HALL THIS, tke twelfth volume of the Sou ' wester, is gratefully dedi- cated to our trusted friend and loving counsellor, who has devoted thirty-five years of his long and use- ful life in teaching students at his Alma Mater, who by his irreproach- able and loving character has en- deared himself forever to all who have ever hadthe privilege of knowing him, and who has unconsciously in- spired many to a higher and nobler life because of his own lofty ideals — Prof. R. F. Young, A. M. Professor of Romance Languages In Southwestern University FOREWORD Trie 1 9 1 5 Sou ' wester Staff presents this twelfth volume of the Sou ' wester with humility and yet with pleasure. We have no apologies to make for the hook. It must rest on its own merits. We have done our best to produce a book Worthy of Southwestern, its faculty, and student body, and we wish to express our sincere thanks to the many who have so cheerfully aided us in this endeavor. If When turning the pages of this book, both now and especially in years to come, you are aided in recollecting old and familiar scenes, faces and events of a happy year at Southwestern, the Staff will feel amply repaid for the labor it has taken to produce this book.

It is indeed one of the most beautiful college buildings in the South. The first floor accommodates the business offices of the University, the Department of Chemistry and Gymnasium. On the second floor are the Auditorium and Society halls, while on the third floor are the library and reading rooms. There are also in this building thirteen large recitation rooms and physical and biological laboratories. HE men ' s dormitory, built of native Williamson County limestone, was finished in 1908. It is thoroughly modern in arrangement and equipment. It has eighty-six rooms for students, reading rooms, parlors, a very large dining room, and four bath and toilet rooms on each floor. The building has its own heat and light plant and modern dining room and kitchen facilities. It was named in honor of Rev. Francis Asbury Mood, the founder and first president of Southwestern University. B ■ ' mm ' - oman b Umlbtng HIS building is said to be the most home-like dormitory for young ladies of any college dormitory in the State. Built of white limestone on the highest elevation about Georgetown, with its own heat and light plant and modern laundry, it furnishes a desirable home for one hundred and fifty girls. In addition to the living rooms it has a large auditorium, gymnasium, dining room, parlors, society halls, and rooms for music, elocution, and art. ft3flW3 -,!  fitting rimaf N this building, then Jusft two stories in height, the first session of SouthWesterBf fn e sit! , ' ojaened in October, 1873, with three ' professors ' ' ancl thirtyVthree students.

President of Southwestern University. Dr. Charles McTyeire Bishop was born and reared in Virginia. His first education was received in the elementary schools there. Then he entered Emory and Henry College from which he graduated in 1884 with the degree of A. M. He remained with his Alma Mater two years as Adjunct Professor of Latin and Greek. He resigned in 1887 to enter the active ministry in Virginia. He transferred two years later to the Southwest Missouri Conference. For several years he held some of the most influential places in his Conference, includ- ing Melrose Church, Kansas City. In 1899 he was honored with the degree of D.D. by Central College of Fayetteville, Mississippi. Dr. Bishop has lectured on the poetical works of the bible at Scarritt Bible School. Kansas City, and at the Missionary Training Institute at Nashville. He was Cole Lecturer at Vanderbilt in 1909. In 1910 Dr. Bishop was transferred to Texas, going to Wichita Falls, from whence he was called in June, 1911, to become President of Southwestern University. His administration has been fraught by the problem of building the Greater South- western and it is with pleasure that the citizens of Texas see him carry this plan forward with success. P «$ ill I ' f J % m 4 « mm ¥ • 1 v ll 18 Dr. Claude Carr Cody Dr. Claude Carr Cody is a Georgian by birth and education. He graduated from Emory College in 1875 with highest honors, and three years later his Alma Mater honored him with the Ph.D. degree. Dr. Cody was called to Southwestern Uni- versity as Professor of Mathematics in 1879, when the institution was struggling for its existence. His life and the advancement of Southwestern have always been one and the same thing and it is mainly through his ef- forts that she has advanced to her present high position among the Southern Colleges and Universities. Dr. Cody has been successively Secretary of the Faculty, Chairman of the Faculty, President of the Annex, Manager of Giddings Hall, Dean of the Summer School, and at pres- ent he holds the responsible position of Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Secretary of the Executive Committee of the University. Dr. Cody has written several books during his thirty-six years of active service as a professor of Southwestern. Among them are his Life of Dr. Mood, and his textbooks of Plane and Solid Geometry. There is no doubt that the students love Dr. Cody more than any man living next to their father, for indeed he is as a loving father to all the students, boys and girls alike. When anyone wants help or advice he always goes to Dr. Cody, who is always happy that he can help someone. May his Christian character, which has inspired so many thousand students, continue to be a blessing for many years yet to come. Dr. Claude Carr Cody, A.M.

They annually elect the students ' Honor Council, the Sou ' wester and Megaphone Staff?, and control student activities in general. When the Students ' Association was first organized it was for the purpose of electing its first Honor Council. The moral tone of the students has heen all but perfect and our system which is now in vogue in most of the best schools in the country is in every way a complete success. It has proved an excellent media for bringing faculty and students into perfect hanr.ony. 36 ■ ■ +■ ' ■■ ' ' J- • _;_; university honor council. 37 ' ti ■-:: ' ■%y ; ij% Q University Honor Council Henry Tucker President T.

The object of the Council is to deal with all cases of cheating on examinations or in class. Any student may report another whom he thinks has cheated and his case will be investigated by the Council, and the name of the reporter is kept secret. The Council acts in co-operation with the faculty, recom- mending what the penalty should be. The decision of the Council is almost always accepted by the faculty. There is scarcely ever any occasions which come up before the Council, as the general moral tone of the student body is such that honesty and fairness is the spirit of the students at all times, in all places. 38 Woman ' s 5elj Gov6rnm6nt Association £auus OFFICERS Ruby Henrichsen President Kate Laws Vice-President Ina Dale Wooten Secretary-Treasurer Gladys Gregory Outdoor Censorship Hattie Stanford House Censorship Alma Barrett Special Censorship WOMAN ' S HONOR COUNCIL.

The organization of the latter society was slightly modified when Soule University was merged into Southwestern University in 1870, and the renovated association was christened the Alamo Literary Society. This organization affords opportunity for informal training in various phases of public speaking. The society participates in several speaking contests during each year, and also enters the social sphere occasionally. For several years, the average membership has stood between fifty and sixty, with an average weekly attendance varying from twenty to fifty. In this membership are included the names of some of the ablest and most active men in the student body. Alamo Literary Society has made good, as can be proved by the fact that some of the most influential men in the state to-day in all the professions, were once not only Southwestern men but Alamo men. i 45 46 Alamo Literary Society OFFICERS 1914-1915.

Meetings were first held Friday nights in a recitation room. A hall was later equipped for the use of both of the societies and, in 1900, when our present large administration building was com- pleted, each society moved into its own hall, made ready and particularly arranged for literary society work. San Jacinto has never failed to recognize the true and full significance of her motto — Perfect elcquence clothes men with kingly power. Every man is given an active part on the programs, varied with debates, declamations, orations and parlia- mentary drills, and the effect of such training has been manifest. Out of the thirty- seven inter-society debates held at commencements, San Jacinto has won twenty-three. She has furnished more than two-thirds of the speakers from Southwestern to the State Oratorical Association ; has furnished her part of strong men on inter-collegiate debates and other public occasions ; and what is very noteworthy is the fact, that from her hall has come all of Southwestern ' s men, who have won Rhode ' s scholarships — Albert Godfrey Sanders, T. J. Mose ly and M. K. McLean. Her future is bright. This year the number of new members entering the society is about twice that of last year. Fourteen men have had prominent places in public debates and orations and, with this constant development of new material, each mem- ber has cause to join enthusiastically in Hullabaloo, Blick-black, Hullabaloo, Blick-black, San Jac, San Jac, Tigers! ! !

Flower — Pink carnation. 60 Clio History HAT quaint, musty, old books! How the story of the past thirty years seems to rise from their faded, yellow pages! The first one is dated 1885, and from it we gleam the story of the infancy of Clio. The mother- society, the Alethean, had grown so large that it could not be easily handled. So the younger, more adventurous spirits declared, Volamus aliis Propiis, and formed the new society, whose emblem is the star, the crescent and the old English C. Clio, the muse of history, was invoked to bless and cherish her namesake, and thus the society began. Who the first president was, the old records refuse to reveal. However, we find that a devoted study of all the great women of history was the first line of work pursued. As the pages are turned, the horizon widens, anil not only history, but literature, music, art, each and all form a part of the record. The story grows more and more familiar as each book is opened, and the names are better and better known. The society seems to be growing under our very eyes, from a weak, struggling group to its present virile strength and influence. Ah! here is a volume that has slipped behind the other ones, an important one it seems, for in its first pages it records the unanimous vote to adopt the Alamo society as a brother-society. Why? In vain the pages are turned, for the record only hints at the story and refuses a full revelation. From the first the motto, Volamus aliis Propiis, seems to have vitally entered into the lives of the members, and Clio seems to have always been fortunate in having for its members choice spirits, who longed for and worked to achieve true success in the great world. And names such as Barcus, Howren, Lockett, Gillett, Thomas, McKee, Stanford, Coltrane, Graham and others — what memories they bring of days and deeds that are past. Past? No! Of work that is still being done, for these once-upon-a- time memories are still living up to the motto, and are still inspiring us by their example to say, Volamus aliis Propiis. P.

She was all dignity and sweetness, however, as she greated the visitor and led her up to Alethean Hall, and the visitor ' s speedy How of talk needed no encouragement beyond the interested face of the girl, who was thinking, She ' s a very Miss Bates, but sweet, too. My dear — the visitor paused for breath only as they mounted the stairs — my dear, do you know I always thought these stairs were a little too steep; this is the last flight, isn ' t it? No? Well, I was sure we had come up seven already. You see I remember there are eight flights, but I suppose we have come up only six. Dear, dear, here is where I stood when we had open session in the society hall. It was a very nice affair, my dear; I stood here, and there were girls on every ' landing to show the young men to the society hall. I remember we had quite a debate about whether we should serve punch ; it was a very hard — ah! here we are at the top! Thank you; just put my coat here — ah! how lovely the view is from the window. I know once — I remember it quite well ; it was in November or February — November, I think, for the trees were bare — yes, I ' m sure it was in November — I came and sat in this very window, or maybe it was that one, and cried because the faculty would not let Alethean have an oyster supper. Then I was only twenty-three, and we began the year with only twelve members. But others were soon — no, my dear, I feel no draft at all ; just leave the window so — but, as I was saying, one morning, we had a very pretty program. We had a very poetic poem read by — I ' m sure I can ' t recall now, and I thought I would never forget — but, anyway, we hail a very interesting essay, too. Our entertainment was usually very pleasant, though we did have trouble getting everybody to — yes, the essays were on excellent subjects, like ' Perseverance, ' ' Retro- spective, ' etc. — very nice subjects, I ' m sure. These secretary books! What nice handwriting — I always say, my dear, that young ladies write very poorly now, but this is so beautifully shaded, so smooth. Ah ! the book of the annex manager — that was a very good magazine — published by Aletheans and Clios — the young men had a magazine, too, quite good — yes, started in 1887; I remember well, and Dr. Cody was the first editor-in-chief. Yes, it combined with the young men ' s magazine, to make the magazine you have now. We had debates — yes — quite often. I remem- ber, once the subject was, ' Resolved, that young ladies have more influence than young gentlemen. ' I know, once the Clios and Aletheans had an ice cream festival — that was in — yes, I ' m sure it was in 1889 — some of us dressed in historical costumes — very pretty, I ' m sure. What? Oh, yes, I ' m ready to go; you ' re not going down? No, no, not in the world. Yes, my coat, so kind of you, dear. The 1915 Alethean president stood looking at the old record books, as she wondered, Wouldn ' t it be interesting to see just how Aletheans in 1945 will think of us? When Alethean is sixty instead of thirty years old — But the bell — a thing about the annex that has been a part of the annex life from 1883 to 1915, and will be in 1945 — rang insistently, and the 1915 president left the hall where the spirits oi Aletheans seem to be. 65 y 66 V- - .

The Lecture Committee, representing the students, believed that students would be willing to pay $1.25 per term as lecture fee, in order that sufficient funds might be available for procuring some of the best talent attainable. After our petition was presented to the Executive Committee, the fee was adopted, and the result has been that instead of a course costing about $700, as was the case last year, we have had a course this year costing about $2,500. We contracted for the N. Y. Symphony Orchestra, but they did not make their trip west, due to the financial stringency. However, the following numbers have been here: Mr. Sylvester A. Long, lecturer; Hon. ex-Senator Webb, lecturer; Dr. J. A. Lovett, President of Rice Institute; Miss Christine Miller, contraltoist ; Miss Maggie Tyte, Sopranoist; Mr. Sumus McManus, lecturer; Miss Macy and Miss Helen Keller. We hope to have the famous Ben Greet Players here this season also. The Lecture Committee. K. E. Barn hart Chairman, San Jacinto R. W. May San Jacinto R. B. Woods Alamo H. G.

This League is now composed of both young men and young women, together with the faculty of the University and other honorary members. It is one of the nine that at present forms the Texas Intercollegiate Prohibition Association, which is in turn includ- ed in the National Prohibition Association. It is the object of this League to promote broad and practical questions, to advance the political application of the principles of prohibition and to secure the enlistment of students for service and leadership in the overthrow of the liquor traffic. To this end bi-monthly meetings are held. This year the State Meet was held in Georgetown Friday, April 2nd. There were business sessions and social enjoyments during the day. At the Oratorical Contest in the evening O. W. Moerner well represented Southwestern, winning second place, his subject being The Incoming Tide. 91 if ' mP - y. ...,:...,,. .. 92 University Band Floyd G. Betts, Director.

And fortune gave this class into the hands of the faculty and with them all their High School knowledge. And they carried them toward the land of wisdom to offer them on the altar of learning. And at the end of the first year, Bishop said unto Cody that he should select certain of the class, even the youths in whom was no blemish, but well favored and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such things as thought they had the ability to stand as Sophomores. And the faculty appointed for them a daily portion of Sophomore English, and of the wine of chemistry, and that they should be nourished three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the committee on degrees. Then came the class at the end of this year, unto the faculty with their petitions and said: Prove this class, we beseech thee, two years and let them give us oratory to speak, and philosophy to drink. Then let our record be looked upon by thee, and as thou seest, deal with this class. So they hearkened unto them in this matter and proved them two years. And at the end of the two years their ability became greater and they waxed stronger in knowledge than all the youths of Southwestern. Now, among them were these: football heroes, Chebie Graham, Tubby David, Squid Harris, Nelms, Soc Irwin, Uncle Billy Mickle; basketball champions, Leo Walker, Cameron, John Spruce; baseball hero, Crook Binion ; orators, Jimmy Lyons, Moerner, Baker; Prep, teachers, Mildred Smith, John Spruce, Kate Laws, Robert Williams, W. VV. Ward, Ruby Henrichsen ; journalists, Jesse Jones, Papa Averyt, Mary John, Lois Smith, Bliss Woods, Barnhart, Hall ; society belles, Alma Barrett, Willie Cason, Yulan Ussery, Gladys Gregory, Wynifred Armstrong and Margaret Root. And on the day which the committee had appointed, they communed with them. And in every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which they inquired of them, they found them ten times better than all the former students of Southwestern. And the class continued even unto the 14th day of June, 1915. Ruby Henrichsen, Class Historian.

College day frolics, glorious, olden, Make the joy of living complete. Fellow students, ' tis hard to leave you And the old familiar places, Oh, that we could linger with you ; Know the expressions of your faces. Duty calls us ; we must hasten Along our soul ' s magnificent run, No, we dare not lift a finger Till the work of life is done. To you, we give a parting handclasp, Throbbing with love and memories dear, May success crown all your efforts Thru the trials of succeeding years. May the star of your ambitions Glow with clear, transparent light, And the radiance of your visions, Drive away the phantoms of the night. We shall always surely remember College comrades in days of yore, Search from January ' till December, We shall find their faces no more. Let us mourn, then, for the departed ; Joyful hours we have whiled away, Their memories ever dwell within us — Cronies of our college days. R. Roy Jobson. W 154 1 155 Junior Class History S we, the class of 19 lb, look back over the broad expanse of our college life, we find many things for which t o be grateful. As freshmen, we solved the mysteries of x and y ; we traced with Prof. Moore the wonderful exploits of Napoleon; we followed with Dr. Gray the descendants of Adam, and came triumphantly out from it all into our Sophomore year. This year will never be forgotten. Who will ever fail to remember that English C? How we did strive to learn of all the great men of letters as set forth by Prof. Pegues. Sad to state, the attempt resulted in success — only for a few ; but all of us still remember a few little purple patches of poetry and those delightful lectures on far oft unhappy things and battles long ago. Then comes the best year of all — our Junior year. James Russell Lowell has said, What is so rare as a day in June! We can change this and say with equal truth, What is so rare as our Junior year in college! For we are now standing on the threshold of our Senior year, looking forward to it with joy and longing, and we can only wish that it may be as happy as the one we are leaving behind. We believe it shall be for as Kipling says, If you can pass And not make passes your aim, If you can speel And get a pass just the same, If you can cut And not get caught, If you can write a theme And then get naught, Why, then, you ' ll be a Senior, son.

And from the corners of the night Came the shadows of the past, Trooping out into the night. Peeping from their hiding places In among the logs; Peeping from the glowing embers, And from behind the dogs. Silently they all came forward Decked in holiday array, And then unrolled my life ' s canvas In a most surprising way. Darker grew the stage of action, Like the dark Egyptian night. Still these wearied little workers Seemed to never miss the light. Suddenly the scene was shifted, And again the fire flames leaped; And in ecstacy of joy I piled the fire logs in a heap. Then the flames reached higher heights, And there I saw the castle gray, Whose walls were steep, whose doors were locked, And all around a wide moat lay. But leading upward to the heights, There was a rough and thorny way, Which led me through a garden, Where the cloud-capped castle lay. And as I lingered in my dream, Wondering what the scene might be, A spirit spoke from out the fire And said, That roadway is for thee. Leslie Boone. 170 lift ; ..._ ' 171 Sophomore Class History, ' 14- ' 15 !AKE all the pep of a championship football team, mix it with the brains of a Socrates, Plato or Aristotle, then pour this into a solution of the brawny strength of a Hercules, and ) r ou will have a nucleus of the present Sophomore class. Aided by some existing conditions during its Freshman year, the class of 17 formed a strong bond of union that has held them together through peace and conflict, as has been demonstrated in recent class-rushes. Every member has been loyal to the cause and consequently some enviable records have been made during the two years of the college life of the class. As Freshmen, the class of 17, by an overwhelming majority of points, won the annual inter-class track meet. A year later the same capable athletes easily doubled the number of points won by any other class, and captured the second meet. Not only is this true, but the captains of the football, baseball and basketball teams are all Sophs. So a large portion of the athletes of our victorious teams are furnished by the class of ' 17. However, ability in athletics is only a small estimate of the real strength of the class. We rightfully boast of the standard of scholarship that for the last two years has been set for the future Frosh. Besides this we have some of the foremost orators and debaters in the several Literary Societies. In fact, a few of these men are being de- pended upon to uphold the standards of Southwestern in the future. To briefly summarize, then, we may say that the Sophomore class is represented in every phase of college life, anil that it furnishes leaders for most of the student organizations. Athletic teams, clubs and other organizations have honored Sophomores this year with their leadership. Thus we hope to continue through our Junior and Senior years as we have tried to do in the past, and that good work so early begun will not be too soon in finding an end. C. R.

No one will deny that that election was the richest bit of enter- tainment ever furnished for the edification of the upper classmen of any college. Mr. Mumme ' s voluntary and persistent oratory will always be remembered with pride by his classmates. Then, the Freshmen girls have set a high water mark in Annex entertainments when they gave their reception. Their ingenuity will undoubtedly win the prize. Athletics in S. U. owes a great deal to the class of ' 18. We furnished our full contingent to the football team, and in baseball our famous all Freshman infield has made the team the best in years, and the one best bet on the pennant. We will un- doubtedly carry off the honors in tennis this summer. We have one or two stars at the game and whole systems of lesser constellations. On the five mile track a Freshman trotted in a minute and a half ahead of his nearest competitor. Although we held the sack in the inter-class track meet, it was close enough to make the Senior-Sophs anxious; and the relay race was quite a surprise to those of our opponents who expected an easy victory. In the literary societies we Freshmen have shown marked ability. We have dis- tinguished ourselves not only in the routine work of the societies, but have also con- tributed a member to the winning team of an inter-collegiate debate. Nor is ' 18 to be surpassed in scholarship. Many distinctions have been made and practically every member of the class has remained in school during the whole year. In view of the foregoing facts it is evident to any observant thinker that the prob- lems which now baffle the world will, in the future, prove as child ' s play to the mighty minds now being developed in our Freshmen class.

' A 1 4H 189 Freshman Poem If you ' ve been where you weren ' t wanted, And folks were smiling at your stare, And every spot around you haunted, Silent whisperings being in the air. Where dignified persons eyed you keenly, With a knowing nod and wink, Then you ' ll think it not unseemly, For a Freshman to be a gink. Oh, you dignified Senior lad, With your cap and flowing gown ; To you, it does not seem so bad, For a Freshman to be a clown. You are one of the favored few, Who have been all along the way ; We pity, envy and reverence you, For careless words that you may say. We are sure the Juniors will never forget, A Freshman ' s kind and loving care, In running errands and shining shoes, Midst sounds of belts through the air. Your friendship is ours for another year, The outlook now is passing fair; We ' ll meet again to laugh and chat Over our harmless Freshman spats. Here ' s to the haughty Sophomore, Conscious of dignity and arrogant pride; The Freshman moves as never before, When his chilling smile derides. What a wretched, unhappy set Are these poor, unfortunate creatures; Many years will pass ere we forget, The heroes of our college features. R.

McMillan, the principal of the Southwestern Fitting School, is a native of Texas. After receiving his early education in the public schools of the state, he came to Southwestern to complete his college course. While still in college, he was Student- Instructor in the Fitting School and after graduation, was Principal of the Georgetown High School. He left Georgetown to take the position of Professor of History and Director of Athletics in the Waco High School, but returned in 1912 when elected to the position he now holds. His experience, natural ability, and untiring efforts have secured for him uniform success. In the two years since he came to the Fitting School, his efforts have greatly added to its efficiency, effectiveness and increased attendance. 194 i .

Everyone knows he was the man for the place when he was elected captain for 1914. It was due largely to his pep, and his example of hard, consistent football, that Southwestern was able to turn out such a successful team as we had this year. Bush will be back with us next year and we know he will again be the mainstay of our team. T. H. Harris, Ex-Captain, Right Halfback. 1914 ends Squid ' s four years of college football, but Titus will never be forgotten. You never had to tell Squid to hit the line hard because he always did it. He is the kind of football player you read about in stories, and to say that we will miss him next year isn ' t half expressing it. He was a true sportsman, a lover of the game, noted for grit, gameness, and for hard playing he iust couldn ' t be beat. Russel Dallas, Captain-Elect, Right Tackle. I o never have played any football before coming to college and then to be elected captain the second year you are on the team, is an honor of which any of us would be proud, yet this is just what Peter has done. His weight, strength, and grit, have made him an excel- lent tackle. As leader of our 1915 team we cannot help hut have a winning team. If Peter doesn ' t land a berth m the all-state selection next year, we ' ll be surprised. F. D. Nelms, Left End. When last season was over we thought Frank had played just about as good a game as anyone could for his size, yet this season he played better than ever before. He is in the game every minute and his speed and heady plays make him one of the best ends in the State. He has nerve enough to spare, too. We hope that Frank will be back with us next year for he is one of the most valuable men on the team. D. I. Maxwell, Left Tackle. When Red came out for football practice last fall he had perhaps seen a football, but that was all. However, he picked up the game rapidly. In the Baylor game Red played like a veteran. He has speed, weight, and lots of nerve. Next year we feel certain that Red will be one of our strongest linesmen and we are look- ing forward to some big things from him. Archie Hoyl, Left Tackle. Archie came to us from Decatur last year and, although new at the game, he made good. This year, with the experience he had picked up and the weight he had put on during the year, he just couldn ' t be kept off the team. He is a hard charging linesman and next year we believe he will be heard from over the State. Better keep an eye on Archie. 215 Floyd Betts, Quarter. The way Betty ran the team was great and with this year ' s experience he ought to make a wonder in 1915. He is fast, has lots of pep, nerve, and runs his team well. He is one of the best quarters Southwestern has ever developed. We are hoping Betts will be back next year for he ' ll leave a big hole in the team if he doesn ' t. He gained the reputation this year of being the best punt returner in the State. Bertram Hedick, Fullback. Hedick rips the line when he gets the ball and the way he played in the Mississippi game put him in a class by himself. He literally tore their line to pieces. Hedick is also a good punter and his toe ought to prove a big help to the team next year. With more speed, which he ought to have by next year, Hedick will make a fullback second to none in the State. ' R. Rector Coffee, Right End. is another of Georgetown High ' s products, and plays the game hard from the word go. He is a sure tackle, but his long suit is in dumping interference. Steady, consistent playing won him a berth on the team. Rec has worlds of grit and he will prove a big help in making our 1915 team a winner. rppi 216 B. S. Graham, Left Half. It is hard luck that Chebie grads this year for he would have been a mainstay for next year ' s team. Being the fastest man in the State he just ran away from his opponents. He is a hard tackier and a sure ground gainer. It will be hard to fill Chebie ' s place on the team and we wish he would decide to come back for his A. M. Wilson David, Left Guard. Tubby finished his fourth year of football this season and next year there will be a large hole that will be hard to fill. Tubby is a fast, aggressive, hard charging man. He was always in the game instilling his pep into his team-mates. We believe Tubby ' s success was due to glances and smiles from a certain fair damsel in the grand- stand or from a car. Harold Scoggins, Center and Left Guard. Scogg was one of our transfers from Poly where he had been doing big things in football. He wasn ' t a new man in football but one who bad already made a reputation. To say that he lived up to his rep is useless for he was a tower of strength in our line. Next year we shall count heavily on Scogg. 217 ■- :■„,„..-. - ' J : ,: sX . I S5R3S Scott Shook, £«r flW Halfback. Shook was another of Poly ' s star football men who came to S. U. this year. He played hard, consistent foot- hall throughout the season and could be depended upon when put in the game to do his best. We wish Shook could be back with us next year because he would be a big help to the team. Coach Rix. This was one of the familiar sights on the athletic field when the boys were tackling the dummy. Coach taught the men how to tackle a man low and consequently the men made good when we played the game. We do not feel that we can praise Mr. Rix enough for the efficient service he has rendered the school this year. Manager Williams. When Bob Williams came here from McDade four years ago, he did not expect to accomplish much. But funny things happen in this world. Last spring Bob was elected manager of the football team for 1914, not because he wanted it, but because he made a good assistant man- ager. Last fall he got to Georgtown early, with a sprout- ing mustache and a pint bottle of dye, to make arrange- ments for training camp. He had a fine camp at Easley ' s farm and did all in his power through the season to put out a good team. The boys said that on the Arkansas trip he lost his heart, but he still goes back to McDade. 218 m v tai :. _:,l „. j Scrub Football Team Record, 1914 Scrubs 7, Taylor Fireman Scrubs 21, D. D. Institute, 19 Scrubs 7, Texas Short Horns 33 Scrubs 27, S. U. Preps 219 ! %? G. F. Pierce, Coach. Pierce, with his experience as as- sistant coach of last year ' s scrub team, did exceedingly well with this year ' s team. With only two old men back, he worked his men hard, and before the end of the season had a team that fre- quently made varsity tight hard to score. Pierce was an excellent coach, and every man on the team fought his hardest when Pierce gave him a word cf encouragement. S. R. Hay, Jr., Manager. Hay successfully managed the team through the season, and did his best for the scrubs. He demonstrated his Pep and ability as manager of the Scrub Team and the student body acted wisely in making him assistant manager for next year. Watson, Quarter and Captain. Billie, although he was by far the lightest man on the team, showed, b his excellent headwork and sure tack- ling throughout the season, that his weight didn ' t bother him at all. A. H. Gardner, Fullback. Bub, with his hard line plunges end steady defensive work throughout the season, was considered one of the most valuable men on the team. He had better be watched next vear. W. F. Gillespie, Tackle. This was his second year with the scrubs, and he demonstrated his ability in the games which were the hardest fought, by his hard and sure tackling and his nerve; and he proved, by his grit and staying qualities, that there was nothing yellow about him but his hair. D. J. Maxwell, Tackle. Red, with almost no knowledge of the game when he started out, proved his ability in the first part of the season with the scrubs, and was soon changed lo the varsity squad and made his let- ter by playing in the last few games. 220 T. J. Pace, Guard. Tom was another man who did not know much about the game at first, but who later played a good game. His weight and strength made him a hard man to handle. H. L. Ei.i.is, Guard. Harrv, although a little light for a lineman, showed, by his fast movement and hard tackling, that he is going to make somebody fight for a place on the varsity squad next year. R. H. Brewer, Halfback. Freshman Brewer showed from the rtart that he was going to stick. His forty-yard, broken-field run for a touch- down against the Texas Shorthorns was only one of his brilliant runs during the season. L. C. Powell, Center. Dock, although new at the game, proved, by his hard and consistent work, that he was in to stay. Whenevei Dock missed a tackle there was sure to be something wrong. F. G. Betts, End. Ikey brought a good record with him from Marlin High, and he certainly lived up to it after joining the scrubs. Watch him make somebody fight for a berth on the varsity next year. Grady Watson, Halfback. Grady, had he been eligible, would have given somebody a fight for the varsity team this year, but as it was, he had to play scrub football. His broken-field running and sure forward passing were excellent. 221 McKnight, Tackle. Mac came to us from A. M., where he played company football. With his big weight, he showed himself to be a valuable man in the line. J. D. Foster, End. Foster played a good game during the entire season. His ability to catch forward passes was especially good. Ben Cushenbury, Guard. Cushenbury, although ignorant of the finer points of the game at first, learned rapidly, and will make a good man next year. 222 ,,St ; : : 8  ft ; ; , « - Scenes on the Football Field. 223 ..:... - - r 224 ■ ,-■■■■, : . ....- .,.. - _. - td M S3 r r H % 225 ££?! - ; HT332 Baseball Schedule, 1915 March 6, S.

Fruit, last year ' s third baseman, has been shifted to his natural position in center field, which has materially increased his usefulness to the team. In spite of the responsi- bility of being captain, he is covering worlds of territory and hitting the ball hard. TITUS HARRIS, Catcher. Squid is serving his fourth year on the team and is better than ever. He has won eight S since he has been here, four years. He is generally recognized as the best college catcher in Texas. His pegging is true and hard and his steady hitting has been a material factor in winning many games. T. H. McDANIEL, First Base. Dan, although a first year man, is considered the best first baseman we have had in recent years. He swoops in all kinds of bad throws and the other infielders have full confidence in his getting anything they throw. D. I. MAXWELL, Second Base. Red is another first year man who is holding down second in fine style. He is a fine natural hitter, and his long hits have won him a secure place in the hearts of the fans. 227 WILL MATLOCK, Third Base. Bill is another Freshman on the infield, and the way he plays third reminds one of Ty Yardley. Nothing is too hot for him to handle and he is a good, steady man at bat. JOHN LYONS, Left Field. Johnnie is still holding down his left field in the old dependable way. He is a fine judge of balls and strikes, and so gets many bases on balls. He is a good base runner and one of the leading run getters on the team. LEE MATLOCK, Right Field. Lee is playing right field in a steady, consistent way that makes him a very valuable man. He, like the other outfielders, is covering all the territory any man could cover, and we never worry when we see a fly knocked to his garden. LEE DOBIE, Right Field. Dobie has divided the time with Matlock in right field, and has played a level- headed game all the way through. His ability to bunt has secured him many hits besides being good to advance the runner ahead of him. 228 R. L. BREWER, Shortstop. Freshman completes the fish infield and he is just as good as the rest of them, which is saying a great deal. He covers lots of territory and he is a fine man to receive a peg. He is a good, steady leadoff man, and we are glad to know that he has three more years ahead of him. GEORGE PIERCE. Utility Man. George has made a strong man on the team for four years now. He can play most anywhere and can hit the ball when he gets up, too. George is another one of our old standbys that we hate to see grad this year. He has done excellent coaching from third base all year. SINKg McLARTY , Pitcher. Sinks is serving his second year on the team, and is considered one of the best college pitchers in Texas. He is a Southpaw with splendid control and has an excellent head. His quick throw to first catches many base runners. VIRGIL FORD, Pitcher. Lefty is another southpaw that has been pitching splendid ball. He has lots of speed and is developing a fine change of pace that will help him considerably next year. We are indeed glad that he has two more years to spend with us. F. BINION, Pitcher. Crook is serving his last year with us, and he is making it his best. His great speed and fine control have helped us to win many games and we hate to lose him next year, but it does look as though he was going to grad. BEN C. LAWS. Catcher. While Ben hasn ' t gotten to play much this year, he has proved his ability as a catcher, and we predict a very successful season for him next year. 229 •■ f ' ■ .? SNSi«P£i V£ ■ ■ ' ...

Although Betts ' regular position was guard, at which place he was mentioned for all-state last year, he showed his ability as a forward in the Baylor game, in goaling 19 points out of the 43 to 7 score. Having had experience in football and track, he was able to lose his guard time and again. VIRGIL McCORKLE. Center. By hard work, Mac won his berth on the varsity quintette this year. He was always ready and willing to do anything the coach told him to do. He showed what he was made of in the A. M. game at College Station. R. N. SMITH, Guard. Prep could be depended on to contribute his part at all times. He put his soul into the game, and broke up many well planned plays of his opponents. Smith plays consistently throughout the entire game, never giving up. pk I ■ I i Wk a i ♦ I i A  mk i iw -M wy. 231 SAM HAY, Forward. Hay was a product of the Fitting School, and we all knew what he could do. By his consistent playing and accurate goal shooting, he won for himself the captaincy for 1915-16. He is light and fast at shifting, getting into the plays excellently. MARVIN WEIMERS, Guaril. It seemed that Weimers could stand just as much knock- ing as one wished to p ut on him. He was as hard as a rock, and his opponent was always glad when the game was over. With the experience and knowledge that he has gained during this season, he should play stellar ball next year.

Failed to Pass the National Board of Censorship Not recommended for children under one year of age 245 Georgetown, Texas, January 29, 1915. Prof. A. S. Pegues, City. My Dear Prof. Pegues: Recently, under the influences of a remark I heard, 1 experienced a spontaneous overflow of powerfid emotions, and, retiring to my room, after the curtain had descended upon another scene, 1 recollected the overflow in the time of tranquility. The enclosed bit of dramatized brain fever, entitled Fabula Aetatis, is the result. You will notice that this poem is written in blank verse, and this is no mere accident. In the first place, this poem is the child of my mind ; and, in its normal condition, my mind is generally a blank; so, more susceptible to heredity than environ- ment, the verse partook of the nature of its parent. Again, blank verse is a great labor-saving device, in the production of poetry, no time being required hunting for rhyming words. So I just wrote a prose composition of iambic feet, and then with a yard stick and a foot rule, I chopped it off five feet at a chop. That probably accounts ior the choppy condition of the poem. And laying aside, temporarily at least, all matters of trivial moment, 1 would like to say that, though the Fabula Aetatis is more blank than verse, it expresses, in a hazy, uncertain, and indefinite manner, the effect that the sixth sense had on my philosophy of life. Sincerely yours, Ralpho, Jr. ' 246 Fabula Aetatis And Oh, The world, it is a stage, ' tis said. How true! And Oh, how sad the tragedy Upon it acted! Day by day each scene Shows forth in black, black gloom the terrors of The drama acted there. And God, the great Director of the play, has called me from The great unknown (the space ere birth), to fill A part at which men sneer. My role ' s the clown ' s; My task, though foolish seems, is great to me — To lighten the distress and cares of life, The tragic drama acted on the earth. And clad in cap and bells and striped gown, I see the funny side of mur ' drous scenes, And act the gen ' ral fool. Men look and laugh, And lighten their sad hearts made heavy by The play in which they act like me, although In diff ' rent role. And then they laugh again And call me insincere, and say I dodge The problems of the deeper life and real. And mid life ' s sad, sad scenes they say my mirth And foolish puns are out of place. Oh, man, Who in your seeming wisdom art unwise, Oh, am I false and insincere ? And know I not the problems of real things? Oh, no, Thank God, not so! For though in cap and bells And striped gown I act the gen ' ral fool, My thoughts are ever on the things more deep. E ' en now, the curtain, night, descends upon Another scene. A space — I leave the stage To hold communion with the Lord, my God. And He, the great director of the play Of Life, will give me warnings and advice To bear me through the scene to follow on. And here behind this curtain black called night, I grapple with the deeper things called real. And still arrayed in garments out of place, I lose not sight of things that burden men. And so, each scene I pass, by mortals curst, Though lighten I their loads. And here ' s the thought, That, nourished in my breast, helps me forget The scoffs, and jeers, and laughs — the play will end Sometime far off, and then the pretty screen Which men call death and fear, will drop. And I, Discussing with my God the merits of The play I ' ve acted in — each act, and scene, And speech — will start work new amid things real, Contented, as before I joined the show. And he, the great director of the play, Will sign the check and give me mv reward. — Ralpho, Jr. Editor ' s Note — The real author was Mr. George Gibson. 247 ■xrwJ ■ ' - . ' ' - Southwestern ' s Zoo We read in the Booster ' s Club bulletins of our cities and we will find enumerated there the various things that the city has. This is not a Southwestern Boosters ' Club poster, or anything of the sort, but it is to tell you what we have here at Southwestern. Southwestern has a fine zoo. Among the animals to be found are Cam(pb)el(l)s, Lyons, Jacques, a Bull, a Tige(r), a Rat, a Seale, a Drake, a Piggie, a Bugchaser, a Goat and a few other amphibious animals. The colors of the rainbow are fairly well represented, although the collection is not yet complete. We have Brown, Gray, Black, White, Red, and Green (Fresh- man ) . The parents of our boys have searched the scriptures for names for their children, and their ancestors took Biblical names to distinguish themselves from their fellows. We have Simon (s), Adam(s), Eden(s), Peter, James, John, Paul, Cain, David, Joseph and others. Southwestern is quite a motor center. There are numerous automobiles represented among the student body. There is a Mitchell, Jackson, Maxwell, King, Cole, Henderson, Pierce, and there is a Ford too, of course. We have a Baker, Cook, Gardner, Butler, Brewer, Miller, Carpenter. We have two Weaks, two Sessions, two Halls, two Straws, two Paces, a Gillett razor, and Lehmberg(er) cheese. We have two great artists who are renowned the world over for their magazine covers and portraits of women — Harrison and Gibson. A few Texas towns are represented in names of our students — Graham, Dallas, Austin, Cameron, Sealy, Edna, et cetera. Cigars and Tobacco are not very well representatives as there are only a few on the Faculty and none of the students who smoke and chew — only — a Tinsley, Rogers, and a little Bull. There are a few representatives of history and especially American history rep- resented. Of the former presidents of the United States we have a George, two Adams, and a Jeff., Jackson and Wilson. There ar e three representatives of the present cabinet — Bryan, Garrison, and Grape Juice Daniels. We have Woods, a Glenn, and a ( Ina) Dale, and some Stones. One good old song, Annie Laurie.

Prof. Eddy: Why is this not a drama? Miss Bayer: It hasn ' t got a love story to make it a comedy and it hasn ' t got any killing to make it a tragedy. A NEW RECIPE. Take one armful of pretty girls, one lovely face, two lovely brown eyes, two rosy cheeks, and two lips like strawberries. Mix well together and press two lips. The result will be astonishing.

Dissolve one-half dozen glances into a quantity of hesitation and two ounces of yielding. Place kiss on blushing cheek. Flavor with a little scream and set aside to cool.

In fair romantic rough-neck days, Which now alas are missing; One question I would like to ask, How did they do their kissing. Someone asked Jesse Jones where a certain county in West Texas was, and scratch- ing her head said, Oh, in the northwest corner of papa ' s pasture. Tubby McKnight, talking about names, said that his name was Scottish and that the word Mac or (Mc) meant son of and that then, of course, he was of good birth, the son of a Knight. Saw Bones Darsey in the crowd asked, If Mc means son of — suppose a man was named McGun. FOR SAEE — Demerits for sale; am overstocked and must sell out in order to make room for new stock.

All is silence, wrapped in night, Like the shadows of a pall ; And soon the western line of light Is lost beyond recall.

Some of my class-mates think that I am nothing in the world but a woman-hater, and so I am glad of this opportunity to correct such a false notion as may be abroad. I have an ideal for a woman, but the reason that I have ceased almost entirely from making dates with the Annex girls, or any others, in fact, is that I have failed completely to find my ideal. I try to be reasonable and not make too high a standard, for I am well aware of the fact that I, myself, am not yet quite perfect. Above all else I hate a woman that is always chewing a cud of five sticks of gum. I haven ' t any patience with a flirt, and I ' ve never seen a girl that wasn ' t one, except Miss Gregory. But to return to my ideal. It seems to me that most men are too easily satisfied. They start going with one girl and just because she is attractive they forever afterwards go with this same girl. That looks foolish to my way of thinking. I have given this subject considerable deep study, especially since I received your inquiry, and believing that my four years ' experience may be of value to some green Freshman, I do not object to your publishing this letter if you see fit. The woman whom I shall choose must be five feet seven inches tall, and must weigh one hundred fifty-one pounds. I have found that blondes are indecisive, red-headed women are seldom docile, brunettes are rather sentimental, but considering everything, they are by far the most desirable. Brown hair and eyes are charming, but curly hair is childish, and as I want a companion and not a pet, I shall select a woman whose hair is straight (and I ' ll let her understand that kid curlers are out of the question, too). I haven ' t any use for pink and white beauties, or for the marble statue type — I want a girl with a good, healthy complexion that she don ' t ha ve to be eternally taken care of. The day I see her using anything stronger than soap on it, I ' ll sue her for divorce. I also forgot to mention above, in connection with the kinds of eyes, that I like long eye lashes. I have a good reason for that. She must, moreover, have a full, rich soprano voice, and must be fond of all kinds of music, especially rag-time. (I ' m not strong on this high-falutin stuff.) She must be a good pianist, and always ready to play accompaniments to my bass solos. Of course I want an educated woman, for I am quite a student myself — of course time out for managing the Megaphone this year, which has at times been interrupted by classes. But I should want a woman, as I was about to say, that can converse fluently in English, German, Swede, Chinese, and I was about to add Russian, for as Dr. y, 263 „ J . Granbury says, Russian is fast becoming the language in the most elite circles. But I cannot imagine anything more annoying than being tied to a rattle-box. While I am not selfish, still I should like a woman with property valued at not less than $50,000, or thereabouts. 1 would want all of this money turned over to me the day after we were married and allow me to manage it as I saw fit. My experience has been that women spend too much money if they can ever get their hands on it. Although I cannot say from personal experience that servants are undesirable, I have a very good friend, who lives in Floresville, that writes me that his wife is having an awful time with her servant in trying to persuade her to stay. So I want my wife to perform all her own domestic services. Of course I could go into details, but 1 trust that this brief sketch will be in some degree helpful to the oncoming generations of Southwestern. Respectfully, John W. Spruce. P. S. I forgot to mention that she must be a graduate of Southwestern University, as I think it is the only school in the United States that really amounts to anything, at least judging from this year ' s Grad class. WANTS A COOK. Dear Editor: I want a cook. Beauty, riches, accomplishments, and feminine graces are but surface qualities. I want the real stuff. Give me a woman who can make good angel-food and pink ice-cream, who can bake rolls so delicious that they are a foretaste of Heaven. When I am writing sermons and preparing prohibition speeches, nothing will help me more than visions of the crisp fried chicken, and snowy bread that my ideal woman will have ready for my dinner. May the time soon come when these visions may be .ealized. Yours truly, O. W. MOERNER. PREFERS TO LIVE ALONE. Dear Editor: I ' ve never considered girls seriously. As a rule I have found that they are weak creatures and always in a fellow ' s way. If I ever get to where I can ' t have any fun, and am thoroughly convinced that life has no more pleasure in it for me, I may con- sider marrying; but I think bachelorhood an ideal state. I have gotten along all right for twenty-two years and why should I desire to have it otherwise. I will certainly have to be crazy about a girl before I will be willing to submit to having hair pins and curling-irons all over my house. Your friend, Soc Irwin. W y, ,. - 264 DISLIKES MANNISHNESS. Dear Editor: You ask me about the kind of girl I like. I don ' t know what you could have asked me that would have been more embarrassing. I feel, however, that we are all perhaps a little too reticent in giving our views, and so I have decided to condesend and give my views on this subject. First, I do not like pretty girls. I have observed, especially while taking my post-graduate course this year (as I have had more time to observe this year than last year), that pretty girls are invariably conceited and vain. Second, I detest musicians. They are always nervous and hysterical, and have to be teased if you do like music. Third, I want a sensible woman and one that is not a bit mannish. Of all things, I believe a mannish woman is the worst. Sincerely, M. D. Cody. P. S. I hesitate to send this as I am very bashful in expressing my views. DOES NOT CARE FOR GIRLS. Dear Editor: I have arrived at the conclusion that my ideal woman is no woman at all. I sup- pose such an announcement will be a surprise to many friends who know what a ladies ' man I have been the past four years, and in fact all my life. I have been courted and flattered by a number of ambitious blondes, several aspiring brunettes, a few red- headed girls, two old-maids, and one widow. With this wide experience with the weaker sex, I have learned that all women possess two faults, ( 1 ) no one of them is willing to share a man ' s heart with one or two others, (2) they are all too fond of themselves to realize a man ' s desirability. I am fully convinced that I cannot afford to have my peace disturbed by one of these creatures, and have determined to spend the rest of my days with my pipe. Titius Harris. DOES NOT WANT AN ATHLETE. Dear Editor: I think all girls are nice. Most of them can play and I like music. I don ' t think there is any use in a girl trying to be athletic. My ideal is one of! those sweet clinging kind. She must love to stay at home, and must wear pretty fluffy dresses and nice little pumps. W. T. Binion. 265 HAS FOUND HER. Dear Editor: I have ceased to be an idealist, and have become a realist. All the qualities which my ideal possessed, I have found in Hallie. George Pierce. DESIRES BUSINESS ABILITY. Dear Editor: My ideal woman is a business woman. I don ' t care how big she is, or how old, or how ugly, or whether she has a mustache. If she is able to take care of me, I ' ll be satisfied. R. H. Williams. PREFERS A MISSIONARY. Dear Editor: My ideal is about my equal, would weigh about ten talents — in the gold of Ophir, and her age is the unknown quantity. Her black flowing hair is like a ripple on the wave of the sea, her deep brown eyes sparkle with love that would melt an iceberg, and her fair face is painted with the hand of nature. She is very energetic — in her own sphere, and has her purpose fixed like mine. She is always on duty, up to date in every change of season, and withal, the most attractive girl in the universe. J. L. Lyons. DESIRES OBLIGING GIRL. Dear Editor: My ideal is medium, graceful, and energetic. Her eyes are blue, her hair golden, her face so fair that the sunbeams have kissed the color away in many little spots. She is fond of athletics, especially football and baseball. Her mind is bright and active. She can master any subject but prefers to let many alone. She hates Math., but is fairly well pleased with Chemistry. She is very obliging, and chaperons the lower class girls anywhere they want to go. She will pass notes for her friends, but has the con- fidence of the entire faculty. She is happy, amiable, fair, and lovely, and when she passes ' tis like the ceasing of exquisite music. Harrison Baker. 266 Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class, 1915 Know all men by these precepts, that we, the Senior Class of 1915 A. D., of South- western University, City of Georgetown, County of Williamson, State of Texas, United States of America, being in the best physical, moral, and spiritual condition, do establish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking former wills, illegal docu- ments or false statements made by us at any past time. First : To the Faculty we bequeath the right to stand for thirty minutes and repeat the same admonitions over and over with their customary vigor and force personality ( ?), but not more than once a month, as they become a bore when one has to hear them any oftener. Second : To the honorable professors we give and bequeath the right to hammer into the brains of all future generaticrs the corrplete and full knowledge of all the contributions to all fields of knowledge that we have made on our various test papers and examinations. Third: To the juniors we bequeath that vast amount of dignity that every am- bitious junior covets and that most famous of names — senior, together with the right to strut around like you were somebody, whether you are or not; the further right to parade the halls and dark corners w T ith the Annex girls, providing you can secure their consent. (Note. This is strictly a senior privilege never to be indulged in by under- classmen.) We do further hand down all maps showing the longest way back from the San Gabriel in case the faculty should be persuaded to give ONE picnic during the year (a thing they have not thought best for this year ' s grad class). We do further bequeath the right to frisk the professors all you can, for you will find that you have no time to study during your last year, and that if you have been practicing for three years, that you can get by just as easy with a smooth line of talk as to be annoyed by having to study and interrupt the pleasure of many Senior functions. Keeping this in mind, we have bequeathed to you all our ponies (don ' t tell Miss Howren though) and any other books we may have which are nicely jacked, trusting that you will find this a great aid in avoiding superfluous study; lastly, we give this advice: plan to attend classes twice a week if possible, but when it is necessary to be sick, have weak eyes, receive long distance calls, oversleep, and forget to attend classes, by all means have someone notified in advance to answer present for you at roll call, and trust to luck that you won ' t get called on ; and never say you aren ' t prepared when you do come back to classes, for often you can get by by using the class look, which must never be forgotten. 267 Fourth: To the Sophs, we bequeath the following right: To make the Fish shine shoes as often as you may care to have them polished, punishing all resisters by the customary method of rining, using as many belts as necessary and letting as many put it on as may be standing around and desire to take part in the ceremony. Remember that you cannot make a Fish feel insignificant enough by gentle methods, and that he appreciates being a Senior better, if he has all greenness and smartness taken out of him by frequent applications of good belts and razor straps. Fifth: To the Freshman class we leave our brilliant record of decorous conduct, which we earnestly hope you will follow, never studying in chapel, or flirting with the girls during those long prayers of Dr. Bishop. Never throw coal, gum, chalk, paper-wads, or other destructive missiles, in chapel. Be subservient as all good Freshmen are unto your superiors, being as obliging as possible, for, remember, every dog has his day. If a professor is especially fond of you and busts you in any course, remember that he is doing this because he believes that the only way to make a man out of you is to bust you semi-occasionally. Do not go out for any form of athletics or try to enter into any form of college activities, as the faculty believes that these things detract from the serious purpose of getting an education, and consequently you may have to automatically drop out of school for a term (on account of weak eyes). Sixth: We hereby subscribe Turner Van Huse sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Senior Class, hereunto set our hand (see next page) this, the 14th day of June, in the year of our Lord 1915. The above instrument was everywhere subscribed to by the Senior Class of 1915, the testators, in our presence, and we, at their request and in their presence, sign our names hereto as witnesses. O.

Unfortunately all classical music doesn ' t have the accent on the class. W % 275 Life Sometimes when the birds sing merrily, And all the world seems glad, I wonder and wonder, quite wearily, Why anyone can be sad. I just love to lie under the trees And list ' to the happy, busy throng, And drink the perfume of the breeze All the whole day long. To watch the shadows, as they come and go Across the lines of other people ' s faces, Tripping this life with a fantastic toe, Lingering in the shady places. To call jolly laughter to my side, And forget all heart-aches and woes, Leaving that for other people ' s sighs, To tread among the high and low. To scatter sunshine here and there, All along my way ; For is there happiness half so fair As cheering the fallen today? To consider life with a jolly smile, A joke not taken to heart; Then it will seem a life worth while. When our destinies demand that we part. Other times, when the clouds hang overhead, And all the world goes wrong, I wish o ' er and o ' er that I were dead, Away from such a fickle throng. Nature has lost her coat of green, And the squirrel shivers in his nest; The ground is soaked with cold, cruel rain, And the elements never cease to rest. I have no friends; their smiles are cold, Where once they flashed with fire. I am deserted ; no thoughts of old Lure me with a keen desire. The morning of life is a fickle dream, That is empty, yet fills with hope; All is smothered in the mighty stream That drowns our fondest hopes. Why struggle and toil for far-away fame, When the pinnacle is rarely found ? Folks will soon forget your name, When you are buried in the cold, cold ground. So we linger here with a silent tear, For our souls that fate hurries on, We cling to things that are most dear, Still we long for our distant home. R. Roy Jobsot 276 y .,., ..-M- - - ' lL,. In Conclusion HIS book does not represent the work of one man, but of many. We wish to thank all those who have contributed to make this book what it is. Miss Ina Wooten, as Staff Artist, has overseen her department admirably, and contributed many designs, on which her name does not appear. We wish to thank her for her contribution to this book. To Mr. R. E. Brown we are also indebted for some of the athletic cartoons, and also some humorous sketches which appear in the snapshot album. Mr. Geo. Darsey has given us several good cartoons, some of which appear but others of which we did not have space to print. Mr. John Cook has submitted several drawings, among them the Junior cartoon. But to Mr. Leslie Boone do we owe by far the most thanks, for he has submitted some twenty-five cartoons, more than three-fourths of which are used in this book. To him is awarded the $5.00 prize for the best cartoon. Only one or two short stories were handed in, and due, both to the fact that we lacked several pages of having enough to use all the available material, and also partly because we thought you would rather look at pictures than read stories, we have omitted all short stories from this year ' s annual. However, we are indebted to Mr. Roy Jobson, Mr. George Gibson, and Mr. Leslie Boone for all the poems which appear in this volume. The $5.00 prize for the best poem has been awarded to Mr. Jobson. And now we wish to thank Prof. Pegues for his frequent criticisms and suggestions, which have been solicited from time to time. And then, to Mr. Brewer we are greatly indebted, because he has so graciously given us a convenient room in the hall to use as a Sou ' wester office. Finally, we wish to thank, most heartily, the entire student body for the unusually excellent support they have given the staff at all times. When we called for material, they have responded ; when we asked for your pictures to be made at a certain time, you were always there promptly; when we needed the money, you have paid your bills on time. And now, as we cease work on this enormous task, it is with a sigh of relief, and yet with a sigh of regret. For this book has been the center of our whole 277 life this entire year, and our one ambition has been to give you the best book we knew how to give you. If we were to put out another book, we already know where and how we could make improvements. If the 1915 Sou ' wester meets your expectations and enables you to help recall one happy year of college life, then we are well repaid for the labor spent upon your book ; but if it does not, we are heartily sorry, for our task has been a thankless one. If you are just a chronic knocker, then we trust you will have the pleasure of getting out a Sou ' wester yourself sometime, just to see how easy it is to do the job. K. E. Barnhart, Editor-in-Chief.
