L. Biedenharn, Chairman John B. Atkins Homer H. Norton A. M. Shaw, Jr., Faculty Representative ATHLET CEN The greatest year in the history of athletics at Cen- tenary College was completed w!th the ending of the 1933- 34 season. Under the expert tutelage of varsity coaches Norton and Parker and freshman coaches MurfT and Al- lums, the representatives of the Maroon and White have made for them:e!ves and the co ' lege a record which will go down in the annals of athletics at Centenary. Football first assumed the spotlight with another un- defeated season, twelve games and no defeats, making the string of undefeated games run to twenty-one in two con- secutive seasons. Geisler was the unanimous choice of all major authori- ties for all-American and was given first place by all ex- cept one. Smith and Oslin also won all-American honor- able mention and national recognition. This was made possible by the excellent support of a great team. The Gents again went through a successful basketball season, winning ten conference games and losing none. They were disqualified from defending their championship due to the ruling of ineligibility of a player. Coach Homer H. Norton, who has given Centenary a grid team that any school would be proud of, has won national recognition for Centenary and Shreveport. TIFFIN GIGLIO 72 O AT TENARY Coach has been with Centenary College fourteen years, eight years as head coach. The secret of his sue cess has been the loyalty he has created in the players. He has also endeared himself, not only to every student oi the college, but to the town as a whole. It is with regret that we see him go to Texas A. and M. next year, where he has signed as head coach. Coach Curtis Parker, basketball coach, assistant foot- ball coach and head coach-elect, has been with Centenary since 1926. Coach Parker has also served as football scout in the past and has been indispensable in picking weak- nesses of opposing teams. His ability as a scout and as a line coach has been a big factor in the success of Centen- ary football teams. Coach has also turned out champ- ionship-calibre basketball teams for the past two seasons, winning ten conference games this season and losing none. We welcome Coach Parker as head coach at Centen- ary, to which post he has been named with the unani- mous approval and good will of all concerned. CURTIS PARKER Head Coach-elect SMITH HOPE LAHEY KELLAM 73 CENTENARY ' S UND The greatest group of Gen- tlemen in the history of Cen- tenary in spirit as well as record, closed the 1933 sea- con, having played twelve games without any defeats, continuing the brilliant show- ing of 1932. Injuries and malaria rid- dled the Gents roster, respect- ing neither regular nor re- serve, but the morale never wavered. Coach Homer Norton de serves due credit for his ex- cellent work in producing one of the greatest teams of the nation, from the remainder of the 1932 squad, and for rebuilding his team so expertly whenever adversities lay in his path. Coach Curtis Parker, whose worth as a football coach is a proved and undoubted fact, has taken over the coaching reins as head coach for Centenary beginning with the 1934 season. Coming directly from Arkansas University, where he was an outstanding athlete in all lines of sport, he has eight years of coach- ing experience with the Gentlemen. Parker was the second man in Arkansas University to letter in three major sports, the first being Renfro, present assistant coach for the Gents. Parker, besides being a coach of unlimited football knowledge, is a marked basketball coach, having turned out an outstanding cage team every year. COACHES RENFRO AND PARKER 74 EFEATED GENTS Q33 In selecting the assistant coach for future gridiron campaigns. Coach Parker has chosen E. T. Ren- fro, an outstanding athlete from Arkansas University and a successful coach from Jonesboro A. and M., now Arkansas State College. Parker and Renfro are old friends of college days at Arkansas Univer- sity, where both made outstanding records in athletics. Renfro was chosen as the most brilliant field general in the Southwestern Conference and gained national recognition during his career at the Razor- back school. The impressions of Renfro with Centenary, and Centenary ' s impressions of Renfro have been more than favorable and the combination of Parker and Renfro is expected to not only continue Centenary ' s rreditable record in athletics, but to uphold the morale in athletics at the college. With such spirit as the Gentlemen of Centenary ex- hibited this year, and with a head coach such as Curtis Parker at the helm, the Gentlemen are destined to reach greater heights of athletic excellence in the held of big-time competition scheduled for the future. E. I. Grits Davis, business manager of athletics at Centenary during the past season, has shown himself to be a capable and conscientious member of the athletic depart- ment. Grits has endeared himself to the college, as he had already done with the city of Shreveport as a busi- ness man. Always interested in athletics, since the days when he performed, he has taken a decided interest and pride in the honors won by the Gentlemen. He has been on the job at all times. E. I.

Paul Geisler, Centenary ' s brilliant gridiron Hoss, won the honor of being placed on the leading Ail-American teams for 1933. . . . With a truly great ability in diagnosing opponents played, a constant threat as a pass receiver and a bulwark on defense, Geisler ranks among the greatest ends in gridiron history. Geisler made all of the major Ail-American first teams ex- cept Colliers, which placed him on the second team. 76 . S Harold Shorty Oslin, the diminutive haltback, scored in eight games, and was the high scorer tor the season. His speed, change of pace, and uncanny ability as a broken field runner, in addition to an invincible spirit, makes Oslin a man possessing all the qualities neces- sary for selection on any Ail-American team. Manning Smith, stellar quarterback for three seasons, won national recognition and All-American honorable mention by his brilliant field generalship.

GENT ' S COMPLETE GRE LOUISIANA NORMAL Naturally exhibiting signs of nervousness and an early-season lack of smoothness, the Centenary grid- iriin warriors defeated the Demons of Louisiana Normal, 18-0, in the first game of the 1933 season. Confining their offense to straight, steady football and showing flashes of what later proved to be the most invincible defense in history of Centenary football, the Gents easily quelled whatever threats the Demons produced. The burden of the offensive rested on the capable shoulders of the Cents ' three big guns, Smith, Oslin, and Geisler, each scoring a touchdown, while standing out on defense were Baker, Harper, and Wilson. HENDERSON Going into their second game of the ' 33 season, the Gents displayed a decided improvement both on offense and defense, overwhelming their opponents from Ar kansas, the Henderson State Teachers, by the score of 27-0. The Gents showed a more varied attack than against Normal, gaining consistent yardage through the air and around the ends. Scoring two touchdowns apiece, Smith and Os- lin proved to be Centenary ' s leading ground-gainers. Henderson, although battling valiantly, were decidedly outclassed and the play, for the most part took place in the Teachers ' territory. BAYLOR Successfully protecting their long record of uncrossed goal line, the Cen- tenary Gents brought their old enemies, the Baylor Bears, down in defeat during the first major contest of the year, by the safe margin of three touchdowns. The victory was written by the fleetness of Harold Shorty Oslin, the power driving of Geisler, and the craftiness of Smith, which together proved to be too much for the fighting Baylor Bears. Smith scored twice, as Oslin scored one touchdown. Baylor showed a strong defense throughout the game, as well as a threatening offense, yet failed to produce an individual star. WILSON 30 Running, side-stepping, twisting, sprinting — Oslin. M SEASON FOR 1933 L S. U. Playing on foreign soil for the first time during the season, the Centenary Gents, supposedly the under-dog, reached the highest pinnacle of excellence in every phase of football, when they played the ferocious Tiger of Louisiana State University to a scoreless draw at the mammoth L. S. U. stadium under the arc-lights. Both teams threatened to score at intervals throughout the game, but neither was able to put across the final drive. The battle consisted largely of a punting duel between Smith and Michael, with neither showing a decided advantage. Probably the greatest individual defense ever before seen on a gridiron was displayed by Oslin. Time and again, the Gents ' diminutive speed demon was the only obstacle between the hard-charging Tiger backs and the Gents ' goal-line, yet not once did Shorty fail to come through successfully, giving a marvelous exhibition of defensive skill to approximately 20,000 tense and excited fans. TEXAS U. Immediately following their history-making epic against L. S. U., the Gents journeyed to the land of the Longhorns, where they played the strong Texas University eleven to another scoreless draw on the Texas field in San Antonio. The game was featured by what was perhaps the greatest goal- line stand in football. In the last few seconds left to play, the Gents, by virtue of an off-side penalty, were pushed back to the one yard stripe, first down, goal to go. Even as the final gun sounded, the crowd was gasping in the stands as a defensively superb Gentleman held off an en- raged Longhorn a mere six inches from victory. During the first half, the heart-breaking experi- ence of having a touchdown called back due to an off-side presented itself, to throw a cog in an erst- while smooth-working football machine. On an off-tackle play, Smith went over but was called back and the Gents were penalized for off-sides. The following attempt failed to score and the Gents lost what might be called their golden opportunity. AMES 81 u w u u (I u u W II « u II II « MORGAN | Smitty shows the boys from A. and M. how it ' s done — in preparation for his duties there next Fall on the coaching staff. T. C. U. Although decisively outplaying their Texas opponents, the Gents were unable to put forth the extra punch for a score when, for the third consec- utive time in three weeks, they played to a scoreless deadlock against the T. C. U. Frogs in the Fair Grounds stadium. Again, as in the Texas U. game, the Gents had a touchdown play called back, due to a penalty. Os- 1 i n, in the first quarter, got loose off-tackle and raced sixty-five yards to cross the Frog goal line and score the only touchdown of the game, which was ruled no-good due to holding. All throughout the game, the Gents demonstrated a superior brand of football, most of the game being played in the Frogs ' territory. Smith, Centenary ' s great field-general, dominated the Gents ' offensive, exhibiting a versatility of skill rarely found in one man. The scoreless tie again presenting itself in the Gents ' camp was reason enough for the appropriate dedication, You ' re getiin ' to be a habit with me. TEXAS A. M. Displaying a brilliant and much improved offensive as well as a stub- born defense, the Gents ran up the astounding score of 20-0 over the Texas Farmer. Oslin again proved to be the individual star as he raced 74 yards through the entire A. M. team, at one time and forty yards another to score touchdowns. Geisler scored the other touchdown, being on the receiving end of an almost impossible pass from Smith. It was just an- other case of too much of The Three Musketeers, Oslin, Smith and Geisler. The Aggies offered a scoring threat several times, but were soon stopped by the strong Gent defense. UNION With the first string eleven being retired to the se- curity of the bench after the first quarter, the Cen- tenary reserves romped to an easy 47-0 victory over Union University Bulldogs from Jackson, Tennessee. The game was featured by a brilliant 77-yard jaunt by Orville Justus, a speedy reserve half, coming into the game for Oslin. Glumac and Sellers also showed up well, bearing the brunt of the Centenary offense during the latter part of the game. At no time were the Gents in serious danger, presenting a stubborn forward wall defense and a smoothly clicking offense. SELLERS 82 WILLIAMS BAKER S. M. U. Marching on toward another undefeated season, the Gents again came through with a 7-0 victory over the S. M. U. Mus- tangs. Most of the game the teams seemed fairly well matched, but the superiority of Smith, Oslin, and Geisler constantly stood out. Oslin ' s nineteen-yard sprint was the only tally of the game. S. M. U. presented a strong aeria l attack, as expected, with Fuqua, local boy, on the receiv- ing end of most passes. The defensive work of Stacks and Weidman in breaking up passes was outstanding. Wilson, S. M. U. back, raced seventy yards for a touchdown early in the game, but was called back due to a penalty, which relieved the Gents followers very much. A special feature of the game was the constant battle between two great ends, Fuqua and Geisler. MISSISSIPPI A beautifully executed forward pass, well over the head of a defen- sive Centenary half, spelled doom to the truly great record of an un- crossed goal line in thirteen pigskin contests, when the Gents defeated the Mudcats of Mississippi by the slim margin of 7-6, played on alien territory in Jackson, Mississippi. Ole Miss ' s score came in the beginning of the second quarter, a six- point lead that assumed mountainous proportions as the whistle blew for the half. Coming back in the second period, a different and inspired Centenary Gentlemen met the spinning intricacies of the Ole Miss War- ner system. Displaying an extra drive and punch, the Gents launched a determined drive for the Mississippi goal line. With Smith, Oslin and Geisler, the mainstays of the Centenary offense, the Gents brought the ball from the 50-yard line to the Ole Miss 8-yard line. From here, an exchange behind the line, from Smith to Oslin, provided the necessary punch for a touchdown. From the accurate toe of Manning Smith came the extra point that won the ball game, 7-6.

It was one of the greatest exhibitions of courage ever produced by the Gents. Carrying on without Smith and Oslin, who were forced out early in the game with injuries, they continued to win praise and honors. Glumac and Geisler ' s great playing stood out for the Gents. Oslin returned later in the game to score again, running through the entire Wolf line. The Wolves displayed the greatest offensive team sent against the Maroon and Winter ' s during the season. Their line, as well as their backfield, was heavy and fast. THE DIXIE CLASSIC — ARKANSAS Climaxing their brilliant season with a 7-7 tie with the University of Arkansas, unofficial champions of the Southwestern Conference, the Gents finished their season for the second consecutive year undefeated. Playing most of the battle without the service of their brilliant quarter- back, Smith, the Gents fought a stubborn battle throughout the game. Arkansas scored in the second quarter on a 27-yard pass, Murphy to Geiser, who stepped the remaining five yards to be one of the few who had crossed the Maroon and White goal line in twenty-one games. The Gents soon came back to even the score. A 37-yard run by Oslin placed the ball well past mid- field. From here, the Gents ' diminutive speed-demon again came through, taking a pass from Smith on Arkansas ' 5-yard line and galloping across for a score. Geisler proved to be an all-American, with his great defensive work, as well as with his powerful offensive drive. He was shifted to the backfield several times, and once got away for a 29-yard gain. In the line, the work of Wilson, Baker, Binion, and Waters was outstanding. ' V : . BINION 84 i 1 PROSPECTUS, 1934 J Coach Curtis Parker probably faces the r hardest task in major football in the 1934 season, coming into high command after two consecutive undefeated seasons and the graduation of ten lettermen. The law of averages is bound to overtake the Gents. Men like Smith and Oslin in the backrield, and Morgan, Geisler, Brown, Waters, Wilson, Blakemore, Ames, and Young in the line, cannot be lost without the STACKS ' oss being felt severely. Each helped the morale and general attitude of the team with their fighting spirit. Coaches Parker and Renfro seemed to be well pleased with the spring training and the general attitude of the club, but inexperience will probably be the greatest obstacle to overcome. One letter man returns at end, Stacks, who proved to be a great scrapper. The tackles are well taken care of by Baker, Binion, and Guillory. No guards will return and this seems to be one of the greatest worries to the coaches. At center, Williams returns, but the old injury to his knee makes the probability of his being counted on rather uncertain. Backfield men to return are Weidman, Parker, Townson, Glumac, and Sellers. These are the letter-men. Other promising candidates for the ' 34 squad are: Ends — Serra, Parker, Puryear, Horak, Hooper; Tackles — Langley, Thompson, Decker, Waller, Prestidge, Riner; Guards — Holman, Haygood, Beard, Robinson, Johnson; Center — Frizzelle, Burgess, Stokes; Backs — Justus, Crowther, Stallcup, Burch, McCorkle, Mozach, Mitchell, Hancock, Green, Fulmer, Drennan and Webb.

Their reward is in knowing that their efforts count greatly in producing an outstanding team. In fact, many of the Centenary luminaries received their training as reserves and later developed into outstanding and capable members of the varsity squad. Those who know what it takes to produce a championship team realize the value of those who are listed among the reserves. Too much praise cannot be heaped upon the shoulders of these loyal gentlemen who made possible the undefeated season of 1933- The minds of the coaches rested better the past season, knowing that should any varsity man be lost to them a capable and willing reserve was ready to take his place. And the work of the varsity men was intensified by the fact that each regular knew a reserve was crowding him for his berth. The adage that no team is stronger than its reserves was certainly applicable to the 1933 undefeated Centenary team. ?0 s 1,9 34 voncop in , FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The 1933 Freshman football team, under Coaches Ralph Murff and Sheeny Allums, pro- duced plenty of promising gridiron material for the ' 34 varsity, showing up well throughout a hard schedule. Starting two weeks before the fall term, the yearlings were put through stiff workouts, drill- ing continuously on blocking and tackling, work- ing into condition for the opening game. Serving as shock troops for the varsity squad, the Junior Gents gained valuable experience and un- der the critical eyes of the two coaches, Murff and Allums, showed much improvement at the close of the season. For next year ' s prospects the Freshmen produced many promising ball players, both in the backfield and line. In Howard Hooper, from Bastrop, the Gents have a promis- ing candidate for the terminal positions for 1934. At tackle the Junior Gents have Preston Thomp- son, a big rangy man, well over 200 pounds, as effective offensively as on defense. He also handled the kicking for the Freshmen, booting ' em long and consistently. Wally Hohman from Chicago and Biddie Robertson from Haynesville, make a pair of guards well worth considering for varsity material in the future. At center, Burgess from Mansfield, gave a creditable showing. The out- standing backs were Les Cohan, Chicago, at quarter; Green, Minden, at half; Han- cock, Alexandria, at quarter; Mozach, half, from Granger; Mitchell, from Rayville, at half, and Blackburn at full. Before the season ended, a few had to drop out, yet almost the entire squad reported to Coach Curtis Parker, the new Head Coach, for spring training.

O N T H E The Centenary Basketeers assumed probably the most hectic season ever undertaken by any basketball team. Coach Curtis Parker issued his call for candidates in December, and a few days later, a New Year ' s football game was scheduled in Dallas, taking all the regulars, except one. They opened the season with Stephen F. Austin, barely- coming out on top, then dropped a couple of games to Texas A. M. After this they turned back to football and played the great Dixie Classic. Immediately after the New Year ' s game, the boys hurried on the train and rode over 900 miles, without stopping, to open their mid- west barnstorming tour in Green Castle, Indiana. The Gents made a very creditable showing on this tour and ome to win ten consecutive conference games and not losing any. 5 packed up and went to Jackson for the S. I. A. A. tournament to defend their title as They drew a bye in the first game, and about thirty minutes before their first game of nent they received news that one of their players had been declared ineligible, automati- iting the Gents from further cage competition in the S.

The members of the squad and coach were practically heartbroken, but displaying the true Centenary spirit, they took it on the chin like gentlemen. Under the tutelage of Coach Sheeny Allums, a vet- eran from the ' 33 championship cage squad, the Centenary freshman basketeers completed a successful season on the hardwood courts during the past season. Although not competing in an organized league, the freshmen main- tained an undefeated record throughout a comparatively hard schedule against some of the strongest high schools and semi-pro teams in the state. At the beginning of the cage season, approximately 30 candidates reported and were suited up. For two weeks, Coach Allums devoted attentions to fundamentals and light workouts against the varsity. Later, plays patterned after those of the varsity, were worked on, giving added strength to the offense. The com- bination which saw most action throughout the season were Murphey and Durham, forwards; Hooper and Thompson, guards, and Decker at center. Others who showed promise for future Gent cage mate- rial are Cowboy Hohman, Mason, Burgess, and Majors. Freshman Coach Allums • S 93 William s Matthews Skrra Harper Stallcup Blakemore Gibson, Trainer FRED WILLIAMS, Guard— Although out most of the season, proved himself to be a very capable and dependable man under fire. This is Williams second year on the varsity. He should come through nicely next season. JIMMY SERRA, Forward — His exceptionally good eye for the basket, and steady floor work were enough to win him a starting place. This is Serra ' s sophomore year. CLYDE STALLCUP, Guard— A fast thrinking and speedy player, Stallcup enjoyed a successful season, being high in the scoring. He has another year on the varsity. JOHN HENRY BLAKEMORE, Guard— A cap- tain Blakemore was acclaimed as one of the great- est guards in history of Centenary basketball, and by many as among the greatest defensive guards in the South. COULTER MATHEWS, Forward— Again the most outstanding performer and high scorer for the Gents, Mathews game is featured by smooth, fin- ished floor work and an accurate eye. He will be missed next year. MARSE HARPER, Center— Another center of Har- per ' s ability will be hard to find. An exception- ally valuable man under the basket and a constant scorer from the field, the tall center will be hard to replace.

He will be hard to replace next season. BREON MARSE, Trainer — Peanut was always on hand to do anything which was necessary. A hard worker and a great help to the team. HAROLD OSLIN, Guard— Although kept out most of the season due to football injuries, Oslin always was a mighty force on the court by his speed. He will be hard to replace.

Some progress has been made, and with cooperated effort in the future such an ideal shall be realized. It is the purpose (it the W. A. A. to promote such pro- grams of athletic activities for all girls as shall meet their needs and interests. Working toward this end, competition has been indulged in during the year, stressing enjoyment of the sport and the development of good sportsmanship and character rather than the making or breaking records and winning championships. Such sports as Basketball, Volley Ball, Swimming, Track, Tennis, Soccer, and Base- ball have been presented to the Physical Education Classes and climaxed by Class Competition. The Class of 1936 seems to be of championship caliber as none of the other classes have been able to best them in any of the sports thus far participated in. With such a class to build around, it looks very promising for a winning basketball combination next year.

The squad got off to a slow- start because of inexperience, but the girls were soon working well together. Such teams as Boss- ier, Greenwood, Charity Nurses, and Meadows Draughon were played. Experience was gained which will stand the girls in good stead when firing begins on the basketball line next winter. However, win or lose, the girls were in there fighting with the typical Centenary spirit. They accepted victory or defeat with true sportsmanship. The selection for the basketball varsity includes Rose Lynne Connell, Harriotte Smith, Margaret Jane Taylor, Margaret Hope, M. D.

They have proven themselves recitalists of unusual ability who have given sympathetic and well-balanced readings of the best in two-piano literature from the works of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Cesar Franck, Liszt, Debussy, MacDowell, Strauss, Infante, Parrish, and Saint-Saens. Much of the success of this ensemble is due to their instructor, Le Roy Carlson, who with consummate skill has not only trained them in technic, but guided them in intelligent and artistic interpretations. During the past season they have given a fifteen-minute program of two-piano music every Friday evening over KWKH. Their entire repertoire is played from memory. A number of professional engagements have been secure d for next year throughout Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. Both Miss Scales and Miss Carlton are seniors and will, this year, receive their degrees in music. Miss Scales is vice-president of the Maroon Jackets, is a member of Eta Sigma Chi, honorary scholastic fraternity, is an honor roll student, has served as president of her sorority, Alpha Xi Delta, and is a most active member of the Tre Corde music club. Miss Carlton is a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority, is press correspondent for the Cen- tenary music school, has for three years written the annual May fete presented at Centenary College, and during the past year wrote the libretta for the operetta, Louisiana, which was presented by the Centenary School of Music and the Federation Clubs of Shreveport. 147 V i 19 34 Yoncop in j ■ Top: Hanner, Lee, Quattlebaum, Oden, Fields, Caplis Center: Pyle.

Th e member- ship is composed of an equal number of representatives from each organization and the presi- dency rotates each year. The Pan-Hellenic has rulings governing all sorority activities, includ- ing rushing, pledging, initiating, fines, and social activities, and the council is subject to call meetings at any time the president sees fit. Due to the careful governing of the Council, sorority difficulties are practically eliminated and a harmonious feeling is created among the Greek let- ter groups.

The freshmen listened and were rev- erently awed. Sophs stifled yawns, and Juniors slept peacefully on. The Seniors were five paragraphs ahead of the speaker by the time his speech was ended. Next came that wild period of coke buying and nickel spending known as rush season. Rushees stared in open-mouthed wonder. . . . Oh I ' Tivas heaven to be treated thus by upper-classmen. After pledge day, however, said rushees discovered that war had been declared. Sherman was right. There were some happy faces and some sour ones among the members of the various Greek organizations after pledge day. After all it is most em- barrassing for some other club to turn up with a couple of your cinch pledges. Oh me] The worst is yet to come. We refer, of course, to the battle of the pledges. Who pledged who, how, and why? It seems that some gentlemen of the South accused the farmer boys of Wilkinson Street of unfair methods in pledging. The Rutherford Street boys then entered the battle on the side of the Southern gentlemen. This arrangement was due to the inability of one of the Rutherford boys to see further than the end of his nose, and as a result he was a mere tool of the Southern gentlemen. The other Greek organization, sometimes called the Association of Aged Editors, was a strictly neutral observer of proceedings. It turned out to be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Everyone was found guilty except the editors. Someone remarked that the editors were innocent or powerful slick. About this time the favorite indoor sport of Centenary began. Elections. The first election was a strictly private affair held by the band. As a matter of fact, it turned out to be a war of the fraternities. The gentlemen of the South were arrayed against the other three Greek organizations, and, as might be expected, the gentlemen of the South lost. It is strongly hinted that ilie winners of this election wish that they had not worked quite so hard. Following this there was another election. HOMECOMING QUEEN was the high-sounding title at stake. Politics worked out about as expected. Finally the great day of the Queen ' s reign arrived, much to the disgust of the losing gals organizations. Queenie did herself proud in being kissed by an ex-president. House, house, who ' s got a house? The gals organizations decided to stage their own private war since the frats had had one. A famous builder of country edifices happened to be passing through the city at the time so he was hired to design the Home for Aged D. B. S. ' s. Said house was finally com- pleted. Such a beautiful brown color I Then the organization made famous by their kidnap tactics retaliated by hiring the same designer to build their house. Since the completion of this house there has been a continual argu- ment as to which is the biggest and best. We are strictly neutral. We choose that beautiful structure reposing on our campus, and known as the commerce building. We have heard about when we build OUR house from the other gals organizations, but as yet we see no signs. Guess they are waiting on the architect employed by the other gals clubs. Then came joyous days of merrymaking. Christmas holidays. One of the best was the farmer from Wilkinson, who made a tuxedo disappear com- pletely. Some magician I Some fun ! And there was one of the Rutherford Street boys looking like he had swiped poppa ' s tux and it just sorta fit in spots. A gentleman of the South applied the best description. It seems that this gentleman stated that the boy from Rutherford Street looked like a new Ford with both doors open. Personally, we always think oi huge loving cups. During the holidays all of the boys took to riding in Black Maria in the wee, small hours. Some more fun! On New Year ' s Day there was quite a gathering of the student body in Dallas for the football game with Arkansas. The game ended in a tie and both teams seemed to be glad of it, but there were other events to enliven the trip. Yeah! We sneer at band members who make blind dates, and then OW OF 1934 run out because they do not like the dates. We have also been wondering about tne expression Dallas twelves. With the holidays over everyone settled joyfoully (?) down to work (??)i and comparing experiences during the holidays. Was 1 ? Was he handsome r And did my ma give me ? lou will please meet wan die raculty committee to discuss disbanding iraternities ana sororities at Centenary. 1 ep ! Those were the exact words on tne notices received by the Creeks. Arter much discussion, the Greeks decided that there would be no more dances given by organizations ot Cen- tenary, line ideals, my friends, hue ideals. i lungs were going along too peaceiully, so ye editor of ye Conglomerate annouunced a popularity contest. Ui course everything was tair and square in this contest. l here was no such thing as stufnng the ballot box, and vote buying, or combines, which things are seen in other schools. (_)1 course the indepe ndents never thought or soliciting votes at the polls. 1 he gal who was doing tne soliciting got her own vote and those of the other members of the independent ticket, x he Creek organizations reaped a nice crop ot favor- ites trom the dimes they sowed, as usual. Contest, contest, who will win the contest? Yep, another chance to politic. The ancient and honorable custom ot electing a May Queen next held the attention ot the student body. What we cannot understand is how five people can cast eight votes? It must be all right, because we know of two cases where the practice was freely admitted, and at least ten more not admitted. Whoops! More contests. This time it is for Voncopin Sponsor. There were only four candidates, but this number was soon cut to three. Our most sacred bunch of garlic to the gal who quit early in the race because of cold feet. Anyhow, this was one contest where winning or losing depended entirely on the ability of the candidate. Women in the boys dormitory ! At least that was the report given the president by one of the boys in the dorm. Lots of smoke, but no fire located. It turned out to be the bride in the womanless wedding presented by the freshmen at stunt night. Grunts, squeaks, and yells began to pour forth daily from the chapel. What is it? Just the band practicing for their tour. There seems to have been some rare occurrences on these trips, since those students who made them spoke such a strange language on their return. We present herewith a few samples. Why be quiet when you can holler whoopee! Zip! Burp! Pass the chicken. Don ' t care if I do. Who took that last ? Roach your mane, Nellie. If I had 90,000 votes, I ' d give them all to him. But enough of this. Should we allow our students to go on tours and have their minds affected in such manner? Just about this time we began to have a little warmer weather,, and the leaves and grass began to turn green. Ah! In spring a young man ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of what the gals have been thinking about all winter. Many a romance sprouted on our campus this spring, but we are afraid there is going to be an early frost for some of them from all indica- tions. Perhaps the most important happening at this time was one of our frats going high-hat. After due conference with the faculty, the boys from Ruther- ford have decided not to initiate any new members until January, 1935. Some snobs, eh, Rollo? Of course there is spring football. The boys are out there fighting for the love of deah old alma mammy, or Agnes, or Mary, or some other gal. Some of the boys evidently did not have the re- quired stuff, as the well-known suitcase parade has started. Well, so long until next year. Stuff your keyholes with cotton. Be sure you are alone before you say what you are thinking. Carefully turn all lights out before doing anything rash. The Donkeypin will get you if you don ' t watch out ! rW V .

THE DONKEYPIN GRAPH The Donkeypin offers for you a graph of the popularity of one of our more popular co-eds. This graph opens with the beginning of school in 1934. The first rise is the expectation of many and more pledges for her club, the sudden fall is the result of getting them. The next large rise is the result of the completion of the Z. T. A. house, but after the peak comes the fall and what a fall it was. The (Water?), light and gas bill came due. Well, after a short con- finement she recovered to return to even greater heights. The rise was steady and throughout the balance of the year till that sudden fall in May. One honor came after another — May Queen, Most Popular Girl, and then came the day of her reign — Oh, what a day! That fall had something to do with a male of some sort, and he didn ' t carry letters, either. 172 ?r sonW s° ' lovjl 3 Here we have gathered together a few of those males who have been bitten by the Honey Bee and in some cases not only bitten but partly consumed by the insect. The only reason that they can offer is the romantic atmosphere around the school and their romantic inner soul which compels them to have the companionship of one of the fairer sex. The nearby drug stores offer their approval, as their fountain business has increased steadily. 173 DONKEYPiN BEAUTIES Selected by Mrs HX Van Slii j Astorfelt The Donkeypin presents for your disapproval the Donkeypin Beauties. Selected by that well-known cattle judge, and auth sr of that recent bonk on the care of animals, Mrs. John Van Slip Astorfelt. The staff feels gratified in the selection of the beauties by Mrs. Astorfelt, as she is well qualified in this line of work. We were only able to secure Mrs. Astorfelt because of her desire for publicity. This well-known has recently returned from a cattle-judging tour of the west, where she stayed until the cows came home. After her selection of the beauties she departed for England to inspect the king ' s horses. In brief, Mrs. Astorfelt gave the following reasons for her selections: Grade A No. 13131313 was selected because of that distinguished type of pulchritude common in Hereford cattle. No. 3.2% was selected because of that mellow, innocent, burping type common to old billiard drinkers. Exhibit B No. cooo was chosen because of the profile made famous by Durante. Mrs. Astorfelt in her selection of No. 100 Proof and No. 8-3800-J stated that she selected them because of their latest Parisian coif- fures, which is the latest thing in the braiding id horses ' tails. No. 2264 ' _• possesses that type of beautv which is very uncommon (or common) in the decoration of the queen ' s mules. 74 Popularity Promoters We elect your candidate in any contest FRAT COMBINES OUR SPECIALTY For reference see any contest winner of this year KETCHUM FIXEM INCORPORATED Gici Palmer, President Mabel Kemp, lice-President Vance Hancock, Secretary Advice to the Love- Worn Can ' t you get your man?
