JOHN RABB, Editor FRANK HUDSON, Associate Editor MARY RABB, Business Manager PAUL MARX, Advisor Jt r E J V ) V 4 r — vH N T Y-F I V E YEARS y. Oh, Alma Mater, here today; We for thy lasting blessings pray. We know not where our paths may go— The State Board of Education appointed as the first Board of Administrators the following residents of Natchitoches — Judge David Pierson, Major E. E. Buckner, Hon. Leopold Caspari, Mr. T. P. Chaplin, and Mr. H. B. Walmsley. This Board organized with Judge David Pierson as president; and, on December 29, 1884, elected Dr. Edward E. Sheib, of Baltimore, president of the faculty. The original act limited the course of study to two years, and the annual session to six months ; but these restrictions were later removed. The first session of the Louisiana State Normal School opened on November 1, 1885. The faculty consisted of Dr. Sheib, Prof. Earl Grace, and Miss Nettie Rousseau ; and there were twenty-seven students — some thirty-three additional students enrolled after the session began. President Sheib had taken his Ph.D. at Leipzig, Germany ; he was a pioneer in the newer theories of education. It was he who laid the foundations of the school and steered it successfully through its difficult first years. Being artistic in temperament, he appreciated the natural beauty of Normal Hill, and did everything he could to enhance it. In 1887 Normal held its first graduation, awarding diplomas to Misses Emma Oswalt, Sallie May Phillips, and Mary Washington. In May of the following year, Dr. Sheib resigned to accept a position at the University of South Carolina. Beginning in the summer of 1884 and continuing for many summers thereafter, the Normal conducted teachers ' institutes for the benefit of teachers who could not attend the regular sessions. These institutes were very beneficial to the in-service teachers, and were responsible in large measure for developing widespread interest in education throughout the state. For a little more than a month Professor Alby L. Smith was the Acting President of the Normal. Professor Smith served as training teacher and conductor of the institutes for sor e f aculty fsVfndered to ho wa( then p  f 9!br of English state Uffjy fsity.

RECORDED B Y THE vJL VJU JU ry y ( l rir VJU Charles A. Bullard and his wife Julia Ann Bludworth Bullard. This Bullard Mansion, built in the 1830 ' s, was destined to become the nucleus about which a great educational institution developed. In 1856, at a cost of $42,000, the Mansion and 107 acres of land comprising the Bludworth Hill area, were purchased by the Society of the Sacred Heart for setting up a school. The nuns erected a Convent Building in 1857, architecturally similar to the Mansion. For several years the Convent of the Sacred Heart flourished, attaining an enrollment of some 300 boarders, with a number of day-students in addition ; but financial difficulties resulting from the Civil War could not be overcome, so the Convent closed in 1875. During the next ten years, the buildings remained unoccupied except for a brief period in 1878 when they served as quarters for United States troops who came to quell a post-war disturbance in the Natchitoches area. In 1884, Judge William Seay, of Shreveport, introduced in the Louisiana Legislature a bill to establish a State Normal School. The bill was enacted into law on July 7 with the active support of Capt. Leopold Caspari and E. A. Casidy, representatives from Natchitoches and Robeline, respectively; of Senator J. Fisher Smith, from Many; and of Gen. Milton J. Cunningham, then Attorney General of Louisiana. The law instructed the State Board of Education to determine upon the location for the school. Several cities strove to be chosen as the site ; but Natchitoches won the contest when Captain Caspari, on his own initiative without any prior consultation, promised the State Board that if Natchitoches were chosen, the people of the City and Parish would acquire and donate to the State for a site the buildings and grounds of the former Convent of the Sacred Heart. The Board decided upon Natchitoches, taking into consideration the healthfulness, convenience of access, and the liberality of the inhabitants in furnishing the buildings. The townspeople justified Captain Caspari ' s faith in them by quickly raising $6,OO0, with which they purchased the old Convent buildings and grounds ; the whole was immediately deeded to the State. When President Boyd came to the campus, there were 1 46 students enrolled, 64 of whom were being trairfed for teachers ; by the time he left, the enrollment had increased to 362. Col. Boyd encouraged the policy of bringing into Louisiana men and women who would set high standards for young teachers. At no time ' did President Boyd have sufficient funds to develop the Normal as he felt it should be ; but, finally, the year before he left, he was given an appropriation to construct a new building, a building which later bore his name. Though Boyd Hall was only a temporary wooden structure, long since But thou ' lt uphold us still we know. Unchanging thou, mid changes vast, unswerved from ideals of the past — torn down, it was the first of the many buildings to be erected as the services and instructional program of the School developed and expanded. The Seekers After Knowledge Literary Society was organized in 1890, and was followed in 1893 by the Eclectic Literary Society. The Alumni Association was formed in 1894 with Miss Bessie V. Russell as its first president. At the beginning of the session of 1 894-95, the existing set-up of elementary school classes was replaced by a model ungraded school, which was designed to be a model for the ungraded country schools of the state ; and its province on the campus was to give the Normal students practice in organizing and teaching such schools. At its session of 1 895, the State Legislature passed a law which systematized the institutes by requiring that at least twenty weeks of institutes would be held each year, under the Supervision of the State Superintendent of Education and the President of the State Normal School. During the session of 1895-96, the State Institute Conductor held fourteen institutes of one week ; and, during the summer, institutes of four weeks each at Shreveport, Alexandria, Grand Cane, Winnsboro, and St. Francisville. Professor Smith died in 1 896 ; and the following year the Alumni Association established the Alby L. Smith Loan Fund to assist needy students. Beverly C. Caldwell assumed the presidency of the Normal in 1896, and retained the position for twelve years. During his administration the expansion of the campus got well underway with the construction of East Hall, 1898 ; a model school building, 1900 (later moved and rebuilt as Bullard Hall) ; West Hall, 1902 ; a two-room home for the President, 1904; and the administration and classroom building which now bears his name, 1906 ; and Infirmary, 1914. In addition to his pedagogical work at the College, Mr. Caldwell worked actively with the promotion of civic projects in Natchitoches ; and his knowledge of modern methods of farming proved of great value to the rural inhabitants of the parish and of the area. His memory was phenomenal ; it is said that he knew personally every one of the hundreds of students who had ever been at Normal. Dr. James Benjamin Aswell was named president in September, 1908, and remained until he was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives in 191 1. Prior to coming to Normal, he had served successively as Louisiana State Institute Conductor, President of Louisiana Polytechnic Institute, and State Superintendent of Education. Aswell was a crusader for a new educational system, which would provide opportunities for the enlightenment and culture of every child within Ixniisiana. i«£ ' h; s  ? -; «y rvfe -.

Dressed in accord with the current vogue are Jo Ann Joffrion, Miss Potpourri; Mary Ferguson, Miss NSC; and Virginia Atkinson, 2nd place beauty. During Aswell ' s regime the first Laundry and B (Carondolet) Dormitory were built, both in 19 10; Bienville Dining Hall was begun, 191 1, but was not completed at the time of his departure. On July 1, 191 1, Victor Leander Roy began his eighteen-year term as president — the longest term ever served by any president during the history of the College. During these years the physical appearance of the hill was noticeable transformed. About two hundred and fifty acres of land were added to the college property ; the property was hereby extended to the Jefferson Highway on the west, and the thickly-timbered area w « aHHed on thp smith A number of bu ildings were con- structed Music Chopi Plant, Hall, gymn Econo new hool (Guardia H ill), 191 2; the first e first Dairy, 191 ; A (Kate inajkr eatej;gen ?nt of the Power C ■ Agnes Morris) Dormitory, 1922; Sheib : Women ' s mn isium I origin; lly a men ' s ), 1923 ; Warren i aston Hall, 1923 ; first Home RnHn n | r 26 ; D (AucKiboW) Dormitory, 1927; and present President ' s Home, 1928. Other physical improve- ments included the construction of a concrete swimming pool and a cold-storage plant ; and the installation of a sanitary sewage disposal system. In 1912, there were 671 students enrolled ; and there were 45 faculty members, of whom none had doctor ' s degrees, four had master ' s degrees, and twenty-six had no degrees at all. By 1929, the enrollment had climbed to 1,083 ; and the faculty numbered 87, including six with doctorates, thirty-five with the master ' s, and only five without degrees. In 19 18, the School was empowered to grant college degrees ; and in 1921 the name of the institution was changed to Louisiana State Normal College. In 1928 graduation from high school was made a prerequisite for admission to the College. Prior to 191 1 there was only one course of study ; by 1929 there were ten curricula. The College was admitted to membership in the American Association of Teachers Colleges (now the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education) in 1925 ; and in 1926 it became a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Publication of the Normal Quarterly (now Northwestern State College Quarterly ) began in 19 13. The following year, the Contemporary Life Club began to issue a little newspaper called Current Sauce ; this publication later developed into the official student newspaper. The Division of Extension was established in 1917, and continued to function until 1942. The already-existing Y.M.C.A., Mortar-Board, and three literary societies — S.A.K., E.L.S., and M.C.C. — were supplemented by the Y.W.C.A., Newman Club, Latin Club, Science Club, Dramatics Club, and Euthenics Club. Two social fraternities and four national sororities were installed. In 1926, the Student Body Association was formed. The purpose of the organization is to make effective the sphere of student government and activities, and to promote a spirit of unity and cooperation ; it has at times proven a powerful force in the formation and expression of student opinion. In 1929 William White Tison became the sixth president of the College; he was the first of several presidents to be selected from tfie faculty, having for twetv y enr s  bcciw i 8a JUpf. -ri|e Chemistry Department. Inasmuch ws his presidential term coincided with the great depression, Mr. Tison was abletc secure funds for only one building, a men ' s gyt aiWfi ( Natchitoches High School Gymnasium) 1929-30 ' ; bof. of tree were planted, and the natural beauty of the ca: was enhanced in many ways. Though little could be done to enlarge the faculty, the academic standards were maintained ; by 1934, seventy-seven percent of the faculty had graduate degrees. Several of the curricula were revised ; and a few new curricula were added, notably that in the field of business. In 1931 for the first time, the College was listed by the American Association of Teachers Colleges as having no deficiencies. Steadfast and true, our watchword ' ere shall be — To thee, Our Alma Mater. LOYALTY. ■ P n a. Albert Asa Fredericks, who had served on the faculty as Head of the Agriculture Department for fourteen years, was named to the presidency on August i, 1934. His administration was marked by a tremendous growth of the physical plant of the College. In addition to obtaining large appropriations from the State, Mr. Fredericks took full advantage of the assistance available from the various Federal agencies which were established to counteract the effects of the depression — PWA, CWA, ERA, WPA, and NYA. The major construction included W. H. Trisler Power Plant, 1936; addition to Warren Easton Hall, 1936; Scharlie E. Russell Library, 1936; Stadium, 1939 ; four frame dormitories for boys, and one for girls, 1 938-39; Addition to Infirmary, 1939; modern Dairy Barn, J 939; Varnado Hall, 1939; Caspari Hall, 1939; present Men ' s Gymnasium, 1939, Natatorium, 1939; Fine Arts Building, J 939; Student Center 1939; Addition to Power Plant, 1940, and present Water-Tank, with its N, 1940. Also, in 1939, the Natchitoches High School and the Natchitoches J rade School were both built on the campus. Most significant among the curricular changes vere the introduction of liberal arts programMffra vodnional programs. The College shifted in 9 trom the quarter to the semester basis in the operation of the instructional program ; this same year many of the small academic departments which embraced single subjects only were grouped together into larger departments — notably, Social Studies, Vocational Education, and Sciences. During the 1939 fall semester there were 1,716 students enrolled. In 1935 the two-year curricula for elementary school teachers were extended to three-year curricula; and, in turn, these were extended to four-year curricula in 1940. By 1941, ninety percent of the faculty had graduate degrees. Less than a year after Joe Farrar assumed the presidency, on April 1, 1941, bombs fell at Pearl Harbor; and the building program at the College halted abruptly. During the tragic years of World War II, the regular enrollment dropped as the students, women as well as men, resigned to enter the armed services and to take war-related jobs. The major contribution of the College to the war effort was made by providing housing facilities and supplying instructors for a unit of the Civilian War Training Service, and for two naval avaiation training schools — a Navy Flight Preparatory School and a Navy Academic Refresher Unit, V-5. Approximately 4,000 sailors, marines, and coast-guardsmen received training on the campus. Extension and correspondence courses were discontinued in 1942. By 1944, the various instructional programs had become so diversified that the College was reorganized academically into three Schools — Applied Arts and Sciences, Arts and Sciences, and Education — each with its own dean. This same year the name of the college was changed again, to Northwestern State College of Louisiana, in recognition of the expanding functions of the institution. In 1945 the college became a member of the Association of American Colleges. During the last six months of his administration, Dr. Farrar was ill, and Augustus Carlyle Maddox, Head of the Department of Mathematics, served as temporary Acting President. Dr. Joseph Gibson was president from July 1, 1947, until September 1, 1949. New capital-outlay appropriations were made by the State, and additional, badly-needed buildings were constructed: Industrial Education-Aviation Building (later destroyed by fire,) 1947 ; present Home Economics Building, 1949; Business Administration Building, 1949; and Religious Center (now Billiard Hall), 1949. From July 1, 1949, until September 1, 1950, Dr. William Garnie McGinty held the office of Acting President. During his term the new Dairy Barn, 1950, was constructed and the Chemistry-Physics Building, 1950-52, was begun. In September, 1949, an important development in the instructional program of the College was the creation of the Department of Nursing. And on April 3, 1950, a Senior Reserve Officers ' X m 5 ?■  •■ +-• % ,rK - ■ ™ I ' ifl S4 •  6- Training Corps Anti-Aircraft Artillery Unit was approved for activation on the campus ; classes began in September. Coach H. Lee Prather assumed the presidency after having been a member of the faculty for thirty-seven years, having served as coach, athletic director, dean of men, and professor of government. During his term the following were erected : Armory, 195 1 ; School of Nursing Building, in Shreveport, 1953 ; and new Industrial Education Building, 1954. The major academic development which took place during Mr. Prather ' s administration was the rapid growth of the collegiate nursing program. In 1953 the Department of Nursing became the School of Nursing, with its own dean; the School now had divisional campuses in Shreveport, established in 1949; Alexandria, 1950; and Baton Rouge, 1 95 1. Students combine nursing and academic courses in a program that leads to the R. N. certificate and the B. S. degree. There have been 497 graduates since the program began ; and 374 students were enrolled in the School during the 1958 fall semester. Upon President Prather ' s retirement, Dr. John S. Kyser became President, May 15, 1954; he had been a member of the faculty since 1923, and had been Head of the Social Sciences Department for twenty-one years. During the first five years of his incumbency, the physical plant of the College experienced another period of major development. Construction projects include: Prudhomme Hall, 1956; Addition to Russell Library, 1957 ; Biological Sciences Building, 1958 ; Addition to Caspari Hall, 1958; Natchitoches Hall, 1958; and St. Denis Cafeteria, 1958. Dormitory rooms were built into the stadium in 1957 ; and South Hall and West Hall were extensively renovated during 1958. Sibley Drive was extended north- westward to College Avenue, opening another area of the campus, and paved parking lots were provided, in 1956. Ex- tensive landscaping and beautification projects were carried out. A momentous event in the history of the College was the establishment of the Graduate School, with its own dean, in 1954. In 1955 authorization was granted for offering extension courses to graduate students ; and such courses have been conducted in Shreveport, Alexandria, Jonesboro, Minden, Mansfield, DeRidder, Monroe, Lake Charles, and Winnfield. Limited to degrees in Education during the first years of its existence, the School began, in 1958, to offer programs leading to the Master of Science and Master of Arts degrees. There was a graduate enrollment of 499 students during the 1958 summer term. 1° I 955, the Special Education Center began its widespread activities. Two very important parts of the college are the Williamson Museum, in recently enlarged and renovated quarters in Guardia Hall ; and the North I ouisiana Archives Room, in the Russell Library. At the present time the faculty includes forty-five persons possessing the Doctor ' s degree. During the 1958 fall semester there were 2,659 students enrolled in the College. The College is a member in good standing of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the Association of American Colleges, and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. All programs for teachers are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. The Nursing curricula are accredited by the Louisiana State Board of Nurse Examiners and the National Nursing Accrediting Service. Thus, our campus has seen seventy-five historic years. And still the three stately columns stand — symbols of that glorious past the College has known — but guideposts also, ever pointing the way toward even greater achievements and triumphs for our beloved Alma Mater in the years that lie ahead.

Above all, it is the projection of an idea. Our College, now celebrating its Dia- mond Jubilee Year, was founded with the blessings of America ' s greatest ideal — education for all. Fortunate indeed are those students who come to ex- perience a tradition of dedication to goals that are for the great good of every citizen. Northwestern State in this, its seventy-fifth year, is indulging in a bit of review and reminiscence of its struggles and accomplishments. It is fitting that it should search its treasury of values for both young and old. In this day of large numbers of students, of varied schools and curricula, and of fine physical plant, it is right that the sons and daughters of Northwestern should pause to pay unstinted tribute to those who only yesterday worked with but little thought of self in order that there would be better days for us. We pause in silent homage to them, and pledge ourselves anew to pay greater allegiance to their values. The Potpourri of yesteryear faithfully mirrored a picture of the li fe of our College, just as it does today. These book 4 rmS. % I JfJ m r ( - t portraits over the years show the glory of youth, its tireless capacity to combine the lighthearted with the serious. They reveal strength and character. Northwestern State College continues to provide an environment where young people achieve perspective and attain balance, the earmarks of wisdom. Our College seeks ever to stimulate contributions that may spring from the entire range of human abilities. Its rich experience of three-quarters of a century provides a firm base on which to improve the temple of intellect that is mellowed with the impulses of humor, goodwill and friendship. Let us live some of this good life through the stirring pages of the 1959 Potpourr i.

There have been many deserving personalities to pass through the gates of Northwestern in the past 75 years. However, there is one person here today that exemplifies the true Demon Sprit. This 1959 Edition of the Potpourri is dedicated to that person. Upon her graduation from Normal in 1918 she received the Faculty Award as the outstanding senior of her class. Latter she became head of the Women ' s Physical Education Department. She has served our college dilligently. She has exhibited the highest degree of understanding, the willingness to assist in any situation, and the eagerness to extend a helping hand. She has graciously assumed the responsibilities of her new role as the First Lady of Northwestern. This Diamond Jubilee edition of the Potpourri is dedicated to the most brilliant diamond that shines among us today, Mrs. Thelma Zelenka Kyser. The gardener?

OR Activties Editor RACHEL ROBERTS Feature Editor The 1959 Potpourri is presented to you, the Student Body, by the Potpourri staff. We have strived to portray you, the NSC student, as you study and play, work and dream. The Potpourri is the yearbook of the student body of NSC, entirely financed by them. Thus, each one of you should be interested in learning or at least investigating the process of yearbook production. Shreveport Engraving Company prepares our photographic copy, and Benson Printing Company of Nashville, Tennessee does the art work, layouts, and publishing. Three students — the editor, associate editor, and business manager — receive working scholarships. The total annual expense of publishing the Potpourri varies from $ 15,000 to $20,000. The section editors who volunteered much time and en- ergy to the presentation of this book are: Ann Monkhouse, Ann Dordan, Joan Hines, Jo Ann Joffrion, Barbara Nay- lor and Rachel Roberts. They and their co-workers deserve the appreciation of the entire student body for their help in preparing this book. The Potpourri sponsors several awards throughout the year: the beauty court reigned over by the Lady of the Bracelet ; the Potpourri Court; dedication of the book to a person who has displayed loyalty and interest beyond the call of duty to NSC; and outstanding staff awards to members of the Potpourri Staff. Since 1959 is the 75th year of our college, the Potpourri Staff has endeavored to make this volume an outstanding one. With this in mind, we present our small tribute to you, our school, on your 75th birthday — the Northwestern State College Potpourri of 1959. Ladies In Waiting Presenting The Facts JOHNNY EDGAR Sports LINDA CARAWAY Society RAY SAWYER Cartoonist EARL C. COULON Faculty Advisor Boasting one of the largest staffs in recent years, the 1958 -59 Current Sauce set for itself the task of covering Northwestern during its Diamond Jubilee anniversary. An energetic staff worked to present a vivid picture of campus life at Northwestern. Through various polls, the Current Sauce sought to feel the pulse of student opinion, to find out what the stu- dents were thinking, and why. Past staffs may have worried about a shortage of news, but this year ' s problem was trying to get all the news on eight pages of newsprint that seemed to shrink week by week. Reporters were ordered to give their leads variety, and originality was the keynote of every Sauce effort. Pictures showed more action. Regular staff meetings were held to instruct cub reporters, make assignments and discuss ways to improve the paper. In this manner the staff worked together as a close unit every week and, whenever time permitted, played together and were som etimes even accused of being a little bit clan- nish. The personal touch was present, with the addition of three columns, one on student government, one on events around campus and one covering Demon sports. Between meeting deadlines and stuffing papers in the print shop, the staff found a home for a puppy and tenta- tively planned a special anniversary edition for the spring semester.

The Purple Jackets The Purple Jacket Club, founded in 1927 by President V. L. Roy, was the first honor club to be established at Northwestern. The Purple Jackets have become a tradition as they have served the college as official hostesses when- ever they are called upon, clad in colors of purple and white depicting loyalty. The membership of the club is limited to twenty-one ac- tive members. Each spring at the Purple Jacket calling, women students are chosen as new members who have dem- onstrated good scholarship, good character and a spirit of cooperation and unselfishness in serving the college. The year is also highlighted for the Purple Jackets by the Purple Jacket Review and the Spring Trip for a week- end of fun. All the privileges and responsibilities of being a Purple Jacket combine to make the experience something wonderful to remember.

Playing the leading roles were Julian Combs, Phillip Bacilla, Jerry Sanders and Howard Lane. The other major production of the year was the mystery, Ladies In Waiting. The leading roles were played by Alice Roberts, Frances Kees and Jolene Johnson. Throughout the year the group worked diligently and shared many fun-filled moments which made the 1958-59 year a success.

This versatile group offers a variety of choral music planned to fit the interest of any audience, providing an increased understanding and ap- preciation of music. Its activities have consisted of a Christmas concert, Spring concert and Spring tour as well as a number of community and state-wide per- formances. The various concert series presented on the campus bring music to the student body and the community and certainly make a valuable contribution to the cultural life of NSC.

CARLUCCI Director The Natchitoches — Northwestern Little Symphony Or- chestra is truly a community organization in that its mem- bers include elementary, high school, and college students; as well as college faculty and townspeople. The group pre- sents four concerts during the academic year — two public concerts and two Young People ' s Concerts for the school children of Natchitoches and nearby towns — and also pro- vides music for the spring semester commencement exer- cises. 95 The Band KEN HENDRICKSON Drum Major The N.S.C. Band under the direction of Dwight G. Davis has served as an invaluable part at athletic events, concerts, music festivals, and parades by providing appropriate music for these many functions. Concerning athletic events, the NSC Band was on hand to help boost and support the Demon Football Team at all Home Games and at three out-of-town games. The Band always performed before and during the football game in the stands and was constantly on-tap for a new and fresh half-time show at each game. This year the Band in- tegrated precision drill with formations to present a well rounded pro- gram that would suit the fancy of all band enthusiasts in the area. During the Spring semester the Band presented a Spring Concert in the Fine Arts Auditorium, made a tour of various High Schools through- out the state, and marched in a gala Mardi Gras Parade. Toward the end of the Spring semester Professor Davis started rehearsing the Band to prep are a number of pop concerts that were held in the Field House and Fine Arts Court. These Concerts were made up of light numbers that appeal to all types of musical tastes. The range of music played in concert by the band transcends from heavy symphonies, written for bands, to marches and light compositions of all types. Parade wise, other than the Mardi Gras parade, the band was a main attraction in the State Fair Parade that took place in Shreveport, Lou- Majorettes isiana, the day of the 1958 Northwestern -Tech Football Game. During the Christmas season, the NSC Band led the Christ- mas Festival Parade in Natchitoches and ended up at the Demon Stadium where they helped to spur the Demon Foot- ball Team on to victory in the first Christmas Festival Bowl Game. We were also represented in the Vernon Parish Forest Festival Parade, at Leesville. The purpose of the NSC Band is to represent Northwestern State College at various functions throughout the state, and to give musically interested students a chance to express them- selves through music and be a part of a respected organization. It also gives the music majors a chance to observe and learn the techniques of directing and supervising music organizations.

The Demonaires In their fourteenth year as the official college dance band, this group continued to serve the students of Northwestern as a hard working, dependable music organization. Perform- ing at short dances, pep rallies, and school sponsored balls, the Demonaires earned the praise of the student body. The Demonaires is one of the few, and best, school spon- sored groups in the state. Not only is this group popular at Northwestern, but its ' enthusiasm and musical repertoire is known throughout the State. This is proven by the fact that Civic Organizations in town from Vivian to Baton Robert Eddy, Paul femison, Courtney Aldrich, Leroy Dykes, Al Lanyon, David Hardin, David Jackson, Kendrick Smith, Harold Flurry. Not Pictured: Don Reive, Billy Guin, Elmo Gentry, Buddy Carroll, Kamal Kathey. 98 BILLY GUIN Director Rouge have repeatedly contacted the Demonaires for their holiday dances. The band had four jobs offered them for New Year ' s Eve. All this speaks well for a group of non-professional mu- sicians (only about half of which are music majors) who play mostly for kicks. In keeping with the times, the Demonaires book contains a mixture of rock n ' roll, latin, jazz, and ballards. As a farewell shot to summarize the 1958-59 dance season: Man, like ... it was too much!! Swing with the Demonaires 99 The Demonettes The 1958-59 Demonettes have experienced a very happy and successful year. All the performances have been based on complete group participation rather than that of the individual or individuals who may have been featured. The originali ty within the group has been outstand- ingly obvious in that it never repeated a routine dur- ing the entire football season. The spirit and enthusiasm of these Demonettes will not soon be forgotten. WANDA CAPELAN Drum Malar First Row: Vivian Lee Ames, Edith Bacot, Judith Beggs. Second Row: Ranita Blake, Emma L.

In the year Nineteen Hundred and One, five col- lege girls, at the historic Longwood College located in picturesque Farmville, Virginia, formed a sorority which they named Alpha Sigma Alpha. At first ASA limited its chapters to teachers colleges and was a fra- ternity leader in this sphere for many years. However, in 1947 it became affiliated with the National Pan- Hellenic Council and is closing a successful decade in its enlarged fraternity field. Psi Psi Chapter was in- stalled at Northwestern in 1930. Alpha Sigma Alpha ' s colors are crimson red and pearl white. The jewels are the pearl and the ruby while the flowers are the aster and the narcissus. The aim of ASA is to establish a sisterhood that shall have for its fourfold object the physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual development of its members.

I ' m so glad it ' all over, and I ' ve got my pin! 110 Delta Zeta As we celebrate the 75 th Anniversary of North- western State College, we find it pleasant to recall experiences which make up some of the memories of past years. One of the most significant events to the girls who wear the Lanp today was the founding of Delta Zeta on October 24, 1902, in Oxford, Ohio. Little did the six founders dream that their organiza- tion would become one of the largest national sorori- ties with 125 college chapters, 167 alumnae chapters, and 62 Mother ' s clubs. In Louisiana there are five Delta Zeta chapters. Each Spring members from Southwestern, Sophie Newcomb, Louisiana State University, McNeese, and Northwestern meet for a weekend workshop. The local chapter, Epsilon Beta Chapter of Delta Zeta, was installed on this campus on November 14, 1927. Before its initiation into Delta Zeta, the chap- ter was Phi Chapter of Delta Sigma Epsilon, which was the first Greek organization to come on the cam- pus in 1927. The progress of this sorority may be attributed to its worthy ideals. The object is to unite its members in the bonds of sincere and lasting friendship, to stimu- late one another in the pursuit of knowledge, to pro- mote the moral and social culture of its members, and to develop plans for guidance and unity in action. In addition to their many extracurricular activities the Delta Zetas, who wear the pink and green, take pride in their philanthropy projects at Gallaudet Col- lege for the Deaf at Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital at Carville, La. As we reminisce we can easily understand why the sisterhood of Delta Zeta is symbolized by its flower, the rose. ' Flowers for me?

Before Al- pha Delta, our chapter here at NSC, became a mem- ber of the national organization, it was a social club established by girls at Louisiana State Normal. These girls realized a need for a greater purpose than a mere social outlook and, therefore, established social and educational standards. In March, 1928, they became a chapter of Pi Kappa Sigma. Pi Kappa Sigma can be identified by its flowers, the Forget-me-not and Jonquil, and its colors, tur- quoise blue; symbolic of truth, and gold; symbolic of worth. Now entering into its thirty first year on NSC ' s campus, Pi Kappa still, with great pride, holds high the traditions and aims of Pi Kappa Sigma — Friend- ship, loyalty, service, scholarship, moral and spiritual development. It was over 50 years ago that our foun- ders lighted a torch for us. We challenge ourselves to keep that torch lighted and hold it high. We are proud to bear the name of Pi Kappa Sigma.

Sigma Sigma Sigma, more often called Tri Sigma, has a long, proud history filled with girls from all parts of the United States loving, sharing, and giving abilities and talents. Ever since its beginning on April 20, 1898, in Farmville, Virginia, Tri Sigmas have been dedicated to academic progress, to the formation of enduring friendships, to high ideals of personal conduct, and service to others. Sigma Sigma Sigma is a member of the National PanHellenic Conference and embraces forty-eight states, the District of Co- lumbia, and Hawaii, with chapters on scores of col- leges and University campuses, with nearly two thou- sand members. Our open motto, Faithful Unto Death, signifies our everlasting bond of friendship. Our colors, royal purple and white go well with the delicate purple vio- let and the pure white pearl which are our flower and jewel respectively. Alpa Zeta chapter came onto Northwestern ' s cam- pus in 1928 and since then has acquired a little white house, hundreds of members and pledges, alumnae, friends, and our dear sponsor, Miss Eve Mouton. As the history of Sigma Sigma Sigma unfolds, Alpha Zeta chapter takes its place with a warm, friendly, lovable group of girls. We are truly a band of sisters . . . Faihful Unto Death . . .

Previous to that date it was Phi Kappa Nu, a fraternity of local standing only. Since becoming national, Beta Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi has made tremendous strides as an or- ganization. In 1957 and 1958 it ranked 8th and 10th, respectively, in the nation, receiving Master Chap- ter certificates both years. The members and pledges have lived in their first fraternity house during this year. It has proved to be very successful and a great asset in pledge training, living and organizing together, social functions, and scholarship. Through the medium of the yearly activities of so- rority parties, participation in parades, the Christmas Festival, Christmas at Home for the needy families, the Rose Ball, the Spring Bar-B-Q, the summer water- melon parties, and the everyday associations, Pi Kappa Phi remains to be The Friendly Fraternity.

Sigma Tau Gamma, formerly Sigma Delta Tau, has shown outstanding leadership, spirit, and intense pride. Nu Chapter has always been noted for its choice of quality men and takes pleasure in presenting our brother who has helped to keep Sigma Tau Gamma what it is today . . . President Olin Moore has been the leading man with all of the officers backing him to their greatest capacity. The men are to be con- gratulated on their tremendous amount of enthusi- asm for a better year in ' 59 and also years to come. One of our most outstanding men who is behind each and every Tau is Dr. Rodrick Outland, our sponsor. The highlight of the year is the Tau ' s annual White Rose Ball. This event has a place in every Tau ' s heart because at this time the Rose of the fraternity is presented along with the Pledge of the Year. Each year the fraternity of Sigma Tau Gamma strives to maintain in some small way, the proud tradi- tion which has been initiated by their predecessors. A ki s of thanks For each member.

Tau Kappa Epslon, the nation ' s second largest fra- ternity, according to number of chapters, was founded January 10, 1899, at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois. The original name, the Knights of Classic Lore was changed to its present title in 1902. Internationally prominent, Tau Kappa Epsilon is made up of 149 chapters and 14 affiliate chapters, embracing 36,077 members. Symbolic of the many virtues and objectives of Teke is Apollo, the mythical Greek god of music and culture, of light and health, and of the training of youth entering manhood. The Red Carnation, official fraternity flower, lends its cherry color to gray to adorn our coat of arms, flag, banner, and other sym- bols. The fraternity jewel is the lustrous white pearl, symbolic of increasing value and maturity. The North American Eagle, known for its swiftness, is the official bird of the fraternity. Although all Teke rituals con- tain much symbolism, the chief symbol of the frater- nity is the equilateral triangle. Epsilon Upsilon Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon began on this campus in May, 1957, developing from a local fraternity, Lambda Zeta. The fraternity motto is simple, yet complete, Tau Kappa Epsilon — The Fraternity For Life. 124 FIRST Row, left to right: Herby Roach, Ralph Sparks, Ted Burns, Lee Thiel, James Roy Matthews, Elmer Hermes, Monroe Webb.

Each one answered to the student body and the judges. Their an- swer added to their qualifications for the top honor. After the assembly, the judges carefully considered each girl again. Later that evening, the top beauties were presented to the student body in order of rank at the A.W.S. mas- querade dance. How They Were Chosen . . . October 26th was the date of the first judging for the 1958-59 Northwestern beauties. Representatives from the student body and faculty were judges. Twenty girls were chosen to participate in the final judging on October 31st. This was at an all-college assembly where the girls were presented in long evening dresses and elbow length gloves.

A regular feature of local parades, the Black Knights are quite well known throughout the state for their precision marching ability. One of the unusual features of the Black Knights is that almost all movements are unique, having been originated by the Drill Team Commander, Cadet Captain Jerry Roy, as- sisted by Cadet Lieutenant Weldon M. Middleton and the senior members of the team. Each year in the fall there is a reorganizing job to be done. The nucleus is formed around the returning members from the team of the previous year. From these men squad leaders are picked and they assist in training the new men. Squad leaders at present are: Cadets SFC Bill Carter, Sgt. Don Scoggins, M Sgt. Robert Risor, and M Sgt. Billy Cone. In the past the drill team has been in great demand to appear in parades and civic functions in the Central Louisiana area. The first major parade of the year is usually the opening parade of the Louisiana State Fair in Shreve- port. In 1958 the Black Knights had the honor of being the lead unit in ; his parade. Next came the Christmas Festival Parade in Natchitoches, 7 Decem- ber 1958. Shortly after the beginning of the Spring Semester, 6 February, 1959, the team journeyed to New Orleans to appear, by invitation, in the Mardi (iras Parade. In 1958 the Black Knights were flown to Washington, DC. to par- ticipate in the National Drill Team Competition and the Cherry Blossom Fes- tival Parade, 28 and 29 March. The Black Knights took sixteenth place in the competition against major universities and colleges of the North and Hast. They also placed sixth in the Cherry Blossom Parade. The last major ap- pearance of the 1 957-1 958 school year was in the Miss America Parade in Ar- cadia, Louisiana. The Black Knights have also regularly appeared in NSC Homecoming Parades and at numerous football games. At each home game a color guard is furnished by the Drill Team. The Black Knights are also active in Natchitoches Civic projects having assisted this ear in collection of moiu-i for the March of Dimes. Fred C. Bosarge, Kermit Bowman, Dave C.

Football For the second consecutive year the Northwestern State College Demons finished in a tie for the Gulf States Conference Football Championship. Again Head Coach and Athletic Director |ack Clayton was the man behind the N. S. C. title winning performances. Last season, the Demons tied with Louisiana Tech and McNeese Slate College for the (iSC crown, but this year the race was between the Demons ol NIorthwcscrn and the Bulldogs ot l.a. Tech. Also on hand for the N. S. C. eleven and aiding in the coaching duties were Walter l.edet. Akin Cracker Brown, Ernest Slim Howell, and llucv Cranford.

The Northwestern gridiron squad posted an impressive 7-2-0 record for the fall of 1958 and launched the Christmas Festival Bowl Game as an added post-season attraction that i- coupled with the Christmas celebration in Natchitoches. As the season began it became evident that Coach Jack Clayton had a strong contender for the GSC title. The opening game ot the year took place in Shreveport in earl) September as the X. S. C. Demons met the Southeastern Oklahoma team at the State Fair S.adium. Clay- ton used three complete teams in shellacking the Sooners 56-0. Little Ralph Conrad, a transfer from Wake forest, was the big gun in the Demon attack as he romped lor two first half touchdowns. Charlie Tank Tolar carried the ball but five times; however still managed to collect 44 yards. Bob Martin was the leading ground- gainer for the Purple and White as he picked up 7 yards in 10 at- tempts. Don Deen, halfback, capped a 60-yard drive In racing over for another Demon TD and I mini tt I ' ddv rounded out tin scoring on the ground. Dale Hoffpauir, N. S. C, quarterback, teamed with end Bill] Jack Booth for a 61-yard scoring pass, which was the longest gain ol the night. Tackle Ronnie Kincer collected two points foi the Demons and 181 Don ' t kick him. was Tolar as he churned over from the one-yard --tripe just before the final sun sounded. McNeese used the airways in posting tlu-ir offensive threat just enough to keep the not too-experienced Demons off-balance. The fol- lowing week things weren ' t much better as the Demons faced Louisiana College from Pineville. The Wildcats didn ' t behave much like Baptists as they ripped and roared through the Demon defenses for a 13-12 win. It was the home opener for the Northwestern crew. The La. College eleven gained first blood as they scored early in the first period on a fumbled punt by Tolar. Just six plays later the Demons had the score tied at 6-6 as both squads missed the attempted point-afters. That was the wa things ended at the half. As the third quarter opened the Demons drove downfield to the Wildcat six-yard marker, but the defensive line tightened as Hoffpauir and Tolar were thrown for losses back to the 26, where the ball went over on downs. The visiting eleven came up the field in just eight plays and assumed a 13-6 lead as they elected to kick for the one point. With less than two minutes remaining in the game, the Northwestern 32 . . . Skidoo ! ! ! In nailed an Oklahoma ball carrier in the end one for a safety. Things were looking bright tor the Northwestern Demons but the first conference game oi tin- season put the skids to the undefeated hope. Clayton took bis boys to Lake Charles lor a scheduled meeting with the McNeese Cowboys, which had been listed as the third game oi the season lor N. S. C. I he second game, which was to be against Lamar I 1 1 li 111 Beaumont, was rained out. Down South the Demons could do nothing right and found ill ' 11 selves on the short end ol 25-X decision. I he defensive attack ol the Cowboys was centered at all-GSC fullback Charlie Tank Tolar as he- was held to onlj 2 sards in eight tries. Scoring foi the Demons --quad covered 62 yards in tour plays on three passes and draw play l the Tank . The score came on a Hoffpauir to Jerrj Johnston aerial, but the tr for two points W8S inches short ol the goal. N. S. C. tried an on-side kick but La. College stuck to ground play and handed the Demons their second loss in three games Things had to change, and thej did. ll was a do or die situaliem when the Demons journeyed to Shreveporl for (he State Fair contest against arch rival Louisiana Tech. The- Bulldogs from Ruston had posted a 3-1 record prior to the meeting and a 2 a conference slate and seemed destined to romp to the (lull States Conference champion- ship. The Techsters were heavj favorites to win the crucial game, 182 Hey, coach, what do I do now? With the Demons trailing 14-12 with two minutes of playing time remaining, things were beginning to look dim. It was Xorthwestern ' s ball however, and there was still hope. Quarterback Hoffpauir handed off to Charlie Tolar who weaved and twisted his way to the five- yard line where he fumbled the ball on the next play. Only a minute and one-half remained in the game. A pass thrown by the Bulldogs was intercepted by Northwestern and the complexion of the game changed once more in N. S. C. ' s favor. Dead-eye Dale Hoffpauir passed to Tolar from the Tech 45- .nd line and the Tank barrelled over Canine defenders to the four- ward marker. On the next play with 20 seconds showing on the clock Deadeye again went back to pavs. It was a tosv in the flats to end Billy Jack Booth and Northwestern had scored with 14 seconds left in the game. Boy, this tastes good. A few of the 20,000 fans who saw us Wreck Tech. Who ' s got the ball??? The try for the PAT was no good but it didn ' t really matter as Northwestern upset the highly rated Tech team, 18-14, in or, e °f tne most memorable State Fair contests. Not only did Clayton ' s boys walk off with the win, but Ralph Conrad was named the outstanding back of the affair and Booth was selected as the outstanding lineman. After the win, President John S. Kyser rewarded the team and the students with a holiday. Texas Lutheran was the next foe for the conference leading Demons. Tolar picked up 127 yards on just five carries in the game which was a runaway for the N. S. C. eleven, 43-12. Almost everyone playing got a chance to score as the Texans could do little in stopping the Demon powerful offense. Hoffpauir again demonstrated his talents in tossing the long one as he and Booth teamed up on a 38-yard aerial TD. And you think you ' ve got a monkey on your back W m 1 v|H Wrli y t A H ? V 1 Riding a 3-2 record, the Demons moved to Monroe to face confer- ence foe Northeast State College. The Indians were holding a 3-0 GSC slate and appeared to be strong opponents for the conference title. Tolar, Hoffpauir and Conrad teamed up to run wild over the Red Skins and destroy any hope of a title in posting an overwhelming 42-6 victory. The defeat of the Monroe crew narrowed the field to three teams still in the running. Northwestern held a 2-1 slate, Louisiana Tech held a 2-1 slate and Northeast, who hadn ' t met the La. Tech squad, was still in with a 3-1 record in GSC action. Homecoming appeared and so did the Southwestern Louisiana In- stitute Bulldogs. Hoffpauir rifled four touchdowns for the Demons after a scoreless first quarter and the N. S. C. defense held as the Purple and White copped a 28-7 victory. The win moved the league slate to 3-1, with only one GSC opponent remaining. That was South- eastern State College at Hammond. A game against Livingston State College of Alabama was a breather for the hard fighting Demons as they stomped the visitors, 64-0, in gaining their sixth win against only two defeats. During the game, N. S. C. realized that two things had to happen now if the Demons were to win the title out-right. First, Northwestern had to defeat the Southeastern club; second, Northeast had to pull and upset over the mighty Bulldogs of Tech. Both games were close ;is the Hammond crew held the Demons to only one touchdown in postin g a 7-0 conference win and at least stak- ing a claim to part of the conference laurels. The Tech game was close too, but the Canines managed to take the win and register a tie with the Demoni tor the Gull States Conference championship. An unscheduled game came up for December It as the Natchitoches Athletic Club expressed the desire to have the Northwestern Demons meet the Sam Houston BearkatS in the first annual Christmas Bowl Game. One ot the coldest days ol the year showed up for the game along with eight-thousand honest football tans. Doug Hurt, Dale Hoffpauir and Hilly Jack Booth seemed to lie the entire Demon attack as N. S. C. sv ' Jr. m t r B i . T. y 1 Lr« W ' and it ' s a beautiful day here at the track. Just about even . . . two to one odds. 185 racked up an 18-11 victory. Burt intercepted two passes one of which he turned into a touchdown. Booth grabbed one of Hoffpauir ' s passes for a six-pointer while HofFpauir ran the last one over. After the game, Booth was voted the most outsanding lineman for his tremen- dous defensive play. Three of the conference title winning Demons were named to the All-GSC first eleven. They were end Billy Jack Booth, tackle Burt Heckel and fullback Charlie Tolar. Dale Hoffpauir and Ralph Con- rad, backfield stars for the Northwestern squad, were named to the second team. Booth led the circuit in pass receiving as he caught 23 for 445 yards and five touchdowns. Heckel was named to the team because of his ability to move a man out of position, offensively and defensively. Tank Tolar was the only unanimous choice for the first eleven and was a must to receive the most outstanding player award for the second year. Final Gulf States Conference statistics placed Tolar as the number one scorer, Booth as the number one receiver, Hoffpauir as the num- ber one passer and number two in overall offensive gains, and Ralph Conrad as the number two ground gainer rushing.

A season slate of 18-10 was posted by the N. S. C. cagers, while a 6-4 conference record was collected. In his second full year for the N. S. C. Demons, Coach Skinner hits for two against McNeese. 187 Up, up, ami away . . . Cranford managed to juggle the starting line-up around to play an average of 12 men each outing. Leading the way for the Demons this season were Jimmy Leach, Bobby Wicker, Elvin McCann, Phil Haley, Larry Fontenot, Jim Atkins, Bill Stewart, Larry Skinner, Gene Wright, Truitt Weldon, Da- vid Brown, Dick Johnston, and Ed Hunter. During the early season games Cranford used many more Hurry, Hunter, he needs help Captain, plus goal, equals two points. players than one would normally expect. This was because he was experimenting with the material he had, before com- mitting himself to picking a first team. Through the year the Demons came up with many fine performances as Little Jimmy Red Leach was the spark- plug and leading scorer for the Demons. He finished the season with a 24 point average per-game and led the GSC in point making. In his last outing, against conference foe Southwestern Louisiana Institute, Red collected 54 points to set an all time high in N. S. C. scoring. He also set rec- ords for scoring in a single season as he posted 675 points in the 28 listed games. His four season total was 1,753 which is less than fifty off of the record set by Dick Brown several years ago of 1,802. Leach was the number one pick of sports writers in the state for the all-Gulf States Conference as he made it four years in a row. Jim was ranked nationally for many weeks in the scoring bracket in the N. A. I. A. listings. London Bridge is falling down. During the Christmas Holidays the Northwestern hard- wood squad competed in the annual Gulf South Classic in Shreveport with the Demons finishing fourth in the three- day tournament. It was the first meeting of N. S. C. and Louisiana Tech for the season also, as the Ruston Bulldogs took a 79-75 victory As the basketball season continued, it became evident that the Northwestern State five was the only team in the con- ference that had a chance of knocking the Canines from their unbeaten perch. In the two regularly scheduled contest the Bulldogs of La. Tech defeated the N. S. C. team by con- vincing margins. At the conclusion of the season the Demons had lost once to Southwestern, twice to Tech and once to McNeese. The six wins were enough to hand the Demons the second place position in the conference standings. A fine group of freshman and sophomores were on hand this season to aid the Demons in the fast moving season. Brown sinks two apainst SLI 189 We train ' em young, you know They were Truitt Weldon, David Brown, Gene Wright, Phil Haley and Larry Skinner. Leach, a senior this year, will be hard to replace but the Demons will have the depth needed to find another sharpshooter. Those who played their final games for the Northwestern State College were captain Elvin McCann, Larry Fontenot, Bobbv Wicker and Jimmy Leach. Cranford, who will have his first real team next season, seems pessimistic about the 1959-60 season as he will have to find a scorer to take Leach ' s vacated position. 1958-59 BASKETBALL SCORES NSC.

Cheerleaders 191 Baseball i t, ,„ rieht Malcolm Gomez, Billj R 3 Cook and Laro 192 After being Co-Champions in 1957, the Northwestern Baseball- ers had a rough season in 1958 in posting a 13-11 season record and a 7-7 Gulf States Conference slate. The 7-7 mark was good enough however, to rank the Demons in third place in the confer- ence race behind the first place Louisiana Tech and second place Northeast. Diamond coach, Alvin Cracker Brown, relied on the strong pitching of Billy Roy Cook as Cook posted a 5-2 record for the year and a 3-2 conference performance. Billy Osborne and Buddy Cosenea each posted 2-1 pitching records for the Demons in league action. Leading the way for the Demon nine at the plate were Ronnie Kincer and Kemp Flash Gordon. Kincer led the Northwestern crew in batting with a high .365, while Gordon posted .364. In con- ference batting it was just the opposite as Flash collected a .350 average at the plate to a .333 total for Kincer. At the close of the season, Billy Roy Cook and Billy Jack Booth, shortstop for N. S. C, were named to the all-Gulf States Confer- ence team. This was the third straight year that Cook had received the honor. Lettermen for Northwestern were Tom Baker, J. W. Beck, H. A. Butler, Jerry Cloutier, Charles Cosenza, Billy Joe Osborne, Dale Reeves, Blake Sims, Ronnie Kincer (all of whom graduated), Billy- Jack Booth, Billy Roy Cook, Kemp Gordon, Jerry Lott, Mickey- Mills, Larry Reeves, W.

The Northwestern State College track team, under the able supervision of Coach Walter Ledet, continued to dominate the Gulf States Conference cinder tourna- ments as the Demon tracksters lost only two meets during the regularly scheduled season and posted five wins. The GSC meet, which had been won for five straight years by the N. S. C. run- ners, went to McNeese State College as the Cowboys defeated Northwestern 80 4 -80, although the Demons beat McNeese in the regular season meets. Coach Ledet continued his domination of the NSC Relays by sweeping most of the running events as well as the field entries. The meet, which was started in 1949, has never been won by another school other than Northwestern. _tf ?,% Ps ? ft rJ% 8T Tt BTITI The four quarter horses of NSC ' s mile relay — Jordan, McClellan, Moore, and Tolar.

Lettermen named to the 1958 track team were Bobby Farrier, Lou Leipiens, Charles Tolar, John McClellan, Steve Jordan, Petie Moore, Charlie Hennigan, Harold Smith, Roy Underwood, Ray Timm, Charles Herring, Don Herring, Keith West, Jerry Haynes, Bert Heckel, Dale Hoffpauir, Bobby Wicker, Sonny Jimes, Don Deen, M.

Gymnastics Northwestern ' s gymnastic squad continued to dominate all meets during the 1958 season as they brought four major titles back to the N. S. C. campus. Coach John Piscopo, whose teams have lost only one meet in five years, directed the Demon gymnists. During the season the Northwestern muscle-men copped the championship in the Gulf A. A. U. meet, the Southern A. A. l , the Southwestern A. A. I ' ., and the Mid-South Intercollegiate meet. Only once was the team defeated and that was against Florida State University. Barry Johnson was the high point man for the season on the N. S. C. squad as Tvrell Leach, who scampers up the 20-foot rope in 4.2 seconds, continued to sweep victories in every meet as he hasn ' t been beaten yet in college competition. The time is good enough to rank him among the top ten in the nation. Highlights for the year included a tour of Louisiana high schools and the annual home show as well as the Natchitoches Christmas festival. Co-captains for the Demons were Bill Pearson and Allen I.und- gren, with Jeff Eiennessej assisting with the coaching duties. Coach Huey Cranford, in making his debut as varsity tennis coach, guided the ' 58 Demon tennis team to a record of four wins, one tie, and seven losses, to give them fourth place in the GSC. The seven defeats included four matches in which the Demons were narrowly victimized by identical 4-3 edgings. Levi Boo Thompson, a veteran swinger from Waterproof, and Bill Chamberlain, from Elizabeth, posted the best individual records in the Singles , each winning eight matches while dropping only four. Things looked rosy for the ' 59 season until the Demon ' s number two player, Jim Dowden, dropped out of school. As a result of his loss, the Demons went into the ' 59 sea- son with Thompson, a two-year veteran, at the number one position; Wade Parsons, three- year letterman, at number two; Charles Bice, one-year vet, number three; Bill Chamber- lain, three year vet, number four; and Jerry May, two year letterman, number five; with Jerry Sanders maintaining the number one challenge position. 1958 DEMON MATCH SCORES NSC 3 NSC o NSC 7 NSC 3 NSC 4 NSC i Centenary 3 McNeese 7 La.

Forty-one library science students and li- brarians, and several dignitaries attended. At this banquet-meeting there was considerable discussion of the need for a nation-wide or- ganization for undergraduate library science students — a professional fraternity. Out of this discussion grew the establishment, on January 17, 19+6, of the Northwestern State College Library Club, which was later re- named the Scharlie E. Russell Library Club. On May 3, 1950, the members of the Club de- cided that the time had come to establish a nation-wide organization; they established Alpha Beta Alpha, the first national, coeduca- tional, undergraduate Library Science Frater- nity in the United States. Today there are twenty chapters scattered throughout the United States. % 5 2£ a ' Ps r a m - at. 1 OFFICERS Gan at a Jo Nettles President Delma Donahoe Vice-President ( si) Shirley Wiggins Vice-President (2nd) Jo Ellen Jameson Secretary ANNETTE WesTBROOK Treasurer BARBARA HAl NES Parliamentarian Johanna Hi lis Reporter Glenda Jones State Off er The Euthenics Club of Northwestern State College was organized in 1926.

It was Demeter in whom the power was vested to cause the sun to shine, the rain to fall, the seed to grow, and the soil to yield its fertility. Seasons changed, famines scoured the earth, and a super-abundance of crops of all kinds was pro- duced and harvested in accordance with her desires. Demeter roamed the face of the earth with the interest of agriculture at heart; and it was she, to whom all persons whose livelihood de- pended directly to the soil, looked for modern and better methods in planting, cultivation, and harvesting of their crops. Thus it is only fitting that the organization dedicated to the advancement of modern agriculture should adopt the name Demeter. The Demeter Agricultural Fraternity was organized October 18, 1924, at Southwestern Louisiana Institute, Lafayette, Louisi- ana by Dean J. L. Fletcher, then head of the Agriculture Depart- ment, now President of the same Institution. Demeter Fraternity received its national charter May 12, 1933, and in November 1935, The Beta Chapter of the National Dem- eter Agricultural Fraternity was established at Louisiana State Normal College, the present Northwestern State College.

It is fresh and rapid growing, without tradition or precedence. Four years ago an art club was formed here, but it was soon discontinued. In late September, a small but interested group of art majors came together to form a new club. The group worked hard and as a result won two second place prizes on floats entered in the Homecoming and Christmas parades. Many other plans are being made and some are in process at this time. On February 7, 1959, Gamma Mu chapter of the Kappa Pi National Art Fraternity received its charter. It is the first chapter in Louisiana. 220 MRS.

The purpose of Sigma Alpha Iota is to advance music in America. Sigma Alpha Iota Symphony To study and practice the goodness of life, the beauty of art, the meaning of music. To sing the song of sincerity and universal peace. To speak the words that build, that bless and comfort. To play the harpstrings of lovingkindness, tolerance, appreciation, and genuine gratitude. To strive for the joy of simplicity, for the noble, to be faithful over a few things. To listen, to be still, and to know the harmony from within. To falter never in seeking loving service, wisdom, and understanding. In a ward, to be loyal to Sigma Alpha Iota and her teachings; to find joy, hope, inspiration; to remember that ' every good gift and every perfect gift is from above ' and ' whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord, and not unto men. ' And again, to practice. This is to be our Symphony. Esther Requarth, Nu. Front row, left to right: Miss May Beville, Edith Ann McDaniel, Mrs. Sue Little, Sarah Oliver, Edwina Thedford.

However we would like for you to realize actually how many people helped us, and just what each contributed. First we were fortunate in having the most cooperat ive staff for which an editor could ask; this in itself was an incentive to try and publish the best. We would like to thank Benson Printing Company of Nashville, Tennessee, and their fine staff for the beautiful work they did in designing, printing, and publishing our Potpourri. The editors would like to express a special thank-you to Mr. W. A. Benson, Jr., without whose constant and generous help and understanding we could never have presented this book to you. Hand in hand with Benson, we worked with Shreveport Engraving Company, which is in charge of all of the engraving of the photographic material used in the book. To our best friend there, Mr. P. A. Pap Dean, we publicly express our sincere gratitude for his numerous visits to help us out, patient work and understanding, and quick smiles and kind words to pick us up when we felt completely lost. To Mr. Joe Uhrbach, the 1959 Potpourri photographer, we owe a special hats- off salute. He made pictures for us from sun-up to sun-down, seven days a week, never questioning our requests no matter how inconvenient they might have been. Another hats-off to Mr. Thomas Red Hennigan and his staff of three assistants who made and produced pictures in record time to answer our urgent pleas for more shots. It would be impossible to write a letter of acknowledgment without thanking Doc Marx for his guidance, his wit, and his signature (without which we don ' t get paid) . Seriously, Doc, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And always, last but assuredly not least, we thank the administration, faculty, staff, and student body of NSC for electing, supporting, and cooperating with us through- out the year. It is our sincere wish that this Diamond Jubilee edition of the Potpourri will long help you to fondly remember NSC — in her 75th Year.
