Y w , i ' L- , . ' _if: •-■• Une J antern 1944 LAMBUTH COLLEGE Jackson, Tennessee i s q D D O N DR. S. R. NEEL. JR. We pay tribute to a man of sterling char- acter, a true gentleman, a friend. Through his tireless efforts, he has sought to enrich the spirit of Lambuth. Through his loyalty and his spirit of service, he has made for himself a place in the hearts of all who have known him. To such a man, we, the 1943-1944 Lantern Staff dedicate this book. 1 LD2 C FOREWORD In keeping with the spirit of the times, this edition of the LANTERN is streamlined. For a while it looked as though we would not have a LANTERN for 1943-44. That would never have done! A few volunteers rallied to the cause — others followed, and here you have the result. Although a rush program was necessary, we sincerely hope that we have in some measure succeeded in preserving for your future pleasure some of the happy times and pleasant associations of the year. If we have succeeded, all of our frenzied efforts and late hours have not been in vain. Despite all the difficulties, the staff has endeavored to enrich the tradition and memory of Lambuth. To this end we have made a diligent effort to reflect the personality and integ- rity of the students and faculty whose cooperation made the LANTERN possible. To them all we shall ever be grateful. We appreciate the permission given us by J. B. Lippincott Company, Publishers, to use ideas frcm Ray Wood, American Mother Goose as a theme for the year book. We also want to thank those advertisers who are reprasented. We, the LANTERN Staff present to you the 1943-1944 edition of the LANTERN. We hope you like it!

WOMACK, B.A., M.A., LL.D. We are always eager to pay tribute to our President. One is impressed by his practical Christianity which he lives before us daily. We admire his courage and patience in the face of difficulties. We think of him as a scholar; an educator whose integrity has given Lambuth her scholastic prestige. We like his rare Arkansas sense of humor that he has retained. We recognize in him that simplicity which is the mark of true great- ness. uhe Juean M. E. EAGLE, B.A., M.A. Dean of College Professor of History His forthright personality makes him a strong influence among students. He is great as a teacher of history. He is greater as a teacher of life. His homespun philosophy of life has made a unigue place for him in each of our hearts. WILMA STANLEY, B.A., B.S. Dean of Women Professor of Mathematics Her genial disposition has made her a favor- ite with all who know her. Her efficiency and dependability command the admiration of all. A. D. OXLEY, B.A., M.A. Dean of Men Professor of Biology A man whose manner invites your confi- dence; whose wisdom and understanding guali- fies him as an advisor. Une faculty. The Lambuth Administration has led the college through its twentieth successful year with much of the understanding, foresight and patience that endears them to us all. Each one has had a part in making Lam- buth what it has been this year. They have noted the absence of those who would have ordinarily been here and have tried to help us carry on with- out them in the most wholehearted way possible. There have been three new additions to the faculty this year, Mrs. Pool, Miss Raulins, and Miss Stanley. Each of them has been a worthy addition to the list of the faithful and have found a warm spot in our hearts. None of us can ever forget the faculty meeting that was made public to all of us. So here ' s to a group who through their unselfishness and loyalty com- mand the tribute and respect of all of us. S. R. NEEL, JR. B.A., Ph.D. Religion AUDREE M. THOMAS Ph.B., M.A., B.D.

School of ideals, of sunlight, and song; Though afar from thy campus removed, Still our hearts shall for thee ever long. Chorus Sweet, thy memories, thy fond recollections Tis the dear school that gave us our worth; How you hold, college dear, our affections, Alma Mater, the fairest on earth! May our colors, the white and blue stream- ing, Our emblems of love and of truth, Be as sunlight upon our path beaming, Dear in age as they now are in youth. O Lambuth, where ' er life may lead us. In sorrow, or sunshine, or joy, Thy motto shall still be our watch word Thy praises our tongues shall employ. Cla££e£ President: Margaret Pope Vice-President: Carbilene Gardner Secretary-Treasurer: Martha Frances Robbins You ' ve got your schooling done up brown Now take this diploma and go to town. SENIORS These Seniors are about to assume their places in a different sort of world. They are going out in a time of crisis. May they have incorporated into their way of thinking the Dean ' s histor- ical attitude; Mr. Oxley ' s scientific methods of approach; Miss Marr ' s recipe for problem solving; Miss Sarah V. ' s quiet culture; and the same theme often referred to by Dr. Womack — What- soever things are true. If they have, though they work against difficult odds, it ' s a bet that they succeed. The class has as its capable leaders Margaret Pope, presi- dent, Carbilene Gardner, vice-president, Sis Robins, secre- tary-treasurer. Out of their small number, they have furnished many of the student body officers and leaders. 12 CARBILENE GARDNER Fulton, Kentucky Major: English Minor: History Tau Delta 2, 3, 4.

JUNIORS The 1944 Juniors, having survived two years of action, ac- tivities and accidents, are found much in evidence again this year, doing their assignments, curricular, and extra-curricular, with a never failing reasonableness and fortitude. Realizing that two tempestuous years were behind them, they labored this year with a deep sense of satisfaction in knowing that with the passing of this, another year, they would be even nearer their goal. So they have devoted themselves whole-heartedly to helping make Lambuth what it is, at the same time, steeling themselves for the year ahead when they will don the caps, gowns, and solemnity, characteristic of those whose seats they will fill on the west side of the chapel. They have been capably led by Ira Johnson, President; Martha Davis, Vice-President; and Patty Jolly, Secretary and Treasurer. They have also some noteworthy musicians, college personalities, and leaders of campus organizations of which to boast. 14 IRA JOHNSON Jackson. Tenn. PATTY JOLLEY Jackson, Tenn.

SOPHOMORE CLASS Having survived the agonies experienced during its fresh- man year and the loss of many of its worthiest members, the Sophomore class has this year carried on in an altogether admir- able way. After all, these sophomores had something to live up to, for many of them remember the title the upperclassmen so begrudgingly bestowed on them last year — The best Fresh- man class Lambuth College ever had. They still have much the same spirit, loyalty, and ingenuity so evident last year. They chose as their leaders: Lawrence Farrow, President; George Vaughn, Vice-President; and Coleen Jolley, Secretary and Treasurer. Also among their numbers are found some of Lambuth ' s best athletic, musical, and dramatic talent. 16 GLADYS RIDDICK Maury City, Tennessee KELTON CUFF Camden, Tennessee BERNICE PEARIGEN Camden, Tennessee MARY TORII Memphis, Tennessee SARAH ANN LANKFORD Jackson, Tennessee GERALDINE McCORMACK Corinth, Mississippi EVA MAY HUNT Jackson, Tennessee LAWRENCE FARROW Bells, Tennessee HELEN GILBERT Obion, Tennessee EDNA ANN FAIRES Greenbrier, Tennessee VERLIE MAIE BUTLER Bells, Tennessee JUANITA PAFFORD McLemoresville, Tennessee EMILY SHARP Jackson, Tennessee FRANCES WEAVER Jackson, Tennessee S.

And everywhere that Mary went That lamb was sure to go. FRESHMEN An incorrigible but precocious bunch, these Freshmen. Finding themselves in the majority, they took things in hand and turned the tables during Hell-week. For the traditional Chil- dren ' s Day program, the upper-classmen had the painful experi- ence of hearing forty-five versions of Mary Had a Little Lamb. So talented are these Freshmen, however, that they have reflected credit upon themselves and the college. The most popular boy in school was chosen to lead them — Johnny Miller. No wonder they have had a successful year! 18 ELEANOR WEBB LEIGERS Union City.

DEPUTATION COMMITTEE No other organization has done more to foster good will toward Lambuth than have the Deputa- tion Teams that have gone out over the Conference this year. They have provided well planned and varied programs in almost every community. These young people have done these communities a real service and have had real opportunities to develop leadership by having experience in Church work in the field. The Committee meets twice a month for pro- grams and to study the practical Church problems of both ministers and laymen. The Committee is directed by Dr. S. R. Neel in cooperation with the Memphis Conference Youth Director, Rev. W. C. Moore and Miss Emily Hastings. S. R. NEEL, JR. Sponsor 41 Top Row -Dr. Neel, L. Dickerson, W. McSwctin, V. Bove, J.

WILMA STANLEY Sponsor STUDENT VOLUNTEERS The aim of the Student Volunteers is to make Christianity- practical. It is an organization of international scope and is made up of students of all creeds, denominations, and races. It is under the direction of the Christian Movement Council. Meetings are held monthly with Mrs. Margaret May Pool and Miss Wilma Stanley as sponsors. The theme of the pro- grams of the year has been Kingdom of God. Student Volunteers members have done volunteer work at the City Mission. They brought to the Campus Mr. Kwoh, a Chinese speaker, in behalf of the World Student Service Fund. The response of the student body to this movement surpassed that of recent years. Carbilene Gardner has really done outstanding work as president. 42 E. Hastings, C. Gardner, K. Cuff, F. Weaver, L.

Sponsor CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT COUNCIL The Christian Movement Council is a student organization which directs and coordinates the pol- icies of the religious agencies on the Campus — the Fellowship Group, Deputation Committee, Student Volunteers, and Campus Church Relations Commit- tee. It is sponsored by Dr. S. R. Neel. This Council sponsored Religious Emphasis week with Dr. J. W. Workman as guest speaker. This was a very meaningful week in the College year. 43 M. J. Tucker, J. Dismuke, E. Webb Leigers, T. Hilliard Phi cAlpha Atu Phi Alpha Mu is a national organization for the advance- ment and promotion of Home Economics. The Lambuth Chap- ter was organized in 1929. It has long been recognized that the Phi Alpa Mu girl makes a better wife than one who spends a lot of time lolling around the drugstore, for these girls not only get and hold their men, through the preparation of rare delicacies, but also sew a fine seam. In their newly deco- rated rooms they have had many successful meetings. HELEN WOMACK Sponsor Standing — B. Bond, M.-J. Tucker, T. Hilliard, N. Smith, E. Webb Leigers, M. Blacknall, F. Jones, V.

Hunt— That amuses me. Miss Wells — Oh!! I have a new moron joke. The passer-by peered anxiously into the man- hole. Don ' t tell me, he cried, that you fell in there! Up from the depths came a voice. Of course not, fool. I just happened to be here and they built the street around me. Helen — Is it true that Mary Cooke has a secret sorrow? Glad — Why, sure, hasn ' t she told you about it? Lament of Warren McSwain: Latin is a dead language. As dead as it can be, First it killed the Romans, And now it ' s killing me. Dean — What did Paul Revere say at the end of his famous ride?

Mary Belle This isn ' t Mable either, but come on over anyway. I found the following poem in a Sophomore ' s biology: Before I heard the doctors tell the dangers of a kiss, I had considered kissing you — the nearest thing to bliss. But now I know biology, and sit and sigh and moan; Six million mad bacteria — and I thought we were alone. Mr. Barron — Where were you last night, son? Mallet — Oh, just ridin ' around with some boys. Mr. Barron — Well tell them not to leave their hairpins in the car next time. Patty — Coleen went to an astrologer to find out the best time to be married. Leeper — What did he say? Patty — Oh, he took one look at her and told her to grab the first chance.

Lippincott Co., New York. 54 |_,K£ THE FBJJfl SAID TO THE OLD Sprrfootf tyAStf A ML THE T mf Os OUR SERVICE MEN At the beginning of this session, all of us, who were members of the 1942-43 student body, noticed the conspicuous absence of many of our boys who ordinarily would have been present. Even the freshmen realized that some- thing was missing. Of course, all of us realize that these fellows who have gone into the service, are out there preparing themselves and others to better serve our country in time of war. We miss them. Each and every day, something brings them to our minds, but just the same we ' re proud of them, of the success they ' ve made in their particular capacities, of the fact that they ' re all loyal red-blooded Americans, worthy of praise. So here ' s wishing them the best of everything and hoping the day will come soon when they can return to us. 3n the Service of Our Country, HO HORACE LEE ADAMS JAMES ATTERBURY BILLIE BOB AUSTIN J.
