DEDICATION 


To 

The  memory  and  achievements  of  General  James 
Edward  Oglethorpe,  who  in  the  pursuit  of  a  noble 
purpose  was  one  "who  knew  not  how  to  give  up," 
and  in  the  hope  that  we  may  all  be  enabled,  as  he, 
to  perceive  our  purpose  and  know  not  how  to  give 
up, 

We  dedicate  this

"Life  without  industry  is  guilt, 
Industry  tvithout  beauty  is  brutality." 

— William  Morris. 


Success  without  the  aid  of  a  college  education 
comes  to  many;  few  with  or  without  this  training 
have  the  power  to  see  the  beauty  that  is  in  life.  We 
have  the  chance  for  both.  To  most  a  rock  is  a  hard 
mass  that  one  stubs  his  toe  on;  the  romance  of  the 
rock  comes  with  the  knowledge  of  its  millions 
of  units  and  their  activity  in  the  rock's  struggle 
against   chemical   decomposition. 

We  have  time  only  to  swear  and  pass  on  when 
we  do  stub  our  toe — we  must  leave  the  rock  to  the 
specialists  in  beauty,  the  poets,  and  take  from  them 
our  beauty  in  spare  moments. 

Let  us  hope  then  for  success,  with  beauty.  If 
the  letters  published  in  Book  II  prove  a  help  in 
reaching  this  goal,  the  staff  will  feel  the  1925 
Yamacraw  a  success,  though  Joe  Smith's  picture 
be  published  above  Joseph  Smith's  name,  and 
xeropthalmia  be  spelled  with  a  z.

'Who  Is  This  That  Cometh  to  Disturb  My  Restr 

(At  The  Opening  Of  The  Vauh,  October  10th,  1923,  4:30  P.  M. 


Oglethorpe,  awake,  it  is  ive! 

From  Georgia,  thy  Georgia,  dost  recall? 

Castell — the     Anne — old     Charleston — 

then  the  bluff 
Of  densely  wooded  Yamacraiv — 
Savannah,  drawn  by  thine  own  hand — 
Old  Ebenezer  —  Frederica  —  Spanish 

guns— 
And  that  red  day  at  Bloody  Marsh? 
Awake,  we  come  for  Thee! 
Numbered  no  longer  by  an  hundred  and 

a  score. 
But  million-voiced,  ive  call! 
Come,  see  the  travail  of  thy  souls — 
Glynn's  marshes,  to  sweet  music  their 
Lanier 

Hath  taught,  wave  rhythmed  welcome 
Tomochichi  beckons,  though  his  Creeks 
Have  followed  fair  loskeha  to  the  West. 
Cities  by  hundreds  hum  their  grateful 

notes 
Within  the  land  thou  gavest  them, 
Wherefrom  great  commonwealths  have 

sprung : — 
Rich    Birmingham    is    thine;    Augusta 

fair; 
Electric,    thine,    Columbus,    where    the 

Chattahoochee  roars. 
While  at  thy  Georgia's  farthest  Western 

bounds. 
By   the   mighty   Mississippi,    Vicksburg 


Amf,  lo,  thy  capital  upon  her  watchful 
ridge. 


Atlanta,  toils  and  sings  and  dreams  of 

thee! 
0  Founder — Father,  Oglethorpe,  awake! 
Thou  art  no  longer  precious  dust 
Nor  group  of  sacred  bones. 
But  living  once  again  thou  hast  become 
Monarch  of  millions!  Dominant,  again, 

thy  tvill  prevails. 
Hear  this  thy  praise  that  rings  through- 
out the  land; 
Thine  is  this  adulation,  this  vast  love; 
Thine  this  memorial  University; 
Wherein  thou  canst  unhand  thy  mighty 

soul 
And  teach   us,   as   of  yore,  thy  fairest 

dreams : 
Of  friendship,  militant  for  sad  humanity 
Of  conduct  mailed  in  wise  sobriety; 
Of  human  liberty,  uncowed  by  slaves; 
Of  Anglo-Saxon  oneness;  0  Thou  first 
American  and  Englishman  in  one. 
Thou     honored     Chief     of     England's 

swords. 
Who  would  not  fight  against  thy  flesh 

and  blood. 
Didst  see,  afar  that  Vaster  Essex, 
That  sisterhood  of  nations,  Saxon  womb- 

ed. 
To  whose  warm  heart  and  steady  will 
A  world  hegemony  would  come? 
Great  Oglethorpe,  awake  from  visioned 

sleep! 
All  thou  hast  dreamed  is  true! 
At  last,  thy  morning  dawn. 
And  thou  dost  rise,  a  King!

Health,  Character,  Personality,  Knowledge,  In- 
dustry, these  are  the  essential  qualities  for 
success. 

The  fundamental  one  is  Health.   You  may  pos- 
sess all  the  gifts  and  graces  known  to  man,  but 
if  they  must  manifest  through  a  deficient  body, 
the  handicap  is  hard  to  overcome.   Most  of  us 
start  with  a  modicum  of  health.   How,  then,  to 

keep  and  better  it?  Pood,  sleep,  exercise: these  three 

and  the  key  words  for  all  of  them  are  Moderation  and  Regu- 
larity, 

The  next  basic  quality  is  Character  and  to  build  Charac- 
ter a  man  must  exact  from  himself  that  unflinching  Honesty 
which  makes  him  scrupulous  not  alone  in  his  dealings  with 
others,  but  above  all  with  himself.   You  may  at  times  be 
able  to  "put  something  over''  on  other  people,  but  never  be 
such  a  fool  as  to  fool  yourself. 

Personality  is  assuredly  an  attribute  of  success.  Some 
claim  it  is  God-given  and  beyond  man's  utmost  striving,  but 
I  believe  one  may  cultivate  it  greatly.  Ease  of  manner,  gra- 
ciousness,  consideration  for  others,  friendliness,  democ- 
racy; care  in  speech,  language,  presence,  carriage — all 
these  qualities  go  to  make  up  personality  and  all  will  grow 
with  tending. 


Twenty-Two 


But  I  presume  Ability  is  the  outstanding  quality  essen- 
tial to  gaining  a  high  place  in  the  competition  of  life. 
And  Ability  is  Knowledge  with  understanding  resting  upon  the 
basic  qualities  of  Health,  Character,  Personality. 

What  is  the  Understanding  which  gives  us  Knowledge?  It  is 
to  know  that  everything  one  can  manage  to  learn  is  closely 
related  to  everything  one  may  ever  want  to  do;  this  is  the 
beginning  of  Wisdom.  Do  not  be  discouraged  if  as  Seniors, 
you  are  barely  catching  a  glimpse  of  this  truth.  The  oppor- 
tunity for  genuine  education  is  boundless  for  those  who  keep 
their  eyes  open,  observe  what  goes  on  about  them  and  exer- 
cise the  process  of  original  thinking. 

Now,  does  Ability  or  Knowledge  plus  Health,  Personality, 
and  Character  always  succeed?   By  no  means.   There  is  a  fi- 
nal sine  qua  non:  Industry  backed  by  determination.   Every 
soul  shaped  for  success  must  develop  the  indomitable  Will  to 
Win — and  how. 

First  eliminate  the  Laziness  that  is  in  you.  Be  unwil- 
ling to  excuse  yourself  from  work.   Forget  the  clock drive 

yourself  to  Industry  until  it  becomes  your  habit. 

This,  then  is  the  Chart  of  success:  Health,  Character, 
Personality,  Knowledge,  Industry;  all  yours  for  the  demand- 
ing.  But,  remember,  always,  the  greatest  of  these  is  Health.

HYDA.U,  GEORGLA. 


A  man  should  standardize  himself  early  in 
life  with  what  he  considers  the  essential  vir- 
tues of  a  man,  and  he  should  practice  them 
until  they  become  habits  of  conduct.   If  he 
chooses  honor,  energy  and  courage,  all  the 
others  will  be  added  unto  him. 

In  my  own  experience  I  have  learned  never 
to  take  a  dare  from  life,  but  to  face  what- 
ever comes.   It  is  better  to  be  defeated  in  the  effort  to 
achieve  than  to  retreat  without  making  it. 

To  speak  the  truth  is  a  sublime  privilege  which  fools  and 
cravens  never  enjoy. 

It  is  ignoble  and  unprofitable  to  practice  vengeance, 
but  it  is  despisable  to  court  one's  enemies  and  produces  the 
perfectly  correct  impression  that  one  is  treacherous  or 
knows  himself  to  be  inferior  and  incapable  of  the  decent  in- 
difference which  buries  enemies. 

The  man  who  believes  in  God,  and  so  acts,  dignifies  him- 
self.  Such  faith  is  a  form  of  spiritual  culture  and  ele- 
gance which  the  meanly  bred  who  deny  Him  never  have. 

As  the  shadows  of  the  years  lengthen  behind  him  this  is 
what  every  man  knows: — It  is  more  exalting  to  have  earned 
his  own  self-respect  than  to  have  many  worldly  honors  with-

young  man,  after  graduating  from  col- 
ime  to  me  for  advice  I  would  say  to 


First,  make  up  your  mind  that  you  are 
ing  to  lead  an  honest,  industrious  life. 


^^k   ]  ll^H      Next,  that  the  life  you  lead  will  be  clean 
i^^Hk.  wHi    in  every  respect;  that  as  you  go  on  down  life's 
^^H^^I^H   pathway,  you  will  attempt  to  do  unto  others, 
MWM^^BI   as  near  as  may  be,  as  you  would  like  to  be 
done  unto. 
Next,  that  you  will  not  attempt  to  climb  a  ladder  by 
starting  at  the  top,  but  that  you  will  be  willing  to  begin 
down"  at  the  bottom  and  climb  the  ladder  step  by  step. 

Next,  that  you  will  practice  in  your  living  and  in  your 
business  life,  economy,  having  in  mind  at  all  times  that 
**a  dollar  saved  is  as  good  as  two  earned.'' 

The  next  thing  for  the  young  man  to  do  is  to  make  up  his 
mind  about  what  he  thinks  he  would  like  to  do  in  a  business 
or  professional  way  through  life,  and  then  start  at  the  bot- 
tom at  that  thing  and  not  undertake  to  do  something  that  he 
would  not  be  interested  in.   When  once  he  has  decided  upon 
his  course,  he  should  go  at  whatever  the  task  may  be  with  a 
firm  desire  and  intention  of  succeeding  at  it  and  then  be 
prepared  to  stick  to  it  until  he  has  mastered  the  task. 

Too  many  young  men  believe  that  all  they  have  to  do  is 
receive  a  college  education  in  order  to  be  a  success.  What 
a  great  mistake  this  is  I   Men  succeed  through  their  own  ef- 
forts and  not  on  account  of  having  enjoyed  an  education. 

The  opportunities  are  as  great,  if  not  greater,  than  ever 
before  for  the  young  man  who  is  willing  to  start  at  the  bot- 
tom, work,  and  work  intelligently  and  faithfully  and  not 
want  to  begin  where  the  older  man,  who  has  made  a  success, 
leaves  off.   I  believe  that  if  any  young  chap  is  possessed 
of  the  right  determination,  the  future  is  as  bright  as  it 


ever  was.

AUGUSTA,  GA. 


I  feel  deeply  honored  to  be  asked  to  write 
something  which  would  be  of  interest  to  the 
young  men  graduating  from  Oglethorpe  Univer- 
sity. I  also  feel  very  incompetent  to  at- 
tempt such  a  thing,  but  your  inspiring  state- 
ment, "There  are  boys  at  Oglethorpe  who  have 
JLtSf^ ^^  the  will  to  do,"  has  helped  me  considerably. 
^BTia^m  it  seems  to  me  that  if  I  were  going  to 

^^^ — ^^"*^'    deliver  an  address  to  the  young  men  who  are 
about  to  graduate  from  Oglethorpe,  and  enter 
upon  their  chosen  field  of  endeavor,  I  could  wish  for  no 
finer  text  than  this  statement,  "The  will  to  do."   It  is  a 
theme  that  holds  for  me  an  irresistible  appeal,  for  in  my 
philosophy  of  life  AMBITION  is  the  cornerstone  of  success. 
A  young  man  with  an  aggressive  AMBITION  is  bound  to  succeed 
regardless  of  all  draw  backs.   Indeed,  it  is  my  belief  that 
AMBITION  is  a  far  greater  asset  than  natural  gifts.   Many 
men  of  great  natural  gifts  fail  to  apply  their  talent  be- 
cause they  haven't  AMBITION,  while  others,  far  less  capable, 
but  possessed  with  that  wonderful  "will  to  do"  have  scaled 
the  heights  of  success  despite  handicaps. 

It  is  not  going  too  far  to  say  that  knowledge  of  natural 
ability  often  dulls  ambition,  while  it  is  almost  invariably 
true,  a  like  appreciation  of  one's  handicaps  whets  ambition 
to  an  edge  which  cuts  through  all  obstacles.  Of  course,  we 
sometimes  see  an  almost  ideal  combination  of  natural  talent 
and  an  unswerving  ambition.  Then  you  have  a  genius — but  if 
one  were  forced  to  make  a  choice  between  the  two — natural 
ability  and  AMBITION,  you  would  see  that  the  chance  of  suc- 
cess would  be  to  the  man  with  ambition. 


In  every  walk  and  phase  of  life  handicaps  actually  de- 
lop  latent  ability.  There  are  so  many  illustrations  that  I 
am  only  going  to  select  one  or  two  at  random  as  they  come  to 
my  mind. 

Take  Lincoln — think  of  his  handicaps — also  obstacles 
thrown  in  his  way.   Take  Roosevelt,  with  his  lack  of  health 
in  his  formative  period,  and  how  he  went  about  laying  the 
foundation,  which  was  his  physical  self,  to  help  him  toward 
his  wonderful  future  success.   Read  any  of  your  up  to  date 
magazines  that  have  inspirational  stories  of  our  Captains  of 
Industry  and  see  how  they  had  to  fight  to  surmount  the  ob- 
stacles.  They  all  had  the  "will  to  do." 

I  just  happen  to  remember  a  case  in  football — if  I  mis- 
take not  the  name  of  the  boy  in  question  was  Daley.  He  had 
the  terrible  physical  handicap  of  being  club-footed.   He 
wanted  to  play  football  and  was  turned  down  at  one  college 
without  even  a  trial — he  entered  another  and  fought  up  into 
the  ranks  of  "the  stars"  in  his  game. 

Take  our  great  national  pastime.   Just  think  of  the  suc- 
cess of  men  like  Meadows  (a  pitcher  who  has  gained  quite  a 
bit  of  success  in  the  National  league)  and  Torporcer,  an  in- 
fielder  with  St.  Louis.  These  men  have  the  physical  handi- 
cap of  poor  vision — they  even  wear  glasses  on  the  playing 
field.   Think  of  the  AMBITION  that  must  have  driven  them  on 
to  the  point  where  they  hold  their  own  in  one  of  the  two 
best  baseball  leagues  in  the  whole  conntry.   Then  there  is 
three-fingered  Brown — minus  his  index,  and  a  par£  of  his 
pitching  hand.  Just  think  what  a  star  he  was. 

Now  when  you  reflect  over  these  men  doesn't  it  seem  a 
shame  that  a  man  with  all  of  his  faculties  can't  go  out  and 
make  to  success  in  any  field  which  he  might  select?

THOMAS  LEE   AARON 

A.B.   IX  EDUCATION 


"7  wish  to  preach  not  the  doctrine  of  igno- 
ble ease,  but  the  doctrine  of  the  strenuous 
life." 

Entered  in  1923  from  Atlanta  Theological  Seminary. 
Thomas  is  a  man  who  believes  more  in 
living  his  religion  than  in  spending  time 
in  talking  about  it.  It  is  a  sad,  but  true 
fact  that  most  preachers  don't  get  along 
very  well  with  college  boys,  when  they  have 
to  live  with  them;  therefore,  all  the  more 
credit  is  due  Aaron,  whom  everyone  on 
the  campus  likes.  Thomas  believes  that  ed- 
ucation is  one  of  the  first  steps  toward 
Christianity,  and  when  he  gets  out  and 
starts  preaching  he  expects  to  play  a  big 
part  in  the  service  of  humanity.  When  at 
the  Atlanta  Theological  Seminary  he  won 
the  medal  for  the  highest  average  in  all 
studies  for  the  year.  He  has  rendered  a 
great  service  to  the  students  by  the  exam- 
ple he  has  set  for  them. 


ALFRED   NEWTON   ADAMS 


A.B.   IX   SCIENCE

'Rome 


not  built  in  one  day." 


Few  men  with  a  wife  and  family  have 
the  courage  to  change  horses  in  the  mid- 
dle of  the  stream,  but  Alfred  decided  that 
he  wanted  to  be  a  doctor,  so  after  hearing 
Doctor  Gaertner  describe  Oglethorpe  he 
made  up  his  mind  that  this  was  the  place 
for  him  to  do  his  pre-med  work.  When 
someone  was  asked  if  he  had  any  peculiari- 
ties, they  said,  "Well,  he  is  in  the  habit  of 
emphasizing  all  of  his  jokes  by  pounding 
his  hearers  on  the  back."  Possibly  this 
makes  them  quicker  to  see  the  point.  If 
Alfred  wants  something  he  believes  in  get- 
ting it  no  matter  how  long  it  takes  him, 
whether  it  be  a  cat  for  biology  or  an  A.B. 
Degree. 

Alfred  has  persistence,  a  pleasant  ap- 
proach, and  more  than  his  share  of  cour- 
age. He  will  be  a  doctor  some  day,  if  the 
medical  books  aren't  destroyed — if  they 
were  he  would  probably  wait  until  some 
more  were  written — and  with  the  qualities 
he  has  he  will  make  good. 


JOHN  WESLEY  AGEE

Cogdell,    Ga. 

"To  wait  like  a  ghost  that  is  speechless,  till 
some  questioning  voice  dissolves  the  spell 
of  its  silence." 

Cross  Country  Team  '24. 

For  several  days  after  fall  registration, 
boys  rooming  on  the  third  floor  were  afraid 
to  be  alone,  they  said  that  there  was  a 
ghost  in  their  midst,  a  ghost  that  some- 
times followed  them  to  classes  and  always 
to  the  dining  room.  One  day  Dr.  Nick 
called  on  A  gee,  and  he  spoke. 

Possibly  this  quality  of  silence  is  just 
a  form  of  economy  with  John,  because  when 
he  was  at  the  University  of  Wyoming  he 
was  prominent  in  debating  and  in  the  Play- 
ers Club  of  that  school.  His  studies  have 
been  his  principal  interest  at  Oglethorpe, 
and  he  ranks  near  the  top  of  his  class.

ing is  worth  paying  for.  Determination 
sticks  out  all  over  him;  he  has  shown  this 
quality  by  making  his  way  through  school, 
by  working  at  night  in  the  Southern  Rail- 
road shops,  and  by  his  gruelling  activity 
on  the  cross  country  team.  He  has  one  of 
the  greatest  gifts  that  man  can  have — a

Sam's  idea  of  a  perfect  world  is  an  island 
— an  island  littered  with  fair  women.  He 
would  like  to  be  the  only  man  there  for 
several  years,  long  enough  to  work  up  a 
harem  of  adoring  young  things.  The  dream 
would  then  be  complete  if  he  could  have  a 
few,  a  very  few  of  his  friends  over,  say 
"I've  got  a  good  looking  girl  I  want  you 
to  meet;"  then  snap  his  fingers  and  have 
blondes  and  brunettes,  crawl  to  his  feet. 
But,  in  spite  of  Sam's  love  for  women  he 
is  always  willing  to  do  his  part  whether 
it  be  handing  someone  a  muffin,  taking  a 
hand  at  bridge,  or  building  a  fence  around 
the  athletic  field.  Sam's  good  nature  al- 
ways makes  a  place  for  him  by  the  stove

MILLEDGE   HENDRIX    BROWER 

A.B.   IN   COMMENCE 

Atlanta,  Ga. 

"And    my    veil    no    mortal    ever    took    up." 

Entered  from   Georgia   Tec'i   in    11124. 

Milledge  is  taking  his  degree  in  the  school 
of  commerce,  but  if  he  ever  decides  to  teach, 
there  is  a  wonderful  place  open  to  him  as 
assistant  in  the  school  of  journalism.  When 
the  cocky  young  reporters  finish  their 
course,  if  they  are  sent  to  interview  Assist- 
ant Instructor  Brower  to  get  the  story  of 
his  life,  they  will  come  back  in  a  few  hours 
with  a  blank  expression  and  blank  paper. 
If  Milledge  failed  to  like  teaching,  he 
would  make  a  wonderful  train  caller;  the 
result  would  be  the  same,  with  a  lot  less 
fuss. 

Milled.ge  has  worked  some  during  the 
summer  in  his  father's  candy,  business,  and 
expects  to  make  things  hum  when  he  learns 
the  business,  and  has  a  chance  to  apply 
some  of  the  knowledge  he  has  acquired  at 
Oglethorpe. 


PEYTON   SKIPWITH   COLES 


Atlanta,  Ga. 

"The   reward   of   a   thing   well   done   is   to

With  Peyton  it  is  the  old  story  of  the 
monuments;  those  who  need  them  don't 
deserve  them,  and  those  who  deserve  them 
don't  need   them. 

He  entered  Oglethorpe  from  the  Univer- 
sity School,  and  in  spite  of  the  handicap  of 
impaired  faculties  of  speech  and  hearing, 
graduated  in  three  years  and  one  summer 
school.  He  is  not  a  genius,  just  like  the 
rest  of  us,  and  he  had  to  work  like  a  dog 
to  get  through  with  this  added  amount  of 
work.  You  might  think  Peyton  would  have 
had  a  hard  time  being  one  of  the  boys,  but 
don't  think  so  for  a  minute,  if  the  baseball 
team  had  to  go  to  Buford  his  care  was  al- 
ways forthcoming,  and  no  one  enjoyed  the 
trip  and  game  more  than  he.

Gibson  is  one  of  the  last  of  the  old  school

wide  experience  wth  cats  in  the  Biolo^-y  lab 
has  caused  this.  It  would  be  hard  to  say 
that  he  has  specialized  in  any  study,  as  hi 
has  done  more  than  the  average  student  in 
Chemistry,  Biology,  and  English.  He  spe- 
cialized in  these  first  two  sciences,  but  still 
had  some  unused  time  and  with  the  help  of 
A.  H.,  wrote  "Set  For  Midnight."  which 
was  one  of  the  three  plays  presented  at

Sparky,  in  our  minds,  will  always  be  con- 
nected with  the  Mercer  game  of  '23.  On 
the  kick-off  Mercer  ran  through  the  en- 
tire Oglethorpe  team  for  a  touchdown.  The 
Petrels  started  fighting  and  Maurer  was 
called  on  for  a  gain  at  almost  every  p^ay; 
his  work  looked  like  a  miracle.  On  one 
run  he  reversed  his  field  three  times;  but 
as  soon  as  the  Petrels  neared  the  Mercer 
goal,  they  were  stopped.  Adrian  was  so 
exhausted  he  could  hardly  walk,  only  a 
few  minutes  were  left  to  play,  the  ball 
ten  yards  from  the  Mercer  goal,  Maurer 
staggered  toward  the  sidelines  and  put  his 
head  in  his  hands;  he  was  called  on  the 
next  play  and  with  strength  drawn  from 
somewhere — not  from  his  limp  body — car- 
ried the  ball  over  for  the  winning  score.

There  are  few  men  on  the  campus  whose

of  service  he  has  developed  a  hard  boiled 
outer  crust  with  which  he  protects  the

this  crust  about  with  him,  and  if  you  took 
Rich  for  what  he  attempts  to  appear  you 
would  think  that  he  was  the  first  man 
to  eat  nails  and  sleep  with  alligators.  Rich 
is  afraid  to  let  the  world  know  that  there

Senior  Class  History 


Life  itself  is,  and  always  has  been,  a  battle,  and  every  battle  must  end  in  victory 
or  defeat.  Down  deep  in  the  strata  of  the  earth,  as  well  as  upon  its  surface,  we  find 
the  marks  of  the  great  conflicts  that  have  always  been  waging.  In  measuring  the  ex- 
tent of  our  victory,  the  class  of  '25  is  proud  of  the  many  individual  and  collective 
feats  it  has  accomplished. 

Back  in  the  dark  ages  of  our  Freshman  year  when  we  were  enshrouded  in  a  veil 
of  ignorance,  we  managed  to  creep  out  and  venture  into  the  activities  of  our  college. 
We  were  represented  in  football  by  Crowe,  Porter,  and  Quarles;  in  baseball  by 
Ferguson,  Hope,  Kemp,  Porter,  Martin  and  Partridge;  in  track  by  Crowe  and  Tucker; 
in  basketlsall  by  Tucker,  and  in  the  Players  Club  by  Morrow.  In  the  spring  of  '22 
J.  D.  Baxter  won  the  cross-country  run  which  added  another  laurel  to  our  class. 

In  the  Sophomore  year  we  returned  to  college  with  the  determination  to  make 
the  class  of  '25  the  best  class  in  the  history  of  Oglethorpe.  How  many  joyous  re- 
miniscences, how  many  bright  and  glowing  pictures  of  bygone  days  arose  in  their 
shadowy  review  before  us,  as  we  traced  our  steps  through  our  Freshman  days.  But 
alas — we  were  full-fledged  Sophs! 

In  our  Sophomore  year  we  contributed  two  more  men,  Maurer  and  Hamrick,  to 
the  football  team.  This  team  of  '22  was  coached  by  Russell  Stein,  and  was  the  first 
Petrel  team  to  score  on  the  Golden  Tornado  of  Georgia  Tech  which  happened  when 
Adrian  Maurer  ran  95  yards  from  the  kick-off  for  a  touchdown. 

Ferguson,  Hope,  Partridge,  Kemp,  Porter,  and  Willis  were  the  baseball  men  of 
our  Sophomore  year;  Porter  represented  us  in  boxing;  Tucker  and  Orovitz  in  track; 
and  Conklin,  Hope,  Mason,  Morrow,  and  Tucker  in  the  Players  Club.  Morrow,  Conk- 
lin,  and  Mason  played  leads  in  the  spring  productions  of  the  plays  which  were  pre- 
sented at  the  Atlanta  Theatre. 

In  the  pursuit  of  higher  education  we  lost  many  valuable  members  in  our  Junior 
year.  Scruggs,  O'Neal,  Gordy,  Martin,  Jackson,  L.  Pfefferkorn,  R.  Pfefferkorn,  Mc- 
Mekin  and  Misses  Gore,  Kellam,  Foster,  and  Broughton  entered  the  class  of  '24  by 
means  of  work  done  at  summer  school. 

In  our  Junior  year  we  were  represented  in  football  by  Crowe,  Hamrick,  Porter, 
Maurer  and  Quarles;  in  baseball  by  Ferguson,  Hope,  Maurer,  Kemp,  Partridge, 
Porter,  and  Willis;  in  boxing  by  Porter;  in  track  by  Tucker  and  Orovitz.  The  former 
won  the  pole  vault  and  high  jump  at  the  state  meet.  To  the  Players  Club  we  gave 
six  members  of  the  class,  two  of  whom.  Morrow  and  Conklin,  took  leading  parts. 

We  received  into  our  class  this  year  Bagwell,  Coles,  Cornwell,  McCormack,  Oro- 
vitz, Willis,  Agee,  Brower,  McWhorter,  and  Mrs.  West. 

Last  and  best  of  all-Senior  year  ....  "Tempus  fugit."  Soon  we  must  cross 
the  threshold  and  leave  the  best  we  got  from  college  clays — our  friends. 

Wendell  Crowe,  president  of  the  Senior  class,  began  to  show  his  will  and  his 
determination  to  defend  a  principle  in  his  Sophomore  year  by  the  stand  he  took  on 
the  ROW  famous  rat-court  affair.  Besides  four  years  of  football  he  was  business 
manager  of  the  Player's  Club  and  as  much  in  touch  with  student  activities  as  any 
man  on  the  campus. 


Fifty-Three 


We  have  taken  our  full  part  in  college  life  this  year  as  most  of  the  leaders  of 
the  different  activities  have  come  from  our  class.  Ross  Kemp  was  captain  of  the 
baseball  team;  Dan  Conklin,  editor  of  the  Petrel;  John  Ottley,  editor  of  the  Yama- 
craw;  Paul  Wilkes,  president  of  the  student  body;  Mitchell  Bishop,  president  of  the 
debating  society,  and  Grace  Mason,  Mother  of  the  co-eds. 

On  the  football  team  were  Crowe,  Hamrick,  Maurer,  Quarles,  and  Tucker;  in 
the  Players  Club,  Conklin,  Crowe,  Durham,  Hope,  Mason,  Morrow,  Ottley,  Spears 
and  Tucker.  "My  Word,"  one  of  the  spring  plays  presented  at  the  Atlanta  Theatre 
was  written  by  John  Ottley. 

Camp,  Cornwell,  Mason,  McCormack,  Ottley  and  Partridge  are  wearers  of  the 
coat-of-arms  sweater,  the  highest  scholastic  honor  which  our  Alma  Mater  can  award. 
Camp,  Conklin,  Crowe,  Hamrick,  Mason,  Maurer,  McCormack,  Ottley,  Partridge, 
Porter,  and  Wilkes  are  members  of  honorary  fraternities. 

To  we  Seniors  it  seems  the  beginning  of  a  new  era  of  bright  skies,  sunny  days 
and  the  lovely  promise  of  a  rich  harvest  in  after-times. 

June!     Commencement!     Farewell! — but  we'll  always  remember: 


For  four  long  years  in  union  sweet. 
We've  often  met,  and  kindly  ever: 
Tomorrow — and  again  we'll  meet 

And  part  again,  but  part  forever 
Asunder  torn,  at  random  tossed. 

Some  hopes  preserved  and  many  lost. 

0  for  a  hand  aside  to  fling 
The  veil  that  hides  futurity; 

To  shotv  events  that  time  will  bring. 
To  show  the  men  that  we  ivill  be 

The  joys,  the  sorrows  that  we  will  have 
How  spend  a  life,  where  find  a  game. 

However  bright,  however  drear. 

May  be  lifes  coming  changeful  weather 

The  friends  of  youth  will  still  be  dear 
And  dear  the  hours  ive  spent  together 

Hope's  wishes  die,  life's  tendrils  sever, 
But  memory's  stores  are  here  foerver. 

So  in  life's  course  should  we  e'er  meet. 
With  those  we  loved  when  we  were  young. 

Whose  features  pictured  kind  and  sweet. 
In  memory's  temple  we  liave  hung. 

How  would  their  face  bring  to  view 
The  scenes,  the  joyS'that  boyhood  knew." 

—GRACE  MASON, 

Historian.

For  The  Class  of  1925 

In  this  supremest  hour,  we  stand  at  last 
Among  that  gallant  company,  for  ivhom 

Life  opens  doors  into  a  wider  room. 

Before  us  passes  statesman,  dreamer,  sage; 

The  future  is  a  challenge,  and  the  past 
A  glorious  heritage. 

We  may  not  daily  do  a  mighty  deed, 

But  through  the  rich  traditions  we  have  brought, 
Out  of  these  years;  may  hold,  to  meet  our  need, 

Daily,  a  mighty  thought. 

There  have  been  dreams  along  this  sunrise  way. 

Where  youth  has  shared  its  raptures  and  its  fears — 

Dreams  we  may  shape  anew  each  dawning  day. 
Yet  hold  the  colors  of  these  sheltered  years, 

That  one  more  noble  than  the  rest,  may  be 
At  last,  a  wonderful  reality. 

April  and  dawn  are  ours,  and  all  the  high 
And  living  messages  those  masters  gave. 

Whose  words  were  deathless,  when  their  souls  went  by. 
To  speak  to  us  forever  from  the  grave. 

Today  we  have  the  treasure  of  a  past. 

More  rich  than  any  yester  years  could  be 

In  promise  and  in  prophecy. 

We  have  known  great  companions;  books  and  men, 

Whose  fruitful  inspiration  shall  outlast 

This  path  of  youth  we  may  not  tread  again. 

The  datvn  is  ours,  but  shall  come  at  last 

The  noon,  the  tranquil  starlight,  and  grave  age. 

Nor  shall  all  these  be  less  than  noble,  with  a  past, 
That  is  a  glorious  heritage. 

— Mary  Brent  Whiteside.

Junior  Class  History 


Since  Confucius  first  gathered  his  disciples  for  the  distribution  of  knowl- 
edge, it  has  been  the  ethics  of  a  class  historian  not  only  to  stress,  but  to  break 
as  many  hyperboles  as  possible  in  the  glorification  of  his  fellows.  He,  it  is 
who  goes  out  to  do  battle  for  the  rest.  Probably  some  unknown  Yen  was  the 
first  to  acclaim  the  greatness  of  other  Yens,  Chows,  and  Fus,  so  that  posterity 
might  know  beyond  doubt  that  his  was  the  "first"  class.  The  advantage  rested 
with  him,  therefore,  and  later  historians  have  labored  under  the  handicap 
ever  since,  for  Yen's  lies  were  not  lies,  which  is  a  paradox.     But  so  be  it. 

The  class  of  eighty  that  spread  over  the  campus  in  September,  1922, 
was  not  the  greatest  Freshman  class  in  history,  but  it  was  as  great  as  any  in 
its  determination  to  battle  Sophomores.  And  its  metamorphosis  of  three 
years  has  been  pleasing  to  say  the  least.  For  by  giving  to  the  football  team 
five  men,  including  Parrish,  the  captain-elect  for  1925,  and  to  the  baseball 
team  three,  it  has  proven  an  equal  to  its  predecessors.  In  addition,  the  busi- 
ness manager  and  assistant  editor  of  the  Petrel  were  Juniors.  The  high  point, 
however,  was  the  debating  team  of  1923,  the  team  composed  of  Orovitz, 
Bishop,  and  Pearlstine,  all  members  of  the  class,  which  defeated  Tech  and 
Emory.  Two  of  the  trio  are  back  and  it  seems  probable  a  third  will  be  chosen 
from  the  same  class. 

Next  to  the  aforementioned  team,  the  success  in  Dramatics  will  be  re- 
membered. Of  the  three  Spring  plays,  two  were  written  by  class  members, 
"Seein  God,"  by  Gladys  Hurtell,  and  "Set  For  Midnight,"  by  Harden  and 
Cornwall,  while  the  music  for  the  third  was  done  by  Thelma  Doyal.  Five 
members  took  major  parts  in  the  productions. 

Notable  also  is  the  predominance  of  class  members  in  the  Petrel's 
"Who's  Who"  contest.  In  a  list  of  thirty  "places"  the  Junior  class  is  first 
with  eleven,  a  clear  indication  of  popularity  among  the  students. 


As  the  span  draws  nearer  its  end,  we  see  more  clearly  many  of  those 
things  for  which  Alma  Mater  stands.  And  if  some  of  us  have  not  gained  as 
yet  the  sought-for  ends,  the  Junior  Class  as  a  body  may  sing  with  the  ballad- 
singer: 

"/'//  but  lie  down  and  bleed  a  while. 
And  then  I'll  rise  and  fight  again." 

— James  Larwood,  Histor.

Sopkomore  Class  History 

"Here's  where  we  may  turn  and  go 
Down  paths  of  memory 
Back  to  the  land  ive  used  to  know, 
The  land  of  used — to — be." 

My!  There's  such  a  lot  we  want  to  remember  about  our  first  two  years  at  Ogle- 
thorpe. Can  you  think  of  anything  finer  than  the  fact  that  our  Freshman  Class,  of 
'26  was  the  largest  to  enter  Oglethorpe — and  that  104  of  the  class  returned  as  Sopho- 
mores. Not  only  the  greatness  in  number  of  the  class  of  '27  is  notable,  but  its  strength 
and  ability  represented  in  all  college  activities  stands  out. 

We  can't  go  any  further  without  a  word  of  tribute  to  our  president,  Ed  Miles. 
Not  only  the  Sophomore  Class,  but  the  entire  student  body  realizes  his  splendid  ser- 
vice to  Oglethorpe.  "Ed  Miles  has  the  outlook,  both  of  the  student  and  the  man  of 
the  Church."  One  vice-president  has  served  both  years,  and  in  "Nutty"  Campbell,  we 
have  had  one  of  the  finest  possible  executives.  In  our  Freshman  year,  Elizabeth  Hope 
was  Secretary  and  Treasurer,  and  in  the  Sophomore  year  Oliver  Gramling  filled  the 
place.     Both  certainly  proved  their  ability. 

Now  for  athletics  and  the  honors  that  the  Sophomore  Class  can  claim.  In  foot- 
ball, letters  were  made  by  Hardin,  Redfearn,  Justus,  Campbell,  Cousins,  Carroll  and 
Slaton.  Representatives  in  baseball  were:  Terrell,  Buchanan,  Cousins,  Barbee, 
Campbell,  Justus  and  Chestnutt.  Four  Sophomores  made  it  possible  for  Oglethorpe 
to  have  a  boy's  basketball  team  this  past  year.  Redfearn,  Campbell,  Slaton  and 
Chestnutt,  as  captain,  formed  a  team  and  played  six  games,  three  of  which  they  won. 
The  Sophomore  Co-Eds  were  also  represented  in  basketball  by  lone  Thompson,  Alter- 
nate Captain;  Sarah  Magill,  Manager  and  Evelyn  Mitchell,  guard.  Brannon  and 
Hardin  were  Sophomore  members  of  the  Golf  Club.  Burton,  Captain;  Boone  and 
Wright  were  representatives  in  track. 

In  both  the  Sigma  Lambda  and  Alpha  Kappa  Literary  Societies,  the  sophomores 
were  well  represented.  Two  of  that  class  made  the  boy's  debating  team,  Ginn  and 
Yates.  The  Petrel  staff  also  included  four  sophomores,  Ed  Miles,  Sport  Editor;  W.  A. 
Shands,  Exchange  Editor;  Sarah  Magill,  Society  Editor  and  Thomas  Moss,  Circulation 
Manager. 

Barber,  Semon,  Gibson  and  Holloway  played  in  the  Oglethorpe  orchestra,  and 
in  the  Glee  Club  were  Justus,  Hardin,  Campbell,  Brown,  Austin,  McNeil  and  Howell. 
The  Sophomore  Class  can  claim  sixteen  members  of  the  Players  Club  as  well  as  two 
authors  of  the  Spring  Plays,  Josephine  Eichberg  and  Oliver  Gramling. 

"As  time  who  steals  our  years  away 
Shall  steal  our  pleasures,  too. 
The  memory  of  the  past  will  stay 
And  half  our  joys  reneiv." 

Sarah  Magill,  Historian.

God  Give  Me  Eyes 


God  give  me  seeing  eyes 

For  Beauty,  ivhere  it  lies! 
Let  me  not  miss  it,  though  its  form  be  new, 

Nor  fail  to  find  it  in  a  strange  disguise; 
Oh  let  me  see  and  knoiv  that  it  is  true — 

God  give  me  seeing  eyes 
For  Beauty,  where  it  lies! 

But  let  Pretense  not  wear 

The  mask  of  Beauty  fair. 
Nor  steal  my  homage  from  her  shrine  away! 

Let  me  see  clearly  and  the  Truth  declare — 
//  /  acclaim  the  false,  my  false  pen  stay! 

Oh,  let  Pretense  not  ivear 
The  mask  of  Beauty  fair! 


And,  God,  do  not  withhold 

My  eyes  from  Beauty  old! 
Let  me  see  the  Light,  eternal,  true! 

Let  me  that  light  still  struggle  to  uphold. 
Nor  cast  aside  the  old  lamp  for  the  new — 

Dear  God,  do  not  withhold 
My  eyes  from  Beauty  old! 

The  soul  of  me  for  Beauty  ever  cries — 
God  give  me  eyes  to  see  it  where  it  lies!

Freskman  Class  History 


It  must  be  admitted,  that  on  September  '24,  when  one  hundred  and 
eighty-three  of  us  congregated  around  the  lobby  of  the  Administration  Build- 
ing, we  were  a  motley  looking  crowd.  The  only  point  of  similarity  was  our 
little  gold  and  black  caps  which  we  were  forced  to  buy  at  the  earliest  possible 
date.  However,  it  took  us  but  a  few  minutes  to  redeem  the  ignominy  of  our 
looks  by  our  prowess  as  a  class. 

The  Sophomores  bothered  us  but  little,  as  we  outnumbered  them.  You 
could  usually  find  us  mi.xed  up  in  any  excitement  that  was  ever  started — 
and  we  started  some  of  it  ourselves.  Still  we  can  say  with  pride  that  most 
of  us  have  survived  exams,  and  various  other  pitfalls  that  the  Profs,  have 
persisted  in  digging  for  us. 

At  our  first  meeting  as  an  organized  class,  we  elected  Lewis  Moseley, 
President;  H.  I.  Baby  Spencer,  Vice-President;  Roy  Hancock,  Secretary  and 
Treasurer. 

Shortly  after,  the  Freshman  girls  were  formally  initiated.  They  gave 
a  Sunday  afternoon  tea  at  Nancy  Stribling's  home  for  the  Sophomore  girls 
and  the  members  of  the  Faculty. 

The  Woman's  Board  decided  that  we  Freshmen  should  become  better 
acquainted;  so  after  the  football  victory  over  Sewanee,  we  were  honored  by 
an  informal  dance  at  the  Capital  City  Club,  with  four  members  of  our  class. 
Cathcart,  Underwood,  Martin  and  Christian,  contributing  their  part  in  the 
Oglethorpe  Orchestra. 

The  Freshman  Football  team  was  a  whiz,  winning  six  out  of  eight  games. 
Those  receiving  Jerseys  were:  Moseley,  Spencer,  Grimes,  Carter,  Garlington, 
Dekle,  Wright,  Wingo,  Chastain,  Guthrie,  Watkins,  Hutson,  Brinson,  King, 
Gordy,  Boswell,  White,  Goldsmith  and  Gilreath.  Evelyn  Hollingsworth, 
Evelyn  Grady  and  Mildred  Hatcher  represented  the  Freshmen  on  the  Co-Ed 
varsity  basketball  team. 

By  the  eighth  of  November  the  class  had  begun  to  appreciate  itself  so 
much,  that  it  was  decided  to  do  something  no  other  class  had  ever  attempted 
— to  give  a  dance.  Giving  it  after  the  Mercer  game,  we  invited  the  Mercer 
football  players,  and  upperclassmen.    The  experiment  was  a  great  success. 

We  have  won  our  share  of  attention  from  everyone.  We  also  have 
obeyed  the  rules  of  the  game  and  if  the  class  continues  as  it  has  begun,  there 
are  wonderful  prospects  for  the  class  of  1928.

Football 

Out  of  a  nightmare  of  possibly  the  weirdest  season  in  the  history  of  the 
pigskin  sport,  a  session  filled  to  overflow  with  upsets  and  surprises,  Ogle- 
thorpe's scrappy  band  of  gridders  emerged  dope  champions  of  the  world  by 
comparative  scores,  and  by  actual  combat,  champions  of  the  oldest  Dixie  or- 
ganization, the  Southern  Intercollegiate  Athletic  Association.  True,  Centre, 
also  a  member  of  the  S.I. A. A.  had  accounted  for  a  wonderful  scoreboard, 
but  the  Colonels  had  met  and  defeated  only  one  other  member  of  the  associa- 
tion, while  the  Stormy  Petrels  had  backed  up  their  claim  to  leadership  honors 
by  six  decisive  victories. 

The  Oglethorpe  '24  collegiate  football  accomplishments  reads  as  a  page 
from  modernized  Arabian  Knights.  There  was  her  spectacular  route  of 
Mercer,  dope  laden  to  the  extent  of  29  points  following  the  Bears'  triumph 
over  the  highly  tooted  Florida  'Gators,  the  Petrels'  inspired  stand  against  the 
ferocious  Sewanee  Tigers,  later  winners  over  Vanderbilt,  who  just  the  week 
before  had  raised  the  Dixie  flag  above  a  conquered  northern  eleven.  There 
were  other  victories  that  paved  the  way  for  Oglethorpe's  just  claim  of  S.I.A.A. 
leadership,  otiier  wins  possibly  just  as  important  as  those  over  Mercer  and 
Sewanee,  but  the  impregnable  defense  that  the  Petrels  placed  in  the  way  of 
Bear  and  Tiger  alike,  the  not-to-be-denied  offense  that  cut  to  pieces  desperate, 
fighting  rival  players  at  the  same  time,  sent  an  ever  loyal  student  body  wild 
and  wooly. 

To  place  one's  finger  on  one,  two  or  more  heads  and  say  "There's  where 
the  credit  lies  for  Oglethorpe's  most  successful  grid  force"  would  be  doing  a 
grave  injustice  to  others  connected  and  associated  with  Oglethorpe's  '24  foot- 
ball grid   schedule.     There  was   Coach   Harry   Robertson,    succeeding  his 
brother  "Big   Jim"   at  a  time  when   dark 
iC '  clouds  were  hovering  over  the  Petrel  strong- 

hold, there  was  Captain  Adrian  Maurer,  ad- 
mired for  his  ability  on  the  gridiron  and 
diamond,  l^ut  loved  by  his  fellow-students 


Ninetrj-Two 


because  in  that  enviable  make-up  there  was  no  trace 

of  snobbishness  or  the  least  sign  of  the  swagger  of  the 

great'  athlete.     Then  too,  there  was  a  line,  a  backfield 

and  reserves  that  gave  their  all  for  the  University  and 

also  a  freshman  team,  a  band  of  youngsters  to  whom 

no  small  part  of  the  credit  goes,  for,  afternoon  after 

afternoon,  hour  after  hour,  they  toiled,  whipping  into 

shape  the  varsity  that  was  to  carry  so  successfully  the 

laurels  of  the  Stormy  Petrels. 

^  ^_  Last,  far  from  least,  was  a  loyal  student  body,  a 

MX  following  that  had  backed  the  gridders,  win  or  lose, 

in  success  and  in  failure. 

When  the  initial  call  for  candidates  for  the  Oglethorpe  eleven  was  an- 
swered on  September  1,  eleven  veterans  failed  to  respond,  graduation,  busi- 
ness and  marriage  taking  a  great  toll  of  the  experienced  players,  but  ten  main- 
stays, many  of  them  stars  in  '23  were  in  the  list  returning.  Coaches  Harry 
and  Jim  Robertson,  with  the  opening  game  only  a  few 
weeks  off,  started  to  mould  an  eleven  that  was  destined 
to  sink  into  the  sea  of  despondency  at  the  start,  but  later, 
by  truQ  courage  and  dogged  determination,  to  ascend  to 
the  very  top  of  Mt.  Everest. 

A  relentless,  terrific  September  sun  bore  down  on 
die  forty  odd  candidates  from  which  the  championship 
eleven  was  to  be  shaped,  practices  were  held  morning  and  corliss 

afternoon,  six  days  out  of  the  week.  Injuries  were  many,  the  entire  squad 
was  bruised  and  battered  by  necessary  long,  hard  scrimmages.  Adrian 
Maurer  suffered  an  infected  foot  just  four  days  before  the  opening  game. 
Clay  Parrish  was  absent  several  days  with  a  bad  leg  that  would  have  kept  the 
average  gridder  on  the  side  lines  in  "cits"  for  the  remainder  of  the  year, 
otlier  veterans  were  on  the  injured  list,  but  the  entire  squad 
rallied  bravely  for 

The  Tech  Game — Sept.  27,  at  Grant  Field 

A  water-soaked,  muddy  field,  one  that  brought  back 
memories  of  Flander's  Fields  to  many  ex-service  men  in  the 
large  crowd  that  braved  the  wrath  of  the  elements,  greatly 
handicapped  the  Petrels  as  they  battled  with  the  formidable 
Jacket  eleven.  Counting  upon  their  speed,  their  aerial  at- 
tack, to  overcome  the  weight  handicap  of  the  Tech  players, 
the  Petrels  found  themselves  robbed  by  fate,  disarmed  by

not  falter,  and  when  the  first  quarter  had  become  his- 
tory, Oglethorpe  and  Tech  were  grappling  evenly  in  a 
scoreless  deadlock. 

A  bad  heave  of  the  slippeiy  pigskin,  a  3-point  boot 
after  the  Oglethorpe  defense  had  repulsed  three  savage 
thrusts  of  Wycoff  and  Company,  gave  the  Jackets  a 
none  too  comfortable  5-point  lead  as  the  final  quarter 
opened. 

With  the  ball  in  their  possession  in  the  very 
shadow  of  their  own  goal,  the  Oglethorpe  eleven  elected 
to  gamble,  to  go  down  in  defeat  by  a  large  score  or  as 

victors  cross  the  final  chalk  marker  at  the  Jacket  goal  line.  Two  iurward 
were  heaved,  both  were  completed,  but  as  Tech  players  tackled  the 
the  slippery  ball  evaded  their  arms  and  Tech  recovering,  totaled 
14  points,  the  final  count  of  19  to  0  favoring  the  Jackets.  Though  the  Petrels 
lost,  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  Jackets  totaled  only 
six  first  downs  against  the  Petrel  forwards  during  the 
regular  60-minutes  of  play. 

Fort  Benning — Oct.  4,  at  Columbus 

History  failed  to  repeat  itself  as  the  Petrels  battled 
with  the  Officers,  a  20  to  0  final  going  to  the  Benning 
gridders,  due  to  the  efforts  of  two  former  All-American 
players,  and  the  valuable  addition  of  one  AU-Soutliern 
veteran.  The  Stormy  Petrels  suffered  their  first  defeat 
in  gridiron  competition  with  the  Officers,  all  former  meet- 
ings being  chalked  in  the  Ogletliorpe  won  column.

The  Citadel — Oct.  11,  at  Charleston 


Under  the  dismal  cloud  of  defeat.  Coach  Robertson,  without  the  aid  of 
his  brother  who  had,  according  to  former  plans,  returned  East,  sent  the  Pet- 
rels through  a  hard  week  of  practices,  gave  them 
several  new  plays  and  watched  them  as  they  ac- 
counted for  their  10  to  7  victory  over  Citadel  on 
foreign  soil.  A  forty-yard  drop  kick  from  the  toe 
of  little  "Nutty"  Campbell  being  the  margin  of 
victory. 

WoFFORD — Oct.  17,  at  Anderson 

An  offense  that  had  failed  to  function,  a  line 


Ninety-Four 


that  had  not  hit  its  true  stride,  found  itself  against 
the  Terriers,  the  Petrel  players  totaling  one  of  their 
largest  scores  of  the  season  as  they  ran  rough  shod 
over  tlieir  rivals,  hitting  the  line  and  speeding  around 
the  ends  to  a  decisive  27  to  0  victory.  Captain  Maurer 
found  himself  in  this  meeting,  Kilgore  commenced  a 
drive  that  was  to  label  him  one  of  the  greatest  full 
backs  in  the  South,  and  Alton  Redfearn,  one  of  the 
numerous  reserves,  also  shared  the  limelight. 


Loyola — Oct.  25,  at  New  Orleans 


Outweighed  sixteen  pounds  to  the  man,  facing  over  a  ton  of  human 
bone  and  sinew,  the  Oglethorpe  eleven  divided  honors 
evenly  in  a  13-13  tie  with  the  Loyola  Wolves,  the  meeting 
being  one  of  the  cleanest,  most  sportsmanlike  battles  ever 
witnessed.  This  game  in  New  Orleans  marked  the  opening 
of  athletic  relations  between  the  two  institutions,  and  never 
has  a  Dixie  delegation  been  more  royally  entertained.  The 
Wolves  scored  in  the  first  and  third  quarters,  due  to  the 
flashy  work  of  "Deuce"  Demengeux,  while  the  Petrel 
counters  all  came  in  the  second  period  as  Maurer,  Kilgore, 
and  Redfearn,  by  straight  football  devoid  of  all  frills,  car- 
ried the  oval  down  the  field,  Kilgore  plunging  across  the 
final  marker  for  Oglethorpe's  initial  score.     On  a  beauti-  """'  *'    '" 

ful  40-yard  run,  Redfearn  side-stepped  and  stiff-armed  his  "^  ^^"  ^'^^^ 

way  through  practically  the  entire  Loyola  defense  for  the  final  Petrel  score. 
Both  teams  totaled  one  of  the  two  attempts  for  the  extra  point  after  touchdown. 


Sewanee — Nov.  1,  at  Ponce  de  Leon 

An  inspired  band  of  Oglethorpe  gridders,  bloody  and 
exliausted,  out-fought  and  out-scored  Sewanee's  powerful 
Tiger  eleven  by  a  7  to  0  count,  the  Petrel  win  marking  the 
first  of  its  kind  in  the  history  of  athletic  competition  betwen 
the  two  universities.  Linton  Cooper  and  Charles  Corliss, 
two  star  linesmen,  who  were  held  out  of  the  Loyola  fracus 
by  Coach  Robertson,  were  returned  to  the  fold  and  aided 
materially  in  the  greatest  victory  of  Oglethorpe's  gridiron 
history.

The  laurels  of  that  battle  go,  not  to  a  side- 
stepping, twisting,  back,  but  to  two  lines  that 
grappled  through  60  minutes  of  play,  neither 
asking  nor  receiving  ground.  Sewanee  with  her 
backfield  of  fast  stepping  stars,  Oglethorpe  with 
her  illustrious  Adrian  Maurer,  were  unable  to 
penetrate  consistently  each  others  defense,  the 
winning  score  coming  as  the  result  of  a  20-yard 
flip  from  Campbell  to  Carroll  that  placed  the 
pigskin  on  the  8-yard  line.  Kilgore  delivering 
the    needed    yardage    a    moment    later   through   center

Howard — Nov.  8,  at  Birmingham 


Though  badly  bruised  in  their  sensational  win  over  Sewanee,  who  later 
in  the  season  triumphed  over  Vanderbilt,  con- 
querors in  an  intersectional  tilt  with  Minnesota, 
the  Petrels  won  easily  over  Howard's  gridders, 
the  larger  end  of  a  32  to  7  score  coming  to  Coach 
Robertson's  charges. 

^^^  St.  Louis — Nov.  15,  at  St.  Louis 

PERKF.USO.X  jj^  jj^g  Petrel's  first  intersectional  battle,  St. 

Louis  bested  the  Oglethorpe  gridders  by  an  18  to  6  score.  With  the  Mercer 
tilt  coming  the  following  week.  Coach  Robertson  elected  to  save  some  of 
his  stars  as  the  game  with  the  Bears,  outside  of  the  usual  keen  rivalry,  also 
carried  with  it  the  championship  of  the  S.LA.A. 

Bob  Kilgore  again  tallied  the  Oglethorpe  score, 
the  Petrel's  total  coming  in  the  first  quarter,  while  St. 
Louis'  scores  were  divided  equally  in  the  remaining 
three  periods. 

Mercer — Nov.  22,  at  Ponce  de  Leon 

A  dope-laden  Mercer  eleven,  confident  in  its 
strength  shown  one  week  earlier  by  a  decisive  10  to  0 
victory  over  Florida,  fell  before  the  consistent,  alert  at- 
tack of  a  rejuvenated  Oglethorpe  attack,  the  25  to  0 
final  being  one  of  the  greatest  dope  upsets  in  the  South- 


Ninety-Six 


land.  Mercer,  by  her  victory  over  the  'Gators,  had 
gained  the  dope  championship  of  the  nation,  only  to 
lose  this  honor,  together  with  the  championship  of  the 
S.I. A. A.,  to  the  Stormy  Petrel  force. 

The  Petrels  showed  their  superiority  in  every  de- 
partment, even  the  Bear's  celebrated  aerial  attack  being 
used  to  advantage  by  Oglethorpe  linesmen  and  backs 
alike. 


Chattanooga — Nov.  27,  at  Chattanooga 


Oglethorpe  closed  her  most  successful  venture  on  the 
gridiron^  with  a  big  Turkey-Day  celebration  at  the  expense 
of  the  Chattanooga  Moccasins,  the  ringing  down  of  the 
curtain  exercises  coming  to  the  Petrel  camp  by  a  20  to  2 
score.  Adrian  Maurer  was  injured  in  the  first  five  minutes 
of  play  and  was  forced  to  retire.  Without  the  aid  of  their 
captain  and  star,  the  Petrels  floundered  around  a  bit.  Bob 
Kilgore  rallying  the  oifense  and  leading  the  eleven  to  vic- 
tory after  the  Moccasins  had  led  at  the  end  of  the  first 
quarter  2  to  0. 

The  Petrel's  complete  grid  score  card  shows  a  total 
of  six  games  won,  three  lost,  and  one  tied.     The  Petrels  quarles 

scored  140  points  to  the  total  damage  done  by  rival  elevens  amounting  to 
86.     In  S.I. A. A.  competition  alone  the  Petrels  won  all  six  of  their  meetings, 

i        totaling  121  points  to  a  meager  total  of  16  for  the  com- 
bined efforts  of  their  opponents. 
To    close   this    inadequate   history   of   Oglethorpe's 
most   successful   season    on   the    gridiron   without   some 
meager   words   of   praise   for   coach    and   player   alike, 
would  be  doing  a  great  injustice  to  those  who  so  success- 
fully carried  on  Oglethorpe's  fight  for  national  recogni- 
tion. 
To    Coach    Harry    Robertson,    Petrel    students    and 
fans  owe  a  great  debt  of  gratitude.     The  ability  of  Coach 
V  ,        Robertson  was  realized  and  appreciated  from  the  start. 

MARTIN  The  Petrel  mentor  was  not  a  hard  taskmaker,  possessing 


Ninety-Seven 


those  qualities  of  leadership  that  have  made  him  more  than  just  a  grid 

director,  Robertson  has  become  literally  a  pal  to  every  man  in  the  Petrel 

camp.     Through  his  efforts  an  only  fair  calibre  of  material  was  turned  into 

a    cracker]  ack    eleven,    one 

who's  just  claim  to  S.I.A.A. 

honors  has  been  universally 

recognized. 

There  were  the  backs, 
Maurer,  Campbell,  Kilgore, 
Hamrick  and  Redfearn  to 
whom  the  word  "quit"  was 
unknown.  Nix  and  Carroll 
were  recognized  as  two  of 
the  best  end  men  in  southern  0 
football,  Crowe  and  Cooper, 

both  veteran  tackles,  were  responniblc  lo  a  large  degree  for  Oglethorpe's  '24 
successes,  and  proved  able  mates  to  Hardin  and  Corliss,  regular  guards. 
Parrish,  hefty  center,  together  with  Maurer  and  Kilgore,  were  picked  by 
many  sporting  writers  on  the  official  S.I.A.A.  composite  line-up  taken  from 
all  the  team  members  of  the  association. 

The  resei-ves  often  played  more  than  the  regulars,  Justus,  Cousins,  Slay- 
ton,  Perkerson,  Young  and  Quarles  giving  their  all  and  often  playing  on  even 
terms  with  the  varsity.  The  Oglethorpe  '24  football  session  is  now  history — 
but  a  more  sensational,  a  more  satisfactory  season  could  hardly  be  recorded.

Provided'  ihe  old  sporting  adage  "the  freshman  team  of  today  is  the  varsity  of  tomorrow" 
holds  good  at  the  Petrel  camp,  then  Oglethorpe  is  assured  of  having  another  formidable  eleven 
when  the  baby  gridders  make  their  squalls  evident  next  September  on  Hermance  Field.  The 
"rat"  combination,  under  the  direction  of  Coach  Chestnutt,  accounted  for  a  very  successful 
grid  program,  totalling  seven  wins  out  of  nine  meetings  with  some  of  the  leading  prep  and 
college  forces  of  the  state. 

The  younger  Petrels  didived  two  meetings  with  the  University  for  Boys'  eleven,  and  drop- 
ped to  G.M.C.  by  a  narrow  7  to  0  count.  With  these  two  defeats  marking  the  only  reverses 
on  their  final  scoreboard,  the  "rats"  trampled  Monroe,  G.M.A.,  Norman  Park,  Locust  Grove, 
and  such  leaders  as  Sheppard,  Anderson,  Spencer,  Garlington,  Guthrie,  and  Gilreath  took 
turn  about  adding  yardage  through  yawning  holes  opened  by  Chastain,  Moseley,  and  Gold- 
smith.

Uncrowned  Kings 


The  man  who  kicks  the  field  goal 

That  wins  the  hard-fought  game, 
He  kicks  his  way  to  glory. 

The  thousands  cheer  his  name. 
But  what  about  the  center 

Who  passes  him  the  ball? 
He  makes  or  breaks  the  kicker,  but 

He  isn't  cheered  at  all. 


The  back  who  crashes  through  the  line, 

For  ten  or  maybe  more. 
And  makes  the  final  touchdown 

That  proves  the  winning  score. 
He's  hailed  the  college  hero 

Amidst  a  wild  hurray — 
But  what  of  guard  or  tackle 

Who  opened  up  the  way? 


Oh,  football  has  its  heroes. 

Some  of  the  gifted  toe. 
And  others  who  can  smash  a  line 

And  strike  the  winning  blow. 
But  as  in  every  game  on  earth. 

Including  that  of  life, 
Its  greatest  heroes  often  pass 

Unnoticed  through  the  strife.

Dixie  Champions 

Oglethorpe  grid  forces  may  sweep  the  nation,  her  baseball  nines  may  conquer 
in  every  land,  but  the  feat  of  the  Petrels  of  '24  in  winning  20  out  of  22  games  against 
the  leading  diamond  combinations  of  the  country,  and  the  Southern  Championship, 
will  ever  be  cherished  by  those  connected  with  the  University.  Additional  honors  will 
come  to  those  that  bear  the  name  of  the  Stormy  Petrels  on  the  athletic  fields,  other 
championships  will  follow,  and  Oglethorpe  become  an  even  more  feared  foe,  but  the 
joy  of  that  initial  Dixie  victory,  the  happiness  of  player  and  student  alike  as  Tech, 
Georgia,  Alabama,  and  other  leaders  fell  before  the  skill  of  Coach  Anderson's 
charges  will  never  be  forgotten. 

The  Petrels  had,  in  former  years,  shown  their  strength  on  the  diamond,  had 
defeated  the  Tech  Jackets,  had  tied  the  Georgia  Bulldogs,  and  drubbed  the  Mercer 
Bears,  all  leaders  in  the  hot  weather  pastime.  But  to  the  team  of  '24,  led  by  Captain 
"Pug"  Bryant,  goes  the  laurels  of  the  most  successful  endeavor  of  a  Petrel  force. 
Only  two  defeats  were  chalked  against  the  Oglethorpe  ball  tossers  out  of  twenty- 
two  games,  Dartmouth's  Big  Green  dividing  equally,  a  two  game  series  with  the  ever 
fighting  Petrels,  and  the  Georgia  Bulldog's  defeat  of  the  Stormy  Petrels,  in  the  first 
of  a  two-game  series  by  the  narrow  margin  of  a  7  to  6  final,  marking  the  only  re- 
verse handed  the  Oglethorpe  nine  by  a  southern  team.  Though  the  Georgia  colle- 
gians triumphed  over  the  Petrels  in  their  initial  meeting,  their  historic  chapel  bell 
failed  to  toll  out  a  Bulldog  victory  the  following  night,  this  usually  gay  college  town 
being  silent  as  the  Petrels  handed  the  Bulldogs  an  8  to  1  drubbing,  one  of  the  most 
decisive  defeats  handed  the  Red  and  Black  representatives  during  their  "24  season. 

The  Stormy  Petrels  opened  their  collegiate  season  with  Dartmouth's  formidable 
force,  a  nine  that,  up  to  that  time,  had  laid  waste  to  the  Southland,  and  though  it 
was  not  realized  at  the  time,  the  Petrel's  7-6  win  was  a  good  omen,  a  victory  that 
gave  the  confidence  that  was  to  carry  them  to  the  Dixie  championship.  The  opening 
game  with  Dartmouth  was  probably  the  most  sensational  diamond  get-to-gether  ever 
witnessed  on  Hermance  Field,  the  Petrels  breaking  a  knotted  count  in  their  section  of 
the  eleventh  inning  when  Clay  Parrish,  after  being  hit  in  the  head  by  a  pitched  ball, 
crossed  the  counting  marker  when  Dave  Barbee  tripled  to  deep  center. 

Other  victories  followed  in  quick  succession  after  the  Big  Green  nine  had 
evened  the  count  in  the  second  meeting,  Furman  crumbled  before  an  attack  that 
threatened  to  drive  them  back  to  their  South  Carolina  haunts,  Birmingham  Southern 
and  South  Carolina  fared  little  better,  and  on  a  week's  invasion  five  games  were 
won  out  of  an  equal  number  played,  Wofford,  Furman  and  Clemson  dropping  before 
Coach  Anderson's  hitting  and  fielding  stars. 

The  annual  pilgrimage  to  the  kennel  of  the  Georgia  Bulldog  left  the  Oglethorpe 
stronghold  practically  vacant,  and  though  the  Petrels  divided  honors  with  the  Bull- 
dogs, a  satisfied  student  body  returned  to  the  campus  ready  for  Alabama's  powerful 
nine. 

came  to  Atlanta  with  a  formidable  force,  one  whose  claim  to  the  cham- 
pionship of  the  South  rang  true.  Against  the  Stormy  Petrels  the  Crimson  Tide  re- 
ceded in  its  hope  for  southern  leadership,  while  the  Petrels  soared  higher  towards 
the  peak  of  the  Dixie  championship  by  two  well-earned,  hard-fought  victories  over 
the  visitors. 


One  Hundred  and  Four 


In  two  games  in  Macon  that  caused  brave  men  to  tremble,  the  Petrels  defeated 
their  ancient  rivals,  the  Mercer  Bears,  and  with  further  honors  returned  to  Atlanta 
ready  for  their  pair  of  battles  with  Tech. 

Refusing  to  be  shaken  from  their  perch  at  the  peak  of  the  Dixie  championship, 
the  Stormy  Petrels  closed  a  brilliant  season  with  two  equally  brilliant  victories  over 
the  Jackets.  The  Petrels  out-fielded  and  out-hit  the  Jackets  and  accounted  for,  along 
with  the  Dixie  championship,  leadership  of  the  S.  I.  A.  A.,  also  Oglethorpe's  first 
city  collegiate  championship. 

Fourteen  players  received  the  coveted  "0"  for  their  efforts  on  the  diamond, 
fourteen  men  starred  during  a  season  filled  with  thrills  and  excitement.  Willis 
pitched  his  mates  to  seven  wins  without  a  single  loss  being  chalked  against  his  record. 
Humphrey  lost  only  one  meeting  out  of  nine  starts,  poor  fielding  on  the  part  of  the 
Petrel  infield  being  responsible  for  this  one  demerit.  Barbee  and  Morris  each  won 
two  games  in  the  box  without  a  single  reverse,  Ferguson  also  showing  his  worth  by 
adding  another  win  in  his  sole  attempt.  Peace,  after  a  great  season  in  '23  failed 
to  find  himself  and  dropped  the  other;  battle. 

The  real  calibre  of  the  Petrel  nine  will  be  understood  when  it  is  noted  that  three 
Oglethorpe  stars  are  slated  to  show  their  wares  in  the  "Big  Tent."  Herbert  Bryant 
is  slated  for  the  Pittsburgh  Nationals,  Thomas  Porter  for  the  St.  Louis  Americans  and 
Leonard  Willis  will  also  report  to  Pittsburgh.  Big  league  scouts  followed  the  Petrel 
diamond  athletes  through  many  battles  and  there  is  a  strong  possibility  that  other 
members  of  the  championship  '24  Oglethorpe  nine  will  be  stepping  around  in  the 
"Big  Tent."

Golf 

Oglethorpe  has  tasted  of  leadership  in  football  and  baseball  competi- 
tion and  may  also  have  the  golf  crown  of  Dixie  in  time. 

The  Golf  Club,  founded  on  November  28,  aims  at  a  widening  of  the 
circle  of  athletic  possibilities  at  the  University.  A  school  tournament  has 
already  been  approved,  from  which  a  team  will  be  selected  that  will  possibly 
enter  several  of  the  intercollegiate  meets  scheduled  for  the  spring  and  summer.

The  Boar's  Head  was  founded  at  Oglethorpe  in  January,  1920,

been  prominent  and  successful  in  academic  life,  and  the  various  college 
activities,  are  eligible.

University,  a  boar's  head  being  a  prominent  feature  of  the  escutcheon. 
The  Universit3-  's  armorial  bearings  are  copied  after  those  of  the  family 
of  James  Edward  Oglethorpe,  for  whom  our  University  is  named.

midday   meal    (Sundays 


Applesauce  Academy,  located  in  the  very  heart  of  a  thriving  city  from  which 
the  students  can  find  recreation  and  culture,  is  surrounded  by  a  vast  expanse  of 
beautiful  forests  and  lakes.  Founded  in  the  spring  of  1925,  the  University  is  rich 
in  the  mellow  traditions  and  customs  that  go  so  far  to  temper  the  life  of  a  college. 


One  Hundyed  and  Sixty-Fii 


Our  faculty  speaks  for  itself  (on  all  occasions),  as  our  President  so  aptly  put 
it,  "keepolotov  eu  opovouvta  un  opovelv  dokelj" — "ain't  they  the  berries."  Living 
in  perfect  accord  with  each  other  and  with  their  students,  they  make  our  college  a 
place  of  brotherhood  and  love. 

As  for  our  students — ah,  yes,  how  much  a  part  of  our  very  being  they  be — not 
too  much  can  be  said  (safely I,  as  one  of  our  prominent  faculty  members  so  aptly 
put  it,  "Sultorum  plena  sunt  omnia."  "We  get  our  freshmen  from  the  very  best 
high  schools  of  Georgia." 


■\J  tense  moment  in  one  of  our  Lecture  courses." 
The  buildings  of  Old  Applesauce,  which  is  often  squeezed  down  to  "Cider,"  as 
a   loving  nickname,  is  built  of  fine  Buckhead  Soapstone  of  very  superior  quality, 
and   is  well  ventilated,  in   fact  very  well  ventilated.      We  are  very  proud   of  our 
buildings,  and  hope  some  day  to  get  another  one? 


And  there  are  our  co-eds,  who  bring  beauty  and  laughter  to  our  campus — ah, 
yes,  how  they  have  taken  their  place  in  the  very  heart  of  our  College,  and  become 
the  very  fabric  in  the  fundamental  foundations  of  our  University?  As  one  of  our 
seniors  so  aptly  put  it,  "/e  vous  aime,  cherie,  baisez-moi."  — "They  are  such  an  in- 
spiration and  incentive  to  us." 

We  could  point,  but  it  is  impolite  to  point,  and  the  Applesauce  boys  are 
notorious  for  their  politeness,  with  justifiable  pride  in  our  football  and  baseball 
teams,  in  fact  we  might  say  that  we  have,  for  the  price,  the  best  teams  in  thisi  sec- 
tion (of  the  county).  We  almost  won  our  baseball  game  last  year;  the  score  was 
98-0  in  their  favor  when  the  game  was  called  for  darkness;  the  coach  said  that 
this  wasn't  bad,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  we  hadn't  had  our  turn  at  bat. 


Will  You  Ever  Forget 

The  week-end  that  Dan   Conklin  acquired  the  nickname,  "Mr.   Hell." 
The  time  that  Bob  Grimes  brought  the  white  mice  to  the  co-ed  room 
and  the  girls  had  hysterics  and  almost  something  else. 
Bill  Morrow's  smile,  Wendell  Crowe's  "Lad." 

"The  following  students,  having  accumulated  five  or  more  unexcused 
absences  are  requested  to  meet  the  faculty  Wednesday  unless  a  plausible 
excuse  is  rendered  by  noon  of  that  day." 

Dr  Routh  in  his  glory.  Dr.  Routh:  (Reading  paper  with  no  name  on 
it  )  "This  paper  lacks  unity  and  coherence.  It  shows  a  weak  vocabulary, 
poor  spelling  and  punctuation.  The  grammar  is  also  bad  and  he  uses  many 
vulgarisms."  (holding  up  paper)  "Whose  paper  is  this?  '  And  then  the 
still,  small  voice. 

The  clock  and  its  mad  race  for  or  against  time. 

The  night  that  Carlos  was  locked  in  Lupton  Hall  In  his  own  words: 
"It  happened  some  time  ago  that  I  went  to  the  third  floor  of  Lupton  Hall 
looking  for  a  suitable  place  to  do  a  special  work.  I  did  it,  and  when  I 
finished,  I  turned  out  the  light.  Absolute  darkness  was  surrounding  me  as 
I  began  to  walk  carefully  toward  the  door.  A  chair  was  right  in  the  way 
and  I  stumbled  against  it.     Then  I  stretched  forth  my  hands  m  an  for  l-mj 

to  grasp  something  and  avoid  falling.     I  grasped  the  door  and  I  did  not  ^V^P; 

fall,  but  I  locked  the  door. 

I  must  tell  now  that  the  lock  of  that  door  is  slightly  freakish  Some- 
times, according  to  its  humor,  it  does  not  work  well.  And  that  night  it  was 
angry  in  the  highest  degree.  I  try  to  open  it,  using  all  methods,  from  per- 
suasion to  roughness,  but  I  could  not. 

The  night  was  rather  cold.  It  was  about  ten  thirty.  I  looked  for  a 
comfortable  place  to  sleep,  but  the  only  furniture  that  I  found  there  were 
desks,  chairs  and  a  blackboard.  The  prospect  of  spending  the  night  was 
not  good  enough  to  make  me  dance  with  joy.  So  I  overcame  my  desire  ot 
keeping  in  secret  my  unfortunate  adventure,  and  I  shouted  for  somebody  to 
help  me.  Most  of  the  boys  were  sleeping,  so  I  was  obliged  to  keep  shout- 
ing more  time  that  it  might  be  convenient  for  my  throat.  At  last  1  was 
heard  and  an  expedition  formed  to  proceed  to  my  rescue.  They  were  suc- 
cessful and  I  could  realize  better  than  ever  the  comfortableness  ot  my  bed. 

The  day  that  Mrs.  Libby  forgot  to  come  to  a  class  and  the  freshman 
who  naively  said  in  an  English  paper,  "This  is  something  that  rarely  happens 
so  it  was  enjoyed  by  all." 

About  five  minutes  before  chapel  when  students  begin  to  file  in  and  in- 
terrupt the  Economics  class. 

Minus  and  his  history.  The  Biology  class  got  their  hooks  on  the  tiny 
pup  and  operated.  Everyone  thought  that  Minus  would  die,  and  it  didn  t 
seem  to  make  any  particular  difference;  but  he  lived  and  got. food  anywhere 
he  could  find  it.  One  night  in  the  barracks  Minus  started  howling,  and 
Baby  Spencer  got  up  to  throw  him  out.     There  was  a  fire  and  Minus  had 


One  Hundred  and  Sixty-Nine 


served  to  warn  the  inmates.  His  place  was  made,  Soon  Plus,  the  black 
and  tan  counterpart  of  Minus  came  to  the  campus,  and  because  of  the  great 
service  that  Minus  had  rendered,  Plus  was  adopted  as  a  playmate  for  the 
scarred  but  loved  Minus. 

How  Dr.  Routh  looked  the  morning  after  he  put  kerosene  on  the  fire, 
and  it  blazed  up  and  singed  his  eyebrows  and  eyelashes. 

Football  practice  in  the  hot  dusty  mornings  and  afternoons  of  September, 
with  the  little  "ring  around  the  rosy"  stunt  for  the  backfield  men. 

The  time  that  Bully  Boy  went  to  sleep  on  Dr.  Jacobs  shoulder  com- 
ing back  from  Anderson,  S.  C. 

The  Saturday  that  some  boy  borrowed  a  flock  of  geese  and  locked 
them  in  Dr.  Jacobs  office  and  the  Monday  morning  when  the  office  was 
opened. 

The  Bonfire  on  the  night  before  the  Mercer  game  of  '24,  and  the  mild 
celebration  on  the  Saturday  afternoon  and  night  afterwards. 

Those  walks  up  and  down  Peachtree  road  on  spring  nights  when  every- 
thing from  girls  to  evolution  were  discussed. 

A  boiler  which  was  a  target  for  rocks  until  there  was  so  much  racket 
that  Colonel  West  couldn't  sleep  and  rolled  it  down  on  the  athletic  field, 
and  the  next  night  the  boys  rolled  it  back  up  the  hill,  left  it  by  Lupton  Hall, 
and  again  disturbed  the  Colonel's  slumbers  with  the  resonant  sound  of  rock 
on  hollow  steel. 

The  kind,  efforts  of  members  of  the  Chemistry  class  to  stop  psychology 
by  putting  ammonia  in  the  room. 

The  Christy  Mathewson  baseball  games  that  arrived  just  on  the  eve  of 
examinations  and  almost  broke  up  the  usual  last  minute  cramming. 

In  the  spring  of  '24  when  the  orchestra,  by  special  arrangement,  played 
a  group  of  Hawaiian  airs  at  a  baseball  game  and  the  two  teams  thinking  that 
it  was  the  Alma  Mater  stopped  the  game  and  stood  at  attention  with  their 
caps  off. 

What  Leila  said  the  first  time  she  saw  Miller. 

The  last  six  days  of  work  on  the  Yamacraw  and  that  grand  and  glorious 
feeling  when  the  last  sheet  was  slipped  into  the  envelope  and  George  in- 
sured the  package  for  $200. 

Virginia  calling  a  member  of  the  faculty  "sticky  poppa." 

The  pride  of  the  Freshman  class  of  '28  at  getting  their  flag  up  and  the 
effort  that  was  necessary  to  get  it  down. 

The  night  that  Bull  hit  Father  Teasley  with  a  biscuit  in  the  dining 
room  and  what  Father  said  to  Bull,  and  what  must  have  passed  between 
the  two  to  make  them  the  best  of  friends  by  12  that  night. 

Moral  Victories. 

What  the  governor  of  North  Carolina  said  to  the  Governor  of  South 
Carolina  while  at  Oglethorpe. 

The  letter  that  she  must  get,  and  that  kind  street  car  conductor  that 
offered  to  mail  it  for  you  when  he  finished  his  run  in  Atlanta.

The  ''Yamacraw'  1925.    All 
xtra  art  work,  the  engraving 
printing    and    binding     of  tkis

We  are  prepared  to  furnish  a  complete

to  an  annual  staff.  We  will  have  a  more 
complete  line  of  samples  also. 

We  sincerely  hope  that  the  management 
of  The  'Y amacraxu'  is  satisfied  ■with  the 
product  of  our  efforts  and  that  the  incoming
