Mis = iss.ppi OxplanatioYi of C keme N THIS, the Historical Issue of the Toncopin, the division pages present five outstanding men in the history of Centenary, each one representing an era in its development, from its founding as a Methodist Institution on down through the trying years to the pres- ent day with Dr. George S. Sexton as president. The introductory drawings represent the development of the College, from the first building, an old condemned courthouse in Jackson, Louisiana, to the more modern campus of 1908 at Shreveport— where the present campus development started. In turning the pages of this book, the theme of progress through the 107 years of the growth of the Centenary is revealed to you. The historical data for this volume was taken from William Ham- ilton Nelson s book, A Burning Torch and a Flaming Fire, A His- tory of Centenary College, to whom we extend our grateful ac- knowledgments.

In turning through these pages, may the students of today be reminded of occasions dear to them, and may old graduates experience happy memories of days long past. If this aim is accomplished, then our labor shall not have been in vain. ski fc ' HE 1 oncopin staff and student body are doing a most com- mendable piece of work, in this year ' s Annual. You are giving recognition to some of those who, in the past, moved by their ideals and visions, lived sacrificial lives in serving Centenary College. While one might be able to gather the cold statistical facts concern- ing the progress of this century-old institution, its real history can not be transferred to our historical pages by the use of the printer ' s ink- The great achievement was in building human character and producing a cultural and spiritual life so indispensable in establish- ing a citizenship. In this informal way, I desire to commend and congratulate you for your wisdom shown and the painstaking work done in producing the Yoncopin for 1932. QEORGE S. SEXTON, President.

It was B. M. Drake who really founded Centenary College as a Methodist Institution in 1839, and from that time to his death in 1835, there was not one day that he was not actively identified with the school. ; i . , ' % L '  «-, ' oArts llwld ' ing Sntrance Chapel Entrance Colonial Hall c Dean ' s Home Rotary ' Dormitory Chapel building Through the Trees Jackson Hall South Campus in Spring e T f loard of Trustees j Officers of the Board no L.

Kenner was one of the important factors in the growth, and the very existence of Centenary College. ' During the reconstruction days, when financial ruin threatened the college, Bishop Kenner hitched old Dobbin to the shay and went from town to town and from house to house in Louisiana raising money for Centenary College. Sleeted President of the Board of Trustees in 1866, Bishop Kenner held that office until the day of his death, January 9, 1906. znM |  6 1 ' .

He was a great editor of the rr New Orleans Christian Advocate, a great preacher, a splendid teacher, and a President of Centenary who gath- ered around himself a fine faculty. The honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on C. W. Carter in 1879 by Centenary Col- lege. He was elected president of the college in 1894 and resigned in 1898. snh HRHH WftHiayi, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS jt gpf . • ' ■•■ m P J£ W „ HOMER H. NORTON • ATHLETIC STAFF • HOMER H. NORTON Coach of Football and Baseball Coach Homer H. Norton, who has given Centenary a grid team that has won the school and city national recognition, lettered in four sports while at Birmingham-Southern College. Norton has been with Centenary College twelve years, but it was not until his sixth season that he was appointed head coach and director of athletics. With Norton as Director of Athletics the Gents have widened their territory, and his winning teams have won Centenary recognition that has been priceless to the growth of the school. CURTIS PARKER Basketball Coach, Assistant Football Coach Coach Curtis Parker, Assistant Football Coach and Basketball Coach, has been con- nected with Centenary since 1926. He serves in the capacity of scout during football sea- son, and experts say that he is one of the best in football at diagnosing the weakness of a team. In basketball Parker turned out a championship team in 1931, and has always had a representative team on the floor. Par- ker, performing at the University of Arkan- sas, made several All-Southwest Conference teams as end in football and guard in basket- ball. ATHLETIC STAFF Fred Willis Freshman Coach Fred Willis, former star tackle of the Gents, is completing his second successful season as coach of freshman athletic teams at Cen- tenary. Willis has been able to instill in his freshman charges the same fighting spirit which he showed to such a marked degree as a player. Alvin Brown Assistant Freshman Coach Alvin Brown, who performed so brilliantly for the Gents as a quarterback not so long ago, has showed that he is just as capable when it comes to directing play from the sidelines as when he was leading his teammates on the held. Brown is completing his first year as a member of the staff. E. A. McDonnell Graduate Manager E. A. McDonnell, a former student manager of athletics, was in charge of the Gents ' finances during the football season and as a grad- uate manager he filled his position to the credit of the school. Letcher Marsalis Trainer E. A. McDonnell, a former student manager of athletics, was in Gents, has been connected with the athletic department for seven years, and during this time he has missed only two athletic contests put on by the College. 0F Bob Webb CHEER LEADERS An efficient cheering section is of recognized assistance in all athletic events of the college and Cen- tenary has been fortunate this year in having an efficient staff of pep inducers. Bob Webb, as head cheer leader, with the valuable assistance of his two co-workers, secured the best organized cheering from the Centenary stands since the days of Hickey and Bango.

Norton Head Coach Curtis Parker Assistant Coach Centenary, 23 Louisiana Normal, 2 The Gentlemen ushered in their season with a well-earned vic- tory over the Louisiana Normal Demons at the Fair Grounds Stadium. The ground gaining of Bull Murif was the outstanding feature of this contest. The Demons were not able to cope with the Gents ' superior offense and defense with the result that the Gents soon had the game won. Centenary, 46; Oklahoma Teachers, Playing a far superior game to their opening performance of the season when they defeated the Louisiana Normal Demons, the Gents scored a 46-0 win over the heavy Southeastern Teachers of Durant, Oklahoma, without being really extended on the defense. The Gents showed considerable improvement in blocking, tackling and holding the ball, and several long runs were featured by the assistance given the ball-carrier by team- mates doing considerable blocking. The Sophomores, Oslin, Townson, and Smith, did iBfc. $ tr m ■■■■ Nolan Johnson FOOTBALL (Continued) most of the ball carrying and ac- counted for a majority of the ter- ritory covered. Centenary, 24; Baylor, 13 Fighting like a Southern Gen- tleman will for the cause of right- eousness, and with the fury of a wounded panther, the Centenary Gentlemen rolled back a mountain-like obstacle as night was casting its shadow over the Fairgrounds and in the last quarter staged a rally, the like of which has not been seen on a local gridir on, to sweep to an overwhelming victory over the Golden Bears of Baylor University. Four touchdowns in the final 15 minutes of play gave the Gents a 24-13 vic- tory, whereas, the Bears had moved into the closing period with a lead of 13-0. Fighting spirit was the deciding factor in this battle. The Gents in the last period tried several plays that had failed them through three other quarters, but they kept on with a determination that was not to be denied. A double pass from Smith to Murff to Allums for the fourth play in the final quarter was what set the firework off. Although the Bears had scored twice, they were generally outplayed throughout the contest and the Gents ' attack was led by Ben Cameron, who showed well as a triple threat artist. LOUISIANA NORMAL OSBORNli FOOTBALL (Continued) Centenary, 27; Stetson, Going to the air just long enough to take a lead over their opponents and then settling back to await the normal developments of a football game, the Centenary Gentlemen found no great amount Womack of trouble after the opening quar- ter to defeat the Stetson College Hatters, and turn in their fourth win of the season. The fans saw nothing sensational from the Gents with the exception of watching Crawford Womack, the Bastrop sheriff, play the greatest ball he has played in his three years with the Gents. Paul Geisler, a sophomore, ran amuck on a couple of occasions to celebrate his freedom from the bench. Wilson Centenary, 0; S. M. U., 19 Led by the brilliant runs of Weldon Speedy Mason, the Southern Methodist Mus- tangs defeated the Centenary Gentlemen on their first road trip of the year. Due to a fiuke kick of the Gent punter in the first quarter, the Mustangs were able to go into the lead and remain that way throughout the remainder of the game. The Gents put up a tough scrap but were overpowered by the reserve strength of the ♦ Pattison OKLAHOMA TEACHERS MURFF Allums FOOTBALL (Continued) Mustangs and the deathly heat of the Fair Park Stadium. The Mus- tangs were able to score in the first quarter before the Texans again broke out with scoring power, due to a fresh herd of Mustangs being sent into the game. Centenary, 0; Texas A. and M., 7 r B. Cameron A long pass, which was too high for the Gents ' secondary defense to touch, which was hurled by Frenchy Domingue, found the ar ms of one Charlie Malone, elongated Ag- gie Cadet, and produced the only score of a hard-fought battle between the Gents and the Texans. This game was featured by the star work of Domingue and Graves, reserve Aggie backs. Domingue tore off several long gains and Graves ' unerring punts kept the Gents backed to their goal line the whole game. For the Gents, Blanchard Johnson showed the fans some of the best line-backing ever seen at the local school. Approximately 2,000 Texas A. M. Cadets were here from College Station to help swell the attendance to a 10,000 mark for the State Fair Game. It was one of the larg- est crowds ever to witness a local contest and certainly the most colorful. Oliphant BAYLOR UNIVERSITY Taylor , f FOOTBALL (Continued) Centenary, 6; Purdu e, 49 A grand and glorious beginning for the Centenary College Gents had a most tragic end for the Little Southerners when the husky Pur- due University Boilermakers struck back with the velocity of a tornado Smith and carried the Louisiana gridiron waters team to its greatest defeat in yearsj the score being 49-6. It was a complete ro ut for the Gents and their defeat came be- fore a crowd of 7,000. Outweighed and outplayed, the Gents never had a chance after the first two minutes of the game when they went to the front by a score of 6 to as the result of a recovery of a fumble by Pattison, a pass from Womack to Oslin for 20 yards, and a short gain by Oslin for the score. With their backs against the wall, the Boilermakers struck with a running and passing attack and before the quarter was over they were out in front by a score of 7-6. The Gents were unable to stop the powerful offensive of the Boilermakers and the Northerners pushed over a touchdown in the second and third quarters. In the fourth period they ran wild scoring four touchdowns, featuring long runs and passes. It was Sincitton STETSON UNIVERSITY Thompson FOOTBALL (Continued) the worst defeat ever administered to the Gents since they started playing major football. Centenary, 19; Union, If Young Osi.in With one eye on the Texas University Longhorns, who were the Gents ' next opponents, the Gents kept the other eye on Union University and were able to defeat the Bulldogs with no great amount of trouble. The Bulldogs threatened only once when, on a fake spinner, a Union back ran to the Gents ' six-yard line before he was downed. The Gents carried the ball to the Union goal line several times, but were unable to push over but three markers during the afternoon ' s work. Centenary, 0; Texas U., 6 Fighting as an under dog sometimes will, their forwards displaying more strength than they had displayed all season, once turning back the opposition on the one-yard line. Cam- eron gave a great exhibition of kicking and the ball carriers were dangerous at all times. The Centenary College Gents crowned themselves with glory even in defeat against the University of Texas Longhorns. Fully 8,000 fans saw the Maroon and White warriors wage a brilliant battle to hold the powerful Texas club to a 6-0 score, the winning margin being a 30-yard pass from Koy to Price for a touchdown in the second quarter. Geisler TEXAS A. M. TOWNSEN r Blakemore FOOTBALL (Continued) The Gent line showed up the best that they have this season and , s m wfK despite the Texans ' piling up a large total yardage, the Maroon and White forwards proved an even match for the Texans ' front wall. Charlie Pattison and Blanch- ard Johnson never played a better game in their lives, while Oliphant, Sherman Lee, and Taylor were practically in every play and Wilson and Young doing fine under fire in the center of the line. The margin of superiority for the Steers was in the backfield, because the Gents were facing two all-Conference backs, Koy and Stafford. Ben Cameron was the outstanding star on defense by the fact that he was never punt- ing better. Cameron gave an exhibition of kicking throughout the game such as had never been displayed on a local field before. He averaged nearly fifty yards on his kicks, and one of his punts traveled 80 yards. Centenary, 0; Arkansas U., 6 In a downpour of rain that converted the gridiron into a quadmire, robbed each team of its power, both in the land and air, and made the contest a duel mainly of punting, the Brown PURDUE Morgan FOOTBALL (Continued) Centenary Gents brought their sea- son to a close with a 6-0 defeat at the hands of the Arkansas Razor- backs. H. Cameron Ames The deciding play came after the team had dueled about fifty minutes for a break that would result in a score. Ben Cameron, who had fought off the advance of the Porkers in a punting duel with Ledbetter and Murphy, punted from behind his own goal line, and the ball traveled only 11 yards from the scoring station before going out of bounds. On the first play after the punt, Tom Murphy, Arkansas back, skirted around right end for a touchdown. Blanchard Johnson, Clyde Lee, and Charlie Pattison, who donned their moleskins for the last time today, played in their usual brilliant fashion in the line and Earl Nolan and Crawford Womack, two graduating backs, were keeping up their part in the fray also. Sherman and Thompson, reserve linesmen, also saw service for the last time in this game. PROSPECTUS Although graduation depletes from the ranks of the Centenary Gentlemen several of the veteran stars, the Maroon and White eleven shapes up, at this date, considerably UNION UNIVERSITY GinnoNS Shei ion FOOTBALL (Continued) stronger than the eleven that repre- sented the college this year, due to the fact that the Freshman club is counted on to furnish replacements and the experience gained by sev- eral gridsters who will be on the fall edition of the club. f n Carter LUMSDENJ Clyde Lee, Captain, Wood Os- borne, Alternate Captain, Charlie Pattison, Earl Nolan, Crawford Womack, and Blanchard Johnson will be missing when the roll is called this fall and it would hurt any school to lose such men as these. How- ever, the coaches and the student body are optimistic over the chances of the local col- legians and it appears as if there are chances of the Gents regaining some of the prestige they lost in the football world last fall. At the end positions, the Gents will suffer probably their greatest loss. Lee, Osborne, and Pattison performed most of the time at these two positions and there will be a lack of experience among the end candidates. Morgan, who played enough to letter last year, Allums, a veteran of two seasons on the varsity, Geisler, who was switched back to end after playing a year in the backfield, and Matthews, a long, lanky, pass receiver, loom as the best material at the terminals. Big Parker, Allen, and Levey are other ends who are not to be overlooked. Bei.ciff.r PURDUE Nichols DOLAN Wamsley FOOTBALL (Continued) Oliphant and Taylor, who are rounding out their gridiron careers next year, are the outstanding can- didates at the tackle berths. Both are experienced men and capable of holding up their side of the ques- tion. Gillory and Harper, sopho- mores, form the reserve strength for Oliphant and Taylor and no d oubt will see plenty of action as the tackles are scarce. The loss of Blanchard Johnson, the greatest guard ever to don a uniform for the Maroon and White team, will be greatly felt, but the coaches are attempting to allay this as much as possible by switching Bob Waters from a tackle position to the new post at guard. Tom Wilson, who played the guard position opposite Johnson last year, will be back this year to fight it out with Blakemore, letterman, Lumsden, and Brown, squad- man, Sellers, Ellerbe, and Smith, up from the Freshman ranks for his old position. The center position, which was the weak spot of last year ' s eleven, will be strengthened due to the experience gained by Singleton, Young and Ames, and another replacement, Fred Williams, up from the Freshman ranks who looks good. Cameron, Murff, Oslin, Smith, Townsend, are the varsity hold-overs and will get plenty of help from the incoming Freshmen, who include Little Parker, Glumac, Barn- hart, Clark, Sellers, Murphy, Stallcup. TEXAS UNIVERSITY Marwood Burns THE LEVELER Football has come to be looked upon as one of the dramatic ways of indicating, if not meas- uring, certain differences between institutions. Just what these differences are it is diffcult to tell. Even the score board is mysterious, and sometimes difficult to read. Perhaps there is not much logic in the argument. Perhaps, too, this is neither the time nor the place for logic. Yet it has often come to me that, through football, many of the usually recog- nized external differences in institutions tend to disappear. What its football team is has no ap- parent relation to the age, size, location or character of the college or university. In particular, football pays no attention to geography. This afternoon, Purdue greets those who yesterday were more or less strangers. Today we count Centenary as belonging within our circle of lasting friendship. The rivalry of the grid- iron will lead to scores. Any unevenness is a passing incident. All teams are equal on the grid- iron, before the game. The inevitable law of sport levels all inequalities, after the game. Edward C. Elliott, President of Purdue University. Written on eve of Centenary-Purdue game.

THE STADIUM Arch Haynes, a loyal friend of Centenary and an enthusiastic supporter of her athletic pro- gram, furnished the driving power necessary to bring to a s uccessful conclusion the movement to erect a suitable stadium for Centenary ' s athletic events.

RuilDERHAM V ' fei Fred Willis Coach FRESHMAN FOOTBALL RESUME The Centenary Junior Gentlemen gave evidence of proving valuable addi- tions to the varsity when they went through with their season in winning more games than they lost. In the first game against the El Dorado Junior Col- lege, the yearlings piled up a big score to smother the Arkansas boys under an ava- lanche of touchdowns; the score at the close of the fray was 85 to 0, in favor of the freshmen. Alvin Brown Assistant Coach The next game saw the Junior Gents swing into action against the Texas Military College and again emerge victorious, 22-8. The freshmen played the best game of the season against the Military College Cadets. The Lon Morris Bearkats were the next victims of the freshmen, the locals piling up a 26-0 score with little difficulty. The Junior Gents took a 900-mile trip to the Mexican border to play their fourth battle of the year and for the first time, they were turned back without victory. The Brownsville Junior College Scorpions gave the Shreveporters the worst shellacking they had all year and sent the Junior Gents home with a 26-0 loss. In the last game of the season, the yearlings were again on the short end of the score, 12-0, in their fray against the College of Marshall. ATHLETIC CLUB I Mi 4 g n r i9? : r nv irv. rd C|4 - m n 1 I jJiu 1.1 BASKET BALL V Curtis Parker Coach Blanchard Johnson Captain The Centenary Gentlemen started off their 193 1-32 basketball season with a 2,500-mile midwestern trip which sent them up against ten of the worthiest basketball foes in the country. The Gentlemen captured four out of the ten frays and emerged with valuable experience which served them well after they started meeting Conference opponents. On this trip, the Maroon and White warriors played such strong fives as those of Loy- ola U. and DePaul U. of Chicago and Concordia U. of St. Louis. The Gents showed the fans of this section an improved ball club after their jaunt and came through with six wins and two losses against Conference rivals. With this im- pressive record, the local collegians were invited to the S. I. A. A. tourney, which was staged at Jackson, Mississippi. The Gents were defending champions, having captured the crown the year before, but they failed to repeat this time when they dropped a mis- erable bail game to the University of Louisville quintet. Charity shots, which had been a stumbling block all season, proved the Gentlemen ' s downfall when their opponents made BASKETBALL SQUAD • BASKETBALL (Continued) 13 out of 15 free shots while the Gents were only able to make three out of ten. Allums _ j . The Gentlemen encountered m. M t le Texas A. M. Cadets and the j Hi Texas University Longhorns twice JB $ during the course of the season and split the series with the Aggies and Ames the Steers. The Gents played the Cadets on foreign soil while they were hosts to the Steers in Shreveport, February 15-16. In the first game against the Steers, the locals were unable to hold an early lead and were defeated, but came back in the second game before a large gathering to take an overtime period which was won in the last 15 seconds of play when Earl Nolan caged a field goal from out near center to put the Gents a point in the lead and settle the hostilities. The Centenary Gentlemen had only two regulars, Nolan and Johnson, remaining from the championship ball club of last year and these veterans proved to be the only two scorers on the ball club. The key men, Crowley, captain and center, Moran, all-S. I. A. A. guard, Finch, guard, and McElreath, guard, were lost through graduation and it practically wrecked the ball club. Coach Parker was faced with the problem of finding a center, and there was a notice- able lack of height on the club. There were only two experienced men, but the team f .. , Nolan Womack OSLIN Morgan BASKETBALL (Continued) came around nicely, taking all things into consideration, and they were hard to beat when they were clicking. Looking forward to the basket- ball team of 1932-33, the Gents will be faced with the loss of Nolan and Johnson, the best pair of for- wards to ever don the Maroon and White uniforms. Their value to the team could not be underestimated and it will be many a day before there can be a pair to duplicate their performances on the hardwood floor. The freshman team this year was the best in the history of the school, but their value to the varsity is problematical. The 1932-33 basketball season holds a very large question mark for the Gentlemen of the hardwood court. During the past season, the Gents played around the 500 per- centage mark and graduation claimed Nolan and Johnson, co-captains, also Womack, a guard. The bright side of the question mark is that last year ' s Freshman team was above the average. But their play must improve, as they will be playing against some of the very best basketball teams in the Mid- West, Southwest, and the South during their next cam- paign. Smith Blakemore P ' red Willis, Coach FRESHMAN BASKETBALL RESUME Under the capable guidance and tutorship of Fred Willis, the Cen- tenary Freshmen basketeers concluded a highly successful season. Coach Willis drew up a finely coordinated fighting machine out of the raw ma- terial that was available and exhibited no small amount of coaching ability in developing a team that could give such a good account of itself. Two teams, composed entirely of Centenary freshmen, were entered in the city league this year. The elite of the yearlings, playing under the banner of the Red Ball Transit Company, won the City League and City championships. This is the first time in the history of the school that any freshman club has won such signal honors and it must be said to their credit that they played superb ball all the way through. The record of the Red Ball crew shows that they lost only two games during the season, one to the World Champion Celtics, and the other to the Cosmopolitan Club, a team they defeated twice during the course of the season. Olson ' s Terrible Swedes, one of the best traveling amateur clubs in America, were the victims of the Transit quintet in one engagement, while Sparco Mohawks, the nemesis of the freshmen for many years, were defeated three times. The Bossier Lumbermen, champions of the Y League, met the Junior Gents in two engagements and were repulsed each time with a loss. The all-S. I. A. A. stars happened to cross the path of the Frosh and were swept aside. From the Freshman team that Coach Willis hands on to Coach Parker, plenty of fine players should be available for next year ' s varsity, assuring Centenary an unusually strong 1932-33 team. mi B,u, '  EimU te0SM.L taEOBRU.

Sexton has been a commanding figure in the development of Cen- tenary College. Arriving at the psychological moment in 1921 to assume the Presidency, Dr. Sexton literally saved Centenary from ob- livion. oA pioneer and an educator of the highest order, and a prominent leader in both church and secular affairs. Dr. Sexton has given his time, his boundless enthusiasm, and his remarkable gift for organization and leadership to Centenar y Col- lege. 3 wgs iifffKMffll WT3 l ras Hi Jrenetope Jackson - ..■ ; - I m Jylari) ( WempLe — iMHiimH«mwnii iinTrT— - ■- — — — ■ ' — ■immmmmimmmiiiiiiw warn ■ ' ,- ' wwi ' m 1 ' -- (jg amwnuuwa«vnmnR vwim « mu um?iHKU9iimMi mm wiimiiiiMi mini iinrmrniiimir-irar-ri ..—..

Numerous pledges were obtained by the usual ' ' Bunk and Bul- lem process, which is quite similar to a po ' itician ' s promises. However, only one was initiated. The rest evidently wanted to belong to a sorority. Since the gang went K. A. things ain ' t been right on the ole campus; even the elections are dishonest now. But then there ' s always Ruth Lee to be different and sup- port Lambda Theta Chi. The chapter should show some improvement, as Lu- cille Connell of Election Scandal fame, has been grad- uated. ifj ui£L£3s to mf With such bodies to work with as Olive Gorton, Rolene Rathbun, Josie Neal, etc., it was thought that a fast basketball team cou ' d be developed. It was found that their speed was quite remote from the physical sense. Due to temperamental inconsistencies they re- Chi Omega fused to play. To lighten their social burden Gertrude Rathbun smiled at a boy — just once, tho — then again they sunk back into oblivion until Marjorie Molt started to talk things up for them. The pledging of Nell B. helped ease the pain, as it gave the Zetas a good bump. Alpha Xi Delta The oncoming rush season forced the Alphas into a huddle and panic. It was beyond their control. Their only hope was their patron saint, Dean Campbell, who responded beautifully and etc. Finally, after a half- shot rush week, Charlotte Mills and Etheylene Graves and other noncombatants were acquired — thus the chap- ter ' s day and charter was saved. However, dissension was among them, as many an Alpha vote was found cast for Mary Wemple, the Zeta Zephyr, in the Spon- sor Election.

Days which seemed to drag with them the last feeble ray of hope. Such are the struggles of sensitive souls towards their glistening goals of glory. For months I endured the abuses, scorn and ridicule of my fellow classmates, without losing that precious bit of courage which made it pos- sible to carry on against the overwhelming odds. Many a time and oft did I call myself a fool to spend my life ' s blood on an art which few mor- tals have the aesthetic power to appreciate. Success, my young friends, comes unexpectedly, the ebon hour before the brilliant dawn. Thus it came to me just as the infinite fog of despair was about to settle upon my stooping shoulders. A full, queer sensation pervaded by being. I realized it was coming — and then — eager and breathless, I waited. At last — the rich, golden tones of a perfect belch.
