In the midst of her success we have the greatest Senior Class, buildings under construction, and altogether a bright and prosperous outlook for the future of our Alma Mater. In this volume of the LASSO we have tried to represent all College activities as completely and fairly as possible. If anything has been left out of these pages, such has not been our intention. The beasts of burden have no thought for the future nor reflections from the past. . . . It is man alone that cherishes the memory of his own youth, the days and years of growth and plans and dreams. It is to satisfy this human attribute that the volume before you has been pre- pared. If in the future this Lasso is a reminder of the friend- ships and associations, or the good old days in dear H. P. C., and if it adds tone to a busy life and real enjoyment in times of reminiscence, if you find it a source of inspiration and pleasure, the labor entailed in its compilation will be forgotten. —The Staff. 19 The Lasso =- __1921= Page Ter, Adm inistmtion BOOK ONE Tfie Lasso — Board of Directors T.

I read from its pages as from a book, Of the beauties of life so dear. In the crystal pool below The gamest fish were trying Thru the rapids above to go With efforts never dying. Not content with just what came by, They sought after the best, Often failing, but never a sigh As they worked for their quest. 1 thought of the Fish of H. P. C. As I saw these hard-won fights, And of the things that are to be, As I looked upon these sights. Thru the constant struggle and strife, The Fish, never quaking, Their way thru the rapids called Life Are steadily making. Struggling and striving every hour, Grasping strongly each new thought, Seeking a high ideal and greater power To make men stare at things they wrought. —By Fort Keith.

Frank Christian, Jr. Academy Building Dedication L o 1 Life’s Progress ig ROGRESS is the genius and hope of human life. The pillar °f cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night are the sub- wu SK. lime possibilities in manhood and womanhood. They are s r the abiding friends of the hard and perilous journey, but prophesy victory and the land of promise. The acorn is held in the hand of the child and he wonders about its mystery; then drops it and presses it with his foot into the ground. A few years have come and gone, and now stands a stalwart man upon that same soil. He has been upon the battlefields in answer to the calls of patriotism, and now proudly wears the mark of courage and manhood. His eyes have the flash of lightning in them, and his voice carries the thunders in its commands. His will rules the thousands like a King. Now he stands under the shadow of a gigantic oak which has braved the storms of many winters and fur- nished shelter and delight through the trying heat of summer. It is now being sacrificed in the building of the palace of the King or in the con- struction of a mighty ship. The oak is the acorn, and the soldier is the boy who, with his foot pressed the acorn into the ground. Progress is the explanation of this marvelous transformation. The helpless infant is the Kingly man, the little acorn is the forest giant; this is the startling yet familiar reality. Familiarity has banished wonder and silenced the teacher. Progress is the hope and joy of manhood, and the dignity and glory of life. Progress of manhood is the center around which the very world revolves. Progress or growth is the divine law of all life. This law is the ruling principle both in the natural and the spiritual world. This law meets with reverses and temporary backward movements, but the time and the seasons fix the buds, and open the blossom, and ripen the luscious fruit. There must be forward movements to bring about the development of a life. Contentment never gets you anywhere. Satisfaction with past achievements is the mother of death. The genius of Tharwaldsen passed from him when he finished the statue that satisfied him. The desire of the writer is that the divine principle of progress may be the slogan of the Academy which shall inspire everyone of you to ob- tain your degree from dear old Howard Payne. —A Friend.

Richardson President Cleo Morman Secretary Gordon Ward Amanda Eastland President Secretary The Lasso —, Tine Lasso =n The Lasso The Insite on the Outlook of the Academy Class of ’25 ON the spring of 1925 as I entered New York harbor, I was feel- ing very blue and lonely in that large city, when I felt someone gently place a hand on my shoulder. Turning, I recognized my old Howard Payne friend, Mary Joe Lake. We went from the harbor to a beautiful front building and there we went to her apartments. After having rested for awhile we began to talk over old H. P. days. “You haven’t told me what you are doing here all alone, Mary Joe; I’ve been gone so long, I’ve completely lost track of all the seniors of 1921.” “I—Oh! I’m here now as a model for one of New York’s famous artists; you could never guess who the artist is. Well, it is our classmate, Carlton Woodward. He ’s one of New York’s greatest painters, and I suppose you knew that he and Bess Landreth married in 1922. They have a very comfortable little home. We also have another match made from that old class of ’21. Bill and Era are newlyweds, and seem very happy. Bill is one of the Red Sox and makes a hit at every game. By the way, I may tell you something else you did not know. I ran upon another one of our pals in California last summer, Athalee Moon. She is the little wife of Herbert Mims on an orange farm. I hear they don’t agree very well, but you know there is always trouble in the best of families.” As it was time for my train to West Texas, Mary Joe told me good-bye and I was on my way home. I took a Pullman through to Brownwood. I sat beside a very kind man and he seemed lonely, so we started a con- versation. During the conversation I asked where he was educated. His answer was “Howard Payne College.” I then recognized Mr. J. M. Cooper. “My, how you have changed! And where do you live now?” “Oh, I live where I hang my hat, but it is always hung in China, as I am a missionary now, making quite a success, too, I think. I had five hundred conversions in one month. There are two other girls from our class in the Orient: Loleta Lawson and Callie Rose Maddox. They are quite the favorites among the natives.” “Do you ever hear of Helen Tyler and Alyne Joyce?” I asked. “Yes, yes. And their life is quite worldly now. They are both toe-danc- ers in a Majestic circuit in Paris, France.” 1921 The Lasso As we neared the city of Ballinger the train became very crowded; a fine looking man took the seat opposite me, and after some moments of silence said: “Beg pardon, but were you ever in Brownwood ?” “Why, yes, I finished there in the class of '21 at Howard Payne; why “Why, I, too, finished there. Don’t you recognize your classmate, James Hayes? I’m now a salesman for one of the largest firms in Texas, and can you believe it, it is owned by Earl Barr, Homer Starnes and Ward Evans? They are making millions of dollars. There are several others in the firm from our class. Agnes Phillips is the designer and Lois Jacks is the lady manager. You know the world is full of surprises. I suppose you have seen Doris Mallow?” “No, I have not heard of her for ages.” “Do you recognize that lady in the far end of the car? And by the way, I see Zourah Lacy and her husband. I’ll just tell you all about them. Doris is the agent for aeroplanes for the firm of McKinzie Queinsberry. They have a manufacturing plant that’s quite up to date, and Zourah is so happy over capturing her wealthy oil man that I quite doubt her rec- ognizing you.” By this time the train had pulled into Coleman, where both my friends said good-bye. I traveled as far as Santa Anna alone, but as the train pulled into the station, hearing many voices I went to the window to find what the dis- turbance was, and to my surprise I looked into the face of my old class- mate, Eva Louise Fisher. Judging from the signs and badges, she was one of the largest suffragettes in Texas. Well, anyway, I enjoyed the ride with her and also learned a lot of very interesting news. “I suppose you have heard that Clara Highsmith at last reached her highest aim and got her M-R-S. degree?” “Pray tell me, Louise, who did Clara marry?” “Oh, she and Allen Bell were at last united and seem very happy. He is making a fine editor for the Bulletin and I sincerely hope he can use some of the information he has gained by reading ‘Whiz Bang.’ ” “My! but this is quite a shock to me—and can you tell me anything about Latitia Shelton? You know she and I were very close friends, but I can’t hear from her any way I try.” “Oh, Latitia, poor child, I do feel sorry for her! You know she always did detest a ranch. Well, she and Gordon Ward have settled down in New Mexico on one of the largest ranches there. Oh! mercy! Here is Bangs so soon, and I didn’t know we were in miles of it. I’ll have to leave you here, but I’ll see you tomorrow.” As my train pulled into Brownwood I heard someone yell: “Car to How- ard Payne Heights!” and to my surprise I recognized Lawrence Hays. Page Ninety-one 1921 lady principal “Have you been to the girls’ dormitory since the new took charge?” “Why, no, I believe not. How do the girls like her?” “Oh, fine. But why shouldn’t they. Edelle Cox of our class is in charge and she is carrying out all her girlhood plans about the privileges she would give, but she is making quite a success. There are still some others from our class who are teachers; in fact, there are four. Fannie Ratto and Pensie Nixon are high school teachers and are doing fine; then Willie Mae Ghormley is teaching domestic art and Vada Spangler took Miss Hobgood’s place. Well, here we are. You will find that things look quite differently.” The next morning at ten o’clock I was in the chapel waiting for Dr. Mims to enter, but to my surprise who should take charge of the chapel service but Joe Floyd, the new president of Howard Payne College. He made a short, interesting speech and introduced the new pastor of the First Baptist Church, who was Etheridge Brazil, and his wife, Molly Mills, both old classmates. After chapel Joe Floyd and I had a talk on our favorite subject, the class of ’21. “You've been gone for quite a while, haven’t you?” I answered in the affirmative. “Well, could you guess who has charge of Coggin Avenue now?” “No, who has been so fortunate?” “Oliver Burns and his sweet little wife, Mary Roach. She is quite a faithful worker in the church; then, too, she has several helpers—Lillian Burleson and Minnie Bell McCauley.” After chapel I left and started to town. On my way down I met Nell Barton and Irene May going to College. The only “stickers” of our class and they were college seniors that year. As I neared town I saw the advertisements of a big circus, and not being rushed for time, I stopped to notice them. They read: “Richard Barton’s Circus, the largest in the world, will be in Brownwood Tuesday.” Who would ever think of Dick Barton as being the manager of a circus? It seemed so impossible to me that I decided to go back that night and see if it was the same boy who graduated in 1921. That night as I walked into the main show, I saw several signs and was wondering where to go first, when I saw a poster in large letters: “Madam Prude, Palmist.” I entered and waited quite awhile, as she was busily engaged with many lovers who would know their future. At last I was admitted. At first she did not recognize me. After that there was no more palm reading, for Marie and I spent the time talking about the circus. “Do you see that girl in the Wild West show?” she asked. “Well, that is Ida Small, our famous Rodeo girl. Dick Barton is manager of the cir- cus and there are several others taking part, too.” I looked at my watch and finding it to be almost ten, I hurried back to the dormitory, for I had to be there in time to get the girls to bed. Me? Well, I’m assistant matron of Howard Payne Hall. The Lasso--- Page Ninety-five e Lasso The West Dr. Edward Everett Dale Men look to the East for the dawning things, For the light of a rising sun; But they look to the West, the crimson West, For the things that are done, are done. The Eastward sun is a new-made hope, out Of the dark of the night distilled; But the Westward sun is a sunset sun, The sun of a hope fulfilled. So out of the East they have always come, The cradle that saw the birth of all the Heart-warm hopes of man, Of all the hopes of earth. For out of the East, a Christ arose, and out Of the East there gleamed The dearest dream and the clearest dream That ever a prophet dreamed.

Howard Payne College has the very latest type of expensive office equipment for its students. In the department of Stenography and Typewriting, a supply of the latest models of new standard typewriters is available, with various devices to facilitate a mastery of the touch system and absolute accuracy in copying and transcription. The Dictaphone will be installed for the purpose of giving constant dictation during the day to both shorthand and typewrit- ing classes. On account of this machine the instructors are able to spend more time in correction of students’ errors. The Dictaphone is being in- troduced into all modern offices, and students who can use it are in great demand. In manifold work, the students have the use of the best type of Multigraph, a mechanical typesetting, multiple typewriter that does the most beautiful work in large quantities, and with great rapidity. Also the Mimeograph, a stencil copying machine for ordinary manifold work. Stenographic students are given practical training in the business offices of the institution. Students training themselves for the reporting pro- fession, have abundant opportunity for practice in the chapel services of the College. Bookkeeping and banking students have an up-to-date bank, with its various bound ledgers. They are also trained in the use of the Burroughs Duplex Adding Machine and also the late model Rapid Calculator, which adds, subtracts, multiplies, divides, computes interest, and works frac- This department is taught and managed by men of practical experience and who have had thirty years of experience as teachers. The mechanical equipment of this College is worth many times the en- tire furniture and equipment of the average business college. 1 — —1921 - iiftiaii� iaiiiHiiiaMWWMMMiK i'i:l'.Ti,- Fine Arts BOOK FIVE — The Lasso GLEE CLUB ROLL (.Left to Right) Hundred Nineteen Madrigal Sisters’ Quartette Ellie Honea, Contralto Mary Honea, Soprano Juel Ray, Contralto Adelle Ray, Soprano 1921=- Chandler, Christine Cravens, Juanita 1=1921 Lewis, Gyrlee Lancaster, Gladys Parks, Katie Myrl Sift Wright, Mattie Wood, Mrs. J.

With gKWWlj-mM that in mind the Scrubs were out every afternoon ready to engage in the scrimmage that is essential to put out a first «4 team of the winning class. Yet the average student and football supporter never realize the value and credit due to a scrub eleven of a college gridiron—they being the fundamental cause by which the var- sity eleven passes from practice into a team of perfection. Many men come to college that did not have advantage of playing on a high school team. Of course there are some that have some knowledge of the game and there are others that never saw a football. If they are lovers of athletics, surely they enter the game, and from where must they start? They must first make the scrub eleven, and if they develop into good players and show up well they are given a chance to make first team This year when the call for football men was announced there was a larger number of second team men out than usual. Most every afternoon, rain or shine, found these men out working diligently. There was little encouragement in the scrimmages with the first team and seeing just how well some new play would work that they were trying out. Slowly but surely they were gaining the practical experience and knowledge that is essential to every good football player. From these men the places will be filled on the team next fall, left va- cant by men that have finished and those that will not return. The scrubs are equally due to the honor and credit received by the Yellow Jackets during the past season. — The Lasso Coach J.

In view of these consequences we have in our college four well developed lit- erary organizations which are doing much for the young men and women of our institution along the lines of public speaking and parliamentary proceedings. These organiza- tions are Philo-Philian and Phila-JSH, working as one unit and Theodorics and Irvings working as one organized There is a great deal of friendly rivalry between these societies, and every year the boys are entangled in two de- bates and the girls in one. The manifestation of pep is the chief factor. The high degree of excellency of the speakers is brought about by the training that they receive in their weekly meetings. Any student may become a mem- ber of the literary organization, of his or her choice and will receive many opportunities to equip themselves to meet the battles in the political and social life. An excellent opportunity is offered to each boy and girl and no student should go through college without belonging to one of these literary organizations.
