O College, fairest of our dreams Editor ' s Foreword In the creation of this the seventh vol- ume of L ' Acadien, custom has inevitably predetermined a part of our work. Yet we have made many changes, keeping in mind that nothing is too good for South- western. We have hoped, planned and perseveringly worked to give Southwest- ern the Best Annual Ever. If we have succeeded, we are more than satisfied. If not, we must rest content in our en- deavors. L ' Acadien of 1 924 is yours — for criticism, and for approval. •jBehtcaitmt ®o tlje (iHemorg of Jr. deorge JRnlanft ©olsmt pJIjo remembered Jiioutljfoestern in Jtjts mill, and tljns rendered a service to an end- less line of future students, tl|is uolumc is dedicated uiitt| reference and appreciation.

They were lonesome for the folks back home, but some of them were made of the stuff that makes real men and women and some of them stuck to old Southwestern. Year by year, though, we have watched them fall by the wayside. Too, others came in from other colleges and other states. They were entered on the roll of Our class may be compared with a baseball team. Each one in turn has his try-out, and then he is admitted to the team. Now we are at the bat, each one in turn. First ball over BALL ONE Freshman Second ball over... BALL TWO Sophomore Third ball over .BALL THREE Junior Fourth ball over HOME RUN. Senior Thus we find that we have successfully scored and won the game : the game of life. We hail from all the various departments, but answer to one call — SENIOR! Having been put through all the trials of college life, we feel that we are now equipped to face the problems that will confront us in the future. We mastered the most important of all problems when we fought back homesickness and lonesome- ness in our Freshman year. Having solved that problem, we were able to face those of the Sophomore, Junior and Senior years more easily. We have fought it through to the finish. We are men and women now. We can sit in revery and think over the days that were the happiest in our lives — those spent at Southwestern. We go boldly to face a world that we know little of. But we feel sure that there is a prosperous future awaiting every member of the Class of ' 24. We can ' t say that we ' ve reached the end — there is no end. We are just be- ginning. — Class Historian: HARRY THOMAS. the Class of ' 24. PACE THIRTY-NINE rtVACADIEN 24 Radioing ' 24 N EXILE from my native land for ten years, I arrived in New York May 30th, in the good year 1934. My Alma Mater is never very far back in the recess of my mind, but when May comes again it gains uppermost place and I close my eyes and see again the lovely campus dotted with gaily clad girls, groups of proud and benevolent parents, and that long silent black line marching to the tune of a song that was ever dear to our hearts. May 30th is a sacred date with me, as it is with every other member of the Senior Class of 1 924, and an intense desire possessed me to find out what fortune or misfortune had been allotted those who had gone on before at the same time I went. In this fast-moving age one may get connected with all parts of the world in a short time, so bubbling over with enthusiasm, I hailed a Yellow Cab and made my way to the nearest radio station. But such important personages had several of my former classmates become that I did not have to ride through the crowded streets of the city for over ten minutes before I came face to face with a familiar name in glaring electric lights across the front of a noted theatre. The sign read: Elizabeth Lyman, World ' s Famous Dancer, and I wondered then if the training Beth had received in Why Smith Left Home had fitted her in the art of Terpsichore. My taxi stopped at the radio station and a small boy came running up to me and handed me a slip of pink paper which urged me to consult Madame Alice Gaty concerning her beauty secrets. I entered the station owned by Miss Wentz and found Daniel Winters in charge. He told me that he had just caught South- western and he had a choice bit of news to tell about several of our former class- mates. Gladys Viator was head of the French Department, Alice Pipes had sociology in her care and had succeeded in eliminating the- outlining of Carver ' s Social Relations. Gus Trahan was athletic coach and had succeeded in putting out championship teams that would make one proud that he was a loyal Bulldog. Dan extended the wave length of the radio, and the most celestial music I ever heard reached my ears. It came from what must have been the soul of a magnifi- cent pipe organ and as the strains of the music ceased, I heard a most familiar voice and as I listened I heard a wonderful sermon preached by none other than our own classmate, Brooks Forrester. The wave length shifted again and then we caught Washington, D. C. Con- gress was in session and {Catherine Lyman, the lady from Louisiana, had the floor. PAGE FORTY 19 LACADIEN 4 She was trying to get an appropriation from the staid old gentlemen for the purpose of eradicating mosquitoes in Louisiana swamps. With her smooth tongue she per- suaded them that her cause was a good one, and the appropriation was passed. In a few minutes Westinghouse Station was caught and whom should I have the pleasure of hearing deliver a lecture to a group of workers, but Carl Perkins who had become manager of this great institution. Having heard Carl, I knew that Cecil could not be far behind, and then I heard strains of a violin and the happy thought struck me that Cecil was entertaining the workers with his music. He was Carl ' s mighty assistant. And from Dan I heard that Ralph Lyon had become a famous electrician. I thought it was time for me to journey onward but I was urged to stay and hear some more of our Class of 1 924. Dan volunteered the infor- mation that our friend George Sudduth was catcher on the White Sox baseball team. Eugene Bourgeois had become a famous play writer and was giving wonder- ful plays to the American people. Cecelia Quirk, so I understood, had become the head of the Biology department of the University of Illinois, and as I heard this startling piece of news I wondered what Mr. Claycomb would think of his pro- tege. Putting the receiver to my ears again, I heard a lyric soprano voice singing that song we all loved so well, Song of Love, and I knew that no one but Shubert himself could sing that song as could Mrs. McKean. Instinct told me she was the artist. I became sentimental all of a sudden and begged Dan to tell me something of our class who had entered into the holy bonds of matrimony. Louise Pelletier was happily married. Grace Jordan, also tired of single life, had married a professor at S. L. I. I craved information and begged Dan not to stop talking, because through this radio he had kept up with our classmates. Florence Tibbits had become an instructor in chemistry at Tulane University. Harry Thomas as a civil engineer had the job of relaying the O. S. T. and thereby establishing a shorter route from Lafayette to New Orleans. Miss Webre had gone to the University of Paris to study French, but she had not been heard of in a long time. Mrs. Lacoste had written a penmanship book that had been adopted by all of the schools in the U. S. Bertha Keller was a dress maker in Franklin Simon ' s and she was creating fashions for the coming season. Helen Lea had become a trained nurse and was doing her part for society in this splendid calling. PAGE FORTY-ONE 19 VAC ADTEN •2 Ena Mae Miller and Agnes Comeaux were to return today from work in foreign missions. Adele Cornay had a wonderful florist shop in New York and her name was known throughout the city. Dan told me all of this information that I wanted to hear so badly, but before I could leave, I had to put the receiver to my ears again. This time I caught Station XYZ, and who do you suppose was talking on the other end? None other than Geneva Prater. A ranch and many horses were her pride and joy. She was the sole owner and a proud possessor was she. I thanked Dan for a most enjoyable evening, and as I took my leave I could not help saying: Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight, And make us a Class again just for tonight. — Margaret Firnberg.

A Sophomore you say? Ah yes, ' tis true! We are in some opinions rather small, Although sometimes I thinly if we but fynew, The in-between days are the best of all; For on us not too many duties rest. We are not held as strictly to the test, As those whom stately seniorhood has blest. Wise fools is what they say our title means; Perhaps they do not l(now that, after all, The world itself on such a title leans. The wisest men were f(nown, if you recall, By such a title though they did the most To lead us forward on Time ' s endless coast, And of their deeds and actions now We boast! And then perhaps again, I too might say, The four important stages in men ' s life May correspond a bit in every way To each succeeding year of college life: As Freshmen we are children yet untried, As Sophomores youthful pleasures with us bide, And Juniors, Seniors, meet life ' s serious side. ' So now we may say and face our S. L. I., We are your Sophomores and our hearts are true, Call on us as you will and we shall try To give the best within us all to you, Not waiting for another lime or day, But giving loyal service while we may. And helping all We can in every way. — Portia Funderburg. PAGE SIXTY-FOUR 19 LACADIEN 24 Sophomore Class History HE SOPHOMORE Class of 1924 of Southwestern Louisiana Insti- tute has all the component parts of a winner. It has a wide range of students coming from all parts of Louisiana, from the swamps of Cam- eron to the bright lights of New Orleans. When the Sophomore Class entered Southwestern, we were very much like other Freshies. Our timid appearance and uneasy air was the signal for the crusade against our youthful vanity and innocence, and we were subjected to many indignities by our superiors. We shall never forget the first foot- ball game and the air of expectancy clearly shown by those wise Sophs and still more dignified Seniors. How were we to know of the queer antics we were to per- form for the amusement of the crowd? Now that we have come unto the honors to which Sophomores are entitled, we accept them with dignity and are conscious that we are able to play our part in the affairs of Southwestern. And after two years of real work the class claims the title of Honorable Sophs. Our class need not feel ashamed of its record of participation in Southwestern ' s activities, for from the first we have taken an active part. The Freshmen formed the backbone of the football and basketball teams. They raised themselves out of the mire of obscurity by defeating the Varsity in football. We may add that the team of the past season, composed of many Sophomores, is the best Southwestern has ever produced. We are not only represented in athletics, but several members have already distinguished themselves along literary lines on the campus. The Sophomores have wonderful staying powers, an attribute which will make their influence felt more and more in their remaining two years of college. As this year comes to an end, we realize the truth of the slogan: Once a Southwesterner, always a Southwesterner. — Grace McCrory. PAGE SIXTY-FIVE l9 LACADIEN Sophomore Class Prophecy H GOODNESS! This has been such an awful day. I just cannot keep my mind on a single thing, and to-morrow I must make that speech before my club. So much depends on it, too. Why can ' t I think? Yes, today is the twenty- seventh. The twenty-seventh of May! How dear to my memory ! Ten years ago today I graduated from old South- western. Strange I had not thought of it before. Now I know why I cannot keep my mind on business. My thoughts wander back to familiar scenes and faces. How I wish I could live over those dear old days, just walk through those stately halls, stroll over the campus and greet old friends once more. I wonder if the old campus is changed much. And my school- mates! I shall never forget them. The Sophomore class of 1924! That was a dear old class. I wonder what all my classmates are doing now. Some I have not seen since the day we left our Alma Mater; others I can keep in touch with through their work. There ' s Melva Oden, Representative in Congress; Mildred Newport, who, tired of politics, after her lively term as Governor of Louisiana, has declined the nomination for the United States Senate. And Martha Smith is a Latin instructor at Yale. I remember that was her great ambition, to be a Latin teacher at some university. Where there ' s a will there ' s a way. Kate Davis is also at Yale, teach- ing Literature. Quite a few inventors were turned out of that class, too. Who would have thought Hubert Bourgeois would turn out to be an astronomer? Now there will be no more wild tales about what is happening on Mars, since Hubert invented a high-powered telescope through which you can see the planets as clearly as an amoeba through a microscope. Ewart Adams, known at school at Fatty, made his fame by discovering a force stronger than gravity which when put into operation keeps objects up in the air instead of on the ground. But by removing this force, objects will come back to earth again. They say that aeroplane fall at Southwestern years ago set him to thinking of the invention, but he didn ' t tell anyone what he was going to do when he got big. The thing I am most interested in, though, is Julia Blaize ' s beauty parlor. She can turn brunettes into blondes and vice versa, can even change the color of your eyes. I always wanted brown eyes; now just as soon as I get rich I am going to have my eyes done in brown. They say she charges five thousand dollars to make the transformation. I noticed in the paper where Ethel Gahn and her husband were spending a year in the wilds of Africa, hunting big game. I wonder what luck they are having. PACE SIXTY-SIX 19 LACADIEN 24 Jessie Mae Clement is also abroad, but doing mission work. Poor Jessie Mae, she was disappointed in love and sought foreign fields to heal the wounds. I never thought she would take life seriously. Another person not soon to be forgotten was Portia Funderburg, our class president and poetess. To think that one of my classmates would write the first real American epic fills me with pride. But I always knew there was something worth while in Portia. I remember how I used to hate to go to Comparative Literature with her. She always made me feel so insignificant. I don ' t suppose Sarah Hanchey will come back home this year, she is so ab- sorbed in her painting in Italy. Great artis ts soon forget the little things of life. She is working on a painting that critics think will be her masterpiece. Jessie Post is another outstanding figure. Her talent is in the science world. She didn ' t star in chemistry at Southwestern for nothing. Another great scientist turned out from Southwestern is Jennie Regan, Chemistry instructor at Harvard. I see where Winnie Clement eloped with a young millionaire and is spending her honeymoon in the Alps Mountains in Switzerland. Others who ended their career in matrimony are: Evelyn Klein, Mildred Conrad, Lillian Moody, Ethel Rock, and Lillian Lasalle. Lillian gave up Maude for a husband. Since Maude fell heiress to her uncle ' s fortune, she has been engaged in charity work. She says she never will marry for she doesn ' t have time to fool with men now. Little Aline Castille decided long ago to let fame and fortune slide and has made her chosen one a most charming little wife. How interested we were in her romance in those by-gone days. Annie Carter, always popular at Southwestern, is director of girls ' athletics at Judson College; and then there is Bessie Watson, one of the valued members of that well known detective agency which is creating such excitement throughout the country with its startling disclosures. Joyce Merritt climbed on up to the goal of success in her chosen vocation, that of administering to the sick. She is practicing medicine now in New York City. Adventurous John Mahoney has been making a fortune in South America, so the papers state. Raoul Landry decided that old friends were better than new, and so stayed on in Lafayette and is now superintendent of the city schools of that town. Just yesterday I received a surprise when I found out that the Bresie Brothers Steel Corporation was founded by our own Arthur and Rudolph. I notice where Alice Watts ' books on physical education are going to be used in all the colleges, and the state has adopted the Watts ' Handbook on physical exercises as the stand- ard system for all the public schools. PAGE SIXTY-SEVEN Stella Griffith, our class comedian, while singing in the choir at her home church, found that she had a voice and is having it trained under the direction of Galli Curci. We wish her success, for the world has need of more such artists. Inez Purl decided that teaching was too trying on her nerves, so bought a ranch in western Texas and built a summer hotel where all teachers are invited to come and spend their vacations, regaining their strength and shattered nerves by engaging in the various sports such as horseback riding. To keep up with every member of so large a class would be impossible. Some have slipped out and we have no knowledge of their whereabouts, but we are sure they have made a success in whatever field of life they chose to walk. Oh, if I could only talk to someone about those good old days gone but not forgotten! Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight and make me a Sopho- more again just for tonight. I would phone Ethel Hanchey and get her to come over, but I know she is too busy with her new patients now since the accident. Little did she think when she was preparing to be a teacher that she would change her profession so abruptly, and in the bargain get a doctor husband and a hospital to look after. Let me see, when is the dedication of those new buildings on the campus of Southwestern to take place? I will have to look that up. Why it is tomorrow! I had no idea it was so soon. I must be there. I will have to hurry, for I just have time to call off that meeting, pack my suitcase and catch that 5:15 train for Lafay- ette. That meeting can wait until next week, for nothing else is important when Southwestern is concerned. — Belle Hanchey. PACE SIXTY-EIGHT PAGE SIXTY-NINE LACADIEK 24 Freshman Class MEMBERS Course Yrs.

I dreamed that I was Mrs. White, And Prexy, busied all the day, And Doctor Dearmont teaching Sike, I ne ' er had time to stop and stay. I dreamed that I was any Prof., With many a winning smile, To lure my victims on their way And flunk them after while. I dreamed that I was Mrs. R. A-staging comic acts, To give the lazy studes a jar, In driving home the facts. I dreamed that I was on the Board And putting out that Annual book; I knew my grades were dropping toward • That dismal, dark Plutonic nook. I dreamed I was ' most everyone, With each and every kind of rep; And then I woke to thank my stars That after all I was a Prep. PAGE SEVENTY-FOUR LITERARY PAGE SEVENTY-FIVE 19 LACADIEN 4 The Legend of the Grove PROLOGUE DUSK Long lingered day, and the night, with her infinite murmuring stillness, Waited with outstretched arms to cover the earth with her mantle. Dark ' gainst the Western sky, all aglow with the light of the sunset, The silhouette trees stood impressed, waiting for that which they knew not; And the stars blossomed out, one by one, like jewels in night ' s dusky carpet, Flickering gleams in the twilight, fanned by the winds of the evening; But the eye of the great artist Maker, as he gazed on his work of perfection, Spoke of a toil well considered, yet acomplished with infinite patience. Then from the heart of the night, a voice spoke with lingering clearness And answering the question unspoken, it told me this tale of the pinelands. THE LEGEND Far from the path of the white man, in the days now forever departed, There dwelt, in the heart of the Southland, a wandering tribe of the Red Man. Happy were they and contented, their warriors the bravest in battle, Their old men the wisest in council, their chieftain most skillful of leaders, And the winds oftentimes in their passing would whisper soft tales to the tree tops Of the beauty and grace of the maidens, their skill in all household perfections, And the birds told the tale in their singing, and even the murmuring waters, As they traveled in swiftness and silence, spread the story throughout all the South- land. But fairer than even the fairest of other Attakapas maidens Was gracious and learned Kewanee, the daughter of Soho, the chieftain. Taller was she than her sisters, with a kindly yet queenly demeanor, The favorite child of her father, beloved of all of the tribesmen, And around her the warriors came thronging, each pressing his suit yet more strongly, Each hoping that lovely Kewanee would bestow upon him her affection. But to all she was deaf save to Sunka, a warrior bold and a hunter, Well known through the tribe for his daring, for his skill in all manner of warfare, And in spite of her father ' s persuasion, Kewanee cared only for Sunka, Although of his birth was known nothing, while she was the child of a chieftain. And the days, as they fled by with laughter, smiled again and again at the wooing; Even Nature tempted the lovers; the birds and the skies and the sunshine, PAGE SEVENTY-SIX l9 LACADIEN 4 Until Sunka, afraid yet desirous, spoke at last of his love to Kewanee, And together they went to her father, to tell him their wish and decision. Then indeed was the chief sadly puzzled, half angry and half disappointed, For he wished not to see such a marriage, yet he waited to speak his refusal, And pondering the problem most deeply, he called on his wise men in council. And told them the tale of Kewanee and her lover, the nameless and lowborn. Then spoke Muskogean, the oldest and wisest of men in the council, Oh chief, thou should ' st know that where love is, no mortal is there that can hinder, Yet because thou dost think that the maiden should be parted from Sunka, her lover, That the love she professes is madness, and in time would but lead her to sorrow; If indeed thou art sure in thy thinking, then send this young brave into battle. And give him command of the warriors thou hast chosen to follow the Sagwaws, Those cruel and fearless invaders, who threaten the peace of our nation. If he dies, then thy troubles are over, if he lives be thou sure he is worthy. So send him afar on his mission, that he may accomplish thy purpose. Then the chief bent his head in agreement, and sending for Sunka the Hunter, Told him and gave him his orders to follow the tribe of the Sagwaws, And return not again to his tribesmen till the foes were destroyed and routed; Then Sunka, obeying his chieftain, prepared the next day for his journey And bidding farewell to Kewanee, set out with his braves, turning southward. As before, tho the days travelled swiftly, to Kewanee alone were they longer. And even the birds sang her sorrow; in their notes was the sadness of parting. While the trees whispered softly together, and wondered at Sunka ' s delaying. For the months followed months and no tidings were brought to the lonely Kewanee. Then when two years had departed and Spring came again to the forest, Kewanee took with her the maidens whose braves had followed her lover, And going again to her father, she told him her plan and intention, How she wanted to follow her lover and learn of his fate or detention. For days and for nights had she waited, and now she could linger no longer, For she and her maidens had spoken and useless would be his refusal, And the chief by his arts of persuasion could tempt not the maid from her purpose. So then, with his blessing upon them, they set out full soon, turning southward. (For the chief, knowing little of women, thought they soon would return to their homeland, With the fear of the forest upon them and enough of such lovers ' adventures.) But the maid and her band traveled onward, with no thought of the danger sur- rounding, And Kewanee, the bravest, upheld them and lent them again of her courage, Until at the end of their journey they came to the land of the Sagwaws. PACE SEVENTY-SEVEN 1Q.T And there, undecided, they faltered, for they were but women and helpless, While the men of the Sagwaws were heartless and cruel to those whom they hated; So they lingered without pressing forward, until at the close of the summer A wandering band of the Sagwaws chanced to come on the brave Indian maidens. And wondering much at their courage, asked the purpose and plan of their journey. So Kewanee, the fearless, spoke boldly and told them the tale of the lovers, And begging their kindness and mercy, she asked of the fate of the warriors. Then the braves and their leader laughed loudly and pointed in scorn and derision To a mound not far in the distance, and this action itself told the story. So Kewanee, in grief and despairing, gave the signal of flight to her maidens, But around them the warriors were thronging, and the maidens, with fear, saw their purpose. To Kewanee they turned as for refuge, and she, with a calm steadfast courage, Knelt in the midst of her captors and prayed with her arms stretching upward, And the Great Spirit heard her and hearkened and immediately gave her an Then the scorn on the face of the red men turned to fear as they threw themselves downward ; For there arose in the place of each maiden a stately and dignified cypress, With all leafy arms stretching upward, in wordless and mute supplication, While together they murmured in sadness and wept for the fate of their loved ones. Till the soil had grown damp with the teardrops, and wherever a tear fell a clover Sprang up, and today you will find them, the clovers we know as the four leaf; For the beautiful groves of the cypress are really the Indian maidens. Still today, as of old, they are standing to speak of the Great Father ' s mercy. Slowly the voice hushed its speaking and the trees bent their heads as in answer. Surely the echoes grew fainter and Night, with her spell, was upon us; Darker and even still darker the shadows grew longer and longer, Finally merged into blackness, and still in the silence I lingered. For we are but humble beseechers, the shrine of God ' s worship is Nature, And the hearts that we think of as savage are nearer to heaven than we are. So I wondered again in my dreaming how God, with divinest of touches, C ould lean from His throne in the Heavens and play on the heartstrings of mortals. And I felt then the Garden of Eden was with us as in the beginning, For by our own actions we suffer and not by God ' s will or intention. answer. EPILOGUE Portia Funderburg. S. L. I., Lafayette, La. December 17, 1923. PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT Pride ATURE has ordained that of the billions of human beings which she has created and daily maintains, no two are exactly alike. They differ by race, by color, by stature, by habits of living, by mental capacity, by spiritual ideals, and all of these differences are traceable, basically, to physical causes. The dweller beneath the tropical skies is given more pigment in his skin and becomes dark, while the inhabitant of the Arctic regions acquires a protective covering of fat. Those forced by nature to hustle actively to gain a livelihood become active and strong, while those who can live without effort become indolent and weak. The cold salt winds of Scotland and Scandinavia produce the wonderful complexions and blonde beauty that are envied by the Cuban, whose olive-tinted cheeks are kissed daily by the warm Gulf breezes. Likewise, environment and occupation produce a difference in the needs, the ambitions, and minds of men. The Eskimo requires a dwelling sufficiently strong to keep out the bitter winds and sufficiently tight to keep in the warmth, while the Central American needs but a thatch of malacca palm. The fisherman has his ambition bounded by the ownership of a fast fishing boat and a cottage near the harbor, where a wife and children await his return. The banker halts his hopeful dreams only at the control of the finances of a nation. There are men, who never have a thought that carries them beyond their own comfort and pleasure, and there are those who, never thinking of self, give their lives to further the happi- ness and well being of others. Thus we have a world of different men and women. We have egotists and altruists, worthy and unworthy, spiritual and carnal — no two alike in habit of thought or manner of life. But there is one thing which all men possess alike. However much they differ in other ways, there is one trait of character which is found in all of them. This is pride. Pride may be defined as self-congratulation. It is the taking of pleasure in what one ' s self has accomplished. Savage and civilized, the educated and ignorant, the great and the obscure, all seem to possess this attribute in common. The cause in each case may differ, but t he effect is there. One may be proud of his tatooed back, another of his corded muscles or his great farm lands, while still another may be proud of his knowledge of the stars. Some are even proud of their pro- PAGE SEVENTY- NINE l9 ACADIEN 24 ficiency in crime, but when an individual ceases to take pride in anything, it is certain indication that he has lost all interest in life. These differences in men and in the subject of the pride is what works for the continual progress of the world in all directions. Were all men astronomers, we might know a great deal more about the stars than we do now, but our civilization would certainly be far less advanced than it is now. It requires astronomers and explorers, miners and builders, scientists and wielders of the pick, designers of engines and bridges, farmers and merchants, artists and authors, each taking pride in his special line of endeavor to develop the wide progress of the human race. And that is where we college students ccme in. A great many of us do not take enough pride in our work. There is too much of a tendency to simply do enough work to barely get by with, because of the knowledge that there is some- one else who can do the work a little better. We must remember that it takes a seemingly endless variety of achievements to keep up our modern standard of civilization, and there is always a place in this world for a man who can and will do something. Struggle hard with whatever you have to do, take pride in your achievements, for our work here at school is just as necessary to the world as the work of the thousands of miners and farmers. As we look to them for our supply of coal and food, so they look so us for guidance and leadership in the future. We are each dependent on the other, and the race advances in knowledge and usefulness because each is different and urged by a different sort of pride. — Katherine Lyman PACE EIGHTY ,9 ACADIEK 24 The Eternal Triangle CROSS THE street Harry could see them. Yes! there they were hand in hand. Yes, Sir! That freckled-faced, red-headed imp had stolen his girl; he would get even with him. Such thoughts as these flashed through the mind and heart of the unfortunate Harry as he jealously gazed upon the happy pair. This love- smitten youth was only eleven, but Cupid had been merciless with his dart, and Harry ' s heart was torn asunder. Even a glance from his beloved Ethel would cause his heart to soar on high and mingle with the angels and arch- angels in his happiness. And now that red-headed Tommy was beguiling his one ray of light away from him by an ice-cream cone. Could fate be worse! Harry longed for ten cents so that he could buy an ice-cream cone, but it was useless. Days ago the little boy had spent his last penny on a new sling-shot and now he did not know how to add another cent to the pockets of his new pants. But Harry had a big sister well versed in the art of loving and being loved, and of this omniscient being he cautiously asked: Say, Sis — Why don ' t that big Bob fella ' ever come to see you any more? Oh, he is acting indifferent; he thinks that will help his case, she replied in an it won ' t tone. This answer made the little boy think. Indifference would get them.eh? All right, he would show Ethel a thing or two; and that red-headed, freckled-face Tommy also! The next day was Sunday, and it had long been the custom for Harry to stop by the house of his idol on his way to Sunday School. This custom had begun when Harry was first smitten by the pleading blue eyes and beautiful flaxen curls of the little girl. But this time-honored habit was not destined to last. Harry started out of his gate at exactly half-past nine by his new watch, and walked leisurely along the way. As usual, Ethel was in the parlor peeping from behind the curtains to see when to run out to meet her little Lochinvar. But much to the surprise of the waiting damsel, he sauntered past, not even giving the house a glance, so Ethel thought, but Harry was gazing at her from under half- closed li ds and his heart skipped a beat and became wild, until suddenly he re- membered his role, and then he shut his eyes tight and hastened his steps toward Sunday School. Ethel, much distressed by the actions of her formerly fond suitor, slowly wended her way toward the church behind the indifferent boy. Wait, Ethel, yelled a voice from behind. Ethel was loth to wait for PACE EIGHTY-ONE 19 LACADIEN 4 Tommy, but she knew for certain that he possessed a whole quarter, and as ice- cream cones is ice-cream cones, she reluctantly waited for the freckled-face lad. Together they continued their way to Sunday School, but conversation did not flourish. Ethel was devising a scheme by which she could regain the love of Harry, and Tommy was grinning all over his little freckled face to think that he had gotten ahead of his able rival. Once inside of the tiny room, Ethel marched expectantly to her little chair. Of course, Harry will be standing repentantly by, she thought, but again she was disappointed. Harry, altogether unaware of the appealing blue eyes and golden curls of the little girl, was in the opposite corner reading a hymn book. Tommy ' s glee knew no bounds. He blushed as red as his hair and, for once, his freckles were completely hidden. Harry, with a heavy heart, peeped over his hymn book, which was upside down, and gazed with frenzy at Tommy. How he hated freckles and red hair. He did not see how any girl could enjoy looking at such a specimen as Tommy, who possessed both of these defacements in a large degree. He was glad he didn ' t have but three freckles on his nose, and he was glad his hair was glossy black instead of fiery red. But, as Sunday School progressed, Harry almost lost his determination to prove himself indifferent. The children had begun singing their favorite hymn. Heretofore, Harry and Tommy had stood, one on one side of the self-possessed little rascal and one on the other. When this beautiful hymn had been sung on former occasions, both little boys would face Ethel and empty their lungs of their full capacity of air and sing. The little girl would stand between them and gaze upon one and then upon the other. She had great respect for such lovely loud singing. But today it was different; Tommy turned toward Ethel and gave vent to his pent up joy in a burst of song. Yes, Harry could hear his strained voice mingling with the ups and downs of the other pupils. It seemed to the jealous boy that Tommy had never before in his life sung with such gusto, and to such an appreciative audience. More than once Ethel glanced at the sulky boy but she could not catch his eye. He had always just glanced at the ceiling or at the toes of his sturdy brown shoes. In vain did Ethel try to overtake him on his way home, but Harry thought differently. No! he was not going to have his assumed indifference ruined by the weakness of a moment. And so, hand in hand, Ethel and Tommy walked home. Sis, remarked Harry a few days later, that big Bob fella ' s at the door, and say, Sis, what made him come back to see you again? Oh, I don ' t know, Harry, but he is so lovely, answered his big sister as she gave him a hug. Harry nodded his glossy head wisely. He had been on the verge of giving up his plan of winning his lady by so-called indifference, but now PACE EIGHTY-TWO l9 LACADIEN 4 he took fresh courage. Bob was a wise fella after all, he thought. He saw no reason for not following the example of the successful Bob. Harry did not have a chance to display his apparent disinterest in the maiden in question until a few days later. In the meanwhile, by a great effort, he had hoarded up five pennies. With his wealth tightly clutched in his hand he marched to the bakery on the corner and purchased five lovely sticks of peppermint. Now, in children ' s eyes, peppermint sticks rank second to ice-cream cones in deliciousness. And so, the peppermint-clad boy marched bravely down the street and waited behind a fence until he saw Ethel approaching, switching her stiff pink skirt as she walked. Very unconcernedly, Harry emerged from his hiding place and met Ethel face to face. Her glance traveled from Harry ' s mouth, which boasted a peppermint stick of great length, down to his pockets, which bulged with mouth-watering candy, and up again to his mouth. To Ethel this state of affairs was beyond belief. With her sweetest smile and a flirtatious toss of her curls she greeted him. Harry returned her salutation with an indifferent nod, such as he had seen Bob employ toward his sister on a previous occasion, and walked his way. Gladly would he have laid every piece of peppermint at the feet of that winsome bit of childhood, looking at him with such a hurt expression. But Harry was a clever lad, and had benefitted by observation. Bob did not retrace his steps and bow at the feet of his girl, therefore Harry would not stop and bestow his candy upon his girl, even though his heart was aching and pining for one fond clasp of Ethel ' s soft hand. Slowly Harry passed by. But Ethel could stand existence without Harry no longer. With one skip she was standing beside the unhappy boy, and looking sweetly up into his eyes, said in the meekest of voices: Harry, are you mad at me? The heart of Harry became wild again. It was impossible to act indifferent when he looked down into those appealing eyes. The ache in his heart was suddenly healed. Without saying a word he took her soft little hand in his own and pulling the biggest stick of peppermint out of his pocket placed it with great precision in the center of Ethel ' s little rosebud mouth. Harry had never been as happy before in his life. Suddenly, from around the corner, Tommy ' s cheery whistle could be heard. Mingled with the love, in Harry ' s heart, crept an atom of revenge. Yes, now was his chance to get even with that red-headed, freckled-face boy. Ethel, said Harry sweetly, do you like freckles. The little coquette looked slyly at Harry ' s nose, which was graced with three freckles, and replied: No, I just like three freckles. Tommy got the benefit of these last remarks and turned pale underneath his generous sprinkling of freckles, a paleness which made them seem to protrude from his face and dance before the eyes of Harry. — Alice Pipes. PACE EIGHTY-THREE 1 l9 LACADIEN 4 When the last days of college are ended, and we ' ve whispered our final good bye, When the real work of life is beginning and ambition is holding us high, Can we say, with our heads proudly lifted, no fear nor regret in our eye, I have given my best to Southwestern, no man could do more if he try? Have I ever been known as a shirker, ever failed to come up to the test? Have I often denied myself pleasure, because I considered the rest ? Have I always been sweet and obliging and treated each friend as a guest, Knowing well that of life ' s store of treasures, true courtesy ' s one of the best? Have I loved and been loved by my schoolmates, or have I been cold from the start? Too filled with my own selfish pleasures to give of my friendship a part. Too indifferent to care and unthinking, I may have sent many a dart That, cruel and swift in its passage, left sometimes a hurt, bleeding heart. Not always can school days be with us, and soon, all too soon must we say That for us college pleasures have ended, into life ' s broader paths must we stray, But on! may we always remember, as we journey along day by day, That the kingdom of unselfish service in the hearts of us all should hold sway. — Portia Funderberg.

These twelve were destined to be the nucleus of one of the best teams that ever carried the Vermilion colors into battle. From these twelve veterans of the past the squad grew until there were three teams running signal practice. Sitting on the turf on that opening day the squad listened to words of welcome in football code by Coach Mobley. The opening game of the season was with Centenary College of Shreveport, one of the strongest teams in the South. It was to this team the Bulldogs were destined to lose by the heaviest score of the season, 35-0. Outweighed by a heavy margin, they went down fighting. On September 29th the Bulldogs plunged into the Green Wave of Tulane University at Tulane Stadium. The Bulldogs were weakened by injuries received the week before from Centenary, but they tore great holes in Tulane ' s line, holding her to a score of 7-2 in the first half. In the last half the swift back field of the Greenies succeded in running around Southwestern ' s terminals for two more touch- downs. The final score was 20-2. At L. S. U. in Baton Rouge, October 6th, was fought one of the most brilliant football battles in which the Bulldogs have ever participated. The whistle blew at 3 o ' clock and the fight was on! The game was fast and snappy. The Tigers were swept off their feet by the heavy line plunging of the Bulldogs, but when Southwestern opened her aerial attack they were completely bewildered. The score remained 3-0 in Southwestern ' s favor until the fourth quarter when the Tigers carried the oval across for a 7-3 victory in the last four minutes of play. Jefferson College was the next to meet the Bulldogs in battle. The game was played on Girard Field October 1 3th. It was a one-sided game from the start ; the Jefferson boys were a clean football team but they were outclassed. Coach Mobley used his entire third team before the game ended, but in spite of that the score was 81-0 in our favor. The Louisiana College Wildcats came down to play the Bulldogs on Octo- ber 20th; they were full of confidence for an easy victory, but the Wildcats be- came very tame indeed and went back to their neck of the woods after the Bulldogs had treed them. The final tally was 31-10, another victory for Southwestern. The hero is not fed on srveets. — Emerson. PACE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-THREE 19 ACADIEN 24 The next game was played in Beaumont, Texas, October 27th, where the Bulldogs met and defeated the South Park College eleven 19-16. The game was extremely slow. The field was very dusty, the weather warm and many penalties were inflicted. But in spite of the difficulties the Bulldogs carried off the victory. Southwestern again won a brilliant victory over an old opponent when she met and defeated Spring Hill College on Maxim Field in Spring Hill, Alabama, on November 3rd, by a score of 40-7. The game was extremely fast from the begin- ning. The air route was frequently resorted to by both sides, but the Hillians were unable to stop the onrushing tide of red. The tenth day of November forged another link in Southwestern ' s chain of victories. On this day the Bulldogs defeated St. Stanislaus College, 14-0. The game was very slow, due to many penalties inflicted on both sides and to the hot condition of the weather. The next victim of the Bulldogs was a team from Mississippi State Normal, of Hattiesburg, Miss., which played Southwestern on Girard Field, November 17th, and was overwhelmed 66-0. The Normal boys were no match for Coach Mobley ' s team of veterans. On Thanksgiving Day was the big annual game of the season. It is on this day each year that the Bulldogs play the Normal boys. The upstate team came down full of pep and enthusiasm, backed by a loyal crowd of supporters. They, like many others, however, met their Waterloo on that day, for the Bulldogs ' ability to drop the oval between the ears ended the game 14-12 in their favor. The field was very wet and muddy; neither team took the offensive but played for the breaks of the game, which proved to be about evenly divided. Very little passing or broken field running was tried by either side, due to the condition of the field. However, the game was clean all the way through and very few penalties were inflicted. This game finished one of the most successful seasons in Southwestern ' s history. The team of 1923 justly deserve the title Battling Bulldogs. The evidence of scientific coaching was seen throughout the season. This was the best team the ole skule has ever trotted onto a gridiron. The score in points for the season was: Southwestern, 270; Opponents, 107. Southwestern is indebted to Coach Mobley, the man behind the guns, who was responsible for the team ' s success or failure. He has indeed proved himself to be a great coach. Mr. McNaspy, as athletic director, is due much credit for having arranged such an intense schedule, one that was worth fighting to fulfill successfully. True bravery is shown b ) performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world. — La Rochefoucauld.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE Wmw «,„.  . . . :v. x.,,,-, ., • m mi j .lmm BASKETBALL - - 1 924 OUTHWESTERN this year put out not one of the best, but the best cage team she has ever had. The Bulldogs won the Louisiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championship this year for the first time in Southwestern ' s history. The schedule which they followed was not an easy one either, for it included such teams as Tulane and Louisiana State University, Centenary, Louisiana State Normal, and Louisiana College. Teams were played from over two states, Louisiana and Mississippi. But the championship was not all the Bull- dogs won; they also won praise from the spectators everywhere for their good sportsmanship. The Bulldogs played twelve Association games and won ten of them; the two lost were to Centenary College at Shreveport, one being lost on their court and one on Southwestern ' s. For the first time the Bulldogs took four consecutive games from Normal. Never before had they defeated Normal on her own court, but this time they doubled the score on her. They also took four games from Louis- iana College, two on their court and two on her own. The Bulldogs won one and lost one game to Centenary on Southwestern ' s court, and the same resulted in Shreveport, giving Southwestern two games and Centenary two for the season. On the tour which they made to return the games of Normal, Centenary and Louisiana College, the Bulldogs won five of the six games, something that wa s very unusual for any team to do at home, much less on a tour. To Centenary went the honor of winning that one game. On another trip the Bulldogs won four games from Jefferson College, two from Louisiana State University, lost one to Tulane University, won one and lost one to St. Stanislaus College, and lost one to Loyola University. The team work of the Bulldogs was marked by its consistency throughout the entire season; it was very seldom that they let up in their stride. All athletes know that almost any team gets into a rut and probably stays there for days, and this is what Coach Mobley skillfully avoided; by proper training he kept his men on a consistent plateau almost all the season. The passing and the goal shoot- ing of the team as a whole was remarkable. In basketball, as in football, it was Coach Mobley ' s ability as a basketball coach as well as a leader of the boys that enabled Southwestern to put out a cham- pionship team. Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody. — Emerson.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-SEVEN BASEBALL - - 1 924 DIAMOND practice was begun at Southwestern Monday, March 3rd. The prospects for a successful season seem to be ours. The infield of last year is intact with the exception of the loss of Dick Covington; the outfield remains the same except for the absence of Hawkins. From the pitching staff only Menuet is missing. In addition to the old men back on the scene, some good material is expected to develop from the several freshmen who have reported for practice. For the backstop position there is Ex-Captain Sudduth, with Tabor and Key next in line. The pitching staff will include Adams and Bourgeois from the 1923 hurlers, Henry from the 1917 nine, a star left-hander, and Lemmon, who is well known to Southwestern baseball followers. Perkins has first chance at first base, but is expected to have some close compe- tition from Theriot, one of the freshmen stars, as well as Lange, from last year ' s Bulldogs, and Pollard a former Normal man. At second Cambre is again scheduled to be on the job, with Domengeaux as as understudy. Steiner is expected to be back at short, with Bujard as a rival. Captain Dugas will be at third, with Taylor next in line for the hot corner position. In the outfield there will be Richardson, Lovell, and Ruger, all letter men, Ducrest from the 1923 Bulldog Squad, and Mouton of the 1919 Club.

PACE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT l9 LACADIEN 4 TRACK - - 1 924 N MARCH 2nd, Captain Rudolph Bresie led his cinder- path waniors in the first workout of the season. There was a goodly squad out, and the prospects looked good for an- other championship track team, which would be almost too good as we have already won two championships this year: that is, football and basketball. However, no goal seems beyond the pale of Southwestern ' s stalwart athletes. In the last few years athletics have been progressing by leaps and bounds, and we are expecting great things from Little Goat Bresie and his squad. We really have the same team as last year with the exception of Dick Coving- ton, Keener Cagle, Henry Trahan, and Ex-Captain Levois. Dick was our speed man, doing the 100-yard dash in 9 4 5 seconds. Keener put the shot, Levois step- ped the high hurdles, and Henry did the relay. For the 1 00-yard dash this year we have Emmet Breaux and Tut Richard- son. Tut will be in the high jump also, with Jim Morris. In the 880, 440 and 220-yard dashes we will see Trahan, Toland, Richardson and Breaux; on the pole vault we expect Brooks Forrester to hold his own, and the high hurdles will be run by Wagner Ruger. Tut Richardson will try to set another record in the broad jump; Meaux will be there tryin g to break his own record in the low hurdles. In the shot put and discus throw Cecil Lovell will be our representative, while in the mile and relay races we will have Toland, Richardson, Breaux, Meaux and Ruger. Besides the old men there is a wealth of good looking material in the freshmen squad, and from them we expect some stars to develop, as Southwestern has the same rep in the development of track stars as Los Angeles has in developing movie stars.

Athletics is made so attractive that it is hardly necessary to make it compulsory, although each girl is required to make one or two points in athletics. In order to encourage them to take more athletics, the red S is awarded to all girls making eight points. A season ' s work in one sport counts one point. The wearers of the S this year are: Annie Carter, Bertha Louden, Beth Lyman, Jessie Post, Velma Legendre, and Geneva Prater. The purpose of the W. A. A. is to promote wholesome relations in athletics among girls. Practically every girl in school belongs, and when it comes to real sport and good times, the W. A. A. girls have it. One of the most popular events of the year is W. A. A. Stunt Night, when all the organizations on the campus vie with each other in cleverness and originality. Following Stunt Night is the Big Annual Colonial Ball given by W. A. A. for all the girls in school. The beautiful costumes, good orchestra music, special feature dances, and general Colonial atmos- phere are especially memorable. All agree that W. A. A. is the best all-round organization on the campus, and every girl ' s heart fills with pride when you say, Three Cheers for W. A. A. All members of W. A. A. belong to at least one of the following: Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, Volleyball, Hiking, Swimming, Folk Dancing or Aesthetic Dancing. Southwestern has this year completed the prettiest girls ' athletic grounds in the state. The tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts are perfect, with a lovely cypress grove as a background.

Recollections that Bring Affection (By Wang) IFE here at Southwestern consists of getting up one darn morning after another with many added features. Getting up on time ranks with passing in chemistry as the most difficult task. Those of us who have learned to dress in nothing flat can always manage to get our coffee and, before going to those popular eight o ' clock classes. Can you answer this? Was there anyone ever on time for breakfast? If so, how can you prove it? The past year has been one of great development for the Institution because of the splendid faculty, the annexing of athletic championships, etc. Have you had your peanut butter weekly? The height of efficiency was reached in March 1924 when folks began posting notices on the Canteen door instead of on the bulletin boards in Martin Hall. They were posted there because they concerned the boys. The boys were there because — ! !

' Von all wouldn ' t think of studying, would you? Nothing like that, eh? Hope we ' re not bothering you. What you studying, anyway? Chemistry? Ah! Dr. Feusse ' s; a bird and a big one at that. I bet he fails nine tenths of the class. I can ' t under- stand what he ' s driving at; he talks over my head. I guess it ' s ' cause he ' s so tall. Do you know what he said about me? He said I sat and vegetated — that I looked pleasant and let everything slideby. Well, I should worry. I might have known I couldn ' t pass Chemistry under that man. You know, he ' s got a crush on Lize Kitchell. Why, he just conducts the class for her. To-day he stopped all of a sudden and said, Miss Kitchell, do you see that? It didn ' t make any difference whether we saw it or not. Shucks, I ' m not going to study that mess. I know I can ' t pass it, so I ' m going to put my valuable time on making my dress for the colonial ball. Oh! yes, that ' s next Saturday, isn ' t it? We surely had a grand time last year. Beth got the prize for being the best dressed. I ' m not surprised because she ' s just darling. I know we ' re going to have a wonderful time, but just wait until next Satur- day. Just imagine! Dancing with real honest to goodness men. Hot dog! That ' s when we ' re going to have fun. Who are you asking? I wanted to ask Fatty Adams, but Ouida ' s taking him. I was so disappointed! Say, did you know Harry Thomas was going with Alice Sims? I wonder what ' s the matter with Jessie Mae. Well, you know Sentimental Harry. I ' m surprised that Gladys isn ' t going with Ralph. That ' s a case! You should see them in the library. Every afternoon, about five o ' clock, he drops in accidently — on purpose.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-SEVEN 2;LACADIENi 4 A Freshie ' s First Letter Home (By Mabel Lervis) DEAREST MAMA : - No. 6 was about thirty minutes late, but we got here alright. Their was a man on the train that carried my grippe for me. You said to look out for good lookin ' young men, but he wasn ' t realy good lookin ' ' cept his hare and eyes were pretty and he had a nice mouth. I knew you wouldn ' t mind him ' cause he was nice and typed his hat and said he wish he was goin ' to Southwestern. I said, Yes, I wish so too — because I had to be pollite. We ate dinner at the De Lux restaurant ' cause their were some old girls on the train and they said I ' d better eat while I could because I wouldn ' t be abel too after I had eaten several meels at the Mess Hall, but I believe they were jokin ' , but the girl that said that was Selma Levy and you never can tell whether she ' s tellin ' the truth or not. They call her wittie person so I gess that ' s why. After we got thru eating dinner we walked around town for a while but I told ' em I was thirsty but realy those knew brown shoes of mine were rubing a blister on my heal and I wanted a chance to rest my feat so we went into Moss ' s farmacy and got some cokes. Selma said Moss ' s farmacy was where all the institoot kids went when they were thirsty and only had a knickle. We met lots of cute boys up town but I thought Beanie Rugger was the best lookin ' one of them all, but Harris Thomas is very sheekish lookin ' (sheekish means he knows oil about girls). We met a lot of girls two, but I didn ' t think they were all pretty, allthough Harry seamed to think they were. Lafayette is realy a beautiful city. I was very carefull like you told me to be when I crossed the steat ' cause they drive so fast down here. Their are also lots of horses and buggys which made me feal at home some. We got out to the institoot about 4 o ' clock. T. Mo and Wallis Doogah had allready brought my trunk down and so I unpacked right away. I was very angry at Wallis because he through my trunk down and cracked my hand mirror. I told him I was glad he would have seven years bad luck, but he laughed and said he wasn ' t as superstititues (that looks funny, but I ' m kinder rattled tonite and can ' t spell alltho I have never been troubled with speling before) as some little freshie rite clothes. I gess he was talking about the big, fat girl across the hall because she got me to thump her aple for her altho she didn ' t offer ma a bight but I didn ' t care because I had lots of them in my trunk anyway. All the girls around here seam to be jealos of me because I told them I was borne and rased in the same town with Tut Richardson. They didn ' t seem to believe me so I showed them that picture in my memory book of our school when I was in the third grade, and Tut was in the sixth. They didn ' t seam to believe that it was Tut, but I told they didn ' t realize how fast people changed and just because Tut was puny in that picture and had freckels and white hare and had on short pants, that was no sine it wasn ' t him. One of my roomates of from Missoury. Can you imagine a worser calamity than thet? She is a proffessor ' s neice tho ' , so I gess I ' ll be nice to her because he mite teach me something. I offered her some of my vilet perfume but she said, I have my own perfume, thank you. I gess she ' s a little tired after her long journey but as I have said before, I gess I ' ll be nice to her. She ' s a Junior. We went to supper at the Mess Hall at 5:30 ' cause at was Sunday. We had a good supper but Selma said we usually have crackers and chease on Sunday nites for dinner. I laughed ' cause who ever heard of eatin ' dinner in the evening. While we were eating supper a girl got up on her chair and made us all stand up and give fifteen raws for S. L. I. Tey give ' em just like we do, only they say, hoop, hoop, hooeih, L. S. I., so I got kinder mixed up on the last part but I caught up before they got thru and I don ' t think anybody notised except Selma and she looked kinder funny at me. Facts are stubborn things. — Le Sage. PAGE ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHT l9 LACADIEN 4 They put me at a tabel rite next to Dr. Stephens and I was kinder scared I ' d pick up the rong fork and he ' d notise it, hut lie didn ' t -cam to be lookin ' al me ' cause he was busy talkin ' to his wife and Carro (that ' s his daughter). Sim smiled at me tonite. I gess she took me for one of the old girls on account of me being so big for my age. I haven ' t told anybody how old I am, and 1 can ' t help it if they think I ' m twenty, can I? I saw Miss Hayes tonite. She is hed of all the girls. She smiled at me and acted like she wanted me to come up and talk to her, but I didn ' t because of the girls allready being jelos of me over knowing Tut and I didn ' t want to carry it to far and become u n poplar. Everybody is talkin ' about the first foot ball game. Kakie Lyman said all the Freshies have to wear red and white skull caps and dress in green. She mite have been jokin ' but she don ' t usualy joke. She made me get her a drink of water tonite, but I didn ' t mind. Their is the first blinck of the lites, Kakie says that meens get redy for hed. so 1 must stop. You can send me some money if you want too because I only had $2.68 left after I bought my ticket, and dinner at the De Lux and, of course, I paid for the cokes at Mosses farmacy because I was the one invited them in on account of my sore heal. I must get in bed now because I hear Kakie coming and she mite want me to do somthing for her and I ' ll play like I ' m asleep. Write soon, Youre loving daughter, MABEL. P. S. — Did I leave any of those pictures of me at home that I took in my graduation dress? Ralph Tabor wants a picture of me. A Senior ' s Advice on How to Spear A ' s 1. Get a front seat. 2. Ask every question which occurs to you. 3. Drive all your points home with well selected gestures. 4. Leave the room to fill your pen every other day; it shows you are taking reams of notes. 5. Discuss nice points of the subject with the Prof, after every class. 6. Visit the Profs, in their offices on the slightest provocation. 7. Above all, agree with everything they believe. 8. A little work might be well, (but why make mountains out of mole hills?) FROM A FRESHMAN CHEMISTRY STUDENT Dear Dad:- Allow me to inform you that you have in Lafayette what is rightly termed aqua pura. Here, at Southwestern, they scoop up from the depths a queer-tasting, funny- looking fluid, which is flatteringly called drinking water. As it comes from the faucets, it is a dark brown, wet substance, too thick for fountain pen use, and too thin for house paint. On that account, I suppose, it is used only for laundry purposes, and to remove portions of Mother Earth from suffering humanity. If the Biblical river Jordan was as bad as the water here when Naaman took his famous leprosy cure, he could hardly be blamed for hesitation on the brink. Your thirsty son, DICK TAYLOR Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain. — SCHILLER. PAGE. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE Helpful Hints to Housewives Plain olive bottles may be converted into lovely vases. A lavatory makes a very convenient punch bowl. The silver chest may be replenished by using shoe horns as spoons, rulers as knives, and nail flies as olive forks. Dishes for a luncheon may be easily obtained by substituting powder boxes for desserts dishes, box tops for plates, pin trays for sandwich trays, peanut butter jars for chocolate. A bed post makes a very safe place in which to deposit the family jewels. Chewing gum makes excellent sealing wax. If you once use a slipper for a hammer, you will never be contented to use any- thing else. Books are better than nut-crackers for cracking nuts. All the above have been proven successful by dormitory girls. Dr. Bolyard — This is the worst recitation I ' ve ever heard. I have done most of it myself. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Max Landry (after the basketball game) — What is the matter, Bab? Bab — Jim made my floating ribs land. Teacher — Jimmie, do you know anything that is worse off than a giraffe with a stiff neck? Jimmie — Yes ' um, a centipede with corns. Miss Stodghill, in music class — What is a scale? Daisy Ward — A scale is a freckle on a fish. After the game is over, After the field is clear, Straighten my nose and shoulder, Help me find my ear. Dan Winters — The German marks are very low. Sellers — They ' re no lower than mine. Tut (discussing the Centenary game) — And when I grabbed No. 36 around the leg, I thought I had him around the waist. Conductor — Your fare, Miss. Inez V. — Really, do you think so? Mr. Hamilton — Give me for one year the number of tons of coal shipped out of the United States. Bright Student — 1492: none. Mother Foules to a Freshie in the Dormitory — Did you sweep under the bed? Freshie — Yes, ma ' m. I sweep everything under the bed. Little Bresie — Have you any bow tie to match my eyes?

PAGE ONE HUNDRED SIXTY PAGE ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE THE VALUE OF EDUCATION The man or woman of education always stands out from the crowd. In business, in society, KNOWLEDGE, or lack of it, quickly determines your place. The big places in all walks of life go to the men and women of ideas, those who are able to think constructively. Sound education greatly increases one ' s capacity for thinking. It is estimated that a common school education makes your life worth three and eight-tenths times as much to the world as though you had no education. If you have a high school education, your life is worth twenty-three times as much as if you had only a common school education and eighty-seven times as much as if you had no education. If you have a college education, your life is worth nine and one-third times as much as if you had only a high school education; two hundred and fifteen times as much as if you had only a common school education ; and eight hundred and seventeen times as much as if you had no education. Money is a valuable aid in procuring an education, and the safest place for keeping money is in a good bank.
