KjA O jA U O jA iJ s Bebtcatton When a man whose understanding is not con- fined — whose scholarship flows deep — forgets all for Christ, our faith founds itself upon the rock of his example. Our doubts diminish behind the strength of his word. Dr. Herbert Lee Gray has lived for Christ. He has testified for Him as a missionary in China and in Mexico. Since 1910, he has been a member of the Faculty of this school. He n ow holds the chair at the head of the Department of Religion and Philosophy. One sifting in his class can easily put himself in the place of those who sat at the feet of Samuel; before him you feel you are listening to God ' s messenger. Because of Gratitude the student feels for the teacher, we, the staff of the thirty-sixth Sou ' Wester, lovingly dedicate this book to him. 3fn jWemortam (gloria Hatnfeer Yet in these ears, till hearing dies, One set slow bell will seem to toll The passing of the sweetest soul That ever look ' d with human eyes.

President of Southwestern University This is the first year of Southwestern ' s second century as Texas ' oldest institution of higher education. Forward steps have been taken. The beautiful new stone Library and Gymnasium help in rendering finer service. Southwestern ' ' s future was never brighter nor has a happier, friendlier, more enthusiastic stu- dent body ever gathered on the beautiful old campus. We congratulate Editor Harris and his staff and Mr. Lee Karr, staff photographer and Editor- elect for 1942, on the splendid Annual for South- western ' s 101st year. J. W.

Made necessary by the revision of the student publication setup and the Honor System, the writing of this constitution has occupied much of the Stu- dent Senate ' s attention during the year. The Senate Committee entrusted with the formu- lating of this constitution was composed of Senators Gipson, Karr, Lampert and Camp- bell. The committee conferred frequently with Professor Hester. As the Sou ' Wester goes to press, the new constitution is wait- ing for Faculty approval. It is hoped action will be taken in time for adoption this year. The Students ' Association is the means by which the students govern themselves. A resident or a day student is a member of the Students ' Association. Executive officers of the Association are President, Vice President and Secretary. These officers are elected in Page 24 IMENT STUDENT SENATE an all school election on a Saturday during the Spring Term. The legislative phase of the Association is the Student Senate. The Senate is composed of five seniors, four jun- iors, three sophomores, two freshmen, three representatives from the Mood Hall Honor Council, three representatives from the Laura Kuykendall Hall Honor Council, and two representatives from the Snyder Hall Honor Council. As all Honor Councils have been limited in their jurisdiction or suspended, there is now no judicial branch of student government; however, one is provided for in the proposed constitution. Under the administration of Cy Rodgers, the Students ' Association has been aggressive- ly and ably governed. In spite of the partisan groups into which Southwestern students are divided, the Student Senate has attempted to give all questions facing it thorough con- sideration. The Panhellenic Council has been able to perfect a united front politically this year of the fraternities and the sororities. This front has been brought to equality in numerical strength with the independents, or Barbs; and with the reinstatement of Phi Mu in Southwestern, the Panhellenic now wields a numerical majority. The Panhellenic Council has controlled all of the classes but the Junior Class, which has an independent majority. Gladys Wilkinson, candidate of Panhellenic, was elected Miss Southwestern in December by a majority of seven. In March, however, the Panhellenic candidate for the Editorship of the Megaphone was defeated by the in- dependent incumbent, Derrill Lee Cates, by a fair majority. Lee Karr, independent, was elected Editor of the 1942 Sou ' Wester over another independent candidate — the Pan- hellenic Council not having nominated a candidate for that position. On April 19, the students will elect the officers of the Students ' Association for 1942. A close and warm race for all three positions has been indicated as both the Panhellenic Council and the independents have nominated can- didates. Jimmy Price is the candidate of Panhellenic for the Presidency, and Marvin Lampert is the independent candidate. As this section of the Sou ' Wester goes to press on April 17, we are unable to present and congratulate the officers-elect of 1942. FISHER HUTCHERSON MEREDITH C.

On December 13, 1940, Miss Gladys Wilkinson was chosen Miss Southwestern for 1941. Miss Mary Jane Whitcomb was the Senior girl chosen by the Dean of Women to reign as Queen of the Rainbow. In previous years Sou ' Wester beauties were selected in all-school elections. This year they were chosen differently. Mr. Charles Boyer was asked to pick them from a group nominated by the respective sororities and the Barb Asso- ciation. From all the nominees, he was asked to pick the most beautiful Southwestern girl; from the nominees of each organization, he was asked to pick the organization beauty. Mr. Boyer chose Miss Patsy Baker as the most beau- tiful Southwestern girl; as organization beauties, he chose Miss Betty Garrison of the Barb Association, Miss Beth Briscoe of Zeta Tau Alpha, Miss Laura Nell Key of Delta Delta Delta, Miss Marjorie Medlenka of Phi Mu and Miss Marjorie Fisher of Alpha Delta Pi. Also included for the first time are the Sou ' Wester choices of the twenty-eight Southwesterners who have con- tributed most constructively to this year. Three veteran members of the Sou ' Wester staff were asked to make the choices. The first eight represented Southwestern in the 1940 edition of Who ' s Who in American Colleges. These are well known and familiar to all, added comment about them from us would be tritely superfluous. The remain- ing twenty are possibly less well known, but they have also worked for Southwestern.

During the summer, a com- plete reorganization of the publications was effected. The editorships of the Sou ' Wester and the Megaphone were put on a salary basis, and the publication of the Southwestern Magazine was tentatively suspended. Soon, however, after the beginning of the fall semester the Board decided to con- tinue the magazine as a separate publication, and Rodney Clark accepted the editorship. The Board has already made several changes in the publication setup for next year; however, the general policies which it has already estab- lished will continue. Under the sponsorship of Miss Annabel Murray the qual- ity of the Southwestern Magazine and the Megaphone has been greatly improved. Both can truthfully be said to repre- sent aggregate of the students; both are media by which the thought and actions of Southwestern people are propa- gated and recorded. Dr. G. B. Wolcott is the Faculty Advisor for the Sou ' - Western. Characteristically, his advice and assistance have been indispensable in producing this yearbook. During the summer, the business managerships of the three publications were combined into one position. John Morelle, member of the Class of ' 40, accepted this position. Although his task has been great and strange, he has faith- fully striven to maintain the standards set up by the Board and merits a large share of the credit for the progress the student publications have made during this year. Professor M. L. Williams is Chairman of the Board of Student Publications, and Mr. I. J. McCooks is Secretary. The Board is composed of five members of the Faculty, two senior students of the University; and the editors of the three publications have been considered ex-officio members. JOHN L.

CATES The Megaphone literally covers the campus like a blanket. Ten o ' clock on Saturday morning is a time of anxious anticipation. It is then that a real blanket of Megaphones has been spread enveloping the attention of all the sttidents until time for the next class. There are several features which this year ' s Megaphone has been the first Megaphone to possess. Possibly the one most appre- ciated is the consistency of regularity with which it has appeared each week. It has grown in size, this year it has been 16 by 24; and on March 22 a six-page edition was issued. The Megaphone is a source of much pride to all South westerners.

Student Council of Religious Activities Mood Hall Crusade Ptfgc 6- University Sunday School Class Baptist University Sunday School Class ACTIVITIES Campus Crusade RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Summary by Ray Lawler 1940-1941 saw a new high in the responsiveness of Southwestern to its religious program. The acceptance of such, however, was due largely to the tireless efforts of the personnel of the Christian forces themselves in devising attractive methods of procedure and through the securing of choice speakers to give further motivation to their plans. Campus Crusade Week, under the direction of the Campus Crusade was the initial religious function of the year. Held in October, it was one of the outstanding Christian Group activities of the year. The highlight of the year ' s religious program was Religious Emphasis Week held in February under the direction of the S.C.R.A. Rev. Cy Barcus of Houston was the speaker of the week. Extensive efforts to better the moral conditions of Southwestern campus life were undertaken by the S.C.R.A., the Crusade movements, and the Kenneth Pope Sundav School Class during the school year. A two weeks revival meeting at the University Church, with the Rev. Oran Stephens, Pastor, conducting climaxed the 40-41 religious activities. Page 6 5 SOUTHWESTERN FLYING SCHOOL During the summer of 1940 Southwestern instituted a Civilian Pilot Training course as part of its share in the pro- gram for national defense. Approximately forty boys and one girl were taught to fly during the two semes- ters. The airport was located on the Temple highway. A hangar was constructed and two airplanes bought. A third one was purchased during the spring. In charge of the program during the fall were Mr. Frank Bryant and Mr. Virgil Reynolds. Mr. Joe McCook took over during the spring semester; and it has been due largely to his effort and persistance that the program was carried out through the spring. Flight instructors were Box Sexton, Ed Bartholemew, T. O. Summerville, Hixon Cowan, and Walter Simmons. Professor Bergin Dunn con- ducted the ground school twice weekly and three hours nightly throughout the year. And thus South- western University contributes forty potential war birds to Uncle Sam ' s air corps. Page 66 DEBATING Southwestern Debators traveled more than 3 5 00 miles this year to tournaments. The freshman team, composed of Walker and Jones, was rated highest in the junior division at the Arkadelphia, Arkansas, tournament held during the Thanksgiving holidays. They were also rated among the highest twelve teams at the Durant, Oklahoma, tournament in the spring. The Southwestern debaters, who debated intercollegiately are Gladys Wilkinson, Margaret Sandherr, Fred Brigman, Charles Perry Godbey, Courtney Siceloff, John Roger Walker, and Perry Jones. Mr. T. H. Marsh is the coach. Lubbock, March 6-8. Members of the Shanghai cast were Billie Doris Hays, Kathryn Hedge, Carl Bergquist, and Ford Ainsworth.

To distinguish one man on the eleven or several men as outstanding is neither a credit nor a justi- fication for the season record. The backfield AA • «  w Page 79 deserves high praise for its sparkling runs and good punting and the sterling line play that yielded only four touchdowns through the for- ward wall in eleven games must be significant. Yet in our appraisal of the team record we should consider several important factors. Out- standing in these points to remember is the heavy coaching burden on Mr. R. M. Medley who is fielding a college football team without coaching aid from assistants. Another vital factor was the noticeable lack of school spirit and its associated disunity. The Pirates of 1940 were a fighting group that will salvage glory even in defeat and there is a niche in Southwestern athletic history for that kind of spirit. - « % LESTER BEPPO BRUMLEY Two Letter Tackle McAllen, Texas PRESTON LUKE LUCAS Squadman, Halfback Sweetwater, Texas MARVIN WIMPY LAMPERT Two Letter Tackle Lorena, Texas t_ _ -_ • ALTON WEEKS One Letter Fullback Sweetwater, Texas R.

COBB HARRY LAMPERT Getting off to an impressive start by winning three straight, the Pirates ran into complications later on in the season and finished in the lower brackets. The improvement visible this year and the losing of only one letterman tend to bolster the possibilities of a banner season in years to come. Coach Med Medley built the necleus of his squad around some six or seven men. Elrod, Cobb, Runnels, Rice, Lampert, Doan, Bancroft, and Lucas gave outstanding performances through- out the season, with the other squadmen filling in. Not only did the ' 41 season mark a rebirth in basketball men, but it could be hailed as the year that made S. U. students basketball-conscious. This year and in years to come the student body will be behind the Pirates. %A LEWIS DOAN .-■■- • CHARLES BANCROFT MARVIN LAMPERT A Pirate tosses in a charity throw HORACE ELROD JOHNNIE RICE VERNON RUNNELS Page 84 Slick Elrod slips through the defense to sink one.

This program has become campus-wide in im- portance, ranking with the varsity in interest among the students. Under the present setup, every student on the campus has a chance to participate in any phase of the athletic program he chooses without having to compete with a group of specialized athletes. There are five teams in the school league: two Barb teams, the A ' s and the B ' s, composed of the Freshmen and Seniors, and the Sophomores and Juniors, re- spectively; and one team from each Fraternity the K.A. ' s, Phis, and Sigs. Page 88 Competition includes four major sports, foot ball, basketball, baseball, and track, with a host of minor sports mixed in. These minor sports broaden the student ' s field, with approximately 90% of the boys taking part in some activity. Points are awarded in each sport, the major ones counting 100, 75, and 5 points, while the mi- nors are worth 5 0, 3 0, and 20. Thus far the Barb B ' s are leading the league and will probably finish in first place. The Sigs are high in the Greeks and will likely be awarded the banner. Last year the Barb A ' s walked off with the engraved plaque awarded for first place, while the K.A. ' s copped the Intramural banner for the leading Frat. The Intramural program helps, not only physically, but mentally in improving the per- son ' s outlook on problems he will face in later life, Coach Williams said.

The George- town chapter is a charter member of the national organization. For several years the club has had first place among the academic floats in the Homecoming parade. Na- tional and international conventions, trips to Monterrey, and yearly banquets are some of the attractions of the organization which exist to promote friendship and good will among the American republics, and to incite an interest in the study of Spanish. Miss Lucy Belle Morgan is sponsor of the club. Mrs. Margaret Mood McKennon and Dr. Herbert L. Gray are honorary members.

These students are united in an organization known as the Barb Association. The pur- BARB SOCIAL FUNCTION pose of this organization is dual. The organization attempts to secure for the non-fraternity student a voice in student government, and it attempts to provide the independent student with the opportunity to attend social functions designed to fit his needs. The Barb Association is also the means by which non-fraternity men participate in the intramural program of the school. The success of this or- ganization depends entirely upon the amount of interest the individual independents take in its activities. BARB EXECUTIVE COUNCIL An Executive Council is elected by the independent stu- dents to govern the Barb Association during the year. This year that council has been composed of the following stu- dents: Ed Harris, Chairman; Cy Rodgers, Charley Powell, Milton Perry, Spencer Meredith, Charles Smith, Lewis Doan, Albert Cobb, Mickey Lott, Ida Mae Rundell, Billie Mane Lawhon, Gladine Criswell. Henry Meyer has served as Chairman of the Social Committee.

Yet the average Texan probably would be surprised to learn that an in- vestment of over seven hundred million dollars already has been made toward building a new kind of T exas! Thus, with this seven hundred million dollar in- vestment, Texas business leaders have the key to open Texas ' new industrial era. Lone Star Gas Company was one of the first natural gas companies organized in Texas. It has pioneered in the development of Texas gas reserves, in methods of transmission and distribution. Today, Lone Star new kind of 7 exas Gas Service is considered one of the finest in the world. Potent in building and maintaining this high standard of service is the factor of capital investment which Lone Star Gas Svstem has made. It amounts to well over S-IO.C ' O 00 for each employee. Natural gas companies operating in Texas have invested in plants, gas reserves and equipment about $725,000,000.00 in making available a dependable sup- ply of natural gas to homes, business houses and in- dustrial plants. Already over 6,000 Texas industrial plants are using this clean, low-cost fuel service for heat and power. When one stops to consider the in- estimable benefits this huge investment has brought already to land owners, homes, business and industry some idea of its significance in today ' s efforts to build a greater industrial Texas can be seen.
