It has been our purpose to give in pictures and words a complete story of campus life: our classes—our fun—our friends—our teachers— our organizations—our joys—our accomplish¬ ments. 1950 has been an outstanding year at State College. We were greeted by a new president; the student hody has heen the largest in history; new buildings were begun and old ones im¬ proved. It is our desire that this 1950 yearbook be received with your same enthusiasm.

Dossett President A friendly man, with a sincere interest in public education; a scholar, yet with the common touch, which endears him to all; the possessor of a personality that could be desired by any student; are all phrases that might he used to describe our new President. Mr. Dossett is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and of Harvard University, a veteran of World War I and a former state commander of the American Legion. He has served as a teacher, principal, superintendent and as State Commissioner of Education. We know that we are most fortunate to have a leader, who is so capable. John A.

Sherrod President Emeritus OUR INSTRUCTORS East Tennessee State College was established by the act of the General Assembly in 1909. As an insti¬ tution of higher learning, it recognizes two funda¬ mental responsibilities in its service to the State. The first responsibility is that of preparing teachers for the public schools of the State; the second is that of giving general, pre-professional, and vocational education on a college level to those students who do not wish to enter teaching. East Tennessee State College is located on one- hundred seventy-seven acres of land at the foot of the high mountains of the Appalachian system. The campus is so located that it offers opportunity for artistic landscape gardening, and it has a woodland which is being developed into an arboretum. There are many modern and well equipped classrooms and dormitories to meet the needs of the students. East Tennessee State College has high standards, and it is accredited by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

Its purpose is to supervise fraternity activities and promote co¬ operation between the organizations for the best interests of the school and students. Membership in this organization is made up of the Presidents of the various fraternities and one representative from each fraternity. PAN HELLENIC LEAGUE The Pan-Hellenic Council is the governing body of the sororities and is composed of three represen¬ tatives from each sorority. The council elects their officers for the year and meet on call with the Dean of Women. The annual formal Christmas Dance for the student body is sponsored by the council. A campus-wide Manners Clinic proved to be a big success this year. Sorority initiation is under the guidance of the Council and a week of hilarious en¬ tertainment takes place. Pan-Hellenic often com¬ bines pleasure with business by having a Dutch Supper and meeting down town. Through these meetings the four sororities work together for a better social life on our campus. OFFICERS President: Becky Moore Vice-President: Martha Fain Secretary-Treasurer: Carolyn O’Dell Left to right: George Blackburn, Glenn Barker, Sara Agnes Williams, Dr. Stout, Helen Yates, Laura Janes, Dean Ross, Martha Blackburn, James Walters. CENTRAL RELIGIOUS The Central Religious Council plans and directs all religious activities concerning the Student Body. This Council is composed of the Presidents and two representatives from each of the religious organiza¬ tions on the campus. The Council’s largest activity is Religious Empha¬ sis Week, held the first week in October. Our guest speaker this year was Reverend Palmer Young from the First Christian Church of Kingsport, Tennessee. Reverend Young conducted services in assembly, seminars, noon-day devotionals and dormitory bull sessions. Thus we have continued throughout the past year, leaving in our wake many duties performed and treasured memories gained. We look onward and upward with God as our guide, striving to fulfill our purpose in our everyday life. The Central Religious Council officers are: Presi¬ dent Helen Yates; Vice-President, Martha Blackburn; Secretary, Laura Janes; and Treasurer, Sara Agnes Williams. CHRISTIAN WORKERS FELLOWSHIP The Christian Workers Fellowship consists of those students who are interested in Christian vocations. They wish to create within the student body a better Christian fellowship. Among their many activities are conducting devo¬ tionals, supervising club work, forming choirs, plan¬ ning socials and other church work. These activities help the students in preparing for their life work, whether it be in the foreign or home mission field. The officers of the Christian Workers Fellowship are: President, James Walters; Vice-President, Martha Blackburn; Secretary, Helen Yates; and Treasurer, Lavetta Carpenter.

Second row: Leon Moore, James MIRACLE BOOK CLUB The Miracle Book Club, an organization of inter¬ denominations, serves as the melting pot for all re¬ ligious beliefs and differences. The purpose of this club is to promote Bible study and create within the religious organizations a better understanding of each other. A different pastor from the local churches is the guest speaker every Tuesday night. His topic may vary from Paul’s Journeys to The Creation Story. Christian Fellowship is pro¬ moted by the annual spring outing. The Miracle Book Club officers are as follows: President, Sarah Agnes Williams; Vice-President, George Blackburn; Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Yates; Reporter, Pauline Martin. WESTMINISTER FELLOWSHIP The Westminister Fellowship is an organization of all Presbyterians on the campus. Its purpose is to strengthen and to sustain Christian students in their faith and to present an opportunity for Presbyterians to cultivate friendship and social life on a Christian level. This work of combining a student’s spiritual life with his everyday campus activities is done through three basic channels: Worship—by attending church regularly; Service— by helping other organizations with their work; Fellowship—by attending socials. gpH ■ . ?? WESLEY FOUNDATION Prayer, participation and purpose highlighted the activities planned hy Wesley Foundation. Prayer, felt by all Methodist students, is one of the needs of a faithful religious organization. Participation was fulfilled when Jack read “The Hall of Heroes” for the regular Wednesday night meeting and Jane accepted the responsibility of plan¬ ning the annual Sweetheart Banquet. The purpose of Wesley Foundation is to provide for the spiritual, moral and social needs of students and to strengthen its members in Christian living and ideals. BAPTIST STUDENT UNION Faith, friendship and fun are the characteristics which help make the Baptist Student Union active. Faith is the spirit which prevails when the students gather for their Wednesday night meetings. Whether it be the dramatic presentation of “The Well Is Deep” or a panel discussion on “The Baptist Student,” there is felt within this group the common bond of unity. Friendship is seen in a friendly “hello” or in the “Baptist Buc.” Fun is had by all who attend the B. S. U. socials. The people mainly responsible for this faith, fun and friendship are the B. S. U. officers. They plan meetings and recreational activities. ■ ■ ■ COOPER HALL Cooper Hall is a residence hall for upper class girls, housing about fifty people. In 1944 Governor Prentice Cooper, acting for the State, purchased for the college the George L. Carter residence and approxi¬ mately twenty acres of land adjoining the campus. The palatial resi¬ dence has heen an attraction to visitors since its erection several years ago. This amphitheater is on the campus in front of Carter Hall. It is used principally as an outdoor theater, especially for the enactment of classical plays. ADMINISTRAT OH BUILD NO In the Administration Building are the offices of the President, Dean, Registrar, Business Manager and the Dean of Women; the post office and bookstore; recitation rooms and the auditorium. The President’s home will soon include a recreation room in the base¬ ment for the use of all the students. SCIENCE BUILDING The new Science Building houses the Departments of Biology, Chem¬ istry, Physics, Home Economics, Health and Geography. Completed in 1948, the building arrangement and equipment is superb. A HIGHIGHT Of THE YEAR One of the highlights of the year on the State campus occurred during the week of the State-Milligan football game. Pictured here is one of the victims who is paying the price for being captured by having his head shaved. Furthermore this victim was entertained rather strenu¬ ously in Carter Hall. It was all in fun hut a most attractive feature of school life during the year. 1 Hcufe Jlwe PART THREE 71 The Business Staff YEARBOOK The 1950 Buccaneer staff has undertaken to present a volume that portrays the story of the year at East Tennessee State College.

Since that time it has been known as THE BLUE AND GOLD, THE NORMAL NEWS, THE CHALKLINE, and since 1940, THE COLLEGIAN. THE COLLEGIAN is published bi-monthly by an all-student staff working with a faculty consultant and financed by the Stu¬ dent Activity Fund. Editor and Business Manager are elected by the staff. The 1949-50 COLLEGIAN was under the super¬ vision of Louise Bryan, Editor; Noah Johnson, Business Man¬ ager; Audrey Houchens, Associate Editor; Louise Gilbreath, Associate Business Manager, and Solon Gentry, Faculty Advisor.

Realizing ours to be a complex and often inconsistent family of nations, this group aspires to a closer understanding of the various nations—their customs, races, philosphies, languages and economies. These they correlate to the policies and political temperments of an ever-changing inter¬ national scene. Its officers are: Bobbie Ruth Hodges, President; Ruth Yoakley, Vice-President; Noah Johnson, Sec¬ retary; Mary Jane Flora, Treasurer; Helen Lyle, Program Chairman; and Professor Sawyer, Sponsor. 75 ETSC BAND The State College Band had a busy year. The march¬ ing band presented half time shows for all home foot¬ ball games, and for games at Bristol and Maryville. In addition, pep meetings, parades, and a chapel concert hightlighted the autumn season. Winter weather and concert season are synonymous to most bands. Ours was no exception as Von Flowtow, Grieg, Gould, Ellington, Grainger, Tchaikowsky, and the old march masters received a thorough going-over in sectional drills and full band sessions. This prepared us to play concerts for high schools in this area during the spring quarter. The six instrumental quartettes from the band presented numerous programs for clubs and schools throughout the year. Material progress such as new quarters, equipment and uniforms added glitter to the 1950 Band. 76 The drum majorettes are Frances Hale, Nancy Rutli Winters, Virginia Lineberry, Betty Bell, Helen Tolliver, and Jackie Simmons. The action photo indicates part of the band getting hot for Milligan. Jackie Simmons 77 GLEE CLUB The East Tennessee State College Glee Club con¬ sists of approximately 150 students, and although it is a one hour credit course, it functions as an or¬ ganization.

The Glee Club participates in many programs throughout the year. During the fall quarter its pre¬ sentation of the Christmas section of Handel’s The Messiah , is something to look forward to from year to year. In the winter quarter the one big event is All-College Night; in the spring quarter attention turns to May Day events and an annual Sunday afternoon concert. Under the direction of Mr. Virgil Self the Glee Club is organized primarily for the enjoyment and recrea¬ tion of the singer.

During the spring quarter the choir makes trips to the neighbor¬ ing high schools to present Assembly programs. Membership in the organization is strictly by in¬ vitation and for this reason it is quite an honor to be one of the few selected. FOOTUGHT PLAYERS The Footlight Players is an organization for stu¬ dents who are interested in dramatics. This club, then called The Thealian Society, was organized in 1941 for the purpose of creating an appreciation of dramatics and developing the dramatic abilities of all members. The first play presented by the group was “The Solution” and since that time the Footlight Players have presented at least two long plays and several one-act plays each year. During the winter quarter of 1950 The Footlight Players gave us “Show-Off,” with Mrs. Hunt Archer, sponsor of the club, as director.

THE BUCCANEERS STATE 19 — TENNESSEE WESLEYAN 6 September 24 The Buccaneers opened their 1949 schedule with a 19-6 vic¬ tory over Tennessee Wesleyan. Jack Vest, Paul Musselman, and Clyde Holsclaw provided the offensive thrusts in turning back the “Bulldogs.” The “Bulldogs” mustered enough strength in the second half to push over their loan touchdown. The game ended in a decisive victory for the Bucs. STATE 20 — ERSKINE 13 October 1 Gene Quarles stood out for the Bucs with his brilliant scoring plays and the way in which he seemed to stay one play ahead of the “Flying Fleet” of Erskine. Burleigh Davis showed the Fleet how to rack up yardage with his hard driving line- plunging. STATE 0 — WESTERN CAROLINA 14 October 8 The Bucs entertained the highly potent Catamounts of West¬ ern Carolina in their annual home-coming game before 8,000 fans, the largest home-coming crowd in the history of E.T.S.C. The Catamounts turned the Bucs back to the tune of 14-0 and only the superb play of the strong State forward wall, sparked by Hank Johnson and Kenneth Bryan held the Catamounts in check. STATE 19 — MARYVILLE 20 October 15 After the Scotties had completely dominated the first half by scoring 20 points, State came back in the second half with Vest filling the air with bullet-like passes, connecting for long gains. Williams and McCurry each caught Vest-tossed passes for T.D.’s. France skirted end for the third tally. STATE 13 — CARSON NEWMAN 12 October 22 The Bucs broke back into the win column by handing the “Fighting Eagles” of C-N College a 13-12 defeat. Both of State’s touchdowns came from passes, the first on a pass from Vest to Co-Captain Howard Duncan. Gene Quarles, ably as¬ sisted by backs Johnny Puckett and Olin Clark, ran and passed the ball to the C-N 10 yard line where he passed to John Pansock for the final score for State. Rod Pope converted for the winning point. STATE 0 — MIDDLE TENN. STATE 30 October 29 The Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee State turned back the Bucs by a score of 30-0. The game was controlled through¬ out by the Raiders who played brilliant ball both on defense and offense. STATE 7 — EMORY-HENRY 34 November 5 Emory took advantage of several injuries suffered by the Bucs in the first period and dominated the first half of the game by racking up 34 points. Bogging down somewhat on the ground, State took to the air for its lone score. Vest, who was again outstanding with his passing accuracy, was instru¬ mental in the score. Olin Clark and John Puckett ran the ball up to Emory’s 10 where Vest fired a quick pass to Pan¬ sock for the score. Rod Pope kicked the extra point. STATE 19 — TUSCULUM 0 November 12 Passing of Vest and hard running of Davis was instrumental in the defeat of Tusculum. Davis scored the first T. D. while the other two scored from passes by Vest to Musselman and Miller. Others outstanding for State were Duncan and Tran- barger. STATE 28 — MILLIGAN 0 November 19 The Bucs further diminished the supply of wild game in this area by slaughtering a herd of not so wild Milligan Buffaloes at Memorial Stadium. The scoring parade was led by Burleigh Davis, Paul Mussel- j man, Jack France and Jack Vest. Rod Pope converted all four extra points for State.

The fact that speedball so closely resembles football must be one of the main reasons that we had so many girls participating this year. Nothing at State College depends so much on the weather and the seasons as the Intra-Mural program, hut regardless of the elements there are always aetivi- tis for all. The sports offered are basketball, volley- ball, tennis, ping pong, bowling, archery, horseshoes, hiking, softball, badminton, and speedball. Through participation in these activities the girls work toward the TS and Honor T sweater awards. lp|S The Home Economics Club officers are, left to right , seated: Mrs. Earnest, sponsor; Mary Nave, president; Pansy Barry, vice-president; Miss Eatherly, sponsor.

It was quite a year. That same year in Burlington, North Carolina, workmen were clearing a nearby cornfield to build a small textile mill. Some local businessmen were risking their money in a bedspread manufacturing venture. That was the beginning of Burlington Mills, a company destined to play a leading role in the rise of man-made yarn from obscurity to a place of major importance in textiles. During the past 25 years Burlington Mills has grown from one small mill at Burlington into one of the world ' s largest producers of rayon fabrics. It now has 74 plants in six states and four foreign countries employing over 27,000 people. Teamwork between management and skilled, loyal em¬ ployees made Burlington Mills a textile leader. Teamwork also produced the highest quality textile products at the lowest possible cost. This successful formula was possible because American free enterprise permitted constant improvements in mate¬ rials and machinery, development of our human resources, better methods of production, and an incentive for progress and growth. The formula brought better quality fabrics to the consumer. It brought better jobs, higher pay, increased benefits, and excellent working conditions to employees. And so, 25 years after, Burlington Mills wears a badge of success. Its multitude of products are truly Woven Into the Life of America . Sales Offices . New York, N. Y.
