Then place no carven stone To watch my eternal bed, I long to lie alone When I am dead. When I have had my day Of mortal loves and care, The rose from my decay May blossom there. Then I shall give the sod Return for life ' s pale star — A rose is closer God Than angels are [Editor ' s Note — This poem, written by Mr. Hurtsock, is strangely prophetic of the author ' s sudden untimely death] EKNEST HARTSOCK May 5, 1903 ■ Dedication A modern poet sings of one who cannot die, for loveliness Is an eternal thing. So shall the two friends of Oglethorpe Univer- sity, to whom this issue of the Yamacraw is grate- fully and affectionately dedicated, Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton of Chattanooga, survive the centuries because of the beauty which they have created and have bestowed upon future generations to be their inheritance forever. Because of these two beloved and honored friends, an Institution of learning, built upon the lofty ideals of the great leader who founded the Commonwealth of Georgia, is enabled to extend its sphere of usefulness, and to look forward to a fu- ture of increased service and achievement. So always shall the achievements of Oglethorpe ' s mcst illustrious alumni embody something of the great vision that abides in these two revered and beneficient friends, from whom the Lupton School of Liberal Arts derives its name. ■ Foreword Throughout all ages there has been some one person or group of persons who, possesced of a greater spirit of initiative than the rest, has gone ahead to hew out the path which his followers must take. On these valient ones, who have given un- stintedly of their all, we have bestowed the name of pioneers. Nowhere among the annals of this University can there be found the name of any two persons who have so typified the pioneer spirit as Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton, to whom this book is dedicated. Through their unselfishness Oglethorpe was given its start. Having this idea ever before us, we have chosen this theme of pioneers and have used the various pioneers to be found in American history as motifs for the division pages. Table of Contents I.

THE PRAYER OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Father of Wisdom, Master of the Schools of Men, of Thine all-knowledge grant me this my Prayer; that I MAY BE wise IN THEE. SiNK THOU MY FOUNDATIONS DOWN DEEP INTO THY BOSOM UNTIL THEY REST UPON THE VAST ROCK OF THY COUNSEL. LiFT THOU MY WALLS INTO THE CLEAR EMPYREAN OF THY TRUTH. CoVER ME WITH THE WINGS THAT SHADOW FROM ALL HARM. LAY MY THRESHOLD IN HONOR AND MY LINTELS IN LOVE. SET ThOU MY FLOORS IN THE CEMENT OF UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIP AND MAY MY WINDOWS BE TRANSPARENT WITH HONESTY. LEAD THOU UN- TO ME, Lord God, those whom Thou hast appointed to BE MY CHILDREN, AND WHEN THEY SHALL COME WHO WOULD LEARN OF ME THE WISDOM OF THE YEARS, LET THE CRIMSON OF MY WINDOWS GLOW WITH THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. LET THEM SEE, O MY LOED, HiM WHOM THOU HAST SHOWN ME; LET THEM HEAR HiM WHOSE VOICE HAS WHISPERED TO ME AND LET THEM REACH OUT THEIR HANDS AND TOUCH HiM Who HAS GENTLY LED ME UNTO THIS GOOD DAY. ROCK-RIB- BED MAY I STAND FOR ThY TrUTH. LeT THE STORMS OF EVIL BEAT ABOUT ME IN VAIN. MAY I SAFELY SHELTER THOSE WHO COME UNTO ME FROM THE WINDS O? ERROR. LET THE LIGHTNING THAT LIES IN THE CLOUD OF IGNORANCE BREAK UPON MY HEAD IN DESPAIR. MAY THE YOUNG AND THE PURE AND THE CLEAN-HEARTED PUT THEIR TRUST SECURELY IN ME NOR MAY ANY THAT EVER COME TO MY HALLS FOR GUIDANCE BE SENT ASTRAY. LET THE BLUE ASHLARS OF MY BREAST THRILL TO THE HAPPY SONGS OF THE TRUE-HEARTED AND MAY THE VERY HEART OF MY CAMPUS SHOUT FOR JOY AS IT FEELS THE TREAD OF THOSE WHO MARCH FOR GOD. ALL THIS I PrAY Thee; and yet this more: That there may be no stain UPON MY stones, forever.

Apparatus and material: 182 boys and girls registered at Oglethorpe University, Georgia, September 1927. Method and observation: Some 182 freshmen were put into solution. The actions and reactions of this human mass of chemical composition are recorded under (a), (b), (c), and (d). (a) A meeting of the class was held after breaking away from the superior soph- omores, temporarily. They quietly and sanely elected Clifford Pryor leader; Charles Tatum, Vice-President; Curley Fulton, Secretary and Claude Herrin, Treasurer. They began working vigorously, first with the traditional Freshman Minstrel and the Coed Tea. Then came football, baseball, basketball, the names: Al Church, Cur- ley Fulton, Kid Golden, Charlie McKissick, Clifford Pryor and Charles Tatum gave promise to be bright objects in the future. (b) The second year was quite active. The molecules were less in number, some had been precipitated out by the faculty and other agents. Glenn Bridges was elected leader; Robert Beasley, Vice-President; Claude Herrin, Secretary and Treasurer. The class contributed splendid material to the field of athletics. Herrin, Fulton, Riddle, Therrell, Holcombe, Kimbrell, Golden, Rabon, Church, Adams, Woodward, Brooks, Everett, and many others. The names of many of the class appeared on the rolls of the Glee Club, Petrel Fol- lies, Players Club and Orchestra. At this early age the importance of the class was beginning to be realized in that the names of Turk, McKissick, Bridges were found on the LeConte; Murray, Daven- port, Turk and Golden on the Alchemist rolls. On the Petrel staffs Hedges and Wood. The first women to be admitted to the debate council, Boardman and Murray. (cj Noted action continued in the third year of the experiment. The leader for this year was John Turk; Curley Fulton, Vice-President; Helen Boardman, Secretary and Treasurer. In athletics, football, Fulton, McKissick, Herrin, Woodward, Kratz, Golden, Adams; basketball, Herrin, Golden; baseball, Kimbrell, Holcombe, Rabon, Adams, Herrin; track, McKissick and Woodward; coed basketball, Murray, Boardman, Frost and Wyle. Gertrude Murray was the first coed to be elected Coed Mother in her Junior year. (d) The last part of this experiment which is nearing completion was started by electing John Turk, leader; Gertrude Murray, Vice-President; Allen Ritz, Secretary and Treasurer. The class has been filtered down to 37. Although a group small in number every particle is active. Charlie McKissick, captained the Stormy Petrels of 1930 to many victories. Herrin captained the baseball. This class is most distinguished in having Helen Boardman the first coed to edit the Yamacraw and the first coed editor of the South; Zaidee Ivey, the first coed to be valedictorian; D. H. Overton, head of intramural athletics, Paul Bacon, President of the Student Body and Salutatorian; Gertrude Murray, Coed Mother; Allan Ritz, Pres- ident of the Student Faculty Council; Elizabeth Merritt, President of the Coed Faculty Council; Claude Herrin, a three letter man. OG Zaidee Ivey, wearer of the Coat-of-Arms sweater, and John Turk are members of Phi Kappa Delta honorary scholastic fraternity. IVIembers of the class who held positions as instructors are: Helen Boardman, Harry Last, Thelma Brogdon, Charles McKissick, Martha Jean Osborne, Margaret Vardeman, Zelan Wills, Gertrude Murray, Frank Davenport and Willie Woodall. Wearers of the O : Harold Adams, Al Church, Curley Fulton, Ernest Golden, Claude Herrin, Charles McKissick and Hoke Bell. Wearers of the O. U. are: Ruth Frost, Helen Boardman, Gertrude Murray. On the LeConte Roll this year Frank Davenport, President; Turk, Harry Last, Ze- lan Wills. Discussion and conclusion: The class of ' 31 contains many priceless properties in its members whom this experiment proved have worked honestly, courageously, and conscientiously for their class in college. Active from the beginning, it was noticed that the action increased steadily as time went on. Although the class was a most successful experiment, only the high points have been recorded. It unquestionably proved the class of ' 31 to be a well balanced equation, bringing credit and honor to themselves, their class, faculty, and their Alma Mater. lORPE J u u nj o f AW w Ji-u OGLETHORPE J History of the Junior Glass By Eugenia Patterson From 98 in 1929-30 to 49 in 1930-31 is, no doubt, another result of the well-known depression. At any rate, this is tne number to which the class of 1932 has shrunk. But of those who remain, we have many who have been outstanding during the whole of the history of this class. Ever since Freshman days, Parker Bryant, newly-elected captain of the Stormy Petrels of 1931, Dapper Myers, alternate captain, Frank Anderson, Jr., Chick Gard- ner, Paul Goldsmith and Lefty Sypert, have been shining on the gridiron. In Baseball, thanks to no efforts of its own, the class of 1932 has lasting distinction, for wherever the prowess of Luke Appling, Crackers 1930, White Sox 1931, is known every member of this class will remember that he once represented us on our 5 ' s, 9 ' s, and ll ' s, Oglethorpe ' s three major sports. But the class of ' 32 still has representation on the Petrel nine in Charlie Mitchell, first-string pitcher, Frank Anderson, Jr., regular second-baseman, Lefty Sypert, the Birds ' only southpaw, and Parker Bryant, who holds down first base. Due to a change in the plan of intercollegiate athletics at Oglethorpe, the usual season of basket ball was replaced by a series of inter-fraternity contests. But here again the class of ' 32 had its place in the limelight, with John Hallman and JeiT McMillan being selected by the officials for the all-star team. Among the co-eds, Mar- garet Vardaman, Christine Bost, and Eugenia Patterson were judged worthy of a place on the Co-ed five. Betty Crandall and Ben Simpson appeared in the first Players Club production of the season, The Coming of Peg, and both are now helping to make the Petrel Follies of 1931 the usual hit. Other Juniors appearing in the Follies are Jane Kops, Betty Greaves, Edith Marshall, Marie Shaw, who assists Ben Simpson as manager, and Eugenia Patterson. On the Debate Council we have Reavis O ' Neal and William Higgins. The members of the Junior Class who have been pledged to Phi Kappa Delta are Mary Williamson, Marie Shaw, and Eugenia Patterson. In the recent Who ' s Who contest held on the campus, Betty Crandall was elected the most popular girl, and Mary Williamson, the most intellectual girl. Jeff McMillan is the leader of Oglethorpe ' s orchestra; other Juniors thus musically inclined are Ollie Nail, and Charlie Bourne. Reavis O ' Neal, Park Brinson, and Kendall Jordan have been honored by election to Blue Key, Honorary Activity Fraternity. Other honors besides these have come to the members of this, our class of 1932, all of which we will try to deserve during our last year at Oglethorpe, and in going away we hope to leave our beloved Alma Mater a littls better for our having been a part of her, for we will take away with us the association and influences of her indomitable spirit. tOGLE THORI FRANK ANDERSON, JR. , Decatur, Ga.

Directly, the record of the Sophomore class begins with the opening of the Fall term, in September, nineteen hundred and thirty. It was then the class of ' 33 reassembled at Oglethorpe as Sophomores to continue upon their journey, the main object in view to exemplify the Oglethorpe spirit in obtaining still higher honors, better ideals and having a degree at the point of des- tination to end our college career at Oglethorpe. Beginning the first day from then on, the freshmen were not hazed in any form whatsoever. This bestows two honors upon us, the first being, the last class to receive unneces- sary hazing during their freshman year at Oglethorpe, and the second being the first Sophomore class not to apply unnecessary hazing to freshmen, all of which we are proud to have bestowed upon us. We are also proud to have the following to represent us in ditferent branches of ac- tivities of the school. Nammie Raines, our beloved president, was selected by the student body as being the most talented student at Oglethorpe University. Howard Martin and Jimmie Stringer were selected Beau Brummels from a large group of well dressed men. Last but not least, the Sophomore Class is proud of Robert L. Jones, who is editor-in-chief of the school paper. The Stormy Petrel. In various fields of athletics we have the following representatives. In football we have Walker, Kenzie, Patrick, Putno, Raines, Gaillard, Baker and Morrow to make the O Club. In baseball the following have distinguished themselves: Riggins, Salmon, Baker, Walker, Moore, Whitley, Blackwell, Evans and Craven. We are also fortunate in have Pop Freedman acquire the position of Athletic Manager for Football, Basket- ball and Track. All in all the Class of ' 33 performed greatly as Sophomores and we are determined to surpass all other classes in attaining better achievements and exemplifying Ogle- thorpe spirit as we continue our journey to reach the top of the ladder.

What a welcomed event that Freshman dance was. For the first time since Registration Day all students srathered in the gym for introductions to their school- mates. How happy we were to become part of the college circle instead of lonesome left-out freshmen. At an organization meeting we elected Phil Hildreth. President; Alfonso Goforth, Vice-president; and Sara Sharpe, Secretary and Treasurer. This class of ' 34 held the top places in three fields. First, in scholarship, we led the other classes with the average of 80.9, and Mildred Nance with an average of 97.5 surpassed all other student marks. On the honor roll, 20 out of the 32 members were freshmen. The second field was the gridiron. Not enough praise can be given our boys. Those who have received numerals are: Hardy, Heriot, Johnston, Wren, Jo- hansen, Hildreth, Goforth, Shouse, Bolden, Young, Curran, Aderhold, Flynt, Welch, Mitchell, George, Barrow, Moss, Pickard and Harrison. These boys worked hard in games and in practice and their striving was not in vain for — our team was UN- DEFEATED! Coach Robertson is anticipating great things from these new candi- dates of the Varsity. The above athletes should also be commended for their work during the year in the dining hall. Not all honors could go to the boys, for the three high-point co-eds in the Intramural sports are of the 1934 class. They, too will wear school sweaters. In the third field, student activities, we contributed to the Petrel Follies, the Glee Club, the orchestra, and the debating teams. Dan Duke and Charles Parris brought us more distinction with their work as co-editors of the Stormi Petrel. We have won our share of respect from everyone, and have always played the game according to rule. We only hope that in the next three years to come we will live up to the standard set in 1930-31. Math Prof by Robert Leseur Jones, ' 33 His bald head waggles like a marionette ' s While he erupts symbolic meteorites; His vast umbrageous iiguring begets A nauseous admiration from his neophytes, Who sit in silent, sympathetic glee And hear his discordant numbers ctash like g Hear him derive a lunar apogee; See him imagine molecules for grass. If figures never lie, he ' s atheist, And marshals wierd enigmas for his proof. Impeccable as ice, lucent as mist, — So goes this fusty Pan on cloven hoof. And when he dies, he ' ll ride a geometric rail Straight to the sacred heaven ' s Holy Grail. £.S -V ,eE Footbal McKISSACK Captain September first brought with it prospects of the most successful crusades in the his- tory of the Peachtree Road school. Seventy- five stalwart footba ll men reported to Coach Harry Robertson and hard work was begun to prepare for the list of hard foes as they would come during the season. Despite the set-back in the opening game with the University of Georgia, it looked like the Petrels would turn in a good account of themselves before the season came to a close. But this world isn ' t composed of nothing but beds of roses. Bad luck sometimes visits the camps of the best clubs and so it did with the Petrels at the half way mark. And so after winning four games in a row, the Petrels were made to feel the thorn in the side thrust there by Mr. Jinx. Traveling to the Bull Dog camp at Athens the Petrels faced a revengeful foe in the Uni- ANDERSON versity of Georgia. They were out for blood because of the 13-7 defeat at the hands of the Birdmen in 1929. Slashing, ripping, passing and running around ends the Bull Dogs ran up a 30-0 score in the first half. Bewildered and half dead the birdmen looked on. But after a pep talk during the half the Birds came back in the second half and held the Bull Dogs scoreless and Ray Walker carried the pig- skin across for six points and then kicked the extra point. At this point of the game all the efforts seemed futile to defeat the Red and Black Warriors and so with the final whistle the Birdmen accepted a 30-7 defeat. They were ready to forget and start after the rest to come. In the second game the Birdmen killed two birds with one stone. They inaugurated the BRYANT MYERS ' ' AM ' mMfi mim h WALKER night game under the bright arc lights in New York City. The game was played in the Polo Grounds. At the end of the sixty minutes of play the Petrels had turned in a 19-0 victory and Ray Walker proved the most outstanding man on the field. He acquired for himself a new nick name, Dixie. He ran, passed and kicked the ball around the field so that it bewildered the Manhattan players. The whole team functioned like clock work, clicking off five, ten or fifteen yards at will. The play of the forward wall was some- thing to remember. They blocked and slashed the Manhattan forwards throwing the ball carrier for losses at will. Under punts they always had the ball carrier cov- ered for only small gains. In the third start the Petrels faced the KENZIE Dayton Flyers who in 1929 helped so nobly to dedicate the Petrel stadium with a 20-12 defeat. Like the second game this too was played under the moon, stars and artificial light. Like a cyclone out of the south the Petrels swept down upon the Flyers, ripping, slash- ing and tossing them aside for sixty min- utes and when the storm subsided the Petrels were on top 6-0. At three different times during the game the Bird backs car- ried the ball over for markers but twice they were called back and penalized. But constant playing kept them on top and at no time dur- ing the game was their goal stripe in danger. Until removed from the game with an in- jured arm Dixie Walker assisted by Dapper Myers were the two m.ain worries the Flyers had. Others who stared were Bryant, Mor- row, Kenzie and Goldsmith. BAKER FULTON WOODWARD Starting the fourth game as the under- dogs and playing on foreign soil at the home of the Wolf Pack of Loyola of the South the Petrels began working. Fighting harder than usual to offset the revengeful attitude of the Wolf Pack it wasn ' t long before the Birds had the ball nesting in the Pack Den over the line. Main- taining this fighting spirit the Petrels pushed the ball over the Host ' s line twice more. On the defense the Peachtree Road lads fought just as hard. Moore, Lopez and the rest of the Wolf Pack found going harder than usual and were finally forced to accept defeat to the tune of 19-0. Dapper Myers was the outstanding per- foimer in this contest. He scored twice, and made possible by his brilliant blocking and interfering, many other profitable gains. In MORROW the line Kenzie received wild appraise from the stands for a brilliant performance as tackle. He was assisted by Bryant, Fulton, Goldsmith and Captain McKissack. During the weeks practice that followed at the Petrel Camp, Dapper Myers received a broken foot and was removed from the team roster for the remainder of the season. This was the first real streak of bad luck the club tasted so far. But it wasn ' t for long for John Putno, who replaced Myers in the next game received the same kind of an in- jury thus eliminating him from competition until next year. From this date Mr. Jinx accompanied the Birdmen until the end of the year. Furman ' s Purple Hurricane invaded the Petrel camp for the initial home game at Hermance Stadium. Just back from Florida with a Gator scalp KRATZ GOLDSMITH hanging on the belt the Hurricane began work to bag another victory. But the Pet- rels, known to weather the strongest of winds, rode the gale until it gradually weak- ened to a mere breeze. It was a hard game with the backs run- ning ends, hitting the line and passing for only sm.all gains. Until Sam Baker grabbed hold of the famous submarine pass from An- derson and trekked eighteen yards and over the goal line. Not to be outdone, the Hurricane came back and shot a bullet-like pass to a back who had slipped through the secondary de- fense, had the ball and was away for six points. Late in the third quarter Putno, who re- placed Myers, slipped through the weak side of the line for a second marker making the score 12-6. The fourth quarter was an even fight waged in the center of the gridiron. GAILLARD Outstanding performers of the game were Bryant, Putno, Baker, Sypert, Kenzie, Gold- smith and Morrow. Furm.an had several outstanding perfor- mers but all their efforts were in vain when they attempted to crash the Gold and Black forward wall. Taking to the road again the Petrels trav- eled to the Quaker City to face the Main Liners of Villanova. The game was played in the Philadelphia Municipal Stadium. On the fourth play of the game the Main Liners received a break that decided the game. Dropping an end back to kick out of danger on a muddy field they were unable to do so when he fumbled. But picking the ball up and running, he skirted the end and was away behind a wall of interference that made it impossible for a tackier to get through. So before the game was five min- WHALEY PATRICK JAMES utes old the score was 6-0 Villanova. Fighting desperately to score the Petrels did so in the latter part of the game. But in the fourth quarter the Main Liners pushed the ball over for a second score and the game ended 12-6 Villanova. The Petrels next journeyed to Springfield, Ohio, where they faced the Wittenburg eleven in the Homecoming event of the year. Playing hard but just unable to go any- place when they got within the five yard ter- ritory, the Petrels had to be satisfied with a 0-0 game and so the home club was glad for the old timers did not have to see the colors trampled in the dirt. Four or five times the Birds were within the five yard stripe, but the stubborn defense of the Ohioians would not yield to a score. The entire first half of the game was played in their territory but to no avail. THERREL In the closing minutes of the game the Birdmen were lucky when Sypert caught the ball carrier from behind after all the other tacklers had let him sift through. Facing an old rival in the Bears of Mercer, the Oglethorpe jinx, Waldon and Matt, Mer- cer backs began work and in the opening minutes of the game had the ball on the Pet- rel goal line. The Birds stemmed the rush and for the remainder of the half the game was waged in mid field. In the third quarter it looked like Ogle- thorpe would score when Gaillard made a gain of forty yards, being forced out of bounds on the one yard line. With a chance to score but overly anxious, Gaillard fumbled and lost the ball. The Birdmen were unable to come within striking distance again. Fighting hard to regain what they had GOLDEN ADAMS f - COFFEE lost in the third quarter the Birdmen began passing but to no avail. Everywhere there seemed to be too many Mercer Bears. A blocked kick in the latter part of the fourth period cost the Petrels a ball game by the score of 2-0. Outstanding performers for the Birdmen were Goldsmith. He figured in every play, always reaching out grabbing legs. He was assisted by Kenzie who played the best game of the season. Morrow and Bryant both turned in a good game. In the backfield Gaillard, Anderson and Raines played good games. Thanksgiving day found the Birdmen in Chattanooga to do battle with the Moccasins Oi the University of Chattanooga with four victories, one tie and three defeats on their books. JONES Opening the game with a rush, only to be stopped by a penalty, the turning point of the game, the Petrels had an uphill fight on their hands. During the second quarter the Moccasin backs ran at will, scoring two touchdowns. Trail, the fleet back, gave a wonderful ac- count of himself to close his career as a col- lege football player, scoring two of his team ' s three markers. The Petrels ' score did not come until late in the fourth period, when Anderson flipped a long pass down the field to Bryant, who was just crossing the goal line. Myers, the fighting little Petrel fullback who was removed from the team roster earlier in the season with a broken foot, was put into the game and at that point the team spirit picked up, but it was too late for the Moccasins had a twelve point lead and the Moccasins went home to a turkey dinner thankful for many things, mainly a victory over Oglethorpe, a long time rival. Thus the curtain rolled down on another Petrel football setting with the Petrels just over the half way margin. RAINWATER GARDNER ,,« « .■ CHURCH .GRAW 9 COACH ROBERTSON Harry Robertson has held the coaching reins of the Stormy Petrels since 1923 when he replaced his brother, Jim Robertson, Dartmouth star and All-American halfback. It was a great break for Oglethorpe for in Robby they have one of the best all around football coaches in the south. He has turned out good teams with the material avail- able, and somehow, managed to pull through the season with a larger percentage of victories than losses. Robby is a product of Syracuse under the tutelage of Chick Meehan. He played the pivot position for two years 1917-19 and the end position in 1920. He was named on the coaches All-American team as end in 1920. Before coming south he was line coach at Syracuse under Meehan during the 1921-22 seasons. OGLETHORPE T J- VAM JACK OVERTON Director Intramural Sports HOKE BELL Freshman Coach j KENNETH CAMPBELL Assistant Coach u CAPTAIN HERRIN Claude Herrin, elected to lead the Stormy Petrels through the 1930 campaign, was forced to hang his football togs on the hook for the season when he was injured in pre-season training. He spent three weeks in the hospital at Winder, Ga. Unable to return to the squad he called it a year. Coach Harry Robertson will have the services of the flashy quarterback during the 1931 season and is expecting the tow-headed lad to have his greatest year of college football.

Not one minus sign of defeat was marked up against them for the entire season of fcot- ball. Outstanding players of the club are : Bolden, Shouse, George. 4 FRANK ANDERSON ' The Daddy of Baseball at Oglethorpe i n i nuKm J € t Despite the loss of four of the hardest hitters from the 1930 Oglethorpe baseball team which won seventeen straight games, the old master, Frank Anderson, put out a club which made a very creditable showing for itself during the 1931 season. Only three veterans were back from last year. They were: Captain Claude Herrin, infielder; Whaley, catcher; Mitchell, pitcher; and Ernest Golden, reserve outfielder on the last year ' s squad, who was elected alternate captain. Goldin was kept out of the regular lineup last year only by an outfield trio that was far above the average so far as college baseball goes. Frank Anderson, Jr., reserve second baseman last spring, played a good year at the keystone and gave every indication that before he finishes his college career he will have seized a fair portion of the fame that his brother, Marion, who was one of the best second basemen that ever played with the Petrel Club. The pitching staff composed of Mitchell, Walker, Carter, Evans, Black- well, and Sypert stepped on the firing line and proved themselves more than capable of meeting the competition offered them by the tough sched- ule placed before them. Jack Moore, second baseman on the Baby Petrel outfit of 1930, proved a most consistent hitter and his bat helped the Petrel cause no little. In the opening game with the Georgia Bulldogs played at Hermance Sta- dium, the Petrels came from behind twice to outscore the Bulldogs with thirteen base hits and twelve runs. The final score being 12-9. Parker Bryant was the hero of the day with three bingles, which included a three base hit to the far corners of Hermance Field. Oglethorpe defeated Georgia in the second game of the series and tied with Auburn for top place in the Dixie Collegiate League, each having won two games. Ray Walker, tho ' far from invulnerable, maintained excellent poise throughout the entire game. Even when under the most severe fire, he remained cool and controlled. The Petrel club suffered a two game defeat at the hands of the Auburn Tigers when the two undefeated teams met on Hermance Field. However, the Petrel luck seemed to have taken a change for the better when the Oglethorpe Club handed the Plainsmen a 8-3 defeat on the first return game. The next game, however, with a 12-0 score was won by the Tigers to give them the lead with a line of three out of four games tucked away in their pocket. The opening game with Mercer gave every prospect of being a taut game but in the fourth inning it dropped a stitch, unravelled, and then went to all sorts of loose ends as the Bears took the game with a 12-2 score. However, whatever was lacking on the opening game came back in full sway for the second game when the Birdmen took a revengeful victory of 11-3. The hitting, which had been lacking during the season, was re- vealed in great fashion with the Petrels securing 17 hits, including nve doubles. Sypert came thru in fine style and proved to those who had been doubtful of his ability, his merit as a left-hander when the Petrels won the third game with a 4-1 score. The fourth game of the series was called on account of rain. In the series of games with the Florid a ' Gators the Petrels emerged with three victories; the games being marked by the stellar playing of Herrin and Mitchell. The Yellow Jackets took the scalp of the Petrel club to the tune of a 8-7 victory in the opening game at the Rose Bowl Field. In the second game which saw a better brand of ball played by both teams and which revealed none of the usual collegiate baseball erratics, the Oglethorpe Petrels won with a 6-4 score to even up the series at one all ; Parker Bryant made a very good display of his ability with a triple which aided considerably in the achievement of the victory. With a bunting attack that left the Jackets sick, the Petrels won the third game of the series with a 8-5 score. The year ' s schedule which is one of the toughest that the Birdmen have had to face is as follows : April 16-17 Georgia at Hermance Field April 10-11; Auburn at Hermance Field April 17-18; Auburn at Auburn April 22-23; Mercer at Hei-mance Field April 24-25; Florida at Hermance Field May 1-2; Mercer at Macon May 4-5; Florida at Gainesville, Florida May 8-9 ; Tech at Hermance Field May 11-12; Georgia at Athens • Intramural Athletics • ©asHetbaU Oglethorpe University did not participate in Inter-collegiate basketball ccmpstition during the season of 1930-31 although they had prospects xor the best court team in the history of the school. The Athletic Governing Board, headed by Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, pres- ident of the school, decided that the students of Oglethorpe were not reap- ing any benefits from the athletic department due to the fact that only a limited number of the students derived benefit under this plan. They de- cided on Intramural sports because under this plan approximately three fourths of the student body received instructions in physical education. Heretofore a certain group of athletes participated in all the sports at the university while the rest who were not adapted in football, basketball or baseball, received no instruction in physical education at all. So in an effort for them to participate, intramural basketball was introduced and the program proved very successful. Now approximately three fourths of the students are taking part in the basketball, indoor baseball, basket- ball, free throw, tennis, golf, track and many other sports. Football and baseball programs will be sponsored as in the past for both freshmen and varsity. With such men like Putno, Herrin, Moore, Walker, Whitley, Mitchell, Golden and Hallman to represent the Gold and Black on the court it was a blow to the students and coaches to see what pointed to be the best season on the court go to the wind. But as intramural sports would benefit the majority, the board figured that the best plan. Whether Oglethorpe will take part in intercollegiate basketball next year remains with the Athletic Board. n. Girls Intramural Basketball Tournament Led by Ruth Jack Frost, the Fighting Ramblers, composed of the non- sorority girls of the campus copped the girls ' intramural basketball tour- nament in the campus gym. They had very little competition and were never threatened at any time during the course of the tourney. In the opening game they defeated the Beta Phi Alphas to the tune of 17-4. While not the leading scorer. Miss Frost was the most outstanding player on the court. Josephine Garmon was high point getter in the opening game, counting four times from the floor. Gladys Bridges was the outstanding performer for the opponents. Miss Frost being unable to play in the second game. Little Joe Garmon led the Ramblers to a brilliant victory of 20-8. She scored sixteen of her team ' s twenty points. Lee Bennett was the only member of the Kappa Delta team to score. She counted with four double deckers. In the third game the Ramblers sent the Chi Omega girls to the turkish baths suffering under a 13-3 defeat. This gave the Rablers the undisputed claim of championship and the cup. Miss Garman led the field of leading scorers by a margin of one point. She totaled twelve double deckers for a total of twenty-four points. Second place was held by Miss Louise Bodie, C. 0. and Francis Smith, B. P. A., both with a total of twenty-three points. Third place was taken by Gladys Bridges, B. P. A., with a total of seventeen points. flT llj VAMACRAW Boys Intramural Basketball Tournament Winning five consecutive victories, the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity won the first Annual Intramural Baslvetball Tournament sponsored by the Ath- letic Department of Oglethorpe Univer_sity. The tournament was held in the university gym with approximately fifty to seventy-five men not competing in varsity or freshman basketball taking part. The tournament was held in order that those not out for the athletic teams of the university would receive some instructions in ath- letics by trained instructors. Each fraternity placed a team in the tournament. The non-fraternity men of the campus banded together and a team was picked from the can- didates. Second honors were captured by the Alpha Lambda Tau Fraternity. They only dropped one game that being to the tournament winners. Third place was held by the All-Am.ericans composed of the non-fraternity men of the campus. The Delta Sig aggregation v as composed of a group of sharp shooters. They turned in a total of 167 points for the five games. Four members of the team placed in the high score out of five places. MacMillan led with 42 points. Calhoun and Moss of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity were tied for sec- ond place with 40 points. Hood totaled 39 points while Mitchell totaled 38 points. The cup won two consecutive years by the Alpha Lambda Tau Fraternity in the Inter-fraternity Council tournament was presented to the Delta Sig- ma Phi Fraternity. And thus all is quiet on the basketball frontier until the coming of the next season. .

OGLE THORPW mMACRAW History of the Go-Eds The last decade has witnessed woman gradually taking a more important place in the political, business, and educational life of the world. In approximately that same amount of time the co-eds of Oglethorpe have entered in full swing into the prominence of responsible posts and campus activities. The year 1917 (?) found an ambitious young woman, Martha Shover, applying for the position of secretary to Dr. Jacobs, and also desiring to take a few courses in the University. She was given the position and admitted to classes as Oglethorpe ' s first co-ed. The following year, she was joined by her sister Elise. Eight or ten co-eds voluntarily enrolled in the University during the next two years. By this time it was noted by the faculty that the presence of these young women made the boys more careful in their general appearance and behavior. So the President gave the Eclicitors directions to be on the lookout for prospective women students. The num- ber of co-eds has steadily increased, there now being approximately 90 in the Univer- sity and 200, mostly public school teachers, in the Extension School. From the very beginning the co-eds entered into campus activities with enthusiastic interest and sought to attain the highest degree of scholarship, meriting membership in Phi Delta Kappa honorary society, and the right to be a wearer of the coat-of-arms. As we examine early editions of the Yamacraw we see co-eds holding positions as class officers, student council members, staff members, participants in the Player ' s Club, and student assistants in various academic departments. Later editions reveal the organizing of a girl ' s basketball team and three local social clubs; Zeta Tau, Sigma Alpha, and Phi Kappa Eta, now respectively Kappa Delta, Chi Omega, and Beta Phi Alpha, national fraternities. It was 14 years ago that the first co-ed entered Oglethorpe. Today a co-ed holds a po- sition, and that a prominent one, in every important phase of campus life. For the first time in the history of the school a girl is editor-in-chief of the Yamacraw. She is assisted by a staff ' of as many girls as boys. Several girls also hold responsible posts on the Petrel staff. The first girl ' s intercollegiate debating team was organized by the influence of the two co-eds who were admitted to the debating council last year. By the installation of a system of intramural athletics, the co-eds were given an equal opportunity for physical education. Back in the days when that first lone co-ed entered Oglethorpe, who dreampt that in less than fifteen years the number of co-eds would increase to such an extent as to necessitate a co-ed mother ? This has become necessary and the position is ably filled by a co-ed, Gertrude Murray. So we feel that it is not with too much braggadocia that we quote the words of Bernard de Vota, The Co-eds: God bless them. l l _ ' OGLETHORPE _ ' MAr.RAUJ Oglethorpe University Band Jeff MacMillan Band Master - ORPE Under the direction of Jeff MacMillan, the orchestra has furnished many enjoyable programs of music for the assembly hours and for such student productions as the Petrel Follies.
