I am proud of the devotion, industry, and self-denial that you have exhibited because of your love for the institu- tion that is soon to count you among its alumni. To bring this project to the point of success has required that you exhibit the high qualities which a college is designed to train. As members of the student body your qualities of mind and character represent a cross-section of our student body. I am therefore proud of a student body that is typified in the per- sonnel of El Rancho Staff of 1934. High purpose, unselfish devotion to that pur- pose, and persistence in pursuing a project to a suc- cessful end are the qualities that constitute great citizenship. After viewing your fine display of these splendid qualities, I feel that the work done at A. and I. College in behalf of the State of Texas has not been in vain. E. W. SEALE. BOARD OF DIRECTORS R. L.

For the recognition and promotion of scholarship among its students, the Texas College of Arts and Industries has an organized body, Alpha Beta Chapter of Alpha Chi, formerly the Robert Bartow Cousins Chapter of the Scholarship Societies of the South. This general organization was founded in 1922 by Dr. H. Y. Benedict of the University of Texas. In order to meet the increased demands made on the scholarship society the Executive Coun- cil, now the National Executive Council, which met at Denton February the twenty-first and twenty-second, 1934, decided to change the name of the organization to Alpha Chi, In accordance with this system, since wTe are chapter number twenty-six, our chapter designation is now Alpha Beta. The expanded organization now is national in scope instead of regional. I ALPHA CHI Officers JOHN GILLETTE EVELYN LOECKLE BEATRICE STOKES __________ LOUISE UNDERWOOD Sponsors MRS. MAY H. DICKENS MR.

The programs, carefully planned and carried out, have been arranged with the idea of the pleasure, culture, and enjoyment. The club was fortunate in having the opportunity of presenting as guest speaker in assembly on one Monday morning Dr. Judd Mortimer Lewis, poet and prose writer of Texas, contributor to the Houston Post, and first poet laureate of Texas.

The chief purpose of this organization is to foster more social contacts and acquaint the members with engineering prin- ciples and industries. Social standing is placed on a higher level by the sponsoring of picnics, inspection tours, and dances. The Engineers are the “builders” of industry, of friendship, and of a bigger Texas College of Arts and Indus- tries. Officers, Fall Semester KAY BALLARD DREW MAYFIELD ROBERT RUMBLE ALFRED DAVISSON ..

EX-STUDE NTS ASSOCIATION KERMIT BALLARD Vice-President LOYCE ADAMS Secretary HERSCHEL CUDD President The Ex-Students Association is an organization consisting of all students who have attended the Texas College of Arts and Industries. One of the purposes of the Association is to present to the people of Texas, particularly South Texas, the benefits of having such an institution as the Texas College of Arts and Industries in their midst. One of the accomplishments of the Ex-Students Association has been the establishment of the Robert Bartow Cousins Loan Fund, which provides funds for those who otherwise could not receive a college educa- tion. The efficiency with which this fund has been handled is shown by the fact that it has reached twenty per cent of the students, A further aim of the Ex-Students Association is to lend its influence to the growth and development of the Texas College of Arts and Industries. The Ex-Students are working to the end that this College may maintain its rightful place as one of the major institutions of Texas. STUDENTS’ COUNCIL The students of the Texas College of Arts and Industries make their desires known and exercise their rights through the Students' Council, which is composed of student representatives duly elected by the Student Body. Among the manifold duties of the Students' Council, the three out- standing ones are: to regulate and supervise all student activites in an im- partial manner; to promote a friendly understanding and general coopera- tion among the faculty and students; and, to uphold and practice the prece- dents of growth and development. Its aim is to develop a stronger student spirit; to advocate good sportsmanship; and to install Texas College of Arts and Industries as the Acme of South Texas.

Faculty Advisor ATHLETICS COACHING STAFF John Mark Dixon Freshman Coach Robert M. Hodgkjss Freshman Coach C. E. Jewett Assistant Coach To The Javelina Graduates: My first realization of the extent to which the twelve men who have played their last year on the Varsity football team will be missed came to me the first few days of the Spring Practice just ended. It was like working with a new group, and with due respect for the new men out this Spring, I failed to see demonstrated the fierce tackling of a Hodgkiss or a Kercheville, the fine blocking of a Rich or Couch, the elusiveness of a Cox, the calmness and determination of a Phil- liber, the all round end play of a Sadler or a Teel, the steadiness of a Rogers, the strength of a Mc- Cauley or a Fry, or the passing ability of a Speer. The above men who have won a total of 38 letters have been the backbone of the fine teams of the past several years. To them is due most of the credit for bringing A. I. athletics out of obscurity to a position wThere they are now respected and admired by all college teams and football fans in Texas. In basketball Sadler, Rogers, and Harris, with their fine all round play have come to the graduation point and leave with a wonderful record as mainstays on a team which won over Texas University, Texas A. M., and Loyola University of New Orleans. In conclusion, let me say to you football and basketball men that your courage, deter- mination, skill, intelligence, and fine ti-aits of character have been a constant inspiration to me, and I appreciate more than words can express the many contacts I have had with each of you. Your fine work in athletics is traditional at A. I., and the record you have made will be extremely difficult for future teams to match. BUD McCALLUM. A. Y.

The Texas College of Arts and Industries has just com- pleted another very successful year in athletics. Both coaches and men are to be congratulated. May I take this opportunity to thank, on behalf of the members of the Athletic Council, the faculty, the pep squad, the band, and the entire student body for their splendid cooper- ation. The increasing interest of the student body and faculty in intra-mural athletics will mean much for our college in the years to come. Sincerely, J. R. MANNING, Chairman, Athletic Council. FOOTBALL FOOTBALL Martin Hodgkiss Co-Captain Tackle Basil Philliber Co-Captain Halfback Robert Rich End Javelinas 0 R ice 7 September 23 The A. I, Javelinas opened the 1933 season with the Rice Owls of Hous- ton. After a great defensive battle by both clubs the Owls pushed over a mark- er in the closing minutes and kicked the extra point for the only score of the game to win 7-0. If a star could be nam- ed for the game, it would be big Bob Rich, 190 pound wingman for the Hogs. He turned in a good game on defense and offense. Other A. I. stars were Hodg- kiss in the line and Barnes and Philliber in the backfield. Javelinas 25 Randolph Field 2 September 29 The Hogs defeated the Randolph Field Flyers of San Antonio in their sec- ond battle of the year 25-2. The Speer to Dixon pass combination produced the most spectacular play of the fray. Both went into the game with time left for just one more play in the first half. On this play Speer faded back, heaved a beautiful 30 yard pass to Dixon, who then traveled unmolested the remaining 40 yards to the goal line. Vernon Couch Quarterback Albert Cox Halfback Clifford Sadler End FOOTBALL Javelinas 19 McMurray 0 October 6 A 19-0 victory for the Hogs was the result when the McMurray Indians trav- eled to Kingsville on October 6. McNabb was the star of the game as he went over twice for scores in the first quar- ter, one of them coming on a 50 yard return of a punt. Javelinas 0 Texas A. M. 17 October 14 Coach Bell’s A. M. Aggies furn- ished the Javelinas with opposition in what many consider the big game of the year for the Hogs. Although defeated 17-0 by the Farmers, the Javelinas played some classy ball under the lights in San Antonio. McCormick, Javelina center, in spite of a fractured arm, was easily the outstanding defensive star of the game. Domingue, the Frenchman who had given the Hogs so much trouble the season before, was again the spark- plug of the Aggie attack. He scored a touchdown, kicked an extra point, and a field goal to talljr the points on the Hogs. John Mark Djxon Co-Captain Elect Halfback Dick Kercheville Quarterback Jon D. McCauley Tackle Allen Barnes Fullback Harmon Teel End Gerald Fry Guard FOOTBALL Charles Holden Co-Captain Elect Tackle Lowell Ramey Fullback Earl Harbes Guard John Rogers Tackle Lupe King Guard Johnny McNabb Half back Javelinas 37 Sam Houston 6 October 27 After a week of rest, the Hogs trav- eled up to Huntsville to plaster a 37-6 defeat on the Sam Houston Bearkats. After a slow start, the Hogs found themselves in the second half and were irresistible. The Hog line functioned as a unit, and Ramey and Dixon were the most spectacular backfield performers. It was in this game that Ramey found himself, proving a terror to the remain- ing teams on the Javelina schedule. Javelinas 37 Daniel Baker 7 November 4 The big home-coming game of the year, the tilt with Daniel Baker at Kingsville, turned into an easy victory for the Hogs by the score of 37-7. A large crowd was present to see the Hogs and cheer them on. Cox and Barnes scored twice each to lead the Hogs. The feature of the game was Cox’s 70 yard return of a punt. FOOTBALL Javelinas 39 Abilene Christian College 0 November 16 After an open Saturday the Hogs traveled to Abilene to defeat the Abilene Christian College Wildcats by the big- gest margin of the year, 39-0. Ramey and Barnes, with three touchdowns each, were the outstanding Javelina per- formers. The completeness of the Hog victory was shown by the fact that the Hogs counted 32 first downs while hold- ing the Christians to 2, and that the Hogs were not forced to punt a single time. Javelinas 36 Schreiner 0 November 25 In the final game of the year, the Hogs came out with a well-earned vic- tory over Schreiner 36-0. Ramey was again the star, with Philliber going over twice to lead the scoring. Ramey kicked four extra points in this game, while Hodgkiss blocked a Mountaineer kick for a safety. Jack Schuepbach Halfback Vernon Huston Quarterback Richmond Massey End F.arl Hutchison Center Glenn Frazier Reserve Charles Cumberland Reserve REVIEW OF SEASON Coach “Bud” McCallum’s 1933 Javelina football team had one of the most success- ful seasons ever enjoyed by an A. I. athletic team. Of the total of eight games played, the Hogs were victorious in six and lost two, both of the losses being to members of the Southwest conference, Rice and A. M. The Hogs extended their record of being undefeated outside the Southwest conference to three straight years. In the matter of scoring, the Hogs set a good record. Their offensive stars scored a total of 193 points, while their defense was good enough to hold the opponents to 39 points. Twenty-one of these points were scored by Rice and A. M. The impression left in Abilene by the Javelinas is expressed by the following excerpt from the Abilene Morning News of November 17, 1933: “A magnificent, irresistible football team came to the Abilene field yesterday. It wore the blue of Yale, executed its plays from the Notre Dame shift, and charged with the fury of Army, Michigan, Duke, and Georgia. This All-American combina- tion is known as the Texas A. I. Jave- linas, and if they are not big time foot- ballers, the fans of Abilene will not see a big time football team any time soon. “A. Vs seven linesmen charged as one. opening holes of the proverbial horse- and-wagon calibre. Through them the Javelina backs dashed, virtually ignoring the secondary tacklers, and stopping only when ganged by three or four Abilene players. After A. I. received the kick- off, only eight plays elapsed before the first touchdown. Ramey made it from the eleven yard line, stopping on the five yard stripe to pick up the Wildcat backfield and give it a ride over the goal.

I. won fifteen and lost five for a percent- age of .750. The losses were to Texas University (twice), Rice Institute (twice), and Stephen F. Austin Teach- ers. In these twenty games the Hogs scored 834 points for an average of 41.7 markers per game. The opposition scored 619 points for an average of 30.9 markers per game. The greatest margin of defeat suf- fered by the Hogs was 11 points in the first Texas U. game. The greatest mar- gin of victory was 44 points in the first Corpus Christi game. The highest score run up by the Hogs was in the Loyola game with 66 points. Three games went into overtime periods, with the Hogs winning in all three.

I. opened the 1934 tennis season with only two lettermen back: George Stephenson and Clifford Sadler. Sadler was lost to the squad for most of the season but managed to get into some of the last matches. Three mem- bers of last year’s freshman squad were added to the team: Tom Perry, James Doughty, and Delmar Ross. The other men, Stanley Baker, John Rogers, Louis Shaper, Tom Denson, John Gillette, and G. C. Parrish, were out for the first time. Tom Perry was elected Captain by the squad in the fall. Matches were won over the Corpus Christi Independents (twice), A. I. Ex-Students, and Sam Houston Teach- ers College. Losses were suffered to South West Texas State Teachers Col- lege, North Texas State Teachers Col- lege, and to Edinburg Junior College (twice). The following men, ranking in the order named, were awarded letters: Stephenson, Perry, Baker, Doughty, Shaper, Rogers, and Sadler. Sadler, Rogers, and Shaper will be lost to the team next year through graduation. However, we will have a fairly experi- enced team with Stephenson, Perry, Doughty, Baker, Ross, and Parrish back. Bramlette of the Freshmen is expected to make it interesting for the veterans. POLO Polo is rapidly gaining prominence in the athletic interests of the college. A large number of students are familiar with the game, and definite arrange- ments are being made whereby next year polo will become a part of the offic- ial athletic program of Texas A. I. Several college students play with the Kingsville team in the South Texas Polo Circuit. This circuit is composed of teams from Robstown, Odem, San Diego, Corpus Christi, and Kingsville. These students are: Frank Moss Bar- nett, Ben F. Wilson, Jr., Norvel Mc- Cauley, and Edgar Erard. Frank Moss Barnett Norvel McCauley Captain Ben F.

JAVELINA TUSK In order to prevent anyone from reading it through without real- izing it, I wish to state that the following section is the razz section, and is rather hopefully supposed to be amusing. To be sure, it is not as amusing as the rest of the book, but that is only because the worthwhile study of camera fright which you so proudly refer to as “My Picture”, and those notable achievements, the Club Write- ups, rest conspicuously on pages preceding this one, thereby rendering them unbeatable as far as humor is concerned. May it be understood that this section is in no way intended to be an instructive dissertation on small schools, as small schools being the sensible necessities they are, will no doubt continue to flourish long after the writer is gone, and no longer considers the terrible stuff he writes as funny. At an a rate, this is the razz section. If you can't laugh at it, then please do me the favor —- and try not to cry. Signed, DEDICATION Far to the East of San Francisco, and far to the West of New York, you will find Katabaw — a little Southern town nestling in the midst of a great, rolling, and vastly unproductive plain —and boasting neither of opportunity, scenery, wealth, resources, population, or future. But it does boast however, no mat- ter how justly, of Katabaw University, a small state school located within its limits, engaged in the sober manufac- ture of a stereotyped product, who later will be expected to make a living, ap- pear respectable, play bridge, frown on big business, converse occasionally of books he should have read (but hasn’t) and vote intelligently — although the last is a large order, and rather far fetched. Katabaw University is not a place of beauty, either intellectually or spiritual- ly. It is not prone to worry over its sanity or morality, or its lack of either. Its students are real people, stubbornly unimaginative people, and intensely normal people, who at times steadfastly believe in, and firmly advocate: Darwin- ism, Christianity, Communism, other people’s business, mild class attendance, Conservatism, scholarship, the predom- inance of America, the toleration of England, celibacy, freedom, Sunday School, getting drunk, staying sober, George Bernard Shaw, faculty omni- potence, the subjugation of the Orient, serenades, Roosevelt, necking, football, Lionel Barrymore, and Jeffersonian Democracy. The faculty, for the most part a nar- rowly broadminded group, are some- what conscientiously occupied in a half- hearted reformation of the students, in enthusiastic (and interesting) discus- sion of each other, and in attempting to maintain an appearance of moderate in- tellectuality, although the latter prac- tice is often rather strained and painful, due to a widespread talent for bad act- ing. All in all Katabaw University is enormously similar to countless other small schools scattered throughout the country. Individuality is missing in its list of theoretical virtues. But perhaps it does not wish to be individual! In spite of its many failings there is, how- ever. a certain strength in its endeavors, a complacent warmth in its mediocrity, and a comparative freshness in its scandal. The next few pages will be devoted to an attempt to picture for you, with some degree of accuracy, life at Kata- baw’. We can only hope that you will find new interest in the drab and com- monplace, and possibly finish with a deeper appreciation of the peculiar. KATABAW STUDENTS The student body at Katabaw may be pleasantly likened to the ordinary and standardized sleeping accommodations on a Pullman car. There is an upper and a lower berth, both of which are equipped with a hammock (to put your shoes and baby in), and a straw mattress, a lumpy and long-lived article, not primarily calcu- lated to insure perfect rest. Both are travel- ing in the same direction, both have the same locality as an objective, and both are made up by a tired darky named George. But only the lower berth has windows. Windows are dirty but transparent med- iums through which tons of scenery may be observed, and small amounts appreciat- ed. And windows are the outside interests of college life. The inference, of course, suggests the two distinct divisions present in the Kata- baw' student body, namely: those who study, and those who wonder why the others study. The studious type is the uncompromis- ing majority. They are creatures discon- certingly clodlike, whose initiative ends in a blind stagger to the nearest reference book. Dullness is the solitary result of their zealous concentration on dull subjects, and their pitifully earnest groping after higher knowledge. Pool halls, to them, are the powerful rat-traps of iniquity, churches represent mankind’s noblest efforts to be noble, and personality, like vaseline, is a by-product of coal tar, cannot be eaten, and may be purchased in natty boxes at the corner drug store. They sit in the lib- rary four years and emerge with a dis- torted sense of values, a virtuous distrust of human nature, and a comforting belief in the theory that individual depravity is highly unnecessary, and may be pleasant- ly avoided by telling children while young. Their life is a well planned, well oiled, never ending routine that will eventually (they think) lead to the “better things of life” including a home with an electric re- frigerator, four progeny, agreeably like themselves, and a delightful nap on Sun- day afternoons. For several reasons, ob- vious, and honest, they consider the other division a reliable pack of impossible pro- fligates. Their reasons are not entirely unfound- ed or imaginary. The members of this sec- ond division, however, are far more empty- headed than they are dissolute (although they do not want that fact advertised), and are appropriately classed as the social set. The boys in this set are remarkable egoists who bray loudly of their capacity, their large lack of manners, their con- quests (astounding imaginative tri- umphs), the money they spent last week, and their immense disrespect for churches, women, and scholars. They mournfully drag themselves to a minimum number of classes, in which they become for an hour unobtrusively unconscious, and then clomp out, relieved, unedified, and generally whistling. They are noisily conspicuous in the convenient college confectioneries, where they buy little, talk much, and hilar- iously slap members of the opposite sex in indecorous places. Their witticisms are abominably stale, their opinions are the same. Their shallowness is merely a mask for their tremendous ignorance, and they never seem to realize its lamentable trans- parency. The girls are so very similar to their boy friends that a description of their habits, would, for the most part, consist of a painful repetition of the paragraph above. They are affected, and trivial, and marvelously silly. They are bov crazy and pseudo sophisticates. And they whirr harmlessly and giggle at all times. And so we realize the divisions, the one, dully studious, the other dully super- ficial. Yet each is composed of exceeding- ly happy, extremely self-satisfied individ- uals, who do not consider themselves dull at all. What a very funny situation. It would no doubt be funnier if someone would tell them about it. Oh, my, yes. KATABAW DANCES This is the waltz — soft shoulders, rhythmic feet — the man, the woman, moving as one — dipping and gliding over the hardness of polished floor reflecting a shadow of lights — while the hypnotic- wail of saxophones creates a subtlety of background, exquisite, enchanting, and marvelously compelling. They dance at Katabaw too. They dance methodically once every two weeks —they dance even enthusiastically — but the spell is missing — the enchantment is somewhere else. The dances are held every other Saturday night in the school audi- torium — an immensely practical — and amazingly dull chamber — square, pine floored, and depressingly colorless. Always a bad attempt at decoration is made; for- lorn streamers flaunt disconsolately from passionless, hanging lights—and five pos- ters, colorfully lonely, cheerlessly betray the evening's hosts. The music starts at nine — begins lugubriously and discordantly, and consist- ently continues that way till midnight. The orchestra, a seven piece extravaganza, slumps on the stage, wears doubtful white pants, and scuffed shoes, and usually suc- ceeds in conveying the impression of thoughtful boredom. They habitually de- light in such classical runaways as “No- body's Sweetheart , “Dinah , and “Sweet Sue — probably because their listeners would prefer to dance slowly (and with feeling). Between numbers they complac- ently dissect the audience with critical eye, lap at cigarettes, and flick imaginary hairs off bagging blue coats. Their leader revels in ill-concealed superiority — supercilious- ly consenting to play anything — and sel- dom getting it played in the same hour. They blare insolently at all times, and strive heartily to be heard at great dis- tances. At twelve sharp they butcher “Home Sweet Home , collect twenty-five dollars, look exceedingly satisfied, and go home. They take their remarkably inac- curate musical ears with them when they go. Those present at Katabaw dances gen- erally include: fifty-odd couples, sixteen stags, and six chaperones. The stags mon- opolize most of the floor space, genially pound each other on the back, and re- sourcefully hunt down unhappy couples to “break” on. The chaperones importantly retain a far corner, suitably equipped with a settee, a rug, two rockers, and an atmos- phere of conservatism and restraint. Each couple hesitantly greets them on entering, avoids them scrupulously during the even- ing, and wrings their hand rather absently when it is over, meanwhile poking impat- iently with free arms for slippery coat sleeves, and crying such blessed absurd- ities as “Wunnerful evening — sure good dance”! Thus they are afforded an excel- lent opportunity to determine at close range if Marjory Daw's dress is really im- moral in front, and to sniffingly wonder if Bill Smith's mouthloud of Dentyne is not, in reality, camouflageing the odor of some- thing a great deal stronger. Among the dancers, the girls delight in being rushed, six steps with any one boy at any one time being Utopia. They gurgle effusively about nothing (particularly their popularity), and stroke their part- ners coyly on the backbone in generous floods of affection. For three consecutive hours they perspiringly string their favor- ite “line at anyone in range, appear tiredly happy, and complain insistently of sore feet. The boys, for the most part, razz the orchestra, cheer the orchestra, dance bad- ly, scratch conspicuously, and devilishly drink bathtub gin during intermissions. After the dance nearly everyone in- fests a downtown all night cafe, which is not at all delirious of being thus infested. The girls giggle and act “tight”, the boys stagger, and are “tight”, and the waiters look terrifically bored and comprehensive- ly exhausted. Glasses are banged, plates are broken, and spoons are stolen. Every- body sings, orders a sandwich, eats a sand- wich, and then, quite handily forgets to pay for it. In an hour the place is grate- fully empty. A ponderous policeman sighs ponderously in quiet solitude. Katabaw has suffered another periodical attack of “Growing pains, has found them irritat- ing, but somewhat necessary, and is con- tent to be once more well on the road to refined and respectable normality. ELSIE MORDANT “Young women of today but rarely seek refuge in the beauties of nature. They do not seem to realize that almost any daisy has the power to soften the whine of a wailing world.' The gem above is a notable extract from “Pearls of Wisdom”, a recent best seller by Elsie Mordant, renowned author, lecturer, sociologist, and girl scout leader. One could hardly praise Miss Mordant loudly enough. She has dedicated the best years of her life to the service of her coun- try, state, and community, and today is a recognized authority on the modern girl and her problems. She also knows a lot about the importance of eating raw carrots, and is eter- nally wondering if the redecoration of her back bed-room wasn’t after all a rather use- less expense. Miss Mordant is as individual as she is brilliant. Her wit is amazing, her glamour is undeniable, and her silver white personality is a flash of cheer and warmth to one and all — especially the weary and downtrodden. She is a staunch advocate of the indepen- dence of women. “What could be cuter”, she prates, “than a home with babies and a fire- side”. She believes, moreover that woman’s place is in the kitchen, especially on Thurs- day afternoons when the cook is downtown over a bargain counter. Miss Mordant is exceptionally broadmind- ed about drinking. “It is a proven fact”, she says, “that large quantities of milk and tom- ato juice tend to improve the health.” Inci- dentally, she is the originator of that most interesting fad, “Drink More Water Week”, which results each year in numerous cases of death by drowning. At present Miss Mordant is sponsoring a movement calculated to put more clothes on Nudists. Her reason for this is more or less definite. “The Nudist, as I see him”, she ex- plains, “Is displaying very little modesty, and very much of everything else”.

CLUBS AT KATABAW The clubs at Katabaw are somewhat idealistically quoted as the sustaining pil- lars of its social life, but they are, in real- ity, salty pillars, and crummy, and not at all intrinsically valuable, Their number is appalling, rather than inspiring. At Katabaw one can have his intellect broadened” in any subject from Latin to engineering, and there is a club for every field, to help him along, and see moreover, that he sweats in the procedure. About once a month, at seven-thirty, there is a meeting, that flourishes with all the intensity and precision of a fire drill; at which coats are worn, carefully pre- pared (but inordinately dull) speeches are made, and coffee finally served, which par- tially succeeds in removing from the mouth the bad taste that has by this time most surely settled there. There are vague attempts made to- ward the collection of dues, but as a gen- eral rule the membership merely looks decidedly uncomfortable, and half-way frightened whenever the subject is clan- destinely mentioned. The dues are used chiefly to pay for the club’s page in the school annual — a page notoriously dedi- cated to the florid and lugubrious adver- tising of purpose, plan, and accomplish- ment. Of course the purpose and plan never vary in starchily being blissful im- possibilities, and the accomplishments are somehow marvelously lacking, but this is only a minor consideration, since the page is read by the dub alone. They quite naturally realize that the write-up is merely last year’s compliment, enthusias- tically elaborated on by a partnership con- sisting of their reporter and sponsor. (The reporter handled the pencil and looked mightily agreeable.) The crowning achievement of every dub is the annual picnic, a classical and isolated orgy which affords an enormity of indigestible� , and a rare opportunity for the less popular girls to shyly hold hands in the encouraging gloom of an expiring bonfire. Among the more ambitious of these organizations are the sororities, local atrocities which strive constantly to appear vastly exclusive, and as constant- ly fail miserably in the attempt. They con- tinually are on the outlook for favorable publicity, and when the college newspaper recognizes a signal venture with a dis- tressing paucity of space they crimson with righteous indignation, and burn the editor in effigy. Their initiations are in- teresting examples of crude embarrass- ments and failing originality. Their par- ties are immensely lukewarm affairs, abounding in bridge, salads, and the latest gossip, vociferously punctuated with inter- mittent howlings whenever a break” is made. And they politely snub each other during the beauty queen election, and brazenly insist on a re-count when their own mediocre candidate is hopelessly de- feated. There is no reason for a criticism of the clubs, however, beyond a bare citation of existent facts. If one did criticize them, they would merely yawn in gentlemanly condescension of ignorance personified, and then quite surely return to their normal condition of complacent oblivion and absolute self-sufficiency.

MAY H. DICKENS Sophisticated Lady Like many funeral orations, most tributes are necessarily obvious and insincere absurdities, in that there is more satisfaction than soul in gross exaggeration. Necessity will compel no exaggeration here; in fact, we of the Annual staff merely intend to tell the truth — and save time. Frankly, we consider Mrs. Dickens delightfully sophisticated, probably due to the fact that we find it quite impossible to overlook the tolerant cynicism in her smile, and the good-natured devil lurking in her eyes. She is a rare and broadminded individualist, who can with equal delicacy, adequacy, and good taste harangue an audience of five thousand, or rail at you over a tea cup. She finds life entirely interesting because she glories in activity, but she has never allowed contentment to hinder achievement. In the years devoted to broad and intelligent study she has found time to rear two children, and instill into their charac- ters her own enviable traits.
