McMillan Art Editor OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY DEDICATION To The memory and achievements of General James Edward Oglethorpe, who in the pursuit of a noble purpose was one who knew not how to give up, and in the hope that we may all be enabled, as he, to perceive our purpose and know not how to give up, We dedicate this The 1925 YAMACRAW UNIVERSITY BOOK 1 CLASSES BOOK II ATHLETICS BOOK III BEAUTY SECTION BOOK IV ORGANIZATIONS BOOK V MEMORIES BOOK VI F O ]R. E W O IR. D Life without industry is guilt, Industry tvithout beauty is brutality. — William Morris. Success without the aid of a college education comes to many; few with or without this training have the power to see the beauty that is in life. We have the chance for both. To most a rock is a hard mass that one stubs his toe on; the romance of the rock comes with the knowledge of its millions of units and their activity in the rock ' s struggle against chemical decomposition. We have time only to swear and pass on when we do stub our toe — we must leave the rock to the specialists in beauty, the poets, and take from them our beauty in spare moments. Let us hope then for success, with beauty. If the letters published in Book II prove a help in reaching this goal, the staff will feel the 1925 Yamacraw a success, though Joe Smith ' s picture be published above Joseph Smith ' s name, and xeropthalmia be spelled with a z.

MITCHELL 55 Wall Street New York Health, Character, Personality, Knowledge, In- dustry, these are the essential qualities for success. The fundamental one is Health. You may pos- sess all the gifts and graces known to man, but if they must manifest through a deficient body, the handicap is hard to overcome. Most of us start with a modicum of health. How, then, to keep and better it? Pood, sleep, exercise: these three and the key words for all of them are Moderation and Regu- larity, The next basic quality is Character and to build Charac- ter a man must exact from himself that unflinching Honesty which makes him scrupulous not alone in his dealings with others, but above all with himself. You may at times be able to put something over ' ' on other people, but never be such a fool as to fool yourself. Personality is assuredly an attribute of success. Some claim it is God-given and beyond man ' s utmost striving, but I believe one may cultivate it greatly. Ease of manner, gra- ciousness, consideration for others, friendliness, democ- racy; care in speech, language, presence, carriage — all these qualities go to make up personality and all will grow with tending. Twenty-Two But I presume Ability is the outstanding quality essen- tial to gaining a high place in the competition of life. And Ability is Knowledge with understanding resting upon the basic qualities of Health, Character, Personality. What is the Understanding which gives us Knowledge? It is to know that everything one can manage to learn is closely related to everything one may ever want to do; this is the beginning of Wisdom. Do not be discouraged if as Seniors, you are barely catching a glimpse of this truth. The oppor- tunity for genuine education is boundless for those who keep their eyes open, observe what goes on about them and exer- cise the process of original thinking. Now, does Ability or Knowledge plus Health, Personality, and Character always succeed? By no means. There is a fi- nal sine qua non: Industry backed by determination. Every soul shaped for success must develop the indomitable Will to Win — and how. First eliminate the Laziness that is in you. Be unwil- ling to excuse yourself from work. Forget the clock drive yourself to Industry until it becomes your habit. This, then is the Chart of success: Health, Character, Personality, Knowledge, Industry; all yours for the demand- ing. But, remember, always, the greatest of these is Health. out it. IKt THE VA.i-1-EY HYDA.U, GEORGLA. A man should standardize himself early in life with what he considers the essential vir- tues of a man, and he should practice them until they become habits of conduct. If he chooses honor, energy and courage, all the others will be added unto him. In my own experience I have learned never to take a dare from life, but to face what- ever comes. It is better to be defeated in the effort to achieve than to retreat without making it. To speak the truth is a sublime privilege which fools and cravens never enjoy. It is ignoble and unprofitable to practice vengeance, but it is despisable to court one ' s enemies and produces the perfectly correct impression that one is treacherous or knows himself to be inferior and incapable of the decent in- difference which buries enemies. The man who believes in God, and so acts, dignifies him- self. Such faith is a form of spiritual culture and ele- gance which the meanly bred who deny Him never have. As the shadows of the years lengthen behind him this is what every man knows: — It is more exalting to have earned his own self-respect than to have many worldly honors with- C t c( f oc Jx Twenty-Fon The Nash Motors Company .VfHi i iirfurnr.H o A ' tes i Cars and Trucks Kl•:XOSHA, V ' I8COXSI J young man, after graduating from col- ime to me for advice I would say to First, make up your mind that you are ing to lead an honest, industrious life. k ] ll H Next, that the life you lead will be clean i Hk. wHi in every respect; that as you go on down life ' s H I H pathway, you will attempt to do unto others, MWM BI as near as may be, as you would like to be done unto. Next, that you will not attempt to climb a ladder by starting at the top, but that you will be willing to begin down at the bottom and climb the ladder step by step. Next, that you will practice in your living and in your business life, economy, having in mind at all times that a dollar saved is as good as two earned. ' ' The next thing for the young man to do is to make up his mind about what he thinks he would like to do in a business or professional way through life, and then start at the bot- tom at that thing and not undertake to do something that he would not be interested in. When once he has decided upon his course, he should go at whatever the task may be with a firm desire and intention of succeeding at it and then be prepared to stick to it until he has mastered the task. Too many young men believe that all they have to do is receive a college education in order to be a success. What a great mistake this is I Men succeed through their own ef- forts and not on account of having enjoyed an education. The opportunities are as great, if not greater, than ever before for the young man who is willing to start at the bot- tom, work, and work intelligently and faithfully and not want to begin where the older man, who has made a success, leaves off. I believe that if any young chap is possessed of the right determination, the future is as bright as it ever was. 3. cfc - Twenty-Five 4« AUGUSTA, GA. I feel deeply honored to be asked to write something which would be of interest to the young men graduating from Oglethorpe Univer- sity. I also feel very incompetent to at- tempt such a thing, but your inspiring state- ment, There are boys at Oglethorpe who have JLtSf the will to do, has helped me considerably. BTia m it seems to me that if I were going to — ' deliver an address to the young men who are about to graduate from Oglethorpe, and enter upon their chosen field of endeavor, I could wish for no finer text than this statement, The will to do. It is a theme that holds for me an irresistible appeal, for in my philosophy of life AMBITION is the cornerstone of success. A young man with an aggressive AMBITION is bound to succeed regardless of all draw backs. Indeed, it is my belief that AMBITION is a far greater asset than natural gifts. Many men of great natural gifts fail to apply their talent be- cause they haven ' t AMBITION, while others, far less capable, but possessed with that wonderful will to do have scaled the heights of success despite handicaps. It is not going too far to say that knowledge of natural ability often dulls ambition, while it is almost invariably true, a like appreciation of one ' s handicaps whets ambition to an edge which cuts through all obstacles. Of course, we sometimes see an almost ideal combination of natural talent and an unswerving ambition. Then you have a genius — but if one were forced to make a choice between the two — natural ability and AMBITION, you would see that the chance of suc- cess would be to the man with ambition. In every walk and phase of life handicaps actually de- lop latent ability. There are so many illustrations that I am only going to select one or two at random as they come to my mind. Take Lincoln — think of his handicaps — also obstacles thrown in his way. Take Roosevelt, with his lack of health in his formative period, and how he went about laying the foundation, which was his physical self, to help him toward his wonderful future success. Read any of your up to date magazines that have inspirational stories of our Captains of Industry and see how they had to fight to surmount the ob- stacles. They all had the will to do. I just happen to remember a case in football — if I mis- take not the name of the boy in question was Daley. He had the terrible physical handicap of being club-footed. He wanted to play football and was turned down at one college without even a trial — he entered another and fought up into the ranks of the stars in his game. Take our great national pastime. Just think of the suc- cess of men like Meadows (a pitcher who has gained quite a bit of success in the National league) and Torporcer, an in- fielder with St. Louis. These men have the physical handi- cap of poor vision — they even wear glasses on the playing field. Think of the AMBITION that must have driven them on to the point where they hold their own in one of the two best baseball leagues in the whole conntry. Then there is three-fingered Brown — minus his index, and a par£ of his pitching hand. Just think what a star he was. Now when you reflect over these men doesn ' t it seem a shame that a man with all of his faculties can ' t go out and make to success in any field which he might select? It should be remembered that AMBITION is more than a longing, or mere day dreaming — that burning desire must lead to the necessary action and sacrifice by which one ' s powers are developed. I speak of the vaulting AMBITION that over- laps itself, and patient determination that overcomes all obstacles, and makes of them stepping-stones to higher achievement. I wish an fill to do. For each prospective graduate of Oglethorpe, AMBITION that will inspire h im with that great Loo (?. s Twenty.Seven Appreciation The Senior class of 1925 wishes to take this opportimity to thank Messrs.

Entered in 1923 from Atlanta Theological Seminary. Thomas is a man who believes more in living his religion than in spending time in talking about it. It is a sad, but true fact that most preachers don ' t get along very well with college boys, when they have to live with them; therefore, all the more credit is due Aaron, whom everyone on the campus likes. Thomas believes that ed- ucation is one of the first steps toward Christianity, and when he gets out and starts preaching he expects to play a big part in the service of humanity. When at the Atlanta Theological Seminary he won the medal for the highest average in all studies for the year. He has rendered a great service to the students by the exam- ple he has set for them. ALFRED NEWTON ADAMS A.B. IX SCIENCE East Point, Ga. ' Rome not built in one day. Few men with a wife and family have the courage to change horses in the mid- dle of the stream, but Alfred decided that he wanted to be a doctor, so after hearing Doctor Gaertner describe Oglethorpe he made up his mind that this was the place for him to do his pre-med work. When someone was asked if he had any peculiari- ties, they said, Well, he is in the habit of emphasizing all of his jokes by pounding his hearers on the back. Possibly this makes them quicker to see the point. If Alfred wants something he believes in get- ting it no matter how long it takes him, whether it be a cat for biology or an A.B. Degree. Alfred has persistence, a pleasant ap- proach, and more than his share of cour- age. He will be a doctor some day, if the medical books aren ' t destroyed — if they were he would probably wait until some more were written — and with the qualities he has he will make good. JOHN WESLEY AGEE A.B. IN EDUCATIOX Cogdell, Ga. To wait like a ghost that is speechless, till some questioning voice dissolves the spell of its silence. Cross Country Team ' 24. For several days after fall registration, boys rooming on the third floor were afraid to be alone, they said that there was a ghost in their midst, a ghost that some- times followed them to classes and always to the dining room. One day Dr. Nick called on A gee, and he spoke. Possibly this quality of silence is just a form of economy with John, because when he was at the University of Wyoming he was prominent in debating and in the Play- ers Club of that school. His studies have been his principal interest at Oglethorpe, and he ranks near the top of his class. JOHN DAVID BAXTER .B.

A quart to him is no more than a pint to an ordinary man, for everybody is his friend. Friends may be expensive, but to J. D. what is worth hav- ing is worth paying for. Determination sticks out all over him; he has shown this quality by making his way through school, by working at night in the Southern Rail- road shops, and by his gruelling activity on the cross country team. He has one of the greatest gifts that man can have — a child-like simplicity, that makes everything from dogs to mules love him. J.

When- ever there is anything to be defended or at- tacked, he is always more than willing to lend his golden tongue. If there is a dis- cussion in session he is there. His activity in forensic work, which started at North Carolina, was continued at Oglethorpe, where he was one of the mainstays of the debating team. There is only one person on the campus who can convince Bish that he is wrong, her name is Mary. Bish work- ed his way through and graduated in three years. He is a hard worker and if he is once your friend he will always be. SAMUEL PRESTON BOOZER A.B. IX C05I11EI!( ' E Hogansville, Ga. ' The surest way to hit i is to take aim kneeling: Tea Hob. Sam ' s idea of a perfect world is an island — an island littered with fair women. He would like to be the only man there for several years, long enough to work up a harem of adoring young things. The dream would then be complete if he could have a few, a very few of his friends over, say I ' ve got a good looking girl I want you to meet; then snap his fingers and have blondes and brunettes, crawl to his feet. But, in spite of Sam ' s love for women he is always willing to do his part whether it be handing someone a muffin, taking a hand at bridge, or building a fence around the athletic field. Sam ' s good nature al- ways makes a place for him by the stove in winter and in the shade in summer. m 10 JACOB BENJAMAN BLACK A.B. IX COjniEIiCE Prosperity, S. C. It ' s an ill wind that blows no man good. Hoho Cluh. Windv believes in the above motto, and sees to it that there is a sufficient supply of wind to fan the fevered brows on the campus, and let the neighborhood know that J. B. is thereabouts. He is never a man to be left without a leg to stand on; if all else is taken, he still has his opinion. No one ever dislikes happy-go-lucky J. B. for all the heated arguments that they have with him. His favorite study is Marketing, but he does not expect to go into business unless necessity forces him to do so; his ambi- tion is to study pharmacy for two years after he leaves Oglethorpe. He hopes to own an up-to-date drug store some day — p ' raps Alumni might get their prescrip- tions there. MILLEDGE HENDRIX BROWER A.B. IN COMMENCE Atlanta, Ga. And my veil no mortal ever took up. Entered from Georgia Tec ' i in 11124. Milledge is taking his degree in the school of commerce, but if he ever decides to teach, there is a wonderful place open to him as assistant in the school of journalism. When the cocky young reporters finish their course, if they are sent to interview Assist- ant Instructor Brower to get the story of his life, they will come back in a few hours with a blank expression and blank paper. If Milledge failed to like teaching, he would make a wonderful train caller; the result would be the same, with a lot less fuss. Milled.ge has worked some during the summer in his father ' s candy, business, and expects to make things hum when he learns the business, and has a chance to apply some of the knowledge he has acquired at Oglethorpe. PEYTON SKIPWITH COLES Atlanta, Ga. The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. With Peyton it is the old story of the monuments; those who need them don ' t deserve them, and those who deserve them don ' t need them. He entered Oglethorpe from the Univer- sity School, and in spite of the handicap of impaired faculties of speech and hearing, graduated in three years and one summer school. He is not a genius, just like the rest of us, and he had to work like a dog to get through with this added amount of work. You might think Peyton would have had a hard time being one of the boys, but don ' t think so for a minute, if the baseball team had to go to Buford his care was al- ways forthcoming, and no one enjoyed the trip and game more than he. GIBSON KELLY CORNWELL I. SCIENCE DELTA CHI EPSILOX In science, read, by preference the newest works; in literature, the oldest. Pl.iyers Club ; Le CoDte Club. Gibson is one of the last of the old school of real he-men who formerly inhabited the campus; he is a co-ed hater — possibly his wide experience wth cats in the Biolo -y lab has caused this. It would be hard to say that he has specialized in any study, as hi has done more than the average student in Chemistry, Biology, and English. He spe- cialized in these first two sciences, but still had some unused time and with the help of A. H., wrote Set For Midnight. which was one of the three plays presented at the Atlanta Woman ' s Club last spring. Gibson doesn ' t say much and he doesn ' t smile much, but in some way manages to create a cheerful atmosphere about him. WENDELL WHIPPLE CROWE A.B. IX COIIJIERCE Wrightsville, Ga.

This seems to have been his first real interest in life for he has already done about twice as much work as the job called for.

Henry, according to his o ' ti statement is a man vithout a hobby, but we believe his hobby is to let others alone and be let alone. The only case where he breaks this precept is with his roommate Bull; to him he is a combination of father, confessor, adviser, and at times, nurse. Henry has the face of an angel and it seems almost a sacrilege for him to even smoke. His tem- per and temperature are the same under all conditions. He has put a lot of work on studies in the School of Commerce during his last year and seems to have gotten a lot out of them. He always has enough to say to make things pleasant and swears by Bull Durham. MILLER AUGUSTUS HAMRICK A.B. IX EUUCATIOX Cedartown, Ga.

Henry gets off some good ones and some poor ones, however, his greatest accomplishment in the line of hu- mor is a take-off of one of the members of the faculty.

On one run he reversed his field three times; but as soon as the Petrels neared the Mercer goal, they were stopped. Adrian was so exhausted he could hardly walk, only a few minutes were left to play, the ball ten yards from the Mercer goal, Maurer staggered toward the sidelines and put his head in his hands; he was called on the next play and with strength drawn from somewhere — not from his limp body — car- ried the ball over for the winning score.

FijUj-Two Senior Class History Life itself is, and always has been, a battle, and every battle must end in victory or defeat. Down deep in the strata of the earth, as well as upon its surface, we find the marks of the great conflicts that have always been waging. In measuring the ex- tent of our victory, the class of ' 25 is proud of the many individual and collective feats it has accomplished. Back in the dark ages of our Freshman year when we were enshrouded in a veil of ignorance, we managed to creep out and venture into the activities of our college. We were represented in football by Crowe, Porter, and Quarles; in baseball by Ferguson, Hope, Kemp, Porter, Martin and Partridge; in track by Crowe and Tucker; in basketlsall by Tucker, and in the Players Club by Morrow. In the spring of ' 22 J. D. Baxter won the cross-country run which added another laurel to our class. In the Sophomore year we returned to college with the determination to make the class of ' 25 the best class in the history of Oglethorpe. How many joyous re- miniscences, how many bright and glowing pictures of bygone days arose in their shadowy review before us, as we traced our steps through our Freshman days. But alas — we were full-fledged Sophs! In our Sophomore year we contributed two more men, Maurer and Hamrick, to the football team. This team of ' 22 was coached by Russell Stein, and was the first Petrel team to score on the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech which happened when Adrian Maurer ran 95 yards from the kick-off for a touchdown. Ferguson, Hope, Partridge, Kemp, Porter, and Willis were the baseball men of our Sophomore year; Porter represented us in boxing; Tucker and Orovitz in track; and Conklin, Hope, Mason, Morrow, and Tucker in the Players Club. Morrow, Conk- lin, and Mason played leads in the spring productions of the plays which were pre- sented at the Atlanta Theatre. In the pursuit of higher education we lost many valuable members in our Junior year. Scruggs, O ' Neal, Gordy, Martin, Jackson, L. Pfefferkorn, R. Pfefferkorn, Mc- Mekin and Misses Gore, Kellam, Foster, and Broughton entered the class of ' 24 by means of work done at summer school. In our Junior year we were represented in football by Crowe, Hamrick, Porter, Maurer and Quarles; in baseball by Ferguson, Hope, Maurer, Kemp, Partridge, Porter, and Willis; in boxing by Porter; in track by Tucker and Orovitz. The former won the pole vault and high jump at the state meet. To the Players Club we gave six members of the class, two of whom. Morrow and Conklin, took leading parts. We received into our class this year Bagwell, Coles, Cornwell, McCormack, Oro- vitz, Willis, Agee, Brower, McWhorter, and Mrs. West. Last and best of all-Senior year .... Tempus fugit. Soon we must cross the threshold and leave the best we got from college clays — our friends. Wendell Crowe, president of the Senior class, began to show his will and his determination to defend a principle in his Sophomore year by the stand he took on the ROW famous rat-court affair. Besides four years of football he was business manager of the Player ' s Club and as much in touch with student activities as any man on the campus. Fifty-Three We have taken our full part in college life this year as most of the leaders of the different activities have come from our class. Ross Kemp was captain of the baseball team; Dan Conklin, editor of the Petrel; John Ottley, editor of the Yama- craw; Paul Wilkes, president of the student body; Mitchell Bishop, president of the debating society, and Grace Mason, Mother of the co-eds. On the football team were Crowe, Hamrick, Maurer, Quarles, and Tucker; in the Players Club, Conklin, Crowe, Durham, Hope, Mason, Morrow, Ottley, Spears and Tucker. My Word, one of the spring plays presented at the Atlanta Theatre was written by John Ottley. Camp, Cornwell, Mason, McCormack, Ottley and Partridge are wearers of the coat-of-arms sweater, the highest scholastic honor which our Alma Mater can award. Camp, Conklin, Crowe, Hamrick, Mason, Maurer, McCormack, Ottley, Partridge, Porter, and Wilkes are members of honorary fraternities. To we Seniors it seems the beginning of a new era of bright skies, sunny days and the lovely promise of a rich harvest in after-times. June! Commencement! Farewell! — but we ' ll always remember: For four long years in union sweet. We ' ve often met, and kindly ever: Tomorrow — and again we ' ll meet And part again, but part forever Asunder torn, at random tossed. Some hopes preserved and many lost. for a hand aside to fling The veil that hides futurity; To shotv events that time will bring.

So in life ' s course should we e ' er meet. With those we loved when we were young. Whose features pictured kind and sweet. In memory ' s temple we liave hung. How would their face bring to view The scenes, the joyS ' that boyhood knew. —GRACE MASON, Historian. Fifty-Four Tke TkresKold For The Class of 1925 In this supremest hour, we stand at last Among that gallant company, for ivhom Life opens doors into a wider room. Before us passes statesman, dreamer, sage; The future is a challenge, and the past A glorious heritage. We may not daily do a mighty deed, But through the rich traditions we have brought, Out of these years; may hold, to meet our need, Daily, a mighty thought. There have been dreams along this sunrise way. Where youth has shared its raptures and its fears — Dreams we may shape anew each dawning day. Yet hold the colors of these sheltered years, That one more noble than the rest, may be At last, a wonderful reality. April and dawn are ours, and all the high And living messages those masters gave. Whose words were deathless, when their souls went by. To speak to us forever from the grave. Today we have the treasure of a past. More rich than any yester years could be In promise and in prophecy. We have known great companions; books and men, Whose fruitful inspiration shall outlast This path of youth we may not tread again. The datvn is ours, but shall come at last The noon, the tranquil starlight, and grave age. Nor shall all these be less than noble, with a past, That is a glorious heritage. — Mary Brent Whiteside.

Seventy-Two Junior Class History Since Confucius first gathered his disciples for the distribution of knowl- edge, it has been the ethics of a class historian not only to stress, but to break as many hyperboles as possible in the glorification of his fellows. He, it is who goes out to do battle for the rest. Probably some unknown Yen was the first to acclaim the greatness of other Yens, Chows, and Fus, so that posterity might know beyond doubt that his was the first class. The advantage rested with him, therefore, and later historians have labored under the handicap ever since, for Yen ' s lies were not lies, which is a paradox. But so be it. The class of eighty that spread over the campus in September, 1922, was not the greatest Freshman class in history, but it was as great as any in its determination to battle Sophomores. And its metamorphosis of three years has been pleasing to say the least. For by giving to the football team five men, including Parrish, the captain-elect for 1925, and to the baseball team three, it has proven an equal to its predecessors. In addition, the busi- ness manager and assistant editor of the Petrel were Juniors. The high point, however, was the debating team of 1923, the team composed of Orovitz, Bishop, and Pearlstine, all members of the class, which defeated Tech and Emory. Two of the trio are back and it seems probable a third will be chosen from the same class. Next to the aforementioned team, the success in Dramatics will be re- membered. Of the three Spring plays, two were written by class members, Seein God, by Gladys Hurtell, and Set For Midnight, by Harden and Cornwall, while the music for the third was done by Thelma Doyal. Five members took major parts in the productions. Notable also is the predominance of class members in the Petrel ' s Who ' s Who contest. In a list of thirty places the Junior class is first with eleven, a clear indication of popularity among the students. As the span draws nearer its end, we see more clearly many of those things for which Alma Mater stands. And if some of us have not gained as yet the sought-for ends, the Junior Class as a body may sing with the ballad- singer: ' but lie down and bleed a while. And then I ' ll rise and fight again. — James Larwood, Histor. Seventy-Three f:  1 ' . ..

My! There ' s such a lot we want to remember about our first two years at Ogle- thorpe. Can you think of anything finer than the fact that our Freshman Class, of ' 26 was the largest to enter Oglethorpe — and that 104 of the class returned as Sopho- mores. Not only the greatness in number of the class of ' 27 is notable, but its strength and ability represented in all college activities stands out. We can ' t go any further without a word of tribute to our president, Ed Miles. Not only the Sophomore Class, but the entire student body realizes his splendid ser- vice to Oglethorpe. Ed Miles has the outlook, both of the student and the man of the Church. One vice-president has served both years, and in Nutty Campbell, we have had one of the finest possible executives. In our Freshman year, Elizabeth Hope was Secretary and Treasurer, and in the Sophomore year Oliver Gramling filled the place. Both certainly proved their ability. Now for athletics and the honors that the Sophomore Class can claim. In foot- ball, letters were made by Hardin, Redfearn, Justus, Campbell, Cousins, Carroll and Slaton. Representatives in baseball were: Terrell, Buchanan, Cousins, Barbee, Campbell, Justus and Chestnutt. Four Sophomores made it possible for Oglethorpe to have a boy ' s basketball team this past year. Redfearn, Campbell, Slaton and Chestnutt, as captain, formed a team and played six games, three of which they won. The Sophomore Co-Eds were also represented in basketball by lone Thompson, Alter- nate Captain; Sarah Magill, Manager and Evelyn Mitchell, guard. Brannon and Hardin were Sophomore members of the Golf Club. Burton, Captain; Boone and Wright were representatives in track. In both the Sigma Lambda and Alpha Kappa Literary Societies, the sophomores were well represented. Two of that class made the boy ' s debating team, Ginn and Yates. The Petrel staff also included four sophomores, Ed Miles, Sport Editor; W. A. Shands, Exchange Editor; Sarah Magill, Society Editor and Thomas Moss, Circulation Manager. Barber, Semon, Gibson and Holloway played in the Oglethorpe orchestra, and in the Glee Club were Justus, Hardin, Campbell, Brown, Austin, McNeil and Howell. The Sophomore Class can claim sixteen members of the Players Club as well as two authors of the Spring Plays, Josephine Eichberg and Oliver Gramling.

The only point of similarity was our little gold and black caps which we were forced to buy at the earliest possible date. However, it took us but a few minutes to redeem the ignominy of our looks by our prowess as a class. The Sophomores bothered us but little, as we outnumbered them. You could usually find us mi.xed up in any excitement that was ever started — and we started some of it ourselves. Still we can say with pride that most of us have survived exams, and various other pitfalls that the Profs, have persisted in digging for us. At our first meeting as an organized class, we elected Lewis Moseley, President; H. I. Baby Spencer, Vice-President; Roy Hancock, Secretary and Treasurer. Shortly after, the Freshman girls were formally initiated. They gave a Sunday afternoon tea at Nancy Stribling ' s home for the Sophomore girls and the members of the Faculty. The Woman ' s Board decided that we Freshmen should become better acquainted; so after the football victory over Sewanee, we were honored by an informal dance at the Capital City Club, with four members of our class. Cathcart, Underwood, Martin and Christian, contributing their part in the Oglethorpe Orchestra. The Freshman Football team was a whiz, winning six out of eight games. Those receiving Jerseys were: Moseley, Spencer, Grimes, Carter, Garlington, Dekle, Wright, Wingo, Chastain, Guthrie, Watkins, Hutson, Brinson, King, Gordy, Boswell, White, Goldsmith and Gilreath. Evelyn Hollingsworth, Evelyn Grady and Mildred Hatcher represented the Freshmen on the Co-Ed varsity basketball team. By the eighth of November the class had begun to appreciate itself so much, that it was decided to do something no other class had ever attempted — to give a dance. Giving it after the Mercer game, we invited the Mercer football players, and upperclassmen. The experiment was a great success. We have won our share of attention from everyone. We also have obeyed the rules of the game and if the class continues as it has begun, there are wonderful prospects for the class of 1928. —MILDRED HATCHER, Historian.

Wofford Loyola 13 Sewanee Howard 7 St. Louis 18 Mercer Chattanooga 2 Total Ninety-One Football Out of a nightmare of possibly the weirdest season in the history of the pigskin sport, a session filled to overflow with upsets and surprises, Ogle- thorpe ' s scrappy band of gridders emerged dope champions of the world by comparative scores, and by actual combat, champions of the oldest Dixie or- ganization, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. True, Centre, also a member of the S.I. A. A. had accounted for a wonderful scoreboard, but the Colonels had met and defeated only one other member of the associa- tion, while the Stormy Petrels had backed up their claim to leadership honors by six decisive victories. The Oglethorpe ' 24 collegiate football accomplishments reads as a page from modernized Arabian Knights. There was her spectacular route of Mercer, dope laden to the extent of 29 points following the Bears ' triumph over the highly tooted Florida ' Gators, the Petrels ' inspired stand against the ferocious Sewanee Tigers, later winners over Vanderbilt, who just the week before had raised the Dixie flag above a conquered northern eleven. There were other victories that paved the way for Oglethorpe ' s just claim of S.I.A.A. leadership, otiier wins possibly just as important as those over Mercer and Sewanee, but the impregnable defense that the Petrels placed in the way of Bear and Tiger alike, the not-to-be-denied offense that cut to pieces desperate, fighting rival players at the same time, sent an ever loyal student body wild and wooly. To place one ' s finger on one, two or more heads and say There ' s where the credit lies for Oglethorpe ' s most successful grid force would be doing a grave injustice to others connected and associated with Oglethorpe ' s ' 24 foot- ball grid schedule. There was Coach Harry Robertson, succeeding his brother Big Jim at a time when dark iC ' clouds were hovering over the Petrel strong- hold, there was Captain Adrian Maurer, ad- mired for his ability on the gridiron and diamond, l ut loved by his fellow-students Ninetrj-Two because in that enviable make-up there was no trace of snobbishness or the least sign of the swagger of the great ' athlete. Then too, there was a line, a backfield and reserves that gave their all for the University and also a freshman team, a band of youngsters to whom no small part of the credit goes, for, afternoon after afternoon, hour after hour, they toiled, whipping into shape the varsity that was to carry so successfully the laurels of the Stormy Petrels. _ Last, far from least, was a loyal student body, a MX following that had backed the gridders, win or lose, in success and in failure. When the initial call for candidates for the Oglethorpe eleven was an- swered on September 1, eleven veterans failed to respond, graduation, busi- ness and marriage taking a great toll of the experienced players, but ten main- stays, many of them stars in ' 23 were in the list returning. Coaches Harry and Jim Robertson, with the opening game only a few weeks off, started to mould an eleven that was destined to sink into the sea of despondency at the start, but later, by truQ courage and dogged determination, to ascend to the very top of Mt. Everest. A relentless, terrific September sun bore down on die forty odd candidates from which the championship eleven was to be shaped, practices were held morning and corliss afternoon, six days out of the week. Injuries were many, the entire squad was bruised and battered by necessary long, hard scrimmages. Adrian Maurer suffered an infected foot just four days before the opening game. Clay Parrish was absent several days with a bad leg that would have kept the average gridder on the side lines in cits for the remainder of the year, otlier veterans were on the injured list, but the entire squad rallied bravely for The Tech Game — Sept. 27, at Grant Field A water-soaked, muddy field, one that brought back memories of Flander ' s Fields to many ex-service men in the large crowd that braved the wrath of the elements, greatly handicapped the Petrels as they battled with the formidable Jacket eleven. Counting upon their speed, their aerial at- tack, to overcome the weight handicap of the Tech players, the Petrels found themselves robbed by fate, disarmed by an over-night whim of the elements. But the little clan did Ninety-Three not falter, and when the first quarter had become his- tory, Oglethorpe and Tech were grappling evenly in a scoreless deadlock. A bad heave of the slippeiy pigskin, a 3-point boot after the Oglethorpe defense had repulsed three savage thrusts of Wycoff and Company, gave the Jackets a none too comfortable 5-point lead as the final quarter opened. With the ball in their possession in the very shadow of their own goal, the Oglethorpe eleven elected to gamble, to go down in defeat by a large score or as victors cross the final chalk marker at the Jacket goal line. Two iurward were heaved, both were completed, but as Tech players tackled the the slippery ball evaded their arms and Tech recovering, totaled 14 points, the final count of 19 to favoring the Jackets. Though the Petrels lost, it is interesting to note that the Jackets totaled only six first downs against the Petrel forwards during the regular 60-minutes of play. Fort Benning — Oct. 4, at Columbus History failed to repeat itself as the Petrels battled with the Officers, a 20 to final going to the Benning gridders, due to the efforts of two former All-American players, and the valuable addition of one AU-Soutliern veteran. The Stormy Petrels suffered their first defeat in gridiron competition with the Officers, all former meet- ings being chalked in the Ogletliorpe won column. receivers. The Citadel — Oct. 11, at Charleston Under the dismal cloud of defeat. Coach Robertson, without the aid of his brother who had, according to former plans, returned East, sent the Pet- rels through a hard week of practices, gave them several new plays and watched them as they ac- counted for their 10 to 7 victory over Citadel on foreign soil. A forty-yard drop kick from the toe of little Nutty Campbell being the margin of victory. WoFFORD — Oct. 17, at Anderson An offense that had failed to function, a line Ninety-Four that had not hit its true stride, found itself against the Terriers, the Petrel players totaling one of their largest scores of the season as they ran rough shod over tlieir rivals, hitting the line and speeding around the ends to a decisive 27 to victory. Captain Maurer found himself in this meeting, Kilgore commenced a drive that was to label him one of the greatest full backs in the South, and Alton Redfearn, one of the numerous reserves, also shared the limelight. Loyola — Oct. 25, at New Orleans Outweighed sixteen pounds to the man, facing over a ton of human bone and sinew, the Oglethorpe eleven divided honors evenly in a 13-13 tie with the Loyola Wolves, the meeting being one of the cleanest, most sportsmanlike battles ever witnessed. This game in New Orleans marked the opening of athletic relations between the two institutions, and never has a Dixie delegation been more royally entertained. The Wolves scored in the first and third quarters, due to the flashy work of Deuce Demengeux, while the Petrel counters all came in the second period as Maurer, Kilgore, and Redfearn, by straight football devoid of all frills, car- ried the oval down the field, Kilgore plunging across the final marker for Oglethorpe ' s initial score. On a beauti- ' ' ' ful 40-yard run, Redfearn side-stepped and stiff-armed his ' way through practically the entire Loyola defense for the final Petrel score. Both teams totaled one of the two attempts for the extra point after touchdown. Sewanee — Nov. 1, at Ponce de Leon An inspired band of Oglethorpe gridders, bloody and exliausted, out-fought and out-scored Sewanee ' s powerful Tiger eleven by a 7 to count, the Petrel win marking the first of its kind in the history of athletic competition betwen the two universities. Linton Cooper and Charles Corliss, two star linesmen, who were held out of the Loyola fracus by Coach Robertson, were returned to the fold and aided materially in the greatest victory of Oglethorpe ' s gridiron history. Ninety-Five The laurels of that battle go, not to a side- stepping, twisting, back, but to two lines that grappled through 60 minutes of play, neither asking nor receiving ground. Sewanee with her backfield of fast stepping stars, Oglethorpe with her illustrious Adrian Maurer, were unable to penetrate consistently each others defense, the winning score coming as the result of a 20-yard flip from Campbell to Carroll that placed the pigskin on the 8-yard line. Kilgore delivering the needed yardage a moment later through center JUSTUS Howard — Nov. 8, at Birmingham Though badly bruised in their sensational win over Sewanee, who later in the season triumphed over Vanderbilt, con- querors in an intersectional tilt with Minnesota, the Petrels won easily over Howard ' s gridders, the larger end of a 32 to 7 score coming to Coach Robertson ' s charges. St. Louis — Nov. 15, at St. Louis PERKF.USO.X jj jj g Petrel ' s first intersectional battle, St. Louis bested the Oglethorpe gridders by an 18 to 6 score. With the Mercer tilt coming the following week. Coach Robertson elected to save some of his stars as the game with the Bears, outside of the usual keen rivalry, also carried with it the championship of the S.LA.A. Bob Kilgore again tallied the Oglethorpe score, the Petrel ' s total coming in the first quarter, while St. Louis ' scores were divided equally in the remaining three periods. Mercer — Nov. 22, at Ponce de Leon A dope-laden Mercer eleven, confident in its strength shown one week earlier by a decisive 10 to victory over Florida, fell before the consistent, alert at- tack of a rejuvenated Oglethorpe attack, the 25 to final being one of the greatest dope upsets in the South- Ninety-Six land. Mercer, by her victory over the ' Gators, had gained the dope championship of the nation, only to lose this honor, together with the championship of the S.I. A. A., to the Stormy Petrel force. The Petrels showed their superiority in every de- partment, even the Bear ' s celebrated aerial attack being used to advantage by Oglethorpe linesmen and backs alike. Chattanooga — Nov. 27, at Chattanooga Oglethorpe closed her most successful venture on the gridiron with a big Turkey-Day celebration at the expense of the Chattanooga Moccasins, the ringing down of the curtain exercises coming to the Petrel camp by a 20 to 2 score. Adrian Maurer was injured in the first five minutes of play and was forced to retire. Without the aid of their captain and star, the Petrels floundered around a bit. Bob Kilgore rallying the oifense and leading the eleven to vic- tory after the Moccasins h ad led at the end of the first quarter 2 to 0. The Petrel ' s complete grid score card shows a total of six games won, three lost, and one tied. The Petrels quarles scored 140 points to the total damage done by rival elevens amounting to 86. In S.I. A. A. competition alone the Petrels won all six of their meetings, i totaling 121 points to a meager total of 16 for the com- bined efforts of their opponents. To close this inadequate history of Oglethorpe ' s most successful season on the gridiron without some meager words of praise for coach and player alike, would be doing a great injustice to those who so success- fully carried on Oglethorpe ' s fight for national recogni- tion. To Coach Harry Robertson, Petrel students and fans owe a great debt of gratitude. The ability of Coach V , Robertson was realized and appreciated from the start. MARTIN The Petrel mentor was not a hard taskmaker, possessing Ninety-Seven those qualities of leadership that have made him more than just a grid director, Robertson has become literally a pal to every man in the Petrel camp. Through his efforts an only fair calibre of material was turned into a cracker] ack eleven, one who ' s just claim to S.I.A.A. honors has been universally recognized. There were the backs, Maurer, Campbell, Kilgore, Hamrick and Redfearn to whom the word quit was unknown. Nix and Carroll were recognized as two of the best end men in southern football, Crowe and Cooper, both veteran tackles, were responniblc lo a large degree for Oglethorpe ' s ' 24 successes, and proved able mates to Hardin and Corliss, regular guards. Parrish, hefty center, together with Maurer and Kilgore, were picked by many sporting writers on the official S.I.A.A. composite line-up taken from all the team members of the association. The resei-ves often played more than the regulars, Justus, Cousins, Slay- ton, Perkerson, Young and Quarles giving their all and often playing on even terms with the varsity. The Oglethorpe ' 24 football session is now history — but a more sensational, a more satisfactory season could hardly be recorded. ... ;i K Ninetij.Eight Provided ' ihe old sporting adage the freshman team of today is the varsity of tomorrow holds good at the Petrel camp, then Oglethorpe is assured of having another formidable eleven when the baby gridders make their squalls evident next September on Hermance Field. The rat combination, under the direction of Coach Chestnutt, accounted for a very successful grid program, totalling seven wins out of nine meetings with some of the leading prep and college forces of the state. The younger Petrels didived two meetings with the University for Boys ' eleven, and drop- ped to G.M.C. by a narrow 7 to count. With these two defeats marking the only reverses on their final scoreboard, the rats trampled Monroe, G.M.A., Norman Park, Locust Grove, and such leaders as Sheppard, Anderson, Spencer, Garlington, Guthrie, and Gilreath took turn about adding yardage through yawning holes opened by Chastain, Moseley, and Gold- smith. Ninety-Nine Uncrowned Kings The man who kicks the field goal That wins the hard-fought game, He kicks his way to glory. The thousands cheer his name. But what about the center Who passes him the ball? He makes or breaks the kicker, but He isn ' t cheered at all. The back who crashes through the line, For ten or maybe more. And makes the final touchdown That proves the winning score. He ' s hailed the college hero Amidst a wild hurray — But what of guard or tackle Who opened up the way? Oh, football has its heroes. Some of the gifted toe. And others who can smash a line And strike the winning blow. But as in every game on earth. Including that of life, Its greatest heroes often pass Unnoticed through the strife.

Additional honors will come to those that bear the name of the Stormy Petrels on the athletic fields, other championships will follow, and Oglethorpe become an even more feared foe, but the joy of that initial Dixie victory, the happiness of player and student alike as Tech, Georgia, Alabama, and other leaders fell before the skill of Coach Anderson ' s charges will never be forgotten. The Petrels had, in former years, shown their strength on the diamond, had defeated the Tech Jackets, had tied the Georgia Bulldogs, and drubbed the Mercer Bears, all leaders in the hot weather pastime. But to the team of ' 24, led by Captain Pug Bryant, goes the laurels of the most successful endeavor of a Petrel force. Only two defeats were chalked against the Oglethorpe ball tossers out of twenty- two games, Dartmouth ' s Big Green dividing equally, a two game series with the ever fighting Petrels, and the Georgia Bulldog ' s defeat of the Stormy Petrels, in the first of a two-game series by the narrow margin of a 7 to 6 final, marking the only re- verse handed the Oglethorpe nine by a southern team. Though the Georgia colle- gians triumphed over the Petrels in their initial meeting, their historic chapel bell failed to toll out a Bulldog victory the following night, this usually gay college town being silent as the Petrels handed the Bulldogs an 8 to 1 drubbing, one of the most decisive defeats handed the Red and Black representatives during their 24 season. The Stormy Petrels opened their collegiate season with Dartmouth ' s formidable force, a nine that, up to that time, had laid waste to the Southland, and though it was not realized at the time, the Petrel ' s 7-6 win was a good omen, a victory that gave the confidence that was to carry them to the Dixie championship. The opening game with Dartmouth was probably the most sensational diamond get-to-gether ever witnessed on Hermance Field, the Petrels breaking a knotted count in their section of the eleventh inning when Clay Parrish, after being hit in the head by a pitched ball, crossed the counting marker when Dave Barbee tripled to deep center. Other victories followed in quick succession after the Big Green nine had evened the count in the second meeting, Furman crumbled before an attack that threatened to drive them back to their South Carolina haunts, Birmingham Southern and South Carolina fared little better, and on a week ' s invasion five games were won out of an equal number played, Wofford, Furman and Clemson dropping before Coach Anderson ' s hitting and fielding stars. The annual pilgrimage to the kennel of the Georgia Bulldog left the Oglethorpe stronghold practically vacant, and though the Petrels divided honors with the Bull- dogs, a satisfied student body returned to the campus ready for Alabama ' s powerful nine. came to Atlanta with a formidable force, one whose claim to the cham- pionship of the South rang true. Against the Stormy Petrels the Crimson Tide re- ceded in its hope for southern leadership, while the Petrels soared higher towards the peak of the Dixie championship by two well-earned, hard-fought victories over the visitors. One Hundred and Four In two games in Macon that caused brave men to tremble, the Petrels defeated their ancient rivals, the Mercer Bears, and with further honors returned to Atlanta ready for their pair of battles with Tech. Refusing to be shaken from their perch at the peak of the Dixie championship, the Stormy Petrels closed a brilliant season with two equally brilliant victories over the Jackets. The Petrels out-fielded and out-hit the Jackets and accounted for, along with the Dixie championship, leadership of the S. I. A. A., also Oglethorpe ' s first city collegiate championship. Fourteen players received the coveted 0 for their efforts on the diamond, fourteen men starred during a season filled with thrills and excitement. Willis pitched his mates to seven wins without a single loss being chalked against his record. Humphrey lost only one meeting out of nine starts, poor fielding on the part of the Petrel infield being responsible for this one demerit. Barbee and Morris each won two games in the box without a single reverse, Ferguson also showing his worth by adding another win in his sole attempt. Peace, after a great season in ' 23 failed to find himself and dropped the other; battle. The real calibre of the Petrel nine will be understood when it is noted that three Oglethorpe stars are slated to show their wares in the Big Tent. Herbert Bryant is slated for the Pittsburgh Nationals, Thomas Porter for the St. Louis Americans and Leonard Willis will also report to Pittsburgh. Big league scouts followed the Petrel diamond athletes through many battles and there is a strong possibility that other members of the championship ' 24 Oglethorpe nine will be stepping around in the Big Tent. Future Big Leaguers Golf Oglethorpe has tasted of leadership in football and baseball competi- tion and may also have the golf crown of Dixie in time. The Golf Club, founded on November 28, aims at a widening of the circle of athletic possibilities at the University. A school tournament has already been approved, from which a team will be selected that will possibly enter several of the intercollegiate meets scheduled for the spring and summer.

Founded in the spring of 1925, the University is rich in the mellow traditions and customs that go so far to temper the life of a college. One Hundyed and Sixty-Fii Our faculty speaks for itself (on all occasions), as our President so aptly put it, keepolotov eu opovouvta un opovelv dokelj — ain ' t they the berries. Living in perfect accord with each other and with their students, they make our college a place of brotherhood and love. As for our students — ah, yes, how much a part of our very being they be — not too much can be said (safely I, as one of our prominent faculty members so aptly put it, Sultorum plena sunt omnia.

The buildings of Old Applesauce, which is often squeezed down to Cider, as a loving nickname, is built of fine Buckhead Soapstone of very superior quality, and is well ventilated, in fact very well ventilated. We are very proud of our buildings, and hope some day to get another one? And there are our co-eds, who bring beauty and laughter to our campus — ah, yes, how they have taken their place in the very heart of our College, and become the very fabric in the fundamental foundations of our University? As one of our seniors so aptly put it, e vous aime, cherie, baisez-moi. — They are such an in- spiration and incentive to us. We could point, but it is impolite to point, and the Applesauce boys are notorious for their politeness, with justifiable pride in our football and baseball teams, in fact we might say that we have, for the price, the best teams in thisi sec- tion (of the county). We almost won our baseball game last year; the score was 98-0 in their favor when the game was called for darkness; the coach said that this wasn ' t bad, in view of the fact that we hadn ' t had our turn at bat.

Dr Routh in his glory. Dr. Routh: (Reading paper with no name on it ) This paper lacks unity and coherence. It shows a weak vocabulary, poor spelling and punctuation. The grammar is also bad and he uses many vulgarisms. (holding up paper) Whose paper is this? ' And then the still, small voice. The clock and its mad race for or against time. The night that Carlos was locked in Lupton Hall In his own words: It happened some time ago that I went to the third floor of Lupton Hall looking for a suitable place to do a special work. I did it, and when I finished, I turned out the light. Absolute darkness was surrounding me as I began to walk carefully toward the door. A chair was right in the way and I stumbled against it. Then I stretched forth my hands m an for l-mj to grasp something and avoid falling. I grasped the door and I did not V P; fall, but I locked the door. I must tell now that the lock of that door is slightly freakish Some- times, according to its humor, it does not work well. And that night it was angry in the highest degree. I try to open it, using all methods, from per- suasion to roughness, but I could not. The night was rather cold. It was about ten thirty. I looked for a comfortable place to sleep, but the only furniture that I found there were desks, chairs and a blackboard. The prospect of spending the night was not good enough to make me dance with joy. So I overcame my desire ot keeping in secret my unfortunate adventure, and I shouted for somebody to help me. Most of the boys were sleeping, so I was obliged to keep shout- ing more time that it might be convenient for my throat. At last 1 was heard and an expedition formed to proceed to my rescue. They were suc- cessful and I could realize better than ever the comfortableness ot my bed. The day that Mrs. Libby forgot to come to a class and the freshman who naively said in an English paper, This is something that rarely happens so it was enjoyed by all. About five minutes before chapel when students begin to file in and in- terrupt the Economics class. Minus and his history. The Biology class got their hooks on the tiny pup and operated. Everyone thought that Minus would die, and it didn t seem to make any particular difference; but he lived and got. food anywhere he could find it. One night in the barracks Minus started howling, and Baby Spencer got up to throw him out. There was a fire and Minus had One Hundred and Sixty-Nine served to warn the inmates. His place was made, Soon Plus, the black and tan counterpart of Minus came to the campus, and because of the great service that Minus had rendered, Plus was adopted as a playmate for the scarred but loved Minus. How Dr. Routh looked the morning after he put kerosene on the fire, and it blazed up and singed his eyebrows and eyelashes. Football practice in the hot dusty mornings and afternoons of September, with the little ring around the rosy stunt for the backfield men. The time that Bully Boy went to sleep on Dr. Jacobs shoulder com- ing back from Anderson, S. C. The Saturday that some boy borrowed a flock of geese and locked them in Dr. Jacobs office and the Monday morning when the office was opened. The Bonfire on the night before the Mercer game of ' 24, and the mild celebration on the Saturday afternoon and night afterwards. Those walks up and down Peachtree road on spring nights when every- thing from girls to evolution were discussed. A boiler which was a target for rocks until there was so much racket that Colonel West couldn ' t sleep and rolled it down on the athletic field, and the next night the boys rolled it back up the hill, left it by Lupton Hall, and again disturbed the Colonel ' s slumbers with the resonant sound of rock on hollow steel. The kind, efforts of members of the Chemistry class to stop psychology by putting ammonia in the room. The Christy Mathewson baseball games that arrived just on the eve of examinations and almost broke up the usual last minute cramming. In the spring of ' 24 when the orchestra, by special arrangement, played a group of Hawaiian airs at a baseball game and the two teams thinking that it was the Alma Mater stopped the game and stood at attention with their caps off.

If it were not for the many years of optical service rendered by us, such statements would not be made. Ask any of our patients how they are pleased with our pains-taking service, also ask any of our better oculists what they think of the Ballard optical service.
