Dean has the distinction of being everything from a country boy student to thc govern- ing officer of the college. He has taught in every department and supervised m every subject. His genius is so versatile, so equally adapted to every pursuit, that in whatever he engages, you would pronounce him to have been born for that very thing alone.

The voice department has turned out some of the best artists in this section of Texas. Mr. Marshall who is at the head of the department as well as Dean of Fine Arts is unexcelled as an instructor. Not only is he known throughout Texas as having a voice of wonderful quality, but is recognized throughout the South as one of its leading singers and instructors. It is through his efforts that the leading musical attractions of the United States are brought to Brownwood. He has earned for Brownwood the title of The Musical City of the West. Each year the voice department has sponsored the College Glee Clubs. Mr. Marshall, this year, turned especial attention to a Girls ' Glee Club and some wonderful talent has been found and developed. The girls have made several public appearances and each time have made a hit. They also made a tour of South Texas. Mr. Marshall has also developed a fine Boys ' Quartette and wherever they have appeared this season they have made a hit. Camicron Marshall Page 8 , The Piano Department of Howard Payne College, due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Lyman Stanley, has for the past few years grown so rapidly and to such an extent that today it stands in the foremost rank of musical institutions in the Southwest. The enrollment in this department is very large. Special students and teachers come many miles to avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the Piano Department. Aside from the regular school terms, special attention is given each year to those desiring study during the summer months. Besides private instruction, a master class in piano playing is held twice each week, thereby affording extra time for greater accomplishment. The School of Music cannot be surpassed in its piano equipment. The College installed a new line of Baldwin grand pianos last fall in order that utmost artistic development might be accomplished in the various departments. Owing to his ability as a concert pianist, the Baldwin Company has placed Mr. Stanley on their list of artists using the Baldwin piano. This IS not only a compliment to Mr. Stanley, but to Howard Payne College in liaving a man at the head of the Piano Department holding this distinction. _ This department is still growing and through its efficient instructor It is destined to become the best in the Southwest. Lyman Stanley it The Expression Department of Howard Payne College has an excel- lent teacher this year in Miss Antoinette Sparks of Birmingham, Alabama. This is Miss Sparks ' tirst year as a teacher in Howard Payne, hut neverthe- less she has made wonderful progress with the Expression Department. From this department come all the declaimers, debaters, public speak- ers 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 hy men and women from this department of Howard Payne. This department has sponsored several plays produced by the Dramatic Club and under the able direction of Miss Sparks. Such plays as Lady Windermere ' s Fan, Kempy, and Taming of the Shrew. Miss Antoim;i ie Sparks Page 8 6 This is the first year that Mr. J. P. Bohlin has been in Howard Payne as Professor of Molin. Mr. Bohlin came from New York to Howard Payne. While in New York, Mr. Bohlin taught iolin, and he is an. excellent teacher. He has had much experience in this line of work, and is fully capable of holding the position that he does. Mr. Bohlin is also director of the Blue Devil Band, and the Howard Payne Little Symphony Orchestra. The band has made wonderful prog- ress under his leadership. He has developed an orchestra that anyone should be proud to play in. The orchestra affords the students practical experience of their instruments. Throughout the year recitals are held regularly in which the students participate, thus giving them more expe- rience on their instruments. The orchestra has appeared on different occasions and each time has made a fine impression. The department is recognized everywhere as being one of the best. Page S7 Perspective and still life drawing in pencil are as a foundation to the student who intends to teach or enter the field of commercial art. The work in water colors and oils is done from copies of masterpieces, still life, and nature. Pen and ink sketching, plastic painting, all branches of com- mercial art, and costume designing is given also a one-year course of teacher ' s training, which enables the student to teach. All seniors are required to take History of Art, China, and Novelty Decorations. ] n i; 1 H Miss Lorena Field S IJ jj Page 88 The Treble Clef Club is one of the outstanding musical organizations of Brownwood. It is under the able direction of Mr. Cameron Marshall. Each year the Club makes a tour over the state. This year the tour will be far greater than any previous one, owing to the fact that the party will consist of the Glee Club, with eight soloists, a reader, and violinist. The College quartette will also accompany them. The Club has adopted a w hite sport dress and white sweater in which to make the appearance. A. white Baldwin grand piano will also be taken on the trip. On the spring tour they will appear in Comanche, Gorman, Brecken- ridge, Coleman, Goldthwaite, San Saba, Brady, Fredericksburg, Austin, San Marcos, San Antonio, Kerrville, Junction, San Angelo and Ballinger. The personnel of the Club is as follows: Lucille Kaneaster, Brown - wood 5 Clara Halden, San Saba 5 Jennie Taylor, Brownwood j Ruth Lyons, Vernon 5 Eloise Watson, Elma Petty and Sarah Knox, Brownwood j Billy Eads, Bangs; Grace Hardy, Ola McDonald and Vada Floyd, Brownwood; Nettie Wright, Junction; Greta Winebrenner, Brownwood; Hallie Beth Scales, Gorman; Mary Katherine Boon, Lois Honea and Edna Germany, Brownwood; Elizabeth Early, violinist.

They are all private students of his, and also receive coaching in quartette work. They, both alone and with the College Quartette, have made many appearances in Brownwood. They have met with much approval in the eyes of music lovers. Having excep- tional voices for boys of their ages, Mr. Marshall is expecting great things of them. t . S-ii .,. The Howard Payne Blue Devil Band was organized the first week of the Fall term and has continued regular work throughout the entire year. Professor John Paul Bohlin, of New York, took up the work left off in the spring of 1926 by Cambell Wray and has had great success consider- ing the fact that the membership is somewhat smaller than that of last year. Former director Cambell Wray has spent the past year in a school of music in Chicago and is receiving his Master ' s Degree this Spring. The band has been prominent in the activities of the town, leading in local parades, and co-operating when duty called. To encourage the students to play in the Band, to secure students who are interested in that work, the college offers scholarships, covering the tuition, to those who meet the requirements. SB :i Page 91 |( )( Howard Payne Orchestra The Howard Payne Orchestra has done a great deal in helping make the entertainments of the year a success. It furnished music between acts, both for the Howard Payne Players and for the Shakespearean Players. Under the able direction of Mr. Bohlin it was always ready at any time with a group of good selections. The orchestra furnishes a chance for those students who are not under private instruction to get some valuable training and coaching, and those who are, have ample time and opportunity to get some worth-while practice. Who ' s Who In the great world beyond our College gates there are citizens who stand out as leaders in the many activities which make up their lives. Just so it is in our College life. There are some students to whom we owe our appreciation for their leadership in the numerous activities which we enjoy here o n the campus. A committee composed of two members of the faculty, two outstanding students and three members of the staff made the selection. The students who were selected were not told of the plan and this section will be as much a surprise to them as to the entire student body. There are, doubtless, some names which have been omitted which the reader believes should have been in- cluded. There are, perhaps, some among those selected of whom the reader does not approve, but the committee feels that the names have been selected with careful atten- tion and presents the following pages as a representative list of the leaders in Howard Payne College. 5 L;; -j;yf w WW «  MU iTiil .inMn«aj, jwi ■ y™ ' g ' — ' y ' ' ' ; ' - ' ' ' The Organization of the Students ' Association of How- ard Payne College has had as its ideals since its beginning the handling of student problems. This may be better expressed in this Way: The Students ' Association serves as a buffer, if that be necessary, between the frictions that arise between faculty and student, as well as between groups of students. The Students ' Association may receive severe criticism, but we feel that we have had a successful year under the presidency of Mr. Harvey Stanford. Pagv 107 B. S, U. Council H The B. S. U. Council (Baptist Students ' Union) is composed o£ stu- dents of the college, elected to places on the council by the student body. Its principal mission is to direct the religious activities of the college on the campus, although it does much work outside the student body, working through the Volunteer Band, Ministerial Council, and other religious organizations of the college. The members of the council hold office for a term of one year and many young men and young women are given, II , through the medium of the council, which is probably the most active organization on the campus, an opportunity to give a year of worthwhile service. The motto of the council is Every student in some religious service every Sunday. . ■ ' Press Club ■.J Travis Curtis President John Harding Vice-President Herbert Lewis Secretary Cecil Dodd George Allman Harvey Stanford GuiLA LoWREY Dana Prince Oletta Read Forrest Agee ViDA Moore Charles Dorsett Morris Richards Dave Walker Ralph Fisher John Allen Frances Armstrong Martha Wilson Mary Lee Harris Burns McAtee Florine Fox Ruby Adcock Leonora Bynum L.

All those doing work on the annual or paper are members of this club, and any others who are inter- ested in the work. The club has regular weekly meetings, taking up some special phase of work. One week is given to the annual, while the next is taken up with some discussion of the paper. We have been favored by having the leading Journalists of the college and of the town to give us special talks. It is one of the outstanding organizations of the college for development. Letters are given for work dene on the publications of the college. More interest has been shown in the work this year than ever before. ii )i John Harding Editor Jack Agee Business Mafiager GulLA LOWREY Harvey Stanford Cecil Dodd Nettie Wright Herbert Lewis Leonora Bynum Sarah Knox Myron Embrey Assistant Business Manager J.

Miss Sparks has been ably assisted in her work by Miss Maxine Lary, president of the Woman ' s Athletic Association. The work in this department may be classified in four general groups: Tennis, hiking, swimming, and horseback riding. A girl ' s basket ball team was also sponsored this year with Miss Vida Moore as coach. Although no intercollegiate games were played, much local interest was shown. Of the different activities sponsored by the Association, the Hiking Club has received the greatest support. With Queen Anderson as president, the Club has taken two or more hikes each month. The members have also purchased sweaters which carry the hiking emblem. Miss Eltrue Wash, president of the Tennis Club; Miss Imogene Lane, president of the Riding Club; and Miss Billie Eads, president of the Swimming Club, have each been capable directors in the work of their respective groups.

The Editor was often forced to call for help when the work piled up. Those who responded to that call rendered a distinct service to their college in helping to put out a creditable Annual, and incident- ally won for themselves a lasting place in the hearts of the Staff. To these, and to all others who helped to make this yearbook what it is, we take great pleasure in dedi- cating this page of The Lasso. H Club Foster Cook _ Lee Walker- President .Vice-President Page 1J,5 For three consecutive seasons the Yellow Jackets have been brilliantly and successfully coached by one of the best coaches in the state of Texas. The Yellow Jackets have shown improvement in every game that they have played since they have been under the tutorship of Coach T. B. Dad Amis Yellow Jacket supporters believe Coach Amis to be the best coach that Howard Payne has ever had, and they know that he is the superior of all Texas Conference mentors. Coach Amis ' contract as a Yellow Jacket mentor expires this ear, and it is not certain that he will be back to coach the Jackets to a championship team next fall, but it is the sincere wish of all the students and supporters that he will. Howard Payne had one of the most able assistant coaches in her history during the past season. It was an example of a former player returning to his Alma Mater to assist in developing her athletic teams. T. B. Amis Assistant Coach Joe Bailey Cheaney former star halfback on past Yellow Jacket teams, has assisted Coach Amis wonderfully well the past year in developing such won- derful athletic teams as the two coaches have put out this year. Cheaney had charge of the backfield men during the football season and devel- oped some wonderful passers, punters and runners. Cheaney could show his men ex- actly how a thing should be done, thus making it much easier for them to learn. During Cheancy ' s college days he was known as a triple threat man of the grid- iron. He climaxed his football career with a 100-yard run through the baffled de- fense of his most bitter ri a]s, the Simmons Cowbovs. ft JoH Bailey Cheaney Page 146 ' er s J. Horace (Cap) Shelton not only did excellent work as graduate manager of athletics for Howard Payne during the athletic season of 1926-27, but he coached a wonderful track team during the spring term. Coach Shelton has had much experience in this line of work, having done this kind of work for Howard Payne for the past several years. It was largely through his vast experience tha ' c he has been so successful this season. Coach Shelton also helped Coaches Amis and Cheaney during the football season. f 1 . 1 u ! I :] 8 J. Horace Shelton Student Manager John Allen certainly did his part to help the Yellow Jackets have a successful season during the past football season of 1926-27. This is the second year that Allen has acted as Student Manager of Howard Payne athletics, and he has done well both times. Besides being Student Manager, Allen played a fine season on the scrub team. He made Coacii Maguire a very valuable man. He had much trouble trying to keep the gates closed during secret practice, but he succeeded in doing so and this is indeed an accomplishment. John Allen Page 11,7 ) K f The Jacket-Pirate Qame What, lio! The mighty men, from o ' er the briny sea Came to the land of the Jackets, brave. To see what they could see. ' Tis nothin said Sir Roger, the chief, We ' ll take their thunderin ' hides. They are meat We love to eat, and throw to the lashin ' tides. So the Pirates twenty-eight with their pieces of eight Came down on the Jacket nest; Came down with a soar, while the cannon did roar O ' er the camp of the Jacket, so upset. With the cutlasses, clubs and other cruel things The Pirates landed with glee. We ' ll swarth the lubbers and skin their hides, Quoth the Pirate Captain so free. But in the Jacket camp all was quiet. Too quiet, the Pirate chieftain thought; For in years before in the days of } ' ore Quietness his defeat had brought. ' Tis no battle to fear, me lads, Quoth the man of many a war; The Jackets are scared to the white of their eyes. And will never fight no more. But now a mighty howl came from the bleachers so nigh Sir Roger and the men did ' st look back, And lo! and behold, there came so bold A whole nest of the Yellow Jackets. To arms! To arms! he cried with no mirth. A royal battle ensued; The Jackets stung them here and there Until they were blacked and blued. ' . Soon the encounter was over, A gang plank was brought by the aides. And the Pirates walked down to the foamy brine And were laid away in the shade. Now let this tale be a warning To those whom the Jackets will meet. Anyone who tries the Jackets and their hght and pep Will surely go down in defeat. — Forres . . A gee.

He was a I I good blocker, a fierce tackier, and an aggressive ball carrier. Horace played his last game for the Blue and Gold, and will be greatly missed by all who know and love him. Caldwell was chosen as second all-conference halfback. II ll Si The scrubs have had a very successful season, playing seven games and scrimmaging nineteen times with the varsity. Of the seven games played, the scrubs won four, lost two, and tied one. Coach Maguire had some fine material on the scrub team the past season, and many of them are expected to make the varsity next fall. Ray Glasscock, Captain of the Scrubs, played an excellent game at quarter, proving that he was a fine field general, and that he knew football. Nig McCarver, playing at half, turned in a good season and showed that he had the stuff to make the varsity next fall. Pie Sales played a wonderful season at full, and should make the T ' arsity with flying colors next fall. Westbrook made Coach Maguire a fine halfback during the past season, and with a little more training he should make a wonderful player. Coach Frog John Allen played a fine game at end throughout the entire season. Coach John Maguire ' s work with the Scrubs was very fine. He put his soul and body into the work, and he certainly developed a fine team, both as good sportsmen and as football players. It is with regret that Howard Payne has to see Coach Maguire leave. ■ if )( K Harvey Stanford ■ - Guard Stanford has spent his fourth and last year with the Jackets. His absence will be sorely missed. He started the season in the backfield, but later found that he could do his best work in his old position as guard. We can always count on Stanford to get his man. He is a lighter from the start until the last whistle blows. Foster Cook Right End Cook has an enviable high school and college record in football. Up until last year he had not missed a second of any game in six years. Lady Luck turned against him, however, and gave him a bad knee, which handicapped him the greater part of the season. His wing was the dread of opposing teams, and very few yards have beer gained around him. He is a fojr-letter man, and has played his last game for the Gold and Blue. Willis Hodges End All the fellows call Hodges Midnight. Midnight was re- moved from guard position to play Nunnally ' s left wing position. Midnight seldom had his wing position circled on the defense, and on offense he was equally strong. Midnight is greatly loved by all his team-mates, and he will join them again next year. He was chosen as second All-Conference end. Claude Boyd Half Back Capta ' ni-El ect Boyd was indeed a valuable man for the Jackets. He was the most consistent ground gainer on the squad, and a fierce tackier on de- fense. We are looking to Boyd to put pep into the Jacket camp next fall, and pilot them to victory. 1 1 I Page 153 Bill Wright Guard All-Conference Center Bill was a steady fighter. He snapped the ball back to a good ad- vantage on offense, and backed the line to a fare-you-well on defense. A more fierce tackier was never born. Remember the boys who won ' t be back next year, Bill, and hit ' em high, hit ' em low ! Red Jobes Tackle Second All-Conference Team I don ' t know why the Jackets call him Whiskey Pete, for he never drinks anything stronger than water. But I do know that Pete was a tower of strength at left tackle position. He gave his all for Howard Payne from beginning to end. He often came off the field with black eyes and a bloody face, but little did he care for that. Pete is alternate captain-elect for next vear. J St Page 154 Lee Walker Quart erbdck Walker played at quarterback posi- tion, and although he never was privileged with carrying the ball, he ran good interference for those who did carry it. He was a hard tackier and a good fighter. The boys call him Hermit be- cause he never associated with the girls. (They will have to change his name, now, however.) He must be very fond of books, for all he can think about is Reid. Harrolu Scott Guard A fighter and a demon from start to finish is this fellow Scott. He never failed to do his part in car- rying an opponent out of the line and opening large holes for his offense. On defense he was equally strong. The opposing team seldom gained over Scottie ' s side. He has one more season to serve with the Gold and Blue. I I 4 Page 155 Olen Sanderlin End Sanderlin is unexcelled on de- fense, and quite fair on offensive end. No player ever had more grit and determination than Pug. He was a very valuable man this year, and with a little more experience he will be as good a man as Dad .• mis could want. Pat Cagle Center Pat was a little light in weight for the line. However, he made up for that with real fight. This was Pat ' s first year on tlic Varsity, but from all indications during the past season, it will not likelv he the last. Page 156 Burns McAtee Full back Vic Urban Guard McAtee played his second and last year with the Jackets. He is a good ball carrier, and can be re- lied upon for a gain just when that gain is needed. Aside from being a valuable man in football, he is likewise one of the best baseball catchers in the Conference. It goes without saying, Mac will be sorely missed. This was Vic ' s second year out. It took him until the latter part of the season to wake up to the fact that he could play football. His opponents became as mice in thi; presence of a cat. Sting in a new place next year, Vic. Page 157 Jimmy Fields Fullback Fields came from Winters High School. He had little football ex- perience, but proved to he one ol the best men in the baclcfield. Jim was a fast man, and he often hit the center of the line for long; gains. You have three more years, Jim. Remember the slogan: For How- ard Payne My All. JiMMV ZaRAFONETIS Halfback Jimmy came to us from Brecken- ridge High School. He was a very good ball carrier, and ran good interference. With a little more exper ience and more determination, Jimmy will be a vaLiable man for Howard Payne next year. Franklin Etheridge Tackl e Etheridge played his second year on the Varsity. He has that never die spirit, which is so necessary to the making of a good football player. Etheridge loves the game, and he likes to fight for his Alma Mater. He will be there when the first whistle blows next year. Dana Prince Center This was Prince ' s first ye.ir with the Yellow Jackets. He came to us from a Junior College, and is indeed a valuable man. Prince will be here next fall to wear the gold and blue colors, and fight for his new Alma Mater. P 1 Page 159 4 II ' 1 Foster Cook Captain Guard H. H. H. H. H. H. 30 . 9 . 9 20 -23 .23 H. P 32 H.

Therefore it will be the aim of this book to give an idea of what the Yellow Jackets will likely do for the rest of the year. Howard Payne has only three letter men back from last year ' s squad. These men are Harvey Stanford, of Electra, Vic Urban, Junction, and Herman Hubby, San Angelo. The Jacket team is made around these three men. Stanford is a weight man of no mean ability, while his main event is the high jump. Harvey leaps six feet and better almost consistently. This is Harvey ' s last year on the Jackets ' track team, and he was elected captain to lead the team through a successful season. Vic Urban is one of the best if not the best weight men that has ever donned a Jacket uniform. At present he holds the Texas Conference record in both the discus and javelin. His record for the discus of 142 feet and 10 inches, and his distance for the javelin is 166 feet. He can toss the shot around 40 feet, and he is just a fair sprinter and quarter miler. Herman Hubby is a half miler that is hard to outrun. This is Hubby ' s second and last year on the Yellow Jacket squad, and he will be greatly missed from next year ' s team. He won second in the Texas Conference track meet last year. Thus far, the Jackets have been in two meets, the Texas Relays, and dual meet with John Tarleton. The Jackets scored 85 points, while the Plowboys made 34. Vic Urban was high point man of the meet with 18 points. The Jackets have three more meets besides the ones mentioned above. ! 1 : Vagi: lot Harvey Stanford, Captain — High jump, discus, high hurdles, broad jump.

It is. But what is it? College life isn ' t all logarithms and Sanskrit. The profs aren ' t all whitehaired fathers the students don ' t all wear bone-ribbed spectacles and a worried lookj a few of the fossiliferous type are found in both faculty and student body wherever you go. Perhaps you ' ll be the goat for a while. Maybe you ' ll buy a choice chapel seat for a quarter, or pay some wise-looking upper classman a small bribe because he says he can get your cuts excused. You might even be guillible enough to join the boys on a snipe hunt by moonlight and hold the bag wide open while the other fellows whistle the birds into it. Then you ' re sure to be arrested by a bogus game warden, and it may cost you a lot of remorse and worry before you pay the police sergeant a box of cigars and find the joke is on you. It may be your lot, if you ' re a Howard Payne Hall or Barn Co-ed, to find your dormitory room stacked some night 5 you ' ll find your clothes, books — all your worldly goods — piled in a heap in the middle of the room, while you have to wade through flypaper and dishpans of water to rescue your possessions. These friendly jokes at your expense serve only as a factor in devel- oping your personality and greatness. But for these you have to work. There never was, and there never will be, a royal road to achievement. But the road called work is free to all — any man may walk with im- punity over it, without one word of apology. So you find that your College life has been a training school. You have learned to live and work with the fellows, working and playing, and you alone can tell yourself how much College life was worth. Doii ' t come to College expecting a good time, but come prepared for one. LeMirage. CnOEjjE LIFE Sept. 6-7-8 — Classification and making new friends as well as greeting old ones.

You see, it is like this: My roommate has, |i in the course of a year, borrowed and ruined my best suit, and my second j] best J my books, fountain pen, my shirts and my car — but that is not the reason that I am leaving. My girl has already announced her engage- ment. I don ' t mind that, either. The head of the Science Department has told me that I wouldn ' t be a success there, but that is not why. My friends have borrowed nearly a hundred dollars, but I wouldn ' t leave on that account. I worked for three weeks on an English notebook and got a flat F, but what of that? That ' s not the reason. The end came ] yesterday. ' Dad ' and I were talking of the Thanksgiving game and he said to me, ' Claude, you played like an amateur in that game. ' There is a limit to everything, and that is something that I won ' t stand. 1 am through with this college for l ife. Doc Peeples: Agee, do you ever take any money from the cash drawer?

The other day Herman Hubby, the cow expert, bet Tuffy, the cow expertess, that she did not even know how to milk. That ' s easy, she said.

Simon Stoddard, slim, simple student, stood stark still staring sul- lenly suddenly saw Sadie Simpkins, sweet sixteen, stepping sturdily. Sam Sloane, sly sport, sat surveying surroundings sadly, saw sublime Sadie sauntering slowly. Sam, seeking Sadie, saw Sadie seated silently, so Sam swaggered softly soliciting Sadie socially. Sadie screamed slapped Sam. Soon Sam sampled Simon ' s strength. Sam, Simon struggled j Sadie shouted, strike Sam. Sam soon sped somewhere. Summer ' s sun sank slowly. Stars shone shimmeringly. Sadie Simp- kins sat strangely silent. Simon suddenly said something somewhat sur- prising. Sadie simply said, So sudden. Soon Sadie shared Simon ' s saving. So stops Simon ' s sentimental story. Travis Curtis, while taking the census last summer, had many amus- ing experiences such as the one below. How many in your family? he asked a woman one day. Five, peevishly answered the woman. Me, the old man, one kid, a cow and a cat. And what is the politics of your family? he asked. Mixed, she said shortly. I ' m a Republican, the old man is a Democrat, the kid ' s wet, the cow is dry, and the cat is a populist. =H When he Was a Frosh he entertained his wimmin with passages from the Shooting of Dan McGrew. When he was a Soph he bragged about his rating on the campus. When he was a Junior he recited free verse to her. When he was a Senior he told her dirty jokes.
