Th€ 1933 LASSO PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF HOWARD PAYNE COLLEGE BROLUnUUOOD - TCXAS COPYRIGHT ORVILLE WALKER T.R..HAVINS Jrns or WALPtER MEMORIAL LIBRARY FOREWORD It is useless to repeat in words the many sacri- fices we have all undergone in making “The Lasso possible. We believe these sacrifices have not been In building the 1953 Lasso it has been our aim to present to our readers a wide view of college life as it is portrayed in our College. We hope in the years to come one can look back and recall to mind the pleasant things that they encountered while attending Howard Payne College. DEDICATION Because of our appreciation of her. Because of her loyalty to student interests, which made possible our greatest undertakings. Her unceasing helpfull- ness and wise guidance banished discouragement and made the most difficult task a pleasure. To this sincere Christian who has endeared herself in the hearts of all Howard Payne Students, it is with loving appreciation we dedicate the 1933 Lasso The Lasso Staff feels safe in saying that they do not believe there is any other college student body that thinks more of their President than does the students of Howard Payne. He is friend, coun- cilor, and advisor of all who know him. Especially does the Senior Class of '33 wish to express their appreciation of Thomas W. Taylor. Eight Eula Haskew Joe Bailey Cheaney J.

During these five years he has won four championships and tied for the fifth. With a record like this the Jacket fans and student body have begun to look on him as a genius. Besides being a successful coach he is a real friend to the boys with which he works. His excellent personality has made him a success as a coach as well as a friend. Coach Keaton has been line coach of the Jacket football teams for the past five years. Keaton developed the power that carried our teams to the championships annexed the past five years. The lines have been the success of the Jacket football machines. In Coach Keaton the college and student body has a friend that is always ready to do what he can for them. Keaton is a man who has little to say but what he docs say carries a great deal of force. Harold Scott coached the Jacket Freshmen during the past season. He did a good job of it as the Frosh boasted a fair team. Scott is a former Jacket grid star, playing under the Jacket colors in 1924, 25, 26 and 28. Coach Scott is a man who was well liked by the boys and really took the job to heart. We are fortunate in having a man as capable as he is to coach our Freshman team. Capt. Hoot” Masur has finished a very colorful grid career for the Jackets. For four years he has been the Jacket regular fullback and above all has had few peers in the conference at this position. Masur was probably the best defensive back in the conference during his playing for the Jackets. The Texas Conference will lose a football player that has been one of her outstanding members for the past four years when Masur graduates this spring. Howard Payne will always remember Hoot for his clean and hard playing while helping the Jackets MASUR THE SQUAD This Jacket football squad with the others that have been in Howard Payne for the past four years has established a record that has never been equaled in Texas athletic circles. They have won the Txas Conference Football Title since 1928, the only blot on their record for the past five years was a tie with Simmons University for the title in 1931. The present squad came right back to win the crown again during the past season. A record of four undisputed titles in five years. The 1932 squad established a record that will be seldom equaled and probably will never be excelled. Coach Cheaney started with a bunch of men that were only mediocre in appearance but due to willingness to work they were developed into champions. Toots Gilliam playing his second year with the Jackets was a very good reserve guard. His fight stopped many plays at his side of the line. Ray Taylor playing his initial year as a Jacket back looked great during the latter part of the season, much will be expected of him next year. Charlie Miller, another reserve, should earn his letter at center for the Jackets next season. Clayton Hopkins playing his second and last year for the Jackets has been a stellar performer all year. He will be missed next fall when the opening whistle blows. Bob Sikes, a star from the Frosh squad of 1931, was handicapped by sickness about the middle of the season. He should make Coach Cheaney a good linesman or back next fall. McQUEEN HUTCHINSON Price McQueen was one of the Jackets' best ends. His defensive work was above par all season. His pass catching was above the average. McQueen will be playing his fourth and last year for the Jackets when the 1933 season rolls around. Bob Hutchinson has finished his grid career with the Jackets. He was a little man but his fight and fleetness made him a dependable back. Boh Worley, Co-Captain of the Jackets during the 1932 season, was probably the best quarter that has run a team in the Texas Conference for the past several years. He was All-Conference quarter for the past two years. He was the Jackets' main offensive threat during his stay with the Jackets. Clyde Dean, a back, was one of the hardest working men on the Jacket squad. He lettered four years at Howard Payne and we will miss “Gotch next year when the season rolls around. Clem Page playing his first year with the Jackets at end made us a good man. He is large and fast and should make a good man next year. John A. Wester, a reserve lineman, should go well next season if he can keep his mind on football. Leon Henry is a fighting little man that will give some guard a run for his money next fall. Henry played his first year with the Jackets last fall. Roy Taylor, reserve end, may not be with us next fall. He was a hard worker and showed the old Jacket pep at all times. Leslie Terry was handicapped with an injury that kept him on the side-lines all season. He is fast and elusive. He should fill one of the halfback slots well next fall. PAGE WESTER HENRY TAYLOR TERRY Jake Edwards playing his third year with the jackets was the outstanding tackle in the conference for the past season. His work on the defense was a big cog in the Jackets winning the championship. Frank Stubbs playing his second year for the Jackets was one of the most out- standing guards in the conference. His play was a bit erratic at times but he was a fighter from the first to the last. He will be lost to the squad next year as he could not elude the darts of Dan Cupid. Truett Little was without doubt the premier center of the conference. His play on the defense was at all times above par. He will be with us for his last time UNDERWOOD SCOTT MORROW LUSK Wilburn Underwood playing his third year with the Jackets was a dependable back. He was fast and elusive. He will finish his grid career next fall. Stanley Morrow, a regular end, will finish his time with the Jackets next year. His play at end was of a high caliber. At catching passes he had no peer in the conference. Howard Scott, reserve center, made his second letter as a Jacket the past fall. He will probably not be with us next fall. Scott was an all-around lineman playing almost any position in the line and playing it well. Robert Lusk, regular tackle, will be lost to the squad next fall as he dropped out of school at the end of the winter term. He was a good man on both defense and offense. ACTION PICTURE Howard Payne 6, Pirates 0 BRAGG SCHUHMANN Lofton Bragg, a reserve back, should go good next season. His lack of experience has handicapped him for several years. He is a hard fighter and really has the Howard Payne spirit. Earl Schuhmann playing his third year as a Jacket was the hardest driving man in the Jacket backfield Dutch” should make a good back next season. SHELTON HAVINS CHAENEY KEATON The Howard Payne Athletic Council has done more for the forwarding of athletics than any other organization in the college. Despite the fact that times have been hard financially the council has worked out a way in which the athletic teams of Howard Payne have been given the best. Through their work no phase of athletics has had to be dropped from the calendar, as some schools have been forced to do. J. Horace Shelton was elected as President of the Texas Conference Athletic Association at their last meeting. No better man could have been selected to that responsible office. Cap is Athletic Director in the College. T. R. Havins is chair- man of the Athletic Council. The other two members of the council are our coaches Cheaney and Keaton. FRESHMEN SQUAD To the Freshmen football squad goes much credit for the development of the varsity. They have been out every day scrimmaging against the first stringers and have taken much punishment. There is little fun for the Frosh player during his first year, the only thing that he looks forward to is a chance at making the varsity the next fall. We owe the Freshmen a vote of thanks for their patient work in helping to develop the Texas Conferenc Champions. There was a goodly amount of material among the first year boys and the college expects to see several of them H-CLUB YELL LEADERS Dick Austin Sammie Cox Ben Arvin Carroll Peaden Marcus Murphy Barn Boys Fight, Freshmen!

Much has been heard of Pi Kapp this year. They have had a most active year and have made a commendable record. Of all the debates this year our chapter has won at least half of them. Two tourna- ments were attended. The girls' team composed of Willie Fae McElroy and Mrs. Bradley Allison, won first place in the West Texas Debate Tournament and Miss McElroy and Lettie Bell Coggin won second in the provence meet. The boys' teams, though not always winning first places, made a good showing of themselves. Orville Walker won second in the Provence Meet Extemporaneous Speech Contest. He also entered the Oratorical Contest in Abilene. Other members of Pi Kappa Delta are: Jeff T. Wilkes, Judson Prince, Bradley Allison, Glynn Raley, Elizabeth Jo Doyle, Eleanor Spratt, Leander Hall, and John Dean. Good luck next year, Pi Kappa Deltas! Four Leaf Clover So much favor have the Four Leaf Clover won for themselves that we feel that they should be given special recognition in The Lasso. They have sung numerous times in Chapel and on many other occasions. On every occasion they have won the plaudits of the audience. Their director, Miss Charline Underwood, should be given due credit for we feel sure that were it not for her their success would not have been as marked as it is. The Four Leaf Clover is composed of Aline Tate, Fay Canady, Esther Prince, and Eddie Lake Tate. We predict more successes to come from this group. Fifty-three Fine Arts The Fine Arts Department nf Howard Payne is one of the phases of our school of which we are quite proud. We feel that we are represented in most phases of all the fine arts. Mrs. Will McCulley is head of the Piano Department. She has been with us for quite a while and she is one of Howard Payne's strongest supporter. Miss Charline Underwood is head of the Voice Department. She has gained for herself much recognition as a writer and composer of music. She is especially well known for originating the Four Leaf Clover, a girls' quartet, of which we arc all proud. Miss Mary Talbot, professor of Public School Music, is a new addition to the Fine Arts Department. She is one of our student body and is well liked by all. Our Dramatic Club did not become active until the last part of the school year. Mrs. Brown Tommie, our director, has filled her position most admirably. Another portion of the book is given a more detailed account of their activities. Pi Kappa Delta, our National Debating Fraternity, cannot be taken from the list. All should be quite proud of their showing this year. Along with many private debates we attended two tourna- ments, of which a good showing was always made. The girls won first in one and second in the other. Bradley Allison is president and Orville Walker Forensic manager. Mr. Wincbrinner is our advisor. Howard Payne is indeed glad to have Mrs. Hattie P. Baker as a member of the faculty this year. She is children's supervisor in kindergarten work. She also is Professor of Primary Education.” Oleta Ollae po nti eL BASKETBALL How Do They Look? Review of Baskeball Season The Yellow Jackets had a most successful season up until the last two games and had they won these two they would have won the Championship. “Red Bragg led his team-mates in scoring honors. Red was an All-Conference forward and filled his position like the veteran that he is. Truett Little was second in scoring and filled his position at forward with much satisfaction. Stanley Morrow, a tall lanky center, did well not to have had any experience before coming to Howard Payne. Bob Worley was noted for his speed on the court and as guard he was noted for his consistent long shots. Price McQueen, a fighting guard that filled his position well, is expected to do great things again next year. Hershel Wheeler, dependable forward as well as guard, was always ready to do his best at any time Clyde Dean, a guard, was small for the position but always held his own with larger opponents. Hilton Gilliam, a fast-working little forward, was always ready to assist his team-mates at any part of the game. Jake Edwards, a tall husky center, was always ready to do battle upon the court when called upon. Howard Payne played twelve games and won eight. All except Bob Worley and Clyde Dean will return next year. AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS bAEDALIAM' ,:‘-M n f H E ACTUS TTr-'; ! HORNED 1 FROG- ENGRAVED BY PHOTO- ENGRAVING CO.

They have yet to play in the Conference Meet and they are due to give somebody some trouble. Reading from left to right, this is Reginald George's first year with the team He has a great deal of ability and with more experience he is due to make a good man Clayton Hopkins is making a good showing of himself this year. Although he played very little tennis last year he has won for himself a place on the team. Stanley Morrow is a holdover from last year. He is a good man and due to give lots of trouble to whomever he meets. Glynn Raley is playing his last year for the Jackets He is a consistent player and no easy match for any one. f. H. Hall plays both singles and doubles and is good at both. All should watch out for him. GIRL'S BASKETBALL HOWARD PAYNE PLAYERS Whpn The Lasso was Iir-t planned very little recognition ' given the Howard Payne Players They have now won for them selves an earned place upon the pages ,,f The Lasso. When The Las,., funds were running short the Howard Payne Players were called upon to produce a play for The Lasso’s benefit It is needless to say they readily agreed. The play was Girl Shy. It was under the direction of Mrs. Brown Tommie, a former Howard Payne Player and a most capable director. At the time of this very •y. Do Leon, .

IT’S A GREAT GAME This Game of Life is a great game, once you've learned to play it. But learning is an important part. 1-earning how to get the most from every passing moment, the most in health, the most in the joy of living. To learn more is not only to earn more, it means to live more as well—live a broader, greater life, to be worth more to one's self, to his community, his state and country. Howard Payne College is a good place from which to gather knowledge, a good place to learn— not only how to live but learn to be useful. For more than thirty-five years, we have been employing young people from this fine school. They are filling positions of responsibility all over Texas and adjoining states. The fact that they have made good causes us to go again and again to the school for dependable employees. We like to choose employees from a school which teaches that character, and reliability, and manhood must be a prized possession.... else all knowledge is of little avail. That's why we are strong for Howard Payne and for her students.
