f- : Presenting T H E 1 9 5 6 MIDLANDER VOL. XXXI Published by the Students oj MIDDLE TENNESSEE SI ATE COLLEGE Murfreesboro, Tennessee Don Jackson Editor in ChieJ Lois Stedman Assistant Editor George Gardner Business Manager Nathan Bedford Forrest Nathan Bedford Forrest ' s spirit symbolizes the spirit of Middle Tennessee State College, the school of indi- vidual opportunity. He came from a poor home and from there he rode into the annals of American history. Born in Chapel Hill, Bedford County, Tennessee, on July 13, 1821. he received little education; but was suc- cessful as a planter and real estate operator. Always ready to defend a cause, young Nathan enlisted as a private in the Confederate Army in June, 1861; but shortly afterward won the rank of lieutenant colonel to command a battalion of cavalry, which he outfitted at his own expense. By the time he was a full colonel, Forrest had joined forces with General A. S. Johnston ' s army at Shiloh, where he received his first wounds in the north-south combat. As a cavalry leader in 1862, he captured the entire Federal garrison at Murfreesboro in one of the most brilliant operations of the Tennessee campaigns. Following the Battle of Chickamauga, in which he par- ticipated, he was transferred to Mississippi and ap- pointed major general. In November of 1864 Forrest was placed in command of the cavalry with the Army of Tennessee. A year later he was made commander of the cavalry in Alabama, Mississippi, and eastern Louisiana. He died October 29, 1877, in Memphis. Forrest was known for his fairness in battle and his hard-charging cavalry. I rode with General Forrest back in 1863 under this banner. I remember we bivouacked in this area, but times sure have changed — as you can tell from the sketch that my buddy. Bob, drew showing some of our maneu- vers back in 63. I can still remember General Forrest saying, ' Let ' s get there the fustest with the mostest ' . This is where my buddies and I, who fought and died in the War between the States, stay at Stones River Na- tional Cemetery. For years, since 1911, I had been hear- ing strange sounds ' and much commotion coming from our old bivouac area that sounded like the War had started all over again. Several of my buddies had taken a short furlough from here, so when my turn came up, I decided to make a reconnaissance of the situation. On my first visit, I thought it would be easy to find my way around, since I had encamped there, but it was more difficult because the terrain features had changed. In- stead of a level field surrounded by a wooded area with blue-coated Yankees peeking out from behind every tree, all I could see was a big group of buildings sur- rounded by new-fangled things called automobiles. At the entrance was a sign which said ' Middle Tennessee State College. ' I wandered around, and all at once bells out of no where started ringing. From my post in the top branch of the nearest tree, I could see people of all kinds running from building to building with books under their arms and pencils sticking out from behind their ears. After ten minutes of this confusion, every- thing was quiet again. I carefully climbed out of my shelter and resumed my reconnaissance. I know you ' ll be as interested in this campus, its people, their classes and activities as much as I was, so I ' ll tell you just what I have learned in my few short visits here.

My Staff and I hope you will enjoy the rest of the book. We have done our best to present Middle Tennessee State as we all know and love it. It was once said by Webster, Ours, Sir, is a small school, but there are those who love it. To those of us who have made MTSC our home for the past four years a truer statement was never made. We have seen buildings erected and roads removed, and we have seen students and teachers come and go. . . . I would like for you to reminisce with me over the past four years, and the many and varied memories they hold. REMEMBER . . . Freshman week 1952, Fresh- man girls in Jones Hall, Your first college dance. Home- comings, Plays on the MTSC stage. Football and Basket- ball games, The old wrestling team, ASB elections. The first Miss Midlander from our class. Fun nights in the old gym, Stunt nights, The drive in front of the Ad build- ing, The gallons of rain during winter quarters, the ROTC in their new building, Monahan Hall erected. Pep rallies. Bull sessions. Receptions, Banquets, Reli- gious emphasis weeks. Parties. . . . and we can ' t forget those Classes, Exams, Lectures, Term papers. Grades, Registration, and the same thing all over again. I have rambled around enough. I hope I didn ' t bore you and that I brought back some pleasant memories. To publish a book such as the 1956 Midlander takes a lot of words, pictures, ink, considerable planning, loss of a little sleep, sweat, work and a lot of co-operation. I have had a great deal of co-operation from a lot of people. First I would like to thank my staff, their names and the work they did appear on page 152. A special thanks to Lois Stedman my associate editor who pre- pared all the copy, to George Gardner who headed the business staff, and to Peggy McQuiddy who headed the class sections. For the cover, we are indebted to Cartoonist Jack Knox of the Nashville Banner in permitting us to use one of his drawings. The remainder of the art work was done by Bob Mingle, a member of our staff. Our photographers were Wink Bennett, Jimmy Carna- han, Ed Delbridge, and Dr. Bealer Smotherman. Our thanks to Dr. Guy Battle and Mr. William Beasley, who proofread all our copy. Mr. Ruben Gulbenk and Charles and the entire staff of Gulbenk Engraving Co., also Mr. Ben Shields and his staff at Ambrose Printing Co. Our last vote of appreciation goes to one of the busiest men on the campus. His help and assistance in preparing the 1956 Midlander is surpassed by none. I refer to Mr. Gene Sloan, the Director of Publications, at Middle Tennessee State College. In closing, I sincerely hope that the 1956 Midlander brings to you our reader the spirit of MTSC, and that you enjoy the book as much as I have enjoyed working on it. 16 TABLE of CONTENTS featuRes PAGE 106 orgAnization S PAGE 50 DMI NISTRATION PAGE 18 AlyVERTISERS PAGE 210 LASsE S PAGE 152 OTC PAGE 90 Sport S PAGE 128 17 I n. From what they tell me. Middle Ten- nessee State College is one oj the five state colleges in Tennessee: and even though it is not the largest, it ' s the best. And I can tell you, it really has changed since I rode through here on my horse. Founded in 1911, the college had only three buildings at the time. One ivas the Administration Building. In 1925 the Gene- ral Assembly authorized the maintenance of a state teachers college in each Grand Division oj the State. Thus, the college became known as Middle Tennessee State Teachers College. Since then, the actual acreage oj the school has increased jrom 125 acres to 375, and the name has been changed to Aliddle Tennessee State College. As I said bejore, ichen I came through here, there was nothing but acres and acres oj plowed fields. Now there are 27 perma- nent brick buildings, an agricultural unit, jootball stadium, baseball field, and tennis courts. The ' Ad ' Building is still the main center oj the campus. I ivas really interested in the newest addi- tions this year and the plans jor juture im- provement. The administration has added the Family-Centered Home Matiagement Edu- cation House, a neiv jootball scoreboard, and a neiv parking area. They also paved new sidewalks and widened some oj the old ones. This has really changed the looks oj this place jor me because they didn ' t have many side- walks and roads here when I rode through with Forrest. The college ' s juture plans in- clude the recently authorized library which will be completely modern throughout. Now ni introduce you to the members oj the jaculty and tell you something about them and their departments. 18 THIS BUILDING HOUSES THE ADMINISTRATION President Q. M. Smith STRATEGY IN THE MAKING Ensconced in the Director ' s Headquarters, President Q. M. Smith, his staff and the commanders of tactical forces of Middle Tennessee State College outline a con- tinuing plan of operation and constantly enlarging table of organization. During President Smith ' s administration student en- rollment has reached the 2,000 mark, faculty personnel 112, with ten new buildings, 375 acre farm and cam- pus, new departments added and older ones expanded — all bespeaking the ingenuity and executive ability of the college administration. The pattern of leadership is an inspiring example to the student body and to the educational leadership of the area served by the college. President Smith has 30 years of college administrative experience, and the last eigh- teen at MTSC. He is a member of the bar, a practical farmer, and has served as an officer in both the Army and Navy. All of his staff are veteran educators, having occu- pied important elementary, secondary school or college posts before moving into staff positions as members of the Administrative Committee. Administrative Committee members engage in a policy making session with the following members: (seated) Dr. C. N. Stark, Mr. Neil Wright, Dr. W. B. Bowdoin, Mr. Hilary Parker, Mr. Horace Jones, Mr. O. L. Freeman, President, Q. M. Smith, Dr. Eldred Wiser, Mrs. Vir- ginia Muncie, Dr. Norman Parks. (Standing): Dr. Howard Kirksey, Miss Tommie Reynolds, Mr. Gene H. Sloan, Mr. N. C. Beasley, Major Q. L. McNary, Dr. Richard Peck, Dr. Francis Reil, Dr. Belt Keathley, Mr. E. W. Midgett. GOVERNOR The Governor is chiej of staff oj the state ' s education. The highest-ranking commanding officer in this fine old state is Governor Frank Clement. I journeyed down to Nashville to visit his office one day and I found, after listening to several conversations, that as America ' s youngest chief executive he has proved his leadership in education as well as politics. Two of the members of the MTSC faculty, who were among his high school teachers, join the hundreds who attest to the sterling qualities of leadership that marked him in high school, in college, in law school and later as an Army officer. In recent months he has faced difficult problems with a forthright conviction that may easily result in his eleva- tion to a high national office. His sponsorship of better educational opportunities for all Tennesseans has en- couraged all those associated with edu cation in the state. (lOVERNOR FRANK G. CLEMENT BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board Plans Education Policies. Seated are W. R. Landrum, Mrs. Ferdinand Powell, Dr. Quill E. Cope, State Commissioner of Education; Mrs. Sam Wilson, Ernest C. Ball, Miss Maud Holman, executive secretary. Standing are Mrs. Violet Parrish, principal stenographer; Clarence Kolwyck, Dr. Norman Frost, J. Howard Warf, James Williams, and Edward J. Jennings. I DEANS Scholarship, Student elfare, and Records are the Problems oj the Deans. Dean N. C. Beasley, having at one time or another occupied most of the jobs in rank at the college, now heads up our records division and acts as Veteran ' s ad- viser. As Dean of Admissions, he is continuing services to the college that have covered more than a quarter cen- tury. Outstanding lay leader in the Methodist Church, and for more than 20 years executive secretary of the MTEA, Dean Beasley has the loyal affection of the file as well as the rank in the profession and among the student body. N. C. Beasley — Dean of Admissions Dr. Belt S. Keathley combines the functions of the chaplain corps, the quartermaster department and the provost martial ' s office with equal ease and ability. As counselor and friend, as director of student help and dormitories, as a firm but understanding disciplinarian, our Dean of Students has the respectful admiration of all who know him. It is axiomatic that in this office one may find helpful guidance, sound admonition, or, when the occasion demands, equitable justice tempered always by mercy. Dr. Howard Kirksey heads our S-3 section of plans and training. As Dean of Instruction, it is his respon- sibility to organize and supervise the schedule and cur- riculum, to be alert to the over-all educational plan of campaign on all levels, integrating our Division into the Education Corps of Tennessee for most effective service. As secretary of the Secondary Principals Association, a member of the Baptist Sunday School Board for Ten- nessee, a national director of the Beta Club and Ten- nessee representative in the Southern Association, Dean Kirksey is a very busy man. Belt Keathley — Dean of Students Howard Kirksey — Dean of Instruction ASSISTANTS Takes a Variety oj Stajj Work to Keep Fuuctioniug. Robert Abernathy handles the recruiting office, main- tains the ' available for duty ' and assignment roster and handles the archives section of the college. As director of extension, he supervises off campus class organizations and the high school visitation program. As Alumni sec- retary he handles the placement bureau for those who are seeking new jobs. In this capacity he also maintains the vital statistics of alumni and records their accomplish- ments for the historical record. Robert AbemathyD Wf or of Field Services Gene H. Sloan is the nearest thing to a S-2 that you can find on the campus. He supervises the publications and aids with the public relations and recruiting program of the college. He also acts as chairman of the athletic, the publications, and student activity budget committee. With his student assistants, several thousand press and radio releases are prepared each year. Peggy Jennings, Bob Brooks, Glendel Bryson and Carey Armistead are student assistants in the public relations department. T. B. Woodmore and his assistant, Mr. James Jackson, combine the duties of company clerk with that of finance officers for the college as an S-4 section. These two men are among the first that the freshmen meet at registra- tion — as they collect fees. It is through this office that all requisitions for equipment, supplies and services pass. To the faculty members, the student employees and the maintenance department, the end of the month ' s func- tion of paymaster makes this a popular office. Eugene H. Sloan — Director of Publications JAMES W. }Ka SO — Assistant Bursar T. B. WOODMORE— Bar r r y ASSISTANTS Charles Murphy, athletic director, and Dr. Elbert Patty, athletic business manager, are the top-sergeants of MTSC ' s athletic-recreational division. Both are alum- ni of MTSC and had achieved outstanding high school coaching records before Uncle Sam took them on a tour. Returning home they have turned their talents to creating successful Raider teams, and like all other extra-curri- cular activities — making athletics pay its way. SECRETARIES As Busy As Bees, the Secret aries Keep the Administrators in Order. As I entered the main building one day, I heard a noise which sounded like a woodpecker. I floated down the hall until I found a room where this odd-sounding noise was coming from and I noticed a young lady sit- ting at a table. She was making the noise on a strange looking machine. I later learned that she was one of the capable and skilled secretaries who keep the office busi- ness in working order. This office is filled with tables, files and strange looking machines like the one on which the lady was punching keys. They tell me this machine is called a typewriter. I perched myself on top of one of the filing cabinets and observed these ladies at work. It seems that the president of the college and each one of the deans have their own secretaries, who are essen- tial in keeping the records straight. These women work many hours writing letters, cutting stencils, keeping books, tabulating and recording each student ' s grades, sending out business letters, and keeping accurate and complete files of the students ' records and progress re- ports. At the end of each quarter many of the secretaries, with the assistance of selected students, record and send out the grades to the students. Each secretary knows her job well, and the office operates smoothly and efficiently. They also serve as individual bureaus of information be- cause they usually know everything that is going on around the school. The secretarial staff uses patience, knowledge and skill to make for an efficient part of the MTSC school system. SECRETARIAL STAFF SEATED AROUND TABLE: Mrs. Macon Manson; Mrs. Blond Sweeney; Mrs. Wanda Earle, Mrs. Norene Hudgens; Mrs. Thelma Sloan; Mrs. Sally Brunson; Mrs. Betty Lynn Gentry; Mrs. Jane Warner; Mrs. Bonnie McHenry; Mrs. Eleanor Mat- thews; Mrs. Evelyn Turney; Mrs. Carolyn HoUoway; Mrs. Charlotte Heinz. Business Administration faculty members are: seated. Miss Elaine Stepp, Mrs. Ruth Garland, Mrs. Henrietta Wade; standing, Charles G. Moore, Gene H. Sloan, E. W. Midgett (department head), and Hollie Sharp. IV ' e Are Ready After Work In BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Ten years ago Business Administration attained de- partmental status and this year 324 chose this field as a major. To the traditional offerings of typing, shorthand and bookkeeping have come additions in advanced stenog- raphy, secretarial science, business law, methods and ma- terials in accounting, advanced accounting, advertising, auditing, taxation, business math, salesmanship, business English and business machines. The department continues to certify teachers for any business subjects taught in the secondary schools an in- creasing number of majors in this department add eco- nomics as a minor and graduate to enter banking, insur- ance accounting and business executive positions. Departmental offerings now include a major in Busi- ness Administration, Secretarial Science and Teacher Training with one and two-year terminal programs available for those who wish to register as special stu- dents and secure business school training with college credit. More offering in night classes are available in this department than any other except education. RUTLEDGE HALL MONOHAN HALL The Principal Thing at MTSC Is Still EDUCATION ' In the dear, dim days ' this college was called Middle Tennessee Normal, later Tennessee State Teachers Col- lege. With expansion into a liberal arts program and vocational offerings, it is still the primary aim of the col- lege to provide teachers. Approximately 8 5 per cent of 407 seniors in the 1956 class will qualify for teaching certificates. Since the undergraduate and graduate divisions of the college are so much concerned with meeting the in- creased demand for well-trained teachers, the selection, general education, guidance and in-service professional growth of the teacher continue to be dominant concerns of the faculty. The college campus is the center for educational con- ferences, clinics and workshops throughout the year. Through the division of extension, classes are conducted for hundreds of teachers in scores of communities an- nually. By maintaining the Training School as an integral part of the Murfreesboro school system and co-operating closely with the local high schools, the college offers student teachers at least one quarter work under the guidance of experienced and skilled teachers in actual classroom situations. Such training insures that MTSC graduates go to the school room front with valuable combat ' experience. Members of the Education Department are: seated, Howard Kirksey, Ralph Dunham, Belt Keathley, Kenimer Morgan, Miss Mary HaU, N. C. Beasley, James H. Swann; standing, Roy Simpson, W. B. Bowdoin (department head), James Martin, Finis W. Poole, Hilary Parker, Bealer Smotherman. Members of the Language department faculty are: seated, BifBe Moore, Lane Boutwell, Miss Emily Calcott, Miss Elizabeth Schardt, Mrs. Virginia Peck, Guy Battle, Edwin Howard; standing, Eugene Wiggins, Greg Coleman, Richard Peck (department head), S. Carroll Evins, William Beasley. Reading, Writing and Speaking Are Found In LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Basic training is necessary in college, too. In the Department of Languages, all who come this way must face indoctrination. To meet the requirements for a B. S. degree one must complete 18 hours in English. For the B. A. degree, additional English and a minimum of 18 hours in foreign languages must be completed. The volunteer for regular duty as an English major must present a minimum of 45 hours in English and must pass a ' comprehensive ' written and oral examina- tion in his senior year. This examination will not be required after this year. Through the division of speech those interested in forensics and the drama gain valuable experience in inter-collegiate competition with practical experience in all phases of radio and theater. Courses in journalism round out the offerings in the field of communications. In these courses theory is com- bined with experience, the results appearing in the SIDELINES, the college newspaper, and the MID- LANDER, the yearbook. SMITH HALL LYON HALL Mental Alertness Is Stimulated By MATHEMATICS Basic in war and national defense as well as peaceful industry, mathematics is an inviting field for the student. The usual four year program of collegiate mathe- matics is supplemented at MTSC by courses in methods of teaching mathematics, surveying, and courses es- pecially designed for business majors. Perhaps no department has expanded as rapidly in recent years as that of mathematics. The demand for skilled mathematicians at Oak Ridge, AEDC, Redstone Arsenal and in private industry in the TVA area served by the college has stimulated an increasing number to undertake work in this basic science. Combining with the department of industrial arts and the division of physics, the mathematics department has developed a pre-engineering curriculum through three years work that is approved by the major engi- neering schools. Many of our graduates in this field are moving immediately into engineering or are taking an additional year of graduate study for an engineering de- gree. Meantime the department is faced with increased ap- peals from school superintendents for mathematics teachers. Members of the Mathematics department faculty are: Horace Jones (department head). Miss Tommie Reynolds, Jesse Smith, Roy Simp- son, and Robert McCliniock. Social Science faculty members include: seated. Miss OIlie Green, Norman Parks (department head), Robert Martin, William T.Wind- ham, Newell Moore, C. C. Sims; standing, E. B. Baldwin, Clayton L. James, Robert Corlew, Billy Mac Jones, Firman Cunningham, Roscoe Strickland. Students Discover Their Cultural Heritage hi SOCIAL SCIENCE If the soldier fights best for the cause to which he is dedicated, the civilian, logically, serves best that which he appreciates through understanding. They learn a lot about the accomplishments of soldiers and the duties of civilians in social studies. It is then in this field that the students ' counter-intel- ligence is alerted to recognize, analyze and evaluate propaganda forces while grasping the synthesis of their culture base and developing the understanding that will fortify them to meet any ideological challenge. Here they study the forces of economics, the trends of history, the impact of geography, the organization of government, the movements in sociology and the con- tributions of the humanities to life. This department is one of the largest and oldest in the college. A varied curriculum offers majors and minors in the various fields of the social studies or in combinations. In addition to encouraging students to teach the social studies, many of MTSC ' s more recent graduates have found profitable careers in federal gov- ernment and state agencies, in law, personnel and coun- seling work. JONES HALL Designed to Stimulate Study Stands The LIBRARY THE LIBRARY Books have been the mute comrades and the mental inspiration for man since the art of writing was de- veloped. Although bursting its beams with the load carried, the squat building in the center of the quadrangle, this message center of our activities, has served us well. Now there is in process of construction a commodious new building located between the Science Building and Jones Hall into which the 50,000 volumes, the audio-visual laboratory, the textbook center, library science class- rooms, the reading and periodical rooms will soon be moved. With increased space will come increased opportuni- ties. The ' Tennessee Room which already includes a fine collection of books by Tennesseans and about Ten- nesseans, with state maps, papers, and pamphlets, will take on added importance that may well make it second only to the State Archives as a source for those seeking information about the Volunteer State. The Library Staff is composed of Miss Virginia Wilkinson, Miss Catherine Clark, Sarah Moore, Miss Leneil Edwards. F ' lUl SEATED: Miss Anne Ashley, Mrs. Andrena Briney, Mrs. Mary Manle , Mrs Fav Phillips, Mrs. Madge Manson, Miss Margaret Lowe, Mrs. Laura Smith. STANDING: Mrs. Tempie Hansford, Miss Marguerite Harrison, Miss Mary Bell Jordan, Lynn Banks, Mrs. Margaret Wood, Miss Leneil Edwards, Hilary Parker, Principal, Miss Mary Frances Snell, Charles Hansford. Prospective Teachers at MTSC Learn hy Doing. TRAINING SCHOOL ' Chillun ' in my day and time didn ' t have the advan- tage that those of 1956 possess. We had to make a long trek to a ' boarding school ' if we got any education. Nowadays, big, sleek orange vehicles roll out through the country and bring the youngsters into a free school. There they have all kinds of advantages with the very best teachers. I hear some colleges call the schools where student teachers work demonstration schools. ' The one here has been called a Training School. There those college teachers who expect to teach are called ' student teachers ' and work under the guidance of highly skilled educa- tional technicians. THE MTSC TRAINING SCHOOL Careers May Be Found In HOME ECONOMICS Chow call would have been a welcome sound with girls like these serving. Strangely enough both boys and girls enjoy work in this department. Classes in home management and nutrition often find brawny athletes satisfying the requirements of a health and physical edu- cation major sitting beside girls who plan to become dieticians or food chemists. The husband of the house- wife probably appreciates the department more than any other man — for it is here that the distaff member of the twosome has learned to budget wisely and work skill- fully. Sewing comes in handy for the boys who need stripes on ROTC uniforms or the girl who displays with pride her departmentally achieved formal for the military ball. At least one man, planning a career as a designer, has received a major here within the past few years. Many rich and satisfying experiences for a happier and more successful life come from work in the Home Living Center. Work in the nursery school, opportuni- ties for practice in interior decorating and furniture ar- rangement and the home management courses are popu- lar. In the past few years, graduates in home economics have achieved recognition as high school and college teachers, home demonstration agents, Four-H club lead- ers, fashion experts, models, nutritionists, food chem- ists and dieticians. Many, however, write the depart- ment letters of glowing appreciation for the knowledge that has made them better homemakers. Home Economics faculty members are: Miss Agnes Nelson, Miss Helen Stevens, Mrs, Douglas Shannon, and Mrs, Virginia Muncie (department head). THE HOME MANAGEMENT CENTER Faculty members in the Agriculture department are: B. B. Gracy, Jr., Eddie Lee Thomason, Frank L. Himes, C. N. Stark (department head). For the More Abinidant hije THE AGRICULTURE CENTER The rest of the troopers would certainly be surprised if they came back to the woods where they rested their horses while Forrest planned the tactics to release the prisoners held in the Rutherford Courthouse. These woods have become a part of a 375 acre campus and farm at Middle Tennessee State College. Here stu- dents are prepared to become sound, practical farmers as well as to train for the professional services in agri- culture, soil conservation or teaching. The Agriculture center consists of three buildings. There are classrooms, storerooms, offices, a woodwork- ing shop and a well equipped farm metal working and blacksmith shop in these buildings. The center is lo- cated adjacent to the dairy barn and near the poultry and other farm buildings that it may serve as a labora- tory for many phases of agricultural work. The Agriculture Department has the responsibility of planning the entire program for the farm, and many agri- culture majors earn a part of their expenses working on the farm. No other department of the college has re- ceived such widespread favorable publicity through the press, radio and television in the past three years. The center also serves as a meeting site for the activities of both adult and student agrarian organizations. THE AGRICULTURE CENTER THE MUSIC BUILDING MTSC Keeps A Harmonious Melody in MUSIC Now I feel ' old Bed ' would be right at home at our football games — what with outriders bearing Confede- rate battle flags and the band playing ' Dixie. ' I know he would like the way the MTSC marching band ' sounds off ' although neither the melody nor the lyrics might be familiar. He would feel at home when the Sacred Harp Singers get to harmonizing on some of the old ballads. His ' critter company ' would really go for some of the foot patting music that emanates from the Music Building when some of the combos get to combining. But most of all, I feel, he would take pride, as we do, in the perfection that marks the work of the chorus, the orchestra, the organ guild, the concert band, and the various vocal and instrumental ensembles that are in such recurrent demand for concert tours or public pro- grams over our State. He would enjoy the colorful pageantry of our annual opera, produced in cooperation with the speech and art divisions. He would revel in the spirit of comradeship that prevails in the summer Band and Choral camps. The senior concerts, the student guest conductors, the unrivaled rapport between faculty and students is re- flected in the spirit that seems peculiar to this depart- ment — a spirit that brings the old timers back year after year for Christmas gatherings or summer reunions. Music department faculty members are: seated, Mary Dillon Scott, Margaret Wright, Mrs. Rubye Taylor Sanders, Kenneth Pace; standing, Philip Howard, Neil Wright (department head), Mrs. Ortrun Gilbert, Charles Hansford, John K. Colbert. Members of the Science faculty are: seated, Douglas Shields, Din Scott, J. Eldred Wiser (department head), Ellis Rucker, James W. Gil- bert; standing, Exum D. Watts, H. R. DeSelm, John Patten, James H. Eads, Eugene Strobel. For the Professions or Industry the Students Are Stimulated By SCIENCE During my tour here, I found that the southeast corner is occupied by the Science Hall from which come some of the most awful smells experienced hereabouts since Bragg evacuated to Rosencrans in January of 1863. But General Hardee ' s medical corpsmen would have liked to have had access to our labs. Major John Menden- hall ' s massed artillerymen on the heights above Stone ' s River would have delighted in the possibilities found in the chemistry and physics laboratories. We, privates in any army, would like to get into the modern version of corn pone and cow peas stirred up by the ladies of the South in the home economics kitchens. It helps to know the difference between a bomb calo- rimeter and a Beckman spectrophotometer before you get into one of the seventy-five cent word classes — but you can just bet you will not only be able to spell and pronounce but use the interesting gadgets before you complete pre-med, pre-pharmacy, pre-nursing, pre- dental, pre-electronics engineering. You ' ll know the difference in embryology, zoology, electrostatics, nu- cleoproteins, immunochemistry, ionization, halogens, morphology, and kinesiology. You ' ll also find the gateway to the great professions, the most fascinating new scientific discoveries and will be challenged to learn as you have never dared before. And you ' ll be inspired to carry the torch of scientific knowledge to others as a teacher or practitioner. SCIENCE HALL T IT ALUMNI MFMORIAL HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDING Building Strong Bodies Is the Aim of HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION The SOP of any army calls for the men to be in good physical condition. The health and stamina of the group has been a paramount problem for any com- mander. At MTSC the health, recreation and physical educa- tion program is co-ordinated to provide the strongest of bodies to support those keen minds other departments foster. A second aim is to teach the individual whole- some recreations that will make his whole life enjoy- able. Six hours of health and physical education are re- quired of all. Many choose this as a major or minor. In addition to the health and nutrition work, there is a wide range of intramural and class activities covering more than forty fields of group or individual play. Camping, swimming, dancing, golf, tennis, wrest- ling-to name a few-offer individual challenge. From football to folk games, group activities are provided for those who would lead youth as teachers, counselors, and other leaders of young people. Health and Physical Education faculty members are: seated, Miss Buleah Davis, Mrs. Betty Littlefield, Mrs. Ethel Preston Trice, Francis Riel (department head); standing, Joe Black Hayes, Charles Greer, Elbert Patty, Charles Murphy.

It ' s just like walking, put one foot in front of the other and step off smartly. Hup, hite, your left, your . . . And now this is your rifle. It ' s the best friend you ' ll ever have. Take care of it, or you won ' t live long. ' Yep, it ' s the same old stuff they fed me for sure. But there have been a lot of improvement over our cap and ball rifle, to say nothing of our sidearms and vehicles. But the same old Volunteer rebel spirit is there. Their Corps rates among the top outfits in the South and is housed in a modern plant. MTSC ' s is a Branch General unit of the ROTC. They turn out second lieutenants by the dozen for everything for which the Army needs a shavetail. Now and then some of their glory hungry boys decide to transfer to the Marines and others go into the Navy or become knights of the wild blue. But after all, they ' re on the same team and the basic here is good for boots. If you really want to enjoy life join the ROTC. In the summer after the junior year there is a six weeks camp.

FINE ARTS They ' ve come a long way from the village smithy and carpenter shop to become do-it-yourself fans or train for work on ballistic missiles. Six unit shops and the drawing studio with hun- dreds of thousands of dollars in equipment have made it possible for MTSC ' s industrial arts shops to turn out anything from an aluminum fishing boat to the first mod- el earth satellite. Almost every student has at least one course in the Industrial Arts building during his college work in keeping with the college aim that any well educated person can do something well with his hands. Machine drawings or architectural blue prints, lathe operations, a dining room suite, a tooled leather belt or plastic desk set, house wiring or plumbing, you name it and the MTSC shops will produce it. Had I been fortunate enough to have been a college student before the war, I would have likely studied a lot of what is called the humanities. I know there would have been such things as Latin and Greek, logic, ethics, and philosophy — which are just words to know and not courses in so many modern colleges. But with all the emphasis on the functional and voca- tional studies, there is a department at MTSC that keeps alive the tradition of the liberal arts college of my day. Here in the fine arts division there is a close relation with the music and speech arts divisions in the produc- tion of musical and dramatic presentations. All teachers of this period must have some art appreciation and knowledge. There are others who seek a career in com- mercial art and creative design. Fine Arts faculty members are: Charles M. Brandon, Fred Rubens, and Mrs. Hester Rogers Ray. H. MILLER LANIER AND A GROUP OF AVIATION STUDENTS For Business and Pleasure AVIATION Now you know if Johnny Reb had possessed one of those flying machines it wouldn ' t have been necessary for all the Confederate ladies to donate silk petticoats to make baloons for observation purposes at Petersburg. Why, danged if we couldn ' t fill some tow sacks with gun- powder, flown over Nashville and practically have anni- hilated the Yankee army. As it is, MTSC is one of the few colleges in the coun- try that offer full credit all the way through a commercial and instructor ' s license. Along with the flying lessons, students are able to obtain technical instruction in navi- gation, radio, meteorology and other phases of aviation. Since 1942, Mr. Miller Lanier, the present head of the division, has been an instructor of the staff. He has been in charge of the program since 1948. REGIONAL LIBRARY Middle Tennessee State College is the center of one of the regional library divisions which offer library services to both urban and rural centers in Tennessee. Two book- mobiles operate from the college delivering materials to ' stations ' located over a nine county area served in this region. An efficient local staff keeps the clerical work incident to the regional program functioning. Miss Sydniciel Shinn is regional librarian. LEFT: Janet Smith, Mary Clapp, Ann Smith, Nan S.

No matter what the time of day, this large, spacious building is usually brimming over with students engaged in many and varied activities. THE STUDKNT I NION BriLDING HOUSEMOTHERS The Housemothers itcb Over the Students As ould Their Mothers. As I was strolling around the campus, I heard stu- dents talking about their ' housemothers. ' Back in ' 63 we just said ' mother. ' So I decided to find out just exactly what they meant by ' housemother. ' I didn ' t have to wonder long because when I visited the first dorm I discovered that the housemother is a very charming and understanding Southern lady. She watches over the stu- dents in her dorm just like Ma watched over us when I was a kid. Each girls ' dormitory has a housemother who acts as sort of a supervisor. She keeps harmony among the dorm residents and is really a substitute mother for the girls living so far away from home. Even the boys ' dorms. Smith and Jones, have a housemother — and a housefather. These ' fathers ' keep harmony among the boys who live in these small communities, but I would imagine that this is a more difficult task than the housemothers have in the girls ' dorms. After all, boys will be boys, you know. The dorm mothers are always on hand at every hour of the day or night in case of sick- ness or accidents. These women are a necessary part of MTSC. Mrs. Charles Greer, Mrs. Evelyn Felder, Mrs. Mattie Lou Parks, Mrs. Myrtle Sullivan, Mrs. Josephine Patterson, Mrs. Alma Bass, Mrs. Doris Jones. No class; then you can enjoy T V TV ROOM Studeuh Gather Here to Watch Their Favorite Programs. One of the most frequented sections of this Student Union Building is the television room. They didn ' t have this machine called television when I was alive and kick- ing. I went up there recently and saw many people sit- ting on comfortable couches watching a box in the corner. It had people in it who talked. I looked in- side to see if they really were in there, but all I could see was a mess of tangled wires, glass, and pieces of metal. RECREATION ROOM Rook Players and Bopsters Meet in the Rec Room. I had never heard of a ' rec room ' until I visited MTSC last year. I found it was supervised by a very charming lady, Mrs. John Bass, who is noted for her smile and sparkling personality. Mrs. Bass is from Columbia and she came here in the Fall of ' 52. Since then she has served as assistant to Mrs. Evelyn Felder, who is hostess of the Student Union Building. All of the latest bop and jitterbug steps (whatever they are) are given a try in this recreation room where Mrs. John Bass oversees the activities. Here card and pool sharks as well as ping-pong champions are given a chance to exhibit their skill. Some of those odd hit tunes of today — at least to me they are odd — are often heard coming from that contraption called a juke box, while Chinese checkers and canasta are being enjoyed by those on the sidelines. To win you have to keep your eye on the ball. w i THESE SMILING FACES GREET YOU AT MEALTIME CAFETERIA The Army of Students Eats in This Mess Hall. One of the things I like best is eating. So, I looked for a place to eat on my first visit. After a short search, I located the cafeteria in the Student Union Building, which provides food for the army of students. The din- ing section is a room which is something like an army mess hall. Serving three meals a day, the cafeteria oper- ates under the new management of Mr. Eugene Broad- well, representing the Slater Foods System. Student workers participate by composing the entire serving staff. LUNCHROOM Voices Are Raised Above the Jukebox in the Lunchroom. For meeting a friend there ' s no better or more con- venient place than the lunchroom. Mrs. Ollie Travis and her able crew of student workers supply the students with sandwiches and sodas to go with the heated discus- sions that originate in the lunchroom. A juke box is one of the many assets of this popular room, and students come here every hour of the day to swap jokes and secret gossip over steaming cups of coffee or hot chocolate WANT A LATE BREAKFAST OR A QUICK LUNCH. COME TO THE LUNCHROOM books! X)RE STAFF: Gladys Smart, Georgianna West, Anne HoUoway, Bob Brooks, Charles Phillips. BOOKSTORE Almost Anything You Need Is Books, school supplies, magazines, stationery, pen- nants, jackets, duffle bags, laundry supplies and greeting cards are just a few of the countless articles which may be purchased in the bookstore. Mr. Charles Phillips manages the bookstore with the assistance of Mrs. Found in This Versatile Store. Gladys Smartt. This room in the Student Union Build- ing is sort of a combination drugstore, grocery store, bookstore, five and ten, and jewelry shop. Any small items that the students want for classwork, gifts or house- keeping can be purchased here. INFIRMARY POST OFFICE In Case of Illness, You Get More Than Just a Pill Here. Back in the old days when anybody was sick, the medics just gave them a pill, but the people here at MTSC do things different. They built an infirmary which will accommodate twenty students, and the com- petent nurse and doctor are always on hand to take care of any illnesses that arise. The shelves of the infirmary are lined with bottles containing cold pills, cough drops, and almost any kind of medicine you could want for minor aches and pains. If necessary the students can transfer from their dorms to the infirmary where the fa- cilities are sufficient to give comfort during convales- cence. Dr. William Shacklett is the M. D. in charge with the assistance of registered nurse, Mrs. Melba Newton. The Post Office Is Stampeded Daily by Mail-Hungry Students. The post office at MTSC is similar to those at boot camps all over the nation. You can see everyone on the campus there at least twice daily. Why, I was almost stampeded by the rush after eight o ' clock classes. This was followed in the same pattern also after one o ' clock classes. You can see cute belles maybe sigh, and young, strong rebels excitedly anticipate what they will find in a letter from home, from their girl friend, or from a pal. To help out in many ticklish situations with stamps, packages, forgotten combinations, and other items is one grand woman, this person being Miss Iree McElroy. She constantly tries to help the poor harassed souls who apDear before her window dailv. LYNN BANKS ASB PRESIDENT Lynn Banks is Commanding Officer oj the ASB. This young Southern gentleman is Lynn Banks, president of the Associated Student Body this year. Hailing from Manchester, he entered MTSC in 1952 after serving with the U. S. Army in Korea, and since then has become very popular with his fellow students. As chief executive of the ASB, Lynn ' s duties include pre- siding over assembly programs, being responsible for all student functions on the campus, and serving as a go- between for the students, the organizations, and the ad- ministration. Using his office on the southwest end of the third floor of the Student Union Building as his base of operations, Lynn spends one-third of his waking hours looking after the functions of the ASB. While at MTSC, he is majoring in industrial arts and has minors in the fields of education and social science. He is in- terested in farming, but isn ' t exactly sure of his plans after graduation. ASB Student Activities Are Formed hy the Associated Student Body. The Associated Student Body is one of the most im- portant and necessary organizations here on the campus. It is proud of its accomplishments toward creating a more democratic school. These hard working stu- dents are the foundation of the student government. The desires and needs of the individual student are empha- sized and carefully considered. Something that every good army should have is a group to further the under- standing between its officers and men. The ASB con- stantly strives to bring about harmony and cooperation between the faculty and each student. Each spring quarter an election is held in which the students carry on a campaign to put the students of their choice in office as president and vice-president of the Associated Student Body. Each member is chosen with thought and serious- ness, as he must hold a position of respect and respon- sibility on campus. This year the ASB is under the direction of Lynn Banks and Fay Presnell Turner.

The highest judicial order on the campus is made up of five of the second, third, and fourth year students. The model for the school ' s Supreme Court is one which was established only 80 years before General Forrest ' s encounter with those-er-Northerners. There is little dif- ference in the two, except in size. It is important to the college that the court ' s essential decisions or reprimands be made so that in years to come the students can accept the increasing restrictions of modern society. The court consists of two seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore who are selected for a one-year term by the president of the Associated Student Body and confirmed by a majority vote of Congress. One senior is then ap- pointed as chief justice, with the four other members acting as justices. CONGRESS These 13 People Compose the ASB ' s Legislative Branch. Well, here is an important branch of MTSC ' s gov- ernment, and the members are the students ' own repre- sentatives. There ' s no thought of seceding in this group. Congress serves as the law-making body on the campus. These capable students may make the school ' s laws and by-laws, and help orient fellow students re- garding the machinery of the ASB. This group is com- posed of thirteen well-selected members. They are elected by the classes at the first class meetings of the year just as the U. S. Congress members are selected by their representative states. The only difference is that the state nominees carry on campaigns for their elections and these students don ' t. The vice-president of the ASB serves as chairman of this group.

These barracks sure are nothing short of being close to the hotel class and they ' re a far cry from sleeping on the ground in a tent as I used to do. There are five such buildings here, three for the women and two for the men. Like all men ' s barracks, there ' s no maid service in either Smith or Jones Hall. All the work of cleaning rooms is done by every one of the inhabitants. The women ' s dorms include Rutledge Hall for the freshman girls; Lyon Hall for the sophomores; and Monohan Hall for the juniors and seniors. They have an annual open house during which all the relatives and friends visit the dorm and the girls are kept busy clean- ing up their bunks and putting the place in apple pie order. STUDENT SOCIAL COMMIHEE IVant a Big Dance ' See the Student Social Committee. When I heard that there was going to be a big dance on the campus, I thought that I ' d drop in and see if they could still do the Virginia Reel like we did back in the sixties. But no suh! They ' ere doing some crazy dance called the ' hop ' or ' bop ' or something like that. During the dance a young lady made an announcement about a big formal dance that ' s coming up soon. Later, I found out that this young lady is vice-president of the student body and serves as chairman of the committee in charge of such social events on the campus. This group of stu- dents, along with the faculty social committee, has the duties of making up the social calendar for each quarter and planning the social events. Members of the Social Committee pictured are: Marlyn Ann Parker, Rutledge Hall; Fay Presnell Turner, Chairman; Martha Moore- head, Monohan Hall; Carolyn Gonce, Lyon Hall; Price Harrison, Town Representative; Jerry Williamson, Smith Hall. Not pictured: Bufford Crain, Jones Hall; Harry Brunson, Vet Village. Members of the Girls ' Dormitory Council: Shirley Pogue, Freshman; JoAnn Redding, Vice-President, Junior; Catherine Roberts, Sec- retary, Senior; Patricia Wilson, President, Senior; Nancy Sue Ford, Junior; Mary Jo Putman, Sophomore; Joyce Watson, Sophomore. GIRLS ' DORM COUNCIL BOYS ' DORM COUNCIL Don ' t Break That Rule; You May Get Campused. While sitting in the lobby of the Student Union Build- ing, I saw a girl come in who had an excited expression on her face. She told a friend that she was to appear before the girls ' dorm council. As far as I could under- stand, she had not abided by the dorm rules, and the girls on the dorm council were to decide her fate. Each girls ' dorm, Monohan, Rutledge, and Lyon, has repre- sentatives on the council, which is primarily concerned with the rules and regulations in the dorms. The repre- sentatives are selected very carefully by the girls in their respective dorms at the first Wednesday night dorm meeting. When any girl breaks a rule, she has to appear before the council to plead her case. The council is sort of a minor court which works hand in hand with the Supreme Court. The discipline here works fine under the leadership of president Pat Wilson. Like the Army, There ' s a Governing Board Jor the Men. The controversies of an incident are originally brought to light for judgment in the boys ' dormitory council, one of the two lower courts on campus. The cases can be appealed to the supreme court, but the dorm council is usually successful in gaining satisfactory con- clusions. This is true in that its members, all students, can employ sufficient understanding to provide verdicts fair to both parties involved. Jones Hall and Smith Hall, the men ' s dormitories, each have councils for the purpose of regulating the dorm rules. These councils are like the governing boards of the army, so I ' ve been told. And if a problem comes up that needs more consideration, it is brought before the Inter-Dorm Council, composed of representatives from both Smith and Jones Halls.

VET VILLAGE frame Apartments aud Trailers Make Vp Vet Village. Now where to? That small village o er there? Oh, that ' s Vet Village. This section of the campus provides homes for the veterans and their families and the married students. This is one place we definitely don ' t want to leave out of our tour. The living quarters are composed of white frame apartments and trailers. Let ' s stop in at the community grocery and see what ' s going on. This canteen is a convenience for the housewives as well as a provider for their needs. You want to go into the back to the recreation room? This serves as a social center for the inhabitants of the village. It ' s a place to chew the 48 fat, ' and occasionally a wild game of ping-pong is carried on. Yes, you ' re right, it is located at an advantageous spot — close to the campus, yet with the privacy of a vil- lage. A representative is chosen from the Village to serve on the student council, and the area is represented as any other group on the campus. Oh, yes, you could live there if you were in school here; that is, if you were married. Well, if you ' re finished with your questions about the Village, let ' s be off to other places. You really like this place? Maybe you can visit it again sometime.

I can see that everybody on this campus has many opportunities to take part in organizations and extra-curricular ac- tivities. They tell me that you can learn as much about life outside the classroom as in- side it. One oj my old army buddies visited here not too long ago and he said that he noticed many students who would go without food and sleep to publish the paper, work on a float, decorate Jor a dance, or learn lines Jor a play. I don ' t see how they can do it! Practically every department on the cam- pus has a club which furthers the interest in that particular section. From the time a stu- dent is a ' green freshman ' he is urged to join a club and he gradually works toward be- coming a member of one of the numerous honor societies on the campus. Of course, classes rank first in the day ' s activities. Authorities say that there are about 40 different organizations on the campus. These clubs provide opportunities for leadership and fellowship to all students. A y general said to me once that I would get out of anything exactly ivhat I put into it. I ' ve found out that even in the army this ad- vice was pretty good. From watching the students around here, it seems that they have applied it to both studies and outside activi- ties. Let ' s see ivhat these MTSC organizations have to offer. 50 THEY WORK I N THEIR ORGANIZATIONS George Gardner, Business Editor; Don Jackson, Editor-in- Chief; Lois Stedman, Assistant Editor. Business Staff: Frank Gardner, Mary Lou Couch, George Gardner MIDLANDER A Good View oj the Campus Is Offered by the MIDLANDER As the days of January waned into the past, I hap- pened to pass by the door of the publications office. A small group of students were hard at work with type- writers, pencils, rulers, and erasers. All were busy as bees, racing to meet the February 15 deadline for the 1956 MiDLANDER. Late in the spring of 1955, editor Don Jackson met with his cohorts; associate editor, Lois Stedman and business manager, George Gardner. To- gether they laid the plans for the publication which would condense the atmosphere of Middle Tennessee State College between its covers and yet give the students a good view of the campus. By fall the staff was in action. Working from morning to midnight, they gathered copy, snapped pictures, counted words, measured lines, made trips to the printer and engraver, sold ads, and scurried to meet the February deadline that loomed darkly be- fore them. Now, as that date approached, the intensity of work increased among the staff members; the editors forgot to crack their whips and dug in with the others Feature and Organization: SITTING: Elma Murdock, Feature Editor; Patsy Ambrester, Organization Editors; Mary Jo Putman.

Sighs of relief were numerous as the last piece of copy was completed, the last picture was identified, and the final dummy rested on the work table. Wads of paper on the floor, ink-stained fingers, scattered rulers, and tired shoulders were mute evidence of the amount of work put into the annual. The 1956 Midlander is a combination of many things besides words and photo- graphs. Behind the final product are many hours of work, headaches with layouts, discussions with the print- ers, pictures with unknown faces that lack names, and general confusion that the student who receives it does not know about. Besides being ' just a yearbook, ' the Midlander gives the students at MTSC practical work in their fields of interest. The artist designs the layout, the photographer snaps and prints his pictures, the business manager sells advertising, the budding writer and inquisitive news reporter write and rewrite reams of copy. They combine efforts to present the students with something to help them recall their college days and to give the outsider a picture of MTSC as it really is in the eyes of both students and faculty members.

SIDELINES A Mixture of Headaches and Layout Sheets Make the SIDELINES. LOIS STEDMAN, EDITOR There ' s a room down on the first floor of the Ad- ministration Building called the publications office, and I ' m telling you, the people who stay down there look like they don ' t know whether they ' re coming or going. They are that busy. The office is a comfortable confusion of old newspapers, rulers, bottles of glue, pencils, type- writing machines, and desks. At the beginning of this last year.

Wanda Ellis, Proofreader, Mildred Dorris, Copy Reader, Win- ston Bennet, Photographer. EDITORIAL STAFF Lois Stedman, Editor-in-Chief, George Gardner, Makeup Edi- tor. George Gardner called their first staff meeting composed of students interested in journalism and advertising. Before the editor was a sheet of assignments, and in a short time each person had been given one of them. The last words of the editor were, ' Deadline is Wed- nesday — don ' t miss it! ' Several days went by, and then it was Wednesday. One by one the reporters brought their written work in, some of it typewritten and some of it in pencil. As the last piece of copy settled into the copy box, the editor ' s work began. Each article had to be read and sometimes rewritten, errors had to be checked, copy had to be typed. The fingers of the copy- readers flew as they checked and checked it again. As fast as it was finished, the copy was speeded to the print- ers where it was to be set up in type, the second step toward becoming part of a newspaper. Pictures were marked down to size and sent to the engraver. Early Monday morning the business manager, Mar- jorie Harrison, brought in the layout sheets with the ads marked out on them, and the proofs came back from the printers. Now came the tedious and careful work of laying out the dummy. Slowly, but surely, the editors worked over the sheets of paper, measuring column inches, cutting proof down to size, writing headlines, and gluing the proof into place. Hours went by and finally the work was done. Empty coke bottles, cigar- ette-stained fingers, a floor littered with scraps of paper were grim reminders of the hard hours spent in putting the paper to bed. All that remained were a few hours with the printer, and the bi-monthly paper would be in the hands of the students, presenting them with a cross- section of campus news, society, sports and pictures. These hours spent is the world of the editors every other week as they struggle to bring the student projects to the students themselves.

BUCHANAN PLAYERS Through Drama Production the Players Foster Interest in Dramatics. ' While making a tour of the campus, I ventured into the auditorium one Tuesday night, where a group of students were having some sort of meeting. I asked one of my buddies what ail the commotion was about, and he told me that it was a meeting of the Buchanan Players. Now I didn ' t know any more than I did before, so I asked, ' What in tarnation are the Buchanan Players. ' ' ' There wasn ' t anything like this back in my day. I figured the best thing to do was to hang around and find out. I learned that the Buchanan Players are made up of about 50 students who like to get up on the stage and pretend they ' re someone else. I think they call it ' acting. ' Sounds like a lot of fun to me. Commanding officer of this outfit is Jim Lee, who is very ably assisted by vice- president, William Helton; secretary, Dev Treanor; cor- responding secretary, Ann Tittsworth; Bill Isom, treasu- rer; Jim McBride, cage custodian; and Howard Murrill, sergeant-at-arms. 56 Each quarter the Buchanan Players present a play. During the fall quarter The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial was presented and was a great success. The winter and spring quarters were focused on the production of Romeo and Juliet which was the first Shakespearean play to be given in 15 years on the MTSC stage. These plays are directed by a very nice fellow called BifBe Moore, who is also sponsor of the club. In addition to its plays, the club each year in collaboration with the music department presents an opera. This year it was Paglacci. Amidst all the confusio n during rehearsals and production, these little rebels really learn something about the varied and technical tasks of producing a show- as well as the fine art of acting. The purpose of the club is to train students in dramatic production and to pre- pare members for the national dramatic fraternity. Alpha Psi Omega. As I said before, I ' ll bet it ' s a lot of fun!

I ' m telling you, I never have seen so many of these tongue-twisting names for clubs and organizations. Here ' s one that I want to tell you all about. Alpha Psi Omega, another of those national fraternities, this time in the field of dramatics. I heard somebody say there was going to be a meeting of Alpha Psi Omega after a Bu- chanan Players meeting, so I hung around. I didn ' t have any earthly idea what those sixteen people were going to do. All of them looked familiar, and I found that they were some of those ' actors ' and ' actresses ' that I had seen performing. I was sure surprised to see that play producer, Mr. Biffle Moore, sitting in on the meeting. He must be the general or something of this, too. It seems that you have to be something kind of special to get into this organization. The members must be hard workers, because to gain entrance, you have to earn points by work in the dramatic field. The new Buchanan Players members soon learn how many points they must earn and the fields they must work in for en- trance into Alpha Psi. They enthusiastically pitch into work on the plays to earn the points they need. To be eligible for APO, each person must have experience in several fields. He must have acted in a play, served as a stage manager or assistant director, and also have worked on the crews, such as lighting, publicity, and makeup. Heading the fraternity is William Helton, cast director; and subordinate officers are DeArnold Bar- nette, assistant director; and Lois Stedman, business manager. The purpose of Alpha Psi Omega is to in- crease interest in dramatics. Membership signifies special talent and ability and is reward for efforts in par- ticipation in plays staged by the dramatic organization. I ' ll bet that when a person is invited to join, he feels as good as I did when I was made corporal under Forrest. 58 GAMMA CHI CHAPTER OF PI OMEGA PI Pi Omega Pi Has a Special Interest in Business. Another organization with one of those funny-sound- ing names that I can ' t pronounce is the Gamma Chi Chap- ter of Pi Omega Pi. Now, I ' m still stumped by that one, but I believe that it ' s one of those business fraternities. Of course, you know as well as I do that all fraternities have some kind of business, but this is sort of a special kind of business. All of the people who are majoring in business, or who are going to be business teachers, secretaries, accountants, or hold positions similar to those, join this chapter, which is a part of the national honorary business fraternity of Pi Omega Pi. The purpose is that scholarship, citizenship and eth- ics combined with the ideal of service, form the basis of all worthy enterprises. On the MTSC campus the chap- ter of Pi Omega Pi is fairly young in existence, since it was only organized in April, 1954, after the combined efforts of business-minded faculty members and students brought about its presence here. Now that it is fully es- tablished, it offers membership to people who have at- tained certain requirements in the field of business. To be initiated, a student must have a B ' average in his business subjects and an average grade of C in his other classwork. This year the group selected a fine group of officers with Sam Cobb as president; vice president, Royce Hayes; secretary, Martha Tenpenny; treasurer, Martha Evans Harrison; reporter, Bettye Lynn Knight Gentry; historian, Wayne Evans. The business faculty serves as sponsors. Programs at the meetings help the members to understand better the opportunities in their field, to create better business relationships, and to dis- cover better methods of studying business problems.

I discovered another of those ' fraternities ' while visit- ing MTSC. This one is known as the Alpha Chi Chapter of Epsilon Pi Tau, and believe you me, it is really some organization. Some of those young fellows in the Indus- trial Arts Club make up the membership of Epsilon Pi Tau. I was told that the purpose of this organization is to recognize outstanding students ' efforts in the area of industrial arts education, and the club is only one year old. The members have an annual initiation for new members and meet yearly to eat together at one of those banquets when everyone eats too much and several people talk too much. Ted Hackney, a very competent and efficient young man, presides over the meetings, with Lynn Banks as vice-president, Charles Smith as secre- tary, and Don Martin as treasurer. 60 SIGMA CLUB Sigma Club Alembers Are All Rebel Supporters. Man, on this MTSC campus one of the most exclusive men ' s clubs and one of the smartest ones turns out to be the Sigma Club. When it comes right down to serious- minded, reliable work and establishing fine character as good Southern gents, they do it with quality and skill. The college has seen the Sigma Club from nigh on to 30 years now, and that ' s a lot of years to be kicking up men of such good quality! Thirty-five men are up- standing members of the Sigma Club, and they ' re look- ing for more to add to their group all the time. Charles Hodges presides at each monthly meeting as president; Ted Hackney serves as vice-president; Thomas Stroud takes care of the money and minutes — in other words he is secretary and treasurer. The motto of this group of rebel supporters is sig- nificant of just the kind of men they are and the stand- ards they uphold. It states, Strong in will, to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. ' If I had lived 93 years in the future, I mean, if I were alive now, I ' d have studied hard to become a member of this group. These fellows have excelled in scholastic ability, leadership, and character, and because of this, they have the honor of becoming members of the Sigma Club. The big event with a capital B ' at the end of each year is the Alumni Banquet. Man, what else could be said about this grand organization.

Yes, there ' s quite a few musical organizations on the MTSC campus; in fact, we ' re going to visit one right now. This is the Saunderian Society, which has as its purposes furthering the enjoyment of good music and sponsoring trips to musical events in Nashville, the capital of this great Southern state. The club is under the sponsorship of Miss E. May Saunders, and the officers for the year include Patsy Johnson, president; Jerry Williamson, vice-president; and Pauline Hurt, secretary. PI MU SIGMA Music Majors, Set Your Sights jor Pi Mu Sigma. If you ' re interested in music, then lend your ear in this direction. The group we ' re approaching is the Pi Mu Sigma, composed of a highly selected group of stu- dents. The members are initiated into this group be- cause they surpass others in musical ability and are top- most in excellence. It promotes a high level of skill among these near-professionals to keep the dignity of the music profession, and helps the members to extend their skill in musical ability. Officers include John K. Jackson, president; Joyce Leonard, secretary; Fred Bos- well, sergeant-at-arms; and Mr. Neil Wright, sponsor. SEATED: Ortrun Gilbert, Jane Leech, Carolyn Smoot, Joyce Leonard, Margaret Wright.

Being a true Southerner, one thing I like best about the great South is the helpfulness and willingness to serve that is exhibited by all Southern gentlemen. I found twenty-five young men in a meeting one night thinking up ways to be of service to the school, students, and community. This Circle ' K ' Club is a ' humdinger ' of an organization. Sponsored by the local Kiwanis Club, it offers the same services to MTSC as do the Kiwanians to the town. The faculty member sponsoring these staunch rebels is Dr. Robert Martin. The club ' s staff of officers includes Bobby Cranford, president; Charles Hodges, vice-president; Thomas Stroud, secre- tary; and Dick Dillard, treasurer. AMERICAN GUILD OF ORGANISTS Student Organists Advance Interest in Fine Organ Music. I once had a secret love for music, even as a hardened soldier. This is why I ' m so interested in one organiza- tion here, the American Guild of Organists. Their pur- pose is to advance the cause of worthy church music, and to provide opportunities for meeting to discuss profes- sional topics. There are 15 members this year with Mrs. Mary Scott and Mrs. Margaret Wright as sponsors. Of- ficers are Reba Covington, dean; Charlotte Akers, vice- dean; Mary Lou Givan, secretary; and Doug Kinsey, treasurer. The members attend recitals, evaluate record- ings; and each year the group presents a medal to its dean. SEATED: Douglas Kinsey, Treasurer; Reba Covington, Dean. STANDING: Mary Lou Givan, Secretary; Peggy Medlock, Lou Ella Marlin, Margaret Wright, Sponsor; Gayle Seay, Janet Lewis. SECOND ROW: Peggy Hackler, Mary Scott, Sponsor.

I discovered that some of the most outstanding women students of the college comprise this society. In fact, the purpose of the 2 5-year-old club is to honor these female stu- dents. This society for women was organized in 1930, only 20 years after the school was built, and it serves as recognition for junior and senior girls who excel in scholarship, ser ice, leadership, and character, which are the bases on which they are chosen. Since its initial meeting back in 1930 the motto has been, ' Strive to build rather than destroy — to help rather than hinder. ' TAU OMICRON Beauty Accompanied hy Brahn Is the Trademark of Tau Omicron. I think it ' s rather a good one myself. Three meetings are held each quarter and new members are pledged at the first of the quarters. Two big annual affairs are the alumnae luncheon and the commencement breakfast for all members. Peggye McQuiddy is the 195 5 president, and she is aided in command by Lois Stedman, vice- president; Pat Wilson, secretary; Elma Murdock, treasu- rer; and sponsors. Miss Elizabeth Schardt, Miss Virginia Wilkinson, and Mrs. Hester Ray. Another nice thing about the club, besides its pretty members, is the alumni- sponsored scholarship fund available to Tau Omicron seniors or other worthy girls. 64 AQUATIC CLUB These Southern Belles Are Graceful Mermaids, Too. What graceful Southern belles are these! A sight like this is really a tonic for my tired old eyes. These girls of the college Aquatic Club look as if they were born swimmers, and in the water — part fish. Their annual water pageant is one of the most colorful programs of the whol e school year. Hours are spent on this aqua- cade and the end product sees mermaids forming beau- tiful figures in the steel blue water, high, graceful and skillful dives, and antics performed by comical clown- mermaids. This year there are fourteen members. To be eligible for membership as a mermaid, ' a girl must show endurance, ability and gracefulness in swimming. The mermaid who presides over the meetings held in watery surroundings is Georgianna West. She is assisted by vice-president, Joan Aylor, secretary-treasurer, Betty Jo Hyde, and reporter, Lenora Freedle, Mrs. G. J. Little- field, as sponsor, overseas the practice sessions of these water sirens and makes certain that no accidents occur. Since 1952 this club has worked to beautify the art of swimming and to further its members acquaintance with the field of swimming and water safety. Through the water show it provides a new type of entertainment as well as leadership opportunities. The Aquatic Club cooperates with other physical education department activities, and promotes the general welfare of the stu- dents.

AND REC CLUB You CiDi ' t Be Lazy unci Belong to This Grouj). You can ' t say that many of the people on this campus are lazy — especially those who belong to the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Club. The 100 mem- bers, all hardy individuals, under the guidance of Dr- Francis Riel and Miss Bulean Davis, combine a business meeting the first Thursday of each month and a program the next Thursday for well-rounded, interesting activi- ties. Organized in 1947, the club provides opportunity for professional growth, supports activities which im- prove and evaluate their field, improves each member ' s knowledge and skill, promotes school spirit and good sportsmanship, increases loyalty to the department, and sets a high standard of conduct at all times. Social life on the campus is furthered by square dances and club-sponsored parties. Interest outside MTSC is through contact with members from other colleges. Delegates attended the 1956 meeting of the Southern District of the Health, Physical Education, and Recrea- tion Clubs in Nashville and the national convention of the organization — this year in Chicago. The executive board of this group includes president Harold Henslee, vice-president Marvin Rolman, secretary Lenora Freedle, treasurer Ann Hagewood, and sergeant-at-arms, Bob Polston. 66 INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB Fine Machines Separate These Rebels from the Pioneers. I want to tell you about this Industrial Arts Club that I visited not too long ago. All of these fellows in- terested in making things with their hands got together and formed a club for all the Southern gentlemen who had the same interest. This year ' s club president is Charles Smith, % ' ith vice-president Glenn Smith as his assistant. Thomas Mitchell takes care of recording the minutes of each meeting; Jerry K. Phillips keeps track of the club ' s financial status; corresponding secretary is Ted Hackney; and keeping poise to a minimum is Jim Chandler, sergeant-at-arms. Sponsor of the club is Mr. Harold Jewell. The purpose of the club is to further the knowledge of industrial arts, to acquaint the members with their fellow students and to stimulate an interest in industrial arts among the students. The principal idea that all club members share is that any well educated man can work with his hands. Interest in handwork has stemmed from the pioneers of America who lived not too long before my time. Those people built things with their hands and these young men enjoy doing that work, too. The only difference is — the fellows here have fine ma- chines to help them. The thing that I believe I would enjoy most about this club is all of the fun the boys have along with their serious business. I hear they throw a few parties every year, especially in the Spring. These parties top the socials of the school year, and the members look forward to each quarter ' s social with great anticipation. I tried to get an invitation to one of them from the members but they said I had to be a stu- dent. FIRST RO% : Henry E. Tittle, Earl Whorley, Ted L.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB These Home Ec. Club Girls Are Proud oj Their Souther) Cookiug. One day as I was flitting along with my fellow ceme- tery residents, the smell of Southern fried chicken, can- died yams, and corn pone drifted by us carried along by the cool breezes. Being true Southerners (besides that, every soldier loves to eat), we investigated the source. Our noses led us to the Science Building where we found several young ladies cooking food that would have made any Southern cook proud. Looking further into the matter, we found that this was the Home Economics De- partment of MTSC. While we were visiting there, we discovered that there was a Home Economics Club which brought together a group of girls interested in putting good homemaking principles into future prac- ticce. Monthly meetings of the club, consisting of a busi- ness session and a short program, are held in the Home Economics Department of the building. This year the club has been very interested in the new Home Manage- ment Center which offers a quarter ' s residence for home economics students. A very capable young lady, Mary Margaret Steagall, serves as president of the organiza- tion; and the other club officers include Avaline Ellis, first vice-president; Dot Key, second vice-president; Katherine Martin, secretary; Mary Reed, treasurer; and Bernice Hart, publicity chairman. Sponsoring the group are Mrs. Virginia Muncie, Miss Helen Stevens, Mrs. Maxine Shannon, and Miss Agnes Nelson. 68 AGRICULTURE CLUB Future Scientific Ploiihoys Make Up the Ag Club. When you hear a wild rebel yell on the campus, you can say that person belongs to the Agriculture Club. These men are all ready to be the future tobacco and cotton planters and scientific plowboys of Tennessee. MTSC has seen its farmers furthering agriculture in these parts for 28 years. The Ag Club is solid here with 33 members, and they are all strong rebels, every last one of them! The head man is Ed Strasser with Howard Hatcher right behind him — in case of the loss of voice. Thomas Swain serves as secretary and Larry Tucker as treasurer. Being an old farm boy myself, I was thor- oughly interested in the things that went on at the meet- ings. I attended several get-togethers and found I was right at home in the midst of them. Man, was I glad to see so many people interested in such an important part of American life. At these meetings the programs include movies, speakers, and group discussions on every aspect of farm life. Problems of modern farm life are studied and solved by all the members to help them in planning their farming procedures in the future. And wow! The con- traptions these fellows have to help them in their farm- ing. We never had machines like those in my time. Two events that are a must in attendance and are pro- vided for everyone to really have fun stack up to be the Donkey Basketball Game and the Fall Square Dance.

The South uill rise again and it has in the spirit of the Veterans ' ( lub here on the MTSC campus. When these fine gentlemen get behind a project, you can hear that wild rebel yell and see evidence to prove their sup- port. Soldiers all, these men take on such tasks as do- nating blood to the local Red Cross, financing and erect- ing a flag pole for the football field, having a rip-roaring square dance, and putting on a fine talent show. They shoot to the front of the picture before anyone can see the whites of their eyes. Although fairly new to MTSC, in fact only three years in existence, they have pulled through for the Confederacy with 60 members and they are still increasing every year. Leading the club to even greater heights is Robert E. Russell in command, second in command being Robert T. Brooks, and to keep that Confederate money afloat, the adjutant, James M. Earle, aided by Henry Handback, head of finance. To keep these soldiers in line are the club sponsor, Mr. Eddie Voorhies, and Dick Bell, sergeant-at-arms. Since I ' m an old army man, this club especially ap- peals to me. If I had lived to the end of the Civil War, I would have been a veteran now. And, man, I would really be proud to be a part of an organization as strong and as active as the Veterans ' Club. It gives these ex- G.I. ' s a chance to meet together and talk about their current problems and the new developments pertaining to the G.I. Bill. These rebels don ' t put all their time on strictly informative lectures; they believe that fun and social recreation are an important part of any person ' s college life. All in all, the club provides a mixture of student association and student work in order to promise a truly worthwhile membership. 70 FIRST ROW: Norman Pennington, President; Agnes Knapp; Joan McKinstr , first ' ict;-President; Jesse Brawner, Third Vice-Presi- dent; James Byzet, Treasurer; Norman Marston; Harry Brunson.

I guess all of you are just as interested in international relations as I am. Well, I went to one of those Inter- national Relations Club meetings, and they discussed local, national, and international happenings until I felt as though I knew pretty much about the affairs of our country in the twentieth century and everybody else ' s, too. The members of this club try to foster by study, observation, and discussion a sincere interest in and knowledge of local, national, and international events. Norman Pennington is always on hand to take charge of the proceedings and he is ably assisted in keeping the club in order by Joan McKinstry, first vice-president; Thomas Springer, second vice-president; Edith Jo Lack- ey, secretary; and James Byzet, treasurer.

On one of my trips here recently my nose for music scented an addition to the Music Department — the Music Educators National Conference. This is rather a new organization on the college campus, and it has only been in existence since 1954. Its purpose is to give the stu- dents opportunity for professional development in the field of music education while still in college. The mot- to, ' Music for every child, every child for music, ' ex- presses their desire for learning how to teach music to the future citizens of America. Serving as president is Patsy Johnson. She is assisted by Kelly Graves, vice- president; and Patsy Caneer, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Charles Hansford is sponsor. Each year the group (in cooperation with the Student Christian Union) sponsors the all-college Christmas carol sing.

WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Alo( ern Youtig Lassies Really Go jar Sports in the W ' AA. Anybody interested in a hike? Think you could play badminton well enough to participate in the tourna- ment. ' ' Don ' t all of you answer because these questions are only directed to the ladies. There is a group of ath- letically-minded females on the MTSC campus who can really outshine a lot of men I know in sports. When I was a lad, ladies didn ' t go in for sports; but now it looks as if they are becoming equal with men in many things, including the field of sports. The Women ' s Athletic Assoriation is open to all those pretty Southern belles who are interested in athletics. Awards given are based on a point system, points being obtained by participa- tion in club activities. These awards include pins, school sweaters, school letters and monograms. At the meetings games are played such as volleyball, basketball, ping pong, and Softball. The purpose of the club is to promote good sports- manship with other teams and within one ' s own team, a spirit of cooperation, and to strengthen the bonds of fellowship. There are twenty coeds holding member- ship this year. Various annual events of the club are the Halloween Jamboree in October, the Amazon Party in November, and many hikes and picnics. The people in this twentieth century do the oddest things. At the Amazon Party the girls actually invite the boys and even cut in on them at the dance. In my day this would have been considered a little forward, but now people seem to think it ' s all right. Officers this year are Marguerite Cotton, president; Jody Karnes, vice-president; Betty James, secretary; Ruby Darden, treasurer; Paula Baiscb, intramural manager; Carolyn Gonce, publicity chair- man; and Miss Buleah Davis, sponsor. T CLUB T-Club Members Become Barbers it: the Fall. When the first week of school rolls around, the weather in Tennessee is mostly warm and pleasant. But I ' ve noticed that a small group of boys are very particular to wear hats, and try to appear as inconspicuous as they can. I kept my amazement to myself until one day I overheard a coed say in a shocked voice to her friend, ' Those boys that just passed didn ' t have any hair on their heads! ' My curiosity was aroused, so I joined the boys and found that each had just a T-shaped area of hair on his head. It seems that each year the members of the T-Club set up a barber shop as part of the initiation of new students into the group. Any male who has lettered in football, basketball, baseball, golf, track, or tennis is eligible for membership. Heading the club this year are Francis Reynolds, president; Doug Shrader, vice-president; Jim Chandler, secretary-treasurer; Charles Smith, sergeant-at-arms; and Coach Charles Greer, sponsor. Meetings are held in the new T-Club Room in the basement of the gym, and dur- ing the Winter quarter the members converted it into a club recreation room for dancing. Various activities, such as parties, hayrides, and dances are sponsored during the year; but the outstanding event is the all- sports banquet which takes place in the Spring. At this time letters are awarded for participation in varsity sports, and the outstanding performers are recognized. Left to right: FIRST ROW: Travis Akin, Lester Rizor, Wink Bennett, Jerry Kemp.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA FTA ' ers Are Learning to Teach the ' Yomiguns ' . When it comes right down to readin ' , ' ritin ' , and ' rithmetic, MTSC ' s got a great organization to teach the young ' uns — the Future Teachers of America. These fu- ture teachers, principals, and education leaders of the young citizens of tomorrow are part of an organization which is primarily for those who expect to enter the teaching profession after their graduation from this school. The FTA members gather together twice each month to listen to the interesting and educational pro- grams which have included talks by faculty members, a discussion focused on the reading center by James Mar- tin, a panel of former PTA members who are now teach- ers, and a discussion led by the director of the State Mental Health Department. The NEA merit award is given to outstanding members who have given extensive service to the club. Heading these future teachers is Dr. Ralph Dunham, their sponsor. To keep law and order are Bill Davis, president; Colene Rives, vice-president; Nancy Harris, secretary; Camille Murchison, treasurer; Sydney Corban, sergeant-at-arms; Paula Baisch, scrapbook chairman; James Reasons, parliamentarian; and Betty James, his- torian. With all these fine Southern people, we ' re going to be well educated. They ' re proud to tell everyone about belonging to the Tennessee Education Association and the National Education Association. When a student is a member of the local FTA chapter, he automatically receives publications from both of these organizations. A big social is held in the Spring, and this year they ' re expecting all 100 members to show their shining faces at the affair. 74 ■n -, iJlllli-Briii If .

While carousing around the MTSC campus, suddenly without warning I found myself at the Science Building. On entering I found several students huddled together discussing one of their latest projects dealing with bio- logical matter. Like all good rebels, the members of the Biology Club add much to the success and fun around these parts. For instance, they sponsor the school ' s annual stunt night and were way up there on top with a float for Homecoming. Overhearing these future scien- tists talk, I learned that Dr. John Patton and Dr. E. F. Strobel are always available when a Biology Club mem- ber runs into trouble in experiments, or when they want something done badly. Heading this club is Nancy Patton, president; with Steve Underwood, vice-president; Georgianna West, secretary-treasurer; and Jane Panter, publicity chairman.

KAPPA OMICRON PHI KOP Has MTSC ' s Best Hotue Economical Engineers. MTSC has some of the best seamstresses, cooks, and household managers in the South. These girls, all fine home economics majors, belong to the newly-installed Alpha Pi chapter of Kappa Omicron Phi. Early in March, 1956, 15 girls were initiated into this honorary frater- nity at the chapter ' s first banquet. Led by Nancy Ford, president; Sara Miles, first vice-president; Bernice Hart, recording secretary; Katheryn Martin, treasurer; and Mrs. Virginia Muncie, sponsor, the group selects mem- bers by scholarship and personality. I read in their constitution that their aim is ' to develop women with higher ideals of sane living, with deeper appreciation of the sanctity of the American Home, with broader social and higher intellectual and cultural at- tainments ' . £3 Qi SEATED.

All true rebels love to talk and express their beliefs at random to anyone within earshot. Rebels of Pi Kappa Delta, the honorary forensic fraternity, do just that for they really can debate with knowledge and versatility. To them their main purpose is to further themselves in speech to a point that they will be able to speak, with authority anywhere — even in Yankee land. Mr. Lane Boutwell organizes all debates with different colleges and prepares his speech students for their contests. The top man is Kirk Waite, president; with Charlotte Akers next as vice-president and Eddye Jo Reid as secretary- treasurer. After listening and speaking with the mem- bers, I learned they have quite a full schedule this year with their intercollegiate speech activities. Although Pi Kappa Delta was only organized in 1952 here, I look to see these MTSC speech enthusiasts really show some- thing in future years. SPEECH ARTS SOCIETY Logical Thinking and Correct Speaking Is Their Aim. Next on the agenda is the Speech Arts Society, whose purpose is to train students to think logically and to speak correctly in public speaking situations. I ' ve seen many cartoons in which the college debater and orator are portrayed as long-haired intellectuals who pound the speaker ' s stand as they emote. However, the football player, the future teacher, the pre-law student, and the science major among the MTSCeans have come to know the true values of debating and speaking. Dating from 1947, the society has grown by leaps and bounds in both membership and skill. Keeping things running smoothly among the ranks is John Hill, president; ably assisted by Bill Sugg, vice-president; Jean Adamson, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Lane Boutwell, sponsor and director. This year the members were right in there pitching for the school when they attended five speech contests with entrants in oratory, extempore speaking, oral in- terpretation, after-dinner speaking, radio announcing, and debate. FIRST ROW: Dot Burns, John Hill, president; William Sugg, vice-president; Jean Adamson, secretary-treasurer; Charlotte Akers, Eddye Jo Fults Reid.

' While I was wandering through its music depart- ment, I discovered three young Southern belles who can really sing. They make up the MTSC Women ' s Trio. They are Joyce Kidwell, first soprano; Catherine Rob- erta, alto; and Dorothy Hicks, second soprano. They are under the direction of Margaret Wright. MEN ' S QUARTET This Quartet Entertains at Many a Chorus Concert. I ' ll tell you what — these MTSC students sure are lucky. All these people over here who can sing! An- other very talented group in the music department is the Men ' s Quartet which consists of Steve Underwood, bari- tone; Bob Keathley, bass; John Keith Jackson, first tenor; and Jerry Williamson, second tenor. SACRED HARP SINGERS Y ' our Favorite Southern Ballads Are Sung hy the Harp Singers. Take twelve voices raised in a cappella harmony, add several beautiful songs, and you have the MTSC Sacred Harp Singers, a group of fine Southern gentlemen and belles in the Music Department at the college. Under the direction of Margaret Wright, the group gives splendid performances with early English and Italian madrigals. Sacred Harp hymns, Negro spirituals, good old Southern folk songs, and ballads — many of the old songs with which my ma used to sing me to sleep. Well- known throughout Tennessee, this talented musical group was organized during the summer of 1947. Seated around a table in sixteenth century madrigal style, the singers can always be counted on for a grand per- formance.

THE MTSC MARCHING AND CONCERT BAND MTSC BAND MTSC ' s Band Can Be Counted on for Fine Music. Oh, that over there? Well, I thought it would catch your interest. That ' s the MTSC marching and concert band. You ' ll find them every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon at four o ' clock getting ready for the next ball game, concert, or parade. Yes, they provide entertainment for us on any occasion. Say you would like to know who that fellow on the second row is. ' Well, that ' s Tommy Tucker, president and drum major of this organization. If you ■ill look closer, you ' ll see Joyce Leonard, vice-president; Fred Boswell, treasurer; and Jerry Williamson, publicity chairman. Then there ' s the staff members Kelly Graves and Basil Rigney. These with the rest of the members are under the direction of Dr. John Colbert. Come on, I ' d like to listen, too. They make real fine music whether it ' s classical, jazz, or for marching.

SECOND ROW- FLAG TWIRLERS AND MAJOREnES These Belles Are ati Added Attraction to the Marching Band. No doubt, folks, if you ' ve ever seen the MTSC March- ing Band, you ' ve seen those high-stepping beauties, the majorettes and flag twirlers. It ' s a sight to behold. I ' ve never seen so many good-looking girls. To say the least, they are the MOST!!! It ' s no wonder that the students at MTSC are so proud of these girls. They spend many hours practicing; and believe me, it must be worth it because they do a swell job. These pretty and talented little old Dixie belles perform at all halftime activities of the football games along with the band. In fact, the band wouldn ' t be com- plete without them. They are an added attraction, and MAN!!! what an attraction!! DANCE BAND The Midlanders Soiv Play This Modern ' Jazz ' . As I ha e said — I like music. I used to enjoy those Southern songs. Around here I ' ve learned a lot about modern music. Why they even have groups called ' dance bands ' to play ' jive ' as they call it. Since this Spring the students have enjoyed good dance music played by the band organized this year. The Dance Band is open for engagements by any campus club. The band has two purposes. It will play for school functions and serve as a laboratory unit for people in- terested in arranging music. From the candidates for vocalist, Mr. Colbert selected Peggy Jernigan. Man, she has looks, plus a delightful singing voice. It does my heart good to see those fellows and Miss Peggy go into their act.

No, these people aren ' t angels — they ' re just members of the MTSC Chorus. This organization has been func- tioning for 3 5 years and is really one of the most out- standing groups on campus. Oh, you want to know who that fellow in the tenor section is. ' Well, that ' s John K. Jackson, who is president of the Chorus. Oh, no, he ' s not the only officer; there ' s Joyce Le onard, vice-presi- dent; and Patsy Johnson, secretary-treasurer. This group is under the direction of Mr. Neil Wright. Say you ' d like to know what this group does. ' Well, a concert is given each quarter, and the group goes on tour during the Winter and Spring quarters.

One morning when I had just come back from an overnight pass, my buddy, Andy, asked me about some strange, musical sounds which he had heard coming from the direction of the college. I told him that I had once wondered about this music and that when I first looked up the source, I found it to be coming from the instru- ments of th2 MTSC orchestra. Since its organization in 1930, this talented groups of musicians has presented an assembly program for the student body each quarter and a Sunday afternoon concert in the Spring. With Mrs. Rubye Taylor Sanders as concert mistress and Mr. Ken- neth Pace as conductor, the orchestra blends rich, mel- low tones and precision playing to make music worthy to be heard by a king. Its officers this year are Patsy Caneer, president; Kelly Graves, vice-president; and Lou Ella Marlin, secretary-treasurer. Membership is open by tryouts to all college students and is required of every music major. The orchestra personnel includes: FIRST VIOLINS: Rubye Taylor Sanders Harriet Holloway Mary DeSelm Ann Wade Eugene Wiggins Rev.

The campus of MTSC is more than a group of brick buildings and students attending their daily classes. It is also a collection of many and varied religious faiths brought together in the college. These students may have a few differences of opinion, but they have learned to live together in a common atmosphere and to share their common interests. In the midst of the changing attitudes and values, the church groups of the MTSC campus offer the students spiritual guidance and a firm retreat to weather the storms surrounding them. 82 BAPTIST STUDENT UNION The BSU Links the Student with Christian Liiing. Serving as a connecting link between the student and the program of Christ as expressed through the local churches and various activities of the denomination, the Baptist Student Union has one of the largest member- ships on the MTSC campus. In seeking to promote maximum Christianity for the individual by enlistment efforts, devotional practices, and social events, it achieves its aims through interesting programs which provide spiritual strength and enlightenment. Because they are concerned with the religious, intellectual, and social needs of the students, the leaders offer opportunities to participate in informal discussions about religion and college life and promote character development through more religious living. Under the leadership of Miss Peggy Ott Hackler, BSU director, and Mr. Roy Simpson, faculty adviser, seven students serve in responsible positions of the or- ganization. This year ' s president is Jerry Williamson; and the other officials include Shirley Freedle, enlistment vice-president; Peggye McQuiddy, social vice-president; Dorothy Hicks, secretary; Paula Baisch, treasurer; Bar- bara Stewart, publicity chairman; and Jo Ann Wininger, YWA president. High on the agenda of numerous events for the year was the sending of an overseas student from the campus to the first International Student Retreat at Mammoth Cave National Park over Thanksgiving, which was sponsored jointly by the Tennessee-Kentucky Bap- tist Student departments. The BSU is doing its part in developing leadership, and its activities help to make life at MTSC well-rounded.

CHURCH OF CHRIST GROUP Weekly Progr-ii iis Add to the College Lije oj Its Memhers Three Wednesday nights out of each month a large group of students at MTSC set aside one hour of their day to meet together in the Administration Building. They constitute one of the five religious organizations on the campus and is known as the Church of Christ group. Under the leadership of its officers, John Bass, president; and Colene Rives, secretary-treasurer, the or- ganization offers spiritual guidance in day-to-day living. Programs are planned to supplement the college course and to develop people dedicated to the task of creating a fine. Christian community. A place of worship and fellowship is offered to the Church of Christ students at MTSC, and the evening services consist of singing, pray- ers, and various speakers. 84 CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN STUDENT UNION The CPSU Is Ah Active and Grouhig Group. Cumberland Presbyterian students here at MTSC look forward each Wednesday evening at six o ' clock to the weekly meeting of the Cumberland Presbyterian Student Union, which is held at the Student Union Building. For five years this small but active and growing group has attempted to provide spiritual guidance for its members. They enjoy varied programs, and through worship and recreation good Christian relations are promoted. Per- forming the administrative duties of the group are Davis Gray, Jr., president; Patsy Ambrester, vice-president; Elaine Searcy, secretary; Nick Lowe, treasurer; and Mrs. Lawrence Leuthold, sponsor. The 2 5 members of the CPSU participate in the noon- day devotional meetings as do the members of the other religious groups. At the beginning of the Fall quarter the members join with the college class and the Cumber- land Youth Fellowship group of the local church in sponsoring a party for the new CP students entering the college, and other social functions are held throughout the year. This year ' s meetings promote fun and friend- ship, but the outstanding events are Sunday School, church, and group singing.

At the Methodist Student Movement meetings the students gather for 30 minutes of fellowship and wor- ship. The programs are presented by the students them- selves; and Christian guidance is given by the officers who are Marvin Rolman, president; Mary Reed, vice-presi- dent; Katherine Martin, secretary-treasurer; and Don Jackson, publicity chairman. Mr. E. W. Midgett serves as the sponsor for the organization. Each year Methodist students enjoy socials in Octo- ber, March, and at the end of the Spring quarter. Mem- bers attend several religious convocations in the Spring, joining with MSM representatives from other colleges in this area and members of many Methodist Youth Fellow- ship groups. The group also sends delegates to the state 86 MSM retreat and to the religious convention each sum- mer at Purdue University. Various community projects are undertaken by the MSM students on the MTSC campus, and all members give active suppor t to the Student Christian Union. Every Christmas the students collect gifts, buy fruit and candy, and visit the Negro day home in Murfreesboro, where they play Santa Claus to the children there. Also, each Thanksgiving season they place baskets around the campus to collect money and groceries as a gift to some needy family in the city. The organization here truly promotes the principles of Christian fellowship, wor- ship, and living among the Methodist students as well as other students. tl c FIRST ROW: Ann Lamb; Anita Turner, President; Jackie Graham.

Opportunities for inspiration and spiritual growth are promoted at the meetings each Wednesday evening of the Disciples of Christ. Under the guidance of its chap- lain, the Reverend Ivan Shelburne, the group seeks to give students a chance to combine fellowship and prayer- ful meetings while on this campus. Each year a Youth Sunday is sponsored and various social programs are included at the gatherings. This year ' s officers are Anita Turner, president; John Pickard, vice-president; and Frances Woodfin, secretary-treasurer. WESTMINSTER FELLOWSHIP Worship Plus Fellowship Are Found in the WF. Religion on the MTSC campus can be seen as a strong part of student life and is shown through the numerous religious organizations, among which is the West- minster Presbyterian Fellowship. As a balancing factor in the emotions of the Presbyterian students, this group strives to promote a fellowship of Christianity among its members and the other students. Some 35 students at- tend the meetings held three times a month. Officers elected for this school year are Effie Dalton, president; Jane Hargrove, vice-president; Mary Ruth Osborne, secretary; Don Horsley, treasurer; and Judy Oakley, program chairman.

' Here is a Student Christian Union, which is a combination of all the religious denominational groups here on the campus and which offers the chance to all Christian students, no matter what faith they have, to worship God in one spirit together. Worship pro- grams are presented the first Wednesday night of each month with each church group taking its turn at the wheel in the planning. The SCU sponsors each year a Religious Emphasis Week in the Spring. Other activi- ties such as Thanksgiving and Easter sunrise services, and noonday devotionals with students of every denomi- nation leading the services prove to be very effective and 88 inspiring. Worship and Christian fellowship in campus life are stressed in all the meetings. Candlelight services, panel discussions, and guest speakers highlight the year ' s ac- tivities; and Religious Emphasis Week brings to the cam- pus a well-known Christian author, lecturer, or minister for a week of concentrated meetings filled with a wor- shipful atmosphere. Students meet during this week in assemblies held each day, religious meetings in the even- ings, and small group consultations with the guest speaker.

Stressing Christian Living, the SCU Fills a Human Need. The Union exists as a tangible, worthwhile organi- zation and not merely as a theory. It combines all re- ligious groups into a strong unified organization. SCU tries to create a co-operative attitude between religious groups on the campus and to better the spiritual con- sciousness of each student in his or her every day living. Young ministers from the college and local churches and MTSC student workers discuss the many and varied problems confronting the young people of the twentieth century at the monthly meetings. Noonday devotions held at the lunch hour, with students of different denomi- nations leading the worship, are welcomed by the stu- dents as they stop between European history and golf classes during a busy, tiresome day to spend a little time worshipping God. The college SCU helps in removing small prejudices and religious bias among the different religious groups and in putting the Christian faith on a firmer foundation by this unification of beliefs. Officers for this year are Charles Hodges, president; Tommy Scott, vice-president; Anita Turner, secretary-treasurer; Mary Reed, social chairman; Shirley Freedle, song leader; Betty Windrow, pianist; Dr. Robert Corlew, sponsor. 89 One day, not long ago, I heard some mili- tary style music Jrom over behind that place they call a football field. So, I trotted over and I sau ' about 350 soldiers in sharp uniforms with their shoes shined and their flags a-wav- ing, marching around a big drill field. They were marching in front of a little stand and the company commanders were yelling ' eyes right. ' I would have stiorn I heard their eye- balls click. That very day I found out about the ROTC and its program. The ROTC began as a de- partment in the Fall of ' 50 with 93 cadets and 11 cadet officers on a completely voluntary basis. In si.x short years it has grown to a strength of 322 cadets and 38 officers. The Fall of 1955 saw the program become com- pulsory for two years. No other department on the campus has such ' esprit de corps ' ; neither can they offer a six-week, all-expense paid summer vacation at a nearby camp. The new ROTC building which was oc- cupied in the Fall of 1954 is considered to be one of the finest of its kind in the South. If its name has anything to do with it — the Nathan Bedford Forrest Hall — it IS the finest. We never had any places like that when I was in training. The unit here has added much to the school ' s spirit and it has also given numerous reserve officers to the ranks of the U. S. Army. The graduate of the four-year ROTC pro- gram enters the army as a commissioned officer with the rank of second lieutenant. 90 K . - - THIS I S THEIR ARMY R T C MAJOR QUENTIN L. McNARY CAPT. WRAY R. THOMAS CAPT. WILLIAM H. VAIL 1ST LT. ROBERT L. SANDERS DETACHMENT STAFF These officers and non-commissioned officers, under the leadership of Major Q. L. McNary are charged with the responsibility of making the officers out of raw re- cruits in four short years. At times patience is tried — a wrong command, dirty shoes, unpolished brass on the part of a cadet. But this is eventually corrected and when the battalion com- mander sounds off with Pass in Review at the annual Federal inspection they witness a smart outfit, tribute to their knowledge and efficiency as instructors. All these men are combat veterans and instill in their cadets the highest traditions of the service. SEC DONALD MEREDITH M SGT. DONALD L. LIGHT M SGT. CHARLES W. OGWIN SGT. WILLIAM F.

Every unit has some men that are extra special in drill, military bearing, and appearance, and are willing to spend some extra time in practice. AT MTSC these men are selected to become members of the Sam Davis Drill Team. The Drill Team is under the command of Cadet Captain Don C. Martin and his executive officer Cadet 1st Lt. Laurence C. Robertson. These two officers and instructors have both served in the Drill Team as cadets and as non-commissioned officers. All members of the Drill Team are awarded five merits each quarter. 99 4C FIRST ROW: Vord,H. Kinsey, D. Thibodeaux, J. McRady, D. Christian, J. Ridley, G.; Harvey, B.

When they sound off with ' Dixie, ' it makes me tingle all over. The hand is led by Cadet Captain Thomas L. Tucker, who not only instructs the members in how to play their instruments but in the basic military lessons as well. Those band members feel equally at home with both a trumpet or one of those air-cooled, gas-operated, clip- fed, semi-automatic shoulder weapons, the U. S. rifle cal. 30 Ml. Yes sir, I tell you the band is just as important as any of the Rifle Companies in the Cadet Battalion; in fact, its members are given five merits that are added to their grades at the end of each quarter. 100 FIRST ROW: George Haynes; Willard Mills; Lawrence Robertson; Kenneth Wall.

These fellows down here are pretty good shots — at 1 east they ' re the best in the ROTC cadet corps. In my day we had to be pretty good with a rifle, too. Any mem- ber of the cadet corps is eligible for membership in the Boys ' Rifle Team. Coaching these marksmen is Sgt. l c James R. Kent. This year ' s team has fired paper matches with the universities of Florida, Georgia, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and also with ETSC and Presbyterian College. Shoulder- to-shoulder matches have been with Vandy, TPI, and Sewanee. In the Spring they took part in the state mili- tary district rifle meet with other ROTC units in this area. Captain of the ' 56 team is Lawrence C. Robertson. GIRLS ' RIFLE TEAM MTSC Has Some Pistol-Packhi ' Gals. One afternoon I heard rifle shots coming from MTSC. Thinking the War had started again, I offered my assist- ance. It wasn ' t needed because it was only several lassies practicing rifle marksmanship. They were receiving firing instruction in hopes of becoming a member of the Girls ' Rifle Team. From the most skillful 10 were picked to make up the team. The purpose is to let the squad fire paper matches with other U. S. teams and shoulder-to-shoulder matches with teams in this area. Coaching these rifle-packin ' gals is Sergeant William Nichols, aided by Captain Wray Thomas, faculty adviser, and Mrs. John Bass, faculty sponsor.

NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST CLUB They Get There ' Fustest with the Mostest. ' Now this is one club which I really think has good ideas and mottoes. For instance, look at the name — the Nathan Bedford Forrest Club. It is unusual in that its active membership is limited to one year. The club is composed of outstanding master sergeants of the Junior class only. High scholastic standing and excellent mili- tary bearing are among the other prerequisites of mem- bership. The purpose of the club is to further the welfare and recreation of its members and to endorse all activities which this organization benefits the ROTC at the college. Its motto is Primo Cum Ilpiu ' — ' the fustest with the mostest. ' Each Spring its members select from the in- coming Junior class the candidates for membership for the following year. The main effort of the club this year is to secure a badge for its members to wear. The end result is to be a silver sword on a blue background with the words of the club motto inscribed above. This year ' s officers are Johnny Bass, president; Travis Akin, vice-president; Thomas Stroud, secretary; Bobby Cranford, treasurer; and Bobby Sneed, sergeant-at-arms. 102 TRACK AND SABRE CLUB Their Service Club is for OJj-Duty Hours. An old soldier like me is always interested in any- thing concerning the army. The closest group to an army outfit that they have here at MTSC is the ROTC Department. There are certain off-duty organizations on the campus which are off-limits to anyone but mem- bers of the Cadet Corps. One of these service clubs is the Track and Sabre Club which got its charter and became active back in the winter of ' 5 1. Since then, it has grown to be one of the largest groups on campus; and through it the relationship is strengthened among the cadets cadet officers, and members of the ROTC cadre. Its actions are governed by two groups, the executive com mittee and the social committee, each of which is com posed of five seniors, four juniors, three sophomores two freshmen and the club president, as chairman Seeing all these fellows work together is a sight to my sore old eyes. Any army outfit would be proud to have them as a part of it. Each year the club sponsors the Military Ball, the biggest and most anticipated dance of the year, with sharp looking cadets and officers dancing around the floor with their best gals who are decked out in their prettiest finery. The guest band this year was Buddy Morrow ' s, which played at the very first Military Ball at the college, so I ' ve heard tell. Other past big-name bands have been Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey ' s, Billy May ' s, and Ray Anthony ' s. Reigning over every year ' s dance is a queen who is selected by members of the club and escorted by the Cadet Battalion Commander. The cadet leaders of the Track and Sabre Club this year are George Stotser, president; Travis Akin, vice-president; James A. Windsor, S ' jcretary; and Bobby Cranford, treasurer. riRST ROW: Garden, J. R.; Gray, D.; Windsor, J. H.; Cranford, R. H.; Akin, T. L.; McRady, D. W.; Stotser, G. R.; McRady, R. B.; Tucker. T.

R O T C B A L L I remember the day before we went off to war — they gave a big dance in our honor. But, I ' m telling you, I ' ve never seen anything like that ROTC Military Bail which the Track and Sabre Club gives every year. This year the dance was on Valentine ' s Day, a fitting time if I do say so myself. Playing the music for these new-fangled steps, the ' bop ' and the ' mambo, ' was the famous Buddy Mor- row orchestra. Just before the dance, they had a reception in the Tennessee Room for the cadet officers and their best girls, the cadre officers and their wives, and the guests of the department. All sorts of decorations were featured in the room, and the decorating committee used 10,000 104 Miss Shirley Griggs — the 1956 Queen of the Military Ball. balloons to dress up the dance. Parachutes were hung from the ceiling and formed a tunnel at the entrance. Every time I looked at the ceiling I saw four red hearts at each corner and a huge heart in the center, all made out of baloons. Their Queen, Shirley Griggs, who had been picked by those ROTC fellows, reigned over the ball with her escort. Cadet Lieutenant Colonel George Stotser. After being presented at intermission, she and her escort led the grand march, along with the members of her court, who were Nancy Willis, Marilyn Kellogg, Harriet Young, and Margaret Ogden. ■sl X lr.k   ' • ' 1i4 . .,■ %♦- I .,, . - tCBA|. p M : r -.. I There ' s a saying that has floated around the campus jor years — ' All study and no play makes any College Cat a dull boy. ' They used to say it differently hack in my day, but the meaning is the same. My most popular activity is playing — Vm a typical playboy. My Jriends mixed pleasure with study, and the students here believe in this also. Bull sessions, hen parties, and a friendly bridge game rank high on their agen- da oj dorm life. Now and then, Vve noticed a gleam in a co-ed ' s eye because of a big dance. These wind-dings like the MIDLANDER Ball and the Homecoming dance rate tops socially. Even the Homecoming Day is carried out in fine style. And anyone would be proud to be given one of the awards or to be elected to Who ' s Who or the superlatives. Let ' s see what else there is in the way of student life here. 106 : fei iSSc MISS MIDLANDER HEADS THE FEATURES MIDLANDER QUEEN She Walks in Beauty.

' He finally narrowed the field down to Nancy Willis, a little 110-pound, five-foot five- inch brunette from Nashville. That city can sure be proud of her because she ' s as cute as any Southern belle I ' ve seen in my day. Nancy is a freshman and has a major in art education with a minor in the field of education. Following her graduation from MTSC in a few years, she hopes either to enter the commercial art field or to teach that subject in some junior high school. Miss Midlander, Nancy Willis.

AWARDS Katheryii Excels in the Home Ec. Field. Of all the awards given at MTSC, one of the most sought-after is that of ' Miss Home Economics. ' The winner this year, one of the cutest Southern belles I ' ve ever seen, is Katheryn Martin, a senior from South Pittsburg. A five-foot, eight and one-half-inch brunette, she has a major in home economics and minors in edu- cation and biology. Her campus activities include mem- bership in the Home Ec.

Vve said it before and Til say it again — Tm proud of these boys! That hollow building across the campus is where the basketball team meets its opponents. The center of their water sports area is the inside swimming pool ivhich ivas built be- cause MTSC had more students than ' swim- min ' holes. ' Ne.vt to the pool are the tennis courts, football stadium, and close by is the baseball diamond. Most of these places are used for inter-collegiate meets.

In the Fall some husky fellows put on blue uniforms and every Saturday they push some other fellows around on a big field while everyone yells and stamps their feet. The statistician told me the game was called football and he also said, ' Middle Tennessee ' s gridders, under Coach Charles Murphy, compiled one of their most successful records in last season ' s play. The Big Blue won seven, lost two, and tied one. Their losses were to Vanderbilt University, who had its best football season in the school ' s history, and arch rival Tennessee Tech. ' Three members of the Big Blue squad won spots on the All-Ohio Valley Conference eleven. Tackle Billy Hix, halfback Travis Akin, and fullback Terry Sweeney were the Raiders who received the honor. Sweeney was elected Captain of the All-OVC squad. ' Middle Tennessee finished second in the Ohio Valley Conference, with a 4-1 record. They took the top spot in the Volunteer State Athletic Conference. ' Sweeney and Akin were the big ground gainers in the Raider attack. Sweeney picked up 563 yards for the honors in the rushing department. Akin ground out 392 yards in 70 carries for an average of 5.6 yards per carry. ' Reynolds and Corban led the Big Blue aerial game. Reynolds completed 39 of 94 attempts for 757 yards. Corban connected with 18 of 37 for a total of 344 yards. ' Middle Tennessee ' s hopes of making their first bowl trip was washed out with their loss to Tennessee Tech on their final game of the year. Tangerine Bowl officials were scouting the Raiders when the disastrous shellacking took place. ' Francis Reynolds and George Haley were selected to play with the East All-Stars in the first annual Senior Christian Bowl game ' . MTSC FOOTBALL COACHING STAFF Kenneth Shipp, B.

Trailing 7-0 after Eastern had scored an early touchdown, Corban piloted his team steadily up field and then sneaked over from the one. Travis Akin gobbled in a Corban pass to put MTSC ahead 14-7, only to see Eastern tie the score in the fading minutes of the third quarter. To stop an Eastern drive in the fourth period, tackle Bill Hix broke through the Maroon line to throw an attempted passer for a fourth down loss on the Raider 2 5 yard stripe. MTSC took over and two plays later, scored the winning tally. Midd le Tennessee stopped another desperation drive on the 15 in the last minute of play.

MTSC rolled to a 19-0 lead before halftime. Swee- ney ' s 2 3 yard run accounted for the first score. A sensa- tional catch of a 35 yard pass from Reynolds to C. D.

A beautiful 30 yard run by Charlie Care, two nice moves by Sweeney, and the Raiders had moved 80 yards for their fourth touchdown. Sweeney ' s 112 yards in 1 7 plays led the Raider ground game.

This was the second time in as many years that the Governors had fought the Raiders to a draw. In 1954, the game ended in a 7-7 deadlock. Offensively the Governors kicked the Raiders into the hole on two occasions with beautiful boots that traveled over 50 yards. Aided by a fumble on the 16 on one occa- sion, and a combination of penalties on another, the Governors were able to push across two touchdowns. Trailing 14-7 late in the fourth quarter, the Raiders finally turned on the steam with well executed ofT-tackle plays to score. George Haley added the all-important extra point to gain the tie.

A pass from Sidney Corban to Travis Akin was good for 42 yards to set up the score. Corban sneaked over from the one on the next play. Touchdown number two came on another Corban to Akin pass, this one good for 40 yards. Francis Hots Reynolds replaced Corban at the quarterback slot to begin the second half. He quickly put the Eagles in the hole with a 63 yard punt rolling dead on the one yard line. In the third period, George Haley grabbed a Reynolds pass for the last touchdown.

The largest crowd ever to see a Vandy-MTSC game (estimated 17,500) watched Vanderbilt roll up a 33-0 score before halftime. The stunned Raiders kept bat- tling, but could never cross the Commodore goal line. Although the Raiders, ground game did not fair too well, with only 10 yards net rushing, their aerial game looked very good. They completed 12 of 23 passes for 175 yards against the best pass defensive team in the Southeastern Conference. Middle Tennessee put on its best offensive show in the third period, completing four straight passes, mov- ing from their own 1 5 to the Vandy 28 yard line.

Middle Ten- nessee took a brief 13-7 lead in the second quarter with a Reynolds to Akin pass for an 87 yard touchdown, and a five yard touchdown jaunt by Terry Sweeney. Florence took a 14-13 lead before halftime, but Middle Tennessee fought back for a 19-14 advantage to end the third quarter. The Lions again took over in the final period, 21-19- C. D.

This was the seventh victory of the season for the Raid- ers. Playing one of their best defensive games, the Big Blue held the Buccaneers to a mere 35 yards gained during the first half of play. ' After jumping to a three touchdown lead, Coach Murphy used substitutes for most of the second half. MTSC stopped Buc drives on the Raider 45, 6, 16, and 35 yard-markers before the boys from Johnson City scored with 2:15 minutes left in the game. Terry Sweeney and Francis Reynolds accounted for two of the Raider scores. The other came on a Reynolds pass to G. E. McCormack.

The one-sided contest sent a packed stadium of Raider homecoming fans away in disappointment. After a scoreless first quarter, the Eagles started finding holes in the Raider defense to make way for the pay dirt. The boys from Cookeville showed an amazing ground game, racking up 32 3 yards rushing. Not only did the loss knock the Raiders out of a possible bowl bid, but also took the Ohio Valley Con- ference championship away from them. Both teams had been undefeated in conference play. What really got the Raider fans boiling were the final yells from the Tech rooting section. It went something like, 55 to 14, ra ra ra; Tangerine, Tangerine, ha ha ha!

Oh, you mean that cheering and shouting. Well, just step this way and see for your- self. You ' re about to witness your first Pep Rally ' on the MTSC campus. Now, those people, who are in charge of this meet- ing, are called cheerleaders, and you probably know more about them than I do, as we didn ' t have cheer- leaders in the Confederate Army. This year ' s cheering section is led by Captain Elma Murdock, along with Don Jackson, Bernice Hart, Patricia Hitt, Marilyn Kellog, Mary Reed, Ima Franklin, and Betty Jo Hyde, who serves as alternate captain. In addition to leading the yells at all games and organizing pep rallies, they serve as the main center of operation for the game activities of the Raider fans; with their decorations of Blue and White, they prepare Jones Field for all games during the season. The cheering squad has been a true support for the Blue Raiders and a strong promoter of School Spirit. KNEELING: Elma Murdock, Ima Franklin, Marilyn Kellogg, Bernice Hart.

Everyone calls it basketball, but that hoop they throw it in shore don ' t look like no basket I ' ve ever seen. It looks more like a barrel ring with a foot of cord tied at the bottom. Anyway, it is shore the funniest thing I have ever seen. They get a bunch of big tall men and one of them will grab that ball and bounce it down the floor until he gets close to that barrel hoop. As soon as he lets loose of that ball, someone else will get it and run up to the other end of the floor to do the same thing. Some of them guys can really bounce that ball. After awhile, one of two men out there in striped shirts will blow a whistle and everyone gathers around a thing that looks like a mushroom painted on the floor. One man gets to try to throw the ball in the hoop while the others watch him. Now, ain ' t that something! Charlie Greer, the head of that bunch of Middle Ten- nesseans, wound up his seventh year as Blue Raider coach. I believe that he got tired of seeing those guys run so much, so he is going to take over coaching the ends in football next year. Middle Tennessee ' s record against the other schools was six wins and 1 5 losses. They had won five of their first eight games but then lost 12 of their next 13. This was the first year that they failed to win a game in that there tough Ohio Valley Conference. That ' s where they lost 10 of them games. In the Volunteer State Athletic Conference they split even, winning four and losing four.

Both boys dumped in over 1,000 points while playing for the Raiders. Shrader scored 1,056, and Garden 1,034 for the Big Blue. Only two other Raiders have ever reached the elite 1,000 point group. ' Tommy Griffith, Hal Ghristiansen, and George Stot- ser were the other seniors to close out their college play. ' Three records were set by the 195 5-56 cagers. They cashed in on 37 free throws against Western Ken- tucky to set a new mark in the free throws scored de- partment. ' The other records were set by sophomore Ghester Adair. He hit on 17 of 22 free throw attempts against Belmont Gollege for a new total in both individual free throws attempted and free throws scored.

Now, this game is called baseball. The idea is to get more points than the other nine fellows on the other team or score more runs or something like that. The Baseball Team started out real well and won four of the first five games. But the season ended with eight wins and ten losses. However, there were only four men lost due to graduation. With five men returning to the line-up batting over .275 — John Carson, .371; Buck Rolman 146 .333; Carlton Galbreath, .313; Bobby Reasons, .300; and Doug Shrader, .280 — the future opposing pitchers had better watch out. Shrader led the RBI department with 19 for the season; he was followed by Captain Martin Garrett who had 13 RBI ' s. Under the expert coaching of Coach Fran Riel, the Raider Baseball Team, even with a losing season, kept all the spectators in their seats until the last out.

This golf game came from Scotland, they tell me; but I don ' t understand it too well. The Blue Raider ' Tee ' men scored victories over Sewanee once and David Lipscomb twice, lost to TPI and the return match at Sewanee was against their favor. They tied Western Kentucky and TPI to end the season with three wins, two losses, two ties, and a third-place berth in the Ten- nessee Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tourna- ment. Marty Graham was the low medalist in the OVC golf tournament where the Raiders placed fourth. KNEELING: Charlie Williams, Chuck Duncan tionsen, Roger Blackwood. Net Men Fotaid the Going Rough. This game is a new one on me too, but the idea is to score more points than your opponent. The Raider Tennis Team had a tough year and lost eight matches, while winning only one. The lone victory was a 6-1 OVC match with Eastern Kentucky State College. Losses came twice at the racquets of Western Kentucky, Ten- nessee Tech, and Florence and once each from High Point, North Carolina and David Lipscomb. The Raider net men ended up fourth in the OVC tour- nament at Western; and although the team ' s won-lost record was not too impressive, individual play was sparkling at times, like that of Chuck Duncan who won eight out of nine matches during the season.

GIRLS ' INTRAMURALS Girls Have As Much Fun As Boys in the Intramural Program. Hey, there, have I lost you again? There you are! What ' s that? Oh, you want to visit the gym. All right, follow me. Well, it seems as if we ' re in time for a ball game. That lady in charge of the game is Miss Buleah Davis, director of the girls ' intramural program. This is a little different from my day, but the girls have finally broken that reserve and are proving to have as much fun as the boys at these sports. The girls ' intramural program is conducted by the Women ' s Athletic Association. Girls who wish to enter into the group may do so simply by joining a team ac- cording to their major field. The intramural teams are made up of majors in the business, education, home eco- nomics, physical education, and science fields. Basket- ball is only one of the many sports in which the girls may participate. There are touch football and volleyball in the fall, badminton in the winter, and Softball in the spring. Other than these, there are swimming and tumb- ling anytime of the year. The competition is always high and interesting as the intramural championship is a coveted award among the various teams. Wish you could stay longer, but we must be moving on. Basketball Tiimhiing? KNEELING: Eddie Agee, Freddie Smith, G. P. West, Travis Akin.

This intramural program at MTSC is really some- thing. They let the Yankee boys and the Rebel boys play on the same teams. The program is organized to give all students a chance to take part in sports. Coach Joe Black Hayes is in command of the program and his aide-de-camp is Price Harrison, who serves as Student Director of Intramurals. Both do as good a job with the intramurals as old John Morgan did with his Raiders. Although the Blue and Gray were the ones who fought the war, this program includes teams of most all the colors, Brown, White, Black, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, and Red. I really don ' t know why they did not include our good old gray. With every outfit there must be a captain, so men were promoted from the ranks to lead their teams. Amid the maze of advancement, the college thinks health is essential to a successful life. This is very true — during our heavy battles at Chattanooga and Murfrees- boro, we often got very tired. The program enables the students not only to prove superiority in certain sports, but to compete for the sake of open participation. ' Every Student in Sports ' is the motto the program has adopted. The program goes on for nine months, and the fel- lows are awarded points for their teams whether they win the events or lose them. They chose an ' all-star ' basketball team in January to play a team of faculty members. On January 31 these all-stars played those teachers to a draw game. They had two ofificials named Jimmy Dunlap and Gene Smith who didn ' t have any eyes. Well, they had eyes, but all the all- stars thought they were blind. Anyway, these two men in striped shirts called might-near a hundred fouls on the all-stars and didn ' t call a one on the teachers. They told me after the game that there wasn ' t any use in run- ning away with the game, so they let the teachers tie it up so they would play again next year. 1956 Intramural Wrestling Champions and Runners-Up. , Aiy buddy, Andy, once asked me why those students at AITSC came to school. He said that from eight o ' clock in the morning until late in the afternoon hardly a soul was to be seen on the campus except for 10 minutes every hour and during chow time. I looked into the matter and found that everyone spends at least one-sixth of his day in class. These classes vary in size from the small ones of advanced calculus and French to the large ones of freshman English and biology. Sessions range from informal lectures and student teaching to ROTC night prob- lems and P. E. camp-outs. During class some students are bored, some are wide-aiiake, and some sleep. Sometimes the classes are cut and even dismissed for as- sembly. Those who come to MTSC combine the processes of studying, learning, and mak- ing friends in their daily classes — which are not really so bad after all. 152 STUDENTS MAKE FRIENDS IN CLASSES s E N I O R S SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS PAT WILSON Treasurer HAZEL TERRELL Secretary TOMMY SCOTT President SIDCORBAN Vice PresUetit 154 BoBBYE Golden Adams Tullahoma, Tennessee B.S., Music— FTA: Orchestra.; Re- porter Sue Adamson McMinnvitle, Tennessee B.S..

They share their actual classroom experiences with each other in evening, Saturday, and summer school classes. 209 I ' ve said all along that the area around MTSC has changed, but that ' s nothing com- pared to the change in the city oj Murjrees- boro itself. Back in ' 63 iihen I ivas through here, the toiin was just a little area oj not more than a couple oj square miles. Noiv it looks like a metropolis. When I was a youngster, I never had a chance to visit Alurjreesboro, so the first time I saw it was the day I rode in the Battle oj Stone ' s River. Yes sir, this was one oj the most important battles in the W ar Betueen the States. It was at Stone ' s River that the South was at the pinnacle oj confidence and power, and it ivas there that she was halted and turned back, never again to exhibit such strength. It was a battle that marked the turning point oj the war. Both the injantry and cavalry ivere active in the Battle oj Stone ' s River. Ajter such a great battle in Alurjreesboro, I never thought that such a prosperous toivn could develop jrom all the ruins I saw there. THEY BUY FROM THEIR ADVERTISERS MURFREESBORO LilUNDRY CO.

G R A D U A T I O N Well, I ' ve covered this college campus pretty well, I hope, and now I see what it is they have all been work- ing toward. It ' s called a diploma. When they get it, it ' s time to leave this place they have called home for the past four years. In the same length of time that it took my generation to fight a war, they have struggled for something like our cause. They fought for what they thought was right, what was true and lasting, and what can never be taken away from them. They have developed a loyalty similar to ours for the cause of the Confederacy, but their loyalty lies in their college. Some of the fellows are receiving commissions in the U. S. Army as second lieutenants. Some (412 of them) are veterans of recent wars. It seems as if there are some people in the world who want to take away some of the privileges that all of these students have. But I have a feeling that these young people will take what they have learned and put it to good use in planning future homes, states, and nations under a free form of government. Most of them look the same as they did when they came to college four years ago, but those who entered with ignorance are now leaving with knowledge. 224 FACULTY AND STAFF INDEX Abernathv, Robert ._ _ . __ _ 23 Ashley.
