Freshmen soon caught the old spirit and its members have taken part in every phase of the college activities. In athletics the Freshman class was there with its share of honors. Many of the grid-warriors came from the class of 28. At ev;ry football game the Freshmen put on special programs during the halves; they were always there with the old spirit and pep. Centenary is very fortunate in having such a wonderful Freshman class. V J Page seventy-two l J age seventy-four Page seventy-five i y-six Page seventy-seven Page seventy-eight wanimtfcmsK i!

M. Bozeman Associate Editor Delia Munday Society Editor Hardie Eatman Sporting Editor The Centenary Conglomerate, until 1922 known as the Maroon and White, a bi-monthly publication, since becoming a weekly paper has had the good fortune to have at least one member of the staff a student with newspaper experience. In 1922, when the Conglomerate started as a weekly, James Airey, a newspaper reporter, became managing editor and A. V. Ball, Jr., who had seen service with an advertising agency, became bu siness manager. Mr. Ball resigned at the end of the fall term due to having to withdraw from college, and Maurice Ellington replaced him as business manager. D. B. Binford was chief of the editorial staff during this time. During the two following years the Conglomerate developed into one of Louisi- ana ' s best college papers. It was a period of rapid growth for Centenary and the student paper kept pace with the progress of its Alma Mater. The past year of ' 24- ' 25 at Centenary has seen the Conglomerate living up to its reputation of Louisiana ' s Livest College Paper. With the enrollment of Centenary steadily increasing year by year and the addi- tion of a Journalism Department to Centenary, the future prospects for the Con- glomerate seem very bright. It has been the policy of the present editor to always observe the rules and ethics of good journalism. Also, to avoid showing partiality to any one group or faction on the campus, editorial comment has been confined to questions bearing on the interests of the students and any matter likely to offend them has always been dumped into the waste basket. As the term of ' 24- ' 25 draws to a close, the present editor sings his swan song through the columns of the last issue of the Conglomerate for the season; but instead of writing a few verses of poetry he will let the copies filed away for posterity remain as the only record. His parting words to the new editor are those often made by the newspaper bug, It ' s a great game if you don ' t weaken. 9 2 5 t j Page out- hundred i 5 r 2 5 -J Pf;gB 01 ' .;. • .- fi tr .

Only a few of the more enthusiastic members of the Band and Glee Club rehearsing between routine duties. Against our ear drums crashes a railroad whistle, a potpourri of monologues and quartet harmonies, and the program is complete. Up goes the curtain and the Centenary Musical Club is gone. Prof. Mendenhall is not to be found. Dr. Morehead between spits is grunting that he thinks so and so. Ander- son agrees and Godbold suggests. In ten minutes after Peck has found the kevs to the trunk and all are dressed, and the program decided upon, then it really starts. ' Semper Fidelis is heard, and then the Gleekers finally me t A uie by the jtile and hark to the City Choir. after which the Band listens to the Mocking Bird and winds up with Dixie and everybody claps because it ' s patriotic. The Singers sing another which ends in silence, then Tyde trembles, I ' ll take the pill and the audience again roars, thinking that the song is funny, and they also clap. The Quartett makes a tremendous hit with numbers which they have been practicing for three years. Devine selects reading in which a seat is necessary. This item never fails. Band plays again, after which Carter comes out and laughs for five minutes. The whistle blows, the train comes in and out, and the program is over. I 9 5 M V J Page one luindred and two ? 2 5 £)fa d ncopizj = Everybody comes up and says that it ' s a great show. Harris accepts compliments for all and says that he ' s from Tennessee and has been singing for some years. Boys grab suitcases and after the inevitable waiting for Peck ' s flirting, then the Bus pulls out. Anderson gets the best seat in the Bus, but Godbold has arranged for a Pullman seat for himself. Banker takes his seat and a game of Match Ante starts. Harding wins and Clanton gripes. Preacher Banks hides cards while contestants are picking flowers on the side of the road and the game is automatically suspended. The outfit arrives in Shreveport — everybody mad. but eager to go again. The casualties for the season were as follows: Peck, one camera; Scales, one nose; Morehead, one Ford; Peck, one Yankee Doodle. All foolishness aside, everybody knows that the Band did great work during football season, and steadily kept up their practices throughout the year, and performed nobly in the concert tours. Mr. Morehead is deserv- ing of much praise for the work which he has done during his two years at Centenary with the Band. Out of a bunch of blowers he has developed a group of musicians who rank with the best of amateur bands. Playing through the entire season at the State Fair, working through the year and bearing the brunt of the Musical Club program, and finally being chosen by the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce to make the Spring Good Will excursion, the Centenary Band has indeed done a great work. The Glee Club, under the direction of Professor Mendenhall, also did some good work. The few numbers which the club sang were wel ' done and during the season were highly complimented. The Quartet, which passes from Centenary this year, never failed to please its audience, and the Shreveport Journal said of them: The best amateur number to appear on any local stage. In short, the Centenary Musical Club, made up of the Band and Glee Club, has thoroughly pleased all of its audiences and has been rated one of the best college musical organizations in tbe Soutli. — E.

These people realized the need for organized debating activities and decided that there should be more definite objectives than there have been at Centenary in recent years. They felt that Centenary must again be foremost in the State and in the South in forensic matters as she was in the old days. Therefore the council was established with the sincere and definite purpose of stimulating interest in debating matters. To begin with, a four-debate schedule with representative colleges of the South and West has been arranged for the Winter and Spring of 1925. Then, the council petitioned the largest national debating or forensic fraternity, Pi Kappa Delta, for a charter. This will doubtless be granted before the end of this session. The council stands for excellence in debating and oratorv and felt that an honor like Pi Kappa Delta will attract and develop debaters and orators; these may aspire not only to honor and achievement but also to recognition for their excellent work. i 9 5 ■ J) Page one hundred and twenty ff, d ncopiz) = «y CENTENARY DEBATING- COUNCIL 19 25 Motto: Argumentum Persuasionis Causa A.

The reputation of many former Centenary men as public speakers is an undying testi- monial to the care with which she has nurtured the spark of eloquence abiding in her voung of yesterday and today. Without reservation the students of oratory have alwavs stood for high scholastic attainments, uprightness of character and undying loyalty to their Alma Mater. Backed by traditions and inspired by the increased public recogni- tion of the orator, the entire College fosters and trains her students of public speech. Her platform representatives have meant defeat to the hopes of many able competitors, and have interwoven their love and enthusiasm for forensics into the fiber of Centenary ' s life, and have written the importance of oratorv on the pages of her history. Faithful friends and alumni have contributed in a great way to thi« phase of the College, by offering prizes, that serve as an impetus and reward to these young men and women. During the year Centenary was an entry in both the Women ' s State Forensic Association and the Men ' s State Peace Contest. Our representa- tive in the former was Miss Bessie Renfro, who won fourth place; in the Peace Contest Mr. James A. Norton won first place among five contestants. THE DEBATING TEAM Through the untiring work of Professors Salathe, Steger and Cline and a few students, a debating team was organized in the College during the Fall term of 1924. A schedule of three intercollegiate debates was arranged with colleges representing both West and South. Remarkable co-operation from every professor of the College aided the few students interested in this work. 9 5 I j Page one hundred and twenty-thre 2?C0pW = On February 19, the Centenary team, composed of R. M. Bozem an and Bentley Sloane, met and defeated, at Centenary, by a two-to-one deci- sion, a team representing Hendrix College on the question, Resolved: That a National Department of Education Should Be Created with Representa- tion in the Cabinet. Centenary defended the negative side of the question. This was the first time Hendrix had met defeat in twelve years. On the evening of April 1st, Centenary ' s team, composed of R. M. Bozeman and Jack Frost, met and defeated, bv a two-to-one decision, the team from Utah Agricultural College of Logan, Utah. The contest was held in the College Chapel. It was hard fought throughout. The ques- tion debated was, Resolved : That Congress should be empowered to over- ride by a two-thirds vote in both Houses decisions of the supreme court, which declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. Centenary defended the negative side. The Utah men, Weston Vernon and Milton Merrill, were holders of the Rocky Mountain Conference debating championship ; having been victors in all previous engagements. This victory was great indeed for Centenary and gave her recognition in a new field of activity. In the third debate with Southwestern of Louisiana, held in Lafayette on the evening of April 14th, the Centenary team, composed of Miss Lenora Waller and Mr. R. M. Bozeman, again were victorious by a two- to-one decision. In some respects this debate was the most important of any previous one, as our debaters were on foreign territory and won with judges admittedly biased against their side of the question. The question debated was, Resolved: That the Towner Sterling Educational Bill should be passed. Centenary again took the negative. Southwestern ' s debate coach said that the Centenarians put up the first real debate he had ever heard in this state and were to be commended for their familiarity with the subject and ease in speaking. This was the first intercollegiate contest with one girl and one boy, but it is hoped as seasons pass more girls and many more boys will throw themselves into this valuable field of college activity. 1? 9 5 j Page one hundred and twenty-four Me tier o i 5 Coach E. A. Davis Earl A. Davis, head football coach of Centenary College, has been very successful in this line of work throughout his career. Davis attended Transylvania University of Lexington, Ky., and in 1915 took his first coaching job at Phillips University of Enid, Okla. In 1916 he went to Missouri Wesleyan, where he remained six years, developing a winning team each year. For five years the Missouri Wesleyan gridiron warriors were champions of the M. I. A. A. and in the season of 1918 and 1919 the team was not scored on. After leaving Missouri Wesleyan, Coach Davis went to McKendrie College, of Lebanon, 111., coaching there the seasons of 1923-24. In the spring of 1925, he came to Centenary College to take over the athletic work here. The first year at McKendrie College, the team had an even break, winning four, losing four and tieing one. The second year the team won the I. I. A. A. by going the entire season without a defeat. Since Coach Davis has been with us this short time he has won a place in the hearts of all the boys and we predict a great future for his athletes. f 9 5 t Page one hundred and twenty-seven Cj — 1 2 5 zicomxr •= Bo McMilun.

Bard Ferrall was the individual star of the game with his 80-yard run for a touchdown, though every regular of the Centenarv team did yeoman work.

Centenary completely outclassed the Missouri team from the start, losing several additional touchdowns by tough breaks.

Coach Bo McMillin put every man on the squad into the game, the Gentlemen making at least one touchdown in every quarter of the contest. This win in part assuaged the Tennessee Doctors ' defeat, as the Gentle- men ' s net total was greater than the Doctors ' net total. 1= J Page one hundred and forty-one ®J L 3 L iheHJo wcopiz) = Football Season This past year has been the most successful football season in the one hundred years of Centenary ' s history. Coach Bo McMillin came to us in 1922. At that time Centenary was hardly known outside the state of Louisiana for its athletic activities. That year McMillin put out a team that suffered only one defeat; the next year the team had more experience and again went through a season of hard conflicts with onlv one defeat, that being administered by Boston College. In the fall of 1924 forty huskies answered the call of McMillin and Norton for a berth on the Gentlemen ' s squad. This year the boys came back with the old determination to whip the Boston Eagles that had defeated them the past year. This year the schedule was one of the hardest that Centenary had ever known; it contained not only games with the teams of the South, but four intersectional games. The gentlemen were successful in all of their games with the exception of the Tennessee Doctors game. During the tutelage of McMillin there were only two teams to defeat the Gentlemen, the Boston Eagles and the Tennessee Doctors, which is a marvelous record for a school with an enrollment less than 500. The game that meant more to the Gentlemen was the Boston College game in Boston, Mass. Twenty-two thousand fans saw the Gentlemen administer a defeat to the Eagles to the tune of 10 to 9. The score does not indicate the strength of our team, because the Gentlemen outplayed the Eagles in every phase of the game. Eminent sport critics stated that the Southern lads were at least three touchdowns the superior. i 5 Jf J Page one hundred and forty-two i 2 5 -C eOJo y covin = The Butler Game By Mary E. Bostwick In the Indianapolis Sunday Star. October 19. 1924 SCRATCH LOUISIANA FROM OUR INVITATION LIST, MARY SAYS Their Football Teams Haven ' t Manners Enough to Let Indianians Win Once in a While, So We May Have to Sic Notre Dame on Them. If this sort of thing keeps up, pretty soon the Indiana football teams will stop inviting these Louisiana teams up to spend the week-end. Yes- terday afternoon Centenary College, which comes from Shreveport, La., failed to endear itself to its host by hanging up a score of 9 to 7 — and alas, how well do we recall what happened a week ago, when Louisiana State boys from Baton Rouge played I. U.! However, if Indiana simply must play Louisiana teams every Satur- day, why don ' t they play Louisiana College? After a careful search through the World ' s Almanac, where all sorts of odd information is to be found, I have discovered that Louisiana College is at Pineville, La., and has a grand total of 245 students. Maybe if we sic Notre Dame into this institution, the word Louisiana would not have the raucous sound that it now has. HOMECOMING CLIMAX, TOO This game was the climax of the Butler College Homecoming celebra- tion, too, and had the same kind of a general effect as if a merry party was holding a grand merry reunion, and had invited some outsiders in, and the outsiders went to work and kicked all the keys off the piano or threw all the phonograph records at the cat, or otherwise wrecked the festivities. Irwin field was crowded until it was probably permanently warped, and those who could not scare up the price of an admission ticket roosted in the trees or on telegraph poles outside the inclosure, or sat on the ridge poles of buildings that overlooked the arena. The Butler band played — and the bass drummer could let the world know he was individually pleased with what went on — when such a thing happened — by thumping i 2 5 T V J Page one hundred mid forty-three i 2 5 -C eOJo njcopiz) e his drum, thus putting; his personal elation on record. Thousands of hlue and white paper caps were worn. William G. Irwin, himself of Columbus, for whom Irwin field is named, was right on the side-lines, wearing a Butler arm badge. SOUTHERNERS TAKE TO WARMTH Over this festive scene, out of a blue sky that nicely matched the sweaters worn by the Butler team, shone the sun. Boy, we ' ll say it shone! If this kind of weather keeps up the footballers will have to wear a costume consisting of a pair of track pants and cleated shoes, and nothing; else. You could see the Indiana boys visibly getting thinner as you looked, though it was just warm enough to limber the Southerners up nicely. Before the regular game two freshman teams put on a curtain-raiser — the Blues played the Golds, and the Blues won by a score of 4 to 0. It seems they made two safeties. That ' s nice, isn ' t it, for now they can get a shave. So early in the first quarter that it almost seemed as if the company was grabbing impolitely for the birthday cake, Mr. Ferrell of Shreveport made a touchdown. This was not so good, and a heavy gloom descended upon the spirits of the Butler celebrants. The game surged back and forth, as a football game will. Centenary made a fair catch, whatever that is, and after a long delay it was announced that they could either scrimmage it or kick it. What could be fairer than that? GRIGGS GETS THE BALL Mr. Griggs of Butler pleased one and all by getting the ball and making a sideways run, in which he rudely pushed over no less than three Shreveporters who tried to intercept him, and who collided heavily with his large and outstretched hand. Mr. Bo McMillin, the Shreveport coach — who is remembered with mingled emotion for the things he did f 9 5 v J Page one hundred and forty-four i 2 5 3 C iheQJo ncopiz) ■= when he was playing with Centre College — appeared on the field, briefly bound on some mysterious mission. Mr. Rebsamen of Centenary suffered some casualty and was taken off by four brethren, while the crowd applauded cordially. Personally, if I were being taken away in an ambulance, I wouldn ' t care to have the throng applaud; but football is different, isn ' t it? The second quarter opened with Butler close to the Mason-Dixon line, and Mr. Paul of Butler made a touchdown. Mr. Paul is number 13 on the Butler team, but everybody who saw the figures go up on the score board — 7 to 7 — could never be persuaded the number was unlucky. Mr. Weekly of Louisiana, who, among the superdreadnaughts on the field, looked about as big as a pint of soup, was as lively as a water bug. Whenever anybody said, there he goes it would turn out to be Mr. Weekly. He can dodge like a fliver in a line of traffic, and thinks nothing of making a run of twenty-five yards or so. Toward the end of this quarter, Centenary made a safety, and the dolorous figures, Butler 7, Visitors 9, appeared on the score board. PIG NOT INCLINED THAT WAY Between halves the freshmen staged a greased pig contest. The pig had evidently the vaguest idea of what it was all about, and that a certain amount of sportsmanship was demanded of him as a loyal Indiana pig. He came out of his crate glistening as if he had brushed his hair with stayslicko, and had that well-groomed look — but instead of giving the Freshmen a run for their money, he seemed to say: A pig should not run himself ragged on a hot day like this, and let himself be caught almost without a struggle. The third quarter opened with Butler well down the enemy ' s terri- tory, but as the man who was going down for the third time said, an inch is an awful lot of space when your nose is under water, and they couldn ' t get over. Mr. Ferrall of Louisiana made a long run, and nearly fell over the referee. Mr. Paul of Butler tackled a Shreveporter around the neck. i 9 2 5 = J Page one hundred and forty-iiv Q C oi zicomx) = Mr. White of Louisiana made a run of twenty-five yards or so, and only halted when practically the entire Butler team fell on his neck. Another Shreveporter tried for a place kick, but it fell too far to starboard and did not count. There were innumerable pow-wows, with the teams sitting around in circles, muttering among themselves. They do this after every play. What if boxers sat down and talked it over every time they got punched in the nose? But, as I say, football is different. BUT IT DIDN ' T GO OVER The fourth quarter opened up nicely with Butler practically in the suburbs of Shreveport. and yearning to see more of the town. Hardly had the echoes of the starting whistle died on the air, when Mr. Schwartzer of Centenary suffered from some mysterious ailment and was taken out. The industrious Mr. Griggs of Butler, who had been worki ng so that he made a flock of beavers look like loafers, got the ball and the Solid South leaped on his back. A place kick was attempted by Butler. If it goes over, the score is 10 to 9, quoth a jubilant Butlerite. However, the arithmetic was premature, for it didn ' t go over. Mr. Weekly appeared on the scene again after a brief and unex- plained absence. The last few minutes of the last quarter most of the play was obscured in clouds of dust, and the bell at the railroad crossing rang almost continually, and I thought The man at that crossing is probably a loyal Butler student, and is taking this method to root for the team. Only just then a train went by. Well, the boys got pretty rough with each other toward the end of this quarter, and so many changes were made in the Butler team — this boy going in, and that boy going out — that it almost needed a traffic cop to keep them all going in the right direction, but they couldn ' t get over i 9 5 J Page, one hundred and forty-six i 2 5 3 C iheQJo ncopm = the Centenary line, and the whistle blew and it was still 9 to 7, with Centenary on the majority side. And one thing I wish they would do, and that is, stop wearing these leather head guards, because they are always flying off, and those of us who are less expert in the game mistake them for the ball and hence mis-? some important plays. CELEBRATION NOT DIMMED However, bitter as was this defeat at the hands of Centenary, it didn ' t totally wreck the celebration. The celebration, in fact, got under way hours before this blight descended on it. J 3 2 5 J Page one liumlrvd and forty-seven q i 2 5 C M n covin c 1925 Football Outlook By Walter Schwam Associate Professor of journalism. Centenary ' s athletic star shines brightly as the year 1925 gets under way. The adoption of a substantial schedule for the football season, coupled with attractive basketball and baseball programs with representa- tive colleges of Louisiana and the South is very pleasant to students, alumni and followers of the destinies of Centenary College. Earl A. Davis, who conies to the college as head coach in March, has been signed for a three-year term. He comes to the institution with an enviable reputation as a tutor of things athletic. He had great success at Missouri Wesleyan, where he coached for five years, and at McKendree College, Lebanon, 111., which he has coached for the past two seasons. Mr. Davis is the fifth man to assume the coaching duties at Centenary since the institution was permanently established in Shreveport. First was Dr. B. C. Garrett, who was succeeded by E. V. Levie and Beverly Hebert, the latter coaching in partnership. Then came Homer Norton, Football Schedule for 1925 Sept. 26 — Mississippi College at Shreveport. Oct. 3 — Howard Payne College at Shreveport. Oct. 10 — Union University at Shreveport. Oct. 17— Rollins College at Shreve- port. Oct. 24 — Tennessee Doctors at Shreveport. Oct. 31 — Open. Nov. 17 — Central Teachers College at Shreveport (State Fair). Nov. 14— Open. Nov. 21 — Butler University at Shreveport. Nov. 26 (Thanksgiving Day)— Tu- lane University at Shreveport. who was followed by Bo McMillin, Norton remaining as director of athletics and head coach of basketball and baseball. Norton is completing his fifth year with this college this session, and has been re-signed for a three-year period. Centenary ' s football program for the coming gridiron season will bring joy to loyal alumni, students and supporters of the college. In- cluded on the eight-game card are three S. I. A. A. opponents, one South- ern Conference foe, a representative institution of the Middle West, a member of the T. I. A. A., an institution of Oklahoma I. A. A., and the Tennessee Doctors, one of the most powerful teams in the South. Schedules in future years will find even more S. I. A. A. and S. C. institutions. Centenary ' s admission into the first named having brought invitations from the best colleges in the South. The grid chart for 1926 will find no less than six S. I. A. A. teams, as well as one or two Southern Conference institutions. The 1925 schedule is very promising and exacting, i. e.. promising in that it will bring prestige with victories, and exacting in that a good team will be necessary to earn prestige from these contests. Tulane University needs no introduction to fans of this section or the South, for that matter. The securing of the game with the New Orleans Greenbacks for Thanksgiving Day will mean that the largest crowd ever to witness a game in North Louisiana will be present. This game with Tulane is Centenary ' s first contest with any Southern Conference team. i 9 2 5 V J Pope one hundred and forty-eight 5 = Oncovin = — J3 9 2 5 J ' «.« • w hundred and forty-nim i 5 %= -C qJb. njcopiz) ■= 1925 Basketball Results Centenary College 28 Centenary College 18 Centenary College 25 Centenary College 17 Centenary College 18 Centenary College 39 Centenary College 20 Centenary College 27 Centenary College 23 Centenary College 29 Centenary College 28 Centenary College 31 Centenary College 23 Centenary College 23 Louisiana College 26 Louisiana College 37 B ' ham Southern 37 Howard College 30 Mississippi U 35 Millsaps College 27 Dlo Y.

The schedule was indeed a hard one but if we had had a gym. such as had the teams we played, things would have been different. Norton will be with us next year and assures us a winner. i 9 5 Jim Horton, Captain, Guard Captain Jim was our bulwark of defense. And not only that but he could loop those baskets, too. Quick as a fox and also as wise, he broke up raanv an opponent ' s rally. Consistency was his middle name. He was a capable leader and in there fighting for victory all the time. He was greatly loved by all his fellow players and will be greatly missed next year. v =J Fage one hundred and fifty-two i 2 5 -C W •naopki ■= Clyde Wafer, Center Clyde was our regular center during the first part of the season but, due to sickness on our first trip, he had to retire from the game a few weeks. His towering size and speed caused the opposing centers to worry while he was in the fray outreaching them and looping the basket. He was always in the mid:t of the hardest of the game and fought to the very last. This is his last year and the fellow who dupli- cates him will have to do some tall stepping. Jim Pierson, Guard Pierson took care of the running guard ' s duties, and was not to be criticized; for his fighting spirit kept the ball in his possession when it was close by. He was good in taking the ball from the tip-off and if he had half a decent shot at the hoop the referee had just as well blow his whistle and indicate two points. Jim has bid farewell to his Centenary ' s basketball days as this is his last year. mm mm J Page one hundred and fifty-thn ■ ®T7? owcom 2?C0pW J= Frank Boydston, Captain Elect, Forward For the second consecutive year Frank was high point man of the squad. This is accounted for by his interest in the game, and also because he played in every minute of every game of the entire season. No court was too large for him. He was always sorry to hear the timer ' s gun as he wanted to plav some more. As a passer and dribbler there are few college players who can compete with him. He will play his fourth vear as captain and assures us that if a good court is provided for there will be few defeats. Files ( Dutch ' ) Binion, Guard Dutch ' s speed on the floor was a great help on our defense. He could dash from one end of the court to the other and was always breaking to- ward the basket to receive a pass or charging at an opponent who had, or was about to receive, the ball. This being his first year in college basket- ball, he did not quite reach stardom. Next year his old fight and courage will be playing havoc against the teams we meet. k i 5 F J Page one hundred and fifty-four i 2 5 C qJo ncopizf ■= Albert Beam, Forward Although he was the smallest on the team, his size did not count against him when it came to playing basketball. He was quick and could handle the ball gracefully. Dribbling was his feature; many times he brought the ball to the basket him- self and also shot the basket. He was always on the alert, interfering with the other team ' s passing. Next year will see him again on the court plaving the same steady and flashy game. Glenn ( Ham ) Crawford, Center Ham, a tall and lanky athlete, was used as center and forward, and in both places his services were oi the best type. Although he was not a star, he could be counted on to fill his part in a pleasing and con- scientious way. His love for the game made him dependable and next year is surely going to be his year. 2 5 J I ' agv one hundred and fifty-five C ekJo wcopm = Zollie Bennett, Guard Zollie looked good at the beginning of the season but could not get in condition, but when he was in the game his two hundred and twenty pounds did not spend any awkward moments.

Coach Norton is loved not only by the boys that play under him but by the whole student bodv. This year he had only five letter men back at their old positions. In the first six starts he has been successful and a great year is predicted.

Frank is hitting this year like a house on fire and if he continues his pace will lead the team in hitting. He keeps the pitchers on the go at all times; his eye is like an eagle ' s and he heats out many hunts. - Jim Pierson, Pitcher Jim has been working as a hurler and has plenty of stuff. He is a bit wild but, with the coming of summer, we predict that he can get them over in splendid fashion. Jim is a hard hitter and hits them to the tall timbers.

Red is a southpaw that has all kinds of curves and plenty of control; his pitching record is 1,000 per cent and he led the team in hitting. He is fast on the bases and was runner-up in stolen bases.

Huckaby, Jr., a graduate of Louisiana State University, was secured to coach the girls. Mrs. Huckaby is especially adapted to this work, having a special course at the State University. She is loved not only by the girls but by the whole student body. Through the efforts of Mrs. Huckaby, the Centenary Women ' s Ath- letic Association was organized, during the Winter term of 1925. The purpose of the organization is to promote Athletics among the women in the college, to create a love of sports, and to foster the ideal of good sportsmanship. Any woman student in the college carrying the prescribed numbers of hours of academic work and taking any offered course in Physical Training is eligible for membership, provided that shti has made the required number of points toward her letter. To every member that has to her credit the prescribed number of points is awarded a letter, points being given for hiking, tennis, bicycling, class teams, swimming, horseback riding and other phases of physical education. The highest honor in athletics is a blanket which is to be given each year to the girl chosen by the association for having the best athletic prowess and being the best sportsman. HP i 9 2 llll II J Page one hundred and sixty-seven €T The executive board of the association is composed of the instructing staff, the officers of the association, the heads of each activity, together with the representatives of each class. The executive board this year included: Mary K. Jones Head of Volley Ball Emily Sue Cupples Head of Basketball Hazel Smith Head of Social Committee Anna Lee Honaker Head of Hiking Mary Lea Senior Representative Martha Monroe Junior Representative Lenora Waller Sophomore Representative Monique Weldon Freshman Representative The association has accomplished very much this year. Not only has it caused the girls to take more interest in the physical training depart- ment, but it has also helped the college in various ways. One achieve- ment of the organization is the annual Stunt Night, in which all classes and organizations participate. This year the Zeta Delta sorority won the trophy. The entire student body most heartily enjoyed the presentation. Through this means enough money was made to finance the May Day Festival, which is also another attractiv e event. Miss Mary Gillespie, who had so loyally coached and directed the folk dances, was unanimously chosen by the association as May Queen, and it was a matter of great regret that illness prevented her taking part in the festivities. Miss Emily Sue Cupples was then selected by the girls for the place of honor, and from her throne, set in a rose bower of unusual beauty, this charming young ruler held sway. To the dormitory boys we are indebted for the carpentry work of the stage settings, and to the many who gave of their time and talents to help us realize our greatest success we extend our full thanks. It was night before Mrs. Campbell, with Swede, Waller, Devine, Tilleux, Larche and Miss Bishop as her assistants, had finally returned all the potted plants to Manheim ' s, banked all the chairs, and otherwise salvaged the scenery; and between rescuing Mrs. Huckaby ' s $15 worth of cheese-cloth and Mrs. Brown ' s white roses (loaded with sweet memo- ries though void of perfume), it was some job. The girls have found that in all their duties and pleasures that in- spiration and consequent broadening of viewpoint which interest and participation in the Athletic Association gives. The association stands for honesty, loyalty and clean sportsmanship. To that end it gives its teams its heartiest support, cheering them on to honest endeavor for good play- ing and for victory.

The college has built four tennis courts that are modern in every sense of the word. Each spring a tournament is held to decide the cham- pionship of the college. The college has never put out a varsity tennis team, but we feel sure that 1926 will see Centenary with a real varsity team. In 1924, the championship of the singles for men was won by Bently Sloane. This was Bently ' s first year at Centenary and he had a battle from the beginning to the end. He was consistent in all phases of the game and showed that he had a cool head. Bently should make a real contender for a place on the varsity teams, and it is hoped that the college will put out a team in 1926. In 1925, the championship of the college, in men ' s singles, went to another Freshman, Claude Hamel. Claude had some real competition and showed plenty of form in all the sets. The finals were played between Red DeGraffenreid and Claude Hamel. Red played a very hard brand of tennis and the sets were lost only by a few points. The doubles have been eliminated to the finals. In the finals Hamel and Redden will battle Scales and E. Hardin for the championship of the college in doubles. Hamel and Redden are favorites to win. Much talk is heard on the campus about Centenary organizing a tennis team next year and playing some of the neighboring colleges. Already some of the more enthusiastic boys have organized a tennis club with the above purpose in view. J Page one hundred and eight 1 ) • • m Centenary Football Team in Czecho-Slovakia This year our team has made an unusual trip; we had defeated every school in the Unit- ed States, England, France, Spain, Germany, Japan, etc. There was only . one team left to play to become the world champions. This team was the aggrega- tion of Czecho-Slovakia. We got in touch with them, due to the skillful tactics of Wart ' Kelly, and soon had them booked for a game. The Czecho-Slovakians were to pay the way of the whole school, with the exception of Luther Grounds, who, it was feared, might vamp the queen.. Everybody was on time at the Centenary Drug Store, with the excep- tion of Rebsamen. He had last been seen kissing his many girl friends good-bye. Red Lawrence was sent after him and returned just as the last car prepared to proceed from Shreveport. We were all there — and several of our society men, including Robt. Cross, John Dowell, Hardie Eatman and Gordon Cook, carried their harems. Eatman was awarded the prize for having the ugliest woman. We were bound for New Orleans to catch the boat for Europe. Everybody on the train had a lot of fun reading magazines and counting telephone poles. Several of our gamblers started rolling the bones and when Zollie shouted Shoot a dollar, six were wounded in the rush. After we had traveled about half the way everyone was having lots of fun. Some were sleeping and were eagerly watching the dice roll on the floor when — crash! The train had struck a peanut box and was wrecked. The conductor announced that we would be delayed about six hours What should we do? Oh! We have it. Only twenty-five miles; we would walk. Everybody piled out and, with James Harris in the lead, we started out walking, amusing ourselves counting ties. We made it to New Or- leans in 35 minutes. Everybody was ordered to be on hand at the ship at 13 o ' clock. The boat chartered to take us was the Capitol. There was a football field, a gymnasium, four tennis courts, basketball courts, a quarter-mile track, and golf links on it. 9 2 5 J l ' ir v ono hundred find eighty-eight I 2 5 Cpd ijcopw ■= Everybody boarded the Capitol at 12:56 o ' clock. The string was pulled by Mr. Rhoads, and we caught air out of the harbor. We forgot to mention that McDon- ald and Dutch Binion had been hired to make the trip with us. The first day we danced all night. Oh! Immortal Gods, would that it were so that we, having fun more by much than we had ever had before, had been able to dance thusly in this manner for the rest of our days. On the second morning we started a tennis tourna- ment, while the football team had a little workout. Everybody had begun to have the best time ever. On the way over it was thought at the time that the boat was sinking. Frank Boydston immediately began trying to sell his watch to Glenn Crawford, who was peddling peanuts to buy Crittie a Christmas present. He sold it to him for a dime but when the ship again righted itself Frank cried so hard that Glenn returned his watch. We arrived in Abcdefghijkl early in the morning of August 23, 1924. There were 100,000 people at the pier waiting for us. We came off the ship in state and walked to our hotel. The name of the hotel was Tsgrp. The game was scheduled for the next day. Our team was ready and raring. That night we pulled a snake dance and scared the town to death. All of us were loaded with cowbells, horns, megaphones, et cetera. At nine o ' clock the next morning the arena started to fill up. Our section was reserved, so we need not worry. We entered the field of Czecho at 2 o ' clock, making as much noise as possible. When the yell leader started we shut up so the crowd could hear him. Howard and Frost went over to give them a few lessons in yelling, but all the members of the opposite sex were so charmed by their nice stay-combed hair that the boys, for fear they would vamp them, ordered them to park on their own roost. Google wook ot row pzdg dam, he shouted. And suddenly thev began some ungodly song. We were awe-struck and did not open our mouths. Finallv came the game. Our college started the same old line- L J Page one hundred anil eighty-nine q =C iheQJo wcopm up: Weaver, Hubbard, Pierson, Wafer, Rebsamen, Hogue, Maddox, Letteer, White, Ferrall and Place. We kicked off. Czecho-Slovakia returned the ball ten yards. And then we heard their signals. Tggle de boobo. Oaro coo coo, uum, trem millium. The ball was snapped and a man ran out around the end. Wafer stopped him by a souviner given him by Asbestos before sailing abroad. The game was too exciting to put in detail. It was as safe to plunge the Centenary line as it was for a man to enter Hades with a bomb in each pocket. Signals were called in rapid succession. The game was fast and furious, and it really was so hot that the referee got to where he would line the teams up ten feet apart, throw the ball up between them and shout Go after it! One time the referee was a bit slow in his movements, and a moment later he was carried off the field on a stretcher, his hands folded and a rule book on his breast. The game ended 277 to in our favor. The Czecho-Slovakians immediately showed themselves to be good sports by running us out of town. We got back on the ship and started for New York. The news of our victory preceded us by wireless, and President Coolidge, Jack Dempsey, C. L. Odom and Marie Silverburg, who had been forced to stay at home on probation, were there to meet us. The city of New York declared a two weeks ' holiday, and gave us daily banquets and dinners. Each and every member of the school was given a gold medal by the United States government. Having grown tired of New York, we left there, returning home via Washington and spending a day and night with the president. We then provided funds for a mam- moth ball by telling the cabinet members that we wanted a bill passed that would give us such funds. Having assured ourselves that such a bill would be passed and that our wishes would be granted, we boarded the train for Shreveport. When we arrived in Shreveport every man, woman and child of the said villiage was at the station to greet us. We are sorry, but we woke up before our Shreveport friends could entertain us. i 2 5 V. =J Page one hundred mid ninety -C eOJo 27COVW = RING MOUNTINGS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION WHITE GOLD, GREEN GOLD, YELLOW GOLD BULOVA WATCHES As Beautiful as They Are Serviceable A.

PROGRAM Freshman Stunt — Radio Rowdies This was a broadcasting act from station STATIC. Misses Mon- ique and Annette Weldon sang several numbers and received much ap- plause. Miss Lucille Barham broadcast a dance. She was attired in a lovely Spanish gown and was a regular knockout. Flo Ziegfeld tuned in just before this number and has already offered Miss Barham an attractive contract. Miss Marguerite Piatt gave several readings that brought the house down. She has received several congratulations from Siberia, Alaska. Hawaii, and Coushatta for her ability in articulation.
