June 2, 1933 THE CHALK LINE 31 •n - - p “Society, Clubs, and Organizations” □ , . ... . .. ■ — E Y. W. C. A. We feel that our Y. W. C. A. is doing more good on our campus than any other organization. Eain or shine the Y. W. C. A. program and ser¬ vice take place every Wednesday evening at 6:30 o ' clock, and every girl is cordially invited to be¬ come a member. We also function in a financial way by selling candy in the Y. W. C. A. store in the basement of the Administration Building. This store brings us a nice little profit, and every cent goes back to the campus. A few of the things we have bought are: Baby Grand piano, radio, kitchen outfit including hot-plates and cooking utensils, a tea urn, and silver and Chinaware for the dormi¬ tory. Also, each year we contribute $100 to the Student Loan Fund of the college. The cabinet this year has done an outstand¬ ing piece of work in directing the Y. W. C. A. on our campus. SMOKY MOUNTAIN SCIENCE CLUB The Smoky Mountain Science club came out of its long period of dormacy in the Fall quarter and elected the following officers: President—Ralph Mathes. Vice-President—LaVerne Graybeal. The purpose of this club is chiefly to promote a deep interest and genuine appreciation for the entire field of science. Some of the outstanding programs for the year were as follows: (1) A Glass Blowing exhibition given by Mr. Peter Schupt of the American Glanzstoff corpora¬ tion. (2) An address on ‘‘Cellulose given by Mr. Julius C. Funcke of the American Glanzstoff Corporation, and an odor recognition test con¬ ducted by the club president. (3) A demonstration of “The Theory and Practice of Motion Picture Projection , given by Ralph Mathes. ART CLUB It ' s not the oldest organization on the campus that always proves most beneficial! Thus says the school ' s youngest college club. The Art Club has made some outstanding contributions to the college—assumed the arrangement of the bulle¬ tin boards; secured worth while art displays and exhibits for the college; made comprehensive studies of Italian artists and their contributions. The officers elected for the next year are: President—Inez Ketron. Vice-President—Beatrice Earnest. Secretary and Treasurer—Ruth Rutledge. THE “T” CLUB WENT OVER WITH A BIG YEAR Interest was manifested from the first of the football season when it became apparent that the crop of freshmen prospects promised more than the average potentualities for promoting that type of merriment produced by initiations foot¬ ball furnished eligible new members in the forms of Wayman, Taylor, Miller, Musick, and Shull. It was decided to let those lettering in tennis also be eligible, so William Grigsby and Curtis Reed swelled the list. Basketball lacked in producing a large num¬ ber, so Graves and Shearer were forced to suffer for their own fewness. The “T Club is for those who have shown enough interest in the school to stick to some sport long enough to letter in it. It is hoped it will function increasingly better all the time. The man on whom next year ' s success or failure rests is Dean Bailey, president of the “T Club. Kilday, Chambers, and Bill Hunt earned the letter in baseball, while Spears, Oaks, Puckett, and F. Hoss won the award for tennis. SAPPHONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY We, the members of the Sapphonian Literary Society, think we have “scaled the heights this year. Our year was started off right under the able leadership of Mrs. Shaberg. Some of the most outstanding and most enjoyable heights have been as follows: Initiation days for new members in the Fall quarter, and their termination in a house party. “Pill and Capsule week—this began when each member drew a capsule containing some society member ' s name; this member was secretly well treated for the week, and the pill ' s identity was not divulged until the end of the week at a Christmas party. A Luncheon given by Pi Sigs to our society. A Sapphonian, Rose Wilson, was elected as Pi Sigma Carnival Queen. Tea dances, house parties, theater parties, and worthwhile studies at the regular meetings of famous Tennesseans and composers. Officers for the next year are: President—Hazel Anderson. Vice-President—Beulah Reece. Secretary—Katherine Gilbert. Treasurer—Betty Bristol. She came, she saw, she conquered. But I was not her foe, I came, I saw, was conquered And now I am her beau.

32 THE CHALK LINE June 2, 1933 THE PESTALOZZIAN LITERARY SOCIETY A most unusual interest in the Men’s Literary Society has existed this year, due in a great part to the enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Alexander, Mr. McMurray, and Mr. Hope, as well as to the changed manners of conducting programs. Soon after the opening of the Fall quarter new officers were elected, and the society was divided into three groups with each group having a faculty adviser. The society, in order that the reading of cur¬ rent literature might be made possible, subscribed and placed in the dormitory ten of the leading magazines and two daily papers. GLEE CLUBS MAKE PROGRESS The Glee Clubs have worked hard and have given many successful programs this year. The work of the fall quarter centered around a concert. It was presented just before Christ¬ mas to a large and appreciative audience. During the period of drill for the concert, the girls ap¬ peared in two programs, one being at Elizabeth- ton, and the other at the Soldiers Home. The boys gave a program at High School and Junior High School of Johnson City. In the winter concentration was placed on an oratoria. ' The Crucifixion” was given to bene¬ fit the Health Unit of the Community Chest Fund. This event was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Johnson City. An operetta Maid in Japan” was presented May 19, this climaxing the work for the spring quarter. Many students have shown outstanding ability. Those receiving the Silver Award were: Lois Atchley, Beatrice Earnest, Alyne Smelcer, Jake Seaton, Earl Sams, Eleanor Lucas, Wilma Dean Sherrod, Gustave Von Hoffe, Henry Way- caster, Juanita Graves, and Francis Everette. Those receiving a Gold Award were: Dean Bailey, Kegley Graves, Josephine Davidson, Isa Lee Sherrod, Joe Worley, Evangeline Walker, Vir¬ ginia McCorkle, Josephine Divine, Frank Hoss, and Curtis Reed. R. F. K. P. This is one organization of the Royal Force of Kitchen Police, and is composed of those en¬ ergetic souls who convert their energies to ser¬ vice to the Cafeteria. Each quarter Mrs. Hodges, the Cafeteria manager, takes this Royal Force on a picnic or party, and judging from all appearances it is one of the most popular, most active, and most highly hilarious groups on the campus. Lois Atchley: Do you love me still?” Bill Hunt: I might if you’d stay still long enough.” PI SIGMA CALENDAR Sept. 27, ’33—Registration. Pi Sigs use keen eye to detect new members.
