As we observe this stream we become chartned icith its beauty . On either side we see groups of laughing boys and girls, making social life, as well as books, a part of their education. eorrjifGfiT QJO EDITOR W.lL Brewer MANAGEP 1 — n ■ . We hear the merry laughter of the students as they pass from class to class, some stopping to chat with a friend or to listen to a- wee bit of gos- sip. On entering the class rooms a calmness follows, and they try to cen- ter their attention on the words of the instructor. But is every mind therel We are inclijied to believe some are elsewhere, or perhaps should he. ALCALDE for ,C) o -rSam TiouHon tate Ueachers Volleqe HUNrSV LLE. - TEXAS We notice that the campis life of the boys and girls is extremely in- teresting. Many romances which culminated in marriage have had their beginnings on this campus. If that old chinaberry tree should start to talking to-day, ive ii ' onder how many students would rush madly and make an attempt to burn it. How oft has it overheard the same age-old story! FOflEVVOf Herein we have tried to preserve for you, in a reminiscent way, the inside elements of this year s Col- lege Life. In turning the pages of this book, if you call to mind some incident or accident that otherwise would have been forgotten, if you get some .slight pleasure by reading It, or if it grows dearer to you in the years to come by linking together sioeet metnories of the past, we shall feel that our efforts have been amply rewarded, and we can again rest our heads in peaceful dreams . On and on ive find amusements — meek little freshmen quaking under the orders of the mighty upperclass- men, and grabbing their ankles to the tune of a paddle; friendly rivalry in sports, as ivell as in campus courses, and it is in some of these fields that a number of students show untold abili- ties. From these co?ne great inspira- tions and aspirations . DMSIONS THE COLLEGE COLLEGE YEAR ORGANIZATIONS AND STAGE ATHLETICS ACADEMY The influence and significance of years of service mould their value into the hearts of the students. The lives of the noble ?nen and women with whom one comes in contact dur- ing the years of college life ' ' all re- mind us we can  hike our lives sub- lime. Their sympathy and under- standing make better young men and women out of little boys and girls. DEDIC TO ONE WHOM WE LOVE AND ADMIRE AND WHO IS EVER IN SYMPATHY WITH THE COLLEGE LIFE OF THE students; WHO upholds the HIGH- est ideals and standards before his pupils; who, each year, has a clearer understanding of modern youth and its activities, we, the members of the staff, dedicate this volume of the alcalde n Mr. S.B.Red Day in, day out, new changes are seen taking place, a new library here, a new face there, more work to do, assignments harder, days longer and warmer, birds nesting, lovers dream- ing, trees budding — what for? All for the ultimate purpose of making the most of life. We hope that this year will lead one step nearer to the coveted goal.

A. Parkhill Auditor and Accountant W. L. Smith Secretary to the President Annie Lee Rix Assistant Registrar MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT To the Class of igjo: Carved in enduring stone above the main entrance to the library building whose completion signalizes your graduation year are the inspiring words of the Master Teacher; Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Throughout the years of your college life you have been guided and assisted by sympathetic teach- ers in the pursuit of truth. To the extent that you have been successful in this great effort you have realized the best gift that your college can bestow. You have found that the knowledge of truth comes not to the careless, the thoughtless, the indifferent. It is attained only through strenuous, persistent, and intelligent effort in an endless quest that reaches into the life beyond. Texas today needs men and women whom the Truth has freed from intellectual narrowness, sordid selfishness, moral cowardice, dullness of spiritual vision. I call upon the Class of 1930 to accept the Chal- lenge carved above your library door: to translate Its high appeal into characters and lives that will help to give Texas the higher freedom of which she stands in need. Your friend ciiid fdloir-seeker after Truth, Harry F. Estill Harry Fishburne Estill, Litt. D President of the ColUie Dtuir fneiii s: You have completed the course. Ostensihh ' you are readv to run the race. You have vear by year laid aside much of the impedimenta which cling to those who know not. You should run a race which is beautiful to look upon bv your friends. I shall not wish that your advance shall be free from obstacles, difficulties and problems; but that vou shall be able, with that equipment which vour Alma Mater has given to vou, to overcome, to vanquish, to win. S ncerely, J. C. McElhannon C. McElhaxnon, De.ii! To the students of Sam Houston State Teachers College, I extend greetings and sin- cerest good wishes. Your college is now com- pleting her fiftieth vear of service to the cause of education. While fifty vears is comparative- Iv not a long time for a college to serve, it has been sufficiently long to crystallize about this institution a set of lofty ideals and rich col- lege traditions. These are handed down to vou as a glorious heritage. Mav vou pass them on to the next student generation loftier and richer than you received them. As you go forth from these classic halls to take your place in the ranks of men and women who are fighting life ' s battles, may you carry vith you your college motto; The measure of a life is its service. L. E. King, Associate Dean JESSIE NEWELL, DEAN OF WOMEN To the Girls of Sam Houston State Teachers College: You, as well as all other college girls have to face a challenge that calls to the best in you. There is a strong tendency today to dis- regard those conventions and traditions that have been our safeguard in the past. New situations are arising in which some of the old codes and traditions may not suffice; vet you must maintain standards as high as those of any age. How are vou going to meet these situations? Are you meeting vour responsi- bilities in college in such a wav that vour standard of values will be high enough for vou to make wise decisions when new situa- tions arise? George Eliot in her poem on Stradivari, maker of finest violins says, Ajilonio Stradivari has an eye Thai ' icinccs at false work an J loves the true. That is the standard that the college girl of today needs to have — an eve that winces at false work and loves the true. Sincerely, Jessie Newell Dear Friends: We have come to the close of another school year — a year which has held for all of us its share of pleasures and disappointments, its ever enriching ex- periences. You ha e plaved and worked and worshipped together. And to vou as To the knij hts in the days of old Keeping watch on the mountain heights. have come visions urging you on to higher hopes, to greater achievements, to keener appreciations of the varying values of our perplexing world. Because of my association with you there has come to me a more abiding confidence in youth and a more confident hope of the arrival of a still brighter day. For they In the consecrate si ' cnce l now Thill the cha ' .lcnge stiU ho ' .ds today. And It is they who shall teach us how to live in the world as in our Father ' s home, sharing all with our sisters. Wliilher go ice. lie it far or near. ' isions bright of Alma Mater shall abide with us, and in the memory sweet of a mean- ingful year, with renewed courage and con- secration, mav we now clasp hands and again chant, Follow, follow, follow the gleam. Standards of worth o ' er all the earth. Follow, follow, folloio the gleam Of the light that shall bring the dawn. Your friend, Mrs. Joe L. Clark MRS. joe L. CLARK, ASSOCIATE DEAN OF WOMEN Depiirt7neiit o[ Public Service E RL HUFFOR Heiui of Pitblic Service Depavtmeiit Desiring to meet more fully than ever the needs of the people in its territory, in 1913 Sam Houston State Teachers College organized the Department of Public Service with Professor Earl Huffor as director, through which it has since offered a more extended service. For the benefit of those who could not attend the college and to render additional service to teachers in the field, this Department offered college courses by correspondence and through extension classes located in towns convenient to the students who wished to en- roll. During its first year the department reached 130 students in this way. Since that time it has shown a steady increase, the total enrollment for courses during the session 1918-2.9 being 1,789. While final figures for 192.9-30 are not yet available, the enrollment at this time indicates that more students will be reached through the Department of Public Service this year than ever before. The rapid growth of this type of work in S. H. S. T. C. has been accompanied bv high standards rigidlv maintained as is evidenced by the fact that in 19x9 the work of this department was placed b - the Texas Association of Colleges in first rank along with the Uni- versity of Texas, a distinction being given only to these two institutions. The college and the citizens of Texas may well be proud of the type of work that is being done in the Department of Public Service under the direction of Earl Huffor who is ably assisted by Emory Smith, and other members of the faculty. De7?ionstration School The Demonstration School is the professional laboratory of the college. Its chief function is to guide the final step in pre-service preparation of prospective teaching. This is done by affording them the opportunitx- to observe in demonstration teaching and to experience through practice teaching the ap- plication of the principles which the ' have studied in their subject matter and their educational theory courses. In organization, administration, and class- room teaching, it offers the various college depart- ments a concrete demonstration of approved modern educational practice. The organization of the school comprises kindergarten, primary, elementary, junior high, and senior high departments. Class enrollment IS limited to thirty up to the senior high school, which accepts qualified students from any part of the state. The administration of the school is in the hands of the director who has the assistance of a corps of super- visors and teachers whose professional preparation is based upon the attainment of the Master ' s degree as a Bunting minimum standard.

Our love for thee shall never die, Sam Houston College dear! Here ' s to the name we love to call. Here ' s to the work and play and all That make up the days we can never forget! Whe)i in future days we ' re far apart. Building castles strong and fair, Mem ' ry ' s fingers swift will weave a chain — A chain of these to-days; In and out the threads of working days. Out and in the days of play. Until the chain is strong enough to hind Our hearts for all eternity . Our stately college proudly stands Above the pine trees tall! Her terraced campus stoops to hear The faltering valley ' s call. Here s to her ivy-covered walls! Here ' s to her hallowed student halls Where purposes high are born in the heart! Years may fill our hands with fruitful days. Or with burdens hard to hear: Years may lead us down the sunlit road Or over dusty paths; Whither go we, be it far or near. Visions bright of thee appear To keep our hands to service pledged And hearts aflame for Alma Mater dear! — Mamie Rather Powell f-k R ., SENIOR SUMMER SENIORS JiiK A. Smuh . ' ;.

GREY SKIES AJ_v IjCiirt is fickle — changeable — A meek and icilliiig slave To transient moods. When grey skies cast A gloom that seems to lave The world with veils of misty clouds. My tears with raindrops blend. Beneath the overpoivering load Of life my shoulders bend. But when a rift of light appears And uidens, fioodtng all My life icith hospitality, I listen to the call Of hope, and then resolve to face ■ The ivorld ivith strength renewed — To fashion all my life by dreams And visions, radiant hued. And ne ' er to lower for any cause My soul ' s uplifted eyes.

That glides and glides forever Til some fair day a sound Will join it, too, in the river. Where, with comrades, at last, it is hound. Yet, above me the pines are whispering. Their lisp is a lyrical tune That echoes and echoes, ' til wandering It breaks — but begins again sooti. Their boughs are swaying and crooning. Their long arms wave in the air. For beneath the stalwart are growing Their brood so lithe and so fair. The demure Lady on the hillside With her needles and catkins so neat; Has as her fair young heart ' s pride The Saplings that cling to her feet. When the mild, yet- sturdy, west wind Her long arms bend down low She caresses and tucks them all in In a fashion that all Fines know. . Then she whispers the story of all trees. Of the huntsman and his clan. Of the social bu ' x of the honey-bees; Of the birds and the fairy man. But alas! She tells them of the builders. Who come in a ruthless way. And cut them down like their elders. Thus their life tvork ends in a day. — Clinton Bohannon It is through clubs and orgaii- iXations that strong ties of fellow- ship are made. The pur-poses of the various orga)iiz ations have a place in the fulfillment of college life; and the ability to hold the atten- tion of an audience, not only by speech, but by music or song as well, is to be desired by all. The social element also has a place in the life of each club. RGANIZATIONS g STAGE Student Assembly Officers Raymond Scarborough President Ottis Donaho Vice-President Margaret Oliphint Secretary-Treasurer The aims of Sam Houston College are to promote good citizenship, high ideals and true sportsmanship in all its activities. But, before the student bodv mav he true citi- zens there must be some form of government. It is the privilege of ever - student of Sam Houston State Teachers College to enjov organized self-government. The govern- ment is called the Student Assembh- in which evervone participates, it is demo- cratically held for the benefit ot the college as a whole. The purposes of the assembly are for the regulation of student activities for the supervision and information ot any difficultv that mav arise, the assembly is held for open discussion on subjects that are of special interest to the student body at large. To practice true citizenship, every member of the Student Assembly is a qualified voter, by which manner the officers are elected. To these officials are given the re- sponsibility and privilege of promoting the best interest of the students. As it is the duty of every citizen to uphold the ideals of the state, so it is the duty of each student to cooperate with its officers and to upht)ld the name and standards of our institution.

The executive committee, a smaller body, is composed of the Presidents of the Assembly and Council and two or three members appointed bv the latter.

The number 13 is considered unluckv bv some people, but since there are thirteen members of the staff who were chosen by the faculty committee upon the recommenda- tion of the Editor and Business Manager, we leave it to vou to gi x the verdict of luckv or unluckv on the results of our efforts. The staff as a whole has worked diligently toward the coveted goal of producing an enjovable and worthwhile piece of work. Much time has been sacrificed, as well as a few pleasures, but the compensa- tion of this is the appreciation of the student body of the yearbook.

As we are firm believers in the saying, All work and no plav makes Jack a dull boy, the organization indulges in the greatest of fun. The Press Club ' s reputation has been established since the year one by its notable treasure hunts, willing social committees, and rare feasts — so each year the name is lived up to. An organization with such an enthusiastic membership could never forget the im- portance of real business. It was under the direction of this organization that Sam Houston College was represented at the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association at Abilene. It is also due to them that our campus was selected as the meeting place of the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association of 1930.

Bv upholding the teachings of Christ this organization contributes much to the life of college men. The association, with the Young Women ' s Christian As- sociation has kept in touch with student life off the campus, chieflv through sending representatives to student conferences. During the past vear three important meetings ■were attended. In March i ic) Sam Houston delegates participated in the Texas Stu- dent Christian Conference at Rice Institute. In June four men attended the annual Southwestern Conference at Hollister, Missouri. During the Thanksgning holidays five men took part in a three day retreat, in which six colleges participated at A. and M. College. Last summer scores of Sam Houston students were given an opportunity to share similar rich experiences of fellowship and inspiration when the two Y organizations held a Little Hollister out at Pntchett Grove. Social activities of the vear began with a get-acquainted partv for Freshmen dur- ing Freshmen week. About eightv merr -makers enjoved the annual Y. M.-Y. W. Christmas partv and contributed, as admission fees, several baskets of fruit and candv for underprivilegei children. The whole student body benefitted h the lectures of Norman Thomas, Executive Director of the League for Industrial Democracy, who visited the campus in December under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Thomas spoke to several groups on industrial and political problems. With an unusuallv large membership and a fine spirit of friendliness and coopera- tion, the Y counts this a successful vear, but looks forward with high hopes of greater accomplishment in the future.

The 192.9-30 Social Calendar was begun with an all-college women ' s tea in honor of the new dean of women. Other interesting events were the freshmen party spon- sored by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. and the presentation of the play Rosetime by the two associations in cooperation with the Glee Club. In accordance with an established custom at Christmas time a joy festival was held; on which occasion the Y associations played Santa Claus to the under- privileged children of the community. During the fall term a series of travelogues conducted by girls who had recently been abroad were of special interest. The 1930 program featured a Charm School in which the development of a pleasing personality was studied. Group conferences have a large part in the Y.W.C.A. program. As an outgrowth of the 192.9 Southwestern Regional Conference at Hollister, Mo., the local Christian associations made possible in the summer session a Little Hollister in the out- skirts of Huntsville led by Dr. Walter Hearn of Columbia, Mo. and Rev. Frank Atkinson of Houston, Texas. The spirit of Little Hollister found continuous ex- pression among the young people of the college through Sunday ' esper services which were held through the remainder of the session. Another high spot in Conference life was a fall retreat sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. Cabinet of Texas A. M., where were gathered representatives of six colleges of this section of the state. Sam Houston was represented by five boys, five girls, and one faculty member. A splendid delegation of eight girls and five boys were also sent to the 1919 Spring Conference at Hollister. Some one has said that to go to one of these conferences is to experience something new and glorious. It is to adventure forth into a rediscovery of Jesus with rare leaders in the fellowship of kindred spirits.

The Quartet ' s ability to render songs appropriate for the occasion created a great demand for them in Churches of the citv, in student organizations, and on college assembly programs where they were given tremendous and repeated applause. This versatility in being able to prepare programs to suit any occasion, whether it be folk, religious, classical, popular, or humorous, is admired by all.

At that time there were a number of practice teachers who were working in both the first and second grades. A series of joint con- ferences were planned which dealt with some of the programs that were common to both groups. During the summer of 192.9 a formal organization was perfected. In January 1930 the local Primary Council became affiliated with the National Primary Council. The programs consist of papers written and read by students, and informal discussions. Light refreshments are seryed at each meeting. One of the most enjoyable events of the college year, for those interested in primary work, was the visit of Miss Emma Watkins, the first grade teacher of the Observa- tional School of the University of Iowa. baisdon, BY ' ERLEY, BAGLEY, miss SHELDON, MISS WORKMAN, BENGE YARBOROUGH, SMITH, WISE, MISS BEHRENS, MISS MATHIS, EZELL, HASSEL rudd, odom, GIBSON, SINGELTARY, DIVEN, TARBUTTON, HOPPER NLethodist Student Council H.

The council is composed of students from the college with representatives from Pre-College and Huntsville High School, and plans to work in conjunction with the First Methodist Church in a more comprehensive work along spiritual lines. Its members also expect to make themselves felt in a social way. They have semi-monthly cabinet meetings at the College cafeteria. The main work of the council this vear has been the adding of associate members to the church. This has been highlv successful and has brought more college students into closer contact with the church.

Manv interesting studies have been completed, among these were the programs on Texas art, music, historv, literature and of J. M. Barrie ' s life and plays. Two meeting; are held each month, one consists of the work of the society and the other is devoted to social activities. On November 8th all members of the society were the guests of Mrs. W. S. Gibbs at the Armstrong lecture. The membership is composed of voung women of abilitv and character who are active in various fields of endeavor. The high standard set in attendance and coopera- tion has been instrumental in causing the society to be recognized by all as one of worth.

The David Crockett Literary Society is just such an organization. Our organization offers to the voung man interested in these activities excellent opportunities. Even though the society at the present time does not have a large membership it has been experiencing a very successful year. The members have taken part in the col- lege activities and have done all they possibly could to uphold the ideals of the in- stitution. In the meetings the members have entered into the discussions and pro- grams with unusual interest. The organization has been honored by the visits of several prominent speakers who have delivered inspiring addresses. The David Crock- ett Society boasts of the fact that a majority of the outstanding debaters and speakers of the college in the past and at the present are members of the society. We would like to urge the young men of the college to take part in the clubwork on the campus, and especially do we invite them to attend our society meetings. roquemore RIGBY behannon WHITE STEVENS BARDEN BREWER WILLIAMS n p 9 Jii Z3I 1, 131; Sam Houston ' Literary Society J.

Flowers Since the year 1907 the Sam Houston Literary Society has been an important factor in the life of the State institution in Huntsville. While our college was still Sam Hous- ton Normal Institute nine young men got together to organize a society which would help in turning out better talkers and more polished gentlemen from Sam Houston. Fired by a noble impulse, they soon had the society on a working basis. Since those young men got together for their mutual benefit, more than a thousand students have held membership in the society. When the Dav id Crockett Literary Society was organized, an even greater interest was manifested in the Sam Houston Club. This interest was awakened because of the friendly rivalry which grew up immediately and which has continued until the pres- ent time. Looking backward we find that not only was the society itself pre-eminent, but that its members were leaders on the campus and active in every department of college life. The members felt a great loyalty to the society and were proud to be known as Sammies. To-day the Sammies are carrying on, endeavoring to keep up the old traditions and to preserve their rich heritage.

This society is one of the most democratic organizations on the campus; there is no restriction placed on its membership, as every college girl is in -ited to participate in its activities. The purpose of this organization is: to uphold the ideals and high standards of liv- ing exemplified bv Miss Caroline Belvin during her years of service in Sam Houston State Teachers College; to develop the abilitv to speak and read fluently before an audience; to attain high standards of scholarship; to form friendships which shall prove a joy while in college and a pleasant memorv; to make the college motto, The Measure of a Life is its Service, a living principle among our members. tarbutton rushing WIEDEMAN house SATTERWHITE MCDONALD MAXGUM PRATT MAY PELLY ' WEATHERLY ADAMS MOORE LONG Pi Kappa Delta The Pi Kappa Delta traternitv is a national honorary forensic fraternitv. Sam Hous- ton State Teachers College was granted a charter in this organization in Mav 1919- The debating team and the college as a whole feel that it is quite an honor to have a chapter on the campus because the membership in the organization is largely based upon the success of the public speaking teams. The purpose of the fraternitv is manifold. Its main purpose is to create and stimu- late an interest in the various forms of public speaking. The organization stands for the highest form of clean sportsmanship in debating. We must not forget that there is a thing like clean sportsmanship even on the stage. Furthermore, the organization fosters a spirit of fraternal love among its members. There are three orders in the fraternitv, namelv, debate, oratory, and extemporary speaking, and membership in the organization may be obtained through either of the three avenues. Coaches of the three types of public speaking are also eligible for mem- bership. There are four degrees of achievement possible in each order, and these de- grees are awarded on the basis of the number of contests won. The degrees are fra- ternity, proficiency, honor, and special distinction. The charter members of the local chapter are Earl Huffor, Ben Watts, Howard Montgomery, De Witt Chaddick, Arthur Hayes, Clifton Brown, and Ludwig Kucera. The local Chapter was represented this year at the national biennial convention at Wichita, Kansas, by Earl Huffor, Clifton Cox, and Ludwig Kucera. BROWN CHADDICK HUFPOR MONTGOMERY KUCERA HAYES The Huff or Club In the winter of 1919 the candidates for the intercollegiate debate organized the first intercollegiate debating society in the history of the college. It was organized for the purpose of stimulating interest in debating and named for Mr. Earl Huffor who has directed the debating teams in the Sam Houston State Teachers College for a number of years. It is appropriate that such an organization should be named for the man who has been largely responsible for the past successes of the debating teams. The season opened this year with only one letterman on the campus, Ludwig Kucera who graduates this year. Other members of the club are Floyd Burton, Clifton Cox, Grady Hart Bradley, Andrew Stevens, F. J. Robinson, John Earl Harden, and Alwyn Williams. From the club are selected the intercollegiate debating team. This team debated against University of Redlands, California, Mississippi College, West- ern Colorado Teachers, Central Missouri Teachers, Bethany College, Kansas, Alva Oklahoma Teachers, Kearney Nebraska Teachers, and Stephen F. Austin Teachers. A Freshman team was selected this year for the first time. They debated against the Houston Junior College. The club has had an enjoyable and successful year and with the interest of the members who remain for another year the prospects of the College Debating team are bright for the future.

The Patsy, a delightful comedv was presented July 19, with Merl Dowell, Gladys Hester, Odessa McCain, O ' Hara Chandler, and Wilda West carrying the leading roles. On December 6, the Little Theater turned to something yery unusual — a blood-curdling, hair-raising, mystery drama, The 13th Chair. It was cleyerly acted with Ruth McCaffrey, Bertha Fields, Robert Renfro, and Elbert Essery being the chief characters. Such a play has not been produced upon Sam Houston stage before and it met with great favor from the spectators. In contrast with the mystery play the third one was staged March ii which was a light, sparkling comedy, Dulcy. Bonnie Estill as Dulcy, and her husband, Terrell Love, were ably supported by Alonzo Wood, Bob Renfro, Emory Smith, H. D. Maxwell, Sibyl Graybill, and others. Unusual ability has been shown in each of the productions and the casts and di- rectors are to be highh- complimented.

Composed of C oach Jim Jones, Miss Esther Rae, Marshall Rix, Reece Brentzel, Captain Graham, Jabo Hathorn, and Mr. T. S. Montgom erv, it works out all problems in an orderly fashion that concern athletics on the campus. Some of these are the voting of T sweat- ers to the athletes, eligibility, problems in connection with the T. I. A. A. rules, and many others of similar nature. As most of the miembers were former athletes them.selves, thev can, and do work efficiently on the council with first hand knowledge. RIX JONES GRAHAM HATHORN MONTGOMERY RAE BRENTZEL JONES CRAWFORD Coaches Coach Jimmv Jones came to the Sam Houston Campus in 1915 and has been head of the Physical Education Department since then. He is a graduate of Washing- ton and Lee University; Coach Jones is well versed in all the sports — football, basket- ball, and track. At all times he has proved himself an able leader of boys as well as a splendid coach. Since he came to us in 192.3, Sam Houston has had three T.I. A. A. championship teams, one in basketball and two in cross country. He has his own place in the heart of every one who knows him; with his experience as an athlete himself when a student at Washington and Lee and his years of coaching experience, he is the onlv one who could fill his place in building up teams that will cope with the best of them. Molly Crawford in the short time he has been with us has come to be known as a good assistant coach and is doing valuable work in teaching classes in physical education. He was a student in Austin College at Sherman, and was a star athlete there; he was coaching athletics at San Angelo High School before he came to Sam Houston State Teachers College. Joe Kirk who is a product of our own Sam Houston is Freshman coach. He was one of the best football players Sam Houston has ever produced; he was captain of the Bearkat eleven for two years. Joe is one more worthwhile addition to the Coach- ing staff and physical education department. T ' Club Charlie Burris President Clyde White Vice-President Marshall Rix Secretary-Treasurer Coaches Jones, Crawford, and Kirk Sponsors The T Club was again organized on the campus in the spring term. It consists of ail men who have lettered in any form of athletics at Sam Houston State Teachers College, whether it he in football, basketball, tennis, cross country, track or baseball. It is rather a privilege to be a member of this dis- tinguished group. For the past two years this T Club has not been organized as a ■work- ing body on Sam Houston campus, but this vear much interest has been shown in carrying on the work of the club. With quite a number of the present members being freshmen, it ought to be in full swing for the coming season. S.

SAM HOUSTON SAM HOUSTON vs. LON MORRIS The fighting Sam Houston Bearkats clawed their way to 19 to 2. victory over the Lon Morris Junior College Bearkats in the first game of the season. The felines started off with a rush when Coe, sensational Orange and white half-back, re- turned the kick-off from his own goal line through the entire Lon Morris eleven behind good interference on the part of his team-mates. Not satisfied with this, Coe a few minutes later, dashed around right end for 36 vards and the second touchdown of the game. The black jerseyed warriors from Jacksonville suddenly decided that Coe needed watching and Sam Houston was unable to tally any more in the first half. The pistol shot at the half ended a Lon Morris drive that was acquiring serious pro- portions as the ball was resting on the 10 vard line and a few more plays would probablv have knight resulted in a touchdown. Lon Morris scored a safetv when Rash, a center, tossed the ball over Coe who was preparing to punt from behind his goal line. Coe recovered the ball, but was tackled bv a Lon Morris man back of the goal line. Burris played a marvelous game, bucking the line for considerable gains. He was the most consistent ground gainer through the line or off tackle. Knight, letter man of the previous year, showed why he was considered by many as all T. I. A. A. guard. He stopped many plays before they reached the scrimmage line and could be counted on to open a hole for the offense. Jackson and Willenberg turned a nicely played game at wing positions. Some of the players who saw action for the first time on the Bearkat team were Lowe, Ramev, Willenberg, and Whitley. While there was very little outstanding playing shown in the game the coordination of the whole team and the strength of the re- serves and freshmen gave promise of an outstanding team for Sam Houston. It was attended by the largest crowd that ever witnessed an open- ing game in the history of the college. The game was not as fast as it might have been if the weather had been cooler. HANNA CARRIES BALL FOR CENTENARY SAM HOUSTON vs. RICE The Rice Owls downed the fighting Sam Hous- ton Bearkats in their annual battle, Saturday, October , by the score of 7 to 2.. Never in all the years of competition bet veen the two colleges have the teams been so evenly matched. The feathered tribe scored their lone touchdown in the second quarter when Lee of the Owls broke loose and scampered around left end for 45 yards and planted the ball behind the goal line for six points. A perfect drop-kick added another point to the score. The Kats threatened in the first part of the second quarter. A long punt bv Coe and a poor punt by Jones of Rice put the ball on the Rice 12. yard line. Coe skirted right end for 12. yards. Line bucks by Coe and Burns placed the ball on the 3 yard line and missed a first down by inches. The ball went over to Rice; and at this juncture, MALONE Q i j .jjg jj- g niistake of stepping out of the end zone to punt, and the hustling Kats were awarded a safety. The teams battled on almost even terms in the second half. The Oa ' Is were striving desper- ately to score, and so vicious was their assault on the Bearkat line that they smashed their way to the Sam Houston 6 yard line before they were repulsed. The Orange and White line made a splendid stand within the shadow of their own goal. The Owls hit the line again and again, but were stopped with little or no gain. The game was witnessed by about five thousand spectators who were treated to some real football for this season of the year. The Felines played the whole game without the services of Jack De Fee, all T. I. A. A. center of last year. Tommy Rash and Conroe Whitlev plaved commendable ball at the pivot post. Charlie Burns also plaved a good game until he was forced out of the game because of injuries to his knee. Dovle Coe, fast cruising half, was also injured when he was fiercely beset hv the vicious Owls in the last quar- ter, but recovered suf- ficiently to continue in the game. Playing under a cloudless sky both team.s were ham - pered by the blazing sun which beat down on them mercilessly. The sun had dipped below the horizon when the final whistle sounded. IN THE SHADO V OF RICE ' S GOAL LINE SAM HOUSTON vs. LOUISIANA NORMAL V i GROUNDS After staking the Louisiana State Teachers College to a six point lead, the Bearkats flashed a remarkable offense and downed the Demons bv the top-heavy score of 16 to 6. Receiving the ball on the kick-off on their own 16 yard line, the Louisiana lads unleashed a be- wildering overhead attack that carried the ball to the 1 yard line a few minutes after the game started. Here they resorted to line ramming tac- tics, but their efforts were fruitless. The Demons then went into a huddle; and on the first play after this, Cornish passed over the goal line to his teammate, Berrv, for the first counter. The try for point, another pass, was knocked down. Soon after this, the Bearkats obtained posses- sion of the pigskin and carried it on a series of line plays to the Louisiana 16 vd. line. From this point, Coe went around right end for the first Bearkat score. So fast did Coe travel, not i Louisiana man could lay a finger on him. Coe failed to kick goal. The Bearkats kicked off and regained possession of the ball on a fumble. On the next play, Coe snared a pass and dashed i6 yds. to the i yd. line. Tambo Hardy carried the ball over on a center rush. The try for the extra point was successful, a pass, Coe to Jackson being complete. After the kick-off the Louisiana passing team, Cornish to Berry, began functioning again; and on a series of passes and line plays, the Demon machine transported the leather to the 7 yd. line. Here the alert Felines intercepted a pass and returned the ball to mid-field. The teams battled on even terms for the rest of the third quarter. The Bearkat punting kept the ball in safe territory. With the return of Coe to the game in the fourth quarter, the Kats turned loose another offensive attack. Starting on his own 42. yd. line, Coe galloped around left end on a sweeping run and went out of bounds on the 12. yard line, a run of 36 yards. Taking the ball again, Coe set off in haste around right end for an 8 yd. gain, depositing the oval on the 14 yd. line. Giving the DAY PLUNGES OFF TACKLE bcwildcred Deiiions no rest, Coe received the ball from center and was off on another of his speedy jaunts, and this time he went around left end for 14 yds. and a touchdown. Evans rammed the line for the extra point. Coe again took the ball and face around left end for the last touchdown. V. JACKSON SAM HOUSTON vs. CENTENARY The fighting Bearkats bowed gracefuUv to the Centenary Gentlemen for the third time in as manv starts. The heavier line proved too much for the line that Sam Houston had to match it vith. The weight of the reserves told heavilv on the Sam Houston boys, and allowed the Louisi- ana gridsters to tire them down and score in the last of the second quarter and the last of the fourth quarter. In the first and third periods, when the Orange and White were fresh, or com- paratively so, thev more than held their larger _ opponents scoreless, and what is more, threat- ti -at . . ' , . . ' ■ ened to score on the highlv touted Gentlemen. In the first quarter Sam Houston kept Cen- tenarv backed up against their own goal line for the greater part of the period. A kicking duel between Hanna, of the Gents, and Day of the Bearkats was the feature of the earlier par t of the game. Day held a slight advantage in the punting. The line play of Sam Houston held the highly touted Hanna helpless during the first and most of the second quarter. Willie Jones and Bob Knight took off honors in the defensive play. Time after time these two guards broke through to down the Centenary backs before they reached the line of scrimmage. Knight was taken from the game late in the first quarter. In the last eight minutes of the second quarter the Gents scored three touchdowns. After a series of passes which placed the ball on Sam Houston ' s 8 yd. line, Welch carried the ball over the line for the first counter. Passes featured the next two touchdowns. Centenary passing until they got the ball near the goal line when they resorted to line plunges to put the ball over. The third quarter passed with Sam Houston on the offensive all the time. They clearly out- played the Gents in this quarter. In the last quarter the Sam Houston boys outplayed the Cen- tenary until the last four minutes of the game when the Louisiana team scored two touch- downs to complete the scoring. GENTS MAKE LEFT END RUN C. EVANS SAM HOUSTON vs. A.C.C. -, B J CKSON Away out on the broad open spaces of West Texas the fighting Bearkats of Sam Houston downed the Wildcats of Abilene Christian Col- lege in one of the most important games of the 19x9 season. This was the first time in years that the Bear- kats have subdued the Wildcats in a football game. Last year the Wildcats wrecked Sam Hous- ton ' s chances for a championship; this year the revenge was sweet and at the same time the Wildcats ' chance to win in the T. I. A. A. was shaken. Last vear the defeat bv the A. C. C. boys marked the first defeat of a Sam Houston team on the Sam Houston field in three years. The game started fast with Abilene furnishing the most action. Abilene kicked to Sam Houston who tried two line plavs without success. After receiving the ball on their 40 vard line the Wild- lowi; cats started a drive toward the Bcarkat goal line. Under their own goal the Kats braced and with first down and six inches to go, the Bearkats held Abilene on the line for three thrusts; and on the fourth, Keys carried the ball over by inches for the first touchdown of the game. Keys missed the try for the extra point. The second quarter started off with a bang. Coe, who had gone into the game in the first quarter, was wearing the Wildcats down with his long off-tackle slants. After ten minutes of play Coe took the ball, faked an end run and passed to Schillings for the extra point, putting Sam Houston in the lead. With forty five seconds to go in the second quarter, Coe passed ! ; yards to Hardv, who fell across the goal line for a touchdown. The extra point was missed, leaving the score at the end of the half 13-6 in favor of Sam Houston. In the third quarter Sam Houston roundly outplayed the A. C. C. team, but were unable to push over a counter. The ball was seldom in Sam Houston territory and never in scoring posi- tion. Most of the play FRESHMEN GAME BETWEEN HALVES was neat the goal line of the Wildcats, who narrowly averted sever- al touchdowns. Immediately after the fourth quarter the Wildcats took the of- fensive and quickly drove over their second touchdown. With the critical point in view the Sam Houston Bear- kats literally swarmed through the Abilene SAM HOUSTON vs. A. C. C— ContinueJ line and smothered the kicker before he could get off the trv for point. The game featured the plaving of Flop Jackson, at end, and Doyle Coe and Jimmv Dav at the halfback positions. The speed of Coe and Day kept the A. C. C. secondary defense backed up to stop end runs, and allowed the Sam Houston backs to make gain after gain through the line. Dashing Dovle Coe brought the stands to their feet several times with his long zig-zag runs. At one time he twisted and squirmed his way 45 vards before being brought down from behind. Jimmv Dav stood out in particular when it came to stopping the opposing runners before thev could reach the line of scrimmage. His edu- cated toe took the Bearkats out of hot water several times. SAM HOUSTON vs. COMMERCE Playing on a water-soaked field, the Sam Houston Bearkats defeated the East Texas State Teachers College Lions by a score of i8 to o. This victory put the Bearkats at the top of the T. I. A. A. list. The Felines did not even have to exert themselves to win, there being substi- tution made throughout the game. Jimmie Day, Choc Beard and Boxhead Evans took care of the ball-toting for the Sam Houston lads. Starting off with a rush, the Bearkats scored twice in the initial quarter. After two attempts at the line on the xo vd. marker. Beard went around the right end on a lateral pass play for the first touchdown. The try for point was a failure. A few minutes later the Bearkats and the Lions backed up on their own 2.0 yd. marker again. On the first plav the slippery ball shot out of the hand of the Lion ' s backfield man as he hit the line, and flew into the outstretched arms of Willenberg, who ran lo yards for the second touchdown. The try for point was a failure. Not once did the Lions threaten in the first half, the substi- tutes holding them safely. Coe did not get to function, though he did go in for one down in the last quarter. RASH JAMES SAM HOUSTON vs. COMMERCE— Continued The Bearkats had the Lions with their backs to their own goal during nearly all of the second half, but were unable to cross the pay-line more than one time. A pass with Love on the receiving end put the ball on the ii vd. line. On the next play another pass, which Collier snared and then ran about lo yards, accounted for the last touch- down. The trv for point again failed. In the last quarter, England of the visitors got away and cruised around right end tor 19 yards for the visitors only real gain of the afternoon. The wet, slippery ball made punting and pass- ing a misery for both teams. The visitors got off a few bad punts and had one blocked bv Schill- ings. This was the first game in which Coe did not play, and it proved that Sam Houston did not have to have a one man team. Wade Beard stepped in and filled his shoes in a way that was a pleasure to see. Evans was at his best in this game, ramming the line for gain after gain. Only once or twice was he stopped with less than a five or six yard gain. Wilien ' rerg plaved a bang- up game at end, smearing play after play before they could reach the line of scrimmage. SAM HOUSTON vs. SOUTH TEXAS TEACHERS On Armistice Day before the largest crowd of the season, the Bearkats ran roughshod over the Texas College of Arts and Industries ' Javelinas from Kingsville, bv a score of 19 to o. The Javelinas threatened in the first part of the game, making its first down on the ii yard line. Here the ball took a reverse however. On the next four plays, the Bearkats set the Hogs back for a 2.5 yard loss and the ball went over to the Bearkats on their own 47 vard line. Day and Beard carried the ball to the 33 yard line. White got loose through right tackle for 14 yards. Day took the pigskin on a lateral pass and raced around left end for a touchdown. Char- li; Burris ' kick went wide. GENTS M. KE END RUN On a fumble a little later the Hogs secured possession on the Sam Houston 47 yard line. They immediatelv be- came demons and slashed and passed their way down the field. On three more line plavs the Kings- ville lads toted the leather to a prom- inent position on the 7 yd. line. Herecalam- WRIGHT DAY SAM HOUSTON vs. SOUTH TEXAS TEACHERS— Continued itv befell the Javelina aggregation as on the next play the Hog back fumbled and a Bear- kat recovered. A punt placed the ball well out of danger. Coe went mto the game, but the Javelinas were waiting for him. Toward the end of the period Coe got awav on a ii yard end run. Coming back fresh in the third quarter the Bearkats scored their second touchdown. Gaining headway with every down, the Kats offensive machine, though hampered bv the mud, began functioning. Day, White, and Beard brought the ball to the pay line for six- points. A pass with Day on the receiving end accounted for the extra point. The Bearkats received and returned the ball to the 40 yard Jine. Beard electrified the spectators with a thrilling run through the entire Javelina team for 57 vards and a supposed touchdown; but Timekeeper Berry thought otherwise and called the plav back, much to the disappointment of the fans. Berry avowed that a Sam Hous- ton plaver was guilty of clipping a Hog from the rear. In the last quarter Coe went around right end for iz vards. A penalty and two line bucks netted a first down. Coe again took a yearning to travel, and this run and two more line bucks, and the ball was residing peacefully on the i6 yard line. Coe took a lateral pass from Beard and sallied forth around left end for a touchdown with a Javelina embracing him around his legs. The game ended with another Javelina drive. SAM HOUSTON vs. DENTON Before the largest crowd to ever witness a football game on the Denton field, the Sam Hous- ton Bearkats and the North Texas State Teacher College Eagles of Denton battled to a 6-6 dead- lock on November 18. The game was fast and replete with thrills from start to finish. The Eagles tallied their touchdown in the first period. Getting the ball in midfield as a re- sult of long punt by Freeman, who carries dynamite in his right leg, the North Texas Teachers moved down the field on line plays, penalties, and what not. On two line bucks Cowley made it a first down on the 14 yard line. From this point Richards took the ball around on an end play for a touchdown. SAM HOUSTON BLOCKS KICK BY A. C. C. E -- — . 1 b] i m 1 I SCHILLINGS BliARD lant plaving at end of Richards all deserve SAM HOUSTON vs DENTON— Continued The first two periods were featured by the scintillatingwork of Flop Jackson at end, who plaved one of the best games of his life. Jackson was in nearly every play and many were the feathers that he plucked from ambitious Eagles. In the last part of the second period the Bearkat offensive machine transported the inflated leath- er to the 2.2. yd. line. On the next play on a fake pass, Coe heaved the ball over the goal line to Jackson who was all alone and waiting for the ball. Jackson made a desperate try for the ball but it was too high and slid off the tips of his fingers. The lines of both teams did gallant work, but the Sam Houston line proved the more solid when the goal was threatened. Time and again did the Orange and White forward wall smother plavs and throw the black jerseyed Eagles for losses. The giant London played a wonderful game at tackle for the North Texan lads. The work of Cowley, the punting of Freeman and bri mention. In the Bearkat rear cordon Gentleman Jimmv Dav and Dovle Coe did most of the ball toting. Dav played one of his usual good games and was the leading ground gainer for Sam Houston. Coe played brilliantly and saved the game for the Bearkats when he brought down an Eagle who was goalward bound with the pigskin tucked under his arm. Coe got him on the five yard line. The Bearkat touchdown came in the third quarter when Coe hurled a pass to Jackson who galloped all the way to the 8 vd. line before being stopped. Day cut ofl right tackle for 5 yds., but was stopped at guard on the next plav for no gain. Evans advanced z yds. over right guard on the next plav. Hardy took the ball and, behind the great bulk of Jack De Fee, pushed over the six points. On the try for the extra point, a pass, Coe to Evans, was completed, but Evans was downed a foot from the line which would have meant vic- tory for Sam Houston. The Eagles made a desperate drive in the last quarter that brought the ball to the 4 yd. line, first down, goal to go, and one minute to play. Drop kick attempted by Denton was wide. The ball was brought back as the game ended. FRESHMAN STRUGGLE V. JONES SAM HOUSTON ' S. STEPHEN F. AUSTIN In the most heartbreaking game for Sam Houston and the biggest upset m the T.I. A. A. play-off Stephen F. Austin came out with the long end of a ]4 to ii score in the annual battle between the two schools on Thanks- giving dav. The Bearkats scored twice in the second quarter. The first counter came as a result of a long drive down the field, Coe carrying the ball over for the six points. The try for the extra point, a pass from Burris to Dav was incomplete. A few minutes later the Bearkats secured possession of the ball on the Lumber- jacks 32. vd. line. On the first play Coe went through the line for a touchdown. Burris ' kick for the extra point was wide. The Axmen made a remarkable comeback in the fourth quarter to score two touchdowns and kick both points before the bewildered Bearkats knew what was happening. The first counter was early in the fourth quarter. A long pass and a series of line bucks carried the ball to the i yard line where it was carried over on the next play. The try for point was suc- cessful. The second Stephen F. Austin touchdown came late in the fourth quarter when a punt was blocked near their goal line. In the resulting scuffle for the ball it was knocked over the Jack line, where Nacogdoches covered it. A place kick added another point to the score. Coe was highlight of the Bearkat offense, making both touchdowns and playing a splendid game on the defense. Ramey starred in the line for the Sam Houston team until he was taken from the game because of injuries. It was a disheartening loss for the Bearkats and a tough break for them as it knocked them for the head of the T. I. A. A. contenders and placed them in a tie for third place. The worst part about the defeat was that after playing through the hardest schedule in the history of the school, lumberj.acks vs. be. rkats and winning two games they were sup- posed to lose, the Bear- kats lost the final game of the season to a team that had not won a game in the whole season, and had tied only one. They had lost to two or three Junior colleges. SAM HOUSTON RESER ' ES Winning onlv one game out of five plaved, the Sam Houston reserves finished the hardest schedule that has ever been phived bv the scrubs. The destmies of these lowly men were m the hands of Joe Kirk, the newlv appointed freshman coach. The first game was lost to Allen Academy by a score of 49-0. It was not a surprise to the bovs, as their ranks had been weakened bv men taken for varsity squad. The second game was lost to the Houston Junior College Cougars of Houston. Early in the third quarter Red Porter got through the line for the first touchdown. After a comeback the Reserves let down in the last quarter to let Porter sneak through the center of the line for the second touchdown. Final results of the game were; Sam Houston o, Houston Junior College 13. In the last game played on Pritchett field the Blinn Memorial College scored three touchdowns on the Reserves, to make the record of three straight defeats for the kit- tens. In a return game the reserves ran wild with passes to defeat the Cougars, 6-0. The Sam Houston men relied almost entirelv on passes, making over forty tosses and completing twelve of them. The Reserves were decisively defeated in the last game of the season by Blinn Me- morial College. The score was z -o. The Blinn men walked over the Reserves at the Brenham High School field without giving them a chance to score. Captain John Ager was the outstanding plaver of the Reserves and was probably the best center in the Scrub and Junior College circles. Clvde White plaved good ball for the Scrubs the earlier part of the season but was transferred to the varsity squad. Joe Lyle played good ball at the half-back position. Due to the changes which were constantly made in the line-up the chances of a man starring in the Reserve games were nil. ST.

For ivho can down the spirit of Sam Houston? — Mrs. Claire Ashford Ernst BASKETBALL Basketball After dropping two straight games to the Texas Aggies the Sam Houston Bearkat basket- eers met the Rice Owls in Houston to lose one of the engagements and to play rings around the feathered folks to win the other game. Havden Malone, Coe and Sonny Boy Wiggins plaved outstanding ball in this game. Malone was con- sidered, bv the sportsmen present, to be the best player on the floor. Jackson showed up well at guard. In the next game the Triangles defeated the Sam Houston hoop artists. The Bearkats were snowed under a 38-19 score. Hollybrock, former Texas University star and holder of the South- western Conference scoring record, was the big pain for the Orange and White. He scored 12. points for high man of the evening. Swede Hardy, former Sam Houston star was the best bet from a defense viewpoint. He covered Coe so well that the Dayton flash scored only three points. Wiggins of Sam Houston was second in scoring honors with 9 points. In the first twin bill at home the Bearkats split with the Centenary Gentlemen, taking the first game, 2.5 to 14, and losing the second, 34 to 2.0. The first game was packed with action, the lead going from first one side to the other. The first half ended with the score tied at 1 1 all. In the last thirty seconds Centenarv was leading, 14 to 2.3. Wiggins drew a penalty and two free throws, which he made good to win the game. There were no Sam Houston stars while Nolan was Centenary ' s best bet. v In the second game it was all Centenary. From the first the Gentlemen stepped in the lead and kept there for the entire game. About the middle of the second half it seemed as if the Kats would overhaul the Gents, but it was onlv a spurt and the visitors soon pulled hopelessly to the front. Nolan was high point man for the affair with 12. points. Taking the A. M. Farmers by surprise the Sam Houston Bearkats gave them a trimming in both games played on the local court. The scores were, Sam Hous- ton i6; A. M. 19: Sam Houston 2.1 ; A. M. 15. H. ' iPPY M KES DIFFICULT SHOT Basketball Coe found his old form in the first game and ran wild to ring up nine goals from the floor to score iS points for honors of the first evening. Both games were closely contested, the Aggies handling the ball well but being unable to put it through the hoop. The defenses of both teams were working exceptionally well, all shots being taken from beyond the foul circle. In the second game Lindsey starred for Sam Houston in the scoring part of the game. He sank four long shorts and one free goal for high honors. Lind- sey also played an outstanding game at guard. The scores in both games were tied at the half. In the first T. I. A. A. games of the season Sam Houston bowed to one of the most powerful teams in the conference. Commerce administered two sound drubbings to the Orange and White men on the local court. The scores were: Com- merce 41; Sam Houston 51: Commerce 1: Sam Houston 2.9. Playing a good, clean brand of basketball the Commerce lads showed just why they were run- malone ner-up to Daniel Baker last year. The two String- er brothers were the poison the Bearkats could not handle. H. Stringer counted 18 times in the first game and 17 times in the second. In both games the Bearkats pushed up near the vis- itors within a few minutes of the game ' s end but falling way behind in the final few minutes. In a dual conference with Daniel Baker, January i8 and 19, the Sam Houston Bearkats split the bill, dropping the first game to the Goats by a 31 to 16 count but grabbing the second con- test 30 to 2.9. In the final game Wiggins, big freshman from Buffalo, took off high scoring honors. The following Mondav and Tuesda - the Bearkats divided games with the strong Denton Eagles. The scores were; Denton 15, Sam Houston io; Denton 2.5, Sam Houston 2.8. In the first game Sam Houston scored first but was never in the lead again. The Denton aggregation, using a delayed offense and getting the tip-off every time, swept down to score goal after goal. Trailing far behind in the closing minutes of the game, the Bearkats rallied and went on a scoring rampage to make the game close. Jackson led the rally with won- derful floorwork and goal shooting. RASH PREPARES TO SINK ONE Basketball In the second game the Kats plaved one of the best games of the season, taking the lead in scoring from the first and never allowing the Eagles to catch up. Unable to use their delayed offense the Denton team were trailing eleven points in the last few minutes but put up a scor- ing rally to close up the lead. Malone and Ramey, the tall ones for Sam Houston featured the last game, playing over the heads of the helpless Eagles. In the first road games the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks soundly trounced the Bearkats in a pair of games played in Nacogdoches February lo and II. The scores were: Lumberjacks 41, Sam Houston i6; Lumberjacks 34, Sam Houston 31- The Kats started the first game in a satisfac- tory manner and were leading by two points at the half. This lead, however, was not sufficient and thejacks drew out ahead. On the second night the Bearkats trailed by one point with but seconds to play, the score being 30-2.9, when Donnell sunk two baskets in rapid succession to chase what hopes Sam Houston may have had. Donnell was the big pain in the neck for the Bearkats in the last game. Hargrove, Bearkat freshman forward from Buna, showed up well in the last game. For the first time in sixteen starts the Bearkats emerged victorious in the second game with the Commerce Lions. February 18 and 19 at Commerce. Both games were bitterly fought with brilliant passing attacks. The scores were: Commerce 33, Sam Houston io; Commerce 2.4, Sam Houston 5o. WIGGINS COE SHOOTS ONE Basketball In the first game the Lions got off to a nine point lead before the Bearkats scored. Led by O. Stringer, the Lions kept piling up points and at one time the score stood at :6-i in favor of East Texas. Five points was the nearest the Sam Houston players got to the high scoring Com- merce quintet. The second game was a nightmare for the Lions — it knocked them from first place in the conference into a tie for third place. TheKats ' lead was never overcome bv the Lions and was tied only once at ii all. The defense of the Bear- kats was working so well that the Lions scored only one field goal in the first half and onlv four in the entire game. Lindsey starred with his guarding and offensive play. In the closing games of the season the Sam Houston Bearkats pulled the unexpected and downed the Lumberjacks both games by the scores of 36-37 and 2-9-32.. Both games were pack- ed with thrills, there seldom being more than three or four points difference in the game. The first game was one of the best ever witnessed on the local court and required a five min- ute extra session to determine the victor. The Kats came through in this extra period to score two field goals while the Jacks were able to score only one field goal and a free toss. Grabbing the lead at the beginning of the first game the Boches boys got off to a flving start, but the offense of the Bearkats was working and they overhauled the Jacks just before the half ended, the score being 2.1 to lo. Donnell sunk a long one to leave the Jacks one point in the lead at the half. Donnell flopped in five field goals in the first half. In the beginning of the second half the Kats overcame the lead of the Lumberjacks and from then until the end of the extra period some of the best basketball that has ever been exhibited on the local floor, was played by both teams. McKewan dropped in a gift shot in the last io seconds to tie the MALONE p. ssES TO C9E game. The Jacks could not stand the pace in the extra period and left the Bearkats win- J. STEVENS Boisketball The second game was not quite so hectic as the first but it had its interesting moments. The Kats grabbed the lead at the start and were forced to relinquish it onlv once in the game. The score at the end of the first half stood at 17-11 in favor of the Bearkats. In the second half the game became rough, seven men leaving the floor on fouls. There was a total of 36 fouls called in the game, taking four Sam Houston men and three Stephen F. Austin men from the court. Coe was high for Sam Houston with 10 points. Donnell was high point man of the Game with a total of 15 counters. Sam Houston finished the season with an average of .417 the highest in several years. The team of this year was the tallest team that has ever represented Sam Houston. There were four men on the squad that topped six feet, and several more who neared that mark. Besides Coe, Malone, Jackson, Stevens, Rash, and Evans, letter men of the preceding year, there were freshmen Hargrove and Wiggins, individual players of last vear ' s invitation tournament; Ramey, left-handed forward and center of the district winning Grapeland team, Lindsey, reserve player of last year, and Jones, to bolster the squad. While the material for a team was good this year most of it was inexperienced. From all indications there will be a winning team at Sam Houston for the next two or three years.

Due to the fact that freshmen were still eligible for T. I. A. A. competition this vear, the team was not as strong as it might have been, for several freshmen i l plaved with the ' arsitv. However, the team was still strong enough to have a winning season.  The schedule was well rounded out with several high schools played, Houston Junior College and Allen Academy with home and home games, and a three game match with the Sam Houston Reserves. All the high school ' ll ' games played were won, and also the Houston Junior College series, but the . ,, f. Allen Academy and Reserve games were lost. All of the games were closely plaved and good sportsmanship was exhibited in the contests. With the freshmen ineligible ne.xt vear, the dope points to a strong Kub Kat team.

The game was featured by the pitching of Craig, fresh- man pitcher for Sam Houston. Craig allowed three hits and one run in the first six innmgs. With the score at i-i at the beginning of the seventh the Bearkats suffered a letdown and the Houston men scored 1 1 runs in the se enth and eighth innings to put the game on ice. For the Bearkats Holleman was leading in the batting game with a single, a two- bagger, and a triple. In the second practice game the Bearkats ' stickmen defeated the Sinclair Oilers 17-7. The game was featured bv the work of the men with the timber slapping the three Houston pitch- ers for the thirteen hits which together with some wild pitches ran the total score up to 17. In the box Craig showed up well with onlv a short break in the second inning when the vis- itors scored three runs. Malone and Holleman each collected three hits, followed closely by Craig with a double and a triple. In the first T. I. A. A. games of the season the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks took the Bearkats down in a two game series. The score in the first was z-i. Craig pitched winning ball as the two scores of Nacogdoches were unearned ones. In the second game the lumberjacks chased Little to the showers and fell on the offerings of Bond for a total of ten runs. The Bear- kats were able to pick up only one run. From Nacogdoches the Sam Houston nine went to Commerce where they split with the strong East Texas Lions, the Bearkats taking the first game, 4-2. and the Lions the second game, 11-3. Playing without Jackson in the infield the Kats lost two games to Marshall Junior College. The scores were 8-3 and 7-6. GOODRUM BOYETTE HOLLEMAN LITTLE iU ' ■■ ' -J. . A ' yt 4y k ' ' ' nrs TRAXT SLIPS A CURVE Baseball With eleven errors staring the Sam Houston fielders in the face the Com- merce Lions won the first game of the second series 11-3.

Kolb, left-handed batter for Sam Houston took hit- ting honors with two three base smashes and a double. In a double header for the closing games of the season the Sam Houston nine dropped two games to the Daniel Baker Hillbillies. The first game was a walkover for the Goats. Little started in the box for the Kats and for the first inning held them without a hit. In the second canto the Baker bovs found their range and began to drop the ball far out in the outfield. In an attempt to stop the wholesale hits Craig was sent in for Little. Craig lasted less than an inning. Rash was called from first sack to take up the hillock duties. He was knocked out in the same period. In the disastrous second period the Daniel Baker bovs stepped on the counter eleven times. Robinson took up the duties of the delivering part of the game and allowed five runs in the remainder of the game. Sam Houston scored six runs in the first, sixth, and seventh innings. The second game was a much closer afi air. Robinson continued to serve up offerings to the Goat batmen. Scoring one run in the first inning Robinson held the Daniel Baker men scoreless in the first four innings. Trant was sent in to finish the game at the fifth inning. Before the visitors could be retired they had circled the bases six times to put the game on ice. Little finished the game without permitting a runner to reach third base.

Track THE END OF A TOUGH RACE Though not winning the conference title, the Sam Houston track team of 192.9 met with fair success, winning two dual meets out of a possible four and capturing second honors in the T.I. A. A. meet at San Marcos. The Orange and White squad partici- pated in seven meets during the season; four dual events with the following teams: Houston Junior College, Daniel Baker College, Abilene Christian Col- lege, and Stephen F. Austin; the South- west Louisiana Relays at LaFayette, Louisiana; a triangular meet at Natchitoches, Louisiana, including Louisiana Normal, Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston; and the final state meet at San Marcos, which involved all the T.LA.A. institutions. The initial competition of the season came in a dual meet with Houston Junior College at Pritchett Field. The Bearkats decisivelv defeated the Houston track team by a one-sided score of 117 to S. The Cougars managed to eke out one first and a second place in the shot put and the quarter mile respectively, the remaining honors being taken by the Sam Houston team. The Southwest Louisiana Relav Carnn ' al was the first real test of the Bearkat Thinly Clads. In this relay event, Sam Houston failed to take a first place, but came off with two seconds and a third. In the medlev relav, the Orange and White quartette of John Stevens, Doyle Coe, Andrew Stevens and Charles Hastings placed second. The four forty relay team of John Stevens, Doyle Coe, James Dav and Charlie Burri s also took second place. Coe placed third in the pole vault. BURRIS, CAPT. J. STEVENS DRAKE GIBSON COE DRAKE GOES OVER The Stephen F, Austin College Lum- berjacks were the next foes to oppose the Bearkats. This was in a dual meet staged at Pritchett Field. The Sam Houston Thinly Clads were right from the beginning and clearly demonstrated their superiority over the Axmen. Coe, Burris, Drake, and Hastings showed to advantage by copping first places, as well as seconds and thirds. By taking thirteen out of a possible fifteen first places, the Orange and White stood far out in the lead, the final score being: Sam Houston, 9412; Stephen F. Austin, Louisiana State Normal and Stephen F. Austin were the rivals of the Sam Houston Team in a triangular event staged at Natchitoches, Louisiana. The Normalites won this meet by the narrow margin of three points, the Louisiana institution collecting 561 points to 5332 for Sam Houston. The lumberjacks scored zi points in the meet. Abilene Christian College next engaged the home team in a dual meet at the local track. The Wildcats were easily the victors, scoring 76 points to 40I o for he Orange and White. Stevens of Abilene proved his versatility in the track and field pastime hv winning first place in both the low hurdles and the broad jump. The next opposition was the Daniel Baker Hill Billies of Brownwood, who came to Hunts- ville and engaged the Bearkats in a dual affair at the local field. By making a clean sweep of the distance and middle distance races and placing regularly in the other events, the Goats captured the meet with 65I2 points to their credit, while the home squad could gather but 51I 2 points. HASTINGS HUGHES A. STEVENS A. C. C. WINS HUNDRED BY A HAIR The Sam Houston track schedule was climaxed by the T.I. A. A. meet at San Marcos, May lo and ii. The Bearkats finished second with 143 points, the championship bunting going to the strong Abilene Christian College Wild- cats, who scored 64 points. In this meet Sam Houston won first in only two events, the 2.2.0 yard dash and the two mile. Enough second, third and fourth places gave the Orange and White second place in the meet. Coe won first in the 2.2.0, and second place in the 100 yard dash. Burris won second in the 440 vard dash and third in the javelin; Hastings won first in the two mile; J. Stevens third in the 440; Drake tied for second in the pole vault; Hughes placed third in the shot-put. Outstanding performers and lettermen for the Orange and White during the season for ' 19 were Doyle Coe in the 100 and 2.10 yard dashes; Captain Charlie Burris in the 440 yard dash and the javelin; John Stevens in the quarter mile and the mile relay; Charles Hastings in the two mile; Marvin Drake in the pole vault and high jump; and Leon Hughes in the shot-put. Other men receiving the coveted T and their events were Andrew Stevens in the half mile; Larry Atkinson in the high hurdles; Seth Hoke in the broad jump and the low hurdles; and Tom Samuel in the mile and two mile. Men who did not receive their numerals and are de- serving of mention for their efforts on the squad are Jacque May, Ray Martin, Blake Williams, Monroe Gibson, and Glover La Rue. With four exceptions, all these men will be back to uphold the Orange and White in 1930. With the additional strength gained bv a host of freshmen aspirants, the Sam Houston track team of the current season should go far in their bid for the T. I. A. A. title. ATKINSON WILLIAMS Tennis Tennis, which is a m ' nor sport on the campus, is beginning to gain more popularity. This year we had eight contestants to choose from. We started the season with a four- man team consisting of Merl Dowell, Leonard Walker, Egbert Fischer, and Philip Whitley. The first match was on the home court, but due to rains, the match had to be played in the bov ' s Gvm. Daniel Baker won the match by a two out of three series. Since Daniel Baker brought only a two-man team, Merl Dowell and Leonard Walker fought for the Orange and White colors. Three weeks later, we made a road trip to Nacogdoches, Marshall, and Shreveport. At Nacogdoches we fought hard, but the Lumberjack racqueteers wer e too competent and downed the Sam Houston squad by three out of five matches. The following dav we played Marshall Junior College, and in this match the Orange and White Bearkats ■won the series bv three out of three matches. Centenary were certainlv tough cus- tomers, and they turned the tables by winning three straight sets. Two weeks later the Bearkats netsters met the Lumberjacks on the home court. Andv Smith, the strong Lumberjack single ' s star, defeated Merl Dowell in the decid- ing match. This gave Nacogdoches the victory by winning three out of five series. Then came the most exciting match of all, the T. L A. A. State Meet, held in Aus- tin. On Thursday morning, May 5, Merl Dowell, Egbert Fischer, Carl Young, Ray- mond Adams, and Coach W. W. Lee, left for Austin, where the meet was to begin the following dav. The Singles matches did not show up as well as the doubles matches. Our first doubles team went as far as the quarter-finals, where the Daniel Baker team defeated us after a hard battle of three sets. Two men of this years tennis team lettered, thev were Merl Dowell and Egbert Fischer. The team owes most of its victories to their coach, W. W. Lee, whose excel- lent knowledge of rules and technical plays aided them in one of the best seasons in the history of the College. Next year we hope for even a better team and will try to bring more victories than those of last season. CO.ACH LEE .- D.AMS DOWELL YOUNG TEMPLE FISCHER BUNTING f th hy PHYSICAL EDUCATION MAJORS Because of the increasing demand for trained teachers in Physical Education in the schools of Texas, the college made it possible for students to major in Physical Education. Theory courses are offered in the various sports in which technique rules and methods of teaching are stressed. Courses are also offered by the department in correctives, playground methods. First Aid in Emergencies, History of Physical Educa- tion, Camp Fire, and Folk Dancing.

Archery has proved to be especially valuable for those who because of physical handicaps are unable to take part in strenuous activities. The college boys have also been keenly interested in this sport. A tour- nament was held during the summer between the best shots of the bovs and girls in which the boys proved their superiority. Every Freshman girl who does not pass a satisfactory posture or good body mechanics examination is re- quired to take correc- tives. By means of asil- houettograph every girl is shown a picture of her posture and sug- gestions for her im- provement are made. In class work the girls are divided into groups ac- cording to their postu- ral defects and exercises for correct ion are given. CORRECTIVE GYMNASTICS p. E. MAJORS PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN A great variety of sports and activities is offered by the Physical Education Depart- ment for women in order to promote Phvsical Education for the manv, rather than Physical strainme for the few. SOCCER FOOTBALL Class tournaments are held every Fall in this sport. This Fall a good deal of ifidividual skill and team work was shown bv the girls who had played soccer for several seasons. Bv the end of the term the girls who were taking the theorv course in soccer were dis- playing a high degree of technique in heading goal kicking and team plays. COCHRAN TRACK AND FIELD Both a credit and a non-credit course is offered in track and field. College individual records are kept from year to year in the various events. Low hurdles, dash running, broad jump, high jump, discus, javelin, shot put, are the events participated in. A class track meet is held at the end of the term. p. E. MAJORS PLAY W. A. A.

Through the co- operation of Ted Sage who is the examiner of this district, the girls were given the Red Cross life saving tests and were successfully passed. The girls view with pride the emblems that it is their privilege to wear. Swimming is also offered as a fall sport and has proved to be one of the most popular ac- tivities.

Every spring the dances that have been taught during the year are woven into the theme for a May pageant which IS presented in the out- door theater. This life saving corps spring the theme of the pageant is the coming spring to the garden — the transformation of the garden of ice and snow into one of sun- shine and flowers. The flowers that are brought by the fairies to the garden are the wild flowers of Texas. The Rose Queen who rules over the garden is crowned and her at- tendants dance in her honor while the Rose Queen ' s princesses wind the May pole. WEST AND GARRISON THE WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The members of the Executive Council of the Women ' s Athletic Association chooses for the organization a major and a minor sport each year. Points are given to the members of the organization who participate in the particular sports. Honors are awarded by the council according to the point system of the Athletic Conference for the American system of the Athletic Conference for American Col- lege Women. A W.A.A. sweater is presented to all girls who have been active members for more than a year and who have earned eight hundred points. Every other year soccer is offered in the fall term, the other years hockey. This year was the year for soccer, and it was adopted by the council to be the major sport. The tourna- ment resulted in a tie between the Freshmen and Upperclassmen. Archcrv was chosen as the minor sport. During the winter term the usual sport, basketball, was plaved as enthu- siastically as ever before, the minor sport being tennis. The upperclassmen were the victors of the basketball tournament. Track and Field was the W.A.A. major sport for this spring, and tennis the minor. The association sponsored its first Plav Day which was a pronounced success. It entertained and participated in games with girls from the Louisiana Normal, Natchitoches, Louisiana; Stephen F. Austin at Nacogdoches; and Rice at Houston. The purpose of the Play Day was to become acquainted with the girls of other institutions through the medium of plav, without having the objectionable features that are connected with interscholastic competition. The W.A.A. girls journeyed to Nacogdoches where a similar Play Day was held and which was keenly enjoyed. One of the main so- w. A. A. PEP SQUAD cial functious of this year has been the All- College Girl ' s Dances, which were popular on the Campus several years ago. It was dis- covered that flappers could be made into sheiks with surpris- ing results. Altogether the W. A. A. had a most suc- cessful and profitable year and has received splendid cooperation from the college as a whole. fi « - -li.

I. A. A. championship in cross country in ' 19. In the two meets of the year, which were entered by Sam Houston, one was won and one was lost. In the state meet at Brownwood the Orange and White three milers finished fourth and last. The meet was won bv North Texas State Teachers College of Denton. Early in the season, November 11, the Bearkat team met Stephen F. Austm, at Nacogdoches, in a dual meet. Over a wet, muddy, three mile course the Sam Houston thinly clads finished second, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh to win the meet 14 to 51. Donnell, star of Stephen F. Austin, finished well in front to be followed bv Andrew Stevens for the Sam Houston team. Taylor, Bitner, Kelly and Lowe finished in the order given. Of this team only two of them, Captain Stevens and Kelly, had ever participated in cross country running. Lowe, Taylor, and Bitner were freshmen. After four weeks of cold northers, rain, and a three hundred mile automobile trip the Sam Houston harriers were unable to function properly in the high, dry atmos- phere of Brownsville. In the meet the Bearkats placed last with Stevens placing elev- enth in the meet. North Texas carried ofT high honor s, or rather low honors of the day with 38 points. Daniel Baker was second with 41. The time was slow, being only 15 minutes and 40 seconds. Simpson, of Denton, finished first. Grey, of Abilene, finished second and Elbert and Delbert Dunkin, of Daniel Baker tied for third. For Sam Houston Stevens placed first, followed by Lowe, Bitner, Kelly, Taylor, and Scot, in the order mentioned. Owing to the poor showing in the state meet and the few meets taken part in, only two Sam Houston men received letters in the fall runnings. Captain Stevens received his second letter in the sport, and Lowe, a freshman, received his first numeral from Sam Houston.

When the tide is drifting your way. When the crowd is cheering and yelling. It ' s easy to smile in the play. It ' s harder to smile when its different. When your best is a losing game; Even though the crowd is applauding. Somehow it isn ' t the same. Somehow you feel yourself slipping. You ' re just not the same any more; It takes lots of grit to keep smiling. When your ' s is the losing score. It is thus in life ' s great battle. As you play the game day by day; It ' s easy to smile tchen you ' re winning. When you ' re not, it takes grit to be gay. But ichether you are winning or losing. If you play your best all the ivhile. Even though the score should be smaller. You can read the result icith a smile. For ichether in life or athletics. The score does not tell all the tale: You may be fighting a mighty hard battle And yet in victory fail. For the game after all is in playing. And the way it is played is the test. The loser can smile tvith approval. When his playing has been of the best. — Selected I I Realizing that the children of today will be the men and women of tomorrow, the college gives special training to them.

We won the elemen- tary grade division essavs in both the Fire Prevention week essav and in the contest sponsored bv the First National Bank. And this is but a little bit of the prizes we have won. Our main interests though have been our Newspaper — The Herald — and our bird club work. We are now members of the National Junior Audubon Bird Club. We have worked hard on both of these and we can truthfully say that we ha ' e been better than at times we hoped for. In our regular routine class work we have been especiallv interested. In our geography we have made an imaginary tri p around the world, and in our history we have written and dramatized a play. In the same wav we have made all of our classes busv and profitable, making up a year of lots of work which has been fun. The seventh grade is the stepping stone from the elementary school to high school. We can just now realize the importance of being in high school and reasons for going on into It. The girls are now old enough to take subjects such as home economics and some science, and the bovs take mechanical drawing, which is certainh- a new field. The grade as a whole under Mrs. Hill can certainly feel its importance, which of course is not anv more true than for any other grade. The only thing that we regret is the fact that next year we will be freshmen with all their burdens and sorrows, but this must happen. NANCE, KENLEY.

The big thing, of course, was the ticket sale to the art exhibit. After much hard work on the part of all the grades, the fourth and fifth had to tie for first place. The proceeds from the sale has been spent for flowers which will beautify the rooms and the campus. All the grades will help in this flower work, but the fourth and fifth will be the main workers. The fifth grade has put out a little mimeographed sheet called the Fifth Grade News. This was of such interest that the sale went be- yond the fifth grade alone. The fourth grade decided that if the fifth grade could do so well, it could certainly do as well if not better, so that is the wav the fourth grade paper happened to come out. Ask any of the fourth grade pupils about poetry, and they can certainly tell you about it. The mam class work has been the studying of poetry. Perhaps some of you think it is not fun to memorize poetry, but the fourth grade pupils disagree with you. They ought to know, for they have memorized enough of it. The fifth grade ' s main class work has been reading. By working hard, they have increased their rate of read- ing, but in doing it, they had much fun and learned many new stories.

It has been highly complimented, and competent people have said that it is far above the average, and that some of the designs made by the children compare favorablv with those of the college students. This work has been much fun, for Miss Workman and N ' liss Sheldon make everything really enjovable. The main fun for the kindergarten, has been the block house. Each member of the class thoroughly enjoved building it, but the most pleasure came from the dinners and parties in it. The sand table has been verv interesting work and plav for the first grade, the satisfy- ing effect of building things and then tearing them up and making something else. The kindergarten this vear has read stories out of books, which is the first time any kindergarten has done this. Learning to read is one of the most important things in school life, and the method by which it is taught makes it extremely easy and at the same time gives good results. Reading has been the major work that the first grade has done. The project that the kindergarten has done this year was the illustration of the story The House that Jack Built. In all, for a vear of good fun and accomplishment, it has been the best.

Thus said a boy student orator at a student mass meeting last night to declare the rights and privileges of the students at an institution of higher education. Down with the faculty, down with their useless education taboo, and let individual thinking and research re- plant instructional abuse, roared the inspired one, as hundreds of pop-eyed and open-mouthed students listened in awed wonderment at the eloquence of their oratorical representative. The campaign, as outlined by the leaders of the movement, is first to totally discard the entire faculty, then to replace them with intelligent and responsible students who will be gov- erned by their respective classes. The present board of regents is to be re- placed by a coaching stalT. A fund is to be created out of the money for- merly paid to teachers for the secur- ing, preservation, and buying of spe- cially trained athletes of real ability. The Captain of each major sport is to serve as President of the college for one term during the year, thus gi ' ing a variety in leadership. Among the popular courses to be offered by the new administration are : football, showerbaths, dancing, avia- tion, swimming, rest gym, skating, campus courses, and astronomy.

Your most affectionate darling, Now, censor this will you, Editor. Hiinlsvillc, March ij, ig o (U. B.) — If women dress to please men, why do they wear long skirts? This is the question on Sam Houston campus today. The college newspaper recently published an article on this subject and ended it by saying: The long skirt idea is but a fad, for who can down the ever popular short skirts? The way to catch a man is through his ej ' es, the way to keep him is through his stomach — a word to the wise is sufficient. The main advantage of the long skirts, as seen by the revolters, is the fact that the dresses are closer fitting. This exposes less, but reveals more. The male students have recently organized the R.

This fad will continue until the economical short skirts return. With the growing popularity of long uneven hemlines of the women, and the increasing disfavor on the part of the men, it is hoped that Dame Fashion will soon decree that long skirts are no more, and the campus will resume its natural ap- pearance. SPORTS Ping Pong Team Wins T.I. .A. .A. Great fame and honor has come to Sam Houston through the efTorts of Mr. Winfred Flop Jackson and Mr. Carroll Boxhead Evans. These sturdy lads set forth on the annual tour of Texas to defend their ping pong title against opponents in the T.I.A.A. In these conflicting cam- paigns the lads from Bearkat land lost only one game and won (praise to their names) a total of thirty six- games. Rah! Rah! Rah!

I ' ve got quite a bit. For this reason I have written a little book called Condensed Education. It can be carried in the hip pocket, and anyone will be able to converse freely on any subject anywhere in the world, after studying my little book for only a few minutes. By studying it you will have more time for social engagements and courting, because you will not need that time for your studies. I choose the following at random: Malliciiialics Mathematics deals with why two and two make four. This is the reason for so many wrong numbers received on the telephone. . Algebra is XYZ, and geometry deals with angles. -An angle is the amount of distance a stick goes around in going around. Poclry Poetr) is the art, or rather the habit, of expressing thoughts, opinions, and other tj-pes of mental lapses in the concealed form of words, arranged in lines, which, being of one length or another, may or may not rhyme. The most im- portant thing in poetrj- is to begin each line with a capital. When out of capitals the poem is finished. C ;c ; j n ' Chemistry is an intensely interesting subject. It deals with why things are made out of what they are made out of. Things do this because of chemistry. The most abundant chemicals arc nitrogen, nitroglycerine, and vaseline. Great care should be taken in drinking water, as it is made of o.xygen, hydrogen, dirt, and wet materials. This is also because of chemistry. Everything is made of chemicals except glass. This is made of silica. Animals Animals are divided into seven groups, namely; cows, horses, rats, goats, and one other that doesn ' t need mentioning here. One can become very adept at telling these groups apart. Really good zoologists (that ' s the name of the men who live with animals) can tell a cow from a horse at a mere glance, and a cricket can be distinguished from a camel, for instance, by the different pitch of their songs. Animals are intensely interesting things to study, and they often become great household pets. Dorlots Doctors deal with the study of sicknesses, and chicken pox. Otherwise they are unimportant. However, they are a great help to sick people and have come in handy more than once, as they are very skilled at putting them out of pain. Only one nintty-ninth of the patients recovered last year, erve specialists are especially interesting. They certainly can develop one ' s nerves. One is always twice as nervous after getting through with them as when one started. JIou ' to Become a Millionaire The easiest way to become a millionaire is to have your grantl-pop leave i, ' ou a couple of million when he dies. This is ingenuity. An apartment house build- ing is also very profitable. The building of six such houses will certainly insure a million. Then, too, whenever you arrive in a new town see to it that you have only a dime in your pocket. All the great millionaires did. Bootlegging also insures a good income. In closing, I would like to say that this little sixty-three page book costs only twenty-seven cents at any newsstand; Foreign, 24 cents; China, 16 cents. As an added attraction it has full page article on The Difference Between a Horse and a Bicycle and Why the Horse-flies of Baltimore have Striped Legs.

LOCAL NEWSPAPER WTiNS ALL-AMERICAN RATING News has just returned that our own Scratches was classed along with the New York Times, Dallas Tribune, Houston Post-Dispatch, Conroe Cou- rier, Phelps Special, and Oil City News in recei ' ing the All-.American rating. Much credit is due the editor and reporters, for they have turned out a splendid piece of news. The students should feel honored by having such a publication on the campus. As a special favor to those who have not yet subscribed for the paper, this wonderful opportunity is ofTered: Send 25c in stamps or a post office money-order to The Scratches, Huntsville, Texas, and receive the back copies as well as copies for the ensuing j ' ear.

Don ' t wait, now is the accepted time. ff ' i jSAVti OTA Lt THE PASSING REVIEW Tckey Adickes renowned owner of the Flying Night Mare is begin- ning a campaign which he believes and hopes will revolutionize the auto- mobile industry in . ' America. The or- ganization which .Adickes heads is seeking to buy up all the Model T Fords in existence, thus creating a monopoly on that type of self-inflxted punishment. .According to Ickey the Model T is the climax of a- chievement of mechanical geniuses, and that the automobile of departing -lory really improves with use. The Model T, in the estimation of Ickey, is the greatest and most advanced means of transportation known to human existence, and that civilization is fast approaching its downfall if the machine is allowed to pass into oblivion — thus the move- ment to preserve the last of a great race. Hey, sit down in front. I don ' t bend that way. THE « ir:RAT€HES JEXTLE JOLTS There goes Jimmie Curtis gallantly swinging down the walk with a mod- est, sweet young thing.

Keep on going, let the other fel- low stop. 2. Never speak in a whisper or an undertone. Shout it to the top floor. The whole world knows it anyway. 3 . Don ' t observe the road laws ; they are meant for street cars only. 4. When you want to know some- thing, don ' t go near the library. You ' ll be overcome with horror at the number of books on the shelves; or else you will be over- whelmed with its beauty and can not study. 5. If you want a book at 4:00 P.M., ne -er gi -e up. There is always re- ward for the wicked. 6. Avoid street lights. You are sure to be seen. 7. Drink nothing but soft water, and then there will be no hard feelings 8. If you are happy show it by your looks; don ' t always wear a me- chanical grin. 9. Sometimes compliments to the opposite sex help out a lot. 10. Why not bring your Dad ' s car to school so you can have more fun and won ' t have to spend that time studying?

POET ' S CORNER The Scratches conducted a poetry contest on the campus last week for the purpose of bringing to light some of the wonderful unknown poetic geniuses that we have among us. Below we have selected the prize winning poem, Meditation of a Louse, and several others that re- ceived honorable mention: MEDITATION OF A LOUSE i am just a little louse; but i will write my pome for free verse week, i will write on love, love is where you try to kiss a girl, and if you can you wonder if she lets everybody kiss her, and if you cant, you wonder if she loves you.

Baird Speaking in fowl language, birds of a feather flock together. Ewe mav he pigeon toed, cock-eyed, buck kneed, have a chicken heart, a hare lip, a hawk nose, raven hair, bee silly as a goose, black as a crow, strong as an ox, awkward as a cow, wise as an owl, fat as a hog, poor as a snake or Job ' s turkev, swim like a duck, drink like a fish, bee as innocent as a lamb, or perchance ewe are the black sheep of your family and bv vour extravagance bring the wolf to the door. Ewe mav have buck fever and be weak as a cat, and light as a feather, but if ewe are, don ' t trv to skin a cat or waddle like a duck, but walk straight, be spry as a cricket and fleet as a deer. Don ' t admit that ewe are as sick as a dog or ewe will croak before ewe are three score and ten, and don ' t pass the buck or plav possum but get a bulldog grip on life and show your will power. If ewe are a bookworm be a shark in mathematics. Crawfish when asked a question you can ' t answer and bee as busy as a bee at other times. Ewe mav cast vour eagle eves down and pick them up again, showing that ewe are as sly as a fox, a wolf in sheep ' s clothes, as spotted as a leopard, or maybe ewe will laugh like a hyena to cover vour embarrassment, but I ' ll bee dog-gone if ewe don ' t work like a beaver, quit watching the cuckoo clock, and let your Latin pony alone, ewe will flunk. Then ewe will shed crocodile tears, become crazy as a loon, and maybe, swan-like, sing and die, or if ewe survive, ewe may go to the Dean ' s office meek as a mouse to ferret out the trouble and perchance be sent home mad as a hornet, a March hare, or even a wet hen. And then perhaps on your way home ewe will meet a road hog, run over a pig in a poke, your tin lizzie will turn turtle with ewe, let the cat out of the bag, cut a gash in the calf of vour leg, and break all your canine teeth. There is no doubt ewe are a hog and lead a dog ' s life at a snail ' s pace, and if ewe don ' t quit vour monkey business and leave ofl your parrot answers ewe will have a white elephant on your hands, causing a separation of the sheep from the goats, and get a goose egg at the end of the course. But don ' t bee as stubborn as a mule and let them pull wool over your eyes; every dog has his day, have horse sense and mule reason, and shut up like a clam. Ewe Bantam weight champion, ewe poor fish, go snipe hunting; there will bee other suckers when ewe croak, and when ewe do, if ewe are an Elk, a Moose, a Lion, an Owl, or an Eagle in good standing, they will take care of ewe. Don ' t bee a social butterfly, even if ewe are as graceful as a swan, or sing like a bird, or try to do the turkey or fox trot, the kangaroo or camel walk, the snake dance, the bear hug, or cut the pigeon wing with your skates. Don ' t smoke Camel cigarettes, use Bull Durham tobacco, chew Black Mule, drink moonshine, or ewe will be sick as a dog, blind as a bat, and sure croak. Don ' t have a backbone like a jelly fish but bee as bold as a lion, even if ewe are a little runt and love to play cricket, fox and geese, horse, leap-frog, and pussy wants a corner. If you get the lion ' s share of a big hot-dog sandwich maybe ewe will grow to bee a whale. Ewe may have a bad case of puppy love even if ewe are a cowboy. She may bee as gentle as a dove, and ewe as proud as a peacock or a hen with one chicken, or even a Detroit Tiger, a Pittsburgh Cub, a Texas Long Horn, or a Rice Owl, and go on a wild goose chase for her, but at any rate ewe are the goat and not the cat ' s pajamas. Just ewe two may be cooing like two doves and plannmg to build a little nest and maybe ewe will send for the stork to bring a pretty kid, and give him a teddy bear, and teach him to play the Stock Exchange, and watch the Bulls and Bears in the pit manipulate the Market. Teach him to beware of the wild cat oil wells and to play like a man. Whether he is a Democratic donkey or a Republican elephant, tell him to watch the English lion and the Russian bear. Bee sure to lay away a little nest egg for your old age. Do this even if ewe do fight just like cats and dogs, or strain at a gnat and swallow a camel, and she, who was once some chicken, is now an old hen and ewe are hen-pecked. Don ' t show the white feather, but bee game and watch out that the Old Serpent, who is as slippery as an eel, don ' t get ewe. At least, first have your picture taken for the funny paper, so ewe will see the little bird come out of the camera. Now don ' t take a cat nap nor hiss, snarl, or cackle, but crane your necks, snake out your alligator pocket books and pay some eagles and buffaloes for this, or if ewe don ' t like it just squeal. Some people are born crazy, some are tcmporarilv insane, and others take B. . 3ct, R ' ' ° Father: Sonny bov, this is the day of specialists.

This publication would have been an impossibility had it not been for the splendid work and cooperation of the staff. We also extend our sincerest gratitude to the photographer, en- gravers, printers, students, and faculty; and to all others who ha e shown their interest or helped us in anv wav. Especiallv do we appreciate the kind- ness of the Eclectic girls in permitting us to use their club room for an office. Rejoice with us, for when you see the worn expression on the faces of Bob, Bertha, Egbert, Mary Ella, or Shirlev Sue, you will readily understand that this year ' s Alcalde has just been completed. There will be no more sleepless nights, no more nagging to have your picture made, or begging you to buy a book — not until next year — but time to spend as we wish and not as we know It needs to be. Nevertheless, we have enjoyed it all and extend to you our best wishes. — Gladys Hester, Editor ST§ ©T® igT S F gT§ S=MrS ©Y® ®Y® fe rg) Mmwwmmmwm mmitaiiaafim i @iv @4v5 @ S | 5 @| S jv @ g 5 READ THE ADS AND PATRONIZE THE ONES WHO HAVE HELPED TO MAKE THIS BOOK POSSIBLE w If i If t t @ls ©i? @1® e J @ 5 @ @ SAM HOUSTON STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS H.

This is more than six times the average annual bill for domestic electricity. Electric service is, in fact, the cheapest item in the average house- hold budget. It averages about 8 cents a dav. Both the automobile and electric service in the home have passed out of the class of luxuries and are now considered as everyday necessities. The cost of electricity is becoming less year by year. This is due, to a very large extent, to in- creased use in the home, on farms, as well as in manufacturing and transportation. Mass pro- duction and distribution have the same effect on light and power rates as it has on the cost of any other commodity.
