Therefore, the Sou-ivest ' er here takes the opportunity to pay tribute respectfully to a man who lived, worked, and died that Iris dream of a greater Southwestern might become a reality. Dr. }. N. R. Score was a man of vision, a man of high ideals, a man of God, and a man whose life was devoted to the best interests of his fellow man. Throughout his eight years on this campus, Dr. Score worked to make Southwestern a university of which all Methodism could be proud and succeeding years will prove his work ivas not in vain. Mere words cannot memorialize the efforts and effects of this man on our university. However, the buildings which will be erected will stand forever as a fitting tribute and the young men and women who are receiving and will receive their education in these halls of learning will go out into the world as living memorials to the success of a man who had the determination and courage to make his dreams come true-Dr. J. N. R. Score DEDICATION To The memory of Dr. Score, who worked unceasingly to make Southwestern better, Mr. and Mrs. Perkins for their strengthening of Christian life at Southwestern through the giving of Lois Perkins Chapel, The Board of Trustees for their interest and supervision. The Administration for its sym- pathy to our problems. The Faculty for giving of priceless knowledge, advice, and associations. The people of Georgetown for their hospitality and coopera- tion. Our parents for giving us this education. The matrons and everyone on the campus who have given of their time and efforts, their love and spirit and friendship toward making 1949 and 1950 the best year for Southwestern. will write the dedication in future years. OUR CAMPUS of SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY On the wide-lawned campus here at Southwestern is enacted a drama of youth: of carefree hours spent among friends, of fruitful hours spent in satisfying study, of heartaches, of joys. Here is a pattern for living. When one recalls Southwestern he remembers many things — things which touch the heartstrings and bring forth the reminis- cent music of happy moments plucked from cadenzas of serious thought, bouyant friendships, poignant griefs, ever-widening horizons, peace, and restful security. Southwestern is more than all of these, more than the buildings, more than the people — it is a tradition, and an ideal. If only the shady walks might tell the secrets which their sympathetic ears have heard; if only the buildings might share the whispered dreams, and the confidence which comes with knowledge. The years will never erase these memories, for they are as indelible as time: Moonlight over the Ad Building etching in gentle relief the stone towers and ivy-covered walls that have seen generation upon generation pass by in search of a future the Student Union and the disappointed faces after selling a book back, the easy rhythm of the tinkling upright piano, the fast and furious ping-pong games Mood Hall, — yes, good old Mood Hall, with its balconies and skylight, its familiar views from the west windows of the tracks and the watertower, the boys, the controlling hand of Mrs. Cornwell the infirmary, the restless patients anxious to be up — to be with the friends who come to the windows and talk because they are not allowed in as visitors the thrill of a football game at Snyder Field, the crowd, the yells, the antics at half time, the colorful floats across the field at Homecoming, the proud feeling when the Pirates emerge from the fieldhouse the Art Shop, with trumpet sounds coming from the band room, and clay modeling and figure drawing going on in the art department, the No Admittance print shop with its myriad equipment Skinney ' s Tavern, where good friends get together, the scene of conversation over coffee cups, elation and dejection at the mailboxes, the clink of nickels on the pinball machines and I ' ve got the next one! , the innumerable posters on election day the Angels of Barracks A (not always so angelic) who think it is their job to keep the dog kingdom well populated the old Science Building, decrepit but still there, still keeping students up until all hours with Bunsen burners and test tubes searching for unknowns the Science Facility, with its dogfish and dogged Biology students the com- bination of sounds coming from the Fine Arts Building: an orchestra, band, chorus, fifteen pianists and an organist all tuning up at the same time Rendezvous at the library with love as the general heading the exciting varsity basketball and girls ' intramural volleyball games in the gym, the P. E. classes, and the tap dancers finally, L. K. Hall, the midnight gab sessions and cheese and cracker parties (chili, before the hotplates were confiscated), the dining hall, the annex and chapter rooms, the immaculate cleaning when visitors are expected, the traffic jam on Saturday nights, the farewells on the front porch On this our campus is built an institution; on this campus is built a hope — to give each student, outside the realm of degrees and teachers ' certificates, an intangible guidepost for the future. 4 5 In this building lies the heart and pulse of the school from which the students draw their resources — not meaning in this case the monetary resources which can be found in the business office. The administra- tive offices found here create the basis of our education and here we find not only the professors, the walls and blackboards, but that bit of knowledge which sparks our lives to growth in a Society— one of which we are becoming a part. building Each of us has had his own separate experiences which will never be forgotten, whether it be time spent standing in registration lines, the stroll in the hall to the coke machine, or those few anxious moments spent outside the Deans ' offices. To some it is a building which must be left, seldom to be entered again, but to others it is the symbol of what is to be received in their next few years here. In either case, it is the building that is never to be forgotten from that first view from the distant hill along the highway. ■ ■ ' - .■ , ■ Longfellow once said, The student has his Rome, his Florence, his whole glowing Italy within the four walls of his library. Surely he couldn ' t have been referring to a university library such as Cody Memorial, for students here find much more than Rome and Florence— Ah, yes! Those eight o ' clock dates, of c ourse. Some say the silence of this library is hampered only by the bright lights. Yet, not to be forgotten are those many hours spent here for searching and researching for those little gems, the thought twisters, our profs so aptly call themes. library U a lu icu r Lowi ngceMibu. S LAURA KUYKENDALL This building is more than a dormitory to all the girls who live here during the school year. In here friendships are made that will last throughout life; memories are made that will last for- ever. Under the supervision of Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Williams, and Mrs. Bridges all the girls, at one time or another, have a longing to climb down one of the fire escapes or go through the front lobby in blue jeans. But this comes only to the senior girls on one certain day. This building is visited by many, many boys here daily (and nightly) to gaze into the charming eyes of all those girls! If anyone is the envy of all the males on the campus it is certainly Doc, for he alone can pass through those halls without receiving demerits. Kuykendall Hall is certainly the pride of the campus with its green spacious lawns and its beautifully scented rose bushes and, we must add, those softly illuminated evenings beneath the spot- lights. Matrons Smith, Williams, and Bridges probably discussing the outcome of the evening Canasta game. MOOD HALL MEN ' S DORMITORY Probably no other person on the campus is more prominent than Mrs. Margaret Cornwell, supervisor of Mood Hall. When a boy first comes to Southwestern the person that he first meets is Mrs. Cornwell, the beginning of his first campus friendship. To many of the boys she has been a mother away from home and has helped each one in some way or another. No person is more generous or lenient, and no one is more willing to help. Probably more things have happened in this dorm than in any other building here, with activities ranging from studies, pep rallies, serenades, to pillow fights and track meets on the third floor and baseball games on the second. At least once the girls had an opportunity to come get the boys for dates here. No matter how long a boy stays here the time will never be forgotten. Mrs. Cornwell as seen daily at her office desk. Mrs. Score, above, expertly breaks ground at Lois Perkins Chapel cere- monies. Below, the framework for the chapel etches a geometrical pattern against the sky. LOIS PERKINS CHAPEL The most long-awaited event in recent Southwestern history — the building of our Chapel. The groundbreaking ceremonies were held on the spot where the altar is to stand, during one of the first regular chapel services at the first of the year. First to break the ground was Mrs. Score, wife of the late Dr. J. N. R. Score, former president of Southwestern; school officials then wielded the spade, then presidents of all the campus organizations. Each day students have watched it grow and mature into a graceful, stately building, one which may be seen and admired upon entering Georgetown from the hills, and one which will become an integral part of our school and Christian life. It is not yet completed, but will be when the seniors of 1951 are ready to walk down its aisles. Left: Quite a lofty position! atop the tower of Lois Perkins Chapel. Right: The Chapel under construction makes an interesting picture, and gives a promise of what is to be. 10 JIM WEST GYMNASIUM At night the glow of the lights streaming through the spacious windows combined with the swells of yells resounding from within give life to the spirit and enthusiasm of the game of basketball. Not only basketball, but scores of games, boxing, volleyball, and all sorts of gymnastic feats keep the health and spirit of education on an even keel. There are no dull Jacks here. THE SCIENCE BUILDING Condemned! That is the fate of this fading building. To some eyes this will be a sad occasion, but oh, to the many never will there be a more glorifying sight. It is true that this building has served many— and well, but as time passes the old must give way to the new. Short lived? Yes. But who will ever forget those tedious hours spent over a Bunsen burner, running unknown after unknown through its paces to please those faces of Dr. Godbey and Dr. Wannfried while others still labored through their physics problems. And, if English never was a science, it is now, as Mrs. Geppert can well assure. But still- Condemned! 11 Another view of the Ad building and Mood Hall. 12 Marilyn Dusek expresses sheer rapture at the taste of one of the Tavern ' s exquisite hamburgers.

THE ADMINISTRATION Southwestern University is an insti- tution of the Methodist Church. It is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of twenty-five members, both ministers and laymen. These men are selected from the Texas Conferences as well as the New Mexico Conference. These members are elected by the Annual Con- ferences and have a term of office for four years. This board operates under the charter which was ap- proved February 5, 1875. Since that time, however, there have been several revisions. For more than a hundred years now, since its origin as Ruterville College in February, 1840, South- western has had as its ideal the development of Christian culture and character. The administration, as well as the faculty and every member connected with the Univer- sity, adds its part to this goal of de- veloping better men and women. 19 20 21 SOCIAL SCIENCES, RELIGION AND BIBLE In these departments the classes are taught with the idea in mind of improving the students ' general culture, to prepare them for citizenship, and to help them to understand the Bible and to prepare for the Christian way of life.

Some prepare one for the teaching profession whereas the others are of a required nature. The English courses begin with the entrance exams, with the next step on the ladder to the degree being 0 English. Not to be forgotten is the Department of Journalism, which is the background for all of the school publications. Seen below is the happy classroom of Dr. Howard. Judging from the expressions on the faces of the enlightened weak- enders, he is probably discussing Shelley ' s Trannscezd-, Trendendsantalis--, the Byronic hero, no doubt!

Classes have met this year in the science building and temporary science facility, where there are many different cultures — bacteria, that is. A science degree is the first step to medical school, th e cherished goal of so many hundreds of young pre-med students today. Larger schools may offer a more direct path, but here at Southwestern the student, through hard work, as at a larger school, may also attain his goal and at the same time may have the privilege of close companionship and security that only a small school can give. These professors offer their knowledge and experience in the hope that their students may advance in their particular fields to an even greater knowledge than the professors themselves embrace — which, after all, is the dream of every educator. And, we would venture to sav that, like Dr. Godbev, thev are waiting for the new science building. FOREIGN LANGUAGES While all that some students learn to say in a foreign language is Parlez-vous Fran- cais? or Chevrolet Coupe or Du bist an Schtinkatz, the students of these teach- ers learn the rudiments of their particular chosen language, gain a knowledge of the country and its customs, and acquire through the study of another culture a wider understanding and a deeper appre- ciation of their own mode of living and speaking. A large variety of courses is offered in each of these languages: Chinese, French, Ger- man, Greek ( Classic ) , Greek ( New Testa- ment) , Japanese, Latin, Russian, and Span- ish. There are ample opportunities to major in any of these languages, and spe- cial linguistic courses are offered for foreign language majors. Each of the instructors has studied or trav- eled in another country, thus bringing more directly to bear upon his classes the influence of another land. Miss Dauer studied at Elberfield, Germany, and Paris, France, and Dr. Patterson visited exten- sively in France. Dr. Frederick Lenz did a great part of his work at Berlin, while Dr. Mali Lenz studied in Lausanne, Switzerland, Berlin, Marburg, and Hamburg, Germany. Although Mr. McCoy has not studied in Mexico, he has absorbed so much atmos- phere from our neighbor because of fre- quent visits that one would suspect he had lived there all his life. In the manner of travelogues we would say, As the sun sinks slowly in the west, we bid farewell to the pagodas of China, the tall Eiffel spires of France, the watch- towers of Germany, the stately Doric col- umns of Greece, the mirrored bridges of Japan, St. Peter ' s square in Rome, the Kremlin in Moscow, and the soft stucco palaces of Spain and Mexico. And in the time-honored phrase of so many romantic procrastinators, we shall say, Manana! DOROTHEA W. DAUER ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES FREDERICK W.

The fine arts students must find satisfaction for their souls to spend so much time on their work. And surely the reward is great for all music students to achieve their ut- most accomplishment in their chos- en field, whether it be in piano, organ, voice, or brass and wind in- struments. The student body is fortunate also, in that they may enjoy the fruits of the labor that goes on unendingly in the long white frame building near the president ' s house. Mr. Comctn instructs a music his- tory class in the nomenclature of ancient instruments. SPEECH AND DRAMA The Department of Speech and Drama has grown considerably under the able direction of Mr. Springer. This past year several outstanding plays have been given and the speech team, headed by Mr. Raines, has brought home several trophies. 54. JL HENRY EDWIN MEYER WENDELL L.

It picked up some members in ' 47 and even some stragglers from ' 45. This has been an eventful year for the seniors; many things have been accomplished, and those never-to-be-forgotten memories have already begun to find a place in their hearts. The senior take-off was the highlight of their year ' s activi- ties — something many of them had waited for and plotted for. for a long time. But it certainly set a precedent, and suc- ceeding classes will no doubt try to equal it. Many outstanding seniors have taken their places in the Southwest- ern Halls of Fame. Senior recitals have been given, senior art shows, oral finals have been passed, and many have made a name for them- selves in friendliness and in good- ness on this campus. Now they will go out into the world to find their security and happiness, the background for which they found here at Southwestern. May good luck precede them, and God be with them, and may they always hail their Alma Mater. On the following pages are graduates of 1950, the largest class in Southwestern ' s history, (and the best!) ARMSTRONG, JACK Chicago, 111.

At last they made it — at last they are graduates!!! It took everything but a steam shovel to get them out of here, but through the combined efforts of the facul- ty and interested friends, they made it! Now they are ready to meet the cruel world, which had better look out. A handshake, good luck, and Godspeed go with them always. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Officers pictured above are, left, to right, Albert Gore, vice-president; Margaret Weston, secret ary; and Bobo Hardy, president. Highlighting the activities of the year for the junior class was a fine picnic held in the latter part of April. Juniors and their dates rode out to San Gabriel Park on a big truck, minus hay, so it couldn ' t be called a hayride. A baseball game — boys versus girls — built up appetites for supper. And what a supper!!! Barbecued beef, potato salad, red beans, and all the trimmings. A grand time was had by everyone. The Juniors will have a hard row to hoe next year trying to live up to the accomplishments of this year ' s seniors, but we know they will try. On the following pages are this year ' s Juniors, or the class of ' 51.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS The sophomores chose as their officers for the year the three smiling characters pictured above: Virginia Spencer, vice-president, Marlee Baker, secretary, and Charlie Dennis, president. On December 10 the sophomores collaborated with the freshmen to give their annual all-school dance in Jim West Gymnasium. The gym was decorated with Christmas angels, boughs of evergreen, and real (well, almost real) snow. The dance provided an opportunity for the whole school to get together before the Christmas holidays. The sophomore year is perhaps the hardest year of all, for the students have just gotten over the uncertainty of being freshmen and must begin to make decisions about their course in life. Now, next year, it ' s forward march! On the next pages are this year ' s Sophomores — 72 Ben Marney Malcolm Mathison Joan Matthews 77 ARRIVE FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Ah, happy, carefree freshmen! Little do they know of what is before them — or maybe they do have an inkling after completing one year of college work. The phrase so often applied to freshmen — that they have a long road ahead of them — may be true, but along that road they will find pleasant days filled with satisfying study and rewarding companionships. Next year they will be sophomores, and ready to build another step in the stair- way leading to graduation. Climb the steps carefully but quickly, and do not stop to look behind you, lest you stumble. Look ever to the future, and there find your dreams. On the next pages are the freshmen of today, the seniors of 1953. 81 82 Raymond Roy Nordeen, Jr. ■ ™ Franklin Ray Painter Jean Reid Jane Ritchie Barbara Nash Lester J.

Members are nomi- nated by each class and voted on by the respective classes in the spring. All nominees must be approved by the faculty. The Senate meets regularly each week to discuss matters of importance to the student body and decide questions relating to student government problems. Their tireless efforts and determination to gain for the Southwestern students the advantages and opportunities available on larger campuses have met with high com- mendation and approval.

The actual organization became effective in the fall of 1949, following a vote of the student body. Members of the Honor Council were and are nominated by the Student Senate, approved by the administration, and elected by the student body as a whole. This Honor Council is the first real step toward complete student government; it is progressing all the time. The honor system at Southwestern is based on the principle that a student when placed on his honor will not violate this trust. Under this Honor Council, both students and faculty have certain responsibilities, and the Honor Council acts as co-ordinator and mediator. It acts as the judge of all charges made as a result of viola- tion of the honor system. Certain changes may have to be made in order for it to function properly and ade- quately and fairly, but basically the student is placed on his honor to keep the code set up by the Council. The Chairman of the Council is the Vice-President of the Student Association, this year John Foster. Membership of the Council consists of the Chairman, two members each from the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes, and two members from the Student Senate. Nancy Foster and Don Stockton are the representatives from the Senate, Frances Deckard and Yvonne Wilson are the representatives from the Senior class, Darlene Brucks and Albert Gore from the Junior class, and Nancy Roesler and Don Birely from the Sophomore class. The members of the Honor Council have a responsibility not to be belittled; the success of the plan and the possibility of future extension of student government rests on them.

Blue Key, established at Southwestern in 1948, is a national leadership fraternity for young men in colleges and universities. Its purpose is to foster leadership among students, encourage student activities, and act as a co-ordinator between students and faculty. Since Blue Key first was organized here it has taken a vital interest in all campus functions. Comparable to the Cardinal Key organization for young women, it has already become one of the most capable organizations on the campus. 116 First Row: Doris Ann Brown, Clara Mae Blocksom, Barbara Cannon, Frances Deckard.

Cardinal Key is a national honor sorority for women leaders in colleges and universities. National Cardinal Key established a chapter here at Southwestern on May 14, 1948. The major purposes of the organization are: to recognize achievement in scholarship and extra-curricular activ- ities; to advance religion, patriotism, and service by affording training for leadership in the college communty; and to develop character by application of the Cardinal virtues of living. Cardinal Key corresponds to the Blue Key organization for men. Here at Southwestern it serves as an important link between students and faculty, and the work of Cardinal Key already has proven its worth many times over.

A C A PPELLA CHOIR MR. JOHN D. RICHARDS, DIRECTOR Members of the A Cappella Choir are carefully picked by Mr. Richards, director of the choir. They must first sing with either the Girls ' or the Men ' s Glee Club, before they may be eligible to try out for the A Cappella Choir. The Choir practices regularly every weekday except Thursday. Also, it sings for the chapel service held each week. The Southwestern A Cappella Choir is known throughout the state of Texas for quality of singing and excellence of performance. It has sung this year in over fifteen different towns and has made three separate tours, given a concert at the University of Texas, and here at Southwestern. At the crowning of Miss Southwestern the choir presented Gallia with the orchestra and Yvonne Wilson as soloist. Frances Deckard, Henry Holloway, Harold Reynolds, Darlene Brucks, Willis Kelly, Dick Fly, Beverly Hollingsworth, and Evelyn Deschner have also had solo parts with the choir this year. We of Southwestern feel that the A Cappella Choir deserves a special tribute for its fine work and superb musical achievement. Mr. John D. Richards is also director of the Men ' s Glee Club and Women ' s Chorus, which are fine singing groups. Both have sung frequently here on the campus and boast quite a bit of enthusiasm among their members. Southwestern is exceptionally proud of its musical organizations. Both students and faculty feel that the members of the Fine Arts Department make an invaluable contribution to Southwestern, and these music groups have become a basic and integral part of the school functions. 126 Back Row: Ray, Dennis, Mitchell, Starnes, Marney, Weisinger, Patterson, Marek, Hasten.

The girls ' chorus, not pictured, also participated in varried musical activities this year, the highlight of which was the program which was given for the graduating seniors at the First Methodist Church on the evening of May 28th.

DELTA OMICRON PRESIDENT: FRANCES DECKARD VICE-PRESIDENT: RUTH HUBBARD SECRETARY-TREASURER: MARILYN DUSIK CHORISTER: BARBARA CANNON. Delta Omicron is a national professional music fraternity for women. The chapter on the Southwestern campus received its charter last year, on April 24, 1948. Thus it is a comparatively new addition to the Southwestern roster of organizations, but even in this short time it has taken its place among the prominent and valuable organizations on the campus. The purpose of the fraternity is to foster musicianship among the women, create interest in American composers and musicians, create interest in local musical talent, and provide an opportunity for social fellowship for its members. To be initiated, girls must fulfill the standards and purposes maintained by Delta Omicron, and also maintain a certain average in school work and music work. This spring, Delta Omicron pr esented some of its members in assembly, and gave a musical program that exemplifies the high ideals of the fraternity. Southwestern is proud of its chapter of Delta Omicron; and with such talent as has been displayed this year, there is no doubt that Delta Omicron will progress, enlarge, and become more and more valuable through the years.

Pottenger, Head Coach Spot Collins, Trainer Smith, and End Coach Ted Bare. Coach Collins is a native of Breckenridge and is a graduate of the University of Texas where he was a star guard and blocking back. He is a Marine Corps veteran. Coach Pottenger came to Southwestern in 1949 from Carthage, Missouri, Hi School where he had coached for 2 years. Pottenger is a graduate of Southwest Missouri Teachers Col- lege. Coach Ted Bare is a recent Southwestern graduate and all-time S.U. gridiron great. He lettered three years at Southwestern as an end and was an outstanding basketball player. 19-F00TBALL-49 CAPTAINS In the photo at right, are the 1949 South- western football captains, Center Henry F. Shep- pard at left, and Halfback Joe Dowdy Frazer at right. Sheppard is a three-year letterman while Frazer has lettered two years.

However, it was only after the Buccaneers spent the first 8 games of their 10 tilt schedule floundering around and winning only two non- conference starts while dropping 3 straight in conference play that they finally came to life; against A I at Homecoming. A complete account of the full season follows. Marvin Gray 3- Year Letterman Back S.U. — S ' WEST TEXAS 1949 ' s opening encounter matched the Pirates with the Southwest Texas State Bobcats, 1948 winners of the Lone Star Conference. Although the game ended in a nothing to nothing score, Southwestern backers felt that their club had played well for a season opener. The Pirates blew two good scoring chances, while holding the Cats almost gainless. S.U. — SAM HOUSTON STATE 6 In the young season ' s second tilt, the Pirates met the Sam Houston Bearcats in Huntsville. The Cats had not previously won a game in 12 starts, but aided by inept Southwestern play, and the sterling performance of Little All Amer- ica end Roughhouse Williams collected a one touchdown lead and were not to be overtaken. Dewey Baker 3- Year Letterman Back 143 Bobby Aderhold 3- Year Letterman Guard Glen T. Swenson 2- Year Letterman Guard Buddy Lawhorn 2- Year Letterman Guard in Wendell Graves 2- Year Letterman Tackle FOOTBALL S.U. — LOUISIANA TECH 20 A week after the Sam Houston game, the Pirates, still on the road, traveled to Ruston, La., to meet the very strong Lousiana Tech club. The Webfeet spor ted the classiest running and passing game that the Southwesterners faced all season, and ran away with a game that was hardly a contest after the first half. S.U. 10 — ABILENE CHRISTIAN 13 In their first conference start of the year, the Bucs met the ACC Wildcats in Abilene. The Wildcats, always tough on their home field, proved too much for a game group of Pirates. However, the first half was all Southwestern as the Pirates seemed destined to start the come- back trail. They tallied their first two scores of the year that first half, a field goal, and touch- down, to lead 10-0. But not to be denied in the fatal second half, the Wildcats roared back to score two quick game-winning touchdowns. S.U. 28 — DANIEL BAKER Returning to home soil fine following week, the Pirates shellacked the out-manned Daniel Baker Hillbillies 28-0. The Billies were never in the game, and with this win, Southwestern supporters hoped for a continued winning streak. S.U. 7 — HOWARD PAYNE 20 Southwestern met strong Howard Payne in Brownwood the next Saturday, and came home on the short end of a 20-7 score. This was the Pirates ' second consecutive conference loss, and was marred by apparently disinterested Buc play. Only redeeming feature of the tilt for S.U. partisans was a brief period in the second Robert Castanon 2- Year Letterman Tackle 35 Frank White 2- Year Letterman Back Buddy Frey 2- Year Letterman Guard 144 Bobby Adair 2- Year Letterman Back Dolphus Saegert 2- Year Letterman Tackle Jim Fenwick 2- Year Letterman Back Joe Dowdy Frazer 2- Year Letterman Back FOOTBALL half, when Marvin Gray and Leo Chafin entered the game to spark the Southwesterner ' s touch- down drive . S.U. 6 — EAST TEXAS BAPTIST 20 The Howard Payne defeat seemed to break the Pirates ' back and they returned to Snyder field to hit rock bottom against the Baptists in a listless two-touchdown defeat. S.U. — AUSTIN COLLEGE 28 In this one played in Sherman, the Bucs took their most outscored loss of the year. Appar- ently stunned by the East Texas defeat they were completely outplayed. Austin College ' s flying circus was too much for the Pirate sec- ondary, and when the Bucs pulled linemen into the backfield in a vain attempt to break up the passing game, Austin College backs literally paraded through gaping holes in the line. S.U. 3 — A I 7 Bouncing back at Homecoming, when they seemed down for the long count, the Pirates al- most took this one out of the fire on the strength of a second quarter field goal into a strong north wind, with Frank White doing the booting. During the last quarter the Javelinas began a desperation passing game. An almost unavoid- able interference penalty ruled against the Southwestern secondary gave the visitors the ball on the one-yard line and they scored on the next play, then added an extra point to end the scoring. S.U. 20 — McMURRY 20 This tie is for the record books. In the final regularly scheduled game of the year, South- Kelley Burkhardt 1-Year Letterman Back Larry Crownover 1-Year Letterman Back John Paul Schulze 2- Year Letterman End 145 Hobert Simmons 1-Year Letterman Back Floyd Pearson 1-Year Letterman Back Jack Dancer 1-Year Letterman Center 57 Gene White 2- Year Letterman Center Jake Shelley 1-Year Letterman Back FOOTBALL western met the mighty McMurry Indians on Georgetown ' s Snyder Field. The Indians, al- ready Conference Champions, boasted three potential Little All Americans in halfback Brad Rowland, fullback Floyd Sampson, and giant end Les Cowan. Halfback Marvin Gray of the Pirates stole the night ' s show, however, as he personally led the Bucs to their tie. South- western spotted McMurry 14 points before they ever started a scoring drive, but Gray ' s slash- ing, driving, running, and outstanding passing, plus the goal-line drive of Kelley Burkhardt brought the Pirates back into the game and enabled them to tie 20-20. S.U. 47 — MEXICO CITY COLLEGE 6 Invited to play a post-season game against the Mexico City College Aztecs, the Champions of all Mexico, the Bucs traveled all the way to Mexico City, as guests of the Aztecs and re- turned hospitality by shellacking the Mexican team 47-6. S.U. 20 — AUSTIN EXES 7 For a season finale, the Pirates were invited to play a team made up of ex-Austin Hi grid- sters in Austin ' s House park. The Austin club developed into both art ex-Maroon and ex- University of Texas club, while Southwestern enlisted the services of coaches Collins, Bare, and Pottenger. The game was played in a sea of mud, left after heavy fall rains, but was an interesting encounter with all three S.U. coaches and half- back Leo Chafin adding up to the margin of difference.

The Pirates ' first line hurlers, Hop Priest (3-3), left, Dan Byerly (4-0), center, and Frank Severn (3-1), at right. All three have been steady performers, but the veteran 4-year letterman Hop Priest, tossed the gem of the year, a spark- ling two-hitter against St. Mary ' s University of San Antonio. 148 Paul Rader Letterman, 2nd Base Jake Shelley Letterman Catcher PIRATES 1950 RECORD Opponents S.U.

Based on the first two games that time permitted to be tabulated before the last deadline passed, the Barbs had amassed more than twice the amount of points of their closest rival, the A. D. Pi ' s. The Barbs scored 50 runs while allowing 4 as compared to only 23 runs by the A.D.Pi ' s who allowed 9 scores by their opponents. If the Independents maintain their lead for the remainder of the baseball season, they will win the intramural trophy by virtue of winning both the volley ball and baseball tournaments. Bottom row, 1. to r.: Elaine LeBlond, Martha Butler, Capt., Anna Jean Godbey, June Ashen. Top row: Norma Jo Mayfield, Windy Steinman, Shirley Davis, Betty Wilson, Mildred Willmann, Darlene Brucks.

Southwestern is the better for her, and she has left an example in living that should well be followed. MISS SOUTHWESTERN Miss Southwestern - the highest honor that can come to any girl here at Southwestern University. She embodies all the ideals which the school holds for all its young women. She possesses strength of character, stands for Christian principles, has better-than-average scholastic standing, is active in all phases of campus life, and perhaps most important of all, is loved and respected by the faculty and by her fellow students. Here Doris Ann Brown, our Miss Southwestern, clad in the traditional white dress, gold mantle, and carrying yellow roses, all symbolical of the high honor she has attained, is crowned by Dr. William C. Finch, president. Prince Parker Folse, in the background, watches the cere- mony. 160 ALPHA DELTA PI BEAUTY MISS JOAN DEE QUINN INDEPENDENT BEAUTY MISS JOYCE PEACOCK 165 J ZETA TALI ALPHA BEAUTY MISS BOYCE ANN LEWIS 166 ELLA BLANKENSHIP Independent GRAY BRUCKS Independent KATHY BURTON Independent BETTYE CURTIS Delta Zeta BEAUTY KOMI HE E S DOT CLARK Delta Delta Delta CAMILLA LANHAM ANNA LEUTWYLER Delta Delta Delta Zeta Tau Alpha 168 RUTH McCAIN Phi Mu LOIS MUCKLERO Alpha Delta Pi LOIS RUTLEDCE Zeta Tau Alpha 169 170 YVONNE WILSON Alpha Delta Pi BETH WORTH Delta Zeta BEAUTY REVUE The beauties of Southwestern University were nominated by the fraternities, sororities, and the Independent Organiza- tion. The nominees were judged in the Library Auditorium by State Representative Peppy Blount, Walter (Booster) Bre- mond, and Bob Phillips; following the judging a reception was held in the library foyer. The beauties were presented on Saturday night in the colorful Southwestern Var iety Show and Beauty Revue spon- sored by the annual. Peppy Blount emceed the two-hour pro- gram which included skits from various organizations; the evening was livened hilariously by Peppy ' s impromptu com- ments. The presentation of the chosen beauties climaxed one of the most eventful programs of the year. Proud thanks are due the preceding beauties for their cooperation. 171 Another year has passed and between its coming and going many occurrences of international, national, state, and local significance have taken place. In many parts of the world strife and conflict have run their course, new discoveries and inventions which can bring life or death have made their appearance, men have lived and men have died, and this old planet on which we live has continued on its whirling course through space. For many this year at Southwestern has been a happy one so why don ' t we turn back the pages of time, say to September of 1949, and catch a brief glimpse of the happenings on our campus, events which stand out to us during the past year. What freshman can ever forget his first look at the Administration Building (above) with its strong, time- defying look of solidity. Little did he know that soon, within those weatherworn walls, he would be racking his brain, seeking the right answers to the many questions which his teachers were asking. But, such is life. He or she was happy. At last he was through with high school and now he could settle down to the glorious, care- free life of a college man or woman. Do you remember the Freshman Party, with its sing- song and Mr. Springer ' s humorous readings, or Registra- tion Day, with its cards, forms, rain, and lines, lines, lines. First you had to go here, then someone sent you there, and just about every place you went — someone got there ahead of you. It ' s kinda hard to forget, isn ' t it. Cardinal Key and Blue Key supplied information of various types to the bewildered freshmen and others who needed it on R-day. Fred Switzer is seen (right) handing out seniorly advice to Melanie Williams while Jerry Hardin is debating whether or not it is the right info. Will it never end? That seems to be the general consensus of opinion as Ted Bare, Mrs. Geppert, Dean Ferguson, Dr. Burton, Miss Taylor, Dr. Patterson, etc., all keep sign- ing students up. Barbara Dunn looks as if she is about ready to give up and go home. A few days later came the annual Faculty Reception. All the boys and girls put on their best bib and tucker, formed lines again, and started to become acquainted with the members of the faculty and each other. The young ladies sure looked mighty pretty in their dress-up clothes and a good time was had by all. The fabulous, sleep-losing Rush Week came round and the rush was truly on. The frosh were wined, dined, and entertained like mad. They really enjoyed it. But the worn-out upperclassmen who gave the parties en- joyed sleeping most of all. At right, the PIKAs ' are giving Dick Thomas the full treatment while at lower right the Kappa Sigs are putting on a show for the people. Above are shown some of the Cuties who were present at the ZTA rush party. They include Boyce Ann Lewis, Joan Dee Quinn, Jean Ann Pledger, Jill Taylor, and Ann Leeman. At top right are shown ADPI ' s Betty McCoy and Jane B. McCook with rushees Alta Naylor and Martha Holland. Just look at all those pretty Pepsodent smiles. At lower right the boys of Kappa Alpha give out with a big grin for the photographer (Harper McGee, no doubt). The rushees are Syd Cole and Hyman Fortin- berry and Frank Severn, Bill Higgins, Buddy Lawhorn, Harold Leatherwood, Paul Baker, Marvin Gray, Charlie Guinn, Slim Avant, and Lee Folse. With the beginning of school and the advent of Fall, the students of Southwestern naturally got the fever — Football Fever, that is. The Black and Gold fielded a good, strong team and the spirit and enthusiasm ran high. However, as fate sometime wills, a combination of hard luck, bad breaks, and other factors added up to a losing football team, and with the loses the spirit of the supporters waned. Then Old Dame Fortune and a fighting spirit began to assert themselves and the Pirate Footballers fought the powerful Texas A and I Javalinas to a standstill in a fine Homecoming Game before being edged by the score of 7 to 3. The following week the Pirates really came into their own and closed out the season successfully by going into the McMurry . game as 50-point underdogs and coming out with a : 20-20 tie. Shown above are two Pirates very successfully apply- ing a tight squeeze to a Javalina in the A. and I. game, with two more Bucs rushing up to give some aid which wasn ' t needed. From all those anxious faces at right it would seem that the pressure is on the Pirate goal-line, although Beryl Kermeth seems to be more interested in food at the moment. At left, Coach Spot Collins and some of the boys are really concentrating on the gridiron. Gene White, Frank White, Pooch Pearson, and Terrell Allen look a little worried. In fact, Terrell looks like he ' s just about ready to chew off a finger. It ' s possible, though, that he had blueberry pie for supper and is still trying to get rid of the seeds. At left — Mrs. J. N. R. Score is shown turning over the first spadeful of dirt at the Lois Craddock Perkins Chapel ground-breaking ceremonies. Right — Dr. W. C. Finch, then ad- ministrative Assistant and now Presi- dent of the University, takes his turn with the spade. Lower right — Jake Shelley, Stu- dent Body president, lifts his quota of dirt, to be followed by members of the student body organizations and the campus leaders. In October of 1949 an event occurred on the campus which will long be remembered, for it was on this day that the students of Southwestern University wended their way to a spot behind the old Science Building and there participated in the ground-breaking ceremonies for the Lois Craddock Perkins Chapel. This momentous event was the first step in the plans for a Greater Southwestern. Presiding over the gathering was Administrative As- sistant Dr. William C. Finch. Mrs. J. N. R. Score, repre- senting Dr. Score, turned over the first shovelful of dirt and was followed in this happy task by members of the faculty and representatives of the various student body organizations. The University A Cappella Choir lent the impressive- ness of its collective voices to the proceedings and the solemnity and beauty of the program made it a day which will not soon be forgotten. ' An unidentified hand points toward Parker Folse, who played the title role in the Players ' production of Julius Caesar. Fred Switzer backs him up as Marc Anthony. One of S.U. ' s finest character actresses, Ruth Lewis, is shown givinq Winona Terry some sound advice in the play, The Late Christopher Bean, which was presented in the Theatre-in-the- Round. At right, a scene from the Mask and Wig pro- duction of The Late Christopher Bean, with Geraldine Luter and Fred Switzer looking on as Ed- die Silliman examines a picture. The drama lovers of the University can probably remember these scenes from two of the productions of Angus Springer ' s Mask and Wig Players for the ' 49- ' 50 season. First came The Late Chris- topher Bean, which was followed by W. Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar. Next on the agenda came R. B. Sheridan ' s famous comedy, The Rivals, presented in the theatre-in-the-round. The finale of the season was a presentation of the Broadway hit, The Heiress, which was one of the best productions seen on the South- western stage in a long time. The annual best acting awards for the year, presented by Mr. Springer, went to Ruth Lewis, Clara Mae Blocksom, Nancy Medley, Jerry Hardin, Fred Switzer, and John McClish. Below is another scene from the Mask and Wig Play- ers ' presentation of Julius Caesar. Shown around the body of Brutus (Norman Wahl) are John Wiggins, Joe Bert Sissom, Fred Switzer, and Bill Campbell. is running short, so a brief summary of the major events from Homecoming to graduation must, of necessity, ensue. In November eleven seniors of the university were named to Who ' s Who in American Universities and Colleges, Cardinal and Blue Key elected 10 stu- dents to their membership, the Attorney General of Texas, Trice Daniels, spoke to the student body, the Tirates rose from the depths to tie mighty McMurry 20-20, the Volleyball All-Stars handed the champion Tri-Delts a 33 to 19 licking and the Arts and Sciences faculty members battled it out with the Fine Arts faculty in a set-to of volleyball. In December, the Tirates journeyed to Mexico City and walloped the South of the Border gridders 47-6, several students went to Mineral Wells for the Texas Methodist Students Conference, the Southwestern Debate Team made a fine showing at the University of Texas Debate Festival, the traditional, beautiful Christmas Carol Service was held, under the direction of Dean Ferguson, and Christmas and New Year came, with a welcome vacation for all. In January Mr. McCoy and his Spanish students took a field trip to S.A., the Firate cagers started plaijmg in earnest, a name ' was selected for the Megaphone gossip column, the Speech, Drama, and Journal- ism Departments held a Conference which was attended by students from several Texas high schools, Judg- ment Day (with one e ) arrived and final exams were held, Barbara Gratz and Dan Farmlee exchanged wedding vows, etc. In February Southwestern celebrated its 110th birthday, the all-school Variety Show and Beauty Revue was held, with Phyllis Taylor winning top beauty honors, and the Kappa Pliis celebrated Founders ' Day. In March Dr. Eric W. Baker of London, England, delivered the third of the Willson Lectures, Charles Fromer, as usual, headed the Fall Distinction List, and five senior girls were nominated for Miss South- western, and D. A. Brown was elected in a run-off with Yvonne Wilson. In April came the Mugafoam, the Lois Perkins Chapel continued its steady climb, Dr. Finch was elected President of the University, the baseball team was really going to town, Mary Lynn Webb won a Danforth Award, the Faculty -Senior Takeoff was a huge success, as was the Sadie Haivkins Dance, and Albert Gore, Kelly Burkhart, and Marlee Baker were elected to the top Student Associations for next year. In May Alpha Phi Omega, The Heiress, and a Fish story from Finch came to the campus, the most successful Weekend at College and the coronation of Miss Southwestern were held, finals came and the 1950 graduates received their diplomas, to bring a fine year to an end. HOME COMING The 1949 Homecoming was, according to everybody concerned, GREAT. The University Intermural Sing, The Goethe Celebration, the Bonfire and Pep Rally, the Homecoming Parade, the barbecue dinner, a wonderful football game, and a big Homecoming Dance all added up to a mighty fine time. A lot of credit should go to Mr. Knox and the Homecoming Committee for a job well done. Pictures on the two pages following will give you a good idea of the work and play which made this one of the best of all S.U. Homecomings.
