THE MEGAPHONE
PAGE THREE
Greetings!
The members of the "S” Associa-
tion extends to all a prosperous and
happy New Year. For the forthcom-
ing year we resolve to give the stu-
dents, as well as the alumni and all
persons interested in S. U. athletics,
a good spirited and more developed
program in all fields of sports.
The "S” Association stands for
good sportsmanship, clean athletics,
loyalty, hard playing and performing
to the best of one’s ability, Willingness
to fqllow leadership, and clean liv-
ing. In the last few seasons enthusi-
asm for athletics has diminished some-
what on the Southwestern campus. It
is our purpose to revive this spirit
and to work for ever-increasing
school loyalty and fight. Further-
more, the "S” Association desires to
take an active part in the social life
of this campus. We shall hold a
dance every semester, in keeping with
our policy for broader social life.
With the termination of the war,
all eyes turn toward a rejuvenation
of athletics. Southwestern will have
old lettermen returning, some from
actual combat duty. The "S” As-
sociation will provide a source of in-
terest and entertainment to these ex-
service men.
The "S” Association has in the
past been a goal for all young ath-
letics on the campus to attain by win-
ning a letter in a major sport. The
impressive initiation ceremony held
at "the three trees” several weeks ago
is an old tradition of the Association.
This initiation, the second of the year,
use to be a holiday with an all-day
ceremony including a barbecue.
Prospects for a good year of ath-
letics are already increasing with an
excellent basketball team bulwarked by
"S” Association men.
Officers for this year are: Eddy
Blodzinski, president; Ted Bare, vice
president; and Sam Cleavenger, sec-
retary-treasurer. Members of the
organization include: Joe Evans,
John Ulrey, Jim Francis, Eddy Blod-
zinski, Ted Bare, Dan Davenport,
Bob Hamric, Tom Kirkscey, Frank
Orr, Walter Chafin, Camp Gilliam,
Embrey Walton, Bert Guinn, Ralph
Poteet, Jimmy Wells, J. L. Jones, Bill
Turner, Bob Holloway, Bob Sneed,
Bill Vernon and Sam Cleavenger.

SOUTHWESTERN
SCIENCE SOCIETY
In jthe fall of 1917 the Southwest-
ern Chemistry Society was organized
with eight students and plenty of en-
thusiasm. Because of a growing de-
mand the constitution was revised to
include majors in physics. When the
department of biology also asked for
admittance in the fall of 1925, it was
necessary to change the name to the
Southwestern Science Society. In
1929 the Society asked for affiliation
with the Texas Academy of Science.
This was granted on May 28, 1930,
and the S. S. S. became one of the
first scientific organizations to receive
recognition from the Academy.
The Society has tried to maintain
a policy of bringing worthwhile pro-
grams to the campus. There are two
speakers promised for this term, both
of whom have very interesting ma-
terial—Dr. Roy Bedichek, who will
give an illustrated lecture on SEA
BIRDS OF TEE COASTAL REG-
IONS, and Dr. F. M. Bullard, who
will return with new data on the
Mexican volcano.
Last year the S. S. S. had its great-
est enrollment, numbering more than
60 students. This term the following
have been elected to membership:
Janice Tippett, Edward J. Blodzinski,
Donald D. Ferguson, John E. Pear-
son, Betty Parnell, Robert Wilcox,
Ralph Record, Lois Beane, H. D.
Koepke, Charles F. McGough, Helen
Tidwell, and Bill Jack Marshall.
Students are elected on character,
scholarship, and departmental prog-
ress. Among the old members still
on the campus are the following:
Rubin Strickland, Nancy Cannell,
Annanelle Hardt, Charles Peck, Jim
Francis, and Grace Ann McCreless.
All of the staff members of the Di-
vision of Natural and Applied Science
hold associate membership.

Mask & Wig Club
Ministerial Ass’n.
The Mask and Wig Club is the
Southwestern University Dramatic So-
ciety. The purposes of this club are
to increase the resources of the insti-
tution in dramatic leadership, and to
raise the standards and appreciation
of dramatic literature; also, to develop
leaders of dramatic work in church,
school, neighborhood, and commun
ity centers.
During each term, plays are pro-
duced and much enthusiasm is mani-
fested by members of the club as well
as the student body.
Sigma Tau Delta
The Ministerial Association wishes
the student body a happy and very
successful New Year.
All ministerial students and min-
isters on the campus are members of
this organization. In the coming
year the Ministerial Association is
planning to go out and try to revive
many of the churches in the area
around Georgetown and reach all of
those who have been without a pastor
due to the shortage of ministers dur-
ing the war. A banquet has also
been planned for sometime in the
spring.
The officers of the Ministerial As-
sociation are Norman Spellman, presi-
dent; Bob Coleman, vice president;
Verlon Feller, secretary-treasurer;
Bob Goiter, program chairman; and
Bob Pate, publicity chairman.

Thirteen Club
The Thirteen Club, numbering
twelve single souls, is composed of
the feminine elements of the faculty
who live alone and tolerate it. The
Thirteeners are aimless, purposeless,
and hopeless. They have some res-
olutions for the New Year, but same
can not be published. However, one
resolution is so paramount and so
evident that it can be mentioned: No
entanglements during 1946. Their
motto is "All for any.”
The twelve voices of the "13” Club
join with other organizations on the
campus to wish for everyone the same
happiness that they wish for them-
selves .... a single, sane and happy
life during the coming year.
