Louisville, Kentucky The MILESTONE 8 A 192,5 yj Published by the Senior College of the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and Teachers College RICHMOND, KENTUCKY .EM, M5G 3n jdemortam At nine o ' clock on the evening of March seventeenth, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight the Commonwealth of Kentucky lost one of its greatest educators, Thomas Jackson Coates, President of Eastern Teachers College. It is with pro- found regret that we realize he is no longer our leader. He has been carried to the land of immortality; he has ascended into eternity. He is one of the countless numbers who have answered to the call of not my will but Thy will be done. Mr. Coates clearly saw and grasped the rural educational problems of Kentucky. He appreciated the problems of the Commonwealth more than any other Kentuckian of his time. With this as a background he was selected as the leader of the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and Teachers College eleven years ago. This enabled him to visualize the possibilities of making Eastern a great educational institution for those who intended entering the field of teaching in Kentucky. During his administration Eastern grew from a Normal School to a standard college with the privilege of granting bachelors ' de- grees. Through his efforts Eastern has been admitted to the State Association of Colleges, the National Association of Teachers Colleges, and will carry on athletics under the rules and regula- tions specified by the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Two years ago he obtained an appropriation large enough to complete the building of Burnam Hall and to erect a new ad- ministration building. The last efforts of this great educator were accomplished when the recent General Assembly granted an appropriation that will provide for the building of a new gymna- sium and an auditorium. President Coates has given his life that Eastern should live. Eastern is living and thanks to his untiring work in her behalf it will continue to live. The memory of President Coates will re- main at Eastern. The beautiful buildings erected during his ad- ministration stand as a tribute to his memory. Thomas Jackson Coates FOREWORD A S YOU follow the trail into your land of lomor- ■ row, may this the 1928 MILESTONE help you to remember the happy companionship of these days, the loyal friendship, and the ideals that have been yours while here. It is in a sincere attempt to make this keep-sake truly reflect the atmosphere and life of this institution that we have introduced a number of innovations . We hope that this may ever be a reminder of Eastern Teachers College, as it is today one of Kentucky ' s most prominent schools, which faces the unexplored possibilities of the rreat future. DEDICATION We respectfullx dedicate this volume of The Milestone to C. E. Caldwell A. B., A. M. as a mark of appreciation for the unfailing courtesy and kindness which has characterized his every relation with this institution.

It was the spring of 1929. The senior class of the preceding year of E. T. C. was at home for the first class reunion since commencement a year before. It was not long until the members of the class again showed their loyalty by being present. It was inevitable that the trend of conversation should drift along old college days at Eastern. Remember how we stood in line in Roark to get enrolled for our first semester ' s work? Gee, I ' ll say I remember that. I ' ll never forget those three days of standing. I never stood so much before then or since and never expect to again. How many of us would have returned home then if we had the train fare? I ' ll venture to say most of us. I would, rang out every member. After we were enrolled and had become acquainted with college routine we elected Bill Tuttle president. Yes, and didn ' t we have a big time that year. The boys ' initiation consisted of wear- ing red and white caps that resembled the cap of the Sultan of Turkey, while the initiation for the girls was the wearing of different colored hose. We girls were good sports too. We each purchased two of the brightest colored hose in town and wore them. Our sophomore year is well worth remembering too. We gave the freshmen initiation but the bovs refused to abide by our requests while the girls willingly wore big red hair ribbons. Their hard luck not over because they failed to enter into the spirit of freshmen college life. Wasn ' t Tom Eversole our president? Yes, he was good too, not criticising Claude Farley or Lawrence Wagers during our junior and senior years. That was when I did my practice teaching. Didn ' t you? Those children in the Training School surely had a good time with us student teachers. Yes, and we went on a lot of trips and excursions in the fall and spring. At the close of this year most of our class received life certificates and left to teach. Then they became faculty members. We waited a long time before organizing when we were juniors. How many in our class then, about 55? That year we sponsored the Junior Prom. Everyone had a good time too, even if it did rain and prevent some from attending. Didn ' t we feel our importance during Commencement week? Yes, we did. We juniors were the ushers at all events. And were admitted free to all Activities. Thats what I liked — getting in for nothing. Well, we certainly had a time during our last lap. Yes, just one thing after another. We started the year out nicely tho when Pres. Coates granted our request for Mr. Keith as advisor to the senior class. We had some trouble over our rings and invitations. When they finally arrived remember how friendly we displayed our pins and rings? And our play — Entra Madam. That was good — so unusual. We got something free that year too — free admittance to the Junior Prom. Oh yes, we did. My goodness, what time is it? Five o ' clock. Five o ' clock, the time certainly does fly. Yes, it does, especially when having such a good time. But it was worth all the time today to talk over our college days. Yes, and in the long run we did receive a square deal while at Eastern. Mrs Hubbard we certainly do appreciate your kindness in permitting .us to assemble here today. Good-bye. Good-bye everybody. Good-bye. Thirty-tiio i pJ — l £S- Vv K s.

To some it has probably seemed ages; to others a very short time. Nevertheless, we are at the close of our junior year. Memories of those first days have grown dim, perhaps we have even encouraged forgetfulness. In our present position it is almost beneath our dignity to recall those freshmen days, but if we must dig up the family skeleton we will bury it again as soon as possible. We came from all over the state, an inexperienced group of freshmen, inspired with ambition, courage and determined to find our places in the world. We thought that our presence on the campus would be that of importance and responsibility. However, the upper-classmen soon made us realize our position as freshies and we became a quiet, subdued group, befitting our station. Somehow we managed to bat- tle through our first and most difficult year of college life. As sophomores we renewed our determination to carry out the ideals which we possessed on our arrival at Eastern. One of the most outstanding events of the year was the May Festival. Our class had the distinction and honor of having the May Queen chosen from our group. Now, that we are juniors, we realize that our exalted position is not without re- sponsibility and labor. We have retained the custom of ac ting as ushers for all events on the campus. Our class featured in one of the leading social functions of the year, namely, that of sponsoring the Junior Prom. Next year some of our members will be stationed in various places in the teaching field. Because of their high standards of work, co-operation and loyalty we are sure of their success. However, the majority of the class will return to carry on their work as seniors. We are not stopping now at this, the end of the junior year, but we intend to continue climbing, keeping in mind that: you can ' t be a higlnvay, be a trail, If you can ' t be sun, be a star; It isn ' t by size that you ivin or fail, Be the best of whatever you are.

It is organized and maintained es- pecially for teachers who have not completed enough high school work to satisfy college entrance requirements. Its curricula is planned for two purposes: 1. To prepare teachers for the rural schools of Kentucky. 2. To prepare teachers for college entrance. The Normal School students are, in the main, mature men and women. Many of these students have had considerable experience in teaching. They are sincere, earnest, industrious, and capable. No where in Kentucky is there to be found a more desirable student body. The Normal School offers unexcelled opportunities for study and growth-. Courses are offered in practically all secondary school subjects, including home economics, art, manual training, and commercial courses. The Commercial Course includes complete courses in typewriting, shorthand, and bookkeeping. The library facilities are excellent. Normal School students have access to more than 23,000 re- ference books, pamphlets, and bulletins. The Normal School is accredited by the State Department of Education and by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Many improvements have been made within the past year. Standards of in- struction have been raised and the student activity program broadened. Efforts are being made to offer the student body a complete student-activity program — football, basketball, tennis, clubs, etc. The Normal School students are offered the opportunity of preparing themselves for public speakers. A great deal of interest was given to the interclass contests this spring. These contests consisted of Public Discussion, Reading, and Debate. This training is especially valuable to these students as prospective teachers. Sixty-seven ■ i , Sixty-eight Normal Senior Class The senior class of the Eastern Normal School was one of the largest classes in the history of the school. The class was well represented in all of the Forensic Contests of the Normal School. Two plays were presented during the year. Foiling the Flirtations of Father was presented on December 15, 1927, and Thank you Doctor was pre- sented on May 4, 1928. A class ring was adopted which has the maroon and white colors and a small replica of the Administration building in the design. By merely changing the year, this same design can be used by all future classes. A standard invitation was also adopted. Mr. E. L. Pearson, instructor in English, served as faculty advisor for the entire year. The officers of the class were: Herbert Holbrook, President; Clifford Rader, Vice President; and Grace Combs, Secretary.

' ' %8 fimi 3a3£ Seventy-two Looking Forward Eastern is now entering upon her third decade. The score of years which is now history has hrought many changes and placed Eastern among the foremost educa- tional institutions in the state of Kentucky. In this growth which has placed Eastern in the limelight as an educational center there has been advancement along many lines. Among the latest devolepments should be mentioned athletics. It is the aim of the officials of the school to have such athletics as will develop the body, make good sports out of the participants, and furnish recreational facilities for the entire student body. Starting: with the football season in 1928 Eastern will compete in all athletic contests under S. I. A. A. rules. The entrance of the school in this Association is certainly one more step forward. A freshman coach is to be employed and when school opens in September there will be a yearling squad to oppose the varsity in scrimmages. The destiny of athletics at Eastern is determined by the Athletic Committee. It is composed of the following members: A. B. Carter, Chairman R. A. Edwards Helen Russell C. A. Keith George Hembree George Gumbert Seventy-three The 192,7 Football Season In spite of the fact that they were seriously handkapped by a lack of reserve strength, injuries, and untimely ineligibilities, the Maroon warriors of Eastern made one of the most creditable showings during 1927 that a team representing the school has ever made on the gridiron. Faced with the responsibility of meeting Centre in the opening tilt, the boys went to work a week before the opening of school, and upset the dope bucket by holding that highly touted organization to one touchdown, but lost the decision by a 7-0 count. Eastern played the entire game without making a substitution, and brought the well deserved comment from the referee, that they were the fightingest eleven men he had ever seen. The next game brought Union to Richmond. They proved to be rather easy pickings for Eastern fattened her average by giving them a 39-0 trouncing to take home for the memory book. Possibly the most heart-breaking defeat of the season followed. Supported by a thirty piece band and a host of rooters, the Maroons journeyed to Winchester to do Seventy-four The 1927 Football Sesit muei battle with the Panthers of Kentucky Wesleyan. During the first five minutes of the game, Eastern scored a touchdown, but failed to kick goal. This was closely fol- lowed by a two point marker in the form of a safety for the Methodists. With the advantage in their hands our boys took the defensive. The struggle was nip and tuck, but the handicap of reserve strength proved the deciding factor. With only a few minutes to play, the fresher men of Wesleyan battered through for a marker, but failed to kick goal. Thus the game ended with Eastern on the short end of an 8-6 score. The percentage column went back on an even basis of games won and lost when the East Tennessee Teachers visited Richmond on the following Saturday. The Maroons, rankled by their defeat of the previous Saturday, came back with a ven- gance and walloped the Tennessee lads to the tune of 33-0. The next week of the season found the Eastern men invading the stronghold of Tusculum College at Greenville, Tenn. A royal battle ensued, but the Big Smoky Mountain boys had more than found their equals, and the Maroons broke into the winning side of the column with a 13-0 victory. Seventy-five The 192,7 Football Season—Continued Morehead Normal was the next host and likewise the next victim. No one who made the trip to Morehead will forget the fierce battle waged in the Rowan County capital on that memorable afternoon. However the Bluegrass boys managed to sur- vive and came home with another scalp, this time 12-6. Homecoming found the University of Louisville as the guest of honor, and riuht royally did they entertain instead. They provided the one regret of the occasion by taking the long end of a 21-13 score. It is possible that during this game, the longest run on record for the season was made. Intercepting a forward pass six yards be- hind his own goal line, Clyde Brock, Eastern half-back, outdistanced the entire Louisville team, to run 106 yards for a touchdown. This and a seventy yard sprint by H. Moberly were the features of the contest. The St. Mary ' s game provided another easy victory for the Maroons, who squelched them 32-6. Eastern had only nine men on the field during the last three minutes of play, the others having been sent to the showers when it was seen that the game was on ice. It was during this time that St. Mary ' s scored. Seventy-six Tke 192,7 F net The season closed with the Turkey Day game against Western at Bowling Green. In a sea of mud, aided by the fact that they were at home, Western adminis- tered a 12-0 mud massage to their Eastern invaders. They will play a return en- gagement in Richmond during 1928 and the loyal sons live in hopes of turning the tables. This was the worst defeat of the season and when it is considered that in a nine game schedule only one team could pile up a twelve point margin of victory, all loyal supporters must feel grateful to the coach and team that gave their best and so ably acquited themselves in the great college sport. For the first time, Eastern men received recognition in selections for All-State teams, which is another indication of the success enjoyed by the Maroons. Brock, Clouse, Combs, and Nard were mentioned hv a number of writers. Combs succeeds J. Moberly as leader of the Maroons and will be at the helm during the 1928 season. He is a power at Tackle and will be a good man around whom to build a team. Seventy-seven Results of 1927 Football Team.

If the Marionettes do not weaken this will eventually give Eastern a winning quinette. Last year the girls won a single game. This season they made it a couple. Is this not advancement? The 1928 team showed up exceptionally well during the first few weeks of practice and it looked very much like a winning combination had been found, even though the entire team was new. The first game which was played with the lassies from Sue Bennett seemed to prove the gossip which was going about on Eastern ' s campus in regard to the crack basketball team. In this opening game the girls from the Blue Grass garnered 17 points to the opponent ' s 5. Dope buckets are easily upset and many times speculation can not aid in finding the trouble. The dope bucket certainly was upset when the Marionettes won only two games during the season after showing the stuff they did at first. Something just went wrong. A slump came. This seemed to kill the esprit de corps of the team. Simmons, from Ashland, played inspired ball the entire season. In the first game she played running guard and made ten points. In most of the other games she held a forward post. Her total points of 58 for the season prove her excellency in basket shooting. Her closest competitor was Miss Morgan with 20 points. Miss Clay at center tallied 18 points during her stay with the team the first semester. She did excellent floor work. Miss Combs should be mentioned as an effective guard. C ' ornett, Combs, and Simmons were the only three players to be in every game of the season. The second semester the team was strengthened by having Miss Beck available for the forward position and Miss Hill for center.

The Maroons were able to win three games of the regular schedule while the Ma- rionettes succeeded in getting only two. The boys took a couple of games from Sue Bennett and one from Transylvania. This seems like a large percentage of loss, but it will be noticed from the scores that Eastern lost two games to Berea by only one point, a game to Union College by the same small margin, and a second game to Union by a score of 19 to 21. The worst defeat of the season was handed to the Maroon lads while invad- ing the camp of the Western Teachers College. This is not to be wondered at however, when it is considered that Western had one of the best teams in the state. The scoring attack for the season was headed by Gentry with a total of 98 points, not including any tournament games. Combs, guard, came next with 82 points to his credit, while Triplette, guard, has credit for 52. From the foregoing statement it is easy to see that a winning combination could not be found. The team was sadly in need of more material for the forward position with a keen eye for the loop. The guards proved more effective on scoring than did the forwards. The loss of Harold Moberly to the team early in the season was nothing short of a disaster. Harold was playing center and doing good floor work. This coupled with his ability to hit goals made him of untold value. Due to an injury received in a post-season football game, Harold was unable to stay with the team. The Maroons were greatly aided the second semester by the arrival of Deaton. His speed and floor work was the very thing that had been lacking on the Maroon team. Had Deaton been with the team the entire season there is no doubt but what the season ' s results would have been different. Last year ' s tournament results were duplicated in that Eastern played the first game with Transylvania and lost. The score this year was 23 to 31. In the consolation tournament the Maroons met the Panthers of Kentucky Wesleyan in the first game and defeated them by a 37 to 22 count. This paved the way for a hard fought battle between the Teachers and the Centre Colonels in which the former were nosed out once more by only one point, the score being 23 to 24.

Fifteen scheduled games were played, with the Maroons winning seven of them for an average of .446. The 1927 baseball team puts the previous season ' s records into oblivion in many respects. Fourteen games were played, the Maroons winning eight. This gives an average of .571 for the season. Not since the days of Earl Combs, now star center fielder for the New York Yankees, has Eastern had a nine better with the war club. In 1926 only one man had a batting average of over .300. This year, however, George Manley, center fielder, was clouting them out for .41(1 when school closed in June. Whitis, lengthy first sacker, had a .351 eye for the season. At times Whitis was a rival for the Bambino King for four sackers. Jack Rader, a southpaw, hit .325. If Jack could have spent all of his time in right field instead of taking his turn on the mound no doubt his batting record would have been much better. Richards, playing only a part of the season, was hitting .375. None of the pitchers of former seasons returned in 1927. This started the team off facing a grave situation. It was not long, however, until Patton, Tudor, and Jack Rader, the southpaw, were seeing service on the mound. One of the best pitched games of the season was against Transylvania when Patton handed them a 2-0 defeat. Taylor was on the receiving end and did good work. The infield was composed of Whitis, first; Gay, second; Moberly, third; and Staton, who was with the team only the first half of the season, short. Tudor then worked at short. The outer wall was well provided for with Capt. Stacy in left, Manley in center, and Rader in right.

There are three literary societies in which students debate upon the leading topics of the school, state and nation. Near the close of the school year there are debating clubs selected from the best of the debators which represent the school in debating contests throughout the state. The Y. W. C. A. is among the oldest organization on the campus. It has done and is still doing a great work. The latest and youngest addition to the list of organized bodies is the Y. M. C. A. This organization takes the place of the older and now extinct Men ' s Club. The strongest and fastest growing body on the campus is the Little Theater Club. This club is unique in that it is the only or ganization on the campus that requires tryouts betore new members are selected. The function of the L. T. C. is to develop, to a limited extent, the latent or dormant dramatic powers of the student. This year the Canterbury Club was organized. It is composed of students majoring or minoring in English. The members are selected with rerard to their scholastic standing. The object of the club is to assist in solving the problems of the English teacher and give the students a broader knowledge and a finer apprecia- tion of literature. No matter the ability or tact that a student may possess along some special line, there is some organization upon the campus that will offer an outlet to his or her expression or will aid in developing these traits.

The Open Forum has an official committee through which its members may- work. This committee has been untiring in its efforts to serve the students and the school. Like the Greeks it has tried to build slowly but well — an aim expressed in its slogan, Not to know the word fail. The principal things which the Open Forum has accomplished are: 1. It has conducted informational and inspirational chapel programs once a week by bringing the following outstanding speakers: Dr. Caukin, of Washington, D. C; Mr. Waterman, of Newfoundland; Dr. Funkhouser; Dr. Fortune; Mr. Desha Breckinridge; Mrs. Laura Clay; Dr. Sory ; Dr. Farquahr; and by putting on an Earl Combs ' Day, and an iron day. 2. It has conducted for one week an educational Red Cross program which at- tracted the attention of the National Red Cross. 3. It made a four-weeks study of chapel conditions on our campus. 4. It made contributions to the student loan fund by means of such commer- cial activities as, the Kitchen Cabinet Orchestra, other entertainments, and food sales. 5. It brought Christmas cheer by devoting one evening to the singing of carols in the community. 6. It made a study of food prices in the cafeteria. 7. It established a scholarship trophy. 8. It managed three art exhibits; a Rigdon Reed wood block exhibit, an ex- hibit of reproductions, and an exhibit of original painting from the Metropolitan Art Museum. 9. It secured from Grosset and Dunlap an exhibit showing the manufacture of a book. 10. It purchased a letterograph. 11. It secured an exhibition game to be played by Earl Combs for the benefit of the student loan fund. The success of the work of the Open Forum is due to the excellent co-operation of its many members, both in the Normal and in the College; to the regular weeklv business meetings held by the Committee; to the patient and scholarlv guidance of the faculty member, Miss Schnieb, and to President Coates, who made the Com- mittee feel that he always had implicit confidence in their ability and judgment.

In accordance with the custom, there appeared upon the campus peculiarly attired people who were in no way showing by thier actions that they were sane college people. Some had returned to their childhood days and were astride those lively animals known as stick-horses. Others — this was intended especially for the girls, but seemed to affect some of the boys too — were forbidden to use cosmetics for a week. This restriction had a tragic end. Some sweethearts did not recognize each other, and those that did parted forever. One poor creature sat upon the pedestal in front of the library and acted as though she were rowing a boat. Occasionally she would rest her oars, rise to her feet, and, with her hand shading her eyes, look toward the horizon in search of land. To the old students who understood the situation all this was a great source of amusement, but not until it was explained to the new students that it was the Little Theatre Club initiation of the Goats that their emotions of bewilderment, and even sometimes fear, changed to that of enjoyment of the scenes. Yet, with industry, dignity, and seriousness worthy of any dramatic organization the club buckled down to business, and as a result produced successfully two three- act plays and three one-act plays during the year. The Brat was given during the Ninety-six The Little T. first semester. The three one-act plays, Woman Hunted, Temporary Inmates, and Love in a Park were presented by the second semester Goats. In these plays some real dramatic ability was shown. The last time this year the members of the Little Theatre Club faced the footlights was in The First Year which was a fitting climax for the year ' s work. Again the people who looked forward the Little Theatre play as the big event of the season were not disappointed. Seated around the banquet table were happy young men and women. Dignified waiters served the most delicious foods. All partook heartily. Peels of merry laughter filled the room. Then when all had finished, very entertaining speeches were heard. In the next scene we find the happy people gliding across the floor, keeping time to the melodous strains of music that was revibrated by every heart present. The room was filled with soft, mellow light which displayed beautifully the artistic decorations. All about were beautiful gowns of every hue, contrasted by the white bosoms outlined by the conventional black of the dress suits. It was the annual Little Theatre Club dinner dance. Under most efficient administration the Little Theatre Club has made wonderful progress. From time to time the critera for entering the club have become more rigid. Real dramatic standards have been set up, and things are being carried on in a business-like way. N ' tnety-seien The Little Tteatre Club ADVISORS Pearl Buchannan N. G.

Through this scientific discovery which forces ordinary air out of the ice cream freezers and replaces it with an absolutely sterile at- mosphere we now insure the purity and good- ness of our ice cream. This means that the ice cream you, or your children, buy at one of our agencies is scien- tifically safeguarded. That it is finer in tast- ing qualities than ordinary ice cream — due to the intensifying of flavors through Keath- ization. In short, that it is an ice cream of surpassing purity and goodness.

We never could tell any difference between an April fool and a May, June, July, or an all year ' round one. But the April fool gets more publicity. There may be some seasonable reason why April 1st is more fruitful of foolishness than the other 364 days of the year, but if there is, we don ' t know it. As far as we ' ve been able to observe, foolishness knows no reasonable fluctuations. Why a man should be called a fool for kicking a hat with a brick inside of it en April 1st — rather than on New Years day, remains a mystery. Of course this is a minor matter, never more serious than a broken toe, fcot or leg. But true to tradition there must be poems of spring. This one is en- titled Sprig Sog alias Don ' t Get Your Feet Wet. Sprig, Sprig, glorious Sprig, I got a colt ad every thig; I took off mv heavy underthig, Oh, I was a fool. I got an awful colt in my het, Wed id the raid and got all wet; I ' m wriding his poeb id my bet — Oh, I was a fool.
