Twenty a Classes Tke Opportunity of Tke Lowry Sckool of Banking and. Commerce By Oscar Wells Presideni American Bankers Association No greater demand confronts American education today tlian that it apply an increasing part of its effort to develop- ing more exact understanding and a more scientific training and attitude among those who intend to devote themselves to business careers, whether on the finianical or on the com- mercial side. The intellectual requirements of business are fast rising in all directions to the Lowry School of Banking and Commerce to meet one of the great needs of the day, to jjerform great services not onlj- to those fortunate enough to participate in its courses but also to the general public, are immeasureable. It has been said that the distinguishing element of a profession are that it re- quires special training and the possession of demonstrated ability as pre-requis- ites to admission to its ranks, that all its members observe certain high and es- tablished standards in carrying on their work and that they constantly en- deavor to attain ever higher ideals and standards of service. In banking and commerce, consciously and unconsciously, these very elements are daily loom- ing larger and are giving business to an increasing degree the aspects of a profession. It is essential that into this development the best academic spirit be brought and developed along the lines of pi-actical success in the country's business activities. The Lowry School is therefore a sign of the progress and the aspirations of American business toda.v. Tiventy-Tivo TKe Opportunity of Tke Lowry Sckool of Banking idC ommerce By J. H.

He came to ^^^ ^M Atlanta just before the Civil "War and with his father es- ^HHr^ ., ^M tablished a wholesale grocery business known as W. M. & R. ^^HNI^j^H -T. Lowry, which evolved into a private bank, and later into ^Biv^^H THE LOWRY NATIOAL BANK, nationally known. ^^Kek^^^^M Altliough universall.y successful Colonel Lowry having been president of the AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIA- TION, the most powerful body of financiers in the world he realized the ad- vantages that special training would afford in the field of banking and com- merce and was largely instrumental in the establishment of the AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF BANKING which affords an opportunity for special study to young bank clerks. It was with the idea that the youth of the South- desiring training of this kind, might be afforded, at home, an opportimity to fit themselves for the busi- ness of banking and commerce, thatMrs Emma Markham Lowrj^ his widow, left a bequest for the establishment of the THE ROBERT J. AND EMMA MARKHAM LOWRY SCHOOL OP BANKING AND COMMERCE at Ogle- thorpe University. It is intended the the curriculum of such a school shall furnish a foundation in English, Geographj^ Mathematices, Economics and Accounting, and a course in Business Law. It will be readily seen what advantage a specialized course of this kind will be to the yoimg banker and business man and what a fitting memorial to the donors. Tiuenty-Three Tke Opportunity of Tke Low^ry Sckool of Banking and. Commerce By Charles E. Mitchell Presidciii of Natinnal City Bank- New York City I have a great reverence for that great banker of the South, Colonel Robert J. Lowery, who, in addition to his duties devoted a quarter century to the upbuilding of the American Bankers' Association, and for his wife, Emma ilarkham Lowry, who, upon her death, bequeathed her all for the establishment of this school of banking and com- merce. It is always a problem in a large industrial plant or bank- ing institution to give to the specialized worker a proper un- derstanding of the business as a whole and the relativity of the part played by his OAvn work. The necessar3' specialization leads to a cer- tain narrowness of view that is pitiful for all. The simplest remedy for this state of confusion would seem to be to give all power to some overhead author- ity, but this plan would never succeed. The only way is the education of the people to a better understanding of the voluntary system by which we work together to satisf.y our wants. We cannot abandon the voluntary sjstem. There is a great need for these schools in which commerce, industry and the various features of bu.siness are the special subjects of study. Knowing as I do the importance which the founder of this school, Colonel Lowry, attached to a sound banking and currencj' sj'stem. I do not doubt that the desire to estab- lish a permanent source of wholesome influence upon this subject was one of the dominant motives of this benefaction. Ticenfy-Fonr ^^ TKe Opportunity of Tke Lowry Sckool of Banking iJG ommerce By John K. Ottley ident of Fourth National Bank The opportuuity of THE LOWRY SCHOOL OF BANK- ING AND COMMERCE is as boundless as the vision and spirit of the great souls who made it possible, and the fulfil- ment of this opportunity will sound the faith, courage and zeal of everyone uiiou whom is laid any responsibility touch- ^^^X' J^Bj It has the opportvuiity to serve the interests of tlie world ^K^Sj/B^ by becoming a spring from which will flow tlie pure clear ^^I^^^^^H knowledge of economic principles so vital to human welfare ' and advancement. A tremendous handicap to humanity today, individually and collectively, is the widespread lack of this knowledge ; the highest hope for peace, prosperity and true betterment lies in the dissemina- tion of those principles, which are universal in scope and applicable alike to in- dividuals, institutions, peoples and nations. It has the opportunity to broaden the lives of the students it will enroll, and to open the doors of opportunity wider to them; to fashion of them the leader- ship of which the vast and complex modern organization stands in such crying need ; and to make of them the instruments for the further spreading of tlie school's far-reaching influence. It has the opportuuity to lift the ideals and broaden the visions of our gen- eration ad generations to come by perpetuating the memory and emblazoning the example of the great man and Avoman to whom we owe the school's exist- ence Colonel Robert J. Lowry and Mrs. Emma Markham Lowry. The embod- iment of the noblest and best in manhood and womanhood, adorning our citi- zenship and our business life, they have set a pattern, not merely in the magni- ficent gift out of which this school is born, but in their fruitful lives of service and purpose and accomplishment, to impress which upon countless multitudes tlirough untold years is the priceless heritage and peculiar privilege of the Lowrv School of Banking and Commerce.

Broadhust had a reputation for being lazy at Oglethorpe. This was shown by his winning the place as the laziest student on the campus in the AVho's Who contest for two consective times, but he lacked a lot of having a monoply on laziness. Those who know him best also know that he was one of the most clever students at the University and was blessed with an unusual amount of common sense.

Nellie Martin Norcro.ss. Ga. A.B. EDUCATION Zeta Tau "As ivelcome as sunshine in every place So we welcome the sunshine of her beautiful face." In Nelle one recognizes a wonderful com- bination of personality and charm. Since coming to Oglethorpe she has made a niche for herself both as student and as "the cam- pus belle" the freshman can't resist her eyes for very long. It's hard to find a more faithful worker than she, even when pleas- ure calls. Oglethorpe will have a hard time proper tilling the gap left when Nelle grad- uates, and to her we are sure, will open the gates to happiness and love. Walter Lee .Morris Atla A.B. EDUCATION "What is best today cannot fail to bring the best results tomorrow." Walter Lee loves the class of '26 so much that, after being absent from year, he doubled up on his work and went to Summer School in order to graduate with us. Walter is a shark at History, and has taken every course offered in it. He is a true friend and a noble fellow, who has won a warm place in the hearts of all who have known him. Morris has been a very quiet worker at the University, and has made numerous friends. Morris has not decided definitely what he will do, but it is thought that he will teach History, and if he does he is sure to make a success.

Dixie is a veritable "glo chaser" She believes in minimizing ti'ouble, and is strong advocate of saying "a smile will go a long, long way." But from a re- cent discovery, we are able to announce that .somewhere behind the giggles, smiling eyes, and joking words, Dixie's brain is concealed. It is hard to find such a rare combination of a girl and a student. ^^ ^ ^^!^ Mary Bell Nichols Allanta, Ga. A.B.

During his four years stay at Oglethorpe, he has proven one of the best shortstops that ever won a Stormy Petrel uniform. To read this, one has the impression that Harle did nothing but play baseball, but although lie did play superb baseball, he also was the same type of student.

After finishing University School for Boys in 1922 he decided to enter Tech. which he did, but the next year he attended the University of North Carolina and from there he came to Oglethorpe in 1924. There is not a student at the University but wishes he had come to Oglethorpe first. ikii -Mary Elizabeth Watkins Atlanta, Ga. A.B.

He is a booster for everything he belongs to from his home town up. To hear "Coonie" talk, you at once know that Union, S.

In some things his arguments are rather forceful. f ^ Senior Class History "There is Nothing Permanent Except Change." The joys of life are many its privileges great its pleasures manifold and intense; yet even throughout all of its happiest hours and most hilarious rejoicing, comes to the thinking mind, the sad and certain wail, ''This too, shall pass away!" We cannot escape from this inevitable fate, no matter how earnestly we may endeavor so to do for all things human are mortal. Since entering Oglethorpe as Freshmen in the fall of 1922 we too have under- gone spiritual, intellectual, physical, and numerical changes until we have at last reached the goal of Seniors. So we are Seniors. Let us now take a retrospective view of our achievements, both individ- ually and collectively, during our college career. As Freshmen we were not the largest class to enter Oglethorpe, yet according to Dr. James Routh, we were the most intelligent looking class that ever trod the campus. The Soph- omores, however, lost no time in impressing our freshness upon us. We were soon represented in every phase of college activity. We con- tributed able members to the debating team, players club, orchestra, football, baseball, co-ed basketball, and tennis teams. Our tennis team composed of Brewer and Ingram won the championship for the 1923 season. As a class we took the initiative and abolished the time-worn custom of hazing in all forms, together with the obnoxious "rat court." During our Sophomore year we abided by our legislation true to form, with the excep- tion of one memorable night in which we attempted to exercise authority over the Freshmen. But alas to our dismay! We were outnumbered three to one and the outcome of the battle that ensued is too well known and needs no repetition, for it could easily be guessed. Our debating team of 1924-25, composed of Bishop, Orovitz, and Jor- dan, all members of the class, accomplished the most outstanding feat of the year by defeating the teams of Sewanee, Maryland and Dahlonega. We were represented in the Players Club by Corliss, Comwell, Elder, Gay, Goldring, Holcomb, Jordan, Robert Jackson, Nichols and Wimbish. Those taking major parts were: Elder, Holcomb, Jordan, Robert Jackson, and Nichols. Corliss rendered invaluable aid to the club in his untiring ef- forts as stage manager for three years. Two of the three Spring plays of 1924 were written by class members, ''Seeing God," by Gladys Hurtell. and "Set for Midnight," by Harden and Cornwell; while the music for the third play was composed by Thelma Doyal. Fifty In both of the S. I. A. A. championship football teams, we were most ably represented by Corliss, Cooper, Nix, Parrish, and Perkerson. To our South- ern championship baseball team, we contributed Wall and Lindsay. During our Junior year we lost several of our most brilliant class mem- bers. Bagwell, Bentley, Bishop, Coles, Comwell, Ford, McCormack, Orovitz, and Wilkes entered the class of '25 by continuing their scholastic work through summer school sessions. Robert Jackson and Carl Sisk, two splen- did young members of our class, were unfortunately taken from our midst by the hand of death. Although seperated from our realm, yet their memo- ries shall remain dear to us always. Those making the coat-of-arms sweaters, which is the highest award for scholastic attainments that our Alma Mater can confer, were: Bentley, Cooper, Antilotti, and Nichols. Our members of honorary fraternities are: Corliss, Gay, J. L. Jackson, Lyon, and Vincent. The predominance of the class is evident by the number of leaders of student activities which have sprung from our ranks during this year. Du- Pree Jordan was president of the debating council; Leila Elder, president of the Alpha Kappa literary society and mother of the co-eds; Charles Cor- liss, president of the student body; Roy Lee, chairman of the student coun- cil; Corliss, president of the Players club; Mary Nichols, captain of the bas- ketball team; and Jordan, editor of The Yamacraw. Looking back at our college life, we cannot get away from the fact that it has been, to all of us, a source of blessings and rejoicings. We are not so puffed up with pride as to imagine that our class will occupy the highest place in tlie records of this university; still we have good reasons to believe that we have struggled perseveringly and bravely. And we trust that the ending of "this, our lesson," will be the beginning of another life that will enable us to build upon the foundations laid while students of Oglethorpe. "Our task is done, our song hath ceased, our theme Has died into an echo; it is fit The spell should break of this protracted dream. The torch shall be extinguish' d which hath lit Our midnight lamp and what is writ, is writ; Would it ivere worthier! but we are not now That which we have been and our visions flit Less palpably before us and the glow Which in our spirit dwelt is fluttering, faint, and low. Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been A sound which makes us linger; yet farewell!" Will A. Lee, Historian.

Gone into the night of the nevermore. And darkness I'ests where you shed for us Alight we will miss for evermore. Faces! ye come in the night to us; Shadows! ye float in the sky of sleep; Shadoivs! ye bring nothing bright to us; Faces! ye are but the sight of sleep. Gone! and there's not a gleam of you. Faces that float into the far aivay; Gone! and we only can dream of you 'Till ive sink like you and the stars away. -S. M. A. Fifty-Tivo a Junior Class OFFICERS Royal D.

Siga Chi Sixty Four Junior Class History Out of the one hundred and sixteen members of the Freshman Class of 1923 only 45 remain. As the gold is left after the panning so have these Jun- iors struggled through three years of their college career. The class is made up of boys and girls who can think for themselves. Their three years work in the various activities at Oglethorpe is a manifestation of their effort. The Class of '27 plays a big role in athletics at Oglethorpe. It's members represented in varsity football are: Hardin, Redfern, Justus, Campbell, Cousins, Carrol and Slayton. The class is represented on the first official basketball team by: Campbell, Cousins, and Chestnut. In baseball we have: Terrell, Cousins, Campbell, Justus, and Chestnut. In track the Junior Class has outstanding members in Barber, Boone, Captain '25; Burton, Captain '25; and Heath, Captain-Elect '27. lone Thompson represents the class in co-ed baskebtall. Our class is not only represented in athletics, but also in the academic activities. We have the following on the Petrel Staff: Duke Terrell, Editor- in-Chief; Kay Bosworth, Assistant Editor; and J. P. Nation, Business Mgr. Also are proud to have two members on this year's Yamacraw staff: George McMillan, Assistant Editor; and Luther Wright, Assistant Club Editor. On the debating team we have Bannister, Ginn and Edge. Of the three plays used by the Players Club last year and staged at the Atlanta Theatre, two were written by members of our class. They were Oliver Grambling and Josephine Eichberg. It is very interesting to note that about 20% of the Juniors are working their way through college. There is one member of the Class of '27 whom we should not forget, that is Ed Miles. He is an ideal student and man, organizer of Tri Mu Junior Sunday School, the first successful class at Oglethorpe. Ed puts his whole heart and soul into an undertaking and is deserving of the greatest praise. Next year we shall enter into the inheritance of the Senior life, and if the past is any key to the future the Class of '27 is destined to do it's bit for the Alma Mater.

In football we were represented on the varsity squad by: Andy Anderson, Hancock, King, Goldsmith, Garlington, Gordy, Guthrine, Grimes, Hutson, Perkins, Bob Shepherd, White, and Mosely. Those winning letters were: Goldsmith, Guthrine, Garlington, Gordy, Mosely, Perkins, Bob Shepherd, and Cliff White. Oglethorpe's first varsity basketball squad was made possible by: Gar- lington, Black, McKissicks, and York. The 1925 Freshman baseball team composed of: York, Garlington, Hutson, Hugh Buchanan, Minhinnett, Alton Allan, McKissicks, Earl Shep- herd, Boswell, Gilreath, Hancock, Anderson, and Wingo, played the lead- ing college Freshman and Prep School teams, and won fourteen of the nine- teen games played. The school spirit for the last two years was strengdiened by Cheer- leader Red Beuchler and 0. E. White as his assistant. On the co-ed basketball team we were represented by Evelyn Hol- lingsworth. In the movement for the establishment of the honor system in 1924, our class is to be commended for its rapid move to adopt and maintain this system, having pledged ourselves in a class meeting to uphold the standards that we believe necessary for the good of Oglethorpe. The able officers of our class this year are: John Glodsmith, president; Brant Boswell, vice-president; Bob Grimes, secretary and treasurer; and Roy Hancock, our representative on the Student Council. In journalistic work. Homer Gramling served as temporary editor-in- chief of the Petrel, being assisted by Wayne Trayer and Frank Gordy. In the business department we have Roy Hancock and Red Beuchler. In the 1924-25 Yamacraw staff "Baby" Spencer and W. F. Underwood are on the Art staff. In the South's best college orchestra we had: Paul Landen and W. F. Underwood. Action, showing the initiative of the Sophomore class was demonstrated by the baldheads of this year's Freshman class.

The Sophomores, victims of the previous year, were ever ready to extend to us a welcome and to carefully explain the traditions of the University. The first day we swarmed to the Co-Op to purchase our Freshman caps. Much to the dismay of the excited Freshmen, hair clippers were brought into play by the Sophs, and within the first three days after the opening of the school doors, we were minus out patent leather hair. After the first two weeks of the school term, we gathered in the chapel, and with several Sophomores taking charge of affairs, elected officers of the class. Heyward M. Thompson was elected president; Odel Andrews, vice- president; and Clark Taliferro, secretary and treasurer. The Sophomores were offered a real treat by our class during the early part of the first term when we presented a minstrel in Chapel, entertaining a packed house for more than an hour. The show was entirely original and was successfully staged only through the untiring efforts of the cast of more than fifteen Freshmen. Our athletes, whom we hope to witness in action in varsity uniforms within the next two years, established a wonderful record for Oglethorpe in football and basketball. In the two sports the frosh attracted attention throughout the South. The footballl team, captained by Jake Malsby, wended through an eight- game schedule, winning four contests, losing two and tying the score in the remaining two games. A total of 140 points were piled up against 40 for the opposition. Our basketball five, the first to represent a Freshman class, fared well on the court, and made a record that will long be remembered. The season was completed without a single defeat. Undoubtedly we have the biggest array of outstanding college specimens of any institution, and if we remain banded together with the same Petrel spirit prevailing, the class of 1929 will step out into this world to bring fame and honor to the principles and teachings of Oglethorpe University.

"Chuck" could always be relied upon to give a good account of himself, and his departure this year is a real loss to the school. CHARLES CORLESS Alternate Captain and Tackle "Bob" is the smashing, crashing type of fullback that the fans enjoy so much. He was handicaped this season by having to contest with captain Kilgore for a place, but now that Kilgore has finished his career, it is largeljr upon "Sheps" capable shoulders that the plunging work will fall. He should spring into the prominence next year that he almost obtained this vear. ROBERT SHEPPARD Fullback p E L>eneral choice for ALL-S. I. A. A. honors. Marvin was also a very popular boy in school. His departure this year is the cause of many regrets. "Ike", distinguished for his versatility as a lineman, rallied to the aid of his team in the midst of the season by amplj- filling the center position which was left vacant y the departure of Clay Parrish. At this juncture, we are marching steadily to a second champ- ionship and the vacancy of the position plac- ed Oglethorpe in the throes of disappoint- ment. But "Ike" injected a feeling of con- fidence bj' substituting and playing a brand of ball equal to the ability of Parrish. "Ike" has one more year to play for the Gold and Black. And he is expected to better his per- formances fo the past years. 'IKE"' COUSINS Center BILL PERKINS Tackle "Bill" came to Oglethorpe in 192-4 from Tech High School as a thorough student of football as well as classics. And he further- ed the reputation by exceptional perform- ing as a member of the Frosh eleven. Again this year "Bill" forged to the front, winning the coveted "0" as member of the varsity- squad. He is a member of the array of Soph- omores who won places on the squad. "Bill" is a tower of strenght and a player of mark- ed ability behind his muscular development. Before the end of his career, Oglethorpe is sure to be blessed with a second line demon of the Parrish caliber. Eighty Nine w ^ LOUIS MOSELEY End Louis started out ou the freshmau team as a center, but he was used on the varsity as both a tackle and an end, which shows some- thing of his versatility. Louis is tall, strong, and fast, an ideal combination for almost anj- place in the line and he has shown his worth at nearly ever.y one. He should have his best year next season. Frank was another one of the disting- uished Sophomores to land a berth on the squard via stellar football. He displayed his wares as a defensive player- winning the commendation of many Petrel enthusiasts as lineman of the first water. Frank came to Oglethorpe from Columbus High School, captaining the team of that school in 1922. In his freshman year he participated in only a few games diie to a seriously injured leg, procuring the hurt early in the season. FRANK GORDY Tackle Willie Taylor 0. E. White Ch\rles Beuchler Ninety 3 i Football Review^ S.I.A.A. CHAMPIONS Under the leadership of Coach Harry Robertson the Oglethorpe football team fought its way to a second successive S. I. A. A. championship, in spite of the fact that it lost its captain, Clay Parrish, and its tackle, "Lint" Cooper, in the middle of the season. The first game, was with Tech. Greatly outweighed, they were forced steadi- ly back during the early stages of the game, and it looked for a time like a walk-away for the Jackets. But with the score 13 to against them the gallant Petrels began again to fight. Every heavy onslaught of the more powerful team was met with a spirit of desperate effort that would not be denied, and Tech's scoring was fiinished. Toward the end of the game, successive runs by Maurer and Walsh placed the Petrels in the scoring zone, then Maurer flipped a pass to Campbell who swept out wide, and the little quarterback scampered across the line. The goal was kicked' and the score stood, Tech, 13 Oglethorpe, 7, at the final whistle. Howard College, in Birmingham was next. Early in the game Bancroft, Howard quarter, slipped through for a score. Howard took the lead, 6 to 0, and began then to play inspired football. The efforts of the Petrels to score were in vain, but late in the second half Adian Maurer was rushed into the line- up. Immediatly he began one of his sensational marches down the field which culminated in a beautiful zigzag run of 57 yards for a touchdown. Goal was kicked by Campbell and the game was won 7 to 6. The biggest surprise of the season came in the Centre contest, when the Pet- rels walked over them for a 20 to shutout. The whole team played brilliantly. Next came the heavy Fort Benning soldiers, one of the best teams in the coun- try, who trampled the Petrels, 27 to 7. Wofford sprang a supprise by holding the Petrels to a 13 to 7 score, also leading them 7 to 6 until late in the game when brilliant runs bj' the incomparable Maurer resulted in the winning touch- down. The Citadel was next, and here the Petrels annexed a 7 to victory. The trip to Clinton for the game with Presbyterian College brought a few hours fear for the hopes, as they held the lead on the Petrels until the last few minutes of play when a field goal by Campbell overcame their lead and won for Ogle- thorpe, 17 to 16. Then the big game with Mercer, when the Petrels met their only S. I. A. A. defeat, 21 to 6. The Bears outplayed them, but the Petrel's team of that day was not one that so easily defeated Centre. The Thanksgiving game at Chattanooga was another thriller in which the Petrels had difficulty in gaining a victorious verdict, amoimting to 6 to 3. It was again the splendid \vork of Maurer that made victory possible. The post season game with Rollins College in Miami proved easy, and the team played the best ball of the season on a muddy field. The Petrels won, 13 to 0.

In spite of this, however, Coach Harry was able with the fine material of- fered him to mold a very worthy team. Not many games could be sclieduled, because wIk finally got their court ready for work, all the (itlici completed, or nearly completed, thcii' schcilidcs. 'I'w obtained with Mercer- the perenniMi ;iiid ajic-uhl rival In the first, the Bears, with one of their usual stcrliii: ed the verdict by a 37 to 24 count, and at this writii had not been played. The Petrels were deter even the count on their home court. Another S. I. A. A. team to be played, was the University of Chattanooga, and once again the Petrels were forced to bow to the superior training of a team whose season was unhampered, and the Chattanooga boys edged out in the lead, 26 to 21. They knew though at the finish of the contest that they had met a real basketball team, and they so expressed themselves. Because of the incomplete season, and the great number of handicaps under which the first Petrel team labored, not much can be said of them, but with a freshman team on hand which de- feated this j^ear's varsity, the prospects for 1927 are bright indeed. Coach Harr.v has already promised that he will again be on hand, and this assures the Petrel of one of the best mentors' and some of the best material in the South. Ninclu Five 3 Ji ^^ Fresh reshman Basketbi The Oglethorpe Freshman basketball was the best ever put out at the Petrel institution, and won for itself an undisputed claim to the state title, and a record as good perhaps as that of any other first year club in the Southeast. In the thirteen games played, they scored a total of 524 points to 290 for their opponents. Besides the strong prep teams of the state that were defeated by the Petrel yearlings, wins were annexed over the rats of Georgia Tech, Georgia and Mercer. The only loss of the season was to the Georgia rats in Athens, a close hardfought game there ending, 34 to 30 against the Petrels. A sweet revenge was won though, when the Bullpups came to Oglethorpe for a return game, and the Oglethorpe boys trounc- ed them decisively, 54 to 45. Tech, ancient rivals of Oglethorpe, was twice defeated, 25 to 14, and 39 to 19. This, alone would have made a successful season so far as a lot of Oglethorpe freshmen are concerned. The personel of the team was Captain Jack Massey, Earnest Sheridan, "Bo" Slater, Bill Moore, and Joe Fine, forwards; Floyd Bass, center; and John Bell, Hey wood Clements, and Bill Taylor, guards The team was coached through its very successful season_ by George Hardin, Oglethorpe football star, who proved very efficient in his first year as a mentor. A great varsity is expected next year with the addition to those eligible of these fine men. Ninety Six > ; ,..

"Buck" is going to pitch in 1926 and it is upon him that the hopes of the Coach largely rest. CHARLIE FERGUSON Pitcher Charlie was another infielder who, upon short notice, was converted into a twirler. This proved a wise move. Charlie did yoe- man service on the mound all season, and rid himself of several corking good games which prevented Willis and Barbee from being overworked. !f!fi^^P One Hundred-Two 3 Baseball 1925 Ross Kemp Captain Miller Hamrick Manager Frank Anderson Coach Parrish First Base Partridge Second Base Maurer Third Base Wall Shortstop Kemp Left Field Barton Center Field Terrell Right Field Porter Catcher Willis Pitcher Barbee Pitcher Cousins Outfield Buchanan Infield Lindsey First Base Ferguson Pitcher ethorpe ethorpe ethorpe ethorpe ethorpe ethorpe ethorpe ethorpe ethorpe ethorpe 10 ethorpe 9 ethorpe 7 ethorpe 4 ethorpe 14 ethorpe 7 ethorpe 6 ethorpe 10 ethorpe 1 ethorpe 8 ethorpe 7 ethorpe 12 ethorpe 8 ethorpe 8 ethorpe 4 ethorpe 3 Ohio State 13 Ohio tate 7 Dartmouth 4 Dartmouth 6 Indiana 1 Benning Benning Howard 2 Howard 3 Vanderbilt Vanderbilt 5 Georgia Tech 8 Georgia Tech 1 Mercer 7 Mercer 6 Mercer 4 Mercer 11 Vanderbilt 11 Vanderbilt 11 Union Union 3 Howard 1 Howard 1 Georgia 1 Georgia 1 One Hundred-Three ST Basetall Revie\^ Dixie Ck ampions From the opening of the 1925 season with a fine victory over the strong Ohio State nine a slugging- match that ended 14 to 13 to the equally fine victory over the Georgia in the final contest of the season, Oglethorpe played the brand of ball which has made her nines famous through out the country. To Coach Anderson must go a lot of credit, but it is also true that he had a set of real baseballers with which to work. To turn out two championshop nines in successive years at a school that is hardly a dozen years old, speaks eloquentlj^ of his ability. Although the 1925 title was in a muddle because no team came through with a clean slate, Oglethorpe cehtainly had as good a claim as any one else. The season started with Ohio State. The first game Oglethorpe Avon, 14 to 13' but in the second the northerners were victorious, 7 to 5. Then Dartmouth took the only series the Petrels lost, in two straight victories of 4 to 3 and 6 to 0. Indiana was next, and in the only game between them the Petrels gained the verdict, 2 to 1. This was followed by a loss to Fort Benning, 9 to 6, but the Stormy Birds came back on the next day and wolloped the soldiers to the tune of 9 to 0. Then Howard College fell victim to the Peachtree Road sluggers in two straight games by the large scores of 11 to 12, and 12 to 3. The following week Vaudy came to Oglethorpe and was badly treated on both days. The Petrels Avinning 10 to 0, and 9 to 5. And then the big game Avith Tech ! In the first, a real thriller, Tech Avas finally the victor, 8 to 7. With "Lefty" Willis in the box the next day the Pet- rels Avon SAveet revenge by beating them 4 to 1. Four games Avith Merce re- sulted in the Petrels taking three by scores of 14 to 7, 7 to 6 and 6 to 4; and los- ing one, 11 to 10, after runing up a big lead in the early stages of the game. The journey to Vanderbilt proved disastrous as Vandy took them both, 11 to 1 and 11 to 8. Apparently maddened by this the Petrels jumped on Union the folloAving tAvo days and pasted them tAvicc 7 to and 12 to 3. HoAvard Avas again beaten tAvice, and strangely enough by the same score in both games 8 to 1. The Avind up of the season, and the crucial tests so far as the Petrels Avere concerned, came in the tAvo contests Avith the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens. On the first day, Avith the invincible "Lefty" Willis the boys Avon 4 to 1. And to round out the good season in proper style Dave Barbee on the next day forgot his ailments and turned the Georgia boys back by 3 to 1. Although the entire squad played good ball, the outstanding men of the season Avere Willis, Terrell- Parish, Partridge, Wall and Porter.

One Hundred-Five Tke Cross Country Revle^\^ Oglethorpe also possessed in '25-26 its most successful cross-country team, and this in spite of the great lack of pro- per facilities. Under the leadership of Coach William Shands, and Cap- tain William Burton, the candidates who responded to the in- tial call molded themselves into a formidable aggreration. In the tr.y-outs held on the Oglethorpe campus, Herbert Libby came through in the lead and won for himself a varsity letter. Running second and third, respectivelj', were Ralph Heath and Captain Burton. The first meet held in Macon, between the halves of the Mercer-Furman football game. The only man of Oglethorpe to place in this meet was Earl Shepherd- who came in third. Running as they were, on a course entirely new to them, and after a hard trip down there, the Petrels did as well as could reasonabl}' be expected. The second meet, a return with Mercer, was also lost with Earl Shepherd again placing third, and again being the only Petrel to show. Several practice meets were held to round out the season, and the prospects for next year, with every man returning, are usually good. Ralph Heath was elected to Captain the '26-27 squad. Now that the sport is tirmly established at Oglethorpe more representative meets will be arranged for the coming season.
