Auticjt Ass ' nT A-rtisT Pnfiff S ®t)t g taff THE DeSOTO was undertaken in response to the desire, which was prompted by the love we feel for our Alma Mater, for the perpetuation of the activities of Ole Normal. As the project gradually shaped itself in the editors ' hands, it took on some- thing like the following threefold purpose: First, to accompany and supplement the annuals of the institution, both of the past and of the future. Second, to record as nearly as possible the daily history of the students of the institution. Third, to instill in the heart of every student a greater apprecia- tion for training received while under the care and guidance of our earnest corps of teachers. For ourselves, we would say that while we have divided the labor in preparing the book, there has been close co-operation at every stage of the work. We owe thanks for suggestions and encourage- ment to more friends than we may undertake to name. Our deep obligation is acknowledged to the numerous students whose responsiveness has been an important guide in the compilation of the book ; to the faculty, who, by their valuable suggestions, have been an inspiration ; and especially to the business men of the city, who, by their generous co-operation and contributions have made pos- sible this, the 1919-20 edition of the DeSoto.

We ' ve met, we ' ve loved and we must part, E ' en though we have lived heart to heart. But if we could, we would not stay, Protected by these walls, for aye, When duty calls and beckons us, Why, go we will, for go we must. Now some will choose a path most bright, No life-time battles have to fight ; The path of some won ' t be so smooth, There ' ll be an ache they cannot soothe. Tho ' we may roam to earth ' s four parts, We ' ll still keep in our heart of hearts The interest in our Senior class, An interest in each lad and lass. We ' ll all remember Normal School — Be Happy Here, it ' s strictest rule. Oft we will dwell on memory ' s shore, But, as a class, we ' ll meet no more. Frances Maurine Loni Page 11 Clasi of 1920 ONCE UPON A TIME a band of travelers set out upon a journey toward the land of Graduation in the Valley of West Tennessee Normal School. Happy of heart were they and full of confidence that ere long they would arrive at the end of their journey. On a bright September morning they entered into the land of the Juniors. In this land they found a group of horrible monsters, La Faculte, which so terrified them that they all but gave up their jour- ney at its beginning. But this band, being heroic, encouraged each other and soon learned to overcome the fear of these monsters. They found, after a few weeks, that the monsters were harmless and that they were even their friends, protecting them from the giants, Fail- ure and Suspension, who roamed abroad in this land. And so, through periods of storm and sunshine, the travelers made their journey through the Junior year, losing only a few of their number; but who could resist the fatal dart of Cupid ' s arrow? At the end of the year this heroic band passed into the kingdom of the Seniors. Here they came to the Sea of Knowledge and boarded the ship Senior, which soon set sail for distant ports. The ship was tossed about on the waves of Fear, battling against the sea dragons, Tests, Quizzes and Examinations. After being piloted safely by Dr. Finley into the Port Education, the ship sailed for other ports. The next landing was at the harbor English. This harbor was beset with many obstacles, but by the careful persistency of the able pilot, Mr. Vaughan, the ship left the port without being entirely wrecked, and the travelers were left much wiser for having gone through the try- ing expedition. The ship, now guided by Misses Buquo and Wright, turned a different direction and took a course which led straight to the port Home Economics. After stopping for a time in this interesting har- bor, the ship left for the ports, Modern Language, History, Mathe- matics and Science. Many, many days were spent in exploring the ports and many, many hardships were endured. In fact the band aboard the ship almost gave up in despair at times when the tempest was so great, but being brave and faithful they finally came out vic- torious in their conquest and landed at the gates of Graduation. This being the end of their journey, they were ready to go out into the world and begin life outside of the protecting walls of the West Tennessee Normal School. These travelers, the class of 1920, will leave the good old Nor- mal with many a tear and with many a heart throb and regret, to go their ways in the journey of life.

Inscription on unadorned white slab, Here lies Katherine Richards, who gave her life in the noble task of planning the future of the Senior Class of 1920. Paf e Ifi tot OTtll anb tostament AFTER much careful and deliberate consideration of the dis- -% positions involved and while being clothed in our right minds, we, the Senior Class of 1920, of the West Tennessee State Normal, do now with unlimited generosity and unmitigated sagacity, make our last and final will and testament, knowing well that upon this disposal of gifts which our flesh has been heir to, rest the suc- cesses and failures of the class of 1922, and more, the fate of all the subsequent history of the West Tennessee Normal. To our dearly beloved and highly esteemed faculty we will and bequeath the following things which we hope will prove a special benefit to each of them : To Dr. Kincannon, a handsomely bound volume, How to resist the temptation of using the speaker ' s time through introduction. To Dr. Finley, an extra row of seats placed near the front of the room so that the boys in Senior Education won ' t have any difficulty in being seated near him. To Mr. Vaughan, all of the shoddy, shaggy-eared notebooks ob- tainable, a ten-year copyright on all song books containing Good Night Ladies, and a reserved seat on the 8:15 Normal School car to be shared with Miss Batte. To Mr. Scates, an infinite amount of flattery to be used upon all persons upon all occasions. To Mr. Wilson, plenty of pep to impart to all of the future Normal students. To Mr. Hayden, all of the known experiments for his Chemis- try 41 class to work out. To Mr. Manning, an assisstant to help him keep John and Mary from talking in the basement. To Mr. Poindexter, all the sighs, frowns, and tears that were shed by pupils when making out their courses of study. To. Mr. Teuton, more roles of pictures of Alice Brady, Clara Kimball Young, and Theda Bara. To Mr. Simmons, something that will be invaluable to him, and without which his life can never be complete, something to be loved and adored, and that will grow sweeter to him each day — our Senior Grace. To Mr. Austin, some sealing wax to be used on the mouths of his music classes so that he can keep them quiet long enough to call the roll. To Mr. Gardner, someone to help him get all of the pupils ma- triculated before the last day of school, and a guard to keep him from breaking the speed limit. To Miss McCormack, a five year contract to sing abroad with Caruso. To Mrs. Teuton, the exclusive right of instructing Mrs. Vernon Castle in the terpsichorean art. To Miss Pritchett, enough alarm clocks so that each one of her pupils might have one in order to get to her 8:20 class on time. To Miss Frost, the entire kingdom of bugs, worms, and various other insects. To Miss Cooper, the position as chaperon for all of the mascu- Page 1,1 HaSt Will anb t t tmnttlt— Continued line members of the faculty when they are at teachers ' conventions in Nashville. To Miss Proctor, a memorandum book in which to jot down all of her notes so that she won ' t deface her love letters. To Miss Thomas, a title to the Mississippi River so that she will have the right to sink therein all of the chewing gum that she has taken away from her pupils. To Miss Augustus, all of the Juniors to help her collect for binding all of the magazines that have been saved since the founding of the school. To Miss Wright, more of that instinct which is essential to the full development of a person, and which for some unknown reason has been sadly lacking in her life — the instinct of curiosity. To Mrs. Caldwell, that old childhood friend whom she met at Nashville during the teachers meeting. To Mrs. Mynders, a megaphone so that she can be heard above the noise in the library. To Mrs. Fair, every theme that was ever written. To Miss Beckham, a monopoly on peps and term papers. To Miss Buquo, a power to convince every girl that she ought to get married. To Miss Bunch, a pair of rubber heels so that the pupils in the library won ' t be alarmed when she walks down the hall. To Miss Wilson, more Latin plays to coach. To Mrs. Perkins, somebody to help her collect the butter left on the plates and help her drive the boys and girls out of the dining room. To Miss Lizzie, a new pair of bedroom slippers with rubber heels so that the noise of her dainty feet will be abated and the girls won ' t have time to hide in the closets and under the beds before she enters the room ; also a new kimono of a sober hue that won ' t cast its reflection before; and, lastly, the latest patent for pulling girls out from under the beds in order to relieve from her back the strain of stooping. To the splendid and hopeful Juniors, our successors, those beau- tiful lads and lasses of so few summers, (and so few brains as well) who, like us, must climb with faltering footsteps up the high and rugged pathway of knowledge — to you, oh, Juniors, the hope of the ages yet to be, we do will and bequeath all of our tears securely bottled and labeled ready for use — admonishing you in these times of H. C. L. and frugality to make use of such sparingly, remember- ing to consider how many tears (so far as the teachers are concerned) are wasted. And not only our tears do we will and bequeath to you, but our hopes and our ambitions, our joys and our regrets, our suc- cesses and our failures. We do reluctantly will and bequeath to you the best of teachers, admonishing you that it is wise to handle them with care. To John Lax, we will and bequeath the right honorable posi- tion that Grady Shires now holds as class president, along with his charming personality, his stalling ability and, last, but not least, his popularity among the fairer sex. To Emily Thompson, we leave the little black racer as a loving and kind remembrance from Rollin Wilson, along with all the sweet words and tender glances that he has showered upon her during the past year. Page Hast Will anb Testament— Continued To Eunice Derbin, we give the clear, high-pitched voice, and the bold disposition of Maurine Long. To Marie Gregory, we will the lovable disposition of Ruth Falls, the girl who agrees with a certain person in everything. To Dora Mooney, we donate Maude Odle ' s position as presi- dent of the Student Council and to Velma Jones, Nettie Browne and Una Mae Adkins, the task of filling Monta Hughes, Anne Stone and Paul Miller ' s places as members of the Student Council. To Cullen Newton, we bequeath all of the A ' s that Curtis Sheeley has got in psychology.

To Jimmie Strain, we leave Ruth Stephenson ' s place at the Student Council. And furthermore, to the Juniors, we do will and bequeath a past of varied experiences and a timely warning. Profit, dear friends, by our failures, work while it is yet day, for one day ' s work left undone causes a break in the great chain which years of toil may not be able to repair. We are all builders, not of massive monuments or costly structures which crumble with time and moulder in the dust, but of characters that should live, and whose influence should be left when the Egyptian pyramids have yielded to the fingers of time. And to thee, oh, Alma Mater, we do bequeath our prayers that thine own purity from base alloy may ever be free. May nought thy peace annoy. Fair mother, nourished have we been by thee, with a rich supply from wisdom ' s brimming cup. Much we are and hope to be is thine. We go, but often shall we long to be beneath thine honored walls again, to sup with kindred spirits at thy sacred shrine.

They crept noiselessly up the walls of the auditorium to the loft above. Once there they ceased their quietness, and making themselves comfortable on some scraps of cotton, left by the elec- trician, they began to talk. What do you think about this West Tennessee State Normal School anyway? asked an inquiring little mouse. Well, replied a thoughtful little mouse, This school as a whole does very well. Of course, there should be some improve- ments; for instance, the Assembly hour should be more interesting, the boys should support the girls ' athletics more loyally, Miss Lizzie shouldn ' t be so curious, Mrs. Perkins ought not to fuss so much, and of course, Mr. Gardner should speed ' em up; but then you should make some allowances, you know. A dignified mouse rapped smart- ly on a block and said, Fellow-mice, this is the first meeting of our debating society which we have modeled after the Kappa-Forum and Sigma-Mynders Societies. The question for discussion tonight is, Which is the best class in this school ? This discussion is to be in- formal and we should like to hear from any member on the subject. A dissipated looking mouse rose and began sarcastically, Mr. Chair- man, Fellow-mice, I think the Four A Class is the best class in school, because But the presiding mouse rapped sharply and said, I believe we decided last meeting, Mr. Speaker, that the Four A Class was not to be discussed because it is to be considered a mere stepping stone to the other real classes of this institution. The speaker sat down with a defiant shrug. Immediately an idiotic, insipid mouse next to him rose and drawlingly said, Honorable Chairman, Fellow Members, I favor the Seniors, because they are the most intellectual, honorable and attentive of all classes in the school. There was a general approval manifested by vig orous clapping. Amidst all the applause a tall, handsome intellectual mouse arose, Mr. Chairman, and others present, I beg to be allowed to refute these statements. First, if the Seniors are so intellectual, why do not more of them make the honor roll? And honorable? Why, friends, the other day during an Education test, I was under the radiator, and when Dr. Finley was called out of the room! Why mice, if you saw what I saw ! And attentive ? Why, not so long ago Mr. Manning (the old dear) was compelled to dismiss one of his Senior Classes because everyone was gazing out of the windows at the Southern Special instead of examining the rocks he had passed around. All of us hear the Seniors asking what announcements were made in Chapel, when they were literally jammed at the an- nouncer ' s feet. No, my dear fellow members, the Seniors are not the best class in school — but I believe Mr. P. H. Degree has some- thing to say. Mr. P. H. Degree arose thoughtfully and, with a keen scrutin- izing glance around the room, spoke abruptly, I think the juniors are the best class in this school, because they are the live wires of the school ; their middle name is pep. You find them everywhere — on the honor roll; in the scholastic debates, for instance, Miss Adkins, Mr. Ozment, Mr. Grantham and Mr. Norris; in all organizations, as the literary societies, the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., the Manual Arts Paye -is Junior 1 — Continued Club the K. K. K. and the F. F. F. In all athletics, for example, in football, Grantham and Burke went over the top. In basket ball, Inez Lovelace is the star goal thrower of the team. Miss Flora Hobbs is their talented artist. And the Juniors ' take the cup ' when it comes to sewing and cooking, for instance, Miss Helen Odle ' s beautiful spring frock displayed in chapel. Misses Boyte and La Vera Lovelace are famous chefs. Their musicians, Mooney and Hatcher, entertain vast audiences with their ukelele, and silvery voices. Miss Marshall ' trips the light fantastic toe ' to the great satisfaction of the multitude every week or so. Why, these are only a few of the many accom- plishments of the Juniors, but there are other reasons why I believe them best. They are always having candy, nuts, and sandwiches in Chapel, and at the picture show, and after everybody leaves what feasts we mice do have on the crumbs! And the other day, I ' m sure, a bunch of us would have been devoured had it not been for ' some Juniors chewing gum so loud that the cat was frightened and ran away. And they are very economical too, for ' tis said they get most of their chewing gum from Mr. Vaughan ' s room. He paused for breath, and the attic shook with tumultuous applause. Just then a football resounded from below. For an instant there was perfect stillness, then, scuttling, scurrying in all directions, the mice sped away, while over the hall the squeaking echo of Juniors! Juniors! Juniors! seemed to linger.

How she dreaded that English! It did not seem right that she should be con- fined in such a dreary place, while her roommate was enjoying life out of doors taking her favorite campus course. She sometimes wished that she could leave her studies to take care of themselves while she enjoyed the pleasures that belonged to those who do not allow their studies to interfere with their pleasures. While she was com- paring the lot of her fellow students with her own, a sudden drowsi- ness came over her. The faces about her became unfamiliar. The great shelves of books, the large windows and alabastine walls grew dim and vanished. She found herself in a forest near a brook in which clear water was tirelessly seeking its destination. The cus- tomary din of the library had been replaced by a clear sweet voice that was addressing her. I have had you brought into my presence for the purpose of offering to you an unusual opportunity, to allow you to take a look into the future and to see a few of your classmates as they will be ten years from now, were the words that the strange voice addressed to the bewildered girl, who received them with an exclamation of delight. Again the scene changed ; the voice was gone and failed to answer the call of the girl, or to reply to the thanks that had been given to the donor of this unusual privilege. She found herself in a quaint little street crowded with strange looking yellow-faced natives. While she was trying to decide whether she was in China Town or San Francisco, a familiar face presented itself. She was more than pleased to recognize Addie Winfrey, who talked over old school days and explained her presence by telling the visitor that she had been sent as one of the many missionaries who were endeavoring to convert the inhabitants of China. From this scene in Peking she was borne to another place, equally unfamiliar. She heard the clearly audible strains of a ukelele, and whom did she see but Ollie Blanche Burnette playing Aloha Oe to a group of prosperous looking natives. Yes, it was our Johnnie who was taking a short vacation in Honolulu, after having passed a successful season in New York. While in Honolulu she also saw Lucille Derryberry who was teaching in the Normal School of Hawaii. On the trip from Honolulu to San Francisco, she enjoyed the company of two of her old classmates, Mr. and Mrs. N. N. Kelly, whom she discovered to be a retired merchant and his wife. Yes, Mrs. Adam was our classmates, Elizabeth Barton, who had been the object of Adam ' s desires ever since she consented to marry him — provided he would save a million dollars, get a car and a bunga- low. From this couple she obtained the news that Mr. and Mrs. Eurace Pettigrew were enjoying the season ' s in the grand opera at Chicago, where the music lovers had the advantage of the best music of the year. It is useless to say that we knew Mrs. Pettigrew as Van back at Old Normal. On arriving at San Francisco the traveler overheard a conversation regarding John D. Lippincott, the famous lecturer, who was to speak in the city that night. The next scene takes place in St. Louis, and whom should she see but Vera Meadows, who was althletic instructor in the local PiKJC 5 ' J XOpfyttp — Continued Y. W. C. A. That night while looking over the newspaper, she noticed on the sporting page that Mgr. T. J. Browning of the New York Giants had signed a contract to hold that position for two more years. She traveled from St. Louis to Memphis in an aeroplane piloted bv Velma Jones. Yes, Velma got accustomed to dazzling heights when she used to climb out over the kitchen and ring the dinner bell for Mrs. Perkins. She stopped a few minutes at the post office to mail some letters, and was surprised to see Albert Bowman working there. In the short conversation that followed, she was delighted that Albert and Emma Lou Mclllwain had settled in Memphis after their honey- moon. On leaving the post office, she was very gla d to meet Rebecca Harris, who was leaving to take up a position at Vassar. Knowing that Rebecca could tell something of Emily and Celeste, the girl in- quired of them. She found out that Celeste Walters was at present a professor at Bryn Mawr, yes, the prettiest one — while Emily Thompson and Rollin Wilson, — well, you can guess the rest. She also heard of another of her old classmates and stopped to pay a call on Ruth Bumpas who was holding a position on the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal. Next, she decided to pay a visit to her old school. To do this, it was necessary to wait twenty-nine minutes until the car came. On reaching the end of the car line, she walked up to the main building where the familiar halls were teeming with unfamiliar faces. However, she was successful in seeing a few that were not strangers, including Mary Kincannon, who was teaching at Normal, and was still ( as popular as she was when she was voted the most popular girl at Normal in ' 20. She inquired about a new building on the campus, and was told that it was a dancing hall recently erected by the school for the benefit of the students, and our old classmate, Lorraine Hagy was instructor. I hate to disturb her, she looks so peaceful, but I ' ll have to, a voice was heard to say, Wake up! Uncle Mat and Emma want to sweep out the library before supper.

The Kappas firmly believe that all work and no play make Jill a lazy girl, so they graciously consent to be the Bells of the various social functions given by the Forurr and Mynders men. Kappa spirit never ceases! Out of the one hundred and forty girls in Mynders Hall, the grand old Kappa claims at least one hundred and ten of them as her own. The Annual Staff, one of the most im- portant executive bodies in the school, was composed entirely of Kappa girls and their Society Brothers. The Y. W. C. A. was organized in the West Tennessee State Normal School in 1914. Since that time five Kappa Lambda Sigma girls have been elected to the office of president of the association.

When she was almost ready to give up and go home, a sweet faced girl sat down beside her. You are a new girl, aren ' t you? she asked. Yes, this is my first day, and I am tired of it already. Oh, you mustn ' t say that until you have seen some of the good things we have here. And as a starter you must join the Sigma. Sigma! the new girl exclaimed. That sounds interesting. Please tell me about it. Well, Sigma is just a short name for the Sigma Alpha Mu Lit- erary Society. We meet once a week and have delightful pro- grams with music, readings, debates, and any other interesting fea- tures we can find. We have parties in addition to our regular meet- ings. And every year we give a play. Oh, you can ' t appreciate it all till you join. The new girl was so impressed by this attractive picture that the following Monday found her in the Sigma club room. The pro- gram was so interesting and the members were so congenial that she decided to join immediately. The following Friday night, she, along with some thirty or forty other girls, was initiated. Those girls have never revealed all that took place that night, but it is a well known fact that strange shrieks and groans pierced the chill October air. And every new member emerged from the club room with a red S branded on her forehead. No longer did our young friend want to go home. When she clasped the hand of the Sigma Spirit, she became filled with a desire to stay, and at the Sigma reception she was made to realize that she really was wanted. In the society, she came in contact with some of the most talented girls in school, embryo musicians, artists and authors. She became interested in athletics because she wanted the Sigma basketball team to win the championship. She devoted more time to her studies be- cause she wanted to be worthy of her society. She felt a thrill of pride on the night of the Sigma play. Could she ever forget the coquettish glances of Madame Hymen-Cupid as she injected the tiny microbe of love into the cold hearts of the members of the Bachelors ' Club? Even this was not all. She shouted herself hoarse at the inter- society basket ball games. She grieved at the Sigma ' s defeat, she rejoiced at their victory. Through all she loyally believed that the Sigma Alpha Mu Literary Society was the best society in school. Not always was it victorious in every contest, but it always carried off a large share of the laurels, and when it did meet with defeat, it never gave up. No matter what came, each and every Sigma united in singing the society song, with renewed determination and pep. Sigma spirit ' s never dead, them bones gonna rise again. Hit ' em in the eye and knock ' em in the head, Them bones gonna rise again. We know it, ' deed, we know it, Sisters, we know it, Them bones gonna rise again.

Page 70 Page 71 Jforum Sedating g otietp THE FORUM DEBATING SOCIETY is the oldest society in Normal School. As its name indicates, it was primarily or- ganized for the training of young men in debate, oratory, liter- ary and musical expression. The superiority of the Forum has been attested to by the brilliant success achieved in the school of active life; and after all, this is the only dependable measure, we think, for the raison d ' etre of any organization. It has always been our belief that the spirit of brotherhood must be concretely expressed in some form of service. Many ex-Forum members, now well on the road to a successful political career, can look back with fond gratitude to this fountain of fraternal inspiration and encouragement. The Forum pre-eminently stands for the triangular view of life ' s devel- opment. The veracity of this statement is made manifest by the fact that the Forum has furnished more than her quota of men for the debating teams, the positions of trust, the honor roll and the gridiron. This year we have provided five out of the six Inter- Normal debaters. Great emphasis has always been laid on the mental, moral, and physical phases of life, but not to the neglect of the social, for our boys are thoroughly human. We consider our socials as being indis- pensable to our brotherhood. Thus we have set aside occasions for social pleasures. For lack of space we pass over our interesting assem- bly programs for the one occasion of the year that every member looks forward to with the warmest anticipation and looks back on with pleasant thoughts — this is our annual banquet. The banquet was held this year in Elizabeth Mynders Hall on the twentieth of February with the patriotic idea that characterizes the twenty-second carefully and accurately carried out. The program which preceded the banquet was most interesting. After this, all were ushered into the dining hall, beautifully and artistically decorated with our Blue and Gold, with the tables geometrically arranged in the letter F. The banquet consisted of five courses with toasts by teachers present and with music by jazz band intervening between courses. The remainder of the evening was spent in a very enjoy- able dance given in Mynders Hall. We cordially invite the attention and consideration of all pros- pective students. No one will deny the fact that we adhere to the full significance of our motto: ' AD REM. We are the boys who get down to business and really do things.

MYNDERS— a name that should hold a ten- der place in the heart of every educator in Tennessee ; for he was a great man ; one who stood for the advancement of edu- cation in the whole South.

Wherefore, it is only meet that some fitting memorial should be left to his memory. Such a memo- rial is the Seymour A. Mynders Club — a club established as an ever- lasting monument to one of the greatest of all educators, who will be long remembered for the service he rendered to mankind. So the Mynders Club has a great objective in striving to uphold the ideals of the man for whom the Club is named. It is our pur- pose to aid in the education of the young men of this institution and at the same time to relieve the monotony of school life by the rendi- tion of unique numbers in literary programs. But we would do more. We extend to those who are fortunate enough to be chosen as members, a brotherhood which exists between the old and the new members.

S UCCESS is indeed a fitting synonym for our Young Women ' s Christian Association this year. The following verse might serve as a nucleus for the success of this organization : So many Gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind When all this old world needs Is the simple art of being kind. For the year ' 19- ' 20 the following officers were elected: Mary Robison, President ; Anne Stone, Vice-President ; Mary Peoples, Secretary; Ruth Falls, Treasurer. It was under the leadership of these most competent officers and the cabinet that the Y. W. C. A. made such strides of progress and made itself by far one of the strongest, most influential and beneficial organizations in our institu- tion. Miss Lela Pritchett most successfully served as faculty ad- viser. The cabinet realizing the necessity of trained leaders decided to send Misses Ruth Falls and Mary Robison to the South-Central Y. W. C. A. Convention at Blue Ridge, North Carolina. They came back with renewed vigor and determination to make our Y. W. C. A. a potent factor in the school life. Also in January, under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., two delegates, accompanied by Miss Pritchett, were elected and sent to the Student Volunteer Conven- tion at Des Moines, Iowa. When school opened in the fall of 1919, the Y. W. C. A. greeted all the new girls with a most cordial welcome and at the beautiful candle service when all desiring membership were inducted we found that our membership was one hundred per cent. This was a most significant service. Regular weekly meetings have been held on Wednesday evenings under the leadership of students, with occasional lecturers from the outside. In addition, the Y. W. C. A. has ably assisted in the Vesper Services which were held every Sunday evening. A new feature, the Morning Watch Service, has been added this year. This has done more than any one thing to strengthen the Christian life and leadership of students. Bible study classes were organized and taught successfully during the year. A great deal of work has been done by the Social Service Com- mittee. Some girls have told stories to the orphans of the Wesley Home; some assisted in Sunday School work; some distributed clothes to the needy families. There was also a great interest taken by the girls in making garments for the children at the Wesley Home, and in sending Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter baskets. The social life has also been a prominent phase of the Y. W. C. A. First the big get-acquainted party was given ; then the Halloween Festival, that found Mynders Hall bedecked in Autumn colors with ghosts, fun and superstition peeping from every corner ; next a Thanksgiving party which cheered those who remained for the holidays. All during the year informal parties were given, such as the kid party to which we were all invited to come, attired as we were in the days of the good old used-to-be. On April 1st, 1920, a new corps of officers were elected to con- tinue the work for the ensuing year and we feel sure that this capa- ble body of girls will continue the work of the Y. W. C. A. with many improvements. Page 80 t4bov£ th , Clows Page 81 i. Jfl. c a. OFFICERS Charles Shoemaker President Curtis Sheley Vice-President Adam Kelly Secretary and Treasurer Baughan, Denver E.

Page 82 Page 83 g tu ent obemment IN THE SPRING OF 1916, the Woman ' s Self Government Association of the West Tennessee State Normal was estab- lished by the student body in the Elizabeth Mynders Hall. The purpose of this organization is to preserve the student honor, to regu- late the conduct of the students, and to enforce such regulations of the institution as do not fall exclusively within the province of the faculty and matron. Up until the present time, the presidents, who were Senior members of the Council, were Misses Bess Henderson of Bells, Ten- nessee, 1916; Jesse Stone of Union City, Tennessee, 191 7- ' 18; and Mary Grace Kinzie of Jackson, Tennessee, 191 8- ' 19. Each presi- dent, with her able council, has showed her exceptional ability to ad- vance the prestige and popularity of Student Government among the students of the school. The year 1919- ' 20 has been a very successful one for Student Government, due to the untiring efforts of the president of the coun- cil, Miss Maude Odle of Lexington, Tennessee, who, with her able assistants, Misses Monta Hughes, Paul Miller, Annie Stone, Lillie Martin, Tommie Roane, Lucile Derryberry, Lorraine Hagy, Lillie Donnell and Mary Kincannon, has won the sympathy and grati- tude of the student body for splendid service rendered to the in- stitution.

The girl at the head, Maude Odle ' s her name, Certainly owns a place in the Hall o f Fame. She has great authority — next to our Doc, And when she ' s trying a case, she ' s as hard as a rock. She wears a set look as grim as Death, She frightens us so we can scarce get our breath. When she says, You ' re campussed, we shake in our shoes, And run to our comrades to tell the sad news. Oh, yes, she ' s little, but my! she is fierce, When she reproves us, our very souls does she pierce. She says we ' re disgraced when we break a rule, We should uphold the honor of our Normal School. She ' s ably assisted in scaring us all By another Senior, a girl named Paul. Her surname is Miller, and she ' s a good sport, For our misdemeanors she ' ll seldom report. Another Senior is Miss Annie Stone, And I ' d advise you to let her alone. She ' s just a darling if you treat her right, But you ' d better look out if you incur her spite. No, that ' s only a joke, Anne isn ' t that kind, A dearer girl in this school you can ' t find. Monta ' s another one all the girls love, For she speaks to us gently as a cooing dove. She doesn ' t fuss when we do mean things, But her very kindness repentance oft brings. Tommye and Lillie represent the Junior class. When a trial ' s in progress, they vote en masse. They ' re not very stern for they are young, too, And they ' ve oft broken rules just like me and you. Lorraine and Lucile are not sober at all, Until a council meeting Maud does call. They ' re only 4-A ' s and they ' re not very wise, But that stupid council they surely despise. Lillie Donnell from the 3-A ' s does come, And at all meetings, she sits perfectly dumb. Mary Kincannon is a favorite with all, She doesn ' t think it wicked to make noise in the hall. In fact, the whole Council ' s a pretty good bunch, But about one thing, let me give you a hunch, If they ever catch you in something wrong, You ' ll soon be singing this sad little song, I hate that old Council for being so mean, I do wish from my heart I ' d never been seen, I thought I could do it and still get by, But that old Student Council shouted, ' I spy.

CIub GAZE upon the picture on the opposite page, dear reader, and behold an assem- blage of the leading lights of Normal. Verily, say the Shelbyites, Abou Ben Adam has nothing on them. To assert that they lead all the rest is stating the case mildly. The genius of Shelby County is generously displayed in scholarship, athletics, dramatics and leadership. Some persons who are not prone to believe mere assertions without proof may be convinced of Shelby County ' s prominence by the fol- lowing statistics of some of the honors she has carried off this year. Two presidents of Sigmas. Two presidents of Kappas. Two presidents of Mynders. One president of Latin Club. Four representatives on Honor Roll. Five football letter men. Seven representatives in Who ' s Who. Editor-in-Chief of DeSoto. The majority of the Shelby County representatives are the Town Students, that noble band of heroes martyred to the 7:30 car and the cafeteria. The frolicsome caprices of the one and the unbending uniformity of the other would soon discourage a less hardy band. Louis XIV said with much truth, L ' etat? C ' est moi, and Shelby County can as truthfully proclaim, The Normal? It is I. Page 91 Page 92 WE are the K. K. K. ' s. To become a K. K. K. one must perform a noteworthy deed. Each of our members will now tell you why she is eligible to membership in this re- nowned organization, and how she has lived up to our motto: WHY SHOULD THE DEVIL HAVE ALL THE GOOD TIMES? UNA MAE ADKINS: My feet dozed from inaction. I shuf- fled them over the floor to wake them up. RUTH BUMPAS: I entered a picture show and at my side strode my roommate ' s brother. When questioned about the matter, I entered the court room on my feet, instead of on my knees. NETTIE BROWNE: When ' Skookums ' sent out a dazzling ray, I was thrown in a spell and borne away. LOUISE HARRIS: I saw an open window, and my wings car- ried me in. LORRAINE HAGY: In my absent-mindness, as I zealously mem- orized poetry, I strayed into a group of madly cavorting colts. I was caught in the stampede and carried, I knew not whither. LILLIAN HENLEY: Encircled by my foes, I glided down Main Street to the tune of ' Slow and Easy. ' VELMA JONES: From the house on the hill, strains of music came. The day was wintry and I shivered from the cold. Was I to blame? BURTREZ JONES: I tested the cushions of the latest model flivver. LOTTYE KELLYE : I found solace in listening to sweet strains as I paced the floor in deep thought. MAURINE LONG: I nimbly performed acrobatic stunts upon the window ledge. DORA MOONEY: My only claim to greatness is this: I have a reserved seat in the Y. W. Parlor. MARY PEOPLES: Driven by hunger, I entered a hotel. My pocketbook was flat. When he asked me to dine, what could 1 say? ELLIE PORTER: My brother and I saw the ' Eyes of the World. ' The eyes saw me. TOMMYE ROANE: Sweet music lured me from my post. RUTH STEPHENSON: I became a human fly and got swat- ted! JIMMIE STRAIN: On polished floors, my feet led me astray. EVA THOMAS: I rode on the Tutwiler Special without a pass. HELEN WILLIAMS: Illness o ' ertook me as I wandered in a foreign land. CELESTE WALTERS: Alexander Graham Bell invented the dire executioner of my fate. MARY WILKIN: A vicious stack of bones pulled my helpless form around the campus. Like the disrespectful cat, I gazed at the queen. Our exploits have exceeded our wildest dreams.

Its purposes are three-fold ; to effect a closer spirit of co-operation between the various classes in the Manual Arts department, to disseminate a knowledge and appreciation of the possibilities of the Manual Arts and to promote the general cause of education along industrial lines. All students at present enrolled in the Manual Training Depart- ment, as well as all former students of the department, are eligible for membership. At the preliminary meeting, which was well attended, the idea of forming the club was enthusiastically received. Prof. C. H. Wilson, who had called the meeting, acting as temporary chairman, then set a date for a second session, at which time a permanent organi- zation could be effected. This was duly held and after much friendly disputation, involving the question of equal suffrage, the following officers were elected : President, Rollin V. Wilson ; Vice-President, Adrian Holden ; Secretary, Martha Peyton ; Treasurer, Eugene Robertson; and Historian, Dora Mooney. Incidentally the club considers itself fortunate in the choice of all its officers. Mr. Wilson will this year complete all of the courses offered in the Manual Training Department and has successfully directed the work in one of the Shelby County High Schools. Mr. Holden is taking both mechanical drawing and woodworking courses, while Miss Peyton and Mr. Robertson, both seniors, represent the Paper Industry and Mechanical Drawing work, respectively. The first official act of the president was to appoint an execu- tive committee consisting of Prof. C. H. Wilson, Prof. L. L. Sim- mons, Miss Peyton and Mr. Holden. This committee was to have general charge of outlining plans for the club including representation in the Annual, entertainment of visitors during the West Tennessee Teachers Association and appearances of Manual Art Club repre- sentatives on programs at the assembly hour. As may be noted from our photograph in this publication, the Manual Arts Club is an Equal Suffrage organization. Along with the invasion of nearly every other field of human endeavor the fair sex has gone into the Manual Training work. Their success goes without saying. The young women take the same courses as the men, work with the same tools, use the same machines and produce results that compare favorably with those achieved by the sterner sex. It is sufficient to say that at present there are eleven young women, former students of our institution, who are successfully teach- ing wood working and other Manual Arts subjects in West Tennes- see counties. Incidentally it is the testimony of our profs that, altho the young women, as a rule, take more time to construct a problem, the results in the majority of cases show greater accuracy and closer attention to details. Do not be misled with the idea that all Manual Arts students are taking courses with the idea of becoming special teachers of the subject. A person who has not done shop work cannot appreciate the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction that come to one after having planned some project and brought it to a successful completion. The joy of achievement ; the pleasure of beholding the handiwork of one ' s mind and hands ; these are rewards not to be attained by a perusal of the printed page.. We like the Manual Arts work and so would you if you tried it. The Manual Arts Club greets you.

OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR Rosalie McClellan, Denver Baughan .... President Mary Robison, Lois Hays Vice-President Frances Burch, Maud Somerville Treasurer Christine Shearer, John Ottinger Secretary THROUGHOUT this, its second year, the Latin Club, in the presentation of interesting bi-weekly programs and in giving a chapel meeting for the students and a classic play for the gen- eral public, has maintained the high standards set by the charter members. In this day of commercialized education, it is refreshing to find a Latin Club made up of a number of students who have an ap- preciation of and a love for the beautiful in the art and literature of the ancients. The most noteworthy achievement of the Latin Club this year was the writing and staging of a classic pantomime, Pipes of Pan. The proceeds from this play were used to purchase two pictures, The School of the Vestals, and Cicero ' s Oration against Catiline. These, together with an etching given by Miss Willie C. Johnson, formerly head of the Latin Department, were presented to the school at an attractive and appropriate program in chapel, March 26. Both in their bi-weekly meetings and in the production of public programs, the club members have been grateful for the direction and inspiring leadership of members of the faculty.

There have been teams which won more games and teams which made larger scores, but the 1919 aggregation has the proud distinction of being the first one to emerge victorious over our ancient rival, Central High. It was not only the victory, even though a one point margin would have made the Normal fans delirious with joy, but it was the added fact that our boys rolled up an overwhelming count of 26 to 0. Had it not been for a combination of circumstances, much to be regretted, in connection with the M. U. S. game, Normal would have been universally acclaimed City Champion. As a matter of fact, many sporting authorities, both by word of mouth and in the public press, pronounced the Normal School team the best aggrega- tion in Memphis and entitled to the championship Laurels. As it stood, however, accepting the M. U. S. game on the basis of the referee ' s score, Normal was awarded second place with Central High, Vocational High and Christian Brothers College, trailing in the order named. From the very first, indications pointed to a successful season. Capt. Baxter Crawford, Burke, Jones and Humphries were back from the S. A. T. C. squad and were ably reinforced by a number of new comers in the institution. The second week of pratice brought added enthusiasm for four huskies, all former Normal stars, each a former all-Memphis man, entered school. These were Rollin Wil- son, Richard Sorsby, Bob Berry and Hugh Washburn, all of whom had left school in 1917 to enter military service. Incidentally each of these students had made good. Sorsby, as Sergeant in A Battery 115th Field Artillery, returned with overseas stripes and a wound stripe. The other three, though denied the glory of oversea service, won commission on this side ; Berry in a Machine Gun Company, Washburn in the U. S. Air Service and Wilson in the Royal Canadian Flying Corps. Two other service men enlisted under the Normal banner, Gran- tham, who served in the 316th Field Artillery, A. E. F., and Mc- intosh, who saw duty on a sub-chaser in the U. S. Navy. As a mentor, the Athletic Committee selected Big Bill Thweatt who had won fame as a member of the championship Georgia Tech team in 1917, but business cares and other duties interfered with his coaching and he resigned after the second game. Very fortunately for Normal, just at this time Vic Campbell, who had coached the Normal outfit in 1917, obtained his discharge from the Navy and returned to Memphis. Campbell, actuated by love of the Normal School and fired with ambition by the presence of such a splendid squad, eagerly accepted the task of guiding the destinies of the team. He supplied the pep that had been lacking in the initial contests, drove the boys early and late and in short molded them into a real fighting unit. To Coach Campbell, above all others, is due the greatest credit for the team ' s success. A brief resume of the games in order will show how the team rounded into form and how it finally attained its pinnacle of dis- tinction. The initial contest was with the strong Union University eleven at Jackson, Tenn., coached by Joe Guyon, the Georgia Tech star. Page 109 jfdOtball, 1919 — Continued Our boys were outweighed about ten pounds to the man and were still further handicapped by a muddy field, but in spite of both these facts the game was bitterly contested. Neither side could gain consistently at straight football, so the game resolved itself into a punting duel in which Union finally got the lucky break. A speedy Union end snatched up a fumbled punt and raced half the length of the field for the only score of the game. The Normal lads demonstrated their gameness by keeping the ball in their opponents territory virtually all of the last half but lacked the necessary punch for a score. The final count was Union 6, Normal 0. The lucky Aggie boys at Jonesboro, Arkansas, were the, second opponents met. Here again our boys were destined to go down in defeat by the smallest of margins, but not until after a bitterly con- tested battle. For three-quarters of the game the ball surged back and forth, neither side gaining consistently and neither being able to score. Finally the excess in weight began to tell and Tankersly, the giant Aggie fullback, plunged over the line for a touchdown. The Normal Tigers, true to their name, came back with re- doubled fury. Three successful forward passes, netting over 60 yards, placed the ball within scoring distance of the Aggie goal but the final whistle stopped the rally. The final score was, Aggie 6, Normal 0. Following the second defeat Coach Thweatt decided to resign and, as before stated, Vic Campbell took over the responsibility. In his first week Coach Campbell put the team through work-outs which made their former efforts seem like child ' s play and which showed their value later on. Christian Brothers College, the first of the local teams to be met, was swamped by a score of 27 to 0, four touchdowns and three goals following, making up the total. At no time was the Normal goal in danger for the Tiger forwards tore through time after time and spilled plays behind the line. Sorsby and Grantham at tackle and Berry and Washburn on ends were especial luminaries in this re- spect. Whitwell, a second string half-back, substituting for Capt. Crawford, had the honor of making the first touchdown ; Rollin Wilson, the peerless quarterback, securing the others. Mcintosh at fullback also electrified the crowd by spectacular gains through the line. Our lads clearly outplayed the College boys in every de- partment of the game, and won handily without uncovering any passes or trick formations. The final score was Normal 27, C. B. C. 0. To write up the game with Memphis University School is an exceedingly difficult proposition because it is impossible for any Normal man to see it but one way. It was a bitterly fought contest, one which seemingly went against Normal in every particular and over which the controversy will never entirely cease. Both teams went into the game knowing that the City Champion- ship depended upon the outcome, and, as a result, the tackling and blocking were of the fiercest. On the initial kickoff, Capt. Craw- ford received a blow on the head which rendered him temporarily unconscious and which necessitated his removal from the game. Scarcely three minutes later, Washburn, who had been playing a stellar game at end, was carried from the field with a broken leg. These two accidents, for a time, served to disorganize the team and M. U. S. started the ball into Normal territory. Here a fake play, which caught our boys unaware, enabled Rainey to get away with a long forward pass for a touchdown. The scoring, however, simply Page 110 3?00ttjall, 1919 — Continued served to reorganize and infuriate the Tigers. They started down the field with a fierceness of attack that was not to be stopped. Gains by Wilson, Mcintosh and Snyder put the ball on the 10-yard line and a pass to Foster, who had gone in for Washburn, was caught behind the goal line. The referee claimed, for some reason, that the play was illegal, so contrary to expectations, Wilson made the same play, Foster taking the pass and making the touchdown which tied the score. From then on the struggle was a frenzied attempt to win or die in the attempt. Normal, weakened by substitutes, fought doggedly, not only against the M. U. S. eleven, but under what appeared to be the distinct opposition of the referee. Our boys worked the ball within striking distance and Wilson again assayed a pass. An M. U. S. player in attempting to block the pass knocked it directly into the hands of Mcintosh who sprinted across for the second touch- down. The score, however, was not allowed by the referee, who brought the ball back and put it in play again. M. U. S. then took the ball on downs and then came down the field with a series of cross bucks. At this point Sorsby, who had stood up under terrific punishment, was taken out, being apparently exhausted. The tigers held for downs three times on the 10 yard line, when a 5 yard penalty was assessed. Who the offender was, no one knows to this day. With this advantage, Gibbons managed to break through the remain- ing few yards for a score. Thus according to the referee — Zach Curlin — the final score became, M. U. S. 13, Normal 7. No one will ever convince the Normal supporters that their team was fairly defeated and this opinion was showed by many unprejudiced ob- servers. The following week the true worth of the Normal team was shown when, with competent officials and on a dry field, they ran rough shod over the hitherto undefeated eleven from Central High School. Incidentally this same eleven held M. U. S. to a scoreless tie only ten days later. Normal received, and after the first five minutes of play, their superiority became manifest. Steady gains by the entire backfield pressed the Green and Gold warriors backward toward their goal, fighting desperately but simply outplayed. To Rollin Wilson, the sterling field general, came the honor of the first score which was made on a plunge over right tackle. The first half ended, Normal 6, Central High 0. Between halves both teams were harrangued to fight to the limit. As the boys again took the field the tale was already told. The Normal vengeance was not to be denied. Successive gains by Craw- ford, Wilson, Snyder and Mcintosh again took the ball down the field and Pete went over for the second touchdown. Our boys went wild and the ex-champs simply lost heart. Within a few moments after play was renewed, Douglas broke through the high line, snatched a pass and went fifteen yards for a touchdown. The morale of our ancient rivals was completely broken. In vain the redoubt- able Capt. Peck Palmer tore at his auburn locks and called for a pass. In an attempted heave to this same individual the oval came hurling through the air only to find lodgment in the arms of Snyder who raced 20 yards in record time to make the final touchdown of the game. Crawford kicked an easy goal making the total Normal 27, Central High 0. Toward the close the affair became almost pathetic and Coach Campbell in derision sent in virtually all the second string men to finish the game. Every man in the Normal aggregation played stellar ball, but especially noticeable in the line Page 111 jfOOttmll, 1919 — Continued was the work of Dodds, who probably got more tackles than any other one individual. The game with Vocational High is of moment only because of two things. It cost us the services of two splendid players and showed the ability of the Normal second string men. Grantham, who played a wonderfully consistent game at tackle all season, suffered a fractured leg and Wilson twisted his ankle severely running back a punt. The final score was 27 to 7, Vocational slipping over a fake past a substitute end. Snyder played a wonderful game, being the only regular to go the entire game. This boy made the first score on a forward pass across the goal line and played a stellar game throughout. Wilson made the second score on a wide end run before going out and was succeeded by Humphries. Capt. Crawford got into the game in the second half and scored another touchdown on some well chosen plays. The final count came when Humphries received a punt and twisted his way through the entire opposition for a twenty-five yard run and a touchdown. The team journeyed to McKenzie, Tennessee, on Turkey Day to play the strong McTyiere team. Coach Campbell realized be- fore starting on the trip that it was a forlorn hope but the Normal reputation was at stake and he would not cancel. Five of the regu- lars were left at home on account of injuries: Washburn, Grantham, Berry, Wilson and Mcintosh and their absence was most keenly felt. Only two regulars were in the backfield, Snyder, who played his regular half and Capt. Crawford, who was compelled to assume the duties of quarterback. Even though unfamiliar to the position, he played a good game both on offense and defense and kept our boys in the fight all the way. The old Reliable Sorsby played his usual superb game, time after time breaking through and throwing his man for a loss. In addition to his work in the line he punted in a creditable manner. With our line up as in the High game the contest would doubt- less have been a close one. As it was our boys were outplayed but not out-gamed. With the score 35 to in the last quarter, they re- fused to give up and a forward pass, Crawford to Glascock, netted a touchdown and saved a shut out. The final count was 35 to 7. As previously stated, in spite of some reverses, the season was undoubtedly the most successful locally in the history of the Normal School. The president, faculty, and student body unite in giving honor to the team, the coach, and the entire squad. Gold foot-balls with the letter N embossed in blue were pre- sented to Berry, Burke, Coach Campbell, Capt. Crawford, Dodds, Douglass, Glascock, Grantham, Humphries, Jones, Mcintosh, Man- ager Murphy, Snyder, Sorsby, Washburn, Whitwell and Wilson, while letters were conferred on Tatum and DeSaussure. Wilson, Berry, Sorsby and Grantham all won well deserved places on the Mythical All-Memphis Eleven. Grantham, because of his splendid showing, was chosen to be Captain of the Tigers in 1920, and we expect great things of him. Page 1U Pasietmll THE 1920 BASEBALL SEASON is starting with a bright out- look under the leadership of Captain Baxter Crawford and Coach Elmer George. Read next year ' s Annual and you ' ll probably have cause to exult over an all-victorious team. But as the Annual folk are clamoring for copy, we shall have to acquaint you with the 1919 team at this time. So, paraphrasing O. Henry, Mr. Loyal Reader, meet the Normal Baseball Team of 1919,— on the next page. We are proud of them. Their season was the most successful of recent years. Out of a total of twelve interscholastic games, nine were won, every series being won except one. Of special note is the fact that Normal defeated two teams of college rank, taking three out of four from Union University and winning the only contest played with the local branch of the University of Tennessee. The two games played with High School were without a doubt two of the best games of amateur ball played in Memphis, especially the last game, which rocked along a 1 to 1 tie until the thirteenth (13) inning. High scored in the first inning and Normal tied it in the fifth. With two gone, and a man on second and third, Moore, in an attempt to catch the runner off third, made a perfect peg, and here the old High Luck came back, by the runner getting hit on the head by the ball, which bounced into left field. The runner easily scored from third, thus entitling High to the game, score 2 to 1. If space would permit, a detailed write-up of the individuals of the team would be given, but suffice it to say every man on the squad is deserving of praise. The personnel was as follows : Pitchers, Patrick, Shoemaker, Bradshaw and Phelan ; Catcher, Moore ; First- base, Leake; Second, Aycock, Captain; Third, Craig; Shortstop, Crawford ; Outfielders, Faulkner, Wilson, Johnston and Farnsworth ; Utility, Humphreys, Carnes and Hamner. The team was under the able leadership of Coach C. H. Wilson.

Mary was a captain who really got into the game and in- spired the team by her tireless efforts. She excelled in every phase of the game, but especially in goal shooting. When she played, she lost sight of every thing except wanting a clean victory, and she usually got it, for Mary was the backbone of the best team Normal ever put on the field. INEZ LOVELACE — The spectacular forward, who stacked the cards for Normal. She was always a sure bet, because under that mass of red curls an agile brain directed every play she made. Shooting goals was but a pastime to her, and she rolled them in with the ease of intensive practice, coupled with un- erring skill. A star by virtue of her goals and an advocate of team play, Inez was one of the best players Normal ever pro- duced. ANIBEL YANCY — Our elastic jumping center who stretched old Normal to victory. By skillful use of her natural height and agility, she always succeeded in tipping the ball into her for- wards ' hands. When Anibel made a leap into the air, her op- ponents knew it was time to look out, for Normal was bound for victory. He feet were off the floor most of the time, but when she did keep them out of the air, how she could cover the ground, and what teamwork she displayed! ELISE STRONG — The quickest side center in existence. She seemed to know just where the ball was going because she was always there waiting for it, and when she got it, she knew just where to put it. Now in the air, now crouching near the floor, the enemy never knew where to find her. Like a tiger she fought for the Blue and Gray. Her team work was unsur- passed, and also her individual feats of stellar rank. MARY KYLE — A guard who stuck closer than a brother. In the defensive ranks, Mary played a steady game which was hard to beat. Like a wall she placed herself in front of her opponent, leaping, bending, stooping, even crawling, if necessary, until the ball was in her possession. She did not know what it meant to be discouraged. Her object was to prevent the enemy from tossing goals, and she was some preventive. LEE BROWN — Another guard who belonged in the same class as Mary — With an unconcerned look on her face, she took a stand and watched her opponents darting here and there waiting for the ball; then, after letting her tire herself, Lee calmly stepped in, and sent the ball hurling through space to Normal ' s end of the court. She was most effective in keeping the enemy on the jump, and outplaying them with her deliberate method. No forward ever got the best of Lee. She was always there. VOICE OF THE TEAM MRS. TEUTON — Our dear little coach, whom everyone, not only her team, adores. ' Tis true she is small, and although she was q uestioned frequently as to her position on the team and com- pelled by bands of matrimony to refuse more dates than any of us had a chance to accept, she is none other than our capa- ble coach who stood up for us through thick and thin. This is her motto, Frank first, basket ball second, but he sometimes thought it the reverse, for he declared himself married to a living basket ball. When a stronger fort was necessary, he was always t-h-e-r-e.

Central High School, who won over them twice, won both times by one wee point, and when Normal Tigers crawled onto them with unbounded deter- mination they sent them down to a low defeat, by a score of 36 to 16. Thus in the three games Normal scored 79 points and C. H. S. only 61. Now why aren ' t they the Champs? During the season, several delightful trips were enjoyed by the team. The season was opened by a merry truck ride to Whitehaven. Next they went to Trenton, a trip teeming with victory and fun, and then to Union City. At the close of the season, April 5th, Mr. and Mrs. Teuton, the guardians, tendered a most delightful Easter Banquet to the Victorious Team in Mynders Hall. On this occasion two lovely cakes were presented to the team by Mrs. Hayden and Miss Pritchett. On several occasions Misses Norment and Bunch contributed to the happiness of the team by serving tempting dishes after victorious games. Page 111 WLmtttm WAITRESSES are of many and divers kinds. My cousin Bridget and I were enumerating them last evening. There is the disappearing waitress, who goes out of the room at the one important moment, just when you need her most, and doesn ' t come back until you have masticated the food that needed the attend- ant utensil. She is of the disappearing genus, and that is all that any scientist, biologist, or psychologist will ever make out of her. Then, there is the never-quite-ready waitress. There is always a last missing spoon for her to lay on the table, or the napkins have been forgotten. She forgets things systematically as if by rule. Then, to be somewhat zoological for the moment, there is the startled-deer waitress, the kind who always jumps like a startled deer when you speak to her. The worst of it is, that underneath it all this gentle creature has such a kind heart. If you were sick in the attic, with a house full of company and she had to trot upstairs three times a day with a large leaden tray, sprayed with silver plate and full of dishes, she wouldn ' t complain. There are, also, other kinds of waitresses, the bog-trotting kind, who lope around the table, and in some strange, uncanny, and weird fashion have a way of seeming methodically and apologetically to drop their heels on the floor. There is the kind who never did things your way before, and she has lived with the very best in the land, too; the kind whose mistress was always so good to her and made her a present of a gold watch and chain on Christmas Day ; the kind where the husband, in her last place, was always such a perfect gentleman ; the clattering waitress, the slower than cold molasses waitress, and the waitress who does fairly well when there is no one to dinner, but when you have company, always gets rattled. Then, of course, there is the perfect waitress. My dear cousin Bridget says we have had one of that kind. The first day she comes you are afraid to speak for fear something will happen to displease her. She is all subdued, and speaks in dim religious half-tones. The second day, you remark that you can scarcely believe it is true, for really, you know, reader, you haven ' t had to tell her a thing so far. The third day, you begin cautiously, but in accents well-defined, to brag about her to your friends. The fourth day, you have a pre- sentment, and on the sixth day, when, in a modest quiet, well-modu- lated, respectful voice, she informs you that she doesn ' t believe she will stay, you accept her decision without argument or protestation — well knowing that such protestation would do no good. For in her eyes you see that you are not quite up to the mark. You have been weighed and found wanting. There comes to you presently a weak, ambitious moment, when you long to ask her her reason, in the hope that by thus knowing your own defects, you may succeed with the next one who, in the goodness of Providence, may come to you. But, reader, you brush this impulse sternly aside, and full of stiff-necked pride, you permit her to depart, while you settle back once more , with despair in your heart, into the tranquillity of your own little domes- tic sea. —P.

Mrs. Mynders subsides in despair. Curtain M. W. and R. B. Jfflaurme ' g passenger The day was warm and sunny, a typical, spring day, though it was yet early in February. Most of the pupils whose classes were over were scat- tered here and there over the campus, enjoying the pleasant change from cold to warm weather. The two girls sitting on the side steps did not accomplish very much, for every few minutes someone would pass and ask what they were doing. Finally they gave up the idea of writing and strolled away in the direction of the drug store. On the basket ball court a practice game was in swift progress. The voices of the players, as they laughed and shouted, seemed filled with the joy of the magical sunshine and the zest of the game. The black and white calves in the pasture behind the school must have been having a game too, for they gamboled about, playfully but- ting their heads together. Not far from them some hens were scratching industriously in the earth, which would soon be sending forth the bright spring flowers. Just in front of the dormitory a more animated scene was in progress. Maurine Long, a new girl who had been at the Normal school only four days, was entertaining a group of girls. She had somewhere unearthed a dilapidated-looking old wheel-barrow, and was giving everyone who had the necessary amount of courage a ride. While the possessor of the wheelbarrow was looking for another victim, a young woman in a brown coat hurried out of the main building and towards the group. Now watch me speed with this girl down to the Flats, boasted Maurine. Say, Maurine, don ' t you know that she ' s — But the whispered warning came too late. Maurine was calling. Hey! Don ' t you want me to ride you to the car line? Why, no think you, I ' ll just walk, the young lady replied in a rather surprised voice. Oh come on, urged the would-be transporter, hastening towards her victim. And brushing aside all protests, she pushed the unwilling passen- ger into the wheel barrow, saying, Aw don ' t be such a scared cat! It may look rickety, but I just rode Harriett Kibler in it, so you ' re safe. But don ' t go so fast! cried the girl as she made a wild grab for her hat. Now don ' t be so silly, I ' m not going to dump you out. And silence reigned till the car line was reached. When Maurine came trotting triumphantly back with her empty wheel- barrow, she called to the seemingly hysterical girls. Who was she? Between gasps of merriment, one of them shouted, Miss Beckham, our history teacher. Page 121 3 Batlp (Occurrence The Normal School car stops at Belvedere. Miss Rubye Batte, beaming, takes her third of the seat by Mr. Vaughan. You almost lost your place this morning. I had to fuss with several pretty ladies to keep it for you, Mr. Vaughan said with a look of heroic accomplishment. I don ' t care. I didn ' t want to sit by you anyway, teasingly replied Miss Batte, absolutely sure of her right to the monopoly of the seat. I say. You ought to come over this morning. My Seniors are being introduced to Walt Whitman. Oh! I can ' t stand him. He gets on my nerves. Miss Batte seems peevish this morning. Hush! You know you don ' t mean it! quickly retorted Mr. Vaughan, scandalized that anyone should attack his favorite. Why, what more poetical line can be found in all the English language than this: ' The boy I love; the same becomes a man Fond of his sweetheart, relishing well his steak ' ; ' I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world ' ; ' At apple-peelings wanting kisses for all the red fruit I find ' ; ' Sit awhile, dear son, here are biscuits to eat, and milk to drink; ' ' Long I was hugged close, long and long. ' Well, if you don ' t like those, I think these are delightful. You know he doesn ' t express everything, but gives a little hint and leaves the rest to you. Just think about these lines and tell me what you think of them: ' I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law; Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel with me ' ? Here he is interrupted by the conductor ' s call of, All out for Old Maid ' s Paradise (Messick school stop). And, Willie Eugene is left no assurance or recognition. AAA Dr. F ' inley: Why did John Dewey write ' The Philosophy of Education ' ? Denver Baughan: That ' s what I want to know. AAA Mr. Manning, in chapel: I wish all Seniors to sit on the first five seats tomorrow. AAA Mr. Evans: I will be glad when Adam gets out of the gosling stage. Ifjo ' s; Mi)o, on Remembering 01b Jfrtenotf Ye friends of my school days, whose images haunt me I can see you at present as you were in the past, O Maurine, your lies how they often did taunt me, My dear, they were surely in artful cast. Again, I remember the gassiest gossip, For Helen could make those marvelous tales fly. Again, I can see Grady seize at a tip, As, stalling, he tries Mr. Vaughan to get by. The steadiest steadies, Thompson and Wilson, And Tatum and Mooney the cuttin ' est cutters, Whose memory time will never yet lessen, Were hailed on all sides by envious mutters. O! Mary Kincannon, the most popular girl, Unfaded your memory dwells in my breast; And you, thou possessors of beauty, unfurl Thy charms and delights, Rosalie and Celeste. How plainly I see now Maude Odle, the grinder, And Katherine, the giggliest giggler recall. Eunice, shy maiden, could need no reminder, And Dora Mooney who vamped boys, one and all. Here ' s Newton, well-known as the biggest bone-head. And Helen, that original girl, I see, John Lippincott goes with a bashful-like tread; How handsome Eugene appears to me. In popular favor we also find Gene. Dr. Finley, our teacher, we all adored ; Miss Proctor, most popular lady teacher is seen; The pupils who loved her, her smiles still hoard. ' Tis now many years since in school together Prospects of the future we used to view, Records of their past are now bound in leather. Ah, they were the friends whom my school days knew. Page 122 tTfje Jflost g tucfe=®p !£trl in g ct)ool Sh-h-h, don ' t talk so loud, for I know that meddlesome, conscientious head monitor will hear us and we will be reported to the Council without any warning, remarked Helen Williams in a low voice. Ruth Falls, Anna Mary Hanna, Mary Robison and Lucile Derryberry were lounging in Helen ' s cozy room on the second floor of Mynders Hall, planning for a midnight luncheon. I have a list here of some things we must get at Mrs. Brooks ' this afternoon, Helen said. All of us go right after Chorus and get the things, then just as soon as the lights go out hurry up to my room and then — I ' ll bring some sandwiches and pickles and if we should happen to have salad for supper, I ' ll swipe a bowl, Anna Mary volunteered. I ' ll bring that big fruit cake Auntie sent yesterday, added Derry. This was Lucille ' s pet name by which she was known through the school. There will be plenty of candy and fruit for I will see to that, Mary remarked. Mary had been president of the Y. W. C. A., but this did not keep her from being the leader of the crowd known as the Fun Lovers. Mary was not a beautiful girl, but with her glossy black hair, twinkling brown eyes, quaintly pointed chin and sunny smile, she was far from ugly. All during the morning exercises these girls had a restless look which did not escape the piercing eyes of the Head Monitor. She was disgusted with Mary because of her persistency in having feasts after lights, and she was determined to catch up with her escapades if she could. She tried in every possible way to find out just what Mary ' s crowd was planning, but she was kept in the dark. At last she decided to follow them that afternoon. She was prevented from doing this by Miss Lizzie ' s request to play Rook with her, and the Fun Lovers were saved. When night came it found the plotters much excited, but overjoyed because of the fact that the Head Monitor was spending the night on first floor. After the lights were out and everything was still and quiet, four girls, clad in dainty kimonos, lacy caps, and soft-soled bedroom slippers stole silently down the long hall and entered Helen ' s room. In the center of the room Helen had placed a small collapsible table which she brought from home and kept hidden in the bottom of her trunk. A dainty cover was on the table and cushions were arranged around it on the floor, to serve as seats for the guests. The room was dimly lighted by candles. Soon the girls were busy arranging the dishes on the table. After all the work was done and they were ready to begin eating, Mary suddenly exclaimed, Oh, I had almost forgotten to tell you something. There was some hot chocolate left from supper, for I went to the kitchen and saw it on the table, just worlds of it. We can slip down and get that and heat it on my chafing dish. Well, I wish we had it up here now, Anna Mary complained, for I am almost afraid to go after it. Nonsense, Mary hooted, you know every one is asleep by this time and we can be real quiet and take a flashlight so we can see. I ' d like to know what will keep us from getting it. Derry volunteered to stay and watch things but the others would not hear to this, for they were afraid she would eat something while they were gone. Ruth crept to the door and peeped down the hall. She gave the signal that the coast was clear and slipped out, followed by the rest. Just as they reached the stairway Anna Mary stumbled and nearly fell down the steps. The girls crouched low for they heard a door open. Miss Lizzie ' s head appeared at the end of the hall, and the girls scarcely breathed for they were sure they were caught. Well, that ' s strange. I was sure I heard footsteps and some one fall, but I suppose it was my imagination. And for some unknown reason Miss Lizzie went back into her room and closed the door. The frightened girls breathed a sigh of relief and proceeded on their journey. After much giggling and stumbling they at last reached the kitchen. To their surprise no chocolate was visible. Mary finally decided to look in the pantry for that was the only conceivable place to which it could have been taken. With the aid of the flashlight she located it on a high shelf. She knew she would have to climb on something to reach it. Finally Mary said, Ruth, hold the flashlight so I can see and I will get up on this barrel and I am sure I can reach it then. She climbed on the barrel and found she could easily reach it. She handed the jar to Derry and then turned to get down, but horrors — As she turned, something broke, and she found herself up to her neck in a barrel of the blackest, stickest molasses imaginable. The popular Miss Mary Robison was indeed the most Stuck-up girl at Normal. Page 123 t)e Jfflfomgljt Jfea terg Jgone l cati Enotolebge At twelve o ' clock one Friday night, we had a terrible scare. Lucille and Dora, Polly, and Kate, — the entire crowd was there. Frances and Margaret, Gladys and Mary were feasting and laughing so gay, For Mary was telling a marvelous joke — what did the third man say? But hark ! Came a rap at the firmly locked door. Out went the light, to hiding places we tore. ' Twas but an alarm, we again turned on the light, And made as much noise as any prize fight. When again at the door, there came a stern knock; We became quite still, so great was the shock. ' Tis Miss Lizzie, Lucile. Open the door, And turn on the light. We all hid once more. To the closets fled Mary and Gladys and Frank ; Polly and Dora beneath the bed covers sank; Margaret and Kate rolled under the bed. Lucille opened the door, then hid her head. In walked Miss Lizzie and the head monitor too. We found ourselves in a terrible stew, She opened the closets and pulled us all out, Then jerked off the covers, ere we knew what she was about. Come out, Margaret Smith, from under that bed ; I know who you are. Show your face, she said. And there stood the head monitor taking our names; They thought they ' d break up our feasting games. Don ' t you believe it, ' cause we ' re going to eat, Altho ' Monday night, the Council will meet. AAA In Kappa Meeting Ruth Falls, President, said: I shall ask Emily Thompson, Lillian Hum- phreys, and Grace Thompson to think up something cute to have in chapel next Wesdnesday. Lillian: Why not have Mary Robison wear bloomers that day? I think that would be real cute. (Paul Miller volunteered to assist). Maud Somefville: This bread must have come from Jonah ' s ark. Anna Alary: Miss Lizzie, my lover is going to Cuba. Miss Lizzie: To Havana? Anna Mary: No, to Cuba. Louise Harris, in English 66 class: An elegy is something you write about somebody dead. An ode is something that you put all your imagin- ation and everything in. Note: Mr. Vaughan: Why Miss Harris, you speak as a seven-year-old child. Mary Robison, in Latin class: Miss Wilson, do you like warmed over biscuits for breakfast? Miss Wilson: (absently) No, why? Mary: Well, you always make me read yesterday ' s left overs. Mr. Vaughan, in English 53: Eugene, what is a paragraph. Eugene: Well, oh yes! It is when you say anything in a short way. Note: Now girls, if Eugene starts to make love and comes straight to the point you will know he is illustrating a paragraph. Mary Wilkin: Mr. Austin, how would you employ motivation in teach- ing songs to a child? Mr. Austin: Why — er — Miss Wilkin, take, for instance, ' Baa, baa, Black Sheep, ' you might sing it scale-wise and skip-wise. Maurine Long: (After an experiment with chloroform in chemistry) Have you ever taken chloroform? Monta Hughes: No, who teaches it? Rosalie McClellan, reporting to Mr. Hayden: I found arsenic and alimony in my solution. Mr. Teuton: (In Agriculture) What fruits do you prefer? Mr. Ozment: Dates with peaches. Miss Buquo: What is an expletive? Katherine Richards: I ' ve got it in my notebook. Page 12!, Page 125 ulmgg for Campusteeb ixl 1. Not to throw water out of windows on the boys. 2.

Dr. Finley — Not that rent is higher, but neurone activity is at a premium in the A pigeon hole. AAA West b eo Etmono How oft have I seen that old red kimono, When late at night I was having such fun. At twelve o ' clock, one o ' clock, sometimes e ' en later, And every time it shone bright as the sun. How many a time after lights have gone out, Have I seen that kimono come in at the door. That kimono of Miss Lizzie ' s, that kimono that haunts us I wish that I had to see it no more. The old red kimono, Miss Lizzie ' s kimono, The old red kimono, that is such a bore. M. A. W. m z Pells; Our life at Normal is ruled by bells, All that we do is to hark to their knells; From early morn ' till out goes the light, E ' en in our dreams they haunt us at night. The rising bell rings at six-forty-five, And makes us wonder if we ' re dead or alive. As half awake and half asleep We wish that bell were buried deep. In forty minutes the watch bell rings, With a solemn clangor its message it sings, And then for breakfast it clangs once more (For ham and eggs we vainly implore). To all of our classes we are called by the bell, What sadness it causes, no tongue can tell, But it also relieves us from study and toil, Joyfully then it peals in a turmoil. At one o ' clock it shouts with glee As it calls us to table our beans to see. The laundry bell says, bring on your dough Or I won ' t wash your clothes no mo ' . At half past nine it peals again; Have a good time till the clock strikes ten. Then to bed it orders us all Exhausted by work, in deep slumber we fall. M. A. W. AAA Jane: Why, Paul, So you have sent his pin. Did you give him back his ring? Paul: Goodness! No. Diamonds have gone up since it was bought, so I offered to give him what he paid for it. Dr. Finley: I am tempted to give you a test. Senior: Yield not to temptation. rage 126 Can Ifou imagine ouj tEfjep et Wv Miss Lizzie out of pills? Miss Buquo standing on her head?

For two weeks, I have to suffer, And the time is long and sad. As I look out of my window, And see the boys go strolling by, I want to talk to one so badly That I cannot help but cry. The drug store beckons me, but vainly, Trips to it are now taboo. When I want ice cream so sorely, I must send for it by you. (By a Campusee, with apologies to Longfellow) When my classes are all over, I must hie me to the dorm. All I live for is my supper, ' Tis all I have my heart to warm. A meeting ' s called of all the students, But I am not allowed to go. In vain I beg Maude for permission; The answer ' s ever a stern, No! Athletic games I love so dearly Must be played without me there; Tho ' I want to go so badly, I lament and tear my hair. Picture shows e ' en on the campus Are forbidden now to me. And I ' m the saddest, loneliest mortal That you ' ll ever, ever see. Now, felow students, heed this warning, I assure you that I know, Indulge yourself in good behavior, With sinfulness, go slow! If e ' er you ' re called before the Council, Treat them with profound respect, If you don ' t, I ' m here to tell you That you ' ll get it in the neck. M. A. W. Virginia Hazel-zvood: Just look at that Taylor girl. Why does she cling so when she dances? Jane Dainiuood: Why, didn ' t you know her name was Ivy? A A A Louise James: (head monitor, going to Harriet Kibler ' s room late at night) Girls, I wish you wouldn ' t move the furniture after lights. Harriet: (sleepily) Why, I was only turning over in bed. AAA Ruth Griffin, in chapel before song: Grady, do you know ' Annie Laurie ' ? Grady: I don ' t know; since I have started my campus course I have met so many ladies I can ' t remember them all. AAA Mr. Vaughan (exasperated) — I ' ll declare those Seniors put everything off till the last minute. I wonder when they expect to graduate — the last moment, I guess. AAA Robertson, on entering the Kenney Coffee House: Is Mr. Kenney in? Clerk: No. Mr. Kenney has been dead for twenty years. Mary Wilkin — My highest ambition is to be president of the Student Council. Anne Stone — Quit knocking on the Council. AAA Miss Augustus, in Eng. 51 — An asylum is a place of refuge for people incapable of protecting themselves from murderers, thieves, street cars, and other evil minded things. AAA Maude Somerville: But, Doctor, before I depart you had better see if my tongue is coated. Dr. Graves: Oh, no. You never find grass on a race track. AAA Late for watch, Mary Robison thrust her head in the door just in time to pray breathlessly, Lord, we thank Thee for getting us here. AAA Denver (hard at work on his debate) — The Mexicans should not be warred against, because You know La Vera is a cute girl. Page 128 Efje Spirit of JflpnoersT 2 aU What is it that steals so softly after lights are out? We never can quite see it, but we often hear it shout. It laughs with laughs unholy, it defies the monitors; Maud Odle tries to catch it, but poor success is hers. Miss Lizzie oft joins in the chase — pursuance but vain, As soon as she goes back to bed, strange sounds are heard again. It alway leaves its mark behind, we never see it pass; It moves about perniciously as chiggers in the grass. It puts dry bread crumbs in our bed, vile perfume on our pillow; It wanders round from room to room and ties the doors together. Sometimes it takes what we have to eat and hides it from our sight. It paints our faces as we sleep, and makes us look such frights. In telling yarns, it does excel, likewise in playing jokes, It sews our sheets together, and it picks out certain folks. What is this curious thing? I hear the question fall. It is the spirit of mischief — the Spirit of Mynders Hall. M. A. W. Ruth Falls: (Telling of her trip to Blue Ridge) I looked out and saw the moon shining on the river. And, O-oh-wee! It made me feel like I loved everybody. uleg for QTable jWanners; 1. Always remain as close to dining room door as possible until the bell taps, and then run over a few people and knock down a couple of chairs in a mad rush for the home base. It is good exercise and looks cute. 2. Don ' t forget to turn your plate over while blessing is being asked. That is the best way to get a blessing. 3. Make all the noise possible in drinking your soup. It is good for the appetite of those around you. 4. In preparing your breakfast food, fill your bowl level full of cream. You can ' t use it all of course, but it ' s good to dabble in. 5. If you drop your knife, fork, or spoon on the floor, don ' t use it again without wiping it thoroughly on your sleeve, or on the table cloth. 6. If you spill something on the table cloth, act the fool. One way to do this is to cover your face with your napkin and scream. Another way is to make a wild dash for the door and run all the way to your room. Either one will attract attention and properly advertise the mishap. 7. If the waiter is delayed in bringing something that is needed, get mad and call Mrs. Perkins. It will do you good and encourage the waiter. 8. Before passing anything, take half of it yourself. It ' s nobody ' s busi- ness. 9. Never pass anything until it is asked for three or four times. Your business is to eat — not to wait on the table. 10. Leave your plate full of stuff, and be sure to have it well smeared with butter. Mrs. Perkins don ' t care. Butter is cheap and makes the plate easy to wash. 11. Put as much sugar in your coffee as it will dissolve. If you use a reasonable amount someone might think you were not used to sugar. 12. Don ' t eat a biscuit at less than three bites. Tne best way is to take the top at one bite and the bottom at two. 13. If anyone makes an announcement, keep the knives and forks rat- tling. The person can talk better to an accompaniment. 14. When you leave the dining room, walk just as fast as you can. Mrs. Perkins may grab your bread or the house may fall before you get out. V. J.

OAK HALL One Store Only 55 North Main Street Page Ho Street Railway Service At Cost BY ORDER of the State Commission, street railway service in Memphis is to be rendered at actual cost and fares may vary from time to time. Enough money must be taken in but no more than enough to provide the following: ( 1 ) Actual cost of generating power and of currently maintaining and operating the system. (2) Actual amount required for taxes. (3) Actual amount necessary to insure replacement of property when worn out or obsolete, thereby insuring continuously the existence of the system for public use. (4) Actual amount required to pay judgments and other damage claims. (5) Actual amount necessary to pay not less than 6 % nor more than 7 4% upon the amount invested by the owners of the property. Any surplus earned over the amount required to meet the above cannot be used except as basis for controlling fares. IT FOLLOWS, therefore, that under cost of service plan every street car rider is interested : ( 1 ) In the number of passengers carried. The more passengers the lower the fare; the fewer passengers, the higher the fare. (2) In seeing that accidents do not occur. Acci- dents increase cost of service, therefore, tend to increase fares. (3) In seeing that fair treatment in courts is accorded the Receivers. Unjust judgments must be paid and will increase cost of service. Increased volume of traffic, reduction of accidents, the elimination of unjust judgments and economy in opera- tion are the controlling factors in the cost of service plan. The public and the owners are in effect partners in the enterprise and have a community of interest. T. H. TUTWILER FRANK S.
