The 1924 SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY ' S YEAR BOOK VOLUME XIX Published by the STUDENTS A SSOCIATION THE FOREWORD To record the aims, ideals, activ- ities, and to foster the True Pirate Spirit 11 in her sons and daughters, has been the purpose of the 1924 Sou ' wester. If, in the years to come when you ponder o ' er these pages with eyes more dim than now, this volume fans the ashes of time from the glowing fires of memories and reveals anew the friends, frolics and tasks of this year, we shall feel that our work has borne its richest fruit. ' Judge not, that you be not judged. ORDER OF BOOKS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ORGANIZATION ATHLETICS CAPT. KIDD ' S KIDS HUMOROUS c Dedication We, the Staff of the Sou ' wester ' 24, do humbly dedicate this, the XIX Volume, to the one most wonderful person God created, who through sacrifice has made it possible for the Staff to be allowed the privilege of an attempt to offer as tribute, apprecia- tion and gratitude for the opportuni- ties which have been afforded us during the past years. Through THIS PERSON ' S influence we strive to give voice to the best that is in us. This most wonderful PERSON is the MOTHER of each student who has passed, who is passing and who will pass through the halls of Southwestern. THIS place has been reserved for your Mother ' s picture, and until it is pasted in this space there is something lacking about your annual. It is not complete. Show her your appre- ciation, son or daughter. zM) Inspiration Words by Prof. R.J. Eddy i With spirit Southwestern Music by Arthur L. Manchester fef£ m n £sk QQt hH FT rrr 1.

Mood Monument Page ly DR. J. SAMUEL BARCUS, M. A., D. D. President Page lS 3ss |£ THE T)r. J. Sam Barms, M. A., T . T ., President DURING the past fifty years Southwestern University has furnished a large number of College Presidents and Professors for schools in and out of Texas and it is befitting that now as she begins her second half century of service she should call to be the directing spirit of her activities one of her own sons. This she has done by the unanimous election of Rev. James Samuel Barcus, M. A., D. D., to the Presidency. Among the many distinguished sons of Southwestern there is no one upon whom this honor and responsibility could be more worthily bestowed. The Barcus family has been a continuous patron and friend of the school for forty- five years. Dr. Sam himself an A. M. of the class of 1889. During his career as a student he was an acknowledged leader. He assisted in winning, for his society, the Brooks Prize Debate and was awarded, at his graduation, the medal for the best oration. He took a course in Theology at Vanderbilt University and was there awarded a medal for oratory. Upon his entrance into the itiner- ancy he at once took rank as an able preacher and was recognized as a leader to be trusted. While he was uniformly popular and successful as a pastor he was always regarded as being exceptionally qualified for educational work. He was twice called to the presidency of Junior Colleges and for four years was Professor of Bible in Southwestern. For several years he has served the institution as a Trustee and was honored by his Alma Mater with the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. His connection with the institution as student, professor, patron and trustee has given him a familiarity with its problems, its ideals and its difficulties, and also a personal acquaintance with a very large per cent of its former students. Having done pastoral work in four of the Annual Conferences in Texas he is well known to practically every preacher in the State. Everywhere he is known he is loved for his personal attractions and is admired for his ability and trusted as a safe and sane leader. Since his election, letters of commendation and con- gratulation have come from many prominent leaders in church and state and from every section of our constituency. He comes to the Presidency, not onlv with an intimate knowledge of conditions but with a passionate love for the school and an unconquerable faith in its future. While he has a commendable pride in the past glorious history of Southwestern which he himself had a large part in making, yet he believes that the best is yet to come. There is every reason to believe that the friends of Southwestern will enthusiastically rallv to his optimistic leadership, and a Greater Southwestern is assured. Dr. Barcus keeps himself young by his sympathetic interest in young people. The students will all love him. They will find in him a wise counsellor and a faithful friend. Parents of the State will commit their sons and daughters to his guidance with absolute assurance that their mental, moral and social life will be safeguarded and sanely directed.

University Physician Albert Logan ' Bookkeeper and Assistant to the Bursar Page 33 Page 34 0aud Qarr Qody, Ph. 7). 1855-1923 We live in deed, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial; We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. If these lines written by James Philip Bailey are true, then Dr. Claud Carr Cody would be classed a patriarch, for his sixty-eight years were crowded with all the virtues that the poet mentions. He came to Southwestern University a beardless youth while Southwestern was also a youth, and when he retired from active connection with her he had crowned both S. U. and himself with honor and glory. In the life of Alice Freeman Palmer, Dr. Palmer tells that when she resigned the Presidency of Wellesley to be married the mourners were loud and numerous. One little fellow was so loud and long in his lamentations that his mother tried to comfort him by telling him she was not going far but would be very near, at Cambridge. No, mama, he cried, You do not understand, it is not the farness nor the nearness that I mind; it is the never-the-sameness. And so it was with Dr. Cody ' s old students, it was the never-the-sameness that pervaded the halls, crowded the class room, and filled the Dean ' s office, after his resignation. It has been told this writer over and over by old students visiting their Alma Mater, It is not the same without Dr. Cody. We, who lived here in town, were not so much affected, for he still moved among us and we would meet him at church, at Sunday School, on the street and in various places and we found him as of old, cordial, gracious, and interested in us as he always had been. And we who were still connected with the University would still go to him with our prob- lems of finances or discipline as we did in the past, and he generally solved them as he did in the past, but even with this intimate associa- tion, it was never-the-sameness. And after he left us for that undiscovered country from which no traveller returns, it was the never-the-sameness that broke our hearts. As Dean he was blind to our shortcomings and so unerring in finding what little of good we had in us. Responsive and enthusiastic and affectionate we always left his office, even though we had been sum- moned there for some misdemeanor, with an inspiration to emphasize the best that was in us. And even tho ' a merited punishment was being meted out to us we felt like we were dealt with fairly and justly. And so he lived in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths. Sleep after toyle, or port after stormie seas, Ease after warre, death after life, does greatly please. — Margaret Mood McKennon. Page 35 Page 36 Page 37 oard of Trustees OFFICERS Judge W. L.

No Sou ' wester was ever compiled and edited by any one or two men. The task has been a big one and we have appreciated everything that you have done to help us make this one of the best volumes that has ever come out. To George, Wallace, John B., Stewart and Tom we wish to give special mention of their untiring efforts in helping to compile this book. Several new features have been added to the book, several changes have been made in the old ones, and in every way the staff has tried to put out a PIRATE SOU ' WESTER which is different to any annual that has ever been printed. The plan of the ' 24 book has been simplicity and conservatism in the art work and page designs, a rich but simple color scheme, and mechanical correctness and uniformity in the editorial make-up of each page. We have tried to arrange the sections of the book in the proper sequence and in as new and attractive a manner as possible. — W. F. Foster.

Outside of the strictly paper work the Megaphone has done its utmost to promote journalism in the school by supporting the local Press Club and by being a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association. The Megaphone wishes to give recognition to Dr. Claude Howard, Dr. J. C. Granbery, Prof. W. P. Davidson and Miss Pearl A. Neas for the invaluable assistance they have rendered; furthermore, the Mega- phone wishes to thank the business men of Georgetown for the loyalty they have shown by advertising in the paper.

Smith John Barton Bailey Ernest Skipworth George Mitchell Rocky Harkey The Mood Hall Honor Council exists as such an organization after the will of the resident students occupying the dormitory. The whole purpose of the organization is well expressed in a clause from its con- stitution: We, the resident students of Mood Hall, appreciating the efforts of those who have made and are making possible such a desirable home for young men, and feeling that it is our duty to protect it, do realize that it is our privilege to fix its traditions and reputation for the guidance of future students.

Through- out the years of its existence in Southwestern it has served as a powerful factor in developing leaders of the state, and, re- maining true to its traditions, it is still taking its place among the other college organizations on the campus, and is render- ing a service that would otherwise remain undone. The active members of the society see the intense value of such an organization and are storing up treasures that are only to be gotten through work of a similar nature. The society has its regular meetings every Monday morning, when valuable and interesting programs are ren- dered, by which the members develop many useful talents. Other features of the society ' s activities are socials and various contests, all adding to the success of the organization.

The mem- bership now includes eighty students, which gives us a larger member- ship than any other organization on the campus. All through the year the society has received members from among the ranks of the choice students, and much progress has been made along literary lines. But the society does not stop with literary achievement, but stretches out to include social activities and other things. At the termination of the forty-ninth year ; San Jacinto is proud of its past and is looking forward to a more glorious future. Page 130 HISTORY OF SAN JACINTO San Jacinto Literary Society was organized in 1875 as a Freshman Debating Society. But the need of a larger field of action was soon heeded and all the male students of the university were made eligible for membership. Finder this arrangement it continued until the spring of 1919, when, after due consideration, the society again enlarged its field of service and admitted girls of the university to membership. San Jacinto has been continuous since its founding, and it has had a flaming career. Each year it has put out an intermediate debate and competent debators have debated before the whole school. San Jacinto has won a majority of the Brooks ' Prize Debates, which is the large debate of the year at Southwestern. And time after time we have forced the Alamo ' s to bite the dirt in athletic conflicts. ■■• UftOEN ALLEN MQO £ Classical BftSIWP WfiLK£R f-X pa timctm UiTiCL J __ : Page 131 South WE!

Vice-President Annanelle Hamblin .... Secretary THE Southwestern University Press Club, after having been dis- banded for a period of over a year, reorganized and re-established their affiliation with the Texas Inter-Collegiate Press Association this spring. It has been the purpose of the local press club to promote journalism of the highest type in the student publications and to also promote journalism in general on the campus. It seems that the college has lost some interest in journalism after having been one of the first schools in Texas to offer courses in this department, and it has been the purpose of the club to try to get courses again offered. So far we have been unsuccessful in this, but next year we have hopes that there will be at least one major of journalism offered each term. The representative to the Texas Inter-Collegiate Press Associa- tion convention which was held at Dallas was Stewart Clendenin. He reports that there were many interesting and profitable things discussed. It is hoped that in the future the local Press Club will continue to try to accomplish the things that we set out to dc this year and a great deal of good will be done. Everyone on the campus realizes the good that can be gotten from a live press club.

The purposes of the organization are to in- crease the resources of the University in Dramatic leadership, to raise standards and appreciation of Dramatic literature, to give opportunity for an ever-increasing desire for Dramatic self-expression, and to develop leadership for dramatic work in church, club, school, neighborhood and community. These purposes are being accomplished by the Club in a number of ways. Besides the dramatizing of plays and the attendant individual training in character interpretation, the student also receives training in eurhythmies, stage directing, and stage craft. Not only this, but the best modern dramas are read by the class in order to appreciate better the qualities of Dramatic literature. During the year of 1923-24, the Mask and Wig Club has presented Dickens ' The Christmas Carol, Jerome K. Jerome ' s The Passing of the Third Floor Back , and James Montgomery ' s Nothing But the Truth. The Club also will present a night of One-Act Plays.

PURPOSE TO LEAD students in faith in God through Jesus Christ. To lead them into membership and service in the Christian Church. To promote their growth in Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Bible and prayer. To influence them to devote themselves in united effort with all Chris- tians to making the will of Christ effective in human society, and to extend the Kingdom of God throughout the world. ip f. y yf. $. The methods employed by the Y. M. and Y. W. to form a campus-wide fel- lowship of all those interested in the program of Christ or such that exalt the things that unite rather than the things that divide us in our great loyalty to Christ. Membership in the Association means receiving, not serving in student Christian movements that in recent years have helped mold many of the world ' s greatest statesmen and religious workers. Membership in them also means link- ing up with the most promising international organizations in the world today- The World ' s Student Christian Federation, made up of associations or unions in two thousand four hundred and nine institutions of higher learning around the world, with a total membership of one hundred and seventy-six thousand stu- dents. The yearly program of the associations includes work with new students, such as help in registering, finding rooms, and general assistance in becoming oriented; a reception for new students and other socials given through the year; prayer groups and weekly devotional meetings, which give opportunity for students self-expression and a chance to hear out-of-town speakers, and the organization of social service and gospel teams that serve in and about Georgetown. Norman Clements, John Palmer and George Steinman represented the Y- M. C. A. at the Southwest Students ' Conference held at Hollister, Mo., June 9- 18, 1923. While at Hollister, George Steinman, who served as Y. M. C. A president this year, was elected to the National Students ' Council of the Y- M. C. A., which is composed of seventeen members elected from the various regions over the United States to serve in an advisory capacity to the National Executive Committee. To the two associations is due much of the credit for securing and financing the eight delegates, Southwestern ' s full quota, to the Students ' Volunteer Con- vention held in Indianapolis during the Christmas holidays.

Durrett THE body of men in old Southwestern who are preparing to enter active Ministry of the church, either as pastors, missionaries or evangelists, constitute the organization known as the Ministerial Association, and this yeai there are thirty-five of these splendid young men. The association meets regularly on Sunday and Thursday morn- ings of each week. The Sunday meetings are purely devotional meetings led by one of the members. The Thursday meetings are used for the dis- cussion of problems, both personal and of general concern to the stu- dents of the University, and to the community. Religious services with preaching are held regularly at the county jail and at the poor farm and at other places in the community. Church and Sunday School services are carried on by the Association in rural communities and there are five members of the Association who are pas- tors in charge of regular pastorates. Another part of the work of the Association is to co-operate with the University Faculty and the several other student organizations in establishing and maintaining the highest possible moral and religious standards within the student body. The members of the Association are active in all of the various student activities, taking a prominent part in athletics, student pub- lications, college debating and literary societies.

A great many schools have organizations known as the Who ' s Who. We have thought it wise to break away from the regular routine of college policies and begin an organization which has a wonderful future. The life of this organization and its recognition rest upon the shoulders of the editors and business managers of the Sou ' westers who will carry on after us. A movement is on foot to extend the organization through- out the state with the possibility of a national organization. This is not a scholarship fraternity, nor one of the secret order, but was created solely for the purpose of giving recognition to students WHO ARE DOING THINGS, along lines which receive little or no recognition. The sole purpose is to give recognition to the students who are taking a leading purpose in student affairs on the campus. It has been decided that those who shall be eligible for membership shall be: the editors and business managers of the three publications; the captains of the different athletic teams, football, basketball, baseball and track; the president, vice-president and secretary of the students association; the presidents of the three honor councils, University, Mood Hall, and Woman ' s Building; president of the Y. M. C. A., and presi- dent of the Y. W. C. A. These are considered the principal student activities. Page 15S ! §3!

End Our Skip. Nothing too good can be said about him. We think that Skip is on even terms with the greatest of them. Play- ing his fiist year at full, he was shifted this year to end, where he played a wonderful game at all times. In spite of the fact that he was unable to finish the season, because of a broken arm, he was considered the best in the state. We expect to see his name on the All-American roll next year. Captain-Elect Potty Reynolds Three Years Weight iqj lbs. Tackle Pottie, as he is affectionately called by his team-mates, has served faithfully for three years. He has been the most consis- tent man on the team. At times even bril- liant, but always to be relied upon. A con- sistent, cool, and ideal captain. Next year he should close his position with a highly successful season. Horse Whitehurst Two Years Weight 185 lbs. Center Whitey proved to be a steady, con- sistent man for the pivot position. Fighting as a fighter should, he always managed to let the other team know that he was in the game. Not the fastest center in the state but fast enough to break up many plays. Whitey should make a name for himself next year. Page iqo Tass Waterson Two years Weight 175 lbs. Backfield and End Tass is one of the old reliable type. With his long stride and ability to sidestep, he easily filled his position. Tass was the same at all times; if you needed a yard, he could get it. When we were in need of an end, he easily filled that place in spite of the fact that he had never played the position before; he filled the position like a veteran. Here ' s hoping that he starts at end next season Duane Mateer Two years Weight 170 lbs. Halfback Too much cannot be said of Old Folks. We shall always remember him for his work in the Sam Houston Normal game. He moves out like the wind and is equally good in cutting back and side-stepping his oppo- nents. He is the type of half which all coaches admire. He will be racing across the white lines again next fall. Billie Magee Two years Weight 160 lbs. Halfback Billie was always a brilliant broken- field runner and could be depended upon at all times for a two or three yard gain. Com- bining these two assets, you have in him one of the fastest and best backfield rren in the state for his rridget stature. Wish that we only had a few more such men to work in the backfield next year. Page iQi Rodney Kidd Two years Weight 160 lbs. Halfback Captain with one year ' s experience proved his ability this year as a backfield man. He hit the line like a ton of brick, and skirted the ends like a two-twenty man. He was a fast, consistent, aggressive, hard fighter, and was one of the surest men we had on pulling clown passes. We are looking forward to his return next fall. Kenneth Royal One year Weight 1J5 lbs. Quarterback Royal carre to us from Illinois and made good from the start. With his abi ' ity to pick the weak spots in the opposing line and his quick kick, he proved one of the most valu- able men on the team. At times he had the kicking, passing, and the backing up of the line, all of which he did in a veteran manner. He will be found generating the team next fall. Dexter Dickson One year Weight _ 5 lbs: Halfback Little Dick came to us from A. and M.; their loss and our gain. When it came to circling ends and slipping oft tackle, you could always depend on him. When once in open field his speed offset his handicap of small build. he prevented many touchdowns from safety position by his lleetness. Pour it on ' em next year, Dick! Page IQ2 Bruce Duncan One year Weight 180 lbs. Guard The fighting freshman came to us as a backfield man, but when, because of injuries, a line man was needed, Duncan came for- ward, filling the guard position like a veteran. He proved to be a life-saver for our line. With this year ' s experience, and with his weight and fight, he will be a star next year. Adam Bachtel Two years Weight 180 lbs. Guard Little Beck had hard luck by having his collar-bone broken in the first game. When he did get back in the game he made life miserable for the opposing line. Little Beck is a stonewall on the defense and a battering-ram on the offense. With such men as he as a nucleus for a team it will be next to impossible to beat old S. U. next year. Big Beck Bachtel One year Weight igo lbs. Tackle Big Beck made his letter the first year that he was eligible. Having studied football as it is played in the Big Ten Conference, he was a valuable man in the line. Playing his best game against Cen- tenary, Big Beck won his letter by hard, consistent, and brainy playing. We expect him to set a pace for enterprising linesmen next year. Page IQ3 13 Shot Gunn One year Weight ij5 lbs. Half Shot Gunn. That ' s what they call him over at State. They claim that he has wings on his feet. At the first opportunity they put him out of the game with a bad ankle. He is a ten-second man and a football suit does not slow him down. He proved a sensation in Texas football. It will be many years before he is forgotten. Tom Perrin Two years Weight 175 lbs. End Tom was the most reliable end in the game. They didn ' t run around him. If they got by him it was because there was more than one man on him. Tom is the boy that can not miss a pass. He was a hard worker and put everything that he had into every play. We are glad that he will 4 be back to carry on next year. Walter Moore Manager Moore was always looking out for our interests. If he could do anything for our comforts he was always there to do it. We hate to lose him for he is loved and appre- ciated bv all of us. Page IQ4 r l X. Page iqs Xk Southweste: Captain Donald Q. Adams Page 1 06 -SSS3gKSSS5 Top Row (left to right) — Lee, Mateer, Tatum, Gardner (Coach) Bottom Row (left to right) — Kidd, Camp, Adams (Captain), Royal, Leslie (Manager) Review of the Season STARTING on the second year of its organization, our team has made an enviable record for itself. Losing only one series during the whole season, and that one to Texas, the Pirates played Texas the most consistent and the closest series of their year. Each of the two games was lost by few point margins. Aiter such a start the quintet were unbeatable, and when they went on their road trip, Southwestern led the State. We won our first game, but it was costly, because Adams and Mateer were both injured. Not being satisfied with those injuries, Fate willed that Kidd should have an accident which almost put him on crutches. We lost the next two games and in the last game, which was to decide the conference title, we started the game with five in- jured men. Leading all the way, we were finally tied and in the last two minutes they won with a long field goal. This game shoved us back into second place for the season. An undefeated year is predicted for next year, which will be the last year for most of the team. Page 197 Camp — Guard Camp showed up in his position this year with the same spirit of fight which characterized him in football. His consistent ability as guard was at all times valuable to the Pirate quintet, and he was able to save many points which might otherwise have been lost. His next year should be full of successes for him. Kidd — Guard Captain, with his fight and hard work, made the opposing forwards regret ever playing against him. His close guarding always kept the number of field goals below par. Captain ' s last year should be filled with honors for him. Mateer — Center In spite of his size he played rings around every one of his opponents. With his speed and dribble it was impossible to stop him. He was just as good on the defense, being the main cog in the first line of defense. With a little more height he would be in the field for the highest honors. Page iqS Royal — Forward Royal came to us an unknown quantity, but it did not take him long to establish him- self on the team. After his first game his place on the team was assured. Playing consistent floor game he was an important factor in the team work of the club. He should make a wonderful player next year. TATUM — Forward Tatum became eligible after Christmas and he proved a valuable addition to the team. He could always be counted on to hold up his end of the work. His specialty seem d to be putting in the goal which was decisive in the game. We hope he is just as good next year. Lee — Forward Lee came through this year in great style. Always ready to go in and make a needed point or two. He was rather small but he made up with his fight and knowledge of the little tricks of the game. Watch him next year. Page iqq Leslie — Manager Always trying to find something to do for the team, Dick endeared himself to all of the basketball men. We only wish him as much success in after-life. The 1924 Season T HE call was made for basketball men to report for the Varsity squad and twenty-one men reported to Coach Gardner. Cap- tain Adams, Camp, Kidd, Mateer and Lee of last year ' s club being among the number. After two weeks of practice the club was cut to ten men and seven of these were taken on a trip during the Christmas Holidays, and played five games, losing only one game out of the lot. Coach Gardner realized the problem which he and the club had facing them and set to work training and practicing hard for the long string of collegiate games which they had facing them. Earlv in the season the club hit its stride and gave Doc Stewart and his Longhorns two battles which came near causing them to humble themselves to the Pirate Quintet. Texas succeeded in lucking out in both games by a four-point margin. The Pirates developed a defense which seemed as though it was going to be impossible to the other members of the T. I. A. A. to get through. It was not until the latter part of the season that the Pirates were forced to submit to a defeat, and this was due to injuries, which could not be gotten rid of until the season was over. One of the most memorable fights of the whole season was the night that the Pirates tamed the fighting Bob cats to the tune ol 28 to 14. This was the most thrilling and fastest game of basket- ball ever played on a court in Georgetown. Southwestern was a strong contender for the championship of the T. I. A. A. until the North Texas trip, when they put out with a crippled crew for a week ' s cruise of the schools in the north part of the State. The Pirates were so badly crippled that they were unable to stem the tide and lost three games on this trip, thereby losing out in the race for Championship of the T. I. A. A. Page 200 Page 201 Captain Rodney Kidd Page 202 jr if JtiL -T ' -ixS iVJitO ' ii c Relay Team and Trophy ' 23 THE most brilliant spot on the team was the splendid rec- ord made by the relay team, composed of Skipworth, Capt. Kidd, Barcus, and Waterston. After losing their first race to Texas they came back and defeated Rice and San Marcos and then crowned it all by winning the T. I. A. A. in a most thrilling race. By coming out first in the T. I. A. A. they won the above shield for our trophy room. The time in the T. I. A. A. was only one- fifth of a second above the record. It is predicted that they will establish a new record at Abilene this year in the T. I. A. A. meet. Page 203 Barcus John was a freshman and won his spurs in great fashion. It was almost a habit for him to come in ahead of the field. With experience we hope that the habit will be- come hard to break. Low hurdles is his hobby. iftfc «■■ r Skip worth — Captain-elect Pap proved his worth this year. He was our best 440 man. He has a wonderful build and stamina with which to make his driving finish. In spite of al- most falling on one curve he finished second in the T. I. A. A. meet. He also runs the first lap of the relay and has never tailed to furnish a lead. Burgin Fred was handicapped by having the mumps in the early part of the season but regardless of this he took first place in every meet except the T. I. A. A., in which he and Guenzel tied for second. With better health and more experience next year we predict the Olympic games for him. Reese Reese Too much can not be said of Rookie. He lost only one race and that was to Texas. He is one of the best milers in the South. His lengthy stride always carried him into the lead. He is a senior and he will cause a gap that is hard to fill. Magee Billie was one of our best dash men. He could step the hundred in grand style. His small size was taken care of by his quick get-away and speed. He is also a senior and we will see him no more in a Pirate track suit. Page 204 I i u h ■t Whitehurst Whitehorse was that old manager that you read about but very seldom see. He was always on the job and kept things in tip- top condition. He manifested an interest in the men that is rarelv ever seen. Ayers W. L. is another hard worker, always on the job and giving everything he has in his race. We hate to lose him, for his kind is not growing on trees. Guenzel and Burgin were running mates. They were always together at the finish. He had a peculiar form but was able to get over the bamboo. He is only a freshman and in a year or two he will be heard of all over the country. Waterston Sparkey is the man that ran the last lap of the relay. Give him an even break and it is impossible to finish ahead of him. This is his first year and he should be a won- der before he leaves. McDaniel McDaniel always comes out in time to beat San Marcos. Mac is like all other athletes — he has his oft days. When he is right HE IS RIGHT, and we don ' t mean maybe. He clears eleven feet. Page 20$ Top row {left to right) — Gregory {Manager), Fox, Love, House, Royal, Gardner {Coach) Second row {left to right) — Bachtel, Gusman, Kidd, Skipworth {Captain), Barcus Third row {left to right) — Perrin, Burgin, Moore, Mateer, Dickson Track Team ' 24 SEASON WRITE-UP THE ' 24 Track Team got a rather late start and the men were not at all in con- dition for the first two meets. However, they made Texas and A. M. work for their points, and then came back less than a week later and defeated Aus- tin College in a thrilling meet here. Rice was the next victim in line. The team went to Houston, handicapped by the absence of Burgin, who was always good for at least eight points, and also the weight men, Royal and Bachtel. Regard- less of these facts they plucked the Owl feathers. There are still two more meets this year, one is with the San Marcos Normal Bobcats and the other is the T. I. A. A. meet. Much interest is being manifested in the Normal meet, because of the defeat last year at the hands of the teachers. We predict that the Pirates will take the San Marcos meet and first or second place in the T. I. A. A. meet. Page 206 UNIVERSITY J m THE Page 207 SOUTl Z Captain Bennett Simmons Page 208 Harry Swenson Coach Swenson, in this his first year in Southwestern, has won the admiration and respect of all the lovers of our great national sport. He is an old Pirate player and comes back to us with a record of having successfully managed several teams over the state as well as playing very good semi-professional ball. With his ex- perience and the material he has we are sure of a successful season for the Pirate Club of 1924. A.s soon as the collegiate season is over Coach Swenson will report to the Waco Club of the Texas Associa- tion, and we are sure that he will be quite a valuable addition to their pitching staff. Page 200 14 Robertson — Capt. -elect Shortstop Little Rock came to us with the task of carrying on the name of Robertson on S. U. ' s baseball team. His brother as well as old S. U. can well be proud of this splendid ball player. A good outfielder and a heavy hitter. Little Rock is well suited to lead the team next year $2 i : ' )$£ V McDaniel, First Base Mac proved a valuable man for us this year. He was a consistent player both in the field and at the bat. He had two brothers to play first base in former years here, but neither of them need be ashamed of the way Mac plays his position- He should be even more valuable next year. Crump, Third Base Too much can not be said of the playing ability of Crump. He makes the most difficult chances look easy. Several scouts from the big leagues have looked Crump over this year, and all of them were very much en- thused over his ability. When Crump comes to bat the pitchers begin to worry and they have quite a bit to worry over. Watch him next year. Pearson, Catcher This was Johnnie ' s last year and we all hate to see him go. He has been very valuable to us with his knowledge of baseball and his ability to handle the pitchers. It is said that the catcher has the hardest position on the team, and we can say nothing more than that he filled his position well. . Hardin, Second Base Major was our lead-off man this year, and he always managed to get on base whether from being hit or hitting the ball. Major covers his position well, also being one of the cogs in the well-groomed infield. We hope that he will be back with us next year. Norman, Pitcher In spite of his wildness, Lumber was a valuable man in the box. He was big enough and had plenty of speed. With a little more experience he will rank among the best in college baseball. Page 210 Reynolds, Pitcher Potty was another one of our slabmen and with his slow curves lie made the best of them look had. All that Potty needs is a little more experience. He will be one of our mainstays next year. 3P f S + Boone, Outfield Boonie, being so small, was an extremely hard man to pitch to, and if you did put one over he was more than likely to get a hit. Being able to play both infield and outfiel d made him more valuable than ever. He could hold up his part in opposition, and we expect a great deal from him next year. Pane 211 0 J -A- ■ ' Harvey, Center Field Puss was one of those outfielders out of whose reach it is impossible to knock the ball. He was always at the right place at the right time. Puss did not get his eye on the ball until late in the season, but proved himself a valuable man all the vear. Vivion, Manager Monroe was an excellent manager, and always had the interest of the club at heart. He could be depended upon at all times to look after the best interests of the club, and thereby won the true friendship of the entire team. Lee, Outfield With his peculiar style of batting, Lee was able to get many base hits. He was one of our most dangerous hitters this year. He, too, was a consistent outfielder and was to be depended on alwavs. Sterling, Outfield Sterling waited until his last year to come out for the team, but the day he came out he won himself a posi- tion in the outfield. He was also a sure hitter after changing his batting style. We are more than sorry that he will not be back next year to carry on. ... .

If we were like some of the other schools of this State we might not look back over the list of victories and defeats with much pleasure and satisfaction. We do not offer a single alibi for the record, but will give you the facts of the case. The girls do not have a court of their own to practice on and had to work in their practice when they could get access to the court. Twice a week was as often as they could have the court, and then it was for one hour and a half at the time. Sickness, coupled with injuries, worked a hardship on the feminine basketeers. When the squad shoved off on their North Texas trip last winter they were handi- capped by the fact that they had to leave one regular forward and guard at home on account of the epidemic of sickness which was here at that time. Miss Helen Barcus deserves a great deal of credit for the showing which her squad made during the whole season. She instilled into the members of the team the ideas of loyalty, fight, self-sacrifice and true sportsmanship. These are the principles which the wearers of the Black and Gold have always stood for and will continue to fight for so long as there remains a trace o. recollection of a Pirate crew. It is likely that we will not have another girls ' basketball team until Southwestern has a new gymnasium with modern equipment in every respect. The girls cannot do their best in building a winning team without they have access to a court in order that they can get the practice which is essential for a winning club. Page 213 £K0fk i 4 BEHRN5 I 11 B VRCU5 OAMNJELLV Pirate Tell J eaders UNDER the able guidance of Cyrus Barcus, the ' 23- ' 24 Yell Leaders came nearer to accomplishing what Pirate Yell Leaders have striven to accomplish than any other group in a long time. This year ' s staff was constantly striving to increase the spirit and sportsmanship of the rooting section; to back the team and coaches, win or lose, to the limit; to increase the attendance at the rallies, and to encourage courtesy to visiting teams. Of course, there were criticisms. On the whole, however, Cy and his assist- ants are deserving of praise for their untiring efforts. But until the yell leaders of Southwestern are chosen for their ability, and politics no longer enter into the selections; until the yell leader and his assistants can have the encouragement, respect and whole-hearted support of the entire student body; and until they can take the high place at Southwestern that yell leaders hold at other Texas institutions, they are laboring under difficulties that are discouraging. Barcus has done much to gain for the staff the respect and support of the student body — he has taken a long step in the right direction. Olga Jancik and her Pep Squad aided materially in helping accomplish this end. Their work at the Howard Payne game will never be forgotten.

F. Foster, Editor-in-Chief of the 1924 Sou ' wester, of my own free will and accord do hereby and hereon, in the pres- ence of my typewriter, vouch and declare that I am not the au- thor of the Choke Section of this book — that I did not write a line of it and had nothing whatsoever to do with the com- piling of it. Do you ask who he is? Is he a student of Southwestern? Well, from his grades you can hardly say that he would qualify for the Scholarship Society, although he has been occupying one of the seats in the different classes of learning for less than a score of years. His name — sh! — sh! I promised never to tell and I couldn ' t think of divulging his identity. But, of course, if you persist I suppose I will have to tell you, providing you ' ll promise never to tell a soul, but in case you do happen to tell someone you make them promise not to tell. Do you swear? (You are naughty, you shouldn ' t do such things.) Then here is the secret His name is THE CHOKER. You know him of course you do. Are you surprised to find out who did all this quibbing? Please do not be hard on him for what he may have said about you or your organization, for it was all said and done through the truest spirit of fun and humor. It was only said and done to add a touch of spice to your MEMORY BOOK. Take it in the spirit in which it is intended or perhaps you might lead us to believe that old adage, Perhaps he spoke the truth. Proceed slowly, dear reader, and don ' t miss anything.

Speck has a laundry queen in west Georgetown one term, and he says of her, She would warm a dead Eskimo. Then he has an Alpha Delt Pledge the next term; of her he says, She would suit a king. Then this term he has a crush on another Alpha Delt Pledge; of her he says, She may suit Whitehorse, too, but she can sit on the bald-headed row with me. Now we know that Speck is no dead Eskimo, he is not a king and his name is not White- horse, can you fathom him? The past winter Adam Bachtel had a very prolific fish market, but a little denatured alcohol put him clean out of business. Page 228 This idea of being vaccinated has certainly disclosed some funny things. So far I have noticed Mary Johnson, Fern, Mary Catherine Bowen, Blanche Stirling and Bill Fontaine stoop to conquer. Yes, to conquer the tantalizing magnetism of a vaccination spot. I guess they were vaccinated in the Annex. Cy Barcus can ' t blow a cornet at all, to the side of Jim West. This Jim is a regular trumpeteer, he can beat anybody. The only thing, the audience is always afraid that he has blown his brains out. This is especially true after a solo part. Say, did you ever hear of the G. P.s. Well, I have. I ' ll tell you about them. At the beginning of the winter term we had a very smart and precocious bustee to come here by the name of Riddick. Now this lad got in cohunch with the dean of chapel absences on a scheme for climbing the ladder of popularity at one step. They manipulated the rules of the Forty-Two Club, and renaiiied it into the G. P.s (Grave Yard Prowlers). Things went well for the first round of pledging, but soon there was a slump, and as a result there was a united howl for suckers. To this howl some dear brother suggested the name of a certain jelly from state, popularly known as the boy with the Ford Coupe, or the boy who will ride the Annexers to any part of the city. Now when Mr. Jelly found that he might talk himself into a bid from this august and exclusive club, he decided to be especially nice to them. Then followed numerous trips to Taylor accompanied by various bearded members of the Club. Right here they would have bid the poor boy, but that would have put an end to their sucker list. Now to cap the climax, Mr. Jelly and a member of the club who hails from Midland and who is very knock-kneed, and who, to all appearances, is more tha n 20 years of age, went to San Antonio. While they were in the Alamo city they of course bought some punch, but it was not punch, it was nothing but plain tea. No this would never do so they bought a few bottles of Force, came back and blew their breath in all the G. P.s faces. We ' ll take him now, they cried, but this was stopped by Brick. Brick can identify any kind of liquor at ten paces you know. So much for Mr. Jelly. Then things went along quietly for the club until Dean Tag ordered the pins and the Sou ' wester panel, then things waxed hot. The opposition was led by Tom Willis and James Dorbandt, and what they accomplished was a blessing, they broke up the Order of G. P.s and no more will we hear the mysterious pass word of Two raps on the Door, and a whispered A.ce Blank. P. S. Soon after the last meeting there were a dozen or more new names on the chapel absence list, and they have been there almost every day since. Su- funny, aintit. The Choker sure did enjoy his class in Philosopho 53 the Winter Term. I thought that it was rather interesting to watch Mr. Dexter Dixon and Miss Lola Mathis sit there on the back seat and play WHACKY. Page 22Q I nominate for the hall of rockhead fame the following: Ole Folks Mateer, Billie Magee, Doyne Holder, Sonny Boy Atkins, KuKu McDaniel, Little Dixon, Miss Alice Pratt, Sweet Thing (Velma) Biggs, Marg. Mankin, Dizzy Mukes, The Three Barcusses, Dinky Dodd, (Mrs.) Rowena Easterwood (Vivion), LaPaloma Baker, Showcase Artz, (Mrs.) Lena Belle Briggs (Draper), Slime Gooseman, and Slippy Herself. The iron hand of the Honor Council has been extended to Sebe ' s Show. Why? All because Miss Kirk caught Johnny Haizlip, Poo Poo Perdue, Fred Burgin, and Al Secrest playing hands in the show. Now ain ' t that a note? No, certainly this wasn ' t no stag party, far from it, but the Choker is not well ac- quainted and he don ' t know the names of the girls. Rankin White has finally got situated. He has allied himself with Swede Cowling, for practically the same reason as the G. P.s once had. They claim to be Moguls Supreme in this weird and mysterious order on the campus known as T. N. E.? So freshmen take my advice and don ' t let them talk you into taking a bid to that thing. In the first place they ain ' t got no charter of the genuine T. N. E. here, and in the second place they are only after your money. You know Kelley needs a little jack to pay the Phis his last year ' s board bill, and then Rankin needs some extra cash to keep up his social obligations. Gee Whillikins, I ' ll bet the Phis raise with Swede when they read this, because Kelley promised them that he warn ' t no T. N. E., when they initiated him last year. Well, don ' t get alarmed, Phi Delts, he is not, he just claims to be, Kelley, how in the world did you talk Rankin into this situation. But that is nothing. I wish I was getting as much out of writing this as you and Sheik are making out of puttin ' it over. Damnaa: Say, boy, this Annie Lou Baskin is some peach, ain ' t she? Shun — How come? Damnaa: Her face is covered with fuzz. Mayme Baldwin (at football game): Hold him, Adam, I know you can. And I kicked out the big base drum. Buckner is wearing his other pair of socks this term. The Megaphone said that Monroe Vivion went to the Hospital to have his tonsils removed. Well, he may have, but anyway, he is not in favor of the Ku Klux program against the Jew, since his return. Page 230 There is one man in school that I want to set you straight with, and he is no other than a man named Smith. I propose to partially tell of one of his Pug- Nuckling parties. Pug-Nuckling, parenthetically speaking, is synonymous for pettin. ' Now this Mr. Smith is very fond of hiking to the river. Any time, it does not make any difference, just so Blondy is along. Of couise, there is al- ways a whole lot of Freshmen couples along, but they have no better sense than to lead the procession. This pleases Mr. Smith very much, Miss Blondy, too. Now it so happened one time Mr. Smith was indiscreet enough to ask me to go along. He even got me a Depot-Stove-Date. (Now wasn ' t that nice of him.) Well, folks, I ain ' t no Freshman, so I manuvered until I was absolutely behind the whole gang. This of course brought its reward in more ways than one, but let me talk of Mr. Smith and not of myself. Now my escort and myself were com- ing along when we saw something that would never do to publish. There they were, the dignified Mr. Smith and Sweet Miss Blondy, settin ' right there in front of us. (I guess I had better not describe the settin ' .) At first I was surprised, but I remembered of the twice-told tales of how this Miss Blondy could make love. I don ' t mean the kind of love that will stand the acid taste of time; but I mean the kind of ephemeral infatuation that made boys like Shakespeare and Browning go wi ld. With all this in mind we eased up within about five feet of their chosen rock. We could hear easily every thing they said in their spring- time undertones, and I am telling you that that woman certainly lived up to her reputation. Mr. Smith took it all very good naturedly. Here I will end this article for two reasons, Mr. Smith is a good boy, and then that was a mighty good date he got me for that afternoon. Skinny Foster was with us the Fall Term, but he left. He said that he had to go and make a little jack. I sure do hate to see Father Time get the best of Mr. Crawford. He is our beloved, our incentive for the Back to The Farm donations, and when Goddess gets his degree what will we all do for a bull pen anyway.

This fall John Rountree came over from Bartlett and brayed the first day. ' ' He ' s a J. A., pass him the halter, cried Xi Chapter in unison. Johnnie picked up an extra halter and brought it to Berry, but somehow or other it wouldn ' t fit. The Chapter now decided that they would haf to haf some hog feed for their barnyard, hence Mathis and West, they never go to town alone. West was taken with a double purpose. (They are figuring on a new house, but I don ' t believe Jim will come across, so all they have is hog feed anyway.) Of course they have to give them credit for two genuine K. A. ' s, these are Herbert Frieze and Wallace Red. Herbert Frieze lives up to their motto, God and the Ladies, and besides he is an habitual stew-dent. Wallace Red is habitual too, but no wimmin for him, hence his youth.

About their only dissipation is Page 232 wearing out shoe leather. They don ' t drink, they are all too poor; they don ' t gamble for the same reason. H. O. Whitehurst, Edwina Nelson Pope, and Parker Pumphrey are the Ladies ' men. Parker is one, sho nuff, but he got caught up with once and a public reprimand followed. Then they have Billy and Shelley in the Scholarship Society, smart boys. Another one of their talking points is their close affiliation with Theta Nu Epsilon. They have three members and two pledges in that great order. Last but not least they don ' t owe but one in- stallment on their victrola. PI KAPPA ALPHA This is a Club. They live enue.

He is a cousin to George Mood (George is a Phi Delt though), and they are both proud of each other. A close second to Pete is DeOtis Forrester. DeOtis is their regular SHE. I mean DeOtis is a wee bit sissy. Mr. John Robert Mc- Daniel, PiK. A. K. K. K., by his flippant and evasive manner on the witness stand this winter, nearly got the Club in Dutch. He nearly got himself in Dutch too. The Club is made symmetrical by its pledges, Rosie Bachtal, Adam Bachtal, and Bruce Duncan. They never give the Club much trouble. The only thing is that Adam thinks more of the Phi Mu ' s than the PiK. A. ' s, and then they can ' t keep Rosie and Bruce sober long enough for them to attend church once on Sunday. Well, I guess you think by now that they must surely have a very high Scholastic standing. No, No, a thousand times No. They have not made their average a single time this year. What does this, mean? It means that Kinky Holloway ' s good grades are all in vain, and that the club is strong for low morals, high life, late hours, and Sub Rosa initiations. Poor Things. This bunch seems to have a hard time with service cars; if the chapter won ' t pay the bill for one of their pledges week-end parties, then Ambrosia and The Big She haf to wreck another Service Car just for spite. If I was mad at these boys I would take you to their nocturnal hangouts (the Snyder Field Clover Patch, any country road), but I will just hint at the things pulled in their parlors. These boys are all good persuaders, hence their unlimited success. These parlor parties are pulled in the wintertime. They must keep the house warm. Page 233 THE BARBS The Barbs are the western.

Uncle Monroe comes next, but they do not count him; he has to spend his time with Big Blondino. Sheriff Joe Brown is a believer of the caucus, so is his roomie, Sarcasm Slim. Now I will follow with the real he-men: Bailey, the fire-eater editorial writer; J. B. Smith, the boy who is loved; Bud Boone, the trinket; John Brown, the goat- herder; Rodney Kidd, the unfaithful lover; Tom Willis and Red Dannelly, the sailors; Mateer, who can ' t get by with hazing; Johnson and Lees, the boys with cute ways; and finally there are the two brothers-in-law, Clendenin and Moore. With this array you cannot wonder at the utter helplessness of a white-socked and buttoned-shoed Freshman. The Co-ed department has sweet Matty Lou, wonderful Lena Belle, darling Mary, chubby Glenna, lovely Noreen, and finally Elizabeth Little, the writer of hot love letters. Now don ' t you think this is enough to run Miss Kirk crazy? Certainly it is. But anyway, folks, when this Ed and Co-Ed get together there is always a hot time.

Clay Berry is married, but he is still taking English 2. Mr. Mox Jackson and Skeet Allen are the smart ellicks of the Crowd. Their pledges are of the usual run of Keepa Swig, all cake eaters and no brains. This lodge is closely affiliated with the Discipline Committee. On their Coat-of-arms there is a strong suggestion of gambling, wimmen, and drinking; this caused The Discipline Committee to investigate. The Committee ' s report stated that the Sigs were not that kind of boys. (The lodge told Dr. Granberry that they were not that kind.) We would not doubt the veracity of Kappa Swigma, would you? Prof. R. W. Tinsley furnishes the lodge with a free Ford car. THE SORORITIES The Choker does not have much to say about Sororities, he doesn ' t like girls anyhow. 7 ? ? , J ALPHA DELTA PI Alpha Doodles, and rightfully named, only they make more noise than an ordinary Doodle Bug. But this is because they are copying The Zetas. They have been trying to be as good as The Zetas for 3 years. The Chapter owns a Champion Gossiper, a brainless wonder, and many other things. The extreme rundown condition of this bunch is because they are so flat broke. However, they did manage to have one party this year anyway. It was a reception and was paid for by the Patronesses. Page 235 PHI MU This is the female Greek lodge that initiates with faint lights, fantastic re- galia, savage dances and weird chants. They are very fond of reckless car riding, in fact two of the daring sisters ventured in A Midnight Ride with Sal McKindley. This was when S. U. played H. P., but they beat the train back to Georgetown and nobody got caught. Again one of these sisters was the leading- lady in a very disastrous bridge party one Sunday night. The Phi Mu ' s have always controlled The Beauty Sections of The Sou ' wester. They are sponsored by Kin key and Adam. DELTA DELTA DELTA These are the Girls from out yonder — Yea, Yea, way out yonder. Some of these girls have to be contented with Phi dates, and the ones who can ' t get Phi dates can ' t get any. This element claim they don ' t want any nohow, they say they have to study. (This accounts for several members in the Scholarship Society). They all rally at the sight of a Trident. This is because of their familiarity with a pitchfork while they are home during the summer. But Miss Kirk is one too. ZETA TAU ALPHA The City Taus is their name, they are noted for their Many, ManyShebas, and of course they have very cityfied ways. They are all fond of Holeproof flesh color. They always sit in the balconies; they think it is a good place to see things from. Well, I do too. They all are generous patrons of the swimming pool, The Honor Councils, and The Discipline Committee. Some of them like the PiK.A. parlor too. They have regular knock-down-and-drag-outs, over who shall get to ride with Barney Google. They have loud mouths and brilliant brains. One of them has passed College Algebra.

Prosecuting Attorney: A Doctor of Laws B. B. (Big Bum). Fred Burgin, from University of Shabtown. Executing Attorney: Kid Rabbit of the House of Mateer. Jury: None. (Sentence given by Judge.) Defendant: Slime Downey. After being awakened from a quiet repose about eleven-thirty said defendant, after slipping on bathrobe and putting on belt, was ushered into a certain room in Mood Hall where an audience and a 2x2 was eagerly awaiting him. After being put to the acid test and no charge could be found against said defendant the eagle-eyed prosecuting attorney espied a white calfskin belt that was tied around the defendant ' s bathrobe. Immediately the defendant was tried for the criminal and atrocious offense of rushing the season. The defendant was asked to name the seasons of the year, upon which he conscientiously and earnestly declared the four seasons to b e spring, summer, autumn and fall. Upon being asked what the name of the season that was composed of December, January and February, said defendant declared winter. He admitted that winter was a season of the year, but when asked the same ques- tion again he persistently reiterated his first statement to the chagrin of the attorneys and spectators. Finally, aided by a persuader of neuter gender, 2x2, more or less, he saw .that autumn and fall were the same season and winter was given a place. The procedure was continuously interrupted by the turbulence of the court. After every break of continuity the illuninating prosecuting attorney adminis- tered punishment to the unfortunates, after which an internal conflagration took place. Incessantly the court was bestirred from a state of tranquility by eminent scholars who make gentlemen ' s grades in school. On account of a deficiency of argumentative power and an insufficiency of gray matter the exhausted and fatigued attorneys and judge decided that procedure should terminate, where- upon the benevolent hearted judge, after bathing and renovating his mouth with brown or red mule, proceeded austerely to propound the verdict. The verdict was received with avidity in the rear of the defendant, after which came adjournment. (Signed) Duke S. Mixture, Court Reporter.

The church wardens, however, required an itemized bill, and the following was duly pre- sented, audited and paid: For correcting the Ten Commandments $5. 12 For renewing Heaven and adjusting the stars 7. 14 For touching up Purgatory and restoring lost souls 3.0G For brightening up the Flames of Hell, putting new tail on the Devil, and doing odd jobs for the damned 7.17 For mending shirt of Prodigal Son and cleaning his ear 3.39 For putting a new stone in David ' s sling and enlarging head of Goliath ... 6. 13 For embellishing Pontius Pilate and putting new ribbon on his bonnet. . . 3.02 For putting new tail and comb on St. Peter ' s rooster 2.30 For repluming and regilding left wing of the Guardian Angel 5 18 For washing the Servant of the High Priest and putting Carmine on his cheek 5.02 For taking the spots off the son of Tobias 10.30 For putting earrings in Sarah ' s ears 5.26 For decorating Noah ' s Ark and putting new head on Shem 4.31 Total $67.30 RODNEY ' S FAREWELL She: And, Oh, my dear Captain Kidd, you won ' t forget me.

BEST OUT Does anyone dispute the fact that the best thing out is a decayed tooth? A flapper told me the other day that the greatest inventor in the world was an Irishman. Says she sees his name on all the machinery — Pat Pending. Page 240 Tommy: Father, what is an equinox? Father: Why — er — it is — lim — why do you ask me, Tommy? Don ' t you know anything about mythology at all? An equinox was a fabled animal, half horse and half cow. Its name is derived from the words equin and ox. Old Boy: What ' s become of the old-fashioned girl who used to say: Ask father? New Guy: She now has a daughter, who says, Give it more gas, George, the old man ' s gaining on us. IS IT? The bachelor friend had been invited to inspect the new baby at the home of a neighbor. Manlike he said: Well, well, but he ' s a fine young fellow, isn ' t she? How old is it now? Do her teeth bother him much? I hope he get ' s through its second summer all right. She looks like you, doesn ' t he? Everybody says it does. And then he went home in a hurry. Oh, no, soliloquized Johnnie bitterly, there ain ' t any favorites in this family. If I bite my finger-nails, I get a rap on the knuckles, but if the baby eats his whole foot, they think it ' s cute. A young lady whose stock of baseball knowledge was not so large as she believed, sat watching a game which was proving very disastrous to the home team. Along about the eighth inning of the farce, she turned to her escort and exclaimed, Isn ' t our Potty just grand? He hits their bats, no matter where thev hold them! Pedestrian : See, here, are you not the same man who got a dime from me three days ago? The Beggar: Yes, sir. But do me best, I can ' t keep me expenses lower than three and a third cents a dav. L. Camp: If you don ' t marry me I ' ll blow out my brains. Juanita: Well, take my advice and .use an eye-dropper. A woman is as old as she feels, and how she feels depends largely on what other folks think of her looks. Page 241 16 A FEW LEAP-YEAR HINTS Ask your parents to object to your fellow during leap year. Then he ' ] marry you for spite. Sit on his knee. Run your fingers through his hair, use flavored lip-stick, and propose in the dark. Buy a comfortable sofa. It will go a long way towards a successful leap year. Make him some home-made candy, and send him a fried chicken. Good lights have ruined many a leap-year prospect. Love is blind, make it in the dark. HOT FROM KANSAS CITY Sam Woodson, an oil-truck driver, imagined he was a sailor on a stormy sea. After drinking a pint of moonshine, Sam poured a thousand gallons of oil into the street to quiet the rolling asphalt. SOME MISTAKE Statistics show 45,093,982 bunches of bananas sold last year. Popular song writer somewhat misinformed. Canada produces twenty per cent of the world ' s cured fish, and oil-stock salesmen produce some more. There are two ways of making a girl fall in love with you: first, lie to her. second, ditto. Don ' t get excited if you find a piece of steel in your bacon. It may have been a razorback hog.

AT THE FOOTBALL GAME Co-ed: W 7 hy do they always cheer when a player gets hurt? Stude: So the ladies won ' t hear what he says. Some people say that talk is cheap.

A NEW AUTOMOBILE, IT IS ANNOUNCED, IS PLANNED TO BE DRIVEN FROM THE BACK SEAT. AND LOTS OF HUSBANDS RISE TO INQUIRE, WHAT ' S NEW ABOUT THAT? Page 243 THE FLAPPER ' S PRAYER Her prayer: I want the lights that brightly shine, I want the men, I want the wine, I want the fun without the price, I want to be naughty and yet be nice. I want the thrill of the first long kiss, I want the things that good girls miss, I want the arms and the heart of a man, And still be single if I can. So, as a lawyer, give me advice On how to be naughty and still be nice. I want to do what the other girls do, Tease and cuddle and bill and coo. Black my eyes, and powder my nose, Rouge my lips, and pencil my lids, Tango a little and shimmie a lot, Park my coat when the weather is hot, Ride and swim and golf and skate, Take the fence instead of the gate, Break all records, yet but one, And be good and true when the game is done, I don ' t like pepper, but I do like spice, I want to be naughty and still be nice Her answer: The advice I give you is sound and true. You can ' t eat your pie and have it, too; If you want the man and you want the wine, Why someone must pay when you love and dine; If the first one yields a moment ' s bliss, You ' ve got to be wiser than most girls, Miss; So watch your step, is my advice, You can ' t be naughty and yet be nice. Go to it, kid, with the grease and paint, To make you look just what you ain ' t. Shimmie and drink to your heart ' s content, Be hugged and kissed till your ribs are bent, Park your clothes on a hickory limb, But never, my dear, go in to swim, Bathe, if you will, on the dewy green, But you can ' t use mud and come out clean; The game you play has been man ' s long suit Since Eve first nibbed the forbidden fruit; So whatever you get, you ' ll pay the price, You can ' t be naughty, and still be nice.

Using the un- derhand stroke after leaving the diving board he dribbled the ball perfectly but fumbled and the other side recovered. Now dash- ing off right end, with a left to the jaw and executing the prettiest bit of skating ever seen in these parts, he made the hurdles in twenty something almost flat, he slapped the handball to and fro, but the next ball caught in the net and the score was love all. It looked for a while he would Mah Jongg but he led an ace and the natural seven that followed was too much for the racing fans. Here he started to take a ten count but played his double five and counted for a black jack. On the next drive off the tee he lost five yards through guard but he immediately jumped two kings in a row. Just as the youngster attempted to mount Zev for the next race the guard stepped up and tapped him on the back and they departed for the padded cell.

The other, thinly sprinkled with men and women of courage and ambition, stretches out to the glowing heights of 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.
