The work on it has been done less from a sense of duty than from the pleas- ure of the doing, yet the task has not been easy and the satisfaction of done is great. We would remind the reader that a year book recording events now fresh to one ' s mind will increase in value with the passage of years which dim the register of the brain but leave clear-cut the type and pictures of this book. We hope the immediate pleasure derived will be considerable, but if ever in the future the perusal of these pages calls to mind dear scenes and half forgotten memories, then say to yourself that the Staff of the 1917 Sou ' wester suc- ceeded.

Author Testis the Worker. —Who ' s Who in Am. The above, quoted from Who ' s Who, is coldly eloquent of the deeds, things ■done, not promises, of this man. For six years now, President of Southwestern, lie has before him and in the present the greatest task of any he has put his hand to, — the building of a greater Southwestern. There has been no cessation of toil to this end since he came here in 1911. The industry and devoted attention of the man to details are qualities inevitably leading to success. Certainly if the habit of hard, expert headwork is the index of intellectual greatness. Dr. Bishop must be accounted among the celestials. We have named his least qualities first, the better follow. In character, which is the beginning and end in the discussion of a man, there are two qualities whose possession denominates a man to critic and casual, — courage and sincerity. The terms are almost equivalent, but they light two aspects of the same funda- mental quality of nobility. The President of Southwestern University is morally and intellectually courageous and sincere. Although a member of the M. E. Church, South, he refuses to let others do his religion up in a package and deliver, sound condition guaranteed, A.A.A.-l quality Methodism, Wesley mfg., inc. He thinks as keenly on matters of bel ief as the most enthusiastic heretic, and comes to as sound conclusions as the most orthodox defender of the faith, pro- vided the latter is brainy. The combination of scholarship and executive ability is rare and consequently as well as intrinsically valuable. When it is found we have a Woodrow Wilson or a Charles M. Bishop. The crowd seldom notes nor appreciates the finer ele- ments of leadership in a superior. Hence, popularity with the more capably observant would be expected of such a man as Dr. Bishop. College men are notoriously merciless critics, and their approbation is that of the connoisseur. When a faculty head or a faculty member receives the respect and regard from a student body that is accorded Dr. Bishop by the students of Southwestern, he may be called truly popular and possessed of all the attributes of a successful col- lege president. Page Eight DR. ALBERT SHIPP PEG LIES Dean of South western University Born Cheraw, S. C, February 19, 1872 ; son of Rev. Wesley Leatherwood and Amanda Olivia ( Dickinson ) ; A.B.. Wofford College, S. C, 1892, A.M., 1895; Student Cornell University, and Uni- versity of Chicago; Litt.D., Wofford College, 1915; married Pearl Irene Lockett, of George- town, Texas, June 6, 1899. Began as instructor 1893, Associate Professor English Literature, 1903- ' 06; professor and head of English Depart- ment, 1906; Dean of the College, 1915, South- western University; Member Executive Board Trustees, same. Progressive Democrat ; Member M. E. Church South; Member Chi Psi. — Who ' s J! ' ho in Am. It may have been the good fortune of some to have encountered somewhere a more pleasing personality than Dr. Pegues, but it has not been ours. To meet him is to be of warm feeling towards him, and to know him well is to love him. There is no more popular man on the faculty with his colleagues and his students alike. Whatever list of the advantages of Southwestern University may be drawn up, the fact that Dr. Pegues is the Dean and Professor of English must head the list. The teaching ability of Dr. Pegues is absolutely unsurpassed. This sounds like hyperbole, but who has seen another professor who can hold spellbound with a discussion of, say, one of the most difficult poems of Milton, a class varying from roughneck to aesthete, and have the former as thoroughly absorbed in atten- tion as the latter ; and then stick up an awesomely comprehensive examination, flunk a student on the difference of a gnat ' s hair, and have lr ' m say, It ' s worth taking the course over to get to listen to Piggy. If the professor could listen to the enthusiastic conversations between the members of his Sophomore English class as they leave after a period in which, as the expression goes, The Doctor was right, we believe it would compensate for many a weary hour of toil. It is the regret of his English students that Dr. Pegues has to take any time from his teaching to give to his executive duties. It is the regret of the admin- istrative officers of the University that he has to take time from the Dean ' s office to teach. The position of Dean of a college exacts rarely found requirements of personality and keen business judgment. To the remarkable characteristics of Dr. Pegues his success in the practical affairs of an executive adds business ability. However, with all this catalogue of virtues, the chiefest and most distin- guished of the attributes of the Dean is his grip on the student body. If ever a man is in trouble, if ever he needs the trusted advice of a friend, he may go to Dr. Pegues and receive inspiration to overcome, hold on, and succeed. Page Nine STEPHEN H. MOORE, A.M.

These do the adnrnistrative work of the student body and are part of the nominating system. Together with the editors-in-chief and business managers of the Sou ' wester and Megaphone respectively, this com- mittee nominates in closed cabinet session the men who are to run the race for the publications and executive offices in the Spring elect ons. The advantage of this system is the doing away with underhand politics, and the choice of the best men for the race. The feature of secret discussion makes possible the utmost frankness regarding the fitness of certain men for certain positions. The gen- eral satisfaction given by the operation of the system so far speaks for the effi- ciency of the organization and the students composing it. Pag Twenty-five Executive Committee Inez Ayres Fred W. Birkman C. B. Harbour R. Roy Jobson Lucy Lee Kate Richardson Grady Timmons The duties of the members of the Executive Committee are among the most important and responsible of any office in the control of the Students ' Associa- tion. They form half of the Nominating Committee which has the extremely important work of nominating candidates to the offices of the Association, and to the staffs of the Sou ' wester and Megaphone. The task of carrying out the behests of the Association is theirs, and the efficiency with which their work has been done stands to the credit of the individuals and the organization alike.

Lindsey Agnes Smith FRESHMAN CLASS REPRESENTATIVES Lee Curtis Eva Breyfogle The success of the Honor System in Southwestern University is most notable. To the personnel of the Honor Council a great deal of credit is due for the efficient working of the system. So long has the spirit of trust and honor been promulgated in the student body that today a case of cheating is almost unheard of. The average number of cases tried by the Honor Council is at the most two or three a year. These are almost invariably Freshmen who have been prepared in a high school with the old, crook-the-teacher-if-you-can system. The trial of such a case before the Honor Council is sufficient to accomplish the reform of the culprit, and the most admirable characteristic of the whole system is the justice with which the students act who compose the Council.

Boone Historian Henry Straw Editor Senior Daily Page Thirty-two History of Commencement Address to Senior Class Commencement Day arrived, also the dis- tinguished gentleman who was to deliver the Senior class address. After having been introduced by our very eloquent and Niagara Tongued Presi- dent, whose subterranean eddying-forths carried upon them the weight of much thought, our speaker of the day com- menced. Seniors! Mark you well, for I am about to begin my address to the boys and girls of the Class of 1917 — a luscious honor. Pic- ture yourselves in my location, a man of recognized ability and ab-joZ-ute training. My very Dear Young Friends, I would have you consider the superastonishing ex- istence of Alexander the Great, Plutovaden, Moore-Somnambulo, Kleberg - the Rudolph, and the not to be neglected, adolescent Dr. of Psychology. What are they experiment- ing towards? An attempt to make this rolling orb of ' Blood and Iron ' over to suit themselves. And, how will they end their meteoric careers? In the same manner as the Irishman who jumped from a ten story window with his pants on hind-part-before, — terribly twisted. Permit us to de-span a few ages, preying upon the elasticity of your wrinkled cortex for this movement. Picture Julius Caesar, where is he now ? Where the Grey-theologians of philosophic theology and Apologetics say the disbelievers of Higher Criticism go. Here, venit, videt, — but, no)i I ' icit. Now we will retrace time and consider Napoleon Bonaparte. He tackled Europe ' s females, and fell, and today he is in some subterranean crematory that has no flue, organizing the bats in a mad effort to conquer the ' Mrs. Diablo. The president rushed vehemently upon the speaker and tore fantastically at his coat. The gas-illumined speaker smiled. Sir, he said, can ' t you get my point? All, all, have failed, Grape Juice B ' rvan, Wash Tub Daniels, and Bull-More Theo- dore. Extricating himself he continued: My very tender young Hearers, this orb of crust was here long before Eve offered Adam her Peach, and it will be here long after you have had yours accepted. You may charge part of the world, but you can ' t charge it all. Don ' t be as big a ' nut-head ' as the Kaiser. It is never too late to begin. At the close of your Senior year you still have time to make yourselves over to suit the world. Again he was interrupted by our president, whose face was waved in wreathes of Latin and Greek theology. This University has been here for over fifty years. Never before has any- one attempted anything of so much originality. To permit you to continue would be to shatter the prospects of our institution. We must have no progressive originality. Never, sir. Leslie A. Boone, Historian. Page Thirty-three JAMES E. ARMSTRONG, A.B.. Ennis, Texas Pi Kappa Alpha; Student Assistant Physics ' 16-17.

This class has con- sistently shown its prowess from the first Freshman meeting up to the present as we prepare to become grave and dignified Seniors of another year. In athletics we have been justly famous. In our first year we furnished our full quota of men to all of the teams except the baseball team. Here we did more than our share, — we produced the famous Freshman Infield. Since then our interest has grown in these things and besides producing men for the teams we have turned out one track captain, one football captain, one basketball captain and two baseball captains as well as numerous other team managers and officials. For our literary ability one only needs to note that our men and women have occupied positions on the various publications from those at the bottom to that of editor of the Sou ' wester. In debating we have been especially famous. We did the unusual by plac- ing a man on an intercollegiate debate in our first vear. Since then we have increased our intellectual perspicuity till this vear, on the intercollegiate and intersociety debates, we placed six out of a total of ten men. We have produced Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. cabinet members and others prominent in the religious life of the college. On account of lack of space we will have to stop here without mentioning our Glee Club record and other notable exploits. The above record we hold up for the envying classes who are to follow us while we go on to still greater things in our Senior year. W. H. Callcott, Historian.

Honor Conned Mattie Mills Historian g f %g v J l Page Sixty-four History of the Sophomore Class, 1916-1917 hi the Fall of 1915, one hundred and sixty-five ambitious students, Freshmen, entered Southwestern University. Our ambitions and ideals were not all the same, but each one thought himself at least capable of doing or learning to do anything the world offered. We had courage and determination to overcome all obstacles. For some reason the upper classmen delighted in calling us Green. If we appeared Green to them it was because they were not capable of seeing life from our point of view. Although we were considered Green, we were well repre- sented in all phases of college life. Five of our men were on public debates ; three were on the different publications ' staffs; four received S ' s in football; seven more were on the scrub team ; six were on the baseball team ; five were on the basketball team ; four were members of the Glee Club ; three girls and one boy were members of the orchestra, and the girls took active part in basketball and tennis. Notwithstanding the fact that the upper classmen played many jokes on us and called us peculiar names, we enjoyed our Freshman year. It was with glad hearts that we met again in 1916, no longer to be called Fish, and Green, but Sophomores. It took all of our Freshman year for most of us to adjust ourselves to the new and different surroundings. This year we have looked at life more seriously and thought of the place in it that we are to hold. Our class has been as strong this year as it was last. We are well repre- sented in athletics, debates, and all college activities. Two of the baseball players from our class are considered the best in the State. The class is also strong in Student Government, and in Religion, by having a Sophomore girl President of the Woman ' s Honor Council, and also a Sophomore President of the Y. W. C. A. Our ambition is to honor Southwestern by presenting her at graduation with a class of intelligent, Christian, young men and women. Mattie Mills, Historian.

Honor Council Margaret Barcus Historian Page Seventy-jour History of tke Freskman Class 1916-17 Speaking of Fish, we must remark that the class of ' 21 surpasses all aggre- gations of Freshmen ever accumulated. From the very first, they have been in the swim at Southwestern. The first event of any importance was our first election of officers. With the help of some of our more intellectual ( ? ) upper classmen we managed to elect our noble Saw-Bones as Prexy, who, in spite of his nickname, made a most admirable president. In this election the class showed their progressiveness, through their be ' ief in woman suffrage, for two women were unanimously elected to sup- port Bones in the execution of the class ' business. After a few weeks of work, we decided we needed some play, so we donned our aprons and overalls, which we had discarded when we came to college to get our education, and had a frolic at Robert Nunn ' s. Every individual in school was personally represented at this party, and we hope they enjoyed helping us eat all day suckers, and drink green lemonade. Our number is not so great as some classes, but what we lack in number we make up in other ways. There is not a college activity in school in which the Freshmen are not well represented. In football, Tuck strengthened the line, and we had many others who worked hard to make the first team what it was. In basketball we made four S ' s — three girls and one boy, and one Freshman girl, Louise Graham, was elected captain of next year ' s team. The Freshmen are well represented in track. In Baseball, Doyle is starring and Lee Curtis is playing a good game. This is not the only phase of college activity we are taking part in. The Literary Societies, Y. M., and Y. W. C. A. ' s are loyally supported by the Freshmen, and we put our men on the strongest debating teams. Then we were so fortunate as to have a young man popular enough to get on the popularity page. In intellectuality, the Freshman class of this year is superior to any in a long time — so says the faculty ( ?). Our grades are above the average, and very few who fall below par dishonor our roll. We were as green as any bunch of Fish you ever saw when we came to Southwestern, but soon we got our bearings and have started making a good record for ourselves. We hope through our own efforts and the aid of others that we can keep it up, and through the coming years be a credit to Southwestern. Margaret Barcus. Historian.

The prize consists of twenty-five dollars ' worth of books pur- chased with the income of a fund donated by Judge R. E. Brooks, of Houston. It is awarded to the society, but the benefit of the prize goes to the library of the University, since the separate libraries of the two societies were abolished.

Consequently, in ( )ctober, 1916, the old Clio and Alethean societies were united into one. It was unan- imously voted to call the new organization the Cody Literary Society, in honor of the former Dean, Dr. C. C. Cody, a faithful and eternal friend of the students, and Southwestern ' s grand old man. The meetings, held every Monday morning as usual, convene in the old Clio Hall. Every one of them has been very interesting and successful. All of the girls were invited once or twice to specially prepared programs. The drama was studied, and in this connection Professor Wentz made a comprehensive talk on the Community Drama. The war situation was studied in many interesting debates and talks. The Alamos invited the Codys to a highly entertaining mock trial and in return the two boys ' societies were inv : ted to Clio Hall to take part in programs with the girls. The greatest social event of the year was a Colonial Tea given on the twenty-second of February to the different women ' s clubs. The society has had a successful initiation and infancy, — long may it continue to live and foster the best in Southwestern.

Smith, Jr., as its chief has consistently and earnestly worked to make the spirit and bfe of Jesus Christ real in the life of the College. Every department was rendered more efficient by a thorough-going system and hard work. The cabinet of ten men with few exceptions has met regularly each week during the school year. The eld method of charging dues was discarded and under the leadership of the able treasurer. Mr. Birkman, a budget of over three hundred dollars wa readily given by the students. Men of unequaled power and influence were se- cured as speakers for the different meetings, among whom were Dr. S. P. Hrooks of Baylor University, Dr. R. E. Vinson of Texas University, and Dr. A. S. Scott of the Temple Sanitarium. In co-operation with the Faculty the Association se- cured the services of Dr. W. D. Weatherford for an evangelistic campaign in the Fall Term in which a tremendous moral and spiritual awakemng was received by the student bodv. Page One hundred twenty-nine Y. W. C. A.

It is the one organization in which every girls feels an interest. It creates a religious atmosphere which makes college a place for the strengthening of spiritual as well as intellectual character. The Y. W. C. A. is not only a potent factor among the young women of the college, but its far reaching influence extends to those in lands not our own. Funds have been sent to Brazil to be used in the building of a church in Passo Fundo. Money was sent to the Armenians while they were in great need of help. This Association helps in the supporting of Miss Edith Wells who is our Y. W. C. A. Secretary to Shanghai , China. It is the desire of the Young Women ' s Christian Association of Southwestern to make Christianr ' ty real and religion practical to everv girl. Page One hundred thirty-one Ministerial Association Every class of men in all vocations are found to have organizations which exclude all those not members of that specific group. Consequently we find asso- ciations of editors, teachers, scientists, and medical men. Men in every profession have problems which do not interest the world at large. These exclusive associa- tions furnish the only means by which these problems can be solved. Thus we have the Ministerial Association of Southwestern University. The function of the Ministerial Association in Southwestern is primarily to permit the Ministerial students to associate on a common plane, and to discuss issues of vital significance relative to their particular vocation. It is believed that in this group we can best concern ourselves about problems that may arise when we enter the active work. Tlie immediate aims are to cultivate the private life of the voting minister along the lines of his professional activity, to develop the intelligent enthusiasm of the members, and to promote the social efficiency of the whole.

Richardson, Kate Riley, Pearl Sanders, Martha Talley, Nell Walker, Mary Lynne Willis, Claude - HE Scholarship Society was founded under authority of the Faculty of m t the University after conference with leading members of the student L J body. The meeting for organization was held in the private parlors of the President of the University on April 24, 1915. The charter members consisted of fifteen students elected by unanimous vote of the Faculty, together with the President and two Phi Beta Kappa members of the Faculty. The organi- zation was speedily completed and constitution and by-laws adopted. During that year four additional students were found eligible and were elected to membership. Since that time the society has been active and influential in the student life of the University. The object of the society is the encouragement and promotion of scholarship and high character among its members and the recognition of such in the college life. Among the tests of eligibility are : ( 1 ) Very high class standing and grades upon examination; (2) qualities of character such as command the respect of student body and Faculty; (3) some evidence that beneficent and efficient use will be made of attainments; (4) at least five terms of resident work in South- western University. Former graduates who in their student life met the require- ments may be elected as associate members. Others who have reached distinction through scholarly attainments or by service rendered to the Church, to the State, or to society, may be elected to honorary membership. Membership in the Scholarship Society is now recognized as the highest honor conferred by the University upon its students. Only those who have attained to Junior or Senior -standing can be considered for membership. It is greatly to the credit of the student body that during each year since its organization more than 10 per cent of the membership of the upper classes have been elected to the Society.

Class A work means more than book work, and no student is necessarily eligible because he may have secured a grade of ninety per cent. The ability to communi- cate facts to others in clear and lucid fashion is part of the requirement. But be- yond this is the more fundamental quality of being independent of the book, both as to the wording and the illustrations used. Remembering that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and that an encyclopedia is not a scholar, the first and highest ideals in this group may be summed up thus : Know something positively and definitely. Exercise the greatest efficiency in using and imparting that which is known. Highest use of knowledge is possible only for people of highest character. The photographs of members will be placed upon the walls of the new Science building and space provided under each picture for the future history of the indi- vidual.

Athletic Council Page Our hundred fifty 1 J. BURTON RIX Director of Athletics Southwestern has been very fortunate in the past three years in having at the head of the athletic department a man who has been pro- nounced the best all-round football and basket- ball authority in the Southwest. Mr. Rix has refereed in many of the big games of the State and his decisions have never been questioned. As a coach he is hard to beat anywhere. From the time the season opens until the final whistle blows he lives football. He studies the plays from every possible angle and presents them to the players in the most efficient worked out form. He studies his men as perhaps no other coach and when he places a man it may be known that he is the best fitted man on the field for that position. The scarcity of football material at Southwestern hampered Mr. Rix ' s progress no little. Southwestern regrets very much that Mr. Rix will not be back next year, and wishes him all personal success in his new situation. The first game came three days after the opening of school and was a 9 to victory over Howard Payne on the home gridiron. On October 6th the Pirates met A. M. College at College Station, and to the surprise of all Texas the S. U. line held the husky farmers to the piteous score of 6 to 0. The next game was played at home on October 13th, and was lost to Perry ' s men of Daniel Baker. Early in the second half Anderson carried the ball over on a line plunge and Prentice kicked goal, winning by a score of 7 to 0. Daniel Baker outplayed South- western in every stage of the game. On the 21st of October the team left for Houston to meet the Owls. This game resulted in a complete drubbing. The Pirates lost bv the overwhelming score of 54 to 0. The game resembled an Olympian track meet. On the 27th Knickerbocker made three touchdowns against the Austin College eleven, winning for Southwestern by a score of 20 to 7. November 4th was opening day of the Waco Cotton Palace, one of the features of the afternoon being - the Baylor-Southwestern football game. Baylor was making long strides for the State title and everyone expected the Bears to swamp the Pirates even more than Rice had done and especially when the game opened with a touchdown from the kick-off by Captain Roach. Baylor piled up 20 points in the first half and try as she could the score was 20 to when the final whistle blew. On Friday 1 1th, T. C. U. met her Waterloo at Georgetown. The Christians were completely swamped. When the dust had settled the score keeper was mark- ing up a 40 to 13 score for Southwestern. This was the game in which Knicker- bocker and Gillett put themselves on the football map by pulling an on-side kick with sensational accuracy. A special train carried the S. U. rooters to Austin on the 21st to meet the Longhorns. The game was one of thrills from beginning to end. The Pirates were first to score ; Marsh made a perfect field goal from the 30-yard line in the first quarter. Texas won with the forward pass in the last half after completely failing to advance through the S. U. line. The score was 17 to 3. The last game of the season was plaved at Georgetown on December 1st and resulted in a 9 to 9 tie.

E-very ounce of his make-up can be T-urned into better than T-en flat to a hundred. With Betts as captain of the 1918 team we S-ee big things in store for Southwestern. E. W. BODE, Ping, End B-ode played football all week and preached O-n Sunday. He was one of the D-ignified Seniors on the team. E-ven though he was in a crippled condition during most of the season he seldom failed to advance the ball. SERVIE EDENS, Lefty, Tackle E-ver and anon we see a good tackle, but few first year men D-o such splendid work as did this E-nergetic and agile young giant. N-o one who knows him thinks for a moment that he will not continue to do the S-ame good work for old S. U. Page One hundred ffty-three JOHN GILLETT, Hiram, Halfback G-oing back into old records we find a man 1-n Prep uniform starring in many games. Yes, L-ong years ago John played, starred, and was injured, L-eaving his football togs in the attic until this year when he E-ntered the field again, and T-ime after time made many brilliant plays for S. U. In the T-.C. U. game he kicked the most spectacular on-side kick ever recorded. JOHNNIE HARRIS. Clinker, Guard H-eavy is not all we can say for Clinker. A-ll time fighting hard when in the game, R-eady to do just what Coach Rix wanted him to do. R-ight when a large opening was needed, right then Johnnie could be depended upon. I-n stopping line plunges he was impregnable. This is his S-econcl year with the team. Two more years that look good to S. U. A. B. KNICKERBOCKER, Knick, Quarterback K-nick has the longest N-ame I-n the English language, for which the C-opy writer is truly thankful, for K-nickerbocker is without doubt immortal in the E-yes of every Southwestern R-ooter. From the position of quarter- B-ack he governed the team on all O-ccasions in a masterly fashion. C-ould you have seen him receive that on-side K-ick in the T. C. U. game, for- E-ver and a day his praises would be R-inging through your college memories. Page One hundred fifty-four THEOPHILUS LEE, Teop, Center T-he friends of S. U. all sincerely regret that H-er most capable center graduates this year. E-veryone remembers the remarkable Offensive work and the P-resence of mind which saved the team many H-eavy penalties for being off-side. I-n every game T was at his best. He L-et nothing interfere with his U-sual fitness. S-urely he has won an enduring fame in the L-iberal hearts of E-veryone who appreciates sincere work and untiring individual E-fforts to make a more efficient team. ROBERT LINDSEY, Bob, End L-indsey came to S. U. bearing a good record from Coronal T-nstitute. Coach Rix soon saw that he N-eed have no worries regarding right end. Bob goes D-own on punts with a S-peed that would look good to any coach. E-verv sport-loving son of S. U. is glad to know that Bob has three more Y-ears before him in the University. MARVIN MARSH, Captain Kidd, Fullback M-arvin Marsh A-s captain of the team was capable in every R-espect, and he possessed the implicit confidence of the players ; he S-upervised the team work in a most creditable manner. H-is teriffic line plunges on the offensive from fullback, and his quick judgment deserve special mention.

LEE Manager Last year when the election tide was at its height, a dark horse was plunged into the middle of the stream and came out with an overwhelm- ing majority. Without a doubt Theop has made Southwestern one of the most efficient ath- letic managers that the school has ever known. SAM HAY Forward For three years Sam has made his letter as a forward. Last year he was chosen captain of the team. Sam is one of the most dependable men on the quintet and has a reputation for steady, cool and consistent work. Captain McKenzie and Southwestern will lose a great deal at his gradu- ation this year. WELSEY PEACOCK Forward Well versed in the game, Peacock came to Southwestern from the Peacock Military Acad- emy, of San Antonio. He could be counted upon on all occasions. He played the game from be- ginning to end with a do-or-die spirit. His un- usual speed coupled with his skillful and cool- headed work made him a most valuable man on the team. FLOYD BETTS Guard Since the Captain-Elect, Knickerbocker, was un- able to play, Betts was appointed as captain in most of the games and proved to be such an effi- cient commander and player that he was selected as an all-state guard, and was picked to captain the team selected by the sporting authorities of the Waco Morning News. His wonderful skill coupled with his speed made him an unsurpassed guard. Betts scored more points during the sea- son than all the other men on the team put to- gether. BOB LINDSEY Guard After doing splendid work on the football field, Bob decided that he wanted another Southwestern letter — so he went to work on that little job, and at the end of the basketball season there was no doubt about the matter in the coach ' s mind. Bob ' s Irish and — you know what that means. He fought a good game always and had his head with him every minute. D. A. McKENZIE Center Tiddle-Dee was unanimously chosen to captain the 1918 team. He pl ayed ball all season in a won- derful fashion and was picked as the brainiest man on the team. He always kept his head up and he was especially efficient in giving signals. This is his second year with the Pirates and it is a source of great pleasure to know he will be back in school next year, for under his leadership the basketball quintet is assured of a good season. Page One hundred sixly-iiuo DICK HOOPER Coach Probably the best known man in T. T. A. A. baseball is old Billy Disch of Texas University; next to him the most widely known player and coach is undoubtedly Dick Hooper. While at the University of Texas he achieved the record of being the only one armed man in college baseball. 1 He was chosen as all-State center fielder and was elected to captain the Lonshorn team in 1915 When it was learned that Hooper could be had as a coach for Southwestern no time was wasted in signing him for the position and he has proved to be the most efficient baseball coach the school has ever known.

H. McDANIEL Captain, First Base Picked last year as an all-State first baseman and with the old time jinniger and fire, Mac opened the season this year, acting as coach and captain until Coach Hooper arrived. Two weeks after the training began, he was stricken with appendicitis and was out of the game about five weeks. At the end of this time all Southwestern took new hopes, for with Mac back on first tbe infield tightened up one hundred per cent. DOYLE FARRINGTON Second Base Dolly has more real baseball in him in one minute than the ordinary college player has in three weeks. He is always on the job and can cover a world of infield territory. He is espe- cially noted for bis shoe-string catches and accurate throws to first. He can field the ball, turn and throw it to any position quicker than any man that ever put on the Gold and Black uniform. ED YORK Shortstop The problem after putting Brewer behind the bat was to find a shortstop. After trying- several men, York was tried, and there he stuck. Like all good ball players, Diddie had his off days. His hitting soon put him on the map. He began by poleing out a double on the big leaguer, Danforth, in the White Sox game, and then he won the first college game of the schedule over Texas by breaking up a ninth inning tie with a home-run over the left field fence. BILL MATLOCK Third Base It seemed like the very fates themselves were determined to keep the young Phila- delphia hopeful out of the game this spring. He was first hampered with a bad knee, then was called home on account of the untimely death of his father, returned and played in the first few games, but was injured on the first North Texas trip. Working against all manner of odds Tillie made Coach Hooper one of the strongest men on the team. His hitting was an especially valuable asset to the progress of the club. All Southwestern regrets very much that he left school before the season was half over. Page One hundred sixty-fi-ve DICK BREWER Catcher Brewer was captain of the 1916 club and played shortstop. This year the position of catcher proved to be an enigma from the first, and was not solved until Dick put on the mask. Dick, however, only played five or six games as catcher and was shifted to third base to fill the big hole left open by Matlock. One consoling thing about the hard luck Southwestern had at the opening of the season was the fact that Brewer could cover any infield position that he was called upon to fill. In the S. M. U. game Dick actually pitched and made a wonderful record, striking out twelve batsmen. FLOYD BETTS Right Field Betts is the first four letter man since the days of Jack Snipes. He did not try baseball until this year and from the first day ' s workout it was plain that he was a natural ball player. He is the fastest man on the club and covers the right field in a wonderful fashion as well as backing up all infield positions. He is a sure hitter and once on base means a score. CURTIS WALKER Left Field Whopalotie is another man that looks good for big league material. We see no reason why he should not go to the top in baseball. His fielding is perfect and gets great results with his hitting, which is hard, often and timely. Walker has showed a disposition to get into the .300 class and stay there. DOW CHAPMAN Pitcher Red is red-headed and maybe Irish, too. Anyway he pitches like a veteran and delivers a cyclonic ball. Candidates for hit off this man were more often disappointed than success- ful. Red will be back here next year and Southwestern will have a mighty good man for the mound. Page One hundred sixty-six SERVIE EDENS Pitcher Lefty Edens, the big tackle of the football team proved to be a real find as a baseball pitcher. Under the personal coaching of Dick Hooper he developed into a powerful port-side hurler. He made his debut in the Rice game on the home diamond, being called upon to check the visitors who had already scored six runs in the first inning. Lefty went into the box and held the Owls scoreless for the eight remaining innings. BILLY WATSON Pitcher Billy is the smallest man on the club; when in training he barely tips the beam at 125 pounds, but his efficiency and endurance cannot be measured by weight. Watson has the best variety of hooks, hops ands fast balls of any man on the mound. Billy won an undying reputation when he won the first game of the season over the Longhorns on their home ground. SINKS McLARTY Pitcher This is Buggs ' fourth year with the ball team as a pitcher. In his Freshman and Sophomore years he won for himself a state-wide reputation as a left-handed pitcher and he was a sure winner. This year he has suffered with a bad arm and has been unable to get back into the old time form. JOE COUGHRAN Baseball Manager We do not like to boast too much about our men, but with Joe we are certainly justified in using some superlative terms. He is one of your slow, but ever sure men who will always put their very best into the management of their duty. Southwestern has never had a better •nan to manage her baseball club than Steady Joe.

The queen of the May, Miss Hazel Davis, with the three duchesses, Miss Tennie Mae Bass, Miss Kate Richardson and Miss Cecile Lawrence, hold court for two days, the last day of April and the first of May. One hundred and fifty of the fairest young ladies of the state, decked in the gayest and brightest and most colorful suits and outfits that the keen minds and tasteful eyes of the best designers could invent, on show for the pleasure of the public and the honor of the Queen of the May ! This affair has already attained the dignity of an institution in the life of Southwestern, and is the opportunity for so many to come back to the old school that it is practically an annual home-coming. This year the University invited a hundred high school girls to visit the school on the occasion of the May Fete and lend their charms to the scene. This is an annual feature and has been so successful that it will probably be repeated.

Page One hundred seventy-nine — 1 Major Dromo Charles McTyeire Biskop Joins the U. S. Aviation Corps Sends for Son Hendrix to Take Charge of Southwestern In an interview with Dr. C. M. Bishop, O.E.D., D.D., Ph.D., A.D.T.. F.O.B., S.S.S., H.G.C., he explained to Van Hoose, Percy Black, Searls, Sawbones and Air. Branton, representing the Annex kitchen, his intention of joining the U. S. Aviation Corps. Dr. Bishop says that war is inevitable and that he wants Southwestern represented among the high flyers. Hendrix Bishop, better known to students by the charming nickname, Nasty, is claimed to be fully capable of filling the Doctor ' s place. Since he left Southwestern in 1915 he has graduated in animal husbandry, taking the degree of M.D., standing for Master of Drivel, specializing in oxology. The new incumbent to the office of president is due to arrive within the limits of commencement week. The Faculty has announced the intention of meeting him at the train and escorting him to the University, where a reception will be given in his honor. All the students are invited to be present. It is :o be wholly informal. The Faculty and student body are deeply grieved over the resignation of Dr. Bishop, but they realize that it would be useless to try to keep him with them when he has this opportunity for more ethereal flights. They feel that what is their loss is their country ' s gain. Dr. Bishop has thought out some improvements for aeroplanes which he intends to present to the Army Department for consideration. They are cal- culated to put the American aeroplane on a higher altitude than the machines of other countries. One of the most striking improvements is the use of a gas shield to the machine. The operator emits verbally a quantity of heavy gas that envelopes the plane in a fleecy cloud, rendering it invisible to the enemy sharp- shooters, and making it safe against sniping. This invention is also a long step toward the abolition and complete suppression of mob violence in the South. The wav it is to be applied to the subjugation of mobs is a secret, and we are not at liberty to give it away. It has been observed by some of the clearest sighted of the community that this declaration of intention on the part of Dr. Bishop is no more than the logical outcome of his famous lecture and sermon, Come up Higher, delivered in every grammar school and home for the feeble minded in the state. Xastv will be materially helped in his administration by the co-operation of the students and officials. Mr. Branton, cook at the Annex, has promised Dr. Bishop to perform his work as usual, and not to issue to each girl more than the daily ration of 3 ounces best quality hog liver. 4 slices extra dr toast, and 11 luscious navy beans. Turner Van Hoose will be economical with the coal. Searls, Saw B ones, and S. J. Rucker have assured the president that the students will be loyal to the new administration. Dr. Bishop says that with these assur- ances he leaves with a light heart, and will return to us when he has fulfilled his duty to the nation. When the reporter started to leave. Dr. Bishop made the suggestion that the student body give the individual for Bishop, followed imme- diately bv cheers for Nasty. Page One hundred eighty BEVO WORKS WONDERS ON WINFREE Onck a Slave to Liquor, Now on the Wagon M. K. Winfree is now a freeman, where once he was bound hand and foot with the shackles of liquor. No longer will he wake in the morn- ing with a katzenjammer and a dark brown taste. The demon rum has been downed, and the slave is tasting deeply of freedom. In the course of years of study, Winfree felt the need of a little social life, and decided to be- come convivial with some congenial friends. He struck up an acquaintance with Whopalotie and Betts, and soon had their confidence. One night they imported a quantity of the vile liquor known as Bevo, and desiring to share it, they invited Winfree to the revel, due heroic boy went to their room and drank with them. Winfree had a strong head, but the two mentioned above were of weak hearts and quickly came under the in- fluence of the booze. A few raw words were passed between the two, and in a moment they were engaged in a death struggle. Winfree was aghast. He circled about the combatants, who were more like beasts than men, and pleaded with them to cease, to come outside, to rest a minute, anything to stop the. bloody bat- tle. By this time half the hall was aroused, and a dozen men gathered and in a concerted move- ment stopped and separated the fighters. The lesson taught by this nearly fatal affair was branded so deeply on the brain of this ganoid fish that he took the mightiest oath never to touch a drop of rum again. The makers of Bevo will profit no more by the fatal taste of Winfree for booze. He is on the wagon. He is a free man. Page One hundred eighty-one Speech by the Reverend C. M. Bishop Against Mod Violence Rousing Talk Made by Dr. Bishop Against the Spirit of the Mob as it Was Exhibited in the Burning of the Jinx Just after the game with State University, Dr. Bishop called the students together and delivered a vehement and passionate discourse against the spirit of mob violence in the South. He had thought that Southwestern students rep- resented the sober-minded southern ladies and gentlemen, who would have been the first in an anti-mob movement. But on the contrary, these same high-minded scholars and students had been the instigators and agents of the heinous crime committed by the mob in burning the Jinx on Snyder Field. The crime, dastardly as it is, is not what Dr. Bishop regrets most, but the principle of lawlessness which it has revealed. Should we not feel that we have outraged the ideals our noble president has set before us, and cast shame upon the fair name of Mother Dear, ' and the discredit of all time upon the State of Texas? Would it not be fit and proper to resolve in the Students ' Associa- tion that We, the students of Southwestern Universiy, will never again revert to such barbarism as was exhibited in the ruthless cremation of the Jinx. It is suspected that this foul act had something to do with the enlistment of Dr. Bishop in the U. S. Aviation Corps. Too much cannot be said against mob violence, and if the practice is not discontinued it will be the ruination of the spirit of peaceful somnolence that is the ideal held up for Southwestern by the Faculty.

Jane Johnston: Girls, will you please read these slips of paper for ' silent prayer ' this evening? Page One hundred eighty-three Southwestern to be Moved to Round Rock News of the Proposed Change Startles the Community. Tinsley Gives Reasons The news that the University will be moved to Round Rock is probably startling to the readers of the Pirate, but to the intelligent ones of the community it is what they have been expecting for the last some time. When our corre- spondent approached the head of the Biological Department for information on so lively a subject. Prof. Tinsley put out the following: Round Rock has many advantages. It is the center of a vast svstem of rail- roads, which connect it with every corner of the state. It is a very healthy loca- tion. In the past there have only been a very few deaths from contagious diseases. There were only sixty deaths from smallpox last year in the whole town, and the small average of ten per cent of the population succumbed to tuberculosis. They have never had but one case of the itch, and that was caused by a resident of Round Rock coming in contact with Bob Groce while sojourning in Cuckle Burr. The absence of this affliction, so common and annoying in Georgetown, will be appreciated by all students, especially the new ones unaccustomed to its irritation. There will be very little trouble moving the buildings to Round Rock, and the citizens have promised to give Southwestern the new museum they have been needing so long. There is another reason besides that of health why South- western should move to Round Rock. The Swede college in Round Rock is taking many students away from the University. The citizens of Round Rock feel that unless something is done to counteract the influence of the Swedish faculty the customs and manners of the country will gradually come completely under the dominance of Swedish ideals. Of course there are a few to whom Southwestern could not mean anything unless it was the Southwestern of Georgetown, but the great majority will be willing to sacrifice this sentiment to the real need of the University. TYPICALLY MODERN An Incident of Southwestern Society Life Girls in parti-colored wraps were rushing frantically from room to room, putting little dabs of powder and pats of paint on already too rosy lips and cheeks. Men in top hats and overcoats which revealed their rented fancy dress suits came up the broad walk to the Woman ' s Building with that confident swing which distinguishes college men. In the Phi Delta Theta house, Cock Eye Bounds stood prinking before a mirror, lie subdued the ruddy color of his face with Mary Garden powder, and placed a black beauty spot beneath his left eye. As he turned from the glass, he was, in lace ruffles and gold brocade, satin breeches and silk stockings, an exact and exquisite reproduction of eighteenth century elegance. Deftly removing from his mouth a good sized chew of tobacco, and dropping it gracefully in a waste basket, he departed for the Woman ' s Building.

Semi Colon was annexed in marriage to the sterling young minister and demi-divine, William Angie Smith, Jr., of Taylor, Texas. The ceremony took place at the charming residence of the bride, the poor farm, just on the out- skirts of the city. The blushing bride ' s gown was of a light shade of mauve, merging into a delicate black at the corners, garnished with galvanized iron lace, and a few priceless string beans. She was attended by her family physician, and three flour girls, from the Pated, and the Tive families, who wore the conventional white tulle and carried garlands of poison ivy. The groom wore blue embroidered overalls and a natty burlap vest. Johnnie Harris was the best man, which he proved in five rounds with the groom. The service was rendered by the best undertaker in the county, assisted by his understudy. Sinks McLarty. The guests and entire wedding party were all in high spirits, especially after witnessing the rounds between the groom and the best man. V I ' inkerton ' s detective service was on the job, and no silverware was reported missing, although the newlyweds were shy two lovely, hand-carved, solid brass spittoons, and a cake of ivory soap. The latter loss, however, was attributed to the dog, a handsome little elephant skin poodle, for the dog was found suffering from colic in the latter part of the evening. The Sunday School quartet rendered the strains of Goodbye Boys, I ' m Through, with so much feeling that it brought tears to the eyes of the linger- ing guests. At four o ' clock the party broke up when one of the detectives who had partaken freely of the spirits of the evening announced that after counting the presents forty times, he found that the election was crooked and demanded a recount. The Campus Regretful Apologies to Mrs. Day The Campus ! The Campus ! that awful place, Where men on benches and things abound. Some man has told me, ' tis a disgrace, That on one of these benches a girl was found. And then he told me, — can it be true ? — That a man was seen there with you. Now girls, I am so mortified, And hurt that I have nearly died. Page One hundred eighty-nine ¥ THE PRAYER OF AN ANNEX MAID This is the prayer of an Annex maid.

THE HEIGHT OF HARD LUCK Declared by Margaret Harkey to be the misfortune of being left in the bath room without a kimono, and your room seven j halls away. ffi w y , | j THE JOY OF IT He was a student at Southwestern Uni- Saki H 1 versity. He lay back oblivious to the entire world except the white clad figure that H ■- JwJm $ fe I hovered above him. He could smell the 1 m Ik 1 faint odor of some unknown perfume. He was looking forward to something, but he E ' jKf ' Ms 1 did not know just what the sensation would B i- SI ' - $ 1 be. Then a soft arm stole about his neck, 9 -—M n %- r j. 1 and he felt something gently caress his lips and cheeks.

Page One hundred ninety-one The Joj)s of Rushing Characters: Girls of the Maka Sho Sorority. Chairman of the Rushing Committee. ACT I. Time: Three days before pledge day. Scene: Maka Sho sorority hall. The chairman speaks (sinking into a chair) : Will someone please get me a glass of water and a fan? (Reaches out her hand.) Thanks. I ' ve been with that Mary Gibson all afternoon, and its like conversing with a sphinx. If she likes us she wouldn ' t show it for the world ; if she doesn ' t like us, she won ' t tell us till the bids are out. The time I ' ve devoted to her has cost me about ten dollars in hard kale seed, a week ' s worry, and flunking in two majors. I have asked a dozen boys to go with her, and I believe I have all her dates taken until pledge day. And then if she turns us down, I am certainly through with her forever. She is a fine girl though. (due of the girls speaks: ( h, there she goes now, with some other girls. I don ' t see how she can stand to go with any one else after she has been with us ; especially with those horrid Cutta Swaths, not a decent dresser in the bunch. Chairman, in a worried tone: Do vou know, pledge day is only three days off. I just can ' t sleep for thinking about it. But in the meantime we must all work hard, don ' t talk, of course, but there are other ways of letting a Freshman know outside of a lecture course. Just so we get that Gibson girl. Isn ' t she sweet, though? ACT 2. [ME Pledge day, three days after above. Scene : Maka Sho sorority. Chairman of committee (disgustedly) : They all accepted except that hor- rid Mary Gibson. Do you know, I was rather sorry we had put out that bid, even before she answered it. 1 was looking at her in the hall this morning, and I declare she looked positively common. If we had not rushed her I would not have been in favor of bidding her at all. Girls: Didn ' t she look tacky this morning? Chairman: Yes. I am really relieved to think that we won ' t have her on our hands. She needs a lot of bringing out. All together: My! Haven ' t we a good chapter? By far the best in school. We have more members than anyone else, and aren ' t they attractive? One Hundred ninety-tivt Page One hundred ninety-three With the Local Chapters Culled from tke Publications of the Fraternities and Sororities in Southwestern It is a rare pleasure for the Pirate to present to its readers the following- Chapter letters. They speak for themselves. FROM THE KAPPA ALPHA JOURNAL We may not have an imposing looking house, but it covers a s cholarship cup, and when it comes to student honors, we have it. We tell the boys in Southwestern : ' Anytime, fellows, that you want to give a party, the house is yours. ' We can always point to Angie when anyone asks about our frat, and Straw is a mesmerizer with the ladies. Remember our motto: ' Dieu et les Dames, which means ' God and the Ladies, ' between the two we manage. Tell all the boys when they come this way to drop around to the bat roost and we will take a spin in Rector ' s old Death Wagon, the Kappa Alpha Hearse. (Signed) John Git. lett. FROM THE PHI DELTA TliETA SCROLL We have suffered a hard loss this year from bustees. but we will screw our courage to the sticking point and next year will probably furnish a haber- dasher or a ribbon clerk or two to enrich the chapter. Anyway, we are not suf- fering, for we still have a Super-Six, and occasionally another to ride in. We may be called snobs, but we are all strong for the aristocracy, and to tell the truth, wouldn ' t you hate to associate with the rabble? If you wanted to call us by one name which would be descriptive, the title ' Refined Rounders ' would not displease us, and we request that address. ( Signed ) Sam Hay. FROM THE KAPPA SIGMA CADUCEUS I am glad we have a bunch that are d — good mixers. We do not boast of our good grades, for to tell the truth we haven ' t any ; but we are all good fellows, and that is enough for us. Dr. Pegues made the remark that he lived between the devil and the Katy railroad, — which we thought was a fair piece of wit. Our floors are good, the Victrola runs day and night, — the brewery in the back keeps wet goods safe, and the sign reads to visitors: ' Open All Night. ' As ever, forever a Sig, (Signed) Tommy Thomson. FROM THE PI KAPPA ALPHA SHIELD AND DIAMOND Well at last we have a house equal to those horrid Sigs, even if we do have to issue bonds on our overcoats to pay for it. Now the Seniors have their parties at our house instead of at the other frat houses, which tickles us tremendously. We do wish we could have a few more pledges. However, we claim quality if we can ' t claim quantity. There is one thing that must be mentioned. It might be a help to the other chapters in solving the same problem of how to care for the Pi K. A. sisters. We find the best results in fining heavily every man who does not attend the Annex on every date night. By casting lots we decide who goes with whom, and no one is left out. (Signed) James Armstrong. Page One hundred ninety-four FROM THE DELTA DELTA DELTA TRIDENT Every one knows we have the largest national standing of any sorority down here, and I for one do not hesitate in saying so. Just to he confidential, we do hreak Pan-Hellenic rules and talk to the Freshmen, hut that is the way we get them. We have several friends among the hoys, but as a rule we hate those horrid men. (Signed) Ruth Onderdonk. FROM THE ZETA TAU ALPHA THEMIS Yes, we think that we are the cutest bunch in school. We got everybody we wanted this year. Just look, — we had four nominees to the popularity page, and we are deserving enough to put all four on. We never lack dates — looks count in that particular. We are true believers in the old maxim made famous by Sleepy Moore : Might as well be dead as out of style. Besides this we have brains. We believe we have brains. (Signed) Irene Lamb. FROM THE ALPHA DELTA PI ADELPHIAN I do not care anything about my sorority, but you know it gives one a little prestige. We dance in our frat hall all of the time, and since there are so few of us we have never been caught. We do not need a large chapter, — we have Willie Blount. ( Signed ) Ruth Lloyd. FROM THE PHI MU AGLAIAN I know the Phi Mus are the smartest girls in school, and I do not see why all the boys are not crazy about us, — but they are not. We are going to have the best frat hall in school, too. Our chapter is one of the largest, and our national standing is as good as any one ' s, too. Even if we do not have dates, we stay out in town and get to go riding all the time. Besides, Fern Helscher is one of the most popular girls in school, and do not forget that she is a Phi Mu. (Signed) Christine Lawrence. Page One hundred ninety-five . Page One hundred ninety-six For the Sake of Science Let Truth Prevail At the expense of an enormous amount of time and labor, the Pirate pub- lication has secured a table of statistics for its readers that is absolutely invaluable. An election was held and some of the most fundamental questions about indi- viduals settled once and for all. Every student voted, and the results represent the conservative opinion of the entire Uni versity. A few professors took advantage of their opportunity and cast a ballot, but the majority declined to express them- selves. We wish to emphasize the fact that these results are absolutely accurate, and have been tabulated with precision by the entire staff.

Newman, famous writer of re- ligious songs, and composer of Lead Kindly Light, has made the surprising an- nouncement that he would rather tango than go to heaven. A tremendous stir has been raised among the leaders- of South- western and other asylums of knowledge as a result of the unexpected statement by Dr. Newman, who has always been known as a devout man, and an unrelenting enemy of all social evils. Dr. Newman himself settled all doubt as to the authenticitv of the report by making the following authorized statement to the press : Lead thou me on ! Lead thou me on ! Guide thou my feet ; I do not ask to see the distant scene; ' One Step ' is enough for me ' . Page One hundred ninety-eight WHY SOME MEN AT MOOD HALL DO NOT HAVE DATES Because mama would not let him put on long pants. Because his suit needs pressing. Because he needs a bath and the talcum powder is out. Because the ladies do not appreciate him. Because one has to leave at ten-thirty from the Annex. Because he loveth no woman, but all women. Because he does not desire a wife. Because it costs too much. Because he is not old enough. Because he has lost faith in woman. Because no girl is good enough. Because they are all too good for him. And because. v Da adli2Ad Wsji TUviX TV. 4dL ' t 7 Note the Names THE CAMPUS CREEP Sinn Brown and Creola Richbourg have applied for a patent on a new type of aesthetic movement known as the Campus Creep. Using this style trans- mission they manage to cover a hundred yards every hour. The advantage of the new movement lies in the fact that bearings are never burned out and the only lubrication needed is mouth grease. THE DELICACY OF MILDA Miss Milda Barton, well known in suffragette circles, made the explanation that she was for Wilson in the last presidential election on account of the fact that some people pronounced bis rival ' s name as if it were spelt H U G S. It would undeniably sound badly to say, I am for Hugs, hence the only alterna- tive was Wilson. A MANLY WID( )W In a conversation with J. D. Foster.

SOUTHWESTERN ' S COMIC OPERA TROUPE The following students of Southwestern, being temperamentally endowed with rare musical ability, have announced their intention to put on a comic opera. The parts taken and the singers are as follows : Eve Wasn ' t Modest Till She Ate That Apple, We ' ll Have to Pass the Apples Again, sung by Ruth Bryan.

Boone) The rays from a wan sick moon were filtered like curtains of light, That pause in passing from Heaven and then are lost in the night. The wind in waves of darkness was rumpling the grass of the lea, And day with dawning found it teasing the spray of the sea. A A aquero came singing, Singing — Singing — Full merrily and free. He wore a sombrerazo, tied by a string neath his chin ; A coat of softest calf and chaps of the brown bear ' s skin. Two silver mounted pistols and a wicked dagger knife Were wedded to him truly for they were love and life. A Yaquero came swinging. Swinging — Swinging — Tn quest of love and wife. His eyes were grey, and as cold as those of the tiger ' s are, They moved with a snap and a fire that rivaled the cold night ' s star. His lips were curled in scorn and there was a pinch in his voice. That told whenever he spoke you, that he was no bandit by choice. A Vaquero came riding, Riding — Riding — To the home of his love — Alloice. ( )n thru the night he ' d plodded across the sand-planted Moor, Nor halted his horse ' till he stood before the ranchdiouse door. He knocked with his quirt on the facing, the door was fastened and barred: He rode his horse to her window that looked out over the yard. And a Vaquero was knocking. Knocking — Knocking — To his love who stood at guard. Slowly she opened the plain board shutters and placed a hand on his mouth, And shook her head and showed him, the foothills off to the South. Then he rose upright in his saddle and cursed with a bitter oath Mini who had killed his parents, — father and mother both. A Vaquero stood cursing, Cursing — Cursing — Him who had stung him in growth. The flesh on her arms was scarred and bruises were on her back. These told the grev-eyed bandit the law was trailing his track. She whispered a word in his ear while there he sat in the gloom, With one light spring from his saddle, he was quickly inside of her room. And a Vaquero was holding, Holding — Holding — A black-tressed lover ' s bloom. Paqe Two hundred six She gave him a dress and scarf and told him to put them on. And meet her in the Arroyo at the first small dash of dawn. He sat for a second like one who hears a voice in a dream, Or like belated travelers, when they hear the panther scream. And a Yaquero stood thinking. Thinking — Thinking — As one who plots a scheme. He changed his coat and chaps for her mother ' s dress of red, And he drew across his shoulders a shawl that lay on the bed. She put on his breeches of leather and buttoned his coat of calf-skin, Then buckled around her his pistols and strapped his hat ' neath her chin. She stood and looked at him musing, Musing — Musing — For she was deserting her kin. She gave him her hand for blessing and swore by the saints she ' d be The one who was taken prisoner — she was to answer as he. She gave him his brace of pistols and told him to stay in the room, Then she called aloud in the darkness, I ' ve captured the bandit and groom. And the Vaquero was standing, Standing — Standing — With his pistols drawn in the gloom. The sheriff came out of his hiding, for he had agreed to her plan. And cuffed and shackled the would-be bandit ' s hand. He mounted his horse that was waiting and told her to do the same. And then rode off with the sheriff the bandit but not the game. And a Vaquero stood laughing, Laughing — Laughing — O ' er the love of his bandit Dame. And then ere the East was streaked with the first faint tint of dawn. A bandit dressed as a woman was waiting with pistols drawn. One shot and the horse went rolling, one spring and the law so grand Was bound with cords from the shawl and left to curse in the sand. And the Vaquero went galloping. Galloping — Galloping — Holding his bride by the hand. As the dawn was brushing the skies, there came to the old priest ' s gate A bandit dressed as a woman, who claimed the woman for mate. The priest rubbed the sleep from his eyes and said they were man and wife. And prayed that a bandit ' s riches, would be their wealth in life. And a Vaquero stood kissing, Kissing — Kissing — A bandit who was his wife.

At first he looked abashed, but finally gained courage enough to smile back and answer their questions with some degree of frankness. One fair maid asked, Will you please turn your back just a minute, mister? Why certainly, 1 would be glad to. Now may I turn around again ? And he wheeled before answer could be given him. Oh — oh — please don ' t look — where is my kimono? Other remarks were heard of a like tone and of meaning. Is there anything 1 can do to assist you, ladies? Yes, please go and sit on the steps of the coach a minute. Well! I like that — if you were considering my comfort, it is far more com- fortable here, I assure you. We weren ' t considering your comfort. However, if you are not afraid of being shocked, you can face us. We are worldly, wise and — The young man did not blush, strange to say, but laughed with a weird, hol- low tone. Then remarked, If ever I go to choose a wife it will not be to the sea shore, but on a Pullman. Why would von, please mister? asked a soft little creature huddled into a knot on the edge of her berth. Hum — eh — well — oh, well, it ' s just more comfortable in a Pullman — Presently the voice of an older woman was heard. Are you girls about ready to retire? Chorus of voices. Yes, good nite. The young man sat down, blinked and then closed his eyes. My, this has been a strenuous day — I am tired out, but it isn ' t so bad after all to be a basket- ball coach, when yon take everything into consideration. He, too, retired, and soon all was quiet. They sped along through the dark night, unmindful of what people would say, for a bunch of basketball girls are as innocent as they think they are not.

If you wanted to make a first class doctor, lawyer or minister you would attend a uni- versity with a reputation. Why not use the same good judg- ment 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 annually for Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Steno, Cotton Classing, Business Administration and Finance ,and Telegraphy than any other similar school in America. Its students have come from 39 different states and seven foreign countries ; its graduates are holding the very best of positions in the leading cities of the United States; many of the positions were secured free through its Employment Department. Hundreds of students who borrowed every cent of their money to attend our school or gave us their note on tuition have found it the best venture of their lives; they were soon able to pay back the borrowed money, continue holding their good job, or work their way through a University as private secretary or go into business for themselves, with assurance of success. If you al- ways remain where you are, you will always he what you are Some of our students are the big men of the country now. Write for our beautiful free catalogue.
