We have attempted to make the book completely repre- sentative of the student body, and hope that somewhere within these pages one may find depicted every one connected with the school. If this volume is adjudged successful in the eyes of our fellow students, we are overjoyed, and if a failure, will humbly say that we enjoyed trying. LaVera Burr, Editor ORDER OF BOOKS THE SCHOOL EXECUTIVES CLASSES VANITY FAIR ATHLETICS PHOTOGRAVURE ORGANIZATIONS GRIND ADVERTISEdlENTS DEDICATION TO PRESIDENT HARRY F. ESTILL The great Christian man, who, with clear vision and firm hand, has directed successfully the growth of Sam Houston State Teachers College since 1908, this 1937 edition of the ALCALDE is affectionately dedicated. Throughout these years he has brought light to dispel the darkness of ignorance, strength to the weak, courage to the timid and fearful, inspiration to all. His uniform courtesy, his wisdom and tact, his friendliness and loyalty, his justice and integrity have endeared him to every associate, and made of each a friend. Through such souls alone, God stooping shows sufficient of his light For us in the dark to rise by. THE SCHOOL Ode to Sam Houston College I have seen your sloping campus Dappled grey and brown, While in the valley autumn swirled Her colors in the town. I have seen the Spring march up your hills With unfurled flag of green. And summer throw across your walls A glorious golden sheen. I have heard vour voices in the wind, Mother of hungry minds And from your many-windowed eyes Has flashed a light that blinds. I have heard your footsteps down the years, Sure, and swinging-slow, Climbing the tilted paths of hills, From out the depths below. I have fallen on my knees to breathe Your fragrant purple sod, And sometimes in vour shadowed halls I walk and think with God. Out of your breathless, eager youth, With the wisdom of your age, With one the ink, the other, pen, You shall write a shining page.

As another commencement day ap- proaches, I salute the Class of 1937 as the Pioneer Class of a New Century in the history of Texas. As pio- neers, you are trail-blazers in a new era that has for its ultimate goal the solution of problems, economic, so- cial, governmental, spiritual, that confront the world to- day, with tremendous and growing significance. In a recent book, The Return to Religion, whose author is neither a preacher nor a teacher, but a practi- cal scientist, there are some thought-provoking statements that I quote for your earnest consideration: In spite of the great benefits which the physical sciences have bestowed on mankind — a longer life, a more comfortable life, a life more free from physical pains, and a life filled with an infinite variety of inter- esting objects and education- al experiences, there is no evidence that individuals are happier, that families are more united, that govern- ments or political bodies are wiser, or that nations are less likely to go to war. Herein is a challenge to you who stand upon the threshold of the new era. What ' s wrong with our social order is not primarily economic nor governmental nor intellectual. The supreme challenge is for right emphasis upon spiritual values — belief in God, belief in a divine moral order expressed in the Ten Commandments and in the life and teachings of Christ, acceptance of the Church as the chief (even though imperfect) vehicle of religious truths that are greater than science, and values that are higher than reason. ... There is need for positive convictions on matters of basic right and wrong; for the subordination of intellectual arrogance to the discipline of the unselfish life. There is need to know that religion is not the refuge of the weak but the weapon of those who would be strong. This is the challenge of the New Century to the Pioneer Class of 1937. Sincerely, your friend, Harry F. Estill 18 PRESIDENT ELECT Charles N. Shaver, President-Elect, is no stranger to Sam Houston State Teachers College. In 1908 he received the Normal diploma and in 1922 the bachelor ' s degree. Since that time, Mr. Shaver has served as Superintendent of Huntsville Public Schools, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, President of Texas State Teachers Association, President of Sam Houston Ex-Student Association, President of Feder- ated Students Association, and Representative in Texas Legislature. two Terms. Throughout his career his chief interest has been in bettering the education facilities of the youth of Texas, and to accomplish this aim he has labored tirelessly. It is our sincere hope that in his new role as President of Sam Houston State Teachers College, he will be able to fulfill his every dream, and soar to new heights in the educational field. 19 BOARD OF REGENTS Mr. R.

You have discovered here at Old Sam Houston that a true college is a place where the spirit of youth finds the best chance in the world to experiment with life, to plumb its depths, to climb its heights, to listen to the noblest voices of the past, to tune in with the most challenging voices of the thrilling present, as well as to heed the inner call of the spirit of youth itself. I congratulate you that you have enjoyed the privileges of dtis great college, have enjoyed its resources; and have contributed no small share to its developing life and future history. The College has furnished for you a beautiful world of friendships and an ideal forum for developing character, the keenest sympathy for all good causes, and a sense of brotherhood which knows no limits of faith, nation, vocation or profession. As you become a part of that great functioning citizenship of the American Union, it is my wish that you will have no small task to perform, that your years will be well-laden with that type of service which enriches not only those who are served but also you who render the service.

President H. F. Estill Professor Joe Pritchett Mr. Hathorn was one of the most valuable members of the college staff. He combined scholarship, high character, attrac- tive personality, and rare teaching ability. His death is a great loss personally and professionally. President H. F. Estill J. B.

ROOSEVELT The city of Huntsville and the college were indeed fortunate in having so noted a visitor as the wife of our beloved President, Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Mrs. Roosevelt is a noted authority on the problems of youth, and an accomplished lecturer. Due largely to the efforts of Mrs. Percv V. Pennybacker, an intimate friend to the First Lady, Mrs. Roosevelt con- sented to include our college on her limited tour of the Southwest. 34 CLASS OF 1937 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Ralph Coker President OFFICERS Ralph Coker ...President Alvis Bolton Vice-President Ione Jones Secretary Elizabeth Ann Amsler Treasurer S.

Frankly, I had some difficulty in making the selections inasmuch as all the entries were very attractive, so called upon Jimmy Lovell of the Dallas Times-Herald to assist me. After due consideration we selected the following girls in the order named: Miss Elizabeth Ann Amsler, Miss Fan Leigh, Miss LaVera Burr, Miss Ann Montgomery, Miss Ruby Nell Cheatham, and Miss Mary Lee Kenley. It is with much regret that some of the girls had to be omitted, for they are truly deserving, but the specifications should have called for sixteen selections rather than I wish also to take this opportunity to thank you for givi ng me the honor of being one of the judges, and hope that I may have the privilege of acting so again some time.

The gym was beautifully decorated with the theme of spring being depicted throughout. The royal family entered the court through two archways bedecked with wisteria. The court was presented in the following order: Prince Jeff Nickelson and Princess Opal Runnels, Duke Tommy Cortemeglia and Duchess VVoermann Gibson, Duke Ralph Coker and Duchess Ruby Nell Cheatham, Duke Charles Ouinn and Duchess Ann Montgomery, and Duke Clarence Thomas and Duchess Oralene Milligan. Visiting duchesses were Priscilla Townsend, Lamar Junior College, escorted by Terrell Newberry, Bonnie Luscher, Houston University, escorted by William Olbrich, and Esterlene Blacksher, Stephen F. Austin, escorted by Nat Davis. The royal party was completed by Little Misses Lenora Ann Murray and Suzanne Davis as trainbearers, and Mr. H. O. Crawford, Jr. as crown bearer. Dr. James Gee acted as Master of Ceremonies. Her majesty and his highness were entertained after they mounted the throne by an accordion solo by Annette Whitman and a vocal solo by Mrs. Renata Walters. Music for the occasion was furnished by Carol Lofner and his famous orchestra.

Gatlin Jane Litherland For the first time in years the 1937 Student Body of Sam Houston showed signs of life, and really gave the athletic teams an inspiration by supporting them throughout the year. This renaissance of student spirit is due largely to the labors of Head Yell Leader, Kirby Walker, and his capable assistants, including Bo Burton. J. B. Gatlin. Dolores Fuste and Jane Litherland. These children of old Sam Houston are deserving of much credit for their spirited leadership in the field of pep, and they have succeeded in a measure, in instilling their energetic loyalty into the hearts of their fellow students. 129 THE ATHLETIC STftFF • ; ■m T JI Ernie Koy Clyde White Joe Kirk Molly Crawford For efficiency and general ability the coaching staff of Sam Houston State Teachers College is second to none in the conference. Under the splendid leader- ship of Athletic Director Joe Kirk, and the co-operation of Coaches Crawford, White and Koy, athletics and physical education have been truly getting a new deal. Coaches Crawford and Koy made a creditable showing with the football team, despite the fact they were seriously hampered by the old injury jinx. In basketball, Coach White in his first year lifted the Bearkats from the cellar of the Lone Star Conference to a tie for the championship, and his team had a perfect record in non-conference competition. The tennis team under Coach Kirk was one of the best in years, and Coach Crawford ' s track team made a creditable showing. 130 FOOTBALL • Jeff Nickelson 1936 Co-Captain 24 :• ■■: § Dike Rose 936 Co-Captain Jack Williams 7937 Captain-Elect r.

M. 39 The Bearkats pried the lid of the 1936 football season in a vain but valiant effort to stop a powerful team of Aggies. Though the score was 39-6 in the Aggies favor, the Sam Houston boys displayed unexpected strength in some phases of the game, and gave evidence that they would be hard to handle in their own conference. Roy Stockton, fleet halfback from Houston was the bright light in the Bearkat read cordon, and provided Sam Houston ' s only score with a fifty yard trek to the pay station, after taking a beautiful pass from Fred Clarke. In the line Oscar Huggins at end, and Skinny Archer at tackle, were out- standing on defense, and Co-Captain Jeff Nickelson turned in a fine performance at center. 133 Billy White Back Rookie Reimer End ' Swede Hill Back A Lumberjack pass receiver is surrounded by Bearkats BEARKATS 28 — OKLAHOMA TEACHERS The Bearkats invaded Ada, Oklahoma on October 2, and defeated East Central Teachers College in a most convincing manner. The final score was 28-0, and the Bearkats appeared to be at top form as Charlie Quinn, Dike Rose and mates proceeded to run the Oklahoma boys ragged. Quinn galloped thirty-five yards on the first play of the game and from then on, the outcome was never in doubt. Bob Madeley and Chink Kivell each displayed power on defense by backing up the line in flawless style. In the line, Jack Williams and Jeff Nickelson were outstanding, along with Rookie Reimer, who caught a pass and galloped thirty-five yards for the third Kat score. 134 Bob Madeley Back Bill Olbrich Tackle Slouch Bunting End Callahan is off around the Lumberjacks end for a nice gain BEARKATS 14 — LAMAR In their next game, and the first of the season on Pritchett Field, the Bearkats defeated a scrappy band of Cardinals from Lamar College, Beaumont, 14-0. The Cards opened the game as aggressors, outplaying the Kats in every department, and not until a costly fumble in the closing minutes of the first quarter did the Bearkats get the upper hand. Dike Rose placed a beautiful punt out of bounds on the Lamar ten yard line, and the Cardinals fumbled on the next play, Sam Houston recovering. In two plays Rose rammed the line for the touchdown, with Swede Hill converting the extra point to make the score 7-0 for Sam Houston. The second score came as a culmination of a sustained seventy yard drive, with Rose again going over for the touchdown, and Hill again making the extra point, to end the scoring for the day. 135 Charlie Quinn Back Conrad Brown Tackle Sonny Lindley Center Chink Kivell off for a touchdown against Rice BEARKATS — EAST TEXAS 27 Sam Houston opened her conference season most ingloriously, going down to a 27-0 defeat at the hands of the powerful East Texas Lions at Commerce. Beginning with a fluke touchdown in the first five minutes of play, the Lions went on to dominate the game throughout, as the vaunted Bearkat defense crumbled. The bright light in the Bearkat defeat was the superb defensive play of Chink Kivell, and the punting of Dike Rose, which time after time pulled the Sam Houston team out of holes. Jeff Nickelson played his usual steady game, but it seemed to be the Lions day, as the Bearkats every effort went for naught. 136 Roy Stockton Back Skinny Archer Tackle Corinna Cortemeglia Back The Bearkat line battles the Eagle forward wall BEARKATS 6 — S. L. I. 7 The Bearkats were unable to muster any goal line punch against Southwestern Louisiana Institute at LaFayette, and lost a heartbreaker, 7-6. Sam Houston placed the ball in scoring position time after time only to be repelled after reaching the shadows of the Louisiana goal posts. The Kats score came as the result of a pass from Fred Clarke to Chink Kivell, who raced thirty-eight yards to cross the goal line. Luke Hall, veteran tackle from Willis, was outstanding in the line, as he turned in sixty minutes of sparkling football. 137 Roy Callahan Back Marvin Jones Back Jack Williams Tackle The Owl and Bearkat lines pile up. BEARKATS — SAN MARCOS 14 By now the old jinx had caught up with the Bearkats, and weakened by in- juries, they were subdued 14-0 by a heavier Southwest Texas team on Pritchett Field. The Kats played some great football but just could not get the breaks, as the Bobcats scored in the second and third periods to gain a victory. The Bearkat line played superbly, with Jim Di Iario and Stumpy Bumpers flashing at the guard posts. Bus Lowe and Rookie Reimer were outstanding at ends, as were Jack Williams and Skinny Archer at tackle. 138 ' Chink Kivell Back Jimmy Hallmark End Stumpy Bumpers Guard Huddle! BEARKATS 7 — NORTH TEXAS 27 It may well be said that the score in the game was Sam Houston 7 — Johnny Stovall 27, for the loose hipped lad from Denton ran over, under, through, and around the Bearkats to lead the Eagles to an astonishing victory. The Kats were able to repulse the North Texas boys at will, with the exception of Stovall, whose punt returns and end runs were phenomenal, as he accounted for all the enemy points with long runs. For Sam Houson, the entire team played creditable football, with Roy Callahan being the outstanding threat. It was Cally who slipped off tackle to provide Sam Houston ' s only touchdown, and time after time he broke away for nice gains to keep the Bearkats in the game. 139 Jim Di Iario Guard Oscar Huggins End Sylvester Polasek End Chink goes high in the air to take a pass. BEARKATS 7 — RICE 34 Scoring their only touchdown in the first minutes of play, the Bearkats were defeated by the strong Rice Owls, 34-7, before a crowd of five thousand at Houston. Led by Roy Callahan, the Bearkats scored on a sustained drive from mid- field early in the first quarter, with Kivell finally going over for the touchdown after taking a pass from Callahan. Dike Rose place-kicked the extra point to make the score 7-0 in favor of Sam Houston, and it looked bad for the Owls. Rice soon took command of the situation, however, and went on to score a decisive win. Callahan, the Livingston flash, was a thorn in the Owls side throughout, as he sliced off the Rice tackles with monotonous regularity. In the line, Nickelson, Hall, De Irio and Archer were outstanding for the Bearkats. 140 End Bus Lowe Aubrey Stallings End Luther Hall Tackle ' ' Sk.MiWLjLiMT«si Ri_.-j A Bearkat is in the open with his interference gathering fast. BEARKATS 6 — STEPHEN F. AUSTIN 7 As a perfect climax to an ill fated season, the Bearkats lost to the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks, 7-6. The boys from the Piney Woods pushed over a touchdown on the last play of the game, and scored the winning point after the whistle had blown, on a place kick that hit the cross bar and barely managed to drop over for the winning majority. The Kats literally fought their hearts out, and paced by Callahan, Rose, and Marvin Jones pushed the Jacks all over the field, and appeared to have the game on ice, only to have their dreams shattered in that fateful last minute of action. If next year ' s team will carry on in the same fighting way in which the 1936 aggregation closed out its season, we can hope for a conference championship, for when one gives his very all, whether he has won or lost, the breaks are bound to come his way sooner or later. 141 FRESHfllAN FOOTBALL Coach Clyde White put the Freshman gridiron prospects through their paces in grand style. Critical football fans smiled as they witnessed the smooth working team composed of future Bearkats. A combination of fast running and heads up lateraling, featured such backfield performers as Barfield, Adcock, Metcalf, Jones and Galloway. Outstanding in the fast charging forward wall were Elliott, Pol- lard, Tippen, Willis, Smith, Estlinbaum and Reed. Upon closing a successful sea- son the freshmen are looking forward to the varsity competition of next year. The training that Coach White gave in building the strongest freshman team to play for the Orange and White in many years will be carried over as freshman grid- sters invade the varsity lineup next year.

The 1937 Basketball Season The Bearkats enjoyed one of the most successful basketball seasons in the history of the school in winning eighteen games, while losing only two. The two defeats came at the hands of conference foes, and Sam Houston ended the title race in a first place tie with the Nacogdoches Lumberjacks. Clifford Dotson lead the conference scorers with a total of 102 points, amassed during eight games, and was unanimously selected on the all-conference team. Bus Lowe, stellar guard, was also placed on the mythical team, while Bill Bitner and Mack Runnels were placed on the second team To Alvis Bolton should go much praise for his undying spirit and inspiring leadership. Captain Alvis Bolton Forward Mack Runnels Guard The Bearkats had a perfect year in non-con- ference competition, winning twelve games in as many starts. Among the teams defeated were the Texas Aggies, West Texas Buffaloes, and the powerful Magnolia Oilers of Houston. The Kats ' favorite opponents we re the Texas A. I. Jave- linas, whom they defeated four times. Bill Bitner Forward Bus Lowe Forward 145 Conference Games BEARKATS 40— SAN MARCOS 26 After compiling a most enviable record in non-con- ference games, the Bearkats opened the title race in an equally impressive manner by trimming a veteran San Marcos Bobcat five 40-26. San Marcos entered the game the slight favorites, but Coach White ' s smooth working quint soon took a commanding lead which they never reliquished. Mack Runnels, Cliff Dot- son, Bus Lowe, and Bill Bit- ner shown brightly for Sam Houston, with Dotson taking individual scoring honors with twelve points. Gordon Cotton Guard Clifford Dotson Center BEARKATS 36— COMMERCE 27 The Bearkats continued their winning ways by taking their second conference game and their eleventh consecutive win of the season as they trounced the Commerce Lions by a score of 36-27. Clifford Dotson again proved his ability by scoring 17 points while preventing Captain Red Connor of the Lions from scoring a single field goal. Bitner covered the floor in flawless style, as Run- nels and Lowe continued to stand out on defense. Floyd Dotson Forward Soupy Mize Center 146 BEARKATS 28— SAN MARCOS 33 San Marcos proved more adept from the foul line than the Bearkats and downed them 33-38 in a slow game played at the Southwest Texas Gym. Sam Houston was sadly off form in this tilt, and were apparently travel-weary. The out- come of this game was later reversed when it was learned that San Marcos used an ineligible player, giving the Bearkats new life in the conference race. BEARKATS 33— DENTON 25 Smashing the net from every angle. Coach White ' s Bearkats fought their way to a well earned 33-25 victory over the Denton Eagles. This vic- tory placed Sam Houston in a tie with Nacog- doches for the first place in the conference standing. Floyd Dotson, determined that his family name should stay in the limelight, teamed with Bill Bitner to pace the Bearkat scorers as they tallied seven points each. Billy White Forward Tom Williams Forward Swede Hill Guard Aubrey Stallings Forward BEARKATS 25— NACOGDOCHES 40 The Bearkats title hopes received a severe jolt as they received a crushing 40-25 defeat at the hands of the Lumberjacks in Aikman Gym. The game was play- ed under adverse conditions as an overflow crowd lined the playing court, decidedly hampering the play of both teams. To add to the worries of Sam Houston. Bus Lowe and Mack Runnels were both ejected from the game via the foul route, to leave the Bearkat defense decid- edly crippled. BEARKATS 35— COMMERCE 57 Following the defeat at the hands of Nacogdoches, the Bearkat hopes for a championship were dropped even lower when thev were soundly trounced bv the Commerce Lions, 57-35. The onlv consolation was that the Lumberjacks were defeated at Denton, and Sam Houston could still earn a tie by winning the two final games against the Den- ton Eagles, and Nacogdo- ches — a big assignment for any team. 147 BEARKATS 28— DENTON 27 Paced by lanky Bill Bitner, who scored the winning goal six seconds before the end of the game, the Bearkats eked out a 28-27 victory over the Denton Eagles. This victory paved the way for a grand fin ale between the Bearkats and Lum- berjacks, with a Sam Houston win giving them a tie for the championship. Against the Eagles, Cliff Dotson continued to add to his scoring lead by accounting for 14 of the Bearkats points. Rookie Reimer Guard Carl Spencer Center BEARKATS 43— NACOGDOCHES 34 In a fitting climax to a great season, the Bearkats defeated Nacogdoches 43-34 to earn a tie for the Lone Star Conference Championship. It was sophomore Johnny Puckett who paced the Kats to the sweetest victory of the year. The Jeff Davis (Houston) product scored fifteen points and covered the floor like a blanket, while Mack Runnels and Bus Lowe collaborated in holding the highly touted ' Jack forwards under control. 148 Johnny Puckett Forward Cleve O ' Toole Forward TRACK TRACK CO-CAPTAINS Charlie Quinn Mack Runnels Charlie Quinn Mack Runnels Sam Houston began the 1937 track season with the prospect of a winning team, as most of the dependables of a not too successful 1936 team had graduated, and there was very little new material to work with. Leading the contingent of known men were Charlie Quinn and Mack Runnels, dash men par excellence and co-captains. Other holdovers from the 1936 squad were Keeton Teddlie, a dependable weight man, and John Ellisor, a capable middle distance runner. Carl Smith Hicks Brannon Charles Moore BilMiHHlWMIwMI Truett Orrick 150 John A. Ellisor Kline Fittz Brady Box New men expected to do things for the Bearkats are Indian Jim Di Iario, Jack Williams, and Conrad Brown, a trio of husky weight heavers who may develop into real stars before their track careers are closed. Charles Moore is probably the most promising distance runner on the squad and gives promise of being a consistent point winner. Soupy Mize may be a sensation in the high jump if his early season form is an indication. This lanky lad from Bedias, Texas consistently clears the bar at six feet and better, and during the next two years should score many points. Tom Williams, Erwin Vickers, and Jack Clark are all runners of uncertain ability, but are willing workers with a real winning spirit. Tom Williams Ervin Vickers Jack Clark Soupy Mize 151 John A. Ellisor Charles Moore Other track candidates include Carl Smith, Hicks Brannon, Truett Orrick, Kline Fittz, and Brady Box. While all these hopefuls are new comers to the varsity, only time will tell who among them will be the stars of the year, or who are potential record breakers for future years. Under the guiding hand of Coach Molly Crawford, it is safe to say, that no matter how sparse the material, the Bearkat tracksters will give all opponents a run for their money.

Jeff Nickelson, of Franklin, has an excellent chance of copping the singles crown this year, and teams with Bunting to form the number one doubles combination. Nickelson is playing his third year on the varsity, and with his experience and proven ability is a serious threat in any tennis match. In early season encounters, he played brilliantly, and won the majority of his matches against such teams as A. C. C, Texas A. I., and Trinity University. R. L. Bunting, Jr. alternates with Nickelson in the number one singles position, and he too, is playing his third year on the varsity, during which time he has been one of the most feared men in the conference. A driving player, Bunting covers the court in tireless fashion, and has a knack for wearing his opponent down, and then going on to win as he pleases. 154 Though only a sophomore, Fred- die Hluchan has already proved a valuable asset to the Sam Houston Tennis Team. Having the reputa- tion of being the hardest driver on the squad. Hluchan is fast and tire- less, and after a year ' s experience in varsity competition, should be hard to stop next year. «| , Woodrow Hluchan is a senior but is playing his first year on the varsity tennis team. The Sealy pro- duct, while not the star of the team, is a steady dependable man, and has been a great help to the squad throughout the season. 155 A capable performer and fine shot maker, Hubert Barnett rounds out one of Sam Houston ' s best balanced tennis teams in years. Though slight in stature, Barnett has plenty of stamina, and a coolness on the court which is not present in many more experienced players. Hubert is only a sophomore and great things are expected of him before he completes his career at Sam Houston. m f • I In early season matches, the 1937 Bearkat Tennis team gave promise of being one of the best in some time. In the opening encounter they lost to a powerful Abilene Christian College team after a hard struggle. Then came successive vic- tories over Texas A. I., and Trinity University, and Coach Kirk ' s charges appar- ently were improving with each match. The play of Nickelson and Bunting, who alternated at the number one and two positions was an outstanding feature, and the Hluchan brothers, Barnett and Matthews, performed in a most gratifying manner. 156 BOXING ; i w Ifi? ■fill Ray Bumpers Out of a meager crop of Intramural boxers emerged one star who seems destined to reach the top in the manly art of self-defense. This young pugilist is Ray Bumpers, of Houston, who in his first year as a boxer has won the Bantam- weight Championship of Texas, and reached the quarter-finals in the National Golden Gloves Tournament held in Chicago. Ray entered a total of four major amateur tournaments during the year, and his defeat at Chicago is the only one to mar his record so far. Sam Houston should be proud of this young man, who has carried the name of his school so high, and he should gain many more honors before his college career is ended. 158 GIRLS ' ATHLETICS These girls practicing for a tennis match.

She has been se- lected as the most representative Senior girl, the most beautiful girl on the campus, and is President of Anne Gibbs Literary Society. UUHO ' S tLJHO Marguerite Gunter is outstanding in scholar- ship, and her initiative has been an asset in carrying on campus activities. She is blessed with many friends and has the ability to keep them. Could the lady be hiding because she ' s with Millie and Madge? LaVera ' s motherly instinct will out. She is studying Race Relations. Billy and Ruby Nell came to the game early. Ora Lee is trying to look handsome. Pick yourself out of the crowd. A trio of D. H. S. sirens. Marion and Adelle are in the hedges. Bobbv and Leonard hope to grow up to be college fish. 1MB The Freshmen Girls Chorus has looks as well as ability. The Boys Chorus has ability. The future Bearkat Band, if you please, under the direction of Mr. Whitehurst. The A. C. E. Club won first prize in the W. A. A. Stunt Night with Vivian and her family. Did you ever see Millie smile so sweetly? Ma and Pa Vivian and their datter. This is a carefree gang. They must be going riding. UJHO ' S UJHO J. W. Bus Lowe is one of the school ' s most valuable athletes. One of the best basketballers in the conference, he is also a capable wing- man on the football team, and is noted for his clean sportsmanship. The same character- istics that mark his athletic success guide him to a hie:h standing; anions: his fellow students. UJHO ' S UJHO Mary Warner has that keen all around abil- ity that make her most welcome in any activity, and a valuable asset to the school. She is prom- inent in girls ' athletics, and is a leader in the W. A. A. - ' ■,,. ' :. ' ' . -. Those girls are not particular who they pose with. Tohn Ardies ' car is snowed under, but we envy it. We wonder if it ' s Dilmas or the popcorn the girls like. LaVera and Carolyn are touring the Dark. Waiting for Sammy, Nell Edith? Mary Jane and Margaret are on their way to the library. Tyra and Renata are very busy ladies these days. Who are they turning their noses up for? Bitsy was a little shy and we had to get this picture on the run. These girls furnish a bright contrast to the barren campus. Three little girls surround the big football captain. Maybe Louise was walking in her sleep. Could we help you over the fence, Ann? Careful Baby, you may fall off and break something. ULIHO ' S UJHO Mac Runnels is everybody ' s friend, and the Dublicity he received for his athletic prowess has not affected him in the least. He is the fastest man to appear on the basketball court in Sam Houston colors in some time, and leads the boys a merry chase. Louise and Pearl have the sun-grins. The F. F. A. if you please. Room mates out for a game of tennis. John Ardie and his understudy. Nell Edith and Millie even sleep together. This is the affair you read about in last years Houstonian. Professor Arnold pays Alma Mater a visit. Here ' s the sports writer that bet his last poir of sox on Sam Houston, and won. The Davis House is giving a group testimonial for Colgates. UJHO ' S UJHO Ruby Nell Cheatham is President of Caroline .elvin, one of the camous beauties, and a leader n student activities. She is known for her lov- le disposition. rsi§ UJHO ' S UJHO Billy White is an all around athlete, and is Prexy of the T Club, as well as being chief Coke purveyor at the Y store. He has many friends and is a safe bet to keep them. i ■ . :i sML :-m -• Brady Box trying to lead Mr. Huffor astray. The President of the Student Assembly leads the strikers on. Strikers and still more strikers. Pick yourself out. Mr. Harrison with his usual gallery. Is that Bitsy ' s car? Deacon puts his okay on the uprising. The strikers go to own, literally. Those girls must be laughing at Clarence. Dr. Carrington ' s office has a business air. Mr. Brentzel works best in his shirt sleeves. Mr. Clark is one man who believes in doing things. Dr. McGee and Mr. Woods are worthy representatives of the social science department. UJHO ' S IIJHO Mildred Farmer is known as The vice pres- ident of the campus, holding this office in about half a dozen organizations. Lovable, laughable Millie is a friend to everyone, and is deserving of much credit. He purveys learning in many languages — Mr. Longino. The girls who live in the Home Management House are proud of Miss Collins. I Anybodv feel puny? See Miss Ulmer or Dr. Bush. Miss Cotton and Miss Powell were out for a sunning. We wonder if the coaches are going to drill a well. Miss Augusta is probably hurrying home to her flowers. Mr. Bunting is one of the most widely traveled men on the campus. Mr. Whitehurst wouldn ' t look natural without that trumpet. This is not a European dictator — just Dr. Querry in a characteristic pose. The student ' s friend, P. M. Kenley. Dr. Floyd has proved a valuable addition to the faculty. Just watch that strut of Dr. Weber ' s. Now it was this way, says Dr. Gee to Mr. Graham. Dr. Bush is diagnosing the case of the newspaper. McCray, Randel, and Brentzel, basking in the sun. Mr. Etheridge wears that smile all the time. Do you think you can teach him anything, Mr. Adamson? UJHO ' S UJHO W. O. Barlow is a valuable asset to the col- lege in many ways. Besides capably editing the Houstonian, he is assistant in the Music Department, and is prominent in scholarship and activities. Maybe the champ is protecting these boys. Showmen will pose. A group picture of Ducky Coon. PoDeye and Pert just had to be in the Alcalde, though they are not students. The Demonstration School Bugle and Drum Corps pass in review. Marie and Madge seem to be foremost in this group. UJHO ' S UJHO Mrs. Mary Bobbitt is outstanding in scholar- ship and is president of Sigma Tau Delta. She is well liked by the student body as well as the faculty. i If John Ardie was a gentleman he would carry some of those books. Let ' s all yell, says Kirby. And these fair maids get their heads together to help him. The queen and Carolyn borrowed someone ' s Plymouth. It was a cold winter day when this group got together. Tom Williams and Driver must have been calling on ladies. This is a comely foursome. Wonder if Joe Sam is waiting for Catherine. UJHO ' S UJHO Vannoy Stewart is President of the V. A. Club, and has proved an asset to the organiza- tion. He is a real friend to all who know him. 3M f Here is Freddies ' heartbeat from Montgomery, Mignon Post. Bill and Doris pose sweetly for the camera. ' No use beating around the bush Rooky, we know you like her. Ann and Hugh Warren were rehearsing for a play. Jack and Fuste t are playing a Ju love set. Sweethearts forever. This is whv Ranzell comes to Huntsville every week-end. Opal is taking advantage of a new student. Eddie and James fell in love over a hamburger. UJHO ' S UJHO Woodrow Burton is deserving of much praise for his splendid work as Art Editor of the ALCALDE. Working under a handicap of lack of time, his work compares with that of the best artists. Among his other numerous duties, Bo is a varsity yell leader. Dr. Gee takes his hat off to the strikers. The Northington House gets in the swing of the strike. Little Bitner just happened along. Could Helen be trying to get suction? A group of the boys were whooping it up. Here come the strikers with a bang, bang! Millie, Madge, and Marie probably engineered all this. This might cause another strike — in the Clark family Idiot and Clarence get their sporting blood warmed up. Dr. Estill steps off the bus and into the strike. UJHO ' S UJHO Carolyn Vincent ' s talent has made her one of the most prominent students on the campus, to say nothing of her personality and leadership ability. She is very active in several organiza- tions and is the President of St. Cecilia, and the Press Club. tLJHO ' S UJHO Alice Barrett is the very capable president of the Pennybackers, and one of the most popular members of the Senior class. Back to nature goes Miss Hensler. Shame on you Dad ' : Woods, and in front of ladies, too. Dr. Floyd, Miss Hensler and Mr. Wood illustrate their domestic trends. Billy and Rooky prove that they did work last summer. They bathed, too. The trees were pretty under their blanket of ice. And the dorm seems to be deserted. Mrs. Ottie Barrett stands by lest Gene ' s stick horse throws him. The Main Building is barely visible through the curtain of ice. Babes in the woods. The Northington House girls pose on their front steps. Most of the Aydelotte girls seem to be trapping flies in this picture. To prove that some people have a higher standing than others. Cleo, Doris and Tewel are pleasant despite the cold. These tennis sharks pause for the photographer, and pve warning of the coming of spring. The Misses Wright and Kenley are one reason why boys hate to graduate from high school. JPt§| UJHO ' S ILJHO . Alvis Bolton proved himself to be a model basketball captain, and is deserving of much oraise for the way he has conducted himself throughout his tenure at Sam Houston. He is President of the Student Council, Vice Presi- dent of the Senior class, and a leader in mam- other campus activities. Herbie is at your service. If that sign is correct, vou girls had better beware of Tames. William King conceived this little idea to avoid doffing his hat. Miss Timmy looks like the leaning Tower of Pisa, but it was the camera. If these lovely lasses are akin to Humpty Dumpty we want to be on hand when they fall. Maybe Marie had too much to eat and Nell Edith is carrying her home. She ' s about so high, and — We don ' t know whether this is a huddle or a craD game. Joe Sam and Ralph haven ' t looked so good in ages. UJHO ' S UUHO Floyd Dotson, better known as Brother , a basketball player par excellence, is equally adept singing in the Boys Chorus or scampering over the hard boards. He has gained the everlasting friendship of all whom he has come in contact with while making a splendid record as a stu- dent. UUHO ' S UJHO Clifford Dotson is one half of the school ' s most famous brother act, and has carved a spot in the hearts of all Sam Houstonites in his one year on the campus. An all-conference center in basketball. Cliff is also a prominent member of the Boys Chorus and the Glee Club. Arrington and Boone are waiting for someone to mistake them for WPA workers and hand them a check. Watch Tommy throw his chest out. These boys aren ' t watchdogs, but just dorm loafers. Elsie can ' t fool us with those books. Johnny and Cleve are practicing to be pro wrestlers. No one could mistake that dazzling smile of Hazel ' s. Someone told Ross to go sit on a stump and this iron post was all he could find. Awaiting their turn on the courts. 0§? THE FIRST LADY VISITS HUNTSVILLE Mrs. Roosevelt is entertained at lunch with Mrs. Sam and Miss Cornelia McKinney. She is escorted by Dr. Stewart. With Mrs. Pennvbacker and Dr. Estill in front of the Library. That ever present smile. And the throng following admiringly. Mrs. Roosevelt with her very efficient secretary, writes her article, My Day. UJHO ' S IUHO Catherine Switzer has widely varied talents, and among her most coveted honors is the Pres- idency of the W. A. A. Catherine has made many friends during her tenure at Sam Hous- ton, and is due for even more success before graduation. UJHO ' S UJHO Tom Cortcmeglia is a three year letterman in football, as well as being one of Sam Hous- ton ' s outstanding track men, and adds his ath- letic laurels to many others gained in the scho- lastic field. Tommy is a orominent member of the college Social Committee, and has had much to do with the formulating of the student social life. THE COUNTY FAIR The High School float be- decked in green and white. Did you ever see so many pretty flowers. This float drew a host of admirers. Two lovely little ladies in a box represent New Waverly. The Chamber of Commerce was well represented. Riverside put up a big front This number won first prize among the clowns. There comes the D. H. S. drill corps. That is a stately float with the American flag. Whitey and the band looked like a million dollars. The Troubadours are cow- boys for this occasion. Those high-stepping green cadets make shivers run up your spine. N. A., Thomas, Dopey and Ducky are loyal Bearkat fans. Gratehouse stands out like a sore toe in this group. Coker is performing his duties as the ALCALDE pack horse. Wonder why Mac looks so down hearted? Tack ' s hair couldn ' t have got that mussed just playing tennis. The two Miltons pose together. Clarence Hardy looks dignified enough to be an upperclass man. A friendly game of open air bridge as played by the boys at the Barn. Hluchan is outpost number one. lUHO ' S LUHO Margaret Propes is President of Pi Omega Pi, and if her college career is an example, she should be a successful business woman some day. Margaret has made outstanding grades, and her personality has earned for her many friends. UUHO ' S UJHO Basil Wall excels in scholarship, being a member of several honorary fraternities, but at the same time has a knack for making friends and keeping them. Basil has made an all A record in his studies, and during the past year has taught part time in the High School. •m: CO-ED LIFE Muscle man and ske ' et No. 1. Bill and Freshman Wilcox. A homely quartet, but they are all good boys. Ross and Phil are perma- nent fixtures at the Co-Ed. And here are the star custo- mers. If someone will drop a nickel in the organ, they ' ll all go in and dance. Just bite the hamburger and leave my thumb alone, says Ora Lee to Bo as Frances looks on hungrily. A future customer, Little Jack Cauthen, wants to know if anyone would like to buv a duck. And Harriet smiles approvingly, so every- thing is hunky dory. Two friends of long standing — Nat and Phil. Maybe they can ' t find anybody else who ' ll associate with them. Maybe Charlie and Woodrow are going into western pictures. Who does Swede think he is, Tarzan? You guess where the girls are. No use hiding your face, Soupy, we still know you. Believe it or not folks, this is the Black Eagle. Jay McNeil seems to have a headache, and Tiny is laughing at him. Herbie looks well pleased with himself. Must have sold an ad. If Jimmy gets any fatter he ' ll be having group pictures made. UJHO ' S UJHO Fan Leigh has a reputation for dependability, a trait so lacking in most of the younger gen- eration. She ' s a Kappa Delta Pi, Eclectic, and one of the campus beauties. UJHO ' S UJHO No list of campus notables would be com- plete without Jeff Nickelson. The illustrious captain of the 1936 football team has a remark- able ability for making friends, and not only is he an outstanding football player, but excels on the tennis court as well. They were early morning pickets at the victory  strike. Sonny is pointing an accusing finger at someone. Who swiped fack ' s pants? Sam B. is in a pensive mood. Baldy had better be careful lest his brains fry. Who said they already had? Billy and Rooky are Baseball players, too. Comfy, boys? Want a bite of banana? says Phil as he gulps a sandwich. Toe looks like a little boy who lost his mamma. THE SOCIAL YERR The Pi Kappa Delta Banquet. The Booster Club Football Banquet. The Valentine Dance. The W. A. A. Banquet. The B. A. Club Banquet.

Lister as associate editor. The Letter is sent to all alumni and ex-students free of charge. The first issue was sent to 500 former students for whom we had addresses, more or less correct. For the first six years the Letter was published every other month, making six issues for the year. During the summer of 1932 the editors were away from the campus, so the Letter was not written. Since that time the College has found it more satisfactory to issue the Letter five times a year: February, April, June- July, October, December. In the summer many teachers are not at their regular place of work, so many Letters are either returned or destroyed. The February Letter was mailed to 8,500 addresses. About one hundred were returned, chiefly because the individual had moved and had left no new address. Sam Houston State Teachers College boasts of an alumni-ex-student total of around 30,000. We are constantly adding names to our mailing list through the help of friends. When you go away from the campus, let us know where you are and always keep us informed of your accomplishments so we can keep your friends informed. 211 CLUBS AND SOCIETIES ECLECTIC LITERARY SOCIETY Ann Montgomery President ' Chosen from the best ' OFFICERS Ann Montgomery President Frances Burnett Vice-President Opal Runnels Reporter MEMBERS Frankie Angier Lloyd Baker Katherine Ball Hortense Bills Wilma Bradley Frances Burnett Billie Jo Burns LaVera Burr Louise Coon Julia Diemer Sara Adel Fortner Dorothea Francis Jewel Gray Ola Mae Hinson First Row: BURR, BALL, RUNNELS, BAKER, BURNETT, WILSON.

An all d ay retreat, a Freshman welcoming party, a banquet 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 banquet. Dr. Paul Weaver was another outstanding visitor of the Christian Association. Two days were spent in Houston at a Cabinet Training Conference by a large group of officers and members. Three delegates were sent to Hollister, Missouri, to the Southwestern Conference.

They were instrumental in getting for Huntsville and the college, the beautiful Memorial Museum, named after General Sam Houston, and for this reason they stand to be duly honored by the students of Sam Houston State Teachers College.

King Chairman The March Second Celebrations Committee was in charge of the annual program commemorating the birth of Sam Houston, and the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence. The 1937 Committee also had the responsibility of arranging the dedicatory ceremonies of the new Sam Houston Memorial Museum, and is to be commended on the success of its threefold undertaking. Meachum Clark COKER Howell 245 GRIND SECTION ALCALDE SLAVES 248 The Eye By Wyda Wake (The following are excerpts from the popular Houstonian column adjudged to be the best of the year.) o John Ardy Ellisor: What does Mozelle say at the end of her prayers? Nettie Marie Hill: Ah, men! Madge Bennett: So you run a pet shop? Joe Parish: Yes Ma ' am, I can supply you with any kind of gigilos you want. o We note that stars will be uncovered in the amateur contest. Going Sally Rand, eh? lone Jones (to garbage man) : Am I too late for the garbage? Garbage man: No ma ' am, jump right in. o Edgar Turner: My, this suit of mine is tight! I feel as if I were poured into it. LaVerne Bruns: Yes, and forgot to say when! Marion Boone: I washed my face with a tooth brush tonight. Vermille Young: Why? Marion Boone: Amateur night, couldn ' t find my mouth. o John Sublett : Those two hour lectures always make a new man of me. Frankie Angier: You mean they give you something you ' ve been lacking? John Sublett: Yes, sleep! A girl who is all wet dampens a fellow ' s enthusiasm. ' ; o Dentists are men who bore you to tears. Dr. Gee: Can you tell me one of the uses of cowhide? Bradford Bing: Yes, it keeps the cow together. Mr. Evans: Mr. White, correct this sentence, Girls is naturally better looking than boys. Billy White: Girls is artificially better looking than boys. o A girl on the stage doesn ' t find it so difficult to behave, it ' s when she gets outside the stagedoor. o Have you heard about the six day bicycle rider who was arrested for peddling without a license? Elsie Giddens: To love is peace, quiet, and tranquility. Cleve O ' Toole : That ' s not love, that ' s sleep. Soupy Mize: You ' re just in time to settle an argument, Haskell. What is proper dress for a man who follows the horses? Haskell Archer: A white uniform, isn ' t it? Una White: Why didn ' t you find out his name when Mr. Etheridge called the roll? Inez Waid: How could I when he answered present for four people? Johnnie Puckett: Didn ' t I see some fellows kissing you last night? Hazel Skinner: No, darling, he ' s just a kiss proof lipstick salesman who was giving me a free demonstration. 249 250 251 FANTASTIC TRIPPERS 252 4. — ,. HINTS TO THE FRESHMAN GIRL ON HOW TO ACT ON A DATE Don ' t ask him what he thinks of your roommate. He probably has his own ideas on the subject and doesn ' t want to defame a girl ' s character anyhow. Don ' t tell him that the girls at the house don ' t understand you. He doesn ' t either, and doesn ' t care. Don ' t tell him about the good time he missed by not going to the Open House. He had a better time somewhere else. Don ' t make cracks about his driving. Remember, he isn ' t driving because he wants to. o PROFESSOR LINDSEY RECITES I once did use m ' bwain. I was a car conductaw; But now I need no bwain, I am a young instructow. Fuste, from dorm window: Say ice man, do you have the time? Ice Man: Sure, but who ' s sronna hold the horses? I shall now demonstrate what I have in mind, said Dr. Warner as he erased the board. Jim Di Iario says his girl is not much of a dancer but she sure can intermission. In a dark corner of the Men ' s Gym, Scotty and Beryl were gliding to the sincords of David Anthony ' s jam band. Scotty, she whispered, yuh dance so swell all of a sudden. Yuh ' re so light on yuh feet I hardly recognize yuh. Well, chirped Scotty, I thot I ' d dinda wear a pair of socks cos the floor gets splinters in muh toes — and darned if it ain ' t smoothing up my cloggin. Joe Harris: Did you hear about R. L? He drank some sulphuric acid by mistake. Mr. Farrington: Hurt him? Joe H. : No, he said the only thing he noticed was that he made holes in his handerchief every time he blew his nose. Elizabeth Ann Amsler: Your dress is too short. Carolyn Vincent: I don ' t think so. E. A. A.: Then you must be in it it too far. A kiss is a peculiar proposition. Of no use to one, yet absolute bliss to two. The small boy gets it for nothing, the young man has to lie for it, and the old man has to buy it. The baby ' s right, the lover ' s privilege and the hypocrite ' s mask. To a young girl, faith; to a married woman, hope; and to an old maid, charitv. Mr. Longino went into a shop to buy a jar. Seeing one was upside down he exclaimed, How absurd! This jar has no mouth! Turning it over he was once more astonished. Why the bottom ' s gone, too! he ejaculated. v p Dp 254 255 Baldy Garrett says the difference between a snake and a flea is that a snake crawls on its own stomach. And Nat, Jr. opines that the best book he has read in some time is, How to Make a Fat Filly Thin, by Ryder Haggard. Underneath the mistletoe Glen Mae Woodall Stood. She stood and stood and stood and stood, And stood and stood and stood. Billy White said that stealing a kiss may be petty larceny, but it ' s grand larceny too. They sat on the steps at midnight, But her love was not to his taste; His reach was 36 inches, While hers was a 46 waist. Chink Kivell seeing a young lady down town one day walked up to her and said, You know, you look like Helen Black. Yes, she replies, but you should see me in blue. M. A. Smith walked into a saloon, ordered a glass of milk, but was served a milk punch by mistake. After drinking it, Smith lifted his eyes to Heaven and said : O Lord, what a cow! o SOME THINGS WE ' D LIKE TO SEE INAUGURATED AT SAM HOUSTON Cots installed in class rooms so that students can sleep more comfortably. A trolley from the Main Building to the Library. Shep Field ' s Orchestra to play for all Open Houses. A student body that would resent things the administration imposes upon them. Major Bowes to replace Major Thomas in Chapel Fridays. Free Coca-Colas served during classes to benefit those students who are unable to obtain cots. Kendrick Menefee: Why do you make that gurgling noise? Woermann Gibson: I ' m trying to swallow that line you ' re throwing. Billy jo Burns: Hello! I haven ' t seen you for twenty years. Where ' ve you been? Glen Mae Woodall: Oh, I saw two O ' Neill plays and read ' Gone With the Wind. ' Bill Olbrich: Name a great time saver. Jack Clark: Love at first sight. 256 257 m — im — mi ii | l FISH BARFIELD ' S SOLILOQUY To go to bed, or not to go to bed, — that is the question; Whether it is more practical in the mind to suffer The rams and bull ring of outraged Sophomores Or submit to persecution And allow reason to rule desire. To go to bed — to sleep- Once more; and by a sleep to say we end The tradition and the thousand petty duties That a Fish is heir to, ' tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish ' d. To go to bed, to sleep — To sleep! Perchance to dream! Ay, but there ' s a rub For in that sleep of dreams what Soph may come, And stick his head into my door, seeing me asleep Must give me pause : there ' s the respect That makes calamity of such a life. Katherine Ball : The man I marry shall be my intellectual equal. Clyde White : Why marry a moron when you can get something better? Alvis Bolton : The horn o n your car must be broken. Brooks Holleman: No, it ' s just indifferent. Alvis Bolton: Indifferent! What do you mean? Brooks Holleman: It just don ' t give a hoot. Tane Litherland: Where ' s Dopey? Dolores Fuste: He ' s over eating at the Dormitory. fane: Who ever heard of anybody overeating at the Dorm? Clarence Thomas: Did you keep the date with your girl last night in all that rain? John Marion Weatherall : Naw, I waited for her two hours, and she didn ' t come, so I stood her up. Opal Runnels version of a certain poem: I think that I shall never see A D as lovely as a B — A B whose rounded form is pressed Upon the records of the blessed. A D comes easily — and yet It isn ' t easy to forget; D ' s are made by fools like me, But only God could make a B . Vivian Crawford: Waiter, what ' s this? Waiter: It ' s bean soup, mam.
