The Pan-Hellenic sponsors a smoker for fraternity men once a year and also inter-fraternity athletics which enable the different groups to become better acquainted and to promote a better understanding between the various groups. The Pan-Hellenic regulates the rushing of freshmen at the beginning of school and issues date cards for the benefit of all concerned. The Pan-Hellenic has discussions from time to time with the Administration and with the traveling secretaries of the various chapters which enable them to get a few ideas which the faculty have and also some ideas from the chapters other than at Southwestern. j ou ' tocstcr AVRIETT Harms Browning Cavitt Raetzsch Flinn Stone Musis WOMEN ' S PANHELLENIC COUNCIL The Women ' s Pan-Hellenic council which is composed of two representatives from each of the four sororities on the campus, Delta Delta Delta.

The Council sponsors during the year a Pan-Hellenic tea for all the women of the University. This year the council with the aid of each of the sororities, has been influential in getting a number of prominent women as speakers on the campus. jSou ' toestcr BRIEF HISTORY OF FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES Southwestern University, which recently celebrated its fifty-seventh anniversary, is the suc- cessor of four other institutions of Learning founded at various times by the Methodist Church of Texas — Ruterville College, McKenzie College, Wesleyan College, and Soule University. In 1874 Rev. Francis A. Mood obtained a charter for Southwestern University which was located in Georgetown. Dr. Mood is called the founder of Southwestern for which he served faithfully until his death in 1884. On the Campus of the thriving little school different organizations began to exist and among them were the Fraternities and Sororities. The first of these was the Xi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Fraternity which was founded in Southwestern University on November 28, 1883, with six Charter Members. R. C. Porter, W. C. McKaney, T. L. Crow, W. E. Hawkins, E. W. Martin and E. Embree, Jr. Several years later the Texas Gamma Chapter of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity was founded. On March 12, 1886 A. R. Johns, R. L. Penn, M. K. Pateman, A. J. Perkins, W. H. Anderson, J. R. Hawkins, Ab onn Holt, J. E. Quarles, J. H. Williams, R. S. Carter and S. J. Thomas were granted the Charter. On October 12, 1886 Iverson B. Love, Jessie C. Baker, Jasper B. Gibbs and John Stanley Moss were granted the Charter for the Iota Chapter of Kappa Sigma which is the twenty-first Chapter in American Kappa Sigmas. On November 12, 1910 Alpha Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha was granted a charter by the Supreme Council of the Fraternity. The charter members were: A. D. Voight, Samuel A. Grogan, C. M. Singleton, J. M. McGuire, M. T. Waggoner, G. D. Chapman, and O. O. Mickle. The Fraternities had been progressing rapidly but not until 1906 were the Sororities more than secret lodges and local organizations. Among the first of these was Lamda Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha which was granted its charter on May 13, 1906. The Charter members were: Elizabeth Hardy, Bess Whittle, Allie Barcus, Pauline Clark, Jean Whittle, Louise Gibson, Bosina Nelson, Rannie Collier, Myrtice Nelms. Lola Branson, Blossom Pittman, Irene Gammill, Edith Branson, Hazel Whittle, Katherine Fiser, Sunshine Dickerson, Bess Bailey, Lena Mae Nelms, Ena Dent, and Clara Wellborn. The Zeta Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi was not granted its charter until February 1907, although this organization was the first on Southwestern Campus. Mary Mann, Madge Cooper, Gladys Graves, Early Price, Gladys Snyder, Martha Sanders, Nannie B. Clamp, Mabel Taylor, Gene Daughtrey, Louise Bedford and Catherine Chessleer were the charter members. The local Xi Kappa was organized in Southwestern in 1906 but was not chartered until May 1, 1908 as the Xi Kappa Chapter of Phi Mu. Thirteen girls were initiated as charter members: Annie Bankright, Mary Inez Coon, Ola Niece, Minnie Lee Taulman, Mabel Grace Daughterly, Mary Elizabeth Hanover, Jessie Sessions, Katherine Howard, Alline Terrell Smith, Jimmie Smyth, Bertha McKee, Eula Mae Rollins, and Julia Mangum. The last of the four Sororities that are now on the campus to receive their charter was Theta Epsilon Chapter of Delta Delta Delta. The Charter was granted September 5, 1911 and among the charier members were: Madge Hendry, Ann Carter, Ella Sedberry, Bess Crutchfield, Sadie Hudson, Hazel Barnes, Cornelia Hightowner, Lucy May Agnew, Hallie Louise Crutchfield, Pauline Swafford, Kit tie Cain, Norma Smith, Katherine Mitchell, Gladys Lockett, Mary Kath- leen Rose, Edna Maud Brown and Mary Wills. Both the Fraternities and Sororities have been progressing throughout the years and at the present all have a splendid standing. jSou ' tocstcr o -j fisiG.s LL-t we ), W( efr KftLL - 1 1  v(v « H p ' fev-j .

SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY TROPHIES ' Red Boothe Although there has never been a trophy case in the truest sense of the word at Southwestern, we are some- times in the habit of calling the collection of trophies that have come to us a part of the trophy case. Among the trophies that are to be found in the pos- session is the T. I. A. A. Football Championship for 1925, and the Texas Conference Football Champion- ship for 1927, the year they celebrated their last meet- ing with Baylor University with a 19-6 win. Then we look farther and see the many shields that they have won for the mile relay in their conference. We see that they have two shields that were captured in the T.I. A. A. when it was considered impossible to beat Southwestern in the Conference mile relay in 1924 and ' 25. Then we see that they entered the Texas Conference in 1926 and continued their wins in the re- lay. They won the shield in 1926, but in 1927 did not send a relay team to the meet, and that is the only con- ference relay that they have failed to win from 1924 up to the present time. Altogether the Pirates tracksters have gathered together six trophies that stand for supremacy in the mile relay. Sharing a part of the space taken up by the collection of footballs with the score of memorable games written on them. In recent years there has been adopted on the campus the practice of giving loving cups for certain campus sports. ;Sou ' toc8txr INTRA-MURAL ATHLETICS The school year of 1930-31 was a banner year in the history of intra -mural sports on Southwestern Campus. For the past few years this type of athletics has been more or less dead and little enthusiasm has been manifested bv the students but not so this year, for the students got right in behind Physical Director R. J. Cap ' Kidd from the start and class rivalry has been rife ever since. Under the able supervision of Kidd, who was assisted by Beatty Oldham, the class teams were organized and each team had representatives in all sports including football, basketball and baseball. Using touch football as an able substitute for the gridiron game, the Freshmen squad, captained by Victor Collins, proved far superior to the other contestants and managed to come through the season without a loss. Only the Sophomores were able to cope with the fast passing attack displayed by the Fish. They received as their reward a beautiful silver loving cup that will adorn Southwestern trophy case as a fond remembrance of one of Southwestern greatest Freshmen ' s Squads. The next thing on the intra-mural program was basketball. Four teams were represented in this league, those being captained by Bill Murray, Tate Parker, Red Taylor and Frank Driskill. Competition was keen throughout the entire season. At the season ' s close Murray Snipers were proclaimed champions. This bunch of lads had gone through the entire schedule without a single defeat, while each of the other three teams were hot on their trail. Last year Taylor ' s team was victorious in this event. Many of these games were well attended and prospects are brilliant for an even more successful season next year. At the time the Annual goes to press the intra-mural baseball season is half over and it looks as if the Freshmen will again be victorious as they have gone through the entire first half without a single defeat, although the Juniors are on their heels and bid fair to overtake the Fish in the second half. The Freshmen team is captained by Hoss Ross, burly catcher. If one of the other teams do over- take the Fish in the last half, a Southwestern World Series will be held to decide the championship. All in all, the intra-mural season has been one of great success and will probably continue to do so in the years to come. ;gou ' tocstcr £ • )«, N FOOTBALL WILLIAMS, CAPT. SEAMANS G. SMITH A.

Edens possessed a wealth of ma- terial from the freshman class plus nine lettermen from the varsity of the preceding year. The injury to Captain Hess Williams earlv in the season was a great hindrance to Coach Edens in rounding his charges into Championship calibre. Williams injury also threw the entire generalship into tbe able hands of Vance Seamans, star quar- terback. An oddity of the season was the Pirates four games that ended in a dead- lock and three other conference victories won by the scant margin of one point. The Corsairs greatest win was their 20 to 19 victory over the strong Saint Edwards Saints while their championship game against Howard Payne on Thanksgiving Day found the boys badly off form. At the close of the season Captain pro-tem Vance Seamans and Johnny Scrap Iron Mercer were named on the official All-Confer- ence eleven while on the second string, George Smith and Dave Williams were given places. All in all the season was considered one of success from every angle, the boys taking second place in the conference chase after being picked to fight it out for the cellar position. jSou ' tocstcr JOHNSON FOEBSTEB LUNSFOBD D. WILLIAMS RICE 32— SOUTHWESTERN 6 Opening of the season on September 20th found the Pirates in great form but un- able to cope with the splendid aggregation boasted of by Rice Institute. Playing on Rice Field, the Pirates found themselves on the short end of a 32-6 score, however little Chatter Allen and Big Boy Geiscke were constant threats to the feath- ered Owls. Curtis Gunn, freshman back scored the lone touchdown for the Pirates on a pass from Seamans, but on the next play received a leg injury that laid him on the side lines for the remainder of the season. Prospects for the Corsairs looked un- usually bright for the coming season. TEXAS A M 43— SOUTHWESTERN The following week Captain Hess Williams and his mates journeyed to Aggieland only to be swamped by a powerful crew of Coach Matty Bell ' s Aggies. The Cadets displayed a great offense that completely bewildered the lighter bunch of Pirates. Geiscke ' s withdrawal from school and Smitty Smith ' s back injury proved stumbling blocks for Eden ' s charges. Chatter Allen, George Smith and Red Lawerence were the shining lights for the Canary and Black. This severe drubbing failed to dampen the spirits of the Pirates and they were commended highly upon their ability to take it against such overwhelming odds. jSoo ' toester TEXAS A I 0— SOUTHWESTERN Opening the 1930 home season under the newly installed lights of Snyder Field, the Pirates were forced to play the Arts and Industry eleven to a scoreless tie. This crew of Kingsvilleites put up a stubborn fight the entire route and refused to let a superior squad of Southwestern hall toters cross their line. George Smith on the of- fensive backed by Cecil Pennington, who played a whale of a defensive game, were the outstanding men for the Pirates, but the injury to Captain Hess Williams in this game laid him in the hospital for many weeks as well as placed a large hole in our left side of the line. ST. EDWARDS 19— SOUTHWESTERN 20 The opening of the Texas Conference found the Pirates in great shape and they banded the strong Saint Edwards aggregation from Austin a 20-19 drubbing under the lights of Snyder field. This newly inaugurated night football has taken well in this part of Central Texas and has been a tremendous drawing card for the numer- ous spectators and followers of Southwestern. Chatter Allen and Jim McClure went great for the Pirates in this game while Smith, Mercer, Seamans and Foersteralso played bang up ball for the victors. This was, no doubt, the greatest victory scored by the Pirates during the Conference campaign. jSou ' tocstcr LAWHKV i; S.W.T.T.C. 13— SOUTHWESTERN The Pirates ran into a determined crew of Southwest Texas Teachers College Bobcats when they engaged this bunch of scrappers at San Marcos. Though rated to defeat the cats by some thirteen or more points, the Corsairs found the tables re- versed and came home on the short end of the score. Throughout the entire game the Bobcats played far above their heads by putting up a stubborn defense plus pow- er in the offense. Meanwhile the Pirates had assumed a superior attitude and awoke to the business at hand onlv after it was too late. Probably the only outstanding man in the Pirates ' 1 line-up was Jim McClure, a scrapping end, though every man in a Pirate uniform saw service in the fray. SIMMONS 0— SOUTHWESTERN Finding themselves badly outweighed from the start by the strong Simmons University Cowboys from Abilene, the Pirates put up one of their stiffest defensive battles of the season to hold the Cowhands to a scoreless tie. Edens ' men had little chance to display any of their offense against their bigger rivals. The backbone of the Pirate defense lay in the superb exhibition displayed by Cecil Pennington, Hoss Ross, Cordilly May and Johnny Mercer, these lads put up a stubborn fight throughout the entire route to withstand the attacks thrust at our line by the classy Cowboys. ; ou ' tocster DENTON TEACHERS 13— SOUTHWESTERN 13 Catching the Pirates again on one of their off nights an inferior squad of Denton Teachers were ahle to hold the Pirates to a tie. Throughout the game it was evident of the superiority of the Corsairs but they failed to get going and were forced to suffer the consequences. With the possible exception of George Smith, powerful Canary and Black fullback, and Ollie Laird, guard, the entire team suffered a let down from the previous week. Thus far the Pirates seemed to let up on all their non -conference games and tighten down on those that counted in their standing. AUSTIN COLLEGE 12— SOUTHWESTERN 13 By virtue of placing eleven men on the field that refused to admit defeat, the Pi- rates were able to gain a great 13 to 12 victory over the outstanding Austin College Kangaroo aggregation of Sherman. The game was packed with numerous thrills and an excited bunch of Pirate cohorts yelled throughout for the boys to give them a win. A vast improvement was seen in the team over the previous weeks game. This scrapping bunch of Canary and Black warriors were led by the sterling per- formances of Vic Foerster, Mercer, Seamans and George Smith, while every man that saw service in the tilt gave their best to bring us a victory. jgou ' tocstcr WEAVER TRINITY 6— SOUTHWESTERN 7 The age old adage held true the following week when the Pirates encountered the Trinity University Tigers at Waxahachie, that adage, that the best team always wins, was a rather hard one, for the Pirates had a scrap on their hand all of the way trying to convince the Tigers of the fact. Efforts were made to take the student body on a special train but this plan fell through for lack of funds. However the boys came through with a great 7 to 6 victory. Vance Seamans, Johnson, Daddy Weir and Claudie Lunsford turned in outstanding exhibitions for the Corsairs. McMURRAY 0— SOUTHWESTERN The following week found the Pirates engaging the great aggregation of Indians from McMurray College at Abilene. Before game time a strong 45 mile gale blew up across the prairie and the Pirates found themselves playing under conditions to which they were not accustomed. This storm rendered the Pirate passing attack help- less and without this means of an offense the Corsairs found themselves utterly at a loss. Unable to make gains through the Indian line, they were forced to another tie game. This also was a non-conference tilt and left the Pirates still in a tie with Howard Payne for the Conference Championship. j ou ' toester ( . I MUM s HOWARD PAYNE 59— SOUTHWESTERN With spirits high in anticipation over another chance to annex a Texas Conference Title, the Southwestern Pirates journeyed to Brownwood on Thanksgiving Day to engage the great Howard Payne Yellow Jackets on their home field. Evidently the Jackets maintained some of the same ideas about who should he champions for they displayed one of the most superb exhibitions of football seen in the Texas conference in many years. With Nig McCarver as their king-pin the Jackets out -passed, out- punted and generally out-played the Pirates in every department of the game. The Jackets held the whip hand over the lighter and less experienced Pirates throughout the entire game and seldom gave the Pirates an outside chance to show any of their stuff. Though played on Thanksgiving Day it left little for the Pirates to be thankful of, for it blasted their hopes for a championship. Every man in a Pirate uniform saw service in the tilt, and every man tried his best to give us a win. but his best was far from good enough and few men could be classed as outstanding for the Corsairs. jgou ' tocstcr INTER-FRATERNITY ATHLETICS As has been the eustom for the past number of years, the different fraternities on the campus have organized teams to represent them in their annual athletic league. Much interest has been shown throughout the entire year by the groups in this line of endeavor. The football championship was awarded to the Kappa Sigmas due to their 19 to victory over the Phi Delta Thetas. This game represented the only two teams to compete on the campus and was played on Snyder Field before a large and enthusiastic crowd. Inter -fraternity basketball was next on the program and this went to the Pi Kappa Alpha squad captained by Frank Driskill. They went through the season without having a defeat registered on their side of the score board. They were given close competition throughout the season by the Kappa Alphas. Each fra- ternity played the other two games apiece. Though they won the preceding year, the Kappa Sigmas failed to place a winning aggregation on the floor as did the Phi Delta Thetas. though both teams gave the leader strong opposition in every game. Baseball is now holding sway but as yet is incomplete, though the Kappa Alphas are in the van by virtue of their wins over the Pi Kappa Alphas and the Phi Delta Thetas and only one more game to play. If they are victorious over the Kappa Sigmas they will have cinched the bunting, which is symbolic of the championship. The Pi Kappa Alphas were conceded the victor before the season got under way but were upset by the K.A. group. The Kappa Sigmas and the Phi Delta Thetas had strong teams but were unable to gain a decision over the leaders. Other inter-fraternity sports that are on the calendar for the remainder of the year are tennis, golf and track. Prognostications are at present that the Kappa Sigmas will grab the tennis title while the Phi Delts annex the golf and the track is a toss up between all four fraternities. A great deal of interest has been manifested throughout the entire season and it would be little surprising if next year was not an even greater year for fraternity athletics. ou ' tticstcr .T2 ««-H N BASKETBALL Seamans Whittl G. Smith Williams For the past ten years the Southwestern University Pirate basketball team has placed eilher first or second in the conference ranking. This year under the excellent coaching of Coach Lefty Edens and the capable leadership of Captain Vance Seamans the black and canary warriors placed second. The only team that was able to defeat the Pirates was the Simmons Cowboys from Simmons University. The team defeated the Pirates first at Abilene, the stronghold of the Cowboys. The score was 27-25. This was one of the most exciting games ever played in bilene. The Pirates led the Cowboys until the last few seconds when Bob McCullum broke loose for the Cowboys and won the game. This too was the first defeat the Pirates received in conference competition. To start the season the Pirates defeated Austin Athletic Club two games. Then the V. M. boys came here for a two game series. The Pirates defeated them 2K-2 1 the first game in a two extra period game. This game was very ex?iting and showed the Pirate rooters what kind of a team we really had. The next game was won by the A. M. boys 28-22. T hen the Pirates dropped two games to the San M ar:os Bobcats. One here and one there. Each game was close and well played. Then Trinity and Austin College fell at the point of the sword held by the Pirates. Each game was won by a decisive score. Next the Pirates lost to Simmons 27-25 and the next night the Pirates gained revenge from the severe beating they received in football when they defeated the Howard Payne Yellowjackets. Next to fall victim of the Pirate sword was St. Edwards, Austin College, Trinity, Howard Payne, and St. Eds again. In all these games the Pirate defense was superb and the offense excellent. Each was won by a decisive score. The last game was the one to decide the championship. If the Pirates won they would lie for first place, if they lost they would get second place. The game was very exciting. The gym was crowded and every- one was very enthusiastic. When the gun sounded the score was 37-20 in favor of the Cowboys. The star of the game was Bob McCullum who scored 20 points. The game placed the Pirates in second place and gave the Cowboys the undisputed championship of the Texas Conference. Even though we did not win first place in the Conference much credit is due the 12 boys who worked faithfully every day in order to be able to have a strong team on the floor. Too much praise cannot be given these men for their hard work, sportsmanship, loyalty, and excellent playing. jgou ' tocstcr Keyser At the start of the season the old letter men elected Vance Seamans as their captain. This position Vance capably filled. He was an excellent leader, fine sportsman, good player and hard fighter. We could always depend on Vance to give his best for his school and for his team. When his team was on the small end of the score, Vance immediately began to start the sword swinging and it wasn ' t long before the Pirates had command of the ship. This was the third letter Vance earned in basketball and we are sorry to say that he finishes. Vance will always be remembered as captain and star forward on the 1931 S. U. basketball team. Vance also made all conference forward. Next is Slim Whittle, the boy who could always be depended on to gather his share of points. Slim made all conference center for the 3rd straight year. As a center Slim did not have an equal. He always got the tip off a majority of the time. When he did get the tip off it was almost a sure two points because George and Vance immediately started the fire works. Slim is a good sport and a good basketball player. Much praise should be given to Slim. We are indeed sorry to say that Slim has finished his basketball career. His shoes will be hard to fill next year. We will always remember him as a good player and good sport and a gentleman. George Smith the other one of the scoring twins. George played forward with Vance. These two were called the scoring twins. This title was well placed because these two boys always added their part to the score. George was a good defensive and offensive man. He worked well with Vance and often times this combination meant defeat to the opposing team. Hess Williams the boy who lettered three years. The first as a forward, the next as a center and this year as a guard. This shows that Hess knew his basketball. It took Hess a good while to get accustomed to the guard position but once he did he filled the position well. Hess has played his last fame for us and we will miss his good playing on next year ' s team. Hess added a few points to the scoring column but not many but it was hard for a visiting man to make many when Hess was around and he wa always there when he was needed. jSou ' tocstcr IBftfl Weaver A. Smith Weih A new man on the Pirate team was Red Taylor. Red came to us from Lon Morris. He played for- ward in Lon Morris but Coach Edens shifted him to guard at the beginning of the season. This was a wise choice because Red proved to be a valuable man. He could make points, cover the court and was an ex- cellent guard. Red made the scond team all conference team which is a good record. He could be de- pended on to give all he had for his school and learn. He never quit trying. We are indeed happy to say that Red has another year and he will help the strength of next year ' s team a great deal. A freshman who lettered was Alva Raker all slate forward from Reagan Hi, Houston. Raker has a good eye for the basket and was a good floor man. He displayed real basketball ability. Raker has three more years of basketball and we are expecting him lo develop into one of the best players in the conference. Smith, better known as Smitty, added his second letter this year. He played in nearly all the games and could always be depended on to hold his own with the best. Smitty is a good basketball player and a good sport. We are sorry to say that he has completed his basketball career at S. U. We will miss him on next year ' s team a great deal. Even though Harley McDaniel didn ' t come to school until after the squad had been working out for a good while he proved to be a good enough player to letter and in order to letter one had to be good. Mc is a man who could be depended on to do his best and his best was good. Mc has one more year with us and we are glad indeed. His play will strengthen the team next year considerably. Weaver, a boy who worked hard all year but failed to letter, is a good player and he will be back next year and if someone don ' t watch out Weaver will make a letter because he has the stuff to do it with. Duddy even tho he did not letter he played in a good many games. Next year he will be back and will strengthen the team. Rurgin Dunn also failed to letter but it was not because he did not work. He worked hard and next year he will be back again working and we expect him to win a letter because he is really a good player. Keyser who reported for the first time for the squad made a good showing. He will be back next year and his presence will strengthen the team. Ml the 12 men really showed that they could play basketball and first class too. Each man is to be complimented on his fine playing. We are indeed proud of you individually and collectively 1931 basketball team. jSou ' tocstcr E . K_vi WW TRACK WILLIAMS The 1930 Pirate Track squad under the capable coaching of Coach R. J. Kidd and the fine leadership of C. D. Fulkes, made an impressive record. Although the team as a whole did not win many meets the performance of individual stars was very unusual. The records made by the one mile relay team composed of Thomas, Story, McDaniels and Fulkes will always be remembered bv the students of Southwestern and also the boys from other schools who ran against this team. The relay team without a doubt was the strongest unit in the Pirate track squad. Their first competition was in the Texas Relays. In that meet our boys ran the re- lay in 3:32. This was exceptionally good since it was very early in the season. Here and at the invitation meet in Austin were the only times the team was defeated. In all the meets with other schools the relay team was never pushed to the limit. The only close race they had was with Sam Houston. Here the boys all displayed fine form in running the mile in 3:28. Then came the conference meet. In this meet the Pirates as a whole scored only a few points but the relay team stepped out to break the conference. The old record was 3:32 held bv a previous Pirate team. The new record, which our team set is 3:27. This shows how strong the team really was. Each man gained on their opponent and when the finish came Fulkes was ahead 10 yards. The foremost personal of our team is C. D. Fulkes. C. D. Fulkes, the boy from Round Rock. He lettered two years in Lon Morris then came to Southwestern. The first year here he lettered. Then at the close of his first year here his team mates conferred upon him the greatest honor which is possible to be placed upon a track man. That honor was to lead the 1930 track team through a successful season. Captain Fulkes ran the hundred yard dash, threw the javelin, and was anchor man on the relay team. We could always depend on C. D. to carry the canary and black warriors on to victory. Besides being a good track man Fulkes possessed all the qualities necessary to be captain of an athletic team. He was ca- jSou ' tocstcr MCDANIK1.S KIIHHSI I It GIESECKE pable, efficient, a good sport and a gentleman. He will always be remembered by us who knew him. In the weight department, Coach Kidd had the dependable Alton Smith. Smitty, a letter man from previous years always gives his best to the team. We could always depend upon Smitty to gain his share of points in any meet. He always won first or second in the shot put or the discus. In the conference meet he showed up exceptionally well. We are indeed glad to say that Smitty will be back with us again next year. He improved with every meet and if he im- proves next year we are sure he will win first places in the conference meet. Hester Williams, a natural born athlete, was the one who did all the timber topping for our squad. In the Sam Houston meet he came in far ahead of the field to win first place. In every meet Hess was able to hold his own. He always made the opposing men put out all they had in order to defeat him. Hess still has another year of track and we all know he will do all he can toward making the 1931 team a success. McDaniels, a two year man, ran the third lap in the relay. When Mc received the baton from Story he always increased the lead or held his own. Mc is a good 440 man and always contributed his part in making the team one of the best Southwestern has ever had. Mc will always be remembered because of his cheerful smile. He will help make the relay team next year another record breaking machine. Forester, the German from Castell is the boy who upheld the Pirate squad in the distances. Although Vic did not win any first places, he always managed to give the opposing men a great race. Short, sturdy, and steady were the qualities which made him a valuable man to the 1930 track team. Vic will also be back next year to strengthen the team. Giesecke, the boy who came to the team from Angleton, where he tied for first place in the pole vault at the high school state meet, won most of his contests with other schools. Giesecke won the name Singing Fool because of his cheerful at- titude. He always made the opposing men know he was around because of his jSou ' toter singing, vaulting, etc. The only trouble he had was finding a vaulting pole that was large enough. Giesecke has three more years with the squad. Jim McClure, a good 880 man failed to letter not because he did not try. but because competition was too keen in that field. He worked very hard all year and ran in every meet but failed to place. Jim of course will be back with us next year giving all he has for a letter and to make the squad a success. Jesse Thomas, the lead off man in the relay, was the man who started the team on its record breaking journeys. Jesse always managed to give his team mates a good lead once the team got the lead the opposing teams were out of the running. Jesse finished and graduated and his absence will be felt very much by other mem- bers of the relay teams. Besides running in the relay, Jesse also ran the 440. In this he always gave his best. Glenn Story, a freshman who strengthened the relay team very much. He was the only new man on the relay team. He ran the second lap and always gave us a good lead. Even though a freshman he will always be remembered because of his fine sportsmanship and running ability. We are indeed glad to say that Story will be with us three more years and before he finishes he should develop into one of the best 440 men in the conference. May, the boy who gave Smitty ,, all the competition he wanted, lettered in the weight also. May always pushed his opponents to the limit in order to win. May will be the one who will have to take Smitty ' s place. In one meet he defeated Smitty. This shows that May is a first class weight man. Ellsworth Brooks the tall boy from Bellville was the man who did the high jumping. He was able to hold his own with the best men in the conference. He won points in every meet. Brooks will be with the squad three more years and if nothing happens he will develop into one of the best high jumpers in the conference. AH things taken into consideration we are indeed proud of our track team. With the proper emphasis on track teams by the University student body and Adminis- tration, Southwestern should become one of the leading schools of the conference in this sport. jSou ' toeBter ..Ouilive-r ' sjravels III. through Southwestern- 1931 The Choker Editor hereby Dedicates the 1931 Choker to Mr. CLAUDIO HOWARD and ' WINDY ' WILLIAMS j oiTtocstcr The official 1931 Baseball Club, composed of Biological Impossibilities is as follows: Fontaine Erskine Short Stop Lucy Bowles First Base Frank Driskill Pitcher, Captain, Coach Sole Owner, and Manager Ding Dong Bell Catcher Allison Second Base Polly W acker Third Base Ollie Laird Left Field Wailes Gray Right Field Bill Smith Center Field Utility Annie Marie Doering Margaret Sneed Marie Berger dorthy cavitt Clovis Cox Laura Curry Sponsor Georgie V. Bridgers jSou ' tocstcr PHILADELPHIA THEATRE Those boys who live down by the railroad track behind the athletic field enjoying the privacy of the closed thorofare have really lived a life of unobserved but wild pursuit of administration to extremely inflamed bronchial tubes most of the year. Apparently the lime house didn ' t lose its enchantment when it was padlocked, led by Dugy, the boys financed many trips to New Braunfels, Austin and other points north and south. To start the year under the leadership of the invincible Tom Cat Sharp, they pledge a veritable horde seeking to find quality. After the severe bump of the Pi K.A. ' s and the more or less steam roller of the Kappa Sig they assumed the title given the Pi. K.A. ' s last year. Butcher Buss more or less tired of the wild life of his three previous years decided to settle down so who should be called to his side but Miss Rives. Buss goes the way of Fred Sterling. Only Buss had more of a background. The invincible pair of Ding Dong and Sharp kept the campus guessing as to what would be the results of their combination. The result was Miss Southwestern. P. G. Secrest and Billv Stump made a very happy combination one promoting the Scholarship end and the other retaining the Boy Scout attitude. Diz Oatman playing true to form acting unconscious was the main drawback of the whole crowd. With the pack of pledges after being drilled very thoroughly in all the arts of their brothers stepped out demonstrating their ideals namely to remove the pos- sibilities of a barb organization. The Phis need to be complimented on not having any little brothers this year however this Bone came from Gatesville which for all practical purposes is the same as a little brother. Seems as though Brother Ding Dong took to heart the suggestion that it was ad- visable to hide him during rush week and he stayed prettv shy in order to give the Phis a better chance. This Napper, the boy with the 95 plus average, seems to have fallen down in his scholarship since he pledged a fraternity. We have always heard that this would happen now I guess we must believe it. We have not figured out why the K.A. ' s could not find any thing in Dave Williams. The Phis seem to think the K.A. ' s can do wrong. j QiTtoestcr KAPPA SWIGMA These boys who inhabit the barn located diagonally from the president ' s office under the able leadership of the invincible Bill. And with the throwback of Duncan Whiteside have managed to weather the year fairlv well. Between the times of Polly Wacher ' s medical treatment for his inflamed bronchial tube and Murff Bled- soe ' s strict observance of his code of being cold sober, they have managed to live more or less a life of co-operation with the Administration. Their main-stays, Kurth and Strauss have managed to keep up the chapter ' s combination with Zeta Tau Alpha. The only one that amounts to anything from the bunch is this boy Grav who because of an inferiority complex has never tried his w ings. Maybe after the degrading opportunity of yell leader, we will have a different story. This Price Boy, the pride of Georgetown, seems to have the possibilities of another Whiteside. We hope not. Now this invincible Todd who is also noncomparable, he can save $24.95 out of his monthly allowance which is $25 per month continually living off of his brother ' s cigarettes and what nots. J. H. Porter. Fontaine Erskine, Ransom Buchholz and Harry Moore can hardly be ignored but certainly do not deserve any comment, however Gordon Noble and J. W. Hooker and Robert Purl and one half of the Van Dressars, seem to have earned comment but we do not care to waste anything on them. PI K.A. Under the able leadership of the four letter man Frank Driskill. the Pi K.A. ' s composed of Buck Langford. Bunny Cook. Clarence Wiggam, Bill Murray and Vance Seaman, started the year with almost nothing and had less than that when the year ended. Of course since the faculty neighbor that they were troubled with last year has not been around, their activities have been more or less subrosa. Of course they could not very well do much because of the very nature of things. In politics they managed to muster all their forces and get this Red Booth and Bill Murray elected thereby raising their existing conditions a little better. The Cooke Brothers have added much to their social standing. Of course Beatty Oldham could not help it because he is not totally responsible along with Con Thomas who jSou ' tocstcr has worked diligently to maintain the high standard that existed when he got there. Fred McKenzie has been too busy with outside interests to pay much atten- tion to anything on the inside. C. H. Gee and Rip Collins, the two little men, have been exceptionally nonexistent but Henry Price seems to have been very well pleased with the whole run of events. Taken as a whole this bunch who have been very fortunate because of their separation seem to have really gotten by with everything they have done. JAPPA ALPHAS (J.A. ' s) These boys who rent their house from Mrs. Wilson in the fall and wish they could find another one for the rest of the year are more or less nonentities this year. Of course they have their pride and joy Papa Cortes ' who does all the thinking for the outfit especially so since Homer King finished at the end of the winter term. He is the proud owner of their only automobile although he doesn ' t show it off, he is of good need. Paul Culwell their effervescing blushing, catch from Junior College has been too busy with outside interest to really deserve much consider- ation. The Triad Pennington, Allen and Lunsford have apparently had bad colds most of the year. At least judging from their actions after sundown. Outside of Duddy Weir, their contribution to the S Association all had bad colds. Of course this little Allen boy by being president of the S Association could do things and nobody think anything about it. This Terry-Turner combination which only existed very seldom is something to be commented on. Little Harris, because of being so much of the nonentity does not deserve much credit. Our dear friend and brother, Barcus, who is their contribution to the ministerial association because of his wonderful personality strength of character absolutely unquestionable integrity and unswerving loyalty to all his friends, cannot bear but the highest praise. Smiling Charlie Frederick, their only hold and main stay who is some relation to Scotty has managed to hoodwink and smile and scrape around and make that average to be included among ' em. Louie Oltorf and his cousin, Oltorf Holloway, have succeeded in keeping us all completely confused most of the time as to their identity. Because of inability we shall have to give them due credit. With their contributions of Bob Brent, Bill Smith, the latter having been to so jSou ' toter many schools so many years, we must mention them but do not care to elaborate or even please them with anything other than mention. In the past they have been political geniuses participating in every phase of pol- itics but this year there was an extremely bad shortage in materical and only Pudgy could hear the banner the God and the Ladies to victory. WOMEN ' S SECTION Because of the change of attitude of certain parties in college, we must be content with only a very general resume of our sweet co-eds ' organizations. To start out with this Tri Delta herd who insist that in numbers there is notoriety, we find sister Flinn as the head ramrod. Of course Miss Schoff in company with Miss Curry thoroly inspired the sisterly spirit must be commended because they cer- tainlv have a far reaching; ideal of their attitude towards their sisters. But shifting to the Zetas who between the fights of sister Young and little sister Pivito, have managed to run a very close second to the Tri Delta herd. Because of the number of town sisters their activities within the Woman ' s Building have been very quiet. The Phi Mus have displayed a remarkable capacity of influence over all of their members. Mama Avriett, by various and sundry methods, has been very successful more or less. Outside of losing most of their early promises to the Tri Delts and Alpha Delts they have played a very influential chord in the harmony of our dear family. But these Alpha Delts split asunder with two factions, one led by the ex- alted Miss Cavitt and the unchallenged Cox have certainly displayed a wonderful capacity to create much discord in the great symphony attempted by the happy family. It seems as though nothing could possibly be agreed upon unanimously. In the Y.W.C.A. led by Love, Stinson and James we have another sisterhood although not closely organized certainly functioning. Now the barbs: who constitute the major portion of the Epworth League Cabinet, Y.M.C.A. and Ministerial Association. Held together by that cattleman ' s delight — namely: barb wire seem to have not been able to function in one accord all the time but certainly have been able to get together around election time. Apparently the main function for their union is politics. They have contrihuted very limitedly to the happy family idea and bid to contribute less than that unless they by one means or another eject certain leaders such as Gibbons, Fox, Rumble, and Temple. jSou ' tocstcr The would be political party: The Gray aches, Bennett, Fox, (he doesn ' t count) Pittman and Doering seemed to have gotten hot in the collar about the article in the Sophomore Edition of the Megaphone, the edition of Mr. Red Boothe, con- cerning their members in the bond, preferable barb wire As the old Chinese adverb goes The truth will always hurt. While we are on the election we might recall the attempt of some of these outstanding ???? leaders (their own classification) to purchase an advertisement in the Megaphone. Thanks to the good fortune befalling the Choker Editor, he has been able to entertain vou folks with this extremelv interesting disclosure. Janie Marie Hill, that extremely beautiful but innocent ? Zeta, on Feb. 13, pre- vailed on Kirks sympathy and gained permission to see her sick mother. This is a new nomenclature for the engaging in the light and fantastic worship of the God of DANCE and association with the rough and uncouth collegiates who always have bad coughs and are attempting administration of the delightful but tabooed remedy. To get on with the story the brawl turned out to be a howling success with Miss Hill being under the able and talented management of this outstanding Kappa Sig Bill Barrett who volunteered his services as publicity manager. This Bucholz boy on the same night after being positive his cough was entirely taken care of led the orchestra during the wee small hours and returned to George- town to awake the following morning with a very bad headache and a baton. But since Doc Borden didn ' t make this social event the local police force were wall flowers the entire evening. In spite of the numberless speculations no one has offered a satisfactory expla- nation for the member of the Faculty ' s black eye which he humbly bore for two weeks. Possibly he ran into a door. On March the second or thereabouts it seems that Miss Gertrude Rowe when she was a house guest of the Kappa Alpha was very much interested in the appear- ance of the rooms other than the parlors and dining rooms. Allison what is your idea of so much Pi K.A. publicity? If you want a bid I believe the boys still have a few bushel baskets that possibly could be gleaned for a pledge button if you can convince them that you are desirable material. Anyone desirous of information pertaining to the cost of dates, including rent car bills, drinks, theater, and eats may inquire for Miss Patty Perkins. I might comment that this is one way of being entertained. j ou ' tocstcr Margaret Sneed seems to think that this Saturday night bath is just a fad par- ticipated in by moderns and since she is old fashion she doesn ' t apparently indulge- We recommend Life Buoy. We wonder just what was the cause of the beautiful and very tasty angel food cake having the appearance of the steam roller effect on the senior picnic. Of course our esteemed and highly regarded Jumbo and Belly would never even bear the faintest suspicion of ever being incapable of being absolute master of the situation at least both at once. We wonder further if Polly Wacker is so disillusioned that he is under the im- pression that he can bolster up his social standing by soliciting female week end guests for a blow out in Bartlett, not too many to be boresome but just enough to be interesting. For some reason this idea didn ' t go over so big. Old pard, have you ever tried Thyborine, Mi 31 Solution, or Lis ferine, possibly this is the secret of your failure. Was Peterman trying to carry out practices shown by Conrad Nagel in Free Love when he socked his lady love in the jaw in the Lobby or was he just serving as her sparring partner preparatory to the big fight with Miss Universe her own judgment in the little store. This Blossom Nalle the sixteen-year-old prodigy who upon entering this local institution pledged Phi Mu and for some unknown reason is now a bonafide mem- ber of the three triangle herd whose motto is ' Tn quantity we stand a chance to get Quality. Had a very good time over the Christinas holidays in the company of other town students doctoring coughs and other maladies especially lack of masculine company. Furniture tells tales. For the purpose of further enlightenment anyone may interrogate Moran McDaniels. Jenny Davis and John Barton Davis. Jack Cook that member of Alpha Omicron is sure a man who delights and attracts feminine companionship. Just another Cook all of whom think they are without a doubt the divines contribution to the opposite sex maybe this is the ex- planation of the phrase All Cooks are Pi K.A ' s. Because of the inability and impossibility of the Choker doing absolute just-ce to these formative preachers we hereby mention them but will refrain from ignoring them. Mary Kulm Browning, S. U. ' s only real sweet angelic co-ed who is unalterably and almost prejudicedly opposed to any of the modern practices enjoyed by our jSou ' tocstcr happy family, namely: smoking, , or pretending to have a cold and doc- toring said fake cold. Still thinks she can have a date with anyone and still talk the same kind of bass. We would like to know the main cause for Mary Emma Neyland and Patty Perkins frequent visits out of town. Is the ice cream good? Lois Thornton has at least got a man who has to look up to her. Ask Sam how it is done. Nan Holland has her beautiful bungalow already planned. We believe she says it is in Georgetown. Willie Lee Heath attempting to give the boys a break gave Jumbo a little house and apparently he tried to take a whole office building. Ask Frances Wherry, Ruth Martin, Mary Emma Neyland and Willie Lee Heath about that big fire they had last December on that real cold night. Cherrille DeBardeleben inaugurated a very old custom, namely of becoming attached very early in the year but apparently Hoss could not talk enough bass so Burgin out -basses him. Do you remember Seawillow Pipkin ' s and Ruth Martin ' s trip to the Dallas Fair? Of all the years Doc Borden has attended our local institution, he has hibernated every winter. Maybe there is some explanation. Possibly his brothers would prefer if he must play to play with some nice unharnessed playmate. Between Mrs. Wilson ' s eternal vigilance and the numerous uninvited alumni the K.A. ' s have had a hard time keeping in with the faculty and up with the Kappa Swigmas. What they would do without Papa Cortes ' dexterous diplomacy is beyond surmise. Murff Bledsoe, with that braggadocio air boasts that he is always cold sober. Perhaps it was the iron bars of a small cell of Round Rock that cooled him off a certain evening not over a year ago. For a long time the Pi K. A. ' s barn was uninhabited. Of course there is Wig but he can ' t count. But since the revival of the old custom patterned after the herd they are managing very well to inhabit the house. ;Sou ' toestcr Speaking of smokers, it ' s all a matter of pan-hellenic and faculty tastes, especially with the Zetas calling their affair in Austin a Formal Dinner. Even some of the most discriminating critics agree that Con Thomas showed great talent as an aesthetic dancer at the Pi K.A. Smoker. Swick evidently was unaware of the alarming fact that an honor council member roomed across the hall from Lib King. A hazardous risk, don ' t you think, Swick? Cecil Pennington flat has assumed some notoriety since his family moved to Austin. The Phi Mus pride and joy. little Nelle, apparently lost her appeal or maybe Phi pins have suffered a shortage. Maybe Buss could tell us why it is that Brother Kurth from Austin doesn ' t visit Texas Gamma any more? Brother Mac. apparently disregarded all rules of sane partying when he enter- tained the whole Woman ' s Building while his parents were away. How about San Antonio trip last fall of Wylie and Sellars. Bledsoe and Borden. Here ' s to Helen Woodson, our own candidate for Miss Southwestern be- cause she believes in impartiality and treatment of all boys alike. Is Dorbrandt a chump? We just wonder if Annie Dee Smith was the girl who got two black eves jumping rope. Loveless Love — Wailes Gray and Eunice James. The Alimony League — Sam Laird, Gill Dewitt and Ruth Leggett. Gertrude Rowe must not be all present judging with her association with Polly Wacker. Duggan Daniel who was nobody ' s big moment last year blossomed out this spring with a new car and lots of popularity. What is it Dugie, your cargo of corn? George Smith and Hess Williams may be rated good gang war promoters. jgou ' tocstcr Send your clothes to My Dad R. L.
