Those who have guided its destiny through the little more than a quarter of a century of its his¬ tory have been people who have caught the spirit of the times, and have aspired always for it to maintain a place of first rank among the edu¬ cational institutions of our State. The school was created by an Act of the General Assembly in 1894. It was called the Industrial Institute and College of Louisiana. The Con¬ stitutional Convention of 1898, changed the name to the Louisiana In¬ dustrial Institute. The bill creating the school was proposed by Mr. G. M. Lomax, Representative from Lincoln Parish at that time. The other Lincoln Parish member of the General Assembly was Mr. J. T. M. Han¬ cock, and it was largely through the efforts of these two men that the school was located at Ruston, at that time a town only ten years old, and of less than fifteen hundred people. The first session began in September, 1895, with an enrollment of two hundred students and six teachers. Col. A. T. Prescott was presi¬ dent and also a member of the teaching staff. The school was conducted in a small two-stor} brick building and a small frame building for Mechanics. Two years later the first Commencement was celebrated, and Mr. Harry Howard was the first graduate. No one who has ever been graduated from the school has been more loyal nor more devoted in service to his Alma Mater than has Mr. Howard. In 1898 a Girls’ Dormitory was built, the faculty was increased from six to twelve, and the student body reached three hundred in number. At this time Col. Prescott resigned as president to accept a position in the Louisiana State University, and Prof. W. C. Robinson was elected to take his place. He served two years as president after which he re¬ sumed the chair of Mathematics, and Prof. James B. Aswell became president. During the four years of Prof. Aswell’s presidency, the school gained a wide reputation as a pioneer in industrial education in Louis- Page fifteen S ElThe LiA 3 IVIAPPE - 1925 iana. Both the student body and the faculty doubled in number, and two new buildings were added to the school plant. The Boys’ Hall was built in 1901, and the Mechanics Building in 1904. In 1904, Prof. Aswell resigned to become State Superintendent of Education, and Dr. W. E. Taylor was made president. For eight years Dr. Taylor had been connected with the school as Professor of Biology. He had endeared himself to all who knew him, because of his many excellent qualities of both mind and heart. He was honored for both his lovable character and his brilliant scholar¬ ship. He served two years as president when he was called to assume the leadership of Louisiana College, a Baptist institution being founded at that time in Pineville, Louisiana. Mr. C. E. Byrd, of Shreveport, served as president during the ses¬ sion 1906-1907, after which he returned to Shreveport to resume his work as Superintendent of Education in Caddo Parish. It was then that Mr. Keeny came to assume the leadership of the school. His has been the only uninterrupted period of leadership that the school has known. During this time the institution has passed through many criti¬ cal periods. It has experienced both joys and sorrows. It has had its moments of elation, and it has had its moments of despair. In June, 1914, the school had its first sorrow, in the death of Prof. Carvill H. Carson. For fourteen years he had been associated with the institution as Professor of Physics and Chemistry. He was greatly loved by all who knew him. One could not sit in his classes five hours each week and not feel the influence of a great character. His ideals were as beautiful and as lofty as pictures in the sky. One could not help but be inspired by them, and one could not fail to get from them a vision of a greater service and a fuller life. In the spring of 1914 war clouds gathered along the horizon, and the sound of arms was heard from distant shores. It was the beginning of a new epoch in the history of this institution. These halls began to echo to the sound of the bugle call, and to resound to the tramp of marching feet. These grounds were as a military camp, as our country’s call was answered by both teacher and student volunteers. Col. Shat- tuck left Ruston in May, 1917, as Captain of Company F., and Major Prince left at the same time as Captain of Company of Supplies, both of the First Louisiana Infantry. Both of these companies were composed $ Page sixteen fTKe LAG NIAPPE • 1925 almost entirely of boys from this institution, and both did service over¬ seas. They were mobilized at Camp Beauregard and afterwards became a part of the 156th Regiment. Only a few weeks later Prof. R. J. Smith and Prof. R. C. Oliver volunteered for service in the Y.M.C.A. The school was represented in every branch of the service and in every de¬ partment of the Red Cross. She has every reason to be proud of the part her sons and daughters played in the world conflict. With the fall of 1920 a plan of development of a greater institution was inaugurated, and evidence was given that we could be as heroic in peace as we had been brave in war. The dreams of the founders of this institution had by this time developed into realities. The depart¬ ments had been enlarged and strengthened, and the School of Education had been organized. New buildings had been added from time to time. In spite of poverty from lack of funds, the institution had been blest with wise, conscientious, and conservative leadership—a leadership that despaired not when it seemed there was no hope for the dawn of a brighter financial day. It had developed into a real college with the same entrance requirements as other colleges, and corresponding four- year courses leading to baccalaureate degrees. While it had grown to these proportions it was still handicapped by the name “Industrial,” and this great obstacle to its development was removed when the Constitutional Convention of 1921 changed the name to the Louisiana Polytechnic Institute. The first graduate of this great institution was Mr. Cecil Ready, who took his degree from the School of Engineering in June, 1921. The Constitutional Convention of 1921 was of especial importance to the school, not only because it gave to it the proper name, but also be¬ cause the attainment of this measure was brought about through the efforts of the graduates and former students of the school, who were members of that Convention. The resolution proposing the change of name was made by Hon. E. L. Walker, of the Class of 1913. Mr. Howard B. Warren, of the Class of 1899, was an outstanding figure in that Con¬ vention. The others, too numerous to mention, served faithfully in the cause of their Alma Mater, and Louisiana Tech can well be proud of her sons, who had a part in this important event in our State’s history. During the session 1922-1923, the school again heard the voice of Sorrow, in the death of Prof. J. G. Ray. He was a noble Christian gen- LPII Page seventeen SEprKe L.AC3JNTIAPPE 19Z51 tleman. He had been a member of the faculty for four years, and during that time we bad come to know him and to love him, and to value him for his true worth. Only six months later our beloved Mr. Thatcher was called to his reward. Twenty-four years of the life of Prof. George 0. Thatcher was given to this institution. He touched the lives of thou¬ sands of Louisiana’s sons and daughters, and he left them better because of his teaching and his influence. He was the noble example of preen sion, of exactness, and of justness. As a memorial to him the Alumni Association maintains a scholarship known as the Thatcher Memorial Loan Fund. While the school has had its sorrows its work has gone on. It has remained true of purpose and large of soul. Last year marked the twenty-seventh annual Commencement with the first graduate of the second generation, and the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Alumni As¬ sociation. At that time the Alumni presented an historical pageant of the institution, and entertained Col. A. T. Prescott, the first president, as their guest. The Alumni of the Louisiana Polytechnic Institute are proud of the place it occupies in the educational affairs of our State. They feel that they owe a standing moral obligation to the school that has fitted them for useful citizenship. The Alumni Association is an expression of that obligation. It is an expression of faith in their beloved Alma Mater. It is through the activities of this organization they endeavor to uphold her standards and to protect her honor, and to carry on for her welfare and her glory through faithful and devoted service.

Class, Y. M. C. A.; Representative to Indianapolis. Turn out the guard and the field music for here is the one, and the only one of his kind. He can steal a girl from any man, and is for¬ ever seeking new pastures. He, like Cupid, draweth a nasty bow. “Shackey’s” prowess does not end here. He is a good student and one of the best liked men on the hill. His optimistic good nature, and his unfailing and highly developed sense have won us all. Vaughn W. Barber .Summerfield, La. Candidate for B. A. from School of Education Hats off to the little town of Summerfield. Only once in a great while does a community have the honor of producing a man like Bar¬ ber. It is often said that the true test of a man s character is by virtue of his friend¬ ship, and surely no one can claim more friends than “Doc.” His winning personality and sunny disposition have endeared him to every¬ one. Born for success, he seems with grace to win, with heart to hold, with shining gifts that take all eyes. Page thirty I The LAGNIAPPE-19 J Amy Bond .Ruston, La. Candidate for B.

Cap and Gown, Summer ’24;; Pres., Cap and Gown, Spring ’25; J. 0. Y. S. S. Class, Editor Lag- niappe, ’25. Amy is as steadfast and as dependable as the rock of Gibraltar. She is always bubbling over with vitality, and always sees the humor¬ ous aspect of any situation. Amy is known to practically every student on the campus, and is hailed as a jolly good girl wherever she goes. In our sojourn through life, we meet people passing by, and probably never think of them again; but here is one person that it is a pleasure to remember. We hate to lose her, hut w r e are sure that we will hear from her in whatever profession she may make her life’s work. Aubrey W. Cumpton .Crew Lake, La. Candidate for B. S. from School of Commerce T. K. N. Fraternity, Cabinet Member Y. M. C. A., Member Baptist S. S., Band, ’23-’24-’25; Orchestra, ’24; Cap and Gown Club. Aubrey accepts life as it is, and worry is not likely to leave its marks on his features. His ambitions lie in the business world, and his success as a student here leaves no doubt as to his future success as a business man. Here’s to you, Aubrey; may your efforts be crowned with the success they deserve. Page thirty-one Phil T. Elliott .Coushatta, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree from School of Engineering Z. A. K. Fraternity. Our calm, cool Phil, whose smile is never lacking and is unexcelled in energy. Win or lose, he has the same old smile. He is a man, big-hearted, unselfish, and reliable. As a student he is envied and as a classmate he is admired; as a friend and pal he is true. Winnie D. Smith Evans .Ruston, La, Candidate for B. A. Degree in Pedagogy After several years of successful teaching Winnie D. returned to Tech to get lj|r de¬ gree. With her winnings way she has be¬ come friend to all. She is one of the hard¬ est workers on the hill. The grades she made while here will justify to this statement. A student, a true friend, a lady of the dualities that assure her success. Page thirty-tivo T. M. Gaskin .Vienna, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree from School of Engineering Selfishness is the greatest curse of the hu¬ man race. Were we all as unselfish and as thoughtful of others as T. M. this world would be Utopian. His good nature, even temperament and ready wit have won for him a place in the hearts of all who know him. To his classmates he is linked by that closest of ties—friendship. Nina Gill .Ruston, La. Candidate for B. S . in Home Economics In the study of psychology we learn that individuals differ in temperament and char¬ acteristics. This is as it should be. No one would care to live in a world in which no human being was different from another. We have no better example of this than Nina. The frivolity which destroys so many pre¬ cious moments seldom enters into her exist¬ ence. She has found time to make a host of friends, who will miss her when she is gone. Page thirty-three 4 LAG INTI APPE I92I Katherine Hale .Ruston, La. Candidate for B. A. Degree in Pedagogy Cap and Gown Club. As we go our separate ways we must thank Tech for bringing to us the friendship of such a girl as Katherine. Her not-to-be-forgotten personality will bring her success wherever she may go. She is just the kind of girl that will have a big Packard waiting for her at the pearly gates, while many others will ride in Fords in the opposite direction. We will miss hut never forget you. Norvie Hart .Trees, La. Candidate for B. A. Degree from School of Education Charter Member of W. A. A., Associate Edi¬ tor, ’25 Lagniappe; Cap and Gown Club, Y. W. C. A., ’22-’25; Methodist S. S. Class, T 22- r 25; Circulation Staff Spizz, Head of Hy¬ giene W. A. A. Norvie is a girl with little spoken and plenty thought. She works with a zeal that will some day bring victory. Tech has a right to he proud of her, for she has meant a great deal to the school, and her many friends she has gained while here. Success comes to those who work—true in heart and purpose.

He is true blue, a true friend, a real man; and because of his char¬ acter, personality, and ideals, we predict suc¬ cess for him. J. T. Huey .Ruston, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree from School of Engineering A quiet, hard working, unassuming man of sterling character. He is friendly, quiet and sincere. He is a fellow whose opinion must be asked before they are given. Furthermore, they are worth asking for. We like him and none of us doubt his making a success in life. Page thirty-five ICQgriPl CTKe LAGNlAPPE1925l Gertrude Johnson .Grant, La. Candidate for B S. Degree in Home Economics Sec., Baptist S. S., ’23; Y. W. C. A., Cap and Gown Club, and Band, ’22, ’23. “Friends, Romans, countrymen,” this is Gertrude, the sweetest girl in seven states. No apology for the superlative, for w r e love her. We cannot boast of a more conscientious girl than “Johnie.” Through life she will never want for friends for she has always extended a helping hand in time of need. Joy, honor and success will be yours. Oscar E. Huey .Pioneer, La. Candidate for B. A. Degree from School of Education Oscar came back to receive his degree after several years as a teacher in the high schools of North Louisiana. While a student here, with his ever-willing ways and his kindly smile, he made many friends who wish him success in the future. Page thirty-six 4 The LAO 1ST IAP PE 19251 V. L. McMullen .Dubach, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree from School of Engineering Mrs. Myra Clinton Jones .Clay, La. Candidate for B. A. Degree in School of Education Myra is the only one of her kind in cap¬ tivity. She always has a broad smile for everyone, and she can find conversational opportunities with any one at any time. She has been a full-fledged senior with high standing as a student of scholarship, and loy¬ alty to old Tech. T. K. N. Fraternity, Y. M. C.

It is not given to every man to see the silver lining in the clouds which often darken his horizon of life, nor does every man ac¬ knowledge that the universe was planned for good. That is where “Mac” gets more enjoy¬ ment out of life than most men, for he is above everything an optimist. “Mac” will never have to court success—she will come to him on the double. Page thirty-seven -WT rTHe Li ACj 1ST IAP PE • 1925 Allien Marshall .Simsboro, La. Candidate for B. A. Degree from School of Education Allien is a queer combination of common sense, and the ability to squeeze everything out of a book that is in it. She is our ideal of democracy, and, with her ambition, sets fire to ours. To know Allien is to know the true American girl,—sensible, sensitive, and pro¬ gressive. Pauline Marshall .Simsboro, La. Candidate for B. A. Degree from School of Education Pauline, as well as her twin sister, is an asset to our school. For Pauline “Old Man Work” is a twin and buddy. She is not happy unless her whole mind and heart are on a searching expedition between the covers of a book. She is making a splendid record as a teacher. Page thirty-eight 4 1 The L,A GJsriAPPE-lQ Vera Nelson .Ruston, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree in Home Economics Secretary, Baptist Sunday School, ’21, ' 22; Spizz Reporter for Junior Class, ’23; Glee Club, ’20-’25. Vera is a girl who will ever be remembered by those who were fortunate to become close friends with her. We know that her depth of personality, her true ideals and her sterling character will carry her far. We wish you every success in whatever you may go into. Alice Norris .Choudrant, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree in Home Economics Deep in the recesses of the soul of every human being there lurks a spirit of dissatis¬ faction and despondency which, if cultivated, makes pessimists of us all. The strength of character necessary to overcome this adverse current of thought is rarely accorded an indi¬ vidual. But Alice is among the favored few, and her good humor and hearty laugh dis¬ perse the clouds of melancholy from her path and surroundings. We were lucky enough to have Alice with us as a teacher after she graduated from Tech, Page thirty-nine The L.ACjJSriA0 El lQ25l Carrie Raines .McDade, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree in Home Economics Y. W. C. A., Band, Cap and Gown Club. Carrie came to us four years ago and has been diligently pursuing her course in Tech. In teaching Home Economics she will no doubt have success, for other students here have found it a difficult task to bring their work up to Carrie’s along this line. She doesn’t say much, but when she does, one can make sure that something worth hearing is spoken. May success be yours in the teaching profession. Mrs. Evelyn F. Riser .Ruston, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree in Home Economics Evelyn has a unique college career. She stayed with us two years, then Cupid crossed her path and kept her away from us several years, but after that time she joined us again. Her greatest assets are a winning smile and a convincing line. She knows that she has a fenced back yard, and sympathetically in¬ clined neighbors. 4 Page forty g I The L,AdNIAPpE -IQ 25 l - T-TT Paul Risinger .Spearsville, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree from School of Engineering No trial too small, no test too large, asking help from no one, giving help to all, that is Paul. A deep thinker, a hard worker, but with a smile for all. Verily, this is the man. Mary Bess Rorerts .Ruston, La. Candidate for B. A. Degree in Music Music, Glee Club. To Mary Bess class room and text books and teachers are robbers of the very joys of living. The call of a dreamy waltz or the purring of a big car is her real music of life and can blur any next day’s assignments. She lends a big interest in music, which she aspires to make her life work. Mary Bess is a lovable classmate. We appreciate your unselfish service and will long remember you for your music. Page forty-one Z EfTKe LAG 3NTIAPPE - Elsie Sutton .Ruston, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree in Home Economics Baptist Tech Class, ’22, ’23; Spizz Staff, ’23; Spizz Editor, ’23, ’24; Lagniappe Staff, ’23; Cap and Gown Club, ’23, ’24. Some four years ago Elsie entered our class. We little guessed at that time what a distin¬ guished personage this individual was to be¬ come. Time, of course, was the only thing that could tell the tale. Never a worthy hap¬ pening took place, but that Elsie had a promi¬ nent part in it. Her work at Tech speaks for her life’s best in her future career. Kathleen Trammell .Dubach, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree in Home Economics Kathleen is a girl who holds the individual qualities of steadiness, consistency, and thoughtfulness. When the test is put to her she will test the genuine, sound, 14-karat lady. We prophesy for her rows of granite pans, gleamingly white, and pigs, and chickens, and a dairy house. Page forty-two 4 I The LAOISTIAPPE 192£ l Gladys West .Bunkie, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree in Home Economics A twinkling optimist. She chatters on in¬ cessantly and delightfully. She does many things well, and even captivates the hearts of nice, tall men. Gladys is always free from worry, and always gets results. We are con¬ fident with all these good qualities she will make her mark in future life. Mrs. Dora Mae Huey Henderson, Pioneer, La Candidate for B. S. Degree in Home Economics Dora Mae did not spend four successive years with us, for Cupid ' s net entangled her. However, she joined us last year, and we were so glad to have her with us. She is the kind of a girl that is capable of mixing love and business with pleasure, as she has demon¬ strated this at school. - Page forty-three James Allen Norris .Choudrant, La. Candidate for B. S. Degree from School of Commerce A loyal acquaintance, one whom anyone would be proud to claim as a friend. His cheerfulness and individuality are marked proofs of his genuine personality. His care¬ free manner and his unselfishness have made for him many friends who will ever cherish his friendship in the days to come.

He coached a basketball team, selected from the gym squad, which played some games with school teams in this part of the state.

Passes were the feature of the game. Next the Bulldogs visited the Lone Star State and met the St. Edwards Saints, who won by a score of 28-12. With one victory, one tie game, and six defeats, the 1924 season was one of the hardest fought in years. The new coach, with an almost entirely new team who had never played together and some who knew very little about football, made a fast, hard-fighting team with no surplus weight to brag about. The first game ended in a 0-0 tie with the Louisiana College Wildcats. The game was played on the home field. Our next game was with Tulane in New Orleans, who defeated the Bulldogs by a score of 42-12.

[Trie LAGNIAPPE-1925 1 For the first time in several years the Bullpups had some real games of their own. Their first game was with Lisbon High in Lisbon. The game was hard fought from start to finish and some good plays were pulled on both sides. The only score made came in the last quarter, when the Bullpups scored on a thirty-five-yard drop kick. The next game was played on the home field with the team of Jonesboro High. Both teams played a good game but the “pups” let the visitors get away with the larger side of a 14-to-7 score. The rest of the Bullpups’ time was spent in bucking against the varsity, getting them in shape for the games that they were to play. Just watch the “pups” go. Some day they will be real Bulldogs and show the same fighting spirit that they showed against these high school teams. Page ninety-five The boys residing in the dormitory are required to participate in some form of athletics, so for those who do not play football or baseball a director is provided who gives the boys a drill in sitting up exercises or allows them to play the inter¬ esting game of indoor baseball or basketball. The exercises this term were under the leadership of Mr. W. R. Cline, who is giving the boys a thorough drill each day. The indoor baseball is under the leadership of W. H. Beck. Page ninety-six 4 4 The I A G 1STIAPPE-19231 The basketball team which was picked from the gym squad received some very valuable practice with Jack Bagwell as coach. They played several match games, winning most all that they played. Some of the boys proved to be real basketball players and with the right coaching Tech could develop a basketball team equal to most any school of her size. Page ninety-seven 4 Men taking track were given regular workouts daily in all forms of track events under the direction of Coach Wight. At the end of the season a meet was held between the freshmen and old men in which the freshmen were defeated by a score of 53 to 37. No meet was entered into with any other school this year hut a good track team is expected for next year which will be allowed to enter intercollegiate meets.

For the first time the freshmen have had a team and have played several games with high school teams and with freshmen teams of other colleges. They promise to make a strong team for Tech next year. The weakest side of the Tech team this year is the pitching staff. The schedule for this season was harder than previous schedules and some real games have been played.

The Womens Athletic Association has already celebrated its second anniversary, and during that time much has been accomplished. The membership of the club has grown from twenty charter members to sixty active members. Entrance in this organization is gained by making varsity teams in any of the sports that are offered in gym: volley-ball, basketball, tennis, track, and baseball. Also, many of the girls are near the goal of one thousand points necessary for gaining the letter “T”, which makes them members of Tech Club. Last year W. A. A. sponsored the entrance of L. P. I. in the National Women’s Telegraphic Track Meet, in which we placed seventh out of the many colleges entered. We are expecting to do even better this vear. Another thing which was a great success, was our W. A. A. Circus given to entertain the freshmen. Everybody came dressed as little girls and boys, and a merry time was enjoyed. W. A. A. was represented at the National Conference, by our director, Miss Edna Arnold, who organized the association and has helped create a love of sports amon rr the girls. ° All the girls enjoy gym, and enjoy taking it, and consider it a great honor when they become an eligible member. We have as our purpose the promotion of athletics, the creation of a love of sports, and the fostering of good sportsmanship.

I. class, has endeavored to perpetuate the true religious spirit of the Louisiana Tech, students. This class has done much to help the new students adjust themselves to the strange surroundings. It has helped the old students real¬ ize that their religious obligations should not end when they leave their mother church, but become even greater, in that they have a wider individual field in which to wield their influence for good. The motto, “You bring the one next to you, and I’ll bring the one next to me,” has proven a very successful one, which helps to keep alive the true spirit of brotherhood.

It hopes to be a worth-while factor in the life of our Alma Mater. Its purpose is to serve, ser e others. The success it attains in carrying out this purpose is measured or limited by the support the alumni give it. It deserves a loyal and generous support from every member. The association is attempting to do one big thing. That thing is to get every alumnus to subscribe to tbe Thatcher Memorial Loan Fund. The first goal it is striving to reach is five thousand dollars by commencement in 1927. It can be done with ease if every member will do his duty. This fund will lend money at a low rate of interest to deserving and ambitious young men and women who have completed the first two years of a college course and who could not otherwise obtain a degree at Tech. It will be administered by a loan committee appointed by the association and under rules and regulations pre- scribed by it. The fund is raised by voluntary subscriptions or donations from the Tech Alumni. The annual dues are $2.50. Life membership dues are $25.00. This amount may be paid in one payment, or it may be paid in five annual payments of $5.00 each. If paid annually, the whole must be paid within six years of the date of the first pay¬ ment. All the money derived from the life membership dues goes into the loan fund. That derived from the annual dues goes into the general funds of the association and may be used for any legitimate purpose. A certificate suitable for framing will be issued to life members and their names will be placed upon the Honor Roll of the association. A large number of loyal and generous alumni have already made their subscriptions for life certificates. This loan fund is a monument to a great and beloved teacher, the late Professor George 0. Thatcher. It is not noble only because of the one it commemorates, but because of the effect it will have in uplifting character and in the training of the minds of our youth—in making citizenship of the highest type. Let’s say with Paul of old: “This one thing I do.” E. L.

Notice to Readers! On this fourteenth day of October, the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, the Louisiana Polytechnical In¬ stitution, of the Western Hemisphere, Conti¬ nent of North America, Country of United States, State of Louisiana, Parish of Lincoln, City of Ruston, in order to show the great love for its student body, did, on above date, serve said student body with baked apples. This great occasion will never be forgotten by the old students, as this is the first time in the history of said institution that this noble feat was accomplished. This is one of the greatest steps toward ad¬ vancement of said institution that has oc¬ cur red since its foundation, and it is the de¬ sire of the said student body to see their school go forward by leaps and bounds. Gangway! Hurry the baby as fast as you can. Hurry him, worry him, make him a man. Off with his baby clothes, get him in pants, Feed him on brain foods and make him advance. Hustle him, as soon as he’s able to walk, Into a grammar school; cram him with talk. Fill his poor head full of figures and facts, Keep on a-jamming them in till it cracks. Once a boy grew up at a rational rate. Now we develop a man while you wait. Rush him through college, compel him to grab Of every known subject a dip and a dab. Get him in business and after the cash, All by the time he can grow a moustache. Let him forget he was ever a boy. Make gold his god and its jingle his joy. Keep him a-hustling and clear of breath, Until he wins—nervous prostration and death. Psalm of a Chemistry Student Mr. Reese is my teacher, I shall not pass. He leadeth me to expose my ignorance Before the class. He maketh me write equations on the board For my grade’s sake. Yea, though I study until midnight I cannot understand Chemistry; For equations and formulas shall trouble me. He prepareth problems for me In the presence of mine enemies; He giveth me a low grade, My work runneth under. Surely 0 s and 25’s shall follow me All the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the book of Chemistry forever. —A Chemistry Student.

Page one hundred and sixty-one s - |TKe LAG NIAP PE • 19251 THE SPORTSMAN’S “IF” If you can tell the truth when all lying About their catch of fish or brace of fowl; If you can watch the daylight swiftly dying. And see your empty creel and then not howl; If you can kill a bear—a grizzly hoary That tops the scales at mighty near a ton— And close your mouth and never tell the story, When other men are telling what they’ve done; If you can lie beneath your trusty jitney With oil and carbon roosting in your hair. And hear the question, “Are you having trouble?” And never swear a solitary swear; If you can make your bed on solid boulders - And smile, when gray dawn makes you early rise With tired limbs, swollen feet, and aching shoulders. And ashes lodged securely in your eyes; If you can spend the long, hot day a-fishing, And fight mosquitoes till you think you’ll die, Then have a twenty-pounder break your leader. And not decide to sit right down and cry; If you can look me squarely in the optics And say you do these things and do them well. Then you’re a freak, a liar and a scoundrel; 1. You’re not a human; you belong in—a side show.
