' ' ■}} ' ' i | NE of the best friends I ever had I never knew, except from hearsay, and .. A . as pictured from time to time in my own imagination. ' -W I had heen attracted to him I know not how: vet so strongly, that sift- ' ••!.. ••■ i ' -.. .!•• ' ' ' n S ' ' ' wheat from the chaff of what men said about him. I had evencon- ||!ii:{iih{i||| strutted a skeleton of his life; and I had longed to meet him in the flesh. 1 hail met men like him. like him in the backgrounds of his people, like him in the en- vironment of his youth, like him in the circumstances of his maturer powers, and like him. too. in the seemingly easy, hut willful, meeting and mastering of the chances and changes of life. In due time I came to acknowledge his leadership, even as he acknowledged the leadership of others, for alike in his doubts and in his decisions he always sought counsel of men dead and living, hut only in the end to do his own thinking. For his was the sort of leadership that commands the heart by convincing the head. Its illuminating appeal was to the reason of mind, and to tilings reasonable to men. If thus an intellectual leadership, it was none the less a mystical one; and this, it always seemed to me, was the secret of its power over me. For him, science more than politics was changing the face and future of the world, while what men call let- ters was to him as large as life: and in each he found full play for the aesthetic sense within him. Reason and religion, science and service, he could dissociate in study and laboratory; nevertheless thev met harmoniously in the chapel of his conscience, the sanctuary of his spirit. In my desire to be like him, I came to liken myself to him. part and parcel of all that shall be. of a destiny reckoned in thousands of years. He had knowledge of what was. and what is. but these things were of significance to him only for their bearing on what may be and what shall be. He thought he would live always, and had faith he stood where earths foundations stand. In the borderland of opinion, between faith and knowledge, he could suspend judgment and with pa- tience seek and await more light. It was towards such a goal of light that this friend and leader allured me. even as men have been drawn by quest of Holy Grail, or promise of truth, or legend of gold. His name ' . ' ' He has as many names as you have. He is the man within each of us that each of us aspires to be. It has been the business of this place to bring him out, and I confidently expect to see this friend and leader in each of you attain to fullness of stature and noble achievement. With confidence. I say. because I have known something of him from hearsay, and as pictured from time to time in my own imagi- nation, and I still hope, by the grace of God, to meet him.— jEdfiar Oilfll Lovetl ' ■ EDGAR ODELL LOVETT, PH I).

Starting with the clear purpose of printing the news. The Thresher editorial staff remained consistent throughout the thirty-two issues of the university newspaper. Attractive front-page makeups provided one of six significant features of a new Thresher policy. Style variety was given the paper through the use of black line streamers, and a nice utilization of the luws of journalistic contrast and balance. An exceptional amount of art work furnished tone and character to the makeups. Through December. The Thresher had run twice as many cuts as all the combined issues of any other single year. Prominent students on the campus were featured in the art. The introduction of a new type — eight point Textype — was the chief mechanical innovation. This was the first change of type in the sixteen years existence of the Thresher. Besides adding to the neatness of the paper, the Textype was available in six and nine point sizes, with bold face and italics. The change u as made February 20. in the first edition following the mid-term examinations. Class editors and business managers this year were appointed, after the issue editor system introduced for the regular editions of The Thresher had proved a rousing success. The respective editors justified the faitli expressed in their selection by putting out editions, which though making no attempt at sensationalism, never- theless were sound, constructive bits of newspaper work. Particularly notable were the Senior and Freshman editions, the first and the last, as it were, of the special class editions. The staffs of the issues were: Senior, appearing April 3.

The old Little Theatre building was rented and renamed the Rice Playhouse. The cluli began activities for the year under the capable leadership oi Carmen Lewis, second girl to be president ol the club. The club was able to reach large numbers of Houston people with t lie presenta- tion of the famous Hen Greet Flayers under the clubs auspices at the City udi- torium on November I. Twelfth Night was presented in the afternoon and Hamlet ' at night on November I. each to a lull house. Three major productions for the year were staged. In addition to these, the Annual One- Act I ' lav contest was held in Februar . New talent was discovered in workshop plays during the year. The club took in six new members. Martha Ellen Williams. Helen Batte. John Hannon, Margaret Allerton, Margaret Wright, and Jane Amcrman. The membership roll showed forty -five active members and nineteen probationers, making a total membership of seventy. The organization was unfortunateh without a director for two thirds of the school year, a student and able actor James Parker directing the Fall production witli Mr. James Chillman, faculty advisor, rendering valuable service. Later the club was fortunate in securing the friendship and co-operation of Mr. R. R. Adcock, a Houstonian, who ablv directed the Winter and Spring productions. • I THE CIRCLE The Rice Dramatic Club opened a very successful season with the interesting play. The Circle, written by Somerset Maugham anil said to be bis best. Ibis play was presented on the nights of November 21.22 and 23 at the Rice Playhouse 808 Anit a, to enthusiastic and appreciative audiences. The play was under the clever directorship of James L. Parker, student and vice-president of the club, a regular director not yet having been obtained. The Circle derives its name from a plot into which is woven a theme of elope- ment which repeats itself in two generations. The acting honors go to .lames L. Parker, who plaved Lord Porteous who gave up a political career for love, to Ruth Wheelan, who played the difficult role of Lad Kittv Champion-Cheyney, the touching and once-beautiful woman vsbo bad broken with convention, to Lida Arnold in the character of Elizabeth Champion-( Iheyney, beautiful and roman- tic, to Hermann Lloyd in the role of Teddie Luton, adventurer and lover of Elizabeth, and to Thomas M. Browne as Lord Arnold Champion-Cheyney, the unfortunate husband who lost Elizabeth because bis main interests were politics and antique furniture. Less important but equally well-done roles were carried by Hill Clarke as Lord Clive Champion-Cheyney, the suave, sophisticated English Lord and by Julienne Sakowitz as Mrs. Shenstone. the house-guest. Servant roles were filled by Joe Aleo and James A. Beelev. n excellent stage staff contributed much to the success of the production. Kuth Sorrells was assistant technical director. Corinne Crawford was scenic direc- tor and her assistants were John llannon. Scott Lee Ililil and Charles Farrington. Jack Bringburst was stage manager assisted by P. W. Mercer and Earnesworth Calhoune. Properties, costumes and make-up were in the hands of Dorothy Dreaper. Marion Seaman and Scott L. Hild. The Circle ■Till; ROMANTIC YOUNG LADY By far the most charming anil most excellently acted production of the year was the club ' s interpretation of Sierra Martinez clever and delightful play, The Romantic Young Lady. This play had a unique Spanish atmosphere and setting which afforded the players an opportunity for delicacy of interpretation. It was presented at the Rice 1 ' lavhouse. 80K Anita, on the evenings of March 19 and 20. Mr. R. R. Adcock. Houstonian and friend of the Dramatic Club and whose work in Little Theatre circles is outstanding, directed the play and was particularly suc- cessful in getting both actors and audience to feel the restraint and temper which the Spanish family exhibits. This is no easy task, getting American college students to feel as well as convey to an audience the customs, humors, and atmosphere of Spanish people. This play could have easily been overacted but was kept to an even tempo under Mr. Adcocks able direction. He was assisted by Mr. J. 1). Thomas, Rice English Instructor, who rendered valuable service. Acting honors go to Mary Marshall Ferguson, Scott Lee Ilild and Marian Seaman in the major roles. Mary Marshall Ferguson in the title role portrayed the secluded but nevertheless rebellious and somewhat romantic senorita with a naturalness and grace not often seen in amateur performances. Scott Lee llild s characterization of the hero. Obdulio Gomez, was particularly line, his performance being precise and studied, but with the enthusiasm of the writer as well as of the lover, giving his performance charm. Marian Seaman played in a quaint and de- lightful wa the part of the broad-minded grandmama, who had had three hus- bands in her HO years. Her performance was both intense and humorous and the audiences were particularly appreciative of her work, a ripple of applause greeting her entrance at each performance of the play. The Romantic ) utni Lady The three gay but strict brothers were played by llarrv Bloom, ' . . Wall and Robert Jungbecker, which three furnished irrepressible humor with their clever lines. Maria Pepa, the servant who listened at doors and peeped through kev- holes. was plaved with fine dexterity by Justine McKenna. Althea Hill played the great author ' s secretary with skill and Lois Swartz gave an interesting and throaty interpretation of La Malaguena, the great Spanish dancer. Richard Pettifils plaved Don Juan, who was rather too old a gentleman to live up to his name. The problem of costuming was in the capable hands of Marion Seaman. James Reed was sta r c manager. Kosita Cevanes was property mistress and Charles Mercer served as stage electrician. The stage sets were designed by John Harmon, Rice architectural student, and the sets were painted h a dozen or so Dramatic ( Hub members. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ THE ONE-ACT PLAY CONTEST In keeping with the plan of giving one-act plavs regularlv. these pla) s to be directed by club members, a plan which was inaugurated last year during the 1929-30 season, workshop plays continued to be presented in 1930-31 season. These one-act plays were also a means of discovering new talent both for acting and directing among members, probationers or heelers of the club. During the year five one-act plays were presented at different Thursdav night meetings of the club. Mrs. Jacqueline Hildehrand. rloustonian and friend of the club, directed for the benefit and pleasure of the club two one-act plays. These were Funiculi-Funicula with Ruth heelan. Joe Aleo. and Millard Williams taking the leading parts, and The Brink of Silence in which Harold Oatfield The Four-Flushers ' ' John Cook. Charles Mercer and Flip Calhou n look pari. Jo Beth Griffin directed The Mayor and the Manicure, her east including all probationers, Kulli Loughridge, Lois Patrick, Shelton illev and Joe Kocurek. James Parker and Martha Fallen Williams directed Helen ' s Husband, with a cast including La Vert Weiss, Claire Flood. Charles Farrington, Barry Rose and Herman Lloyd. The second Annual One-Act Play Contest was held in the afternoon and evening of Fehruarv 1 ' ) at the utry House. The competition was open to all Rice stu- dents, and the patrons were invited to participate. The judges were Leslie Dufton. Dr. Man D. McKillop, Vrthur Casey. Huhert Roussel. and Mrs. Geraldine Stiles. The club w as very proud of the fact thai this year two of the six one-act plays presented were written by Rice students. These were A Modern Chooses, a serio-comedy centering around a hand of destiny theme by Helen Batte, and Hell of St. Mine ' s, a trage d) dealing with the life of New Kngland fishermen 1 Bertrand Richards. The plays as presented were The Four-Flushers directed by Carmen Lewis. Finders Keepers directed h Helen Williams and Ruth Sorrell, A Modern Chooses directed by Marian Seaman and Helen Batte. Margaret of Naxos directed 1 Mar) Hutton and Bill Clarke, Duetto directed by Leslie Arnold and Claire Flood, and Bell of St. Amies directed hy Margaret Wright. The judges awarded the prize of fifty dollars to the cast of lhe Four-Flushers. and Altliea Hill who played in Margaret of Naxos was judged the best individual performer for her work in that play. Second mention was given to Margaret of N;imi- and Finder ' s Keepers. to Harry Bloom for his work in The Four- Flushers and to Lavonne Dickensheets for her work in A Modern Chooses. LA BELLE AVENTURE This three act corned) by Des Kleurs an l Caillenet, directed by Gardner Miller, faculty sponsor, and Joe Garza, was presented on December 9 al the Parish house of Palmer Chapel. The play was spoken in French throughout, and was an undertaking very creditably carried out bv the Rice French Club, Les Hiboux. La Belle Aventure centers around a love tangle in which llelene. played with dexterity bv Mildred Kelly, leaves her fiance at the altar to elope with her child- hood sweetheart. Andre d ' Eguzon, a part well portrayed by Andre Bourgeois. Hope Mengden as the old grandmother gave a good hit of characterization. kvie Morrow as the unromantic and disappointed lover was pathetically comic in his serious hut futile efforts to assert himself. Grace Belling as Countess d Eguzon and Walter Miksch as the nonchalant Comte d Eguzon were very good in two difficult parts. Minor parts in the ca st were filled by Marguerite Stuart, nnie Ray Oualtraugh. Joe Garza. Marvin Miekle. Claire flood. Catherine Stone, and Mozelle ldis. The staging was in the hands of Rosamund kluminir and Hill ( loleman served as technician. ( u pril 8 four one-act plays were presented by the French (Huh at the Autry House. La Lecon de Francais was directed h Gardner Miller and consisted of a cast of French 100 students: Maurice Sullivan. Ida Dell Lacy. Hazel Glover. Edith Simpson. Pauline Meyer, Frances Thomas. Maunie Frost, Frances Bran- denberger and Hallie Beth Talley. La Surprise d Isidore was directed by Louis Miller and Walter Miksch and had a cast of students from advanced French courses: Marjorie. Alice Hovas. Mrs. Marguerite Mdrich. Mr. Miller and Mr. Miksch. Rosalie. directed l v Alice Hovas. included in its cast Ruth Loughridge. Hope Mengden. and Jiminie Hudson. La Farce de Cuviar. directed by Joe Garza, included in its cast Marguerite Stuart. Hugh Scott, and Louise Bucket ' . o ■ ■ I E T Y The Queen and Kiiiii Lillian Horlock, Carl litis The May Fete The annual May Fete, held under the auspices of the Woman ' s Council, took place in 1930 in (he late afternoon of Ma . ' L iimler the tall oaks on the spacious lawn of the Rice Campus. A colonial theme .served as a general motif, the Fete ap- pearing as on the lawn of an old time plantation.

The I irsinia Reel Dancers J esey Swimming SENIOR ACTIVITIES, WM) The first senior aflair was held Ma 15 when Mr. Hardy, manager of the Res- idential Halls complimented the senior dormitory men anil their dates with a ban- 1 ii ■ t in the senior commons. Tonys famous roses decorated a long U-shaped table, and Fred Rovse. president of the senior class, was toastmaster. Mthougli not a regular senior activity, the I ' re-Law Dance was one of the last formals of the year. 1 1 was held on the Rice I lotel Roof the night of the last exam- ination dav. Consequently, eyeryone had an enjoyable, light-hearted time and danced to the good music of Stevens-Parrish orchestra. The first day of Commencement activities was Saturday, June 7. when two events of note took place. In the morning the Senior American was held at River Oaks Country Club, beginning with a hreakfast. This was followed by a dance, and after that a swimming party. The second event was the Senior Banquet at the I Diversity Club that evening. Only seniors could attend. A favor was given each member of the class to commemorate his college career. Senior American Final Hall The I nveiling Cranmer Club Breakfast Baccalaureate Sunday. June 8. began with a breakfast al An try House given by the Cranmer Club. Immediately after tbis. the Academic Procession formed for tbe unveiling of (be statue of William Marsh Kiee. founder of the Institute. This service continued into the Baccalaureate service. Dr. James Gordon (iilkey of Springfield. Massachusetts, delivered the sermon. Commencement Day. June 9, was even more eventful. The Academic Pro- cession formed again that morning and two hundred and thirty graduates re- ceived degrees. Dr. Ralph Adam Cram of New ork City gave the address. Dr. and Mrs. Lovett were host and hostess in the afternoon for the annual garden party on the campus lawn, given in honor of the graduating students and their friends. Members of the senior (lass and the faculty were also in the receiving line. The Final Ball that night brilliantly marked the end of senior activities. It was held in the Rice Hotel ballroom and everyone was loath to leave. No event could better close the series for it left many fond memories in the hearts of the seniors and all those that attended. Scenes from the Pro-Law Dance Receiving line, Council tea Table, literary tea OPENING RECEPTIONS— FALL. 1930 It is easy to get acquainted at Rice early in the year, for everj effort of a social nature is made to introduce the new students to the old. The social side of Rice is made known almost as soon as the scholastic side, for what school would be complete without it? According to tradition, the first and largest affair is sponsored by the Student ' s Council and the Woman ' s Council, acting in conjunction, and as usual it took the form this year of a reception held on the green lawn of the Rice Commons on September 30. The entire student body anil faculty were invited to attend, but the honorees were the members of the fre shman class. The receiving line consisted ol the officers of the two ( louncils: I [oward Banner. I lelen i I Mams. John Simpson. Rowena McLaughlin. Harvey Norvell. and Christine Pope. From time to time. faculty members helped to receive, and Dr. and Mrs. Lovett. Mrs. Stratford, and Miss Dean remained throughout the evening. Other council members aided in hostess duties, and punch was served from two tables adorned with coral vine. The same afternoon, hut a little later, the Y.W.C.A. of Rice were hostesses lor their annual tea dansant at Vutrv House for all Institute girls. The upper classmen, dressed as oung college sheiks, brought their little freshmen sisters. and showed them the time of their lives. Ruth Griffiths, president of the organ- ization, and Rosita Ceyanes, vice president, received the large number of girls who attended. Punch and cake were served. Nut everything, however, is in honor of the freshmen for the seniors must be allowed to feel their privileged dignity. With the receiving of their degrees in June, the senior girls become eligible to the College Woman ' s Club of Houston. mi that organization honored their prospective mem hers with a tea at the University Club on Friday, October 3. Their president, Mrs. L. H. edge, received the guests Literary Society officers 1 1 a ensemble and presided over a very beautiful affair. The room was decorated with palms and autumn flowers, and t lie lace covered table was decorated with coral vine and peach candles in silver candelabra. Ices in the shapes of fruits and flowers, and cakes of pastel shades were served. Mesdames E. 0. Lovett, II. A. Wilson. L. L. Powell, and Miss Alice Dean assisted. On October 20, the entire co-e d student body were guests of the city .W.C.A. in their building on Kusk and Austin. A lovely tea was held in the afternoon for the purpose of interesting new people in their work. The d isor Hoard served tea. but the receiving line consisted of members of the Rice . .C.A.: Rosita Ceyanes, Gladys Schill, Ruth Griffiths, Nannie Mae Gale, and Alice Blazek. The second large social event of early fall was the annual inter-literary societv tea. Membership in these three clubs is li invitation only, and since rushing is prohibited at Rice, this is the only affair of that character. The tea was held this vear at Autrv House on October 21. and over one hundred prospective members for the societies were invited, all girls from out of town being included. Members of the Owen W ister Literary Societv. Pallas Athene Literary Societv. and Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Societv (about sixtv altogether), were hostesses. The guests were greeted at the door by the presidents and vice presidents: Kathrvn Logue and Margaret Carter of the K.B.L.S.. 1arv rallichel and Rowena McLaughlin of the P.A.L.S.. and Helen Williams and Hazel Reid of the O.W.L.S. The entire room was charmingly arranged with flowers and ferns, and the tea table was laid with silver and lace. Mrs. Sara Stratford, beloved advisor to women, and Mrs. Eugene Blake, hostess of Autrv House, poured coffee and tea. The club members saw that all guests were introduced, so that closer friendships might be made for the new girls of Rice. The last of the fall teas was given by the Rice Y.W.C.A. on November 10. in honor of the faculty wives. Uilrv House Crowd W EEKLY DANCES Saturda) Nighl The regular Saturday night dances went on this year as usual except that the crowd became less and less composed of Rice students. Whether this was due to location, an undesirable element, the price, or late hours is not known, but these dances were not representative of Rice as they should be. The) were held at the I niversity Club which has an excellent floor and plenty of space. Lees Owls fur- nished the music which was up to their usually good par. hut somehow the dance never really got started until almost eleven o ' clock. However, in the one exciting hour between then and midnight, those attending showed every sign oi enjoy- ment. There was the usual overflow of stags, so tag dancing seemed to continue. Tuesday Mternoon The reall) novel affairs of the year were inaugurated on February 21 by the Rail) (Huh. when they gave the first Tuesday afternoon dance at utiy House. This was a successful attempt to reinstate the old Rice dance spirit. From that day. a dance yvas held every Tuesday between four and six with the Rail) (duh in charge and Mrs. Blake acting as chaperon. n admission charge of only twenty-five cents made them within the means of all students, giving just enough to repay Lees Owls orchestra for their services. The dances yere decidedly informal and dales unnecessary. Girls were urged to come as stags and the major- it) of them did so. I he Rally (Huh invited different co-eds to act as hostesses so that introductions could be made and everyone have a good time. Some of the hostesses were Christine Pope, Carmen Lewis, Mar) Hand. Charlotte Collins. Stella McNeir, Hallie Beth Tall) and the Owen Lister Literary Society. These dances ilid much to renew the old time Rice spirit, and the students feel gratefully indebted to tin- Rail) Huh lor sponsoring them. sis The Crowd Decoration ENGINEERS ' I5M.L The reallv formal social season ol Rice was opened as usual this year l 1 1 n- annual dance of the Engineering Society. This is always one of the most delightful dances of the year because everyone is fresh, eager to have a good time, to see old faces and meet new ones. The Engineers come out of their hiding places and studious retreats and show themselves as hig social lions as any Sallyport idlers. The co-eds are again dazzled by their imposing array, and the other eils have to take second place for the evening. Their dance is always a success and this year ' s was up to standard, although not quite so well attended. It was held at River Oaks Country ( ' . u on the night of November 7 between the hours often and two-thirty. The decorations were kept secret until the dance be- gan and those attending were pleasantly surprised by a setting of elaborate mod- ernistic design, and extremely colorful. The lighting effects were particularly at- tractive. Lees Owls gave the music. At twelve o clock an appetizing supper was held in the Grill Room during a hall hours intermission. This gave the dancers a new impetus and the evenings merry- making was continued. Everyone was loath to leave when the music ended, even though the next day «as a schoolda) as usual. ith dark eves the next morning, the participants declared they would not have missed it. The committees, appointed b President Fred Craig, and responsible for the dance, were as follows: General Dance Committee: Mark Hopkins, chairman. Mason Barron. George Kitchell. and George Hawley. Decorations: Clovis Harkrider. chairman. Hcns and Fritz olkmer. Wells. ;. W. Hewit t. Lighting Effects: R. R. Edwards, chairman, and Buck Bucholtz. SfSQAo o Lee ' s Owls O.W.L.S. Pledges THE BEAUX-ARTS BALL Available (lance dates were scarce this year, because so many holidays fell on cither Sundays or Mondays. There were only eight official dates given out by the Student Association, with the permission of the Administrative Board, and eleven organizations wished to give dances. The best solution was for some of them to double up and give their dances together. The first of these combination dances was given on November 26. the night he- fore Thanksgiving, by the Owen lister Literary Society and the Rice Institute Band. Phis was the first occasion in the school ' s history for which a co-ed organ- ization and a boys ' organization co-operated in such a manner, and proved that it can he done very successfully for both. The efficiency of the dance arrangements were doubled since the boys could best do certain phases of the work, while the girls could best do other details. A hundred patrons were secured from prominent Houston society circles. The profits were equally divided: the O.W.L.S. using their half for their fund for the Rice library, and the Band to finish payment on their uniforms. The affair was a studio dance at River Oaks Country Club and called The Beaux-arts Ball by its promoters. A great silver palette, with colored lights shining through the color daubs on it. was at one end of the ballroom against a black drapery. hi either side were huge silver vases containing artists brushes. This formed a distinctive background for Lee s Owls, who contributed their music gratis. The orchestra were dressed in smocks of various colors, black berets and ties, to further carry out the theme. About the walls interesting silhouette panels and modernistic plaques represented the completed work of the artists. The en- trance to the hall was hung with white satin drapery fringed in black. Scene from Beaux-arts Besides the elub presidents. Helen Williams and Briggs Manuel, the success of the dance was largely due to the efforts of Dorothy MeWhirter. Loula Bess Johnson. Mary Lucille Houchins. Willeta Johnson, and Martha Ellen Williams of the O.W.L.S: and Fred Craig, Douglas Ragland, Howard Hoag, Gardner Soule and Morgan Campbell of the Band. The decorations were directed by Josephine Richmond. Charles Marshall. Richard Shannon. George Blocher. and Kenneth Sanders. This was the last Rice dance of 1930. Two other combination dances were to be given: one on April 7. 1931, by the Pallas Athene Literary Society and the Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society, and another in the spring by the Pre-Medical and Pre-Law Associations. HOMECOMING DAY More than one hundred members of the Rice Alumni Association attended the annual Homecoming Day Celebration held on Thanksgiving. Plans for the event were made by Weldon Cabaniss. alumni secretary. The day began with a business meeting at ten thirty in the Physics Amphitheatre, presided oyer by President J. I. Campbell. Election of officers and discussion of the Alumni scholarship were included in the day ' s business. Campbell was re- elected president and Mrs. katvruth Strieker Fraley vice president. After adjourn- ment, the Faculty Club was open for those who wished to have luncheon there. The alumni present were given box tickets to see the Rice Freshinan-Schreiner football game in the afternoon. After the game, there was a reception at Autry House for Alumni members and their families and friends. Mary Sanford Campbell. 29, was in charge there. Scenes ul the Dance RALLY CUB The Ralh (Muli dance is not the good old hreak training affair that it used to he. Nevertheless, it was a good dance and reallv something worth- while to honor the football squad, who certainly deserved it. They showed their appreciation by appearing almost in entirety. It was held at the University Chili on January 0. beginning 193] with a flourish. The scene was typically decorated in blue and grav — football blankets playing a prominent part in the scheme. Wall panels and back drops carried out the football and cross country idea. The dance could have had more pep. hut no one was sorry he came. Hal Prat t and his orchestra furnished the music and. even if the crowd did lack pep, certainly Mr. Pratt did not. In fact be enjoyed a huge evening and the music was reallv excellent. DUCHESS TO DVLLAS FAIR Miss Kathryn Logue (now Mrs. John Hooper) was elected Duchess of Rice at a co-ed mass meeting in late September, to represent the Institute at the Waco Cotton Palace. However, it was impossible to attend on such short notice so the Woman ' s Council voted that she be sent to the Dallas Pair for the annual Ul-College Day. Mrs. Hooper ' s blonde beauty could not help but have given Rice a reputation for fair co-eds. Mr. Henry Lee Borden was her escort. Sophomore Officers The Decorations SOPHOMORE BALL The Sophomore (Mass held their ! all on the night of Fel ruar 12. Lincoln ' s Birthday. This was the fourth formal f the school vear. and was partic- ularly festive for il offered relief from the tedium of February finals. It came on the last night of exams and everyone was quite willing to give their over- taxed brains a rest. The dance was one of t lie most enjoyable of the vear and a tribute in itself to the work of the class committees. River Oaks Country (Huh was again the scene, but the orchestra was im- ported. A room full of merry couples danced to the music of Fred Gardner ' s University of Texas Troubadours, who are Victor Recording Artists. A jungle (heme was used for the decorative motif, but there was no shrubbery to clutter up the dance floor. Synthetic moonlight for only illuminatio n disclosed ceiling and orchestra platform literally covered with greens and foliage to furnish atmosphere. From the panels around the walls the dancers were viewed bv lions, tigers, and stranger monsters who peered out from the dense jungle growth. Dusky maidens could also he seen wriggling in their pagan dances. At midnight, a breakfast of scrambled eggs and Brookfield was served. An unusual feature t the dance was the revival of the grand inarch at two o ' clock. It was lead h John Coffee, president of the Sophomore Class, and Dorothy Learned, vice president. The committee chairmen for the dance were: General Chairman: Gordon Nicholson Refreshments: John Jones Hall: Louie Dee Hill Music: Bob Kiinbro Decorations: Alvin Mood) Bids and Imitations: Wiley George An hi - Arts Dance Moderne. en masque was the title given n the invitations for the only cos) ume dance on Rice ' s social calendar. This is traditionally given by the Archi- tectural Society anil known as Arehi-Arts. River Oaks is well adapted to an affair of this type, and it was hold there on the night of February 20, 1°31, begin- ning at ten thirty. It is hard to persuade people into wearing costumes, hut the saying mono talks was effectively used in this case by the architects. An extra charge of two dollars was made for those appearing without costume. The desired result was ob- tained, and everyone realK delighted in not being themselves for one evening. The decorations were done in a modern impressionistic style, though not in the common strain bv any means. The were decidedh different, and the costumes were supposed to conform. The assembled company included Madame Satans, show girls, vamps of the future, robots, and men of Mars, although pajamas of various sorts seemed the prevailing dress idea. So nice to get out of ones everyday personality for a while. Lees Owls furnished music for part of the evening, and the rest was given by the Henry Lange Brunswick Recording orchestra. Supper was served at twelve tbirtj . Mien Caldwell, president, and Herman Lloyd, vice president, of the Architec- tural Societ) were assisted in giving this dance by the following committees: On finance: Christine Pope, chairman. Delwin .lames. Charles Farrington, Harold Calhoun. Hazel Goodman. Lucile Lancaster: Music: Nell Austin, chairman, and George Bloeher: Arrangements: Frank Hopkins and Richard Shannon. I, ( ; I ' i B TES POST Tliis distinguished actor of the American stage was the guest speaker at a joint open meeting of the co-ed literary soc ieties, P.A.L.S.. E.B.L.S.. and O.W.L.S., on October 31, 1930. at Autrv House. The meeting was held at four o ' clock and the only person on the program was Mr. Post, who was introduced by Helen illiams, president of O.W.L.S. Mr. I ' ost has been on the legitimate stage for forty years, starring in The Play ' s The Thing. Omar. The Tentmaker. and Peg o my Heart. and spoke of many interesting experiences of his career. Quite a number took advantage of hearing the notable actor and of meeting him personally after- wards. E.B.L.S. CARD PARTY On March 7. 1931. the Klizabeth Baldwin Literary Society gave a large benefit card party at the Lamar Hotel, the proceeds providing funds for their scholarship at Rice. Many co-eds attended this function, and charming table awards were in- cluded in the price ol the tickets. Additional prizes were won by lottery. PLKDOING Literary pledging day is always an interesting one on the campus, lor that is when new members are taken into clubs. This vear on November 6. the E.B.L.S. pledged thirteen new members, the O.W.L.S. ten. and the P.A.L.S. twelve. As customary, the clubs gave several parties and dinners in honor of their new mem- bers. TENNIS CLUB CARD PARTY The Tennis Club also gave a card party, on March 14. at Autry House. Twenty- five tables of plavers participated in bridge during two and five in the afternoon to win door and table prizes. Coffee and cake were also served. ?ki ■ I ilbaugh, Join I ' huh JUNIOR PROM The social climax oi the current season took place on the night of March 2 at River )aks Country (Huh. when the Junior ( ' lass gave its Prom . This is always the most exclusive, most formal, anil the most expensive of dances. The class ex- ecutives make the most elaborate plans ami go to the most trouble, and con- sequently it is usualK the higgest flop. Notoriously unpatronized hefore ami too still lor true comfort and enjoyment, the jinx was routed this year and the event was brilliant. The success of the dance may he attributed to the remarkably large crowd which overflowed from the ballroom into the large promenade of the club house. Vnd the large crowd may be attributed to the happy innovation of selling the bids on the installment plan. Ibis sale began on December H. and continued up to the dance date muffling the eagle screams as the seven dollars accumulated. The presence of seemingly unlimited number of stags was especially gratifying to the feminine contingent. (A slag bid was included with every date bid sold.) The honorees, the Senior Class, were exempt from any payment provided the had paid their class dues the previous year. Two splendid orchestras. Lee ' s Owls and the Henry Lange recording orchestra. played one after the other all evening without intermission except for supper. Their steady stream of melody packed the evening lull of action and enjoyment. Modernistic was once more the prevailing decoration note, but here it was more of a modern classicism, symbolic of the Junior dignity. Severely smart walls were paneled in black, while and gold, with stately columns entirely around the room. Effective indirect lighting gave the ballroom just the desired atmosphere for best showing the girls new spring evening gowns. It achieved formality, but included jjaietv ■■ F Guests Honor- Girardey, Hensley traditional feature of the junior prom, the grand march, was led at one o ' clock by the president.

Rice became the first team to win from the Farmers at College Station in the 1931 season, an honor they held for most of its duration, as the Cadets are almost impossible when they entertain at home. The second game was sad. but true. Rice led decisiveh until the last few minutes, hut lost 26-23. Texas — The Texas Longhorns, conquerors of the Arkansas Porkers, felt defeat at the hands of the Rice Owls two times. In the first game, at Houston. Rice won 50-42.

M. both on the field .tnd on the stadium. Rice was painted all over the place and was a sight for sore eves. We sort of paid back an old debt long since covered with ivy on the main gates. It was with smiles that the Athletic Council sent some of the boys up to wash off the dirty work, but the pleasure was ours and the signs are still on the stadium. Those painters certainly knew their paint. Hush w IIM ' I RS of StOOl — pidgeons fly around the class- rooms and tales of dire effects are told. Why, even Brutus Har- ris and Big Cabaniss ' little broth- er. Little Cab, have been men- tioned as possible sources tor the intimate information written on little cards in the office. Inquir- ing at the office, they assured us the boys mentioned were giving very little information, the major- ity of the dirt coming from Dean Sharrar ' s visits to the dorms alter nite fall, walking around the grounds. We believe the oil ice was indulging in their own little ioke at our expense. Thresher kJ5 i i m i ( Elbert) Turner gave us a goodly share of amusing editorials in I he Thresher, which, coupled with his padded columns ot fancy in the Post-Dispatch, threatened a promising journalistic career. Ev- ery time the grades came out, Elbert found it necessary to give us a long essay on grades, essays which were often read and never taken seriously. But maybe Elbert didn ' t write them. It has occurred to us that his smiling cohort, Gardner Soule, may well have been the author of the stuff, fudging by the length and weighty subject matter ot the Turner column in the Post-Dis- fatch, we may well conclude that sport writers are paid for literary imagination and not by the col- umn ' Dtuice Fool L, she came up to the Saturday night dance, and Hire enough, she flatly refused to dance with Shorty George.

That was the dance which was scheduled for River Oaks and was held at the University Club. Hal Pratt was there with Ralph Britt ' s Orchestra, and the dance, an- nounced for 1 (I, started at 11 with a bang. Everybody had a good time but the Rally Club bins who were worrying about the gate re- ceipts. Another project of the Rally Club was the ushering at football and basketball games.

LAWYER— Lee M. Sharrar gets his degree from the night Law school this spring. He has been teaching a cuurse in Jurisprudence from 8:15 to 9:15 on odd mornings, entertaining his class at various intervals with rare wit. His congenial disposition towards athletes makes him an excellent Dean of Men. GOSSIP — } . it that johnny McCants intends to leave the Bursar ' s ch.iir and go into the loan business for profit. We hope the rumor is unfounded. Johnny is well known and well liked by those that be, and — though at times strict — is always fair. MOURNED— That Homer Mathes doesn ' t leave us along with the rest of the arrogant five and six year mill. His specially is the propagation and elimina- tion of rats. He should practice his hobby not only at the lab, but at the University Club. HI MANITARIAN — Red Simpson, deacon of the Baw- dry House, gave two Crispies to friends in honor of something or other. Careful, SImpv, the depression is here. BIRTH — Of .u- idea was celebrated by Lida Arnold, owner of .1 set of barrel staves and a coupe. Fre- quently seen in the company of- — who.

Known as the Valley Volcano, the ladies have tnund why. Clutters up a mean cinder track. SECRET — Business deals have been fostered by Ralph Connor, hairy sophomore from Laredo. Texide Prod- ucts, warranted for two years. There ' s all ways to make money. CHANGING— From a fairly good substitute backfield man into a parlor hound has been K.en Lee ' s trait. Pity the usually level headed lad had to fall for the stale line so oft given out by Margaret McCarthy. HOME— Is where Alice Jane Wall should be instead of trying to be up and among ' em. Her saving grace is the lilting laugh she sports. more conspicuous than at the football games. He was always a timid chap, and we know how he teel- about publicity. The Tuesday Dances went over big, and the club deserves some notice tor giving Rice, and nut the University Club, an occasional dance. Rut the University Club bovs do dance so cute! w Hoi or h were nut sur- prised greatly at the flagrant er- rors oi the Honor Council this year, considering that the body was in charge of Joe Allen. Not content with helping Sidney Wil- son put out the worst set of Owls th.it have appeared on the campus within the scope of our memory, Joe nude it his special duty to see that the council was mismanaged as badly as our so-called humor publication. Every case hung fire, and the accused person went through Hell for two or three weeks, in every instance waiting for .1 trial that should have and could have been completed with- out dcl.n under an efficient man- agement. All Hail the blunder- ing hero! Sororities 9 iNct it is harsh to call anyone or any organization two laced, we will not do so. However our Dear School, for such it is, has never sanctioned sororities, those immoral organi- 0 Zations ot women which segregate the High from the Low. Yet there are literary clubs at Rice which meet ever so seldom to hear solemn criticisms of books and plays. The other 99 per cent of the time, the charming belles jabber and jockey to rate in the loftier strata of society. None but the best girls — some- body will have to 1 a u g h — are pledged. They must be nice looking and have connections. They must date the best bovs in school — the kmd their mothers like — and all such hooey. In the meanwhile, many girls not so well known, unlucky enough to have been born in the Heights, go unnoticed, and grow to bloom m the shade. Pick vour daisies, girls, and we will pick the dates. Sop lO io)t John Coffee, a most serious minded young sopho- more, seems to have taken his heavy responsibility as President in the same light. Just a lad from a small town, the typical sopho- more complex was inevitable. Fail- ing to appreciate the tolerance shown by those who realize the sophomore phase, he has perhaps irritated a few of them. But be- ing a sophomore, it is excusable. Let us hope we can prevail upon our readers to see our side of it and do not be too hard on the chap. To Profs .here is a new prof at Rice, and we take off our hats to him . . . He is Dr. West- mcyer of Iowa, who teaches Eco- nomics. In spite ol the fact that he is a professor, he can smile and take a joke along with George Williams. Did you ever notice the Castor Oil expression most ot our be- loved ones wear for their own benefit.

Too much study makes Jack a dull boy — he just did his best, but it couldn ' t heat the tea. Let us hope all of West Hall gets on the committee next year, then they would not have to sell bids. Football TV he faculty has just about put diapers on the school as far as hazing and other intramural sports are concerned. One activity has come to stay, we hope . . . namely, the Band-Rally Club football contest. This game has seen the fur fly lor two sea- sons. The first saw the teams battle to a tie, while this year the Band bovs trounced the Rally Club 6 to 0. This was due to the thorough coaching on the part of Dick [amerson ot the band, and the fight displayed by his club. The Band wore the Rah 1 Rah! bovs down and then let them have a fortissimo. Neither the end nor Brains Russell, the quarterback, were where they should have been when McNeill of the Band loped over for the count. Both sides just sweated and went on. My hair is gray, but not with age, Nor grezv it zvhite in a single night. — Browning Drums V AMES S W ANSON straightened his shoulders and gave us great hopes tor a big impres- sive Drum Major, but things did not develop as expected, On peer- ing forth at the football game one- Saturday, we found Kenneth Sanders dropping the baton in- stead of Swanson. And he could not drop it hall as well as Swan- son, either. Searching methodi- cally for the rout of the evil, we found exactly nothing. It has been rumored James had been tired from the honorary post, but we hope it has no basis on tact. He is too sweet a boy to be treated that way. It Track , UMOR had it that all was not well at the lield house this year. Coach Ernie, besides coming out with a revision on his track book, wanted the track boys to get the best of it whenever possible, which was quite natural lor a coach oi Ernie ' s age and standing. But when he submitted a list ot more than a score ot names to go to the Texas Relays, Mr. Johnson couldn ' t see it quite his way. F.rnie was unwilling to sacrifice Hewitt, manager. Ev- ery track team must have its man- ager, so one ot the track men stayed at home. Efficiency first, we have always maintained. June. 1 93 J Page 7 ARE YOU AFRAID TO LOVE?

This can hardlv be proven and there is doubt if the lather, Ham- lord, or the mother, Gertrude, would wish the matter pressed. The boy, with lace on his und ' es and everything, began to show signs of fuzz on his lira about the time he entered dear old Rice. Now to make .1 long storv longer, Ab, as stated, hadn ' t had the chance to get out and ring door bells or pull street car trol- leys like other boys do, so he wanted to go off to school and raise Hell. Old Abdomen was a trickv lad, so he didn ' t tell mama that. Hansford didn ' t give a damn because he was a heller himself and real!) ' wanted to see Ab slap Gertrude down some night, since he hadn ' t been able to do it him- self in a long, long time. Speaking of time, it came around and took Ab with his trunk and clothes away on the great ad- venture. Ab got oft the train, walked up to the baggage room, and demanded his trunk. Tutt ' s the name, you swine, he roared — that is, tor a little man. Whereupon the man flat- tened him out. Ab got up, grabbed his grip, and not having the in- sides of his name, ran away to college. a r must be kept 111 mind that when Abdomen went to College, Rice bovs were men and Ab went as a kid. He was temperamental, having been han- dled with gloves by his mama, so when the bovs in good spirit work- ed him over Tummy was hurt. The girls call him Tummy be- cause, like Spit, Bellv is a ter- rible word. Before long the kid began to see it was all in tun and more for his own good than other peoples ' . Nor was this his only accomplish- ment, for he began to tell the Sophs (we don ' t have Frat bovs at Ginsberg) to scram just to see them sweat in letting him have a few. So good old Tummv began to develop into a real man. Nor was he adverse to a bit of drinking now and then, just tor the fellow- ship of it. Tutt studied hard and did a lot of good with his books until his Sophomore year when, in giving .1 freshman a toasting, some low- down gutter snipe tipped off the head man who told Ab school was too rough, it made the little boys sad, like Ab was, before he found out what it was all about. Ab was called over and given a very good, a splendid, dressing down — one that bit to the quick — why, how could he have struck that helpless youth with other bovs around making sport (there ' s tun) It lead up that Ab must never again, or else — will you, Tummy Tutt: M. 1 1 1 said he would tutt, tutt, and never do it again. Never would he thrash those who needed it, those who desired it, or those who wanted it. He couldn ' t joke with tlie lads, they couldn ' t take a joke. No more tights, no more good, hearty tun, but just all gather round and play drop the handkerchief and raise hell. Good old Ab, he cursed for the sake of good old tradition and grunted a deep resonant, 1 will. There was his trouble, his will, which he got from his Papa. Papa was a scooter, as stated and Ab liked to scoot, too. But now how could he be a rooter and a scooter ' n everv- thing and have those great, big, strong smelling freshmen athletes running over him.

Thev even went so lar as to bring in some of the lesser lights of the Institute. Alice Jane Wall and Ruth Wheelan, THE Lewis and Ferguson duo (who were brought in cages) and other non-entities were there. A he music started at nine with two San Jacinto girls pervading the atmosphere with Sophistication. But a deep rum- bling was heard on the stairs. Framed in the doorway were the three Rover boys, carrying a gal- lon of parrot pithy on one arm, a restaurant beetle on the other. Things began to hum. After a stiff whiff, the orchestra threw away their horns and clapped their hands, the gathering quit dancing and started a game of Squat Josie, while three West Hall sophomores passed out on one car- penter ' s horse. It was a revival of the Scullion ' s Ball. The race was to the strongest. Mark Hopkins and T. Roy Hen- sley tried to jump off the balcony holding an umbrella . . . N. P.

J Pane 10 THE rVUJOYLE ATHLETIMAMA An introduction to the vonvhina school follu Fo ooteall hadn ' t been going so well .it Rice be- tween, well, say 1924 to 1928. One class — that of ' 28 — had wit- nessed only one or two confer- ence victories during their iour years at Rice. The ' 28 class was unfortunate in that it had with- stood the ravages of the Moral Victory Era under the supervision of John W. Heisman, a gentle- man who had been at one time one of the coaches ot the coun- trv. Athletics began to present a serious problem then. Dark ru- mors occasionally cropped out that Rice might have to withdraw from the Southwestern Conference un- less she could furnish more com- petition. Not that Rice had al- ways been the doormat she was sometimes called. Back in the ' teens, the Institute really won some games. At one time S. M. U. fell before Rice to the tune of a hundred and something to nothing. JI.HE Institute teams were respected in those days. The conference had never dreamed of games with Harvard, and the great question of Subsidizing was still a mere glimmer on the hori- zon. They tell us that the men were big and rough and tough then, and that their technique with a broom put the fear ot God into the hearts of the slimes. But the Institute began to be known as an Intellectual Center, and the athletes were scared off. But this was not the case in the other schools of the confer- ence. In keeping abreast of the ,;iodern time-, they began to find nice ways of getting Soft Money for their football heroes, and they put themselves on a level with some of the best schools in the country in this respect. Although high school athletes were not ac- tuallv bid for, it developed that there was generally some under- standing as to just how the pros- pect was going to get by when he started his college career. S. M. U. and T. C. U. had their respective cities enrolled in the Cause, and the Chambers ot Commerce did their little bit in making bigger and better teams. Other schools with large bodies of Alumni, like Texas and A. M., were able to fix things up for the boys in pretty good shape. Rice held aloof from all of this, for the most part. Whether her attitude was due to a pecunia- rv lack or because she was dedi- cated to Higher Learning, we don ' t know. Of course, when we were freshmen, we were led to believe the latter, but time has made us skeptical. Rice went ahead and gave the athletes the works. Where another school tactfully requested a prof to re- consider an athlete ' s grades in a course. Rice busted the boy out in perfect devotion to Duty, and Houston howled. T, tell the truth, Houston howled quite a bit dur- ing those years, and it seemed that every time the student body and the town rubbed elbows, fric- tion developed. Take the Scan- Ian Building case, lor example. The traditional Freshman-Sopho- more fight was held there, with the result that several thousand dollars ' worth ot damage was done. Of course the press came forth with long tirades against the spirit of the modern college, and general ill-humor prevailed. But the same prcs tailed to give quite as much notice to the tact that the students voted to assess themselves to cover the cost of repairs. Incidents like this, in coni unction with a press not at all times favorable, created an idea in the minds of many Hous- ton people that Rice was a snob- bish, high falutin ' , expensive school. Often their kids couldn ' t quite get into Rice because of their grades in high school, a cir- cumstance which didn ' t help their frame of mind. But along in 1929, things be- gan to happen. Money came from somewhere and the administra- tion began to make plans tor a School of Physical Education. Quite a bit of money must have come in, tor Weldon Cabiness, secretary of the Alumni Associa- tion, canvassed the entire state for prominent high school and junior ( Continued on page 1 (t ) June. 1931 Pane 11 Tlie ICiee Nujoyle jack scott, manufacturer, joe eagle, official dose giver jack gallon ay, in entor. waiter Stewart, chemist, charlie marshall, label stampe Si Member Constipation Club.

So-called student loans made it possible for the talent to make their start in college. Then dozens of student jobs were created, rang- ing irom work on the tennis courts to lilling sugar bowls in the mess hall. Enough work to furnish room and board was guar- anteed the majority of the new- comers. The great Era ol Subsi- dization had begun. And now, after two years of it, what do we have? Better foot- ball prospects — that ' s something. But what of the school under the new regime? The high school heroes with tlie broad shoulders have the knack of raising Hell in a big way. Intellectual pursuits don ' t interest them, and why should they: When they came here, the} were told that they would get by, and that there would be need for little study. 9 i ' s been a pretty hard pull to keep some of the men in school. The year just past was the second tor the group who entered with the establish- ment of the new system, and it has taken some mighty close figuring to keep them in school. Coaching sections and reviews have been necessary in every course, and exam time sees a desperate effort on the part of the whole system to keep the lads irom going over the line. Thev have staved in, tor the most part, but many of them with luek that seems almost miraculous. We might add here that Mr. Lee Sharrar has been conspicuous on the campus since the establish- ment of the new regime. Mr. Sharrar has always had a sym- pathetic ear for the Physical Edu- cation boys, it was he who look over the job of Registrar last u ' .it for a while. This year he filled the chair of Acting Dean. Products of the The man who has been direct- ing most of the whole process, of course, has been Dr. Gaylord Johnson, Business Manager of Athletics. His is an energetic make-up which demands that no one else be entrusted with the details, be they ever so trivial. What is all this leading tor Rice is changing, Ave do not doubt. There is something about the attitude and temperament of Rice students that is undergoing a transformation. East season, we actually got used to winning foot- ball games! That in itself is enough to inoculate some of the rah-rah spirit that has not been lacking. Hazing has been prac- tically eliminated, tor the toot- ball men are of a delicate con- stitution, and can ' t run the risk of an injury like the spindly- legged slimes of former years. Maybe it ' s for the best, but haz- ing made many a good fellow out of an Inflated Ego, and the cam- pus is getting well sprinkled with Inflated Egos. 1 11 1 students of the Physical Education School will not be awarded the same degree as the students engaged in regular academic work. This was perhaps done with the idea of making it possible for a student to go New System through Rice without having to undergo the grind that the others undergo, and at the same tune preserving the integrity of the regular degree. This is a point in favor of Rice, because many schools do not follow this system, but give their varsity the same degree that the other students re- ceive. The Physical Education bins, although clothed in a wreath of glorv for their tour years, are making a real sacrifice to put ath- letics on the map for Rice. Phys- ical Education is a splendid thing, but the degree will represent lit- tle more than four years of dig- nified loafing, along with a grind of regular team practice almost cv- ery day of the school year. It will be a Physical Education degree, no more, no less. In the process, the attitude of Houston is perking up. Two con- ference wins last season helped matters quite a bit, and the popu- lace began to warm to Rice a lit- tle. Eventual!} ' the attitude may grow until an active movement is begun by a far-seeing citizen to- wards increasing the Institute ' s en- dowment. If it does so, then the sacrifices made to the cause will perhaps be justified. Meanwhile the transformation in the spirit of Rice is going on, for good or ill we know not.

Only the bravest dared to face the perils of this sad fate, only the hardiest of children played after sundown when the goblins were about. In this era of blood and strict obedience, our hero was brought in the world with a raw bone in his mouth. He was a model child up until the time he learned to talk. Then all the neighbors, even those who weren ' t neighbors, mar- veled at the mean look he had and the way he could cuss along with it. And so our hero arose to be a man of cutting tongue, hard look, and nastv temper. His clos- est friends of boyhood hardly spoke without his permission, his own parents lumping to service when he commanded. Going to college, many things were expected of our hero by all his admirers, untold heights were to be scaled, new achievements were to be accomplished. So, fol- lowing the tradition of all brave men and true, our hero gained many honors. First, through pure personality and grit, he was made a full-back on the varsity. Deter- mined to win, he was presented with the first-baseman ' s job . . . Never satisfied, he sought new laurels. After working tedious hours before the mirror, he found his most ferocious look, and ap- plied for the job. He got it. He achieved the apex of college hon- ors, the most desired of all col- legedom ' s offices, the summit of college fame. He was made Head Page 2 T II E Ml J O V L E Waiter oi the Commons. But we haven ' t done him jus- tice. His intellectual ability is astounding. To show the range and scope ot his genius, we leave it to you, dear reader, to judge. Here is a passage 1 rom an ode he has so delicately inscribed: Oh, fantastic maiden of golden hair, Venture not near the hideous lair Of the snowy Polar Bear, whose stenching Breath doth foul the air, fit only tor breathing. Now, candidlv, isn ' t that beau- tiful: Only a head waiter could do that! o ' vr hero has nobly carried forth the work done so slipshodly by his predecessors, Lily Payne and Bush Jones. Every morning the athlete waiters head- ed by Pat Wallace, Lou Hassell, Bert Mueller, and Seaman Squy- res, march through the commons in their neat white aprons and at- tend to the every need of the few paying their board bills. Our hero savs courteous and prompt service is the maxim of success. No one can be expected to forge ahead until he has performed these du- ties. Religiously he makes the rounds every meal in order to see that ev- eryone is happy and well pleased, welcoming new students and inviting all visitors to come often to enjoy the well seasoned food, giving them a wry smile that scares them all to a small diet. Only during meal time does he relax and quote reams of poetry, some of his own, some of Milton; at other more serious occasions when soup is served, he recites Robert W. Service. A true genius lor doing everything at once. Catching him at an off mo- ment, between mad intervals when he rushed from one table to an- other collecting show money, we got him to tell us of his experi- ence in Love! Ah, that stealthy- experience that comes to lighten the life of a chosen few, that delicious feeling that is only par- alleled bv a ride in an elevator, that moment when only a train could stop . . . our hero told us his story with grimaces. 11 was only a boy! And she was a buxom lass! It iirst happened at a family re- union. It was the custom of her family to gather at the house and invite all the friends, and when all were gathered, announce that their child was of age, and let all help to chase her down and put shoes on her. Now this fair lass was of age and as luck would have it, our hero was the lucky one to catch her. And did he put shoes on hcrf Well, as the day was cloudy and the corn stalks were high, he did. From then on our hero was gone to all such festivals, though he says the iirst experience in Love is the best. While he told this epic of raw nature, waiters read the daily papers, waiting students slept on the round tables, others played bridge, while the braver hollered FOOD with their hands over their mouths in order not to dis- turb the sanctity of the demigod ' s story. An air ot system reverting back to nature pervaded the place. Our hero had shown a weak mo- ment ' To give the lad justice, we should give his name.

If Carmen Lewis, who has such charming taste in dress, was not President of the damn thing and her best friend, she couldn ' t get in a medicine show as the backstage voice.

San Jacinto Inn at the Battleground REACHING FOR THE MOON THE MAGNIFICENT BALL of fire was slowly but puissantly emerging from its nest in a low rift of clouds on the evening horizon. At least that ' s the way it appeared to Leota on a balmy April nuit. ' But, ah children, little Loty was not alone — she had a companion who is quite as fond of practical astronomy as is she. These two aesthetic souls were gasping (no passion, no asthma) at the overwhelm- ing beauty of the spectacle. The natural picture had rendered them helpless even to continue driving. They could do nothing but park on a remote byway and con- template the object of their admiration in dumb rapture. In short, children dear, they were doing what is vulgarly known as Reaching for the Moon. But at this point, there happened one of those unexplainable coincidences, which account for the mysteries and complexities of life. Two little Boy Scouts on bi- cycles appeared on the scene and suggested that our playmates move on, with the hint that people should not stray too far from the Great White Way when desirous of contemplating Luna. There is a very profound truth to be gained from this story: Such is the life of our age that innocence is continually subject to accusations and imputations of naughtiness. Hence, if one really would like to be bad, he need not fear public opinion, for the chances are 993 out of a thousand (by actual count) that the boogey man will get him, irrespective of his guilt or innocence. Yours for safer and more private parking places, S. A. LONGNECKER. Postscriptum: — Rice may be superior to Texas in Football, Basketball, Track, etc., but the Institoot is undoubtedly years behind the University in lacking an up-to-date, accessible, commodious, private, and safe shady-nook such as Westfield- Enfied. — S.
