Of course, we ' re trying to be flip about it now but back in January when the cold night winds rattled every window on Third, we burned the mid- night oil in an earnest endeavor to write copy, copy and more copy. Daylight found us taking pictures — insulting sundry people as we went, with our severe requirements for models and our bad temperaments. If any portion of this book resembles anything else you have seen in print, it may be last year ' s LANTERN or the yearbook of any and all schools from which we could beg, steal, or borrow, but we assure you that any such resem- blance is purely intentional. No one is more aware than we that the 1941 LANTERN is different in form from those which have gone before; that it may be subject to a great deal of criticism. We hope that this will not be true, but that the changes will meet with the approval of the students for whom the yearbook is published. We want to express our sincere appreciation to all who have helped us make our yearbook what it is — to our ad- vertisers, and to the Welch Publishing Company, as well as to many who worked in cm unofficial capacity. To lead you through our little labyrinth we offer the following notes as a sort of guide sheet. Book One — Portraits of our administrators. Book Two — Graduating Seniors, struggling Juniors, cocksure Sophies, and bewildered (or more properly, bewildering) Frosh. Book Three — Student Life. Book Four — -Athletics in the spotlight, with skilled and unskilled labor. Book Five — presenting a new section, the Features. We hope you like it. THE STAFF rdmlnidtra tion I£. €. Womuck, B.A., M.A., LL. D. Lambuth was founded in 1924, and from that time for- ward, Dr. Richard E. Womack has served as president of the institution. He is highly educated, cultured, and a Christian man, and is regarded with respect and honor by all those with whom he is associated. Lambuth students have learned to look on him as a friend and leader, and as one in whose heart lives our motto: Whatsoever things are true. Jhe o i eanS M. E. Eagle, B.A. and M.A., besides being dean of the college, teaches his- tory with the zeal of a historian, and plays golf with the enthusiasm, if not the finesse, of Sammy Sneed. Lambuth is indeed enriched by the loyalty of this good man. Esther Lee, B.A. and M.A., is a new- comer to the Lambuth campus. She is dean of women and rules her girls with a firm hand. She is also Professor of Freshman English. Her hobby is em- broidering, and she can give you the lowdown on the latest and best books. Arthur D. Oxley, B.S. and M.A., dean of men, and professor of biology is a favorite on the college campus. He has a subtle sense of humor, and always answers a question with a question. Anyone who knows Mendel as he does is a wonder to us! DL sracu A v The Lambuth administration has ably led the college through another worthwhile session . . . the 17th of its existence. They added five new and valuable members to their list of faithfuls. Each and every member has had a part in the making of a college, and we don ' t mean a building. We mean a student body, a student body made up of individuals. Lambuth has a capable administrative organization, but the students know that their capacities lie not only in administrat- ing but also in acting, for once during the year they discarded their spectacles and their dignified apparel and donned over- alls and hair ribbons like the children of the little red school house. After that night, we felt we knew them better. So here ' s to an honored group. We pay tribute to them and their unselfish vocation. Pictures (reading across): A. M. Thomas, Ph.B., M.A., B.D.

Lloyd: No. Let ' s stay home and practice what he preaches. Mrs. Geeting: Oh, Doctor, what shall I do? My husband has the housemaid ' s knee! Doctor: Madame, I ' m just a doctor, not Dorothy Dix! Nance: Charlie, I hear you proposed to Mary Winifred in a terrific thunder- storm. Humphreys: Yeah. Those things always did scare me out of my wits. Mr. Wallick was touring Europe recently. He sent his daughters, Thelma and Hope, the following postcard: Dear Girls, On the other side you will see a picture of the rock from which the Spar- tans threw their defective children. Wish you were here . . . Your Dad. Charles Abrams, talking to a band director who was interviewing him: Yes, sir, I know I ' m qualified to lead the jazz section of an orchestra, because I ' ve had two nervous breakdowns, a bad case of coffee nerves, and I live in Epworth Hall. Helen Richardson: Are you looking for someone in particular? Spicer: Well, I ' m satisfied if you are. B. B. Austin: Look, Mr. Snipes! There ' s a piece of tin in my hash. Mr. Snipes: Certainly, mechanization of the modern age. The machine is everywhere replacing the horse. 12 a aSSeA s enior a add There are twenty-one graduating members of the class of 1941. All but four of these are students who have done their entire four years ' work in Lambuth. It is with the kindest thoughts of the Alma Mater that these seniors leave Lambuth ' s halls of learning. The autumnal sign, Libra, influences this class, the members of which have reached the harvest time of their college days. They are ardent, adventurous, alert, and versatile. It is written in the stars that they will be successful, though working against difficult odds. The class this year was ably led by Lloyd Ramer as President, Billy Greathouse as Vice-President, and Imogene Underwood as Sec- retary-Treasurer. May every Senior, living by the Balance, the protecting sign which hovers about this class, find life a good measure — pressed down — shaken together, running over. 14 Off, icers LLOYD RAMER, President IMOGENE UNDERWOOD, Secretary-Treasurer BILLY GREATHOUSE, Vice-President IMOGENE UNDERWOOD, B.A. Jackson, Tennessee Major: English Minor: French Omega Upsilon Lambda, (Secretary, 3, Vice-President, 4); Sigma Alpha Maid, 4; Dramatic Club, 1, 2, 3, 4, (Secretary -Treas- urer, 3); Phi Alpha Mu, 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Volunteers, 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3; Pep Club, 1, 2; Christian Movement Coun- cil, 1, 2, 3, 4; Les Jeunes Francois, 2, 3, 4, (President, 3, 4); Literary Forum, 3, 4; LANTERN Staff, 3, 4; Student Council, 3.

J unior a add Leo, the Lion, keeps a watchful eye over this crop during its grow- ing season. By the third year these students have learned to be ben- evolent human guide books to all newcomers, staunch and sturdy dependables to the faculty, and natural diplomats in organization meetings. People living under this constellation are ambitious, magnetic, bold, and proud. This year they are at the crossroads of life and the ambition for a sheep-skin will soon be fulfilled. This class boasts some excellent sportsmen and sportswomen, some musicans of note, and leaders in various campus organizations. The officers of this class are as follows: President, Jack Phelps; Vice- President, Eugene Johnston; and Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Evelyn Elder. 18 JACK PHELPS, President EVELYN ELDER, Secretary-Treasurer EUGENE JOHNSTON, Vice-President 19 MARY EVELYN ELDER Malvern, Arkansas EUGENE JOHNSTON Dell, Arkansas BELDON LANGDON Somerville, Tennessee MARY WINIFRED McRAE Camden, Tennessee MARY KATHRYN STOTT Brazil, Tennessee REX CLEMENT Humboldt, Tennessee JOE FREELAND Stanton, Tennessee MILDRED HARRIS Jackson, Tennessee MRS.

This constellation is filled with many double-stars of unusual brightness and like-wise this class abounds in noteworthy people. Its own class officers are: W. A. Nance, President; Enos Thurmond, Vice-President; and Carolyn Tanner, Secretary-Treasurer. One of the double-stars is Dub , who while editing the VISION, finds time to play a mean game of basketball. President of the Chris- tian Movement Council is Malcolm McMillan, who also served ably as Assistant Editor of the yearbook. On the LANTERN staff, too, was Patty Jean Matthews, who was elected football maid for the 1940 season. So we can readily see the brilliancy of this galaxy. With memories of the not-too-distant pangs of humiliation and suffering still fiendishly revolving in their craniums, the Sophomores initiated the beginners into the delights of paddle parties and the horrors of being a Froshie. 23 Off-, iceri W.

From orientation, this class showed unusual activity despite the trials which fell as thick and fast as snow flakes in the winter wind. They sang the Alma Mater; they learned the traditions; they adopted a step-and-fetch-it philosophy — fetching in the wake of the upperclass- men (when they couldn ' t help it). Class election took place early in the school year and a wise selection was made. The presidential chair was filled by Robert McGowan. Robert McMillan was chosen for Vice-President and Martha Frances Robbins for the position of Secretary-Treasurer. The Freshmen are still in the dormant stage and the constellation which governs this group is Capricornus, the governer of the winter months. The sign representing this zodiacal period is the goat, and rightly so. Just ask any Freshman if you don ' t believe itl 27 Off;. icerS ROBERT McGOWAN, President MARTHA F.

The traditional ceremony takes place on the front grounds where friends of the college come from miles around to witness the crowning of the May Queen. The May Pole dance is one of the most outstand- ing entertainments of the Queen ' s Court. It is a beautiful ceremony which is unforgetable. v c I OFF FOR A TOUCHDOWN! Captain Johnston proudly exhibits the traveling trophy, won by Lambuth this year in the Little Cotton Bowl game. Sports Sports at Lambuth are var- ied enough to suit the desires of every student. They range from less strenuous things like pingpong and archery, to such things as basket ball, tennis, and six-man football. Each fall a queen and two maids are elected by the football team to reign over the annual Home Coming Festivities. Lucky are the girls who receive this distinct honor. a f cinizcilionS ti Lambuth may look this year upon the achieve- ments of its Student Gov- ernment with a glow of pride, for President Charles Cosner has led us through a most successful year. Almost perfect re- sponse on Homecoming Day was perhaps the greatest single achieve- ment of the Cosner-Parker Administration. The es- tablishment of the Little Cotton Bowl game with its traveling trophy as an an- nual affair was another keystone. School spirit has had its ups and downs, but on the whole has stayed at a high point. Charles Cosner, Student Body President student (J-)ocli y Vetrano, Andrews, Sanders, demons, Langdon 50 Vice-President Parker presided ably over a co- operative student council.

It ' s a lot of fun, this working on an annual staff, but a great amount of work. Just ask anyone who visited the LANTERN room during the year. We mounted pictures, cut copy, and argued continually about who should have the last word. There were also some slight misunderstandings in regard to cer- tain staff members being pictured too often on these here pages, but the editor ' s resistance wanes about one A.M. If the 1941 annual brings pleasant memories in after years to Lambuth ' s present day students it will have accomplished its purpose. 52 Staff WeU embers Margaret Bell, Editor Harry Miller, Business Manager A.

The proverbial printed VISION is again with us. Leading the printed parade was W. A. Nance, man of many- talents. The thanks of the student body go out to Dub and others who have made this excel- lent paper possible. The VISION is published bi-monthly and covers the Lambuth beat. It reaches the students on alternate Mondays, and for at least five minutes the heads of the students are buried in headlines. It has been the policy of this staff to make the VISION worthy of its excellent name. To live and be a force for good it must fulfill its motto: The Voice of the Students. This year more than ever before it has been an organ of student opinion, and a means of student entertainment and en- lightenment. Jhe S la Associate Ed., Jim Partin Sports Ed., Bill Deavenport Asst.

Their purpose is to acquire a deeper appreciation and more thorough know- ledge of the best in literature. This year the club has made a historical study of the different periods in American literature. The Sponsor of this club is the English Professor, Miss Sarah V. Clement. The club meets one night a month to hear book reviews and papers, and to have a good time in general. Every member feels that this is a worth- while college activity, and takes advan- tage of it.

They meet one Tuesday night a month, con- versation is carried on in French, and a program is presented. Some time during the year every member takes part on the programs. Miss Katharine Clement, the French Professor, is the sponsor of the club. Under her guidance the club has grown and become an important one on the campus.

It is a national organization, Lambuth ' s chapter having been formed in 1929. The club meets twice a month, once for a short day-time business meeting and once for a social meeting where a paper is read or a speaker is heard, games are played and refreshments are served. The main event with which the Phi Alpha Mu concerns itself is the annual style show. Many friends of the college come to see the smart wear- ing apparel which is made and modeled by members of the clothing class. And indeed these girls do sew a fine seam. This year the club has had a new sponsor . . . Maurine Ensor ... of whom everyone seems to be fond. She has fitted in well at Lambuth and has done much to promote interest in professional home making.

One of the interesting features about the club this year was the presentation of two plays under student direction. The plays were Little Darling, and Frederick, produced by O. B. Emerson and Virginia Bishop, respectively. The biggest event of the year in the line of dramatics was the three act play, which was presented during the spring guarter, and was a distinct success. This club seeks to promote a wider knowledge and a more lasting interest in dramatic art.

On the Lambuth campus it is under the general direction of and cooperates with the Christian Movement Council. Their aim is to make Christianity practical. Meetings are held once a month in the home of the sponsor, Mrs. ]. R. Walker.

Dr. Shepherd spent two days at Lam- buth and made several addresses during her visit. The president, W. A. Nance, reports that this year has been a successful one for the club. The other officers are Helen Richard- son, Secretary-Treasurer, and Jack Phelps, Vice-President.

There are twenty-eight songsters in the group this year, fifteen town students, and thirteen dormitory students. Their activities are varied. They sing for services in churches all over the Memphis Conference, spreading music and good will for the Alma Mater. They also make an appear- ance each year at graduation and they, in their white vestments, add beauty of ap- pearance as well as tone to the ceremonies.

And whether it ' s during a pep meeting, a chapel program, or actually at the scene of the game, there ' s something about the blare of the horns and the roll of the drum that stirs the heart of every true Lambuthite and makes us cheer our heads off. There are sixteen members of the band, and Mr. Wallick, the band director, is well pleased with the success he has had with his group this year. They practice twice a week and can be heard throughout the building . . . they usually have an audience, too, which means we enjoy them.

Its membership consists of future ministers, missionaries, and others planning to de- vote full time to religious work. There were eighteen members on its roll this year, and each one is prominent on the college campus. The purpose of the Deputation Com- mittee is to bring together those who have chosen their life work in the field of religion, giving them an opportunity to prepare programs and learn to meet the difficulties which will beset them a few years hence, when their vocations actually begin. Under the direction of the Professor of Religion, J. R. Walker, the Deputation Committee has completed a successful year.

Under its jurisdiction come the Fellowship organization, the Deputation Committee, the Student Volunteers, and the Campus Church Relation Commit- tee. There are nine members of the Council elected from various groups on the campus. This year, the Council brought sev- eral distinguished visitors to Lambuth. Early in the year, Wyatt Jones, an outstanding young religious leader and thinker from Birmingham Southern, spent two days on our campus. Later, Kirby Page, world-famous lecturer and author spoke to the students and visi- tors. In February, Rev. Ted Hightower of Memphis, Trinity Church, conducted the young people ' s annual revival in Jackson. This year we think the Christian Movement Council has done a com- mendable piece of work and has left a solid foundation for the coming years. 67 iama rlpnu Vetrano A. M.

A. claims three of the most important VISION staff members and a member of the college publicity department. It is not correct, however, to think that their talents stop here, for they contribu- ted this year several outstanding sport stars in the fields of football, basketball and golf. The S. A.

Whether it ' s carrying the pigskin, waxing dramatic, working with publications or in religious groups, they just have to have a finger in the pie. This organization is just full of stars.

Through the years the organization has been an outstanding one. Theta Psi has this year lived up to its reputation of furnishing leaders on the campus. The student body president wears the white carnation of this fraternal order. This same person won TWO titles in the pop- ularity poll. Versatility is one of the characteristics of this group. They shine in football and basketball, where they furnished both captains this year. Other members are on the student publication staffs. And where there ' s a pep meeting, there ' s a cheer leader. This year, he, too is a Theta Psi. A wider variety of interests cannot be found anywhere on the cam- pus. The fact of their leadership attests the auality of their membership. 73 eta S iama Jwlphct Ensor Bridges McRae Warren A. B. Rawls Martin Marr Mayo Williams Phillips L. Rawles Mattox E.

Their pin is the shape of an unbalanced dia- mond, their colors are black and white, and their flower, the white rose. Intellect is one of the many things the B. S. A. ' s are noted for. When the grade curve is plotted each quarter, this organ- ization is always found near the top. They have in their midst outstanding leaders in the Literary Forum, the French Club, the Student Volunteers, the Dramatic Club, and on the Student Council. Out of the group also came one of the 1940 football maids.

The group chose a diamond shaped pin. Their colors are black and gold, and their flower, the talisman rose. Omega is the largest of campus social organizations and is outstanding for the many fields of activity in which its mem- bers take part. Several Omegas held prominent positions this year on the LANTERN and VISION staffs. Two pop- ularity poll winners wear the Omega pin, as do quite a few of the fraternity royalty. This organization was brought into the lime-light during Lambuth ' s Home- coming by winning the award for hav- ing the largest percentage of alumnae back for the celebration.

Their pin is trian- gular in shape, their flower the red rose. Where there ' s music on the campus, there ' s sure to be a Tau Delta. This group of pop- ular young ladies has done much to make the student body music conscious. In band con- certs or jam sessions you will nearly always find that the center of attraction is a beaming young lady wearing the greek letters TD . Of course the girls are outstanding in other ways, too. For example, in dramatics they furnish two of the top names and do a great deal in making the plays a success. Two T.D.

Coach Frank Cheney ' s charges opened the season in winning style, defeating the Martin Junior Col- lege gridsters of Pulaski by the score of 33-25. This game was played on Sherrod Field on a warm fall afternoon, with the Eagles displaying a formid- able six-man machine. Following the Martin Junior College game, the Eagles defeated the Bethel Corporals in Lam- buth ' s big Homecoming game at Roth- rock Stadium by a score of 26-22. Remember Harry Miller ' s dashing 70 yard jaunt that spelled the difference between victory and defeat for the Eagles? Who can forget it? Lambuth ' s two year unblemished record fell by the wayside when the Eagles lost to the U. T. Junior Vols at Martin on a very frigid night. The score was 44-32 in favor of Coach Paul Hug ' s men. The last game of the season was a return encounter with the Bethel Corporals at McKenzie. The bale of cotton, the trophy given to the winner of the Lam- buth-Bethel fracas, stayed in the hands of the Eagles, for the Cheney men came home victorious 27-20. It was a truly great season for the Eagles. Next sea- son may hold some surprises. The Eagles are looking for greener pastures and they may find them down New Orleans way. Coach Frank L.

Johnston, Center Gallagher, Quarterback Thomas, Fullback Captain Eugene Johnston was a fine leader for the blue and white. He was constantly in the opposing team ' s backfield and developed into a stellar center. Bill Gallagher played quarter- back last fall and demonstrated, on several occasions, his broken-field run- ning. C. B. Thomas, the freshman standout, was the ground-gainer for the half dozen. The busting bronko shat- tered the line and did yeoman work on backing up his own line on the defense. Dub Nance played end and helped to drag down those long passes. Jack Phelps, the Greenbrier boy , played end on the second team. He demon- strated his spirit and aggressiveness against the Bethel Corporals.

Roger Menzies, substitute center, had a hard man to beat for a starting berth - Captain Johnston. Nevertheless, this frosh will be looked upon to carry his share of next season ' s lineplay. Eugene Warlick, small in size but big in heart, clicked favorably. He played a good portion of the time in the back- field. Larry Jones was undoubtedly the best passer on the team. He played halfback and shared the passing as- signment with Thomas. The might- iest of the mights, Fred Budde, diminu- tive scat-back, was constantly in the thick of the fray. Fred had the distinc- tion of being the smallest man on the squad but also the fastest. Big Ellis Truett, while not tooting a sousaphone, found time to hold an end position and hold it well.

Several key players failed to answer Coach Cheney ' s bas- ketball call, others quit after the season got under way, then to top it off, the squad from time to time was hamper- ed with players being a-bed with the flu or colds. Despite the difficulties, the Eagles went to Nashville in March to the Mississippi Valley Conference tournament, won one of their games, and lost the other to David Lipscomb by a not too large score. Their im- portant achievement was the placing of two Eagles on the All M. V. C. Team. Eddy Vetrano and W. A.

He did a good part of the team ' s scoring and was a val- uable man on the defense. Freshmen Roger Menzies and Robert McGowan proved their worth during the season and led Eagle basketball enthusiasts to believe they will add greatly to Lam- buth ' s strength on the hardwood next winter. Eddy Vetrano reported to bas- ketball practice late but quickly earned a place on the first string as guard. He was recognized as the long shot artist of the team. Dub Nance, the high scorer of the Eagles, performed well this past season, doing most of his scoring from his pivot position. Gar- nett Thomas impressed all with his ability and is expected to add some scoring punch when basketball season returns. Vetrano, Guard Nance, Center Thomas, Guard J.

Jimmy earned the title of being one of the fastest men on the squad! Bill Gallagher was Coach Cheney ' s utility man. He opened the season at quarterback, shifted to right wing, played goalie for a short spell and wound up at a guard slot. Man- ager Frank Tomlinson, known to his intimates as Smiley , was the check- er on the squad. He not only checked the uniforms but checked the players as well.

Loftin, challenged the Lipscombites to a final meet to decide the champion- ship, the Nashvillians refused, so the Eagles had to be contented to be co- champions. Missing from last year ' s co-championship squad are three good men but with freshmen Robert Mc- Gowan, Roger Menzies, and Walton Chunn showing plenty of promise, the Eagles should be as tough as they have ever been.
