Some people think that a senior class signifies that the members have obtained an education that g'ves them the edge over the old settlers, but in the heart of every college graduate there is the knowledge that the old settlers have battled life's most difficult problems, and are better prepared, at the time of graduation, than the graduate. Thus there is a job ahead—that of learning how to battle life in a winning manner. Taking the class alphabetically, you notice that the personnel of the class is made up of West Texas, and Texas men and women that are for Texas, 100%. Jack Agee comes from Hieo, Texas, and is a graduate of the Ilico High School, and Tarleton College. Mina Ayers is practically a local product, coming from Rising Star. She has had four veal’s in the college. Trill Bailey and Fern Brock are local products, both living in Brownwood. H. G. L. Bushby and Lewis Cooper are two more Brownwood boys, and old heads in the class. Mrs. Gladys Cromeans is from Barksdale, and has spent a greater part of her college days in summer work. FrankLn Ktheredge is a typical West Texas patriot of Rotan, Texas. He has had at least six years here. J. W. Edgar is from Burnet. Texas, and a true member to the senior class. He has assisted the bursar while here. Vada Floyd is another Brownwood product, and a dependable and popular member. Hamilton Gayden comes from Brownwood, and he also has been around the college about six years. Verlan Geeo, of Dallas, is our smallest senior, among the male species, but very loud, and for Howard Payne first. Shelby Jobes is a true Jacket, of Junction, where many of our best students come. He has made a reputation here. Doc and Mrs. Peeples are two more loyal students, living in Brownwood, and the type that make II. P. C. what it is. Carl Kelly is one of our smartest students, being President of the learned society of the Lincoln Society. G. C. Ivans, the senior class' chief pessimist, is another good student, coming from Burleson College, and Linden. Oren C. Reid and wife are the back-bone of our class, because of their generous views, and democratic ideals. They are from Junction, where Howard Payne is well planted. Ruth Whitehead, another Brownwood product, and our secretary, is well worth her salt. O. C. Karkalits, Charlotte Nolte, and Dewey Ray are all local products, and Seniors to be proud of.

WILSON THE LASSO It’s of very little importance When heard, spoken, or seen; It seems of small significance, The word, Lasso, I mean. But this word has a special meaning To the Howard Payne boy or girl, For to us it means a treasure, A gem, a priceless pearl. Usually when we hear “Lasso”, We think of a string of hemp, But ask a student what he thinks. He’ll say, Our past record, Simp”. Most surely we know the power This material Lasso holds, But the pleasant memory this Lasso leaves Is a student’s pot of gold. Ode to Our Dean To thee, O Dean Taylor, a mighty learned man, We seniors sing praises loud and sweet! There may be others that can surpass thy deeds, But we have them as yet to meet! No beauty has Nature’s crafty works Placed upon thy manly brow; But it’s not the outside that solves the quiz, For it comes from within—and HOW! This ode may sound as meant as a joke, Because of the language used therein, But devotion and love for our Dean is the theme, And the Seniors hold it aloft. Amen! COLLEGE YEAR The Treble Clef Club THE Treble Clef Club, made up of the cream of the musical talent of Howard Payne College, is one of the finest in the South. Mr. Cameron Marshall, the Director, cannot be given too much praise for the wonderful repertoire he selects, and the selection of voices for the club. Last year the club made a trip over the northern part of the State, winding their tour into a wonderful exhibition at the musical department of the West Texas Chamber of.Commerce at Wichita Falls. The club won first place there, winning over some of the best organizations in the State. The gala performance of the year was the Annual Howard Payne Minstrel, given by the club, combined with the Hoys’ Glee Club. Wonderful music, with touches of old Spain and the Sunny South, brought the audience into a wonderful receptive mood. At the present time, with beautiful and new costumes, the club is preparing for another trip over the South Texas district for the purpose of giving Howard Payne a better name, if such is possible, and to show the people of the neighboring section that the personnel of any organization of Howard Payne College is made up of such material as would be pleasing to any community that might have boys or girls to send to a good college. Their trip this year includes Austin, Lomcta, Goldthwaite, San Antonio, Fredericksburg, Junction, Brady, Lampasas, and other cities. Howard Payne’Orchestra -------- fjp IIK Howard Payne Orchestra, under the able direction of 1 head of the violin department, has done a great deal in the this year. Although the orchestra did not give any concerts this y greatly in other ways. HOWARD Payne went a long way to got an instructor in violin for the school year of 1927-28, when they hired Miss Madeline Mader of Nova Scotia, but they certainly did not make a bad choice when they selected Miss Mader because she is well versed in music and is one of the best violin players ever to be heard in this city. Not only is Miss Mader violin instructor, but she also is director of the Howard Payne orchestra. She is a good director and the orchestra has made great progress under her leadership. Miss Mader was very popular among the students and made many friends, although it was amusing to the students to hear her talk at first. She has a great sense of humor, which made a great number of friends for her. Voice HU Journalism Lasso Staff THE Lasso Staff have done their best to put out a good book, and with the exception of a few errors, that possibly could have been prevented, be- lieve they have accomplished their aim. The staff has been a willin'; one, and performed their duties faithfully, no matter how much work the Editor put upon them. The Editor and Business Manager have likewise done their task faithfully, and without boasting, believe that they have published a good book. It has, at least, been their aim to publish a good book, and they have done all of their work with that aim before them. Lasso Staff T. R. Havens. Debate me 1928 ePdssd 1925 Dramatics The Howard Payne Octette THE Howard Payne Octette, the first of its kind to ever grace the college, is a musical organization of talent, ever inspired by its director, Mr. Cameron Marshall, to give the best for its audience. With such tenors as Morgan Hall; such bass as Broadus Smith, and such baritone as Lloyd Nixon, mixed with the other voices of the club. Mr. Marshall has an organization that gives harmony, whether the music be classical, or popular. The Octette made its initial, and best showing of the year at the time of the Howard Payne Minstrel. Dressed to suit the occasion in tuxedos, they made a hit with the audience that has caused the people to watch for their appearance in any of the musical events of the year.

Always jolly, but devoted to his work, he pushes forward for all the better things. An enemy for Cap in Howard Payne is something out of the ordinary, and the expression of “Dang right” has become the slogan of almost all of the athletes, because of the use of such by J. Horace, himself. There is no worry of losing him next year, so we can safely wish him and the scrubs well, with hopes of winning all the games next season. J. Horace (Cap) Shelton Scrub Coach and Athletic Manager Escal Di ke Foo I ball Man age r Duke, the boy from Alabam, is the type of manager that any football coach can smile over. He is a hard worker, and full aware of the responsibilities that he has as manager. Hood natured, friendly, a Demo- crat, and for the good of any move that means a better Howard Payne, Duke is the friend of all that know him. His loyalty to the coaches and the teams is of the highest, and we all want Duke to know that we appreciate him for full value. He will probably be on the job for two years more, so some coaeh is going to he lucky to find such a manager awaiting their arrival. mimm m §i i '9he ETHERIDGE Etheridge played his third and last year for the -Jackets, and showed the same determination to win that has made him such a football man. lie is fast, heavy, and a fighter. He will be sorely missed next year. Willis played a type of football this season that almost landed him an All- Conference place. A sure tackier, always playing the game, and ever depend- able, he has his best year ahead of him. Jimmy made the stands roar more than once this year on his ability to back up the line, an l to smash over for the needed yardage. He, too, was named for the Conference team, and should land the place next year. FRED CAWTHON, DAMON HICKS. EOD DETTIS. Full-back, Guard, Guard. Temple, Texas. Miles, Texas. May. Texas. CAWTHON “Pete” did not bit his stride this year, though he has proved his ability at Temple High School. He is a fighter, hard hitter, and knows the game. He should make somebody step next fall. HICKS Damon played his first varsity football this year, and played a good game all the year. His inexperience was the only drawback this year, ami with a season tucked under his belt, he will prove his colors this next season. DETTIS Bob proved to be a fighter, and a man that upheld every tradition that is dear to the Jackets, lie has the ability and plays every moment he is on the grid, (treat things are expected of him next year.

Hut he gave the situation one look, rolled up his sleeves and dived into the new prospects with much vigor, and as a result, turned out one of the best basket ball teams that the Jackets have had for several seasons. ('apt. Hodges. Alt.-Capt. Hicks and Hill Wright were the only lettermen back from last year’s team, and around these three, and especially the first two was the 1928 team built. Captain Hodges, who was playing his third year as a member of the Yellow Jackets basket ball team, is one of the best standing guards in the Texas con- ference, having made the All-Mythical five in 1926, along with Butcher and Nunally, former Yellow Jacket basketcer stars. Hodges had one of the best seasons this year that he has ever known, having to do most of the defensive work for the Jackets, which only caused him to play better. Hicks, although not a regular before this season, was in the starting line-up in practically every game of the season, and played the best brand of ball he Page 150 Basket Ball Season has played since coming to Howard Payne. He should develop into one of the best forwards in the conference next year. Mill Wright, although not a regular starter, played his best brand of ball this season, and like flicks, should develop into a good player. With the exception of the three mentioned above, the team was composed of new men, not all freshmen, but men who were on the varsity squad for the first time. Of the new material that coach C'heaney had on hand and developed along with Hodges. Hicks and Wright, probably the most outstanding were Marcheck, Gibbs, Gilchrist, Hudspeth and Cagle. All of these were freshmen with the exception of Cagle, and he. with the others displayed a nice brand of ball, and will, no doubt, develop into a group of fine players before they have finished their college career. The Jackets had only mediocre success, as far as the games won are con- cerned. but they have had great success when one considers the type of team that Coach Cheaney had. which was composed of first year men, with only three exceptions. But, taken as a whole, the Yellow Jacket basket ball team of the 192S season was a good one. It was a team that could hit the basket, pass the ball, and certainly could hustle. It was the fight that the team had. that kept them going as long as they did. Although a team composed largely of raw material, the Jackets fought for the good of Howard Payne, and not for self alone. They had but one thing uppermost in their minds, and that was to win for their Alma Mater. Not losing a man by graduation, but with prospects of every member of the squad returning for another season, the Jackets, in their 1929 season, should set fire to all contenders for conference honors. ilSHtir WELDON GILCHRIST BUCK GIBBS PETE MARECEK PAT CAGLE GILCHRIST “Gil started the season at renter hut was wisely shifted to forward, where he proved to he what we needed. He is a consistent player, with plenty of fight and the grit to stay in there and fight. GIBBS Buck is one of the best guards in the Conference. He is shifty, hard to stay with, and has plenty of durability. This can he vouched for by the Cow-hands. They just couldn’t take him out. MARECEK Pete held the center's job down in good style, and was always among the high point men of the game. His eyes handicapped him. but he was the best in the game, regardless. CAGLE Pat. the Irishman of Alabama, played the game with all he had to put into it, and lie gave all he had to the team. He is a true fighting Jacket. The Season keenly felt, not because the new material were not trying, but lack of experience was the chief drawback to the team. As the season passed, the Jackets met tho Oklahoma Teachers and showed a good brand of early season basket ball, but lost both contests. Then came the Conference games, first with Simmons, here. Working hard and playing the game every moment, the Jackets won the first contest by a close score, and lost the other by about the same margin. Then the Pirates came down and we split two games with them. On the road is where the Jackets lost their Conference standing and prestige. They won only one game of renown on their trips, that being against the Saints at Austin. BETTIS Bob is new to the basket ball game, but has tried hard to make a success. He will be better as the seasons pass, and as he is another '‘fish he will have ample time to make the grade. HUDSPETH “Iludsy . usually consistent in his game, had good days, and bad days on the court. He is a good shot, and a fair court man, and with the experience of the year under his belt, his next three are due to be good ones. He is a “fish”. WRIGHT Bill is a very dependable man, always ready to give his best. He is one of the three letter men back from last year, and will have one more year with the Jackets. Bill sets an example for all those who want to be real Jackets. FIELDS Jimmy was handicapped with a bad shoulder as a result of his football season but regardless, played a hard game, and he is always a hustler. Jimmy will be back with the Jackets next year, and barring accidents, should have his best season. The Season (Concluded) All in all. there is nothing to regret about the season, for the entire squad will come Imek for next season, and having played together, and also being better acquainted with the Jackets and their methods, the team should finish high. Clean playing, hard fighting and sportsmanship mark the achievements of the 1928 Jackets and that is something that not every team in the Conference can talk about. May the very best wishes and all the luck in the world go with Coach Cheney and his coming basket ball team, is the wish of the Editor and staff, for there are none that love Howard Payne and her teams as they do. Fight! Jackets, Fight! Scrub Season TIK Yellow Jacket scrub lmsket ball team for the 1928 season was one of the best ever, winning ten games of eleven played. The only game that was lost was to Gustine High School, at the first of the season, with only one point difference in the score. Of course, the Scrubs never get much credit for the work that they do, but it is as Coach Amis says, if there were no Scrubs, there would be no Varsity. This statement is very true, because it is the scrubs that battle the varsity teams day after day, not one team a day but both of them. Although there were six men who finished the season with the Scrubs, many others played with the Scrubs sometime during the season, and were either shifted to the varsity or quit reporting for basket ball. The six that finished the season with the Scrubs were faithful unto the end, and were always ready to do what Coach Cheaney asked them to do, whether The ones that played throughout the season and ended with the Scrubs were, Sandcrlin, Ramsour, Brown. Canady, LeSuer and Sivells. if iris. The Track Season THE Jacket track team, having five letter men from last year's squad to use as a nucleus began work in January with Conference honors an a goal. Led by Captain Vie Urban, the tracksters have a leader that is capable of hold- ing his own with any of the discus men of the land. In the Conference meet held here last May, Urban broke his own record in the discus throw with a heave of 146 feet six inches. This record was fifth in the United States. Besides be- ing a discus thrower, Vic can run the 440 and 100 yard dash in good time. Other letter men to return were: McCarver, who won the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and placed second in the 220 low hurdles in the Conference meet; Peoples, a hurdler; Jobes weights; Agee, who won the Conference high jump, and placed third in the pole vault. This season the team has many good trips in store with good opposition in each one. Meets have have been arranged with Tarlcton, San Marcos Teachers, Simmons, Southwestern, Texas relays, Itice Relays, and a possibility of the Kan- sas relays. All of the meets will be held on foreign fields with the exception of the Southwestern meet. Of the new material that showed up for the track squad, a brilliant array of high school stars mark up for their share in honors. Cates, of Rochelle High, and winner of the 440 yard dash at the State meet last year; Fisher, of Mullin. and winner of the. high jump at the State meet last year: Key, of Anson and a good man at any of the races; Clark, who has turned out to be a real find in the mile; Hall, of Brady, a good two mile man; and many others made their appear- meTaIs6 1925 The Track Season (Concluded) ance and j ut their shoulders together to aid the Jackets in capturing such honors that could he won. At the Texas Relays the Jackets placed their strength against the best in the land, and won second in the College medley relay, third in the college mile relay, and Captain Urban won third in the discus. Both the relay races were new records for the first place winners. The new men, Cates, Key, and last year's holdover—Harrold, proved their metal. The Tarlcton meet on March 31st was a good one, the Jackets winning with TO1 ■_ points to 49Vi� - Captain Urban was high point man with 17Vi points. He won the Javelin, discus, second in the broad jump, and was a member of the win- ning relay team. McCarvcr won first in the hundred yard dash, tied for first in the 220 dash, won second in the 220 low hurdles. Cates won the 440. 880 and was a member of the relay team. Fisher won the high jump with a leap of fi feet 3 inches. Clark won the mile run. Agee tied for first in pole vault and won second in high jump. Many of the men won second places, and showed to good advantage. From all present indications, it seems that the Jackets should go good against all opposition from now until the last meet at the Conference at Simmons next May. 1 Page 159 j 4 I h j[ NOTLEY HARRELL Dashes.

The members of the squad were chosen according to a standard, and each proved her ability as a true Yellow Jacket. The Pep Squad, under the leadership of Misses Sparks and Knox gave the football fans an eyeful of clean, wholesome pep and stunts, and their appearance at the Thanksgiving game at Simmons has been the talk of West Texas ever since. This organization is a living one, and as each year passes, the squad will have accomplished more than the preceding one. Next year, with many of the same members back to form a nucleus for the squad, the pep will have a double advantage over the last one. The school is back of the girls and so is the town. May their future hold all of the fruits of the past experience, along with the whole hearted desire to do something bigger and better for the welfare of Howard Payne! StteTSsso,. 1928 7 he Qirls’ Qym Class TIIK Howard Payne Girls Gym class, under the direction of Miss Antoinette Sparks, has made progress that is deserving of any class in college work. Calisthenics, vigorously given and taken, is the main activity in the class, and many of the rosy cheeks and healthy appearances of the different campus beauties is from this class’ work, instead of the usual application of cosmetics. Women’s athletics in college have not fared as well as they should, due to the apparent luxurious life that most of the fairer sex are trying to lead, but Howard Payne has very luckily escaped this class, and all of the girls are willing to do a man’s work, even more so than most of our men. May the good work continue! The Qirls’ Basket Ball TI'II cries and howls from a fighting mad sideline, and hairpulling and nail-clawing from the court, the Howard Payne Co-ed basket ball team fought, dived, plunged and swept through a good season on the court. Coach Sparks, the fighting and giant coach from Alabama, told the girls what to do, and they did it. Many games were played, chiefly with high schools and rural Bettis, Allen, Brown, team played the game for all that it was worth.
