The Yoncopin presents the keys with which you may open your treasure chest and draw out the memories of Centenary. Pierce Cline . . . Friend and Philosopher By Don M. Ewing Associate Editor of The Shreveport Times Pierce Cline, Ph.B., M.A., L.L.D 1890— 1943 Pierce Cline was born February 17, 1890, in Waleska, Georgia, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wes- ley Cline, and received his early schooling there. His education carried him on to Reinhardt College, Emory University, University of Chicago and Columbia University in New York. He came to Centenary as a professor of history in 1920, became president in 1933, and died on October 25, 1943. In between the dates reams could be written about the many honors accorded him, about his fine achievements for others, about his many noble small deeds as well as his magnificent large ones. None of it would mean half as much as even a fleeting memory of Pierce Cline to those who had the good fortune ocasionally to see inside a mind never quiet and a heart always open. Our friendship was built on respect rather than great length of time. It was carried on chiefly in two ways — over the telephone or with Pierce Cline perched on ( against would be a better word) the hard seat of a straight chair at a corner of my desk, which always was so full of rub- bish he had difficulty in finding a place to rest his elbows as he spoke earnest words on matters that were heartfelt with both of us. I don ' t know how many editorials running 500 to 1,000 words each have been written by me from one or two simple little sentences spoken by Pierce Cline. He never asked me to write an Dr. Cline and prominent Shreveporters gather for the opening o the Sexton Memorial Campaign of 1937. Left to right, Dr. M. E. Dodd, Dr. Cline, E. A. Frost, Dr. Westbrook Steele, Bishop Sam Hay, Bishop Hoyt Dobbs, George S. Sexton, Jr., and Arch Haynes. editorial. Yet I never wrote an editorial dealing with Centenary or matters related to it that didn ' t come from his heart. He would come into the office, plank himself down in the hard chair, tell me something without any explanation of why he told me, and depart. The point is that our own understanding of each other was so complete that neither of us had to explain. Sometimes I ' d call him up and ask a question seemingly unrelated to anything of the moment. He ' d talk for 30 minutes and every word he spoke would be exactly- along the lines of the information I was seeking. During the red-hot fight over college dancing he came in one day, sat on the straight chair, leaned forward, and with his eyes actually glistening, said: Did you ever stop to think that besides the Holy Trinity, there ' s an earthly trinity? It is made up of the church — regardless of sect — the school and the community. Together they can reach any objective, any ideal. With any one of the three lagging, the other two are helpless. When they fight each other all three are destroyed. When they fight side by side all opposition is destroyed. Think it over.

Visionary — Yet Practical That was all. But from that simple paragraph I wrote a Sunday morning front page editorial appeal to everyone in the church, in the college and in the community to unite in keeping Centenary a college of all religions, all peoples, striving always for the betterment of each branch of that earthly trinity. I don ' t know how much this had to do with the quick ending of the question then at issue, but it was a happy ending — for all. I mention this not only as an insight into Pierce Cline ' s mind and heart, but because, while every word of that editorial was mine, every ideal in it was his. The earthly trinity was his life, his goal — high and hard to reach, yet always kept at eye- level, too. I have met no man who could rise higher in vision without taking his feet off the ground of practicalism than Pierce Cline. I called him up one day just after the Army courses started at Centenary. What about all this Army demand for science and math and so on, I asked. Is education being shot to pieces culturally by this war? It is amazing, he came back without hesitation — and I could vision a twinkle of amusement in his eyes — what this Army of ours wants our young men to have as education. Why — his voice rose, but distinctly in mock indignation — they actually want our 1 boys to have a big, broad, sound foundation in English! And think of this — they want them to have more geography than most colleges offer! And his- tory! And foreign language! Just imagine! Of course they want sound math, science, too. He hesitated a minute. Then he said: The Army is good for colleges. It shakes them up — culturally! He knew that was what I had in mind from the start — that the cry for science and needs of war would not break up simple foundations of cultural education; that needs for science can only be car- ried to their greatest extent when culture is included in the foundation. A lot of editorials have come out of that three or four minute telephone conversation. The tenacity with which Pierce Cline kept after things worthwhile was never better illustrated to me than during the long period of negotiations and stale- mate involving the now existing consolidation of Centenary and Dodd Colleges. Many who simply see the actual consolidation may not realize that the events leading to it covered several years and that these events are divided into two periods — one period of negotations which failed and a second which succeeded. Back in the 1930 ' s I went to Doctor Cline ' s office one day to talk with him about the private negotia- tions which I knew were going on to bring Cen- tenary and Dodd together as one great Shreveport educational institution. I was not seeking news, but merely a background of information and understand- ing which would enable me to be ready when the time did come for publication. I knew that Doctor Cline was pledged to silence concerning the names of certain persons involved — and so was I. Neither in that discussion nor in many that followed did either of us mention the name of the anonymous benefactor who first offered $50,000 in cash and then obligated himself to about double that sum to further higher education in the Shreveport area-- yet each of us knew that the other was fully in- formed. What we talked about chiefly was the great benefit that would come to education itself in this area through such a merger — of the great need for it. Here again that earthly trinity of Pierce Cline ' s was predominant — school, church and community — although it was not at this time given a name. Dr. George S.

Looking To the Future I don ' t think that Pierce Cline ever had any great hope that this first period of negotiation concerning Cen- tenary and Dodd College would be successful. As I look back now, it seems very clear that he himself had viewed the negotiations then going on as foundation for future action rather than as holding any possibility of immediate culmination. There wasn ' t a bit of disap- pointment in his voice or in his manner when he told me one day: The man we ' ve both been thinking about tells me that the $50,000 isn ' t burning holes in his pants and that he is setting a time limit on his offer — January 1. I can ' t blame him for that. January 1 was only a few weeks away. It came and passed — and the negotiations automatically ended. I Dr. Cline and guest speaker, Galloway Calhoun, lead the commencement procession ot 1940. Dr. Cline, Dean Hardin, and Dean Campbell award degrees to Members ot 1942 graduating class. It was a happy occasion for all when Mrs. John Shuttleworth re- asked Doctor Cline some time later if he thought the possibility of merger had been ended entirely. Certainly not, he said. It is too logical, too necessary to the colleges and to the community, to fail. Some way, some day — ' ■ I don ' t know when or how — the two colleges will be brought together as one. He was right. I never saw such a light in a man ' s eyes as the gleam that came from the eyes of Pierce Cline when he told me, some two years after the ending of the first period of negotiations, that everything was all right. There was another little incident-— which I hope won ' t be misunderstood. But it gives further insight into the man himself. A night or two before a football game between Cen- tenary and one of its arch rivals in athletics, someone — presumably Centenary students — visited the town of the opposing college and did quite a bit of painting on sidewalks and other places — painting of the college letter C as youthful and exuberant, though perhaps misguided, defiance to a college enemy. ceived the Doctor oi Humanities degree irom Dr. Cline. I see you ' ve started a new art course at Centenary, I said to Doctor Cline the next day. Give out a little now — what do you really think of this little episode?

It was shameful, impudent, insolent. Why they even went right up to the home of the presi- dent of our neighboring college with their paint brushes! (I ' d swear I could see a twinkle in his eye!) I don ' t know what is coming over the youth of today. Such rep- rehensible conduct! That ' s it — youth today simply is reprehensible! I have never been so ashamed in my life! He looked out the window — and then in a quiet voice and with no effort to conceal the twinkle in his eyes, he went on: Youth is — is — Reprehensible, you said, I interjected. Youth, he said firmly, is IRREPRESSIBLE! That ' s the word! y ± %,. 1 m My point is that Pierce Cline never forgot that he was a college president — or that he once was a college boy. My last two talks with Pierce Cline were by telephone. I called him one day to tell him about a Saturday Evening Post article. It told of the problems of professors in acade- mic and cultural branches of a great eastern college cramming themselves with science to take over wartime Navy technical classes. One professor of Greek found that every time he tried a navigation problem he started for the Alaska highway and wound up on the Road to Mandalay. Doctor Cline chuckled. Then he said: Those cultural fellows need some good sound science, just as earlier he had urged good sound culture as part of a scientific education. Army Air Forces officers arrived in March, 1943, to make their head quarters in the newly acquired Annie Haynes Hall on the former Dodd College campus, and were welcomed by Dr.. Cline. Education has to be well rounded, he went on. It ' s like a spinning globe. Try to settle down on one sector and you ' re thrown off into the abyss of ignorance. You have to keep going, treadmill fashion — yet always moving forward a little — and after you get all the way round you just keep on going around again. Doctor Cline liked to tell about the Cen- tenary boy who was an All-American foot- ball player and another who was a world wonder in the fields of science. How many here, he would ask an after- luncheon audience, ever heard of - - - -? (Giving the name of the famous athlete.) Usually every hand would go up and there would be shouts of He was All-American in football! How many, Doctor Cline would continue, ever heard of - - - - ? (Naming the boy from Centenary who made himself na- tionally famous, in a very short time, for scientific research.) Usually no hands went up. Dr. Arthur Compton, right, famed physicist, delivered the address when the new Science Building, Jackson Hall, was dedicated. Dr. Cline greets the commanding officer of a signal corps unit stationed on the campus during the 1941 army maneuvers. Put that in the paper some time, he said to me with a grin one day shortly before he died. I ' d like the business department to look it over and see which boy really did Centenary the most good in the long run! I ' m for college sports — but the boy who gets a letter also should get an education! Most Centenary athletes received both. A few days later he called me on the tele- phone. I ' m not very well, he said. Could you fill a speaking engagement for me at the Woman ' s Department Club if I find I can ' t make it? We chatted a little about the general course of the lectures he had been giving. We just have to keep talking about the world among ourselves and keep trying to understand things and to know about them, he said. Maybe we never will know much — but we have to keep trying.

I don ' t think I did very well. I kept looking out the big window and imagining I could see him there watching me. And when I should have been thinking of the world problems I was trying to discuss, I actually kept thinking to myself: What a fool any man is to try to fill his shoes!

Campbell, Dean of Women and Associate Profes- sor of English, is one of the truly prominent members of the faculty. In Dean Campbell the students have found a sym- pathetic and understanding person. By her interest in their individual happiness, welfare and success, she has won their respect and affection. John A. Hardin, A.B., A.M. Dean o the College Throughout his years of service as a member of the Centenary faculty, John A. Hardin has always embodied those qualities characteristic of a dean. As head of the mathematics depart- ment his association with the students has endeared him to all who come in contact with his quiet, magnetic personality. Born and reared in the South, Dean Hardin is the epitomy of a true southern gentleman. ADMINISTRATION W. G. Banks, A.B., A.M. Bursar Holding the responsible position of Bursar of the college as well as being Associate Professor of Mathematics, W. G. Banks has been a well-worked man this year. It has been his duty to aid Dean Hardin and Paul M. Brown, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, with the administrative affairs of the college. Under this double load Pro- fessor Banks has been forced to abandon his academic course, much to the dismay of the students who await his return to the class of the cone and triangle.

The idea of the Maroon Jackets was conceived by a stu- dent in 1931, and with the aid of Dean Campbell the or- ganization became a reality.

JACKETS Waiting tor a turn in the speedboat wore the traditional white skirts and maroon jackets which have changed only in style. This year marks the thirteenth anniversary of this honorary organization. Now, as then, there are three representatives from each sorority and the non-sorority group. These twelve girls, known as the of- ficial hostesses of the school, assist at regis- tration, usher in assembly and are on hand for all college activities. Maroon Jackets are selected from the junior and senior classes on the basis of scholar- ship, character, leadership, and appearance. Membership in the organization is an honor sought by every Centenary girl. Bids are is- sued by the members in the form of letters written in maroon ink on white paper, there- by carrying out the colors of the organiza- tion and the school. Social functions of the year have included a party on Cross Lake, given by Mr. Ray Wil- liams, and the annual luncheon given by the gracious sponsor, Mrs. Campbell.

Every year this show, composed of Cen- tenary talent, tours the northern portion of the state, but since the war their trips have been to the army camps within reasonable distance. Outstanding was the show given for the wounded soldiers at Harmon General Hospital in Texas — so outstanding that the cast received a return invitation. Among the participants in this year s pci- formances, the main find was the trio 01 Mary Hughes, Mary Martin, and Puddin ' Hughes, who sang an old fashioned medley of tunes. Sue Jackson, billed as a honey from Homer, contributed a great deal to the success of this show. Doc Morehead is the faculty sponsor of the Kapers. Forbes Morrow and James Smith cut up during their comeay aci. Every year the home-town audience selects Miss Kollege Kapers, and this year the title was given to Jean Elder, the popular and talented dancer with the show. Besides her cwn solos, Jean staged and directed a nov- elty dance number — the Kaperettes. Centenary ' s vocal ensemble accompanies Kollege Kapers each season and always meets great approval. This year the group, though smaller than usual, maintained its pop- ularity with armed services especially. Back row: Roberts, Wells, Babington, Hall, Armstrong, Reeks.

This body is composed of the executive officers, a representative from each class, and the advisors, Mrs. Campbell, Dean of Women, and Mrs. Cox, hostess of the dormitory. The council meets weekly in order to discuss their problems and business affairs. The purpose of the association is to promote good conduct and further the interests of its members, transact business pertaining to its members, and enact and enforce the laws for its government. It always endeavors to uphold the traditions and ideals of Centenary College. It is the ardent desire of the Council, the Hostess, and the Dean of Women that the girls of the dormitory shall so love their college home as to find it easy and pleasant to cooperate in making Colonial Hall a de- lightful place in which to live.

The long-hoped-for idea of a workable and successful honor system was discussed throughout the school year, the Senate urging the cooperation of the Student Body in this worthy venture. The Senate sponsored several dances and parties in an effort to maintain friendly spirit among the students. These affairs were all extremely successful and plans have been made for more in the future. This year an innovation was the constant use of faculty members as speakers to aid the Senate in formulating its plans and in gaining some idea of the faculty ' s consideration of this governing body. It was gratifying to note the interest shown on the parts of both the faculty and the students. Due to the loss of Roland Achee and Bob Eatman to the Navy, it was neces- sary for the school to hold a mid-year election for the offices of president and vice-president of the Student Body and Student Senate. The boys chosen to fill these offices were Pete Spitzkeit and Ike Muslow, and they capably ended the year.

Twice each month the Centenary students drop everything to read the Conglomerate, the college newspaper. Roland Achee, who had served the paper as editor one semester of last year, continued in this capacity until mid-semester of this year when he received his degree and entered navy midshipman school at Notre Dame. Madeleine Pilgreen, who has had considerable experience with the Shreveport Times, replaced Achee as editor. Features of each edition of the paper are Collegiate Clothesline, a clever fashion column written by the fashion editor, Marilyn Miller; Intramural Musings, Dick McGuirt ' s sports column; letters from John Koppo- polas, a mysterious character who works in his office on the sixth floor of the Arts Building and has thus far been able to keep his identity a secret; and various columns such as Conglomeration, Dig, Dig, Dig, and Here and There, which keep the student body posted on all the latest happenings.

INTRAMU The Intramural Council was formed last year to supervise an Intramural Program for the Centenary students, as all competitive sports were discontinued for the duration. The council consists of two boys and two girls from each class and one representative from each of the sororities and fraternities on the campus. Coach Schaal and Mrs. Davidson are the sponsors; however the actual supervision of the program was placed entirely in the hands of the students. Each class competes, as well as the individual students. Last year the first place winner was the sopho- more class, with a total of 389 points. Seniors came in second with a score of 335 points; juniors had 311 points and the frosh claimed 297 points. Suitable awards were given for individual competition also. The Intramural Program helps contribute to Centenary ' s aim of creating of every student a well-rounded individual ready to take his place in life by giving every student the chance to practice good sportsmanship and fairness in every game. Pictured on these two pages are some of the sports offered the men and women of Centenary through the Intramural Program. Horseback riding is offered under the direction of Mrs. Davidson and has proved quite popular, especially with the girls. Archery is perhaps the most graceful of all sports, though it too leaves I jfrns s l wir ■ ; ' W jrn s J« IPO-, RALS one with sore muscles until its art is mas- tered. During the spring weather it was pos- sible for the girls to practice their softball and volleyball outside, and the warm sun- shine was a temptation which lured some to the shuffleboard courts. The boys, under the guidance of Coach Schaal, for the most part have taken their exercises in the gym. All types of calisthen- ics as well as basketball and Victory laps were included in the program. Jnlss Centenary - - Jxithi] Sneea Jnlss Jnartka Stevens LEADERSHIP A new feature of the Yoncopin, inaugurated this year, is the presentation of the winners of the Centenary College Leadership Award. Nominations are made by the students in assembly and the winners are selected by a group of faculty members from the list of nominees. To qualify a student must be a leader in extra-curricular activities, depart- mental organizations and in scholarship. Roland Achee Harriet Lieber The Centenary College Leadership award was established by the Reverend John C. Glenn in honor of his son James, in 1938.- The purpose of the award is to encourage the development of those qualities of leader- ship that are most highly prized by the com- munity. Since Reverend Glenn ' s departure from Shreveport, a prominent Centenary alumnus has given the cash award which is presented to the winners at the annual Honor Chapel in May.

Officers President Harrell Larry Vice-President David Freeman Secretary-Treasurer Jack Reeks The Kappa Sigma fraternity was founded December 10, 1869, at the University of Virginia by William G. McCormick, John C. Boyd, Edmund L. Rogers, Frank C. Nicodemus, and George M. Arnold. Of the initiates at Virginia during the session of 1872-73, the most important in the later history of the fraternity was Stephen A. Jackson, who embodied in the Kappa Sigma ritual the European tradition, which takes the fraternity back in spirit to the University of Bologna in the year 1400 and the founding there of a society of students for mutual protection against the governor of the city, Balthasar Cassa. The society spread to other European universities, and its traditions descended through many of the noble families of the continent to make connection with one of the early members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity who was visiting in Europe. Although Kappa Sigma now has 112 active chapters in over half of the prominent colleges and universities of the United States and Canada, Epsilon Chapter, fifth in the Greek alphabet, was established as Cen- tenary ' s first fraternity on the old campus at Jackson, Louisiana, on August 29, 1885. The charter was sur- rendered in 1904. So outstanding, however, was this chapter that for 54 years the executive committee of the fraternity refused to grant the name of Epsilon to any other institution with the hope that some day Cen- tenary would reach a point in its expansion that would justify the re-installation of this chapter. This oc- curred on the anniversary of its first installation, August 29, 1939, when Sigma Phi fraternity on the campus was granted a charter reviving the Epsilon chapter of Kappa Sigma. Epsilon has been seriously handicapped this year by the loss of members to the armed forces and by the loss of its house, which during the present housing conditions was irreplacable. In spite of the handicaps, Kappa Sigma, starting the year with only three members, succeeded in pledging 19 men with more at the mid-semester. Of these there are only 12 boys left. However, Epsilon is looking forward to a great future after its duty to its country is fulfilled. EPSILON CHAPTER KAPPA ALPHA Seventh inning stretch! Members Roy J.

Mitchell, R. Pugh, J. Robbins, C. J. Stamper, J. Stephens, B. Sullivan, J. Walters, E. Woodley, J. Youngblood, S. Lunn, H. Marks, and C. Jones. Helping to keep the sea lanes open are R. Achee, T. Bush, J. Comegys, R. Eatman, W. Fulton, T. Giddens, S. Grayson, R. Henderson, D. Little, J. Madden, J. Turner, R. J. Abney, R. Jarrott, R. Sulli- van, and W. Bowden. K. Medlock and R. Walker represent the chapter in the marine corps. Again this year the Kappa Alphas received an impressive number of individual honors. Roland Achee was chosen president of the student body and of Alpha Chi and was the editor of the Conglomerate and emcee of Kollege Kapers. Bob Eatman served as vice-president of the student body and James Lee West as treasurer. Vice-president of Alpha Sigma Pi was A. L. Wedgeworth. Browning Morris was president of the Pre-Law Club and the Commerce Club. Stuart Lunn and Glen Graves served the Pre-Law Club as vice-president and treasurer. In the junior class election Horace Alvord and James Lee West were elected president and treasurer. A. L. Wedgeworth and Furman Eubanks received the offices of president and treasurer in the sophomore class and Roy Joe Abney and Bob Corser achieved the same among the frosh. In November of 1943 the K. A. ' s once again successfully defended the interfraternity football championship held by Alpha Iota for ten successive years. This past year a precedent was established when admission was charged for the game. The entire receipts which were $80.00 went to the Community Chest. The record for 1943 and 1944 is one of which all Kappa Alphas are proud. Neither the drastic changes wrought by World War II nor the increasing competition among social fraternities was able to dim the glory of old K. A.

Herlong Secretary Marshall Kesling Treasurer William F. Roberts Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity has 1 1 1 chapters in the United States, Canada and South America. There are two chapters in Canada and two in Brazil. Although comparatively young, being organized in 1909, Lambda Chi Alpha has the national rating of being the fastest expanding organization in the fraternal world. Theta Rho Zeta was reorganized on Centenary campus, February, 1941, with the initiation of five boys, which took place at Theta Psi of Ruston Tech. The president of Theta Rho Zeta, Frank McAneny, is a member of the Art Club, the Spanish Club, and is president of the Geological Society. He also represents Lambda Chi Alpha in the Student Senate and on Ihe Inter-Fraternity Council. Frank ' s capable leadership has helped to put Theta Rho Zeta on a more sound foot- ing, with good prospects of survival through the duration of the war. Marshall Kesling, who is secretary of Theta Rho Zeta, is a member of Alpha Sigma Chi, Sigma Pi Sigma, Inter-Fraternity Council, and the Student Senate. He serves as treasurer of Alpha Chi. Lambda Chi is proud to number Bill Roberts among its recent initiates. Bill served with the Marine Corps through the Guadal- canal and Solomon Island campaigns. He has been elected to fill the office of treasurer of Theta Rho Zeta. Social functions during the past year have been numerous. Very enjoyable among these was the afternoon party at which Governor Sam Jones and Mrs. Jones were entertained. The Fall rushing began with a bar- becue at Cross Lake. Pledging was successful but many were called by Uncle Sam before they could be initiated. Lieutenant Roy Hayes and Tubby Rogers of the Theta Psi chapter at Tech have given Rho Zeta their ut- most assistance during the past year. Another to whom Lambda Chi gives thanks is Alumnus Advisor and past High Pi William G. Phelps. THETA RHO ZETA CHAPTER Members Jean Arthur Mary E.

Regular afternoons are spent at bandage rolling for the Red Cross, and some of the girls are engaged in Nurses ' Aide work cr in serving the O.C.D. or U.S.O. in various ways. Not so much time has been spent on social functions as in former years. There have been several open houses given for the Army Air Corps Cadets stationed on both campuses, and a formal dance at Ihe Christmas season helped to boost morale. Along with these war activities, the Zetas continued to fill their place in campus activities. At the be- ginning of the year thirteen new pledges graced the roster, and at mid-semester five more were added. The neophytes soon had a share in campus honors when Helen Gillespie was elected vice-president cf the French Club and Intramural Representative. The chapter claimed two class officers in Virginia Graham, vice-president of the senior class, and Lu- cille Webb, secretary of the junior class. Prexy Camille Hendrick ably held the position of secretary cf the Student Body and Senate. Camille was quite a campus notable, being selected for Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, and as a member of Maroon Jackets and CenCoe. Other presidential offices held by the Zetas were Chi Sigma Nu, Norma Stewart, who was also secretary of the Maroon Jackets; CenCoe, Gene Hearn; and Dormitory Council, Eleanor Jenkins. Beta Iota is proud of Jean Elder, star dancer of Kollege Kapers, who was selected as Miss Kollege Kapers. Scholastically, the girls of the white house on the hill were well represented in honorary organiza- tion. Harriet Fowler, Helen Gillespie, June Hetherwick, and Katherine Turner were in Alpha Sigma Pi, and Martha Peyton served as co-ed vice-president of that organization. Secretary of Alpha Chi was Gene Hearn. In Chi Sigma Nu were Eleanor Jenkins and Dorothy Viosca. Pi Mu Sigma and Alpha Sigma Chi claimed a member in Loyce Crawford. Thus maintaining her place in war activities and in campus life, Zeta Tau Alpha is hoping for the peace that will return the well-rounded college life of former days. And a goodly crowd was there.

Today Chi Omega boasts more chapters, 96, than any other college sorority, more chapter-owned houses than any other group, and a national membership of 35,000. Iota Gamma chapter of Chi Omega began its sixteenth year on the Centenary campus by pledging twenty-one neophytes, topping the number pledged by the other groups. Talented Mary Hughes, a Tulsa belle, was president of the pledge group. Kollege Kapers tryouts were held and Crystal Walker, Jeannette , Reynolds, Mary Hughes, Puddin ' Hughes, Gloria Dierlam, Norman Robertson, Eva Nell Hampton, and Mary Ellen Petree were chosen to appear. I When class elections were held the girls of the X and the Horseshoe took both offices offered to women in the sophomore class, both offices in the freshman class, and one each in the junior and senior classes. Betty Blaxton, who will serve the sorority as president next year, held the most coveted office on the campus, co-ed vice-presidency of the student body. For the third consecutive year the Chi Omegas led the campus scholastically, having a chapter average of B. Chi Omegas were outstanding in publications work this year. Madeleine Pilgreen and Carolyn Clay, who write collegiate columns and news for the two daily newspapers, led the staff of the Conglomerate as editor and business manager. Madeleine also served as a member of the Mademoiselle magazine College Board. A large number of class offices were held by Chi Omegas this year. Tiddle Bettis was president of the Spanish Club with Marilyn Miller as vice-president. Norman Robertson held the presidency of the Art Club and was vice-president of Pan-Hellenic; Jeanne Maynard, vice-president of Chi Sigma Nu and secretary of CenCoe; Emile Ann Connell, secretary of the Art Club and treasurer of the Maroon Jackets; and Elizabeth Ann Hudson, president of Alpha Sigma Pi. Two Chi O ' s, Betty Blaxton and Carolyn Clay, both juniors, represented the college in the 1944 edition of ' Who ' s Who Among Students in Amer- ican Colleges and Universities. Betty B. and Norman Robertson served as vice-president and secre- tary of the Intramural Council. War activities were not neglected. Motor corps, Nurses ' Aide, and Red Cross uniforms were noticed at meetings and the chapter ' s collection of war bonds grew during the year. Some o the gang at the Chi O. house.

One of the most outstanding events of the year was the election of Jean Gibson as president of the senior class — the first time a girl has ever held this position since the college ' s founding. Jean has proven her abilities in the past as president of the Dormitory Council and Pan-Hellenic Council. She has served two years as a member of the Student Senate, as secretary and vice-president of the Maroon Jackets, and is also a member of CenCoe and Chi Sigma Nu. Wielding a mighty gavel this year over the girls who wore the golden quill was sweet and demure Sydney Skinner. This outstanding senior is a member of Maroon Jackets, Pan-Hellenic, Student Senate, Chi Sigma Nu and is listed in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. The prominent beauty of the Alpha Xi ' s is Martha Hart, who has appeared in the beauty section of the Yoncopin since her freshman year. Martha has brains as well as beauty and is also listed in the Who ' s Who Among Students. Treasurer of this sorority as well as of the senior class is Billye Love- laddy, a pre-medical student who also is vice-president of the Dormitory Council. Aside from their many college activities these girls found time to aid the Red Cross by rolling ban- dages, serving as nurses ' aides and working in the canteens. They also entertained the soldiers at the U. S. O. and served tea and cookies to the wounded af the Barksdale Hospital. Realizing the need of entertainment for the Aviation Students at Centenary, the little Brown House was opened nearly every Sunday afternoon for the cadets. Special entertainment was held for the boys at Thanksgiving and Christmas. In this way the girls hope, in some small way, to relieve the homesickness the boys so keenly feel. Climaxing their year ' s activities was the visit of Mrs. Harold Bates, National Vice-President of Alpha Xi Delta, who attended the annual Birthday Banquet at which the officers for the following year were installed. How lovely! — Why, it ' s exquisite!! Won ' t you come into my parlour? PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL The Pan-Hellenic Council has met with amazing success upon carrying out the Rushing Rules drafted in March, 1941. Due to the necessity of group and individual purchases of war bonds and the scarcity of adequate transportation, the council deemed it necessary to cancel Summer Rushing for the duration. Though this proved to be a definite hardship, the Council was justly proud of the fact that none of the rules were broken. Serving in its usual capacity of promoting good-will among the Greek-letter social groups, the Council met frequently during the summer and early fall in preparation for the Annual Pan-Hellenic Tea, held in September, at which the Rushees are introduced to sorority members. Featured this year was a style show, presenting fall fashions for campus and evening wear. Plans for next fall are already under way, and the Pan-Hellenic Council hopes to have as much success in succeeding years as it has enjoyed in 1943-44.

The fifth successful year of Aufait began with 1944. This club, composed of Centenary girls who are not affiliated with a Greek letter organization on the campus, meets once a week in the Student Union Building. Although its number of members is small, the girls of Aufait took pride in doing their part in collecting money for the March of Dimes in the local theaters this year. The non-sorority girls were well represented in the field of intramurals this year, at the moment adding a number of victories to their score. Aufait can hold its own when it comes to campus activities. President June Franks, a Spanish major, was president of the Maroon Jackets, vice-president of the Spanish Club, secretary of Chi Sigma Nu, a member of the Student Senate and a member of the college choir. Vice-president Betty Jane Autrey, majoring in commerce, was secretary-treasurer of the Commerce Club and a member of the Spanish Club. Secretary Harr iet Lieber, a major in French, is editor of the Yoncopin, member of the Student Senate, French Club, Spanish Club, Maroon Jackets, and was selected to represent Centenary in Who ' s Who Among Stu- dents in American Colleges and Universities. Elizabeth Houston held the responsible post of treasurer for Aufait and even though working on a history thesis and also in a local hospital found time to be a member of the Student Senate and the Maroon Jackets. This year new pins were ordered, after much debating since last year, but will not be delivered until in the fall. Sponsors for Aufait are Mrs. A. R. Campbell and Mrs. Bryant Davidson.

Wray Treasurer Marshall Kesling The Louisiana Alpha Chapter of Alpha Chi was installed at Centenary in 1925. The organization is composed of junior and senior undergraduates who excel scholastically. The society meets only occasionally and then usually for the initiation of new members. Alpha Chi has for its sponsor Dr. E. L. Ford. As usual the membership at the beginning of the fall term was small, but upon tabulation of the mid-semes- ter grades it was found that nine students had become eligible for membership, bringing this year ' s total membership to the number of sixteen. This year Alpha Chi has lost several of its members to the armed forces, among them being the president, Roland Achee. Activities of Alpha Chi as a group we re limited this year, though, as usual, the organization conducted its annual assembly program and presented an engraved leather notebook to the freshman selected by Alpha Chi members as being the most deserving and outstanding of the year. Since its installation at Centenary, Alpha Chi has stood as a goal for the upperclassmen in their pursuit of knowledge and as an incentive to the underclassmen to maintain a high scholastic average throughout their college career.

The object of the fraternity is the stimula- tion, development, and recognition of scholarship, leadership and character. The requisites for membership, which lasts through the sophomore year, are that the candidate be in the freshman class and that he have a 39 point scholastic average. This year 24 members achieved the standards set by this honorary organization. They were initiated and presented with the blue and gold crescent pins which they proudly displayed throughout the rest of the year. Last year Alpha Sigma Pi discontinued all social activities for the duration of the war, however, the fraternity joined with the other honorary organizations on the campus to present the annual Honor Chapel at which members initiated during the year are introduced. Alpha Sigma Pi is a goal for which every freshman strives and thereby learns to appreciate the merits of scholarship and wisdom.

ALPHA SIGMA CHI To be eligible for membership in Alpha Sigma Chi a student must show a genuine interest in chemistry, have a general C-plus average, and a C-plus average in at least one advanced chemistry course. Having complied with these requirements and having received the unanimous vote of the members, the aspirant may lcok forward to an initiation designed to test his physical and mental endurance. Upon successful completion of these tests, the neophyte is admitted into the fellowship of others who seek to delve further into the won- ders of chemistry and to enjoy the companionship of kindred minds. Several very nice meetings were held this year at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Entrikin. At one of the most interesting gatherings, several former members gave informative talks on their present work, which is generally related to the war effort. Only at the end of the war will be realized the enormous strides made in chemistry, the importance of which has greatly increased during the present crisis. This organization is proud to have so many former members working to make valuable contributions to their country ' s needs. After the former president, Bryant Harwell, was called into the service, Ike Muslow was elected to complete the remainder of the year as the executive officer. The Science News Letter, in which the sponsors of Alpha Sigma Chi, Drs. Entrikin and Thayer, are vitally interested, enables the club ' s activities to keep in contact with former members and what they are doing. It keeps the alumni informed of the work the club is still carrying on as it looks forward to bigger and better things for chemistry. Officers President . . . Ike Muslow Vice-Pres.

Officers President Louis Smith Vice-President Gordon Wilkinson Secretary Katy Oxford Sigma Pi Sigma, the national physics society, has chapters in many of the colleges and universities of recognized standing. It was founded as a local honor organization at Davidson College in 1921 by nine physics students and faculty members who sensed a need for an organization which would bring those persons particularly interested in this science into closer association for their mutual benefit. That local society proved so successful that a movement for nationalization was launched in 1925. Today the organization of Sigma Pi Sigma numbers 36 chapters and more than 2,000 members. Due to its expansion and achievement Sigma Pi Sigma was recognized by the American Society for Advance- ment of Science as one of its members in the Physics Division. Delta chapter at Centenary was the fourth national chapter founded, and continued successfully for several years, after which it became inactive. In 1941, under the spirited leadership of Dr. F. E. Lowance, then head of the Physics Department and an alumnus of the society, the chapter was re- organized. Sigma Pi Sigma receives into its membership those who attain its high standards of scholarship, pro- fessional merit and academic distinction. During the past year, Dr. C. D. Keen has joined the faculty and heads the Physics Department, having as his assistant Dr. Roscoe St inetorf. Under their capable guidance the prospects for an active and constructive year to come appear to be excellent. SIGMA PI SIGMA First row: Crawford, Gray, Loveladdy, Ot- talini. Second row: Prindle, Wedgeworth, West. Pi Mu Sigma, founded in September, 1925, is one of the oldest honorary organizations on Centenary ' s campus. Its purpose has been the promotion of interest and development of science in the fields of medicine. All pro- grams and projects are planned with this goal in mind. In the spring of last year, Pi Mu Sigma had charge of a campaign on the campus to obtain blood donors for the plasma bank. This is only one example of the many interesting activities of an organization which was founded to help satisfy the desire to be more widely informed about current topics of medicine and to enjoy the fel lowship of others whose first love is medicine. The eligibility of a student for membership is determined by his evident and sincere desire to follow a career in the several fields of medicine. Also necessary is a high scholastic average and the unanimous approval of the members. Upon satisfying those requirements and after presentation of a fifteen hundred word paper on some phase of medicine, the candidate becomes a member. Pi Mu Sigma is honored to have on its roll many who are now serving as doctors in the armed forces. At one meeting this year a former mem- ber told of his experiences as a flight surgeon. Medicine has made great strides in this war and one aim of this organization is to keep up with new trends on various battle fronts. In return for their enlightening infor- mation about medicine in use, the club keeps the alumni informed of happenings at Centenary through the Science News Letter, a combined publication of the Science department. During these times when interest and stability are endangered, Pi Mu Sigma has more than ever appreciated the guidance of its loyal and de- voted sponsor, Dr. Mary Warters. It is to her that the members wish to dedicate this page in acknowledgement of their gratitude for her faith- fulness and to express their sincere admiration. Dr. Mary Warters P I M U SIGMA CHI SIGMA NU This year marks the seventh anniversary of the founding of Chi Sigma Nu on the Centenary campus. The organization was started in 1937 by five future teachers who wished to further their educational aims. The pur- pose of this fraternity is to promote high standards of scholarship among students of education who con- template teaching as a profession and to foster an inter est in contemporary educational problems. To qualify for membership, one must be above sophomore standing, be interested in teaching and maintain a B average in college. The candidate for membership must also pass the unanimous vote of the chapter before a bid can be extended. As the number of members is limited, those wearing the gold key of Chi Sigma Nu are justly proud. , Monthly meetings are held in the homes of members, and speakers are outstanding educators of the city and state who usually discuss the classroom problems of the prospective teachers as well as the latest trends in education. The fraternity is ably supervised by Dr. A. J. Middlebrooks, assisted by the staff of the Cen- tenary Demonstration School.

E. White to elect new officers for the year. After electing Tiddle Bettis, president, June Franks, vice-president, and Marilyn Miller, secretary -treasurer, the members decided to hold meetings the second Wednesday of each month. At these gatherings, conducted in Spanish, there is also a program pertaining to Spain or Spanish-speaking countries. Before Christmas the members and sponsor of this romance language group had a fiesta supper which featured Mexican food. At midterm the surprise of the year came to the campus in the form of Isabel Guzman, a charming senorita from Mexico City. Miss Guzman is the first student to attend Centenary under arrangement with the Ameri- can Foundation School of Mexico, whereby a scholarship is given to an outstanding student of this school by Centenary each year. The scholarship is given in order to establish closer contact with Mexico and to bring the Centenary students first-hand information about Mexico. H. L. Cain, superintendent of the School, is a grad- uate of Centenary and it was through his cooperation that Miss Guzman was selected to represent Mexico. Each Friday afternoon the Spanish conversationalists gather to improve their accents with the aid of Miss Guzman. The Mexican senorita also has taught dances and songs of her native country to some of the students. These girls performed for the Pan-American assembly program which was given April 12, 1944, and climaxed another successful year for this group. SPANISH CLUB FRENCH CLUB Under the inspirational leadership of Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Ford, Centenary ' s French Club has added one more year of activities to its record. This year, too, it was gratifying to note that there was a large amount of in- terest shown by the freshman members of this modern language organization. The purpose of the French Club is to furnish opportunities for the students to increase their knowledge of French through conversation. This is accomplished in the meetings, held once a month at the homes of the members, which are conducted entirely en francais from the business portion through the entertainment until the last bon soir is heard. Some of the members enjoyed corresponding with French cadets stationed in the United States. One of the most interesting programs given this year was the movies shown by Dr. Ford of his trips abroad. In December the club enjoyed a dinner party at Cross Lake. Climaxing the year ' s activities was a lovely May picnic. Members of this modern language group are required to maintain a C average in French. Initiations are held whenever necessary at the meetings and provide a constant source of amusement for all. This year Charlotte Dupuy served as president, assisted by Helen Gillespie, vice-president, and Mary Emma White, secretary-treasurer.

This organization, formed exclusively for the advancement of the pre-law students of Centenary, has twelve members at the present time. Under the capable direction of Dr. W. D. Overdyke, the Pre-Law Club seeks to acquaint law students with the foremost lawyers of Shreveport and with the great cases of the courts throughout the United States. The organization also offers an opportunity for association with students seeking a career in the same field. Founded on November 5, 1943, the club elected Browning Morris as president, Stuart Lunn as vice-president, and Glen Graves as secretary. To become a member of this fraternity a three-fourths vote of the club is re- quired as well as a sincere interest in the study of law on the part of the neophyte. In order to prove its intention of working towards a greater appreciation and understanding of law, the first act of the club was to provide a written constitution. This serves to keep order and train the members in the parliamentary procedure and penalty for carrying out business in places of formal enterprise. Special pro- grams and study sessions will be held for the further aid of the members in becoming better law students and, in the future, better lawyers and citizens of the community. Centenary is proud of this new club, which will doubtless prove itself beneficial to the members and to the college as a whole.

Its purpose has been to bring to the student of commerce or economics some practical applications of the principles he is studying in the classroom. Leaders of business and industry in the Shreveport area have contributed much to the program of the organi- zation by giving of their time and facilities. Each year the program committee selects some particular phase of business activity in which the members are interested and devotes the several programs to a study of the selected business activities. This year ' s programs have been devoted to the oil industry, brokerage, and finance. Mr. John F. Adams of the Creole Petroleum Co. of Venezuela spoke on Opportunities Offered by the Oil Industry in Latin Amer- ica. Mr. Paul Clay of the Advertising Department of the Arkansas Natural Companies presented an in- teresting program on the oil industry which featured a sound film entitled Oil in War.

The Ministerial Club is composed of members who have set as their goal in life these words of their Master. This organization has spread its Christian influence over the Centenary campus for twenty-three years, having been founded in 1921 by Dr. George Sexton. The Minis- terial Club has been fortunate in having as their sponsors since organization Dean and Mrs. R. E. Smith. This year the club has been under the capable leadership of Webb Pomeroy, recently called into Chaplain ' s service in the U. S. Navy, and vice-president Pete Spitzkeit. The entire plan of work for 1943-44 was. termed a building program. It is the object of the Ministerial Club to promote religious activities on the campus and in the dormitories. The first step toward this goal was, for the first time in the club ' s history, to include girls as members rather than as an honorary part of the organization. This year as in years previous, several of the members served as pastors for rural communities and as leaders for the religious assemblies.

One item in the program of work of the association is the development of plans for club work leading to personal growth and a professional spirit in home econom- ics students. Cenhomec, the home economics club, was organized and directed to provide an opportunity for personal development of the members, for service to the school and community, and for participation in improving home and family living. Programs at the regular meetings of the club offer members the possibilities of gain- ing a broader conception of the field of home economics and the professional opportunities offered graduates. The club plans a program of experiences which will develop teamwork and promote friendship among its members, which will provide an opportunity for members to carry responsibility and will thereby help to develop good leadership and intelligent fellowship; it will also encourage creative art. These plans urge each member to contribute toward the happiness and well being of the persons in her home and community. The club programs help members to know themselves better in relation to their own group, work, and play needs. Cenhomec cooperates with the other local clubs and with state and national groups. Sarah Winegeart is vice-president of the Louisiana State College Association, and on November 13, 1943, she attended the state- wide meeting held at Louisiana College in Pineville, Louisiana.

CENCOE CLUB Officers President Gene Hearn Vice-President Sidney Skinner Secretary -Treasurer Jeanne Maynard The CenCoe Club was organized in February, 1937, at Centenary College. It is an inter-sorority organization composed of ten girls from each of the three sororities on the campus. Membership, heretofore limited to town girls, is now open also to those from out of town when there is need to fill the quota of ten girls from each sorority. Members must be upperclassmen, preferably juniors and seniors, with officers chosen from the three sororities in rotation. The purpose of CenCoe is to create more friendly understanding and cooperation among the girls ' Greek letter groups. Meetings are held once a month and constitute friendly get togethers necessary to this understanding. Social activities of the CenCoes have been curtailed because of the present conditions, so this year ' s func- tions were limited to a luncheon in February and the traditional Retiring President ' s Luncheon in May. At the end of the school year it has been the custom of the CenCoe Club to present a trophy to the most outstanding senior member of the organization. Selection is based upon cooperation with and loyalty to her sorority, to CenCoe, to the faculty, and to her Alma Mater. Arthur, Blaxton, Brown, Canon, Clay, Connell . . .

Its purpose was to set aside a designated hour when the students might sketch and work seriously, profiting by the constructive criticism of their fellows. Due to the stress of the times, the program has been held to a more serious theme, time devoted to creative work. To be sure, social activities are not lacking, for there is always present at the meetings a congenial group whose fun and friendship ultimately results in a natural fellowship. During the gatherings each student endeavors to make some worthwhile contribution along artistic lines. A sincere interest in creative work is the only requirement for membership in this organization. The group holds that such an interest must be present if any contribution can be made. The studio is open to members every afternoon, and regular meet- ings are held on Wednesday afternoons. ART CLUB PORTRAITS BY MILBURNE MILBURNES STUDIO PHONE 6678 MEZZ. G1DDENS-LANE 8LDG.
