Edited By Sara Sharpe Thornwell Jacobs, Jr. 1934 Y A M A G R A 0f ©gktl|arp Pittiiersttg IN MEMORIAM We of the Yamacraw, and of the student body, dedicate this page to an erstwhile friend and fellow student, jack hanson, of Augusta. We hope in this way to show appre- ciation OF A FRIENDSHIP THAT WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER. Editor ' s Note , in years to come ivhen you leaf through the pages of this book, it recalls pleasant memories of your fellow students and campus days, then ive who have worked for you will feel that we have accomplished our purpose. s Olaiupits bmiitbtrcitton The President s Message What should be said to the graduating class of a modern American college that would be worth remem- bering in years to come? First : Remember you are starting life all over again. If you have made mistakes and blunders, forget them. A new world lies before you. How ample the marsh and the sea and the sky. Second : If you have made good use of your oppor- tunities at college, you must know by now that nothing really matters except the quality of your own thoughts and feelings and deeds. All of your future life will be an expression of your character. Es ist der geist der sich den koerper baut. Third : Remember that the more excellent the goal that you set for your endeavors the more certain it is that you will never arrive at it. A search is the thing he has taught you For height and for depth and for wideness. Fourth : Remember that in proportion as you rigidly perform your duty, you will create enemies on the outside and in proportion as you do not rigidly perform your duty, you will create enemies on the inside. The former may harass you, but the latter will destroy you.

I may not to the world disclose, This memory I hold so rare, Nor tell them of my many woes. And pains, and worry and career. Who has not saved some simple thing. More precious than jewels rare, A faded picture, a broken ring. Or a lock of golden hair? Is there a heart that does not keep, Within its hidden core. Some fond remembrance driven deep. Of the days that come no more? BuELL G. Grant What Happened in 33 34 By Merkiman Smith THE inauguration of Freshman Week on the Oglethorpe campus started the activ- ities of the year rocking along early in the fall quarter. The school entertained the rats as they had never been entertained before . . . Bon fires . . . parades ... an alfresco tea . . . and the highlight of Freshman Week, the picnic at the lake . . . Jose- phine Lippold and Bob Kuppers were chosen Mr. and Miss Freshman during the pic- nic and water carnival. Football got under way and the Petrels brought warmth to the heart of the entire campus by completely upsetting and defeating the Jaspers of Manhattan in New York City. The season ended, however, with a defeat at the hands of Mercer. And then things began to happen . . . Coach Robertson resigned . . . President Jacobs an- nounced a complete revolution of the dining room system . . . and before the campus could realize it, exams bore down upon the students. Then came the holidays. The holidays were anxious ones. Many were in a hurry to return to test the new dining room system and when school did re-open, the dining room resembled something like a combination of the Waldorf-Astoria and the Ritz- Carlton. The co-eds flocked to the dining room as never before. A la carte became the password and it was not long before Pat Kilpatrick and his horn blowers were providing fine music during lunch each day and the student body had Dinah between the cocktail and the main course and Doin ' The Uptown Lowdown between the salad and the desert. The change of the dining room was undoubtedly the outstanding event of 1934. A lot of pretty snow came drifting down during the early part of February and held up spring training for a while. Spring training, by the way, was conducted under the excellent supervision of Coach Frank Anderson, John Patrick and Andy Morrow. Then a pretty good bit of rain and then spring! Spring came with a flourish. Baseball started. The soul of socked horsehide eminated from Hermance Field every afternoon. Exams came and were survived by some. As the YAMACRAW rumbles over the presses, the baseball season will start in earnest. The sororities will be planning big dances and there will be a good bit of activity to anticipate. A series of Commencement Dances looms up when we consult the calendar for May. The seniors are beginning to worry about the finals. And the YAMACRAW rumbles on. All during the school year of ' 34, intramural athletics ran along their most de- sirable course. As this is written, the most exciting tournament to date was the boys basketball tourney and the superb play of the Alpha Lambda Tau team, lead by the lanky Ed Copeland, as it swept through the tournament undefeated, but severely con- tested. The feeble tapping of this typewriter ceases as we recall . . . sorority houses in- stead of rooms during ' 34 . . . fraternity houses, also . . . the Chi O ' s upsetting the dope and winning the girls baslcetball crown . . . introduction of a course in Chinese . . . the many new co-op boys . . . Sterling Lanier, grandson of Sidney Lanier, as a professor, singing master and orchestra leader ... a successful Glee Club . . . the debaters from Mercer and Freshman Perry ' s fine oratory. The typewriter stops and the chronicles of the year ends. To the photographers of El- liott ' s Studios ive dedicate this page for their fine work on the pictures of this book.

A.B. in Education Senior Glass History WE, THE class of ' 34, look back over our four enjoyable years with a tinge of re- luctance knowing that time and experiences never return. Under the guidance of Phil Hildreth, as president of the class, no end of accom- plishments have been achieved. In the final year Freshman Week was inaugurated, and the Petrel Dining Hall with its dance orchestra will create lingering memories as the finale of our college life. Phil Hildreth, four times president of his class, brings out the fact that one true leader will join with the citizens of our country. Hildreth also leaves with no end of football and basketball laurels to his credit. His stellar backfield ability recalls the Manhattan victory of 6-0 in ' 34, when the Petrels travelled all the way to New York to bring back glory to their Alma Mater. Mildred Eaves, who holds the highest scholastic average in the University, leaves with the honor of having been co-ed mother for two years. Mildred, accompanied by Nellie Jane Gaertner, Lloyd Davis, and Gilbert Wood, has the honor of having the Oglethorpe coat-of-arms. Four years ago with our class as freshmen, Intra-mural athletics began replacing inter-collegiate basketball. Equal opportunity in athletics made stars in the class such as Eddie Anderson, who holds the cross country record of two miles in eleven minutes, and then we look up to our classmate Happy Vance, who has the honor of being an All- American catcher in baseball. Then there are the football heroes. Bob Thurmond was captain this year, with Eddie Anderson, Emory Chandler, Jack Harrison, Phil Hildreth, Rudy Shouse, and Harry Wren, all members of the varsity, each with spec- tacular plays to his credit. Now the finale of our four years ' accomplishments as literati, this Yamacraw is appearing through the efforts of Sara Sharpe, Sidney Flynt, and Thornwell Jacobs, Jr., for your pleasure and amusement, and to add to your collection of high school an- nuals. Sid Flynt, president of the student body, and editor of the Petrel, we remember brought literary honor home when he went to Athens to the Press convention and aid- ed in getting the Petrel accepted in the Georgia Collegiate Press association. With the leadership of these outstanding senior journalists, the Yamacraw was reincarnated after being dead for a year. Leading in the social realm of the senior class were Mary and Florence Bryan who, we recall, made their debut last fall. Having attained dignity, culture, and refinement, according to Lloyd Davis, Bob Thurmond, and Ruth Lewis, the officers assisting Hildreth, this band of classmates is prepared to be graduated. Though we hate to leave Oglethorpe, we are proud to know that upon our graduation, all that stands between us and the top of the ladder — is the ladder.

Its roster included the names of students who were outstanding in their particular field of activity. In football, the names of Frieman, Pickard, Farmer, Byers, and Shaw, were prom- inent, and they stood out as some of the better players on the Stormy Petrel ' s grid squad. Baseball claimed no less number, and foremost among them was Carl Anthony, who besides being an efficient member of Coach Anderson ' s team, was elected president of the Sophomore Class. Bill Borman won his spurs in football, and did the same in baseball under Coach Frank ' s tutelage. Ed Copeland landed the position of reserve pitcher for the Petrels, and admirably assisted Lefty Dixon on the mound. In the Intramurals we find the names of some co-eds who won their letters in this field. Billie Happoldt and Kathleen Wright rated as among the best girl athletes on the campus, and were two of the twenty high point girls last year. Their forte is basketball, and it ' s a real treat to see these two girls make spectacular shots, and de- vise new ways to outwit their opponents on the mapel floor. The Players Club, dramatic organization, had as its president this past year, Paul Carpenter, Jr., one of our Sophomores. This club did splendid work and pro- duced Dark Eyes, a one-act comedy which met with the approval of its audiewce. Paul also directed the Round Town Players in their first production, Arms and the Man, which was well-acted and beautifully presented. The Le Conte Club, honorary scientific organization on the campus, listed two of our classmates as probable members. Robert Stephenson and Jimmie Richardson so distinguished themselves in the field of science that they were asked to join this group. So it is with pardonable pride that I point to us, the Sophomores of 1933-34, as one of the most versatile and representative groups ever assembled together, and with one glance at the above descriptions of just some of us, it is plain to see why I say we are Wise Fools.

It was the birthday of Radio Station WJTL, the Radio Division of Oglethorpe University. Early in the spring of 1931 Oglethorpe received the permission of the Federal Ra- dio Commission to erect and operate a radio station. The generosity of Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas Lupton, donors of Lupton Hall, made possible the installation of one of the most completely equipped regional channel stations in America, whose call letters were formed from the initials of our gracious friends. At first the entire station was located in Lupton Hall, on the campus of the Uni- versity. The entire Biology Department was moved from Lupton Hall to Lowry Hall to make room for the new Radio Division. Two large studios were constructed and elaborately equipped and a small room was turned into a transmitting and control room. Thus on June 6, with the beginning of regular lectures, Oglethorpe University be- came the possessor of the first standard Radio College in the history of the world. There have been many educational programs presented over many broadcasting sta- tions, but never before, so far as we have been able to learn, in the history of this or any other country, has a complete college course been broadcast by a complete fac- ulty in the same manner as when offered on the campus. The equipment of WJTL is of the latest type available. The transmitter is an RCA 100-W, employing direct crystal control and 100 per cent modulation. RCA mic- rophones and amplifiers are used in the studios. In addition, a new RCA frequency monitor has recently been purchased to enable the station to comply with the new gov- ernment regulations concerning frequency deviation and frequency checking. After a few months of operation in Lupton Hall, officials of the University decided that greater Atlanta could be better served by moving the transmitter nearer the cen- ter of the city. Accordingly, therefore, the Yaarab Shrine Mosque, one of the most beautiful buildings in the South, was picked as the new site for the transmitter. At the same time it was decided to erect a new type of antenna which would also add to the efficiency of the station. This new antenna, which is a seven ton, 135 foot, base- insulated steel tower, is the first quarter-wave vertical radiator in the world. It rep- resents an achievement resulting from years of study and research directed toward the production of a system giving maximum radiation of the power supplied to it. Engineers have pronounced it the ultimate in antenna construction. The tower was erected atop the Mosque and directly under it a transmitting room and a small studio were built. The large studios Et Oglehorpe were retained, having been connected with the new transmitter location by special telephone lines. About the middle of November the work was completed and one Sunday afternoon WJTL broadcast her first program from the Yaarab Shrine Mosque. Reports soon showed that the expectations of the officials were justified. A glance at a day ' s schedule will give seme idea of the scope of the work carried on by the Radio Division. Each morning the station is opened with a devotional program from 6:45 to 7:00. This is followed by an hour of variety musical programs. At eight o ' clock Dr. H. J. Gaertner lectures on beginners ' German. A lecture is of fifty minutes duration and is followed by a ten minute recess, during which music is offer- ed. At nine o ' clock Dr. James E. Routh lectures on English, Idioms and Good Usage. A lecture on an Introduction to Economics is presented by Dr. D. Witherspoon Dodge at ten o ' clock, and at eleven Dr. James E. Routh lectures on Types of literature. Prof. Francisco Perez offers a course in beginners ' Spanish at twelve o ' clock. Luncheon hour lasts from twelve-fifty until two o ' clock. During this time a varied musical pro- gram is presented over the station. At two o ' clock Dr. D. Witherspoon Dodge resumes the educational program with a lecture on Contemporary Civilization. At three o ' clock a lecture is given on Business Problems. At four Dr. D. Witherspoon Dodg ' e returns to the air to lecture on an Introduction to Philosophy. At five o ' clock Dr. Mark Bur- rows concludes the day ' s educational activity with a lecture on the Biography of Mu- sicians, magnificently illustrated with recordings of their respective works. From five-fifty until twelve, midnight, various commercial and sustaining programs are pre- sented. With the beginning of the 1932-33 year Oglethorpe University instituted a com- plete four year course in radio broadcasting. Every phase of radio work, including the commercial, managerial and technical aspects, is taught, together with courses in announcing, studio direction and program formulation. Completion of the required four year course entitles a student to a degree of Bachelor of Arts in the School of Radio Broadcasting. Oglethorpe thus became the first standard university in the world to offer a full four year course in radio learning to an accredited college degree. The regular faculty of the new radio college is headed by Dr. James E. Routh as dean, The regular faculty of the new radio college is headed by Dr. James E. Routh as dean and others of the Oglethorpe faculty, as follows: Dr. John A. Aldrich, physics; Dean J. F. Sellers, chemistry; Dr. Mark Burrows, music; Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, history of the earth and its inhabitants; Professor Porohovshikov, Professor Perez and Professor Pattelli, modern languages; Dr. Gaertner, psychology; Dr. D. Witherspoon Dodge, radio ethics; Professor Vernon Anderson, studio management and radio theory; Pro- fessor Frank Parkins, radio technique; and professor Albert Ril3y, radio code. The personnel of radio station WJTL has been drawn from every branch of the radio industry and from the student body of the university. The staff is as follows: Edward Hughes, general manager; Frank Parkins, chief engineer; Vernon Anderson, assistant chief engineer; Paul Goldman, program director; Albert Riley, Robert Adams, and Frank Whitmore, technical en- gineers; Roger Skelton and Luther Nuc- kolls, control operators and announcers. Because the activities of the Radio Di- vision are not confined solely to the edu- cational field, its history would not be com- plete without some mention of its enter- tainment facilities. WJTL has furnished the radio public some of the foremost mu- sical talent of the South. The Oglethorpe orchestra, under the director of Professor Sterling Lanier, Nathan Zwick, and David Lashner became the WJTL studio orchestra and endeared itself to all who listen. The Glee Club has been a favorite with the radio audience. Oglethorpe athletic events have been and will be broadcast. Sunday devotional programs and Church services of St. Luke ' s Episcopal Church are regular features. Closely linked with its educational work, are the dramatic features presented by WJTL. Sponsored by the Oglethorpe Players Club, a series of plays were broad- cast and received favorable response. A class in radio drama was begun and pro- duced some plays of notable quality. This phase of work is largely under the direction of Dr. James E. Routh. The pibneer work begun by the students under his direction and guidance will be continued and enlarged upon. It is rapidly becoming one of the most important features of the Radio Division. The introduction of the Radio Division to Oglethorpe University also opened up many new opportunities to members of the student body who wished to Work for a part of their college expenses. A large number of these students are employed by WJTL. The studio orchestra is made up entirely of students, and several regular members of the staff of entertainers were drawn from the student body. A large part of the personnel of WJTL is composed of students. Some who had the required characteristics were trained as announcers and those with technical train- ing were employed as engineers. As entertainers, Oglethorpe students have proved highly versatile and some artists of real merit have been found. F T L I c tl|lctir5 The regular fac and others of tl J. F.

F T B A L L COACH HARRY ROBERTSON Head Football Coach Alternate Captain Harry Wrens Captain Robin Thurmond GRADUATION, mile stones passed, starting on a new life journey, courses run, speeches, commencement. But as the 1934 Yamacraw becomes an assured thing through process of change, let us pause and reflect a little on the Stormy Petrel gridmen that posted the 1933 ac- count on the football records at Oglethorpe. Suffering from the heavy hand of Ole Man Graduation for the past June Chief accountant Harry Robei-tson called his 33 ' model Petrels to report for practice on September 1st. Some sixty men answered the call. At the first appearance Coach Harry began to make new plans for no-draft ventilating, knee action and streamlining his new creation. Something that would be able to stand the rough road of the coming season. Many of the models of the season before were on hand to help the new members and to give advice on the testing ground. For the initial week Hermance Stadium became a place of groans, moans, and creaking chasses but with the trainers lubricating the new machines be- gan to show some of their old form, so by the middle of the second week all were called to the track to give a performance. This proved an afternoon of good hard scrimmage. The watchful eyes of Chief engineer Robertson dilated with hopeful anticipation. Some ten of this year ' s seniors answered that call and donned the costume for their Swan Song act. Those that were issued uniforms Pickard Chandler Shaw McNeely Mitric!; Anderson Clark Farmer for the last time were Captain Bob Thurmond, Reed Craven, Phil Hil- dreth, Rudy Shouse, Harry Wrens, Jack Harrison and Sid Flynt. An- derson was the only quarterback in the crowd and Julian Herriot the only guard. All of these saw plenty of seryice during the season and most of them carved a niche for themselves in the Oglethorpe football hall of f?me. With but tw ' enty one days to get his men in shape for the first game Harry Robertson had his hands full. The future was a hope for a fair season with a group of foes that had not been equalled before in the history of the school. Heretofore the Petrels have been called the giant killers because of their upsetting of Georgia, Georgia Tech, and many Eastern schools that had impressive teams. Could the little Birds do the same thing this season, was the thoughts that passed through the mind of Chief Robby, as he gazed at the names of Auburn, Ala- bama, Manhattan, and Mercer, which appeared on the schedule card. From the middle of the second weak scrimmages came every day, fast and furious. The days slipped by, five days, ten, and then the day of the first game. What would the Petrels do with the strong team that w?s coming from Newberry College. The papers carried head- lines, front page stories and on September 21st, the Oglethorpe Petrels opened the local college football season at night with the fighting war- riors from South Carolina. Robison Darracott Craven Freeman - r.. If l i ' II 1933-34 Football Team and Coaches The opening whistle sounded and the Stormy Birds had started their season. Fro mthe beginning the game wts in favor of the Robby men. When the final whistle blew they had won their first game with an overwhelming score of 25 to 0. The paper predicted a successful season for the gridmen from the Peachtree Road Institution. Things looked bright, the players were full of hope and determination. In the first fracas Harry Wrens, Phil Hildreth, Bob Thurmond, Jack Harrison, Rudy Shouse, Reed Craven and Eddie Andsrson showed that they were the best for their respective positions and gave the this year ' s senior class one of the best records that any senior class has ever had so far as football is concerned. Did these fellows strut? Several younger men showed that they would come in for some serious considera- tion before the curtain was drawn on the ' 3o- ' 34 campaign. These standouts were S?m Leslie, Jim Darracott, Willie Belle Robinson, Hank Freeman, Bee Clark, Jack McNeely, Major Chandler, and several others. After the results of this opening encounter was known, word cams from over at the University of Alabama, the next opponent, that the trainer of the Red Elephants said that they were sticking up their ears and taking notice of the Oglethorpe encounter. Through the beginning •of the next week much work was undergone to shape a good attack for the Elephants. Leaving on Friday and going by the Hound way (Grey- hound Bus) the team landed all ready for the scrap on the following afternoon. The sky was dark and the rain descended, so did the Red Mammoths. Throwing their trunks in the air they ran rough shod over the Petrels to the score of 34 to 0. But though thsy seemingly had a sweet after- noon of the affair, they were hard pressed at times to make the grade. Several times the Birds pecked dangerously at their goal line but failed by inches. Weight and experience could not be over come. The return was slightly less bright than the trip to Tuscaloosa but on the Monday following practice was as usual. This time the work was for the trip to New York and the Manhattan game. This affair proved to be a battle of coaches. Rebertson was pitting his brain and brawn against his old master and former coach. The younger man was the victor and Oglethorpe chalked up another intersectional victory. The victory created a stir among sports circles because an untried team rose to the heights to defeat a powerful and much vaunted clan of foot- ballers under Chick Meehan.

K C |v- j Clark Craven GLETHORPE should be and is proud of her baseball history. In 1924 the Stormy Petrels held the undisputed title to the Southern Collegiate Baseball Championship, and again in 1930 played the same high brand of ball to win this honor again. If we look back into the records of Oglethorpe teams, we find such names, famous in professional ranks, as Wingo, Carlyle, Turk, Porter, Bryant, Appling, and others. Much of the credit for the success of these players goes to Coach Frank B. Anderson, who is called the father of athletics at Oglethorpe Uni- versity. His fame as a coach has sp read all over the south and during the past years many a big league scout has been seen on the campus looking over the players as they practice out on Hermance Field. Last year ' s graduates from the team left many important positions to be filled. Those who played their last game for Oglethorpe were: Whitley, a flashy second baseman and a consistent batter; Chink Mar- tin, a short stop whose place will be difficult to fill; Charley George, who is now catching for New Orleans and is headed for the big show ; Sam Baker, a centerfielder who was a one manoutfit; Parker Bryant, a great first baseman, and Reed Craven, a hustling catcher. The men back from last year are: Vance, Dixon, Fisher, Robison, Clark and Anderson. The new candidates are: Farmer, Moon, McGinty, Sullivan, Wade, Harrison, Anthony, Copeland, McCullough, and Thran- hardt. It is a little early in the season to make a px ' ediction as to the merits of the current team, but in practice the boys look good. So far this season Oglethorpe has won three and lost three in practice games. I N T E R S R R I T Y C u N c I L ffirgmthatious Mary Bryan Chi Omega Jane Crenshaw . . ....

Since then, it has forged ahead until it is now one of the leading college theater groups. As director Miss Cobb was followed by Fred Stewart, Earl Blackwell, Sam Miller and the prssent director, Paul Carpenter, Jr. THE PLAYERS CLUB has contributed no little talent to the stage and screen. Abrahrm Orowitz was one of the first to graduate from this organization to the New York stage where he appeared in Counselor at Law. Fred Stewart was praised high- ly by the New York critics for his performance in Ladies of Creation. Earl Black- well veered from the stage and is now working in motion pictures for the Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer Picture Corporation in Hollywood, Cal. Claudia Smaw ' s thespian ability was well received by Atlanta audiences when she plaved here in stock last year. Paul Carpenter, Jr., met with an appreciative audience in his portrayals while playing with the Peruchi Playevs here last season. HIS FIRST ATTEMPT at play production at Oglethorpe was in the presentation of Dark Eyes, a one-act comedy which proved a financial as well as a practical suc- cess. Martha Carmichael and Bill Loy, as the leads, carried their parts well, and Eleanor Rogers, Jean Farrell, Thornwell Jacobs, Jr., and Paul Carpenter, Jr., were excellent in the supporting cast. AN INTERESTING SUPPLEMENT to the Players Club is the class in Play Production, held once a week under the direction of Paul Carpenter, Jr. This class tends to train the students in stage technique and to fit them for parts in Players Club productions.
