M K SOUTHWESTERN ENGRAVING COMPANY Tori UfottK Dtllo Hniton SAN ANTONIO PRINTING CO SaniAntomoTtaai ‘Published by The Student Body Volume IV 2 Foreword We have gathered into the 1924 Brand bits of the history that we have made to¬ gether on the campus this year, a bright, piquant history of things attempted ,— of¬ ten with a reach beyond our grasp,—of things achieved by the dauntless spirit of youth. In these pages are reflected mo¬ ments of inspiration and high endeavor, hours of joyous abandon, days of the sim¬ ple routine of ivork and dear trivialities and aimless drifting. It has given the task a deeper significance to feel as we worked that we were building more than a year book; that we were helping to perpetuate the comradeship that has bound us so close during this happy year, to brand more deeply on all our hearts the dear SB. V i k S7 s 104 Dedication To one who has counseled us and has laughed with us; who has been firm al¬ ways, and yet always fair and kind; who has shown us the beauty of genuineness and broad tolerance and simple kindliness —to Mr. Morelock, our president and our friend, we dedicate this , the fourth volume of the BRAND. ni 4 5 O N the morning of the first matriculation day at Sul Ross, while fidgeting students chafed at the tediousness of waiting their turns and denounced the whole process of registration, a restless little first-year at the end of the line forgot her impatience, felt it slip away before the calm, the gentleness, and gracious kindliness of a faculty woman filling out blanks at a table near-by. “I like her,” the first-year whispered to her freshman neighbor; “she’s an English teacher, I’m sure—and a good one, too.” The freshman replied: “Well, what ever she teaches, she’ll make you work!” The first-year was right; Miss Brewer was an English teacher, and the “good one” had not told the story by half. The freshman was right, too, for Miss Brewer did make her students work as they had never worked before— taught them the joy of working, and that is an achievement possible only to the teacher of rare skill and personality. It has been nearly four years since that first matriculation day, and many of the first-years have had with Miss Brewer three whole courses in English, every hour of which is a happy memory. When they recall the time, the patience, the understanding which she gave to them, a group of thoughtless, ignorant boys and girls, they wonder how any one could be so gentle, so sympathetic and kind as she. In their minds she is ever associated with the finest in literature and in life, for through her own deep love of the beautiful she led them to discover the noblest and most beauti¬ ful in poetry, led them to discover, too, the innate fineness in their own hearts. And she shared with them not only the lofty, the spiritual, but the simple, happy activities of their campus life. For two years she supervised the Brand ; she was active in Sachems, which owes its name to her suggestion; she organ¬ ized and directed the Stevensonians; she helped to edit the first Skyline; and she wrote our beautiful Sul Ross song. If students wanted an idea, they had but. to press an imaginary button, and from Miss Brewer’s brain came trooping suggestions for toasts, flag-day speeches, costume parties, picnics and stunts. The first-years, who are graduating now, will take through life memories of the teacher who made work a pleasure; of the friend whose whimsical humor lent zest to their play; of the woman whose unselfishness and beauty of char¬ acter have helped to shape their ideals—Miss Ro e Sharp Brewer. m 0 7 Alma Mater, Dear Sul Ross Tune : amici. a 9?

Ii you have profited by the privilege which good fortune bestows only upon the favored few, you have learned many valuable things during your college days. Your mental horizon has: been pushed back in all directions; your cultural assets have been vastly enriched; and your spiritual nature has been broadened and deep¬ ened. You have learned the magic secret of “Open Sesame ’’ into the vast treas¬ ure-house of world literature; you have caught the modern scientific spirit of investigation, which seeks to establish conclusions by a verification of known facts; or it may be that you have learned a trade, which will serve you to make an honest living. But whatever your gain, do not assume that you have com¬ pleted your work. You owe society an obligation in return for the privilege which it has accorded you. Friendships too, you have formed, which will make your life better and richer that you made them. And in days to come you will recall many a word and deed of classmate and teacher which served to cheer you, when the read seemed rough, and helped you to find your truest and be t self. But all the lessons you have learned and all the friendships you have foimed will defeat the highest purpose for which you should attend college unless you use them primarily for the good of others, for the betterment of society. Education in its best meaning is altruistic, not selfish. College students owe it to society, to the State, to their Alma Mater, and to themselves to prove that higher education is not only a good investment in culture and in the increased ability to make more money, but that it is a good investment in a higher quality of citizenship, a good investment in character, a good investment in the ability to make the world a better place in which to live. You should be moral, intellectual, and spiritual leaders in every com¬ munity to which you may go. Let service be your motto, and in the end hap¬ piness will be your reward. To those of you who may return to us and to those who may not come this way again, remember always that your Alma Mater believes in you and that she has an abiding interest in your future. In your every failure and success we shall share with you the mortification of your defeats and the joy of your triumphs; you are a part and parcel of our life work. Very sincerely yours, H. W. Morelock. - (3V ' v©(- Book l ' —’Administration I 1 7 1 9 Mi ■I A Portion or the Biology Laboratory A Section of the Physics Laboratory 20 2 1 22 MISS EVA SWEET Associate Professor of Reading MR. M.

And likewise must this feeble sonnet be But token of the love I bear for you; The limitations of the flesh my plea, The depth of feeling yet I claim as true. With us, I hope, is true the statement old — Our mutual friendship’s better felt than told. 34 35 JOYCE CALLIHAM CHARLES SIMPSON Vice-President JESSIE PILGREEN HAROLD HARKEY LOLLA BUNTON LOISLYN ESTES CARRIE BROWN NEAL WHITE JOHN PRUDE—President KNOX REID VERA WILLIAMSON EUGENE KELLY J.

LOVE I sat on the side of the hill, And facing the sky in the west, Beheld the descending and radiant sun. A stream like a thread of pure silver Was winding its way Through a narrow valley Hemmed on each side By craggy walls and gray, rising abruptly To meet the sky. Blue clouds and heavy Hung low on the western horizon. Suddenly the sun Dropped behind the clouds. They changed to a deep, deep rose, Bordered by orange, Shading away to the right Into the richest purple. The stream and the hill Reflected the splendor; The craigs were then studded With diamonds and rubies; The silver transmuted to gold! Sj j 63 (graduates of the Class of 1923, Summer Session 5?

Few friends of Sul Ross have forgotten the story of how, in the fall of 1920, three ‘ ' little niggers” burst from their peanut shell and announced to the world the secret of the proposed loan fund organization. Other drives have followed — round-ups, “calf showers,” and occasional plain-out askin’ for money, and finally, our Easter egg shower of last April—which reminds us of the initial nest egg of the fund, a donation of $500 from a prominent business man of Houston. But the real work of the fund is not spasmodic as the casual observer might think. There is constant work for a small group of interested people, working persistently to gain the success of the project as a business institution as well as to have it function best in its real purpose—that of service to worthy students. Nor have the contributors to the loan fund been as out-standing as the one mentioned above. Pennies have come from the children; dollars from many sources, calves from classes, ranchmen, and business men; pigs—even a chicken is pledged to the fund. Training school students, Sul Ross Exes, and friends far and near have contributed to bring the Fund to a total of over $1,600.00. As we review the two and one half years of the Fund’s activity, though, it is not dollars or calves that are most important, but the students actually benefited. Thirty-two students have been materially aided in continuing their work in Sul Ross. Many of these are now teaching, and reports concerning them are most favorable. - - ’ let; -x. « «- 50 -- — - Book lll Orqanvzations iJ §p9tfHS)fc i i The Staff of The brand m 97 Walter S. Caldwell .

It was established in August, 1923, granted mailing rights the following month, and now has a circulation of five hundred cop¬ ies per month. The SKYLINE attempts to include in its pages whatever of athletics, of society, of news, of literature, and of nonsense seems to reflect the spirit and life of Sul Ross College. 60 s ) V I Ml OHMS OWOBHK „ � %«� r iar ' Z z fcjl SH r St ' %£ A Peril J rvt I; 4 and l-hich ?{ S - ’ ' ' fcfc.Yi—« r: vai FI-MIMM !

But the greatest contribution the Mask and Slipper Club has made to Sul Ross was bringing to Alpine Dr. Edward Abner Thompson, of the Curry School of Exp ression in Boston.

You would not miss your roaring, salty sea. To Those IDho Sing of IDater I’ve heard you sing so oft Of wailing seas, And heard you talk of slimy mussels On the shore, And the clinging of green seaweed To the rocks; And of how the waves sigh with you When you are weary; Of the dark clouds before The typhoon, And the languid hissing of the spray, And white-capped waves at dawn; And of how the foggy sea-air Grips your heart. I wish you knew my desert— My quiet, friendl y dream place, Where there’s only song of katy-dids At twilight In the grease-wood, And the cry of killdeer by the brackish pools. I wish you knew the pungent odor Of the sage-brush, And the sticky-sweetness of my cactus blooms. Ah, if you could know God’s desert hills At evening And hear the lonely wind sigh in the bunch-grass! I wish you knew my desert in the morning When the sun awakes beyond those shadow hills And paints their summits with its gold. I wish that you could know my waste land At the noon-day, When only mocking birds sing In the cat-claw, And everything is still, and quiet—hushed— To listen to their lyric melodies, Save the grasshoppers who play wild little tunes At random, On their fiddle-wings. ■ f General Athletic council is composed ✓of the officers,—president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer,—a representative from each of the classes, the president of the Girls’ Athletic Council, and the two directors of Phy¬ sical Training.

His technical ability and his person¬ ality have done much to carry the athletic teams over heavy odds due to scarcity of experienced material. He began the football season with only twenty-two men, the greater number of whom had had no football exper¬ ience whatever. He worked patiently on the rudiments of the game, ex¬ plaining over and over its elementary principles, and drilling his raw re¬ cruits on the fundamental operations. In the end his patience was re¬ warded, for the Lobo team won four of their six games. A similar situation prevailed in basket ball; and the team was successful in winning six out of eight games. At present, about twenty men are reporting for baseball. The question of a pitcher assumed serious proportions at the beginning of the season, but with his usual determination, the coach attacked the prob¬ lem, and now two men, despite their inexperience, bid fair to develop into creditable twirlers before the end of the season. Coach Graves has never let his desire to win betray him into tactics at all questionable. His code of ethics is as staunch as his professional effi¬ ciency is thorough. He has that indomitable fighting-spirit that regards no obstacle as insuperable. This spirit he instills into his men ; but along with it, he instills that inflexible code of ethics that regards fair-play as funda¬ mental to all sportsmanship. zEmm ' - -7 % • 1 ' A 2 - 76 The Football Season fTp- ' HE game with the Texas School of Mines on Thanksgiving Day closed the Ip successful football season of 1923, the first that the Sul Ross State Teach¬ ers College has ever seen. Fighting in almost every instance against odds of experience and weight, the Lobo eleven, which was picked from a group of twenty-two boys of high school and junior college rank, won four out of a total of six games played, three of which were of college class. Out of the twenty-two men who came out, Coach Graves created a football machine which, though averaging less than one hundred and fifty-five pounds to the man, de¬ feated every opponent of equal rank. A large per cent had never seen a foot¬ ball game before last year, and not a one had ever played college ball. Sul Ross boasts the youngest and the lightest team in the State. The Lobos, last season, amassed a total of 242 points to their opponents’ 65 points. In only one instance have they failed to play up to standard, and this was with the McMurry College Indians at Abilene. Although a hard game with the Marfa Independents only a few days before, plus a long ride in the mud to Abilene, may account partly for this fact, the Lobos do not offer it as an excuse, but admit that they were fairly beaten. The letter men for ’23 are as follows: Chancev, Church, R. G. Kelley, Anthony, George Hamilton, Wood, Prude, Ligon, and Lease. Prospects for next year are fine. Most of the old team will return, and we are assured of a substantial addition of new material. Mr. Graves, who has proved himself thoroughly competent to coach a team, will return to pilot the Lobos. The student body has proved itself one hundred per cent loyal in vic¬ tory and in defeat, and with the death of the season of ’23 anticipates eagerly the new pack of ’24. Following are the season’s games and their scores: Lobos vs Marfa, October 13.89-0 Lobos vs Pecos, October 20.40-0 Lobos vs Marfa, November 3.67-0 Lobos vs Marfa Composites, November 12.44-0 Lobos vs McMurray College, November 17.0-12 Lobos vs El Paso School of Mines, Nov. 29.2-52 77 d)Td) A AT miiA []) 78 I GILBERT, End and Halfback Weight 154 S. E. was one of the snappiest play ers on the team. He has a powerful kick, and he always made his pres¬ ence known to his opponents by his good tackling, line bucking, and speed. LEASE, Tackle. Weight 180 “Tubby” always made his 180 pounds count. He was a hard tack¬ ier, a good blocker, and a fair punt¬ er. An injury acquired during the latter part of the season eliminated him from some of the best games. WARD, Captain and Halfback Weight 170 “Cotton” proved his ability not only as a leader, but as a consistent, hard-hitting line plunger. His punt¬ ing and passing received many favorable comments from both his team mates and his opponents. 79 KELLY, EUGENE, End. Weight 140 Small but aggressive. C HANCEY, End and Quarterback Weight 160 Chancey was a sure, hard tackier, and a quarter who used his head. He shifted from quarter to end, and proved excellent as a smasher and a tackier. KELLY, R. G., Fullback, Tackle and Captain-elect. Weight 175 Plenty of speed and weight make Kelly a powerful battering ram, and his ability to follow up punts saved his team many yards during the sea¬ son. He featured at hard tackling. SMITH, End. Weight 143 Although Smith joined the pack af¬ ter it had been practicing for some time, he won himself a position on the first squad. He knew what ought to be done and was willing to do it. He never missed a pass during the season, and proved him¬ self valuable as a drop kicker. 80 Vh WOOD, Tackle, Center, and Guard. Weight 149 Wood was another inexperienced player who showed remarkable de¬ velopment during the season. He was a genuine utility man, ard play¬ ed good football at all three posi¬ tions. ANTHONY, End. Weight 150 “Ced” was an end-run smasher and a good receiver. He developed a knack of punting toward the last of the season. He had a good eye for diagnosing the opponents’ tactics. WHITE, Guard. Weight 170 White is the type of man that every coach desires to have on his team. He was good at knocking holes in the opponents’ line, and at blocking. WHEAT, Halfback. Weight 150 Wheat played in every game of the season. He was a good tackier, an accurate passer, and in short an all¬ round half. i ' yf Wd Amis 8 1 PRUDE, Guard. Weight 140 Johnny was a heady linesman and an expert blocker. CHURCH, Quarterback Weight 145 Church’s speed made him a menace to his opponents at all times. His specialty was broken field running, and hardly less significant was his ability as a tackier. LIGON, End. Weight 13 5 Ligon was adept at tackling, and was a good all-round little man. HAMILTON, Center and Tackle Weight 18 5 Overcoming the handicap of inex¬ perience, George developed into an aggressive center and an accurate tackier, and was adept at breaking through the line. 82 r U HE students and faculty of Sul Ross, by their consistent and enthusiastic support of the representatives of the school, the teams, during the whole of the football and basket ball season played a part in the winning of every game. Every student and faculty member stood unequivocally for the best interests of Sul Ross in victory and in defeat. The telegrams, the lusty cheers, and the personal messages of en¬ couragement from student to Lobo, did not miss their mark, but struck a response in the heart of every player. The rooters met every request of the Yell Leader with a spontaneous good nature and genuine school spirit that is more than commendable. It is the fight-spirit of the Lobos themselves. 83 basket ball Team, 1924 Standing—Graves (Coach), Bowles, Smith, Jones, Prude, Higgins, Patton, Joyce, Simpson, Church. Sitting—Adams, Ligon, Mellard.

HmtNS Center 4 . . • TOVtfNSSNO ' Guard Pp ClUlh 4 : ■ w NTH ONV Forward SHHe 86 PATTON—Lee Patton, left forward and Captain, was one of the mainstays of the team. His good defensive work and accurate goal shooting were the features of every game. It was in the last game of the season — against Mc- Murry—that he attained fame. That night he rang goals from every part of the court. Lee was always a fast, hard worker who played a very steady game. He was one of the team and not an individual star. HIGGINS—Larry Higgins, sorrel-topped center, was the pivot man of the team. His great height made him a power at the tip-off, a strong defensive player, and an accurate goal shot. He was suffering from a badly infected shoulder in the McMurry games, caused by several hard falls in the Miner games—nevertheless he played his usual good game. TOWNSEND—Wesley Townsend was one of the best running guards in this section of the state. He was a strong defensive player and an accurate goal shot. It was in the first game with the Miners that he played his best game—ringing five field goals. His value on offense is shown by the records which show him as low man with thirty-four points while high man had only forty. PRUDE—John Prude was the standing guard and a very good one. He stopped play after play in every game. He was never “off” but always played his steady, consistent game. He was the man who stopped the star forwards of the Miners and Indians, often holding them to no score whatsoever. SMITH—Guy Smith repeatedly proved his value to the team as a consist¬ ent, fast player, and a man who could always be depended upon to do his best. His goaling was of a high type, and his sportsmanship was above reproach. The fact that he was one of the lightest of the Lobos, did not keep him from being a terror in the eyes of the Indians at Abilene. ADAMS—John Adams, guard, did not get into every game but played a very steady game when he did play. His best games were the one with Marfa and the second one with the Miners. He will be a good man next year. ANTHONY—Cedric Anthony was the other forward. He always played a good defensive game and was an accurate goal shot. He made only one point during the season but, this came at a very critical moment in the second Miner game, when they were on the verge of passing the Lobos. He, too, will be a good man next year. I 86 i The basketball Season CT? VERY Sul Rossonian of 1924 remembers the spectacular performance of the Lobo Pack dur¬ ing the basket ball season, how they developed, despite a rather gloomy prospect, into college cagers of the first order, winning six of a total of eight scheduled games. We saw them pile up a score of 151 points to the opponents’ total 115, and watched breathlessly while they trounced the El Paso Miners in all three tilts of a series of three fast games. The same old fight that characterized the football Lobos was carried through the basket ball season, even to the last game, and every Sul Ross student was a Lobo enthusiast. The townspeople loyally rallied about the standards, and co-operated in every way to make possible a highly satisfactory season. The basket ball letter men for ’23 are Higgins, Patton, Smith, and Adams. 87 ' —as----- m ' vV ypy I V « 1 « 1 KilB Y j .t mmh ,0fl n CHANCEY, Catcher MELLARD, Pitcher MATTHEWS, Pitcher CHURCH. Pitcher SMITH, First Base (Captain) CALDWELL, Second Base ’ Sk , 88 89 T the time THE BRAND goes to press, base- ball, still in the prospective stage of develop¬ ment, is showing up well. The infield in particular promises to be airtight. The material in the pitching staff, though inexperienced, will probably develop, with a little practice, into a well-oiled, efficient ma¬ chine. Luck seems to be against the Lobos at the out¬ set of the season, for a large number of them have sustained injuries which interfere seriously with their practice. In a practice game recently, the first team trounced the scrubs soundly, this being the only event of interest to date. Although no schedule of games has been definitely decided upon, college contests will take place with the McMurry Indians at Abilene, and a series with various El Paso teams, including The School of Mines and The Junior College. Those winning letters in baseball will probably be as follows: Mellard, Harrison, Matthews, Warren and Caldwell. i 90 l n’t £ cor FUN PEEK, ON PE SUlF OSS HIRERS SPOf r FOUK, C 00 S 9H f?SH00T£B«S KLPlNf: cum Be PyS 9 2 t 1 r T— ' HE success of the athletic activities for women students of Sul Ross is due VJ-X to the untiring efforts of Miss Linda Lancaster, who, as the first director of Physical Education for Women, organized a system whereby recognition was given to those who acquired knowledge and skill in games and sports sponsored by the Physical Education Department of Sul Ross. During the years that Miss Lancaster was Director she helped the Students to establish the organization known as the Womens’ Athletic Association, in which membership is open to all women students and faculty members. The purpose of the organization is to create and maintain high standards of scholarship and sportsmanship. The Womens’ Athletic Council, which is the executive body of the Association, worked out the point system under Miss Lancaster’s supervision. According to the point system, athletic honors are awarded on the basis of points won in different sports, which are managed by the sport represent¬ atives on the Council. A student earns one hundred points, for making a team, and fifty points for membership on a squad. The requirements for points in¬ clude the observance of practice rules of the game, good scholarship, good sports¬ manship, and good health. The seasonal sports offered include tennis, rifle, handball, indoor baseball, volley ball, field hockey, and swimming, the last two having been added this year. Additional points may be earned by long hikes, observance of hygiene rules, and service on the Council. The awards made in the past have been as follows: for five hundred points, a Sul Ross pin: for nine hundred points, a sweater, and for one thousand points, a blanket. 93 GEMTRRL T6XR5 IMORTHTE XAj 1911 SOUTH TUA md V l p a. v e the iVi packha heard ’ ' ' the cal] and anjwcrcd 192 a SUL R05$ LOBO 94 Book U - The College l]ear I V r 97 Mollie Lee Bowles—Prettiest Girl. 98 99 Charles Simpson—Most Popular Boy. . jk .rk. :J 100 College Calendar � � � JUNE SUMMER SESSION, 1923 6—Opening of Summer Session. 11—Opening of the Summer Normal. 16—Installation of President Moreioek by the Hon.

He smokes a strong pipe, and he weapons has none. He goes not with the ladies, so he goes alone; So fiery a bachelor, the ladies all say “Was there ever a freshman like young Homer K?” He breaks not the rules—with care keeps them all, Says “Ain’t,” and dries dishes at Berkeley Hall, And I’m going to relate how he von all his fame By wooing a fair maiden, I eona by name. Another lover she had, fiery-topped, but they s y She had a real crush on our young Homer K. So boldly he entered Berkeley Hall, ’Mongst boarders, roomers, waiters and all; Up spoke Mr. Gilley, head shining like glass, To keep a big fight from coming to pass: “Thou comest not on business? Then get thee away. We want not thy blustering;, young Homer K.” “Sir, I sheiked for this maiden, but to little avail, Love swelled like a toad frog, but is gone like its tail, So I come in all humbleness to see if perchance The fair maiden will grant me a date for the dance. There are maidens in Sul Ross who any old day Would gladly be dated with young Homei K.” The maid colored slightly, the fish gave a wink, And before rival Larry had time e’en to think, Before Mr. Gilley his authority could state, Or e’en a good minute spend in mental debate, He grabbed her soft hand as if he would say: “You’re fooling Mr. Larry; you love me, Homer K!’ ' One touch to her hand, one word to her ear, “Biff!” went her hand, and the yell you could hear Was “Ouch” as the screen door on its strong hinges swung And out o’er the porch to the shrubbery he sprung: “Oh, please don’t, I’m leaving, I’m getting away. And I ' m not coming back,” said young Homer K. There was running and yelling ’mongst the Berkeley Hall clan, The rumble and bumble and rattling of pan As cooks, waiters, and boarders in panic did flee With haste and disorder the tragedy to see While flying like wind, a bachelor to stay Fled sorrowful and repentant our young Homer K. 100 DORMITORY DOINGS . 107 Faculty Dance 9? 93F r A FORMAL dance for the Sul Ross faculty members was held at the court house on Wednesday evening of April 9. As each lady entered the room, she was given a pearl and gold vanity which contained both red and orange rouge. Each gentleman was presented with a pearl cigarette holder. Both favors were immediately put into use. The hall was lighted only by the moon, which cast its silvery beams through the windows, making silhouettes of the ladies in evening gowns and the gentlemen in dress suits. In one corner stood the punch bowl in a booth decorated with yucca and dandelions. The music was provided by the Simp¬ son Symphony Orchestra. Every fourth dance was a flea-hop, and every fifth a tango. The twentieth dance was ladies’ choice, and the fortieth was gentlemen’s choice. There were five extras during the evening. In one of these the program was varied slightly with a very excellent vocal solo by Mr. Gilley, entitled “Last Night on the Back Porch.” The occasion was made more pleasant by the charming, gracious, and at the same time dignified, chaperones: Misses Joyce Calliham and Sally Ballew, and Messrs. Homer Ferguson and Donald Church. Prize Offered To the student or person who can induce Professor Penrod or Professor Gilley to speak in College Assembly shall be awarded the Carnegie Medal of Valor. This award has been offered as a last resort after years of useless and tedious trying on the part of the entire college personnel to induce the above-named profes¬ sors to contribute their share to the assembly exercise. It is to this means that we resort after every other known means has been exhausted. RULES OF THE CONTEST 1— The contestant shall not assault these delinquent professors with intent to murder. 2— The contestant shall not use blackmail to induce the victims to speak. 3— The contestant shall not use physical violence in any way to induce the said professors to speak. 4— The contestant shall not bribe said professors with lollypops, chewing-gum, licorice, and the like. 5— The contestant shall not use physical charms to induce the said professors to speak. 6— The speech of the professor shall be prepared and delivered by the professor himself. % 7— The speech shall be at least fifteen minutes in length. 8— The professor shall stand on the stage and face his audience in delivering his speech. 9— The professor shall present his speech in such a way as to hold the attention of his audience, and, in fact, hold his audience. 10—The professor shall not have both hands full of copious notes which will pre¬ vent his speaking freely. It is hoped that each and every person who hears, sees, or reads this announce¬ ment will enter whole-heartedly into the contest and abide by the ten rules cited above. It affords a chance to serve the public as well as to achieve personal glory. 108 Killed With Birdshot and a Shotgun. - A A Ten-Point Buck. 109 1 10 Student Proprieties Not less than four social engagements, preferably on school nights, are allowed. Callers should never leave before twelve. Students in Sul Ross State Teachers College are required to attend all public dances. Any failure to comply with this regulation will be regarded as an outward rebellion against authority, and the offender will be governed accordingly. Students who make passing grades in more than three subjects must either withdraw from the college or be reclassified. The hall is the gathering place for students. It was built for this purpose, and it is urged that students do everything in their power to promote the social spirit there. It is hoped that the students will take especial pleasure in “draping themselves” on the front steps and around the halls, since this adds to the aesthetic effect of the school. College dances will be held in the girls’ gymnasium. Only new style dancing will be permitted. “Cutting” classes is an honor to the school and a courtesy to the faculty mem¬ bers. He who does this is an academic patriot. If a student is dissatisfied with a subject, he may drop it at any time. It is requested that the student shall not disturb the office or the authorities with mat¬ ters of such minor importance. No girl should make herself conspicuous by being seen in a car in the com¬ pany of a boy and another girl. This is the height of impropriety. Auto riding by young ladies and young gentlemen is considered a beneficial outdoor sport, and is sanctioned at all times. If at any time during the day a student should grow tired chewing his gum, he should put it on a fountain. CONCLUSION We hope that the students will keep in mind at all times that Sul Ross State Teachers College is a teacher-training institution, and that its graduates must necessarily represent the acme and epitome of modern social usages. The above rules have been made to suggest some of the modern practices of social etiquette, and to serve as a gentle reminder of the standards of the institution. Sophomores “P. Q.

Article I—NAME This club shall be known as “The Comb and Vanity Club of the Sul Ross State Teachers College.” Its motto shall be, “Let u s thank God for imparting to us poor, weak mortals the inestimable blessing of Vanity”—Thackeray.

She must be an adept at combing her hair during class, and yet assuming an intelligent and interested look while listening to the subject matter on hand. l l a PREAMBLE We, the Veterans of Sul Ross, deprecating the infirmities of senility and dotage which set us apart from the youths of the college, hereby agree to be governed by the following constitution: Article I.

It will mean so much more to Miss Lancaster with your signatures in your own hand.” Troy—-“Not a bad looking car you have there, Truman; what’s the most you ever got out of it?” Truman—“Six times in one mile.” Lela Verge — “I wish I could improve my dancing.” Alfred—“The feeling is mutual.” Miss Elliott: “What have Charles and Joe Ella named the baby?” Aunt Grace: “They aren’t going to name him—They’ll just wait until he goes to Sul Ross and gets a number.” Guy’s version of “The Cotter’s Saturday Night” was followed by “The Return of the Native” (Warner). One day last week Mr. Penrod, while putting some new shingles on his house, fell on his back porch. You can’t afford to miss Miriam Webb’s latest novel, “The Second Fall of Troy.” l 20 Notice on the bulletin board: “Found a knife. Owner can get it by seeing me and describing same. Penciled comments: “You are very beautiful,” “Haven’t you a mirror?” “Daught Jaxon”—“I wonder why poor Johnny Prude jump¬ ed in the river?” Dot—“There was probably a woman at the bottom of it.” Anna Marie—“Poopie, these shoes hurt me every step I take.” Mr. Stigler — “Well, take longer steps, and there won’t be so many hurts.” A stranger appeared at the college recently, and made her¬ self at home in so natural a way that faculty and students thought she must be an ex¬ student. Only after she had reported to class did it tran¬ spire that the mysterious stranger was Stella Hext, dis¬ guised by wearing her hat well down over her head. Knox — “What’s the matter with the President’s eyes?” Edith Cooper — “They’re all right as far as I know. Why?” Knox—“Well, I had to go to see him in his office yesterday, and he asked me twice where my hat was—and it was right on my head all the time.” 1 2 1 im u m U ft- if m A if ? r er ' . i COl.ii.Mtf M Stockton ltd didn ' t hud if he blast -— S - c Wf 4 . died ivlthout a sound They opened up his heed oho found ' E.XCLLS OR !

BACK TO METHUSELAH The leading role of Methuselah is to be taken by Mr. H. E. Allen, who is seek¬ ing to escape the fountain of perpetual youth. A HAIR-RAISING ESCAPADE Mr. C. A. Gilley will take the part of the leading character in this near-tragedy. THE TWIN LULLABIES In this delightful drama of domestic life, Mr. F. G. Walker will play an im¬ portant part, that of the floor-walker. THE ROD THAT RULES Mr. P. M. Penrod, who had to break a number of engagements in New York on account of ill health, will reappear on the stage in this play. THE UNBROKEN LINE The important parts in this forceful drama will be taken by the famous stars, Isabel Young, Inez L. Evans, Bertha Mae Parsell, and Clema Billingsley. I HAVE AN IDEA This is a new play, but the students will be very much pUascd with it and with the chief character, Miss Anne Aynesworth. The following notes were found between the biology room and the annual office: Dear Walter: Please don’t put in the annual about the time I got carried up the steps. You wont, will you? M. L. B. Walter—if you say anything in that old Bmnrl about who you saw ' me k..(oh you know what Urn talking about) last night I’ll see you after school. G. K. Mr. Editor-in-chief—Please don’t tell about that poetry I wrote to Ward when he was sick. I’ll write you some, if you won’t. E. G. Walter, you aren’t going to say anything about that letter you saw me give my girl in the library today are you? E. S. Dear Walter—If you put it in the Brand that I ate that raw weenie, I’ll publish one of your themes. L. V. J. CThis Matter of Courses Shelia, a prominent freshman who made five G’s during the winter term, was advised to reclassify. She did, and the following excellent report went home to her delighted parents at t he spring mid-term: 1. Science of Eye-Rolling.A 2. Frontstepology.A+ 3. History of Jazz .A 4.

He had moped all day. (And Townsend is usually a cheerful soul.) His gloom had settled upon the entire household. And then, suddenly, it lifted. Townsend snatched his hat and darted out, with the light of high purpose in his eye. When lie returned, he was followed by the majority of the masculine element of Sul Ross. Townsend was himself again, gay, reckless, self-assured. “Gentlemen,” he began, “actuated solely by altruistic motives, I have determined to put into circulation certain valuables which I no longer need, and which may be of use to you. The lady with whom these—ah—emblems are associated has married a less handsome man, and I feel that T am justified in this course. See, gentlemen, the exclusive line T am offering.” He opened his trunk, and tossed upon the table, vanities, lip-sticks, hand¬ kerchiefs, pictures, a gold belt buckle, and other masculine articles, evid¬ ently of the gift variety. The appraising eyes of the prospective pur¬ chasers rested on the pictures—some dozen of them in frames of varying size, shape, and material. Townsend was quick to scent a sale. “This beautiful picture, gentlemen, what am I bid for it? This picture is a work of art. Nor is it without practical as well as aesthetic value. Not only will it brighten your room on a long winter evening; it will make your best girl jealous. How much am I bid for it?” The bidding was too rapid to transcribe. When at last the auctioneer’s ham¬ mer fell, the picture went to Ward Simpson. The other articles provoked the same frenzied bidding. The last “emblem” was sold before Townsend had exhausted his auctioneer’s line. “And now, gentlemen,” said Townsend, “you will excuse me; I have a date with Polly. Make yoursches at home, and—er—the—er—money, please?” “Oh sure, Townsend. Go right on. Pay you on the first,” said Hub. “Same here, Townsend,” came a chorus from the other purchasers. “The first!” Townsend roared. “What’d you think I’m having this sale for? I’ve got a date, I tell you, the first one, with Polly. The Candy Kitchen doesn’t charge: you fellows pay me NOW.” And Townsend, the suave and gracious, became a veritable Shylock. But even Shylock can’t collect money where money is not. The entire cash capital of the bidders was seventeen cents. Townsend shoved his guests out, slammed the door, and disappeared in the darkness. He “had seen the show,” and so he and Polly spent a nice, quiet evening at home. t I Mr. Gilley—“How do you know that prehistoric people did not have slates?” Olin Lincecum—“Because it says in the Bible that they multiplied on the face of the earth.” Guy Smith, when interviewed recent¬ ly by a SKYLINE reporter, gave out this bit of counsel as his parting mes¬ sage to the freshmen of the future: “It is not the part of discretion to lay bare one’s heart in an autobiography to the extent of recounting his early love af¬ fairs. If, however, one cannot resist the urge, then he should not, with the fatuousness of the average writer, con¬ sent to having the autobiography read in class—particularly if the object (or one of the objects) of his early love is a member of the class.” Charles Simpson — “I want my hair cut.” Barber—“Any particular way.” Charles Simpson—“Yes, off.” Gene (to Executive Council):—“I know my grades are bad. I just don’t have time to study, because the girls all dote on me so.” Polly (also present at the council meeting): — “Well, I’m sure he could find plenty of antidotes.” Troy Hickman was seriously hurt the other evening. While opening a can of preserves he cut himself in the pantry. 1 25 120 I r X3ilAci£ 7Jov 30 G Gl) kzrv y TLO T J un£ c2 “■ Cfwis k ALPINE.TEX.- -fr CA MAN WHO TELLS HIS STORY IN PRINT STICKS TO THE TRUTH; | r HIS GOODS ARE WHAT HE SAYS THEY ARE-AND MORE.
