NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO YEARBOOK OF CENTENARY COLLEGE SHREVEPORT ' , LOUISIANA 7 William K. Graham, Editor Donn Thompson, Business Manager COPYRIGHT 1942 un tke Ljear 1815 Andrew Jackson, hero of the Battle of New Orlean ' s, camped on Thompson ' s Creek, near Buncombe, Louisiana, as he headed North with his gallant Kentuckians and Tennesseans. Hon- ored by the presence of this great soldier, Buncombe changed its name to Jackson. Eleven years later the College of Louisiana — Centenary — was founded there virtually on Andrew Jackson ' s campsite. Thus, it was in the post-war glow of a new dawn for a young nation — a dawn created by the sacrifices of free men determined to hold forever the freedom won by the blood of their forefathers — that Centenary was born. Since that day four great wars have come and gone — the Mexican War, the War Between the States, the Spanish-American War and World War I. Now a fifth conflict, greater than all pre- ceeding it, has come. Together College and Coun- try face it with that same courage, confidence, and faith in God with which they have traveled side by side through the decades along the paths of travail to the fields of victory. In peace or in war, Centenary stands forth. a (conference of dreaders of Southern Jnemooism, 1O50 This photograph was presented to the college in memoiy ol Colonel Walter Guston Kearney, a devoted Methodist of Vernon, Madison County, Miss., who was grad- uated irom Centenary College in 1847, when it was located at Jackson, Louisiana. Acy Jn de ffl nabtm • • • • • • • • • • • • Centenary ' s heroes of the past gaze down from on high upon the college they once left to wield a flashing sabre in 1846, to shoulder the first modern rifles in 1860, to man the first rapid-fire guns in 1898 and follow the wobbly course of the first tanks in 1917. From their thrones of Eternity these past heroes watch with silent pride as Centenary ' s men and women march again to battle for their country — this time to war on wings where men ' s souls and a nation ' s heart are being tried as never before. The accelerated speed of death and destruction is matched with a new flow of patriotism and courage from a college whose people have never failed in crisis and once again Centenary sends its forces to the front, to posts behind the lines, to the plants of production. If voices could come from those Centenary heroes of other wars, the words would be : Well done, well done — as always. In humble tribute to those who march today, in reverent memory of those who marched before, and in supreme confidence that those of the present will keep faith with the past by preserv- ing the future, this 1942 Yoncopin is dedicated. 9 4 2 it • • With the exception of the two years, 1863 and 1864, students have entered this institution in times of war and peace for one hundred and seventeen years. Above we find a participant of the Candle- lighting ceremony, symbol of the Christian ideals upon which the college was founded. At the right is the Arts Building, where the college library and offices of the administrative staff are located. Here is where registration takes place, as is indicated by the picture at the lower right corner. The beginning of school finds many ac- tivities starting in earnest. At the right is South Hall with the Chi Omega Sor- ority House in the foreground. South Hall is the place from which many hon- orary organizations emenate. Below we find two student photogra- phers busying themselves with prepar- ations for snapping views to be used in the yearbook. Of course, in the fall, the football sea- son and its accompanying picturesque- ness take precedent over all other ac- tivities. What with pretty girl cheer- leaders, Maroon Jackets, football and band sweethearts, popping up to the left and to the right of one, who can deny that this is the most glorious part of the school year? ' u e The recently built Student Union Building, better known as the SUB, is the focal point of student life on the campus. Here the social organi- zations hold their formal dances. On Homecoming Day, the alumni are re- ceived in this building by the Maroon Jackets, hostesses of the school. At the piano you can usually find stu- dents enjoying boogie woogie as interpreted by one of the local artists. Besides the social functions, the SUB is also the site for meetings of hon- orary organizations. What would college be without the wo- men? At Centenary the non-resident fe- males are housed in beautiful Colonial Hall. During the fall maneuvers of the United States Army, the occupants of this dormi- tory put on their best charm and grace to entertain the soldiers stationed on the campus. Many of the girls have shown that the men are not the only ones who can choose careers and make a success of it. Centen- ary offers many opportunities for such possibilities, the outstanding of which is the fashion design school. po oi .r u  sr„ ,.„ e Qeti art V0tV o vm aS lCS V- bU -led W KoM  - ' : a s- l0s f : . 5oe©° ,.w Y° ' to a b ll 1)00 after boY s d °;:;, oar e Through its 117 years of service, Centenary has produced many distinguished alumni. Many lawyers, scientists, educators, ministers, doctors, and statesmen of the South have graduated from Centenary. Today, when students reach their final year in the college, they are reminded of such at their final exercises, the senior banquet and graduation. Rotary Hall, dormitory or men. Many of the organizations on the campus bring back their old members for a get together. Above, the Commerce Club en- tertains local Certified Public Accountants at a banquet, including in the group sev- eral alumni of the college. At the Home- coming Day exercises, the award for the Alumnus of the Year is presented. This year, John McCormack, manager of radio stations KWKH and KTBS, received the award amid cheers of his former class- mates. 4 1 ■ • k ' L Many important events which dot the school calender make college life new and different each year. Danc- ers enjoy themselves at the big for- mal dances of the year. At the be- ginning of the year, the freshmen take the spotlight when -they parade in their pajamas at the opening foot- ball game. At the end of the year, comes the annual Founder ' s Day pic- nic, where everyone, students and profs alike, take the day off and thoroughly enjoy themselves. Home- coming Day and the crowning of the queen by Dr. Cline is one of the high- lights of the year. For everyday occasions grabbing a bite from the SUB cafe leads the list. Jackson Hall (above) home of the science depart- ments, has served a dual purpose since war came to the U. S. A. During the day, students are busy in the laboratories and class rooms but, in the evening, the Defense Training and Civilian De- fense groups take over and work far into the night preparing for war on the home front. Came December seventh and the beginning of the fifth war in which Alma Mater ' s sons have fought. On December eighth four of Centenary ' s varsity football players enlisted in the Coast Guard. From then on, the male populace of Jackson Hall (above) home of the science depart- ments, has served a dual purpose since war came to the U. S. A. During the day, students are busy in the laboratories and class rooms but, in the evening, the Defense Training and Civilian De- fense groups take over and work far into the night preparing for war on the home front. Came December seventh and the beginning of the fifth war in which Alma Mater ' s sons have fought. On December eighth four of Centenary ' s varsity football players enlisted in the Coast Guard. From then on, the male populace of Centenary College was the first liberal arts institution in the United States to recognize military training as a required subject and when the school in 1846 found itself for the first time a part of a nation at war it was ready. With sabres at their side, a fully equipped, fully trained, fully officered company was presented to the federal government at the start of the Mexican War. It ' s record in action is one of Centenary ' s traditions. Centenary ' s fortunes were at a low ebb then, but patriotism ran high and in order to fill seven places in the ranks of this company with Cen- tenary men, a released janitor was rehired and his children reinstated in school. This gave two more than necessary — but, they too went along, acting as file closers. The tradition and precedent set at Centenary in filling that company for the Mexican cam- paign has ever been preserved. Merely giving all that was asked has never been enough for those of Centenary. Quotas have been only something to be surpassed when country called. t fl H i eot D H Gib THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Officers Chairman Vice-Chairman Paul M. Brown, Jr. . B. W. Marston J. B.

Each year, they come closer to their goal, complete student government. This year ' s group proved no exception to the rule. Their prime project, and the one of which they are most proud, is the installation of an honor system among the students of the college. Of course, it is only the first step and it will probably take some time to develop completely such a system, but it is the Student Senate of this year that has actually started the ball rolling. Another fine piece of work done by this group was the sponsoring of a contest for the best design of a college flag. This went off very successfully and, after many entries had been checked, Ann Burnette was awarded the plaque for the winning design. On May 2nd, the annual Founder ' s Day Picnic, which is sponsored each year by the Student Senate, was acclaimed by students and profs alike as being one of the best yet. Thus ended another successful year of the student governing organization of Centenary College. THE STUDENT SENATE Last spring, after everyone had loudly proclaimed what their intentions were if elected, the student body decided that Gilbert Hetherwick was the man for them as far as student body presidents go. Hetherwick had previously proven his ability when during his freshman and sophomore years his class had selected him as their leader. This year he has proven to the students that their selec- tion for campus boss was indeed a good one. If a lot of hard work proves that a man is good, then Bert is fine. Besides his duties as student body prexy and presiding over Student Senate meet- ings, he was chosen to lead his fraternity for this year and also held down the hard task of being Editor of the Conglomerate, school paper. The rest of the student body officers included, as co-ed vice-presidents, Peg Hawkins and Claude Teel. Hawkins, prexy of her sorority, proved herself to be a leader on the campus this year. Teel, better known as Iron Head, showed the students that his hustle was not confined ex- clusively to the gridiron. Serving as secretary was Ann Thibodeaux, who did a very fine job keeping the rec- ords for the student body. The treas- ury of the student body was held intact by Camp Flournoy, who did very well as keeper of the shekels. Hawkins, Teel Thibodeaux, Flournoy Student Body Officers Flournoy, Kinnebiew, Hawkins, Graham SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS When the election smoke cleared away last fall, the members of the class of ' 42 had chosen Bill Graham as their final class president and Peg Hawkins as their vice-president. For the jobs of secretary and treasurer they chose two popular males of the graduating class, Buddy Kinnebrew and Camp Flournoy. Sophomore Class Officers The Sophomores, now members of the upper class, chose to lead them the same person who led them as Freshmen, Tom Griffith. Susie Mul- key was elected vice-president, while Glennye Harmon Pirtle and Bill Rea- gan were chosen as secretary and treasurer. Griffith, Mulkey, Reagan, Pirtle. Milliard, Thibodeaux, Baiid, Stephens JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS When the votes were counted in the room where the class of ' 43 was meeting, they showed that the popular choice for president was Gene Milliard. For the office of vice-president, Ann Thibodeaux was chosen. Gerry Baird was the duly-elected secretary and Joe Stephens filled the bill as treasurer. Freshman Officers The Freshmen, in a later election, decided that their first class presi- dent should be Lester Moore. Mary Smith New was named the vice-president, while Lucille Webb was named secretary and Bobby Lindsey, treasurer. Moore, New, Webb, Lindsey Brown, Cory, Gano, Lamb Menetee, Robinson, Smith, Till MEMBERS: Helen Bartlett, Jimmye Brown, Zillah Lu Cory, Anne Gano, Jean Gibson, Helen Kendall, Pauline Lamb, Sara Menefee, Anne Robinson, Anna Belle Smith, Georgia Ella Till. HONORARY MEMBERS: Imogene Atkins, Mildred Davenport, Lucile Miller, Virginia Lil Turner. Mrs. Clara Cox, hostess of the women ' s dormitory, has a task of great responsibility and difficulty in creating a second home for the many out-of-town girls who attend Centenary. That she accomplishes it with ease and grace is evident when one first opens the doors of charming Colonial Hall. The girls this year chose four seniors to serve as officers and one girl from each class to act as a representative on the governing council. Number one leader this year was Sara Menefee. The other officers included Anne Robinson, vice-president; Pauline Lamb, secretary; and Georgia Ella Till, treasurer.

In the minute book of the college there appears this notation, scrawled across a whole page under the date of October 7, 1861, apparently by Professor Pugh: Students have all gone to war. College suspended. And, God help the right! Fighting was fierce around Jackson. The College became a Confederate hospital, was captured by the invaders and used by them as a hospital and stable. Nearly 100 students were in college and another 100 in the preparatory school when this war came. In it the rifle made its first appear- ance as a weapon of wholesale destruction and its deadliness caused notations of killed in battle to be placed beside many names on the Cente- nary roster. Their flaming young spirits went shouting up the pathways of glory and honor, if not to victory. The dark maroon of their college colors were dyed with the scarlet of their own blood. New heroes joined those who had pre- ceeded them, to await those who would follow. A T H I D H i o Tie Coaches Cobb, Smith, and Hanna look over some football publicity Marvin Hoot Gibson, laithiul trainer of the Gents, puts away the game helmets for the last time When the football season of 1941-42 closed, it was announced that this would be the last sea- son for the duration of the war. While it was a poor season, it was not a season where the blame could be placed on any individual or individuals. In just plain English, Centenary lacked the reserve strength to compete against the highly-strengthened athletic teams on their schedule. Of course, when inter-collegiate athletics is abolished, somebody must go. A newly- adcpted intra-mural program, has been set up and, naturally, the director of athletics, Jake Hanna, will stay on to direct this program. It is with regret that we see Tom Cobb, line coach; Elmer Smith, backfield coach; and Mar- vin Hoot Gibson, trainer, leave the school. These men have been at Centenary for quite some time and each of them, has done a fine job. The Coaching Staff . . . The entire squad of the 1941 season And The Team The starting line-up as it appeared on the field ICffc. VT3NL fT Bob Raley tries to break away in the Washington game. Again at the beginning of the pigskin season, Centenary fans were very optimistic as to the outcome of said season, but as has been the case for the past several years, things just seemed to go the wrong way. Actually, the starting eleven was a group of A-l ball players. In Truman, Chief, Johnson, Centenary had the potentialities of another Jim Thorpe. This Indian halfback from Oklahoma had the build of a steamroller. GENTS START John Allums, Guard Gene Baldwin, Center Ja ck Baldwin, End He could drive through the line and yet was nimble enough to be a wonderful broken field runner. Tipping the scales at two hundred pounds and claiming ten seconds in the dash, this Cherokee was indeed hard to stop. And as if this were not enough, he turned out to be one of the greatest line-backers that the college has produced. In Mayo Faith, Centenary possessed one of the greatest kick- ers in its history, possibly in the southwest, but luck strictly was not with the Gents on that deal. Faith was drafted in the middle of football season. They also had the makings of a great passer in Charles Birtman but, lacking in good receivers, this possibility faded too. As said before, all of the first string boys were good but, with little or no reserve, they were quickly worn down in games where the opponents carried two g ood teams and sometimes three. Thus the last football season might be called a failure. The school officials have decided that this season will be the last for the duration of the war. The first game of the season was with the Majors of Millsaps, an old opponent whom the Gents had not played for several years, and the game had been conceded to the Gents by pre- season dopsters. Millsaps won, 20-0. The Gentlemen failed to penetrate the twenty yard line. However, Centenary was still in hopes of having a successful season when they left for Omaha, Nebraska, to play Creighton University. During the first half of this encounter it looked as if they finally had found themselves. For, during that first half, the Gentlemen played the Bluejays all over the place. Came the second half. Very weary Gentlemen plus fresh reserves for Creighton equals Creighton victory.

Several times the Centenarians were knocking at the door but lost the ball on fourth downs. Scoring in every quarter, the Rice Owls topped Centenary ' s Gentlemen 54-0 in an inter-conference clash at Houston. Again it was the old story of the Gents feeling the brunt of their opponent ' s great numerical super- iority. On Homecoming Day, the Texas Christian Horned Frogs of Fort Worth defeated the Gents, 35-7. The only high spot of the game as far as Cen- tenary was concerned was the 87- yard touchdown run by Chief John- son on the opening kick-off of the second half. In the last two games of the season, the Gentlemen tied Southwestern of Memphis in a mud- dy stalemate game, 0-0, and were beaten by their old rival, Louisiana Tech, 39-7. Thus ended another poor season that might have been a good one if the Gents could have had the proper reserve strength.

The climax of this annual event is the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, who, this year, was Peg Hawkins. Above, the crown is placed on her head by Dr. Cline while for- mer queens look on. ... In the morning a huge parade takes place down town in the business district. Above left is a picture of the first section of this parade, the cheerleaders; the Maroon Jackets; and the Band followed by the fire truck. . . .

The final event of the day is the dance put on for alumni and students alike in the college gymnasium. CELEBRATION Four people who take a very active part in the dif- ferent events of the day are the cheerleaders. Serv- ing in that capacity this year were Dudley Beene, head man of the foursome, Joanna Glassell, Susie Mulkey, and Buddy Kinne- brew. . . . Another group that does its share of work on this day is the college band. Here they are seen turning a corner in the downtown section of Shreveport. . . . The Zeta Tau Alpha sorority took the prize for the best float of the day. Here the girls get ready for the pa- rade. Which girl it was that portrayed the frog is still a mystery. THE BASKETBALL Maurice Odom, Guard Bo Whitten, Guard There have been fortunate and unfortunate basketball seasons at Centenary but the season this past year was a combination of both. At the beginning of the fall term the prospects for one of the best cage teams in this territory were excellent. With the fine group of senior varsity men that was on hand and the hope of blending some excellent sophomore material, basketball stock was exceedingly high for this year. Then fate stepped up and threw the first strike. One of the most promising of the sophomore candidates for the starting line-up, S. D.

This of course was a blow to the entire squad but, in spite of it, they went on to win all of the games that they played. Then fate threw strike number two. Ed Hoynoski, Center Alvin Martin, Center Gordan Brown, Forward SEASON Raymond Daugherty, Guard Because of bad athletic sea- sons, financially and otherwise, during the past several years, the heads of the school and the athletic department decided to abandon the inter - collegiate program. It was decided, how- ever, and much to the relief of Judson Thornton, Guard Elmer Smith, Head Basketball Coach Melbourne Crawford, Guard the basketball fans, that the rest of the program for the year would be carried on. Strike three coming up. December 7, 1941. A blow, not only to the athletic department of Centenary College but to the whole world. WAR. Another meeting of the heads of school. Another decision. Inter- collegiate athletics would be discontinued at mid-term. Thus the hopes of having on A-l cage team for 1941-42 were blasted into oblivion. The only consolation that is left for disheartened fans is the fact that the Gents had beaten Louisiana Tech in an early game and that Tech won the Louisiana Inter-Collegiate Championship this season. You might call it rationalizing, but we believe that the Gents could have won it. To take the place of abandoned inter- collegiate athletics, a new intramural athletic program was set into motion early in the second semester of this year. This program proved to be very successful before the end of the term for it is the first such program which has been set up within the college with such thoroughness. Because the whole idea was a little late in the year, only a few of the minor sports were taken up by the males of the campus this past semester. They were volley-ball, badminton, and soft- ball. Next year it is planned that more major sports, such as football, basket- ball, and boxing, will be injected into the program. This is the first opportunity that non- athletic students on the campus have been given to use the new gymnasium extensively. Only the brightest of fu- tures can be predicted for such a pro- gram. Some of the boys work out . . . Spacious locker rooms for dressing and showers . . . One of the minor sports which is very popular — ping-pong . . . One of the gym classes hard at work . . . Harder than it looks, volley ball tightens up loose muscles. MEN ' S INTRAMURAL SPORTS One of the regulations oi the newly- launched program is regularity of uni- forms.

This is a part of the panorama that is presented. It represents Queen Elizabeth and some of her courtiers pushing a foreign invader into the English Channel. And that ' s cold water, too. The local chapter of the Women ' s Athletic Association was inaugurated at Centenary under the sponsorship of Mrs. Bryant Davidson, physical education instructor, in 1924-25. This year opened with a very impressive candle-lighting ceremony and then the new members were treated to a swimming party and supper. Another social event later on in the year that was a huge success was the annual Christmas party, which was ended up by the members taking gifts to the Charity Hospital. Athletically, the W. A. A. started off the year with a badminton tournament which was followed by a ping pong tournament. The rest of the schedule was interrupted by the new intra-mural program that has been introduced. Now the W. A. A. has abandoned its usual program and works very hard to further this program. A sport, here- tofore neglected, was brought to the forefront this year. Bicycling became very popular with the girls, mostly due to tire shortage, and many hikes were sponsored by the organization. The two big events sponsored by the W. A. A. annually are the May Fete on May Day and Stunt Night on April Fool ' s Day. At the close of the year, the annual W. A. A. banquet is held and the presentation of the letters, awards, and blanket is the chief feature of the program. 1 8 g 8 s Centenary sent its students into the Spanish- American War with almost the speed of the Gatlin rapid-fire gun, appearing then on battle- fields, for the first time, as another revolution- ary step in the never-ending tragedy of conflict between nations. Every class in the college provided volunteers when the call came from their country, more than a score rushing to arms within a few days of the start of the war. Records are vague, but men of Centenary are known to have served in Cuba and in the Philippines, and to have been in the embarkation camps of Florida when the war ended. Many were members of the famous old Louisiana militia. In it they brought honor to their country, their state and their college. Once again the blood of Centenary flowed for this nation and once again a record of loyalty, devotion and service to college and nation was written in red. Feet which had nimbly trod the green campus climbed the somber stairs of hero- ism and death to join the men of 1846 and 1860, their eyes turned expectantly toward the curtain yet to be drawn back from 1917 and 1942.

F % «v--f THE CONGLOMERATE The Conglomerate of this year tried to present the news of the campus from week to week in an impartial manner, always providing the students with the type of paper they wanted. There were eight page editions of the paper on the opening of school and on Homecoming Day. Midway of the second term, the curtailment of the inter-collegiate athletic program of the college and the general situation of the country with the many shortages caused the publications department to decide upon a five column Conglomerate instead of the traditional six column edition. The new style paper enjoyed the same popularity with the students as the old one did. One of the activities of the Conglomerate this year was the plaque that it donated as a prize to the winner of the Student Senate flag design contest. The Forecast column continued to occupy its place on the front page, always attempting to encourage any activity which might help the progress of the school. Also were the old favorites, the gossip columns, Con- glomeration, Ladies and Gentlemen, and several others. Another new feature of this year was the appointment of the next year ' s editor, Joe Stephens, before the end of school, thus enabling him to have the aid and advice of the retiring editor when he first assumed the re- sponsibilities of putting out a paper a week.

THE CENTENARY BAND The 1941-42 edition of the Centenary Band proved to be the best one that has yet been turned out by the local music school. They started early in the fall when a new director, William Causey, stepped into the musical picture and started the marching band on its way for the football season. With the Maroon Jackets and Drum Majors Robert Pugh and Charles Strickland, the Band exhibited many difficult formations at all of the home games and made one trip to Ruston for the Thanksgiving Day game with Louisiana Tech. The bands at Cente nary have varied from year to year but the band this year topped them all for versatility. There have been bands that could strictly swing out ; there have been bands that could march; there have been bands that could do fine concert work; but this year ' s band excelled in ail three of these things. And, because of this fact, they gained the popularity not known by the bands in the past several years at Centenary and soon will take their rightful place among the organizations on the campus. Continuing a practice started by the 1940-41 Centenary Band, the entire group was organized this year and held election for officers of such an organization. Sam Papa, The band makes a V ior vic- tory at one of the home games. The band heads one of the many Centenary parades downtown. oboe player, was chosen to lead the group. The other officers included Harriett Crawford, vice-president; Lanford DeGeneres, secretary-treasurer; and J. L. Soloman, publicity chairman. Yoncopins should be handed to Azalie Webb, sweetheart of this year ' s band. Usually the feminine ones who are elected to such posts are elected and that is all. But Azalie proved herself to be one that rightfully de- served the honor. At all functions, even dull practice sessions, she was present or accounted for. In fact, if statistics were taken, she probably had a better attendance record than some of the members. Gentlemen, your hats off, please.

The Centenary College Choir, newly-organized this year, made a name for itself not only in Shreveport but in surrounding Louisiana and Texas. Under the capable direction of Alvin O, Cheezy, Voran, the Choir gave concerts at Minden, Louisiana, Longview, Texas, and at the Women ' s Department Club in Shreveport, as well as appearing as a feature of Kollege Kapers at various towns in North Louisiana. Numerous appearances were made before local groups during the year. The formal opening concert given at the Women ' s Depart- ment Club was distinctive for its culture and artistry, attaining new heights in excellence and quality for Centenary ' s College Choir. The choir is a working group of friendly persons, and musicianship alone is not sufficient to complete satis- factory requirements for entrance into the organization. There must be a community of spirit and group unity. The admirable achievement which the Choir made along these lines is commendable. Instead of the con- ventional choir robe, the singers wore modern uniforms — the girls in black skirts and white blouses and the boys in tuxedos. The Choir took special pride in singing Thy Song, ' Choir ' s director, Cheezy Voran. a number written by Nobel Cain and dedicated to the Plans for 1942-43 include a week of vacation-practice before school starts, perhaps at a private camp or at Caney Lake. The officers of the organization are Sam Papa., president; Harriett Crawford, treasurer; June Franks, secretary; and Henrietta Greene, librarian.

When the finished product was publicly presented, it was generally agreed that this was the best choral group ever produced at Centenary.

The alma mater was sung and the last curtain came down on another fine season ior Kollege Kapers, student variety show. With Dr. S. D. Morehead, the originator and director, this show has played before many, many audiences since its date of birth, 1933. Although transportation facilities hampered them some, they made their annual tours to surrounding cities again this year and proved, as much as ever, to be very popular. Of course comedy prevailed, as in most college shows, and such wits as Flournoy, Achee, Carone, and even Backstage Manager Sullivan kept the audiences rolling. Besides laughter there was plenty of music, what with a dance orchestra and plenty of vocalists. An innovation to Kapers this year was the college choir, which travelled with the show and did very well with the heavier side of the show. Dancers, soloists, and magicians rounded out the rest of a good cast. Some o the girls warm up theii vocal chords before the she The Kollege Kapers orchestra, 1941-42 version. MAROON JACKETS Officers President Ann Burnette Vice-President Anne Robinson Secretary Mabel Boddie Treasurer Helen Dwire Organized and sponsored by Dean of Women, Mrs. A. R. Campbell, this group took over its usual and unusual duties on the campus as the twelve hostesses of Centenary College with renewed interest immediately after the summer vacation. They served as guides for those bewildered freshmen, helping them arrange schedules, conducting them to classes, and showing them the ropes in general. When the uproar of regis- tration had somewhat subsided, the girls took up their march- ing and drum tutoring under Robert Eatman and Robert Pugh until they led the band in many intricate formations throughout the season. In addition to accompanying the band on the grid- iron and in parades, the Maroon Jackets form an official wel- coming group for all visitors to the college, and serve at every campus function.

HONORARY AND DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS ALPHA C H I The beginning of the year found Alpha Chi with the usual small membership, but mid-semester grades brought nine more students into the ranks of those eligible. With the initiation of an additional five after the mid-term grades, the membership list of the 1941-42 chapter again reached the proportion of former years. Alpha Chi conducted its annual chapel program dedicated to its patron goddess of Wisdom, and made its presentation of the leather, gold-engraved notebook to the student voted by the club as the most deserving freshman of the year. The society meets only occasionally, and then usually for a specific purpose, such as the initiation of new members. Since the installation of the local chapter of the fraternity in 1925, Louisiana Alpha has stood as a goal for the upperclassmen in their pursuit of knowledge, and as a beacon for the underclassmen, guiding them through their first few college years with an incentive to maintain a high scholastic average throughout their college career.

It was founded in 1932 by Mrs. A. R. Campbell, Dean of Women. Freshmen of high scholastic achievement are entitled to membership in the fraternity. This year, Alpha Sigma Pi has done a great deal concerning its activities. Meetings were held at members ' houses once a month and successful plans were discussed there. The usual chapel program was held, which entertained the students and instructed them as to the purpose of this organization. The most important ac- tivity was the banquet celebrating Alpha Sigma Pi ' s tenth anniversary at Centenary College. It was held in the Student Union Building. As there were many speakers and a well-planned program, the banquet was enjoyed by all. Alpha Sigma Pi is a constant reminder to its members to uphold their scholarship through their entire college life. ALPHA SIGMA PI SIGMA PI SIGMA Officers President David Barton Vice-President , Quitman Williams Secretary J. Knox Smith Treasurer Leroy Scott Sigma Pi Sigma, the only national Physics society having chapters in colleges and universities of recognized standing, was founded as a local honor organization at Davidson College in 1921 by nine physics students and faculty members. They sensed a need for an organization which would bring those particularly interest- ed in this science into closer association for their mutual benefit. The local society was so successful that a movement for a nationalization was launched in 1925. The society now numbers thirty-six chapters. Delta chapter at Centenary was the fourth chapter founded when the movement gained momentum nation- ally. It continued successfully for awhile and then dropped from the picture. In 1941, under the guidance of Dr. F. E. Lowance, Head of the Department of Physics and an alumnus of the fraternity, the local chapter was reorganized. The group is made up of physics students, Dr. Lowance and one honorary member, Dean John A. Hardin. It meets twice every month and many of its meetings are open to the public. Here a well-spent evening may be had listening to the various prominent speakers. Every year the organization gives an award to the most prominent freshman in physics. Also, this year, the chapter had as a project the construction of a model radio-controlled airplane but government priorities soon shattered their efforts. Forgetting for a day how many wave-lengths a low B flat on the trombone makes, the entire organization takes off in the spring of the year for their annual picnic and enjoy the frivolities of the layman.

The meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month and are made up of forums for the discussion of current problems in the medical world. At these meetings, doctors or Centenary graduates address the group and answer questions of scientific interest. Mem- bership is limited to those pre-med students who have a B average in Zoological courses — the unanimous vote of the organization being another prerequisite. Each new initiate is required to present a 1,500-word thesis on some phase of medicine cf current interest to the group. The new member also undergoes a solemn ritual as part of his acceptance into the fraternity. With Miss Klett and Dr. Thayer as co-sponsors and Ray W. Goens as president, the group continues to devote its entire effort to the acquisition of medical knowledge, the removal of false ideas and beliefs, and the further- ance of the ideals upon which the fraternity was founded.

Alpha Sigma Chi, honorary Chemistry fraternity, under the able guidance of Dr. Entrikin and Dr. Thayer, has stimulated much student interest in chemistry this year. Because of the great role that chemistry is playing in the present defense program several very enlightening talks on subjects related to chemistry in war were given by workers in various fields of national defense. Open meetings, a new feature of the organization this year, have attracted a surprising number of interested underclassmen who will endeavor to join th ranks of Alpha Sigma Chi next year. Of course, in addition to the scholastic requirements, it is distinctly to a freshman ' s advantage to cultivate a taste for strong coffee, odiferous pipes, and a willingness to participate in long bull-sessions. Members of Alpha Sigma Chi who are eligible to affiliate with the American Chemical Society usually attend the semi-annual meeting of this national organization in order to gain more knowledge of the chemical pro- fession.

Ford, has done much toward increasing student interest in the French language and cus- toms. The programs of the monthly meetings conducted in French consist of songs and plays. Of outstanding interest this year was the joint Christmas party held with the Spanish Club. The purpose of this was to bring about a closer understanding of the language and customs of the two countries. The last meeting of the year will be the annual French party, to which senior French students of the high schools will be invited, thus creating interest in the school for prospective students. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS MINISTERIAL CLUB Officers President Stanley Kirkland Vice-President Taylor Wall Secretary-Treasurer Arthur Crawford The Ministerial Club was founded by Dr. George Sexton on October 6, 1921. Its present sponsors are Dean and Mrs. R. E. Smith. The meetings are held every other Friday. To be a member of the Ministerial Club one must be a ministerial student or studying for some definite work in the field of the church and religion. In past years, the Ministerial Club has functioned as an organized group to promote religious activities on the campus and in the dormitory. Since the Committee on Religious Activities is serving in this capacity, the club has continued as a fraternal or professional group, emphasizing that its members cooperate with other clubs. This year its members have worked with the Y. M. C. A. boys ' olubs of the city and several have served as pastors in near-by rural communities. Among the honorary members of the Ministerial Club are President Cline, Dean Hardin, Bishop Hoyt M. Dobbs, Dr. A. M. Serex, and all Methodist pastors of Shreveport.

This organization was founded in 1931 by five future teachers, who wished to further their educational aims. Therefore, its object is to promote high standards of scholarship among students of education. A person must have a B average and a vital interest in the teaching profession for admission. The candidate for membership must also pass the unanimous vote of the chapter before a bid can be extend- ed. As the number of members is limited, those receiving bids are justly proud. One of the projects recently undertaken is a paper that is written each month on topics that may be of some help to those now teaching. A copy of this paper is sent to each former member of Chi Sigma Nu in hope that it will be of some benefit. The monthly meetings are held in the homes of the members and are marked for their interest and ever pres- ent refreshments. Due to the predominance of the fair sex in the teaching field, most of the members have been girls. However, three boys were elected to the organization this year and, though still in the minority, they are rapidly asserting themselves as prominent members of the fraternity. The speakers at the meetings are outstanding educators of the city and the state who usually discuss the classroom problems of the prospective teachers. Burks, Dutt, Gibson, Gillespie . . .

The following objectives were used in planning this program of work: provision for vocational guidance and further professional knowledge about specific phases of home economics; development of unity of purpose and friendship among members; provision for opportunities to develop leadership and responsibility; provision for the cultural and social development of members; encour- agement of each member to contribute toward the happiness and well-being of her home and community. Particular stress has been put upon the part individual members could contribute in this emergency by keep- ing themselves physically fit and emotionally poised; fostering the strength and integrity of the family unit of which they are a part; initiating and cooperating in programs for improving the nutritive conditions of college students and people in their communities; doing their share in helping to keep up the morale of the people of the nation; and increasing their understanding of present conditions by reading and looking for evidence of factors which affect home and community living.

The Centenary Dramatics Club was wholly reorganized at the beginning of the school year through the co- operation of Mr. and Mrs. John Wray Young, Jr., Directors of the Shreveport Little Theatre and Dramatic In- structors of the college, for the purpose of providing an outlet for the dramatic ability of any student with such talent. The club meets every Friday morning at ten o ' clock in the chapel building. While the programs have consist- ed mainly of performances by its members, occasionally outsiders have been invited to entertain the club. For instance, during the early spring, Mrs. Dorothy Glasscock was asked to recite The White Cliffs of Dover. During the month of March the club provided entertainment for one of the meetings of the Centenary Mother ' s Club. In April, a performance was given by some of the members before the assembly of the student body, and later on in the month a radio program was sponsored by the club. The entire group hopes to present a play before the close of the school year. DRAMATICS CLUB THE SPANISH CLUB As the school year of 1941-42 draws to a close, the Spanish Club of Centenary College completes another suc- cessful year. Under the sponsorship of Mr. White and Mrs. Morwood, the club has grown in size, activities and prestige. Meeting once a month at the homes of the various members, the group is enlightened by guest speakers and entertainers. The meetings are carried on in Spanish, games al Espanol are played and refreshments are served. The outstanding event of the year was the joint Christmas party held with Le Cercle Francois. At this gala affair the customs and ideals of the two countries, Spain and France, were stressed and a unique time was had by all. The final meeting of the year is climaxed by the annual Spanish Club Banquet, where hot tamales, tortillas, and other typical Spanish dishes are served. Under the capable leadership of Mabel Boddie, President; Al Richardson, Vice-President; and Emily Prothro, Secretary-Treasurer, the Spanish Club this year has done much to further the interest and appreciation of all things Spanish.

The Commerce Club developed out of informal studenl discussion groups made up of students majoring in commerce and economics, beginning in 1937. By 1938 the students felt it necessary to have a formal organi- zation, thereupon, the group was organized. One of the primary purposes of the organization is to familiarize the students with practical business opera- tions. Talks and round-table discussions by local businessmen give the students an opportunity to learn first-hand what businessmen expect of a college graduate. The initial address of this year ' s series of meetings was made by Mr. George Sexton at a luncheon meeting and was one of the best meetings of the year. On Monday night, February 9, 1942, the Commerce Club was host to the North Louisiana Chapter of the So- ciety of Certified Public Accountants. The address of the evening was given by Mr. Harry L. Viser and was followed by an open discussion led by Mr. Viser and his fellow C. P. A. ' s. Among those who were present was Mr. Fred Hettler, president of the Society. COMMERCE CLUB PSI DELTA CHI Officers President John Woods Vice-President Felice Hicks Secretary Kathryn Blackwell Treasurer Elizabeth Burton The big event of the year for Psi Delta Chi, local honorary psychology society, was the complete reorganiza- tion of the club early in the semester. When election smoke had cleared away, John Woods was announced the new prexy by acclamation. With stiffer qualifications for entrance into the club, Psi Delta Chi proceeded on to a successful year. Meeting in the home of their advisors, Professors Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Topper, the club heard numerous speakers give their varied opinions on unique subjects usually falsely considered by the layman as a part of psychology. These included palmistry, phrenology, and so forth. Other speakers included many successful men who demonstrated to the society the practical application of psychology in their respective professions. These interesting programs were arranged and capably handled by Ernest Carter, program chairman. Late in the spring plans for Psi Delta Chi ' s annual sponsored trek to the Central Louisiana Hospital for the Insane at Pineville, Louisiana, were under way and much was expected to be accomplished of the opportunity to make personal observations of typical abnormalities in that institution. Psi Delta Chi was originally organized in 1937. The society was an outgrowth of a mental hygiene society created through the effort of Dr. Young, Professor of Psychology at L. S. U., and until its reorganization this year remained as it was originally planned. At the present time application is being made for membership in Psi Chi, the national psychology fraternity, and this is the number one item on the list of Psi Delta Chi ' s projects.

Membership is limited to town girls, preferably Juniors and Seniors. The purpose of the club is to promote better inter-sorority relations, and to provide an opportunity for social activities participated in by members of all the sororities, especially during the summer months. This organization is now in its sixth year, and is living up to all its purposes. The officers are chosen from the three organizations in rotation, and this year ' s president is a representative of Chi Omega, while the vice-president is from Zeta Tau Alpha, and the secretary-treasurer from Alpha Xi Delta. They have a planned program of monthly activities, most enjoyable of which is their unique Spring Formal. Apple, Baird, Blackwell, Boyet, Brown . . . Bumette, Burton, Canon, Freeze, Graham . . .

Ann Burnette Pan-Hellenic Council survived the first year of chapter limitation, established by repre- sentatives in March, 1941, for the purpose of limiting the membership in the chapters of the three Greek-letter sororities on the campus to fifty-five members and pledges. Limi- tation of members had long been discussed by members of the Council in the past years, but had been set aside for lesser rulings. Thus far, the decision of March, 1941, has met with favor by the three groups, and if future Council representatives agree on rules, the establishment, and supervision of them as have the twelve members of the 1941-42 Coun- cil, the women Greeks on the campus may meet without engaging in mortal combat. Continuing the inaugurated plan of several seasons ago, whereby a complete list of the three groups of Rushees was made into one Pan-Hellenic list, the Council set dates and time for the brief period of summer rushing and the established rules for Formal Rush Season during registration week of the college in early July. The Rush seasons were well planned and supervised by the Council, and all formal and informal activities of the three sororities went off with but minor violations of the rulings. PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL Officers Chairman Carl Vollmer V ice-Chairman Carlton Graff Secretary -Treasurer Irl Harper A very important organization on the campus of Centenary College is the Inter-Fraternity Council, which is just what its name implies. The primary function of the Inter-Fraternity Council, and the purpose for which it was organized, is to promote a feeling of friendliness and cooperation among the members of the vairous fraterni- ties. This job has been ably handled by the Council this year headed by Carl Vollmer, a representative of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. The Council is made up of six members, two from each fraternity (these members are usually the president and one other). One of the most admirable of their accomplishments is the organization and supervision of rushing, which, as a result of the efforts of the Council, goes off in an orderly fashion.

KAPPA SIGMA EPSILON CHAPTER This year the Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Sigma forged consistently ahead in all lines of endeavor to complete their most successful year to date. Under the splendid leadership of Carl Vollmer and Jimmy Harris, the Kappa Sigmas made remarkable progress in all fields. Some of the most outstanding boys of the campus wear the Star and Crescent. Foremost among these are Bill Graham, President of the Senior Class, Who ' s Who, Editor of the Yoncopin, Band, Student Senate, and Most Versatile Boy; Carl Vollmer, President of the Inter-Fraternity Council, Who ' s Who, past president of Psi Delta Chi and Sophomore Class, Student Senate, and Student- Faculty Social Committee; Gene Hilliard, President of Junior Class, Alpha Chi, Student Senate, and Commerce Assistant; John Woods, President of Psi Delta Chi, President of Pi Kappa Delta, Debate Team, Alpha Chi, and Student Senate; John Lowe, Vice-President of Alpha Sigma Pi; and Dudley Beene, Head Cheerleader. Finding our country at war, many loyal Kappa Sigmas resigned from college in order to enter some branch of the service. Dudley Beene joined the Naval Air Corps, which had already claim- ed another brother, Henderson Dowling. Kappa Sigmas in the Army Air Corps include former prexy Lloyd DeMoss, M. M. Waldroup, Richard Cochrane, Sigmund Florsheim, and Cullus Walk- er. Don and Frank Cook enlisted in the navy immediately after Pearl Harbor. Previously, Ralph Payton, Charles Morrison, Buster Batchelor, and A. G. Riddick had joined the Army. Kappa Sigma feels justly proud of its members in all of the fighting forces. Epsilon Chapter gave the service twenty-six fighting men and bought a $500.00 Victory Bond. Special thanks go to Elmo P. Lee, Jr., Alumnus Advisor, and Professor Robert S. See, an alumnus of the fraternity, for rendering conspicuous service to the fraternity. Looking back over a year in which they accumulated a sizeable share of honors, predominated in numerous activities, and were visited by their Man of the Year , Edward R. Murrow, the boys of Kappa Sigma certainly have a bright future. Adair, Beene, Blown, Carruth, Conger, Cook, Day, Drake, M., Drake, R. . . .

Once more the boys across the street maintained the colorful record of their predecessors. Under the capable guidance of President Gilbert Hetherwick, the Alpha Iota Chapter of Kappa Alpha added another brilliant year to their al- ready long and peerless record. The Alpha Iota Chapter cooperated wholeheartedly in the national defense effort, being the first organization on the campus to buy a $1,000 defense bond.

In fhe field of individual accomplishments, the Chapter began its string of victories early when Tom Griffith and Lester Moore captured the presidencies of the Sophomore and Freshman classes. Camp Flournoy, Buddy Kinnebrew, and foe Stephens were elected to other positions in the Senior and Junior classes. In the scholastic field, the Chapter had many representatives in both the honorary scholastic fraternities, with Gilbert Hetherwick and Ro- land Achee heading Alpha Chi and Alpha Sigma Pi, respectively, and Jack Marshall as secretary of the former. Prexy Hetherwick, Centenary Gentleman, and Flournoy, Most Pop- ular Boy, were president and treasurer, respectively, of the Student Senate. The science department named David Barton president of Sigma Pi Sigma, honorary physics fraternity, with Leroy Scott as secretary. In the language department, Clint Teacle and Al Richardson were vice- presidents of the French and Spanish Clubs, with Roland Achee head- ing the Dramatics Club. The journalism field found Retiring President Hetherwick turning the editorship of the Conglomerate over to Presi- dent-elect Joe Stephens.

' LAMBDA CHI ALPHA THETA RHO ZETA CHAPTER Living up to the tradition of Lambda Chi Alpha, Theta Rho Zeta chapter has completed the school year, 1941-42, with a much increased membership and outstanding scholastic honors in the National Fraternity. The chapter gained national recognition with the announcement that it ranked second in ratings of the eighty-nine chapters throughout Canada and the United States. This school year has been under the capable leadership of President Richard Norton, with the able assistance of Vice-President Frank McAneny, Cecil Bland as treasurer, and William Swyers as a most capable secretary since Taylor Wall answered the call of Uncle Sam. Several other members are also serving in the armed forces. Former president, Lt. Fred Mc- Clanahan is in the air corps; Lt. Gains Norton and former alumni advisor Roy Montgomery are also missing from the little lodge with green blinds. Special recognition is given to Noisy Montgomery for his help and support, without which the chapter would have been in a quandry at times. Also deserving special recognition is Pledge Master Carlton Graff, who has rendered a most unique service in seeing that the pledges receive proper training. The fall semester began with the usual rushing, the opening gun being a banquet given at the Caddo Hotel by the chapter and alumni. The closing of a successful rush week was a picnic at the Shreveport Boat Club on Cross Lake. A dance filled the bill later on which marked the beginning of Theta Rho Zeta again taking its rightful place in social activities on the campus. One of the chapter ' s outstanding initiates this year is an honorary member, Professor Wil- liam G. Phelps. The chapter owes Professor Phelps a vote of thanks for his interest and help in the fraternity. Wonder what poor McAneny did?

The Zetas started rolling up honors for 1941-42 early in the fall by adding eighteen girls to their roster during pledge week. Later this list was enlarged by six more neophytes as a result of mid-term rushing. Joanna Glassell was elected cheerleader and four Zetas were elected to serve as class offi- cers. In the Kollege Kapers cast for this year we find three Zetas: Martha Stevens, Justine Holmes, and Jean Evans. You will find five Zetas in the Centenary Band: Martha Stevens, El- len Eastham, Carolyn Canon, Margie Giles and Jackie Rogers. When Homecoming time came, the Zetas won first place in the float contest and continued their tradition of claiming the Homecoming Queen. Prexy Peg Hawkins was elected to reign over the festivities of the day. Besides this honor, Peg is Co-ed Vice-President of the Student Body; a member of Who ' s Who; CenCoe; Pan-Hellenic Council; and Maroon Jackets. Two other outstanding girls of this year ' s chapter are Azalie Webb and Ann Burnette. Besides her regular duties as Treasurer of Beta Iota, Azalie is this year ' s Band Sweetheart; President of the W. A. A.; a CenCoe; Junior Girl Manager for the newly-launched Inter-Mural Program; and Centenary ' s Most Athletic Girl. Secretary Ann Burnette has at the head of her list of many activities the student chairmanship of the Centenary Unit of the Red Cross. Her other ac- tivities include Associate Editor of the Conglomerate; Who ' s Who; President of the Maroon Jackets; CenCoe; Secretary-Treasurer of Pan-Hellenic; and awarded first place in the Student Senate Flag Contest held ment she was presented with an engraved plaque. The Zetas are well represented in honorary organizations and clubs on the campus. Myrian Holloway serves as president of Chi Sigma Nu and Margaret Gillespie as vice-president.

The Chi O ' s of Iota Gamma were busy ones this year. Besides the usual run of meetings, open houses, dances, and so forth, many of the girls under the cardinal and straw have been active in work outside of the college. Representatives of the X and the horseshoe could be found in The Little Theatre, Civilian Defense Work, and Red Cross Work. When not en- gaged in one of these activities, the girls must have studied some, for their scholastic aver- age was the highest on the campus. On the campus they did very well for themselves this year, having achieved many honors. Among the most outstanding members of the chapter is the President, Mary Alice Shores. She claimed membership in Pan Hellenic Council; CenCoe; Maroon Jackets; and Student Senate. Gladys Tippett, Vice-President, was President of the CenCoes and a member of Kollege Kapers; Pan-Hellenic Council; Dramatics Club; and Student Senate. Secretary, Anne Robinson was Vice-President of the Maroon Jackets and of the Dormitory Council; a member of Chi Sigma Nu and Psi Delta Chi. Treasurer, Jimmie Thibodeaux headed the Pan-Hellenic Council and held down the job of Secretary for the Student Body and Student Senate. Her other hon- ors included Who ' s Who; Most Popular Girl; CenCoe. Jimmye Brown was voted the Most Ver- satile Girl and elected a Kappa Sigma Sweetheart. Her honors included Who ' s Who; Kollege Kapers; Associate Editor of the Yoncopin; Psi Delta Chi; Dormitory Council. Susie Mulkey, Cheerleader, was elected Vice-President of the Sophomores and claimed membership in Alpha Sigma Pi; Pan-Hellenic; CenCoe. Pledge Mother, Rob Williamson was in the Maroon Jackets; Student Senate; Geological Club; CenCoe. Glennye H. Pirtle was Football Sweet- heart; Secretary of the Sophomores; Alpha Sigma Pi.

The friendly Alpha Xi ' s have rolled up another record for the envy of past and future members in this, their eleventh year of activity on the Centenary Campus. The activi- ties of their members are many and varied, and embrace almost every phase of cam- pus life. Their president, LaRue Powell, distinguished herself as a member of the Stu- dent Senate, Cen Coe, Pan-Hellenic Council, and Chi Sigma Nu, as well as being listed in Who ' s Who in American Colleges. She was ably assisted in her management of Alpha Xi ' s activities by the vice-president, Helen Dwire, who is also vice-president of the Pan-Hellenic Council, treasurer of the Maroon Jackets, a member of Cen Coe and of the Faculty-Fraternity Committee, a beauty, and a class officer. Margaret Williams, their efficient secretary, in spite of the work demanded for her office, found time to be a most active member of the Maroon Jackets. The distinction of the Alpha Xi ' s was emphasized in various ways, from beauty queens and fraternity sponsors to high scholastic honors by such members as Georgia Ella Till, Patricia Harper, Betty Bryant, and Helon Allen. At any football game you could see the girls in their blue and gold uniforms, pepping up the players and spectators alike with their lively yells. The social life of the girls of the quill is never dull. Their regular Mon- day night suppers before meetings are enjoyed by all the members, as are also their many charitable works, such as their annual Christmas party given in their house for needy children in the city. Two of the high points in their social program are their an- nual Rose Banquet and Founder ' s Day Banquet and Dance; all of their dances are known for their originality and appeal. Claiming most of the attention and excitement at the little brown lodge at present is the Chapter ' s choice for next year ' s president and chief guide — petite, brunette, brown-eyed Martha Hart, who, though only a Sophomore, promises to bring bigger and better things to her lodge. Already Martha is a Cen Coe, a member of Cenhomec, and manager of Sophomore Class athletics. She is a hardworking and conscientious member, and her lovable disposition and winning ways should make her a good president. ALPHA XI DELTA... BETA Off i c e r s President . .

Through work and fun, the girls have found this another year of success. To begin the year right, a wiener roast was given in honor of the new members. This was followed by many other functions and Aufait took a definite part in many campus activities. Some of their outstanding students of the year are: Virginia Breithaupt, Kappa Sigma Sweetheart; treas- urer of W.. A. A.; co-manager of inter-mural sports for seniors.

Q 9 ' 7 Centenary College was ready when World War I engulfed the United States, for full military training was in effect at Centenary even in 1916 when the Mexican bandit leader, Pancho Villa, threatened our Southwestern border. When this nation turned its strength against the imperialism, aggression and selfish destruction of the Kaiser twenty-five years ago, just as it now again has joined the world battle to pre- serve civilization itself, students and alumni of Centenary quickly responded to the national demand for manpower. Into training camps and directly into organized military forces went the college manpower. In the lines at home, in the trenches overseas, behind the first tanks of modern warfare on the Western Front, men of Centenary served their nation and preserved the traditions of heroic sacrifice, daring gallantry and unflinching cour- age which always have characterized those leaving its halls to face the battles of either life or death. As in the wars before, World War I found the Maroon of Centenary again marching beside the Stars and Stripes — ever onward to victory. F E, A T II R H i D THE 1942 YONCOPIN SPONSOR The Chi Omega ' s check over their prospects To be named Sponsor of the Yoncopin is an honor not easily won and the possession of it indicates plenty of hard work. Each year since 1932 the Yoncopin staff has put on this contest to decide who shall be its official spon- sor. 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. Besides the honor of being the sponsor of the annual, the girl is also made happy financially. This year, in keeping with the times, the winner was awarded a seventy-five dollar Victory Bond. The second-placer received fifteen dollars in Victory Stamps. When all of the votes had been counted on April 15th, Patricia Harper of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority was an- nounced as the winner. Azalie Webb of Zeta Tau Alpha, and last year ' s winner, claimed second place. The Alpha Xi Delta ' s received a beautiful plaque for they were the sorority that the sponsor represented. If the sorority re- peats their performance for three successive years, then the plaque is permanently their own property. Azalie Webb, last year ' s sponsor and second-place winner this year ... Ann Thibodeaux and Carolyn Clay read over the rules of the contest. The Alpha Xi ' s talk the situation over in the Yoncopin of ice.

A court of upperclass women of the college and surrounding insti- tutions attend the Queen of May for that event. The honored girl who reigned over the festivities this year was Lou Dell Liston while her Maid of Honor was Anne Robinson.

Voted the most versatile pair on the campus, Wil- liam Graham and Jim- mye Brown relax before getting down to hard work on the annual. Camp Flournoy and Ann Thibodeaux, voted most popular boy and most popular girl respectively, stop for a bull session in the Sub between classes. This year the Yoncopin staff decided to let two noted artists pick their beauties. They were Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Bracker. Mr. Bracker is a well-known illustrator while Mrs. Bracker has estab- lished for herself a name as a portrait painter. The announcement of the winner was done in a more novel way than usual this year. All of the beauties modeled at an early spring style show and at the end of the show, Miss Harriett Crawford was announced as Miss Centenary of 1942.

Jniss Justine sjtoime Jnlss JHarlha Elevens Jyliss Martha ftart At the St. Patrick ' s Day style show, all of the girls modeled clothes that would now be in demand since the country is at war. These included not only dresses for social affairs but also clothes that women will wear in their National Defense Work. The out- standing thing about all of these clothes was the simplicity of the designs. Helen Dwire in simple afternoon attire. Mary Smith New in a pretty spring flowered print. Martha Hart in her Air Raid Warden ' s uniform. Martha Stevens in a simple but neat afternoon dress. CIVILIAN PI LOT TRAINING ' Switch off! . . . Contact! In 1939, the C. A. A. chose Centenary as one of the nation ' s colleges to offer a course in aeronautics. Today, almost all of the graduates of this course are doing their bit towards the defeat of the enemy. Some are fighting with the armed forces of the United States; some are ferrying bombers across the Atlantic; still others have become instructors and are now teaching others to fly for this great emergency. During that first year, primary flight training was about all that could be offered. Now, advanced courses are being offered to the more eager and hard-working ones. For those who wish to reach the top, an instruc- tor ' s rating may be had. Fledgling flyers enter school cilice. Students take a lew minutes be- tween ilights or pictures. The course has grown so in numbers that it has kept Head Instructor Claude Hamel busy with constant prep- arations for expansion. The school has gained wide recognition and young men keep pouring into the air- port wanting to learn how to fly. The first requirements are to pass a pretty tough physical exam and produce a birth certificate. Then a few other prerequisites and the student enters ground school. This is not a snap course and plenty of hard study is needed to stay eligible. Finally the student gets into the air and, after, probably, scaring the instructor half to death four or five times, does his solo work. After primary comes sec- ondary work and on up to an instructor ' s rating. Instrument ratings, etc., may be obtained after long experience. With the aviation industry becoming more and more predominant each day, these boys are receiving good training that will be very valuable not only in war, but in the peace after the war. ■ i M MMMaMI— — Hll Mi Bailey warms up his ship.

In the spring of the year, the campus of Centenary turns into a beautiful haven of flowers. Already dotted with trees of all varieties, it is a sym- bol of all that is beautiful. Spring is also the season of beautiful women, for which Centenary is also noted. We have tried to put a combination of both into the photographs on this page.

Along with them went the pretty new green filing cabinet that they had recently purchased. With the drawers arranged in alphabetical order, this simple device was supposed to cut out all bottle-necks in the business. But you might say that it failed. For example, we have some pictures of a football game. Where shall we put them? Shall it be under S for sports; A for athletics; F for football; G for games; P for pigskin; etc., etc.? Why, my deah, this could go on forever. But it did not. One day, ' while he was rummaging through the files, Graham found J. Brown ' s grandmother neatly tucked in under letter Q. This was too much.
