Memphis State University - DeSoto Yearbook (Memphis, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1922 volume:

De oto 1W2 foreword T T is the purpose of the staff in this volume of the DeSoto to construct an Annual that will stand the flood of future cares and joys; and hold the glorious days of youth spent at Nor- mal. In years to come may our life retain the spirit of our College days as portrayed in this, the 1922 DeSoto. A S a token of love and respect to her who, by years of noble ser- vice and friendship, has won a lasting place in our hearts and the hearts of all Normal students, we the senior class of 1 922 gladly dedicate this vol- ume of the DeSoto to MRS.

When last ole Normal met my view; But years have passed since that glad day, Yet wondrous things still come my way. For years I worked my tired brain, Tho ' all my efforts seemed in vain. To find the formula divine That would reveal in pantomine. Before my eyes without delay, Just any scene that 1 might say. At last my efforts were repaid. For a magic liquid 1 had made, Which brought before my wondering gaze The scenes of dear ole Normal days; These called to mind the friends so dear. Whom 1 hadn ' t seen for — lo, many a year. So I gazed into the liquid blue. And thought of the class of twenty-two; That 1 might learn the fate of each. Of those who went away to teach. The liquid cleared I saw a church, For one at least I ceased to search; For there stood Robert not to teach. But he had chosen instead to preach; I wondered why we never guessed. That he was with this talent blessed; Though we did not know he was inspired, He was by all his friends admired. But more than admired by one was he, And now his own fair bride was she. The next picture that comes to view, Was of an old friend tried and true; It was Catrina still at work, No unpleasant duty did she shirk; But on the street in any weather. The news of the day she got together. The best reporter on the staff. Of the New York Sun. I had to laugh; When I thought of the fuss she used to make. Cause we didn ' t write-up for the Columns sake. Over the liquid came a cloud Which passed away. I saw a crowd; That stood and waited for a car. Which was approaching from afar. And on the platform, there on the stool, Sat the official bell ringer of Normal School; Our Maddox a motorman had become. And he made the old bell fairly hum. But Zaida was the next 1 saw, Her beauty was still without a flaw; An artist ' s model was Zaida fair. With her creamy skin and golden hair. But this artist chap possessed a heart That was not proof against cupid ' s dart. So he asked her if his bride she ' d be And now a model wife is she. 1 now saw by means of my magic invention One of our class that surely needs mention; Ethel with patience to equal old Job, Is making a tour of the entire globe. In search of adventure she sails the blue sea, Her reason to most is a deep mystery; But this 1 discovered by just one look She is now getting ready to write a book. Another also travels it seems, Allean is traveling selling face creams; And other products which she invented, Such as tonics and soaps all highly scented. In the world of invention she ' s the rival of Edison, But her special line is — Patent Medicine. Two of the class had won renown. One as an actress the other as clown; Eunice was a movie star of note. While Austin the man with the funny coat; Had long ago put Chaplin to shame. And had risen to the heights of fame. But I must tell of the other four I found Margaret in the ten cent store. She sold everything from raisens to shoes, And with your purchase told you the latest news. John Cummings was still a great talker. But his official capacity was as floor walker; In an establishment of ladies ready to wear. Why he even knew the color of each customers hair. And so interested was he in his company ' s success. That he insisted on getting each lady ' s address; And invited each one to please call again. But strange to say he didn ' t notice the men. Mae it seemed was an old maid. But not from choice I am afraid. But the spirit of optimism was she; And her hopes were still as bright as could be. She spent her time to very good advantage. Proving to inankind how well she can manage, For she was a matron at a school for boys, And was getting a triffle deaf from the noise. And then before my view there came. The face of one who was ever the same; The fate of Mrs. Holland my magic revealed. And her reason for happiness no longer concealed, In a dear little cottage surrounded by trees. She lived with one purpose her husband to please. She had won honors and degrees by the score. But one degree she prized more and more. Her M. r. s. degree was of purest gold. And she found it worth working for so 1 am told. The vision ceased — the liquid vanished, My hopes for the future all were banished; For now alas! it was too late. For me to learn my own sad fate; But when you read these simple lines. Just give a thought to the one who signs Her name to this — the prophecy. Of the best class to leave West Tennessee; Whenever you think of Twenty-two, Remember your classmate and friend, — Jettrue. 42 43 i IT III JUNIOR CLASS Clifford Hein President A Man of Wit Frances Clark Vice-President If I am not so large as you You are not so small as I, And not half so spry.

Key Hart Vice-President Joe Austin Secretary Camille Cocke Treasurer Maud Somerville Motto — To be rather than to seem. Class Colors — Pink and Green. Flower — Sweet Pea. The history of the Sophomore Class of ' 22 is not very lengthy, but it is of such character as to make every Sopho- more of ' 22 justly proud. By a happy fortune, we w ho as 48 first year college students should be feeling the humiliation of being termed Freshies, have made our debut into Normal School life as Sophomores. We have left that title, timidity, and difficulty to the little Three As, that verdant band of Third Year Academics, and boldly we have started on our way w ith determination to obtain know ledge and to keep pace with our fellow Normalites. When the achievements of the year are reviewed, it will not always be the big things that count, but the many little deeds nobly done will be the trade- mark of quality of the present Sophomore Class. In athletics, the Sophomores have not been found lack- ing. It is with the greatest pride that we claim six of the letter men, stars of the gridiron, who have won their N ' s, those boys who represent the highest type of manhood and 49 honor in the institution. One of these is the president of our class, one vv as captain of our football team this season, and one has been elected Captain of the team for the coming year. The Captain of the girl ' s basketball team was also a Sophomore. Few may know that these boys and girls are from the ranks of the Sophomore Class, for ours is not the braggart type found in some classes, but conservative in man- ner, speech a nd character. With these characteristics the Sophomores are endeavoring to pave the way for the duties and tasks we shall encounter when we reach our Senior dignity. The Sophomore Class of ' 22 not only has an enviable record in Athletics, but also a record and progress in the re- citation rooms that will compare favorably w ith any other class in school. Investigation reveals that from our band the honor roll is mainly formed. We are proud to say that w e possess 50 one fair student vv hose grade for the past term was a record of 2A ' s and 4A ' s. Who would not be proud to belong to a class w ith this student as a model? Our class claims also four of the six Inter-Normal debators for this year. Numbers are often said to be a disadvantage for organi- zation, but the Sophomores have found that in numbers is our strength. When the gong sounded for chapel, the first day of school, September 1921, approximately fifty w ould-be Freshmen assembled in the auditorium of Ole Normal. Within a very short time, we were organized, and although our career for the year has not been as fruitful as many other classes w e have passed the stress of Freshman days and the Sophomore year, and before many moons, we hope to pass to Juniordom, then into Seniordom, with a success that will leave imperish- able the memories of our band at Normal. lilt 51 I ' l; Ml ' 4AICLA 52 ■T ' 1 — ■■■■ 7 - ' - ' ||.|T |p-,-j- 4A CLASS Maurice Haste, (President) Memphis, Tennessee Society — Seymore A.

The Chapters are alw ays sponsored by a Masonic body, and much speculation is therefore prevalent as to its real object. Some think it is a body of youthful Masonry, but the facts reveal that it is no part of Masonry and no solicitation is permitted by those who are priviledged to attend its meetings in behalf of Masonry. The organization is made up of Master Mason ' s sons and their chums. All boys betw een the ages of 1 6 and 2 I are eligible to the degrees. The great aim of the chapter is to teach and practice the virtues of a clean upright, patriotic and reverant living for boys preparatory to the approach of manhood. A Master Mason ' s son has no preferred claim on these virtues; for any boy born into this world is entitled to all the rights and benefits of such teachings. If churches found a hospital to afford relief to suffering humanity, and after they have performed their duty and brought health and joy to some home, it would be a breach of courtesy and a real insult to good conscience for the church to solicit the restored individual to become a member of its particular organization by a reference to w hat it has done. It is to be hoped that the parent who is not a Mason, will not get the idea that the De Molay is instituted with the prime object of increasing the membership of the Masonic order. Such is not the case. De Molay is a boy ' s fraternity for boys, under Masonic supervision and guidance. Unless the boy elects to go farther, his relationship ceases when he reaches the age of 21. 60 ORGANIZATIONS 61 VC WDE ?5 CLUB Carlisle Herron Founded 1915 by John H.

April 10, ' 22. S. A. M. ' s and Sigmas held a joint meet- ing.

M. C. A. President; the Captain of the 1921 Football team; Captain-elect, Football, ' 22; and the Basketball Captain. These are not all the honors that have come to the Club during the year, but they are sufficient to prove to anyone that we are striving diligently to put into effect our motto.

The school ' s oldest literary organization, and as old as the institution itself, has never departed from the lofty ideals of its founders. It has proved the creator of character, and it has fostered the development of the intellect. Not only have its members attained the highest scholarship, but their efforts have everyw here been rew arded w ith success in the school of active experience. In oratory and argumenta- tion, the Forum is without a rival; it has never suffered defeat in debate. It has always furnished a majority of the debators w ho are chosen to represent the institution. But a society can never base its claims to glory solely on the deeds of the past. The Forum Debating Society has al- w ays recognized the fact that not to advance is to acknow ledge failure. In 1922, all of the speakers on the annual internormal debates were its representatives. In every other phase of the society ' s activities, signal progress has been made. What the future holds for the Forum, provided only the high standards, w hich it has always preserved, remain and continue to stand, can only partially be measured by what the last ten years have seen accomplished. 71 i i SIGMA ALPHA MU The Sigma Alpha Mu Literary Society is one of the lead- ing organizations of the Normal School. It is a means by which the ideals and traditions of the past and the dreams and hopes of the future are instilled into the hearts of the students. In our own Sigma Society we have created such a feeling of loyal, hearty cooperation, that we have developed not only leaders for our own society but also leaders for the prominent school organizations. Our Sigmas have ranked among the first in scholarship, in athletics, and in musical and dramatic activities. Three times w e have w on the silver lov- ing cup offered annually by the Woman ' s Association to the w inners in the inter-society debate. The Kappas have also won three times. As the Sigmas have held the cup for the last tw o years, w e have the greatest hopes for w inning it again this year, the third successive year, and making it permanently ours. Though the Sigmas are hard workers, we sometimes play as hard as we work. During the year, we have given recep- tions, teas, and parties which were greatly enjoyed. The biggest social success of the year w as the Valentine party given in Mynders Hall. We wish to contribute a generous amount of all our suc- cess to the encouragement and love of our dear Mother Mynd- ers. It is our earnest desire to perpetuate the club spirit and friendship which have lessened our trials and increased our triumphs. 72 73 o SIGMA ALPHA MU Flower — Red and White Carnation.

Many years from now you will gather the blossoms from the seeds you are planting. Close beside the gaudy flower of frivolity and pleasure is the little white blossom growing. It stands upon a small but strong stem w ith its wee w hite head lifted to the higher things of life. No matter how studiously we pursue our books, or how rushed we may be by good times, w e feel the need of our Y we enjoy the fellowship of the girls, the parties, the eats, but when we mention the Y. W. ' we feel a deeper indescrib- able consecration that w e have derived from being a member of this Christion Organization. On Sunday evenings we return tired and worn out after an enjoyable day with some friend in town. When the Vesper bell rings w e may go unw illingly into the parlor, but we al- ways leave filled with a renewed spirit and feeling that earth ' s prose is tingling with heaven ' s poetry. In the middle of the week w hen we most need some in- spiration to strive onw ard one of our greatest helpers comes. Sometimes a large group and sometimes a very small one greets Miss Welford to hear her explain the scripture but w e always get a vision of Christian idealism — more love and service for others and seeking to put ones self in the back-ground. On our regular Y. W. night w e strive for more faith in Christian ideals. Different bases and difficulties of Life are discussed that enables us to attack our problems with a greater understanding next day. So let us not forget that this small white blossom w ith its pure fragrance can only thrive when it ' s fed and that this one flower can enrich and ennoble our Garden of Life. This flower in our school-life, the Y. W. C. A. has 100% membership of the girls in Mynders Hall. Every member is w ide awake to a realization of her duty to the school and to the organization where influence is the spiritual insight into our life at Ole Normal. We have been fortunate this year in having for our lead- er Miss Maude Somerville as President; Miss Florine Harbert, Secretary; and Miss Ellen Davies, Treasurer. These efficient members have reached the ultimate good of a most successful year. The follow ing officers have been elected to serve the next year: Elise Strong, President; Ellen Davies, Vice-President; Bessie Sherrod, Secretary; Florence Harbert, Treasurer. We feel assured that with this efficient corps of leaders for 1913 our flower shall bud and bloom into a beautiful blossom whose fragrance shall fill the loneliness and satisfy the longing for higher and more sacred ideals w ithin the heart of every girl w hose privilege it is to be a part of our Y.

As a matter of fact they were indigo of the deepest hue. By some means unfathomable five of our stalw arts, ex-Captain Gran- tham, Charles Dodds, Lambert, Synder, and Baxter Crawford chose to cast their lot with Union University. Of the old regulars there remained only Captain Griff Dodds, Lampkins, Glascock, Maddox, Clark, and Foster. In addition no coach had been secured and many urged that football be aban- doned. We are glad to be able to report that the old Tiger-spirit refused to quit without a fight and that in spite of these obstacles a team was put out. Naturally it w as a Hurculyean task to build a fighting machine out of so little seasoned material but perhaps the best qualified man available was chosen for the task. Rollin Wilson, ex-Normal captain, picked for All Memphis quarter-back for tw o years during his stay at Normal and an all round athlete of ability accepted the task of coaching the Tigers. Realizing that the men must learn the game from the ground up, Coach Wilson drilled them thoroughly in the fundamentals, instilled into them the old Normal fighting spirit, and although defeated in earlier contests they finished the season in a blaze of glory. Starting in late it was necessary to take games as they were offered — the old adage of beggars and choosers still holding good. It became a neces- sity to play the hardest games; University of Mississippi, Jonesboro Aggies. Christian Brothers College, and Memphis University School before mid-sea- son and before the team could possibly round into shape. As a consequence these games were lost, but the splendid thing was that the Tigers never quit fighting and each appearance showed decided improve- ment. Normal had virtually been declared out of the running for the city championship but completely upset the dope by defeating the strong Tech High aggregation 1 3-6 in a game that never w as in doubt. So fierce was the Tigers attack that Coach Curlin of Central High, w ho had previously agreed to have his warriors meet Normal on Nov. 1 8 promptly decided that the game was off. Had our boys enjoyed the opportunity of meeting Cen- tral High it is the firm belief of Normal fans that they would have had an even chance to beat them and to claim the city title. The city championship by virtue of a 0-0 battle between Central High and M. U. S. resulted in a tripple deadlock; C. B. C. sharing in the honors on account of another scoreless game w ith C. H. S. Now M. U. S. went over to Wilson, Arkansas and with their strongest line-up defeated the Razorbacks 1 4-0. The very next week the Normal Tigers played the same team on the same field with the identical score 1 4-0. In addition to this M. U. S. beat Tech High by only one touchdown while Normal was able to score two over the Yellow-Jackets. All of the papers admitted that M. U. S. outplayed C. H. S. on Turkey Day and should have won. What is the conclusion of the whole matter? Namely this — that the Tigers at the close of the season were the equal of any prep team in Memphis. Next year with a goodly bunch of veterans back, w ith a reasonably w ell ar- ranged schedule, and with the all year round athletic director on the ground they w ill be rosy for a championship eleven. A resume of the season ' s record is as follow s: Normal 0, University of Mississippi 82 Normal 7, Union University 19 Normal 6, Memphis University School 32 Normal 13, Tech High School 7 Normal 38, Ford Kilvington Normal 14, Wilson (Ark.) High Normal 0, Jonesboro Agricultural College 27 Normal 12, Haywood County High 7 Normal 13, Christian Brothers College 25 Normal 7, University Tenn. Reserves 7 90 Charley Glascock, honored by his teammates with the Captaincy for 1922, was the field general of the team. He was called to quarter- back from an end position where he starred last season, due to the fact that Foster had to quit the squad on account of illness. Glascock has a world of speed which he used to splendid advantage, especially in the Tech game w here he averted a score by actually catching his opponent from behind. Hart, though apparently light for foot- ball, sprang one of the surprises of the season. He is grity to the core, never flinching from the bulkiest plays aimed at his end and often nailing the runner for a loss. Offensively he showed great form on handling passes and furnished several spectacular gains. Next season he will push any of them for an All-Memphis berth. Lampkins at center was undoubtedly one of the best linemen in the city and was well worthy of the honor awarded him on the All-Memphis eleven. On the offense he charged his opponents back and opened up v rell while defensively he showed fine judgment in anticipating plays and backing up the line. Another year at Normal and he will be a strong contend- er for any college team. Captain Griff Dodds, with his splendid natural physique coupled with several years of seasoning on the gridiron ■was a star both on offense and defense. He played at right-half throughout the season, showed well in all the contests and as a result vfon a w ell merited place on the Mythical All-Memphis eleven. 91 1 : Larkey, a new man at Nor- mal showed up as the best tackle on the squad. With his bulk and his fighting spirit he made up for lack of previ- ous football experience and by the end of the season few gains were registered around his end. Big things are ex- pected of him in the future. Maddox, a letter man from last year looked mighty good at times and then at others his condition failed to hold up. When he got into the game and hit his man something had to go for he packs about 180 pounds of beef. With a little more drive he should have made All-Memphis. Demuth Bill surprised himself and everyone else by the way he took to the grid- iron game. Naturally strong and with his weight well dis- tributed he qualified as a guard at the start. Later, in the season he v as used at a tackle position and showed great promise. Jones, a basketball star, showed up well at end and ■was a hard and decisive tack- ier. All he lacks is more ex- perience for this sorrell-top- ped warrior has the fighting heart of a tiger. Clark, short and stocky, but full of drive was used as an emergency man both at end and in the back-field. At both stations he showed a willing spirit and next year should land a regular berth. 92 Moore and Walker were shifted about in the backfield positions and did well considering their experience. Each of these boys learned a lot of football and with continued effort should make good backfield men. Harder, Creagh and Norris were alternated at the guard and tackle positions and by the end of the season were putting up a good defense. All w ere voted letters and are counted on to show more stuff for 1922. 93 c; The very successful season of basketball for the girls of the West Tennes- see State Normal School opened on or about the 25 th of October, with a call for all girls who were experienced, and for those who w ere inexperienced but desirous of learning the game. The call was immediately answered by a large number. It was thought at first that Normal had suffered a misfortune by not having a good representation from their old last year ' s team back again, as only Misses Devrell and Briggs from the old squad reported. But, as w e shall see it w as no misfortune, probably it w ould have been had it not been for Mrs. Teuton, their coach, who has unique ability at developing a bunch of recruits into championship material. So we see Normal beginning the season w ith practically a new team but a very excellent coach. It was not long until they were pronounced in a fit condition to play the first game of the season. They played their first game, and the second and the rest, winning all of them. At the end of the season the scores w ere as follow s: Normal 55- Normal 32- Normal 20- Normal 44- Normal 29- Normal 40- Normal 22- Normal 35- Normal 36- Normal 42- Normal 1 8- Normal 71 — Normal 35 — ' White Haven 7 Rosemark 7 Capleville 2 Collierville 1 2 Cuba I 2 Tech Hi 1 ■White Haven 6 Covington 7 Millington 2 McFerrin 9 Cuba 8 Covington 1 Union University 19 So with an undefeated season the girls disbanded about February 1 0. They were given a banquet by the institution and letters were awarded to the following: Elise Strong, Catrina Parrot, Eva Briggs, Willie Devrell, Louise Verdell, Gladys Dunkel, Edna Biddle, Edith Hamilton and Alice Dorsey. 94 Strong: Although rather small she held a very high position on the team. Elise has had considerable experience in basketball. She played with the Tigresses 1919-1920, and we were delighted to have her with us for an- other season. She first showed her ability to toss the ball when in the game with White Haven she threw twelve field goals. In the second game of the season she is credited with twenty-one of the thirty-two points in Nor- mal ' s favor. In a case of necessity, Miss Strong was tried as running center. There also she was a brilliant player. She was quick, alert, and always played with determination. Briggs: Nuff Sed — If you ever wondered why other teams did not pile up as large a score as Normal, you will wonder no more after you have seen Eva do some guarding. She was a big part in every game, playing the first part of the season as jumping center where she was a great success. No goals were made off her in the Union game and it was a time for goals, if they could they surely would have yet they didn ' t. Eva also was with the team last year. She did not make a first position then but she entered with the determination this year that made her a great success. We owe much to Miss Briggs. Devrell: Bill as she is most generally known, was a good player, is a good player, and is each year becoming a better player. Bill was captain of the Tigresses the past sea- son and showed extreme ability in that capa- city. It was Normal ' s fortune to have Miss Devrell with the team the season of ' 22. She easily made the position as forward both sea- sons. It is she to whom we owe most of the credit for several large scores to Normal ' s credit. In the game with McFerrin she made thirty of the forty-two points, and with Cov- ington sixty of the seventy-one points. So it was the whole season through. Everyone knew we had a big chance winning as long as little Bill was tossing the ball. She was dependable, a husky little fighter and a modest victor. We sincerely hope Miss Devrell is going to be with the team next year. Biddle: Another of Normal ' s guards also another reason why opposing teams never piled up a large score. We all know Edna is a fighter. She can play ball and is a lover of the game. She played in all but one game and succeeded in establishing a fine record for herself. 95 c Verdell; Our jumping center. Her ' s was a position not only of work, but of the science of the game, and Louise seemed to be right there with both. In every game she was ready at the referee ' s signal to slightly tilt the ball either direction she desired, just to suit her fancy, it seemed for she usually did succeed in placing the ball toward our goal on the knock-off. Dorsey: In looking over the re- cord of the team one finds some- thing like this: Out of a total of thirty points, Dorsey 22; out of 40, Dorsey 20, etc. Alice was another of our forwards. She was rather a new hand at the game, but before long she handled the job like an old experienced player. In some of the most hard-fought games we see her as a star. She played in eight out of the fourteen games. Alice should be given much credit. Hamilton; One of Normal ' s best guards. She was quick and always ready to receive the ball. She was not one of the spectacular players, being both little and quiet, but she was always ready to deliver the goods. Edith played in several of our hardest games and rarely allow- ed a goal to be made off her. Dunkel; Had it not been for her we certainly should have experienced some difficulties that were removed by her presence on the team. She was an adept hand at side center and when it came to a rough and tumble affair she always came out winner. In every game Miss Dunkel played well. Parrott: Another one of our bas- ketball players. We see her in the lineup time after time, and if we have ever seen her play the position of side center we know the reason why. She supports the team in everything. She is a booster, not a knocker. 96 Chappell, Carlton: This man also should be given much credit for he cer- tainly proved himself worthy. He was our forward and he usually starred in this position. Carlton was our long distance man and it seems that he had unique abili- ty at ringing the goals from almost any angle. Chappell is also a new man but he brought with him the approval of the high school from w hence he came. Jones: Captain Jones v ras a great as- set to the team, he v ras an old hand at the game and was of valuable assistance to the other members. Laurence easily made his letter last year and he is also Credited with one in football so he must be a fighter and he is. We sincerely hope to have him in school next year. Allison Murray: Better known as Pat and a guard. This was Allison ' s first season with Ole Normal, but he had received some training in Tiptonville, en- rolling in school at the beginning of the ■winter term he immediately went out for basketball and he made a guard and a good one, too. 97 i:;l iii! ' Scrivener, Floyd: Our Center He was well deserving of that title as he pos- sessed every quality of a good man in that position. We not only depended up- on Scrivener for placing the ball in our territory but for tossing the goals. He could have well been a forward. This was his first year at Normal and he es- tablished for himself a fine show ing for a permanent position on the team next year. Moore: This man entered the season with what most men lack and that is de- termination. He determined that he would make good and also that he would make the team. We are proud to say that he did both. Emil w as a dandy at tossing goals consequently he filled the position of forw ard and filled it well. We all had confidence in him. Moore could cover the court and -was aWays worrying his opponent as to where he would be next. He is also a football letter man and we are reserving a high berth on the football squad for him next year. Corbitt, Douglass: He was good at either forward or guard, always fighting anywhere he was placed. He played some with the team of ' 21. He always played a fine game and was never with- out plenty of pep and enthusiasm. At the close of the season, letters were awarded to the following men: Jones, Allison, Chappel, Moore, Scrive- ner and Corbitt. 98 99 I ' ll i n a: o a: o DQ J a: D o 100 101 CAN YOU IMAGINE Mr. Hughes as a Bolshevik?

The school has six grades. In each grade the work is planned to corres- pond wtih the courses of the public school, but the work is elaborated and broadened through dili- gent study and consecrated effort on the part of the teachers in charge. The faculty of the training school consists of a director of training, a principal and five teachers. The director and critic teachers are in charge of the actual work of teaching, and closely supervise the work of the student teachers. No effort is spared to make the work the best possible. The training school is peculiarly tho Normal students laboratory. Here he observes daily for a period of three months the classroom work. This is done under proper supervision and direction. After observing for three months the student begins his practice teaching and this is continued daily for three months. Prior to teaching a given topic or subject, every practice teacher is re- quired to submit a lesson plan to the supervisor. When the plan is accepted the practice teacher puts it into practice with his class. Practice teachers all attend the critiques of their respective critic teachers.

To ' NormaV Students and Others Who Do Their Own Thinking : The laws of economics demand the recognition of facts. Civiliza- tion is a fabric in which each thread is dependent upon others, The prosperity of the south is a thing that cannot be composed of cotton or lumber or merely business interests. We of the hotel business in Memphis, have come to appreciate the fact that our success is due to the material prosperity of the outside w orld, that city is dependent upon country and country upon city. Our statesmen, in charting the future of the great state of Tennessee have provided an educational system because they have recognized the need of clear thinking young men and young w omen in the development of natural resources. It therefore devolves upon us all to appreciate our duty to the state and thereby to one another. Those of you attending West Tennessee Normal are being prepared at considerable expense, to aid the growth of other minds as their mental capacity develops. It is quite a serious thing, not to say an honor, your personalities will impress themselves upon others; your very mannerisms will be unconsciously imitated. We there- fore hold Normal Students in great respect, believing they appreciate the responsibilities of their chosen career. In a like manner w e recoganize our own part in the general scheme of making Memphis a better place in which to live, to own property, to educate our children, to do business. And it is our pleasure to cooperate with West Tennessee Normal whenever we can.

STAFFORD WATER Recommended for Brights Disease, Diabetes and Kidney Diseases Generally Distributed by MINERAL WATERS CO. Linden Station Learn the Truth The distinguishing faculty of strong and clear minds is their ability to see and differentiate between Truth and Error. It is this quality which enables their possessors to become intellectual leaders. The persons of such discernment realize that a public service institution, like the Street Railw ay Company, is a necessity in modern city life. Without it, business would slow down and social intercourse become more difficult. Commercial activities would become stagnant and this disordered condition would cause loss to every wage earner, business man and citizen of the munici- pality. In addition to being an important cog in the whole commer- cial fabric of a city, the Street Railway Company is otherwise, a big asset to a municipality. It is a large taxpayer, and there- fore an important support to city government. It is also a large employer of labor, the money of its pay- rolls being immediately turned back into the channels of busi- ness for stimulating trade. Quite important, too, it is a constructive factor in extending its lines into suburban territories, which are thus enabled to become city subdivision additions. Modern city life is impractical without the service which the street car renders. It is a duty of people of discernment to recognize these truths and establish them in the minds of others.
