NEW NAMES (or a new school and a new annual The new name glistening upon the college gates was by no means the only different moniker on cam- pus. New names were everywhere. Bill, Bob, and Tom were as frequent on class rolls as Mary, Betty, and Sue. And even some of the girls were lucky enough to change their names. The faculty boasted many new names too. There were new names for organiza- tions and publications. Students gave up crossword puzzles for the intriguing game of you name it, FSU style. As the new look in names campaign got underway, it became obvious that a worthy project was to change the name of the annual, Flastacowo, which, for the benefit of any aliens, was the abbreviation for Florida State College for Women without the conventional use of punctuation. The first volume of Flastacowo was printed in 1910. In this edition the seniors numbering an Even dozen were complimented by a caricature and poem in addi- tion to their formal photograph. In the senior class poem this sage advice was offered: Farewell, farewell! but this I tell To thee, thou Junior batch- Count not, I say, fair ones, count not Thy chick before ' tis hatched. Other extensive literary accounts were inserted throughout the book including one whimsical version of a faculty meeting. There were pictures of every organization on cam- pus including the Loafer ' s Club, The Midnight Feast- ers, The Bandanna Tormentors and The Mary (Merry) Club composed of all the girls named Mary on cam- pus. Their motto was Drink and be Mary, aim, To be Mary and the club flower was the Mary-gold. Group shots of the biology classes proudly display- ing their woodland specimens of ferns and grass- hoppers enlivened the pages. The Flastacowo ' s predecessor of the FSC era was called The Argo. Less extensive in its scope, the pub- lication had a quaint habit of labeling class photo- graphs a group of students. An interesting aspect of the organizations section was a group called the Twosing Club, composed of all the steadies on campus. Other definite evidences of coeducation of that period were given in the sports department. Foot- ball, baseball, basketball, tennis and golf were the outstanding activities. With this sturdy background FSU ' s new annual joined the chase with the resounding cry of TALLY- HO!

IN MEMORIAM It is taught that once a man intrusted his servants with his money, giving to one five talents, to another two, and to a third, one. As it turned out, he to whom the most was intrusted made the fullest use of it. For many years there was on our campus a true example of this parable, a man who possessed many talents and used them beyond the extent of ordinary human beings. Dr. Guy Linton Diffenbaugh had the talent for teaching, through which he created an ap- preciation for scholarship, lofty and rich in its human- istic implications. As an administrator he displayed still further tal- ents: clear-sightedness and orderliness of mind, which was exemplified by everything about him from his spotlessly neat office to his accurate perception of problems amid confusion. Perhaps the most immediately obvious of all of his talents was his personal integrity of character and in- tellectual tranquility. No one ' s word was more heeded and respected on the campus. But the greatest talent is yet to be mentioned; Dr. Diffenbaugh possessed far beyond the measure of most men the talent for friendship. This was the quality which pervaded his ability as a teacher, as an administrator and gave meaning to the expression, Gentleman-scholar. So has Dr. Diffenbaugh employed his talents that they will continue to enrich our campus with dignity, courtesy and learning throughout the years. About us will remain the evidence of the ten-fold return of the talents of a great man.
