Lambuth College - Lantern Yearbook (Jackson, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1945 volume:

Une J antern 1945 Lambuth College, Jackson, Tennessee September of 1944 found Lambuth College acutely aware of the serious- ness of the time and of the war-time trends of modern education. As the year progressed we have all been conscious of the changes which have been made as the college has assumed its role in an everchanging picture. Most noticeable perhaps is the decreasing percentage of male students, and it is with these former students in mind — these soldiers, sailors, and marines — that we have prepared the 1944-45 Lantern. Because we miss them, and because we want them to know it, we have tried to capture something of the spirit of Lambuth in these pages so that they, as well as the present student body, may experience some pleasure from these glimpses of campus life. As they serve our country in their respective capacities, may it please them to know that Lambuth College is maintaining the high standards it has always held, and that it is continuing to prepare its students for the world which is evolving from present day events and the one which we will help to build. We, the staff, have enjoyed our part in preparing this edition of The Lantern. We hope you like it! ? 7 CONTENTS c4dminUtration 3eature£ Student Jjge Organiza tion£ 3n the service o Our Country, c4avertUement£ L02932 .L25 1 9 45 D D A T I O N EMILY HASTINGS One of the most interesting and congenial personalities we have ever known is one who has done much for the college first as a student, then as a faculty member. Her vitality, capability, and untiring interest are respon- sible for the high esteem in which she is held by students and faculty members alike. In appreciation of all she means to Lambuth — to Miss Emily Hastings we affectionately dedicate the 1944-45 edition of the Lantern. R D N R. E. WOMACK, B.A., M.A., LL.D. Since Lambuth College was founded in 1924 Dr. Richard E. Womack has rendered an illimitable service in the capacity of president of the institution. During these years he has labored faithfully and courageously to maintain the high stan- dards of scholarship and character which the college has always stood for. He is truly a Christian gentleman, and by his quiet dignity and gentle culture he commands our admira- tion, respect, and affection. He personifies Lambuth to alumni and students. uhe 2)ean£ M. E. EAGLE,, B.A., M.A. Dean of College Professor of History Whether it ' s a problem of history or an over- crowded schedule, students find an able and interested counsellor in Dean Eagle. He is admirably fitted for the Dean ' s desk possessing a personality and philosophy which is seldom equaled. His versatility and vitality typify the Lambuth spirit. MARGARET MAY POOL, B.S., M.S. Dean of Women Professor of Mathematics Mrs. Pool has served for two years as Dean of Women, coming to our portals from South Carolina. Her poise and quiet charm are envi- able characteristics and her knowledge of mathematics has won the admiration of all who know her. Her capable fulfillment of her many duties is to be commended. A. D. OXLEY, B.A., M.A. Dean of Men Professor of Biology Known for his Socratic method of teaching and for his subtle sense of humoi. Dean Oxley easily merits the high place he holds in the confidence of students. His proficiency as pro- fessor of Biology and outside the classroom would be an asset to any college campus. Vk H. L.

V Cla££e£ N With ranks depleted by the loss of large num- bers to the armed forces, the Seniors of 1945 have carried out valiantly the traditions and responsibil- ities which accompany the position they hold. Con- scious of their superior authority concerning such weighty matters as registration, orientation, and initiation, they have gained the admiration of the freshmen, the respect of the sophomores and have made the title of Senior one to be aspired to even by the only — slightly inferior juniors. Their chosen leaders are: President, Bernice Pearigen; Vice- President, Mary Belle England; Secretary-Treasurer, Jimmie Ruth Boulton. 10 BERNICE PEARIGEN, B.S.

They themselves are so convinced of their mature rea- soning that they are willing to explain anything to anybody at almost anytime. They boast the Most Popular Boy, the Editors of the Vision, and such musical talent as that of Mabel and Warren. In their two years they have already contributed much to Lambuth. 15 WARREN McSWAIN Puryear, Tennessee RAY NELL SEA VERS Jackson, Tennessee MABEL FOWINKLE Memphis, Tennessee MARTHA THOMPSON Paris, Tennessee FA YE TREVATHAN Gleason, Tennessee THOMASINE HILLIARD Huntersville, Tennessee JOHNNY MILLER Paris, Tennessee MARGARET BLACK Hickman, Kentucky EARLEAN McFARLAND Rutherford, Tennessee MARY FRANCES BAKER Selmer, Tennessee EVELYN BEARE Jackson, Tennessee DOROTHY WILLIAMS Bethel Springs, Tennessee LENA BARKER Jackson, Tennessee HARRELL TOWNSEND Huntingdon, Tennessee JAMES NEAL WILLIAMS Adamsville, Tennessee JOY GRAHAM Somerville, Tennessee LEILA G.

As Freshmen were shown around, upperclassmen got acquainted with the changes made during the summer — the new dining room at Ep worth and the library downstaiis. Then the Social Committee swung into action with a bang-up hamburger fry at Chickasaw, with the thrills— and spills — of horseback riding as an added attraction. Freshmen survived Hell Week; the toll of captured Quief, please! • fr Forward, march! Quarter Hi, Santa! Union freshman caps steadily rose, and Halloween was properly observed with apple-bobbing, fortune telling, and a barn dance. Memories of the skating party were quite vivid (AND painful) for several days after students and faculty journeyed to Bemis, and as the holidays approached courageous Carolers braved the cold to serenade appreciative listeners. The horrors of exams were somewhat overshadowed by the presentation of the splendid Christmas program a fitting climax to an eventful Fall Quarter. Smile, Freshman! Back door I ' m starved! Term Paper? M inter Already, Rod?  Winter quarter began on a pleasant note — that of wedding bells for Mary Cooke. The pre-Christmas surge of engagements increased, and more of our male students were called by Uncle Sam. Rush Week with all its activity and frenzied planning caught the freshmen in its tide; rushees were pledged and quickly Bull Session Free or 6c, Warren? Just loafing ££uarter A very popular corner introduced to the doubtful pleasures of initiation in true goat-style. The choir continued to make a name for itself with out-of-town appearances and weekly radio broadcasts. And so — Spring Holidays finally came, giving relief to the weary and sleep to the studious.

Sprli spring, With the beginning of the final quarter, seniors begin studying for comprehensives and seminars — and girls do their best to turn the fancies of the remaining young men. Campaigning for student body election begins and seniors are alternately ecstatic and de- spondent as graduation approaches. The last chapel program brings an exchange of seats by upperclass- Jimmieeee! Where to? Lonesome? How ' s the weather up there? Chickasaw ' s after effects Qiiarter men and the singing of Auld Lang Syne, along with a few tears hurriedly brushed away. Term papers and last minute cramming finished, finals are again endured, and graduates march once more down the familiar aisles and out again — with the confidence gained by four years in an institution whose aim is practical preparation for abundant life. 1944 Brides — past, present and hopeful! 1880 1922 THE CRIB They say my jokes are stale And I grant that they may be But if you can find some better Then I ' ll give my place to thee. Speaking of shoe rationing, the other night a guy pushed me in a door- way, pulled a gun and said, Put up your feet! Pearigen: Ma Mac, there ' s a needle in my soup. Ma Mac: Just a typographical error, Bernice. It should be noodle. Chas. Stewart: My baby is the living image of me. Tom Davidson: What do you care so long as he ' s healthy? Branch: What does the buffalo on the nickel stand for? McSwain: That ' s easy — because he can ' t lie down. B. Eisinger, in cafeteria: I have stewed kidneys, boiled tongue, fried liver, and pig ' s feet. L. Farrow: Don ' t tell me your troubles. Sister. Bring me a ham sandwich. Alpha Carothers: Doctor, is my mouth opened wide enough? Doctor: Yes. You see, I always stand on the outside while I ' m pulling a tooth. Auctioneer James Dismuke: What am I offered for this beautiful bust of Robert Burns? Man in crowd: That ain ' t Burns, that ' s Shakespeare. Dismuke: Well folks, the joke ' s on me. That shows what I know about the Bible. Waiter: How would you like your rice? Betty Bond: Thrown at me, big boy, thrown at me! J. Miller: I had my nose broken in three places. J. Neal: You ought to stay out of those places. A proud mother walked into the furniture store of the E-zee Credit Com- pany and placed her small monthly payment on the counter happily.

Scarcity of film, a siege of cloudy days, a limited number of pages, and an early deadline are just a few of the problems with which we have had to cope — to the detriment of our usual sunny dispositions and numerous daily assignments. However, cooperation has been splendid, and somehow in the midst of it all we did man- age to get to class occasionally. To the faculty as well as to the students, therefore, we express our appreciation, for with- out their patience and understanding the Lantern could never have gone to press. 50 STAFF Editor Helen Gilbert Assistant Editor Mary Torii Business Manager Jimmie R.
