MOOD Bebtcatton r ' O THE Methodist Church and to those Educational leaders of the past and the present who made and are making South- western University possible, The Golden Sou ' - wester is dedicated. As they have given life to the University, so the University is giving back new life to them in the form of better citizens, men and women with higher and more Christian Ideals. It has been a profitable ex- change. The interests of the University and Church are inseparable. Let us hope that our developments will be even greater in the future than the past . ORDER OP BOOKS I.

This institution had been pro- jected by the Texas Methodists in 1856 and operated with growing prosperity and great promise until it succumbed to the disasters of the Civil War. Dr. Mood was expected to resuscitate this institution and to this end he opened the first term after his arrival, January 2, 1869, closing with appropriate exercises the following June. The opening of the second session the following September was encouraging, but in a week or two Yellow Fever appeared at Galveston, soon extended to Houston, and because only two years before Chappell Hill and other towns in that section had been decimated by this fearful epidemic, Dr. Mood, the students and citizens were in the greatest anxiety, and when the report came that it had reached Hempstead, only seven miles away, the community and school were thrown into a panic. It was in the midst of these conditions, while Dr. Mood was constantly in prayer, that a plan, which ultimately became South- western University presented itself to his mind. He carefully committed his plan to paper and at once called a meeting of the Trustees of Soule University. The Board met October 4, 1869, an unusually full attendance being present, and he laid his plan before the Board. The paper began by setting forth the vital importance to Southern Methodism as well as to the general interests of religion and education in Texas, of establishing an institution of learning that would command general confidence and patronage. The paper invited the Conferences of the State to call an Educational Convention to which should be committed the duty of arranging for the organization, location and endowment of a university for the Southwest, to be under the patronage and control of the Texas conferences and of such other conferences as may hereafter desire to co-operate with them. Under existing conditions this paper meant the death of Soule University, but under Dr_ Mood ' s elequent appeal it passed the Board of Trustees with only one dissenting vote. Dr. Mood attended each of the Texas annual conferences that fall and presented the call for the Edu- cational Convention and it was approved and endorsed by each of them in turn. The Convention, which was to consist of the delegates elect to the ensuing General Con- ference, met at Galveston, persuant to call, April 20, 1870. Rev. Robert Alexander was called to the chair. His commanding form had led the hosts of Texas Methodism for a third of a century, and by his person this movement was connected with the heroic days of the young Republic. This convention moved carefully and therefore slowly. The conferences called it to meet next at Waxahachie in April, 1871. Here it was favored with the presidency of Bishop E. M. Marvin, which as a benediction to the movement. This Convention appointed a Board of Commissioners of Location and finally adjourned to meet at Corsicana, November 1, 1871. Bishop Marvin, who had remained in Texas throughout the year, also presided at the Corsicana meeting. Page 1 Bishop J. C. Keener, who presided over the Texas Conferences in the fall of 1872, suggested two distinct Boards of Control, a Board of Trustees and a Board of Curators. The Trustees to be made up of laymen who were to have oversight of the property and all financial matters. The Curators, composed of an equal number of ministers from each of the five Texas Conferences, to have charge of the internal affairs, the election of professors, and conferring of degrees. Bishop Keener had appointed the Curators while presiding over the conferences and the first meeting of the Board was held in Galveston, December 21, 1872, and Bishop Keener presided over this meeting. Rev. F. A. Mood was elected Regent at this time. This meeting marked the first official acts of Southwestern University and this explains why the shield on the seal bears the date 1872. At first the institution was named Texas University and after operating two years under that name it was changed to Southwestern University. Dr. Mood says of the Committee of Location: They visited in person, several points, but agreed quite unanimously, that George- town, possessed by far, the greatest advantages presented by any of the competing points; while the subsidy offered in buildings, lands and money was also in advance of all others. It was publicly announced August 21, 1873, that the institution would be located at George- town, and the town was formally called upon to present its subsidy in legal and authenticated form. Methodists have always recognized it as a fact that higher Christian education is a necessary part of church work. As soon as the battle of San Jacinto threw Texas open to Protestant en- deavor, steps were taken by the Methodists to plant their standards in this land. Rutersville College began operations in January, 1840, nearly a year before the Texas Conference was or- ganized, and the thirty years that intervened, until the educational movement of 1870 that re- sulted in Southwestern University, the Methodists of this state projected some twelve colleges and a University. But at the close of thirty years of struggle, this church had nothing in the way of permanent operations to show for this great outlay of men and money. Dr. Mood selected four of the most conspicuous of these ventures and neglected no step to make his enterprise the legal successor of these defunct institutions, and as many of their alumni and former students were yet living he desired to tie all such to Southwestern University. In preparing the charter for his college Dr. Mood made the 7th section to read: The right to confer degrees, regular and honorary, in the arts and sciences, heretofore conveyed through the Legisla- ture of the State of Texas in charters of Rutersville College, Rutersville; Wesleyan College, San Augustine; Soule University, Chappell Hill; and McKenzie College, Clarksville, Red River County, are hereby transferred and perpetuated and retained to said Curators; and the graduates of said colleges and University shall be entitled to all literary privileges and honors inuring to the other graduates of Southwestern University. The seal of Southwestern University had the names of these institutions interlocked, with the dates of their charters, and as long as Dr. Mood lived the names of the graduates of these old schools appeared annually in our catalogues. The subsidy that Georgetown gave for the location of the University included a plain but capacious stone building having six large lecture rooms and a chapel that couid seat four hundred persons. Having these accommodations at hand, Dr. Mood, the Regent, opened the first session, October 6, 1873, and he was assisted by Professors B. E. Chreitzbert, A. M., and H. M. Reynold, M. D. There were 33 young men who enrolled the first session. Their average age was a little over 17 years, and they were classed as Freshmen and Sophomore. There were no graduates the first year, a sermon from the Regent on Sunday, July 19, 1874, closed the year ' s work. The next session opened favorably with the accession of P. C. Bryce, A. M., called to the chair of Ancient Languages, and W. W. Lewis, A. M., to the chair of Mathematics, vice B. E. Chreitzberg, resigned. A fine religious feeling developed among the students during the year, followed by several conversions. At the close of the session three young men received certificates of gradua- tion in certain schools, and a number of ministers from the conferences came to rejoice with the Faculty, the Trustees, and Curators over the measure of success achieved. Dr. J. H. McLean of the North Texas Conference preached the Commencement sermon to a large congregation. Page 18 An increase of students marked the opening of the third session, Monday, October 4, 1875. At the beginning of this session Prof. S. G. Sanders, A. M., in charge of the Chair of Modern Languages, was added to the Faculty, and he became a great accession both to the local church and to the University. He is second only to Dr. Mood in the excellence and importance of the service he gave Southwestern in its early days. He served the University some sixteen years. He died while filling the Chair of Ancient Languages, September 30, 1892. Rev. N. T. Burks, A. M., also came to the University in September, 1875. He was Professor of Mathematics. He served until January, 1879, when he was succeeded by C. C. Cody, A. M. The first class to graduate was at the commencement of 1876. Four young men, James Camp- bell, B. Douglas Dashiel, Alfred S. John, and George H. Stovall were awarded the Bachelor of Arts Degree. Rev. I. G. John, D. D., preached the commencement sermon to a large congrega- tion. In 1876 the I. and G. N. railroad extended its line to Austin going through Round Rock, ten miles form Georgetown. This made the University more accessible to the outside world. It was two years later that a group of Georgetown citizens, with home capital, built the tap Hne to Round Rock. It was in the fall of 1876 that Bishop D. S. Doggett presided over the Texas conferences. The representatives on the Board of Curators was increased from one to five mem- bers for each conference. The Bishop attended the commencement of 1877 and presided over the Board of Curators. His presence was notable because of counsel he gave and his great dis- course preached to a crowded house July 8, 1877. From the beginning of operations at Georgetown there was a growing demand for the ad- mission of young ladies to the classes of the University, but because there were Methodist Female Colleges in the State Dr. Mood had refused admission to all applicants. But the demand growing more insistant the Curators authorized the Faculty to open a Young Ladies Department. The basement of the Presbyterian Church was temporarily secured, and the Faculty advertised that the session beginning September 9, 1878, young ladies would be admitted on the same conditions as young men, but taught in separate classes and separate buildings. A temporary building for young ladies was erected the next year. The first class to graduate young ladies was at the com- mencement of 1879, when Misses Kittie Mood and Mary Steele received the M. L. degree. The M. L. degree, which was an accommodated degree, was conferred on young ladies for about four years, and afterwards discontinued. At the commencement of 1883, Misses L. B. Henderson, Virginia Mosely, and Mrs. Anna M. Richardson (nee) Mathis graduated with B. S. degree. In 1887 Mrs. Willie Ford (nee) Sampey received the A. M. degree. She was the first woman to receive that degree from Southwestern. At the Northwest Texas Annual conference held at Georgetown in 1883, under an earnest appeal by Dr. R. A. Young of Nashville, Tennessee, assisted by the Financial Agent, Dr. H. A. Bourland, the start was made for securing money for erecting the Woman ' s Building. On this occasion above $35,000 were subscribed which afterwards increased. The Snyder Brothers, Dudley, John and Thomas, gave $21,000 of this amount. The subscriptions were slow in materializ- ing. At the next session of the Northwest Texas conference, held at Waco in November, 1884, Dr. F. A. Mood, after addressing the conference in behalf of Christian Education and Southwestern University, retired to his room to breathe his last. His body was buried at Georgetown. In June, 1885, Rev. J. W. Heidt, D. D., of Georgia was elected Regent. The University continued to make progress under his administration. In 1886 Mrs. Giddings of Brenham gave $3,000 to erect a Helping Hall where young men needing help might secure lodging free and board at cost. Mrs. Giddings afterwards added a dining room to the Hall system and the conferences supplemented its capacity by building five cottages at a cost of $550 each. The Woman ' s Building was finished under Dr. Heidt ' s administration. In the fall of 1889 Dr. Heidt resigned and the duties of the Regent devolved upon the Vice-Regent, Rev. J. H. McLean, D. D., until June, 1891, when he was elected Regent. For six years Dr. McLean guided the affairs of the University with great success. His name is closely connected with the University almost from the beginning. He has faithfully served the institution as Curator, Financial Agent, Professor, Vice- Regent and Regent until June, 1897, when he resigned to resume pastoral work in the North Texas Conference As the Board of Curators did not elect Dr. McLean ' s successor in 1887 the duties of RegentleTl Page 19 upon the Chairman of the Faculty, Rev. John R. Allen, A. B., D. D., the following year. Dr. Allen had come to the University as Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy in 1892 and had filled several positions with great acceptability. Most of the time he had charge of the Woman ' s Building and he added the East wing to that Building besides making other improvements. At the commencement of 1908, Robert S. Hyer, LL. D., was elected Regent. The period of his administration was one of great prosperity in material things in Texas and the University kept pace with the times. The Main Administration Building and Mood Hall were begun and completed. In 1906 the original charter trat had been granted February 6, 1875, was revised so as to merge the tw f o Boards of Control into one Board, the Board of Trustees, and to chang e the title Regent to President. Bishop Ward inspired the Summer School of Theology, which grew to prominence and did much good for Texas Methodism. Dr. John R. Nelson inaugurated the Medical College at Dallas, he also did much towards projecting and completing Mood Hall. Professor R. B. McSwain did much in standardizing the courses of study. An effort was begun in 1910 by Dr. Hyer and others to move Southwestern University from Georgetown, first to Forth Worth and then to Dallas, having failed completely Dr. Hyer resigned at the commence- ment of 1911, and was soon afterwards elected to the Presidency of Southern Methodist University, an institution that grew out of the aggitation to move Southwestern University to Dallas. The Trustees accepted Dr. Heyer ' s resignation in 1911 and at the same meeting elected Dr. C. M. Bishop President. He was a man of rare scholarship, who had filled many places of prominence in the ch urch. He was formally inaugurated December 11, 1911. He soon restored confidence in the permanency of Southwestern University and brought back its old time prosperity. The Science Building was projected and completed under Dr. Bishop and the Endowment Fund was materially added to. Dr. Bishop resigned in 1922 to re-enter the pastorate and the Trustees elected Dr. P. W. Horn President. Dr. Horn will be inaugurated at the coming Jubilee. In this brief history the limits of the paper made it necessary to omit many names of students, faculty and Trustees or Curators who played important parts in the development of the institu- tion. It is hoped that some day a complete history of the University will be written. Page 20 Pageantry in Southwestern University And pomp, and feast, and revelry With mask and antique pageantry, Such sights as youthful poets dream, On summer eves by haunted stream. — Milton. In Spirit of Southwestern, given in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the college, Southwestern University presents its ninth pageant. The initial pageant in the form of a May Fete was produced in 1915 under the able management of Miss Laura Kuykendall, Dean of Women, and Miss Etelka Evans, Dean of the Department of Music, and formed the occasion for the homecoming of many former students. Each succeeding pageant has been produced on an increasingly elaborate scale by the directors of the first pageant who have also been the moving spirits of all the succeeding ones. The number of returning students has increased each year, until, in 1923, the Golden Jubilee pageant marks the climax of the greatest homecoming in the history of Southwestern. Former pageants have taken place in May and have been celebrated with festivities lasting for two days. The chief features have been the Queen ' s banquet on the first evening, the hanging of May baskets in the early morning, a ball game, and the pageant itself in the late afternoon. Each year the pageant has been appropriate to the spirit of the time, as the World War pageant, the Victory pageant, and the Homecoming pageant in 1923. Southwestern University was the first school in Texas to take up pageantry from an educational standpoint. The public schools of the State have been in- vited from year to year to send representatives, and large numbers have re- sponded. Thus the pageantry of Southwestern has become so widely known that graduates and former students of Southwestern have been called upon to direct pageants in many public schools of the state. In this manner a closer contact has been established between the college and the public schools of Texas and the sphere of the influence of Southwestern is steadily increasing. Nine years of systematic training culminate in Spirit of Southwestern the Golden Jubilee pageant of 1923, which Southwestern University presents in honor of its semi-centennial celebration.

President of Southwestern University Paqe Si Paul Whitfield Horn Sixth President of Southwestern University Paul Whitfield Horn was born in Boonville, Missouri, on April 30, 1870. After graduation with the bachelor ' s and master ' s degrees from Central College, of Fayette, Missouri, he taught school in Tennessee and Texas, spending nine years as superinte ndent in Sherman, from which city he went to Houston in 190-i as superintendent of city schools. He held this position until June, 1921, when he was elected to the head of the American School in the City of Mexico. In June, 1922, he was unanimously chosen sixth president of Southwestern University to succeed Charles McTyeire Bishop. During his early career as a teacher he engaged himself in writing feature articles for a few of the great daily newspapers of the middle west, and stories for several magazines. After entering definitely upon administrative work he turned his pen to constructing books upon pedagogical subjects, and has written several textbooks for use in the public schools. His ability as an educator has been recognized by the teachers of Texas whc elected him to the presidency of the Texas State Teachers ' Associa- tion a few years ago; and he has been honored by the teachers of the United States in his election to one of the vice-presidencies of the National Educational Association. He has long been a prominent member of the Methodist Church; he is a stanch democrat, not only in politics, but generally; he is an enthusiastic life member of the Rotary Club, having been honored with the coveted member- ship just as he was leaving Houston. Upon the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of Baylor University that institution conferred upon him the degree of doctor of laws; and the same degree was conferred upon him that same year by South- western University, in recognition of his outstanding services to the church and state. His election to the presidency of Southwestern was acclaimed by all the friends of the college, and since he has been actively engaged upon the campus he has won the admiration and confidence of the faculty and student body. His unusual promptness in action; his tremendous vitality and energy; his efficient mastery of the routine problems of administration; his broad human sympathy; his interest in scholarship; his impeccable moral character and his possession of those qualities that mark the Christian gentleman have already stamped him as an admirable president of Southwestern, and assure a successful advance for the college in its mission of educating the youth of Texas for lives of rich, creative usefulness in the service of humanity ' s highest ideals. — W.

McCullough Austin Page 42 V (josses Page Jf3 Senior Qlass History In the year ' 19 there entered in line, One hundred seventy Freshmen looking so fine — All the Profs hit ' em with exams — In ' 20 only one hundred and seven were left for crams. At this bunch Cupid took a shot, In ' 21, fifty-four was the lot. Teaching, and marriage, and lack of ambition Kept a few more from the goal of graduation. So now there remains, who yielded not, Sixty-two Seniors, the cream of the lot. Several cogs of the Pirate machine will be missing when the initial practice is rung up next year. Pearson, after four years on the squad, is leaving; Patton and Rees are also being lost via the graduation route. The graduation of the class of 1923 marks the close of the University ' s fiftieth year. The class of 1923 is the Semi-Centennial class — its commence- ment will be marked by a program far more pretentious than has marked the entry of any other Southwestern class into the post-graduate school of life. The horizon of our future is alight with hope and promise. The times are full of opportunities greater than were ever dreamed of before. And there will ripen a harvest of school teachers, lawyers, doctors, and preachers whose triumphs will drown all the triumphs of the former Senior classes that Southwestern has ever known. - — Gladys H eath Page kh John Bennett Entrikin, A.

Page 65 Page 66 JUNIORS Page 67 Junior Qlass History The Junior class of 1922- ' 23 began as an unusually large Freshman class which emerged into a smaller, although prominent Sopho more class, and today — though Cupid has ensnared many of our former band and others have left because of the effect of exams — we find ourselves a Junior class that is larger than the average. With our attainment of rank as upperclassmen came a fuller realization of responsibility and development of personality which has enabled us to contribute our share to the social enjoyments of the student body and the activities fostered by our Alma Mater. Eight of the letters awarded in athletics this year went to Juniors. Buddie Foster, Billie Magee, Potty Reynolds and Monroe Vivion represented us in Football. Buddie Foster proved such a favorite that the team elected him to captain the team this year. Frank Steinle represented us in Basketball and W. L. Ayres is on the Track team as our representative. The Juniors are well represented in scholarship enrollment, for fourteen of the twenty student members of the Scholarship Society are juniors. Eight of the twenty- two members of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. cabinets and seven members of the Ministerial Association are from the Junior class. W. L. Ayres, Major Cook, and John Dunn represented us this year in Inter- collegiate debating. Monroe Vivion is editor-in-chief of the Sou ' wester this year. John Dunn is editor-in-chief of the Megaphone, and M. G. Boone is assisting him as business manager. Musical talent is not lacking and we lend our loyal support to the literary societies to make that phase of Southwestern successful. We have entered every activity and are gaining for ourselves accordingly, and as we draw near to the close of our third year we are beginning to be more appreciative of our Alma Mater and what it is meaning to us. With bright hopes we face our senior year and the future with a desire to answer the ringing call to service there, back in old Southwestern. — George Steinman Page 68 C. D. Acker Pi Kappa Alpha.

Many of the worthy sailors of ' 21 were not there but others filled the empty places among the crew. Now we had a new ship called The Sophomore. Encouraged by the praises of Southwestern and with thoughts of our higher position, we paid little attention to the critical and scorning remarks made by two ships near by — The Junior and The Senior. We left port determined to return with the largest cargo ever brought in by the good ship Sophomore. All worked hard guiding each department through the many storms and gales of our nine months ' voyage. Even tho we encountered many a backward push, we finally arrived with our cargo. There are few crews so fortunate as to possess the combined ability, will power, and talent of the Sophomore crew of ' 22 and ' 23. We had revealed our superiority in every field of activity and were anxious to tell of the triumphs of our voyage. Our cargo was the envy of all. We had loads of touchdowns made by our men in football. Neither did we lack in scores made in basketball and baseball. There were memories of many a deck party made livelier by those of our crew who were members of Southwestern ' s Glee Club and Orchestra. With laurels gained through oratory our ship almost overflowed. As we step from our faithful old ship, The Sophomore. let us remember both the storms and the bright sunny days spent at sea. — Lena Belle Briggs Page 80 Donald Q.

A Freshman Qlass History On September twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred and twenty-two, one of the largest freshman classes ever assembled in the history of Southwestern Uni- versity embarked upon an adventurous career in the unknown realms of learning. Tho unaccustomed to leading, its members quickly found their place in college activities, for they soon showed that they had the ability. In scholarship as well as in athletics they stood pre-eminent. The highest scholastic averages during the fall term were claimed by freshmen, Miss Helen Brewer, William Evans, and Marian Allan. At the end of the football season five freshmen were awarded the coveted varsity S as an acknowledgment of their distinctive gridiron prowess. In basketball as in football the freshmen class was well repre- sented. The Freshman Party was the predominant success of the year. The class president arrived at the hour set for the function, thereby breaking the custom of allowing upperclassmen to keep him away until a later hour. This year the musical talent of the class has increased the personnel of the band and the orchestra, developing them into the best organizations of their kind in the history of the institution. The director of the band and two members of the string quartet are numbered in this talented group. As time rapidly advances the members of the freshmen class realize that they must make the best use of their opportunities in the years that remain and lay a strong foundation for life with the same enthusiasm they had on entering Southwestern. — Carl Newman Bachtel Page 92 Marian Allan Midland Florence Anderson Georgetown Kathryn Atkins Llano W.

Critic Organized in the early days of the institution, the Alamo Literary Society has been an important factor in the student life of Southwestern University in the training of its members for the platform and public life. Her members are always interested in the different student activi- ties and she always claims a share of the honors. Many men prominent both in church and state affairs were old Alamos and they still are loyal to that organization which they love so dearly- Although the literary society is not so prominent as it was several years ago due to the fact that other student activities have been inaugurated, yet the literary society remains the center of activities around which all others must rotate.

For forty-eight years San Jacinto has held a place of importance in the literary activities of Southwestern. Through the training of the Society, lawyers, doctors, ministers, and men of all worthy pro- fessions have been enabled to go out into life to bring honor on them- selves and the school. There are today men in almost all the towns and cities of the state and many outside of our state who attribute their success to San Jacinto. But San Jacinto is not a Society of the past. It has many things in the present of which we are proud. Out of its ranks this year have come six inter-collegiate debaters who have brought victory for the most part to the school, and the society. One delegate to the state Oratorical contest will give all that he has to bring honors on our school. The Editor-in-chief of the Megaphone for 1923-24 also came from the ranks of this society. The Brooks Prize Debaters for the San Jacinto last year won a victory over our worthy opponents, the Alamos. But the activities of the society have not been restricted to literary lines alone. In the spring of ' 22 the San Jac baseball team defeated the Alamo nine 13 to 2 and this year the football team of the society downed their rivals 7 to 0. The basketball games were forfeited in favor of the San Jacs. The baseball game in the spring of ' 23 — well the outcome remains to be seen but the team will again give its all toward another victory for the society they love and honor. Page 123 DUNN J.tt?

Davidson Glen D. Willbern The Southwestern University Scholarship Society was founded in 1915 under the leadership of Dr. C. M. Bishop with the aim of promoting scholarship among the members of the student body. So successf il was the society in South- western that plans were made to extend the organization to other colleges of the state. Accordingly a conference of representatives from the University of Texas, Texas Woman ' s College, Baylor College for Women, Southern Metho- dist University, and Southwestern University met at Southwestern on February 22, 1922, and organized the Scholarship Societies of Texas. Another conference of thirteen colleges was held at the University of Texas on February 22, 1923, at which time the Constitution for the Scholarship Societies of Texas was adopted. Dr. J. C. Granbery was elected president of the Societies in recognition of his initiative in the work. A few changes in the local constitution were made necessary by entrance into the State Societies. The ranking tenth of the Junior and Senior Classes is eligible to membership, the previous nine majors work being considered. Mem- bers of the faculty are no longer eligible to membership in the Society, but an Advisory Committee of three faculty members is elected yearly with the privi- lege of membership during the year. The objects of the Scholarship Society are the stimulation, promotion, and recognition of scholarship. A prize is given by the Society at Commencement to the Freshman who makes the highest grade during his first year in college. Each year an illustrious scholar addresses the Society on some topic of interest to scholars.

Paqe 129 Page 130 The zMask and Wig Qlub WITH the presentation of If I Were King on Thursday night, May 31, closed the Fifth Season for the Mask and Wig Club of Southwestern University. The other plays of the season were The Merchant of Venice and a night of One-Act plays. The courses in Dramatic Literature which constitute the work of the Mask and Wig Club are a combination of lecture and workshop methods. The students are divided into groups to permit of intensive individual training in the practical responsibilities of stage craft and directing. At the end of each course the Club selects some play or piece of dramatic work and presents it to the students and College community, giving special attention to costuming and lighting. The purposes of the Mask and Wig Club are to increase the re- sources of Southwestern University Dramatic leadership, and to raise standards and appreciation of Dramatic Literature, also to give oppor- tunity for an ever increasing desire for Dramatic self-expression, also to develop leadership for dramatic work in church, club, school, neighbor- hood, and community. Ti Ka£pa Delta The Texas Alpha Chapter of the Honorary Forensic Society, the Pi Kappa Delta, was established June 6th, 1921. It is the purpose of this organization to stimulate progress in, and to promote the interests of, intercollegiate oratory, debate and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of intercollegiate fellowship, or brotherly co-operation and interest, and conferring upon deserving candidates a badge of distinction, proficiency and honor, varied and graduated according to the merit and achievement. The following members are in residence: W. L. Ayres, E. G. Horger, Temple Boggess, Allen Wright, S. S. Purcell, David Searls, J. S. Cook, John Dunn, Glen D. Wilbern, Nina Nunn, Ruby Dunn, H. L.

There are thirty men who have thus consecrated their lives. The Association meets regularly once each week for the devotional services. At this weekly meeting, their own problems, as well as those of the general student body and the community, are discussed, and helpful suggestions offered. Social welfare work is regularly carried on in the county jail and poor farm, and throughout the local community. Church and Sunday School services are conducted by the Association in various rural communities throughout the county. It is the purpose of the Association to co-operate with the uni- versity faculty in setting and maintaining the highest possible moral and religious standard within the student body, and that such may be exemplified in the private and school life of its members.

To lead them into membership and service in the Christian Church. 3. To promote their growth in Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Bible and Prayer. 4. To influence them to devote themselves in united effort with all Christians to making the will of Christ effective in human society, and to extending the kingdom of God throughout the world. Although starting with a cabinet entirely composed of new men with the exception of the President, the Y this year has maintained the high purpose and kept up the work in Southwestern. The cabinet put on a stunt night in the spring term and as a result of it three men, Rodney Kidd, Bolton Boone and W. L. Ayres, were sent to Hollister Student Conference which met for ten days of inspiration and instruction at Hollister, Mo. In the fall the Y put on an intensive plan of new student work. About 200 letters of welcome and advice were written to the new students. After arrival every aid possible was given to them in getting adjusted to their new surroundings. At a stag party they became acquainted with each other and the old students. Weekly devotional were held throughout the year. One prayer meeting was conducted nightly in Mood Hall. During the winter term four dis- cussion groups met weekly. The Y. M. C. A. is the most important student Christian organization in the college for men. It stands for the highest standards of morals, scholar- ship and sportsmanship. It is the aim of the Y. M. C. A. of Southwestern University to make religious practical as a working force in the lives of her young men. Page 135 Page 136 The T. W. Q. A. Sue Mood .

Every woman in the Woman ' s Building has vitally felt its influence. It has many departments constantly at work, besides its weekly devotional services. They try to create a religious atmosphere for the girls, besides affording many parties, Stunt Nites, and carnivals, and other opportunities for enjoyment. The Y. W. C. A. has been able to run on a sound financial basis and practically every girl supports it whole heartedly. Big things are in the minds of the next year cabinet.

He has instilled in his men the ideal of playing the game from the standpoint of true sportsmanship and love for the game rather than to play the game to win at any price; because of this he has won the admiration, love and respect of every student in Southwestern. Coach Gardner is a law graduate of Carlisle and while he was there he trained under Glen Warner, the widely known and famous coach in America. While in school he gained fame as an All- American Football End. He won 12 letters in the four major sports. With the present prospects we are confident that Mr. Gardner will bid fair for championship clubs next year.

Pave 171 FOSTER — End and Captain Buddie the skipper of the Pirate crew, developed one of fightenest clubs to be found in the state, and out of entirely new material. Not only did he show his stuff in the kind of club he put out, but one could safely bet that one of the last men to come up out of a play would be the captain. He takes delight in going down on punts, and never was he known to miss a chance to bust up an end run or an off tackle play. He gave a good example of his ability in the game against the Mustangs and also against Texas, and won ' t be forgotten by either bunch soon. CAMP — -Guard and Captain- Elect Lomus is one of the letter men from last year ' s team. In every game he always gives a good account of himself and his ability to play his position. He weighs only 165 pounds but he knows how to make every ounce count for fight and that is the reason that his team mates have selected him to pilot the Pirate crew next fall. VIVION— Guard Monroe is the type of man that every coach loves to have in the line. He is an aggressive and powerful man in guard position and his hobby in a game was to see how many plays he could ' smear behind the opponents line. We shall all remember his battle cry, They shall not pass, in the Texas, and A. and M. games. Page 172 REYNOLDS— Tackle Potty is a huskie and weighs 215 pounds and knows how to handle his size and strength in breaking up plays and stopping ' em behind the line. He had rather see the play coming his way than for it to go toward the other side of the line. We shall all remember Potty in the game against the Yellow Jackets this fall where he proved his merit as a fighter. HAWKINS— Tackle Hawk was always in the game and played it with all the strength, skill and wits he had. He was all hands, arms and shoulders when it came to tearing up interference and tackling the runner. Hawk should look back upon the Howard-Payne game with pleas- ure and satisfaction. He was also one of the letter men of last year ' s team. AIKEN— End and Tackle Big Aiken is one of those fellows who puts his all into the game. Fvery ounce of his 220 pounds is put in whatever he is playing. He plays almost every position on the squad, but he showed up in his best form at his old position of tackle in the game against the Long- horns. Th is is his first year to play on the Pirate crew and wc are looking forward with interest to his work next season. m :: i:: ' :SS.:™: J™ : Page 173 SKIPWORTH— Fullback Skipworth, better known as Pap, was handicapped in the early part of the season by minor injuries, but displayed a wonderful amount of nerve and fight. His superior brand of foot ball was shown in his ability of line plunging and the backing up of the line on defense. And he made use of his powerful 185 pounds. We look forward to his return to the gridiron next fall. MAGEE — Quarter and Half buck Rillie was known as the midget backfield man, and he played both quarter and half equally well. He was one of the fastest backfield men in the State and in every game our opponents were always watch- ing, trying to keep their eyes on him. He was one of the most valuable men we had in the backfield and once loose with the ball he was goal bound. WATERSTON— Halfback Tass is a product of George- town High and he proved his worth early in the season and lived up to his record. He was a hard plunger, good, sure tackier and could skirt the ends with his speed. In the game against Howard-Payne he played a wonderful game. He could always be depended upon to get his man. Page i 4 PERRIN— End Tome came to us this fall, a product of Georgetown High, and he lived up to the standard that his two brothers had set before him. He was a crafty, hard fighter and his hobby was pulling down passes and going down on punts. We are looking forward to him to be even a better man next year. WHITEHURST— Center Whitehorse, after spending a year on the yanagan club, made his presence felt with the varsity squad this fall in a very creditable manner. He was one of the hardest fighters we had in the gang. GOODRICH— Center Early in the season, Louis received an injured knee which hindered him during part of the season. He displayed a type of fight and aggressiveness, that won for him the admiration and respect of his team mates and all that knew him. He under- stood playing his position and never failed to make his pres- ence felt in every game. Page 175 BACHTEL— Guard Adam came to us this year as a Freshman from Indiana. His steady, willing, and con- sistent work gained for him favor with all the crew, and before we knew it Coach was sending him into the battle as guard. Adam played his stellar game against S. M. U. and never once, when called upon, did he fail to deliver the goods. He ' ll be back next year, going strong. KIDD— Halfback Captain, the old track star from last year, came out as a backfield man. His fast foot- work, together with his 160 pounds of grit and energy, stood him in good stead in his position as halfback. He was called upon many times during the season to show his stuff, and never did he fail to do so, but the Firates never fully realized his value until the Army game when he broke loose with his speed, and grin (?) for a touchdown on a thirty-five yard end run. MULLEN — Manager Shelley, one of the best man- agers ever at S. U., was always working for the betterment of the club in every possible way. He played his high card at meal time and he won our hearts thru our stomachs and by his untiring efforts for the con- venience and comforts of the team. Page 176 Season Writeup Reviewing the past season from victories won, it may not seem to some very laudable. Out of the ten games played we won four. The season opened with a game against the San Marcos Baptist Academy, defeating them by a score of 17 to 3. SAN MARCOS NORMAL 0— S. U. 20. In the next game we met our friendly rivals San Marcos Normal. This game ran true to our promise to them from last year; we defeated them 20 to 0. A. AND M. 32— S. U. 0. Our next fight followed a week later with A. and M. Here we met our first defeat. A. and M. staged a come back after having lost a week before to Howard-Payne. We lost to them a stub- bornly fought battle, 32-0. HOWARD-PAYNE 7— S. U. 0. In one of the most thrilling games of the season, the Yellow Jackets, after putting up a fight that was met by a superior brand, succeeded, in the of the fourth quarter, in scoring one lone touchdown which won the game for them. For three and one-half quarters the Pirates held and never let them make a first down, and the game rocked along largely a punting duel until the third quarter which was decidely in favor of the Pirates. Whitehurst recovered a fumble and then Magee ripped off a 35-yard gain over right tackle. Crump tried a placement from the 20- yard line and failed and the end of the quarter stopped the drive. RICE INSTITUTE 6— S. U. 0. Rice Institute was our next opponent. We made them a present of a loosely played game. The lack of team work and co-ordination, combined with a 75-yard penalty, were the chief factors in demoralization of the players, and we lost the game 6-0. S. M. U. 46— S. U. 13. For the first time in the history of the school, S. M. U. succeeded in defeating the Pirates. They had a club that was superior to us that day and defeated us chiefly by her cut back plays through tackle. We proved their equal in the use of passing, scoring our first touchdown on a 30-yard pass, Crump to Foster, and later a second, Crump to Perrin. The Pirates played 15 men in the game against 31 men of the Mustangs. TEXAS 26— S. U. 0. In our annual tilt with the Longhorns last fall, we played them almost to a standstill during the first half and at the end of this the score stood 7-0. Texas came back at the beginning of the Page 177 12 second half with new vigor and determination, and in a very short time raised the score to 26-0. Here we settled down and a punter ' s duel ensued. It seems as though we were destined not to score against Texas because four times during the game we had chances for touchdowns and luck failed us. Texas can look back to that game as one of her thrilling and hard fought games of the past season. AUSTIN COLLEGE 7— S. U. 0. Handicapped in every way by a sea of mud and water, the Kangaroos defeated us in Sherman 7 to 0. Playing on both teams was slowed to a very slow pace due to the slippery mud of the field. It was a grim fight in the center of the field the majority of the time, with the exception of the only flash of the game when Hollis scored a 65-yard tun for the lone counter. The Pirates made a desperate effort in the third period, and were finally halted on the Austin College 8-yard line. DANIEL BACKER 7— S. U. 4, The battle was stubbornly fought throughout and was clearly a fight of speed against weight. The mammoth White, fullback, on the first down, showed his strenght by tailing his 6 ft. 7 in., 238 pound, prehistoric giant of a center, Craig, for eight yards. But with all their weight, Magee proved to be too fast for them and through the good offensiveness of the team, combined with his speed and skill, he scored two touchdowns against their one. This was one of our best ex- hibitions of nerve and speed, for the team demonstrated this quality of sportsmanship. 2ND DIVISION STARS 0— S. U. 28. The undefeated army stars of 2nd Division fell before the perfect interference and speedy backs of the Pirate Crew at the Camp Travis Stadium, Turkey Day. This was a game where speed combined with craftiness surpassed the heavy team. The soldiers put up their strongest offense about the close of the first quarter when they took the ball from their own 20-yard line to our 5-yard line in a series of brilliant plays but here cast anchor and we held them for downs. Magee drew first blood in the first quarter on a beautiful run around right end for a touchdown. Kidd followed in the second quarter with a beautiful 35-yard run around end for the second count, then in the fourth Dixon and Hawkins both sbored touchdowns. This was one of the prettiest exhibitions of football tactics that we gave the entire season Pat e 178 Top row: Gardner t,Coach), Lee, Steinle, Ellis, Perrin, Mullen, Stevenson, (Manager) Bottom row: Kidd, Adams (Captain-elect), Camp (Captain), Wray, Skipworth SCHEDULE Jan 3, Temple Y at Georgetown.

Page 179 CAMP — Forward and Captain Lamux deserves much credit for the fight and drive that he kept in the squad as a unit. He was one of the two letter men to return from last year ' s team and he was shifted from guard to forward and proved a wonder with his side step, reverse pivot, freak backward pass and consistent work. He will be back next year. ADAMS — Forward and Captain- Elect This was his first season with the varsity and by his con_ sistent work, won for him the confidence of the entire team and the captaincy for this next year. KIDD— Guard Kidd came up from the second team of last year. He was a guard that could be depended upon at all times. His chance came in the St. Edwards game and from that time he had his place cinched on the team. Kidd was especially adapted at being right where the opposing man least expected him. SKIPWORTH— Guard When Norman became ineligi- ble and things looked dark for the Pirates, Skipworth stepped forward and despite his lack of experience filled the vacant shoes to perfection. He was one of those charging, fighting guards that all forwards fear. He will prove a terror next year. Page ISO WRAY— Center Dick could always be de- pended upon to get the jump on his opponents. He did not shoot many goals, but he was always passing the ball to some- one in a better shooting position. Although only a Freshman he played the pivot position like a veteran. STEINLE— Guard A letter man of last year was the best possible utility man that any team could possess. He was always ready and capable to fill either a guard or center position. Steinle has another year and will prove to be a stumbling block for all aspirants to Guard positions. LEE — Forward Lee came to us with a record with the Temple Y and high school. He proved that he was capable of living up to his reputation. He was fast and shifty and always gave his opponent lots of trouble. Lee should be able to take Nemo ' s place as a point getter next year. STEVENSON— Manager It is not always the good luck of a team to have as capable a manager as Steve proved to be. He was always ready and anxious to serve any of the players. Steve was ap- preciated and admired by all the members of the squad. Page 181 Season Writeup When the Skippers piped away for the Pirates to report for basketball, there were only two letter men to stand by from last year ' s crew. Captain Lamux Camp and Steinle, using this as a nucleus around which to build a machine, Coach Gardner began practice December 10, 1922. It was indeed a hard task to take raw material and polish and develop it into a finished product as rapidly as he did this team. As is the case; with a new string of men that have never played together before the first part of the season the scoring side of the machine did not look so good, but as the season advanced, and the boys got together they showed that they were going to give a fair account of themselves. The team had quite a number of set-backs, due to injuries and men flunking grades causing them to be ineligible, but by the middle of the season the old Pirate Ship began to settle down and sail with more ease and hold her own. This season was the birth of practically a new team, and we are look- ing forward to next season with pleasure, for the prospects are indeed bright. Jan. 3 Temple Y 12 S.

The last of the season found him hitting it true to old form. He is a member of the relay team. REES Rookie is a letter man from last season and is living true to his pre-established record and has proven to be one of the best milers in the T. I. A. A. He is a Senior, and his absence will be keenly felt next year. SKIPWORTH Pap is one of the best quarter men that we have had in a long time, possessing the gamest finish that has been seen on the track this season. He is also a good weight man and a member of the relay team. GUENZEL Guenzel is a combination man proving his ability as a hurdler and high jumper in the Texas meet. With this year ' s experience he will be a valuable man next year. BURGIN Burgin is one of the best high jumpers in the T. I. A. A. He holds a high school record of 6 ft. 1 inch. He proved his ability as a point winner in the Texas meet. MAGEE Billie is a dependable dash man and the way he wins his events is by his quick get away and his fast stepping. LOWRY Brick has the reputation of being the hardest worker on the team. We are looking forward to him filling W. L. ' s- place next year. Page 18 it GRAY Albert is one of the hardest trainers on the team and he will prove to be a valuable distance man with a little seasoning. STEINLE Steinle with his skill and natural ability is showing up good with the javelin. PERRIN Perrin is showing up well in the hurdles. He has good form and lots of endurance which will make him a valuable man. CAMP Lamar is our main stay with the javelin. He puts every ounce of his 175 pounds into his throw, which is the secret of his success. BARCUS John hurdles and is a member of the relay team. He showed his sterling worth in the Normal meet. WATERSTON Tass is a quarter miler and a member of the relay. He comes to us from Georgetown High with a splendid record to his credit. AYRES W. L. is a half miler and his endurance has won for him many races. He is a Senior this year and it will be a severe loss to the team next vear. WJHITEHURST— Manager Whitehorse filled the posi- tion of manager with the thought and care of his team always foremost. Nothing was ever lacking, due to his intense interest for the welfare of the boys. Page isr, Review of the Season Track work began in earnest in December with about 25 men reporting regu- larly and things looked good until the epidemic of mumps began in the latter part of January and lasted until the latter part of March. This caused a delay in consistent practice and was the reason for four of the men not getting their pictures in with the rest of the team, but over and above all difficulties the men have been giving good ac- count of themselves in each of the three meets that we have had thus far. We are looking forward to the T. LA. A. meet which is to be held here this year and we feel confident that the marathon blood and ability of the Pirates will be found at the finish around the top of the ladder. Our first meet was with Texas University and the score was largely in favor of Texas, but this did not make us feel bad because they have a much larger school and student body to pick their athletes from and the meet was held on their own track. Our second meet was with Rice Institute and the weather conditions on that date and just prior to it were very much against ideal conditions, and the field was wet and heavy from the heavy rains. We lost this meet on a comparatively small score for a track meet. We traveled all the night before and got into Houston just in time for breakfast. Of course this was hard on the men and they felt the effects of having traveled all night, but that spirit that charac- terizes a Pirate gave vent to itself, and the boys put up a heroic fight. Our next meet came with San Marcos Normal and we give the credit for their win- ning this meet to their two giant weight men. We won a majority of the points in the dashes and distance races and made them look sick in the relay, winning that by fifty yards. Their weight men, however, took care of their part nobly.

He bids fair to be as good a third base- man as S. U. has ever had. S. ROBINSON— Pitcher Big Rock is an old letter man tho he has not been with us for three years. He is our main stay on the pitching staff, having a nice head and showing an ability to hit. G. ROBINSON— Shortstop Little Rock, as he is better known, is a nice ball player. He fields well and hits steady. He is playing nice ball for his first year and is making S. U. a good man. J. R. McDANIEL— First Base Mac is following in the footsteps that his two brothers before him have set. He fields his position with ease and accuracy and has his hitting eye on ' em this year. He is steady and consistent in his playing. J. D. HARDIN— Second Base Major has been lead off man and has a good eye, hitting well and fielding good, covering lots of ground and robbing opponents of many hits. This is Hardin ' s first year on the Varsity. FINLEY NORMAN— Pitcher Lumberfoot is a Freshman and hails from Houston. He plays his position well, and bids fair to be S. U. ' s best mound artist next year. Page. 188- HARVEY— Center Field Tho this is Puss ' Freshman year, he handles himself like the excellent player that he is. He covers lots of territory in the outfield and is a sure fielder, always freezing on to those that come his way. HARRY OREM— Outfield This is Harry ' s first year with the Varsity, and he also grabs ' em in the field. He handles himself well and is playing good ball. LEE— Right Field Lee is a Freshman and comes to us from Temple, where he had a good record, and he is making a good one at S. U. He hits ' em on the nose and is fast on his feet. REYNOLDS— Pitcher Potty is with the Varsity for the first time. Potty works smoothly, and is pitching good ball, having a clean slate so far. With a little more experience he will prove a valuable man. STIRLING— Left Field Finger is the fastest out- fielder that we have and they seldom hit ' em too far for him to get them. This is his first year on the Varsity and he is making it a good one. G. BOONE— Outfield Boone, the smallest man on the club, is fast on his feet and gets under the long ones, playing outfield well. He is an able and a conscientious worker. Pane ISO c Reyiew of Baseball Season f r :.i When ' the ' call came for baseball things looked good, considering the fact that the club would have seven places open to freshmen and first year men for the Varsity. Two letter men reported from last year ' s team, Simmons, veteran pitcher, and Pearson, veteran catcher. Big Rock Robertson coming in a little later on in the season. At the present our standing is second in the T. LA. A. and the new men are showing a good knowledge of baseball, and a willingness to work in co-ordination. The loss of Captain Simmons is being keenly felt just at present and may work some hardships on the pitching staff because he was a steady, hard working and depend- able man on the mound. Johnnie is taking care of the home plate and is running true to his old form. He knows baseball, handles his part of the game very successfully and is a danger- ous man with the willow when he is at bat. McDaniel and Ellis are holding down the first sack with credit to the team. Both are working hard for the position. Hardin and Little Rock are giving good account of themselves at second and shortstop respectively. Both are good fielders and have a keen hitting eye. Crump is the type of third baseman that the big Scouts like to see in action for he knows his stuff and has a whip to first base that is almost an im- possibility to beat out. His work with the stick is showing up well. The outfield is being grazed by Orem, Lee, Harvey, Boone, and Stirling and they cover their respective fields like the green on a leaf. At present the pitching staff is made up of Big Rock Robertson, Norman and Reynolds and they are giving the best that they have to hold up the name and reputation that the school holds in baseball. It is our prediction that the school will have a much better team next year than this, after the boys have had this year ' s work together. It is indeed a difficult task to put out a winning team with all new material, but up to the present we have a record that we are proud of, and one that is worthy. , x .

She delighted the fans with her cool, accurate and steady playing. HEATH— Forward Gladys was a running mate with Rankin and baffled the opposing guards with her criss- cross playing and accuracy in hitting the basket. MANKIN— Guard Margie was late in coming out for training, but proved her merit as a representative of a Pirate Crew by her aggressive- ness. LEIGH— Guard Margaret showed training of previous seasons in her hard and well fought defense, especially in the Temple Y game. She was dependable at all times. Paoc 19 WILBERN— Jump Center Bob proved herself to be a steady-nerved, dependable jump, and many times made the Pirate score with her head work. CHEEVES— Guard Irene, with her fearless te- nacity and strong determination, made things miserable for the opposing forward, being always by her side. BOZARTH— Guard Esther displayed that trait of sportsmanship that is admirable in athletics. Her cheerfulness and even temper was always very dominant. GRIFFITH — Running Center Virginia played her position with skill and accuracy and was always there to take the tip- off. She was aggressive and a hard fighter. Page 193 13 Review of the Season The Basketball season of 1922-23 was a disappointment from the view- point of scores made, but a complete success from the viewpoint of the training that the players got for next season. Luck ordained that this sea- son would be merely one of preparation for next. The line-up at the opening of the training season was one that promised glory for Southwestern, the fans were enthusiastic, the players primed to action, and from the schedule that was arranged many interesting games were to be played; then the dengue and flu swept the line-up, claiming as its victims practically every player on the team at one time or another. In not a single game of the season was the full team on the court, but in the face of the disappoint- ments the few kept training and next season, if the whole team is not annihilated by some epidemic, will be the foundation for a swift team due to this season ' s training under the efficient direction of the coach, Miss Anna Cecil Evans. Coach Evans Page 10h KINKY AND TULL Were leaders of the Pirate spirit from the side lines. Both mani- fested a true S. U. spirit and always encouraged the team by their hearty support. They are small in stature, but are the best yell leaders that S. U. has ever had — aggressive, alert, full of pep, and constantly on the job. They never let the enthusiasm lag, whether winning or losing. This spirit, which they maintained throughout the athletic year, was constantly an inspiration to the team on the field. Their courtesy and true conception of sportsmanship gained for them and the S. U. student body the admiration and good fellow- ship of the visiting teams. They believed in paying tribute to the team, or individual player, for the skillfulness or accuracy displayed.

I passed all my work this month and have been complimented very highly by some of my teachers. The Coach especially thinks I am doing very good. Dad, I hate to ask you for some money, but I have had some very hard luck. I was trying on my Tuxedo to go to the Kappa Sigma party next Saturday afternoon and some freshman had left a bar of soap on the steps. I fell down two flights, Dad, and tore the sleeve and seat out of the Tux and the pants. I can get a good new one for $75. I am doing this because I know you want me to make good socially as well as scholastically. Your Son, BOB. Georgetown, Nov. 29. Dear Pater: Well, we have just finished our monthly quizzes and I thought I would write before Dean Wunder did. The Dean is a fine old man and we are great friends — I go in to see him nearly every week. About that math grade, Dad, 52 doesn ' t sound very good, but they use the Missouri system here and it was the best paper in a class of 44, so I will have to get an A at least. That isn ' t bad. That paper marked 10 was a mistake. Professor Carnathan told me later that it was to have been marked 100, but he is absent-minded and left off the final 0, not thinking that it meant anything. The 65 in English was rather low for me, too, but Miss Evans says I have a lot of talent and she says that I should be a professional and write for money. By the way, Dad, can you let me have $20 until Christmas? You see the Kappa Alpha ' s have been egging me to get into their organization and to keep things going I guess I will have to do it. The initiation fee is $25 and the pin is $15 more so if you can just double that $20, I will not have to stint myself quite so hard to come home this holiday. Lovingly, BOB. December 20. Dear Dad: Well, our family has been honored. I was talking to Dean Wunder today and he said that it was a shame to waste my time here — he said to go some- where else where I could get better returns for my effort. I am thinking of Harvard and when I come home Christmas we will talk about it. There ' s no use in me wasting any more time up here. The other night I passed a poor old crippled lady. I didn ' t want to be short so I gave her a $10 bill and I am running a little behind. I know you will not begrudge this, father. If you will send me $15 I will come home Thursday. By the way, I am enclosing a small bill that I haven ' t been able to take care of. It is only a small account at the Alcove — you see they nearly starved me at the boarding house this month and I knew you wanted me to take care of my health. I will be seeing you soon. Be thinking about Harvard or Texas because I ain ' t coming back here. Your loving son, BOB.

But my stars, how can we tell? asked Johnny. Well, answered Harry, if he drowns, he ain ' t. Tag (to young lady, as he bade her good-night): Good-bye, Miss .

Dr. Granberry: Dr. Howard: Page 221 Well, how were your examinations? ' Complete success, everybody flunked. The Qo-8ds I ' ve accepted my school as I found it, I ' ve fussed and I ' ve mashed in my time, I ' ve had my picking of co-eds, And four of the lot was prime. One was an ox-eyed sophomore, One was an auburn-haired dream, One was Miss Bara in actual life, And one was a society queen. Now I ain ' t no hand with the co-eds, Looks like I ' m always in wrong, ' Cause I aint no good as a kidder, And you just gotta kid ' em along. There ' s been times when I thought I was high man, There ' s been times when I knowed I was shook, But the things that I knew that a co-ed would do, Would make a darn interesting book. I was a Freshman at college, Shy and ugly as sin, An ox-eyed brunette of a sophomore, She was what made me begin. She was ugly as me but my first one, Kind hearted and lonely she were, Kiss my ear, she would say, She could stand it that way. And I learned about co-eds from her. Then as a Sophomore I entered, And her looks didn ' t suit me no more, So I picked me an auburn-haired beauty, And I camped every night at her door, She was brainless and silly and giggly, Just good lookin ' and female she were, But she spread on perfume Like an East Sherman coon, And I learned about co-eds from her. Page 222 I finally got by as a junior, Or I might have been fussin ' her now, And I picked up a gipsy-haired thriller, And she fell for me somehow, And she taught me more new ways of lovin, A regular vampire she were, But she flirted one night, For which I had to fight, And I learned about co-eds from her. Then at last I crept through as a senior, Calm, worldly wise, and serene, And just as befitted my station I took me a society queen. Too much self-esteem was her trouble A snubby nosed iceburg she were, I liked poor kids too much That it got me in dutch, And I learned about co-eds from her. So I ' ve taken my school as I ' ve found it, My life has gone by like a song, And now that I ' m ready to marry, My respect for the fair sex is gone. And the end of it ' s sitting and thinking, And dreaming a real girl to see; So hark to my moan Let the co-eds alone, And learn about co-eds from me. — Selected.

With courage rare I now do swear, Influenced by various threats, To keep my word till June the third, And smoke no cigarettes. BAH! Ha Ha, Walter.

The World seems hard as you settle down, In the shade of some scrubby trees, And tighten your belt to ease that pain That ' s makin ' you weak in the knees. You mop your brow and try to think — (You ' d give your life for a smoke) Here you are ditched in a one-horse dump Hungry, tired — and broke. But listen! There ' s the roar of a Red Ball freight. It ' s music to your ears, You leap to your feet beside the track, Forgotten are your fears. Your hands get tense, and your feet are set, As the cars flash blindly by, But you give the world and life the laugh, As you hang it on the fly. — Hobo Sam XI 3.

My teacher of psychology He ' s clever so they say, At least he talks to us, I ' m sure, In quite a dashing way. You see, he says, Psychology is just a stock in trade, And if you listen now to me, I ' ll tell how grades are made. And thereupon he grasped his specks, And plucked them from his nose, And then assumes a knowing look And sways upon his toes. You take the average stude, he says He bluffs an awful lot; He ' s happy when his bluffs are good, And dismal when they ' re not. Now let me tell you just one thing, As if I weren ' t a prof., Bluff all you can, get it by, And when you can ' t just lawf! Now this is what to me is strange; I went to him next day And told him how I liked his course In quite a psychy way. But I have changed my mind a bit; I think him very rude; He only glared at me and said : Your tactics are too crude. Slime Moreland: Did you receive my poem, The Patient Hen?

ESSAY ON A COW A cow is an animal with four legs on the under side, and is born while very young (so is her calf). A cow is useful in two ways. It gives milk. The milk is good to drink. Also white. So is the right hind foot, except on brown cows, and theirs are black. A cow has big ears that wiggle on hinges. So does her tail. A cow is bigger than a calf, but not so big as an elephant. Cows are made small so they can go into the barn when no one is looking. Some cows are black and others hook. Cows have horns but they can ' t blow them. Milk is also good to eat if you freeze it. To freeze cows ' milk you use ordinary cold ice. Cows ' milk straight is too strong; therefore they always dilute it at the well. All cows give milk and butter, but not eggs. A cow has a tail also which hangs by one end, and swings to and fro — mostly fro. A dead cow will not hurt you. Neither will a live one after he is dead. That is all there is about a cow. Potty: I ' m trying to raise a moustache. What color do you think it will be when it comes out? Kirk: Grey, from all present indications. Dr. Godbey: What colorless, ordorless, tasteless gas is so abundant and so essential to human life? Prodigy Robison: Talk. Mr. Gates: Mr. Barcus, tell me about the life of Milton. E. Barcus: Well — er — Milton was a great poet. He married, and wrote ' Paradise Lost ' , then his wife died, and he wrote ' Paradise Regained ' .

After 12 months of building, of select- ing, rejecting, eliminating, choosing and cussing, the Golden Sou ' wester has been sent on its irretrievable way to the printers. The finished work will soon be out. To the staff and the Student Body who would be critical there remains one word: Temper your judgment of the success of the book by the measure of encouragement and help you have given it. The Sou ' wester has been work. To the members of the staff who have worked hardest on the book, special men- tion shou ld be given. Newton J. Robison, assistant editor, deserves the highest credit for his work in getting out work when work had to go to the engraver and printer. Beatrice Ingrum, Glenna Brown, Buddie Foster, Frank Steinle, John Barton Bailey, Thomas Bishop, and Stewart Clendenin were members of the staff who responded readily to calls for their help. Walter Moore and George Mood, while not members of the staff, were invaluable in their work on the humorous section. The faculty yielded several members who gave invaluable aid to the book, chief among whom was Dr. C. C. Cody, Dean Emeritus. In summing up the friends and big helpers of the Sou ' wester nothing could be complete without recognition to the Photographer, R. J. Stone. Mr. Stone ' s scenes and special photographs, in addition to his regular work, make up a large part of the interest sections of the Sou ' wester. Roy J. Beard of the Southwestern Engraving Company, in planning the art work and engraving of the annual, gave a service that cannot be purchased with gold. Ben F. Seward of the Hugh Stephens Printing Company, with his timely assistance and advice, earned the management ' s gratitude and everlasting friendship. Issuing the book has been profitable in one way. The Editor will never forget the Student Body that made it possible for him to profit in this school of experience and hard knocks. — The Editor.

Surely there is something besides ex- cellent printing and binding, faithful per- formance of contract, and intelligent co-operation, that draws, year after year, more annual staffs of the large univer- sities and colleges into the fold of the Hugh Stephens Press. Perhaps it is, as one visiting editor expr essed it, our ideal organization working in an ideal plant, ideally located, that gives character to the annuals we produce. The orchid, rarest of flowers, is produced only when all conditions are favorable to its growth. The near-perfection of Kraft Built annuals is the result of careful craftsmanship under ideal conditions. The Hugh Stephens Press folks know what an annual staff is up against. Our Service Department renders expert assistance as part of our printing contract, and supplies the staffs with a complete system of blank forms, together with a handsome ninety-page Manual Guide dealing with the latest methods in advertising campaigns, business and editorial systems for College Annual production. Helpful advice and ideas are given on art work for Opening Pages, Division Sheets, Borders and special sections, combining Kraft Built bindings, inks and papers into beautiful and artistic books— SUCCESSFULLY EDITED AND FINANCED.

One, crowded and teeming with human beings, leads to the depth of failure. The other, thinly sprinkled with men and women of courage and ambition, stretches out to the glowingheightsof success — to comfort, influence, wealth and independ- ence. Which road will you take? Will you choose the crowded, sunken road that leads to the human scrap-heap, or will you take the clear, open road to success — the road upon which there is plenty of room for YOU — The friendly road, where everyone has a happy smile of welcome? Will you choose that road which is lined with everything that makes life worth living? Now is the time to decide. Both roads beckon, and remember, you will — you must take one. Which will it be? Let us help you choose the right road! IT ALWAYS PAYS TO GET THE BEST FULLY ACCREDITED.

Some men get rich by such close economy that nobody can break them of the habit. Sometimes after taking his first look at his children, home from college, a man wonders how he ever came to marry into such a family. To see one star; To pluck one flower; To play one bar; To have one hour; Journey one span, With rapture rife, What more can man Expec t of life? Si Perkins ' pump is a full half mile From the place where he does dwell. So, though Si isn ' t sick at all, Yet he is far from well. The benevolent old gentleman paused to ask the trouble of a forlorn looking old negro who sat on the village curb. As a rule, suh, commented the dusky patriarch with dignity, as a rule, dey ' s alius days when a married man is liable to be down in the mouf. Tut-tut, said the B. O. G., remember there are exceptions to all rules. Yessuh — but yo ' see, suh, I ' se done married to one of dem exceptions. WHY HONEY WAS SLOW. She left her hubby alone in their room at the hotel while she did some shopping. She returned. The many doors and numbers confused her. But she soon decided which was her room. She knocked and called: I ' m back, honey — let me in. No answer. Honey, honey — let me in, she called again, knocking harder, Honey, its me — please honey! Brief silence, then a man ' s voice, cold and full of dignity, came from the other side of the door: Madam, this is not a beehive; its a bathroom. Page 278 Minister: I hope to see you in church next Sunday. Al Secrest: You will. Katherine ' s got a new hat and coat. Uh: Mama, where can I trade my rabbit for a cat? Huh: What makes you want to trade, Dear? Well, I want something with a handle on it. ' Tis better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. FRESHMAN CREDO I believe I lend dignity and respect to this green cap. Were I to leave it off no one would suspect me of being a freshman. I believe that, being a freshman, I should study my lessons. As upper- classman I can go through on my momentum. I believe my professors are more interested in their work than in their sala-ies, otherwise they would quit teaching and do something to make money. I believe that Southwestern has the highest average of beauty outside of my high school graduating class. I believe I shall go far in college with my high school standing, tenth in my class (of eleven) and with my experience as secretary of the Knights of the S. B. H. I believe I am easily distinguished, even in a crowd of freshmen, by my superior polish and my intellectual, purposeful appearance. I believe I am the berries. The speaker waxed eloquent, and after his peroration on women ' s rights he said, When they take our girls, as they threaten, away from our coeducational colleges, what will follow? What will follow, I repeat? George Mood: I will! Prof. Ullrich: Did I say anything about the crux of the position? Glen Wilbern: No, sir. Prof. Ullrich: Hum. I want to work that word off somehow. An explorer says he has found where Noah ' s ark landed. A more timely job would be to find where the dove went. Page 279 I ' ve never seen a girl like this — ■ hope I never see one.
