Of course the prescribed work we have had, and the elective courses we have chosen have taught us some things worth while. But, after all are these the things that will mean most to us? No, we believe not. Our four years here have taught us joy of just plain living. Of course we were glad to be alive before but we did not know how to live in order to get the most joy out of life—Do you know how? The answer is SERVICE. We have labored hard; and for what end? In order that we may go forth into the world in service. We are prepared to begin a career, the greatest career of all—that of making one hundred per cent Americans of our pupils. We are beginning the huge task of making boys and girls into worth while men and women. Is there a greater service for mankind, for America, for ourselves? Is not this then the plain joy in being alive and being able to do those things? The doctor has his mission in life, the preacher his, and the lawyer his niche to fill. These are the three professions we hear most about. Of all these, the doctor gets most joy out of living because he most nearly approaches the goal of service. The teacher has more joy in living than either because he has gone beyond the realm of these three in work for others. He has reached into the heart of childhood—that is the joy of just plain living. —Mary Elsie White Page Twenty-two Page Twenty-three 3jTn iHemortam Wootson Samuel DeMarcus OCTOBER 24, 1898 NOVEMBER 15, 1925 Page Twenty-four CHARLES M.

Page Forty 7m Page Forty-one To Beauty Orin Marshall The snow descended softly down Upon the sleep-enamoured town And clothed it with the whitest gowns Of Winter ' s gay wardrobe: And when the sun ' s first peeping ray Announced the approach of purple day It hailed this city, bright and gay, The fairest on the globe. But this great city never thought To stop and see what Nature wrought: Those melting hues could ne ' er be bought As Turner ' s sacred art. The factory whistles far and near Emitting blasts both shrill and clear, Gave utterance to beauty ' s fear That soon it must depart. There lived within the city gates A goodly host who feared the Fates But hailed the presence of Nine Mates That ruled their cultured throng. Together on this god-sent morn They came with lyre and wooded horn, Through constant usage nobly worn , To chant this winter song. ' Way out across the fields of snow The white winged birds of winter go To rest on dappled beds below And purify the earth. Each little downy, icy flake That drifts on yonder frozen lake Is beautiful for its own sake, And full of happy mirth. The smoke that to the ground doth fly Should drift away into the sky For soiling smut will soon deny To us this perfect world. The velvet surface, blinding white, Will change its hue from pure daylight Into the murky gray of night And leave a dismal world. But tarnished streams of rusty smoke, Repulsive bits of coal and coke, Concealed the snow and wrapped a cloak About the city ' s yard. The chilly breezes bore away The ragged cloak of dingy gray — Resplendence now was black decay — Pale Beauty had no guard. The youthful city soon grew old, Within its veins clear blood ran cold: Without—a leaf of faded gold Still fluttered in the breeze. The dazzling morning ' s cheerful smile Remained to please the throng awhile But soon was lured by cunning guile To melt from blackened trees. Alone I stand in fields of snow: Afar I see the flitting glow Of my camp-fire. The brooklet ' s flow Where bright-eyed daisies grew. Ah! here I see in pure delight The spotless coat of frosty white Creep out to meet the dim twilight And blend in mellow blue. Along with darkness deepened gloom, The fading of the gentian ' s bloom And sealing of the evening ' s tomb Forever in the past. A thousand silent sounds of night Resounding through the fading light Are singing praises to the white Of evening ' s purple cast. The shadows swiftly come and go Gliding softly o ' er the snow Joining bleak winds as they blow Among the moaning trees. A lonely herald of the sky Greets the moon and passes by And soars away to wander high Among the daisied leas. Page Forty-two JUNIORS J. O. HARVILLE President Idol, Tenn.

That is the noblest of all arts.” It was with great care and accurate thinking that an architect planned the Parthenon. It was with equal care and exactness that workmen followed the architect’s plans in erecting the building. The hope of each was to see as a result of his labors a structure more nearly perfect than any previous one had been. These men proved themselves worthy of being builders. The building of a human character, by virtue of its far reaching influence, is of far greater importance than was the building of the Parthenon. To each of us is given this trust; yet failing to realize the importance and responsibility of such a privilege, we have become careless architects, careless builders. Charles Kingsley has said, “Grandeur consists in form, and not in size”, and to the eye of the philosopher, the curve drawn on a paper two inches long is just as magnificent, just as symbolic of divine mysteries and melodies as when embodied in the span of some cathedral roof. With this thought in mind we remember that each detail, each element of our daily lives, tends toward a final development—character. A thing of seemingly trivial importance may form a basic element and in the founda¬ tion for character growth. As the details are, so is the whole. True enough it is that the little things count. Just as the architect conceives the whole, then plans carefully each detail of a building, so it is necessary for us to determine our type of character, our goal, and build accordingly. When we feel that the cost of building worthy character is too great, it is well to remember that no beautiful edifice has ever been erected without cost. It is not intended that the character of all individuals should be the same except as each one tends toward something better, something finer, something greater. Individuality helps to make our character worth while. All buildings are not alike, neither are all characters except in their general plan. It is the ornamentation of a building that makes it beautiful, so with the differentiation of character. But in choosing these distinguishing details, we must choose those that have a purpose. Ruskin has said, “I would have, then, our ordinary dwelling-houses built to last, and built to be lovely; as rich and full of pleasantness as may be within and without: with such differences as might suit and express each man’s character, and occupation, and partly his history.” So may character be built! —Clara Rimmer Page Forty-eight Page Forty-nine SNAPSHOTS E.

Spring, with her wonders of life bursting forth after the winter of rest, will never cease to gladden the heart of man and quicken within him a desire to do—to conquer—to achieve. Especially to college students in the springtime of life does Spring bear a message of hope and promise. The world is fair with a two-fold radiance—the glory and freshness of the reviving season of greenery, and the beauty and hope of expanding life. Under Nature’s spell, with the inspiration and vitality infused and strengthened within us by our college associations during the past year, the future is flushed with the assurance of success; and confidently we turn from our beloved college halls to the broader fields of active life. No matter what the future may have in store for us, no matter what cloud may arise to darken the brightness of our aspirations, the sunny skies that have arched over us at E. T. S. T. C. will remain in our memory to bless our lives. The showers and sunshine, the sorrows and joys will but bring to full maturity our awakening abilities. And when the Autumn has come and the Harvest shall have been gathered in, may the joy felt in Life’s Springtime, now subdued but deep and serene, be sustained by an abundant fruitage. Then will the promise of youth be perfected in a fine reality of honorable achieve¬ ment. —Bonnie Matthews Page Fifty-four Page Fifty-eight Page Sixty Fourth Year Glass OFFICERS Etta Goodman . President L. A. Perry -.- Vice-President Wickam Atkinson ----- Secretary-Treasurer Although the Fourth Year Class is small and not much has been said of it during the year, no class in school has made greater contribution to the activities according to the number enrolled than has the Fourth Year Class. In addition to several having played an active part in various Literary Societies, two members of the class, Atkinson and Brawley, were Football letter men while Miss Goodman won the Basketball “T” and was elected alternate captain for ’27. Out of the total of thirteen members of the class four hail from West Virginia. A number of these students are carrying only a unit or two of high school work being well along in the Freshman year. With the passing of this class the Preparatory Department of the college will expire. It is hoped that this class may be represented one hundred per cent strong in the Freshman Class of nineteen twenty-six and seven.

The society has never boasted of quantity but is willing to match the quality of its membership against any other organiza¬ tion in the school. At the beginning of the fall quarter Mrs. McFee was chosen sponsor and the success of the organization is largely due to her efforts. Near the opening of the year, the society was saddened by the death of Wootson Samuel DeMarcus, one of its most active members. The society realizes that, with the passing of Mr. DeMarcus, its strength has been weakened on earth but that the membership of the society has been strengthened in the eternal world. During the spring quarter, the society entertained the two girls’ societies with a lawn party. This party was to have been held during the winter quarter, but was postponed for more favorable weather. The doors of the society are never locked to any man who has formerly been a member, or to men who realize the value of this type of training. The organization regrets very much to lose some of its most valuable members. Among these are Messrs. Morgan, Wallace, Archer, Berry, Garner, Matthews, and Sharp.

Miss Christine Burleson, a very enthusiastic member of the faculty was chosen as Sponsor. We have received both intellectual and social training during the year through the many interesting and varied programs and parties. We are closing the year with a large enrollment, the increase being due to the realization by the students that society membership is of as great importance as regular class work. We shall forget many of the text-book facts that we have learned, but we can never forget the training and the inspiration received during our associations in the Sapphonian Literary Society.

Vice-President Rollin Kennerly - - - - - Secretary-Treasurer Early in the fall quarter the students of the Science Department met and reorganized the Science Club which they had found by past experience was very helpful in science work. Through this club we learned valuable information on the scientific discoveries and experi¬ ments not recorded in our text books. This work is very important in keeping us in touch with the many changes in the progress of the present day science and the astonishing dis¬ coveries and inventions made by men in the various fields of science. The scientific dis¬ coveries play a great part in modern civilization and industry. Regular meetings have been held throughout the year and instructive programs have been prepared and given. Much inspiration has been given the club through the interest shown in the club by Professors Preston and Rowell. We realize we have a large field before us, and that success was never achieved in a day. We feel that if we continue our work as started that we will gain valuable information that will be of immense benefit to ourselves and to our fellow men. The members of the club are united in spirit and purpose: namely, gaining some knowledge of the vast possibilities of the scientific world, learning the effect of science on modern civilization, and getting a better appreciation of the services rendered mankind by the faithful scientists who have and are paving the way to industry and adding to the joy of living, many of them at the cost of their own lives.

This type of work has been neglected in the Teachers College and it is hoped that this, the first debating club of the institution will fill in this gap. The club has received several challenges for inter-collegiate debates, but has not accepted any because of in¬ experience, but with the experience of this year the club will put a strong team in the field next year. Much of the success of the club is largely due to the untiring efforts of the sponsor, Prof. W. B. Bible.

The girls’ club has been organized since the beginning of the fall quarter with a full membership of thirty practically all the time. The girls’ club has been a member of the State Federation of Music Clubs for several years. The State Federation met in Johnson City, April 6-9. The president, Margaret Madden; delegate, Mildred Lacey and alternate, Clara Rimmer attended most of the sessions. The club was recently admitted to the National Federation of Music Clubs. The Opera “Faust” was presented by the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs at the end of the spring quarter. This was one of the best productions ever put on by the clubs. Men’s Glee Club B. E.

Mason OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer Librarian With only about a dozen members in the Boys’ Glee Club they met twice a week with the Girls’ Glee Club, which has a much larger membership, for practice on the Opera “Faust.” The boys’ and girls’ glee clubs met jointly two hours each week in preparation of this opera. After the presentation of the opera at the college, it was presented by the combined clubs at Morristown and Bristol. The leading roles in this opera were played by Messrs. Marshall and King from the Men’s Glee Club. Page Seventy-nine THE CABINET Elizabeth Murphy - Margaret Madden - Elizabeth Atchley Iva Hicks - .

Harville Una Killian Election of Student Body officers is always an exciting event on the college campus at the beginning of the fall quarter, and this year was no exception. Only two officers were selected on the first ballot, the president and one member of the executive council. In all the other offices a “run- over” was necessary. Lewis Cobble was selected as a member of the ex¬ ecutive council but had to withdraw from school on account of the illness of his father. Miss Una Killian was elected to succeed him. The president of the student body and the members of the executive council meet reg¬ ularly with the Student Activities Committee.

Notwithstanding the fact that there were only thirty- eight boys registered in the school, nineteen of which was the maximum ever out for practice, the new coach, Mr. Robinson, rounded out a good team and won from some of the leading teams of this section. At tinges things looked gloomy in the Teachers camp, but at no time were things so gloomy as when they lost their right tackle, Wootson DeMarcus, who died of typhoid fever a short time before the season closed. Soon, however, Biggs and Sharp appeared on the gridiron for end positions, and by the sturdy and efficient leadership of acting captain “Tete” Boswell, the team was soon in running shape again. The first game of the season was at Bluefield, West Virginia. The Teachers played hard, and held the “Blue Devils” to a close score, but the result was a crippled squad which lost to Hiwassee one week later, the easiest team on the schedule 6-0. Soon the Teachers were rounded into shape for the next home game. The heavy weights of Mars Hill College were defeated to the tune of 20-6. The next game played at Lincoln Memorial University was one such as few southern teams has ever experienced. The gridiron was not lined off with white lines on a dark background, but with mud lines on a white surface of soft, velvety, damp, cool linoleum which was three inches thick at the beginning of the game and increased throughout the hour of battle. The linoleum soon became dilapidated and the gridiron was a slush of mud and ice water. The “Mountaineers” took this game 19-0. In the next game the Teachers sought revenge and got it. This game was played at home with Tennessee Wesleyan College. When the final whistle sounded the score was 19-0 in favor of the Teachers. This is the first time since athletic relations were established be¬ tween the two schools that the Teachers have been able to get away with the long end of the score. The last game away from home was with Lenoir-Rhyne College at Hickory, North Carolina. The work of the giant Sperlock at quarter, who carried the ball over Harvard’s goal line when they were defeated by Centre College in 1921 defeated the Teachers in this game. The final game of the season with Tusculum College was one which everybody looked forward to with interest. This was the game that was to decide the success or failure of the Teachers for the football season. This game played on the Saturday following Thanks¬ giving drew the largest crowd of the year. Tusculum’s entire student body was on hand to witness the game and support their team. In the first four minutes of play Tusculum registered seven points and the game began to look favorable for them. But in a few minutes the score was tied by a pass from Boswell to Biggs. In a few more minutes the Teachers succeeded in adding seven more points to their score making the count 14-7. Now the battle was on for sure. Several times the visitors threatened to score but each time they were held for downs by the “fighting” Teachers. It was in the last few minutes of play that Tusculum opened up their aerial attack which the Teachers were unable to break up. Another touch¬ down by Tusculum gave them a chance to tie the score. Spectators stood breathless while the visitors attempted to kick. But the kick went wild and so did the entire faculty and student body of the Teachers College. Tusculum was defeated by the narrow margin of one point, the score being 14-13. In the evening an elaborate banquet was given by the faculty in the col¬ lege dining hall in honor of the football men. About two hundred students and ' alumni of the school attended. Tete Boswell was unanimously elected captain by the letter men to guide the destinies of the Teachers in 1926. Clifton Humphries was chosen first alternate captain with Clark second alternate. Aside from Wallace and Sharp who will graduate this year all the letter men will be back next year. With this e xperienced material as a nucleus, Coach Robinson expects to build up a team capable of competing with the strong teams which he has on his schedule for 1926. J.

Although a large percentage of games were lost, we feel that, by winning from some of the strongest teams, such as Lenoir-Rhyne, Tusculum, and some other good teams, and by running a close race with the other colleges of such reputation, that our season was a great success. With Mooney and Thornburg, letter men of last year, Coach soon located C. Humphries of King College; Sharp, an old Normal man; J. Humphreys; Simmons; Odell, of Johnson City. Much credit is due the reserves. A banquet was given by the faculty in honor of both teams in the College Cafeteria at which letters were awarded for the year. Captain Mooney was re-elected captain and Jess Humphreys was chosen alternate captain for ’27. LINE-UP—VARSITY J. Humphreys, g. Sharp, g. Odell, g. Marshall, f. Mooney, c. RESERVES Mason, f.

Page Ninety-six Page Ninety-seven SOLTAP -1926 Girls’ Basketball “Many were called, but few were chosen”—and we might add that the few were well chosen. About twenty-eight girls responded to the invitation to go out for basketball this year. Everybody practiced hard and were delighted with the choice of the first team. Our team, while not so lucky this season, fought hard and proved themselves good sports by re¬ ceiving graciously, defeat and victory alike. Each girl fought for her team and for the school with as much enthusiasm as any championship team might have done. The student body and faculty deserve highest praise for the splendid backing that they gave the team at all times, and it was their sportsmanship and loyalty that helped to keep the fight in the team in the face of defeat. Enough cannot be said about the “scrubs.” The successes that were ours could never have been accomplished had it not been for their faithfulness, for a team “isn’t any better than its substitutes.” The second team was composed of Misses Taylor, Zeigler, Hays, Ross, Kendall, Morrison, and Cook. To Miss Krepps should go the greatest honor, for it was her hard work, sympathetic kindness, and excellent coaching, both as to team and individual, that made our team. We are expecting her to put out the champions of the South in the near future; and here’s to her success and to that of the future teams of E. T. S. T. C. Paae Ninetv-e ' iaht Page Ninety-nine Page One Hundred Baseball With six letter men: Mooney, Phillippi and Gamble of last year’s squad and Alexander, Garner and Sharp of former years to start with, Coach Robinson faced the problem met with in football and basketball—that of developing a team out of practically new material. The game with King College which was played previous to the time this goes to press gave Coach a chance to see the weak points in his team and to try out some new material. Prospects now pointed toward the strongest team that has ever been put out by the school. After two weeks practice, the letter men met and elected Garner captain and Alexander alternate captain. Emory Sharp has been selected as manager by the Stu¬ dent Activities Council. Although it is not as yet certain who will make the team the following are bid¬ ding fair to a berth on the first string: Grubb, Sharp, C. Humphries, Bralley, Garner, Mooney, Alexander, Phillippi, Crouch, McBee, Kennedy, Gamble, Davis, O’Dell, Weatherby, Bolinger, Acuff.

Practically all the men who are not out for baseball are striving for a place on the tennis team. The team will be determined by an elimination tournament. Manager Yoakum does not have the schedule com¬ plete as this goes to press but it is probable that Tusculum, Maryville, Carson- Newman, and Lincoln Memorial University will be played before the season closes.

The Girls’ Varsity Club is the first of its kind in the history of the school. Although the club is new, it will be, in the years to come, one of the leading organizations of the school, being built up year by year by those winning the varsity “T.” The aims of the club are to create enthusiasm and to promote clean sports¬ manship among the girls of the school. The aim of each individual member is to always be a sport. Charter members are those wearing the “T” of ’26. Louise Henry.

As usual he was making his share of social blunders. Finally when they were seated next to the table his wife nudged him and said: “Frank, where are your manners?” “Why—er—they must be in the wash. I’m sure I changed them this morning.” “Why does President Sherrod seem so partial to Dr. Porter?” “Because he is the only person in school who isn’t taking a correspondence course to become president.” Professor Preston:—“What can you tell me about nitrates?” Helen Pierce—“Well—er—they’re a lot cheaper than day rates.” Miss Young gave notice to the president that she was going to get married. President Sherrod slightly perturbed said: “Of course I don’t want to put any obstacles in your way, but I wish it were possible for you to postpone it until I can get another secretary.” Miss Young:—“But I can’t. I haven’t known him long enough to ask him to put it off.” Mooney:—“You’ve got a bad cold.” Sharp:—“Yep.” Mooney:—“How’d you get it?” Sharp:—“Slept in a field last night and someone left the gate open. “Have you got a Charles Dickens in your home?” asked the polite agent. Bill Mathes:—“No.” “Or a Robert Burns?” Bill:—“No.” “Or a Gene Field?” Bill:—“No, we don’t and what is more we don’t run a boarding house. You might try the house across the street.” Bonnie Shell:—“Please, conductor will you help me off this train?” Conductor:—“Certainly, Miss.” Bonnie:—“You see it’s this way: being rather stout I have to get out backwards—the porters think I’m getting in so they give me a shove and say, ‘Hurry up Miss, I’m five sta¬ tions past where I want to go’.” Page One Hundred Eleven Jokes Prof. Rowell:—“No, my father wasn’t exactly a policeman, but he went with them a great deal.” HOW WE LIKE JONESBORO St. Peter (to applicant)—“Where are you from?” Mr. Morrison:—“Jonesboro.” St. Peter:—“Come on in, but I don’t think you’ll like it.” HOSPITALITY Coach Robinson (attending revival)—“Put your money back in your pocket Phillippi, this is on me.” Wallace:—“My razor won ' t cut at all.” Anne:—“Why Wallace, you don’t mean to say your beard is tougher than the oil cloth I cut with it this morning, do you?” “Sorry to wake you”, said Jess Humphreys to Professor Field, “but there is a window open in your house.” “Which one?” inquired Mr. Field. “The one you’re looking out of. Good night.” Dean Burleson:—“What’s become of your hired man?” Coach Robby:—“He used to be a chauffeur and he laid down under a mule yesterday to see why he wouldn’t go.” RETALIATIONS Mr. Berry:—“My wife got me a box of cigars for a Christmas present, but I’ll get even with her yet.” Garner:—“What will you do?” Berry:—“I’ll select her next hat.” FIDO’S POWERFUL KICK During Students’ Day, Alexander and Phillippi were doing some plumbing for Profes¬ sor Bible. “Have you any alcohol”, asked Frank, “to clean these pipes with?” Mrs. Bible:—“No, but we have some old whiskey.” “Just the thing”, remarked Phillippi, winking at Alexander. A while later, Mrs. Bible returned w T ith this question, “Did the whiskey do the work?” “Splendid, full of kick ' ’, replied Phillippi. Mrs. Bible:—“I’m so glad. We did not need it any longer. Mr. Bible had just washed his bird dog in it.” Hettie:—“Has Kate changed much?” Sarah:—“She thinks so.” Hettie:—“How so?” Sarah:—“She’s always talking about what a fool she used to be.” Mr. McLin:—“Are you sure it was a marriage license you gave me a year ago?” Clerk:—“Certainly, sir. Why?” Mr. McLin:—“Because, I’ve been leading a dog’s life ever since.” Mr. McFee:—“The idea of letting your wife go around and tell people that she made a man of you. You never hear my wife talking like that.” Mr. Carson:—“No, but 1 heard her tell my wife that she had done her best.” Only one man, when in love, ever told the truth. That was Adam when he said, “Eve, you are the only woman in the world for me.” Page One Hundred Twelve DOSSER ' S “T he W o m a ns Store ” We Solicit Your Patronage Accounts Gladly Opened to Normal Students Always the Best We Have Is Yours Ask to see our New Summer Frocks of Broadcloth, Printed Crepes, Georgettes, Voiles in all the bright new shades and priced very reasonable Lovely Dresses for the Girl Graduate WHEN YOU CALL, WE SHALL TAKE SPECIAL PLEASURE IN SHOWING YOU THE HART AND HOUSTON STORE Compliments of SOUTHERN ICE CREAM CO., Inc.
