What tales it would tell could it but speak, this old college hall which has served young men and women for sixty-eight years. Within its walls there have been millions of problem solved in mathmatics. It has heard many d;scussions of matters religious and secular. In the literary society halls on third floor young collegians have read, discussed, orated and debated on many, many occasions, and on as many subjects. On the second floor students have spent many a weary hour typing, the click of the keys accompanied by the nerve racking tunes ground out of victrola records. Perhaps the most memorable feature of the Old College Hall is the bell on the roof of the porch. Countless are the times the brazen tongue of the old bell has persuaded stu- dents to go to classes; and how glad they have always been when it rang at the end of the school day. Perhaps it is old-fashioned, but we like it just the same. Say the Wesley- anites, Long may it ring. No one who has ever been to Wesleyan can forget the Old College Hall with its ivy covered wall, its worn tteps, its initial carved desks, and its big iron bell. CS . 3-?,- SS ct f DKAN IM. F. STUBBS, Ph. D. One could hardly say a finer thing of a man than this: He is a true friend. For real friends are rare and friendship with one of these is a priceless thing. Such a friend we have found in our teacher, adviser, and dean. One who is willing to help to straighten out troubles, listen to di ITiculties, having always the understanding heart. — A true comrade. It is to him, with love and appreciation of his genuine interest and friendship, we dedicate this edition of the Nocatula. v - , ' THE SENIORS TO THE FACULTY When men make a success in life there is always a reason — several reasons. Everyone immediately thinks of the successful man, courage, grit, determination, these things have made him what he is. But there is always a force behind such a person, — a force that, however unconsciously, was the beginning of the inspiration toward a bigger life. Few people recognize it; often the man himself does not. But somewhere back there in his beginning someone has given him a tiny thought that led to a bigger idea, a bit of courage when it was most needed, a subtle suggestion that may have led to a powerful plan, — these things and others that wielded an influence in shaping the path of a life. We little understand it now, but in after years when we are each filling our niche in some corner of life, thi.= is precisely the sort of thing we will be thanking our faculty for. Tracing it back through the years we will find that here on this campus, we found the in- centive toward success. We cannot realize now the loss we will sustain in losing daily contact with these men and women. Neither can we tell them in our small way how much we appreciate them. But we take this opportunity of expressing a very real and deep gratitude for the unfailing sympathy, interest, and friendship that have made college a little happier place than it otherwise would have been. .EMIOR; 1 Blair Allen.

Each new thought a song in the brain, Each new friend a tint to the soul. Dreams, ideas, plans — all threads in a design. Each thread one by itself. But changing, by its closeness, the shade Of the one next to ti. Changing ever the form of the whole, The color of the parts. But the whole as yet An unfinished pattern here. Rather stretching away into a new form Called life itself. God — give us grace Each to te a thread fashioning a great design Into strength — into beauty. — Kay Carpenter.

Looking upward we see upon the summit our friends of the past year, the Seniors. They have been successful in scaling the heights and now they have reached the top. We have cherished their friendship and we wish for them the finest and best that life has to offer. Then looking back down the hill, we see all the events of the past year. First days at college — shall we ever forget them? — days when we were agonizingly verdant, days when we frequently got lost and had to ask some of those disnifled peisonages. the members of the Senior Class, where this classroom or that classroom was. Then after a few minor mishaps, we were well on cur way. and climbing was easy until we reached the first rugged point — exams. It was steep climbing but most of us got over the rough places un- hurt. Not all of our climb has been hard, however. There have been pleasant stops along the way— parties, our chapel programs of s=ngs. stunts, and dances, the Junior-Senior banquet, the Pan-Hellenic banquet and — oh, there was plenty of fun. So hei-e we are. half way to the top. Next year we will finish cur climb. And we hope that when we, the Juniors of 1932. stand where the Seniors of this year now stand, we may have attained not only the high standards they have set, but that we may have lifted these standards to a higher plane. rv.T E N N K S S E E W E S L E Y A N IMJ ATHENS, TENNESSE E JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President .- Welton Gregory Vice President __ Martha Martin Secretary _. Rachel Ketron THE WESLEYAN BROTHERHOOD The Wesleyan Brotherhood is the oldest student organization on the campus. It is composed of the young men who are looking forward to the Christian ministry as their life ' s vacation. The work and influence of this organization on individual lives and the general campus atmosphere have been greater and more extensive than that of any other body throughout the years of its existence. This is yet true; and we, the present members of the Brotherhood, are endeavoring to be faithful torch bearers and in our span of life at Wesleyan, to maintain, improve, and perpetuate the work and influence of this organ- ization. After having worked and studied together this year we have greater hope and in- spiration for our tasks of next year, with a determination to reach higher levels of accom- plishment and to continue to propagate the ideals of our Master who instituted our mot- to — Service and Brotherhood. SERVICE CLUB Clubs and clubs are organized on the campus for various reasons and to serve many needs. The Service Club was organized to serve as a spiritual fellowship group for those girls who have decided to enter some type of definite Christian service. The group has been small since its beginning, but we feel that there has been unity and strength in our smallness. Experiences of joy, happiness, sorrow, and tadness have been shared, and each of us is bigger by having joined together in this task of striving to hold the ■ ' limitless life out to others. So long as we love we serve. And no man is useless while He has a friend . — Stevenson STUDENT COUNCIL President Mac Ray Vice President Blair Allen Secretary - Mariette Myers Junior Representatives Abie Cooper Nell Finnell ClifEord Merrill Senior Representatives Howard McDaniels Jessie Cook Mariette Myers Elbert Willson Higli School Representative Ilene Brewer Harold Gastman Editor Nocatula TENNESSEE WESLEYAN BULLDOGS The football team of Tennessee Wesleyan has run up an enviable record for this year, playing a large amount of their games with Senior Colleges. In spite of this handicap they have done wood work and we are proud of them. It is too bad that some of our star players are leaving us this spring, but with the material left in the junior class, we are sure to have an equally fine team next year. Among those leaving is Captain McDaniels. His place is to be filled this fall by Johnny Campbell. Here ' s hoping for another graat year for the Bulldogs.

They, like the foot- ball squad have a fine record for the year. Although they failed to win the conference championship, they placed one man on the all-conference team, and that man was For- rest Kendell. Ail the boys made a good showing. We are handicapped by being a two year school, inasmuch as the boys can play only two years together, where in a four year school they play longer, know their coach better, and work together better. We have no complaint to make on the boys working together here, however, for that is one thing they do and do well. We are losing some of the basketball squad this spring also, but we are sure that under the leadership of Kendell next year they will again turn out a s mooth playing, hard fighting bunch of players. 21096 PHILO-KNIGHTO Knightonian President Fall Term Voncille Jackson President Winter and Spring Term ...Ruth Peacock Spenser Miss Jessie Johnson Philomathean President Fall Term Jim Franks President Winter Term Coy Atwell President Spring Term Robert Thomas MERNER = PFEIFFER LIBRARY TEl f ESSEE WESLEYAN COLLEGE ATHENS, TENNESSEE ATHENIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Fall Term President Roy Lynch Vice-President Fred Puett Secretary Harold Gastman Winter Term President Fred Puett Vice-President Morris Libov Secretary Robert Abernatliy Spring Term President Fred Puett Vice President Morris Libov Secretary Robert Abernathy SAPPHONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Fall Term President Elizabeth Garrett Vice President Blair Allen Secretary .

Although de- prived of a room of their own and handi- capped m this re- spect t:-.c girls built a stronger and firmer program every year. The club was first based on schalorship but later became more social in aspect. In 1929-30 the club with other Greek let- ter clubs of the campus organized a Pan-Hellenic Union, in this same year Gamma Gamma be- came the sister of the Phi Pi Delta Fraternity. HISTORY OF GAMMA GAMMA On February 23. 1923 Gamma Gamma united her efforts with Sigma Iota Chi becoming Beta Iota Chapter of this sorority. There were twelve charter members. Sigma Iota Chi has a dual purpose, self -develop .r.ent of her members and the working cut of a project each year for the betterment of Wesleyan. THE PHI PI DELTA The Phi Pi Delta fraternity, the oldest Greek letter organization on the campus, has been represented by its members in practically every activity for men. ?Tany of Wesleyan ' s best athletes, student officers. and leaders in dramatics and mus ' c have been Phi Pi Delta members. Here are some of tliis year ' s Phi Pi Delta members who are prominent in the student life on the campus: Frd Puett, President of the Senior Class. Winner of the Bayless Prize Debate, Business Manager cf the Nccatula, letterman in football, and a leader in the literary activities on the campus, is President of the Phi Pi Delta frate-nity. Mack Ray, a staunch Phi Pi Del- ta, President of the Student Body. Har- cld Gastman. one of the new members is Editor-in-chief of the Nccatula. Next year many of the import- ant officers will be Phi Pi Delta mem- bers. Johnnie Camp- bell is the new foot- ball captain, and we believe that he will be the best yet. Drarman Elliott is the new Editcr-in- chif of the Nocatula. A. B. Cooper is the new President of the Pan-Hellenic Un on Memer-Pfeiffer Library Tennessee Wesleyan Collie Athens, Tennessee Sez Us— Mariette : Wasn ' t that a keen banquet and initiation we iiaa at the first of tlie year?

Justine: It ' s a good thing for me that there is only one initiation. Margaret: Say! Who ever would have thought this bunch could ever be serious at a business nie:ting? Sorority: We can hardly wait until ne.xt year to get together again in the same old way for the same eld reason— WE ' RE PALS. FI fTI Li MBDAS The Pi Nu Lamb- da Sorority has fin- ished another suc- cessful year, with a membership of six at the beginning of the year, and nine added during the last two terms. Officers are: Ruth Peacock, pres.; Jessie Cook, vice pres.; Margaret D r o z d, t,ecretary and treas- urer. Other mem - bers are: Cecile Cox. Elizabeth Gai ' rett, Eilene Brewer, Gona Dcrsey. Wanda Ca- ton, Ai ' a Knox, Eve- lyn Edwards, Helen E ' law, Juanita Crow- dcr, Zenia England, and Eve Russeil. RAH! RAH! RAH! Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! for the Alpha Gam- mas! They are still eternally and ever- lastingly at it. Some may asK, at what? We are at everything. And. as a result, we have enjoyed a very prosperous year. Through the efficient work of our Presi- dent. Miss Jackson, eight members were pledged at the first of the year. Our acts may go on be- hind the curtain and the rule of secrecy may be observed, but still, you feel our in- fluence and hear our words. As for the social side of life, we have not neglect id that. The Alpha Gammas and their brother fra- ternity, the HIT ' S, have held several parties and other social activities together. And believe it or not. we are really serious at tim es. We have been having our regular weekly meetings, and som of these have bordered on the line of serious .less. In these meetings we have discussed some in- dividual problems. Very interesting programs of an entertaining nature have been featured. We wish each and every student on the Campus a pleasant vacation. ETA IOTA TAU The Eta Iota Tau fraternity was organized in 192 9 by Neal Ensminger. of Athens. Term., and Earl Henry of Copperhill, Tenn., with the assistance and direction of Dean W. E. Miller. The fraternity has been steadily growing in size and influence. However, it has not been aloof from the general rise and fall of the tide of interest and accomplishment which alwa . ' s accompanies progress. The Greek letters Eta Iota Tau stand for the English letters. H. I. T.. respectively, hence we call ourselves HITS and glory in the title. We have as our mot- to: Hit! don ' t fan! and as we look about us to see what places of honor on our campus are held by HITS we realize that they not only claim the motto, but are living it also. We stand for scholarship, sports- manship, manliness and wholesome living because we know we have to possess these qualities before we can live up to our motto: Hit! don ' t fan!
