Mai. .Sai .nui.r.- dedication In grateful appreciation, we, the staff of the 1953 MID- LANDER, wish to dedicate this volume in recognition of the many faithful years of service given this college by Miss Tom- mie Reynolds, assistant professor of Mathematics, and Miss E. Mae Saunders, assistant professor of Music. Both iiave been with the college since MTSC was founded in HH 1 as Middle Tennessee Normal. Both ha e watched the college grow from a two-vear nor- mal school olfering oidv teaciier certilicaiion to a fullv accred- ited f()ur- ear college oHering pre-professional training. B.S.. B.A. and M.A. degrees. Since few people can boast such a record, we feel that it is onlv luting that we offer this small iriliuic to two of our most deserxing teachers. I 801 PRESIDENT Q. M. SMITH In 1939, Q. M. Smith became president of MTSC. It is really not necessary to elaborate on his years in this position, lor his outstanding record ol iinpro e- nients tor this school is a nnich greater tribute than words. During his fourteen years here, the school has constantly marched forward, and today it can claim its place at the top with the very best— all due to President Smith ' s ingenuity and endless endeavors. The faculty has more than doubled in size, and stu- dent enrollment is at iis peak. Ailual acreage of the campus has been practically tripled. Every depart- ment has expanded. Today, the school offers the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, and Master of Arts degrees. The maximum plan of success has been in our building program— it stands above all else. During President Smith ' s administration, lour units of the Industrial , ris DeparimeiU, the Memorial Health and Physical Education Building, the Natatorium, a new siadiinn and track, the .Vgriculture Center of three units, the Airport, the Student L ' nion Building, and a new mens dorm ha e been completed. A new women ' s dorm is under construction, and plans for a new library ha e already been approved. Over one hundred housing luiiis have l)een erected for the vet- eran students, and the ROfX: armory has been estab- lished. President Smith has done a magiiidcent job and is to be highly praised. He has set a pattern of lead- ership which should challenge every stiulent. DEAN BEASLEY X. C;. Bcaslcy is oik- ol ilu iiKiiii spokes ol ilic ever turning NFTSC; cnnipiis lucl.

Mr. Judd has a ery difficult job. He is re- sponsible for the recording of the grades and credits of the entire student body. It is no simple matter to handle that many records. He also notifies students of their academic rating. In his twenty-six vears as Registrar. Mr. Judd has mastered his job as no one else could have done. iV BURSAR 1 he Biusar ' s office is always busy and ii is easy to see why— money. r. B.

Tlie IBad and the ISeautifvd I EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Middlf rcniKssec Slate has acquired the rejjutation ol being one ol the best institutions for turning out teachers of the highest quality. The Education De- partment has phiyed a dominant role in this progress. It has met the challenge of modern educational needs and demands and has contjuered it well. .Students receive excellent instruction in all phases of teaching, so that they are well prepared to meet any classroom situation. .Actual practice is afforded when students practice teaching in either the Training School or Central High School. The importance and value of this practice training cannot be emphasized enough, whether it is on elementary or secondary level. Coinses in guidance, psychology, and principles of education are ortered that not only test academic skills, bin train the mind and develop the attitudes that are necessary to produce good teachers. .Almost ninety per cent of the graduating class each year can t|uality Un- teaching certificates. The outstanding record that many of our graduates ha e attained clearly demon- strates the ability possessed by the faculty of this de- |3artment.

LANGUAGE ARTS The Department of Languages includes English, speech, and foreign languages. The institutional re- cjuiremcnts for a B.S. or B.A. include 18 hours of Eng- lish. This department is one of the highest ranking, academically speaking. English majors must complete a minimimi of 45 hours and pass a written and oral comprehensive exam during their last quarter as a senior. An English major has been well instructed in poetry, drama, composition, and the many other worthwhile and interesting subjects provided by the highly trained faculty. Miss Elizabeth Schardt directs learning activities in .Spanish and French. She has made several tours abroad, and her vast experiences and tra cls enrich every cla,ss, gi ing the students aciiial lads and back- ground for studies in this field. Journalism is also part of the curriculum of this department. Students become acquainted with tech- niques of editing and writing. This knowledge can be transferred to actual practice on the year book. The Midlander, and the school newspaper, Tlic Sidelines. Speech is also included in the Language Depart- ment. MTSC is very fortunate in having Joseph O ' Shea from Northwestern University as head of this department. His vast experience and integrity has added much to the .Speech Arts Department this past year. Of the six departments offering a minor in graduate work, the Department of Languages can claim its place. Courses offered on the graduate level are specifically aimed at even greater prospects in ad- vancing secondary teaching in this state. The noteworthy professors are, from left lo right, seated: Dr. Emily Calcott, Miss Elizabeth Schardt, ' Dr. Virginia Peck. Standing are: Mr. Joseph J. O ' Shea, Dr. Richard Peck, Dr. Guy Battle. Mr. S. Carroll E ins, Mr. Eugene Wiggins, Dr. Edwin Howard. MATHEMATICS The Math DepartincMU todav is headed by Horace G. Jones. Also teaching; this traditional siU)jccl are Roy Simpson and Miss Toniniie Reynolds, vho lias been an instructor at MTSC lor 42 yeais. 1 he loin- year math coiuse is offered to any student who chooses that field as a major. Such coinses as business arith- metic, math of finance, calculus, geometry, and many more are pro ided. . lso asailable in a year ' s work is surveying and one methods course in the teaching of mathematics. This full program keeps these able professors constantly busy. HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT This depanmeiil atlrads mainly It-male siudeiits. Ho; ever. boys max, in the end, benefit most from the courses it olters, for it is here that many girls learn the technitjiies of successful homemaking. Foods and clothing, nutrition, home nursing, textiles, and other jjrac- lital courses are oiTered. Students may receive a U.S. degree upon completion of a major in Home Economics. Mrs. X ' irginia Muncie and Miss Afyrtle . gnes Nelson, the instruc- tors in the Deijartment of Home Economics, are shown in the photo at left planning the many profit- able activities which they now offer to those girls desiring this type in- struction. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Kii ' jincss Atlniiiiisiiiiiioii Dcpai iiiRiU bctaniL ' ollicial in I9, ' i9. Until that ilatc it was an annexation ot the Social Science Department. It has expanded into its own, and now pro ides ad anced stenography, business law, methods and materials in accounting and stenography, advanced accoimting. advertising, auditing, salesmanship, and business education courses. The lotu divisions— , ccotmting, Secretarial Science, Business Education, and Business Law— were combined to lorm the Business Administration De- |)arinienl. This is one ol the most popidar depart- ments with the siutlent body, lor it produces a large number ol majors each yeai . Ihe aims of the Business Administration Department are to certify graduates to teach any business subject on the secondary le el, preparation lor worthwhile business positions, and knowledge for operating self-owned enterprises. E. W. Midgett heads this department. His teaching com- |3anions are Mrs. Henrietta ,Myers Wade and Miss Elaine Stejip.

THE LIBRARY More ihan ;58,()0() books, additional bound volumes, periodicals and newspapers in the MTSC library pro- vide a broad selection ol relerence and soiuce ma- terial as well as recreational reading. Constantly ex- panding, the annual accretion list includes hundreds ot books each month— all designed to enrich the iiir- riculum and increase student knowledge. Ihitil recently the library was also the ceiuer ol the college audio-visual materials. At the present time most ot this equipment has been cataloged and stored tor ready access in the adminisiiati(jn Ijiiilding echica- tional departmeiu. Members of the library stalt are Miss C atherine Clark, Ambrose Easterly and Miss Virginia Wilkinson. Mrs. Alvie Anderson is secretary tor the library. There are l-l student assistants.

In this field the fresh- man comes in contact with a very im- portant piiase of higher learning— lixiiig material. Majors and minors ma tie acquired in biology with the reiiiiiretl courses of embryologi, ' , zool- og . botany, genetics, and others hav- ing been completed. The professors an exercise their ability in the ade- (|uaiel i(|iiippeil classrooms and lab- oratories. Students can carry on private ' stucK in some of the indi id- nal looms. Biology offers growing interest for those with professional or industrial sjoals. PHYSICS DEPARTMENT The siudciu who is interested in a brighter and more prosijeroiis luiine usually finds the way to the physics laboratory. With the modern trend toward scientific development, the physics major can be as- sured of a very good job. The many long hoius of study produce concrete results. Douglas Shields instructs the students in such prob- lems as measining amoiuits ot heat from certain solid materials ' hen they become ignited, electrical wiring, speed of light and sound, atomic energy, and inany other complicated problems of modern lite. The very best in etinipment is furnished so that the student has first-hand experience in working on his problems. In freshman coinscs, all students participate on the same experiments, btu in the achanced cotnses, each stu- dent has a different set of experiments given him at the beginning of each quarter which he is expected to report on to the rest of the class after his work is completed. HOUSE MOTHERS riure are lew mothers xvho have so many childien who beai so liiile resemlilance to each other, desire so nni(h aikntion, and ha e such complicated prob- lems. All ihese— and many more— are the everyday responsibilities facing the hotise mothers. In fid- filling their jobs so well, they are guided by patience and understanding in every decision they have to make. Their wisdom inspires each sttidcnt to make his own decisions. E en with all this weight bearing heavily upon their shoidders, the house mothers al- ways have a friendly smile and a kind word for each of their children.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT MTSC is proud of its Industrial Arts Department and there is sufficient cause. The lA Building is one ot the (inest in any Southern college or inii ersity.

It is a rcc[iiircment that all students enjoy tor they are afforded many worth- while classes— golf, bowling, tennis, swimming, volley- ball, basketball, badminton, daiiiing — and many others. .Many courses are ollered in theory and prac- tice ot the active sports which any student may take who desires to teach. , student may get a majcjr or miiKji in Phxsiial Education after completing the necessary comses. The departmem (jllers scholarshi])s to those with unusual abilities for participation in football and basketball. This opportimity makes it possible for many to attend college, who perhaps might not have been able to do so— plus providing MT.SC with some very fine teams with high spirit instilled by the coaches. The health coiu ' ses are a eiy worthwhile and fitting diversion of the physical eclucatioir depait- ment. To be perfectly exact, we should refer to this as the health, recreation, and physical education de- partment, for it certainly is a balanced combination. The health courses are recjuired for an elementary certificate. The capable directions in this departmem ha c fostered a fine intranmral program— the likes ol whicli have never before been ecjuafed at MTSC. The stu- dents have been divided into teams and compete in each seasonal sport. This program has aroused great enthusiasm among the entire student body. Iiiiiii ; h, niiid. a, I RdhcTi MiiiilLCapl.

Its importance can never be over-emphasized. The training received here under the very capable and alert faculty is of more practical benefit to the MTSC student than any other experience during the four year span in attain- ing a degree. Here is a real opportunity for students to put to use, in typical situations, the knowledge they have received. Many of the problems the practice teacher faces will be the same he will come up against when he has a teaching position of his own. These problems can be handled much easier and more accurately because of this practical experience here. The Training .School maintains very high educational standards and in- sjjires us as future teachers to higher ideals and goals. Our success here is a glimpse at the future vhcn ive vill be completely on our own initiative. Students are afforded the opportunity to become ;k- t|iiainted vith and use tlie materials and ecpiipmeut in order to achie e the best results from their work. Students have conferences with their respective super- vising teachers to clear up many of their problems and coordinate their work. ,f.irr AVIATION DEPARTMENT Axiation lla biconic a ci imporiant part ol the ( uiriciihiin on our campus. Much ot the popularity and success of the aviation cleparinient is due to the er fine instructor— r. Miller Lanier— whose un- ceasing efforts and cooperation have made the aviation courses valuable and sought after by so many of the students. Through the extensi e training which the students receive, they arc able to obtain their private, commercial, and instructor ' s ratings, . long with the actual flying experience, students are able to obtain technical knowledge in na igation, radio, meterology, and many other phases of aviation. This department has recently moved to its modern new honre on the Lebanon Road. INFIRMARY The Infirmary provides us with excellent medical care. It has worked oveiiimc (his past year with the fill epidemic in fidl swing. Wluii students pay their registration fees, a certain amount is set aside for any medical care, whether it be shots of penicillin, a bottle of cough syrup, the wonder cold pills, or a confined period of illness. The building can u ( oiniiKKhur (|uiie a large num- ber of students wiuii ilicv aic sick. .Mrs. ClilTord Hvrne is the resjistered luirse who is in charge and at residence in tin- Inliiiiiary. .She received her tiaining at St. Lhomas Hospital in Nashville.

EXTENSION SERVICE The Division of Field .Services was originated to serve more adec[iiately the needs of our graduates and prolessional people in the area. One ol the (liiel luiu lions ol this (li ision is to assist superiniemlenis and su|)ei isors in pr() iding an in-service training program through extension classes. . second finution of iliis di ision is to keep in touch with the persoiuiel needs of employers, both in educational areas and in iiulusirial situations. This need is passed on lo the seniors and the alumni who are seeking employment. Thus, placement becomes the responsibility of the Division of Field .Services. Any time there is contact with any individual or groups off ihe campus, public lelations are in ol ed. It is the responsibility ol this division to foster de- sirable public relalions with individuals and groups within our area. These are not only allowed to come to the campus for meetings, but are cordially en- couraged to do so.

VET VILLAGE Directly behind our campus is a little conummity made up of small frame, barrack-like apartments and numerous trailers. This is where our married folks live. The village was organized immediately after the World War II to accommodate veterans and their families who were attending school. Now, however, not only veterans biu anyone can li c in these apart- ments and trailers as long as at least one member of the family attends school . . . oiu school, of course. The center of interest is the Community Grocery where the men folks gather for a game of ping-pong (the recreation room is built in with the store), and the women gather their groceries. The people in Vet Village arc very proud of their small community. It was just recently that they held their election for their Ideal Vet Village Family. j lr. and Mrs. Bob Veach and daughter Vickie were elected. You can see in the picture at right that their choice was obviously wise. STEAM PLANT The sieam plant and its operators aic odcn over- looked, hill their cliorts arc ahva s present.

JL .l .U DRAMATIC CLUB Spectator, this iiuichiiic yoii sec lieie wound up to the hill in such a way that the spring will slowly un- wind the whole length ol a human life, is one of the most perfect constructed by the infernal gods for the mathematical destruction of a mortal. This was the theme of the Biuhanan Players ' most amliitious production for the yeai 1952-5, ' ?. The Infernal Machine. a (ireek tragedy, adapted by Jean C:octeau, gave seventeen students an ()p|)oiiunity to show their acting ability. However, acting alone is not the foinidation of the Buchanan Players, The effective lighting of Tlte In- fernal Machine, the difficult wagon set of Ladies in Retirement . anel the luuiierous properties for Bell, Book, and Candle all emphasize the importance of the backstage workers to a successful prodiidion. The Buchanan Players opened their season with the fall production Ladies in Retirement, a tense drama of a woman ' s effort to gi e her sisters a home, set in the moors of England, The Spring production was Bell. Booh and Candle. a modern comedy of a witch who lost her powers by falling in love. In addition to these productions, the new director Joseph J. O ' Shea initiated the arena theatre. This new form of dramatic entertainment affords members of the club experience in acting and also in directinj;. Two plays produced in the arena theatre were The Browning Version and A Phoenix Too Frequent. Both plays were directed by students and attendance was by invitation only.

It acts ill just this way to the various church denominations which have organizations on this cam- pus. Its principal purpose is to combine all religious groups into a strong unilied organi alion. It serves to make all of us, no matter what faith, one group joined together to worship our one common God. A very wonderful thing about this organization is the fact that it exists not only in name, but in actual- ity. Each day the Stiulent Christian I ' nion sponsors noonday devotions for the students dining their lunch hour, with the denominations taking turns leading the service. During the spring |uarter each year the Stu- dent Christian Union sponsors a Religious Emphasis Week on the campus. Visiting speakers, usually young ministers and student workers speak and discuss with us problems that face yoiuh today. We have always received great benefit and ha e been deeply inspired by the activities during this week, in which we spend more of oiu time pausing in the busy day to turn oin ' thougiits toward God and lo thaw nearer to Him. The Sttident Christian I ' nion has always been a firm foundation for all of the religious groups on the campus, and we ' re sure it will continue through the coming years by becoming e en stronger and influenc- ing each sttident to gi e of his lime and talents to God.

WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION All girls who are interested in playing sports in college have a chance to do so th rough the WAA. They may participate in such activities as hiking, touch football, basketball, volleyball, badminton, ping-pong, and softball. The WAA was organized on our campus to en- courage interest in athletic activities and to promote good sportsmanship and a spirit of cooperation and fellowship. But its most important objective is to encourage in student life worthwhile activities and to suppress unwholesome tendencies. The girls are divided in teams, usually according to their major. This year we have girls representing five departments— Science, Physical Education, Home Economics, Business, and Education. Any girl interested in athletics is eligible for mem- bership. Membership is attained by earning one hundred points in intramural activities and upon payment of a fifty-cent fee for the entire four years. The council is elected by the members of the club. WAA officers this year are: President, Nancy Hill: Vice-President, Mary Ann Dickey: Secretary, Billie Dean Reed; Treasurer, Nell Banks; Intramural Man- ager, Jeri Brisby: Publicity Chairman, Elizabeth Hay. The girls are assisted by the fine faculty advisor. Miss Buleah Davis.

BAND The MTSC band is one ot the finest in any Southern college or uni- versity. This is a fact that each student is ery proud of. We owe mucli of our fame and fortune to this illustrious group. They are one of the best public relations conscious groups on the campus. The ntarching band received great recognition when it was the subject of a feature article in the Naslnnllc Terinessenn Magazinc-Aw honor well deserved. Many ol the problems of organization and maintenance were presented to the public. It recjuires a great deal of effort to keep any group functioning as nearly perfectly as the band. This delegation makes many tours to the local high schools of Middle Tennessee, consistently increasing their popidarity wherever they go. We are very proud of the demonstration exhibited by the band when they fol- lowed the Blue Raiders to Tennessee Tech on Thanksgiving. The major- ettes and Hag twirlers are the high stepping gals which lead the band and really do theii siull. This group offers the student body some very fine music when they present concerts on campus and climax their splendid season by playing for graduation. The liand is inider the supervision of oiu- new director. Mr. James Van Slyke, who has done a superb job. The officers are: President.

It offers first hand experience. Many of the members, through long hours of prac- tice, ha e mastered the art of playing such instrinnents as the violin or cello, and ha e the opportunity to exhibit their perfected skill. The orchestra offers the student bcdy many ex- cellent classical musical programs on campus.

HARP SINGERS The Sacred Harp Singers sing in the a cap- pella style of the Elizabethan period. Their songs have a very old and interesting history. A group of Southern peo]jle whose ancestry dates back to English origin began singing the madrigal l pe of song which the hSih ceiitUM ' Englishman kiu ' w so well. These songs were (olleded into one oluiiU ' and have come ilown to us todax. There an- many grou|JS of Sacred Harp .Singers in the L ' nited States today, and our particular organization is among the erv best. At a (oineniion in . i- laiita the were selected lo preseiil the pio- giaiii. I he Sacred Harp Singers are also a cry dependable group in spreading good will.

STUDENT ORGAN GUILD The many sluck-iUs who are taking private organ instruction are those who make up the Student Organ Guild. These very talented people share their skill so that the other students are able to hear some very fine music. At practically every assembly program, one of the members of the group plays some soft strains above the hum of students filing in and out of the auditorium. This group has the use of two very fine organs— one in the music department and the big organ in the auditorium of the administration building. The MTSC .Student Organ Guild was one of the first groups of its type to receive a charter from the Amer- ican Guild. The beautiful chimes which are con- nected with the organ in the main building send out melodious tones which can be heard all over the campus. The officers of the Student Organ Guild are: Presi- dent, Sue Kirby; Vice-President, Carolyn Shelton: .Sec- retary, Greta Moore; and Treasurer, Gloria Gattis. Their faculty advisors are: Mrs. Neil Wright anil .Mrs. John Scott. Members of this gr(jup are: Gloria Gattis, DeNell Agee, Janet Hooper, Sue Kirby, Greta Moore, Jinmiie Lou Tanksley, Carolyn Shelton, Gay Jennings, Eleanor Sheid, AGRICULTURE CLUB The .Agriculture Club is one of the very oldest or ganizations on this campus. Its history begins in 1927 when the college was still young. This group meeis the second Monday evening of each month at seven o ' clock. Besides having a social event each quarter, their members are afforded very good programs. Edu- cational movies, which give the boys further knowledge in coping with problems of farm life and activity, head the list of best liked programs. The objectives of the .Ag Club are to promote agricultural education to encourage practical demon- stration in farming, and to co-operate with and actual- ly operate the college farm— which is a fidl-time job within itself. The members of this club are much concerned with modern methods and means of im- pioving agricultural conditions. .Agriculture today has taken on an entirely different meaning. Through research and study, it has been found that more and better products can be offered to the consumer. Managing and operating a farm can be ac- complished more successfully and economically by an adequate study of agricultural problems. Officeis of the .Ag CUul) are: President, Jimmy Tom- lin; Vice-President, Richard Murphy; Secretary and Treasurer, Paul Heiss; Reporter, Thomas Kennard Hill; Sergeant-at-Arms, Knox Wright. The sponsors are; Dr. Clifford N. Stark, James N. Jaggers, and B. B. Gracy.

TRACK AND SABRE CLUB The Track and Sabre Club has as its primary ob- jectives; the inipro cinent and orientation of its mem- bers; the creation and continuance of fellowship and understanding among the students of MTSC. Upper- most in its purpose it ser es to tiuther an understand- ing of reserve olficer training. Each year the club sponsors a military ijall featuring a name band, and its members elect an R() TC Queen.

LONG - V INTRAMURALS 6 c M rSC has a highly oigaiii cd and liuu lioiiiiig in- tramural program headed by Miss Davis and Coach Hayes. The girls aie most active in this program. They participate in sports suc h as basketball, table tennis, volleyball, sottball, touch football and bad- minton. The teams were organized as to their majors. Business, Education, Physical Education, Home Eco- nomics and Science make up the intramural program. The program is conducted by the Women ' s . lhletic Association. It provides physical development as well as growth in sportsmanship. Competitive spirit being very high, the various teams clash for the champion- ship titles and winning honors. In the pictures, as you can well see, the range in the program certainly takes advantage of the facilities located in oin Physical Education Department. In the above picture we see Bess Evans and Nancy Hill engaged in a table tennis game. Next, the .Science group are engrossed in a hotly contested volleyball game with the Home Ec. girls. From the looks of things, the score is close. On our right are the Ituiue pros. The basketball teams are trying their best to double their points and win the championship. That ' s Ken Duke at the punching bag. Keeping in shape for football, no doubt. Coach Hayes has further developed the program of boys ' iiitraimiial s])oHs wliich iiu links a system gi iiig the (hampiouship to the team with the highest iiiimbei ol iiuiaimiral points lor the entire year. The |jiirpose of his ]jrogram is to promote and goveiii the intramiiial piogiam toi boys. The teams are eight in inimbei, and aie niaile up ol all male siiulenls en- lolletl in sthool.
