ON THE WAY UP TO OLD COLLEGE HILL Campus life crammed with a myriad of memories . . . Class- going and class-cutting, dates, dances, bull sessions, bal games, concerts, trips, and assemblies . . . These made up our year of 1948 at Northwestern State College . . .

These are the things we like to remem- THERE. S A PLACE WHERE THE Our year was, in a sense, a new era, symbolized by the purple-and-white Northwestern State flag which made its first appearance in the early fall . . . We had a new president, new faculty members, hundreds of new students, a new pep squad, a new flag pole, a new student body con- stitution, and a new legislature. ODVE, But there was still an abundance of reminders that change is slow and never without its challengers . . . There were jalopies galore which some- times sputtered and coughed their way about the campus and some- times refused to run at all . . . There was the rain, gallons and gallons and buclcetfuls of it . . . There was the N on the water tank and Cald- well Hall . . . These remained as they had been. F I E I tlGHr tf F E DE W S Who, ah who, can forget the registration day lines and the bewi ' dered looks on the faces of freshmen . . . the State Fair trip, the parade, the pep rally on the square, and the beauties who reigned as State Fair Maids at the game ... or black, black cups of Field House coffee consumed in hot gulps between classes ... or the brand new squad of uniformed De- monettes marching smartly in step across the football field . . . Who can forget the way our year began? THEY LOVE. theiu: s Do you remember . . . swaying to the steady rhythm of Demo naire music . . . craining your neck in tho hot sun to watch the Home coming parade . . . waiting in line at the post office window for a package . . . the way President Gibson ' s bald head looked covered in the brown, fluffy wig presented him at the Christmas assem THE FACES And do you remember . . . the shaved freshman heads covered with freshman caps . . . the couples on campus benches . . . canoeing on Chaplain ' s Lake . . . the friendly formal and informal receptions . . . the ten minutes of dashing to and from classes between every period . . . the queen and her court of Homecoming day? It was these hundreds of little things which passed before we knew they were gone, that made our year memorable. t ii i: ii i: ii E ' S i ii T ii i: That intangible thing called school spirit swept over us all, and we screamed and yelled for our team an6 fought with them from the sidelines . . . When the Demons won it was our victory . . . And when they lost, we chalked it up to a bad strealt of luck, which we never doubred would break, as it always did.

The happy times, the fun we had, the lifelong friendships we began — it is about all these things that we reminisce now that the year is over. MAY THE YEARS EVER HRIGHTEN THE LIGHT 1MB!

F. G. FDURNET • • • WE PflOUDLY 20 DEDICATE • • MR. JOSEPH E.GIBSON FROM THE OFFICE 22 D F This POTPOURRI is the pictorial record of our association together this year as a college community. The antics of college life and the pictures especially may seem quaint to us in future years, but the ideals toward which we strive and the growth which we may achieve, we believe, will be as worthy then as they are worthwhile now. All the friends and the members of Northwestern State College of Louisiana want to see it give emphasis to its finest traditions. They want it also to make changes and adaptions to the new occasions and the new duties required of a college in our erupting modern society. To achieve and maintain its status as a college that does these things, it should: 1. Retain those superior and industrious members of the faculty who have done so much to make this College what it is today. 2. Attract to this campus superior and resourceful men and women to fill faculty vacancies. 3. Draw to the College superior young high school graduates — the speakers, the writers, the good students, the natural leaders, and the natural athletes — in other words, the elite and gifted young people of Louisiana who are seriously interested in work and growth in an environment most favorable to higher education. 4. Obtain increased state appropriations for the employment of superior men and as teachers, and for the extension and improve- ment of the College plant (a new science building, additional dormi- tories for men and women, a larger and air-conditioned library, better teacher-education facilities are among our plant needs). 5. Develop an espirif de corps so fine that all students and former stu- dents will say with pride, I belong to Northwestern State College of Louisiana and that old place belongs to me. When we pick up this annual in the years to come, it will be interesting to consider the extent to which we have been able to do these things. JOSEPH E.GIBSON, President THE PRESIDENT.. 23 ACADEMIC DEANS Including the departments of Art, Languages, Library Science, Mathematics, Music, Sciences, Social Sciences, and a well-rounded pre-professional curricula, the School of Arts and Sciences has recently developed into an inte- gral part of the college. Headed by Dean C. E. Dugdale, this academic divi- sion has seen a tremendous increase of students and has recruited a large group of competent teachers to keep pace with the growing demands of our post-war civiliza- tion. DR. C. E. DUGDALE D «n of th« School of Artt jnd So nc«i The School of Education, which serves as one of the chief teacher training agencies of the state, supplies its students with an extensive teacher-education program that meets favorably with contemporary needs. To assure a sound background, and a working knowl- edge of the teaching profession, this school provides suitable curricula and two training schools for its pros- pective educators. Dean John Robson heads a large and efficient staff of instructors in this department. DR. JOHN ROBSON D «n of th« School of Education SOCIAL DEANS Comparatively a rookie in the administrative staff at Northwestern State, Dean of Women Martha Gannaway has already demonstrated that she has not only the know how and willingness, but also a genuine affection for the womenfolks. Miss Gannaway, as Dean of Women, is responsible for the general welfare of all women students. Her duties are directed not solely to the academic phase of the women students ' life, but she also serves as coordinator of their social program and advisor of their student government. In one of his many capacities of service to North- western State, H. Lee Prather as Dean of Men has given the office a reputation for fairness, friendliness, and a firm, genuine interest in the good of the students. He gives freely of his ability and unique personality. The Dean of Men is in charge of all men ' s dormitories, regulation of academic standards, and serves as an arbi- ter in certain infractions of men ' s rules.

Mrs. Hill, as acting-registrar, handles all scho- lastic records, controls degree requirements, and super- vise: registration and transfer of students. Serving in the important office of Director of Student Personnel, Dr. Gerber is responsible for the welfare of all students and is coordinator of co ' lege veteran ' s affairs.

S T U D E IV T The Student Council, legislative organ of the Student Body Association, is composed of rep- resentatives from each class and the student body of large. Northwestern State has for many years been justly proud of its student govern- ment which is based on sound democratic prin- ciples and a progressive spirit. Attempting to improve the system of student government on the campus the Student Council sent a group of students and faculty members to the university of Florida to obtain information concerning the honor system in operation there. Serving as hosts at the Tech-Northwestern foot- ball game, the council entertained the Student Senate of Tech at a banguet prior to the game. Taking advantage of every opportunity to further activities of interest to the Student Body, the council aided financially in providing uniforms for cheerleaders and the newly formed pep sguad, the Demonettes.

With the purposes of building higher standards of citizen- ship on the campus among the men students and to eguitably administer justice through a student sponsored judicial tribunal of men the court, in itself, serves as a definite step forward in the trend to a more responsible student government. The Student Honor Court is a self-perpetuating body with its justices selected each year by the court from an eligible list of appointees presented by the dormitory councils. The men are selected on the basic of their character, leadership ability, scholarship, integrity, and general interest in the welfare of the students. They must be of Junior standing and residents of the campus. When appointed to this seven man court of eguity the justices serve until their graduation. Projects of the court include the presentation of Freshman awards to a number of men stu- dents who, in the opinion of the court, best exem- plify the ideals of citizenship in their campus life during the preceeding year. As a special project this year, the Honor Court, in coalition with the student council sent representatives to the Uni- versity of Florida to investigate a strong student governmental system and presented a report of their findings in an effort to arouse the students ' interest and possibly improve local student government.

THE C U H H E N T Somehow during the pest yeer the Current Sauce staff managed to meet its deadlines each week, paste some pictures on the wall, and print enough subversive ' material to assure student interest. Under the regime of Editor Martin, the Sauce blazoned forth with a new banner and an unheard of interest in page makeup. Featuring the year s work, were the editor s hard hitting, and in some instances far reaching editorials, a phenomo- nal growth in expression of student opinion through the Letters to the Editor and the administering of the coup d ' etat to Satan s Satire. In addition to as complete a coverage of the campus news as possible, the policy of this year ' s Current Sauce was to emphasize the journalistic standing of the paper. Moving from Fine Arts to Caldwell, the office of the Sauce retained its newsroom atmosphere with all of the news hawks and card addicts present. La Delle Sandifer found enough free time to be Martin ' s chief cohort, Jimmy Falkner and Leon Lindsay managed to get in enough sports to keep the athletics reasonably satisfied, John McConnell and Joe Choate added the needed fea- tures, Essie Gabbert and Gene Hill attempted to keep the women flattered and pacified in their Society column and Jack Colton was head of the financial affairs.

It floundered half the year without a head. It floundered the other half in an effort to grow one. It looked as though it might never come out. It finally did. A disjointed, unorthodox staff was epitomized in the person of Bill Flory, whose name appears as editor on the title page. Don Mike Stothart, holdover from years back, supplied the con- fidence and a good deal of the work and official- ly was the Business Manager. Associate Editor, Tom Phillips, put in his l ackadaisical efforts when ever pushed. On paper, the staff ran something like this. Harrison Young, Organizations; Jimmy Falkner and Jack Cummings, Sports; June Lambert, Art; Bob Weimar, Copy; and Helen Melder, Margie Knight, Joanne Russell, Typists. In addition to their paying jobs, Flory and Stothart chased over the campus all hours of the day making the neces- sary pictures to give as complete a picture of campus life as possible. DON M.

' VUBJUI pmmi mi imnio Tlkrt THE NAHHATIVE Founded in the summer of 1947, NARRATIVE serves an agency for the stimulation of creative writing particularly on the campus and the state as a whole. NARRATIVE, published bi-monthly, carries manuscripts which are presented from the faculty and students and contributions throughout the country. A group of English and Library Science majors, wording in cooperation with faculty members from the above departments, established the literary magazine as a private venture but after the first issue, publication costs were borne by the college and the magazine gained its place as a regular college sponsored periodical. The student editors and co-founders were Jack Thompson. Clyde Miller, and Harold Lewing. Students who served on the staff during the magazine ' s first year of publication were Bobbie Myers, Creighton Hall, Maxine Vallery, Allen Longhi, Leslie Humble. Faculty consultants were Dr. C. E. Dugdale, Dr. Sarah L. D. Clapp, Miss Mamie Bowman and Mr. Eugene Watson. Humble, Hall. Lewing, Miller. Thompjon. Vallery. Longhi 42 IV. S. C. DEBATE Upholding the college ' s previous forensic re- cord, the 1947-1948 varsity debate sguad com- peted in five invitational tournaments with a re- cord comparable to previous teams. The squad, made up largely of neo phytes, and coached by R. L. Ropp scored successful in its first meet of the year, held at East Central State College of Oklahoma. Harriet Turner and Mary Alice Barber won first place honors in the inex- perienced division, and Jan-An LeBlanc and Betty Jane Kennedy copped the championship in the junior women ' s division. Alford Clark and Wayne Martin fought their way through a large field of competent speakers to clinch a tie for second place in the senior men ' s division at L.S.U. Debating in the Mid-South tourney the above team won the consolation rounds while Turner and Barber won second place in the Senior Women ' s bracket. Other tournaments competed in by the North- western State speakers were the Southern in Nashville, Tennessee and their own invitational meet held here. R. L. ROPP Coach THE PURPLE MISS CATHERINE WINTERS Faculty Spontor With service as its motto and its unfailing tradition, the Purple Jacket Club holds the dis- tinction of beinq the oldest honor organization on the campus. Its membership is a complement of ten sorority and eleven non-sorority girls who serve the college as its official representatives and in other capacities whenever asked to do so. The girls who receive the high honor of being named to membership in the Club at the annual Spring Calling are chosen on the basis of scholar- ship, leadership, and loyalty to the Alma Mater. The aim of each Purple Jacket is the building of a greater Northwestern State College; to this end the group remains ready to serve. The P. J.

DAVIS Director Still retaining its full instrumentation and balance, the Northwestern State Band has pro- vided a welcome and entertaining program as well as a colorful representation for the school on many occasions. Participating in home foot- ball games and the all-important Tech game at the state fair, the band provided the needed boost to school spirit both with its intermittent peppy music and with its precision maneuvers executed on the field. In addition to its function as an integral part of the football and basketball seasons, the band plays two annual concerts during the school year which together with activities of the other music organizations on the campus provide a well rounded music program. 46 B A Rf D Under the baton of Bandmaster Dwight Davis a new policy has been initiated this year giving the group another opportunity to represent the college. Beginning March 2 I the band made a two day tour of the high schools in the northern part of the state and on March 27 a second tour was made of the central and southern sections with three concerts being given each day. The open air concerts of light music which proved so popular last year during the spring months were continued this year in the square between the Fine Arts building and the student center providing entertainment during the late afternoon. m vt III H II D I R DONALD G. GLATTLY Dirtctor Under the direction of Donald G. Glattly, the college choir has grown into one of the best trained and most widely-known musical groups both on and off the campus. With a masterful blending of 150 voices, the choir presented two major concerts on the campus during the school year. The first of the two was the presentation of Handel ' s Messiah preceeding the Christmas vacation. This in itself is an achievement of no small acclaim. In the spring, the musical group gave a creditable performance of a program con- taining a large number of choral selections. larger choir, The College Singers forms a more compact and experienced organization and serves in lieu of the Choir when a smaller group is need- ed. Serving as the traveling squad the College Singers conducted a spring tour of this section of the state, and performed on various occasions off the campus. One of these special programs was presented at the annual meeting of the Louisiana Teachers Association in Alexandria. THE SYMPHONY JOHN SHENAUT Conductor Under the able leadership of John Shenaut the Northwestern State Symphony has proved itself to be one of the finest music organizations of its kind in the state. Besides giving its formal con- cert this year, the orchestra joined forces with the choir in the annuel presentation of the Messiah . Other activties of the group includ- ed participation in the commencement exercises and supplying the music for the drama tic depart- ment ' s production of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream . fl-3 - A ' ♦. THE DEMD lAIflE S With a flair of showmanship, a group of voca- lists, smooth arrangements of new and old popu- lar tunes, and a new leader, the Demonaires fea- tured a new look. Edmund Durham, the new leader, directed the dance band as it provided music for the all-college dances and numerous private functions. Members of the band and vocalists are: Saxophones: Les Gillespie, Bailey Winderweedle, Herman Gauthier and Therrell Hassell; Trumpets: Bob Noonan and Johnny Davis; Trombones: Paul Gaines, and Harold Porter. Bill Smith played the Bass, Eugene Flores was at the drums and Carolyn Jones accompanied on the piano. Vocalists were Dot Morgan, Evelyn Claire Hollis, Johnnie Mae Campbell and Johnny Davis. EDMUND DURHAM Director 51 SIGURD RASCHER Sdiophoniit EMILE RENAN ARTIST With Dr. Robert B. Capel as chairman the Artist Series committee has succeeded in bring- ing to the campus a varied and entertaining pro- gram of well-known artists. In selecting the pro- gram for the year, the committee seeks to ar- range a balanced and varied program which will have wide appeal and interest among the stu- dents.

Jju £ ■ THE SENIOR CLASS And so we lose the class of ' 48. There ' s the usual tear, sigh, and smile. In this class was the last of those who hit the campus in the late thirties and the early forties and had taken time out to travel abroad. These were not the general run of graduates. In their minds they won- dered if they had really made the best of their opportunities at North- western. Many had followed quite different courses than they had ori- ginally planned. The war changed a lot of things. They were entering a different world than they had expected to live in when they first came to the hill . Here was a world of realism, responsibility, and great oppor- tunity. And now they were beginning to realize that it was time to apply what they had acquired here in graspinq those opportunities. It suddenly dawned on them that in May they would take leave of friends who had grown dear to them and of a way of life the likes of which they may never know again. They found themselves thinking about how pleasant life on the hill had been and that for most of them collegiate life was a thing of the past. It was of these and other things that the 48 seniors began to think about as May approached. May loomed as a month of merriment and melancholy. To the married man it marked the start of a more normal home life. To the aspiring teacher it meant a switch from the desk to the lecture-stand and to the rest it meant the start on the road to success and a launching of a career. Yes, with the appearance of caps and gowns came the usual tear, sigh, and smile. 58 We seniors have plenty of lime for coffee ' But more time for this ' OFFICERS WILFRED CUMMINGS President ALICE JONES Vice-President BILLIE FAYE ADAMS Secretary-Treasurer 59 MARGARET ARINGTON MARGARET BARNES BILLIE FAYE ADAMS FREDERICK IASCO SARAH GLYNN ADAMS JOHN A RASKIN oue Agri dSelow • MARGARET ABINGTON.

They were the first post- war Freshman Class; they doubled the enrollment, hung the no vancancy sign on erst-while vacant dormitories, and swelled the ranks of a depleted male population. And now they call themselves juniors. They ' ve watched their class grow as pre-war model s of upper-classmen returned from the fracas. More and more, Tech became the common foe as new comers were indoctrinated in friendly competition, and the old Demon spirit gained a rebirth. Yes, this was the class that led the way toward a greater Northwestern State. Some of them set new marks in academic achievement; others made their bid to campus fame to the tune of the Field House juke box; while still others revived the Demon reputation on the gridiron, the hardwood and from the rostrum. The way was clear and they took it in their stride. Now they look back. They stand on the threshold of filling the pluto- cratic shoes of seniors. Who can deny they ' re well equipped to lace those shoes. Together, they have played a major role in making the new N.S.C. a leader in Louisiana collegiate circles. 68 Now this thermocracken fits on the gizmo — OFFICERS JAMES O.

A new era for the college began with this class. For the first time in our history there were more men than lassies on the roles. From this unique class came a tendency toward a more ma- ture approach to college life, its problems and diversions. But there was more than just a spiritual change. The college found it- self at the height of the renaissance ' ' and the real test was begun. Dormitories filled up: new ones were built. New faces took the lecture stands. The dining hall became a crowded cafeteria. Vet ' s Town sprang up and the baby carriage became a common campus vehicle, the V.F.W. and Amvets took their place as organizations, and the Field House hustlers began to take a second look at a co-ed ' s third finger before putting on the heat. They came with firey spirit and no time for colleciate foolishness. Criticism and credit, criterions and changes flew fast and furiously. Those who chose to go fraternity often balked at a lot of the tom-foolery of the old days; many iust balked. But now they ' ve settled down. They ' re Sophomores now and much of the old fire is gone. It has been replaced by solid proqress and com- promising change. Signs of the times were weighed and heeded, and the colleqe was well on the way toward a greater and grander North- western State College. 80 ' Column MAUI ANN ABATE • I ' .on Late Charles OAVIO P ADAMS JR Pre Med Plain Dealing ROBBIE SUE ADAMS Ruti tt Coushette MIS C S ADKINS Upper Elemental Couthette LINTON ALLEN Agriculture Plain Dealing NELL AUEN Speech Winntield ROBERT L ALLEN jtion Florien AUGUSTO ALONSO Engneering Meiico PAUL W ARNOLIE JR ' ition Second Column Port Sulphur DON ATKINSON Accounting Glenmora JO ANNE AUSTIN Home Economics Shre eport ■ ILLY JACK BAKER Agriculture Couthette MAX ANN BAMBURG Mulic Mertha«ille MARGIE 1 IARNETT Home Economict Plain Dealing DAVELYN RARR English Vivian JOSEPH MICHAEL IARRON Boston, Mats Pre-Engineering CARLEY R BASCO Dietetics Gorum GEORGE MAC RASKIN JR Agriculture Third Column Raskin BETTY JEAN BASS Kentwood Secretarial Science MYRTIS BATES Cattor Home Economict GWENDOLYN BATTEN Buiinett Adminittretion Natchitoches JERRY W BEAVERS Agricultuie Marthaville DOLORES A BEEBE Social Science Lena Station ALIDA M BISHOP Home Economic!

Band and accessories Guarding the campus THE FRESHMAN CLASS They came in with the usual blaze of freshman activities. The Dogs were promptly classified according to head shape and hairline; and pul- chritude, why, the class of ' 51 had good looking women of all fashions and shapes — With their first impression of the college came the bitter and the sweet. The registration lines, the unsure qroping for friends, the first night in the dormitory, and the apparent cruelty of the upperclassmen, all contributed to a feeling of uncertainly and the inevitable case of home-sickness. This was the bitter. But, then came the freshman picnic, the beauty contest, the frosh dance, and the first football game with its pajama and shoe-race pagentry. Yes, the Dogs ' freshly shaven heads began to tan in the September sun and then came the realization that there was a chance for survival. The girls began to notice their lowly classmates of the opposite sex and found that they were just as good as those cock-sure high school seniors they had known at home. And to give the lucky (or was it unlucky) ones a thrill was the ever-present set of upper-classmen Wolves. All of this made up sweet. Dog caps were discarded, hair was parted, fraternities and sororities rushed, and classwork came to be an every-day affair. The l947- ' 48 freshman class was transformed from a group of homesick, straggling younsters, to rational, ambitious young men and women commonly re- ferred to as college students. 90 Firtt Column BETTY ANN ADAMS Natchitoches Hee 1 Physical Education JAMES ADKINS lul«en Natchitoches HELEN ALEXANDER Horn Economic C va OLA ALLEN Homo Economic Keatchie KATHRYN ANDREWS Ctie- Me-, SA  , PAT ANDRY Medical Technology Aleiandria JAMES H ANTEE Pre-Engineering Montgomery DORA ALICE ARMSTRONG Ida Secretarial Seance Second Column SUE ARNAUD Jonesville HM II and Phytic !

U ' bjch Taylc Johmon THE CHEERLEADERS I Their yells and cheers, their pep meetings, and bonfires contributed much to moulding that insoluble 1947 Demon spirit. The cheerleaders withstood rains, bad looking scores and in some instances a stubborn student body in their very commendable efforts to give moral support to the teams. Heading the sextet of cheerleaders was Bo Taylor, who with Marty Broussard, Jo Johnson, Don Brasseaux, Jo Lewis and Gene Urbach, exert- ed efforts and reached results that cannot be just- ly tributed in these few words. 143 THE DEMOIVETTES An attractive addition to the Northwestern State gridiron festivities this year was an all-girl pep squad called the Demonettes. They contri- buted much to the halftime ceremonies of the Demon football games with their snappy march routines and their work with the band in marching formations.

It wasn ' t the best we ' ve had but it certainly wasn ' t the worst. We didn ' t place in tha conference but there were some thrilling moments and some stellar performances. Those of you who followed the Demons through the season noticed the steady and surprising improvement. Those of you who didn ' t, heard about it.

Believe me, he was overjoyed at the chance to iterate his part in victor- ious NSC teams and the mistakes in defeated elevens. We were afraid to let him take more than the football season on his maiden flight, so we compelled the sports editors to handle the rest of the athletic section. We watched him closely as he wrote, so that nothing would get into print that would start another Civil War.

Center ROBERT WILLIAMSON. End I had my pitchfork sharpened and shined for the first qame of the season, but a rough and ready Arkansas University team, angered after my boys nearly upset them last year, romped to a 64-0 win over my Demons, and put a black mark on our record too, too early. Boy, was I hot! Not only did they run up a tremendous score against us, but bunged the lads up pretty badly. I told Harry Turpin — you know, Raqs and I have been close buddies for years — before the game that it was going to be a tough one, and it was. We ended up with a minus two yards gained from scrimmage. I was so mad, I nearly gave the Hogs a hotfoot. i The Demons almost score on third down against Southeastern ■■■i GABRIEL BARKATE Guard BOBBY JANTZ Halfback HAROLD HARLAN Tackle JOHNY ROBERTSON End EAST TEXAS WAS ROUGH Too many penalities and weak passing spelled defeat for my favorite football team at the hands of East Texas State Teacher ' s College. I nearly burned a hole in the bench when I glanced at that final score — 27-0, my steaming slippers! All week Harry put the boys through their paces on a passing defense and by the end of the week we were loaded for bear. But the Texans came with their guns a-smoking and we got lost in the shuffle. They scored twice on us during the first half, but in the third period, the home team buckled down and held the cowboys scoreless, with the line playing superb defensive ball. Early in the fourth period Bachelor — a fine player if I ever saw one and I ' ve seen plenty — uncorked a beauti- ful pass to Griffin for their third tally. That play was one for the books. A couple of my boys — Bill Quinn and Dusty Rhodes — carried the fight to Texas and for a while Sam Houston ' s boys had to really hustle. I missed the real thrill, however. While I went out for a fresh supply of brimistone, Denver Loupe, Bobby Jantz and Dave Coyle got to the Texas 14 on short gains. They overwhelmed us in every department, running up I I first downs to our five, gaining 368 yards from scrimmage to 103 for our side and completing ten passes for 162 yards, while we completed one for three. We accumulated several injuries to add to those we picked up at Arkansas. Oh, that was a mean one. I ' ll never eat pork chops again as long as I have a flicker of flame left. I vowed that Louisiana College, our next foe, had better watch out, because my Demons were ready to hit the win column. I was pretty sure that we would take La. College, too, as was everybody else. James Lancaster and Jackson stop Hawkins in a flurry of bodies during East Texas fracas. Wilton breakt loot in Southwcttarn gam for a firtt down. And we did beat Louisiana Colleqe. We beat ' em bad — 47-7. Vic- tory tasted good after the Arkansas (ugh!) a. id the East Texas games. I still feel like taking those Arkansas players home with me some day. Ninty-one points were scored on us in our first two games, but we caught up a little in this one. We beat the Wilcats in all departments — even in penalties. We lost 135 yards on penalties, and La. College got four of their 10 first downs on gratis yardage. Rhodes, Bobby Johnson, Bobby Jantz, Coyle and two Freshman backs, Sammie Cox and Don Purser did mighty fine in the backfield. Dynamite ' ' Dunn and Bubba Sibley played stellar ball on the line.

Dave kicked two extra points to push my boys out in front 14-12 after three quarters but the scoreboard didn ' t tell the whole story of how the Lion got his hair singed. I did plenty of sweating during that scoreless last quarter, when we held a slim two-point lead. I knew all the time that Dave would come through with those accurate boots of his, but I never thought it would mean as much in a game. Nobody did any good in the first quarter but not far in the second we had the Lion by the tail. This didn ' t last lonq because at the half we trailed 12-7 and Mr. Ropp ' s statistic sheet looked bad for us. Somethinq had to be done!! With pitchfork firmly in hand, I stomped up and down the side- lines doinq everythinq except qet in it myself. We had to win! The lads came throuqh in grand style. The second half was a field day.

We made 13 first downs to nine for the Lions and totaled 230 yards from scrimmage to 173 and completed two passes for 64 yards. My head swelled three sizes as the big team was cheered off the field.

I Quinn takes a Tech punt and heads downfield WAS A TRAGEDY Following the advice of some used car dealers I pal around with, I sold my old pitchfork to a strawberry farmer for enough to buy a brand new one just a week before the ill-fated State Fair game. I borrowed a few old football helmets from Harry and hocked them for a new cape. I was ready for those Bulldogs, and I was determined that they ' d go back to Ruston with that sorry excuse for a tail tucked between their legs, but things seemed to go wrong from the first. As soon as Joe Rabb got his hands on the ball, the Techmen went wild, and the Demon line seemed to be unable to stop those Dog backs. My little Demons couldn ' t seem to gain more than two or three yards at a try, and the longest run of the game for Northwestern was turned in by Rhodes, who reeled off a 19-yard gain early in the second quarter. We went four scoreless quarters, while Tech scored three touchdowns and an eight-yard field goal. At haiftime, I sat back on the bench and thought about past games. We had a team that could and did win. I wondered why we couldn ' t seem to get started. Certainly there was spirit. The stands were full of little devils full of spirit and spirits. Maybe there was a chance for a rally. Harry and I had a long talk while the Demon band showed up the instrument-tooters from Ruston, then we both talked to the team. Play in the third quarter was nip and tuck and the Demons were expected to rally. The hope disappeared, though. I suppose that day was the darkest one in Louisiana since the Republican carpet-baggers stole the state treasury.

OUACHITA WAS A COMEBACK My new cape end pitchfork (a little dull after the Tech game) were in fairly good shape, but I needed some new boots. I became a mints-for-Mint Juleps salesman end before long I was back in the blue, but, as you know, I feel much more at home in the red. I bought the boots for the big game at Arkadelphia.

Up to now the secret of victory hadn ' t been released, but I guess it ' s safe to tell now. Things looked bad at halftime, so I went under the stadium into the dressing room with the team. I didn ' t say a word. I didn ' t have to. All the players iust looked at the mud on my new boots and got mad and determined to get revenge. They were the prettiest boots I ever saw. Northwestern got the break of the year when Dave White kicked off in the third quarter and a Ouachita back fumbled. James Otto Lancaster was right there and recovered for us on the six-yard line. Don Purser carried over for the tally in three plays. I used some of my own mints that • Looking for an opening, Arthur Lancaster runs toward the sidelines in the Centenary contest.

Everything went off fine that day. I said Hello to so many of my old friends that I was still hoarse for the Southwestern game Thanksgiving day. Some of those old grads must ' ve been riding pals with the great General Robert E. Lee. For the second time, we were behind at halftime, but pulled out to win by a heavy score. Harry Turpin gets all the credit this time for the juvenated second half Demon eleven, because I was so busy, I didn ' t have time to tell him what to say to the boys. I guess maybe he can get by on his own now. Strong defensive play by the home team held the Gents scoreless in the second half, and speedy backs marched through made-to-order gaps in the vistiors ' line for three touchdowns. Dave White kicked an eight-yard field goal early in the fourth period, although he failed to convert on two of the three tallies. My boy Bobby Johnson set the Gents back on their heels on the first play of the game when he went 75 yards for a touch- down on a handoff from Austin Wilson. The Gents came right back and scored on a 25-yard pass play and Bob Barlow ' s boot split the uprights, and Centenary led 7-6 after five minutes of play. But that was all we let ' em do.

On slips by Lancaster at Mississippi Southern, only to meat Poole and Thompson SOUTHERN WAS STUBBORN Mississippi Southern really got mean when we made the trip to Hattiesburg. They defeated the Demons, 20-0, they put on a halftime ceremony that really made my face red. and they made a mistake and tackled my favorite photographer, who was minding his own business beside a mud puddle. That potent Southern ground attack was just too much for my fighting Demons. They crushed every attempt we made to do anything — even enjoy the game. I can say a couple of good things about Mississippi Southern; they ' re got a fine press box, stadium and cam- pus and they have a fine football team. We were treated royally everywhere we went. Although the team as a whole didn ' t show up so well, several of the kids did mighty fine. Bobby Johnson, BH 1 Quinn, Dusty Rhodes and Don Purser played upstanding ball on the offense. Bubba Sibley (one of the finest linemen I ' ve seen), Reggie Hebert, Phil White and John Thompson performed creditably on defense. I delayed the team ' s departing for a couple of hours because I got into a very heated argument with one of those guys from Southern about Whether I was a Southern Satan or a Yankee Satan. Butchee makes a shoestring tackle to stop a Southwesterner Art Lancaster looks for an opening SOUTHWESTERN WAS HEARTBREAKING Quinn picks up fine interference at Southwestern With the runner-up position of the LIC at stake the Demons went into the Southwestern game with vigor and determination, especially since the Bulldogs had ruined our homecoming the year before. Things looked good to, but one little field goal that barely made it over the cross bar spelled a 9-7 defeat for my team in the last game of the season. It was one of the closest games of the season, and al- though the Bulldogs were favored as far as statistics were concerned, they found that, with my cheering from the sidelines, the Demons are not the team to be pushed around. With their aggregation of fast, shifty backs, the Bulldogs really kept my boys on their toes. That Bertrum Dykes, voted the most valuable back in 1946, can really play football, so can Ted Andrus, a 205 pound guard that can hold up one side of a line by him- self. James Otto had been sporting a black eye ever since the Centenary game, so I told him to go out and get him- self a little revenge for his line backer position. And he did, too. All through the season Lancaster was one of the most outstanding defensive men we boasted. After the Southwestern game, I had only one consola- tion — -soon I ' d be rootin ' for my Demon cagers.

LEE PRATHER Northwtittm caga mantor and daan of Amtrican baikttball coachai Fighting their way through a rough 2 I -game schedule, the Northwestern Demon basketeers romped to one of their most successful seasons, a LIC co-championship, and a state NAIB cham- pionship. In the 21 games, the Demons won 16, rang up a total of I 197 points, as compared to 889 points for their opponents, and defeated every team they played at least once, with the exception of Loyola, whom they played only once. In post-season encounters, the Demons downed Tech and Centenary to make their average read: two wins over all state teams played, excluding Loyola. In the NAIB tourney at Shreveport, the Northwesterners played three consecutive games in three nights, defeated three teams straight by an average of more than 20 points, and won the acclaim of Louisiana sports writers. m Firit row: Ford.

That one point meant only half of the LIC honors instead of whole hog, although the Demons proved their superiority over the Techmen at Shreveport in the finals of the NAIB meet by trouncing them, 57-33. Early in the season, an unheralded NSC five journey to Oklahoma City to meet the OCU Chiefs. Behind the accurate shooting eye of Claude Jodie Stoutamire who dumped in 307 points during regular season play, and the fancy floor work of Bernard Waggoner and Bob Dor- cheus, the team from a little college way down South whipp ed the experienced Chiefs two straight games. Later the OCU quint came to our court and avenged their honor by four points, 40-36, in an overtime contest. THE FRESHMAN TEAM Davis, Bullock, McConathy, Morris, McConathy Jodie shoots one in Oklahoma game On the way back from Oklahoma, the Demons stopped by Barksdale field to hand the Flyers their worst defeat, 114-55. On that one trip alone, Northwestern State scored 202 points. After Christmas, the Demons took to the road again, this time to defeat Springhill College, 54- 41 , and to fall before Loyola, 45-40. After beat- ing East Texas State Baptist in the first game, the NSC five went on to win five straight before bow- ing to Loyola in New Orleans. It was Barksdale Field ' s turn again next, and the Demons overrode them, 74-49. Then came Louisiana College, the first conference game of the season. Waggoner, second highest scorer on the Demon squad with 287 points in regular play, excelled in routing the Wilcats with his sure Tutsi Waggoner shooH despite Oklahoma guard shots. He made 29 points, the most scored by any Northwestern player against a conference foe durinq the season. Wally Prather played a stellar game at guard, as did Big Jim Willis. Dorcheus completely fooled the Cats with his speed and tricky dribbling. The Demons, using I I men, won 77-40. The third home game of the season produced another conference win for the home club. Southwestern went down in defeat when three of the NSC first five got hot and scored 54 of the 63 points made by the Demons. Dorcheus made his highest single-game score by pouring in nine field goals and four charity tosses for 22 points. Stoutamire and Waggoner each scored 16. Frank Lampkin, one of the finest guards in the conference, made the other nine points. South- western scored 41 points. Playing on their court the Centenary College Gents thumped the Purple and Whites, 54-44, for the Demons ' second defeat of the season, at the hands of a non-conference team. Southeastern fell before the overall might of the Northwestern quintet next, 65-27, and then Centenary went down, 55-46, on the Demon hardwood. After a defeat by Oklahoma City University here, the Demons won their first game over Louisiana Tech, 48-41, playing a slow, sure brand of ball. During the game the Northwestern boys shot only 48 times, making 18 or about one- third, of shots attempted. The Demons won two of their next three away- from-home games, beating Louisiana College and East Texas Baptist, and slipping before a strong Delta State Teacher ' s five in Mississippi.

But at Tech they failed to hold a sizable half- time lead and dropped the most im- portant conference clash of the sea- son by one point. Southwestern gave the Demons a hard fight in the final regular season Dorcheus. Waggoner, and Stoutamir tatup a play against the Wildcati game, and forced the Northwestern hoopsters to go all out in the second half to win, 59-52. The fate of the Demons in the LIC hung on balance with the outcome of the Louisiana Tech- Southwestern game at Ruston. Although they had finished their schedule, the Demons knew not whether they would be champions or co-cham- pions of the Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference. Tech defeated Southwestern, who incidentally was backed by a NSC cheering squad, by a nar- row margin and Northwestern lost undisputed hold on the LIC title by one point. In the National NAIB tournament in Kansas City March 9. the Demons fell by the wayside, 67-43, in their first game. Xavier University of Cincinnati, Ohio, led the Demons by 20 points through most of the game, utilizing their speed and height.

The 1948 season will mark the twenty-second con- secutive year that the NSC cindermen have been coached by Harry Turpin. Coaches James Shultz and Walter Ledet will assist Head Coach Turpin with the 1948 track team. Several events in any meet the Demons enter will be in danger of being won by a Purple nad White. Claude Stoutamire stands more than an even chance in the high jump. He holds the LIC record in that event. Slim Howell should come through this year in the mile run. Trent Melder, conference champ in the two-mile, will probably hold his own again this season. All in all, Northwestern, with the team that has re- ported, should continue their domination of LIC track. ' Slim Howell, LIC mile champion 171 The NSC relay team: Glen GoUon, Bill Stovall.

Several intercollegiate meets have been staged and more are on the docket. As a team the Demons are a serious threat to small college sgu ads over the South, and as individuals they are dangerous threats to records set by predecessors. They boast men who specialize in one event and men who are good in several. Bill Stovall, one swimmer who will probably go down in NSC history as a great, excells in the 100-yard backstroke, for which he holds the SAAU record, and in freestyle distance swims. Harrison Young and Ben Hunter, a freshman who will go great guns in a couple of years, are much better than average breast strokers and usually race against each other on the last laps of that event. Jack Sibley is a fine freestyler, as is Carl Quaintance. Quaintance is a new- comer to NSC — and a welcome one. He ranks eighth best diver in the nation and plans to enter the Olympic tryouts this year. He has an amaz- ing record throughout his career for feats per- formed off the three meter board. One of the few men who have bested Quain- tance in a diving contest, Hardy Thomas, aids Coach Guy W. Nesom with the Northwestern swimmers. Thomas is a Northwestern graduate and is both friend and trainer to the NSC aqua- men. Ben Belk, Jeff Hennessey, Billy Scroggins, Le- roy Ford, Bill Branch, Glen Golson and George Bruser complete the list of swimmers that repre- sent Northwestern in the pool.
