► J 1 fflK J ' - i n •VM i J 1 7 E: X Lib ris Robert Wesley Adams Editor in Chief James Morgan Fitts Business Manager FOREWORD e Citmberland University is too old to be collefjiate, yet just old enough to be vener- able. Our years at Cumber- land have made neiv realms accessible to us. N ' ew expe- riences, neiv ideals, shininc; drearily, have been born H-ithin the treasure chests of our minds. Our dream ships, laden with various ambitions, irill sail the seven seas. Some will return an abundance of ( ■ cd deeds, others ivill dis- appear in the mists of mem- ory; but tve shall h a v e lived more abundantly. If, when the closing years of a weary journey drau: about us, we may gain neiv courage by leafing through our school year of nineteen hun- dred and twenty-nine, then the PHCENIX, having winged through the stonns of time, will have followed its chartered course. This PHCENIX contents itself with recording the eighty -seventh year of colorful underg -ad- uate life, and offers a silent tcast to those who have up- held Cum- ber Ian d ' s Traditional Culture.  v contentj I THE VNIVEKSITY ADMINISTKATION CLASSES ATHLETICS OKQANIZATIONS FEATVKES PHOENIX :s IN MEMORIAM George Frank Burns, A.B., M.A. Our beloved friend and instructor was taken from us just before midnight of December 29, 1928, after an illness of one week. His sudden death was a great shock to his large circle of friends in Lebanon and in other portions of the country where he is widely known. In the summer of 1923 he was called to the Professorship of Latin and Greek in the College of Arts, which position he ably filled to the day of his death. He always impressed you with his high ideals of physical and moral manhood. Scarcely could any one ever find fault with his life. His goodness was not so much a profession as a life. Mr. Burns will be most remembered as a manly man and as a Chris- tian who lived his religion. 2X= : II THE UNIVERSITY i Mellow sunlight, driftivg through leafy boicers upon the weather-beaten doors, Gives contentment and courage to those who bask in thij wainith of the spirit of life. The pride of Southern glory shines from thy restful tvalls; And many pass through these gates of golden opportunity, not knowing what lies beyond. Roman gods could not surpass the braves loho meet ivithin thy halls, Noi ' cops nor guns stop the Fourth Floor Fighters in their riotous baivls. y Soft shadotvs shimmer across thy lawns, where dance the feet of Southern maids; And virtue, knowledge, truth, and peace are kept tvithin the cotnforts of thy noted tvalls. Sweet memories of Southern days are mingled loith thy stately peace — Years gone, this scene we love so well icill tinn Time backwai ' d in its flight. Nor rain, nor sleet, nor snow can stay these enthusiastic seekers of knoiol- edge From their daily search in thy bounds for a stronger and nobler life. PHOENIX 2 +.— „ ..„,=, — President Ernest L. Stockton Cumberland University has made a forward step in the selec- tion of her President, Ernest L. Stockton, who has risen from the student ranks to the highest position his Alma Mater could offer him, and who is now filling that position most creditably. His love for Cumberland is not an empt ' sentiment, but has always manifested itself in work for everj-thing which would be of advantage to the institution. His term as President, which began in 1927, instituted a new era of progress for the school. President Stockton is a man of the highest ideals, and his ideals are more than daydreams. He is a man of action. High ideals and action are combined within his character in a remark- able degree. His talent for creating original plans for the ad- vancement of Cumberland has done much toward making him famous. As for the Prexy ' s relation to the faculty and to the student body, he has the love, respect, and the admiration of all. He has always a pleasant word and gentlemanly gi ' eeting ; he is always ready to help, and he m akes friends by the score. During his short service in the capacitj- of President so far, many new plans for the expansion of the university have been adopted, and the scholastic requirements have been raised to a plane that will bring recognition throughout the educational world. Due to his long and varied experience in the university, President Stockton is well qualified to understand and appre- ciate the problems and difficulties that face each of its members. His policy of impartiality and fair-mindedness has won the con- fidence and admiration of all depai-tments. He has proved that no person is more deserving of that rich old American title, A Gentleman and a Scholar. I J23C :xs 16 PHOENIX HARRY L.

But what a class it has been! Starting at the lowest position of the school, considered dumb by the upperclassmen, but standing on the threshold of wonderful opportunity for development, the Freshmen took their first step toward success by adopting the watch- word of Unity, Progress, and Service. And, a thing of greater impor- tance than this, they have directed their efforts toward the translating of these ideals into the flesh. They have so conducted themselves that loy- alty and devotion to Cumberland have been reflected from their every ac- tion. They have suffered the trials and problems which confronted them on every hand with a smile and with a spirit that has never failed. Favorable omens attended the Freshmen in the selection of their class oflScers. By electing Sam Lumpkin as their President, they secured a man who has always had the interests of his class and his school at heart. A born leader and a representative student in every respect, Sam will long be remembered for his untiring zeal in establishing the right attitude and college spirit. He is a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity and an active worker in all forms of worthy student activity. The remainder of the administrative staff have at all times supported the President in an admirable manner. Adopting a policy of skepticism toward traditional rules of activity, the Freshmen sponsored Stunt Night in the fall soon after the first semes- ter began. The attempt was voted a success by all, and it is hoped that Freshman Stunt Night will become an annual affair in Cumberland. At a later day a Freshman Debating Society was organized, whose suc- cess is justly attributed to the cooperation and efforts of the officers and members. A Freshman Basketball Team was instituted, and established an enviable record. The Freshman Class has had representatives in all social and scholastic activities. The representatives include members of the Varsity football, basketball, and baseball teams. Collegian reporters, and members of numerous campus organizations. The scholastic stand- ards of the class are very high. The Freshman Class has done its best for its Alma Mater. Individu- ally and as a whole, it has directed all its energies for service and cooper- ation. The class has been sacred to its trust. Its power has not been prostituted. And when a critical future rears a memorial to the classes of Cumberland University, no empty niche shall record this class ' apos- tacy. PHOENIX S]P HEAD COACH MONTY MacDANIEL Coach MacDaniel came to Cumberland in the fall of 1927. and. working with a green squad, turned out a most creditable team. By dint of hard, conscientious, untiring labor, Coach worked a team out of his squad that went down fighting to the last, when they did go down ; and they deserve more credit than the student body gave it. Only those who know Coach, which is a hard thing, know the suave, easy manner in which he tackles his work ; and also those that realize it know that when the time comes for actions or results. Coach MacDaniel and his trained men are there with the goods. To you, who gave that we might gain a broader fame. Who aided nobly in exalting Cumberland ' s name, Our loyal appreciation thus let us extend ; Cumberland stands behind you, steadfast to the end. CAPTAIN WILLIE COOK Playing his third year on the team. Red was a most essential cog in the success of his team, and a distinct blow was felt when he was forced out for the season after the Sewanee game. Red lent his spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship to his mates, and they carried on for him. He was, without a doubt, the most deadly tackle ever in a Cumberland line, and his presence was keenly missed while he was out. MANAGER MURPHY McCLOY Serving his second year as the midget Manager of the Maroon and White Bulldogs. Murph handled the business end of the team in a masterly fashion. Ever smiling and cheering his cohorts on to victory, he is the ideal Cumberland follower. A keen business mind, a skillful worker who instills fight and confidence into the players, a good winner, and a good loser — that ' s Murph. PHOENIX 2 HOMER KNEE, Fullback Cubby is a bone-crushing fullback, with plenty of speed. He made a name in the Normal and Bry- son games, and he will be keenly missed next year. BOBERT TAYLOR, Halfback A demon at hitting the linr. passing, and also an end runner, Bunk is a most valuable man to the team. He has two big years ahead of him, and is sure to pile up more enviable plays in that time. WILLIAM BAIRD, Quarterback Bill ran ends, offset the tackles, threw passes, and ran the team in excsllent fashion until he was forced out after the Maryville game. One of the scrappiest, pluckiest little quarterbacks that ever wore a maroon jersey. CHARLES FLOYD. QuARTEaiBACK Floyd acquitted himself in masterly fashion in his Freshman year, and great things are expected of him in the years to come. He ran the team in fine style after Baird was injured, and proved himself full of that old Cumberland spirit. -2?: 62 X$ PHOENIX ?: LeROY drake, Left Guard Roy did great work all season. He was somewhat handicapped by a weak ankle, but he was always in there fishting. and the left center was a hard place to register a gain. SAM ADKINSON, Right End Another Freshman who filled the position of the memorable Carl Hicks like a veteran. He had a high- school record, and he upheld it. He will be a star next year. BULL THOMPSON. Center One of the greatest centers Cumberland ever had. A 205-pound wall on the defense, and he showed remarkable strength in guessing enemy plays and breaking them up. We ' ll miss Bull and his smile next year. JOHN BIVINS, Left End Jack did great work all season in his second year on the Maroon and White line. He gave his best, and that is the Cumberland fight. Every one will welcome him to his third letter next year. PHOENIX JAMES HIGH, Halfback Coming to Cumberland with an enviable high-school record, High upheld his name and made an enviable impression in his first year. Great things are expected in the next three seasons. GLENN WEBB. Right Guard Webb played his most consistent games before the home fans, and this was good, and more of it. He played a position where sensational plays are rare, but many times he broke through and stole a step on an enemy back for a loss. ALLAN CLARK. Halfback Greek played the second year on the Bulldog team, and did better than last. Great gains are expected from his determination and football ability next fall. FOUNT ROBISON, Left End Shifting his position from guard of last year to a flank position. Fount was down on the punts, in on the plays, and an accurate pass receiver, or what ' s an end for ? PHOENIX ALLISON B. HUMPHRIES. Eight Tacklb Fats played his usual strong: game at tackle until forced out for the season by an injury. This was Fats ' fourth letter in football, and he deserves every one of them, if ever letters were earned. WILLIAM LITTLE, Right Guard Bill played a fighting game at guard : and though a little light for the position, he was never run over. We are lucky to have Bill for another season, for he has the fight that wins. GLENN LACKEY, Fullback Although he didn ' t come out until after the season had started. Lackey won recognition by his masterful line playing and kicking. He scored the only touchdown in the Tech game, and was always fighting. LAWYER BOYER, Left Tackle One of the biggest men that ever wore a maroon jersey, both in size and ability. Lawyer tipped the Fairbanks at 250, and a gain over his tackle was unheard of. 2X 65 I!

C TOREADORS, CUMBERLAND PEP SQUAD 3c: :xi 66 PHOENIX Sm COACH CHARLIE RICE Charlie came to Cumberland with an enviable record on the gridiron, hardwood, and on the diamond. Belonging to a professional team, he was barred from athletics and accepted the position of basketball coach. He drilled his boys every afternoon, and developed a team of six-footers into a formidable machine. He left school to join his baseball team in the midst of the basketball season; but he had instilled the Cumber- land tenacity and determination, and his successor, Fount Robison, only had to keep up the morale with his born genius of leadership. CAPTAIN FOUNT ROBISON Fount received the highest honor of his team this year, due to his steadiness and leadership last year. He was shifted from center to guard this season, but it didn ' t slow him up, and he came through this season in another blaze of glory. Fighting spirit, a fair winner, a good loser, a determined player with ability is this captain. MANAGER WILLIAM STRONG Billie ' s devotion to his team and able assistance cannot be questioned. He was always there, and booked some of the best teams in the South for Bulldog victims. Billie is another of those small managers — in stature — carrying out a seemingly established custom. But he carried a keen business head and proved a great find. 2X 67 CAPTAIN FOUNT ROBISON, Guard A born leader and a great general. Fount is a great guard, and has a mania for breaking up shots after they have been started. Huge of stature, but nimble as a cat, he forced the opponents to take long shots and never permitted himself to be sucked out. JIMMIE FITTS, Forward What Jimmie lacked in stature he made up for in clever floor work and ability to hit the basket. His hand skill, dribbling, and ability to emerge from a scrimmage carry- ing the ball, makes him a desirable member of any team. Jimmie has made an envi- able record, and his place will be hard to fill. WILLIAM ROBINSON, Forward Bill ' s shooting has featured every game and has led the team in points scored. He shows a lot of promise for a first-year man, and doubtless he will make a great rec- ord before he departs athletically from his Alma Mater. A great shot from the field and one who covers much territory. PHOENIX SP ROBERT WOODY, Guard The abundant natural resources in the shape of great physique and fighting spirit which have characterized Bob on the gridiron make him a gi ' eat player. All over the floor in a minute and a keen eye for the basket when a long shot is needed — that ' s Woody. SAM ADKINSON, Center The tip-off was always Sam ' s, the ball was his, he was the pivot of the team. A first-year man, but the steadiest player on the squad. A giant on the defense, and his name was always in the scoring column. In other words, Sam is an all-round good player, and he will be back for three more seasons of glory. JOHN BIVINS, Guard Jack is another of those subs that can fill in as a substitute and never falter. A tenacious guard and always ready to break up a rally started by an opponent. This is Jack ' s second year on the team, and he has two more big years ahead of him. : 6 PHOENIX ::S5.

C 70 : PHOENIX SP  COACH MONTY McDANIEL Coach, as he is known to all, led three sports in Cumberland this year, and proved that his ability is unlimited. Just as he put the fight in the gridiron warriors, he in- stilled the principles of basketball into a skilled squad of basketball lassies and turned out one of the fastest teams Cumberland has ever had. Hampered by injuries and ill- ness, the team used their able substitutes to an advantage, and Coach can be remem- bered as the one who put them over. CAPTAIN RUTH FREEMAN Playing her second year in the Maroon quintet, Ruth was chosen captain, and proved an able one. She was a great floor worker, and had that personality and deter- mination so imbedded in her eve.y action that it influenced the team for good. Un- doubtedly the most versatile member of the squad, the cog of the machine, and pos- sessed of an uncanny ability to hit two points, she had the respect and confidence of her cohorts. MANAGER ETHEL FORTSCH For four years Ethel was placed on the squad, and played her games in a manner not to be criticized. Her ability and business faculties were recognized, and she was chosen manager for her last year. It was a skillful arrangement of Miss Fortsch that gave our girls a chance to show their team, for she arranged games with some of the strongest teams in the State and South. We are sorry to lose Ethel. 71 PHOENIX ::a CAPTAIN RUTH FREEMAN, Forward Th,e backbone of the whole team is this captain, who is famous for her long and accurate passes and shots and her uncanny ability under the basket. With an eye on the ball, she is a smooth floor worker and as nimble as a cat. CATHERINE VAUGHAN, Forward Kat has been indispensable in the teamwork this year. She came from the High School with an enviable record, and her first year here has proven her ability. An all- round athlete who will lead Cumberland in her future basketball victories. ELIZABETH FREEMAN, Center Most zealous and agile is this starring center, whose work is a decided feature of each game. Her pep and fighting spirit kept the team in determined spirits. A rangy, active center, who is the pivot of passwork and teamwork. ELSIE MAE ALEXANDER, Guard Not in the history of Cumberland has the Maroon been graced with so consistent a player. Equally adept at center, forward, and guard positions, Red has played the position that suits the team best, and is not surpassed for fight, determination, and ability. JP X5 72 PHOENIX 2: HELEN LEA, Guard Sturdy, hard-fighting, untiring — that ' s the dependable Helen. She has starred the second of her four years. Her physique and will power will win for her two more years of success and honor. No finer guards in the South can be found than Red and Helen. ETHEL FORTSCH, Guard The determination to make Varsity has caused Ethel to help lead Cumberland to victory. She contributed fine spirit and excellent woi ' k to the season ' s success. Her duties of manager did not tame her spirit and ability on the hardwood. MARGARET EATHERLEY, Forward Another of those highly-touted High School stars who more than lived up to her rep- utation. Nonchalant, easy-going, yet quick as a mouse, she woi ' ked the floor in great style, and always received her share of hard knocks, but came up smiling and fighting. MILDRED BRYANT, Guard Mildred was placed on the squad for the second year, and filled in whenever needed in fine style. She had spirit, ability, determination, and basketball brains, and will be a valuable asset for the next two years. 2X : 73 PHOENIX : a The Schedule and T{esults Cumberland 26 Cumberland 7 Cumberland 21 Cumberland 25 Cumberland 20 Cumberland 12 Cumberland 16 Cumberland 20 Cumberland 25 Cumberland 30 Tennessee Tech 12 Union 28 M.

Prom the first game with Michigan State, the Bulldogs never showed signs of lack of work, and it was due to Coach ' s untiring efforts and knowledge of the game that made the team. An old Manager, an old player. Coach was one in a hundred to put the fight and teamwork into his diamond cohorts of 1929. MANAGER WILLIAM BUCKOWY Such a schedule as arranged by this Manager cannot be surpassed, for he brought some high-class teams to the University, and also scheduled a good number of strong teams for road trips. Buck knew the game himself, and his heart was just as much with them as it was away from the girls. A more popular Manager will be hard to find to replace him next year. PHOENIX IS BUNK TAYLOR, Infield Bunk, at short, was one of the mainstays of the team. Many times did Bunk make catches that were labeled safe hits. His hitting was very dangerous, and to face him as lead-off man was a task for any pitcher. He will be back. BOB ADAMS, Outfield Bob was too heavy to be flashy, but was usually there when a ball came to left field. This is his fourth year on the Varsity, and he is promising to make it the best, at least to overcome the name he acquired last season. BILL BAIRD, Catcher Bill shifted from the outfield to catcher this year, but showed that he was as much at home there as anywhere. A snappy little receiver and a great hand to back up throws. Bill knew how to handle his pitchers, and was in there fighting to the last ditch. BILL ROBINSON, Infield Although fresh from high school, Bill came through with a good brand of ball on third base. A fair hitter, and always conscientious about his playing. His next three years should be exceedingly bright ones in every respect. PHOENIX Sid ■ SKEET GLASS, Infield To look at his size would say first base, and, boy! he played it. A real threat with the willow, and to throw a ball over him at the initial sack was not done. Long and lanky, but full of pep and ability to play his position made him a valuable man. LIEUT. PRITCHARD, Infield A second baseman of no mean ability in the field, and did he step into them at the plate? He was death on Texas leaguers when a hit was needed. A real pivot man in a double-play combination, and covered the territory as a second baseman should. MURPH McCLOY, Outfield Probably the least man on the squad, and also probably the hardest hitter, Murph really hits those blue darters. He throws, hits, runs, and fields with uncanny ability, and it is a pity to lose such a born fighter and player. HONEY NORTHCUT, Outfield Northcutt was a flashy fielder and a stinging hitter in every sense of the word. He could throw them in from the field like nobody ' s business, and when it came to catching them, they were always trapped when hit his way. 2X: £2. 77 PHOENIX :S GUY THACKSTON Returning from last year ' s catching staff, Guy held his position and rounded out another year in fine style. His motto was, Thou shalt not steal, and he was death on the throw. A dangerous hitter and extraordinarily fleet of foot. RAY MARSH, Pitcher and Outfielder Coming from Florida with an enviable reputation as baseball man, Ray showed he had earned it by his steady playing. He was one of the most dangerous hitters on the team when he was in there, and on the mound he was acid to the batting averages of opponents. SAM ADKINSSON, Pitcher Another high-school product who made a whiz at his first turn. His first game against Michican was enough to convince us that he has three brilliant years ahead. Two hits and tied his own score is his record for that game, and he will be noticed. CHIEF DAVIS, Outfield Chief was the Baby Ruth of the club. His time at bat was dangerous to any pitcher, and many times he hit ' em back so fast they never saw them. His slowness afoot and weak arm were overbalanced by his hitting. PETE HOWSER, Pitcher One of the most dependable pitchers on the squad was Pete. He had a side-arm delivery that was puzzling and a fast one and curve that was as hard to hit as a float- ing target. A mean threat with the willow, too.

With the coming and going of the one-year law students, the tennis strength is always an unknown quan- tity until the newcomers have been tested. The sun had not illumined the courts many days, however, before its rays were reflected by scores of rackets idly awaiting an opportunity to seize a court. These aspirants showed that this year ' s tennis strength was not to be questioned; and as the Phcenix goes to the printer, the prospects are exceedingly bright. Realizing the advantage of an organization, the would-be Tildens and Wills organized the club. The enrollment was not large, and there were many on the courts that did not join in. As in other departments of the Annual, the hard problem was getting the club together for a picture; and after many appointments, the nucleus of the organization assembled for the above cut. We realize that this is only a small pai ' t of the tennis players, but we have no apologies to those who failed to show up. OFFICERS John Haley President William B.

They included Captain Cook, Humphries, Taylor, Clark, Bivins, Baird, McArthur, Robison, and Knee. Around this nucleus he started to build a formidable Bulldog machine, with much new material on hand. Sweating through the merciless days of eariy fall, the host of gallants went to the shower each day with a little more fight and vigor in their football ability. Finally, Coach unleashed his mighty team of Bulldogs to the task of tearing up the hard sched- ule before them. Only three games out of eight were to be won, but to win or lose was to play the game with that same fine spirit of clean, hard fight that has characterized Cumberland ' s athletics through the long years of her glorious existence. The season was not in full swing until Knee, Cook, and Humphries were injured, and were never at their best, Humphries and Knee being out for the season. This called for the reserves, and they fought to the last ditch. The first game was lost to the Alabama Normal team. Our Bulldogs couldn ' t seem to get together. The second game of the season found the team blood-raw and full of fight. They went to tackle the Middle Tennessee Teachers, who had won by three touchdowns the previous year; and with a fight of vengeance and a defense that held the opponents in our ten-yard line for four downs on seven diff ' erent occasions, we brought home a 13 to victory. This game will be long remembered in the heart of every CumberlandeT. Baird ' s recovery of a fumble and a sensational 80-yard run for the first touchdown gave the team the needed confidence, and the Teachers were never able to score. The next week saw the Bulldogs fall before Sewanee by six touchdowns. The con- test was one of brawn, and the University of the South had the edge. T. P. I. was the next victor over the team, but the Bulldogs held them to a close score. Tech had a great team, not losing a game this year, and our boys did great work to hold them down. Maryville was proclaimed victorious the next week on their home ground, although it was a heart-rending loss. But the Bulldogs were ready for blood again, and when Coach ' s old team from Bry- son came over here, we whipped them 19 to 6. Bryson scored a touchdown on the second team in the third quarter. The West Kentucky Teachers took the boys for another victory the following week. It was. a great team the Cumberland boys fought, for Kentucky Western defeated the leading teams of the State and were refused a game by the University of Kentucky. Thanksgiving Day was Home-Coming Day, and the warriors fought their best to give a C to victory over West Tennessee Teachers. The Teachers put up a good fight, resorting to passes in the last quarter on every down, but a trusty Bulldog was there to knock it down. Despite serious injuries, the season was never without interest and recognition, and Coach turned out his second creditable machine. A world of material will return next year, and we predict a glorious season for our warriors. With a highly-touted squad of six-footers. Coach Charley Rice confronted the prob- lem of living up to the boasts around the campus. He drilled them thoroughly in the principles of the game and worked out a combination that was a true representative of Cumberland. The Bulldogs on the floor faced the hardest schedule ever made for a basketball team, and the games that were won were games that showed the ability and determination of the boys. The games that were lost were a credit, for thy tackled teams that were professionals in the game, but who showed little more ability than did our men. Close defeats and deserved victories marked the basketball season, and the hardwood warriors finished the season with a reputation that will ever leave them in the hearts of Cumberland followers as the Army of Giants. The girls were equally as successful under the coaching of McDaniel. Inheriting very promising material from the High School team to work with four-letter wearers of last year, they were one of the fastest girls ' teams ever seen here. The Maroonettes, with inexhaustible courage and persistency, have fought their way through a glorious season. The girls have shown extraordinary skill and ability in playing. Nowhere in the South is there a finer pair of guards, our forwards cannot be surpassed, and too much cannot be said in praise of our center. Most of the team will return next year. With this material coached again by our Mac, a spotless record of basketball is bound to follow. 81 PHOENIX i S Freshman Basket Ball In order to broaden athletics and perhaps to prepare for the adoption of the one-year rule in the near future, a Freshman team was organized this year. Under the coaching of Sam Lumpkin and management of Clif- ford Troxler, this team, composed of Captain Reed, Cowboy Newman, Red Williams, Pre-War Prehoda, Purdy Wilkes, Prep Davis, Rev. Kerr, and other promising material, went through quite a success- ful season. They defeated some of the strongest high school teams in this section, and numerous times scrimmaged the Varsity to a good score. Their victims included Watertown Independents, Major High School, Leb- anon Independents, and fraternity teams on the campus. They lost to Tupelo Military Academy, Castle Heights, and Watertown Independents. -23c: ::£:$ 82 PHOENIX i ; agf y ' g ?r «!awR?K ; -?-: : ; ' g.: nz : S3 PHOENIX 2SS. lar --- jp- 84 =X$ PHOENIX 2: Lambda Chi Alpha Founded at Boston University 1909 Colors: Purple, Green, and Gold Flower: Violet ALPHA SIGMA ZETA Established at Cunibcrh;nd L niversit; April 17, 1917 FRATER IN FACULTATE James O.

The fraternity was founded at the University of Michigan in 1914, and since that time has staged a very creditable and rapid growth.

It is under the auspices and support of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and is one of many such organizations among the colleges and universities of the United States. Professor Will D. Young, head of the History Department, is the faculty advisor. The bi-monthly meetings of the club are devoted to discussions of events of national and international importance, the chief object being the preparation of the members for a more intelligent citizenship in America and in the world. A high scholastic standing and a year ' s resident study in Cumberland are prerequisites to consideration for membership.

The organization was formed because: United, we stand; divided, we fall. In other words, the members have come together for protection against the usual insults hurled against them by others not so favored by nature. It also promotes the need and use of red hair. The President of the Cumberland Cardinals was chosen because he has the most distinguished red head on the campus. OFFICERS Henry Burkitt . . . .

With the beginning of the new year, 1928, the Y has turned over a new leaf — not striving for more members, but all members; not for better programs, but for the best programs; not for a better influence among the students, but for the best influ- ence possible.

There ' s a flat in most of these Daddy-I-Love-You songs. A cynic is a guy who is still wondering wdiy the Virgin Islands were given to the Navey to protect. The height of good luck — a trombone player with epi- leptic fits. What is the conclusion to this bet? Before going auto riding, a certain young lady bet her bashful sweetie a pound of tobacco against a box of candy that she wouldn ' t pet, and then asked him what kind of tobacco he liked. Even a cow will agree that it ' s a wise calf that knows its own fodder. Woman was the last thing made by God. The product shows both his experience and His fatigue. A middle-aged man is one who has quit growing on either end, but continues to grow in the middle. A monkey may cut off his tail, but he is still a monkey. Don ' t take life too se- riously — you ' ll never get out of it alive, anyway. While seeing his long, tall girl home one dark night, the short, little man (namely, Jimmie) asked for a kiss. Gaining consent, he led her up to a big rock along the road, upon which he climbed the better to reach his sweet mamma ' s lips. As they neared home he begged for just another kiss. But she consistently refused. Finally he stopped short and said disgustedly : Well, then, I ' m darned if I ' m going to carry this rock any farther.

With great care and with intense pride, we, after long and serious consideration, have picked a championship team for the nationally universal game, African dominoes. Line-up : Menefee, Johnson, Lackey, Buckowy, and Cunningham. Advice to the StaflF of 1930 Don ' t worry about begin- ning the work until Feb- ruary. Work on the Annual in the spring, so you won ' t be lonesome. If you come out in the hole, pay the deficit from your own pocket. It has been known, and you took the job, didn ' t you? Don ' t try to collect until the last of May. All dues are ready at any time. Have your life insured and your name against slander before the Annual comes out. Don ' t ask for any cuts. The prof ' s will watch you closer. No work on the editor ' s part is required. Students are so willing to lend ideas that you have only to copy them and turn them in. Don ' t try to cut expenses. Mr. Cash may find a philan- thropist some day. 124 Etiquette Hints In carving, should a bird slip from the table, do not appear covered with confu- sion, although you may be covered with gravy. Eat with the knife, unless otherwise instructed. If you have three or four pieces of silver left, quietly slip them into your pocket. Don ' t fail to place your napkin under the chin. If you drop a bite on the floor, pick it up. You might slip on it and fall when you get up. Crumble your cornbread all around your plate. Eat the soup noisily, but be sure to keep in tune. Place both elbows on the table, and take up as much room as possible. If you don ' t see what you want, ask for it. Drink the water in the finger bowds.

And your rewards are few; Remember that the mighty oak Was once a nut like you! To Those Contemplating Suicide Razors pain you ; Rivers are damp ; Acids stain you, And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren ' t lawful ; Nooses give ; Gas smells awful — You might as well live. From a Modern Novel His countenance fell , His voice broke. His heart sank. His hair rose. His eyes blazed, His words burned. His blood froze — Yet he pulled himself to- gether and won the heroine. When Noah sailed the ocean blue He had his troubles, same as you ; For many days he drove the ark Before he found a place to park. Under the spreading dough- nut tree The village chestnut stands — And what a mighty nut is he. With whiskers on his hands ! And the muscles in his scrawny arms Are strong as rubber bands — He looks the whole world in the face, For he does wdioever he can. Is May at home? he asked the maid. May who? You ' ve got me guessing. Why, Maj ' onnaise, he said, and she said : Mayonnaise is dressing. CUMBERLAND COLLISIONS Grapefruit to grapefruit, Squirt to squirt ; I winked wlien it liit me, And you. called me a flirt. Friendly Advice from the Editor Lives of great men all re- mind us, As history ' s pages o ' er we ' ve turned, Letters we have left he- hind us Really ought to have been burned. If sweetheart ' s praises you would sing. You ' ll often find it better To sing them in her ear Than to write them in a letter. Sudden passions quickly cool — You ' ll wish soon to for- get her — Words die in the open air, But never in a letter. Well, this is Trevathan. Save me one for Saturday night. A Lawyer to His Last Dollar Least and last of pomp and splendor. Lonely strip of legal tender — You remain, although my bankroll ' s shot to smash ! Faithful, tried, and true and loyal, Your behavior ' s simple royal. And you represent my sole asset in cash. You ' ll assist me in a quan- d ' ry When I go to spring my laundry — Or you ' re specie for a score of street-car rides. You ' ll appease my hunger chronic — Buy a haircut, shave or tonic. Or perhaps a pack of ciga- rettes, besides. You are new and freshly painted — Not dilapidated, tainted — And j ' our loyalty entitles you to fame. It will always give me pleas- ure Just to look at you, my treasure — So I ' m going to hang you in a picture frame. Is this the Salvation Army Home? Yes. Do- you save wild wom- en? Yes. She Was Only— A math, prof ' s daughter ; but, Boy, you should see her figure ! A merchant ' s daughter, but she had the goods. A channel swimmer ' s daughter, but she knew when to come across. A tailor ' s daughter, but she cut a mean figure. A drummer girl, but she had some mean traps. A photographer ' s daugh- ter, but she had a mean ex- posure. A miner ' s daughter, but she sure got in some dirty digs. A musician ' s daughter, but she got in some swell flats. A watchmaker ' s daughter, but she has movements of her own. Silently we stood together in the darkening shadows of that November evening. After an interval that seemed like ages to me, I lowered my head to catch the sweet ordor that pervaded the cool air. I looked long and fer- vently at the well-rounded mouth, and thought of the pleasure to be found there. I could restrain myself no longer. With almost brutal eagerness, I grasped the smooth, round neck in my two hands and pressed hot lips to the moist mouth. Draining the last drop, I put down the bottle, and, chew- ing a clove, sauntered away. Modem Version of the Bal- cony Scene in Romeo and Juliet She sprang to window ; he stood below ; whereupon she coyly dropped her lids. When he picked them up and handed them back to her, she saw that he indeed was fair. Would ' st kiss me on my balcony? she said. Gadzooks! panted Ro- meo, I ' ll kiss you wherever you allow it. Will you hold it against me? Hold what? What have you? Say, what is this? From which point things moved rapidly. 126 Of course she fell for him; and as he gathered her into his arms and necked her, she breathed into his good ear: Believe me, Ro- meo, I never took a drop before.

R-a-s-p-b-e-r-r-y ? What ' s on at the show? Next? Well, now, well now, where was I? We ' ll have a test on Sat- urday ? The bell at the girls ' dor- m:tory ? Women There are women and women ; there are women who speak to you on the street and high-hat you when they ride by; there are women who high-hat you anyhow. There are women who smoke, women who almost smoke, and women who don ' t ever per- spire. There are women who chew gum in theaters and think the captain of the football team is cute. There are women who say Don ' t! and women who mean it. There are women who drink (but none in Cumberland, of course). There are women who would love to, but can ' t stay out that late. There are women who dance like fairies, and women who dance like polar bears. There are women who are beautiful and women who are dumb. There are women who are beautiful and dumb. There are ideal women — but I have never seen one ! Chilli : When is a lawyer like a donkej ' ? Billie: When he is draw- ing a conveyance. Chilli : When is a lawyer not like a horse?
