Two champion- ships in football, two championships in baseball and two championships in basketball thus far are indicative of his ability as a coach. His comprehensive knowledge of the game, his ability to keep his players fighting, and his never-quit attitude are some of the qualities characteristic of Lefty. His fighting spirit reaches far beyond his teams to the last student in the university. Ernest H. Hereford, {left) manager of athletics and P. T. for men.

BROWN Godbev, Edens, Tinslev, Hereford, Lehmberg ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Season: The athletic season of ' 27 started off with the basketball matches. The Pirate five of the year previous had won the conference championship. Du e to the loss of some lettermen and to the period required by the coach to teach the new men his sys- tem of play, the five of ' 27 started extremely slow. Thus retarded, the Pirates took second, concluding a successful season, considering the circumstances. Although no official conference championship was awarded in baseball, the Pirates ended the season with the best percentage of games won and lost of any conference club, and thus were generally recognized as champions. Coach Kidd of the cinder path found hard going from the start. Few men returned from the championship aggregation of the previous vear, and the track problem was that of developing practically a new team. Although no championship was won, the season can be looked upon as a rather successful one, considering the little material with which the coach had to work. The football season of ' 27 will be remembered as one of the most successful in the his- tory of Southwestern. Not only was the championship of the Texas Conference won, but the season ' s results included victories over Baylor and Rice, two of the S. W. C. schools. Lefty successfuly faced the problem of building up a new line in the absence of the old mainstays of the previous year, resulting finally in a veritable Corsair brick wall. Extra! Announcing the championship of the Pirate cagers over the Texas Conference, making the second basketball championship in three years under Lefty Edens ' di- rection.

Any violation of this principle in any phase of college life is a violation of the Honor System. All members of the Student Hotly are honor bound to take cognizance of and report to a member of the Honor Coun- cil any violation of the principle included in the scope of the Honor System.

Under the able direction of William Dwight Wentz, the players produced The Goose Hangs High on the evening of December 15 and repeated it in January. The second production, Lady Winder- mere ' s Fan, appeared on the 8th and 9th of March. Mr. Wentz plans to close the sea- son with several one act plays.

Griffith Treasurer The Scholarship Society was founded in the spring of 191 5. Following the proposal ot this Society a conference of several Texas universities and colleges was held in George- town, February 22, 1922 to plan and effect the organization of the Scholarship Societies of Texas. At the last annual meeting of the Council held at Brownwood, February 22, 1928, the name was definitely fixed as The Scholarship Societies of theSouth,reprerenting the extension of the organization outside of Texas. The Council this year conferred the presidency of all the chapters for the coming year upon W. P. Davidson. Griffith, Burgin, Thompson, Ullrich, Howard Herring, Bruton, Gray, Hodges Williamson, Wier, Bruton, Edens, Box SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY The objects of the Scholarship Society according to the constitution are the stimula- tion, development, and recognition of scholarship, and those elements of character which make scholarship effective for good. Students who make an average of eighty-seven over twenty-seven majors or ninety or above on eighteen majors are eligible for election. Election must follow the approval of both the Society and the Faculty. The top or rank- ing tenth of the Junior and Senior classes are also eligible for the Society. The local Society awards a Webster ' s unabridged dictionary to the Freshman boy or girl who makes the highest average over the year. Dr. H. J.

In 1873, the present organization was founded, being Southwestern ' s first Literary Society. The Alamos recently organized themselves into a senatorial body for the sake of variety and the study of parliamentary procedure.

L. Cox President Edwin C. Mason Vice-President Alfred B. Nichols Secretary -Treasurer Bernard L. McCord Reporter The Ministerial Association is an organization for the Student Ministers upon the cam- pus. It is a band of men looking forward to a common service for the Church and for hu- manity, and with these ideals in mind the activities of the Association are so guided as to best prepare these men for their particular service. This year, members of the Association have preached approximately one hundred times in neighboring churches cooperating with the Life Service Band in taking pro- grams to the county farm for the poor, the jail, and at the homes of shut-ins. Realizing the need of a more effective reading and a more efficient interpretation of Scripture from the pulpit, the Association secured Mr. Wentz to direct a class in the interpretative study of hymns, religious poetry, and Scripture reading. Such interpreta- tion was studied from the standpoint of the speaker and was not a critical interpretation of content.

The meetings of the Club are largely given over to recitals partici- pated in by the members. Thus the regularly appointed recitals have been to a degree displaced by the new combination recitals at the meetings. Box, Griffith, Brown, Bruton, Graves, Hodges Gillett, Thompson, Keith, Edens, Williamson, Onstot HONOR STUDENTS Recognizing that some students are sufficiently interested in their work to guide them- selves to a certain extent in their studies and researches, the administrative authorities of Southwestern have established the honor student system in which these exceptional students may exercise and strengthen this initiative apart from the lock-step svstem of education. Optional class attendance enables them to do additional original work. The selection of these students is made on the following terms: (i) The names of students who are eligible for the Scholarship Society shall be re- ported to the Committee on Honor Students by the Registrar as soon as possible after the close of each term. (2) The heads of departments may recommend to the Committee the names of any other students of unusual ability who have not qualified for the Scholarship Society.

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 accordance with the ideals of Truth, Sincerity, and Design. All members are pledged to produce regularly and contribute to The Rectangle, the national organ of the fraternity. There are ten degreees available — three for undergraduates and seven for graduates and instructors. The rank is determined by academic standing and amount of original published material. Several of the members have had works published in well known magazines.

This section has been written with nothing in mind but fun, and I am hoping that vou will take it in the same manner, tor I have no grudge against anyone. You have done things and maybe I ' ve seen you; you ' ve done things and maybe you ' ve told me about them; you ' ve done things and maybe I ' ve only heard through gossip; and then, too, maybe you ' ve only wished you could do certain things. With this means of gathering material I have had lots of fun. I ' m passing it on to vou. If it is a lie, brand it as such; if it is partly true, say so; if it is only imagination, I ' m sorry. But remember that I cannot write things like this without a great deal of exaggeration. On the other hand, if you have been found out don ' t gripe at me too much, ' cause you know there might be something I didn ' t put in print. The Choke ' 28 First comes the awarding of prizes.

Congratulations to this long, tall skinny Margaret Barnett. She has dodged the Choker. I ain ' t got a thing on her all year, but that doesn ' t apply to the late date she and Grady had in summer school of 1927. The conscientious Mrs. Culberson was the goat but never did know it. Margaret nearly got caught but she didn ' t, so it ' s congratu- lations again. Between the winter and spring term, there was a party pulled in Rockdale that was a whiz. Perry-Rountree, Moet-Loewenstein and Meekins-Rank Outsider composed the entire cast. You see, I ' d never known if they hadn ' t come back here blowin ' about it. Maybe some dav folks like these will learn to keep their traps closed. It ' s darn funny to me why little Baby Face gave Joe Humphrey the gate. Looks like she didn ' t know her paper dolls, ' cause she ' s been running around with that Suddath guv ever since. One night it sure was funny how the cohorts of J. Y. Gates and Harold Graves were smoking cigarettes and drinking ice water. The second stoop west outfit ot good old Mood Hall furnished protection from the wintry weather. There was a song in every swallow. The registrar ' s opinion of the various fraternities. Kappa Sigmas — Hot Stuff, wonderful boys. — Give ' em cigars. Phi Delta Theta — Good bovs, too, but not cigar raters. Kappa Alpha- — Oh well, not so good. Pi Ka A ' s — Oscar, have ' em inspected. They ' re a bunch of unconventionals. If you want to whip the Sigs, ask them what recommendations they had on Newsom before thev pledged him. Ask why he was not pledged at Washington Lee and why he was not pledged at Texas and why, if this chapter is so darn proud, he was pledged over here above the protests of the worthy brethren in Austin. You know I ' ll bet Lois Williams, Alice Hitchcock, the Brewer girl, Sunny Sanders, Jenette Gray and Wava Martin sure wish they could spend the winter in Bryan, because, you know, these Aggies will date anything. I did have Alice Hargreaves with this bunch but she and Goree seem to be holding hands pretty regular now. The big attraction at the basketball games for all the gals is none other than the shapely form of Sue Brannen. More power to you Sailor. The Woman ' s Bldg. Spring Term Dear Sally: I told you not to go to that there girl ' s school. Gee Whizz! This is a keen place, I ' ve had lots of fun down here all year. We got Sorritys. I don ' t guess you know what that is, but a Sorrity is a huncha girls who get together and have truth meetings about their dates, and besides a Sorrity girl getz to wear a pin with pearls in it. I joined the Phi Mu ' s cause Lois Williams is one and I thought I wouldn ' t change so much while I am in College if I ran with her, cause she ' s just like me. But we ' ve got some other kinda girls, too, Ilfrey, Becker, and Newton are the ones who date the most, and thev sure catch thunder in the truth meetings cause Alice Hitchcock is so suspicious. Aston and Kirkwood are about the best we got but thev sure are silly. Tommy Lou has to run everything. Sally, there is the Zetas here too, thev are different from us, all they think about is dates and trying to train their pledges to be a bit wild, and noisey. They think they are pirty smart and up-town, but they are such a bunch of Dumb Doras thev don ' t get by with half as much as they think thev do. All of ' em live by this, There is No Hill for a Stepper, th is is specially true of Smith, Caton, Murphy, Rountree, Mitchell, Stone and Hodges. Some of ' em even go so far as to get Frenchv to give his moonlight impres- sion of The Dance of the Blue Stripes. These are the girls who got bumped and bumped hard by the Tri Delts and K.A. ' s this year. Thev sure took it hard. Speakin ' of Tri Delts, well that is the name of another girls club. They appear to be a little tamer than the Zetas; but that is because they have Fox, Sanders, Karbach, Ayers and Sadler to keep their reputation for flat tires. However last fall these flat tires came forth with a complete reversal of policy. We ' ll be as Wild as the Zetas, if it takes two years. My Goodness you had ought to see what all they pledged, I don ' t think they ' ll have to wait two years. Just the other day I heard John Rowntree say he ' d as leave have a Tri Delt date nowadays as a Zeta anytime. These girls had an awful hard time puttin ' up a beauty, all their purty girls like Nancy and Adelaide were only pledges, and they had to pick an initiate, and the one they picked was a complete failure. The Alpha Delts are another bunch, they are kinda hard to understand, cause you are liable to have your pledge broken at any time and your roommate initiated. All because of Jessie Davis, you know she has a big ear for gossip. However some of these girls are nervy and will do what they please, and as a result right now half of them don ' t know what the other half is doing. Another thing I don ' t like about this bunch is that they run after the Phis, thar ' s one bunch I can ' t stand. There hasn ' t been a Phi Mu in that Phi house all year. The Alpha Delts ' weakest sisters are Fly, Spencer, Cruikshank, Smith and Wagon. Liz Tarver is their loud speaker. Well Sal, I sure hope vou will change schools next year and come on down here. With your experience in High School, and a year in a girls college you had ought to he enough speed to make a new crop Tridelt or a typical Zeta. Yours, for co-education, Fimu Susie FRATERNITIES Phi Delta Theta: These are the boys down by the railroad track who pledged themselves to this pic- ture. The scoop gives you the key- note to their purpose and it ' s not hard to say that the entire chapter runs true to form. The animal ' s head is what they try to hide but can ' t. Their scholarship is evi- denced by their membership in Kappa Beta Phi. (The sotz inter- fraternity.) They also keep up a keen interest in crap shooting while to the unsuspecting student body, so they think, they try to get over in politics, but they are like the broken down race horse. All you can say for their success in the elections is, They also ran. The entire chapter devotes its spare time in keeping Suddath in school, what for, I don ' t know. It looks to me like it ' s a good chance to get rid of him. That J. A. ' s head up there is to convey the impression of Bell, Smith and Fowler. To the dice-shooters ' detail and gangfighters ' union for out of town dances belong Young, Andrews, Brownlea, Kurth and Clements. Their politicians are repre- sented by Fox, Compton, Guggolz and Gafford. Pi Kappa Alpha: These are the boys that rate deuce high with the faculty and every- body else. The reason is the presence of five big Senior deuces among them, Woodson, Lowry, Dashiell, Hallmark, and Armstrong are the boys, and if you can get any good out of that bunch, I ' d like to know what it is. Another thing wrong with this out- fit is their inability to keep off social probation and on national prohibi- tion. They pulled a big brawl the first of the year and they ' ve been in hot water ever since. Sheik Lee and Mee- kins are two of the boys and Sheik is famous on the campus as a swell dres- ser even though he doesn ' t comb his hair, while Monkey Meekins gets his publicity for his immediate infatua- tion for new girls. Moet, Stevens and Dies are their contribution to the Zetas. The front of their house looks like the junk yard of a second hand automobile dealer. But two things vou can say for them are their leader- ship in studies and their love for the Dean and their love for their next door neighbor. Kappa Alpha: Kappa Alpha ' s are what belongs to Poppa Joe Allen. They are generally considered genuine south- ern H.A. ' s. The ambition of this bunch is three-fold, baseball, tri-delts and corn lik- ker. They do well in all. The big trouble at present is raising enough money to pay the rent on time each month, and yet they brag around the campus that they ' re going to build a house and be stable like the other three fraternities. Huh, the only house they got or ever will have is the baseball dugout. They meet there every afternoon. Allen and Rown- tree are the rush captains for the Tri- Delts, and high powered they are too. Look how they helped Odessa to pledge Tri-De lta. All the rest of the outfit com- pose their barleycorn club. This phase of Kappa Alpha manifests itself at the back tables of the alcove, most notable among them being Lawrence, Thomas and Wads- worth. Their one redeeming feature is the presence of Lewis Warinner on the Honor Council. Kappa Sigma: One man in George- town says he lives between Hell and and the railroad track, and I guess he is right, because these are the boys who brag they are hell raisers. They attempt this reputation even though it costs them the presence of a couple of pledges. Their shield is almost self- explanatory. Nellie Gone is their present condition in more ways than one. While they have six brilliant stars in their line-up, thev never mention but five. This is especially true when company is around. They extend themselves to the utmost to keep Red Harris out of the house or out of sight. Thev must not be so proud of Little Red. These boys are well heeled on faculty protection. They have a brother who is house father. The Zetas are what thev try to get over with and Bill Dickson, but Burch and Lippy both mean right by Nell so we won ' t cast any reflection on them. Blackburn is their offer to Varsity — burnt-offering to Varsity. Freshmen, and they alwavs will be — John Rowntree, Skeet Simmons, Bill Grav, Hog Hodges, Harvev Durst, Geo. Rankin Pace, Lewis Meekins and Red Harris and Kurth. Some folks give this Brick Lowry lots of credit for working at the garage all night — - Well, I happen to know that Ole Brick would be willing to pay five or ten dollars a week to get to work down there. In Gatesville it ' s just plain Hazel Sanders, but here it has to be Miss Hazle Saunders. College did that for her. Who gave Walter Woodson the razz, the axe, and the merry Ha, Ha? Well I ' m not calling any names, but he married the girl. TO THE CO-ED I ' ve had my times in college, I ' ve played, I ' ve lost, and I ' ve won. I ' ve been in affairs with Co-eds, I ' ve come out faithful to none. You give ' em the rush, you wiggle and squirm, Because you ' re caught in their line; And you walk away with words that curse, You ' ll do it every time. Now I ' m not the lad to sit and brag Of things I ' ve learned, costing dear, But I can say this, there are things I know — And I ' ll remember for many a year. The Co-eds are a funny lot, There are times when you doubt your own eyes; But the thing that hurts and the thing that cuts. Is to have to believe in their lies. Now I was a Freshman to begin with, I ' d never been taught to roam — I lost my head over a chubby blonde, And she caused me to hobo home. Hot as a fox I ' ll tell you, And I, — well, I was only sixteen; But ere I got rid o ' that huzzy I was fleeced, and really fleeced clean. Next fall I was back, — No Wimmen for Me, Athletics were taking my time. But, IT came by, and flirted, — free; Three dates and I was over the line. I was warned by the boys — I believed them not, We continued our little game - And after awhile with reluctance I saw, Three others were playing the same . nr TFR A secret grass widow was the next one, She had money and power good store; I thought she would know, but she didn ' t know- And I was in trouble once more. Her form and blue eyes rated marriage, But she was fed up on that; So today we harbor a secret — A secret you never will get. Then a brown eyed girl of the college town, She looked like a blessing to me. I played her so — and you may know She ' s married now, you see. I ' ve met her man, I ' ve drunk his beer, A likeable chap, I ' d say. But a high sign here and a high sign there, Have shown that she ' d run away. So I ' ve had my times in college, I ' ve lost more times than I ' ve won. In places the music was heavy, In places my words were a pun — So I sit with this consolation, That when the Maker has his say He ' ll judge all fair and equal, And the others, too, will pay. Little hatchet face Allbritten goes to the yell leader tryouts and struts his stuff, and everybody wished him well ' cause they thought it would be his demise as yell leader. But that was not the half of it. He tells the Executive Committee that he will be the Rah, Rah boy again next year, in fact he did his own nominating, campaigning and voting act. Didn ' t even leave the room for the committee to ballot as they saw fit. From the jolt that guy got last vear it looks like he ' d get to outa this place, ' cause as J. Y. says, or as he would say it, Hatchet Face doesn ' t rate. During the Easter Holidays I noticed that Miss Kirk is still going strong. Boy, if she was any better in her younger days than she is now, she was a whiz. She had Sr. Durantes dedicate to her an Obligato, Mr. Dozier directing traffic in the parlors, Prof. Davidson giving his away-from-home smile, and Dr. Tinsley policing the dining hall. That ' s all I saw. I wish I had that much Come hither in my eye; I ' d get over too. Boy, if this Marianna Murphy ain ' t a vamp, I ' ve never seen one. What she ain ' t got she don ' t need, and if vou don ' t believe it, look at results. On one date she came in with the pin of a proud Kappa Sigma; soon that was over and she took out one of the little Pi K A Freshmen (Stevenson); that lasted till Thomas, down to de K.A. house got ' er, and then she decided a freshman couldn ' t blow in her ear anymore, so Steve got ditched and at this writing Thomas is high man. When Thomas gets through with her, she is readv to eat breakfast at the Alcove. Talk about vour social downfalls; well, look at the one Watts and Tolleson got. In the fall thev went over big, and bragged about it. Thought they ' d keep a note book on the boys, give them a behaviouristic rating. Well, that got out and some of the bovs put together a few notations, and soon they had crumbed themselves. The policy of this section is for more and thicker buttered toast at the little store for less money. The Barbs pulled a good one on themselves this vear in the student elections. Thev decided to put up Walter Pyle for a job on one of the papers next year. Well, they had to have someone to run against him, so they nominated Red Banks. There is where they made their mistake, ' cause Red darn nigh ran off with the race, and the big Barb Bosses had to get high behind to put their man over by a narrow margin. Barney Guggo ' z may be the manager of this book, but that doesn ' t keep me from having you ask him about a certain trip he made to San Marcos. You looked bad on that one, Barney. Hall and Lindell, the cocks of the walk in the Speech Arts Department; well, they kinda got it poured on ' em when they tangled up with them Arkansaw boys. They just refused to be Lord Windemere ' ed that ' s all. Sometimes you hear about close horse races; well, how about the way White and Elliott are coining down the home stretch in the Education Derby? If that ' s not a neck- to-neck finish, I don ' t believe you will ever see one. They are both Seniors. Avres Compton has certainlv got a distaste for A. M. I think it ' s because Mc- Donald ' s best boy friend is an Aggie. Read this and hear that B ' g Bounding Ding Dong Bell failed to get over with his hard-boiled act on the Night Cop. He had to leave a sandwich setin ' on the counter of Edwards and take a walk around to the jail, but before he let ' em lock the door he paid off the $12.70. Laundry went up the next day. The night of February 4th, Mrs. Bridgers had a Hawkshaw call to the kitchen. She tried locking the pajama-clad gals in, but the back door was open and they got out. Out- side they nearly froze, but they had some clothes thrown down, and finally managed to climb the water pipe to the top of the Fine Arts Building. They all made it but Kitty, and they darn nearly missed gettin ' her up. For your information, Miss Kirk, they were Aletha Gardner, Marye Wynne, Kitty Brooks, and Carrie Wade. Lois Thornton and Chief Ballew — Chief must ' a talked, Fve noticed Jack Whitworth trying to get over, too. A Story in Vers Libre — Bill Dickson at Church Oh, this terrible cough. (Exit) Nellie Gone to the rescue; A lonely spot, at ease and at each other. Do you remember the day Doc Tinsley told the joke in chapel about this day of fast steppin ' Grandmas? Well, The Choker noticed all the girls stare straight ahead while Army Armstrong, John Rowntree, Freshman Monk and Unk Young almost went into convulsions. BARBS: This is beyond a doubt the strongest fraternity on the campus, and the beauty part about it is that it is co-educational. When they want to, it ' s a simp ' e matter to hold a caucus and get over anything. Up at the Annex it is thoroughly put in the heads of all freshmen possible that it is disgraceful to be seen in a frat house, then down to Mood Hall about the same thing is taught. All this, you understand, comes from the Big Bosses, and I don ' t know exactly who they are but White, Two Jacksons, Graves, Gates, Lehmberg and Brannen would not be a bad guess. The effects of leadership like that is nothing short of hazardous to the fraternities.
