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. Please stand by for station announcements. This is Station S. T. C. You will now be given the correct time by the courtesy of the Robert H. Burkhart Jewel and Watch Co. 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. This program comes to you through the courtesy of the Deakins- Dingus Dainty Delicacies Co. of Chicago; Ill. This is Station S. T. C. broadcasting from John¬ son City; Tenn.

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)

June 6, 1930 THE CHALK LINK 7 ARE WE GOOD SPORTS (Continued from page five) their feelings by sobs and tears. I’d say that they’re real sports; but to be sure, ask—oh, well just any of us. We, who attend all the assembly exercises, filling our regular assigned seats, and come out wearing a look of over-enjoyment, are certainly to be classed as sports —even as Spartans. What could be a stronger test for a real sport than to find this big-hearted classmate, who never becomes sulky, when the Dean refuses to gratifv all his desires? For instance, one day Raymond asked Dean Burleson to excuse him from his Bible class. Upon close ques¬ tioning, Raymond was forced to admit, “Well—er, Dean Burleson, you see—I think my best girl friend will be in town at that hour.” Another conception of what a good sport on our campus would be—The one who holds his “chin up” after receiving very cutting remarks from either Mr. Rogers or Miss Mathews, accompanied by a large red “F”. Looking for a good sport, one might inquire, “Is he a good leader for the senior class, or is he a highly divine character? Has he intellectual ability befitting such a dignified position, or has he the “most irresist¬ ible” wave in his auburn hair? Does he use tact, di¬ plomacy, and discretion, or does he use the most tanta¬ lizing perfume? Is he the best dressed man on the campus? Has he a vital, forceful school spirit, or has he a most heavenly coupe?” There are so many splendid examples of a good sport in our class that I cannot attempt to give them all to you, but if you have been a close observer, you will have to say that every member of our class is a good sport —characterized by a spirit of generosity, co¬ operation, un-selfishness, cheerfulness, martyrdom, in¬ dependence, pride, and dignity —perhaps. —M. E. W. SENIOR NOTES Miss Josephine Miller tells us that she is planning on a big summer—visiting in Bulls Gap, Atlanta, Ga., and Hickory, N. C. Miss Esther Choate is looking forward to a big year of teaching next year, either in Knoxville or Chat¬ tanooga. Miss Edna Coleman will begin work on her Mas¬ ters Degree at the University of Tennessee this sum¬ mer. Edward L. Stanley will continue his school work at U. T. this summer. Miss Nelle Robinette is planning a big trip to California for the summer months. Miss Thelma Dingus is undecided as to her where¬ abouts for the summer, but we have heard her mention Florida for next year. One of our seniors is about to go to the University of Chicago for further study. We wish you luck, James Otis. Rodney McNabb hasn’t had enough work with books during his college career, so he is accompanying Puckett and Nicely on their book selling expeditions this summer. We will miss Mrs. Archer down at the Training School next year, but we know she’ll get a good place to teach. Mrs. Shubert will continue her school work, teach¬ ing in the grammar school of Wartburg, Tennessee. Ross Walker is hoping to be a big Superintendent of County Schools in Hawkins County. Remember you’ve promised all of us a job, Ross. Misses Helen Hodges, Julia Brewer, and Elizabeth Jones are planning to be near their “Ole Alma Mater” next year. Miss Mary Louise Mundy will not be so far away, if she goes to Bristol to teach. Miss Una Armstrong is fortunate to be close home in her work next year. Miss Mary Wilson will be among our students who visit Washington, D. C., this summer. WHO’S WHO IN THE CLASS OF ’30 Best Cook Most Business-like Best housekeeper .
