WATKINS The Students Association of Howard Payne College is a Democratic organ- ization which has as its goal the advancement of Howard Payne by co-operation among the members of the faculty and the student body. To hold a position in this association is an honor, for within the hands of these members is placed the student government of the entire student body. The most characteristic quality of this association is that they have never sponsored any move that has been for anything but for the advancement of the college, or the student body. The officers of the organization are, Morriss H. Richards, Jr., President; Ben M. David, Vice-President; Maurine Bullock, Secretary. SENIORS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS FALL TERM Harde LeSueur A. J.

Senior Fay Galloway, Junior Evelyn Anderson, Senior ACADEMY Castro Elliott Hull Eads Wooten COLLEGE YEAR ATHLETICS coach, made a record unparalleled in any college in the Southwest. His football team has not been defeated in conference competition in two years, and has lost only one game out of 21 played. His basketball men have not been so successful, but have done exceptionally well considering the dearth of material. Cheaney is an old Howard Payne athlete, and really has his heart in his work. He puts forth his best efforts for the team and works as hard as any of his candidates. He is well liked by the team and the supporters, and this popularity is one of the reasons for his phenomenal success. All students are looking forward to another successful football season under Joe Bailey’s direction. McAdoo Keaton is the man responsible for building up powerful lines that have helped to carry Howard Payne to two successive undefeated championships in the Big Six. He is another old How-ard Payne athlete and, like Cheaney, came from San Marcos Academy to go to work for his Alma Mater. He has been very successful, as the team’s record for the past two years shows. Mac is quiet and unassuming, but is an able football man, and can always be depended upon to build the best possible line. Like Cheaney, he has his heart in his work, and puts forth as much effort in every day’s workout as any man on the team. He also is exceedingly popular with the men, and can always get them to put forth their best efforts. Cap Shelton has, for the third successive year, one of the strongest track teams in the state. Much of the credit for the team’s success goes to Cap, whose tireless efforts at developing new men have been well rewarded by their success on the cinder paths. His teams for the past two years have walked away with the Big Six championship. As the Athletic director, Mr. Shelton has played a major part in the work of all Yellow Jacket teams. Under his able management the financial end of the Athletic Association has been care- fully guarded, and the athletic teams have been well provided for in spite of ad- verse conditions. As Vice-President of the Texas Conference, “Darig Right” is one of the leading figures in athletics in this section. Fred has been on the campus of the college long enough to get the spirit that it takes to accomplish things. As manager of the football team, he has made good. He has fulfilled all the duties of manager to the best of his ability, and none can say that he has ever shirked any responsibility. He was always on hand when he was needed, and that was often. His loyalty to the team is un- questioned, and his efforts at co-operation met with great success. He will be back next year, and with the experience that he has gained this year, he should be even more capable of carrying on in his work. under eared texas conference champions xe football 28-2 track 28-2 i tennis doubles 2s u is.

Eleven letter men, filling every position in the starting lineup, forming the nucleus for a steady offensive and defensive machine that went through a hard ten game schedule with only two ties to mar their record. Lacking the abundant material of the preceding season, Coaches Cheaney and Keaton built around their crew of veterans an outfit that surpassed even the record made by the wrecking crew of 1928. The Jackets’ goal line was crossed only four times during the entire season. Review of the ’29 Season Cowboys Fail to Gain on Our 3 Yard Line JIMMIE FIELDS (Captain) Fullback Captain Fields, playing his last season with the Jackets, proved himself an able leader, as well as a steady performer. He was at his best on defense and as an interference runner, but was able to deliver whenever called upon to plunge the line. Tackled for a loss only once during the entire season, he established a record that is seldom equaled. His steady playing gained him a berth on the second all-conference eleven. PUG SANDERLIN (Alt. Captain) End Although one of the best defensive ends in the Conference, Pug was noted more as a fighter and leader than as a player. His steady play through the en- tire season, coupled with his influence on the team, was largely responsible for the Jackets’ success. Pug earned his fourth letter this year and will be sorely missed next year. BUS BROWN All Conference Tackle Tackle Bus was almost unanimously chosen for an all conference place, and was per- haps the outstanding lineman of the Big Six. He has weight, speed and fight and was a terror to the opposition in every game. He was a star on both offense and defense, and was seldom taken out. He earned his fourth letter and his loss will be sorely felt next season. The action picture is taken from the Simmons game and shows the Howard Payne line holding to stop a Simmons threat. Marshall, hefty Cowboy full back, was stopped for no gain on the play. Nig Bound for Simmons' Goal NIG McCARVER Half, All-Conference Nig used his great speed to advantage in piling up a flock of touchdowns that left him the leading scorer of the conference. He was second only to Cy Leland as the fastest football player in Texas. He was a good broken field runner, and his sensational runs won several games for the Jackets. He was a unanimous choice for all-conference half and most valuable man in the Big Six. JOEL GRIMLAND End Breesy Joe was shifted from tackle to end and filled his new position creditably throughout the season. He was big and fast and a natural football player, and was a valuable man on both offense and defense. He will be back next season. JOHNNIE BAKER Quarter, All-Conference Baker was not a sensational ball carrier, but earned his all-conference berth by his steady all around play. He is one of the most versatile performers that the Jackets have ever had. He is a triple threat man, a good field general, and a real artist at kicking for point after touchdown. He is to be back next season. The action picture shows Nig McCarver starting on the run that beat Simmons. Nig veered to his left and cut back through tackle, right where the mighty Pearce should have been, to get away on a 56 yard run for the only counter of the game. Buck Bound for Brownwood RAY GLASSCOCK (Captain-Elect) Center Shifted from guard at the start of the season, Ray was confronted with the task of replacing Bill Wright. He developed rapidly, and by the close of the sea- son was perhaps the best pivot man in the conference. He was named on the second all-conference team. His light weight was offset by his speed and fight, and his ability at intercepting passes saved the Jackets from several dangerous situations. Ray should have a great season as captain of the ’30 eleven. BUCK GIBBS Half Buck’s ability at ball carrying and interference running gained him a place on the second all-conference team. The Oklahoma Cyclone is big, fast, and shifty, and has lots of drive. He is a good defensive man and is particularly good at breaking up passes. He has made touchdowns on two intercepted passes, one of them being on a 98 yard run against S. M. U. Buck will t e back next season. SLOPPY SHELTON Tackle The great wrestling promoter is a good defensive tackle, and was an important cog in the machine that won the Big Six title. Sloppy is eligible for another year of competition, but probably will not be back. The action picture shows Paul Gibbs of Bristow starting out on his 98 yard run for the first touchdown of the season. The other striped jerseyed figure is Ray Glasscock, who cut down the last Mustang tackier. S. M. U. FOR A Loss BOB BETTIS Guard, All-Conference Boh was the lightest man on the team, but through his fight and determination, was able to rate a place on the all-conference eleven. On defense he played close to the ground and was hard to move, while on offense he was one of the best inter- fering guards in the conference. Bob has another year of competition and should make it his best. BOB HUTCHINSON Half Hutch played his first year of college football, and did exceedingly well for a new man. He is light in weight, but is fast and shifty, and a good triple threat man. With this year’s experience, he should make a star next season. TOOTS GILGER Guard Toots was never a sensational performer, but played a good steady game, especially on defense, and could always be depended on to do his best. He has another year of competition, and should again be a valuable man. The action picture shows Kattman of S. M. U. being thrown for a loss by Fields and Bettis. Jackets Threat at Simmons BULL ETHERIDGE Guard Bull earned his first letter in football, and was a capable understudy for Bettis and Gilger. He is big and powerful, and would have been a regular on almost any team in the state. Bull should develop into a star during the coming seasons. ARTHUR WOLF Half Wolf was handicapped by injuries, but is a reliable triple threat man and was able to fill in capably when needed. He receives his degree this spring. SYLVAN CLONINGER End Spivis was shifted from the back-field to end, and developed into a first class wing man. He is a good man on both offense and defense, and occasionally shows real talent as a pass snatcher. He has two more years of competition, and seems to be the man to fill Sanderlin’s shoes. The action picture shows Howard Payne threatening the Simmons goal in the fourth quarter. The drive was stopped when a pass was incomplete over the goal line. Scrubs No little credit for the success of the Howard Payne football team goes to the band of Scrubs, who served as cannon fodder in daily scrimmages against the Varsity. Fewer in number and lighter in weight than the usual scrub team, these hardworking youngsters were unusually faithful in their thankless task of keep- ing the first string in condition. The Scrubs were unfortunate this season in obtaining games, their only encounter being with San Angelo High School, whom the Reserves defeated by a score of 7-2. Attempts to card other games were unsuccessful, so the Scrubs were robbed of the one diversion which usually falls to their lot. Several of the Scrubs will not be back next year, but the majority are Fresh- men and will be fighting for Varsity positions in the future. With the Freshman Rule coming into effect, it will fall to the lot of the Scrubs to fill several places on the squad. BASKET BALL With only two regulars returning from last year’s none too potent quintet, Coach Cheaney was confronted with the task of building a basket ball team with very little promising material. In spite of the dearth of material, Cheaney was able to build up a machine that broke even in its conference schedule and twice threw a scare into the powerful Simmons Cowboys. Only seven men saw action during the entire season. The team started out none too strong, losing its first four games and finally winning one from the weak Trinity Tigers. At last, however, they started work- ing together and by the close of the season could furnish plenty of opposition for any quint in the conference. Three of the seven men who participated in Varsity contests this year graduate this spring, and must be replaced in the 1931 team. A number of this year’s re- serves will be available, and the prospects for a good team next year will depend on their success. BUCK GIBBS Guard and Forward Buck is a good defensive man and a natural leader. As guard he was the spark- plug of the Jacket’s attack, and when shifted to forward he took few shots at the goal, but continued to work well with the team. Next season will be Buck’s last, and he should be a real star. ARTHUR WOLF Guard Playing his first year as a regular, Wolf showed up well as a guard, especially on defense. He has plenty of height and speed, and when he is right, his playing is sensational. He will be sorely missed next year. TED EDWARDS Center Ted is a good man though handicapped by lack of experience, and has the makings of a real basket ball player. He has two more years to play, and should develop into a stellar performer. PETE MARECEK Center Pete is an unusually hard fighter, and though handicapped by poor eyesight, was good enough to lead his team in scoring. He is a good man in the center ring, and consistently got the tip-off when opposing taller men. Pete has one more year of competition. SYLVAN CLONINGER Center and Guard S'pivis filled every position on the team creditably. He is big, fast, and a hard worker, and has been a valuable man. He should develop into a real star within the next two years. GRAVES SIVILLS Forward Graves played his first season as a regular, and showed up well as an all around performer. He has a good eye for the basket, and worked well with his team- mates. He gets his degree this spring and so will not be present next year. HARDE LeSUEUR Forward Harde made his first letter this season, and played some real basket ball in earning it. A good all-around performer, he is valuable on defense, and for his goal shooting and team play. His uncanny ability at making good on bank shots has spelled defeat for several opponents, and has enabled him to rank next to Marecek in scoring. This was his last season with the Jackets. H. B. RAM SOUR Forward Peewee was handicapped by his small stature, but was a game fighter and had a good eye for the basket. He gets his degree this spring. BOB WORLEY Guard Starting the season as a substitute, Bob soon developed into one of the best men on the squad. He was perhaps the fastest man on the team, was a good guard, and had a keen eye for the basket. He was especially apt at making good on long shots. Bob was the only new man to make a letter, and should make an unusually good man in the coming years. CLYDE DEAN Forward Clyde came from Anson High School with a record as a consistent performer. He has lived up to all advance notices, and has proved himself one of the best Freshman cagers in Howard Payne. Much is expected of him during the next three years. Scrub Squad The Jacket cagers were supported by one of the best scrub teams in years. These boys, in charge of Coach Keaton, gave the Varsity their daily workout and then found time to defeat some of the best high school teams in this section. None of the scrubs finish this year, and most of them are expected back to battle for regular positions next season. Noisy Fisher and Bud Canady are hard fighters who were able to make the squad for part of the present season. They each have one more year and should gain places on the team in '31. Brock is another veteran Scrub who will make someone hustle next year. Turkey Morrow, a Freshman who played his first basket ball this year, developed rapidly and showed the makings of a real eager. Clayton Hopkins, Abe Brummett, and Dutch Schuhmann are other new men who showed up well with the Scrubs. TRACK 1929 TRACK SEASON Cap Shelton’s 1930 track team has started out with prospects hardly so bright as in the two preceding years, but still are favored to repeat as conference champs. His squad is hardly so well-balanced as those preceding, and cannot be expected to make another runaway of the Big Six meet. The Jackets are short on weight men, but make up for this weakness with unusual strength in the running events. The ineligibility of Captain “Donk” Key has seriously weakened the team, as Key would have been favored to win both the quarter and half. Harde LeSueur, veteran distance runner, was elected to succeed Donk as captain. In meets held so far this season, the Yellow Jacket tracksters have looked ex- cedingly good. In their first meet, they easily defeated the John Tarleton Plow- boys, defending champs of the Junior College Conference. Nig McCarver got back to his old form and took four first places, thus redeeming himself for his showing at the Stock Show Meet. In their next meet the Yellow Jackets won from the Southwest Texas Teachers in San Marcos. The Bobcats presented a team that was exceptionally strong in some events, but was not well balanced, and at no time threatened to outscore the Jackets. Next the Yellow Jackets went to Austin for a meet with Texas, Daniel Baker, Southwestern, San Marcos, and St. Edward’s. In finishing second to Texas, they were successful in beating out their neighbors, the Hill Billies. The boys from lilt 1930 SEASON Continued ffrs-ff HARDE LeSUEUR (Captain) Distance Harde was elected Captain after “Donk” Key was declared ineligible, and is making a real leader. He set a new Big Six record in the mile last year, besides winning second place in the two mile. He has been looking well in both those events this season, and is able to step the half when needed. The conference meet will finish his career, and he is expected to better his old record by several seconds. HUGH CLARK Distance and Middle Distance Hugh will probalby be used in the half this year, although he has had more experience over the longer distance. He is now making the half in little over two minutes, and may be able to win this event in the conference meet. Hugh won both the mile and two mile in 1928, and if he is right can repeat this performance in his final meet. VERNON DAVISON Distance Vernon has not been defeated this year in his specialty, the two mile, and can step the distance in close to ten minutes. He is also a good miler. Last year as a freshman, Vernon broke the conference record over the long distance, and should be able to lower his old record considerably. EARL FLOYD Distance Earl is a capable miler, although he has been crippled much of the present season. He finished third in the conference last year while a Freshman, and is sure to be one of the leaders this season. NIG McCARVER Dashes and Hurdles Nig has been high point man in the conference meet for the past two years and is due to repeat. He holds the conference records in each of his four specialties, and has bettered his old mark in three of them this year. He has been good for twenty points in every meet this year, and has a good chance of continuing this record through the conference meet. SYLVAN CLONINGER Field Events Spivis holds the conference record in the pole vault, and has bettered it several times this season, his best height being 12' 3 . He has also cleared 6' 2 in the high jump. He is expected to better his old record in the pole vault and to place in high jump. EARL FISHER Field Events Noisy stands a chance of winning both the high jump and broad jump this year. He took second in both events last year, and is showing improvements this season. He has high jumped 6' 2 and broad jumped 21' 9 . NOTLEY HARRELL Dashes Stovey has returned after a year’s absence, and is showing his old time form in the dashes. He is expected to place in the 100, 220, and 440. He also steps a lap in the relay. JOHN BAKER Dashes and Relay Johnnie started out as a track man last year when baseball was discontinued. He runs a good 220 and can also step a fast lap for the relay team. ARTHUR WOLF Relay Arthur is a new man on the cinder path, but is already running a fast quarter. He will probably be a member of the relay team at the conference meet. RAY GLASSCOCK Quarter Ray is another new man on the track, but is already making a name for himself. He is sure to be on the relay team in the conference meet, and may win a place in the quarter. CLIFTON BROOKS Relay Cotton is a fast moving little fellow who ran a good lap in the relay until in- capacitated by an appendicitis operation. JOEL GRIM LAND Relay Breesy Jt)e is another converted baseball player who is making good in track. He runs the quarter in fair time and runs a lap on the relay team. EUGENE MASUR Dashes and Field Events Hoot is a San Marcos Academy product who does almost anything about a track team. He is the best shot putter on the team and can beat 20 feet in the broad jump, besides making good time in the dashes. Hoot has three more years of competition. TED EDWARDS Hurdles and Field Events Ted is another versatile youngster who is likely to win a few points in the con- ference meet. He does both high and low hurdles in fair time, broad jumps 20 feet or better, and is generally good for a place in the discus. PAUL GIBBS Dashes Buck turned to track for the first time this year and made a good start, but was halted by an appendicitis operation. OTHER SPORTS Tennis Squad Coach Havins’ Yellow Jacket Tennis squad has been successful in most meets this season and ranks as one of the strongest in the Big Six. With three lettermen back, including both members of the championship doubles team of last season, Coach Havins has a real group of net stars. Either Hob Canady or Captain Arnspiger may come through with the singles title, while this pair is favored to repeat in doubles. The Jacket netters have fared very well in dual meets this year, losing only one meet. This was to the powerful Simmons Cowboys. Eight matches with the A. C. C. Wildcats were evenly divided. The Jackets have won two victories over Southwestern, and one each over San Marcos, John Tarleton, and Randolph. Tennis Lettermen JESS WEAVER Jess is a good singles man and teams up well with Bud Canady in doubles. Although a Freshman, he is an experienced tennis player, and is able to hold his own with the strongest opponents. Satch is exceptionally good on service, and is one of the steadest players on the squad. MURRAY CANADY Bud is a letterman from the 1928 team, and is back after a year’s absence strut- ting his tuff in a big way. Bud is an accomplished veteran net star who shows up well in both singles and doubles. He intends to return next year, and he should be one of the ranking players of the conference. HARRELL CANADY Hob is the ranking singles player of the school, and a member of the Texas Conference championship doubles team of last year. He has lost only one singles match this season, and is accorded a good chance at the Big Six title. Scout is a hard driving veteran and one of the most colorful players in the conference. CARL ARNSPIGER (Captain) Captain Arnspiger is an unusually steady, hard-working player. He is the second ranking singles players in Howard Payne and is a member of the champion- ship doubles team of 1929. He will be back next season, and should make a worthy successor to Hob Canady as No. 1 singles player. Girls Champions Joel Grimland Maurine Bird Maurine Bird Rexa Dae Schultze Inez Petsick Opal Brown Clara Rhodes Mattie Lee Couch Susie Davis Lucille Hicks Coach Captain Forward Forward Forward Center Center Guard Guard Guard Led by “dead eye Bird” Joe’s team marched to their second championship this season with only one defeat to mar their otherwise perfect record. The champs emerged victorious from a difficult schedule consisting of almost daily competition of other teams of the college, as well as many crack teams from sur- rounding high schools. This team led the field from the first tip-off, with the sharpshooting Captain Bird maintaining a high average for goals made and with Schultze playing equally as well at guard as at forward. The agile Brown refused to let the ball be passed over, under, pr around her, Clara Rhodes was equally as efficient. With an airtight center, forwards that seldom missed, and the Misses Couch, Davis, and Hicks offering stubborn resistance at guard, team four was invincible. The girls will get sweaters in recognition of their great accomplishment. Runners-Up Toots Gilger Maydelle Joyce Irene Rye Alice Edwards Lucy Joyce Nella Darrington Margaret Hull Lucile Moore Gwin Rhymes Fern Jackson Coach Captain Forward Forward Forward Center Center Guard ...Guard ....Guard This team was second in the college championship race, being beaten only by the champions. Team one was never defeated by either team three or four, and on several occasions won over these teams without their scoring a single point. Among the high school teams played and defeated this year by team one, are Blanket, May Town, Cross Cut, Brownwood High, Bangs and Elliot High. If this same group can get together next year they should give somebody a merry chase for the chmpionship. Imogene Lane Leader The Pep Squad was, as usual, one of the livest and most loyal organizations on the campus this year. Countless hours of tedious drill were spent in the hot autumn sun but they were amply repaid by the legion of compliments paid them by West Texans who wit- nessed their excellent and well rehearsed performance on Paramore field December 7. Much credit is due Miss Lane for her splendid work with this year's squad; her ideas were original and were well carried out by the girls. The girls never lagged and their pep never died out. In addition to a drill between halves at every home game, the Pep Squad was on hand at the Thanksgiving game at George- town as well as the annual game with Simmons.

Mr. Morris H. Richards, Editor, the “Lasso,” Howard Payne College, Brown wood, Texas. Dear Mr. Richards:- — You seem to think you had assigned me an easy task when you said “just pick three beauties from this lot,” but may I say why choose me for the impossible? All the young ladies which you sent have beauty, charm, animation—a good word— and above all, that every one of them take good photos. In selecting a winner from this group of girls I am attempting a task which is not to my liking as it will put me in a bad place if I ever meet any of the girls to which I have failed to give places. If I had any idea of visiting your state during the next twenty years 1 would not even attempt to pick a winner, but because of the dis- tance between us I feel safe in making my selection. You will find written on the backs of the photographs my selections which were not easy. Let me again thank you for what you said concerning my drawings and also let me thank you for the honor of viewing so many beautiful girls in a group, and let me place a curse on you for giving me such a hard task. I must close thanking you again and I beg to remain. Yours truly, Roy Crane. WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY (NL) Cleveland, Ohio, April 14, 12:01 A.M. Morris H.

It is certain that she misses much of the comradeship of college un- less she lives in a dormitory. The girls in Howard Payne Hall have the opportunity daily to do the little favors and make the little sacrifices that make for everlasting friendship. Upon these girls rests most of the responsibility of many of the extra-curricular activities. They are loyal to every enterprise that has for its aim the progress of Howard Payne. Miss Haskew, Miss McChristy, and Miss Middle- ton have, through their patience, care and loving at- tention, endeared themselves to all the Dormitory Girls forever. Barn Boys The Barn houses a group of men that do things on the campus. Among this group can be found lettermen in every sport, represenatives of every college activity, all hard workers for Howard Payne, yet, they have their fun. But through it all there lies a feeling of comradeship for each other that will last long after the books have been closed and the last football suit has been hung out to dry. Coach and Mrs. Cheaney will be counted chief among these friends because of their help and leadership which they have given the boys.

He is a great benefactor to the college in many different ways, and numerous of his beneficial activities are done without his receiving due rec- ognition. His voice is no doubt superior to any other baritone in the state. Few other schools in the entire South have such an excellent instructor as Mr. Marshall. He has studied with the outstanding masters of the East, and was for a number of years an eminent and popular concert singer. Tiring of the concert stage, Mr. Marshall came to Howard Payne several years ago, and from the be- ginning built up a voice department that is surpassed by no other school in the Southwest. Mr. Marshall is very popular with the students, and though he has a full schedule of pupils at all times, he has done noteworthy work with the Treble Clef Club and individual artists. Each year his students have won first place awards in state- wide contests. Brownwood and Central Texas are indebted to Mr. Marshall for his bringing to Brownwood nationally famous concert artists and road shows of exceptional merit, thereby earning for Brownwood the title of ‘The Musical Center of West Texas.” The greatest attraction he has brought to Brownwood this year was The Freiburg Passion Play, with Adolph Fassnacht as the Christus. Piano Department The Piano Department is headed by Lyman Stanley, a musician and instructor of exceptional ability. Mr. Stanley received a thorough musical education in some of the best conservatories of the nation. Aside from being a competent instructor, Mr. Stanley is an excellent performer; his concerts are attended by a large number of admirers who appreciate good music. Mr. Stanley is one of the few men in the Southwest who has the distinction of being on the Baldwin Piano Company’s list of artists who use the Baldwin Piano. This department pianos. is well equipped with practice rooms and good Speech Arts Department Although taking over work after four months of school had elapsed, Miss Spark’s has had a very successful year. She has done a great work with the students in improving their speech and diction. In addition to her regular classes Miss Sparks trained a number of special students who by their splendid performances have reflected the thoroughness and ability of their teacher. Miss Sparks' work with the Dramatic Club has been outstanding as usual The winning of the West Texas Intercollegiate One-Act Play Contest for two consecutive years is an example of her brilliant work. Art Department Mrs. Roberts’ first year as head of the Art Department has been marked with success. Extraordinary talent, combined with several year’s intensive study with some of the best teachers in the South- west, qualify Mrs. Roberts as a superior teacher. Courses were offered this year in china, water coloring, pen and ink sketching, as well as a class in Public School Art that is calculated to prepare the student to teach Art in the public schools. Treble-Clef Club Cameron Marshall Director Lois Honea President Bob Knox .. Secretary The Treble Clef Club of Howard Payne College has been recognized for a number of years as one of the outstanding musical organizations of the state. Annual tours are made, as well as many individual concerts. For three times they have won the highest honors in the contest sponsored by the West Texas Chamber of Commerce. Recently, they were engaged by Publix, for a week’s engagement at the Palace Theatre in Dallas, as an extra added attraction. Flattering offers were made them for an extensive trip, but due to many duties of various members it was impossible to accept. John Rosenfield, Jr., in the Dallas News made this favorable comment in connection with his review of their Dallas performance: “as outstanding as anything ever imported from Chicago or New York, comes to the Palace this week, from Brownwood.’’ The personnel of this year's club is: Olene Casbeer, Mary Louise Rice, Violet Cross, Beth Williams, Edna Germany, Bernadine Rudd, Helen Davenport, Lucile Moore, Elva Scott, Ola McDonald, Lula Jo Harvey, Mrs. Keith, Mary Bess Hooper, Allene Tate, Frances Glanville, Bob Knox, Mary Talbot, Enid Harris, Lois Honea, Greta Little, Josephine Eads, Frances McIntosh, Imogene Lane, Inez Petsick, Jane Woodward, Leona McKie, Velma Weatherby, and Alice Skeritt, Pianist. Howard Payne Band Edward Doyle Driskoll Smith Director Business Manager The Howard Payne Band is ably directed by Edward Doyle and is one of the peppiest college bands in the state. Mr. Doyle is the type of director that all the boys will work for and is well liked by all of them. He is also solo cornetist for the “Old Gray Mare Band.” As is the case with any band, the Howard Payne band has had its high points during the year. The highest point it reached was at the Simmons-Howard Payne football game which was played in Abilene. When the two bands played en masse it had the pleasure of showing up the Cowboy Band in several sections. The band has been very loyal in always playing at every pep meeting, football and basketball game. They are one of the chief sources of pep in the college. This year a good, well dressed band made both special trips and added considerably to the pep displayed by the students at these games. Howard Payne Players Antoinette Sparks Morriss H.

Pi Kappa Delta Ben M. David . ___________________________________ President A. J. Quinn Vice-President Evelyn Anderson Secretary Faculty Committee Havins, Middleton, Winebrenner Ben M. David Coach Pi Kappa Delta is an organization of Intercollegate debaters and orators. Our chapter is the Texas Delta chapter. This is a national organization, Howard Payne, having a local chapter. There are a number of requirements to be met by both the school and the debaters in order to obtain and retain membership in Pi Kappa Delta. The distinction is rare and much to be coveted. Howard Payne debaters have debated debaters from almost every state in the Union. Their record this year was great, both the men and women teams having done well. With ten debaters as members of Pi Kappa Delta, and losing only three members by graduation, Howard Payne has a good chance to make another record next year. Winning by far the greater number of their debates and making an enviable record at the Pi Kappa Delta convention, Howard Payne College has been placed before the eyes of the National Convention as a school of hard compe- tition. In addition to their many debating honors, the Howard Payne chapter of Pi Kappa Delta has distinguished itself in the field of oratory. For two years in succession Howard Payne College has placed in the Texas Oratorical Contest. Last year Ben David placed first in the contest, thereby becoming a state orator for life. This year W. T. Sparkman represented Howard Payne in the oratorical contest, and came to the front by placing third in stiff statewide competition at Baylor University. £ PUBLICATIONS Spike was elected last May and had the whole summer in which to plan the 1930 Lasso, hut was forced to alter his plans con- siderably because of lack of funds necessary to develop them. He has had all the breaks, hearty co-operation from the faculty and stu- dent body and is very grateful to them as well as those who have helped him in actual work. He has had as his ambition this year, the producing of a yearbook without losing money either for himself, the business manager, or the students. At this writing it is believed that he will succeed. As to the success of the VlORRISS H RlCHARDS, Jr. book, the students must say. The editor has not worked any harder than he had to but it was not always possible to avoid a little labor. The 1930 Lasso is probably the most expensive Lasso ever published, from the standpoint of material used in the manufacturing of the volume. Every possible advantage was taken insofar as discounts were concerned, and printers copy was held up as long as possible in order to give account of more activities. The Lasso has been exceedingly fortunate in having Driskoll Smith for its Busi- ness Manager. It was only through his aggressive advertising campaign that the book could be produced without a loss. Al- though this year was a hard one for advertis- ing, Driskoll surpassed all previous managers in the amount of ads obtained. In addition to his ad work, Driskoll was a great help in keeping the editor at his task and was indis- pensable in the making of the book. Driskoll Smith Business Manager Lasso Staff The view section of the 1930 Lasso was clone on Ross Board in crayon by Miss Emalita Newton. The work speaks for itself. It is an innovation at Howard Payne and the staff hopes it meets with your approval. Pete Marecek was indispensable at laying out panels and never shirked when called upon. He is as accurate as a machine and was an important factor in the making of the book. Without the neatness of Greta Little the panels in this year’s book would not have been so good. She was very faithful and often neglected her own work to help the Lasso. If the feature section is a success, the credit is due Ray Wooten. He knows good feature material when he sees it and is an excellent photographer. Jake pounded the typewriter on several occasions helping the Business Manager with his foreign advertising campaign. Harde is the author of “Scraps from a Senior's Diary.” Without the able assistance of Lamar Floyd and Jim Gill, the Editor would have given up. Their aid was of inestimable value in preparing copy for the printer. The 1930 Lasso owes them a vote of thanks. Yellow Jacket Staff Lamar Floyd Editor George Smith, who was elected editor of the Jacket last year, did not return, so Lamar, who was the Business Manager, was elected to serve in his place. At the first of school, it was a tight fight, hut taking everything into consideration he did not do so badly. He was greatly aided in his efforts by the Press Club, and especially by Elmo Baker. When Lamar was gone, Elmo took charge and turned out good papers. If the Yellow Jacket did not come up to the expectations of the student body, it was not because the Editor did not do his best. It was because he could not do any better. The support that was given him made it possible for the paper to come out. Jim Gill also should be mentioned for his fine work as Sports Editor. He made it possible for the paper to have the sport section that it did. Yellow Jacket Staff Marvin was also handicapped because he did not get to start work on the Jacket at the first of the year, but he is one of the best, if not the best, business managers that has ever worked on the paper. He started in with a bang and kept it up all the year, and through his efforts, the Jacket kept out of debt. This year was one of the hardest that has struck the country in the last 10 years, but he went on plugging and made a success of his work. Next year, if he should be elected to a like office, he should have even better success be- cause of the experience that he now has.
