V t (f June 6, 1930 THE CHALK LINE 3 Chi ' Class of 1930 College work would fain prepare us, For our tasks in life’s great field; Without such knowledge, we would falter And surely be compelled to yield. Yield ourselves unto that hard fate, Which from the down-and-out we learn That when youthful days are squandered, They will nevermore return. And though the work be long and strenuous, Upon it rests the power of Kings; It would yield a greater profit Than any lute of song that siren sings. Sings the gladest songs triumphant, Makes our lives forever blest; Gives a greater hope and comfort Than does monetary bequest. With it, we can stand as vanguards, Without which, we lag behind; Who can name the price of honor ? Who dreads not to be a hind? Honor bought with trial and error, Lowliness often drought with shame; Who could regret these years of toiling To earn himself, herself a name? Then, let us learn the lesson fully, That foundations are the gists; Some are strong, securely bedded, Others crushed beneath the mists. Crushing slowly clay by day; Shall not be felt by those whose efforts Are firmly anchored in hard clay. —E. C. C. i

June 6, 1930 THE CHALK LINE 5 CLASS HISTORY This class has seen one of the most progressive periods of the teachers college. There is a large build¬ ing program on now and the first large unit has been completed that being the new Training School. We have become a member of the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Due to the type of school this is, it is very difficult to have one group go through as an organized class. For instance; there are only eight in this senior class who have been here continously: Julia Brewer; Esther Choate; Helen HodgeS; Embree Ellison, James Hender¬ son; Margaret Robertson, Nelle Robinette; and Jose¬ phine Miller. Some have come from other colleges: Edna Coleman and Mrs. Coleman from Murfreesboro; Thelma Dingus from V. P. I.; Mary Louise Mundy from V. I. The rest of the class have been irregular. 1930 CLASS PROPHECY Hello World! This is Dr. Margatet Robertson an¬ nouncing from Station S. T. C., Johnson City; Tenn. This program comes to you through the courtesy of the J. H. Henderson and R. E. Barry Co.; the largest soap and bubble manufacturing company in the South. First on the program of dinner hour music will be a solo by Miss Josephine Miller; formerly of Johnson City; who was recently with the Redpath Chautauqua. She sings one of the old favorites, ‘‘Silver Threads Among the Gold.” This is Station S. T. C. We are certainly glad that we now have television; since we shall see the coy and cunning Coleman Sisters in a short act of mirth; melody; and music. These are true successors of the famous Dodge Sisters of 1930. The next musical number is a real treat coming to you from S. T. C., Johnson City; Tenn. Miss Embree Ellison of the Paramount Players; whom you have seen recently in the stupendous; all-talking production; “Ladies Love Brutes,” will sing the theme song, “I Just Must Have That Man.” This is Station S. T. C.; Johnson City; Tenn. The next number on the musical program is a trio com¬ posed of Miss Evelyn Howard; Miss Nelle Robinette; and Miss Helen Hodges. They will sing; “Oh How I Miss You To-night ?” Station S. T. C. broadcasting from Johnson City. This ends our program of dinner music. We hope you have enjoyed the program. Here are some telegrams. “We certainly enjoy your programs ’ signed Mary E. Wilson, Bristol; Tenn. Another one; “Your programs are wonderful ’ signed J. R. Walker; Piney Flats; Tenn.

When the gong sounds it will be ex¬ actly 8:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Now; little boys and girls of Radioland; Miss Julia Brewer of Kiddyland Kindergarten will tell us the story. “Billy Bumblebee and Greta Grasshopper.” I hope every little boy and girl has enjoyed the? story. Good-bye; sleep tight. This is Station S. T. C. broadcasting from Johnson City; Tenn. Professor Edward Stanley will now ad¬ dress us on “Why Tadpoles Become Toadfrogs.” Pro¬ fessor Stanley has been doing intensive research work in this field; and he should have something interesting and worthwhile to tell us. Now we will present Rodney McNabb; and his Scintillating Rhythm Boys in a half-hour program of dance music. The guest artist on the program will be Mr. J. Range Snodgrass from the Ziegfield Follies who will sing; “Wild Women.” Mr. McNabb will be with us each Tuesday night at 9:00 P. M.

At this hour they bring to you a playlet entitled; “Charming Sinners ’ a recent Broadway success with an all-star cast; including Helen Eva Bowman, Flora Bradshaw; Gertrude Boren; Loeta Campbell; Elmer Dunn; and Cora Shubert. This is Station S. T. C. again. Now we have the “Twinkling Trio” composed of Miss Elizabeth Jones, Maude Lyons; and Miss Willie Mae Miller. They will entertain us for the next fifteen minutes with a group of musical numbers. Station S. T. C. A special feature of our evening entertainment is brought to us by Dr. James O. Master- son of Columbia and Dr. M. L. Mundy; of Johns Hop¬ kins who will debate, “Resolved That Negroes Should Take the Kink Out of Their Hair.” We would appre¬ ciate it if you will send us your decision. Here we are again. Station S. T. C. broadcasting from Johnson City. But we are now signing off. Don’t forget to tune in on this station at 7:15 in the morning for the setting-up exercises directed by Miss Esther Choate, physical instructor at Vassar. —M. D. R. ARE WE GOOD SPORTS? Are we? That’s the question. If you were asked to find the good sports in our class, what qualities would you look for? We girls with a rather envious nature would say that Helen is a good sport, because she has a Buick and is frequently taking us for a drive. Members of the class who cooperate or go at least half way in working out themes or term papers—Rod¬ ney McNabb and Lacy Harville—are mutually agreed that it shows a high degree of sportsmanship; and there’s no doubt but that even Mr. Bible would consider the student a “good sport,” who attempted such an act in one of his classes. The girls that live in the dormitory, and Sunday after Sunday passes by without their being asked for a Sunday afternoon date, yet they do not give way to (Continued on page seven)
