Harriette Holder WiKCHESiER, Tennessee It is difficult to say whether Harriette is better known as an A student, a leader in various phases of campus life, or a first-class friend. Her grades reveal her ability as a student, her many friends speak for her popularity, and Pebbles will speak for the rest. Dromgoole Sorie sident, Secretary Y. W. C.

Vli- iHtJiian fr Senior Class Hamilton Lock Baker OF WiN ' CHESTER, TENNESSEE Ham 15 a big fellow who always gets there. Cheerful and friendly we have ever found him. He was never a star, but he was always missed from any scholastic enter- prise — especially football. His attractive nature and rugged stature made him a neces.ary lineman on several S. T. C. teams. Luck to you, Ham. Bkatrice Irexe Bryan OF MURFREESBORO. TENNESSEE Here is the youngest member of our class. Although Irene is an A student, she is too wise to give all her attention to books.

K.ATHERiNE Williamson ' OF MURFREF.SnORO, TENNESSEE Katherine comes to us from Peabody. She has also been a student at the University of Chattanooga, but she wisely decided to get her B.S. from S. T.

T. C, and August will mark his departure, a wise, learned man! A good mixer, a true friend, a tireless worker, and a man of honor — that ' s Herman. To have known him has been a pleasure; to have him for a friend har. been an honor. He has been branded as an ideal stu- dent, a prince of an athlete, and a magnetic friend. He desperately loved about eighteen persons, and sixteen of these was Mary; the ether two were Tony and Marion D. Secretary. Pres President Y. I Ugliness, 26. Grace Cunningham OF MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE Grace is a genuine live wire, whose presence among us will be greatly missed. In Art she is excellent, and in Home Economics too. Her popularity with the student body, and especially with the opposite sex, speaks for her amiable nature. Would that we had more like her to en- liven the school. Paul E. Burton OF Clauksville, Tennessee Mr. Burton was here in the early twenties ' and distin- guished himself as a gentleman of quality, a brilliant con- versationalist, and a sincere worker. His ambitions are being realized as his successful career enfolds itself. Mr. Burton, may your ambitions be the least of your achieve- ments. President; Vice-President, Critic Grady Society. Birdie Workman OF HOHENWALD, TENNESSEE She is small but capable. Her ambitious nature may well be envied by all. She is a student of which any institu- tion may be proud. Senior Ck RayiMond McElroy OF MURFRRESBORO, TENNESSEE Mack in his quiet way has «on a place in the esteem of all who know him. He may always be counted on to do the honorable thing. Solid and serious as he is, however, there is a twinkle in his eye which shows he is also a jolly good fellow. Research Club; ety; V. .M. Roberta Campbell OF Lynchburg, Tennessee Roberta is quiet, but quiet waters run deep. Her records speak for her if she does not speak for herself. She is one of our class who is always busy doing something wortii while. She holds a place in the student body that no other can fill. Secretary Senior Class: Diomgoole Society; . grlculture Cluli. May Seal OF TULLAHOMA, TENNESSEE We wonder what May B. is thinking behind that smile. It must be something jolly and interesting, for she is that sort of a person, consequently one of those fortunate ones who enjoy the gift of the gods — popularity. Harriette Vera Belcher OF Ml ' rfreesboro, Tennessee Ilo you know the girl of S. T. C. that everybody likes? We Seniors know that person as none other than ' era. Her activities as a member of the musical and literary organizations are outstanding. Her friends are countless anil her future bright.

Ahvays cheerful, kind, and willing to do anything to help along. Girls of her type can never be forgotten. Halbert Harvill OF Lascassas, Tennessee A lare combination of wit, humor, sense and stability with the habit of looking on the bright side of life is Mr. Harvill. Those who know him best admire him best, know he is capable of attaining the goal toward which his highe:;t am- bition mounts. Baseball. •21. ' 22, ' 23. ' 24. Mrs. Mark. S. Womack OF MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE Mrs. Womack has been with us only one year, but her keen intellect has made her prominent in all her classwork. She IS especially interested in English and History. Irvin McDonough OF Whitehouse, Tennessee Irvin seems to have a good joke on the world; though he has never told us, we judge by that cynical twinkle in his eyes and the perpetual smile on his lips. He is humorous, courteous, honest, and ambitious. He was a brilliant stu- dent and we wish him a brilliant future. Debater Claxton Sorifty; Research Club. Mi lanlifr Senior Class H.ARDiE C. Sims OF Sparta, Tewesskf. Sleepy has won the respect of all who know him In his kind, courteous and attentive manner. His patience and idealism will carry him safely over life ' s rough place,, and come what may, we are expecting much of h!m. D. Harlev Fite OF AUBLIRNTOWK, TENNESSEE Fite possesses all those qualities which make a loyal friend, an earnest student, and a gentleman. He has a smile and a friendly word for everyone. He has been a loyal sup- porter for the best things in our institution. iety; V. M. sident. Secretary Grady Si L ' - President. Secretary ss; Associate Editor ■Mldlander Marvix H. Parks OF CJi.EASON, Tennessee A man you ' d like to have as your friend — that ' s Marvin. He used to spend many hours in the NormaKte room pondering over the scrappy material donated by his as- sistant editors. We ' ll remember him as the likable fellow with a pipe of Prince Albert and a verv attractive mous- tache. Editor ' Noriiiallte; President flaxton Society. Robert King OF Fraxkiik, Tennessee •lioli was unusually gifted as an athlete. He saved the day in many a hard fought battle on the old Normal field. He was never known to quit; in fact, he was always a star ill all three of the major sports. Hob will enter the ' 27 class during the summer. Hob, good luck. Glee Club: Y. M. C. A.; root- Mthknifr Senior Class Joseph Howard Parks Mulberry, Tennessee We predict for Joe a bright and happy future. That smil- ing face and friendly manner which characterize Joe are sure to lead him on to higher and nobler achievements. 24; Football, ' LM. -25; Stude Margaret Elizabeth Balthrop OF McEwEN, Tennessee If brilliant minds can bring success, continuous will be her succeeding; if a loving heart makes for happine::s, she will be joyously happy; if a magnetic personality foretells friendships, is it not enough to say that everyone loves her? Marvin Blackburn Scales OF College Grove, Tennessee College Ofove gave us a great treat when Marvin entered the prep department back in the early twenties. Here is a type of manhood to be studied — patient, big-hearted and of strong character, we have always found him. He bore his hardships with ease and took his honors like the splen- did American youth he typifies. Serrctarv. Treasurer, Vice-President Grady Snriety; Secretary. Treasurer, Vice-President Y. M. C. A. Jessie May Fraley of McMiNNViLLE, Tennessee The first thought that one has upon meeting Jessie May is that she has a striking personality. There is nothing weak or vacillating in her makeup. She is generous, capable, and so dependable that she is an open gate to responsibility. iit lanJJpr iltJiilanifr saB« i«iwww a rw i • _:2JESr«E3 ' sa ' fe ' MtJilanlipr illtjila«5fr «JUNIOR iit Ianhpr Junior Class Color: Gold and White Floisjer: Daffodil Motto: Be not simply good but good for something Officers Rex C.

It was the little blonde, Henry Hackman, vvho ran thirty-five yards around the left end and then circled right end on the next play for a touchdown. The other touchdown came in the third quarter when a punt was partially blocked by Jamison, who placed the ball over the line after the successful line bucks.

Wallen was in the back position part of the time, and his running was always remembered by good gains. Jamison plugged away almost tirelesslv at the Kentucky line while Hackman sidestepped his way into the hearts of a thousand onlookers. There was little use of trick plays against so weak a team, and so straight football led to the huge score for S. T.

Net, it was slow, marred by frequent fumble-, and never enlivened by spectacular runs. The outstanding thing about this game was the defense of both teams. If the interference was poor, the tackling was perfect. The Northerners had their eyes on Hackman, so that he was never able to dart through an opening for a long run.

It was a game full of thrills marred by bits of roughness on both sides, and one that vas not decided until the final whistle blew. The Peps started off with a bang, piling up tweJve points before the Teachers could locate the basket. Windrow went in for Osteen at center, and Early for Ferguson at forward. Windrow- played one of the best games he ever played. The S. T. C. quint ' s offense immediately began to take on form, ringing the basket with deadly accuracv. Gradually they proceeded up, goal by goal, until they were leading at the end of the half, 19 to 16. With the beginning of the second half the Peps closed the gap and the game was a see-saw affair until the end. Morr ' s ' goal gave the Peps a 38 to 36 lead, but Fambrough tied it up again with two free tosses. Here the game ended, making the playoff necessary. For Murf reesboro, Askins led the scoring, getting a total of nineteen points. Fambrough was second with eight points. P. Cohen and Jacobs led the scoring for the Peps.

At times their passing was not accurate, but never- theless they were able to penetrate the Triangles ' defense for numerous crip shots. On the other hand, the Teachers presented a strong defense that constantly kept the Memphis team shooting from long distances. Fambrough started the scoring by making good a follow-up shot. Johnson tied it with a shot from past Osteen. Injuries have kept him down, together with a late start, but in the last two games he has played a great game and will bear watching from now on. Johnson appeared the best shot for the Triangles, pocketing fourteen points, while Osteen was high scorer for the Teachers, getting thirteen points.

The game was marred due to the many fouls on both side. But it was fast and bitterly con- tested throughout. Miss Beasley was high scorer with twelve points to her credit.

As we cast our eves back over the hectic months spent in its completion, we detect many errors committed and many mistakes that should have been avoided. We began with high ideas and aspirations, but hard knocks and the worries of an editor ' s life has shattered most of them. What The Midlandi ' r might have been only our dreams can tell ; what it is we leave to your judgment. In these lines the staff desires to extend its appreciation to those students who have not been connected with the staff but who have given their time, thoughts, and energy without stint for the success of the book.
