Ex Libris HesDcr r T75jTjjyrjTTTT5TJ3TrTTJ P. A. M. C. SFAL In the infancy of every institution there are many prob- lems to be met. One of the problems that has confronted the student body of P. A. M. C. has been the adoption of a suitable emblem or seal. Every nation, every state and every college of note has its seal. The student body of P. A. M. C, after much consideration and iuAestigation, has decided to adopt the above as the emblem of the college. The Hesper staff of 1927 believes that it is always the proper coui ' se of procedure to do the most appropriate thing at the most appropriate time, and they do, for that reason, re- quest that this seal be printed in each issue of the Hesper. Hespet OREWO ?D For each and even.- joyful thing. For twilight swallows on the wing. For all that nest and all that sing — For fountains cool that laugh and leap. For rivers running to the deep. For happy, care-forgetting sleep — For stars that pierce the sombre dark. For morn, awaking with the lark. For life new-stirring neath the bark — For sunshine and the blessed rain. For budding grove and blossomy lane. For the sweet silence of the plain — For bounty springing from the sod. For every step by beauty trod — For each dear gift of joy. thank God! . f W - 1 Hespef To the man who has always eiiven of his best — and a good best ■t has been — since his arrival here in 1923. To H. W. Houghton, the man who is always back of any activity and itho has a place in the hearts of P. A. M. C. students, faculty and ' ilumni, we affectionately dedicate this, the Hesper of 1927. i: -a Mr ' LI u 1 1 ' I If you want to be happy yourself, make others happy. imm H. W. HOUGHTON, A. B. Science FRANK C. LEMON, .M. A. Dean Hespet Professors may come and professors may go but Mr. Edward Gieck stays right in the harness through changes of season and administration. He seems to have mastered the art of satisfying the Board of Agriculture with his services better than anyone else who has been connected with the institution, if we judge by the length nf time he has been employed. Mr. Gieck began work on the campus in 1909 during the construction of the Administration Building, now the oldest on the campus. He will tell you with a twinkle in his eye that he has seen four presidents come and go as well as seven agriculturists in his time. Besides the various positions he has held on the campus, he served as deputy sheriff in the turbulent times when any athletic contest at Goodwell presented strong probabilities of turning into a riot. His influence in the community has always been on the side of harmony, order and progress. He has an active interest in public affairs, being at the present a member of the Goodwell Board of Aldermen. In the position he now holds. Foreman of the Experiment Station Farm, his long experience and knowledge of early conditions have proved valuable. Both students and faculty in answer to the question. What would it be here without Mr. Gieck? reply, It would be hard to find anything you want. Mr. Gieck is now entering on his eighteenth year of service to P. A. M. C., loved and re- spected by all those associated with him and we hope he will stay with the College for many years to come. you want to make others happy, be happy yourself. Hespef- OKLAHOMA STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE Hon. Harry B. Cordell President Hon. Fern E. King Hon. George Van Noy Hon. J. B. Parks Hon. L. A. Clinkenbeard AGRICULTURE Panhandle A. and M. College, the educational center of a great area of plains country, oc- cupies bo ' .h a leading position and a dependent position. Its services to students, teachers, farmers and business men are already extended to the far corners of the territory which it serves. It is recognized both at home and abroad. Yet like the country it represents it is only par- tially developed. Much raw land remains on the plains to be made productive. The mineral resources are only beginning to be investigated. This college has fields of instruction which have not yet been occupied. There are demands for service it cannot yet fulfill, so that in the productive and commercial development of the plains, to which the college proposes to contrib- ute the development of an educational institution, is also involved. There are two alternatives wh ch the publ c may take regarding the Panhandle A. and M. College. It may concentrate upon the commercial development which will drag the institution forward slowly, supplying the needs of the boys and girls grudgingly as they become shamefully apparent : or it may build fcr a future that everyone recognizes lies before the Panhandle, a future of pro- gressive expansion and begin at once to turn out men and women fitted to take a leading part in the development of the natural resources of the region. Not only can the institution contribute men and women to the development of the land but by agricultural research contribute the information which all the people need to make development more sure and rapid. There can be no better p!ace for students to get their collegiate training than in a college adequately equipped and devoted specifically to the scientific, economic and sociological features of the region in which they expect to make their homes. There is no way of supplying the agricultural inf rmatirn now lacking except by research under the exact conditions it is expected to be used. Therefore, it appears there is no particular enterprise concerned with the entire development of the plains which can return as great results and as permanent results toward that end as can this college if it is adequately provided for. We can see ahead a constant expansion of service, a firmer position of ieadeiship and a growing appreciation of the public for P. A. M. C. H. H. FiNNELL. Blessed are the happiness makers jor they are the light of the ivorld. Hesper Hespef- A PLEA Give me one friend, just one, who meets The needs of all my varying moods; Be we in noisy city streets. Or in dear Nature ' s solitudes. One who can let the World go by, And suffer not a minute ' s pang; ' ho d dare to shock propriety ith me, and never care a hang. Who, in my rarely righteous streaks. Should love me — love me not the less When I am given to outbreaks Of pure, besotted selfishness. One who, when 1 am sick and glum. Can lay conventions on the shelf. And just for my dear sake become A blooming heathen, like myself. One who can share my grief or mirth. And know my days to praise or curse; And rate me just for what I ' m worth. And find me still — oh. not so worse! Give me one friend, for peace or war. And I shall hold myself well-blest. And richly compensated for The cussedness of all the rest. —Esther M.

C. production directed by Dean Lemon, is eagerly awaited by the theatre-going public. Stars are Bus Gieck, who has the role of President, and May King and Carrie Powell, who play opposite him in the role of May Queen and Secretary of the class. The cast is evenly divided— three applying for A. B. degrees and three for B. S.— three married and three un — Louise Poteet is an unusually popular player, being the only member of the east who has played in it each year since its organization in the fall of 1923 — the personelle having entirely changed — otherwise — since then. Elaine Lemon bears the unique position of wife of the Dean — which part was written especially for her by the librettist, with lyric adaptations. Mrs. Nevins plays the part of all round busy and capable person, and Clara Evans is Vice-President, odd job man. emergency squelcher and general roustabout. There is no satisfaction comparable to that oj making one ' s neighbor happy. espei- Ci RA M. Evans, A. B. Encush Eugene. Ore. Vice-Pres. Quill and Buskin 27: Pan Pipers 27; Secretary P. A.

Hespe COACH AND CAPTAIN In September Coach Frederick began his fourth year with the Aggie football squad. Coach has seen the Aggies develop from a group of men largely composed of high school students to a well-rounded aggregation of experienced college athletes. Even though the Aggies did not have an all-victorious football season this year they stepped out into their class with the heaviest schedule in the history of the school. With the coming of the 1927 season Panhandle fans will see the Aggies step into even better football and will see Frederick ' s men come through the season with a record deserving of great praise. The team was most fortunate in having as their captain Floyd Whisenhunt, who was a power in the line, a man in whom the members of the team had explicit confidence, and whose moral ideals would be an inspiration to any young man. Whiz is coming back next year and with twenty-five more like him the Aggies should have the greatest fn itball season they have ever known. For to what can happiness he wisely sacrificed but to (greater happiness. Hesper John Bird (Birdie) Left Half; Tyrone; Weight 165. Bird is a triple threat man. doing the heavy part of the passing and punting, and when a few yards or a long run was needed. Bird could do it. Bird has two years left to play with the Aggies. Paul Kirkhart (Toad) Right Half; Gate; Weight 172. Paul was the most consistent ground gainer of the Aggie squad. He led the team in yardage gained for the season. Kirkhart played his second year with the Aggies and is coming back. Allen Williams (Pulley) Quarter Back; Forgan; Weight 160 Williams played his second year at quarter and besides being a good director of the team he was high-point man for the season. Two more years with the Aggies. Boy, those long end runs. Vernon Hamby (Sleepy) Center; Sayre; Weight 175. Hamby, due to his weight and accuracy at passing the ball, was a power at center. He played liis second year with the team and promises to be back next year. John BAaEY (Romeo) Full Back; Gate; Weight 170. Bailey came to us from Gate with a good high school record which he maintained through his first year with the Aggies. A better man for that position will be hard to find. Three more years for Bailey. The domestic affections are the principal sources of human happiness and well-being. Hespef Bryan Mitchusson (Mitch) Right End: Gray; Weight 155. Mitch was a bear when it came to tackling and could handle any pass that came his way. He played his second year with P. A. M. C. and will be here for two more O ' s. Henry White i Reverend) Left End: Erick; Weight 155. White played his first year with the Aggies and a real year it was. On the offense he opened a wagon trail, and on the defense the side line never saw him boxxed. Be hack next year. Robert Murphy (Rod) Center; Tyrone; Weight 150. Mur phy played his first year with the Aggies and, even though he was handicapped by his lack of beef, he made up for it in fighting quality. He was always in the game with his head up. James Rudd (Jim) Left Tackle; Texhoma: Weight 170. He was the pjwer of the line, and no opponent found a hole at left tackle. When a punt was blocked it was Rudd that did it. and when it was absolutely necessary to get a tackle behind the line. Rudd was the man to get that tackle. Ruben Bryan (Jack) Left Guard; Gray: Weight 195. Due to his weight and strength Bryan had little trouble making a letter after he made up his mind to do so. With the experience that he gained this year it will be hard to find a better man in the state the coming season than Bryan. What wp need is, not more cultivation, hut a recog- nized habit of enjoyment. Hesper Gecrce Aycock Half Back; Texhoma; Weight 160. First year witii the Aggies, looks like good material for a regular next year. George has plenty of fight and is fast on the gridiron. William Toepfer (Bill I Right Tackle; Goodwell; Weight 170. Bill played his first year with the A. and M. aggregation and will be back to hit the opponents harder next year. Orris McBride (Mac) Half Back; Goodwell: Weight 150. Played in several games, and is a good ground gainer. This was Mac ' s second year with the team, and he will he back fighting for a berth next season. Olen Thomas (Shortie) Full Back; Erick; Weight 155. Thomas was captain of the Aggie team in 1923 and was back this year to help the team over a hard season. Thomas ' s absence from the team of next year will leave a vacancy that will be very difficult to fill. Eber Heady (Ere) End; Goodwell; Weight 150. Heady saw action in most every game, and will be a strong contender for a wing position another year. Eber has two more years to play with the Aggies. George Reese Tackle; Tyrone; Weight 170. Reese was a dependable man in a pinch. A hard and good tackier. Will be back next year. Be glad oj life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

There they found competition somewhat stronger. But even in the face of keener competition the squad had a very successful season. The 1927 squad should have a majority of this year ' s letter men back, since no seniors played. Thomas may not return, but there is sure to be an abundance of new material out for the team. With the stiffest schedule in the history of tlie school ahead, many old Aggie athletes are planning to return to school next year. At the annual mixer and oyster supper given by the business men on March 4, Jim Rudd was elected captain of the 1927 football squad. A ' 26 RECORD Aggies 6 Wayland Aggies West Tex.

Hespe BASKET BALL RESUME After the annual class tournament in December the school squads were assembled. Five letter men were back: Captain Bird, right guard; Williams, right forward; Bryan, center; Kirkhart, left forward; Mitchusson, -right forward. Bailey and Murphy, guards; Walker, center; Magnuson, forward and guard; Reesse. forward, and Roach, forward, were other members of the squad. Bus Kirkhart was here the second semester and worked as a relief forward. After winning two practice games from a nearby high school the team won games in succession from West Texas Reserves, Garden City, and Wilburton and Rolla American Legions on the local court. One game was won from the West Texas Reserves at Canyon, and two games from Wayland at Plainview. Paul Kirkhart. illiams and Bryan were the scorers and acted as regidars with Captain Bird and Murphy. Williams was high-point man on the Texas trip. Mitchusson s shooting and floor play enabled the Aggies to run up the score on Garden Citv. Bus Kirkhart started two scoring rallies on the Texas trip that put the Aggies in the lead. The guarding of Bird. Murphy and Bailey featured all the games, and Walker could be depended upon to fill capably either center or forward. The team was likely the strongest P. A. .M. C. has ever known. Aggies 28 W. T. S.

C. has had in many years. Bryan Mitchusson is captain of the squad and promises to be a strategic leader. Aggieland is noted for an abundance of baseball material, and from the number of men out at present this year will prove no exception to that rule. It would be a very hazardous speculation to make an attempt to name the regulars. When one gets to love ivork. his life is a happy one. Hespe Back Row : Williams, Aycock, Bailey, Foreman.

This season all the old letter men are back with the exception of Ross, and in addition to these old veterans much new material is in view. The best prospects are: Walker, Texhoma, Panhandle champion in the mile last year; Campbell, Texhoma, broad jump, dashes; White, Erick, quarter and relay; Grace, Goodwelj, shot; Bailey, Gate, dash and relay; Aycock, Texhoma, dash and relay.

Aggie Boys Letter Club The club was fouiuleJ in 1924 and has sought to attract good athletes to P. A. M. C; to promote good fellowship and a high standard of scholarship among athletes. The cluh is always willing to co-operate in any school activity and especially one which has to do with athletics. Letter men who have recently joined the club are: Aycock, Bailey, Reese, Walker, Murphy and Foreman. There ' s lots of fun in the world if a fellow knotvs how to find it.

The purpose of the club is to promote better athletics, good fellowship, sportsmanship and above all scholarship among girl atTiletes. The girls are always willing to co-operate in any athletic activity and when called upon always respond eagerly. Joy comes not to him itho seeks it for himself, but to him who seeks it jor other people. Hesper THE RED HOT SOCIETY The loyalty and pep of the P. A. M. C. student body is well represented by the Red Hot Society. The Red Hots were organized during the fall of 1925, and so diligently did they express school spirit at all events that the society was enthusiastically reorganized the next year. Ihe members are elected by the student body. During the football and basketball seasons of 1926 and 1927 the work of the Red Hots was outstanding. Not only students and teachers of the college but also the towns-people soon learned that almost any strange commotion or noise might be another Red Hot stunt to arouse the enthusiasm of everyone for some approaching game, for that is the real purpose of the organiza- tion—not to show the students ' pep for them, but to arouse and lead their pep. At all athletic events Red Hots were seen bobbing up and down arousing pep or else they were found out on the field putting on some interesting feature between quarters and halves. The Red Hot Society has carried out its aim of promoting college spirit and upholding ath- letics in the college, and there is every reason to believe they will continue to do so. The officers of the organization are: Grant Landreth Captain Basil Martin Lieutenant-Captain Hazel Etter Secretary-Treasurer Hazel Finnell Reporter Is not making others happy the best happiness?

C. is composed of five distinct schools: The Schools of Violin, Wind and Reed Instruments, Voice, Piano and Speech. There are six activities con nected with these schools — the Aggie Band, the College Orchestra, the Girls ' Glee Club, the Boys Glee Club and the Blue Curtain Entertainers, the Dramatic Club. Each of these organizations does a definite program of work throughout the year. The School of Violin and the School of Wind and Reed Instruments each offers private lessons. Mrs. L. A. Dumond, Professor of Violin, is head of these schools and director of the band and orchestras. The School of Voice and the School of Piano each offers, private lessons. Mrs. J. V. Fred- erick, Professor of Fine Arts, is head of these schools and director of the Glee Clubs. The School of Speech offers private lessons in Expression. It offers a Minor in Speech toward a B. A. degree. Miss Jeweldean Brodie, Professor of Speech, is head of this school and play director of all college plays. The Fine Arts department offers class work in Theory of Music, Public School Music, Music Appreciation, Instrumentation, Harmony, History of Music, Solfeggio and Ear Training, Public Speaking and Argumentation and Debate, and Practice Teaching in Music. We are proud of this department; it is one of the largest and strongest departments in the College. There can be no real and abiding happiness without sacrifice. Hesper THE PAN-AGGIE BAND The Pan-Aggie Band is one of the most popular and successful musical organizations of the college. It is under the direction of Mrs. L. A. Dumond. The band furnishes music for almost all of the college activities, including athletic games, tournaments, plays and other entertainments. It is a recently established custom of the band to present an Annual Fun Revue, consisting of music, singing, dancing and other clever forms of entertainment. The Revue of 1926 included a famous men s quartet with Nelson Funk, Herbert Campbell, Henry White and Russell Christian starring; and a one-act musical comedy, Cleopatra, presented by the boys which was received very enthusiastically by the students. The world is so full of a number of things, I ' m sure we should all be as happy as kings. Hesper THE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA The College Orchestra was organized the first of the college year with Mrs. L. A. Dumond as director. The organization was very successful and grew to be so large that it later was divided into a college orchestra and a high school orchestra. The original consisted of about thirty pieces and each of the smaller orchestras about sixteen each. P. A. M. C. is always proud of her splendid orchestras.

COLLEGE JUNIOR CLASS ORCHESTRA The College Junior Class, being of an unusual musical turn of mind, found it necessary to express this ability by organizing a class orchestra. This not only helped to promote class interest liut also attracted the attention of the other classes who were challenged to compete with the juniors in this line. The orchestra played college songs, semi-classical and popular music, and we hope to hear more from them in the near future.

Hesper BLUE CURTAIN ENTERTAINERS The Blue Curtain Entertaiiievs. under the sponsorship of Miss Jeweldean Brodie, Professor of Speech, propose to pi-omote nioi ' e and bettei ' dramatics in P. A. M. C. Only college students, senior preps, and private students in expression are eligible for membership. About sixty students are enrolled this year. This splendid clul? has done a great many things to improve the dra- matics of the school. Since the organization of the Blue Curtain Entertainers, several professional entertainments have been staged, including the Coffer- Miller players from New York City, and Tho mas Elmore Lucy, a dramatist. During the year the club has presented the Thirteenth Chaii-, a three act mysteiy play, opening the short course; My Wild Irish Rose, a musical play pi ' esented March 17, and the sacred play closing the Spring Festival. All casts have been chosen from student-mendjers of the ckd). On January 17, three one act plays chosen and directed by Miss Brodie were witnessed by an enthusiastic crowd. They were very humorous and interesting and the type of plays so popular at the present time. Happiness is not in the possession of a fortune; hap- piness is in the self-reliance and industry that makes a fortune. espe THE FIX RE TE It is with pleasure that we devote vahiable space in the Hesper to one of the cleverest productions of the year. The Fun Eevne. under the direction of Mrs. L. A. Diimond. vith the members of the Pan Aggie band as characters, gave the students and patrons of P. A. M. C. an evening of real entertainment. It has been the custom of the Band to give a comedy program each year : the programs in the pa.st have been good but we believe that the Fun Re -ue takes the prize. The unhappy are always wrong; wrong in being so, wrong in saying so, wrong in needing help of others. Hesper THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR One of the cleverest plavs ever presented in P. A. M. C. was the mystery play. The Thirteenth Chaii given during the 1927 Winter Short Course. The play was well received by all who saw it. and it was many days before critics found anything else worth while discussing. So thi-illing were many of the scenes and so blood curdling, that many co-eds who ordinarily go home alone were seen after the play vdxh. brave hearted young Romeos. Happiness is inward, not outward; and so it does not depend on what we hare, but on what k€ are. Hesper Mayhew, Miller, Vaughn. Calvert. Brodie, Mrs. Poteet, Mr. Poteet, .Muller. .leiisen and Evans.

This is its first year on the campus, but it has already proved an important factor in campus life. Out- standing pui ' poses of the club are those of socializing- and enlivening- routine English and of giving the students an opportunity to explore for themselves varied types of poetry, prose and drama. The club has socialized the study of English in many ways : by the study of contemporary dramatists, one act plays.

It does so much to brighten things np on the campus. However the class which appears on this page is an exceptional class. Few of these people ere green when they entei-ed school, and all of those have now taken on more of a sedate color. Serioiisly now. we really do like and respect the Freshmen, and hope they will l)e Ijack next year with their newly acquired haltits and a real desire to break in the new class. If there were no Freshman, all schools would soon cease to function. • h io has learned to laugh at himselj is a near neigh- lior to happiness. Hespejf SHORT COURSE The 1927 Winter Short Course experienced a somewhat ditferent brand of weather from that of past yeai ' s. A severe sand storm filled the first day with discomfort and all the buildings on the campus with sand. In spite of the disagree- able day when many were on their way to CTOodwell the at- tendance was good: the total enrollment exceeded 320 adults. The Thirteenth Chair , staged by the Blue Curtain Entertainers on Monday night. Feb. 14, for the pleasure of the short course visitors drew the largest crowd that has ever entered the Auditorium. And thus did the banquet Wed- nesday evening tax the capacity of the dining hall : 230 peo- ple were served. Music was furnished by the Snappy Six. The College Band. College Orchestra. Athletic As.sociation and Aggie Red Hots contributed to the entertainment of our visitors during the Short Course. Full courses were given this year in Home Making. Ani- mal Husbandry, and Agronomy. The home and livestock work proved very popular. One hundred men and women earned certificates in these two courses. Happiness is rarely absent; it is ice that know not its presence. Hespe THE CANNIES The Cannie elul) proved to l)e the strongest on the eampus last summer. With ease they won the summer eontests and the othei- eluljs wish to oft ' er no alibis. The president did a good job of choosing at the beginning of the summer term and with the co-operation of oifieers and members took many honors during the nine weeks period. Let ' s hope that the Cannies ill all be back next summer; possibly some of the other clubs will lie able to offer more competition in the siunmer con- tests. Happy is thr man indeed who can say that he otves no man anything.

I did ponder on the conversation which ranged from that of a great zany who wanted to talk about Catholics in Mexico to that of speculations on why Miss Brodie didn ' t bob her hair and what was th latest cry in Tom boy skirts. Basil and Allen did pass the window and all the girls got out their new compacts and there was one gold one I did greatly fancy, and resolve to have one like, some day. At chapel this week overhearing Madeljni Miller and Virginia Mayhew sajdng that Miss Hutcheson and Coach were already sweet upon one another. and Madelyii did gaze fondly at her own diamond as she spoke.

Hespe Seventh Day Sept. 25, 1926. Lay late, pondering the Haws revival and did hear the Wray had advanced President Fan- ning to the rank of grandfather. Did feel a sinking of the heart at thought of our boys at YayIand, but later much re- joiced at learning that they had won 6 to 0. At assembly this Aveek upon Ir. Xoah announcing the Editor and Business Manager of the Hesper, Vel- ma Field and John Nevins, Eston Foreman remarked that they both being married, there would l)e no petting parties in the staff office. Had much to do to smother a shriek on recognizing two mustached strangers as Mr. Carleton and Mr. Carter. Did wonder greatly at the sponsors chosen by classes, but as Mr. McKinley said, they couldn ' t ALL secure good looking ones. These were, Dean Lemon, Miss Hutcheson, Mr. Dumond, Mr. Noah, Miss Brodie, Mr. Franklin, Mr. Letter and Miss Rogers. George Aycock asking about our statue, the Sower, Kirkhart explained ro him that it was our moniunent to the five thousandth freshman to ask dumb questions. i=2.

Came Oct. 2, 1926. first to my attention outlines and themes due and such ragtag and bobtail, and also some time lost in answering questions from the new Collegian reporters. At lunch the Franklin Hall men could talk of nothing else but the Dempsey-Tunney fight and the Cardinals, till I was forced to feign disgust at such •nlgar topics, not having read the public prints and wishing to hide my ignorance. Secretly enraged at the tine appearance of the Freshmen in their new green caps, Thursday, and full of wonder at how they so oft take the lead. Max- ine and Howard did do the scene from the madhouse with such skill as to make my flesh creep. On Tuesday at the science assembly, Velma did read a radio message about the inside of our watches, so that all over the audi- torium watches were pried open and examined into as we listened, with much polishing of cases and cranking of Ingersolls. Mrs. Dumond ' s an- nouncement about the Pan Aggie band did call forth loud clapping of hands. Seventh Day To the game today and Avatched our men and Oct. 9, 1926.

It has been necessary on many occasions to call upon our former students to aid us in matters of tinance and have asked their help and advise on various projects. Always they have responded willingly and have been of a great deal of serA-ice to their Alma Mater. The officers of the Association this year are : Leon B.
