TO portray in lasting form the activities of our college during the present year, to preserve in picture, faces, and scenes near and dear to us, and to relive in story memories associated with college days . . . . To depict the real college atmosphere with its mul- tiple interests and attach- ments, endeavoring to show its far-reaching influ- ence on the lives of its students is the goal and purpose of THE YONCOPIN • for 1933 • A A ec o,d o fthepre e0 MORE than a century has witnessed the consistent growth of Cen- tenary College pushing past obstacle after obsta- cle, and reaching toward an ultimate pinnacle of scholastic attainment.

(grifBll) Born April 16, 1860 Mississippi Died December 23, 1932 Dallas, Texas Mere words are inadequate to express the love and respect the students and faculty of Centenary felt for this woman who gave the last ten years of her life to the school she loved. Ready hands to help someone, a cheerful smile to lighten trouble, and love — these that she gave so abundantly are the qualities which tell why everyone loved Mother Griff. The memory of her sterling character will exist forever in the hearts of her many friends. PAGE 25 • The Yoncopin, 1933 What Centenary • PAGE 26 • ST OR a hundred and eight years Centenary College has built a pathway of knowledge down which the youth of this region has eagerly trod. This old school, with its lovely traditions, its tales of student activities, dating back years before the Civil War, has furnished an incentive to more concentrated study and more ele- vated ideals. A small Southern college retains the cultural environment and the intimacy of the Old South, which is so quickly lost in the larger in- stitutions. s s V The Yoncopin, 1933 Has Accomplished ) ' I ' I y 1 HEREFORE, social life is regarded as a very important requisite of the Southern cam- pus, and in recognizing this, Cen- tenary has developed an ideal so- cial atmosphere to parallel and strengthen the academic atmos- phere. Centenary, through constant as- sociation with youth, has become established as the ideal small school — a school whose aim is to teach future men and women to live a life full and complete in all its phases.

To the Loyal Without the support of loyal friends, Centenary, small school that she is, could never have reached the heights of athletic glory which are hers today. The loyalty of her friends has been tried and tested through the years that have witnessed her rise from a nobody in the world of sport to a place in the sun in Southern football. For many years, President Emeritus George S. Sexton and Coach Homer Norton have dreamed of the day when Centenary would have a suitable ath- letic field, where her Gents might engage the great teams of the Southland on the gridiron. A group of men who shared this dream with Sexton and Nor- ton have made possible its realization by their loyalty and untiring labor. A dream was made real, a great hour in Cen- tenary ' s history arrived when, on the afternoon of the Louisiana State Normal-Centenary game, the college officials and many other notables marched to the cen- ter of the stadium gridiron, where President W. An- gie Smith accepted the beautiful stadium from Arch Haynes, director of the stadium committee. As President Emeritus George S. Sexton extended con- • PAGE 80 • WHEN GENTS HUMBLED OLD LOU Friends of Centenary gratulations to Director Haynes on the completion of the project which had been their com- mon goal for many years, the thousands in the stadium cheered their approval. The men whose names appear on this pag; have had a part in building a greater Cen- tenary and have also helped to make possible the athletic section of this book, as a tribute to Coaches Norton and Parker and their undefeated team of this year. The staff of the 1933 Yoncopin extends to them its sincere thanks for their splendid support. M. W. Barber Judge T. F. Bell O. L. BlEDENHARN Harry V. Booth Bubba Broyles E. A. Chapman Dr. John T.

Dickey Hawthorne, the stu- dents ' choice for head cheerleader, and his assistants were successful in creating a strong college spirit early in the season which gained mo- mentum with each succeeding victory. The members of the football team seemed to sense the spirit of the student body and became imbued with a fighting spirit which at times seemed superhuman as they won victory after victory in their march toward the goal which they achieved — a season unmarred by defeat. • PAGE 82 • ) ' I ' I ■f HOMER H.

' I ' I ' I ' I CENTENARY OPENS SEASON WITH HENDERSON TEACHERS Centenary College ' s new football stadium, with its seating ca- pacity of 10,000. that brought the Maroon and White back to it? own grounds for home games after several years, proved good luck for the Gentlemen grid warriors when it was used for the first time in a regulation battle to usher in the 1932 pig-skin season here. With attendance of about 5,000. all roaring their approval, the Gents rode home to victory over the Henderson State Teachers of Arkadtlphia in about as smooth a game as ever marked the open- ing of a college gridiron campaign here. The Gents had little trouble in turning in t heir victory. Except for a few minutes in the opening quarter, when play was confined between their 20-yard line and midfield, and when a couple of en- emy punts drove them back closer to their own goal line. Cen- tenary was always master of the situation. Scoring once in the opening quarter, three times in the second, and twice in the final chapter, they totaled 41 points, while the visitors were forced to return to their Arkansas home without a tally. — JOE R. CARTER, Shreveport Times. GENTS BEAT TEXAS LONGHORNS IN LAST FIVE MINUTES Outplaying their heavier foemen all the way, the Centenary Col- lege Gentlemen defeated the University of Texas Longhorns, 13 to 6. Five minutes before the final gun sounded the Gentlemen started the final drive which was to bring them victory. Harold Oslin. an outstanding back of the day. faked an end run cut back and ran 19 yards to put the pigskin one yard from the goal. Then Ralph Murff, another star Centenary backfield man, carried the ball over on his fourth trial, going through left guard. It was the fleet Gentlemen backfield, a set of horsemen if ever there was such, who beat the Southwest Conference team. Eddie Townsen, Manning Smith, Murff and Oslin spun around ends, danced through the line and tossed aerials as few backs have ever done on Memorial Stadium field. They had marvelous support from Ames, Oliphant, Morgan and Geisler in the forward wall. — JOE R. CARTER. Shreveport Times. AUSTIN TRIBUTE The Longhorns were not disgraced In defeat. They played a heads-up brand of football throughout the four periods, but lost simply because they were facing a fighting, inspired eleven, en- dowed with a. trio of the flashiest backs seen on a Centenary team in recent years, who were not to be denied. And not only did the Centenary backs cover themselves with glory, but their line made a stand which will go down in Centenary football history among its greatest. Actually outplaying the Long- horns ' forward wall, the Gents ' linemen tore gaping holes in the forward wall for their phantom-like backs to filter through. Eddie Townsen, 140 pounds; Manning Smith. Oslin and Murff were the propelling force of Centenary ' s marvelous victory, and their exploits Saturday will place them among the top ranks of Southwest gridiron heroes. By A. S. (HOP) HOPKINS, Austin Statesman. • PAGE 88 • The Varsity, 1933 John Blakemore Eddie Townsen Rob Waters Perry Ames KIND WORDS Writing in the Houston Post-Dispatch, Lloyd Gregory described a conversation he had with Marty Karow, Texas University back- field coach. We asked Karow about Centenary ' s win over Texas, Gregory writes. Our players were too chesty when they w nt into the game, Karow explained. But don ' t let anybody tell you Homer Norton of Centenary doesn ' t have a good team. His backfield is as fast as any in the Southwest Conference, and his line is strong. MAROON AND WHITE DEFEAT LOUISIANA NORMAL DEMONS Climaxing a beautiful afternoon ' s ceremony that took in the dedication of their new playing field, and the christening of their football plant as the Centenary Stadium Centenary College Gentle- men, as per expectation, handed their friendly rivals, the Louisiana State Normal Demons, a neat 41 to 7 trimming . The Maroon and White color bearers of Centenary accepted a challenge from the Demons for an aerial battle in taking their vic- tory. The Demons chose to make it a forward passing duel on the very first play of the game after Seward had returned the kick-off from his 17-yard line to the 36-yard line. The Gents also went to the bombing and the battle throughout was featured by overhead plays. — JOE R. CARTER. Shreveport Times. GENTLEMEN GIVEN SCARE BY OLE MISS WIN BY 13-6 SCORE. If Centenary did not meet the best team in Mississippi, Norton would hate to meet a better one in a dark alley. A mellowed blend of football methods as ancient as they make them and as modern as tomorrow; one that embraced the old statue of liberty play that was in use when football players wore leather- coated mattresses on their shoulders, and more modern, double, triple, lateral and forward passes in bewildering array, gave the Gents many unhappy moments. Lucky it was for Centenary that Eddie Townsen got into the game when he did; luckier still that Touchdown Eddie flowered a 17-yard run that drew him across the Ole Miss back-stripe in the second quarter to break a 6-6 tie that had endured almost too long for the comfort and peace of mind of 5,000 sp?ctators who grew hot and cold by turns. — JOE R. CARTER, Shreveport Times. PLUNGE BY MURFF DEFEATS TIGERS Ralph Murff accomplished two things when lie plunged across the line in the third quarter of Saturday ' s game to give Centenary a 6-0 victory over the Tigers. He won the game and he became the first player of the season to score through the Louisiana line. —SHREVEPORT JOURNAL. w y • PAGE 89 • The Varsity, 1933 Maurice Morgan Raymond Parker Fred Williams V t ' ( J ' I Joe Oliphant GENTS ROCK TEXAS BY OUTPLAYING MUSTANGS If you ever tried to work the old three-shell game, you ' ve got a fair idea of how the Southern Methodist LTniversity Mustangs felt trying to stop three deer-footed luggers who raced and kicked the Centenary Gents to an 18 to 7 win over the Ponies. Murff, a young star who gained his football experience in Mar- shall High School, stood out in particular. This 175-pound young- ster not only showed a pair of wicked heels, but an educated toe. The Marshall youngster was the best ball toter on the field thrown in. although in this respect he had little on Shorty Os- 1 in, who made greased lightning look like a Slow Train Through Arkansas. Manning Smith, the Gent quarter, not only guided the Gent eleven with precision but he aided them in their attack with some neat ball carrying and passing. It would be difficult to single out individual stars in the Gent line, but at the same time it would be ridiculous to overlook the stellar play of Geisler, about as neat an end as local fans have seen this year, and Osborne, his running mate, who is little short of a marvel at breaking into plays and coming up with his man. Ames, the center, played a whale of a game, as did Oliphant and Taylor on the line. — JOE R. CARTER, Shrevepnrt Times. GENTLEMEN ACCLAIMED BY GEORGE WHITE The classiest little machine that ever set feet on a Lone Star gridiron. Such is the designation given the Centenary Gentlemen by George White, sports editor of the Dallas News who in his Sports Broadcast column observes that if they succeed in beating Texas A. and M. and Arkansas they ' ll make the Conference champion- ship look like a hollow title for whatever team manages to win it. White goes on to say: As a new week gets under way, the palm goes to Homer Nor- ton, coach of the Centenary College Gentlemen. Coach Ray Morrison of the Mustangs, another prominent men- tor and two capable officials, among others, have informed the writer that Pop Norton exhibited here the classiest little machine that ever set feet on a Lone Star State gridiron. By all means, you should try to see this team play at least once, Morrison advised. Its play was beautiful even to me, when my team was taking the licking. I got the biggest kind of a kick out of seeing the Gents perform. Listen, remarked the other coach referred to, I got a real eyeful of watching Centenary. I can ' t recall ever having seen a better drilled, more smoothly functioning eleven. It would have been impossible for any coach in the business to have gotten an ounce more out of that club than Norton got in the S. M. IT. game. The best hustling football team I ever saw, said one official. The Gents didn ' t pass up a single bet. They got some breaks all right, but they made most of them by staying on top of the ball from start to finish. They simply humiliated the Ponies, said another arbiter, by- beating them to the jump all the way through on offense and on defense. — GEORGE WHITE, Dallas News. • PAGE 90 • The Varsity, 1933 Louis Glumac Marse Harper Richard Young Ralph Murff BOUQUET Ray Morrison ' s Southern Methodist University Mustangs played their third nocturnal e ngagement of the season and sustained an IS to 7 drubbing at the hands ol the best Centenary team in years if not the finest squad in the annals of the Shreveport school.

NOTES FROM HOUSTON The designation by the Houston Chronicle of Centenary as a team fast becoming the best non-Conference team in the Con- ference exemplifies the friendly relationship that exists between Centenary and the Southwestern Conference. The astonishing success Centenary has had this season against teams of the Conference is well expressed by the Chronicle with the assertion that the Gents are having a whale of a time knock- ing off the Southwestern brethren with potshots from out of the league. WRITER PRAISES NORTON When a coach is able to take a handful of football players and whip the teams of schools whose enrollment exceeds that of Cen- tenary five and six times, he truly has something on the ball. —OTIS HARRIS, Shreveport Journal. GENTS DEFEAT AGGIES, 7-0 Throwing off a yoke of depression that hung over them through two quarters, mainly as the result of five bitter victories they had turned in since September 24 against worthy foes, the Centenary Gentlemen soared to lofty heights on both the offense and defense, to beat the Texas Aggies in one of their bitterly fought contests for which the teams have been noted since they first met in combat on the gridiron back in 1928 at College Station. Smith, in the role of the triple-threat artist, stole the spotlight as he passed, punted and carried the ball past the visitors ' defense line. He began plowing through the enemy defense with great con- sistency in the third quarter as his mates parted the way like a sharp knife cutting through cake. Ralph Murff. who was the marked man in the Gents ' lineup, played the part of the decoy in the Centenary attack and drew much fire from the enemy tackles. — JOE R.

The Gents scored seven touchdowns in all, and three of them were aided directly by the perfect passing of Glumae. Eddie Town- sen scored one on a 12-yard run after a 25-yard heave, and a 17- yard pass to R.

TIGERS OUTPLAYED BY GENTS A tiny gridiron spark that has been smouldering in the hearts of successive Centenary College football players for about ten years, burst into a roaring flame at Centenary stadium Saturday afternoon and claimed as its prey the Louisiana State University Tigers, the victim it has stalked for lo these many moons. The Tigers went down to a 6 to defeat, as 15,000 sets of eyes looked on from the high enclosure and marveled at the fight, de- termination and expert workmanship of the local gridsters. The first quarter of the game was partly a punting duel be- tween Yates of the Tigers and Smith of Centenary, featured by quick kicks on second downs by the Tigers and the period ended with Yates ripping the Gents ' line. Second period opened with the Gents making a great defense on their 10-yard line and Bowman making a costly fumble that spoiled the Tigers ' long drive. Shorty Oslin gave a demonstration of his speed in returning punts and wide end-sweeps. The quarter closed with Paul Geisler making a tackle that threw Bowman for a 15- yard loss. Third period found the Gents putting over their score. Eddie Townsen gave the fans a thrill by running back a kick-off 20 yards. The Gents lost the ball when Smith punted to the Tigers ' 5-yard line. Yates gave a nice exhibition of running, with three good gains around ends, but was finally stopped with a 5-yard loss. After tak- ing a punt on their own 40-yard line, Centenary marched down to a score, with Murff making the counter, on a line play. The Tigers ' famous passing combination, Yates to Lobdell started working after a pass, Lobdell to Sullivan, failed. The Gents ' defense functioned and Centenary took the ball on its 15-yard line when Oslin batted down a pass for the fourth down. Aided by a 15-yard penalty and a nice pass from Smith to Geis- ler, who plowed 17 yards for a 27-yard gain, the Gents moved down to the 10-yard line, where a field goal was tried by Murff and missed. Torrance punted out of danger. After two nice gains by Oslin and Murff, and a punt by L. S. U., the game ended with the ball in Centenary ' s possession on the Tiger ' s 25-yard line. — JOE R. CARTER, Shreveport Times. Captain Biff Jones, Head Coach of the Tigers, told Coach Nor- ton that the thing that impressed him most was the excellent block- ing of the Gents. • PAGE 92 • The Varsity, 1933 Melford Allums WORDY GARLANDS FOR THE GENTLEMEN A crowd that taxed all available seating space watched the Maroon-clad Gentlemen of little Centenary out-play and out-think Louisiana State ' s varsity club. And furthermore: The Centenary plays on their touchdown drive were executed to perfection if plays ever were, and the Gents quarter, Manning ' Smith, a Shreveport boy, should be rated among the outstanding signal callers in this section of the country. Plaintiff further deposes: A story of the Centenary game is not complete without men- tion of Paul Geisler. This Geisler is a Zimmerman, Dalrymple and Carideo all in one, and if evei a junior deserves all-American men- tion, the big Centenary end deserves it. Geisler is fast, ruthless and a great football player. BATON ROUGE ADVOCATE. S. U.. they beat a good team; one that year and with man power behind it. —NEW ORLEANS STATES. They stopped L. S. U.

When the Gents beat I has been well coached thi BIFF JONES RATES GEISLER Speaking with Fred Digby of the New Orleans Item-Tribune, Jones sang the praise of Geisler thus. The best end I have seen all season, on any team in or out of the Southern Conference, is Paul Geisler of Centenary. He is as fast as a streak, weighs about 190, is smart and can take it. They tell me he is just like Dalrymple, only bigger. GENTS MISS SCORE BY SIX INCHES; HELD TO TIE BY ARKANSAS A year-long dream of a perfect football season for the Cen- tenary Gentlemen vanished into the chill of a bleak November afternoon when the University of Arkansas Razorbacks held the Gents to a scoreless tie. Six inches, no more, perhaps less, separated the Gentlemen from the touchdown that would have climaxed a matchless season with a ninth-straight victory. But a bristling Razorback machine, inspired for the moment and suddenly surcharged with power beyond limits it was expected to reach, reared a barrier between Centenary and the backstripe of the Ozarks ' Red Shirts after Centenary, with Manning Smith sup- plying the impetus, had driven down field from its own 25-yard line to within measured inches of the Porker goal. A determined drive by Arkansas was halted at the Centenary 3-yard line by the time-keeper ' s gun, ending the first half, after the Gents had held for three downs. ♦ Coulter Mathews Robert Parker Tom Smith V ) ' I ' I • PAGE 93 • The Varsity, 1933 J.

Here and there with a line or two you see some mention of Centenary, the Shreveport Citadel of run, pass, buck and kick. Yet, Centenary has not only won every battle, but in addition, it has fought its way through a tough schedule, which includes Texas A. and M., Texas University, and Louisiana State, where Biff Jones has quite a football team at Baton Rouge. These are strong football teams — always hard to take — and the tact that Centenary took all three over the hurdles is proof enough of Centenary ' s all-around strength. Unfortunately, Centenary is in no conference. (Mr. Rice stands corrected.) It is jammed in between the South and Southwest, so. if it should complete the remainder of its schedule without a dent it will lift a lone flag and claim everything in sight. — SHREVEPORT JOURNAL.

LEMONS AND PEACHES From an unsung place in Southern football (save in Shreve- port), Centenary has risen as one of the season ' s giants in this sec- tion. The Gentlemen, with a hard-hitting, shifty backfield and an alert line, have bowled over Texas University, Southern Methodist and Texas Aggies in the Southwest Conference. From what looked to be a lemon Centenary has blossomed out into a peach, and if Biff Jones can hook- this Shreveport aggrega- tion by a substantial margin, his bed of roses certainly won ' t he thorny among North Louisiana fans. Centenary is a peach worth picking, but may give the Tigers an awful tummyache before the day is over Nov. 12. — W. I. SPENCER, Baton Rouge Advocate.

CHAMPIONS Leaving Centenary in the latter part of December and returning the second week of January, the varsity squad went as far north as Illinois and Indiana. They played eleven games, won five and lost six. Having played the eleven games in as many nights and traveled all the distance in cars, the Gentlemen, tired and worn, started their trip to Dixie with experience, judgment, and accuracy under their belts, which was to be used in the winning of the championship of the S. I. A. A. Mathews held the show during the whole trip. The result of the hard work put in by the team came out when they played their S. I. A. A. conference games. The Gentlemen played nine Conference games and won all but one, losing it to L. P. I., of Ruston, by th: 1 score, 26 to 27. Having played good ball in their Conference games, the Gentlemen were invited with a good rating to attend the S. I. A. A. conference held in Jackson, Mississippi. The work and its results put in by the basketeers and Coach Parker during the season was shown in the article taken from the Jackson paper. It read, Centenary s Gentlemen, smart yet daring, deliberate yet speedy, last night won the S. I. A.

The elected officers represent the student body in all intercollegiate re- lations. The outstanding accomplishment of the officers for 1932 and 1933 was the organization of the student senate which is composed of two representatives from each class and the officers of the Students ' Association. The purpose of the senate is to co-operate with the faculty in matters pertaining to students ' activities and to promote a better un- derstanding of the student and faculty relations. The student officers in co-operation with President Smith were in- strumental in bringing Dr. Quillian to Centenary for the annual col- lege revival which was an outstanding event of the college year. s Officers Fred Edgar President Ralph Murff J ice-President Tom Wilson Secretary Manning Smith Treasurer • PAGE 142 • The Yoncopin, 1933 Top Row: Mrs. M.

Sexton called a meeting of the mothers of students and friends of the college, and out of that meeting the Mothers ' Club of Centenary College was or- ganized. The aim of the organization being what the name would imply, To serve whenever and wherever we could. The first definite work of the club was the remodeling of the College Chapel. Other work has been furnishing of the Y. M. C. A. room, beginning on a plan of landscaping the campus. Probably the most outstanding or the most needed work was done last year in rearranging and refurnishing the college library. For their work this year they have attempted to make Colonial Hall more attractive, rearrang- ing the entrance hall and living room. Officers Mrs. Clarence Shaffer .

Realizing our shortcomings in journalistic ability, we have attempted to in- corporate in it the spirit of Centenary so that you would again be rejuvenated by it in later years. What this year ' s Yoncopin might have been only our dreams can tell. What it is is for your judgment. The aim of the staff has been to keep the standard of th? Yoncopin up to the high level set by the 1932 book, which was awarded ail-American mention by the National Scholastic Press Association. The Staff Ben Roshton Algie Brown .

THE CONGLOMERATE Taking a progressive step forward in campus leadership, the Conglomerate, student weekly publication, during the past year set an intellectual and inspirational pace for the students to follow. Departing from the ultra-conservatism practiced by Centenary editors heretofore, the editors of the 1933 Conglomerate took the lead in suggesting campus improvements, in criticising when criticism was due, in urging co-operation among student groups, and in creating interest in the common cause of student progression at Centenary. Many worthwhile features were sponsored by the Conglomerate, the most important ones being the annual popularity contest, the election of Sweetheart of the Football Team, the organization of the Student Senate, and the college tennis tournament. Each edition of the paper showed careful editing and made its appearance on the campus at the appointed time.

Robert S. See s Due to very capable management during the past years the publications at Centenary have been able to carry on as usual in spite of the great economic depression, whereas many institutions have been forced to discontinue or make drastic reductions of their publications. Making this possible has not been an easy task, and the hours have been long and often it appeared that there would not be a book or paper at all. However, that stage is passed, and the staff is already beginning to cherish that moment when we shall wash our mental hands of the whole business for 1933.

Did I say rush for registration? Well, I was mistaken. That rush came from the Greek letter organizations. They pounce on poor, unsuspecting freshmen without mercy, and a good candidate has about as much chance escaping them as a man has of not getting shot in Chicago. Third degree methods used by the police department on criminals are mild in com- parison. Among the male organizations many and varied requirements are necessary for a pin. First we have the organization that doesn ' t ask a frosh to pledge in a nice way, but threatens him with, If you want to make the football team, you had better go . Another requires a pledge to be able to control at least one vote in all elections. Another resorts to means only they could use,- — they not only sweat the frosh for four weeks, but solicit and enlist the aid of mothers, sisters, former teachers, sweethearts, and anyone else that will talk for dear old . Another, conspicuous for its small membership, depends largely upon its alumni to bring the pressure and give the rush parties. Among the female organizations we have one that depends on the D.B.S. Sorority at Byrd Hi to send them members. That ' s the only requirement necessary for a pin. There seems to be lots of stone-throwing in this chapter by those who live in glass houses. Another organiza- tion whose requirements are simple, go to such extremes as kidnaping to get their gal. We under- stand they got a few too soon in the winter term. The other organization had an extremely hard year — the freshman class consisted of only ninety girls — tough on the gals. After the mad scramble by the Greeks to find something to put a pin on, we have that great, upright and honorable matter of electing class officers. We are extremely happy to state that there wasn ' t a sign of political combination or the usual political corruption in these elections this year. This was especially true of the senior class. Still, we wonder why members of a cer- tain sorority couldn ' t hold their heads up for some time after the affair was over. Somewhere among this mess came the election of a student body president, who in the past has been one of three nominated from the Senior class, voted on by the student body. This year the plan was changed when certain organizations lost out in the Senior nominations, and knowing they couldn ' t win they supported a non-fraternity man who was put up by them at the last minute under their new system. He was elected. Since the election and all through the year, his Honorable High- ness has boasted of being elected without a trace of assistance from any organization; that it was the only straight election ever held at Centenary, and that he was elected purely on merit. We would like to ask who nominated him? Who moved the nominations close before any further nominations could be made? Who seconded this move? Enough people know the answer with- out going to the trouble of stating it here, but if you are still in the dark, ask His Highness once more. Perhaps he has repented since he received such hearty applause on arising to conduct Chapel one day. Another event worthy of note was the Football Sponsor contest. We heard long and loud protests from the mystic order of Pan-Hellenic and especially did members of one organization protest that it was against the sacred laws of this great order, and couldn ' t under any circum- stance be broken. We find this same organization, that protested with such vehemence against breaking a sacred rule of the royal order early in the year, being the first to break its rules for its own benefit later on, and paying a fine with hard-earned money. It might be well for mem- bers of this great order to stop and think before refusing to support campus activities that are promoted by the publications to increase interest and benefit the school materially. The publi- cations might cause said order untold troubles if this policy is pursued in the future. s • PAGE 172 • The Yoncopin, 1933 ' i Things moved along, and the year progressed as smoothly as the wind passes through the boughs of our beautiful trees on the campus, — then all of a sudden the Conglomerate staff set off a ton of dynamite in the midst of all this tranquil peace and beauty. Without warning, they set an early date for popularity elections. We heard cries from all quarters of the Greek community, such as: It isn ' t fair; we haven ' t made our combinations yet ; the banks are closed and we can ' t get any money, so you ' ll just have to put it off ; It wouldn ' t be right to hold it now, etc., etc. The elections went on, and those who cried no combinations and no money came up with iron-clad combines and dimes by the sacksful, and they were brazen enough to openly buy votes without a moment ' s hesitation. Others did use a little discretion and took cover behind buildings, bushes, cars, etc., to do their politic-ing. Next year, we ' ll give you time to have posters printed, with terms of vote-buying and everything printed on them. We wonder what happened to an- other woman ' s organization, — they failed to get a place. Our Winchell says only one-half of their own members voted. Girls, is that keeping a contract? Oh, yes! Another organization we know of refused to put a certain girl up to participate in the beauty contest, because, we suppose, that some back numbers in the chapter were jealous. Anyhow, your dear ole Yoncopin staff picked her, and so did the wise judge. Now, watch the girls boast of what they did, and be the first to take credit for something for which they deserve no credit and had absolutely nothing to do with. TRIO TAXI SERVICE OLD AND NEW CARS AVAILABLE FOR SHORT TOURS Long and Short Stops made at the following points on the Campus: Arts Building parking space, the Girls ' Dormitory and that Romantic Spot under the Pines in front of the Rotary Dormitory. We never miss a passenger even if it means breaking a date. PHONE (TOO WELL-KNOWN TO MENTION) • PAGE 173 • The Yoncopin, 1933 s SOCIAL LIFE Well, the old School ' s social activities started off with a bang — or at least we heard a report. And thus began open season on debutantes, social climbers (cousins to the porch climbers of Sing Sing) and members of a certain sorority, the name of which is too obvious to mention, who went out for big game only; in fact, they went out altogether. However, they didn ' t have to play solitaire very long, as their brother frat, the Fraternity of the South, that refuses to ac- knowledge a chapter above the Mason-Dixon Line, submerged for the third time in the social swim. So, without much deliberation, the two got together, tilted their nostrils, and started snoot- ing anyone they could get to look at them. Then came a deluge of afternoon teas, a few outstretched rubbers of bridge, and rummage sales given in honor of everyone on the campus the} ' could think of except Jim the Janitor, who, knowing the organizations as he does, deemed it a compliment. The good folks of the local col- lege slaved so hard at these affairs that even the tea felt the strain and the whipped cream was all worked up. Soon the preliminary bouts were over and the gong sounded for the Centenarv Merry-go-Round. Everyone began chasing someone whom they thought might be raters or among the elite in a mad passion of social climbing. However, they discovered that they were going in an endless circle, and only rated in their own estimation. So, when they took stock of themselves, they found they had sold short. This placed the bunch on its own rock-bottom level, which made it hard on the members thereof. Then, since they couldn ' t go any lower, thev tried to stage a come-back in a daze time, and knowing that dazies won ' t tell, the bells chimed in and tolled. This put them far ahead in tin social whirl, thereby tieing the score with an even o. One of our fair young maids got social register and cash register somewhat confused, think- ing that by putting money in it she could cash in on e pluribus unum, but the only tag she could ring up was the No Sale sign. Finally the struggle of getting nowhere fast was lessened after several severe transfusions had introduced a little blue blood on the campus. Thus was the finish of the year ' s social ambitions and a couple of our best students. • PAGE 174 • The Yoncopin, 1933 1 fc-y Tut Binrn nnhbiH t,n . f f i -Dor THEN it Oosr A ' -T ur THEN it C ' osr I f I jy ' %M PR CT,e LLV NoTHWlC- x 4 ?r r S-TftKT MooseKeePMC.- hua JtitoSllsiAua • PAGE IV 5 © BULLEVE OR NO 1.

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! Ye Royal Senate is now in Session. On the bright and shining morning of April 26th in the year 1933, the colossal, the stupendous, the magnificent Student Body Senate met for the first time in Centenary ' s history — presided over by none other than his Royal Highness, the Student President. The Senate began that astounding forty- five minute session that was to rock the walls of Centenary for weeks, or maybe years, to follow. The rocking came from laughs from the faculty and students who know Centenary ' s position in regard to certain problems. The first great laugh handed ye ole Donkeypin Editor was the appointment of an entertainment committee. Pray, dear Senators, give us the light. What is the entertainment committee for? If providing entertainment is its purpose, it is not necessary; for the body ' s own actions are quite amusing. The next step taken was really too pathetic to be laughed at. It con- cerned dancing. The Almighty Senate is going to ask the Board of Trus- tees to come out and confer with IT on the question of dancing. This part • PAGE 178 • is really a funny matter and can be laughed at, but the other side of the matter isn ' t funny in the least. Here we have a faculty group favorable to dances on the campus, doing all it can to make them permissible; and just when the stage is all set for the curtain to go up on dancing, a group of students, supposed to be the thinking students of the school, under the leadership of His Highness, the Student President, get all-powerful and ask a conference with the Board of Trustees on the matter of dancing. Ye Donkeypin editor feels sure the Board of Trustees will deem it a great honor to meet with the jolly young senators and their entertainment committee. Yes, it is truly a day of miracles, and the lofty mountain will move down in the valley to confer with the mighty mole hill. Next came a motion from none other than His Highness, the Student Prexy, to kill student publications by doing away with the fee system. This was defeated unanimously. Forgive him, fellow students, for he knows not what he does. Look behind the scene — the environment, in our opinion, is responsible. His landlord (if you know where he rooms) is also in favor of such a move. So the matter is accounted for by the landlord, whose class- room speech in opposition to the Administration request that students have their pictures made for the year book and college records is well known. After all, Student Senate, you can do good if you ' ll watch your step, use your head, take up only matters that concern you, investigate situations before plunging head-first into them, and, above all, think twice before making rash decisions on important matters.
