We ha ■e tried by word and picture to put into this vokime a cross section of campus Hfe — its works, its aims, its successes. In later years as you turn these pages, if you can recapture the spirit of friendhness and youth that pervades the campus, if you can recall with a chuckle the jaunts and capers of you and vour fellow students, if you can live again your days at State Teachers College, this book will have fulfilled its aim.

In our situation the college campus is a laboratory for the furtherance of these principles. Everyone is given, in a systematic fashion, the privilege of expressing his opinion and of offering con- structive criticism. Self-develop- ment comes through self -direction. One of the major aims of student government is to see that its activi- ties reflect the attitude of a majority of its members. A great deal of the education one receives is outside the classroom. In fact, many be- lieve that a great gap exists between college studies and college life. It is the duty of the Associated Stu- dent Body to eliminate this gap as far as possible. Much progress has been made since the founding of our student government, but much remains to be done. We must not only work with our majority group, but we must reach the indifferent student more often and with a more lasting effect. When all of us work to- gether we not onl_v acquire strength and unity, but we experience a genuine pleasure and a sense of an lionest effort put forth. L ' ndoubtedly, the best govern- ment is that which teaches us to govern ourselves. If, in our legal and social associations with each other here on the campus, we can STUDENT BODY impart to each other a sense of honest and respectful give and take; if we can evolve from each other ' s actions a little better self-control; if we can bring about in an ever greater number of students a spirit of honest self-confidence, then truly we are engaging in that fascinating job which should be the underlying purpose of every, single as well as group, action performed on this camj)us — the elevation of the individual personality. Student government is a means, not an end. Let us not fail to utilize its possibilities. Charles Brown. The Associated Student Body, zi ' Iiicli includes in its ineiiibersliif all students registered in the college, was organized in iQjg. A year later its constitution zvas revised to provide for legislative, executive, and judicial branches zvhich function after the manner of those of our national goi ' criuuent.

F(ir the excellent spirit which prevailed at the games this year, we owe our unlimited gratitude to our faithful cheerleaders. Through all types of weather they were on duty, doing their utmost for the team. THE SEASON AT A GLANCE The Raiders turned to the 1940 season with great anxiety. They had completed two disastrous seasons and were looking forward to surpassing their record of one win and one tie the previous year. As in 1939 they were forced again to become accustomed to a new system of play, since Coach .A.lley had been lost to ' anderbilt. But this did not handicap them greatly for Coach Midgett and his associates proved to be a very capable staff, one. as their record will show, well adapted in installing a new system to maximum perfection in the shortest time. With an inexperienced squad consisting of fourteen sophomores, the Raiders worked hard during camp and were rewarded by victories over their first two rivals, the Jacksonville Teachers and the Austin Peay Governors. The third game could have been won easily, as the Raiders outplayed Memphis State but w-ere forced to give in to a 14-7 score. They took their old rival Cumberland in the fourth game, but dropped the next three to Western Kentucky, Union, and Murray. The final game saw the Raiders rise to great heights in conquering the favored Eagles from Tennessee Tech. This proved to be the Raiders ' most successful season in three years as they racked up lOS points to their opponents ' 71, and their success, under the conditions, should be a lasting tribute to the efforts of the coaches, and to the excellent spirit of the entire squad. RAIDERS VICTORIOUS Left to rii ht — Line Coach O. L. Freeman, Assistant Coach Xance Jordan, Head Coach E. W. Midgett RAIDERS OPEN WITH WIN OVER JACKSONVILLE Playiiii; their first game under Coach Wink .Midg-ett, the Raiders ran rough- shod over the Jacksonville, Alabama, Teach- ers before an opening crowd of 2,500. The score was 46-7. The Raiders were off to a flying start, scoring in less than three minutes after Burney Tucker had carried the ball forty yards on a reverse to Jacksonville ' s eight- -ard line. On the next play Tucker went over for the score. Again in the third, on the tirst play after the half. Tucker took the ball on the same play and travelled sixty-two yards without being touched. The same was a runaway throughout. Bryant, Hudson, and Tucker scored two touchdowns each, and McDonald scoi ' cd one on a pass from AlcCrory. McCrory ' s eye and toe were very accurate, missing only one extra ]ioint in four tries. Captain El- bert Patt - was in fine shape, catching passes that seemed impossible. RAIDERS BEAT AUSTIN PEAY Continuing to show their ability to run up scores in a hurry, the Raiders took their second victim in as many starts by trouncing the Austin Peav Governors by the score of ,i5-6. Early in the first quarter, with Bryant and McCrory alternating, the Raiders marched from mid-field to the Governors ' ten-yard line. After an unsuccessful try at center, Bryant circled wide around right end for the first score. McCrory kicked the extra point and the Raiders led at the end of the first quarter, 7-0. Again in the second Bryant and McCrory took turn about in carrying the ball from mid-field to the one-yard stripe. Ugg scored on the first attempt. This sort of thing went on for the re- mainder of the game. By the time of the Captain Patty IN EARLY GAMES last whistle Bryant had scored two. Tucker one, Hudson one. ]McCrory one, and Ugg had kicked five extra points. Greer, Patty, Watson, and Sarvis were best in the line for the Raiders with Toombs, Noles, Killebrew, and Price best for Austin Peay. McCrory hits bitll ' s-cxc ii ' iV i first uttciiift MEMPHIS STATE TAKES RAIDERS, 14-7 The Raiders, after winning their first two games, lost to Memphis State in a close game, 14-7. After driving the ball on running plays to the ] Iemphis forty-yard line, McCrory stepped back and tossed Tucker a ten-yard pass. Tucker took the pass on the run and side-step])ed a grou]) of Memphis players to go over the goal standing up. McCrory added the extra point. The Raiders were able to keep the lead onl ' a short while, however, for Watts on a fluke run carried the ball from the Memphis fifteen to the fifty-yard line. Two plays ]3laced the ball on the Raider thirty-six. Lynch passed from the thirty-six to Watts over the goal line for IMem- phis ' first touchdown. The extra point was good as the half ended. The second half saw Memphis pass over a tired Raider team for its final touchdown. The extra point from placement was good.

The defeat was much worse than the score indicated in that the Raiders made seventeen first downs to two for the Bulldogs. These two came through penalties. With the liall on the Raiders ' forty-five. IcCrory dro])ped Ijack and shot a pass to Cajjtain Elbert Patty who was downed on the five. On the next play Bryant went over for the first score. McCrory scored the second touchdown on a line Ijuck from the Gne-} ' ard line. He also converted the extra i)oint. The game was hard ft)Ught with the Raiders finding plenty of trouble when they drove into Cumberland territory. WESTERN RALLIES TO TAKE RAIDERS The Raiders, filled with ho]ie for a victory, hit the road for ' estern. Their hopes were to no avail, however, for the Hilltoppers turned them back to the tune of 13-0. The first half was scoreless with the Raiders having a flight edge. It was the third cjuarter that saw ' estern block a punt and a couple of minutes later score. Due to the intense heat the Raiders weakened and allowed the Hill- toppers to score again in the last forty-five seconds on running plays. The extra ])oint was made and the game ended. The Raiders ' stars were niany with Smith, Scates, Hodges, and r)r ant taking to]) honors. RAIDERS LOSE TO UNION The Raiders again lost a heartbreaker, being liandica])] eil by injuries in the first quarter. They fought vahantlv, but were unable to overcome the thirteen-point lead claimed by Union. In the first quarter, after gaining forty-five yards on two plays, Perry, Union back, slipped a ])ass to Tipton, who ran into the end zone for the first score. Coming back again in the second quarter the Bulldogs pulled another of their long range passes out of the bag and put the Raiders six more points behind. Willford, who had just run one of McCrory ' s punts back twenty-five yards, shot a fifteen-yard pass to Tipton on the five — it took five steps for him to score. This was the roughest battle of the season. The entire Raider team played well, but just didn ' t have the punch at the right time. MURRAY TOO STRONG FOR RAIDERS The Raiders dro])ped the fourth game of the season to the highly touted Murray Thoroughbreds. 19-0. The Thoroughbreds, capitalizing on a passing attack, scored twice in the first quarter. The first score was madr on a forty-yard pass from Grider to Levandocki in the first five minutes of play. The extra point was good. The second touchdown was also scored through the air as Grider passed from the twenty to Fullback Lee in the end zone. The extra point was blocked. A blocked punt on the Raider twenty-one set up the final touch- down for Murray. Coby Lee scored on a line buck from the Raider three-yard line. The entire Raider squad played great ball but could not match the strength of the strong Thorough- breds, who boasted one of the best teams the Raiders met.

First, the bonfire was the peppiest and the hottest ever held. Following the bonfire was the dance, and did the students and alumni have fun chatting and swinging to the nuisic of Lewis Brinkley and his orchestra? Xext came the parade with liands. floats, yells, and the crowning of the King and Oueen. After a get-ti; gether at the cafeteria, the earh- arrivals for the game enjoyed a high school liand contest. This was sponsored by the T Llub and was won by Columbia High School. The dav ' s height of [jerfection was reached when Coach Midgett ' s Raiders turned in a 6-0 win over the Eagles from Tennessee Tech. The first quarter of the game saw the Eagles running up first downs, but imable to advance deei) into Raider territory. However, they did get to the twenty-five-yard line where an at- tempted field goal was unsuccessful. m. . (; ,;,, 3uRTON — Center Smith — Guard EBKE . ' T BuRCH — End PERFECT ENDING It was in the scl-oikI (|uarter that the Raiders came into their own. After a Tech penalty had placed the ball on the Eagles ' twenty-five-yard line. Burney Lee Tucker tossed a beautiful pass tu ISilly Piurch over the goal line for the lone score of the game. The second half was played mostly in mid- field with the Raiders out])laying the Eagles, except for the last few minutes of the game, when the Eagles made a futile drive to the Raiders ' twenty-seven-yard line as the final whistle blew. In siimmar)- — the game could l)e called one of the greatest ever held on Jones Field. Each player seemed to be at his best both mentally and lihysically, for not even a time out was called for injury. And best of all. the Raiders won. reaping sweet revenge for the season before. -V ijoal line for victory — SAocfeU ' fl Ellis — Back T W LOR i?(7(- ,- Davenport — End McIntire — End VARSITY SQUAD • ' ir -Ha ' — TrcKKR, EvAXS.

SENIORS Captain Elbert Patty Three years of alert and rugged play at left end, combined with his ability to lead, won Elbert the captaincy his senior year. His leadership and inspira- tion led the team to its most successful season in three years. He will long be remembered as a brilliant cap- tain as well as one of the best ends in the S. I. A. A. Conference. Robert (Bob) Sarvis Bob probably played more minutes of football than any other member of the squad, as he was regular tackle his entire career. He was consistent and ever dependable. His best year was as a junior, which saw him as one of the best tackles in recent Raider history. Charlie Greer Chuck cuuld easily be called the Raiders ' most versatile player. His freshman year was spent at end, his sophomore and junior years at halfback, and his senior year at tackle. It was at the latter position that he really found himself as he ended his football career as a great tackle. Alternate Captain To.mmy Hudson Tommy, the little man of the squad, played great ball as a freshman and sophomore. Changes in the Raiders ' system or type of play called for larger men his junior and senior years. These, combined with a bad knee, kept him out quite a bit. However, his teammates thought him valuable enough to be their alternate captain. As captain he was a swell leader both on and off the field. Bill E ans Coming to S. T. C. without high school football ex- perience, Bill worked hard and was rewarded by a regular guard position his junior year. His senior year was even better, as he ended his short football career as one of the Raiders ' most valuable players. Bill McCrorv In and out of school for six years, but never in and out as a Raider gridder. Bill will long be remembered as a smart, rugged, and talented fullback. He will best be remembered as a man who had a still greater ability, one seldom found — the ability to come back. 9ii 4 SA 31 S53 .3 i3B ■w   FRESHAIAN SQUAU First roit.

Phillips, Deere, FRESHMAN SEASON The freshman football team began the 1940 season under two new coaches. Coach Freeman had been elevated to the varsity squad. Replacing him were Mac Rutherford, who starred at center for the 1939 Raiders, and the Rev. Joseph (Jody) Kellerman, former quarterback for the University of the South. They proved to be very capable, for they led the boys to two wins and two ties in four attempts. The frosh won the first game from the University of Tennessee Junior College by a 46-6 score. The freshmen were extremely efficient in the passing department during this game. Five of their seven touchdowns were from passes. After trampling the Junior ' ols, the Raider frosh ran into trouble with the Morgan Preps, being forced to score two touchdowns and one extra point in the last half to get even a 13-13 tie. Bain and Phillip scored the touchdowns, while Maury Smartt added the tying extra point. With two regulars out of the lineup, the frosh could do no better than a scoreless tie with the T. P. I. freshmen. The frosh played gallantly, but were unable to push over a score. The last game saw the frosh playing some of their best ball of the season as they rolled over Martin College, 19-0. The yearlings were ofT to an early lead when Reed grabbed a Martin pass and raced to the five-yard line. Bain went over from there for the first score. The second score came when Bain flipped Maury Smartt a pass that was good for thirty-five yards and a touchdown. The try for the extra point was good. The last score was a repetition of the second touchdown, except the play was good for fifty-five yards instead of thirty-five. BASKETBALL Sclilcicluv hits for two points The Raider basketeers under Coach jNIidgett. for the second year, ended a very dismal season, winning seven and losing fourteen games. Their misforttme, however, was not due to faulty coaching or lack of efifort on the Raiders ' ])art. hut to a schedule that would have baffled any team in the South. The Raiders suffered dual defeats from Murray ( runners-up in the National tour- nament) ; Western ( S. I. A. A. champs); Delta (last year ' s runners-up in the National tournament) ; and the crack . ustin Peay (|uintet. Oi the remaining games the Raiders grabbed seven and lost six, losing one by one i)oint and two in overtime periods. The entire squad played fine basketball { but failed to produce any outstanding ]ilay- ers with the exception of Roger Rrewington who lashed the nets for 192 jioints. Brew was slow starting, but averaged 15.6 points per game after he hit his .stride. However early games pulled his average down to 10.,i for the season. Unable to score as freely as i ' .rcw, but contributing much to the Raider cause were Captain llurford Turpin and Al- ternate Captain Cleorge Summers, ' i ' urpin played brilliantly and proved t(i be a fine leader until illness forced his retirement from the squad. ( k ' orge finished the season as cap- tain and performed excellently both as a player and a leader. . lthough the Raiders were un- successful in winning games, they should be greatly commended for their untiring efforts and tlieir fine team spirit.

M. H. A. Peps in a close battle. The Raiders were successful in turning back the Jacksonville Teachers 37-31, but. in doing so, ended their winning for a while as they dropped the next six games. First was Murray ' s fine team who admin- istered a 64-37 shellacking. The Raiders journeyed to Chattanooga only to be disappointed in a play-off as the Moccasins won. 23-21. Being back at home helped little, for the Austin Peay Governors slapped a 40-26 verdict m the locals. A game with Lipscomb found the Raiders still unable to break tiieir jinx, as the Bisons were victorious b - a 56-55 count in a fast and interesting game. Memphis State came from be- hind to rack up a 37-28 win. Western Kentucky ' s sharpshooters were too good for the P)lue and White, winning 60-33. With ISrewington hitting his stride, the Midgeltmen were able to defeat Sewanee. 36-29. but lost the next to Delta, 57-35. Murray was again victorious, the score being 51-22. . ustin Peay outscored the Raiders. 75-44. but were unable to stop Brewingtiin as he rolled in twenty-eight points. Union outcounted the Raiders, 56-52, in an overtime game. Delta and ] Iemphis State were victorious in the next two games, 62-36 and 54-34, re- spectively. A three-game winning streak found the Raiders rolling over Sewanee, 35-32, Carson-Newman. 47-19, and Chat- tanooga, 40-22, as they played their best ball of the entire season. On a trip to the Blue Grass state, Western trimmed the locals, 59-38. A visit by Lipscomb found the Raiders tasting sweet revenge as they brushed aside the Bisons. 45-38. The last game was dropped to Union on the local floor. 45-41. in a hard-fought battle. Summers — Guard Little — Guard Schleicher — ForzLvrd FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Coach O. L. Freeman continued his successful basketball career by winning twelve out of sixteen games. The frosh proved to be a good defensive team as well as an exceptionally good ofifensive team. They held their opponents to a 29.9 average while racking up a forty-point average for themselves. Leading the scoring for the frosh was Maury Sniartt, who dropped in 190 points. He was followed by Fay Brewing- tun with 150 and Henry Brandon with 112. Boonie Simmons and Dorris Smartt, while not heavy scorers, came in for tlieir share of honors through their defensive play, for a goal saved is the same as a goal made. The rest of the squad should also be commended for their fine play.

MEN ' S INTRAMURALS Men ' s intramurals under the guidance of Director Nance Jordan consists of a wide and varied program. Beginning with touch football in the fall and continuing through the class track meet in the spring, the pro- gram affords exercise and entertainment for the non-competitors in the school ' s inter- collegiate sports. Practically every sport is touched in the program, with the most interest being shown in basketball and track. The basketball tournament was won this year bv the N. Y. A. team, which rolled up 104 points to their opponents, 61. Second place went to the Outcasts, who were defeated in the finals. At the close of the tournament, awards were jjresented to the winners and also to the all-star team composed of Cranor Elrod, Billy Bryant, Elbert Patty, Walter Patter- son, Ernest Williatus, and Wesley Gilley. This year ' s track meet should prove to be one of the best ever held as the strong sophomore team (winners last year) and the senior team (last ' ear ' s runners-up ) will be back almost intact. But they should find plenty of competition in the freshman team, which boasts of many high school stars of last year. All-St ars Helen Wise, volleyball ; Mary E.

A. points go to each student participating in any of the sports, and a certain number of points entitles the student to special awards, including monograms, sweaters, and medals. The major sports for the fall and winter quarters are volleyball and basketball. Under the able leadership of class managers Jessie Mai Todd, Sybil Shipp, Adelyn Stegall, and Kitty Startup, the double round-robin volley- ball tournament reached the halfway mark with the juniors leading with three straight Special Awards Left to right — Frances Love, letter — sweater ; Margaret Taylor, W.

It is to this end the staff of the 1941 Midlander has worked. Treatment of the book, on the whole, shows much informality, which, the staff believes, adds to its appeal to the students.

The vesper services each Sunday evening, the mid-weekly devotionals held in each dormitory, and the Religious Emphasis week are sponsored by this organization. With the purpose of providing a working religious body which will make the students more conscious of the spiritual value essential to a happy life, the Student Christian Union exists. It is under the guidance of a faculty religious committee composed of Dr. Lewis, Miss Mitchell, Mr. Gracy, and Mr. Frazier.

CLUB Gathered around the hangar and watching an.xiously every move of the lone plane soaring above, stands a small group of student pilots while one of their number is making his first solo flight. Immediately upon landing the excited novice is congratulated and at the same time reminded that everybody about him is to have a coke on him. Thus is pictured the work of the Civilian Pilot Training course, which made its appearance on the campus June 10, 1940, with an enrollment of fifteen students. The following two groups brought the total membership of the C. P. T. Club to fifty-five students, thirty-one of whom have completed the thirty-five flying-hour course, passed both flight and ground school tests, and now hold private licenses. Some of those who liave finished the primary course are taking advanced training at other institutions. Since the beginning of the course a thousand-dollar hangar has been constructed, and it is hoped that next year the school air field will be improved to prepare for advanced aviation courses here. winter Group Seated — Gus Stabler.

It is here that prospec- tive teachers meet children in real sitnations. It is here that an effort is made to give the children and the college students the l:)est and latest in content and ])ro- cedurc. The Training- School endeavors to make its classrooms, its various activi- ties, and its daily routine as nearly lifelike as possible. It endeavors to place the children in an atmosphere which is informal, free, and conducive to happiness and best effort. These pictures represent a cross section of the work of the school and the activities carried on outside the classroom.
