Anntuprsarg. tl|p SJ I gS i f tt:3siS52 Ye EARBOOK-TIME is time for looking back and time for remembering. With this edition of the Yoncopin may the students and the faculty of Centenary look back over the school year — and more than that — review the years since 1825 when the college was founded. May you look back over these 125 years and then in the knowl- edge of that v hich has gone before look forward to the years ahead. •A -- i««V m iif ' -t- , _ ' ■ l V J ' . ' rfM ej fcmmcf pf z ?

Then, as now, a large part of college was classes. Tests, papers, themes, labs and the tangible evidences of an education. And the college is faculty . . . old and young professors who challenge and inspire and pass on to their students an intangible something that warms the heart and gives meaning to all the rest. The college is faculty, students and lessons to learn . . . lessons from books and from the hearts and minds of others. t a jrhti ■ CT ' w . ' TP  i. r -;.. .,. -|, fmnmemm KMMM iMM. FEHtHEL . . . Then, as now, academic obligations were highlighted by popular lectures, debates and entertainments. In 1825 dancing was accompanied by the swish of full skirts and the dashing flair of cutaway coats. Southern belles were as pop- ular then as the Centenary co-ed of 1950 is popular with the Centenary Gentleman of today. Through the years these things make of higher education an investment in time, talent and thought that returns ten fold and more after the experience has past. tM Arv ::?::?, y«e i 2:r5 .:!3t:i? t5s?« a  £i vss 4 «• -rMi ' ««. v -J-rT ' i ---!  -tk . ICTUITIES.. . . . Then, as now, activities offered spice to the experience of going to Centenary. In 1825 debating societies flourished, secret societies were frowned upon, field trips were events of great importance and hazing of new students flourished with ingenuity and daring. Now the college student has an opportunity to participate in a host of extra-curricular activities; trips, conventions and travel are accepted aspects of schooling and the campus is the scene of visits, clinics and conferences. Through the years, activities have offered experi- ences which lead to vocational, emotional and social maturitv. A Prt-Voc Typical scenes on our I25tb year of greater service — The clinics based on various voca- tional and avocational fields, honor assemblies and more than that, hours to spend in the Sub . . . all a part of col- lege and a very important part. UIIZilTIOM.. . . . In 1825 social organizations such as the modern social fra- ternity were frowned upon, but societies and groups founded on interest in academic subjects were fostered and encouraged. Today the social groups on Centenary ' s campus contribute to campus life in many ways. Then, as now, the experience of group rela- tions and the fine art of getting along with others merited recog- nition as a part of the educational experience.  ij««« iA.js«ia23 ' ' 11 The passage of yeat fc t ings with it a gradual betterment of conditions and eventsT mie J gress of Centenary may be meas- ured in terms of mortai ? sS rid the change in its physical facilities. However, it is tH yan ffeat that is made in areas of the mind and heart and spirfP hl Ll index of the college and the men and women who a jrt ' s llege. For a meas- urement of this progress one mu g to ' XS- ho take what they can from the educative pr id gifi S uman- ity through their ability to serve humaig fef rui This is the pulsebeat, the measure of tf ext S fe - ■ —  tfity- I H HlHk, . The two main ingredients of schooling have always been the teacher and the student. The main difference in the two is in perspective — the view of the teacher who looks on the educa- tive process with understanding and the view of the studen ' who looks up in the hope of some day understanding. Nineteen hundred fifty marks the end of the first half of our century — a half century of strife and turmoil written in blood and sweat and tears. But the past fifty years also have been years of solid accomplishment; so that together with the problems and sinister forces which the new half century finds deposited upon its doorstep, we find rich spiritual, intellectual and material re- sources. Nineteen hundred fifty also marks the 125th anniversary of Centenary College. Let us look for- ward to the next 125 years, determined to supplement and strengthen the constructive forces at work in our world. As we look ahead, we share with Thomas Wolfe faith in America ' s future and wish to record Centenary ' s hope for a worthy part in a ... . dream to be accomplished. I think the true discovery of America is before us. I think the true fulfillment of our spirit, of our people, of our mightly and immortal land, is yet to come. I think the true discovery of our own democracy is still before us. And I think that all these things are certain as morning, as in- evitable as noon. I think I speak for most men living when I say that our America is Here, is Nov , and beckons on before us, and that this glorious assurance is not only our living hope, but our dream to be accomplished.

This is true if his name is one among many on the ballot sheet or if his name is only to be checked on the list of the voting public. The power of the voice of the people is expressed through the ballot whether for beauties or student leaders of note. ijcs aot titiKrtv d: i tJB -3iiie:j )tr i % rsiir vc:t ' ::v3Sfyx Vir ' § ' B.!? £ 2 ?!! -, ii 0 si ' • Kathryn Deboben Miss Centenary Miss Joyce Hardin • Miss Marie Andrews Yoncopin Beauties . . .

Such recognition and honor is given those students deserving of merit by mem- bership in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. L. T Baker Marjorie Bogue WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN Marilyn Callahan Tommy Ellis Lenny Fant Betty Flournoy A high standard of achievement in scholar- ship, leadership and character and potential- ities for future success in society are the key words for selection as members of Who ' s Who. Early in the fall, alumni of Centenary recognized as members of Who ' s Who while students at the college, return- ed to the campus to have a part in present- ing the students honored in 1949-50. COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES John Paylor Robert Reagan ICTHITIES..  « f Going to college is a special experience for each student. It means classes, lyceums and lectures we have heard; it means basketball games, committees and meetings we have attended. It means experi- ences such as these and a host of intangible experiences that vitalize, strengthen and enrich the everyday events of going to college. These are the things we cherish and remember. - -.- i .-. ' r ' -r V r-;- ' ■. T 1 M  — ■« «-r lH« H .

THE 1950 YONCOPIN STAFF With a weak smile and a sigh of relief we of the 1950 Yoncopin staff turn over to you the students this 125th anniversary edition of the Yoncopin. Beginning in early summer and continuing until the appearances of spring, work has con- tinued despite studies, rainy days and a shortness of time in the schedule of staff members. This 125th anniversary of the college marks a year of greater service; we feel that we have contributed to that service if this book is received with en- thusiasm comparable to that spirit with which it was planned and created. Jean Bentlev, Editor Left to Right — Jo Chisholm, Meyer Schwartz, Katheriue Turner, and Don Barnes. Robert Ed Taylor, Harold Willis, Jane Ming, Sue McCnllongh, and Pat Riggs. Odelle Aulds, Business Manager Bill Lynch, Odelle Aulds, T. C. Smith and Patsy Laird. Publishing a yearbook calls for staff members and cooperation and the expenditure of time on an or- ganized schedule. Publishing a yearbook calls for de- tail work and ideas. Publishing a yearbook can be grat- ifying and discoviraging, but most of all it is satisfying to see the ideas, the time, the staff create something tangible and real — the finished product.

With Doug Mooty showing the way the Shreveporters took Stephen F. Austin into camp at Nacogdoches, Texas, 53-50. The following week the same two teams played in the home gymnasium and found Dean Veatch pouring 25 points through the hoop to lead the Centenary Gents to a 60-47 victory. Conference play was opened with Springhill College playing here. Joey Johnson supplied the spark that saw The Gents top the Badgers 59-35. Ray Pidge Joey Johnson Action at the Hardin-Simmons game Basketball thrills with S. M. U. and Centenary in the spotlight A series of non-conference tilts followed with the Gentlemen winning from Phillips University 60-41, and Hardin-Simmons 62-54. The Christmas holidays found the Centenarians at the Enid Invitational Tour- nament and saw the locals capture one while losing two. They were able to beat S. L. I. 66-52, while falling before Northwestern 69-66 and Washburn College 67-57. During the tournament Dean Veatch broke two scor- ing records. He had an individual game mark of 29 points and a total of 70 points for the three game tourney. The conference grind got under way again and the Gentlemen took Loyola into camp 51-39. Timmons led the scorers with 14 markers. S. L. I. knocked the lads for a loop with a 47-42 upset win at Lafayette. Arch rival Tech journeyed over and returned on the short end of a 62-41 score. Norman Renfro Doug Mooty Harold Mooty More action at the Northwestern game The swing into Alabama and Mississippi proved fatal to our dreams of a conference championship. Johnson ' s 21 markers could not avert a 55-48 defeat at the hands of Springhill and the following night saw the Southerners of Hattiesburg freeze the locals 43-39. Continuing the road swing Southeastern took care of us 64-61. Stopping off in Pineville en route to Shreveport the Maroon and White floored the Louisiana College Baptists 86-40. Veatch meshed 21 counters. Revenge was sweet as Buss ' s Busters laid the South- easterners low 68-52. Johnson was high with 21. Loyola was the victim of a hot night for both Johnson and Veatch as they hit 25 and 23 points, respectively. The final was Centenary 65, Loyola 48. The Wildcats from Louisiana College returned their game here and were tamed to the tune of 80-40. Dean Veatch was right and tied his previous one-game total with 29 points. The injury jinx caught us and saw Johnson, Veatch, and Harold Mooty watch their team lose to Texas Wesleyan 65-56. Lenny Fant took high point honors with 15. Jerome Bushyhead Dick Dill Vernon Sanders Morris Frost Action at the Hardhi-Simmons game BASKETBALL We heat Northwestern The sweetest victory of the sea- son was the 62-54 win over Northwestern. Veatch and Fant led the Gents. Reesie Timmons, dependable letterman forward, was lost for the remainder of the season with an emergency appendec- tomy. The Gentlemen prompt- ly dropped a tough one to Mississippi Southern 60-57. Dill was the leader with 19 counters. It was Dean Veatch night again as the speed burner drop- ped in 25 markers to lead the lads to a 72-47 win over S. L .1. The trip to Ruston was an un- happy experience as the Tech- sters squared the series 60-51 Johnson was the leader with 17. The curtain was rung down with Northwestern knocking the Gents off 60-55. Duncan led with 15 points. Centenary was selected as one of the four teams to represent this district in the N. A. I. B. playoff. However, the Gentle- men met the host team, S.L.I. and dropped their initial game 57-52, with Duncan leading the offense with 15 points. Miss Wanda Munsell of Shreveport, Louisiana, was crowned Sweet- heart of the Basketball Team on February 14. Miss Munsell was se- lected by the members of the varsity squad and was presented at half- time during the Centenary-North- western game.

The invention of the rotary method of deep drilling for oil was to foster the automobile, the airplane, the Diesel engine, plastics, synthetic rubber, and many other developments. These, in turn, have long since become everyday necessities in the modern American way of life. Through the efforts of an obscure young inventor named Hughes, who chose a Texas cow pasture for his laboratory experiments in seeking oil with the rotary rock drill of his own inven- tion, the developments dependent upon volume production of crude oil survived! With the intro- duction of the Hughes Rock Bit and its successful operation in drilling to unheard-of depths for oil deposits beneath the earth ' s surface, great volume production of petroleum in previously impen- etrable geologic formations be- came possible. Volume production meant low-cost fuel for transpor- tation . . . sparked the refining industry to fantastic accomplish- ment . . . gave birth to the syn- thetic rubber industry . . . and laid the cornerstone to an Ameri- can economy that was to be the marvel of the age! Since the development of the Hughes Rock Bit in 1909, the name HUGHES has symbolized universal leadership in every oil field on the globe . . . has merited the well deserved title, World Standard of the Industry.
