Then place no carven stone To watch my eternal bed, I long to lie alone When I am dead. When I have had my day Of mortal loves and care, The rose from my decay May blossom there. Then I shall give the sod Return for life's pale star A rose is closer God Than angels are [Editor's Note This poem, written by Mr. Hurtsock, is strangely prophetic of the author's sudden untimely death] EKNEST HARTSOCK May 5, 1903 ^# Dedication A modern poet sings of one who cannot die, for loveliness Is an eternal thing. So shall the two friends of Oglethorpe Univer- sity, to whom this issue of the Yamacraw is grate- fully and affectionately dedicated, Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton of Chattanooga, survive the centuries because of the beauty which they have created and have bestowed upon future generations to be their inheritance forever. Because of these two beloved and honored friends, an Institution of learning, built upon the lofty ideals of the great leader who founded the Commonwealth of Georgia, is enabled to extend its sphere of usefulness, and to look forward to a fu- ture of increased service and achievement. So always shall the achievements of Oglethorpe's mcst illustrious alumni embody something of the great vision that abides in these two revered and beneficient friends, from whom the Lupton School of Liberal Arts derives its name. ^ Foreword Throughout all ages there has been some one person or group of persons who, possesced of a greater spirit of initiative than the rest, has gone ahead to hew out the path which his followers must take. On these valient ones, who have given un- stintedly of their all, we have bestowed the name of pioneers. Nowhere among the annals of this University can there be found the name of any two persons who have so typified the pioneer spirit as Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton, to whom this book is dedicated. Through their unselfishness Oglethorpe was given its start. Having this idea ever before us, we have chosen this theme of pioneers and have used the various pioneers to be found in American history as motifs for the division pages. Table of Contents I.

THE PRAYER OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Father of Wisdom, Master of the Schools of Men, of Thine all-knowledge grant me this my Prayer; that I MAY BE wise IN THEE. SiNK THOU MY FOUNDATIONS DOWN DEEP INTO THY BOSOM UNTIL THEY REST UPON THE VAST ROCK OF THY COUNSEL. LiFT THOU MY WALLS INTO THE CLEAR EMPYREAN OF THY TRUTH. CoVER ME WITH THE WINGS THAT SHADOW FROM ALL HARM. LAY MY THRESHOLD IN HONOR AND MY LINTELS IN LOVE. SET ThOU MY FLOORS IN THE CEMENT OF UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIP AND MAY MY WINDOWS BE TRANSPARENT WITH HONESTY. LEAD THOU UN- TO ME, Lord God, those whom Thou hast appointed to BE MY CHILDREN, AND WHEN THEY SHALL COME WHO WOULD LEARN OF ME THE WISDOM OF THE YEARS, LET THE CRIMSON OF MY WINDOWS GLOW WITH THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. LET THEM SEE, O MY LOED, HiM WHOM THOU HAST SHOWN ME; LET THEM HEAR HiM WHOSE VOICE HAS WHISPERED TO ME AND LET THEM REACH OUT THEIR HANDS AND TOUCH HiM Who HAS GENTLY LED ME UNTO THIS GOOD DAY. ROCK-RIB- BED MAY I STAND FOR ThY TrUTH. LeT THE STORMS OF EVIL BEAT ABOUT ME IN VAIN. MAY I SAFELY SHELTER THOSE WHO COME UNTO ME FROM THE WINDS O? ERROR. LET THE LIGHTNING THAT LIES IN THE CLOUD OF IGNORANCE BREAK UPON MY HEAD IN DESPAIR. MAY THE YOUNG AND THE PURE AND THE CLEAN-HEARTED PUT THEIR TRUST SECURELY IN ME NOR MAY ANY THAT EVER COME TO MY HALLS FOR GUIDANCE BE SENT ASTRAY. LET THE BLUE ASHLARS OF MY BREAST THRILL TO THE HAPPY SONGS OF THE TRUE-HEARTED AND MAY THE VERY HEART OF MY CAMPUS SHOUT FOR JOY AS IT FEELS THE TREAD OF THOSE WHO MARCH FOR GOD. ALL THIS I PrAY Thee; and yet this more: That there may be no stain UPON MY stones, forever.

Apparatus and material: 182 boys and girls registered at Oglethorpe University, Georgia, September 1927. Method and observation: Some 182 freshmen were put into solution. The actions and reactions of this human mass of chemical composition are recorded under (a), (b), (c), and (d). (a) A meeting of the class was held after breaking away from the superior soph- omores, temporarily. They quietly and sanely elected Clifford Pryor leader; Charles Tatum, Vice-President; Curley Fulton, Secretary and Claude Herrin, Treasurer. They began working vigorously, first with the traditional "Freshman Minstrel" and the Coed Tea. Then came football, baseball, basketball, the names: Al Church, Cur- ley Fulton, "Kid" Golden, Charlie McKissick, Clifford Pryor and Charles Tatum gave promise to be bright objects in the future. (b) The second year was quite active. The molecules were less in number, some had been precipitated out by the faculty and other agents. Glenn Bridges was elected leader; Robert Beasley, Vice-President; Claude Herrin, Secretary and Treasurer. The class contributed splendid material to the field of athletics. Herrin, Fulton, Riddle, Therrell, Holcombe, Kimbrell, Golden, Rabon, Church, Adams, Woodward, Brooks, Everett, and many others. The names of many of the class appeared on the rolls of the Glee Club, Petrel Fol- lies, Players Club and Orchestra. At this early age the importance of the class was beginning to be realized in that the names of Turk, McKissick, Bridges were found on the LeConte; Murray, Daven- port, Turk and Golden on the Alchemist rolls. On the Petrel staffs Hedges and Wood. The first women to be admitted to the debate council, Boardman and Murray. (cj Noted action continued in the third year of the experiment. The leader for this year was John Turk; Curley Fulton, Vice-President; Helen Boardman, Secretary and Treasurer. In athletics, football, Fulton, McKissick, Herrin, Woodward, Kratz, Golden, Adams; basketball, Herrin, Golden; baseball, Kimbrell, Holcombe, Rabon, Adams, Herrin; track, McKissick and Woodward; coed basketball, Murray, Boardman, Frost and Wyle. Gertrude Murray was the first coed to be elected Coed Mother in her Junior year. (d) The last part of this experiment which is nearing completion was started by electing John Turk, leader; Gertrude Murray, Vice-President; Allen Ritz, Secretary and Treasurer. The class has been filtered down to 37. Although a group small in number every particle is active. Charlie McKissick, captained the Stormy Petrels of 1930 to many victories. Herrin captained the baseball. This class is most distinguished in having Helen Boardman the first coed to edit the Yamacraw and the first coed editor of the South; Zaidee Ivey, the first coed to be valedictorian; D. H. Overton, head of intramural athletics, Paul Bacon, President of the Student Body and Salutatorian; Gertrude Murray, Coed Mother; Allan Ritz, Pres- ident of the Student Faculty Council; Elizabeth Merritt, President of the Coed Faculty Council; Claude Herrin, a three letter man. OG Zaidee Ivey, wearer of the Coat-of-Arms sweater, and John Turk are members of Phi Kappa Delta honorary scholastic fraternity. IVIembers of the class who held positions as instructors are: Helen Boardman, Harry Last, Thelma Brogdon, Charles McKissick, Martha Jean Osborne, Margaret Vardeman, Zelan Wills, Gertrude Murray, Frank Davenport and Willie Woodall. Wearers of the "O": Harold Adams, Al Church, Curley Fulton, Ernest Golden, Claude Herrin, Charles McKissick and Hoke Bell. Wearers of the "O. U." are: Ruth Frost, Helen Boardman, Gertrude Murray. On the LeConte Roll this year Frank Davenport, President; Turk, Harry Last, Ze- lan Wills. Discussion and conclusion: The class of '31 contains many priceless properties in its members whom this experiment proved have worked honestly, courageously, and conscientiously for their class in college. Active from the beginning, it was noticed that the action increased steadily as time went on. Although the class was a most successful experiment, only the high points have been recorded. It unquestionably proved the class of '31 to be a well balanced equation, bringing credit and honor to themselves, their class, faculty, and their Alma Mater. lORPE J u u nj o f> AW^ w Ji-u OGLETHORPE J History of the Junior Glass By Eugenia Patterson From 98 in 1929-30 to 49 in 1930-31 is, no doubt, another result of the well-known depression. At any rate, this is tne number to which the class of 1932 has shrunk. But of those who remain, we have many who have been outstanding during the whole of the history of this class. Ever since Freshman days, Parker Bryant, newly-elected captain of the Stormy Petrels of 1931, "Dapper" Myers, alternate captain, Frank Anderson, Jr., Chick Gard- ner, Paul Goldsmith and Lefty Sypert, have been shining on the gridiron. In Baseball, thanks to no efforts of its own, the class of 1932 has lasting distinction, for wherever the prowess of Luke Appling, Crackers 1930, White Sox 1931, is known every member of this class will remember that he once represented us on our 5's, 9's, and ll's, Oglethorpe's three major sports. But the class of '32 still has representation on the Petrel nine in Charlie Mitchell, first-string pitcher, Frank Anderson, Jr., regular second-baseman, Lefty Sypert, the Birds' only southpaw, and Parker Bryant, who holds down first base. Due to a change in the plan of intercollegiate athletics at Oglethorpe, the usual season of basket ball was replaced by a series of inter-fraternity contests. But here again the class of '32 had its place in the limelight, with John Hallman and JeiT McMillan being selected by the officials for the all-star team. Among the co-eds, Mar- garet Vardaman, Christine Bost, and Eugenia Patterson were judged worthy of a place on the Co-ed five. Betty Crandall and Ben Simpson appeared in the first Players Club production of the season, "The Coming of Peg," and both are now helping to make the Petrel Follies of 1931 the usual hit. Other Juniors appearing in the Follies are Jane Kops, Betty Greaves, Edith Marshall, Marie Shaw, who assists Ben Simpson as manager, and Eugenia Patterson. On the Debate Council we have Reavis O'Neal and William Higgins. The members of the Junior Class who have been pledged to Phi Kappa Delta are Mary Williamson, Marie Shaw, and Eugenia Patterson. In the recent Who's Who contest held on the campus, Betty Crandall was elected the most popular girl, and Mary Williamson, the most intellectual girl. Jeff McMillan is the leader of Oglethorpe's orchestra; other Juniors thus musically inclined are Ollie Nail, and Charlie Bourne. Reavis O'Neal, Park Brinson, and Kendall Jordan have been honored by election to Blue Key, Honorary Activity Fraternity. Other honors besides these have come to the members of this, our class of 1932, all of which we will try to deserve during our last year at Oglethorpe, and in going away we hope to leave our beloved Alma Mater a littls better for our having been a part of her, for we will take away with us the association and influences of her indomitable spirit. tOGLE THORI FRANK ANDERSON, JR. , Decatur, Ga. ^' "I 11 K * EVELYN BAUGH Atlanta, Ga.

CHURCH .GRAW 9 COACH ROBERTSON Harry Robertson has held the coaching reins of the Stormy Petrels since 1923 when he replaced his brother, Jim Robertson, Dartmouth star and All-American halfback. It was a great break for Oglethorpe for in Robby they have one of the best all around football coaches in the south. He has turned out good teams with the material avail- able, and somehow, managed to pull through the season with a larger percentage of victories than losses. Robby is a product of Syracuse under the tutelage of Chick Meehan. He played the pivot position for two years 1917-19 and the end position in 1920. He was named on the coaches All-American team as end in 1920. Before coming south he was line coach at Syracuse under Meehan during the 1921-22 seasons. OGLETHORPE T J- VAM/^^ JACK OVERTON Director Intramural Sports HOKE BELL Freshman Coach j KENNETH CAMPBELL Assistant Coach ^ u CAPTAIN HERRIN Claude Herrin, elected to lead the Stormy Petrels through the 1930 campaign, was forced to hang his football togs on the hook for the season when he was injured in pre-season training. He spent three weeks in the hospital at Winder, Ga. Unable to return to the squad he called it a year. Coach Harry Robertson will have the services of the flashy quarterback during the 1931 season and is expecting the tow-headed lad to have his greatest year of college football. ^OGLETHORPE p%> rl\ -.^ . ^"^??' ^.

Not one minus sign of defeat was marked up against them for the entire season of fcot- ball. Outstanding players of the club are : Bolden, Shouse, George. 4 FRANK ANDERSON 'The Daddy of Baseball at Oglethorpe" i^n^i nuKm^ J * # t Despite the loss of four of the hardest hitters from the 1930 Oglethorpe baseball team which won seventeen straight games, the old master, Frank Anderson, put out a club which made a very creditable showing for itself during the 1931 season. Only three veterans were back from last year. They were: Captain Claude Herrin, infielder; Whaley, catcher; Mitchell, pitcher; and Ernest Golden, reserve outfielder on the last year's squad, who was elected alternate captain. Goldin was kept out of the regular lineup last year only by an outfield trio that was far above the average so far as college baseball goes. Frank Anderson, Jr., reserve second baseman last spring, played a good year at the keystone and gave every indication that before he finishes his college career he will have seized a fair portion of the fame that his brother, Marion, who was one of the best second basemen that ever played with the Petrel Club. The pitching staff composed of Mitchell, Walker, Carter, Evans, Black- well, and Sypert stepped on the firing line and proved themselves more than capable of meeting the competition offered them by the tough sched- ule placed before them. Jack Moore, second baseman on the Baby Petrel outfit of 1930, proved a most consistent hitter and his bat helped the Petrel cause no little. In the opening game with the Georgia Bulldogs played at Hermance Sta- dium, the Petrels came from behind twice to outscore the Bulldogs with thirteen base hits and twelve runs. The final score being 12-9. Parker Bryant was the hero of the day with three bingles, which included a three base hit to the far corners of Hermance Field. Oglethorpe defeated Georgia in the second game of the series and tied with Auburn for top place in the Dixie Collegiate League, each having won two games. Ray Walker, tho' far from invulnerable, maintained excellent poise throughout the entire game. Even when under the most severe fire, he remained cool and controlled. The Petrel club suffered a two game defeat at the hands of the Auburn Tigers when the two undefeated teams met on Hermance Field. However, the Petrel luck seemed to have taken a change for the better when the Oglethorpe Club handed the Plainsmen a 8-3 defeat on the first return game. The next game, however, with a 12-0 score was won by the Tigers to give them the lead with a line of three out of four games tucked away in their pocket. The opening game with Mercer gave every prospect of being a taut game but in the fourth inning it dropped a stitch, unravelled, and then went to all sorts of loose ends as the Bears took the game with a 12-2 score. However, whatever was lacking on the opening game came back in full sway for the second game when the Birdmen took a revengeful victory of 11-3. The hitting, which had been lacking during the season, was re- vealed in great fashion with the Petrels securing 17 hits, including nve doubles. Sypert came thru in fine style and proved to those who had been doubtful of his ability, his merit as a left-hander when the Petrels won the third game with a 4-1 score. The fourth game of the series was called on account of rain. In the series of games with the Florida 'Gators the Petrels emerged with three victories; the games being marked by the stellar playing of Herrin and Mitchell. The Yellow Jackets took the scalp of the Petrel club to the tune of a 8-7 victory in the opening game at the Rose Bowl Field. In the second game which saw a better brand of ball played by both teams and which revealed none of the usual collegiate baseball erratics, the Oglethorpe Petrels won with a 6-4 score to even up the series at one all ; Parker Bryant made a very good display of his ability with a triple which aided considerably in the achievement of the victory. With a bunting attack that left the Jackets sick, the Petrels won the third game of the series with a 8-5 score. The year's schedule which is one of the toughest that the Birdmen have had to face is as follows : April 16-17 Georgia at Hermance Field April 10-11; Auburn at Hermance Field April 17-18; Auburn at Auburn April 22-23; Mercer at Hei-mance Field April 24-25; Florida at Hermance Field May 1-2; Mercer at Macon May 4-5; Florida at Gainesville, Florida May 8-9 ; Tech at Hermance Field May 11-12; Georgia at Athens Intramural Athletics asHetbaU Oglethorpe University did not participate in Inter-collegiate basketball ccmpstition during the season of 1930-31 although they had prospects xor the best court team in the history of the school. The Athletic Governing Board, headed by Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, pres- ident of the school, decided that the students of Oglethorpe were not reap- ing any benefits from the athletic department due to the fact that only a limited number of the students derived benefit under this plan. They de- cided on Intramural sports because under this plan approximately three fourths of the student body received instructions in physical education. Heretofore a certain group of athletes participated in all the sports at the university while the rest who were not adapted in football, basketball or baseball, received no instruction in physical education at all. So in an effort for them to participate, intramural basketball was introduced and the program proved very successful. Now approximately three fourths of the students are taking part in the basketball, indoor baseball, basket- ball, free throw, tennis, golf, track and many other sports. Football and baseball programs will be sponsored as in the past for both freshmen and varsity. With such men like Putno, Herrin, Moore, Walker, Whitley, Mitchell, Golden and Hallman to represent the Gold and Black on the court it was a blow to the students and coaches to see what pointed to be the best season on the court go to the wind. But as intramural sports would benefit the majority, the board figured that the best plan. Whether Oglethorpe will take part in intercollegiate basketball next year remains with the Athletic Board. n. Girls Intramural Basketball Tournament Led by Ruth "Jack" Frost, the Fighting Ramblers, composed of the non- sorority girls of the campus copped the girls' intramural basketball tour- nament in the campus gym. They had very little competition and were never threatened at any time during the course of the tourney. In the opening game they defeated the Beta Phi Alphas to the tune of 17-4. While not the leading scorer. Miss Frost was the most outstanding player on the court. Josephine Garmon was high point getter in the opening game, counting four times from the floor. Gladys Bridges was the outstanding performer for the opponents. Miss Frost being unable to play in the second game. Little Joe Garmon led the Ramblers to a brilliant victory of 20-8. She scored sixteen of her team's twenty points. Lee Bennett was the only member of the Kappa Delta team to score. She counted with four double deckers. In the third game the Ramblers sent the Chi Omega girls to the turkish baths suffering under a 13-3 defeat. This gave the Rablers the undisputed claim of championship and the cup. Miss Garman led the field of leading scorers by a margin of one point. She totaled twelve double deckers for a total of twenty-four points. Second place was held by Miss Louise Bodie, C. 0. and Francis Smith, B. P. A., both with a total of twenty-three points. Third place was taken by Gladys Bridges, B. P. A., with a total of seventeen points. flT llj ^VAMACRAW Boys Intramural Basketball Tournament Winning five consecutive victories, the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity won the first Annual Intramural Baslvetball Tournament sponsored by the Ath- letic Department of Oglethorpe Univer_sity. The tournament was held in the university gym with approximately fifty to seventy-five men not competing in varsity or freshman basketball taking part. The tournament was held in order that those not out for the athletic teams of the university would receive some instructions in ath- letics by trained instructors. Each fraternity placed a team in the tournament. The non-fraternity men of the campus banded together and a team was picked from the can- didates. Second honors were captured by the Alpha Lambda Tau Fraternity. They only dropped one game that being to the tournament winners. Third place was held by the All-Am.ericans composed of the non-fraternity men of the campus. The Delta Sig aggregation v/as composed of a group of sharp shooters. They turned in a total of 167 points for the five games. Four members of the team placed in the high score out of five places. MacMillan led with 42 points. Calhoun and Moss of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity were tied for sec- ond place with 40 points. Hood totaled 39 points while Mitchell totaled 38 points. The cup won two consecutive years by the Alpha Lambda Tau Fraternity in the Inter-fraternity Council tournament was presented to the Delta Sig- ma Phi Fraternity. And thus all is quiet on the basketball frontier until the coming of the next season. ^^. ^K^juETHORPE .r^' ii KAPPA ALPHA Founded at Washington and Lee, 1^ Beta Nu Chapter revived 1918 COLORS: SI JfJ^lm, FLOWER: Crimson and Old Gold jZ/ ^^^1''W|^ Magnolia and Red Rose FRATRES IN COLLEGIO Frank Inman Sydney Flynt Tom Daniel Paul Goldsmith James Stringe?.

OGLE THORPW^ ^ mMACRAW History of the Go-Eds The last decade has witnessed woman gradually taking a more important place in the political, business, and educational life of the world. In approximately that same amount of time the co-eds of Oglethorpe have entered in full swing into the prominence of responsible posts and campus activities. The year 1917 (?) found an ambitious young woman, Martha Shover, applying for the position of secretary to Dr. Jacobs, and also desiring to take a few courses in the University. She was given the position and admitted to classes as Oglethorpe's first co-ed. The following year, she was joined by her sister Elise. Eight or ten co-eds voluntarily enrolled in the University during the next two years. By this time it was noted by the faculty that the presence of these young women made the boys more careful in their general appearance and behavior. So the President gave the Eclicitors directions to be on the lookout for prospective women students. The num- ber of co-eds has steadily increased, there now being approximately 90 in the Univer- sity and 200, mostly public school teachers, in the Extension School. From the very beginning the co-eds entered into campus activities with enthusiastic interest and sought to attain the highest degree of scholarship, meriting membership in Phi Delta Kappa honorary society, and the right to be a wearer of the coat-of-arms. As we examine early editions of the Yamacraw we see co-eds holding positions as class officers, student council members, staff members, participants in the Player's Club, and student assistants in various academic departments. Later editions reveal the organizing of a girl's basketball team and three local social clubs; Zeta Tau, Sigma Alpha, and Phi Kappa Eta, now respectively Kappa Delta, Chi Omega, and Beta Phi Alpha, national fraternities. It was 14 years ago that the first co-ed entered Oglethorpe. Today a co-ed holds a po- sition, and that a prominent one, in every important phase of campus life. For the first time in the history of the school a girl is editor-in-chief of the Yamacraw. She is assisted by a staff' of as many girls as boys. Several girls also hold responsible posts on the Petrel staff. The first girl's intercollegiate debating team was organized by the influence of the two co-eds who were admitted to the debating council last year. By the installation of a system of intramural athletics, the co-eds were given an equal opportunity for physical education. Back in the days when that first lone co-ed entered Oglethorpe, who dreampt that in less than fifteen years the number of co-eds would increase to such an extent as to necessitate a "co-ed mother"? This has become necessary and the position is ably filled by a co-ed, Gertrude Murray. So we feel that it is not with too much "braggadocia" that we quote the words of Bernard de Vota, "The Co-eds: God bless them." l^^l^ _ /^' OGLETHORPE ^ ^_ ' MAr.RAUJ Oglethorpe University Band Jeff MacMillan Band Master ^- ORPE Under the direction of Jeff MacMillan, the orchestra has furnished many enjoyable programs of music for the assembly hours and for such student productions as the "Petrel Follies."
