The 1942 LANTERN is published with a purpose. That purpose is to preserve in print and picture the ' 41- ' 42 session of Lambuth Col- lege. This year has been a happy one in ways but it has also been a sad one, for during this year our country has entered into a war. Some of our fellow students have been called to serve in the armed forces of the nation and others have enlisted in the reserve forces. Such losses have been keenly felt by the student body and yet we realize that we must make many sacrifices in the years to come. Those who are older than we have made the charge that we are soft — that we cannot stand up under responsibility and hardship. We believe that they have misjudged us and that in reality we can and will live up to the destiny that seems to be ours. In view of conditions, we of the LANTERN staff feel an added responsibility in presenting the 1942 LANTERN, for we realize that an annual which would catch the spirit of Lambuth College of this year would catch the spirit of youth in a world at war. So it was that we decided upon our theme for this year — that of stalwart and yet fun-loving knights. We knights of La mbuth dote on hilarity and pleasure but we are not afraid of work nor oblivious of the serious things of life. It is our hope that the ' 42 LANTERN may feel the pulse of college life in this critical year and crystalize it into permanent form so that in some future year you may draw up to your hearthside and taking this volume in hand, go back in your memory to those days when Lambuth was our home. If we are successful in this, our long and weary hours of work and hair-tearing will not have been in vain. You will probably find incorporated in this annual some ideas which you have seen in other books but we hope you will not criticize us for it for we have sought to use the best from the publications of sev- eral other colleges. This, alas, has been done at the expense of origin- ality, but who knows but that this is all for the better? For art inspira- tions we are indebted to Collier ' s Magazine ' s artist, Vernon Grant, who gave us the air which we sought for our art work. We hope that he won ' t mind our adaptations from his cover designs for our introductory pages. Well — Here it is! We sincerely hope that you like it. 5 The Staff. M, minidtrauon v. O. VUomcick J- ' resident From its very inception, the name of Lambuth College has been synony- mous with that of Richard Elwood Wo- mack. Any success it has attained must undoubiedly be attributed to this man who has so patiently through the years poured every iota of his being into the institution which today we proudly hail as our alma mater. In- deed incomprehensible the sacrifice and toil of this admirable scholar, and even more limitless the degree to which they have been responsible for Lambuth ' s meteoric rise in the aca- demic world. To those who are privi- leged to know him, Dr. Womack repre- sents an ideal, lofty and unattainable; yet practicality and expediency are the intrinsic characteristics of his pol- icy. To attempt to enumerate those qualities which endear him to us would be to aspire to infinity. So let it suffice to say that here is a Christian gentleman whose personality embod- ies a boundless galaxy of the cardinal virtues of mankind. Jhe cz i ectnS . o. o rxale B. A., M. A. Dean of the College Professor of History Here we doff our hats to an inspiring leader, a learned professor, and a con- formed disciple of an operative idealism. His individualism embodies all of the hardy virtues of the American frontiers- man. A sportsman of the first water, Dean Eagle believes firmly in interspers- ing work with a proper amount of rec- reation. His favorite piece of philosophy — Life always pays in kind. Xr. cdj. Jxie y B. S., M. A. Dean of Men Professor of Biology A modern version of Socrates is our Dean Oxley. Interrogative as he is lo- quacious, he makes his class hours inter- esting and informative with his clever witticisms. His fondest pastime is attend- ing the movies. A friendly counsellor, he is easily one of the campus ' most popu- lar personages, and rates ace-high in the hearts of the students. C mitu rradti v 9 s B. A., M. A. Dean of Women Professor of Social Science And now we salute our charming and congenial Dean Hastings. Impartial, just and efficient, she fulfills her duties in a manner which defies description. Her favorite avocation is knitting, in which she is quite adept. An alumna of Lam- buth, she feels a real interest in her alma mater. Cora B. Griffing, M.S., M.A. Business Administration and Psychology- Here is one who presents an unusual Dmbination of worthy attributes. Erudite, :holarly and academically honest, she is addition sociable, practical and versa- le. Her classes are both enjoyable and lformative, and she leaves an indelible repression on her students. Lyle Bauguess, B.S., M.S., Ph.D. Chemistry Another new arrival to the fac- ulty, Dr. Bauguess has carved for himself a niche in our institution. Prima-facie evidence of his mas- tery of the realm of the sciences is seen in the degree he possesses, and his unguenchable thirst for even greater learning is attested by his constant presence in the li- brary and laboratory. J. R. Walker, A.B., A.M. Religion and Greek In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Dr. Walker not only knows the Scriptures; he believes them, and, moreover, he practices the life they teach. He derives the fullest measure of satisfaction from his career of serv Frederick Q. Friedmann, D.Litt, Ph.D. Philosophy A real gem is Dr. Friedmann. Lambuth is indeed fortunate to possess a faculty member of so wide and varied experience. A native of Germany, Dr. Fried- mann has studied extensively in many countries and is widely lauded as an authority on world politics. dLambuth d Here we pay humble tribute to Lambuth ' s most capable faculty and their lives of unstinting service. It isn ' t a large faculty— but it is nonetheless one which is well prepared to acquaint us with those principles which will en- rich and enable our lives. Not only do they impart the more abundant life to Arthur E. Evans, A.B., A.M. Modern Languages Undoubtedly one of Lambuth ' s most beloved characters is Mr. Evans. Diligent as he is con- scientious, kind and courteous, Pop , as he is affectionately known, is an integral part of the college set-up. In addition to his curricular duties, he serves as editor of the Lambuth News- Letter. Otto Waldner Music A newcomer to the campus is Prof. Waldner or Otto , as he prefers to be addressed. Besides being a most outstanding man in his field, he is a popular favorite with undergraduates, who have made his adjustment to American customs infinitely less tedi- ous and protracted. 10 Katherine Clement, A.B., A.M. French and Latin Here is one whose rare charm and versatility have made her an indisputable place in Lambuth activities, curricular and other- wise. A delightful companion, she is a familiar figure in social gatherings, and serves as spon- sor for several campus organiza- tions. y us through the medium of academic processes; they exemplify it in their own daily existences. Perhaps we do not show apprecia- tion for our faculty suffi- ciently, but we hope that we may at this time be permitted to accord to them some, measure of the lofty esteem which they so justly merit. H. L. Palmer, B.S., A.M. Business Administration Amiable, affable, personable — these are the words for our Sguire . Whether in the class- room, in the lobby, or o n a social occasion, he is always the same — an interesting con- versationalist, a friendly coun- sellor, and a true friend. Francis M. Pulliam, A.B., A.M. Mathematics and Physics A man truly possessed of a variety of exemplary virtues is Mr. Pulliam, popularly dubbed The Green Arch- er . He has few peers in realm of numbers and none at all in the es- teem of those who know him. For di- version, he turns to his trusty bow and arrow, in the use of which he is quite proficient. ' - IlffifiilTtf Sarah V. Clement, A.B., A.M. English One of Lambuth ' s oldest faculty members from the standpoint of serv- ice is Miss Sarah V. Clement. Her mastery of literature is excelled only by her striking originality and match- less personality. Mere words could never do her justice. Ruth Marr, B.S. in Ed., A.M. Education and Psychology Quiet and unassuming, Miss Marr usually to be found in her office, and al- ways in the pursuance of her affairs. Her mastery of psychology gives her a rare insight into students ' problems. Cer tainly here is an admirable example of unselfish devotion to duty. Mrs. A. M. Thomas Home Economics Though a recent addition to the Lambuth staff, Mrs. Thomas! has for some time been a member of the college family , and is certainly no novice at the culinary art. Sparkling wit and a kind appreci- ation of adolescent youth can be said to characterize this excellente femme. 11 A. M. Thomas, Ph.B., A.M., B.D. Business Manager And now the man who makes things tick. It is he who collects our shekels semi-quarterly and parcels them out among the college ' s credi- tors. In addition he assumes an ac- tive part in the institution ' s scholastic and social life. Matie Fletcher Secretary to the President Efficient, reserved, businesslike — these adjectives seem to us most apropos for Miss Matie , as we know her. Though thoroughly absorbed in her duties, she always has a cheery smile and pleasant words for visitors in her office. Mrs. Robert McGowan Matron, Epworth Hall The loftiest tribute we can possibly pay to Ma Mac is to say that she makes Epworth a real home to male residents. Cheerful, trustworthy and dutiful, she cares for her boys in a manner which defies wording. Helen M. Womack, A.B. Registrar and Home Economics Student problems of any na- ture soon become Miss Wo- mack ' s problems. In fact they occupy a major portion of her time. Sympathetic, understand- ing and devoted to her duties, Helen always finds a way , whether the difficulty is one of registration or one of nipping stitched seams. Frank L. Cheney, A.B. Physical Education A consummate devotee to clean sports and unsubsidized athletics, Coach Cheney concentrates his whole- hearted attention on making Lambuth well-represented in the sporting world. He has been a pioneer in the rise of six man football, and his teams have twice achieved national champion- ships. David Franklin Snipes Dietitian Foremost among Mr. Snipe ' s dut- ies is the feeding of the hungry nouths — and he takes his job seri- ously. He can usually be found in the kitchen devising some delect- able appetizer. His indispensabilty to the welfare of the college is un- guestioned. 12 ««A 1 i ? 1 1 M K BUS i p •ml j - added Vi p v w e S 4 14 REX CLEMENT, B. A.

A large share of our success for the year is due to the sincere and capable efforts of the members of the Judicial Committee. In achievement of pur- poses, maintenance of Student Body Government and discipline, whole- hearted cooperation with the Administration, living up to Lambuth ideas and loyalties, and last — but foremost — i in continuing the two preceding years of truly successful stu- dent cohesion and coor- dination, President Ve- trano has carved for him- self and for us, a place in the annals of our col- lege worthies.

Our en- tire student body associa- tion can be fittingly des- cribed by only three words which we should remember as our future indexes of action — unity, loyalty, and cooperation. Vice-President Clement has proved an able co-worker and his guidance and efficiency as a stu- dent body official helped to make the Vetrano-Clement Administra- tion the success that is proved by looking back over the events of the year and their outcome.

O. B. Emerson, Business Mana- ger, did exceedingly well this year in managing the business end of the 1942 annual. He and his staff secured more ads than have ever before been obtained in the history of the Lantern. m In choosing the theme of knighthood for your annual, the LANTERN Staff hopes you won ' t think we were confused with the Dark Ages. For in these pages, we have tried to depict the fun-loving knight, the modern call-to-arms, so that in fu- ture years you ' ll remember college days and that guy who slept in the seat next to you . . . time fugited as Mac and Becky worked laboriously with pictures, ideas, and staff mem- bers; O. B. and his assistants so efficiently managed the finan- cial status that now every organization is either broke or badly bent. Katy and all her assistants diligently organized the class section. Margaret with the help of her cohorts wrote copy and mounted pictures to a fare-thee-well. Millie, as edi- torial assistant, trimmed many a pencil and started over again. Beldon and Evelyn, with the help of photographers, caught the Eagles in action and recorded their achievements throughout the year. The art editor ' s results are evident from cover to cover. And our LANTERN would never have flickered had it not been for our photographic schedule assistants and typists. And now, after the brawl is over and the LANTERN has become a reality, we leave it to you to determine whether we deserve a seat of honor at the Round Table, or just put i in an order for that Last Meal.

But the VISION is not merely a cog in the wheel of student government. It is also a treasure of choice gossip and dirt. On Friday mornings, immediately following chapel, the entire student body can be found draping themselves on tables and benches to absorb the visionary contents. Under the able editorship of Dub Nance, who not infre- quently tore his hair in the wee small hours of the morning (Friday morning, incidentally) the VISION took form. Roger Cameron was a valuable assistant and his interesting editor- ials were indeed an asset to the publication. One might say the VISION this year was a triple threat, for we had three sets of doubles — Nancy ' n Nancy, society editors; Bill and Bill, sports editors; Ginny and Ginny, report- ers. Other members of the staff, both literary and business, did their part in making the nightmare (I quote the editor) become a VISION. Staff Editor-in-chief W. A.

S tudent Uolunteerd The eighteenth annual session of Lambuth College marked another in a long line of successful years of the Student Volunteer movement. This organ- ization, whose purpose is to help students see the practicality of Christianity, meets once a month in the home of its sponsor, Mrs. J. R. Walker. The officers for the year, Allyce Darnell, President; Robert McMillan, Vice-president, and Virginia Bishop, Secretary-Treasurer, have as- sumed the leadership of the group with cap- ability and dignity. As the aim for the year, the members by free will offerings are furnish- ing a scholarship for a Chinese student. The programs of the Student Volunteers, besides presenting interesting outside speakers, give students an opportunity for active participa- tion and training. We heartily commend the Student Volunteers for their splendid work both on the campus and off. |p% Mrs. J. R.

The Deputation Committee is one of the oldest and most successful organizations on the campus. Its purpose is to afford an opportunity to these young Crusaders to meet together and plan and discuss programs for present and future use. The Deputation Committee this year has provided splendid chapel pro- prams and speakers for various religious meetings throughout the Memphis Conference. Again we are grateful to the Deputation Committee, under the guidance of J. R. Walker, for its immeasurable benefaction to the religious activity.

Not in picture, Malcolm McMillan. : The Christian Movement Council is a student group which was organized for the pur- pose of direction and co-ordination of all religious activities and functions on our campus. Resting under the jurisdiction of the aforementioned are the Fellowship group, the Deputation group, the Deputation Committee, the Student Volunteers, and the Campus Church Relations Committee. The Council is composed of nine members who are elected from various cam- pus groups. As a portion of its duties the Council brings each year to our campus distinguished and eminent visitors who do their bit in en- lightening student minds on various sub- jects relating to general topics and religion. Students will remember many of the personalities with whom the Council has brought us in contact, and the role that these people have played in bringing us messages which are ineffacable in our col- lege history of events.

Lambuth ' s Phi Alpha Mu is an organization to instruct and advance Betty Co-Ed in the essentials of Home Economics and it is amazing how Joe College goes in for this type of knowledge. Phi Alpha boasts many beneficial additions this year in- cluding two new sponsors, Mrs. A. M. Thomas and Miss Helen Womack.

Its members, though having varied interests, make up a group that strive not only for the welfare of the Tau Delta but for the good of Lambuth as a whole.

The Eagles began their victory charge with a well-earned 12-0 triumph over their arch- rivals, the Bethel College Corporals of McKen- zie. This was a fitting climax to Lambuth ' s annual Homecoming festivities. Next hapless victim of our Ferocious Fowls were the Volunteers from U. T. Jr. College of Martin, who were completely routed to the tune of 37-0. Our stalwart standard-bearers followed this conquest by eking out a pressure-raising, pulse-perturbing 20-18 success for their second win over the Corporals of Bethel.

In the picture at left the 1942 edition of boys ' tennis presents a somewhat lackadaisical, although cheerful, appearance, n ' est-ce pas?

Possessor of a very red smeller, after this deluge of racguet wielding, was this same David Lipscomb outfit. The result was another championship added to our long list of the same. This season, with Walton, McGowan, Phelps and Menzies returning from last year ' s net wars, our new team promises to continue our tradition, or at least to cause much disturbance of the heart in the camps of our rivals. An addition to the group for this year is Larry Jones, a promising new man who in recent seasons has spent much time on the courts.

V. C. Championship all alone, the girls arose in group form to take for themselves a conference title also. This year the girls, like the boys, promise to give a good account of themselves in the ' 42 net campaign. We may be sure that racquets, wielded by faire femme hands, will be driving the white, round objects to all corners of the designated layout. Of last year ' s team we Lambuthites are blessed by the return of three veterans of the court, namely — Sally Witherspoon, Maxine Williams, ' and Lucile Bridges. Two other girls to join the current outfit are Anne Leeper and Annie Kath- ryn Goddard.

Interest was not long in responding to the stimulus fur- nished in the form of this new group and its personnel, and additions have been made to its roster this year. Our prediction is a substantial gain in membership and activity of this neo- phyte organization. Our athletic teams deserve the best of recognition other than merely in the form of student support.
