HOUSTON, TEXAS (JicirriLruAijyiiijyrv ' ■■ - T Symbols of rugged strength Are Alma Mater ' s towers, Strength built of faith and love And a trust that now is ours. Over the arched stone portals The creeping ivy crawls, Portals that open wide for us Learning ' s happy halls. FACUJ TT ■Bt oHO Z t f W J 7E, the students of Southwestern University, wishing to ex- m I press our appreciation of our President, have set aside this j f page to him in token of our esteem. Dr. James Samuel Barcus was called to Southwestern as her presi- dent three years ago. He succeeded Dr. Paul Whitfield Horn who is now president of the Texas Technological College at Lubbock. A graduate of the institution and formerly an instructor here, Dr. Barcus is qualified to preside over her destinies, for he knows her history and loves her as a true and loyal son loves his Alma Mater. President Barcus was graduated with the M.A. degree from South- western, and from here he went to Vanderbilt where he did his theo- logical work. He returned and for four years taught in the Department of Bible and Religion. During his thirty years of active ministry he was pastor of many important charges in Texas, and has served as presiding elder in important districts. He was called to be president of Clarendon College where he remained for three years. Southwestern granted him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity in recognition of his splendid work in Texas Methodism. Dr. Barcus has four brothers who are well-known preachers in Southern Methodism. The results of his consecrated work for the Master have been far-reaching. President Barcus always welcomes a student who comes to him for help of any kind. His office door is always open to those who need his advice and inspiration. His whole heart and soul are in his work, and the interests of Southwestern are his interests. bent ? m tant r ' ' fH tOtfK bent |BB Jh anb ■k IPursiar M. linnwiilDTMi ?

He is largely responsible for the collection of funds which made possible the imposing new Woman ' s Building, and is at work now on the Endowment Fund and the proposed Cody Memorial Library. Although he fre- quently finds it necessary to be absent and is not in as close contact with students as he might otherwise be, he is nevertheless one of the best liked fig ures on the campus. Miss Pearl Neas is the lady who holds sway over the Registrar ' s office. She knows just where you stand in your courses, and can give your folks the low-down on your record any time they ask for it. But, more than this, she is always kind and courteous in her contact with the students, and always ready to go out of her way to be accommodating. She has a host of friends among students who have come to love her winsome wavs. bmttv tstra= tion W. H.

After an informal reception in the lobby, a program was given in the Assembly Hall. Music and readings followed an im- pressive service of lighting the tapers in the candelabra, by the Senior girls. Dinner was served to the Seniors at the conclusion of the program, and the class donned caps and gowns for their first appearance in the Methodist Church at the evening service. Pi Kappa Alpha Reception Alpha Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa x lpha gave a reception September ninth at their house, which had been made very attractive with autumn flowers, and ferns. The entire chapter formed the receiving line, with the house mother, Mrs. Mood, and mothers of the members, assisting in entertaining. Refreshments were served on the sun porch of the chapter house. Four hundred callers were registered in the guest book, and the Pi Kappa Alpha reception will be remem- bered as one of the most brilliant of the year. Pledges Entertain Pi K. A. ' s The pledges of Pi K. A. entertained the initiates with a Mexican Supper November twenty second, at the Chapter house. In the evening, following this courtesy, the friends of the Pi K. A. ' s in the Woman ' s Building were entertained and refreshments were served. Inter-Fraternity Smoker Alpha Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha acted as host at the inter-fraternity smoker held during the mid-term. Music was furnished by the Seven Sailors from the Unknown Seas orchestra. Sandwiches and milk constituted the re- freshments, and concluded a most delightful affair. octetp Alpha Delta Pi Christmas Party A jolly Christmas party was one of the notable hospitalities given by the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. The home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Davis made an admirable setting for the party, with the cheer of open fireplaces, and yuletide decorations. Gifts that brought much merriment, and noise, were distributed during the even- ing, and games and refreshments were in keeping with the happiest season of the year. The guests of the Alpha Delts will treasure in their memories the gracious hospitality of the Alpha Delts in the ideal Southern home of one of their members.

Phi Delta Theta Entertains Friends Texas Gamma Chapter of Phi Delta Theta entertained at their house on Church Street at the beginning of the fall term. The approach of Hallowe ' en gave the motif for the evenings ' games, favors and refreshments, and the atmos- phere thus created, mysterious and spookish, was heightened by the masks worn by the guests. During the winter term, the Chapter entertained with a skating party, followed by an informal buffet luncheon at the house. A distinguished visitor, Robert E. Craig, of New Orleans, was honored by his fraternity brothers, the Kappa Sigmas, with a luncheon, during a visit to George- town. Kappa Sigmas Observe Founder s Day The Kappa Sigmas of Iota Chapter observed Founder ' s Day December tenth, at their home on University Avenue. A buffet supper was followed by an inter- esting program received on the radio from St. Louis. Prominent members of the fraternity sponsored this program. Guests of the Society chapter included former members and their wives, and the occasion was a memorable one for all present. Senior Picnic Among the many pleas the picnics given Novem table.

Tri Deltas ' Skating Party One of the most enjoyable of the Tri Delta hospitalities was a skating party given during the stay of the roller skating rink in the city. The prizes for the most graceful skaters were awarded to Frederick Seafers and Miss Mary Young, and for the most awkward to Alvin Stahl and Miss Dorothy Seale. Army Arm- strong ' s fall was given the unanimous vote for the greatest of all during the evening. Refreshments were served at the home of Misses Bernice and Gladys Huffstuttler, and the evening ended in great hilarity when various musical in- struments and noise makers were organized into a carnival band by Messrs. Frederick Seafers and Ellis Perry. Junior-Senior Banquet On Monday evening, February 14, the Juniors entertained the Seniors with a five course dinner. The dining room was effectively decorated in Southwestern colors, and the tables were adorned with spring blossoms, bringing about a scene •octet? of much beauty. Delightfully informal for the most part, a program of toasts was given during the evening and music was furnished by the Black and Gold Orches- tra. Among the speakers were Fred Cooper Smith who welcomed the Seniors and Earnest Hardin who responded. Curtis Nunn read a prophecy in verse which brought forth much applause. Among the faculty representatives were Dr. and Mrs. Barcus, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Flinn, and Mr. and Mrs. Hester. Alpha Delta Pi Steak Fry Notable among the many courtesies planned for the rushees was a steak-fry given by the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority in September.

Hallowe ' en Party Lambda Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha entertained their friends with a progressive Hallowe ' en party which proved to be one of the most successful affairs of the season. The first course, fruit cocktail, was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Gillett, where the Zeta colors, blue and grey, were used in the decorations. Mrs. R. J. Stone was hostess for the buffet supper which formed the second course. After a pleasant hour in the attractive Stone home, the party adjourned to the hospitable bungalow of Dr. and Mrs. Moses, where dessert was served. A stunt program was given by the freshmen and thus ended a most delightful evening. Pledges Entertain Zetas The pledges of Zeta Tau Alpha entertained the initiates with a dinner party at the Commercial Hotel just before the holidays. The table decorations were miniature Christmas trees, and red and green candles. With Miss Annette Matthews as toast mistress, a program was given by the pledges and the initiates, and the evening was a very happy one. Kappa Alpha Social Activities The Kappa Alpha Fraternity entertained informally at various times through- out the year, for pledges and initiates, and for the co-eds. Among the distinguished visitors entertained during the year was Judge W. H. Atwell of Dallas, a member of Xi Chapter, and a prominent alumnus of South- western. A ' . A.s Honor Lee ' s Birthday Robert E. Lee, who sponsored the founding of Kappa Alpha Fraternity, was born January nineteenth, a day that the order has come to hold sacred.

First Formal Reception at Woman ' s Building The Woman ' s Building was opened formally December sixth, when hundreds of friends of Southwestern were received for an inspection of the palatial dormitory. Very graciously, hospitality was dispensed by Miss Kuykendall, and ladies of the faculty, assisted by the charming young women who accompanied the guests through the building, and pointed out the attractive features. The appointments of the dormitory are perfect, and the open-house afforded the callers a great deal of pleasure with the opportunity not only of seeing the building in its entirety, •OClCtP but of meeting the student body of 1926- ' Senior Day Celebration Dull care was left behind when the Seniors went to the river April first for a day of outdoor sports and mirthful diversions. After baseball games, mountain climbing and swimming, the jolly class resolved itself into a Kangaroo Court which provoked much merriment. Luncheon and dinner were given an important place on the day ' s program, and the outing was one of the most pleasant of the Senior class festivities. Faculty representatives were Mr. Glenn Wilburn and Miss Rosemary Walling, and Mr. and Mrs. Claude Howard. A theatre party concluded the day. p geANT ©WOP—  .. eantrp PAGEANTRY IN SOUTHWESTERN During the administration of the much beloved and revered Charles McTyeire Bishop as president of Southwestern University, pageantry in Southwestern had its beginning. Miss Kuykendall organized and directed the first May Fete which occurred May Day, 1915. In an unbroken succession of beautiful pageants May Fetes came and went through the years until the Golden Jubilee, 1923. This year the custom is revived, and June 4th, the tenth pageant is to be presented on the lawn of the Woman ' s Building. Miss Kuykendall has been the only director the pageants have ever had. The thousands of people who have taken part in the pageants, and the many thousands who have witnessed the pageants are testimonials of their importance at Southwestern; and the large measure of success which has characterized each is due to the director who has spent unspar- ingly of talent, time and energy in the large task of assembling the material, organizing the personnel and directing the presentations. Miss Kuvkendall has had most excellent assistance, splendid and whole hearted cooperation, and through her effective personality and unusual executive ability the mere mentio n of May Fete or Pageant at Southwestern calls to mind the spirit of the leader who has placed pageantry firmly in the spirit and tradition of Southwestern University, such that a lapse of three years was insufficient to allow it to become a memory. To the contrary, in spite of a lack of desire on her part to revive the arduous duties pertaining thereto, an urgent demand for a 1927 Pageant called her to the lead of another unusually beautiful occasion.

The constitution of the Association includes provisions for the organization, officers, officers of student publications, executive committee, nominating committee, and the Honor System. The officers of the association are elected on the second Tuesday of May to act for the following school year. The editors and managers of the three publica- tions of the Association are elected in the first week of February. The executive committee, of seven members, three of which must be Seniors, has power to act in representation of the Association, and is elected during the first week of the Kail Term. The nominating committee is described elsewhere in this book. ' The Honor System, controlled by the Students ' Association presumes that every student is a lady or a gentleman. Certain violations of the code of honor are defined in the constitution and are punishable it a student is convicted before the Council of Honor. This Council is composed of nine members; four Seniors, three Juniors, and two Sophomores. The Students ' Association transacts such business as necessitates action on the part of all students and serves to unify and govern many campus activities.

Although any individual may nominate from the floor of the Association, following the report of the committee, the recommenda- tions of the committee are usually accepted. On the first Tuesday in May, the nominating committee reports its recommendations for the officers of the Asso- ciation, to serve the following year.

These students represent the Student Association and serve as a board of judgment in the case of any student who fails to observe the rules and regulations of the Honor System. The Honor Council considers every student a lady or a gentlemen until his or her conduct proves the opposite. The Council this year, however, has adopted a slight change in its procedure of a case. A student is neither considered guilty nor innocent upon appearing before the Council but is asked to clear himself or herself of all question, to the satisfaction of everyone. A unanimous decision of the Council is necessary. The Honor Svstem was not built up as a limitation, but rather as a protection. It is anticipated that the present movement on foot for a Greater Southwestern will eventually result in the emancipation of the working principles of a high system of Honor which will even prove to be an inspiration and a goal.

Realizing the importance of true friendships and that such friend- ships can come only from really knowing one ' s associates, the Y.W.C.A. has sponsored the organization of Club Unions. The girls were divided through a process of drawing, into twelve cosmopolitan groups, with a leader for each group. The responsibility for the social life of the group each week, was cared for by a committee from that group. Such entertainments as feasts, picnics, hikes, picture show parties, and many other forms of pleasure were planned and carried out. Often the groups would get together, take the University bus, and go to Austin to a drama, a musical comedy, or to hear some great artist. In these groups the poor and the rich girls became understanding friends; the Sorority girls met the non-sororitv girl, all on equal footing, each developing her own personality by finding something likeable, something beautiful and something worth-while in the personalities of others. These Club Unions have become a part of our New Annex, and will con- tinue to live helping to furnish for the girls of the Woman ' s Building; not more social life, but a higher type of social life; not more friends, but truer friendships.

It is to Youth that the World is turning for the solution of its problems, for in Youth one finds the seeds of a new civilization. If solutions are given and a new and better civilization built, there must be training; there must be places for expression; there must be times when students can call a halt in their apparent rush through Life, and think upon the vital issues of this Life.

LOVE WARRINER TERRY COMPTON MOOD CUNNINGHAM WHIGHAM PYLE The local Y.M.C.A. is a part of the movement of Young Peoples Christian Associations. The purpose and ideal of the Y.M.C.A. is to bring the campus to a higher plane of living, to seek, and to help others seek, through faith in Jesus Christ, an answer to the problems that confront the student in his daily round, to stimulate real thinking on the part of each individual student on his relation- ship with his fellow student and with God and to make that relationship a little closer and more satisfactory than before. In short to help each student to find the highest and best in life through a practical application of the teachings of Jesus in every relationship. The old Mood Hall dining hall was remodeled and refurnished as a reading and play room, and is equipped with books, magazines, games, a piano and a radio; and a small gymnasium is also being prepared. A Student ' s Handbook was published at the beginning of the year for the benefit of the new students, finding employment for those desirous of work, and in cooperation with the Y.W.j sponsored a get acquainted week of socials and receptions. Notable in the work of the Y this year has been the organization of the Georgetown Knot-Hole gang, which is an organization of the younger boys of the town for the purpose of training them under proper leadership to a higher moral standard of living. GUSMAN FLY DAVIS ONSTOT YOUNG CALDWELL RICHESON JORDAN PALMER BOX GOODSON BROWN GRAVES GILLETt KEITH GRIFFITH MCNEIL In the spring of 1926 the policy of designating high rank students who have completed two years of college work as Honor Students was inaugurated. Such students are granted certain privileges, such as optional attendance upon classes and chapel, with the purpose of securing for them freedom to pursue more original work of interest to them in connection with their major subject. A gratifying number of students have qualified for honors, and at the beginning of each term public recognition of newly elected students is held in the chapel, at the close of which each student elected is presented with a certificate by the chairman of the Honors Committee of the faculty. Honor students are expected to do unusually excellent work, especially in their chosen field of study, and the committee re- ceives reports of their progress and achievement from instructors involved. Up to the present time reports have been almost uniformly gratifying to the com- mittee, and the establishment of the policy seems to have justified itself in results obtained. From time to time, as circumstances arise, the administration of honors may be modified but the essential aim of securing larger freedom of study for especially gifted students will remain as the raison d ' etre of the Honors List. pernor bents r brooks Bebate JOE BROWN LOVE, JOE HUMPHREY ' , DOUGLAS DASHIELL, J.

Any student is eligible for membership in the Society who has established an average of ninety over a minimum of eighteen majors, or an average of eighty-seven over twenty-seven majors of work. Good character and reputation are essential qualifications for entrance. The colors of the Society are emerald green, signifying victory, and sapphire blue, signifying truth. Each member is entitled to wear a key in the form of a shield, and bearing a lamp representing the light of knowledge and truth. It is the custom of the Society to award a dictionary to the Freshman attaining the highest average in his or her work during the year. A speaker is invited at some time during the vear to adciress the student body on some phase of scholarship. luppa Belta DOWNMAN TERRV A I, BIN BROOKS PATTERSON HAI.L DICKSON SAUNDERS KARBACH LOVE SMITH CLEMENTS HARRIS ALBRITTEN LEGG GATES DASHIELL It is the purpose of this organization to stimulate prog- ress, and to promote interest in intercollegiate oratory, debate, and public speaking, by encouraging a spirit of intercollegiate fellowship, of brotherly cooperation and in- terest, and by conferring upon deserving candidates the badge of distinction, proficiency, and honor, varied and graduated according to merit and achievement. amma HEREFORD GRAV DAVIDSON WILLIAMS ULLRICH KUVKENDAI.L HESTER BARCUS YOUNG HARKEY GOODSON ONSTOT BOWLES TERRY The purpose of the Alpha Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu Social Science Society is to form a nucleus of Social Science thought, from which emanate forces that cause thought and action toward a betterment of the social conditions. With such a purpose in view, this, the third year of its existence on Southwestern ' s campus, we find the Society earnestly working by bringing good speakers to stimulate the Society. The requirements for entrance are not too high, but are sufficiently high to enable only such students as are especially interested in Social Science to gain entrance. Juniors, seniors, and faculty members are eligible for membership, and their major interest must be in Social Science.

The Sigma Tau Delta is a professional writing fraternity for those eager to master the fine art of expression. Its purpose is to foster the creative expression of life in the terms of truth and in accordance with the laws of design. All members are pledged to produce regularly and contribute to The Rectangle, the national organ of the fraternity. Rank- ing ranges from the first to the tenth degrees — three for undergraduates and seven for graduates and instructors. Academic standing and the amount of original published material determine the rank. The works of several members have appeared in magazines. The Southwestern chapter has five facultv members and is sponsored by Dr. Claud Howard, founder who is a national adviser.

The Choral Club is one of the most active musical organizations of the campus. The artistic and attractive programs presented in Chapel at various times, on Fine Arts Programs and on tour met with enthusiastic response. The musical work of the Club has ranked it with one of the best choral organizations of the state, a fact of which Southwestern is justly proud. The spring tours of 1927 included Hearne, Caldwell, Bryan, Calvert, Cameron, Temple, Lampasas, Brady, Ballinger, Coleman, Comanche, Hamilton and Gates- ville. The Glee Club of Southwestern is a group of sixteen carefully selected voices. Preference is given to upper-classmen who have sung in t he club during a previous season; however, an exceptional voice will entitle a newcomer to due consideration. The Glee Club makes a tour annually to important towns in Texas and is also featured in a concert on the Campus during National Music Week. The 1927 tour includes engagements at New Braunfels, San Antonio, Karnes City, Corpus Christi, Taft, Robstown, Goliad and Gonzales. Steps have been taken which will probably make the Southwestern Glee Club a part of the national organization of the Intercollegiate Musical Council, Inc. Such action will involve the Glee Club in State contests with other clubs of like standing, and, in the event of demonstrated superiority, possibly in national contests. The work of our club has been to prepare a program of standard and enter- taining selections with a leaning toward music of the best composers. The per- sonnel of the 1927 club has been exceptional in several respects. The Club has been directed throughout the season by Dean Meyer. panb Russell E.

The various choirs were placed in charge of competent principals, who, in cooperation with the conductor, succeeded in bringing about a well balanced ensemble. The splendid spirit of the Department of Music has helped make possible the growth of this organization. Although it is a voluntary student group, with a loyalty not surpassed by any other student organization, the orchestra would have been most seriously handicapped without Miss Vause, head of the violin department. The Orchestra appears in chapel occasionally, bring- ing to the students music of a high type. The University from time to time sends the Symphony out to repre- sent her before the people of Texas. The Southwestern Little Orchestra should be men- tioned as the utility section of the Orchestra and fur- nishes music for University functions and calls from the city and surrounding territory for minor occasions.

Regular meetings are held the first Monday of each month, and call meetings are held at the request of members. The purpose of this Council is to encourage a better understanding between fraternity and non-fraternity men, to govern fraternities in regard to rushing, pledging, and initiating, to settle all disputes and difficulties that may arise be- tween the fraternities, thereby maintaining a spirit of cooperation and harmony, to encourage scholarship to the extent that no fraternity may, initiate until a certain average is made by the fraternity and the pledges. Pan Hellenic sponsored, as in previous years, the inter-fraternity smoker that was given in the winter term. Each year a schedule is arranged for baseball, basket ball, and track. This year tennis and golf were added to the inter-fraternity sports. Rules regarding eligibility are passed by this body and dates are fixed for the occurence of events. All rules set forth by the Dean of Women and the Dean of the University have been endorsed by Pan-Hellenic and the different fraternities are held re- sponsible. SORORITIES 815H0P.

The Pirates gave the Texas Longhorns two terrific battles, the Steers being extremely lucky to win the first by a home run in the ninth with the score 4-2 against them.

They ' re out courtin ' , now. So I think I did my Boy Scout, what say ye, babe? I was just a wreck by the time I got back to the Woman ' s Bldg., but you never can tell when you ' re through, here. Cut my leg off if Miss Kuyk., our Dean — you ought to meet her, she ' s got it — doesn ' t stop me with, Darling, you will show these people over the building. Of course I would; and tell the truth, we have the loveliest building in the country, but what I mean, one does get weak walking all over it many times a day. It ' s getting me down. Ah, ha! The girl who rooms vice versa across the hall is the flattest tire I ' ve ever seen. Foul She made one of these Secret Service things. That whips me. She ' s been having convulsions all afternoon because she got invited to a Fie party. When she got her bid she screamed, O, Baby, I love you! Some body yelled back, If you don ' t stop, I ' m going to bop your ears down. Laugh? I thought I ' d die. Oh, let ' s get down to it, honey, I ' m unproud of you for not coming to Southwestern. I know that ' s tellin ' it to ' em, fat lady, but you ' d do well to do that. I ' m through with you if you don ' t make it by next term. I can hear you mumble, You could have talked all night without saying that. You may think, Chum, you ' re bragging but it ' s O.K. babe. Don ' t think I ' m bein ' tricked. Big time. Come next term. Chum, let ' s do that li ' l ole thing. Oh, I can get off. Love, Lou. Cecil White looked on banquet me- She ' s a little bit ugly I ' ll vow; nu and saw the word toast.

Lot that they have done isn ' t known about on the campus on account of their peaceful home life in the suburbs, their private lane, and lot barns where the pledges stay. They pledged a few freshmen who didn ' t know what they were getting into, but after they found out they all left school. Their president, Lewis Warriner, dis- played his leadership by leading a young innocent lady away from the dormitory and getting her kicked out of school. Brother Hodges reports that at the rapid rate of payment the radio will be completely paid for by 1984. PHI MU Their condition is improving some- what. They have done well consider- ing they began the year with three girls. The ambition of this bunch is to rate as well with the K.A. ' s as one of their good sisters at State does. Their main object is to train girls to be old maid school teachers, and they seem to be fairly successful. PHI DELTA THETA A high school club that has pledged every barb that ' s entered school with as many as two pair of trousers. They forgot their policy was to rush barbs, only before election week, but instead kept on rushing. In this manner they managed to get an ex K.A. pledge. If they can get their Victrola out of the Sig house they intend to do some hot rushing with the use of their jitney service and the aid of Gatesville petti- coats. That is, if they are able to rush at all, because they rushed so far after Bratton that they rushed right out of the Pan-Hellenic council at the re- quest of the other fraternities. Of course, the athletic feats of Walter Fox, Fred Seafers, Clyde Sud- dath have kept them on equal footing with the rest of the regular fellows. ZETA TAU ALPHA It was too bad that the chapter was so busy sewing up girls that the Tri Delts beat their time with the Kappa Sigmas. Around time for fraternity parties to begin the Zetas suddenly grow very Pan-Hellenic. Anyway, you can ' t be a Zeta unless you slip out of the dormitory at least twice a week. Their motto might have been Wine, men and song, but none of them can sing. Their leaders, two of them, are in favor of changing their coat of arms to a chisel and mallet so that they can pry into a few more things. KAPPA SIGMA These collegiate wonders can ' t have dates over at the house without being called up by the Dean. They call themselves Novajoeir, a traditional name handed down from some old chief. They are considering changing their colors from red, green and white, to black and blue. They got the idea from being bumped so much. If you don ' t rate so well at the Woman ' s Building one of their brothers can al- ways find you a window date. But don ' t rely on Bailey Sheppherd, for he will make you two or three, and then obligingly break them for you. TRI DELTA They have the advantage of having the Dean of Women for a frat sister. Last year the older girls had quite a time keeping some of their freshmen within the folds as far as the Phi ' s were concerned. Two of these way- ward girls went so far as to have a K. Sig. and a K. A. date. They are similar to the Phis around election time, for at this time they love every- body (excepting a certain Tri Delt brother) and during rush season they call the Zetas common and the Alpha Delts flat tires. Of course, everybody knows the four that intend to conduct old ladies ' homes in the near future. PI KAPPA ALPHA These are a bunch of would be so- ciety leaders. They bought a house, and pledged the whole campus to pay for it. That is, what the Phis didn ' t get. They used to have the biggest men on the campus until Army Arm- strong left school so unexpectedly. It is rumored that he left McCamey be- cause some one insulted him by call- ing him Ned of the First Reader, and left with out shaving. Their national anthem is Horses so they pledged Doug. Dasheill, Gen- try Bros, pacing pony. Bruce Duncan and Willis Gray, the two polished gentlemen of the fraternity, have done everything in their power to keep up the fraternity socially, especially mor- ally. ALPHA DELTA PI If noise counted for anything two of their pledges , would have put them on the map before now. Of course, they were all disappointed in not getting an Alpha Delt May Queen this year. They spend part of their time eating the other half over at the little store trying to inveigle dates. It ' s a popular idea in this sisterly order for some of their most unso- phisticated members to become inac- tive. Scr ambled Eggs I must confess, Or you will guess And a great movie actor Was once quite a factor That I can ' t poetize. But you can bet None beats me yet, When e ' er I prophesize. In the Senior class some years ago. So handsome and trim, Maje Hardin, that ' s him. To be seen at the best picture show. Ten years from now, I see as how The facts I write are true. And the transformations In the occupations For the Seniors are far from few. It would seem quite absurd If you hadn ' t have heard Of the doings of Docs Fowler and Palmer. They ' ve invented a lotion Which brings certain devotion From the user — what a heart balmer! There is Walter Bell Whom I knew well Back in the Senior class. Remember Joe Love? He ' s the darlingest dove For fifty-two girls in the Follies. He ' s Governor now. It ' s simple, you see, And the Missourians vow He lets no criminals pass. And as clear as can be. He ' s director for all of those dollies. They say that he Will surely be In the race for President. But the Texan looks Towards Johnnie M. Brooks. On their Governor they are bent. Believe this or not About Ed Onstot Who married Miss Janice Goodson. A journalist he is, And this is his biz: He edits the Georgetown Sun. And did you know Mary Pat ' s in a vodvil show? Our friend Raymond Moses Has no bed of roses. She ' s quite a hit, it ' s true. And her funny looks As she burlesques Miss Brooks — Why laughs are far from few. In fact, ' tis to the contrary. And with Miss Bowles his wife, Each has given their life As a foreign missionary. And the latest report They ' ve tried the pastors in court, Every one from all over Texas. Now Walter Moss, He is the Boss Of a taxicab company in Waco. And not one has been good But the escaping Frank Mood. What a record for one of our exes! But he persisted in vain For Evalyn Payne, And at last he had to take no. I can not forget The lovely brunette. Miss Hubly, that was the girl. And she married Shrader. That boy ' s a persuader! And they ' re living down on the farm Such a great movie queen Has never been seen. Every gentleman ' s brains in a whirl. Raising cattle and chickens, And raising the dickens. But all ' s well — so have no alarm. Scrambled Eggs Qo?itinued Now, Bobbie Burns and Jimmie Lowe Are selling tonic in a medicine show. And this is what I ' m told: That the confessions written by lawyer Fox How it cured him up from the chicken pox Have caused numbers to be sold. And could you imagine that Army would be an acrobat? Well you ought to see him turn ' em. And on any trapeze, He ' s at perfect ease, In that circus made famous by Barnum. There is Miss Beulah Davis. Oil please Heaven save us From her amorous novels of sins. But she is a success, Though we have to confess They are much worse than Elinor Glyn ' s. If you want a hamburger, See Charles Durrenberger Who ' s bought out Jim ' s popular stand. And Miss Melba Box Is now mending his sox, For she latelv gave him her hand. That good old boy Grady, He beat Mister Brady In Georgetown ' s last city election. And if you drive fast, It surely can ' t last; You ' ll stop — and it ain ' t for reflection. The scientist Crenshaw Has found many a flaw In the theory of man ' s evolution: After examing studes here He expresses a fear ' Tis not ev- but ' tis devolution. Miss Elizabeth Fly Is praised to the sky As Dean of women here in S.U.. And what ever she says Every co-ed obeys — Such miracles often come true. Ernest Hardin and Hick Will ne ' er get rich quick. They ' re bootdegging wood alcohol. And poor Gusman is still, For he would drink his fill. Such things make their business pall. Salesmen, Duncan and Vaughan Can sell you the lawn Of any house over in Venice. The statue of Liberty, too, They can bargain to you. Watch out! You ' ll lose all vour pennies. He went beyond Nome To see Santy Claus ' home Did Seafers, the Arctic explorer. And what he found there Was a big polar bear. Poor Seafers! He needs a restorer. The president of S.U. Is one whom you knew, Louis Gordon is that fellow this session. And they say, in the college Friends come before knowledge, And pawdno is the favorite expression. You ' ve seen it, I know That ' s Terry ' s tent show. You can hear his announcing so well That two miles away, You can tell on what day Velma Biggs will play Little Nell. Mr. Afton C Weir. Is living right here. He ' s become a very rich gent. He asked for the hand, And gave a certain gold band To a spinster, Miss Jewel Ozment. The rest of the class, All just failed to pass. Then why should I take up all night By being a bore? They should have done more. But they surely saved me from a plight. Curtis Nunn (Politician) When in after years you turn through the pages of this Sou ' - wester the elass history of South- western ' s 192 6- 1927 school year, and the many photographs recall to your memory the faces of old friends and acquaintances, may this familiar slogan, The Sign of Good Clothes, that has appeared in all your college publications, again come to mind, and your friends and supporters at this store be remem- bered by you as the store that fea- tures the newest of College Styles while they are new.
