Such is the great privilege of Dr. C. C. Cody. When he came to Southwestern University, nearly forty years ago, he at once displayed those qualities and qualifications, which, persisted in, have made him the most conspicuous and best loved man in the College life of Texas. Coming to Texas at that time, he had innumerable and tempting opportunities to eng age in lucrative business, and, such was his native financial skill, that he could easily have amassed a fortune. But the dominating passion of his life was not to make money but to make men. Nature made him a gentleman, the grace of God made him a christian, education and wide reading gave him culture, and Southwestern University gave him a congenial and fruitful field in which to pursue his high ambitions. He endorsed, heartily, the ideas and ideals originally set up for Southwestern by her noble founder, and so persistently set himself to the task of having these ideals exhibited in the life of each student, that he himself became their complete embodiment ; so that when anyone saw Dr. Cody, in the class room, crossing the campus, walking the street, speaking from the platform, or dispensing gracious hospitality in his home, he saw Southwestern University incarnate. In pursuance of his ideals, — the making of men — he never wavered and never seemed to weary. The six hours a day spent in the class room were but a small part of his labor. Of the ten thousand students who passed through Southwestern during bis active connection with it he knew every one by name, and so won and held their confidence and esteem that none ever hesitated to come to him for help in any diffi- cult or perplexing situation. And no one ever found him too busy or too tired to give an interested and sympathetic hearing. He was constantly striving to find an easy passage to some boy ' s heart that he might influence him for good. Of this intense intelligent and unselfish service there are today living monuments all over Texas. From Galveston to Dalhart, from Texarkana to El Paso are honorable men and charming women who were boys or girls at old South western and all of them have words of love and appreciation for this some time teacher and all time friend, Dr. Cody. JOHN M. BARCUS. For the warm cooperation accorded us by the Student Body, the ' 16 Sou ' Wester Staff wishes to express its thanks. We have tried to give you a book worthy of Southwestern and a book that would truly reflect the happenings of the good year 1915 and 1916 at our Alma Mater. The measure of our success in this task is for you to judge. ©®?C ©HE Tk niversi ilv.

Those who are interested in these things may go to WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICA; to his published books and magazine ar- ticles ;to his numerous friends and acquain- tances and inquire what he believes and what he has done. Here we are concerned with a somewhat more intimate picture ; a picture of our friend, counsellor and leader. As our counsellor, Dr. Bishop holds out a strong Christian manhood. Day and night, in college hall and on campus, on platform or in private conversation, we find our President pleading for the best and most vital scholarship, friendship, work, play, ' ability and action. As we teach, as we buy and sell, as we sit in churches or walk thru slums, as we study or play; everywhere and under all circumstances as we meet our fellows and do out- work, we do well to follow this plain, vital Christian life and ideal which our counsellor holds out to us by precept and example. We students and young people, whose interests and ideals are yet in the making, whose struggles are as yet shielded from the uncompromising gi e and take of the market place; will an older man, a busy man with large responsibilities, temptations and fights be our friend? Our President is such a man. With stacks of letters on his desk; with many meetings to attend, with much work to do and supervise, with the eyes of thousands upon thous- ands upon him as the chief executive of a great college, with only twenty-four hours to spend each day, this man — and only a man, forsooth — frequently comes to us in our work and play, in our troubles and in our joys, in our lives as students and citizens to advise us and to help us. We do well to remember that we have such a, friend. We are spending or have spent much time, money, and energy in South- western. For better or worse we have helped to make her what she is today and much of our life and character has been moulded by her. After all, the years we spend within her halls are important years and what we learn to do and do do there will in large measure gauge our future life. Do we follow a worthy leader? for some six years our President has stood before us and with able executive ability, keen foresight, sincere and earnest hard work, and an unbending trust in the ultimate triumph of our cause has sought to lead us all into such activity that our family and friends and acquaintances would say with one accord, I believe in you. We do well to follow such a counsellor, friend and leader. R. BLISS WOODS. 1 1 Dr. Albert Shipp Pegues Dean of Southwestern University It takes a poet to teach poetry, and that is why school boys, who are by virtue of their youthfulness poets, understand the Leather Stocking Tales, whereas sophisti- cated pundits patronize them. A teacher who is good ' ' will provoke from those students wno are capable of hero-worship emulation — not of his eccentricities, as L.r.l Frskine incited how many sentiment- al young lawyers to wear long white gloves into the jury room ; but of his excellencies, as Afcelard drew the eager minded youth of Prance, even of all Europe, to follow hi in, for wisdom ' s sake, from university to university. And if a teacher is a poet, a hero, you will find the poet chronicled in the student talk at the dinner table; if he arouses interest in his subject, as every true poet and hero — the two are ever largely identical — must arouse, there will be violent conflict of ideas. Around the dinner tallies and in the speculative rooms of congregation there are in Georgetown this evening, I dare say, warm discussion of English literature and the man teaching it — even as there were in the sweet days of another generation of collegians. In memory I always think of Professor Pegues as reading to the Class Chaucer or Wordsworth, or any poet. And as he read, we would sometimes look away over the hills stretching to the every luring South, and often we would look at his eyes, eloquent witli the drama and poetry of his words. Had he done nothing, though, but make us listen to his rare reading, he had not been of such worth as a teacher. He made us more than passive listeners; he filled us with a positive ambition to know and to imaginatively comprehend the facts of what is written. No mere dilletante impressions in that instruc- tion ! Here is enthusiasm for a subject born out of a fulness of knowledge of that subject — scholarship that is spiritual — whole scholarship. Whoever failed as many students as Professor Pegues? Yet whoever made so many students sleep with bokes at their beddes heed ? And many who came to get but credits remained to love the high and beautiful. 1 2 Perhaps the most admirable quality of this contagious enthusiasm is that it is curbed to enter into the performance of the endless drudgery con- nected with the teaching of English. It has not been many years since the head of the department at Southwestern taught practically all the Freshman English, Sophomore English, and one or two advanced courses — courses always full. Nevertheless the profusion of required themes and examinations were always carefully read. 1 always read everything required to be written, said Professor Pegues once. 1 remember that one busy commencement he told me that in my examination 1 had erred in using raised for reared. There is a certain pride, even awesomeness in the man — somehow, to me, connotative of Daniel Webster — that makes him stand aloof. Yet I can well see his fitness for this later office of dean. One year when he sacrificed to superintend Mood Hall he would read the exhilerating ballads of Kipling to the fellows that were sick. And 1 know of one youth who was raised up from his bed by the roses sent by him and Mrs. Pegues. (It were hard to think of him long without thinking too of Mrs. Pegues.) Poet, lover and philosopher a strong man of common sense, fierce in the advocation of principle, catholic in taste, a fine gentleman, eloquent, as inflexible in attendance to unadorned duty as he requires of those under him — he stands for a combination of refinement and thoroughness that tran- scends kultur.

To give a list of all these loyal sons or to chronicle all the happenings of self-sacrifice and de- votion which they have performed would be the task of a much larger book than this. There is, therefore, no claim to completeness. Southwestern University has its interesting customs, traditions and historical background peculiar to its long standing as a religious college. What reminiscences the old Prep building brings to the students of bygone days! What fancies are awakened in the youthful minds of present students when they look upon its ivy-clad walls! Here the University had its beginning and here the sainted Mood laid the foun- dations for the Central Educational Institution of Texas Methodism and Humbly invok- ing the guidance and approval of Almighty God, and with a single eye to His glory, he consecrated Southwestern University to higher Christian education. THE EARLY YEARS OF SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Southwestern University was formally opened October 6, 1873 in what is now the Preparatory Building. This building was unfinished, on the interior, only two stories high, and contained six rooms and an auditorium. The Faculty, the first year, consisted of three men, so this space was so much more than was needed, that Dr. Mood, had two of the lower rooms plastered and finished, moved his family into them and lived here for a year or two. The enrollment the first year, 1873-4, was 33; the second year, 63; the third year, 78; the fourth year, 103; the fifth year, 109, making a total for these five years of 386. If no name were counted more than once, the net enrollment would be less than 200, as some of the students had been in attendance for four years, and most of them had been enrolled more than one session. I entered the Faculty in the year 1878-79, or the sixth session from the beginning, and as many of the first students were from Georgetown, or its vicinity, there are less than 100 stu- dents who have enrolled in Southwestern University from its beginning up to the present session, whom I have not, in some way, personally touched, only three of the living graduates whose diplomas I did not sign, and not a professor or ex-professor with whom I was not well acquainted, having served the institution with all but two. When I reached Georgetown, more than 37 years ago, a slow January rain was falling. There were no sidewalks in those days, the mud was black and deep, and when it rained it became, as they say in Arkansas, gormy. My first sensation, on stepping from the train, was that of disgust, for I found that the mud, rapidly accumulated on my feet with every step I took, and would not be shaken off. 27 When Dr. Mood greeted me, his first question was Well, how do you like Texas? I replied, Oh, the mud! the mud! He ansewred at once: But, there is corn and cotton and wheat and oats in this mud. And so at the start I found that he was an optimist. The first chapel service 1 attended, a young, rosy cheeked, round faced student, dressed in round-about coat and gray trousers presided at the organ and led the singing, i soon learned that his name was John Barcus. He selected and announced the hymn, and when Professor Bryce turned to it, I noticed that he was convulsed. There had been a fight, that morning, between two of the prominent youngsters of the lower classes, and Bryce had heard about it. I saw the reason when I turned to the hymn in the little thick song-book we used, and read the opening lines: Let dogs delight, to bark and bite, For ' tis their nature to. Fighting was not uncommon in those days, and while fighting was always very strongly disapproved, it was then generally agreed that there were a good many things worse than fighting, provided no serious damage was meant or incurred. In these early days the typical East Texas boy was very different from the typical West Texas boy. The former came from the farm and the latter from the ranch. The farm boy was generally dependent. He would come directly from the railroad station to the President, or some professor, armed with a letter of introduction, and would ask for help in securing a boarding place. Later he would want help and advice about the course of study, and suggestions about matters of behavior, associations and college rules. The ranch boy, before the days of wire fences, when it was the rule to ride lines, was self-reliant and resourceful. When he would report to the President ' s office, and Dr. Mood would ask him if he wanted help in securing a boarding house, he would reply, briskly, I have arranged all that, Doctor. Then when asked about his course of study the answer would be, I wrote for a catalogue and have all that planned. His work on the big ranches had made him alert, the only trouble with him was the difficulty of holding him in college through the four-year course, as the call of the ranch was often too strong to be resisted. Dr. Mood offered, among other studies, a course in elementary moral philosophy especially for the Freshmen, which he taught himself. He wanted to reach and in- fluence this class in every way he could, A few days after the opening, in calling the roll, lie would ask each young man, two questions, Have you a Bible? Have you a pistol? and insist upon candid answers. He would urge each young man who had no Bible, to at once, supply himself with one, and each member of the class who had a pistol to bring it to him and allow him to keep it until the close of the school, as there could be no use for it as long as the student remained in school. He generally obtained good results from this lecture. 28 It was in September, 1880, that after Dr. Mood had made the usual call to the class, Eugene Baker appeared at the President ' s office with his six-shooter and with some show of pride said: Here is my gun, Doctor, handed it to him. The Doctor, looking at it askance, inquired Is it loaded? Yes sir, Baker answered. Dr. Mood, with some show of alarm, hastily stepped back and said: Mr. Baker, take the loads out, and then bring it tome. Eugene stepped over to the window, tossed it up and reaching out with the pistol, there was bang! bang! bang! bang. He handed the pistol to Dr. Mood and said with an air of satisfaction, The loads are all out, Doctor. It is perhaps needless to say that Baker was a West Texas boy. Every year, in the early eighties, witnessed a growth in the attendance of students as well as in number in the Faculty. In 1881 the third story and mansard roof was added to the old college building, and much ado was made over this visible mark of progress. The first college periodical was issued monthly and called The Alamo and yan Jacinto Monthly. A name too long, but nothing shorter could be agreed upon that would include both literary societies. The first number, issued in November, 188::, was gotten out by a committee composed of R. A. John, James R. Hamilton, H. L,. Mosely and W. E. Hawkins of the Alamo Society, and B. L. Davis, R. E. Brooks, W. D. Coats and C. D. Smith of the San Jacinto Society. From the committee of eight, six have developed into very prominent lawyers, whose names are known throughout Texas. W. E. Hawkins, now one of the Associate Judges in the Supreme Court of Texas, was very active in getting out the first number, and he gathered to gether the sheets of the first copy as they came from the press. He probably has this copy yet, as he proposed to keep it always as a souvenir. Among the articles contributed the very first year were: Religious Education, the Safeguard of the Nation, by John M. Barcus, now a Doctor of Divinity, and one of the prominent preachers of the State; An Age of Progress, by W. E. Hawkins; Texas and Her Sons, by R. L. Henry, now a prominent member of Congress, and a candidate for the United States Senate; Life as Influenced by Temperature, by B. L. Davis, now a leading lawyer of Corsicana; The Spirit of Discovery, by W. C. McKamy, now an ex-State Senator and well known business man of Dallas; Ideality, by R. A. John, now a prominent corporation lawyer of Houston; Have an Aim in Life, by C. K. Lee, now a Railroad Lawyer of Fort Worth; Who Shall Lead Us? by Frank Andrews, now a leading member of one of the strongest law firms of Houston; The Progress of Mind, by R. E. Brooks, now one of the most prominent and successful business men of Houston and an Ex-District Judge; My Country, My God, by James R. Hamilton, now a leading lawyer in Central Texas, and a successful district attorney. In the third of a century since this first volume was published this college monthly, now called Southwestern University Magazine, has not failed to make its monthly appearance throughout each college year and many of the brightest minds of Texas 29 have contributed original articles to its pages, and the above list of subjects, and names that have become prominent, could be extended indefinitely. Declamation was greatly stressed, daily in the chapel, weekly in the society halls, and annually in the contests. All the old students remember how Will McKamy and Bob Knight, in successive years spoke My Country! My Mother!! My God!!! or Shall Our Laurels Wither? that, perhaps was introduced by M. L. Bateman, and became so popular that Dr. Mood denounced it as a piece of empty, oratorical bombast and barred it from further appearances upon the college stage. In those days, as commencement approached, the secluded places along the banks of the San Gabriel were constantly echoing with college oratory as the boys practiced for the coming contests. It was a little later that Sam Thomas was reciting Munsey ' s Lost Soul in a dense thicket just beyond the limits of North Georgetown, at a twilight hour, when a wagon load of kind hearted country folk returning home, hearing him shrieking through the gathering darkness Lost! Lost! rushed frantically to his rescue. Of course Sam enjoyed their discomfiture. In those early days a great deal of interest was taken in the debating societies. The champion debate between representatives of the Alamo and San Jacinto Societies was the most prominent feature of the whole college year. It would be interesting, if the limits of this paper allowed, to give the weighty questions, such as Shall the Tariff be Abolished? and like themes, and the names of the debaters, from year to year. Time and the fruitage has shown that the Faculty and the students worked hard and to some purpose in these early years. Occasionally there were bright things said and done that were not all together in harmony with the situation, as the following paper handed in thirty-three years ago, written during the hour assigned to an exam- ination in mathematics. The writer is one of the brightest and loveliest women that ever attended Southwestern University, and in spite of her dislike for mathematics, she has splendidly filled her sphere in life, and today is filling the honorable estate of grand- mother: Can I ever forget this Examination? Not while time lends his fleet wings to me, How we sat in the school room this evening With faces disconsolate to see. On the b lackboard are hideous questions About secants and tangents and sines And Mercy knows that all the answers Have fled from our terrified minds. There Ada and Fannie and Ella — With ink all over their clothes, And Maggie, the Regent ' s bright daughter With beautiful hair and straight nose. And Linnie, a Professor ' s sister, — Surely her ' s is an enviable lot, With her front hair all done up in papers, And the rest in a comical knot. 30 And Fannie, a Professor ' s intended With eyes of cerulean blue, Her bearing, majestic and graceful, And a hole in the sole of her shoe. And Maggie, with peepers the brownest, Her pen resting over her ear Seems lost in the big unit circle, With functions and formulae near. I sit with my pen clutched, the wildest, My hair scattered over the floor, — In despair, I ' ve unwittingly mixed it With the trash ' tween my seat and the door. Forgive me, this once more, I implore you, — I remember the time in the past That you would forgive me and help me, And yet I break promises, alas! C. C. CODY.

Dutch is what might be called a civil- ized dutchman. He is thoroughly civilized, however, and not at all dangerous except in the presence of the fair sex. Since coming to Southwestern he has dropped his dutch and now speaks United States fluently.

He declares that it was six years ago that he landed at Southwestern. He has spent a year or two teaching since that time and re- turned to graduate with the ' 16 Class. In athletics he has gained a record worthy of note as well as in other activities. ARRIE BARRETT, A. B., Anson, Texas. A lovable character- sincere. -entirely lovable and Alethean; Y. W. C. A. Arrie is one of our prodigals who returned to complete her course after some practical experience in the class room. She has distinguished herself this year by winning Prof. Moore ' s commendation From time to time. FRED BISHOP, A. B., Georgetown, Texas. The secret of success is a constancy to purpose. Whether purposely or otherwise Fred has held himself aloof from the members of the class. In fact during his Senior year he spent the greater part of his time in doing correspondence work. Although Fred ' s personal appearance is nothing out of the ordinary; in fact it might be termed ordinary, still when one enters into conversation with him one is startled by his wide scope of knowledge — especially in the field of agriculture (please note dis- tinction between field of agriculture and ag- ricultural field). As regards Farmers ' Un- ions he is the last authority, 1 17 LESLIE A. BOONE, A. B., Corpus Christi, Texas. The light that never was on sea or land. The consecration and the poet ' s dream.

Owing to the natural reserve and inherent dignity of Sir Roger we hesitate to roast Honey Boy (the appellation of Senior girl). It has been known all the year that he was the National board of censorship for the Sou ' wester, but only recently it has become known that he has been so bored with part of it that he turned it down. In spite of his modest mien many honors have been thrust upon him. LUCILE CHAPMAN, A. B., Leander, Texas.

A very thoughtful student — careful not to overdo it. Pi Kappa Alpha; Glee Club 13-14-15-16; T. B. of B. P.

He also made himself famous by his su- perior loyalty to the Annex and we have even heard that his fickle heart is like a Columbia boarding house — there ' s always room for one more. GEO. E. DARSEY, JR., Grapeland, Texas. Take him all in all we shall never see his like again. Sawbones is the only one of his kind in captivity. He was one of the contestants in the Ugliest Man contest, but unfortunately was defeated. As organizer, ramrod and general business manager of the various Hard Nine Organizations he has placed stars in his crown. In Sociology he is adviser to Dr. Gran- berry and has the gift of shaking his head when the wrong answer is given. l 20 MARY DAVIDSON, A. B., Monticello, Ark. Who scatters around wit and humor at will; Whose daily ' bon mots ' half a. column might fill. Delta Delta Delta; University Honor Coun- cil; Woman ' s Honor Council; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Although she came from Arkansas one would never know it. It was in the fall of 1915 that Mary land- ed at Southwestern and now we are convinc- ed she is in love with Texas. Since she starred in Breezy Point as Ashrael and in Public Speaking Class Mary has about decided to go on the stage. This is to be seen later. NELIA FRANCES DAVIDSON, A. B., Flores- ville, Texas. Life is so short and love is all, I ' m think- ing: ' Phi Mu. To a stranger Nelia is a very quiet, sober, dignified maiden; to those who know her this is the very much on the surface. Nelia has a poetical soul, doting on Poems of Pasion and Love Sonnets. Each year she has a new love affair and every time it threatens to be Something really serious, My Dear ; however, those acquainted with her wiles know that — It ' s just a fancy of the skitish mind of youth. that comes and goes with the spring.

Child Harold has distinguished himself by his dry wit and good disposition. Du has taken an active part in college and no doubt he will be a great business man but we will tip our hats to him who has ac- complished the feat of graduating without the use of textbooks.

' A 1 MARY DUNLAP, Voice, Hereford, Texas. -Her voice changed like a bird ' s; There grew more of the music and less of of the words. Delta Delta Delta: Basket Ball, 12- ' 13- •14- ' 15. Mary is a girl with a smile. If her eyes only were visible you would know she was smiling. If you could see nothing but her mouth you would still realize that she was smiling. Tho she has been absent since Christmas, she still lives in the hearts of her classmates thru her charming personal- ity. LEE E. EDENS, A. B., Bertram, Texas. Who never knew misfortune and most heartily did laugh. San Jacinto; President of San Jacinto Lit- erary Society, ' 16. As the evening shadows were falling one September eve four years ago, the entire population of Bertram (23) gathered around the little station to see their fairest son take his departure for College. Since that time Lee has acquired the knowledge of vaporizing for the Education Classes and giving science reports. FRED FRANCIS, A. B., Lampasas, Texas. My mind to me a kingdom is. Alamo; Pres. Senior Class, ' 15- ' 16; Brooks Prize Debate 15- ' 16; Pres. Alamo Literary Society, ' 15- ' 16. Fred is a social possibility without the in- clination and also an unknown quantity not s abject to chemical analysis. On warm Spring days he prefers to follow the teachings of Isaac Walton rather than Pegues, Davidson and Granbery. Reward offered to find out the cause of the social awakening. CORNELIA GAYDEN, Groesbeck, Texas. She has found a work, a life purpose; and she will follow it cheerfully. Graduate Scarritt Bible and Training School 1915. Member Southwestern University Scholar- ship Society. Cornelia came to us from Scarritt Bible and Training School. In future years we will be especially glad to hear the name of one of our class mates among those who are achieving great success in another land. She has been faithful to every task — but once she did cut her prep class to attend Senior meeting! 1 2 U R. B. GILBREATH, A. B., Columbia, Ten- nessee.

A foreigner — from Tennessee. Bob must have been the man who invented work. He is always at the bottom of the deepest pro- blems. IRENE SHANNON HENDERSON, A. B., Georgetown, Texas. Makes you look into the future and ask yourself, what destiny will be hers. Student Assistant in English. Member Southwestern University Scholarship So- ciety. When she was a Freshman Miss Sanders often drilled her in walking on the balls of her feet and in lowering her voice but since then Irene has fallen from grace and we wonder if there is any hope for her. A. G. HOYL, A. B., Decatur, Texas. Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; For ' tis a throne where honor may be crowned Sole monarch of the Universal earth.

For four years Archie has done nothing but play. As a Freshman he began to play track and won the hurdles. As a Sophomore and Junior he strengthened the Foot Ball and Basket Ball teams. In the latter part of his College career, however, his aesthetic nature got the mastery and he became a mainstay of the Orchestra and sole rival of the stray cats around Mood Hall. WARREN H. HULL, A.

Never in history has an artist been so enthusiastically received as was Monsieur Warren H. Hull. He received his earliest training in Southwestern University Choir, Georgetown, Texas. It was here, that he acquired his remarkable wind. . 123 MARY J. IRVINE, A. B., Georgetown, Texas. S7ie hath a will of her own and can take care of herself. Mary has made herself known best to those in her section at Chapel. Between her con- scientiousness and Prof. Tinsley ' s threats Pew 31 is always crowded. Mary is thorough in all her work and has won much admiration. W. W. JACKSON, A. B., Mansfield, Texas. Who, if he rise to station of command, Rises by open means.

Winsome Willie should have his picture made in full dress suit in his Freshman year — some of the girls have decided he is good looking (in his picture). He has been one of our debators and, in fact, he has taken part in many of the best things in college. E. G. JENKINS, A. B., Bryan, Texas. It is not position but mind I want. Phi Delta Theta; Assistant Manager in Track ' 14- ' 15; Vice-President Senior Class; Pan Hellenic Council ' 15- ' 16. Jenks made his debut into the Senior Class when he assumed the office of vice- president. Since then he has been a loyal Senior. For four years Jenks has continued to win friends on account of his good disposi- tion and pl easant smile, which never wears off. When he has become a prominent physi- cian we will be even prouder of him. IDA MAE LEE, A. B„ Bastrop, Texas. Her judgement good, her ways concise; she goes it all alone. She listens to her friends advice, then goes and takes Tier own. Clio; Clio President ' 14- ' 15; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ' 14-T5; Y. W. C. A. President ' 15- ' 16 Lecture Committee ' lb- ' 16; Honor Council of Woman ' s Self Government Association ' 14- ' 15. Ida Mae has always been known for her ability to catch a joke readily (?) She got by on her brother ' s reputation during her Freshman year but her record for the re- maining years may be read in her honors . 1 24 BEN LEIGH, A. B. Temple, Texas. He ' s a philosopher; nothing disquiets him, nothing dismays. Alamo; Inter-Collegiate Debate ' 15-16; Senior Intermediate Debate ' 14- ' 15; Pres- ident of Junior Class ' 15. Words cannot describe Ben. To understand him fully one must see him and study him, and when one leaves him he is none the wiser. Ben ' s favorite pastime is the reviewing of old text-books and with the lore found therein he breaks up many a new-fangled theory. Naturally of an inquisitive mind he asks more questions and gets fewer ans- wers than any man in College, Prof. Dav- idson not excepted. J. L. LYONS, A. M., Glade Springs, Virginia. A man is the architect of his fortune and he has already draughed the plans for his air castles.

Virginia, has the honor of being the native state of this senior. He is reported to have said that he came all way down here to escape Sleepy but he was the first man he met when he arriv- ed at Southwestern. In spite of this fact he has repeatedly made distinction in history. FREDERICK ARTHUR MANCHESTER. A. B., Georgetown, Texas 7 may not he handsome but I ' m darn good looking. Kappa Sigma; Alamo; Southwestern Uni versity Scholarship Society; Der Verein; Glee Club ' 14- ' 15; Pianist ' 15- ' 16. Frederick plays the piano for the Glee Club and the dickens everywhere else. In spite of the fact that he spends half his time in class using the well known blue pad and pencil he somehow manages to make distinctions in his courses. By virtue of this he belongs to the Scholarship Society. SUDIE MARTIN, A. B., Georgetown, Texas. Nothing is impossible to diligence and skill Sudie has been an unloyal Senior because she cut our class meeting to have a date but we still claim her as one of our num- ber and perhaps there is some hope for her conversion. 1 2 5 ANNIE McCLENDON, A. B., Ben Arnold Texas. So firm, so strong, yet so refined. Clio; Honor Council of Woman ' s Self Gov- ernment Association 15- ' 16; Commencement President of Clio ' 16. Annie hails from Ben Arnold (search the map) and she declares its a great place. For four years she has looked forward to the time when she could get her a school and teach History — and now her aim is be- coming realized. Dutchess Ann has made a record during her college course that is worthy and she will make her future a success. L. C. MERREM, A. B.. Shiner, Texas. With all the requisites for a successful man — success will have to hustle to keep away from him. San Jacinto; Freshman-Sophomore Decla- mation Contest, ' 12- ' 13; Intermediate Orator, ' 13 ' 14; Intermediate Debate, ' 14- ' 15; Junior Orator ' 14- ' 15; Student Assistant ' 15-16: Student Instructor, ' 15- ' 16; Brooks Prize Debate, ' 15- ' 16: Intercollegiate Orator, ' 15- ' 16. L. C. has been so busy developing his or- atorical powers since he has been at South- western that he has had no time nor in- clination to help wear smooth some of the rocks on the Annex walk. EDNA ALLENE MITCHELL, A. B., Flores- ville, Texas. ••Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll. Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. Alpha Delta Pi. After spending a year at S. A. F. C. Mitch came to Southwestern to finish her education. Her reputation was made for her when she arrived because she happened to be one of the Floresville aggregation. Mitch is not very much interested in school teaching, she thinks she knows of something far more pleasant! GLADYS MARGARET NOWLIN, A. B., Georgetown, Texas. With a light heart, gay and free. A. D. Pi, Student Assistant in French ' 14- ' 15; Southwestern Scholarship Society. Gladys has shown her loyalty to the ' 16 Class by coming to one of its parties, at least. In other ways she has been more loyal. She has helped to raise the standard through her high scholarship and we are justly proud of her. 1 2 6 ROWENA ONDERDONK, A. B., San Anto- nio, Texas.

It was thought that she was only an athlete but she has taken an interest and participated in other activities. In her Senior year Billie was elected as our May Queen. ROBERTA PARTAIN, A.

Among many things she excells in, languages are pre-eminent and should German become the universal language, Roberta, would have no need to be embarassed. RUTH PIPER, A. B., Georgetown, Texas. My creed is, he is safe who does Ms best. Scholarship Society. Ruth is one of our class who reminds her- self to keep away from Senior social func- tions. Her record in the class room has been among the best and with her ability she will be a successful teacher in years to come. MORGAN HAMPTON RICE, A. B., Moody, Texas. Good natured with a smile that laps over twice and buttons behind. Barb; San Jacinto; Y. M. C. A. He belongs to the press club as all through college his long suit has been to press suits. Now several boys are threatening to bring breach-of-promise suits to him but he pays no attention to this rumor. We are told that (Mr. Rice) is a hard working young man. 1 27 RUBIDICK RICHARD, A. B., Temple, Texas. Of temper sweet, of yielding will Of firm, yet placid mind. Member of Clio Literary Society; Y. W. C. A. Rubidick was known in her Freshman year by her little feet and after four years her reputation remains the same. Her feet beneath her petticoat like little mice stole in and out. The smallness of her statue does not pre- vent her heart from being large and her brain active. ROY E. SEALE, A. B.. Floresville, Texas. -Not a man of iron but of live oak. Kappa Sigma.

There are moments in the lives of all great men in which the future opens as a door and reveals to them a glimpse of their life ' s purpose. Such a moment must have oc- curred to Roy when he left Floresville four years ago. In track and pole vaulting Roy has excelled as well as in other lines of work. He has won friends through his good humor and pleasant disposition. ANNA BELL SEALY, A. B., Temple, Texas. Quietude and kindness on all occasions. Clio; Y. W. C. A. If silence is golden Anna ' s fortune is made for she is a firm believer in the conserva- tion of words. In fact she says so little that we do not know much about her. RUTH SIMMONS, A. B., Lampasas, Texas. And those about her shall read the perfect nays of honor. Woman ' s Honor Council ' 15 - ' l(j. Clio; Student Assistant in Chemistry Fall Term ' 15. She didn ' t know where her talent was until she passed in Sophomore English, then she decided to peruse Literature. She has been one of the faithful members of the Honor Council and she is always ready for hard tasks because she has the perseverance. 1 -A.H H. G. SIMPSON, A. B., Colorado, Texas.

Homer has been in school four years but he declares that the Summer School ' 15 was the happiest period of his life. He aspires to be a civil engineer and we except him 1o be as successful there as he has been in his college course. W. M. SLAGLE, A. B., Troup, Texas, A hard working, industrious, God fear- ing man. Barb; Alamo; Student Instructor in Math- ematics ' 13- ' 44; President Alamo ' 16; Assistant Editor Senior Daily ' 16; Chemistry Club. It has been suggested that if the Lord smiled when he made some people he must have laughed aloud when he made this one. Although good looks are not a foremost characteristic he has many stalwart quali- ties. Slag is one of the industrious hard working members of our class. At present he is a member of the Senior Staff and feels deeply the weight of the responsibility. CAROL SMITH, A. B., Humble, Texas. Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low. An excellent thing in woman. Pug is an old settler who goes to school at intervals. She has been fortunate enough to have Senior privileges for two years — the main r eason for this was to be able to be a member of the ' 16 Class. During her college career Puggie has had varied experiences. At present she is deal- ing in two important things — getting special delivery letters on Sunday and training her voice. She says she is going to teach next year but some wonder if she will not take another and more important degree. VERA SMITH, A. B., Sagerton, Texas. It seemed that from her very presence sunshine streamed. Delta Delta Delta; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Tennis Club; Clio Literary Society; I. P. A. Cabinet; Die Verein. Vera was known when she reached George- town as Mildred ' s sister. Vera is still young and as she goes out into greater fields of activities perhaps she will learn: There ' s a gift beyond the reach of art, of being eloquently silent. l 29 J. L. SPIVEY, A.

He has filled responsible offices during his college career and we predict a prosperous future for him, and — , erhaps he will grow. ANNIE SMITH, A. B., Merkle, Texas. A happy genius is a gift of Nature. Quiet and unassuming though she is, An- nie ranks high in College. As proof of this she has been elected to membership in the Scholarship Society. As a Society butterfly she hasn ' t flutter- ed enough to alarm the authorities at the present writing, but in spite of this serious handicap we can confidently predict success for her. ELIZABETH A. SMYRL, A. B., El Paso. Texas. She hath a wisdom that doth guide her valor to act in safety. Clio; Y. W. C. A.

Smyrl has tried several governments — Ireland, Mexico, United States, etc., but she says she likes self-government best. True Irish wit has been one of her re- deeming features for four years, even in her Senior year she can hardly assume a digni- fied air except as president of the Honor Council. HATTIE STANFORD, A.

She is ready To warn, to comfort and command and those who do without her next year will realize that, none but herself can he her parallel 1 30 J. C. TUCKER, A. B., Garland Texas.

Tuck has found his calling — calling at the Annex. He is as faithful in this as he is in collecting Senior dues — although we admit that the latter may be far more pleas- ant. He had slight propensity for studying until he entered the English 7 class when like true greatness, it was thrust upon him. RUTH STORY. A. B., Plainview, Texas. Straight for her is the path of duty And she always marked it a path of beauty. Clio; Y. W. C. A.; Senior Staff; Press Club; Student Assistant in History. A Clarendon graduate and a school teacher! Ruth has spent only one year at South- western and during that time she has be- come one of Prof. Moore ' s star pupils — she always knows when to laugh and how much. She is one of those care-free girls who make life worth while. F. H. TUCKER, A. B., Nacogdoches, Texas. Can he seen at a glance — think this over.

You wouldn ' t suspect it but they say he sneaks off and goes calling every Sunday night. Pink expects to be a surgeon and if he continues to be as persistant in his work as he has been in the laboratories he will be quite successful. MARVIN WIEMERS, A. B., Mason, Texas. My son. beware of the Germans. Basket Ball, ' 14- ' 15; Foot Ball, ' 14- ' 15; San Jacinto, Verein. Marvin has several manias but the chief one is Germania One of his other manias is athletics. At foot ball he was always in there with the old ginger and fight and in Basket Ball he was a sure and dependable man. 1 3 1 Branches: Burns Literary Smith Captain Campbee Governor Anglin Fisherman Francis Kings Carter Black Ink Native Home: Mistletoe: Allene Mitchel Edmond Clabaugh Rowena Onderdonk Gladys Nowlin J.

So profi- cient has he become in the art that he can often conceal the absence of thought by a superfluity of words. He has distinguished himself in various ways while in college. As a Freshman he was noted for his green- ness; as a Soph — an organizer of Kangaroo Courts and various other dangerous enter- prises; as a Junior — a silver tongued orator; as a Senior, ramrod of the University and promoter of Beauty Contests.

BURTON RIX Head of Atliletics ii Southwestern. No eulogy need be written of Mr. Rix. His work speaks for itself. During his I wo years as head of Athletics at Southwestern there has been a steady improvement : ' .: our teams. Last fall, with only one letter man returning, many people thought thei r was little chance for a good team this year. What could be expected from a bunch of light men who had never seen service in College Football? However these people did tiot know Rix as they know him now. They did not know that out of a bunch of green Freshmen he could develop a team I bat would win a majority of its games from the best teams in the state. Southwestern is proud of Rix. 1 60 1 6 1 Football Schedule for 1915 October 12 — Southwestern 3, Hendrix College 0, at Georgetown October 23 — Southwestern 0, Baylor University 10, at Georgetown.

Southwestern has had few men who were better ground gainers than Marsh, and his punting compared favorably with any seen on the Texas gridiorns this year. As Captain of the liilti team he should lead an aggrega- tion that will be hard to stop. PAT QUINN Right Halfback Pat was one of the most efficient and competent men on the eleven. His experience with Houston High School put him in line for a steady place on any college team. He is fast and one ot the best ground gainers on the line plunges and end runs the university has known for a number of years. We look forward to Pat ' s return next year. E. W. BODE Left Halfback Undoubtedly the fastest man on tin team — Bode was dangerous in a brok- en field. He hit his real stride in the last few games of the season. After seeing his brother play such remarka- ble foot ball in the Scrub - Cherokee game he put forth a greater effort to bring up his part of the family ' s rep- utation. Bode made a letter under Snipes in 1912 and his return this year was met with much rejoicing in ath letic circles. He has gained many- yards for the Gold and Black by his speed. Especially can he keep them guessing on returning punts. 1 6 4 Football Personnel ( ' . C. VAUGHN Left Tackle Vaughn is one of the Coronal trio who came to us this year. He was a very valuable man, being equally de- pendable on the offensive and defen- sive. We expect him to develop lots of speed by the opening of the 1916 season and with another year under Rix he should develop into a linesman of note. T. LEE Center T may be light, but to watch him break through the line and tackle the man with the ball you would not think so. He was very accurate in passing the ball, but his long suite was break- ing up forward passes and recovering fumbles. His ability to keep his eye on the ball all the time and to follow up the plays won for him the distinc- tion of making the first touchdown of the season. ARTHUR KNICKERBOCKER Fullback Everybody calls him Knick, but the real name he has earned on the gridiron is Grit. ' He got better all the season and in the last few games played a high class of ball. The reason for Knick ' s remarkable improvement is simple enough. He has the ability for downright hard work and plenty of it. In fact he enjoys it and when a coach finds that sort of a man he usually makes something out of him. 1 65 Football Personnel JOHN HARRIS Left Guard Johnnie is the biggest man on the team and his 212 pounds avoirdupois made quite a respectable showing against any line in the state. If there was a gain over Johnnie something was wrong and people began to wonder immediately. His best work was in the T. C. U. and S. M. U. games. He has three more years of College Fool Ball ahead of him which fact must give the Coach a comfortable feeling. J. O. CARTER Left Halfback and Left End. Spec came to us from Coronal with a reputation as an all-State Prep and he has thoroughly lived up to his rep- utation. He is a snappy man in the back field and equally good at end. As the Coach says Little Spec will go where you call him. HORACE BRIGGS Right Guard The bleachers were rather skeptical about Briggs in the early part of the season. They were inclined to think that a man with his scanty experience would stand small chance in spite of his big build. But Briggs showed them in the first game just what he was made of by snatching down a couple of forward passes and racing down the field for substantial gains. He also played in the line like a veteran. 166 Football Personnel ARCHIE HOYL Right Tackle Archie, being the only S man re- turning irem last lear ' s team, was elected honorary captain for 1915. He tilled the place in a thoroughly satis- factory manner. Some players may fail but Archie can always be relied upon to hold down his end of the bar- gain. And it didn ' t make much differ- ence whether that bargain were an All-State Guard or a Scrub Tackle, if was all the same to Archie. He was right there to do the mule ' s part — his durndest. A very fast and sure man, Hoyl was a great asset to the team. GILPIN SESSIONS Right End Sessions started on the Scrubs this year, but he didn ' t stay there long — in fact only about fifteen minutes. Hard consistent work won him a place in every game. Shifted from tackle to end in the latter part of the season, he proved to be an impassable barrier to the opponents, and his long run at Sherman almost made him famous. With this season ' s work and exper- ience Session should become one of the mainstays of the team next year. MARVIN WEIMERS Left Tackle Dutchman, as everybody knows him, was one of the most dependable men on the team. When the opponents tried to plunge through the left side of the line they found the whole Ger- man army there waiting for them — at least they thought so before Dutch got through with them. A sure man on both offense and defense. 1 67 Football Personnel GEORGE F. PIERCE Manager After numerous expliots in the field of o. liege activities Dago turned his attention to managing a foot ball team. And be it said to his credit, he did it extremely well. He endeared himself to the heart of every 1915 Foot Ball player by giving the team the very best to be had on every trip. He was a consistent worker on the field while at home, and jvst as a little diversion, he coached the Prep. team. We be- lieve that the season would have been much less successful if we had not had Dago to manage the business for us. BETWEEN HALVES I I i i ! 1 68 1 70 Southwestern Scrubs One of the best expressions of loyalty to old Southwestern is witnessed every fall on Snyder field by these who watch the second team or what is commonly known as the Scrubs . Fancy putting yourself in a place every afternoon for two long months, to be used as a practice instrument in perfecting ' the regulars, a place which brings but little praise and glory, but one that sifts a mans soul and shows his yellow streak or his true blue metal. All honor to the S. U. Scrubs of 1915 a more loyal bunch of men never donned Foot Ball togs. The Scrubs were coached by George Trotter of Mississippi and managed by Carol Dixon of San Antonio. Aside from the scrimmages with the first team they found time to play lour outside games, of this number they won tw r o and lost two.

Ben was a close wider-study of the immortal Titus Harris for a number of years and when his time did come he showed his ability as a student. He has a good eye at sizing up a batter and his whip to second keeps them all guessing-. RAYMOND BREWER, Shortstop. Dick is the fastest shortstop in college baseball; his work has given him all-state mention. Not only has Brewer held down the short field with style but as Captain he has aided the Coach in may ways with the green material. D. A. McKENZTE, Pitcher. Big Mac was a real stand-by for Coach Ashton ' s pitching staff. The big fellow had a line of Hooks curves, fast and fool balls well gov- erned by the old time control that struck out many a batter. Some people attribute his ability to the fact that he was born and reared in Floresville. 1 78 Baseball Personnel BILL MATLOCK, Third Base. Bill would look good on any man ' s team. The way he covers the third corner has caused much comment from base ball authorities. He is the most efficient third baseman Southwestern has known. He is also a good batter. Some people did not realize how important Bill was until he had to drop off of the team for a few days on account of injuries. GEORGE SMITH, Right Field. Smith just discovered he was an athlete this year. George came out for Basketball and made one of the best guards in the State. Next he tried Baseball and made good in the National Sport. We hope he will try Foot- ball next fall. E. SINKS McLARTY, Pitcher. Sinks is a left-handed twister and this is his third year in the box. He is noted for his cpiick throws, which catch many base runners off first. He keeps cool through-out the game, always smiling and wearing a glass front. 179 Baseball Personnel SIMMONS, Pitcher. Possey has got lots of speed and control; his pitching in the exhibi- tion games shrowed his ability in the box. Coach Ashton likes the way Sim- mons puts ' em over. T. HAYWOOD McDANIEL, First Base. Hayywood is an all-state man on First ; he covers the initial ba ' with a style never before seen about Southwestern. He gets all the bad throws, his foot work is wonderful and but Few hits are made down first base line. BEN BITPORD, Center. Ben was lead off man and a good steady one too. He knows how to look ' em over, and is a good hitter. Ben seldom muffs a t ' ly and lie has a peg like a rifle shot. 1 no If. Baseball Personnel JESSIE FORESTER, Second Base. Preacher hails from Coronal Institute where he made a good record as shortstop. He is a good man 1 ' or second as well. Jessie skoops the hot ones, and a good man to receive a peg. CURTIS WALKER, Left Field. Whop O ' Lotie is the heaviest hitter on the nine. He came here with a good High School record and left with a hetter college percentage. Walker established a rep when he hatted 1000 per cent in the White Sox game. JACK ASHTON, Coach. Jack Ahston formerly of the Navigators got his release from manager Hardy this year and spent the entire season coaching Southwestern. Along this line he has shown wonderful ability, for with nothing save a good in- field he developed out of the raw recruits one of the leading teams in the T. I. A. A. He is a coach for whom the players will always give their best efforts. They are anxious to win for Jack. 1 8 1 Baseball Personnel BILLY WATSON, Pitcher. Billy plays where you put him, he has held down the Key-stone corner, has worked at short, but his most efficient position is in the box. He has a line of curves, drops and fast balls that intake many batters look like wood cutters. Billy did exceedingly well in the S. M. U. game, allowing only two hits, and in the nine innings only twenty nine men faced him. PAUL BAKER, Second base. Paul is a little man but covers the second sack in a good style and he is a good hitter. His two years of experience with the Kemp Amature Club where he headed the hitting column last year makes him a valuable man. With this years experience on the University team he will make a wonderful little college player and we look forward to his return next year. JOE LUCORE, Catcher. Joe was an inclinable catcher on account of the ten days matriculation rule. But his work deserves special mention. He caught all the exibition games and never pulled an error, his peg is good and he is familial ' with the willow. Lucore hails from Houston where he made a wonderful record with the High School team. 1 8 2 1 83 ' WHITE so r 1 H4 ■■ ft f ■« | y ij ■ -■■ : - ' • Gel uU. 41 ' K P 19 ml 1 I . ELa .

Instances are known where this plant has killed father, son, grandson — and lady. NONE-SO-PRETTY We are at a loss to understand why this beauty of Grapeland, a native of the sticks of South Texas, was not discovered sooner. For forty years it cast its sweetness on the desert air, but with indifferent results, and it is only recently that its merit as a Saw Bone has been discovered. Has been known to withstand a temperature of 500 degrees F. Not for Sale.

Thinking deep, with eyes that burn, Frowning and scowling with great show of skill And turning their master minds at will At ten-thirty o ' clock in the chapel. . He grabbed a note book, that Faculty man From his coat as he sat in the chapel. The wings of his brain they kitgan to fan And the golden sun a climbing went And most straight down its rays were bent, And still all sat in the chapel. Long in his chair sat the Faculty man, The students sat patient in the chapel. And figured and thought as a great man can, With his competent hand the pages filled, And searched the notes of his brain, well tilled, To make a fresh talk in chapel. He made it long, did the Faculty man (How short are the visitor ' s in chapel) Then Philosophized and once more began, Gathering his thoughts from off the wing, And rounded the poor dry, empty thing Into a speech to give in the chapel. This is the way, laughed the Faculty man, (Laughed as he sat in the chapel) The only way since men began To make a talk you folks will heed. Then opening his mouth, with the proper speed He made his talk in the chapel. Dry, dry, dry, O man, Dry as the dust in the chapel! Disgustingly dry, Faculty man. The boys on the left began to moan, And the lassies to sigh, and seniors to groan. At the Faculty speech in the chapel. Yet quite satisfied is this Faculty man, At the talk that he made in the chapel, Yet from disgust the students ran; The fellows groan and moan the day, When the Faculty again such speech will say, As they talk of all talks in the chapel. 11 ' apologies to Elizabeth B.

EDENS, CONTROVERSATiONALlST Pro 3urton asked Mr. Edens to describe Isabel, a character in a certain Spanish play. Lee hesitated and then blurted out boldly: She was much like tue frivolous girls of today. The following note was immediately forthcoming from t lie girls ' side of the room: FIRST NOTE Mr. Edens: We would like to know just about how many girls of. this age on have been with and where you got all your valuable information. You would uo us a great favor as we want to start a reform. We are not of that type. Very respectfully, THE GIRLS. THE REPLY To the Girls: I acknowledge that my experience as a Lad it ' s ' man has been very trivial. 1 only base my opinion on some 22 years or general observation. I am glad you are about to start a great reform. You know man has been trying to reton. woman ever since sister Eve tempted old brother Adam to take the fatal bite out of that apple, — and without success. Bat if the hard-headed and weepy women get hold ot this matter it is bound to succeed, if it does succeed and man learns that the reform was starred in old Southwestern then you may be sure that both you and the instituted i will be famous forever. Yours for reform, LEE E. EDENS. Mr. Edens: We could not decipher your epistle very readily — a typewriter would be a good investment. It is very kind of you to sanction this great reform that we have started among these frivolous girls, and we would greatly appreciate your assistance in this under- taking. Adam and Eve have nothing to do with the actions 01 frivolous girls of the present day. Can ' t you think of a more modern source? Two of your FRIVOLOUS Friends. Perhaps you think Lee was outdone. Not a bit of it! He went home, borrowed a typewriter and a book on mythology, sat up all night and the next morning uelivered the note given below with the proper air of triumph. To the Girls: Acting upon your most highly esteemed advice I will endeavor to place all further negotiations in a more intelligible form, — and will suggest that you ao likewise. I thank my God that all my sisters happened to be brothers, and therefore my actual persona! experience has been limited. You asked me to be a little more modern. Well, was it not the frivolous beauty of the Sirenes that tempted Ulysses? Was it not that same feminine fickleness in Cleopatria that caused the downfall of Caesar? And, by the way, ' ' does not the hit dog always howl? (not intending, however, to be a tall insin- uating.) I appreciate to the highest degree your invitation to assist in this great move- ment, but, how r ever, I am sorry to say that I am conscientiously compelled to decline your kind invitation, as I am desirous of seeing it a reform for the girls, and by tbe girls, for, a I have before stated that vile man has made an absolute failure in at- temping such badly needed reforms. Thanks for the omnllment as to my ability to judge. I believe you are striking the right key note after all. Very friendly, LEE E. EDENS. 2 2 1 Harper ' s Book of Facts IF PEOPLE WERE NOT POLITE ENOUGH TO LIE Mrs. Bishop, could we have a little more tor Sunday night lunch? We just starve. No, ma ' am. I make you expect more, but when you get there you ' ll find the same old soup and crackers. I have always thought, Bernice, that you were rather clever and pretty and at- tractive, but as I ' ve been looking at you lor the last forty-five mintes it has slowly dawned upon me that you are rather stupid, homely and uninteresting and — how old you appear! Professor Burton: Perhaps you think this chapel talk has been dull this morn- ing, but wait for the next one — it will have no edge at all, and you might as well get used to this for its the only variety I give. Frank Kagsdale: I am in the habit of saying I adore going to socials, but I don ' t. I abhor it and I step on my toes every time I start across the room, I spill all my refreshments, and utterly detest the prattle of girls. After coming into class absolutely unprepared and without an excuse for the past week ' s absence, after playing the part of the clam on the five questions asked you the teacher should come to you, pat you on the shoulder and say, You ' re a fine student, you ' ll get a distinction all right — don ' t come any oftener than its convenient — What would you do? Sam R.: You know, it ' s strange, Annie Laurie, after we ' ve been shaking hands for three hours I always get tired and wish myself away from here. RULES FOR ANNEX GIRLS All girls having Sunday night dates must be sure and not return before nine- thirty. It might crowd the line if this rule is not observed. Girls watching for dates from the second floor porch must not lean over too far; if is liable to cause dislocation of the neck. It is a fundamental rule of etiquette to talk to a gentleman at least three min- utes longer if possible. There is open house at the University store where young ladies are allowed to receive their young gentlemen friends during the week. Talking in the library is permissable, provided you have some one to talk to. All young ladies desiring to go into the city must be chaperoned by Freshmen. After returning from Lyceum numbers Mrs. Day extends a cordial invitation to all young men to remain and finish any unfinished conversation. Young ladies who are fond of walking may indulge in this excellent exercise provided they do not exceed the speed limit. Young ladies, please do not sign your names in the office book upon leaving the Annex, it is very annoying to know of your whereabouts at all hours of the day. Signed MRS. DAY. ' 2 A 2 The Millenium Will Come: When University rules are obeyed. When Pinky strays from Hazel ' s side. When Sleepy V jokes get funny. When Prideanx learns to carry on an animated conversation. When Prof. Tinsley forgets to tote the excuse box into chapel. When Prof. Davidson ' s top-knot stays put. When the Sig ' s piano cannot be heard. When the Geology Class knows its lesson. When Prof. Moore gets out of the fashion. ' Tis sweet to love, But Oh! how bitter! To love a girl, And then not git ' -er. PROFESSOR CORYELL IN GEOMETRY— for example. General statement. If you love your girl, your girl loves you. Given : you love your girl. To prove : She loves you. Proof 1. All the world loves a lover . (Shakespeare. ) 2. Your girl is all the world to you. (Self evident.) 3. Hence your girls equals the world (things equal to the same thing are equal to each other). 4. Hence your girl loves a lover. 5. You are a lover (given). 6. Therefore if you love your girl, your girl loves you. Q. E. D. (Ex.) 223 •2-2 4 The Serenade A heart-rending and brain-maddening bit of verse by the President and General Manager of the Campus Club. Once upon a school-night dreary, as we studied, worn and weary, So we would not bust and homeward go ; As we read the facts deploring, suddenly ther came a roaring, As of someone loudly snoring on the campus just below, ' Tis some Mood Hall Gink we muttered, Serenading to us so, Only this and nothing more. Ah, distinctly we remember, we were in a sad dilemma And each Annex girl was raving for these Sad Boids to sing more, Eagerly we wished another — Sing ' Where is my lost dog, Rover ' ? Begged we still for just one other, just one more before you go For that high-fallutin tenor, whom we fain would call Caruso, Call him this forever more. But the silken, sad unwelcome restling of Mrs. Day who came ' a ' bustling Thrilled us — filled us with a terrior that we never felt before ; So to still our nervous flutter out went the lights and down the shutters And we all sought hasty entrance in behind the closet door — Falling one upon another on the dirty unswept floor, This we did and nothing more. Presently Mrs. Day grew madder, and her voice grew strong and louder, Git , she said, you long legged scall ' wags, and come no more. While I was the office keeping, up to here you ' ve come a ' sneaking. And so loudly she protested that they left not unrequested. But we girls were left to suffer the Honor Councils ' wrath so sore — And we we ' re campused now forever more. 225 Aline: Inez, have you learned the verse we had in German for today? Inez (Who has been given four verses to learn) : Oh, yes, I have learned all except the first three. A GENTLE HINT Willie Blount: Here ' s your chafing dish spoon. Thanks awfully for letting me have it. Mabel Shands: Oh, don ' t mention it. (Swallowing hard.) Only next time you needn ' t wash it. TEACHING VOICE The Education lesson was on the active and passive voice. Ellen Hazel was given the assignment to discuss at the board: How would you teach voice in school? She tried to bluff and this was the information that Prof. Nichols obtained from her discussion: The subject of voice is one that is very much neglected in this country in spite of its great importance. There is no doubt that the modern scientific methods should be applied in teaching voice. Many a person has been ruined bv having voice taught improperly. Especial emphasis should be placed upon correct standing, breathing and pronunciation. SPEAKING OF BADGES Freshman: Is that a Red Cross badge you are wearing? Senior: No, it ' s a frat recognition pin. TO LET, LARGE AND AIRY. Can anyone explain why Ruth Goddard gets slack in her studies? Tennessee (To a Ranchman): How was the cotton crop this year? EDDY HUMOR A freight train was passing. Prof. Eddy had an acute case of Forditis in his right forearm, but in spite of this and the noise of the train he was trying to talk to his class. At last he gave it up and seating himself in a chair he said: Well! I guess it ' s no use for a one arm man to try to run over a freight train anyhow. OUR SPEAKING PROFESSOR It was an informal party given just before the opening of school last fall. Every- body was doing some sort of a stunt. Mary Davidson remarked to Prof. Wentz that he could not stand up in the center of the room, swing his arms around his head three times, each time repeating the prase, What am I doin? without smiling. Of course Prof. Wentz undertook the matter. Why, hasn ' t he been studying elocution in Philadel- phia for many years? He stood, walked to the center of the room and said with great dignity and composure, What am I doing, three times. Just as he finished Mary Davidson remarked Making a fool of yourself. THE TRAGEDY OF THE FARM Scene I Act 1 The farmer felt Good(e). His Gardner had brought Berrys from the Marsh, and had caught Black Bass at the Hole by the Mill(s). The old Gray Hooks the Straw in Peace for he knew there was Moore Hay for the next Day. In the yard the Drakes are Hooten fit to Dye, the Lamb lies Weeks on the Moss by the Glynn dreaming of fierce Lyons. Scene 2, Act 1 Now the farmer feels his Armstrong, when the Cook Burns the Bass and the Ayer(s) smells of Slack Coffee, the farmer raises Cain and tells the Cook real Blount to Trott or he would Baker. But the Bishop came which Means Peace and made the farmer Walk-er. Moral: Never Trott a woman when you can Walker. Prof. Moore: What is a parasite? Miss McAfee: Do you mean those people of Paris? A jolly laugh is a great benefit to the home, but somehow, or other it is not as stable as the horse laugh. 226 Useless Verses— Disjointed and Unconnected Who ' ll report ' em, who ' ll report ' em, I ' ll not for see, There ' s a fellow to talk to me.

There was a young lass Who went to S. U. She had so many lovers She didn ' t know what to do. She flirted with all, without heart and unkind, And went home and married The man left behind.

He was urging deliberation in making big deals. A man should go slow in matters of this sort he said. All were listening attentively when Gladys Brewer said impatiently: But, Dr. Nichols, most men are too slow already. Prof. Moore could not read a written exercise by one of our most silver-tongued orators — Mr. Chisholm. Shall I read it for you, Professor? No, replied Prof. Moore, next time simply write a little note at the bottom of the page and tell me what it is all about. It was a cold day and they were having trouble in keeping the Annex warm. It was noticed at dinner that Professors Granberry, Moore, Eddy and Manchester had been invited to dine with the inhabitants of the Chilly Annex. Dr. Bishop presided over this august body. It was rather strange to some people but there was no further difficulty in keeping the Annex warm that night. The warm air system of heating worked perfectly. Prof. Gray: What is the principle fact that is not disputed in regard to the authorship of Mark? Sinks McLarty: Why, that Mark ran around with Peter! In Bib. Lit. Sinks disagreed with a statement in the text book. Prof. Gray: Why didn ' t you raise that question with the author, Mr. McLarty? Sinks: Well, you see, I don ' t know the author. Prof. Gray: That is what I thought. You are not familiar with him, in other words. SMILE JUST SMILE Prof. Eddy (In German 51): Herr Seale, you may begin the translation for today. Mr. Seale: Er — ah — er — er. I can ' t think of the meaning of that first word. Prof. Eddy: Well, you may stop right there, and Mr. Edens, you may take up the translation where Mr. Seale left off. Prof. Moore (In Freshman History): Mr. Merritt, what was the cause for the decline of Feudalism. Goat Merritt: The cause for the decline of feudalism was the introduction of Fire Alarms. Few people are so conscientious as our own well-beloved William Nevil; the man with the extraordinary wind and nerve, brass and bombast: in writing Poetry and in cross country running. He believes in avoiding even the appearance of evil. It was as he was returning from the Annex after the Martha Washington party that this conversation occurred: Barcu s: Didn ' t you think that the marching in the Grand March was the same as dancing, Nevil? Nevil: Yes, but you see I was careful not to keep step with my girl so it was all right. 228 Margaret: Do you like best sellers? Inez: I don ' t know who Best (Bess) Sellers is. April 16, 1916. The 220 yard dash. Contestants: Happy Hull, Archie Hoyl and Texas Special. Winner: Texas Special. Student: Prof. Tinsley, how can you tell the difference between a plant and an animal? Prof. Tinsley: That is perfectly clear. Suppose you were casually walking along and saw a tree grazing in the field with a cow under it. You could at once see the difference between a plant and an animal. A group of girls were looking, at a picture of the Colisuem which hangs in the reception hall at the Annex. Said Lucy Lee: What is that a picture of? Elizabeth Smyrl responded immediately: Why, that is a picture of the old An- nex. It burned down more than twenty years ago. They say that Lucy will stand before the picture and gaze at it by the hour. She has often been heard to wonder why they built that ill-fated Annex round. Dr. Nichols was delivering himself of certain views of his on the subject of marriage. No man should marry until he has saved up enough money to support a family, he said. This was followed by a depressing silence, finally Gladys Tinsley re- marked, But, Dr. Nichols, it takes some men so long to save up any money. Some people state that this year ' s Freshman bunch is far above any we have ever had before. We doubt this statement. For instance 1916 bunch of Emeralds have not produced an instance that would compare in verdance with the renowned and never- to-be-forgotten Alfred Mumme. Tt is stated on good authority that the first time he walked to town in the metropolis of Georgetown he remarked to someone: These pavements are sure hard on a fellow ' s feet. Prof. Tinsley ' s Geology classes are always large and he often adopts the method of calling on the pupils alphabetically. Of course it is a simple matter to count up and find out just about when your turn will come. But Prof. Tinsley will not do this any more, we fear. A thick-skulled Freshman spoiled it all answering the roll by shouting out Number 17 instead of present. STARTLING FACTS Everett Martin had a date for the Freshman party. The freshman class has a fancy Seale. Briggs is still a Freshman. After three months of training Mood Hall boys persist in mashing peas with their fork to eat with their knives. der A PROPOSITION Would it be Wright if Tinsley had Moore Nichols for Granberry to Wun- What If?

A beautiful maid did smile at me, Said the Freshman in his childlike glee, Said a soph mature, Why certainly — sure, When saw you first I laughed at thee! We regret that for the lack of space we can not print the entire poem by Wm. Nevil on Reverie, but can publish these two lines for the inspiration of posterity: My mind is wrapt in silent awe, Thinking of the things I ' ve saw. A PSALM The honor council is my shadow, I shall not be lonesome. It followeth me up halls and down halls; it leadeth me away from temptation (boys); it alloweth me three minutes; it leadeth me in the strait and narrow path for my own safety first yea though I converse more than three minutes in the halls I shall not be alone, for it is always behind me; it ' s time piece and stern countenance watch o ' er me. It maketh dates with me in the parlors, it sitteth in judgment upon me, its accusations are many. Surely call downs and campuses shall haunt me all the days of my life and I shall remember the Honor Council forever. How are you feeling? Rotten, said the apple. Punk, said the firecracker. Good, said the preacher. Fine, said the police judge. Swell, said the toothache. Elegant, said the dude. Fit, said the tailor. Well, said the Artesian driller. First rate, said the post-master.

I wish to say that I have thoroughly studied and analized this volume. I would like to state that it represents my own view on the Psychology of Learning and the original nature of man. I thoroughly agree from my own experience in College that nothing but the most thorough scholarship should be tolerated. It strangely happened that on one occasion I found a course in which I did not study and found the effects very disastrous. Therefore my moral to all Freshmen is, Be sure and study. -- DOING SOCIETY W. B.

It will be found valuable to any young man who desires to make himself popular. A brief glance at the contents will show its real worth. introduction — My own experiences. Chapter 1. — The more young lady friends the better. Chapter 2. — A wide assortment is easier to manage. Chapter 3. — It ' s comparatively simple to find from fourteen to twenty-eight dates a week. Chapter 4. — A sunrise breakfast gives you a chance for one date. Chapter 5. — Kodaking parties fill the afternoon. Chapter 6. — Any young lady is glad to ride for an hour at sunset. Chapter 7. — It ' s a simple matter to get dates for the evening. Chapter 8. — Thus four dates a day is easy. Chapter 9. — Four times seven are twenty-eight. Chapter 10. — Two dates a week will cinch any girl. Chapter 11. — Fourteen girls is a good list to start on. Chapter 12. — Girls may be dropped or added at will. Appendix 1. — Baseball games, tennis, invitations to dinner, a little spin to a neighboring town, will add at least twenty dates a month. Appendix 2. — This makes a grand total of one hundred thirty-two dates a week. Appendix 3. — A sum total of one thousand, five hundred, eighty-four a year.

Chapter 1. — A man must wear a Pomp if he is to be popular — by four hours work daily a good one can be developed. DAWSON. Chapter II. — The greatest insight into the character of the human species of the male variety is the quality of shirt worn. It ' s an easily proven geometrical proposition that the strength of a person varies exactly as the loudness of the shirt increases. I do not wis h to boast, but I have been called the strongest man in North Texas. GORSLINE. ■ Chapter III. — A man ' s feet are usually the biggest thing about him so he should note with particular care the latest thing in socks. Screaming ones can be secured anywhere 2 for 25c. Or, if you prefer, you may follow my own plan and buy them by the dozen from Sears, Roebuck Co. COWAN. Chapter IV. — A bizarre appearance is often useful, at least it makes an impres- sion and a man can do anything when he is the center of attraction. A barber pole suit is a cheap accessory for rare occasions. JACQUES. Chapter V. — Many a man after following all the beauty hints given above still fails because he neglects one of the most vital things. It is the complexion. There are several good massage creams on the market, but I have a variety invented by my- self which accounts in a large way for my remarkable lily-like complexion. I will send the prescription free if 25c is sent for postage and packing. McDANIEL. FRECKLES By Red Knickerbocker and Red Chapman.

The Preparatory Building This building- was the first structure erected by Southwestern Univer- sity. For a long time it was only two stories, a third being added later. During the past few years it has been greatly modernized as a school building and has been very much beautified. 235 W. B. McMillan, A. B. Principal of the Fitting School W. B. McMillan is a graduate of Southwestern. After his graduation he was principal of Georgetown High School which position he resigned to become Professor of History and director of Athletics in the Waco High School. He was elected to the position he now holds in 1912. He has not only increased the efficiency and attendance of the Fitting School, but his continued efforts have changed the Prep from a barren and desolate look- ing place into an attractive and inviting school. The results of his labor are seen both in the building and on the grounds; — the improvements on the latter being a matter of civic pride to the whole town. Mr. McMillan is one of the most successful principals the Pitting School has had. 286 Student Instructors E. L.

But the last batch of copy is ready to go forward to the printer and this little acknowledement must go with it. The work has been very pleasant this year ; we have felt the loyalty of the Student Body and we have been so fortunate as to have as co-workers people who were willing to give themselves unreservedly to the work. There were a few on the staff who have not been able to devote much time or energy to the Sou ' Wester, but these were the exception rather than the rule and they were more than compensated for by the loyalty and enthusiasm of the others. There is no need to speak here of the art work done by Messrs. Frank Ragsdale and W. W. Crook. It speaks for it- self. However, they have made practically every design, mounted every picture and helped in the general editorial make-up of the book. The amount of work done by them has been extraordinary and we wish the credit for this work to go just where it belongs. To Mr. Darsey and Mr. Gilchrist we feel indebted for their cheerful service. This year a Freshman Staff was organized as a new venture in editing the Sou ' Wester. The following members of this staff have rendered efficient service : Misses Edna Sullivan, Lillian Jennings, Margaret McKennon, Oatman, Guyer, Dot Howard, Lucile Hardin, Eila Bass; Messrs. Paul Baker, Burdette Sparks, Faust Collier, Everette Martin. We are deeply indebted to Dr. Cody and Mr. Dee Simp- son for their kind assistance in the preparation of the Tradi- tion Department. Through-out the year Dean Pegues and Prof. Moore have shown their keen interest in the success of the publication and have helped in numberless ways. They have, stood ready to help us at all times. If the humorous department has anything of snap and life about it no small part of the credit for this should go to Misses Vera Smith and Travis Cottrell who so generously vol- untered to help.

PATRONIZE our ADVERTISERS 24 9 I ' ll Bet You Hadn ' t Thought of it in Just this Way nAD IT EVER OCCURRED TO YOU that you had as well try to he a successful physician without attending a medical school, oi ' a successful lawyer without attending a law school, or a successful minister without attending a theological school, as to try to be a successful hanker or merchant or business man of any kind without first getting a practical business training? If you wanted to make a first class doctor, lawyer or minister, you would attend a university with a reputation. Why not use the same good judgment in selecting a business school in which to secure your training? The Tyler Commercial College of Tyler, Texas, is the business university of the South; it enrolls more students an- nually for Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Stenotypewriting, Cotton Class- ing, Business Administration and Finance, and Telegraphy than any other similar school in America. Its students have come from 39 different states; its graduates are holding the evy best of posi- tions in the leading cities of the United States. If yon will spend from $100.00 to $150.00 for tuition, board and hooks for a course of Shorthand and Stenotypewritino- or Book- keeping or Telegraphy, or Cotton Classing or Business Administra- tion and Finance, or better still, spend $175.00, to $200.00 and com- plete any two of these courses, you will have made the best invest- ment of your life. What young man or woman with grit and de- termination cannot raise this amount ;? Hundreds of students who borrowed every cent of their money to attend our school or gave ns their note on tuition have found it the best venture of their lives; they were soon able to pay back the borrowed money, continue hold- ing their good job, or go into business for themselves, with assur- ance of success. I f you always remain where you are, you will al- ways be what you are. TYLER COMMERCIAL COLL EGE j- TYLE R, TEXAS, . TELEGRAPHY ' ' ' - LARGEST IN AMERICA 2 50 Students and Friends of S. U.
