I I I I i SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA INSTITUTE LAFAYETTE. LOUISIANA I I SOUTHWESTMI Southwestern was established in 1898, and its first session began on September 18, 1901. The establishment was brought about by State Senator Robert Martin, and the first land was donated by Mr. Crow Girard and his mother. The first buildings erected were Foster Hall, Martin Hall and a few shop buildings. The primary purpose in founding the Insti- tute was to provide the stimulus for state assistance to the development of education in the south and southwestern sections of Louisiana. In 1915 the College of Education was desic_ noted by the State Department of Educatiq . This was followed by the College of Liberal Arts. By 1938 the Departments of Agriculture and Home Economics were detached fronli PRESEmSli.. the other two colleges and organized into the College of Agriculture. In 1940 the College of Engineering was established. The main campus of the Institute consists 132 acres, most of which are in the limits of Lafayette. South of the campus is the Whit- •tington Farm of 525 acres, and the Dairy Farm of 125 acres. Since the erection of the original buildings, appropriations have been made by the legis- lature for the erection of the president ' s home IIS iiU in 1908, which was rebuilt in 1940, DeClouet Hall in 1904, Brown Ayres in 1909, Girard Hall in 1922, Science Hall in 1925, Buchanan and Judice Halls in 1927, and O. K. Allen Cafe- jteria in 1935. By 1940 Harris Hall, ' Evangeline Hall, the women ' s and men ' s gymnasiums, the student cen- ter, Mouton Hall, Stephens Memorial Library, McNaspy stadium. Saucier I Infirmary, Parker Hall, Burke Hall, I and F. M. Hamilton Training School has been erected. In 1949, three girls ' dormitories were erected; Lady Baker, Emily Huger and Beverly Randolph. VIEWS OUR PRESIDENT at A MESSAGE TO THE STUDENT BODY In this issue of L ' Acadien are reviewed many of the activities in which you, the students of Southwestern, have engaged during the academic year now ending. The administration and faculty are sincerely hopeful that the record may serve for many future years to vivify, by print and picture, the experiences which all college men and women cherish in retrospect. We offer our greetings and congratulations to the Senior Class of 1950 who are the editors of this volume. Sincerely, SOUTHWESTERN JOEL LAFAYETTE FLETCHER, B.S., M.S., D.S.C., L.L.D.

GERALD BERNARD TALBOT Florien Napoleonville o lie t 4 ' iri ' - c ' ! , 1, jfi With the theme A Pretty Girl is like a Melody , the SLI concert orchestra and mixed chorus presented a very colorful and gay pageant before a crowd of approximately 10,000 in the newly dedicated Stafford Blackham Coliseum. Ballet scenes, modern dance patterns, and choral singing bound the selections into a compact bundle of entertainment. Selections v ere taken from Romberg ' s The Student Prince and New Moon , Lehan ' s Gold and Silver Waltz , Kern ' s Showboat and Tchaikowsky ' s Nutcracker Suite . The outstanding voices of Marilyn Nugent, Mary Ann White, Patricia Pill, Dan Peck, Alfred Marks, Ralph Rice, Ruth Taylor, Beverly Talbot, Janet Deboval, and Wayne Smith added to the beauty of the music. Grace Kloor and other dancers pro- vided the evenings dancing entertainment. To close the gayly beauty of the pageant, Miss Beverly Moncla was crowned queen with a crown of various colored Camellias by Judge Arthur W. Solomon, President of the American Camellia Society. Maids of Honor to Miss Moncla are Misses Julia Daigle, and Lois Riley. Other members of the court are Misses Lois Allen, Jacqueline Bourg, Donne Cochran, Ravera Fa-Kouri, Evelyn Lee and Dorthy Wilkes. Miss Moncla receives her crown of camellias from Judge A. W. Solomon To round out the 1949 Football season the Bulldogs played host to the Northwestern Demons for the Homecoming game. After a set back of 14-0 in the first quarter, the Bulldogs came back to win 27-14 in a brilliant array of running and passing. At half time the crowd was entertained by the SLl Band, the crack Drill Team of the AROTC commanded by Captain Leon C. Vial III and the presentation of Queen Jeanette Mc- Nabb and her court escorted by the members of the Air Honor Society. Pre-game ceremonies included the Bonfire, burning of the Demon, parade plus the fresh- man snake dance and the judging of the Home- coming floats, which was won by the Theta Xi fraternity for the second straight year. Daisy Mae and L ' Abner — Jane Harris and Cecil Griffith DSD ' SADIE s HAWKINS DANCE The annual Sadie Hawkins Day celebration was originated on the campus by Delta Sigma Delta sorority. On this specific day the DSD girls wear their hair in pig- tails, don their colors, blue and white, and sell tickets to the female students for the dance held in honor of the well-known comic strip character. They decorate the gym with familiar scenes of Dogpatch, and generally enhance backwoods atmosphere. Corsages are sold to the girls bringing dates and measurements are taken of the girls for the tiniest waist and of the boys for the largest expanded chest. Prizes are presented to the winners in each event. The highlight of the dance is the traditional race, at which time the Daisy Maes put up a hard fight to get their men. Through a committee headed by- Mark Munn, the Student Council ob- tained Tommy Dorsey and his Orches- tra for a three hour concert and dance. This year the dance was held in the fall so that another name band may be obtained in the spring.

In its second year of operation, a year that was to see a cold war turn hot, the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps of Southwestern Louisiana Institute graduated its first class of commissioned officers. For the most part, this class was composed of combat veterans of World War II, weary of conflict but cognizant of the dangers of un- preparedness. As second lieutenants in the United States Air Force Reserve, most of these men planned to apply for a short (30 to 90 days) tour of active duty and then resume their normal civilian activities. In a statement prepared for inclusion in this book, General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Chief of Staff, United States Air Force, under- scored the necessity of the Air Force ROTC program: Today the safety of ovir country de- mands that we maintain strong armed forces, trained to the highest efficiency and organ- ized to permit ready expansion. Executive officer Major Horley N. Cox, who hails from Phoenix, Arizona, is the able man-behind-the- scenes of the air science department. If the Air Force, as a member of the defense team, is to be prepared for any possible emergency, outstanding young men must be commissioned each year in its several components, both active and reserve. We rely upon the Air Force ROTC Program to provide a large majority of those officers. The unit at Southwestern Louisiana Institute is an important part of that program . On behalf of the USAF, I extend best wishes for continued success. any possible emergency may sound vague but not many days after Gen- eral Vandenberg penned those words he was in the Republic of Korea inspecting USAF units in combat. As Professor of Air Science and Tactics, Major Richard T. W. Rivers, USAF, directed the organization and the subsequent oper- ation of the Air Force ROTC unit at SLI. Before leaving for his new USAF assignment. Major Rivers said: Cadets encamped at Brooks Air Force Base receive last-minute briefing before taking off for a simulated bombing run. RIGHT: Major Richard T. W. Rivers, Professor of Air Science Tactics and Commander Richard A. Anderson, SLI alumni president, being interviewed by a local radio announcer at the second annual military ball. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all persons concerned for making my two years stay here so extremely pleasant. The hiture strength of the United States Air Force is invested in its Air ROTC units. It is my sincere desire that this unit continue in its growth and strength throughout the years, thus render- ing aid to our nation in remaining strong and free against the forces of aggression. Major Rivers ' able staff consisted of: Major Harley N. Cox, Captain Stanworth Verdier, Captain Jack Robinson, Warrant Officer (jg) Earl P. Flannagan, M, ' ' Sgt. Roy J. Maggard, T Sgt. Robert W. Porter and T Sgt. Armon Jorden. The first cadet commissioned a 2nd lieutenant in the USAF reserve from the SLI unit was Eugene Hernandez. Later, at the second annual president ' s day review, 18 May, 1950, the first cadet graduation exercises were held. Major General Alden R. Crawford, Commanding General, 12th Air Force, delivered the congratulatory speech and Major Rivers administered the oath of office. Cadets who received commissions were: E. A. Ackoury, Jr., I. A. Adams, R. A. Adams, Jr., J. M. Ardoin, J. A. Barbera, R. A. Barousse, G. Bertrand, J. H. Broussard, M. C. Caillouet, S. E. Chaze, L. G. Durio, W. J. Frusha, Jr., H. L. Fournet, T. S. Godson, L M.

Cadets of the crack drill team performed under the stadium lights at the annual SLI homecoming football game. RIGHT: Over 600 cadets from various units found that close-order drill was still part of USAF training while at summer camp at Brooks AFB, San Antonio, Texas. Commanders Cadet Colonel James H. Broussard. Although Air Force ROTC cadets spend more time in air science classrooms, they never-the-less do not neglect tim.e-honored close- order drill. Once a week the cadets are issued M-1 rifles and assemble on the drill field for a snappy session of precision drill. USAF Captain Stan worth Verdier, as commandant of cadets, directs this phase of training. Here cadets have an opportunity to develop traits of personal leadership. During the course of an academic year, the cadets are sure to be reviewed and inspected by high ranking U.S. Air Force officers. As the USAF expects to gain 90 ' r of its future officers from the ROTC program, the cadets take their drills in deadly earnest. CADET UNIT COMMANDERS AT MID-YEAR WERE: FIRST ROW: Lt. Col. I. M.

SEASON The Southwestern Football Squad of 1949 climax- ed a very fruitful season by downing a stubborn Northwestern eleven to capture third place in the Gulf States Conference. Throughout the campaign the S.L.I, gridsters showed fine spirit and good coach- ing as they entered each game determined to uphold the honor of Southwestern to the best of their ability. This fighting spirit was well de monstrated in games against Southeastern, Pensacola, and Northwestern when in each occasion the offensive and defensive units combined their power to grab victory from the depths of defeat. The final count found the Bulldogs with six victories and three defeats in the won-lost column and with 174 points scored as compared to their opponents 145. Individual highscorer for the rampaging Bull- dogs was their ace right-half-back George Crowson, who broke the Gulf States Conference Scoring Rec- ord by tallying 72 points. Bubber Phillips of Missis- sippi Southern had previously held the record when he chalked up 60 markers in the 1948 season. Crow- son was greatly aided by his educated toe as he booted 21 conversions and one field goal. Jerry Hodges, left-half-back, ranked second in point pro- duction with 30, and he was followed by Dick Pate with 18 and Lou Gaudet, R. E. Billion and John Falgout with 12 apiece. Dave Fisher, George Luffey and Shrimp Smith each accounted for one touch- down. GEORGE ' GEE ' MITCHEL Head Football Coach Backfield men who demonstrated superb abilities in- cluded Crowson, Hodges, Fisher, Pate, Smith, Marcello, Mixon, Simmons, Lewis, Talbot, Ferachi and Billion while the linemen who displayed unexcelled blocking and de- fensive play included Gaudet, V illiams, A. D. Smith, DiGiovanni, Ward, Wilcox, Boudreaux, Luffey, Bradley, Leibert, Falgout, Wink, Best, Mosing, Albritten, Dudley, Roach, Riley, Price and Hebert. Halfback Crowson and guard DiGiovanni represented Southwestern on the first string All Conference Eleven while tackle Boudreaux landed a spot on the converted second team.

Eleven Southwestern opened their 1949 grid campaign with a very impressive 30-0 win over the Austin College Kanga- roos from the Lone Star State ' s capitol. Jerry Hodges and George Crowson with 12 points each were the big wheels in the scoring column for the Bulldogs while Dick Pate accounted for the remaining points. S.L.I, opened the fray with a 65 yard sustained drive which was climaxed by George Crowson ' s five yard plunge for paydirt. Thereafter the final outcome of the encounter was never in doubt as the Bulldogs completely outclassed their out-of-state rivals both defensively and offensively. Crowson also accounted for S.L.I. ' s second scoring effort as he kicked a beautiful field-goal. Minutes following the opening of the second half the Bulldogs scored their third TD as Dick Pate scampered 23 yards around left end. Southwestern ' s next tally came on a shovel pass from Marcello to Kodges. Conversion was made by Crowson. S.L.L ' s final marker came when Hodges bulled his way over from the 8 yard line following a pass intercep- tion by Fisher.

S.L.I, took only three minutes to tally their first marker, as Hodges slashed over right tackle and scored standing. Then Gaudet crossed paydirt for the Bulldogs ' second score. Troy came fighting back, however and, paced by their star back, D. Renfroe, marched 67 yards to the 4 yard line from where Renfroe slipped across. After the half Pate scampered 30 yards for the Bulldogs third score and Gaudet took in another TD pass, both coming in the third quarter. In that same period Renfroe also had scored his second and last tally of the night. S.L.I. ' s final three tallies were runs of 65, 60, and 35 yards by H. T. Smith, Fisher and Crowson, respectively. Crowson booted 6 of 7 points after touchdowns adding to his scoring column another 12 points. The Awaited Kickoif Southwestern captured its first GuH States Conference victory against a stubborn South- eastern aggregation 27-20. Crowson, Hodges, and Pate paced the Bulldog offense and Gaudet, Ward and Roach starred for the Bulldog line. Southeastern scored first as fullback Lavigne plunged two yards for the TD, but Parnell failed to convert. S.L.I, then came roaring back with two quick scores as Crowson plunged across from the three, and Smith com- pleted a 14 yard pass to end Luffey. Crowson added both extra points and the Bulldogs were out in front 14-7. The score at half time read 14-13 as a late Lion passing attack succeeded in crossing pay- dirt just 15 seconds before the midway point. Pate scored for S.L.I, in the third quarter and both teams scored a TD in the final period as Lavigne and Crowson each tallied their second markers of the night on short plunges.

The Houston team tallied single touchdowns in each period with Baker as high point man for the visitors with two touchdowns to his credit. The Bulldogs pushed over their only 6 points in the third quarter, when Marcello tossed a beautiful aerial to Crowson who took it in while crossing the goal line. Crowson then converted perfectly, ending the S.L.I, scoring for the night. Pinning all their hopes on an all out offense, S.L.I, took to the air in the final minutes, but this strategy backfired as Purdum of the Cougars latched on to one of Marcello ' s spot passes in the flat and scampered 40 yards for the final counter of the contes t. the Cougars He Almost Got Away Southwestern suffered their second straight defeat of the 49 campaign to a hard driving Mississippi Southern squad, 25-0. The Southerns were held on even terms by a fighting Bulldog forward wall in the first half and in the fourth quarter but they proved their worth when they slipped 4 touchdowns past a tiring S.L.I, eleven in the third stanza. The Bulldogs threatened first early in the initial frame when they drove down to the Mississippi 20 on nice runs by Billion and Crowson and a beautiful pass play from Marcello to Crowson which was good for 20 yards, but the Southern line held for 3 downs at that point and an attempted field goal by the Bulldogs on fourth down fell short.

The former came after receiving a flat pass from quarterback Kolms. In the latter run Bubber demonstrated his fame for brokenfield running when after being pinned in on an at- tempted run around left end he stopped short, re- versed his field and outran laterally the entire Bulldog line and proceeded to scamper up the field for another six points. The remaining Southern markers were both fluke plays as their ends Blackmon and Langford pulled down TD passes after they had repeatedly been knocked around by the Southwestern safety men. lii-iliriitf i ii ' iVli fl % ' ' ' W«Ntt f Bouncing into a surprisingly powerful Louisiana College line, S.L.l. ' s Bulldogs squeezed out a 7 to 0 victory to end a two game losing streak. The major part of the first half resulted in a consistent exchange of punts until right before intermission when Southwestern sprung a wide open passing attack which resulted in a score just 20 seconds before half-time. First Jerry Hodges, shifty left half, shot B ' : ' H 25 yard areal to glue fingered Louie Gaud- et on the 35. Marcello then faded back, cocked his arm and sent one flying to John Falgout. In a dazzling display of catching, Falgout went into the air in the end zone along with a Louisiana College player, Price loses his head Bulldogs Treed fought for the ball, and then plucked it from his opponent ' s back for six points. George Crowson calmly booted one that split the uprights to end the scoring with the Bulldogs out in front 7-0. Aided by an avalanche of uncalled for penal- ties against Southwestern, Louisiana College dom- inated the play in the second half, but costly fumbles on the part of the Wildcats, and Jerry Hodge ' s beautiful punting kept them from crossing the S.L.I, goal line. On the offensive side Shrimp Smith was a standout for the Southwestern eleven as he slashed through the line for long gains, while on the defensive side, Jack Ward, Ray Boudreaux, Paul DiGiovanni and Lou Gaudet shone for the Bulldogs. the Wildcat H.

The final count read 21-0 as Harrison delighted a huge home crowd by crossing the all important marker twice while Humphries added the third score. The Bulldogs played a definite defensive game throughout as they found it next to impossible to move against the weight laden Tech forward wall. Linemen Smith, Wilcox, Ward, DiGiovanni, Albritten and Roach headed a Southwestern line which battled the baffling offensive maneuvers of the Tech- sters all through the contest. Harrison, who has long proved a jinx against a S.L.I, aggregation as well as many other elevens, was the ground gaining star of the day, as he tallied twice in the third period, once on a nice run of 35 yards. Humphries score came on a short plunge which ended a long drive. Hodges, Crowson, Smith, Fisher and Pate took turns trying to gain momentum through the Tech line, but all attempts proved a failure as far as the scoring column was concerned.

WILLIAMS SHELBY WOMACK Tackle Guard End Tackle We stopped Tech Once We Made Sea Scouts Out of Sailors Paced by Crowson, who scored 16 points, the Bulldogs captured a 28-12 victory from the Pensacola Airmen in their own back yard. The Bulldogs scored in the opening minutes of the game when R. E. Billon galloped 27 yards to score. Crow- son kicked the extra point and S.L.I, held a seven to nothing lead. B. Smith slipped across early in the second quarter for Pensacola, and then later Crowson scored and S.L.I, led 14-6 at halftime. The Goslings got back in the game in the third quarter but their brief recovery was short-lived as S.L.I, came roaring back and Marcello hit end J. Falgout with a TD pass. Crowson iced the game with a 38 yard touchdown during the final minutes of the game, after Wink had re- covered his second fumble of the night to set up the tally. Headed by Ray Boudreaux, George Roach, C. L. Wink and Howard Wilcox the Bulldog line repeatedly stayed off Goslin scoring drives through the first three quarters. This time Hodges makes first down at Tech Made Angels Out of Demons in One Night Staging their greatest comeback of the year the S.L.I. Bulldogs delighted a huge Homecoming crowd by smacking over the Northwestern State Demons 27-14. Trailing 14-0 going into the second quarter the Southwestern eleven scored two touchdowns to narrow their losing margin to one point at half-time. Led by their star quarterback and ace halfback, Lancaster and Emmons respectively, the Demons com- pletely dominated the play early in the contest by pushing over their only two scores of the game. Lan- caster accounted for their first score when after fading back to pass, seeing nobody in the open, elected to run and scampered twenty yards around end to pay- dirt. The Demon fullback. Beck, plunged two yards for their second score after Emmons passing and run- ning had been the main factor of a 60 yard drive. At this stage of the game a fast moving Bulldog ground attack and a hard driving line captured all the remaining glory as they completely outshone their upper state rivals. Thirteen seniors played this last game for the Bull- dogs, and Dick Talbot, especially, made his last ap- pearance in the Vermillion and White a memorable one. Although he didn ' t cross a goal line all night, his spectacular bruising runs were what rocked the Demons back. And don ' t forget Shrimp Smith, Gerry Hodges, George Crowson, Buddy Marcello and R. E. Billon when the posies are passed around for backfield play. Down in the line, the defensive work of Lou Gaudet was superb, while C. L. Wink, displayed form that had earned him a starting berth before an injury shoved him back on the bench. George Crowson bulldozed 3 yards for South- western ' s first score climaxing a 90 yard sustained drive. Hodges rammed across for the final TD before intermission. Southwestern ' s two scores in the last half were made by Billion on an 18 yard left-end sweep and an- other by Hodges, again on a short plunge. Crowson kicked 3 extra points out of 4 attempts.

COACH DUTCH REINHARDT The Bulldogs showed marked improvement as the season went along. They reached their peak at the opening of the Blackham Coliseum and there- after they suffered but one setback on their home court to a red hot Southeastern five. When the Red and White of Southwestern first engaged competition upon the floor of the new coliseum they had a conference record of 5 wins and 7 defeats, but after that they began to climb into the conference spotlight by repeated victories ov r high- ly favored opponents.

Led by Willie Globig with 16 markers the S.L.I, squad fought gamely and refused to accept defeat in the formal opening of the Coliseum. This victory was followed by a overtime engagement against the Mississippi Southern Cagers which the Bulldogs finally captured 62-54.

Track A brilliant Southwestern track and field squad won another conference championship and established a tradition during the 1950 season. The Bulldog cindermen maintained their supremacy over other conference schools with a third straight league champion- ship and remained as the only track champion in the two-year history of the Gulf States conference. The Bulldog cindermen beat off a challenging — and favored — Loyola team by a single point to retain the crown at the annual meet in Lafayette on Saturday, May 13, 1950. SLI scored 72 points to 71 for Loyola and 65% for Southeastern. Performances by unheralded trackmen like discus thrower Donald Mosing and high jumpers Earl Raggio and Hugh Hebert enabled the Bulldogs to surpass Loyola and Southeastern. Big guns of the track squad were a trio of runners — Jack Best, Charles Parkerson and Bill Sheffield. Best, the flying red- head, recovered from a leg injury in time to pace SLI to im- portant victories in the conference meet. Parkerson, a veteran perform.er, anchored the relay teams and was the highest indi- vidual scorer on the championship squad. Sheffield, who served as co-captain of the 1950 squad along with Parkerson, won his third conference mile crown. Coach Harmon K. West, who coached this great track team of Southwestern Louisiana Institute to their third conference championship. Harold Lyons vaulted 12 feet to set a new conference pole vault record. Mosing took the discus event and Raggio and Hebert, both fresh- men, tied for first place honors in the high jump. Alfred Arceneaux repeated as conference half- mile champion, and sophomore Billy Gooch placed in both hurdles events. The Track Squad Top freshman on the 1950 squad was F. G. Mixon, who ran the 100 and 440-yard dashes and the relays. Other point-makers for the Bulldogs were Gene Millet, relays; Doyle Boudreaux, sprints; Lynn Aysenne and A. E. Gautreau, weights; Bill Brinkhaus and Dewitt Blanchard, high jumpers; John Land, broad jumper and South- western Relays recordholder in the hop, step and jump; Jim Anders, Milton Gaudet and Alfred Schoeffler, broad jumpers; Lucien Hebert, quarter- miler and relay runner; and Nat Kieffer, Gerald Dill, Sheldon D eshotels, Carl Hancock and Gar- land Webb, distance men. A brief resume of the track season shows SLI bowing to the University of Houston and downing Tech in a three-way season ' s opener; SLI trounc- ing Southeastern and Northwestern; SLI losing to Loyola by three points; and SLI topping North- western and Louisiana Tech in the warm-up meet before the conference clash. A pair of records fell to Harold Lyons (left) and John Land, star SLI field men, during the season. Lyons raised the GSC pole vault mark to 12 feet, and Land broke his own hop, step and jump record in the Southwestern Relays with a jump of 44 feet, 1 1 inches.
