CAROLINE SHARP Director of LANTERN Travel Bureau RAYMOND HAMMOND Assistant Director of LANTERN Travel Bureau RHEA SMITH Business Manager of LANTERN Travel Bureau A. D. OXLEY Advisor to LANTERN Travel Bureau m vmm Bishop Walter Russell Lambuth 1924 THE SPIRIT OF LAMBUTH Nothing adds more to the beauty of scenes than traditions that link them to the past. Lambuth has such traditions, for the spirit and ideals that have impelled its founding and its growth first took definite form in 1843 when the Memphis Conference became interested in the Memphis Conference Female Institute, which served until 1920. In 1924, by an amendment to the old charter, its successor took its place and was named for Bishop Walter Russell Lam ' buth, with the hope that his consecration to the service of humanity and his unceasing efforts to bring about the brother ' hood of man would live on in the institution bearing his name. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away. — Henry Ward Beecher Through the years the new college has developed in accord with its name and its motto, Whatsoever things are true. This year Lambuth looks into the future more steadfastly than ever before as its spirit is carried throughout the Memphis Conference by the crusade under the leadership of its president, Dr. R. E. Womack, and Bishop U. V. W. Darlington. May the aims and ideals which characterise the man for whom it is named and those who now guide its destiny form deeper roots as the sturdy new trunk grows steadily above them! 133B Bishop U. V. W. Darlington Dr. R. E. Womack amtttttt A glimpse of Epworth Hall from the south entrance. The Administration Building viewed from the south drive.

Wotnack PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE The worth of a college should not be measured by its size and physical assets, but by the purposes and aims that dominate its program and by the atmosphere that pervades its campus life. In a word, the spirit of a college is the proper measure of its worth. What is the Spirit of Lambuth? In the first place, it is the spirit of reverent inquiry. It encourages its students to seek for whatever things are true in all the realms of their lives and reverently follow wherever truth leads, to the end that they may be made free. In the second place, it is the spirit of helpfulness. The college constantly strives to help worthy students find solutions not only for their financial problems, but for all the problems vitally affecting their lives. Prompted by a sense of social responsibility, the students themselves manifest in their campus and community relationships a fine spirit of service. Life-sharing is a fixed principle of conduct in our Lambuth family. And, finally, the Spirit of Lambuth is a spirit of friendliness. One cannot walk through the campus or into the college halls without feeling this. Our alumni and former students are always glad to come back to renew friendships formed in earlier years. Thi6 is one of the richest possessions one can acquire in college — enduring friendship with kindred souls. This is the Spirit of Lambuth — the spirit of reverent inquiry, of helpfulness and of friendliness. May each of you carry a full measure of it with you throughout all the days of your life! 11 • , : .■.; M i ■ ' ' ■■; :, .; ■ MARVIN E. EAGLE A.B., MA.

It played a very prominent part in the Lambuth College Crusade this year by showing many audiences throughout this section the high cultural attainment of Lambuth students.

Basketball season was almost in full swing when they were given the job of leading two teams that have always ranked at the top of the M. V. C. Without their ability Lambuth basketball would have met with no success during the season. They were able to meet the demands that were sud- denly placed on them in a way which has made every Lambuth student proud of them. Yet even they could not have brought about the results that they did without the calibre of the men with which they worked — Lambuth has never had a team of which she could be prouder! A quintet has never gone on a basketball court with more drive. Every man was ready to put out all that he had. There was not a slacker in the bunch. At the beginning of the season it seemed that there was a lack of team work, but as the season went on and they became used to playing together, they worked smoothly together. Lambuth ' s team also provided a series of thrills for their fans. They heard rumors that the Freed-Hardeman Lions were coming to Jackson for a killing. The Eagles rose in fury. After the game the Lions were glad to say that they were able to eke out a three point victory. In the M. V. C. tournament Lambuth drew the mighty David Lipscomb Bisons, whom they had formerly beaten. At the last minute it was found that two varsity men, Mills and White, could not play, and two men from the freshman squad were recruited. In the face of these odds the Eagles forced the Bisons into an extra period which they lost by only one point. Lambuth also placed one man, Charles Phelps, on the all M. V. C. team. Lambuth ' s letter men for the year were: Captain Marcus Gurley, Bob White, Charles Phelps, Buddy McDaniel, James Parham, Webster Kelley, and Buddie Mills. Eaglettes While the Eaglettes lost the Mississippi Valley Conference Championship after holding it for four successive years, they stamped themselves as being one of the gamest teams that ever wore the Blue and White. From the first of the season it seemed that bad luck hounded the Eaglettes. Bill Martin, stellar guard, was out with a twisted knee. At a crucial moment Inez McBryde was taken ill. The Eaglettes were thus deprived of two of their strongest players in several games. Yet such a handicap never daunted the courage of this plucky team. They courageously faced some of the country ' s best wom en ' s teams without flinching. The stronger the opposition the harder they fought. They held the Galveston team of all American to a ten point margin in two games. This looked good in comparison with the 33 to 3 drudging that Galveston gave Draughon ' s Business College. The Eaglettes had the same heart breaking experience at the tournament that the Eagles had. They played the rangy Draughon ' s team in the finals. For four quarters the two teams raced basket for basket, the regular game ending with the score tied 30-30. That three minute play-off was fatal, the Mississippi sextette scoring and then holding the ball, winning 34 to 33. Letter winners were: Captain Louise Haskins, Mildred Spivey, Jimmie Dew, Maxine Burnette, Onorine Burnette, Fannye Barlow, Bill Martin, and Inez McBryde. 79 BASEBALL Just Before the Game Prospects for a winning nine are the best in years for Lambuth. They have a veteran battery, Patt Webb, pitcher and Junior Thomas and Charles Butler, catchers. Also out for mound duties are Chick DeBree and Ford Haynes. The infield finds a veteran combine of Kelley, Phelps, and White returning, while a battle royal is expected for outfield positions. Promising freshman recruits are Fussell, Ward, and Pitts. Games are booked with Vanderbilt, Delta State, and the usual MVC lineup of teams. T ine Men in a Row! m Warm Up ' . Loo Out Fielders! 80 TENNIS RESUME Lambuth has always had good tennis teams. In fact, the Lambuth net forces have captured the MVC flag for seven years. This year ' s prospects are good with practically all of last year ' s group returning. Games are carded with Vanderbilt, David Lipscomb, Freed-Hardeman, Alabama State, and several other tenta- tive games have been booked. Letter winners returning: Walter Thomas, Charles Phelps, James Hillis Allen, Jimmie Dew, Marjorie Swift, and Bill Martin.

It has succeeded in this purpose in a manner that has brought favorable comment from groups not only on the campus but off of it as well. The students have placed their loyal support behind the work of this organization. They have felt that it represented them both on home and foreign courts. The Pep Club, however, has not only aided in backing sports, but it has also started a general feeling of school consciousness that has been felt in other fields of school activity. It is hoped that this fine spirit of cooperation will continue throughout the years to come. COFFMAN MITCHELL, Cheer Leader 82 Bowling, bowling over the bound ' ing green! A wicked shot! Game! Love!

INTftAMURALS XH B ' AoA oOD : £ One day, when the sun was shining brightly and the air was balmy with spring, Kid Garrett and E. Crowe took up their fishing tackle (cameras) and adjourned to that lake of all lakes, the Lambuth fish pond. It seemed to be a good day because one bite came after another, but these fish were of some rather strange varieties. You will see pictured here in these pages some of the odd specimens that were captured. DEFINITIONS All the world ' s a stage and all the women are leading men.
