He was named for his father. Major Sam Houston. As he grew, he mingled with a nearby tribe of Cherol:ees, acquiring their love of nature and of the out-of-doors, — was accepted as one of them. Then came political ascendency — after a campaign against the British in the War of 1812 — and in 1827 he was elected Governor of his adopted state, Tennessee. Seemingly, however, tragedy overtook him. In 1829 he married Miss Eliza Allen, but within a few weeks after the ceremony he left her and retreated to live with his Indian friends. Countless have been the speculations advanced as to his reason — the answer lies locked in his breast beneath the waving pines of this, his beloved home. . . . Three years after his retreat, — in 18. 2, — a handsome, keen-eyed, 39-year-old pioneer sat astride his horse at the line dividing the Mexican territory of TejdS from that of the United States. Suddenly, with eyes which looked ever forward and onward, and a mind which contemplated the majesty of the hills and valleys, the plains and forests before him, the man who held in his hand the opening chrysalis of the destiny of one of the greatest states in the Union, penetrated inward. Toward the stars, — toward San Jacinto, — toward immortality; — to avenge the yet unperpetrated horrors of the Alamo and Goliad; the deaths of Travis and Fannin; — to give unto Texas a heritage of glorious freedom for all eternity. After freeing the state from Mexico and nurturing its precious life in its early existence. General Houston, in later years, defended his beliefs as to what course the young state ought to pursue with the same fortitude he had displayed in risking his life amidst thunder and fire, shot and shell, at her conception. In 1861, he abandoned his office as Governor of Texas rather than lead her against the Union in civil war. It was a bitter step — one which called forth hisses, epithets of Traitor! , turning friend into foe. Yet, forgetful of self, he sturdily opposed even his friends for Texas. Two years later, he gently fell asleep, with his beloved wife, Margaret Lea Houston, by his side. The Golden Cord Was Broken and the Said Returned Unto God Who Gave It — C. C. Springfield. STEPHEN F.

Yours is a rare distinction. Your graduating year is significant, not only in its chronological coincidence with our centennial anniversary but also and chiefly in the memories of our heroic past which the centennial evokes and the inspiring lessons of patriotism which it impresses. These memories and these lessons have been interwoven into your college life. As students of the institution that bears the immortal name of General Houston, you have lived in close proximity to the old home and the grave of our warrior-statesman and in an atmosphere fragrant with reminders of pioneer days. On the walls of the spacious foyer of a great museum in New York City is an inscription which I commend to you as you leave these hallowed student halls for new scenes and new responsibilities. Be practical as well as lofty and generous in your ideals. Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. Courage, hard work, self-mastery .ind intelli- gent effort are all essential to a successful life. k. fe.v. ,--. a_ J B jQ Character in the long run is the decisive factor | i J| f in the life of individuals and of nations. Power to you, my young friends, as you follow the gleam, Alma Mater charges you to build worthily upon the foundations laid by our fathers and to do your part in speed- ing the day when Texas shall rank first not only in area and natural resources but also in the righteousness, intelligence and happiness of all her citizens. ■ ■ H ) your HI I BH I I IBI B Ik ' Harry F.

Can it be over! is the exclamation of faculty and students. The reason for the apparent swiftness in the passing of time is the growing happiness which wells up in the heart because of your pleasant sojourn here. Your instructors have manifested an affection for you because of your sterling worth and the possibilities which they see for your future development. They appreciate your efforts as manifested in your reactions to their direction. They see in you the bulwark of the civilization which is to be. You have formed friendships among the faculty and your fellow students which will be of value to you to the end of days. The events of your college life, even the most incidental, will not only linger in your memory, but will grow and be enhanced by the years. As ex-students, you will place a halo about your Alma Mater and to her ascribe all the worth of days. It is the sincere wish of my life that you be happy and ready to make others happy, and that a great wealth of satisfactions shall be yours. Your friend, J. C. McElhannon. 1856 THI O. E. Barrett, B.

She is President of the Caroline Belvin Literary So- ciety and a member of several honorary societies. Another position that she holds is Editor of The Alcalde, to which she has put forth every effort to make it a success. She is What is often classed as an ideal student. BURNS, THAI.

Football Touchdowns Heroes Basketball Baskets Track Hurdles Tennis RTHLETirs Newly appointed to the position of head varsity football coach, H. O. Molly Crawford has served Sam Houston State Teachers College as track coach and line coach since 1929. Since that time he has turned out several all-conference lines and two of the most outstanding track stars of this conference in the past fifteen years. Coach Molly cam.e to Sam Houston from San Angelo high school where he had coached for two years, having graduated from Austin College at Sherman in 1927. Captain of the 1925 football team at Austin College, he was awarded the Pete Cawthon trophy as the college ' s most valuable player. He was also captain of the baseall team and president of the A organization and student council. This year, after a change in the coaching staff at Sam Houston, he was promoted to the position of head varsity football coach, with Ernie Koy as assistant backfield coach. With a great increase in the number of football aspirants and an impressive array of versatile freshman talent, Sam Houston will be able to put a first-class, well coached team on the gridiron this fall.

The Austinites were primed for the Orange and White as the curtain fell on the football season. For five minutes the game went the Bearkat way. A series of passes and a couple of end runs placed the ball on the ' Jack ' s 5-yard line, but calamity came along in the person of a fumble and the Loggers took the oblate apple and went for a log-rolling for the rest of the game. Flagstaff, Freeze, Mills, and Bailey led the not. All that remained for the Bearkats after the game was a moral victory and a determination to even the count in ' 36. ■i. r First Row: Holzheuser, Nickelson, Beeson, Cortemeglia, Broom, Lowe.

Local hopes rose once as the second half opened with a refreshed squad throwing the big Cats on their heels.

For three quarters the teams struggled scoreless in a great game. Late in the last period Stovall stepped into the open and raced 45 yards across the goal. Frantically, the Bearkats took to the air and two passes were intercepted in rapid succession for additional Eagle touchdowns. Ace Howell at tackle and Sam Lefkowitz at end added honors that led to their mention later as all-conference material. Desperate, Deadly, Dangerous. Ducky. No more yardage t ' day, my kind friend. FOOTBALL In a stiff north wind, the Bearkats bowed to a determined bunch of A, ; M. Cadets, 25-0. The Kats held the Aggies to a six point lead at the half but after seeing their 150 piece band parade at half, the Maroon and White gridsters came back strong to run across two touchdowns in the third quarter and one in the fourth. Sam Lefkowitz and Oscar Hoggins, sterling ends, and Martin Sorsby were pillars of strength in the line, while Bob Madeley, Lee Beeson, and Curtis Rose shone in the backfield.

Predicted as underdogs, the Felines flashed a new double-wing back formation which kept the Christians guessing. Charlie Quinn, speedy Texas U. transfer, rated as the fastest man on the Bearkat squad, made the first touchdown from the twelve yard line, taking a beautiful lateral from Beeson. Quinn converted the extra point. A few minutes later Quinn again took the ball and galloped forty yards behind perfect interference for the second touchdown.

Quinn ran across the first tally after taking a low Tiger punt on the Bearkat 4S yard line and ran through the entire Teachers team for the touchdown. Beeson converted the extra point which later proved to be the margin of victory. From then on it was all Quinn. When Howard, a speedy Tiger back, intercepted a Sam Houston pass and was out in the clear, Charlie overtook him on the ten yard line to make a beautiful shoe-string tackle. Early in the second quarter all Bearkat cor.ference hopes disappeared as Quinn was knocked off his balance while in midair attempting to bat down a pass, twisting his knee as he fell. Charlie was unable to play more than a few minutes in the last two games of the season. After the Tigers had put across a touchdown in the third quarter, Sam Lefkowitz took a Bearkat pass and raced twenty yards for the last touchdown. An intercepted Bearkat pass was turned into a touchdown for the Ada Teachers, the try for extra point failing, giving the Orange and White a one-point margin of victory. P 5! If f p.

With a bewildering array of double and triple laterals, the Lamar Cardinals pushed over the first touchdown in the opening minutes of the first quarter; in the second half a field goal added three points; and a recovered Bearkat fumble made possible the second touchdown. Bob Madeley, Conroe Comet, was outstanding for the Kats, making the only gains made by the Felines - — A special train was chartered for the trip and nearly 250 rooters accompanied the team.

A lean year in football and basketball caused interest to run unusually high in Coach Joe Kirk ' s racqueteers. Though the Conference meet held in Nacogdoches May 4-5 came too late for this recording, Captain R. L. Bunting and his teammates can well be proud of the spring ' s accomplishments. The team divided victories and defeats evenly in six meets. Falling before them were squads from East Texas ' Lions and Stephen F. Austin ' s Lumberjacks, whom the Bearkats twice defeated. In the regrets column came meets with Texas A. M., Ada Oklahoma Teachers, and Southwest Texas State Teachers at San Marcos.

Brouu Af fi A Bunting was ranking netman of the team, following in the footsteps of Brother Edison. Jeff Nickelson played in the second position and teamed with Bunting to make a fast number one doubles combination that lost only one match, and that to the whirlwind pair from Oklahoma. Perry Broom played in the third position and teamed with Aubrey Bates, number four, to win every doubles match but two. Dutch Holzheuser rounded out the squad and provided inspiration by trim- ming Baby Bunting occasionally in singles. The Bearkats ' most decisive victories came from the team we love to win from — Nacogdoches ' Axemen. The Felines took them 6-0 in Himtsville on April 16. Three days later they repeated the process in all but the fourth singles match on enemy Familiar Scenes on the Tennis Courts F.very Afternoon. 1856 T TENNIS AuBRiv Bates R. L. Bunting After winning only the doubles from the Aggies in the season opener March 26 and dropping six matches in a row to the Oklahoma visitors on March 28, Coach Kirks tutelages swamped the East Texans 5-1 and played the Bobcats of San Marcos a rousing meet to emerge 2-4. The double win from the Lumberjacks provided a fitting close for the season and a stimulant for hard play in the conference tournament. Only Broom and the popular Dutch will be lost to the ' 37 squad by graduation. Though no intercollegiate meets were entered by the freshmen, Hluchan, Butler, and Sanner showed promise of bolstering the roster next year.

For the first time the men and women have combined the two Christian organizations into one association, because of similar ideals and purposes. An all day retreat, a Freshman welcoming party, a Christmas party, and a picnic in the spring, were the outstanding social affairs. The Y was fortunate in having Dr. Samuel Guy Inman as the guest speaker for the annual International banquet, co-spon- sored by the Y . Dr. Paul Weaver was another outstanding visitor of the Christian Association. A two day goodwill trip to Nacogdoches was enjoyed by the Association. Two days were spent in Austin at a Cabinet Training Conference by a large group of officers and members. Two delegates were sent to Indianapolis, Indiana, to the Quadrennial Volun- teer Conference. The year ' s work will be climaxed by sending a large delegation of students to HoUister, Missouri, to attend the Southwestern Conference in June. Y ASSOCIATION GROUP HOUSTON COUNTY CLUB |. T.

CLASS HISTORY W ' c entered Hunts rlle on September 1 ' ). ] ' }?.. we tame, we s.iw. H.izinu w.is in its hey-tlay ami the eliam- pion liazers of the world ere here. The sophomore, junior, and senior years are tun of course, but the fresh- man year so overshadows them that we look ever back to it. The freshman party came and we were there one hundred per cent. Football ames, dances, basketball, track — and how we remember our first football win. Then came the day when we became more organized and decided to put our sit;n Fish 36 on the water tower. VC ' e did, but lo and behold when morning appeared, some kind upperc!assman had erased it with black paint. It seemed that Christmas would never come, but it did and we trucked home to tell the home town people of the fields that we were conquering. Then came the Senior Dance and the end of the term. The first year of our four-year sentence was completed. were more pleased. The year started off in good style with the election of good class officers, and excellent sponsors. One night we met on the football field to hold a mass meeting for the benefit of all the students in school — so we thought. The meeting went off in good style with very much bravo front and everyone scared to death to go on and too frightened to turn back. The next day, taking an unfair advantage of the faculty and striking when the dean and the president were out of town, we had our little rebellion. Running true to the form of all revolutionists, we forgot what we were strik- ing for before the cry of we object, and demand had died on our lips. So we all signed a petition, not even knowing what we were signing. Well, the story will be made short by saying that nothing was gained by the revolution except the knowledge that we were fools. Then June and swimming time came around again. As time usually passes on, September 19, 1933 came and we were back in Huntsville to see more. This year we were the upperclassmen and we were in the master ' s seat, but there were no slaves to be ruled. Out of a clear sky came the opportunity to edit a class edition of the Houstonian, this was a chance that we needed to sling mud in the faces of everyone, except sophomores, and it was done in good faith. The same routine, day after day. except when the monotony was broken by a week- end or a holiday. Then June came again and more of our treasured friends left us by the way-side. September 193-4 and Huntsville once more with one more barrier crossed and two to go over. This year proved more exciting than our sophomore year and wc September 1935 — Boy. it ' s good to be back for the last tune. We hustled about getting programs straightened out and dropping courses that we didn ' t need or that were not saps. Then to the dean ' s office to have credits checked and to drop more courses. We broke down old traditions and got a special train to Beaumont only to establish the old tradition firmer. Then the Centennial came and we all took an active part in that — not because we wanted to, but because it was compulsory. Practice teaching now takes its appearance and we are the victims — its a great life if you don ' t weaken. Practice teaching conferences each Thursday evening and this proves to be a help in our teaching field. Senior dance and Grad- uation for the last time. Vine, vinci, victus — we came, we saw, we conc-juered. II a4che3 Ruby Nell Cheatham Alyne Beazley Bonnie Patton June Wiggins Leva Griffitts Amy Burchill Margaret Beason Shirley Sue Ball Doris Hardie Katherine Ball Nell Daniel Carolyn Lindley Maggie Lou Archer Margaret Stone Billie White Julian Haymon Red Teague Sam Lefkovitz Noble Armstrong Estill Davis Willard Frandolig Bob Madeley Dutch Holzheuser Amos Gates Clarence Thomas William King Jeff Nickelson Edward Baker ADVICE TO THE LOVE LORN To Carolyn I.indlcy — A nickel is still a nakcl, and one doesn ' t ask the boy friend for a fur coat when he doesn ' t even have a job. To Ruhy Neil Cheatham- Yoii are doin very nicely, but remember that someday his I. Q. might improve and then the situation would become complicated. To Doris Hardie — One doesn ' t hustle dates for the whole (Oklahoma team and then want a late date with th.e boy whom she has been going steady with for a number of years. To Clorice Coleman — Its possible that you never will be engaged again in the next 1 years of your life unless your temper is controlled and remember that profanity isn ' t a lady-like thing to use. Another thing, don ' t tell the new boy friend about the old — he ' s not interested. To Louise Tate — You had better stop going to all these A. and M. dances if you expect to remain true to Mutt. Otherwise, go ahead. To John Douglas Weem.s — It never looks right for a girl to get at least four boxes of candy on ' Valentine and then hear her say that she is in love with one guy. Better reconsider, Johnny. To Frances Burnett — You better hold on to Woodson and stop going with all these college guys. ' Woodson will catch on one of these days. The following students are excused from classes because of lovesickness: HUBERT HILL GRAHAM KING ORA LEE MIDDLETON WILLIAM KING CLEVE O ' TOOLE EDGAR BAKER JEFF NICKELSON J. C. McELHANNON, Dean. BOOK WORMS These people are known as the good-old book-worms. They have to be on every campus and Sam Houston is fortunate in having quite a few. These people have never found out where the picture-show is or where the Co-Ed is situated. They never have dates because they have to study. Their lessons come before everything and they will never possess enough College Spirit to say tha: they are college students. Pr.RRY Broom Allen Brown Frances Floyd Margaret Propes Spencer Ward Tllli HALL OF SHAME Bonnie Patton, because she is conscious of the fact that her Father is a Senator when it doesn ' t make any difference on the campus. Ralph Andrews, because he thinks that no o:her one ever knew how to write or ever THE HALL OF SHAME Billic- Jo Burn:,, because she ' s such a chump to listen to people and believe anything they say. Also because she is kin to Doris Bowen. Glen Mae Woodall, because she is still gig- gling. She has never learned the first funda- mentals of holding her man, or leaving other girls ' men alone. DIRTY DIGS The lollowiii doity-dii;, ' ; taken l ' n)m ihc Hous- toni.iiis of the seliool year, 193 ' ' -iy36, were ehosen as tile best lo represent this weekly column ni Tiie Akalde. Who toulJ be so important to Noble Armstrt)n that he cuts himself in four phicts shaving, and burns out the lights on the Model Q, not to go to the Singletary House but in the opposite direction? Is ' Granny Griff Its slipping? O O O I- an Leigh is not doing bad herself. The old saying still holds true. When the cats away, the mice will play. Better come home, Cliarlie, the largest boy on the campus is feeding her out of his hand every day. O O O Attention: Girls that are wanting to learn to dance, call •4 ' i6 and ask to speak to the dancing instructors who are none other than O. R. and M. C. H. They seem to know all the best dancers on the campus. O O O Why IS It that the boys at the Barn stick together so well? Just try and find out about one of them having a date, and see what they tell you. I think they all say, I did not see him at all last night. O O O Little Gibson is one of the Campus ' most beautiful girls. Billy White thinks so too when Cheatham is trifling on him. O O O Northington House seems to be going in for types this year. There ' s Sarah Sutton, the sophisticated type; Bonnie Patton, the vivacious type; Corine Turner, the sweet and demure type; and Peanuts Hardy, the Holz- heuser type. O O O Graham ' s free taxi comes m handy when she just has to get to Phelps to catch the train. O O O Cla Bell seems to think she needs pract keeping other than majoring in Home Economics. Some reporter hound Oscar. O O O The Street Singer has invaded the Lawlis house in the form of Joe Harris, accompanied by his singing buddy Bourgoyne. Nov. ' the inmates of the house are thinking of taking a course in music appreciation. O O O We wonder what Frances Burnett and Ann Mont- gomery are going to do wit hout their publicity man. You know he ' s the one that tried to rate Frances as the best dancer on the campus but the boys just laughed and laughed ' cause they knew all the time she wasn ' t — but Ann didn ' t need any help in giving publicity to her dancing — we wonder why. O O O Nominations for the Hall of Shame; Clarence Thomas, because he ' s posing as a married man. Alyne Beazley, because she ' s true to no one. Ruby Nell Cheat- ham because she trifles on Billy White. Lois Sterling, because she ' s the mayor ' s daughter. Minnie Maude Har- low, because she goes with David Wright. Glen Mae Woodall, because she didn ' t rate this column this week. Dorthea Francis, because she refuses to speak to people she knows. Bonnie Patton, Corine Turner, and Nell Daniel, because they have rated this column every week. ( harles Qinnn, because he ran a Dark Horse in on us for ihe iMst Texas State Teachers College game. Dutch Holzheuser, because he doesn ' t know when a girl is gaz- ing in his eyes. O O O So Lamar brought his little-brown-eyed girl home again — Please dont ' let your strong arms drop me as you take me up the steps — says Marguerite Schneider. O O O Somebody told me to ask John Phillips to keep his dignifieil air just for the Wynnes and not to infliit ii upon the students of the campus. o o o Extra — Flash of the week. Mad dog loose at the Wilder house terrorized EsiiU Hifl. Practical jokes can go too far, but this was the best of the year, or was it, Etheridge? O O O Anyone desiring lessons in man handling apply to Alyne Beazley, Singletary House. Anyone desiring in- formation on how to take it (We call it henpecked), ask Julian Haymon. O O O This Waid and Lindley affair has gone far enough. It ' s time some of the other college boys got a break. That Waid gal is plenty cute — so sigh the wistful males. O O O Robbing the cradle seems to be the thing this year. Frances Floyd evidently enjoys the Demonstration Beau Brummel, not alone for his lithe and graceful mien but for the protection afforded. O O O Charlie Quinn ' s trip to the hospital brought forth startling results. We had under-rated Charlie ' s ability. Ask any of the Eclectic pledges for a detailed account. What next? O O O Notably absent at the dance was the queen of Sam Houston, Was Houston calling or was the dance a little too rural? O O O Our personal nomination for the dumbest guy on the campus is Idiot Wetherall. His personality shines forth and hides s ome of his dumbness so that only his friends are really aware of it. O O O Dick Barrett is in the market for another girl these days. He wants one with a radio as he gave the last one a radio and she quit him. Anyone interested apply at the Co-Ed, and for references write to Nadine Allison, Glasscock House. O O O We thought the nickel piano days were past, but it seems as if Pro Vincent and manager Bob Thomas are continuing the old method of music. A nickel in Bob ' s hand, — a piece on the piano by Connie. It isn ' t such a bad idea after all, huh? O O O The Beeson, Cruse, Weems triangle has taken the form of a rectangle. It is open for competition and there seems to be no reason why it shouldn ' t become a polygon. o o o Ina R ay Hutton evidently had the students on a see- saw this week-end — no wonder the boys can ' t see the Co-Eds today — They lack that certain something. In an election that stirred the campus, John Phillips was elected King of Sam Houston State Teachers College for the secon l time. He was boosted by Billie Joe Burns, who sat on the street corner begging nickels. The qualifications for king were as follows: 1 . Must not be able to rare a date on the campus. 2. Must be the kind that is always bumming off of some one else. 3. Must work for a cleaning business or laundry. 4. Must be in love with a girl that cares absolutely nothing for hi 5. Must have had at least two complete failures at love. King Phillips fills every one of these qualifications. OPINIONS Dll ri;R ON THF. CAMPUS There is that ancient conflict between faculty anj students, one representing fickle youth and the other signify- ing settled maturity. The difference in opinion is concerning the question of places that students attend. Some stu- dents fail to read from cover to cover that little yellow handbook. The tjuestions have not been definitely settled, but it is generally agreed that one place to steer clear of is the Crockett dances. THAT SOUTHHRN DRAWL S-a-r-a-h S-u-t-t-o-n steps to the front with the correct way to speak the Southern style of English. As Mrs. Nebb once said, Some people are not very proud of being themselves because they are forever trying to give the impression that they are someone else. We wonder if Sarah ( Sally — by her own choice) had rather be a Montgomery negro than Sally SiHlon. After all, we hear that negroes are marvelous dancers. NIGHTINGALES There is the one about the two Sam Houston nightingales, Bourgoyne and Harris, singing (or could you call that noise singing.- ' ) Ah Sued . l)j7t-)) of Life to the loudly giggling Opal Runnels. This takes place daily between biol- ogy classes. I think the boys arc trying to get a tryout with Major Bowes. SPRING HOLIDAYS Many people are wondering where John Phillips disappeared to during several days in April. The days corre- spond to Spring holidays at Sophie Newcomb. We understand that the water in the Mississippi has been getting cooler around New Orleans ever since his return to God ' s country. How about it, John. THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE This campus is very fortunate in having a couple of Hitler-Mussolinis in our midst in the form of two females. These two females reign supreme and have only to raise a finger or utter the magic word and the person in question fades away from popularity and is heard of no more. Our advice to these two girls who have so much power is that they should wave the wand and bestow a little popularity on their own heads. One of these beautiful girls still dreams of Bill Crane (and uses Swede Hill for a chump) while the other murmurs Arnold Orsak. APRIL FOOLS DAY The Freshmen took this day for their own. It proved to be quite a success until twelve that night and then the fun was reversed. 1 he freshmen really showed up some upperclassmen. We even had some girls to lock themselves up in their rooms. The upperclassmen boys were thrown in the lake but were so green that even the fish couldn ' t eat them. COLLEGE ELECTIONS Once upon a time we had a college election and because a certain person wasn ' t elected, he proudly printed in his newspaper an article to the effect that all ballot boxes are stuffed. We wonder if he didn ' t acquire his office that way. This person is none other than Ralph Andrews, the boy who sees all, knows nothing, and prints all. The editor is fair to all concerned until there is something to be printed on him and then there is a red pencil drawn on it. We notice also that Nadine Allison isn ' t rating the digs much now. Is it because she is going with Ralph or is it due to the fact that no one notices her now? In Ralph ' s staff, he has Kennedy Porter as sports editor. He ' s the eighth wonder of the world who never saw a major athletic contest in his life, never entered any kind of contest (not even Sol) and yet tries to write up sports. Most of his material is merely heresay. NORTHINGTON HOUSE SLUG FEST Extra! Extra! The Northington House is the home of two feather-weight fighters in the women ranks. Strange as it may sound to the reader, both hail from Madisonville. They have only fought three rounds before an audience but the ticketholders all said it was worth the price. We are sorry that we can ' t tell who the winner was but it seems that it was a draw, ending by thi two disowning each other ' s relatives. This was all seen through a key hole; however, anyone on the campus can give you a full summary of the fight. HOUSTON HALL House President — Kadet Mug Beason. House Colors — Khaki (tree monkeys and cadets). House Song — Goodby to Texas University. House Chump — Catherine Switzer. House Motto — Tend to everyone else ' s business but your own. Sergeant-at-Arms — CCC Hickman. Mary Clem Hickman should be given a whole page in this section so that she might be able to tell all the Co-Eds all about the art of breaking dares, but owing to the limited number of pages it is entirely impossible to dedicate a page to the ART OF BREAKING DATES. A word of advice to the Houston Hall — If you want enemies, excel others; if you want friends, let others excel. — Cotton. THE ALL-AMERICAN CHUMP TEAM Captain WILLIAM KING Players: Julouis Bourgoyne, Clarence Thomas, Red Teague, Bill Crane, Chuck, Roy Dealy, Ora Lee Middlecon, Horace Coon, Dick Barrett. Ed Legg. ALL-COLLEGr. H. A. SSOC lATION Officers PRESIDENT Tommy Cortcmeglia Vice President Fred Clark 2nd Vice President Ralph Andrews Secretary Sam Lcfkowitz Treasurer William King Charter Members Honorary Member Frances Burnett Mary Clem Hickman Ann Montgomery Gien Mae Woodall Charles Smither Lamar Parrish Clarence Thomas Jofin Marion Weathcrall Owing to the fact that there were so many in the association it was a close race for officers. The race for presi- dency looked as if it favored William King, but Cortemeglia made a finish that was well fought and well earned and won the election over King by 1 (one) vote. Mary Clem was given honorable mention because of the date she broke with Edward Legg. WE SUGGEST THAT 1. Lois Sterling buy a jar of olives to carry around in a handbag instead of bumming them out of everybody ' s coke at the Co-Ed. 2. Margaret Beason shut up talking about the wonderful school at College Station established for the training of gunfodder. 3. Lee Beeson buy a date book for all the boys at the Barn to sign before going out on a date . 4. Opal Runnels not open her mouth so wide; it ' s dangerous, — someone might fall in. 5. Julius Bourgoyne quit dying his mustache; we believe it would look better white. 6. The College buy or rent from the state penitentiary, number plates to be placed on rhe backs of students attend- ing chapel. 7. Carolyn Lindley learn how to talk before she needs false teeth. 8. Lamar Parish buy his own coffee for a change. 9. Margaret Houston attend another school; with her name she hasn ' t got a chance to be called upon the mat in the Dean ' s office. 10. Dr. Weber use a little more sarcasm in his classes. 11. Houston Hall buy more comfortable furniture for the parlor.

IRAVEMI A ■• f ' am MouHton The name of this cafe honors our Texas hero — Sam Houston who spent many hours on this corner discussing politics with his fellow townsmen and whittling small curios or useful objects which he finally bestowed on some admiring boy. In his rebellious youth he left college to roam with and be adopted by the Cherokee Indians who gave him the name of Co-lo-neh — THE RAVEN. Whenever afflicted by unbearable sorrow or disappointment he threw off the garb and high offices of a cruel civilization to find solace and strength among the children of the forest. In the wigwam of his foster-father Oolooteka THE RAVEN dreamed of a new empire — Texas — which six years later his military genius created at San Jacinto and his statesmanship perpetuated. He named his country place fourteen miles east of here RAVEN HILL and at all times gave evidence of his confidence in and affection for the tribes who journeyed here each year to smoke the pipe of peace and council with their brother— THE RAVEN. In their words to him we greet you: My wigwam is yours— My home is yours — My people are yours — Rest with us.

Thirty-five — still fine! Past mid-field the resistance stiffens. Into the scoring zone the game calls for every ounce of speed, determination and ability. If you carry the ball over the goal line — You ' re good! In the struggle for financial security it is much the same. But the Life Insurance Plan helps all the way through. First it is insurance protection for your parents, then your family. Finally a life income for yourself in your own old age — the last hard stretch.

Mrs. Fannie Matthews IT PAYS TO LEARN £J10 A bargain, you know, is a matter of value, not price alone. There will always be a cheaper way than the electric way of doing things, no matter how low in cost electricity may be, Families can cook for nothing, just as cave men did ages ago. But people don ' t cook on camp- fires, except on picnics, although it is the cheapest way to cook, any more than they walk if they can afford to ride, although walking costs nothing. On the remote farm, even today, they hang perishables in the well, or spring. It ' s not very good refrigeration, and is very inconvenient, but it is free. Electric refrigeration, however, is so much better and so low in cost ... is anyone going back to a well just to have free refrigeration ? Families, in growing numbers are turning to electricity for water heating because they want value, not price alone. Electric rates are low. No family of ordinary means needs deprive itself of convenience for the home. GULFSTATESUTILITIESCO.
