HEARST 

By  Arthur  Brisbane 


The  students  of  Oglethorpe  Uni- 
versity, desiring  to  express  their  ap- 
preciation of  your  generous  interest 
in  Oglethorpe,  and  more  especially  to 
recognize  your  services  to  the  coun- 
try as  a  whole,  dedicate  to  you  this 
college  annvxil. 

Our  radio  division,  WJTL,  being 
the  pioneer  radio  university  of  the 
u-orld,  it  seems  to  us  appropriate 
that  this  annual  should  he  dedicated 
to  you,  who,  through  numerous  pub- 
lications, have  done  so  many  things 
that  have  never  been  done  before,  so 
much  to  enlighten  and  encourage  mil- 
lions of  Americans,  so  much  to  stim- 
ulate progress  and  patriotism.

FOREWORD 


Within  recent  years  every  liviiiy,  vital 
art  has  gone  through  an  inner  bath  of  fire, 
and  each  has  come  out  bettered.  A  few 
years  back  and  we  were  chuckling  at  the 
eccentric  joiirnalism  advocated  by  William 
Randolph  Hearst.  X  no  longer  marks  the 
spot  where  the  body  was  found,  but  indi- 
cates the  birthplace  of  a  newer  and  finer 
journalism.  William  Randolph  Hearst  has 
shown  himself  the  apostle  of  progress  with 
a    text    taken   from    human    life. 

To  William  Randolph  Hearst  The  Yam- 
acraw  of  1932  is  dedicated  by  a  staff  im- 
bued with  his  tenets  of  patriotism  and 
progress.  As  joumalism  has  advanced 
through  his  efforts  from  cloying  dullness 
to  virility,  so  we  believe  that  the  cause  of 
education  ivill  be  bettered  by  the  university 
of  the  air.  Through  the  radio  diision  of 
Oglethorpe  University  'knowledge  is  given 
to  the  many,  just  as  through  the  Hearst 
newspapers  wisdom  has  been  given  the 
masses. 

The  university  of  the  air  and  William 
Randolph  Hearst  are  actuated  by  the  same 
progressive  motives,  striving  to  do  that 
which  has  not   been   done   before. 

In  this  analogy  the  staff  of  The  Yani- 
acraw  of  1932  have  striven  to  present  that 
which  has  hitherto  been  unseen.  With 
William  Randolph  Hearst  as  a  central  fig- 
ure and  WJTL,  the  university  of  the  air, 
as  a  central  theme,  we  offer  new  recollec- 
tions of  old  memories  in  a  strange  and  finer 
guise.

Remembrance 


I  cannot  think  of  things  that  I  have  loved 
Without  a  bitter  longing  and  regret! 
A  wild  plum  tree,  all  tremulous  and  white, 
(Last  spring  it  was)  and  I  cannot  forget. 

And  once  there  was  a  boy  with  tawny  hair, 
The  color  of  a  field  of  waving  grain ; 
Two  mystic  pools  of  blue  that  were  his  eyes — 
My  heart  remembers  with  a  knife-like  pain. 

One  day  I  came  upon  a  waterfall. 
Close-hidden  in  a  shadowy  green  wood ; 
A  foaming  spray  dashed  on  the  rocks  below. 
(I  think  I'd  not  forget  this  if  I  could.) 

I  cannot  think  of  things  that  I  have  loved 

Without  a  bitter  longing  and  regret. 

I  would  exile  these  things  from  memory. 

But  it's  my  heart,  my  heart  that  won't  forget! 


NiSBET   LeConte,    '35.

Ten  Years  of  Radio 


Bu 


William  Randolj-h  Heakst 


Ten  years  ago  the  radio  was  introduced  to  our  daily  lives. 
Think  of  what  the  radio  has  attained  to  in  these  ten  short 
years. 

The  radio  then  was  a  strange,  uncanny  intruder  into  our 
lives,  a  disturber  of  our  habits  and  customs.  It  has  now  be- 
come the  friend  of  every  household  in  the  land. 

It  has  taken  its  place  with  the  automobile,  the  moving 
picture  and  the  press  as  one  of  the  four  cornerstones  of  our 
modern  civilization. 

It  entertains  us. 

It  enlivens  dull  hours. 

It  brightens  our  lives  and  it  does  more. 

It  performs  fundamentally  useful  functions. 

It  spreads  education,  widens  our  experience,  increases  our 
knowledge,  refines  our  tastes,  enlarges  our  vision,  gives  us 
that  competence  and  culture  which  come  from  contact  with 
the  best  and  most  informative  things  which  the  world  has 
to  offer. 

We  often  wonder  how  we  could  ever  get  along  without 
the  four  supports  of  our  modeni  civilization. 

Oglethorpe  University's  "University  of  the  Air,"  a  result 
of  the  kindness  and  generosity  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  John  Thomas 
Lupton,  is  another  example  of  the  entrenchment  of  the  radio 
in  our  modern  civilization. 

I  wish  it  well,  for  it  is  a  pioneer  in  an  unexplored  field.

Senior  History 


By  Betty  Crandall 


Scene:  In  Dr.  Jacobs'  office  at  Oglethorpe  University,  Ga.  All  the  professors  are 
seated  around  a  large  table  in  the  middle  of  the  room.  Dr.  Jacobs  is  at  the  head 
of  the  table. 

Time:  May  29,  1932.     Sunday  Morning. 

Dr.  Jacobs:  This  meeting  has  been  called  in  order  that  we  may  have  a  round-table 
discussion  of  the  class  that  is  to  be  graduated  tonight.  Dr.  Sellers,  what  is 
your  earliest  recollection  of  these  boys   and  girls? 

Dr.  Sellers:  Let  me  see,  mine  is  a  greased  pig  contest  held  when  they  were  freshmen. 

Dr.  Gaertner:  It  was  held  during  the  half  at  the  Loyola  game,  wasn't  it?  It  seems 
to  me  the  freshmen  won. 

Dr.  Aldrich:  They  did  and  do  you  remember  that  freshman  football  game  with  Chatta- 
nooga, when  Dapper  Myers  made  those  two  long  runs  for  a  touchdown? 

Coach  Robertson:  (reclining  in  his  chair  and  putting  his  thumbs  in  his  vest)  Well, 
don't  ever  forget  Paul  Goldsmith's  playing  in  that  Georgia  game,  when  we  beat 
'em  13  to  7. 

Dr.  Roiith:  This  class  has  done  other  things  besides  football;  Reavis  O'Neal  was  Edi- 
tor of  The  Stormy  Petrel  in  '29  and  he  was  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the 
Petrel  Bible  Class.  Betty  Crandall  played  in  "Framed"  and  with  Marie  Shaw 
in  "Innocent  Child"  in   '29. 

Dr.  Burrows:  Don't  forget  Eugenia  Patterson  was  Vice-President  of  the  Sophomore 
Class  in   '29  and   President  of  the   Pan-Hellenic   Council   in   '30. 

Dr.  Sellers:  It  seems  to  me  it  was  in  '29  that  the  football  team  was  entertained  by 
a  movie  star  when  they  went  to   Charleston,  am   I  right? 

Dr.  Gaertner:  You  are;  the  star  was  Jack  Hoxie  a  cowboy  star  and  the  guests  were: 
Frank  Anderson  Jr.,  Clay  Sypert,  Parker  Bryant,  and  Paul  Goldsmith. 

Mr.  Anderson:  And  now  just  listen  to  the  list  of  baseball  players  this  class  has  pro- 
duced: Sypert,  Bryant,  Anderson,  and  Mitchell,  not  to  forget  Luke  Appling, 
wish  he'd  stayed  with  us,  but  he  was  quite  an  asset  to  the  Crackers  in  '30  and 
also  the  White  Sox  in  '31. 


Dr.  Htini:  Now,  brother,  it  seems  to  me  we  defeated  Georgia  in  '30  in  baseball,  um  huh! 

Mr.  Anderson:  Yes  Sir!  Two  games  7-0  and  10-3  with  Mitchell  in  both  games. 

Mr.  Perez:   Say,  let's  talk  about  the  girls. 

Coach  Overton :  They  did  well  in  athletics.  The  year  before  I  came  they  had  an  all- 
slar  team  and  Christine  Bost  and  Eugenia  Patterson  were  named  for  that. 

Coach  Robertson :  But  to  talk  of  really  interesting  things,  I  can  still  see  "Tanky" 
Anderson  sending  that  32-yard  pass  to  "Lefty"  Sypert  in  the  Furman  game 
in  '30. 

Dr.  Jacobs:  It  was  beautiful!  Do  you  know  there  were  six  of  this  year's  class  on 
the  honor  roll  of  1930.  Mary  WilliamLon,  Marie  Shaw,  Harold  Coffee,  Eugenia 
Patterson,    Edith    Marshall,    and    Ray    Sewell. 

Dr.  Burrows:  They've  kept  up  their  high  standard  until  the  last,  too;  why  this  year 
there  were  nine  Seniors  on  the  honor  roll;  Evelyn  Baugh,  Mary  Williamson, 
Rcavis  O'Neal,  Edith  Marshall,  Bessie  Silverboard,  Ray  Sewell,  Marie  Shaw, 
Eugenia   Patterson,  and   Edna  Whitehead. 

Dr.  Aldrich:  Ray  Sewell,  Roy  Warren,  Jerry  Reeves,  Lawrence  Hight  and  Reavis 
O'Neal  were  also  elected  to  Phi  Kappa   Delta. 

Dr.  N^colasscn:   Marie  Shaw  and  Reavis  O'Neal  were  awarded   the  Oglethorpe  Coat- 
cf-Arms  for  making  an  average  of  93  for  five  consecutive  terms. 

Dr.  Sellers:  What  about  the  Debating  team?  Reavis  O'Neal  and  William  Higgins 
were  on  that,  were  they  not? 

Dr.  Roitth:  Yes  they  were  and  Reavis  O'Neal  is  the  Editor  of  this  year's  Yamacraw, 
too,   with   Gordon   White   his   Business   Manager. 
(A  knock  is  heard  on  the  door.) 

Dr.  Jacobs:  Come  in. 

Miss  Maigarct  Stovall:  Excuse  me.  Doctor,  but  it's  getting  late  and  you  are  supposed 
to  meet  the  Seniors  to  rehearse  graduation. 

Dr.  Jacobs:  Thank  you.  Miss  Stovall — I   did  not  realize  it  was  getting  so  late. 
(She  exits.) 

And  now  I  must  hurry,  will  see  you  all  down  at  the  Church  tonight,  be  sure 
and  be  there  about  7  o'clock.    (He  exits). 
(All  the  other  proIeLsors  walk  out,  talking  as  they  go.) 


Diploma — and- 


Now  we  must  part  to  walk  the  fated  ways 

That  lead  us  irrevokably  apart; 

But  I  shall  woo  the  dreams  of  yesterdays 

When  we  were  young  and  life  was  at  its  start. 

How  vain  to  say  that  I  shall  soon  forget 

The  far-flown  hours  of  the  tender  past, 

For  I  shall  tread  remembered  ways  and  let 

Death  bring  me  glad  forgetfulness  at  last. 

And  on  some  crowded  street,  caught  in  a  throng 
Of  strangers,  I  shall  hear  a  whistled  note. 
Refrain  we  knew  of  some  old  cherished  song. 
Then  I  shall  feel  the  fog  within  my  throat. 
And  in  the  lilting  of  that  old  refrain 
I'll  know  forgetful  years  were  spent  in  vain. 

— Reavis  O'Neal,  Jr.

Junior  History 


When  seniors  get  their  diplomas  and  leave  the  campus,  someone 
always  wonders  who  is  going  to  fill  the  gap  left  by  their  departure. 
The  answer  is  always  found  in  the  Junior   Class. 

The  Class  of  1933  is  well  represented  in  all  lines  of  college  ac- 
tivities. On  the  Debate  Council  is  Dan  Duke  as  chairman.  Duke  is 
also  president-elect  of  the  student  body  and  is  a  member  of  Blue  Key. 
Captain  of  the  1932  football  team  is  John  Patrick  and  under  him  several 
juniors  disport  themselves:  to  wit,  Gaillaril,  Kenzie,  Patrick,  Putno, 
and  others. 

Robert  Leseur  Jones,  the  most  outstanding  college  poet  in  this 
rection,  is  a  junior  and  will  edit  The  Yamacraw  next  year  in  addition 
to  the  Westminster  Magazine  and  Bozart.  His  business  manager  is 
W.  R.  Massengale. 

Football  Manager  Howard  Martin,  Catcher  Reed  Craven,  who  also 
co-edits  The  Petrel,  are  included  in  the  roster. 

Various  other  luminaries  dot  the  pages  of  the  class  roll  and  include 
Wearer  of  the  Coat-of-Arms  Clinton  Holbrook,  talented  Almon  Raines, 
Instructor  Willard  Allison,  Librarian  John  Artley,  Scientist  Spencer 
Worthy,  Debutante  Peggy  Underwood,  and  a  host  of  others  distinguished 
in  their   several  fields. 


Query  of  Escape 

By  Robert  Leseur  Jones 


Since  we  must  lose  our  earthliness  at  last, 

Where  shall  we  find  a  secret  halidom 

Beyond  the  battle  din  of  deities 

Who  seek  the  golden  throne  of  Kingdom   Come? 

There  is  no  peace  among  the  thousand  gods, 
No  truce  to  quiet  Buddha  or  Messiah, 
When   each   Osiris   is   Beelzebub 
And  any  prophet  metaphysic  liar. 

Along  the  windy  corridors  of   sky 

Divine  encounters  multiply  like  thunder, 

As  elfish  juggernauths  are  beaten  back 

And    Brobdingnags    assume    the    sacred    plunder. 

The   rabid   clamor   permeates   the   earth: 
A  hundred  foes  refuse  a  sacrament; 
The  altar  is  a  place  for  demigods 
To  mouth  old  malices  in   discontent. 

Incredulence  and  credulence  abound; 

No  warring  deity  has  counterpart. 

In  bitter,   cataclysmic   skirmishing 

Each  god  has  sacked  the  sanctum  of  a  heart. 

Therefore,   I   ask,   how  may  we  pass   among 
These   bastioned   divinities   who  wait 
Behind  a  snare  of  mythologic  words, 
To   seek  the  hidden   Golden   Fleece  of  Fate? 

Where   may   we   go   beyond   belligerents 
Who  barricade  themselves  behind  a  creed. 
To  see  a  secret  urge  uncurl  the  fern. 
To  feel  beneficence   inspire  the   seed? 

There   is   no   password   to   apocalypse. 
There   is   no    certain    earthly    shibboleth 
To  covert  regions  of  oblivion. 
As  near  or  far  as  we  surmise,  save  death.

The  Riddle 


By  Merle  M.  Elsworth 

Who  loves  a  lake,  loves  water,  fickle  stuff; 

Who   loves   a  tree,  loves  wood,  to  ax  foredoomed; 
Who  loves  a  city,  has  rebuke  enough; 

Who  loves  a  body,  loves  the  swift-entombed. 
This   being   so,   what   solace   shall   he   find, 

What   standard   shall   he  raise   against  despair, 
Who  dares  to  set  his  love  upon  a  mind — 

The   most   impermanent   of   all   things   fair? 
If  mind  be  fair  in  flesh  we  apprehend  it; 

If  mind  wage  war,  through  flesh  its  cause  is  fought; 
If  mind  have  power,  a  stroke  of  time  can  end  it — 

Dead  Caesar's  dust  holds  not  dead  Caesar's  thought. 
Mind  is  not  palpable  for  moment's  pleasure; 

Yet  for  all  time  your  mind  is  my  mind's  treasure.

History  of  the  Freshman  Class 

By  Virginia  Stitt 


It  was  a  hot,  a  very  hot  day  in  September,  1931,  when  we,  a  throng 
of  high  school  veterans  entered  upon  a  new  conquest  —  that  of  over- 
powering the  arts  of  Freshman  college.  But  the  heat  had  not  lessened 
our  courage,  nor  curbed  our  anticipation  to  discover  what  was  in  readi- 
ness for  us.  After  meeting  our  classmates  we  felt  confident  that  we 
could    accomplish   great   things   during   our   first   year   together. 

The  election  of  class  oflicers  was  an  event  of  great  importance, 
and  at  our  organization  meeting  we  elected  Thomas  Cooper  as  Presi- 
dent, Susanne  Memminger,  Vice  President;  and  Thornwell  Jacobs  Jr. 
Secretary  and  Treasurer. 

The  class  of  '35  is  proud  of  its  many  accomplishments.  We  ranked 
high  in  scholarship,  and  many  of  us  made  the  honor  roll,  Louis  Evans 
leading  with  the  average  of  95.5.  The  boys  were  in  their  prime  during 
the  eventful  season  of  football,  the  topnotch  of  college  sports.  Those 
who  were  honored  with  numerals  are  Metrick,  Cobb,  Harper,  Smith, 
Martin,  Chandler,  George,  Teasley,  Beasely,  Tranhart,  Wright,  Larkin, 
Robinson,  Bentley,  Stewart,  Christiansen  and  Bearden.  We  are  proud 
of  these  boys,  and  confident  they  will  be  a  great  addition  to  the  varsity. 
Basketball  was  an  exciting  season.  Jacqueline  Gordy  captured  the 
honor  of  high  score  over  both  the  boys  and  girls. 

We  contributed  much  to  the  betterment  of  the  Stormy  Petrel  and 
added  our  talent  to  the  Players  Club,  the  Glee  Club  and  the  orchestra. 
Many  of  our  versatile  freshmen  took  prominent  parts  in  the  programs 
over  our  own  radio  station  WJTL  located  in  Lupton  Hall.  The  frosh 
decidedly  featured  in  the  weekly  vaudeville  skits  sponsored  by  the 
Players  Club  at  the  Buckhead  theater. 

All  in  all,  the  class  of  '35  performed  greatly  as  Freshman,  and  we 
only  hope  that  we  will  keep  up  the  good  standard  set  in  1931-32. 


Autumnal 

By  Israel  Newman 


Ours  is  no  vivid  flush  of  summers  dying — 
The  brightening  of  a  glory  that  is  brief — 
No  aftermath  which  crowds  beyond  denying 
A  summer's  sunsets  in  each  elm  or  oak; 
A  summer's  sunshine  in  each  ripening  leaf, 
Such  fevers  are  not  theirs  whose  slow  existence 
Seems  but  a  pointing-in  of  threads  that  broke; 
To  see  these  they  must  hold  them  at  a  distance. 

For  ours,  unlike  the  maples  and  their  kin. 

Is  not  one  hectic  season  edged  with  frost. 

With  life's  first  April  does  life's  fall  begin; 

Dream  after  dream  grows  golden  and  is  lost 

Until  we  too  are  like  those  trees  gone  dry, 

Whose  limbs  look  more  like  roots  against  the  sky.

University  of  the  Air 

(Written  in  collaboration  bii  the  members  of  the  class 
in  Poetics  at  Oglethorpe   Universiti/.) 

A  message  on   electric  threads  of  fire; 

A  renaissance  from  heaven's  endless  space, 
With   all   the  wonderment  of   Circe's  lyre, 

Shall  bring  free  wisdom  to  uplift  the  race. 
New  lore  and  old,  on  slender,  gilded  wings 

Shall  reach  the  seeker  in  remotest  spheres; 
Enrich  the  humblest  with  the  priceless  things 

That  sages  give  their  lives  for  through  the  years. 

This  stately  college  of  the  air  decrees 

There  shall  be  none  too  poor,  too  far  away 

To  touch  the  ancient  Greece  of  Pericles, 
Or   learn   the   latest  science   of  today. 

So  Oglethorpe  shall  spread  what  she  has  brought 

Of  golden  treasure  from  the  mints  of  thought. 


Radio  History 

Bi/  Vernon   Anderson 

June  6,  1931  marked  the  beginning  of  a 
new  era  in  the  history  of  education.  It 
was  the  birthday  of  Radio  Station  WJTL, 
the  Radio  Division  of  Oglethorpe  Univer- 
sity. 

Early  in  the  spring  of  1931  Oglethorpe 
received  the  permission  of  the  Federal 
Radio  Commission  to  erect  and  operate  a 
radio  station.  The  generosity  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  John  Thomas  Lupton,  donors  of  Lup- 
ton  Hall,  made  possible  the  installation  of 
one  of  the  most  completely  equipped  re- 
gional channel  stations  in  America,  whose 
call  letters  were  formed  from  the  initials 
of  our  gracious  friends. 

At  first  the  entire  station  was  located  in 
Lupton  Hall,  on  the  campus  of  the  Uni- 
versity. The  entire  Biology  Department 
was  moved  from  Lupton  Hall  to  Lowry 
Hall  to  make  room  for  the  new  Radio  Di- 
vision. Two  large  studios  were  constructed 
and  elaborately  equipped  and  a  small  room 
was  turned  into  a  transmitting  and  control 
room. 

Thus  on  June  6,  with  the  beginning  of  regular  lectures,  Oglethorpe  University  be- 
came the  possessor  of  the  first  standard  Radio  College  in  the  history  of  the  world. 
There  have  been  many  educational  programs  presented  over  many  broadcasting  sta- 
tions, but  never  before,  so  far  as  we  have  been  able  to  learn,  in  the  history  of  this

or  any  other  country,  has  a  complete  college 
ccurse  been  broadcast  by  a  complete  faculty  in 
the  same  manner  as  when  offered  on  the  campus. 
The  equipment  of  WJTL  is  of  the  latest  type 
available  The  transmitter  is  an  RCA  100-W, 
employing  direct  crystal  control  and  100  percent 
modulation.  RCA  microphones  and  amplifiers 
are  used  in  the  studios.  In  addition,  a  new 
RCA  frequency  monitor  has  recently  been  pur- 
chased to  enable  the  station  to  comply  with  the 
new  government  regulations  concerning  fre- 
quency   deviation    and    frequency    checking. 

After  a  few  months  of  operation  in  Lupton 
Hall,  officials  of  the  University  decided  that 
greater  Atlanta  could  be  better  served  by  moving 
the  transmitter  nearer  the  center  of  the  city. 
Accordingly,  therefore,  the  Yaarab  Shrine 
Mosque,  one  of  the  most  beautiful  buildings  in 
the  South,  was  picked  as  the  new  site  for  the 
transmitter.  At  the  same  time  it  was  decided 
to  erect  a  new  type  of  antenna  which  would  also 
add  to  the  efficiency  of  the  station.  This  new  an- 
tenna, which  is  a  seven  ton,  135  foot,  base-insulated  steel  tower,  is  the  first  quarter- 
wave  vertical  radiator  in  the  world.  It  represents  an  achievement  resulting  from 
years  of  study  and  research  directed  toward  the  production  of  a  system  giving  maxi- 
mum radiation  of  the  power  supplied  to  it.  Engineers  have  pronounced  it  the  ultimate 
in  antenna  construction.  The  tower  was  erected  atop  the  Mosque  and  directly  under 
it  a  transmitting  room  and  a  small  studio  were  built.  The  large  studios  at  Ogje- 
thorpe  were  retained,  having  been  connected  with  the  new  transmitter  location  by 
special  telephone  lines.  About  the  middle  of  November  the  work  was  completed  and 
one  Sunday  afternoon  WJTL  broadcast  her  first  program  from  the  Yaarab  Shrine 
Mosque.     Reports  soon  showed  that  the  expectations  of  the  officials  were  justified. 

A  glance  at  a  day's  schedule  will  give  some  idea  of  the  scope  of  the  work  carried  on 
by  the  Radio  Division.  Each  morning  the  station  is  opened  with  a  devotional  program 
from  6:45  to  7:00.  This  is  followed  by  an  hour  of  variety  musical  programs.  At 
eight   o'clock    Dr.    H.    J.    Gaertner   lectures    on    beginners'    German.      A    lecture    is    of 


fifty  minutes  duration  and  is  followed 
by  s.  ten  minute  recess,  during  which 
music  is  offered.  At  nine  o'clock  Dr. 
James  E.  Routh  Isctures  on  English, 
Idioms  and  Good  Usage.  A  lecture  on 
an  Introduction  to  Economics  is  pre- 
sented by  Dr.  Wallace  McCook  Cun- 
ningham at  ten  o'clock,  and  at  eleven 
Dr.  James  E.  Routh  lectures  on  Types 
ci'  literature.  Prof.  Francisco  Perez 
offers  a  course  in  Beginners'  Spanish 
at  twelve  o'clock.  Luncheon  hour  lasts 
from,  twelve-fifty  until  two  o'clock.  Dur- 
ing this  time  a  varied  musical  program 
is  presented  over  the  station.  At  two 
o'clock  Dr.  Witherspoon  Dodge  resumes 
the  educational  program  with  a  lecture 
on  Contemporary  Civilization.  At  three 
o'clock  Dr.  Wallace  McCook  Cunning- 
ham lectures  on  Business  Problems.  At 
four  Dr.  Witherspoon  Dodge  returns  to 
the  air  to  lecture  on  an  Introduction  to 
Philosophy.  At  five  o'clock  Dr.  Mark 
Burrows  concludes  the  day's  educational 
activity  with  a  lecture  on  the  Biography 
of  Musicians,  magnificently  illustrated 
with  recordings  of  their  respective 
works.  From  five-fifty  until  twelve, 
midnight,  various  commercial  and  sus- 
taining programs  are  presented. 
Announcement  has  ju3t  been  made  that  Oglethorpe  University  will  institute  a  com- 
plete four  year  course  in  radio  broadcasting.  This  course  will  begin  with  the  open- 
ing of  the  fall  term  in  September  of  this  year  Every  phase  of  radio  work,  including 
the  commercial,  managerial  and  technical  aspects,  will  be  taught,  together  with  courses 
in  announcing,  studio  direction  and  program  formulation.     Completion  of  the  required 


four  year  course  entitles  a  student  to  a  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  arts  in  the  School  of  Radio 
Broadcasting.  Oglethorpe  thus  becomes  the 
first  standard  university  in  the  world  to  offer  a 
full  four-year  course  in  radio  learing  to  an 
accredited  college  degree.  The  regular  faculty 
of  the  new  radio  college  will  be  headed  by  Dr. 
James  E.  Routh  as  dean,  and  others  of  the 
Oglethorpe  faculty,  as  follows:  Dr.  John  A. 
Aldrich,  physics;  Dean  J.  F.  Sellers,  chemistry; 
Dean  W.  McCook  Cunningham,  business  adminis- 
tration; Dr.  Mark  Burrows,  music;  Dr.  Thorn- 
well  Jacobs,  history  of  earth  and  its  inhabitants; 
Professor  Porohoushikoff,  Professor  Perez  and 
Professor  Pattelli.  modern  languages;  Dr.  Gaert- 
ner,  psychology;  Dr.  D.  Witherspoon  Dodge,  ra- 
dio ethics. 

Instructors  in  professional  courses  will  be 
headed  by  David  Brinkmoeller,  director  of  Sta- 
tion WJTL  of  the  university,  who  will  lecture 
on  studio  management  and  studio  direction,  and  / 

Vernon    Anderson    and    Frank    Parkins,    of    the  / 

studio  staff,  on  radio  theory. 

The  personnel  of  radio  station  WJTL  has  been  drawn  from  every  branch  of  the 
radio   field,  and   from   the   student  body   of  the   university.      The   staff   is   as    follows: 

David    Brinkmoeller,    formerly    manager    of    WGST,    is    now    director    of    WJTL. 

Frank  Parkins,  formerly  chief  engineer  of  WRBI  is  the  chief  engineer  in  charge 
of  WJTL's  technical  department. 

The  program  management  is  under  Jeff  MacMillan. 

Joe  Paget,  Barclay  Jackson,  Spencer  Worthy  and  Al  Herrick  are  announcers  and 
control  operators. 

George   Moore   and   Maurice   Coleman   are   commercial   representatives. 

Al  Riley,  Frank  Whitmore  and  Vernon  Anderson  are  engineers. 

Because  the  activities  of  the  Radio  Division  are  not  confined  solely  to  the  edu- 
cational field,  its  history  is  not  complete  without  some  mention  of  its  entertainment 
facilities.     It  has  put  on  the  air  some  of  the  foremost  musical  talent  of  the   South. 


The  Oglethorpe  orchestra  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Jeff  MacMillan  became  the  WJTL 
studio  orchestrp.  and  endeared  itself  to  the 
hearts  of  all  who  listened.  Oglethorpe 
football  games  have  been  and  will  be 
broadcast.  Sunday  devotional  programs 
are  a  regular  feature. 

Clo.^ely  linked  with  its  educational  work, 
arc  the  dramatic  features  presented  by 
WJTL.  Sponsored  by  the  Oglethorpe 
Players'  Club,  a  series  of  plays  were  broad- 
cast and  received  favorable  response.  A 
class  in  radio  drama  was  begun  and  pro- 
duced some  plays  of  notable  quality.  This 
phase  of  work  is  largely  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Dr.  James  E.  Routh.  The  pioneer 
work  begun  by  the  students  under  his  di- 
rection and  guidance  will  be  continued  and 
enlarged  upon.  It  is  rapidly  becoming  one 
of  the  most  important  features  of  the 
Radio  Division. 

The  introduction  of  the  Radio  Division 
to  Oglethorpe  University  also  opened  up 
many  new  opportunities  to  members  of  the 
student  body  who  wished  to  work  for  a 
part  of  their  college  expenses.  A  large 
number  of  these  students  are  employed  by 
WJTL.  The  studio  orchestra  is  made  up 
entirely  of  students,  and  several  regular 
members  of  the  staff  of  entertainers  were  drawn  from  the  student  body. 

A  large  part  of  the  personnel  of  WJTL  is  composed  of  students.  Some  who  had 
the  required  characteristics  were  trained  as  announcers  and  those  with  technical 
training  were  employed  as  engineers.  As  entertainers,  Oglethorpe  students  have 
proved  highly   versatile  and  some  artists  of  real  merit  have  been  found.

History  of  1932  Team 


By   Philip   Hildreth 


If  one  judges  the  success  or  failure  of  a  football  season  by  the  number  of  games 
won  or  lost,  then  Oglethorpe  was  not  successful  during  1931.  On  the  other  hand, 
such  an  attitude  is  contrary  to  the  fundamental  idea  of  competitive  athletics.  The 
champions  of  such  antagonistic  attitudes  will,  unless  suppressed,  finally  cause  the 
downfall  of  college  football. 

Football  is  played  at  Oglethorpe  University  by  a  squad  of  husky,  healthy  boys  who 
love  the  game,  who  are  learning  things  and  developing  qualities  which  will  make  them 
better  men.  Friendships  are  made  on  the  Hermance  Field  gridiron  which  will  last 
for  many  years. 

After  a  very  successful  four  weeks'  training  period,  the  Stormy  Petrels,  captained 
by  Parker  Bryant,  came  to  their  first  game  with  Chattanooga  University.  During  the 
pre-seaseon  period  the  individual  material  at  Oglethorpe  was  conceded  to  be,  as  a 
whole,  on  a  par  with  the  best  in  the  South.  On  the  eve  of  the  Moccasin  game,  Ed  Miles 
remarked  in  the  Atlanta  Journal,  "Oglethorpe's  battle  with  Chattanooga  should  pro- 
vide Atlanta  fans  with  one  of  the  finest  games  of  the  local  season.  The  teams  are 
old  rivals  and  Oglethorpe  has  not  defeated  the  Moccasins  in  five  years.  They  hope  to 
break  that  unlucky  string  Saturday,  having  as  they  do  one  of  the  best  teams  in  the 
history  of  their  school  and  with  Chattanooga  not  much  stronger  than  they  were  last 


year."  Nutty  Campbell  proved  a  sage  when  he  predicted  that  the  Moccasins  would 
win  the  new  Dixie  Conference  championship. 

This  initial  game  with  the  University  of  Chattanooga  was  the  first  loss  ever 
sustained  by  the  Petrels  on  Hermance  Field.  Chattanooga  put  on  a  spirited  last 
quarter  drive  and  scored  the  winning  points  with  but  a  few  minutes  to  play.  One 
will  not  forget  quickly  the  beautiful  run  of  Dapper  Myers  which  put  the  Petrels 
ahead  for  the  better  part  of  the  game.  After  the  game,  Jimmy  Burns,  of  the  At- 
lanta Georgian,  said,  "Myers  and  Anderson  were  heroes,  even  in  defeat,  but  if  vic- 
tory had  been  the  Petrels'  lot  they  would  have  been  given  more  credit  ....  Chat- 
tanooga has  a  great  line  and  a  great  center  in  Koeninger."  The  final  score  was 
12-7.  As  a  bit  of  consolation  Oglethorpe  outgained  Chattanooga  from  scrimmage 
155  to  92  yards.  After  this  game  the  versatile  Paul  Goldsmith  was  shifted  to  end, 
being  replaced  at  running  guard  by  Marion  Whaley,  a  reliable  wheelhorse  in  the 
line.  To  Goldsmith's  ability  Coach  Harry  Robertson  paid  a  glowing  tribute  after 
the  season's  end.  Said  sedate  Coach  Harry,  "Goldsmith  is  the  greatest  player  I 
have  ever  coached." 

Duquesne  University  was  met  in  a  nocturnal  affair  at  Pittsburgh  in  the  next 
game,  played  under  a  golden  harvest  moon.  Some  of  the  Petrels  no  doubt  became 
moonstruck,  and  another  loss  was  recorded.  The  Dukes  outfought  the  Birds  for  three 
quarters,  the  last  minute  rally  of  the  Petrels  being  stopped  by  a  referee's  whistle 
four   yards   short   of  the   final   stripe.      The   Pltlshiu  gh    Ledger   commented,   "Harry 


Robertson'E  Petrels  were  outplayed  during  the  first  half,  but  in  the  second  stanza 
they  were  several  times  dangerous.  A  bad  decision  just  before  the  end  of  the  game 
halted  a  rally  that  looked  good  for  a  touchdown,  which  would  have  meant  either  a 
tie  game  or  a  victory  for  Oglethorpe."  Dan  Kenzie's  absence  hurt  the  Petrels.  A 
bright   spot  was   Goldsmith's  aggressiveness  despite  a   painful   broken   finger. 

Manhattan  College  was  ne.xt  met,  after  three  day's  practice  for  the  Petrels,  under 
the  arc  lights  at  the  Polo  Grounds  in  Peter  Stuyvesant's  old  hangout.  Manhattan 
and  Oglethorpe  had  the  distinction  in  1930  of  playing  the  first  night  football  game 
ever  played  in  New  York  City.  Manhattan  lost  that  year  19-0,  but  in  1931  deserved 
their  12-0  victory  under  the  capable  tutelage  of  John  Law,  former  Notre  Dame  star. 
The  rhetorical  New  York  Times  sophisticatedly  chirped,  "Well -drilled  in  the  for- 
mations that  Knute  Rockne  taught  Law  at  Notre  Dame,  the  Jaspers  bewildered  the 
Georgians  with  a  quick  succession  of  reverses,  cross  bucks,  spinners,  double  and 
triple  passes,  and  had  the  Southerners  well  on  the  run  for  three  of  the  four  periods. 
In  the  third  period  Oglethorpe  was  at  its  best.  Generating  plays  from  the  Chick 
Meehan  military  huddle,  the  Peirels  slammed  down  the  field  for  seven  first  downs  in 
this  period  alone.  A  big  19.5-pound  back,  Putno,  was  the  spearhead  in  that  attack 
which  overlapped  slightly  into  the  final  quarter  when  the  Black  and  Gold  advanced 
to  the  Jasper  15-yard  line." 

At  this  juncture  came  Ed  Miles  crying  in  the  Atlanta  Journal,  "The  vaunted 
Oglethorpe  oft'ense  has  so  far  failed  to  put  over  the  scoring  punch.     With  two  triple 


threat  men  in  Frank  Anderson,  Jr.,  and  Ray  Walker  there  is  no  excuse  for  the  team's 
not  scoring,  no  matter  whom  they  go  up  against.  Harry  Robertson  has  a  fine  football 
team  out  Peachtree  way,  but  so  far  the  boys  have  not  started  clicking.  They  have 
the  ability,  but  timing  and  co-ordination  are  not  there." 

In  spite  of  the  defeat  the  trip  was  most  enjoyable  to  the  team.  At  the  Hotel 
Pennsylvania  Jack  Randolph  Hearst,  former  Oglethorpe  student,  feted  the  team  with 
a  banquet  at  which  Chick  Meehan,  then  N.Y.U.  coach  and  now  Manhattan  mentor 
and  life-long  friend  of  Coach   Harry   Robertson,  spoke  briefly. 

The  Loyola  game,  played  in  New  Orleans,  was  another  night-prowling  expedition, 
and  the  defeat  suffered  there  was  the  biggest  disappointment  of  the  entire  season. 
Loyola  was  pointing  for  Oglethorpe  because  of  the  blemish  put  on  the  Wolf  slate, 
otherwise  clean,  in  1930.  They  made  good  their  threats  by  putting  up  a  powerful 
defense  in  the  crises  of  the  game.  Score  12-7.  Three  times  within  the  last  ten  min- 
utes of  play  the  Petrels  were  inside  the  Loyola  five-yard  line  with  four  downs  to 
make  a  score.  The  New  Orleans  sports  scribes  politely  stated,  "Oglethorpe  has 
evidently  done  something  to  peeve  old  Dame  Fortune  for  she  refused  to  smile  upon 
the  hard-fighting  Petrels.  The  figures  show  that  Oglethorpe  outplayed  the  victors. 
Coach  Robertson's  combinations  gained  a  total  of  279  yards  by  rushing  to  148  for 
Loyola  and  were  credited  with  17  first-downs  to  Loyola's   10." 

Following  four  consecutive  losses,  there  was  a  bit  of  downheartedness,  but  no 
quitting.      Coach   Alexander,   of   Georgia   Tech,   suggested   that   Coach   Harry,   a   fine 


>    «   «v 


baritone  singer,  sing  to  the  boys  between  halves  instead  of  pep-talking.  Campus 
spirit  hit  a  new  high  for  the  season  with  placards  urging  the  team  against  the  next 
foe,  Furman  University.  The  Peti-el  Sliop  and  campus  buildings  blazed  with  signs, 
colors  and  pointed  adjurations  about  a  fifth  loss.  The  student  body  armed  with 
flowing  streamers  swarmed  upon  the  field  before  the  game  and  supported  the  team 
in  a  manner  unexcelled  in  Petrel  history.  Sweeping  down  from  the  hills  of  Carolina 
came  the  undefeated  Purple  Hurricane.  They,  too,  were  pointing,  for  Oglethorpe 
had  spoiled  a  perfect  season  for  them  in  1930.  In  the  midst  of  the  Furman  fol- 
lowers blared  a  triumphant  siren  stirring  the  Amismen  to  action.  Up  and  down 
the  field  tore  the  teams  in  the  most  heated  battle  seen  in  Atlanta  in  many  a  day. 
In  the  final  stanza  Clay  Sypert  booted  a  left-footed  goal  for  Oglehorpe  to  put  the 
game  into  the  fabled  larder.  0.  B.  Keeler  in  the  Jounuil  said,  "It  was  a  real  win, 
no  fluke  to  it.  The  Birds  turned  in  a  really  heroic  job  in  beating  the  undefeated 
Furman   team." 

Into  the  Southern  Conference  sped  the  Petrels  after  their  first  victory  over  Fur- 
man, with  Clemson  as  opponents.  Said  Ed  Danforth  in  the  Atlanta  Constitution, 
"Oglethorpe's  Stormy  Petrels  continued  their  recently  launched  victory  march  with 
a  12-0  conquest  of  the  Clemson  Tigers.  Dapper  Myers,  flashy  Petrel  fullback,  pro- 
vided the  sensation  of  the  day  when  he  broke  through  the  Tiger  line  in  the  first 
quarter  and  dashed  62  yards  for  the  first  touchdown."  And  in  the  Greenville  (S.  C.) 
Record,  "The  Clemson  game  was  an  easy  victory  for  Oglethorpe,  and  the  12-0  score 


does  not  represent  the  margin  of  victory.  The  Petrels  gained  231  yards  from  scrim- 
mage to  72  for  Clemson." 

After  a  week's  lay-olf,  the  Petrels  crossed  fingers  and  went  up  against  Wake 
Forest  College  on  Friday,  November  13th.  Declared  Jack  Kytle  of  the  AiUinta 
Georgian,  "The  Petrels  ripped  a  giant  Wake  Forest  team  to  pieces  on  Hermance 
Field,  burying  the  Deacons  under  a  37-0  score."  Continued  Ed  Miles  in  the  Jonr- 
nul,  "Never  has  an  Oglethorpe  team  played  a  more  powerful  brand  of  football  than 
they  showed  against  the  gigantic  Wake  Forest  team.  Never  have  linesmen  charged 
with  more  overwhelming  power  than  that  showed  by  Parker  Bryant,  Paul  Gold- 
smith, Dan  Kenzie,  Dave  Barrow,  John  Patrick,  Andy  Morrow,  and  Julian  Stovall, 
the  starters,  and  by  Pickard,  Whaley,  Shouse,  and  others  who  went  in  later.  Ogle- 
thorpe's backfield  stars  were  numerous.  Anderson,  Herrin,  Myers,  Walker,  Sypert, 
Harrison,  and  Raines  were  scintillant  on  defense  and  powerful  beyond  words  on 
offense." 

Came  the  disaster.  For  charity  Oglethorpe  met  the  Haskell  Institute  Indians 
on  Soldiers'  Field  in  Chicago.  The  game  was  not  a  regularly  scheduled  affair, 
being  added  after  the  start  of  the  season.  Oglethorpe  was  entirely  outclassed  and 
lost,  31-6.  The  Indians  had  not  scouted  and  their  tricky  offense  completely  baf- 
fled Oglethorpe  at  times.  It  was  a  fine  sight  to  see  Oglethorpe  come  back  in  the  last 
quarter  to  score  their  lone  marker.  The  Chicago  Herald  grunted,  "Oglethorpe  was 
the  victim  of  some  very  bad  medicine  yesterday,  stirred  up  by  the  Haskell  Indians 


JLrA 


who  defeated  the  Southerners  31-3.  Oglethorpe  made  a  nice  come-back  in  the  last 
quarter  and  Raines  scored  on  a  beautiful  pass  from  Walker.  The  score  would  in- 
dicate a  rout,  but  Oglethorpe  played  a  bang-up  game  of  ball.  The  defensive  work 
of  Raines,  Herrin,  and  Pickard  was  the  only  Petrel  spark  in  a  war-dance  of  flying 
redmen." 

With  the  sick  and  crippled  huddled  disconsolately  on  the  sidelines  five  days  later, 
the  Petrels,  almost  stormless,  were  hosts  to  the  arch  rival,  Mercer  University,  in 
the  annual  Thanksgiving  embroglio.  The  Oglethorpe  team  played  on  spirit  alone, 
and  Mercer  was  riding  the  crest  of  a  successful  season.  The  outcome  was  never 
in  doubt.  As  Jimmy  Burns'  post-mortem  ran,  "Out  of  the  half-dozen  or  more  heroic 
figures  in  the  thrill-punctuated  game  at  Hermance  Stadium  yesterday,  only  one  wore 
the  Gold  and  Black  of  Oglethorpe.  He  was  Dan  Kenzie,  the  Petrel's  right  tackle, 
who  fought  his  heart  out  in  the  vain,  yet  gallant,  attempt  to  stave  off  Mercer's 
20-0  victory." 

Jack  Troy's  say-so  in  the  Atlanta  Constitution  was  appropriate.  "And  so  they 
ended  their  season  with  a  defeat,  did  the  Petrels,  ended  as  they  had  begun,  losing 
but  fighting.  Since  there  is  more  to  football  games  than  bare  results,  the  Oglethorpe 
squad  has  nothing  to  feel  badly  over.     Never  once  has  their  fighting  spirit  lagged."

Baseball,  1932 


With  the  selection  of  Charlie  George,  stellar  Petrel  outfielder  on  the  College  Humor 
Ail-American  Baseball  Team,  Coach  Frank  Anderson  closed  another  season  of  base- 
ball at  Oglethorpe.  His  team  had  won  the  city  championship  by  virtue  of  three 
victories  over  perennial  rivals,  Georgia  Tech;  had  triumphed  over  University  of 
Georgia   player,  he   has   acquired   the   reputation   of   being   able   to   watch    a   prospect 

Auburn,  by  virtue  of  brilliant  play  at  bat  in  the  field,  repeated  her  flag  winning 
performance  of  1931  and  easily  coasted  into  first  place. 

Baseball  at  Oglethorpe  is  a  monument  to  Frank  Anderson.  Himself  a  former 
Georgia  player,  he  has  acquired  the  reputation  of  being  able  to  watch  a  prospect 
plow  a  field  and  tell  whether  or  not  there  is  baseball  in  his  bones. 

Captain  Charles  Mitchell,  after  four  years  of  Andersonian  tutelage,  was  one  of 
the  leading  moundsmen  of  the  Dixie  League.  The  tall,  lanky  product  of  Yeatsville 
nonchalantly  twirled  winning  baseball  in  such  fashion  as  to  merit  the  praise  given 
him  by  southern  newspapers. 

Frank  Anderson,  Jr.,  one  of  three  Andersons  who  have  represented  Oglethorpe 
on  the  diamond,  concluded  his  career  in  a  burst  of  glory. 

Marion  Whaley  and  Reed  Craven  handled  the  fast  slants  of  the  Petrel  twirlers 
superlatively. 

Big  Parker  Bryant  at  first  base  will  be  missed  next  year.  His  fielding  was  a 
wonder  to  behold.

Percy  Dixon  and  Happy  Vance,  a  duo  who  played  together  through  prep  days, 
formed   a  battery  greatly  feared   by   all   opponents. 

Deserving  of  most  praise  for  the  1932  season  is  Email  Harold  Martin,  capable 
shortstop.  Although  he  tipped  the  scales  at  the  Lilliputian  figure  of  120  pounds,  he 
tripled  his  weight  at  the  bat  and  bids  fair  to  be  one  of  the  most  versatile  players  ever 
coached  by  Anderson. 

Jack  Moore,  B.  Clark,  Truman  Riggins,  Emerson  Evans,  Eddie  Anderson,  Currie 
Martin,  Harold  Blackwell,  Sam  Baker,  Monford  Whitley,  and  the  twins,  Burkhalter 
and  Wall,  will  give  Frank  Anderson  a  nucleus  about  which  to  build  a  formidable 
machine  for  1933. 

The  passing  of  the  Dixie  League  is  to  be  regretted  Fathered  by  Anderson,  of 
Oglethorpe,  and  White,  of  Georgia,  it  brought  college  baseball  in  the  South  back  to 
a  position  of  prominence. 

Efforts  will  be  made  to  form  another  loop  with  perhaps  Oglethorpe,  Auburn, 
Clemson,  Alabama,  Chattanooga,  and  one  other  nearby  college. 

Major  league  scouts  were  in  abundance  during  the  past  season  and  several  Dixie 
League  players  will  perform  in  the  big  tent  as  a  result.

THE  OGLETHORPE  "0"  CLUB 


Intramural  Sports 

B]i  D.  H.  Overton,  Director 

In  order  to  extend  the  benefits  of  organized  athletic  compe- 
tition to  all  students  of  Oglethorpe  University,  instead  of  only 
to  those  who  take  part  in  intercollegiate  competition,  the  De- 
partment of  Physical  Education  sponsors  the  program  of  In- 
tramural Athletics. 

The  purpose  of  the  intramural  department  is  to  encourage 
every  student  to  participate  in  some  or  all  intramural  sports, 
to  provide  facilities  for  this  participation,  to  organize  and  pro- 
mote intramural  competition  and  to  stand  for  fair  play  and  true 
Eljortsmanship. 

This  program  includes  competitive  sports  for  every  student 
on  the  campus.  Students  thus  benefit  from  the  wholesome  ef- 
fect of  organized  sports,  and  from  the  physical  development 
which  naturally  follows. 

Intramural  competitors,  strangers  at  first  but  later  friends, 
learn  courage,  determination,  and  self  control.  Qualities  of 
loyalty,  self-sacrifice  and  team  play  are  also  thoroughly  in- 
grained  in   each   individual   through   this   program. 

The  fact  that  the  intramural  program  provides  continuous 
competition  in  some  sport  throughout  the  school  year  assures 
each  participating  student  of  physical  exercise  every  day  of 
the  school  year. 


The  First  Intramural  Program 


For  the  first  time  in  the  history  a  full  powered  program 
of  intramural  athletics  was  launched  in  1931-2  by  Coach  Jack 
Overton.  The  stocky  director  from  Gatorland  directed  the 
program  with  great  ability  and  brought  it  to  a  highly  suc- 
cessful conclusion. 

The  range  of  sports  was  wide,  including  football,  baseball, 
basketball,  tennis,  track  and  cross  country,  swimming,  and 
golf. 

In  football,  organized  on  the  fraternity  and  club  idea, 
Pi  Kappa  Phi  romped  to  an  easy  victory,  concluding  with  no 
defeats.  Stellar  playing  by  Park  Brinson  and  B.  Clark  in  the 
backfield  and  a  sturdy  line  helped  them  on. 

Not  content  with  this  first  crash  into  the  ranks  of  winners. 
Pi  Kappa  Phi  repeated  in  the  fraternity  tourney,  wrestling  a 
close  one  from  Kappa  Alpha  to  win  the  cup 

Free  throwing  aroused  much  interest  and  after  tedious 
tryouts,  Monford  Whitley  and  Helen  Stevens  succeeded  in  looping  more  balls  through 
the  hoops  than  any  others. 

Tennis  found  Charles  Bourn  and  Benjamin  Hargrove  battling  for  supremacy. 
Hargrove,  a  first  year  man,  defeated  Bourn,  former  title  holder,  in  a  gruelling  and 
tense   match. 

In  the  feminine  sports.  Beta  Phi  Alpha  ruled  supreme. 
Combining  doughty  hearts  with  pulchritude,  the  sorority  girls 
smeared  their  Chi  Omega  and  Kappa  Delta  opponents  all  over 
the  lot  to  win  the  all-around  pennant. 

Perhaps  the  most  favorable  feature  of  the  whole  sports 
program  was  the  welding  of  fast  friendships.  The  Olympic 
Club,  newest  local  on  the  campus,  found  its  birth  in  the  ath- 
letic competition,  as  did  the  All-Americans  and  other  hitherto 
unorganized    groups.

Ass 't. Editor  of  Yamacraw 

Oglethorpe  University, Ga. 


My  dear  Miss  Crandall: 


I  am  returning  the  photographs 
you  sent  me  together  with  my  selections  as  you  re- 
quested. This  marks  my  first  experience  in  this 
capacity  and  I  am  naturally  a  little  doubtful  as  to 
my  qualifications  to  judge  impartially  and  well. 

All  the  younp;  ladies  looked 
attractive  to  me, so  picking  winners  was  a  tough 
task  indeed.  However, I  have  done  my  best  and  only 
trust  the  selections  are  reasonably  accurate. 

With  all  good  wishes  to  the 
folks, down  that  way, I  am. 


Sincer^y  yours.

WINNERS    OF    THE    OGLETHORPE    COAT-OF-ARMS 


Imaginary  Situation 

By  Sara  Henderson  Hay 

When    Ti-ojan    Helen    closed    her   perilous   eyes, 
And  laid  her  light  limbs  down,   God   sighed   ,"Ah  well- 
Give  her  admission  into  Paradise; 
She  would  be  sadly  out  of  place,  in  Hell." 

Curious,  His  failure  to  foresee  the  day 
When  all  of  Heaven  would  tingle  to  the  story 
Of  how  that  shameless  ghost  had  led  astray 
The   comeliest   Seraph   in  the   Realms   of   Glory. 


OifZJL 


Apoloj^y 

Bii  Carl  John  Bostelman 

Great   song   is   sublimation   of   great   sorrow; 
Man's   anguish  gives   him   music.   Free  from   care, 
I  can  not  lose  my  laughter,  so  I  borrow 
My  lyric  moment  from   a  lost  despair. 

When  sudden  rapture  wakens  and  is  muted — 
A  sound  at  once  become  magnificence — 
One   strain   of    song,   and    silence    is   refuted 
And    mood    become    immortal    eloquence. 

So   I   must   celebrate,   though   none   may   hear   it. 
And  lift  up  empty  hands  that  might  have  hurled 
The  pregnant  message  of  a  fevered  spirit. 
To    shout   one   song   against   a   grieving   world. 

Because  I  sing,  who  have  not  any  sorrow. 
With  laughter  challenging  all  ancient  wrong, 
The   answer   of   an    infinite   tomorrow 
Must  be  eternal  echo  to  my  song. 

— From  Bozart.

Players'  Club 


The  work  of  the  Players'  Club  has  been  spasmodic  this  year,  but, 
as  p.  whole,  satisfactory. 

Our  first  activity  was  the  presentation,  first  at  school,  later  at 
the  Atlanta  Woman's  Club,  of  three  one-act  plays.  The  casts  ar,?  listed 
herewith.

To  criticize  these  plays  is  to  get  into  more  complications  than  their 
importance  justifies.  That  they  were  typical  college  plays,  presented 
in  typical  college  style,  cannot  be  denied.  And  then  there  was  the 
audience — 

The  experiments  with  Radio  Drama  promise  to  be  the  nuclei  for 
better  work.  They  were  truly  experimental,  but  have  marked  the  be- 
ginning  of   worthwhile   work. 

The  Spring  Play  deserves  all  the  praise  space  will  permit.  The 
selection  of  the  Players'  Club  and  the  English  Department  was  Henrik 
Ibsen's  "A  Doll's   House." 

As   to   the   more   or   le3s   minor   details,   John    Wigington    deserves 


praise  for  the  stage  set. 
nc';  impressionistir. 


It  was  quite  appropriately  uncommon,  though 


The  cast,  selected  by  try-outs,  was: 

Nora   Helmer Betty   Crandall 

Torvald    Helmer Frank    Gaither 

Nil-,    Krogstad Howard    Martin 

Christina   Linden Aline   Fraser 

Dr.    Rank Barclay    Jackson 

Ellen,  the  maid .Ruth   Ward 

Anna,  the  nurse Frances  Hurley 

The   Helmers'   Three   Children Donald   Coffin, 

Lucy  Jones  Crane,  Edward  Duff  Crane  III 

The  production  was  minutely  perfected  in  all  details.  To  Betty 
Crandall.  goes  credit  for  a  splendid  performance  as  well  as  for  the  able 
assistance  she  gave  in  interpretation  at  rehearsals.  If  it  was  her 
Oglethorpe  Players'  Club  Swan  Song,  she  has  sung  well.  The  other 
members  of  the  cast  supported  her  well,  and  it  is  the  general  consensus 
of  opinion  that  this  performance  was  the  best  ever  presented  by  the 
Club. 

By  request  "A  Doll's  House"  was  repeated  as  a  feature  of  Com- 
mencement Week,  at  a  special  performance  for  our  visiting  recipients 
of  degrees. 

Sam  Miller  was  director  of  the  Players'  Club  this  year.

The  Oglethorpe  Debate  Council  held  its  annual  tryout  last  October 
in  the  school  auditorium  before  the  student  body.  Four  varsity  de- 
baters and  three  freshmen  debaters  were  chosen. 

The  first  debate  was  at  Mercer  University  in  Macon;  at  that  debate 
Oglethorpe  met  defeat.  The  next  debate  was  with  Bucknell  in  Ogle- 
thorpe's auditorium;  in  this  evenly  contested  debate  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity was  given  a  2  to  1  decision  over  Oglethorpe.  Vernon  Anderson 
and  Dan  Duke  defended  Oglethorpe.  Then  the  Mercer  freshmen  came 
to  Oglethorpe  and  the  Oglethorpe  freshmen  gained  a  decided  victory 
over  them. 

Dan  Duke  was  reelected  Chairman  of  the  Debate  Council  and 
Aline  Fraser  was  elected  Secretary.

Bii  NiSBET   LeConte,   '35 

The  grey  November  day  turns  to  depart; 
This  is  the  end.     Let  now  no  word  be  spoken 
To  quicken  anguish  of  a  breaking  heart. 
Let   deafening   silence   reign   supreme,   unbroken. 

I  have  no  need  to  rake  the  dying  embers 
Of  love  that  once  leaped   high  in  joyous  flame; 
There  is  enough  of  grief  that  one  remembers, 
And  love,  once  crushed,  can  never  be  the  same. 

The   coins   that  you   have   laid   upon   love's   eyes, 
Growrn   suddenly  old  and  colorless   in   death. 
Shall  not  be  moved;  the  dead  will  not  arise 
To  haunt  you,  you  who  killed  love  in  a  breath. 

The  grey  November  day  turns  to  depart, 
And   winter  now  has  come   upon   my  heart! 


Your  tongue 
tells  when  you 
need 


aiotabs 


Coated  tongue,  dry  mouth, 
bad  breath,  muddy  skin, 
groggy  nerves  and  sour 
stomach  suggest  its  use.
