OTTJE HOUSTONIAN 01936 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON LIBRARY umvgnelIY of HOUSTON JAMES L. JULIAN r EDITOR .1. WILBUR SMITH M ANAGliR ROBERT W. TALLEY SPONSOR 12746 THE SCHOOL Through these portalswe pass daily to our classes. It is there that life-long friendships are being made; it is within this building that we laugh at the humorous incidents that occur, and wipe a misty eye when a touchiof pathos tugs at our heart. Within these walls our lives are being reshaped, stronger characters being built, and helpful bits of knowledge imparted. The contacts and associations that we have had here probably have made indelible impressions upon our minds. May we all, in reCalling memories of the past, remember and cherish this school always. FOREWORD The staff, in offering this 1936 Houstonian, has endeavored to create a permanent record of the past school year with emphasis placed on a realistic presentation of the events as they actually 0c- Curred. We have attempted to make this book a human document that gives recognition to the efforts of those who have sought to make better our University. We offer, then, this annual as a means of recording golden mem- ories of those events that we have learned to hold dear and treasure.

HOLT Adviur The Senior class of 1936 with 116 members, is 34 members larger than last year's graduation class. They have led the University in social events. These include the uget-together at Put Foley's home, the URound-up at McGregor Park, the HCake- Dance in the fall, the Class Night Banquet zlt Lidds, and the breakfast at Le Blanc's in the spring. Class meetings were frequent and harmonious throughout the year. The genial president Pat Foley led the class successfully through difhcult sessions when class rings, invitations and other business had to be decided. The class spirit was high and dues were cheerfully paid, this putting the class on a solid financial basis. The class drafted Mr. Holt, who had served as their junior class sponsor, to advise them.

Members of tthunior Class proved continually during the year their willingness to work for the betterment of the school. Class representatives took leading parts in all school activities of literary, athletic, dramatic, musical and social endeavors. uFor the good of the University was their motto. Tthunior Prom, presented April 7.4 at Bcuchmont, was an outstanding social event of thc scholastic year and will long be remembered as a triumph for the class. The Junior Class hopes for even greater success during the ensuing year of 1937. It is to be trusted that this great class has proved worthy of a deserving place of leadership in the greater University of Houston.

JULIAN EDITOR The editor's sentiments regarding this year's annual are that if you like the book give the credit to one of the most efhcient and diligent staHs that ever put out a year bookiif you do not like it, then blame the editor himself. J. WILBUR SMITH MANAGER The staff was very fortunate in having one so capable as Wilbur t0 handle the business affairs of the Houstonian. The orderly and systematic methods that he followed were a true indication of the efficient and competent business man that he is. He has set up methods of management that should be adopted as permanent. DOUGLAS E. CARTER ASSISTANT EDITOR Carter will assume the editorship of next year's annual with two valuable years of experience to aid him. When the student body voted to entrust this important ofhce to him they did so with the understanding that one of the most dependable and capable stu- dents in the school was their choice. DOROTHY CELY ASSISTANT MANAGER Serving in this position for her second year Dorothy has gathered valuable experience that will allow her to take over the business manager's position well prepared in 1937. She has won the repu- tation of undertaking any assignment with willingness, and has been given the task of completing many of the detailed duties that arose during the year. ROBERT W. TALLEY ADVISER Armed with an intimate knowlege of the publication held, Talley was always on hand to offer the stallr the benefits of his valuable experience. Due to the fact that the original plan of the book had to be changed several times, there were many instances when the staff needed both careful supervision and inspiring pep talks. The adviser always willingly subscribed his assistance.

Under the editorship of Algerine Allen the Cougar reached :1 level that places it inferior to none in the weekly collegiate newspaper publication field. Much praise is due the staff of thirty members that worked faithfully and tirelessly in living up to the journalistic traditions of always making the dead- line with their paper. The Cougar has largely aided in the promotion of all school activities during the year, and has come to earn the title of the h'greatest unifying spirit in the University.

PEARL MARVEL MARTIN Director The University Singers is an organization composed of students who wish to ex- press their vocal talent in the work offered by the organization. The Club meets for a two hour period every Saturday afternoon, during which time they sing the numbers most popular with College Glee Clubs. This club not only affords a means of musical recreation for its members, but also advertises the University in a most favorable manner. The first program given by the club was a Christmas radio broadcast, which was repeated in an assembly meeting of the student body preceding the Christmas Holidays. During the spring term the club sang a group of numbers from the Musical Comedy, Tune In, at the Annual High School Reception held at the City Auditorium. This group also sang at the Founder's Day program and at the Commencement Exercises which were held at the Miller Memorial Amphitheatre. Mrs, Pearl Marvel Martin, the director of this group is well pleased with the prog- ress made and since most of the members will be back, she is looking forward to a very successful season next year. Miss Yvonne Moets is the accompanist of the Singers. Often: WILBUR SmTH Pruidml L. S. MITCHELL Dim'tor ROBERT W. TALLEY Ant. Dirrcror DOROTHY GOLDEN Fin! Vice-Pruidmr SALLY POWERS 5:6 !er P. S.

THE RED MASQUE PLAYERS The Red MaSun Players, with one of the largest memberships 0f the University organizations, seeks to afford students an opportunity to give vent to their dramatic inclinations. By staging four 3-act shows this year, the club made it possible for the muiority of its members to take part in at least one production. The first of the four three-act shows of the year was a comedy, T'Are You A Mu- son? The members taking part in this production were Dorothy Golden, P. S. Reed, Ellen Schuhmann, James Julian, Lois Fuller, Vivien Kroll, Dan Makeig, Robert Goodson, Iola Barron, Margaret Ames, Kitty Berthold, A1 Gardner, Stillman Taylor, and jack Robinson. The Howling Dog, a mystery drama, was the second show of the season. The cast for this production included, Mavis Anderson, Betty Martin, Ruie Lawrence, Edythe Reddick, Sally Powers, Barbara Phelan, Milton Caplan, Fred H. Jones, Doug- las Carter, Joe Wullenschneider, Eugene Snapp, and Walter Easton. The outstanding production of the year T'Death Takes A Holiday, followed, and was played before a capacity house.

The Club was host to the Texas Intercollegiate One-Act Play Tournament which was held here during the week of April 6. Fourteen schools sent representatives to the meet. The manner in which the visitors were received won much goodwill for the University. L. Standlee Mitchell worked faithfully and tirelessly with his casts all year. He was assisted by Robert W. Talley. This left Mitchell free to devote his full energies to the supervision of the dramatic and technical phase of producing as Talley managed the planning and building of the sets. The effectiveness with which this combination worked allowed a new high mark to be reached in the quality of shows produced. At the close of the year the club extended a vote of thanks to J. Wilbur Smith for the work he contributed in making the season a success, and to AI Aron, stage-man- ager, for the part he played in assisting Smith. The club was fortunate in having so capable a group of officers to handle its affairs.

The Houstonians seek to afford students a better vauaintanceship through the medium of social activities that are sponsored at regular intervals The program com- mittee always attempts to employ us great a variety as possible in arranging social events. One of the outstanding offerings of the club was a Halloween Carnival staged in the gym. A vice versa dance given under the auspices of the Houstonians won favorable comments from those who attended. At this time plans for the annual buy party are being formulated. UNIVERSITY SPEAKERS AND HOUSTON FORUM The University Speakers and the Houston Forum were organized at the begin- ning of the school year last September, with the meetings scheduled for twice monthly during the regular Class period. Both organizations hold meetings in Mr. Harris' room. The purpose of these two clubs is to promote good fellowship among the students, and at the same time, to acquaint the members with practical parliamentary procedure. Many varied and interesting programs have been presented by both clubs, and each is planning some type of social entertainment before the close of the school year- UNIVERSITY SPEAKERS Pint trmz Pruidmt Virt- Pruidmr Jrrremrjv um!

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Coach Spiess' team this season continued the impressive records made by its predecessors by Fmishing the year without a loss charged againsr it. Paced by Winnie Allen and Ida Mehr, the Cougarettes defeated some of the strongest teams in the city. With most of the squad returning next year another successful season is predicted. BOYS' BASKETBALL The boys who led the Crimson and White into battle labored under extreme difficulties all season. Handicapped by the lack of assur- ance that a practice court would always be available, the team began the season display- ing the traditional never say die Cougar spirit. When the Squad reached its form about mid-season, another bit of bad fortune befell the boys when Coach Dan Snyder had to give up the team.

The purpose being to promote a better spirit and a more cooperative attitude among University of Houston students interested in courses of the mechanical nature. The entertainment committee of the organization always made it a point to arrange for outstanding speakers in the engineering Field to address the club during the course of the year. Plans are being made to promote engineering expositions that will serve to give the membership practical instruction and experience, as well as advertise the Uni- versity in regard to the various courses that are offered which will appeal to pro- spective students who are mechanically inclined.The officers of the Engineers expressed that they were more than pleased with the interest with which the students have responded to the club's appeal for membership during its first year in existence.

Julian and Talley got in an argument in Febru- ary and were still at it when the staff showed them the completed annual done without help from either. Then they went claiming credit for the work done by the staff. Wilbur Smith, business manager, was out to-all callers when the bills started pouring in. Dot Cely, assistant business manager, had the best alibis for missing meetings. Considering all circumstances the rest of the staff was as bad as could be expected. Algerinc Allen worked into the wee small hours of many nights. She often went home as late as 8:30 p.m. Jerry Bentley was another night owl.

Dot Golden worked tirelessly on the seniors and almost succeeded in selling an annual. Lois Fuller was a swell Salesman ewhencver the editor was watching. Margaret Ames worked hard Cto get out of workD. Sally Powers was a member of the staff, so they tell us. We never saw her. As chief alibier for bill collectors, Miriam Smith was superb. Al Aron rushed into many a store to sell ads. I still can't figure out how he always landed in some sweet lady's lap when kicked out. Lois Ehlcrs and Betty Martin when asked to prepare a list of the activities of Freshman boys handed in something like this: Joe Doc-sits in parked Cars-O.K.; Bill Smith-docsn't sit in parked cars-no sale; etc. Bill Haddock, ace cameraman, snapped pictures for flve months before someone told him that his camera was empty.
