Tiring of the sameness of time-honored formal groupings of classes, organizations, and features, this year ' s Yoncopin has attempted two innovations. The first of these is a time se- quence in the make-up of the book. This presents the events of the college year in the sequence in which they happen so that they follow in logical order instead of being scattered Goes up... Prologue... at random through the book. In this way the history of the term is preserved intact so that it displays, even to the casual browser, an actual picturization of the activities of the year. The second alteration in the customary yearbook pro- cedure is a trend towards realism. Picture-snappers, make- up-designers, and scriveners have combined to show the col- lege, the campus, and the collegiate world as they actually exist instead of as they are visualized. They have attempted to select the representative in every case rather than the ex- ceptional so that their result would be an accurate and im- partial painting of Centenary College in 1937. Kaleidoscope oi an Unopened College T. READING on each other ' s toes, getting in each other ' s hair, grimely, purposely, savagely industrious is the little group which congregates early in September to beat the college in shape for the madness of opening and registration. Certain unmistakable characteristics label it as belonging to the branch of humanity known as American Collegiates . . . super-pressure salesmanship on the part of the publicity department as they emote, coax, and dramatize to show the sheeplike high school graduates how much they need Centenary . . . coveralled campus crewers banging nails, digging holes, and slinging bricks with a fine spirit of abandon resembling that of an itinerant cyclone . . . lean and hungry faculty members returning after their three months of vacation to settle down to installing distilled knowledge into undergraduate heads, reading over their lecture notes of last year with squeals and grunts of delight and disgust ... a small squad in the Bursar ' s office throwing up a typewriter barricade to rattle off rounds of alluring mail to prospective students while another tired and cynical group attacks the long double rows of red and black numerals in the huge, grey credit ledgers of the college. Thus mills the campus until, with the opening of school, it is lost in the larger motions of the student body. • Page 8 Our Bdckground i HE PANORAMA of college life is acted out before a background of stone and steel. Behind the varying hues and shades of student actions stand the solid whites and bricks of the silent buildings. They act as backdrops in contrast to the play which takes place before them. Almost oblivious of the existence of these ever-present campus features the students go their way, seldom stopping to con- sider or regard them. Yet they always stand, voiceless storehouses of knowl- edge, watching the surge about their feet. ■k J ' .•fli JW If the purpose of college is to bridge the gap between past and present then the buildings of Centenary serve that end. Tall columns of Southern Colonial merge with the simplicity of Modern Georgian. Together they represent the trends of thought in concrete, substantial form from different centuries. Sia ns O- HAKING out of the long dreamy slumber of summer the campus be- gins to show returning signs of life early in September. Although the hordes of laughing stu- dents have not yet re- turned to sprinkle them- selves over the grounds and into the buildings the college is unmistakably alive. of Life The pre-term activity of the campus-crew busily repairing and mending in preparation for the rush of registration, the office force industriously jotting figures on long ledger sheets, the janitors grin- ningly sweeping out the buildings and scraping gum from chair-bottoms — all make the campus a veritable bee-hive. fevco a pa a -5,.stS« ' .no- i raue- move A ario .lone- .Ibet tt s ' - a ebea; ;;;-;: edw ,w« r; ei; =?i: ; h«e  ' -rS see- Sottas a d Ttie ' vYiCi ' ' ttev aV aPPl;-,Y e e r ' taoY s: :; vea : j;.lY.e « l _ Yiave ones ute ' Yiera- J cdV ° sYieP Yie xuV oi ® ' ' Stldent BodY Officer.

Dobbs Chairman oi the Board Board of Trustees 1 HE Board of Trustees of the College under the capable direction of Bishop Hoyt M. Dobbs efficiently filled the position of advisory board to the college throughout the academic year of 1936- ' 37. Evi- dence of their worth is shown by the fact that the board membership has remained virtually unchanged for the past several years and that always the same helpful support and guidance can be ex- pected from them. Composed of prominent business and ecclesias- tical men, this group is one of the most active in backing Centenary in every enterprise, and well miight the students be proud of their con- nection with such men as these.

WRAY Page 16 Athletic Council A MERE four-man committee but an exceptionally busy one is the Centenary Athletic Council into whose hands the most important business of the year has fallen. No small part of the worry attendant upon the construction of the new athletic building was shifted onto their capable shoul- ders for they assisted the Building Committee in the supervision of this work. Together with this came the difficult task of guiding the college teams through a successful season as well as act- ing as a general advisory board for the physical education program of the entire college. Especially is the school indebted to the Shreveport business men who are members of this comi- mittee and though unaffiliated with the college have worked long and industriously in her serv- ice. It is indeed a great debt of appreciation that the school owes to John B. Atkins and George D. Wray as well as to O. L. Biedenhain, who recently retired from this board because of his ill health. Together with Coach Curtis Parker and A. M. Shaw, Jr., they have steered the college through a very successful year of sports events. John B. Atkins Chairman Curtis Parker A. M.

X HE AIR was filled with anything but joy when the faculty put in their annual appearance this year. Those who had vacationed were reluct- ant to start work, those who had starved were gloomy in remembrance of payless-pay-days, those who had stayed to teach summer school, verbal- ly jeered at both groups, while secretly they were slightly envious of the vacationers. All managed to screw up their faces in the semblance of cheer appropriate to the opening of school and every one was happy. Oh yeah. • Page 18 • Dr. George S. Sexton President Emeritus and Chaiiman of Public Relations, in his oifice at the new gymnasium. Doc George N. O ONE ' S voice rings more tirelessly, or, for that matter, more interestingly in the praise and support of Centenary than that of Doc George. One of the few men that the students accept as one of them, Doc George has spent seventeen years in the ser- vice of the college — twelve as President, four as Counsellor, and now as Chairman of Public Relations. It was really an occasion of celebration when Doctor Sexton took his office in the new gym to resume active service and again took his place on the campus as one of the fellows. Early in the year in speaking of his new post Doc told a reporter, Anything the kids want me to do is okay with me. I ' ll do anything from moving pianos to sweeping out the sewer. The Facultu Plot.

They make it unsafe for any experienced-looking stude to attempt to cross the campus without answering at least three Say, where is Jackson Hall? About the time that the Frosh footballers lose their locks, the other first-yearers ac- quire a veneer of what they consider worldliness. First indication of this is when the smallest member of the class comes to school self-consciously puffing a pipe which reeks with newness . . . final sign is when he hastily leaves a lecture, green-faced, and a broken pipe is later found on the steps of the building. Greeks screaming a strange jargon then fall upon the trembling newcomers and subject them to an ordeal by tongue. A week later foot-sore and ear-weary the poor, befuddled rushees wake to find themselves pledges of Gamma Damma. Then is when they get it in the neck (did I say neck?). Footfall season punts its way in and the Frosh again go into spasms of hero-worship. Tiny little babes gush around the campus with Wild Will Williams is in MY history class. Perhaps their little cardiac regions would not patter so wildly if they were told that Wild Will had been in every first-year his- tory class for the last five years and still hasn ' t passed. Homecoming finally ends the infantile period of the Freshman ' s life and the college can stop wearing the parental frown of worry and wearily sink back to rest ... at least for another year. • Page 26 The j Freshman Class Officers President Winfred Bynum Vice-President Mary Hamner Secretary Alvin Biriclebach With little or no trouble, the Freshmen Officers were installed. Chin- music characterized their election and candidates were put-up left and right, but nobody seemed to mind. Bynum ran off with the Presidency easily, as if it were a football, while comely Sis Hamner captured the Vice-prefix. Birklebach experienced slightly more difficulty in becoming Secretary as every one who had lost for the other two positions were running for this one. Securely balloted, wrapped and parcelled they finally were it, and nothing has been heard from them since the elec- tion. • Page 28 • Abington Adams Adsit Anderson Austermell Barnidge Beeman Bell BenioTd Best Bickharn Bland Block Eoddie Bott Boyd Blown Blown Brown Carter Cavanaugh Clark Collins Comegys CLASS OF ' 4 William Abington Grand Cane, La.

OOTBALL is great sport. Yes indeed, ask any cheerleader or fan. It ' s a nice clean sport. Ask any yelling spectator. It is also great fun. Ask the girl of the team ' s captain. In fact, ask anybody any thing about football except the players themselves. No sir, you ' d better not ' cause they ' re liable to disillusion you. One hulking brute might snort Sport, Huh! and then show you twenty or thirty scars ranging from the six inch one behind his ear to the little nick in his chin. Another could take you to see, and smell, the uniforms they wore that afternoon in practice and regard you with suspicion when you again refer to the cleanliness of the gridiron sport. Still another, if he wanted to, would merely biff you in the face, stomp on you and ask if THAT was fun. It ' s a nice game, that football. • Page 36 • Winifred Boles Bob Decker Roy Montgomery Edna Earle Richardson Our Pep Promoters . . . Give till it hurts! seemed the cheerleader motto of the year for that ' s just what they did. Elected on a strictly merit basis at the first of the term, they kept up the spirit which they showed in the prelim- inary try-outs and yelled themselves through a fine year of service. Lacking the cooperation that they deserved from the students, they carried on a four-lunged barrage of encouragement and pep. Notable in Chapel pep groups, out in front of football games, with the band and maroon shirt and skirt gangs they seemed everywhere at once. Amiable and courteous at all times were he-screamers Montgomery and Decker; attractive and animated, win or lose, were hen-screamers Richardson and Boles. This hard- working little quartet deserves the appreciation and admiration of the student body for their splendid job of pep-promoting through the school term. Things aren ' t going so well — (he cheer leaders go info a huddle Time for another yell; One, Two, Three Yea, Gents! Head Coach Curtis Parker The Coachino Head whip-cracker of the Centenary coaching staff was Coach Curtis Parker as he finished his eleventh year of association on the athletic line-up of the college. Coach came to Centenary in 1926, serving three years as Fresh- man Coach, then five as Assistant Coach, and at last as Head of the Centen- ary Athletic Department. No sissy when it comes to athletics himself; he lettered in football, basketball, and track at the University of Arkansas. Coach Parker has proved his instructing mettle by turning out exceptional football teams as well as champion basketball quintets. Newcomer to the coaching squad was Backfield-Coach Elmer Smith who is also an Arkansas product. Coach Smith previously served as athletic direc- tor at Hamburg High School and Hendrix College before coming to Cente- nary. An Oklahoman is Tom Cobb who acted as line coach for Centenary ' s non-ball-carriers. Professional football for four years finished off the knowledge which Northeastern Teacher ' s College gave him in the art of gridiron murder. Mothering of the Freshman was done by Sid Binion whose four years of athlet- ics at Centenary in both football and basketball has tempered him for the job. Mumble mouthed Hoot Gibson finished his tenth year as trainer and gen- eral conditioner of the Gents and is now considered a fixture along with the other gymnastic furniture. Breon Shorty Morse disguised under the nom-de- plume of Student Manager was really the flunky of the team and man of all work. The Coaches . . .

So This Is The proverbial visitor from Mars would get a strange impression of our world if he happened to land at a football game. He would probably first hold his whirling head, glance at the fighting players, hear the screams of the crowd, then hold his head again. For a moment he would shrink trembling against the nearest post and then suddenly, like a blush, a feeling of mad enthusiasm would flow through him and, ignorant of the purposes and ideas of the game, he would find himself swept away with mass energy and cheer with the strangers. Hoo( loads the bus at Tylei . . . Grandma Stone takes oil . . . Heads! . . . Hey, ma! Here comes the parade . . . Come on, Gents . . . Texas Aggies; final score 3-0. Guess who won! One, (wo, three — punt! . Here, here! Only pile on the op- ponents! . . . Coeds watch grid- iron passions. Foot. Odll One of the most unexplainable things of our present-day mad world is football. What is it which makes boys go onto a gridiron with white faces and stream- ing eyes to fight for the game? What is it which grips a thousand hearts and sends them singing Alma Mater? What is it that makes people forget every- thing for the moment in the thrill of lust, enjoymerit at a tough scirmish? No one word nor one book can answer that question. All that we know is that it is that about which the college of today is built, the unity which makes pos- sible educational institutions all over the world — College Spirit. The crowd roars . . .

Whoop it up: Noisy. The Centenary Gentlemen ushered in the football sea- son in gleeful fashion by stomping the Louisiana Col- lege Wildcats with a 21-0 victory. Scorer of the sea- son ' s first touchdown was curley-locked Charlie Drew Thomas when he dashed over the wildcat ' s goal-line with a smirk. Next in line was W. H. Stone when he also scored after a nice 36 yard run behind splendid interference. Al Beasley made the final addition as he touched the white line with a 25 yard jaunt. After having very decisively put the Louisiana College boys under, the Gents proceeded to repeat on. the Demons of Louis- iana State Normal to the tune of 20-0. The Centenary team filled the air with footballs to complete nine passes for a total of 199 yards and three touchdowns. Stone was on the tossing end to push the ball through the atmosphere to Hooper, Hoh- mann, Huddleston, Lingo, and Harris. LOUISIANA COLLEGE LOUISIANA STATE NORMAL A Gent crashing through the mid- dle against Not- mai K ■ ' S :1 L. Stokes Dean Robinson Thomas Beasley Warren Hooper Docker ILLINOIS WESLEYAN BAYLOR UNIVERSITY A blocked kick marred the unscored-on record of the Gentlemen when Illinois Wesleyan made a score in the Centenary victory of 21-7. Resentfully the team went into action with little Hud- dleston at the head of the attack closely flanked by Stone and Beasley. With excellent running interference and grand line work, the Maroon and Whites clearly outplayed their Northern opponents with the resulting three touchdowns to one as evi- dence of that. A tumble at the line is the signal for a scramble for the ball. Fall on it, is the cry. Keeping up their winning streak the Gents wrestled another win from the Baylor Bear with a score of 10-0 and a game tally of four victories and no defeats. The game was played amid the aroma of flowers before the great Rose Festival crowd in Tyler, Texas. After wiggling his great toe all summer in anticipation, Stokes got a chance to use it when he kicked his first field goal of the year in this game. This game marked the first that the Centenary team has played before a Rose Festival crowd and was quite a gala event. F VT The Gentlemen hieak through on Ole Miss. The bitter taste of defeat burned the tongue of the Gents for the first time of the season when the Tulane Green Wave swept over them for a 19-0 score. Bucky Bryan and his crew playing a brilliant brand of football proved too much for the boys. Twice Stone slipped and fell deep in the Greenie territory and they were able to convert those breaks into touchdowns. Bat- tred badly the boys were unable to stop those flash- ing end sweeps which were so damaging. Stone car ried most of the fine, but unsuccessful, attack. Aerial attack in the closing minutes of the game enabled the Arizona University Wildcats to tie the Gents 13-13. Again Stone carried the ball for the Centenary gridironers to gain 76 yards in 20 tries. However, the Westerners threw passes in the latter part of the game and came across that Arizonalike plain to tie the game. Not before they were forced to show just what cowboys were made of though to make the game fast and thrilling. TULANE UNIVERSITY ARIZONA UNIVERSITY stone Huddleston Bowerman TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI Waller Rawlinson Bradley- Second defeat of the season came when the Red Raiders ol Texas Tech roamed over the gridiron in Lubbock to get a rain- soaked score of 12-6. In a dripping rain the Gentlemen drew first blood but Tech soon got even with a touchdown drive. Though geographical neighbors the Texan and Louisianians tangled like foreigners until Tech marched for another score in the third quarter to win the game. Only touchdown for the Gents was made by waddlelegged Cowboy Hohmann. Down for the third time went the Centenary pigskinners when they met Mississippi ' s Rebels and sank in a 24-7 game. Until the final quarter the Centenarians had a 7-6 lead but soon wore down under the crushing power drives of Ole Miss. The Rebels seemed to have shaken the Mississippi mud pretty well off their feet to play a real game of gridiron chess. Jointly respon- sible though they were for the Gent ' s tally Stone and Huddleston still couldn ' t fight through the opposing line to make the winning touchdowns. Huddleston takes the ball for a nice gain before being downed. The Gents pass- ing game calls for fast action as this picture shows. Lee Stokes kicked a field goal in the last 30 seconds of the game to give Centenary a 3-3 tie with the Tulsa University Golden Hurricane. W. H. Stone was the main attacker of the Gent aggregation and in 29 tries gained 91 yards from scrimmage. The game was played in raw, blustery weather and the existence at Tulsa of an infatile paralysis epidemic cut the crowds attendance. Stone staged a personal drive from Centenary ' s 35 yard line to the 23 yard line. He outgained any other man on the field on either side. Sammy Bough and his group of Texas Christian Horned Frogs proved too much for Centenary and after a barrage of passes all over the field emerged the victor 26-0. Centenary outgained T. C. U. from scrimmage but were unable to cope with the flashy aerial attack put on for their benefit. Sam Ails, a converted tackle, played a fine game at one of the tackles until forced out of the game with a shoulder injury. Stone was the mainstay of the Gents attack and made several nice gains. Beasley got away for a 35 yard jaunt before being stopped. TULSA UNIVERSITY TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY i; . ge - - ' Ails Smith Haygood Morse Hohmann Burgess Zimmerman Gibson TEXAS A. M. OKLAHOMA A. M. Lee Stokes came through in the crucial moment to kick a field goal and thereby defeat the Texas A. M. Aggies 3-0. Bob Decker blocked an Aggie punt, and after a pass from Stone to Hooper, and with Huddleston holding the ball and a strong wind blowing in his face, kicked the ball squarely between the uprights for the lone tally of the game. The Aggies threatened several times but every time the Gen- tlemen were successful in staving off the thrusts. The Gentle- men made other threats to score but lacked the punch. The game marked the third successive defeat of A. M. by Centenary since Coach Homer Norton changed schools. Two Gentlemen bring down an Oklahoma Aggis after allowing him a very short jain. Before a large Thanksgiving Day Homecoming c rowd the Centenary Gentlemen successfully completed its schedule with a victory over Oklahoma A. M. 7-0. There was no score until the third quarter when Stone took the ball over for the tally. Beasley started the touchdown drive and successfully carried the ball from deep in his own territory to within scoring distance. Coronation ceremonies were held between halves. Ten of Centenary ' s players sang their swan song in this game and gave a good account of themselves.

Despite rumors to the con- trary the slings they usually wear their arms in are not the result of falling the two feet from the bench, but usually mementoes of a two hundred pound tackle hitting hard and in a none-too-friendly spirit. Love, kisses, and glory are just words to these under-recognized players and in reality they are a big part of the backbone of a good team.

Figuratively thumbing their noses at the Varsity, the Freshmen romped through their four game sched- ule without once having their goal line crossed. With three games to their credit and a scoreless tie when the season closed they were content to rest on their laurels until their Sophomore year when they ' ll get a shot at first-string positions. Opening in Texarkana the Junior Gents beat Texarkana Junior College 7-0 by Weenie Bynum making the first score of the year. Backed by Partin, Midkiff, and Jones on the defensive, Bynum proved him- self the spark plug of the team. Against Lamar Junior College the Frosh had a hard time getting away with a 6-0 score. Lamar proved to be a tough opponent and made the first-yearers earn their game with plenty of hard defensive play. Kilgore Junior College fell like lambs at the slaughter pen to the clinking of 20-0. Bynum got the crowd dizzy with his fine ball-carrying and got away wit h one touchdown run together with many nice gains. Manson pushed his toe in the hog-parchment for several spectacular punts. Louisiana Tech proved the toughest bunch of the season and after a sweating hour of busting heads the game ended 0-0, both teams having turned in an excellent performance.

W, ITH a great clashing of cymbals and beating of drums the Centenary College Band marched rhythmically on to bigger and better things this year in the way of a finer musical organization. Inno- vations were many, for in addition to their regular duties, the Maroon Jackets acquired snare drums and even learned to pound them with some degree of accuracy. This step enlarged the personnel by some twelve comely members, although how much it helped in a musical way is open to debate. Fur- ther feminine addition came with the appointment of Helen Rosenblath as the first girl Drum Major of the college, she, with Baton Twirler Horace Logan, led the Gentlemen ' s Band through a highly suc- cessful year. Expressive of this opinion a Fort Worth paper stated that The Centenary Band put on the most colorful between-halves performance ever seen on the T. C. U. field. Not content with this praise the Band earned more laurels by its special broadcast presentation at the Texas Centennial in Dal- las during the celebration of Shreveport Day there, and by other concerts at the Rose Festival in Tyler and at Tulane. The Band was accompanied by pretty Sweetheart-of-the-Band Martha Shepherd on all their football trips and Kollege Kapers tours. Their spectacular achievements this year are largely due to the efforts of one man, Doc S. D. Morehead, whose capable direction and hard work has made the Centen- ary Band one of the finest college organizations of its kind in the Ark-La-Tex area. The Band Personnel Director Dr. S. D.

Through a bedlam of election filth, through a hurricane of balloting, through an earthquake of poli- tics, through an avalanche of popularity came beautiful Annelle Hutchinson with royal grace to become Homecoming Queen of 1937. After coming through all this Queenly Nelly also went through the pomp, heat, and ceremony of the coronation with smiling, sweating, but unruffled dig- nity. On her white-washed dais of wood and tinseled throne of papier-mache she made a com- plete picture of what an ivory-bedecked, brunette-thatched, golden-crowned, pretty girl looks like when she is Queen and also Annelle Hutchinson.

Self-termed Beautiful Belles of the campus, the Maroon Jackets are twelve co-eds, representative of the sorority and non-sorority groups of the campus. Officially designated as Centenary hostesses the bereted, jacketed, ladies seemed omnipresent at every function of the college and student body. Apparently no fire-truck is the same without these young ladies draped over it, for they invariably clang down the parade street, precariously perched on one, clinging for dear life, and giving scared grins to the hoi-polloi. Of no mean mettle, also, was their newly introduced and partially learned drumming, for what they lacked in musical ability they made up with thundering gusto. Together with their shirted brethren they made the football trips loud, lusty, and louder. Mrs. a. R. Campbell, Sponsor Under the sponsorship oi Mrs. A. R. Campbell, Dean oi Women, this organization came into being several years ago, until now it is an established institution. Her work with this group has made it outstanding and no small part at the credit lor it is due to her. This represents only a portion ol the lim work Mrs. Campbell has done since she has been a member of the college faculty, and she is indeed worthy ot the sincere regard in which she is held by the students. fcSs. , • Page 56 • Tne Maroon Jackets .

At last this year, a group of enterprising young men decided that they would look good in red and, also, that shirts were cheaper this year than ever before. Thus came the Maroon Shirts. With fife and drum they assailed the campus and made a communistic colored row at the football games. Clamoring for attention, this group of five repre- sentatives from each fraternity and the non-fraternity bunch, stormed peppily throughout the year and did much to spike the usually uncontested glory of the pink-coated girls.

Alpha Sigma Pi Organizdtions M. , OST fruitful crop of the year is that of non-social organizations. At most any time of the term one can spy at least a dozen or so bursting into bloom and print. They almost invariably get their names in the paper, elect officers, meet once or twice, and disappear into thin air. Such has been the fate of countless hundreds which have vanished without even leaving a scent. However, those that do survive go on from year to year fostering interest and work in certain lines. It is this substantial group which can afford to be represented in the yearbook and which we present on the following pages. • Page 60 The Centenary Conglomerate With noble ambitions and high resolve the Conglomerate staff threw together [he first paper of the year. Apparently their aim was slightly crooked for they missed their mark by some pages of good copy. With little or less improve- ment they continued slinging paragraphs onto paper until just before mid-term. It was then that indignation about the boresomeness of Chapel reached its height. Donning armor the paper launched a popularly supported crusade against this maroon-striped dragon of misplaced oratory. After a brief and surprisingly effective controversy, success crowned the efforts of the by-now proud-chested staff. Its good-deed-for-the-year disposed of, the paper once more sank back into a stolid stupor and could not be aroused again until April Fool ' s Day — a peculiarly appropriate day for their awakening. With the traditional hey nonny nonny and a hot cha cha Blondie Carstarphen, Blubber Garrison, and Biddy Tiffin combined their respective brain to toss a green-inked offering of humor into the gaping mouths of the student body. With these two exceptions the Conglomerate has managed to pass a customary year of idleness and ignorant bliss.

Bearing up remarkably well under the new dignity imposed by their impressive titles, Paul Entrikin and Philip Stagg took over the hazardous task of publishing an annual for the coming year. All through the summer they were beseiged with folders, portfolios, letters, return postage postcards, and pamphlets extending hearty congratulations (condolences would have been more appropriate) and ask- ing if the Such-and-Which Printing Company might not be of service to them in the coming endeavor. After considerable dickering with various firms, and after volumes of literature had been exchanged, the Editors decided not to give their contract to any of them, but to entrust their precious volume to a local company instead. Came September, and the warning notice to Have Your Picture Made Now! began to blossom on the bulletin boards. The weekly deadlines were issued and postponed with increasing regularity, until finally the staff got tired of drawing posters and decided that they ' d really stick to it this time, with the result that about half the students hadn ' t had their pictures taken and began a mad rush to the studios for fear their handsome features might not grace the Yoncopin. Around January the cover was finally selected, after considerable bickering on all sides, and the staff relaxed into a pleasant coma. The winds of March brought faint murmurs to the ears of Ye Ed., who emerged from his hibernation period to listen — it was the printer asking for copy. Suddenly the realiza- tion slapped the co-workers on the yearbook full in the face that they had an annual to issue. What were they going to do about it? The pictures were the only thing ready — not a line had been written, and apparently there were no prospects of any being written. All the news that should have been typed and filed away after each im- portant event of the year, simply wasn ' t. All the bright ideas, weren ' t. And, apparently, the copy never was going to be. With the Yoncopin on its hands the staff had quite enough to do, without the additional worries of the sponsor contest, the trophy, and the football booklet — but s omehow they managed to survive them all. By thought (witness the chewed pencils, crumpled paper, cigarette stubbs, etc., which cluttered the office floor) the book was finally issued, and the staff retired to a quiet country estate to recuperate. After reading their feeble attempts at a light and airy style, the student body will probably need the same treatment, but anyway, we do have a Yoncopin.

Shirley Simmons Alpha Sigma Chi, the honorary chemistry fraternity, began its activities this year with a fixed and steady determination to accomplish something in a material way toward making the entire student body conscious of the wonders of science, as well as to further the in- terest of its own members in their chosen field. In order to make this possible, a fraternity lounge was created out of one of the rooms in Jackson Hall. Painted a vivid shade of green and orange and filled with the odor of hot, bubbling coffee each Wednesday morning during Freshmen chapel, it became the mecca of a large group of interested students who came to hear the scientific book reviews given by some member and to enjoy the hospitality of the fraternity. Other features of their program consisted in the sponsorship of a chapel program and the fostering of a reunion of all the alumni of the organization.

Beginning in the Fall with a seri es of lectures by prominent Shreve- port doctors, the fraternity, through the generosity of a donor, organized a private medical library, held meet- ings in their fraternity room, performed various ex- periments such as brain dissections and embryologi- cal tests, and through clouds of pipe smoke discussed pro and con the merits and deficiencies of modern medicine. Other outstanding events in their program included visits to the Caldwell Osteogenetic Clinic and the Pines Sanitorium.

The six privileged characters given bids were Helen C(K- ney, Marion Palmer, Jules Perot, Doris Dupuy, Eliza- beth Coker, and Virginia Doyle. They, with the five old members, form a select group — so select that you have to be a candidate for a Phi Beta Kappa Key be- fore you can pass through their sacred portals — which may account for the increasing scarcity of Alpha Chi ' s. Outside of initiating new members, their chief function is to present a worthy freshman with an engraved, leather notebook, and to act as an inspiration to indi- vidual effort and achievement. Only a small per- centage of students make the grade; but that is a good recommendation for the organization, unless it gets so good that nobody is eligible.

The purpose of the society is to offer suitable reward and recognition of scholarship among first-year students. Under the able guidance of Mrs. Campbell, who organized the chapter here, much progress, has been made by the group in stimulating interest in scholastic pursuits among the freshman.

The Lambdas were all smiles jusl before that final game. Several years ago someone started Intra-mural sports on the Centenary campus, apparently for the purpose of fostering the spirit of friendly (?) rivalry existing between the various groups, and to give the lads a chance to commit a little legal m.ayhem in the fair name of football. This year the Konquer- ing Athletes again emerged victorious from the struggle by defeating the Lambdas in the playoff by the stupendous score of 7-0. The Louisiana Tech. boys came down like the wolf on the fold to slaugh- ter the All-star team, which was composed of such hardy souls as survived the previous combats, but Tech. went under, to the funeral dirge of 14-6 in spite of their pretty uniforms, thus ending the Intra-mural Football activity. W % J THE WAA . The WAA, in case you didn ' t know, is not another government project, but an organization of athlet- ically minded students of the fairer sex, who, under the able guidance of faculty adviser Mrs. Bryant David- son and president Genevieve Miller, have progressed at a rapid rate this year. From the complete oblivion of thirteen years ago, this association has climbed to its present position as an important and influential campus unit. The reigning spirit of this group is embodied in its excellent motto: The game ' s the thing; never mind who wins. OFFICERS President . . .

IN ACTION Determined to better the record of previous years, the W.A.A. began active work immediately after its re- organization early in the school term, and launched itself on a highly promising career as a developer of mighty athletes among the fairer sex. That the girls achieved their goal is evident in the numerous events which they have sponsored and in the high caliber teams they have produced, in spite of such minor handi- caps as the decidedly inclement weather and the dilapidated old gym provided at the first of the year. The organization of a really first class basketball team occupied the majority of the first term, and, since the final game between the Sophs and the Upperclassmen at the dedication of the new gym, the verdict seems to be unanimous that the time was well spent. Classes m fencing, riflery (so the babes are gonna get tough on us, huh?), and swimming have been in progress all winter, and with the coming of Spring, new sports ap peared on the roster. Tap dancing, ping pong, tennis; all have been added to the list, and a certain num.ber of points towards an award are given for participation in each activity. Incidentally, m_ore girls than ever before are trying for letters and for the blanket which are to be presented at the end of the year. • Page 77 • 9 9 ' z a:J; v«- ' t ' e, .:.4. . ■m Representative W.

W. A. A. Activities and Regardless of financial difficulties (owing to several marked disinclinations to pay dues), the Association gave a number of very enjoyable outings and social affairs for their own group and also for the faculty and students in the course of the year. Chief among these were the skating parties, which furnished entertainment for participants and spectators alike, and the annual Stunt Night and Sports Festival. In the former of the latter events (Do you follow us?) the Chi Omegas won the competition for the handsome trophy, which is awarded to the group presenting the cleverest stunt of April Fool Night. The Sports Festival, with Ernes- tine McCain as Queen, presented an interesting and entertaining resume of the year ' s accom- plishments and of sports in general on the Campus May 2. First camping trip of the year was at beautiful Camp Margaret the last of February. Those who went on this trip had a grand time — enjoyable and profitable — for they went in for cook- ing, fencing, ping pong, eating (to excess), and all that makes such an outing an event. • Page 78 • We congratulate the W.A.A. on its outstanding achievements and good record for this year and for the spirit of sportsmanship which they have fostered on the campus, due largely to the efforts of Mrs. Davidson and Genevieve Miller, who have transformed the organization from a squalling infant to a thriving, growing youngster. More power to them, and to the ex- cellent association they have led to such a successful year. They ' ll need it, when next September finds the star W. A. A. athlete about ten pounds too heavy as a result of the sleep and eat program of the summer. From the progress this group has made this year, and from the growing enthusiasm of its members, we are assured that 1937-1938 will be even more of a banner year for the W A. A.

Time Marches On . . p, ERHAPS, TIME didn ' t exactly march on, it staggered, swaggered, crawled, wiggled, and twisted, but nevertheless, got on. It swaggered the first few weeks until it was lectured into apathy and began crawling. On all-fours it slowly approached the holidays when it got up to stagger. It staggered through three weeks of brassy jazz and Yuletide spirits; it even made it to the threshold of the New Year where it flopped, exhausted. Clocks silently watched the quiet few days, following the birthday of ' 37, until at last trembling hands wound them to start chopping through the new year with little ticks. Slightly the worse for wear TIME wiggled timidly up to examination week, then went crazy. Night became day, and day became tough. Students who had forgotten how to read dusted off books and tried to print knowledge on their minds. It was plenty tough and things looked bad, but somehow TIME came through. After that things righted themselves and the wheels clicked smoothly until, near the end of February, someone got out his oil-can. He squirted oil into the rusty cogs and the machinery of Politics started grinding with a creak and groan. Inefficiently as it functioned, TIME twisted for things, got so crooked that even the sands of the hours had to take a winding course. ' Twos then that March Blew in like a lion and TIME passed out like a lamp.

Eleven men answered, of which number only three had already recei ved their letters in this sport. From these candidates a fine defensive as well as of- fensive team was built. Ably trained by Hoot and managed by Mrs. Morse ' s two boys, Shorty and Peanuts, the Basketeers had a most creditable record on the hardwood floor this season. During the Christmas holidays the team made their annual barnstorming tour of the North Central states, playing 13 games and winning seven of these. Because of the experience and training gained on their trip the boys were able to subdue all but one of their conference foes in the regular sched- ule and were invited to enter the S. I. A. A. tournament held in Bowling Green, Ky., during the early part of March.

Greatly out-classed by the wearers of the Maroon and White, the small-sized Mexicans went down to defeat. Lingo, a newcomer to the Centenary squad, played a very creditable type of ball, accounting for sixteen points of the total score. Louisiana Tech was Centenary ' s first opponent in the conference schedule, in which the Alma Mater handed her rival of long standing a taste of defeat. The Bulldogs took the early lead by sinking field goals, but Centenary, with a burst of shots, retaliated and were on the top end of the score at the close of the half. During the last period, the Gents kept control of the ball and did not try to sink many shots. Leaving the home floor for a road trip. Centenary met and conquered the Louisiana College Wildcats and the Southwestern Bulldogs. Both games were erratic and the team was considerably hindered by the loss of Decker, Beasley, Huddleston, and Hooper because of ineligibility and injuries. Highlighting the game with Southwestern was the field goal of Cowboy Hohmann, made after the game had officially ended. Coming to the rescue of his team mates, he used up a year ' s eligibility in these few moments of play. Returning home the Gents defeated the Normal Demons in an overtime game, although the Basketeers as a whole were a little off their usual form. Toward the end of the game, Snyder shot a field goal from the center of the floor to tie the score up, and in the extra-time period Pete Williams accounted for four points to put the game on ice as far as the Gents were concerned. In a return game with Louisiana Tech, Centenary dominated the game from the beginning. The bearers of the Maroon and White colors played brilliant defensive ball throughout the evening and considerably outclassed the Techsters. Bill Snyder was the big noise for the Gentlemen again in this game, chalking up 26 of the points made by his team. A trip to Ruston and a third meeting with the Louisiana Tech boys, found the Centenary Gents again in the victorious position, with the Shreveport Basketeers starting off in the lead and advancing rapidly. In this game, Pete Williams was high point man with fifteen points to his credit. Kennedy Lingo Rawlinson OUTZ Williams Decker f I I . I, The Hdrc wood Court The only defeat of the year in their conference schedule was handed to the boys by Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss. Snyder did his utmost to bring the team out in the lead, running up a total of 20 points, but the end of the game found the Gentlemen on the short end of the score. Sports writers of Jackson com- mented on the poor officiating at the game. When Centenary brought Mississippi College to defeat, the team had conquered a quintet which had not lost a game for the season, prior to their encounter with the Gentlemen. The boys from across the river used a zone defense which was something entirely new and different for the wearers of the Maroon and White. Naturally a bit confused, the Gents trailed the whole time until the last five minutes when Decker sank a field goal to tie the score. Snyder then came through beautifully and sank timely shots from the floor to push Centenary out in the front. February 18th brought with it a return engagement with Louisiana College in the Municipal Auditorium. The game was slow and listless from the start to the finish, with Centenary showing poor defense as well as of- fense. Hooper, who had not fully recovered from a leg injury, hot a last minute field goal to eke out a win by one point. The Gentlemen next journeyed to Natchitoches to play Louisiana State Normal. In previous years the Demons had held a jinx on the representatives of Centenary on their home court, but before a large crowd, the Shreveport Quintet broke this jinx and defeated their opponents. Closing out his college career on the bas- ketball squad, Big Bob Decker was accredited by Coach Parker with playing the best game in his his-- tory as center on the Centenary team. Decker, Hooper, and Huddleston were all three scoring threats. A fourth and final defeat was handed to the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs by the Gents, who proudly displayed for the first time their new Maroon and White jackets. The score, 39-19, does not indicate the ability of the Techsters, for Centenary moved off to a fast lead, and the Reserves were called in to play the majority of the ball game. Although the game as a whole was listless and dull, the entire squad seemed to have an accurate eye for the basket, which made Centenary chalk up another win. An invitation to the S.I.A.A. tournament in Bowling Green, Ky., was the reason for the meeting between Centenary and Union University. Union took an early lead, with the Gentlemen right on her tracks. Both teams played excellent brand of basketball, but the wind-up of the game found Union the victorious of the two. Spectators commented that these were the two best teams ever seen on a court together in a long time. Hooper Huddleston Snyder BOWERMAN w ■ ' 4 ' :  . Peanuts anc.

In their one intercollegiate game with Louisiana Tech, the future Gents turned in a victory of 27-17, to add to the list of wins of their Alma Mater. Vivian and Hosston High Schools, also, be- came victims of the Freshmen Quintet, and their only defeat came at the hands of the Pleasant Hill five. These games as a rule were played as preliminaries to the varsity encounters and furnished much entertainment to the spectators who particularly noticed Bill Neumeyer ' s bird-cage, and the assort- ment of costumes worn by the Frosh. Members of the team were John Linsday, John Manson, Weenie Bynum, Peanuts Morse, Ted Olzack, Bill Neumeyer, Ned Looney, and Bob Irvin.

Ably coached by Matt Price, the mitt-slingers have become some of the most important people on the campus, not only to the hero-minded co-eds, but also to those athletic-minded men who really know their boxing. In addition to winning five matches, losing two, and drawing five of a twelve-match schedule. Centenary gained a Southern A. A. U. champion in Claude Mason, light-heavyweight, and a runner-up in Jeff Newman in the 135 lb. class. Louisiana State University of Northeast Center was the first opponent and in two matches, each team came through with one victory and one defeat. In the first fights Centenary won 5-1 with two draws, while in the second encounter the Gents lost 3-5. Newman, Mason, and Porter won their fights by K. O.s in the first match, and in the second bouts, Jackson, Mason, and Porter won by the same method. Southwestern Institute was next defeated by the wearers of the Maroon and White 5-3. Knockouts were recorded by Mashino, Jackson, and Sheppard. A return engagement with Southwestern found the Centenary Gentlemen held to a draw. In the match with Louisiana Tech, Centenary managed to gain a draw by the opponents of Jackson, Newman, and Mason taking the ten-count. The score at the conclusion was 4-4.

In these bouts, the Gentlemen forfeited two fights to Mississippi, while Mason, true to form, won his pugilistic combat by the knockout method. Murray State School of Agriculture and Centenary drew four all in the match between the two schools. In the bouts with Texas University, the Gents smeared the Longhorns in both encounters, by scores of 5-3 and 6-1, with one draw in the last fights of the series. Louisiana Tech lost their match to Centenary, toward the close of the season, 5-2, with one draw.

Apparently, so far as Centenary research can (or will) ascertain, the noble Grecians took it upon themselves to formulate an outlandish series of A, B, C ' s in the express hope that they might some day be jumbled up to give an exalted group an excuse to browbeat, backslap, and assess underclassmen. The Greeks, so historians and the movies tell us, ha d a word for it, but we doubt whether they had one adequate to describe the Centenary sororities and fraternities, and if the Greeks could not do it, neither can we.

Their two biggest, and we might add only, big shots are Philip Stagg, president of this fraternity, business manager of the Yoncopin and president of Alpha Chi, and Claude Mason, newly ac- quired brother who biffed his way into the limelight as winner of the Southern light heavy-weight division of the golden gloves tournament. Posterity, however, will have one excellent reason for honoring the memory of the 1936-1937 history of this gold-en- crusted group. Sigma Phi was the only fraternity on the campus to come out at the end of the year with not only a balanced budget, but a surplus and that, gentle readers stands in the way of being major achievements for any frat.

Oldest of the present sorority houses; the Chi Omega lodge was spruced up considerably by a very thorough spring cleaning, the addition of a telephone and some Venetian blinds — they wanted an annex to accommodate all the new pledges, but settled fo r the fancy shades in- stead. The sisters also erected some shining silver pillars to prevent the heavy traffic to and from South Hall from encroaching on their ter- ritory. All in all, a big improvement. • Page 108 • Emerging with wreathes of smiles caused by tJie large number of Freshmen wearing the cardinal and straw after the usual hectic rushing season, the Chi O ' s finally settled down to the simpler tasks of electing members of their lodge to honorary positions on the campus, winning the stunt night competition, instructing green neophytes in the ways and means of Greekdom and classroom, redecorating their sorority house, and giving some of the best social affairs at Centenary. In spite of this full program, they managed to emphasize scholarship to such a degree that at mid-semester, much to their surprise, they discovered themselves to be holding the highest average of any or- ganization on the campus.

In early spring, the sisters of the quill, were seen hustling and bustling around preparing for their sixth anniversary and, also, for the visit of the national treasurer. Their physical and mental anxiety did not cease until Ernestine McCain was safely installed as Yoncopin Sponsor. Others were elected to various positions of honor on the campus. Last, but not least, vivacious Patsy Julian was Co-ed Vice-President of the student body. They have given several delightful social affairs which faculty and student body alike have enjoyed. All, in all the Alpha Xi Deltas have done them- selves proud this year.

Not all their time was spent in gloating over victories, however, for the Zetas national field secretary paid them a visit; and the celebration of their 10th Birth- day occupied much of their time, though some contend that Zeta wasn ' t born, but only happened.

Anne North Secretary -Treasurer . . Mary Paine Lee The fact that there has been little or no friction among the different sorority groups on the campus this year can be attributed in part to the Pan-Hellenic Council, composed of four members from each Greek-lettered sisterhood, whose duty is to govern all sorority activ- ities such as rushing, pledging, and social events. Headed by Alpha Xi Delta Betty Lane Gribsby, the Council this year has had little to do in the way of ironing out difficulties because of the unusual harmony existing among these three groups. rr T v Annelle Hutchinson, Betty Lane Grigsby Anne North Theresa Haywood, Edna Earle Richardson Corneha Row- Mary Paine Lee, Deaver Hamrick Dot Rippy Page 114 • Every college campus has certain customs and practices that are accepted as correct.

The whoopie belle of New Year ' s Eve is the droopy girl of Examination Eve; the top male of the Christmas Ball is the flop man of the Fall Quiz. No matter how comprehensive the modern college becomes, students remain uncomprehending (and if you think you can change us go ahead and try.) Whatever is said, exams remain what Sherman termed war. Campus Dress I N various forms of dress or undress, the students of Centenary go blithely through their days, su- premely unconcerned or satisfactorily conceited about their appearance. During the cold winter months, little attention is paid to the color harmony of any outfit, since most people quite wisely con- sider the problem of keeping warm of major importance. Eccentricities in dress are evidenced mainly on rainy days, where the Boots and Breeches Brigade is out in full force, along with their com- panions-in-arms — the rain hat, the cellophane cap and gown, and the silk umbrella. Spring brings with it loud sweaters and ties, polo shirts with no ties and numerous other things too un- pleasant to mention. At this time of the year Mary Ella brings forth her green and silver sandals- — ideal for classroom wear. Ben Sheppard turns back his collar and lets his hair grow a la Lord Byron. Social functions find the boys casting aside the decorous black and white of the wmter for gaudy plaid shirts and two-tone effects. Some still wear suits (with vests!) to class which doesn ' t seem to embarrass their less formal brethren a bit. White shoes walk on the scene and depart very much the worse for wear after a round trip to South Hall. The gals dig up last summer ' s gullottes and ank- lets for this year ' s season. As days get hotter, the spasm of dress-up passes and people go back to being as comfortable as possible again, which means to seek a cool spot and lie there and complain. Which seems to be an excellent idea, so we ' ll quit this copy and let you finish it yourself, if you ' ve gotten this far in it.

Page 117 Kollege Kapers J_ _OLLEGE Kapers Kontinues Komic — to be specific, it grows in comicness, if there is such a word (or even if there isn ' t) with the addition of such shining Thespian Ughts as Hall McCord and Parry Stewart. Hall waxes eloquent both rhetorically and operatically, and Parry uses his deep bass voice to such good purpose that the general effect upon his audience, considering his lack of inches, is one of, Tain ' t so. The newly discovered elasticity of John Vantrease ' s arms, together with his hitherto unexploited blankness of countenance, makes him one of the outstanding comedians of the show. He fills to over- flowing the shoes of Red Kirkland of former fame. Sammy Peters and his inevitable and talented clarinet produce an atmosphere which is slightly disturbing, at the most conservative estimate. The appreciation with which Kollege Kapers was received is due in large measure to the orchestra with its timely (and a pun, however weak, is intended) pieces, ably directed by Dana Dawson, who is com- monly, and at the addresser ' s own risk, know as Mr. Beautiful. Betty Lane Grigsby and Allen Prickett accomplish the impossible by being received with greater enthusiasm this year than last: by each other and by the audience, both on and off the stage. Ruth Richards and Grace Virginia Rathburn, both new to Kollege Kopers, and the Three Notes, Doris, Phillis, and Irene, sing with the orchestra, adding to the quality of musical numbers.

Realizing the negligable value of a class officer ' s job, they, nevertheless, chose three fine officers. Cognizant that a nice personality is rare, they boosted in President Harris. Willing to concede that loveliness is always welcome, they sent Williams up the ladder after him, and liking blue eyes and a grin, they gave Montgomery a secretary ' s notebook. • Page 120 • CLASS OF ' 3 8 Onsby Beall Shrevepcrt, La.

The Chapel building stood stately and serene through all the strife . . . But the students are of the opinion that too much of anything is enough, as they plod unhappily horn the twice-a-week session . . . Why, Pres- ident Cline himself didn ' t seem to enjoy that program so much! . . . Again the assembled students speculate as to the probable uninterestingness of the forth- coming program . . . Herr Phelps finds it constantly necessary to advise stu- dents of the benefits of regular chapel attendance . . . Then comes Tim Moranl Tim pulled some very interesting (if true) and unorthodox skeletons from the closets . . . Thereby gaining the hearty applause of the students and congratu- lations from the faculty . . . Soon the present one-a-week and stu dent control program system was introduced and everyone is comparatively happy . . . Spring and Falling Nuts A, .FTER acting mildly insane all year the campus sees Spring and goes completely daffy. Big foot- ball he-males growl their way through the Fall, then see a feather-drooping robin and start tweeting with a love-sick calf expression . . . Girls who ' ve worn flat-heeled shoes all year and wrapped up in shapeless coats see a sprig of poison-ivy and go home to put the war-paint on with a grim expression in their eyes . . . Professors who ' ve sneered in dark garb since September self-consciously come to lectures in rainbow suits and wear orange ties . . . Grinds who ' ve worn pages out of books and pa- tience out of teachers, look up dazzled and start wanting palpitations. Gosh ain ' t it grand! Squir- rels leap out of their pine-tree hide-outs and dash across the grass wondering which are the edible nuts and which are the other kind. A bristly-chinned Senior spies the first violet and poetlike scrawls off an ode. The Greeks put in a stock of pins and start passing them out like hand-bills. Shirt sleeves show themselves and the first man to get a sun-tan is hero-of-the-week. Meanwhile model T ' s, stored for the winter, squeak out of the garage and give a naughty glance at closed cars. Belles accumulate an ice- cream soda appetite and sparks drink cokes and watch them guzzle fifteen cents worth of fluff. Spring- fever rages and the college shuts shop for the summer. Page 126 The New Physical Education Building F. ROM early summer the students, faculty, and interested friends of Centenary College watched with great pride the construction of their new $150,000 gym, the gift of W. A. Haynes. As each steel beam was raised and as each brick was laid, the enthusiasm mounted higher and higher, until on open- ing night, with the huge building ablaze with light, the cap of suppressed emotion was finally blown off in a burst of excitement and exhiliration. All day long the Gents, dressed in their new white sweat- ers with the temperature at 85 degrees, worked feverishly and perspiringly to conduct visitors through the rooms of their new hang-out, while truckloads of flowers arrived to grace the offices of Doc George and Coach. As the time approached and the doors were flung open to interested friends, many were the expressions of surprise and pleasure over the huge edifice, its stately Georgian lines, its impressive entrances, and its general architectural beauty. A loud rolling of drums by the Maroon Jackets corps and a blaring of trumpets and saxophones by the band officially opened the evening program. The first event was the girls ' basketball game in which the Sophomores defeated the upper- classmen and incidentally, proved that our co-eds are not entirely made of sugar and spice. Then Doc George took the spotlight, welcomed the visitors, paid a worthy tribute to Mr. Haynes, and in- troduced President Cline, The Board of Trustees, the coaches, and Bishop Dobbs. The Huge Opening Night Crowd Witnesses the Dedication . . . The Bishop completed the dedication ceremonies with the reading of Scripture and a prayer, presenting the building to the Board of Trustees of Centenary. Exhibition boxing matches and a basketball game between the Varsity team and the Graduates then followed, bringing the evening to a successful close. President Cline smiles as Mr. Mar- ston presents the building to Bishop Dobbs, chairman of the Board ot Trustees . . . The colorful lobby and trophy cases . . . The college cificials hold down ring side seats . . . In the C Club ' s recreation center . . . Breaking in the Umbering up equipment . . . Around the New Fulfilling a definite need in the life of Centenary Colleqe, the new gym is one of the most completely equipped athletic buildings present today in the South. Possibly its most outstanding feature is the superb floor of the auditorium, which is made of end-grained blocks fitted together and compressed; although no small mention should be made of the modern locker rooms for both men and women, the handball courts, and the boxing camp complete in every detail. On the second floor is located the C room, with adequate facilities for playing ping- pong, reading, or lounging, while every possible provision has been made for successful skull prac- tices in a well lighted class room on the west side of the building. Here, also, is located the Athletic Department and the handsomely furnished offices of the Public Relations Chairman. Mattie types in the new of ice . . . Donning armor in the dressing room . . .

N W„ Spring Sports HEN the calendar and the store windows announce the advent of spring, those hardy souls who have withstood the ravages of time and the spring training season run out into Ye Great Outdoors, to trample down the sod in an endeavor to perfect themselves in the manly arts of tennis and baseball. This constitutes Centenary ' s fling at spring sports, and we ' re thankful that ' s all there is to it, because otherwise we ' d have to write more, and we ' re not in the mood! • Page 132 H KBWBI W tl Ai - • tssssm wSSSSSSi SSmWmm wmmi WSSi mmm wmm ' fSSi SSmi mmmt wmmi mmam§ mgg mm 0 Racqueteers Ewing, PiIChardson, Stagg, Chidlow and Railsback 40-Love M ARCH went out like a lamb to the accompaniment of warm breezes and the ing of new tennis balls on the hard surface courts, for Centenary was out to repeat again its successful 1936 season, in which the team was officially undefeated among Colleges in the Ark-La-Tex area. Managed capably, for the second time, by Ashley Sibley, who kept the tiny spark of tennis fever aglow through all of the rain and fog of the winter months, the team was unquestionably made up of the best racket weild- ers in the college, for prior to the choosing of the Centenary representatives in tennis, an elimination tournament was held in which approximately 30 interested athletes took part. Its conclusion found the 1937 team playing in the following positions: Philip Stagg, No. 1; Jud Chidlow, No. 2; Tom Richard- son, No. 3; Ed Railsback, No. 4, and C. E. Ewing, No. 5. Stagg and Railsback were also on the 1936 roster. Local and out of town matches were held with Louisiana State Normal, Louisiana College, Marshall College and Stephen F. Austin State Teachers College. A good deal of credit for the large number of tennis enthusiasts should be given to the athletic depart- ment, through whose co-operation more appropriations were made for games and facilities than ever before. In addition to renewing old nets and lines, two brand new tennis courts were constructed, which afforded a great deal of enjoyment to the general student body during the spring months. • Page 133 • Lingo Decker Kennedy Burgess Stone OUTZ McCuLLOUGH Harris Majors Krentel Beasley bowerman Morse huddleston Lewis ' .-i rtK: «V .a8- icj, ' .-- i.i )« Baseball Thrust into the very midst of spring football training season with only a week ' s practice to their credit and with icy March winds howling around the diamond, the Centenary Gentlemen fell far short of their records made on the gridiron and hardwood court. In spite of expert instruction by Coach Elmer Smith, it was their lack of hitting power coupled with ragged fielding that caused most of the defeats suffered at the hands of their opponents. Out of ten scheduled games, the baseball nine turned in only two victories for the glory of their Alma Mater. The first of a two-game series with Illinois Wesleyan found the Gents on the short end of the 5-4 decision, and in the second meeting between the two teams, a number of errors and failure to hit in the pinches by Centenary gave the victory to the visitors. Games with Louisiana Tech and other state teams were lost by close scores. ,J Elmer Smith Baseball Coach Page 134 • Purdue University came down from the frozen North and reveUing in our wintry weather which had the Southerners shivering in their dugout, defeated Centenary in a double-header by scores of 6-4 and 8-2. Confronted with their perrenial rivals, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, the Gents again bit the dust in two close games, 9-6 and 5-3. Good pitching and few errors accounted for Stephen F. Austin being the first victims of the Maroon and White, but in the next game with the same opponents, the Gents were again all thumbs and booted the boys from Nacadoches into the winning column, 13-3. The last games of the season were again played with La. Tech. In the first, jittery nerves handed the ball game to the wearers of the Blue and Red 8-2, but Stone and the Gents came back magnificently to end the season with a Centenary victory, 9-2.

Spring Training Q i SANDWICHED m between the boxing season and baseball season, spring training for football received its share of attention by forty-eight hope- ful candidates, in preparation for a winning team next year. Drills were held late in the afternoon when every one had finished their work, and lasted until it was too dark to see clearly what was happening. Sophomores were groomed by the coaches to replace t he ten Gents graduating from the squad, and a number of high school seniors from neighboring states were given a looking over by the powers that be, with an eye toward a new crop of Freshmen pig-skin punters. While sensational plays of the past gridiron season were recalled to the minds of those who had seen active service in the fall, additional new formations were tried out and approved by both the coaches and the boys. Lettermen brushed up on their punting and passing and former Freshies, now elevated to the position of potential varsity men, did their best to show how quickly they could overcome the disadvantages of youth and lack of experience. Page 136 Among the Sophs whose performances measured quite favorably with the Centenary standard of football were, Samolitis, end; Partin, tackle; May, cen- ter; Whitehurst, fullback; and Bynum, tailback. In a check upon the abilities of the varsity members of the team, all showed themselves to be in good form, both mentally and physically; with Stone, punting, passing, and running better than he ever has in his entire career as a gridiron star at Centenary. Next season should find Stone one of the hardest running backs in the South. Understudy to him is Beasley, who during the Spring Training Season was also coached for the quarterback position, along with Huddleston, Ails, and Neumeyer. Other places on the squad were given careful attention, and although only a month of practice took place, much was accomplished toward shaping a winning team in football for Centenary next year.

Then, in an atmosphere tense with excitement and anticipation, music is played, an address by Gov. Richard Leche is rendered, degrees are conferred, the Alma Mater is sung, a benediction is offered, and IT ' S ALL OVER. And what are the thoughts of the graduates who have been so rudely booted out into the cold, cruel world? The GTaduaiing Class has many mernoiies to cherish.

As green and goggle-eyed freshmen, they scurried through their first year, trying to keep in good with all, and not to look as low in the scale of life as they felt. As domineering Sophs, they became big shot conscious and were almost as insufferable as the new crop of first year studes. As apathetic Juniors, they fooled away their third year — blase, bored, and indifferent, or so they tried to be. Finally, as wor- ried Seniors grimly facing a tough comprehensive, they battled through the last long year, and now they ' re through. No more will the seven minute bell interrupt their slumbers and send them hustling off to the next class. No more wi ll they pause to watch the columns swaying in the breeze and predict that sobriety will be the first to fall. No more will they stand entranced in front of the bulletin board, which bears printed notices cordially inviting them to meet the Absence Committee for failure to meet the Absence Committee for cutting Chapel. No more will they pound up the steep slopes from South Hall, or slosh through the muddy parking lot, or march joyfully off to Chapel on a lovely Spring day; no more, alas, no more. And so it ends. They come and go, but Centenary serenely continues, good for another hundred years or so. Presenting the 1937 Yoncopin Sponsor... Many ' s the fair lass who fell on that battle field, mourns Ye Old Scribe in fond recollection. Many ' s the brave bosom that was laid bare to the foe. In those early days of the Sponsor Contest great was the valor of the three foes who laid low the poor merchants of the town and who fleeced the suckers of the campus until the whites of their eyes plead in agony. They were the inventors of the flying wedge which was foolproof for a five-buck ad and if managed properly for a ten or twelve. The old grey head bows and a palsied hand sweeps away a frutive tear. He goes on husky-voiced, Yes, indeed, it was beautiful to see Charlie Osborne steal a march on the Chi O ' s for about twenty-five dollars worth of tickets. To glimpse Joy Clark wheedling four-fifty from a moon-sick Freshman made a man glad to be alive — and a Sophomore. J LAJ .t Doc George opens the Sponsor Contest with a pep talk . . . Last year ' s win- ner, Haywood, gives this year ' s Zeta candidate a lew pointers . . . Now comes the final tabulation oi votes . . . And the winner, McCain. • Page 150 • And McCain, McCain had a technique which left them gasping. She ' d sneak in a couple of dazzling grins and then push a check-book into his face. A momentary gleam comes in his eye and for a second a flash of a younger fire came into his aged-dimmed eyes. Then came the day of closing. Ah, it was a beautiful sight. There was the Chi O ' s smirking in advance and the Zetas in full array gaily bedecked in vivid war-paint and rouge, then came the Alpha Z ' s. They strode up to the office with three of them struggling ' neath the weight of the money bags. The next day the campus rang with the cries of the wounded — terrible cries of ' Robbery! Crooked! They Cheated! ' Yes, Son, those were the good old days. Presenting the 1937 Sports Festival Queen S. ' CORING the ancient and decrepit for she shall be queen of the May idea, the W.A.A. girls exer- cised such ingenuity and originality as they possessed to present a unique program on May 3, on the campus, and succeeded. Their concentrated efforts took the form of a Sports Festival, with every type of women ' s athletics at Centenary represented differently and indifferently. Of course, they couldn ' t dispense with the queen idea entirely, so Ernestine McCain was elected by the usual combine to the exalted position of ruler over all the little athletes. Members of her court, consisted of ten Cente- nary belles and one each from Dodd and Marshall, were selected by a faculty committee and hung around trying to look attractively athletic and not accomplishing much. Just a group ot the May Court . . . last year, oi course . . . Here are all the flowers representing The Dance of the Flowers . . . Last year ' s queen, Laura Belle Parker, and attendants. • Page 152 • The program was something on the order of a three-ring circus, with fencing, archery, riflery and badminton, riding, etc., going on as far as the eye could (or would want to) see. The most lamentable aspect of this wonderful occasion was the fact that, although it presented a wonderful opportunity for displaying Centenary ' s best in the way of feminine pulchritude, there was, alas, little to be displayed. With this sad fact facing us we creep away from the Sports Festival, which was probably pretty good anyhow. 1 ' .lirikin Ail fPro8,Tr ' Stdndouts T, HE ANNUAL return of Spring brought with it, among other unpleasant things, the seasonal elections which gave rise to a subsequent crop of big-shots, whose inflated egos loomed so large on the campus horizon. First we suffered through the Popularity Contest with its preliminary stages of dead-fish hand shakes and electric-light smiles and its follow up period of shouts of Dirty work! and Com- bine! from dejected and rejected losers. Then we endured the Sponsor Contest in not-so-silent agony, while looking for a quiet cave to crawl into until the storm was over. But the worse was yet to come — beauties must be selected, as well as a May Queen, together with the election of new officers for the coming year. All in all, with so many important personages knocking around for us to pay homage to we feel practically overwhelmed with our own unimportance. In fact, it was very presumptious of us to mention retiring into a cave; just any old hole that some earthworm has abandoned will do for us — and we ' ll be glad to get it too!

For once there was no suspicion of dirty work at the election box. P O P U A 3il 3i arns No doubt we should have said William, but the very indica- tion of his popularity is the Bill and Will which he is to everyone on the campus. His grin and greeting are as much fix- tures of his personality as his sandy hair. ' VLnjinia JJoijle Versatility is Virginia ' s meat, for she takes as much in her scope as she possibly can. The Yearbook, paper, sorority, class- work alike come in for a share of her all-embracing interests and still she finds time to be likeable and friendly. £ S A T L E 1 aui Ontriki un Nothing on the campus seems complete without Paul ' s name on the membership list. Chemistry, honorary, social, publications, student councils, class officers count him as one of them. How he does it no one knows, but he does everything and does them all well. Jjana d) aw son A repeater this year was handsome Dana, whose chief asset is his six-inch grin and cordiahty. As sauve master of ceremonies for KoUege Kapers Dana wowed many an audience and flut- tered many a female heart. c o VI L Jnarika Skepkew Cute best expresses the students ' idea of Freshman Martha. With that in mind the band boys made her their official sweet- heart, and the campus males made her one of the most popular young ladies at the college. Jjoh Jjeck 1 ecKer Big Bob with brawny muscles and wiry sinews is a leaping demon on the basketball court, flying around with melon-sized balls tucked under his arms and flipping them through hoops with sneers at his bewildered opponents. In short, he ' s pretty good. A r ti I K T I C larij Scmfow jti amner Sis does things to basketballs and on the side throws mascu- line hearts through hoops. This little Arkansasan has done mighty well in more ways than one here at school for she not only hooked this Best Girl Athletic award but also one of the nice looking K. A. laddies of the campus. J Cute best describes Miss Centenary of 1937 when she is em- bodied in the person of Doris Marshall. Just a ievv leet ot Sopho- more plus a couple of inches of Zeta Tou Alpha rounds out and completes her picture, provided you leave lots of space to depict her loveliness. • - . t. - . A 1 ll 1 I 1 Being a Freshman, though it may have its drawbacks, apparently doesn ' t stand in the way ol beauty, at least not in Mary ' s case. She is a jewel in the crown of Chi Omega and no small part oi the attractiveness of the yearbook. Charming and outstanding in more ways than one is Edna Earle, tor her Sophomore sphere includes being Cheerleader, Class Of- ticer, Vice-President of the newly formed Cen Coes, and a Chi Omega. Besides that, she is an ornamental, as well as intelli- gent, fixture in classes and on the campus. i y o. -Z . i ' t-c), So X £a a - . « v Si,_ Ollf Second Edna in the book but second to none in beauty is Edna Marie, wliose blondeness is breathtaking and whose smile is devastating.

Surprisingly enough, a few outstanding campus personalities were developed, a few of our plans were eventually fulfilled, and some small number of our ambitions became realities. We regret all that remains unfinished and unsatisfactory, but perhaps the reason that such a quantity of unaccomplished efforts lie scattered about is due to the unfortunate, but noble, aspirations we clung so firmly to in September. Thus we take sentimental pleasure in reviewing our triumphs and mistakes of the dying school term before departing, sadder and wiser, but still hopeful of the future, for you see we never learn. Page 168 • Hdll oi Fame Each year ' s graduating class contains some members who have distinguished themselves in some phase of college activity. It has been the custom of the Yearbook for several years to pick three or four of these outstanding students to give them special recognition in appreciation of their efforts in a special line of work. This selection is made on a basis of academic and extra-curricular activity as well as personal popularity and personality. We feel that the students pictured here represent the finest of the graduating class in their individual spheres. Walter Hohmann LiLLENE McKay Philip Stagg Patricia Julian We Nominate Cowboy Hohmann, because he has proven himself to be a sporting winner and loser in all his ac- tivities; because he is a likeable Yankee from Chicago; because he has played four years of mighty fine football at Centenary; and because we like him. Lillene McKay, because she has worked her four years at Centenary with quite efficiency and sought no recognition for it; because she made Alpha Chi for two years; because she was a member of the chemistry and psychology societies with high standing; because she served two years as Zoology Assistant and taught hardheaded Freshmen some of the basic facts of life; because she has worked long and hard at everything she did and has really been educated at college. Philip Stagg, because he has a funny chuckle which we like; because he is an honor man and Presi- dent of his honorary as well as his social fraternity; because he was a member of the Inter-fraternity Council and a two-year man on the tennis team; because he was Assistant in Commerce for two years; and because he helped us scrape together enough jack to issue this year ' s Yoncopin, which was no soft job. Patsy Julian, because she has been busier in her four years here than any other two people; be- cause she made both lower and upperclassmen honorary societies; because she served four years on the Women ' s Dormitory Council; because she was a Maroon Jacket both of her eligible years; because she is Co-ed Vice-President; because she spent two years on the Conglomerate staff and the Pan Hel- lenic Council; and because she has so many accomplishments that we know we have left some out. • Page 169 • Hign Spots • The school year, 1936-1937, was notable in so many different ways that it is practically impossible to list all the outstanding achievements and personalities in such a limited space; but if our readers will bear with us, we shall endeavor to do so. If we praise what you have accomplished, be grateful; if we condemn it, be forgiving; and if we overlook it; be thankful — but above all, dear readers, be pa- tient — for we are but trying to please. • Most conspicuous among the campus achievements is the new gym — a gift of Arch Haynes — that im- posing structure which causes visitors to lower their voices in awe — and a good thing, too — because the acoustics increase the slightest sound to make it sound like a Spanish Revolution. Every day you can see a group of students standing around admiring it, with mouths wide, trying to believe it ' s really there. • And speaking of revolutions (if you waded through paragraph one you know what we refer to) Cente- nary had one of its own. An article in the Conglomerate crystalizing the student body ' s opinion, started the ball rolling and behold — from the melee emerged the revised chapel program. • Dr. Thayer delivered an excellent paper before the American Petroleum Institute in Chicago, on the Present Status of the Hypothesis of the Biogenesis of Petroleum. Kinda overwhelming, huh? :ZiZ2z • The new switchboard was an innovation — but this intri- cate, highly polished, modernistic mechanical device still doesn ' t keep people from calling to ask if Centenary has a Chinese professor with an English name, or why the school is called Centenary. • Centenary will not soon forget this season ' s football bat- tle with Texas A. M. It warmed every pigskin-lover ' s heart to see the fighting Gent eleven go out in front, 3-0, over the Farmers, who were doped to spread the Maroon and White in an even one-half inch layer all over the grid- iron, and then frustrate every scoring attempt made by the butter-fingered Aggies. • Tyler ' s annual Rose Festival was decorated by the pleasing presence of Centenary ' s Annie Merril Graham, who served as a Duchess during the festivities. We might add now to save another para- graph later that Betty Lane Grigsby did a little official shining at A. M. ' s Cotton Ball. • While we still have football on the brain, the lowly and overworked Frosh team had things this year. One of them was an uncrossed goal line, another was a human universal joint in Weenie Bynum. Well, you saw him run, didn ' t you? • The return of our beloved Doc George Sexton to active connection with his school, Centenary, as Public Relations director has certainly been a bright spot in everyone ' s year. And his crowning of the several queens has been as effective as ever. • Page 170 • oi the Year • Instructed by Dean Hardin, Professors Banks and Earls; Paul Entrikin, Edgar Friedenberg, Albert Farnell, Leo Simmons, Glen Leapord, and Ed Railsback won the regional title in the S. I. M. A. contest and are now heading for the last round at Dallas. e The Alpha Xi ' s and the TKN ' s won a cup apiece for house decorations on Homecoming Day. So what? • Professor Odom took a group of psychology stu- dents down to the asylum at Pineville and we don ' t want to hear a word out of you about it either. • The Chi O ' s got three of the beauties, but the Zetas still won the top honor. That ' s what you get for split- ting your votes, girls. • Another trio was formed this year when another Zeta, this time Martha Shepherd, was elected band sweetheart for the third consecutive year. • In the more manly activities, Bill Snyder lifted the ball through the hoop enough times to be high- point man on the basket ball team, and Claude Mason slammed his way through the matches to be- come Southern AAU boxing champion. • Professor Ewerz represented this district in the curriculum revision project which is progressing rapidly in this state. What are the plans for arbitrating with sit-down students. Prof.? • Although the strictest of secrecy and censorship prevents us from revealing the ghastly details, we ' ve heard vague rumors to the effect that the annual faculty banquet N as a howling success, and that much that was on the program would liven up the Donkeypen considerably. • Music students can bang with more conviction and authority since the Centenary School of Music has been granted provisional membership in the National Association of Schools of Music, or some other paragraph to that effect. • Ogle-eyed State Fair visitors got an eyeful in the Centenary science department ' s exhibit of cotton products and fossils. The latter, collected by Edgar Friedenberg, required a full-time custodian to explain how they could be so old. • Boys who couldn ' t make the teams in any sport went in strong for the intra-mural contests, sponsored by the college for the first time. All sports were rep- resented except football, which is considered too rough for the little fellows, so they went out and played it all by themselves. • Alpha Sigma Chi ' s weekly (no! NOT weakly!) scien- tific book reviews, with coffee and conversation thrown in for good measure, look like a good thing. Why don ' t other groups with special interests try a hand at such reviews next year? V f V v a ' X! AXam,, • Of course, you ' ve noticed them, who hasn ' t! Yes, we mean the clever and attractive displays and posters that Miss Althar has worked out during the year to induce the typical college student, who doesn ' t want to be educated, to read a good book now and then. • Page 171 t More High Spots • Jack Cooke upheld the morals, honesty, integrity, and sobriety of the school to become President of the Louisiana Methodist Student ' s Conference. • The Yoncopin grew up this year (nine by twelve dimensions), not only in size, but in beauty, origi- nality, and intelligent humor. (Advertisement paid for by the Yoncopin staff.) © A little bit of Mexico and a trifle of France was im- port ed in the shape of movies presented (for a quarter) at the Centenary Theatre by the Spanish and French clubs, respectively. @ The Centenary Art Department has progressed by leaps and bounds this term — in fact it ' s a jump ahead of itself, and will have to back down some to keep up with the rest of the school. Anyway, Don Brown deserves the credit and so does Ralph McKenzie for his individual exhibition. • It is an outstanding event when the flabby boys of the fraternities don headgear and shoulder-pads to battle for Alma Mammy and Pappa Kappa Sigma Theta. Even greater is the surprise to hecrr that an All-Fraternity team gallantly accepted a challenge of Tech to play an inter-collegiate game and beat the brawny Greeks from afar by a whole touchdown. • The Cen Goes — supposedly composed of Shreveport sorority girls — gave a dance (and got in trouble with the faculty for being so bold as to call it one) and a skating party and had their pictures taken, and that ' s all. • Imitators of the above worthy organization started the Campus club, which we prayerfully predict won ' t last long. We could say much more against the clubbers, but we ' ve given them too much space already. @ Centenary adopted L. S. U. tactics and for the first time in the history of the school, politics entered to soil the fair name of our student elections. Pupils headed for chapel were greeted with handbills, sound trucks, Ben Shepherd, non frats, etc., all trying to influence the gulli- ble Not to chump off again! and now our elections, formerly so honest, are tinged and sullied by this infa- mous deed. ©Professor Shaw was not with us during the first semes- ter. Not that that ' s a high spot in the year, but you see he was at L. S. U. studying English, which is a high spot in which to study English. • Kollege Kapers ground out a little local talent at the President ' s Birthday Ball. a worthy cause, regardless of the quality of such aforementioned talent. At least it was for • Another new club blossomed forth under the handicap of being named Psi Delta Chi. This, the Psychology club, seems to be of a more permanent nature than the ill-fated Chess club. Math, club, etc., etc. Anything that has such loud meetings must be a success. • A bit more of glitter and glory (but no less work) was added to the Yoncopin Sponsor Contest in the form of a big gold trophy, which you will see in firm Alpha Xi Delta hands on the sponsor ' s page. • Page 172 • :: the Year • The ampitheatre was completed by W.P.A. during the summer, but we still don ' t have a stage. And what good is an outdoor theatre minus its stage? — ask any couple on a moonlight night! • A brother organization to the Maroon Jackets were the similar hued Shirts, who tried to inspire reluc- tant fans into cheering vigorously and failed dismally. It furnished an opportunity for the boys to shine, in their own lights, however, so they enjoyed it. • The Maroon Jackets marched out in fine style with drums to beat and tatoos to learn and shuttles to shuttle — only they didn ' t. Anyhow, with Rosenblath ' s baton and Johnnie ' s patience to guide them, the sheep did as well as could be expected. • The Conglomerate issued an April Fool edition, which was actually read (pardon — it was green), and the campus awoke to the fact that we do have a paper published here. The only trouble was, ye editor got so obsessed with the idea that he just kept on running burlesque stuff and people began to groan for the former days when they could quietly ignore the Conglomerate and pretend it wasn ' t there. In the middle of April the Chemurgic Council met on the campus, gathering speakers and listeners from far-away states as well as local circles. A large number of students sat through, and supposedly absorbed, the interesting talks. STHIS STILL THE APRIL FOOL 7 f EDITION?? r oX f • An unexpected but very welcome spring pastime presented itself in the form of Mr. Larkin, California astronomer, and his big telescope. Students spent several afternoons peering at Venus and learning about stars. (See last snapshot page.) 9 Another pleasant surprise was the rebuilt and streamlined Religious Emphasis Week. Despite the fact that an alarming tendency toward Courtship and Marriage was noted, particularly among the fair sex, the discussion groups worked nicely and really did a lot of good. At least it started some people thinking for a change. @ The sloppy but-hard-fought soft ball schedule introduced school-sponsored intra-murals in a big way. The twenty-five-game schedule, topped by a little world series, promises a cup to the victor and ali- bies to the losers. 9 The new tennis courts, such as they are, will be quite a help in preventing bloodshed when sixteen people want to use one court. Now, may we humbly suggest an entrance from Centenary Boulevard to the parking lot to save our tempers (and tires!) in another way? @ $500,000 would do a lot for Centenary, and we sincerely hope the campaign to secure it goes over. Nev buildings and equipment are not a luxury , but a necessity. This is the end, for which Allah be praised, and don ' t come pestering us about some important event we forgot to mention, because it probably wasn ' t worth it anyhow! • Pag« 173 • 1936 Yoncopin Wins First Class Honor Rating . . . The Staffs Realization.. w= E REALIZE — we realize — just what do we realize? Well, anyhow we ' re not going to apologize overly much. We have tried to present as accurate and as true a picture possible of life on the Cente- nary Campus, shorn of the usual frills and whitewash of college annuals. Our attempts have been to show thmgs in their actual colorings and not through rosy glasses; we have shown what the groups did and not what they were supposed to do; we have not had an editorial or pictorial policy of ballyhoo. Campus political filth, popular ventures, general opinion, student practices; all of the faults as well as the virtues of the college have been depicted, and if the final result has suffered from the transcription from life to paper, it is at least a fairly true reflection of campus life at Centenary College during 1936- ' 37. We hope this is a good Yoncopin and will not shame its excellent predecessors. The virtues of this book are the virtues of Centenary —and so are the faults. Page 174 • Predictions of the Future . . .

A, lBOUT this page of the yearbook the bug of humor bites the Editor and the contagious rash spreads to the staff. Between giggles at the funny things they ' re going to put in the Donkeypen, they pound each other ' s back, their faces grow red, their voices shrill and crack. After several hilarious days of pre-humorous humor the Editor stops himself long enough to bring out a typewriter. He bites a laugh in two, spits out the butt of it in a weak simper, composes himself, and commands, Write . . . write that posterity may chuckle. Create the belly-laughs of tomorrow. Bud, Geniuses! The Muse raises her eyebrows, lifts high her skirts, shudders, and flees. Humor-flown the staff sits wild-eyed. Through the empty halls of their minds they pursue the elusive Muse. In vain they ponder, desperately groping for that gem of wit which only yesterday lay on the floor hysterically gasping. The poem, the satire, the cartoon, which they have horded all year, saving for this day, is gone. A gloom fills the office, all are grimly intent, no brow is unfurrowed, no mouth uplifted. Like the dance of Death is the slow clinking of typewriter keys. A dank macabre odor permeates the air. The great minds of the staff wrestle in the throes of creative passion. The curious eyes of the students flit by unnoticed, classes are forgotten, food is untouched, dates are unheeded, Life itself all but stops. At last the croaking voice of the Editor rends the air into shivering chunks, Well, is it ready? The eyes of the staff swing to him accusingly, the mist of unearthly dreams fade from their faces, they are silent. Finally the As- sociate Editor rises and the Editor cringes under his hard-eyed stare. At last with a sweep of his hand he begins, We . . . we ... He sinks to the floor sobbing while all stand in silent pity. At length he picks himself from the waste basket, head low, and mutters, There is nothing. We cannot find the humor. He collapses, and the Editor goes to the door and calls Napoleon, the janitor, who writes the Donkeypen. , The ... Kluef of tha DoT I(e5|)e n H. .ARK YE to His Illustrious Majesty, His Most Dandruffless Highness, His Exceedingly Exceeded Royal Personage, His Hairless Master of The Realm of The Shining Dome, — Dana Dawson, Jr. This Peer of the Realm possesses beauty unexcelled, charm unequaled, grace undisputed, personality un- contested, romance unwanted, smiles unsmiled, and hair ungrown. His noble profile starts at the nape of his neck and runs around and around, his is the loftiest brow of the campus, and his is the title of King of the Donkeypen. • Page 178 • Hall oi Blame Rosenblath, because she looks like an overstuffed plush horse prancing on the football field, because she thinks that those peroxide locks, that baby-doll pout, and that whiny voice do as much for her as they do for Jean Harlow, because she can ' t dance in step with the orchestra, because she tried and tried and still couldn ' t get her picture taken with Stokes, because she went off with the aforementioned Stokes, and left McCord flat (which might have been a stroke of genius at that) and because she is a living demonstration that the earth- worm isn ' t the only thing that can get along without? ? ? Roy Montgomery, because he tries to be collegiate when he leads a cheer and only succeeds in looking like a duck-billed Platapus, because the girls think he ' s sweet, because he firmly believes he ' s a campus Big Shot, because he wore his Sunday suit to school during Popularity contest week, because he ' s President of the T.K.N.s, because he likes to organize things — witness the Maroon Shirts, because he was put up for King of the Donkeypen and didn ' t even get that, because when he gets an idea it leaves him practically il- literate ( Sing as you have never SANG before ), and because he ' s one of those harmless but unpleasant little insects that are always underfoot and that nobody likes to have around. Jo Beth, because she calls herself Rosie by virtue of her ex-blond hair and her little sister pin (don ' t look now but that gives her the idea that she ' s the original Kappa Alpha rose), because she wore a hole in the bookstore counter trying to attract Johnnie Van ' s attention, because she has to think up silly jokes to get people to hold her hand, because she wants to be a big shot and can ' t quite make the grade, because she thinks being Stormy ' s little sister counts, (it does but not that way), and most of all because she can ' t take it when somebody makes a crack at her. Hall McCord, because he takes encores he doesn ' t get on Kollege Kaper trips, because he changes girls every week and declares each new flame is his true love, because he couldn ' t hold his own in geology lab., because he shines as fragrantly as that second-hand horse blanket, with sleeves, he insists on wearing, because of his unsophisticated attempts at sophistication, because he gives his opinion freely and unsolicited in spite of the fact that he never knows what he is talking about, because he corners profs and tries to im- press them with his outstanding (?) abilities, and finally because he just is. Page 179 A Journalist Looks dt Life and Love And Wishes He Hadn ' t When a writer goes to town To settle up or settle down He ' s in his hay-day, But it ' s not payday. No one pays attention When the Dean signs his suspension And the campus is rid of another good bum. Ho hum. With this touching little ballad everyone should be well in the spirit of the thing, at least everyone but the author and he probably isn ' t even interested. Love, ' tis said, has its roots deep in the soul, but with some of the people it has attacked here it would probably be better illustrated by saying it has settled in the heels. First case we will illustrate is that well-known long and short of it. The reference is, of course, to that Don Juan of the campus, dashing Edgar Friedenberg and his beautious I ' amour Virginia Carlton. From our ob- servations, chief speculation seemed to center around whether he came up to her waist or not. By painful methods we have concluded that he does come to her waist, but that he has to duck when he dances with her to avoid getting hit in the head. • Page 180 Another interesting affair of the diaphram is that of slow-talking Helen Finke, who seems determined to keep herself in the family at all costs. She progressed from last year ' s flame, Bill Fraser, to her this year ' s right arm, his duplicate brother, Richard. Investigation may decide whether she has made an improvement or not. At present even the fair lass herself wears a meditative expression. As the presses begin to roll, a new complication has arisen in the form and visage of K. A. -Brother Graves, who seems to be nosing out the whole Fraser family. Tommy Richardson (Chorus; He likes Judy, he likes Judy.) has divided his heart equally between (Chorus: (He likes Judy. He likes Judy.) the milk-white hands of (Chorus: He likes Judy. He likes Judy.) a luscious lady from that hilly country of Arkansas. (Chorus: Oh, darn that chorus.) His eyes hold the fire of a hill- billy troubadour when he sees (Chorus: He likes Judy. He likes . . . gurgle, gurgle supposedly illustrating a choking sound) the alluring face of . . . when he spies the heavenly eyes of . . . when he glimpses the di- vine form of . . . Aw, heck, we forgot her name. Romance reached a new level when it struck ittsy-bittsy Parry Stewart and not-so-ittsy-bittsy Dot Rippy. Just how she found a resemblance between Parry and her big-moment Kirkland of last season eludes us, but all kinds of things elude us so don ' t feel too badly. To get back to the subject (Chorus: For a change. Author: There ' s that damned thing again.) we have found that their favorite home is in the back seat of an automo- bile, anybody ' s auto, which only goes to show that blood is thicker than goose-grease, or you can ' t get ro- mance out of a turnip, or healthy, wealthy and wise a day keeps the doctor away, or who cares anyhow. Love number one, two, three, four, ad nausiam of Hall McCord is Hall McCord, preferably Hall McCord filled with the spiritous fermentus, which is bad Latin but good deduction. Prying away from his auto- biographical life temporarily, McCord retrieved that huge, glistening pin of his, and without waiting to polish it off bequeathed it upon a new display rack. Nice gal, too! By now we wish we had worn blinkers but even with those on the im.age of John Kurtz with Joy Clark haunts us. Everywhere we go we can still see them; sometimes it seems that they ' re everywhere, that ' s funny, they are. We can even be asleep and hear John making noise and Joy being quiet. Sometimes she gets so quiet that we feel that our eardrums are going to burst, but they never do. (Chorus: Aw, heck.) Sometimes she don ' t say so much of nothing that we feel that we ' re going crazy. (Author: Yah, fooled you that time.) Sometimes we think that we ' re never goinohn making noise and Joy being quiet. Sometimes (Author and Chorus: Thank God.)

Alpha Xi Delta This illustrious sisterhood was notably lacking in feminine pulchritude but top heavy with voting power. They threw their hefty carcasses wholeheartedly into the task of intimidating the lowly Frosh and the still more lowly football lugs until they emerged from the cess-pool of politics to find themselves the proud mothers of: one slightly battered but fairly intact Sponsor of the Yoncopin and May Queen; one loud but low Presi- dent in the person, or mouth, of Cornelia Row; one peroxide blonde Drum Major with no other points than a shiny baton; a cheerleader who possessed no particular features worth mentioning; two class officers of whom the less said the better; one beauty, Mary Ella Bartschmi d, who was beautiful but dumb, but, un- fortunately, not dumb enough. Chi Omega The bottom dropped out of Chi O this year though from the looks of some of them you ' d feel that it would never be missed. There were plenty of them here, but none of them quite all there. Their political crimes consist of: Mary Murff, who was an awfully snooty-beauty; Joy Clark, who would have won the Spon- sor Contest if she could have persuaded the other candidates to withdraw; Sis and Tibby, who both proudly displayed K. A. pins, which caused shivers of apprehension to run up every good Zeta ' s spine; one Osborn of the Kitty Jane, or common, variety; Sarah Williams, who was so darned nice that we couldn ' t think of a thing nasty to say about her; Aloyese Thorne, who was smart enough to get out of the organization and choose a fate-worse-than-death. (She got married). More parentheses — we hope. Zeta Tau Alpha Peak-reachers of the year in bringing politics to the greatest point of dirtiness is this smirking little group. Next year they will proudly present all of their this year ' s loot as inducements to Frosh who will probably be suckers enough to bite. Prospective chumps will be shown: Miss Centenary of ' 37; Queen Hutchinson of Homecoming whose glory may, or may not (who knows) (who cares) be mostly due to the shrewd election- eering of the beau-of-the-moment Hooper who tossed a litter of football signatures into her ballot box, the same applies to Nellie ' s Most Popular Girl conquest; President of the W. A. A. Genevieve Miller who bossed that scrawny association; and maybe, they will also illustrate their method of voting several times by writ- ing backwards. • Page 182 • or . . . Ddwson Hds No Hair Theta Kappa Nu Pappy of football lads in this Greek combination which is an amazing compound of brains and brawn with brains in the minority. Muscle-bound Gentlemen nearly all with a couple of nice people mixed in to keep up a passing average for the whole group, their year has been successful in the eyes of the alumni, at least, those whose eyes no longer function well. Chesty wearers of their insignia are: waddled-legged Hohmann who carried a football but no mental prestige. President of the Student Body and Senior Class Hooper to whom these posts were a parting gift from his political-dabbling predecessor, loud-faced Noisy Montgom- ery whose special talents no one yet has discovered, and an assorted lot of Freshmen muscles who may be had at half-price, or less. Lambda Theta Chi A self-termed nice bunch of fellows this group was also the campus leaders (ask any of them). Into their hands fell, by hook or by crook, (our dough goes on the latter) the unsavory gumbo of Yoncopinconglomerate, a hellacious conglomeration. Paul Entrikin (who will cuss like a sailor when he proof-reads this) who was Versatile and Editor, so what — , and Carstarphen who was sticky with goo which seeped over from his print- on-erstwhile-nice-sheets-of-white-paper-until-he-soiled-it. Among other things, the Lambdas had things which also ran in practically every contest of popularity on the campus. Kappa Alpha Kappa Alpha ' s chief concern this year has been to keep their reputation (they still suffer under the delusion that it is good), and to restore the grandure that was Greek and the glory that was glory, Biddy Tiffin did all he could to pay their bills from Conglomerate funds and at the same time keep slanderous slams out of the dirt columns. Johnny Van supported the brethren in bull sessions in the book store, while Rocks alone car- ried the flag of red and yallow into a field of sports other than ping pong. The band and Kollege Kapers were controlled by Southern Gentlemen, whose conduct on tours gave Centenary a rep that Mr. Shaw will have a hard time getting prospective freshmen to overlook. And just in case the fair sex should get together and say condemning words against the Gentlemen of the NEON LIGHT — these philandering fellows passed out pins to babes of all Greek organizations. Betty Lane and Pat from Alpha Xi Delta and Sis and Olga from Chi Omega do their ignoble best to support a cause past redemption. While about half the other lodge composes the Zeta Tau Alpha auxiliary of Tappa Keg chapter of Kappa Alpha, and proudly supports the stained and torn banner. Sigma Phi The local chapter of Sigma Phi broke all previous records and set an all time low for Greeks. They repre- sent the lowest type of Centenary goers (notice we don ' t even say Gentlemen). The things they don ' t hove are innumerable: no cars, no house, no gals, no nothing. Not even prestige, although Ed Dew did pole 28 votes in the last election (it was due to loyal brothers). If the bitter truth be told, they are too insignificant to have even a place in the Donkey pen, but got it because they bribed the editors so here you have them and now what are you going to do with them? But they do give good dances and lots of them, don ' t they!?! And somehow Stagg and Mason made good. • Page 183 • Saga of the Spasm I The Athenians come down like big wolves on the frosh.

Spasm III And then night after night and day after day Poor Rushee is rushed ' til she ' s tired of the fray — She rides in police wagons, shivers in courts. Hulas in grass skirts and slumbers in shorts. Spasm IV And she doesn ' t have time to make classes or eat. From the ceaseless barrage of the sisters who cheat. She ' s told that the Deltas are damnable drunks. Furthermore that the Sigmas are simpering skunks. Spasm V She ' s lectured with eloquence fit for the bar What the thousand advantages of Gamma are. The victim continually heaves a deep sigh And powders dark circles from under her eye. Spasm VI Fateful day now arrives — the enlistment begins — They go in wearing smiles and come out wearing pins. For her there is nothing considered too low — ' Til elections come ' round where she might have a show! Spasm VII So she thinks now of nothing but dances and dates.
