It is the function of the University as an institution of the Church to use all proper means to refine the manners, protect the morals, improve the hearts of the young people, and lead them to Christ.

Luke 1:6 j5outI]foestern Pnifrersiig May 3, 1956 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 reminiscent music of happy moments plucked from cadenzas of serious thought, bouyant friendships, poignant griefs, ever-widening horizons, peace, and rest- ful security. Southwestern is more than all of these, more than the buildings, more than the people — it is a tradition, and an ideal. My dear Fellow Students: Recorded In the SOU ' WESTER of 1956 are the campus scenes, personalities, and events depicting the highlights of the year. Here is a record of student and faculty experiences that will become increasingly significant to you as the years pass. As you turn through these pages, they will recall the many happy and pleasant experiences you en- joyed as a student at Southwestern. Your faculty and I join with the SOU ' WESTER staff in expressing the hope that this year ' s annual will be a reminder of the dreams, hopes, and aspirations during a vital time in your life. We join in ex- pressing the hope for those who are graduating that life may be rich and abundant, and for those yet to graduate that you may have other years of great satisfaction on the campus here at Southwestern. Sincerely yours, WCF.mb William C. Finch THE KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY IOTA CHAPTER 3GORGETOWN. TEXAS May 21, 1956 Dear Faculty and Students: A young persons life lies ahead of him. For this reason perhaps we are less interested in what has been done than what can be done; our affections are aroused less by the traditional than by the experi- mental. When old Father Time has spread his mantle over our college days and has donned new garments, we hope that this 1956 Sou ' Wester will always serve as a reflector of the pood by-pone days. Getting out an annual is no picnic ' .! If we print jokes, folks say we are silly — if we don ' t, they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety — if we don ' t, they say we are too lazy to write. If we stay in the annual off- ice, we ought to be out rustling news, if we are out rustling news, we are not attending to business in the office. The earnest vilsh of my staff is that we have made few mistakes and that you take as much de- light in the 1956 Sou ' Wester as we have had in bring- ing it to you. We hope thst the theme of the annual, the Chapel windows, will serve as an inspiration for you, both today and the days to come. If oniy 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. As the moonlight comes over the Ad Building, etching in gentle relief the stone towers and ivy covered walls that have seen generation after generation pass by in search of a future. 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.

Timothy 2:24-25 REGISTRATION: Mrs. Rader takes time out from her many chores to register Bill Williams for the spring term. Registration is considered a headache for the faculty as well as the student, but is a necessary evil. The average reg- istration averages about 500 students each semester. RUSH WEEK: Rush week is the same year in and year out, but is conducted under a different set of rules nearly every year. There is the traditional stale cookies, the big smile, the hot box, the pressure routine, the dirty rushing and the broken hearts that go with every rush week; but if it were not for Rush Week there would be no Greeks. STUDY TIME: Van Valentine and Don Langston take time out to study for an English test. Most students average three hours a day study time, some more, others much less. It looks as if both Don and Van will be future members of Blue Key or Alpha Chi. INTRAMURALS: Pi Kappa Alpha ' s Sam Sullivan passes for a TD against the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, but it was all in vain. The Intramural program is one of the best in the state and needs but a few minor improvements. Coach Billy Huffman, as Intramural Director, has made, tennis, swimming, golf, and volleyball all a part of the Intramural program for the first time this year. BULL SESSIONS: Jim Morse seems to be telling some of the boys in Ruter Dorm a good joke or about his girl friend back home. It is amazing what all a person can learn outside of the class room. A good bull session is both interesting and a part of campus life that is long remembered. TAVERN LIFE: The tavern is the hang out for the stu- dents and the professors. Here Skinny Howard is check- ing up on Tena Wood ' s letter from home, while Hugh Bateman looks on in typical bewilderment. Also, students can pick up mail, buy school supplies, grab a quick snack, and tell the professors their sad sad stories. 1 fj V. f 11111 ' fy . ' . ' , - . KK wat Eg?? ' V JB I ft M 1 1 1 _., . a vs! mm ™ .iiimii -9 ' - ' . ? ' -- PRAYER: Freddy Trevino is one of the many that take time out for a moment of prayer. Most students away from home for the first time soon find out that there is a solution for any problem, and it can be found through prayer. MEETING THE FACULTY: Social life begins at South- western each year with the student-faculty reception, where everyone learns a lot of new names, and usually forgets them the next day. But it doesn ' t take long before you know most everyone in school well enough to call them by their first names. Southwestern is noted for its sincere friendly attitude that the students share for one another.

John 20:31 CLASSROOM: One of the advantages of a small school is the amount of individual attention received; here is a his- tory class under Dr. Hester that has but twenty students. Dr. Hester is one of the outstanding men of government in the Southwest and has baen an advisor to several Gover- nors and to President Franklin Roosevelt. CAMPUS SOCIAL: Campus life would not be complete without the socials that are a vital factor in bringing about the friendly atmosphere that prevails among the students. Mrs. Chambers helps herself to some tea at the Interna- tional Club open house. ASSEMBLY: Dean LUlrich makes an announcement before an assembly program. The assembly programs range from speakers to plays and music to man) other things. As- sembly also serves as a good time to sleep, study, or work cross-word puzzles. Assembly programs are a part of campus life and are essential, if one doesn ' t want demerits. GOODNIGHT AT L.K.: Sammie Weaver and Bettie Ham- by say goodnight as Curtis Hogwood and Mary Louise Key recite Shakespeare. The goodnight kiss is not only a typical scene in front of LK, but is one of the more enjoyable parts of campus life that is found from low- water bridge to the park. TAVERN: The students feel that Skinny ' s Tavern is the place to get together with good friends, play the latest bop records, and guzzle Evelyn ' s coffee. Before election time there are innumerable posters that tell you who to vote for; they are usually placed on the bulletin board along side Skinny ' s funny? jokes. CHAPEL: Here students hurry to lunch after another chapel service. Each week the ministerial students, visiting pastors, and Dr. Steelman conduct the service and do their best to bring the light to wayward students. W+irr VACATION TIME: Nancy Carter, Beth Harris, and Patsy Ginn get ready to head for Houston and home to spend the Christmas vacation. Vacation time is the happiest time of the school year, (except, of course, when finals are in process.) GRADUATION: This is the time of year that each senior looks forward to with great anticipation and joy to only find it an occasion of sadness. Only then does one realize how fast four years have passed and how much South- western actually means. One realizes the many friends one has made during this brief college encounter that one may never see again as they go home to the many different farms, towns, states, and countries. A long journey is at last ended! %■ ' ■ ■- il m m in Aftmmiairatton £ W I I 1 7 i i • i ib £r i 1 1 1 k V4 m m , ■ +t. 4. V « i ,!

Finch is recognized as one of the finest Presidents that has ever been at the helm of the Administration of Southwestern. Never has such a growth in scholarship, financial condition, and in spiritual thinking taken place under the leadership of any one man, such as it has during the seven year reign of President Finch. Because of his whole-hearted interest in Southwestern, and his untiring efforts for the success of all undertakings of the University; and because of his kindness, helpfulness, humor, optimism, sincerity, and as a genuine Christian gentleman, the students and faculty wish to pay an humble but all-meaning homage of thanks for a job well done. 16 I.

Pictured above are scenes of the various activities that took place during the week-end. Included in the large variety of activities were On Borrowed Time by Paul Osborn, produced by the Mask Wig Players in the new Alma Thomas Theatre; open house by various organizations, an art exhibit, lecture programs, an All School Dance, and an evening serenade by the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. Heek-Snli at (ftalfcg 32 April 14, 1956 The 1956 Homecoming was the largest and most successful in Southwestern ' s History. Miss Mary Eliza- beth Fox did a fine job and deserves a special tribute for her work on the homecoming. There were over 1100 Southwestern Alumni to return for the Alma Thomas Fine Arts Building dedication, open house, bar-b-que dinner, and get together of old friends.

LANDMARK OF EDUCATION From within these towers there is obtained a certain amount of edu- cation, and from the outside is ob- tained a certain amount of inspira- tion; and between the two comes a deep admiration for tradition, a tradition that has made the oldest university in the state, the most re- vered. DR. CLAUD HOWARD A just tribute goes to a man that has been one of the pillars of educa- tional strength at Southwestern for thirty-seven years. Dr. Howard has been known for many years as one of the outstanding intellectuals and professors of English throughout the nation. There are few people that have played such a large part in the lives of so many, as Dr. How- ard has done. 43 p iEpHtlmt IWta Pi Epsilon Delta is a national honorary drama tic fraternity.

Other members, without vote, are elected by each social organization. Jerry Fuchs, Vice President of the Student Body, serves as Chairman. The Honor Council acts as co-ordinator and mediator in helping students stay honest. The Honor system is based on the principal that a student will not violate the trust given him, when placed on his honor. Minus long robes and powdered wigs, these campus judges strive to impress upon the students the importance of doing their own work. The responsi- bility for continued existence of this Honor System rests, not only with the Honor Council, but with the integrity of each of the students. %m ut (ttmrtuU 74 Lindsey Forgets His Ponies Lindsey Caught, Guilty ! ! ! ))■ Why don ' t you move to Third Street? 75 MUSH WEEK 1956 MONDAY: Mush Week dawns; Sigs return from Mexico, Phis leave church, KA ' s break jail, Pikes sign the pledge.

The purpose of the Independent Association is to work for the welfare of students by providing social activities, work for their attainment, and by pro- viding an opportunity for training in the principals of a democracy in a re- ligious atmosphere. President B. A. Justice has done an outstanding job in coordinating and building the Independent Association into a powerful, bene- fitial, and smooth running organization. 99 .MkJ iaumta (Enx Mi B antk[W?Btmi i ) The presentation of Miss Dawnia Cox as Miss Southwestern broke all the traditional ceremony that had been seen for nearly forty years. The Royal Robe and Royal Crown were replaced with a program of modern dancing, jazz music, nara- tions, A Cappella Choir, and giving a list of each of the nominees accomplishments. The program was presented in the new Alma Thomas Fine Arts Building and was both different and beautiful. Dean Smith, Mr. Carl Berquist, Mr. Angus Spring- er, Mrs. Ester Weir, and Mr. James Valone were responsible for the program. A secret faculty com- mittee selects five seniors that they feel are most worthy of the honor of Miss Southwestern; the student body then votes for their choice. Dawnia Cox deserves the fine program given in her honor, the high tribute given her by the student body, and the high honor of Miss Southwestern. 101 j L - V ' MISS SHIRLEY OLIVER MISS JAMIE EDMONSON Nnmtn a for Mxsb ii 0utljtu?5tertt 102 MISS MARY ANN SPRINGER The highest honor that can be given to a girl at South- western is to be nominated for Miss Southwestern. A secret committee selects five girls from the senior class on qualities of leadership, scholarship, and dignity, to be voted upon for Miss Southwestern by the student body. MISS SALLY STARNES 103 ■Ml w 3 i V ■■■ ■■■■■i Bertha Marie Johnson All rl|nnl l auty . 104 Patty Whigham 2nd PLACE The 1955-56 Beauty Review was the most beautiful in the history of Southwestern as well as the most entertaining. Sou ' Wester editor Julian Lyles introduced Cactus Pryor, Master of Ceremonies, and presented roses to Mrs. Ruth Ferguson, to whom the Beauty Review was dedicated. Mr. Pryor, nationally known entertainer, was at his best with his quick wit and clever introductions of the beauty nominees. Miss Bertha Marie Johnson of the Independent Association and Miss Patty Whigham of the Delta Delta Delta sorority were chosen as the two most beautiful by a group of five judges from Austin. The theme of the program was that of a Paris Beauty Salon ' . Rhea Louise Gracey, 1954 All School Beauty, was the central figure in which the program was built around. The Phi Mu Sextet, Independent Trio, Miss Ann Colton Greer, Miss Carol Rogers, Miss Barbara Beadle, and Miss Louise Blackburn provided entertain- ment between the entrance of each group of organizational beauties. After the Beauty Review a dance was held in the gym in honor of the winners; music was provided by the band of Kenny Harris. 105 { Jane Anne Albin ALPHA DELTA PI BEAUTY 106 ft Kathryn Dillard DELTA DELTA DELTA BEAUTY 107 Jo Beth Serres DELTA ZETA BEAUTY 108 Marjorie Stout INDEPENDENT BEAUTY 109 Sue Godwin PHI MU BEAUTY 110 ■ ..:-■ ' .■-.., i:-,-:., ;.; : ;:-:, ■■,. .} ;. : ,, %vi;.

Led by All Conference Joe San Miguel the Pirates won eight of their first nine games then coasted to a third place in the Big State Conference race. The Pirates won ten games on their home court and lost but two, but were unable to score with any real consistance on the road. John Sessums, Bob Mulcahy and Cecil Ghormley added a small measure of height to the speed of Jackie Churchill and Sammy Weaver; this balance with the fine reserve play of Charlie Chance and the scoring of San Miguel proved to be a winning combination most of the season.

M. MEDLEY For nearly twenty years Randolph Medley has been Head Coach and Athletic Director at Southwestern. There have been good seasons and bad seasons but every season has been one of Sportsmanship, Determination, and Sincerity; each enveloped with a Loyalty to build men and win games. Southwestern is blessed with outstanding teachers like Dr. Howard, Dr. Gaupp, Dr. Hester, Dr. Godbey but along with these and the other fine teachers, there is a well loved coach who teaches an outstanding way to win in the old game of life. 136 The faithful! The fans from SU are not fickle, but remain loyal to the Pirates, win or lose. Cecil Ghormley looks as if he is singing the Alma Mata, but he is actually jumping for the rebound from a shot by Jackie Churchill The cheerleaders give pep and spirit to the fans as well as to the team. One of the reasons for the Pirates success this year has been because of this particular groups enthusiasm. Patty cake, bakers man; Mulcahy takes Ghormleys shot, as it falls short, and scores. San Miguel looks on in anticipation. Fast break, San Miguel gets set to pass to Chance, who scored on a layup. The Pirates used the fast break to great advantage throughout the season to make up for a lack of height. 137 Lois Perkins Chapel Cody Memorial Library 138 Fondren Science Building 139 Georgetown, Texas Jim West Gymnasium First Methodist Church ' ' ' Above: McCook, Medley, Howard, Richards, and Finch Mr. S.

Mr. Williams was given one of the first typewriters that was ever made and a birthday cake that was, as Mr. Williams said, Out of this world. The faculty sang Happy Birthday as Mr. Williams cut the cake; Mr. Springer looks on in anticipation of the first slice. There are few students in Southwestern that have the youthful energy, optimism, and vitality that Mr. Williams has; and there are few people any- where that have as many friends. Music and prayer are a vital part of the Chapel services and have played a part in the lives of every student that has ever attended Southwestern. Dr. Steelman, as Chap- lain of the University, has taught us that when one prays, he should pray as if everything depended on God, and to work as if everything depended on man. Dean Richards has taught us to appreciate and to realize the full measure of enjoyment that we receive from good music.
