R.Mobley Varsity Squad Coach HE football season of 1926 has ended. And once again the honor of our Alma Mater has been up- held. In spite of the fact that Cagle, the Red Grange of the South, who consistently led the Bulldogs to victory during the 1925 season, was play- ing with the army this year, the Bulldog team emerged with six victories, three defeats and one tie. To Coaches Mobley, Brown and Aillet, may justly go the lion ' s share of the credit for developing out of a bunch of inexperienced sophomores, a group of fighting Bulldogs to take the place of those four- teen seniors who played their last game with the closing of the 1925 season; and to Captain Theriot, the man who so ably succeeded Red Cagle as leader of the Bulldogs, may next go the greatest amount of glory for leading Coach Mobley ' s fighting aggregation through such a successful season. The first Monday in September found thirty- five Bulldogs being whipped into shape, and on September 25 after three weeks of intensive train- ing, Southwestern met and defeated Mississippi Nor- mal to the tune of 33 to 6. The next Saturday, October 2, saw the Bulldogs being led into the Tiger lair where they emerged on the short end of a 34 to 0 score. The following Saturday, October 9, saw the breaks again against the Bulldogs; for the Mill- FfesL sTuad  p Majors beat us 1 2 to 0. In the week following October 9 the Southwestern student body and football team decided that they would dedicate their new field with a victory, and since the strong Sam Houston State Teachers ' aggregation was next on the schedule, the Bulldogs team encountered its attack with great ferocity, and emerged with a 1 5 to 0 victory. On October 23 the Bulldog team, still not wishing to violate the will of its student body trounced the South Park College team by a 1 9 to 0 score. For the next week. Coach Mobley drove our team hard in preparation for the Louisiana College game, and October 30 found the Bulldogs waiting to prove that they had profited by the terrific drive. In spite of the fact that Coach Waldon wagered student Asst. to beat the Bulldog team as soon as Cagle was gone, the final whistle found a 33 to 7 score chalked up against the Louisiana College Team. Cheer Leaders FONTENOT ALLEN HARRELL November 5 found the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs in the South- western Bulldogs ' back yard, when the Tech Bulldogs proved by a 23 to 0 score that they were the better dogs. And incidentally this game marked the first defeat of the Southwestern Bulldogs on their new field. The Bulldogs could be beaten but could not be kept down; and on November 12 they trounced the Austin State Teachers ' College by a 33 to 0 score. Captain Theriot made these boys think that they were up against another Cagle. This again did not seem to put the Bulldogs in a winning mood, for they journeyed to Alexandria on November 1 8 and were held to a scoreless tie by the Louisiana State Normal. The Demons can be thankful that they caught the Bulldogs on their off-day. On this eventful day, November 25, in the game which marked the closing of the 1926 season, all the experiences that the Bulldogs had gained in the past nine games, together with the advice from the untiring and unbeatable coaching staff bore fruit and before a crowd of approximately thirty-five hundred people, the Bulldogs beat the strong Mississippi College Team by a score of 20 to 16. It was by far the most thrilling game of the season, Game Captain Clifton Theriot Captain-Elect Gladu Dupuii the police force almost being called upon to use forceful means to keep the spectators from the playing field. Captain Theriot, Abramson, Courmier, Tabor, Adams, Hockey, Dupuis and others proved to the world that the Bulldogs had that unbeatable spirit of comeback, when in the last eight minutes of play, they marched from a 1 6 to 6 defeat to a 20 to 16 victory. Thus the curtain fell on a successful football season; and although the Bulldog squad will suffer from the loss of those men who defended their Alma Mater ' s honor for the last time, we feel sure that the incoming seniors, Juniors and sophomores will be fully capable of stepping into their shoes and carrying on the honor of Southwestern.

FOOTBALL LETTER MEN BASKETBALL Basketball Season of 1926 - 1927 HE question Are good, big men better than good, little men in basket ball? was definitely settled for Southwestern during our 1927 cam- paign. The Bulldogs were outreached by every team they met and their opponents turned size into points. This is not an excuse for losing games but a simple statement which will be readily understood by athletic savants. Height is no special advantage in marbles; but in basketball it means games in the won column. The Bulldogs began the season with three victories over the aged Lafayette Collegians and kept up their streak against the younger Y. M. C. A. team from Baton Rouge. The form showed by the varsity in these games raised the hopes among Southwestern followers that another real champion contender had been developed. However the varsity swung north for a five game invasion and returned after splitting two games with Normal at Natchitoches, losing two more to Louisiana Polytechnic Institute at Ruston, and the final contest to Centenary. With but a day ' s rest Southwestern met at home, an assault of Normal Demons and succumbed to a better brand of basketball. A week later Louisiana College came down to Lafayette with the intention of taking two games but the Bulldogs played inspired ball and beat the Wildcats, the second night, by a 34-14 score. The Wild Cats nevertheless, took both games on its own court a few days later. In the last two games against L. S. U. at Baton Rouge, Southwestern had to bow to a heavy team. These games brought the total to seventeen with six victories and eleven defeats. Southwestern has something to look forward to in basketball because it has at last a group of sophomore stars with several real freshmen performers coming up next year. The seniors on this year ' s team will, of course, be missed; the last of the four year men. We lose through graduation the following men : Captain Roy Broussard, Clifton Theriot, Clinton Hanchey, and Ben Hockey. Captain-Elect Levi Jordan Captain Roy Broussard FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM BASEBALL  mmm Baseball 1927 N March 1 , a call was issued for baseball candi- dates for 1927. About thirty-five men answered the call by appearing at the field house for uni- forms that had been pulled down off the shelf, where they had been tucked away since Earl Adams, Tom Cambre, Bob Steiner and others told us good-bye last year. In a few minutes Girard Field was a working mass of ball tossing, base running, fielding; and that terrific crack that is music to the ball players ' ears, seemed to fill the air. 1927 hopes for Southwestern seem to center around the letter men from the ' 25 squad— Captain-Elect Foley, Adams, Willis, Tabor and Sanders. Yet quite a bit is expected from the sopho- mores—Thomas, Holloway, Deshotels, Hebert, Colgin, Haines and McCall. Theriot and Crocker have returned to school to bolster up the ole nine. Theriot, the new find as a pitcher, is also one of the club ' s hitters, and after more cracking and a little more experi- ence, should prove a consistent winning mate, with our mainstay, Holloway, on the mound. Crocker is our flashy first-sacker and holds his own when it comes to smacking the ' ole ' app le. Capt. Foley Thomas, the sturdy little receiver from Plaquemine, will be found doing his stuff behind the plate, with Haines as an able as- sistant. Thomas should also be right up among the leading hitters. The pitching staff of Holloway, Theriot, Willis, McCall and Sanders, should prove a winning one. Holloway, a Soph, but a finished pitcher, is expected to carry the heavy load and there isn ' t any doubt that Jim can do it, being so ably assisted. Crocker will be on first; Deshotels and Specs Terrel are having a fight for the second base berth; Charlie Hebert will be on short. Charlie hails from Houma and is rated the best short- stop in years, at Southwestern; he is a Soph also. Foley, captain, will play third base. Foley is a Junior in the college and is playing his second year on the varsity. In the outfield we will find Colgin, Tabor, a senior and a hard hitter, and Emory Adams, also a senior and, like Tabor, a natural hitter. Theriot also plays the outfield when not pitching. Lionel Berry is available for duty also. Southwestern should romp away to a successful season in baseball with such prospects as are out for the varsity. Coach Mobley and Captain Foley are banking heartily on the squad to come through with a majority of the games on the schedule. If they do, such teams as Louisiana Tech, Springhill and Normal will have to be beaten. FRESHMAN BASEBALL TEAM Baseball Schedule Season 1927 March 25 . Louisiana State University . Baton Rouge, La.

Track Season 1927 OUTHWESTERN proved her supremacy on the cinder path by winning both sections of the Southern Amateur Athletic Union track and field meet, held at Southwestern Stadium last May. The Southwestern cinder men defeated teams from the larger colleges and universities of this section. Boggs gained for himself everlasting glory by win- ning the 100-yard dash against such opponents as J. Y. Gilmore and other sprint stars of the South. The Southwestern mile relay team, composed of Arthur Bresie, Rudolph Bresie, Gill, Lake Charles High School, and Miller, established a new record for this event. All of the entrants for the Southwestern Athletic Club gave a good account of themselves. In the 3 mile race, Clovis Sonnier of Scott High School defeated many more ex- perienced runners in his first attempt at that distance. This decisive victory spread the name of Southwestern all over the South, and many of the names of her athletes were placed on the record books of Southern track data. Many of those men that served Southwestern on the cinder path are now gone but their names and accomplishments will not be forgotten. The 1927 track team will go on the field made up mostly of Sophomores and will be minus such stars as the Bresie Brothers, Miller, and many others; but men like Boggs, White, record holder for the S. A. A. U. high jump, Courmier, Brcussard, Morris, Brand, Jordan, Captain Potter, and Aucoin should carry the banner of ole Southwestern to everlasting glory on the track. Southwestern is attempting one of the hardest schedules ever attempted by a Southwestern team and will without a doubt hold its own against any team that it may meet before the end of the session and is out to repeat her A. A. U. performance by winning again this year. Track Schedule Season 1927 April 2 . Southwestern Relay Carnival Lafayette, La. April 23 . Louisiana State University . . Baton Rouge, La. April 23 . . .

It was organized in 1922, under the auspices of Mrs. Wilmot Dalferes. In the five years of its existence it has shown remark- able strides of success and accomplishment. The year 1922 marks not only the founding of an organization for girls interested in athletics, but also the founding of some of the most important and enthusiastic events conducted on the campus. The first of these is Stunt Night. This event consists of a series of stunts presented by the leading organizations of Southwestern. To the organization that presents the most original stunt, in the decision of the judges, is awarded the prize. The average number of stunts presented is fifteen. The proceeds of Stunt Night are used to finance the leading social event for girls, the Colonial Ball. This ball is held the Saturday before George Washington ' s birthday. lit is essentia! that all girls costume in order to take part in the festivity. The W. A.A. Board dances the Minuet, and the Beginners ' Dancing Class gives a representative dance of the Colonial period. Six prizes are given to the following: The most appropriately dressed girl and man ; the best dancers of the old fashioned waltz ; and the two best dancers of the Minuet. The Women ' s Athletic Association feels very glad to be able to conduct the Colonial Ball, since it affords so much pleasure to those who attend. The real object of the club is not a social one, but to pro- mote and regulate athletics among girls and to achieve a high standard of athletics, good sportsmanship, and fair play. This object is unanimously adopted by all the colleges who belong to the National Association. Southwestern was admitted into the Athletics Conference of American Colleges in 1 924. In accordance with the regulations of this national organization. Southwestern does not compete in inter-collegiate sports for women. In order to be a member of the W.A.A. it is necessary that a girl take at least two hours of sports a week. An athletic S is given to a girl who earns twelve hundred points— this is equal to four hours of sports a week, during a period of two years. After having earned twenty-four hundred points a girl is then awarded an athletic sweater. Any one of these honors may be obtained in a shorter time if the girl is a member of the Board, as she receives additional points. The Executive board in this organization consists of two rep- resentatives from all sports— folk dancing, aesthetic dancing, bas- ketball, baseball, tennis, swimming and hiking. In addition to these, the officers of the organization and the faculty advisers be- come automatically members of the board. Points are given to members of this board, varying from one hundred to fifty, the number being determined by the position held. At the end of the Spring term, the W.A.A. holds its Field Day. On this day there is held the tennis tournament and the baseball match game. To the girl who wins in the tennis tourna- ment is given a tennis racket. This contest is not restricted to members of the Association but is open to all girls interested in tennis. The baseball match is between the freshmen and upper- classmen. Why has the Women ' s Athletic Association been such a success? Because it has adopted as its slogan A Sound Mind in a Sound Body, and to this end does its work.

Scribblers Anna Virginia Mitchell Marion Prieto Spencer Barnett Eugene Kearney Walter Ragan HE Scribblers ' Club sprang into existence at South- western as the result of a strong sentiment among the students for some means by which those students displaying literary merit might be given adequate recognition and encouragement. Admission to mem- bership is by invitation only and is based on literary achievement with due regard to quality of congeniality. Candi- dates are invited into the ranks of the Scribblers. In carrying out their avowed program of developing and uplifting the literature of Southwestern, the Scribblers from time to time offer prizes for the best one-act play, the best poem, or the best short-story written in competition by members of the stu- dent body. At present they are engaged in compiling a book of undergraduate verse which doubtless will be published very soon. Miss Edith G. Dupre is the official faculty adviser of the Scribblers ' Club, and for her tireless efforts to develop the creative spirit at Southwestern, has been honored by the election to Honor- ary Membership in the Scribblers ' Club.

In the Vermilion of the week previous to the appearance of Prometheus, the newly-organized Scribblers ' Club had published a page of literature, challenging the student body to respond to the Southwestern literary renaissance in a productive, as well as ap- preciative, manner. This challenge was the Herculean power that unbound Prometheus, to spread the flames of literary interest on the campus. The first issue was prefaced by a foreword explaining the nature and purpose of the publication. The foreword was fol- lowed by ten or twelve poems, some of which were highly interest- ing. A well-arranged editorial on student government was con- tributed by the editor, after which came a paragraph explaining the nature of the subsequent pages, in which the poetry of the Scrbblers ' Club was burlesqued. This feature proved to be highly amusng, and achieved a great purpose in attracting the attention of students who hitherto had evinced no particular interest in the Thamyrean art. The secret organization that backed the nndertaking syled itself K:G:P:, the invisible journalist who edited Prometheus adopted the pseudonym, s . . . .n. Thus lay the field, engulfed in a fog of deep mystery, and thus lies it still. Many students were suspected on circumstantial evidence. But no one has been able to point a convinced finger at any suspect and say with emphatic certainty, You! The question remains, Who?

We all arrived today in great and quaffing fear. We ' ve heard so very much of just an awful ghoul The students here all term with pride their soul. It is the great Southwestern Spirit of this school, And can be seen in any sort of meeting— oohl! (I ' ve been to several meetings here But still the ghost does not appear.) The campus seems to me no longer new; I f noXr just where to go and what to do. September 17 —Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, How they come rushing in! They push, and call, and schedule And ma e an awful din. I ' ve run a million errands At any becff and call. Some day Til be a Senior And room in Foster Hall! September 2 — Worf( or fail! the profs yell out. Freshie, clean my room! the soph ' mores shout. And we Worff without a doubt, W orf for Seniors, Sophs and Profs! September 24— Pep meetings are the stuff Cause freshies get their chance. We get to yell, and yell, and yell, And are not told Be quiet. September 26 — SZf SU! S.L.I. ! Sli! Slil S.L.I. ! Rah, rah, rah, the Bulldogs won! Southwestern Spirit, grand and free, Filled all Southwestern students there— The Bulldogs fought, and freshies yelled; The crowd went nearly wild with joy. Our fear left when the Spirit came. We Welcome it and hope it slays. September 1 6— October 7— Autumn is here! The Indian announces his harvest with whoops; Girls sport new dresses rvith smiles; But Fred, poor Fred, can he rejoice With boots so nerv, both feet must limp? October 1 5— Southwestern Stadium dedicated! Dedicated by impressive ceremony; Dedicated by Bulldogs ' victory ; Dedicated by students ' cheering. October 19— Mid-term exams this week! I ' m scared as I can be, ' Cause I don ' t want a pink SU P To find its way to me. I know Prof Claycomb sends them out In great and lasting glee; But still I can be thankful Doc Feusse ' s ain ' t for me! October 21— (With apologies to William Shakespeare) To Work or not to work, that is the question; Whether ' tis nobler in the class to suffer The slings and crummings of exacting teachers. Or to start work upon a score of lessons, And by hard study end them. November 6— Hallowe ' en spooks just scared me so I lacked the nerve at once to write. They wandered free of all restraint In the gym of Martin Hall. But then the tale is but half-told, ' Cause in my sleep they haunted me. They warned me not to think of self, But always of Southwestern. I k n ew I ' d missed so many games, Had talked so in assembly, I crossed my fingers then and there For fear that they would get me! And the goblins ' ll get you Ef you don ' t watch out! November 2Q---Cramming is all I l(norv. Cramming is all I see. Cramming is all I hear! Chemistry exam is near. The students seem all int ' rest In lectures and in lab work Hoping that some hint will drop To let them know what ' s coming. November 25— A Spectacular Football Came— The last game; eight minutes more to play; Bulldogs losing; score: 16 to 6— A touchdown! A touchdown! The Bulldogs!! A touchdown!!! The crowd goes most wild in its joy. Touchdown! Touchdown! ! Touchdown!!! The crowd is now mad in its joy. A shot! The game won!! Score: 16 to 20!!!! December 7— A football game for lagniappe— Cagle in the Army Came! Coach returned just like a cock- He has a ball! He ' s been looked at! He ' s seen Red Cagle play!!! December 14— peas be served in the dining hall, Some bright Senior very tall Should announce to the diners every fall How peas that are creamed tho ' very small And cream of pea soup that is rich withal Can be told apart by Freshmen all! December 1 8— We freshies came from icy rooms- Hair done up, shirt tails out, Mismated shoes, umbrellas spread. Initiation ends our duties. Let ' s give it fifteen rah rahs! December 22— Christmas week! Shopping rush is now all over. Town reserves, commanded by telephone orders, Stopped the Annual Foster Battle. All night feasts and vigils Result in this; our first home-going day! January 4— Back into the grind again V acation seems like ancient his ' try. Exams roll around in three more weeks, Then comes the Pink Slip Season. January 5—A lull in the march of events, A general lack of energy noted. The prophets send out this warning: Rest, for activity cometh! January 29— Exams, More exams, Mid-term examinations! Life is now a multitude of fears; Fears of F ' s and fears of E ' s. Drop slips hover everywhere They ' re preferred to pink slips in the mail! Here and there a voice rings out exulting: I came through without once flunking! February 2— Dreams, dreams, dreams, Dreams every night I sleep! One night the Bulldogs beat Normal All games in a series of four; The next Tm acclaimed most beautiful In a contest with candidates three; Another I whirl and spin In the arms of a handsome fraternity man! February 5— Mystery came to an end tonight— - Stunts were made public. Laughter and tears were caused by all; But prizes Were granted to only two. February 8— (With apologies to Eugenie Field) The gingham dogs and the calico cats Met each other in fierce combats. ' Twas half -past nine and (what do you thinly?) The gym Was strewn with gingham pink! The next night there at the hour of eight The Wildcats knew as sure as fate The Bulldogs would tear into shreds ev ' ry cat. I was right there; I simply state What Was truly and surely the Wildcats ' fate. February 1 8— A prof so small, but oh, so wise, Called out his roll to much surprise: Averill, Mar];, Sarah, Grace— He paused for breath, then on he went, Marguerite, Laura, Hilda, Bea—. The bell? How short this period is! In the final analysis, ' twas just a dream, And for breakfast we had only oats and cream! March I — Bo fS and girls tafye turn about: First girls play boys in Colonial Ball, Then boys play girls in Shakespeare play; But which excel, I must not tell. ' T would not be fair to either. March 10— Exams are past, and grades are out! I wish they could be hidden. On every hand one hears remorse— An Oh or Ah and then vehemence— 1 never got such awful grades! Profs console in icy tones: Why don ' t you try some study? March 19— Debating like sports is not measured in scores. But ' tis measured by standard of ideals involved. We ' re proud of your best, whether vict ' ry or loss! Debaters, we ' re with you! Let ' s give fifteen rahs! March 20— We tribute pay where tribute ' s due, We rank you, Scribblers, at the top. Your service rendered means as much As football, singing, or debating! We Welcome you also, Prometheus. Southwestern has need of us all. March 31— Here ' s to Southwestern! May her last college debate Reflect only glory! April 5—Life is now a string of joys— Mid-term ' s over! Profs proclaim: No need for study. Close your boofys! Cramming time will not return Till six wee s hence. April 2 — The Rivals! What does that mean to you To me it hints peals of laughter — Laughter to aid the Stadium Fund! May I— Life is real, Life is earnest; Can ' t one feel the press of it? Prof announce in tones of ice, Three more weel s for that term paper! May 5 — Should the fairies grant me one little wish, I should follow the steps of one other; ' Cause I ' d be a gay Senior On the night of the Senior Dance. May 1 7 — Another event of the season. And yet, I ' m a Freshman here! I hope this time I ' ll be dated And dance at the Junior Prom. May 30— Tomorrow! The day of commencement. And what does it mean to us all? To Freshies it means being Soph ' mores, Or a chance to initiate Freshmen. To Sophomores, who become Juniors, Will be granted the honors in store. To Juniors, our Seniors for next year, It means the leadership conscious and true. But to Seniors it has the most meaning. For to them it means college is o ' er. Life now as£s more giving than getting, And Seniors must answer the call. We ' ll treasure your friendship forever, And wish you the greatest success. May you keep the ideals of Southwestern, And to them be loyal and true! Mizpah. Web ' s Blue Standard, Unabridged Dictionary of Hackneyed Words and Stale Phrases Shirt.

I can thank my lucky stars that I had sense enough in September to tweedle my blinkers at a Barracks ' man. Yes, an inmate of Room (?) was the lucky victim— too bad you couldn ' t have entered before the third term— you might have had a chance to go. No, I ' m not busy, why? Sure, I ' ll tell you about it. It was wonderful! Th e more I tell it, the bigger and better it grows. Tie your hands behind you and promise you won ' t interrupt and I ' ll start. You know, I ' d heard a little wayside gossip about this big social event but not wanting to act too interested, I didn ' t ask any questions. By putting two and two together, I figured out that this so-called blowout was coming off in the near future, so I put in extra practice in my room and perfected a system for brown eyes. George was the first ; I had him going, but another girl fell desperately for him, so rather than disappoint her, I dropped him. Sonny Lewis— who ' s he?— he ' s the one they call Dog, was the next to fall flat — well he ' s so self-centered I soon severed all relationship. Some say he ' ll never be the same again, but it doesn ' t pay to be too chicken-hearted. Then came a Monte fellow — I believe his name was Monte Blue — but he gave me on the second day of my rushing, a piece of chewing gum that didn ' t keep its flavor no longer ' n for me to get out of his sight, and I made up my mind then that I wanted a real he-man for an escort in this here coming social holdup, so I dropped him. They say he ' s as much as his name expresses, now. But. a lot I accomplished for in the end, a handsome young blood, who had escaped unnoticed by my human eye, asked me to honor him as his date. Anyway it shows that I had made some impression. The way our invitations were issued was so cute. I really never before had given a male brain the credit for such an unique idea. Miss Nora, our Dean of Women, called a special meeting of some names which she read out in assembly, and this was the invite. W as I surprised ? You bet, ' cause I never was expecting to be called. After our spirits had been lessened by a tap of her pencil she told us of the coming event and that she wanted to urge us all to go— the roll would be called that night and those not present would have to get an excuse or it would be counted a double cut. And anyone leaving before 2 a.m. would be brought before the Discipline Committee, as they wanted to do away with this impoliteness of leaving before a party was over. She explained that these harsh steps were being taken because the students were lacking in pep and social enthusiasm, and as a result Southwestern was losing all her popularity and social status. Wednesday night came! Of course, we had it in the middle of the week- Miss Nora said that from Monday to Saturday was like a funeral and she wanted to break the monotony of things, so she had insisted that Wednesday was the proper evening. Romeo was prompt for once— 8:30. It didn ' t take us but twenty minutes to get there, as you know, it is just across the board walk from Foster, where I stay. As we stepped upon their spanning porch, such a sight as I did behold! Everything was decorated so highly you felt like you ' d dropped down in the midst of the Prince of Wales ' wedding. The predominating colors were black and blue (they said they chose these because there was so much sentiment attached to them). The Honorables Norton and Browne composed the committee on receiving. A pretty pair they made too! After a healthy swing of the arm with them, I passed on to be greeted by those at home and their dates. Who was there? Why girl, the cream of the campus? You know those who run with me— Deacon and Ras, B and Hoss, (and I hear the next day at the frat house, a bottle of iodine was found in E.C. ' s room). There was Mac and Hilda, Sanders and that cheerleader, Jack and Jill, Mr. Broussard and Miss Arceneaux, Irene and her Shiel, Siadous and Peggy, Walter and Marion, and by the way, there ' s beginning to be talk about these two. They ' ve dated three times now. Some others were John S. and Maxine, Tuttle and Edith Post, Sam and his Lily, Hotard and DeCote (eighth cousin to Coty ' s perfume), and too, Boggs, the perfect athlete, and Dot— another case that is developing real seriously; he walked home from the library with her one night, and you know what those library dates are. Hum—. Oh, there were gobs of people there, but at present I disremember them all. The evening was spent in quite an up-to-date manner. A thirty-four piece jazz orchestra from Missouri was stationed at one end of the spacious veranda. Dancers could operate at their like or dislike. One room was dedicated entirely to domino enthusiasts; another to bridge bugs. The saloon was the popular den of the evening. In here you could get refreshments— teas and ices of all makes, fluffy little tea cakes, candy and gum. Room 18 was decorated appropriately for Bean Bag Busters and I think it was Bob Doland, among the young gentlemen, and Ruth Harris, among the young ladies, who broke the world ' s record in this game. I got such a kick in Room 3, the Blooey Booth, that I spent most of my time there— up to the serving of eats. My luck wasn ' t so good but Romeo had a pull with the gentlemen in charge and I came home with one blue china vase, a desperate looking alabaster bulldog, a paper of pins, and two boxes of candy to the good. I tried to get in Room 1 3, but it was so crowded that I finally gave up hopes of hav- ing a turn at the cubes. I believe it was Room 15 that was the picture gallery, but anyway, that was some noble layout. It was a photo gallery of all the promi- nent people at Southwestern. Between you and me and the gate post, I ' m glad they thought of that. I came home with nine gentlemen friends ' pictures, that I ' d about given up all hopes of ever getting. Maud Trappey ' s picture was there with quite a stcratch of sentiment penned in one corner and I just wonder who she ' s sweet on? What? ' Course I ' m not curious, but if I ' d been the leastways inclined that way, I ' d have had enough to agitate my lip for many a day. All the other rooms were decorated to carry out some scheme of thought and diversion, but I won ' t go into detail about them now. About 12:30, it was announced that luncheon would be served at the north- east end of the veranda. As we passed in they gave each of us a cunning paper hat. This was such a darling idea. Tabies for four were set. Romeo and I sat at the same table with Irma Spillman and Cooley, a delightful couple. Gee! you should have seen the silver piled up on the table. I counted out and found I knew what six of the spoons, three knives, and four forks were for, but the rest were beyond me. Oscar, who is chief dietitian for the college mess hall, was in charge of the lunch- eon part, so you know that we had s ome eats. The waiters were dressed in black and blue uniforms, but I do think a delicate brown would have looked better on the shine that had our table. But, you know to carry out the color scheme, they couldn ' t be partial to one individual. But what did we have to eat? Well— I ' m not con- cerned as much with their names as how they tasted, but I ' ll start from the first and give you as much as I remember : Fruit Cocktail in Orange Cups, Bean Soup a la Mess Hall, Hors d ' Oeuvre, Celery, Olives, Grape Fruit Cocktail, Turtle Soup, Chicken a la King, New Buttered Potatoes, June Peas, Petit Pois Poysonne, Louisiana Baked Ham, Spaghetti de Burn, Deviled Eggs, Brisbane Salad, S.L.I. Baked Tomatoes, Salad de Legumes— (give me strength!)— Couleurs Black and Blue, Iced Tea, Grape Juice, Root Beer, Milk, Cake, Ice Cream, Shortcake a la Strawberries, Demi Tasse, and Finger Bowls. There! If I left some out, don ' t blame me. I got through the lunch as well as anybody else did— toward the last I had to use one of Romeo ' s spoons, but that was the greatest difficulty I had. During the toasts, blowoffs, songs, etc., we threw confetti and the like. It surely did stick at times too. The favors took the cake though. They were horns, whistles, music boxes, little drums, and mouth organs, all bearing the inscription Barracks Blowout in gold letters. Each lady friend present also received a white gold bracelet and a string of La ' Tosca pearls. After the party was over, the most of us got home safely. It was a swanky affair and it proved its distinction of being the biggest and best social event of the year on the campus. It was right down H O T— ! What?— Did they call the roll? Naw, didn ' t have too. Every invited girl felt it her Christian duty toward her school to be there and not a single ole sister failed to turn out to the noted BARRACKS ' BLOWOUT. 1 How many times have we heard: In the final analysis— and on they went. Allons, allons! Children. Class! Class! This will never do. And all that sort of thing. Class fall in. Right dress! Newman Club meets tonight at 6:30. And we ' ll call it done at that. There ' ll be a ver-ry important meet- ing of the Vermilion Staff immedi- ately after assembly. I won ' t keep you the whole hour to- day. And I said, ' Southwestern is the best college in North America. ' I ' d like to see the following girls in my office some time today. Everybody up! Fifteen strong ones for the Bulldogs. A Typical Block (With apologies to Bobbie Burns) My head is life a great big block So square it is in size. My head is harder than a rock, That ' s hit a thousand guys. Unwise thou art, my noodle dear, So dumb in class am I ; And it is you the cause, I jear. To let such things go by. It rvas in History class, dear block I nearly pulled your hair. You said that Doc, in a summer frock, Had crossed the Delaware. So fare-thee-rvell, my bonnie lass Be brave and do not cry; Thou art the dumbest in the class, So off you 11 go, good-bye. Bright Lights (With apologies to Vesta and Hubert) C. J. McNaspy, Jr., who is finished student in Astronomy, was explaining in detail to his father and sister, Mary Agnes, some interesting facts concerning certain heavenly bodies. He selected a particular star called Vesta and proceeded to relate how the Arabians used it as a means to test the eyesight of soldiers. He went on to say that near to Vesta was another star and if a person could see it, he was said to have keen vision, if not he was said to have average vision. Mr. Mac then asked the name of the other star. Mary Agnes, seeing the perplexed expres- sion on her brother ' s face, and eager to make her contribution to the science, added, It must be Bourgeois. ADVERTISEMENT And He Wondered Why He was a Social and Business Failure JOHN SMITH, Pd. Q., had no high school education, but he had received his business training from one of the most successful commercial colleges in the country. Theoretically, he was prepared for the top-lights, but as a matter of cruel fact Smith never rose above his salary of $10 a month, as bookeeper for the Animated Ditchdiggers, Localized. Socially, he was ostracized. And yet, Smith wasn ' t such a bad egg; he was free from pyorrhea, halitosis, and defective vision, and he even used Stacomb and Gloco in moderation. What was the trouble with him? Jones, his employer, knew. But would Jones risk telling Smith he had a wart back of his left ear? Not as long as Jones considered himself slightly inferior in muscular strength to his employee. You, yourself, rarely know when you have wartosis (subjectively-imperceptible warts.) That ' s the insiduous thing about it. And even your closest friends will not tell you. Sometimes, of course, wartosis comes from some deep- seated organic disorder that requires professional advice. But usually — and fortunately — wartosis is only a condition of bad habit that yields to the use of our Especially Pure Hydrogen Fluoride. The treatment consists in bathing the ear in our 100% solution until something happens. If your case proves particularly bad perhaps you should risk our 102% solution. Killemoff Kwick Kemistry Kompany A CHALLENGE We ' ll maf(e a wager with you that if you try one application of our Wartosis you won ' t be able to come back f or more.
