Ads ETHB YONCOPIN AGE A port within whose arms the tired ship may rest, Safe from the hidden rocks and reefs and the billows plumed crest. Quiet after the storm of youth and the struggle of the deep, The pilot folds the tattered sail and waits for sleep. Soft about the battered prow, the moonlit waters lap, As the soft, white eyelids of a child close in an evening nap. Gone the heartaches of all youth, the follies and the tears, For only age itself can teach the soothing power of years. A port where but in dreams one knows the dangers of the sea, So, said the man of years, Old age seems to me. But the youth replied, Life is indeed the sea, But age is not its blessing; thus it seems to me; A port within whose bounds the ship must rest, Weary, battered, worn and torn by the billows breaking crest. Quiet after the cruise of life and the glory of the deep, Gone the sound of the whistling wind and the sight of the watery sweep That raises high the sturdy prow toward the swollen heaven ' s grey, Gone the sound of the flapping sails and the taste of the salty spray. A port where one knows longing dreams and pangs of memory, As the empty shell on the harbor shores sings the song of the open sea. Work and rest; deeds and dreams; youth and age, the borderlands of day: One the dawning ' s flame-like red, the other evening ' s grey. Mary Louise Hussey.

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.

Chorus Like a wave the mighty city Surges ' round thy feet, Guide it, train it, teach it wisdom, Alma Mater, sweet. Chorus Green the boughs that rustle ' round thee, On thy stately crest; Greener is our memory of thee, Alma Mater, blest. Chorus Forward, forward, Centenary! Time and tide may fail; But our hearts shall love thee ever, Centenary — Hail ! 22 v v ' i THE CAMPUS UNDER COVER ARTS BUILDING MEN ' S DORMITORY L. . WOMAN ' S BUILDING HOME OF THE PRESIDENT THE GYMNASIUM FACULTY ROW THE AMPHITHEATRE THE YONCOPIN THE MODERN YOUTH J 2 )HAT sermons and sentiments they have aroused, what controve rsies t LJ in home, school, and church — this topic has been the subject for heated debate between conservative and radical. Constantly there comes a word of disapproval or criticism of the youth of the college world from some one who does not understand or appreciate the qualities beneath the strange new garb of a strange new age. Again there arises some champion of youth, some one who sees in the exuberance and energy of the boy and girl of today unlimited possibilities for great accomplishments. Is the critic of the new age a fogy so immersed in his own interests and his own creeds that he is unable to perceive the existence of true values in modern college life? Is he wholly the victim of prejudice and narrowness? Or is he correct? After all, is there any goal toward which the boy and girl of today are moving in their mad rush of life and activity? Is there anything definite and certain and unwavering in a world of constant revolution? Is the super-energy of our age being wasted in pleasure, or is it being directed to the ends of achievement? The question is considered continually, pro and con. Invariably men of progress come to the conclusion that the modern college world, like the modern world at large, isn ' t so bad after all, and that there is much in it which is worth while. In fact, the decision is so nearly unanimous that an interested investigator is likely to be influenced by the power of statistics and to remark with conviction, It must be so. And indeed, it must. Anyone who ap- proaches the question without bias and without the jealousy which age so often feels towards Youth is most likely to see that the modern boy and girl are worthy products of an age which plays hard, works hard, fights hard, an age in which energy finds outlet not only in riotous pleasure but also in highly specialized industry. The word efficient is applied to the modern world. It is neither the cold efficiency of a machine in which the quality of individuality is lacking nor the unwise effiicency of the practical man who disregards the element of personality, but rather the efficiency of living that marks the modern youth. He holds the creed that life was made for living and the worth while philosophy that work and pleasure, industry and relaxation, endeavor and recreation are but parts of a great whole. Perhaps there is less theology in modern life, but no one can deplore the substitution of good deeds for kind thoughts, and no one can regret the passing 31 THE YONCOPIN of a sys ' .em of theorizing in favor of a system of constructive living. Action and activity have taken the place of idle meditation. There is less time for men to think of themselves and their inner emotions. Science has invaded the realm of the metaphysical. Man is learning greater emotional control as he learns the causes and results of emotional experience. The pace of life is being accelerated by outward causes, and the man who keeps pace with his day must be alert and energetic. Is the college youth going to be able to step from the doors of his Alma Mater and help shoulder the world? Is his training adequate? Is he worthy? And the answer may be formulated in another question: What greater training could he have than life in college? For colleges are not isolated. They are little worlds in which the problems and perplexities of the outside world are reflected in miniature propoitions. They are cross sections of a great pattern. They are bays which branch oTf from the sea of life, protected from the greater storms of the deep but which hold the same waters and are drawn by the same suns. Colleges are not preparatory for life; they are life. So we too come to the conclusion that the college ' boy and girl have the possibilities, even the probabilities for great achievements. Theirs are the qualities of strong, fearless youth; theirs are attributes of unprejudiced, un- hampered living. In them lies the hope of humanity, and that hope, we believe, is well founded.

Clyde Wafer Vice-President Annie Ora Rice Secretary-! reasurer Fresh from the high school portals of the South there came to Centenary in 1923 a group of students wise in their own re lm but shackled and hedged in from the broad vistas of Collegiate and secular life. Green as the heralding sprigs of Spring after the first fresh dews of morning they were; in fact almost as green as those classes which preceded them. Horded, cajoled, tricked, b ' uffed by upper classmen and often tempted from the straight and narrow way, they made their way ' mid the babel of siren voices to plant at last their banners on the sandy shores of Sophland. ' Shades of the prison house closed around them as they grew in the wisdom of Sophomores. They lost the conceit of high school and gained the humility of col- lege. Dross was lost. They were tested. The dawn of a new day struck them full in the face. Slowly they were welded into a unit by common experiences. They became a class. When Juniors, they became college men and women. Alma Mater could not allow to walk alone the infant class that she had so carefully nursed. They paraded the halls of fame, their new fire was infused into the heaped-up logs of college op- portunity. They contributed athletes, musicians, debaters, orators and writers to the grand march of Old Centenary as she swung by the mile-post of a century to lean forward with eagerness toward a wider and smoother road. Gathered in the dim dusk of that closing year they swore anew the oath of allegiance to their Alma Mater, caught a fresh inspiration from, the retiring class and slipped away to fight the wilderness temptation of selfishness during the summer months. Today they have returned like the clans of Old Scotland in response to the messenger ' s flaming cross. Nobly they assumed the robes of Seniors. Some were lost among the quagmires of the world even as they traced their way back to the highlands of service. One has departed before his day to that bourn from which no traveler returns. The remaining band have girded anew their loins. They have stopped to recognize those struggling below. They are enamored with their work. Eagerly they approach the time when books will be laid aside, and with a sigh they will review the accomplishments of four years. Then they go; deeply grateful to those who have preserved the light of truth at whose feet they have reclined; and to the cross sections of student life where the priceless jewels of friendship have gleamed. In the brilliancy of graduation they will not forget. They will not betray that trust. Scattered among the nation ' s people they will blend their lives and forget themselves into immortality where they will some day gather around that mystic campus which is spiritual. For there ' s where we may turn and go Doivn paths of memory, Back to the land we used to know, The land of Used-to-Be. — Bentley Sloane, ' 27. 46 THE YONCOPIN Walter Thomas Colquitt, Jr. Shreveport, Louisiana Sigma Phi; Candidate for B.

Peck President Leon W. Scales Vice-President Mrs. T. A. Brown Secretary-Treasurer Class History In the fall of 1924, Centenary enrol led the largest Freshman class in its history; and, incidentally, it was the finest. This Freshman class soon caught the spirit of loyalty to dear old Centenary and never has it waned in their hearts and actions. The class came through the year with their share of honors. When the class became the Sophomores, it still upheld its record. Besides wreaking its vengance on the poor Freshman class of ' 25, it carried off honors in all campus activities. This year, the heroes of the football field and the belles of every social activity are claimed by our Junior Class. We have the very best in every line. For their outstanding work our class of ' 28 are entitled The Loyal Juniors. Some have their faults and failings, and of the clever kind, They cannot by their railings impress a thoughtful mind. The most of them are working in books, rare and queer, And few of them are shirking the bitter labors here. — Berta Wells Hammett, ' 28. 64 !THE ONCOPIN2 ESTELLEEN KlNCAID Shreveport, La.

Gordon Higginbotham President Theron Brown Vice-President Margaret Holmes Secretary Class History The duty and aim of the Sophomore Class is to help, instruct, and worry the Freshmen. We have done our duty and fulfilled our aim as the worthless frosh will most assuredly testify. As Freshmen, we ourselves were considered worthless frosh. We got all that was coming to us, and more. The treatment that we received instilled in our hearts a desire for revenge. Our tormenters had passed on, so we wreaked vengeance on the Class of ' 30 — so completely satisfied our lust for revenge that we will now leave our open field to these Frosh of 1930, who will, in their turn, seek to satisfy their desire for revenge. As a Sophomore Class we have done nothing spectacular, nothing to make us famed and feared sophs, but we have attempted to be a credit to Centenary College. We feel that we can sincerely say, Our Sophomore year has ended. We have not been perfect Sophomores, but we have contributed to Centenary College. We have learned to love it even more than we did as Freshmen, and we feel that there is nothing we would not do for our Alma Mater. Margaret Holmes, ' 29.

LIFE All over the lap of Nature, High up in the arms of God — In every living creature, Or even the golden-rod — Life — new life — is calling, Calling and praising Him, Over the rolling landscape, green — Down in the vale of Tempe — Life rushes amain Through every lane To open the hearts of many. 0, dome of heaven, clear and bright! Whence come thy rays of sparkling light, That make the world so pretty? That make a life so happy? Whence comes thy velvet wrap So soft and soothing green That clothes the worldly map, Where ' er the eye has seen? And whence comes life? Whither doth it go When into life Death doth sadly flow? Who thinks of life as death forever? Nay, life dies never. Death is life anew, uncold, Where soul meets soul, Where life steps to a higher plane With no distinction of rich or plain. —Julian M. Bemiss, ' 29. 84 THE YONCOPIN Freshman Class uxsm 85 mm ' THE YONCOPIN OFFICERS OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS William Trimble President Jerome Scanlon Vice-President Ida Mae C : x Secretary Class History We stood around in little groups trying to look inconspicuous, as the various members of the student body hailed us as the most likely haul of fish that the old Centennial school had made in many years. Liberal Professor Gleason, we remember, gave us his mentality examina- tions, and said that we were intellectually superior to any of the classes in recent years, particularly the class of ' 29. They are the present Sophomores, of course. It seems strange, too, for the Sophs looked terribly stern and dignified then. But we were green, and innocence is easy to delude. Painful memories, liberally sprinkled, however with poignant stabs of pleasure, come trooping today out of yesterday, to remind us of that tyrannical rule. We hope that we may be as just a class as were they; and as exacting. Freshman week was a great success, and the opportunity to inaugu- rate it at Centenary fell due to us. We can be defiant abotut that, at any rate. Without our presence the pre-college invitation would have been a flat failure. That is not an egotistical statement, either. In closing, we could do no better than quote the words of the histo- rian of the Class of ' 29: We, too, were once fresh and dumb. But we are the salt o ' the earth fnday. So, prospective fish, ' Beware, beware; look who the Sophomores are ' . — Douglas Price, ' 30. ■— ■ ii 86 «® THE VONPOPTN — William L. Yauger, Shreveport, La. Hattie Els, Shreveport, La.

D9 !THE VOlvnOPTIV - ' i ■■ BOXES I love boxes. They hold so many things — Books that press the hearts of men Between their leather covers; Chinese slippers in a fragrant box of brownish wood; On an Akron doorstep the crude frame ofan express box, Containing silver cymbals from Cathay, Boxes — a tiny velvet one that keeps the dew of an engagement ring; A painted one enclosing rare extracts from France; A scented one to hold a baby ' s comb and brush; A carved one encasing jewels from an Orient land; A wooden one protecting the first baseman ' s glove Of a kid in Evansville. A box! Within its arms it guards The follies and the foolishness of life; The hopes; The cobwebs of our dreams. Had not the wise men told us otherwise I ' d think the world was in a box Which God had made of love and tears And sealed with silver stars. — Mary Louise Hussey, ' 27. 100 101 !THE YONCOPIN Professor S. D. Morehead. Director of Band The success of the Band which has been ever increasing for the last four years can be attributed to two things: first, the wonderful musical talent of Mr. Morehead, and, second, his strong personality. Every member of the Band admires the ability of the director as a musician and likes him as a director and a friend. Mr. Morehead has spent much of his time and untiring effort with the Band and he has certainly reaped results. He always seems to enjoy working with the Band as much as any of the boys, and it has been a real pleasure for them all. Mr. Morehead is a leader in everything he undertakes, whether it be Band work, chess, or golf. He has the rare ability to adjust himself to the situation at hand. In the class room he is the professor; outside he is a friend and adviser; on a trip he is just one of the Boys. A good sport, too. He is ready for anything you can suggest and will probably come out on the winning end of any kind of game. It is generally understood that Mr. Morehead is the spirit of the band and that without him there would be no band. James Hyde Business Manager Jim has filled his position as Manager of the Band and Glee Club very faithfu ' ly. He was always on the job. He was a good sport and was popular with all the boys. His untiring efforts made the road trips indeed pleasant for the members of the organizations. Professor Francis Wheeler Director of Glee Club Just like everything else Mr. Wheeler has had anything to do with, the Glee Club has made great strides this year. It has been increased to about twice the size of last year ' s club and has achieved success everywhere it has sung. Mr. Wheeler took charge of thirty boys who knew very little about the art of singing and molded them into a smoothly working unit. Ilis complete knowledge of music and his wonderful ability to direct are the chief factors of his success. He is well liked by everyone in school and especially those who have been under his direction. The wonderful development of the music department within the last year is the result of the efforts of Mr. Wheeler. The prospects are bright for the clubs next year and they must necessarily continue to improve as long as they are under his leadership. 103 ft ' THE YONCOPIN CENTENARY COLLEGE BAND A real credit to any college. Our Band, under the direction of Prof. S. D. Morehead, has certainly been most successful this year. It is classed without a single doubt among the best bands of all the Southern colleges and universities. It is one of the most faithful organizations on the campus, having begi ' n practice a week before school started in the fall in order to be in shape for the first football game and having kept it up throughout the year. Everywhere the Band has been it has been highly praised both for its ability to furnish good music and for the conduct of its members. Among the trips it has made are: To Lake Charles port opening; to Dallas for the S. M. U. game; io Fort Worth for the T. C. U. game; and on the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce Good Will Tour. The Band has also rendered several difficult overtures, marches and the campus swings in a number of towns in Louisiana and Texas on the Annual Spring Tour of the Band and Glee Club. Twenty boys made up the membership; of the Band and every one of them plays h ' s instrument well. The chief reason for the wondenlul Band we have is the director. Prof. Morehead. He has snent much of his time and ene ' gy in wo r king with the boys and deserves much praise. The College would certainly feel the absence of Mr. Morehead and the Band. THE YONCOPIN MEN ' S GLEE CLUB Francis Wheeler Director Robert Torrens Accompanist James E. Hyde Business Manager The Glee Club boasted thirty-two members this year, the largest club the College ever had. Professor Wheeler worked diligently with the boys, many of whom were inexperienced, and per- fected a wonderful club which ranked among the best in the State. Concerts were given together with the band in Belcher, Mansfield, Atlanta (Texas), Ruston, Mer Rouge, Monroe and Shreve- port. This is the first year Professor Wheeler had directed the club, and he has certainly done well with the material with which he had to work.

With a great variety of popular, comical, and old-time melodies, the quartet has sung its way into the hearts of the students and all others who have heard them. It was one of the features on the Band and Glee Club program, accompanied the band on the Chamber of Commerce Good Will Tour and filled dozens of other short engagements. Because of the willingness of the boys to sing, they have had more invitations than they could fill. A specialty was made of singing at banquets. Three of the boys are to be graduated this year and their harmony will be missed, especially by the girls in the dormitory, whom they serenaded rather often. PERSONNEL J.

All the members are quite talented and it is remarkable how well they can play after such a short period of organization. The orchestra was a feature on all the Band and Glee Club Concerts, furnished music for the Hi-Y Minstrel, accompanied the Band on the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce annual good will tour, and played on various other occasions. This is an added feature to the musical side of the College, and it is certainly making itself known to the outside world as well as to the students.

ITHE YONCOPIN PI KAPPA DELTA— (Continued) Pi Kappa Delta is a national forensic society with a membership of some one hundred and twenty-five chapters. Due to the efforts of Dr. S. A. Steger Dr. A. Salathe, and other members of the faculty the Cen- tenary debating council was transformed into the Louisiana Beta chap- ter of this national society in March, 1926. Since then the local chapter has grown until it now has a membership of five faculty members and eleven students. In the Spring of 1926, Bentley Sloane attended the sixth national convention of Pi Kappa Delta held at Estes Park, Colorado. During the last year the society has assumed all responsibility for forensic activities on the campus and has put Centenary in the public speaking world as never before. The College has undertaken the great- est debate program in its history, which includes eleven inter-collegiate contests with some of the South ' s most outstanding universities. On the campus this year two oratorical contests of first magnitude were held. It was Centenary ' s year for the State Peace Contest, and also the com- mittee at Nashville selecte d our College to be the scene, and Dr. S. A. Steger, the regional director of a regional meet for the South-wide Know the South oratorical contest sponsored by the Nashville Banner. Before the term was out the chapter initiated six new members to whom keys were presented at Commencement time. Next year the society will again take the lead in all forensic activities and will endeavor to maintain the fast pace formerly set by Centenary debaters and orators.

A. Myatt Larche, the former president was largely respon- sible for the success of the Y this year. Without a doubt Larche was one of the best leaders that the Y has ever had because he had the work at heart and rendered his untiring effort toward mak- ing the Y worthwhile. Last Spring just before school was out the Cabinet had a re- treat at beautiful Camp Lassa, where the work was outlined for the year. One of the outstanding features which was planned was that of helping initiate the Freshmen of 1927. Arrangements were made for meeting the Freshmen at the various trains and bringing them out to the College. Orientation night then came, the purpose of which was to aid the Freshmen in getting acquainted with the older members of the student body. This was -held in the chapel and was in the form of a mock initiation. Several free picture shows were sponsored by the Y during the year. The Centenary Y is recognized as one of the outstanding Col- lege Y ' s in the South. Mr. Leon Scales has been elected as the new president for next year. YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Y. W. C. A. has been more active this year than ever be- fore. The girls have shown great interest and enthusiasm and have worked hard to make their programs interesting, wholesome, and helpful. A good attendance has been the result of the efforts of the Y girls. Their program given in Chapel was unusually entertaining. The Y. W. C. A. deeply regrets that Mary Katherine Jones will not be with them next year as she is graduating. Her con- scientious, faithful work as president for two years will be price- less to the girls of next year. 120 As - THE!

With increased interest on the part of both staff and students, it took its place high among college papers. In a college publication contest conducted by the University of Illinois, the Conglomerate received a distinguished rating. The success of the paper from the viewpoint of literary make-up was due to the untiring efforts of the editor, W. G. Banks; and the financial success of the pub- lication was made possible by the astute judgment of the business staff. The Conglomerate chose for its editorial policy the pub lication of important news not only in local circles but also in other colleges; the preservation of the best traditions of Centenary; the pruning away of dead timber; the emphasizing of cer- tain phases of school life more or less neglected in the past. The achievement of the Conglomerate is especially noteworthy in that the building up of a college paper is a task so great that few people outside the staff really appreciate the attendant difficulties. The Conglomerate was a real force for unifying and developing college spirit. First Row — Overdyke, Bridges, Yauger, Spaulding, Robinson, Tucker, Grant, Smith, Bemiss.

GAME BEATING THE HOUSE DOWN, BUT NOT OUT HOLIDAY UP IN THE AIR HOME AGAIN PLAY BALL A BLOW UP MADE TO ORDER STYLE ONE CASUALTY CHANGES HEY-HEY! WE HAVE WITH US ACQUISITIONS (By Arthur Whangbrain) (Copyright, 1927, by My Stars Co.) Armistice Day will see the end of the temporary cessation of hostilities called year be- fore last when the L. P. I. Bull Dogs and the Centenary Gentlemen failed to meet. The Centenary team will be fight- ing for more than a single victory. They will go into bat- tle to keep a trust left to them by former teams. The veteran quarterback Psychology is slated to appear and it is hoped that he will wear the fancy head gear of the Gen- tlemen. The strategy by which some of our fellow students hope to beat the house at a local racing track reminds us that there is always a catch. Do you remember when you read those alluring magazine ads which promised you a fine steel engraving of George Washington for ten cents? And do you remember that after you sent five two-cent stamps you received one of them in return? It was, is, and will be so. prove to the appreciative audi- ences that you eally can ' t keep a good man down. One of the most interesting events of the passing week was the holiday in honor of George (Washington, not Rey- nolds). School was dispensed with, as it were, the most of us mooned about wondering what we could do if every day was a holiday. Some of us be- gin to see an advantage in going to college, after all. As a time killer, it certainly runs a close second to Big Ben. The members of the Tech basketball team have their heads more than six feet in the air, but baseball season opens soon. The band and glee club re- turned recently from a tour that took them places where they saw, sang, and conquered. Queies as to whether the trip was enjoyed by all are an- swered by a broad grin and ' Oh, Boy! So we guess so. Baseball season has opened! With much enthusiasm and lots of bad weather, of course. Anyway, there ' s a big squad out, and there ' s a lot of pej in the pepper games, and we are scheduled to beat L. S. U. for a good start, and every- thing ought to be right. One of our various and sun- dry professors, who holds his classes in the room in front of which the ice cream wagon parks with much aplomb and ringing of bells, announced that he wished some one would put dynamite under the wheels. We are afraid that our daily vanT, chocolate, and black- walnut would be all shot to pieces. Red Blackshear, Howard In respect to the fact that Boazman, Tom Bridges, Em- sping is here and that in the mett Meadows, and Arthur spring a young man ' s fancy is himself have done much to supposed to have a very defi- nite course, benches have been placed around the campus. They are located appropriately under the pines where the moon — pardon us — the sunlight will weave its way romantic- ally through the branches. There was both class and style to the show staged by the future Zeta Tau Alphas at the Strand this week. In addition to losing two games on the baseball trip last week, the squad suffered an- other tragedy. It is authen- tically reported that one of our diamond stars had heart trouble because a certain res- taurant employed such pretty waitresses. The former haunt of the Dir- ty Dozen has been converted into a Yoncopin office and where once there was heard the sound of furniture fights, there now sounds forth the even tap-tap of busy type- writers. It is just about time for the annual May Day to be pre- sented with its melodious sing- ing, graceful dancing, etc. We are looking forward to seeing the girls trip the light fantas- tic on the local stage. We are glad to number among those present a new Mr. Cline. The philosophy class respectfully submitted Immanuel Kant Cline as an appropriate cognomen, but we understand that the paternal Cline has vetoed the sugges- tion on the ground that when his son does talk, he wishes to be able to understand him. Our varsity teams gave L. P. I. a couple of games -to agonize over last week-end. Mr. Franklin Allday cried to carry off first base when he came home; he ' d been there so much that he thought it be- longed to him. 142 143 THE YONCOPIN COACH HOMER H. NORTON „ i 14S [THE YONCOPIN! HOMER H. NORTON, Head Coach The reason that Centenary can produce a team of fighting Gen- tlemen square enough to play the game fairly and skilled enough to win the S. I. A. A. conference title is that back of the Gentlemen to direct them and with the Gentlemen to lead them is Coach Homer Norton. Norton ' s own record as a player proves his knowledge of the game and his record as a coach proves his ability to direct. His fine spirit of determination supplements his skill and makes him the ideal director for Centenary. With a wealih of new material for next season and the value of new experience, Coach Norton is expected to raise the Maroon and White followers an even more brilliant record. GEORGE D. HOY, Assistant Coach Coach George Hoy came to Centenary not as a stranger but as a football man well known in local athletics. He brought with him not only the skill which gained him a reputation as an athlete at Nebraska but also a spirit of interest in Centenary. He did all that his well wishers expected of him and more, for he developed a fast and aggressive back field for the varsity team and he estab- lished a new spirit of friendliness between Centenary and Shreve- port High. 146 THE YONCOPIN COACH GEORGE D. HOY 147 !THE YONCOPIN! CHEER LEADERS Isabelle Henderson Harold Bango gcrdon hlgginbotham More pep and enthusiasm has been displayed in the cheering section this year at Centenary than ever before due to the efficient leadership of our cheer leaders, Hiekey, Dutch and Bango. Messrs. Higginbotham and Bango came to us from Louisiana State University, but they immediately caught the spirit of Old Centen- ary, and, together with Miss Henderson, who came to us from Cor- sicana, Texas, High School, kept each game full of life and helped to cheer our Gents to victory. They not only led the cheering squad, but they entertained the spectators many times with their tumbling acts and other interesting features. 148 1THE YONCOPIN Football 149 THE YONCOPIN FOOTBALL RESULTS— 1926 Centenary College 47 Union University 7 At Shreveport, Louisiana, September 25 Centenary College 14 Texas Christian University 24 At Fort Worth, Texas, October 2 Centenary College Southern Methodist University 37 At Dallas, Texas, October 8 ' Centenary College 28 Mississippi College 14 At Shreveport, Louisiana, October 16 Centenary College 7 Arkansas University 33 At Fayetteville, Arkansas, October 23 Centenary College 14 Oklahoma Teachers ' College 10 At Shreveport, Louisiana (State Fair Grounds), October 30 Centenary College 7 Louisiana Polytechnic Institute At Shreveport, Louisiana, November 11 Centenary College 34 Millsaps College At Shreveport, Louisiana, November 20 Centenary College 56 Oglethorpe University 7 At Shreveport, Louisiana, November 25 150 [THE YONCOPIN!

Assistant Business Manager ' Mack was a real conservative he ' per, who did his work with ease due to the fact that he has lived with atretics ever since he has been at Centenary. He was trainer in 1923-24, and manager in 1925. Frank Boydston, Business Manager Frank ' s interest and attention made him a good business manager. All pre- arrangemenls before a trip were successfully handed by him, and the convenience that the teams enjoyed on the road was made possible by his efforts. In previous years Frank served as trainer. Clyde Wafer, Line Coach Through four years of experience as a p ' ayer, Clyde was exceedingly capable of coaching the line and used his ability skilfully. Wafer was well liked by all the boys though he worked them hard. Papa Hughes and Unk Marsalis, Trainers No one but the boys themselves know how much good the trainers do. The squad cou ' d not have played a game without the attention of the trainers. Papa and Unk were always ready and wi ' ling to do what they could for the Gents and it was their aid and earnest efforts that made the boys so successful throughout the year. 152 SStt THE YONCOPIN Paul Rebsamen, C , Center Despite being troubled quite a bit with his knee, Reb made an even greater showing this year than ever before. There is no doubt but that Reb was one of the best Centers in the South. He was one of the most competent captains that the Gents have ever had. He used his wonderful skill and knowledge of the game in guiding his team to victory in five of the eight games played. Paul was largely responsible for our gaining the S. I. A. A. championship. Captain Rebsamen was the outstanding star of the Maroon and White in the defense, and he was also a valuable man in the offense. It is easily seen why Reb was chosen as the All-Conference Center. Centenary grieves that this was his last year on the team, and we realize that it will indeed be hard to replace him. Files Binion, C , Left Guard Dutch Dutch was the magnificent guard this year that he was last. He is a hard fighter and knows the game. One glance at him any time during the entire season would show that he put all he had into the game, for he always came out with scratched face and hands. Because of Dutch ' s skill and ability he was chosen as alternate-captain for 1927. We feel confident that he will put all of his fight into next year ' s squad and make 1927 one of the banner years for the Gents. Clarence Davis, C , Tackle Jelly Jelly made his second letter in football this year. He was an active tackle taking part in all the games. He was elected as alternate-captain of the 1927 varsity squad and will serve in that capacity next fall. m smt i sm 153 THE YOTVnOPTTV—- CENTENARY COLLEGE 47 UNION UNIVERSITY 7 Team work by the entire Cententary eleven was responsible for the Gentlemen ' s victory over the Union University Bulldogs in the opening game played at the Cemenary Stadium. The visitors, although they held the Gentlemen scoreless during the first, were fighting with their backs to the wall from the very start. Every member of Centenary ' s team shared in the glory of the day, and it was a hard matter to pick out the outstanding stars. A great start showed the real fighting spirit of the Gents. jmtm m fafsm 154 m ■THE YONCOPIN Ted Jeffries, C , Halfback Ted was one of the best defensive men on the squad. He tackles hard and is quick and keen; very few plays were made that he was not in. He made a very aggressive half and should make a better one next year. Albert Beam, C , Quarterback Ab Ab was one of the smartest quarterbacks that ever played with the Gents. He had perfect judgment no matter how tight the score would be. Beam not only ran the team with skill, but was a good ground gainer as well. He fought hard until the whistle blew. Ab will be missed more by Charlie Smith who played so well with him as quarterback. But every one grieves to know that he will graduate this year and will not get to play any more at Centenary. A game and clever quarterback, a hard and square player, his place will be hard to fill. Charles Smith, C , Quarterback Charlie Charles, the right-hand man of Beam, has made a wonderful record his first year on the varsity squad. He is a smart quarterback, and another praiseworthy record of Smith ' s is that he kicked eight consecutive place-kicks after touchdowns in the Oglethorpe game. We know that Charlie is going to deliver the goods next year. Wiley Blackshear, C, Fullback Fritz Fritz was a hard hitter and usually nailed the man he hit. He proved to be a very valuable fullback and worked hard in every game he played. Much is expected of Blackshear on ihe 1927 squad. ■WW ••■Hi 155 THE YONCOPIN CENTENARY COLLEGE 14, TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY 24 It was a hard game to lose. After out-playing the Horned Frogs the entire first half and scoring fourteen points to their seven, the tide changed. Shortly after the last quarter began, Centenary started toward the goal line and made several first downs, but a fumble after a twenty-yard run fell snugly into the arms of an opposing ha fback who ran seventy yards down the side ' ine for a touchdown. CENTENARY COLLEGE 0— SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY 37 The Gents were successful in holding the S. M. U. aggregation in check throughout the first half. The Mustangs, however, possessed powerful reserve strength, and battered the home squad relentlessly during the last two periods. The Gentlemen fought hard throughout only to emerge with the short end of a 37-0 score. tesS i t . ... s ■. • ■ i Ltmrn 156 Htf sthe yoncopin: W ' f Jack Rhea, C, Halfback Although Jack was kept out of many games on account of an injured knee, he was a very helpful man in the games he played. His work as halfback showed skill and hard work. Franklin Allday, C, Halfback bear Bear, serving his first year on the varsity, showed as a scrappy little half- back. He is one of the best travelers Centenary has ever had. Give him the ball and half a chance and it is almost certain that he will score. We expect Bear to make a great showing next season. Audie Marsalis, C, Halfback frenchie Frenchie was the biggest dare-devil on the squad this year. Marsalis worked hard and conscientiously and proved himse ' f an efficient backfielder. We are expecting great things from the Cajun next year. Glenn Letteer, C, Halfback man-of-war Man-of-War was the fastest man on the squad this year. He made many spectacular plays and covered more ground in the shortest length of time than any member of the team. Unfortunately Glenn was kept out of several of the games due to his physical condition, but when he was in the game he did his bit. Letteer knew the game and played it exceedingly well. He was one of the best halfbacks that Centenary has ever had. He was very efficient and skillful in his playing. Man-of-War was a valuable man. and he will be hard to replace. mw ««■ ■ w w w a .uiW H !THE YONCOPIN aw n— i jwmiui CENTENARY COLLEGE 28 MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 14 The Gents scored almost at will in the opening quarters of play, during which a total of twenty-eight points were made. The Choctaws realized that no headway could be made through the Gent ' s line, and then opened their aerial attack, which was largely responsible for their two touchdowns. Sev- eral long runs by Smith and Letteer, together with the good work of the line plainly exhibited the superiority of the. home team. m ' i num— i tfroa MSZ amna. 158 THE YQNCOPIN Clarence Hamel, C, Right End susie Susie Hamel, one of the oM home-town boys, played in every game of the season and because of his brilliant work, he was picked as All-Conference End. Susie and Charlie Smith certainly thrilled the spectators with the trick play that won the Oklahoma Teachers ' game. Centenary is justly proud of Clarence. He was a good man either in the line or in the backfield. His toe was very valuable to the Gents, besides his effective work at end. Clyde Faulk, C, Guard big faulk Clyde made a fine showing as guard and was a mighty good man on the offen- sive. He was a hard fighter and few men went through the line by him. Ernest Kepke, C, Left End Ernest Kepke, the smiling lad from Texas, did his bit toward winning victories for the Gents this year. Kepke held down the position of Left End on the squad, and he did a good job of it, too. Kip had the interest of his old Alma Mater at heart, and he did everything in his power to keep defeat from her door. We regret very much that this may be Kepke ' s last year on the team, because he served well. Zollie Bennett, C, Center A ' though disabled quite a bit of the season, Zollie remained faithful to his tecm-mates and fought a good fight while in the gcmes. He was a good man at Center and also as Guard. His offensive work was especially good, and he was able to make many holes in the enemy ' s line. Zollie was a worth-while man to the Gents. WW ewwa aum 159 THE YONCOPIN P CENTENARY COLLEGE 6— ARKANSAS UNIVERSITY 33 When the referee ' s whisfe hlew for the kick-cff s ' x of the varsity ' s regulars were on the side lines because of injuries. In a sea of mud and constant rain the Gents played well the first half although they held the small end of a 13 to 6 score. The six points were made by a sensa- tional eighty-yard run by Letteer from kick-off, just following Arkansas ' first touchdown, which was made by picking up a fumble in mid-fie ' d by a Razorback end. Captain Rebsamen played a wonderful game rgainst his former h ' gh school chum, Cap- tain Bozeman. It happened that these two boys went through high school together, and on their college teams they were both captains and played center position. CENTENARY COLLEGE 14— OKLAHOMA STATE TEACHERS 10 Before a large crowd at the State Fair Grounds, the Gents again defeated the strong Oklahoma Teachers by the score of 14-10. One of the great achievements of the season was the startling fake play, based on a supposed place kick which proved to be a forward pass. Smith to Hamel. Deamond Roach and his followers, together with the fans, could scarcely realize that their seemingly sure victory had been turned into a defeat. Great head-work in tight places in this game plainly revea ' ed the earnest work of the coaches. WW 160 I THE ONCOPIN Marvin Phillips, C, Guard rinky Rinky served his first year on the varsity squad this year. As guard, he filled the position well, and we are expecting Rinky to share in many victories next year. Glenn Crawford, C, End ham There was not a man on the team who worked harder than Ham did this year; neither was there a man who was more sincere or conscientious. Crawford made a very excellent end. Lloyd Clanton, C, End clanton This is Clanton ' s first year to letter in football. He played well and was always eager to get in the thickest of the fray. Graduation bars him from the gridiron next fall. Marshall May, C, Tackle dummy Although this was Dummy ' s first year on the team, he proved his worth as a football man on the defense, and he is also an aggressive player on the offense. He was not only a skilled player, but he also possesses the fighting spirit and a de- termination to win regardless of odds. As he graduates this year, Dummy will be greatly missed from the 1927 squad. ■ « W 161 «THE YONCOPIN! CENTENARY COLLEGE 7 ' LOUISIANA TECH Centenary, by a margin of seven points, defeated its old rival here Ar- mistice Day. The 7,000 fans saw the Gentlemen play as brainy a game of football as was ever played in this part of the country. A well planned hidden ball play was responsible for Letteer ' s fifty-five yard run around left end. Only once did the Bulldogs really come in close scoring distance. We can truly say that Tech fought a good fight and went down in defeat bravely, but when we think of the Gents, we say with pride that it was a glori- ous victory. - tr ' ■ 162 THE ONCOPIN E. A. Meadows. C, Center Tackle big meadows Meadows served his last year on the team as center, guard, and tackle. This proved his versatility as a real football man. He was efficient in all three positions. Walter Stewart, C, Tackle jigger Jigger was a hard-hitting, hard fighting tackle, active in every line of play. This was his last season in Centenary football and the second season that he has lettered. Otto Duckworth, C, Guard, Tackle duck Otto was a hard worker and played the game as either guard or tackle. He has the old fight and should be a valuable man next year. Leon Price, C, Tackle two-gun Two-Gun was a very valuab ' e man as tackle this year. He was a hard fighter and very few men got through h ' m. Price is expected lo be one of the most cap- able men of the f927 squad and we are sure that he won ' t disappoint us, because he is possessed of the o ' d fighting spirit. 163 — m TTTR YONCOPINS aw CENTENARY COLLEGE 34 MILLSAPS COLLEGE . The small and light team from Jackson was no match for Centenary. In all departments of the game the Gents excelled. Beam, Allday, and Letteer were consistent in long runs, while Blackshear and Jefferies ripped yardage through the line. The outstanding feature of the game was Centenary ' s holding the Majors for eight consecutive downs on the one-yard line. In that three or four minute skirmish Hamel on right end stopped four of the visitors ' plays. CENTENARY COLLEGE 56 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY 7 In spite of the dark clouds and the threatening weather, a holiday crowd conservatively estimated at 7,000 saw the Gentlemen reach the height of their glory. Oglethorpe, conquerors of Georgia Tech, scored their first and only touchdown during the first quarter, and then Cen- tenary started on their spree to be stopped only by the referee ' s whistle. A total of fifty-six points was made, which helps to show what an excellent brand of football was shown by the home squad. w m 164 — THK YONdOPINgr—JT 1927 FOOTBALL OUTLOOK It seems as though football at Centenary next fall will be booming. Al- ready the roster has on it the names of over seventy eligible athletes, and each of them has already made up his mind that he is going to make matters hard for the other fellow to beat him out of a place on the varsity. During the spring training season, the skill and ability of the newcomers were shown to the public in a real regulation game, in which all except letter men took a part. Already the supporters of the team have picked out their man who will surely star next fall. Whenever anyone talks to the coaching staff about its next fall ' s football club, you can easily read their mind and write it down that they are very optimistic, and waiting for the season to come around to justify their op- timism. Next season ' s schedule is without doubt the hardest that Centenary has ever had: Four games in the Southwestern Conference with S. M. U., T. C. U., Baylor, and Rice, and five in the S. I. A. A. with Millsaps, Southern Univer- sity, Birmingham Southern, Louisiana Tech, and the University of Louisville. Such a schedule needs no explanation; it needs to be won and the spirit that is being evidenced around the Campus, especially by the football men, leads us to believe that next year we shall have the greatest team in the history of Centenary.

He showed great skill as a director by developing a team of Junior Gent ' emen who played a hard sched e without defeat. In basket ball and base ball as well as the major college sport, Parker pro- duced well trained, hard-fighting teams. Especially valuable was his work as a trainer of future varsity men. Ernest Zechiedrich, Captain Freshman Football Team Jug served as fullback and captain for the Freshman team and filled both positions with great ability. He was a skillful player and an efficient field general. Football fans will watch him as a candidate for greater honors on the varsity squad next season. Red Lawrence, Assistant Freshman Coach When Centenary was disappointed in its effort to have Red declared eligible b ' e for play this year, we were partially appeased by his opportunity to assist in the coaching of the Junior Gentlemen. He showed that he had lost none of his understanding or love of ihe game. During the practices and during the game Red gave his earnest support to his team. cam 166 amwrnr w ww—o ww THE YONCOPIN FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD Coach Curtis Parker Assistant Coach Hiram Lawrence SQUAD (L-lettered) Herbert Reeves (L) End Morris Jarrott (L End William Storer (L) Tackle Willie Pearce (L) Tackle B.

They won their entire schedule, against very capable teams such as South Park Junior College from Beaumont, 13 to 7, Louisiana Tech Freshmen, 13 to 0, and Burleson Junior College 14 to 7. The latter won the championship in the Texas Junior College Conference. The work of Coach Parker is greatly responsible for the success of the Freshman team. Being a hustler and a fighter to the finish himself, he instilled the same spirit in his own boys, who did not know what defeat meant. The varsity coaching staff is justly proud of the first year men for two reasons; first, they furnished the competition for the varsity to practice against, and second, they will constitute a wealth of high class ma- terial for the coming season. SM8 mam 168 mtm THE YONCOPIN Basket Ball 169 :the yoncopin REVIEW OF 1927 BASKET BALL SEASON When a basket ball team had only eight days of practice before its first game, due to unavoidable circumstances, and then plays eight games in eleven nights, five of them on the road, there is plenty of evi- dence and proof that several defeats will result. Such was the fate of Centenary ' s basketball team of 1927. Coach Hoy did not join the team until the day of its first game, having been absent on account of illness. However, he worked hard and earnestly with the team during the few days of practice in between games. There is always a time in some branch of sport when every thing seems to go wrong, and it seemed as though the 1927 basketball team at Centenary was a victim of such circumstances. 1927 BASKETBALL RESULTS Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary Centenary College.

For the fourth consecutive year he has starred. No Cen- tenary player plays harder than Boydston. He loves the game, and fights every second that he plays. He is really everything a basketball player should be, a good passer, a fine dribbler, and a splendid goal shooter. Frank gets his sheepskin in June, and will be missed greatly from the ranks next year. Glenn Crawford. C Glenn was again one of the stars of the team. He is one of the hardest workers; and one of the most faithful at all times. He was good at tipping the ball at center and equally as good when it came to short shots under the basket. His loss to the team will be greatly felt next year. Beverley Faulk, C B. C. or Napoleon as he was known to his teammates was the midget of the team, but that was no handicap to him. He could hold his own with any opponent. Being fast and alert which offset his small- ness of stature he was all over the ball court doing excellent guard work and slipping a few baskets through the net. Faulk is to be back next year. Lorenz Teer, C The Teer brothers are certainly good when it comes to being good basketball players. Lorenz made a very excellent guard and was a hard fighter and played the game well. He will also be with us next year. i4 M} ■tfW sm 17] THE YONCOPIN V1 ■■-•••:• Charles Smith, C Smith made a splendid showing in basketball his first year on the varsity. His efficiency is unquestioned, and his speed enabled him often to make baskets or prevent his opponents from making them. He was chosen as skipper for the 1928 basketball squad. Leon Scales, C Leon, a tall and lanky athlete has much promise to make a good basket ball player. This season he did not get to play in many of the games because of not having much experience on the court, but next year he will be ready to go. Sheldon Teer, C Sheldon was one of the good men that came from the Freshman of 1926. This season he displayed his excellent ability as forward. Teer was a hard fighter and never gave up the fight until the wh istle blew. Poole Connell, C To see Poole handle a basketball it would seem that he had been brought up with one. In any game he was always good for a few points and his height was a great asset to the team. He could play any position on the court, and will be a great help to next year ' s team. 172 THE YONCOPIN FRESHMAN BASKET BALL Coach Curtis Parker Ernest Zechiedrich Center SQUAD Fred Willis Center B.

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 some mad bull amuck; The 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 had 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 you 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 whitechalked 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. 174 YONCOPIN g 1 — — « i Baseball !THE YONCOPIN 1926 BASEBALL RESULTS Centenary College 5 Centenary College 7 Centenary College 3 Centenary College 3 Centenary College 3 Centenary College 4 Centenary College Centenary College 4 Centenary College 2 Centenary College 2 Centenary College 7 Centenary College 6 Centenary College 9 Centenary College 3 Centenary College 3 Centenary College 1 Centenary College 6 Centenary College 7 Games won 9- Arkansas University 3 Arkansas University 4 Rice Institute 2 Rice Institute 11 Louisiana Polytechnic Institute 7 Louisiana Polytechnic Institute 8 Texas University 7 Texas University 6 Texas Christian University 1 Texas Christian University 10 Southern Methodist University 6 Southern Methodist University 3 Louisiana Polytechnic Institute 2 Louisiana Polytechnic Institute 4 Texas A.

First the two pitching aces, Stewart and Davis, have proved their ability in years here-to-fore, and Two-Gun Price of last year ' s Junior Gents has an unlim- ited assortment of stuff. The catching staff, Binion and May, constitute a pair of aggressive and fast thinking athletes. The infield from third on around, namely, Lindsey, Smith, Allday, and Crawford, have shown in the exhibition games that they can deliver the goods, or in other words go get ' em in all directions. Smith and Allday form a lightning double play combination around second. In the outfield Beam in left, Boydston, center and Connell in right, have been snatching fly balls in a graceful manner. Clanton, as utility outfielder has more than proved his value by delivering in the pinches as a real slugger. Duckworih, Hughes, Scales, and Meyers are other hard working men who strive conscientiously for the team ' s suc- cess. In actual battle the Gents have come from behind several times to win the game, and with this spirit, linked together with the flawless coaching of Coach Norton, only the worst kind of luck can spoil a successful year. 176 THE YONCOPIN VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM Poole Connell, C Outfield Leon Scales Outfield Frank Hughes .

CENTENARY COLLEGE LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY 2 With Jigger Stewart allowing only five scattered hits and the fielders play- ing jam-up ball, the Gentlemen defeated L. S. U. in the first encounter of athletic teams from the two schools in a long period. On the offense, Beam starred with four hits out of five times at bat, and Lindsey poled out a long homer and a dou- ble. Grevenburg, the Tiger ace pitched for the visiting team. CENTENARY COLLEGE 5 LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY 3 it looked as though the University boys were going to win the final game as they were leading the Gents by a three to two margin up to the eighth inning, and Smith was hurling air tight ball. Clanton and Price were sent in as pinch hit- ters in the eighth and each came through with a long three bagger. When the smoke had cleared away the home boys had scored three runs and had cinched the game. It was a thriller from start to finish, featured by fast fielding on both sides. CENTENARY COLLEGE MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 10 In this game the Gents were at the mercy of the Choctaw ' s pitcher, getting only two hits which came late in the game. Stewart, pitching for Centenary al- lowed ten hits, which netted six earned runs. Long hits for extra bases were partly responsible for the opponent ' s ten scores. Nothing can be said about the team, only it failed to hit and it seemed to be playing in hard luck that day. 178 JTHE lONCOPIN c !ii Frank Boydston, Outfield C Frank is playing his third and last season as a regular on the Centenary team. His won- derful throwing arm and his good judgment on fly balls as well as his hard hitting have made him conspicuous in the team ' s play. Frank is serving as co-captain with Glenn Crawford. Glenn Crawford, C First Base This year, as in other seasons, Ham ' s versatility has been a great aid to the team. How- ever, Ham has been allowed to remain in one position much longer than usual, and he has shown up especially well. He is a fast and graceful first-sacker, covering a large territory in a faultless manner. Albert Beam, C Outfield This season closes the fourth year of successful baseball playing for Ab. Beam cannot be appraised too highly, because he is worthy. He is a heavy, consistent hitter and a versatile fielder. Marshall May, C Catcher In aiding Dutch with the work behind the bat, Dummy has always been ready and eager to do his share toward winning ball games for Centenary and he has contributed some good work toward the cause. Files Binion, C Catcher Dutch ' s fighting spirit and his good judgment have done wonders in steadying the pitch ing staff and keeping team play at its highest pitch. He knows his pitchers and he works hard to get their best efforts. He never lets down in the fight, but plays hard and encourages his team mates. Mi 179 THE YONCOPIN CENTENARY COLLEGE 5 MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 2 The previous day ' s luck changed and the second game of the two game series resulted in a victory for the Gentlemen. Davis pitched su- perb ball and his teammates gave him a lead of five runs in the early stage of the game. At no time was he in any great danger, he had good control, struck cut six men, and walked only one. Allday was the hitting star of the game, his triple in the fifth being responsible for four of the runs. CENTENARY COLLEGE 6 . MILLS APS COLLEGE 11 Occasionally a ball team has what they call an off day, when they can ' t hit, field or even throw a ball. Such was the case in the first game with Millsaps. The Centenary pitchers (all of them together) gave up fifteen hits, while their teammates were booting and throwing the ball around for a grand total of fourteen errors. But never-the-less, there was one player who could boast of his playing. It was Poole Tinsley Shorts Connell, who in the right field had seven put-outs, one assist and no errors. Allday got his usual triple. CENTENARY COLLEGE 16 MILLSAPS COLLEGE 3 The Gents scored almost at will, starting the game by making three tallies. Stewart was in good form and held the visitors to seven scattered hits. Errors by the Majors helped the Centenary team to score in six out of the nine innings. Millsaps used four pitchers but were unable to check the hitters of the opposition. Good base running on the part of the Gentlemen was the sensational feature of the game. 180 =THE YONCOPIN — Lloyd Clanton, C Outfield This is Lloyd ' s second season to letter in baseball. His fie ' ding is greatly improved, and his hitting has also become better. His pinch hit in the second L. S. U. game came fat the psychological moment and thrilled every Maroon and White rooter. Charlie Smith, C Short Stop Charlie has been the fieMing star of the infield. He has started numerous double playis, acted as pivot in others, and ' grabbed ' em out of the air or out of the dust with equal ease. As in the other major sports, he is a consistent and a brilliant player. Franklin Allday, C Second Base Just to prove He ' s a Bear at baseball, Allday got nine consecutive hits in ten trips to the plate in the first two games with L. P. I., and made several seemingly impossible plays in the field to quote the sport writer of another town. Allday ' s speed has been a great help to the team in base running as well as in fielding. Leon Scales Catcher Leon went out for outfieM last year, but this season he was shifted to the catching staff. Illness has kept him away from practice part of the t ' me, but he has worked hard and faith- fully and will be watched next year as a candidate for baseball honors. Clarence Davis, C Pitcher In spite of illness that kept Jelly out of spring training, he has begun the season in good form. His win over Mississippi College was especially well pitched. In addition to his ability as a pitcher, he is a hard hitter. ■ ' (. ) r 1 131 —THE YONCOPIN CENTENARY COLLEGE 12 MILLSAPS COLLEGE 6 Centenary made a clean sweep of the series with Millsaps by hitting hard and timely wallops. Clarence Jelly Davis pitched for the Gen- tlemen and was touched for hits only in the first, third, and fifth innings. In the seventh inning after two men were out, Binion ' s single broke a deadlock with the Majors and paved the way for a Centenary victory. After that the Majors were easy and a total of twelve runs were made against them. CENTENARY COLLEGE 10 LOUISIANA TECH 4 Featured by Allday ' s hitting, which was five hits out of five times up, and Two-Gun Price ' s excellent pitching the Gents won with ease the first of the two games played at Ruston. In the first inning Centenary made three runs and two hits on Tech ' s errors. The former scored in nearly every inning of the contest, and the pitching of Zinn did not baffle the Gents as they gathered together in nine innings fourteen hits. All the members of the Centenary team played like a bunch of veterans, several good catches and plays being made. CENTENARY COLLEGE 16 LOUISIANA TECH 8 It was not until the seventh inning that Centenary awoke and real- ized that they were trailing in an eight to three score. But it was not long before heavy artillery began to change matters. Crawford and Binion beat out bunts and the next dozen or so batters smacked the pellet to all corners of the lot, in fact two of the drives off the bats of Lindsey and Connell went out of the lot, each time there being two runners on the bases. Connell and Allday each got two hits in this inning. A total of seventeen men faced three Tech pit chers during this hectic frame, and at last Lefty Boss finally got the boys out, after they had scored thir- teen runs and made ten hits, four of them doubles, two homers, and the rest singles. In this game every man in the line-up got a safe hit. Cen- tenary used two pitchers, Stewart and Davis. rri warn 0 m 182 [THE YONCOPIN v v v V E TMA« | C0TENAJJ: un£lAfc-ii TEMj))? Walter Stewart, C Jigger is one of the letter men of last year ' s team. Around him Norton has built his pitching staff. He opened the season with a win over Louisiana State University and has chalked up other victories since then. Poole Connell, C Outfield Poole has been the hardest hitter on the squad this year as his record of three triples in one game will show. As his hits are also timely he has been responsive for a large percentage of the runs scored. Leon Price, C Pitcher Two-Gun has served well both as a relief pitcher and in starting games. He has quite a bit ot speed. In baseball as in football his aggressive spirit and determination have bleen a great help to the team. His pitching in the first L. S. LI. game was of a high order. Alfred Lindsey, C Third Base Although Lindsey was a newcomer in Centenary baseball, he found a place waiting for him; and he has filled it admirably. He fields well; he hits hard; and he plays a heads-up game all the way. Playmate is a good find for Centenary. Frank Hughes First Base Papa ' s imitations of Mo ' head and the train are both well known and in baseball prac- tice he has exhibited the energy of the famous pitcher and the speed of the train. He is known also for his eagerness and willingness to work in any game. 183 THE YONCOPIN CENTENARY COLLEGE 16 LOUISIANA TECH. 3 Davis again scored an easy victory over the Bulldogs. This game was featured hy the all-round playing of each and everyone of the Gentlemen: Allday, Beam, Connell, Binion, and Davis each getting two hits. Dutch Binion started the scoring in the fourth inning when he, the first man up, hit a long drive over the center fielder ' s head for four hases. True to form his team-mates kept up the rally and before the inning was over six runners had crossed the home plate. Again, the Tech pitchers were at the mercy of the slugging Gentlemen. In the last three innings seven more tallies were added, while the Bulldogs were held at bay by Jelly Davis ' masterful pitching. CENTENARY COLLEGE 1 1 LOUISIANA TECH. 5 The last game of the series siarted out with Tech scoring in the first frame, and again in the third. This lead was rubbed out after the fifth and sixth innings when seven runs were made. Price started the game and was pitching an excellent brand of ball until the sixth when he was injured and had lo be relieved by Stewart, who could not find the plate. After walking lour men Crawford was placed on the mound and Papa Hughes was sent to first. During ihc next three innings Ham held the visitors scoreless, while his colleagues were making four more runs. The star performances of this game were a homer by Connell with two on and the stealing of home by Lindsey in the ninth inning. Beam also looked like a professional that day, stealing four bases, getting three hits, and snatching four fly balls in the outfield along with one assist. 184 THE YONCOPIN 1927 FRESHMAN BASEBALL SQUAD CURTIS PARKER, Coach Lucien Valentine.

For the first time in the history of the College, Centenary was rep- resented by a Track and Field team. Coached by George Hoy of Ne- braska fame, the inexperienced squad could not ask for any better man who knew the fundamentals in all departments of Track. However, unavoidable conditions, such as no track on the campus, a minimum amount of equipment, a late start and conflicts with base- ball kept the team from being in the class of winners. In two meets this year, one at Southwestern, and a dual meet at Louisiana State Normal, the team showed some prospects for next season, and with proper adjustments, the 1928 Track Team should fly their colors high. 190 THE YONCOPIN WOMAN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS Makgaret Holmes President Amy Lou Tatum Vice President Fxlen Moore Secretary Dell Brown Treasurer Fairy Lynn Brown Head of Volley Ball Mary Frances Young Head of Basket Ball Isabelle Henderson Head of Games and Hikes REVIEW OF THE SEASON Under the direction of Mrs. H. H. Huckaby, the Woman ' s Ath ' etic Association has greatly benefitted the girls of Centenary College. The girls have learned the necessity of a strong, healthy body. There has been more co-operation this year than ever before. The girls have attempted to aid Mrs. Huckaby, in making our W. A. A. one of the best to be found anywhere, and we feel as if our attempts have not been in vain. The Stunt Night, an annual affair was a great success, the best we have ever had, the stunts being unusually clever. The beautiful loving cup was again awarded to the Zeta Delta Sorority. Centenary letters are awarded each year to the girls having acquired the eighteen hundred points which are received for skating, hiking, tennis, and making the various teams. The girls that are working for letters are: Rie Geduldig, Martha Manheim, Ellen Montgomery, Ruth Car- lisle, Clara Tucker, Marjorie Moore, Isabelle Henderson, Julia Gunning, Isabella Dean, Amy Lou Tatum, Audrey Barr, Mary Davies, Margaret Ho]mes, Pauline Tilleux, and Zenobia McKinney. The contests are in Basket Ball, and Volley Ball. The games have been very exciting. The Sophomores won the Volley Ball and the games contest, and the Juniors were victorious in. Basket Ball. Interest in this Association has constantly increased, and it bids fair to increase even more. The Association is growing and becoming a feature of college life of which Centenary may well be proud.

The program included ex- periments in horticulture, thrilling tales of robber chiefs and murderers in lonely lighthouses, clever satire, and other dramatic what not and what of it. The Freshmen, in keeping with their tender young natures, presented the picture of the trials and problems of gardening as solved by two lovers of nature. The Sophomores offered, for the edification of the many small boys in the audience, the thrilling tale of The Robber Chief. The Juniors made their bid to the ranks of the Little Theatre by the dramatization of a lighthouse tragedy in which duty and service were rewarded by a foul death. Especially good was the realistic (but silent) weeping of the bereaved mother and daughter. That gem of all side-shows, The Human Piano, was displayed by the Seniors. Right this way, ladies and gents! The human piano played by Madame Paderewski! And sure nuff it was. The Y. W. C. A. infused a Biblical note into the entertainment by a spirited (we might almost say spiritual) enactment of the main scenes in the life of Mr. and Mrs. Samson. In spite of the illness of the hero, the Kappi Pi Sorority entertained the audience with a four-act drama. The charming members of the Chi Delta Sorority gave an equally attractive pantomime symbolizing their organization. All the beauty of Indian lore was in the colorful dramatization of the story of the Silver Water given by the Phi Omega Sorority. In a true spirit of See yourselves as others see you, the W. A. A. erected a magic box on the stage from which there emerged creatures strangely different from those who entered. The series of impersona 195 ™THE YONCOPINS tions was very clever and we nominate the following as an All-Star team: Mary Grace Lowry as Professor Harding. Ida Mae Cox as Burney Howard. Ellen Montgomery as Frosh Baker. Andrey Barr as Professor Wheeler. Irby Lea May as Papa Hughes. The Zeta Delta Sorority won the much coveted 18-karat Sn loving cup with a touching rendition of a ballad concerning the woes of Romeo and Juliet. The chorus was made up in such a manner that when it left-faced the audience had a picture of neatly dressed young gentle- men and when it right-faced they saw a bevy of elaborately costumed girls. This half-and-half condition was a source of great mystery and joy to the spectators. Beginning with the story of the meeting of Romeo and Juliet in a restaurant (where Romeo owed for what Juliet) the song continued through their life history and ended with a warning that balconies must be omitted in the erection of new dormitories at Centenary. Sure, a good time was had by all! MODEL 1927 GRANDMA My dear, when I was a girl your age, I thoroughly knew what cooking means, And great was the praise that my cuisine got — (By the way, will you open a tin of beans?)

The program featured a May Day legend interpreted by songs, dances, and pantomime. In the May Day story, Youth, in search for fit companions for life, comes to the court of the May Queen. The Queen answers her request by summoning Faith, Hope, and Charity. These com- panions are followed by Joy, Health, and Pleasure. Then Youth is allowed to view the different vocations of life and from those of business woman, artist, home maker, agriculturist, trained nurse, physical culture teacher, and school girl she chooses that of physi- cal teacher. Following the vocations comes Romance to heighten Youth ' s happiness. Truth and Beauty complete the train. When the companions of Youth are all present, the court cele- brates the inauguration of May by the winding of the May Pole. The Fete was given under the supervision of Mrs. H. H. Huckaby. Miss Genevieve Reed was crowned as May Queen, and Miss Audrey Barr took the role of Youth. Miss Reed wore a white satin dress trimmed in pearls and wide bands of lace. Her crown was of pink roses. As a queen she was a lovely picture against the background of flowers and ferns. As a dancer she was graceful and charming. Miss Barr made a realistic Youth. The stage was an artistic spring setting with blue and pink morning glories twined in the foliage. Piano accompaniments added much to the beauty of the Fete. 198 hmm THE YONCOPIN Beauties L99 THE YONCOPIN M 200 m® -. fci , i— ■■ma THE YONCOPIN JU_ Feature wM 4 1 ■■■:■ ■ ■-■■■ L , - 1 r : fei ;V V % ■81 hh | i 2Pl !THE YONCOPIN (A) The author of our best times, all our college joys, (B) The reader of the hearts of college girls and boys — - Simultaneously A+B=Doc George.

A short talk, How to Be Ruff and Tuff, was given by Brother Davis. Members were warned by President Dupree that any one who came in late and unsteady and drank the gold fish water would be fined if found. The President also read a short note from the Theta Kappa Nu fra- ternity congratulating the Sigma Phi ' s on getting two pledges worth having. PI THETA UPSILON The regular meeting was held in the Barn. It was announced that the rent for the month had been raised, but as the frat owed for six months there was some disagreement as to which month ' s should be paid. Brother Cox proposed that a collection be taken for white wash, but the other brothers said that the front porch looked nice enough and they weren ' t expecting any company anyway. KAPPA ALPHA The meeting opened with the singing of the K. A. anthem Little Brown Jug. All the members put their spirits into it. This was followed by a short inspirational talk, Why We Rate, by Burney Howard. It was then moved and seconded that a card of thanks be mailed to Mr. Phillips. Brother Davis was nominated as a committee to mail the card. All members voted for him, and the meeting closed with a cheer. THETA KAPPA NU As many members as possible were herded into the house. The others took their places on the front porch. It was suggested that a gold badge be presented to the thirty-five membmers having the best attendance record, and after a short interval of silence, fifteen pledges were initiated, the other five being kicked out. Brother Meadows dismissed the meeting an hour early because he had to go to the Judge ' s to Court. ZETA DELTA A few of the girls meeting on the tennis court a session was called. It was proposed that the sorority pledge some one but after a heated discussion it was decided that it wouldn ' t do any good anyway. A party in honor of the Theta Kappa Nu fraternity was proposed and planned. The meeting closed with prayer. PHI OMEGA After considering the prices of apartments near school, it was decided that two dozen bids would be issued. Sister Mayo announced that she believed the Kappa Pi ' s had secretly issued three bids and would bear watching. Sister Hammett made a motion that the Phi Omegas run the school. It was loudly seconded. CHI DELTA The meeting was opened with giggling. Between gales of laughter, President Nanine Brown gave a darn good talk on The Value of a Constitution to a Sorority, and it was moved and seconded that the Chi Deltas have a constitution next year if it did not cost too much. It was also proposed that the sorority send flowers to Mrs. Campbell. Forget-me-nots were chosen. ZETA TAU ALPHA The girls got Zeta and a pledge! After much strategy all members were passed and the former Kappa Pi ' s settled back to rest. As soon as every one had regained her breath it was proposed that the sorority give a lovely banquet honoring Mrs. Reynolds. The meeting closed with the favorite sorority song, K. A. Sweetheart.

Certainly, you dear boy, here ' s forty cents. Where is your family? At de movies. A college girl was walking from the lobby of the Goldman Hotel in Fort Smith, Arkansas, on her way to Fayetteville. She was passing the house detective at the entrance when an ash tray dropped from her bulging coat. The guest glanced calmly at the officer, then turned with an expression of polite annoyance toward her fellow schoolmates. Ruffians, she said, who threw that? and walked out. Emily Dean: Where is Atoms? Hardy O ' Neil: Atoms You mean Athens don ' t you? Emily Dean: No; Atoms, the place where everything is blown to. Jelly : All I want is a drink and a few kind words. Scales: Well, here ' s your drink, and the kind words are, Don ' t drink it. Harriet West: Oh! Larry, you haven ' t any brains. Larry Vance: No brains? Why Harriet I ' ve got brains that never have been used. Mother: So you ' re smoking a pipe now? Mauree: Yes, Louise says she loves to see a man smoke a pipe. Mother: But she said a man. Mary Frances: I don ' t know whether I care to have you kiss me or not. Kepke: That ' s all right — I like it. Nut : I just got back from the beauty par- lor. I was there three hours. Emmett: Too bad that you stayed so long and didn ' t get waited on. J. C. Allen: I know a girl who plays the piano by ear. Red Blackshear: S ' nothing, I know an old man who fiddles with his whiskers. Lloyd Clanton Don ' t you remember me, Coach? I ' m the letter man who won the ball game. She was a new pledge, and was asking ques- tions. I guess the motto of this house is ' Eat, drink and be merry. ' No, said her new sister. It is eat, wink, but be wary. A WET PARTY.
