Page Five OLD HICKORY OLD HICKORY Tennessee is the proud home of one of the greatest of the Nation’s presidents, Andrew Jackson, or “Old Hickory,” as he was affectionately called. Taking its name and character from him, the 30th Divis¬ ion, the “Old Hickory,” was the first to break the noted Hin- denburg Line in the great struggle for freedom, and halt the Kaiser’s march across the frontier of liberty. The “Old Hickory” division, made up largely of Tennes¬ seans, won the last decisive battle of the war. And the teacher: “Readin’, ’ritin’, and ’rithmetic, Taught to the tune of a hickory stick!” We consider it appropriate, therefore, that the first An¬ nual published by the students of the East Tennessee State Normal School should be named “Old Hickory.” Page Six LILLIAN SCHOEN Mascot Of the Editorial Staff Page Seven OLD HICKORY OLD HICKORY OLD HICKORY FACULTY AND OFFICERS Sidney Gordon Gilbreath- Charles Hodge Mathes_ William Jacob Sowder__ David Sinclair Burleson_ Walter Clement Wilson- Frederick William Alexander.

Page Twenty-five OLD HICKORY (Elass Itttatorg It was a calm, peaceful September day in 1917—a day radiant with the sunshine of hope and joyous promise, when we first got a glimpse of the East Tennessee State Normal. We had long looked forward to this eventful time when we should go away to school, and even the thoughts of leaving home made us sad for only a short time, as we were filled with excitement and wonder. However, it was with a feeling of awe that we entered the President’s office for the first time, after we had been through the strenuous ordeal of matriculating the one thing we had dreaded. After a few days we felt very much at home and entered upon our vari¬ ous duties with light hearts, eager to make the most of every day. We were naturally enthusiastic and asked many questions, but we were assured that if we were persevering and diligent we W ' ould reach the goal toward which we were striving, at the end of two years. We were socially inclined, and although it was a critical time in our lives, as our country had entered into the great strife which was taking place, we were sometimes able to drive away sad thoughts for awhile, and have the joyous times which are dear to the heart of every school gill and boy. Various changes took place during the year—the welcoming of this one, the parting with that one, and before the end of the year some of the boys of our class were in distant training camps. We were justly proud that some of our members could go out and meet the responsibilities of life so calmly, even before finishing the course here. Our first year, filled with work and pleasure, passed away rapidly, and the whole class was looking forward to the time when “Senior dignity” should be bestowed upon each of us. September, 1918, came and found us transformed into Seniors, who had put on a dignified air, and taken up the “dearly loved and longed-for respon- sibilities.” Many of the old class had not come back to share our joys and sorrows, but at this time, a number of older and more experienced persons some to whom the term, “dignified school-ma’am” could be applied—joined us. We were indeed fortunate to have them in our midst and we feel that we have been greatly helped by their influence. They were of course more set¬ tled than most of us, and we did not know just what to expect of them, but we took them to our hearts and rejoiced when we saw how gracefully they Page Twenty-six OLD HICKORY put away Senior dignity and how thoroughly they enjoyed the “April Fool hike.” Throughout the year we have had many new and trying experiences. Shall we ever forget our first day in the Practice School? Did ever children ask so many questions? We were expected to be at numerous places at the same time and answer a dozen questions in one breath. Would the seem¬ ingly endless period ever close? We felt relieved when we got our grades on teaching and realized that they brought up greater privileges and pleasures even if they did open the way for greater responsibilities. We have enjoyed our “Senior privileges” and have for the most part tried to make ourselves worthy of them; however, occasionally we have been forgetful of our rank and have lost them; but these few times have only helped us remember that we should set examples for the classes who look upon Seniors with awe and admiration. The graduating class now stands upon the threshold of the undiscovered field of life; we have been endowed with high ideals, and have been pre¬ sented with noble and upright standards. We go now where the voices call us to take up our duties in the world. We have had hardships and made many mistakes, without which life would mean failure. But while we have had troubles, these have been far outnumbered by the joys and pleasures ot our happy school days. It is with a feeling of pleasure and reluctance that we leave our “Alma Mater,” and we take a last lingering look upon scenes around which cluster so many pleasant memories. As we start upon our journey, we turn to pay a parting tribute of love and respect to our dear “Alma Mater” who has un¬ tiringly guided our steps in the paths of duty. NETTIE BUNCH. Page Twenty-Seven OLD HICKORY Class Jlmpltenj My back is slightly bent by the burdens of life and my hair is gray at the temples, but the romance is not yet dead in my heart. Yesterday brought the first bleak night of the season in its wake and a cheerful wood-fire glowed on the hearth, crackling merrily of the Tennessee hills from whence it came. Its voice awoke familiar echoes in my heart—memories of my girlhood and of my many gay comrades at the dear old Normal of East Tennessee, and I longed with all my heart to know how they had fared in the long journey of twenty years since they had so staunchly set forth from its sheltering portals. And I fell to dreaming of old times. Suddenly, the moon was shining brightly and I found myself in the small back yard of m ' y boarding house, not at all concerned over how I came to be there, as my whole attention was centered on a gray-clad little woman before me, whose wisps of gray hair were floating in the wind and who was preparing to mount a broom stick. I fell naturally into the words of the old rhyme: “Old woman, old woman, old woman,” quoth I, “Whither, O whither, O whither so high?” She looked at me pityingly and answered: “Why to sweep the cobwebs out of the sky,” and in a moment would have been among the treetops, but I clutched her with detaining hands. “It is All Saints ' Night and witches may speak to mortals. I pray you grant me a favor.” “What would you have?” “I long to know what fate has dealt to my classmates of T9. “It is worth almost any,” I answered. What price are you willing to pay for it?” she asked with a hollow laugh. “Bind yourself to do my bidding for a year and a day.” I assented without a thought of the consequences and in a moment I too rode upon the broomstick and we were in the heart of a thundercloud fren- ziedly riding the winds. Lights gleamed below and we alighted upon the streets of New York. I looked dazedly about. I was in front of Delmoni- co ' s and just then a splendid Pierce Arrow drove up and from its luxurious depths who should stand revealed to my eyes but little Edith Baxter of Nor¬ mal days, but now strangely altered. There was something in her manner that I could not define. And the cut of her wil lowy gown proclaimed itself Parisian. I followed her in, and “O Edith,” I cried. “Please don ' t call me Edith,” she said haughtily, “I am Pauline Barathe, the Columbian Vamp—the most famous in the world at present and only excelled by Cleopatra and Helen of Troy.” She coolly lighted a cigarette and introduced me to her companion, the Prince of Baden-Baden. “What are you doing here?” “Oh, I? Iam looking up the Seniors of T9 and must not linger longer. Can you tell me where I can find any of them?” “Oh, several have reached New York but—” My traveling companion beckoned me from out the gloom and I hurried away and down a side street into a quieter district and just in front I saw a Page Twenty-eight OLD HICKORY group gathered on the curb-stone and heard the ringing of the tambourine and the strumming of a banjo in a sweet old-time hymn. Dominating all was a clear soprano voice that somehow had a familiar ring. I pushed my way through the crowd and there, with the scoop-bonnet of the Salvation Army on her bright hair, was one we all loved—Helen Lacy, ably assisted by Ethel Thompson, who passed the hat. I could not restrain myself and fell on her neck, drew her to one side and— “What, oh, what,” I cried wildly, “are you doing here?” She promptly burst out crying. “Uncle Sid did not do his duty and protect my susceptible young heart and it was crushed by one of those S. A. T. C. boys. So hearing of the Sal¬ vation Army doughnuts, I determined to join the band and dedicate my life to doing good.” I felt that time pressed. “Do you know of any others of our class in New York?” “Have you seen Tom McMurray? He is in that building making a speech. ” I hurried on. As I entered the door I stopped in sheer amazement. “Down with kings, down with tyranny, and most of all down with presi¬ dents. No one knows them any better than I. We had one at the Normal!” Tears came to my eyes. Was this our trim and debonair Tom? A bushy beard lay upon his chest, his hair stood out in the approved Bolsheviki ringlets, but to my practiced eye they bore the traces of the curling iron. He was coatless and his trousers, some three sizes too large, were supported by large red suspenders. He was accompanying his speech by a weird Bolshev¬ iki dance in which a large butcher knife figured strongly. His speech was telling on the mob and some were in tears. He retired to recuperate from his efforts and I summoned my courage and joined him “Tom, do tell me, are there any more of our class in town?” “Why yes—there ' s Anne. Go right upstairs, you ' ll find her in the attic.” 1 was panting by the time I reached the top of the ninth flight and quite discomfited to find myself in a large empty garret with no sign of human habitation. Then I perceived a small door at the far end. I knocked per¬ sistently and was turning away when the door swung slowly open and Anne stood in the doorway. But not the buxom lass of T9. She looked, to be frank, quite cadaverous but had lost none of the old-time pep. In fact, she brandished a nine-pin in my face energetically and proclaimed that I might as well go away as she had no money at all. Then she recognized me and we fell into each other ' s arms. She dragged me inside, pushed me into a chair and began to read manuscript to me. “Oh, Anne, Anne, I can ' t stay! Tell me what you are doing here.” “Why I am a play-wright, but on account of the unreasonableness of the editors 1 have had nothing published as yet. But I am sure this will be the hit of the season. You must dine with me.” She went to the cupboard, but alas, it was utterly empty! She dropped into a nearby chair and wept bitterly, explaining between sobs that she had been too busy to think about food all day and now she was hungry and ab¬ solutely broke. I found Estelle Pair in much the same condition, as she was striving to earn her livelihood by writing the wit and humor column for the papers. Hence I started in quest of a baker. In the next block was a brightly lighted window in which lay a person in a hypnotic trance. Something in the profile and thick black hair made me stop and look again. Could it, oh, could it be Delpha Meredith? Next door Page Twenty-Nine OLD HICKORY was a bakery and I asked the proprietor, a small, dark, fat man with a de¬ cidedly aquiline nose, if he knew the sleeping lady next door. „ “Oh, that is Delpha Meredith, an old classmate of mine in ’19.” There in the inner doorway stood Yetta, his wife, now a fat and cheerful dame. She took me hospitably into the living apartment. There on the dining-room table sat thirteen blue bowls await ing the morrow and on the window-seat were thirteen piles of school books, while before the fire were thirteen pairs of little shoes toasting their toes preparatory for a warm wel¬ come to their owners. I entreated her to go to Anne s and Estelle s succor, and set out to find Sister Smith as she had directed. She was starring in the Tollies and I found her in her dressing room, having just returned from her act. She wore a much abbreviated dress of gold brocade. Cassie Smith, now a movie actress, was calling on her. They were preparing to go see Georgia Taylor and Ora White, who were with Ringling Brothers, then in winter quarters on the outskirts of the city. I was amazed to find Ora featured as the fat lady—the only one in cap¬ tivity weighing five hundred pounds. And Georgia was the snake charmer, and Ora proudly told me that Georgia had the most promising future before her of any in that profession in any American circus, as one look from her quite cowed them for a week. I had hardly gone two blocks from the circus when I saw someone shak¬ ing a door and loudly demanding entrance in the name of the law ' . There was something familiar in the tall figure. “Why hello, Essie Kiser,” I cried, “are you a policeman?” “Oh no,” she whispered confidentially, “that is just a ruse to get inside. That is the only difficulty I have. If I only get in they always buy one be- fore I leave. I am selling the most marvelous book that has ever appeared before the public. It is a treatise on “Hookworm vs. Tennessee” and other equally interesting and timely topics. It is compiled by Lewis Land and Hubert Huff, who have become ardent disciples of Mr. Buice. Mr. Land is making a house-to-house campaign and is selling medicine which will cure any disease. He can safely recommend it because he invented it himself. He is doing it solely for the uplifting of humanity. But you should have a half dozen copies of this wonderful book for your library, so that when you have worn out one you will have another to fall back upon immediately and will not have to wait till you can locate me to procure it.” She grasped me firmly by the shoulder and I should have had to invest heavily, but at this op¬ portune moment my lady of the broomstick jerked me unceremoniously up behind her and we whirled away at a dizzy height toward the South. We hovered over a beautiful little town nestled among the foothills of my beloved home state, Tennessee, then dropped lightly up on the majestic campus of one of the South’s bst Universities. Within the hall of the build¬ ing before me I could see a blue-overalled figure busily scrubbing the mo¬ saic floor. I stepped to the door. “Could you tell me whether any of the class of 19—why Dawson King, in overalls?” . .. . . . T “Oh yes, I am head janitor here, quite a responsible position, I assure you. I handed in my application for the presidency six years ago when Uncle Sid was called to Harvard, but someone else had gotten theirs m be¬ fore me, but they had this vacancy, so I took it.” “Good-by,” I said, and turned away. . , _ _ ... “But wait, don’t you want to go to the theatre tonight? Two militant suffragettes who are running for the senate are to speak. We hurried o . I stood spellbound, for there upon the platform were Bill Fulton and Page Thirty OLD HICKORY Maude Grigg. Willie made a speech on “Why women should have all the responsible positions in the government,” accompanied by much cheering. Then Maude rose and declaimed that she intended to go to the senate or blow up Gay street, that the mines were all laid and could be set off at a moment’s notice. (She was clearly addicted to Bolsheviki methods). Some one be¬ side me clapped vigorously and I was overjoyed to see Tera Harshbarger and Barbara Haire, elegantly gowned, standing beside me. “What have you achieved in the last twenty years ? 1 should say that you were society leaders.” “Oh, no,” they answered in unison, “we taught for the first three years after graduation. By that time the wages of domestic help so far excelled that of teachers that we determined to hire out. So we have cooked for the last seventeen years and are now ready to retire and are going to travel the rest of our lives. But have you seen Madge and Lucille? Come with us and we will take you to see them.” As we started around the corner to where their car was parked we saw a man balancing upon a packing box haranguing a crowd of small boys and loafers. “Why there’s Dewey Humphries.” He came down from the box to give us the glad hand and explained that he was in partnership with Lewis Land and Hubert Huff for the improvement of the health of the people of Tennes¬ see. He presented each of us with a box of liver pills for old times’ sake, and we went on our way rejoicing. I was delighted to find Lucille Sylvester and Madge Ripley, the matrons of a large and thriving orphan asylum, where they taught the children in¬ ductively and deductively and raised them psychologically, according to the precepts laid down by Professor Alexander, so that you could never tell that the finished products had been raised by hand. “You should go to see Professor and Mrs. Burkhart while you are here,” suggested Madge, and I eagerly assented. Mr. Burkhart was now superintendent of schools for the city and had proved himself a very capable one, while Mrs. Burkhart interested herself mainly in caring for their beautiful home. While we were there the door bell rang and who should it be but Evalena Link, balancing a large basket of clothes on her head. “Why Evalena,” I cried, “what are you doing with yourself now?” “Ruth Moon and I are taking in washing and like it tremendously. You should try it.” But I could not stay at this pleasant gathering as my travel¬ ing companion and her broomstick appeared at this juncture. Our next stop was in Johnson City, directly before the home of Helen Browder. I was glad to see her, though it quite touched my heart. She looked so thin and wan, so much more so than in her girlhood. She tried to be as cheerful as ever but her old-time enthusiasm was completely gone. I found out later that she was slowly pining away from a broken heart and already had to wear a board down her back to keep it from breaking in two. She pointed out Miss McDavid’s home up the street where she was happily married at last and made an excellent home for her dumpy little hus¬ band and seventeen cats. When I went to see her she regaled me with the amazing story of Mrs. Rogers’ “Call.” She had suddenly decided that it was her duty to go to Africa as a missionary and forthwith deserted her family and had set out, but upon arriving there had taken up lion hunting. Far back in the hills of North Carolina I found Chloe Baker presiding over a one-teacher school of 135 pupils. She employed all the latest methods of punishment and even had an excellent ducking stool rigged up in a nearby pond, which with the sticks were her favorite modes of punishment. She Page-Thirty-one OLD HICKORY had gotten her ideas from Professor Alexander, who recommended them highly. She told me that Nettie Bunch, Ruth Jeffers, and Jessie Mackie were ' teaching in the next county and employed the same methods as herself. She took me home with her to see Laura Reece, with whom she boarded. Laura seemed younger now than she had at the Normal 20 years ago She wore coquettish curls over her ears. But Chloe confided to me that Laura had given up hopes the year before and yielding herself at last to crochetted shawls and fingerless gloves, had settled down as a confirmed old maid. Our next flight was a long one, and horrors! When we alighted it was near a large pond whose banks were writhing with alligators. I retreated to a fence and sought refuge on the post. But who was the damsel stepping so blithely among them? No! As she approached I saw that she had the ample proportions of middle age. What had deceived me was the brown hair bobbed and frizzled about her ears. But the winning smile and brave eyes proclaimed themselves Leota. In my joy at seeing her again I slipped from the fence and recklessly jumping ’gators ran to meet her. She showed me proudly over her alligator farm, of which she had made a great success. She knew each of her pets by name and they followed her about like dogs. She took me up to the house and introduced me to her husband, who was perfecting the invention of automatic wings which were to be attached to My guide drew me away and headed our queer quest toward home, but I pleaded, “Oh, surely you have not forgotten Lorna. My whole trip wou lose its pleasure did I not see her.” Then we left the winds behind m our haste until we could hear the sullen boom of the ocean and saw the North¬ ern Lights gleaming on the horizon. And off the coast upon a rocky island, a lighthouse flashed its warning, and there I found Lorna faithfully tending the light like a vestal virgin of old, leading a rather secluded life but a su¬ premely happy one as she asked nothing more than to dwell beneath the Bnt- 1Sh My fire had gone completely out and I was numbed with cold and cramped from sitting in one position so long, or was it from the fatigue of my jour¬ ney? I put my hand to my hair and it was damp, whether from the salt spray of the ocean or the mists of the night which crept in through the win dow, I know not. JEMIMA McCALLA. Page Thirty-two OLD HICKORY Page Thirty-three OLD HICKORY Page Thirty-four Page Thirty-six • THIRD YEAR CLASS OLD HICKORY SECOND YEAR CLASS OLD HICKORY Wfyy SJtbrarfe’S llh? Ab li tytb (Written for the burlesque Faculty meeting at the home of President and Mrs. S. G. Gilbreath, March 7, 1919, in honor of Judge and Mrs. S. C. Williams, by Miss Olive Taylor, Librarian, East Tennessee State Normal School.) This is a subject that has agitated great minds for years; much has been written and more said on the subject. Even learned men in the Legislature of the State of Tennessee have seen the damaging influence of school libraries and sought to curtail them by reducing the educational appropriation, there¬ by making it impossible for Normal or other school libraries to exist. Libraries existed in ancient Egypt and Assyria as early as 337 B. C. Why in this progressive age should we want anything so ancient? No re¬ mains of them can now be found. Why waste money on anything so perish¬ able? We hear of the great library founded by Attalus I, rival of the Alex¬ andrian library, being removed by Antony and sent as a gift to Cleopatra, thus showing he was aided in his mad career by the use of a library. Always have they been detrimental to mankind! Julian, the Apostate, so called on account of his renunciation of Chris¬ tianity, founded libraries on which he inscribed the words, “Some love horses, some birds, others wild beasts, but from boyhood I have been possessed with the desire of acquiring and owning books.” What an example for a Chris¬ tian nation to follow! Aside from the early tyrants, we know, beginning from the fourteenth century, came the establishment of libraries in Germany; until now all the universities have famous ones. Think of it! In Germany, and still many would follow the example and establish them here. He who would give money to aid in the establishment of a German institution is pro-German and a traitor to his country and should be treated as such, be he judge or juror. I hear you say, what of Carnegie? I grant he would die unsung and unread, but think of the good his money might have done. Schools might have been founded for teaching monkeys to talk; several scientists of Chi¬ cago, also Anna Fitziv, the prima donna, being now greatly agitated over the possibility of so doing. They owe that much to their ancestors. It is impossible to use a library without gaining knowledge. The Bible opposes this, saying, “He who increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow,” also “Much learning hath made thee mad.” People might acquire knowledge and want to take part in the questions of the day, and interfere with our legislators, senators, etc., who prefer to settle our affairs unmolested. Boys and girls might spend their time in them instead of ornamenting the streets, and some streets need ornamenting badly. Rural libraries might keep boys on the farm instead of increasing the population of the cities, and it is well to have the cities grow and increase. Libraries encourage extravagance by paying librarians such enormous salaries. Their rules of silence are undemocratic. Freedom of speech should not be curtailed any more than freedom of the press or freedom of the seas. I will now show why the library of the East Tennessee State Normal School in particular should be abolished. We have a president who knows everything without the use of books. Dean Mathes can assign his classes more subjects not found in any library Page T hi r t y - eig h t OLD HICKORY than any living man. Professors Alexander and Burleson can speak on any subject. Professor Rogers can prove anything by geometry. Professor Sowder can grow anything except hair without books or directions. Pro¬ fessor Roberts teaches every language, using a method of his own, while Miss Slocumb teaches “Appreciation of Art” but does not come to the li¬ brary to find it. Miss Yoakley and Professor Bingman spend their time looking up other people’s ideas when the state pays for their own. Miss Hornsby and Miss Huff would cease to growl because they have not time to go, and Miss Macbrair cease to neglect her sewing classes to look up the latest styles. Also we have in town a judge who knows everything legal, while his wife knows more about educational matters than any library can show. Students will use the books and wear them out, and the state is too poor to buy more. The students could find another open door to dodge into when they see President Gilbreath coming and another place to say they have been in when they have not. We frequently find a contagious disease in the encyclopedia; and mag-- azines, of which there are many, are likely to explode at any time. Some¬ times a “Baum” comes into the room, and we are frequently in danger of being gassed by the fumes from Miss Smith’s chemical laboratory. Life in the trenches is more desirable. We all get the Johnson City Daily Staff at our homes, sometimes as of¬ ten as three times a week, so we can keep up with the world’s events. The library is always crowded. The librarian cannot get around with¬ out tearing her clothes on the chairs and tables and embarrassing the young men by putting her arms around them in reaching for books on the tables. Her sleeves have been torn with much reaching, and there being no weekly holiday for mending, she is always in a condition of raggedness. My greatest plea for their abolishment is that those in the profession may be saved from their trials and tribulations, greater than those of any known profession. McAdoo’s jobs were play in comparison. They must know everything, answer everything, and do everything; and because it is only the librarian with nothing to do, no thanks are necessary. As an ex¬ ample, 1 give six questions asked and answered in as many minutes this af¬ ternoon: “Is Prof. W. C. Wilson the same man as Woodrow Wilson, who writes so much in the papers?” “Which is the greater musician, Miss Mathes or Professor Schoen?” “Does Lieut.

Why.do the Practice School teachers get salaries when the students do the teaching?” Daily we cry with the poet, “Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness.” Verily I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, or for a boy to talk to a girl in the Normal halls, than for a librarian to keep her religion and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Page Thirty-nine OLD HICKORY OLD HICKORY Sidney Gordon Gilbreath Two poets have sung of the duty of love To those who must travel life’s way ; Each hears a heart call in the traveler’s need, A voice that love bids him obey. One would live in a house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by; And one to the weak fainting under their load, His strength he would never deny. The first would e’er dwell in home’s comfort and calm, His rooftree would shelter from strife; He would rest in his house by the side of the road. By the side of the highway of life, But at ease in his house he would laugh with the glad, Or weep with the strangers that moan; He would not turn away from their smiles or their tears, Like a man who would dwell all alone. But one would not rest in the house by the road, Safe sheltered from storm and from sun; But, no burden his own, he would share in the load, Of the faint brother toiling along; With no sorrow or pain he would walk the highway, And help bear the burdens that crush, And himself unafraid give brave hope to the weak Who were falling behind in the rush. But I think when I read of the poet’s desire To dwell in a house by the road; Or, no burden his own, to speak words of good cheer To the faint who must carry life’s load, That a soul without sorrow or loss of its own, Cannot measure the depths of despair; That lives unclouded with fear and with sin, A weak brother’s pain cannot bear.

Page Forty-seven OLD HICKORY (Htv StviuiUttunt The great student revolution was on! With white, strained faces, the Faculty sat huddled together, waiting the next dread summons. Occasionally there penetrated from the chapel, where the students were gathered, a stormy clamor demanding that this teacher or that teacher be placed next on trial for high crimes and misdemeanors. “I don’t see why we can’t have ’em all in at once and just bunch ’em,” penetrated a shrill vicious voice. “What’s the use of wasting so much time? I’ve got a date to go bean- ing at 4 o’clock.” “Me too,” cried a member of the fourth-year class. “I think we ought to make hay while the sun shines.” “Aint it the truth!” came a sympathetic murmur. The listening teachers shuddered. At that moment the door opened. “Mr. Burleson!” Mr. Clark’s voice summoned. A murmur of compassion vibrated through the awed silence as totter- ingly the literature teacher rose to his feet. “Yes,” he gasped with dry lips. “They want you next,” said the mes¬ senger. One member of the faculty whispered to another, “I knew they would have it out with him among the very first; it’s some of the literature pupils. Again the door closes, again the awful silence, the terror-stricken strain¬ ing to hear, the gloom lightened only by one eight-candle-power electric lamp. Out of the shadows came the voice of Miss Anderson: “They are rude, just plain rude ! There’s no other word for it.” The door opened, “Next,” said Mr. Clark, “Miss Yoakley.” There was a heart-rending cry; the little body staggered to the threshold. “Tell me, Mr. Clark,” she gasped, pleadingly, “What about Mr. Burle¬ son? Did they, did they—” she could say no more. “I can’t tell you anything, Miss Yoakley,” he said, “for they’ll catch up with me.” “Just tell me this,” gasped the other, “is he alive?” Mr. Clark yielded a little before the eager, burning eyes. The rest listened with frightened apprehension. “He’s alive all right,” said Mr. Clark, “but,” his kind face looked sympathetically at the little sea of white faces. He heaved a deep breath; then almost closing the door, he whispered, “but he’s got to read Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Spencer’s Faerie Queen, and Harold, the Last of of the Saxon Kings, between now and tomorrow morning.” There was silence an instant. The little group with senses stunned was unable to voice its terror at this last intelligence. Then there was a. soft thud as Miss Smith fell senseless from her chair. In a moment Miss Anderson had raised her head. “Water,” she said to Mr. Clark, “a glass of water.” Mr. Clark shook his head. “I’m sorry, Miss Anderson,” he said, “but you know water for drinking purposes is no longer permitted by the council. I can get some coca-cola or some soda pop, but that’s all. I believe though that Matt is making a couple of barrels of chocolate nut sundaes and per¬ haps that—” “Never mind,” said Miss Smith faintly, “I am better now.” “Next,” came from the doorway, “Miss Cockrill!” The expression teacher crossed the floor and (low be it spoken girls) she was very much out Page Forty-eight OLD HICKORY of poise. She glanced about her, then elevated her chest and took a deep breath. An instant later she disappeared through the dread portal. Again the door opened, and again, and again. At last every member of the faculty had been summoned before the dffead council. All save one, President Gilbreath, was left alone. In the presence of the faculty he had kept a stiff upper lip, inspiring all by his example of smiling courage. Now, however, he became a prey to all fears. With dread he recalled the permissions he had refused to grant, the reprimands against school wiles. Shudderingly he listened as footsteps sounded in the hall without. “They are coming for me,” he whispered. “For what?” Then an agonized thought pierced his frenzied brain. O, no,” he whispered, “they could not do that, they could not be so heartlessly cruel!” For suddenly like a thunderbolt out of the blue, the aw¬ ful thought had come to him that they were going to campus him. “Any¬ thing but that.” He wrung his hands. “I just could not bear that ; I ' ll agree to anything else—compromise on anything!” Then as he all but swooned, a hand fell upon his shoulder and shook him vigorously. He knew that his hour had come. The hand was still shaking, but I knew it was against my own shoulder. “Here, wake up, you silly,” I heard my roommate say, “if you want any breakfast you’ll have to hurry.” . I sat up rubbing my eyes, “toil must have been dreaming,” said my roommate laughingly. I smiled feebly, for it seemed that I had. leda smith.

The Sapphonian Literary Society was organized for the purpose of de¬ veloping individuality of expression and composure in the presence of an audience. The motto, “Service,” tells what the society is doing, for every one of the 118 members is a “peptomist.” The school life has been made pleasant and profitable by weekly and occasional public programs. The pa¬ triotism of the society was shown by its contributions to the war work. Con¬ sidering the membership and the quantity and quality of good accomplished, this is “The Society,” as our goddess, Sappho, was “The Poetess.” OFFICERS : Winter Term— _-President_Lucy La Rue V.-President_Kate Rodgers _-Secretary_Ethel Thompson -Treasurer_Edith Johnson Spring Term— Tennie Ross_President Madge Ripley_V.-President Leda Smith _Secretary Essie Kiser_Treasurer Page Fifty-nine Fall Term— Estelle Pair_ Elizabeth Davis .

Burleson, who has continued with the Club since its first meeting. Other members of the Faculty from time to time have taken an active interest in the Club, the principal ones being Professors Roberts, Schoen, and Coggin. The first year’s program was both literary and pedagogical, last year’s was mostly literary, this year’s entirely so. The programs this year have been especially interesting. First, there was a study and discussion of lead¬ ing Southern writers—Lanier, Timrod, and Hayne. Then there was a dip into the leading characteristics of British, French, and Russian literature. Then the dramas of Ibsen were taken up. Two of his plays, “A Doll’s House” and “The Ghosts,” have been reviewed and discussed. “The Pillars of Society” is to be discussed at the next meeting, while the subject for the last program of the year will be O. Plenry and some of his stories. The meetings have been very well attended and have been exceedingly interesting. Faculty members taking part in these discussions are Professors Burleson, Roberts, and Schoen. The students taking an act¬ ive part are Misses Helen Lacy, Anne Huddle, Lorna Whiteside, Elizabeth Carroll, Evelyn Love, Blanche Cook, Gertrude McDavid, Julia Parvin, Grace Chesnutt, Mary Snoddy, Leota Williams, Irene Bennett, and Mrs. Hicks. Page Sixty-one OLD HICKORY Prairtiir ®Farlj £xW Club The Practice Teachers’ Club was organized during the Fall Term of 1917 for the purpose of bringing about a closer co-operation between practice teachers. Problems which relate to teaching and which are common in the expe¬ riences of the practice teacher are brought before this club at each bi-month¬ ly meeting. Interesting and instructive programs are rendered by various members of the Society and open discussions are introduced in which every person present is encouraged to take an active part. This club proves itself very valuable to the prospective te acher, in that it aids her in solving not only many problems which confront her dur¬ ing the practice teaching but problems which she will be called upon to face during her career as a teacher. Following are a few of the subjects discussed last term: 1. The Value of the Practice School to the Prospective Teacher. 2. The Personality of the Teacher. 3. The Teacher as a Social Worker.

W. €. A. The East Tennessee State Normal has a Y. W. C. A. of which it may well be proud. It was organized during the Winter Term of the year 1911-1912. Since September, the association has made wonderful progress. At the be¬ ginning of each term a Very successful campaign brought many new mem¬ bers into the association. At present the total enrollment is 101. The aim of the association is to fos ter the cause of humanity and make it more vital in the life of every student. It affords the means of bringing the girls together on two evenings of every week for religious worship. The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. have had some very inspiring joint programs. The Saturday meetings of the Spring term were conducted by the different dormitory apartments. The main features of some of our programs have been talks by noted speakers. Among those who have visited the associa¬ tion this year are: Miss Ina Yoaldey, Dean C. H. Mathes, Rev. Hugh Kelso, Rev. O. E. Sams, Dr. Hannah Morris, and President Gilbreath. The Association accomplished much financially this year. It made a monthly contribution of $5.00 to the Armenian and Assyrian Fund, and a vol¬ untary offering of $10.00 to the United War Work Fund. The Y. W. C. A. since its organization has furnished magazines, newspapers, and pictures for a reading room in the dormitory. It has also contributed a number of books and has used its good influence in securing a good library. It kept a medi¬ cine cabinet supplied and sent flowers to the sick. The cabinet members, as¬ sisted by other members, managed the store in which they sold school sup¬ plies, candies, and other articles. Until last Spring two delegates have been sent to the Blue Ridge Conference. Delegates will be sent again this year. As a social feature, it gave a Hallowe’en and a Valentine Party. This past year has been a most successful one under the able manage¬ ment of Miss Julia Parvin and Miss Gertrude McDavid.

The Young Men’s Christian Association was organized in the Fall Term of 1918, and was under army supervision with Professor C. E. Rogers, Gen¬ eral Secretary. This organization was carried on in connection with the S. A. T. C. and, as nearly as possible, the boys had the same advantage of the “Y” as did the boys in the camps. The officers were elected by the boys and the Bible, study work and athletic activities were in charge of the boys who were elected for those purposes. Many enjoyable evenings were spent by the boys, listening to the Vic- trola and observing the movies, playing chess, or some other game furnished free of charge to the boys. The work of the “Y” in the camps was almost duplicated at the Normal and the boys who were discharged had the high¬ est regards for the “Y” work and our enthusiastic Secretary, Professor Rog¬ ers. After Christmas when the Winter Term opened the Y. M. C. A. was con¬ tinued. The nature of the work of course changed as conditions were changed when the Armistice was signed. The Army “Y” continued to send literature, athletic goods, etc., but our main work has been Bible study and social work. Moving pictures are shown free every week and all students of the school are invited to attend. Plans are being made to hold joint meetings with the Y. M. C. A. of the school and these meetings are open to the entire student body. Plans are also made to send delegates to the Blue Ridge Y. M. C. A. Student confer¬ ence at Blue Ridge, N. C., in June.

Many of the former members who have as valiantly fought against a common foe have returned to our Society.

We have had winning teams all the time. Because of the lack of material this year the Basket-ball season did not open until after Christmas. , Then Lieutenant Reece came to the rescue, and through his ability as a director a strong team was developed. Several teams were played during the season, only two games being lost by the home team. The first game was played with Bristol (Tenn.) High on the home court with losing score of 20 to 28. This game showed the lack of practice. The next game was with Kingsport High School. This game was easily captured by our boys. The team then journeyed to Bristol, where they met defeat the second time with the same team. The team, however, showed great improvement over the previous game. After several weeks of hard practice the Bristol (Va.) boys, who had just defeated the Bristol (Tenn.) team, were invited to what they thought was a victory. When the Normal boys went on the floor they hit it on the run and completely carried the Bristol boys off their feet with the result that the victory was captured by the home team to the tune of 27 to 30. Then the teams journeyed to Newport and Greeneville. The first game was played at Newport. The team was small but quick, but our boys out¬ classed them in skill and pass work. The disputed score was 28 to 30 in our favor. The next and last game of the season was played in Greeneville. The Normal team was handicapped on starting the game, having one of the forwards knocked out at Newport. Our boys did seme good playing and ran the score up during the first half and the game proved to be one of the hottest contests of the entire season, with the resulting score of 30 to 31 in our favor. With the second team winning a couple of games, the season closed with only two games lost. With the prospects of a new gymnasium the Normal School expects to have better basket-ball teams in the future than she has ever had before.

The fact that the gymnasium was used until Chrismtmas as the S. A. T. C. barracks prevented their having any practice before the New Year. However, early in Jan¬ uary, Coach Schuh called the squad together and started them in on a good, strenuous practice for the games to come. By the middle of the month Miss Schuh had the team in wonderful working order and a fit match for any of the girls ' teams of Eastern Tennessee. The first game was played with Bristol (Tenn.) High School on our home court on January 17th. Here our girls showed their ability for basket¬ ball by winning with a score of 24 to 6. The second game was a return one with the Bristol team on their court on February 8th. Here again we proved victorious. Score, 13 to 14. The third game Kingsport played us here on February 11th. The Kings¬ port girls were no match for our girls, the local aggregation scoring over them with 24 to 6. The fourth game was with Newport, on our floor, February 15th. They too proved no match for the strong Normal Sextette. Score 56 to 6. Sullins College team played the fifth game with us on our court on March 1st. This game was a hard and fast one, the Sullins team finally scoring over us by their superior playing. Our girls had every chance to win the return game but because the season closed we were unable to show our uplifting determination to even up things. Our sixth and seventh games were played on visiting courts. At Mary¬ ville College on March 14th the girls played a remarkable game. Here Miss Reece showed her ability as general “utility man by taking Lacy ' s place as forward, while Robinson kept the Maryville forwards on the jump, after be¬ ing put in Cook ' s place as guard, Cook being removed in the second half with two sprained fingers. In the face of this the Normal Team won with a score of 27 to 15. We played Greeneville on our return trip on the evening of March 15th. Our girls played an easy game here, ending the season with the one-sided score of 57 to 4. This three-day trip was most eventful and will long be remembered by the girls and their Coach, Miss Schuh. Especially will they remember the “pickle episode in Knoxville and the “after-the-game party in Greeneville. It was with this trip that the 1919 basket-ball season ended, every girl having done excellent and faithful playing which was worthy of our school. Page Seventy-five OLD HICKORY.

The season for this game, although very short, proves one of great interest and training. Under the direction of our Coach, Lieut. Reece, we have been able to secure good equipment and some of the old players have returned. The fact that there was no organized team during last season has made it somewhat more difficult to organize this year. But many young and in¬ terested players are trying for a position on the team and no doubt before the last of the season we will have developed a well organized and strong lighting team. The object of baseball in the Normal School is not merely to train teams for inter-scholastic contests but to provide a suitable means for recreation for every student and also to train young men to go out as coaches in high schools. Following are some of the teams with which we expect to engage in contest during the coming season: Greeneville High School, Knoxville High School, Tusculum College, Washington College, Maryville College, and some of the minor teams of this part of the State. Tom McMurray has been elected Manager of the team and Doran Shell Captain. JfmitlutU During the coming season Coach Reece expects to organize and develop a football team. The school has never been successful in its attempt to in¬ itiate this most popular branch of College and High School Athletics and as this game is our coach’s “strong point” in athletics, we are predicting a very successful season for our football squad. The season for the playing of this game in the Normal Schools is longer than the season for baseball and its growing popularity causes an entirely new conception of the game and will soon give it a place in all our Normal Schools. Boost football, the best game of them all. Page Seventy-seven OLD HICKORY OLD HICKORY (Hutnts With the first signs of Spring, “Uncle Houston” came around to roll and line the courts. In a day or two tennis was in full swing. The courts were crowded with enthusiasts seeing if they had forgotten “how.” There were also many novices out to learn the game. New nets and balls had been purchased and these with the addition of several rackets have equipped those who had none. Professor Burleson’s orders to the effect that “anyone who has on anything except tennis shoes will not be allowed to play,” has not been in some cases carried out, for we occasionally see people on the court who have other wearing apparel than tennis shoes. There are many experts who handle “cuts,” “twists,” and “smashes” so well that it is predicted that there will be a hot contest for the champion¬ ship in the tournament to be held toward the latter part of this (spring) term. Among the young men, King (last year’s champion) has been picked as a possible winner. As for the girls, there are so many experts, it is really hard to say who will come out ahead. Spangler suggests that we secure a “mechanical ball-chaser,” as he is not so anxious to play as to walk the extra mile to chase the ball that San¬ ders knocks “over the top” in his vigorous efforts to hit Spangler while he (Spangler) is not at the net. Some who know not the mysteries of tennis have been heard to say, “Ten¬ nis is a girls’ game.” Well, one might say that, but let him get up close to the net and hear the “pills” whiz by his head and he will change his mind. So come out, ye uninitiated and be taught by some of our gallant young men and women, the game that develops both muscle and alertness. nth During the coming Summer Term we shall develop a Track Team for interest of all those who love this branch of athletics. Field Day always has been one of great excitement and many physical contests are listed for the strong athlete who wishes to try his skill and strength for the winning of one of the many prizes.

Page Eighty-one OLD HICKORY Class Will Know All Men by These Presents: That we, the Senior Class of the East Tennessee State Normal, in the county of Washington, and the State of Tennessee, considering the uncer¬ tainty of life and desiring to leave behind us some substantial proof of our affluant circumstances and also being fully aware that we are leaving be¬ hind forever the pleasant (?) tete-a-tetes in the President’s office, the watch¬ ful care of the matron, and the stale announcements made at assembly, which we, with the characteristic patience befitting our station, have long endured, do hereby, out of consideration of those who are yet to traverse the rough and rocky way, make, declare, and publish this, our last will and testament: Item I. To the Juniors or Soon-to-be Seniors, we bequeath: First, the right to promenade the halls when so inclined; second, to have midnight feasts when¬ ever a box comes from home; third, to the Junior boys the privilege of hav¬ ing a date every six weeks, and fourth, the awed respect and half-fearful esteem which we during our reign as Seniors have commanded from pupils and Faculty alike. Item II. To the Fourth Class we do will two more years of strenuous labor. Also we do leave to said class the privilege of leading the Seniors of 1920 into trouble by instigating a boycott on April 1st, of next year, well knowing that said Fourth Years must have some fitting way in which to celebrate on their own particular day. Item III. To the Third and Second Year Classes we do gracioush leave the privi¬ lege of heeding not when Professor Schoen makes his dail} plea, “Now let us ‘journ’ in singing.” Furthermore, we do grant permission for said Second and Third Years to continue their unique custom of applauding when some distinguished guest prays in Chapel. Item IV. To President Gilbreath we do bequeath our thanks for keeping us in the straight and narrow path. We also will to our beloved Uncle Sid the lead¬ ership of the Ukelele Club, hoping by such procedure to encourage the Hula- Hula spirit which we know is there. Furthermore we do leave to Uncle Sid the privilege of adding a sleeping porch to the presidential mansion, believ¬ ing that in so doing, he will, in time, become immune to the glare of certain Dormitory lights and sounds as of great rejoicing after 12 p. m. Item V. To the dearest old scout in the world, namely “See” Hodge Mathes, we leave our very best regards and our thanks for his willingness to listen to our love affairs, our disappointments, and our ideas as to how this Normal School should be conducted, the while he was doling out blue cards to show us how much we didn’t know. Item VI. To Professor Burleson we do will the right to substitute a new phrase Page Eighty-two OLD HICKORY for the old and time-worn one, “Clear the hallsalso a copy of Poe’s “Raven” to be read to his future classes until the Raven itself shall have passed into that land of Nevermore.” Item VII. To Professor Schoen we do leave a brand-new broomstick, the said broomstick to be used in beating time to “Jimmie Randall, My Son;” also a copy of the Lord’s prayer, to be given to said Professor Schoen, that it may be memorized by said gentleman, so that he may cease to be speechless and embarrassed when said prayer is repeated in assembly. Item VIII. To Professor Alexander, we do will and bequeath a book of psychologi¬ cal anecdotes, same to be used to impress the uninitiated with the width and breadth of the said Professor’s humor. We do also will to the aforemen¬ tioned gentleman the privilege of napping during assembly, provided he snoreth not. Item IX. To Professor Ina Yoakley we do leave a fund, a part of said fund to be used for paying students’ debts, thus relieving said Professor Yoaklev of the embarrassment of suggesting that—ab—er—y’know—that said debts ' be paid at the earliest possible convenience, and the remainder of the fund to be ex¬ pended for maps by means of which said Professor Yoakley may make divers imaginary journeys around the globe. Item X. To the Queen of the Mess, namely, Mrs. “Girlie,” we do hereby will enough onions for every meal, instead of for special occasions only. In ad¬ dition, we do leave to the aforementioned lady the privilege of blessin’ ’em out when they are late to onions. Item XI. To our Private Botanical Specimen, namely Professor Buice, we do, af¬ ter due consideration, bequeath the munificent sum of one dollar ($1.00) for faithful services rendered behind the bars—in the school post-office. Fur¬ thermore, we do grant our gracious permission for said Professor to con¬ tinue his playful custom of making all bugs turn pale when he appears on the campus. Item XII. To Professor X. Y. Rogers, we do grant permission to entertain classes by supplying answers to puzzles which cannot be answered. We also do will the said Professor the right to cast mathematical sarcasm broadcast throughout the Normal. Item XIII. To Professor Murat Ichabod Roberts, we do hereby give the right to continue his interesting discussion of “My Views Concerning the League of Nations” to his lady admirers in the cafeteria during lunch hour. In addi¬ tion, we do leave said Professor a small fund to be spent for the purpose of enlightening the ignorant public concerning “My Views.” Item XIV. To Miss Artistic Slocumb, we do bequeath an art room, artistically ar- Page Eighty-three OLD HICKORY ranged as to ha’mony, correct lines, ha’mony, good spacing, ha’mony, sim¬ plicity, and ha’mony. Item XV. To Heart-Breaker-Lady-Killer-Reece—That’s-Him-All-Over, we do grant permission to look Pretty or Bust, so help him Buffalo Bill. Item XVI. To our efficient Librarian, Miss Taylor, we do bequeath the right to be¬ come librarian in a School for the Deaf and Dumb, hoping that by so doing the said Miss Taylor may have absolute quiet at all times. Item XVII. To our Fargo Acquisition, namely, Professor Q. B. Absolutely Bingman, we do bequeath permission to shoot ’em with an idea which “works like a charm.” Item XIX. To our Side Show, namely, Dorth Kil, we do give permission to leave the campus when she so desires. Furthermore, we do give permission to the aforesaid Dorth Kil to take upon herself the responsibility of being Faculty Critic, trusting that said damsel will endeavor to fill this position to the best of her ability. Item XX. To Conductor P. Kipping we do will a rustic bench, located in some ob¬ scure place beyond the watchful eyes of the Faculty, where said P. Kipping may “spark” to his heart’s content. Item XXI. Now that our death knell has been sounded, we take our departure with good feeling toward all, and with hopes that the school will soon receive a blessing from the labors of the class of 1919. Item XXII. We do hereby will and direct that this our last will and testament be executed by: (1) Clark_Vice-President and Critic. (2) Mat_Campus Cop. In witness whereof we, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Nine¬ teen do set our hand and seal on this, the fourth day of June, nineteen hun¬ dred and nineteen. Lawyer: HELEN BROWDER.

N. of nineteen hundred and nineteen have made our last will and testament, we do, by this writing, which we do declare to be a codicil of said will and taken as a part thereof, give and bequeath the following: 1. I, Leota Williams, do will to the Hale twins the right of flirting with Prof. Roberts. 2. I, Tom McMurray, do leave my brass and ability to talk on any sub- Page Eighty-four OLD HICKORY ject without touching the point to the whole student body, trusting that all will appreciate said gift. 3. We, the Heavenly Twins—namely, Anne Huddle and Lorna White- side, do grant permission for any serious-minded student, who desires in¬ spiration, to stroll around “Rotten Row” during lunch period on Wednes¬ days and Saturdays. 4. We, Babs Haire and Yetta Hecht, do bequeath to others so inclined, our privilege of “peeving” Paul Kipping by having a daily heated debate as to whether we shall “get off” at the corner or ride our nickle’s worth. In witness hereof we do set our hand and seal on this the fourth day of June, nineteen hundred and nineteen. HELEN BROWDER DAWSON KING GERTRUDE McDAVID.

Page Eighty-Eight OLD HICKORY Inside Hope Mr. Schoen: “For some time I have been trying to get a record of Mr. Alexander’s voice raised in song.” Pupil: “Why is that so difficult?” Mr. Schoen: “It is due to his originality. He never sings a song the same way twice.” Prof. Bingman, blushing furiously, seemed to think it necessary, the other morning, to make the following explanation to his Methods class as he drew from his coat collar a very long blond hair: “The wind is respon¬ sible for this; I am not.” Mitchell: “There’s a big mystery abroad!” Moody: “What is it?” Mitchell: “Chemistry.” Miss Huff: “Have you read the Knickerbocker History of New York?” Paul Kipping: “No, I am not interested in these reports of the clothing trade.” Miss Yoakley: “Blanche, define a vacuum.” Blanche Range : “I can’t exactly express it, but I have it in my head.” Mr. Burleson: “Miss Love, what is the broadest subject in the 8th chap¬ ter of Genesis ?” Evelyn: “The flood; it covered the whole world.” Prof. Alexander was visiting a Music Class. Mr. Schoen played on the Victrola, “Darling, I Am Growing Old.” Mr. Schoen: “Class, is that a man’s voice or a woman’s?” Mr. Alexander: “A man’s voice.” Mr. Schoen: “How do you know?” Mr. Alexander: “Because no woman would ever admit that she is grow¬ ing old.” Leota: “All extremely bright people are conceited.” Prof. Roberts : “Oh, I don’t know; I’m not.” He had just proposed to Anne. “No,” she said, “I cannot marry you. The man I marry must be a grand man, upright and square.” “My dear girl,” he said, “you don’t want a man; what you want is a piano.” Page Ninety OLD HICKORY Little Sid: “Norma, I can trade last with you.” Norma: “Oh, Sid, what is it?” Sid: “Some one said the other day that you were the flower of the family.” Norma (delighted) : “Oh, how sweet of them!” Sid: “Yes, wasn’t it? They said that you were the flower of the family, the blooming idiot.” Mrs. Gurley was absent from the dining hall and Mr. Burkhart asked the following blessing: “Oh Lord, we thank Thee for our many sins. Sanctify them to the com¬ fort of our bodies and forgi-ve this food, for Christ’s sake, Amen.” Tom McMurray’s Petition to President Gilbreath: “It is requested that the young men shall have the privilege to call on the young ladies at the dormitory, whose conduct shall be that of gentlemen, and if not they shall be deprived of such.” Mr. Bennett: “Tell me, Irene—that young man that wants to marry you this Christmas ; has he any money?” Irene: “Money, father? Why he has given me a cluster diamond ring set in platinum.” Mr. Bennett: “Yes, I know. Bias he any left?” Little Edly Rogers was boasting: “My father and I know everything in the world,” said he to his companion. “All right,” said the latter, “where is Asia?” It was a stiff question; but Edly answered coolly: “That is one of the questions my father knows.” Prof. Burleson: “I maintain that newspaper English is entirely too slangy.” Dawson King: “Now you’re tootin’, Purfesh. We’ve been trying to tie a can to this slangy stuff, but the news ginks don’t give a hoot about the high-toned lingo.” Dean Mathes : “What things have we gotten out of the war, Dorothy?” Kil.: “Cooties, the Flu, and Prohibition.’ Miss Baxter: “It seems funny, Mr. Bingman, that you are still sin¬ gle. I fear that you are something of a woman hater.” Mr. Bingman: “No, indeed, it is to avoid becoming one that I remain single.” Tom had tried on the helmet. “And what is that strap under the chin for?” asked Mac. “To rest my lower jaw on after answering silly questions,” replied Tom. Page Ninety-one OLD HICKORY Teacher (to Sunday-school class) : “Now boys, in placing your offering on the plate, I want each of you to recite some appropriate verse ’ Stephen (placing a penny on the plate) : “He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord.” John: “God loveth a cheerful giver.” George Mathes (reluctantly) : “A fool and his money are soon parted.” Mrs. Gurley (rather timidly) : “Isn’t fourteen cents rather high for tur¬ key ? I am sure the price across the way is only thirteen.” Butcher: “With the feet on?” Mrs. Gurley: “No, I think the feet are cut off.” Butcher: “I thought so, Madam; when we sell a turkey we sell it feet and all.” Marie’s head was pillowed on his breast, and looking up in a shy way she said: “Do you know, dear George, that—” “You mean dear James, I think,” he interrupted, smiling fondly at her mistake. “Why, yes, to be sure. How stupid I am. I was thinking this was Wednesday evening.” Laura Reece (going up in elevator in Miller’s Store in Knoxville)— “Conductor, what if the rope breaks that holds us?” Conductor: “Oh, there are a number more that are attached as safety ropes.” Laura: “But if they all break where shall we go.” Conductor: “Oh, well, m’m, that all depends upon what kind of a life you have been living before.” (And Laura faints at the thought.) It is related that a chronic office-seeker died a few years ago and his friends asked a well-known journalist for an epitaph for his tombstone. The journalist suggested the following, which was not, however, adopted: “Here lies John Jones in the only place for which he never applied ' Unfortunately for Mr. Alexander, Mr. Schoen was having his Music Class in the room just opposite. The song, which was, “Scotland’s Burning, Scotland’s Burning,” had been sung lustily for the past hour. Prof. Alexan¬ der was exasperated. In a few minutes Prof. Schoen was surprised by the following: “For God’s sake, Schoen, send for the fire department and shut up that noise.” Barbara Haire (at the Model School) : “And just think, this happened four hundred years ago.” Model Pupil (his eyes open wide with wonder) : “Gee, what a memory you’ve got.” Page Ninety-two OLD HICKORY POPULAR SONGS AT THE DORMITORY 1. Feed the baby onions so you can find him in the dark. 2. While peeping through the knot-hole in father’s wooden leg. 3. Will Spearmint hold its flavor on the bedpost over night? 4. Now that the war is over where will the cootie go? 5. Johnnie get the hammer, there’s a fly on the Baby’s nose. Mr. Prince, on taking a check from Anne Huddle, said: “What denom¬ ination, please?” “Methodist,” she replied, “what are you?” Graham: “If the Mississippi is the Father of Waters, why don’t they call it Mistersippi?” “Here,” said Dean Mathes, “is a penny three hundred years old. It was given to me when I was a boy.” “Hully Gee,” said little Ralph, “just think of any one keeping a penny that long.” Helen Lacy: “Why do words have roots?” Dean Mathes: “To make the language grow, my child.” Editor: “Er, Smith, I want you to order a ton or so of new type—z’s, y’s, and x’s. They are starting a new war in Russia.” “McMurray,” said his room-mate; “what is psychology?” “Psychology, my friend is a word of four syllables that you ring in to distract attention when the explaining gets too diffiicult.” WANTED: By Eleanor Moore: Some Cabbage.

Page Ninety-three OLD HICKORY helpful HINTS The style of wearing the hair over the ears is considered very injurious. We know of a young lady, who, after wearing her hair that way for a month became so deaf that she couldn’t hear her mother calling her to come into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Never cut your corns with the lawn-mower. We have known many a good lawn-mower to be ruined that way. To cure an ingrowing toenail carefully place the toe under a trip ham¬ mer and pull the lever. A permanent cure will be effected in one trip. Carbolic acid will remove freckles if not too deeply seated. Rainwater is good for warts. Hold the finger or thumb containing the wart in a bucket of rainwater all night and the wart will be three times as big in the morning. It is said that a good Jazz Band will cure the most stubborn case of sleeping sickness in Jig Time. To hone a razor, wrap it in a piece of brown paper and then hand the razor to some reliable barber, with these words: “Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo, Hone my razor, will you Bo? Make it sharp as it can be, Then return the same to me.” How to remove grease spots : Load your grease spot on a moving van and have it hauled to the reduction plant.

On the fly-leaf of the book may be found this inscription: “To Miss Nellie Cooper, with the complEments of the author.” President Gilbreath received in a letter from a prospective student the other day a two-cent postage stamp which was, the writer said, “to use on his reply to her.” Always strictly business-like, President Gilbreath wrote, we have learned, to that student asking her to please forward a one-cent stamp at once.” We have learned, through a confidential friend, that Miss Yoakley does not always kneel by her bedside when she says her prayers. It is a fact to be regretted that we are in need of evangelistic work among the faculty. The trip of the Girls’ Basket-ball Team to Maryville proved a very ex¬ citing experience for all those who went. Miss Macbrair had a wild time in general and the successful chaperoning of the aforesaid body completely occupied the time of the nine conscientious girls who accompanied her. Miss Schuh and Lieut. Reece proved somewhat unruly on the trip, but with the exception of a few breaks managed not to disgrace the crowd. Lieut. Reece would eat gravy at the restaurant at Greeneville with a spoon and in¬ sisted that his order should include one-half dozen onions. Although it was raining in Knoxville, we questioned Miss Schuh’s judgment in accepting from a strange man on the street an umbrella, which she never expected to return. Also, we question the propriety of both Miss Schuh and Miss Mac¬ brair in conversing, in the parlors of the Hotel Atkin, with two strangers, who, in the course of their conversation, proved to be circus managers and undertook to explain to the aforesaid ladies how much more fascinating it would be to stand on one toe in fluffy, spangled skirts, and jump through hoops than to teach school.

We have cherished ambitions and have seen our aspirations and ideals fade into a misty haze of disappointment. The shortcomings of the book are much more poignant to us than to you, for it is we, who, unable to improve, realize the mediocrity of some of its contents. We wish to express our thanks to those who have helped to make this book a reality. To President Gilbreath and Dean Mathes, whose kindly criticism has enabled us to see our faults, and to those who have made our task less difficult by their contributions, we are deeply grateful.
