But with the realization that this little volume is not a literary masterpiece, we wish our readers to know that it is our honest endeavor to preserve the pleasant memories of our school days, which we shall always hold dear, and to ask that our work of love and tenderness which has inspired it, be not gazed upon with the eye of the cold and heartless critic. iriitratimt TO ' PROF: WILLIS B.

HOWARD Since the organization of the Alumni Association of the Louisiana Industrial Institute, in 1899 many changes have taken place in the school. It has taken its place with other institutions for higher education in the State and South. The Alumni Association has grown with the school, being reinforced year by year with new life and new spirit of each succeeding graduating class. The Association is composed of two hundred and fifty- one men and women, who represent the citizenship of our land, and who aid in the direction of its affairs. It now stands as a representative of a school which has come to be recognized as a power in the educational world, a school where the hand and heart is trained, as .... President Vice-President Secretarv-T reasurer well as the mind. During the past few years the indus¬ trial work of our school has been strengthened, and now there is a great demand for teachers who are graduates of this school. A scholarship of $100.00 is being given each year to a former student who would otherwise be unable to attend. This year it was given to Miss Clyde Mobley, who graduated recently and is now a very successful teacher of domestic science in one of the State high schools. This scholarship will be continued each year, the funds being obtained from the dues of the member¬ ship of $1.50 per annum. Mid-Term Graduating Class CAREY ROBERTSON, RUSTON, LA.

Since then our class has been reduced to twenty-two. As we look back upon these past three years we find many things upon which our mem¬ ory dwells with pleasure, but there is a touch of sadness in the thought that we will never again walk in the paths of the verdant Freshmen, or be numbered with the scarcely less green Sophomores. Since we have attained this honorable title of Juniors, we have ranked first in whatever came up—be it measles or meanness, good looks or ugliness. We show unusual ability in using deceit. For instance, Mattie has suc¬ ceeded in fooling all the teachers into giving her ninet} or above in every subject, even Analytics. Mr. Doxey would be an extraordinarily bright student if he did not spend all his time in entertaining the girls. Ida is an expert in the shorthand line. Mr. Steine has won honors on the ball ground. Joe Eddie takes everything as it comes, and if it doesn’t come she takes it anyway. There are many other distinguished members, but it would take volumes to tell about all of them. And now, in conclusion, we are going to tell a few of the things we intend to do. Mr. Dee is studying with the intention of becoming a minister. Mary Lee has decided to be an actress. Hettie has already shown her ability as a school teacher. Joe Eddie is to begin work as stenog¬ rapher for Coburn and Smith, lawyers, in September, 1913. Ludie, Carrie Lee and Lillian, self-sacrificing girls that they are, have decided to spend their lives as missionaries to South Africa. The rest of the class are all expecting to become people of notoriety, but have not yet decided in what way. During the remainder of our school life we intend to do our best to have a good time, live up to our motto of “Get something for noth¬ ing,” to the best of our ability. HH i ' ... Junior I Class History We’re a band of “Jolly Juniors ’ We’ve passed the Freshman year: We spurn the haughty Sophomore: Our Senior time draws near. Six fine mechanics, five brainy bookkeepers, one illus¬ trious son of the rural districts and fifteen sweet, gentle and excellent housekeepers, compose this “Jolly Junior I. Band.”. Now, Gibbon has said that history is little else than a catalogue of crimes, mistakes and misfortunes of men, and if this be the case, the class of 1912 has but little history. She has no crimes, unless the most pleasant habit of “cutting,” “shorting” and “bathing” be unchar¬ itably called criminal acts. Her mistakes are few; never¬ theless we must acknowledge that sometimes her mechan¬ ical sons will mistake their fingers for the nail. As for her misfortunes, there are none, except the fact that she has not enough high and honorable positions in which to place her noble sons and daughters. The accomplishments of the past year greatly out¬ weigh these petty faults, and we are sure that with another year’s practice our mechanics will always “hit the nail on the head.” Nor are we lacking in athletes, for Messrs. Giddens, Braunigs, May and Miss Hamilton reflect honor upon the class in this line. We doubt not that we have had our share of the pleas¬ ures and difficulties due to Junior I’s, but in spite of the difficulties we hope to live up to our motto, “Labor on to Success,” and come out victors in the end.

Does anybody remember our “singing” class, where, at the end of each month, some of the students (by the urgent request of Mr. Wilson) would delight their hear¬ ers with solos of “Do, re, mi,” which would thrill us to the depths of our souls? Ah, those happy Freshman days! But now, we are Sophomores—spelled with a capital S. We are not merely sub Sophs, but full-fledged Sopho¬ mores, almost ready to spread our rapidly growing wings of wisdom and fly into Juniorism. Most of the Fresh¬ men acquire a wrong impression of the meaning of Sopho¬ more, by believing and delighting in the rumor that the word means “Wise Fool.” Dear little Freshies. allow me to correct your mistake by stating that the word is really derived from two words, meaning “More Wise”—(than a Freshman). We are a fine class, though our talents do run in dif¬ ferent lines. There are our ball boys, football, basket ball and baseball, who have by hard work won so many victories. W r e are proud of our fine athletic department. Then our girls who cook, who concoct delightful dishes dear to the heart of man, and our “cultured” musicians who, some mornings in chapel, give us brief glimpses into to mystic realm of “musical sounds ’ Our artists! It is impossible to forget those who impress themselves on our memories bv their industrious hammering on copper and brass, and by painting masterpieces, whose subjects are often little jugs, containing yellow or red flowers, trail¬ ing gracefully over the edges. Our dignified business members, too. Those who are bent on making a wav through life with a substantial foundation. We are proud of all our boys and girls, are we not ? Now that we have reached the height of our “Freshy” ambition, there is still an uneasy, dissatisfied feeling in our hearts. I have an idea that this is a “hankering” for the state of being Junior, and when we attain that height, I may safely wager that we shall look back and down on those “little Sophomores” and long again for the final goal of Senior. Sophomore I Class History The Sophomore—I Class is noted for three things: The beauty and popularity of its maidens, the chivalry and courage of its boys, and the combined brightness of both. Long ago—it seems ages—we were Freshies, and as such first mounted the ladder of Knowledge at the L. I. I. No taunts, no superior airings of wisdom from the higher students, could daunt us. We went on our own way, and now we are already a part of this great insti¬ tution, an important part. The teachers are all amazed at our precocity; in fact, a few admitted that we were getting beyond them. It would not do for me to name each separate scholar and proclaim his virtues. There are a great many of us, but “the more the merrier,” and we are certainly living up to that adage. Already I foresee future artists, poets, authors, states¬ men and a great many other famous additions to our country from our matchless class. I don ' t know how the L. I. I. would get along without us. We form the best part of its societies and manage to fool the instructors so thoroughly that we never receive demerits. Even Mr. Keeny has to admit his admiration for us. Steadily but successfully we keep mounting, mounting, and hope very soon to reach the topmost rung, the high¬ est position of school Seniordom. The secret of our success lies in one simple little pro¬ verb. It is this: “Be sure you are right; then go ahead. Freshman II Class Officers T. W.

Most of the members of this class took their first peep into Prep.” heaven in September, 1910 . However, a few did not enter until the class had climbed the numer¬ ous and rocky paths that confront the innocent little “Preps.” They may rest assured that they were for¬ tunate. The growth of our class has been steady in its mental development, as well as in numbers. Among us we have some of tile best mathematicians, mechanics, cooks and bookkeepers that luive ever been enrolled in this institu¬ tion. The class may well be compared to a rude piece of stone, for we admit that when we were first brought to sculptor we were pretty “rocky,” but by the chiseling down we received at the hands of those sculptors, we have become somewhat more presentable and had many of the bumps knocked off. It is to be hoped, however, that we will obtain an even higher polish by the time we are to go forth from the workshop. So let us all be loyal to this, the Freshmen II. Class, and put forth the best we have, to make this the best class that I.. I. I. has ever had. Freshman I Class History You ' ve asked for a history of our class, as yet unknown to fame— I ' ll lisp the story my very best, trying truth to gain. As back upon the years I gaze, with the historian ' s search, I find that missing documents oft leave me in the lurch; But stored up in the annals is an entrance of you. Please parden me, dear class, if you do not get your due. Now, of course, ' twould be ' yond my power to tell of every one. The detailed news of study and the endless pranks and fun. So I ' ve written just these little notes about the officers here, For the documents about the others, I must confess, weren’t cLear. Yet in the dying embers as I sat by my fire, A group seemed rising—higher, ever higher. In those dear days of long ago, in which all have a place, I hear that “our crowd” was prominent in the race For wisdom, and surely for happiness, too. May the past, then, send a bright ray to guide us through The unrevealed future, that belongs to us every one— The future that goes on and on until Death is the setting sun. May our friendship for each other be a bark on life’s sea, A bark that will smoothly sail and safely to a country! Yes, a country of kindness, a country of love; where no a liens are. We’ll be members together, while the past rises clear like a star. Let’s hope the future’s radiance w T ill be a blissful light, And that the God of love and duty will keep that future bright. Prep. Class History PREPS The Prep. Class makes up in quality what they lack in quantity. We are Bright, even Pert-on Bryan have caged a Martin, tasted Zuber-beer and raised our own cotton Bolls for a Mill—near DeLoney. We began our career as L. I. I. students in the spring term of 1911 While we realize we are preparing for the first round of the ladder, we are filled with a deter¬ mination to go to the top. Knowing that an education is not gained in a single bound, and that we have a long, hard climb before us ere we attain the goal to which we aspire, we are making careful preparations, and intend to persevere until success crowns our efforts. Music Course The Music Course includes the pianoforte, band and stringed instruments, and voice. Also, all of the com¬ plete courses in the academic subjects required in the Industrial Art Course, with courses in theory, harmony and musical history. Pianoforte In this course the object is to secure a thorough and systematic training for the pupil, whereby one may pre¬ pare for teaching or concert work. Particular attention is given to developing a perfect musical touch in all its phases. Exercises and compositions from the best mas¬ ters are used to develop and broaden the technic. V oice In this course the efforts are mainly directed to build¬ ing up the voice and giving it strength and purity of tone, at the same time freedom and clearness in enunciation. Pupils are prepared for church, oratorio and concert work, as well as for teaching, in such a manner as grad¬ ually to develop and broaden both the voice and the intellect. All lessons are given privately, as better re¬ sults are obtained in this manner than in the class system. The instructor can thus give all attention to the individual needs.

Students taking the Agriculture Course will not only be well prepared successfully to carry on various lines of farming for themselves, but they will be competent to act as foremen; and, after some experience, as managers and superintendents of large farms. The graduate from the Agriculture Course will be a strong and influential citizen as well as a skillful producer, because while the studies of the Agriculture Coures are primarily practical, emphasizing the business side of life, yet enough “cul¬ ture” studies are offered to give the student a well- balanced and well-rounded education. The motto of the Agriculture Course is practice with science. Some manual labor is required as practice work in the fields and laboratory. The student is taught to handle tools in carpentry and blacksmithing; he is given some practice in handling stock, grafting, tree planting and general farm management. He is not sent into the fields to plow, harrow or cultivate, but he has an oppor¬ tunity to observe the best methods of farm practice and become acquainted with the great principles and prac¬ tice of agriculture.

Junk. iff WHAT’S IN A NAME? (Reverie.) On a “Pleasant” Spring morning a “Stewart” passed the “Broadwell’ on the way to the “Little” Church. The “Bell” was chiming in the distance, and the “Rob¬ bins” were gaily singing a “Carroll,” making the world happy and gay. As lie walked along he slowly turned the “Pages” of his book, but his thoughts were of his younger days, spent as a “Miller” in a land far away. Suddenly he was aroused from his reverie bv his “Butler’s” rapid approach. Hesitatingly he handed him over a telegram, which changed all the former pleasures into deepest sorrow. Why? Isn’t F. Bell polite? Does M. Terrell like Scott (land) ? Does Mrs. Dudley like to stand on the staircase? Is E. McCuen’s favorite place by the “Oakes?” Does Miss Trousdale persist in saying it is cold? Can’t Brownlee and Hamilton get back from town on time? Does Miss Dudley enjoy being a messenger girl? Doesn’t K. Henry ever get caught visiting during study hour Did M. L. Hamilton cut church? Is J. LaCroix glad the “Chapter House” has been removed? Did a certain Freshie leave A. Hendrik’s table? Do all the girls talk to L. Puckett with great care? Does Mr. Dudley never carry the girls auto riding? Does A. Bonner talk so extremely loud ? Can’t M. Smith turn her faucet off? Does A. H. think any one can typewrite without paper? The Psalm of Foot Ball f r Tell me not in mournful numbers Football is so very tame, For the player’s dead that slumbers— That, you know, is part of the game. Football’s real, football’s earnest. And the grandstand’s not the thing; Let each fellow play his derndest. While trumpets blow and cowbells ring. Not by slugging, nor by frown. Is the way to make a hole; Play low and push, that each down Finds you ten yards nearer goal. Trust no lineman, howe’er smart; Hit him hard and kill him dead. Be oft quick, get the start, Or lie’s liable to get ahead. On the gridiron’s broad field playing, When the ball is put in play, Lay about you with much slaying, To be a hero—that’s the way. Bucks of great players all remind us, We can make our play sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, A good, wide opening in the line. An opening which perhaps another, Following after with the ball, A winded, hot pursued brother. Fleeing, shall break through the wall. Let us then be up and doing, H ave a slug for every pate; Still a bag of wind pursuing, Learn to kick the football straight. Rubbish Jack and Jill went up the hill To enter Ruston College— Jack fell down the very first term, And Jill received the same knowledge. Berry W. is a funny, funny lad; Not too good, or not to bad. But if he should stumble over a chair, ’tis said. He’d apologize to it, or lose his head. The Junior 2’s are just the thing, No finer class, you bet-u. But you’d better mind vour p’s and q’s.

Mr. B.—Oh, it was like the people watching Jonah build the ark. Miss Gray’s favorite poem: “Mv Ardis lies under the auto. My Ardis swears under the car; Please send to the garage for some one. For ’tis lonesome up here where I are.” In Mr. Thatcher’s room, where demerits are given for unprepared lessons: Mr. Thatcher (savagely)—Now, sir, for the last time, what is the square of the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle equivalent to? Way Ion (who does not know his lesson)—It’s equiva¬ lent to ten demerits for me. Here’s a pencil, sir. Mr. Carson—Now, Mr. N—, why does the barometer go up in tine weather? Alvin—So it can go down again when it rains. I sup¬ pose. Mr. Hancock (punching Mr. Hale in the ribs with his umbrella)—There’s an idiot at the end of my um¬ brella. Mr. Hale—Which end? Blonnie wily she spends so many periods in bookkeeping. Ruth D. why she reads so many McClure magazines. Roy C. why he never meets a Rock Island train. Scott if he had a “vardatious” time in Clinton. Dee to translate “Bkg.” Kate H. who blew the whistle. Ruth F. who played the “hero.” Abbie why she blushes so much. Lonam the reason the building shook so badly on the 3d of March. “Red” S. why he wraps his head in a towel every night. Mr. Keeny why he hates so badly to see May 3d come. Cornelia the reason she is so happy when going to fourth period work. Olley why he “changed.” Dee what the “Freshie” said to him at the hydrant. Fatty M. what his favorite color is.

May 3, 191L The Young Mens Christian Association The Y. M. C. A. of the Louisiana Industrial Institute has for its object “to unite all students who desire to strengthen the spiritual life and influence of the school; to promote growth in Christian character and fellowship and aggressive Christian work, specially for and by stu¬ dents.” Students attend of their own accord. The students control the affairs of the Association, with the help of an advisory council, which is composed of eight members of the Association, with Prof. Prince of the faculty. The south parlor, a well equipped room in the Boys’ Dormitory, is used exclusively for the meetings. A re¬ ception and reading room adjoins the parlor. These l’oms have received special attention, and are well fur¬ nished with chairs, tables and book shelves. There are books of religious literature in the reading room, kept for reference. Also, the Y. M. C. A. receives several maga¬ zines, periodicals and newspapers, which, together with a variety of games, may be enjoyed by any member. Al¬ though the reading room was only recently established, there is a great deal of interest being manifested. It is visited bv many of the boys, and is enjoyed as a place of recreation as well as a source of information. The rooms have been made very attractive, the walls being decorated with pennants of about twenty ot the leading colleges and universities of the country. There is an organ, also the property of the Y. M. C. A., for use during devotional exercises. Meetings are held at 2:30 Sunday evenings. Pro¬ fessional men of the city and members of the faculty speak at the meetings, there being no tiresome program rendered, as was previously done. A course of Bible study is offered, which results in benefit to all who take it, the class being conducted by one of the best students in the institution. The Association gives a pennant for the best record by any one of its members in the athletics ol the school. Last year there was only one person who made every ’Varsity team, but during the present session there seems to be a number of contestants. That the Y. M. C. A. is a potent factor in extending moral and ethical principles is shown by the large mem¬ bership, together with the interest of all the students. We wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Prince for his advice and suggestions. We also desire to acknowledge the influence and assistance of the members of the fac¬ ulty who assist in the religious work of the Association. To them we owe much. MEMBERS Y. M. C. A.
