The process of education bears many resemblances to a road and to a trip token along this road. It is uncannily ap- propriate that President Cope ' s new road is available to us for comparison. Before the road was begun, there was no evidence that there would ever be a road at all. So it is with an education. In the very first stages the exact route of the road was uncertain. Then the way to be token was definite and apparent, but the road was a rocky one. In fact, it was a rocky rood for a long time. So, again, it is with an education. Here our analogy ends. The road will be finally finished some day soon, but an education is never finished, not even for a while only to have its holes repaired later, as in the case of the road. Interestingly enough, when viewed from the top. President Cope ' s new road looks like a giant P. One observant faculty member has said that the P symbolizes the PROGRESS that M. T. S. C. has attained under President Cope. Not only is the rood a symbol, but it also is a definite port of our progress. All agree that it is a badly needed convenience and that it helps the M. T. S. C. campus operate more efficiently. Page 5 High School Students Spend day on Campus Bus Drivers find new road convenient :.-• piJ.-S J;?? ' ■ New rood under constructit Proud as a peacock is Dean Beosley showing off the new Fine Arts Building to Governor Ellington and Dr. C. C. Sims, retired history professor. This beautiful, sparkling edifice is a fine arts building in every sense: it is functional, having all sorts of rehearsal halls, practice rooms, listening rooms, and studios; and it is artistic. From the murals above the front entrance to the interior color scheme it is a work of art in itself. Dean Beasley can justly burst his buttons in pride as he describes the arts building to Governor Ellington and Dr. Sims. Pige 7 ;. „ . ADMINISTRATION Adminislralion—Page 9 The President of the College DR. QUILL E. COPE Page 10— Administration Dr. and Mrs. Cope, and their two sons, Jim and Roger. President Former State Commissioner of Education, Dr. Quill Cope, has virtually hastened the step of progress to doubletime in the short two years that he has served as President of Middle Tennessee State College. On the credit side of the accomplishment ledger, where most of President Cope ' s achievements are, are a new circular road around the center of the campus, tne newly remodelled Business Building, the new Beasley and Sims wings on the men ' s dormitory, new wings (presently under construction) to the women ' s dor- mitory, a campus-wide clock and bell system, additional landscaping, improved assem- bly programs, and the installation of IBM. With these remarkable strides in only two years, the present generation of M. T. S. C. students will scarcely predict what progress will have been made by Dr. Cope at the end of the decade. All concerned for M. T. S. C. will watch with pride and pleasure President Cope ' s dynamic leadership. Administration— Page 1 1 Governor The Marshall County delegation of M. T. S. C. students can be justly proud of their favorite son, Buford Ellington, who currently occupies the governor ' s chair. The former State Commissioner of Agriculture was inaugurated as governor in 1959, and has since proven himself to be a most able, efficient administrator. Amidst his infinite duties as chief executive. Governor Ellington still finds time to be active in the Methodist Church and the Scottish Rite Masons. Although the Governor is always esteemed by the faculty and stu- dents of M. T. S. C, this year he seems especially important to us. This is because he is Daddy in addition to being ' ' Governor. The Ellington ' s son, John Earl, graduated from M. T. S. C. a few years earlier, and their daughter, Anne, is now a freshman here. It would be safe to say that every- one was pleased to see Anne reign as Queen of the Military Ball this spring. Excellence quite evidently runs in Tennes- see ' s first family. Board of Education Page 1 2— Administration The Administrative Staff Composed of the department heads and various other officials vital to the administra- tion, the administrative staff is responsible for the basic policies that shape our institu- tion OS it is. The impressive conference room located near the President ' s offices is the meeting place of this staff, and also it is symbolic of its work to a great degree. Many a decision has been reached by the administrative staff over the long, shiny tables of the conference room. Administration— Page 1 3 DEAN KIRKSEY Dean of the Faculty, Dr. Howard Kirksey, received his A. B. degree at Union University, his M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from Peabody, and he has done further post-graduate study at the University of California. Dean Kirksey is chairman of the Graduate Council, of the Curriculum Committee, and of Campus School Committee, while he serves on the Administra- tive and Schedule Committees as well. It would be hard to say which is the more important to students— the fact that Dean Kirksey is in charge of the faculty personnel, or that he has the final word on graduation requirements. Surely the latter seems to be more important by for, at least directly. Dr. Kirksey is in demand over a wide area as a speaker and authority on education. Dean of Instruction DR. HOWARD KIRKSEY DEAN N. C. BEASLEY Dean N. C. Beasley, Dean of Admissions, has been at M. T. S. C. since September 1, 1927. Having been here longer than all but three faculty members. Dean Beasley has been loved and admired by students since he came to our college. His understanding and concern for students ' problems hove endeared him to all. Since coming to M. T. S. C. he has occupied many administrative positions. At present, in his post OS Dean of Admissions, he is responsible for the admis- sion of students and for the maintenance of academic re- cords for each student. He furnishes information to students and parents on the progress of the student, and he furnishes records of students to proper people. He also checks each application for graduation. Dean Beasley took both his B. S. and M. A. degrees at Peabody College, where he has also done post graduate work. DEAN BELT KEATHLEY Dr. Belt Keathley, Dean of Students, has one of the more unenviable jobs on campus. He has the perhaps potentially dangerous task of calling errant students on the carpet. However, most aspects of his position are more pleasant, though not less demanding. Dean Keathley is responsible for housing, recreation, student workers, student testing and counseling, the administration of the federal loan program, student health service, and advising the A.S.B. Furthermore, he teaches graduate courses in education and serves on six faculty committees, heading four of them. Dr. Keathley took his A. B. degree from Bethel College in 1931, his M. S. from the University of Tennessee in 1939, and his Ed. D. from the University of Tennessee in 1951. Deon of Students MR. N. C. BEASLEY Page 14—Atiminislralion Deon of Students DR BELT KEATHLEY Bursar Director of Field Activities MR. JACKSON and MR. WOODMORE MR. BOB ABERNATHY BURSAR The question is: is Mr. Jackson putting that money in or taking it out? Whatever the case may be, it must be satisfactory, for it seems to have Mr. Woodmore ' s approval. This year marked the retirement of Mr. Woodmore, and Mr. Jackson is his successor in the money department. M. T. S. C. students may be sure that their money is being safely and surely handled in the bursar ' s office. DIRECTOR OF FIELD ACTIVITIES Known to all for his vigorous back-slapping and jolly ioke-telling, Mr. Bob Abernathy is just the man to direct field services. Besides being a number-one public relations man, Mr. Abernathy is also a whiz in placement. No matter what you want to do upon gradua- tion, he will know of at least one position for you. For all his fun- nies, Mr. Bob is a dead serious type of worker; he always gets his job done, and he ' s never too busy to help. Dr. Homer Pittard was named Co-Director of Publications this year. He shares title with Mr. Eugene Sloan. Dr. Pittard heads the Alumni Paper and Yearbook and Mr. Sloan the newspaper and other school publicity. DR. HOMER PIHARD and DR.

Secretaries Bedlam would reign if it were not for ttie efficient staff of secretaries that invade every corner of the college. Thanks to them the educational efforts of students are recorded, and the wheels of endeavor move more smoothly along the road of learning. The responsibility they bear is no less than staggering when it is considered that they keep the vital statistics of each student, and that some of them have the power to help or hinder a student in his efforts. By con- sensus the M. T. S. C. secretarial staff agrees that a good school secretary should be an excellent typist and steno- grapher; she should have a knowledge of money and bank- ing and the intricacies of the custodial profession. She should like to run, and have an exceptionally strong back, a sympathetic ear, the patience of Job, a constant smile, and nerves of steel. It would help, too, if she could arrange flowers. Necessary equipment: orthopedic shoes, roller skates, and a large bottle of tranquilizers.

Housemothers If you qualify as a combination doctor-sergeant-psychiatrist- receptionist-diplomot, then you will make an excellent house- mother. No real mother has as many problems (or as many children, fortunately ' to contend with. Probably the worst aspect is the fact that when everyone else most wonts to go, then she must stay at home. Nevertheless, most veteran housemothers will say that there are compensations for the drawbacks of the job. For instance, when one of her children makes good, then it is almost as wonderful as if that person really were one of hers. It is just about even, when one tries to decide if the housemothers in the boys ' or in the girls ' dorms have more trouble. It is true that co-eds have rigid hours to keep, but then boys are not best known for their domestic prowess. There is a demerit system for insuring proper con- duct within the girls ' dorms, while there is always the threat of the housefather for the boys. In the final analysis, one conclusion may be drawn safely; never a dull moment! Administration— Page 1 7 .Vk CURRICULUM Curriculum — Page 19 Language Department Dr. Richard C. Peck, Head of the Department Mr. Coleman, Mr. Tucker, Mr. Evins Like death and taxes, for anyone who plans to graduate, contact with the language department is inescapable. It might be added that for some erstwhile students, this con- tact is catastrophic, and sometimes even ephemeral. The traditional joke about majors in English 101 is not entirely without foundation! The language department, like some of the other departments has the sizable task of providing language education for the institutional requirement and for majors in the field too. It evidently is doing the fine job that we suspected, for it has the reputation of being one of the finest English departments in the South. English, of course, composes the largest part of the department. Any English major will attest to the rigidity of the department. Every spring finds senior English majors in the throes of seminar papers and preparation for the oral exams. The excellence of the department is a direct result of the quality of its faculty. Not only is Dr. Richard Peck, department head, well-known for his proficiency in the field, but his wife. Dr. Virginia Peck is declared by authorities to be one of the South ' s best modern poets. Similar statements could equally well be made for the other members of the staff. An im- portant component of the language department is that of Miss Vaughn Dr. Virginia Peck ee 20— Curriculum Language Department Mr. Boutwell, Mrs. Dorethe Tucker, Mr. Trimble speech and dramatics. Mrs. Dorethe Tucker, wife of M. T. S. C. ' s most Ivy-League-looking English professor, adeptly guides the campus dramatic activities through at least three plays annually, as well as assisting with the opera. Mr. Lone Boutwell and Mrs. Clifton Trimble are in charge of the speech area of the language department. In addition to the speech courses they are in charge of the forensic activities. The final division of the language department is that of foreign lan- guages. Miss Elizabeth Schardt, who has been with M. T. S. C. since 1918, is in charge of French and Spanish. This year for the first time German was offered and taught by Mrs. Ortrun Gilbert. Long demanded, the German class was a decided success. Miss Schardt, Dr. Calcott, Miss Derryberry, Miss Voughn Curriculum— Page 21 Science Department Dr. Eldred Wiser, Head of the department Parchment, Dr. Rucker, Mr. Strobel Where the odors of sulphur and sweet rolls mix— often over- looked by juniors and seniors because it ' s building is off the more beaten paths, the science department might well be thankful for its seclusion from curious eyes and meddling fingers. Of course, freshmen and sophomores cannot by any stretch of imagination overlook this department, since they are still busily, and more often than not, painfully and re- luctantly, working off their institutional requirement in science. Every freshman receives, free of breakage fee, a frog for his own personal education, enjoyment, and mutilation. From the appearance of some of the used frogs, those harm- less, cuddly creatures were also used for frustration. Last, semester ' s biology grade was taken out of more than one frog ' s hide! However, the scientific entertainment does not end with the freshman year. Every sophomore is given the Mr. J. W. Gilbert Dr. Scott, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Boyd Page 22—C irriciiliim Science Department Miss Anderson, Dr. Exum Wotfs, Dr. Van Zandt shock of his life— while studying electricity. Physical Science 201 shares notoriety similar to that of English 101. Biology, chemistry, and physics are taught by a superior staff of professors. The majors and minors in these branches of natural science emerge well-versed in their disciplines and well-experienced in practice, due to the many long lobs which science students must take. This is time well spent, however, since scientists are now of such great value and in such demand in our society. Graduates with some type of science major may look forward to careers in industry, gov- ernment, teaching, or to further professional training in such areas as engineering or medicine. Curriculum— Page 23 Social Science Dr. Norman L. Porks, Head of the Department Dr. W. T. Windhan The Social Science Department is devoted to liberal educa- tion. The five disciplines of the department have limited vocational significance. The career opportunities toward which they primarily point are the careers of educated men in the social environment, whatever their particular voca- tions—be they law, business, teaching, social welfare, or civil service. Though the college student may apply directly some of the research and reflective knowledge of his social science pro- fessor, he does not graduate from the department as an expert practitioner or careerist in some profession or social laboratory. Rather it is the goal of the department that he will leave as a person who is seeking to relate the parts to the whole; like his professors, a generalist who has gained new insights into the nature of man and society; who through vicarious experience with the activities of men has identified himself with the Humanist and Liberalist tradition; who in- quires into the social consequences of any change; who keeps company with the great minds of the past and present; who is prepared to reaffirm the moral values of our culture; who values knowledge as the guide of life. Such a person given the perspective made possible in the social sciences will become not only a successful career man in the vocation of his choice, but also a citizen and a MAN. Many of the majors of the department enter directly the teaching field or civil service. Others elect professional training in low, public administration, and welfare work. The pre-law curriculum is attracting an increasing number; most of these students now take their degrees before enter- ing la,v school. Representatives of insurance, banking, manu- facturing and government interview social science graduates each year to select people for training and career service.

Inter-disciplinary teamwo: ' promotes the integration of methods and goo ' s. The depaiment now enrolls ap- proximately 2,000 students each semester and it has main- tained a 10 per cent rate of growtii for some years. Social Science ranks with Education in turning out the largest num- ber of graduates each year. The department is strongly staffed. Nine hold the Ph.D. degree and three have done extensive work beyond the M.A. Some of the department have had teaching experience at leading colleges and uni- versities before coming to M. T. S. C. The department ' s lab- oratory, the library, has grown rapidly during the past decade, there being more than 20,000 volumes relating to the areas of its five disciplines. Curriculum— Page 23 { f • 1 Dr. Wilmoth Bowdoin, Head of fhe Department Dr. Womock, Dr. Martin, Dr. Raper, Dr. Pittord Education Department Although no major is offered in education, it is generally recognized to be one of the more important departments of the college. Especially this is so since this institution was founded primarily for the purpose of furthering professional education in Tennessee. Dr. Wilmoth Bowdoin heads this department which purposely has no major to fit the design of the teacher training program. The program provides that those preparing to teach on the secondary level major in the subject which they plan to teach, while those becoming certified in the elementary area take a distribution major in- cluding a significant number of hours in art, music, mathema- tics, humanities, science, health and physical education, and social science. That is, these students become proficient in Miss Mary Ho Ptige 26— Curriculum Dr. Bealer Smotherman Dr. Finis Poole Education Department all the areas of the elementary teacher ' s responsibilities. Miss Mary Hall is the recognized campus authority on ele- mentary education. However, there are education majors offered for the M.A. degree. The major may be in either Administration and Supervision or in Curriculum and Super- vision. It looks like Drs. Womack, Martin, Raper, and Pittard might be conspiring to overthrow the rest of the college. Or maybe they ' re hearing a new joke as told by you-know- who. Dr. Smotherman may be viewed in his natural sur- roundings, the field of audio-visual aids. Drs. Moore, Abbott, Greever, and Beaty are hard at work outlining the policies (and pansies) of their department. ■ Dr. R. E. Moore, Dr. Abbott, Dr. Greever, Dr. Beaty Curriculum— Page 27 Student Teaching The Campus School Like ham without eggs would be an education department without a campus school, the teaching laboratory for edu- cation students. The M. T. S. C. Campus School serves pros- pective teachers by providing a place for them to teach in grades one through eight. With a teacher who holds an M.A. degree or more for each grade, the campus school also has the advantage of a controlled enrollment. The school serves, too, as a situation to be observed by students in the lower division education courses. Strange and amusing events are sometimes observed, as was the case when one third grade girl came running up to her teacher to report that she had been called a bad word by one of the boys, but this little girl didn ' t know whether she should tell the word or not. Well . . . she hesitated, it starts with a ' e ' . Unable to hold it any longer the little girl burst out, He called me a ' ediot ' !

All education students are now being urged to take full-day stu- dent teaching if at all possible. It is believed that this set-up provides the closest resemblance to the actual teaching situation which is the purpose of the department. Secondary Teaching Supervisors, Dr. Beaty and Dr. R, E. Moon Curriculum— Page 29 Business Department Dr. E. W. Midget), Head of the Department Mr. Fowler Todd The M. T. S. C. business department enjoys the prestige of attracting more majors than any other department of the college. During the 1959 fall semester it boasted over 500 majors. Of course the other departments prefer to think that the attractive new home of the business department is one of the primary reasons for its popularity. .After taking a tour of the newly completed business building most will agree that it seems sufficient to influence the enrollment in Mr. Hollie Sharps Mr. John Puckett, Students Sharon Brooks and Carol Curnmings Pjge iO—Ciirrh Ilium business. The business building consists of ten air conditioned classrooms, most of which are of a specialized nature. It has a model office, a projection room, student and faculty lounges, and class enclosed transcription booths. Generally agreed to be the greatest improvement iwith air conditioning running a close second! ' ore the private offices for each of the business faculty members and the one for the Gamma Chi Chapter of Pi Omega Pi, the business honorary fraternity. Business Department Mr. John Puckett Furthermore, the business department intends to odd new equipment yearly to maintain its standing as one of the best equipped business departments in the south. The business department feels that the best preparation for a business career is a liberal education and a business education, with a proper proportion of specialized training in business sub- jects. Majors may be token in business administration, secretarial administration, and business education. Required courses include accounting, economics, business law, and business English. Mr. Walter Chatman The new student lounge Curriculum— Page il j Mr. Neil Wright Mrs. Margaret Wright Music Department At the same time while training music teachers for the schools of our state, the M. T. S. C. music depart- ment enriches the cultural life of the surrounding area by providing experiences to develop music appreciation. The many varied musical programs which are available almost daily to the M. T. S. C. student demonstrate the department ' s efficiency. Frequent concerts and recitals give music students valuable practice and music lovers enjoyable per- formances. The fact that the musical organizations of chorus, band, orchestra are open to all students may be misleading in one respect; it may seem that a music major or minor is making a career out of a hobby or recreation. But if one should consider the requisites for a music major or minor, he would readily see that it is a difficult field of specilization. Each major must take part in two of the three organ- izations during the entire four years. An instrumental Rubye Taylor Sanders Page 32— Curriculum Mrs. Ortrun Gilbert onj Di Mr. Kenneth Pace Music Department proficiency and a senior recital are also required. The many students who are not music majors or minors but who are members of the orchestra, chorus, or band are thankful that the music department opens its doors to outsiders . The department is open to other outsiders too, since several conventions and festivals concerning music are held on campus each year. It is not wonder that this department is one of the busiest of the college! Mrs. Temple Hansford and Mr. Chorles Hansford Curriculum— Page 33 Dr. Fran Riel, Head of the Department Miss Davis and Mrs. Lycans Health and • • • Despite the old maxim, the Health and Physical Education department of M. T. S. C. successfully mixes business and pleasure. By the same token, a Health and Physical Educa- tion major or minor is not all ploy and no work. Majors must include such little academic gems as Kinesiology (spiced by daily tests), and Anatomy and Physiology. Smiling Dr. Fran Riel ably directs the course of study for his many majors and minors. His staff of nine members cooperates in attaining the departmental aim of maintaining the best possible physical, mental, and social well-being in its students. Special courses are designed to develop the ability to plan, organize, and con- duct an adequate program of health, physical educati on, and recreation in the schools and communities of this region. The Mr. Diddle and Mr. Stokes Page 34— Curriculum Bubber Murphy, Coach Hayes, Coach Deere, and Coach Rolman Physical Education Physical Education department is well-equipped for its job. Indoors there ore two gymnasiums; five activity rooms, indoor courts including basketball, volleyball, badminton, shuffle- board, and tennis; and a swimming pool with the latest water system which keeps the water in constant circulation and in the best condition. In the great outdoors the facilities include Jones Field, which seats 7500 people for football games, and has a surrounding quarter-mile track with a 220-yard straight- away; several turfed fields for speedball, softboll, golf prac- tice, and varsity baseball; three concrete and five clay tennis courts for both class and recreational use; and archery ranges. Our vigorous varsity sports program is well-known in this area, and M. T. S. C. is a member of the Ohio Valley, Vol- unteer State, Tennessee Intercoileglate, and Notional Collegi- ate Athletic Associations. Physical Education majors may find careers in teaching on all levels, leading recreation in such organizations as the Scouts and the Y ' s, camping, coaching, sports reporting, sports officiating, instructing in first aid, supervising parks, and also in rehabilitation and physio- therapy. The opportunities in the field of physical education, health, and recreation may be summarized in saying that graduates of the field are needed by the nation ' s children, the nation ' s health, the new leisure, and American democracy. To meet the growing demands upon it, M. T. S. C. department plans to expand both its indoor and outdoor facilities, and to grant a Master ' s degree in Physical Education. Curriculum— Page 35 Mathematics Dr. Harris J. Dark, Head of the Department Mr. Horace Jones Basking in its recently augmented fame and importance since Sputnik, the M. T. S. C. mathematics department is expand- ing its program with the addition of two new staff members holding the doctor ' s degree, and also Richard McCord who is on leave of absence working towards his doctorate is to return this summer session. Through its enlarged staff, the mathematics department is extending its offerings in upper division and at the graduate level. This department has used a unique method of increasing its staff, that of employing its own graduates. This year Miss Birdie Ann Donnell did an admirable job as a mathematics instructor. Mr. Roy Simpson Page 36— Curriculum Miss Donnell and Miss Stubblefield Mathematics Both mathematics majors and minors must take that tradi- tional mathematics bugaboo, calculus. If they can survive this and some of the other less than easy requirements, mathematics majors emerge assured of a promising career. In addition to training mathematics majors, the department gives basic mathematical training needed for meeting the teacher certification requirements, for pre-engineering and pre-medicol students, for majors in the natural sciences and other programs of study, and for meeting the requirements of the general education core curriculum. Mr. Burns Phillips, Mr. Joe Evans, Mr. Jesse Smith Curriculum— Page 37 Industrial Arts Mr. Edwin S. Voohies, Head of the Department Dr. Harold L Baldwin Since the industrial arts department was established at Middle Tennessee State College in 1911, with one instructor, it has expanded since into a 9-teacher department with over 40,000 square feet of floor space and equipment valued at more than $450,000. Courses ore offered in woodwork, machine shop, drafting, sheet metal, welding, crafts, electricity, industrial arts education, and engineering. It is the purpose of the de- partment to prepare teachers of industrial arts for the public schools and to offer an industrial-technical background for those students who desire employment in industry. Mr. John Wade Mr. Harold Jewell A Student who wishes to major in industrial arts must include hours in each of the following areas: drafting woodwork, metalwork (including machine shop), and electricity. A student who wishes to minor in industrial arts must complete eighteen semester hours as approved by his minor professor. Certification to teach industrial arts would require nine semester hours in each of two areas. A student who is interested in engineering may enter our pre-engineering pro- gram at Middle Tennessee State College and prepare him- self to transfer to an engineering college for his last two Page 38— Curriculum Department Mr. Philip Dalton Mr. C. H. Duggii years of the engineering curriculum. By cooperative agree- ment with the University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt Uni- versity, a student, after completing three years at M. T. S. C, may transfer to either of these colleges of engineering and, Vi ' ithin two years, complete the requirements for a Bachelor of Engineering degree. Exceptional students may transfer to the college of engineering at the end of two years at M. T. S. C. M. T. S. C. was the first of the state Colleges to offer grad- uate work in industrial arts. At present, 5 courses at the graduate level are offered to those students who are inter- ested in professional growth in the field of industrial arts. The industrial arts department has planned to expand in each area of specialization as the number of students in- creases. It will continue to work through our public schools and industries of the nation to keep its program up to date and give its students the background of industrial and tech- nical education needed to understand their work in the present age of rapid technological development.

The kitchens of the home economics department over in Science Hall are the places voted here I would most like to be marooned for the weekend. Although home economics is one of the most enjoyable majors that a girl can select, it is also difficult due to the strict departmen- tal requirements and to scheduling problems. The home economics practice teachers con tell about the extra amount and the after-hours ' work that goes into their major. Another bitter-sweet aspect of a home economics major is the intern- ship semester that each girl must spend in the spacious. Vage M)— Curriculum Economics Miss Mary Haynie and Miss Helen Stevens Georgian Home Living Center on Tennessee Boulevard. Dur- ing the first half of the semester the girls are graded on their homemaking skills, including how well they manage on their budget of $1.00 per day for each girl, which must suffice for the weekly dinner parties, in addition to maintaining number one. The sweet part of this semester is that during the last half the girls are not graded, but they may still enjoy the privileges of the Center. The home economics major may find on occupation as a teacher, demonstration agent, home economist in business, social worker, or she may further pursue careers in dietetics, textiles, retailing, or nursery school. Those young women who simply wish to come better homemakers or improve their personal development may take a home eco- nomics minor or electives. Mrs. Lucille Estes Curriculum— Page 41 u u Mr. J. E. Young The M. T. S. C. agriculture department mokes hoy while the sun shines by keeping up with the latest in agricultural de- velopments. If the time ever comes when we grow all of our food in a barrel of chemicals, then Dr. Biggers, new depart- ment head, will start ordering barrels. In fact he may be hiding such secrets now behind that padlocked door that he ' s guarding with a smile. Mr. J. E. Young, youngest (and hand- somest) member of the department, helps to carry the depart- ment ' s objectives of providing their students with a technical and practical knowledge of the agricultural sciences. They emphasize beef production, milk production, field and horti- cultural crops, soil fertility and conservation, agricultural business, and agricultural mechanics. Page 42—Cnrrkuliim u u Above is a cow ' s eye view of our agriculture plant. The huge, impressive, scientific-looking barn and silos are main sources of pride, but they are only a part of the equipment with which the agriculture students work. The requirement for enrolling in agriculture is a desire on the port of the student to learn more about solving the problems associated with livestock, crops, and soils. Mr. Gracy, who is known to the rest of the college through his attendance at most of the social functions, and Dr. Stark, who is known for his outstanding service in India from where he has just returned, ore the other two standbys of this depart- ment. Their future plans for the agriculture de- partment are associated with the demand for more agricultural technicians to provide a more efficient production of forage, food, and fiber for the needs of the rapidly increasing population in the United States of America. Dr. Gracy and Dr. Stark Curriculum— Page 43 Dr. Clarence Greever, Head of the Department Mr. David LeDou Art Department Art majors must include in their program of forty-five semester hours drawing and composition, color and design, painting, crafts, art methods, and art appreciation and history. There are currently about seventy art majors, minors, and elemen- tary education majors who are taking an art emphasis. It is planned that the near future will see the initiation of courses in sculpture, ceramics, and water color. And if the present interest in art continues as it has, it will be necessary to secure additional staff and equipment, of course, is still a subject of much excitement to the department since it has just this year moved into its new home. A standing invitation is issued to all interested persons to visit the new building and observe the students in action. The art gallery is on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building, while studios, laboratories, and offices comprise the entire third floor of the building. Since moving into the new building last September the art depart- ment has acquired several thousand dollars worth of new equipment and supplies. M. T. S. C. ' s own Rubens can be seen using some of these supplies. Go ahead— that stroke looks about right! David LeDoux, whose art is frequently on exhibit is helping two art students. Page 44— Curriculum Mr. Fred Rubens Mr. Charles Brandon Art Department Ars gratis artis — the motto of the art department. Dr. Clarence Greever, who is also no mean rose grower, heads this department which is designed to prepare art teachers, assist students preparing for careers in various phases of commercial art, increase students ' appreciation and understanding of art, create more intelligent consumers of art, and teach sufficient skills for satisfactory pursuit of art as a lesiure time activity. Mr. David LeDoux is seen above helping two art students attain these objectives of the department. Mr. Charles Brandon is caught at his best, which is in the field of crafts. Isn ' t he reminis- cent of the Ruboiyat? Mr. David LeDoux Curriciiliini—Page 45 A V I t I o n Dr. Smotherman The Division of Aviation is a rather special instruc- tional area of the college. Seven courses and a total of 24 hours are offered, including the Aviation Education Workshop, which coordinates airage in- formation and the public school curriculum. Although all aviation courses are in the upper division, they are open to students of all classifications. Courses include meterology, navigation, radio. Civil Aero- nautics regulations, theories of flight and engines, and flight instruction. In order to get college credit for flight instruction, one must have at least 20 clock hours of flight. Usually students can make a solo flight at the end of the first flight instruction course. Mr. Lanier and Dr. Smotherman, also of the education department, head the Division of Aviation. They note that despite the extra cost of flight, more students are increasingly interested and enrolling in aviation.

McNary completes this June his tour of duty OS the Professor of Military Science and Tactics at M. T. S. C. A graduate of Indiana State College in 1942, he was com- missioned from the ranks in the U.S. Army in 1943. An Infantry veteran of numerous campaigns in World War II on- ' Korea, Major McNary receives his M. A. degree from M. T. S. C. this June. During his tour at M. T. S. C, Major ary has won the favor and friendship of the student body and the faculty. Captain Thomas E. Adams, Jr., Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics, received his A. B. degree from American University, and has completed 2 years work toward his Law Degree at Washington and Lee University. Commissioned Infantry in 1943, Captain Adams is a veteran of World War II and Korea. At M. T. S. C. Captain Adams has taught such R.O.T.C. subjects as: Leadership, Military Instruction, Branches of the Army, and Military Law. Captain Adams completes his tour at M. T. S. C. in June; his next assignment is Germany. Captain Robert E. Nelson, Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics graduated from North Georgia College in 1950. Prior to commissioning and graduation, Seniors taking R.O.T.C, hove had to run the gauntlet of Captain Nelson ' s fire in such military courses as: Operations, Logistics and Administration. All will vouch for his thoroughness and capabilities as a military instructor. An Infantry veteran of Korea, Captain Nelson completes his tour of duty with M. T. S. C. in June of this year. He expects to be assigned to duty with troops at Fort Benning, Georgia. Coptain Robert E. Nelson Page 146-R.O.T.C. Capt. Allen K. Hall; Capt. William G. Carter; Capt. Edgar M. Howard. M Sgt. Nolan J, Benson; M Sgt. Eugene W. Grant; S.F.C. Wallace K. Reed. The instruction section of officers is responsible for the actual class- room instruction as directed by the operations section. Captain Carter is in charge of training the freshmen cadets in one semester of weapons and marksmanship and one semester of American military history. Under Captain Howard the sophomore cadets are instructed in gunnery, crew serve weapons, map reading, and the U. S. role in world affairs. Junior cadets, who must have outstanding records for their freshman and sophomore years and who are voluntary, are directed by Captain Hall in learning about the branches of the army, small unit tactics, and communications. Captain Nelson instructs the senior cadets in operations, logistics, administration, military justice, and pre-service orientation. Opera- tions has jurisdiction over the instruction section through the planning of instruction. Every aspect of instruction except the very instruction itself is handled by operations. Such things as lesson plans fall into this category. The administration section is composed of two divisions: the instructor group, headed by M Sgt. Huckeby, and the cadet records, which are supervised by M Sgt. Ensey. The function of the supply section is self-explanatory. It is responsible for seeing that sufficient weapons, uniforms, and other military supplies are available. M Sgt. Leonard W. Huckeby; M Sgt. Fred W. Ensey. S.F.C. William D. Wilson; S.F.C. Gerald C.

T. €• Department The R.O.T.C. Department Is the one place on the campus where male students con receive credit for the hours of the subject taken and at the same time prepare themselves to fulfil their military obliga- tion to their country as leaders. Every male student that is a non-veteran and is not physically handicapped must complete two years of basic R.O.T.C. At the end of this time the outstanding sophomore cadets ore given the opportunity to continue in the advanced course, and when this is completed the men are eligible for a commission as a Second Lieutenant in either the Army Reserve or the Regular Army. The Cadet Corps is organized as a Battle Group, which is composed of five companies. There is an outstanding company chosen from the corp ' s week-to-week per- formance at the regular Tuesday Drill, and every year there is an outstanding company chosen at the annual Federal Inspection. M. T. S. C. can be proud of its unit because for the past few years we have received a superior rating at the annual inspections. Also, M. T. S. C. Is one of the few schools in the country where the R.O.T.C. unit has its own building to house its operation. R.O.T.C. is a form of federal aid to education in that the U. S. Army pays the R.O.T.C. instructors, rather than the college paying professors to teach the R.O.T.C. subjects. Page 148-R.O.T.C. FLAG BEARERS PRESENT COLORS Federal Inspection Despite the cadets ' reluctance to march on warm spring days in order to practice for federal inspection, each one is anxious for the corps to receive the best rating possible, and each one is probably just as anxious that his company be chosen the out- standing one. Partly in spite of and partly because it involves so much hard work, cadets take a sense of pride in their corps ' rating, whether they openly confess it or not. Needless to say, the M. T. S. C. cadets strive even more to maintain the superior rating which they have been awarded for the past few years. R.O.T.C.-Page 149 Front Row {L. to R.); Charles E. Crowe, Charles G. Tucker, Howard G.

C. in this fancy drill unit. Volunteers from the cadet corps compose its membership. This year the team had the privilege of being admired by many more other than students and friends of M. T. S. C. when it went to the Tangerine Bowl to perform at the half-time ceremonies. Spectators who are impressed by the faultless precision of the Sam Davis platoon would easily understand its degree of perfection if they could only witness the team frequently drilling in front of the library in the evening. The hup, two, three ' s can be heard all across the campus whenever the team drills. Even during these practice sessions the Sam Davis Drill Team attracts admirers. Page 150-R.O.T.C. DRILL TEAM PASSES IN REVIEW R. O. T. C. Band Unit Those fortunate freshmen and sophomore cadets who hove superior musical ability are drafted to compose the R.O.T.C. band. This is a definite drawback if a cadet is given to cutting, since bond members must be present in order that the regular cadets can drill. This band participates in several parades and ceremonies throughout the year, the most note- worthy of which is, of course, the annual federal inspection. Woe betide he who hits a sour note then! Actually, the R.O.T.C. band is usually more proficient than the average bond, so the danger of a mistake is reduced. This fact con- tributes to the superior rating which the M. T. S. C. cadets have received in recent years. R.O.T.C.-Page 151 Front Row (L. to R.): J. L. Clupper, J. R. Fulghum, W. J. Hickey, Jr., P. E. Stidham, L. D. Griffith, F. U. Lahde, M. T. Berry, Joe B.

Women ' s Rifle Team in February, 1959, the Raiderettes, the M. T. S. C. women ' s rifle team, was ofFicially organized. As might be expected, it is under the direction of the R.O.T.C. department. It is the hope of the Raiderettes to create more interest in rifle marksmanship, and mem- bership on the team is based upon competitive firing. Of all the girls who try out, the top twenty of those firing are selected first. Then, from these twenty top-notch girls, the top ten are chosen. These ten crackshots compose the regulars of the team who fire against the teams of competing schools. Captain for 1959-1960 is Carolyn Cox, co-captain is Dot Hiett, secretary is Sandra Barrett, and treasurer is Martha Lynch.

Track and Sabre Club Group 11 Included among the social activities of the club are the dances which it sponsors each year. There is customarily a Track and Sabre Dance in the fall, which is semi-formal and features a local band. This is only a practice session in comparison to the formal dance which the club sponsors annually in the spring. This year the club provided the most enjoyed social event of the school year when it had the Tommy Dorsey Band for the annual R.O.T.C. Ball. As could be expected, the dance was crowded to capacity, and the Tommy Dorsey Band, led by Warren Covington, did not disappoint those who attended. The decorations, whose theme was An Evening in Paris, were the most elaborate in years. All in all, this R.O.T.C. Boll was the best dance held at M. T. S. C. in several years. The entire college community is grateful to the Nathan Bedford Forest Club for making possible such on event.

Student Christian Union To this central organization most of the various campus religious groups subscribe. However, it has no jurisdiction over the separate groups, but Instead ofFers the opportunity for all Christian students, regard- less of denominational affiliation, to v orship God in one spirit. Perhaps its highest aim is to remove the small prejudices and religious bias that exists among the different groups. S. C. U. regularly meets on the first Wednesday night of each month for a program presented by its mem- ber groups. But the first contact that an incoming frosh has with S. C. U. is the first Wednesday night service, which is in the form of a vesper service on the steps of the Administration Building. This is just a preview of the inspiring programs that are offered during the year. Also, S. C. U. Is responsible for the daily noonday devotions, on which you con depend as surely as on the sunrise! The biggest project which it sponsors, Religious Emphasis Week, occurs during spring semester. Each year the problem is in obtaining tfie best speaker possible without overstepping the budget. This speaker pre- sides over at least two assemblies and often over informal evening discussions in some of the dormitories. Another S. C. U. function is the provision of special services at Thanksgiving and Easter time. Heading S. C. U. during 1959-1960 are Roy Emerson, president; Bonnie Slatton, vice-president; Sarah Croft, program chairman; Nancy Bagwell, secretory-treasurer; Shirley fowler, publicity chairman; Ellen Ellas, social chairman; Jean Blair, pianist; Bobby Hollingsworth, song leader.

Baptist Student Union Certainly one of the largest and most vigorous church groups on the M. T. S. C. campus is that of the Baptist Student Union. It is for two reasons: the purpose that it embodies and the quality of its leader- ship (which, paradoxically enough, is headed by one Jack Daniel). The rest of the sizeable roster of officers includes Joe Nicholson, vice-president; Borbara Wassom, secretory; Margaret Eakin, social chairman; Nolan Barham, music chairman; Bobby Kerr, devotional chairman; Jerry Smothers, publicity chairman; Jerry Roper, evangelistic chairman; jerry Sands, stewardship chairman; Audra Blevins, Y. W. A. president; Jean Blair, First Church Representative; Betty Webster, Third Church Representative; Mr. Jesse Smith, faculty advisor; and Robert Palmer, Pastor advisor. Lavino Fly is the amiable student director, whose pretty face and voice are also seen and heard at functions other than t hose of the B. S. U. The B. S. U. serves as a link between the Baptist students and the local churches in the college center. At the same time it is the church at work reaching out to students. Membership is made up of those who affiliate themseves in some way with one of these local churches. It emphasizes the Baptist denomination of which its student members are a port. The B. S. U. also serves as a recruiting agency, and its program is a leadership training ground for the local churches, for the state and Southern Baptist Convention boards and agencies, and for the Christian world mission at large. In addition to the traditional Wednesday night meeting, the B. S. U. has a weekly study course every Friday night, and every Thursday night. Dean Freedle, an M. T. S. C. graduate student, directs the B. S. U. Choir in reheorsal. This year M. T. S. C. sent about thirty delegates to the Baptist Student Convention held in Nashville from October 30, until November 1. A skating party, on annual banquet, and several retreats are also scheduled each year.

Organizations— Page 169 Wesley Foundation The M T S. C. Methodist student group meets each Wednesday evening in an effort to promote Christianity on the college campus with its programs, which are presented both by students and outside speakers. Joel Underwood, Wesley Foundation Director, cooperates with Dr. Bealer Smotherman, sponsor; Jerry Dooley, president; Barbara Malone, vice-president; Jane Turrentine, secretary; and Holland Bratten, treasurer; to lead the group. The two local Methodist churches, First and St. Mark ' s, work closely with Wesley Foundation. The 1959-1960 school year was highlighted with the first Wesley Players ' production. Cry, the Beloved Country, which received favorable criticism, as well as providing a new experience for the Methodist group. A Wesley annual feature, the spring retreat, and a Wesley Choir, were also 1960 projects.

Church of Christ Group In order to help their fellowship students to gain both a closer relationship to each other as well as to God, the Church of Christ group sponsors a wide range of activities, ranging from their weekly worship and educational meetings to hayrides. They also include a skating party, spring and fall camping trips, a Christmas party, and a spring banquet in their crowded calendar. In spite of its full schedule, the Church group manages to publish a monthly paper, the Campus Christian, for its students, which makes it one of the few campus church groups to do this. And even more— the Bereans are a Bible study group which meets bi-weekly in the home of some professor. Howard Vaughn, president, leads the group this year. Serving with him are Paul Noles, vice-president; Shirley Pigg, secretary,- social chairman, Yvonne Powell; and Campus Christian Co-Editors, Cecile Mayberry and Lynda Eubank. Dr. Exum Watts is the faculty sponsor. Organizations— Page 171 Westminster Fellowship First Row (L. to R.): Brook loops, Fred Camp, Ellen Elios, Phil Harper, Mrs. Robert Harrison, Advisor.

T. S. C. There are over 500 such Newman Clubs at United States colleges, and each one works through a chaplain. The M. T. S. C. Newman Club initiates its members in conjunction with the Vanderbilt and Peabody clubs. Dinner parties are held throughout the year, and representatives attend the State and Notional Catholic Conventions. Of outstanding interest is the retreat made by the boys of the club to the Troppist Monastery in Bereo, Kentucky. By these means the Newman Club strives to achieve its objective of deepening the spiritual and enriching the temporal lives of its members, through a balanced program of religious, social, and intellectual octivities.

Tau Omicron Are you going to have TO put on your class ring? — a favorite topic of conversation among TO girls. Membership in this honorary society is coveted by junior and senior v omen more than in any other organization, since it is not a depart- mental society, but open to all girls who qualify. As the qualifications are both stiff and comprehensive, this is charac- teristically a small club in proportion to the number of junior and senior women. Miss Davis and Miss Schardt co- sponsor Tau Omicron, and this year they had the rather dubious honor of leading their flock through .the throes of rewriting their constitution. Other more enjoyable events were the fall initiation banquet, which revealed some unsus- pected dramatic talent among the tremulous initiates, and the meeting at Christmas time for which Miss Davis was hostess in her home, and at the spring initiation and alumni banquet in April. All of the TO activities ore to carry out the TO mottO: To build rath than destroy. The 1959-1960 officers are Barbara Rogers, President; Bonnie Slatton, Vice-President; Nancy Bagwell, Secretary; Audrey Derryberry Massey and Marie Francis, Treasurers. Page 174— Organizations Kappa Delta Pi Among the many who ore working toward a teaching certificate, there ore somewhat fewer who are deeply and devotedly interested in the realm of education as a pro- fession. These ore the students who may be selected for membership in Kappa Delta Pi, an Honor Society in Education, as it is now officially tagged. Only juniors and seniors of high scholastic standing and having an interest in professional education are chosen. Upon initiation, Kadelpians are pledged to knowledge, duty, and power, which the name of the society signifies. Fortunately the steep dues, which are common to the nationals, include the vital Educational Forum, the professional publication. The agenda of the M. T. S. C. chapter, Theta Omicron, includes initiation banquets, and the mad scramble for programs to compete with those of other organizations. This year it engaged in a fast and furious campaign to sell mums for the big Tech game in order to finance the very annual space at which you are now staring! Organizations— Page 175 fTOitaX ta CiA Mt M Another of the stricter departmental honor societies is Pi Gamma Mu, the honor society in social science. Either majors or minors are eligible, provided that they can make the rest of the high hurdles required for invita- tion to the society. The aim of Pi Gamma Mu is the development and maintenance of superior scholastic standards among social science majors and minors. The seven ideals of Pi Gamma Mu exemplify this goal- Scholarship, Science, Social Science, Social Idealism, Sociability, Social Service and Sacrifice. New members are initiated each semester, and usually the spring initiation also features a banquet and a prominent guest speaker in the field of social science. Dr. Windham patiently sponsors his radi- cals who are led by Barbara Rogers, presi- dent; Donald Hill, secretary; Judy Smith, treasurer; and Richard Palmer.

This is the honor society for those who excel in the department of business, and members bring all of their businesslike skills to the organiza- tion when they join. The fall initiation of Pi Omega Pi was celebrated at a banquet on November 5, and the initiates learned of the Pi Omega Pi goals of creating and encouraging interest and promoting scholar- ship in business education, of aiding in civic betterment in colleges and universities, of fostering high ethical standards in business and professional life, and of teaching the ideal of service as the basis of all worthy enterprise. It will be expected that none of our M. T. S. C. business graduates will engage in unethical business practices after their introduction to the high aims of Pi Omega Pi! This year Alice Boyd led Pi Omega Pi as president, and her capable fellow-officers are Sharon Brooks, vice-presi- dent; Judy Holder, secretary; and Billie Jean Chrisman, treasurer. Speech Arts Society First Row (L. to R.): Mr. Trimble, Bill Nourse, Patricia Jackson Jones, Molly Lynch, Jaylyle Fahlin, Lind a Moroble, Janice Wynn, Stanley Rogers. Second Row (L. to R.: Bill Bush, Groden Kirksey, Maurice Boween, Robert Parkhurst. Front and center is the call of the Speech Arts Society for those who excel in the art of verbal communication, and an art it truly Is. If you have an interest in speech activities. Speech Arts would like to further this interest, and also to stimulate progress in your speech ability. The philosophy of this society is that such activ- ity is the basis of leadership training for life. Naturally, those in pre-law, those majoring in English, and those in other similar programs are especially concerned with Speech Arts, although it is one of the most beneficial activ- ities that any college student can spend his time on. Speech Arts can also be regarded as the vanguard for Pi Kappa Delta, the speech honorary society. The talented president of the Speech Arts So- ciety for this year is Bill Nourse, and the other officers are Bill Bush, vice-president; Molly Lynch, secretary,- Janice Wynne, treasurer; and the sponsor is Mr. Clifton Trimble of the Speech Department. Affirmative or negative? Those who know their rebuttals from a declamation take the affirmative for Pi Kappo Delta. In any given year the Pi Kappa Delta members at M. T. S. C. take more than their share of honors at the various speech and debate tournaments in which they participate. In fact, it could prob- ably coast for a year or two on past victories, but it ambitiously refuses to rest on old laurels. The nationally recognized Pi Kappa Delta key which member may wear is a compensation for those things which he must sacrifice to pro- mote forensics in his college and to improve his own speaking ability. The highpoint of every member ' s active membership in Pi Kappa Delta comes when he is selected to represent the M. T. S. C. Zeta Chapter in the Notional Convention and Tournament. At that event he will meet and be in competition with some eight-hundred top collegiate speakers and de- baters from more than 35 states. In addition to stimulating concern for and participation in intercollegiate speech activities and developing leadership potential. Pi Kappa Delta encour- ages a spirit of fellowship, cooperation and incentive for achievement. Widely known and widely loved Lane Boutwell of the speech de- partment sponsors this club, and fie is also Governor of the Southeastern United States Province of Pi Kappa Delta. The president is Bill Nourse, who serves as president of another club centered around speech activity, and other officers are Tim Champlin, Vice-President; and Molly Lynch, Secretary.

Epsilon Pi Tau is the national honorary professional fraternity in industrial arts and industrial-vocational education. In its efforts to lead the profession in progress, it is especially important to those going into the industrial arts education field. It goes without saying that only lA majors are eligible for this honorary, and even though you might like to just putter around the house, you need not expect an invitation.

Not only is home economics the object of Kappa Omicron Phi, but also the belief in the ideal of womanhood. It hopes to develop women with higher ideals of sane living by leading them to aspire to greater intellectual and cultural achievements. Of special note, too, is the Kappa Omicron Phi aim to deepen appreciation of the sanctity of the home by means of broader social attainment. Since 1956, when it was newly organized on this cam- pus. Kappa Omicron Phi has consistently worked toward the perfection of its goals through every activity that it undertook. It is no wonder that every home economics major wishes on a star that she might be invited to join Kappa Omicron Phi.

C. auditorium resembles an Italian street fair. And it is no marvel, because that is the time and place of the weekly meetings of the Buchanan Players, the campus dra- matic crew. Most organizations do not have enough business to meet weekly, but Buchanan does, and the various production crews meet nearly every other night in the week too. Staging two or three full length produc- tions and staging much of the opera, as well as getting up weekly produc- tions makes a pretty crowded agenda for the Players. This year the fall semester play was Ladies in Retirement which was probably most notable for featuring Bonnie Hudgens, resplendent and complete, in Q rusty-nail-colored wig. For the first time, even in the memory of some of our professional career students, the spring play was a collectior of one act plays entitled An American Sampler. This innovation is typical of drama director Dorethe Tucker ' s originolity and initiative. A more nearly perfect drama director would be hard to find, especially from the standpoint of vitality and enthusiasm, which must be the sparkplugs of any drama club. Buchanan Players is the springboard for aspiring Alpha Psi Members in addition to being the sponsor of all dramatic efforts of M. T. S. C. Leadership of the Ployers this year was given by Sarah Croft, president; Jerry Dooley, vice-president; Lynda Eubank, secretary; Bonnie Hudgens, corresponding secretary; and Beverly Sadler, treasurer. Alpha Psi Omega The goal of all those who love the smell and feel of grease paint and the giddiness of an opening night is membership in Alpha Psi. Chosen fortunates are from neophytes belonging to the Buchanan Players, which is open to anyone who is interested in the dramatic field. In order to progress from the Players to Alpha Psi, one must show pro- ficiency on a points-basis in designing or constructing sets, managing. directing, costuming, applying make-up, or acting. Mrs. Dorethe Tucker, director of d rama, is of course sponsor. Beverly Sadler is grand director this year, and her supporting cost consists of Jerry Dooley, stage manager; Bruce Hancock, business manager; end Dickie Barnes, olter- nate. A less widely-known function of the M. T. S. C. Alpha Psi chopter is the hosting of the cost and crew party after each production.

Probably not, unless you were around Middle Tennessee Normal about 1925. That year six charter members and Professor Neal Frazier of the English department formed the Research Club, which three years later was renamed Sigma Club. In its thirty-odd years Sigma has come to symbolize the ultimate honor that an M. T. S. C. man can earn.

C, are chosen for membership in Sigma. The club meets monthly and in every possible way tries to accomplish its seven impressive objectives: Breadth of view as opposed to prejudice. Sincerity as opposed to indirection. Reverence as opposed to religion. Confidence in one ' s program as opposed to fear of it. Professional spirit as opposed to an academic mien. Conservatism as opposed to radicalism. Ascendancy of the intellectual and spiritual as opposed to the ascendancy of the physical and material. Dean Clayton L. James and Dr. John G.

C. musical mountain is Pi Mu Sigma— the Alpha Chapter to be exact. The hope and aim of this honorary music fraternity is to promote diginity and high values among musicians. Furthermore, it has the intention of attracting more and better music students to the M. T. S. C. music depart- ment, which is already recognized as outstand- ing. All of the Pi Mu Sigma members are familiar to the M. T. S. C. student body due to their legion appearances at various programs. The officers for this year are John McDonald, president; Glenn Arnold, vice-president; and Ann Wiedrich, secretary-treasurer. Page 180— Organizations Front Row (L. to R.): Professor O. L.

Industrial Arts Club The Industrial Arts Club always has the most attractive and in- dustrially artistic signs announcing its meetings, and it is fitting. Some of the furniture, for example, that the Industrial Arts turn out would make any craftsman envious. The coed might take a clue from the boys who hunt home economics majors and hunt an Industrial Arts major if she really has any serious notions of a dream house in her head. The members of the Industrial Arts Club want to promote more social activity for Industrial Arts majors, and it also strives toward a better relationship between the Industrial Arts majors and the department. This must be very im- portant in a department where a hot-tempered hammerer has all the equipment to saw his opponent in half if he chooses to do so. This year Don Stuart is president; Joe Casteel, vice-president; Donald Patten, secretary; and Bill Burns, treasurer.

Circle K Club We build, the Circle K motto, typifies oil of their work. Due to its civic activities and to the fact that it is open to qualified young men from any department of the college, Circle K is one of the tvi ' o or three highest honors that a male student at M. T. S. C. can be awarded. Circle K has among its high aims to emphasize advan- tages of the American way of life; to promote leadership, fellow- ship, and scholarship; and to afford useful training in social graces and personality development. In order to attain Its goals Circle K helps in the orientation of new and transfer students, sponsors a bloodmobile periodically, and provides programs for the basket- ball games. In this memorable M. T. S. C. year, sportswise, Circle K sold Blue Raider hats for all the fans to wear to the Tangerine Bowl, and at the same time they were able to garner some profits for some of their civic projects. Dr. Robert Martin of the Economics Department sponsors the club which is led by Johnny Bentley, president; Ronny Haley, vice-president; Sam Shields, secretary; and Tommy Bratten, treasurer.

Veterans Club The subtle strength of a common bond is manifest in the Vets Club. Although most of them while in service for Uncle Sam vowed that they would never do anything to remind themselves of their stretch, the Vets Club members, never- theless, unite to preserve the incidents and memories of their associations in military service. Furthermore, they have the high purpose of consecrating their associations by a devotion to mutual helpfulness in our school and community. Com- mander Jim Dillon is aided by George Mabry, vice-com- mander; Harry McBride, treasurer; Pete Robbins, secretary; and Maurice Massey, sergeant-at-arms. Long recognized as one of the larger and more active clubs on campus, the Vets Club has a host of projects. Beginning with a homecoming float, the Vets continue throughout the year putting up road signs welcoming travelers to M. T. S. C. territory, visiting the local V. A. Hospital weekly, providing glasses for those who are unable to buy them, sponsoring the annual Talent Show (which has sent some winners to national T. V. talent shows in the past), and last but not least, holding an annual picnic.

Student National Education Association When they removed the normal and the teachers from the name of M. T. S. C, they did not entirely remove the great percentage of M. T. S. C. graduates who enter the teaching profession each year. There- fore, Student National Education Association is one of the most important clubs at the college. Its membership naturally tends to run toward upperclassmen, and especially to student teachers, which is no mystery. This year, Student National Education Association inaugurated day-time meetings for the ben- efit of the commuters. Its program is usually outstanding and professionally pertinent, striving for an understanding of the history, ethics, and program of the organized teaching profession, and coopera- tion in solving its problems on all levels from local to world. The Student National Education Associa- tion ' s smooth running organization is due to Shirley Pigg, president; Betty Webster, 1st vice-president; Carolyn Poysinger, 2nd vice-president; Molly Lynch, secretory; Virginia Geer, treasurer; Shirley Fowler, publicity chairman; Carolyn Cox, social chairman; and Jane Turrentine, historian.

Biology Club Stunt Night Is the Biology Club ' s main claim to fame. Although not so elaborate, it is roughly comparable to the U. T. Carnicus. Stunt Night at M. T. S. C. is the night when the most unlikely people blossom out in this most unusual form of informal drama. Almost always sparked by a top-notch emcee and it is most exciting and entertoining. The Biology Club usually fores well financially from Stunt Night even though it shares proceeds rather generously with the winners. This activity must be designed to accomplish one of the aims of the club, that of promoting proper social life for science students. Its other aim is to stimulate interest in scientific affairs. This year, Biology Club is led by Ronnie Newman, presi- dent; Bob McGhee, vice-president; and Judy Tillman, secretary- treasurer. Pre Law Society L.,v :- . ._ __JK?Wto ,_. ' ' -- i...

All who believe in good omens hope that other pre-professionol groups will follow the lead of the new and expanding Pre Low Club. Through visits to court and guest speakers— such as lawyers and visiting pro- fessors—the pre low group hopes to prepare themselves for law school and its strenuous requirements. Of special interest to all of them ore the facts that they learn about academic scholarships to law schools. The natural sponsor for this club is Dr. Norman L. Parks, head of the social science depart- ment, and the officers are William E. Bush, Sr., president; Stanley Rogers, vice-president; and Betty Caudill, secretary-treasurer, who, needless to say, adds interest to this club! Page 186—0 rganizations Home Economics Club Home Economics Club is the organization of one of the most independent and encompass- ing departments of M. T. S. C This is evident in the wide scope of its activities. Frenzied v ork on a homecoming float, whose theme is always related to home economics, starts the year off with a bang. Also, during the fall the club co-sponsors Farmers ' Frolic, at which a king and queen are elected. To welcome the confused freshmen the club gives them a tea. At Christmas time the Home Economics throws another party. Of course, these party dolls are aided by the fact that their deport- ment is well equipped for giving parties. The money for these celebrations is raised by serving at various teas and receptions. Later on in the year there ore winter and spring socials, the election of a Miss Home Economics, and the senior en- tertainment, which proves again that seniority has its privileges.

Art Club Newly organized this year is the M. T. S. C. Art Club. Attracting art majors and minors, this club hopes to further the development of the artistic talent of these people, and at the some time it wishes to deepen the appreciation of art on our campus and in our area. The club revitalized the former Beaux Arts con- stitution, and made a comprehensive effort to reach everyone who was interested in art for member- ship. The regular meetings include programs to stimulate interest in art, and also to encourage the expression of artistic talent. Boasting all of the more gifted campus artists, the Art Club promises to become a vital organization. The new officers for the 1959-60 year are Bobby Phillips, president; Donna Burns, vice-president; and Lynda Coruthers, secretory-treasurer. Page 188— Organizations T Club Betcha ' the Tangerine Bowl football that there isn ' t a member of this club whom you don ' t know! Limited to lettermen, this letter is to the physically inclined what a Greek letter is to the other departments of the college. The T Club has as its simple aim cleaner and better athletics at M. T. S. C. It sometimes sponsors dances in order to raise revenue, and it also is one of the prime pump-primers of school spirit. President for this year is Ralph Adams; vice-president is Frank Thomason; and William Faulk serves as secretary-treasurer. One of its gayest functions during the year is the annual picnic, which is almost on oll- doy affair.

To strike that happy medium between visibility and dry comfort, there is a scramble for second row seats Perhaps the most unusual form of entertainment on the M. T. S. C. campus, the theme of the water show is kept secret until opening night when the masterpiece of aquatic performance, superb costuming and lighting, and special effects is presented for the college community. The club, in addition to beautifying the art of swimming, also promotes water safety, which is becoming increasingly important in this area of abundant man-made lakes.

Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Club Almost any Physical Education major you know will be a member of the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Club. In this or- ganization they endeavor in every possible way to promote their profession, in both knowledge and skills, as well as to improve school spirit and increase loyalty to their own department. Officers are Troy Haydon, president; Willy Faulk, vice-president; Amelia Hinds, secretary; and Joe Windham, treasurer. Dr. Fran Riel is the faculty sponsor. The square dances that the Health, Physical Education, and Rec- reation Club put on from time to time are to raise money to send student representatives to the Southern and National Conventions of H. P. E. R. Last year at the Southern Convention, M. T. S. C. senior Dickie Hagood was elected to serve as Chairman-Elect of the Southern Association of H. P. E. R. In addition to the square- dances, a Dance Around the World program, featuring foreign dances, was presented, and may become an annual program. Women ' s Athletic Association When tomboy Betty Coed comes to college she more often than not finds herself without a charley-horse to stand on. That is, there ore no women ' s intercollegiate basketball or softball teams on which Miss M. T. S. C. con participate. Fortunately, the W. A. A. fills this void in her life. Girls who love sports can engage in almost anything from volleyball to hiking, with such things as basketball, softball, badminton, swimming, and tumbling coming in between, husky crew as president, and her cohorts are Appealing to all coeds, athletically inclined or not, is the Amazon Dance which the W. A. A. sponsors each year. Lois Patton rules over her Betty Webster, vice-president; Jean Hildreth, secretary; Sharon Turner, treasurer; Dot Hiett, publicity chairman,; and Brenda Drake, intra- mural director.

Chemistry Club if the sun fails to come up over Science Hall some morning, it won ' t be because the sun didn ' t rise, but more likely that Science Hall wasn ' t there for the sun to rise over. The blame— or rather the credit, according to most freshmen and sophomores yet in the clutches of required science— would in all probability fall to the Chemistry Club and some of its special demonstrations and projects. Witches ' brew can do strange things, it is said. All chemistry and pre-professional majors are eligible for Chemistry Club, and the club activities are intended to be a valuable supplement to the members ' regular classwork activities. Regular meetings furnish opportunity for an exchange of ideas. Although of a professional scope, the Chemistry Club offers social opportunities for those of allied interest. The 1959-1960 slate of officers are Joe Delay, president; Don Hill, vice-presi- dent; Martha Baxter, secretary-treasurer; and Dr. J. E. Wiser, sponsor. Music Educators National Conference This long handle isn ' t oil for nought; it belongs to on imporant group of people. Not only are they musicians, but they ore music educators, whose importance to the education of the total American child has been more greatly recognized of late. Any M. T. S. C. music major or minor may afFiliate himself with M. E. N. C. by registering himself through paying dues. However, M. E. N. C. is not primarily a student organization even though student members enjoy all of the privileges except voting or holding office in the parent M. E. N. C. Therefore, membership in M. E. N. C. is continuous from college into the music education profession; this is an advantage for any professional organi- zation. For its members M. E. N. C. offers opportunities for professional growth through presenting the privileges and responsibilities of music education, and through acquaint- ance with leaders in the field by means of clinics and programs. Fortunately for the Alma Mater, M. E. N. C. also ossists in school projects, such as the student body Carol Sing, which is the traditional religious service for the last Wednesday night program be- fore Christmas holidays. M. E. N. C. looks after its members by providing financial aid whenever possible. This post December a fruit cake sale was sponsored to raise such funds. Mr. Charles Hansford sponsors the M. T. S. C. chapter of M. E. N. C, of which Ben McClure is the student leader. i im- ■•i . First i-oA- L lo R. ' i Mane Horris, Secretary; Linda Davis; Norma Shelton; Jane Pyle; Wyona Jones.

C. student body, the Sacred Harp Singers would proba- bly rate as the most popular musical organization on campus. Often they are the deciding factor as to whether or not someone will attend a meeting; if the Harp Singers ore going to perform, the crowd will be noticeably larger. The Harp Singers hove performed before such audiences as the Music Teachers Notional Association in Tallahassee in 1958 and again in Memphis in 1959, and before a lobby-full of clustered girls at Christmastime, 1959. In the case of the latter group, before you become alarmed, the scene was o dormitory housemeeting program. During the entire thirteen years of the Harp Singers ' existence, they have been in demand throughout this area, and increasingly so throughout the South. Each spring they tour the state. Of course, the personnel varies each year as some graduate and new prodigies replace them, but the Sacred Harp Singers will always include the cream of the M. T. S. C. musical crop. They form a truly distinctive group, as they sing a cappella and ore seated about a table in the Sixteenth Century madrigal style. In keeping with the type of musical organization which it is, it sings only early English madrigals, sacred harp hymns, white spirituals, and Southern folk songs.

Student of the American Guild of Organists Student American Guild of Organists is a showy star in the crown of any of our campus musicians, and it has a natural monopoly on talent. The Big Ten (see how exclusive!) of our M. T. S. C. chapter worthily exemplify the American Guild of Organists motto Soli Deo Gloria, meaning solely to the glory of God. In their concentrated efforts to raise the efficiency of organists and to advance worthy religious music. Student American Guild of Organists has an exchange program with the Peabody chapter,- it stages an annual ensemble program, in which the organ is used with the other instruments; and it also enter- tains a sister musical organization, MENC, by giving a program for that group. Members perfect their skills and evaluate them by examinations which earn them certificates in their re- spective classes of membership, such as Fellow, Associate, or Choirmaster. You guessed correctly— Mrs. Margaret Wright sponsors Student American Guild of Organists, and Wyono Jones is president; Glenn Arnold, vice-president; and Jean Blair, secretory-treasurer. Page 1 94—Orgaaizations Chorus I ' ve Grown Accustomed to Your Face is one of the songs that the chorus sang at its spring concert, but it is only one of many from the chorus ' repertoire. They furnish entertainment for not only M. T. S. C. students, but for all of Middle Tennessee. Each year there is a three-day tour (free cuts!) to selected high schools in the college area. In addition to providing a pleasing program, it is hoped that some in the audiences, especially some who ore musically inclined, will be converted to attending M. T. S. C. There is also on annual concert, at which former chorus members who have graduated are invited to come for- ward and join in the finale, the Sevenfold Amen. Needless to say, this custom occupies a warm spot in hearts of all graduated chorus members. Chorus meets each Monday and Wednesdoy night from 7:00 until 8:30, and may be taken for credit or non-credit. It is fortunate that it can be taken non-credit, because chorus membership is less restricted than that of most of the musical organizations. Do not be misled, however, because just any old body can ' t be in chorus just because he wants to be. You can ' t be so ungifted, as one professor put it, that you can only tell The Star Spangled Banner from Smoke Gets in Your Eyes when everyone stands. The important thing is that the chorus is a musical organiza- tion in which students who like music and yet are not majors or minors may participate. President of chorus this year is popular Walter Anderson; vice-president is John McDonald; and secretary-treasurer is Ann Wiedrich.

C. student who is standing outside the auditorium hears the orchestra tuning up, he is all to likely to mistake this for playing and head back to the coffee shop. Luckily, enough of our classmates knov better or at least decide to chance it, and they are rewarded with a typical top-drawer performance. Both students and faculty members comprise the M. T. S. C. orchestra, and this combination may be why the orchestra con play both serious and light music equally well. Its performance of selections from The King and at the traditional Christmas concert a few years ago, for example, will never be forgotten by those who heard that concert. The concert on the evening of December 2, this school year was also memorable. Needless to say, much credit goes to Rubye Taylor Sanders, director,- and Kenneth Pace, conductor; and to their student officers, Bobby Lee, president; Glenn Arnold, vice-president; Marie Harris, secretary-treasurer, Jane Pyle, librarian; Jolane Hutchen, reporter; and Linda Davis, accompanist. Varsity Choir Mr. Music of M. T. S. C. himself, Neil Wright, directs the Varsity Choir; and this is indicative of its stature among the musical activities of the college. P. C. ' s of the Varsity Choir are the better voices of the music majors and minors. Those gifted singers rehearse many long weekend hours (and being weekend hours make them seem just that much longer until they blend into a single voice. The two projects about which all of the activity is centered ore the yearly opera and oratorio. The opera especially enjoys more popularity among the entire student body than almost any other musical pro- duction on the campus. Eager beavers cluster about the traditional black and yellow posters as soon as they ore tacked all over the campus, even though the word has already spread what opera is being given, and it has been presented on Wednesday and Thurs- day nights at 8:00 P.M. as long as this present college generation con recall. But still there will be a rustle of taffeta and a squeak of freshly-shined shoes as stragglers are ushered to their seats while the opening strains of the overture are bequn. In 1960 Samson and Delilah was presented to an anxious audience that was not disap- pointed.

Band Sporting flashy new uniforms, the M. T. S. C. marching band made its usual hit during the 1959 football season. From homecoming to Orlando, the band gave its perform- ances in high style. Both the music itself and the baton and flag-tv irling corps make up a show that no fan wonts to miss. In fact, the fine half-time shows may have cut down on the half-time concessions profits! The concert band group performs several concerts each year, the most noted of which is the Starlight Concert. It also has the privilege of a three-day tour every Spring. Mr. Joe Smith favors the marching band while Mr. Horace Beasley prefers the concert band. Officers are Bobby Lee, president; and Billy Owens, vice-president. Organizations— Page l ' ) Alumni Association This is it— the first time that the Alumni Association has ever been featured in the annual. Certainly it needs no description, but just in case, the Alumni Association is composed of all alumni who wish to be members, and it is intended to be a means of communication among graduates and a recruiting agency for high caliber, future M. T. S. C. students. This 1959-60 school year must be a year of firsts for the AA lany similarity to another organization with the same initials is purely coincidental), because it is also the first year that it has published a bulletin. Dr. Homer Pittard edits the three- times yearly bulletin, the Mid-Stater, which is sent to the 6000-plus graduates whose current addresses are in the files. Another first, too, is the honoring at the Annual Alumni Banquet of three outstanding alumni, which is to become a yearly affair. The pictures of the three alumni selected will be placed in an honor gallery in the Andrew Todd Library. Congratulations and good wishes to the newly invigorated AA. Q. M. Smith- Diploma -i3 President Emeritus Q. M. Smith was born in Buffalo, Ten- nessee, in 1893, and received his education at Bodine Academy, Ruskin College, Middle Tennessee Normal School, University of Tennessee, and George Peabody College (B.- S. 1917 and M.A. 1927). He taught and was principal at Humphreys County elementary school and served as prin- cipal of the Bradley County Central High School until his entry into the U. S. Navy in 1918. From 1920 until 1938 he was President of Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, and from 1938 until 1958 he was President of his alma mater. Middle Tennessee State College. Enrollment during his presidency grew from 550 to 1580 students, and the value of the school plant facilities from $1 million to $10 million. Among his many accomplishments was the addition of the following buildings to the M. T. S. C. campus: Alumni Memorial Gymnasium, Natatorium, Industrial Arts Building, Gas and Electric Plant, Smith Hall, Monohan Hall, Student Union Building and Nathan Bedford Forest Hall. President Emeritus Smith has retired to his farm near Murfreesboro, and he is still seen at many school functions.

In recent years. Senator Gore has travelled abroad extensively in a goodwill capacity, and he has been considered to be of presidential timber by many. All M. T. S. C. alumni, students, and friends will follow Senator Gore ' s future with as much interest as we have followed his post with pride. Frank E. Bass - ' 26 Mr. Bass was born in 1901 at Liberty, Tennessee, and he is an alumnus of Middle Tennessee State College (B.S. 1926), George Peabody College (M.A. 19321, and he has done additional grad- uate work at George Peabody College for Teachers.

Staff Photograph Midlander Made up entirely of unsuspecting volunteers, the Midlander staff is sometimes hard-put to beat its deadlines. Amidst all of the other activities going on, the Midlander has to fight tooth and noil for its rightful share of the attention at times. Nevertheless, the goal of every Midlander staff is to produce an annual that is bigger and better than any M. T. S. C. yearbook has ever been before. No staff is entirely satisfied with its final result, and it would generally like nothing better than to have the chance to do it over again. This is the reasoning behind the junior editorship policy which the Midlander tries to follow. The second in line, so to speak, to a particular editor ' s throne is groomed to take over that editorship the next year. Of course this plan doesn ' t always work, due to the vital statistics of marriage and birth rates. At any rate, the 1960 Midlander staff offers the sincere hope, bare of any apologies, that this book will always be able to make you soy, Yes, that ' s just the way it was!

S. B. President BOBBY JOE JACKSON what does it take to make a successful student body President? It takes a great many qualities, all of which our 1959-1960 A.S.B. President, Bobby Joe Jackson, possesses. Bobby, who is from Springfield, has a double major in mathe- matics and physics, which even further demon- strates his ability. If he has any fault, it is that he has spoiled M. T. S. C. by being a model President this year. We could have had no better representative to make us proud of our school. A. S. B. Vice-President BONNIE SLATTON Forty-eight hours a day is approximately how much time the office of A.S.B. Vice-President consumes. Certainly Bonnie Slatton has de- voted that much time to it! Bonnie, too, has a double major, in English and Physical education. This versatile tennis champ and beauty queen from Chattanooga has done much to make both her home town and her school proud of her. Virtually no one will forget the countless Tuesday and weekend nights when Bonnie ' s tour of duty was playing records or showing a film at the S.U.B. Page 2l8 Student Life A. S. B.

All of the upperclassmen old-timers will agree that this group of officers has been the best yet in our time. Due to their efforts, school functions, both entertain- ing and educational, have been above average. Homecoming was a decided success as were the special Fun-Nights with live bands. The budget, the bulletins, and the elections, all A.S.B. responsibilities, ran smoothly and on schedule, a feat for busy students. Bobby Jackson, Presi- dent; Bonnie Slatton, Vice-President; Judy Beeler, Secretary; Shirley Fowler, Treasurer; and Bill Allen, Attorney-General served. A. S. B. Social Committee The social calendar is the main fruit of the A.S.B. Social Committee. Whether or not any given social function can take place is decided by this group. They are in some measure accountable for the 9 to 1 dance hours which was a change from the previous year. The committee tries to set up the most enjoyable activities possible, while keeping the schedule as convenient and balanced as possible.

He is Mr. Charles Martin Murphy, and he is hard at work in a familiar pose. His metier is that of athletic director and head football coach here at Middle Tennessee State College, and, as is so con- spicuous in the series of photographs on this page, he is an intense and effervescent man-of-action in his profession. Attired in his ever present dark brown suit with matching hat, he is keenly aware of the situation out on the field. His Blue Raiders are fighting to hold their own against arch-rival Tennessee Tech. A serious survey of the progress the men in Blue and White are making, (upper photo), an attentive ear for the report given by Captain Bucky Pitts, (middle), and a shout of encouragement to the team, (bottom), are all a part of the game-time procedure which this successful director undertakes. The record speaks for itself. With a 97-won, 30-lost, and 7- tied chart over a 13-year span, Coach Murphy has established himself as a man who knows his job. But this mark, by all means, has not been solely the work of just one individual. OF DIRECTORSHIP Pictured elsewhere on this two-page spread is Murphy with his diligent assistants. These men have been highly instru- mental in the success story here at M. T. S. C. with their intelligent aid to the headman. In another picture may be seen the captain and co-captain of this past fall ' s outstanding eleven. These boys were highly regarded as true team men and inspirational leaders with their exploits on the gridiron. In still another picture, the business manager, the athletic de- partment ' s secretary, and the publicity director con be seen at work with the front office assignments in which their tasks were responsible for the ticket selling campaign, the up-to- date paying of bills, and the newspaper releases for the team. And fmally there is the deliberate planning and useful assists which came from the untiring efforts of the athletic committee, which is also pictured in this section. All in all, it adds up to the final end-result of these many individuals and their jobs— the M. T. S. C. football squad. And with such an accomplished leader in the driver ' s seat as Mr. Murphy surely is, big time small college football can preside here in the heart of Dixie and the land where the Blue Raiders ride.

OVC Crown Shared For Second Straight Year The 13th year at the helm for Coach Charles M. Bubber Murphy failed to inflict any sort of hex on his winning ways, and the Blue Raiders finished perhaps their second best season under him— second only to the 1957 squad ' s perfect 10-0 record. A year of superlatives, might well be the way to describe the 1959 outfit. Five members mode the AII-OVC team, one was named to a first team little All-America in one poll, one was named to a second team little All-America in another poll, the squad finished third in a final national small college poll, the OVC crown was attained, although in a tie, and the squad topped it all off by winning a coveted bowl gome on New Year ' s Day. On the AII-OVC team representing M. T. S. C. were Bucky Pitts, halfback; Ray Purvis, halfback; Gene Windham, fullback; Ralph Adams, tackle; and Brady Luckett, end. The two little All- Americas were Pitts, (first team), and Luckett, (second teami, the small college poll was the DPI, the crown was shared with Tennessee Tech, and the bowl triumph come over Presbyterian in the Tangerine classic at Orlando, Florida.

Fourteen seniors were on last fall ' s team and will be lost to the squad next year. These were: Pitts, Purvis, Windham, Adams, Luckett, Whit Watson, Johnny Moore, Frank Thomason, James McCarroll, Charles Lowe, Ray Bell, Hester Gibbs, Jock Corban, and Wayne Bailey. The services of these men during their coreers was invaluable, and Coach Murphy is wondering if they can be replaced with his material at hand for next year. M. T. S. C. was tremendous statistic-wise last fall. The team ' s total offense average per game was a whopping 343.9 yards to their opponent ' s mere 178.3. The first down total over the year was 175 to 92 for the opposition. So varied was the team ' s point production (16 men scored at one time or another) that they were labeled as having an octopus offense. Individually, Ray Purvis was the leading point man with 58 markers. Purvis also hod the best over-all average on rushing with 583 yards in 64 carries for a 9.1 average,- however. Gene Windham was the workhorse as he carried the mail 107 times for 551 yards and a 5.2 average. Captain Bucky Pitts was close behind in both categories, as he scored 44 points and gained 441 yards in 84 tries for a 5.3 average. In the passing depart- ment, Whit Watson completed 27 in 50 attempts for 280 yards and 2 touchdowns. Terry Bailey hit an amazing 15 targets in only 18 tries for 171 yards.

The Govs had been able to hold the Raiders scoreless in the first period, but the spell was broken soon after the be- ginning of the second quarter. In this period, the Big Blue drove 47 yards, with Whit Watson capping the drive with a quarterback sneak. On the ensuing kickoff, the Govs fumbled and the Raiders ' Nicky Lynch recovered.

Playing rather sluggish in the first half, they were down by 13 points at halftime. Pitts hod scored on the first series of downs when he went 2 yards for the TD, but the visitors had It all even again when a Watson pass was intercepted and returned 36 yards for the score. The Alabamans again capitalized on a bod Raider miscue when they took possession of a dinky punt on the Blue ' s 18 yard line. They scored in five plays, but when they tried for a two point conversion it may have cost them the game. After M. T. S. C. MX ST.

This time, it was a 1 1 yard pass that gave them a two TD mar- gin. Now it was the Big Blue ' s time to take over the scoring parade, and they did it by virtue of two big scoring drives. The first was a 72 yarder which saw Purvis go the final 14 yards to score. Next, it was a 75 yard march that was again climaxed by a 12 yard run by Purvis.

(L. to R.h Joyce Sherrill, Mary Lynn Shorpe, Moxine Smith, Carolyn Sharpe, and A MTSC WESTERN KY. Murfreesboro— It was with this game that the Raiders gained the reputation of being strictly a come-from- behind club, or more simply, the best second half team in the country. Again they were down at halftime before a homecoming throng of ol ' grads, but they were not to go away disappointed at what they sow. The ' Toppers had earned their intermis- sion edge when Pitts became trapped in the end zone and the Kentuckians alert quarterback, Denny Wedge, nailed him before he could free himself. However, the Blue and White came storming back, and took complete charge of the game. On the third play M.T.S. C.

In possession of the ball only a short time later, the Raiders sent Gene Windham through a similar hole, and he, too, was gone, 43 yards, down to the 28 where Purvis ate up the remaining distance on the next play. The Raiders breezed in from there, with three more scores made in the rout. Ray Bell, (6-yards), Windham, (1-yard), and Bell, (53-yards) finished the scoring.

MTSC EASTERN KY. 7 6 7-14 0-6 Richmond, Ky.— M.T.S.C. ran into a hard-nosed Eastern squad in their fourth game of the year, and had to battle down to the wire to maintain its unblemished record. Neither side could do much with the ball in the first half, and it was a scoreless deadlock at the intermission. However, the Maroons took the kick- off to start the second half and went 45 yards to paydirt. A two-point con- version try failed. Here the Raiders may have underwent some sort of psychological change, as they came ram- paging bock to take the ensuing kickoff and march 67 yards in 10 plays for the tying marker.

The Maroons could do nothing with the ball on the next kickoff, and they had to hand it over to the now clicking Raider machine which again drove for a score, this time going 80 yards in 17 plays. The key play came when Pitts ran 10 yards to the Inch line where Watson sneaked over on the next play. The drive was aided by a pass interference called on Eastern on the Maroon ' s 27 yard line.

OF CHATTANOOGA 0-0 Murfreesboro— Playing perhaps their finest game of the season, the Blue Raiders reached the zenith of their playing ability when they out-hit, out- maneuvered, ond out-played a good Chattanooga team for a well deserved team victory. Playing in a strong wind which sometimes played havoc with the ball, the Raiders, neverthe- less, gave a heroic performance which showed itself through the pursuit of the men in Blue and White. The visiting Mocs failed to score at any time, but came close on a few occasions. On the other hand, the Raiders wasted little time to rack up M.T. S. C. CHATT.

In the first period, the Big Blue tallied twice, thanks to the wind on one occasion and end Dean Fisher ' s hands on another. Both scores came when the Mocs ' punts were de- flected by the two aforementioned elements. The TD ' s themselves were made on a 3-yard plunge by Gene Windham, and a 6-yard pass from Watson to Fisher. From there on in, the Raiders had control most of the time, and mode two more 6-pointers on a 2-yard run by Watson, and a 10-yarder by Moore. Adams kicked two of three at- tempts for pat ' s and Terry Bailey ran over one.

MTSC MOREHEAD STATE 7 7 13-27 0-0 Morehead, Ky.— Playing in the mud and in the light of Purvis ' inspirational running, the Raiders racked up their second straight shutout by trimming the Eagles for their sixth win in as many gomes. Purvis only carried the mail thrice, but that was enough to make him the game ' s leading ground gainer as he picked up 73 yards in his brief per- JFormonce. One run was a 69-yard dash for a TD in the final quarter, and accounted for most of his v ork. The Raiders got off to a slow start, and the only score they could muster in the first half was 9 yard pass from M. T. 5. C.

Pitts climaxed the drive going over from the 4 yard line, and Adams booted the extra. Two long runs wound up the scoring in the last period. One was Purvis ' run, and the other was a 65 yarder by Moore. Adams kicked after the third score, but a run failed after the last for extra points.

Probably the main thing that kept the undermanned Lions in the gome was a razor-sharp passing attack which confused the Raider defense time and again. Com- pleting 8 of 13 passes for the game, the Lions moved the ball well for two first half scores to the Blue ' s one and led 14-6 at the intermission.

Watson ' s run for the extra was good and it was 14-14. Delayed shortly while the Lions made a 45 yard TD pass to go ahead 20-14, the Raiders scored thrice more on a 25 yard run by Purvis, a 20 yarder by Moore, and a 3 yard plunge by Puryear, plus two kicks by Adams for pats to wind up the winning margin. f)i Pirfs (MT) I Man, it ' s cold tonightl Raiders gdther around the heat bucket on the sidelines.

MTSC MURRAY STATE 20 7 22 6-55 0- Murray, Ky.— The Blue Raiders ' octopus offense showed in full force in dealing the Thoroughbreds their worst defeat in history. A different man made each of the Big Blue ' s 8 TD ' s, as Coach Murphy tried unsuc- cessfully to hold down the score with subs playing most of the last half of the game. The closest the Thorough- breds could come to the Raider goal was the 21 yard line, but they could not muster the spark to push over a score. Completely outmanned, they could only garner 5 first downs for the game. The Raider scoring began with three quick TD ' s in the first period on o 55 yard scamper by Pitts, (Adams M. T, S C.

Bailey went 10 yards for one score, and Purvis added a two point pot. Bell went 27 yards to paydirt, and Puryear added another two-pointer.

The game was another typical Raider contest as they started slow again and only managed one score in the first half. This score came after the Blue and White moved from the Bucs ' 30 to the three in only two plays, and Watson pushed the final yardage for the TD. Adams ' placement made it 7-0 at holftime.

On the next scoring jaunts, a new offensive weapon was revealed, the halfback pass. Moore threw to Lynch for several clicks off this ploy and the Raiders went for two more scores climaxed by a 1 yard plunge by Bailey, and a 23 yarder by Pitts. A run by Moore and a pass from Watson to Pitts accounted for the pats. Nicl y Lynch hauls in one of the halfback-to-end passes, a new offensive weapon reveled in this gome.

MTSC TENNESSEE TECH Murfreesboro— Playing for the OVC crown for the sec- ond straight time, and before the eyes of some 12,000 spectators, the Raiders and Eagles fought on near even terms most of the game and came away as co- champions for the second year in a row. With the aid of two Raider fumbles, the Golden Eagles went out front in the earlier port of the gome. The scores came on two runs by W. J. Shumaker, who was the best player in the game for the Eagles. The first was a 46 yard run in the first period, and the second a 4 yard plunge in the second quarter.

In the last half, the Raiders had hopes of coming from behind as they always did, but another quick score by TPI on a sneak 72 yard pass from Mason to Broyles put the Blue in the hole again. Nevertheless, the Raiders fought back and scored twice more on 40 yard run by Purvis, and another by The Ghost again, who was just as great as Shumaker in his final game for M.T.S.C. Adams was his old self with the extras. The Ghost is long gone, 40 yards for the TD, as the effective Raider blocking has put 9 of 1 1 opponents out of the play. 5- r 1 -v The Blue Raiders prepare to leave for Orlando, Florida, Greyhound bus. MTSC PRESBYTERIAN Orlando, Fla.— Before the bewildering eyes of 12,500 fans, (the largest crowd ever), and against a well- balanced Presbyterian team, the Blue Raiders galloped far and wide for a 21-12 win in the 14th annual Tange- rine Bowl classic. Called by some as the best played bowl game on the New Year ' s schedule, the Raiders almost made a rout of it in the first half, but some fancy manuvering by the Blue Hose, especially from the strong right arm of quarterback Bob Waters kept them very much in the gome. Captain Bucky Pitts started everything by going 53 yards with a 7 7 6 6 7-21 0-12 M. T. S. C.

Waters then began to throw and opened the way for two Hose TDs be- fore the Raiders could do anything. One was a 1 1 yard pass to Bobby Pate, and the other came on a 43 yarder to the same receiver, their lead whittled to 14-12, the Raiders caught fire in the lost period, and after a Hose desperation try for a first down with time running out failed, Pitts went up the middle on the second play for a 20 yard dash to paydirt.

Hart, Bob Burden, Basketeers Show Only Fair 9-14 Mark, But Personnel improving Still a long way from establishing themselves as o top-notch basketball team, the Blue Raiders were, nevertheless, improving in their caliber of ploy. Starting the season with a string of games in the friendly confines of Memorial Gymnasium, the Blue and White mystified even their closest followers by running up an early 3-0 record against David Lipscomb, 109-73, Southwestern Louisiana, 81-72, and Northwestern Louisiana, 67-64. Bob Burden, who was to become the Raiders ' main scoring threat, pumped in 43 points in the opener with Lipscomb. The two Louisiana teams which were making a tour of the OVC schools, furnished tough opposition, but the Raiders came out on top in each one. Going on the road now for a brief two-game visit in Louisiana, the Big Blue managed to split against two good teams, losing to Louisiana Tech, 63-81, but squeezing past Centenary, 67-65. Tech was headed by the controversial Jackie Moreland, who made 28 against the Raiders. The Raiders now had nearly everyone ' s attention with their sudden winning style. Burden ' s scoring for the five pre-Christmas holidays games went like this: 43, 25, 26, 10, and 24. So convincing did the Blue and White ' s record seem to be, that they were selected as favorites in the Ail-American City Tournament which was held in Owensboro, Kentucky, during the Christmas holidays. However, The Raiders felt the sting of defeat in their very first game, bowing to Southern Illinois, 69-78. But, they came right back to take the consolation tilt from Virginia Military Institute, 74-61, to finish third in this tournament for the second straight year Ralph Bryant was the big man for the Raiders in this one as he made 25 points. Coming back after the holiday lay off, the men in blue began to face the task of playing against much stronger opposition than they had been playing, the rest of the Ohio Valley Conference. Murray was the first team on the schedule for the new year, and they started things bad for the Raiders as they dealt them an 80-70 loss despite a 29 point exhibition by Burden. (To page 264) Page 262— Sports Things were evened in conference play in the next game v« hen East Tennessee visited here and suffered a 80-76 setback as Burden and Don Smith put on a blistering shooting spree that netted them 34 and 26 points respectively. However, the top scoring went to the Bucaneer ' s Tommy Chilton, who made an amazing 38 markers. Next, the Raiders stepped outside the conference for a game with Austin Peay and came away with a 71-60 triumph as Burden and Paul Holland made 22 and 16 for the winners. Returning to conference warfare again, the Raiders subdued to two straight losses, one a massacre and the other a down-to-the-wire scramble. Against Eastern Kentucky, at home in the first one, the Raiders made a fight of it for the first half, trailing only 34-35 at intermission. But a last half shooting spree by the visitors pulled the game out of reach, and they won going away, 88-69. The Maroon ' s one-two punch of Ralph Ri chardson and Carl Cole tallied 19 and 22 points respectively. In the tight second game, the Raiders were edged by Morehead ' s Eagles on their home court. Down 30-37 at the half, the Blue and White tried desperately to pull up, but only ended with a slim 82-83 defeat. Smith led both teams with his 21 point outburst. Tweety Boy Burden hooks in two of his 43 point total ogoinst Lipscomb in the season opener. Ralph Bryant attempts a short jump shot barely over the outstretched arm of on opponent. Stepping outside the OVC again, the Raiders made it two victories over Lipscomb, beating them in Nashville by a 96-78 count. Burden, down with the flu, did not participate in the gome,- however. Smith again showed his ability to take control of a game as he poured 26 markers through the hoops. Back to the OVC trials again, the Raiders lost four of their next five games, all against conference opponents. Tennessee Tech was given a fierce battle at Cookeville, before Jimmy Hagan and Company finally ended the visitor ' s gome try, 76-69. Burden, still suffering the ill effects of his cold, was only at half speed and made only 12 points. Hagan put on his usual shot making performance to garner 28 markers. The Raiders then journeyed to Richmond, Ky., where they were humiliated before the Eastern Maroons again. This time it was Cole and Tom Upchurch who did the damage as they made 22 and 24 respectively. The final score was 72-100 and the Blue and White never seemed to be in the game. Playing at home, the Raiders gained revenge for a conference loss earlier in the year when they outlasted Morehead, 89-82.

The score was 89-109, and Albert Ellison of the Hilltoppers was nearly incredible with his jump shots which netted him 26 points for the evening. Burden was the Raiders ' big gun with 25 points, fol- lowed by Smith and Ralph Bryant with 15 apiece. Murray was the next foe to hand the Raiders their fourth setback of the last five games, as they pushed by with a 78-65 win. Going outside the conference again did not alter the situation any as Austin Peay took advantage of their home court to win, 88-78. The Raiders were beginning to sufl er a severe letdown as they were to finish out the schedule without winning another game. Tennessee Tech came to Murfreesboro, and after another good first half on the part of the Raiders, they pulled the gome out of the fire, 70-64. Kentucky Wesleyan and the highly hearlded Kelly Coleman then moved in and put on a dazzling shot performance, winning the game, 92-82 as Coleman sent 29 markers through the nets. Winding up the season on the road, the Raiders lost a free scoring duel with East Tennessee, 106-123, and then journeyed to Bowling Green, Ky., for the finale with Western. This time, the ' Toppers were not held in check in the first hal f and they romped for a 109-80 win. Although this wasn ' t a very impressive year for the Raiders record- wise, they have, under the capable scrutiny of Coach Diddle and his diligent assistant. Coach William Stokes, made advancements towards a better basketball establishment here at M. T. S. C. where there have been no traditions for court playing. Continuous recruiting deep in the land of rich basketball talent, for which Kentucky is well known, has afforded the Blue Raiders the opportunity of expecting better things in the future. Of the eleven varsity members on this year ' s squad, only two will depart via graduation, they being Don Smith and Ray Hammers. And out of the nine returning varsity men, 8 will be from the Blue- grass region, including Bob Burden who finished this season with a 19.1 average Ralph Bryant, whose strong aggressiveness makes him an excellent rebounder, and Paul Holland, whose ball handling tactics could make him one of the better guards hereabouts. Up from the freshman team will come still more talent with the majority of it from the Kentucky area, plus that factor so necessary for court prosperity, namely height. It seems that with all this soon appearing in the blue and white uniforms of M. T. S. C, and the school ' s poor records of the past, showing what they show, the squad ' s status will rise with the coming years. Blue Raiders sup- porters can look forward to this assuredly.

Baby Raiders Have Fine 11-6 Season Recognized by some sources as the best freshman team to perform for rhe Blue and White, the Baby Raiders gave a good account of things to expect from the varsity when they become members in the next few years as they finished with one of the best showings of a freshman team for M. T. S. C. Led by Bennett Jent, a 6 ' 7 center from Hazard, Kentucky, who averaged close to 20 points per game, and once scored 39 against Lipscomb ' s B team, the Raiders beat such teams as: Lipscomb, Murray State, Old Hickory Independents, Austin Peay, Ball ' s Drive In, and others, while losing to teams such as Western Kentucky, Tennessee Tech, and Vanderbilt. Several of the defeats were close as the Babies fought all the way in each outing. For example, Tennessee Tech, which beat them twice, won only by six points in one tilt, and by a mere 2 in the next contest. Vandy was pushed all the way in Nashville before fmally winning by 5 markers. Other men who gave ample support to Jent ' s output and finished with double-digit averages were: Alan Bane, 6 ' 1 guard, from Tollesboro, Ky., Joe Baker, 6 ' 3 guard, from Hazard, Ky., and Dwayne Jones, 6 ' 2 guard, from Powerly, Ky. The rest of the squad with their heights and hometowns are: Jim Hart, 6 ' 4 forward, from Maysville, Ky., Phillip Jones, 6 ' 1 guard, from Shelbyville, Tennessee, Buddy Madden, 6 ' 6 center, from Hazard, Ky., Jack Henry, 6 ' 5 forward, from Hixson, Tenn., Bill Nickell, 6 ' 7 center, from Combs, Ky., Fred Oldenberg, 6 ' 10 center, from Chattanooga, Tenn., Danny Hill, 6 ' 1 guard, from Paducah, Ky., and Bill Wills, 6 ' 2 forward, from Hagerstown, Maryland. This squad was not lacking in scoring, by all means, as the point total was evenly distributed in almost every game. The Raiders finished with an overage around the 80 bracket, and had a season high for one gome at 103 against the Lipscomb Jr. Varsity. FRESHA AN RECORD M. T. S c.

I 1 j Coach Rolman warms up his infield with a little pepper game Baseball Squad Shares OVC Crown With a sudden rebirth in the power of the baseball team over the previous year ' s 7-9 overall and 2-4 conference records, the Blue Raiders surged to the top in the OVC and tied Murray State for the conference title. The squad finished with a 11-5 final record, and a 5-1 mark in conference play to establish what must be some sort of phenomenon in the way of a complete about face over the year before. Actually the real answer lies in the fact that the Raiders ac- quired several excellent players when some of the area ' s top sandlot prospects registered at the school in the fall as fresh- men. Also, the men in Blue and White were blessed with the revelation that a few boys that had played on the Far East Air Force championship team were about to enroll here upon being let out of service at nearby Sewart Air Base. Among the many bright newcomers were Dave Hall, a slugging first baseman from Greenbrier, who as a freshman hit a mere .41 1 to share the team batting title with Don Tossey; John Stan- ford, Moir Hill, and Jimmy Painter, who were the players coming out of the service; and, Ed Woodruff and Virgil King, two boys who hod been brilliant players in the Nashville prep leagues. Front row, (L. to R.): Coach Rolman, Tommy Martin, Manager, Virgil King, Conrad Curl, Ed Woodruff, John Stanford, Quinnie Harper, Tommy Page, and Clyde Dutton, Manager. Second row: Vol ' y Roddy, Kenneth Speagle, Moir Hill, Jimmy Painter, Dave Hall, Bobby Bennett, and Johnny Stallings. Third row: Jackie Reavis, Don Tassey, Charles Lowe, Ray Purvis, Gray Bailey, and Jerry Stopleton. These Roider stalwarts formed an impregnable infield. Front row, (L. to R. ' -. Hall, lb; Painter, 3b; Hill, 2b; Bennett, ss; and King, c. The Raiders ' big one-two punch from the mound. Right-hander Stanford and Lefty Jerry Stopleton won ten of the team ' s 1 1 victories. Put these with the material already on hand and the reason for the Raiders ' sudden awakening is apparent. Some of the material already on hand was Bob Bennett, who hod a .373 mace mark, Tossey, who hit .41 1, and Jerry Stopleton, whose portside delivery from the mound gave the Blue and White a one-two punch from both sides of the pitcher ' s slab along with righthander John Stanford. Stanford finished with a 7-1 record for the best pitching on the squad. Among the season wins was a home victory over Vanderbilt after a much disputed loss to them in Nashville earlier in the year. The Raiders were beaten by Murray for the only con- ference loss which counted in the standings, but since the Thoroughbreds were in turn beaten by another OVC foe, the tie was the final result. Returning for the 1960 season will be practically every regular member with the exception of King, who dropped out of school, and Hall, who quit to try his hand in the professional game under the Boston Red Sox ' s system. Thus, another excellent season is hoped for, and the acceleration of M. T. S. C. sandlot improvement is probable. Power aplenty came from these super sluggers.

C. 1959 track squad underwent a year of trials and tribula- tions, and finished the season with a 4-3 record, plus a third place finish in the TIAC and a fifth place standing in the OVC. The Raiders were strong in some respects, but lack of good material in other spots kept them from being a serious contender to the other more balanced teams. Chick Carson, who was one of the more promising hurdlers in the OVC, and the squad ' s captain, gave a good account of his ability despite being hobbled most of the year with a pulled thigh muscle. Troy Haydon, elected captain for the 1960 squad, was also one of the best in the OVC 1959 TRACK TEAM: Front row, (L. to R.), Ray Bell, Pot Gillen, Ronnie Holey, Jimmy Davis, Troy Haydon, and Baxter Robinson, Monager.

Ray l urvis, a ' 59 returnee, (in block on the rightl, and Ralph Barrett, a newcomer for the I960; season display their form for two other bright prospects, Bobo Herring and Buddy Dubois, (standing). in his speciality, the high jump, and Roy Purvis, Raider football halfback, was a bear in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Other men such as Dick Swain on the hurdles, Jim Davis as a jack- of-all-trades, and James Frost in the 440 and 880, gave support to the cause of the former men named, but a drop in ability came after these competitors and the team hod only a fair seasonal showing. Carson holds two school records in the hurdles, and one of them is even better than the existing OVC mark. He has run the 220 yard lows in 24.5 seconds which is .5 second better than the OVC time, but does not count as a conference record because it was not run in an OVC meet. His 15.2 time for the 120 yard highs is only .1 second lower than the conference establishment. Haydon high jumped 6 ' 3V ' 2 during the season, to come within 1 of the OVC mark, and this is rather remarkable for a man only 5 ' 9 in height. Purvis has been a consistent winner in the dashes, and his best times in the 100 and 220 are 9.95 and 22.3 respective- ly, not far from the conference marks. With Haydon and Purvis, along with Swain and a host of promising newcomers appearing for the 1960 season, the fortunes of the Blue Raiders can be expected to rise considerably. New men appearing on the scene with enough accomplishments in the past to make them noticeable are: Porter Maxwell, a transfer from David Lipscomb, who has run a 4:30 mile, Frank Halliburton, who won the Tennessee State decathlon while in high school at Nashville Father Ryan last year, Ralph Barrett, on above average sprinter at Madison High School, and Gene Watson, a much hearlded shot putter from DuPont High School. Dick Swain shows newcomers Tim Chomplin, (Left), and Billy Escue the proper way to clear the high hurdles in a pre-seoson warm-up. These Raider distance runners bring bright hopes for the future.

Raiders Take TIAC Golf Title; 2nd in OVC It is becoming increasingly evident with each passing season that the M. T. S. C. golf team is one of the most successful squads on the springtime agenda, and last season was surely no exception to the rule. Under the excellent tutorship of Coach E. K. Patty, who has set an inspired example with his own fame in years past, the Blue Raiders breezed through another outstanding year, climaxing it all with a second place finish in the OVC meet to Western Kentucky on their home course in Bowling Green. Earlier, the Raiders had wrapped up a fine seasonal record of 8-1-1, and took the TIAC crown at Chattanooga, Tennessee by a whopping 1 7-stroke margin with some all-round team brilliance. Paul Crownover, the much hearlded par-buster from the University of Chattanooga walked away with the low medalist honor as he was the only man able to fashion sub-par rounds. For the record, David Dixon, from Memphis, and Joel Vinson, from Old Hickory, were the most consistent players, but capable support •A as always on hand in the persons of David Doc Tant, from 1959 GOLF SQUAD: (L. to R.), David Dixon, Doc Tont, Joel Vinson, ond Doug Ho DAVID TANT ' W . JOEL VINSON DAVID DIXON Nashville East, and Doug Hall from Old Hickory. The No. 5 spot on the team which made ready in case of need for substitution was capably filled by Preacher Walters, from Tullahoma. Statistic-wise, the individual averages looked like this over the regular season, plus the TIAC: Vinson, 73.3; Dixon, 73.7; Tant, 74.0; Hall, 75.6; and Walters, 80.5. Coach Patty revealed this to be the best balanced team play of any golf squad the school has ever had up to this year. The only loss the team was dealt came at the hands of the University of the South at Sewonee in the troublesome wind and dampness, and the Raiders were also held to a 9-9 tie by this same club on Blue and White ' s home course, the Stones River Country Club. However from there on in it was a sweet victory with each remaining match, and only the second place finish to Western in the OVC prevented them from taking practically everything in sight. The outlook for the 1960 season was very bright as four of the top five return for another year on the course for the Blue Raiders. Doc Tant was the only departing senior, and his vacancy will not at all be easy to fill. However, with the other four back, the forecast can be said to be promising, and besides wasn ' t it men- tioned before that this was one of M. T. S. C. ' s more accomplished springtime sports. The records ore very evident indeed. David Dixon prepores to chip onto the green in a pre-seoson practice round. A few strokes on the practice green will help these golfers to ploy a good round. Sports— Page 27 Tennis Is Progressing; Four New Courts Added The 1959 season with the tennis squad cannot be marked a total failure despite a poor 3-8 season record. Reason for such a statement is that there are too many bright outlooks for the coming year that had their beginning last spring. For one, there ore the four brand new asphalt courts to go with the three already in use concrete areas, which help in bringing the Ohio Valley Confer- ence tournament here at the tail end of the 1960 season. For another, there ore two promising transfers which were around last year, but were declared ineligible by the NCAA rules; and, for still another factor, the Raiders may have the first female player in the history of the OVC playing for them this year. And how, one may ask, can a female help an all-male team to boost their THE 1959 TENNIS TEAM: Front row, (L- to R.), Worthy Babb, . Coach Howkins, Fred Bonny, Andre Duhomie. Second row, Whit Watson, Hester Gibbs, Max Norton, and John Waldrop. WORTHY BABB ANDRE DUHAMIE Stock-in-trade? The answer to that may well lie in the fact that Bonnie Hudgins was the entire state ' s number 2 female player in 1959. An earlier meeting among the coaches was to make the decision whether to let her play or not. Anyway, last year saw a few individuals develop into good players despite the overall team mark. Max Horten, from Oak Ridge, served as the team ' s captain, and did a commendable job in his role. Hester Gibbs, who played in his very first varsity matches, was elected for the MVP award, as was Horton also; and, Andre Duhamie, back for another season this year, was a steady and reliable performer. Other team members. Bill Harvey, Jerry Franklin, John Waldrop, Whit Watson, and Ralph Bryant all contributed to the Raiders ' cause at various times during the year. In looking forward to a better establishment in the next few years. Worthy Bobb, a transfer from Bethel College, who comes from Lenoir City, and Fred Bonny, a transfer from the University of Mississippi, and from Nashville, will add neBded experience to the squad. Both Babb and Bonny are drilled on the fundamentals of the gome, and with their addition and inspiration the team may well receive the boost so necessary to bring them up to a higher level of play. The newly-renovated courts will give the men more space to practice, and with the OVC meet here this year, the squad hopes to bring M. T. S. C. one of the better tennis seasons ever, and surely an improvement on last year ' s so-so record and 5th place finish in the OVC meet, held at Bowling Green lost year. Good team work is essential in a winning doubles combination Regular drills on the practice board improves the aim and timing. Spoils-Page 279 MEN ' S INTRAMURAL DIRECTOR, Coach Joe Block Hoyes ond student director, Troy Haydon, discuss plans for the male division. WOMEN ' S INTRAMURAL OFFICERS; (L to R.), Betty Webster; Lois Dean, president; Jean Hildreth; and Sharon Turner, plan details for the female division. Intramurals Encourage All to Participate The intramural athletic program at Middle Tennessee State College is divided separately into two divisions, and each section is under the guidance of its ovvn director and officers. Split into a male division and a female group, the men ' s direction comes from Joe Black Hayes, a member of the Blue Raiders ' football coaching staff, and the women enjoy their program under the watchful eye of Miss Buleah Davis, a member of the physical education department here. However, there are also officers of each section which come from the student body. These people work under the director, but have the main jobs of organizing the schedule of events and seeing that every- one that would like to enter the program has a chance to do so. In the male section, Jimmy Davis served as the student director for the first semester of the year, and upon his graduation, Troy Haydon took over duties for the last half. Under Davis in the fall, the program was BASKETBALL CHAMPS: Proiect Team, front rov , (L. to R.), Frank Thomoson, captain Second row, Henry Hurt, Kennet Ross, Ray Purvis, Don Pope.

Page 280-Sborts SWIMMING MEET WINNERS: (L. to R.), Mike Young, 50 yard freestyle; Ronnie Haley, reic,. team; Dick Swain, 50 yard breast-stroke and butterfly; Porter Maxwell, relay team; and Don Casey, 50 yard bock-stroke. Young, Swain, and Casey also were on winning relay teams. Volleyball was a popular sport with the gii mainly that of touch football in which several boys took part; however, during the spring semester Haydon established a varied schedule which saw two basketball teams crowned champs of two different leagues, a long list of participants in the ping-pong tournament, five winners in a swimming meet, another large field in the billiard tourna- ment, plus the planning of a wrestling contest, track and field meet, ■and a golf tournament for the latter part of the school year. Haydon, and Davis also, are to be complimented for their work in making this a fine year athletic-wise for boys not having a scholarship ■or unqualified for varsity sports competition in the sports they played in under this program. In the girl ' s division, the activity was less strenuous, and therefore more pleasant for its participants. Miss Davis, with the help of her officers, especially the program ' s president, Lois Dean, played in a less formal manner than the male division. The girls took part in such sports as basketball, badminton, and volleyball, but did not establish a league as the boys had done. The officers which worked with president, Lois Dean, were: Betty Webster, Jean Hildreth, and Sharon Turner. These girls did an excellent job in promoting their half of the intramural program, and with the guidance of Miss Davis, it was an exciting and successful year for the many girls that took part. In the years to follow, students con look forward to more of the same, ■as the program is getting bigger and better each year. Competition was keen in the men ' s ping-pong tournament, finally won by Ronnie Guess. Jean Hildreth scores a point during a close badminton match. Sporls-Page 281 i!!( !f ' mi iftf ft m m HI ' .
