Anyway, we Seniors JU decided to give these underclassmen a treat so the boys came to school dolled up in high standing collars, derby hats and canes; the girls came as suffragettes. And believe me, brother, they were not hard to look upon. We, the Seniors, admit that we are a good looking bunch. Anyway we didn’t waste any time on classes. We went right to town and some poor unfortunate was stuck for the drinks, then another got blowed for the smokes and candy for the ladies. Then someone suggested that it would be appropriate to have our pictures ‘ ‘ took ’ so we goes over to Mr. Rogers and you see the results at the top of this page. Well, we “jazzed” around until noon and Mrs. Chad well had us over to the Dormitory for a grand and glorious feed. Believe me the gang surely got enough to eat for once in their lives. Ye editor may not be as large as the rest of us but he ate as much as any senior there, including Jack Boone and “Pooch” Wright. We all went to the Lyric after lunch and saw a dandy show, then we went home and called it a perfect day. With the exception of a few smashed hats, turned ankles, and crushed hopes there were no serious accidents. We are going to have many more SENIOR affairs before the spring term closes. There will be picnics, feeds and parties galore and at the end of every one we look forward to the next. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS First Term Murray Flack . .

The faculty of this department is one of the best equipped in the state and their work is unsurpassed. They have turned out some of the best of artists in this section of Texas. Each year the voice department has sponsored the college Glee Clubs, Mr. Marshall this year turned especial attention to a Boys’ Glee Club and some wonderful talent has been found and developed. The boys have made several public appearances and each time have made a “ hit ”. While the Girls do not have a Glee Club they have an Octette that is known all over the state, having created a sensation in musical circles last year. The voice department head has sponsored the bringing of real artists to Brownwood and our school and thus they enable the entire student body to appreciate good music. PIANO DEPARTMENT Lyman Stanley............Head of the Department Mrs. Pearl Talbot McCully Mrs. Marion Minor Allison Mrs. Edna Savage Saunders The piano department of Howard Payne College has for the past few years grown so rapidly and to such an extent that today it holds a high standing among the finest colleges of the South. All its instructors are well known in Texas and other states, both as concert pianists and teachers. They are all graduates of the most noted conservatories of music in America and have done special work, since their graduation with many of the world’s foremost pedagogues. The students upon graduation have received sufficient and thorough preparation to make them artists in every respect except in experience. This department is still growing and through its efficient faculty it is destined to become the best in the South. VIOLIN DEPARTMENT Lloyd Dunoan, B.M.............II end of Department Miss Edna Mackey Williamson..............Assistant Miss Dokothy St. Clair...........Student Assistant This completes the fourth year that Mr. Dungan has been in Howard Payne as professor of Violin. He holds the degree of Bachelor of Music from the Ochs- Eisheberg Conservatory in Berlin, Germany, and is especially fitted for the work that he does. His execution and technique are perfect and he produces the most difficult compositions with the ease and grace of an old master. Since the coming of Mr. Dungan to Howard Payne interest in the violin de- partment has steadily grown. At the present time there are sixty-eight students enrolled in this department coming from towns in all this section of the state. Mr. Dungan is assisted by Miss Williamson and Miss St. Clair both of whom have shown exceptional ability in this line of work. There is maintained in con- nection with the violin department a students’ symphony orchestra which affords the students practical experience on their instruemnts. Besides this there are held regularly throughout the year recitals in which the students participate. The more advanced students are often called upon to play at social gatherings, entertainments, and functions of like nature. The department is recognized everywhere as being one of the best. EXPRESSION DEPARTMENT Miss Billie Herring.......Head of the Department Miss Eral Thompson....................Assistant From this department come all the declaimers, debaters, public speakers, and actors. It is here that the talent of our rising young orators is developed along the right lines. Some of the best debates in college circles have been staged by men and women from this department of Howard Payne. We have public speakers galore who received their training in classes under this department. It is in these classes that the hither-to undiscovered talent is brought out and the art of standing on your feet and giving your message to some one else is the end that is accomplished. Every citizen needs this ability and training, thus we make the statement that this department, is training these students in good citizenship. There have been a number of important plays produced under the able direction of Miss Herring, such as “Clarence”, “Daddy Long Leggs”, “Seven- teen” and other plays of this type. Here we learn the art of the spoken Drama. ART DEPARTMENT Miss Lucilk Patteson........Head of Department This completes the second year that Miss Patteson has been in Howard Payne as head of the Art Department. She is a graduate and post-graduate of Baylor College and has taken special work in the Art Institute, Chicago, and the Art Students League New York. The art department is on the third floor of the Pine Arts building and is well equipped. In addition to the main studio which is furnished with the necessary tables, easels, individual lockers, casts, etc., there are three other rooms,—the burnishing room, store room for materials and a fire-proof kiln room all conveniently located. There have been about forty-five students enrolled this year in the art depart- ment, most of whom have been in the oil and water color classes. The pupils studying china-painting are required to learn to stack and fire the kiln. Besides these classes there is a splendid foundation course offered in block and perspective drawing and design preparing the student for commercial art or teaching. Last year a class in art history was organized for the purpose of studying the old masters and their works. For this a major’s credit in history is given. A year’s ■work in this class is required of all art graduates. Student Association Felton T. Wright.............................President Murray M. Flack........................Vice-President Mary Bess Herndon............................Secretary For the last three years Howard Payne has had a Student Association of which one may be justly proud. Each year the officers are elected by the student body. These officers preside at all Student Assemblies for the purpose of formu- lating plans for the student body as a whole. Every activity of the student life comes under the supervision of this Association. All college favorites and officers of the various college activities are elected by the student body. It is a self- governing plan by which the students help make their own laws aside from the faculty, with an object of better college spirit, better student welfare, and a better Howard Payne, as a slogan constantly before the minds of the students. It is with a spirit of sincere pride that the students of Howard Payne look to their year’s work of 1924. With r their time and earnest considerat student body, the efforts have been successful in the holding up of the i cherishing the t character of its Theodoric Literary Society OFFICERS Presidents....Clyde King, Arthur Floyd, Felton Wright Secretaries.....Earl Barr, Noel Woods, William Richie The Theodoric Literary Society has always had the interests of Howard Payne at heart and has continually endeavored to better the literary conditions around the campus and college. For many years this society has been the strong- hold of many great characters who have gone out into the world to make their mark. The ones who have taken their places have perpetuated their memory by continuing the work they started for the Theodorics. The Theodoric motto, “By industry we succeed”, is typical of the spirit of loyalty and perseverance that pervades every meeting and social gathering of the society. The Theodorics can always look back upon 1923-24 as one of their most prosperous years, and we are looking forward to making each year better as we grow and prosper. Irving Literary Society OFFICERS Presidents.. . .Oneita Lindsey, Mattie Wright, Ruth Hartgrave Secretaries........Patsy Brazil, Jack Alexander, Vada Floyd The Irving Literary Society in Howard Payne is a girls’ society organized for the purpose of fostering and rounding out College education; to hold up high ideals and aims; it has this motto,—To be, rather than to seem. To raise the standard of work, to more successfully advance and to solve problems that con- front College Societies, the Irving and its brother society, the Theodoric, are members of the Erosophian—Ophelian Federation of Texas, which is composed of societies of various Texas Colleges. The Society has various means and ways of fostering and rounding out the education of the students. Through the society the spiritual side of life is strengthened, the intellectual side is given study and practice for development and the social side of life is given a splendid chance to develop by giving the students encouragement to be the highest types of women. Each weekly program is begun with prayer and sacred songs. In the busi- ness proceedings and in the program the officers and members practice the rules of parliamentary law. The programs are of such a nature that they require in- terested study or practice on the part of the participant for her to render her part well. Thus in the society the girls have opportunity to practice while learning, to present to others what they are learning, and to form lasting habits of the best kind. About the last of May or the first of June, school days having come to a close, the students, to enjoy their rest and freedom, spend a few days not more than fifty miles from Brownwood on the Colorado river in a Theodoric-Irving Camp, making their friendship grips a little stronger. Philo Literary Society OFFICERS Presidents .....Earley Harris, L. P. Stark, John Jackson Secretaries.....................Joe B. Pouns, H. L. Lewis The past school year has been one of success and glory for the Philo Literary Society. There has been developed within it a spirit of co-operation and fellow- ship seldom equaled and never surpassed by any literary society in the state. There were many old members around upon whom there could be built a founda- tion for a greater society. The new members, aided by the old Philos, at once caught the Philo spirit and helped to strengthen the society. The Philos were victorious in the Mid-Winter Debate with the Theodorics. On the night of the debate every Philo was in his place and he had instilled in him that “do or die spirit”. It was indeed a glorious victory for the Philos. As has been the custom for many years the Philos of this year voted unani- mously to have a Prom. No expense or effort is being spared to make this Prom the greatest in the history of the Society. Headed by G. E. Harris and Ralph Bobo, the Prom Committee has assured the society that every student in college will be proud of the Philo Prom. And to bring the year to a close, the Philo-Phila Societies will have a camp. These camps have always been a credit to H. P. C. and the Philos pledge them- selves to make this camp the best that, has ever been had. The Phila Literary Society OFFICERS Presidents........Amanda Eastland, Marie Ray, Mary Stuart Secretaries.. .Ulis Newton, Mary Bess Herndon, Gijila Lowery The Phila Literary Society, one of the four literary societies in Howard Payne, has again had a very successful and eventful year. With our brother society, the Philo, we have had some good times and have accomplished im- portant tasks which will strengthen us for bigger things. The motto of the two societies is “BE SQUARE”. And it is each member’s daily duty to strive to reach this ideal held by the society from a traditional reputation. Each week an interesting and beneficial program is given in the Society hall. Each girl is given an opportunity to demonstrate her talents and abilities in the many different lines connected with the educational and cultural values of a literary society. Then along with the training that the society offers, many enjoyable and delightful social gatherings are held. Joint-meetings in the hall, picnics, and other outings furnish ample recreation for all of us. Then last of all comes the biggest social event of our dear old college, the annual Philo-Phila Spring Prom. It is the culmination of all that is charming and great in social affairs of the season. Baptist Students’ Union The Baptist Students’ Union stands for every phase of religious work in the college. Its object is to magnify Christianity, to make it practical, and to make Christ real to the students. The union consists of all Sunday School classes, B. Y. P. II’s, Volunteer Band, Preachers Council, Special Workers, laymen, and lay-women. The council is made up of a quorum of officers and representatives from each organization. It meets weekly at which the problems of the various organizations are worked out and plans are made for the betterment of the work. A student’s spiritual life is strengthened by being a member of this council. The students have charge of the program Thursday mornings in chapel. The council is a nucleus around which the various organizations work. The object of the B. S. U. of Howard Payne for 1924-1925 is the same as that of the South “To make our campus different”. This organization is not apart from other organizations of the college, but it embraces the whole of them and means to strengthen the lives of the individuals by making Christ first in them, these lives make up the religious organizations of the college. Howard Payne had forty-seven delegates at the B. S. U. Conven- tion at Abilene. Every member of the council attended. The B. S. U. raised $85.00 which was sent on Christmas to a missionary in China. The most elaborate affair of the year was the B. S. U. banquet which was held in the spring term. Plans were made for the following year and enthusiasm ran high for the prospect of the upbuilding of Christ’s kingdom in the Student World. PREACHERS’ COUNCIL i Coffey R. M. Hickman F. F.

Their uniforms are of blue broadcloth, made up similar to the uniforms worn by the French Blue Devils during the There are thirty-five pieces in this organization and we feel that it is capable of competing with any college band in the state. The band was always there when we had an athletic contest. They did their bit at every game. Aside from this they have made several tours and played several radio concerts. We are extremely proud of our Blue Devil Band.

It was the Scrubs who made it possible for the Yellow Jackets to play the wonderful game that they played. ing that was received from Pooch” Wright and “Cap” Shelton. Because of the large number of men out for football it is thought that the scrub team will be made a more permanent and efficient system of developing material for the varsity. Thirteen men received scrub letters this year. ?. C. 0 H. P. C. 6—CANYON NORMAL 0 Then came those worse Buffalos. Not yet recovered from the Aggie battle the Yellow Jackets traveled a day and night in search of the Buffalos, they found the herd and also found them very difficult to capture. Our men regarded them as a very rough bunch indeed, as several of the Jackets received injuries that left them unable to participate in the following games. Joe Bailey Cheaney returned a kick off for a BAYLOR U. 20— H. P. C. 6 The Baylor game found the Yellow Jackets weakened by the loss of Bissett from Injuries received in the Canyon Normal game. Captain Henderson was also disabled with a fractured arm. However the writers declare the Baylor-Howard Payne game one, if not the best exhibition of football ever displayed in Texas in many moons. It The Yellow Jackets clearly outplayed their opponents for three quarters. Howard Payne made 14 first downs to Baylors 13. McAlister was the outstanding star for the Jackets. He plowed through the line at will for good gains. The whole aggregation were fighting constantly.

Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. 18. 19. 3 Christian College at 1 J. Horace Shelton Foster Cook R. E. Henderson Coach Guard Guard Coach Shelton was confronted with an unusual situation due to the fact that we had no team last season. He was forced to take his available material and build a new team. Foster Cook, a freshman, played a wonderful game at Guard, he showed the same old fighting spirit that made him a star in football. Cook is sure to make a wonderful basket ball man next season. R. E. “Bill” Henderson received a sprained ankle at the first of the season and was out until the last few games. However, he gave a full account of him- self when he did have an opportunity to show that real old fight. Francis Butcher Forward. Wes. Gainer Center Mart Nunnaly Forward Butcher, comes to us from Ft. Worth and is a real athlete. ‘ ‘ Butch ” is a real basket ball player, he fought from the first whistle to the last, we expect great things from Butcher next year. Gainer played consistent ball at center. Although handicapped by a bad arm he never stopped that old fight. We want Gainer back next year to make a member of the best backet ball team Howard Payne has ever had. Nunley is a real forward, if you don’t believe it just watch him go, next season. We prophesy that Nunley will be a four letter man in 1924-25. Basket Ball In keeping with the growth of Howard Payne in other lines it was found necessary to build a gym- nasium this year to take care of basket ball in the college. Accordingly early in January movement was started to remodel and enlarge the west barracks so that it might be used as a gymnasium. As a result Howard Payne now has a spacious gymnasium with a basket ball coui t the equal of any in the state and a seating capacity of seven hundred and fifty. Therefore with the best of indoor facilities at his service Coach Shelton began the building up of the first basket ball team that has adequately represented Howard Payne in several years. About twenty-five men reported for practice, most of whom were inex- perienced in college basket ball. Prom this number a team was developed which though it did not win all the games, did finish with a creditable record that in- dicated the future which Howard Payne has in this Every man who lettered in basket ball this year will be back next year and these with the material which shall be drawn from the surrounding high schools for next year will make up a team that will set Howard Payne on the road for a championship within the next few years.

B. ‘DADDY” AMTS T. B. Amis, famous center of Georgia Tech’s football team of 1919, ’20 and ’21 has signed a three year contract as head coach and athletic director for the Blue and the Gold and will take up his duties in the fall when the football season opens. Amis has an enviable record in the football and coaching world. He entered Penn State in 1916 and played center on the Fresh eleven that year, this team won the Eastern freshmen championship. He served in the navy from 1917 until the end of the war. Amis entered Tech in the spring of 1919 and made the Varsity that, fall, alternating at the position of center with “Pup” Phillips, Captain Phillips left Tech the next spring and Amis graduated into the lone center of the varsity upon which he distinguished himself for his great games against Pittsburg, Center and Auburn that year. The 1920 Tech team is called by many the equal of the famous unbeaten national champions of 1917. He continued his great work the next, fall, facing Penn State, his former college, in a celebrated battle in the Polo grounds in New York. He also was one of the big stars against Rutgers on Grant Field that fall when the Tech trampled the eleven of Foster Stanford at will. Amis is due to make Howard Payne an excellent coach. His five years of playing and coaching under Alexander has taught him the rudiments and fine points of football completely, and his work under Bean and Clay in baseball and basket ball has thoroughly equipped him for coaching these sports. We are indeed glad to welcome Amis into the West, we feel that he will again prove himself to be a successful coach and a leader of men who will bring success and glory to the wearers of the Gold and Blue. Possibilities for Track Due to the fact that all our track events come after this volume goes to press it will be impossible for us to say who will make a letter and who will not. Consequently we can only give you a review of our possibilities in this branch of athletics. Howard Payne has this year two outstanding men in the abbreviated uniform, in the persons of Joe Bailey Cheaney and Harvey Stamford. We maintain that Cheaney is the greatest little sprinter in the entire Lone Star State. He is the record holder for the hundred yard dash and two-twenty dash in the T. I. A. A. Last year he lowered his own record. Cheaney is ex- pected to enter the Olympic try-outs at New Orleans. In Stamford we have an athlete of a different type. Last year he won second place in the high jump at the National high school meet at Chicago.
