The above illustration of the coat of arms of General Ogle- thorpe was taken from an old book in the Carnegie Library of Atlanta. The shield consists of a field argent, with a black chevron and three boars' heads, two heads above the chevron and one below. It is surmomited by a larger boar's head, with a green twig and tusk showing. The motto on the scroll beneath reads, "Nescit Cedere." The original coat of arms has remained unchanged, except the motto, "Nescit Cedere," which has been changed to, ''Manu Dei Resurrexit." OUR NAME There is a great deal of Indian story and history connected with the name "Yamacraw." It was at Yamacraw Bluff, near Savannah, that Gen- eral James Oglethorpe landed. Yamacraw Bluff got its name from a tribe of Indians who lived in that vicinity. The Indians later moved westward, and settled along the banks of the Chattahoochee, near the present site of Oglethorpe University. m. Ij^^lACg^l Dedication This issue of the Yamacraw is dedicated to two of the best friends that any college in the whole wide world ever had to Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton of Chat- tanooga, Tennessee. At a time when there was no great financial force back of Oglethorpe University, when no person had given an unconditional gift to this institution of more tlian $1,000.00, Mr. and Mrs. Lupton, after hearing the story of its ideals from the pulpit of the First Pres- byterian Church of Chattanooga, made an initial gift of $10,000.00 cash, to which they have added from time to time, until there is now being erected on the campus of the University a building of steel and stone, given by them in memory of Mr. Lupton's mother. This monument to her is, at the same time, a monu- ment to the great hearted generosity of the donors, than whom there is not and will not ever be anyone more loved by the boys and girls and faculty and members of the Board of Founders of Oglethorpe University. ilsG Pi^^^^S^^ m Foreword HERE are those who will pity naore than blame the Staff for this imperfect production, while others will lose their patience and condemn without qualifi- cation. Such adverse criticisms are fully antic- ipated. And yet we cheerfully go about the work and as cheerfully bear any amount of ob- jection and odium that may be heaped upon it. To the "Ferocious Rhetoricians'" and "Unmer- ciful Critics," the Staff declares they fully realize the many imperfections of this, the second volume of The Yamacraw. The editors desire that you recall the financial conditions and the many diffi- culties under which they were forced to labor. Therefore, whatever may be your decision when you have examined the book, they ask that you con- sider it sympathetically, with at least a suspended judgment, and with as little admixture of critical repugnance as the nature of the contents will allow. The Editor-in-Chief. p^^B^^B^^i m Oglethorpe An Historical Sketch ||GLETHORPE College was formally opened in 1835 under the direction of the Synod of Georgia. It was situated on a long, low ridge, called Midway, near Milledgeville. Old Oglethorpe j grew from a state normal training school into an historic univer- sity, whose renowned halls gave Georgia some of her greatest men, and gave the world our own Sidney Lanier. Princeton College had been growing in New Jersey, and was largely patronized by the youth of the entire nation, and especially this section of the South. Owing to the long distances, which must be traveled on horse- back, it was suggested that a college similar to Princeton be founded in the South. This suggestion materialized, and Oglethorpe College was the outcome. The same idea, characteristic of the New Oglethorpe, of getting men of the highest educational attainments to hold professorships is revealed by such names as the following, who were members of the Oglethorpe College Faculty: Joseph Le Conte, the eminent geologist; James Woodrow, uncle of Woodrow Wilson, Professor of Science; Samuel K. Talmadge, the bril- liant administrator, and many others. In the President's office today may be seen a crayon drawing of Sidney Lanier, an Oglethorpe alumnus of world-wide fame, showing him when he was fifteen years old, his age when he entered college. Hanging beside this picture is his diploma, bearing the name of the then president of Ogle- thorpe, Dr. Samuel K. Talmadge. We do not hesitate to say that anv col- lege would pay a fabulous sum for them, if the honor of having graduated so famous a poet could be included in the bargain. Shortly after the graduation of Lanier, the Northern and Southern States became at odds, and the deplorable Civil War followed. Lanier and all of his college comrades who could qualify, with the greatest number of the faculty, answered the call of the South. Being so thoroughly convinced that the South was in the right, and so imbued with Southern rights, Oglethorpe shut its doors; her student body marched away to meet their Northern brothers. Not satisfied with furnish- ing all of her available man power, Oglethorpe invested her funds in Con- federate bonds. Her beautiful main building was used as a hospital and barracks, and was later burned. An effort was made to revive the institution after the war, but the dark days of the reconstruction and the insolvency of the South would not permit, and after a couple of years the doors were closed for the second time, but even in so short a while she graduated some distinguished men, among them being a governor of Georgia. Oglethorpe died at Gettysburg, where she meekly bowed to the vic- torious armies of our brothers of the North. Old Oglethorpe lives today on the pages of history a stainless character, determined to let the world know that she was true to the principles of those who had founded her. It is with bowed heads that we recall those days of adversity, when Oglethorpe answered the call of the stricken South, shut the doors of the college, and gave freely of her life on the battlefields. Her sacrifices and sorrows are our heritage, and today, standing in the full dawn of her re- newed youth, we rejoice with our Alma Mater, "whose history breathes and burns in legend and in story." Under the leadership of Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, now president of Ogle- thorpe University, Old Oglethorpe was resurrected. Only eight years have elapsed since he, working with a band of indefatigable business men of At- lanta, began the monumental task of reviving an institution which had been forgotten, save to students of history. The resurrecting process was begun in the face of the greatest war in which man has ever been engaged. But in spite of financial disaster and utter turmoil, Oglethorpe has forged ahead, until today she is universally and favorably known. Her subscrip- tions have long since passed the million-dollar mark. The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid on January 21, 1916, with her truthful and triumphal motto engraven upon it: "Manu Dei Resurrexit." As good fortune would have it, her doors opened again, this the third time, in September, 1916, after fifty years of rest beneath the charred mins of fratricidal strife. Her first magnificent building, made of granite, trimmed in limestone, and as near fire-proof as human skill of the twentieth century could make it, was ready to welcome the first class of Oglethorpians. A Faculty, every member of which held the highest degree the world can bestow in their departments, had been assembled. Following the first building, the Board of Directors have made plans for erecting fourteen more of the same type. As Dr. Jacobs has said, "All of this has been done in the midst of financial distress that darkened tlie spirit of the whole nation, and against the evil influences of a colossal war, which caused the very joints of the world to gape."' The resurrection of Oglethorpe reads like a romance. Beginning eight years ago with a subscription of $1,000, Oglethorpe soon enlisted the sj'mpathy and friendship of a great number of liberal Southern patriots. In the President's office may be seen today several huge volumes of names, each pledging sums ranging from fifty cents to $50,000. They are mem- iisg |;^^lACjf^J bers of the immortal Founders' Club, who have brought Oglethorpe thus far, and who are determined to stop only when she shall have equaled in true greatness any college, anywhere. All of these names are to be com- piled into one great book; the name of this book is to be the Founders' Book. This historical sketch could be carried much further. Half the story has not been told. \^'e sincerely hope that every reader of The Yamacraw, who has not heard the interesting and wonderful story of Oglethorpe Uni- versity, will some day have that privilege.

Some came early, some came late, and some IkM-- later, but we all got here We were the second class to enter Oglethorpe after her doors were re- opened, but we were not second-class men by any means. In fact we made such an impression on the Sophomores, the only class here, that they failed to give us the customary chastisement, which is the sad lot of newly arrived college freshmen the world over. At least, that is what we thought at the time, but it turned out that they were just royal good fellows and all gen- tlemen, so thev refrained from indulging in that pastime, and simply wel- comed us into the fold. The way in which they greeted us at the railroad station and then initiated us into the mysteries of matriculation, and showed us over the buildings and campus, proved their gentlemanly qualities in a manner which we shall never forget. Our life that year was uneventful, and we pursued the regular college routine of classes and studies, becoming each day more and more aware of our ignorance and greenness. The following year, as sure enough Sophomores, we began those trying days of the Students Army Training Corps. The less said of those, the bet- ter, for whenever we think of them we remember what General Sherman said about war. True, compared to the boys "Over There," we had a cinch, but then the term "cinch" is wholly a comparative one. And comparing from the other direction we had well, as before stated, the less said the better. On December 5th, 1918, we disbanded our litde army, which, by tlie way, was some three hundred strong, of which the Sophomores were nearly a third, a considerable increase over our entire student body of fifty odd the previous year. But at this time a large number of them dropped out, leav- ing our ranks somewhat thin. The remainder of this year was uneventful and came to a close on June 4th, 1919. Some few, after a short stay home, returned to Ogletliorpe to take tlie summer course, but the majority of us did not come back until the opening of school in the fall. About this time Oglethorpe was beginning to appear somewhat in the limelight in athletics, having on her football and baseball schedules such teams as Georgia, Tech, Vanderbilt, Sewanee, Auburn, and other large schools of the South. We are proud to say that our class, the Junior class of that year, contributed largely to Oglethorpe's athletic success. Such men k^B^^B^^i as Hope, catcher for the 1920 nine, and who was given a place on the mythical All-Southern; Moore, the heavy guard of the eleven; and Calm&s, who, the following year, was captain of the track team. By this time we had quite outgrown our Freshman freshness and Sopho- more wise-foolishness, or foolish wisdom, and were approaching the dig- nity of Seniors, which it would soon be our turn to take upon us. Although our number was small, there being only nine in the class, we shouUered and upheld the responsibilities and dignity of Juniors in a creditable manner. And now comes the closing chapter in our history. We are Seniors that shining goal toward which we have been struggling for three long years, and yet short years when reckoned by the hour glass of companionship, is gained. While we have not the honor of being the first class to graduate from Oglethorpe, we are proud to be listed as one of the first Senior classes. Our number is increased over the class of last year, to eighteen, some taking summer courses and advancing to our class, others, prefering Ogle- thorpe to their Alma Maters, have joined our ranks. Our time is almost up. The passage has been fraught with some difficulty, but it has been one of pleasant associations and acquaintances, and one which we are loath to leave, but for the bigger, better things of life there must always be some sacrifice made and some unpleasant separation. To the underclassmen and our beloved faculty we extend a fond fare- well. To the former, we also extend the sincere wish that their sojourn in Oglethorpe may be as pleasant and profitable as that of the class of 1921. C. I. PIRKLE. Senior Class Historian.

This is none other than "Jack." He may be seen any- time of the day clog-dancing, or imitating one of our dearly beloved members of the faculty, or anything along this line.

Since entering Oglethorpe, "de La " has been working towards his degree with the idea of some day being a doctor, but he now says that he is going to China. Whatever you do, "de La," luck to you!

"Bird" came to Oglethorpe in 1917, but soon after answered the call of his country and served two years in Frarice. However, when he was dis- charged from the army he again entered Oglethorpe in 1919. ""Bird" is well known in college baseball, being a member of the Mythical All-Southern nine of last season. His going will be keenly felt, especially by the baseball squad, but we are willing to give him up as we know there is a great success await- ing him in after life. Varsity Baseball "17, '18.

Notwithstanding these accomplishments, we find Dwight taking an active and enthusiastic part in the various college activities. He has the stuff to make good and we are looking for a big man in his field of work. Member B. H. S. Club; Private S. A. T.

Frank Simpson, "Daddy" Price and Frank Sims have had more than one heated argument as to whether or not Clearwater is really in the United States or not. Of course, "Mac" claims it is, but only last year he was caught arguing with a sign-post, so maybe he is just saying this for the sake of arguing. Anyway, one glance at "Mac's" marks will convince anyone that he has the stuff. Senior Class Prophet; Member American Legion; Thalian Literary So- ciety; Band '20, '21; Private S. A. T. C.

Preston is having a hard time trying to figure out what degrees to take next, not being satisfied with the three he now holds.

Introducing our "Simp" is an easy job. as he is known by everyone. His sense of humor is of the keenest and nothing ridiculous ever escapes his eye. "Simp" came to us from the University of Georgia in 1919. and was therefore ineligible to take part in football and baseball last year. This year, he played right guard on the football team and held down the initial sack on the baseball squad. He is one of our best and we predict for him a verv' bright future.

He is an ardent admirer of the weaker sex, and to this he attributes any shortcomings that he may have. We predict that Jesse will occupy some great nook in this big, wide world. Member S. A. T.

He said he was a Hindoo traveling in this country; he had J^^mll lost his letters of credit and needed money to send a cablegram. He offered to pledge me his most precious possession for a loan. So I went with him to his room at the Piedmont Hotel, where he unlocked his trunk and took out the strangest looking Ouija board I ever saw. "That," he said, "has marvelous and infallible powers of pi'ophecy." I asked Ouija a few questions and was thunderstruck with the uncanny way it knew. So I readily loaned him ten dollars and he handed me the Ouija board to keep until his return from New Orleans. I brought Ouija with me to Oglethorpe and asked many more ques- tions. Correct every time! Then it popped into my mind that the Editor requested me to get out the Class Phophecy. What could be more fortunate? Here was the very thing! Ouija can really read the future, let him proph- esy. Every night from then on Ouija took me into the future years of dif- ferent members of the Class of 1921. I was told that "Daddy" Price is to become a commercial wizard and will realize his ambition, that is, to buy from a Scotchman and sell to a Jew and make a profit. Ouija is quite positive that Preston Seanor will live in Fayetteville, Ga., and raise Yates apples. Ouija hesitated about Frank Simpson's future, but finally managed to get the dope on him. He will be a doctor in a Dog and Cat Hospital. Ouija predicts a bright future for the Trimble twins. They will be- come the Chicken Kings of the South. I asked what kind of chickens, and Ouija said, "Feathered ones." When Ernest Moore was mentioned Ouija seemed to laugh and said he would become a Mack Sennett of the future, and that Jack Cain will be his star comedian and will rival the now popular Charlie Chaplin. Ouija was a little slow in predicting C. I. Pirkle's future, but finally said he would be an advance agent for a firm of undertakers. I asked Ouija to explain this new position my classmate was to occupy and Ouija said some people call them doctoi's. Marquis Calmes, Ouija says, will become a great astronomer and will write a famous book called "Stars As Seen From the Fifth Row Orchestra." Roy Conine is to be a great Philanthropist and will operate a cafe or a place for starving college boys to eat. From what Ouija says of this cafe, there will be some lucky college boys in the future. I^-75C^ACSyvW^]^ p;^^LACg^j| Harold Trimble will, if Ouija is working right tonight, become a great doctor and will some day discover a sure and painless cure for corns. When asked about Francis Fife, Ouija acted real funny and I couldn't understand it for awhile, but it was drawing. I followed it as well as I could and it was a funny picture. So Ouija must think that Francis will become one of the Bud Fishers of the future. Ouija says "Andy" Hosteller will some day become a famous pro- fessor of Biology and will be the head of that department at an A. and M. school. Ouija says that Frank Sims will be very successful as an editorial writer and will become the Editor of the Westminster Magazine. Ouija has a hunch that Dwight Johnson will run a second-hand furni- ture store on Decatur street, and will need all of his knowledge of salesman- ship, acquired w^iile at Oglethorpe. Ouija says that Tom Morgan will become an authority on Animal Hus- bandry and will be a professor in the Congo River Agricultural College. Ouija has all the dope on "Bird" Hope and predicts that he will be- come a great baseball authority and will become the manager of the to-be- famous Buckhead team, pennant winners of the "Moonshiner's League." I was just going to ask Ouija about the class member whose future is most interesting to me, when I was interrupted by a knock on my door. In walks my friend, the Hindoo. He returns the money and takes Ouija, which he will not sell at any price. After he hurries away to catch a train, I hasten to write down the things Ouija said.

Par- ticularly has the energy of its members been manifested in the classroom work and upon the athletic field. For one reason or another the long role of Freshmen, which entered Oglethorpe in the fall of 1918, has fallen away until as Juniors our strength in numbers stands away in striking contrast to our Freshman class of three years ago when we were decidedly the largest class in school. Having graduated from the role of Freshmen and later as self-ap- pointed and publicly acknowledged disciplinarians to the following year's Freshman class, the class of '22 has accepted that place usually accorded Juniors: an understudy to Seniors; an unsolicited counselor of Sophomores and Freshmen, a belief, purposely made very evident, that we are the best class at Oglethorpe University and a usually successful attempt and de- mand to have representation in every phase of the various activities of col- lege life.

Wood k^B^^^^i History of The Sophomore Class The Sophomore class dates from the Fall of '19. We came on the campus fully determined to show the Sophomores and faculty how impor- tant we were to the college, and that we knew about all there was to be learned. However, before the first night had passed, the Sophomores had visited the room of each Freshman, giving each a free hair cut, and apply- ing their belts in a manner that reminded us of our days of childhood. With other minor punishments we were made to keep in mind the rest of the year that we were Freshmen, and that we should keep our place. At the close of our Freshman year, at the suggestion of Dr. Jacobs, our class met and drew up a list of rules to be applied to the incoming Freshman class. These rules were submitted to the Faculty and approved by them. By this form of ruling we hoped to eliminate all forms of unnecessary hazing of Freshmen at Oglethorpe. However, we did not wish to let the new man forget that he was a Freshman. After considering the difficulty of this task, we believe that this system has worked very successfully. Only on a few occasions has it been necessary for the belt to be applied in order that some of the new men should not forget that they are Freshmen. We sincerely hope that the Sophomore classes that follow will adopt this sys- tem of controlling the Freshman classes. In athletics, members of our class have made their names prominent in our college history. On the successful baseball team of '20, our popular president. Ford Little, won a letter; also Roy Carlyle had the honor of hav- ing the highest batting average on the team. We are expecting still greater work from Roy this coming season. In football, Johnson, Varnedoe, Lunsford, and Reeves have done good work in making the past season a success. Our class claims the honor of being the first Freshman class at Ogle- thorpe to enroll girls. These members have shown their ability in the class- room. When the play, "The Cabinet Minister," was given by the Players Club, Martha Shover was a member of the cast. This year our number has increased, and we are expecting great work from these members of our class. With this fine material we are looking forward to the class of "23, to be the best that has honored the college that we love so much. R. W. CHANCE, Sophomore Class Historian. n% Ij^B^e^^ Freshman Class History (1920-'21.) As the term of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Twenty-one rolled around, Oglethorpe found the largest class in its history. A week was spent enjoying college life before the Sophomores gave us notice that we should organize within two weeks after school opened. Our first meeting was called to order by Dr. Libby, and after a short talk, we had an election of officers. These officers were: Edgar David, President; "Mutt"' Stephens, Vice-President; "Red" Ivy, Treasurer, and Miss Emily Walker, Secretary. Everyone voted that we make this class the best in past years and in the years to come, which we have started out to carry forth. We were requested by the Sophomores to give a Minstrel Show within two weeks after our first meeting. So, without time to give a real first-class show, parts were given out, and their actors proved very successful, as we did not have a pick from the Sophomore class. We have one hundred and five new students and seven coming from other colleges, which gives a grand total of one hundred and twelve "Rats." Looking at our great increase over previous years, we find a Freshman in nearly every college activity. There are nine men on the football squad, six of these being on the first eleven, and the other three first subs. These men which we are proud of are: Edgar David and Ed McGarity, ends; Adams, guard; Whitehead, center; Parr, Stephens, Ivy and Morris, back- fields. We know that in every sport the Freshman class will be well repre- sented. A word must be said of our Co-eds: Last year we had only three, and this year we have fourteen in the Freshman class alone. Five of these have made the highest average of the entire student body. The Freshmen have been very lucky this year (as we out-number the Sophomores two to one) and no serious accidents have occurred among either class. However, the reason for this is that the class of 1920-'21 stands for good spirit, and a hearty co-operation with the Sophomore class. J. T. Morris, Freshman Historian. m.

So he buckled right in, ivith the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldnt be done, and he did it. Somebody scoffed. "Oh, you'll never do that; At least no one has ever done it." But he took off his coat and he took off his hat. And the first thing we knew, he'd begun it; With the lift of his chin, and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quit it; He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done. There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one. The dangers that wait to assail you; But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin. Then take off your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as \ou tackle the thing That ''cannot be done,'' and you'll do it. l^^lACg^l Phi Kappa Phi Founded 1904 Pi Chapter Established 1918 Colors: Gold and White Flower: Red Rose FRATRES IN URBE H.

The first dates from the establishment of chapters in 1859 by Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. This period came to an abrupt end in 1861, when the loyal sons of Oglethorpe marched away to defend the Southland. The second period was a brief and unfortunate one. It dates from 1870-73, when the University was re-established in Atlanta, only to fall in the general crash caused by the financial disaster of the reconstruction days. However, the fraternity spirit was active at this time for Kappa Alpha, followed by Chi Phi and Phi Delta Theta, installed chapters in the school. The third period dates from May 17, 1918, when Pi Kappa Phi was the first fraternity to install a chapter in new Oglethorpe. This was fol- lowed by Kappa Alpha on December 1, 1918. Besides Pi Kappa Phi and Kappa Alpha, there are two local clubs, the Alpha Lambda Tau and the Alpha Omega. All of these have pros- pered, and they have aided in establishing a fraternal spirit that bids fair to make Oglethorpe one of the most prominent fraternity schools of the South.

Hermance for the erection of an athletic stadium. This gift was first announced at the big football banquet held in December, 1919, and which came as a surprise to everyone. Even the President knew nothing of what was to happen that night. Several months previous to our bequest, Mr. Hermance had told a group of football men that he had an ambition to help Oglethorpe raise the $50,000 for a stadium, but it never occurred to any of them that he and Mrs. Hermance would be the donors. The students passed resolutions requesting the Board of Directors to name the stadium Hermance Field in honor of the donors. The construction of the stadium will follow the architectural policy of Oglethorpe. It will be constructed of granite as are all the other buildings. Work on the stadium is well under way and we are hoping to open our 1921 football schedule on Hermance Field. Ultimately we plan to build a stadium the equal of any in the East.

When it was announced that Walter B. Elcock had signed to turn out the future football teams of the Petrel camp, folks of all counties, cities and towns pricked up their ears and stopped betting so heavily on the Petrels" opponents. And why? Well, in the first place Coach Elcock had been a football player, a star performer, in the days of his youth. In fact he had been such a good player that he had been called ""the most aggressive man who ever played on a Dartmouth team." and before he left Dartmouth he had made the ""All-American" varsity. In the second place, the fans marveled because he had coached at Washington and Lee a few years ago and caused W. and L. to turn out reputable teams. And in the third place. Coach Elcock came to us with a reputation that would make anyone prick up their ears, a reputation gained only by his wonderful ability, not only as a player and lover of ihe game, but also as a coach. It is true that Coach Elcock's 1920 Petrels lost several games, one or two of whicli should have been won, but that was due to the fact that it was a new coach trying to mold a team from inexperienced material. This department of the Yamacraw predicts that within five years, provided a little support is given. Coach Elcock will turn out a team that will not only defeat any other team in the South but will also be able to stand against, and more than likely defeat, any team in our country. This isn't just talk to fill up space it is straight dope in the form of a conservative prediction. P^^S^^B^tl M \iikiwpi ^'"^H^^^^ 2''^^* - lucky Battle Agaiasi ' Hurlers' Duel ft?

Along toward the last of the season Ed put on more steam and turned out to be a terror in the hearts of his opponents for he bucked a line like a shrapnel. Ed did fine work for his first year at it and if he comes back next year he will not only have fullback cinched, but will make the fans prick up their ears. Ed is 22 and weighs 165. Carlton ("Red") I'vey entered camp with a string of medals won at track meets for being a fast man, but because of his small size it was thought he would not make a football player. In spite of his greenness, ""Red" proved he could play football and especially on defensive did he show that he knew how to back up a line. Ivey is 20 and weighs 145. Hugh Turner finished his third season as half- back last Thanksgiving Day. Hugh is small of stature but he is all there, especially as a defense man. Hugh should show "em next year that Tech High products can play big-time football as well as any of "em. Hugh is 21 and weighs 148. Ed David prepped at Locust Grove Institute in his young days and came to Oglethorpe to shine in the big light. At the beginning of the season he was used in the backfield but Coach soon switched him to end. where he did so well that he finishhed the season in that position. Some folks say Ed is get- ting old. but in spite of this he is handsome and retains his ability to play football like a youngster. Ed is 22 and weichs 145. Ralph Reeves, a veteran of two seasons, continued to be a dependable end last season and in several games, especially the Thanksgiving game, he pleased the fans and students, as well as his teammates, by being ever able to save the day in the pinches. Ralph was handicapped by injuries a great part of the season but he did better than the average player, in spite of injuries. Ralph is 22 and weighs 148. Jake Morris is another product of Boys" High who made his letter in his Freshman year. Jake played in most of the games at quarterback and with a little more experience should make a mighty good field general. Jake is 21 and weighs 160. R. W. f'Mutt") Stephens was discovered in the game with Dahlonega, but before that game was over he was so badly injured that he was unable to get back into the harness for a few days. Finally he recovered enough to appear in the line-up. and in more than one game he thrilled spectators with his jam-up playing. "Mutt" is a Freshman also, but it is a cinch that he will be a star performer before his Senior year. "Mutt" is 19 and weighs 16.5. Oscar Lunsford came down from Dahlonega and began trying out for an end. but because of his size and weight he was soon switched to tackle where he did so well in several games that he won his letter. Oscar is 21 and goes to bed weighing 180. 119: P;^MLA2S^ji r-\ The editor of this department, ever willing to have his picture "took." admits having made his letter last season as a tackle. He admits that he isn't a star football player, for he never tried to play football until he came to Oglethorpe, but he does hold the record of having gone through the entire 1920 season without being late to or missing a single practice. Likewise in 1919 he was on time at every practice except one and that was due to sickness. Ted is 21 and weighs 180 without his typewriter. 'J Hj "Hi H. F. C'Peck'") Whitehead, a Freshman, turned out to be a pretty good center before the season was over. When Barlenfeld was injured or given a rest, "Peck" was always sent in as snapperback. "Peck" is built for a center and with his natural ability and a little more experience should be a valuable man next season. "Peck" is 20 years old and weighs 180. Ben Adams is another product of the Locust Grove Institute, made famous by our All-.\merican manager. "Daddy" Price. Ben doesn't look so ter- ribly ferocious but in the game with Sewanee he ran into a halfback so hard that Sewanee is still wondering why they have stone walls on Ponce de Leon field. Ben is good guard material. Ben is 21 years of age and weighs 175 in his unmentionables. Oscar C. Walton is one of Oglethorpe's best known athletes. "Battle Ax." as he is affectionately known by his comrades, played in the line during the seasons of '19 and "20. and although he did not make his letter during the past season, he played in six of the most important games. "Battle" is 21 years old. weighs 190. and calls Atlanta home. Ij^MACg^jl The "O" Club Clifford Sims President LuciEN W. Hope Vice-President Marquis F. Calmes Secretary and Treasurer B. Adams J. H.

Anderson Here is a man, known and loved by the entire student body, who has coached the Petrels since the day Oglethorpe University opened its doors. He has coached every team that Oglethorpe has ever put out. besides holding down the office of Registrar. When it comes to baseball, Frank Anderson is recognized throughout this section as one of the very best in our opinion, he ranks second to none and has certainly done his bit towards making baseball a success at Oglethorpe. Captain Roy Carlyle Last year, 1919-1920, a Freshman blew into Ogle- thorpe and from his size, it looked as if he could buck any football line in the country, but he waited until baseball season to show what he could do. He easily made a berth in the outer garden, and at the close of the season it was found that he had led his team-mates at the bat. his average being .415. He displayed his ability so well that at the close of the season he was chosen by his team-mates to be their leader in 1920-1921, and under his capable direction, the Petrels have had the most successful season of their short existence in the athletic world. Manager Joel H. Price This is our famous "All-Time. Ail-American gridiron-diamond manager" that you have heard so much about "Daddy" Price. "Dad" has proved bis ability so well he can manage anything from a co-operative store on up to a university that he was elected baseball and football manager for 1920- 1921. He has performed these duties to a queen's taste. '"Daddy" graduates this year, and it is very- doubtful if there will be a man who can fill his slioes and perform the tasks" he has done, in many, manv vears to come. s^ P;^^AC^^J Captain Roy ("Dizzy") Carlyle was such a good baseball player that after his first year on the team his mates chose him to lead them, so great was their confidence in him and in his ability. Roy is a little wonder on fielding but when it comes to swinging a bat he uses his great strength to good advantage, often getting three-baggers and once in a while driving out a circuit drive. r^^- Jules Price is playing his third season with the Petrels and is a mighty handy young man to have around the camp. Jules is generally used as utility and can fill almost any position but he does his best work at short and second base. inx ctzh 'mf*^ This is Thomas Jones. Doesn"t he look like a big leaguer? In spite of the fact that he is just a Freshman he is showing the goods and before his career is ended as a Petrel he should be known as one of the hardest hitting outfielders in this section. Ed David, the Freshman wonder on last season's grid squad, is also one of our best bets on the base- ball squad. Ed looks mighty good at left field and when he steps up to the bat he generally gets a good hit and knows how to run the bases. *:^-: 3 <- i;^@ACg^^ t < - sis' '^^ 1 "-^ ^ ^<''T' tea 'hf-xM L. N. C'Big Chief I Turk hurls his last game for the Petrel nine this season; the question natur- ally follows, "Who"ll take his place on the mound?" At present we feel very sure that it will be many a moon before Oglethorpe will be fortunate enough to secure another pitcher as dependable as Turk. Besides being one of the best pitchers who has ever made all-southern, Turk is one of the best students who ever entered a college. Turk takes his M.A. degree this year. Lucien Hope will be lost by graduation this year,, and, like his mate. Turk, he will be missed more than words can express, for he is undoubtedly the best catcher who has performed on a southern col- lege team in many years. Lucien was with our first team but when the war began he went to France and after doing his bit he returned to his old Alma Mater. As our esteemed contemporary. H. C. Witwer, of Collier's Weekly, says, it was a case of '"From Baseball to Boches" with a return to baseball added. Good luck, Lucien. John ("Foxy") Knox, our famous little halfback during football season, is also one of the main cogs in our baseball machine. John played first base last season but Coach Anderson shifted him to second and to the outfield this year. John is a consistent man, always fielding well and ever ready to give the apple a long drive. Oscar ("Battle Axe") Walton seems to have the position of third sacker cinched as long as he is willing to play it. Besides being a good fielder and dependable batsman. Oscar keeps the whole team in tune by his encouraging line of talk during a game. fe^S^cg^jl m "Brindle" Thaxton showed promise of making the football team last season, but he sustained a broken shoulder which ended it all. But by baseball sea- son his shoulder had healed. Thaxton looks mighty good in the outfield and shows promise of being one of our heaviest hitters. ".Take" Morris created a sensation in the prep league last season by his brilliant work on the mound for Boys' High. It looks like he will be quite a sensation in college circles after another sea- son's work under the Petrel banner, for he is hurl- ing unusually good college ball already. Frank Simpson is so large that it seems he would make an excellent backstop. But on the contrary be is first baseman and plays his position perfectly. We'll never have another first baseman who can hold down this job better than Frank. Besides be- ing a good first sacker, Frank can step in and play the catcher's position as well as the best of them. Frank caught through a season on Georgia's varsity before coming to Oglethorpe. Frank will be missed next season, for he also graduates this year. f , *^-., Clifford ("Kid") Sims was the star hurler of the Petrel nine way back in '17 but soon after the sea- son was over, be answered the call of his country and served eighteen months in France. After being discharged, he again entered Oglethorpe, and was a star performer in the outer gardens. This season the '"ole man" seems to have gotten his batting eye in perfect condition and is the most dependable and brainiest lead-off man on the Petrel squad. Lamar ("Rabbi") Cooper is little brother to one of the best tackles who ever played on our football team. But it seems that size doesn't keep a man from being a good baseballer. for "Rabbi" is play- ing his second season as a varsity man. "Rabbi"' generally holds down second base and covers his ground like a spring chicken, in spite of the fact that he appears to be growing bald. ii -^- 1 ^ Herman Hafele ("Hack") is another Freshman wonder, for he just stepped right into the camp, announced that he would play short-stop and pro- ceeded to do so in grand style. Hafele has already shown that he is a good short-stop and will in time to come make one of the best we"ve ever had. He can bat as well as he can play his position, so that's 'nuff said. It 4- Ford Little pitched some mighty good games for us last year and it looks like he will do even better this season. Of course he hasn't made the record that some of the star twirlers have made but he is dependable and is learning right along. Ford has two more years on our staff so it seems likely that he will yet fan out his share of opponents. Wurley Adams breezed in rather late from Nor- cross. but in spite of his lateness he showed us that he has the stuff of a good pitcher. Adams, now a Freshman, has shown up so well that it is quite likely that he will twirl his share of this sea- son's games. iZi^-*.jt * ^ ~* ADS- JOKES OP Who's Who at Oglethorpe The Biggest Ladies^ Man Ed David The Biggest Woman Hater Lester McClung The Biggest Eater Oscar Walton Biggest Bum BoYER WiLLCOX The Biggest Liar "Monkey" Reeves The Biggest Bone-Head Tom Bartenfield The Biggest Baby Bob Nicholes The Biggest Grouch RoY CoNlNE The Most Conceited Ed Watkins The Most Bashful Clifford Sims The Most Talkative Frank Simpson The Most Sarcastic Clarence Hill The Most Literary Johnny Knox The Most Serious Murray Copeland The Most Modest Newton Turk The Most Ambitious "Jock" Hood The Most Accommodating Harold Trimble The Most Accomp'.ishhed Powell Moye The Most Studious Murray Copeland The Most Dignified Newton Turk The Laziest Johnny Knox The Wittiest Iverson Pharr The Tightest Boyer Willcox The Neatest Joel Price The Cutest George Talley The Biggest Mexican Athlete Frank Sims The Biggest Booster JoEL Price The Best Dancer "Jug" Brown The Handsomest RoY Carlyle The Most Polite ....

He: "Let's talk." A little kissing now and then Is why we have the married men; A little kissing, too, of course. Is why we have the quick divorce. A little kissing On the sly Is better then, than by and by; A little kiss brings a world of joy To the maid who's kissed by an Oglethorpe boy. * * * Dr. Nick: "Socrates is the father of Ethics " Voice in rear: "The Son of a Gun. * * * Two girls were talking to each other about their school days.

To the stars that rose from a battlefield'' s haze. Well, fill up your glasses and drink to my toast: Here's a toast to the army, a toast to the host, A toast to the steel that is worn and rusted, A toast to the jeivel, which fate has encrusted It's only a drink to the forgotten, the dub Here's a toast to His Honor, His Honor: The Scrub. It's only a toast to the shadows no more You never will see them it's a terrible bore Watching them struggle in snow and in rain. Bleeding and fighting for a Varsity's name. You say that your heroes struggle as well? Yes, they get the honor; the Scrub gets the Hell! He's only a shadoiv it's all in the game. And the butterfly you see in the gold of the flame It's only a drink to the forgotten, the dub Here's a toast to His Honor, His Honor: The Scrub. To Examinations Examinations awe-inspiring name! Thou word of dreadful omen and portent; Unknown to song but not unknown to fame. Since with thy meaning words like "fail" are blent. Thy form looms up before us in our dreams. Thy spectre haunts us in our waking hours; Thou art a fearful Nemesis, it seems, Who never speaks, but laughs; ne'er looks, but lowers. Oh, would thou ivouldst thy rigor mitigate! 'Twould save full many a sigh, and sob, and groan. But 'till thou dost, we can but stand and wait, While round us still thy hapless victims moan! The Growth of an Idea An idea is a seed which flowers into beautiful jierfection only when every ele- ment required in the soil of its production is present, and the hands which nurture it are sh'lled for the peculiar task which they are to perform. J^o matter how original the ^lan u^on which the annual is constructed, how artistic the designs, how brilliant the read- ing matter, the final success defends u^on the visualization of these ideas in such a way that the printed book is the living em- bodiment of the spiritual conception. A j^erfectly equi^^ed factory, together with thirty-four years of sym;f)athetic co- o;f>eration with many annual staffs, should, we believe, fit us for the worh of combining our mechanical skill with the editors' ideas to produce the highest qual- ity of college annual.
