Such superlatives are out of place in the prevue of THE 1937 LANTERN. We wish simply to state that it is an attempt to cap- ture between the covers of a book the drama of the year nineteen thirty-seven at Lambuth College — a year packed with action, thrills, comedy and well, yes — love. You will notice we have attempted to represent the year book as a movie production. How well we have succeeded we leave for you to decide.

Aladdin ' s Lamp According to the famous tale from The Arabian Nights, Aladdin could have any wish fulfilled merely by rubbing his lamp. We hope that the 1937 LANTERN will prove to be a magic lamp in days to come and by turning its pages may you be able to capture some visions of the past. DR. R. E. WOMACK jyte£iJLen,t OIL e eae t£i£ iJLent AS THE years pass our institution strikes its roots more deeply into the soil in which it was planted. More and more it is coming to be considered a potent influence in the educational, religious and social life of the area it serves. The causes are not difficult to discover. Lambuth College has very definite educational aims. These have been stated over and over again — in the press, in the college publications and from the pulpits of our churches. Moreover, they have been emphasized in faculty meet- ings, in the chapel and in the classroom, with the result that these aims are being realized in the lives of students and alumni. Lambuth College has now been in operation long enough to enable its constituency to see some of the results of its program and policies. There is general appreciation of the service rendered by Lambuth alumni to the communities in which they live and work. Greater recog- nition than ever before is being given to the administrative officers and faculty members. Lambuth College is not living a life apart. It is definitely identified with many progressive and constructive movements. It will never be content merely to reflect the thought and life around it, but will always strive to help direct them toward socially desirable goals. 11 h ' - mm MARVIN E. EAGLE A.B., M.A. AUDREE M.

Mrs. O ' Leary ' s Lantern Famous, or rather infamous, in history is the lantern which Mrs. O ' Leary ' s cow kicked over October 8, 1871, in a stable on the outskirts of Chicago starting a fire that practically destroyed the city.

STUDENT BODY GOVERNMENT BORDEN S. CHRONISTER Student Body President JAMES L. ENGLAND Vice-president This is the initial year of operation for the new student body government on the Lambuth campus. The student government centers entirely around the new constitution which was adopted by the student body in the latter part of the 1936 school term. The constitution is, essentially, drawn up on the same plan as our national constitution in that it embodies the executive, judicial and legislative departments of government. The executive department is administered by the president and vice-president of the stu- dent body. The judiciary is made up of the Judicial Committee which serves to interpret the constitution and try cases involving breaches of student regulations. The legislative department is made up of the Student Council which is composed of sixteen members, four elected repre- sentatives from each class and with the vice-president as the presiding officer. President Chron- ister and Vice-President England had the honor as well as the enormous task of setting up this new government for the first time. THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE James P.

Lantern cameramen had been filming sequences for some time before this date, however. The directors wish to thank the student body for their cooperation in making the production a success. We hope you will give it four stars in your movie book. 44 THE VISION STAFF Maxine Burnette j Editors Onorine Burnette J Louis Wrather Sports Editor Netwyn Todd Society Editor Nelson Jones Art Editor Elizabeth Crowe Reporter 45 u 4 i k J - 1 O Q ft, ft GLEE CLUB MISS LOUISE MERCER, Director OFFICERS Marcus Gurley President Robbie Gowan Vice-President Margaret Wade Secretary Dorothy Dike Treasurer Martha Frances Sawyer and Virginia Jones Librarians Richard Womack Business Manager Margaret Phillips Pianist MEMBERS Sopranos SUE BLANCETT MARGAET FISHER WILL EVELYN HAYS TINY HEARN KATHRYN JONES MARTHA F.

EAGLE BASKETBALL - v Coach Johnson continues to be The Moulder of Cham- pions. Great Lambuth basket- ball clubs seem to be his hobby. LANIER DeSHAZO A Senior and a great bas ketball player in every respect. ' THE M.V.C. TOURNAMENT Lambuth sent two fine teams to the Missis- sippi Valley tournament, held in Martin, March 1st and 2nd. The Eaglettes had little trouble, successfully defending their crown for the fourth year. Johnson ' s lassies brushed aside Northwest Mississippi Junior College in finals, 38 to 21. The Eagles drew the powerful U. T. Junior Vols and lost a heart-breaking thriller, 35 to 33, in the semifinal round. This was the first time in four years that the Eagles were not in the final round. Such a record is a tribute to any team as well as a fine example of the coaching ability of Coach Johnson. EAGLETTES JIMMIE DEW Forward Flashy little forward.

RANDOLPH RANCE TUCKER Forward Hard-working performer. WILLIE FRANCIS Forward Steady, good defensive player. ' BASKETBALL (Eagles) The Eagles had their ups and down during the 1937 season. It looked as if Johnson had another Champion M. V. C. team as the boys took Arkansas State over the bumps in the season ' s opener, 27 to 15. Gaining momentum Lambuth trimmed the Corporals of Bethel College 27 to 17 for their initial conference win. Then, against Freed-Hardeman ' s rangy Lions, the Eagles stood around the first half — played ball the last and droppd the game, 34 to 22. Came the flood, and with it went Captain Curtis Sullivan, Sharp-shootin ' Patt Webb, and Amazin ' Bob White, to do patrol work along the levees. That left Coach Johnson with two regulars and a bunch of eager rookies to carry on against the tough Valley teams. Journeying to Martin the flood-stripped Eagles dropped a two-pointer to the strong Junior Vols, 31 to 29. A week later Bethel splashed through the flood for a return engagement with the Eagles and Lambuth went to town for a 35 to 20 victory. Along the middle of February those pesky Volunteers of Martin spanked our Eagles again — this time, 21 to 19. Things went from worse to terrible as Austin Peay let the blue-jersied Lambuths down twice, 31 to 29 and 42 to 35. Along about this time the Mississippi moved Gulfward and back trudged those three missing links, Sully, Patt and Bob. Along with those three came better business as the Lynx of Southwestern tumbled before the rejuvenated Eagles, 20 to 18. In the tournament at Martin, Lambuth again caught their nemesis, the Vols. Fighting on even terms all down the stretch the Eagles were finally pushed back by two points, 35 to 33. BASKETBALL (Girls) Lambuth boasted a good girls ' team in 1937. It was not to be classed as great, but good enough to win the Mississippi Valley Championship. Coach Johnson was faced with the rebuilding of practically his whole team. From down Mississippi way he brought two fine players in Jim Dew and Bill Martin, who fitted in the Johnson scheme unusually well. From nearby Huntersville came Mildred Spivey who scored sensationally as a Freshman, sending 120 points through rhe loop to lead the Eaglettes. Browns sent Winslow one of the finest guards in this section, to fill the shoes of Eunice Harris. Kay, Lax, and Haskins steadied these recruits with their expe- rience and sterling performance. Playing against the toughest teams in the nation, the Eaglettes won seven and lost the same number — a remarkable record for what might be classed as a first year team. The Eaglettes made two cross-country trips during the season, to Galveston, Texas, during the Christ- mas holidays and to Wichita, Kansas, to participate in the National Girls Tourney. 77 id .; : - TENNIS Tennis Champions for seven years — that ' s the record that Lambuth has in the Mississippi Valley Conference Tennis cir- cles and that ' s the record that this year ' s team is trying to add one more championship to. Last year Lambuth had a successful season. Under the guid- ing hand of Coach Michel, Lambuth lost only one match, that to the powerful Commodores of Vanderbilt. This year Michel will have a wealth of new material to fill the ranks of the departed. Newcomers are: Bill Martin, Jim Dew, Jane Cosner, Elizabeth Coffey, James Allen and Oscar Dodds. Returning veterans: Ennis Robbins, Gardner Ray, Tom Swift and Marjorie Swift. In addition to the usual conference foes, Lambuth will prob- ably take on Vanderbilt and Southwestern.

Playing one of the heaviest schedules that an Eagle team has ever had, Coach Johnson ' s lads managed to come out one ahead of the books . . . winning eight and losing seven. Boasting an unusually fine mound corps, composed of Billy Steele, Patt Webb, and Barton Webb, the Eagles took their conference games in stride. Meeting Vanderbilt, one of the best teams in the Southeastern Conference, Lambuth was dealt a double defeat, their only losing streak of the season. Behind the plate was heavy hitting Raymond Matthews. The infield was made up of Steele, Charlie Phelps, Ducky Mitchell, and Johnny Parham. Roving the outfield were Bud Miller, Neal Sherrod, and Curtis Sullivan. The 1937 prospects look bright. Although the squad was hit heavily by graduation and men changing schools, the Eagles are apt to put the Mississippi Valley Conference champion- ship back in the Hub city. Returning veterans are: Curtis Sullivan, Charles Phelps, Patt Webb, and Randolph Tucker. New men in school with ability will fill the ranks. Pat Webb at the Bat GLIMPSES INTRAMURAL The intramural sports program at Lambuth has taken on new life and is in process of rapid development. The program was designed with the idea that the opportunity to participate in some form of sport should be offered to every student on the campus. Most of the machinery for carrying out this program has already been set up. Students now have the opportunity to participate in out-door camping, golf, tennis, soft- ball, horseshoe pitching, shuffleboard, ping-pong, baseball, basketball, football, croq uet and archery. Below are shown some of the scenes of activity indicating the rapid advance in intra- mural sports.

The course is taught by Professor Charles Flash Phelps, who is well qualified as he is majoring in this course and in fact has taken little else. He is assisted by Miss Craddock Vaughn, who is new at the study but making excellent progress. Both day and night courses are taught by the professor and during the spring quarter a new course in campusology is contemplated. Music is provided during the lunch hour. Only the latest methods and techniques are employed and graduates are qualified to receive a license at the matrimonial bureau in the courthouse when they have completed their work here. Among those who made the honor roll last quarter with straight A ' s were: J. S. Morris and Frances Johnston, Lanier DeShazo and Virginia Jones, Harvey King and Frances Sands, Louis Wrather and Mildred Spivey (have had spe- cial training in busology) and Ira Ford Porter and Nelwyn Todd (are just about ready to receive diploma) . LAMBUTH LINGO Among the slang expressions current on the campus dur- ing the year were: Drive in here — Polite way of asking a freshman to your room. Popping his bill — excessive and spurious talk. Honey britches — nuts about a dame. Really ready — a superlative applicable to most anything. Hot boy — a gentleman possessing superior attributes. Super hot boy — hot boy with a higher temperature reading. SCREEN SOUVENIRS The Lanternette turns back the film to the good old days when Lambuth ' s Eagles and Eaglettes had just hatched out of their shells and were trying their wings for the first time. The Bloomer Girls in the upper picture were right in style in 1924. 82 THE LANTERNETTE IS COOPERATION A GREAT THING? Joe Freeland, Lambuth ' s leading freshman orator, drives his point home with a terrific swing of his mighty fist as he declares, We cannot operate unless we cooperate, because no operation is successful without CO-OPERATION. Joe ' s listeners seem to have gone on a sit-down strike, refusing to be moved by Joe (John L. Lewis) Freeland ' s ringing appeal. SNAPS FROM HERE AND FAVORITE QUOTATIONS FROM FACULTY MEMBERS Bro.

Face is equipped with dopey expression, cherubic smile and nine hairs on chin. Hair is wavy when the wind is blowing. He is wanted by the authorities at Tiptonville for bovine robbery committed on one Lucy Belle, an unwary refugee cow. The depredations were committed while the National Guard was in camp in the flood area from January 25 to February 15. It is said that this White deprived a calf, Lucy Belle, Jr., of the natural services of her mother thus causing a state of malnutrition. The authorities of Tiptonville offer the reward of two (2) cents for the capture of this dangerous and desperate criminal. CALLING ALL CARS! CALLING ALL G-MEN! GET WHITE! Public Enemy No. 9999 N2 HERE IS THE EVIDENCE Exhibit A: The culprit is shown in the act of committing bovine robbery on the person of Lucy Belle. LLULLABYTIME IN LAMBUTH ' S PEP (?)

In his ambition to post himself he sat at the feet of whoever could teach him. In time he overtopped them ! all. The learner rises above his competitors in all life ' s activities. He masters conditions be- cause he learns all about them. We sit at the feet of the public wherever we have stores, learning and posting ourselves of the needs of home and person as best we can. Diligently applying ourselves to the task of providing those needed when needed is the vir- tue to which may be traced much of the extraor- dinary development of this company. J. C. PENNEY CO.
