Eatttenti Dedication In appreciation oi the loyalty and good cheer which he has manifested toward the student body since the opening of Lambuth we dedicate these pages to Professor E. E. Walden. We feel that the choice of the student bod} ' is a mark of gratitude for the able assistance rendered to all who have sought his counsel. His popularity as a professor and a friend has ever remained in the hearts ol the students, and the high expression of his integrity, as pro- claimed by all who have known him, merits its strength. 9he Fanf ern x m BETTY BALLARD - .......

They are the first to have spent their entire college days at Lam- huth. We will miss the class of ' 28; their wholesome spirit has been unexcelled; their untiring efforts for Lambuth ' s history and future have been appreciated. They leave a task accomplished, a work well done, a splendid spirit. They were here as freshies to build its traditions and spirit — and they have builded well! Hail to the Seniors of ' 28! Senior Class Sponsor Miss Katharine Clement was the unanimous choice for Sponsor of the Senior class this year. Miss Clement ' s popularity among the students was well expressed by this act of the Senior class. She has taken an enthusiastic interest in all extra curricular activities and has been largely responsible for the success of the Dramatic Club.

Taylor has been at Lambuth for four years; he has been a leader in many extra curricular activities. No man on the campus has done more for his Alma Mater. The honor of tin ' s office comes as a culmination to his ability as a leader. Not only has Alf directed the student bod)- with precision, but he has suc- cessfully led it in many phases of college activity.

The whole student body has it, and they are going to keep it. My, but that Brownsville bunch of co-eds could yell — Ooo-Ahhh — Oooo-Ahhhh, give ' em the old locomotive and give it to ' em slow. Bingo, bingo, bingo, Bill, William, Barnev Google, or Salesman Sam . What is the difference? We brought it all out during the wash, a pep meeting, flag-raising or round the town parade. The Pep Club was organized in 1926 with Helen Crider, as president. The Pep Club stands for clean sports with plenty of support and yells from the side lines. One thing we are proud of this year is the flag-raising the Pep Club sponsored. Just before the referee blew his whistle to call the Eagles to the fray our dear old Lambuth colors, blue and white, were hoisted above the battlefield to the strains of our beloved Alma Mater song, Hail to Lambuth — Our Lambuth beloved . And we made it ring, too. Will Rogers may say that Congress needs pep, but he would surely have to cross his fingers to say it about Lambuth.

A. makes it a pleasure to entertain a visitor coming from any- where to help them in their work. Local speakers are received with pleasure. We have been benefitted greatly by the presence of such men as Edward A. Hamilton, F. A. Saliatz and C. N. Guthrie. CO-OPERATION: Fun frolic is enjoyed by large audience. Lambuth Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. co-operated in presenting a varied program of several numbers, including as its climax the baby show . Proceeds go for pledges and addition to college attractiveness. PROGRESS: The Y has doubled its membership in a short while. An active part has been taken in local entertainments and in a financial way it has helped several worthy causes with the point in view of increasing the contacts of the students and thereby broadening their outlook. The news notes above are indicative of the spirit and the various ways in which the student organization has sought to realize its purpose and motto given above. In weekly meetings of prayer and discussion the members are able to give to each other their own feelings and inspiraitons. VZ $1 9m m Page sixty-nine ®he anient D. D. D. D.

Tenn. 9he Fantern in Coach Eagle came to Lambuth as director of athletics when the institution first opened its doors to students. He filled the position admirably, and rapidly gained the friendship of the student body. His work in the field of sports has done much to further the reputation of clean athletics of which his teams have been the expo- nents. Eagle had no assistants during the first two years of his work. In ' 26 Professor C. O. Moore was called to aid him in football coaching, and Miss Lucile Womack was given charge of the athletics for girls. Coach Eagle is well trained in athletic instruction, and his work with those inclined toward athletics has been systematic and wholesome. He has probably had a most profound influence on the athletes of Lambuth, and we feel that each one is the richer for having shared his aggressive personality. Page seventy-eight ©he Tanf ern in i RESUME OF FOOTBALL In 1927 the Lambuth grid squad played nine games, won four, lost four, and tied one, thereby making an average of 500 per cent. Figures do not lie — they battled to a standstill with nine of the toughest football teams in this vicinity. In figures they averaged exactly half of what they wrote on the hearts of all with whom they came in contact by reason of their clean, wholesome brand of athletics. That is a tribute to Coaches M. E. Eagle and C. O. Moore, who instilled into the soul of each man the belief that records of character are much better than records of physical perfection. The record of which they are proudest, we feel sure, is that of gentlemanliness which has been bestowed upon them by several college presidents and coaches. In the first tussle, played at Memphis, against the Southwestern gridiron expo- nents, the Eagles were defeated by the score of 40 to 15. The next two games they won from the Tupelo Military Institute and Blue Mountain aggregations with the scores 15 to 6 and 6 to 0, respectively. Murray, Kentucky Normal checked their winning streak effectively by a 12 to score, but the Eagles came back strong the next week-end and sailed away with an 87 to victory clutched in their talons. Tonesboro College felt the sting of their claws. In one of the classics of the season the Eagles battled to the last ditch with the West Tennessee Teachers ' team, finally losing 12 to 14. In that game Lambuth did something that no other team, playing in that season, was able to accomplish. They stopped Gale Flora, Teachers ' halfback, on ever} ' play that he started, and effectively checked Shelby Schneider, the renowned red headed fullback for the Teachers. Journeying to the Mississippi delta the Eagles swooped down on the Mississippi Delta Teachers College out fit, snatched up a 15 to 7 win, and soared home again. They fought the U. T. Juniors to a 7-7 tie and lost their final game on Thanksgiving to Bethel College, 30 to 13. The following men were awarded letters at the close of the season: Dwight Norman, captain and center; Bruce Bailey, halfback; Robert Simmons, halfback; Robert Clark, fullback; J. Doyne Young, quarterback; Laurent Johnson, quarter- back; Weldon Howell, end; James Robert Gardner, end; Allan Ferguson, tackle; Dan Overall, halfback; Ralph White, tackle; Harold Stanley, guard; and J. S. Scott, tackle. Page eighty m ©he Fantern T -- i 1 f COACH EAGLE: He has an eagle eye for good material, and can take the greenest of them and turn out a finished product. Coach Eagle has been a great factor in building the reputation of Lambuth on the field of sport. RALPH WHITE: Bull White first soared with the Eagles this year. He learned to fly at an early- age, and all during the season he could be seen spreading his pinions in steady attack upon the invaders. He played tackle. BOB CLARK: Everyone jokes Big Bob about his feet. That ' s all right Bob, it stands to reason you have a large brain to move them accurately. Boh ' s work at end in ' 24, ' 2? and ' 26 will be remembered, and his services at fullback in ' 27 were highly effective. DWIGHT NORMAN: He has the distinction of playing every minute of every game since his debut with the Eagles in ' 25. He performed at center in ' 25, ' 26 and ' 27, being selected to captain the squad in ' 26 and ' 27. Norman was rarely flashy, but tenaciously steady. ALFRED TAYLOR: Taylor managed ' em when no one else could. He was always there to cheer the gang up — and to arrange the niftiest schedules the college has ever known. He served as manager of all athletics this year. Page eighty-one • P ®he J2Tanf ?rn x m DAN OVERALL: From now on nobody cm tell us that marriage is not inspiring. It had to be to justify Dan ' s excellent work for the Eagles in ' 27. He played at halfback in ' 24, ' 25, ' 26 and ' 27. Dan was selected all-round athlete in ' 26. ERNEST BALL: Kid Ball glorified his home town by his brilliant services for Lambuth on the grid- iron. He hails from Brazil — think of it. You should hear him spout off after a game about the advan- tages of the village over the lurid city. The past season was his first with the Eagles. WF.LDON HOWELL: Remember the Alamo , was Jumbo ' s battle cry. I guess so — he hails from Alamo. Howell began his career with the Eagles in ' 26 at end. He did much to fatten it at the same position in ' 27. j. S. SCOTT: Scott first made his appearance here in ' 27. He grabbed off a berth cm the squad the first year by his good work at tackle. JIM BOB GARDNER: Gardner is as good at keeping them guessing on the gridiron as he is at worrying the ladies. That is saying something. He was a strong point in the Eagles ' line at end in ' 2 . He started in ' 26. Page eighty-two in @he lantern cr $ mm HAROLD S TANLEY: Diminutive but speedy he has steadily climbed in gridiron ability. He can play any- where, and regardless of where you put him you will usually find him at the bottom of the pile after the play. ROBERT SIMMONS: Bob galloped to fame at Bowling Green. He snatched a pass and pounded down the field for a touchdown. You can hear them talk about it at school now. In ' 26 Bob played guard, and in ' 27 he galloped in all directions from the position of halfback. BRUCE BAILEY: Bailey has the deserved reputation of having the fastest getaway ever developed on Lambuth field. He is a sure tackier, and is hard to head when he finds a broken field. He performed at fullback in ' 25, and was shifted to halfback in ' 26. He played there in ' 27. J. DOYNE YOUNG: Doc played quarter in ' 26 and ' 27. He could be counted on for steady headwork and good judgment at any stage of the game. He was always calm; his silence was like a lull before a storm. ALLAN FERGUSON: Allan said he couln ' t play football. He was persuaded to try this season, much to the inconvenience of Lambuth ' s opponents. He played guard consistently and intelligently. LAURENT JOHNSON: Johnson, The Wizard plied his magic for the Eagles in ' 27. It must have been forces of the supernatural that moved the lad out across the field. He is fast, shifty, and as clean a sport as has been on our field. He played halfback. Page eighty-three 9he Sttntern BASKET BALL ' 28 @he Sfanf tttx x °1 OWEN HARDAWAY has become a symbol of basket ball ability at Lambuth. His stellar work at running guard in ' 26 and forward in ' 27 merited him the captaincy of the Eagles in ' 27. He is captain ielect for ' 28- ' 29. DWIGHT NORMAN, guard, added appreciably to his athletic record again this season by his steady work under the basket. Norman would calmly snatch the leather from some hopeful forward and hurl it back up the court within scoring distance of Lambuth ' s goal. ERNEST BALL could choke the basket with those lengthy shots like most of them can on a crip shot. He played running guard and was continually feeding the ball to his brother Brazilian, Hardawav. RALPH WHITE came to Lambuth playing basket ball. He was selected from a large number of cagers as the best all-round man, and then came here from high school and made a name for himself by his good work at forward. WELDON HOWELL played center. If he couldn ' t get the tip off every time it rankled him, and then he got everything coming his way. Jumbo would take the leather off the backboard and burn up the court getting back to Lambuth ' s goal. LAURENT JOHNSON covered the floor as smoothly and swiftly as the wind. His services were good throughout the season. He is another one of those first year men who have distinguished themselves in athletics at Lambuth. AARON WALKER started whetting his talons for Lambuth this year. He clawed effectively with them in basket ball, and next year he will doubtless carry away honors in his claws. He plays forward. Page fig hly -six e v = =$B 7?r in She TSnntern Review of Basketball Duplicating in part their splendid record for 1925-26 the basketeers of Lam- buth for 1927-28 played fifteen scheduled games, winning nine and losing six. The total score for the Eagles was 581 points to their opponents ' 488 tallies. That record is the second best that has ever been chalked up in Lambuth, being excelled only by the superior team of ' 25 and ' 26. When Coach Eagle made his first call for cagers he was well awarded for his efforts by an assemblage of experienced men who had received instructions under his own hands, and a wealth of new material. The quintet rapidly developed into a fast, smooth running machine under his hands and by the time of the first tilt with Freed-Hardeman, on December 17, 1927, the Eagles had developed enough to mark up a 74 to 23 victory over their opponents. The next several tilts tested the metal of the Eagles. They fought tooth and toe nail through the next six skirmishes taking a 51 to 30 defeat from the Bemis Y. M. C. A.; trouncing Freed- Hardeman again 53 to 26; losing to the U. T. Juniors 51 to 31; whipping the Bethel quint by the small margin of 32 to 31; suffering defeat from the West Tennesse Teachers 26-36; pummeling Murray Normal 32 to 24; and finally break- ing the jinx by whipping Jonesboro 42 to 31. The Eagles took only three defeats after winning from Jonesboro. They were defeated by the U. T. Juniors, Murray, Kentucky, State Normal, and the Bemis Y. M. C. A. Having made a record that qualified them to enter the college basket ball tour- nament held at Jonesboro, Arkansas, the Eagles journeyed to the scene of action and emerged from the tourney in second place. Then won that distinction over a large field of colleges that were well represented by strong quintets. Their first game resulted in a victory by the score of 36 to 28. They won from the Bethel five of Russellville, Kentucky. They next lost to the West Tennessee Teachers by the score of 22 to 31, and then took revenge on the Murray Normal outfit by whip- ping them 26 to 17. Concentrating their efforts on placing in the tournament, they whipped the Mill-Mayfield cagers 45 to 33, and won second place when the West Tennessee Teachers forfeited to them. To the following men Lambuth owes the honor of this splendid record: Dwight Norman, Owen Hardaway, Ralph White, Weldon Howell, Ernest Ball, Aaron Walker, Laurent Johnson and Coach M. E. Eagle. Hardaway captained the Eagles through the successful season, and displayed an unusual ability to secure team work and co-operation from the outfit. His knowledge of the game was thorough, and his work at forward was one of the big factors in the success of the Eagles. Just so that we might remember how the old line-up looked as we crowded around the gymnasium anxiously awaiting the referee to open the ball we are repro- ducing here the names of the group that haye labored for Lambuth on home and foreign floors: Hardaway and White, forwards; Ball and Norman, guards; and Howell, center. Walker and Johnson in reserve as first substitutes. Page eighty-seven ?2 H : : £•: w H S 3 5 •I @Ihe Tonfern X in BETTY BALLARD has played for Lambuth for four years at the position of forward. She is little, but her ability to sack the ball from inconceivable positions offsets that handicap. Betty leaves this yeajr, and it will be a hard matter to fill her position. RITA PONTIUS drives a Nash, vamps J. S. Scott, goes to school, and plays basket ball. She plays center, and her opponents are very guarded in their movements while in her territory. She is the Ka-da-ba-lins. JEWEL REED is tall, but not too tall; just tall enough to play jumping center effectively. She has long hair, not too long, just long enough to do up, but she is good and that is not qualified. KAYE LEWIS is a red headed forward. She gets about so fast some time that the court is hemmed in by a streak of fire. She can either sack ' em or feed the others. Red was captain for ' 27- ' 28. She leaves this year, and we are all sorry. Her letter has three service stripes. MARY HOOVER is a freshman. She is a real guard also. That has been proved by her cage work during her first year at Lambuth. Mary some times insisted on getting personal with players, but after all what ' s a rumpus between friends? SARA M. ROSE cinched the position of guard early in the season of her first year at Lambuth; that was ' 27. She held on to it during the season and acquitted herself with credit. COBY THREADGILL got her basket ball training at Lexington. She came to Lambuth, and played a good brand of ball in her freshman year. Coby was always level headed on the court, and she tallied quite a number of points from the position of forward. VIRGINIA WADSWORTH: Wads started her activities with the Eagles in ' 26 and ' 27. She learned to fly with the rest of the brood in time to annex a letter for the past season by her stellar playing at, guard. Her particular hobby was offensive work, but she was not what one might call rude. Page eighty-eight X ffl ®he antern RESUME OF SEXTETTE SEASON Lambuth girls started the season off with three letter players from last year in the ranks. Lewis, however, had to shift to jumping center because of the vacancy left in that place by Lambuth ' s center for the past three years, Anne Warden. Ballard was back at forward position and Pontius in center. The team met with defeats at the first of the season but with constant practice the players learned to work together and the end of the season found the Eaglesses with a plucky little team scrapping for victories. It could not be said of any game that those Eagles ever gave up. They fought always to the end. Coach Womack did much to improve their pass work and the end of the season found them doing some flashy playing. Especially in the last two games did they strut their onions . The teams they met this season were: West Tennessee Teachers ' College. Junior University of Tennessee. Jonesboro A. M. Bethel College. Freed-Hardeman College. :°t H £ s R PtJgr eig i y-nhn ®hc JJanf ern x m Baseball and Tennis BASEBALL The Eagles had a regular nine on the diamond this year and following; the tradition of Lambuth baseball history they had a good team. For twirlers of the sphere Jim Bob Gardner, Bruce Bailey and Edward Smith were used. Infielders were: Weldon Howell, catcher; Dwight Norman, first base; Harold Stanley, second base; Marion Hood Mathis, third base; Doyne Young, short stop. Outfielders were: Raymond Wilson, center; Ralph White, left; and Cecil Baker, right field. Utility men of ability were: Laurent Johnson and Chester Parham. Games were scheduled with Murray State Normal, Bethel, West Tennessee Teachers ' College, Junior University of Tennessee and Southwestern University. The Eagles were in good shape and were victorious in a large number of games. TENNIS Tennis is still in its infancy as a sport in Lambuth College. Last year a larger number of net aspirants made their appearance than had ever before been witnessed at Lambuth. A tennis club was formed and tournaments were held with the idea of selecting the champions of the school to represent it in college tourna- ments. This year much work was expended on the courts of the college, and they were gotten into first class condition. A new tennis club was formed with Herschel Walden as president, Clarence Evans as manager and Professor Frank Cross as faculty advisor. Intra-mural tournaments were held for the purpose of developing tennis players at the college that would be able to creditably represent the school in tourneys with other colleges. The other members of the club are Aaron Walker, V. E. Banks, Marshall San ford, Paul Robinson, Charlie Sparks, Comer Hastings. Tennis is rapidly advancing to recognition in the college as one of the best sports of the day. The training received in the game is credited by the faculty for athletic hours in that it is conducive to all round development of the body and mind. Page ninety n @he Tanfern x m Dedication The staff was puzzled, one and all. There was a great debate On whom should the dedication fall In the Lantern of ' 28. Some wanted the faculty as a whole, Nay say not so unto me! Came the cry from those for Walden We shall just cast vote and see. Well! Walden won that mighty race. He goes in the Hall of Fame So in the front we have his face And under it his name. Through this hook you must have looked At the funny names and faces ut wait — the kick is coming yet, It ' s interesting in places! The part you have seen is nothing The best is yet to be.

Professor Seeger has also helped the college materially in the work he has done with violin and voice students, with students of theory and harmony also. Miss Louise Mercer too has done much toward contributing to the fine arts department. Her piano pupils have rendered splendid assistance in many programs. Miss Katharine Clement, who directs the Dramatic club, with the assistance of Mr. Seeger and Miss Sarah V. Clement, deserves much credit for the splendid work of the Dramatic club.

Star Laundry Jackson Cleaners Both Phones 2123 Learning While Serving From boyhood it was said of Abraham Lincoln that he was a learner . In his ambition to post himself he sat at the feet of who- ever could teach him. In time he overtopped them all. The learner rises above his competitors in all life ' s activi ties. He masters conditions because he learns all about them. We sit at the feet of the public wherever we have stores, learn- ing and posting ourselves of the needs of home and person as best we can. Diligently applying ourselves to the responsible task of providing those needed when needed is the virtue to which may be traced much of the extraordinary devel- opment of this company. J. C.
