Therefore, in our big production — your YONCOPIN — we have pictured the school year of 1953-54 through the eye of the television camera. Television is entering every home, every phase of life and brings us drama, sports events, the latest news and Arthur Godfrey. Through the process of kinescope we have filmed the events, the activities, the successes that have made college life a happy experience this past year. Now by tuning to U. H. F. Channel 54 you may relive those experiences. A television receiver is somewhat like a mechanical man that is very clever at assembling jigsaw puzzles. All of the mechanics that go into the reproduc- tion of the picture on a receiver sound fantastic, but television itself is fantastic — yet true. The YONCOPIN is your receiver. The Administration, our Activi- ties, Features, Athletics, Organizations, the Faculty and Students are all pieces of college, which when fitted together form a very important part of our life. Through the medium of this fantasy which is reality, we present your 1954 YONCOPIN and dedicate it to the GREATER CENTENARY— the Centenary of the future.

Gossett, Vice-President and General Counsel of the Ford Motor Co., has said, In America today we are hearing a call to leadership. We stand on the vast stage of history before the eyes of the world. At a time like this we need to remember those things that have always mattered most to us. It is our hope that your years at Centenary College have added to your know how, to your technical knowledge and skills, which will make your material life more secure. But the greater challenges of the years ahead will not be met in this area, but in the realm of the mind and spirit. Those things that have always mattered most must not die out within us. Only if we keep them alive and vital can we answer this call to leadership as individuals and as a nation. Looking over James construction. Dr. Mickle with his grandchildren.

In setting up the first Honor Court the members of the student body nominated students at the regular chapel per- iod. The names of the twenty students with the greatest number of votes were submitted to the faculty who selected eight names for further con- sideration. From those eight the Senate named the five students pictured here who compose the initial Honor Court. Walter Dobie is Chief Justice, Joe Pollard is Associate Justice and the Clerk of Court is Mitzi Lowe. Dr. W. W. Pate serves as faculty advisor. All reports of violations of the Honor Code are re- ceived and judged by the Honor Court which is fully authorized to deal with such offenses.

So many seemingly small jobs add up into one big accom- plishment — the annual Yoncopin. An accomplish- ment, however, that is not possible without the ap- preciated cooperation of the administration, faculty and students at Centenary. Themes, layouts, cover planning, picture taking, copy writing, ad selling are all important parts of the yearly activities of the staff. The time that is put into the production of the Yoncopin is a constant attempt to please the students. It is the realization of this goal that makes the work a pleasure.

Immediately preparations will begin for next week ' s edition. Copy will be gathered, stories written, head- lines attached and ad layouts made. All are impor- tant steps in the production of the Conglomerate. Each member of the staff that is listed on the opposite page lias a job to do in order that the deadline may be reached. It also takes the cooperation of everyone en the campus. Each time the paper is printed members of the staff are filled with pride and a big sigh and then it ' s back to the typewriters for the next issue.

THE MAROON JACKETS Centenary ' s Official Hostesses Twenty-four years of dedicated service to the college is the Maroon Jacket organization. Founded in 1931 by Dean Mabel Campbell, the members are chosen each year for qualities of leadership, scholarship and character. A tradition on the campus, these girls are always the perfect hostesses at registration, lyceum concerts, citizen- ship day, chapel programs and other events of the college year. Alternates are Barbara Rigby and Ouida Ann Turnage. Dorothy Jarriel served as president of the Maroon Jackets during the spring semester.

THE PLAYHOUSE AND A SPRING FESTIVAL Dr. Paul T. Nolan checks backstage lighting with stagehand, Jean Womack. Under the direction of Joseph Gifford, head of the dramatics department, the Centenary Playhouse featured a spring festival this year with the revival of three great classics - - Hamlet; Elizabeth, The Queen; and Romeo and Juliet. College students are active in all phases of the dramatic presentations on campus. During the first semester, The Writers ' Club produced A Writer In Our Midst, which also featured much of the talent on campus. The dueling scene from Hamlet.

Not only are they the singing ambassadors of Shreveport, but they are the pride of Shreveport and the South. Music from W. C. Handy to Handel, thrilling audi- ences from ages eight to eighty, is sung by the choir only after many hours of practice, beginning in the summer. Rhapsody in View, Yuletide season, Holi- day in Dixie, Easter time, and many other occasions, the choir is heard in Shreveport. Officers for the choir are Walter Dobie, President; Joe Pollard, Vice-President; Carolyn Hudnall, Co-Ed Vice-President; Mitzi Lowe, Secretary; and Stan Menking, Treasurer. A. C.
