A THE YAMAGRAW ISSUED BY THE FOURTH SENIOR CLASS OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Tlpo ' i ijXiov aparoXci ' . — Herodof u s History of The Coat of Arms NE of the proudest heritages of our University is its right to the use of General Oglethorpe ' s coat of arms; and we gladly accept this heritage because it represents the superb ideals of that wonderful man who was both the founder of our State and the inspiration of our University. A copy of the Coat of Arms was found in an old book at the Carnegie Library of Atlanta. The shield consists of a field argent with a black chevron and three boars ' heads, two heads above the chevron and one below. It is surmounted by a larger boar ' s head with a green twig and tusk showing. The motto on the scroll beneath reads, Nescit Cedere. Only one change has been made from the original coat of arms: General Ogle- thorpe ' s motto Nescit Cedere has been changed to read, Manu Dei Resurrexit. Until this year there had been no official Coat of Arms of the University; but this summer Dr. Jacobs had made a large-sized reproduction of the Coat of Arms, which was stamped on his watch fob. This Coat of Arms is beautifully carved in walnut and was made in Switzerland. It is to be the official Coat of Arms of the University and hangs above Dr. Jacobs ' desk in his office in Lupton Hall. YAMACRAW amacraw is a native Georgia word; it is the name of a tribe of Indians who lived near the bluff where Oglethorpe first landed. This bluff was called ama- craw Bluff and is today just outside of Savannah. It was on this bluff that General Oglethorpe negotiated treaties with the Indians which caused them to move and to settle along the banks of the Chattahoochee. Several appropriate names were suggested for our first Annual, but none ot them carried with them the associations of the old word Yamacraw ; and since the publication of the first Annual ro more fittinn; name has been found.

Their hearts are alike, their souls are pure white. And gleam like lilies throughout all the night. Our MOTHERS, our Wonderful MOTHERS! Foreword DTff W ' Annual, which is the informational I , m l; medium of the Class of 1923, we wish that )@«i @- ' were possible to make you feel the class ' -- i ' _ ' , spirit, see the cordial relationship of pupil and injtructor, hear the vociferous acclamations ac- corded our athletic heroes and withal touch the springs of college life, but we find it beyond our power by word or pen to convey to you a vivid picture of its meaning. In our own way we have tried to make this publica- tion worthy and acceptable. Realizing its imperfections we only ask that you read it impartially, sincerely hop- ing that it will meet with your approval. Cognizant always of the sympathetic attitude of friends we trust that it will ever fall into friendly hands. The Editor-in-Chief. C: The Oglethorpe Tradition IMERGING proudly and nobly from die mists of half a century our two buildings face the stream of busy life which flows along Peachtree to and from At- lanta , and point toward our unfinished Quadrangle where their brothers and sisters will some day be erected. Built with the finest materials that the world can offer and under the highest ideals that God can inspire, they speak to us of the future and of the past. They tell us of the day when Sir James Oglethorpe was a student at Corpus Christi College in the English town of Ox- ford, absorbing the traditions which were even then many cen- turies old. They tell us how this Englishman, liberator and philanthropist, founded our State of Georgia; and how, with deep insight and faithful Christianity he was the first Governor in the new world who prohibited slavery and who barred the sale of whisky from his State. They tell us why after a hun- dred years the Synod of Georgia founded a college in his name on a long, low ridge called Midway, near the town of Milledgeville. Begun in 1835, the college grew rapidly in size and impor- tance. It was the only Presbyterian college for men south of the Virginia line and became the center of a brilliant assem- blage with such names as Leconte, Woodrow, Talmadge, Beman and Baker on its roll. Among her alumni were governors, justices, discoverers, and — Sidney Lanier. She imbued in her students the traditions of Oxford, the love of Oglethorpe, and the spirit of New America. Then, in ' 61, the war. With all the fervor of her teachings she threw herself into the defense of the Confederacy. Her boys marched out to war, her money went into Confederate bonds; and she died at Gettys- burg. Died fighting. MAC ' W But the Oglethorpe tradition was not dead — such fine tradi- tions never die. Dr. Jacobs can tell you how, in the late eighties of the nineteenth century, an aged grandfather used to visit his son in South Carolina. For over eighty years he had lived the life of a professor and preacher and even now would read his testament in the original Greek. There was a little grandson who often sat near his great arm-chair to ask ques- tions and to hear stories; and one of the stories which he re- members with the greatest distinctness is that of a school which was founded many years ago, when even the grandfather was a youth, and in which he had taught when he became a man. The little boy learned to picture the classic outlines of its white Doric columns and to imagine the great college chapel which was reputed to be the finest in the United States; and more than once he said: Grandfather, when I get to be a man I am going to Ogle- thorpe, too. ' The answer was always the same, spoken in tones which were full of sadness: No, my boy, you will never stand on the Oglethorpe cam- pus. Right, but wrong! For the Oglethorpe tradition handed down from grandfather to grandson, was too beautiful to die. The boy grew to be a man, and his love for the tradition grew into a desire to refound the college. In 1910 he commenced the work, and aided by thousands of people whom he touched with the magic wand of the tradition, Oglethorpe reopened her doors in 1916 — reopened her doors to the young men of the South whose grandfathers she had taught before them. And see! The mists are lifting! Behind the first two build- ings of limestone and granite appears a level and beautiful campus. Facing the campus in the distance is a noble, towered Gothic building. It is the School of Expressive Arts, the home of Literature, Art, Music, Poetry. To the right appears the MAC W chapel, once again reputed to be the finest in the United States. It is flanked by other majestic buildings, the counter- parts of which appear on the left of the campus green. Stu- dents move in and out of the Gothic doorways, which are cov- ered with evergreen ivy. The very buildings, grand and ever- lasting, have fallen heir to the traditions of Oxford, the love of Oglethorpe, and the spirit of old Georgia, enobling the lives of thousands in the land of Oglethorpe ' s dream. Oglethorpe was founded for a tradition, and through tra- dition she was refounded. Tradition and the hand of God! By J. L. J., ' 23. Yamacravv Staff r Yamacraw Staff Officers Murray M.

What a host of memories it brings back to us. We remember very clearly how we first came to school as freshmen; awed by the privilege of at last becoming college men and eternally concerned over the dangerous possibilities of rat court. With the urge of the sophomores behind us, in our freshman year we earned the highest class average in the school, put out a very successful basketball team, and furnished a large number of athletes to the football and baseball squads. During our sophomore and junior years we grew older, wiser, and fewer in numbers. As we grew we found our abilities and assumed our responsibilities; and finally, we found ourselves. Found ourselves Seniors! As seniors we were the guardians of the honor of our college, the lead- ers in all kinds of academic work, and the directors of almost all of the student activities. In these things we hope that we have lived up to the Oglethorpe tradition. It very seldom happens that all the members of a senior class not only do very excellent class work, but also are interested almost without excep- tion in some form of student activity. We would make this our claim to distinction. As a result of this activity student enterprises have prospered this year. The Oglethorpe Players, which is the oldest organization at Oglethorpe, usually gives only one performance, that in the spring; but this year they have built a stage in the Lupton Hall chapel, fitted it with scenery, and have given seven plays during the year. The membership of the club has grown to fifty, taking in one-fourth of the school. The Petrel has been published regularly every week, an accomplish- ment which had not been realized for several years. Its style has been changed and its size has been enlarged so that instead of being a rather uninteresting and more or less amateur paper, it has become a live and newsy college weekly. Our college Annual, the first since 1921, is intended to be compared with the best in the South. It has been a considerable strain to put out the Annual with so many of our twenty seniors vitally interested in other activities; and perhaps it has made some seniors take time from their stud- ies; but our class average for the last term was ninety and one-tenth. Y A ! C R ' W Oglethorpe had not engaged in any intercollegiate debates since the time when we were freshmen, and there had been no debating organization in school; but when the University of North Carolina challenged us to debate the subject of inter-allied indebtedness, we immediately accepted and proceeded to form a debating council and to select a debating team. Two of the three debaters were seniors; and although we lost the debate we gave a very creditable performance, on which we will build a debat- ing team for next year. Our Y. M. C. A. is an excellent example of the powei- ' of doggedness. For several years it has carried on without very much support, but has always confidently planned for its future; and now its future has come. The Y. M. C. A. has taken over the Sunday morning services in Lupton Hall chapel, and is conducting them as a student organization. Dr. Libby was the first speaker to give an address at these Sunday morning exercises. The LeConte Society, premier scientific society at Oglethorpe, has been busy all year instructing its members in various subjects of scientific, and more particularly of biological importance. A series of papers have been handed in by various members of the society; and at some near date the society hopes to take up independent research. These are the major student organizations at Oglethorpe — all of them controlled and directed by a senior class of twenty members. In spite of this we have not confined ourselves to student activities. Everything that we have touched we have tried to do better than it has been done before. We have standardized senior rings, set senior traditions, and proposed and advocated student self-government at Oglethorpe. We take our leave. In a few months we will be among the names of ' the graduates, on the rolls of the alumni. We must leave behind us the organizations, the activities and the class-rooms; but we will take with us the ideals of our University, the memories of our friends, and the satisfac- tion of having done our best. C. Fred Laurence, Senior Class Historian. Senior Class Poem That priceless dream or vision Or awakening something Which stirs the heart to restless yearnings For heights and steps untrod, And wakes the slumvbering Force that holds the destiny Of one ' s whole life And reveals to him the hidden Purposeful ideals towards W hich he struggles in the face Of defeat and failure — Harboring faith and hope. Pushing through peril. Suffering stings and sacrificing Self to attain the goal — Is the thing in which is locked The force that advances humanity Towards the higher purposed end. But these yearnings in 7?iost men Are no more than rippling waters That follow the course of the stream, In the midnight silence Of the moonlit night, Over the impelling precipice And fall to the pool below, Making for a moment The unseen silvery foam Which soon disappears forever As a dream that is only dreamed. But in those few whose hearts hold Dreams full of purpose and beauty — W ho live by the light therein While fearlessly fighting on Into the vision beyond Where lies the ideal — There is the power of Advance.

Although hi s last year was his first, Aleck has won a host of friends that sincerely regret the parting words, which must come in June. You can reason with him if you have the time to spare, the wit to understand him or the brass to try to bluff him. But with a note of finality and a curt smile of disap- proval he will soon dismiss you, or himself, and withal, you can ' t help but realize that his reasoning has impressed you. From the day he entered our class he has impressed us with his son- atas from Beethoven and Carusorial solos to such an extent that in our minds there remains no doubt as to his future in the musical world. Out of his mouth and violin come forth much music and out of the music many notes. May your notes be many and on strong banks. Yea, even as Caruso ' s. En Passant. Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta — well, that must be Aleck. How ' s the violin today, Aleck? A little off? Well, that ' s too bad. How ' s the voice? Not up to usual? Well, well! And how are you? Glum? Well, now, that ' s too bad. What do you think of the operetta? Fine, but I think the Indian chief should have an extra tomahawk in his girdle to keep the Co-eds off.

And here ' s one of those fellows who always attain the end they hold in view. Whether on railroad or in class, Nel- son has never failed to glide easily through, seemingly with no difficulties. He came to Oglethorpe from Madison, Ga., and showed from the very begin- ning that defeat had no place in his route, laid out by destiny. He made his entire expenses in the printing of- fice, where he proved himself to be the best pressman that ever served in that department. As we pause before disin- tegration we all wish you Godspeed, Nelson, wherever you cast your line. En Passant. Nelson has that supreme faculty of helping a teacher teach a class. Eco- nomics, however, is his hobby, and in it he far surpasses all of his other efforts. It would not do to go so far as to say that he actually teaches Mrs. Libby the subject, but at least he often tells her when to dismiss the class. At any rate, Nelson has recently shifted his attention to football. Some wise cracks say that he did it in order to have a ready-made excuse from class. 0. McClentic Cobb Mac Easley, S. C.

Yes, sir, gentlemen, this man from the Palmetto State is one who has always peeped upon the bright side of life. He has always had a cheering smile for everyone, and his friends at Oglethorpe are numbered by the enrollment of students and Faculty. We will all remember Cobb as the man who fixes things, since that has been his mode of livelihood. Nothing is too difficult for him to fix, from a burnt-out light to a broken heart, and it ' s natural that he will keep himself fixed, though he may often be broke. Cobb, old boy, there ' s no need to wish you luck, we cannot imagine you as a failure in life, but here ' s to you — may success be even greater hereafter than heretofore. En Passant. Now you know Mac is a fine fellow, but he is a lady ' s man. Of course the writer being a woman hater can ' t say much for that quality of Mac ' s but bar- ring that, All praise Mac. Any day you can stroll across the campus and hear him playing familiar strains on his harp and guitar which make you think of the days of your youth — bring them back, Mac. I ' m for you. Murray M.

Murray has always won the laurels in his every undertaking. He came to Oglethorpe three years ago and imme- diately ascended to the throne and high standing in scholastic work. In con- nection with this, he was awarded the highest honor that the Lniversity be- stows upon its deserving students — the Coat-of-Arms Sweater. For two years he has been an instructor in the Physics and Chemistry laboratories — and, be- lieve us, he knows that stuff. Cope was one of the most popular men at Oglethorpe from the time of his entrance to his exit, and his Christian influence will long be felt by his asso- ciates. In losing this man Oglethorpe sustains a great loss, but the world re- ceives a gain that any community might feel honored to possess. En Passant. Oh, Murray, why the frown? Has your girl gone back on you? Is the Biology lesson too long again today? Is the Chemistry lab class more stupid than usual? Are the Freshmen taking too many liberties with the Seniors ' dignity? Well — maVbe the Co-eds are bothering you again? Don ' t think that you are the only one they worry. M A C R A W ROYALL C. FrAZIER R. C. Hazlehurst, Ga. A.B.

Gentle folk, this is Royall. A most ex- cellent fellow and worthy of all praise. He came to Oglethorpe in the fall of 192U to cast his lot in the future with us. And, believe me, not only the fu- ture will be glad to receive a man of such fine character and poise, but his many friends here in the University will think of him devotedly as a fellow of sterling quality. Gifted with an innate love for litera- ture, it is but natural that in his Senior year he should choose to write poetry and timely articles for different publi- cations, hence we find him in the Eng- lish department. Though now a mem- ber of the Bachelor ' s Club, there have been certain rumors which make it rather difficult for his friends to believe in his assertions of loyalty to the prin- ciples and creed of the Club. Essentially an optimist, honest and sincere in all his intercourse with his fellow students, Royall has formed many lasting friendships. En Passant. Oh, Boy, the pipe, the everlasting pipe. Fiazier smokes — we admit it — but Frazier will see visions of a book that will astound the world. Go to it, Royall, the Class of ' 23 is behind you. - r-1 ; ' e YAMACRAW Bert L.

Bert has proven to all with whom he has been associated that he is a valu- able asset to the University. He came to us in the Fall of ' 21 as a Junior, and we are beginning to know him as a true friend, and a man of sterling quality. He is capable of wielding the editorial pen as though from an inexhaustible source. It also may be well said that he has a bountiful supply of good old horse sense. He has a friendly way and pleasant smile which bids fair to win him suc- cess in his after life. En Passant. Hammack was a Godsend to the bot- any class last year. Imagine the value of a fellow who can tell tales of opium dens and the South Sea Islands, when it comes to whiling away laboratory periods. He is the only story-teller we ever had who could scare the Co-eds every time. And opinions — well, sir, if there is any book that he has not read, I will read it just to be able to tell you that it isn ' t any good.

While in our midst J. 0. has made a most enviable record, always standing at or near the top in his commercial course. He is the kind of man we all think of as a future financial magnet, and if the wo- men will let him alone long enough, we are sure that his success in the com- mercial world will be in keeping with that of the maker of Fords. High- tower, old Castle, you ' re a wealthy man if the philosopher was correct when he said, Silence is golden, for you always know when to increase your riches. While we pause on the thresh- hold of parting, the Class of 23 wishes you much success throughout your life. En ' Passant. Hightower and his cornet. Insepar- able, and yet not a nuisance when to- gether, like Lee and his clarinet. For Hightower ' s cornet has not the aggres- sive and penetrating notes of Lee ' s clar- inet. And as you would confidently expect, you never find Hightower in a heated argument; it is always a digni- fied discussion. He has another great virtue — he is still a staunch Co-ed hater; and staunch Co-ed haters are hard to find after four years of college. Al- most everyone has fallen by the way- side. n A.

He did what few have done and finished in two years and two summer terms. He is a year-round fellow. He looks sad when he has no classes to attend. If you have ever seen him on the cam- pus I know you have wondered how such a small boy carried so many books. If you will notice the size of his head you will see that there is plenty of room for all the knowledge in many books. Of course it is reaching its capacity, but we all know that his ca- pacity for knowledge is bounded only by infinity. En Passant. Here is a case that doesn ' t need much explaining. The key to it is the key to a vanity case. And that key is lost in Spartanburg. Monroe hikes up there every opportunity that he gets and tries to find it. You see, she used to live in Atlanta, and Monroe with true Atlanta spirit helps her to keep from forgetting it. That ' s fine, Monroe, but do try to keep us confirmed bachelors company for a little while at least. The road to Spartanburg is as long as the road to vacation, and the road to vacation is as long as you wish it were not. Sidney E. Ives, III Orl. ndo, Fla. A.

The only man in our class from the Land of Flowers and alligators, is Sid, a striking specimen of good na- ture and consideration, combined with sincerity and ability. His ability as a Managing Editor of the Petrel was ex- ceeded only by his literary accomplish- ments in behalf of the publication, and in judging these, we visualize him as a master of the pen in the future. Sid made a letter in tennis his first year with our class. With this combination of agility and writing ingenuity, it is certain that Sid will reap the choic- est fruits of life ' s harvest field. En Passaj t. Would you call Sidney an enigma? No, not quite that bad. for we know his name, but at least he is reserved on every subject except tennis.

He is a most excellent student and at times gives forth brilliant bursts of philosophy which would do credit to any philosopher. His efforts in be- half of the Players ' Club has been of great service to Oglethorpe, because we are known far and wide for our dra- matic art. John is very efficient as a leader in this work which assures him of success to come. John is also an athlete, in fact, there is nothing the writer knows of that John cannot make a success of. Our hats are off to you, John, for your brilliant ca- reer, and a future crowned with honor. En Passant. Well, John, what ' s the matter? You seem so tired! Is it that Mattie White did not know her part? Or did the scenery not come up to your expecta- tions? Don ' t worry, John, it will come out in the wash. The years will blot out all those scenes and leave you only the memories of a past filled with pleas- ure. Barnyard! John. n r? ;3! gSS8SS5 i£i- w James Earle Johnson . Earle Atlanta, Ga.

Earle is a quiet, unassuming sort of fellow who has a smile for everyone at any time. He came to us in ' 20, and has been a student in the School of Class- ics, making a success of his course from day to day. He is a person of no small ability in the dramatic field, as all his associates well know. And we would furthermore say that Earle has quite a literary turn, too. He was elected Senior Class Prophet, showing that his colleagues are aware of this talent. He is a steady worker, earnest, and straightforward. We are looking for great things from his field of work in the future. He ex- pects to outdo Luther Burbank in the matter of propagating plants. En Passant. Who is that tall, lanky, angular fel- low with a note-book under his arm? Why that must be Johnson. Don ' t slap him on the back, for his acromion pro- cess is as sharp as his index finger. 1 should have said his voice! You heard him when he played Luka in The Boor ? Well, then, you know what I mean. Earle has been here three years, overcoming the load that his brother of ' 21 piled upon him. The only advantage in following an elder brother is discov- ered when you arrive at Dr. Nick ' s Ethics, and don ' t have to take notes. J£ie Joel B. Kersey Joe Newnan, Ga. A.B. Above our life ive love a steadfast friend. $ K A ( Honorary Fraternity ) Joel is a man of secrets. Has he a voice? No one knows. Where does he spend his time? No one knows. All we know is what he has accomplished. He must have spent most of that spare time studying, as an examination of the Honor Roll will show. The statement, he never repeats, is not sufficient, as he never has anything to repeat. The only way to know what Joel thinks is to watch his expression. If Joel con- tinues in the way he has started, we predict great knowledge, as all goes in and never comes out. We hope he will be able to say, I do, some day. En Passant. Kersey is one of those boys who are easy to guess about, but hard to esti- mate. They can ' t be interviewed. That is to say the interview will sound about like this: You have a girl? Ans. What do you mean? Do you like to ride in automobiles? Ans. What do you mean? What is your opinion of co-educa- tion? Ans. Co-education ! Wliat do you mean? You may gather from this that the subject is not well equipped, but I as- sure you that you have the wrong in- terpretation. No, Sir! Kersey is as bright as any boy in school. ' r-SJ. C.

From the Palmetto State Fred came to Oglethorpe three years ago, and though a mite of one hundved and forty pounds he loomed up in the football realm as a bsckfield man of great prom- ise. The following year, however, he was forced to retire from the field early in the season with a broken arm. which disabled him the remainder of the sea- son. Later he suffered a broken leg in baseball, which forced a turning of thoughts from field to forum. Once in the literary circle he took the center, editing the Petrel in his Senior year. He took charge of the printing depart- ment in his Freshman year, where he worked his way to an A.B. degree in three years. His success at 0. U. is exceeded only by his popularity with the students. And ere the parting word is said, we wish you Godspeed always, Fred, and hope that fortune waits wherever you tread. En Passant. Brown hair, sparkling eyes, coral lips, rul)y cheeks.

In the political world, let there be no difference in man and woman. This is the key-note and sentiment of our dear colleague and sister. Louise came to us in the fall of ' 21 as a Junior, and has been a most zealous worker since. We would say of Louise, had she gone to a Female College, her political in- fluence would have been wonderful, but here it has remained dormant, while her progress as a student has gained wide note. She has a quality of Christian character which is well worth mention- ing, and we would say that her influence in this way is far-reaching. Louise, our hats are off, and our hearts are with you in life ' s undertaking. En Passant. To quote from Dr. Hunt, (who quotes from various and sundry sources ) , It ' s a hard life, a hard life. Yes, it ' s a valley of dry bones, scarcely worth the picking. Not to insinuate that a col- lege education is not valuable, but at least to emphasize that the way of a Co-ed is hard. You have to change your creed, your religion, and your point of view, when you come to a man ' s school; but what ' s not worth working for, is not worth having.

Introducing our Penn is an easy job, because he is known to everyone. He came to Oglethorpe in the fall of 1919 and has been trailing in the paths of the learned ever since. But Penn often wonders why studies must conflict with one ' s College career. Athletics and outdoor sports appeal to him much more than studies, baseball being his specialty; but since he must study he has a choice among the many branches, and that is the study of Com- merce. Believing that genius is merely the power of concentrated effort, he has overcome many obstacles and is now ready to reap the first fruits of his labors. We wish you much success along life ' s journey, Penn. En Passant. Penn represents the quiet side of the argument. He is the Jack out of the box, the other side of the mountain. Don ' t try to fool Penn, for you can ' t get him to express an opinion on any subject except baseball. And Penn is just like the other side of the argument, he is always there. Since he has a face set with a perpetual smile, it was only natural for him to take the business course. And since he is always there it is only natural that he shall make a success of it. c ' f O A A J. Marion Stafford, Jr. -Star Griffin, Ga.

Marion came to us in the fall of ' 20, and from his Freshman year he has in- fluenced us by his Christian character and shown us his ability to lead men. By his independence, his pronounced views, his exemplification of the Ogle- thorpe spirit, and forcefulness of char- acter, he has become a unique figure in our class, and the future holds great things for him.

Gentlemen, here he is — George, a hundred and twenty pound nugget from the City of Gold. Down Villa Rica way such specimens are rare, so our hats are off to him. George came to Oglethorpe in the fall of ' 19, and as a student has given satisfaction in all his work, but has not neglected the side lines of college life that go to make up a man. Nor has he been neglectful of the fairer sex, for many are the times George has gone to town on business — so he said — but in reality to satisfy the longings of his heart. Among his classmates George has al- ways been popular, in fact, his friends are as countless as the grains of sand on the seashore. Nor would we over- look his business ability, for he has shown himself a very efficient manager of the Co-Op Store. En Passant. George, I ' ve got to have a Chemistry book today or Copeland flunks me. You liavn ' t got one? Well, have you a Bot- any? No? A Psychology? Well, George, what have vou? Candy and cigarettes! Is this a Co-ed dainty shop, or a Co-Op? Now, George, stand up to your five feet five, and tell me the truth out of those blue eyes. When do we oet those books? Janie Leone Tribble ' ■Z,eone A.B. Deeds are nobler than words. Actions mightier than boasting. Leone, although quiet and unassum- ing, has put a great deal into her college work and consequently is getting a great deal out of it. She came to us in 1921 and took up the pursuit of her studies as a Junior. She is one of the few we may truly term as smart. We could not say otherwise, because she has proved herself a woman of sterling quality. Leone has been blessed with her full share of the quality known as grit. No task is undertaken that does not receive all her untiring efforts, and is satisfac- torily finished. May happiness and success be yours, Leone. En Passant. It is four o ' clock on a sultry, stuffy afternoon in the biology laboratory, about spring fever time. Gosh, groans Shorty, streaking it for the door. Mack follows him with a Phew!

Kind reader, permit me to introduce to you one of the most distinguished and outstanding characters of the class of ' 23. John came to us in the fall of ' 20. taking up his course of studies as a Sophomore. He at once became a mem- ber of our Bachelors ' Club, but we have our doubts as to the future of the Club as far as John is concerned. John ' s career at Ogletliorpe is one of which he may well be proud. His abil- ity as an athlete is unexcelled. Espe- cially would we mention him in connec- tion with football. John has played at quarter for three years, running his team with a smoothness characteristic of himself. After he graduates, if John continues doing as he has while here, he will always be an Ace of Spades, whatever the game. En Passant. Geechee — a pretty name for a girl to say, isn ' t it? — Geechee ! And many a girl has said it, too, I guess, for Geech ( e abbreviate it mascu- linely) you know, is a most approved lounge-hound, and tea-lizard. But now, to keep the Editor from being shot, I will add that Geech is a dare-devil football player, a dashing student, and a demmed fine chap, in spite of a few curious habits.

He that hath a tongue, let him argue. Gentle people, behold our lawyer of the future. Edgar came to us in the fall of 1920, and has been a very efficient student ever since. He is one of the greatest boosters the Univer- sity has ever had, and Oglethorpe will sustain a great loss when Edgar has passed through her doors for the last time. As a lawyer, we have no doubt as to his future. He has been a man upon whom we could rely to take a part in almost all the college activities, and carry them through successfully. May you receive the laurels you deserve, Edgar. En Passant. Where are his quillets, his quiddets, his cases, his tenures, and his tricks? In the case of Ed we can answer all of these questions . His quillets are stored in his superior temporal convolutions; his quiddets are at the end of a ready tongue, and his cases consist chiefly of getting Jock Hood up for breakfast in the morning. His tenures consist of everything that he can get his hands on, and his tricks would shame a horse dealer. The Freshmen declare that Ed is a villain at correcting English papers, but the Seniors will tell you that Ed is right there. J Senior Class Prophecy iHE fourth class to be graduated by Oglethorpe University consists of twenty-two students, three women of whom the L niversity is espe- cially proud, and nineteen men. Having completed their last year in college they will go out into the world to find their fortunes and mis- fortunes, to be judged and misjudged, and to be cussed and discussed. The prophecy which follows is written after much care and forethought have been exercised and after much consideration of the trend of the minds of the sub- jects, and is believed to be as nearly correct as an ordinary human can make it with- out the aid of a futurist. We have among our ranks at the college quite a few who show evidence of making something of themselves after leaving college, to climb many of the steps of the rough hewn stairs of success, and to bring honor and glory to their own names and to their Alma Mater. One of the most promising members of the senior class is Edgar Watkins. He has promised from his Freshman year up and has failed to carry out very few of his promises. He now promises to become one of the foremost lawyers of the South and there is no forecasting of what he may do when he gets started. Penn Selman hopes to own and operate a ' ' Gold and Black taxi service in one of our large Southern cities. In this, his commercial training will stand him in good stead. He will doubtless give free service to all friends of Oglethorpe pro- vided they intend to walk. Sidney Ives intends to make a fortune in the clothing business. It is thought that he will specialize in selling derbies and canes to the college men as there are wonderful opportunities along this line. We wish him much success in the business. George Ernest Talley — the cutest boy in two counties. George is a very lik- able chap and will probably become manager of the Villa Rica baseball team, if he cannot attain success as a dancing teacher in some fashionable finishing school. A good man can never be kept down. Miss Louise McCammon intends to bring honor to Oglethorpe as a professor in one of our large Southern institutions, unless certain complications set in which direct her attention along more peaceful yet attractive lines. Her case is a decidedly interesting one and will bear watching. Everyone is worried about 0. M. Cobb. We are afraid that before he gets well started in his commercial career he will have settled down and begun housekeep- ing. It looks as though 1923 is to be a real commencement year for him. The Commerce Department has turned out many a good man, and here is a fair sample. J. Marion Stafford will contend with Ponzi for first place among con- trollers of finance. He has the talent for such business and will probably, in a few years, add to Oglethorpe ' s number of buildings as concrete evidence of it. John L. Jacobs. This ha ' dsome chap has an ambition to become a great doctor, and if he continues working at the rate he has in college there is no doubt that he will realize his ambition. If he should, by any chance, happen to fail, he would have no trouble in getting a job coaching a class in dramatics. Miss Leone Tribble is a product of Poulet Hall and can carve a cat with her eyes shut. She is headed for a professorship in some big college, where she will teach the science to others less skilled than she. It is not certain, but her coy looks and winning ways will probably have won something else for her by that time. . Whenever we talk about clever persons we think of Nelson Burton. This im- pelling chap has become fascinated by the printing shop and will doubtless make his work in that line. There is no chance for a man of his calibre to fail in any- lliing he undertakes. Murray C opeland is scheduled for a brilliant medical career. Many start out in the profession but lose heart before they have gone far. We feel sure that Murray ' s strength of character and devotion to his purpose will enable him to see the thing through. John Varnedoe may turn out to be a football coach, and for all we know may some day be responsible for an Oglethorpe victory over some of the Up-North Universities. It is not a settled question, however; he might become a big man in the newspaper world. Judging from his present tendencies, J. 0. Hightower will soon become a com- mercial wizard. He may go into business in Jonesboro, but we feel sure that where- ever he goes he will make a big success. Joel Kersey, a man of intelligence and good judgment. Things look as though he were choosing the master profession, that of agriculture. To be a successful farmer Joe will need knowledge acquired at Oglethorpe and probably more. Fred Laurence is a newspaper man by nature and doubtless will follow that business after his graduation. If in his future life he puts as much into his work as he has at Oglethorpe, he may put the home town papers out of business. Another good man is R. C. Frazier. He has toiled and labored for the good of Oglethorpe for three years, and more than likely will continue to work as hard throughout his life. He is interested in the printing business and may some day put some real literature before us. Bert Hammack has an ambition to become an important figure in a large pub- lishing house. He believes it would be great fun to cover a would-be author ' s paper with blue pencil marks and send it back to him. He will be a good man for that job. It is difficult to say what will become of Adolf Aleck, but it is probable that he will organize a new opera company, and perform in the leading cities of the country. Music is his middle name. Monroe Hollingsworth has shown unusual abilities in his college life and if he is not watched closely he is liable to show up the Chamber of Commerce, and really put Atlanta on the map. As for the Prophet, on whose future we have dreaded to expostulate, he will no doubt in years to come stop his Fordson over by the woods on the west side of the field, and lean against the rail fence and listen to the voices of the birds as they chirp and sing, and make him glad he has chosen Tennessee for a home. Grand and glorious futures for all the members of the class of ' 23 have been prophesied, and we do so not without some faith in their abilities to carry out these predictions. We believe that if each of us exerts to the fullest, his faculties and training acquired while at Oglethorpe, he cannot do otherwise than become a credit to the University. Oglethorpe wishes to build its reputation on the acts and accom- plishments of its graduates, so we must acquit ourselves in a fitting manner in order that we may not prove detriments to the progress of our Alma Mater. J. Earle Johnson, Prophet. r w Some Day Oh, that at last 1 should have seen a day like this! Such sunlit day: This softly sloping, velvet green, O ' er-looking march so catholic. Patient of every grass and weed and flower. Of every sea and sun and snoiv and star. The long, low barricade of stones beyond. Whereon the ocean vents his violence. And then, afar, the white-lipped ivaves. And storm-ivorn rocks, And distant, hazy islands half-discerned, And birds that fly and fly and fly — Out, o ' er the sea, and on and on and on — Into the mists — As I — perhaps.

Junior Class History HEN we came to Oglethorpe in the fall of 1920 we were the largest freshman class in the history of Oglethorpe. We suffered in due course from the usual amount of over sympathetic Sophomore atten- tion, and quickly learned the joys as well as the hardships of college life. Although it was not the first year in which skirts had been seen decorating the Oglethorpe corridors, with our coming the decorations became of Oriental richness. There were twenty- five Co-eds in our class. In spite of these afflictions we lived and became sophomores, acquiring the privilege of afflicting in our turn. We acquired much wisdom, but dispensed much. Now, in our Junior year, our class has dwindled until we have just forty members, when as Freshmen we numbered 112. Nevertheless we are well represented in every branch of school activity. Our class President, Ed. David, was captain of the football team for the season of ' 22. Eight Juniors made foot- ball letters last season. In other sports Red Ivey was cap- tain of the track team, and Jake Morris was captain of baseball during the past year. We have taken a lively interest in the Oglethorpe Players, and have been represented in the spring plays each year. And we are still holding on to the determination to make the class of ' 24 Oglethorpe ' s best. Virginia Allen Pairo, Historian.

They were given a cordial J welcome and for two days enjoyed college life, when their dig- nity was insulted and their pride humbled by the Sophomore orders out- lined for them. The majority of them soon learned that their chairs were more comfortable when these orders were obeyed. However, some tried to continue to be advisors and defenders of liberty, and as a result Rat Court was in session the entire year. The class of ' 25 is very proud of the success of our freshman year, as we were well represented in football and baseball. We are boastful of supplying the pitcher who made Oglethorpe victorious over Georgia Tech. And in basket-ball, the freshman team represented Oglethorpe in the S. I. A. A. tournament held in Atlanta ; while in the Southeastern A. A. U. track meet at Georgia Tech, Tiny Roberts made a Southern record throwing the discus and putting the shot. The loyal remnants of this freshman class met and reorganized in the Fall of ' 22. And the advisors were happy, for then there were many to accept their advice. Though unsolicited, we modestly admit that time and experience have hade us quite efficient disciplinarians of this year ' s fresh- men. The management of the freshman class has been an interesting ex- perience for the Sophomores, and was the means of discovering material for the Law School. A creditable number of our class have merited positions on the football and baseball teams this year. In the Players ' Club, several have done very good work as players, play writers, writing poetry, and composing music. With the talent and ambition of this class, we expect to attain still higher honors before completing our careers at Oglethorpe. Miller Hamrick, Sophomore Class Historian. rcsK YAM r r w Freshman Class History N September 21 we entered the freshman class of Oglethorpe University. I cannot tell of the trials and tribulations of the first few hours and days, for they are too numerous to relate. In comparison with the Wise Sophs, Model Juniors and the Serious and Dignified Seniors, we felt, oh — how insignificant. It was a hard year for some of us; but on the whole the memory of it is pleasure playing tag with pain. We freshies gathered together for the first time in Lupton Hall on Sep- tember 28 for the purpose of electing class officers, c. w. corless was elected president, r. e. ford, vice-president, and priscilla hunt, secretary and treasurer. The annual freshman minstrel show was the second important step in our first year. The freshmen are required to give a minstrel show each year for the enjoyment and entertainment of the sophomores. After many days and nights of hard work the minstrel performance was given on October 6, in Lupton Hall. Much to the delight of the freshmen, it pleased the sophomores. Athletics always tend to create more class and school spirit, so let us not forget our football men and other athletes, c. w. corless, j. w. laney, c. h. young, j. w. branscomb, m. a. nix, and r. e. ford form our football squad, charles corless has the distinction of being the letter man from our class. The cheer leader of our class is branscomb, who is known by every student. Our talents are not wholly athletic, for there are quite a number of musical freshmen. There is the Mandolin Club, of which five members are freshmen — elizabeth ransome, lillian mccammon, priscilla hunt, and s. b. wimbish. We now feel very proud of our freshmen class. In September, when we first began our career at Oglethorpe, we felt green and ignorant and very much out of place. Within a few months ' time everything had changed for us. We now feel that we are a part of our Alma Mater. The class of ' 26 is represented in all her activities, and we are looking forward to a gixat future for the freshmen of ' 22. mildred warlick, historian. o ' v A M R A Freshman Class Officers CHARLES w.

Gaertner ■i f-f n-. p y r D A im i Fraternity History At Ogelthorpe ATING from the time when Oglethorpe was consid- ered first among the institutions of the South, her fraternity history was divided into three periods. The first dates from the establishment of chapters in 1859 by Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. This period ended in 1861, when the loyal sons of Oglethorpe marched away to defend the Southland. The second period was a brief, unfortunate one. It dates from 1870-73, when the University was re-established in At- lanta, only to fall in the general crash caused by the financial disaster of the reconstruction days. The fraternity spirit was active at this time. The Kappa Alpha, followed by Chi Phi and Phi Delta Theta, installed chapters in the school. The third period dates from May 17, 1918, when Pi Kappa Phi was the first fraternity to install a chapter in the new Ogle- thorpe. This was followed by Kappa Alpha on December 1, 1918. In- 1916 a club was organized and was called Alpha Lambda. Nothing of importance was heard of the Alpha Lambda Club until 1920, when the Club decided to become a national fra- ternity of its own. On March 27, 1921, a charter was granted to the Alpha Lambda Tan, giving it the right to become a na- tional fraternity by the State of Georgia. The Alpha Lambda Tan was the first fraternity in the history of Old and New Ogle- thorpe to become a national fraternity. In 1922 the Alpha Omega, a local club, was granted a char- ter by the Delta Sigma Phi. w J O:: r Y A M Founded 1920 c Masonic Club OFFICERS w N. B.

The membership in the Club is limited to men who have won their letters in some branch of major sport, and although letter men are not compelled to become members of the organization, the Club has come to have such an effect upon Oglethorpe athletics that membership in the Club has come to be looked upon as following the winning of a letter. Because of the service it has rendered to local athletics, the faculty committee on athletics has given to the Club the right to elect the man- agers of the various teams which represent the school, and to have a part in the naming of athletes who may wear the Varsity 0.

It is both original and unique in the fact that it; aims not only to develop the dramatic instinct latent in individual members by giving them experience in acting, but also to foster and promote the production of plays by these same members. For three years this plan has been followed most successfully. The first year, four one-act plays were put on: The Man from the Agency, by R. H. Armstrong; The Thief, by Margaret Horton; The Interrupted Chess Game, by P. H. Gaboon; Arranged by the Family, by B. W. Collier. Last year only three plays were presented: After the B.A., What? by Grace Fis?her; Out of the Night, and Prospects, both by J. H. Burns. This year the plays selected for production were: Billing and Coueing, by L. G. Pfefferkorn; Realities, by Rossiter Chance and Gladys Crisler; and The Prince of Egypt, by Louise McCammon. w c . h m-iyp r Y A ivi C R A W Mandolin Club Mrs. M. H.

The Mandolin Club started under the able leadership of Mrs. M. H. Hunt, who was already experienced in this line of work, having been leader of the Mandolin Club at Davidson College before coming to Ogle- thorpe. While not giving regular recitals at fixed dates, the members have enjoyed the practices and occasional performances. The Club is in line with the band and orchestra and is able to play all the popular music of the day. It is. in demand by all the students and others who like real music.

In the beginning, therefore, she founded her band and orches- tra. The instruments were largely donated by Mrs. Lee Ashcraft, former President of the Woman ' s Board of the L ' niversity. Both orchestra and band are now under the direction of Mr. John T. Lee, whose skillful management has developed certainly one of the best college orchestras in Southern Inter-collegiate circles. It is the pride of the college and is in demand on all occasions, social, radio, academic. The orchestra fur- nishes the music for the Oglethorpe Players on the occasions of the presentation of their plays both on the campus and in the down-town theatres. ' he YAM.

Most of its members are experienced professional players of wide experience and all of the solo instrument players have shown real ability. Thq natural result of combining these players is an exceptionally fine, little orchestra. Adolph Aleck is a violinist whose tone you will remember. Robert E. Lee plays the clarinet in a way that has earned for him a place among the leading clarinetists in Atlanta. R. E. can do things with his clarinet that will make you wonder. Roy Lee plays the cornet. His playing reveals a very adequate technique, but Roy uses this technique as a means only to an end. He plays like the great ones. Will Lee certainly holds up his end of the reputation that the Lees have earned by their musical work. Like his three brothers, Bill played professionally long before coming to Oglethorpe. In addition to being a fine alto player. Bill is a pianist who knows how to put things over. John T. Lee, director, is one of the finest fellows we ever met. John knows music and can play it. We always expect great things from him and these expecta- tions rise since we have just learned that a very desirable scholarship under one of the best teachers downtown has been awarded to our own John. Miss Carol Gifford ' s piano playing is interesting because she herself is interest- ing and everything she does is interesting. In addition to her work with us she plays one of the big organs down town. Rossiter W. Chance is just the drummer this orchestra has been looking for. And we ' ve been looking for the best drummer we could get. Robert Pfefferkorn has appeared as piano soloist with the orchestra on a num- ber of occasions. He plays the big things in a really big way. His playing of the Ballade in A flat will give you some new ideas. unie C R- A W Y. M. C. A. Cabinet J. M. Stafford. Jr President M. M.

All during the year this organization has been bringing out to Oglethorpe prominent ministers, lawyers, doctors, and business men from the city of Atlanta; men who were best fitted to inspire in Ogle- thorpe men the ideals and traditions of their college. As a splendid recognition of their efforts this organization has been put in charge of the Sunday morning services in the Lupton Hall chapel, and they are redoubling their efforts to give Oglethorpe the atmosphere of true relig- ion which must presage any sort of great success. m P V A 1 A C -. ra A ..ST! ' Debating Team Edgar Watkins, Jr., Leader John Jacobs Abe Orowitz Robert Jackson, Alternate At a meeting called in the fall by Dr. James Routh to consider the challenge of the debating team of the University of North Carolina, officers of the Debating Council were elected: John Jacobs, president; Sidney Ives, vice-president and Marshall Houx, secretary and treasurer. The subject proposed bv the Carolina men was, Resolved. That all debts incurred by the Allied powers in carrying on the World War should be cancelled, and the Oglethorpe men assigned to the affirmative side of the question, John Jacobs, Edgar Watkins and Abe Orowitz won as principals in the tryouts with Robert Jackson acting as alternate. The meeting of the Carolina team in Lupton Hall inaugurated de- bating as a local undertaking, this being the first intercollegiate contest on the campus. Althougt the debaters were fully prepared by reason of intensive training under Dr. Routh the Carolina debaters won the unani- mous decision of the judges. But with the entering of the activity of forum work it is believed that from this time on the Oglethorpe debaters will take more readily to the work and debating will become a regular activity at Petrel Nest. n ' ' ' f SiiS t_ i. . 1 w THE PETREL Founded by the Class of 1920 Published weekly by the students of Oglethorpe University, and application made for entrance as second-class matter at the Post Office at Oglethwrpe University.

Coaches m The man in the center of the picture wearing a slouch hat is Coach Fi ' ank B. Anderson, who is by no means a slouch of a coach. Coach Anderson has been director of Oglethorpe athletics ever since there was such a thing as the word tram associated with our Alma Mater. He has had supervision of football, basket-ball, track, tennis and baseball outfits during the seven years that he has been connected with the Univer- sity, but the turning out of first-rate baseball teams is his particular hobby. He ' s perfected his hobby to the n ' tieth degree. At some forgotten occasion Dr. Thornwell Jacobs referred to Coach Anderson as the Father of Oglethorpe Athletics. The occasion is for- gotten, but the title stuck. And it ' s right that it should. He ' s daddied and petted and even beat, all in a fatherly manner, considerable athletic knowl- edge into the more or less elephant-tusk craniums of many a Petrel who later rose to heavenly heights in athletic atmosphere. There ' s a gentle persuasion mixed with a leading ability in the method of instruction that the Petrel mentor employs that gets the fighting spirit into his men. The reputation that the Gold and Black aggregations have gotten throughout the Southland is largely due to Coach Anderson. It may be a love for the man, it may be a desire to put Oglethorpe first, or it may be the mere personality of the leader, but whatever the cause of this spirit it is sure that Coach has injected that rare and much be-cherished team work into his candidates. Coach Anderson has done rare service for Oglethorpe in the years that he has led Petrel athletes, and the Annual staff is echoing the sentiment of the student body in toto, when it raises the glass to him, A rare gentleman and an athlete. Coach Russel Stein, captain of the undefeated Washington and Jeffer- son eleven and tackle on Camp ' s AU-American, made his debut in coaching at Oglethorpe in 1922. Coach Stein knew football. Trained by the great Greasy Neale, he had gotten hold of the details of the game and added to that a perfect physique and the intuitive trend to the sport, he was scheduled to make the Petrels a grid machine of strength. He worked long with the candidates, drilling them in the art of pig-skin chasing, and though the season from the standpoint of games won could rank as no hurricane success, it was never said of Stein ' s proteges that they didn ' t know and play the game with a snap and dash. } A -CRAW The first year is the hardest. Coach Stein has gone through his first year, and though he isn ' t to return to Oglethorpe in ' 23, it is to be predicted -| with a degree of certaintude that wherever he takes up coaching duties in the years ahead he will turn out a team with the same spirit behind it that the Petrel squad of ' 22 possessed. Tod Browning. The assistant to Coach Stein has made himself a part of Oglethorpe. He, like the head of the grid machine, made himself, athletically speaking, at Washington and Jefferson. And he and Stein knew what they wished to do with the men in the squad. Tod helped, and prayed over and led in his part of the work with a kindly spirit which got the stuff out of the Petrel warriors. Tod didn ' t carry with him the manner of the shoulders and brains of Ye Old Time Coach. His method on and off the field was that of an elder brother who was merely showing some rudimentary tricks to his younger kids. He was a boy with the rest, he enjoyed the work, he liked the game, and in return the football scholars gave their best to the assistant coach. This isn ' t intended as an obituary for Tod. He is still a part of the coaching staff and long may he be one of us. But this flower tossing to the departed brethren is so much in vogue that it only seems proper to give a few to the men with us. To you. Tod, and may you long be a boy, teaching with your younger brothers at Oglethorpe. PTi C %M r r Football Letter Men Edgar David, Lejt End, Captain He may not be the best football captain in America, but for hard fighting and clear leadership he is the best I have ever seen. This is the tribute paid the Petrel leader for his work throughout the season by Coach Russell Stein, and the statement of the Coach is backed by Morgan Blake, who says. Ed David, of Oglethorpe, is one of the best open field tacklers in Dixie, and it is a pleasure to accord such a brilliant player and hard fighter honorable mention on the All-Southern for ' 22. Capt. David directed the team from his wing position, his calling of signals being of high order. In fact ' 22 was Ed ' s year all around. Jules Price, Manager We don ' t know whether or not Jules enjoyed his job of caring for Mother Carey ' s chickens or not, but the squad did appreciate the care he gave them. The spring sometimes left his gait as he trotted about in the interest of his athletes, but the willingness to do everything he could do or have done for them never was lacking. There is no price to be set upon a good manager, they are rare and above sordid materialistic gold, but Jules deserves to have his name set in letters of the yellow metal along with Connie Mack ' s in the managerial Hall of Fame. RoBT. Brown, Right End, Capt.-Elect Jug Brown, the captain for the coming season, knows football. He learned it while faithfully serving time — two years in fact — upon the Scrubs. But the well-used adage concerning a worthy man and holding him low was again proved true, for in the short Fall of ' 22 Jug won a position on the team, his letter and the captaincy for the coming Fall. In our humble estimation that ' s a great record for three short months. Jug has stepped to the front. We predict that he will be a fighting leader of a scrappy team. w John Varnedoe, Quarter Geechie has been quarter on the Petrel team so long that he seems to be unable to be displaced. For the seasons of ' 20. ' 21 and 22 the man from Savannah has barked out signals for Gold and Black elevens. John, besides having a football brain of good quality and quantity has a body of some import. He uses this combination to great advantage in those off-tackle gains of his. and in providing that interference in a tackle-bustin ' way. He leaves in June and may this be his football epitaph, He played a great game for Oglethorpe. ' Walter Gordy, Quarter and Half ■ Frog came to Petrel Camp from Tech High and his good work there continued here. The picture shows Frog standing still. No lens is fast enough to catch him in motion. When those short legs start work — watch out! He has a peculiar sort of barrel roll that in some way manages to continue for added yards. His drive is good, but it is his fighting heart which makes the midget back a real player. He supplies the pep for the crow d. John Morris, Half Jake has a hobby, the use of which has great dra- matic possibilities. It has been known to make strong men weep and other hearty fellows to give way to great joy. To be exact, Jake ' s innocent pastime is making his right foot connect with an inflated hogs- hide. It is a joy to see that Jake boy lift them high and far. In the Florida game especially did the sup- porters of the Gold and Black rejoice, while tliose who applauded the antics of the Gold and Blue Gator were sore-hearted at Jake ' s work. Good-hearted Jake was ;onstantly making his fellow-students merry. it. r, , V A C R A W m: .:7 Adrian Maurer, Half In the Tech game, the first one of the season, Adrian ihowed what he is capable of doing by grabbing a pass on the kickoff and running through the Yellow Jackets for a touchdown. Of the sixty-three points scored by the team in their games, this halfback scored thirty-six. He has the signal honor of making Ogle- thorpe ' s first touchdown against Tech and the Univer- sity of Georgia. He was the outstanding star of ' 22. Raymond Stephens, Fullback This elongated back was the second half of that combination which went through Tech. Mutt was a demon for work and punishment. You can knock him down but never out ' ' aptly applied to Mutt. Backing up the line was his specialty and he did it to a Petrel ' s taste. And the big fellow was to be depended on for consistent line plunging throughout the season. Mutt is a worthy wearer of the Gold and Black. Robert Kilgore, Fullback ' Bob the Sheik brought six feet of height, good looks and football ability out to Oglethorpe and used them all to considerable advantage. But on Saturday afternoons Bob used the latter the most effectively. He could sling passes with consummate grace and accuracy and bust into and through a line with the same poise. Being a first-year man Bob was ineligible for some of the first games, but he made up for lost time in the rest of the matinees. v y Herman Hafele, Right End Hack was one of the few unfortunate Petrels who suffered from injuries during the season and his loss from service after the Mercer game was hard on botli the team and Hack, as the big end. loved the rough game. Alternating at right end with Brown, Hack could always be counted on to go well. Here ' s hoping that Old Man Hard Luck forgets to visit Hack in the com- ing years. Wendell Crowe, Tackle Watch that Crowe fly. At getting down the field under punts Wendell was a dream — a nightmare to opponents, in fact, as the fasH tackle was always ready to smear the receiver of Jake ' s spirals. Deprived of a letter in 21 because of a bad shoulder. Wendell played through the 22 schedule in great shape. Big as he isj he has a manner of driving through and throw- ing men for losses and on offense he carries his man out of the play as effectively. A great tackle is Wen- dell. Luther Wyatt, Tackle For some reason or other Luther seems made for foot- ball. Big and powerful he can fill quite a hole in the line. .4nd he can make a sizeable opening in the oppo- sition line also. Playing his first year on the Varsity, Luther stepped along like an oM timer. His endur- ance is remarkable and his ability just as much so. Frankly we believe that with a bit more experience he will make All-Southern. Ov p Thomas Bartenfeld, Tackle and Center A football season at Oglethorpe without Rube is about as possible as Christmas without its gifts. It may hap- pen, but here ' s hoping that the sad day is many moons away. We wouldn ' t exactly say that Rube ever hiber- nates, but at any rate he comes out strong on crisp Autumn afternoons. Since being disillusioned of the fact that Bill Fincher is a burned-out old man Rube has settled down to real playing. His work in the Turman game will ever stand out as great football. n. Q- Charles Corliss, Tackle William Shakespeare in bygone times remarked pointedly regarding the respective agreeab ' .eness of sleek and thin men. In the same tenor let it be said that for a good tackle and one whom it is liked to have on the Oglethorpe football team is a man who takes to the game as well as the big Freshman. He was big and he was mighty and had the fight — three requisites for Varsity. Charley, having these virtues, was aptly rewarded by his block letter. Candler Campbell, Guard Candler started the season at an end, but an abund- ance of good wing-men and a lack of suitable rush line material resulted in his going to his guard position where, with his size and drive, he at once made a regu- lar Varsity berth. ' Old Lady was a playing fool the whole season long. He possesses that invaluable asset o{ a fighting heart, and combining with that real ability and considerable size, he is a plaver that any school would be proud to have represent her. m w s a William Porter, Guard Here ' s another lineman who first did service in a more ranging space. Before playing on the line Porter had seen service in the backfield. But football ability knows no bounds, and shifted to the line by Coach Stein the stocky lad worked consistently and was rewarded with the sweater as a symbol of his good labor. He was always fit, and never yet has time been taken out for him. Miller Hamrick, Guard Miller comes of a football family. The previous year his little brother Runt was a regular and this year Miller by his steady plugging kept the family record straight besides adding to his personal glory and that of Old Oglethorpe. Miller was the ultra gentleman of a gentlemanly squad. In language, playing and all- around conduct he was the gentleman athlete. The big guard has two more years in which to show his class, and we ' re predicting that they will be as suc- cessful as his first. Howard Whitehead, Center That Peck Whitehead can play football for my nickels, is the verdict of Ira V. Maxwell on the red- headed center ' s work and Mr. Maxwell spoke tersely the sentiments of the school. Peck was big enough and fast enough to rove around the central parts of the line and take care of all drives directed at his guard post as well as help out his fellow defenders of the line. Looking to you, Redhead, and may you step into many another game with Gold and Black teams. Clay Parrish, Center The boy who filled the hole in the center of the line for the Stormy ones did the job to the palate of a queen. His passing was as accurate as his tackling — deadly is the word. A Freshman making a letter at Oglethorpe isn ' t exactly an unheard of thing, but one who puts out a type of ball similar to C ay ' s is a rar- ity. May he be back for manv more years to guard the middle cavity. A C - rt:© rfl:P it: m ! r Review of Football ' % The Oglethorpe football team of 1922 passed through a unique season. The team faced one of the hardest schedules of any Southern team and certainly the most difficult ever undertaken by any team of Oglethorpe ' s rating. Ten games were played during the fall with never a let up. Of these nine were lost, and a single game was won. Enthusiasm reached a high pitch the first week in September when a squad of forty candidates reported to Captain Ed David, who took the men in charge and put them through a week of conditioning exercises. The squad was composed of a goodly number of old men, and quite a few promising new ones. It was no weak looking lot of beef and brawn which toiled and sweated under the hot September sun to get in shape for the coming season. September 10th saw Coach Russell Stein instructing his men for the first time. Stein was new to Oglethorpe and Oglethorpe was new to Stein, but Coach took things in charge and with the help of his able assistant, John Browning, he soon had things running smoothly. It was evident that Russell Stein knew the game, and it soon became evident that Oglethorpe ' s new corps of coaches would teach the men how to play football. It was well that the Petrels had the benefit of excellent instruction for Oglethorpe was scheduled to open the season with one of the South ' s greatest teams. The last Saturday in September found Oglethorpe lined up at Grant Field ready to open the Atlanta gridiron season with Tech ' s Golden Tornado as the opposition. The Tech-Oglethorpe game proved to be a real battle. The Petrels showed the effects of excellent coaching and gave Tech a real fight. The sporting world at large was startled at the result, for Oglethorpe had scored a touchdown on Tech. On a beautiful trick play devised by Coach Stein, Adrian Maurer ran 90 yards to a touchdown, slipping through the entire Tech team. Maurer became the man of the hour by virtue of this brilliant run, and every sport paper in the South proclaimed the fact that he had scored Oglethorpe ' s first touchdown against Tech. The final score was 31 to 6. Alabama came next for the Petrels and the game proved the fact that the team which defeated Pennsylvania was no flukey crowd of athletes. They ran through and over the Petrels to the score of 41 to 0. As Tod Browning said, It ' s a good thing that there wasn ' t a fence around the park or they would have pushed it off the map. ' .il ' Then Sewanee, coached by Herbert Stein, brother of the Petrel mentor, took the Petrel athletes up on their hill and forward-passed them to the deathly tune of 21 to 0. The fourth game saw Oglethorpe pitted against Furman ' s Purple Hurri- cane. The Furmanites performed as well before an Atlanta crowd as they were accustomed to do for the inhabitants of the Spartan City, and hit Oglethorpe ' s line for a 26 to nary a bit of scoring on the Petrel side. With the Georgia game approaching Oglethorpe boosters began to despair, but the team rose to the height of its form and played the Bulldog to a standstill. The game ended 26 to 6, Maurer featuring with a beauty of a 30-yard sprint for the lone Petrel score. Oglethorpe met Trinity at Durham, N. C, and lost 7 to 6. A goal from touchdown nosing them out after their own try for extra point had failed. The only victory of the year for the Gold and Black came when they journeyed over to Columbus, and defeated the Camp Benning soldiers by the score of 14 to 3. The next week the team suffered a reversal of form and lost to Mercer by a three point margin. In the final home game of the year Oglethorpe made a gallant fight against the Florida Alligator and although the Petrels showed considerable strength, Florida pushed over two touchdowns and won 12 to 0. In the Turkey day game the Chattanooga Moccasins defeated the Pe- trels by one touchdown and the agony was over. Measured in terms of games won and lost, Oglethorpe suffered a dis- astrous season. But a team ' s success is determined by many factors. The Oglethorpe Petrels gained the respect of every team they played. Ogle- thorpe has learned to play the game; she has earned the reputation of hav- ing good sportsmen. We have been told that the test of a man is the fight he makes. Measured in terms of the fight Oglethorpe has stood the test. Certainly the Petrels have played the game, and there is no disgrace in honorable defeat. The Petrels have shown that they can be great in de- feat. In defeat Oglethorpe has come to be a greatly admired team. The sentiments of sport writers throughout the South can be no better expressed than to use the words of one of the South ' s finest sporting writers who in a discussion of the Oglethorpe season said, Gallant Petrels — We look to you. r At the Petrel- ' Gator Game By Lawrence G. Pfefferkorn. Far back in history, we ' re told Of knights who stiniggled fierce and hard, Of kings who fought in battles old, Their kingdoms mighty wealth to guard. Back in those days we also hear About the tournaments they held, — Lost was the knight to his lady dear. Lest some great championship he held. We look upon those days gone by, And think about today. And then we heave a heartfelt sigh, ' Cause things aint still that way. But if a gallant knight could see This football game we play. He ' d cast his steel into the sea. To join this present fray. Oh. gridiron fan, out there behold. The modern tournament, — More thrilling than the tilt of old, With wounds that made a dent. The knights ivould eat and drink their fill. And stay out late ivith dames; But the gridiron star must curb his ivill. That you may see these games. So watch them struggle in this fight. Just see them offer all. Each mans an armoured football knight. And you ' re from Arthur ' s Hall. A W Raseball f ■ -v- ' ■ -, r. - ... • n . -Cll ' ; R.rraiier — ' Z n u W w Ford Little Captain The big Petrel hurler is a natural leader and his good right arm. together with his excellent person- ality, boosted Petrel stock in many a game. Ford is an easy working man in the box but he makes it mighty difficult for opposing batters to connect solidly. ' ' Keep ' em in the infield, was his theory and he was able to carry it out successfully. He gave his best for Oglethorpe and his best was enough to win. George Talley Manager George accustomed himself to handling Oglethorpe money while in the Co-op and then as manager served well the Petrel ball players. This managerial busi- ness is no man ' s easy job. but Toad ' performed the work so carefully and proficiently that players and students have voted him a most worthy successor to Daddy Price. George took excellent care of his players and the cash paid to see them perform. John Morris Pitcher and Captain-Elect Winning seven games out of ten was Jake ' s record for the 22 season. Pitching his second year of Varsity ball the blond athlete came into his own and was the mainstay of the Petrel pitching staff. Not only can Jake throw a mean ball, but also can he be depended upon to swat the offerings of opposing boxmen and field his position to perfection. His team-mates thought so well of his all-round ability that he was elected to the cap- taincy for the coming year. AM R. A W Mark Humphries Pitcher Alark achieved lasting fame by beating Tech in the second game of the series for the City Championship. Some happy time this may become a regular thing for Oglethorpe, but for the present it stands as a feat of real importance. Mark has begun properly and those who have seen his work know that he will continue in the same manner during his remaining three years. Frank Simpson Catcher Big Simp is unequaled at two things. The first is sitting in the lobby amusing the crowd and the second is crouching behind the plate making the team play ball. Simp ' s big bat has sent many balls on the long ride, and the way the big fellow handles bunts is a beauty worth seeing. Would that he were back for ' 23! Herbert Bryant Catcher-Outfielder Pug is a natural athlete and baseball is his best game. His sharp singles were always a menace to outfielders as Pug can stretch a long single into a short double by the simple expedient of hastening his feet to far better time than the average p ' ayer. Because of his unusual versatility he performed well behind the bat and about the far grasses. Pug was a valuable man on the ' 22 team, and will be even better in his remaining duo of seasons. o. A M A C Jules Price Second Base Jules was the most sensational player on the ' 22 squad. His hopping around the midway sack at the close of the season would have been a credit to the great Eddie Collins. A bit erratic at the introductory part of the schedule .lules flashed to anything but an uneven con- clusion. He was a speedy man on the paths, and just as fast at stopping balls, mis-labeled hits. He expects to return for the ' 23 spring pastime, and from past perform- ances will be the last man to be beat out of his job. James Partridge Shortstop J was picked by sporting writers as the man on the the team who showed the most promise of reaching ' big time. This was NOT because he displayed inclination to push J but rather because of all things the team stood foremost. J is never out of condition, which, with his healthy appetite for work, is the reason he shows promise of reaching higher baseball ranks. He would serve as a pretty good model for aspiring spheroid handlers. A w If Harmon Partridge Third Base H, the other half of the left side of the diamond combination, was a keen defender of the hot corner. He was young at the game, and for that fact deserves the more for his showing. Few balls got away from the little infielder, and his part in the H to J to Ed snap was as nice as anything seen about these parts. n rf Clifford Sims Leftfielder The Kid ended his career as a Petrel baseballer by driving out a long double. That is the sort of fighter Kid is. He never would quit and his old perseverence won him many a stroll to the initial canvas-top. As lead off man for the Gold and Black his timely bunts, with his speed, made him a difficult man to retire. Few balls got away from him in the pasture. All in all the ' Old Man was a mainstay in the bunch and his passing from Oglethorpe leaves a big place on the team and campus to be filled. Ross Kemp Center fielder Ross is that steady-going young man who in the joyous Springtime adds to Petrel high spirits by pulling down difficult drives from opponents ' bats and returns the com- plement by sending out still deeper slugs that go for hits. In his first year at the Petrel Nest, Ross showed the stuff and in the coming seasons under the tutelage of Coach Anderson, will go strong toward bringing added honors to the Gold and Black. Edgar David First Base Ed ' s steadying influence pulled the team through many a game just as his timely hits and clever fielding flashed the Petrels on to the weighty side of the score. He was among the chosen few whose batting average topped the 300 mark. Ed is a natural first baseman with his good left arm and ability to spear the high and wide ones. r Baseball Season Review |HE team which wins a third of its road games is due a championship, is an accepted baseball maxim. In line with the above we would say that the Petrel nines of coming years should lay claim to many of those Best collegiate team in the South, banners. = Due to the incompleteness of its own park the schedule called for twenty-one games off the campus and but one on Hermance Field. Working against such odds the fighting Birds won nine of those twenty-one games, and don ' t forget the fact that not one was a set-up affair. On the home field the team won from Wofford, in probably the best game of the year. Journeying Athens-ward the last week in March, the Georgia outfit, which ul- timately won the Southern Championship, won the first contest of the year from Mark Humphries by the score of 4 to 1. The next day the Bulldog scratched out seven Petrel feathers and kept its own defensive hairs intact. Including Freshmen, and the occupants of the Infirmary, only twelve students missed the second game and the taste of defeat was lessened by a taste of the good spirits offered by the Red and Black winners. Next meeting the Camp Banning infantrymen, the Gold and Black players lost the opener to the discord of 4 to 3, but evened the bill by heading out in the next day ' s aff ' air and pulling through to a 5 to 3 win. The soldiers had a nice working outfit and the break-getting was the final margin in both days ' meetings. After these preliminary encounters, the ballsters left on the longest and most difficult part of their schedule. First stopping at Spartanburg, S. C, they lost the opener to Wofford but Mark Humphries tossed unbeatable ball the next day. Result: Oglethorpe, 6; Wofford, 2. At Lynchburg College Jake Morris aided by his team- mates ' long traveling hits won out with a three run margin. Captain Little lost a heart-breaker to V. M. I., the Cadets taking apt advantage of an Oglethorpe bobble and winning 2 to 1. The game scheduled with Washington and Lee was rained out but the men made good use of the rest day by getting well primed for the University of Virginia. Meeting the Virginians at Charlottesville with Morris and Humphries doing the flinging on successive days, the Cracker Staters won twice. The Petrels lost the last game of their trip to Richmond University, the Spiders bunching their hits when hits meant counters. 8 to 5 was the final score. If winning four out of seven from such opponents isn ' t playing baseball the Giants never won a series from the Yanks. On April 19th the Petrels defeated Wofford in the first inter-collegiate contest Jield on Hermance Field. Played on a damp diamond the affair was the most spectacular brand of ball that even the most thrill-loving could demand. Jake Morris was doing mound duty for the home bunch, and doing so well that at the opening of the ninth the count was 2 and 1, the Stormy Ones leading. And then — blooey! Wofford had the bags covered with her men. Bloohooey! they were gone and Oglethorpe had won! The Petrels had pulled a triple play. It is campus talk till now. After the big home coming, the Petrels left on their second long flight. This trip was Southward, and the further toward the equator they flew the hotter their receptions became. Ford Little lost a ten-inninger to Alabama, on the lot where ¥ A M A C R A W Riggs Stephenson and the Sewell brothers formerly cavorted, but Jake Morris turned the Crimsonites away to the recall of 5 to 3 on the following afternoon. Mississippi A. and M. grabbed the first of a two time series, 2 runs being enough, the Petrel hitters being able to push over only one tally. But the Petrel aggregation staged a comeback in the second encounter and behind Jake ' s steady pitching led at the finish 4 and 2. Taking on the Mississippi College nine the Petrels received the surprise of their ball-playing lives when the ' Sippians slipped two straight by displaying a smart class of ball and taking advantage of every break. Jake Morris ran his string of victories up to seven when the team ran away from Dahlonega, and left the Aggies at the tail end of a 6 to 2 count. It was a nicely played game, but the Farmers were well outclassed by Coach Anderson ' s proteges. The final dish on the Petrel menu for the ' 22 season was the three-game series with Tech on which depended the City Championship. It had been an on and off year for the North Avenue nine and predicting the winner wasn ' t exactly a unanimous vote for Tech. However, with a more experienced bunch they were conceded a clear edge. It required the three full games to award the crown, and the sting of the Yellow Jacket was more apt at winning two of them than the speed of the Petrel. Sunshine Thompson worked for Tech in the opener and aided by a most uncalled-for blow-up by Oglethorpe won 10 and 3. Mark Humphries did his duty for the Gold and Black by pitching this team to a 6 to 3 win in the second. In the third Jake tried a comeback but his backers in the field again flared and Tech took the game and Championship. Despite the defeats by Tech the season was successful. Eight of ' 22 ' s letter men return for the coming year and to take over one infield vacancy there stands Adrian Maurer, the outstanding football figure of Georgia, who was ineligible for ' 22. Promising scrubs including Hope, Harmon, Porter and Hammel, who caught in the Tech series, all return as well as Red Cox and Feets Collier, the latter two getting into several games. Lefty Willis will be eligible and should come through for the Varsity pitching staff. ' 23 promises much for Oglethorpe baseball. Y MA C RAW Track Quality. The keynote of the Petrel track squad for the season was that all- embracing word. Two men stood legs and shoulders above the rank and file of Southern track men in 1922, and these men, Red Ivey, captain and sprinter, and Tiny Roberts, weight and discus manipulator, took places for the Stormy Petrels. These two stars, aided by the Tucker brothers, Weyman and Quigg, and Snead, provided a really colorful squad. They were small in num- bers but mighty in their efforts during the year. Particularly in the Georgia State Meet held at Emory did the men in the golden jerseys show enormous quantities of stuff. In this meet Red Ivey took the hundred and the two-twenty for the second time in consecutive years and Tiny Roberts, in his first collegiate meet set new records for the 16-pound pill and the discus. In the jumps and vaults the 1 w Tuckers and Snead went along in neat form. With these men taking points in pleasing fashion the team took fourth place in the meet. In the Southeastern Amateur Athletic Association Meet which was held in Atlanta, Tiny threw the shot for the exact number of feet that there are letters in the title of that great event — exactly forty-two feet, and then sent the discus whirling for a cool hundred and thirty-two feet. Both of these efforts gave the Oglethorpe giant first places, and established new records for the S. E. A. A. A.; all of which aren ' t bad results for the man and his Alma Mater. At the Birmingham Invitation Meet both of the Oglethorpe entries went to the finals and placed. There is not a need for comment on the track team. The athletes have said their bit with points. Their motto was, Opera non Verba. w . r k. r W Tennis Review THE year 1922 proves that Oglethorpe has gone out for tennis and that from now on it will be a sport of importance at Petrel- Town. While the part played by the Gold and Black racket-wielders in the tournaments could not be called a considerable success, the fact that the team members and the enthusiasts in general took to the game so strongly under most trying conditions led the Athletic Powers Which Be to con- struct three new courts. This is the record which the ' 23 players leave behind them. The courts which are now available are the result of the labor of the players who stuck to their playing on one miserable court. With the added impetus of more and better playing surfaces Petrel tennis players of the future have every opportunity to make good. The Annual Tournament was not held until the latter part of the season and to select the men who should represent the school in the matches which were near. Coach Anderson appointed Edgar Watkins. In the Georgia State Tournament Bill Gordy entered the singles and Edgar Watkins with Walter Gordy formed the doubles team. The players did not reach the finals but gave a thoroughly good account of themselves, particularly Bill Gordy who lost to Orton Blake, the S. I. A. A. champion. After an ab- breviated tournament the four men who were to represent the school against the University of North Carolina were selected, the Gordys, Campbell and Ives placing. Carolina had defeated Tech on the preceding day but the results of the hard scrap seemed nil as they went through the Oglethorpe team with- out the loss of a match. Walter Frog Gordy was the outstanding player of the Gold and Black contingent when he carried Cox, the best of the Carolina men, to the full three sets in a great match. And then came the Tournament. Although the draw was not ceded and several probable semi-finalists met in the earlier rounds, the yearly event lacked no end of color and good matches. Frog Gordy won the ' p M A C R A n.- singles in an uphill fight from his little brother Bill. Five times Frog had Bill at set point before he won the crown and the fighting of the last few points was typical of the whole tournament. Candler Campbell and Bill Gordy met the Gordy-Ives team in the finals for the double teams and the former pair won out in a match featured by the terrific service of Camp- bell. The tournament was a decided success both from number of contest- ants and quality of play and sportsmanship. In the S. I. A. A. tournament the winners of the school tournament played and this coming the day after the local finals the Petrels found the pace too fast and none proceeded very far. For their play in the season the two Gordys, Campbell and Ives received their 0 ' s. The year of 1923, with the new courts, Ives, Frog Gordy and Campbell back, and with Sidney Ives as manager, holds much for tennis at Oglethorpe. It Can Be Done Somebody said that it couldnt be done, But he, with a chuckle, replied That ' ' Maybe it couldnt, but he would be one Who wouldnt say so till he ' d tried. So he buckled right in, with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldnt be done, and he did it. Somebody scoffed, Oh, you ' ll never do that; At least no one has ever done it. But he took off his coat and he took off his hat. And the first thing we knew, he ' d begun it; With the lift of his chin, and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quit it; He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldnt be done, and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done. There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you; But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin. Then take off your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That cannot be done, and you ' ll do it. ■ af r Oi Petrel Pugs NDER the able tutelage of Jake Sartaine the Petrel Pugs devel- oped so rapidly in the gentle art of hit and take that it was neces- sary to stage elimination bouts after three months of instruction to determine the school champion. It is the task of the champions thus determined to uphold the prestige of Oglethorpe University in the amateur boxing world. Among the heavyweights, Tiny Roberts had very little opposition existing in his class. His one opponent fell by the wayside via Tiny ' s good left jab. One of the likeliest looking men to come out for boxing was that glutton for punishment, Truckhorse Porter. Truck possesses speed, a punch, courage and as much stamina as the average half dozen men. Iron Man Porter would be a better name for him. He won his crown handily. 1 ? y ' .-,. M A- absorbing all the punishment that Vic could hand out, then rocking his opposition to sleep with a snappy right cross. Pug Bryant just naturally uppercut his way to a cleancut decision over Fred Lawrence, the runnerup for welterweight honors. Pug is one of the mainstays in Oglethorpe athletics, being a keen football and baseball player. Goober Brown was too fast and clever for the lightweights. He would fight like a wildcat when cornered. Here ' s hoping that he displays the same sjjirit in the battles of life. Now tliat he is no longer with us at Ogle- thorpe his picture is not appended. Red Ivey! Who in the South hasn ' t heard the name of this little athlete? No featherweight had the necessary stuff to face this animated buzz saw, in a fifteen-foot squared circle. Red ' s crown is none the less deserved, because of his inability to secure an opponent. Little bald-headed Ham Gravy Hamilton nearly killed Rat Morgan before the Rat would relinquish his claim to the bantam title. Ham has speed — lots of it and combines with tliat a courage of Richard Coeur de Lion. He fights best when the odds are against him, and the word Quit was left out of his make-up and vocabulary. If these boys improve as rapidly this year as they did the past year this write-up will not suffice for the 1924 Yamacraw. V A M . R A W Basket-Bail Review O-ED basket-ball has now been definitely established as one of the major sports at Oglethorpe. The Athletic Committee of the University has agreed to support the team. Basket-ball was the Co-ed ' s first athletic endeavor and has been veiy success- On account of not having a court at the University, practices were held at the North Avenue Presbyterian School court under the direction of Head Coach Anderson, and Assistant Coaches, Stevens and Parrish. The Co-eds were late getting started this year and no definite schedule was arranged. Mary Bell Nichols was elected Captain of the team, Christine Gore alternate, and Alice Stewart, manager. The members of the team were: Mary Bell Nichols, Alice Stewart, Christine Gore, Elizabeth Broughton, Louise McCammon, Lillian McCammon, Carol Gilford, and Dorothy Foster. w The Stormy Petrel The mantle of midnight enshrouds thy lost path. The tempest forbids thee thy way; The hoarse-throated thundercloud shouts in his wrath That the whirlwind ivill work thee delay. Yet, ever, thy udngs break the will of the foam. The lightnings are lanterns to thee; Thou makest the deep-hollowed billows thy home, Thy table the breast of the sea. Dost glean thy scant pittance in wake of the gale, Thy crumbs from the hurricane ' s board. Dost hold thy faith firm when the hearts of men fail; Quailest not tho the life-boats are lowered. The dust of the tempest is thick on thy path. The surges seek ever thy form, But thine is the marvelous power he hath Who rideth the wings of the storm. swifter than tempest, stronger than boat, braver than men at their prayers. Alone on the waste of the waters, afloat In the night, yet a stranger to cares; Dost ask for no shelter, dost plead for no haven. Dost pray not thy fates as they spin, For thou, unto tvhom most of storm has been given. Most of peace hast been able to win. —T.J. vV iht Tirms iLl ddverhse herein Deserve. ourpa rondOet ' o vj n,- Cause m }Kesepades,i vou look, (oull ste lieyiiefpeaio ■fnake ' lhis Book. f .■ .., -23 Cd bD 1 t« (D c 03 3 H c.2i J3 O C3 3 m .

Their success in life, the high positions to which they have already risen, their loyalty and devotion to their Alma Mater, and their manifest ability to give more than a good account of themselves all make us feel very grateful. This annual is edited and managed entirely by the Senior Class of 1923. Of them, also, we are proud and of the work that they have done in presenting this year ' s YAMACRAW to the public. It is for them and their successors and predecessors that we have constructed and are constructing these wonderful Oglethorpe buildings and have gathered the really unusual faculty which has instructed them dur- ing their college days on our campus. We are pleased with their work, not only, but most of all with them- selves. And we would also welcome and appreciate your patronage.
