No other state can point to a more glorious past or to a more romantic history. The flags of Spain and of France once flew over her territory: the pages of her history are rich with names of valorous men. The state itself is the open stage on which great dramas have heen played. The beauty of cy- press and of pine forests has formed the background; the men of many nations have acted the roles. Greater than the records of any war, more vital than the account of any industrial or commercial progress is the glorious but half unknown treasure of Louisiana tradition. It is for us who love the state to make the story known. It is for us who have seen the beauty of her sunsets and the splendor of her dawns and the clear unclouded skies above her forests 1 to learn and to appreciate her history. We must awaken in our hearts a love for the spiritual beauty as well as the natural beauty of our state. There is no other chapter in the history of Louisiana that holds more interest and more color than that which tells the story of the Indian. Everywhere in the L ' nited States recently, there has been an awakened appreciation for the civilization and the accomplishment of the Red Man. Everywhere there has been an effort made to undo the ruthless destruction wrought by the white man and to excavate from the ruins of the Indian race the true story of its greatness. Louisiana is especially wealthy in Indian tradition. There is a veritable store house of legends and tales which should interest every native of the South. It is our purpose in the Centenary Yoncopin of 1926 to dedicate our efforts to an appreciation of this part of our history, and it is our hope that we may arouse in others the spirit of interest and admiration which has attracted us to this theme. The people of Northern Louisiana should find especial interest in the Caddo Indians. Not only are they an unusual, an almost unique tribe, but they were very important in the history of Shreveport. The Caddo Indians were a quiet, pastoral, peaceful tribe. They lacked whollv the nomadic disposition and hunling instincts of most Indian nations. They were content to settle in one place, to cultivate and enjoy that land until a scarcity of water or other urgent causes impelled them to go on. Either the Caddo tribe lacked the fanciful imagination of most Red Men or they were particularly secretive, for they have failed to pass down to us any great collection of romantic stories. They do not lack interest, however, even though this failure to hand down tra- ditions has led some to the belief that the Caddos were not a full-blooded Indian tribe. The body of the last chief of the Caddo nation was washed up in 1888 at Stony Point. About the head and arms there were bands and bracelets of silver which led one to speculation concerning their origin. Were there silversmiths among these Indians or were the ornaments purchased from the Spanish? The Caddo language is known from the vocabulary and the speech of the survivors, the Natchitoches and the Yatosi. These tribes were their relatives and, according to one writer, Caddo was the lamuia e of trade. [26] One of the least known but one of the most beautiful legends of the Caddo Indians is the story of the Silver Water. A Caddo brave, young and strong and respected by his tribe, fell in love with the daughter of the chieftain of the Avoyed tribe. At that time the two tribes were engaged in open warfare and the union seemed impossible. The parents of both lovers refused their consent. Such was the strength of their love and so great their determination, however, that they decided to run away, to renounce their family ties and their allegiance to their tribe for a greater love. The father of the Indian maiden discovered that his daughter had gone. He pursued her and her lover. He gained in his race until he was almost upon them. When it seemed that her father would overtake them and their happiness would be destroyed, the brave and his sweetheart stopped and invoked the Great Spirit to send some protection. The Great Spirit heeded their prayer, and between the two lovers and the father of the maiden there suddenly appeared a great body of silvery water. It gleamed and glimmered in the sun. It sparkled with cool ripples of silver. The prayer had been answered; the Great Spirit had looked with favor upon the Caddo brave. The father of the maiden perceived the blessing of the union. He bowed before the power of a greater will. He received his daughter again and the Caddo brave for his son. The Silver water remained, however, even after its purpose had been served. Its silvery surface reflected the beauty of the sky and of the Louisiana landscape. It reminded the Indians of the favor of the Great Spirit. The lake, which was called the Silver Water, was an actual part of old Shreve- port. Until a short time ago it filled the lowlands which have since become our business district. Its exact location was that part of the town where the Elks club and the L. A. depot are located today. This legend, interesting as it is, is little known to the people of Shreveport. For it we are indebted to Mrs. Maud Hearne Pry who has recently written a his- tory of Shreveport. The history of the Indian is a tragic one, but there are pages where the tragedy is glorified by the dauntless courage of the Red Man and there are ch apters where he arises triumphant even over death. The legend of the Pascha Ongoulas is the story of such a victory. When the Pascha Ongoulas (called the French Pascagoulas) saw the steady advance of the white man, and realized that because of wars with the Biloxi Indians and the white man each year brought about the lessening of their power, they decided that they would destroy themselves. They were becoming ex- tinct; their race was doomed, but they wanted to die as they had lived, with courage and spirit unbroken. They determined to clasp hands and to walk into the sea, sing- ing the song of death. This was, in all probability, about 1820. There were only twenty families in 1794 when that region was first settled. They had first settled on the western side of the Mississippi, then later at the confluence of the Gigolet du Bon Dieu and the lied River. Under Chief Louis de Blanc, they occupied the lower part of this ten i- tory, but their principal village was Mount Pleasant. They spoke a language peculiar to themselves while the Biloxi, their enemies, spoke Mobilian. When Baron Caron- delet wished to assemble them to elect a chief and locate on the Catahoula Bayou they determined to move and sold their lands. L27J The end of the tribe was dramatic and beautiful. Clasping hands and singing the death song as they marched, they moved together into the mouth of the Pasca- goula River, and the waters closed over them. Another race passed from the eternal stage, but the memory of their valor lingered on, and even today the waters at that point sing a plaintive echo of their last song. The Mysterious Music of the Pascagoulas has been given no other explanation. Folk lore throughout all ages exhibits one char acteristic always prevalent. The people of the soil have recognized their close kinship to nature and have, in one degree or another, worshipped natural beauty. The religion of the Red Man, simple, sincere and powerful, recognized the sanctity of trees. According to the Indian there were four Sacred Trees in the world. One was at the mouth of the Mississippi, one on the eastern seashore, one at the entrance of Vermilion Bay; and one at Hi ' pinimc on Grand Lake. The last was a cypress. The Indians revered these trees and it was believed that any one who splashed water on them would be drenched by a thunder- storm. These beliefs were especially strong when, after a man had tied his boat to the cypress tree and even committed the sacrilege of cutting off a limb, the region was visited by a particularly rainy season and the crops suffered greatly from the storms. Not only did the Indians revere natural beauty but they had temples to their gods and much in their religion bears a striking resemblance to our own. The greater part of the nations of Louisiana, including the Caddo Indians, had temples. In all these places of worship there was perpetual fire. The small, simple temples of the less powerful nations could have been mistaken for cabins had it not been for two wooden posts at the door. The door was a swinging one, but at each end there was a fragment of wood planted in the ground to prevent the children from entering the temple and playing there. The door was so heavy that only a strong man could lift it. There were always other distinguishing features, such as dishes and small eleva- tions where bodies were buried. All nations buried their dead in the earth or in tombs near the temple. To illustrate the similarity of the Indian ' s religion to other forms, one might mention the fact that the Atakopas believed that they came out of the sea and that a prophet inspired by the Great Spirit laid down the rules of conduct to their first ancestors (peres). They also believed that those who obeyed the author of all things by doing no evil would go above while the disobedient would descend into the earth in the shades. Other objects of worship in the religion of the Indian were the nine gods — the sun, fire, the gods of the east, the north, the south, and the west, and the gods of heaven and of earth. These are but a few of the many legends of the various tribes. Their languages, their customs, their stories are many and varied. It is to be hoped that before the story of the Indian is forgotten, there will be an interest and a love for his culture which will direct some to the preservation of his tradition. Many nations have evolved a high degree of civilization and culture which have been destroyed care- lessly by its successors. Let not this be our mistake. Tradition is a golden heritage and from the past we may learn to build a more glorious future. F28J r T AlV 3F A « tAf?U LaorfEa: [29] BOARD OF TRUSTEES CHAIRMAN Dr. John L.

Pomerok President Margaret Jordan Vice-President Blss Carcill Secretary and Treasurer HISTORY Four years ago a rather varied group of studenls entered Centenary College. There were country boys and others just out of city high schools. The girls were not so numerous or so varied as most of them came ' from Shreveport. The Soph- omores of that year set a record for right treatment of the poor, green Freshmen. The result was a growing intention in hearts of the timid subjects to be as helpful to the new ones next year as the Sophomores had been helpful to them. When we returned as Sophomores with the usual Sophomore complex, we lived up to the traditions of that class ' s obligations to the best of our ability. The girls caught the spirit and started the custom of letting the Frosh girls wear green ribbons so that the entire student body might know they were new and try to make them feel at home. It was with regret that we laid aside our Sophomore duties and became thoughtful Juniors. The Juniors ordinarily have the most to do. A Senior is too busy, the Soph- omore too occupied with Freshmen, the Freshmen too bewildered to be very active in school activities, so to the Juniors fall the heavy tasks. We were very thoughtful and conscientious in 1924-25. There were so many things that called us and it was a point of honor with us to answer as much as possible. At the close of the year, we awoke suddenly to the idea that we were the next Senior class. The Seniors have a hard time. The worry of losing all those credits and of what to do next year is very depressing. And, too, since it ' s the last year we have to crowd in all that we have missed during the other years. But all the study, the credit-counting and the last football games have been pleasant rather than unpleasant. Now, after four long years of waiting, we have arrived and are passing on. We, the Class of 1926, leave old Centenary with regrets and with the hope that we have added a little bit of good to the contributions of all those Senior Classes of years gone by.

[621 -n T 1631 OFFICERS OF THE JUNIOR CLASS OF 1926 Walter T. Colquitt President J. Clingman Munday Vice-President Hazel Smith Secretary and Treasurer HISTORY The Junior Class is unique. It is unique in the fact that its members have shared the same sorrows and the same joys of all those who have gone before. It has taken up the strain of a hundred years, added to it, and found it good. We are privileged to be with the College in its new growth. As Freshmen we were green. That greenness soon wore off, and as Sophomores we began to pierce the veil that surrounds the doings of college men and women. Our mem- bers took their places as leaders of the college. Their ex- ploits were manifested on the platform, on the athletic field, in the class room, in the pulpit and wherever the activities of a real college led. As Juniors we stand on the threshold of broader oppor- tunities. Some have left us to go to other places. The class is becoming smaller, but truer. The stone has been chipped and the polished outline is now making its appearance. Cen- tenary has become our home. We rejoice to have done our share. Our part has been almost played. Next year the cur- tain will ring down and we will slip away. But those that are to come will say: They have played their part; they have kept the faith. We rejoice to be this unique class of 1927.

T751 Work It is easy enough to build castles — Castles purely of nothing but air, But it is work with never a shirk That really lands you somewhere. We may talk ' til our tongues deaden And fancy we are moving on — Until we put our words into action, We have sung an empty song. We may dream and really fancy That we are due a position high, But the world wants genuine metal Give it — or you ' re left to sigh. Toil is the basic foundation; Persistence the key to fame. Too many words ne ' er have profited — It is work that wins the game! —A. Myatt Larche— ' 28. [761 [77 OFFICERS OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS OF 1926 William A. Robinson President Leon Scales Vice-President J. Mauree Davis Secretary and Treasurer HISTORY Proudly, in 1925, a class entered Centenary College as Freshmen of her One Hundredth Anniversary. Throughout the year they proved true and loyal to their class and to Dear Old Centenary. In all the college activities, the Freshmen gladly took active parts and rendered their support to every cause. They held their own in scholastic, athletic and social attainments. Thus this class ceased to be meek and became that sophis- ticated ruling body, called Sophomores. They held sway over the Freshmen and the College to which they have been ever true and faithful. The Sophomores bave entered into every undertaking of the College and have helped to put them over and make the school grow. Centenary is looking forward to tbe grandest class of all — the Class of ' 28 — whose love and admiration for the Alma Mater is greater than life and more lasting than eternity.

[84] 1851 OFFICERS OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS OF 1926 Theron Browne President Tom Wafer Vice-President Louise Mitchell Secretary and Treasurer HISTORY Freshmen, Freshmen, everywhere! We are now just a big bunch of Freshmen. It has been said that good things come in small bunches: It has also been said that there is an exception to every rule. Centenary Col- lege will testify that their Freshman class is the exception. This illustrious class was started with gusto, vim and pep; the school was and is proud of it. The Sophs, who deem them- selves our guardian angels, did not prove to be very angelic, — at times. Their ideas of making us prominent were not very heavenly. For instance, we were decided upon to represent the colors of the rainbow (that was a high and holy thought) at the Thanksgiving game. Oh those Sophs have wonderful ideas, they do! This illustrious class will continue as a Sophomore class to be a class of gusto, vim and pep — a class of which Cen- tenary College will be proud. And we now send out a fore- warning to the on-coming Freshman Class — Beware — Beware — See who the Sophomores are! — Margaret Holmes, ' 29. [86] Tom Wafer Arms L. Hanson Theron Browne Coushatta, La.

Sexton, President of Centenary College of Shreveport, met with some twenty-five or thirty young men of the city who were interested in pursuing the study of civil law, preparatory to passing the bar examination of the State of Louisi- ana. Dr. Sexton, in addressing the meeting, announced that Centenary would sponsor a law course to be conducted at night for the benefit of the business men and women who wished to take up the study of law. He stated that the institution of such a course, for the time being at least, would not come under the regular curriculum of the College, but would be a separate and distinct addition to its prescribed and catalogued courses and would be undertaken with the view of thus extending the use- fulness of the College. At the meeting mentioned definite plans were laid for the inaugura- tion of the course, and a class of twenty-five or more students was 1 en- rolled. Dr. Sexton presented to the class the man whom he had selected as instructor, Mr. L. P. Garrot, located attorney and lecturer on law sub- jects at Centenary College. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the members of the law class of Centenary College which thus had its beginning: That they recognize and acknowledge a debt of gratitude which they owe to Dr. George S. Sexton for his altruism in making possible this night resident school of law. That they unqualifiedly endorse Mr. L. P. Garrot as being a cap- able and practical instructor in the law and regard him as being pe- culiarly well fitted for this particular position. That as the first year of the prescribed course draws to a close they anticipate with confidence the successful completion of the program undertaken. That the Committee appointed to draft these resolutions send a copy to Dr. Sexton with the suggestion that the same be published in the Col- lege Annual, space permitting; that a copy be sent to Professor Garrot and a copy furnished the press. Offered and adopted at a regular meeting of the Law Class spon- sored by Centenary College held on April 28, 1926. Signed: R. H. Ferguson A. H. Meadows A. W. Miller R. G.

This organization pur- poses to encourage scholarship and promote harmony among the sorority women. As a means to this end the Pan-Hellenic Trophy is offered to the sorority making the highest scholastic average for the school year. Phi Omega won the Pan-Hellenic Trophy for 1925 with the other two sororities each averaging only a small fraction less than the winning sorority. Rivalry is quite keen this year; each sorority makes every effort to be the winner for 1926. All sororities must abide by a set of requirements that form the constitution of the council. Before a co- ed may be pledged, the person ' s name must be hi ought before the council for recognition. It is necessary for a student to have an average of eighty per cent and three months residence on the campus. Rules which govern the rushing of a student are strictly enforced, a penalty being imposed on a sorority when they are disobeyed. An annual tea is given by the Pan-Hellenic in order to sponsor friendship among the sororities and non- sorority women. This organization provides for a governor over the sororities and it has been successful in performing its mission on the campus. A stabilizing force is seen which keeps harmony among the co-eds of the College. [100] I PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL Mary Katherine Holder, Zeta Delia President Mary Francis Young.

MOREHEAD Director of Band Back of anything which nears the plane of an ideal, there is always some moving spirit which is responsible for the greatness of this movement. Many times, through preference, this spirit is not allowed to become prominent in a way other than in the resulting good works. This situation now exists with Mr. Morehead, the moving spirit, and the band a result of capable direction. The best manner in which to see the greatness of Professor Morehead is to review his work — the most efficient band that has ever broadcasted Centenary to the world. Our band director has a wonderful talent in music and those playing under his direction know his ability, which he displays in a modest and individual manner. The band members admire this ability and are closely attached to him because of his personality and individual touch. They all agree that he is an all round sport, and a man devoting his efforts to the cause of young men. Those having relation with Mr. Morehead do not hesitate to place full confidence in him. He has ac- complished his purpose on this campus. We believe that Centenary ' s band would be severely lack- ing if Mr. Dick Morehead, champion chess player of Shreveport, and cities in Mississippi, were allowed to sever relations with it. PROFESSOR F. S. MENDENHALL Director of Mens Glee Club and Women ' s Musical Club In Professor Mendenhall, Centenary possesses both an individual artist and a director fully efficient in producing glee clubs and musical organizations which will be credits to the college. Placing a men ' s and girls glee club, equipped with classical music and intense fun. before the music lovers of varying desires is no easy task. Mr. Mendenhall has won fame as a pipe organist and piano instructor. Coupling this natural musical ability with modern original- ity, we discover the secret of the best of glee clubs for this season. The members of both organizations have become more intimately acquainted with their director this season. His humorous manner in dealing with people is executed by means of wit and sarcasm, which have made many friends for him. Our music patrons are pleased with the glee club accomplishments and thai is only another way to say that Mr. Mendenhall has de- livered the notes. 12 ' CENTENARY COLLEGE BAND S D.

A good hand is constantly needed to hoost something and our hand has been fortunate in acquiring dates with organizations. It boosts other things, but at the same time Centenary is given credit for this boost. This season has been the most successfu ' of all for this organization. Besides performing in the city, its itinerary included the trip with the football team to Memphis, when the resulting en- thusiasm aided materially in defeating the Doctors. The Shreveport Chamber of Commerce used our band as its official musical organ for the fourth consecutive time on its annual Good-will Tour touching sixty one communities in three states. Accompanied by the Glee Club, the hand took its annual spring tour — giving concerts at Hall Summitt, Homer, Mansfield, Minden, Dubach, Ruston, Winnfield, Mer Rouge, and Bastrop. The home concert is awaited with eagerness by our city patrons. The record of the band has been most enviab ' e, and the future outlook is bright. It has successfully convinced many people that Centenary is a school where things are accomplished in great style. [126] MEN ' S GLEE CLUB F. S. Mendenhall Director James T.

Critics have passed on the result and unanimously agree that the program rendered will excel others. Even Mr. Mendenhall has admitted that it is a good club. Offering a varied program, rang- ing from classical music to intense fun, the glee club pleased pat- rons in Hall Summitt, Homer, Mansfield, Minden, Dubach, Ruston, Winnfield, Mer Kouge, and Bastrop. The home concert was most successful. [1271 QUARTET William Logan First Tenor Tom W. Bridges Second Tenor Robert E.

It occupies a prominent place on the glee club program. We shall miss Jimmie ' Harris and his bass cords next season. He has been the mainstay of the club this year, help- ing to work in new material. The other three members are fresh- men, so three more vears of harmony may be expected of them.

Khoury Associate Editor Dorothy Brown Associate Editor W. G. Banks, Jr Associate Editor Gertrude Marks Society Editor Hardee Eatman Sports Editor Nell Burgess Humor Editor Julia Kennedy • Art Editor The Centenary Conglomerate, in 1922 known as the Maroon and White, until 1926 known as the Centenary Conglomerate, a; weekly publication, has been very fortunate in having several members of its staff students with newspaper experi- ence. In 1922, when the Conglomerate started as a weekly, James Airey, a news- paper reporter, became managing editor, and A. V. Ball, Jr., who had been con- nected with a local advertising agency, became business manager. Mr. Ball re- signed at the end of the fall term in 1922, and Maurice Ellington replaced him as business manager. D. B. Binford was chief of the editorial staff during this time. In 1924, Mr. Ellington became editor and E. Malvin Thomason was chosen as business manager. It was decided, during the latter part of 1924, that the officers of the two publications at Centenary be chosen by a different method, consequently an elec- tion was held by the students and Mr. Hardee Eatman was elected editor, while Mr. Th omason was again elected business manager. Due to Mr. Eatman ' s resigna- tion from the staff the entire management was given to Mr. Thomason. During the period of 1924-1925, Centenary College experienced a period of rapid growth and the student paper kept pace with its Alma Mater. The past year, 1925-26, has seen the Conglomerate living up to its reputation as Louisiana ' s Livest College Newspaper, and with the addition of a larger staff the publication has made better progress and anticipates a bright future. It has been the policy of the present editor to always observe the rules and ethics of good journalism, also to avoid showing favoritism to any one group or faction on the campus. Editorial comment has been confined to questions bearing on the interests of the students and through the editorial columns the editor has consistently striven to promote the interests of the student body and to give ex- pression to student sentiments. As the term of 1925-26 draws to a close, the present editor bids farewell to his Alma Mater through the columna of the last issue of the Conglomerate for the season, and his parting words to the new editor are these: He who realizes the worth of a good idea is second only to him who begets it. — E.

[150J OUR NEW GYMNASIUM For several years Centenary College has felt an urgent need for a gymnasium and it has been granted in this great year of Centennial success at Centenary. When the citizens of Shreveport were called upon to help in the building program of our new athletic structure they were ready with their financial as well as their personal aid to do all that they could to help Centenary in this task. The Kiwanis Club of Shreveport sponsored the drive and it was through the members ' untiring efforts and wonderful hold on the people of the city that they were able to put over their mission. The finance program of the gymnasium was no easy task and the Kiwanis Club was the largest donor in the community. [is:? I -r;.v Daily the students of Centenary have been using their gift for exercise and are still showing visitors the new building of which they are justly proud. The new gymnasium was built during the Christmas holidays and was ready for the basketball game with Texas A. M. College, January 8. The Kiwanis Club was the guest of honor that eventful night. After a warm speech of presentation by Mr. B. F. Roberts and the acceptance by Dr. Geo. S. Sexton, the coach of the visiting team made a short talk in which he said that he was glad to have the honor of opening such a structure with his team. The new gymnasium is one of the largest posssesed by a southern school and is being equipped as rapidly as facilities permit. H541 •I COACH HOMER H. NORTON Athletic Director The smartest baseball coach in Louisiana and a very successful basketball and football coach well describes Coach Homer Norton, for the past five years coach and athletic director of Centenary College. Norton really seems to be at his best in baseball coaching work. Every Norton coached baseball team has won a large majority of its games. His basketball teams have been good ones, three of the five teams coached by him being winners in a majority of their games. Norton served as head football coach in 1921, and for the past four years he has been coaching the line. Centenary elevens have been especially known for their strong lines since he took up that part of the coaching work. The work of the 1925 line was excellent. Centenary wouldn ' t feel right il Norton were to leave. He couldn ' t be replaced. U55J EARL A. DAVIS Head Coach Coach Earl A. Davis really had a tough assignment when he took over the Centenary head football coaching job as successor to Bo McMillin. He did his work wonderfully well, and gave Centenary one of the best football teams it has ever had. The team was handicapped at the beginning because of the absence of many of last year ' s stars. The boys, under the able leadership of Davis, fought with the true Centenary spirit and the team had a very successful season. No Cen- tenary eleven ever had more fight and never-say-die spirit than did the 1925 team. The 1925 Centenary football record was just another triumph for Davis. With the exception of two years out of nine, his teams always have won a majority of their games. At Missouri Wesleyan, he won five straight M. I. A. A. championships while his 1924 McKendree eleven was winner in their conference championship. In Davis, Centenary has certainly found a capable man whom all the boys love and respect. Even greater things may be expected of him next year. [156] Jim Weaver Freshman Football Coach Jim was the smartest football player Cente- nary ever had. For three years he starred as end on Centenary ' s eleven, and in 1925 he took up his first coaching job as Centenary Freshman Foot- ball Coach. Jim ' s team didn ' t win all their games, but they were a scrappy eleven who gave a good account of themselves in every game played. Some of the boys that Jim coached are sure to make stars on next year ' s varsity. The Freshmen won three out of five games, but two of these were played against Junior col- leges; their record is, therefore, good for the first Freshman team to represent Centenary. Clyde Wafer Freshman Football and Basketball Coach Clyde Wafer is another Centenary athlete who starred on the Gentlemen Eleven for four years as tackle and three years as basketball center. His knowledge of line play gained him the job of coaching the Freshman line. Clyde also worked as Freshman basketball coach. In both capacities he served well. The line work of the Centenary Eleven was a feature of their play, while his basketball team proved to be a s crappy quintet who gave a good account of themselves in every game played. 1 1 1ST CHEER LEADERS Burney Howard. Cheer Leader, liss Myra Maude Wynn, Assistant Centenary College is justly proud of her cheer leaders. The work of both, and Howard in particular, is to be praised. The entire season was marked with pep and enthusiasm, which was instilled in the student body by Howard and Wynn. At Mem- phis, the old Centenary spirit was displayed in true form by loyal rooters, ably led by Burney Howard. The cheering section and the band completely submerged the efforts of the Tennessee Docs ' supporters. This season completes two years of successful cheer leading by Burney Howard.

Beam, C Quarterback Beverly Faulk Guard Jack Rhea, C End-Halfback Lloyd Clanton Halfback [161] I - tl0l!sr Coach Homer Norton Line Coach. Norton ' s great success as a line coach lies in his ability to instill fight and co-ordination in his lines- men. The 1925 Centenary line fought as a unit. There were no individual stars in the group. Proof of the greatness of the line is the fact that in the eight games played only four touchdowns were made hy opposing teams, and two of these four went through the line. The Centenary team of 1925 had a wonderful defense. Coach Earl Davis Backjleld Coach The work of the Centenary backfield was one of the bright features of the successful 1925 season. Coach Davis had charge of this part of the squad and surely did his work well. The large scores run up by the Centenary back- field were the result of his having charge of the of- fensive end of the game. His backs had the drive and f ight, acquitting themselves capably at all times. The Centenary backfield scored 173 points to their opponents ' 30. [162] Asa McDonnell Student Athletic. Manager Mack was indeed a capable athletic manager for the 1925-1926 Centenary Col- lege athletic teams. Before taking the managership of athletics, McDonnell previ- ously served in the athletic department as trainer. This practical experience gained him the honor of being selected student athletic manager. The Fort Worth lad was well liked by all the athletes and did his work well. Doc Race, Frank Boydston and Joe Lacy Football Trainers. Few football fans know the great aid given football teams by the trainers. These fellows must be at the practices every afternoon as well as the players. Thev keep the equipment in good shape and doctor the minor injuries of the players. The 1925 trainers of the football team were indeed a faithful group who had much to do with the success of the team. [163] CENTENARY 8 MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE Good toe work bv Sam York was largely responsible for Centenary ' s victory over the Mississippi College Choctaws in the opening game played at the Centenary Stadium. Neither team was able to cross the other ' s goal line, and York ' s two field goals and a safety were responsible for the Centenary victory. The game, played on a dark, cold day, was on this account, witnessed bv a small crowd. [164 J Captain Glenn Letteer, C Hal) back man o ' war Glenn is one of the fastest half-backs in southern collegiate football. A long rangy youth weighing two hundred pounds rather well describes the phy- sical makeup of Letteer. Unfortunately Glenn was kept out of most of the games, due to injuries, but whenever he played, he starred. He made a good captain because he was well liked by all the boys, besides having a good knowl- edge of football. Letteer will be back next vear and will no doubt be one of the stars of the team, because he should be able to play more often. Jim Pierson, C, Right Guard Jim was the best guard Centenary has ever had. He starred in each of the four years played and Centenary is losing an excellent player when he graduates. Pierson was especially good at diag- nosing the enemy ' s plav. He said little but did much. During Letteer ' s absence from the games, Pier- son proved to be a very efficient captain who used his head at all times. 1651 lis .1 . a ...-JW BR fa. CENTENARY 20 HOWARD PAYNE Entering the game against the strong Howard Pavne eleven with great fight, the Gentlemen won a more decisive victory over the Yellow-jackets than did the 1924 team, the score being 20-0 as compared with 20-10 the year before. In the game the Centenary eleven really came into its own, their ability being rather uncertain heretofore. The game was played on a hot, sultry day. A large crowd was present. [166] Paul Rebsamen, C, Center reb Paul was troubled throughout the season with a trick knee, but played most of the games. He was the backbone of the team, it seemed, for as soon as he was placed in a game the tide would change for Centenary. Rebsamen proved to be efficient in breaking up forward passes and was himself a very accurate passer. He has had the trick knee operated upon and we expect him to be in fine shape next year. He will serve as captain and will no doubt play even better football. Percy Wood, C, Left Tackle Percy really came into his own as a football player this year. He didn ' t have much chance to show last year, but this year played every minute of the season and each of these minutes was tough on the opposing teams. Few plays ran over his tackle and he was easily the star of the Centenary line. He will be back next year and will no doubt be even better if such a thing be possible. [167 CENTENARY 38 UNION UNIVERSITY Never having a chance to win, the Union University team proved no match for the Gentlemen, who played excellently throughout the contest. Every sub was played before the game was over. The Centenary backs made long gains, while the work of the line was indeed praiseworthy. 11681 Emmett Meadows, C, Center Meadows ' regular position was at center, but he proved to be a good player at either guard or tackle. Emmett served his third year on the team in the 1925 season and his ability as player in dif- ferent positions was displayed throughout the sea- son. Zollie Zuppke Bennett, C Center- and Guard Bennett proved to be a very valuable man this vear, the third of his Centenary football career. He made good at either the center or guard posi- tion whenever used. His offensive work was especially praiseworthy because of his ability to open holes in the enemy ' s line. 1691 CENTENARY 83 ROLLINS COLLEGE Truly great did the Gentlemen look in their run-away victory over the Rollins College eleven by an 83-0 score. The Florida boys, who were handicapped by injuries and tired from a long road trip, were out-classed by the Gentlemen in every phase of the game. Every Centenary backfield man scored touchdowns in running up this record score. 1170] y Sam York, C, Left End brentz Sam has few equals in the art of place kicking. As a punter he did well, this feature of his work having much to do with the success of the Cen- tenary team. He played every minute of the Cen- tenary schedule and his knowledge of the game helped on various occasions. It is sad to say, but York will play no more foot- hall at Centenary for he has played his four years. It will be a hard matter to replace Brentz for such men as he are not found everywhere. Sam ' s football record can be justly summarized by saying that Sam played the game well. Ernest Kepke, C, Right End rac Kepke made his first letter at Centenary this year. He made a good record as end on the de- fensive and was a very hard tackier. Kepke is the only regular end who is to come back next year and much is expected of him. M% 11711 CENTENARY COLLEGE 7 TENNESSEE DOCTORS The Gentlemen partly avenged two previous defeats given the Centenary elevens by the Tennessee Doctors when they won a 7-0 victory from them on their own field. The game was a hard-fought affair played on a muddy field. Harry White ' s twenty-five yard run proved to be the onlv touchdown of the game. The Gentlemen played their best defensive game of the season. The game was witnessed by the band and many Shreveport fans. [172] Walter Stewart, C, Tackle Jigger Jigger, the big boy from Texas, served his first year on the Centenary eleven this year, and proved himself to be an efficient defensive tackle. Walter could always be counted on to stop plays coming his way. He should prove to be an even better man next year. Clyde Faulk, C Guard Clyde made his first letter this year, proving to be a scrappy player who fought his hardest at all times. Faulk proved to be a very good offensive man who should make a fine showing next year. ES 11731 ( CENTENARY COLLEGE 17 CENTRAL TEACHERS 7 Before a large crowd at the State Fair Grounds, the Gentlemen won their sixth straight victory, defeating the Central Teachers by a 17-7 score. The touchdown of the Oklahomans, the first made on the Gentlemen thus far in the 1925 campaign, was the result of a forward pass. The Teach- ers proved very consistent throughout the game in their forward passes. Centenary ' s scores were made by Letteer and Beam, who carried the ball for touchdowns, and by York who kicked a field goal. The game was played on a wet field. 1174] s ; ..z 1 - Harry White, C, whitey White was the successful broken field runner of the team. He shared the punting honors with York. On many occasions White proved effective at stiff-arming. Harry was one of the outstanding stars of the Centenary-Doctor ' s game. This is White ' s last vear on the Centenary squad and his loss will surely be felt next season. Albert Beam, C, Quarterback Ab Ab, the little fellow from the Blue Grass Re- gion, ' proved to be a smart quarterback for a first year man. Beam served well as a ball carrier and could always be depended upon to gain necessary yardage. As a returner of punts he also showed great ability. [175] CENTENARY COLLEGE BUTLER UNIVERSITY 9 Butler University, whom the Gentlemen defeated 9-7 in 1924, broke the winning streak of the Centenary eleven when in a hard fought battle they defeated the Shreveport school by a close 9-0 score. The Gentlemen fought a game battle, but penalties and the Georgia Tech shift used by the Indiana team proved to be the cause of the defeat. Stone and Beam starred for Centenary while Nipper, who kicked the field goal, and Northam, who scored the touchdown for Butler, were the bright lights for the victors. [176] Hiram Lawrence. C, Halfback red Red, while serving his third year on the team, proved to be a scrappy little half-back, especially good at the interference running end of the pig- skin game. Lawrence also proved to be depend- able when the enemy started an aerial attack. f m , f. Jack Rhea, C, Halfback Jack, although a very small man, was one of the teams hardest tacklers. Rhea did his best in every game and could always be counted on to put his small weight against the enemy ' s line. This is Jack ' s first letter. [177] CENTENARY COLLEGE TULANE UNIVERSITY 14 The mightiest Green Wave in Tulane ' s history, conqueror of North- western and the equal of Missouri, won the Turkey Day game from Centenary by a 14-0 score. A crowd of ten thousand witnessed the battle, which proved to be one of the hardest ever given the Tulane eleven. The Gentlemen looked good in defeat and fought the football battle of their lives. They went down, but they went down fighting. Fumbles and one penalty hurt the Gentlemen ' s chances of winning. They held the mighty Tulane eleven to one touchdown until the last minute of play when a pass from Lautenschlaeger to Wilson made the second score for the winners. [178] Wayne Stone, C, Fullback stoner Stone played his best football for Centenary this year. He led the team in gaining of yardage and was the best line plunger of the group. Stoner met all the opponent ' s plays on the line of scrimmage, proving to be a power on the de- fense also. Otto Duckworth, C, Guard Otto was one of the hardest workers on the team and played well when used at either guard or tackle. He will make a better man no doubt next year for hell sure be out there trying. [179] Files Biniqn, C, Left Guard dutch Dutch made his first letter in football this year. He proved to be a very efficient guard, who fought his hardest to win in each game played. Binion seldom left a game without a scarred face, which showed that he was making it hard on the enemy ' s offense. In the popularity contest, Dutch was elected as the best all-around athlete. This honor is backed by his being a threedetter man this year, besides his winning the Norris Trophy, a trophy awarded to the most valuable athlete of the College. Dutch will surely develop into one of the South ' s best guards. 1 180J 1926 FOOTBALL OUTLOOK Centenary ' s football prospects for 1926 are indeed bright. She will have her 1925 Freshman squad to draw from, something the 1925 team didn ' t have, and the fourteen letter-men who are expected to be back. The 1926 schedule is a very promising and exacting one. It is promising because of the prestige that can be gained through the win- ning of games over certain teams and exacting in that a good team will be necessary to earn prestige from these contests. The three South- western Conference games, with T. C. U., S. M. U., and Arkansas U., are no doubt the three hardest battles on the schedule and the winning of games over these elevens will certainly help Centenary in more ways than one. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1926 September 26 — Union University at Shreveport. October 2 — Texas Christian University at Fort Worth. October 9 — Southern Methodist University at Dallas. October 16 — Mississippi College at Shreveport. October 23 — Arkansas University at Fayetteville. October 30 — Central Teachers College at Shreveport. November 6 — Open. November 11 — Louisiana Polytechnic at Shreveport. November 20 — Millsaps College at Shreveport. Thanksgiving Day — Oglethorpe University at Shreveport. The squad will be coached by the same two capable men, Davis as Head Coach and Norton as Line Coach. Davis has become better ac- quainted with Centenary conditions, while Norton has no equal as a line coach in this section. As a result the coaching department should be able to get even more out of the men than was the case last year. At the beginning of the 1926 season the squad will be made up of about ten men from the 1925 Freshman team and the fourteen letter men of this year ' s team. From this experienced group of players. Cen- tenary is sure to have on the field a representative team of which no college would be ashamed. [181J Centenary ' s first Freshman football team was a scrappy aggrega- tion which gave a good account of itself in each game played. The Freshmen had a successful season for a total of three games were won out of five played. Two of the games were not played against Freshman teams but Junior College elevens. Some of the players developed on the team are sure to make valuable varsity men for next year. 1925 Freshman Results Centenary Centenary 20 Centenary 18 Centenary Centenary Co Burleson College 17 T.

McCain End [1831 THE GAME OF LIFE Bill Jones had been the shining star upon his college team; His tackling was ferocious and bucking was a dream. When husky William tucked the ball beneath his brawny arm, They had a special man to ring the ambulance alarm. Bill hit the line and ran the ends like 1 some mad bull amuck; Tbe other side would shiver when they saw him start to buck; And when a rival tackier tried to block his dashing pace, His first thought was a train of cars has waltzed across his face. Bill had the speed — Bill had the weight — the nerve to never yield; From goal to goal he whizzed along while fragments strewed the field — And there had been a standing bet, which no one tried to call, That he would gain his distance through a ten-foot granite wall. When he wound up his college course, each student ' s heart was sore; They wept to think that husky Bill would hit the line no more; Not so with William — in his dreams he saw the field of fame, Where he would buck to glory in the swirl of Life ' s big game. He tried to run the ends of life, when lo! with vicious toss A bill collector tackled him and threw him for a loss; And when he switched his course again and crashed into the line, The massive guard named Failure did a two-step on his spine. Bill tried to punt out of the rut, but ere he turned the trick Right tackle Competition tumbled through and blocked the kick; And when he tackled at Success in one long, vicious bound, The fullback Disappointment steered his features in the ground. But one day, when across the field of Fame the goal seemed dim, The wise old coach Experience came up and spoke to him, Old boy, he said, the main point now before vou win your bout Is keep on bucking Failure till you ' ve worn the lobster out. Cut out his work around the ends — go in there low and hard — Just put your eyes upon the goal and start there yard by yard; And more than all, when you are thrown or tumbled with a crack, Don ' t lie there whining; hustle up and keep on coming back. Keep coming back for all you ' ve got, and take it with a grin When Disappointment trips you up or Failure barks your shin. Keep on coming back and if at last you lose the game of Right, Let those that whipped you know at least, they too, have had a fight. Keep coming back; and though the world may romp across your spine, Let every game ' s end find you still upon the battling line. For when the one Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He marks — not that you won or lost — but how you played the Game. Such is alumnus Football on the white-chalk field of life: You find the bread line hard to buck, while sorrow crowns the strife; But in the fight for name and fame among the world-wide clan, There goes the victor sinks to naught before There goes a Man. — Grantland Rice. 1184] M85I 1926 BASKETBALL RESULTS Centenary College 45 Centenary College 39 Centenary College 25 Centenary College 27 Centenary College 41 Centenary College 32 Centenary College 24 Centenary College 13 Centenary College 18 Centenary College 15 Centenary College 21 Centenary College 9 Centenary College 27 Centenary College 27 Centenary College 50 Centenary College 23 Centenary College 16 Centenary College 29 Centenary College 39 Centenary College 43 Centenary. . . .

C, Center and Forward Frank is doubtless one of the best basketball players Centenary has ever had. For the third consecutive year he was high point man of the squad. No Centenary player plays harder than Boydston. He loves the game, and fights every second that he plays. He is really everything that a basketball player should be: a good passer, a line dribbler, and an accurate goal shooter. Boydston made an excellent captain. Well liked by all the boys, a strict observer of the training rules and a fighter with the true Centenary spirit, the Missouri lad was everything a leader should have been. A lbert Beam, C, Forward Ab wasn ' t one of the regular forwards, but he looked good on every occasion in which he was used. He is quick and for grace and ability to dribble, he surely was everything a basketball player should have been. Beam will be back in 1927 and should prove an even more valuable man. 1188] Hiram Lawrence. C, Forward red Red was one of the fastest forwards who has ever performed on a Centenary basketball team. Lawrence ' s speed enabled him often to get away from the enemy ' s defense and loop baskets before they realized just what had happened. His pass- work was also praiseworthy. Red will be back next year, and should prove to be one of the South ' s greatest basketball men. X Files Binion, C, Guard dutch {Captain elect) Dutch served well as guard in his second year of Centenary basketball. He was a good pass breaker and one of the hardest fighters on the team. Dutch will play his third year at Cen- tenary as Captain next year, and he is sure to make a good one. Well liked by all the boys and a player of the clean type of basketball, he is just the man for the captainship. 1K )|  ■ «•■ «- l Glenn Crawford, C, Center Glenn wasn ' t one of the regulars last year, but he showed such improvement this year that he was one of the stars of the team. He worked hard and faithfully at all times and his labors surely were not in vain. He is a lanky youth, but is fast on his feet and made quite a number of goals. He will be back next year and is sure to do even greater things. Percy Woods, C, Guard, Center Percy did not get to play much this year, but whenever used, he did his work in a pleasing and conscientious way. He will be back next year and we are counting on him for big things. [190] James Horton, C, Guard Jimmie played his last year for Centenary this season and he will surely be hard to replace next year. Better guards than he are just not found in Southern Collegiate basketball circles. Horton was truly the backbone of the Centenary defense. Unusually fast on his feet, he oft-times broke up passes that would have meant goals for the enemy. The Coushatta youth was a better goal shot than the average guard also. M Beverly Faulk. C, Guard Though small, Beverly proved to be a tower of strength at the guard position just the same. Whenever used, he had much to do with holding down the score of the enemy. He often outwitted larger men than himself in his guarding. He did exceptionally well for a first year man and is sure to prove a real star in the years to come.

Coach Norton was confronted with two glaring weaknesses in the club at the opening of the season. The club had no third baseman, and no experienced catcher. After trying various combinations, Norton came to the con- clusion that neither Crawford nor Connell would do for third base, hence Beam was shifted to third at which position he has played semi-pro ball, and Crawford sent to second. Connell was allowed to go to his first love, the outcrgardens. This new combination seems to have solved the infield problem for good, for the infield machine has certainly functioned properly the last few games. Out of a group of three inexperienced candidates for the catching berth, Coach selected Binion for the assignment and Dutch has done well. The schedule is by far the hardest any Centenary baseball team has ever faced. To win half of the games, Centenary will no doubt have to play better ball than has been played in seasons past. Lip to date the team has done this and has done well. In every game played the opponents have had a tough time. Errors at critical times and inability to hit in the pinches has no doubt been the trouble so far this season, for the pitching has been all that could have been asked for.

He has the necessary qualities of a third baseman in being able to field ground balls and to throw well. He is a good waiter as lead-off man and seldom hits at bad balls. He seems sure to have a most successful season. Beam is serving well as captain. He is well liked by all the boys and is everything that a cap- tain should be. V Files Bin ion. Catcher Dutch made his letter last year as an out- fielder, but when a catcher was needed this year he worked hard and has developed into a nice college receiver. No college catcher has any more fight than he, and with his encouraging words he is good at getting the hurlers to work their utmost. intend i m kNrtNAt. Sti M Poole Conn ell. Left Field Poole is one of the hardest hitters on the team and is a sure catch of a fly ball, so he is doing fine for his first year on the team. His base knocks have been timely so he has been responsible for a large per cent of the runs scored by the team. With two more years to play, Poole has a won- derful future as a college ball player. f PI Va Frank Boydston, Center Field Frank is serving his second year as a regular on the Centenary ball club and is doing a good job of it. He is a sure catch of a fly ball and has a wonderful arm, in fact he is everything a col- lege outfielder should be. Last year he was one of the leading hitters of the club and he has started well this season. Being fast and a good bunter he beats out many hits this way. ?% 1981 V V Walter Stewart, Pilcher Stewart is a big two-hundred pounder who is serving his first year as a hurler on the team. He has pitched some nice ball games, and with proper support would have won more of his starts than he has. He has a good assortment of curves and whenever his control is right, he is nearly unbeat- able. ■ Clarence Davis, Pitcher Jelly is serving his second year as a member of the hurling staff and has looked good in most every game he has worked. He has nice control, a fine change of pace which has proven a menace to the enemy batsman, and a nice free delivery. He should have a most successful season.   I 199] w m Elbert Bush, Shortstop For four years Elbert has been one of the best ball players on the team. Bush started out as an outfielder when he first came here some years back, but for the last two years he has played the shortstop position. He has done well and will be missed next year. He is a hard hitter to whom Coach Norton has given the clean-up place in the batting order. Lloyd Clanton, Right Field. Lloyd is serving his first year as a regular on the baseball team and doing a good job of it. He has worked hard and his labors have not been in vain. He could always catch a fly ball, but his hitting was rather questionable. Practice seems to have taught him to hit, for he is doing that, too, in the last few games played. TENAfiTV 1 200 J « ' ?« s Percy Woods, First Base Percy is proving to be one of the best first sackers in college circles in this section of the country, even though he is playing his first year on the Centenary College team. He is fielding gracefully and faultlessly and hitting well above the .300 mark. What more could be asked of any first sacker? Watch Percy, for he has all the qual- ities of a successful ball player. - •S - Glenn Crawford, Third Base and Pitcher Crawford, better known as Ham, is one of the most valuable men on the Centenary team. This boy is a wonder at playing different positions. Put him anywhere on the diamond except behind the bat and he will play a nice game of ball. He started out as an outfielder, but when pitchers were needed last year Crawford took up that end of the game and did well. This year, after being on third base, he has been shifted to second where he really seems to have found himself. He won his first start in the box hurling a nice game. 1201 FRESHMAN BASEBALL TEAM Coach Davis SQUAD Walter Little, C. F. Clarence Hamel, P. Fred Francis, R. F. Elliot Solero, C. F. David Herndon, F.

Through the untiring efforts of Mrs. Huckaby and the girls, the 1925 May Festival was a huge success and the Association promises to make each year better than the last so far as athletics for the girls is concerned. Another annual event of the Association is the Stunt Night, in which all classes and organizations par- ticipate. The trophy which is given for the best stunt was again awarded to the Zeta Delta Sorority. After meeting all requirements there were thirteen girls who lettered in athletics last year (1925). They were as follows: Doris Bush, Mary Katherine Holder, Libba Hudson, Alsie Lea, Mary Katherine Jones, Mrs. T. A. Brown, Lenora Waller, Monique Weldon, Dorothy Brown, Louise Davidson, Lota Lee Troy, Loryne Martin and Madeline Peyton. Each year there is a trophy, which is a Centenary blanket, given to the girl who is voted by the Association to have done more for it than any other. She must be one who takes part in all functions of the organization. The winner of the blanket for 1925 was Miss Doris Bush.

There was a complete reversal of form. Instead of the faculty and some dignified speaker the platform held various stage settings and all manner of strange people, ranging from wild Indians to a sweet blushing bride. Wi:hout this unusual group on the stage, a glance at the audience would have con- vinced even the skeptical that the unusual was ahout to take place. Imagine, if you can, that traditional back row and those habitual chapel cutters present ahead of time and sitting on the front row! Then add to this the presence of Jack Dog and you have the final proof of this change from the usual order. At last, the curtain rose amid stirring jazz music. The scene presented was a railroad station. A rather miscellaneous group of people, very evidently from the country were having great difficulty in imparting their business to the ticket agent. The ticket agent, in addition to being a dumb Freshman, was also deaf. After all the efforts the party missed the train and the only journey taken was across the railroad tracks. The next act was presented by the Sophomores. A very dramatic play was their offering. Even the women and children were able to follow this play as each char- acter explained his own actions. In the tragic conclusion when all the royal family are dying the audience was moved to tears. For the Junior offering, the curtain was raised only a part of the way up. The usual love story with the daring hero and the melodramatic villain was presented with only the pedal extremities of the actors visible. The final touch was the return of the young couple, one year after their thrilling elopement, with the fond husband pushing a baby carriage. The Phi Omega sorority presented a beautifully arranged act with appropriate music. While the young man sat dreaming in his arm chair his various sweethearts came tripping down memory lane. The first was his school girl sweetheart and so on through his youth until at last his lovely bride came to him. With the Franklins on the Podunk, Ltd., the audience saw the usual train passengers. The family of troublesome children, the parents and little baby riding f211 on the train for the first time, the deaf woman and the newly-weds were all present. After much difficulty, the train arrived safely in Shreveport. Union Literary Society presented a Screen Classic. Startling effects were pro- duced by the shadow-pictures. The climax was an operation by means of which all kinds and sorts of eating utensils were removed from the patient. The story of the Supreme Sacrifice was told in real Wild West style by the girls of the Y. W. C. A. In spite of the beautiful romance of Lady Claire and her hand- some hero, the sympathy of all was with the sweet little girl of the West who made the Supreme Sacrifice on the altar of love. In the next act, the Seniors gave their idea of lines ' promulgated by different boys. The Freshman talked so much that his girl only got a chance to say a hurried yes before the next one appeared. The Sophomore was so sure of his power to win that the girl could not wound his vanity by saying no. The Junior was rather thoughtful and secured her promise just before the fourth one made his entrance. But to this Senior she gave her real wholehearted yes and thereby crushed the love-sick hearts of the others. After these famous lines, the most famous of all, the clothes line, was raised into view. Girls of the Dormitory gave a little of what goes on in the Dormitory. At last the boys were given some idea of what the girls talked about when in their own private quarters. The final touch of realism was the arrival of the serenaders. Zeta Delta presented some pictures from the old family album, while the small daughter told of the exploits of each one. All was revealed by her even to the stingi- ness of the hardshelled preacher, Dr. Brince. The W. A. A. took a ride in a Herman Limousine. The car gave as much trouble as the proverbial old Ford. The final act was given by the Kappa Pi Sorority. They very aptly pantomimed a story. The action of the plot was carried out extremely literally as it was read. And the curtain fell! The expensive pint loving cup was awarded to the Zeta Delta Sorority by Mrs. Campbell. And so ended the second Stunt Night of the W. A. A. Christine Smith, ' 26.

The Louisiana Beta of Pi Kappa Delta debate and oratory fraternity was in- stalled in Centenary College, March 15, 1926, by Dr. J. T. Hazzard of Natchitoches. Six members were initiated and there are as many more eligible. After the installa- tion a banquet was given in honor of the occasion. For a century this college has produced men and women who have taken their places on the platform as followers of Demos ' henes. Many pulpits have been filled by Centenary men whose lives are as eloquent as their flow of speech. In the last five years, Centenary has won four first places and one second place in the annual state college oratorical contests. Nor has she excelled in oratory alone. The session of 1924-25 saw the beginning of debating on an intercollegiate scale. Certain members of the faculty arranged a schedule for the year and the students went to work. Robert M. Bozeman goes down on record as the best of the earlier debaters. He was a member of every debate team of that year and led his team to victory in every decision. The debating results of the two past years are as follows: Robert T. Bozeman and Bentley Sloane won the first debate of the year 1925, against the strong Hendrix College team. The second debate was a triumph for Centenary when Bozeman and Jack Frost defeated the team rep- resenting the Utah Agricultural College. The third debate was held at Lafayette, La., and again Centenary was victorious by a two to one decision. The debate was a mixed affair, and Bozeman had Miss Lenora Waller as his colleague. In November of the following year Bentley Sloane and W. G. Banks. Jr. were defeated by an unanimous decision by a strong team from IVlillsaps College of Mississippi. Our debaters really acted as substitutes for the two regularly appointed men. Frost and Larche, who were sick in bed a week before the contest. Sloane and Banks jumped into the breach and made a fine showing. Centenary held the next debate in December. Robert E. Goodrich, Jr., and Theron Brown defeated the strong team from Oklahoma University on the Mitchell plan for an aircraft department in the government. The third debate of the year was held in Conway, Arkansas, with Hendrix Col- lege. A. Myatt Larche and Edgar Dufrene won the decision and covered themselves with glory. Some weeks later these two debaters again mounted the platform for Centenary but lost the decision to Furman University of South Caro lina. One debate remains on the schedule. That is with Southwestern of Louisiana on the Aircraft question. Miss Bessie Renfro and Lonard Schuler will represent Centenary. Last year Miss Renfro represented the local college in the Women ' s state forensic- contest. This year the affair was held at Centenary and Miss Margaret Holmes won second place. In 1923, C. M. Cotton won first place for Centenary in the Mens State Oratorical Contest. The following year Bozeman took first honors, and James Horton held up the records of first place in the last meet. Sloane will represent the College this year. Sloane was also a delegate from the local chapter of Pi Kappa Delta to the national convention held in EsLes Park, Colorado. He was one of the two Louisiana delegates and managed to let them know that Centenary was doing things in the line of forensics. The Pi Kappa Delta keys will be awarded to the members at commencement time by the college. Centenary is looking forward to a bigger and better year in 1927 for debating and oratory.

The Senior Class of 1925 gave A Midsummer Night ' s Dream as its campus plav on the night of June 10, commencement week. Mr. Fowler and his orchestra of the First Methodist Church of the city and Mr. Mendenhall of the Music Department of the College furnished the Mendelssohn music. The lovely orchestra numbers were a tremendous help in creating the atmos- phere and the mood of the plav. Mayor Thomas allowed us the use of the woodland scenes which made the sides of the stage. The stage was built against the hill so that our own pines formed a natural background. The fairies could be seen far away among the trees as they came dancing down on to the stage. The electrician from the Little Theatre of the city, with his skillful lighting effects, made these fairy scenes very beautiful. The undertakers of the city gave us an abundant supply of grass cloth to cover our stage so that the mounds on which the lovers, the fairies, and the translated Bottom slept, were indeed grassv knolls. The costumes from the Fritz Schultz house of Chicago were complete and splendid in every detail. And although Mr. Clark was a bit nonplussed over the size of the bill for them, he was kind enough to say, after our presenta- tion, It wes worth the money. Mrs. Campbell coached the play, but everyone at the College helped to make it a success. Every member of the cast did his best and worked faith- fully that on the night of the performance there was no prompting, and some of the acting approached professional skill. The hard-handed men of Athens gained much applause, but every individual pari from Puck and the dancing tairies to the Duke of Athens, was interpreted with distinction. The College and the community seemed to agree that the Senior play of 1925 was a worthy contribution to the Ceiilennial Commencement Week Celebration.

They have three pledges that should have been known better and one good girl they will lose this year. This bunch has never done any good for their school and as far as scientists can see there is no reason for their continued existence. This sorority has practically been unheard of since its existence and bids fair to remain in that state until Gabriel blows his horn. KAPPA PI Strayed from the fold many years ago and has never been heard of since. This gang of flappers trv to cover their Oogi-hoo-hoo characteristics by being little ruffians with all of the boys and the way four or five of them gang one two hundred pound sheik is a fine example of their southern fighting blood. Their one attribute is noise and the fact that they still think they are as good as anyone else. It is a legal sorority supposedly and that accounts lor its continued existence. Katpa -pj ETA K,OT p t NU THETA KAPPA NU We heartily agree with the doctor, who said, all un- necessary adjuncts ought to be chloroformed. Through untiring efforts this bunch rose from darkness to stand among the real fraternities, but alas, their foot-hold slipped when they allowed Billy Pomerov and Jimmie Hyde to run at large instead of confining them to Pineville. Due to their inferior quality they have not been molested by carnivorous animals or birds of prey. Their number of pledges decreased this year due to low mentality and other precarious reasons. PHI OMEGA We beg the indulgence of the school for putting this write-up in the Yoncopin, the manager allowed them to put their picture in the fraternity section, so what can we do, see him. On the campus this gang goes unanimously by the name of Marriage Bureau, a perfectly good name. These ante-bellum shebas are composed of two old maids, three so called flappers, and a whole covey of hens and dumbells. The works are kept alive by unknown precedent and the faculty. Outside of the asseLs it is immaterial, irrelevant, non-essential and out of the question. £„ [2681 JratmtDlagy KAPPA ALPHA The Shreveport police are indeed careless, for they are to blame for this organization ' s existence on Cen- tenary campus. There is no reason for its survival save for the sole purpose of being a collection of Zoo speci- mens, country hicks, and other freaks of nature. There is only one man in the lot that is thought about enough to be cussed and he is Ben Brian. With the passage of this man we expect this group to do as the Arabs, slip into the night, unregretted, unseen, and unsung, Hokus, Pokus, Presto, Pronto, Vamos. PI KAPPA DELTA The only Honorary National on the hill, or is it only an ornery organization, we give up. It is a pity there is no legislation prohibiting the grouping this gang of embryo shyster lawyers, tin-horn politicians and menials in general. The school is indeed broad-minded to allow it. We hear that 141 is on the look-out for most of the members, therefore the school will soon be rid of them, we don ' t know the charges. If you ever have the opportunity to see this gang together don ' t miss the chance, for it is equal to a visit to any Zoo. SIGMA PHI Although we are speaking of fraternities, we wish to stay a minute to deal with this gang of outlaws. There is no record to show that this gang has ever been useful, or ornamental. It is the first in the evolution ol the barb into the fraternity man. Unless scholastic rules are abolished, we see only stormy seas ahead for this bunch. The only favorable thing that will happen to this gang this year is the passing of George Meadows. Our conception of this group is a large black splotch on a pure white background. Pi TtlCTA UPStLC PI THETA UPSILON Acknowledging the fact that they are responsible for Wayne Stone and Earl Looney, and realizing the blighted curse which they are burdened with, there is little to say. This bunch is so new they have been dubbed fresh paint. I sincerely believe they are a branch of the local painter ' s union. With the passing of Hugh McCool there is a faint ray of hope for them, and as Steve Brodie took a chance, whv not ' i Still water runs deep, but stagnant water? ? ? ?
