rra OWE £lNOE%N 19 5 4 .... ■ r - Mfti«v KSr;3:Sf ' ' cfDedi tu icauon The first time most of us met this person was during the period of great confusion when we were registering for the first term of our freshman year. We found her to be a friend indeed and a steadying influence that enabled us to get a clearer and more humane view of Lambuth College. Since then we have always found her willing and ready to help us with any of our problems and through her we can count on finding an answer. Therefore, as an humble token of our appreciation to this great lady, we the staff, on behalf of the student body of our school, dedicate this 1954 edition of the Lantern to our registrar and friend — srrom Jhe f resident 6 eJuesk Lambuth is on the march. As a result of the phenomenal success of the Development Fund Campaign, the faculty has been enlarged and strengthened, old buildings and furnishings have been modernized, a new dormitory has been completed, and much new equipment has been added. With growing appreciation of the resolute support and confident expectations of the great Lambuth constituency, students and faculty respond with grateful hearts. Something significant is happening not only in the vast improvements in physical equipment on our campus, but, we believe, correspondingly in attitudes, ambitions, outlook, and upreach. The Lantern sheds light on the pathway we have traveled during the year and points the way ahead. We count not ourselves to have attained the degree of excellence to which we aspire. We press toward the mark and rejoice in the comradeship of this onward march. Our sincere appreciation and best wishes to all who have participated in the advances of the year and share our hopes for the future. Luther L. Gobbel, President Luther L.

Cheerleaders _ x (L 0 EasbtUtl 1953-54 The Eagles started the season off slowly by losing their first three games, but then caught fire and fin- ished with a respectable 11 and 9 record. Coach Roscoe Williams did a fine job considering the fact that he is in the process of rebuilding the team after graduation played havoc with it last year. Lambuth was led this year by co-captains Ken Burnette and Jerry Corlew. Ken is the only graduating member of the team, but his loss will be sorely felt. The bail-hawking ace has been a member of the var- sity for four years, and served as co-captain for three of these years. He amassed a total of 1293 points in 92 games for an average of 14.05 per game. Rounding out the first five are Corlew, Wayne McClain, Charles Bray, and Billy Montgomery or Richard Fly. They were assisted by such able subs as Russell Teddington, Joe Moore, Tommy Casey, and Sterling Givens. We, of the staff, take our hats off to Coach Williams and the boys for a job well done, and give our sincere wishes for a great season next year.
