SOPH COUNSELLOR HAS I Muck Mire, Mood j Los Camarndas Americanos
INTERESTING CAREER ! Hall's Famous Chug Hole, ;
Fusses Into History
PROFESSOR GODBEY FORMERLY
POACHED WINNING TEAM AT
SOUTHWESTERN
Prof. God bey, tho friend and counsel-
lor of tho Sophs, is one of the most
likable professors in the faculty of
Southwestern. II is friendly personal
ity and tho smile which he usually
wears helps tho students to understand
him and derive a benefit from an asso-
ciation with him.
Prof. Godbey was born in Monroe
County, Missouri, on ., farm. It is pe-
culiar that his home was within a
few miles of Mary Twain's home.
Perhaps that explains the wit and hu-
mor that the former possesses. Wood
son Institute fjave Prof. Godbey his
high school training and from there he
went, to Central College in Payette,
Missouri, where the obtained both his
A. B. and M. A. degrees. Later he went
to Missouri State University and Van
derbilt. In ldll 12 he attended the
University of Leipzig in Germany. Be-
sides work in these Universities, Prof.
Godbey graduated from the Howard
Payne Conservatory of Music. While
in Europe, he was also fortunate enough
to travel over the whole continent, and
“Doc” can rehate many interesting ac-
counts of his travels.
After teaching a year or so in high
school, Prof. Godbey was employed in
Cenaral College for three years, and
from there he went to Southern Univer-
sity in Alabama where he taught for
four years. From that University Prof.
Godbey came to Southwestern, this be-
ing Ifis tenth year here.
Prof. Godbey was the instrumental
factor in tho organization of the Mis-
souri Intercollegiate Athletic Associ-
ation and also helped organize the Tex
as Conference, of which Southwestern
is now a member.
Besides being a successful teacher,
Prof. Godbey has had much experience
along athletic lines and in the realm of
music, lie coached Central College in
both football and track and was head
coach in football in Southwestern for
three years. It was back in 1918, when
Prof. Godbey was coaching, that S. U.
had one of the best teams in its his-
tory. That year S. U. defeated How-
ard Payne 64-0 and the latter refused
to play the last quarter. Baylor was
also beaten, and S. M. U. cancelled her
game. Coach Edens was then an >S. U.
student and was on the team.
Prof. Godbey organized both the Van-
derbilt University Band and the Central
College Band. He directed the South-
western Band for three years and has
also had experience in the directing of
Glee Clubs. *
By reading the above, a Sophomore
can understand why the Sophs have
someone who is more than an, instructor
for a counsellor. We have one who is
educated in many ways, and one who
understands the pupil and can help him
out of difficulties. There is no other
who could better handle the Sophs, and
we feel grateful that we do have an ef-
ficient cook to go with us on all our
picnics!
You all know how it used to be mini, i
gobs and bogs of it, and as deep as the1
bottomless pit. and as sticky and cling ;
ing as molasses at t.en below. All voti
had to do to lose your identity was to;
attempt to traverse the street leading
from Mood Hall during wet weather,!
and if you didn’t sink irretrievably out
i
<d sight before you could summon help,,
you were at least so bespattered wit hi
mud and mire as to make you lose alii
hope of ever cleansing yourself. Yes,|
it was bad in those days. All one had!
to do to make a living was to wait
around the place and charge so much]
a head for helping cars out of the mud
We wonder that some enterprising stsi-i
dent didn’t think of that. There was a
possibility of big money in those days.
Muck Mire was an eyesore on the cam-
pus. I| was the bane of all people who
attempted to make Mood Hull in an
automobile. A Ford could negotiate
some places, but not Muck Mire.
But, "them days is gone forever.” To
put it more concisely, someone or some
group had a thought. Now, to have a j
thought is not in itself commendable I
unless it is put into action. But tlieee
people evidently were the kind who be-
lieved in action to back up what they]
had thought. Their idea was not, one|
of tin1 sort that causes a lot of talk and!
wind and no work. But with idea back
of the will to work and do something,
they really got things done.
It was the Sophomore (’lass of last
year that decreed the passing of Mm k
Mire. Whose idea it was we do not
know. In fact, the idea, is not the
thing. Tho big feature is that some-
thing big was done for the school. All
honor to the Sophomore Class of ’25 and
’2(>. Theirs was a worthy work.
Muck Mire has already passed. Al-
though the street has not yet received
its final treatment of surface, the mud-
hob1 is gone, and cars can now come and
go from Mood Hall without fear of be-
ing forcibly detained in the mud. In a
few more weeks one can expect to see a
tine hard surfaced street leading from
the front of Mood Hall to the Avenue.
And all because some one had an idea
of doing something for the beautifica-
tion of Bout h west era’s campus.

POET’S CORNER
IT ISN’T YOUR SCHOOL, IT’S YOU
If you want to go to the kind of a school
Like the kind of a school you like
You needn’t start on a long, long hike!
You’ll only find what, you’ve left behind,
For there is nothing that is really new.
It’s a knock to yourself when you knock
your school,
It isn’t your school, its you!
Real schools are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody get ahead;
When everybody works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a school from the dead!
And if, while you make your personal
stake,
Your neighbor can make one, too;
Your school will be what you want it to
be,
It isn’t your school, it’s you!

At. tin* class conference Hat unlay,
January 29, the Sophomores had the
pleasure of listening to a very interest-
ing and instructive address by Dr. Claud
Howard, head of the English Depart
ment of Southwestern. Dr. Howard is
always interesting and stimulating in
his discussions and this occasion proved
no exception. Taking as his theme the!
necessity of intellectual (development
he proceeded to express his belief that
it was the religious duty of every stu
dent to do the utmost toward the in-
crease of his intellectual powers while
he was still young. It is scarcely pos-
sible that anyone will get new concep-
tions or new ideas after the ago of
twenty-five. He urged every student to
study and try to formulate for himself
a philosophy of life, if he had not al-
ready done so. Ho expressed his opin-
ion that prayer and study were one and
inseparable, and that to pray for wis
dom without working day and night to
develop one’s intellect was (he rankest | trade
hypocrisy.

I raised the hood,
And peered into those dark, unfat homed
dept ha,
From whence those harsh, unseemly
noises came;
But a11 my pains were naught.
1 fell to the ground, and, grovelling in
the dust,
I tried to find wherein the trouble lay.
I inspected t he axle,
I looked into the universal,
And tried the oil,
But. still the growl was heard.
“—?*!f*!*?” quoth 1, “what have I here
That rumbles so and spits and growls?”
And a. voice in answer came out clear
and fine:
“What can you expect in a piece of tin ?”
