Rah! The Stetson football team of 1909-won1 the state championship—even beat Florida University.- Do you know who was playing in that game? None other than the Dean of our University, Harry Crawford Garwood. . Stetson students are forever graduating and then returning to' the University as teachers. Dean Garwood graduated from the Academy in 1909, and from the College in 1913. For seven years he played guard and tackle- for the f oot- . ball team. One year he was manager. He attended the Seminary at Louisville for four years and was later pastor of a church in Miami also for four years. But being a true Hatter, he came back to Stetson in 1921 as head of the Department of Bible." The "Oshihiyi,'' college annual of 1913, described Dean. Garwood as "harmonious, cautious, and genuine." "Wei couthe he synge and playen on a rote, Of yeddynges he bar utterly the prys." The class song was composed by . him, and it was to the tune of "Boola." /' The first four lines are: "Come, .Father Time, room here for you, Sing boola, boola,- boola,, boola boo. Around him, Seniors, two by two, Sing boola, boola, boola, boola, . boo." Dean Garwood played Thomas Holden, the policeman, in the class play, "What Happened to Jones?" - In "Strongheat," the Athletic Association play, he was Black Eagle, the messenger. , Dean Garwood was, a member of Phi Kappa Delta, secretary and treasurer of the Senior Academy, and vice president of the Young Men's Christian Association. In the "Statistics of the Class of 1909," the following things were said of him: Address—Green ' Cove Springs, Fla. Noted for^-Forgetfulness. Favorite study—Math. Expression of countenance—Philosophical. Chief fault—Numerous love affairs. Highest ambition—to be small and cute. He was a member of the glee .club for seven years, and he sang parts in several operas that were given here. He sang bass in the University Chorus and was also a member of the' male quartet. Besides acting, Dean Garwood proved his dramatic abilities as a member of the Debate Club. While still' in school,, he taught mathematics in the Academy, and Latin In the high school. He sang in the quartet at the First Baptist" ' Church for ineany years:' In 1910 Harry Garwood; Doyle Carlton,- Frank Wideman and Arthur "Mylam- formed a quartet and sang all over Florida in a program for prohibition. A great deal has happened since then". In 1941 he was made Dean of the University. The girls,that work in his office say that he is the "swellest boss" a person could have. He is always interested in . them, and he never gets' mad. They say that he is a deep thinker, loves neatness, and that he sings while he works. Everyonce in a while they can hear him singing, "Give Me Oil In My Lamp." Dea# Garwood once wrote articles for the Stetson Weekly Collegiate, and he won a prize here one year for writing the most original poetry. He was also manager of one of the annuals. Red is ,his favorite color, and raising chickens is his hobby. If (Continued on Page 4) •gX:TACKLE!-.- v_.,^.^...-. CStfU HqVdjng.the.

It has been proven that the best method of—distribution was to put' the papers in the first floor Campus • Soda Shop, and in the lobby of Elizabeth Hall, the first floor of the Flagler Science" Building. ' Everyone goes into one of these buildings for chapel, classes and mail or a snack during, the day, and can .pick up a copy. -" Students have- at times .been under the■■ impression that they have to pay for their Reporters. There is a charge all right, but you pay for that in your activity fee when you register. If you would like' a copy to be sent to a friend of relative just drop in the Reporter office or see me. The money from such subscriptions goes into the Reporter fund. Anyone wishing to see current copies of other College papers will find them in the Reporter office, but. we ask you, please do not remove. . . . LEO HOARTY.

However, this did,not even phase the workmen hired by the city1 to cut down so many of our beautiful old trees. A Most of the students were quite, upset over this catastrophe ,and when we inquired of the ; foreman he calmly drawled, "The trees are rotten. They'd be falling! on cars and squashing them flat Now you wouldn't,want that to happen, would you?"' Right then we knew our cause was hopeless. So we held a little funeral service for poor Richard, and the men began sawing. Poor Richard, he was the tree that" used to stand on guard in front of Stetson Hall. A few tears were shed, and as Dick fell across the road, his last feeble words were: "Alas, no more lovers will be in my shadow at night. Never again will I hear their sweet words, or listen to their sighs. There won't be any more squirrels running up and down my spine either, and no more cats to sharpen their claws against my bark." He went on reminiscing about the days when little boys used to climb up and swing on his limbs; the way he felt with the wind and the rain in his' hair—and then he died. . It was indeed sad. Many other trees also met Richard's cruel fate. -Perhaps yoia. have'heard the story of how these old water oaks became such a landmark of DeLand. In 1876, a plan was brought before the City Council to- remit taxes for trees planted in certain lines that were still living after two years. Naturally, everyone began planting trees in their yards. Since then DeLand has been known as the "City in the Forest." The students and teachers of this University lined East Minnesota Avenue with trees one Arbor Day. Now many of these trees have been cut down. They are being replaced by young1 saplings, i STRESSES FACT THAT FAITH IN CHRIST SUSTAINED THEM By WILLIAM L. KING, Jr. On February 3, 1947, the Stetson Forum presented Mrs!. Martin Niemoeller as its guest speaker.- Her topic was "Life Without Father," in which she told of the eight terrible years that her husband spent in Nazi concentration camps. Mrs. Niemoeller probably has a wider "acquaintance with underlying moral and spiritual problems in Germany, than any woman of our time. Even after her husband had been imprisoned, she continued to support the churches of Hitler-dominated Germany. Dr., Niemoeller was, first removed from his pulpit in 1933 for writing articles sympathizing -with Jewish rabbis who, had: been deposed by the'Nazis. After that he was arrested several times for his activities, but he was imprisoned for only a few days each time. At 10:00 a. m., July 1, 1937, he was taken into custody by the Gestapo for questioning. He was brought to trial in February, 1938, charged with "secret conspiracy," and: sentenced to eight months imprisonment. Actually, he spent eight years in jails aand concentration camps. He was considered Hitler's personal prisoner, and most of the ,time was spent in solitary confinmeent. Mrs. Niemoeller received word on May 6, 1945, that he had been liberated, but she did not see him until June 21 of that year. •Mrs. Niemoeller stressed the fact that only their faith in Jestis sustained she and her husband through their trying experiences. Recital is Given by Miss Buxton Miss Frances Buxton of the School o£ Music faculty was presented in recital Jan. 28, at- 8:00 p. m. in Elizabeth Hall Auditorium. Miss ' Buxton was accompanied at the piano by Miss Violet Fraser, also of the faculty. The numbers were well chosen and ranged from, the classics: of Bach to the modern school of Mil- haud, Gershwin, and Benjamin. Over the entire range of mooda and techniques, Miss Buxton proved her ability as an artist and a musician. Her execution of. the difficult Saint-Saens Concerto in b minor, and, the. Faure Sonata (opus 13), offered the artist a world of opportunity to reach a variety of beauty and emotions as well as to delight the listener with a clean, precise technique.
