Yes, twelve months have passed twenty times since our Normal Class bade good-by and separ¬ ated. Will we ever forget those happy care-free days spent together? “It is true that the heart hath its own memory, like the mind, and in it are en¬ shrined the precious keepsakes into which is wrought the giver’s loving thought, so in our hearts are kept the friendships and experiences of yore. At that time how difficult and trying we thought many of those experiences were, but distance lends enchantment to past events, and we cease to think of them as hardships, but rather as pleasant memories. I remember as if it were only yesterday, the two years from beginning to end, we spent at the Normal. It was a September day in 1918 when we arrived there. To forget that day would be impossible. Most of us were just out of high school and were very enthusiastic to begin college work, but our ardent zeal began to weaken as we, the juniors, found ourselves in new surroundings and among strangers. The dignfied seniors stood by and looked on with pity, as if to say, “Poor juniors, you need sympathy.” It seemed as if we had never been in such an entanglement of rooms before. We knew that we were supposed to go to the Dean’s office to matriculate, but where was this office? Some of us found it by seeing the multitude standing around the door, and others found it by stumbling into it. We entered very quietly and meekly. He greeted us with a broad kind smile, and patiently as our turn came, made out our blue cards; then he calmly informed us that we would find the bookkeeper’s office down the hall, two doors to the right. We thought finding this would be no trouble, and to some it was not, but to others it seemed as if their trouble was just beginning, especially was this the case of Anne Guinn, who became very much perplexed when she entered the auditorium instead of the bookkeeper’s office, thinking that she had gone exactly by the Dean’s directions, and wondering if he could not have been mistaken. She retraced her steps and found herself in the literature room. Here she saw Professor Burleson and asked if he were the bookkeeper. He came to her rescue by taking her to the long sought for office and then di¬ rected her to the President. This was only one of the many blunders of the juniors’ initiation into the Normal. At last we all found the bookkeeper and the President. Some of us en¬ tered the office one by one, others by twos and threes, but all entered with awed expressions and lack of control of the nerves. This was our first glance of the man we had heard the old students call “Uncle Sid.” He greeted us pleasantly with “good morning, young ladies.” We meekly handed him our cards—some he signed, others he sent back to the Dean. Oh, the ordeal of going over all that rambling again to have our work changed. Just as Lucille and Enna were leaving the President’s office to have an¬ other interview with the Dean, whom should they meet but Carrie Lee, who had been standing outside trying to sum up enough courage to enter. They Page Twenty-six OLD HICKORY A IRrmmiartfttre of 1019-1920—©nntfmi£ kindly told her to continue her journey into the realm of the unknown, that things weren’t as bad as they seemed. After we had our work permanently arranged, and had gone to classes a few days, we began to feel rather at home. The one class that did the most toward this was our College Rhetoric, which we always thought of as our common meeting ground. It was here we learned through stump speeches who the juniors were, where they came from, and why they came to the Nor¬ mal. At first our timidity violently fought the idea of these personal talks. But with Dean Mathes’s encouragement and his wonderful ability to sym¬ pathize, our horrors of speech-making were soon destroyed. We soon be¬ came real friends and organized our class into the Liberty Club. Our in¬ structor’s eagerness to be of service inspired us to do something worth while, as a club. The result of this ambition was the adopting of a French orphan, little Gabrielle Denot. Thus we became uncles and aunts of the same niece. Of course with a tie like this, we began to feel as if we were a large family instead of boys and girls from different parts of the state, and who never met until a few weeks before. We were very anxious to let it dawn upon our big sister, the senior class, that we were really present. Naturally our first step was to have a call meeting of the junior class and organize. We elected as our officers, Mr. Baldwin, President; Klizabeth Carroll, Vice-President; and Grace Ches- nutt, Secretary and Treasurer. Then we felt that we were a class ready for work. We entered the different societies and associations in which many ot our members were officers. Evelyn Love and Elizabeth Carroll were pres¬ ident a term each of the Pi Sigma Literary Society. Tenme Ross was pres¬ ident of the Sapphonian Literary Society ; Miss Parvm and Jewell Love were presidents of the Y. W. C. A. Our work did not end with this The repre¬ sentatives to the Blue Ridge Conference, Miss Parvm and Ethel Nicely, were selected from the junior class. The last event of our junior year was preparing to return to our homes. We packed our trunks, thinking all the while of having to part from those with whom we had been so closely and pleasantly associated All too soon our trains arrived and we were whirled swiftly away from E. 1. S. N. and Johnson City, each with a hope that we would be together the coming year. When we returned to school in September, 1919, we had a different feeling from the one we had the year before. We were full of joy and hap¬ piness. We were then dignified seniors. Our old friends and teachers greeted us very cordially and we felt as if we were coming home. It was plain to be seen that we pitied the poor juniors, who were standing forlornly around gazing at the formidable surroundings. Dean Mathes soon made them feel at home and began initiating them into the mysteries of credits, years, and blue cards, in which it takes a poor junior a whole term to be¬ come fully acclimated. We, with our one year of experience and knowledge of teachers and their wiles and ways, looked with a slight bit of scorn min¬ gled with pity upon the star-gazing juniors. We occasionally assisted one of the strayed lambs to the fold of some teacher’s sheltering wing where he might find ' comfort and instruction. Our importance was felt so strongly that one of our members, Miss Parvin (the right hand of Miss Anderson), believed it to be her duty to leave home two or three days early, in order that she might get back to the Normal in time to greet all the new students. Page Twenty-seven OLD HICKORY A jRemtmsrettre of 1919-1920—Cmitimtpft She; believed that no one but a senior was capable of doing such a wonderful act of kindness, and that no one else, not even the matron, could do this as a senior thought it should be done. T? Ik lo ° kin £ dignified and feeling important—well, I should say we did. The faculty realized this, too, and gave us the first three rows of seats in chapel, befitting our high station. The main reasons for this were that we might give courage to the speakers; that we might act as magic upon the ambitions of the remainder of the students, especially the juniors • that we might beam encouragement to the faculty; and that we harmonized with the music rendered by the school. When the flock had all entered we immediately organized the senior ckss, electing Iva Williams as President, Blanche Wood, as Vice-President Helen McLeod as Secretary, and Naomi Weeks, as Treasurer. Being verv anxious to take the responsibilities of seniors, our President called a meet¬ ing to discuss class rings, pins, and invitations. We were on the eve of sending off for samples, when it dawned upon us that we should consult Uncle Sid. Just at that time the door softly opened and “Uncle Sid” was framed in the doorway as an ancient statue. A senior must have told him our intentions, for he firmly told us in the deep voice that he keeps for such occasions, that it was customary to wait until after Christmas to order pins, rings, and invitations, also that we desist from such momentous undertak¬ ings until our wings had grown stronger and our class had increased its roll call. Of course that was a dreadful blow, but we survived. When the win¬ ter term opened it found us a robust bunch and with ambitions at the top notch, ready to order our rings, pins, and invitations. Thinking of the ambitions of the class brings back the memory of the senior boys, dhere were only four, three of whom were in service during the war. After the war they returned to school and we were very glad to welcome them into our class. All of these boys were very ambitious but it seems as though their abmitions ran in different channels. There was Ho¬ bart Graybeal, who promised to be one of Tennessee’s noted politicians. His future success was shown when he won all votes in the janitorial campaign of the Pestalozzian society. Clyde Lowery, or Romeo as we called him, was very interested in hunt¬ ing a Juliet, and seemed to spend most of his time in this pursuit. The member that the class most admired for his ability was Le Roy Hyder. He was the first to finish the three years Normal course. As I think back so many funny incidents come to my mind. A very striking one happened the first day of April or All Fools Day. The Senior class and the faculty exchanged places. This not only showed our good looks and charming personality but proved to the student body what splendid in¬ structors we would be. However the first day of April was not the only morning that we were recognized in chapel. Our president daily announced that the Senior class would meet in the Literature room at one o’clock, thus arousing, not only the curiosiy of the faculy, but of the entire student body. As the year drew to a close we satisfied their curiosity by presenting Old Hickory, the result of those numerous meetings. The interest of the senior class reached the climax during commencement, but to us this week brings back the memory of our parting. That event is one which few of us like to recall and I had rather not connect that feature with the pleasant reminiscen¬ ces of our association. I will leave it in the dim past not to be recalled.

Yet not so, when sunlight kissed it, It was made a better day. Even so it is with living, Clouds oft seem to mar the way, But when joy comes, pleasure giving, Life is made a better day. —Julia Collins. Page Forty-four OLD HICKORY Snap Shots Page Forty-five OLD HICKORY “He was a man, that old room-mate of mine; one of those brave souls to whom adversity only means greater endeavor and who can go forth into the dark with a song on his lips and a fearless heart.” The speaker was surrounded by the remnants of the class of ’95; all were gray, some were bald and not a few of the original class were gone. It was their twenty-fifth anniversary, but tales of Alma Mater never ceased to charm. The speaker continued: “It was about the middle of our Junior Year when I entered the room suddenly one day and Bob was gazing out across the campus and softly repeating the lines of Henley: ‘Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever Gods there be For my unconquerable soul “Singing the ‘Henley Blues Bobbie, I asked jocularly.” “No, John, I was just thinking. The next twelve months will be my best year.” I looked at him queerly but said no more. From that time on a change came over Bob Ingalls. He had always been jolly and popular and stood well in his studies, but now he became an untiring reformer in college activities. A goodly portion of his liberal al¬ lowance began to find its way toward helping the poorer students. The college “Y” became a more potent force for good and Bob’s fraternity began to forge ahead in scholarship attainments and athletic prowess. He was a dynamo of energy, his cheering hand and ready laugh scattered smiles all about the old campus. Only myself who saw him in the solitude of his room was revealed a growing melancholy. He appeared to be writing some play or story and one day I obtained a surreptitious glance at its heading—“The Last Year.” To the surprise of every one Bob declined the presidency of the senior class and although some of his friends seemed hurt by this he only smiled. Our senior year opened in the fall and Bobbie was there smiling, his hand ready but not as strong, his step as quick but not as firm. His cheek wore a hectic flush and he was bothered by a racking cough. I watched him anxiously but he seemed to be fading before my eyes. The end was closer than I knew. I was coming down the hall one afternoon when I heard Bob coughing horribly. I ran into his room and found him drooping weakly on his table, from where he had been watching the team in practice on the field. I picked him up but he gasped faintly: “It’s no use, John. The doctor told me twelve months ago that one more year would see me through. I have been game; my last year has been my best one.” He slipped to the floor. The speaker paused, his listeners were silent. “We buried Bob in the University Cemetery, where we hoped his life would be a guide post to those who followed. The marble shafts that surround his simple mound seem like some ever-watchful, understanding spirits who had come from some far shore to welcome the intrepid soul of Bob Ingalls. —ROSALIE BUCK ’21 Page Forty-six OLD HICKORY Soliloquy of a Jforh “Dear me,” plaintively sighed an insignificant, dingy little Ford as it crouched close up against the curbing watching a magnificent touring car. How it sparkled in the sun! What a conceited, self-satisfied air it had as the passers-by cast admiring glances at its beauty! As the little Ford caught a glimpse of itself in the shiny surface of the big car, it shrank closer to the curbing. With pants and chugs of indigna¬ tion it passionately declared that it wasn’t fair. “When I was made,” the Ford mused to itself,” they turned out dozens just like me—and nobody paid any attention to me or admired me. I was just like thousands of others, while that car was made with the greatest care, and when It was completed the entire factory force came to admire it. Then a very learned man came and painted that gilt monogram on the door. A great millionaire had bought it and a smart chauffeur drove it away. I presume it was put in a beautiful garage and is rarely ever taken out except on smooth boulevards. While he was musing, the wonderful car, noiselessly glided out, not even deigning a glance at the poor little Ford. “But when I left the factory,” bitterly continued the Ford, “what was my fate but to fall in the hands of a North Carolina drummer. Since then I haven’t known a moment’s rest. I’ve had to travel day and night; I’ve had to get up before dayl ight and travel all day; I’ve gonje, up hill and down through the valley and mountains in rain, snow or mud regardless of rheu¬ matic pains and sore foot. I’ve had to carry loads that would ruin the con¬ stitution of my fine friend. I’ve had to listen to that drummer’s oaths when I got stuck in the mud. Now my youth is over and my good looks are gone. I have asthma and can hardly climb a hill. I’ve had to listen to rough jokes about myself, no¬ body respects me, not even the news boys. “But there’s no such thing as gratitude,” it said as it saw the owner approaching with two girls. “He uses me for an ox cart in the week and a carriage on Sunday. “One of these days, it whispered to itself, I am going over a cliff and end it all.” CATHERINE CRIGGER ’22 Page Forty-seven 1AST STATE N Page Forty-eight OLD HICKORY OLD HICKORY Colors: Green pi § t ijnta Founded 1912 and White OLD HICKORY Flower: White Rose Fall Term— Motto : Quality, not Quantity Officers Winter Term— Spring Term— Pres.

It has fostered social life, encour¬ aged and developed school spirit, promoted public speaking and has been the most influential at E. T. S. N. At the beginning of the Fall Term the society, although not many in number, showed us that quality not quantity is what makes a good society. One public program was given during this term and was very good. The staff of officers of this term were an earnest lot of young men, who per¬ formed their duty in an efficient way. The Winter Term marked a new era in the society, although this term would seem to be the deadest in the year by its mere name, but not so in the Pestalozzian Literary Society. At the very opening of this term the society more than doubled its former membership. With a set of new of¬ ficers the society went to work with more determination that the society would even go beyond the record of last term. Two chapel programs were given. The first one was on School Spirit, which was very timely and right to the point, showing that the society was not only alive but full of pep. The second was a Janitorial Race, which will go down in the history of the Normal as the best ever pulled off at the Normal. Yet this is not all. Ihe society challenged the two girls’ societies to two separate debates which were very interesting. The girls won. I might say that much credit must be given to the two girls’ teams of the Sapphonian and Pi Sigma Societies, who were right there with the goods. Credit must also be given to the boys who debated, for they did splendidly. But the Pestalozzian Literary Societv is to be given the credit of creating school spirit by these friendly debates. The social which followed the, first debate showed the true Pes¬ talozzian spirit, friendship and love for their sister societies. President Graybeal is to be commended for his leadership in the society. Last but not least, the Spring Term has been an inspiration to the Pestalozzian Literary Society. New officers have been elected and great progress is expected from these energetic young men. This article, having to be handed in so early in the term, leaves out the events of the Spring Term, which will, no doubt, excell those of the other terms.

Because of this epidemic very few games were played, as a number planned for had to be cancelled at the last minute. However, the team showed that they were on the map and not afraid to play any girls’ team in the State. Elizabeth Johnston, Captain of the Team, was disqualified early in the season, much to the sorrow of the Coach and Team, with an injury to her knee joint received in practice. She was unable to come back to the Team before the season closed. The first game played was Boone’s Creek High School vs. E. T. S. N., on the Normal court. The Boone’s Creek team did not prove to be an even match for the Normal six and so were swept off their feet. Score was 17 to 3. Referees—Schuh and Harwood. The second game was played between the Bristol, Tenn., High School and our girls on the Bristol High court. To the spectators this game looked more like a foot-ball tussle than a basket-ball game, and had to be interrupted several times that both players and referee might “calm down” a little. The Normal Team held its own, however, but was defeated by the close score of 4 to 3. Referee—Reynolds. The third game was the return game with the Bristol team on the home court. The Normal Team had anticipated much for this game, and their realization was even greater than their anticipation. They went into the game with the usual Normal spirit and from the first goal made by the Nor¬ mal girls, Bristol did not have a chance. The game was strictly basket-ball and proved to all that the girls’ team was able to play ball and able to play it well. The score was 31 to 7, in our favor. Referee—Alexander. A three-day trip had been planned by Coach Schuh, to take in three of Tennessee’s leading schools, but like the game planned with Tusculum Col¬ lege the “flu” interrupted and the team was unable to go. Great plans are being made for next year’s work in basket-ball and if no unforeseen inter¬ ruptions appear, the coming year will be more successful than any before.

Practice was begun early in the season and before many weeks had passed a team was developed that was able to cope with any col¬ lege team in East Tennessee. The season opened with two practice games, after which the first real team, Washington College, was met and easily defeated by a score of 24 to 20, the game being played on the home floor. The second game was a hard fought contest against the strong Carson-Newman College Team. The vis¬ iting team was composed of “six-footers,” but as Lyle says, All big fellows are not always the loudest in basket ball.” Our boys showed the best team work of the season, winning to the tune of 20 to 30. King College defeated our boys in a close game at home by a score of 33 to 26. Bristol, Tenn., High School was next encountered on their floor and our team met defeat by the close score of 8 to 9, our team being handicapped by the loss of the best player. This team was, however, easily defeated when the game was played on our floor, the score being 39 to 14. The team had planned to take its annual trip, playing Carson-Newman College, Knoxville High School, Cleveland High School, and Chattanooga High School. The influenza made it necessary to abandon this trip, which was hoped would be a fitting climax to a successful season.

Some good material is shaping up and under the direction of Coach Reece the team expects a successful season. Two practice games with the local High School were the preliminaries to the first real game of the season, the engagement with the Bristol, Tenn., High School, the Normal ' s ancient rival. The game was played at Bristol and re¬ sulted in a decided victory for the Normal Team by the score of 12 to 2. Garner catches for the Normal this season while Cabbage and Lowery, both Southpaws, occupy the box as twirlers. Following are some more of the teams we expect to engage during the season: Tusculum College, Carson-Newman College, Washington College, Knoxville High School, and Maryville College.

Foot-Ball Although for lack of sufficient material a football team was not devel¬ oped last season, the Normal still hopes to initiate this very popular branch of high school and college athletics in the near future. Page Seventy OLD HICKORY GLrntk During last Summer Term a very interesting Track Meet was held on the Normal athletic field. This was an inter-class track meet among the students of the Normal School. Two five-dollar gold pieces were offered as first prizes and two two-and-one-half dollar gold pieces as second prizes to the boys a ' nd girls winning first and second places in all events. The events were most successfully carried out and participated in by the best athletes of the school. Field day is always looked forward to with pleasure and Coaches Reece and Schuh are already planning a good program for the coming summer. Stenwts For vet another season was “Uncle Houston” called upon to prepare the tennis courts at the earliest possible date for the many enthusiastic ten¬ nis players who were anxious to try their skill at one of the most enjoyable sports of the summer season. Four courts have been prepared and on all suitable occasions a full num¬ ber of players are to be seen taking advantage of a chance to either learn the game or to renew their power. The plans for a tennis tournament with teams from Maryville College are already being considered and if suitable arrangements can be made, two series of contests will be staged, one here and one at Maryville. Tennis is trulv a game of science and skill and great players are not made in a day, but we have a few who have been willing to go through the hard practice for two or three years and are now prepared to give almost any team a strenuous battle.

I’ve been told that it’s the land where the dreams all come true. It’s a wonderful place this land that’s so far Yet ever and ever so near. It’s always one step beyond where we are, That we never catch up seems so queer; No matter how swiftly or slowly we go We never can fill up the breach— Like the basket of gold at the end of the bow It’s always just out of reach. Some call it the land of ideals so they say, Some say that its gate is a star, But I think it’s the land where the dream children play, This far away land that’s so far. —J. E. C.

Also that special care be given to the removal of all labels be¬ fore depositing in the garbage cans.” “All audiences may be divided into two general classes, those who listen and those who do not. ‘ The latter class may be divided into three other classes : those who are too crude to listen, those who are not capable of lis¬ tening intelligently, and those who are too frivolous to listen. Will the two young ladies in the rear please give me their undivided attention?” “The young gentlemen in the rear of the room will please move forward.” “May I ask that the pens, stationery, pencils and typewriter, usually found in my office, shall be allowed to remain there?” A Lament “Uncle Sid” is my Shepherd. I shall ever fear him. He chaseth me from the halls when he is near me. He leadeth me into his office for my meanness’ sake. He taketh away all my privileges. Yea, tho’ I go to town thinking I am free, I need still to fear him. His becks and his calls they include me. Surely his form and his spirit will follow me all the days of my life and I shall shrink in his sight forever.
