Maiie Bennett is a happy divorcee in Havana; by the way, a society belle, too. Calvin Stanley has lost his voice and is writing orations for publication. Julia Parvin is serving her second term in the State Legislature. Mary Snoddy has her winter studio in Florida. This is the latest fad among artists. Dove Hazlewood is the possessor of a happy home in West Tennessee. Vera Gresham is Editor-in-Chief of the Chattanooga Times. Bethany Mackey is in Europe. Josephine Foute is teaching home economics, since early in life she learned to say “no. Chassie Pates is the most popular coach in the South. Dora Huddle is the Superintendent of the schools of Johnson City, Tennessee. Edna Daniels is the pastoress of a little church in New England. Leonard Garner is a prominent contractor. , The last letters fade into nothingness and I can read no more. 29 30 Mentor Home economics Claris; Mrs. Ada Earnest, Teacher Miss Edna Cox, Teacher Dove Hazlewood Julia Parvin Vera Gresham Marie Bennett Bethany Mackey 31 4 jfflltbble $ear Class Class Motto: We’ve crossed the hills; the mountain is in view.

Not Seniors bearing high honors; not members of the middle- year class with the happy anticipation of sitting in the exalted seats of another year, but we belong to that class of pilgrims who have only reached the hills— Juniors. We are not yet out of reach of the valley, but our motto is “Excelsior.” We have only started to ascend the heights. Soon we shall be treading the trail over which so many have trod before us. We know that ours is a long, steep, rocky way: “ Down hills and up steep mountains And oft we ' ll drink from muddy streams For the want of some clear fountains.” On either side there are deep and dangerous precipices into which many have fallen. There are deep chasms over which we must cross. Many have been swal¬ lowed up in their effort to pass over and no doubt many others will share the same destiny. But we are determined to look neither to the right nor to the left, and when the deep chasms obstruct our way we will bridge the gulf and cross in safety. We shall never rest until the summit is reached. To the fourth year class we give our places for another year. We believe we have made a record that you may be proud to follow. We have labored whole¬ heartedly. We have done our best. As we give to you our places we wish to ad¬ monish you to never falter, but as you pass from the work you have finished to higher achievements, put youi all into your efforts and you cannot but be crowned with success. 40 Crrtifiratr itouroir 41 Certificate Claete OFFICERS Kathryn Crumley.

With her active and wide-awake cabinet and committee members, everything undertaken has been a success. The co-operation of the faculty, especially Miss Yoakley and Miss Anderson, has been very gratifying. Our first aim is, “ Every girl in the dormitory a member of the Y. W. C. A.” By this means we bring the gills into closer relationship with each other and make the work of the Association a real force in their lives. We have an attractive reading room to which we have added this year, new rugs and curtains, and also new books and magazines. This room serves as a safety valve for the girls when they are lonely and dispirited; for here they are sure of a quiet and restful hour where they can read and forget the cares and wor¬ ries incident to school life. On the Science floor of the administration building we have a store which is managed by the Y. W. C. A. girls, the proceeds of which help in the maintenance of the Association. Mind! Spirit! Body! The three-fold life. The blue triangle means to us the development of the three sides of our nature. The Young Women ' s Christian Association stands for this, and our organization here seeks to inspire each girl with a determination that she will at all times live by this motto. We hope this year ' s work will be but a stepping stone to higher and loftier Y. W. C. A. ideals for those who follow us in this great work. 52 m I 53 ®fie ©. JH. C. a. T HE Young Men ' s Christian Association has a three-fold purpose: the devel¬ opment of the mind, and the body, and the soul. It trains young men so¬ cially, physically and morally; the highest aim being the development of the moral and Christian side of life. In every school and college there is a tendency among young men to neglect the Christian side of their lives, and some even go so far as to doubt the Christian religion. The Y. M. C. A. stands for a high moral and re¬ ligious standard for the development of real manhood and character. The Y. M. C. A. of this school was organized during the winter term of 1917-18. Since that time it has occupied a prominent place among the activities of the school. It has been a large factor in the development of the high moral standard of the young men who have gone out to become leaders in the various parts of the coun¬ try. Since its organization the Y. M. C. A. has had the hearty support of the faculty and Christian leaders of the city. The work this year has been excellent. We have had good interest and fine programs at almost every meeting thruout the year. In connection with our regular work we have teen favored with splendid lectures from various members of the faculty. One lecture which was especially interesting was given by Pro¬ fessor Charles A. Robeson. He related the story of a young man who was given an efficiency test by his instructor in college. The following questions were asked: 1—Are you physically sound? 2— Can you do mental labor without fatigue? 3— Are you an exact mathematician? 4—Do you have any bad habits? 5—Would you be willing to employ yourself in a business? 6—Are you quick to see and take advantage of a business opportunity? 7—Are you in debt; if so, how did you get there, honestly? 8—Do you have extravagant habits of dress? 9—Can you secure good letters of recommendation from men who know you? 10— How much money have you earned; how did you earn it? The boy graded 100%. When he told his aged father of this the old man said he had five questions to ask him: Are you a Christian; if so would you be at the loss of money? 2—Do you have some cause of humanity at heart? 3—Are you as active in some church as you are in the making of money in the business world? 4—Do you read the Bible daily? 5—Are you planning to do a man ' s part in the world of citizenship? The boy hung his head in shame. He could not pass. This, with many other good lectures, has been appreciated by the Y. M. C. A. this year. Tho we have had wonderful success this year, we hope for even greater suc¬ cess in the future. We feel that the young men of the Normal School would ap¬ preciate more fully the opportunities offered thru the Y. M. C. A., and would be more eager to become members if they could realize the great force of this move¬ ment thruout the world. He who fails to receive the training of the Y. M. C. A. fails to receive that which will better enable him to meet the problems of life and to render the fullest service to humanity. A. P. Farrar . President Calvin Stanley . Vice-President W. G.

It is this spirit of loyalty and comradeship that has been largely responsible for the splendid success of the society. There are many things for which the society has been noted this year. Our enrollment is the largest of any organization of the Normal School. This society has secured favorable representation in all social activities of the school. A com¬ paratively large percentage is enrolled in the Normal courses. We have been for¬ tunate in obtaining unusually good talent in our new members this year—both musical and literary. The programs have been up to a high standard, showing preparation on the part of those participating. The “Saphs” are dominated by the ideal that the literary society is one of the most important organizations in the school, and that this work is worthy of the best effort of the members. We close the year ' s work proud of the accomplished results and leave a strong foundation for those who are to resume the work of the future. Many former members of this society have gone forth inspired with the ideals of service to bless the world. We are proud of the record that they have made. We know that the Sapphonians will use, at every opportunity, their motto “ Service. 57 59 $e talo tan Htterarp ocietj r I A HE Pestalozzian Literary Society was organized in 1911 with eleven members. A 1921 finds this society only ten years of age with a membership of thirty- seven, and one of the most influential organizations of the school. Many of its first members have already made their mark in the educational world and scores of its later members will be heard from in the future. Early in the fall the society met and elected its officers for the Fall Term. Under the splendid leadership of the officers the work was carried on in an efficient and beneficial way. The members of the society co-operated with the leaders in an admirable way. All the programs were well planned and were rendered equally as well. The greatest program of the Fall Term was given in the main auditorium of the administration building. The speakers were well prepared and full of “pep,” and, needless to say, the audience manifested great interest by giving undivided attention. The Fall Term closed with each member at his post ready to do whatever the new term should bring forth. At the beginning of the Winter Term the society met and elected its officers for the term. At the first meeting the society had an increase of six members. From the very first the programs were interesting and instructive. The new officers showed a high sense of duty. The members were enthusiastic and always ready to do their part on any program at any time. The Pestalozzians had the honor of being entertained in a most delightful way by their sister society, the Sapphonians at the last of the term. At present we are at the end of a prosperous term of the society, looking for¬ ward to the Spring Term which promises to be the greatest in the history of the Pestaloz zian Literary Society. We challenge any Society of boys in any Nor¬ mal School in the South on debating. We have boys in our society who are capa¬ ble of being leaders anywhere that leadership is necessary. We end by saying, “Hurrah! for E. T. N. and the Pestalozzian Literary Society.” 60 61 $t i§ tgma Founded 1912 Colors: Green and White Motto: Quality, not Quantity Flower: White Rose Fall Term President .Mary Loomis V.-President . .Anna Reams Secretary .Amelia Slack OFFICERS Winter Term Spring Term Elizabeth Dogget Amelia Slack Zelma Burke Josephine Foute Irene Keebler Carrie Rodgers Marie Bennet Zelma Burke Effie Depew Elizabeth Doggett Eudora Edington Josephine Foute Dora Ford Mary Goodner Elizabeth Gore ROLL CALL Emma Sue Hale Irene Keebler Florence Kilpatrick Mary Loomis Bethany Mackey Lucille Moulton Mrs. Pemberton Anna Reams Louise Reams Carrie Rodgers Mary Snoddy Amelia Slack Esther von Bockern Mary Mac Waller Lenoir Weeks Myrtle Hodges Johnye MacMurray Beatrice Corpening Sponsor —Miss Pearl Bennet HONORARY MEMBERS Evelyn Gilbreath Miss McClellan 62 63 iltsitorp of )t ennes ee Out) Officers: Ollie E.

Windes Our Motto: Know Tennessee T HE Tennessee Club was organized January 10, 1921, for the benefit of the students in the Normal School who are going to teach in Tennessee. One of the first requisites of a good teacher is to know the environment where he is to work in order that he may administer to the needs of the people. A Tennessee school teacher has many problems coming up from day to day that may be antici¬ pated and, to a certain extent, solved in advance, if he knows the characteristics of the people with whom he is dealing. Then, too, in the long days that are to come, when teachers leave their Alma Mater and take up the duties of life in the school room, it should be a source of eternal joy to know that they are working for one of the most beautiful as well as one of the wealthiest states in the Union. How many people know, and appreciate the fact, that Tennessee is a little world of its own? Let earthquakes come, war, or any other great force that might shut us off from the outside world, and Tennessee could live on and be happy. We have mountain scenery in the state that equals any in the world. In mineral wealth no other state can boast of such a variety. The politics, religion, geog¬ raphy, and agricultural possibilities are worth knowing, not only of the state as a whole, but of each county in the State. The Tennessee Club has assigned itself the task of learning all the worth-while things about our state, in order that we, as teachers, may work more efficiently, and learn to love our people and our work in the State. We hope that Tennessee Club work will live on in the future as a part of the regular school work. 64 65 66 67 Bramattc Club Delia Taylor. .President Mary Snoddy. Vice-President Elizabeth Doggett.

N. have succeeded this year in organizing a permanent glee club. With the enthusiasm and interest of Mr. McFee, the director, the Girls ' Glee Club could not help being a success. From the day the club was or¬ ganized, September 23, 1920, the girls have been especially conscious of a spirit that pervades the organization as a whole. It is this spirit of co-operation and the excellent supervision of Mr. McFee that have been responsible for the splendid success of the glee club. The feature of the first term was an Indian operetta, The Feast of the Red Corn, by Paul Bliss, given on December 6th in the school chapel. This operetta proved to be a great success and showed most efficient work on the part of Mr. McFee and the girls. Mrs. McFee accompanied on the piano. Her work, the dances, the solo parts and the chorus work under Mr. McFee ' s direction displayed unusual ability. Other features which added to the success of the organization were the min¬ strel given in connection with the School Carnival and the annual open program given during the spring term. 72 73 jHen’g lee Club J.

This year she has been able to secure enough seasoned material to maintain her first football team. The team did not win all the games it played, but a team cannot always be judged by its defeats and victories. Out of six games played there were three victories for the Normal. For these victories much credit must be given to the splendid coach¬ ing of Professor Windes, and his assistants, Professor McFee and Professor Bible, and also to the hard work of the team. The season opened by a hard-fought game with the Johnson City High School team, which had been well trained in football tactics, and which defeated the Normal in their first game. In the next game we were able to spell V-I-C-T-O-R-Y over the Washington College team. The next game was the most exciting one of the season, which was played on our court against our neighboring school, Milligan College. Throughout the game many yells were given for the boys on the field. Each team hoped to be victorious, but when time came to end the game, the Milliganites were victorious. In the next game the Normalites defeated the Johnson City High School team. Our team climbed the ladder step by step until it met the strong giants of the Carson-Newman team. Of course the small team went down in defeat, but it did not discourage the Normal in the least. It only established the motto: “ We ' ll show them next year.” The season closed with a victorious game played with the Greeneville High School on Thanksgiving Day. A royal time was enjoyed by all. Coach Reece expects great things for the coming season, and schedule is now under way of preparation. Garner. Manager Robins on. Captain Windes. Coach POSITIONS Quillen, R. E. Meredith, R. G.

When it was announced that all girls interested in basket-ball should report to Miss Armburst, the coach, much enthusiasm was manifested by a number of yells given by the student body. From thirty to forty girls were out for the first practice. This meant that the coach was going to find it difficult to choose a team from such an extensive squad. However, as the evenings passed by, the group became smaller, and the situation presented itself in a different light, much to the satisfaction of the coach. After appearing on the court a few times for practice, the members of the prospective team began to differentiate themselves from the remaining aspirants by their celerity, skillful floor work and accuracy in shooting goals. The first game of the season was a very interesting game between Martha Washington and the E. T. S. N. girls. The Normal girls put up a hard fight throughout the game, but were not able to defeat the strong Martha Washington team. The second game was played between the Bristol “Y” girls and our girls on the Bristol Y. M. C. A. court. The next game was played at Abingdon, Virginia, against the strong Martha Washington team. The Normal girls showed much improvement over that of the previous games. Cloyd and Henson, the Normal forwards, played fast ball, but were held to a small score in the first half. O ' Neil and Ladd showed their strength and swiftness by holding the strong forwards of the opposing team to a few points. The coach of E. T. S. N. thought that her team could win the game by putting in her best player, Pates, but when the game closed and the official report was made, Martha had won. On the day following the Martha game, the E. T. S. N. girls were defeated by the Virginia High School team by a small score. The next game was the return game with the Bristol, Virginia, High School on the home court. Much strength had been added to the E. T. S. N. team since it had met Virginia High in the first combat. Owing to the added strength and swiftness, and the accuracy developed in goal shooting, the Normal came out victorious. It is expected that next year ' s basket-ball team will be more successful in winning games. Already plans are being made for a schedule for next year. 86 Snoddy. Manager Pates. Captain Armburst.

He showed himself an all-round coach by offering and putting into practice many tricks and signals which have meant victory to our team. During the spring term, Coach Reece skillfully directed the basket-ball team. We are proud to say that our basket¬ ball team this year has been recognized by the leading colleges of East Tennessee as being equal to the college teams of this section of the state. Out of the eighteen games that have been played, our team has lost eight. We are very fortunate, indeed to enter into the College League which is composed of the following col¬ leges: Emory and Henry, King, Tusculum, Carson-Newman, Maryville, Hi- wassee, Milligan and E. T.

Coach Reece, together with a few members of the school worked hard to secure a team that would cope with any of the colleges of this section of the state. We have plenty of good material in our college for base ball, and we are sure that when the season opens at the beginning of the next school term, several good players will appear on the field. Kermit Quillen, Albert Choate, Harwood, Porter and Cabbage have starred for the Normal. Two very pleasant trips have been made: one to Chattanooga and the other to Virginia. On our trip to Virginia, we played William King High School, Emory and Henry College and Tennessee High School. On our trip to Chattanooga we played Washington College, Carson-Newman College, and the University of Tennessee. Harwood Reece ... Manager . .. Coach 90 eb better at C ®. Jg. Sept. 20. School opens.

She stopped by the side of the dusty road to rest. As she was sitting there she saw a small black speck sailing just over her head. It came closer and closer, and finally alighted in the road by her side. It did not look like the aeroplanes she had seen, yet she knew it must be one. It was a large round object with tiny wings. As she was wondering what it was, a door opened and out stepped a queer little man. He was not over three feet tall. He had long white hair and a white beard. But his eyes were his most wonderful feature. Mary could not have told what color they were but they seemed to have magnetic power over her. After looking at her for a moment he beckoned to her, and she obediently followed him. Once inside the machine she found a very comfortable seat and the old man closed the door. A little coil of wire was glowing and gave out. a very bright light. The old man pushed a little button and they began to rise. Up, up they went until Mary became frightened very much. Then the old man opened up the sides of the ma hine and the cool air rushed in. Far below Mary could see a tiny round ball. “ Where are we, please tell me,” she begged. ' ‘We are going to Mars,” the old man replied, “and that little ball that you see is the earth.” Mary’s nerves gave way now and she began to cry. Then the old man turned his curious eyes on her and she became very quiet. The air became colder and colder, and Mary’s teeth were chattering. The old man noticed this and from a compartment drew out a light, filmy cloak which he threw over her shoulders. The coat was so light she hardly felt its weight, yet she was soon w r arm and able to breathe without difficulty. Suddenly she saw a large, glowing sphere. In a minute they had passed it and the heat almost scorched them. “Quite a close shave,” quoth the old man. “I never did go so close to the moon before.” In a very few moments they saw another very large sphere approaching. They came closer and closer to this sphere. A cold wind was blowing, which caused Mary to shiver, even wdth her magic cloak. Looking down she saw what seemed to be a world of snow and ice. But this was soon left behind and gradually the country changed and seemed covered with great forests. At last the old man closed the machine so that they would not become dizzy as the swift descent was made. He touched another button and down, down they shot. Finally they touched the ground and the old man opened the door and helped Mary out. She was in a curious world. Green fields were everywhere but grass like this she had never seen. The old man took her hand and led her down a winding path toward what seemed to be a pile of stones. A small door opened at the old man’s touch, and Mary found herself alone in a dimly lighted passage. She went down the passage hunting wildly for a door. Away in front of her she saw a faint glimmer of light. Eagerly she stumbled toward it. Following the glimmer of light she found herself on the outskirts of a little village. From rude 94 huts made of branches of trees came the people, the queerest people Mary had ever seen. Not a man or v cirrn was less than eight feet tall, and even the younger children were nearly as tall as Mary. Their hair was long and matted. They surrounded Mary gitlering and pointing at her. Mary soon wished heartily that she had never seen the dwarf or his machine. One hateful looking man, bolder than the rest, put out his hand and touched her. Mary screamed and darted away. The whole village started in pursuit. On, on she ran, her hair streaming across her shoulders. Looking back she saw that they were gaining on her. Sud¬ denly she stumbled— Mary Martin sat up and rubbed her eyes. Her basket of groceries was lying by her on the grass. The sun was nearly behind the hills. “I ' ve not been to Mars, after all, ,, she said thoughtfully. “It was only a hideous dream. ' ' —Jaunita Hall . ®!)t Cen Commanbments I.

He had no good “swear” words in his vocabulary, and having heard his father use certain words he proceeded to do likewise, “You—you—you little co-efficient of correlation— you.” Julia Parvin —“Dessie, what is a window?” Dessie Lee —“It is an orifice in an edifice for the purpose of transmitting light and air.” President Gilbreath —“Miss Anderson, why do you allow young men to call on the girls in the dormitory during study hours?” Miss Anderson— “ Because I have never learned to say ‘no’ to a gentleman.” Miss Slocumb —“What are you drawing, Mr. Garner?” Garner—“W hy, a dog.” Miss Slocumb —“But where is its tail?” Garner—“O h, that’s still in the ink bottle.” Mr. Taylor (in Society) was asked to tell a story. He introduced his story by saying, “As I am fond of birds I will tell the story about a ‘Cooing Dove’.” Prof. Windes —“Esther, what bird do you like best?” Esther —“Earl(y) Bird.” Pemberton —“Professor Field, these are the craziest questions I ever saw.” Prof. Field —“ I made the questions to fit the class.” Mrs. Gibson —“Give me a dozen stamps, please.” Clerk —“Yes’m.

No, it was not the difficulty of obtain¬ ing food, neither was it on account of the people being unable to possess sufficient clothing that caused this unhappiness. Women in silks and satins denied the fact as they played with diamond rings on their fingers. Prosper ous looking men in tailored suits walked down the streets whistling in low and mournful tones. Little children, looking like bright butterflies in their fresh dresses, played happily among the flowers. Neither was it their homes that caused the unhappiness. There were big houses and middle-sized houses; there were houses of stone, brick, and wood. No matter what kind of houses they were, the people loved their homes. When they spoke of them there was a tenderness and a love in their tone of voice that the ancient knights might have used in speaking of their gods. Then why were they so unhappy? At the mere mention of August or September, the happy smiles on the faces of the children gave way to a look of fear and almost terror. The parents would sadly shake their heads and say in toneless voices: “It must be; perhaps the next one won ' t be so bad. “From five to nine months out of each year, beginning with August or Sep¬ tember, each child from six to fourteen years of age must spend seven or eight hours each day, for five days out of each week, at the school house, said the King many, many years before, and the law had never been changed. School houses had been built, but not very many of them were either attractive or comfortable. It was not the house alone that caused the children to dislike going to school, for these houses were kept by fearful dragons, who kept school. From eight o ' clock until four the frightened children sat trembling while the dragon coiled in a chair behind the desk, and in a shrill voice demanded them to do all kinds of impossible things. Sometimes the dragon would ask the helpless children to tell what kind of wind was blowing on the other side of the world. Daily the poor, trembling pupils would be commanded to spell all kinds of meaningless words, and to reason out a number of unusual problems, using Arabic symbols instead of words, and the day would end with an order that each child, before he left the room, must tell of all the wars which had been fought from the beginning of time. Each cay was the same. The dragon sat behind the desk and hissed out the impossible riddles. Is it any wonder that the children were unhappy? The people kept clamoring for a change, but the King turned a deaf ear to all their entreaties. He did not seem to believe their stories, for the dragons ap¬ peared as ordinary men and women to him. It was very strange indeed, how these dragons looked like men and women outside the school, but just as soon as they put their feet inside the school houses they were immediately changed into the horrible dragons, but when they stepped out of the school houses they resumed their natural appea r ance. 101 Many times the people met and tried to decide upon some way to rid them¬ selves of the accursed dragons, but nothing could be done. At last a great brave knight declared unto the King that something must be done. The King expected him to ask for permission to slay all the dragons, but that was not his plan at all. ' ' Now most honored King,” said Knight Gilbreath, “allow me to suggest that we build a great hospital for all of these dragons. I believe that with the proper treatment they will become normal men and women, and remain so even in the school room. I know where just the needed physicians can be obtained.” Then bowing politely before the King, Knight Gilbreath walked out of the palace. The King called all of his wise men together and told them what the knight had said to him. It was several years before the wise men and the King could decide what to do. At last, in the year of 19C9, the wise men decided to establish at Johnson City the hospital for East Tennessee, and to furnish the money for its work, if Sir Gilbreath would manage it. Very soon the knight began his work. He brought many physicians from all parts of the country to aid him. Each of the doctors had a different remedy for converting these dragons into real men and women. Some of the different medi¬ cines used were: English, History, Geography, Literature, Psychology, Rural Education, Industrial Work, and Methods. At first many of the dragons were afraid to try the new treatment, and undeigo all the necessary operations, but after a few tried it and came from the Hospital completely cured, many other dragons came flocking to this Hospital which be¬ came known as the East Tennessee State Normal School. The people of East Tennessee are no longer sad and unhappy; they have learned to love the strong teachers, who are not only helping their children to grow into useful men and women, but who are giving valuable assistance in the various community activities.
