This page satirizes Hooey College's prominent alumni by presenting caricatured portraits of notable figures in academic regalia. The illustrated alumni include William Hale Thompson (Hooey '06), Sebastian S. Kresge (Hooey '04), Thomas J. Heflin (Hooey '05), and Will H. Hays (Hooey '07). The satire appears to mock the college's pride in these "distinguished sons" by suggesting they represent questionable or controversial figures whose worldly achievements contradict their supposed "everlasting loyalty" to the institution. The ironic tone—"Hooey is proud"—plays on the college's name itself, implying the alumni's accomplishments or character are dubious. Without identifying each figure's specific controversies, the cartoon ridicules the disconnect between institutional boasting and alumni reality.
