GIBSON FROM T H E T H E OFFICE OF PRESIDENT This Volume will bring to mind some of the events in our college life which occurred in the stirring year, 1948-49. It has been a year hardly less stirring and interesting to fac- ulty members and to me than to students. Somebody has suggested that in reality there are at least three colleges: the one ex- perienced by the students, the one experienced by faculty members and the one ex- perienced by the administration. Even if this be an oversimplified truth, I suggest that one of our goals should be the bringing together of these viewpoints so that students may see the college from the viewpoint of the more mature members of the community and faculty and administration may see it from the students ' viewpoint. This year there has seemed to be a more thorough integration of all members of Northwestern State College into the college community. The year has been one of co- operative growth and development, very joyful at times and very exasperating at others. At our best we have experienced what a democratic society may accomplish when most members are working together for the good of all; at worst, but very infrequently, we have seen how a misguided few can disrupt and temporarily thwart the well-intended pro- gram and will of the majority. In fine, we have seen the strengths and weaknesses of a democracy exemplified in our own college community. These evidences of progress and these growing pains are but the beginning of our all-out effort to bring Northwestern State College of Louisiana up to a realization of its opportunities as a great institution of higher education. In continuing this enterprise, may I count on every one of you, student, faculty member, staff member or alumnus? This College has a valid claim on you for your sincerest effort and highest devotion.

WIIH JAMES OTTO LANCASTER Student Body Pr  id nt At times neglecting the problems domestic for problems of state, which they felt more important to student interests and more urgently in need of their trail-blazing attention, the 1948 ' 49 Student Council took a major part in the formation of a Federation of Louisiana Colleges and Universities. After journeying up North to investigate the advantages and benefits of affiliation with the National Student Association, the Council delegates reported to the student body that they felt a comparable regional set-up would better serve the purpose. They then took the leading role in creating such an organization. The usual awards were presented to deserving students; the elections were executed and the vari- ous other executive functions performed in a manner befitting the ability and integrity of those students who made up the Council. The Council took a step forward in commissioning the Student Senate as the Sandl! . Craig, Lancaster, Edwards, Keyes, Robertson, Alexander student legislative body, and worked with the Senate in drawing up a much improved constitution. They succeeded in maintaining harmony among the varied campus activity groups and organizations and averted any student strikes or violent controversies. Efforts were also put forth to stop vandalism to state property during the football season. Though not always successful, the Student Council did much for which they are to be commended.

' r - 4n Justices: Standing, Lancaster, Grems, McConathy, Robertson; Seated, Graves, Yellott, Ponder During its third year of existence the Student Honor Court continued to diligently pursue the building of higher standards of citizenship among men students at Northwestern State. The Court has succeeded in establishing itself as a fair, impartial body working to equitably administer justice. 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 mens ' dormitory councils. Selected on the basis of their character, scholarship, leadership and interest in student welfare, the students serving as justices and in the other required capacities take their respon- sibility and obligation seriously and perform their duties consciously. The year saw two capable men direct the Court ' s activities. In the fall Julius Yellott served the office of Chief Justice and upon his graduation, the court selected Leonard Grems to take the helm Hearings were given many students during the year, each having benefit of a defense council. The Court follows consistently a policy of justice tem- pered with mercy attempting to help the guilty rather than mete out punishment. Projects of the Court include the presentation of Freshman awards to a number of men students who, in the opinion of the Court, best exemplify the ideals of citizenship in their campus life during the proceed- ing year. As the year comes to an end plans are going ahead to make the Student Honor Court an even more integral part of progressive student government. These plans include having the Court selected by a larger group of students and assigning it the function of a true judicial branch of a stronger and more practi- cal student government. This would mean enlarging the scope of the Court ' s activities from merely a disciplinary tribunal to that of a judicial council hav- ing final authority in constitutional and regulatory law on th e campus. 29 JOE CHOATE Editor BOB MURPHY Buiin i Manager T H E CURRENT With the accent on features and a collegiate ap- proach to the presentation of the news, the CURRENT SAUCE, with a new banner and a new Editor, em- barked on another year of trial-and-error attempts to please everybody.

Morale gala On top of the usual rush of dead-lines and head- lines, Editor Choate and underlings found time to interview Hoagy Carmichac), give an all-college dance and get evaluated almost as many times as they put her to bed. The year saw frequent changes in staff line-up, from top to bottom. Most of the time, however, Joe Berry. Bandy, and Sinqletarv. Editori de lacto Choate ruled the staff get-togethers; Fred Bandy was first mate; McConnell and Murphy sold an ad or two; Henry Berry, Dennis McMullan, Archie Singletary, Leon Lindsay,, Jim Falkner, Jan-An L Blanc and others performed various functions ranging from sports to Work? socials. Everybody took a hand at, for the most part, inconsequential editorials, and the Letters-to-the-Editor served as a column for publicizing ambitious campus wheels. A list of students too long and fluctuating to list here also had a part in the ' 48- ' 49 edition of the ven- erable Sauce. All in all, the unpredictable rag has added another stormy year to its quaint history in true-to-form razzle-dazzle fashion. Have you exerted yourself?

Under the able leadership of Ralph Ropp, the twenty upper-classmen renamed the body, The Student Senate, and promptly set about to take the leadership in a move to reorganize student gov- ernment. Their goal? ... to make student govern- ment more representative and conducive to student interests. Commissioned by the Student Council to write a new constitution, the Senators worked diligently to formulate a plan of government which would best serve the interests and meet the needs of the student body. A draft was completed in time for spring election, and it was modeled after that of the Federal government with Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches vested with clearly defined jurisdiction and responsibility. For the Student Senate, 1948- ' 49 was a productive year. They won the respect and admiration of the student body for a task well done, a year well served. RALPH ROPP, President GEORGE BLACK, Vice-President 35 I. s. c. DEBATE R. L. ROPP V t r n Coach R. L. Ropp. forenslcs coach, termed this year ' s debate squad one of the best in the history of Northwestern State. Statistics bear out that statement. Participating in 6 tournaments, the debaters copped over 60% of more than 200 events entered. Meets entered were those at Ada, Oklahoma, L.S.U., Conway, Arkansas. Nacogdoches, Texas, the Louisiana Forenslcs, on this campus, and the Southern Tourney at Baylor, which had not been held at the time of this writing. lan-An LeBUnc and Julia McBroom took first in Junior Women ' s debate at Ada, and Ethma Ewing and Marjorie White were second in Inexperienced Women ' s. George Alexander was second in the after i : contest. At L.S.U. LeBlanc and McBroom were again first in their di- vision. Leon Lindsay and Ted Roberts tied for second in the Senior Men ' s bracket. Ewing and White won second place at the Mid-South in Con- way in Junior Women ' s, and George Black and Jack Harrington reached the semi-finals in the Senior Men ' s division. At Stephen F.

PURPLE JACKETS MISS CATHERINE WINTERS Faculty Sponsor With service as its motto and its unfailing tradi- tion, the Purple Jacket Club holds the distinction of being 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 when- ever 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. 38 MARIE CLOUTIER MAMIE MELTON Margaret Ackel Patricia Felsher Fairy Scherz Margie Barnett Mamie Mel ' cn OFFICERS . .

Under the direction of Dwight Davis, the band served as an invaluable part of athletic programs and pro- DWIGHT G. DAVIS Director vided the needed boost to school spirit with its on- field maneuvers and peppy music. Off the campus, this qualified group represented the college in the annual State Fair festivities and participated in the first Northwestern State Day in Alexandria. The Band ' s performance in parades and 40 M wa half-time ceremonies at these events were compli- mentary to the College and the Music Department. In the spring the band presented musical programs to several North Louisiana audiences in a regional tour of the State. With a complement of nearly one-hundred musicians at his disposal, Director Davis led the band in many campus performances. They supplied music for assemblies and radio broadcasts and presented concerts, which, with activities of the other music organizations on the campus, provided a well- rounded music program for Northwestern State. CHOIR The college choir, under the able direction of Donald G. Glattly, continued to be considered one of the best trained and noted musical groups in Louisi- ana. With more than a hundred voices it was another of the largest and most active choral groups in the school ' s history, developed since Don Glattly 42 - MLjffl assumed charge of choral activities at Northwestern State. The enthusiasm of the many students who were members of Chorus and College Singers this year is tribute to the popularity and ability of Mr. Glattly. Presentation of Handel ' s difficult and beautiful ora- torio The Messiah was again one of the high-lights of the Christmas Season. Their very creditable per- formance of the great classic met with the acclaim of students, townspeople and out-of-town visitors and is now well established as an annual program. An- other annual feature of the choir ' s activities is the popular Spring Concert of A Cappeile selections. Nucleus of the chorus is a smaller group of more experienced choristers who form the College Singers. This compact and select body serves as the travel- ing squad of musical good will for the college. Out- of-town programs and local broadcasts have made them well known to this section of the state. The College Singers conducted a spring tour of a number of state schools and performed for many civic meet- ings in Natchitoches. DONALD GLATTLY Director 43 L T H E SYMPHONY VAL HILL Conductor berg and Gould with the finesse of a more experienced and seasoned group. The year began with the presentation of Handel ' s Messiah accompanying the Chorus commendably for the third year. Presenting numerous concerts and pro- grams before the student body, citizens of Natchitoches and Winnfield, and broad- casting for the first time were other notable achievements of the year. Consisting of forty members, the Orches- Barely two years old, the Northwestern State Symphony Orchestra enjoyed anoth- er successful season of progress and ac- claim under the capable direction of Val Hill. Mr. Hill came as the year began to assume the duties left vacant when Profes- sor John Shenaut left to direct the Shreve- port Symphony. The year 1948- ' 49 saw the Orchestra come of age as it presented the music of Tschaikowsky, Rossini, Rom- tra is made up mainly of students but draws heavily upon members of the Natchi- toches Symphony, of which Mr. Hill is also director. The success of the Orchestra ' s third season is due largely to the worthy talent and efforts of Director Val Hill. Mr. Hill is an accomplished violinist and violist, a graduate of the American Con- servatory and Nebraska University, and, together with his talented wife, gave many programs for local and radio audiences during the year. He plans extensive tours for the N.S.C. Symphony during the coming year. THE imiimiiiEs Student director Paul Gaines molded old-timers and newcomers Into a smoothly working musical unit. As usual, the Demonalres were on hand f or the all-college dances, and furnished jive for • functions as well.

No other profes- sion offers richer variety of occupations or greater personal satisfactions. A student has an opportunity to work toward two professions: a temporary one — wage earning, and a permanent one — homemaking. There is a place for practically every type of student: the artist, the scientist, the homebody, the business person, the student who yearns to teach, and the girl who wants to make this a better, happier world. The Euthenics Club was organized on this campus in 1926 to promote professional sph ' A and coopera- tion, to foster socialibility among students doing Home Economics work, and to develop culture. Eu- thenics implies better living. [ y t h 1 1 CLUB i; s OFFICERS CHARLINE SHAW President MAMIE MELTON . . Vice President ALIDA BISHOP . . .

The Tech- men edged the home team, 10-7, with a field goal off the toe of Joe Michael, one Techster who has gotten in our hair more than once. The game was a tight one, but it proved two things: That David Coyle was a talented runner and that Johnny Em- mons could throw a pass like rumors said he could. Coyle scored our touchdown with a flashy, dodg- ing run off tackle and, of course, Stinky Davis kicked the extra point.

The Indians were outclassed in every department. They marked up a minus 2 yards gained from scrimmage, even though their coach had just written a book on the famous T formation. Bobby Johnson was the star of the day, throwing two touchdown passes to Q. T. Ford and personally carry- ing over two himself. Northwestern, 7; Southwestern, 28 With the third position in the first conference foot- ball race at stake, the Demons met the Southwestern Bulldogs in the annual N club homecoming and were downed, 28-7. A quick kick by the Southwest- erners that covered 90 yards proved to be the turning point in the game. The Bulldogs carried on from there for three quick TD ' s. It was the last college game for Ford, Thompson, Jackson, Cromwell, Rhodes, Lancaster, Jim White, Mayo, Quinn and Landreaux, all graduating seniors. Hebert clears the way for Halfback Johnson.

Northwestern State is noted lor consistently strong basketball teams, and this year they came through with another confer- ence championship- -the first in the newly formed Gulf States Conference. This season marked the 36th consecutive year that H. Lee Prather has coached Northwestern State basketball teams. Outside of winning the conference title, the Demons got the state bid to attend the National NAIB tournament in Kansas City, where they advanced to the quarter finals before being eliminated. Two Northwestern State players, Claude Stoutamire and Ber- nard Waggoner, were honored at the close of the season with positions on the all-conference team. Stoutamire was leading conference scorer and a unanimous choice for a first string forward position on the all-conference. 212 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS Stoutamire tangles with two Regis men at NAIB tourney.

The Demons played 28 games during the season and rang up 1728 points, an average of 61 points per game, while their opponents totaled 1327, for a 47 plus average. The Purple and White clad cagers won 23 and lost five for the season. Their confer- ence win-loss record reads 14-2. We started the season off fine, downing the Barks- dale Field Sky Raiders, 99-35, with the Flyers taking the spotlight by freezing the ball the last three minutes to keep us from scoring a round 100 points. After Barksdale came Springhill, Central State and then Barksdale again, all in good order. Then we met Loyola of New Orleans in the Crescent City. The Wolverines beat us 57-43 for our first defeat of the year. That loss put us on the bottom of the confer- ence standings. Ranew shooti one in the Austin rout Claud Iodic Stoutamire.

The next five games were all easy ones with the exception of Southeastern, the dark horse of the conference. By the hardest we downed the Lions by two points. The next game was played in the Louisiana Tech cracker box, and our boys lost a hard 45-40 contest.

HARRY TURPIN Head Track Coach T R A C K After being beaten out of a Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference title by a javelin throw last season, the Northwestern State Demons plan to enter the first Gulf States Conference track race with such vigor that the team should be able to offer its foes stiff opposition. The Demons have the material this year that combined with the expert coaching of Harry Turpin will make a mixture hard to beat. The 1949 season will mark the twenty-third con- secutive year that the NSC cindennen have been coached by Harry Turpin. Coach Walter Ledet will assist Head Coach Turpin with this season ' s track chores. 120 yard low hurdles Patten loading s E A s o N Assistant Coach Ledet starts runners in practice The Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference has been disbanded and the GSC has been formed. With the GSC came Mississippi Southern, Southwestern, Southeastern, and Louisiana Tech, all strong con- tenders for the conquest of the first Gulf States Con- ference track Crown. With a few breaks coupled with hard work, the Demons should be up there with the strongest bidders. Team Cap ' ain Trent Melder with cindermen 221 Divert: Fryer. Hennesty. Gaston, and Quaintance AQUATICS Swimming at Northwestern State came into its own just last year, and since that time Coaches Guy W. Nesom and John Piscopo have made the Demon aquamen a team that can hold its own against the stiHest opposition— even against schools like Tulane, Texas A M, Baylor and Southern Methodist Uni- versity. Through the efforts of Coach Nesom, swimming became a letter sport here last year, when the NSC tankmen established an enviable record. The Demons won six of ten swimming meets and placed second in a triangular meet with Texas A M and Memphis Naval Air Station, winners of the na- tional amateur crown last year; third in i triangular meet with Pensacola Naval Air Station and the Uni- versity of Miami; and third in the Southeastern AAU meet at Atlanta, Georgia.

About half of the squad re- porting for training are Freshmen or Sophomores. Coach Brown can look forward to several outstand- ing teams after the one this year. Several returning lettermen will give this season ' s team a definite boost in the direction of a conference championship. Big Al Nicosia, catcher and first baseman, Harold Haile, first sacker, Marion Benson, hustling centerfielder, will add to the team ' s chances for a championship. Such newcomers as Jimmy Cox, southpaw fireballer, Robert Pender, third base- man, and Ronald Martin, hurler, will be out mostly for experience this year, but should be hot next year.

As we go to press, the tennis team is running their schedule and practice sessions without the help of a coach. Ed Durham, a member of the music faculty, coached the team in 1948 but resigned the position this year. Only two returning lettermen are on this year ' s team.
