President of the Rice Institute t TO RICE NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE I know of nothing more exciting in the history of human thought than the ad- vent of a new philosophy of history on the one hand, or that of a new philosophy of science on the other. Within your Hfetinie two such advents have occurred. They are associated with the names of Spengler and Einstein. L ' shering in new philoso- phies of civilization and the cosmos, they have wrought veritable revolutions of the mind. Like all revolutions, they temporarily shocked the reason and staggered the imagination of men. Unlike most revolutions, they have invested light and the will to do well with new significance and power. They have been accomplished by the method of science at play on earlier notions of the physical universe and the progress of history. For four years at Rice you have been wrestling with revolutions in your own mind. While less racking, less rigorous than those I have mentioned, these per- sonal revolutions have been to you none the less real or far-reaching in importance. On reflection upon them in their wake, I trust you find them to have left with you the tolerant judgment, the refined taste, and the chaste imagination of a disci- plined mind. At all events, whether you have been quite aware of it or not. here again the same principle has been at play. For example, how much of your search- ing power in inquiry, of your enthusiasm for ideas, of your sharpening wit in argu- ment, of your adventures in discovery, of your skill in summary statement, of your conquest of ignorance, of your satisfaction in truth confirmed — how much of these things by which men live — how much of these things you owe to the mind and method of science at work within you. I should like to think that these conflicts of the mind will be among the most constantly recurring of your recollections of this place, because I like also to think that the soul you have found and the character you have formed in these conflicts of the mind will be of unfailing resource to you in the larger adventures of life you are about to undertake. For, above all things, truth beareth away the victory. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES James Addison Baker Chairman William Marsh Rice.

Witherspoon Strawn THE CAMPUS PRINCESS TO THE DALLAS FAIR She moves a goddess and looks a queen — Pope Connoisseurs of feminine loveliness can find no fault with Rice ' s selection of Miss Katrina Smith to represent the Institute at the College Night festivities of the Dallas Fair this year. Miss Smith, comely, personable, and with an enviable amount of reserve, no doubt left an indelible impression upon those in attendance at the college ceremonies. It is a high honor and compliment to be chosen Princess from Rice on this occasion, since Rice has established a reputation for the beauty and charm of her representatives at All-College day. li i MISS MARJORIE LOCKMAN MAY FETE The most perfect of Rice ' s beautiful May fetes was presented in 1928. It was planned on a much larger and more elaborate scale and was executed with greater ease and smoothness than ever before. At this fete Queen Marjorie of the House of Locknian was crowned queen of the May, and, together with King Claude of the House of Hooton ruled the court of splendor that day. She was attended by Princess Matilda of the House of Hood and Princess Catherine of the House of Fondren. Then followed in order The Duke and Duchess of the House of Freshman, Allan Haberly and Martha Stewart; the Duke and Duchess of the House of Sopho- more, Elmo Coon and Bernice Ludeau; the Duke and Duchess of the House of Junior, Lawrence Hamilton and Charlotte Williams; and the Duke and Duchess of the House of Senior, Walter Boone and Mildred Stowe. Each class, besides its duke and duchess, was represented by a number of maids and was distinguished by its particular color of dress. When all the court had taken their places at the throne, they presented a scene of extravagant splendor toned to a harmonious beauty. The assembled court was entertained by a dance by Miss Edythe Westerfield and by an unusually charming Maypole dance performed by eight girls from the Institute. The fete was brought to a close by the grand march, which was led by the king and queen. Miss Marjorie Lockman, president of the Woman ' s Council, was largely re- sponsible for the success of this May fete. Miss Helen Clarke was awarded the cup given each year to the best all- ' round co-ed. J. C. McNki ll I . (). Wool) SPRING ELECTIONS The Stiulenl Association.

It is in the social activities which bring to a close the col- lege days that the members of the graduating class, friends for four years, are last met together as an active element of their school. There is prevalent in them a deeper and more forceful current of emotions than is found in other student gatherings, which leaves its imprint on the hearts and memories of all for days to come. On Saturday morning, June second, the graduating class held the Senior Amer- ican, an informal dance and breakfast, on the roof of the Rice Hotel. That night the class met at the Brazos Hotel for the Senior Banquet. Besides a program of entertainment, the history of the class is discussed, plans for the future are made, and permanent class officers are elected at this banquet. Dr. and Mrs. Edgar Odell Lovett entertained with a garden party in honor of the Senior Class on the following Monday morning. This garden party is held on the Campus of Rice, and offers an opportunity for the friends and relatives of the class to become acquainted with the spirit and faculty of Rice. The Final Ball, a familiar event in every college, was held in the ballroom of the Rice Hotel on the night of June fourth. For a few brief hours it was forgotten that with the end of the ball came also the end of college days. Plans were optimistically made for when we meet again, and reality was forced back by postponing until tomorrow the ordeal of saying goodbye to friends tested by four years of intimate association. THE R FOOTBALL BANQUET Tlie K ' Association of Rire Institute held its annual banquet for the football team at the Rice Hotel on the night of December 8. More than five hundred per- sons attended this banquet, which was probably the most memorable and im- pressive in the athletic history of Rice. The coaches and the football letter men of the five senior high schools of Hous- ton were the special guests of the R Association. The coaches and football team of Rice, graduates, who in many cases came from distant points for this oc- casion, and business men interested in Rice made up the largest number of those attending. After the letter men for 1928 had been announced, they retired from the hall and elected Bush Jones and ' ' Spud Braden co-captains for 1929. Danny All- noch was awarded the cup given each year by George Martin to the most valu- able player. THE R AND QUILL BANQUET Members of the staffs of the three publications of Rice are invited each year to attend a banquet given by certain printing and engraving houses of Houston. This year the banquet was held at the College Inn on the night of May 18. Those who are invited to attend the banquet make up the R and Quill Asso- ciation of Rice. It is at this banquet that the editors of the publications of Rice award the pin of the association to certain members of tlieir staff and at which the officers of the association for the coming year are elected. Tom Daley was elected president: Rowena MacLaughlin, vice president for 1929. : S COMMENCEMENT 1928 Degrees were conferred upon nearly two hundred students at the thirteenth an- nual commencement exercises of the Rice Institute. This is the largest graduating class ever to leave Rice. Reverend Samuel Atkins Eliot, D.D., LL.D., of the Arlington Street Church, Boston, Massachusetts, delivered the baccalaureate sermon which began the com- mencement exercises on Sunday morning, June 3. The sermon was given in the Academic Court of Rice Institute. The commencement address and the awarding of degrees took place in the Academic Court on the morning of June 4. Dr. John Huston Finley, L. H. D., LL.D., Associate Editor of the New York Times and president of the University of the State of New York, delivered the commencement address. The degrees were awarded to the members of the graduating class by Dr. Edgar Odell Lovett. The degrees awarded comprised one hundred and forty -five of Bachelor of Arts, three of Doctor of Philosophy, eight of Master of Arts, one of Master of Science, three of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, seven of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, twelve of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, nine of Bache- lor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, four of Bachelor of Science in Architec- ture, and one of Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. Following the awarding of degrees Dr. Lovett announced the names of those students whose grades had merited the scholarships given each year by the Rice Institute. These are about twenty -five in number. Rice commencement exercises adequately express the solemn and serious nature of a college education. SALLYPORT A person who sees the campus of Rice Institute only at noon cannot fully realize its charming beauty. The bell tower of the Palmer Chapel late in the evening, the Administration Building with its lighted cloisters on a moon-lit night, or the dimly lighted walks of the Academic Court with its tall, waving trees can hardly be equalled from the stand- point of beauty. t: Froslimcn jjirls .ire soon taught that college is not the place to be sophisti- cated, at least not in the first year. For they may be carried to classes in wheel- barrows, or painted up in outlandish manners, or made to dress up like witches with brooms and parade down Main street, or even to peddle maga- zines about the campus.

At the dorms freshman introduction day upon which the freshmen are presented to the old students is quite an inter- esting event. i Gus and Johnny are to be praised for their splen- did worli as cheer leaders during the year. Nothing was more rousing than the down-town pep parades or the meetings in the amphi- theater, during the fool- ball season. Nor was any- thing more impressive than the huge bonfire on tlie eve of some especially hard-conlested game. I t: .fii%??7.f The stands always ex- pected to see the mega- phones of the cheer leader hoisted into use after every spectacular play and were seldom disappointed. For the girls a football game is a very pleasant way to spend an after- noon, but for the bench of coaches it is several hours of anxious watching. Hice co-eds imisl read Iheir Thresliers belore Ihey leave I ' m I lie S.M.l. game at Dallas. Some were able to drive up in a car the day before the game, but most of us were con- tent to leave that night on the special and wake up the next morning in Dal- las. But no matter how goes, football trips are always a great deal of fun. King Roth, Pea- nut, and Pug take off a little time to pose for a picture. George Martin congratulated Danny for winning the cup given to the most valuable player, and everybody turned out to welcome Meagher to the Institute as football coach. Ashcraft shows the boys just the correct style for driving a ball three hundred yards. mmm :t: 1 ♦ ' J t This year, as usual. Miss Blake and Reverend Summers have made the Autry House one of the most popular places about the campus. Students flock to the Autry House for their morning cokes, a friendly game of bridge, or a quick lunch before that afternoon lab. And many is the ride that has been hopped while standing on the esplanade across the street. t f ' i ' - =f Ocassionally a student who passes by the Thresh- er office near the lower li- brary can see the staff at work, and every now and then Bill decides to give a little time to putting out The Owl. But strenuous work is always going on at the Campanile office both night and day in order to put the book out on time. Automobiles are as much a part of college life as are classes and books, and Rice has its share of speedy looking ones of all models and makes. Many an off period has been spent in a hurried ride down the drag. But Herk is always on the job to see that they park in the right place when they come back and do not block the walk between the cars. 1 A new sport was intro- duced to the campus as the result of a hard rain one morning. Enterprising students attached boards to automobiles and aqua- planed down the main boulevard, forgetting about the classes which did not meet because of the lack of students and in sotne cases of professors whose cars had stalled on the way. -,-.-=£53 ' ' Baseball games are by far the most popular sport of the dormitory student and many a Sunday morn- inn nap is disturbed by the noise from these frays. But some prefer the less sirennous. yet equally in- lercslitif; f;ame of washers, or still better to lie in the shade of the trees on Main Street and watch the cars go by late in the evening. mwmm t I t: h ' ' l 7H M Whenspringrolls around most of us like to gather in groups about the cam- pus for a friendly chat during an off period, or to go for a ride in the park, or even take a nap in the sun with our books for a pillow. But the Woman ' s Council can ' t afford to spend an idle moment with the May fete so near at hand and none of the work done yet. fcr$Qj) == SOCIETY SATURDAY NIGHT DANCES Extreme difficulty was experienced with the Saturday night dances this year. Due to the excessive crowds (unfortunately not Rice in personnel) at Autry House the dances were moved to the University Club, but this too presented difficulties, and the final change was made to River Oaks Countrv Club, which proved to be a favorable move. Lee ' s Owls continued to furnish excellent music for the dances. P.A.L.S. ACTIVITIES Due to inability to secure a night date for the annual P.A.L.S. dance, the affair this year was a unique function in the form of an afternoon tea dance, on March second. The mirrored floor of McMillan ' s gave the setting, and the Royal Terrace Orchestra furnished the music. A portable orthophonic Victrola was raffled off, Mr. Henry Lee Borden being the lucky winner. On the afternoon of April fifteenth the active club members entertained at the home of Miss Mary Tallichet with a tea in honor of the Alumnae members. Mrs. J. A. Baker, Jr., presided at the tea table, and the officers of the club formed the receiving line. A distinctive pink and green dinner was the P.A.L.S. compliment to their new pledges, Miss Julienne Sakowitz, Eleanor Barnes, Derby Quinn, Helen Nina Scott, Pauline McDonald, Rowena McLaughlin, Bonner Sewell, Mildred Howze, and Evelyn Higginbotham. The dinner was held at Miss Cooper ' s Cupboard on March twelfth. t: RALLY CLUB Again honoring the football men, the Rally Club entertained November twenty- sixth at the LIniversity Club with their usually well-attended dance. The tradi- tional football decorations — goal posts at each end of the hall, football dummies. Rice blankets, and football programs, converted the hall into a gridiron. Music was provided by the Collegians. Joe Shimek was general chairman of the dance. E.B.L.S. ACTIVITIES On March fourth Miss Katrina Smith, Senior member of the E.B.L.S. honored the pledges with a lovely luncheon at the Warwick. The club ' s colors were cleverly used in the decorations. Each pledge was presented with a lovely gift. Impromptu recitations by the pledges added to the spirit of the party. The E.B.L.S. had its annual card party on March sixteenth at the LTniversity Club. The merchants of Ho uston, responding to the call in an unusually generous manner, donated many lovely gifts to be used as prizes. The annual E.B.L.S. Alumnae breakfast was held on Thanksgiving morning at the Lamar Hotel. This get-together between the Alumnae and active members is always well attended. Dr. Axson, following the custom, gave the address. The initiation of the pledges began at 7:30 the morning of March eighth. The pledges. Misses Marian Cooke, Jessie Robinson, Evelyn Hancock, Marjorie Dunn. Dorothy Dunn, Cleo Segrest, Adele Wharton, Marian Mellinger, Margaret Car- ter, and Catherine Montgomery, came to school dressed in the mode of the nineties, in an old-fashioned carry-all. This was followed by initiation at the Gieseke country home. The climax of the day was in the lovely buffet dinner held at the home of Miss Kathryn Logue. Each honoree was presented with a compact. f I CRANMER CLUB DANCE One of llie most enjoyable Rice traditional dances was held tlie night of Febru- ary fourteenth at Autry House. This was the Cranmer Club Valentine dance. The decorations were unusually attractive, red-paper iiearts and cupids fairly covering the ballroom. The orchestra. Lee s Owls, was hidden behind a screen of red streamers. FRESHMAN BOAT RIDE The Freshmen had their day April twentieth, on their boat ride down the chan- nel to Sylvan Beach on the pleasure boat Nicholas. After a delightful ride down, the children swam, danced to Ralph Britt ' s orchestra, and just before starting home, partook of a healthy picnic supper. The return home was featured by lights out. lee ' s omls orchestra RECEPTION On an October afternoon the joint reception of the E. B.L. S., P. A. L. S., and the O.W.L.S., was held at the Autry House, in honor of the new girls. The large room was converted into a veritable garden of flowers, with the exquisitely decorated tea table holding a central position. This tea table was presided over by Mrs. Eugene Blake and Mrs. Sara Stratford, the receiving line being composed of the officers of the three clubs. O.W.L.S. ACTIVITIES The annual Thanksgiving Alumnae breakfast of the O.W.L.S. was given at the Houston Club. Fall flowers and autumn leaves lent charm and grace to the long U-shaped table. Miss Patti Jean Alsup, president of the club, performed the duties of toastmistress. MISS MARY ELIZABETH TISDALE AND J. R. YANCEY LEADERS OF THE GRAND MARCH ENGINEERS DANCE The first dance of the social season at Rice had as hosts the Engineers, on November ninth, at River Oaks Country Chib. The glory of these men was re- flected in a great sunburst at the far end of the hall brilliantly illuminating the shield of the organization. Streamers in the school colors festooned tiie ceiling. A salad and sandwich supper was served at midnight. Clarence lcElreath was general chairman for the dance. t: MISS ROVVENA MCLAUGHLIN AND CHARLES WARD, LEADERS OF THE GRAND MARCH SOPHOMORE DANCE The Sophomores were unusually fortunate in the selection of the date for their dance — the final night of final exams, February seventh — held at River Oaks Country Club. The ballroom was cleverly transformed into a Spanish scene, a hacienda forming the central decoration at one end of the room, with a pavillion festooned with Spanish moss and sniilax entwined on the trellis-work. It was from this pavillion that the or- chestras, Ralph Britt ' s and Eee ' s Owls, furnished the music. At midnight a delicious Mexican supper further carried out the theme of the dance. Bill Murphy was general chairman for the dance. MISS JOSEPHINE MARCHBANKS AND FELIX RUNION ARCHI-ARTS BALL More unusual and equally well worked out, the Archi-Arts Ball this year was Venetian in theme. The Doges ' Palace, the Grand Canal, St. Mark ' s Cathedral, all had their place in the ballroom of River Oaks Country Club, the night of Feb- ruary twenty-first, with the climax being in the Bridge of Sighs over the entrance door. In this romantic Venetian setting youths and maidens from all countries and climes assembled, and on a crowded floor danced a typical American step. JUNIOR PROM In the most modern and futuristic of settings, the Junior Prom was held this year, March first, at River Oaks Country Club. Modernistic wall plaques and soft lights changed the ballroom into a fantastic land. The grand march was led by the president, Mr. Evan Thomas, and the vice-president. Miss Edythe Wester- field. An outstanding feature of the evening was the music by the Metropolitan Theatre orchestra. At midnight a southern fried-chicken supper was served. Branch Masterson was general for the Prom. ,:mAAcri 4) ==— DRAMATICS DRAMATIC CLUB The 1928-29 season witnessed the eighth year in the history of the Dramatic Chib. This organization dates back to 1921, when John Clark Tidden, Dr. J. W. Slaughter, R. W. Lawrence and a small group of students saw the need for such an organization on the campus and gave the club its initial start. Its purpose is to produce plays worthy of presentation by an educational institution, with the high- est possible artistic production and standard of acting, and to encourage in all ways possible the interest of students in the development of drama in all its phases. The club is entirely a student affair, faculty members serving only as directors and advisors. The officers for the 1928-29 season were Fletcher Brown, president, Waldo McNeir, vice president, Nancy Forbes, secretary, and Alan Ilabberly, treasurer. Miss Maxine Jeanes was member-at-large and William Ilartman faculty advisor. After the fall productions, Fletcher Brown had to resign his office because of other campus duties which he seldom attended to, and Waldo McNeir was only too glad to succeed him as president. For the fall productions, the club had the pleasure of offering to Houston audi- ences a rare treat in the form of a play by an English playwright which had never before been produced in America. The second play was given a professional finish through the able direction of Mr. John Elliot who has had a great many years ex- perience on the professional stage as a character actor. The season was concluded in the customary manner by a bill of one-act plays. t: BIRD IN HAND The Rice Dramatic Club inaugurated its eighth year with Bird in Hand, a recent comedy success of John Drinkwater, presented on the evening of December sixteenth at the San Jacinto auditorium. The play offers a serious treatment of the breakdown of class distinctions in Eng- land before the democratic sentiments of the new generation. Over this serious framework the dramatist has laid a group of characters that go back to the Eng- lish humorous tradition of Fielding and Dickens. The outstanding work of the production was done by two newcomers. Jack Scott, who filled the breach caused by the last minute illness of Fletcher Brown, cannot be overpraised for his rendering of the difficult part of Thomas Greenleaf, last of the iron-jawed yeomanry. In direct contrast to Thomas ' stern severity is Mr. Blanquet, the cockney salesman of sardines. James Parker, by his finished acting, made this the feature role of the play. The rest of the cast was but slightly below the height reached by these two. As Ambrose Godolphin, Reginald Tucker again displayed his inimitable suavity of last year. Waldo McNeir was convincing as the irritable but harmless young fop, Cyril Beverly. The thoroughly stock and therefore difficult role of Alice Green- leaf was filled by Rowena McLaughlin. Martha Stewart took the part of her daughter Joan, the young modern who caused her father so much worry by her romance with Jerald Arnwood, played by Durell Carothers — the ardent lover who would defy custom and marry beneath his station. Charles Ward, as Sir Robert, filled another last minute opening caused by the influenza epidemic. The play was directed by Mr. James Harry Smith, whose fine flare for the dramatic was evident in all the incidents, and whose untiring effort was responsi- ble for the polish which the whole production manifested. OUTWARD BOUND In the second plav of the season. Outivurd Bound bv Sutton Vane, the Dramatic Chib attained one of the smoothest, best casts, and best acted produc- tions of its history. Directed by John Elliot, the finished performances showed tiearlv the mark of a professional long schooled in experience. Tlie plav is one of atmosphere — the awe, the mystery of death. Such feelings are aroused with diffi- culty in an audience, and are seldom secured by amateurs as the cast of Outward Bound secured tliem. Jam es Parker, as the clergyman, lived up to the high standard he set in Bird In Hand, and was especially strong in the Judgment scene. Helen Williams ' big speech brought lumps to the throats of the hearers and gained for her a well earned applause. Mary Margaret Brown effectively sustained to the last her haugiity airs as a society woman. The humor which often relieved the solemn scenes was largely tlie result of Jack Scott ' s well-nigli flawless rendering of the difficult character part of Mr. Lingley. Gordon Black, thru his utter sincerity, made the audience all sym- pathy for a character they knew was bad. Reginald Tucker, as the Examiner, was thoroughly at ease, as ever. Pat Lillard, by his well modulated voice, did much to create the atmosphere so essential to the play — as did Charles Reece Taylor and Maxine Jeanes, who moved with the indefiniteness and separation of true half-ways, de stined to rock aiin- lessly to and fro with the ship throughout eternity. But are they? Back in the flat the gas streams out of the jet. Their dog ' s nose is at the window. He barks. Here on the ship, they hear it. A crash! He has broken thru. Recalled to life with the new lesson — not by suicide is the escape, but by strensth. WORKSHOP PLAYS In the fall of 1928, the club followed its usual method of try-outs, staging the aspirants in random scenes from various plays. Maxine Jeanes, Helen Clarke. Dorothy Ethel Seaman, and Vaughn Albertson served as directors. The proba- tioners seemed unusually talented, and more than the ordinary number gained probationary membership. During the spring of 1929, a new experiment was undertaken in the way of a workshop production. Overtones, ' a one act play by Ellis Gerstenberg, was given at a meeting of the Club solely for the entertainment of the members. The play itself offered something unusual, and proved aninterestingdramaticstudy.lt was the author ' s idea that the veneer of civilization is only skin deep, and under- neath it flames a barbaric nature in every human being. One side is hypocritically nice, the other roughly frank. And these two selves are continually at war with each other. To bring this out the dramatist has resorted to the novel method of representing each character by two persons. The result is a series of humorous variances between the thoughts of one self and the words of the other. The four feminine roles were filled by Misses Mary Marshall Ferguson, Carmen Lewis, Henrietta Hutcheson, and Mary Hutton. The director, Jimmy Parker, is to be congratulated for the skill with which he worked out the problems which the production presented.

Albertson t: SPECIAL THRESHERS The Class Threshers made their usual appearance on the campus during the month of April. The Senior edition was, for the first time, edited by a co-ed. Evelyn Jane Epley, who has had four years experience on all the Rice publications was the unani- mous choice for this position. Isaac Garrett injected some much needed humor into his edition of the Junior Thresher that bore the impressive but meaningless name The Crusher. The Improved Thresher, ' as it would be improved by the Sophomores, was also edited by a co-ed, Rowena McLaughlin. Elbert Turner made the expected pun on the name of the regular Thresher and called his issue The Fresher. That, however, did not detract from the Freshman edition, which was easily the best of this season ' s productions. The Co-ed Thresher was the perfect chance for the feminine contingent to be radical and get away with it. Charline Lallier was the editor. Tom K. UvLE-i LAWKENUb; llAillLTON THE 1929 CAMPANILE Perhaps you II like this Campanile. It has been very delightful to the staff. Every staff, of course, wishes to create an annual that is entirely new and different in every respect. We didn ' t. That would be impossible, because annuals, after all. must he composed of cer- tain imvariable elements. Some early editor discovered the ideal plan for the Campanile — a plan that is the Campanile — and naturally we did not attempt to change that which we considered close to perfection. Some day an enterprising editor may change that plan, still we wonder if he, or she, can improve upon it. There is nothing heavy or ponderous about this volume. The gay. lyrical art work does not carry any hidden meaning. It is purely decorative. Its charm alone explains it — if you desire an explanation — be- cause there is no definite theme or continuous thread of narrative through it. If we have, in any single instance in this book, caught just one fleeting inood or emotion you, yourself, have felt this past year — then we are happy. = BROWN CRANZ GRAGG HAMILTON JOHN KEHOE LAMKIN LAWHON MCNEILL REYNOLDS RICHTER WILSON THE CAMPANILE Tom E.

He served one year as Hne coach under Heisman, and last year assumed the duties of head football mentor. His contract expired, and, due to differences. Jack Meagher, Notre Dame product who has established an enviable record at Saint Edward ' s University, was appointed in his stead. Russel Pug Daugherity, Illinois man, had little luck in his duties with the basketball team, but his work was exceptionally satisfactory. He is also a compe- tent football instructor. Peanut Schultz, another Illinois man, served as an assistant coach of varsity football, and as head freshman coach. Genial Gene Bailey, baseball coach, has been with the Institute a short time, but his likable personality and the results he is obtaining have cinched his place. Ernie Hjertberg is back with us after a year ' s absence, and is trying to nurse a wonderful track, but woefully weak field team into the Conference champion- ship. If anyone can do it, Coach Hjertberg is the man. F. D. Ashcraft, head of the intramural athletics, has put through a program that has given every student a chance to participate in his favorite sport. He has been eminently successful. H. O. Nicholas has served as freshman football coach for the past year, and Nick is a great developer of men. I: THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL Tlie Committee on Outdoor Sports, commonly known on tlie Rice Campus as tlie Atliletic Association, is composed of four members of the faculty and three representatives of the Alunnii who are members of the R Association. The pur- pose of this Committee is to pass on the eligibility of every athlete that represents Rice in intercollegiate competition, and to approve or refute the recommendations of the coaches in the awarding of the R to athletes who merit the letter. The Athletic Council also chooses the members of the coaching staff and controls the financial expenditures on atiiletics at Rice. The system of accrediting a student at Rice with satisfactory work in liis courses is very different from the system used at other schools of the Conference and most of tlie Conference rules on eligibility are based on tliis foreign system of grading. Because of this, the principal and most difficult task of the Coimcil is the interpre- tation of the Conference Rules to fit the con litions at Rice. The Athletic Council that in the season of 1028-29 fostered great hope for more successful athletics at Rice by their attitude toward the coaches and the athletes, was composed of J. T. McCants. Chairman. II. k. Humphrey, Secretary, Robert G. Caldwell and Hubert Gray, all faculty representatives; from the Alumni the members were A. S. Cle eland. K. K. Kalb. and Dudley .Tarvis. George Martin and Danny Allnoch ATHLETIC AWARDS The annual George Martin award to the most val- uable member of the Rice football squad was won by Danny Allnoch during the season of 1928. The ' 28 season was the last for the hard-working Owl full-back, and a brilliant college football career was brought to a close with his best season during the three years Danny was a member of the Rice team. Playing much of the time with injuries that would have caused many men to be out of the game, Danny was the mainstay of the Owl attack and also held down the aerial kicking assignment. The consistence of All- noch ' s all-around play made him All-Conference ma- terial.

Wee Dick Kerr, one of the greatest heroes of the game, coached the Owls dur- ing the first part of the season, but left in the middle of the year to take over a semiprofessional team. He was ably succeeded by Charley Schwartz, a popular ' ' R man of a few years ago. RESUME OF THE SEASON A M— 12, Rice— 1 A M— 12, Rice— 1 A M— 9, Rice— 5 A M— 4.

Tolle. however, was rated as one of the best short-field- ers in the Conference. Henry Grant rounded out his last year of college baseball in a very acceptable manner. Hank hit well over .300 for the season and was a dan- gerous batter with men on base, besides playing a flawless game in right field. Herbert Furnian held down the initial sack for the Institute nine. Hode played a bang-up game at first, covering a world of territory. His hitting was a factor in every game. Roy Barnes was a power at second base and along with Cliff made a speedy combination around the keystone sack. Zero overcame his inferiority com- plex of the previous season at the plate and caught several on the nose for extra bases. Lawrence Dee Da Camara. Cecil Keith, and Diddly Abies were the main- stays of the Owl pitching staff. Dee was also used in the outfield on several oc- casions because of his hitting ability. Keith and Abies pitched several very credit- able games and should deal the Conference batters plenty of misery next season. Danny Honey-Bov Allnoch easily proved himself the cream of the Confer- ence maskmen, and coupled his stellar work behind the plate with first-class hit- ting. Frank Austin and Dick Dickinson rounded out the outfield and were the speed merchants of the team. Both were left-handed hitters who could be counted on for the innumerable infield hits. DA CAMARA THE TEXAS SERIES Four games lost by one run is the record of this series. The Longhorns scored the winning run in the ninth inning three times, and in the tenth once. At Austin Cecil Keith made his debut in the Conference by holding the Steers runless for seven innings. Dobbs was performing a similar feat for Texas. In the last of the tenth, an error gave Texas the winning run of a 2-1 victory. The second game was an old-fashioned clubbing bout. A four-run rally gave the Owls a 9-8 lead in the ninth, only to have Texas win out in their half of the inning. In Houston the ninth inning was again a jinx, and State won two that way — the first 10-9; and the second, superbly pitched by Abies, 3-2. THE SMU SERIES Rice split the series with SMU with two gratifying victories over Redman Hume, the sensational pitching ace of ' 27. Cecil Keith pitched both of the Owl victories. His first game was one of the best pitched in the Conference during the ' 28 season. Through errors the Owls lost the second game, to which their hitting had entitled them. In Dallas the Mustangs won the first game from Cliff Tolle, 9-4, by a seven-run rally in the eighth inning. Cecil Keith outpitched Hume in the last game, though Abies was needed to stop the Ponies in the ninth.  w ... ■. fjg THE A M SERIES The first home games were with A M. The Aggies went on a batting rampage, winning both games by the top-heavy score of 12-1. Joel Hunt featured the two games with his smashing iiits and beautiful fielding, robbing the Owl batters of many balls which would have otherwise been safeties. At College Station, Rice played much better ball against the Aggies, but the Aggies were again victors in both contests. In the first game, a seven-run rally in the seventh inning turned a 5-2 lead into a 5-9 defeat for the luckless Owls. After allowing four runs in the first three innings of the second game, Cecil Keith pitched no-hit. no-run. baseball for the rest of the game, but Jules Sikes was also right, and A M won the tilt, 4 to 1. THE BAYLOR SERIES The Bears took all four games by large scores, featuring hard hitting and clever pitching. Baylor had by far the best team in the Conference, and only the spell cast over the Bruins by Billy Disch kept the pennant from going to Waco. ' Fuzz Douglas got generous in the two games he pitched and let the Owls have one run and seven hits. He is undoid)tedly one of the best jjitchers the Conference lias seen in vears. and in Jones, Naylor, and Forehand they had an extremely hard- hitting outfield. t: DICKINSON THE TCU SERIES Beating the Horned Frogs was the most consistent thing the Owls did. The Bhie and Grey turned in four victories in four attempts — a rec ord-breaking perform- ance for any modern Owl team. Diddly was the most outstanding performer of the series, winning three of the four games. At Fort Worth, the Owls started in on the Frogs by winning a twelve-inning, 10-8 victory. The next day the Owls were again right, and TCU took the short end of a 7-3 score. Abies ' relief pitching in the first game and his splendid perfor- mance in the second game, coupled with terrific hitting by ToUe, Barnes, Grant, Furman, and Allnoch, gave Rice enthusiasts something to crow over. In Houston, Captain Tolle pitched a 6-5 win over the luckless Frogs, although the hard-working Abies was called upon to stop a determined rally in the ninth. Diddly started the last game and was hit hard. Poor support and base hits gave the Purple and White a large lead, but a pinch hitter for Abies started a nine run rally, and Keith held the Frogs in check the remainder of the game. i:-:n TENNIS 1928 sw BECKENBACH THE 1928 SEASON The nineteen twenty-eight season, although not brilhant, was a successful one for tiie Rice tennis team. The net men emerged victorious from three out of the five dual meets, and when they were hosts to the Conference meet which took place on the splendid new River Oaks Country Club courts, gave their guests a hard-fought and close battle. The team consisted of Barr (captain), Appell (cap- tain-elect), Sloan, Beckenbach. Buhler, Longcope, and Schwarz. Unfortunately for Rice, Tom Barr — naturally an ideal captain — was kept out of play by illness during the greater part of the season. The most satisfying features of the season were the spirit of determination and capacity for hard work displayed by the squad. The result was one of the most successful seasons in recent years, the high point being Rice ' s second place in the Conference meet. Many new enthusiasts have been attracted to this sport because of the commendable showing of this season, whereas in previous years the coaches had only a few candidates to select from for their varsity squad. The increasing in- terest in tennis will no doubt lead to the formation of a record-breaking team in a very short time. Next year the team will feel keenly the loss of the veteran trio, Captain Tom Barr. Edwin Beckenbach, and Herbert Sloan, but will have a prom- ising group in Hess. Schwarz, Black, Prude, McCarthy, and Logan frotn which to fill their places. t: William BILL Smiley, Coach The ' 28 tennis team was ably coached by Bill Smiley who, with football and track letters to his credit, has now added another laurel to his long list of accom- plishments. Three letter men. Captain Barr, Sloan, and Beckenbach will be lost through graduation and their absence will be keenly felt, although they leave behind a fine precedent of sportsmanship and fighting spirit as a heritage to the ' 29 team. Barr played an unusual game, chopping and slicing his ground strokes almost exclusive- ly. His ability to bring his slices off hard to the corners and to keep his chops fast and low made a strong match-winning game out of what is usually a defensive type play. Sloan displayed excellent form on forehand and backhand drives; his service was a hard American twist and his volleying was good, though at times erratic. Beckenbach played a hard game, making apparently impossible returns. His ser- vice was a tricky reverse twist admirably suited to doubles play. He looped his drives slightly, making them difficult to volley. His overhead strokes were es- pecially reliable in the tension of a hard fought match. Morris Appell, captain-elect of the ' 29 team, played in the number one position, a post he has filled in each of the two years he has been out for tennis. His ground strokes were almost flat drives, hit with little back swing, and accurate but not hard. His steadiness, his coolness, his strategy and his control will give confidence to a new team of men in ' 29, and he will make an ideal captain. Longcope, Buhler, and Schwarz also saw some varsity service. The only one of this trio to return next year will be Schwarz, who should make a valuable man. He played an excellent overhead game; hampered only by inconsistency in his ground strokes. PRE-SEASON MEET Rice opened the season early in April by engaging the Grinnell University team on the home courts. Against these strong opponents Rice succeeded in winning two out of the six matches, losing the others by close scores. THE BAYLOR MEET In the fir.st Conference meet of the season. Rice gained an easy victory over Baylor on the Baylor courts, winning by the top-heavy score of five to two. THE A. M. MEET Aggie-land was the scene of the next tennis victory. The Cadets yielded all four singles matches and the doubles matches were halted by rain. THE T.C.U. MEET The concrete courts at T.C.U. proved no hazard to the Owls. The Frogs were overwhelmingly defeated. Rice winning all six matches to duplicate the feat of the 1927 Institute team. t THE S.M.U. MEET The first Conference defeat of the season came from the hands of the Mustangs. The matches were all close and for a while the Owl net men seemed to have the ad- vantage, but the tide shifted and the match ended four to two. THE TEXAS MEET Texas University, boasting the strongest team in its history, and with several stars of national intercollegiate fame, was responsible for the only overwhelming defeat of the Owl season. The University succeeded in winning all six matches. THE CONFERENCE MEET Rice made her best showing of the year in the Conference meet.

ROTHGEB National Intercollegiate shotput champion and ten-second 100-yard dash man; outfielder in baseball: all-time, all-Illinois end; the first athlete to letter in all the major sports at the University of Illinois: the greatest all-round athlete that the University of Illinois ever has had. and. in all probability, will ever have: such is the man who, in the spring of 1928, guided the Rice Owls to the first Conference championship thev have ever won in a major sport — the Track and Field champion- ship of the Southwest Athletic Conference. In addition to iiis accomplishments at his University, he played professional baseball in the major leagues for two years with the Chicago Cubs and with Washington, being forced to retire at the end of that time because of a leg injury received while making football history for his school. Coach Rothgeb has had fifteen years experience in coaching track and field, having coached at the Colorado Agricultural College, at the Colorado College, the University of Illinois, and the Texas A. and M. College before his services were secured at Rice. He has coached only two track teams in the Southwest Confer- ence, the A. and M. squad of 1921 and the Owls of 1928. and both teams were win- ners of the title in those years. The Owls are indeed fortunate in having this man who is one of the most famous all-round athletes this country has ever produced to guide them, for he can lead them not only by his coaching genius, but can bring inspiration by his own per- sonal record.

Hjert- berg, and when he issued the call for candidates early in February, a small group of runners answered, for the most part experienced men, determined to make the season a record of wins. This they did, winning all dual meets with the exception of one, and outclassing the field to win the Conference meet by a safe margin of seven points. Before the Conference season began, the Running Owls acquitted themselves nobly in three big relay meets: Illinois, placing high in the four-mile relay and Marshall Willis winning the 1550 meters special event; in the Texas and Rice re- lays where they won two firsts, two thirds and a second, in addition to Bracey ' s winning the 100-yard dashes at both places. After the Conference season was over, the Owls took their toll of first places in the divisional A.A.U. tryouts at Dallas, in the National Intercollegiate meet at Chicago, and in the Olympic trials at Cambridge. The Rice Owls of 1928 won the team championship in track and field, but they were not content to carry only the team trophy back to their nest; for the mile re- lay of the Owls, composed of Hamilton, Reynolds, Lanikin, and Greer ran away from the field to win the first mile relay trophy of the Southwest Conference to rest in Houston. The relay team looked only mediocre the first half of the season, but improved rapidly and became the class of the field by the end of the spring. CAB NISS GREER WELDON CABANISS In Weldon Cabaniss the Owl track men of 1928 found themselves possessed of the ideal captain, one who had that driving desire to win that was not to be denied. He has been one of the most de- pendable point-getters the Owls have ever had. During the last season, Weldon specialized in his particular forte, in which Coach Hjertberg maintained he had more natural ability than any other man in the Conference: the pole vault. But ' twas not the case, for he is a sprinter as well, and when he was a sophomore he gave evidence of his desire to win for his school by doubling up in the 220-yard dash — an event in which he won on several occasions during the season. As much as the Owls will miss Nelson Greer, they will miss Cabaniss more, for Nelson leaves two men to take his place in the quarter-mile, while around the Owls nest there is a scarcitv of pole vaulters who can even come close to being to the team what Weldon has been during his career at Rice. NELSON GREER The inning of the Conference by his team as a result of his magnificent finish in the mile relay in the Conference meet was a fitting culmination of the glorious career of Joiin Nelson Greer on the Owl track teams in the past three years. Greer entered Rice as a promising yoinig distance man. fulfilling those expectations by winning the Conference mile in 1926. The following fall found him captain of the Conference cross-country team, and the next spring he was running the 440 and the 880 in addition to the anchor lap of the relay. In the spring of 1928, the other three mem- bers of the mile relav team found in him a burn- ing ambition and inspiration which was trans- mitted to themselves and enabled them to beat the strong Texas University team in the dual meet, and the Aggie team in the Conference meet, where Nelson capped his career by a wonderful race against O ' Neal of the Aggies in the relay to beat him and win the meet for his school. EMMETT BRUNSON Rice was fortunate when Emmett Brunson, coming from Central High of Houston with a great scholastic record behind him, decided to enter the Institute, for he has reigned supreme in his events. Such is the man chosen to captain the Owls of ' 29. His career has been marked by a steady succession of victories here and elsewhere, and few indeed are the runners holding the honor of besting him in a scratch race. He will be well able to inspire his teammates by his own past performance and present example. CLAUDE BRACEY In Claude Bracey, Rice has an athlete who has brought more outside notice to her than has any other one agency. Even in high school Claude gave promise of being outstanding in the sprints, and it was with great joy that the news of his en- trance to Rice was received. He has fulfilled the greatest expectations, for he has accomplished unhoped-for things on the track. He began his Conference career with a bang by setting new 100-yard dash records in both the Texas and Rice Relays. From then on his appear- ances on the track have been steady processions of victories, winning the two dashes in every Conference dual meet, and then setting a new record in the former and tying it in the latter in the Conference meet. Two weeks he tied the Olympic record in the 100 meters at Dallas and then went to Chicago to win both dashes in the Intercollegiates, breaking the meet record and tying the world record in the short race, and tying the meet record in the longer. Such a season ' s performance merits attention, though even great- er things are expected of him before he finishes his career at Rice. f= IIOONK ALLliN THE BAYLOR MEET True to form the Running Owls of ' 28 com- pletely overwhelmed the Baylor Bears in the first dual meet of the season to win 87-30. The Owls took every first place on the track and relin- quished only one second, that heing in the high hurdles. In the field events very little was ac- complished, however, the Bears taking three firsts and four seconds to the Owls ' three firsts and four seconds. Brunson and Bracey shared high- point honors with two firsts each. THE A. M. MEET To this day. if one of the track Owls of ' 28 hears mention of the Aggie meet he will shake his head in hewilderment, and mutter, I don ' t know what was wrong that day! Something indeed was wrong, for the Owls lost the meet 67-50, and to a team that was a poor third in the Conference meet. A misunderstanding hy Boone as to the numher of qualifying places in the javelin. Pow- er ' s loss in the jumps, and the failure of the Owls to take places they later won in the Conference cost the hlue and gray squad the meet. As it was Rice took seven firsts and five seconds to A. - M. ' s eight firsts and nine seconds; Rice scoring double victories in the 220-yard and the mile, and A. M. in the high hurdles, discus, broad jump, and javelin. THE TEXAS MEET In a contest, the story of which rivalled even the most imaginative of fiction, the coming Con- ference champions broke the spell the Texas run- ners have always had over them. For weeks be- fore the meet was held it was predicted that the outcome, victory or defeat for the Owls, would depend finally upon the relay team composed of I Hamilton, Reynolds, Lanikin, and Greer. The prediction was valid, for when the lead-off men crouched at their holes waiting for the gun, the Steers were leading the Owls hy a scant two-point margin, and to win the relay was to win the meet. THE TEXAS MEET (continued) Texas, doped to win the meet with yards to spare, lost the lead at the very starting gun, and could not head any one of the flying four through- out the entire mile, and as a result the Rice Owls beat their traditional foes 60-57. A hint of the scoring to be done in the Conference meet could be seen that afternoon when eight of the fifteen first places were marked up on the Rice score card, Bracey winning the two dashes, Brunson the mile and half mile, Hamilton the low hurdles, Chitwood the two-mile run, Cabaniss the pole vault, and the Owl ' s relay quartet the mile relay. One of the outstanding events of the day was the determined fight by Marshall Willis of Rice, who didn ' t know when he was beaten, to take second place in the two-mile after being badly out- distanced by a Texas man for the first half of the race. THE CONFERENCE MEET Since the entrance of Rice into the Southwest- ern Conference it has been the goal of every Rice team in every branch of athletics to be the first to bring home to Houston the coveted champion- ship, but it took the Running Owls of ' 28 to de- liver the record when they won from the other teams in as spectacular a meet as has ever been run off in the Southwest. The scores in this meet for each team were: Rice 53, Texas 46, A. M. 32K, Arkansas 13 , S.M.U. 13i , Baylor 6 , and T.C.U. 0. Outstanding in the meet, with the exception of the eleven men who composed the scoring element for Rice, were: Baldwin, Shep- herd, and Smith of Texas University; Kennedy and O ' Neal of Texas A. M.; Pickel and Tillman of Arkansas; and Brown of S.M.U. Emmett Brunson was high-point man of the meet with a total of twelve points, and what is remarkable is the fact that those twelve points were garnered in the three long races of the meet by his winning first in the half-mile and mile, and third in the two-mile. While making this perfor- mance he set a new record for the half, and tied the mile record. Bracey won both the 100- and HAMILTON CHITWOOD THE CONFERENCE MEET (continued) 220-yard dashes, setting a new record in the for- mer and tying the record in the latter. Had it not been for Bracey. Ernest Weichert would have closed his running career with two wins, and it was only by the merest margin that he lost to Claude. Co-captain Weldon Cabaniss closed his greatest year of competition by a win over his old rival. Hammond of Texas, in the pole vault. Ben Chitwood was another senior to close a most successful season by taking the two-mile event easily, while second in this event and third in the mile were deservedly won by Marshall Wil- lis, a newcomer to the squad and as promising a distance man as Rice has had. When time for the mile relay rolled around, a hasty checking of points revealed to the startled Rice supporters that should the javelin throw go as doped, Texas taking first and Rice second, and the relay result as expected, A. M. first. Rice second, and Texas third, then the Owls would lose the meet to Texas by one point. Whereupon the relay team of Hamilton, Reynolds, Lamkin and ( ireer hitched their respective belts with the same |) sitive hitch that was in evidence in the dual meet with Texas, and with evident determination went out to run. The results are now history! ' Dusty ' Boone, to make the victory more de- cisive, stepped out to make the last javelin throw of the final meet of his college career, and threw the javelin 188 feet and 8 ' 2 inches to beat the best effort of Smith of Texas, thereby putting the first Conference championship Rice has ever won in a major sport securelv away in the great trophy case in the nest of the Owl ' s. OLYMPIC TRIALS AND FINALS Six Owl track men went to the divisional try- outs at Dallas and there accounted for them- selves and their school in great fashion, taking second in team honors, and in addition, winning five first places and setting new meet records in four of them, Bracey in the 100 and 200 meters, Brunson in the 1500 meters and (ireer in the 100 OLYMPIC TRIALS AND FINALS, continued meters, and Cabaniss winning the pole vault but not setting a record. Later the Rice delegation went on to the final trials where Bracey electrified the nation by equaling the world ' s record in the 100 meters twice in the same afternoon. He was forced to run two more times that same day, and the best he could do in the finals was fourth, an occurrence that was almost phenomenal, taking into con- sideration his youth and inexperience. Indeed the track team of ' 28 has earned a memorable place in the Rice Hall of Fame.

We came out pretty well this year, taking first in the 100-yard special eyent and 4-mile relay in both meets, third in the mile and medley at Texas and second in the medley here — Claude was all pepped up when we got to Austin because he thought sure he would win a watch and then when he won the 100 and they brought him out a dinky little clay statue, it nearly griped him to death. I thought I ' d die when he started cussing and raising the devil and damning Texas U. for eyerything he could think of and a few more things, too. I felt sorry for him though, because he had neyer won a watch, all of his wins in high school being rewarded with gold medals, of which he has enough to replenish the national gold supply. He got reyenge the next day, though — walked off from the field to win the Rice Relay watch. Seems like Texas Uniyersity wouhl have giyen him some special award, being as how he had tied the worlds record in the 100 on their track: but then, no one who knows anything about them up there in that God-forsaken hole wonders that they didn ' t.

Rice has never produced a more capable leader than it has in Gus Cranz. His remarkable capacity for leadership first appeared in his fresh- man vear when he was chosen to be cheer leader for his class. The follow- ing year Gus organized the entire student body into one of the outstand- ing rooting sections in the Southwest- ern Conference and won for himself and the Institute an enviable reputa- tion for school spirit that has been equalled onlv by the splendid display of the 28 season. Gus has had infinite energy and patience in the arduous task of building up a spirit that has al- already become one of the most cher- ished traditions at Rice. His unfailing enthusiasm and encouragement have never waned even in the face of defeat. He has skillfully managed all the af- fairs pertaining to pep meet- ings and pep parades, and has assembled fervent crowds of supporters for out of town games. On the field Gus has drawn the utmost of enthu- , siasm from the rooting sec- tion by his forceful appeals and stirring fight talks. Mca - • ' ' • l 4 atofl ai ir r t To John Logan, assistant cheer leader, is due much of the success of Rice ' s rooting section. Many of the tedious details of preparation for mass meetings and parades were executed with his careful assistance and guid- ance. John, with no previous experi- ence as a yell leader, gave a very creditable account of himself during the past season. Working in perfect cooperation with Gus at every game, he soon proved to be much more than just an assistant. This combination could get more out of their small band of supporters than other schools could out of several times the number. To- gether Gus and Johnny made their small group of rooters outyell the student body of the University of Texas, as well as equal the famous yelling cadet corps of A. M. Besides the annual bonfire before the T.C.U. game, the yell leaders added an innova- tion during the game by having the entire rooting section parade down the field during the half and halt before the team to sing Rice ' s Honor. FOOTBALL 1028 Football at Rice was given new impetus in the spring of 27 by the announce- ment that the services of Claude Rothgeb had been secured as Assistant Coach to John W. Heisnian. and after the 27 season, with the appointment of Rothgeb as head coach, hopes for the 28 season soared. Though the 28 season proved to be one of the worst in the history of the school as far as percentage of wins was con- cerned, the team displayed more fight and determination in some of the games than any Rice team has shown in many years, and the Texas and T.C.U. games will long be remembered as two of the best games ever played in this part of the country. A long and successful coaching career made Coach Rothgeb s knowledge of the game highly respected by the other teams of the conference, and his qualities as a gentleman held him high in the esteem of the entire Owl squad. There was much regret among the students as a whole and athletes in particular when Coach Rothgeb resigned because of inability to reach an agreement about personal mat- ters, with the school authorities. Sam Hotialon had; Jumbtci ' Bottom Row: Schoenfield, Knipple, Hyde, Harder, Abies, Doss, Murray, Hanks. Second Row: Garrison, McKinnon, S.

Allen, Ward, Braden. The playing of the 1928 team was very inconsistent and erratic. Some of the most brilliant football ever played in Houston and some of the worst ever seen anywhere was played by this team. The indifferent attitude so apparent in one game would become, a week later, an undeniable determination to win, and the Owls would battle a much stronger opponent to a standstill. After two years of invaluable service on Rice teams, George Murray and Joe Knipple closed their colorful careers as Co-Captains of the ' 28 team. Both men were All-Conference material during their three years playing for Rice, and their inspiring leadership during the ' 28 season was not indicative of the small number of victories. Trinity end run stopped by Power I THE SAM HOUSTON GAME During the pre-season training of the 1928 Rice football team, the coaches stressed the value of blocking, and their efforts were well rewarded in the opening game against Sam Houston State Teachers College. The Owls displayed a fast, hard-running game and impressed critics and sports writers so much that their favorable comments on the Rice team made one hope that the Institute had over- come the jinx that has been with us these many years. With Jones. AUnoch. and Murray running beautiful inteference, Ward circled the Bearkat ends several times for sensational gains, while the entire forward wall of the Owls opened holes almost at will, to let the shifty Braden through into the Sam Houston secondary, where he proved himself to be a broken-field runner of merit. The score would probably have been much more one-sided than 2-t to 6, but for three fumbles by the Rice backfield within the Sam Houston 15-yard line.

The only time during the game that the Owls displayed anything like the drive they had shown against Sam Houston was on the first play, when Ward circled the Saints ' right end be- hind a perfect formation of interference for a gain of 45 yards. Led by the powerful Jansing, the Saints plastered a 31 to defeat on the Owls. THE TRINITY GAME Barry Holton brought his Trinity Tigers to Houston to give the Owls their sec- ond test against the Notre Dame style of football, but they did not fare as well as the Saint Edwards team had the week before. The Owls seemed to be playing an on-and-oif schedule and the irresistible running attack so effective against Sam Houston in the opening game of the season was used again to good advantage. Murray finds an opening in the S.M.U. line f HERTING HYDK BL (:kST( K THE TRINITY GAME (continued) This running attack was enhanced by the first show of a Rice passing attack for the 1028 season, and with Allnoch and Abies doing some accurate passing, the Rice receivers had httle difficulty in catching several long ones for very helpful gains. The 20 to 6 victory of the Owls over the Trinity team somewhat compen- sated the Rice supporters for the miserable showing in the Saint Edwards game and enthusiasm ran high for a victory over S.M.U. in Dallas the following week. THE S.M.U. GAME The Mustangs not only told the world through their coach and the newspapers tliat they considered Rice a set-up, but they proved it by defeating the Owls very impressively 53 to 13 at Dallas on October 20. The Rice team, resentful of the very uncomplimentary remarks made about them by the S.M.U. coach, went on the field to tackle tiie Mustangs an angry and fiercely-determined squad, but this de- termination and resoluteness was soon dampened by effortless scoring by the Ponies.

It was probably the realization of that and the determination of the Owls to redeem themselves for their poor showing against the Saints and the Ponies that made them play Texas to a standstill and hold the champion Longhorn team to a 13 to 6 score. It was in this game that the true strength of the 1928 team was first revealed, and had that strength been accom- panied by a little consistency, the number of losses and victories for the season would probably have been interchanged. Approximately ten thousand football fans turned out to watch the highly praised Longhorn team follow their coach ' s instructions and run up a larger score on the Owls than the Mustangs had done at Dallas. Some critics conceded the Texas team an easy victory, the score depending on the number of times the Longhorn backs would be able to run the length of the field! These same critics were the most frenzied supporters of the Rice team when Rice holds Southwestern on Owl one-Yard line f the long end runs by Stoppel and the irresistible phinges of Alhioch and Murray made an Owl victory seem possible and probable. The husky Longhorn line was run around and through with surprising fre- quency, and during the first twenty minutes of battle the Owls not only scored a touchdown, but held the Texas team outside the Owl forty-yard line. A doubtful Rice fumble late in the second quarter was scooped up by the alert Hughes of Texas and run to the Owl 20-yard line before it was stopped. A des- perate attack bv the Longhorns carried the ball over to tie the count at 6 to 6 for the first half, and the winning score for Texas was battled over early in the third quarter. The fight and determination of the entire Owl team was very gratifying to the coaches and student body of the Institute and will long be remembered. THE SOUTHWESTERN GAME For the second time in three years the Southwestern Pirates of Georgetown de- feated the Owls on Rice field. The Owls seemed to have experienced a let-down Famed line plunging of T.C.U. slopped by Owls ■ HARDER KENNKDY WARD after their game fight against Texas, and although warned repeatedly by the coaches that it would be no easy task to win over the Pirates, they entered the game apparently indifferent as to whether they won or lost. This fatal attitude the Pirates were quick to take advantage of, and did the conventional thing of win- ning over the Owls 14 to 6, for the benefit of the many Southwestern Alumni who, sensing a Pirate victory, had declared the day to be Home-coming Day for South- western Ex-es. THE A. M. GAME A weak defense against forward passes was not only largely responsible for the loss to Southwestern, but was also the cause of a decisive loss to the Aggies at Col- lege Station two weeks later. As the passing attack of the Owls developed and reached its climax in the T.C.U. game, the Rice defense against passes became worse, and opposing teams used the aerial game with marked success against the Owls. The Rice line was functioning poorly, and the secondary defense had the difficult task of breaking up both the elusive running attack of the Aggies and the unerring passes of their backs. This being next to impossible, the Aggies passed and ran their way to a 19 to victory over the Owls. A. M. scores on a long end run MCCARBLE THE T.C.U. GAME Rice renewed football relations with T.C.U. in 1928, the year that produced the strongest Horned Frog squad in the history of the school. The Frogs brought to Houston a steam-roller type of game that had swept all opposition before it and piled up a record of victories for the Fort Worth school of which any college could well be proud. The Owls completely stopped this crushing attack and forced the Frogs to resort to a desperate and daring aerial game to nose Rice out in the fourth quarter of the game, 7 to 0. For three quarters the Frogs pounded a stubborn Owl defense, hoping it would crumble or wear down, but when the Rice team stopped them on the Owl two- yard line in three attempts in the third quarter, the Frogs realized the futility of such an attack against the remarkable defense of the Owls and unloosed a decep- tive passing game that scored their lone touch-down. Bruden gels loosp against Baylor Murray catches xiss againsi YV.vos THE BAYLOR GAME The annual Thanksgiving Day game with Baylor found the Owls giving freely but not thankfully. The Owls started the game very slowly, and the Bears scored two touchdowns on two spectacular runs of 60 and 65 yards, with not a Rice man touching the Baylor ball carrier on either play. The Bears scored one attempt dt goal, giving them a 13-point lead that the Owls could not overcome. If the Rice defense had been more determined in these first few minutes of play, the large Home-coming Day crowd that filled the stands at Rice Field would probably have been rewarded with a Rice victory, since after the first four minutes of the game the Owls scored 14 points while the Bears scored only 12 points. Neither team showed a defense that compared with the spectacular offense flashed by both teams, and as a result it was an intensely exciting game, featuring a daring Owl passing game and a fast running attack by the Bears. Murray, Knipple, Schoenfield, Allnoch, Hyde, Herting, Abies, Blackstone, McKinnon, and Payne closed their football careers at Rice in this game and left vacancies on the team that will be hard to fill in 1929.

DAUGHERITY, Coack THE CONFERENCE SEASON When prospects and possibilities are compared with actual results, the basket- ball season of 1929 was an unfortunate one. Though inexperienced, for the most part, the squad as a whole possessed marked ability, but the combination of green- ness and consistent hard luck served to bring the Owls to the bottom rung of the Conference ladder. Of the twelve Conference games played, five were lost by one-point margins, and three by four points or less. This fact, with the sickness of Shpack and Thomas and the myriad of ailments that attacked Kendrick in series, are the alibis that might be offered for the team ' s poor showing. On the other hand, it must be admitted that the team was erratic — at one time they literally donated a game to the mediocre T.C.U. five; at another they put up an inspired brand of play against the powerful Texas team that missed victory by a single goal scored in the last minute of the contest. In only three games did the team display their real capabilities: the second game with A. M., the second game with Texas, and the last game of the season, with Baylor. t: VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD, 1929 Front Roiv: Thomas, McCarble, Hess, Stoppel, Shpack.

SHPACK — Playing his first year of varsity bas- ketball, this quiet, heady forward ' s services were lost to the squad during the first part of the sea- son because of an attack of pneumonia. The mag- nitude of the loss was amply demonstrated by his performance when he returned to the line-up in February. Against the bewildering attack of the phenomenal Arkansas team, Shpack was the only member of the Owl five who refused to be daunted. Not until the latter part of the season did he fully recover his strength: in the second game with Baylor he played a truly great offen- sive part. In spite of his sickness he placed third on the squad in scoring, with a total of 57 points. n ZUBER — the dependability of this hard-work- ing guard was such as to inspire the confidence of team mates and spectators alike. Zuber ' s one year of varsity experience made him a veteran on Rice ' s sophomore team, and as such his defensive play was invaluable, not only from the stand- ])oint of individual performance but also for his influence over the tactics of his less seasoned fel- lows. His absence in the latter half of the first game with T.C.U. was one of the important fac- tors which enabled the Horned Frogs to stage a surprising come-back for a victory: for with his departure from the floor Rice ' s defense crumbled. BANNER — This lanky sophomore ' s un- erring abihty to bunt the ball into the bas- ket from anywhere in the vicinity of the back- board made him a valuable cog in Rice ' s scoring machine. The extreme seriousness of Banner ' s attitude toward his responsibilities at the center position sometimes led him into nervousness, but in spite of this mental handicap he was an outstanding performer throughout the season. Five days after be- ing consistently outjumped by Caudel at A. M., he came back in the second game with the Aggies to take the tip-off from the same opponent with equal regularity, and his improvement was largely responsible for Rice ' s victory in the second contest. McCARBLE — One of the fastest men on the squad, the whirlwind rush of Mac ' s play spelled trouble for the most able of his op- ponents. It was a delight to the Rice rooters to see him start from a standstill on a flash- ing dribble toward the enemy goal, launch- ing himself into full speed, it seemed, at a single step. The very dash of his tactics of- ten got him into trouble, and the Owl offen- sive was sometimes weakened when he was evicted on personal fouls. He was second on the squad in individual scoring, with a total of 60 points; against S.M.U. he tallied 16 times, and contributed 14 points to Baylor ' s defeat here. MCCARBLE Hess shooting free goal HESS — Fourth ia individual scoring in a Conference race which included such his- tory-making stars as Brock of Texas and Pickel and Schoonover of Arkansas, this speedy little sophomore was the main at- traction for local basketball fans when the Rice team took the floor. He was one of the four men in the Conference who passed the century mark in scoring; 103 points accrued to Rice ' s total by means of his dexterous heaves. He scored 19 points in the second game with A. M., and was high-point man in several other Conference games. His work at forward was such as to win for him a place on at least one all-Conference se- lection; a second team position was cer- tainly no less than he deserved. In fact, one might well say that he was crowded into that place by the unusual competition of such men as are enumerated above — all veterans at the game. Just before the tip-off KENDRICK— Captain of the team, Bud- die was the axis about which the Rice basketball machine revolved. His specialty as a guard was in taking the ball from the enemy ' s backboard — he regularly ended the melee following an opponent ' s shot by emerging from the confusion of thrashing arms with the ball in his hands, to pass it outside the danger zone. The only senior on the squad, his playing bore all the earmarks of the seasoned veteran; cool, aggressive, and singularly free from personal fouls. Throughout the season he was hounded by a constantly recurring series of boils that often made the game no less than agonizing, but in spite of the handicap he won for him- self a place as one of the outstanding play- ers of the Conference. Against A. M. and Baylor his work was particularly praise- worthy; at no time during the season was he deserving of serious criticism. KENDRICK L OTHER !$PORT!$ O C:.

Brunson and his squad, getting off to a slow start, gradually gathered speed as the season grew to an end and finished the year in a tie with the Aggies. The team, without a coach, defeated S.M.U., A. . M., and Texas in dual meets, and tied A. M. for the championship, a feat that is most commendable.

BROUN COLEMAN, WALL. THE TUMBLING TEAM Led by Captain Rivers Patout, the tumbling team of 1929 made a name for themselves that will long be remembered. During the football season they enter- tained the crowds at the games between halves with their daring and finished acrobatic performances. They also appeared at a number of the basketball games and other events, where their talents were much in demand. Late in the spring their work was rewarded by coveted theatrical recognition, and they were booked for a week ' s engagement at the Palace Theater in Houston. Members of the squad, who received letters were Captain Rivers Patout, Davidson, Henderson, Wall, Renn, Cummings, Coleman, and Brown. ?7 . . ' j4 5?l!?fe ' IK? - ,i{s£.

' • ■ Slime Captain Jones in Action FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Unfortunately this year ' s varsity squad in football was exceptionally small and the slimes of 1928 served the greater part of the season as the foreign team. The freshmen faced their trying job of learning a new set of plays every week and being pounded day after day by the varsity men, with admirable courage and persist- ence. Because they had to serve as th e foreign team for their superiors the slime season was limited to two games. In the first game the Edinburg Junior College showed the frosh a few tricks, the score ending 25-0 for the Junior College crowd. After this game Peanut Schultz took over the directorship of the Green Owls and in their final game they ran wild, winning an easy victory over the Houston Junior College to the tune of 45-9. Outstanding on the freshman squad were Cap- lain Jones, a plunging triple threat man; Ken Lee, the fastest man on the Rice football field this year: ' Rusty Russell, a very dependable quarterback; and Harry jNorman.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The freshmen cagers. strengthened this year by the addition of a regular coach under coach Peanuts ' Schultz, enjoyed a most successful season. The slimes were defeated only twice and these two setbacks were by very strong teams. It took the frosli to administer the only defeat of the season to the powerful Casey Athletic Club of Houston. Notable performers on the basketball team of the class of 1932 were Ray Hart, chief offensive ace and high-point man, Harry Norman, elongated center, and Fred Hart, a guard par excellence. THE FRESHMAN TRACK TEAM The freshmen track men, though never appearing in meets, are due quite a bit of credit. It is the slimes that pace the varsity in some of their trying workouts. Next year the varsity squad will be strengthened a great deal by the addition of such slime track men as Turkey Reed, hurdler, Ray Harbour, quarter-miler. Dick Baldry, field man, Hopkins, pole-vaulter, and Rogers, dash man. DORM FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL Inlraiiiiiral football was postponed this vear until spring because of the early -tart of the basketball season. The league was composed of only two teams, one from the dorms and one from town. It was stipulated before season that each team x as to practice at least two weeks, with Bush Jones as coach of the dorm team and (Iharlie ard and Nick Hyde the coaches of the town team. Men were called and iM|ui])ment issued immediately following the exams. In the first game the dorm men showed to a good advantage in displaying a good all-round team, especially in running and passing attack. The final score was 20-0. ■y diJ ' f. , , D lf.;V ! TOWN BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Intramural basketball was started about the middle of November. The league at first was composed of twelve teams, each entrance in the dormitories having a team, as well as the different sections of town. This schedule was followed out until the beginning of the regular varsity season, when many of the men playing on the teams went out for freshman or varsity teams, making it necessary to cut the league membership down to four teams. VARSITY GOLF During the season of ' 28 the varsity golf team engaged in several dual meets with other college teams, and met with nominal success. In the Conference meet Dan Smith was runner-up, and was awarded a letter in golf for his splendid work. STURGES, ANDREWS, GREENWOOD, BAKER, SMITH, ILLIG, and GAMMAGE.

For no good reason at all, and for several reasons. A casual, disinterested glance into a very dirty crystal (it would have to be very, very dirty to depict what we see) which we have before us, pictures faintly a blond-headed gentleman, and a lady enfolded by the gentleman ' s arms — Mr. Gilbert and Miss Garbo stuff. Alas, the crysta l becomes cloudy, but not before we see the reflection of a pale moon on a quiet sea. It seems to the Rack, that such an episode would bring the young lady ' s nose to the ground a bit, might make her a trifle sym- pathetic with the common herd. But alas, alas. (Ninety percent of the co-eds will take this as personal.) Might we mention with a disgusted tone in our voices, the attempt at something or other, of C. M. Matthews, M. Stewart, C. Lewis, etc., wdth their bare legs, brown, knobby and otherwise, adjective, adjective, adjective. The Rack, even hating to honor the gentleman, by the mere mention of his name, yawns boredly, and remarks aside, concerning the negativeness of Mr. Mc- Neir ' s personality, and evolution of his so-called radicalism, to pure dullness. We even yawn again. The Rack is at last satisfied — John Rose has found a use for himself. A nnouncer for track meets. His booming voice, his attractive male personality, qualifies him perfectly. And we are personally thankful. He can ' t possibly be as annoying there as elsewhere. An offensive thought comes to our mind — some person. The name? Carter? Carter?? Oh yes. Bob Carter. Oh Hell.

GUY W EBU %k NNE HEYCK CLEO SEGREST Cleo Segrest should un- doubtedly be remembered in this section, if for no other reason than she goes with that damn boy. Nevertheless she put the May Fete over in big style, making it funnier than ever. She is also known to have thumbed her nose at Dr. Lovett. Clara May Matthews ' bid lies in the number of cars she is seen driving. One instant she drives past in a Graham-Paige coupe, a bit later in a Packard roadster, at another time in a Pack- ard sedan. Once in a while she appears in a Ford coupe but climaxes that by driv- ing up later either in a Packard touring, or a Cad- illac sedan. Edward Gragg, commonly known as Edwin Gregg, will always be remembered for his publicity stunt in pulling a John Alden on his room-mate, and giving the Women ' s Council a bigger rush than Wendell Ham- rick.

MATTHEWS I BILLY TERRELL GREEK LETTER FRATERNITIES AND THEIR MEMBERS AS THEY WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AT RICE Kappa Kappa Gamma: To this sorority would belong nianv of our so-called F.F.O.H. girls, that is. those whose grandfathers settled in or nearabout Houston and ran saw mills, fish markets, vegetable wagons, etc. The Kappas are noted for their cellar gang. meaning the nearly to- tal percentage of their number who always are hidden in the cellar or the attic when one or two of the more for- tunate sisters have dates. Bonner Sewell. being a Kappa from State, would naturally belong to the Rice Chapter. They would have to affiliate her. However, she is more or less the type, studious, reverent of profs, wears a coat from New York along with flat heeled brogan oxfords, and seldom speaks to any of the popu- lace. (That is probably on acct. of the nigger chauffeur). Rosalee Smith would be another proverbial Kappa, being on the same general plan as the above mentioned. However, she drives a Packard road- ster, present of a rich grandma, and rates many rides with some of the best known thugs of the Institute on ac- count of it. Rosalee doesn t go out much to school affairs, because she hasn t yet come out formally. This is a prime requisite of a Kappa. Sis .John would be the Kappa who sent the rest of them to the cellar. She would be the chapter s main hope in social recognition. While the rest of the girls studied to keep up the chap- ter average. Sis would make dates and rate the dances to keep up the chap- ter s front. Sis was a pledge at State. Pi Beta Phi: The Pi Phis are internationally known as the girls who rate. Thev are also known as the best gold diggers in collegiate circles. In fact it has been said that their pins should be shovels instead of arrows. Nevertheless, they are the girls most rushed by fraterni- ties, and most hushed by the Dean of Women. To this group would belong Doro- thy Dunn and Dorothy Dionne. Both can be counted on to make whoopee any ole time, and both have cars and money and characteristic back- grounds. Dionne is a little inclined to snootiness but the rest of the chapter would soon take that out of her, be- cause all Pi Phis get around and snootiness is not tolerated. Kay Logue and Mary Tallichet are also the Pi Phi type, the latter having been a pledge at State. Both have the necessary cars, etc. However, it is doubtful whether they would make Pi Phi at Rice on accoinit of their un- friendly relations with the rest of the lowly cohorts of the school. Evelyn Epley is already a Pi Phi, having been i nitiated at Washington University. Little more can be said, except that her attempt at crashing Phi Beta Kappa wasn t so good. Bernice Ludeau would he one of the mainstays of the Rice chapter, that is if she hadn ' t brought out the ring. Still, it is a well known fact that Pi Phis can hardly sleep for the fra- ternity pins on their pajamas, and who knows how long Ludeau had her ring before she wore it in public? t- Kappa Alpha Tbeta: Here is where we get a whack at all of the good girls of the Institute, the ones who don ' t smoke or kiss boys or pull up their socks in public. But who try hard to be little Pollyannas and get their lessons and have buffet sup- pers on Sunday nights. Mary Lou Goss would probably head the chapter with Lynn Foster running her a close second. Jessie Robinson could qualify for membership and bring up the grade average. Margaret Dunn is the perfect Theta type, cute and all but sort of unsure about things, and not exactly sophisti- cated. As for men ' s fraternities, there are plenty of specimens around-abouts. Sigma Alpha Epsilon: Here we have the supposedly typi- cal college man, well-dressed, a little blase, and with endless sources of money, and a swank car. There are none at Rice. Phi Delta Theta: The best fraternity in the mid-west could boast of a large chapter of rep- resentative men from Rice. Here we have the all-around good fellow, the kind who holds public offices and stands in with the Dean, as well as having a following of co-eds. Stuart Lamkin, the Greek God, who will chauffer from a Buick on up to a Cadillac, and who loves school politics to the extent of being a fifth year man, would certainly be a Phi Delt. Bert Peckham, or a study in Pack- ards, should be one of the privileged few. However, his little scroll and sword would not remain for long on the left hand side of his vest. Edwin Joe Shimek, the Engineer who got elected president of the Senior Class, could list his outstanding cam- pus wreck among his many qualifica- tions for Phi Delt. He would also be very much fitted to sing the fraternity song, My Phi Delta Bungalow of Dreams. Graham Flynn of the La Salle and motorcycle might have a difficult time deciding between S.A.E. and Phi Delt. However, we ' ll accord him a place in the latter on account of his whole- souled democratic spirit. Russell Lee Jacobe would be pledged on account of his track ability and his good looks. However, the brothers wouldn ' t allow him to tease innocent little Freshman girls. Beta Theta Pi: Here we have the men who think they are God ' s gift to women. Thev are drilled with the paddle from the time thev are pledges to believe that they aie the power and kingdom come. There are too many of these men on the campus to list, but there is room for a few here. Among them we find: Danny Allnoch, who ruined himself simply by getting upstage. Who can make millions playing football any- more, anyway? Red Granges are out of style now. Danny lost much of his charm when he lost his childlike naivete and acquired a veneer of non- chalance. Johnny Logan, who needs must frown and the women (or is it wom- an?) bow.

Thev do not wear masks. After liohling us up, they invariably tiiumb their noses at us. because we are at their mercy and can not reach for a gun instead of a sweet. Is that nice? There are the bandits who dehvcr papers at your door, in order that your neigh- bors mav put their feet on your bed and read it in comfort. At odd moments they pop up without warning and present a bill for several months. For extra spite they bring the paper early on Sunday morning, and to remind us that it is larger than usual, throw it down hard enough to wake the dead. And the cleaning-and-pressing lads: If one is quaint enough to gripe about the wav his clothes are cleaned and shrunk, the ink spots are immediately enlarged and the pants shrunk to a size that is too small for one s room-mate. After three vears at the old Institute you learn that if you complain to the laundrv about the loss of a tux collar, you will surely lose a shirt. If you are quiet and acquiescent, holes are torn in your laundry just to show you how insignificant you are. There are a few. yes a very few, who rate well enough to get their money ' s worth at the canteen. In case they do. they get a dime ' s worth for ten or fifteen cents, provided they want a coke or some flat drink made with artificial flavoring. If one cares to play safe while visiting the canteen, tho, order matches. They are always good and often strike. The school publications have long been suspected of a little inider-handed work. There is very little doubt about the weekly Blah-Blah ' s abilitv to swindle the student body. They are not only using cheaper paper, but have reduced the sub- ject matter (if possible), and increased the advertising space. What little subject matter is used is quite obviously a space filler and nothing more. And thev go on forever — never graduate (why should they ' : ).

Waldo Thundergod McNeir too late to save organization Waldo Thundergod McNeir made another radical statement recently to the ef- fect that the Dramatic Club had not gone to hell. A rumor seemed to be out con- cerning the relations of the Dramatic club and the intelligentsia. The president of said club heard some ignorant, illiterate, half-witted student of the average type state that the club had gone to hell. lie immediately became violently wrathful and felt the primitive urge to defend his cohorts. Hence the common herd was per- mitted to read thundergod ' s statement on the bulletin board the next morning. The cloisters were filled with laughter and joy. for even the most insignificant of the common herd appre- ciated the irony of the situ- ation. The idea of Waldo God McNeir trying to save the dramatic club from go- ing to hell, when everyone knew that it had alread gone to hell, long ago. The bov in one of these pic- tures goes tvith the girl in the other, and the other couple should go to- gether. I LOVE LETTERS OF MARJORIE NICKS Flower of my heart (That means you.

Commencement is on . . . October first . . . : THE EDITOR ' S PAGE What a delightful surprise! I really did not expect to get this far . . . and I never could have without a lot of greatly appreciated cooperation. Not that the assistant editor had anything to do with it (but I do suspect him of trying to get the 1930 Campanile out on the campus before this one final- ly did appear) . . . but other people did help a lot. A great many of those that did not do anything at least offered their company during the small, but not so silent hours of the early morning. I am even indebted to the Houston Fire De- partment for it ' s assistance. Evelyn Byers Bessell is entitled to all the credit for the art work. There has never been a more pleasant artist to work with, I am certain. Her very keen interest and enthusiasm have made her invaluable to this Campanile as it has to many previous Campaniles. Bill and Ed and Mac were never failing participants in whatever the editor desired to do ... in fact, they even en- couraged him in doing a lot of things . . . and going places . . . and seeing . . . well, whatever it is that one sees . . . Pat ' s efficiency and ambition absolutely shocked me, she wasn ' t satisfied with working herself, so she tried to reform the editorial staff . . . and I think she may have succeeded ... at least here is the Campanile, and that may, or may not be, something. Perhaps you have noticed that in none of the organiza- tions you find pictures of Seniors in caps and gowns mixed with pictures of under classmen. Thanks a lot. Seniors. Maybe I ' ll do something for you some day. Larry has been a perfect business manager. The most pleasant part of the work on this year ' s annual has been the associations, and Larry, and Bill, and Mac, and Ed, and Griff, and Nancy, and Julienne, and Sis, and Pat, and Gus, have been the associations. What they have done is more than appreciated, and I am greatly indebted to them, . . . and so are you . . . they put out the Campanile. , . .- f The Traditions of An Institution As traditions grow around a college or university, so are they formed about a business institution, as its conduct of atfldrs and its contact with its customers establish its character.

Not vulgarly dis- played wealth . . . but sufficient to cover any normal want. And they never asked for cash . . . never had to scrimp until a letter went home . . . but just had enough and were considered good managers. Perhaps it wasn ' t entirely good management on their part ... it might have been careful planning by their parents, who early in the student ' s life, created a living trust to insure just such independence as was later a fact. The operation of a living trust is simple, it may be created at any time and with great mobility of operation, provide regular and cer- tain income for living purposes. It may be that some of you plan a year or two of travel before get- ting into life ' s work, or you may contemplate post graduate courses at famed universities. A living trust will insure absolute freedom from financial worry and leave a free mind for the study of things you desire. Why not talk this over with the folks and investigate the plan now.

We select your own Campanile to bear our invitation, appreciating that every student and alumnus will here receive it, not only now, but in years to come when you shall again and again turn its pages to review and live over again those happy days of the campus and class room. But please accept it as coming direct to you as an individual, just as we would give it verbally if we were afforded the opportunity. Whether you are an alumnus who has run the course of class- room and laboratory, or a senior about to go forth in the com- mencement of life to realize your ambitions, or an undergraduate that is still in the joy of school life — the invitation is personal to you, each time you read it on this page. You have certain ambitions which you wish to realize in this life. You appreciate the necessity of being prepared that you may- be ready when the big opportunities come your way. By per- severance in your studies you have trained your minds to think so that you may get the right perspective of life and each individ- ual problem you meet. You are now ready to specialize in the particular line of endeavor you may choose as a vocation. In present day affairs of men, regardless of what profession, business or trade you may elect to pursue, you will find it neces- sary to acquaint yourself in the subject of finance. It is one subject in the school of life in which you must major if you would succeed. Everyone acquires money during his life — it is he that knows what to do with it, how to make it work for him, who realizes his ambition. Come in at your convenience and discuss this subject of finance with one of our officers, in an impersonal way, just as you would talk with one of your instructors on a subject you desired to more thoroughly understand.
