CONTENT. And ATHLETICS that will thrill us Then add the yearly FEATURES COLLEGE Seventeen A MESSAGE FROM From the parents of one of our senior students, a resident of another state, I have received a letter which reads, We are proud of our son and we ap- preciate more than we ' ll ever be able to say or show, the opportunities that Centenary has given him. If there is any one desire of the College administration and faculty it is that every graduate leave Centenary deserving the pride of parents and friends. If you leave us without that deserved pride, we feel that somehow we ' ve let someone down; that somewhere along the road of your college experiences we ' ve failed to give you a little glimpse of the better things that men live by. Neither an individual nor a college can afford to neglecMhese better things — the things which go beyond the bank account and life ' s material accessories. If these things remain central in your life ' s planning, you will deserve the pride of parents, friends, and Alma Mater, and the years ahead will yield in- creased appreciation of — the opportunities that Centenary - - has given — .

Robert Ed Taylor wielded the gavel until January, then veep Sanders took over. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Sixty-eight STUDENT SENATE The Student Senate is the governing body of the college. It is composed of thirteen students and three faculty members. Besides enforcing Freshman rules, sponsoring the Howdy dance, Kan- garoo Court and conducting elections, the Senate sponsored four class dances for the school. Home- coming runs smoother because of the behind-the-scenes work of the Senate. Faculty sponsors for this group are Betty McKnight and C. A. Hickcox.

We feel that we have worked hard in an attempt to please the student body, but the staff is not unaware of the part each student and faculty member played in making this an- nual a possibility and a reality. We sincerely thank each of you for your cooperation. Martha New, Maude Jeter Thornton, B. F. Nichols and Harriet Farmer. Seventy STAFF 1952 Pictured on these pages are the students who have made this annual possible. Into it has gone their ideas, their time, and their energy, with the hope that the 1952 YONCOPIN will mean a great deal to the students both now and in alumni years. At right: Jean Yauger, Mary Bozeman, Loralee Craft, Gail Haywood and Marjorie Eubank. Diligent editor Joye Holley, business manager Tommy Baumgardner, and the stall have endeavored to produce an annual which students will long treasure as a key to memories of col- lege days. From the time school starts in Septem- ber until it closes in the spring hours and hours are spent each day by the editor and staff. At right: Bob Monk, Chuck Perkins, Tony Bridge and as- sociate editor, Paul Rogers. The job calls for a tremendous expendi- ture of time and patience, sleepless nights, and endless busy days. Every expenditure, however, is more than re- paid by the satisfaction of seeing the finished product. At right: Barbara Hood, Mitzi Lowe, Sue Weaver, Mary Holt and Delorce Threlkeld. Not pic- tured are Jane Young, Ava Jane Mar- tin, Marjorie Person and Shirley Gas- sen. Seventx-one Editors Bob Monk and Herschel McClure. THE CONGLOMERATE A team of hard-working reporters, feature writers, columnists, proof-readers and copy readers strive each week to keep the students informed as to the activities and functions on the campus. Each member of the staff is here pictured playing his role in the publication of the Conglomerate. Editors Monk and McClure, with the aid of their staff, have endeavored to give the stu- dent body each week an interesting and in- formative newspaper. Business Manager Perry Hollembeak and Circulation Manager Ann Lloyd. Carolyn West, Joye Holley. and B. F. Nichols. Seventy-two STAFF 1952 This was the year for changes in the life of the student newspaper. First it changed editors shortly after the beginning of the semester. Co-editors Monk and McClure took over their jobs with a small staff, a cheerful smile and a bottle of aspirin tab- lets. Right: Bill Mcjunkins, Joel Meri- wether and Bill Baker. A little later in the year the Conglomerate got a face lifting. Its page size was de- creased while the number of pages was increased to six. Good sports coverage was assured the Gents and Intramural teams ■ in the student paper by Jerry Bloomer, Chuck Perkins and Connie Mack Rea. The Confederate issue created quite a stir while the March of Dimes and Blood Drive were aided by publicity in the Conglomerate. Cartoons and faculty snaps were created by the pens of Ronald Rice and Jean Yauger. Seventy-three MAROON JACKETS Miss Katherine Turner, Centenary ' s Dean of Women, served as the Maroon Jackets ' sponsor this year. The versatile young dean is a former member of this ho nor organization. Twenty-two years of service has been given the college by its official host- esses, the Maroon Jackets. These girls serve at registration, freshman week, lyceum programs and weekly chapel programs. Two girls from each sorority and the non-Greek letter organization compose the select membership. The girls are selected for their qualities of leadership, scholarship and character; also an over-all B average. At left: Kellum and Hood in action.

Voran, beloved director oi the choii, comes down horn tht dressing room on opening night oi Rhapsody in View. One of the school ' s greatest advertising cards is the Centenary College choir, now in its tenth year of service to the school, community and state. Each of these ten years usually starts with the traditional choir camp on Lake Bistineau, at the lake estate of the Luther Beenes. Here for a full week both old and new members alike gather for the last relaxation per- iod before school starts and for some forty rehearsal hours. The camping time ' is largely responsible for the early presentation of Rhapsody In View, the first big show for local audiences. This usually is presented in early November, three or four months before any other choir, without something like choir camp, would attempt such a production. Featured on the 1951 edition of Rhapsody were Mrs. Celia Pate Ward, Mr. John Shenaut, and Mr. Ralph Squires who combined their talents on the closing number Seraphic Song. Tuning up, the choir displays one oi its sets ot dresses and suits. Mr. C. C. Key, bus driver for (he choir, supervises loading of the bus. Last minute touches before curtain time. In December the Christmas music comes into focus with the regular concert tours to towns in the Ark-La-Tex and for the special Christmas func- tions such as the turning on of the Christmas lights in downtown Shreveport. One of the earliest dates in the Yuletide season belongs to the First Method- ist Church in Dallas who schedule the choir a year in advance for the next December.

Here are the Apple Eaters in action One of the highlights in the Choir ' s singing experi- ences was in October when an invitation came to sing in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas for a giant Religious rally, the closing night of the Texas State Fair. This rally has been hearalded as one of the largest ever to take place in the South with some 45,000 people in attendance. Another engagement of similar nature was fulfilled in April when World Methodist Conference was held in San Francisco. This conference meets every four years and receives delegates from all over the world. There the choir was written into a play depicting the average American and his religion. Mr. Glen John- son of Dallas wrote the original music for the produc- tion and two of them have been recorded by the choir.

The Lions Clubs conventions added a great deal to the Choir ' s traveling list, having sung for the fifth consecutive year, this time in Atlantic City. Conven- tion Hall, the world ' s largest auditorium was the site of proceedings and it was there that the choir had quite an experience singing in that vast building. Mr. Herb C. Petry, past president of Lions Interna- tional, gave the presidential award for the services of the choir. With the fading notes of this year ' s concerts the sing- ers are looking ahead to a new year, next year in the dispensing of good will as good music. The sum- mer ' s rest will be a welcomed one after the tours and keeping up grades to a B average. It is not every school that has an organization like the Centenary College Choir, and Centenary is proud to have such an organization in the Shreveport Singing Ambas- sadors. It is always chow time for the hard working truck crew. A familial scene to the singers: a Choir camp rehearsal. mm CENTENARY PLAYHOUSE With a lavish setting designed by Pat Brown, the excellent direction of Joseph Gifford and a talented cast, Maxwell Anderson ' s Elizabeth The Queen enjoyed a run at the Centenary Playhouse that was indeed royal. Slated for a limited three night run, performances were ex- tended to six nights due to the demands of Shreveport theatre-goers. More than eighteen hundred ticket-seekers were turned away, set- ting an all-time record for Shreveport theatri- cals. Continuing the policy of presenting only clas- sics, Elizabeth marks the high spot in the growth of the Playhouse which has become one of the top theatres in this area under the direc- tion of Joseph Gifford. Centenary Drama major, Mary Bozeman, es- sayed the title role of the sixty-four year old queen. Appearing as a guest of the Playhouse was Mr. George Blackwood, of the Broadway stage, as Lord Essex. Other principal characters were Ralph Lynch as Cecil, Robert Edmond as Raleigh, Pat Brewer as Penelope, and Jerry Bloomer as the Fool. Eighty-two RADIO WORKSHOP H. ANTHONY BRIDGE, JR.

Flanked by Bob Wright and Joe Mooty, she was presented to the homecoming crowd before the game and crowned by Coach Delaney. A large bouquet of red roses went along with the kiss from the coach. There comes a time in every coach ' s experience when he must rebuild and take his lumps and like it. This was to be such a year for Coach F. H. (Buss) Delaney and his Centenary ball club. The 1951-52 edition of the Gentlemen was basically a green crew loaded with freshmen and sophomores with a single senior in the lineup. To add a few gray hairs to Coach Delaney ' s scalp, four key players left Centenary by sickness, ineligibility, transfer, and the draft.

At the end of the winter road trip the Gents gathered in a three won and eleven lost record, and were the cellar dwellers of the Gulf States Conference. Beginning the second term, Pototo Ramerez and Connie Mack Rea entered the lineup and added a spark to the hard working Gents. The extra experience and height began to pay off with five straight victories and a smooth working club. The Gents began a slow but steady rise until the buzzer sounded the end of the regular season. The standings found the Gentlemen in fourth place with an even break in sixteen conference games. Not bad for a team that was to be chased off the floor. Centenary made a clean sweep against Northwestern and Louisiana College and split two games with the rest with the exception of Springhill College and South- western Louisiana. One Hundred Entering the post season play the Maroon and White sported a thirteen won and fifteen lost record. The first Gulf States Tournament was held at Natchitoches, and the Gents came out with third place by defeating Southwestern La. and McNeese State. They dropped a game to Con- ference Champions Mississippi Southern, but received two All-Tour- nament berths in Connie Mack Rea and Bob Wright. To add to the honors, Rea was chosen Most Val- uable Player to his team and captain of the All-Tournament five. The night before, the Gulf States All-Conference team was announced, and Bob Wright received a first team position. Hoke again fights tor rebounds. LOUISIANA N. A. I. B. CROWN Jim Whitler Bob Wright Two days later the boys traveled back to Natchitoches for the N. A. I. B. playoffs. It required two overtimes, but the Gents swept the two games by downing Tech for the second time in three starts, and Northwestern for three straight over the season. For the first time in fourteen years Cen- tenary went to a national tourna- ment, but lost to a powerful Mur- ray State squad in the first round. The reco rd now stands at seven- teen victories and seventeen de- feats to balance the book. This record may not seem impressive, but it represents fourteen wins in the last twenty games. This was accomplished by a group of boys and their coach who made up in hard work what they lacked in experience.

One Hundred Four INTRAMURALS The initial event in the Men ' s Intra- mural Sports League opened in the fall of 1951 with Touch Football. At the beginning of the season six teams were entered in the Touch Football league. As the season got underway, two of the teams dropped from the league and left Lambda Chi Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Kappa Alpha and Colonial Hall competing on the gridiron. The first round was won by the Lambda Chi ' s and the second round by the Kappa Sig ' s. These two teams played in the championship game with the Kappa Sig ' s edging out the Lambda Chi ' s 7-0 to walk off with the trophy. T he season of football was rough and exciting and drew large crowds of students to many games. The Basketball League of Men ' s Intra- murals got underway after the Christ- mas holidays. Six teams were en- tered and no teams dropped out. Those entered were Lambda Chi, Kappa Sig, Kappa Alpha, Colonial Hall, Bible and PEM Club. Outstanding players in the Basket- ball League were Ken Jacocks of Colonial Hall and John Sands of Kappa Alpha. One Hundred Five WOMEN ' S The Women ' s Intramurals opened its season in September with vol- leyball. Games were played every Wednesday evening with Chi Omega, Aufait, Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Xi Delta, and Independents participating. The Chi Omegas won the volleyball trophy. Basketball followed in January with Aufait girls copping the tro- phy. Came the spring and the young girl ' s fancy turned to Bad- minton, Ping Pong and Paddle Ball. The three sports were com- bined into one tournament with doubles, mixed doubles and sin- gles. With spring well on its way, the final intramural sport for women stepped in. Softball game ' s took up much of the activity of the spring with all the sororities and the independents fighting for the final trophy. The girls seem to take a great interest in the Wom- en ' s Intramurals and the program this year was a complete success. One Hundred Six INTRAMURALS Women ' s Intramural Activities are under the supervision of the Wom- en ' s Intramural Council. It is com- posed of a representative from each social organization and in- dependent groups. The sports are scheduled on an inter-sorority basis. Volleyball, badminton, bas- ketball, tennis, softball, pingpong, and paddle ball are played on a competitive basis.

It was formed by students of German primarily to serve as a focusing organ for a common interest, namely, the German language, German literature and cus- toms. The club has no written constitution. In carrying out its purpose it needs none. In bringing about an understanding of German culture, it finds informal meetings interspersed with Gesang (singing of German songs) the best means.

As the pages of an album bring back memories from the past, so there comes before the minds of all who knew her, the gracious smile which signified a personality vibrant with faith in mankind and dedicated to the highest gualities of noble womanhood. Many organizations now serving important places in our college life carry her name as founder. Under her creative and imaginative direc- tion many things now called traditions came into being. Because she gave herself unsparingly to the highest traditions of Centen- ary College, to 25 graduating classes of students, she herself became a tradition. As a symbol of our lasting esteem and affection we dedicate this book to the memory of Dean Maybel Taylor Campbell who graduated from this earth June 11, 1951. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. One Hundred Forty-six Your Yoncopin Portraits Were Made By S T U V .
