Kinch PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF EAST TENNESSEE STATE COLLEGE JOHNSON CITY, TENNESSEE mu iiiiiptiii ' i ¥4 M J ' V EARS of East Tennessee State College has grown vastly since its founding forty-five years ago. On the following pages, pairs of contrasting pictures of aspects of college life will illustrate the phenomenal progress which has characterized the school’s development since the doors first opened for classes in the fall of 1911. Students—On the left is one of the college’s earliest student bodies. To the right is a recent graduating class, itself almost as large as the en¬ tire early enrollment. I Page 8 Faculty —Only a small staff was needed to ac¬ commodate the instruction needs of the small stu¬ dent body of the early years. It is pictured here on the left. Pictured on the right is the mammoth staff needed for today’s huge enrollment. Buildings —In the beginning the college was lo¬ cated in one building, the Administration Build¬ ing, pictured at the left, which stood isolated in the center of the campus. Today the Ad Build¬ ing, at the right, is but one of hosts of structures in which the college’s extensive activities and serv¬ ices are carried on. Page 9 Auditorium —At first the college ' s public pro¬ grams could easily be conducted in a small audi¬ torium, located in the Ad Building and pictured at the left. Now the college has, situated in Memorial Building, one of the most spacious au¬ ditoriums in the entire South. An interior scene picturing one of the typical overflowing crowds which pack the building regularly for entertain¬ ment, civic, and religious events is shown at the right. Sports —In the early days the college had en¬ thusiastic but small athletic teams which partici¬ pated in intercollegiate sports on only a modified scale. One of the basketball squads is shown at the left. Today college teams in all major sports are successfully active participants in noted area, Page 10 regional, and national interscholastic athletic events. At the right this year ' s basketball team is shown as it is honored for winning the first annual Watauga Invitational Basketball Tourna¬ ment, which was staged here with nationally noted teams participating. Other Extracurricular Events —At first non-ath- letic extracurricular activities at the college were limited mainly to literary societies, one of which is pictured at the left. A vast variety of activities are offered on the campus today, including social and service fraternity life and work, and activities in the fields of music, drama, and art as well as sports. Pictured at the right is a formal fraternity gathering exemplary of the activity and fellow¬ ship available in campus life outside of the class¬ room. I DEDICATION | Courteous, friendly, and ever eager to help students, Phillip Wade Alexander in his role of Academic Dean is a moving spirit behind the atmosphere of genialty and warmth which is typical of East Tennessee State College. Dean Alexander has devoted his life to the educa¬ tional field in several areas of service and has gained great insight into student needs and problems over the years. His concern for student welfare and his readi¬ ness to be of aid in any problem are reflected in his gestures of courtesy and friendliness in student con¬ tacts. Educated at George Peabody College, the University of Chicago, Columbia University, and the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, Dean Alexander has given a total of 27 years of service to East Tennessee State College. Seventeen years of this time, from 1929 to 1946, he was director of the Training School, and he has been Academic Dean since 1946. Previous to com¬ ing to State College he was associated with the Ashe¬ ville, North Carolina, public school system and Western Carolina Teachers College. Dean Alexander also is a World War I veteran, a member of Phi Delta Kappa and Kappa Delta Pi Fraternities, and a very active layman of the Presby¬ terian Church. It is indeed a pleasure to dedicate this, the 1957 Buccaneer to such an outstanding educator and leader.

T. S. C. Since 1949, East Tennessee State College has seen more growth and ex¬ pansion than in all other previous years. This growth has come under the most able and willing leadership of its president, Dr. Burgin Dossett. In the eight years that he has served as president of this college, there have been numerous physical additions to the campus, the enrollment has doubled, and the academic facilities have seen almost limitless advancement. Before coming to the State College campus, President Dossett was a teacher, prin¬ cipal, superintendent, former State Commander of the American Legion, and former State Commissioner of Ed¬ ucation. All these positions have brought distinction and honor to Dr. Dossett, who now brings these quali¬ ties to our campus. Under the inspiration of our presi¬ dent, State College is looking forward to more years of greater expansion and better facilities. In short, it is to President Dossett that we give our thanks for the outstanding progress that we have experienced. i i Page IB Quill E.

Page 21 DEANS AND Dr, P. W. Alexander Academic Dean A scholarly attitude and dignified bearing mixed with genuine friendliness and courtesy to all students char¬ acterize East Tennessee State’s Academic Dean. In his eleventh year as dean, Dean Alexander gives liberally of himself to all worthwhile campus activities. Miss Ella V. Ross Dean of Women The warmth and interest in students so typical of East Tennessee State are personified in our Dean of Women, who gives her full attention and interest to any problem that is brought to her. Whether concerning Panhellenic Council, a dormitory rule, or a student’s working hours, each problem always diminishes in Dean Ross’ presence. Dr. C. T. Sharpton Dean of Students Dr. Sharpton comes to East Tennessee State from Ken¬ tucky and now holds the position of Dean of Students on our campus. His spontaneous friendliness and his wise guidance of students have made Dean Sharpton an integral part of the East Tennessee State campus al¬ though he has been associated with the college only one year. Page 22 Miss Flora Marie Meredith Mr. Solon Gentry Mrs. Lucille Sharpton Placement Director Assistant Registrar Director of Testing and Housing STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES Available to all students of East Tennessee State College are the services of the Student Personnel Administration. These services are offered in order to help coordinate all phases of student and faculty ac¬ tivities. All members of the college family, including the administrative officers, heads of schools, chairmen of departments, and faculty members, have made it a personal goal to offer student advisement in any way possible. This program began in 1941 and has expanded to offer all services necessary for an adequate division of Students Personnel Services. It is the feeling of the college that such a program will assist the student to develop to the greatest possible degree of his capacity. Miss Eila V. Ross Director Miss Ross serves not only as the director of Student Personnel Services, but she is also in charge of Education Guidance and Counseling, Student Activities, and the Student Work Program.

A production of this type was entirely new to the students, but the organizations who entered, performed for capacity crowds both nights of the production. In previous productions campus versions of popular Broadway musical comedies were presented, but the nature of the 1956 show was altered to provide per¬ formance for a larger number of participants than could be included in an individual drama.

Students enrolled in almost every department of the college may receive training for the teaching profession. The school strives to magnify the importance of the abundance of essential knowledge, both cultural and aca¬ demic, in the minds of the students. Another desire is to encourage full study in the prospective teachers’ fields of concentration. Both on the undergraduate and graduate levels, the School of Education endeavors to provide ap¬ propriate training and directed instructional experiences vital to the backgrounds of future teachers. The E. T. S. C. Training School is one of the attractive features of the department. There, under the well-quali¬ fied supervising teachers, students spend twelve weeks observing, guiding, and teaching pupils just as they will find in their own school rooms in the years to come. East Tennessee State College, through the School of Education and with the cooperation of the other schools, is planning and working seriously to refind the teacher preparation program in the hope that quality of all offer¬ ings will be unmistakably excellent.

Fowler Director DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH EDUCATION SCHOOL or NURSING The East Tennessee State College School of Nursing offers a degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. This School, in conjunction with Memorial Hospital, is the first of its kind in the East Tennessee area. For some time interest in a degree program had been expressed by the Officials of Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, the Administration of Memorial Hospital and other area hospitals, area medical and nursing organiza¬ tions, and interested individuals. After much study and planning by these groups in consultation with members of the Tennessee Board of Nursing and directors of simi¬ lar degree programs, East Tennessee State College, in collaboration with the area hospitals, established the School of Nursing, September 14, 1954. It is the purpose of the School of Nursing to develop nurses who will be qualified professionally to give compe¬ tent nursing care to the sick, who can function adequately in sociological, health, and preventive-medicine programs, and effectively contribute to an everchanging society.

Johnson City Page 90 SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMICS The School of Business Administration and Economics was organized to provide its students with an opportunity to acquire a broad knowledge of the internal problems of business organization and control as well as an under¬ standing of how business may be affected by the complex forces in the economic framework within which it operates. For this reason, emphasis is placed on the development of a well-rounded knowledge of business fundamentals and an approciation of the structure and processes of the American economy. In addition to the regular program of instruction, con¬ ferences, workshops, and seminars, and special events are held on the campus throughout the year with the coopera¬ tion of national and local professional and civic organiza¬ tions. In conjunction with these meetings, distinguished educators and leading businessmen from all parts of the nation enriched the educational opportunities available to students, and extended the influence of the School through¬ out its service area.

The 1956 Fall Pledge Class Page 137 PI KAPPA ALPHA Epsilon Zeta Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha was chartered on the East Ten¬ nessee State College campus on May 15, 1955, making it the youngest national fra¬ ternity on the campus. Pi Kappa Alpha’s short history on the State campus has been very eventful. The highlight of the chapter’s history came in 1956, when they won 1st place in “ Pot¬ pourri,” with a skit entitled “Abstract Africa.” The fraternity is active in all school events. During the present school year, the “Pikes” placed second in intramural football; won the Homecoming Wheel¬ barrow Derby; and the “Pike” pledges won first place in the skit contest spon¬ sored by the Kappa Delta Sorority. Pi Kappa Alpha held for the first time, “Pike’s Peak.” This combination of nov¬ elty track events, beauty contests, and dance routines will be an annual event open to all sororities. Highlighting the Spring Quarter is the annual dinner dance at which time the Pi Kappa Alpha Dream Girl is an¬ nounced. The present Dream Girl is Miss Barbara Mercer.

The students who have not had the opportunity to play on the varsity squads can organize teams that, in many cases, put forth a performance that surprises even those who have received con¬ centrated training in the particular sport. The intramural programs offers a large variety of activities. The program includes speedball, hiking, swimming, tennis, badminton, tumbling, and softball.

Rifie Team had one of its most successful years of rifle competition during the 1956-1957 school year. The Bucs riflemen won thirty-six matches while losing only eleven. In the William Randolph Hearst Trophy match, the Bucs, for the first time in the history of the military department at E.T.S.C., placed third out of seventy-two colleges in the Third Army area, which enabled them to receive a trophy and medals for the five high riflemen. This season, the E.T.S.C. rifle team set three new school rec¬ ords in rifle marksmanship. They set a high score record in the five man one thousand point shoulder to shoulder match, a high score record in the five man two-thousand point postal match, and a record for the most consecutive wins, winning twenty-th ree straight matches without a loss.

There is the basic course, which is given to all freshmen and sophomores, and the advanced course of¬ fered to juniors and seniors, who are carefully selected for their scholastic and leadership ability. The Cadet Corps was organized into a regiment in the fall of 1955 and now consists of two battalions with four com¬ panies each, a Headquarters Company, Band Company, and a Pershing Rifle Company. Drill is held each week for a one hour period on Thursday, and is under the supervision of the Cadet Regimental commander and the cadet officers. During this time the rudiments of drill are taught to the basic cadets and the advanced cadets gain experience in the direction of men. A six-weeks’ period of summer camp must be attended by all advanced corps cadets between the third and fourth year of their training. The camp this year was held at Ft. Benning, Georgia. The class work which the cadet has learned is put into practical use while at camp. Summer camp is the highlight of the four year training period which a cadet receives and is the source of many humorous stories which are brought back to the campus in the fall. Inspection of cadets is conducted by Colonel Hammond, Chief of Tennessee Military District, Classmates meet to talk over training while at the Infantry School, Ft.
