Soon after my arrival at Lafayette, I was shown a copy of the Potpourri for 1912. I was intrigued by the title, and as my knowledge of the French language was extremely limited, I at once inquired as to the meaning of this new word. And when I learned that it meant a mixture or a medley, my reaction was that it was a most appropriate name for a college annual. And I am of the same opinion still. It records our victories and our defeats, our joys and our sorrows, our pain and our pleasure, our loves and at times perhaps also, our hates. And at its best it furnishes an accurate picture of the cultural, intellectual, religious, social, recreational, athletic, and other activi- ties of the student body with the proper emphasis on each phase of college life at Northwestern State College. Even a superficial comparison of the Potpourri of 1912 with that of 1952 will reveal the almost unbelievable progress along many lines which has been made during these years. For example, the expansion into a four year college with greatly broadened curricula, the enrichment of the social and recreational life of the students, increased participation bv students in the administration of the col- lege, and a vastly and improved physical plant. It is the fate of most products of science and the arts to become less valuable with the passing of the years. But not so with your Potpourri. You will treasure it more and more as time moves on. You will very likely attend the special assembly at which the book is presented and the dedication publicly announced, then rush madly to the designated spot to receive your copy. For several days much of your time will be spent in a close perusal of its pages. Soon thereafter it will become very largely a forgotten volume. But in time, when memories begin somewhat to fade, you will more and more frequently yet slowly turn its pages and as you do so, live again those days long passed which we live here together. And it is our sincere hope and earnest prayer that there may be no pangs of sorrow, shame, or regret as you lose yourself in these fond memories of the past. On behalf of the college, I wish to thank the editor, staff, and faculty adviser for untiring and successful efforts to produce an annual worthy in every respect of the fine traditions of the past, and es pecially for the efficient manner in which the business dealings involved in the publication of this year ' s book have been conducted.

Never have this college ' s students been asked to express themselves in so many elections. Also, there was the realization of a long sought Short-Range Student Loan fund — operated by the students in conjunction with the college administration. Unprecedented at NSC was the appearance of a name band each semester — the Potpourri Ball featured Johnny Long and his orchestra, and the Charlie Spivak orchestra was presented at the Spring Formal. The effectiveness of the Council in handling their various other duties is a tribute to them. They staged the entire set of activities at the State Fair, jointly planned the Cenla festivities, programmed broadcasts, recognized the campus Air Force personnel as ex-officio student body members, presented awards to outstanding students in virtually all fields, and took a leading role in the resurrection of the faltering Student Federation of Louisiana Col- leges and Universities. Their continuing activity and interest in a tremendous task is cer- tainly deservant of the respect of their fellow students for a job well done.

The Senate has sponsored short weekday dances to help finance the appearance of name bands on the campus and the purchase of music for the Demonaires. Also, they have en- deavored to continue the Student Film Service, bringing films to the campus which prove educational as well as entertaining. The attention of the Senate as a whole was placed upon the compiling of the new Student Handbook, to be released by the college as a quarterly, and issued to incoming students of the college. Organized during the 1946-47 school year, the Student Honor Court is composed of seven justices nominated by the Dormitory Councils, selected by the Honor Court, and approved by the Advisory Board. Created as the disciplinary body of student government, the Honor Court has the delegated power to act in the event of violations or infractions of the rules which govern the conduct of men stu- dents on the campus. With the purposes of building higher standards of citizenship on the campus among the men students and to equitably administer justice through a student sponsored tribunal of men, the court, in itself, serves as a definite step forward in the trend to a more responsible student government.

The object of the council is to promote, in co- operation with the Dean of Women, the intellectual, social and spiritual welfare of the Women students, to develop in the students a deep sense of self-re- sponsibility to instill a spirit of co-operation and friendship; and to uphold high social and academic standards among Women students of the college. Highlights of A.W.S. sponsored activities are the annual Christmas at Home, the Backward Dance, and the spring Convocation. At this time awards are made to the outstanding women students by Pan-Hellenic, Purple Jackets, and the A.W.S. DORMITORY REPRESENTATIVES First row: Edwards, Gabbert, Eason, Porter.

SHI I ION ROBINSON • l l( I I ' HI I PS i tn nsi VI( K Revitalization was the keyword for the ' 51- ' 52 CUR- RENT SAUCE. From a rather abbreviated journal of four pages at the beginning of the year, the student news- paper took on new life and surged ahead under the di- rection of Editor Spataro, who emphasized a thorough coverage of campus events through well-written stories and meaningful pictures. After Spataro and his staff started the typewriters clacking in October, there came into existence a smooth- running organization, an esprit d ' corps, a well written, well-edited and readable newspaper. Occasionally, interest among staffers dwindled and the journal lost for a time some of its thoroughness, some of its accuracy, and some of its make-up polish. In general, however, the SAUCE throughout the year reflected a tone of sincerity, responsibility and stability. Although not much interest was manifested by the students in their paper (very few letters to the editor or even oral com- ments were evident, the SAUCE copies disappeared with usual rapidity when placed in the Field House on Tues- day afternoon. A trip to Shreveport and the Journal building, a SAUCE-sponsored dance, a banquet for staff members, the organization of a local journalism fraternity, were highlights in the CURRENT SAUCE ' s history for the year. It couldn ' t be that funny Now, take this column — i.l RVAIS ALDREDGE NED MAHFOUZ GUY CHEEK MARY LOUISE MURPHY ETHEI.YN CLOUTIER EVELYN PYLE CHARLES ERTELL DOROTHY THOMPSON JACKIE FUNDERBURK LOUISE VICK Beginning with a trip to Nashville, Tennessee, last July, the work on the 1952 Potpourri was underway. Even this early in the year it was seen that compiling an entire yearbook — photographs, manuscript copy, and art work — was no easy job. With the open- ing of the fall semester, energy and interest in the yearbook abounded among many of the student body members, and a much inspired and ambitious staff began work. Class pictures were made, and proofs were shown, but when the prints were returned to the Potpourri office and the actual work was to start, the inter- est on the part of the staff had seemed to have vanished. The npists, all set to compile the listings of the classes were waiting for the class editors to assemble the section, but there were no class editors, and the staff was shuffled. Mary Louise Murphy, eager as she was, fell heir to the major work on the section, and to her goes the credit for a complete section. Being the photog- rapher ' s girl made Jackie Funderburk, in the eyes of the editor, just another person who could be called on for assistance, and prov- ing the capability of a freshman, she very successfully compiled an Organizations section, which was far behind schedule, but through no fault of its new editor. With the passing of the annual Potpourri Bail, and the selection of Miss Potpourri, passed the staff, and with the advent of the eagerly awaited mid-semester vacation, the longing for a few days at home vanished from the minds of the editor, associate editor, and the snapshot editor — whose pictures were piled many times high, and from whose mind captions were sadly lacking. But with a nice hot cup of coffee. and a piece of fried chicken — how a mind can function. Finally, after many late hours, sleepless nights, days away from classes to journey to the Shreveport Engraving Company, the 1952 Pot- pourri was completed, and an exhausted staff sat back, excitedly awaiting proofs of pictures and manuscript copy, and finally — the 1952 Potpourri.

The host of freshman talent in the band, with the already present supply, gives the band a future even brighter than the present. Many current hits were on the programs of each dance, and often, to the delight of the student body, the boys sounded out with Latin-American favorites, and the always present Dixieland — New Orelans style. As we danced to the mellow notes of the Sophisticated Swing, and as our hearts sank as the band sang out the familiar closing theme I ' ll See You in My Dreams, we realized that this group, clad in gold ties and maroon coats, was the finest edition of the Demonaires known, and certainly thev can compare with many name bands.

MR. WILLIAM SMI in Dili i tor f orensic Under the coaching of Mr. William Smith, the 1951- 52 Debating Squad did quite a bit of traveling, placing high in many Debate Tournaments. An excellent rating was obtained at the meet in Ada, Okla., by the debate team, and here also David Kendrick placed first in poetry. At Jackson, Miss., Jim Vorhoff won first in oratory, and the debate team went to the semi-finals at Baylor in Waco. The main event of the year was the Louisiana Speech Tournament held here on the campus, in which thirty colleges from eight states participated.

Stephen Foster ' s Oh, Susanna The latest from NSC speech Once again as we look at our Potpourri and glance over the various pages of the organizations, our eyes focus on one of the most outstanding groups on our campus. Would our school or our Potpourri be complete without some mention of the Northwestern Speech Department? Can we fail to be aware of its outstanding accomplishments? The department of Speech is divided into three sub-depart- ments here at Northwestern, each outstanding in its own specialties. The hilarious play we all enjoyed this summer, Parlor Story, was presented by the dramatic students under the able direction of Mr. Don Carr, professor of speech. The cast was headed by Mr. Carr, and Julia McBroom, both splendid personalities on and off the stage; Chick Gabbert and Jim Vorhoff certainly amused us with their naturalistic love making, and all the other members of the cast and the members of the production staff, each with self determina- tion to present a play long to be remembered, succeeded, for you and I never shall forget Parlor Story, or Oh, Susan- na, the spring production of 195 1. Northwestern endeavors to present entertaining plays and these productions certainly kept up this standard of perfection. High School debaters descend The affirmative speaks A word from the opposition Mr. William Smith, the forensics coach, this year again has developed debate talent of which Northwestern is cer- tainly proud. Mr. Smith welcomed numerous freshmen onto the debate squad this season. Chick Gabbert, Barbar a Robinette, Pat Hankins, and Anne Torrans, all newcomers to Northwestern, have earned a place on the squad by claim- ing various honors at tournaments throughout the south. The old hands at arguing, Jim Vorhoff, David Kendrick, Betty Sue Boydstun, and Milly Middleton kept up the morale of the entire squad with their excellent records. The debate teams attended tournaments in Oklahoma where Jim Vorhoff won first place in oratory and David Kendrick placed first in poetry reading. Mississippi was another state visited twice this year, and at Bayior University Milly Middleton won honors in extemporaneous speaking. The Baylor tournament was one of the most successful of the season. Claiming the interest of the students at North- western and throughout the neighboring states was the an- nual tournament held here. It proved to be more successful than even the most optimistic had hoped. To the debate squad for the 1951-52 season, we offer co ngratulations on their wonderful achievements. Pi Kappa Delta fraternity greeted all the new additions to the squad with bids this year to the national forensics fra- ternity. All in all the debate sponsors, participants and the school have rejoiced over a very complimentary year. Any report or discussion of the departments of speech would be only half told if the Speech Clinic activities were omitted. Under the direction of Miss Irma Stockwell, the student clinicians have learned to teach less fortunate chil- dren to speak. It is a joy to watch the little children ' s faces light up because of an improvement in their speech; it is thrilling to see the admiration and thankfulness of the par- ents, and it gives a feeling of : elf-satisfaction that comes from seeing a job well done. Any student clinician is proud at the end of the semester to know that he has accomplished something worthwhile. The individuals who teach these un- fortunate children realize that they have enabled another person to live a more worthwhile and happier life. The clinic aids boys and girls of pre-school age and college students. Better speech is each clinician ' s and each stu- dent ' s motto, and because of the unceasing efforts of Miss Stockwell and the student Clinicians, all entering the clinic develop better speech.

Not content with last year ' s trip to New Orleans, the Singers this year journeyed to Ridder. Here at the college they have sung for many of the Chamber of Commerce banquets, and many of the school programs. An appearance which re- ceived the acclaim of the entire student body was as part of the annual Purple Jacket Review, at Annual presentation of Handel ' s Messiah by the College Singers and Chorus the Windy City of Chicago, appearing at the Na- tional Elks Club Convention. Then on a state tour, the Singers appeared at the State Elks Convention in Morgan City, and made numerous appearances in New Iberia, Lake Charles, Crowley, and De- which time they gave a beautiful rendition of Louisiana, an original composition by Donald Glattly, director of the College Singers, which carries any native Louisianian into the misty- marshes and swamps of Southern Louisiana. Preparing for Chicago As this group grows, both in quality and size, it remains one of the most outstanding features of Northwestern State College. Both the College Singers and the College Chorus, along with their capable director, should be highly commended on the time which they give, so tirelessly and unselfish- ly, for the enjoyment of music lovers, and as musi- cal ambassadors for Northwestern State College.

The Demonettes were official ly made a part of the R.O.T.C. As such, the Demonettes performed along with the R.O.T.C. in parades, at ball games, and at special pro- grams. The girls continued to uphold the tradition of fine programs and drills, made possible by the cooperation of the whole group, instruction by the R.O.T.C. staff, and help from Mr. Dwight G. Davis, and band. Led by Patsy Winkler as President, and Elva Sue Tucker as Field Captain, the Demonettes did much to add color to school activities. Northwestern can well be proud of its Demon- ettes.

ANTIAIRCRAFT ARTILLERY College men become the leaders in civilian life, and like- wise, the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps is the most im- portant producer of officers for the Organized Reserves. The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps gives them the necessary training during their college career to be leaders in any future struggle for existence in which the country may be involved. Recognizing the benefits of military training ard the principle that it is every man ' s duty to prepare himself to serve efficiently in case his country should ever need him, the authorities of Northwestern State College have given Military Science and Tactics the same credit as any other subject in the college curriculum.

MANNING Judge presenting the potpourri beauties nina-Jrachta S ludio P. O. Box 51 Frlansficld. JLouiiiana The Totpourrl beauties were selected on a basis of beauty , poise and personality , In that order of Importance. In a contest of this particular type, one of the ffcrst things to be considered Is the fact that there are numerous kinds of beauty . It Is necessary therefore to determine just what degree of beauty Is possessed by each contestant In each particular type. Quite often you have a large number of eoually beautiful girls in the final elimination. In such a situation poise and personality assume greater Importance as deciding factors. The entire competition is a progressive afi air with the contestants adding to their score, and when the ilnal Interview and Inspection is held it is relatively easy to select the top beauties. Selecting the young ladles for this beauty section was one of the most difficult Jobs I have ever had. There was a large number of very beautiful contestants and their poise and personality was far above average. From the very beginning of the contest it was apparent that my decisions would be difficult to make and this feeling was intensified as time passes. I think the winners should feel honored considering the very hiph class of competition. In another light the Miss Northwestern contest was one of the easiest Jobs I nave ever haa. Every request tnat I made in order to view the contestants in a fair and Impartial manner was granted Immediately. This exceptional cooperation and Interest on the part of the student editors and their staffs of the Potpourri and the Current Sauce was deeply appreciated . Albert R. Manning The 1952 Potpourri beauties were chosen from trait artist of Mansfield, judged the contestants in a group of fifty girls nominated by various organ- two campus contests, ranking the top six in the izations of the campus.

Amid the glitter and glow of Christmas lights and snow, and in the now echoing strains of Shanty Town, rang the laughter and gaiety of the dancers at the Eighth Annual Potpourri Ball. Proclaimed the grandest of all, the Ball gave the feeling of a grand ball room, and in this atmosphere the identity of the most honored personage of the Christmas season at Northwestern State College was made public. Selected by the staff of the year- book, to bear its name for the year 1952, was Miss Arlene Norsworthy. Chosen for her active participa- tion in all college activities, she was a perfect em- bodiment of the Potpourri, a summarization of college life.

I i s ' - . ..football And so another football season came to North- western State College. Early in September the thud of kicked footballs and the grunting of body con- tact could be heard resounding throughout the Demon stadium. And in the midst of all these go- ing ' s on could be found three men who carried the destinies of N.S.C. football for the coming season, the coaches. Prospects at the end of last season appeared good for the Demons. The preceding issue of the Demons had won 6 games and lost 4, and only 10 of those men were to be lost by graduation. But along came a threat to world security and 19 N.S.C. footballers answered the call to duty, abandoning their football gear for the various uniforms of the military service of the United States.

Taking the few lettermen and squadmen left and adding to them a large number of freshmen the coaches were able to field a team. The team was not the best ever to repre- sent N.S.C., but what they lacked in ex- perience they made up for with more hustle and fight than seen on any Demon football team in many years.

From the preceding Demon squad which had won 15 games and lost 1 1, Johnny McConathv, Linwood Outz and Hershel Mc- Conathy had graduated. Buddy Bonnette, dependable set shot artist and Bob Pender, a hustling forward, had also departed.

Coach Thomas worked with a predominately fresh- men team and his starting lineup for the season found Ranew at one forward, and Murrell Walker, a hot shot freshman from Dry Prong at the other forward. At the Center post replacing Johnny Mc- Conathy was Jim Thomas, a 6-4 all-stater from Martin. Yergler was placed at one guard position and the other found two men alternating, Tynes Hildebrand, a lettermen from last year, and Bill Collinsworth, an all stater from Bryceland. This combination received ample help from lettermen George Davis and Sammy Booras, and freshmen Waple Lilley, Bolton Collins and Laverne Free. The Demon basketeers opened the season with a one sided victory over Alexandria Air Base. They followed this with victories over Sam Houston Teachers and Lamar Tech of Beaumont and a re- turn engagement with Alexandria Air Base. After this the Demons journeyed away from home to play McNeese State, Lamar Tech and Sam Houston, and were defeated by close scores in all three games.

After this game, the Demons again took the road for their final two games before returning to take their final exams.

In his first game against the Demons arch-rivals from Centenary, Shaw scored 17 points to take scor- ing honors in the game, but they were not enough to enable the Demons to win, the Gents winning the game, 60-57, in the last minutes of play. The Demons were defeated in a road game by Missis- sippi Southern, but defeated Spring Hill to avenge an earlier season defeat bv the Mobilians. Centenary plays like this all the lime.

The Demons did manage to defeat their greatest arch-rivals, the Bulldogs of La. Tech, taking the cue from the three previous teams and winning in the last minutes on a steal by George Davis and a pass to Lilley, who scored the winning two points. This was followed by the Demons last two conference games before the G.S.C. tournament which was to be held on the Demons Court. The Demons defeated Southwestern and Tech and thus qualified for a berth in the Louisiana N.A.I. B. tournament which was to also be neld at Northwestern. In the G.S.C. tournament the Demons were ranked fifth in the eight team field. But by playing top notch basketball, the Demons ad- vanced to the finals with comparatively easy victories over La. Tech and McNeese State. The Demons opponents were the conference champions and tournament favorites from Mississippi Southern who defeated La. College and Centenary to advance to the finals. In the (ILL COLLINSWORTH Guard Ml RRELL WALKER Forward GEORGE DAVIS Guard RONALD BYRD Forward ends for the demons finals the Demons were defeated in an overtime session 77- ' 4, as thrill- ing a game as has ever been played on the Demon Court. Two days later the N.A.I.B. tournament began with Northwestern defeating Southeastern and Centenary defeating La. Tech. On the following night, Centenary continued its mastery of winning in the last minutes by defeating the Demons in an overtime session by the score of 54-53. And so the Demons closed another season with a record of 1 3 wins and 11 losses in regular season games and an overall record 17 wins and 14 losses. Artie Ranew was the leading scorer of the season with 385, and Ken Shaw has the highest per game average averaging 17.9 points per game. On the season, the Demons scored 1963 to their op- ponents 1808. Prospects for next season appear very bright with only Artie Ranew graduating. Jim Thomas is expected to return to school next year, and along with the remainder of the squad and new high school talent, the Demons should have a team that will be a contender for con- ference laurels. Old granddad shoots one other sports ack baseball gymnastics aquatics golf tennis track Beginning his first season as head coach, Wal- ter Ledet possessed a team that was strong in the track events, but weak in the field events. No lettermen could be counted among the discus, shot-putters, and javelin men, but among the track men there were such lettermen as Bill Hart, Doak Walker, Tommy Broussard, Buck Ander- son, George Davis, Tynes Hildebrand, Junior Turner, and Johnny Haynes. Wayne Durr was in the hurdles, and Johnny Buck, pole vaulter, was also counted on to bring in a share of the points. These lettermen were bolstered by such prize prospects as Jack Bice, Curtis Gros, Red Smith, and Ben Franklin in the dashes and relays, Murrell Walker in the 440-880 yard runs, Grant Willis in the hurdles, and Jamie Modisette on the pole vault and hurdles. No conference cham- pionship can be looked for by the Demon cinder- men, but it is believed that by the time of the G.S.C. track meet, the Demons would give a topnotch performance, placing high in team points, with a determined will to win.

After many workouts and practice matches, Coach Brittain decided on three freshmen to make up the remainder of his team: Bill Stan- berry, Richard Grant, and Paul Ryder. This freshman dominated team is not expected to garner the conference championship, but we predict that, with a little experience, these Demon linksmen will be hard to defeat.
