COPYRIGHT NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY A RECORD OF A YEAR OF LIFE AT CENTENARY COLLEGE OF LOUISIANA CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS FEATURES HUMOR Paul M. Brown, Jr. Secretary of the Board ot Trustees E EW STUDENTS at Centenary College fully appreci- ate the debt they owe to Paul M. Brown, Jr., who has so unselfishly given of his time and ability to serve the College and its student body. As a member of the Board of Trustees for the past seven years., and as its present secretary, Mr. Brown has done much to further the growth and development of Centenary. A grad- uate of the College, and the son of a graduate, he knows well the traditions which are a vital part of Cen- tenary ' s heritage, and has seen that the best of the past be blended with the progress of the present for the fu- ture prosperity of the College. Therefore, in apprecia- tion of his invaluable service and painstaking efforts on behalf of Centenary, the students are happy to dedicate the Nineteen Hundred Forty Yoncopin to him. Mr. T. L. James Chairman of the Board of Trus- tees, T. L. James is actively in- terested in the life of Centenary College. It was largely due to his untiring efforts, and to the assistance of the board he heads, that the Student Union Building was erected. Chairman of the Board Board of Trustees Officers T. L. James B.

YONCOPIN STAFF This year was an inspiring one for the Yoncopin staif. Growth and development are always exciting to record, particularly when of the type that occurred at Centenary since the last publication date of the an- nual. Members of the staff, headed for the second year by Grace Julian, found much to spur their pens when the time came to record the story of the year. A new building — the ever popular Sub — had opened. A change in the athletic department was made. Two new fraternities made their appearance on the cam- pus, along with the many new faces which each registration date brings. Along with these marks of devel- opment, the Yoncopin also had the job of reporting the many varied phases of student activity and of recording the results of the c ontests it sponsors. True to the trend of the times, the Yearbook adopted a more informal style of presenting these events; and more pictures, more individuality, and more humor were the results. To this end, the staff spent most of its evenings scribbling away in the newly renovated office which has for years been the retreat of the journalistically inclined. Incidentally, this year ' s staff will vie for beauty honors with any other similar organization in the country for, with the exception of artist Bill Graham and humorist Frank Word, the members were as fair a set as could be assembled at one time. Tending to financial affairs this year was Business Manager George Fair, and the whole set-up was again under the supervision of Professor Robert See. Some of the staff check lists . . .

Sherman, Ethel Kramer, Elizabeth Davis, Arthur Crawford, Sudie Baker Long before bells tolled the opening day of school, Conglomerate heads were busy planning the 1939- 1940 year at Centenary from the newshound ' s standpoint. It was decided to make the weekly publication become more and more an expression of student opinion rather than that of the staff. With this view in mind students were interviewed and these interviews published, showing the male ver- sion of, or aversion to, female dress, and vice versa; with the result that several spirited controversies on this and other topics under discussion were raised. A double edition of the Conglomerate was on hand to greet the returning alumni on Homecoming Day, and a special Christmas edition was given to the students. One of the biggest hits in the paper this year was the mysterious appearance of a series of murder mysteries, in which campus personalities GLOMERATE were annihilated in clever literary form, to the deliqht of the reading public. As usual, Conglomeration ranked high in the favor of readers, who prefer their dirt dished out straight. Editor Beatrice Carlton, assisted by Ursula Crawford and Russell Stewart, associate editors, pulled the curtains on several scoops during the school year, while Business Manager Rollo Florsheim kept up with the financial end, thus assuring a prosperous and happy year to the Of- ficial Publication of the Oldest College West of the Mississippi.

CENTENARY ' S BAND During the school year 1939-1940 the Band division of the Centenary School of Music, under the di- rection of O. Lincoln Igou, and the student management of Russell Stewart, rendered increasing service to the community and campus. A larger number of musicians and better instrumentation were only two of the great improvements over the preceding years. Probably the most spectacular innovation was the method of using flashlights to make formations at the night games. This novel method of illumination intrigued spectators and band members alike, for it necessitated a great deal of running around on a darkened field, with the result that neither audience nor band knew what might happen next. The band practices a new number to entertain Saturday ' s football crowds. The colorful maroon and white uniforms of the band and Maroon Jackets are being recognized as representative of the progress of present and future years of music appreciation. The band, led by the Maroon Jackets, performed at all the home games and made two trips, one to Rice Institute in Houston on October 7, and the other to Louisiana Tech at Ruston on November 30. A large number of students and faculty members attended both of these games, also. During the fall, the Maroon Jackets and band participated in three downtown parades, where Drum Major Charles Strickland made a lasting impression with his flaming baton. Lorraine ORoark, pop- ular and prominent Zeta, and a member of the Sophomore class, was chosen by the band as its of- ficial Sweetheart early in the year and accompanied the band on all the trips thereafter. p  (h (ft fmi ' Hi ' l The invasion of Houston.

Headed by an all-star cast of actors, backed by a large group of the best vocalists on the campus, who in turn are supported by the best orchestra of Kapers history, the performances are sources of real pleasure to both audience and cast. Serving in different capacities for the second time are congenial, com- petent Mai Mcllwain as Master of Ceremonies, Charles Peters and Charles Knight with their trumpets, Harris Butler with his soft clarinet, Bill Graham with his slide trombone and witty pencil, Billy Kathryn Pryor with her laughter bringing dance, Jo Beth Nelson, who never hits the wrong key on the piano, Hugh White, who plays comedian and drummer with equal gusto.

STUDENT UNION Newest and most attractive addition to the cam- pus is Centenary ' s Student Union Building. A familiar sight in the college book store and post office, which is located in the Union, is Brother Riggs, one of (he mosl beloved of all the faculty. ERE Center of all campus activity is the new Student Union Building, popularly nicknamed the SUB , where students and faculty meet between classes or in free hours to eat, play ping pong, get mail, play bridge, or talk. Completely modern, the Sub has long shady porches at the front and back entrances, which afford a beautiful vista of the rolling front lawn, or the shady brick walk to South Hall, depending on the observer ' s location. Two ping pong tables are in constant use, as are the many coke, popcorn and music machines which adorn the sides of the main hall. Here, at the numerous groups ot tables and chairs, incessant games of bridge or dominoes are in progress. In the left wing is the cafeteria, wmcn furnishes hungry students with a bite to eat at all hours, while the right wing houses the book store una meeting rooms. The Sub supplies a long felt need on the campus, tor it provides a general meeting place ior tne student body, and furnishes them with an opportunity for recreation and refreshment as well. Special groups have particular hours when they may use the building for their meetings, and it is available at night for ban- quets or other functions. But chiefly it is the place where every student goes to meet every other student in his leisure hours.

To them is due the credit lor supervising and lurnishing the building, and lor many other noteworthy campus activities. To the superior student belongs the distinction of membership in an honorary organization and the possibility that, come graduation, his name will be engraved on the plaque of Honor Graduates which two senior candidates are examin- ing in the picture at right.

Vice President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary- Treasurer . . . . Beatrice Carlton John Koelemay Chrystine Moore Dorothy Franks Cleve Farnell Standing as a goal toward which all Junior and Senior intellectuals strive is membership in Centenary ' s Alpha Chi, the honorary fraternity for upperclass men and women. Members are those fortunate students who have succeeded in surviving the elimination contest held every nine weeks to decide which ten per cent of the students have the highest grades. Founded way back in the year 1925 the organization has ever since upheld the lofty, un- bending standards of its originators, and it is a noteworthy honor to receive a bid to Alpha Chi. Meetings are held only when the club has something definite in mind, such as the initiation of new members, which occurs any time after nine weeks grades are out; always provided any Juniors or Seniors make the necessary grades. Other annual activities consist of the awarding of a leather, gold engraved notebook to the most outstanding freshman of the year, and the sponsoring of a chapel program on the members ' favorite topic: Wisdom. Alpha Chi serves as a constant reminder of all smart little Alpha Sigma Pi ' s to uphold their high scholastic record throughout their four years, and to others to raise their grades, in order to qualify for a bid to this most honorable of honorary organizations. ALPHA CHI ALPHA SIGMA CHI Officers President Billy Mims Allums Vice President Richard Knight Secretary-Treasurer Beverly Blood Students who comprise the membership of Alpha Sigma Chi, the honorary Chemistry frat- ernity on the campus, are necessarily second year chemistry students, who maintain a C plus average in their lab courses and who have passed the unanimous vote of all members. It is an organization whereby those interested in Chemistry may meet and discuss current events in their chosen field and talk over problems that may arise. The regular meetings are held semi-monthly on the first and third Thursdays of each month, but in addition to this, every Monday morning finds the members assembling during the chapel period for a bull session and reading of current papers on chemistry. During the Thursday meetings interest- ing talks are sponsored, one of the outstanding speakers being the prominent Dr. Keen. This spring, the Louisiana Academy of Science plans to meet here and some outstanding members of Alpha Sigma Chi will in all probability give papers before the gathering. The interests of the organization are, however, not all purely academic as the members give many picnics and informal parties. They, like some of their brother fraternities, are noted for their unique initiations. Back row — C. Knight, Moody, R. Knight, Tyler, Dean Front row — Dr. Thayer, Allums, Blood, Dr. Entiiken.

This group, sponsored by Dean of Women, Mrs. A. R. Camp- bell, was organized at Centenary in 1931, at the same time some twenty other leading colleges and univers- ities founded chapters, and has had a most successful existence since that time. Open to Freshmen and Sophomores with high scholastic standings, the fraternity has played an active part in campus affairs. HMHiA mid-A Barton, Blaxton, Borum, Bowers, Brown . . .

ALPHA SIGMA PI PI MU SIGMA Officers President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Charles Armistead Theus Armistead Beverly Blood Organized in 1925 on the Centenary Campus, Pi Mu Sigma devotes itself solely to science. The meetings, held on the second and fourth Thursday of every month, are forums for the discussion of current problems in the medical world. On these occasions prominent Shreveport doctors or Centenary graduates address the group and answer questions of scientific interest. Membership is limited to those pre-med students who have completed two semester courses in science with a minimum C plus average and who have the unanimous ballot of the group. Each new initiate is required to present a 1500 word thesis on some phase of biology to the club, in addition to undergoing the arduous initiation ritual for which the fraternity is famous. Plans for the year include the annual reunion in the spring when former pre-med students return to their Alma Mater to recount their experiences in the world of medicine, and the meeting of the Louisiana Academy of Science — a long awaited event. With Miss Mary Warters as the active sponsor and Charles Armistead as the capable president the group continues to devote its days and nights to the acquisition of medi- cal knowledge and the furtherance of its ideals. 41 A ± l± lM Members Charles Armistead Theus Armistead Billy Mims Allums Beverly Blood Alfred Bullock George Cummings Ray Goens Carlton Graff Gus Hoyer Albert Khoury Charles Knight burchall lyles Douglas McKay Tom Tyler Jarvis Waller Allums, C.

Organized in 1929 on the Centenary campus, the French Club has proved itself to be one of the most active and efficient of the departmental groups, completing this year one of its most successful and progressive seasons, with Margaret Brown as president and under the sponsorship of Doctor E. L. Ford. For a central theme on which to base its activity, the club chose France Today and the monthly pro- grams dealt with various aspects of modern French life. At each meeting, some prominent speaker presented a talk on a particular field of interest in France today. To supplement this material, club members were appointed to give a biographical or historical sketch as background for the subject concerned. Speakers who were featured on various programs were College Professors Bryant Davidson, S. D. Morehead, J. B. Entrikin, Don Brown, Ralph Squires, Albert Martini, and Doctor A. M. Serex, Presiding Elder of the Methodist Church in Louisiana, and Miss Marie Therese Le Blanc, Instructor in French, Byrd High School. At the last meeting of the semester, the club was host to the French Clubs of Byrd and Fair Park High Schools and Dodd College at a picnic supper, at which time Doctor Ford showed the beautiful techni- color movies of his European tour, thus culminating a highly successful year. THE FRENCH CLUB THE SPANISH CLUB Officers President . Gilbert Hetherwick Vice President . Elise Montgomery Secretary-Treasurer . Bobby Moody When studying Spanish, do as the Spaniards do was the motto this department club endeavored to live up to in all its varied activities, and a project which it accomplished with a high degree of suc- cess. At each monthly meeting a aualified speaker discussed some phase of Spanish or South Amer- ican life and Spanish songs and games were participated in by the group. One of the most interesting addresses presented to the club was that by Richard M. Walford, Jr., who gave a vivid account of his experien;es in South America. Other plans included a Spanish Song Program and the annual Pan-American Day observance, which is conducted in chapel by this group. On this occasion interpretations of South American songs and dances were given and talks commenting upon the significance of Pan-Americanism presented by members of [he Spanish Club. Most enjoyable of the year ' s activities was the Mexican supper, which was held this year as always, at a restaurant specializing in the torrid delicacies of Sunny Spain. Due to the sponsorship of El Senor Blanco, otherwise known as Professor White, and Mrs. Leroy Mor- wood, the club has continued to function as one of Centenary ' s most capable and progressive organ- izations and one which furnishes a maximum of service and enjoyment to its members. Th.3 Spanish Club enjoys an informal meeting on the campus.

Yancy PSI DELTA CHI Officers President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Ashley Sibley Frank Keith Truett McConneell Psi Delta Chi, Centenary Honorary Psychology Society, was organized in 1937, under the name of the Psychology Discussion Club, for which the Greek letters of the present honor society stand. The organization was an outgrowth of a Mental Hygiene Society created through the efforts of Dr. Young, Professor of Psychology at L. S. U. and was sponsored by Dr. C. L. Odom, then Professor of Psychology at Centenary. The present society consists of members of the Psychology department classes, who have an average of B or above in that subject, these restrictions being set up when the group re-organized this year. There are at present nearly fifty members of the society. Psi Delta Chi is affiliated with the Louisiana State Mental Hygiene Society, and has as its purpose the development of its members and others in all forms of Psychology and Mental Hygiene through individual and group action. Meetings are held the second Thursday in every month of the school year at which time outstanding speakers address the group on subjects pertaining to Psychology.

Officers President Grace Julian Vice-President Martha Hamner Secretary-Treasurer Ashley Sibley One of the most active of the honorary fraternities, Chi Sigma Nu launched an interesting program for the further instruction and enlightenment of its members, the future teachers of Louisiana. At each of the monthly meetings some prominent educator addressed the group, chief of these being Dr. Bruno Strauss, Mr. R. H. White, Miss Taylor, Mr. F. L. Miller, and Miss Lilla McClure. In connection with various discussions brought on by these roundtables, the group under- took two noteworthy projects. The members entertained the Gayarre History Club of Byrd High School at an interesting exhibit of Centenary ' s historical relics; and also visited one of Shreveport ' s trade schools. To climax the year ' s activity, the organization gives one purely social affair, the annual skating party, which is one of the most enjoyable of campus affairs. Mambers of Chi Sigma Nu are hand picked from the upper percentile groups of the educa- tion classes, and must possess a B average, and a vital interest in their chosen work. Only a certain number are admitted at each pledging, so those who receive the unanimous approval of the members, and are extended a bid, may congratulate themselves. Once again this year the presidency of the order fell to Grace Julian, while Professor Ewerz con- tinued to supervise and encourage the rapid progress of the group. CHI SIGMA NU THE COMMERCE CLUB Officers President Robert Webster Vice President Sidney Turner Secretary Kathryn Blackwell Treasurer Lloyd DeMoss Since capable Professor Robert See, head of this department, founded the Commerce Club in 1938, this or- ganization has become one of the most active clubs on the campus. The membership has previously been limited to advanced accounting students and night school students, but this year has been opened to all commerce and economics students interested in any form of activity in the business world. The purpose of the group is to further the interest of the students by keeping them in contact with financial and economic affairs in the modern world. Outstanding business men of the city have addressed the group on various occasions to stimulate the interest of the members. Among those who have accepted invitations to speak this year are Mr. Harry Viser, prominent accountant; Mr. Wade, chief account- ant of Coca Cola Bottling Company; and Mr. Walter Jacobs. Members of the night class who are already in the business world have proved themselves very helpful to the organization. Sam Peters, Waylan Pearce, and Mason Fester have presented talks on various occasions. Mason Foster has already passed the business law and auditing sections of the Certified Public Accounting Examination, which is considered an outstanding achievement. To climax another successful year, the club plans to hold its annual banquet, under the supervision of indus- trious president Robert Webster, who has greatly contributed to the progress and achievement of the group.

The teams, composed of John Woods, Joe Stephens, Clint Teacle, Robert Webster, John Marshall, and Donn Thompson, engaged in numerous matches, with highly successful results. Debating against Centenary representatives were teams from Ouachita College, T. C. U., Southwestern, and Hendricks College, the Alma Mater of Coach Bryant Davidson; and, in addition, two teams were sent from the college to th e tournament at Natchitoches. The Centenary team is a member of Pi Kappa Delta, national debating society, and upperclassmen who have participated in a certain number of debates are privileged to wear the key of the order. In addition to the distinction of belonging to such an organization, the debaters also get the benefit of college credit for their efforts. The faculty committee, composed of Professor Bryant Davidson, Dr. S. A. Steger Dr. S. D. Morehead, Profes- sor Darrell Overdyke, and Mrs. A. R. Campbell, contributed greatly to the success of the team this year, and aided them in many ways. Members of the Debate Club confer with Mr. Davidson.

Officers President James Stovall Vice President John Koelemay Secretary-Treasurer Stanley Kirkland Sponsor Dean R. E. Smith In past years, the Ministerial Club has functioned as an organized group to promote religious activi- ties on the campus and in the community. Since the Committee on Religious Activities of the Student Senate is serving in this capacity, the Club organized this year only as a fraternal and professional group. The Club has not promoted an extensive program this year, but has emphasized that its mem- bers cooperate with other clubs. The meetings have been held every other Friday, at which time some outstanding minister or layman would appear on the program. Special activities of the year were a Christmas Party and the Annual Banquet. The Ministerial Club numbers in its ranks many sincere workers in the field of religion. Among these honorary members are Dean R. E. Smith, President Cline, Dean Hardin, Bishop Hoyt M. Dobbs, Dr. A. M. Serex, all Methodist pastors of Shreveport, and all ex-ministerial students of Centenary, who encour- age and advise this organization in every possible way. THE MINISTERIAL CLUB BIT AND BRIDLE CLUB Officers President Paulyn Gill Vice President Mary Marie Hogg Secretary Mary Murff Treasurer Ann Robinson Coming to the campus this year as a new organization is the Centenary Bit and Bridle Club, which is composed of a group of college Co-eds who are bound together by a common interest, the sport of horseback riding. A large percentage of its members are experienced horsewomen, but experience is no requirement, and novices are welcomed into the circle and find it easy enough to acquire the needed knowledge. The activities of the club consist of regularly scheduled rides once a week and, in addi- tion, moonlight rides are enjoyed once a month by the seventeen girls who make up the membership. On the latter occasions the girls meet at the Woman ' s Dormitory, clad in riding habits and supplied with a picnic supper, from whence they depart on a gala ride. For one of the youngest clubs on the campus this organization has progressed steadily during the year and prides itself on the pleasure it has afforded its members. Under the enthusiastic sponsorship of Mrs. Bryant Davidson, physical education instructor, and the capable leadership of its President, Paulyn Gill, it continues to hold its own among the older clubs on the campus. Members of the Bit and Bridle Club pause long enough to have their pictures made before setting off on a brisk canter.

Largely responsible for the movement are the charter mem- bers: Dorothy Franks, Ethel Cady, Alline Day, Chrystine Moore, Billie Cady, Lois Philyaw, Ethel Fulton, Hessie Gaston, Joan Pfau, Joyce Reed, and Juanita Ryland, who were sponsored by Mrs. Bryant Davidson and Mrs. A. R. Campbell. In spite of its youth, however, the club boasts many outstanding members. Particularly noteworthy are Beverly Blood, Who ' s Who, Chairman of Chapel Committee, President of Dormitory Council, and an officer of both Pi Mu Sigma and Alpha Sigma Chi; Lois Philyaw, President of Maroon Jackets; Dorothy Franks, Maroon Jackets, Leader of Religious Activities; Juanita Ryland, Duchess of Harvest Festival, Maroon Jacket; and Ethel Cady, Assistant Editor of Yoncopin and a Maroon Jacket. The Aufait ' s confined their social activities to informal affairs this year, mainly open houses and picnics; and participated in such campus activities as basketball, where their team won outstanding recognition. The group also possesses one of the highest scholastic averages. Baker, Brown, B. Cady, E. Cady, Dixon, Durr, Else . . . Franks, Gaston, Gibson, Kendall, E. Kramer, V. Kramer, Lefkovits . . .

CO-ED ACTIVITIES ■ will- ■ THE One of the W.A.A. campers discovers a beautiful natural pool in the Ouachita ll Mountains. The local chapter of the W.A.A. , national organiza- tion of women athletes, was inaugurated at Cente- nary in the year 1924-25, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Bryant Davidson. The group sponsors many ac- tivities and opened its program this year with soft- ball as the first sport on the calendar. Basketball tournaments captured the interest of everyone during the winter months, to be followed by ping pong, archery, skating, badminton, swimming, tennis, vol- leyball and horseback riding as Spring came on. In- dividual teams were organized in each sport, and from these championship teams were picked to rep- resent the college against other schools. The social activities of the W.A.A. were numerous and varied. A picnic, swimming party, supper hike, hay ride, skating party, sailing party and a camp- ing trip were among the outings enjoyed by the members. Tennis and golf are only two of the sports in which W.A.A. members excel. Bea reaches for a high one while Paulyn Gill tries for a hole- in-one. w n . J . jt _ 1 Jr J_i i I Two events which the W.A.A. promotes are Stunt Night and May Day. The Stunt Night is usually held around April Fool ' s Day and each campus group presents a skit, the best of which receives a loving cup of candy kisses as a prize. This year the Chi Omegas were presented the award. The May Festival is celebrated by all members of Centenary College. On this occasion the May Queen is crown- ed and an elaborate pageant presented. To culminate the year ' s program the W.A.A. holds its annual banquet, at which time letters and awards are presented, and plans made for the annual summer camping trip. This trip to Camp Albert Pike in the Ouachita Mountains is the most eagerly awaited and longest remembered of all the many W.A.A. activities.

THE CENHOMEC CLUB Officers President Secretary-Treasurer Billie Cady Lurline Yeary The Cenhomec Club was organized in 1939 under the sponsorship of Miss Mary Lou Ware, instructor of Home Economics. The club is for those interested in domestic science and the decoration, care, and man- agement of the home. Billie Cady, who served as the first president, was also the president for this year, 1939-1940. To be eligible for membership girls must not only show interest, but they must also have out- standing qualities and satisfactory grades. This year the club took a great step in its forward progress when it affiliated with the National Home Economics Clubs, and took its place among the honorary fraternities of Centenary College. The pro- gram of the year was on travel, and many distinguished persons spoke, and technicolor pictures of Europe were shown. The organization also took part in the state convention and sent a delegate to the annual Con- vention of Home Economics Clubs.

This year the Maroon Jackets took on even more duties in accordance with their position as the official hostesses of Centenary College and proved to be as successful in their new undertaking as they have been in the past. Long recognized as a unit of the marching band, the Maroon Jackets drum corps kept its place at the head of the band and led that group through the many intricate formations required by flashlight drills at all the night games. In addition to their marching, the Jackets assisted the faculty by serving as guides at registration time, by greeting the various teams who opposed the Gents throughout the season, and by ushering at all college banquets, programs and at chapel exercises — a tedious and difficult job. For these duties the twelve girls, three from each campus group, received many privileges. They accom- panied the band on two specials, were featured as Centenary ' s outstanding girls, and received the intangible but coveted honor of wearing the Maroon Jacket of their college. Two special ceremonies marked this year ' s program. One was the presentation of Maroon Jacket keys to the graduating members and to Mrs. A. R. Campbell — their devoted sponsor, who conceived the idea which has been copied by other colleges all over the nation, and the other was their ninth anniversary as the first and most outstanding of similar groups.

Dedicated solely to the lighter things of life, the CenCoes ac- complish a great deal by way of establishing a more friendly feeling among sororities, which is quite an undertaking. Eligible for membership are upper class town girls only, and each sorority is represented by ten girls. Officers are determined by alternation and at present Fay Forshee holds the gavel, replacing Marjorie Schilling upon her withdrawal from the college. Chief among the CenCoes monthly activities is the delightful Spring Pro- gram dance, which is as unique as the group itself. Lyric by PAUL GIBBONS Little Fraternity Pin From the Warner Bros.

O E-i O E-i W CQ The Zetas, in their distinctive blue and gray uniforms, started rolling up their score of hon- ors early this year by electing several class of- ficers and one freshman cheerleader. Next came the Freshman Beauty Contest, with four Zeta pledges in the running, one of whom was selected by Vincent Lopez as one of his two candidates for Freshman Queen. Also promi- nent are Cutest Girl Jean Miles and Most Pop- ular Girl Helen Heath who won these positions in the Popularity Contest. Homecoming of ' 39 was truly a Zeta day. Their first lady, Miss Martha Shepherd, was elected to reign over the occasion, after an excitingly close election. At the game the chapter pre- sented a much needed water wagon to the team, and was in turn presented a $10 check by the Homecoming Committee for showing the most school spirit of any of the organizations participating in the occasion. Outstanding members the lodge will lose by graduation this year are too numerous for the comfort of the survivors. After two years serv- ice as president, Martha Shepherd will leave her office with a noteworthy string of honors behind her. This year Shep was Homecoming Queen, Centenary Lady, a Beauty, Secretary to the Student Body, a class officer, Maroon Jacket, a CenCoe, a Pan-Hellenic representa- tive, and a member of Who ' s Who. Grace Jul- ian, vice-president of the lodge is also vice- president of Pan-Hellenic, has twice served as an officer of the Maroon Jackets, twice been elected president of Chi Sigma Nu, twice been editor-in-chief of the Yoncopin, twice been elect- ed Most Versatile Girl, is Co-ed Vice-President of the Student Body and is a member of Who ' s Who. Treasurer Helen Webb stars in athletics as well as many other things for the girls of the White House. She has twice been chosen Best Girl Athlete, is a Maroon Jacket, treas- urer of the CenCoes, Who ' s Who member, and also retained possession of the Sponsor Cup again this year.

T A U ALPHA ■VTl Wk w to Chi Omega started the year off right by plac- ing four of her members in the class officer election and continued to maintain the same percentage of success throughout the season. Three of the freshman beauties and one fresh- man cheerleader wore the colors of the cardi- nal and straw as did other outstanding campus personalities. The chapter as a whole con- tinued its program of Monday night suppers, and further extended the now famous red-bud lane which graces the campus. In addition to such praiseworthy activity, the girls of the X and the horseshoe built a white brick wall to set off their blue house from the rest of the South Hall group. Leader of the Chi O ' s this year was diminu- tive Olga Thibodeaux, who in addition to her responsibilities as president, took on the extra duties of handling the funds and recording the minutes of Pan-Hellenic. Tibby is also a CenCoe of long standing and a Maroon Jacket. Another prominent member who bids the cam- pus good-by this June is Beatrice Carlton. Bea has a fine hand for figures and money matters, fcr she not only served her lodge as treasurer, but handled the financial affairs of the Student Body and the Maroon Jackets as well. Along with these titles go the equally admirable ones of Conglomerate Editor, CenCoe, Who ' s Who. Vice-President Eilleen Maynard was mother to the fine group of Chi O pledges, vice-president of the CenCoes, secretary of the Junior class, a member of the Conglomerate staff and a Ma- roon Jacket. In addition to these shining lights, there are numerous others who take an active part in Kollege Kapers, Student Senate, and other organizations, all of whom contributed to the fine reputation which Chi Omega has upheld throughout her twelve years on the Centenary Campus.

E-i w PQ Although the youngest of the campus sororities, Alpha Xi Delta, established here in 1931, is noted for its active participation in every phase of campus life. This year was no exception, for the girls of the two tone blue and gold stepped forward to claim their share of honors. Five of the freshman beauty candidates were Alpha Xi pledges, and the final election won an overwhelming majority for Gloria Perkin- son as Freshman Queen. Other Alpha Xi ' s are prominent in Kollege Kapers, various honorary organizations and extra-curricula activity. Chief of these is Marguerite Lockhart, thrice cheerleader for the Gents, a CenCoe, one of Centenary ' s Who ' s Who Representatives, class officer, Student Senate member, president of Pan-Hellenic. Locky also served as president of the chapter in her Junior year. This year ' s number one lady of the lodge is Martha O ' Neal, a CenCoe, Maroon Jacket, a Pan-Hellenic representative, and a Cenhomec member. Marjorie Schilling, past president of the CenCoes and a Maroon Jacket, is another outstanding member, as is Frances Goodson, who is a class officer, member of Student Sen- ate, Pan-Hellenic representative, a CenCoe — and next year ' s president of the chapter. Helen Dwire, who was re-elected Kappa Sigma spon- sor, is prominent in Kollege Kapers and is a staff member of the Conglomerate and also a class officer; while Ursula Crawford helps put out the school paper in her capacity as associ- ate editor. If this doesn ' t prove the versatility for which the Alpha Xi ' s are noted, there are plenty more ready to show you what they can do. The Alpha Xi ' s live in a rustic English style lodge on the campus which is the scene of mcfny of their social activities, highlight of which is the annual Founder ' s Day Banquet and Dance.

X I DELTA PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL Pan-Hellenic kept the upper hand in all sorority conflicts again this year, but it had a hard time doing it, for rushing careened on in its customary hectic way, which adds so much joy to the lives of rushees and so much grief to those of the Greeks. A saner and more sensible season was the motto adopted by this group, and accordingly, they eliminated summer rushing of any sort, allowing only two brief periods in the spring and fall for the organized groups to get in their dirty work. These and other rules were explained to the rushees at the Pan-Hellenic teas — one given in the early spring and one in the fall. An innovation for the group this year was the collection of a Pan-Hellenic fee from each pledge, with which collective wealth the group threw one of the super special affairs of the season — the highly successful Homecoming Dance. Pan-Hellenic apparently has nothing to. worry its pretty head about. Officers President . . Marguerite Lockhart Vice-President .... Grace Julian Secretary-Treasurer .

Whether this shall prove to be a wise decision or a colossal blunder remains to be seen, but at least the Council is trying. All of which shows that this group of representatives of each sorority, under the leadership of Marguerite Lockhart, is doing its bit towards the establishment of a successful plan by which Greek may meet Greek and not engage in mortal conflict, but may pursue their affairs in a more friendly and mutually helpful spirit. The entire group poses for a picfure at the installation banquet. Fifty-four years, to the day, after Epsilon Chapter was first chartered at Centenary College, Louisiana, the charter of the chapter was revived by the Supreme Executive Committee of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. And on October 27, 1939, five officers of Gamma Chap- ter at Louisiana State University — a chapter that had been estab- lished by old Epsilon in 1887 — initiated the charter members of the revived chapter, ably assisted by Worthy Grand Treasurer George R. Rea and District Grand Master George Reymond. That evening, the Kappa Sigmas with their wives and dates, gathered around a huge banquet table in the Washington-Youree Hotel, where President Pierce Cline and Dean John A. Hardin delivered ad- dresses warmly welcom- ing Kappa Sigma to the campus. The group ad- journed from the banquet hall to the Sky Line Roof, where a formal dance was held, attended by repre- sentatives of chapters in Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas and many invited guests.

INSTALLATION OF KAPPA SIGMA w w E-h On K O S After the pomp and ceremony of their installa- tion as one of Centenary ' s newest, and still oldest, fraternity chapters had died away, the Kappa Sigmas settled down to hard work and lots of it to maintain their rightful place on the campus. It is a difficult task for any chapter to begin life again after a lapse of thirty-five years, particularly one which must uphold the traditions and standards of such a time honor- ed organization as Kappa Sigma. The fratern- ity traces its history back to the founding at the University of Virginia in 1869, but the spirit embodied in the ritual dates back to European traditions of the University of Bologna in the year 1400, where a society of students was founded and spread throughout the continent to make connections with one of the early members of Kappa Sigma who was visiting in Europe. The local chapter, though occupied with in- stallation and transition from a local to a na- tional body, has found time to pledge thirty- nine picked men, the largest group pledged by any fraternity on the campus, and numbering men in all phases of student activities includ- ing Student Senate, Maroon Shirts, the School Band, Conglomerate, Yoncopin and inter-mural sports. Many have received honors by election to honorary positions, including student ap- pointments, honorary fraternities, and Who ' s Who in American Colleges. o hJ m ' M i £ : Numbered among the prominent local alumni of the fraternity are the two federal district judges, Gaston L. Porterie and Ben Dawkins; one judge on the state appellate court, Harmon Drew; City Attorney Joe Jackson, and many others such as James E. Smitherman, Joe Barks- dale, Wilbur V. Lunn, and Melvin Johnson, at- torneys; Dr. C. P. Rutledge, Tom Tanner, Dick Hale, Marlin Drake, Douglas Chew, and Elmo Lee. CO a. w National officers and the local ' s vice-president pose . . .

P A SIGMA H E-i o o Oh i-: l The KA ' s, not to be outdone by their newly af- filiated national competitors, walked away with a tidy collection of honors to prove that this year, as in previous years, the boys who keep an eye on heaven and the ladies can do mighty well for themselves. Early in the year they elected various and sundry members to three class officerships, four presidential posi- tions in honorary clubs and won the additional honor of having five of their members appoint- ed student assistants. When the thoughts of the college turned to foot- ball so did those of the boys across the street with beneficial results. They won the cup awarded to the best fraternity float in the Home- coming parade, won the football inter-mural championship for the third consecutive year, and were ably represented in the sport itself by center Snookie Padgett. Cheering the Gentlemen for his second year was the per- sonality boy of the campus, Mai Mcllwain, who also did an excellent job in the Student Senate and as master of ceremonies for Kapers, where as usual, the KA ' s dominated the entertain- ment world. Among the outstanding members of the chap- ter is President Lamar Bain, who guided the group through such a successful year. Equally prominent are Bill Steger, newly elected K.A. president, twice winner of the title of Most Ver- satile Boy, vice-president of the Student Body and possessor of innumerable organization titles; Mai Mcllwain and Snookie Padgett, whose accomplishments have been mentioned heretofore; Henry Shuey, who also holds num- erous student body and honorary offices, and Burchall Lyles, elected Centenary ' s Most Hand- some Boy. Newcomer to the mansion this year was Mrs. Mollie Mcllwain, who served the group as housemother and helped Prexy Bain keep the boys in line, for with the accumulated honors of the year — the KA ' s are hard to hold.

H W [XI o ! H The fall semester witnessed the results of an- other merger on the Centenary Campus. Former T.K.N. ' s returned to college to discover that their fraternity had joined hands national- ly with Lambda Chi Alpha and that henceforth they, and a few Lambda Theta Chi ' s who had come into the fold, would be known as such. Starting the year with ten members and four- teen pledges, the boys took down their old shingle and hung up a new one but that, and the appearance of several new badges, was about all the difference the union made. Still primarily a football fraternity, on this campus at least, the chapter boasts such shining lights as Jimmy Patterson, Weenie Bynum, Joe Steeples and Ed Whitehurst, all popular, grid- iron stars, and such basketball wizards as Flash Harmon and Tyler Pirtle. Theta Rho-Zeta, which is the impressive title borne by this chapter, is one of Lambda Chi Alpha ' s 104 active members and can now boast that it belongs to one of the largest and strongest of social fraternities. The Lambda ' s chief claims to fame lie in such campus notables as Jimmy Patterson, former head of the chapter, and president of the stu- dent body, class president, Who ' s Who, Cen- tenary Gentleman, Most Popular Boy, and foot- ball star; Weenie Bynum, Best Athlete, Who ' s Who, and class officer; C. E. Ewing, Student Senate, Who ' s Who and Cheerleader; and Louis Progule, Little Theatre star. Fraternity officers are elected twice a year, and the destiny of the Lambda ' s was govern- ed by Jimmy Patterson and Carlton Graff, suc- cessively. James Pittman served both terms as vice-president, as did C. E. Ewing, treasurer. Billy Alston was succeeded by Frank Bryson as secretary. Fraternity projects for the year included the Union Day ceremonies on October 1 1 , followed by a reception at the Skyline Room; the forma- tion of a Mother ' s Club and a strong Alumni organization; and the renovation of the house.

C H I ALPHA INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL Among the many changes in fraternity life which the year brought was the reduction in size of the Inter-Fraternity Council, which now numbers only half a dozen members, due to the disintergration of one of the local groups. Each organization is represented on the Council by two mem- bers, usually the president and some other officer, and together they strive to adjust the various differences between the Greeks, without too much discord. This year was no exception to the general rule, and these keepers of the peace found themselves with plenty of time on their hands and nothing much to do. There was some talk at the beginning of the term of another all-Greek dance to be held in April, but when the time came for the function the council apparently succumbed to spring fever, for nothing was ever done about it. The Inter-hat Council assembles to settle some aiiairs lor the Greeks. Officers President .... Jimmie Patterson Members KAPPA SIGMA Rollo Florsheim Charles Morrison KAPPA ALPHA Billy Mims Allums Lamar Bain LAMBDA CHI ALPHA Jimmie Patterson Iames Pittman Under the supervision of campus-boss Jimmy Patterson, the Councii con- tinued its program of deferred rushing, and encountered little difficulty in any of its activities, other than that involved in assembling the mem- bers to have their picture made. The tranquil, dove-like spirit, which apparently prevailed over the frats this year, can be attributed to the efforts of this group towards fostering a feeling of fellowship among Centenary ' s three outstanding Greek letter fraternities, which is the primary reason for the Council ' s existence, and one which it performed admirably. Js ' t : ' : ' ' : ' ' ' W 0 ' i : ' ' ' :rr ■-.■: ' A STAR RETURNS Take Hanna returned to his Alma Mater to take up football duties, not as a student of the game but as head coach and athletic director succeeding Coach Curtis Parker. Coach Hanna was a star of the Gentlemen ' s team in 1927, 1928 and 1929 and was known for his great competitive spirit and leadership. His hustling qualities made him known to the sport lovers of this section and all through the remaining years his name has been a by-word in pigskin circles. Nine years of coaching in high schools of Louisiana and Texas have stamped him as a fine instructor and he comes here with a splendid record of achievement and thousands of loyal supporters. He is the first Cente- nary graduate to serve as head coach for his Alma Mater. CENTENARY ' S ATHLETIC AND HIS STAFF With the 1939 football season Curtis Parker started his fourteenth season as coach to the Gents, hav- ing stepped up to head coach after serving pro- gressively as freshman coach and assistant var- sity mentor. Tom Cobb Assistant Coach With an excellent background as a basketball, football, and track star at Arkansas, Parker came to Centenary originally as its freshman coach. Later he advanced to assistant varsity coach and when Norton ' s resignation created a vacancy, Parker was given the job, which he has held for the past six years. His expert knowledge of foot- ball and his ability to teach it has been evident throughout the period of his association with the college. Head Coach Curtis Parker DIRECTOR Assisting Coach Parker in his hundred-fold duties as Athletic Director are Coaches Elmer Smith and Tom Cobb. Coach Smith came to Centenary from Hendrix College, where he was a star athlete and later coach. He is the Gents ' chief scout and backfield coach. After the resignation of Coach Parker, Coach Smith was moved to head Basketball Coach. This year Coach Smith and Head Coach Hanna will handle the baseball team. Coach Cobb, former professional football player with Kansas City, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chi- cago, joined the Gents ' staff in 1936. Mrs. Mattie Blakemore Secretary Elmer Smith Assistant Coach Directing intra-mural sports and serving as line coach for the Gents gives him his share of responsibility in handling Cen- tenary ' s athletic program. Assisting the varsity coaching staff is Freshman Coach Lewis Bradley, a graduate of the varsity. He won his letters in football in 1936, ' 37 and now passes on the benefit of his ex- perience to the younger Gentlemen. Hoot Gibson, versatile trainer of the Gents, added new duties to his already heavy burdens during the past year. Hoot is now serving in the capacity of freshman basketball coach as well as gym instructor. Mattie Blakemore is secre- tary and general right hand man of the department. Contracts, schedules, and athletes ' troubles are all daily routine to her. Marvin Gibson Trainer Lewis Bradley Freshman Coach The Athletic Committee confers . . . Coach Paikei reviews t h e sports situation -with Dean Haidin, Dr. Ford and Professor Shaw. Also serving on the committee is Professor Davidson, who is not pictured. THE ATHLETIC COMMITTEE Five prominent business men who have been added to the board of trustees of Centenary College also constitute the new- ly appointed athletic committee of the college. Mr. Charlton Lyons, an attorney and oil executive, is head of this new group. The other four members are Henry O ' Neal, former president of the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce and now in the insur- ance business; John McCormack, general manager of radio stations KWKH and KTBS; Allen Morris, president of a local automobile agency; and Bonneau Peters, chief scout in the Shreveport office of a large oil corporation and president of the Shreveport Baseball Club. The old athletic committee, made up of faculty members, will combine with this new committee to make a larger and bet- er one. The faculty committee consists of Curtis Parker, who will be replaced by the new head coach, Jake Hanna, Dean John A. Hardin, Dr. E. L. Ford, Professor Bryant Davidson, and Professor A. M. Shaw. With the athletic department in the hands of such men as these, we feel sure that Centenary will go far in the realm of sports.

Ewing Billy Katherine Pryor CHEERLEADERS Bob Banie, Weenie Eynum, and Cotton Barnes, backfield aces, limber up their arms. The 1939 Centenary Gentlemen While Centenary did not have a winning team this year, there were several standout players that really de- serve mention. First, there was Weenie Bynum who for three years has held his share of the limelight with his swivel-hipped running; Cotton Barnes, a back who moved to the front ranks this year with his bullet-like passes; Dub Partin, 240 pound senior tackle who always let the opponents know just how much he did weigh; Curtis Jones, senior and the other tackle, one of the fastest men to go down under punts that has ever been seen in these parts; Banjo Holloway, injured all saason, but one of those boys you just cannot keep out of the game; Claude Teel and Leon Apgar, a pair of defensive ends any team would be proud of; Joe Steeples, guard, a little man for a football lineman, but he made up for it; and Ed Whitehurst, smashing full- back. THE FOOTBALL To the spectator in the stands football may seem all play and no work but actually it is just the opposite. Let ' s spend an imaginary day or so with the football squad. The scouts have just returned from watching next week ' s opponents play a game. The reports and statistics that they have brought with them mean a headache to the players for these accounts list the entire oppon- ent ' s team, their ages, weights, heights, numbers, positions, etc. Each individual player must learn all of these. Then come the opponent ' s plays. It was enough trouble learning their own plays of offense and de- fense but now the boys have to learn each play of each team that they play, and each team is different, twelve games means thirteen sets of plays, counting their own. All of the work is not mental, however. Practicing the arts of blocking and tackling as well as the opposite arts of dodging the blocker and tackier is no easy task. A coupl ' a laps around the field just to keep in shape; a few scrimmages to try out offense and defense; a few hard hits at the tackling dummy; all of these and lots more go into an afternoon of practice. The Gents meet their new coach. The boys come to the dorm dragging, tired, maybe some of them injured at practice. Supper and then study some more plays, lessons if there is time, bed and lights out at ten. To top all of this off, when hot weather rolls around, the boys are up and scrimmaging on the field before breakfast. Brother — you try this out and if this football business still seems all play and no work, you had better see a doctor. SEASON BEGINS THE OPENING KICKOFF Alvin Birkelbach Captain Murphy, end or the Genls, and a Southwestern delense man reach ior a high one. James Barnes Back J. F. WlLKINS Back Football, which has been clamoring for atten- tion during the past years, dropped to its lowest ebb during the 1939 schedule. The Gents lost nine straight games, tied one and won two. Those downstate Demons from Louisiana State Normal, supported by a rooting-tooting train- load of enthusiastic fans, invaded Shreveport and Centenary most successfully for the open- ing game of Centenary ' s season. This game was played under lights and was a great dis- appointment for the players as well as the en- thusiastic fans of the Gents. Boasting the best team in years, Normal was pointing to this game as second to none in importance and let nothing stand in the way of their goal. The Gentlemen were at a loss from the first kickoff to the blowing of the final whistle. Lloyd Hearne Tackle Bob Barrie Back Weenie Bynum Back Nedd Looney End Next on the Gents ' long and hard schedule were the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys. The Gentlemen came through the game at the short end of a 7-6 score after outplaying the Cowboys in every way, shape and form. It was a tough break for the Gents and a thrill for the spectators when McKinnon, Hardin-Simmons quarter- back, received a kickoff on his own five yard line and ran 95 yards for a touchdown, a few seconds after Centenary had scored on the visitors and failed to kick the extra point. On September 30, Trainer Gibson packed the suits of the Gentlemen and they journeyed to College Station where they were defeated by the nation ' s leading football team, 14 to 0. With jarring John Kimbrough scor- ing both touchdowns against the bandaged Gents, the Cadets hit the jackpot for the first time in seven games between the teams and decisively buried the long jinx before 10,000 home fans. Kimbrough ' s destructive power made the difference in this game. It was not easy going, but the Texas Aggies combined sheer power with a running attack to put the Centenary team to rout. After losing their third straight game the Gents caught the train for a game with Rice Institute of Houston. Ernie Lain, Rice halfback, pitched the Owls to a 13-0 victory over the well drilled Gents in the game in Houston Saturday night. The Owls simply had too many guns for the badly outweighed, crippled Cente- nary team that nevertheless stopped effectively Rice ' s vaunted running attack. Twice during the game the sturdy Centenary defense turned aside serious Rice scoring threats. Throughout the game, the Gentlemen impressed the 12,000 crowd with their daring and with their utmost disregard for Rice ' s physical advant- ages. GENTS MEET Ed Whitehurst Back Leon Allen Guard Maurice Padgett Center Joe Staples Guard Ray Mayeaux Guard The next defeat came at the hands of the Ole Miss Rebels. Ole Miss, empha- sizing speed and the strongest running attack Centenary encountered all sea- son, had far too many weapons for the Maroon and White and won 34-0. The Centenary Gentlemen fought bravely to break their long losing streak and led for a half, but weakened in the closing period of the game under the manpower of the Golden Hurricane, which squeezed out a 15-7 victory. Hard luck seemed to be trailing the Gents when a field goal and an intercepted pass resulted in additional scores for Tulsa and destroyed the 7-6 lead which Cen- tenary had maintained throughout the first half. Scoring a touchdown after the first two minutes of play and scoring in the second and fourth quarters, the T.C.U. Horned Frogs beat the Gentlemen 21-0 at the game played at the State Fair before stands filled with boosters of both schools. All the glory of the game did not go to the Frogs, however, for Jones and Holloway played an excellent game for the Gents before injuries forced them from the field. TOUGH FOES The Gents ran into a new complication at Tuscon. The clock didn ' t move last enough, and consequently they were defeated in the last 15 seconds of the game when Arizona cracked down with scoring fury and punched the score- board with the only touchdown the game developed. The Gents came out of their season ' s losing streak but had only a draw to show for the turning point of their disastrous gridiron campaign. The battle was strictly a punting duel with Charles Calhoun of Texas Tech opposing Weenie Bynum and Max Bowerman. When the athletes were not chasing down punts or blocking to protect the kicker, they were slipping about on uncertain footing chasing a free ball. Fourteen fumbles were committed, and this is more re- markable due to the fact that only 28 plays were run from scrimmage. The miscues proved costly to each team, but the opposition was never able to capitalize on the errors. Curtis Jones Tackle James Campbell Guard John Clark Back Dub Partin Tackle F. M. May Back After a week of holding their own the Gents got back on the losing end and lost to the Baylor Bears 13-6. Max Bowerman Back Merrel Lewellen Center Ted Olzack End Jimmie Patterson End GENTS The long sought for football victory by the Centenary College Gents arrived when the Maroon and White turned back the Southwestern University Lynx of Mem- phis 13-7. It was the final game at Centenary stadium for thirteen seniors of the local squad. Those saying farewell to the students of Centenary were Joe Steeples, Leon Allen, Aubrey Bardon, Curtis Jones, Dub Partin, Nedd Looney, Jimmie Patterson, Ted Olzack, Ed White- hurst, Weenie Bynum, John Clark, Max Bowerman, and Alvin Birkelback. After battling scoreless the first half the Gents came through to win 19-0 over the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at Ruston. It was the second victory of the season for the Gents and their tenth in twelve engagements with the Bulldogs since 1921. BEAT Leon Apgar End Aubrey Bardon Tackle Norms McCrary Tackle Claude Teel End Lavelle Murphy End Baiijo Holloway Cenier OLD RIVALS Following a 15 yard penalty on Tech and an incom- plete pass by Centenary, Cotton Barnes and Bob Barrie led a march that carried the ball to the Bulldog five- yard marker. Barnes then picked up the final five yards, in three tries and a touchdown; adding the extra point on a kick from placement. Although the ball was wet and slippery, both teams went to the air. Tech tried fifteen passes and eleven were incomplete. Centenary tried ten and completed four. With Whitehurst helping Barnes and Barrie on the running plays, the Gents gained 130 yards on 35 running plays to Tech ' s 95 on 36 plays. Whitehurst had the best average with 6.1 yards per trial. Each team made seven first downs. John Manson Back Delwin Heft Back The 1939 Freshman football squad. THE JUNIOR GENTS One of the hardest working and most aggressive group of freshmen Centenary has ever seen showed up last fail to represent Iheir class in the football world. While their offense never was worked to perfection, their defense was really something to stand up and cheer about. The Junior Gents started this season off with a scoreless tie against Northeast Center. Holding the Indians from Monroe on their own three-yard stripe in the closing minutes of play, the Frosh gave us one of the most thrilling finishes to a football game we have had the pleasure of seeing. In their second game, the Freshmen trounced the Louisiana Tech Bullpups 28 to 6 with an effec- tive aerial attack. The next major conflict was with Lamar Junior College at Beaumont, Texas, where the Junior Gents came out on the short end, 7 to 0, despite the outstanding kicking on the part of Mayo Faith. In their final game with Louisiana Normal Frosh, they lost 12 to 6 after three scoreless periods. Outstanding among the freshmen this year were Mayo Faith with his kicking ability, Charles Birtman with his passing and line crashing, and Hose Weatherford, receiving Birtman ' s passes at right end. In reality, all of the boys deserve mention and we are looking forward to some good varsity ma- terial next year. BASKETBALL At the half of every basketball game while spectators munch peanuts, gossip, or take a stretch, the coach and the boys on the squad gather in the locker rooms and put their heads together for a council-of-war. They have seen by now how the enemy works and they put all of their strategy together to counter-attack the opponent ' s plans. Finally the time comes for the last half. Eager to try out their new ideas, they present such a picture of enthusiasm and determination that you know that as long as we have students such as these enrolled in our college, Centenary will never die. Starting off with a very heavy schedule and anly a week of training behind them, the Maroon and White basketeers hopped into their first game of the season and defeated Ouachita College of Arkansas, 38 to 24. The Gents had the services of five returning let- termen, including three seniors and two juniors, along with eight sophomores. In the final standings of the year, the Maroon and Whites won nine games and lost eight in the S.I. A. A. Conference and won six in non-conference bat- tles. GENTLE Jowers and Boweiman retrieve the ball horn a Loyola man. Outstanding players for the Gentlemen during the past season were Captain Max Bowerman, a little fellow with plenty of scrap and determination to make up for his height; A. R. Jowers, sophomore high scoring ace; Delwin Heft, fast break- ing guard; Flash Harmon, sparkplug of the team; and Alex Penny, tall dependable forward. These boys usually made up the starting five, while the reserve team was made up entirely of sophomores. Of these, Melbourne Crawford should be given credit for being a sparkplug whenever needed; Ed Murphy also did his share of being a good utility man; Tyler Pirtle, Claude Teel, Lavelle Murphy, and John Carter were the other reserves who were ready to help whenever the need for replacements was felt. The only incident to mar the season was the loss of Captain John Manson who underwent an opera- tion on his knee. The Gents lost the services of Pete Williams, Sam Ails, and Lewis Bradley from last year ' s squad through graduation. Returning lettermen included Max Bowerman (Captain), Ted Olzack, Weenie Bynum, Bob Barrie, and Lurlin Harmon. Sophomore candidates were Claude Teel, A. R. Jowers, Alex Penny, Melbourne Craw- ford, Ed Murphy, Delwin Heft, Tyler Pirtle and Lavelle Murphy. In the next five games the Gentlemen went down in defeat but these setbacks were not cause for excess mourning for their opponents were Texas Christian University, Texas Tech, and Rice Institute, readily recognized as tough on anybody ' s schedule. Christmas holidays rolled around and, while everyone else went home for a vacation, the basketball team packed its grips and headed for Yankee-land and its annual barnstorming tour.

A. A. game. In a nip and tuck battle, in which the lead changed ten times, the Gents opened their conter- ence basketball schedule with a 44-38 victory over the Southwestern Bulldogs. The Cente- nary cagers sank twelve foul shots out of seventeen attempts and hit the basket from all an- gles of the court, chalking up the conference win. After this game, Coach Curtis Parker resigned and Coach Elmer Smith took over the duties of head basketball coach. Under the direction of the new coach, the Gents ' revamped team won two games from Louis- iana College at Pineville. They met their first setback under the new regime at Southwestern Institute, where the Bulldogs reversed the Shreveport score, 46 to 21. Following this defeat by the Bulldogs, the Gentlemen dropped one game to the Louisiana Normal Demons and their 6 ' 9 center. After that game they came back and won four straight games, two from Louisiana Tech and two from Loyola University of the South. Following these victories the boys of the top hat and cane played nine return games with some of the teams mentioned above, winning four of these and losing five. FINISH WITH A VICT THE 1940 SQUAD E. Murphy, Guard Teel, Guard Totally speaking, the Gents on the court played thirty-four basketball games this year, winning fifteen and losing nineteen. While this is not a champion ' s total, it is not one to be ashamed of, because thirty-four games in seven states, covering approximate- ly three thousand miles on the road, is no easy schedule for any team. Although they were rated from the opening as cellar leaders in the conference , after having reigned as its outstanding team over a period of years, they showed such improvement with every tussle that at the finish they were as strong as any team in the Louisiana S.I. A. A. race. Penny Forward L. Murphy Forward Crawford Guard OR Y FRESHMAN BASKETBALL With the wonderful record of last year ' s freshman basketball team hanging over their heads, the Junior Gents of the Court struggled gallantly but vainly to make a good showing this year. The Frosh were coached by Elmer Smith until mid-semester when he took over the varsity driver ' s seat. During the remainder of the season they were under the guiding hands of Hoot Gibson, trainer of the Gentlemen. Playing preliminaries to the varsity games, the freshmen lost five collegiate games, four with the Louisiana Tech Bullpups and one with the Louisiana Normal yearlings. Besides these inter-collegiate games, they met several in- dependent teams on the court and had a little better luck with them. The starting lineup usually consisted of Mike Majchers, G. W. McNutt, Bob Raley, Delmar Hamby, and Ed Hoynoski. The reserves were made up of Ralph Kern, Russell Coleman, Alfred Day, Martin Pfau, Thomas Brown, and Chester Angel, who were ready and willing whenever needed. Bade row — Phalke, Kern, McNutt, Day, Hoynoski. Front row — Coach Gibson, Phau, Hamby, Majcheis. Haitei, Payne, Fraser, and Steph- ens take time out to pose for a picture. The 1940 Tennis team suffered heavily from misfortune. Frank Keith was unable to play due to illness and a job which kept him from practicing. Randolph Mayer suffered from an injury received in the cyclone which struck the campus. C. E . Ewing provided experience for the team and a new star was added in the person of Joe Stephens, brilliant freshman. Other new- comers with definite promise are Earl Harter, Billy Payne, and Louis Fraser. The squad won one match from the Wayne University team, one of the foremost tennis teams in the nation. This squad was un- defeated last year, winning from 28 teams, including some of the nation ' s best younger players. The prospects for 1941 are very bright, with such promising new material as this year ' s team has produced. Manager for this year was hard working Robert Webster, who scheduled matches and attended to correspondence and finances for the team. ACROSS THE NET C.

ON THE DIAMOND Under the direction of Head Coach Jake Hanna, and Assistant Coach Elmer Smith, the Centenary baseball team got down to serious prac- tice and as the book goes to press they won their first game from Louisiana Tech, 6 to 4. This is the first year in the history of the Maroon and White teams that baseball has been taken up as a major sport and considering that fact as well as that the squad is necessarily inexperienced, the season bids fair to be a good one, even though the team may not win a majority of its games. The squad wets made up of Catchers Teel and Burkes; Pitchers Jowers, Barnes, and Crawford; Infielders Patterson, Birkelback, Bowerman, Har- mon, and White; and Outfield- ers Looney, Pearce, Crawford, and Bynum.

HOMECOMING DAY Though Homecoming this year suffered a double defeat at the hands of Baylor and the weather, nothing could dampen the ardor of returning alumni and students on a holiday. Excitement over the event fore- gathered some weeks in advance when the various Greeks started plotting as to which lovely lady they would sponsor as Queen. This year Zeta President Martha Shepherd won the coveted honor after a closely fought battle which necessitated a revote due to lack of a quorum of student votes. This only added to the excitement however, and increased the anticipation with which the campus awaited the event. Friday morning officially opened Homecoming week-end, with a special chapel program, and services for the late Doctor Sexton. Returning alumni were greeted at an open house held that night in the gymnasium where genial Cheesy Voran, student Counselor, served as master of ceremonies. A program combining the talents of Kollege Kapers and the Music School was presented, followed by the introduction of the mem- bers of the various classes and of the new alumni officers. Continuing to serve as president of the alumni The big day Queen Martha Shepherd and her aitendenis be ore and after the coronation. organization is able Algie Brown. After this event the crowd adjourned for the burning of the traditional bonfire, a necessary prelude to the activities of the Big Day. The parade Saturday morning found a large number of unusually attractive floats entered in the competi- tion for the two loving cups, awarded this year to the Kappa Alpha fraternity and Alpha Xi Delta Sorority. Immediately following a luncheon at Colonial Hall students and ex-students alike defied the threatening clouds and hastened to the stadium to watch an exciting game, if not a victorious one. Another surprise awaited the fans, for at the game the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority presented the football team with a maroon and white water wagon — a much needed piece of equipment. Following the coronation of Queen Martha Shepherd, and the introduction of ex-letter men and Maroon Jackets, open houses were held at the various fraternity houses, at which time the Zetas were presented with a ten dollar award for their interest and en- thusiasm in the Homecoming program. Concluding this year ' s week-end was the huge Pan-Hellenic dance, where students and alumni gathered for one last celebration before they returned to their respective callings, not to re-unite until another Homecoming. At the half former grid stars were intro- duced, among them Jake Hanna, who was to become coach of the Gents later in the season ... A drizzling rain could not dampen the spirits of returning lettermen and Maroon Jackets, who were presented at the half as Centen- ary ' s honor guests . . . The K. A. float carried out the theme of We ' re Laying for Baylor with setting hens labeled for Centenary stars, and, incidentally, carried off the prize for the best fratern- ity float ... A truck load of Zetas clad in blue and gray uniforms added color to the parade . . . After the coronation, Queen Martha Shepherd returned to her throne in the stands and the formal Homecoming ceremonies Miss Beatrice Carlton, Queen ot the May Fete (right), and her Maid of Honor, Miss Grace Julian. CENTENAR One of Centenary ' s most picturesque tradi- tions is the annual crowning of the May Queen, which takes place before a large crowd of interested onlookers. The corona- tion is held amid great ceremony and an elaborate pageant is presented for the en- tertainment of the Queen and her court. This May, Beatrice Carlton received this distinc- tive honor in a student body election, and Grace Julian served as Maid of Honor to a court composed of junior and senior girls. The Festival presented by the W.A.A. had as a theme, Flags over Louisiana, and the history of the state was depicted in colorful dances and tableaus, narrated by Helen Shaw.

MAY FETE yONCOPIN SPONSOR Miss Helen Webb, Zeta Tau Alpha, is Sponsor of the Yoncopin lor the sec- ond successive year. Last year she received a trip to the World ' s Fair as a prize and is shown below with a guide. Helen Webb and the Zetas retained possession of the coveted Sponsor Cup for the second successive year, outdistancing all competitors in the race held annually by the Yoncopin to determine its Spon- sor. In this contest the winner is decided by the amount of money turned in by each girl and whoever presents the most cash for yearbook ads, signatures, annuals, and padded covers sold receives the award. Thus it is an honor not easily won and possession of it indicates hard work and lots of it. For the first time in the history of the contest, the trophy and award was received by the girl who had won it the previous year; and she not only keeps the cup on the Zeta mantel for another year, but is again entitled to a trip to the New York World ' s Fair — which was offered as first prize. Second to Helen Webb at the final count was Nancy Mills of Chi Omega, while Shirley Safford of Alpha Xi Delta was third. If the Zeta candidate should receive the award next year, the lodge will receive permanent pos- session of the cup, since three successive years in first place would entitle the sorority to this priv- ilege. A safe prediction for the future would be that next year ' s contest will be an exciting one, since the other groups will endeavor to prevent this. And there are critics who wonder what the Zetas will do when money-making Helen Webb graduates. Contestants Helen Webb, Nancy Mills and Shirley Saflord check up on returns . . .

Playful students peppered each other with snow halls, preferring to suiter the penal- ty of frozen fingers than miss any of the fun. Fieak weather was only one of the things that made life at Centenary exciting during the past year. First came the snow, and happy stu- dents cut classes right and left to enjoy it. Hard and glistening, the snow blanketed the campus in quiet, except on the parking lot and the walks leading to the Sub, where playful footballers made life miserable for those con- scientious students who were trying to make classes on time. Fur coats, mittens, boots, and ear muffs made their appearance but proved pitifully inadequate against snow ball bar- rages, and frozen toes and fingers were the order of the day. For a week, the campus remained a shining fairyland, decorated with countless snow men and glittering icicles then the sun appeared and grumbling collegians spent the next week wading through mud and slush and wishing they ' d never heard of the Big Snow. Falling snow flakes dotted the air and drove the inmates ol Rotary Dorm indoors . . . The Chapel looked like a pretty Christmas card, when glimpsed through the pines . . . The Sub, belore the many snow lights made it unsale lor wandering students. SNOW STORM Quite in contrast to the smooth serenity of the snow was the havoc wrought by cyclonic winds which swept through the campus and left destruction in their wake. Damage to build- ings was slight, but one fraternity house was utterly demolished, another pushed off its foundation, and roofs were ripped off, windows broken, and trees blown down all over the forty acres. Two Centenary students were seriously injured, but were able to return to classes after a week or so in the hospital, and the college was fortunate in escaping so lightly. On the evening of March twelfth a lowering sky and a severe hail storm were the only warnings of the terrific winds that were to fol- low, destroying in a few minutes much that has yet to be repaired. Dormitory residents volunteered for rescue work and campus crews pitched in to help restore some order out of chaos, and the dawn found things going on much as usual, in spite of the Big Wind. An uprooted giant graphically illustrates the force oi the wind . . . The Music Hall was al- most washed away by heavy rains . . . The Kappa Sig ' s view the remains. The storm converted many a tall tree into splinters. The largest student body assem- bly in Centenary ' s history tilled the chapel to over-flowing on registration day. EVENTS O F The college year of ' 39- ' 40 was crowded with events of lasting importance for students at Centenary; some of which are noteworthy of special mention here. Those things which are Big News today may have passed into the limbo of forgotten things before another year has rolled ' round, or they may con- tinue to have a lasting influence and significance. Time will tell. At any rate, these are the events which made Centenary history of this year. Football, or the lack of it, received its share of attention this year as always . . . The Sub, hang-out for freshman and senior alike, was the best thing that has hap- pened to the college in many a decade, and promises to continue in popularity for many more. The Headline Forum conducted by Pioiessor Davidson (center) over a local radio station aroused much interest in current events. THE EAR An annual affair, the Pre-Med Reunion attracted many former students back to the college for a day of scientific discussion and debate. Prominent speakers addressed the group at the banquet given in the Student Union that night and the whole meeting was a pronounced success . . . One of the year ' s most pleasant surprises was the presentation of a streamlined, maroon and white water wagon to the team by the members of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, who conducted a secret campaign for funds and gave it to the Gents for a Homecoming present . . . The Centenary Symphony Orchestra was a source of interest and enjoyment for music lovers throughout the spring concert season . . . On the re- signation of Coach Curtis Parker, former Centenary star Jake Hanna took over the reins of the athletic department, which was another outstanding event in a crowded year. STUDENTS ENJOY THE OTHER While some students work or study, others take time out for the lighter things of life. Miss Ware and some of her pupils go on an Easter Egg hunt . . . Still looking for the Easter Bunny . . . The Sub is a favorite place for rest and relaxation ... A dormitory room is a good place to get in some quiet reading, if you lock the . door . . .

Equally difficult tests must be passed in ground work before actual flying is done, and reg- ulations are strict and numerous. As part of the govern- ment ' s plan to train students as aviators, the course has re- ceived much interest and enthusiasm from student body and faculty alike, and, under the supervision of Instructor Claude Hamel, promises to produce some fair pilots. Jerry Mize, first of the student pilots to solo, receives a congratulatory hand shake from his instructor . . . Dorothy Courtney, co-ed aviatrix, learns something about her plane before going up with the Instructor. n ' m K y «  I FOUNDER ' S DAY CELEBRATION Determined to instill a little more school spirit into the student body, the officers of the Senate met with faculty heads and decided to observe Founder ' s Day in a really effective way. Accordingly, an all day picnic was declared for May the second, the one hundred and fourteenth anniversary of Centenary ' s inception, and the college adjourned for a day of fun, frivolity and historical observance. Students and faculty met on the campus, then trekked to nearby Fort Hum- bug where Softball games, political speeches, and com- memorative exercises were held.

Ho! the ugly head of the nightingale of the barnyard now rears itself and causes no end of evil thoughts to burst forth in great magnitude. There is much currying of the brain as those petty events that have riled the Staff during the year are remembered, and the whip-popper is renewed to cause deep wounds. A spade is placed firmly in hand and work is be- gun to heap caloused remarks upon the loved ones of the Campus. These lily white hands now become soiled and gone is the unblemished record that has been so fondly kept. So glad that the coming year will not be graced with our presence because re- venge will be planned. Bring forth the roll and let us go down the represent- ations of our gentle classmates picking out those that need be reminded that their stay here has but been noticed by the rank and file — some pitied, some envied, some despised, but still have left their mark in the Hall of Disregard. Here and there a name that caused irk to the rest mattering not that they think that only a sweet fragrance lies in their wake as the walks are graced with their footprints. Big Shots, small shots, and the sundry elements are paraded before us in pantomine. Here and there a deed once done is remembered and a big spade full goes sailing to land ca-plump. First off there is the President of the student body, Jimmy Patterson, who in 1937 entered Centenary being snatched right out from the athletic big-wigs of Louisiana Tech in whose town the yokel boy made good on the grid- iron, period. Then there is Martha Shepherd who always smiles and looks so sweet. Chosen for a couple of honorary jobs that carried no significance, she leaves school with tales to tell her grand-chil- dren that only grandchildren would listen to. Martha O ' Neal gadded about for some 36 months with never a brilliant thought under her blond hair. Just the simple and sweet type that boys try to find, but when found are just found. Then there is Olga Thibodeaux, the cutest little thing that one ever did see, who found out that being a litle fish in a big pool wasn ' t near so nice as being a big fish in a little pool, thus returning to Centenary after attend- ing a couple of classes at L.S.U. Next in line is that well traveled young man, Lamar (Toddle House) Bain who changed his major more times than he changed his shirt. His impeachable character made him a fit leader for a group that backed the Zeta Tau Alpha ' s regardless of the consequences. A bray over from Homer way tells us that Paulyn Gill is a worthy deserver of the honor of appearing herein. Paulyn rides, it seems as did Dorothy Courtney, but Dorothy got married. HOWEVER LUCY BETTIS IMAGINED A MARRIAGE BETWEEN ROBERT WEBSTER AND THE GILL GAL. Not to be forgotten is C. E. Ewing, (how could we), who for years tried to be a Casanova of the first water. His first attempts are forgotten, but the last one he went with was Olivia Bott, which put him in line for a broken neck. By the way, we will never be able to forget the Morrison boys, Charles and Gwin, habit of letting their pins go here and yon with not much thought. From the depths of Mansfield (40 miles south), also the home of George Fair, came Little Abner Nabors, the pride and joy of the home folks also the bouncer for the K.A ' s. Last but not least the change that has come over Henry William- son since coming under the tutorship of Doc More- head, thus making a zephyr out of a gust of wind. A Donkeytopsy by Dr. Whiffinpuff Well, we brought the Donkey over to the Commerce Building after much coaxing and pushing, getting him as far as the steps where he refused to travel further until so-and-so went down to the Student Union Building and played a game of ping-pong. Finally he consented to go up the stairs and see what he was made of. The Editor sent Katey Ewerz over to the Zoo lab to borrow a disecting set and then Mr. White had to be found to borrow a file to cut the microbes off the scalpel, and then the poor little donkey submitted to a whiff of the business manager ' s sock and passed gently into dream-land. First his brain was taken out to see who governed his actions so well. There we found the Student Senate in a big confab over who was to shoot the cubes first and who faded who and why, finally coming out was James Patterson who rolled craps first off and wouldn ' t pay Charles Knight the three cents that had been bet. Leaving this portion of his anatomy, the Staff went to the legs to find out who upheld both ends and the middle and there were four staunch supporters so often found in each other ' s company — Bob Ray and Betty Mae Coburn up front in a golden beige Ford with Thais Ray ' s registration rapped around the steering gear and Hugh McCall and Bernice Ed- wards trying to get on the other side in the back without going around one another. We figured that this would go on forever, so the heart was looked for next. This proud animal, being what it is, could only have the greatest pumping organ of any one around so we felt sure that only the brave and true would be the keeper of the oiler. That happened to be Bill Morris and Kathleen McDonald who have gushed over one and the other for so long and so sweetly that we were not surprised one little bit, for we felt sure that they would keep it up until life did them part or they found out about one another. Dropping over to the stomach we found such a great (you thought we were going to say personage or better) mass of humanity that we had trouble at first in seeing who it was but finally the Irish Sweepstakes winner came over the radio and he rose up to see who it was and so we found out that the supplier of the part the ilium comes be- fore was Henry Williamson. What Ho! we cried, will stuff never cease such as this, and went grudgingly on our way to the next part, guided by the chart that we had borrowed, also from the Science Department, that showed what parts should be where, and came up on the liver — gall, bitter gall, cast an aroma on the typewriter and smelled strangely of Lloyd DeMoss and corroded the keys. Letting our staff science major run a test on the fluid going down the main bile duct she found it to be a lot of little Kappa Sigmas following the orders of the great leader who had so much practice in three years. Finally, after several hours of ill-wished work we came to the tail and there to one ' s already crazed brain came the surprise of the composition — sitting in the shade of the canvas covering were Prexy of the Knights, Lamar Bain and Marie Hemen- way leisurely skipping classes and wanting school to hurry and get out. We had reached the end and sader but sillier, quickly the parts were thrown to- gether for the effect of the sock had worn out and the Jass Honkey was beginning to stir. My gosh, he said as he came out of it, did you have to hit me with that Colliers? Wouldn ' t a Saturday Eve- ning Post have done the same thing? With this we could keep him no longer and he bounded away into the night to come again on the morrow and wart us more. It Couldn ' t Happen Here! Bring forth the royal dipper and spread lightly the sod. The year has passed and has revealed time- worn antics of our beloved colleagues. The rush- ing of the freshmen, the stuffed boxes at election time, the skipping of classes, the breaking up of fallsicious loves, all have been followed to a bray like all others. However, since we think that we have had more than an average year as we al- ways do each and every year, mayhap we have had one or two things that the other groups of un- civilized barbarians that have trod the light fantasty have been unable to bring out in their tales of col- lege days while crying in their mugs with some bored companion who wants to tell of his experi- ences in some jerk-water joint where he idled away his families ' hand made sod money. Such as the breaking up of these three familiar couples (in the other years it was either more or less.) There was Weenie Bynum, and never a finer lad shuffled his sock-happy way across the beaten twigs that we call a campus, who was jilted practically at the altar by the little girl who fought so hard for him while he was a name on many a well-known news- paper. This little bit of nonsense was Ethel Shrop- shire who also ran in every cheer-leader election that went on while in this hyar collich. Then there was the less serious case of our well-known and well-liked Curtis Jones who for three years went the route for us while in such a condition to have an ordinary man under six feet of sod. He was wooed and won by Billie Katherine Pryor who at the begin- ning of the spring term and the coming of new foot- ball players dropped him off like the wrapping on a box from home. Then finally the case of the two best-known people on the whole dad burn place and you should know who they are. For three years the young lady stood in front of hundreds to urge their voices a little louder in the backing of your team and her team. He was the object of many of these exhibitions of vocal power and rightly so but it availed him naught in the end. At times the at- mosphere was filled with the scent of lilacs and at times bitterweeds played the major part in the odor- izing of the air, but now only a bitter memory on the part of both of them. Thus, the obituary of three is written and the mark- ing of the downfall of three others are recorded. The rightful places you may chose for the actors your- self but it does prove a thing or two that all is not well. Thank Gosh, we are able to find others out before it is too late. That we must be thankful for. Snapping With Our Camera This well baggaged young lady is Mimi Molloy who knows just how to catch the same train as the Matron at Christmas Holidays. Do your heels run down? Are they unnoticed? Heels are my hobby (if you get what I mean). Let me make you a first class heel so says Billy Hobby upon interviewing himself. This is the proper way to re- ceive the boy friend ' s jewelry in case you get it. Represented here is June Cook who simply takes it as a matter of course. This is a cute little blonde who must dress as slow as the Lunch Room service to be late to so many classes. If you ' re gonna drink cokes, drink in style. Cokes mixed with grape punch packs an awful wallop so Francais — holds to the seat while Hugh — concocts. A change of face does the soul good — so says Helen Shaw. Thus explaining her about face this year. Never start out tell- ing four or five that you love them — it rebounds! This could be a new hat but it ' s really the newest thing in blushing. Noticed to be pre- dominant at the Pelican in case someone you know sees you. Apples in bloom are beautiful. Ripe cherries, however, appeal to Robert Ray. And glasses are so good about containing them in the bottom. WORLD ' S WORST WANT ADS— c Hesulh WANTED — Two unused bass voices. Must be capable of singing La Traviata.

Says Reddy Kilowatt Good light will make your work easier, because it prevents eyestrain. You need adequate light when you are doing long hours of hard study. My wages are so low, you can use all the light you need at a very small cost. I do lots of other jobs around Centenary, too. I run the fans, play the radios and do many other tasks. The more work you let me do, the less I get paid per hour. My wages are low be- cause electricity is cheap, and the more you use the cheaper it gets. SOUTHWESTERN Gas Electric Co.

Manufacturers of YELLOW PINE— HARDWOODS Wolmanized and Creosoted Lumber Student Senate Results A new fraternity came on the campus at the first of the year and much rejoicing by the Chi Omegas was heard. For finally they had an organization that would partially stand by them in moments of elections, dances, etc., and someone to call on when visiting sisters needed dates. Very quickly Randy Myers started combining with them along with foot- ball players who are as straight on elections as someone like Curtis Jones wanted them to be. But who should win the presidency of the Freshman Class but one of the football players, leaving the Kappa Sigs out in the cold. The Alpha Xi ' s brought forth the delight of the Campus in Gloria Perkinson, and who else could win. Of course, there was an- other office or two but they did not count. Not to be offset by these three powerful forces the K.A ' s., Zeta ' s, and the Alpha Xi ' s jointly agreed to be nice and kind and vote for one and the other in the dumber classes that takes a year or two to say one belongs to. This was all right until three K.A ' s. were late to class election and the Zeta pride and joy lost a position by one vote thus causing no end of dis- traction and distrustion from thence on.
