Mercer student in the advanced elaas
in Journalism journeyed down to the
City Court. last week to learn gome
of the intricacies of eourt reporting
. The ease tried duriDg the time as
piring journalists were at the court was
apparently of little interest, certainly
so to Rov M.'“Rrp Van Winkle” Pitts,
of- Ellierton, who slept peacefully
throughout the repetition of the - eho-
tiw of May It Please Your Honor,
Raise Your Right Hand, and Mr. Sher
iff, t Bring in the Witness, and
other sing-song proceedure of a trial.
, Incidentally it might be mentioned
that “Peaches” gave his proteges
seats on the prisoner’s bench. If stripes
always make prisoners, then the Mer
oer' journalists are convieta, for the
bench was both hard and corrugated.
The ease tried was of unusual in
terest to the. Mercer students because
there wus present that spirit of rival
ry which has long been known be
tween Mercer and Georgia. A Mercer
law school graduate and one from the
Inw depai tu.ert of the University
Georgia represented the plaintiff
the case. The sinie held true of-the at
torneys for the opposition. A Mercer
graduate, Judge M)alcolm Jones pre
sided over the court The Mercer law
yers in the case were Col. E. C. Herring
and Judge John j. Ross, while those
claiming the University of Georgia as
their.alma mater were A. O. B. .''parks
and Robert W; Barnea, the latter
reiving, honors from both universities.
As is usually the ease, the Georgia
men did the moat of the talking but
the Mercer graduates had what was
necessary to back up the argument

Aiming the many interesting features
of campus life is the new plan which
gives fie stir.tents coutrot of tike cbapel
exercises without the aids' of the fac
ulty on Friday mornings. It was tried-
for the Hirst time last Friday and a
certaiu faculty member was present to
see that its inripienry was auspicious.
A motion to postpone the distribution
of the Fluster until after the meeting
was twice voted down. The volley ball
team representing the Ministerial As
sociation challenged a- picked team
from the rest of the university and
motion was passed to have fifteen po
lireinan detailed to preserve pence at
the game. A motion to adjourn wns
voted down and a yell practice held. ■
The original plan was to let the stu
dents have control of the exercises with
out any help from the faculty but all
of the apostles of Alexander Hamilton
are not dead so one of the members
of the facultj^sdio has gained fame
through his many antics was present
add gave the students a lesson on the
proper way of singing Home Sweet
Home to the tune of Hail to Pitt. The
’essdn was so thoroughly enjoyed by the
freshmen that they continued singing
aft** he was through. Nothing was said
about a second lesson as everyone did
so well, and the performance will not
be repeated.
One of the olinisterial students^seem
ed toMhink student and chapel meetings
were sufficiently wild and wooly with
out the aid of the Cluster so the plan
of distribnting the paper after the meet
ings waa proposed. Freshman Neylans
objected to the idea.and suggested that
it be tabled. The idea was vociferous
ly adopted on the spot. Not realizing
that the motion was dead before birth,
one of the brothers came to him.

BASKETBALL STARS MISS DIXIE FAUST
OF FEW YEARS AGO! SENIOR SPONSOR
Some ten years ago Mercer had
probably its best basketball team. On
this team were Johnny Weatipore
land, “Sport” Carwon, John D. Voss,
Captain Milton Gaines, Roy Cook,
Roddenbery, and Clay Binion. This
team played some of the most formid
able teams in the country. The Uni
versity of Georgia was defeated in
both games and this is something
which proves that it waa a wonderful
aggregation of . basketball players.
Vanderbilt succeeded in defeating.
Mercer by one point margin. . The
score was 26 to 25. The name of
Johnny Westmoreland is still on the
lips of every Mercer man. Although
he played some ten years ago for
Mercer, he is still engaged in playing
basketball. He is the outstanding star
of the wonderful A. A. C. team.
Besides these players Basil Wise,
Kingman Moore, “Big Boy” Forres
ter, “Skipper” Cochran" whose
names have been handed down to
every Mercer student as beingj one
of the best all around athletes Mer
cer has ever produced, “Dutch” Er
win, “Dobber” Doyle, Jimmy Clem
ents, Joe Stubbs, “Hub” Dowis,
Frank Sammons, and Claud Witch-
ard. All these - men were stars in
the great game of basketball. .
The following men are perhaps
more familiar to present students:
Walter Grace needs no introduc
tion to the Mercer students and bas
ketball fans. He was a stellar play
and is still performing in grand
style, on the strong Y. M. C. A. team
of Macon. Charlie Morgan is like,
wise familiar to Mercer students and
playing sensational ball on the
same.team with Walter Grace. Char
lie O’Quinn, the tall, lanky, center
on the. quintet of last year was one
of the best centers the south ever
'•••red. out. “Buddy” Newton and
The election of sponaor for tfac sen
ior class took place last Friday and
Miss Dixie Evelyn Faust was the
unanimous choice. Miss Faust is a tal
ented member of the Wesleyan Olee
Flub. Hhe lives near the college -and
has rharge of the chisr of • Tattnall
Sijimre Baptist church. The selection
of Miss Faust to wateli over the des
tinies of the class of ’21 is in keep
ing with the ideals of the seniors who
•believe in doing big things.
- Though small in size the senior class
is in the front when, it comes to pro
ducing results. Quality counts for more
than quantity is the plan for action
this year and big plans require able
leadership to insure success. The pres
cut senior class ia determined to make
everything they undertake the best- in
the history of the university. The far
iilfy take-off, the Cauldron, the senior
class exercise and the commencement
plans will give the men of later yean
something by which they can remember
the seniors of ’21.
The selection of Mim Fsust to guide
the class through the labyrinth of de
tails of the p re-commencement and
graduation whirl -was a wise move.
With such a charming voun lady who
is socially and musically talented to
guide them through the remaining days
of their stay at Mercer, the members
of the class of 1921 believe they will
start, out in life under fortunate au-
