-■ % ALCALDE 1932 ih this Volume, of the, ALOALD E or 1932 fiVes the memory of 3 fie oJ a,Veit Sam Houston Published bjy the Student 75ody of SAM HOUSTON STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Huntsville , Texas l DEDICATION The world is composed of leaders and followers. By their act ions, individuals classify them- selves and show their standing among their fellowmen. Some persons inspire leadership in others. By words and by deeds they stimulate and bring out that which is finest in those with whom they come in contact. With sincere admiration for one who is a leader among her fellowmen, and who has inspired all those who have been fortunate enough to be with her, we affec- tionately dedicate this, the 1932 ALCALDE, to Miss Adelphia Mitchell. I I 1 FOREWORD Believing sincerely that in the life of every great man there is an inspiration to be found for each of us, we have tried to build for you this ALCALDE moulded around the life of that greatest of all Texans, The Raven, Sam Houston, As was his life divided into thr ee parts, Romance, Exile, and Destiny, so have we divided this book. As was his life considered a success, so do we hope that this book will find favor in your sight. If, in future years, the book has preserved many memories of this college year for you, we shall considerit a success. Our success is mirrored in you.

I share with you your joy of achievement, your pride of victory. But in so doing I commend to you the words of Charles Evans Hughes, American jurist and statesman: One of the most important lessons of life is that success must continually he won and is never finally achieved. In truth, all you have done is to gain another level of responsibility in which you must make good. The farther you have climbed, the more disastrous the fall. As has been well said, it is not worth while to talk of the end of a period, for you are always at the beginning of a new one. You have been vigilant; it remains to be yet more vigilant. You have been faithful, but fidelity is an active virtue which demands its daily sacrifice, its daily response in energetic service. You have come to your graduation year at a crucial time. The demand for rigid economy is imperative and universal. The forces of public education are on trial as never before. In the field of teaching there will be a weeding out of the unfit and elimination of waste in instruction and administration. To meet the needs of the hour without sacrificing the intellectual and spiritual needs of the children is the problem that challenges your finest efforts. The measure of a life is its service. Sincerely your friend, Harry F. Estill. Page 19 v To the Class of 1932: The future, a somewhat wild and restless steed, awaits your mounting. There are battles to be fought in the interests of humanity and in defence of yourself. Through some fifteen years the preparation for your day has gone steadily forward. There should be few flaws in your armor. Your skill should be well-night perfect. It is yet to be determined whether you are a courageous chevalier or a triumphant Don Juan. Whatever may be your fate, your Alma Mater will watch your progress with a jealous eye, wishing for you all of those deserts which reward the efforts of those who aspire and have the heart to dare. It is my personal desire to see your name among those who have won and have been awarded the palm. Sincerely, J. C. McElhannon, Dean. Polk M. Kenley C. O. Stewart Margaret Flintom Elizabeth Meachum Victor Raxdel W. H. Adamson Victoria Frels Harriet Smith Page 20 The ?Alca i j To the Young Men of Sam Houston State Teachers College: Dear Friends: Do you realize that this has been, to each of you, a year of most unusual opportunities? You are among a favored few of America. Only about one hundred young men out of every two thousand young men of this country have been privileged to enjoy this year those splendid opportunities that only college students are privileged to enjoy. If you availed yourselves of those opportunities that were yours, you are now better equipped for life ' s battles than you were when Sam Houston first received you into her halls. It is my hope that, while here, each of you has developed in every phase of life that tends to make a man more useful to his country and to his God. Sincerely your friend, L. E. King, Dean of Men. William Longino Jessie Newell Mary McCrummen S. C. Wilson Joe Clark Julia Hill J. C. McElhannon M. H. Stougaard Page 21 The Alcalde, V DEAN OF WOMEN ' S MESSAGE AS YOU leave this campus with the long dreamed of diploma in your hand, do you ask yourself what college has meant to you? Has it meant rich friendships, wholesome pleasures, and work enough to cause you to feel that the acquisition of a degree is an accomplishment? Has it meant for you the ability to see the great and the small in their true relationship, to look at both sides of a question, to recognize and respect the point of view that differs widely from your own ? My wish is that college has meant all of this to you, and a further wish is that you may realize that now to make the most of your life you must find the work you want to do, do it generously, and find happiness in it.

Rupert Page 22 ■• DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE IN 1923 an expansion program was instituted which culminated in the estab- lishment of the Department of Public Service. This newly created depart- ment was designed to meet the educational needs of the people in this territory. Professor Huffor led the movement, and directs the department. For the benefit of those who can not attend the college and for the con- venience of the teachers in the field, this Department offers college courses by correspondence and through extension classes located in towns convenient to those wishing to enroll. In the 1931-32 session new centers were established and the enrollment increased. Extension classes are held in Houston, Galveston, Port Arthur, Wharton, Palestine, Crockett, Conrce, Groveton, Shiro, Baytown, and Fairfield. C. A. Parkhill, Augusta Lawrence, T. S.

Red Page 23 s _ y 77 -i ii 1 ■■ - ana fc v V S H M DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL THE Demonstration School is an integral part of the college. Its primary purpose is to afford prospective teachers an opportunity to observe the application of approved methods of instruction to typical school situations and actual experience in teaching under expert supervision. For this purpose it maintains classes with limited enrollment in every grade from kindergarten to senior high school with teachers holding at least masters degrees in charge of every class. State adopted texts are used as the basis of instruction. A small incidental fee from each pupil enrolled affords adequate instruction materials in every department. Such extra-curricular activities as are found in any first- class modern school are maintained. J. L. Pritchett, Florence Lowe, N. J. Whitehurst, Bertha Kirkley H. R. Brentzel, Mamie C. Lister, F. A. McCray, E. Van Camp, Leon Halden Pane 24 Tk REGISTRAR ' S MESSAGE THE Registrar ' s office is one of the few offices on the campus where all students must make some direct contact during their college work. Here it is that they register for their first courses as timorous freshmen, and from here as dignified seniors, they later receive their certificates of four years of work well done. This office has as its most important function the preserving and distributing of the records of you who are enrolled now and of all those others who have been here before you. From 1S79 to 1912, impressive old books contain the names and grades of students of those years; since 1912, smaller, but more complete, cards tell the story of the college record of each one who has entered here. You are writing your permanent record every day, and what goes down on the record remains, whether it be to your future chagrin or pleasure. Ellen K.

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! When in future days we ' re tar apart, Building castles strong and fair, Mem ' ry ' s fingers swift will weave a chain— A chain of these todays; In and out the threads of working days, Out and in the days of play, Until the chain is strong enough to bind ( )ur 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 bear; 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 tor Alma Mater dear!

Page SS 11 Sfkrr Demonstration School Page S9 J The J I THE TENTH AND ELEVENTH GRADES HpHE year 1931-32 has brought to the tenth and eleventh grades ot the Demonstration School several outstanding events. For the first time they became a regular high school, no certificates being given upon graduation. The Kub Kats team participated in many more games than in former years and won many creditable victories. For the first time in the history of the school they participated in the Invitation Basket-Bali Tournament sponsored by the college. Again the Boys ' and Girls ' Chorus, under the direction of Miss Inez Powell, has rendered splendid programs. The Social Club, sponsored by Mrs. Ellen Pope, has been a source of much fun and amusement. During the year there were eleven Texas counties represented in the two grades as well as some out-of-State representatives, but all of those students came together and made an outstanding two grades for the Demonstration School. Page 00 The zAlcaldt EIGHTH AND NINTH GRADES npHE eighth and ninth grades of the Demonstration School found the school year of 1931-32 profitable and delightful. Socially, they discovered that the year held much for them at their first party at Jane Hight ' s. Later numerous Christmas parties and special occasion parties kept up this reputation The students were very fortunate in having activity tickets. They took advantage of every opportunity to be loyal supporters of both College and Demonstration School teams. They enjoyed to the utmost the Shakespearean plays, the marionettes, Mr. Unter- meyer ' s lecture, and all other Lyceum programs. In their classes they had a generous activity program. The science class was very ambitious in the way ol field trips, botanical gardens, and flower collections. The class in foods was exceedingly hospitable with breakfasts and teas. The English and History classes made imaginary field trips. All in all, the program of the grades made a most enjoyable year. Page 91 Hcalde, SIXTH AND SEVENTH GRADES The class officers of the sixth grade were: President . . ... George Yick Vice-President . . . Frances Ann Smith Secretary .... Virginia Baldwin XE period each week in history was devoted to the Current Events Club. Officers were changed every six weeks and as no one was eligible to office twice, everyone held an office. The Bird Club was another interesting organization. Billie Pope was President, and Frances Ann Smith was Vice-President. The name of the Club was Junior Audubon Club. Dorothy Rhodes was appointed research worker for the sixth- grade class. She brought in all of the interesting work she could find about topics studied in class. In the wintertime, the Bird Club studied the nests, feet, beaks, and feathers of the birds. They had a feeding station, which was very interesting. In the springtime walks were made into fields, studying the birds. The seventh grade also undertook a program which interested the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs during the Washington celebration. Page 92 rl 1 l FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES npHE fourth grade has an enrollment of twenty-three children. Class officers were elected each term and the work of the class was carried forward efficiently. Outstanding in the classroom work was their study of current events each week. In geography, such things as an imaginary trip around the world were found profitable. At Christmas time a treasure chest was sent to some children in Porto Rico. The chest was filled with toys, pencils and other useful small articles. The fifth grade has an enrollment of twenty-six pupils. Two members of the class won prizes in the Fire- Prevention contest. The class also has membership in the Glee Club and at that time they assisted in the Bi-Centennial Washington program. Page 93 The Alcalde SECOND AND THIRD GRADES iP UE to the fact that Miss Lois Mathis was away on leave of absence during the year, Airs. Garrett had to take charge of both the second and third grades. With several new students and several children promoted during the summer, the classes were rather large, but work progressed smoothly. The second grade spent part of its time with the third grade and part with the first. Both grades were very interested in art work. They also found a study of vehicles and the making of vehicles useful. Four outside activities, the basket-ball team was of importance, and the games played with the fourth grade proved to be real battles. The two grades were heavy contributors to the play, The Sleeping Princess, which included children from all the grades in its cast. The play was presented several times and was an outstanding success. Page 94 Tk rl J 7 FIRST GRADE AND KINDERGARTEN ' I A HERE were twenty-four children in the kindergarten this year and all of them very active. The new slide on the playground was a strong attraction to all of the primary children, and most of them made much use of it. In the kindergarten room, the horizontal ladder proved most popular with the children. The use of it was excellent exercise for the muscles, and in addition tended to correct poor posture. The easel and water colors were put to constant use by the first- grade children. Many interesting pictures were made and some of them could be easily understood without the interpretation of the young artists. Page 95 V- ae.

ATHLETIC COUNCIL NE of the most important factors in the promotion of inter- collegiate sports relative to the college is the Athletic Council, which is composed of Coach J. W. Jones, L. E King, Marshall Rix, T. S. Montgomery, and S. S. Graham. Its function is to work out, in orderly, systematic lashion, the many problems relative to athletics on the campus. Some of such problems are those of voting T sweaters to the athletes, eligibility, problems in connection with the Lone Star rules, the maintenance of the stadium, and many others of like kind. The Council pertorms its task with efficiency, and attends to the problems that constantly arise promptly and w ith creditable decision. Page US T CLUB, 1932 npHE T Club is composed of all the men who have lettered in any form of athletics at Sam Houston State Teachers College, whether it he in football, basket ball, tennis, cross-country, or track. The purpose of this organization is to promote sportsmanship and high ideals on the athletic field as well as off. It has been largely instrumental in making the name of Sam Houston synonymous with clean playing. When the One Great Scorer conies to write against your name, He writes not that you icon or lost, but how you played the game. Page 119 - ) J..XKS 1 Crawford Kirk COACHES OACH J. W. (Jimmy) Jones, head coach of athletics at Sam Houston, came to the campus in 1923, and has been head of the Physical Education Department since then. He came from Wash- ington and Lee where he earned his letters in football, basket ball, and track. He has turned out, for Sam Houston, four T. I. A. A. championship teams — one in football, one in basket ball, and two in cross-country. He has maintained a standard of morals and good sportsmanship among the men on his teams that is recognized by all as a credit to the college. His years of coaching experience with his experience as an athlete himself at Washington and Lee have made him the only one to build up teams to contend with the best of them. Coach H. (). (Molly) Crawford, head line coach, came from Austin College at Sherman where he was a star athlete. In the two years that he has been with the college he has come to be known as a valuable assistant coach and is doing valuable work in classes in physical education. Coach Joe Kirk is a graduate of Sam Houston and is one of the best football players that has been produced in the college. He is the Freshman coach and this year he has turned out one ol the strongest Freshman football teams in this section of the state. Page 120 f Football Page 121 Day, Co-Captain Back Knight, Co-Captain Guard Wright Guard 1931 SEASON THE Sam Houston Bearkat descended from his lofty perch atop the conference heap in football in the T. I. A. A. and gracefully gave over the 1930 crown to the North Texas Eagles to have and to hold for the year 1931. It was not a football year at Sam Houston as far as a championship was concerned, but the play of the team was, in most instances, satisfactory. The rank and file of the Bearkat grid team was sadly depleted by graduation last spring and during the past summer. No longer did the great Coe skim around opponents ' ends for long jaunts to touchdowns nor did the gallant White run the team as of old. There were several illuminating spots to be seen in the review of the season, however. The Bearkats ' chances were dealt a severe blow by the cancellation of the opening game by the Lon Morris Bearkats of Jacksonville. This left the Bear- kats with no team to test their strength against at the first of the season. In a semi-raw condition and lacking the essential confidence, the Sam Houston grid warriors trotted on the field at Rice Institute for the opening game. Page m The Alcalde, Sadler Tackle Shields End Gimon Quarter RICE 32, SAM HOUSTON For three quarters the Sam Houston Bearkats battled the formidable Rice Owls of the Southwest Conference on something simulating even terms, but in the last quarter the almost inevitable deluge of scoring broke loose. Continuous substitution by the Rice coaches from inexhaustible reserve ranks wore down the Bearkats and set the stage for the final scoring melee. The Owls pushed over their first counter in the opening quarter, but the fighting Kats held them in the second stanza. Two determined drives by the Orange and White advanced the ball beyond the Rice 20-yard mark, but a score was impossible. Frye, Thrasher, Hammett, Mueller, Neveaux, and a dozen others, had a hand in carrying the ball over the Kat pay-line in the last quarter. The Owls made a total of 20 first downs during the game. SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY 20, SAM HOUSTON A listless Kat team took the field against the Pirates and were subdued in a slow game at Georgetown in a night tilt. The Pirates resorted to a series of line plays and an aerial attack to subdue the invading Felines. Page 123 Ide. J i KSi IN End Evans End Beard Half Southwestern scored early in the first quarter for the only counter of the half. The Buccaneer backfield hit its stride in the last half to chalk up 14 addi- tional points. The Bearkats took to the air but were unable to complete passes for any creditable gains. The Sam Houston injured list grew appallingly as the result of this game and the outlook for a successful season dimmed. SAM HOUSTON 13, TRINITY UNIVERSITY Huntsville was treated to its first night football game in history as the Bearkats returned home and in their old convincing style walloped a strong Trinity University team. Pleas for a Bearkat victory rose on the cool night air and the Kat supporters were not denied. A blocked Tiger punt in the second quarter by Archer and a quick recovery and short run by Co-captain Knight placed the ball over the last chalk mark for the initial score of the season. Love kicked goal. Shorty Whitley, Kat center, thrilled the stands by intercepting one of Galloway ' s passes in the final quarter and twisting, squirming, drove his way 40 yards to the goal line for the second Bearkat touchdown. Numerous fumbles marred the contest. In the second quarter spurts by Day and Beard carried the ball to the three-yard line but they were unable to put it over. The Page 124 rl j j BULLARD Tackle Love Half Archer Guard passing combination of the Tigers began clicking in the second half and the visitors penetrated the locals ' 20-yard mark before they were checked. SCHREINER INSTITUTE 7, SAM HOUSTON 6 Probably the most heart-breaking of the games played by the Bearkats was enacted when the Mountaineers defeated the local contingent as the result of one long return of a kick-off by Magness, star back. Sam Houston recovered a fumble on the Schreiner 22-yard line in the second quarter. Alternate drives by Beard and Day took the ball to the four-yard line, from which position Sug Gimon, Kat quarter, took the ball over for a touchdown. The try for point was missed. Magness took Shields ' kick-off immediately after this and returned it 82 yards for a touchdown. Pruitt kicked the goal to provide the winning margin. This momentary let-down cost the Kats the game. A drive to the three-yard line in the third quarter was made by the Kats but their efforts were fruitless as the call could not be carried over. Sam Houston made a total of 11 first downs as compared with the visitors ' lonely one, but victory was not for them. Page 115 lie Alcalde, Grounds End McAdams Back King Center SAM HOUSTON 6, EAST TEXAS LIONS With a drive that could not be denied, the Sam Houston Bearkats initiated their 1931 conference season with a victory over the East Texas Lions, on Pritchett Field. Gaining force with every down, the Kats zigzagged all over the field. The sloshy, damp field hampered open play some but a pass, Love to Jackson, carried the ball down into the shadow of the Lion goal line. Love carried the ball over on the following down for a touchdown. Love proved to be the best mud-horse of the evening and gained at will. An East Texas drive during the third cjuarter all but bore fruit but the Kats arose in their might and set them down scoreless. In the waning minutes of battle the Bearkats put forth a drive, the like of which had not been seen on Pritchett Field since the previous year. Down after down the Kat machine rolled goalward, unchecked. From their own 17-yard line to the opponent ' s three-yard mark the ball was carried in swift, powerful line plunges, only to have the work go for nothing as the final shot cut short the touchdown play. Page 1 26 The tAlc z 3 A Rogers, Bob Guard Hamilton Back Rogers, Jack End SAM HOUSTON 6, SOUTHWEST TEXAS BOBCATS The Bearkats for their next conference battle journeyed far into the land of bald prairies and shimmering sand hills for a battle with the ferocious Bobcats, which they won by a one- touchdown margin. Things looked bad for Sam Houston at many times during this memorable battle. The Kats didn ' t miss their cue and when the Bobcat back fumbled on the three-yard line after re- ceiving a Sam Houston punt and had been tackled, they recovered the ball in that precarious position. Whitley, Kat center, covered the ball. Gaining momentum with every stride, Day drove his cleats into the dirt and by sheer force and with the aid of the line carried the ball far over the goal line on the first play. The Bobcats received on their 22-yard line and rained pass after pass on the Kat team but the felines coped with them successfully and no harm re- sulted. Sam Houston had the ball when the game ended. This win left Bearkats in a presuming position in the conference race. Page 127 ,-rl 1 Lowe Guard Whitley Center A. AND I. COLLEGE 33, SAM HOUSTON As all dreams end in a more or less abrupt awakening, so did the A. and I. Javelinas jostle the Bearkats roughly from their phantasy and with a startling and whirlwind attack, pushed the Kats from the championship pictures. It was a strong team from the Southlands that took the field for the opening whistle. Both teams took part in the pennant raising and homecoming ceremonies before the game time. With a snort and a grunt the Javelinas bested the Bearkats in what was probably the weirdest game every played on the local field. Harbin, Cox and Crouch alternated at carrying the ball for the visiting eleven, and carry it they did. Over the goal line went the oval five times within the hour. Ma Smith booted the ball over the uprights for 3 extra points. This probably marked the biggest upset in T. I. A. A. circles for the year. It saw the downfall of an apparently strong Kat team and branded the Kingsville aggregation as pennant contenders. Page 1 2S The ri „i i STEPHEN F. AUSTIN 3, SAM HOUSTON A disheartened and disappointed team took the field at Nacogdoches and a fighting band of Lumberjacks received them, treated them cordially, and then calmly walked off the field with a 3 to victory. The Bearkats showed fight at several stages of the battle and their first downs greatly outnumbered those of the ' Jacks, but again the indomitable jinx hovered near. Thrash, playing his last game for the victors, turned in the best game of his career and at the only stage of the game where this was possible, calmly booted a field goal from the 23-yard line. In the waning minutes of play a determined Kat drive carried the ball down, down, down to the very chalk-dust of the goal-line. On an at- tempted Sewanee pass the ball bounded over the goal line and the Kats had lost another ball game. Page 1 29 he Alcalde. ■■■ FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD 1931 marked the first year in the T. I. A. A. that Freshmen of the conference were not eligible for Varsity competition. Coach Joe E. Kirk was given full charge over the Sam Houston crop of fledglings and about 60 robust greenies answered the opening call for candidates. Strenuous work and diligent scrimmage soon weeded the number down to approximately forty aspirants. The Fish had a fairly successful season, winning two, tying one, and losing two. The season was opened in the far-off south Texas city of Victoria, where the future Kats rose to great heights and set the Victoria Junior College eleven down with a 0-0 tie. Returning home they were hosts to a fighting Blinn eleven whom they held 6-6 until the final quarter when a series of costly fumbles and dashing runs by Lindstaeter, Blinn ace, put them under a 24-6 handicap. Meeting the Allen Academy undefeated team, the Frosh won fame for themselves by holding this team to its closest score of the season, losing by the margin of 12-0. Before an Armistice Day crowd the Fish, headed by Rushing, McDonald, and Baker, paraded to a 33-0 victory over Westminster College. The season was con- cluded with a smashing 19-0 victory over the Stephen F. Austin freshmen team at the lighted Pritchett Field. McDonald proved to be the outstanding luminary in the Kat machine. The Varsity will receive several promising recruits from the ranks of the Fish for next season ' s team. Page 130 The Alcalde Basket Ball Page 131 ' T . 1 J Lindsey. Captain Sou I KS XlCKELSON Jackson 1932 SEASON THE Sam Houston Bearkats had probably the strongest team to represent the school since the champion cage team of 1925. The Kats played a total of eighteen games and won twelve and lost six. The conference cage race in the new Lone Star Conference was one of the most hectic ever played and was finally won by Stephen F. Austin. Of these, 8 out of 10 won were conference games, leaving the Bearkats with a percentage of .600. The Bearkats had a powerful starting five in Sowers, center; Nickelson and L. Hargrove, forwards; and Captain Lindsey and Jackson, at the guard positions. Nickelson and Sowers were right in the thick of the conference scoring race throughout. The Bearkats opened the season by toying with the Blinn Buccaneers on the home court for a win of 37-23. Meeting the Aggies on the home court the Kats were forced to bow in an exciting game by a final count of 27-30. The Aggies were right and had their range of the basket and nosed out the Kats. Journeying to Houston the Bearkats had things their own way with the Rice Owls and emerged Page 132 The tAU 1 J Hargrove L. Shields Hargrove, C. McAdams victorious by a score of 3(3-23. This was the iinal game before the Christmas holidays and the group disbanded until 1932. The Aggies treated the locals roughly on their own court and scalped them to the tune of 28-21 in a rough-and-tumble aftair. Returning home the Bearkats entertained the Texaco All-Stars from Houston and much to the visitors ' chagrin handed them an easy 40-30 drubbing. Sowers featured the attack. The Rice Owls menacingly returned and avenged themselves for the previous damage done by downing the Orange and White by a score of 39-27. The Sam Houston men showed worlds of class in the opening conference game and stomped on the San Marcos Bobcats by a score of 53-32. Sowers, Hargrove, and Xickelson bounced the ball through from all angles. The next week saw the Kats win a fast ball game from S. F. A., the hnal champions, at Nacogdoches by a score of 33-12. Returning home they found the Denton Eagles in their den and were rudely awakened with a smashing 28-23 loss. Undaunted, the Kats took two in a row from the A. and I. Javelinas on the home court by scores of 42-29 and 47-30. Again ■133 10 The Alcalde, Edmonson Gratehoi ' se the Kats displayed much class in these games, with Sowers and Nickelson running wild during contests. Taking to the road the Kats were virtually eliminated from the conference chase by dropping games to the Commerce Lions and the Denton Eagles by scores of 47-27 and 28-21, respectively. The Kats jumped back into the running, smothering the Trinity Tigers and the Commerce Lions in games staged here. In a rough- and-rowdy battle the locals sailed over the Tigers by a score of 52-25 Surprising the over-confident Lions the Kats emerged victorious with an unsuspected 61-25 win. Meeting Stephen F. Austin on the local court, the Kats were officially eliminated in an exciting game by a score of 21-26. The Axemen presented a close-knit, hustling team in this battle. On the last road trip of the season the Kats emerged victorious over the Bobcats at San Marcos in a close game by the score of 26-24. Journeying to Waxahachie the locals turned the tide by a 37-24 count to end the season. Flop Jackson played his last game for the Bearkats in this final contest and Captain Reed Lindsey celebrated the end of a successful year by playing a bang-up game.

There were no reserves as in the years past. Enthusiasm was rampant from the beginning and so many frosh came out that it was necessary tor Coach Kirk to split his candidates up into two squads. After the Christmas holidays and a few practice games, the weeding-out process took its toll and Coach Joe Eckley was left with a working-size squad. This squad had a disastrous start, losing games right and left. A shift in the line-up had the desired tonic and our fish started winning games. Prominent among the squadmen of the season were: Walters, Munnerlyn, Hansarling, Beeson, Hobson, Bowman, Philips, Stoerner, Baker, Wendell, Anderson, Rushing, Richardson, and McDonald. Some of the victories boasted by the Fish were as follows: A win oxer Nathan Clothiers of Houston, 52-27; a win over Groveton, 20-17; Katy Independents, 17, Fish 37; a victory over Allen, defeat of Huntsville high, and a brace of wins over Pasadena. There were other victories, but the results are not available. Walters was the outstanding man on the court for the season and should make a valuable man for the Varsity next year. Page 136 f Track Page 1 37 Coe, Doyle Captain Shields, Pete Coe, Del TRACK, 1931 A LTHOUGH not setting sport partisans of Sam Houston on fire, the 1931 edition of the Sam Houston State Teachers College track team had a fairly successful season, as a survey of their record will indicate. Seven men earned their letters in track during the season, and these are Doyle Coe, Del Coe, Eugene Collier, Seth Hoke, Lamar Palmer, C. J. Shields, and Clyde White. The team participated in eight meets during the course of the season and a fair percentage of places were won in all cases. Five dual meets were on the thinly clads program. Of this number, three were staged at home and two away from home. The Kats were victorious in all three of the local meets and did not fare so bad away from home. In addition to the dual meets, an invitation meet was attended in Louisiana, a tri-college meet was participated in at Commerce, and the Orange and White track and field men were Page 13S -7 II Hoke White Collier Palmer present at the annual T. I. A. A. meet, which was held at Denton. The Bearkats managed to win fifth place at the conference meet. After going through the usual training session, the Kats called over the Lon Morris Bearkats for a friendly dual meet to start the season off. The Sam Houston men coasted through to an easy 90-24 victory over the Jacksonville aggregation. Pokey Hoke was the high-point man of the afternoon, with 15 points. For the second meet the Bearkats went on a sojourn into Louisiana, where they participated in an invitation meet. The Kats won only iour places. The next dual meet was with San Marcos and it was won by them, 693 2-473 2- Coe recovered his old form and was high-point man, with 15 points, which he earned in the dashes and the 220 low hurdles. White was second in both the dashes and came through for a first place in the broad-jump. There was an apparent weak- ness in the distance events. Page 139 Coming back to Huntsville, the Kats won a dual meet from the Southwestern University Pirates by a score of 623 -543 . On the following Saturday the Bearkats entertained the S. F. A. track team and sent them home with a 74-53 trouncing. In a tri-college meet staged at Commerce, April 25, the Bearkats and the Lumberjacks did the unusual by ending in a tie for first place with 61 points each. The Lumberjacks upset the dope bucket and won their first dual meet from Sam Houston by whipping them, 77-40. Donnell was the thorn in the side of the Kats, running up 15 points in the mile, two-mile and 880-yard dash events. Coe won the 100 and 220 races for the Orange and White. The Kats placed fifth in the conference meet at Denton. Coe was defeated by Snodgrass of Daniel Baker in both the dashes. Coe and Palmer, both of Sam Houston, won second and third place, respectively, in both of the dashes, however. Hoke, Collier and Shields also won points. White was injured in the preliminaries and was unable to participate in the finals. Page 140 Tt emus s rl 1 1 hi, Ross t L, Pare N; srl 1 1 , 1931 SEASON THE Sam Houston tennis team enjoyed its gala year during the 1931 season. Not only did the doubles team of Bunting and Fischer bring home the T. I. A. A. tennis championship from the conference meet held at Denton, but it also happened that these two stars eliminated everything in their way in the singles events and were brought face to face for the singles championship matches. Both waived the championship to the other, and as no match was forthcoming, Edison Bunting and Egbert Fischer are the co-holders of the singles championship ot the conference also. These men were awarded letters for their work and Bob Renfro and Jack Defee also received numerals for their efforts. The Sam Houston net squad auspiciously opened the season by soundly whipping the Lon Morris College Bearcats, winning every game with ease. Bunting snowed under his opponent, 6-0, 9-7, in this season-opener. Soon after this the Kat racket-wielders embarked upon their initial tour, stopping first at A. and M. College for a series of matches. Coach Joe Kirk ' s proteges were forced to drop six out of nine matches against the Southwest Conference veterans. Fischer lost to O ' Bannion, but Bunting defeated Emery Page 142 ; f «r- M M ■ - ' -V- - 1 -V- — — -— in the main events of the meet. Adickes manhandled Burton, and in the doubles Defee and Renfro won out. This was the only series of matches the Kats lost all season. Moving over to San Marcos, the netsters won six out of seven matches, to retain their reputation. Bunting, Renfro, Defee and L Nickelson came through with singles victories, and Fischer and Bunting and Rentro and Defee won in the doubles. The Bearkat tennis team continued its winning ways by taking five out of six matches from Southwestern University, on the home courts. Bunting and Fischer had no trouble with their singles men and won handily, 6-3, 6-4, and 6-3, 6-0. Renfro won and Defee lost. The locals were victorious in the doubles matches. Meeting our friends, the Lumberjacks, here, the Kats put on a little steam and triumphed by a score of 4-2. The racketeers cinched the match early in the evening, winning three out of four of the singles matches. Fischer and Bunting won their doubles in straight sets. Page 143 The netmen continued their march of triumph by humbling their third T. I. A. A. foe, East Texas, by a decisive score of five to one. A one-armed wonder by the name of Prim succeeded in holding Bunting to his hardest game of the year. The only match lost by the Kats during their sojourn in Commerce was the defeat of Renfro by Haverty. Sam Houston won both of the doubles matches. This was the last meet before the conference meet for the Bear- kats, and they started off in good shape at the T. LA. A. meet, which was held in Denton. DeFee and Renfro faltered by the wayside, however, and were duly eliminated. Not so with Bunting and Fischer, who fought through one gruelling round after another and landed, undefeated, on the championship pinnacle. The season of 1931 can easilv be classed as the most success! ul ever for Sam Houston.

WOMAN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ' I V HE Woman ' s Athletic Association is for the purpose of promoting interest in athletic activities among the women of the College as a means of advancing physical efficiency, scholarship, good fellowship, and sportsmanship. The membership of the V. A. A. is much larger than it has ever been. Membership in the Association is open to all college women who make a minimum ot fitty points each term. The organization is based on a club member- ship. The Association sponsored its second High School Playday this year with great success. This College, through the V. A. A., had the pleasure of entertaining the Texas Athletic Conference for College Women. About twenty colleges of the state were repre- sented. This was our greatest event of the year. Page ISS 77? rl 1 7 PHYSICAL EDUCATION HONOR SOCIETY npHE aim of this organization is to sponsor good scholar- ship, sportsmanship, and fellowship. An average of B must be made to become eligible for this organization. Membership is taken from the P. E. major or minor group. Separate officers are elected.

The outstanding social evening in the Atlas Club this year was Captain ' s Night on the Pirate Ship. Masquerades, a varied pro- gram, concessions of several kinds, and dancing made up a delightful evening. The good ship pitched in one of the worst storms of the season, but there were no casualties, and port was made on time. Travel stories included a talk on Mexico by Miss Carrington, a Baraboo (Wisconsin) Field Trip by Miss Estelle Sheldon, and Persia by Mr. Miller, for many years a missionary there. Travel letters were sent back to the Club by Hazeltine Jenkins from Tacoma, Washington, and by Eleanor Oliphant from Aleppo, Syria. Page 161 rl 1 l YOUNG MEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION SPONSORS F. A.

Page 162 rl J J YOUNG iMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION T} EFLECTING Christian ideals, service, and fellowship, the Young Men ' s Christian Association has endeavored throughout the year to instill these qualities into the life of the campus through weekly meetings, socials, retreats, and conferences. One of the aims of the Y movement, which is good fellow- ship, has been carried out in the annual get-acquainted party, and Christmas party; both of which were attended jointly by the Y. M. and Y. W. As a result of these entertainments there has been a slightly larger enrollment in both organizations. Outside relations have also been of illimitable value. One, which was most enlightening, was the Southwestern Conference, held in the summer of 1931 at Hollister, Missouri. In March, 1931, a delegation of thirty-five Huntsville students held a joint meeting with students of Stephen F. Austin State Teachers College in Nacog- doches. The Y. M.C.A. and Y. W. C. A. also had delegates at the Interracial Convention at Dallas in December, 1931. 1931-32 has brought many new, worth-while experiences into the lives of the Y. M. C. A. members, and offers, in the next Hollister, Missouri, Conference, to be held this summer, the zenith of associations for those members who will attend. Page 163 7 ) One of the groups of the V. W.

Dorothy Allen Nezelle Keese Sponsor President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Gladys Simms Sue Anna Smith THE Young Women ' s Christian Association developed its year ' s program theme, Christian Friendship, through its regular Wednesday morning meet- ings, special vesper services and fellowship programs. This theme was promoted also by the Annual Freshman Party, the All- college women ' s tea, cook-the-supper parties, the Christmas celebration, the Community Sunrise Easter Service at the Sam Houston Park, the Spring Re- treat, the friend-of-the-week plan and by various other interesting ways. Oppor- tunities for widening of the horizons through fellowship with students and leaders at home and abroad were afforded by the Southwest Regional Y. M. C. A. and Y W. C. A. Conference at Hollister, Missouri, by the Quadrennial Student Volunteer Conference at Buffalo, New York, by the joint Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Conference at the State University at Austin, and through the Christian Conference at Texas A. and M. College. International interest was further stimulated by pageants, plays, and a series of discussions on disarmament sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and the local chapter of the International Relations Club. The spiritual life of the campus was strengthened through the work of men such as Dr. Lawrence Wharton, Dad Elliott, and others who were brought to our campus as guest speakers under the auspices of the Y.

The purpose of the club is to promote art interest on the campus by bringing exhibits, lectures, and other attractions pertaining to art study; to sponsor art programs; to co- operate with other organizations in activities which relate to art; and to con- duct study programs in the regular meetings. The most successful under- takings of the Art Club this term were the sponsoring of a Leap Year Dance and an Art Exhibit. Page 1 6S -J PENNYBACKER, CLUB 1932 SPONSORS Miss Mamie C.

The society was named the Anne Gibbs Literary Society in appreciation of the unceasing interest and aid of Mrs. W. S. Gibbs in fostering the literary activities among the girls at Sam Houston State Teachers College. The promotion of scholarship among its members, the development of friendship and good will, and the provision for training in story-telling, debating, and parliamentary procedure were goals set by the new organization. With these purposes reflected in both their literary and social activities, the Anne Gibbs Literary Society was soon recognized as one of the most active organizations in the campus. It has in its permanent possession a loving cup presented by the faculty of S. H. S. T. C. for having had successful entrants in the story-telling and extemporaneous- speaking contests for three successive years. The Anne Gibbs contestants, Gladys Simms and Johnie McElhannon, also won temporary possession of the Faculty Trophies which were presented to the societies in 1931. During the 1931-32 session the Society has met twice a month for business and social meetings. They presented the play, The French Maid and the Phonograph, during the winter term. Their many social meetings included a Kid Party, Old-Fashioned Christmas Party, and several clever bridge parties. Throughout the year the Anne Gibbs members of 1931-32 have tried to develop those personal qualities which are given as ideals in the formal initiation. Page 171 fl J Icalde.

It aspires to be a force to perpetuate those college traditions dear to the heart of that honored lady — ideals of scholarship, of friendship, and of standards of high living. The Society is constitutionally limited to forty members, but its friendliness is offered to all College girls. The Society ' s activities have been varied; the first term ' s work was a study of contemporary history, domestic and foreign; the second, a study of the short story; the third, the novel. Social meetings have been interspersed with the regular ones, and a real old-fashioned Christmas-tree party cheered the members for the holidays. Especial efforts have been made to encourage the newcomers to our campus to join and carry on the traditions of our Society. Under the wise guidance of our sponsor, Doctor Stewart, we feel we have in some degree lived up to our College motto: The measure of a life is its service.

An outstanding event each year is the football banquet given in honor and appreciation of the long hours of practice and hard fighting our Bearkats do for the Orange and White. The formal initiation for new members elected in the fall term followed the customary plan of a candlelight service which for many years has impressed the incoming members with the Eclectic idea of friendship and loyalty to the Society and the school of which it is a part. The Eclectics welcomed as their sponsor for the year Miss Margaret Flintom, whose interest and help have been greatly appre- ciated. The Eclectics meet every second and fourth Monday in the month, studying and playing together. This fall the programs centered around the modern drama. Many of the Eclectics will be leaving the campus with gradu- ation, and a large number of underclassmen will be voted in to fill these vacancies. Our sincere desire for the members of the Eclectics is that the spirit of the years before will guide those in the future to accomplish those things which will bring happiness to its members.

Page 177 The Alcalde, SAM HOUSTON LITTLE THEATRE AS IN the past, the Sam Houston Little Theatre has had a very successful year. This club, under the direction of Mr. Polk M. Kenley, is one of the most important organi- zations on the campus. Being a member of this organiza- tion affords the student recreational entertainment as well as educational guidance in this line of work. The Little Theatre made its initial presentation toward the latter part of fall term. This play was a farce in three acts entitled, It Won ' t Be Long Now. Virginia Kohler, the ravishing blond of former successes, took the heroine ' s part as Miss Ann Winston; Alonzo Wood as Robert Preston, the hard boiled business man, played opposite Miss Kohler. These two stars were assisted by a well-trained cast of four- teen characters. This play in comparison with other pro- ductions was a huge success. Page 17 S The Tl„„l J„ TX7TTH the District One Act Play contest and other interesting programs on the campus the Little Theatre did not present a play in the Winter term. For the Spring term, however, it is planned to present a cycle in the life of George Washington. Mr. Kenley wishes to take this opportunity to thank the business men of the town who have helped to make his productions possible. Mr. Kenley has been assisted in the Little Theatre work by Miss Victoria Frels, Miss Mamie Lister and Mrs. Ernestine Carrol.

The Council meets bi-monthly for the purpose of interesting college students in the program of the church. Appointed members serve on the evangelistic committee of the Young People ' s Division, on the welcoming committee at church services, and social service com- mittee, including visiting the sick students. The outstanding achieve- ments during the 1931-32 college year have been the enrolling of seventy-five student associate members in the local church, and greatly increasing attendance on the part of students at Sunday School and Church services. During the year the Council has been entertained at several social events. Page ISO Scratches Page I SI FOREWORD HP HIS section of humor is appropriately named Scratches for from it we have scratched all except the foolish and laugh- provoking. ( )ur pens even scratched as we prepared it for the publishers; and we scratched our heads for ideas. The readers, also, will probably scratch their heads trying to figure out just what the points are in most of our jokes. Our sponsor scratched out a few of our original features; the innocent victims of this humor section may like to cruelly scratch the eyes of the staff. But seriously, we hope that the Scratches will not be too severe to quickly heal, and nothing but the spirit of good fun remain. PagelS2 DEDICATION HP HERE is nothing new in the universe, and yet there are those who are look- ing to the Humor Section to pull a new gag- When you read this section, and your thoughts run something like this, Well, for crying out loud! I fell out of my perambulator when I first heard that one , just remember that the humor editor is only human after all. To you who have brilliant ideas (three days late), we do most maliciously dedicate this section, known (to those who know it at all) as Scratches. Page I S3 Ide. Page I Si 3 8k Tk CAf. Mac was making one of his many visits to the Dean ' s office. I wasn ' t reported in but three subjects this term, he proudly states. I suppose the cause of this is too many girls, reflects the Dean. Oh, no, sir; she didn ' t help a bit. There ensues a five-minute talk on nothing in particular, as far as the one member of the audience is concerned. He suddenly awakes at the end of the speech to exclaim : Yes, sir, I ' ll do better next time. Page IS! Ide. LOST AND FOUND DEPARTMENT LOST: A Tan snake skin girl ' s purse.

He looks for his picture. 2. He looks to see how many times his picture is in it. 3. He looks for his girl ' s picture 4. He gazes fondly at it. 5. He looks to see if that clever joke he pulled in English rated space in the humor section. (i. He looks to see who made the favorite section. 7. He looks at his own picture. 8. He reads the rest of the book to see if his name is in it any place. 9. He closes the book. 10. He wonders if that picture of himself is as good as the proof looked. 11. He opens the ALCALDE and looks at his picture again. 12. He slams the editor because his picture doesn ' t look like him. 13. He looks at his picture to see it it is as bad as it first looked. 14. He continues to look at his picture, wondering hew a boy like himself ever registered a picture like that. Page ItSS Th DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK why you should study, dear college student! (If you have heard this before — don ' t read it). The more you study, the more you learn, the more you learn the more you have to remember, the more you have to remember the more you forget, and the more you forget the less you know — so why study? ON THE OTHER HAND— The less you study the less you learn, the less you learn the less you have to remember, the less you have to remember, the less you forget, and the less you forget the more you know — so why study?

Perhaps that is why many students fail on some examinations. We feel that the following simple questions are as sane as some asked on some exams we have to take, so we feel we have a right to ask the professors to answer them : These questions must be answered carefully, truthfully, and humorously: 1. Are you married, single, or otherwise? 2. Do you reside in this city? If so, why don ' t you move? 3. What pull (or bull) did you employ to get a position in this institution? 4. Do you expect to hold your position, and if so do you believe that it will affect the future enrollment of the college? 5. How do you rate with the students? 6. Do you have fallen arches or athlete ' s foot? 7. Have you at any time had garments on your back? If so, how did you get rid of same? 8. Did your ancestors hang by their tails or by a rope? 9. If you should be elected dean would you invite students to your home for dinner at least three times a week? NOTE: The last two questions are valued at one hundred each and they simply must be answered! Page 191 MADAM ZU ZU ' S ADVICE TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Deareth Madame Thu Thu: I ' m just a thweet little girl at the Thingletary Houth, but I have my thorrows ath well ath my thunthine. My betht out-of-town boy-friend called up to the houth the other night and a thenceleth upper-clathman told him I wath out on a date. Naturally thee thould have known to thay I wath thudying with thome girlth. Now he won ' t thpeak to me. What can I do? Yourth Tearfully, Pauline Hammond Dear Pauline: What you need is a dual personality — or in other words, the gift of omnipresence. You can ' t eat your cake and have it, but why discuss pastry? Thincerely, Zu Zu, Sorceress Dear. Mme. Zu Zu: Can you tell me any logical reason why a fellow shouldn ' t go in swimming in January if he wants to? The rather razberryish pub- licity I ' ve been getting is making the girl of my dreams a bit offish. Well? It ' s up to you I enclose a stamped envelope So long, Roy Moore My Dear Roy: There is nothing in the statutes of our country to prohibit swimming in January except in the Congressional goldfish bowl- however, statistics show that 99.99% of those who indulge are all wet. Your social standing is likely to be altered and in the face of the depression it would be well to consider the shrinkage. Try some other method of getting yourself in the limelight. Affectionally, Mme. Zu Zu. Page 192 Tl 1 J Dearest Zu Zu: My dream lover is a tall blonde — my steady is a brunette, just slightly taller than me — I. But I like blood-and-bones men the best. I ' ve tried Ovaltine to no avail, so as a last resort I ' m writing you. Devotedly, Evelyn Bibens. Dear Evelyn : Refer the young man of your choice to Benarr McFatten and try blondex if this fails — don ' t forget — it pays to advertise. Solicitiously, Madame Zu Zu. Dear Madam: I realize that I ' ve been quite a gad about this year — galavanting around with so many different girls. But I ' m ready to turn over a new leaf — to settle on one steady girl. Lives there such a jewel? How and where? Brooks Parkhill. Dear Brooks: Your problem is very grave, my boy, however, there is a solu- tion. In a little hamlet somewhere between Conroe and New Waverly far out in the great forest behind the big slough resides the spotless pearl that you desire. Seek her, my son, and may Heaven help you. Yours, Madam Zu Zu. Zu Pal : How ' s tricks? What was I gonna ask you — seems as though 1 was worried or sumpin. Oh yes! I was! The girl friend was to meet me here at Jeff ' s this period and it looks like I ' m being stood up. Kind of silly feeling, ain ' t it? What can you suggest for — wait. Here she comes now! Be good. As ever and ever. Slim Nichelson. Dear Mr. Nick: Why waste a two-cent stamp? I ' ll have you know I ' m a busy woman and hoping you are the same. Mme. Zu Zu.

When I begin a tournament I recall the first time that I made a hole in one. I have concentrated on it so hard that the neurone connections have been firmly established, and the exact movements of that one action automatically are re- peated and as a result each hole is made in one stroke. I am then proclaimed winner of the tournament. Extracts from My Success by T. S. Montgomery. A COMMON TRAGEDY She looked at her paper; She looked at her pen ; She looked at her subject And tried to begin. She smoothed out her paper; She picked up her pen ; She frowned at the subject; And vowed she ' d begin. She crumpled her paper; She flung down her pen ; She studied her subject, But couldn ' t begin. She had it at last! Ah, how her heart sang! She picked up the pen, And then the bell rang!

HEAVY JACKSON ' S PHILOSOPHY: If you save money you ' re a miser. If you spend it you ' re a spendthrift. If you get it you ' re a grafter. So — What ' s the use? Blanche: I ' m embroidering some initials. Do you by any chance have any Old English B ' s? Hank: No, but I have an old English D. Darling, he cried in tender tones, I never loved but thee.

Charley Hurley protests that a mezzanine is that part of a gun which contains the bullets. Zero: The thorax is in the throat; it is the organ of thought. Flop thinks the hide of a cow is to hold the cow together. Joe Harris claims that a sock on the foot is worth two in the eye !

In fact, only one more day remained and alas, two most distinguished campus heroes were without the necessary $1.00 for admission. They were alarmed to think, Will we have to break that date? Ah, two heads are better than one, and incidentally their kisses were better than all others — so one or two fair maidens had told them. Their problem was practically solved.

Perhaps one contributing factor is the assistance given to science, surgery, medicine, and the plain every-day standard of living by the electric light and power industry. We like to think we have contributed toward lengthening the span of life — as well as to know that we have contributed to the joys of living, whatever may be the span of an individual ' s life. More than forty-seven and one-half million chil- dren under nineteen years of age are experiencing benefits, made possible by electrical development, unknown to their parents at the same age, and which were not even dreamed of by their grand- parents. And the greatest development of the industry has been during the last decade, when it has been able to furnish more service to more people, more cheaply, than ever in its history. We Are Growing, Too, In Our Ability to Serve You GULF STATES UTILITIES COMPANY Page 222 We want to compliment the staff for its success in conquer- ing the task of editing a book which will be appreciated by every individ- ual.
