MORRIS Editor NORWOOD CREWS Manager BEATRICE CRYER Associate Editor EL RANCHO, 1937 'Published by the Student Body of the Texas College oj Arts Industries KINGSVILLE, TEXAS 2084? EDITOR'S NOTE It is with great pleasure and many misgivings that we present to you your 1937 El Rancho. If you like it we are glad; if you don’t like it we are sorry. It has been our aim to preserve for you a picture of your school year 1936-37, so that the events will not grow dim in your memory. You should give a vote of thanks to the staff for their many sacrinces and hours of unrewarded labor. I personally thank them, for without their aid this book would not have been possible. We appreciate the aid of our faculty advisors. We extend a hearty vote of thanks to our advertisers and insist that you patronize them. B. J. MORRIS, Editor-in-Chief.

TO THE STUDENTS OF A. AND I.: The medley of thoughts, acts, and passing events of our era has many harsh discords Lack of unison, lack of harmony, and lack of willingness to follow the directors have filled the spirits of our peoples with much unhappiness We of America are dependent on the leadership of the college trained youth to salvage the best of our older heritages and to add thereto new principles, ideals, and regulations that will keep our social progress abreast with our technology of the twentieth century. I am proud of the fine characters anti splendid intellects that typify our student body. The El Rancho is a most worthy accomplishment of zeal, team- work, and intelligence. May it serve throughout the years to remind you not only of the happy and profitable days spent on the college campus, but also of the responsibility that is yours to help remove the discordant notes from our economic, political, and social world.

Surely her dream of cap and gown Will floiver in that fairer town, Surely her staunchness make her meet To walk with poise that new found street. — We, her comrades, feel more brave Because she lived and laughed and gave— Words cannot tell how well she played; There are no words so bravely made. r •••• CLASS OF 1938 OFFICERS Joe Ron Gardner Devine President William Keith Hoover Rio Hondo Vice President Marie Warner Kingsville Reporter Jeanetta Savage Laredo Secretarv-T rea surer Aline McKenzie Sponsor Ernest Holbert Ha ire Harlingen Student Council Representative Ninon Yeager Sponsor R.

Ford Moss Fry Hightower Richards Ramey Javclinas 0 Rice Institute 33 September 19 Even though they could not match the brilliant punting of Tommy Gries the Rice Owls had little trouble in drubbing the Javelinas 33 to 0. Speedy, hard blocking, agile back field men made the A. and I. boys look mighty bad until you consider that we only had one team, while the Owls had a new team to run in every five minutes. Displaying a spectacular team the Kittsmen penetrated our forward wall almost at will. The Hogs, completely bewildered and easily out- classed, never once threatened to score. The game was not over until the last whistle, for the boys fought to the last and displayed that never-die spirit so evident in every McCallum team. FOOTBALL . . . . 19 3 7 Lester Petty Javelinas 0 Southern Methodist University 61 October 3 Determined to redeem its poor showing against N. T. S. T. C. the S. M. LT. Mustangs gave the Javelinas the worst drubbing in its gridiron history. Travel- weary and far from their native haunts, the Hogs gave way to a team that out- classed it in every department. Bv land and air the Mustangs showed no mercy. The exhausted, tenacious Hogs, however, put up a good fight in spite of the top- heavy score. In a team of more equally matched opponents the outstanding work of McRoberts, Jarvis, Petty, Fry, and Hightower would have contributed much toward a victory. ■--- FOOTBALL.......1937 McRoberts McIntyre Turner Stokes Javelinas 19 Schreiner 7 October 10 Displaying a dazzling brand of football, the Hogs virtually swept the Moun- taineers off their feet. Both teams were on the alert, and furnished the fastest football seen on the A. and I. gridiron in three seasons. It was straight football with the more powerful line and speedier backfield holding the whip hand. Fry, Jarvis, and Hightower, inspired by a charging blocking line, displayed superb footwork. The A. and I. team were perfect in their cooperation throughout four hard quarters. The Mountaineers got their lone marker on a brilliant forty-yard pass, and a line plunge. FOOTBALL 19 3 7 M iller Rader Foerster Aurns Javelinas 25 Lamar College 0 October 16 Determined to redeem themselves for losing the first two games of the season, the A. and I. Hogs soundly trounced the Lamar Junior College team to the tune of 25 to 0. Starting off with a bang they crossed the Cardinals’ marker line in the early minutes of the game. Displaying power and an abundance of fight the Blue and Gold pushed and slashed their way to the Lamar goal line a second time and kicked a field goal in the latter part of the game. Making twenty-one first downs to three for the Junior College, the Javelinas easily over- came the little competition offered, and did not let them threaten until the last quarter of the game. This threat was stopped before they had a chance to score. The game ended with the Hogs on the long end of a well-earned score. Grimes was outstanding with his superior blocking. FOOTBALL . . . . 19 3 7 Javelinas 48 Westmoreland College 0 October 24 Gaining momentum as the game progressed the Javelinas continued their winning streak by completely smothering and outclassing the fighting Bronco eleven. The game was held up by a very cold drizzle and many penalties; de- spite these handicaps the game was very fast. The Hogs were in “ship-shape” condition; they displayed a football attack heretofore not displayed by this year's team. The Westmoreland boys were outplayed from the very first. They were never within striking distance of the goal, and never at any time was there any doubt as to how the game was to come out. Don Hightower displayed all his hip twisting tricks, and Fry showed the few he had picked up. Petty was hard to stop and played his best game of the season. The entire team worked like a high-powered engine. The Westmoreland squad fought hard but never had a chance. FOOTBALL . . . . 1937 Jarvis , Lerma Grimes Valls Talbert Javelinas 25 Southwestern 6 October 51 Turning on the steam before a capacity Home-Coming crowd the Blue and Gold squad turned in a brilliant victory over the strong Georgetown Pirates, The game had scarcely started when Frvf hard driving half-back, tallied for the Hogs. In the second quarter the Pirates passed their way to the A. and I. one- yard line, and rammed the pigskin over on the fourth try. In the second half, confronting a 6-6 tie, the Javelinas (featuring Don Hightower) displayed a brand of exceptionally sensational football. Wide end sweeps, beautiful broken field running by Hightower and Jarvis, and a well-trained line had little difficulty in running the score up to tour touchdowns and a field goal for extra point. The line did exceptionally well at intercepting passes, breaking up plays behind the line of scrimmage, and recovering fumbles. The Javelinas completely routed the Pirates, and left no doubt in their minds that they had been badly beaten. FOOTBALL 19 3 7 Javelinas 20 St. Mary’s University 0 November 14 Avenging last year's first home-coming defeat in four years and playing in lines outside the Southwest Conference, was the Javelinas from start to finish. Only once did the Rattlers seriously threaten the Blue and Gold. The Hog for- wards, however, held the invaders for downs and took the ball on their own one- yard line. Petty’s quick punts, Grimes’ defensive work, and Hightower’s broken field running, backed up by a magnificent line, totally humbled the elusive Rattlers. Javelinas 6 Hardin-Simmons University 39 November 21 Playing an outstanding game with an outstanding team the Javelinas were breaks and playing experienced football the Cowboys displayed some of the foot- ball lore they had used in holding the Southwest Conference teams to one touch- down. They showed an enormous amount of power and lots of drive and deter- mination. The A. and I. line was not functioning, and the Cowboys made con- sistent gains via the tackles and guards. The outclassed Hogs showed lots of fight, speed, power, cooperation, and sportsmanship, but regardless it was not enough; even though they did their best. This was the last game for the 1936 team on foreign ground and was played under numerous handicaps. Having beaten St. Mary’s University with little trouble the Hogs went into this game over-confident. The Sul Ross Lobos went in with nothing to lose and a tie for the first Alamo Conference if they won. The Javelinas showed spurts of master football, but fumbled three times within the Lobos’ five-yard line. Piling up 359 yards to the opponents’ 138, and making 15 first downs to 8 for the Lobos was of no avail as the final score was 13-7 with the Hogs on the wrong end. The winning score for the Sul Ross team came in the last quarter when the entire Hog line was taken out and Red Martin sprinted 66 yards to the goal line. Seven Blue and Gold stars saw their last services go to waste against an inferior team, as the last whistle found them deep in the enemy territory. Sul Ross 13 November 26 FOOTBALL 19 3 7 McMillan Thompson Javelinas 26 Victoria Junior College 0 September 25 Featuring' a running blocking attack that could not be stopped by the scrappy Junior College team, the Javelinas pushed their way to the Victorians’ pay stripe before the game was three minutes old. Never at any time in the entire game were the Junior College boys deep within the Javelina territory, but neither were the A. and I. boys able to say the game was a cinch. The Victoria boys fought all the way, but with Rader, Moss, and Ford holding like a power house the inexperienced team made no headway at all. Fry and Hightower played the star roles in the backfield, making long gains around the end and consistent gains through the line. BAS K E TBALL C A FT. JI M M I K M CM ILLA N Lettermen Capt.

L did not profit by the advice given you in your younger days, for surely most of your sins have been found out. PURPOSE OF THE MAGAZINE—is to steer you down the path of righteous- ness and good behavior. In it we point out the paths of evil found here on our own campus, this unsullied spot called your ALMA MATER. Try as you may to keep the dirt from reaching our shell-pink ears, it pains us to tell you that it was all in vain. OF COURSE this whole scheme of thought is original and throughout the maga- zine we have attacked your character, morals, ideals and wild sprees with an un- biased forethought. We know that this cover design is also original, but to some of us what can read, it seems vaguely familiar, like we have seen it somewhere’s before. Perhaps the name is different but one of the sillybulls seems familiar, the SQUIRE. (Where’s the E?) OUR ALIBI THE CHARACTERS DEPICTED IN THIS MAGAZINE ARE PURELY FICTITIOUS, and any similarity to any persons, living or dead, is pure coinci- dental, it is not intended nor should it be inferred.

If you hate 11s because your name or the name of some good friend is seemingly mined, as far as reputation is con- cerned, forgive us. But we hope this hatred will, however, be mitigated, in years to come. If you like it, OUR PURPOSE HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.

If he is successful, then his future is assured. If not. he may as well leave college because he will never amount to anything, even if he stays here the rest of his life. The following procedure has to be gone through in each case: First, the candidate gets at the end of the line that forms at the left. After weeks of expectant waiting. Queenie may have learned his name. Second, he only has to ask her for seven dates before his name is placed on the waiting list. Queen Betty then asks for his credentials, and if they pass her scrutiny, then it’s only a matter of weeks until he will be allowed to ask her for a date. The following step is the final one: Just in case every one thinks she has a date to a dance, and no one asks her. then this young man, if he has a lot of perse- verance, may get to take her. They go to the dance and he never sees her again because every time he starts to cut in someone else has just beat him to it.

But what had that to do with the above what’s it. Just this— Little Will Morris, our editor, once lived in the veritable dust bowl. Rut due to the ravaging of nature, he is here molesting the peace of A. I. But to top the whole story off. this imbecility personified has invaded our Aggie School, and intends to go out into the wilderness and teach our younger Americans the art of crop production. 'Tis indeedy a shame. In fact it touches my finer thoughts. Great time and thought was given to the writing of the “Last of the Mohicans,” but this, a much finer thing is for the mitigation of fraud against the school systems of South Texas. Tears dot my bulbs, when 1 think that such as he is turned loose on humanity. Perhaps if H. G. Wells ever conies across this picture he will be elated to the very bone, because then the last of the missing links will have been found. What should be done? Well we have all thought o' that. But the most equitable elimination. I believe would be the same method used bv my ancestors, the Choctaw Indians of McCurtain County, when they ciT out my Grandpa’s heart and hung it on the gate-post. Then give him the death of a thousand cuts. So I leav vouse with this thought—Are you going to allow this sort of human misprint, to control the destiny of Agri- cultural Science? Not only NO, but- I don’t think so. True, tomorrow never comes, but tomorrow’s dreams in the laboratories of electrical science have a way of coming true. Through the patient ef- fort of research workers, ideas, born of thinking into the future slowly but surely take concrete form. Today's electrical servants, such as the electric refrigerator, the electric range, the electric water heater, and the electric dishwasher, were once “playthings” of scientists. The birth of radio was no less slowly. Electric power lay a thousand years in the cradle before emerging as the giant we know today. Only the tire- less energy of men such as these— servants of tomorrow—has brought entertainment to the multitudes at trifling cost. Research is the lifeblood of prog- ress. The fact that the electrical in- dustry has been willing and able to invest heavily in the future is one of America’s most important social and economic assets.

JOE FULCHER—“Old Hutch'’ the man mountain of rhythm—chosen for the following reasons: a. Because: He has been to England. b. Because: He has danced to the music of all the big-time bands. (Chicago? New York?—just a breeze for Joe,) c. Because: He is a horse trader of no mean ability, and undoubtably a good one. d. Because: He says he has fifteen grand in a bank in east Texas. (This line is just intended for gulli- ble Freshmen.) e. Because: This picture emphasizes the fact that he is a typical John Barleycorn. (A toast to the good John Barleycorn—what dangers thou can’st make me scorn.) JACK CONNER: Here you see why the office of the world’s worst sweater was created. This beautiful child came to every dance. His one mistake was in wanting to dance with whomever his pal Urpy Yarborough was swinging around. The call went forth to “Send Conner to the Siberian Salt Mines.” Therefore an election was called to determine whether we should export Conner or Yarborough. Conner got all the votes. At the same time the ugliest person was chosen. Conner got all the votes. But why should he get all the votes? What has he got that Yarborough and Blake Jackson haven’t got .J Perhaps it is an abominable intrigue. So, honorable jury, the decision is up to you. Shall theirs be the fate of social derelicts? Their fate rest in your hands. Amen. CHILI McROBERTS: We give you “Scarface”—this picture was taken at the risk of life and limb by our staff photographer. This dangerous character has been at large for many years preying on innocent people. There is no way of giving warning to the people that he is on the war-path. In the dark of the night he comes— creep, creep, creep—brandishing a club—or a gun—or a pistol— into your life he slinks—this horrible creature of crime—children flee—adults quake—and ALL WE DO IS SNEER. DON LANGSTON: The man of the hour on the campus. We chose him for this section because he fell in love with the beautiful Yancey one night coming home from San Antonio. His ability to shake a wicked hip in front of the admiring public with a local swing band, has made him immeasurably popular — with the local swing band. He got the patch on his eye after trying to twist his neck during “Tiger Rag” and sticking a music stand in his eye. ROBERT ALLAN: Bob is studying to be a minister of the gospel. We know that here is a fine upstanding example of a man who has never made a shady deal in his spotless career. We know that he has never done the things that other weaker characters have strayed to do—something like shooting dice or holding a revival in a small West Texas town and absconding with the col- lection. He is a swell fellow—even the Boy Scouts will tell you how he spent his leisure time while they were at camp. And also what happened to their treasury. He will gladly tell you how to follow the paths of righteous- ness—how to live right—yea, how to be a better man. TUSQUIRE’S OWN WHO’S WHO DORA DEAN GRAHAM—Our candid photographer slipped in and caught this picture before breakfast. So, lads, in case you wish to know how she will look every morning across the breakfast table, well, just cast a gan- der at the above. Honest, this gal does have plenty on the ball. She can really take the punches hard and fast and retaliate with extreme celerity. You just have to put her in the limelight. REET ANDERSON—This example of feminine ath- letic ability is chosen for our Who’s Who because she is a gal that knows her horses. The cry of the race track is “Find Anderson.” Either to promote a loan or get a tip on the winnahs. On special trains she is in the midst of the fray Good gal, this Feet. The bandage that ap- pears on her face was as a result of a horse’s kick. We are still wondering about the ring in her nose, KATHLEEN COX—Sorry, Katie, but we found this little picture and could not resist sharing our triumph. We will admit that you are a swell gal, but someone has to fill this space so it might as well be you. Here is an example of the photo that will be taken in 1954. Please live up to the standard we set for you or else your sages will be telling untruths. Thanks, pal. URPY YARBOROUGH—Now this is going to be fun. Here’s an example of word creating. Urpy can create more words that sound like the twenty-five cent type than anyone that ever came to our campus or any other campus. The intellectual pseudo. Did you know that lie went to Texas University. (My gosh, yes. Every- one knows of his adventures at State.) Now that he has been made a Kappa Sig, through the aid of his Cor- pus pals, a special agent has been chosen for the sole purpose of keeping him quiet on “Plow We Did It at the University.” So much for this means of corraling him. TOPS MOET—Chosen as the most likely to succeed and the most unlikely to succeed by the public. Say dis must be one of those dual-personality fellows, or just a hard guy to figure. He claims to be a pill-roller elect, but that suave love he dishes out kinda crums the deal. Guess he will be a society doctor. “Oh, doctor, I have such a pain in my back; would you please rub it?” But you know even Tops will admit that he really knows his science. He is a swell guy. It's a lie, I didn’t write this. DOROTHY BROWN —“To keep one waiting is to quiet one’s nerves.” But old gal, there will come a day. Future events cast their shadows before—in the above fashion. The foot-prints in the sands of time will put you right behind the eight-ball. Instead of taking your bath after your date arrives 'twould be best for you to await in the reception room while he takes his bath. We what’s in the know, know that some day there will be a day of reckoning, and we reckon that you will repent while exultation reigns among the multitudes. We realize that in your present glory suitors come forth as did the ancient Greeks, bearing gifts of nonsense and mirth—but, my angel, is it quality not quantity that counts. Or would you be knowing?

Here amid the proximity of the alley, the chicken coops, and barnyard bouquet, the boys live in contentment and blissful happiness. But my loves, there are rumors of. of FOUL PLAY (1NG) going on in this little shrine of contentment. Why just the other night J passed by and heard the most peculiar noise, the sound of beans dropping on the floor, and the funny thing, at a regular speed. After each bean (it seemed) that there was a snap of the fingers. Very peculiar! Another thing—after the beans quit dropping there must have been twenty hoys come down the steps and go up the street, I can't imagine what they were all doing there—surely they don’t all live there. They were speak- ing of picking up some sleeping money—Well, I never heard of any money sleeping, as it isn't given the time, anyway money can’t sleep. Queer doings, I says. Another thing—when I passed there the other night 1 heard a voice that sounded like a girl, the funniest voice I ever heard that belonged to a man. 1 don’t know but maybe—well you guess. Not Here Surely! Well so much for the ASH CAN, the imposing Ediface of our own fair College Life. Supplies ENERGY needed jor study mid for play .... delicious , , , wholesome!

A Thrill A Day Keeps The Chills Away, or ”Being With Vinson ” All my life I had had the great ambition to interview some great notable. 1 hit upon the idea of trying to wrangle an interview with the one and only Junior Vin- son. The great moment came—mv future was assured when those never-to-be-forgotten words, Mr. Vinson will see you A were spoken. I was ushered into his study, and maybe it was that, if you call photographs of chorus girls, old bottles, pipes and Esquire, material for study. Even so, as 1 glanced tip into his eyes which reveal his magnetic personality, even though he can’t look you in the eve. 1 felt mv susceptible feminine heart flutter. ‘‘So this,” 1 breathed inwardly, “is that modest, un- assuming paragon of manhood ’ Although I never did relish the idea of red and green striped sox with yellow sweaters, I could not help notic- ing how utterly at ease Mr. Vinson was. It was as though he was unaware that his color scheme was all wrong. After so long a time I found my voice, and even though it still continued to tremble during this momentous occa- sion, 1 managed to gasp out my questions. “Mr. Vinson, what do you think of college?” Oh,” he answered, in a bored tone, “it's all right. Not quite what I expected, though, as I was not elected president of the student body last year. In fact, I wasn’t even nominated, hut of course, the school is young and there are so many unsophisticated students that I don’t believe they realize how much they hurt themselves in failing to elect me.” Of course,” 1 murmured, enraptured by his shy glances at my silken clad ankles. And what is your opinion of dances in Loftin Hall every week?” “Oh, 1 love to dance,” he answered. “I believe I would be even more fond of it if I ever found anyone who can dance as well as I can. You understand, of course, how hard it is for someone who is really good, to dance with a rank amateur—and amateurs the girls are, really.” “Yes, yes,” 1 said, hanging on to his very-----and not knowing a thing about good dancing or amateurs. “Go on.” “Well,” he continued, “I can overcome this difficulty. When there is a dance in Corpus. T go over there and I never dance with an A. I. girl. In fact. Eve gotten to where 1 don’t even have to see them during the whole dance.” “Why Mr. Vinson,” I said, shocked, “how can you treat the poor girls like that, l ve known of countless cases where girls have gone home and cried all night be- cause you failed to dance with them. How can you be so heartless ?” At last, after a few insignificant questions, I came to the main issue of the interview. “Mr. Vinson, please tell me your predictions for the C. P. business (luring the coming year.” “Hawkins,” he roared. “Show this creature to the door—and young woman, I ought to have you jailed for that.” So there, my kiddies, you have a word picture of the author of that famous best-seller, “Love and Intrigue in Two Breezy Lessons.” The Curse of the World or Do You Know This Guy ? On every trip on a special train There’s the menace to mankind, Down the aisle he goes as the whistle blows With another louse trailing behind. “Wake up,” he shouts, “all out—let’s sing,” As he staggers down the aisle, Till you hope he dies a thousand deaths. Each inch seems to he a mile. When heads are splitting and mouths are dry, A gain he retu rns—the T HING, Happy and carefree, with devilish glee— ‘Wake up, my pals, let’s sing.” String up this monster—and by his thumbs, Take knives so sharp and keen, Carefully, gloatingly, begin to carve, And say, “Now, you rat, SING.” Exam s Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth Accompany these bloody days, Bleary eves blinking and weary brains thinking Mv life has become a dashed haze. Resolves good and strong have all gone along Where all good resolves usually go, My teeth are on edge—My thoughts seem to wedge In a dampening mesh, well I know. Exams are all right—-but my brain has a blight Where my memory by rights ought to be. The teachers are crazy—my mind is all hazy, Life is all wrong, you can see. By a flickering light—when outside there is light Of a moon, and my gal’s out there too While Em suffering and cramming, my gal’s “Honey- lambing” Some louse who has nothing to do.
