Fifteen Sixteen College is made up of a number of things and the number varies in content and import with the individual. But for each person the chief ingredients are students and faculty. They are a part of the pro- cess which never ends . . . the process of teaching and learning which has just begun. St Vi ill n 11 ■N Dr. Joe J. Mickle , t H . President of Eighteen Dr. Mickle in his office. Dr. Mickle looks over the drawing of the new girls dormitory. This Yoncopin will become for each of you a book of memories, a book to which you will turn frequently, and we hope fondly in the years ahead. Each time you make these pilgrimages back through the halls of mem- ories we should like for you to know that Centenary thinks of you and speaks to you as Socrates spoke of his own sons just before he drank the hemlock: When my sons grow up — I would have you trouble them as I have troubled you, if they care about riches or anything more than about virtue. Or if they pretend to be something when they are really nothing, then re- prove them for not caring for that for which they ought to care — . Centenary College Nineteen Board Paul M.

Mel Torme, renowned singer and entertainer made the difficult choice. Miss Martha New from Jackson, Miss., became the bearer of the coveted title. Martha is a Sophomore and is admired by students and faculty alike for her fresh natural beauty. Centenary is indeed proud of her and feels that she is in every way truly a beauty queen to be proud of. Fifty-four ffiyaPL. . a m ?

The highlight of last year ' s season was the dramatic production, A Faith is Born, presented at the An- nual Woild Conference of Methodist Churches in San Francisco. Having been written into this pro- duction the choir feels that it was a part of the pioneering in the field of religious drama. Produced at a cost of over $20,000 — it was shown twice to Texan audiences in Dallas before moving on to San Francisco and its presentation at the War Memorial Opera House. This year the Lions Club will sponsor the Shreveport Singing Ambassadors at their con- vention in Chicago. This tour will bring down the curtain of activities until next fall. Such sweet good-byes.

Games were played every Wednesday night. Again this year the Chi Omegas won the volleyball trophy. When Basket- ball season began, each organi- zation showed great enthusiasm. Throughout the double round robin the girls of Aufait won all of their games thus the hard-earned tro- phy became theirs. Spring and time for the big tournament com- posed of Badminton, Ping Pong and Paddle Ball. Singles, doubles and mixed doubles brought fun and enjoyment to the entire stu- dent body. Swimming followed and each girl dashed out to show her aquatic ability. The final in- tramural sport of softball brought the participants out into the spring sunshine to fight for the final tro- phy. The girls seem to take a great interest in the Women ' s In- tramurals and the program this year was a complete success.
