SEIRI USS 1 nce) Trinity opened its doors to thirteen eager students in 1869, these three complements have been the impelling forces that have urged students toward success. “The Spirit of the Trinity Tiger” has grown from a tiny spark until now, as a burning flame, it serves as an intangible inspira- tion which penetrates our educational, spiritual, ath- letic, and social activities. Wherever tried, through sunshine or rain, victory or defeat, the “maroon and white floats proudly in the breeze. If the 1936 MIRAGE will help to make you staunch Trinity sons and daughters by keeping alive in your hearts “The Spirit of the Trinity Tiger” as represented in these pages, we shall have cause for self-congratulation. Five D Er De i ee To WILL McPHERSON in due recognition of his respon- sibility and his tireless efforts as Business Manager of Trinity University, we sincerely dedicate the 1936 MIRAGE.

Greetings Trinitonians: For nearly three quarters of a century your Alma Mater has been starting sons and daughters on the pilgrimage of life more or less imbued with the Spirit of the Tiger—the Spirit which enables all who possess it to dare be what they profess to be; too strong to stoop to dishonest play; strong enough to accept defeat without whining and victory without boasting. The Spirit of the Tiger insists that it is better to have an honorable defeat than a dishonorable success. True Trinitonians realize that educated brains can be bought in business cheaply; that muscle is a glut on the market, but that real courage is rare. True Trinitonians have character, are not cowards in the face of criticism or oppo- sition, are not easily discouraged, work until the seeming impossible becomes actual. True Trinitonians have ideals that are lived and not just talked about. They keep their feet on the ground and their eyes on the stars. True Trinitonians do not whimper if the track is rough and the goal is distant. They do not complain of the storms of life, nor falter on the road through self-pity because stones cut their feet and blood is left on the trail. True Trinitonians play the game of life without bemoaning the fact that fortune has not been kind in some way. True Trinitonians are thoroughbreds. May the Spirit of the Tiger be increasingly yours.

MAUDE BENNETT DAVIS PAUL SCH YW ABS ETAL Dean of University and Professor of Religious Education The most important thing about a school is not its size, equipment, or athletic record. These are significant only as they, along with many other factors, produce that intangible some- thing called “‘spirit.””. Every school has its aura of school spirit. Trinity’s is one of friendliness, helpfulness, loyalty, and determination. Students who appreciate and identify them- selves with this spirit are true sons and daughters of Trinity. PAUL J.

It has all the legislative and judicial powers of the Student Body vested in it. Under its supervision, a committee drew up a constitution for the Student Body. The Student Council sponsored an “All College Party” at the Waxahachie Country Club, which proved to be a success.

It is composed of two representatives chosen from each of the four classes and is presided over by a president elected by the student body. Bob Jarrell, as president of the council, inaugurated a new deal in inter class sports for the 1935-36 season. Because of lack of material, football was eliminated and soccer was substituted in its place. After the final kick, the Juniors came out victorious in that sport. Boys’ basketball was marked by remarkable “floor” playing and football tactics. The Sophomores were crowned basketball champions. The girls’ basketball games were a little tamer, but just as hard fought. The Sophs downed all opposition to come out on top. Ping pong, volley ball, tennis, and baseball were held in April and May. Field Day was held as usual on Founders’ Day, April 22. The Intramural Council plans to help sponsor the donation of a loving cup to be presented to the class having the highest total score for the 1935-36 season.

Fifty-nine Sixty C HOE ER Sloe Ee leo sera Giving whole-hearted support to the Tiger football team throughout the season, the Trinity Cheering Section played an important part in the fine record made by the gridders. Cheer Leader Elizabeth Jones and her assistants, George Newton and Howard Rutherford, worked tirelessly and through the co-operation of the students and faculty they were able to send Trinity football enthusiasm to new heights. Well-planned pep rallies were held prior to most of the football games, and special speakers at these rallies included E. P. Harbin, J. Houston Allen, J. R. Gill, and H. D. Harrison.. Many novel stunts also were given at the meetings. Preceding the game with Southwestern University here on Armistice Day, the Cheering Section took part in a parade through the business section of the city. Little Serena Ann Wilkins, daughter of Coach and Mrs. L. J. Wilkins, was appointed mascot of the Tigers for the football season. In addition to supporting the Tigers for football games, the Cheering Section also was in evidence during the basketball season.

Playing an outstanding defensive game, the Trinity Tigers held the strong Howard Payne Yellow Jackets to a scoreless tie. The Yellow Jackets threatened several times, but were unable to push across the white marker for a touchdown. McCall, Trinity halfback, stopped a Jacket drive when, in the latter part of the second quarter, he intercepted a pass on his own goal line and raced forty yards before he was downed. The Trinity line proved too strong for the visitors to crash through for first downs, but Trinity found difficulty in stopping the Jacket aerial attack. Time after time the Jackets completed passes for gains. For the Trinity team, Pete Cole at tackle played the greatest defensive battle, stopping play after play at the line of scrimmage. Joe Champion, back of the Tigers, made several line plunges for long gains before injury forced him out of the game at the end of the first quarter.

In a close and wide-open game here Friday afternoon, the Trinity Tigers outplayed the Abilene Christian College Wildcats to win a 7-6 decision. The Tigers scored early in the first half when Co-captain Key Turner tossed the ball over the goal line to Bill Howorth. The extra point was obtained in the same manner, with Champion passing to McCall. The Wildcat touchdown came in the middle of the second half when a pass was completed over Trinity’s white marker, but the extra point was not made. The gridders from Abilene threatened several times in the second half of the game, but the Tiger line, led by Co-Captain Doug Cooke, refused to be moved. As a result of the good work of the Tiger line, Trinity made 153 yards on line plays to 92 for the visitors. The Wildcats completed more passes than Trinity. Trinity punted 10 times for an average of 35 yards, and Abilene Christian punted 9 times for an average of 30 yards.

Fighting against an inspired Daniel Baker eleven, the Trinity Tigers lost their first game of the season Saturday night at Brownwood. Until the last two minutes of play, the Trinity team led 7-3, when a pass placed the ball on the Trinity 2-yard line; and, on the fourth down, the Hill Billies fell over the line for a touchdown. Daniel Baker scored first in the second quarter when Little kicked a field goal from the 18-yard line. Trinity scored in the third quarter after a long march down the field. Champion made three first downs, carrying the ball to the 2-yard line. Thompson then hit right tackle for the touchdown. The extra point was good. Gordon Burke showed up well in his position as guard, but the line was weakened con- siderably when Pete Cole and Douglas Cooke, Trinity’s two powerful tackles, were forced out of the game with injuries. Sixty-four Bost Fullback CHAMPION Halfback MITCHELL End MEHARG Halfback JARRELL Fullback TRINITY 12 — SOUTHWESTERN 0 Waxahachie, Nov. 11. Ina sea of mud and water, the Trinity Tigers defeated the Southwestern Pirates 12-0 to advance closer to the Texas Conference Championship. It was Homecoming Day for the Trinitonians, and many of the Exes weathered the rain and cold to see their Alma Mater come through with her victory. Trinity scored the first touchdown in the latter part of the second quarter with a march down the field which placed the ball on the 1-yard line. Thompson then plunged over for the six points. The most exciting play of the game came in the last quarter when Joe Champion, behind perfect blocking, slipped through the center of the Pirate line and ran 72 yards _ for the second touchdown. Members of the Tiger squad who had seen little service in recent games were the outstanding players in the tilt. Chapman and Watson played their best game of the season. Meharg, Pruett, Thompson, and Howorth formed the backfield that scored the first touchdown. Buddy Hayden, playing at center, showed the most powerful defensive work in the Tiger line. Sixty-five WILKERSON Center CoLt Tackle McCaLL Halfback GIBBS End Botts Manager RANDALL Trainer TRINITY 0 — AUSTIN COLLEGE 13 Sherman, November 28. With the Conference Championship at stake, the Trinity Tigers gave Austin College a real battle, but the powerful Kangaroos proved their super- iority by stopping the Tiger offensive and pushing over two touchdowns. Trinity’s only serious threat came when McCall caught a pass in the open, only to be brought down by a group of tacklers including the timekeeper. Terrell went off tackle for 30 yards and A. C.’s first touchdown in the second quar- ter, and Caudle, guard, ran 35 yards on a fake play for the other marker in the fourth period. Eleven Tigers played in their last game for Trinity: Co-captain Douglas Cooke played three years for Trinity, one at guard and two at tackle. Cooke was outstanding for the smart, consistent game he played. Co-captain Key Turner played three years at fullback. He was used in line drives to gain small yardages when needed. Francis Har- rington ended his third year at guard position. Harrington played in practically every game during the three years. Robert Crooks completed his third year as letter man at center. Crooks was valuable to the Tigers, both through his defensive and offensive work. Henry Gibbs, regular end in 1934 and 1935, played three years of varsity football. Gibbs gained recognition not only as a wingman, but as a cool, consistent punter. Ikey Cauthen finished his third year of varsity football. Cauthen , although small, was indispensable because of his fight and willingness to take the knocks. Luther Coulter, who came to Trinity with two years of junior college experience, ended his second year on the Tiger squad. Coulter was of creditable service at the pivot position. Edward Bost, who was also a junior college transfer, was a member of the Trinity aggregation at fullback for two years. Joe Mitchell had two years of varsity experience to his credit, playing center his first year, and ending last season at a wing post. D. O. Wilkerson, another junior college product, added to the strength of the Trinity line with his two years at the center position. Lloyd Brooks finished his second year on the squad. Brooks played at a guard position and also at an end position. Oixty-six POOTBALL REVIEW Trinity came through this season with the best record of any Trinity football team since the Tiger eleven of 1925. The Tigers finished the season with an average of .500, after playing eight games, five of which were conference games. Of these Trinity won three, tied two, and lost three. Trinity opened the season at the Ellis County Fair with an easy victory over Texas Military College by a 13-0 score. Trinity made eleven first downs to one for the Bulldogs. Joe Champion scored all the points for Trinity. Trinity’s first conference game with Howard Payne was the most exciting home game of the season. Neither team scored. Trinity won her first conference game by defeating Abilene Christian College 7-6. The East Texas Teachers, defending champions of the Lone Star Conference, were heavily rated to win from the Tigers, but were unsuccessful in their attempt. H. A. Thompson circled his own left end for 60 yards in the second quarter to score Trinity’s touchdown. Howorth kicked the goal. The Lions scored a few plays la ter. The Tigers lost their next game with Daniel Baker, 10-7, but came back the fol- lowing week to beat Southwestern 13-0. The Tigers were defeated in their third non-conference game with North Texas State Teachers’ College, 13-8. The feature of the game came when Meharg intercepted a pass and ran 90 yards for a Trinity counter. The season closed with Trinity playing the Austin College Kangaroos. Each team was battling for the Texas Conference Championship that was decided by the game. Trinity went down before an aggressive group of Kangaroos, thus giving the champion- ship to Austin College. The Tigers did not go unrewarded for their good work of the season. Pete Cole, Trinity’s big-boy tackle, was voted the most valuable lineman in the conference. Cole and Gordon Burke were placed on the first string all-conference team. Bill Howorth, Bill Everheart, and H. A. Thompson were placed on the second all-conference team, and Joe Champion was given honorable mention. These selections were made by a group of sports writers. Each member of the team finished the season with a love and respect for the hard work and inspiring leadership of Coach Wilkins and Coach Boggs. Gordon Burke and Tom Pruett were elected as the co-captains of next year’s team.

Botts, Crooks, Bost, Trainer Randall Be Rio Oo Eee El see eles a etemee Winning six conference games, the basketball quintet established a new record for Trinity cage teams. Howard Payne, which won the championship, was the only combi- nation in the conference to win two games from Trinity. The Tigers divided their series with Austin College, Daniel Baker, Abilene Christian, and McMurry; and won two contests from Southwestern to finish the season with an average of .500. After Christmas the Tigers settled down to hard work, but old man tough luck knocked at their door. Captain Botts and Robert Miller had the mumps, and Emerick sutfered a severe foot injury. In this condition the Tigers opened their season in Sherman against Austin College. Trinity put up a good battle until Crooks and Mitchell fouled out. They then dropped behind and lost their first conference game, 51-40. The following week the Tigers came back with blood in their eyes to beat their old rivals 54-24. Then they journeyed to Abilene still minus the services of Captain Botts. Losing to A. C. C. by the score of 43-34 in a very ragged game, the Tigers re- turned home to take on McMurry. Led by Key Turner, the Tigers beat the Indians by the score of 35-32. A.C.C. was then defeated in a return game to the tune of 31-22. In a very poor exhibition Trinity lost to the conference-leading Yellow Jackets 41-25, but came back strong to defeat the Southwestern quint 26-23. Ina return game the Pirates were routed 28-16 in a less exciting game. The Tigers flashed their best form of the season when they defeated the strong Daniel Baker Hill Billies 24-19. This was the most spectacular and breath taking game of the year. In the last week of the season, the Tigers lost to McMurry, Daniel Baker, and Howard Payne. BG eke leer GEGIIADO Lis, captain of the Tiger quintet, was the best crip-shot expert. Although ill at the first part of the year, Botts came through with a ‘“‘bang-up” season. ROBERT CROOKS finished his third year as a letterman on the squad. Crooks was a very aggresive guard, whose defensive work helped greatly in the Tigers’ successful season. TOM PRUETT was an all-round basketball player. Tom was excel- lent both on the defensive and offensive. A!thouch not extremely tall, he was a very good jumping-cen e-.

He played his best game of the season against the Daniel Baker Hill Billies. LEWIS EMERICK handled a basketball exceptionally well. ‘Pappy’s” defensive work and his dangerous set shot added much to Trinity’s scoring. JOE MITCHELL played his last year at guard.

Pie TROUPS Eighty-five PUI LRG ISIE OUNES: Eizhty-eight V2 @ IS oer eo The 1936 MIRAGE has been produced in an effort to record vividly and impartially the activities of the 1935-36 school year. The editorial and business staffs have worked hard, striving to continue the improve- ments featured in the 1935 MIRAGE, With this as a goal, Kathryn Bartlett served as Organization and Senior Class Editor; Joe Mitchell, as Art and Snapshot Editor; Lynn Lasswell and Stuart Lumpkins, as Humor Editors; Leon Robinson, as Assistant Snapshot Editor; Jamie Richards, as Subscription Solicitor; Mary Ellen Kirven, as Assistant Advertising Manager; and Adele Elgan, as typist. Although the staff was reduced, there was an increased amount of student participation in the production of the book. The Trinity Mothers’ Club sponsored the 1936 MIRAGE. This organization was particularly influential in encouraging the distribution of the annual. The outstanding social event sponsored by the MIRAGE was an all- college party at the Waxahachie Country Club, December 7. Bartlett, Mitchell, Lasswell, Lumpkins Robinson, Richards, Kirven, Elgan KGL Ib 1 ASE Gye Mavuriné Hurraker, Editor-in-Chief, was elected to her position by a unanimous vote of the student body. She tried to uphold the confidence placed in her by working untiringly to make the 1936 MIRAGE a mirrored vision of campus and university life. JOHN SHELL, Assistant Editor, co-operated with the Editor in the production of the details of the book. His major contribu- tion was as Editor of the Sports Section. LUTHER COULTER, Business Manager, was chosen for his position on the basis of ability and experience. He was successful in securing the co-operation of friends and business firms in Waxahachie and surrounding territories. Asa result Luther was able to keep the MIRAGE on a firm financial basis in spite of the increased costs of the book. RoBerT MILLER, Assistant Business Manager, worked under the direction of the Business Manager in securing ads for the book. Eighty-nine SOOM Eds Georce Couns, Editor, held the honor of being elected by acclamation to head the Trinitonian staff. He merited this dis- tinction by giving the Trinity students one of the best newspapers that has ap- peared in several years. Lynpot Hart, Managing Editor, was in charge of make-up and general news stories. Forrest STILL, Business Manager, owed his position to the interest and ability he showed as a member of the 1935. staff. This year under his direction, several business-promotion devices, including the Spring Campaign and the Merchants’ Di- rectory, were instigated to help make the Trinitonian successful financially. RonaLp Hussarp and JOHN Epwin Mc- Etroy, Assistants on the Business Staff, worked with Still in conducting various financial drives. Ninety TP es WE ah AR OUI ee Working under a definitely organized schedule, the Trinitonian staff presented a complete coverage of campus news. Led by John Garner, Assistant Managing Editor, the staff included Kathryn Bartlett, Society and Clubs Editor; Lizabeth Wade, Feature Editor, assisted by Dorothy Clark, Irene Lynch, and Mary T. Bobbitt; O. W. Randall, Sports Writer; Cosma Stacks, Chairman of Editorial Council; Bill McCurdy, Lynn Lass- well, and Stuart Lumpkins, columnists; and Mary Ellen Douglas, typist. The Trinitonian, in addition to the presentation of regular news, offered this year for the first time an eight page Collegiate Digest section, featuring a weekly pictorial review of news of the college world. The size of the paper itself was increased from five to eight columns. Also, the Trinitonian became a member of the Associated Collegiate Press this year. With such marked advances as these to its credit, the Trinitonian will end its thirty-fifth year of publication on May 23, 1936.

Membership in the club is gained through a tryout process. The club meets twice a month on Thursday evenings, and is entertained by one-act plays, reviews, dramatic interpretations, or sometimes business routine. The two major productions sponsored by the club this year were “The Prince Chap,” a three-act comedy, and the Shakespearean comedy, “The Taming of the Shrew.” Numerous one-act plays were presented at club meetings, at chapel, and at various churches in surrounding communities. The club entered “The No Count Boy” in the Texas Intercollegiate Dramatic Tournament, which was held in Houston, Texas, with the University of Houston acting as host. The Players held a formal banquet at the Baker Hotel in Dallas.

It is obvious that this group exists for no good purpose, but it does enjoy various social events of such excellent type that membership in the organization is worthwhile. During the past year, the members and their guests have been entertained with a picture show party, a break- fast, and a picnic. The activities of 1936 reached a climax in the spring with the annual banquet in Dallas.

L. Hornbeak, was organized at Trinity University in April, 1923; it is a charter member of the State Scholarship Society. Membership in Alpha Chi is limited to Juniors and Seniors who were among the highest ranking tenth of the Sophomore or Junior classes of the preceding year. The general purpose of the organization is the stimulation, development, and recognition of scholarship and those elements of character which make scholarship effective for good. An official delegate is sent by the chapter to the annual meeting of the Scholarship Societies of the South, and all other members who can are urged to attend. Social events sponsored by Alpha Chi include a party given each year for honor roll students of the first semester, and a progressive dinner party given for members of the organization near the close of the school year.

Wilkins : Sponsor Membership in the ““T” Association is confined to those students who have lettered in football, basketball, tennis, track, or golf at Trinity. The purpose of the organization is to improve the athletic standing of the institution and to create in the athletes a loyalty to Trinity that will increase as the years go by. Trinity in 1935-36 has enjoyed its best year in competitive athletics; and the “T” Association is due its share of credit for the record. One notable work of the Association has been to get lettermen interested in other activities of Trinity, and at present the organization is well represented in dramatic, forensic, religious, musical, and other activities of the campus. The outstanding social event of the ‘“T” Association during the spring was a picnic held at Dixon’s Chapel Thursday, March 26.

The principal influence exerted by the organization is through individual members rather than the sorority as a whole. This year Delta Kappa Phi sold Trinity pins, pennants, and rings; and sponsored a booth in the Y. W. - Y. M. Carnival. The outstanding meetings of the club were the initiation services, a camping trip, and the annual tea given in honor of ex-members.

The Town Club begins its activities in the fall with a formal tea honoring the new girls on the campus. In the spring it sponsors the coronation of the university King and Queen who are elected by the popular vote of the student body. This club has monthly socials for its own members. These offer a variety of entertainments, the most important of which is a dinner-party. “A bigger and better Town Club means a bigger and _ better Trinity University.” Ellis, Hardin, Kirven, Aday, Atkins, Bain, Baker, Beseda, Bevers, Bills, Buchanan, Byrum Colvin, Cruse, Erwin, Evetts, Fox, Gainer, Garrett, Goodlett, Hearne, Herrington, Hicks, Hosford Jones, Kelly, Lasswell, Lawrence, Lokey, Manahan, Mitchell, Mullican, Orr, Pinkston, Pippin, Richards Shugart, Smith, Stacks, Stuart, Troutman, Vantreese, Walker, Wheatley, Wiles, Wilson, Worley, Wright One Hundred Six BeOns eri U6 OFFICERS FRAAGNT ASIEN a LSS I tae OS a er ee President JOBBDOW MAT LDOUGIAS see mee 2 eee pees se ee Vice-President Nae Sgt TINS) Kel Was, Sater wes kes Sen NS ee ee Secretary-Treasurer RO MSc ORG ist SEE eee ee eee Se ee Pe POMSOT The Bios Club was organized in the fall of 1933 under the leadership of Professor F.

Meetings are held once a month usually at the home of Professor and Mrs. Isely. Annual projects undertaken by the club are the keeping of all Bios Club proceed- ings and having them bound in book form for a permanent record, bringing to the campus one outstanding guest speaker for an open meeting, and an out-of-door meeting with a steak fry.

In this meet, Lumpkins and Everheart won third place for Trinity, and Lumpkins was voted by the judges as the best debater among the sixty-four men participating. The 1936 season found five veterans back: Stuart Lumpkins, Billy Everheart, Bill McCurdy, George Collins, and Joe Copeland. Five others added to this group by tryouts were: Lloyd Stowers, a transfer with a successful debating record behind him; F. K. Mullendore, Howard Rutherford, Omajeanne Lokey, and Helen Orr, all beginners. For the beginners Coach Mote laid out a program of non-decision debates in which these new debaters have shown up well. The six more-experienced men have, at this writing, participated in twenty-five decision debates, winning from T. C. U. (3), Austin College (2), Simmons (2), Stephen F. Austin, A. C. C., Howard Payne, and N. T. S. T. C., and losing to Austin College, McMurry (2), Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston (2), Baylor (2), Louisiana College, Louisiana Normal, Alva Teachers, Durant, and Tulsa (2). The home schedule ended with a double non-decision debate with Colorado State Teachers March 28. A team composed of McCurdy, Stowers, and Everheart, represented Trinity in the National Meet at Houston March 29-April 3, winning four out of six debates. This is the best record that Trinity has ever made in a national convention. ms Collins, Copeland, Everheart, Lokey Lumpkins, McCurdy, Orr, Stowers One Hundred Ten eee eee One rere io eG lilo = OFFICERS Marsala Ge CuRTIN = s. : ’ President NERS Joe McCann 2 etal tere in et Lae __.._....
